Why did the size of the U.S. economy increase by 3 percent on one day in mid-2013--or Ghana's balloon by 60 percent overnight in 2010? Why did the U.K. financial industry show its fastest expansion ever at the end of 2008--just as the world's financial system went into meltdown? And why was Greece's chief statistician charged with treason in 2013 for apparently doing nothing more than trying to accurately report the size of his country's economy? The answers to all these questions lie in the way we define and measure national economies around the world: Gross Domestic Product. This entertaining and informative book tells the story of GDP, making sense of a statistic that appears constantly in the news, business, and politics, and that seems to rule our lives--but that hardly anyone actually understands. Diane Coyle traces the history of this artificial, abstract, complex, but exceedingly important statistic from its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century precursors through its invention in the 1940s and its postwar golden age, and then through the Great Crash up to today. The reader learns why this standard measure of the size of a country's economy was invented, how it has changed over the decades, and what its strengths and weaknesses are. The book explains why even small changes in GDP can decide elections, influence major political decisions, and determine whether countries can keep borrowing or be thrown into recession. The book ends by making the case that GDP was a good measure for the twentieth century but is increasingly inappropriate for a twenty-first-century economy driven by innovation, services, and intangible goods.show more

Winner of the 2015 Bronze Medal in Economics, Axiom Business Book Awards One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Books of 2014 One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2014 One of FA-mag.com's Books of the Year 2014 One of "The Books Quartz Read" in 2014 One of Minnpost.com's 'Three (plus) books for the econ buff on your list' 2014 Longlisted for the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year 2014 "Coyle's book GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History ... provide[s] comprehensive and readable accounts of the history of national income and of the role of GDP in contemporary political and economic life."--David Throsby, Times Literary Supplement "GDP is, as Diane Coyle points out in her entertaining and informative GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History, a bodge, an ongoing argument."--John Lanchester, London Review of Books "[A] little charmer of a book ... GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History is just what the title promises... Cowperthwaite himself would nod in agreement over Ms. Coyle's informed discussion of what the GDP misses and how it misfires... Ms. Coyle--a graceful and witty writer, by the way--recounts familiar problems and adds some new ones... [E]xcellent."--James Grant, Wall Street Journal "Anyone who wants to know how GDP and the SNA have come to play such important roles in economic policy-making will gain from reading Coyle's book. As will anyone who wants to gain more understanding of the concept's strengths and weaknesses."--Nicholas Oulton, Science "Diane Coyle's new book, GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History, is a timely contribution to discussions of modern economic performance."--Arnold Kling, American "[E]xcellent."--Adam Creighton, The Australian "Diane Coyle's book is as good a simple guide as we are likely to see."--Samuel Brittan, Financial Times "Coyle does good work explicating a topic that few understand, even if it affects each of us daily. A pleasure for facts-and-numbers geeks, though accessibly written and full of meaningful real-world examples."--Kirkus Reviews "[S]mart and lucid... [S]hort but masterful."--Todd G. Buchholz, Finance & Development "[G]reat (and well-timed) new book."--Uri Friedman, The Atlantic "In a charming and accessible new book, Diane Coyle untangles the history, assumptions, challenges and shortcomings of this popular rhetorical device, which has become so central to policy debates around the world... Coyle's book is a good primer for the average citizen as well as the seasoned economist."--Adam Gurri, Umlaut "[I]t is interesting and important, particularly when it comes to the emphasis now given to GDP, and the inadequacies of this now time-honoured measurement of how our economies are doing... With clarity and precision, she explains its strengths and weaknesses."--Peter Day, BBC News Business "Diane Coyle has bravely attempted in a recent book to make the subject once more accessible, and even interesting."--John Kay, Financial Times "[T]his is as engaging a book about GDP as you could ever hope to read. It falls into that genre of books that are 'biographies of things'--be they histories of longitude, the number zero or the potato--and is both enlightening and entertaining."--Andrew Sawers, FS Focus "GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History is a fascinating 140-page book that I cannot recommend highly enough. This is simply the best book on GDP that I've ever seen."--John Mauldin "As a potted history of approaches to quantifying national output from the 18th century onward, GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History deserves high marks. It is particularly edifying to learn about the military motivation behind the initial attempts."--Martin S. Fridson, Financial Analysts Journal "The strongest part of the book charts the development of national accounting from the 17th century through to the creation of GDP itself and its literal and metaphorical rises and falls in the 20th and 21st centuries... This is lively and surprisingly readable stuff."--Eilis Lawlor, LSE Review of Books "Coyle has written an engaging, introductory to mid-level book on the GDP that makes sense of a statistic that hardly anyone actually understands... It does not require any training in economics, but it covers many topics that even professional economists would find beneficial, including an argument that GDP is an increasingly inappropriate measure for the 21st century."--Choice "[A] little charmer of a book."--Wall Street Journal (A Best Non-Fiction Book of 2014) "GDP is a thought-provoking account of how the gross domestic product statistic came to be so important... The book is a useful and timely contribution."--Louise Rawlings, Economic Record "Coyle is surely right when she says that GDP is not outmoded, despite all the problems. The people who use GDP need to understand what it is and what it isn't, and to know what are its strengths and weaknesses. They should read this invaluable and accessible guide."--Bill Allen, Business Economists "Coyle's account of the emergence and hegemony of GDP is a timely one, capturing in lucid historical detail the major conceptual weaknesses in the construction and use of GDP and the menu of alternative measures one might turn to."--Atiyab Sultan, Cambridge Humanities Review "Coyle takes the reader on a whistle-stop tour of the development workhorse of economic modeling and analysis... The book developed out of a talk by the author in 2011 and it retains the liveliness of a performance."--Central Banking Journal "Coyle's greatest achievement is to succinctly describe the history of the concept as it emerged in the 1940s as a result of wartime politics obsessed with measuring productive capacity in an economy."--Atiyab Sultan, Cambridge Humanities Review "Diane Coyle's eloquently written and accessible book provides a rich account of the history of GDP."--Johannes Hirata, International Review of Economicsshow more
Back cover copy
"Diane Coyle renders GDP accessible and introduces a much-needed historical perspective to the discourse of what we measure and why. A must-read for those interested in the far-reaching impact of GDP on the global economy, just as we seek ways to go beyond it."--Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development "Countries are judged by their success in producing GDP. But what is it and where do those numbers reported on television come from? Diane Coyle makes GDP come to life--we see its strengths and its fallibilities, and we learn to understand and respect both."--Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, 2003-2013 "This is an engaging and witty but also profoundly important book. Diane Coyle clearly and elegantly explains the fundamental difficulties of GDP--and how this headline figure is liable to radical change by apparently simple changes in method. She also provides a nice treatment of alternative proposals such as happiness surveys."--Harold James, author of "Making the European Monetary Union" "Well written, interesting, and useful, this book will appeal to many readers. I learned a lot from it."--Robert Hahn, University of Oxford "show more

Guides & Articles
- Performance ChipsSpeedo Calibrators and Tranny Controllers Let You Re-Engineer Your RideMany auto enthusiasts are driving around with speedometers registering too low a speed because they've mounted bigger tires on their vehicle. This effect occurs because larger tires have a greater overall circumference (distance around the outer edge) than smaller ones do. A tire with a larger circumference will cover more ground per revolution, and it will also make fewer revolutions in a mile than a tire of smaller diameter.
- Performance ChipsData Monitors and Loggers Provide Access to Important Drivetrain InfoIf you're tuning a modern engine, there's a lot of information you'll need to know in order to make educated adjustments and avoid trial-and-error guesses. Keeping track of air/fuel ratios, fuel pressures, boost pressures, and rpms is difficult at speed, and trying to commit them all to memory is almost impossible - assuming you even have readouts for these items. Maybe all you need to do is closely watch how temperatures and other things are affected by stop-and-go traffic. Or maybe you take your vehicle on track runs. If so, you already know splitting your attention between gauges and driving just causes you to lose focus on both. Because you can't take notes while driving, we offer a practical and effective solution for the tracking of engine data - recording it electronically for later playback.
- Performance ChipsWhy Should I Add a Throttle Controller?Modern cars and trucks are constantly evolving, mostly due to advancements in electronics. This allows vehicle systems previously controlled by mechanical hardware to be run by computers that have processing power undreamt of several short decades ago. When applied properly, this processing power can wring out higher levels of a vehicle's built-in power and responsiveness, without physically making any engine upgrades. One such system found on today's fuel-injected vehicles is electronic throttle control, commonly known as drive-by-wire.
- Performance ChipsAre Superchips Really Super?In today's ultra-competitive automotive world where fuel consumption, horsepower, and emissions are paramount, modern vehicles are controlled by computers in order to meet these opposite and conflicting demands. And presiding over the multitude of separate computers on any vehicle is the ECU (Engine Control Unit) - sometimes called the ECM (Engine Control Module).

Approximately 11 months ago we purchased a full system through the VC Store. First we went back and forth with the delivery date since it was not sent as they promised even though our credit card had been billed. Then the computer was broken so we went through the odyssey of sending it back and getting a replacement. That took another 6 weeks. After having the computer for 6 months we statred encountering problems with the computer freezing. Since then we have been trying to contact them for service since we paid extra money for their in home service warranty. We have not been able to contact themj inspite of numerous calls, messages, and e-mails.
I have made my last attempt via e-mail today and will now attemp to contact the consumer reporters on the different TV stations for their help.
Let this be a warning, DO NOT BUY FROM THE VC STORE..

Warsaw, Russian Empire
|February 8, 1992(aged 93)
|Years active
|Eugenia (née Wermus)
|Felicia Lumet (deceased), Sidney Lumet (deceased)
Baruch Lumet (Burech Lumet;[1] 16 September 1898 – 8 February 1992) was a Polish Jewish actor best known for his work in the Yiddish theatre.
Lumet was born in Warsaw, Russian Empire, and immigrated to the United States with his wife Eugenia Gitl Lumet (née Wermus) and daughter Felicia in 1922, where his son, film director Sidney Lumet (1924–2011) was born.
Although he appeared alongside his son in the film ...One Third of a Nation... in 1939, the elder Lumet made few film appearances, though he played character roles in two of Sidney's films from the 1960s, The Pawnbroker (1964), and The Group (1966). He also appeared in Woody Allen's comedy Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask, improbably cast as a bondage fetishist.
From 1953 to 1960, Lumet was the director of the Dallas Institute of Performing Arts and the Knox Street Theater in Dallas.[2] Among his students there were Jayne Mansfield and Tobe Hooper.

Apple farmer Kenny Barnwell walked into his orchard on Waters Road today. He pulled some apples out of a bin and shook his head.
This is the worst I have ever seen, Barnwell said.
Several square miles of Edneyville received about 2 inches of hail Tuesday evening. The hail damaged acres of apples, which were in the middle of being harvested. The hail bruised and gashed the apples, making them worth less money to the farmers.
(This) is a picked box of apples, and it is just scorched, Barnwell said about a box in his orchard.
Barnwell said he spoke with a representative for a local apple buyer today. He estimated the region lost 400 to 500 tractor-trailer loads of apples.
We had started picking in there, and would have been picking Romes in a the next few days, he said.
Barnwell received a call around 6 p.m. Tuesday and was told the region was getting significant hail. He raced up to the orchard.
I started to see the ice in the ditch and I thought, that cant be good, he said.
Farmers are assessing the damage in their orchards and what to do with the fruit. The apples will start rotting in a few days, and Barnwell said he needs to start picking soon.
These things need to be in the plant in the next four or five days, Barnwell said.
Apple farmer David Coston said his farm still has Romes, golden delicious, granny smiths and other varieties left to pick. He said he was not sure what we are going to do. Some of it we may harvest.
He said between 40 and 50 acres were damaged by the hail. Coston said he will have a hard time increasing the rate of harvest this time of year to get the fruit off the trees.
Its hard to increase the size of your crew when everyone else is picking, Coston said.
The harvest is devastating to farmers, North Carolina Cooperative Extension Area Agent Marvin Owings said. The region suffered through a major freeze last year, which destroyed most of the crop, and a large hail storm had already hit another area of the county a few months ago.
They have all this money tied up in the crop, and they have it destroyed literally one day before harvesting, Owings said. Its hard to imagine.
Barnwell took a more optimistic view of the situation.
If God decides he is going to bring down hail from the sky, there is nothing I can do, he said.
He planned to talk with his federal crop insurance agent Tuesday and determine if he was eligible for a settlement. The price difference between fresh apples and processed apples is 6 or 7 cents, which translates into $50 to $70 a box. The damaged fields contain 600 to 700 boxes for Barnwell.
The overall estimated for crop damage was not available.
'It tears your heart out'
By Jennifer Heaslip
Times-News Staff Writer
A normal day of picking and hauling apples turned ugly Tuesday as a late-season hail storm destroyed thousands of apples and several farmers hopes for a great season.
When apple farmer Eddie Lyda left his Clear Creek farm Tuesday afternoon, some of his best apples were hanging on the trees.
By the time he came back, they were all gone.
I had 48 different varieties of apples and it hit all of them, he said Tuesday evening. It turned a first-grade apple into a juice apple.
It tears your heart out.
The hail storm hit just before 5 p.m. in the Clear Creek and Edneyville areas of Henderson County. The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the area, as well as northern Polk County, Rutherford County, western Cleveland County and southern McDowell County, until 6 p.m.
The warning cautioned that a line of severe thunderstorms could produce penny-sized hail and winds in excess of 60 mph.
In the Clear Creek area, Lyda said the storm lasted about 25 minutes and left hail 4 inches deep.
His operation consists of five orchards on 85 acres, and his crop was maybe half picked. Bins of apples in the orchards were also damaged, the top layers of apples pummeled into juice.
It was a pretty wild hail storm. We still have ice in the ditches, Lyda said, adding that he has been hit by hail four of the last five years, but never this late in the year.
I had a lot of good apples left. It sorta ends my season pretty quick, he added. I guess well just start stripping them out for juice.
Lyda sells fresh fruit at a farmers market in Asheville, but will now begin gathering the battered apples for juice. He had planned to begin picking red delicious apples next week, and also had Fuji, cameo, Rome, golden delicious, Hoover, China gold and other varieties to get to.
Although he has insurance, the sixth-generation farmer said the real reward amid the hard work, long hours and unpredictable weather is a quality crop, which they had this year. Losing it in a matter of minutes puts a knot in your stomach.
Farmer Kenny Barnwell was at the packing house when he got the call from his father. Driving to his orchard in Edneyville, Barnwell said he saw ice in the ditch once he turned onto St. Pauls Church Road. By the time he got to Waters Road about two miles later, the road was green from all the leaves torn from the trees.
Who would have thought that on Sept. 30 it would hail? he said. This late you think youre past any chance of hail. And it was a severe storm.
His Fuji apples were cut in seven or eight places each, and he also had pink lady and some Rome apples on the trees.
Its just destroyed them, he said.
He said he was told the storm lasted 10 to 12 minutes. It hit in Edneyville then moved along Old Clear Creek Road toward Fruitland, although it looked like it didnt even rain at his orchards in Fruitland.
Barnwell, who has orchards throughout the county, said the hail didnt destroy a large percentage of his crop, but did ruin any prospect of making money. The Edneyville orchard was one of the last to pick and therefore one of the last chances to turn a profit.
Barnwell said he would assess the damage and consider turning the fruit in as juice apples, but the market isnt as good as it was earlier in the year for juice apples because farmers in the north have now started picking. Add in the shipping and fuel costs and it makes you wonder if its even worth it, he added.
Its a bad situation, agreed Liz Taylor, farm and crop insurance agent with Morrow Insurance Agency Inc. in Hendersonville. She received about six calls but predicted they would field more today since the storm hit just before the agencys 5 p.m. closing time Tuesday.
Theyre really just heartbroken, she added.

For 2012, I made a New Year's resolution that I was going to invest in more yield. The reason is that I'm not confident in our markets ability to trade off fundamentals in 2012 because every economic factor that drove that markets lower during the last 6 months is still present. Our politicians are still unable to agree on any substantial budget cuts, and several European leaders have stated that 2012 will be similar to 2011. Therefore, I expect volatility to remain high and for the direction of the markets to change with every headline out of Europe. To protect myself, and my gains, I've decided to invest in more yield while still investing in value stocks that I believe have the potential for large gains.
In 2011, approximately 40% of my portfolio consisted of yield but in 2012 my portfolio consists of more than 65% of my holdings having yield. However, one area that I refuse to sacrifice is the potential for performance and I've made a conscious effort to avoid what I call "dead money." To better explain, I've included one stock that I've chosen to purchase and the reasons for why I purchased the stock over the more popular dividend investments.
When deciding on new investments, I wanted to purchase stocks that I believe have the potential to rise and present very little risk of falling, which means maximum reward and minimum risk. Stocks such as this can be difficult to find, but what I've noticed over the last 6 months is that investors have chosen to invest in stocks that provide services or products in which we must buy regardless of the economy. Therefore I purchased Church & Dwight Company (NYSE:CHD), which returns solid growth and creates products that will not decline regardless of what occurs in Europe.
Church & Dwight develops and manufactures some of the most common household and personal products, such as Arm & Hammer, First Response, Nair, OxiClean, and Trojan. The company is most commonly likened to a very small Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG). The company doesn't have several billion-dollar brands, but it does have brands that are growing and are now a large part of consumers' daily lives.
I knew that I wanted to purchase shares in a company with services or products that would not fade regardless of the economy, and my first thought was Procter & Gamble, or even The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) or possibly Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL). However, I talked myself out of both CLX and CL very quickly. The Clorox Company has several brands, but I don't believe its brands are as necessary to the consumer. They are also easily replaceable with generics. In addition, it trades with a high valuation for a stock in this industry and a very high debt-to-assets ratio, which is dangerous in a volatile economy.
Colgate-Palmolive creates a product that everyone must use -- toothpaste -- but it does face significant competition and it doesn't have substantial brand diversification; plus, it possesses significant debt, much like CLX. With these problems in both CL and CLX it was very easy to decide against an investment in either company.
People may think I'm crazy for choosing CHD over PG, however, PG is the "dead money" I was trying to avoid. It trades with a yield of 3.16, and has traded in a very tight range over the last five years, with a return of only 3.4% during this time period. Therefore, it doesn't present the stock performance that I seek in an investment, despite revenue growth of nearly $2 billion over the last 12 months compared to 2010. With PG I worry about costs and its ability to grow beyond its current valuation with increased competition from companies such as CHD. Over the last 12 months its net income has declined by nearly $300 million along with its margins throughout 2011.
I believe that Church & Dwight is the best stock in the personal and household products industry for growth, value, and security in 2012 and beyond. It's merely a fraction the size of PG, but has several brands, such as Arm & Hammer, Trojan, and First Response, that I can't imagine declining, but only growing larger. Therefore I have included a few reasons that I chose to make a large investment in CHD, and why I believe its growing much larger, while PG is simply staying put!
First, let's look at what investors care about most, stock performance. CHD has a 5 year average annual return of nearly 20% which includes a 33% return over the last year. It has increased its dividend by 425% during the last 5 years, compared to PG's 71% increase in its dividend during the same period, which is still good. Therefore, investors have been pleased with this under-the-radar stock, but its growth has a catalyst of fundamental growth that I believe will return much larger gains in the coming years.
Church & Dwight's fundamental gains have been superb for a consumer staple company, and its outlook for future growth is even better than its previous performance. The company's grown in nearly every measurable area over the last five years, which includes a rise in profit and operating margins each year. During the last 12 months the company grew revenue 4% while growing net income 8% compared to 2010 and achieved record free cash flow. And in the same period the company improved its balance sheet by a remarkable margin, which includes a decline from a 23% debt-to-assets ratio to just 8%, during its last quarter. This improvement is giving the company the financing and leverage to make acquisitions and better position itself for future growth; which is a major accomplishment considering its debt-to-assets ratio was nearly 45% in 2006.
The company is well positioned for future growth, better than any other company within its industry, because of a strong balance sheet and improved fundamentals. The company achieved growth in all but one of its brands which is being led by its Arm & Hammer liquid detergent and its First Response brands. However, despite its growth the company's continues to be centralized and is yet to reach its full potential throughout the U.S. or in emerging markets.
The company plans to open a new facility in southern California during the first 6 months of 2012, which will improve its supply chain and increase both its margins and sales in several highly populated areas. In addition, the company recently purchased BATISTE Dry Hair, which returns 85% of its revenue from the U.K.; therefore, this acquisition should increase its position within the U.K. BATISTE is a fast growing company with a 90% compound average growth in net sales over the last four years, and most likely CHD will expand the BATISTE brand in the U.S.
I believe that CHD is the best in the industry with the most amount of upside. It's already returned large gains to investors, but with a market capitalization of just $6.5 billion there appears to be significant room to grow. The company's grown in just about every fundamental area and already returns the highest revenue per employee of any other CPG company. The possibilities seem limitless, and with recent acquisitions and aggressive expansion, I expect a substantial gain in 2012, and I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now we aren't talking about a company that's significantly competitive to PG's market share.
All fundamental data was obtained from Yahoo and Google Finance. All information regarding future plans and growth in previous years was obtained from earning reports.
Disclosure: I am long CHD.

and experience the benefits of membership!
Welcome to the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center
For 70 years, we have provided visitors and the greater Mystic community the opportunity to experience nature first hand, whether it be on the 10 miles of trails on land owned by the Denison Homestead and Avalonia Land Conservancy, in our natural history museum, our Nature Store, or as part of one of our many programs. The creation of the Coogan Farm Nature and Heritage Center in 2013 has added additional layers of education, history, and ecology to our offerings.
Our mission is to inspire an understanding of the natural world and ourselves as part of it – past, present and future. It is our hope that through DPNC and Coogan Farm that we will help our visitors foster a personal environmental ethic.

2016 shaping up to be an 'epic' year
DPNC's 70th year will be remembered as an epic period in the evolution of our organization as we integrate Coogan Farm into our operations and continue to implement our strategic plan: Vision 2020. We have set the bar high to transform our organization within and without. On April 25, 2016 – the same date the Pequotsepos Wildlife Sanctuary was originally incorporated in 1946 – the grand opening of the Avery House & Welcome Center and the Jules X Schneider Nature & Arts Barn launched a new era for us, and for the expanded communities we serve, just in time for the longer, warmer days of spring and summer.
The facilities, land and habitats of Coogan, including the Giving Garden, provide indoor/outdoor classrooms for a range of new and expanded programs and possibilities. We invite you to sample the walks, talks, and events we have planned for the coming season. To help manage a larger organization and workload, we are making shifts to build infrastructure and capacity in administrative processes and operations. We have created new positions, and revised and/or expanded existing jobs and Board committee roles. In Fall 2015, Davnet Schaffer was promoted to Associate Director (in addition to her role as head of our Nature Preschool). We recently welcomed new full-time staff members Jeremy Ladyga as director of development, and Cassandra Meyer-Ogren as manager of events, volunteers and membership.
With our busy spring-summer season now in full swing, we have an expanded staff of educators leading programs for all ages on site at DPNC/Coogan and travelling to schools, libraries, natural areas and other venues around the region. Many of our staff offer special skills that serve us well. For example, educator Sophia Luckenbill, in addition to her background in scientific research and teaching, also helps with grant writing. Nikki Boushee, who works at the front desk and in the store, is applying her artistic abilities to help create new exhibits. Seven of our education staff participated in the DEEP's spring training session for Wildlife Rehabilitators to help us address a need for enhanced capacity and expertise in handling wildlife emergencies. A number of our regular summer staff return for Summer Camp 2016 (some of our camp counselors have been with us for up to 15 years, a sure sign that they like the Nature Center and what we/they do and that we recognize the value the talent they bring to us!). In the Day's Best Of Reader's Choice Awards recognizing the best in eastern CT, we won the Best Preschool category and placed second in best summer camp and best animal rescue.!
We are building on a tradition of seven decades of excellence with the natural world as classroom, creating a bright future for the Nature Center and the region with an expanded greenway close to Mystic's urban center offering new opportunities for people to connect to nature. No one would have predicted how I-95 and Exit 90 would have changed the face of Mystic, bringing visitors here from near and far. The intersection of rural and urban landscapes and wild ecosystems (native plant and animal communities) is much more pronounced in Connecticut than it was 70 years ago, and through the years DPNC has helped to protect its unique character and sense of place.
We are still forging new partnerships with schools, volunteers, civic groups and organizations, working together to inspire and educate others to value nature's benefits and to protect nature for its own sake and ours. This includes sustainable agriculture (food production and education in our Giving Garden and new teaching kitchen), helping to foster a balance between satisfying human needs/feeding people and protecting water, land and climate resources as we adjust our framework and embrace our mission: to inspire an understanding of the natural world and our place in it, past, present and future." Stay tuned!

The Temple Theatre Is For Sale
The Temple Theatre is listed with Northen Maine Realty realtor Greg Miller.
Call Greg at 207-532-0900 or 207-694-2064 or email at email@example.com
Price: $350,000
The historic Market Square property: including the Temple Theatre, the Temple building, and the large parking lot which overlooks the Meduxnekeag River is available for purchase.
The theatre was fully renovated in 2002 from the basement up. Concessions, restrooms, theatres, carpeting, lighting, walls, counters, projection equipment, etc. were all renovated or replaced. Most of the "front of the house"(public space) equipment and facilities is in "excellent " condition. New screens, seating, speakers, details, and some projection and sound equipment were installed to make the theatre going experience enjoyable and professional.
In November of 2014 the theatre was completely converted to digital projection and sound with all new servers, speakers, projectors, sound, and more.
With the completion of the digital conversion the attendance and satisfaction of theatre goers has increased dramatically.
The theatre building is the heart of downtown Houlton's historic Market Square and with the parking lot has nearly 500 feet of frontage directly on the Square.
The Temple Theatre re-opened on November 1, 2002 to rave reviews and higher than expected attendance. The theatre has consistently exceeded projections and does well. As a two screen theatre we show the best of first run films. We can't "open" them all but if it was big in the world it will be big in Houlton. There is room to add one more screen in our "balcony" or "backstage" area.
In 2003 we purchased the adjacent former "Key Bank" parking lot. In 2004 we purchased the Masonic Temple building from our landlords; the Masonic Lodge. The building purchase includes the 2nd floor with over 6500 square feet of rental/lease office space including an owners/managers apartment. The 3rd floor of the Temple building is privately owned in condominium arrangement with the Masonic Temple Lodge Assoc. The purchases combined the parking lot, the building, and the theatre business into one large and significant property.
The 2nd floor office space is now fully leased. There is also a 7 room apartment occupied by our manager.
In 2008-09 we added 18" of insulation in our roof to conserve on heat, replaced one of our boilers with a brand new oil boiler, and in 2013 added a new state of the art wood pellet boiler cutting our heating costs by 50% and added new efficiency controls, added energy conservation applications throughout the building, and replaced the 3rd floor windows with new energy efficient windows.
The property extends to a point high above the Meduxnekeag River edge and has a commanding view of the river, the exciting new Houlton pedestrian bridge, the Riverfront Park, and River Walk project. There is great potential for further commercial or residential development on the property.

Pierre Bayle (French: [bɛl]; 18 November 1647 – 28 December 1706)[2] was a French philosopher and writer best known for his seminal work the Historical and Critical Dictionary,[2] published beginning in 1697.
Bayle was a Protestant. As a forerunner of the Encyclopedists and an advocate of the principle of the toleration of divergent beliefs, his works subsequently influenced the development of the Enlightenment.
Bayle was born at Carla-le-Comte[2] (later renamed Carla-Bayle in his honour), near Pamiers, Ariège, Occitanie, France. He was educated by his father, a Calvinist minister, and at an academy at Puylaurens. He afterwards entered a Jesuit college at Toulouse (Occitanie), and became a Roman Catholic a month later (1669). After seventeen months, he returned to Calvinism and fled to Geneva.
There he became acquainted with the teachings of René Descartes. He returned to France and went to Paris, where for some years he worked under the name of Bèle as a tutor for various families. In 1675 he was appointed to the chair of philosophy at the Protestant Academy of Sedan.[2] In 1681 the university at Sedan was suppressed by the government in action against Protestants.
Just before that event, Bayle had fled to the Dutch Republic, where he almost immediately was appointed professor of philosophy and history at the École Illustre in Rotterdam.[2] He taught for many years, but became embroiled in a long internal quarrel in the college. It resulted in Bayle being deprived of his chair in 1693.
Bayle remained in Rotterdam until his death on 28 December 1706.[2] He was buried there in the Waalse Kerk, where Jurieu would also be buried, seven years later.
At Rotterdam, Bayle published his famous Pensées diverses écrites à un docteur de Sorbonne à l'occasion de la Comète qui parut au mois de décembre 1680 in 1682, as well as his critique of Louis Maimbourg's work on the history of Calvinism. The reputation achieved by this critique stirred the envy of Pierre Jurieu, Bayle's Calvinist colleague of both Sedan and Rotterdam, who had written a book on the same subject.
Between 1684 and 1687, Bayle published his Nouvelles de la république des lettres, a journal of literary criticism. In 1686, Bayle published the first two volumes of Philosophical Commentary, an early plea for toleration in religious matters. This was followed by volumes three and four in 1687 and 1688.
In 1690 there appeared a work entitled Avis important aux refugies, which Jurieu attributed to Bayle, whom he attacked with great animosity. After losing his chair, Bayle engaged in the preparation of his massive Dictionnaire Historique et Critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary), which effectively constituted one of the first encyclopaedias (before the term had come into wide circulation) of ideas and their originators. In the Dictionary, Bayle expressed his view that much that was considered to be "truth" was actually just opinion, and that gullibility and stubbornness were prevalent. The Dictionary would remain an important scholarly work for several generations after its publication.[3]
The remaining years of Bayle's life were devoted to miscellaneous writings. In many cases, he was responding to criticisms made of his Dictionary.
Voltaire, in the prelude to his Poème sur le désastre de Lisbonne calls Bayle "le plus grand dialecticien qui ait jamais écrit", or the greatest dialectician to have ever written.
The Nouvelles de la république des lettres was the first thorough-going attempt to popularise literature, and it was eminently successful. His multi-volume Historical and Critical Dictionary constitutes Bayle's masterpiece. The English translation of The Dictionary, by Bayle's fellow Huguenot exile Pierre des Maizeaux, was identified by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson to be among the one hundred foundational texts to form the first collection of the Library of Congress.
Views on toleration[edit]
In his Dictionnaire historique and critique and Commentaire Philosophique, he advanced arguments for religious toleration.
Bayle rejected the use of scripture to justify coercion and violence: "One must transcribe almost the whole New Testament to collect all the Proofs it affords us of that Gentleness and Long-suffering, which constitute the distinguishing and essential Character of the Gospel." He did not regard toleration as a danger to the state, but to the contrary:
"If the Multiplicity of Religions prejudices the State, it proceeds from their not bearing with one another but on the contrary endeavouring each to crush and destroy the other by methods of Persecution. In a word, all the Mischief arises not from Toleration, but from the want of it."[4]
Richard Popkin has advanced the view that Pierre Bayle was a superskeptic who used the Historical and Critical Dictionary as a way of critiquing all prior known theories and philosophies. In Bayle's view, humans are inherently incapable of achieving true knowledge. Because of the limitations of human reason, we must adhere instead to our conscience alone. Bayle was critical of such rationalists as Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Malebranche and Leibniz.[5] Perhaps one of the most famous quotes of Bayle sums up his view of human intellect fairly well in Popkin's opinion:
"It [reason] is a guide that leads one astray; and philosophy can be compared to some powders that are so corrosive that, after they have eaten away the infected flesh of a wound, they then devour the living flesh, rot the bones, and penetrate to the very marrow. Philosophy at first refutes errors. But if it is not stopped at this point, it goes on to attack truths. And when it is left on its own, it goes so far that it no longer knows where it is and can find no stopping place." [5]

Mizzou junior righty Brett Graves (St. Charles, Missouri) was drafted in the third round of the 2014 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, continuing a long line of Mizzou starting pitchers drafted in the early rounds. Graves was drafted in the third round, pick 101 overall by the Oakland Athletics. He is the highest-drafted Tiger since Rob Zastryzny went in the second round in 2013. Since 2006, Mizzou has had five pitchers drafted in the top three rounds of the MLB Draft including three first-round picks.

First, they made me contact the manufacturer to get the iron fixed because it was on warranty. The manufacturer told me they don't deal with regular customers, they only work with beauty salons.
I called Nutrisaver again. Finally I got an answer that they will do a refund for my order. They gave a number to call for return instructions. I called the number, the representative told me to send the product to their address and include the invoice in the package, and that was it. That is what I did.
Two weeks after I sent the package there was still no refund. I contacted Nutrisaver via e-mail. They told me that they never received the package. I was battling with customer service for weeks.
Because I don't have a tracking number for the package, they refuse to give me a refund, and simply keep telling me that they never received the package.
I wish I could do more to get my money back, but because I trusted the company (and followed the return instructions), I sent the package without tracking number, I can't do anything. I just wanted to everyone to be aware of their fraudulent business practices.

Concerned Catholics of Vermont: Call for Synod
2015 Day at SMC
Concerned Catholics of Vermont
Hope From Our Pope
Designed by Concerned Catholics of Vermont @2013, a nonprofit and unaffiliated organization.
CCOVT is a small faith group hailing from across Vermont. We seek to promote and encourage thoughtful and respectful discussion within the larger Vermont Catholic community on the current state of our Church. We, faithful people of God, are the Catholic Church.
Who We Are
What We Believe
What We Hope For
Our faith is founded on holy scripture, in the precepts of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, in the message of love as demonstrated by our Savior, Jesus Christ, and in a Catholic Church, open to the world, that celebrates the responsible formation of personal conscience through community discernment and prayer.
We hope for the growth of our initiative among Vermont Catholics and for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to guide us in positive engagement with one another, lay, vowed religious, and clergy, to affect lasting inclusivity, justice, and continuing constructive dialog.
The Call for a Diocesan Synod
On Saturday, October 18, 2014, more than 50 Vermonters met at The Weston Priory to discuss the need for a Diocesan Synod in Vermont. To access the report of our gathering, click here.
There are synods at different levels of the Church. A gathering of bishops world wide is called a "
sanctus synodus
", holy synod or ecumenical council. Vatican II was such a holy synod. There can be national synods or plenary councils as in the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore (1885) that produced the famous Baltimore Catechism fondly remembered –if not memorized – by Catholics of a certain age. Finally there are Diocesan Synods.
The conduct of diocesan synods is spelled out in Canon Law (460-468). Among the most important aspects of the diocesan synod:
* the diocesan synod is a group of selected priests and other members of the Christian faithful of a particular church who offer assistance to the diocesan bishop for the good of the whole diocesan community.
* the following must be called to a diocesan synod and are obliged to participate in it:
diocesan officials, members of presbytery, some superiors of religious institutes and societies of apostolic life, lay members of the Christian faithful...chosen... in manner to be determined by the diocesan bishop.
* if the diocesan bishop has judged it opportune, he can invite observers to the diocesan synod other ministers or members of churches or ecclesial communities which are not in full communion with the Catholic Church.
* all proposed questions are subject to free discussion of the members during sessions of the synod.
Synods in the Diocese of Burlington
There has not been a synod in the diocese for fifty years. In 2004 Bishop Kenneth Angell indicated support for a synod and there was significant support in the presbyteral council. However, because Bishop Angell was about to retire, it was not possible to convoke a synod. After consideration, Bishop Matano, declined to convoke a synod. CCOVT believes that the arrival of a new bishop is an opportune time to review the needs and desires of Vermont Catholics through a synod in the Diocese of Burlington.
Our website address, www.gmcatholics.org, reflects our felt connection to our green mountain heritage.
Concerned Catholics of Vermont (CCOVT) continues to build a positive relationship with
Bishop Christopher Coyne
having now held two meetings with him. Our second and most recent meeting with the bishop was on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. Attending for CCOVT were Gary Chicoine, Nick Clifford, Frankie Dunleavey, and Dennis O'Brien, all members of the CCOVT Steering Committee.
Among many points discussed were the recurring themes Bishop Coyne has heard in his parish visits during his first year in Vermont, as well as resourcing and staffing in the diocesan offices, the formation of a new diocesan pastoral council, and CCOVT's continuing hope for a diocesan synod. A summary of our hour long meeting with Bishop Coyne can be found by
clicking here
Let us all continue our prayers for Bishop Coyne as he moves forward in his ministry here in the Diocese of Burlington.

I am willing to allow HEA to do what they contracted to do, but I will not wait for hours in the surgical waiting room. I Have had numerous outpatient surgeries and never had more than a 30 minute wait for any of them...except for these two disasterous incidents.
In my last email, I told HEA that if they do not contact me and schedule, I will file a chargeback on my credit card and notify my insurance company that the pre-op exam and surgery are not to be paid as the servies were not performed in a timely manner and I will have to seek surgery elsewhere with a more reputable firm.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 31, 2013POSTED: Thursday, January 31, 2013
According to hospital staff, the doctor wants his patients to arrive at least 2 hours before surgery. According to the doctors staff, the hospital has scheduling problems. So who is to blame for this insanity? I can't say for sure, but I suspect HEA.
Would I recommend HEA for your eye care? I would, but in doing so, I recommend you have a little talk with the doctor about how long you will have to wait. They do excellent work and their post-op procedures are above standard.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I do feel that I would not have been called by the doctor had I not called the HEA office or had not sent them two emails or posted my position here. It is my belief that the doctor was instructed by HEA officials to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
I will report back here AFTER the surgery with further updates, including my wait time. I hope they have narrowed their wait times to within acceptable limits.

text: Posted October 30, 2012 Actually he isn't....if you hold a team to 200 yards, have 6 sacks and generate 3 turnovers....you SHOULD win. The fact the Bears had the ball to make that last drive is an embarrassment to the STs and Offense of Carolina.....game should of been won much earlier. Only against Carolina would an opponent have an opportunity to win that game When his defense took the field who was winning? O ok. How many drives started with terribble field position because the staff allowed the bears to start from the 40? O ok. It's a team game. Defense has its job to do so does the offense and special teams. The defense and offense played well the defense were just the last ones stuck with picking up the bill and their check bounced.
