First Snow Fall of 2017 in New York City:
We finally got some real snow in New York City. Maybe not major snow but definitely more than weather reports originally suggested. We ended up with a few inches but it wasn't the snow that was really the problem. I usually like when it snows but what really made the weather hard to bear was the cold. Temps wise, it was in the 20s but it felt like it was in the teens. It was cold enough that when I was walking around downtown Manhattan, I didn't really see many people out at all. I thought I'd post some pics of this since I rarely see downtown looking like this even on a Sunday morning :). The only time I've seen it even more quiet than this was when it was 0° out. You know that movie starring Will Smith, I am Legend? That's what it looked like to me when it was 0°. As to why I was out, I wanted to get a few more shots with the Canon EOS M5 loaner before I return it. These were all taken with the 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM lens by the way.
Speaking of, the EOS M5 handled the weather like a champ. Here I was in my ski pants with multiple layers on yet the camera had no issues. It was out around my neck braving the cold for the whole time that I was out, which was about six to seven hours. The battery was working fine as well. So, I did end up getting some more shots, especially when noon arrived, and more people came out to brave to cold. I'll post those in my EOS M5 review, which should be coming next. My apologies for it taking longer than usual. I wanted to get more use out of it to write up a more thorough review.
Anyway, I appreciate all of of you stopping by, and stay tuned for my review!

Writer/Director Robert Eggers' 'The Witch' built a significant buzz at the last Sundance Film Festival and I've been dying to see it ever since.
After a lengthy wait, the tale of occult horror set in the woodlands of colonial era New England is finally coming to theaters some time within the next year.
The trailer looks absolutely incredible.
That black goat is everything!

: The meatballs --- you will never forget the meatballs --- huge, pillowy soft and loaded with herbs and cheese, flavorful enough to do any Italian mama proud. They're offered as an appetizer that's generous enough for the table to share. Practice restraint because there's much savor at this beautifully appointed, casual café located next door to Il Mulino, the formal restaurant. Both are just off the Taj Mahal's casino, but despite proximity to the noisy gaming hall, both venues offer serenity that comes from professional service and the enjoyment of fine food. The two places share a kitchen, which is probably why, despite its more relaxed manners, Trattoria Il Mulino's prices are not all that different, but then neither is the quality or the generosity of the fare. The kitchen produces essentially simple, earthy dishes from Abruzzo, notable for flavors fresh and clean. Seafood salad is a veritable aquarium of cold shrimp, scallops, mussels, clam, calamari and octopus, lightly dressed with a little lemon and a few drops of quality extra virgin olive oil. Pastas are skillfully sauced; beef is robust. Desserts are few, but take delight in the two giant cannoli that arrive at the table bursting with creamy sweetened mascarpone and garnished with seasonal fruit. The wine list is a bit pricey but offers distinguished choices and is especially strong in Italian labels.
Enjoy a meal al fresco at these restaurants with patios.

Frozen's Big Competition: 5 Things to Know About 5 Seconds of Summer
A look at the boy band that almost kicked Disney powerhouse Frozen off the top of the music charts
Leave it to a bunch of boys to give the hit of the year a run for its money.
Though the Frozen soundtrack has been holding strong at the top of the charts, its golden position as No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart is being threatened by four unassuming lads from Down Under: the boy band 5 Seconds of Summer.
The band's four-song EP She Looks So Perfect sold 143,000 copies this week, just short of the Disney giant's 149,000 copies sold.
Still, it was a valiant effort and put them on the map. Here's a closer look at these photogenic Aussies:
1. They're teen phenoms.
The group consists of Luke Hemmings, 17, Michael Clifford, 18, Calum Hood, 18, and Ashton Irwin, 19. After meeting at school, Hemmings, Clifford and Hood formed a band, and they later found their drummer, Irwin, via Facebook.
2. They got their start on YouTube.
Theirs is a familiar story of Internet-bred stardom: The band's first brush with fame came when Hemmings began uploading videos to YouTube. Their game-changing cover? "Next 2 You" by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber, which quickly racked up thousands of views.
3. They're not just a "boy band."
While they have the good looks and stylishly mussed haircuts of your usual teen dream group, these boys have skill. They play their own instruments, don't dance and write their own material.
4. It hasn't been all screaming fans and private planes.
Their success has brought its share of haters. Irwin's car tires were slashed, and the boys "quickly found out who their real friends are," Irwin told Good Weekend.
5. They have some big-name fans.
When they were just starting out, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan were early supporters of the group, sharing 5 Seconds of Summer's music with their fans. And it's all come full circle: On Aug. 4, the Aussie boys will be joining One Direction again on their world tour! You can already feel the collective swooning.

by Doug Miller, SatisFacts
What residents want and don't want is often the answer to why they renew their lease or choose to move. It seems so simple, yet resident turnover rates can often be a challenge. So what is the magic ingredient? The answer could surprise you.
Doug Miller, founder and president of SatisFacts, the industry's resident satisfaction research authority, shares some powerful data and insight. Having worked with over one million units nationally, Doug has extensive experience and stats. Many of Doug's clients include NMHC top 50 firms.
Our research with residents from over one million apartments nationwide shows the majority of turnover is controllable and that office staff performance in delivering service plays the primary role in renewal decisions. Focusing on what really matters to residents drives satisfaction, retention and NOI. With move-outs costing $3,000-$6,000, controllable turnover cannot be overlooked. A 300 unit property reducing turnover 10% will grow NOI by $90,000-$180,000!
SatisFacts conducted an analysis to evaluate what has the strongest impact on renewal likelihood.
What do residents want?
Nothing impacts the renewal likelihood more than how service requests are handled. And the work order process begins and ends with the office, not maintenance, staff. How work orders are handled by the office and their communications with residents regarding such have a strong, and the strongest, relationship with retention.
The four items with the greatest impact on renewal likelihood, and seven of the top eight, relate to the office staff. Notable is that the top five items all rated as having up to a strong relationship with renewal likelihood; items 9-15 all related to bricks and mortar issues and all had a "moderate" relationship with likelihood. The implications are clear.
The top eight items, in rank order, are: promptly responding to calls, emails; office follow up on completed requests; office staff responsive, dependable; office staff courteous, professional; apartment condition, appearance; community safety; quality of maintenance work; speed of handling the request.
Residents might not notice a "job well done," but they certainly remember negative experiences. Thus, the goal must be to minimize dissatisfaction…and when a bad experience occurs, to rise to the occasion and deliver a "remarkable recovery."

Stone Foundation
By Pete Clemons
Nowadays, the music business is a very strange and fickle place. At one end of the spectrum you have the artists who gain instant, but relatively, short lived success that comes via the TV reality programs. And at the other end of the scale you have bands that plod on for many years, ploughing a furrow of their own, slowly growing and building a solid fan base.
And although this band has received little radio play or mainstream exposure, a Warwickshire based band have followed the latter path. And it was a path that the band was brave enough to take as they always believed it was the right one for them to take.
And now it seems that the courage of their convictions is beginning to bear fruit. After great dedication and a lot of hard work, Stone Foundation have, at long last, are crossing the brow of that hill. And the music world is beginning to take notice.
2017 has so far proved to be an incredible year for Stone Foundation. Their latest album, the critically acclaimed 'Street Rituals', was released during March. It comes two years on from the equally impressive 'A Life Unlimited'.
Since the release of 'Street Rituals' the band have a sold out gig at the Islington Assembly. Their single, 'Back in the Game' has topped the UK vinyl singles chart. The band has paid a return visit performed concerts in Japan. They are due to tour for the first time in Ireland. And a date at Glastonbury awaits them.
There is a song on the 'Street Rituals' album titled 'Love Revisited'. And when I first heard that track I distinctly remember thinking, how fitting a title it was. For me it kind of summed up the album as a whole. It was as if a whole style of music, that you rarely hear nowadays, was being completely revisited. And the music listening public at large seem to be enjoying it also.
Despite the song writing revolving around social issues it still manages to remain an optimistic listen.
The production talents of Paul Weller are indelibly stamped all over this album. He even performs on a track. However, and with all due respect to Paul, the success of this record is down to some strong song writing. It is this that has elevated Stone Foundation to the next level.
The album incorporates a diversity of musical styles. As with past Stone Foundation albums there is definitely a soulful direction with this music. But, to these ears at least, it also emphasizes more funk and R 'n' B influences than previously heard.
The band, formed at least a dozen years ago, comprises founder members Neil Jones (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Neil Sheasby (bass). In addition, and performing on the latest album, you have (deep breath) Phillip K. Ford (drums), Ian Arnold (Hammond organ, piano), Rob Newton (percussion), Paul Speare (baritone sax, tenor sax and flute), Gary Rollins (tenor saxophone, flute), Dave Boraston (trumpet and flugelhorn), Gareth John (trumpet), Anthony Gaylard (alto sax), Adam Stevens (baritone sax) and many others.
During their existence, Stone Foundation has regularly performed under their own steam, in small clubs. They have also being invited to support major bands, on the larger arena tours.
It has been in those smaller venues where I have seen the band several times. Always immaculately turned out they never fail to create a buzz. These foundations are well on the rise.

found it. if when using the app you do a search for the term general form it will bring you to this post. so what is not super convenient but it is possible
well we are discussing things ever wonder why the app doesn't capitalize the first word on sentences?
I'm doing voice to text through Android so I always thought that the auto correction and capitalization at cetera were part of Android maybe the app has something to do with it? I'm not sure. I'm just a database guy.

Thanks alot for this Jace.
One thing I just now click on each main heading namely SOCIAL/NEWS/TG RECORDS/TOURNAMENTS/INFO/MORE.
and none of those inform a sub menu or option to show "TG General Forum" is back!?
Should we not have under Social to see TG Forum.
If it was not for DataGod's activity I would have noted the forum is back.
Likewise other TG members could miss out on knowing / for that matter "seeing"
what engagement options are on offer.

On the navigation side:
- when I click under "TG RECORDS" , then "Score Review", then on the left hand side one will see the navigation bar summary to point "General Forum".
However a user do not expect a "General Forum" to be under "TG Records/Score Review" ?
At least that was not my expectation where to find the "menu navigation" link.
I also note the "General Forum" activity to be summarized on the right with "Score Review".
@Twingalaxies I think if I could read your mind, why you designed the links where they are now, is that
your expectation is that users will follow and create threads based upon score review or game activity
and expect easy switch navigation between the two?

Dash cams have become a big thing as of late especially in my line of work as a professional commercial truck driver and I know quite a few people that like to watch dash cam videos. So a thought occurred to me on a new forum to start. Keep in mind I am just now getting things set up and have a ways to go and a few addons to get and install but the basics are there. So I would like to invite everyone to come and check out my new site DashCam Vidz and let me know what you think. I am still working on it but I would love so feedback on what you would like to see or ways that I can improve. The videos that are posted are found on YouTube and eventually I will add videos that I have recorded on my dash cam. So come check it out and let me know what you think.

Humidifiers evaporate water to raise the relative humidity in a room. This is especially important in the winter, when the cold outdoor air lowers the humidity inside your home. Unfortunately, there may come a time when your humidifier stops working and the air becomes dry again. Whether it doesn't raise the humidity anymore or it won't turn on at all, there are several reasons why a humidifier won't work.
Lack of Power
See if there is power going to the humidifier. If the digital readout is blank, the motor isn't running and no other lights are on, there may not be adequate power. Check the power cable to make sure that it is still plugged into an outlet. If it's plugged in and still doesn't have power, check your circuit breaker to see if the humidifier tripped the breaker. Some higher-powered humidifiers trip circuits in homes with older wiring. If you're still not sure, connect a working appliance to the outlet, such as a lamp. If the lamp works, then you know there's a problem with the humidifier itself rather than the outlet. Bring it into an appliance repair shop to fix the problem.
Lack of Water
A humidifier adds humidity to a home's air by evaporating the water in its reservoir. If the humidity isn't rising with constant use of the humidifier, check the reservoir to see if it's empty. If it's empty, fill it with fresh tap water. Depending on the dryness of the air, the size of the reservoir and the type of humidifier, you may have to refill the reservoir several times each day. Make filling the humidifier a regular chore if you want to keep your home's air moist.
Low Humidity Settings
Check the settings on your humidifier. The settings allow you to choose the humidity threshold of the appliance. For instance, if you choose a humidity of 45 percent, the humidifier will turn off automatically once the relative humidity of the room hits this percentage. If your air is still dry once the threshold is hit, raise it using the settings buttons on your humidifier. Some humidifiers even give you the option of running the appliance all the time without a humidity threshold.
Old Filters
There may come a time when your humidifier is running, but the room's air stays dry. In this case, the problem may be the humidifier's filter. As a filter gets old, water doesn't pass through it as easily, hampering the abilities of the appliance. If your humidifier's water reservoir isn't emptying as fast as it used to, this is an indication of an old, dried-out filter. Consult the humidifier's manual to find out the exact type of filter you need. Purchase a new one and install it in the appliance to get your humidifier working properly again.

Geologists use radiometric dating to estimate how long ago rocks formed, and to infer the ages of fossils contained within those rocks.
How? The universe is full of naturally occurring radioactive elements. Radioactive atoms are inherently unstable; over time these radioactive "parent atoms" decay into stable "daughter atoms."
When molten rock cools, some radioactive atoms are trapped inside. Afterwards, they decay at a predictable rate.
So by measuring the quantity of unstable atoms left in a rock – and comparing it to the quantity of stable daughter atoms in the rock – we can estimate the time passed since that rock formed.
_ from "Understanding Evolution", University of California Museum of Paleontology
Parent Isotopes, Daughter Isotopes, and Half-Lives
Text beolow adapted from from Geology 101 – Introduction to Physical Geology, Wentachee Valley College
The dots in the cartoon below represent atoms of a parent isotope, decaying to its stable daughter product, through two half-lives.
At time zero in the diagram, which could represent the crystallization of minerals in a rock, there are 32 red dots.
After one half-life has passed, there are 16 red dots and 16 green dots.
After two half-lives have passed, there are 8 red dots and 24 green dots.
For Uranium-238 the half life is 4.5 billion years
The following graph illustrates radioactive decay of a fixed amount of an isotope.
You can see how the proportions of the isotopes from the cartoon above are graphed as percentages at half-lives 0, 1, and 2 below.
The following table lists a selection of isotope pairs that are used in making radiometric age determination.
Carbon-14 has a relatively short half-life, which makes it useful only for young, carbon-rich geologic materials, less than about 70,000 years old.
Igneous rocks and high-grade metamorphic rocks are the most likely to be entirely formed of minerals that crystallized when the rocks formed. As most fossils are found in clastic sedimentary rocks, which are made of weathered and eroded minerals and bits of rock of various ages, it is unlikely to be able to make an radiometric age determination of a rock in which a fossil is found.
The age of a rock containing fossils can usually be narrowed down by measuring the ages of metamorphic or igneous rocks in stratigraphic relation to it, such as a lava flow on top of a layer of sedimentary rock.

Many types of radiometric dating
Different forms of radio dating are used for samples of different ages: Here are a few common methods.
Uranium–lead – Dating from about 1 million years, to over 4.5 billion years ago.
Potassium–argon (K–Ar) – Dating minerals and rocks more than 100,000 years old
Carbon dating – Dating samples under 30,000 years old.

Hot topics: Reliable method or Circular reasoning?
Radiometric Dating and the Geological Time Scale: Circular Reasoning or Reliable Tools? by Andrew MacRae
Radioactive dating of rocks and fossils is often misunderstood, even by some scientists. It is not a circular process, and leads to ever-more-reliable data, supported from a number of different avenues. This excerpt offers some insight into the issue, follow the link for the entire article:
– The unfortunate part of the natural process of refinement of time scales is the appearance of circularity if people do not look at the source of the data carefully enough. Most commonly, this is characterized by oversimplified statements like: "The fossils date the rock, and the rock dates the fossils."
Even some geologists have stated this misconception (in slightly different words) in seemingly authoritative works (e.g., Rastall, 1956), so it is persistent, even if it is categorically wrong …
When a geologist collects a rock sample for radiometric age dating, or collects a fossil, there are independent constraints on the relative and numerical age of the resulting data. Stratigraphic position is an obvious one, but there are many others.
* There is no way for a geologist to choose what numerical value a radiometric date will yield, or what position a fossil will be found at in a stratigraphic section.
* Every piece of data collected like this is an independent check of what has been previously studied.
* The data are determined by the rocks, not by preconceived notions about what will be found.
* Every time a rock is picked up it is a test of the predictions made by the current understanding of the geological time scale.
The time scale is refined to reflect the relatively few and progressively smaller inconsistencies that are found. This is not circularity, it is the normal scientific process of refining one's understanding with new data. It happens in all sciences.
If an inconsistent data point is found, geologists ask the question: "Is this date wrong, or is it saying the current geological time scale is wrong?" In general, the former is more likely, because there is such a vast amount of data behind the current understanding of the time scale, and because every rock is not expected to preserve an isotopic system for millions of years.
However, this statistical likelihood is not assumed, it is tested, usually by using other methods (e.g., other radiometric dating methods or other types of fossils), by re-examining the inconsistent data in more detail, recollecting better quality samples, or running them in the lab again. Geologists search for an explanation of the inconsistency, and will not arbitrarily decide that, "because it conflicts, the data must be wrong."
If it is a small but significant inconsistency, it could indicate that the geological time scale requires a small revision. This happens regularly. The continued revision of the time scale as a result of new data demonstrates that geologists are willing to question it and change it. The geological time scale is far from dogma.
….Skeptics of conventional geology might think scientists would expect, or at least prefer, every date to be perfectly consistent with the current geological time scale, but realistically, this is not how science works. The age of a particular sample, and a particular geological time scale, only represents the current understanding, and science is a process of refinement of that understanding.
In support of this pattern, there is an unmistakable trend of smaller and smaller revisions of the time scale as the dataset gets larger and more precise (Harland et al. 1982, p.4-5). If something were seriously wrong with the current geologic time scale, one would expect inconsistencies to grow in number and severity, but they do not.

When I attended this year's Southern C Summit, I, along with 200+ others in attendance, had the privilege of hearing Nikki Bazzani from Pinterest present. It was great to be in the room with someone who could give answers from the source. Her presentation was about the art and science of Pinterest, and yes everyone, there is a true art and science to it.
Here is what she shared, and every business owner using Pinterest needs to take note of this! FYI, Pinterest is second largest search behind Google 😉
It's no surprise that every story is rooted in an idea. And every idea is a pin. Those pins are what helps us discover and ultimately do what we love.
Pinterest provides a wealth of content for anyone who is looking – the mom looking for new recipes, the marketer looking for an infographic, the bride looking for ideas for her wedding, the husband looking for birthday ideas for his wife. A good number of businesses have an audience on this platform, and they should with 150 million active monthly users pinning away.
But where do you start? How do you use Pinterest for your business, much less create that perfect pin that will capture the attention of the pinner scrolling through?
Knowing those few things, there is a psychology behind creating a pin, much like the psychology advertisers use in creating their ads and how you see them. Here are three principles to stick to.
Once you have your pin planned out, that's not the end of it. You have to nail it. Think of the pin as your piece de resistance. Ask yourself these eight questions…
Show lists and multi-products.
Instructions and How-tos – let the pinner know what they are getting.
Detailed descriptions – use all the space you can.
Text overlays – just be careful not to use too much.
Tasteful branding – use your branding, your logo, list your website.
Once you start using Pinterest for your business, there are a lot of opportunities for you to grow your brand there. For example, take advantage of group boards. Look at Tribes through TailWind (an AMAZING Pinterest management tool). Pin from brands you want to work with, pin to support small businesses.
Monica Lavin of Lavin Label, who had partnered with Pinterest, also shared her experience and some helpful tips on how to get the most out of this platform.
Here are some best practices for all of us to take –
Are you using Pinterest? If so, what are your success stories? Remember every idea is a pin. Those pins are what helps us discover and ultimately do what we love.

I have just learned of the recent passing of Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke (1953-2012), one of the world's foremost scholars of Western Esotericism. Aged 59, he passed away after a short battle with cancer last Wednesday, 29 August.
Born in the English cathedral city of Lincoln, he studied at both Bristol and Oxford before rising to academic notability during the 1980s, when he published a number of influential books focusing in on the history of Europe's occult traditions, at the time a largely neglected area of study. A prolific author, he continued putting together such tomes in more recent years, in particular focusing in on the role that Western Esoteric beliefs had on the growth and development of Nazism and Neo-Nazism in such texts as The Occult Roots of Nazism (1985), Hitler's Priestess (1998) and Black Sun (2002). Perhaps his most important book however remains The Western Esoteric Traditions: A Historical Introduction (1988), widely recognised as required reading for all those interested in this fascinating subject.
Goodrick-Clarke was also instrumental in the establishment of the University of Exeter's Centre for the Study of Esotericism (EXESESO), where he worked as a professor in recent years. He was also a formative figure in the creation of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE), founded in 2005, and which publishes an excellent academic journal, Aries: Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism. Goodrick-Clarke was perhaps the most influential scholar of Western Esoteric History of his generation, and his name will continue to be remembered alongside those of other greats in this field like Frances Yates (1899--1981). All of us involved in this area of research owe him a great debt.
More information on this sad news can be found at Sasha Chaitow's Phoenix Rising Academy page. Chaitow personally knew Goodrick-Clarke, having studied for her master's degree at EXESESO, thereby bringing a personal touch to her memoriam.

Most mixtapes are tied together with a cohesive theme, some on the topic of love for a special someone, others with fury for that bad day. Some mixtapes are lush with clever wordplay and focus on connections in the lyrics, titles, and hooks of songs. We make mixtapes to wake us up, to bang our head to at parties, to celebrate a change in season, to commemorate a break-up, or dance to while cleaning our house. I considered all these options while piecing together complex lists of tracks and sifting through records searching for songs that would convey a sought after message. Finally, while speaking to a friend about my dilemma, he offered a simple solution "People just want to listen to awesome music," he said, "put together a mixtape with new jams you enjoy and don't worry about the concept." So this mixtape is to you friends, treasure these thirteen tracks knowing that I've spent the past few weeks dancing in front of the air conditioner, lip-syncing on the bus to work, and vacuuming the house wearing only underpants to.
To those personal friends I share music with regularly and are away for the summer, I miss your presence and your concert update text messaging is appreciated, I look forward to many future iPod swaps, coffee house exchanges, and shout-out-loud new release celebrations. To those readers I haven't been fortunate enough to meet yet, if you enjoy Ca Va Cool and find yourself twisting and shouting to this bunch of tracks know that we've already made the first step to a super-best-friendship. So whether it's a bad day, a blossoming romance, or just a picnic in the sun, remember to spread the love and share, because sharing is caring. Without further ado, Ca Va Cool says cheers to friends, summertime, and awesome music.

Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project
About this project
As a utility, meeting the energy needs of our customers is what FortisBC does every day.
That's why when our customer Woodfibre LNG asked us if we could deliver natural gas to them, we began to explore how and proposed the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. And we also started talking with the community right away.
The proposed project will expand a portion of our existing natural gas transmission system, which was built in 1990 to serve Squamish, the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island.
It involves adding about 47 kilometres of new 24-inch pipe, beginning north of the Coquitlam watershed and ending at the proposed Woodfibre LNG site. Work will be finished in time for Woodfibre LNG's scheduled in-service date.
The proposed route
Generally, the new pipeline will follow the existing gas pipeline route to limit new impacts to the environment along the route.
In some cases, following the existing route entirely will not be possible. We will always try to minimize impact and respond to feedback.
Examples include:
- achieving the shortest possible route and the smallest overall footprint
- minimizing crossings of streams and rivers
- incorporating First Nations, landowner and stakeholder input
- avoiding known archaeological or heritage sites
- avoiding sensitive terrain and environmental areas
We are continuing to engage with stakeholders, communities and First Nations to refine the pipeline route to minimize impacts, while also being safe and practical.
Take a closer look at LNG
By providing Woodfibre LNG with natural gas, this will allow them to produce liquefied natural gas, also known as LNG. It's made from the same natural gas you use for cooking and heating in your home every day.
LNG is produced by cooling natural gas to -162 C, which transforms it into a colourless, non-toxic liquid that is much smaller in size. In this liquid state, it is stored and transported in double-walled insulated tanks.
It can then be used as a fuel for trucks and ships, or exported to communities overseas where it's converted to heat homes and businesses.
FortisBC has been working safely with LNG for more than 40 years, and travel throughout B.C. doing live demonstrations and presentations to explain what LNG is.
As part of these safety demonstrations, our team explains how LNG is made and how it interacts with air, water and soil.
Compressor stations
Compressor stations are one of the most important components of the natural gas transportation system. They perform the essential tasks of compressing the natural gas and regulating its pressure so it can flow through the system to our customers' homes and businesses.
To provide service to Woodfibre LNG, we considered a number of factors, including feedback from the public, the District of Squamish and the Squamish Nation during the environmental assessment processes.
After extensive efforts to address construction and operational impacts, we're looking to make changes to our project design that will also address feedback we've received from residents and First Nations communities. We'll continue to listen and respond as we move forward.
We would increase the size of the two new electric powered compressor units at the existing Eagle Mountain compressor station in Coquitlam. We will also reconfigure the station to accommodate this expansion within the existing footprint, minimizing the environmental and visual impacts of this work.
The horsepower of each electric powered compressor unit will increase from 20,500 horsepower to 26,000. Manufacturers of these units have modified the products they offer since we received our Environmental Assessment Certificate in 2016, resulting in the increased horsepower.
We have also proposed to build a new compression station in Squamish. The new compressor facility in Squamish will help keep the gas moving through our existing system as it makes its way to our customers in Squamish, Whistler, the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island.
We're proposing a new location for the Squamish compressor station at the Woodfibre LNG site. With this new proposed site, the compressor station would be more than seven kilometres away from the nearest residences. The Woodfibre LNG property is already an industrial site. Constructing the compressor station at this location would result in less disturbance to the surroundings than at a previously disturbed site like Mount Mulligan.
There are still a number of steps that we need to take to make sure this alternative location will work. These include detailed geotechnical investigations and regulatory approvals to make sure that a compressor station could be built at this site. Until we know the proposed site is feasible, we'll continue to advance our planning for both the Mt. Mulligan location and the new proposed site.
For both locations, we've modified the design of the station to reduce the number of compressor units and overall horsepower.
Rigorous environmental reviews and research
For more than five years, we've been meeting with local residents, community groups, First Nations, stakeholders, local government and the regulators to gather and incorporate feedback into our environmental assessment application.
On June 24, 2016, Squamish Nation Chiefs and Council voted to approve the project. On August 9, 2016, the provincial government issued an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the project.
In spring 2019, we began the process of developing the condition management plans that were included as part of the certificate. We're continuing to incorporate all of the conditions as we work on the detailed design of the project.
We will also continue engaging with Indigenous groups, local stakeholders and the community as the project moves forward.
Protecting the Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area
The 673-hectare Skwelwil'em Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area (WMA) plays an important ecological role and serves as habitat for wildlife.
Our existing system has been operating underneath the WMA since 1991 safely and without incident.
To access the Woodfibre LNG site, a segment of the proposed expanded pipeline section needs to be installed underneath the WMA. We are committed to operating responsibly and mitigating potential environmental impacts.
In response to public and First Nations input, FortisBC has proposed the following approach to installing the pipeline under the estuary:
- An underground tunnel would be built about 30 metres below the surface of the WMA. The new sections of pipeline will be installed within the tunnel.
- Trenchless construction would continue through the Monmouth Ridge Mountain. The exit point will be on the Woodfibre site.
This construction technique is similar to what was used to build the new Port Mann water main deep below the Fraser River.
Proposed amendments to the Environmental Assessment Certificate
We're continuing to review and fine tune the engineering design for the project. As part of the review process, we're ensuring that the latest best practices are followed, and incorporating community feedback and technical advancements.
As part of this work, we've determined changes to our approach that require amendments to the original Environmental Assessment Certificate. We'll continue to engage with Indigenous communities and other key stakeholders throughout the amendment process to ensure their feedback is considered.
We're proposing the following four amendments to the original Environmental Assessment Certificate:
Proposal #1: Stawamus reroute
We would reroute an eight-kilometre section of the proposed pipeline in the Stawamus Valley to incorporate feedback we received from Squamish Nation during consultation. The pipeline route would move from the west side to the east side of the Stawamus River and allow us to reduce impacts to vegetation and wildlife. The pipeline's size, capacity and operating pressure would remain the same.
Proposal #2: Squamish compressor station
We're proposing a new possible location for the Squamish compressor station at the Woodfibre LNG site, which is more than seven kilometres away from the nearest residences. This location would also minimize construction and operational impacts as it's a previously disturbed industrial site. Our evaluation of sites considered a number of factors, including community feedback.
There are still a number of steps that we need to take to ensure this alternative location will work. These include geotechnical investigation work and regulatory approvals. Until we know the proposed site is feasible, we'll continue to advance our planning for both the Mt. Mulligan location and this proposed site. For both locations, we've modified the design of the station to reduce the number of compressor units and overall horsepower.
Proposal #3: Eagle Mountain compressor station
We would increase the size of the two new electric powered compressor units at the existing Eagle Mountain compressor station in Coquitlam. We will also reconfigure the station to accommodate this expansion within the existing footprint, minimizing the environmental and visual impacts of this work.
The horsepower of each electric powered compressor unit will increase from 20,500 horsepower to 26,000. Manufacturers of these units have modified the products they offer since we received our Environmental Assessment Certificate in 2016, resulting in the increased horsepower.
Proposal #4: Three-kilometre pipeline twinning
We would build a twinned three-kilometre section of our existing pipeline in Coquitlam to add capacity and increase the reliability of our natural gas supply to Woodfibre LNG. The new 24-inch pipeline would run parallel to the existing 12-inch pipeline along the current right of way. While our existing pipeline is within the Coquitlam River Watershed, we're twinning this three-kilometre section outside of the watershed to minimize environmental impact.
Everyone who visits Squamish immediately appreciates the natural beauty of the area. FortisBC has taken this into consideration by planning safe methods of construction to minimize disruption to birds and wildlife. This project is about making our community stronger and sustainable – both environmentally and economically.Colin Geddes Tom Harris Cellular, Squamish

Upcoming proposed changes to require amendments to Environmental Assessment Certificate
As part of our work to refine planning, today FortisBC is introducing proposed changes to the project. These changes are based on ongoing engineering design and address anticipated impacts to the community during construction and operations. They also incorporate feedback we received from Indigenous and local communities. The proposed changes include:
- A new location for the Squamish compressor station, previously proposed for Mount Mulligan, at the Woodfibre LNG site;
- Rerouting an eight-kilometre section of the pipeline extension in Stawamus Valley to minimize impacts and reflect input from Squamish Nation;
- Increasing the size of the two new electric powered compressor units at the existing Eagle Mountain compressor station in Coquitlam, and reconfiguring the station to accommodate this expansion within the existing footprint;
- Constructing an additional three-kilometre section of pipeline adjacent to the existing pipeline, near the Eagle Mountain compressor station, to increase reliability of natural gas supply to Woodfibre LNG.
These changes will require amendments to the Environmental Assessment Certificate received in 2016, as well as approval from Squamish Nation.
You can learn more about these changes and provide feedback at upcoming information sessions in 2020. Details for these sessions will be confirmed in the weeks ahead.
Upcoming geotechnical work in Coquitlam
Beginning in early November, FortisBC will start carrying out geotechnical investigations for the project's facilities. This involves drilling narrow, vertical holes to learn more about the underground layers of soil and rock.
This early investigative work will be carried out in Coquitlam, at the site of our new FortisBC high voltage substation. The site of this new facility is adjacent to the existing BC Hydro Meridian Substation, and will eventually provide additional power to our existing Eagle Mountain compressor station.
We will ensure that the work meets environmental requirements, and we anticipate it will take approximately one week to complete. Geotechnical investigations will also take place in mid-November at the Eagle Mountain compressor station property and will take approximately three weeks to complete.
Upcoming geotechnical work within District of Squamish
In early November, we will be carrying out additional geotechnical investigations to fine-tune our plans. This includes work within the District of Squamish, including two locations along Industrial Way and Finch Drive. This work involves drilling narrow, vertical holes so we can learn more underground conditions.
As part of this work, temporary partial lane closures will be required on Industrial and Finch, near the Highway 99 intersection, to ensure the safety of the public and our contractors. Beginning at the start of next week, work will take approximately two days at each location and we anticipate finishing in early November.
One of our contractors will also conduct a field survey at locations along Finch Drive in early November. This will assist in our project planning and detailed engineering, and this work should be finished by mid-November.
Upcoming community engagement
As part of our engagement on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project, we'll be meeting this fall with community leaders and associations to understand their perspectives. Our initial focus will be on potential impacts related to workforce accommodation and construction. We will be engaging the broader community at public information sessions in early 2020
Geotechnical work begins on forest service roads in Indian River Valley
As our project planning continues, we are now starting to carry out geotechnical work along forest service roads in the Indian River Valley.
Geotechnical investigations involve drilling narrow, vertical holes so we can learn more about the soil and rock. Beginning this week, work will take place at various locations between the start of the Indian River forest service road and approximately three kilometres north of the Indian River – Hixon Creek forest service roads junction.
Environmental monitors will be onsite to make sure the work meets environmental requirements, and all work spaces will be carefully cleaned up once we have finished. Access may be restricted along these forest service roads, and work is anticipated to be finished by mid-October.
Upcoming geotechnical work on forest service roads in Indian River Valley
As we continue our project planning, we will be carrying out geotechnical work along forest service roads in the Indian River Valley during the summer months.
Geotechnical investigations involve drilling narrow, vertical holes so we can learn more about the soil and rock. Beginning in mid-July, work will take place between the start of the Indian River forest service road and approximately three kilometres north of the Indian River – Hixon Creek forest service roads junction.
Environmental monitors will be onsite to make sure the work meets environmental requirements, and all work spaces will be carefully cleaned up once we have finished. Access may be restricted along these forest service roads, and work is anticipated to be finished by mid-September.
Upcoming geotechnical work on private properties
We're continuing to fine-tune our engineering and design for the project, and beginning this week we will be carrying out geotechnical investigations. This involves drilling narrow, vertical holes to learn more about the underground layers of soil and rock.
This early investigative work will be carried out on private land at the BC Rail property and the Woodfibre LNG site. The information we gather will help us plan the pipeline tunnel underneath the Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area.
We will ensure that the work meets environmental requirements, and we anticipate it will take approximately three weeks to complete.
We are planning for additional geotechnical work that will take place at locations along the pipeline route in 2019, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
Squamish Nation approves economic benefit agreement
The Squamish Nation's decision to approve the economic agreement is a significant and positive milestone for FortisBC's Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project. This approval has been issued as part of the Squamish Nation's environmental approval process and FortisBC is proud to be a part of this negotiation, which is the first of its kind in Canada.
As part of its agreement with Squamish Nation, FortisBC is committed to delivering comprehensive economic benefits, including employment and training opportunities. In addition, we will be undertaking studies around improvements to energy efficiency and infrastructure location.

Squamish Community Office – Update
While our current phase of planning work is ongoing, we have reduced our presence and community office hours at our location on Cleveland Avenue. We value the feedback we receive from local stakeholders and residents, and we will be available by scheduling an appointment in advance. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Squamish Community office reopens
FortisBC and Woodfibre LNG celebrated the reopening of our Squamish Community Office on June 14. The event celebrated the continued support we have received from the local community, and will be open from Wednesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
FortisBC explains why trees were removed for safety during geotechnical investigations
Viviana, our community relations manager, addresses some of the geotechnical work that took place during the fall of 2016, about halfway between the Woodfibre LNG site and the Squamish Estuary. She summarizes the steps we took in advance of the clearing work that took place, as well as the steps we took to mitigate our impact to that area.
FortisBC completes geotechnical work on the Squamish dike
Spit Road re-opens to pedestrian and vehicle traffic now that FortisBC crews have completed geotechnical investigations along the Squamish dike.
The subsurface data collected over the past several weeks will help us properly manage tunnel construction underneath the Skwelwilem Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management area for the Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre Pipeline Project. Work was suspended when crews encountered a pocket of naturally occurring gases, and notified safety and regulatory authorities.
We appreciate the public's patience.
Woodfibre LNG authorized to continue with proposed LNG export facility
Woodfibre LNG Limited announce that they have secured approval to move forward with their LNG export facility, to be located near Squamish, BC.
This is a positive step for FortisBC's Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project. We will continue to work on design and permitting of the pipeline to serve Woodfibre's facility.
FortisBC's proposed Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre Gas Pipeline project is a 47-kilometre expansion to our existing Vancouver Island natural gas transmission system to deliver gas to the Woodfibre LNG facility in Squamish. Earlier this year the Eagle Mountain Gas Pipeline project received environmental approval from the Squamish First Nation and an Environmental Assessment Certificate from the provincial government.
We will continue our discussions with Indigenous groups, stakeholders, and the public as the project moves forward.
Our response to incident at Squamish Community Office
The safety of our employees and the public, and the security of our assets is FortisBC's number one priority.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, November 3rd, a small fire was intentionally set at our Community Office in Squamish. Thankfully, there were no injuries as a result of this incident. We are supporting Squamish Fire Rescue and Squamish RCMP as they continue their investigation.
Our Community Office has been a place of peaceful and constructive dialogue for more than two years. We know that this incident is not representative of the community of Squamish.
We are grateful to Squamish Fire Rescue and Squamish RCMP or their quick response to this incident.

Clinton grabs for power through executive orders
Phyllis Schlafly
By Phyllis Schlafly
Copley News Service
Faced with a
Republican Congress unwilling to grant him all the powers he
wants, Bill Clinton has unleashed a blizzard of executive
orders to grab new authority for the executive branch,
and make broad public policy changes and even restructure
our governmental system.
Executive orders
have a proper place in federal rule-making and in
implementing the routine business of the executive departments.
But Clinton has discovered that presidential executive
orders function in a "Never Never Land" of
almost unlimited power, and he is pressing the envelope to
move his agenda, both domestic and foreign.
Clinton advanced
three of his favorite goals when he issued executive order
(EO) 13107 on Dec. 10, 1998. He increased executive branch
authority, he moved America closer into the "web"
of treaties, which he promised in his address to the United
Nations on Sept. 22, 1997, and he rewarded the feminists who
are standing by him in his impeachment trial.
EO 13107, titled
"Implementation of Human Rights Treaties," sets up
an interagency working group, with representatives from
major federal departments, to implement our alleged
"obligations" under the many U.N. treaties on
human rights "to which the United States is now or may
become a party in the future."
Clinton's impudence
in presuming to implement treaties that the Senate has
refused to ratify is becoming characteristic. Congress had
to pass legislation last year to forbid him from using funds
to implement the Global Warming Treaty, which the Senate
won't ratify.
The first treaty
listed in EO 13107 is the International Covenanton Civil and
Political Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations in
1966, signed by Jimmy Carter in 1977, and ratified by the
Senate during George Bush's administration in 1992.
Aggressive implementation of this treaty can open up a can
of worms in regard to our First Amendment rights, criminal
law and unique system of federalism.
The treaty's
repeated references to the elimination of sex discrimination
are just what the radical feminists want in order to
"implement" their exotic judicial interpretations
of sex. The treaty's Article 23 even binds governments
"to ensure equality of rights and responsibilities of
spouses during marriage," one of the U.N.'s
"rights" to be monitored by Article 28's
"Human Rights Committee" on which the United
States may have only one out of 18 members.
Among the
unratified U.N. human rights treaties that could be
"implemented" under EO 13107 is the International
Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.
The Truman,
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush
administrations rejected this treaty because it refuses to
recognize one of the most fundamental American economic
rights, the right to own property.
This U.N. treaty
would bind us "to take steps," including
"legislative measures," to the "maximum"
of our resources in order to achieve "full
realization" of "adequate food, clothing and
housing" of everyone in the world. It would bind us
"to ensure an equitable distribution of world food
supplies in relation to need."
The unratified U.N.
Convention on the Rights of the Child would bring about
massive U.N. interference in family life, education, day
care, health care and standard of living. Article 43 sets up
a committee of 10 U.N. "experts" to monitor the
raising of children and our "progress" in
complying with the treaty's "obligations."
The U.N. Convention
on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against
Women would require us to follow U.N./feminist dictates
about "customs and practices," "social and
cultural patterns of conduct of men and women,"
"family education," and even revision of
The Clinton
administration has already started implementing this
unratified treaty through the project launched after the
1995 U.N. Conference on Women called "Bring Beijing
The term " executive
order" does not appear in the Constitution, but the
president's authority derives from his Article II, Section 3
power to "take care that the laws be faithfully
executed." The validity of particular executive
orders has often been questioned, but neither Congress
nor the Supreme Court has defined the extent of their power,
and courts have rarely invalidated or even reviewed EOs.
President Franklin
D. Roosevelt proclaimed a national emergency and issued
wide-reaching executive orders , notably his 1933
bank holiday and prohibition on private possession of gold,
but those orders were subsequently ratified by
Congress. The notorious EO 9066, under which some
Japanese-Americans were interned during World War II, was
subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court under FDR's war
In 1952, the U.S.
Supreme Court struck down Harry Truman's EO 10340 to seize
the nation's steel mills. In 1996, the Court of Appeals for
the D.C. Circuit invalidated Clinton's EO 12954, which
attempted to prohibit federal agencies from doing business
with companies that had permanently replaced strikers.
Clinton attempts to
insulate his executive orders against judicial
review. He included a clause in EO 13107 declaring that it
"does not impose any justiciable obligations on the executive
It's time to stop
Clinton's unprecedented use of executive orders to
implement ratified and unratified treaties. Our freedom and
independence are at stake.

There are few things nicer than going to see a show or a film you know little about and being bowled over.
This happened when I attended a preview screening of Sunshine On Leith at the Tyneside Cinema.
I should have known a lot about the film since I was due to interview director Dexter Fletcher afterwards in front of the late night audience.
This turned out to be an easy task. For one thing, Dexter Fletcher is the nicest of men. Moreover, Sunshine On Leith is one of the loveliest of films.
True, one audience member did say it had been a bit sweet for her. But for me it touched the same nerve as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Gregory's Girl, also low budget surprise hits that made me feel better about the world.
Surprisingly, since it features squaddies, Sunshine On Leith doesn't have Four Weddings-style swearing.
It does, however, have a lot of songs – and all are by The Proclaimers, Scottish twins Charlie and Craig Reid. This is, in fact, a musical rather of the ilk of Mamma Mia! – although more to my taste.
It starts with young Scots Davy and Ally (played by George MacKay and Kevin Guthrie) returning to their loved ones from a tour of Afghanistan where they have seen pals killed or maimed.
It's quite a bleak start. But then, as the lads stride jauntily home through Edinburgh, the music and the dancing begin. If it sounds cheesy, the plot and songs are tried and tested. Sunshine On Leith began as a play in 2007 by Scottish playwright Stephen Greenhorn. It was an enormous hit in Dundee.
The film adaptation, with Greenhorn's screenplay, was premiered at the Toronto Film Festival where it made seasoned critics smile. It opens on Friday and will warm a lot of hearts, not least of those who invested in it.
At the Tyneside, Dexter Fletcher asked everyone leaving the cinema: "Did you enjoy the film?"
He seemed a bit anxious. Understandable. A seasoned actor he may be, having starred as a child in Bugsy Malone, as a young man in Press Gang and as an adult in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but this was only his second job in the director's chair.
As he pointed out, his first effort, Wild Bill, a gritty drama set in London, was quite different. It was, though, successful enough for the producers of 'Sunshine' to call on the Cockney and send him north.
Asked about casting, Dexter said a director starts with his wish list. Marlon Brando being unavailable, he turned to seasoned character actors like Jane Horrocks and Peter Mullan and to talented youngsters who could sing and dance.
Mullan, who is also a respected director, had behaved with complete propriety as a professional actor should, said Dexter, while intimating that he had added a little polish, telling him: "I'll do it this way... then see what you think."
Horrocks, who demonstrated her vocal skills in Little Voice 15 years ago, is brilliant, as are all the youngsters. And if this film helps to give their careers lift off, it should do no harm for The Proclaimers.
Music historian Chris Phipps recalls that they were showcased as young lads on The Tube. He had booked them "against great opposition" from production staff who called them "unintelligible".
Well, they're big now. And the songs in the film are great.
Sunshine On Leith... if you're not a professional miserablist and fancy a movie to warm the cockles of your heart, see it. As I will - again!

Google recently announced the official launch of a new Google DocsAPI that allows developers to automate many of the tasks typically performed manually by users in the company's online office suite.
As Google details, the REST API was designed to help developers build workflow automation services for their users, build content management services and create bulk documents. By using the API, developers can also set up methods for controlling documents after they have been updated, and the API can also insert, delete, move, merge and format text, insert inline images and where
The typical use case here is invoicing, where you need to create similar documents regularly with constantly changing order numbers and line items based on information from third-party systems (or perhaps even a Google Sheet).
Zapier, Netflix and Mailchimp are some of the companies that developed solutions based on the new API during the preview period. Zapier integrated the Docs API into its own workflow automation tool to help its users create letters based on a template, while Netflix used it to create an internal tool to help its engineers collect data and automate their documentation workflow.

Make Money!
Turn your used and unwanted books, comic books, vintage & antique magazines, and vinyl records into cash! I'm a full-time university professor, but in my free time enjoy scouring my surroundings searching for collectible treasures.
Since I began selling various formats of media online in 2000, I quickly realized that I loved finding appreciative homes for the various collectibles I found. I also love my inventory; I read the books, comics and magazines, and love kicking back and listening to the records that sell before shipping them off to their new homes.
What I'm Buying
I purchase a wide variety of vintage and antique book, comic book, magazine and vinyl record collections.
I'm located near King of Prussia (PA), and since I have a full-time career (i.e., Professor at West Chester University) I mainly buy from people in my local area (Chester County & Montgomery County). However, if you have an amazing collection to sell I may travel further.
Here's a list of what I'm looking for:
- Vintage/Antique Signed and/or First Edition Fiction Books
- Vintage/Antique Non-Fiction Books
- Comic Books (primarily 1970s and earlier)
- Vintage/Antique Magazines
- Vinyl Records (everything from Classical to Hip Hop)
- Current Academic Textbooks (primarily published in the last 5 years)
What I Do Not Buy
- Books that have been wet or are moldy or smell of tobacco smoke
- Books without covers
- Books that are in poor condition relative to their age.
- All Encyclopedia sets
- Readers's Digest Condensed Books
- Older Editions of travel guides or other books that come out with new editions each year
- Dated political biography or current events
- Textbooks more than 5 years old
- Book club edition fiction
- Bestseller fiction
- Romance or Science Fiction (except vintage SciFi – paperback or hardcover)
- Newspapers
- Magazines published after 1979
Determining What to Sell
If you want to sell only a few items, those items preferably should be valued at $100 (on-line resale value) or more. If you want to sell many items from a collection, or an entire collection, there can be a wide range of values. As long as what you have fits into the shelves of my bookstores, I'll be happy to take everything I can afford off your hands!
If you have particularly valuable merchandise and want to get as much as you can for your items without having to go through all the trouble selling them yourself – I can help you with that as well. I've been selling on Ebay for over 16 years, and on Amazon for more than 10 years. When you entrust your items to me, I'll do my best to get you the most money than I can for what you have. Since I'll be working for a commission, it's in my best interests to sell your merchandise for the highest amount possible. Here are the steps in that process:
- After contacting me about the items you have, I'll email or mail you a Consignment Agreement to look over. If you agree to the terms we can set up a time to meet.
- I'll come to you and inspect the merchandise you wish to sell. I'll quickly do some research on the spot to see what your item, or similar items, have sold for in the past.
- With that information in mind, you'll decide what you want to sell, and what is the lowest amount you're willing to accept for the item(s).
- We'll then complete and sign the agreement together (in duplicate).
- I'll pack up your items, bring them home, do some more research, take a lot of pics, and put your items up for sale on Ebay and/or Amazon. I'll also email you links to the items' webpages.
- You'll be notified when your items sells. I'll deduct the final sale fees and the shipping costs from my percentage of the sale (as outlined our consignment agreement).
- Once the person who purchased your item receives it and is happy with it, I'll send you a check representing your cut. Sometimes, but very rarely, items are sent back. If that happens, and once the item has been returned safely, I'll provide the buyer a full refund and then list the item for sale again.
I sell almost everything through a "Buy it Now or Best Offer" format. However, sometimes items do far better if offered as an online auction. If that's the case, we'll discuss that option.
Here's the Consignment Agreement we'll need to complete before doing business together:
Helping Hands Books Merchandise on Consignment Agreement
This agreement dated_______ is between _______________________, the owner of the merchandise, and ________________________, the consignee, located at 6302 Sentinel Ridge, Norristown, PA 19403 (cell # 315-480-0890).

The consignee is responsible for the full value of all works damaged while in their possession or due to inadequate handling or shipping materials and procedures.
Signed, ____________________________, Date________, owner of merchandise
And _______________________________, Date_____ consignee.
Contacting Me and Setting Things Up
If you have things to sell that I'm looking for, you can either:
- Call me (Travis) at 315-480-0890 and leave me a message including what you're hoping to sell
- Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Either way, if you can send me pictures via text or email I'd really appreciate it.
If I like what I see, we can set up a time to meet so that I can look through your collection. Depending on what you have, the size of your collection, and how much money you want for it all, I may need to take pictures and notes, do some research, and then get back to you the following day with an offer. Otherwise we can negotiate on the spot.
I pay CASH!!!
I look forward to meeting you!

- Texas Health Harris Methodist Hurst – Euless – Bedford
- Texas Health Springwood
- Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine
- Richland Hospital
- Cooks Children

In our Opinion we know why Texas Health Springwood does not because of this statement:
"Saw the nurse practitioner more than the doctor(Cathal Grant),I told the doctor (Cathal Grant) on several occasions that Abilify was making me depressed and feeling worse, they continued my dosage and increased it even. At my lowest doctor(Cathal Grant), referred me to Springwood hospital, while my stay there, I realized that half the patients that were there were patients of Dr. Grant's. I changed doctors, and recommend the same."
In our opinion we should not forget what another patient said: "You don't have to be a good doctor in order to be a successful doctor. Cathal is proof of that. " enough said:
Want proof Dr. Cathal P. Grant MD, Bedford,Texas, is a danger to you and your family and in our opinion Dr. Cathal P. Grant MD, Bedford,Texas, will put money over their health read this article on the blog:

Danielle Nigh had never smoked a day in her life when she was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the age of 37. Lung cancer in non-smokers is becoming more of a concern.
Smoking is, by far, the leading cause of lung cancer, but American Cancer Society says about 15% of lung cancers develop in people who have never smoked. Two-thirds of non-smokers who get lung cancer are women.
The medical oncologist at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center who helped treat Danielle's Stage 4 lung cancer says her disease likely formed from the growth of abnormal genes in her lungs.
"These are called sporadic cases. Just like breast cancer can form in a woman with no family history, lung cancer can occur in non-smokers," explains Dr. Joseph Haggerty. "We're only now starting to discover why. It sounds just like mutations can occur in life, they can occur on a cellular level. That defect can lead to a proliferative advantage for that cell, allowing it to grow rapidly."
Other causes of lung cancer in non-smokers include:
- Radon – exposure to this radioactive gas in homes is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers
- Asbestos – exposure to this mineral, found in home insulation, can lead to mesothelioma, a cancer of the lung lining
- Secondhand smoke – non-smokers exposed to others' cigarette smoke increases their risk of developing lung cancer – up to 20-30% for people who live with smokers
- Heredity or genetic predisposition – those with family history of lung cancer are more likely to develop lung cancer and may benefit from risk assessment and genetic counseling
People who don't smoke don't usually look for – or even display – symptoms of lung cancer. Danielle said she didn't. According to research supported by the National Institutes of Health, lung cancer often is not detected in a non-smoker until it has spread to other parts of the body, resulting in symptoms related to the other tumor sites, such as fatigue or bone pain.
In Danielle's case, headaches and a seizure revealed the cancer had spread to her brain and then later her spine. Each time, she beat the disease.
If you or a loved one smoke, get help quitting: Call Adventist HealthCare's Health & Wellness Department at 1-800-542-5096 or the Maryland Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
