Sharon and Chad Victims of Mean Prank
It happened on the way home from my band Sharon Buck & Dixon Road's gig at Moose Alley in Rangeley on Saturday night.
And it wasn't funny.
The police didn't think so either.

The Ice Storm of 2013 resulted into over 100,000 CMP and Bangor Hydro customers to be without power, many for more than a few days. Work crews from CMP and Bangor Hydro and many work crews from out of state have been working around the clock to restore the power.
There are a number on concerts coming to Maine in 2014 that are already scheduled, with more to be announced throughout the year. Some of the shows that will kick off the New Year are from Lyle Lovett at the Merrill Auditorium. The shows will be January 15th and 16th.
Thousands of Mainers are still without power. Check in for the latest Ice Storm of 2013 and list of emergency shelters:
As I was walking ShadowDog Christmas Eve around 6pm, I heard voices and look over to a near-by parking lot, it was five of the bucket trucks working the Augusta area regrouping and talking to dispatch. Late tonight, a friend of mine who works for CMP as 'essential personal' will be coming to my house to catch a few hours of sleep after working part of Christmas Day.
Mahala's Day Spa in Manchester offers so many different services from eyelashes and nails to facials and massages. I decided to try some Reflexology.
Reflexology is when the Licensed Massage Therapist finds the pressure points in the bottoms of your feet and uses them to stimulate the nerves throughout the entire body. I'm so glad I got to meet Claire Guy!
Waterville Mayor Karen Heck is asking the community to come out for a cash mob to boost donations to the Mid Maine Homeless Shelter at 10 this morning. Typically, a cash mob show up to support a local business but for this Mayor Heck said wants to see the same sort of idea but to support the Mid Maine Homeless Shelter and those who are living there.
CMP gets big credit from me on ice storm related stuff. They learned many lessons in the Ice Storm of 98. As of about 3am Dec 23, CMP was reporting a total of 226 outages in their total service area. CMP does a great job of letting us know where the outages are. Check out the CMP Outage Information page right here.
We're expecting an extended period of mixed precipitation throughout the weekend and with the temperatures below freezing we will likely be hit with extensive power outages.
Tomorrow will be my last day before vacation and I wanted to make sure I shared these memories with you. I will be back January 2, 2014.
What a year it has been! Adventures, laughter, tears, firsts and lasts...they all make up a very full and happy life that I am fortunate enough to have.
Here is a look back at my life in 2013. Counting down from 12-1...1 being the best moment!

Good Afternoon, Broncos fans! As one might have suspected, the Broncos' statistical ratings have taken something of a hit after their latest Foxboro debacle.
They're still ranked #1 overall according to Advanced Football Analytics, Football Outsiders, and PFR, but their lead in each site's metric has slimmed considerably.
Again, we can take comfort in that SRS says Denver has faced the toughest schedule to date, and the slate should ease up substantially.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Indy (6-3) joined Denver and Pittsburgh in the AFC's six-win club with a 40-24 disembowelment of the Giants (3-5).
Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes to give the Colts a 40-10 lead before the G-Men tacked on a pair of late scores.
Indy has a healthy two-game lead in the AFCS and are off next week before they host New England (who's also on bye) in an enormous Week 11 matchup.
Continue reading "The AFC is clearly this year's power conference"
According to the DP, Nate Irving's MRI on Monday showed a sprained MCL that may not end his season.
However, Irving's knee reportedly has significant swelling, and more tests are required.
Per Mike Klis, Denver plans to start either Lamin Barrow or Steven Johnson in his place.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! If anything should provide solace after yesterday's blowout, it's the Broncos' and Patriots' remaining schedules.
New England would appear to have a much tougher slate, with road games at Indy, Green Bay, San Diego, and the Jets.
They'll host Detroit, Miami, and Buffalo. Those are probably all wins, but necessarily easy matchups.
Nate Irving will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury to his right knee.
According to Mike Klis, the Broncos fear Irving's injury is serious.
Continue reading "Report: Nate Irving suffered potentially serious knee injury"
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
"Son," he said to me, "just remember, good fortune just means life is about to kick your ass."
The Broncos were at the top of all the power rankings last week. In fact, many pundits were already predicting they'd win it all.
So much for that nonsense. Let the Patriots have the praise.
Continue reading "Gut Reaction: Week 9 - Broncos @ Patriots"
Special teams mistakes, interceptions, and penalties doomed the Broncos (6-2) in a 43-21 (Game Book) beating at the hands of the host Patriots (7-2).
Peyton Manning threw a pair of touchdowns passes, but each of his two interceptions led to a short touchdown drive for New England.
Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, while his one pick occurred with the Pats already ahead by 20 points.
Continue reading "Final Score: Patriots 43, Broncos 21 (Updated)"
Kansas City (5-3) leapfrogged over San Diego (5-4) into second place in the AFCW by winning their third straight game.
The Chiefs easily handled the visiting Jets 24-10, handing the LOL worthy team their eighth consecutive loss.
Continue reading "Chargers mauled in Miami, passed in AFCW by Chiefs"
Inactives: Broncos - Montee Ball, Quinton Carter, Virgil Green, Steven Johnson, Kapri Bibbs, Ben Garland, Michael Schofield (Omar Bolden, Mitch Unrein, Cody Latimer will dress; perhaps Unrein will be used as an occasional fullback with Green out)
Patriots - DE Chandler Jones, CB Alfonzo Dennard, T Cameron Fleming, T Jordan Devey, WR Aaron Dobson, RB James White, DE Zach Moore
Enjoy the games, and Go Dolphins (versus San Diego) and Jets (at KC)!

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings

Monday, May 24, 2010
Just days after its controversial lead-safe rule took effect for homes and day-care centers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is weighing a similar mandate for commercial and public projects.
The agency published advance notice May 6 in the Federal Register of its "intention to regulate the renovation, repair, and painting of public and commercial buildings under section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)."
The little-publicized notice followed the implementation—and immediate tightening—of EPA's "Lead-safe Repair, Renovation and Painting Rule." That rule, implemented April 22, requires certification for contractors and businesses that disturb six or more square feet of interior paint (more for exterior paint) in renovating homes, schools and day-care centers built before 1978.
The rule had drawn fire from affected trade associations and a few industry suppliers, who said the measure unduly burdened contracting businesses and warned that compliance would drive up the cost of remodeling and repairs.
Further angering contractors, the EPA quickly eliminated the ability of homeowners to allow their contractors to opt out of the requirements. That ignited new opposition, this time from the American Architectural Manufacturing Association.
Nevertheless, the agency says it is ready to expand the measure to other sectors.
"This notice announces the commencement of proceedings to propose lead-safe work practices and their requirements for renovations on the exteriors of public and commercial buildings and to determine whether lead-based paint hazards are created by interior renovation, repair, and painting projects in public and commercial buildings," the notice said.
"For those renovations in the interiors of public and commercial buildings that create lead-based paint hazards, EPA will propose regulations to address these hazards."
EPA says the measure is likely to apply to:
• Building construction (North American Industrial Classification System [NAICS] code 236), e.g., commercial building construction, industrial building construction, commercial and institutional building construction, building finishing contractors, drywall and insulation contractors, painting and wallcovering contractors, finish carpentry contractors, and other building finishing contractors.
• Specialty trade contractors (NAICS code 238), e.g., plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, painting and wallcovering contractors, electrical contractors, finish-carpentry contractors, drywall and insulation contractors, siding contractors, tile and terrazzo contractors, glass and glazing contractors.
• Real estate (NAICS code 531), e.g., lessors of non-residential buildings and dwellings, non-residential property managers.
• Facilities support services (NAICS code 561210).
• Other general government support (NAICS code 921) e.g., general services departments, government, public property management services, government.
For more technical information on the measure, contact Hans Scheifele, National Program Chemicals Division, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20460–0001; (202) 564–3122; or email email@example.com.
For more general information, contact The TSCA-Hotline, ABVI—Goodwill, 422 South Clinton Ave., Rochester, NY 14620; (202) 554–1404; or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

It can add a lot to the cost of a paint job. I just completed a small 1500 sq. ft. house and with the cost of compliance and the clearance inspection it added $1400.00 to the cost of the job. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!
