High costs of biodiesel ingredients slows production at Bangor plant

Andrew Norton

The much celebrated and anticipated biodiesel plant in Bangor is currently running at 1/6 of their maximum capacity. The cost of purchasing and transporting the soybeans necessary to create biodiesel are currently making it prohibitive to eke out a profit. The plant does not want to completely shut down as "If we shut the doors, why would a customer come back to us that had started buying biodiesel from us", asked CEO John Oakley.

Celebrate National Ice Cream Month this July

Andrew Norton

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? Did you even know there was a National Ice Cream Month? I don't narrow down my devotion to ice cream for just one month. You can if you want, but I prefer to eat all flavors of ice cream all year long. Whether it's 80 or 30 out - it is always ice cream weather to me.

In honor of my love for ice cream I created another Squidoo page and devoted it to - Ice Cream.

On this page you will find - a Brief History of Ice Cream, possibly the easiest ice cream cake recipe you will ever see, cool video of an ice cream makers powered by a John Deere engine, how to make ice cream in a bag, and much more.

Grab an ice cream cone and check it out! If you don't already have ice cream in your freezer you will want some after reading this lens.

Plan your Michigan Vacation Getaway

Andrew Norton

I created yet another Squidoo lens. This one is to help folks plan their next Michigan Vacation Getaway. This page covers the question of "What Up North means to you", our great Upper Peninsula, where to find a great Michigan resort, 3,000 miles of beaches along the great lakes, Quick Michigan Getaways, and a whole lot more. Don't let summer pass you by without enjoying at least a small part of all that Michigan has to offer.

72 year old ex-Marine beats up would-be pickpocket

Andrew Norton

Awesome. As 72 year old ex-Marine Bill Barnes was scratching off a lottery ticket at a Grand Rapids convenience store a 27 year old would-be thief tried grabbing $300 in cash in Mr. Barnes' front pocket. Did I mention that in addition to being an ex-Marine that Mr. Barnes is also a former Gold Glove boxer and iron worker?

Jesse Daniel Rae (the pickpocket) must have thought that stealing money from Bill Barnes would be an easy feat. As soon as Barnes felt a hand in his pocket he grabbed Rae's wrist and rocketed off about six or seven punches before the store manager got involved.

Semper Fi, Mr. Barnes.
