AUGUSTA — Like wind spreading a forest fire, misinformation has been widely circulating in recent weeks about the biomass industry in Maine and around the country. These false assertions could potentially have dire implications for us here in Maine.
As recently as 2007, Maine generated approximately 24 percent of its electricity from biomass harvested from our sustainably managed forests (Maine Forest Service Inventory Analysis). In fact, a recent Maine Forest Service report indicates that even more biomass from the Maine woods may be available for use in energy production.
It is also is an industry that provides thousands of quality jobs for Maine people and an alternative to our dependence on foreign fossil fuels.
Maine's forest products markets are fully integrated in that we have developed sustainable systems to utilize virtually every component of the trees we harvest. Saw-log quality timber is sent to mills for lumber, pulpwood quality logs are sent to mills to make paper, tree tops and limbs are sent to biomass energy facilities to produce fuel, and on and on.
This level of integration assures that the markets consume wood wisely and efficiently. Using a portion of the sustainable harvest for energy production in this integrated fashion is one of the best ways Maine and the nation can provide for its energy demands from renewable resources.
Most of the recent misinformation has been born from a study published by the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences and the Environmental Working Group, which has ignited a flurry of misrepresentations by the press and environmental organizations. Most concerning, is the fact that many of these parties have concluded from these studies that "wood is worse than coal."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Even the authors of this study are crying foul about the misrepresentations of their work and in follow-up press releases have stated the Massachusetts study "cannot be readily applied to states where the biophysical characteristics of the forest, forest management practices, and energy sector differ significantly from Massachusetts." That means Maine.
Given the fact that Maine's forests are being sustainably managed as evidenced by Maine Forest Service findings and a tremendous increase in the third-party certification of forestland in recent history, we should find new ways to take advantage of the opportunities that biomass presents to us.
Granted, the issues surrounding biomass can be confusing, but environmental groups, government agencies and the media have a responsibility to the public, as well as about 1,000 Mainers who are employed by the biomass industry, to check their facts and provide a balanced view of the issue, before making false and potentially damaging claims about our biomass.
The calculations and science of carbon life-cycles is complex, confusing and full of questionable assumptions and therefore can be highly contentious. Our concerns with the Manomet report are focused less on its findings, and more on the interpretation and oversimplification it has led to, and will be led to, by others.
There should be no mistaking that the holistic value and benefits of a tree for various products, including its residues to fuel energy generation, far outweigh the carbon, economic and security aspects of fossil fuels.
It is important to understand that the carbon we "emit" into the air is not new carbon. It is carbon that is already a part of the environment, as opposed to carbon that is newly released into the environment when burning fossil fuels for energy.
Therefore, using wood residues for energy is a carbon-neutral activity because it does not release any new carbon into the air. The Environmental Protection Agency has never expressed disagreement on this point.
In fact, many credible organizations have come forward in support of the biomass industry as a clean energy source.
Organizations ranging from The Union of Concerned Scientists to the California Air Resources Board — known for being at the forefront of stringent environmental policy — all conclude that carbon benefits are unequivocally positive and dramatically lower than fossil fuels.
These organizations view the use of waste wood for biofuel as "biomass done right."
Additionally, just last month 114 scientists sent a letter to House and Senate leaders expressing strong support for the vital role biomass plays in achieving the country's renewable energy goals, how and why it is considered "carbon neutral," and the climate and environmental impacts of burning fossil fuels.
It is critical to bear in mind that all energy generation sources have impacts, but renewable, indigenous, sustainably managed power such as biomass is undoubtedly part of the energy answer as we pursue a path toward securing our energy, environmental and economic futures.
Simply put, wood is good.

Mesoamerica: Maya Civilization and City
Jade-1500 BC- Jade was starting to be used and was first being worshiped. In 1500 BC a Jade Head was found in Altun Ha ruins. The ruins are now famous because of the famous discovery. At approximately six inches high and weighing over nine pounds the Head is the still said to be the largest carved jade object in the whole Maya area. It is the national symbol of Belize, which is visible on every banknote. The "Jade Head" represented the Sun God, Kinich Ahau. This is the most significant find.
Olmecs- 1200 BC
The Olmecs were a culture of ancient people of the East Mexico lowlands. The Olmec were often regarded as the Mother Culture of later Middle American civilizations. A stone found is believed to be a calendar numbered using The Vigesimal counting system. The detail on the low relief of the stone shows detail from a four-digit numerical recording, read as 220.127.116.11. The counting system had been used across Mesoamerica. The value 5 is represented by a bar, where the value of 1 is represented by a dot. Where 3 bars and a single dot stand the value would equal 16. The Maya would later adopt this counting system for their Long Count calendar. The date in this relief is the oldest date recorded in Mesoamerica, corresponding to a day in the year 31 BC.
Tikal- 800 BC
The tomb of the Jade Jaguar at Tikal included the largest pyrite mosaic mirror found in all of Mesoamerica, the greatest number of pottery vessels of any Late Classic Maya burial known in the lowlands. Another amazing aspect of Mayan life was the use of the stone stela that dot the ancient city. Seen here in the great plaza, the massive stones were used to record the events of the time. Many are covered with glyphic writing, and pictures. Over 200 stone stela, altars and glyphic stones have been discovered in the city Though the Maya did not create sculpture-in-the-round, they did create exquisite relieves that paid tribute to past rulers and recorded the passage of time-a concept they obsessed over. These textual stones, many of which have been erased from erosion, were once covered in bright red paint, the colour that dominated much of the city. The stones provide much of the evidence that archaeologists have used to decipher the intricacies of life in the ancient Mayan civilization. Though they are not completely understood, ongoing research of the glyph-covered tablets continues to provide new revelations about the ancient Maya.
Zapotecs- 500 BC
The Zapotec is still poorly understood. At first the underlying language itself presents a problem. The first European record of the Zapotec language dates from the 16th century and the ancient form of Zapotec from a thousand years earlier is not documented at all. However, what is known about the Zapotec derive, mostly from comparing with other Mesoamerican writing systems. Like other Mesoamerican scripts, Zapotec used the bar-and-dot notation to represent numbers. In terms of time-keeping the Zapotecs employed the 365 day solar calendar and called it yza and the 260 day sacred calendar and called it piye. These solar and sacred calendars created a Mesoamerican time cycle of 52 years called the calendar round. This is the largest unit of time for Mesoamerican cultures, and therefore historical events are often recorded in terms of dates within a Calendar Round.
Popocatepetl- 300 BC
Popocatepetl is a snow capped stratovolcano that stands 13,776 ft (4200 m) above the surrounding basin. The name Popocatepetl, meaning "Smoking Mountain", was given to the volcano by the Aztecs, and suggests that the volcano has long been active. Popo, as it is often called, is built on an older volcano which adds 12,464 ft (3800 m) to Popocatepetl's elevation. The new cone consists of many steep lava flows that alternate with thick pyroclastic layers. The crater of Popo is oval shaped, very deep and has near vertical walls. The cone is covered with yellow sulphur spots and volcanic gases escape from...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit

What is the first question you are asked when you meet someone at a business or social function? "Hi, my name is …. What do you do?"
If you are the VP, CEO or have another prestigious title, the answer comes automatically and easily often with a tone of pride in your voice.
Let's dissect the conversation for a moment and notice you aren't really answering the question in the way it's being asked. In our culture, we often answer the "What do you do?" question with an "I am …" answer.
Never mind that in doing so, we aren't really answering the question; more importantly, is what you do really who you are? Read the rest of the article here in my post for Smartblog for Leadership …

With UK hate crime statistics rising a staggering 58% since the EU Referendum, it's unarguable that this is no longer a major issue facing British society. In fact, we'd already pitched for this brief in January 2016 - before the further increase directly linked to Brexit.
Our brief was (and still is) to tackle the issue head-on - producing campaign concepts that disrupt and raise question - where previous campaigns have made little impact. Our earlier concepts were stronger still, yet deemed too strong by the PCC. Our work is required to do three things:
- Highlight hate crimes: i.e. this isn't just about race or religion, but about sexuality, disability and transgender too;
- Define what a hate crime is: i.e. bullying, harassment, or the more obvious physical assault of people due to their difference;
- Encourage both victims and witnesses to begin reporting hate crimes (since many such crimes go unreported at this time).
Whilst this is only an example of the work in the #LetsHateHate campaign, hopefully this highlights some of our approach (due to be a fully integrated campaign, using social, PR and print).
The campaign concept is simple enough: #LetsHateHate. Let's stand up to it from now on and report it. We used real people rather than models, to make the campaign more authentic.
PR coverage and use of the hashtag has already been significant in the region.

Harbaugh and the media
The media conferences at Stanford had been tame affairs before Harbaugh arrived. The writers and broadcasters never challenged the coach. When Tyrone Willingham was coach, he'd answer a few powder puff questions and walk out after about 10 minutes. That, not incidentally, was why I wrote later in The Chronicle that Willingham would not make it at Notre Dame, where he'd face a media blitz like that for an NFL team.
When I was interviewed about Willingham by ESPN, the woman interviewing me said, "You're the only one I've heard who has that opinion."
My reply: "So?"
Willingham's first team at Notre Dame started strongly but it was all downhill for him after that, until he got fired. It wasn't long before he was out of coaching.
Harbaugh quickly turned Stanford from a doormat into a team that won the Orange Bowl in his last season, so the media coverage became much more intensive. I was at one session when he got into a shouting match with a writer who wanted to know if a wide receiver who was injured would be healthy enough to play on Saturday.
"If I tell you," Harbaugh said, "everyone will know."
He was right, of course. College coaches are not required to discuss players' injuries, so if one does, he gives the coach for his next opponent an advantage.
The NFL has a strict policy about revealing injuries and the likelihood that an injured player will play in the next game. That's to prevent gamblers from having knowledge that bettors don't have. When I first came to The Chronicle in 1963, when the NFL didn't have that policy, we'd often get calls about players. Since it was obvious that the callers were gamblers, we didn't give out any information but that might not have been true on other papers.
Harbaugh has adhered to the NFL rules in reporting injuries but he will not criticize players. Nor will he dignify reports that he's been undermined by the front office.
Lately, he's refused to answer questions about Michigan's interest in having him return as head coach. When I interviewed him shortly after he'd been hired at Stanford, he sharply criticized Michigan's "two-track" system of putting athletes who were not interested in academics in courses that would do nothing but keep them eligible. He knew I'd write that, of course, and he was quite pleased that the Michigan administration was very unhappy with him.
Now, Michigan is quite eager to get him to return as coach and the athletic director has told the media that they'd pay him $8 million a year.
So, at his weekly meetings with the media, there have been constant efforts to get him to comment on that. He has stonewalled on every question.
It bothers me that writers and broadcasters are so lazy, that they don't seek out people who know Harbaugh who might give them a hint about his thinking, or talk to the Michigan people to see if there had been any contact.
Most likely, nothing would come of that but there's always a chance they'd get something. They know that Harbaugh will not answer anything he doesn't want to answer. So, why keep butting your head against a wall?
Meanwhile, there's constant speculation that he'll take the job, without one bit of corroboration.
I'm sure Harbaugh loves this because Michigan and the media are setting his salary level: Whoever gets him will have to pay $8 million a year.
What do YOU think? Let me know!

Social justice in South focus of Sukkot film
Jewish rock musician Dan Nichols, the focus of the documentary Road To Eden, and the film's director, Doug Passon, will attend Temple Beth Or's screening of the movie as part of a Sukkot celebration on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 6:45 p.m.
Road To Eden shows Nichols and his band, Eighteen, in October 2011 when they toured the deep South during the festival of Sukkot.
On the journey, they encounter a homeless congregant of a temple in Florida, undocumented aliens in Alabama, sing with a black gospel choir in Birmingham, and celebrate the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Temple Beth Or's Rabbi Judy Chessin said the program will benefit the Dayton Food Bank and the Jewish Federation Food Pantry.
"The cost of admission is a non-perishable food item or a cash donation," she said. "The program is the brain child of congregant David Char, who attended a screening of the movie last December and really wanted to do this as a gift to the Dayton community."
Char, whose vision is impaired, attended the film's premiere at a fund-raiser for Ethan Kadish, a boy from Cincinnati who was struck by lightning in 2013 at Goldman Union Camp Institute in Zionsville, Ind.
"Although I couldn't see a single frame of the film, I was incredibly moved by the audio portion and what the movie really had to say," Char explained. "It speaks of the world's unending journey for peace and the quest of all people to find the
Promised Land, and the journey we must embark on to reach that destination."
Nichols will also lead a Shabbat celebration at Beth Or on Friday, Oct. 17, with a reception in the Sukkah at 6:30 p.m. and services at 7:30 p.m.

From 1st March to 4th April 2016, 68 students of our school took part in the Heifer's Read to Feed Programme 2015-2016. Students devoted their valuable time and effort to meaningful reading activities. Through joint efforts, they have made contributions to the poor farmers in China through the Heifer Feed Programme.
As the school organizer of the programme, the Reading Club held a prize and certificate-giving ceremony to celebrate the joy with all participants and club members. With the highly satisfying accomplishment we have achieved this year, we hope more students will join next year so that more people can benefit from it.

While getting ready for your move, you may come to the conclusion that it will be more beneficial to sell some of your old furniture (the pieces that you don't really use or the ones that you never liked) and use the money from the sale to either purchase new one when you move into your new home or to cover some of the inevitable moving expenses. After all, furniture is heavy and its transportation is never cheap.
Here's where you can sell the used furniture that you think it's not worth relocating to your new residence:
- Moving sale: regardless of whether you call it a moving sale, a yard sale or a garage sale, you're going to have to advertise it so that more people learn of its existence, and therefore attend it. Placing an ad in your local newspaper, erecting signs at appropriate places throughout your neighborhood and informing your circle of good friends through your preferable social network are three great advertising media that will jumpstart the sale of your used furniture.
- Online sale: why don't you harness the mighty potential of the Internet and bring your furniture sale to a successful end? Specialized websites like eBay and Craigslist will provide the large audience of potential buyers that you need but it's entirely up to you to distinguish yourself from the rest of the sellers by creating an attractive ad with good photographs and a comprehensive description.
- Used furniture dealer: if you're in a hurry to get rid of your old furniture, you can contact a used furniture dealer or a consignment store but get ready to settle for a less profitable deal.

In order to initiate a workers' compensation claim, your attorney will electronically file a Form WC-14 with the State Board of Workers' Compensation. If a hearing is requested, which will be done if we feel that the employer and its insurer are not providing you with all of the benefits to which you are entitled, then the insurer will assign the file to an attorney to defend the claim within a few weeks of us filing the hearing request. The parties will then go through a discovery process in which each side will serve typewritten questions called interrogatories as well as requests for documents upon the opposing party. The defense attorney will also likely want to schedule your deposition, in which you will provide oral testimony about your claim. The deposition will typically take place at your attorney's office, and there will be a court reporter present who will take down your testimony. If there is a dispute regarding medical treatment, the insurer may schedule you for an independent medical examination (IME) to get another opinion. Under certain circumstances, we also may send you for an IME to get an opinion to bolster your case. Ultimately, your case will proceed towards a hearing before an administrative law judge. However, most cases reach a settlement prior to you ever having to appear in court.
Need more information? Fill out a contact form and we will get back to you shortly. For even more help, browse some of our case results or try out one of our workers' compensation calculators.

Shorting the DOW During the Debt Ceiling Debate and Make Money
DOW Down Over 500 Points
Whose making money when the DOW is down?
Everyone who has stocks and that has shorted the stocks is making a killing in the markets right now. And while making money is not a crime the fact that this is occurring as a result of Congress who created the psychology of the market in which it has fallen over 500 points and they are refusing to tax those who shorted the market through the debt ceiling debate this means speculators are still welcome in the stock market. It screams inside trading for the likes of which the SEC should investigate every last person who has shorted the market right now.
I only find this odd because I thought the Obama administration has had a goal to cut speculators out of the market.
And while many will see this as a buying opportunity it is also disastrous for our country. It makes it highly improbable corporations will be able to hire and therefore unemployment will remain at a record high if not increase.
I remember after 9/11 I tried to buy oil warrants from the Bank of New York and I was told I would be investigated for such behavior. In other words I was not allowed to buy oil warrants. As a matter of fact I don't even believe oil companies sell warrants any longer.
So if I wasn't allowed to buy oil warrants because it was considered "unpatriotic" after 9/11 then why aren't all the people who have shorted the market during and after the debt ceiling crisis being investigated?
Exactly, what is the difference between buying oil warrants after 9/11 and shorting the stock market during and after the debt ceiling crisis?
But alas there is hope. If the market makes a quick correction which it did back when Barack Obama was first elected the market went form about 7,000 to 11,000 in a relatively short amount of time. The individuals with short contracts can lose their stocks and marginals can be called in. It is one of the reasons I didn't buy shorts in this market environment. I don't usually bet against America. And I think those that have through this debt ceiling crisis need to pay their fair share of the karma especially since they will not be paying any taxes on the monies they have made from the down turn in the market.
What Does this Mean to You and Me?
Great buying opportunity as we are coming out of war. There is always a post war pop in the market ask the Rothchild's.
And you have to wonder why the 500+ members of Congress game the stock market at the expense of corporate America and the taxpayers to subsidize their already over paid income? And they do this all at the expense of the country and of the tax payers.
Congress threatened every all of America so they could short the market and caused great hardships for Americans so they could short the market and make money. It is time all of Congress is fired and that includes everyone that is new and that did't vote for the debt ceiling to be increased especially for those who didn't vote for the debt ceiling to be increased. The Tea Party Movement has committed treason with this debt ceiling stunt and the insider trading they have done to profit from this stunt. They should all be jailed.

If you don't like the unpatriotic or unethical aspects of shorting, you're not alone. Here's a petition you can sign to register your displeasure.
Dear Mr. Tindle,
I appreciate your informative hubs and I too will keep up with you since you provide high quality informatiave hubs on rarely covered topics.
I look forward to reading you in the future.
All My Best,
Thanks for reading the link and looking into it more. I try to provide high quality information on issues that are often overlooked. Especially issues pertaining to economics, business, & government. I will trying to keep up with your hubs in the future.
Hi Mr. Tindle,
You know you are right when it comes to Congress. I was thinking of these previous cases. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/03/politics...
But they relate to bribes Congress got from defense contractors and not the profits made from stock purchases. So Congress makes money on both sides of the trade. They get bribes to award defense contracts and then make record profits on the stocks and goodness knows the commodities.
I been working really hard producing hubs and haven't had a monent to get back to this subject until now. Thanks for clearing that up for me. it is a loop hole in the law and either way it needs to be closed for everyone. Ding business in America is expensie enough without Congress turning a profit on every single business transaction. It is like Congress taxes every bit of business the USA does.
Yes, I do think people find this hard to believe because they really want their leaders to be good sage people and sadly, they are not.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I appreciate the education.
Ok, I definitely agree that the broker might be prosecuted, although I doubt that would happen either, due to the fact that most of these elected Washington types probably place their trades through the most connected private wealth branches at firms like Goldman & JP Morgan.
Brokers are of course prohibited from insider trading, by law and could go to jail.
Congress specifically is a different story though. As long as the inside information comes to them as a result of their so called work in Washington, they are allowed to trade on it without ever being prosecuted. The link below is one I also provided as proof in my hub. The financial reporter even talks about legislation that was being introduced at the time to actually "Make Insider Trading Illegal" for congress, just like everyone else.
So obviously it is legal as of now, because why would any legislation be required if Congressional figures guilty of this could be prosecuted under current laws? Even lawmakers aren't dumb enough to pass laws that already exist.
But regardless Congress has been taking advantage of this privilege for years as research done by independent sources show that on average Congressional stock picks beat the market by around 12 percentage points.
I think this is just one of those things that people find so unbelievable that it can't be true, but unfortunately in this case it is.
But people really need to be aware of the double standard, because it's one reason that insider trading laws should be done away with.
Not to be disagreeable either but they are not immune from prosecution. If they act on insider tradng information they an be [rpsecuted although I agree with you that is is unlikey.
To give you a simpler explanation if a broker suddenly has clients working in government buying up stock and they reccomend that stock to some of their clients they can and do go to jail. SEC checks brokers accounts to see if their clienst hold all the same holdings and if they do they can get their U4 messed up. So if a broker whose business it is to advise and sell stocks isn't even allowed to reccommenda high volume stock trade by government employees then I doubt congress can legally do this. I know it is against the law and they can and should be prosecuted.
But I understand tht they will not. They just need to hang one over this and it will end.
So less to like about Congress. So I say throw all the bums out!!!
Our country is being run by criminals.
JT Walters,
Not to be disagreeable, but it is most certainly true that Congress has the lawful privilege to trade on inside information that they gather during the course of their work. For example say a congressman or woman knows about an obscure last minute addition to a piece of legislation that they also know is likely to be passed. It is perfectly legal for that representative to then go to their broker and make an investment in a stock that will benefit from the legislation. This can all be done before the news is available to the public and its all legal. Now it is possible they may come under fire for ethics violations and those sort of investigations (although that is rare as well), but they will not risk prison. To be clear this is only if the inside information relates to their role as U.S. representative. So as long as the get the inside information from their work in Washington it will be legal for them to trade on.
Hard to believe, I know, but I document it all in my hub. There I provide a link to a news item about on Daily Finance.com a site owned by AOL/Time Warner (Real Main Stream Stuff). There is also a link to some Wall Street Journal reporting about a Finance professors research showing that the stock investments of the Congress have been well above average stock returns during the period of time he looked at.
This is a really good topic to discuss I think, because so few people are even aware of the amazing double standard.
Shorting is a practice that has always made me nervous. Instead, I've tried to keep a bit of cash in my portfolio for precisely these types of dramatic drops. It's an old-fashioned "buy low and sell high" mindset, but I'm not trying to make my money in an afternoon. I know the companies that I think are solid and when the opportunity presents itself, I buy and hold.
Congress isn't immune from prosecution but I will check out your hub. Congress may not be prosecuted but they can be, they don't have immunity.
Sorry I read hubs just about everyday and somehow I missed yours. I'll check it out.
Thnaks for reading, commenting and providing feedback.
JT Walters,
We need less regulating and investigating by the SEC. In fact, if a real financial "solution" had been reached at the end of the debt negotiations, the SEC would be cut down to a much smaller (less expensive) size or even better, closed down.
With that said Congress probably is executing trades with insider information. I already saw it reported somewhere that Eric Cantor owns TBT (havn't confirmed it though) a security designed to go up when T-Bond prices go down. There want be any investigating of Congress's insider trading though. And even if there was there would be no real consequences, since members of congress are completely immune to insider trading laws.
I wrote a hub about this btw, check it out if you want.

Despite the threat (or promise) of Artificial Intelligence to make people redundant, the success of projects depends, to a high degree, on communication and collaboration between human beings. This is difficult enough, but the business-IT relationship seems to be a tough bottleneck.
This session explores this troubled relationship, inviting you to actively participate in identifying desired and effective behavior from both business and IT people. Your results will be compared to findings from workshops in more than ten countries.
After establishing effective behavior, we'll take a brief look at the fundamental drivers behind behavior, such as emotions and values.

The In an Instant episode "Murder in the Maternity Ward" tells the true story of Rick Worthington. In 1991, the father of eight children walked into the maternity ward of Alta View Hospital in Utah armed with a shotgun, a handgun and sticks of dynamite. He threatened to shoot babies if he did not find the doctor, Dr. Glade Curtis, who performed a tubal ligation surgery on his wife two years earlier. Worthington claimed the doctor didn't have his wife's consent.
Dr. Curtis, the nurses, and the women in the maternity ward – those who were expecting and those who just gave birth to their babies – retell their experiences during the 18-hour hostage crisis on 20/20 In an Instant. One of the nurses, Karla Roth, wrestled the shotgun out of Worthington's hand, but then he fatally shot her with the handgun. He later surrendered, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of Roth, and then committed suicide in his prison cell in 1993. 20/20 In an Instant airs Saturdays at 9pm on ABC.

A friend and I were sharing our hurt and pain of having a family member, that we were once close to, now be estranged from us. We talked of our hurt of not speaking anymore: no phone calls, text messages, or emails. All communication has been completely removed, sadly not by our choice.
We exchanged our many attempts to reconnect, by reaching out, making phone calls, texting hello, leaving happy birthday messages, sending holiday cards, and gifts. Yet sadly, our gestures have been ignored and not reciprocated.
We discussed how we have looked introspectively at ourselves trying to find our part in the separation. We both reached out, trying to make amends. We gave apologies, expressing our wrong, in whatever part we played. Yet, without even acknowledging our heartfelt confession, they continue to stay away.
Reconciliation seems so distant…and estrangement remains.
It brings us to tears.
Our hearts and eyes cry, as we pray for God to heal and reconnect.
We pray for soften hearts.
We pray for God to heal those wounds that our painful and sore.
And we trust God to heal us and one day reconnect us, to our estranged loved one.
Are you estranged from a loved one? If so, how do you handle being away from those you love?

In the article "Two Reasons I Love Italian Wine," wine critic Nick Passamore reports that he "dined at New York's A Voce with Chiara Soldati, fifth generation of her family to work in the family's Piedmontese wine business, La Scolca. Their primary focus is Gavi, made from the Cortese grape. Now Gavi is one of those many Italian white wines whose reputation suffered for decades from over production of thin, watery, acidic, lemon-water wines. But here's where La Scolca diverges from the narrative above: their move to quality came in the years following the war under the farsighted direction of Chiara's grandfather."

Chiara Soldati is very proud of this mention in Forbes. "La Scolca worked hard for many years to have our wines included among the finest tables in the world," says proprietor Chiara Soldati. "We're so proud of this distinction that is for us an important goal and an incentive to continue always with our straight philosophy of production. Every time it is very important to be appreciative in our production, and for us particularly, because our work it is also our passion of life."Â
La Scolca believes the Cortese grape has a big future, having pioneered the craft in this region of the world through the growing, obtaining and utilizing of the finest grapes the area has to offer.
La Scolca's Gavi dei Gavi is proof that behind every wine is an extraordinary human intelligence.
The winemakers were pleasantly surprised that Nick Passamore was able to review Gavi dei Gavi Black Label and La Scolca Gavi D'Antan 2004. His article went on further to say, "The fact that knowledgeable wine connoisseurs are prepared to pay what amounts to an astounding price for an Italian white wine is testament to the prestige in which La Scolca is held.
"The Gavi di Gavi designation applies only to wines from the village, or commune, of Gavi; wines from the surrounding region bear the single 'Gavi' on the label. This version is dry and crisp, but with a mellow, deep complexity that will deepen and evolve for several years, like an old Grand Cru Chablis."
About La ScolcaÂ
La Scolca believes in maintaining a Latin "furor" and passion, and knows that without courage it's very difficult to reach certain targets and imagine audacious goals. After the bunch, land and ground give the wine its soul, it's important to take into account the man who stays behind-La Scolca wines often resemble those who create them.
The quality of Gavi La Scolca goes beyond fashions and trends with its strong personality and gentle but firm and persistent character. Gavi La Scolca is difficult to forget after having tasted it. You could say that Gavi dei Gavi⢠could be a "timeless passion"

Muckydum: The Story of a Haunted Man
Stephen Chiarelli
Muckydum: The Story of a Haunted Man is the tale of a man who dissolves a "family curse" by owning his actions and confronting his family's history. This story has many surprises that will astound and inspire the reader. Muckydum is a love story in the most extreme form, filled with life lessons about family and loss.
Bill Hammond is an unusual man by ordinary standards. He has never had many friends, so his life has comprised mainly of the stories he formulated in his head. After his parents' deaths, Bill used the stories he wrote in his journals during his turbulent childhood to create two novels that became hugely successful and allowed him to live independently. As an adult, Bill has no one significant in his life until he reaches his thirties and meets Joanie. She brings calm and joy to his life. Soon after they marry, Joanie becomes pregnant. In response to his persistent writer's block, Bill acquires a job as a professor at the local college directly across the street from his home. With a secure stream of income in place, the couple anxiously awaits the birth of their child. But what is expected to be a lifetime of happiness, soon turns into a nightmare after their daughter, Nancy, is born.
There is a supernatural element to the book that may initially throw the reader off balance. Even though the subtitle states clearly that the protagonist is "haunted", Chiarelli's descriptions of the daily hauntings Bill endures are so frightening, one expects him to be harmed by the monster that is tormenting him in his home. But, as Bill tells the story of his life to his editor, Breanna, who is also the daughter of his late wife's best friend, a remarkably clear and realistic picture of Bill's difficult life emerges. It reveals his response to a family curse and the loss of the only woman he ever loved.
Chiarelli literally weaves the strands of this story together as he guides the reader through Bill's failed attempt to help a troubled student and his confession to Breanna about the decisions he made concerning his troubled wife. The author takes the reader on a ride back and forth through Bill's history, ending with the promise of a future that will not include fear or heartbreak. The unexpected twists in this story are both disturbing and awe inspiring; they display Chiarelli's talent in building suspense by giving readers just enough information to hold their interests until he is ready to drop the full weight of the truth at their feet. It is a skill that few writers possess. Chiarelli has mastered it.
Muckydum: The Story of a Haunted Man is an exceptional read. I highly recommend it.

Gear rental
Club Gear
Club gear is managed by the Quartermasters. Club members can borrow gear for free if they leave a deposit. A full VOC gear policy should be made available. Everyone is supposed to do a workhike before borrowing club gear, although exceptions are sometimes made for new members early in the year.
Club gear includes :
- Rock Climbing Gear
- Harnesses
- Ropes
- Climbing shoes
- Helmets
- Belay devices
- Back-country Ski Gear and Snow Sports
- Snowshoes
- Telemark skis
- Skins
- Poles
- Leather telemark boots
- Gaiters
- Shovels
- Avalanche tranceivers
- Miscellaneous
- Camping gear and backpacks
- Lots of books
Other Gear Rental
Mountain Equipment Co-op is probably the best source of rental equipment. More information can be found on their rentals page.
Gear Recomendation
Not having hundreds of dollars to spend on gear should not be used as an excuse for missing out on all the fun. The VOC has always been about doing more with less. In that spirit, here are a few ideas that will save you some money (and, best of all, they'll also save weight) :
- Stove : For full-on winter use nothing beats a good white-gas stove (MSR or similar). However, for summer trips there are much cheaper and much lighter alternatives. Consider building your own. There are plenty of designs out there. I've tested this one and it works great.
- Gore-tex is nice in really stormy weather. But for most trips, it's just too heavy and expensive. Consider a lighter-cheaper windbreaker. You get the added bonus of increased breathability. Cut three holes in a garbage bag and wear it like a vest to supplement your windbreaker if it gets rainy. No, this system won't keep you dry in a downpour, but who cares?
- Tents are heavy; why not leave them at home (or at the store)? Going for a one-night trip and the forecast looks good? Just grab your sleeping bag and mat and go. You'll be amazed at the refreshing feeling of fresh air as you doze off at night (as opposed to your partner's socks you'd be smelling if you had brought a tent). If it's bug season, you might want to rig up a bit of bug netting over your face.

May 2016
- Posted on May 3, 2016 by Editorial Team in News, Workplace Safety Every year, falls consistently account for the most fatalities in construction. More than 300 workers lost their lives in 2014 (according to preliminary BLS data), making falls the most common cause of death in the industry. "But I'm not on a skyscraper," you say. "I should be fine." Do you ever work on a ladder? Sit on a roof? Stand on scaffolding? If you're more than 4 feet above the ground, you are at risk....

One of the most overlooked opportunities for cost reduction is the management of product usage and waste. The existence of... Continue Reading

Hello friends! There's a new subscription box in town and it's called Glow Getter!
Glow Getter (http://www.glowgetter.net) is a seasonal subscription box that ships to your door quarterly as the seasons change. You get four boxes a year and each box contains six or more full-sized products.
Glow Getter is not your typical beauty box. In fact, it leans more towards being a lifestyle box because it features everything from beauty products to accessories to lifestyle and wellness items. Everything which is seasonally appropriate, of course!
This subscription costs $56.00 CAD per season which includes all taxes and shipping. While this is a Canadian subscription service, it is also available to those who are in the United States.
I was super excited to see this subscription box come to life. I am in a number of beauty groups with Natasha, Glow Getter's founder, so my anticipation was high with this one! I was very happy to see it in my mailbox!
The Spring Glow Getter box contains items from both Canada and the United States. It is a mix of beauty, skincare, body care, jewelry, lifestyle and wellness products. Whew, that was a mouthful! 🙂 Totally worth it because what a great mix for spring! Let's take a peek at what I received. There were eight products and a bonus item so we have a lot to go through today!
The first item in my box was a Coconut Cream Bath Bomb from Spell Craft Bath ($8.00 CAD). This is a full-sized bath bomb in the shape of a white heart. I'm definitely looking forward to trying this one out. This smells divine! But then again, I adore coconut scents… it reminds me of vacation! And pina coladas. OR my new fave drink that I discovered in Hawaii called a Lava Flow. Delish! 😉 These bath bombs claim to keep your skin smooth and hydrating because they contain the following oils: grapeseed, coconut and vitamin E. This looks like it's the perfect thing to use during the colder and drier months… especially here in Alberta! Please note that other subscribers may have received this product in the scent Pink Sands.
Next up is an item for your home. This hand poured Soy Candle in Garden Mint from Heirloom Candles ($5.00 CAD, 2 oz). It's so cute! It is not overly minty or overly floral but it is a good balance. I love this scent because it reminds me of my mint plants in my garden. I love keeping mint in my garden so that I can infuse it in my drinking water. The scent is so fresh! This candle will come in very handy when I try the bath bomb. Soothing, relaxing baths and candles are complimentary and go so great together!
The first beauty item I received was the Manna Kadar Paradise Blush ($25.00 CAD). If you can recall, I received this in my January ipsy and I already very much like it! (A swatch of this shade can also be found on the ipsy unboxing post.). It's a very nice pearlized pink blush that you can lightly put on your cheekbone or build up for more colour. It's very versatile in that manner. This is already in my vanity and in rotation so I may keep this one as a back up!
Next, let's talk skincare! I received a full-sized bottle of Delia Organics' Restore Treatment ($40.00 CAD, 30 ml). This is a very light and very quick absorbing facial oil. You don't need to use very much as a little goes a long way! I love that this is 100% natural and that it's fragrance free. This will appeal to a lot of people! It is said to soften fine lines and wrinkles and hydrate your skin… among a number of other things! I can definitely say that it does absorb very quickly and that it is not at all greasy. I am finding it very nice on my skin. I don't often use facial oils but this one has impressed me so I will continue to use it.
The wellness product in January was a Larabar in the Peanut Butter flavour ($3.00 CAD, 48 g). I have never tried this energy bar before but I've seen this around at Shoppers Drug Mart and my local grocery establishments so it's easy to get ahold of if you end up falling in love with it. I would be lying if I didn't say I was curious! I Plus, I adore peanut butter so I am happy I received this flavour! I will likely take this bar to work for those hunger emergencies during busy days where I am running from meeting to meeting. It doesn't happy every day but it does happen! Or I will try it before a workout. We'll see!
I love jewelry! So I was super happy to see that a Day and Co Jewelry Hand Stamped Bracelet ($24.00 CAD) was included in the Spring Box! Each bracelet is hand stamped with a different saying and were available in three metals: copper, aluminum and brass. The one I received was in brass and it says "Let Your Light Shine". So cute and so inspirational! It is very light and it does bend so if you're like me and have super small wrists, you can do a little bit of adjustments to make it fit so that it won't fall off. The fact that it came with a cleaning cloth is great, too. Can I just say that this is also a local brand from right here in Alberta? I love being able to support local businesses so I'm super happy to see one of them make it into the Glow Getter box!
I did receive another makeup product. The Skone Cosmetics Luxe Doubler Eye and Lip Pencil in Girlypink ($16.00 CAD) is a multi-purpose pencil! Lip liner, eyeliner, lipstick, eyeshadow… you name it, you can use it that way! But knowing my personal preference when it comes to pink shades, I will likely only use this on my lips. It's very rare that I use these bolder pinks on my eyes. Girlypink will work with a lot of my rose and berry lip colours.
I have used this next skin care product before and I really do love this product! The Vasanti Cosmetics BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator ($6.00 CAD, 20 g deluxe size) is an amazing exfoliating cleanser! I have used up one of these tubes before and I'm on my second one now. I'm glad that I now have a backup for what was my backup! 😉 At 20 g in size, this is the only non-full-sized product in this box but that's okay! In my experience, my last tube lasted a long, long time. A little goes a long way for sure. I find this to be such a gentle scrub that works and I found it to work well on my skin. This was already a big fave of mine so I was happy to see this. As much as I love being exposed to new products, I also love to see favorites, as well.
The last item I am going to write about is a bonus item in this box. It is another product from Skone Cosmetics and it is their Smudger Brush ($20.00 CAD). This brush is a lot smaller than my other smudger brushes but that's a good thing. This one looks like it will be great to use for smaller details such as applying or smudging eyeliner or for add some detail to the corners of your eyes. The bristles feels dense but are soft so that if you do use it on your eyes, you're not poking your eyes out with prickly bristles. I think I will really like this brush!
Oh wait! I am not quite done yet. Some of you may have noticed this in my Instagram teaser post but there is something pink in the middle of the box. It is shaped kinda like a diamond but I wasn't really sure what it was for. So I asked Natasha and it turns out that it serves multiple purposes. Not only does it help keep the box from getting crushed while it's on it's way to you, once you receive it, it can also be used in a variety of ways. You can flip it on its side and use it to keep your Beauty Blender clean or put a tea light underneath it and it becomes decorative.
I also love that these two tea recipe cards were included in the box. This is a great idea! I love teas myself so I will definitely be trying out these detox tea recipes.
And that, my friends, wraps up our unboxing the the Spring 2017 Glow Getter box today. The total value of this box, including the bonus, was $147.00 CAD which I think is fab! It is worth it for the amount I paid and I found the products to be of quality. I was super impressed with the variety you can find in this box! It really does feature a little bit of everything which is fab! I was super happy with this inaugural Spring 2017 box from Glow Getter that I am really looking forward to seeing what is in store for us for summer!
If you are interested in subscribing to Glow Getter, use the code glow5 to get $5 off! There are still a few spring boxes available so if you like what you saw in this post, jump to it! If you don't get the spring box, ,your first box will be a Welcome Box.
What was your favorite product from the Spring Glow Getter box?
Hope you are all having an amazing week! A new post will be up soon. 🙂
