Nothing like a new buzz word to get you going. As much as I hate to see summer leave, I will not miss hearing all the hype about staycations. Staycations are those modest close-to-home family getaways that became popular last year with gas prices hovering around four bucks a gallon. Since tourism rings the register big time in New Hampshire,…
Have you hugged a radiologist today? You might want to, if you think about how much radiology contributes to health and medical treatments. Radiology is often a driving force behind improved, less invasive health care that involves lower risk and shorter recovery time than traditional methods. It enables some patients whose conditions in the past would have called for major…
The good, the bad and the fattening …If you are what you eat, then many of us are probably experiencing a bit of an identity crisis. After all, it’s easy to be confused when faced with a steady stream of conflicting reports about what’s good for us. Eggs are in — no wait, they’re out. Well, maybe just the yokes….

The very name of the month, October, sounds curious and rare, like a noun trapped in amber. It’s also a month dense in symbolism, with images of harvest and transformation. I guess I had…
Joining the circus was the last thing Sara Greene ever thought she’d do. She didn’t even go to the circus as a child and had little idea what it was all about. Then she went to Europe to travel and work for five years, and found herself drawn to the ubiquitous street performers — many doing what you might see…
She’s the “better half” of WOKQ’s popular Morning Waking Crew with Mark Ericson. And between the two of them, “popular” only scratches the surface. In this year’s N.H. Magazine‘s Best of NH poll, WOKQ executed a hat trick, winning the popular vote as “Best FM Radio Station,” “Best Morning Show” and with the lovely Danielle taking the title of the…
As glassblower Trish Dalto says, “Glass is like nothing else; it is difficult and takes real commitment to do well, but it never gets boring. There is so much you can do with the colors.”The new Kalish/Dalto “shard” vases are exactly that — colorful patterns created from shards of patterned glass, created in an earlier step. The broken pieces are…
