Here in New Hampshire, where town-meeting local government, Yankee ingenuity and frugality are part of our heritage, finding local solutions to larger societal problems may be in our genes. A question worth asking in these difficult economic times is how can we tap these age-old community values to address new problems such as the ever-increasing cost of energy, the reliance on distant and anonymous suppliers to meet our local needs, and our ability to help one another through times of stress an …

This is not a normal Meetup group! This is for those of you with fire in your blood: those with imaginations that excite and terrify, those fit enough to outrun zombies, the believers in lost causes. Like finding a cure for hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. For those who, in lieu of coffee, dare to embark with a stranger down the unbeaten path on an original $1 adventure... The common theme for all of these adventures is 1) some sort of attempt at forking up a culinary catastrophe, and 2) some …

Don't confuse being prepared with living in fear of the unknown. We may not be able to control the final outcome of some things, but we can certainly control parts of the journey along the way. There's a story my father used to share with me about a man trapped on the top of his house during a flood. The water was swiftly rising. As this man sits on his roof, fearful of being swept away by the current, he cries out to God, “God please deliver me.”A few moments later, a farmer friend arrives with …

Engineers are some of the most powerful people in the world. They have native intelligence, talent in mathematics and science and are responsible for numerous major technological advances. They not only possess knowledge of theory, but also how to apply that theory to real world problem solving and the creation of marvelous inventions. It’s unfortunate that they are so often unsung heroes. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are often broad brushed as near mythical, larger-than-life, demi-gods. We …

We believe in using COMMON SENSE IDEAS to build a healthier and happier community. What do we mean by Common Sense? We agree with the Webster's definition: "Beliefs or propositions that most people believe prudent and of SOUND judgment without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people in common.  Thus common sense (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience most people ALREADY HAVE." We believe that even with ALL O …

In the early months of 1998 a single individual challenged Secretary of State Madeleine Albright about the Clinton administration's saber rattling with Iraq at a CNN televised "town hall meeting." At the time Clinton was attempting to persuade the American public to support his intentions of bombing Iraq. Albright not only wouldn't answer the question, but she fled the scene once the event was officially over! This public relations fiasco stopped the Clinton White House's plans for war in the …

Improvised Connections can help you be more natural, be less inhibited, and ultimately, build better relationships with the people you're truly drawn to.
