There was a time when soil erosion was, by and large, a farmer?s concern. As machinery was developed that allowed the tillage of greater acreages, the result was horrifying losses of topsoil to the effects of wind, water and gravity.
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s illustrated erosion taken to its utmost. Drought and exposed soil factored into a nightmare of massive dust storms in the Plains States, but one positive that came from it all was a new erosion consciousness.
The advent of the Soil Erosion Service ? later to become the Soil Conservation Service and, ultimately, the Natural Resources Conservation Service ? begat program upon program to educate agricultural producers on methods to keep the soil in place. Contouring, terracing and other soil-conserving practices became common as a result of these efforts.
Today, erosion isn?t just an agricultural worry. As suburbia expands to take in the surrounding hillsides, home and business owners, too, must face this adversary. Locations in need of landscaping are usually prone to erosion and sedimentation, and careless landscape practices can even contribute. Or, as David Franklin, vice president of Metamorphosis Erosion Control in Napa, California, puts it, ?Landscaping is erosion control.? Once valuable topsoil is lost, after all, it will prove difficult if not impossible for a quality landscape to become established. Therefore, protecting that soil resource should be at the top of a landscape contractor?s list of concerns.
Another influence on urban erosion control is the Phase II Final Rule of the EPA?s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which regulates storm water discharge from small construction projects (one to five acres).
?New legislation tied to Phase II,? says Wally Butman, executive vice president of Finn Corporation, ?requires an erosion control plan for sediment control on one-acre or larger sites. Therefore, more small to mid-sized hydroseeding contractors will be called on, and the opportunity will open up for them to do more of this type of work, as opposed to strictly residential and commercial lawns.?
Soil Science 101
Occasionally, it?s good for even the most seasoned experts to revisit the basics, and what gets more basic to the landscaping profession than the soil beneath it all?
A typical ?soil profile? has distinct layers that include the O, A, B and C horizons, which can vary widely in their relative thickness. The O horizon is at the surface, and consists of organic matter. When leaves fall, or when trees are mulched, this becomes the O horizon. These organic elements are the source of nutrients that plants require.
The A horizon is just beneath the O, and is made up of both organic and mineral materials. It is within the A horizon that most plant roots will be found, and it?s this horizon that?s considered topsoil.
Once in the B horizon, organic matter begins to get more scarce as mineral matter increases, and in the C horizon, no organic substance is found. Instead, the C horizon very closely resembles the parent material (i.e., rock) from which it came.
From a horticultural perspective, the O and A horizons will have the biggest impact on plant health, and these are the layers that will bear the harshest erosional scars. When heavy equipment compacts the topsoil ? such as during construction activities ? soil pores close and soil infiltration rates decrease. To illustrate, think about two cylinders (such as coffee cans open on both ends) placed on a) an undisturbed site and b) a site compacted by machinery. If you pour equal amounts of water into each cylinder, the liquid will infiltrate into the undisturbed soil relatively quickly. On the other hand, water will linger above the surface of the compacted soil. If the latter is on the slightest of slopes, rain or irrigation water will move along the surface before soaking into the ground, carrying soil particles with it.
Contractors can correct compaction in different ways: by mechanically loosening the soil; by adding amendments such as compost to improve the soil?s porosity; by applying synthetic erosion control materials like jute mesh; and by adding plant materials, which will both anchor the topsoil and improve porosity.
Hydroseeding: a cost-effective solution
While it may be possible to put a variety of materials on exposed grounds to pin the soil in place, a landscape contractor?s clients will usually be seeking some form of vegetative cover.
Sod is a fast way to get vegetation on a bare landscape, but for some clients, this method is just too costly. Broadcast seeding is an option as well, but it?s quite labor intensive. Hydro-seeding, by comparison, is a more affordable alternative.
?The primary reason most of our customers choose hydroseeding is for the cost savings,? explains Kerry Thomas of Grass-Kat Lawns in Waco, Texas. ?A lot of the commercial sites we seed are large in size, and the design engineer is looking for ways to reduce project cost. The same thinking applies to homeowners.?
When it comes to the investment contractors will need to make to add hydroseeding to their business, Sabrina Beretta, owner of Jobrina?s Hydroseeding in Port Orchard, Washington, says, ?If you have nothing to start with as far as equipment, you?re probably looking at around $30,000 to set yourself up with a decent flatbed or dump truck, a hydroseeding machine and a Bobcat. These are prices for used equipment, so if you buy new, the costs go up considerably. Most landscape contractors will already have a truck and Bobcat, so a decent hydroseeding machine will cost from $10,000 to $20,000 and up.?
Thomas believes that sod as a cure-all approach is ?old-school thinking? and estimates that hydroseeding can cost as little as half the cost of sod, depending upon job requirements and specifications. In other words, the contractor who has hydroseeding capabilities at his or her fingertips will be able to reach a greater number of customers than those who deal exclusively with sod.
Finding your clients . . . and serving them
When you?re a landscape contractor selling hydroseeding, who?s likely to buy your services? New developments should certainly be a primary marketing focus. In the ideal arrangement, contractors will be able to work closely with developers to minimize the negative impacts on soil and water ? to get vegetation onto bare spots, and especially onto bare slopes, as swiftly as is feasible.
Says Franklin, ?Construction sites have been identified as one of the more significant sources of water pollution, because of sediment running offsite. The window of time between clearing a site and stabilizing it with landscaping is when erosion is likely to take place. Therefore, clearing only those areas that will be promptly completed is an important strategy.?
Franklin makes the point that wise landscape designers will consider the use of cisterns or other detention methods to recharge water displaced by hardscapes or soil compaction. If X amount of rain falls onto an undeveloped site, X amount will continue to fall after a home, a garage and a sidewalk have been installed. One must somehow compensate for this reduction in soil area, or else pay the consequences.
From Butman?s perspective, the EPA rules will open new doors for small to mid-sized contractors.
?For a contractor who?s used to doing anywhere from 15 to 20 acres of residential work,? says Butman, ?I foresee that doubling and tripling if he ties into the erosion control opportunity.?
Projects beyond new developments and new construction are out there as well, waiting for the equipped contractor to come aboard. These may not be the bread and butter, but they can often prove to be profitable undertakings.
?The majority of our job sites are new construction,? Thomas explains, ?where soil preparation is typically done by the general contractor with the final grade. Occasionally, however, we have to go in and remove existing vegetation and prepare the soil.?
Beretta explains that her company?s clientele also come from across the spectrum. ?Most of our customers are homeowners who have done a majority of their own landscaping,? she says, ?and they need us for the final installation ? the lawn. We also have contracts with local home builders in our area, many of whom install at least a front yard for the new homes they build. And we do business with local utility and excavating companies, hydroseeding over trench lines and septic systems.?
The bottom line is that soil disturbance of any kind opens a door for hydroseeding.
Be prepared to stand in the role of educator if you want to build demand in your part of the country.
According to Beretta, many fail to appreciate what hydroseeding can mean to them.
?Most people still think of it as the green stuff you see along the highways,? she says. ?Very few know that we can customize seed mixes for the specific site; we can spray erosion control mixes and wildflower mixes. As the public becomes more aware of the applications for hydro-seeding, it will only increase business for those contractors who offer hydroseeding and do it right.?
Furthermore, she underscores the need for contractors to have a firm understanding of accepted techniques before hitting the road with these services.
?I believe hydroseeding can be very profitable,? she says, ?if the landscape contractor makes sure he uses the right amount of materials for the specific job ? the proper amount of mulch and tackifier, the right type of seed mix, all applied at the right time of year on soil that has been properly prepared. You make money at hydroseeding by doing it right the first time and eliminating costly call-backs and re-sprays.?
Erosion is one of the most detrimental forces to soil health and, therefore, to plant success and, ultimately, to the green industry. Erosion control is a tremendous opportunity for contractors to step up to the plate and play a role in improving clients? property values and environmental quality. While suburban America may never host a Dust Bowl, erosion can be as serious to a homeowner as it is to a farmer.

Before he was hosting "Access Hollywood" and the nationally syndicated radio program, "The Billy Bush Show" and interviewing A-listers such as Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Billy Bush was a green correspondent for "Access" just trying to learn the ropes of celebrity interviews. His interviews weren't always pretty in those days, but he's learned from them (even the uncomfortable sit-down with Tommy Lee Jones).
Here, Bush — who will appear with "Saturday Night Live" alum David Spade Saturday at Make-A-Wish Illinois' Wish Ball 2012 at the UIC Forum — lists those lessons, along with some of the others he's learned during his 15-year career in radio and TV.
Dig for memorable moments: "I'm a moment hunter. I'm all about creating a moment that's either funny or memorable in some way. We tape interviews and cut out the fat and get right to that stuff. You have to know when to get off topic and try to land something sticky."
Bad interviews can be saved: "Never admit to the awkwardness of the moment. It's awkward for everybody if you can see both people are awkward. Hang in there and don't budge. You can turn those moments very easily if you are confident. … This took me at least five or six years (to master). Tommy Lee Jones has a built-in disdain for the media and was giving me one-word answers when he was promoting (1997's 'Men In Black'). It was painful. This was only my second year on the job. I allowed it to happen. Now, I would ask, 'Why are we doing this? Why are you giving one-word answers? Why are you here? Let's talk about the fact that you hate me for some reason. What is that?' Then it would be a different case. Then it could be fascinating. It took getting my teeth kicked in a few times to get to this point. You get better all the time."
Honesty is not always the best policy: "If the movie really sucks, I try not to talk about it. And if they ask, I'll say 'It was original …' I've had it happen a couple times. I had a difficult moment recently with a particular wonderful A-list starlet (Julia Roberts) who I love. I told her I thought her character (in 'Mirror, Mirror') was a bitch. She didn't want to hear it. It certainly could have been (awkward), but I hung in there and made it fun."
Prepare to wait around: "Ever since I started doing 'Access Hollywood Live' (in 2010), celebs come to us. They do the waiting. I don't do junkets anymore now that I anchor the show alone. It took 11 years to get there, but I'm really happy. I waited for Lindsay Lohan for 21/2 hours when she was filming (2006's 'Just My Luck') in New York. I finally I called my boss and said: "Hey, I'm starving and I ain't doing this anymore. I'm out of here." And I left. Two minutes later, I'm sitting in a sushi restaurant and I get a call that she's ready to go. I said 'No way' and hung up."
Don't be afraid to get personal early in the interview: "A great adage I learned from a great man one time was, 'There is a way to ask every question. You just have to figure out the way.' I think that's good advice. I don't back-door it. A lot of the times I lead with it: 'Let's get the elephant out of the room.' I ask it off the top so that we can get into the fun stuff. Why let it weigh on your mind? You don't want them to sit there thinking 'When are you going to ask the big question, big boy?'"
Get celebs to discuss off-limit topics without asking off-limit questions: "I leave the door open for that celeb to talk about it. There are ways of doing it without asking the question. Then you come to find out they want to talk about it and it was their PR person who didn't want it. If they say under no circumstance can we ask the question, then we decide if it's worth sitting down with (the celeb) in the first place. There are plenty of interviews where you look like a fool if you don't ask anything about a topic, so you're better off not doing the interview. With (rapper) T.I., I wanted to ask about his time in jail, so I said 'It looks like you've been eating well.' He said the food in prison is incredible, and we found out he had a chef in jail."
It's only entertainment: "The bone I've always picked with other entertainment shows is, frankly, they come at it like it's the most serious news in the world. We make sure to wink at the audience. It's not rocket science."

It has been hotter than H....E....double hockey sticks!!! It is the end of September but our summer is just a little late this year. I was cooking chili and crock pot meals this summer and my readers back East were scratching their heads. It was cold here this summer. But dont get too excited about this warm spell as I am sure it will be gone with in a couple days. While it is here, it is too hot to really cook. I had some beautiful boneless, skinless chicken thighs which were to be used for a stew (obviously that isn't happening, it was 104 today) so I figured I would marinade them and grill them up for a salad. Chicken thighs take flavor like no other part of the chicken. This marinade I did in the afternoon, but you could do it before work and let it sit all day in the fridge. You probably have all the ingredients for the marinade in your fridge too! These type of meals are my favorite, pulling a rabbit out of a hat!
Lemon Dijon Chicken over Baby Greens
1 package of Boneless, Skinless chicken thighs (my package had 6 in it)
1/2 cup Dijon Mustard
2 TB olive oil
2 TB lemon juice (or juice of one lemon)
This is too simple, combine dijon mustard, lemon, oil and chicken in a bowl or ziplock bag. I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper first but you could season it on the grill instead. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill. Mine sat for about three hours. It would have been longer but I spaced out and forgot.
The Fireman cant be bother tonight to BBQ (he is busy so we wont blame him until I over heat the house) so I heated up my grill pan on high and sprayed with cooking spray. Cook till thoroughly cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, make the honey Dijon dressing.
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 TB honey
1 TB Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1 TB Italian seasoning
1 pinch kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Taste and adjust your seasonings.
Place baby greens on each plate and slice the chicken thighs to top. Drizzle dressing over each.

Hasselback Potatoes
These potatoes are almost too pretty to eat. I say that fully knowing that I will eat it and not feel bad about it. Sorry, potatoes are like chocolate to most. Except I dont crave chocolate...ever!
Hasselback Potatoes
3-6 cloves of garlic sliced uber thin. (I like a lot of garlic but most dont)
4-6 large potatoes (but dont get the ones that are the size of a football)
olive oil
butter (stick but you wont use but a couple TB at the most)
Kosher salt and pepper
I am a garlic nut. I will use just about all this garlic and what I dont use will end up in my Mushrooms that I am cooking. Vampires should be warned, we eat a ton of garlic every day.
Slice them as thin as you can with out taking a finger with it
Wash your potatoes. Not that I am afraid of a little dirt but really it has no place in this recipe. If you are good with you knife skills, cut slices into the potato with out cutting all the way. I manage alright but if this is hard for you, you can place a large serving spoon under the potato or a ruler next to the potato.
Being the garlic freak I am, I alternate garlic through the slices. I also like to thinly slice butter and cut each slice into quarters and alternate again between the slices. See there is some garlic left over. Don't worry, I will use it....somewhere! Now carefully drizzle some olive oil on the potatoes. I like to rub to cover using my left hand so I can season with my right hand some Kosher Salt and Pepper.
Bake in a preheated 400 oven for about an hour and half.
See they are almost too pretty to eat. Nice for when you are entertaining. Very easy to make.
I served with some Cube steak that I topped with Bacon and Mushrooms.

Cube Steak with Bacon & Mushrooms
I grew up eating foods that my kids would never dream of eating. Chicken Livers with gravy, Liver and Onions, and meats that were hunted for just for dinner. Some of the food I do miss. My mom made liver and onions that tasted like steak. Since my kids can't even be tricked into eating liver, this is the next best thing. No liver was used, instead cube steak which my kids will eat. I served with Hasselback potatoes. (Which are almost too pretty to eat!)
Cube Steak with Bacon & Mushrooms
3 pieces thick sliced bacon cut into small chunks
1 large onion halved and sliced
1 package baby bella mushrooms sliced (could buy already sliced but it usually is cheaper to not)
3 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup Marsala wine
2 TB Worcestershire sauce
1 cup flour
1 TB lemon pepper seasoning
2 TB season all salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 package of cube steaks (mine had four)
3 TB oil for meat
1 TB butter
First cut up the bacon. I use a cutting board just for meats since I really dont want the bacteria on my wood board. Place in a cold saute pan and start cooking on medium high heat. Do not drain the drippings unless you have something against pork fat. You are going to add the mushrooms, onions and eventually garlic to the pan.
While the bacon is starting to cook, start slicing up the mushrooms, onions and garlic. I love these mushrooms. They are so meaty tasting.
What could be wrong with these ingredients on some meat?
Get your flour ready for the meat. I have some cake tins that are old just for this. Add the Lemon Pepper Seasoning and the Seasoning Salt to the flour.
The bacon is half way cooked so its a good time to add the onions and mushrooms. Keep on medium high heat. Dont judge my old stove. It's a dinosaur! Dont salt and pepper until the mushrooms start browning. But make sure you salt and pepper.
Get the pan ready for the meat. Heat the oil and butter over medium high heat. The mushrooms will go fast.
Dredge the meat in the flour and then place in the hot oil.
Dont flip until nice and crusty.
The Mushrooms should have the perfect amount of color so add the garlic
Let cook to get the rawness out of the garlic. This is where The Fireman and I have to be careful. Hunger takes over and picking at the pan occurs. The mushrooms need to be checked to see if there is enough salt and pepper. Once garlic is cooked, add the Marsala and Worcestershire sauce. I dont measure so a little extra Marsala may end up in the pan.
Let simmer until just about all the liquid reduces down and the mushrooms absorb all the sauce.
Serve! Of course the mushrooms go on top of the steak, but somehow extra from the pan ends up on my potatoes too.

Speedy Cheesy Augratin Potatoes
There is nothing more comforting to me than potatoes. Sweets are not even on my radar. Potatoes are heavenly. Tonight I am making The Fireman a manly meal, Steak with Mushroom Topper, Roasted Cauliflower and Speedy Augratin Potatoes. Now to be honest, I would be a happy camper with the steak and mushrooms. Its very hearty and very satisfying. But my man needs a starch to go with his meal and being the girl I am, how can I refuse him?
This potato dish is as easy as it comes for Augratins. You dont need to slice it all up pretty. It's a dump it and bake it dish. I dont even really measure. I am giving you measurements but feel free to wing it.
Speedy Cheesy Augratin Potatoes
4 large potatoes cut into quarters. Don't cut too thick
2 cups of whole milk
2 TB butter
2 heaping TB flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese grated
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the 2 TB butter into chunks and place into the bottom of a Pyrex dish
In a bowl mix together with a whisk milk, flour, salt and pepper
Put 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the Pyrex dish. Pour 1/3 of the milk mixture over the potatoes. Cover with cheese.
Repeat two more times.
Cover with foil and cook for 1 hour.

Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
"Hi! My name is _______ and I am a carbaholic!" I need to attend a meeting. I think there should be Carb meetings along with the AA meetings. After all I am addicted. And to be frank, I dont think I ever will give it up completely. So here is another very quick and very satisfying pasta recipe. I am making it for me (and me alone) for lunch today. You can double/triple for your family. The added pine nuts are my favorite. This is one of those recipes that you can toss together and not measure.
Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
recipe is for 1
Angel Hair Pasta
2 TB sun dried tomatoes in oil
1/2 fresh grated Parmesan cheese
6 Calamata olives chopped
2 TB pine nuts roasted (I use these a lot, so I buy them at Trader Joes or Costco in a big bag. Unfortunately I haven't made a run to either store and had to settle for this little over priced bag)
1 clove of garlic minced (oh heck with it how about 2 cloves...I love garlic)
Start your water boiling. In the pan you will make your 'sauce' in, toss the pine nuts in and toast over medium heat. You are looking to lightly brown. It will take maybe a minute, so keep an eye on it.
Transfer the toasted nuts to the bowl you plan on serving the pasta in.
Scoop out the sun dried tomatoes and oil. I happened to grab the julienned version so I dont have to chop but if you have the whole tomato, carefully scoop out without oil and chop. Place in pan and add some of the oil. Having them already chopped is just easier. Add the garlic to it and cook till the garlic is browned but dont burn! If the garlic cooks and the pasta is not done, take off the burner.
Add the olives to the pan.
Grab a couple TB of pasta water, careful to not burn yourself. Sometimes I need the water and other times I dont. It depends on how much oil I scooped into the pan with the tomatoes.
Add the cooked pasta (as you can see I cooked more than one serving) to the pan and toss with the cheese and the pine nuts. Add the pasta water if if seems too dry.
I am so hungry I could eat it out of the pan.

Pork Chops with Bold Mushroom Gravy
To be honest, tonight I planned on making my favorite Mustard Pork Chops but I couldn't find any hard cider so I saved half the mushrooms from last night's Steak with Topper. I am a sucker for any recipe with mushrooms in it. This is very similar to Chicken Marsala expect the obvious, it's pork and its much more zesty with the addition of Worcestershire sauce. Very easy to make. You can get dinner on the table in 15 minutes with the aid of using Angel Hair pasta instead of mashed potatoes.
Pork Chops with Bold Mushroom Gravy
1 package of thin pork chops (mine are boneless to cook faster)
1/2 package baby Bella mushrooms
4 TB Marsala wine
2 TB Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chicken or beef stock
4 TB butter
2 cloves of garlic minced (I actually added more but we are garlic freaks)
salt and pepper
2 TB milk or cream
Start boiling the water for the Angel Hair pasta. Do not add the pasta until you are almost down with the sauce. It only takes three minutes to cook once you add it to the boiling water.
Melt half the butter in a saute pan. Salt and pepper the chops on both sides. You could dredge in flour but frankly I dont have time and dont want flour all over my outfit. I have plans tonight.
Cook the pork chops in the butter over medium heat. You are looking to have them cooked.
Place on a plate while you make the sauce.
If you have butter left in the pan do not add more, I had to add more. Add the mushrooms to the pan. Cook until brown. Add the garlic to the pan and brown but do not burn.
Add the flour and let cook.
Add the Marsala, Worcestershire Sauce and Chicken stock. Keep stiring the entire time. Lower heat to a simmer. Add the milk.
Once the gravy starts thickening up, add the pork chops to the pan. You are looking to cover and warm then as they are already cooked.
Drain the pasta and serve.

Connie, Anna and the late real Mr. Moose at the Museum of Natural History (above); The Nige (right)
By Marlena De Lacroix
Happy New Year 2010, everyone! Hope you had as joyous a holiday season with your family and friends as Moose and I (a.k.a. Connie and Ed) did. My beloved step-daughter Laura and step-granddaughter Anna visited us here in Manhattan for a few days around Christmas from their home in Michigan. They loved our seven month old beagle Nigel. Our Nige has become quite a character, as we used to say very affectionately in the Queens of my youth.
As I served my Italian grandmother Concetta's manicotti to Laura and Anna for Christmas dinner, I said, "Mange figlias, mangia figlia" ("eat daughter, eat."). That is
Only stories that are about love — and tell logical emotional truth about the characters we have long known and loved – can save daytime soap opera now.
what was my late grandma and father Cosmo always said to me as a girl. Having the love and continuity of family around me really did a lot to soothe a difficult year and renew my spirit and hope. (Originally, soaps taught me that!)
I want to wish you, my beloved readers, a renewed spirit and much joy as we enter 2010. Although I haven't been posting a lot lately, I want [Read more…]

Dr. Churchwell takes Manhattan
Dr. Andre Churchwell, the esteemed cardiologist from Tennessee, recently visited NYC, and Bruce Boyer thought we should meet. I think he was right! Here you see Dr. Churchwell sporting his "mill suit" inspired by the Duke of Windsor, and tailored by Leonard Logsdail. This suit makes a terrific impression, and it seems to have become quite legendary - I mean, it has it's own name! He likes to add vintage touches - like these bright yellow felt braces and tie bar - but prefers bespoke suits, as do his two brothers whom I have yet to meet (but you know I will!).
The frames he wears are bespoke, too, inspired by glasses Cary Grant once wore. This detail goes only part way to describe Dr. Churchwell's fine-tuned fascination with classic films, and the clothes worn by those legends of style. And as we walk we talk about how being a gentleman is not just in how a person dresses, but in their actions - or as Dr. Churchwell puts it - in their civility to each other.
Stopping in for a visit to his longtime tailor, Len Logsdail.
I just love these amazing embroidered vintage braces! The suit and colors are classic and a bit understated, and then open up the jacket and voila! Having fun, but always the gentleman.
The Bearded Man
Ouigi Theodore of Brooklyn Circus, at the book signing for Gary Cooper: Enduring Style at Leffot, NYC, Nov 15, 2011. Finally got to meet "The Bearded Man"! I definitely want to do a profile on this singular fellow.

Valley Metro's vision is to enable Maricopa County to travel with ease using safe, accessible, efficient, dependable, and integrated public transportation services.
First Transit has delivered on its promises to provide high-quality, efficient and cost-effective transportation solutions, through our use of innovative technology, efficient runcutting solutions, community involvement and sustainability, and our all-encompassing maintenance program.
First Transit moved almost 100 pieces of equipment from the Mesa to the Tempe facility to save hundreds of miles in deadhead. By reallocating equipment between these two facilities, we not only reduced deadhead, but reduced overall bus mileage, lost revenue time, and emissions. This efficiency could not have been achieved without the system consolidation.

Port Logan once a small fishing village, is now more famous for being the filming location for the BBC series "2000 acres of skye". In the series Portpatrick was meant to be part of the island of Skye in Scotland, where Port Logan (seen here) was meant to be a smaller island off the coast of Skye. The taller building at the end of the row of houses just at the stern of the yaught is the Port Logan Inn, which played a big part in the TV series.

Prescription MedicinesSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
There are many types of prescription medicines used to help people manage their health. Your doctor and your pharmacist are your best sources to learn about your prescription medicines.
Guidelines for taking every kind of prescription medicine could fill a whole shelf of books. This topic gives you basic information about antibiotics, minor tranquilizers, and sleeping pills.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Antibiotics are drugs that kill bacteria. But they only work against bacteria. They don't kill viruses, so they won't work against a cold, the flu, or another viral illness. Unless you have a bacterial infection, it's best to avoid the possible harmful effects of antibiotics, which may include:
- Side effects. Antibiotics can cause nausea and diarrhea and can make you more sensitive to sunlight . Most of these common side effects are mild. But some side effects, such as allergic reactions , can be severe. They can cause shortness of breath or even death. If you have an unexpected reaction to an antibiotic, tell your doctor.
- Other infections. Antibiotics kill most of the bacteria in your body that are sensitive to them, even the "good" bacteria that help your body. Antibiotics can ruin the balance of bacteria in your body, leading to an upset stomach, diarrhea, a vaginal infection, or other problems.
- Bacterial resistance. If you take antibiotics when you do not need them, they may not work when you do need them. Each time you take antibiotics, you are more likely to have some bacteria that the medicine doesn't kill. Over time, these bacteria change and become harder to kill. They become resistant to the medicine. The antibiotics that used to kill them no longer work.
If you and your doctor decide that you need an antibiotic, carefully follow the instructions for taking the medicine.
- Take the whole dose for as many days as your doctor tells you to, unless you have side effects you did not expect (in which case, call your doctor).
- Be sure you know any special instructions for taking the medicine. They should be printed on the label, but it's also a good idea to check with your doctor and pharmacist.
- Keep antibiotics in a cool, dry place. Check the label to see if you should store them in the refrigerator.
- Never give an antibiotic prescribed for one person to someone else.
- Do not save any extra antibiotics. And do not take one prescribed for another illness unless your doctor tells you it is okay. Ask your pharmacist about how to safely throw away your leftover medicine.
For more information, see the topic Using Antibiotics Wisely .
Minor Tranquilizers and Sleeping Pills
Some minor tranquilizers (such as Valium and Xanax) and sleeping pills (such as Ambien and Sonata) are widely prescribed. But these medicines can cause problems such as memory loss, addiction , and loss of balance. In rare cases, people who use them have done things like drive or eat while they're still asleep. These medicines also can cause a serious allergic reaction. So it's important to use them with caution.
Minor tranquilizers can be useful if you use them for a short time. But long-term use often isn't very helpful, and it increases the risk of addiction and mental problems.
Sleeping pills may help for a few days or a few weeks. But if you use them for more than a month, they are likely to cause more sleep problems than they solve. For other options, see the topic Insomnia or Sleeping Better .
If you have been taking minor tranquilizers or sleeping pills for a while, talk with your doctor. Ask if you can stop taking the medicine or if you can gradually take less of it over time. If you have felt unsteady or dizzy, have had any memory loss, or have had signs of an allergic reaction, tell your doctor.
Medicine Problems
There are many kinds of bad reactions (adverse reactions ) to medicine.
Side effects. A side effect is any effect other than the one you want. They tend to be mild, but they can still bother you. In some cases, side effects can be serious.
Allergies. Some people have strong reactions to some medicines. These reactions can be deadly. To learn the signs of an allergic reaction , see the topic Drug Allergies .
Medicine interactions. These happen when two or more medicines or herbal supplements mix in a person's body and cause a bad reaction. The symptoms can be severe and may be wrongly diagnosed as a new illness.
Medicine-food interactions. These happen when medicines react with food. Some drugs work best when you take them with food, but others should be taken on an empty stomach. Some medicine-food interactions can cause serious symptoms.
Overmedication. If you take too much of a medicine, it may trigger an adverse reaction. This can especially be a problem for people of small size and older adults. Sometimes the typical adult dose is too much for these people. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if you think you are having a problem with your medicine.
Addiction. Long-term use of some medicines can lead to dependency. You may have a severe reaction if you stop taking the medicine all at once. Find out from your doctor if a medicine may be addictive. To learn more, see the topic Alcohol and Drug Problems .
Decision Points are designed to guide you through key health decisions, combining medical information with your personal information to make a wise health decision. For help in learning the pros and cons of certain medicines, see a list of Decision Points About Medicines .
Getting Rid of Old or Unwanted Medicine
No matter what type of medicine you take, make sure to follow your doctor's advice about how to take it. And find out the safest way to throw away medicines that are expired or no longer used. Use these drug disposal tips to help prevent people and animals from taking medicines that aren't intended for them:
- Find out if your local trash and recycle center, pharmacy, or hospital offers a medicine take-back program or a place to drop off medicine. Ask your pharmacist if he or she knows of one. These are two of the best ways to safely throw away medicines.
- If there is not a take-back program or drop-off box near you, follow these steps to throw away medicine with the rest of your garbage:
- Mix medicine with a substance that doesn't taste good, such as cat litter, sawdust, or coffee grounds. Do not crush tablets or capsules.
- Place the mixture in a container, such as a sealed plastic bag.
- Put the container in your household trash.
Only a few medicines should be flushed down the sink or toilet if you can't use a take-back program or drop-off box.

Pie of the Week: Butterscotch Maple Walnut Three Layer Pie
Get the Recipe
Justin Timberlake: A wildly popular Mouseketeer, this national treasure started his career carrying on the decades-old traditions of Annette Funicello. He was a teenage heartthrob with (regrettably) frosted hair and the indisputable leader of a boy band revolution. While other teen pop icons fell by the wayside or combusted before our very eyes, he blossomed into a dapper, tuxedo-clad gentleman, proving himself as an actor, funny guy, and dude who can seriously cut a rug while hitting a falsetto high note.
And if anyone has ever dared to doubt JT's status as a modern day renaissance man and all-American boy, look no further than the recently publicity surrounding his status as budding baker and pie aficionado. Not only does Mr. Timberlake apparently know his way around a rolling pin, he learned all his skills from helping his grandmother, Sadie, in the kitchen. (Insert a collective, "aw!" here.) According to lore, one of Justin's specialties is a three layer pie, which he adapted from his grandmother's traditional chocolate into a butterscotch treat. While my three layer maple butterscotch pie may not have the Timberlake stamp of approval, the combination of butterscotch, maple, and walnut is sure to satisfy anyone down in the dumps about missing a cabne a sucre fete.
(Also, Justin, if you're reading this, I'd be more than happy to swap recipe cards with you any time.)
When making the baked layer of a three layer pie, constant stirring is key to ensuring that the mixture doesn't begin to burn or darken too quickly in spots: a uniform, caramel color is the desired result. A double boiler could be used instead of a small saucepan if your stove top has a tendency to heat unevenly, or if you'd like to take extra care not to burn the filling.
Once the first layer has baked, waiting for it to cool completely is crucial to the pie's success. I was incredibly impatient during my first attempt at making this pie and I waited for it to only partially cool, which resulted in the second layer oozing into a maple mess. In order to be safe, double your regular cooling time.
The true pièce de résistance within this pie is the black walnut whipped cream. While it may take some hunting to find walnut extract (you can also purchase it online here), the nutty bite and unexpected earthy undertone it adds to an otherwise incredibly sweet pie ensures a proper balancing act of flavors, and helps to pick up the traces of walnut in the pie crust.
While most pies are best within a couple of days of baking, this pie is absolutely at its peak on the day of creation, so don't feel guilty about taking that extra helping.

Extra-curricular activities are as much a part of a well-rounded education as the academic spectrum. This premise is true not only at the high school level but at the post-secondary level as well. Clubs, honor societies, field trips, and other activities provide students with peer interaction and leadership opportunities that cannot be replicated in the classroom. Students at School for Advanced Studies have a healthy array of activities available involving many different interests. Some activities – college tours, major field trips, picnics, prom, Grad Nite, dances, Senior Brunch -- include all sites of SAS. Clubs and honor societies, on the other hand, vary from campus to campus, reflecting the varied interests represented at each given site.
SAS organizes at least two college tours per year that generate a great deal of student interest. In the fall we tour the Northeast and the magnificent Ivy League schools located in this region. We visit the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Columbia University or New York University, Yale University, Brown University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University. The purpose of this tour is to de-mystify the idea of Ivy League schools and to encourage our students to apply to these world-renowned institutions. As the admissions officer at Harvard kept repeating, "Why not apply to Harvard? Give it a shot."
In the spring we tour five of the most popular public universities in the State of Florida. We visit the University of South Florida, the University of Central Florida, Florida State University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, and the University of Florida. While these schools are not the only public universities in the state, they are the state schools that our students find most desirable. It is always a good idea for prospective students to visit their schools of choice.
On a lighter note, we try to blow off a little steam each year before winter break. What better way to celebrate the successful completion of the college semester than by streaking down metal rails at breakneck speed with wind in one's hair. On the day before winter break, the entire school packs up and visits either Busch Gardens or Islands of Adventure. For those students who cling to their academics, this field trip is an excellent opportunity to study real world applications of physical laws such as gravitational, centripetal, and centrifugal forces.

The Large Hadron, you may remember, is the 17-mile-long particle accelerator being built near Geneva. Once it's up and running, its designers believe it will take particle physics research to a whole new level. Its critics think it may create a black hole that will swallow up the universe. This is what is known as a wide range of possibilities.
I am bringing this up now because it is always important to remember that things could be worse. You may be worried about a new cold war or a major bank failure, or afraid of losing your job or your house or your credit rating. You may be depressed by your first look at the fall TV schedule.
Whatever your concerns, it is important, in these dark moments, to remember that other people have been having a worse summer than you. To name just a few: John Edwards, the mayor of Detroit and all the people involved in the making of "The Love Guru."
Perspective is all. If you're going to fret, I say, fret about that black hole. For one thing, it makes it much easier to schedule unpleasant tasks for the second half of September. Heads, the planet survives. Tails, the root canal never happens.
– Gail Collins, "Digging Ourselves A Black Hole", NYT, 23 Aug 2008

It's been quite a day here in Orlando at BlackBerry World™ 2012! The keynote general sessions for both BlackBerry World and BlackBerry® 10 Jam were held here at the Marriott World Center this morning, and we've compiled the highlights here for you to get the full scoop.
BlackBerry 10 Concept Previews and App Demos
In an exciting hint of what's to come in BlackBerry 10, Thorsten Heins shared the vision for the future of the BlackBerry 10 platform to be released in the latter part of this year. Check out a video of the sneak peek that we shared earlier today, including a live taste of BlackBerry 10 software presented by Vivek.
BlackBerry 10 isn't just about a smartphone, rather, it's a mobile computing engine that's being developed to enable a robust BlackBerry® ecosystem of devices, homes, cars, and future systems. To reinforce our commitment to launching BlackBerry 10 with fantastic customer experiences, several app demonstrations were shared during the BlackBerry World 2012 keynote to exemplify the work that's already in progress. Check out the videos below to see the individual demonstrations:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
BlackBerry 10 developer tools, including the Native SDK, BlackBerry 10 WebWorks, and Cascades, have been provided to developers over at BlackBerry 10 Jam. Additionally, they've been provided with Dev Alpha prototype devices (which are in no way representational of final BlackBerry 10 hardware or software) in order to work towards a rich app experience at launch.
What BlackBerry Means to You
During his portion of the keynote, Thorsten spoke specifically on what BlackBerry means to you; how it helps to make you successful and reach across your wide array of networks and relationships. He referred to the BlackBerry DNA, and how RIM as a company is laser-focused on enabling individuals and business to succeed with highly functional and highly intuitive mobile solutions – with this focus embodied and uplifted by the work being done on the BlackBerry 10 platform.

Perhaps you hadn't thought about Filters Fast as the place to buy your mom that special gift that says "I love you." But, we do carry a few items that are practical and will manage to make mom feel extra-special too. Even if you don't buy one of these in time for Mother's Day this year, there's always her birthday, Christmas, next Mother's Day, or even "just because."
1. PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Silver Faucet Water Filter
This faucet filter removes or reduces lead, mercury, sediment, dirt, microbial cysts, and the bad taste and odor of chlorine. A stainless steel finish makes it the perfect addition to mom's kitchen, and best of all, installation is easy. Simply snap the PUR 3-Stage faucet-mount filter onto your faucet with just one click. No messy, under sink installation for dad this Mother's Day.
2. Mavea Elemaris Filtered Water Pitcher
Recently dubbed "the sexiest water filtration pitcher in town," the Mavea Elemaris filtered water pitcher has a soft, rubber grip handle and a sleek look that is perfect for entertaining guests, while providing fresh filtered water, free from contaminants like chlorine, mercury, copper, benzine, atrazine, limescale, rust and more. This is one gift that mom will use over and over again.
As we stated in a recent post, reusable water bottles are the perfect active wear fashion accessory. Besides that, they will help mom save money that she'd otherwise spend on single-use, plastic bottled water. A Klean Kanteen filled with already-filtered tap water, or a Brita bottle that comes with a built-in filter are the perfect gifts for moms who are constantly on-the-go.
4. Sprite Shower Falls Multi-Position Filtered Shower Head
Sprite is known for manufacturing some of the highest-quality water filters, and this particular filtered shower head not only reduces harmful chlorine; it features a beautiful chrome finish along with a 5-way massaging spray. Here is a gift that encourages relaxation and good health, all in one system.
5. Rainshow'r Gard'n Gro Garden Filter System
Help mom out with her garden this summer with a Rainshow'r Gard'n Gro Water Filter System. This non-toxic dechlorinator promotes healthy plant growth and nutrition by removing harsh, toxic chlorine from your water, before it reaches your plants. Those garden-fresh tomatoes, squash and zucchini will be better than ever, this year.
6. A Year's Supply of Filters Fast Air Filters
Has mom been suffering from allergies this spring? A 6-pack of Filters Fast 1″ MERV 13 air filters will efficiently improve indoor air quality for at least an entire year. Give mom a gift that will last through next Mother's Day.
This is one set of products that many people don't know we carry. In fact, it's one of the most neglected items in the home, as most people do not even turn on their microwave & hood range vents while cooking. Even if they do, the filter likely hasn't been cleaned or replaced in quite some time. To learn more about the necessity for range hood filters, check out this post we did last year. In the meantime, mom's microwave filter probably needs replacing, so buy her a new one from Filters Fast.
All the moms out there: which one of these items says I love you, best?

" Great place and they have washed my car every time I have been there for service. "
Great service.
" Came in for tires and routine maintenance. ANTHONY was fantastic. Knowledgeable and courteous. Car was ready when promised. Fair pricing by technicians who know what they are doing and get it right the first time. "
Tyrone Square Mazda
" Everything OK. All items were explained very well to me. "
"Great follow through long after the sale"
" I have purchased 2 vehicles from Tyrone Square Mazda in 4 years. Darius was my original sales person and has since moved into management. The staff is friendly and make you feel like family. No pressure and straight forward answers. They follow-up with emails and communication after the sale to be sure you are happy and to see if there is anything you need. I continue to use them for servicing my vehicle even though it is nearly an hour drive for me to get there. I love the service coordinators. Marlena has always been great. Recent visit I was with Anthony G. He went above and beyond and made me feel like an important part of the Tyrone Square Mazda family. "
Tyrone Square Car Service
" As alway, Mario and his staff did a great job of servicing my Mazda CX5. Chris Kelly kept me informed on the progress of my service. Since we are living in the world of COVID-19, the staff at Tyrone Square Mazda really had everything setup so you felt secure at the facility. Hope everything gets back to normal for everyone soon. "
" I was concerned about getting my car serviced during the pandemic but Mazda was great! They met me outside where I dropped off the car. I brought a lawn chair and waited on the lawn until they texted me my car was ready. They made it as easy and safe as possible. Great job team! "
" A big shout out to Tyrone Square Mazda's Service Department's Anthony Gomez! I was visiting my 'snow-bird' mom and happened to notice her Mazda's tire had a bubble. Only issue, I was catching a flight later that day...and we are in the midst of a world crisis with the coronavirus. Anthony and his service tech took wonderful care of my situation in short order taking into account my time constraint. The dealership also made all their customers feel safe and secure with plenty of hand sanitizer and social distancing measures in place. Thank you Anthony for allowing me peace of mind for my mother's safety before heading back north. Highly recommend this business. "
" Very professional and very friendly. So far my repairs have been working just fine. "
Great People, Great Service!
" Tyrone Mazda offers beautiful, reliable vehicles, but the most exceptional thing about the dealership is the people it employs and the service they provide. They don't just talk about customer service, they demonstrate it on the sales floor and in the service department. We recently leased a CX-9 from Tyrone Mazda, and two days after we drove it home, the dealership contacted us and said they could offer us a better lease rate that would reduce our monthly payment. Who does that? "
" They were friendly, knowledgeable, and professiona . The service department was very clea . They got me on and out of there in no time at all. "
Nice experience

" 3\16\20 My wife and I have 4 children and we have been cramming into a grand Marquis for over year due in part to a bad experience we had at this lot before. But Amy came along and renewed our faith in Tyrone Mazda. Amy Potter reached out to me 30 minutes after putting my interest in for the car. She helped move the process along even when we had a hiccup. She stayed late until we were done even when she was cleared to leave. Thank you for rooting for us and being so personal and just Awesome. Making our car buying experience better. "
" Was purchasing my first car on my own and knew I liked the Mazda CX-5 so I went into Tyrone Square for a test drive and Sam G greeted us upon arrival. Very helpful and easy going! Didn't plan on purchasing that day, but was very happy with the car and all of Sam's help. Would definitely recommend! "
" Just bought a "new" MX5 GT that had protective plastic covering all over the seats... even on the wheels! Dariusz, Sam, and Brandon are the Holy Trinity of car buying experience. Thanks guys!!! "
" Alan Brooks very professional gentleman selling me a new lease on my 2020 Mazda 3. Nice doing business with him. He is a keeper. A satisfied customer Sally Seagrove "
" Chris Kelly was exceptional. Very thorough and explained everything. Definitely will ask for him again! "
" Nicely done...BTW, I tried THREE times to submit this survey, each time had to redo it due to blanks. The service was excellent but his survey became increasingly frustrating! "
Matt Bartolo is the reason
" Matt Bartolo has been a great asset to your team, excellent customer service and he takes care of the customer, please realize the value he brings to Mario and the service team, he is the reason I keep coming back to Tyrone Mazda, yeah it's a little more expensive to go to the dealer for service, but I know my car is going to be fixed correctly the first time and i know I will be taken care of by Matt and the service team, thank you "

" Hollis Cannon made our truck buying experience extremely painless. He found a truck in our budget, gave the finance manager a heads up on what we did and didn't want and got us out in just over an hour. I have never spent less than half a day buying a vehicle. Hollis and Tryone Mazda made truck buying easy again!! "
" Thanks to Hollis Cannon for a painless transaction on a used truck! Everything went smooth as silk and we were out the door in no time! "
Mazda has true integrity!
" Chris was very well mannered and all was done quickly and with no fuss. In the future, I will have Mazda take care of all of my car's needs as I was very impressed. "
" Absolutely superior service by Matthew Geno in my recent leasing of a MazdaCX5GT. He made sure my exact requirements for a vehicle were met precisely. He was also ably assisted by Mr Dariusz Chrzanowski. I highly recommend these two individuals to handle your vehicle needs. They know their business and insure the customer is treated in an excellent and fair manner. "
