Motto:

 Our intention in the Journey of Life is not to arrive safely and well preserved
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming
"Wow - What a Ride !"

Lincoln Public Library . . . Named 5 Star For 5th Straight Year !

America’s Star Libraries, 2012: Top-Rated Libraries Chooses Lincoln Public Library five years in a row.  The only 5 Star library in New Hampshire.

We are very pleased to present the results of the fifth edition of the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service (LJI), a measurement tool that compares U.S. public libraries on the quantities of services they deliver. The 2012 LJ Index, brought to you by Baker & Taylor’s Bibliostat Collect and Connect, is based on Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) data for 2010.

This year, 262 libraries have received Star designations based on their service output. Over the five editions there have been 1,296 Star awards conferred upon 455 libraries representing 44 U.S. states. On average, 259 Star Libraries have received these designations per edition (the number varies by year owing to occasional ties). Though a significant number of libraries post repeat performances, turnover in the annual roster of Star Libraries has been moderate. In any given edition, about 200 libraries received repeat Star honors (though not necessarily the identical Star count), while roughly 60 additional libraries earned new star designations.

THE ONLY NEW HAMPSHIRE LIBRARY CHOSEN AS A FIVE STAR LIBRARY 5 YEARS IN A ROW !

An impressive 111 public libraries received Star awards in all five LJI editions, and 30 select libraries earned 5-Star ratings in all five editions.  The Lincoln Library of New Hampshire is rated in this category.

 

 National Disabled Ski Hall of Fame Comes to Loon Mountain !

Lincoln, New Hampshire, February 7, 2010—Finding a new home on the east coast the National Disabled Ski Hall of Fame comes to New England Disabled Sports at Loon Mountain.  The National Disabled Ski Hall of Fame was created by the Disabled Sports USA and the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park Colorado in 1995. For the past 15 years the hall has resided at Winter Park Ski Resort and the Colorado Ski Museum in Vail. The hall was created to honor individuals who have had an influential role in disabled sports as well as athletes who have excelled in disabled sports. The hall consists of famed pictures and biographies of the inductees as well as examples of adaptive equipment used for skiing. The hall honors achievements in adaptive sports over the last 40 years.

“Disabled Sports USA and US Paralympics are proud to have the National Disabled Ski Hall of Fame housed at New England Disabled Sports at Loon Mountain and the Franconia Notch Area.”   Click here for more information.

The Flying Fifties contributed $l,005.00 to the White Mountain Adaptive Snowsports School at Loon during the 2007-08 ski season!.  Support from benefactors such as the Flying Fifties has a considerable impact on the ability of students and coaches of the school to continue to improve and meet goals for the season.  These funds will help defray daily costs of lessons for many of the students.

 

 Gas Prices Going Up . . . Our Latest Survey !

Gas Pump

Some Energy Facts For The Winter !

1. Here are some useful facts to keep in mind:
  The amount of heat contained in a gallon of #2 fuel oil is 139,000 BTU.
  The amount of heat contained in a gallon of kerosene is 134,000 BTU.
  The amount of heat contained in a gallon of propane is 91,600 BTU.
  The amount of heat contained in a kilowatt-hour of electricity is 3,413 BTU.

2. To compare the cost of heat from a gallon of fuel oil verses a gallon of propane you need to multiply the cost of the propane by 139,000/91,600 or 1.52.

3. To compare the cost of heat from a gallon of fuel oil verses electricity you need to divide the BTU's contained in a gallon of fuel oil by the BTU's contained in a kilowatt hour of electricity then multiply by the cost of a kilowatt hour of electricity, e.g. 143,000 / 3,413 X $0.18755 or $7.86 !  (NHEC price used.) Would you still like to have an electric car?

4. Check out "heating degree day" data from NOAA to estimate how much fuel you should have burned year over year by clicking here.

5. Check out current oil prices of 12 different suppliers in Northern New England by clicking here.
