(UPDATED COVERAGE, June 26) Canada's Fruit and Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation is in line to become the single entity providing dispute resolution services in Canada.
The DRC's probable role became clear on June 20, when the Canadian Parliament amended the Safe Food for Canadians Act, repealing the board of arbitration and providing for the ability to name a third party to deliver dispute resolution services in Canada, according to a news release from the Ottawa-based DRC.
"Thanks to strong industry support, it is likely DRC will be named as the single entity providing default standards and dispute resolution services to the industry in Canada," the release from the group said. DRC members should not expect to see any significant changes in the way they currently do business, according to the release.
DRC president and chief executive officer Fred Webber said in a statement that industry and government leaders have been working toward the single licensing system goal since the DRC was formed in 2000.
Key government officials in the U.S. and Canada saw the opportunity to strengthen the Canadian licensing/dispute resolution system while at the same time making trade across the border easier and safer through regulatory cooperation and harmonization, he said. "We hope those same broad minded principals will continue to guide us as we move from completing the single licensing system in Canada to the development of an insolvency tool like the PACA Trust in Canada."

Hi. I am considering installing soap dispensers in my bathrooms with widespread faucets (the type with three holes--two water handles and faucet in middle). I can't seem to find any photos to see how it would look. All the photos I see show the single hole faucet with the soap dispenser. I would love to get rid of the soap dispensers sitting on counter when I install my granite countertops. Wall mount dispensers won't work in my bathrooms. Pros and cons? Pictures would be great so I can see where to install them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, I thought you said "pics of toothbrushes with widespread legs" LOL |
:) I think that was another post with a silly towel holder! ;) |
Yeah, I couldn't believe what I was looking at :O But back on topic, did you do a Houzz search for the image you're wanting? I'd try that too. |
I had planned a centerset with a soap dispenser. the granite company cut widespread holes by mistake along with the soap dispenser hole. I am disappointed with the look, but I had my heart set on the granite piece and it was the last, so I kept it. (the granite company paid for the replacement faucet) it looks very crowded. maybe it's because I have a small round sink. I would suggest cutting a template out of cardboard to visualize the placement of the holes. |
Thanks for the photo. I think your sink looks fine. My sink will be larger and oval, so I think it will work. I just don't want the soap dispensers sitting on the counter. I also want to use the Never MT so I'm not refillilng them every other week. |
I had a 3 piece wideset and a soap dispenser in my powder room with an oval undermount sink. Thought it was a good idea at the time since I also didn't want a bottle on the counter either, but eventually a piece broke inside it and had to replace it with something different because the one that matched was no longer available. Had other issues with leaks. Going to redo that bathroom and it won't have that soap dispenser again. I still love the granite and config of the vanity and would just reface if not for that stupid hole. |

I just purchased a home in the Central Texas area and I have a problem with drainage on the side of my yard, commonly referred to as the dog run. I have standing water near the slabs holding my air conditioners. There is no problem with it getting near the foundation, but because it sits on the shady side, it never really dries up. I use this as a pathway to my back yard and a place to store my garbage can. Because of the texas limestone underneath my yard, I would like to avoid digging a trench to move the water away. Does someone have a cost-effective option? Can I just cover it with gravel and some crushed stone? Help!!!!!!!!!! |

Yep limestone can be a major pain in the butt. Can you drain the water away to the street or something. You probably can go with gravel or similiar. You could build french drain to help drain it away but that would mean digging so i don't know. You can always rent a machine from Home Depot or Lowes to do that job for you! :) |
I cannot imagine a solution that won't involve digging at least a little bit. Crushed rock does not absorb water; the water will still be there if you put rock down (and slightly higher, as the rock will displace it) though at least you won't get your feet wet. Maybe that wouldn't bother you, though if it was my foundation it would bug me. |
What is the water source? Is it gutter runoff or from the yard? If it is from the gutter, get extenders and move the water past the area to a lower spot. If it is from the yard, you could add a berm (dam) to redirect the water or a swale to redirect it. |
Currently, the water is from rain runoff. The house didn't come with gutters, so I am about to install those as well. |
Definitely do the gutters and extend the downspots as far away from the area as possible. See if that helps first, then if not, explore the other options, it may be a fill-in issue to get the water to flow away from that spot. |

We bought new construction in November here in N.C. and since then we've had pools of water in the yard on either side of our house and in the beds in front too. The landscaping contractor hired by the developer did the bare minimum to make the yards look OK to sell the homes--lay sod right on top of clay, no leveling or clean-up whatsoever, and no soil put down to hold it. In areas that are reasonably flat, the sod took, but drainage is terrible. After it rains, water stands about 1" deep in the low points of the grass and if you try to walk around the yard you sink into several inches of mud. We're already having a mosquito problem too. Additionally, there are bed areas that routinely flood when it rains. One is located directly in front of the house. There is a stand of mature cedar trees there which were untouched during construction due to "tree save" requirements by the country zoning commission. The house is at a slightly higher elevation than where the trees are in this front bed, so each time it rains, water collects in there like a pond, submerging the trunks of the cedars under a few inches of water for up to 24 hours. To the side of the house (behind the cedar bed) is a patch of sod-lawn that appears level, but is actually a few inches higher than the cedar bed, but lower than the next-door neighbor's yard a mere 15 feet away. When water comes out of their downspouts, it pours directly onto my flat area of lawn. Additionally, I have two downspouts emptying into the same area. The consequence is that this area is always wet, muddy, swampy, and nothing I plant in the bed close to the foundation survives. In fact, I discovered the problem at first when shrubs were showing symptoms of drowning despite drought and a broken irrigation system! Builder is responsible because warranty stipulates standing water that lasts more than 36 hours is his fault. He wants to come in and re-grade the lawn area to include a ditch that would run between my yard and the neighbor's yard. He calls this a "mowable slope," but I think it will be hard to mow and we do our own lawn care. He does not plan to re-grade the area of the tree bed, so I'm not sure how the water from that lowest point will even make it to the trench he plans to dig to the side of the house. Aside from not liking the look of a "V" shaped side yard, I'm worried about erosion. On the other side of the house where there is already more of a "V" configuration between our house and the next house, no grass will grow, and there's a canyon forming from the rain we've been having. I asked builder about this, and about how digging a trench will only make erosion problem bigger, but he says we have to "work harder" to prevent erosion on our nickel! We've heard a better option would be to install french drains around the problem areas and piped to the lowest point of the yard,ultimtely draining into the road below (house is built into side of a hill, with rear-entry garage/basement at ground level below ground level of front door). Who's right? Builder says surface drainage "never fails," drainage "expert" says surface drainage will cause erosion and unsightly shape to yard. Money is tight, builder doesn't want to pay for anything other than his regrading plan. Suggestions??? |
If the builder puts in the swale, there are better options than grass for erosion. You could treat it like a "rain garden," which is what we did. It has "pockets" where the water pools that are planted with native plants that thrive in these conditions. If you have any good sized rocks lying around, you could use them in the swale to slow the water and give it a waterfall effect. Plants are your best bet for the erosion since your builder won't put in the french drain. As for the pond behind the cedars, is there any way to raise the dirt around your foundation to run all that water away from the house? Water will always follow the path of least resistance, take a look at it from down slope in front of the cedars and see if a length of black drain pipe or narrow trench, like around a flower bed, would channel that water away. It might surprise you how much water a one inch deep, 5 inch wide trench would take away. NN |
It's best to start a new thread if you have a new question. |

So - Here's Where I'm At
I will admit, as I think I had before this, that I isolated myself from the dating scene for quite a while. I had two very major relationships end in a hurtful manor about 5 and 6 years ago. Sadly, that was something I wasn't really used to. For the most part, although hurt feelings may have been involved on either or both sides, up until then, I remained friends with most of my ex'es. It wasn't that one or the other of us did any wrong, it was more that we had grown apart and one of us (usually him unfortunately for me) would realize we just weren't right for each other.
So, since the last two men had really either "done me wrong" or hurt me more than I had ever been, I took a long, self-imposed break from trying to date. And, if you have read any of my blog, that is when I met Daddy J. That is when I was awakened to the submissive inside me. And weirdly, although it was something I had never experienced in that intensity before, I knew it was who I was meant to be.
I have tried to fight it plenty over the past 6 years, but I always come back to the fact that it is my inherent nature and I am so happy to have found myself. Even if it wasn't in the way I thought I would.
So recently, I threw myself back out there - and I thought I met someone who may be a great, compatible person. Things were going well for a while, but after a couple of months, he just stopped contacting me. I was a little hurt and confused, but more than anything, I just wanted an answer as to why. I have very rarely been put in the position where I didn't know where things may have gone wrong. I started to doubt even trying to put myself out there.
But, that was fleeting in a way. I then just rationalized with myself that he didn't feel about me the way I felt about him. Yes, I would love to have the "data" to tell me what I could change or do better, but that was never to try to get him back. That data would then be used to do what I do even better for the next guy who may be lucky enough to be with me.
Unfortunately, many people have taken my curiosity the wrong way. Some people think I am jealous that he has moved on. But, truthfully?! I don't want someone who doesn't want to be with me. Who wants to settle like that? And I actually respect him (only a little bit) to go after what it is he really wants. I would have thought he would have been mature enough to actually communicate with me that he didn't want me or he had met someone he wanted more. But, c'est la vie - he is who he is. And I liked him for that. And I wish him the best for where he goes next. Just one bit of advice? COMMUNICATE with the new "her" - or next time? YOU will be on the end that gets left behind ;)

I so know what you mean. My first relationship I've had since my divorce just went down in flames. And I needed to know why. He wants to move on, and I will. But that doesn't mean you don't owe me an honest conversation as to what went wrong.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI didn't even see flames! I just think he met someone he thinks is better for him - which - MORE power to him.
I just think everyone deserves an explanation! The worst part is that I used to love just talking to him or reading what he had to say online and since this whole mess? I actually had to unfollow him cause it just annoyed me that he was still talking to so many others, but couldn't say one word to me.
His loss in my opinion, cause I still could have remained a good friend. Lesson Learned.
Sorry you had to go through this too!
- AnonymousApril 5, 2012 at 12:00 AM
I have to say, not only did I not know that you had been dating someone, but I am pretty impressed at how classy you you have been about how shitty it looks like he treated you.
Not only are you not putting him on blast (like you should - hey please save the rest of us from this ass), but you sound like you don't even dislike him.
Most women, including myself, need to take a lesson or two, or twenty, from your class and maturity. - AnonymousApril 5, 2012 at 12:31 AM
Truthfully? You sound like you might be a little too self-confident for most men. I bet they are super intimidated by you and don't know how to handle you. Guys like me would think you wouldn't want us cause you don't really need us, ya know?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 15, 2012 at 3:55 AM
Disagree. As a man, I know that most men have low confidence and mask it by over-compensating. Keep being "too confident," you'll meet the right men that way.
I really like your blog, just found it tonight.

The Best B2B Growth Hacking Slide I Ever Saw
At Ad:Tech in Singapore a particularly insightful agency presented this slide:
The reason this slide is so great is that it humanizes the B2B sales target.
Sure, it's the company which buys your product in the end, but you have to sell it to a person. And that person does not have the same motivations you do.
So if you want to reach them you have to address their concerns in that order:
- Avoiding risk: Offer a free trial with no strings attached.
- Avoiding hassle: Make your contract easy to sign, or get rid of it.
- Gaining praise: Ensure you are treating your customer's colleagues well so they look good to their peers.
- Gaining power: Think – how can we make our product a career springboard for our customer?
- Having fun: Be a delight to work with. Meet for coffee. Bring donuts. Send a gift when deal is closed.
Once these are in place, then you can talk about how you're going to help their company be better, faster, more profitable, etc.
And when you find a few who get to this point, then your growth will start.

Kale Chips a Delicious Snack!
Would you and your kids eat a bowl of Kale? We have a great way to enjoy kale that is sure to be a hit at your house! Kale is a superfood that is extremely good for us but it does have a rather strong flavor that can take some getting used to. This also happens to be a fantastic recipe to get your kids in the kitchen as these kale chips are easy and fun to make.
• Bunch of kale
• Olive oil
• Sea Salt
• Garlic Powder (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and dry the kale leaves.
- Remove the leaves from their stem by holding the base of the stem and with your other hand slightly pinch and rub up the stem. Just like we do in our video
- Rip the kale into smaller bite size pieces.
- Place the kale on a baking sheet and pour on the olive oil.
- Be sure to really massage the oil into all the leaves or have your kids paint it on with a basting brush.
- Lightly sprinkle with Sea Salt. We also like to add a pinch of garlic powder.
- Spread the leaves around so that they aren't touching – you want a single spaced out layer on your baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 – 15 mins. Every oven is different so for your first batch keep a close eye on them so they don't start to burn.
- After they've cooled down enjoy your crispy Kale Chips!

I reserve little parts of my cold dead heart for the things I hold dear. Among them are puppies, the fact that man has been on the moon, and the existence of Lord of Rings-inspired folk metal. In a tiny, shameful corner next to my adolescence, I keep the Kingdom Hearts series – specifically, the hope for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3, because it's been a whole console generation since we've seen a Kingdom Hearts game on something that wasn't a handheld.
The announcement of an HD re-release in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix was about as irritating to me as it was exciting. The only reason I didn't get a PS3 when I made the jump to current gen consoles was because I was resolute in the belief that a third Kingdom Hearts game was A) not going to make it to the current generation and B) probably be released cross-platform anyway. In retrospect, my second idea wasn't exactly logically sound at the time, but Square Enix's cross-platform releases have become the norm as of Final Fantasy XIII. I was, however, definitely correct on the first one because all anyone is getting in lieu of the third installment is… an HD re-release.
This isn't to say that the existence of the re-release is a terrible choice. In fact, it's the perfectly logical thing to do when your franchise has been missing in action for almost seven years. However frightening it may seem, there is an entire generation of gamers who have only seen spin-offs of the series and an HD remake would be the perfect way to get the game into the public eye once again as well as grab any stragglers who failed to get on the boat the first time around. HD remakes have proven to be a boon for some series, like Sly Cooper; after the successful release of the Sly Collection, Thieves in Time, the four installment of the series, was released after an almost seven year lapse. On the other side of the coin, the critical and sales success of The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection has done nothing to speed up the release of the The Last Guardian, which has all but turned to vaporware.
The only problem with HD 1.5 Remix is that, aside from being on the PS3 and having some quality-of-life alterations to gameplay, it only includes the original Kingdom Hearts in "Final Mix" form and the somewhat shoddy PS2 adaptation of Chain of Memories. These offerings are a little scant in comparison to HD remakes like the ones for Devil May Cry, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper, all of which included their respective trilogies in their entirety. HD 1.5 Remix will also include cutscenes from 358/2 Days on the DS in the form of a theater mode, but the fact that it isn't included as a playable game is as disappointing as it is telling of the kind of complexity that the series has fallen into that it needs (unplayable!) supplementary material to make any sense of itself.
Regardless of what is (or isn't) included in HD 1.5 Remix, I have no doubt in my mind that Kingdom Hearts fans, as ravenous/starved for meaningful content as they are, will willingly put down the cash for a copy, if only to revisit old haunts and refresh their fading memories and I'd be an equally willing participant if I owned a PS3, especially if it meant supporting a possible future release of Kingdom Hearts 3. Sometimes I think about the probable existence (or lack thereof) of fans who will actually die, as in leave from the mortal plane forever, before the series (or any series, really) will be properly finished and that is pretty sad.

I'm throwing this one out there because many of us live in areas which have lots of homes for sale, and little strip malls with the store fronts boarded up.
What kind of future will this sort of neighborhood have? A study written about in the New York Times opinion section is worth reading, to see, if you choose to sell your home, what market it might appeal to.....or if you are looking to buy a house in such a neighborhood, what value you can expect it to hold in the near future. Here is the link. Tell me what you think. Expensive homes moving into the center city? hmmmmm, I see the Chicago bungalow becoming more fashionable..... |

Follow-Up Postings:
These articles always approach housing choice as though it is in a vacuum where only commute times matter. What I never see mentioned is the issue of quality public schools. In your average American city with three rings of suburbs, fading into a ring of exurbs/bedroom communities, one of the most important factors in housing choice, after price, is the schools. Unfortunately, the schools in the city center often leave a lot to be desired. Most cities already have those central historic neighborhoods that house the attorneys and college professors . . . who send their kids to private schools. Then there are the older neighborhoods that have already gone so downhill that absent a huge influx of bold renovators will remain as they are . . . and will still require private schools. So you get a great group of people renovating those houses and either not having kids, paying for private schools, or moving out when the kids hit school age. So that leaves the average middle class family with the same choice it has always had: where can I get the biggest bang (house choice + school quality) for my housing dollar. They may move one ring in, but they're not going to move their families into an inferior school district, no matter how green it is. |
True jakabedy. I read the link ML, and thank you for posting it. That is one man's (I hope, I didn't read the byline) opinion. But who knows what will happen in 10 years. They could develop a new fuel that would make commuting cheaper. People may not even go to central offices in 10-15 years, but do most of their work from home. But the bottom line for most people is schools, like jakabedy said. I am not even in a burb of Dallas, but to move closer to DFW, I'd have to move to the far north end to get into a burb with a decent school district, and even then I don't know if we could afford it. I'd have to trade my house on an acre for a tiny starter home in a run-down neighborhood to buy for the same money I could sell for. Dh's gas is paid for by the company, and they require an at home office, so the commute isn't an issue for us. It is schools, safe neighborhood, and good resale. |

The Pulp Magazines Project is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the study and preservation of one of the twentieth century's most influential literary & artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The Project also provides information on the history of this important but long neglected medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists, and their publishers.
Comic book writer Harvey Pekar, known for the American Splendor series, is reported by The News-Herald as receiving honors from the Cleveland Public Library and the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library System. Apparently the American Library Association has a United for Libraries division which named the branch in Cleveland Heights a Literary Landmark due to its connections with Pekar.
Both libraries are part of the CLEVNET consortium that stretches along the south shore of Lake Erie in Northern Ohio.
For decades, "X-Men" author Chris Claremont kept handwritten notes about characters such as Wolverine and Magneto in dozens of boxes in the closet and basement of his Brooklyn apartment – as well as his mother-in-law's house.
Perhaps not many outside of the comics fanboy community would consider this ephemera worthy of preservation, since even Mr. Claremont's wife wanted to "get the crap out of the house," he said. But Columbia University's libraries deemed the journals, fan mail and correspondence important enough to be part of its archives.
[Thanks Andrew!]
As the decades pass, new generations of people who grew up reading and loving comics reach a point where they want to revisit something they enjoyed when they were young, and finally possess the means to acquire it, said Michael Zapcic. A sort of living comic book encyclopedia who appears on AMC show Comic Book Men, Zapcic helps run Kevin Smith's store Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, where he evaluates prized possessions that customers are trying to unload.
New SLIM Comic Takes Librarians into Metaspace
SLIM is proud to unveil a marketing resource aimed at generating newfound excitement for librarianship and increasing the awareness of the many opportunities that an MLS degree can provide. From the same team that created Library of the Living Dead and Monster Clash, Supreme Librarians in Metaspace is a promotional comic that highlights the many facets of librarianship in a quirky, tongue-in-cheek manner. We hope that this resource will encourage prospective and current SLIM students, alumni, and librarians around the world to take a look at the profession in a new light. And maybe have a laugh or two while doing it. You can view the comic here.

You look gorgeous as always!
I have a little problem with your blog. It isn't only today but is often the case. It loads super super slow. Maybe it is because you have to many posts per page? I just wanted to let you know as I had to wait 2 min before it was fully loaded.. -
Oh my gosh! Sooo cutee!! You are the one who makes the day brighter, I think

you look like a teenage girl , so cute
absolutely amazing!!!! :-*
I love this outfit!! Beautiful spring colors and those boots are out of site!! I wish I could wear them, but alas I am built like a tree at six one and would fall over. Alisia | Some Writers
So pretty! I love your style. x
You always wear the best shoes! What I would give to raid your shoe closet…
Those shoes are fab!
I love the necklace, it`s radiates summer
Color, color, color! Those necklaces are just too fun!
You look so pretty and bright! I love it!

Dear Dulce, have you decided to make me crazy after you ….????
Again thumbs up (y) for your beautiful outfits. Again you make me to say hat's off dear. Today I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you try some Indian ethnic dresses …??? I am sure that you'll look gorgeous in those outfits also. I am sharing a link with you please go through this link and explore some ravishing designs of Indian traditional Apparels :- http://www.unnatiexports.com/women-party-wear-suits.html
Your colorful outfit is fabulous!

me gusta, pero la falda ya es demasiado, una cosa es llamar la atención y otra exagerar
Dulce, I LOVE your outfits, and this one is super cute. The only thing is the sweater seems a little thick and big on you. I love the colour, and the pattern definitely matches the rest of the ensemble- however I feel the fit isn't right, or perhaps it's the material? I love the necklace, great choice! x
This outfit is perfect! The combination of colours are great as she paired mostly cool colours together, with a touch of warm colour as well. The colours of the clothing are not all one shade and one tone, making the outfit exciting and dynamic. The fit of the clothing is perfect as she pairs a tighter piece of clothing with a more looser item of clothing, complimenting her body shape well. The patterns of the clothes are well suited to the person as the patterns emphasize the femininity of the outfit. The high heels emphasize the height of the girl. The heels and the ponytail emphasize again the femininity of the girl. This is the perfect outfit for a girly look on a summer day.
Really bright and lovely Dulce!
Beautiful shoes *_*
Hi Dulce! I love your outfit, so colourful for spring One question, were is your necklace from? It´s so cute. Thanks, Bea ♥
You look fabulous in that out fit but I really love those shoes.
Hi Dulce! I love this look. I'm inspired to try a sweater with a skater skirt now you make it look so easy. I love the statement necklace as well. You look amazing!
Such a great, bright outfit! Love the print!
This look is beyond amazing! I feel like its a perfect spring/summer/vacation look! Makes me want to go to the bahamas!
Feeling all set to celebrate spring. The patterns and the bright color of spring décor and fashion certainly lifts up the mood. A perfect outfit for spring! I love your accessories. All awesome and out of the world!!!

While the city has opened nearly 35,000 classroom seats in Queens since 2003, the borough remains the most overcrowded in the city and desperately needs additional space, School Construction Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Lorraine Grillo said at Monday's Queens Borough Board meeting.
"The situation, as you know, in Queens is dire," Grillo said at the meeting, held at Borough Hall in Kew Gardens. "We've been working very, very hard to add seats."
Grillo briefed Borough President Helen Marshall, Deputy Borough President Barry Grodenchik and community board leaders on the city Department of Education's five-year capital plan, which ends in 2014. She noted that while the city identified a need for at least 50,000 new seats throughout the five boroughs in the capital plan, only 28,000 were originally funded. Ultimately, that number grew to 33,000.
In Queens, there are about 6,380 seats that the city said are needed but are unfunded. School District 24, which covers schools in such neighborhoods as Corona, Maspeth and Woodside, and District 29, which covers areas including Cambria Heights, Rosedale and Laurelton, have the largest number of unfunded seats in the capital plan — 1,905 and 1,084, respectively. District 30, which covers western Queens, comes in a close third, with 1,378 unfunded seats.
Still, Grillo emphasized that, in part because of pressure from the borough president, Queens is receiving more seats than other parts of the city.
She noted that Maspeth High School, now operating at the Metropolitan High School campus in Forest Hills, will open this September. PS 287, an elementary school in Corona, and an addition to PS 87 in Middle Village, will open in September 2013. PS 287 will include 432 seats, and the addition at PS 87 will include another 140 seats.
"This addition to PS 87 is something parents have fought for for a very long time," Grillo said.
The SCA president emphasized that District 24 — where Maspeth HS, PS 287 and PS 87 will be sited — as well as District 30, are particular areas of "tremendous need."
In District 25, an additional 232 seats will open in an addition to PS 29 in College Point this September. The city is looking for a site to build about 738 seats around the Flushing-Murray Hill area.
The city is also searching for a site to build 416 seats in the Bayside-Auburndale neighborhood, and another location to build 416 seats in the Howard Beach-Lindenwood community. Ozone Park's PS 316 will open in September 2014, and will include 416 seats.
In District 28, PS/IS 314 will open with 833 seats in Jamaica in September 2015. Also in 2015, PS 334 in Hollis, located in District 29, will open with 379 seats.
IS 297 in Long Island City is set to usher students into its 423 seats beginning in September 2013, and another 508 seats will be included in an addition to PS 70 in Sunnyside in September 2014.
Marshall said she is pleased with the new seats, but also stressed the need for continuing construction.
"We have a definite necessity for seats for our kids," Marshall said. "We are packed."


text: "Prescription and over-the-counter medications, when used properly and taken on the advice of your doctor or in counsel with your pharmacist, can go a long way in easing pain, relieving symptoms, fighting infections, and even preventing illness," Mark Heelon, PharmD, medication safety specialist, Baystate Medical Center Inpatient Pharmacy, said. "But when in the wrong hands and not prescribed by a doctor, prescription drugs, including painkillers and anti-depressants, can result in addiction, serious side effects, and even death," he added. October is "Talk About Prescriptions Month" and prescription drug abuse is the nation's fastest-growing drug problem. An estimated 20 percent of people in the U.S. have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons, such as to experience a "high feeling." As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic. But, while prescription drug abuse is featured prominently in the news today, prescription "misuse" doesn't get an equal share of the attention, Heelon noted. "Misuse of prescription drugs is, for the most part, not done intentionally. It can be as simple as someone taking a larger dosage in hopes of alleviating their symptoms quicker, or someone offering a friend one of their sleeping pills because a personal problem is keeping them awake at night," Heelon said. First and foremost in protecting yourself against the possible misuse of prescription medications is to make a list of all your medications, to continually make sure the list it is up-to-date, and to carry the list with you at all times. "Remember to list all the medications you currently take, both prescription and over-the-counter, as well as any vitamins or herbal supplements," Heelon said. "This is especially important when seeing a new doctor or visiting a hospital's Emergency Department, so doctors won't prescribe a medication you are already taking or one which would result in a dangerous drug interaction," he added. Also, as a safety-check, it is a good idea to have all of your prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy where computer software programs are used to alert pharmacists to any potential problems before filling your prescription, noted the Baystate Medical Center pharmacist. "Most people think over-the-counter medications are harmless since there is no need to get a doctor's prescription for them. And, most are. But, it's still a good idea to check with your pharmacist because some over-the-counter medications taken along with a prescription drug may render that drug less efficient," Heelon said. "Also, it's a good idea to read the ingredients on the package. For example, many over-the-counter medications contain Tylenol, which can damage your liver if taken in excess. Recently, Johnson & Johnson lowered the recommended daily dosage of its Extra Strength Tylenol due to overdose concerns," he added. Adherence to medications is yet another concern in the misuse of prescription medications. "Some people may not be good at remembering to take their medications as prescribed, or they may stop taking them because they feel better or think they aren't working. Stopping a medication cold turkey can be harmful, and should only be done in consultation with your doctor. Also, if you miss a dose, don't take two the next time to make up for it without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first," Heelon said. For safety, and for potency sake, Heelon cautioned against misusing a medication by keeping a newly-filled prescription in a hot or cold car for too long. "Humidity can break down the ingredients in some drugs affecting their efficacy. I've also seen some medications left in a hot car that have actually melted together," Heelon said. And, preventing misuse actually begins before the patient even leave the pharmacy. "Check to make sure you have received the correct medicine and dosage, as well as asking your pharmacist any questions you may have about the drug and its instructions for use," Heelon said. There are some cases, however, where drug misuse can lead to drug abuse. "Taking a larger dose of some medications could result in an unexpected high, leading to abuse when a person continues to take a prescription drug after it is no longer needed just to recreate and maintain that high feeling," Heelon said. To further prevent any possible prescription drug abuse, Heelon said people should always keep their prescription medications in a locked medicine cabinet or box. "You may think that you know your children, who can be inquisitive and risk takers as they grow older, and there's no reason to give them an opportunity to experiment. And, the same goes for their friends, who might be visiting your home," Heelon said. Those who haven't been keeping their medications under lock and key, Heelon noted it's also a good idea to keep track of medicine by keeping count of the number of pills in a bottle to be sure none are missing. "And, when disposing of old or unused prescription drugs, place them in a non-see-through container and mix them into kitty litter, coffee grounds, or even dirt so kids won't want to dig them out and use them," Heelon said. "While some people may flush them down the toilet or empty them into the sink, more and more experts are discouraging that tactic because of the possible harmful effects to the environment," he added.

Autumn and Lee's Story
"Lee and I have always struggled to find housing we can afford."
~ Autumn, Patton Park Apartments
Autumn Gaddy has lived in Northeast Portland with her partner Lee for over 15 years. Now their child Grace, is almost old enough to go to kindergarten. Before moving into Patton Park Apartments, the Gaddys were doubling up and living with another family in the basement of an unfinished house. Although Autumn appreciated sharing child care and support with the other family, their living situation was difficult. She says it was challenging to juggle the space needs of eight people underneath one roof.
Autumn discovered us while visiting the Trillium Charter School, right next-door to Patton Park. She noticed a sign marking the area "The future home of Patton Park Apartments." According to Autumn, Patton Park is opening its doors not a moment too soon. "I was really excited to find this being built in North Portland, especially because my daughter's school is right in the neighborhood." Autumn hopes to get her daughter into Trillium Kindergarten next year.
"Lee and I have always struggled to find housing we can afford," said Autumn. "If Patton Park hadn't come along we would have tried to find another apartment in the neighborhood. But the rent would be at least two hundred dollars over what we'll be paying at Patton Park," she added. "For us right now, that $200 is the difference between eating well and not so well."

This article presents a new method to characterize free gas, gas hydrate and carbonate concretion occurrence, which are considered high-risk factors for subsea developments. This method is based on the combination of 3D seismic data and geotechnical site characterizations using piezocone Cone Penetration Tests (CPT). The calibration of P-wave velocity anomalies was completed using in situ geotechnical testing carried out during two oceanographic surveys in 2003 and 2004. Comparisons between in situ testing using the piezocone, recovered cores, and predicted gas and gas hydrate distribution based on compressional wave velocity have shown that 3D seismic data is a valuable tool in identifying heterogeneous areas, but using in situ CPT testing is essential to discriminate between gas hydrates and carbonate concretions. Furthermore, in situ compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements have clearly demonstrated the co-existence of gas hydrate and free gas in the study area that was only previously suspected from seismic data.

At the 1982 Oscars, the screenwriter of the multiple award winning Chariots of Fire Colin Welland famously collected his award by proclaiming, "The British are coming!" And at last night's Tony Awards on Broadway, it was like we were reclaiming the colonies.
Brits and/or British-originated productions took ten awards (out of 26 categories), including six for the Donmar-originated Red that saw it take the all-important Best Play Award as well as Tony's for director Michael Grandage and his designer Christopher Oram (whom Grandage touchingly referred to as "my inspiration and my rock"), another for featured actor in a play Eddie Redmayne, and two more for Adam Cork's sound and Neil Austin's lighting.
That was the highest number of any Tony wins for a single production.
Meanwhile the Menier Chocolate Factory - who had scored the highest number of nominations for any single theatre, with 15 shared between its productions of La Cage Aux Folles and A Little Night Music — saw it take four: the former saw the predicted Douglas Hodge win for Best Actor in a Musical for reprising his performance as Albin, as well as the largely unpredicted win for Terry Johnson (for Best Director of a Musical) and the year's win as Best Revival of a Musical; while Night Music won the Best Actress in a Musical award for its star Catherine Zeta-Jones. Poor David Babini - onstage with his co-producers to collect the win for La Cage as best revival - saw Broadway's Barry Weissler leading the thank you speeches, then Sonia Friedman had a word, before she passed the baton onto him; only to have the orchestra strike up to silence him before he'd even uttered a word. Never mind - it was still the Menier's night (after it was the Donmar's night).
Then there was an additional Tony win for Alan Ayckbourn who, presented with a lifetime achievement award, said he had recently been asked by a journalist what it was like to get one, and he replied he didn't know as this was the first time he'd received one. In fact, he seems to have already forgotten his recent Critics' Circle Annual Award, which also acts as a kind of barometer of lifetime achievement. But never mind again: both honours are richly deserved.
The Americans, meanwhile, romped home with big wins for Memphis — Best Musical, best original score, best book and best orchestrations - as well as the National Theatre bound production of Fela just behind it with three consolation prize wins, for choreography, sound and costumes; a couple of wins for American Idiot and one each for A View from the Bridge, Promises Promises, Mllion Dollar Quartet and The Royal Family. Then there was the Fences phenomenon that saw Denzel Washington named Best Actor in a Play alongside two other wins. Just yesterday the New York Post was pointing out how Washington had been this season's most bankable star at the Broadway box office. Michael Riedel noted that when it began its run back in April, it opened with "almost $5 million in the bank, an impressive figure for a non-musical play. It grosses more than $1 million a week and returned its $3.8 million investment in just two months. Officially, the top ticket price is $325, but ticket brokers say scalpers are getting as much as $600 for orchestra seats. 'It's the only show that's worth anything on the secondary market right now,' says a top ticket broker. 'And it's all because of Denzel Washington'." =
There was another lifetime achievement award for the veteran Broadway actress Marian Seldes, who - for the last sixty years - has forged a career mainly as a stage actress; and in a Broadway season that was dominated by celebrity actors, it was a particular celebration of the fact that theatre actors can get their own recognition and reward. Though not, clearly, enough for the person seated to my right, who asked me with some surprise, "Who is that?" as Seldes took her award.
But the publicly unrecognised also got their due last night,. In an "in memoriam" slide show on people we have lost in the last year, Michael Kuchwara - for so long theatre critic of Associated Press until his death just a few weeks ago that I wrote about here, Kuch was featured. As his one-time AP colleague Matt Wolf said in an e-mail to me over the weekend, "[The Tony's] won't be the same without Kuch"; and they weren't..
Also receiving their welcome due were the two Manhattan police precincts, Midtown North and Midtown South, whose respective beats cover the Theatre District, and who were presented with special Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre. As a story in Saturday'/s New York Times put it, they have helped to "make Times Square synonymous with something other than extreme sleaze. Unlike the situation, say, two decades ago, an evening at the theater no longer routinely involves running a gantlet of assorted predators, pimps, prostitutes and pickpockets. Midtown North, which has the main concentration of Broadway theaters, recorded 16 murders in 1990; the 2009 figure was 2. Reported robberies in that period plummeted to 123 from 2,135. The robbery numbers do not include box office prices. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) "
But if Broadway is often, nowadays, about fleecing its customers for everything they've got, the Theatre is also a world that encourages altruism; and Saturday morning's announcement of the Queen's Birthday honours confirmed the appointment back home of Blanche Marvin to a honorary MBE. Regular readers of this blog will know what a personal and professional champion I am of Blanche; but even if she is determined always to extend the range and reach of British theatre, she is also one of the kindnest people I know, too, which counts for even more.

New Skins: Week 1: Introduction · Week 2: Critique · Week 3: Video / The Verlan Dress
Text & photos by Francis Bitonti Studio
The second week of Francis Bitonti's New Skins: Computational Design for Fashion workshop saw a week-long charrette at Pratt Institute's Digital Arts and Humanities Research Center. This intensive design/prototyping phase of the three-week course culminated with a presentation to a panel of critics including architect and designer Vito Acconci, mononymic fashion designer Jona from INAISCE, and representatives from MakerBot.
Leading up to the review, the students worked in four teams of three to produce their designs in a digital environment. Each team also produced prototypes of a 3D-printed textile, printed on the MakerBot Replicator 2, which is part and parcel to their proposals for their final projects. "The MakerBot gives the designers immediate feedback between the digital and the physical world," Bitonti noted. "With all the complexity we are able to generate in the digital environment, it's important to have immediate material feedback so that the students can start push the geometry towards cultivating interesting material behaviors."
The workshop is about finding the new aesthetic formal language of this new manufacturing paradigm. It was essential that the students work directly with rapid prototyping equipment. The materials are different they are built different, the students need to be working intelligently with the materials and build procedure. We are working with these materials as end use parts it's not just about replicating a form from the computer, though that is part of it—it's about cultivating new material behaviors.
The makerware software has proven to be extremely valuable in fine tuning the material output. The final design the students produce will be entirely printed on MakerBot 3D printers.
They jury was asked to select a design that all of the students would then work together to realize in full and to be photographed for the final week of the workshop. At one point, Jona and Acconci engaged in an interesting debate about the use of symmetry in fashion design—the former argued that it was necessary while Acconci suggested it was important to challenge these ideas.
In the end, the jury selected two designs and tasked the students with combining the intricate patterning of one design with the silhouette of the other.
Daniel Greifinger, Jennifer Parker & Leonie Tenthof van Noorden
Natalia Roumelioti, Elisa Feng & Renee Garcia
Keren Oxman, Itamar Jobani & Brynn Trusewicz
Martin Gsandtner, Andrea Munoz & Louis Lee
Bitonti, for his part, was impressed with the results. "I cannot believe what the students have accomplished in only a one week design charrette and only one week of software instruction. Each team has produced some amazing work and is thinking critically about the discipline through the new technologies. I think they are all walking away thinking differently about their design and production processes."
Bitonti with Casey Rehm of Pratt DAHRC
Following the jury presentation, the students spent the final week fabricating the final design and tailoring the garment to a model for a photo shoot. See the results here.

Nomkhubulwane Coming to Marygrove
In support of this Urban Leadership Vision and in specific response to pressing local and global issues involving environmental sustainability and earth care, Marygrove has embarked on a project to host Nomkhubulwane (Nom-koo-bull-WAH-nee, Zulu for Mother Earth), an elephant sculpture created by South African sculptor Andries Botha. This life-size sculpture, made of galvanized steel and recycled truck tires, is traveling around the world to raise awareness about how people can creatively address issues caused by the expanding human ecological footprint. Nomkhubulwane is one of 17 elephants on display globally by the Human Elephant Foundation (www.humanelephant.org).

Marygrove students become urban leaders by mentoring area high school students

As part of Marygrove's larger focus on urban leadership, the College has formed what is known as the Marygrove Urban Agenda initiative (MUA). MUA was developed to help local high school students develop leadership skills to find ways they can have a positive impact on the communities where they live and go to school.
With help from a grant from Campus Compact and program leader Marygrove professor Tal Levy, fifty students from Mumford and Cody high schools came to Marygrove to discuss the concept of peer mediation as a way to find solutions to the problems of learning in their schools—specifically violence.
As these students are trained in peer mediation, they learn practical ways they can take control and manage difficult and/or violent situations. These "peer mediators," then discuss the ideas with other students to advance the concept.
Levy's inspiration for the MUA evolved from a Wayne State University Urban Agenda (UA) program. The original UA program was created by his mentor and friend, the late Otto Feinstein, a political scientist and activist for social justice from Wayne State University, Levy's alma mater. The UA program was originally an exercise in political and civic literacy—it called for enhancing students' understanding of the political process by participating in political gatherings with students from other colleges and universities.

To hear Jessica Knott and Darrius Washington sing is to hear the voices of angels. And fortunately, these angelic sounds will carry themselves all the way to Italy this summer, thanks to an opportunity for Knott and Washington to perform in the 2010 Vocal Program at the Amalfi Coast Music & Arts Festival in Amalfi, Italy, July 14 – 26, which was funded, in part, by a generous donation from an anonymous Marygrove alumni donor.
They were selected to perform in a summer opera production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" as well as additional solo performances in select opera scenes—an incredible honor, as there were an unexpectedly high number of applicants this year, making the normally complex audition review process even more selective than usual. Washington will perform the roles of Armored Man/Priest and Knott will perform the role of 2nd Spirit.

Given those instructions, I'd reduce by half, however long that took.
That is, I'd reduce six cups of stock to three cups of sauce. But I
think if it tastes good, you're good to go, and you can always thin it
with stock/water/whatever.

TUCSON - If you're a cyclist, you know that a long ride will leave your leg muscles feeling fatigued. But have you ever wished you could get an arm workout at the same time? One local rider had a similar thought, and has now patented his arm and leg powered recumbent bike.
Louis Hudgin has worked on creating his bike for over 50 years, and says that while it's had its fair share of challenges, it's extremely easy to ride!
"It takes a little coordination, but I figure if you can chew gum and walk at the same time, you can ride that."
The handlebars not only give you a full body workout, they also add power to recumbent bikes, which generally are a little slower than other bikes. This extra boost helps Hudgins climb those hard to ride hills.
"I've been able to increase the power by 60 percent," he said.
For beginners, the arms can be adjusted for that perfect fit, and the handlebars can also be made to stay in place, so using only your legs is still an option.
