The Maine Home's Square Footage Is 1433'. No No No....How Many Bedrooms? - 01/11/08 01:19 PM

The experience of a noon meeting with the food, singing and informative talk is worth the effort  to partake of the meal and fellowship.  The Houlton Maine club is one of the more active in Rotary District 7810 and proud of the fund … (2 comments)

Maine Farming, Hard Work But In Your Blood...This Video Will Pull At Your Heart! - 01/06/08 12:56 PM
     Maine farming...difficult  work, long hours, little pay and getting harder and harder.  Dairy farming especially is the most grueling. Few days off unless you have coverage and a big family.  Struggles from small farming where your financial gain or total loss of that farm is completely dependent upon a slew of factors way way beyond your control. Poor weather, broken machinery during critical harvest time, health considerations as you get older, rising costs of operations and this country's cheap food policy.  This video says it is not your life but what you pass on...its the love of "family" and passing … (0 comments)

Reality Blogging...Activerain's Realty Bloggers Up Close And Personal Insights... - 01/06/08 11:12 AM
     Struck me this morning that there are alot of personal sharing blog entries being pecked out during this sesson of "group activerain".  Maybe its the new year and resolutions along with reflections that the holidays can make us do.  For some, maybe its the pending Visa, Discovery and Mastercard bills from an overspent christmas heading to our mailboxes. Or possibly its the deluge of reality television shows crazing the nation during the current writers strike. Popular because viewers can relate, connect and see similarities along parallel lines in their own life paths as the camera rolls and captures ordinary people … (0 comments)

If You Like The Game Tetris To Relax And Unwind, This Video Works Same Way! - 01/06/08 10:04 AM
     If you ever did an animation video you can really appreciate times one hundred how much effort this  tetris video (type in "original tetris game") made with real life "shapes". The movement, the sounds, lots of production time.  Did animation film projects at the University of Maine at Orono thirty years ago when making a knife appear to cut fruit on its own with no hands was entry level stuff.  I had a creative film partner and for our project on the fruit assignment, we were able to convince his room mate to be part of the talent one Saturday afternoon.

Average Movie Costs $40 Million To Produce..How Do Your Videos Shape Up? - 01/05/08 12:53 PM
     John Williams sound tracks, three camera shots on scene that take two minutes of the film but a day and a half to get in the can...Hollywood movies.  That detail makes your little hokey property video look kinda like the Charlie Brown christmas tree doesn't it?  But the viewer of the real estate video is not really doing it for fun and entertainment.  They do not tune in for escape, action, adventure or to cry over a lost romance. They want to buy..they don't like the old one picture and description though to make them decide to travel to look … (4 comments)

Heard A Talk At Rotary About Burrells Clipping Service In Houlton, Maine... - 01/03/08 08:55 PM
     Clipping service..you mean like hedge trimming, grass cutting? Nooo. News gathering for one private viewer.  You are a company making grape soda called Gapagrape.  You want to know everything written, broadcast, webcast, blogged, podcast and printed for advertising and propaganda about your company, Gapagrape.  You also want to read, absord and consider all the public relation pieces, advertising and even movies that show Tom Cruise holding a can of your competition Moxie.  How much did they pay to get him to take a swig of that Moxie after he saved the town from the runaway train on his way home … (2 comments)

Maine Has The Snow Alright, Now What's Up For Events Around Winter Wonderland? - 01/03/08 06:00 PM
     Something for everyone this winter in Maine! The snow is here...so what's up to take part in to make the most of the winter in the northeast?  Well, for starters, February 10th, the Owlsboro Transportation Museum has a Winter Transportation Festival.  Everything from a 1929 Model T snowmobile to other antique sleds, ice boats, snowplows, snow blowers, sleighs, sleds and toboggans.  Visit the Maine Snowmobile Association site too for activities around the state.  Or how about a Snodeo...no, not a misprint...the Rangely Snodeo January 24-26 has a dance, auction, family ride and cook out, radar speed runs and chili - chowder … (0 comments)

Northern Maine Winter Weather...Come Inside A Houlton Maine Snowstorm! - 01/03/08 09:27 AM
     If you grow up with sandy beaches of Florida or sunshine most of the time and never rains  in southern California as the song says, snow is a foreign unknown.  Sure, everyone knows Santa thrives in it at the North Pole, but what is it like to have a winter with snowfall? In Northern Maine, everyone from kids to the oldest folks in Aroostook County get excited and enjoy the beauty of the season.  Luckily, we have the equipment to move the white fulffy snow no matter how much we get at one time. There are not a zillion cars … (0 comments)

Your Brother Bill And His Sister June Talked Over The Holiday About Maine Real Estate For Sale.... - 01/02/08 09:08 PM
     Yes, the calandar says January 2nd, 2008  and the Christmas / New Years Holiday is behind us for another year.  But over the holiday lull when maybe the office phone rang a little less, and the market was a little less hectic, something else was happening.  Behind the scenes, at the homes of folks around Maine and the country, loved ones were together, or had long phone conversations and emails.  The subject varies but the common denominator was the same...real estate to buy or to sell.  Grandmother's lake cottage in Maine that is not used at all, suddenly is something … (1 comments)
