In Case you want to know more about Google's Spiders

Google uses what are called "Spiders" to crawl around the internet and look at every page. That's how come they can find so many things people are interested in, but unless you understand more about how they work (Google's pretty good at keeping their ways a secret), you may want to understand  more about how their "Spiders" work. This program will help you to do that.
 

The Winner is?

As some of you may already know, and especially those that follow EmpowerMaui on Twitter do know, I have been itching to give away a copy of a great DVD for building your own Solar and Wind energy.

It's been called the "Great Energy Book Give Away" and even though it's not actually a book, it's jam packed with useful information and plans. There are video tutorials and even where to get the parts to build the equipment.

As it turns out, one of my Twitter followers that signed up has been selected and I will be arranging to ship her a copy at no cost to her. What a deal! Most give-aways make you pay the shipping.

The winner is Teresa Martin-Pike of Pike Valley Farms in Kentucky. Their farm can be found on Facebook and here is a direct quote from their bio section "Pike Valley Farm is a Certified Organic, pastured and sustainable farm in the north end of Garrard County. You can call ahead and buy directly from the farm if you'd like! Think of us as your local farmer!"

So Congratulations Teresa and I'm so happy for you that you will be able to attend the Weston Price Foundation Conference this year. I attended the AcresUSA Conference last year and it was definitely worth the time and expense to get there from Hawaii.

Well I'm sure you use quite a bit of Energy on the Farm and I hope this helps. Now I wish you were one of the people I hope to give away to that is that is more directly related to Farming, but that's another give away.

Teresa is one of my followers on Twitter and goes under the Twitter name of pikevalleyfarm. Be sure to visit her and follow them on Twitter, Facebook and their website www.pikevalleyfarm.com.

Kipahulu Back-Side Organic Farm Tour

Aloha,

Tomorrow morning starts a full day of fun and learning combined.

It's been a lot of work coordinating all the various logistics involved to take 100 people, 4 Mini-vans, support vehicles, not to mention the Staff of Volunteers. Many thanks to the various Generous Grants and Sponsors to pull this off.

The willingness of the four Farms to open their "Homes" to this collection of interested strangers is amazing enough, but the lessons learned should help to spread even further the consciousness that our lives need to change for the better.

We plan to have video and pictures of the events to share.

The problem is the sites just can't be reproduced on film the way it feels to be there. The sounds, smells and tastes will definitely be missed out.

It's amazing how much just the smell of the plants and the Aina "land" add to the whole experience.

I know there will still be work involved for me as a volunteer and yet I look forward to taking my body and mind to a completely different surrounding.

After this, the Maui Aloha Aina Association, a 501c3 Non-Profit will then start the planning full steam ahead for the "Annual Body and Soil Health Conference" held on Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii in January.

For more on the Conference, please visit www.MauiGrown.org to read about it, plan your vacations around it and sign up for it. This years event is one not to be missed!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Follow me www.twitter.com/EmpowerMaui under my user name EmpowerMaui. Maybe I'll have coverage to give some updates during tomorrows trip.

I can't wait for the lunch of locally grown and produced foods for both Vegetarians and Non Vegetarians.
