Track closed
CYCLISTS and other users of the railway path in Staple Hill face continuing diversions this month.
CYCLISTS and other users of the railway path in Staple Hill face continuing diversions this month.
The track has been closed at Teewell Hill since October 6 for work that is expected to last about eight weeks.
It is needed so engineers can carry out the foundation works to widen the road bridge above the path.
Mike Johnson, bridge and highway structures manager at South Gloucestershire Council, said: "We are working on the path to prepare the groundwork so that the foundations for the new bridge widening works can be constructed. Once completed, the wider bridge will also provide new footways for pedestrians.
"While the railway path is temporarily closed, we will use the opportunity to carry out essential maintenance work to the Staple Hill tunnel. This will include repointing the tunnel's arch and airshafts. The work is being combined in order to keep any disruption to a minimum."
A diversion route is in place via Signal Road access ramp, Teewell Hill, Teewell Avenue, Seymour Road, Soundwell Road, Page Road, Upper Station Road and Acacia Road before re-joining the railway path via the access track.

text: These are but two of a plethora of Sadlers Wells releases which Classics for Pleasure has just issued. Overall they will, I suspect, be of primary interest to those who owned the original LPs or attended the shows. The point of this review is the conductor. Colin Davis, pre-Royal Opera House and pre-knighthood, was in charge of matters musical at Sadlers Wells during the first half of the sixties. The Carmen excerpts fine in terms of extraction until we are left in mid-air during Act 3! begin with a swaggering and articulate account of the Prelude, including a few rhetorical emphases that today the just-as-vital Sir Colin might disown! The lack of French loses the music its sensuality. The singing-style rolled Rs, exaggerated word-play, moments precious, stagey and hammy; add in some intonation problems and vibrato excess displays a certain age while raising a smile and a grimace! Showing how it can be done is Raimund Herincx he doesnt force dynamics and brings equilibrium of tone. He also does his best to make the translation seem less ill-fitting than it is. Colin Daviss conducting stands out his future then assured and measured unequivocally over four decades. He conducts with affection and tenacity even if one doesnt know who is at the helm, its not difficult to hear a force of personality, someone who insists on particular things being done. For Davis and Herincx, this CD is worth a listen. Oedipus Rex is the prize, a veritable bargain a performance to rank with the best and not, this time, compromised by a change of language: the music is sung in Latin, a language that Stravinsky described as turned to stone. Ralph Richardsons narration has its risible moments, yet, accent and enunciation aside, he brings his theatrical instincts to bear in a way that can only grip the listener and plunge us straight into the drama. Colin Davis has an instinctive feel for music-theatre, and with a recording vivid and weighty, this really is a finely judged rendition. The mens chorus is focussed, the instrumental lines beautifully clear (not least piano and timpani), and the soloists are integrated without being denied their role-play. Ronald Dowd, sure of line, is a demonstrative Oedipus, and the whole cast is excellent, Raimund Herincx once more, and Patricia Johnson seems more at home as Jocasta than as Carmen. Incisively conducted, Davis allies sentiment, sentience and dramatic impact; he has the measure of Oedipuss monumentality and of the parts that make up that sum. At CFPs budget price, there really is no need to hesitate. Classics for Pleasure

Reporting fraud, from embezzlement to identity theft, is important for two reasons: it can help you as a victim recover personal losses, and it can prevent other people from falling victim to the same scheme. Sometimes, whether because of the high volume of fraud reports or because your local police force is ill-equipped to deal with such cases, filing a fraud report with local authorities can be difficult. Still, you should always report a crime, including fraud, to the local police, as a police report will help protect you in the future. If you're the victim of a fraud, close your affected bank accounts and credit cards, file a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), place an alert on your credit report and begin the process of filing a police report with your local law enforcement agency.
First Report to the FTC
The first step after you lock down your accounts and credit is to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission online at ftc.gov. Fill out the FTC ID Theft Complaint form, which will grant you some protection against fraudulent information on your accounts and credit report. The FTC will provide you with guidance as to how you can stem the negative effects of the fraud and what steps you should take next. The FTC recommends filing a police report.
Filing a Police Report for Fraud
After reporting the matter to the FTC, call your local police and tell them you'd like to file a fraud report. Ask them if it's possible to do so in person at the station. If not, ask how you can file by phone or online and take notes on their instructions. If you go into the station to file, bring a copy of your FTC report and any supporting documentation, such as your bank statements or correspondence you may have received from the thief or companies the thief has dealt with. Fill out the forms given to you by the police and ask them to attach the copy of the FTC report to your police report.
Ask for a copy of your police report. Hold on to your report as proof of fraudulent activity on your accounts and credit report. If the police cannot offer you a copy of the police report, as is the case in some jurisdictions, have the officer sign your FTC complaint form and list the police report number in the "Law Enforcement Report" portion of the complaint form.
If your local police are unwilling to take a fraud report, try filling out a Miscellaneous Incident report. Then contact your state's attorney general to see if your state requires local police to take fraud reports. Your state's attorney general may also have a special task force to combat fraud, and his office may be able to refer you to another jurisdiction, such as the state police, to file your report.
Read More: Procedure for Filing a Police Report
Jurisdiction for Internet-Based Fraud
For fraud conducted via the internet, including scams delivered by spam and phishing websites, and your local police may not be able to take your report if you don't know where the scam occurred. For example, if someone steals your identity and opens up a credit card in another state, you'd have to contact the police in that state; on the other hand, if everything was done online and you don't know where the scammer is located, police jurisdiction might be harder to determine. Contacting the FTC is the first step in this situation.
What to Do Next
Keep copies of all reports you file, both with the police and with the FTC, as they may be needed again to combat new or reappearing fraudulent charges. You may want to provide copies to the credit reporting bureaus as part of your fraud alert file.
If you've experienced fraud, your first step is to protect your finances by putting a fraud alert on your credit report and freezing or closing your bank accounts and credit cards. You can freeze your account by contacting your bank. To place a fraud alert on your credit report, contact one of the three credit reporting companies – Experian, TransUnion or Equifax. After you've secured your accounts and credit, report the fraud to the Federal Trade Commission, then file a police report.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D – NY) called ex-president Bill Clinton to express his remorse over lying about "inappropriate" online relationships.
Clinton advised Weiner to be patient: "Look at what happened to me – if you just wait things will blow over. Sure things suck right now, and the media will chew you up and spit you out, but you just have to swallow your pride and take your licks."

When is a Good Time to Buy a Boat in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire?
If you have been thinking about buying a boat, either for your vacation rental in Wolfeboro or to take back home and use on trips all across the country, you might wonder when the best time is to buy a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee. If you have visited the NH Hole in the Wall on Main Street, the chances are good that you have seen our wide selection of custom fishing rods and reels, boat rentals, local tackle rentals, and fishing electronics in Wolfeboro. But what you might not know is that we also sell boats. When it comes to buying a boat, there's no bad time or good time to make the purchase. If you take the time to do the research, figure out exactly what you want, and then find the boat that you want to buy, that's the right time to buy a boat.
What Type of Boat Should You Get?
The first thing you need to decide is what type of boat should you get. One way to decide is to take advantage of boat and local tackle rentals, get out there and do some fishing, take a tour of the islands, and figure out what type of boat suits you best. Do you prefer the calm and relaxing exercise that comes with using a rowboat? The NH Hole in the Wall has a beautiful selection of Loudon's double hull, hand-laid fiberglass lapstrake design and construction rowboats. We also have the popular Pocket Skiff, which offers all of the seaworthiness and stability that you would expect in a fiberglass boat of its size, with a storage compartment and options for single or double rowing.
If you have children who want to learn how to operate a boat and you are looking to buy a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee, consider the Wee Skiff. Designed for young rowers, the design of this boat is stable and sturdy, providing safe means for beginners to move swiftly on the water while learning control. Pair it with local tackle rentals and rentals of custom fishing rods and reels, and you've got yourself a memorable vacation that your kids will talk about for years to come.
One of the most popular options to buy a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee is the Whitehall. Excellent for use in conditions that would not be feasible for an open water shell or racing scull, the Whitehall is great for use in wind and waves. Just two or three strokes will get the vessel up to speed, providing a long, smooth glide that will take your breath away. Capable of speeds up to four or five knots, which can be maintained for hours without strain on the rower. Just about any rower with any level of experience can effectively handle the Whitehall, providing an enjoyable day out on the water. If so desired, a motor mount can accommodate as much as a 3 HP outboard motor.
Licensing Information for New Hampshire
You don't need a boat license to operate a boat in New Hampshire. If you will be operating a boat that has 25 HP or less, you don't even need to get a boating certificate. However, it is always a good idea to take a boating safety course. Make sure to ask one of our team members about signing up for local boating safety classes, either online at-home, locally in your state, or right here in New Hampshire. A "paddling" course is available in some areas that can help you become familiar with safety recommendations for row boats, canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, and other similar vessels, all of which can come in handy when you least expect it.
If fishing is on the list of things you want to do when you visit, you can either rent or buy a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee, browse custom fishing rods and reels, take advantage of local tackle rentals, and even check out some fishing electronics in Wolfeboro at the NH Hole in the Wall to help you find the fish! You can get all of your licensing for fishing, hunting, archery, clams and oysters, as well as registrations for snowmobiles, ATVs, trail bikes, and any transfers or replacements of licensing, right here at the Hole in the Wall. Just give us a call at 1-603-569-HOLE (4653) and speak with one of our team members about rentals, sales, licensing and more for your next trip to Lake Winnipesaukee in beautiful New Hampshire.
