  • Object Engraving, by N. and S.S. Jocelyn, 1828 Courtesy of New Hampshire State Library
    Object Engraving, by N. and S.S. Jocelyn, 1828 Courtesy of New Hampshire State Library There are several conflicting accounts about the discovery of the Old Man of the Mountain, the earliest known dating from 1844. However, most of the accounts agree that the granite profile was first seen—other than presumably by Native Americans—around 1805 and that it was first noticed by members of a surveying party working and camping in Franconia Notch near Ferrin’s Pond (later renamed Profile Lake) and that just one or two members of the party happened to be in just the right spot, looking in just the right direction to see the remarkable face. In 1828, this engraving based on a sketch by “a gentleman of Boston” is the first known image of the natural profile. It was published in the American Journal of Science and Arts, making the natural wonder more widely known. Object Old Man of the Mountain, by Edward New Hampshire Historical Society Hill, 1879 1925.007.01 The White Mountains tourism boom of the nineteenth century came along with a demand from visitors for images that captured the places they had seen. During the 19th century, more than 400 artists painted White Mountain landscape scenes. Among them was Edward Hill (1843– 1923), who immigrated to New Hampshire from England as a child, bought land in Lancaster, NH, in the 1870s and established a reputation as a landscape painter. For 15 years he was the artist-in-residence at the famed Profile House, and it was during that time that he painted the Old Man of the Mountain.

  • ”Shoes”: a Componential Analysis of Meaning
    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes. Keywords: shoes, meanings, features Introduction analyzed and described through its semantics components which help to define differential There are many different ways to deal lexical relations, grammatical and syntactic with the problem of meaning.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • Lonesome Lake Distance (Round Trip): 3 1/4 Miles Walking Time: 2 3/4 Hours Vertical Rise: 1,000 Feet Difficulty : Moderate
    Lonesome Lake Distance (round trip): 3 1/4 miles Walking time: 2 3/4 hours Vertical rise: 1,000 feet Difficulty : Moderate One thousand feet above Franconia Notch is Lonesome Lake, one of the finest family hikes in the White Mountains, and a goal for climbers and visitors who take advantage of the graded trail to walk in and see a true mountain lake in a spectacular setting. No longer "lonesome," quite the opposite, the much- used trails, along with the plywood hut of the AMC, and the voices of hikers with their colorful packs and clothes, give a modern touch to the ancient scenery. The lake has been popular since the days of mountain inns after the Civil War, but still today, you cannot drive there. The only way to reach the lake is by walking. You can’t see the lake from the road below. The trail still mostly follows the old bridle path, along which many vacationers from the now-vanished hotels rode to the lake for the magnificent views of the mountains on both sides of the Notch. Legend names President Ulysses. S. Grant as one of the notable visitors. According to the story, he came to the Notch and the Profile House in 1869. A yellow coach and six bay horses driven by Ed Cox, a famous "whip," brought him from Bethlehem in fifty-five minutes—a fantastic rate of more than thirteen miles an hour. In later years, a steam train arid rails brought guests to the Profile House, -which burned in August 1923.

  • Wading for a Bite Fishing from Shore Can Create a Dilemma
    Wading for a Bite Fishing from shore can create a dilemma. You may not be able to cast far enough to reach some fish. One trick is wading closer. Chest waders or hip boots will help. Waders and hip boots come in two types— “stocking foot” or “boot foot.” “Boot foot” means the boot is part of the wader or hip boot. “Stocking foot” means a neoprene sock is sewn onto the wader or hip boot. A boot is laced up over top (just like putting shoes over your socks). Both work well, but stocking foot types are usually more comfortable. Waders and hip boots are made of different materials. 48 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • March/April 2014 PFBC Facebook: PaFishandBoat www.fishandboat.com Rubber – Waders or boots made from rubber are inexpensive and durable. They are good for walking through brush, but they offer no thermal protection from cold water. If they are folded during storage, older rubber boots can leak near creases. Neoprene – Neoprene waders or boots are durable. They are great for wading in cold weather, because neoprene traps body heat but can be less comfortable to wear. Breathable fabric – Breathable fabric allows air and body moisture to pass through but blocks water. It is comfortable for all day wear but won’t trap heat like neoprene. Waders and hip boots also have different types of soles and choosing the right one can be an important decision. Felt – Felt is great on rocky bottom streams. However, walking on muddy bottom streams or muddy banks can be slippery with felt soles.

    THE PHILIPPINE FISHERIES SYSTEM: A MANAGEMENT PLANNING PERSPECTIVE by RAMYLEO T. PELAYO Special Project Report in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Marine Resources Management Program College of Oceanography Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 1983 For Lilia and Janice ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My study grant for a masteral program in Marine Resources Management (MRM) came from the Philippine Governments agricul- tural loan project with the United States Government. I am therefore thankful to the officials and staffs of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the projects coor- dinating agencies for their respective governments, and the Phil- ippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Deve- lopment (PCARRD), the agency I work for. I am particularly indebted to Dr. Elvira 0. Tan, PCARRD Director for Fisheries Research, for recommending me for a fel- lowship. In the end, I appreciate the favorable appraisal of my graduate committee: Dr. Victor T. Neal, MRM Program Coordinator and project adviser; Prof. Robert Schoning of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife; and Dr. William Pearcy of the College of Oceanography. Among my professors, I should thank Dr. Charles Warren for providing me with a fresh lens for viewing resource science and management. My deepest gratitude goes to Olga and Bruce Sutherland without whose generosity and friendship my experience here would not have been as meaningful and fruitful. I also give my thanks to several other people who helped me in different ways during the making of this report, especially Kathryn Boeckman, Peter Howd, Heather Fawkes, Gary Braun, Federico and Emma Valerio, Anne-Marie Fagnan, Tish Parmenter, Mark Solon, Peter Ochumba, Gustavo Montero, Taka Hirai, Bill Ratliff, and my co-workers in PCARRD, Cesar Pagdilao, Rachel Baguilat, and Ester Cortes.
