Women derailing own relationships
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2008 at 5:13 p.m.
I am perplexed by some of us ladies. The same women who desire so desperately to be loved and adored by a man do everything in their power to turn the men in their lives off from them.
I know women who are intelligent, beautiful, spiritual, own their own house(s), own their own car(s), shop til they drop with their own money, and vacation in the nicest spots on earth on their own dime.
As much as these women have going for themselves, we have one conversation and one conversation only. This conversation starts off with their usual recounting of their latest accomplishment, immediately followed by their informing me of their latest career-based challenge, only to be cut short by them abruptly exclaiming, Where are all the good men at?
This column is dedicated to my sisters who suffer from what I term the Independent Woman Complex, or IWC for short. A woman with IWC has many symptoms, including being obsessed with making a name for herself, being overly absorbed with the acquisition of material possessions, and being overly paranoid at the prospect of falling victim to a man by allowing him to meet some of her basic needs (i.e. food, shelter, clothing, etc.)
IWC has a number of causes, but it is primarily rooted in insecurity. This insecurity can be caused by a bad relationship, or it can be caused by a traumatic childhood.
Regardless of the cause, women who suffer from it become their own worst enemy when it comes to successful relationships. The reason is quite simple actually to be independent is to be counter to the very nature of a relationship.
In the IWC world, a man is just a placeholder, filling a role that is not needed or desired. To the independent woman, a man is not needed because she can do everything he can do, only better and with fewer headaches.
As a result, independent women rarely have a good relationship because relationships are based on dependence, NOT independence.
Ladies, if you consider yourself an independent woman, what do you want a relationship for? If you do not need a man for any reason other than to have a good time, you should not be surprised when all he wants is a good time from you.
When you are independent, you have no need for him to appreciate you, validate you, compliment you, or value you in anyway. A true independent person is neither made happy nor sad by the presence or absence of someone else.
If you do not fall into this category, stop calling yourself independent. If you feel bad when he does not call, or if you get excited when he does, you are a DEPENDENT WOMAN, and that is quite all right!
Glorifying the idea of an independent woman has left many sisters just that independent. We cannot be surprised, outraged, or disappointed when a brother is seeing a woman of another hue when we do everything in our power not to need him.
All the women who ARE DEPENDENT, throw your hands up at me!

A paper published by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), "The Climate Deception Dossiers," reveals decades of corporate misinformation campaigns by the fossil fuel industry. The paper focuses on seven deception dossiers, or collections containing nearly 85 internal company and trade association documents that have either been leaked to the public, come to light through lawsuits, or been disclosed through Freedom of Information Act requests.
The authors say that many call climate change a hoax, including U.S. Senator James Inhofe who is now chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. However, write the authors, the biggest climate hoax is continuing today and that is, "…the decades long campaign by a handful of the world's largest fossil fuel companies – such as Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy – to deceive the American public by distorting the realities and risks of climate change, something acting directly and sometimes acting indirectly through trade associations and front groups."
The authors continue that that deception dossiers tell an undeniable truth, "…that for nearly three decades, major fossil fuel companies have knowingly worked to distort climate science findings, deceive the public, and block policies designed to hasten our needed transition to a clean energy economy."
So what do we learn?
- Fossil Fuel companies have intentionally spread climate disinformation for decades.
- Fossil fuel company leaders knew that their products were harmful to people and the planet but still chose to actively deceive the public and deny this harm.
- The campaign of deception continues today.
The authors write that while many fossil fuel companies acknowledge the main findings of climate science, some still continue to support groups that spread misinformation about climate science and policy. Some of these front groups include: Heartland Institute, Americans for Prosperity, and the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. The authors say these groups, along with industry trade associations such as American Petroleum Institute (API), American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE). The fossil fuel industry also uses a host of fake grassroots organizations such as Fed Up at the Pump and Oregonians for Sound Fuel Policy to fight against legislation such as the Clean Power Plan and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

Cost-Competitive CCS 'Possible in UK by 2020s'
Gas and coal power plants equipped with carbon capture, transport and storage technology have the potential to be cost competitive with other low-carbon power generation in the UK by the early 2020s, according to a government task force report.
The CCS Cost Reduction Task Force's final report says power plants with CCS technology could deliver electricity at a levelized cost approaching £100 ($152) per MWh by the early 2020s, and at a cost significantly below £100 per MWh soon thereafter.
The report says seven key steps are required to be cost-competitive, such as identifying and planning the best future configuration of CO2 storage hubs and related pipeline networks, and creating a tax system in the UK that provides incentives to develop brownfield CO2 enhanced oil recovery.
The task force also recommends developing policy and financing regimes for CCS from industrial CO2; creating an industry-led vision of how phases of CCS projects can be developed and financed; focusing on how to construct contracts to make follow-on CCS projects bankable; and ensuring funding mechanisms are suitable for these types of projects.
Earlier this month, Air Products began operation of a US Department of Energy demonstration project that will capture about 1 million tons of CO2 in an enhanced oil recovery development in Texas.
Air Products' carbon capture project in Port Arthur, Texas, recovers and purifies carbon dioxide from steam methane reformers located within Valero's Port Arthur refinery. The CO2 is then transported in its gaseous state by Air Products via a pipeline owned by Denbury Green Pipeline-Texas for injection into the Denbury Onshore operated West Hastings Unit, an enhanced oil recovery project in Texas that then pumps the gas into disused oil wells in a bid to recover oil.
Aker Solutions this week announced it has won a contract to perform the world's first tests for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a cement production plant. The CO2 technology company won the award from Norcem, in cooperation with the European Cement Research Academy (ECRA).

I have been playing chess for 20 years and just now started studying openings. I learned opening principles in a beginner chess book. I learned from play over the years to. I very rarely got caught in traps or put in bad positions even though these people probably knew and study the openings.
So, go to the library , watch videos, read a book what ever you want but it needs to be about principles in the opening.
Controlling the center development King safety etcetera.
You talk like you understand chess if so these questions would be answered and you would know already.
You can't spell a word if you don't know the alphabet.
Very clear and helpful video. Thank you!
Only thing I would have liked is to understand from the video is why Nxe3 won the game; it might be trivial for you, but we, your students, are not so able to see the tactic. Even Capablanca missed it, so please always make explicit what you understand. Anyway, I understand it now from the comments "(White's rook drops off after 32... Nxe333. Qxd5Rxd534. fxe3Bxe3+. )".
Great Video and advice Thank You
Thanks Coach ;)
Thank you coach Melik
Thank you for this video...as a begginer in chess this is very helpful advice.
I liked it too, thanks.
Also, thank you for your series recommendation. I will definitely check it out. Happy playing, friend!
Right, but how did those openings come to be? In no small part were they developed and refined by brilliant chess players who already had a great aptitude for studdying chess positions (i.e. evaluation and planning... even for the beginning position). Yes, I understand, those opening videos are essential. Especially in order to avoid traps and other little things that have been discovered by further study and gameplay. However, what do you think they are based on? Much of the same stuff discussed here.
Do you think that Robert Boyle woke up one morning and exclaimed, "aha! PV=k!" No. That's ridulous. There's a reason why he was able to come up with that... studies and a basic understanding of the relationships between pressure, volume, temperature, and mass. In this series, we look at the relationships between "the Seven Elements of Evaluation":
Though perhaps they didn't have the same list or catchy name at the time, the people who came up with today's popular openings and their variations were using these same principles in developing them, were they not?
This video is not meant to teach opening theory, but positional analysis. Basically it teaches the middlegame after the book moves have been made.
There are several videos on openings. For example, do a video search on the keyword "nemesis". There are many fine videos on specific openings -- Pirc, King's Indian, etc.
Videos like these help me a lot. I am currently a 1500s player. I try to study openings by first watching videos that cover the most popular lines. Obviously, if I'm watching an intro video to a common opening, I'm probably not all that advanced. However, the videos often make you mostly rely on memorization instead of understanding. Sometimes, the commentator will even say things like, "clearly improving the position." Not so clearly to me! It would be easier for me to remember "what" if I can understand "why." Plus, I might know what to look for when someone deviates from the expected moves. It's like memorizing a math equation without understanding it. If you don't understand it, you will struggle with the word problems, or, as I call them, real world problems. Over-the-board chess is full of "real world" chess problems. Thank you.
Can you do a video on Pown Structure? I would think this would help me out a lot?
after rook to c4.if bishop to e2 what will black do?move back or sacrfice
the exchange?
Thank you for the vedio GM Khachiyan. I learned new principles for Planning and Evaluation from this vedio.
Good video, but it would have been interstingl to discuss what would have happened after the suggested Nb3 (by instead of Bg3 as played Capa) if black had tried ...Rc3 Rc3 Nd5. I'm a 2000 player, but I had to set the position up on Chessbase and run Houdini to see clearly to the end
When opponent does 7... a6 8. c5 is a good response (see Epishin v. Ziatdinov, Philadelphia 1997 and Kotronias-Goldin, Sochi 1989)
Thank you o great master
Thank you for your clarity of thought and excellent presentation!
Some additional explanations: the game Capablanca-Alekhine analysing by Neil McDonald from his book "Chess Secrets: The Giants of Power Play"
I am only a 900 player so still a beginner, but its only thorugh the application of insights such as the 7 principles that i will ever progress. Very insightful. It reminds me of similar instruction that Jeremy Silman includes in his approach e.g. searching for imbalances, etc. I recommend Silman's books to any beginner. You will see that its a tool to assist you in evaluating positions. Thanks again GM Khachiyan.

How many of the Seven Wonders of the World can you name? It doesn't matter - what GM Khachiyan wants more is for you to know the Seven Elements of Evaluation.

We study the impact of network load in the neighboring sectors on the inter-cell interference in a cellular data network. The signal received by a user over the forward link in such a system contains interference from the neighboring base stations. We note that the strength of this interference is a function of the network load in the neighboring cells. We obtain an expression for the received SINR (signal to interference and noise ratio) as a function of the traffic load in the interfering cells. Using this result, we propose an improvement to the conservative pilot-based SINR estimation scheme that is implemented in the current cellular data networks. The proposed scheme provides a more accurate estimate of the user SINR by taking better account of the contribution of inter-cell interference. It builds on top of the current SINR measurement scheme by using a combination of pilot measurement and traffic load measurement. With the proposed scheme, a terminal reports a less conservative data rate, and hence it receives a higher throughput. The scheme especially benefits the "poor" users, i.e., the users that receive low throughput because they are located far from the base station. For example, when the network load in the neighboring sectors is 0.5, with the proposed scheme, the throughput received by a single vehicular user located about three-fourth of the way between the serving base station and the cell boundary, is about 35% higher than the throughput obtained using the scheme that is used in current practice

Cincinnati Reds: What went wrong in 2015?
It's probably an understatement to say that the 2015 season did not go well for the Cincinnati Reds. With a 64-98 record, the Reds were the second-worst team in baseball and finished last in their division for the first time since 1983. To finish the season, the Reds lost 14 of their final 15 games, which included a 13-game losing streak. All of this occurred with a seemingly solid...

Reds lose 98 games, short-term future looks bleak
CINCINNATI (AP) Todd Frazier summed up the Reds' worst season in 33 years with two familiar words. ''I'd say: `Rainy day,''' the All-Star Home Run Derby champion said. ''Nobody likes a rainy day. We had a lot of rain delays. A lot of tough days this year trying to put things together.'' Cincinnati fans will remember only one thing fondly about the season: The city hosted the All...

Kids mourn the month of back-to-school, but parents rejoice for many reasons, not the least of which is tax-free weekends. Tax-free weekends are happening in many states, and if you're looking for great deals in August, you can't do better than scoring a great deal and getting it tax-free. Here are the deals to grab: (Reducing the amount you spend is the easiest way to make your money grow. See 5 Money-Saving Shopping Tips.)
TUTORIAL: Introduction To Accounting
Computers, Phones and Things Technological
College-bound students no longer find the simple notebook adequate. Students of any level find supplies like three-ring binders rather quaint in favor of laptops, notebooks and the like. Some tech-related deals are exclusively for said students, and without proof of your student status, you're out of luck (Apple's $100 gift card, for example, or Microsoft's Xbox giveaway).
However, many other deals can be yours whether you're a student or not. Peruse the shelves of mega-electronics stores and you'll see discounts on phones, laptops, desktop computers, software and accessories.
Home Furnishings
Major retailers such as Walmart, Target, Homegoods, and Bed, Bath and Beyond usually serve up big end-of-summer sales on anything and everything a college student might want to tote off to make a dorm room feel like home. You can find discounts on kitchen basics and dishes, sheets and towels, and low-key furnishings such as end tables, futons, and computer desks.
Don't expect to score luxury goods in these discounts. Retailers are aiming at college students, most of whom won't have a large budget for high-thread-count sheets or designer serving platters. If you're looking for a nice deal on some basic home inventory, August is a good month to go shopping.
The dog days of summer aren't when most of us want to tackle a big landscaping project or design a new flower bed. Spring is when we get planting fever, and it's also when we pay a premium to buy our fresh little seedlings and perky perennials. Wait until August, though, and you can find some major mark-downs on retailers trying to move the rest of their green inventory.
August is also a good time to look for deals on the actual work of landscaping. Many landscapers and professional lawn care companies find it a slow time: dryer, hotter weather in some areas means less mowing and trimming work. The spring fervor is gone, and most areas aren't into the leaf season yet. If you don't find the deals advertised, call your favorite lawn care or landscaping company and ask.
Vacations in the Caribbean
Farnoosh Torabi of CBS's MoneyWatch says that "trips to Jamaica, Bahamas and Bermuda are also on sale, with hurricane season under way this month." If you do take advantage of lower rates to visit a Caribbean destination on the cheap, Torabi recommends putting a little of your savings into travel insurance.
Hotel Stays
According to Torabi, another August deal can help you out with trips a little closer to home: hotels experience less business travel, so hotel stays can be discounted. If you've been wanting to take a little weekend getaway or even just a night away from home in your own city, August could be a great month to do so. The start of school means fewer folks out on school nights and less travel for most families, so many attractions will have smaller crowds.
All Things Summer
Since August signals the official beginning of the school season, it also signals the official end of summer vacation, never mind if temperatures still hover up near the top of the thermostat. Retailers will be marking down summer staples, from kiddie pools and sidewalk chalk to beach towels, bug spray, and patio furniture.
You can take advantage of the discounts to stock up for next summer (you can never have too many tiki torches!) or get that new set of furniture for the deck while the price is low.
The Bottom Line
Whatever you plan to buy, it pays to do a bit of comparison shopping. Pre-shop on the internet to compare prices and make sure you're getting the best deal before you buy. A bright sticker doesn't always mean a lower price. (Shopping from the comfort of your couch has major benefits, and some unpleasant side effects. Check out Shopping Online: Convenience, Bargains And A Few Scams.)

GrowNYC recently released The New Greenmarket Cookbook by Gabrielle Langholtz, a collection of one hundred seasonal recipes from today's top chefs and culinary minds. In light of this exciting occasion, Hyatt Union Square New York is celebrating its neighbor with The Greenmarket Experience. Guests who book this experience package will receive a robust sampling of, and introduction to, what this beloved green oasis in the heart of Manhattan has to offer.
Guests will receive:
This package has been carefully curated to demonstrate the hotel's alignment with the GrowNYC initiatives, which include supporting family farms, farmers, markets, gardens, recycling, and education.
Going to a friend or relative's house for Thanksgiving and need to take a gift? Did you agree to bring a dish and then realized you don't have enough time to cook? Look no further than your neighborhood Greenmarket for all your Thanksgiving gifts for hosts! Here are a few ideas:
A bouquet of flowers, dried and fresh. Showing up with an arm full of flowers is never unwelcome. And, if they're dried, it's a gift that will last for months.
A jar of delicious, flavored whipped honey. Orange blossom and apple cinnamon are two of our favorites and whipped honey is a perfect consistency for those Thanksgiving rolls.
Soap and lip balm from Nature's Way Farm. Made from honey, there are so many incredible scents and flavors to choose from. Heading into winter, these gifts are especially useful to protect your host's skin and lips. Plus, Nature's Way makes kids' soaps that are just adorable (hint: they have toys in them).
Tweefontein Herb Farm has amazing salves, herbal rubs, fire cider, lotions, and many more items that are perfect for that host that loves unique gifts.
Jams, preserves, pickles and jellies from Berkshire Berries, Josephine's Feast, Rick's Picks, and Beth's Farm Kitchen. Each producer sells very original spreads and preserves that are sure to please everyone. Plus, they travel well.
Maple syrup. Or maple cream. Or maple candy. Or maple cotton candy. Or maple popcorn. If it's maple, chances are we have a producer that sells it at your neighborhood Greenmarket. Plus, who doesn't want some pancakes on Friday morning after Thanksgiving?
Booze. Greenmarket has a number of wine and hard cider producers, as well as Brooklyn Brewery's Greenmarket Wheat beer (available at the Union Square Greenmarket Saturdays) and Orange County Distillery's corn whiskey, sugar beet vodka and bourbon whiskey. The cook always needs a drink.
Don't have time to bake a dessert? Pick one up at one of our many bakeries who will all be selling Thanksgiving-themed pies. Food restrictions? Many of our bakers have vegan and gluten-free desserts.
Are you going to a non-traditional Thanksgiving? Or need a non-traditional gift? Then take along The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce, The New Greenmarket Cookbook (perhaps to serve as some inspiration for your host for next year's menu), or a snazzy GrowNYC apron. The cookbook is available at a number of Greenmarkets around the city, and the apron and hot sauce (along with the cookbook) are available at Union Square Wednesdays and Saturdays.
We hope you've found some inspiration from this list. We'd love to see what you've picked up from market, too. Just take a picture and Instagram it. Make sure to use #GMKTthanksgiving!
Have an incredible Thanksgiving. We know your hosts will love anything you bring them, especially if it's from Greenmarket.
Greenmarket is partnering with City Harvest and other local food rescue organizations to help feed New York City's hungry men, women, and children this Thanksgiving.
At the markets listed below, buy an extra bag of fresh produce while you shop and donate it at the Market Information tent.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Do you have any idea what goes into raising a turkey? When talking about the birds that have become so synonymous with this time of year, we realized we didn't know much, either. Luckily, we have access to some of the best turkey farmers in the region, so we rushed right over to Zaid Kurdieh of Norwich Meadows Farm and Maria Quattro of Quattro's Game Farm to learn exactly what goes into raising the centerpiece of many Thanksgiving tables.
For Quattro's Game Farm, everything starts from the egg. They keep their favorite birds from the past year and mate them, selecting the eggs that will go on to be the next year's Thanksgiving turkeys. The eggs are then incubated, hatched, raised, and processed on the farm. Norwich Meadows Farm also raises and processes on the farm, but buys their turkeys when they're poults, getting them when they're newly hatched and raising them from there and from what we've heard, raising turkeys is a lot of work. A friend of Zaid's warned him when he first started to raise turkeys that "a turkey in its first few weeks of life is just looking for a place to die." Sounds harsh but, in fact, during those first couple of weeks, the farmers have to keep a constant eye on the poults – ensuring they eat their food, making sure they don't drown in their drinking water, and preventing them from commingling with the chickens. Unfortunately, even with keeping a constant eye on them, a lot of them still won't make it. This year, Zaid started with around 190 poults and will be processing around 140.
After four weeks, the critical time for a poult has passed and the turkeys are much more independent, although the farmers can't relax too much. Turkeys are feisty creatures that have a herd mentality and have been known to take down electric fences without too much effort, electric jolts and all. Plus, heritage breeds and wild turkeys fly (domestic ones, not so much). Not far, mind you, but they still fly. It is for this reason that Zaid only raises domestic turkeys. He doesn't want his turkeys to fly off his property and onto a nearby road where they could get hit by a car. Quattro's raises domestic, heritage, and wild turkeys but they also have a lot of property and are not as worried about them getting hit by cars. They do, however, end up picking them up from neighboring farms fairly regularly. In fact, on the day we spoke with Maria she told us the heritage turkeys had once again made their way onto their neighbor's farm and her father had gone to retrieve them. I guess we can't blame the birds for wanting to spread their wings a little bit!
After they've hatched and lived through the early weeks, eaten well, roamed freely while avoiding colliding with a car or being eaten by a predator and are generally speaking, happy and healthy, it's time for processing and delivery to New York City Greenmarkets. Both Quattro's and Norwich Meadows have on-farm processing and control the process from start to finish. Quattro's is a much larger operation than Norwich Meadows and raises around 400 turkeys so it can sometimes take a few days to finish processing them all. Norwich Meadows processes far fewer turkeys but they are also Halal, so only Zaid can process the turkeys. It takes him at least a day to get through all of them. Then comes the plucking, the cleaning, and the packaging.
As you can see, there is a lot of hard work that goes into raising and processing each of these birds but it is all worth it for these farmers so you can have the best tasting bird out there on your table. The turkeys Greenmarket farmers sell you have lived healthy, well-fed, wandering-outside-in-the-sunshine kind of lives, and they undoubtedly taste better for all of those reasons. Plus, it's pretty great to know that the turkey you enjoy on Thanksgiving was raised and processed by the same person that sold it to you. You can ask the farmers questions about exactly how the turkeys were raised, what kind of food they ate, and even hear fun stories about the turkeys roaming (or flying) free and they'll know the answers. When you buy directly from a local, family farm, you know they care and want the best not only for their turkeys but also for their customers.
We'd be remiss to leave out how Zaid and Maria celebrate Thanksgiving on the farm. Zaid takes one of his birds to his sister's house, where she cooks it the traditional method by roasting it in the oven. Turkey isn't too common in Middle Eastern culture (Zaid's mother is American and his father is Palestinian), but they still eat it once a year on Thanksgiving. Maria's grandmother, Carmella (the owner of the farm), has cooked Thanksgiving turkeys for years so it's just second nature to her. She stuffs the turkey and roasts it. One thing she doesn't do? Brine her turkeys. Maria explained that the salt in the brine gets into the meat and masks the natural flavor of the turkey. "If you're paying for these delicious turkeys, why would you want to hide the flavor?" Maria asked.
As we all sit down with our family and friends to celebrate around nature's delicious fall bounty, let us all remember to be thankful for our farmers and the hours they toil each year to bring us city dwellers fresh, delicious, healthy food. We're also pretty grateful we're not going to get a call from the neighbor during dinner to come pick up a wayward flock of turkeys!

This is a momentous year for GrowNYC. Our gardens have released their very own product, aptly named "The Bronx Hot Sauce," which hit shelves late last month. The fiery green condiment was concocted by acclaimed chef King Phojanakong, a native of the borough - just like the serrano peppers the sauce is made of.
Packaged by Farm to Table Co-Packers and wrapped in a sticker designed by John Jaxheimer, the sauce is the result of GrowNYC's collaboration with Small Axe Peppers, who donated 3,500 pepper seedlings earlier this year, and R&R Produce Farms, who augmented the supply for peppers needed for the first production of the hot sauce. R&R Produce Farms happens to be one of our FARMroots program's most notable success stories (the program provides training and support for recent immigrants looking to farm in the Northeast).
With the fiery contents of this five ounce glass bottle, the Bronx officially asserts itself as the next big culinary destination for local food in the five boroughs. "I'm thrilled to see our developers and community gardens join together on this wonderful venture," said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. "The Bronx has an amazing food culture, and 'The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce' will only add to the great flavors our borough produces each and every day. GrowNYC and Small Axe Peppers have developed a product that not only tastes great, but also supports our local community gardens. That's a 'win-win' for our borough, and I hope epicureans from all over the region enjoy our borough's latest food creation." Hooray for the Bronx!
Moreover, the funds from The Bronx Hot Sauce sales will go right back to maintaining and developing our local gardens - in one delicious, sustainable cycle. We are proud of our gardens and everyone who has worked hard to make this product a reality. "GrowNYC's Greenmarkets have always been the best source for locally grown food fresh from the farm," says our Executive Director Marcel Van Ooyen. "Now, through this partnership with Small Axe Peppers, we are furthering our support of local farmers by purchasing their products and turning them into a delicious hot sauce that can be enjoyed by all New Yorkers."
We hope you grab your own bottle of The Bronx Hot Sauce and try it on a recipe soon. It's sure to warm you right up this winter! You can find The Bronx Hot Sauce in these locations, with many more to come:
Learn more about the hot sauce at: www.BronxHotSauce.com

With Halloween 2014 coming on the heels of the BoxTrolls movie, recycled (and recyclable) cardboard costumes are sure to be in high demand. Even if you won't be creating one of these characters, we've got great tips for greening this season of ghosts and gourds. * Make crafty trick-or-treat sacks using recyclable paper bags and paper scraps or put removable decorations on tote bags or pillow cases for an extra sturdy, reusable option. Find great ideas for decorations, party planning, costumes and more at planetpals.com.* Create costumes from items you already own and avoid purchasing unnecessary single-use items. Find new-to-you ensembles and donate your old ones at GrowNYC's Halloween Costume Swaps on October 25 and 26 or try your local thrift store for inspiration. Get great recyclable costume ideas for all ages from the Cardboard Costume Challenge and Inhabitots.* When you're finished showing off your costume, recycle it! Use your building's textile bin if you have one or find a Greenmarket collection near you.* Compost your jack-o-lantern in your backyard or curbside collection bin, at a Greenmarket food scrap collection or see if community groups and gardens near you accept scraps for composting. Make it a family affair, complete with snacks, at a Pumpkin Smash 2014 event, sponsored by the NYC Compost Project. * Too much candy? Find a local dentist participating in Halloween Candy Buyback, where kids can get prizes or even cash. Candy is donated to Operation Gratitude, for inclusion in care packages for troops overseas.
At the end of last month, during the busy season at Youthmarket, we visited our Lower East Side Youthmarket which is in partnership with Henry Street Settlement, whose mission is to "open doors of opportunity for Lower East Side residents and other New Yorkers through social services, arts and health care programs." This market is open on Thursdays through November 21st, from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
What is Youthmarket? It is a network of urban farm stands operated by neighborhood youth, supplied by local farmers and designed to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to communities throughout New York City. Youthmarket offers families in NYC increased access to farm fresh food, youth in these areas earn money and learn small-business skills, and farmers in the New York City region continually achieve higher revenue through access to under-served markets.
It was a hot, sunny Thursday afternoon, the type that makes you slow and lethargic, with the heat like an inescapably stifling blanket. But as we approached the Lower East Side Youthmarket on Grand Street, there was no sign that the summer's worst had done its work. There was a flurry of activity. Everywhere else along the block it was empty and quiet, but the farm stand was a hub of lively chatter and busy hands.
We found Phylisha Conyers busily stringing together small cards with vegetable names written on them, to be used as signs indicating the type and cost of produce displayed. She agreed to a quick interview while her hands continued to be productive, without missing a beat.
How did you get involved with GrowNYC's Youthmarket?
I heard about the Youthmarket program from one of my Project RISE supervisors at the Henry Street Settlement. I am working towards getting my diploma there. When I heard about Youthmarket, I thought: "Okay that seems interesting!" I mean this is something I've never done before and I wanted the experience.
I tried it out with my sister, Tiana Conyers, who's in the same program with me. We went to orientation, which was about 9 hours long, but really interesting. So I agreed to join.
What has the experience been like so far?
I've been here since July 10th of this year. It's been really cool. In the beginning it was a bit overwhelming. When we began set up, there were so many people lined up already - we hadn't even started yet! But I figured it out and learned a lot along the way, so the customers are always taken care of. The market is open every Thursday, so you'll find me here!
What is your favorite item on sale here today?
I would have to say…the plums and the kale. The plums are so sweet.
(Phylisha's sister, Tiana Conyers, chimes in) Tiana: Say the peaches. They're better.
Phylisha: I like the plums the best. As for kale, we never tried it before working here, but we recently tried juicing it and it was so good.
Tiana: Also, the corn here is so different from regular supermarket corn. Frozen corn is like dead corn compared to this! One other thing I learned is about carrot tops: you should use them. People often throw them away but I learned we can make delicious pesto with it. We cook together every week. I believe we're doing collard greens today.
In your spare time, what hobbies do you have?
Right now I'm really interested in photography. It would be cool to become a photographer someday. Aside from photography, I also love make-up. I do that for fun, to be creative.
What do you believe is the importance of what you do here?
Reaching out to the community, to people who are struggling, to those who don't have access to things others do - I feel it's so good to help them. People come here and buy their food every week, and it's so good to serve them here on a regular basis. We have friendly customers and I love seeing them.
The Lower East Side Youthmarket is located on Grand Street between Pitt and Willett Streets, Manhattan. It is in operation every Thursday through November 21st, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

What's this? A LiveChat on Thursday? Since when do we do that? We usually save these LiveChats for the weekends! What gives?
Well, we're trying to get as much done before our Singapore trip on Monday. We've been doing some projects on the side, which is why you Martina so did up in this LiveChat. We'll tell you more about it in Singapore! Apart from those projects, though, we also wanted to open up all of these awesome packages you sent us, because we're starting to fall behind and the pile is getting too big to handle in one sitting. So, we're going to be doing another LiveChat this week, probably on Saturday or Sunday. Woohoo!
For the packages we opened this week, though, we'd like to thank:
Emilie from Wisconsin
Alison from Maryland
Antonio from MA (is that Massachusetts?) I don't know.
Megan from Wisconsin
Also, we want to thank you all for hanging out with us during our LiveChats. We think that these LiveChats are lame, and don't know why anyone would want to watch them, but we're constantly amazed at how many of you do hang out with us, so we want to give back, in some small way. We'd like to do small, random giveaways of stuff. Sometimes we'll give away cool things we find in convenience stores, sometimes we'll give away CDs. We're not sure yet. We're not even sure HOW we should give these away during LiveChats. We just wanna, you know, thank you guise, for hanging out with us. You give us energy for the rest of the day. We filmed on set today for over 4 hours, and once we're done this LiveChat, we've got more filming of our own to do. We would normally be drained, but talking with you is gonna get us super pumped and ready to handle the rest of the night. So, thank you!

I really wanna watch it online, but I don't know when you guys have it?
I love your eye makeup in this Martina :)
We're like fwends… you shouldn't bother yourselves with sending stuff to thank us for spending time with you guise… we'll be there either way… right Nasties? guyz?
HM is one freaking awsome clothing store ;)
OMG both of you look so beautiful and great!!!! :D
when martina said it was hot at 26c i felt so soft skined cause anything around 26c and below i have a jumper on
If you guys were to do giveaways, you should do it like the WonderfulTreasureFinds that you used to do i loved those x)
That galactose-intolerance joke was hilarious! Maybe more so for me for nerdy science reasons… *clears throat* Lactose is a disaccharide that is formed when two monosaccharides, galactose and glucose, bond together. So in a way, if you're lactose intolerant, you are galactose intolerant as well. The power of biochemistry…
Hahahahaha I laughed so hard at the glaactose intolerance joke………
"Are those gunshots?" Clearly, for a moment, Simon forgot what country he was in.
Martina, please don't continue to get gel nails. If it's the method of using a file on the nail bed then a few layers of polish sealed with UV light… that can cause infections that can cause you to lose your nail or even fingers. It's really bad for your nails in the first place since the surface of the nail is scratched up – that takes a long time to heal. It's what protects your nails from getting infections.
Any manicure/pedicure leaves a risk for infection. The most common ones are fungal. Those wont lead to the loss of a digit,maybe you'll lose a nail, and (although gross) aren't a huge deal. It's like saying you shouldn't go to college cause you're more likely to get meningitis, or to go out to eat because you might get food poisoning. Most things that make life enjoyable involve some level of risk.
I'm not talking about a small window for a small infection, I'm talking about an extended period with much more risk and serious infection. Gel manicures / false nails are especially bad because of how your nail gets "prepared" through scratching the top layer off. A normal manicure doesn't do this, hence is a lot safer with much less risk. I'm not making a big deal of this for no reason, I'm completely serious. I had a gel manicure only once and it took 3 months for my nails to be healthy again. Imagine if I had gotten an infection from it – you can't see under the polish ( unless it's clear only ), so it can grow there for weeks before you get it taken off and can see what's happening.
Your comparison is ridiculous, who on earth would possibly say "I can't go to college because I might get meningitis"? That's just… utterly stupid.
The best way to avoid possible infections from nail salons is to bring in your own tools and have them use those.
If you're going to bring all your own tools ( and own polish too* ), then you might as well just learn to do them yourself. Or have a friend do it for you, if you really can't get it. Then you get to spend time with your friend -and- a manicure.
Btw, a salon is not the best way to get a manicure anyway. You can feel your own cuticles and if something starts to hurt when it shouldn't. Pushing the cuticle back too far can cause bacteria to get in them, and even more so if you trim the cuticle ( especially cutting it on accident ). Someone "professional" did that to me right before my best friend's wedding, thankfully I didn't get an infection but damn did it hurt.
*It's a good idea to bring your own polish because 1. contamination, and 2. they might be thinning out the polish to last longer.
Guess what! I'm going to the B.A.P concert in NYC tomorrow! Fridays are awesome!
Have fun!!!!
Martina, you look gorgeous with blue hair. Spudgy won't mind because you are his mom and he loves his mom.
Simon, we're used to it here in Alabama because our summers are really hot, but yeah…you just like….melt..and cower inside from the heat. It's the humidity D:
have fun in Singapore guys,
ahahah Simon having to tell Martina how to put the @ sign!!! those glasses are so cool!!
hey i think i read about that Amy place on the internet while doing some research at Uni ahah!!
well i just found that episode on the net and i'm totally watching it after i finish watching you guys!!
ahaha Simon i like your nerdy joke!!! (lame nerdy jokes are the best!!!)
whoa!!! i thought it was probably thunder…since it's raining badly in England right now while watching you guys…..(i dunno why it just connected like that!), then Simon said gunshots and i was like O_O…again, you're not in my country or neighbourhood…..
"which is why you Martina so did up" whaaaaaat… confusing
Some of the most popular hawker centres in singapore are at Maxwell Centre and Newton Circus. All/most of the cabbies should know how to get there, and you guise can sometimes get pretty good food recommendations from the cab drivers too!
As for dimsum, there're places like Crystal Jade and Din Tai Fung that are pretty popular. those have outlets all over Singapore, so a quick google search would give you directions to the nearest outlet. The famous michelin star-rated dimsum chain from hongkong, Tim Ho Wan, recently opened an outlet in singapore too – it's located in Plaza Singapura if you guys are interested in checking it out!
Chicken Rice is literally chicken and rice, but the way it's all cooked is especially fragrant – definitely worth a try!
Aside from Chilli Crab, do also try out the Black Pepper Crab and Salted Egg Yolk Crab, those are delicious too! :)
Some people also really like our Pandan Cake, it's this green cake made with Pandan leaves!
Ohmy Yes! All the cab rides I had were really fun! The drivers were friendly and they would tell what's best to try, be it food or places. I <3 and miss SG!
Martina, just thought you should know after your hummed theme song I ended up on youtube looking at videos of all the Salior Senshi transformations and feeling super nostalgic about my childhood (Sailor Moon was the very first anime I ever saw, and I feel in love with it! I think they started airing it in the US when I was around 5 or so. I share your longtime love! My little sister and I used to watch it together!)
Hey hey guise this is kind of random but I received my polaroid package a couple weeks ago (sorry I couldn't leave a comment earlier) thank you so so much I was so happy! Just thought I should let you know :D
In the southern part of the USA, sumer ranges from 32 to 38 (though usually on the high end), but how is humidity? With humidity (90% most days), it feel closer to 38 to 43. Is humidity bad in Korea or does it make it feel that much hotter?
PS. When Martina first said/sang Juliette, my computer froze really really bad.
Fangurilla is freakin' amazing. You have to bring her back!
You guys think ~26 C is hot? Over in FL, that's a good day XD
That may be a good day for you, but for me born, raised, and still there to this day…It's like suicide by heat..Never could get used to it.
Sorry!! I didn't mean to offend XD It's just that where I live, 30+ C is the norm during Summer and we don't have Fall or Spring; the weather pretty much stays hot from mid March to late November, and cold from December to early March. Subtropical climates ftw, eh XD
Funny you say that… I live in FL too XD
That Fangurilla sketch was absolutley amazing
Just wondering if you guys have the Game of Thrones board game?! I'm currently living with my fiance and his brother, who loves the tv series and books. We heard stories about a couple almost getting divorced because they played the game, so naturally we wanted to try it out XD
It took us almost 6 hours to play the first time around! You have to play it with min. 3 people though. It's awesome. We played it 2x and I won both times mwuahahah. Even though I usually suck at strategy board games like risk.
Anyway, I'm not a big fan of the story (tooooo much unnecessary nastiness XD) But the board game was fun.
hey singapore nasties, if you want to check simon and martina's arrival time, you should be able to check it on the changi airport website. though u can only check it 1 day before, i believe we should be able to find out which terminal and belt that simon and martina will be arriving in.
i wish i could be at the airport to welcome u guise but i cant =(
Is the special Project coming to us anytime before Singapore?
I love how you pronounced my name and surname. it was more like Justina than Justyna. I hate my Polish name but I love english version – Justine ^^
and it was my first live livechat so WOOOOOHOOOOW~~!
I'm so happy. now I feel that I can survive my Physics Matura on Monday xD
and Simon, your joke http://25.media.tumblr.com/6dfbe45b51e9f7e12db636e69d5bff8f/tumblr_mm6vfbDWfE1r5wtlko2_250.gif
i wss one of the guise who hang out earlier. twas fun, lol
So from now on i'm probably gonna get a little bit giddy every time I see one one of the wigs I sent in. I'm really happy that I could give you guys something you could use.
OMG! Thanks for all the awesome stuff! We're cleaning up now, and just hooted over the awesomeness of the moustache tape! Thank you :D
If you actually manage to run out of the tape, let me know. We've got tons more of the rolls of tape, and we don't use that kind anymore. It's better to give it to someone that can use it than throw it out. And you are very welcome! ;)
i missed this one, but i got to see the 2nd part live, have fun in singapore guise! lots of love!
I don't know why I felt compeled to find this, but here's the poery fridge flickr picture ^.^
AW! That's from our old Windsor apartment! Oh my gosh! The memories!
I missed the live chat live but Martina, I really really like your hair and make-up today – so pretty! Did you get it done on set or do it yourself?
It was done for us on set :D
Guise… You spelled my name wrong in the blog post. >.< It's Emilie, not Emile… Anyway, I'm glad you liked my package! Simon, the ranch is meant to be used for SALADS, not spray candy. Haha
Ah! So sorry! I thought there might have been an extra I, but I wasn't sure. Ah!
Love you guys :) and congrats on who won :)
Love you guise!
Bummed that I couldn't be there, but whatever you're working on sounds fascinating! I love the idea of the little gifts for us, but wouldn't that cost you guys a bit in shipping? Anyway, glad we give you energy, and I hope I can be there on the weekend! ♥
