Overhead signs help volunteers sort mixed containers of donated foods, during Community FoodBank of New Jersey operations, on January 20, 2016, in Hillside, New Jersey. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) partnered with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, and Emergency Support Function #11 partners to respond to the disaster nutrition needs of those most severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy. FoodBank packaged and delivered USDA Foods as part of a Disaster Household Distribution Program to communities in need throughout New Jersey. The FoodBank utilized the processes it already had in place for packaging Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes and lessons learned from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee to quickly serve 24,000 households affected by Hurricane Sandy. USDA FNS relies on strong partnerships with food banks, such as the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, and other organizations at the local, state, and federal levels to provide USDA Foods for disaster congregate and household feeding. USDA coordinated its disaster nutrition response efforts with the State under FEMA’s Emergency Support Function #11 - Agriculture and Natural Resources. At the Federal level, ESF #11 supports State, tribal, and local authorities and other Federal agency efforts to provide nutrition assistance to those most severely impacted by disasters.

MTA Bridges and Tunnels is rebuilding the Harlem River Drive southbound ramp leading onto the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge. The project, expected to be completed by the end of the year, is part of the nearly $1 billion in capital improvements planned over the next 15 years for the 75-year-old bridge, which serves a combined average of 170,000 vehicles daily. A temporary ramp, with a quick detour through local streets, is in place, continuing to give motorists access to the RFK Bridge ramp at 125th Street. This photo shows the original steel support columns are the only piece of the old ramp that remain. New galvanized steel beams will be placed horizontally across them, as seen in this photo, followed by new steel stringers and a brand new, slightly wider roadway.

Olivia Stinson
Child Development Center
Olivia Stinson, a sophomore business administration major at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), has earned $20,000 to support her community service project by being recognized as a 2012 L'Oreal Paris International Women of Worth honoree and a member of Next MAKERS.
Stinson was one of 10 chosen for the Woman of Worth recognition out of a pool of over 3,000 women nationwide. She was also selected for one of the six slots in the MAKERS competition from 1,200 women who were considered. Both of the national awards were based on her work promoting literacy and reading with children of incarcerated parents.
At the age of 13, Stinson had the idea to start a book club for the children of incarcerated parents, 5,000 of who lived in around her hometown of Charlotte. Within a year, she had created PEN (Peers Engaged and Networking) Pals Book Club to promote literacy and provide cultural and social activities for these young people ages 12 to 19. Using a $500 grant to begin the program, she has seen her effort grow from a book club into a full support group and Stinson has now expanded the organization by creating BE a Reader (B.E.A.R.) Book Club for ages 2 to 11 to expand their knowledge of reading. By providing books, food, supplies and general support, she has already helped enrich the lives of nearly 4,000 children. She now hopes to take the program into other communities and eventually create a nationwide effort to support the children of incarcerated parents.
As a Woman of Worth honoree, Stinson received a $10,000 contribution for her charitable cause, and was recognized at an awards ceremony hosted by L’Oreal Paris and Hearst Magazines on December 6 in New York. Now in its seventh year, the Women of Worth initiative has recognized 70 women for their outstanding devotion to their causes, their commitment to their communities and their drive to make a difference in the world.
As an inductee into the MAKERS, Stinson also received $10,000 to support her work and an award that was presented by actress Marlo Thomas at a special reception in New York in November. The Next MAKERS now become part of MAKERS.com, a digital platform that showcases compelling stories from women of today and tomorrow. Those who have been featured include Hillary Clinton, Alice Walker and Sandra Day O’Conner.
In addition to being a student at WSSU, she is the daughter of Jacqueline Neal Stinson from the WSSU Class of 1982 and the niece of Donald Henderson, Class of 1978.
Canadian folksinger Gordon Lightfoot visits his daughter who is one of the protesters and talks with media at Occupy Toronto © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com 2011, protest camp, Canada, November 15, 2011.
Day of visit by renowned folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, whose 17 year old daughter Meredith is among the protesters. He spoke at length with the media in support of the cause. Later, he greeted my sister, who lives nearby in a group home, and shook her hand. After I saw him, I couldn't get the song, 'In the Early morning Rain' out of my mind. My late father had bought me my first album - by Gordon Lightfoot- when I was a bit younger than his Meredith, and that song was on it. It was a day of fathers and daughters, and memories...
I hear too often people saying that the protesters have made their point and now "should get a job', as if that's an easy thing to achieve. Not to mention that when you can find them, most jobs these days are underpaid, part-time positions with no future, benefits or stability. Many of those protesting are either undereducated or overqualified- and all in the same sinking boat, with the exception of crippling debts attached to the latter group. At the camp is a mix of politically motivated people who have chosen to be there, and others who evidently have no where else to go, but have found at the Occupy Camp a renewed sense of purpose, camaraderie and security- food and a safe place to sleep. They stand to lose the most when this is finally over.
People were asked to come by at 11pm that night to show solidarity as the protest had received an eviction notice and the police were expected to break up the camp. Fortunately there was an injunction and the eviction is now expected to take place at a later date- possibly on Saturday.
Most people at the camp reacted positively to the journalists taking photographs. An exception was Lightfoot's daughter, whom it appears didn't want to be identified as such, and another woman from Quebec, who was initially angry that I had been invited by a protester to photograph inside one of the tents, until she understood that I am a freelance photographer and don't work for any particular mainstream newspaper. Though at times I wish I did, as perhaps then I wouldn't be in this dismal, insecure financial situation, something which appears to be a shared concern with many of the protesters.
I just can't win. As i was leaving, I was berated once again for the act of taking photos of Occupy Toronto, but this time by a man waiting at the streetcar stop. He saw my Stop Ford button and my camera. On his way home from "working 7 days a week", he complained to me about his taxes, crowed about the ' warm, 5 bedroom house in High Park" awaiting him which his "hard-earned money had provided" (as he cast a dismissive eye towards the tent city behind him), showed me the callous hands of "a real worker" . He didn't believe that the police would consider using tear gas and tried to suggest it hadn't happened in Quebec City during the Summit protests, which I can verify as I was there. 5,000 canisters- I told him to look it up. His idiotic response was to ask if I work for Pravda (the Russian Communist party run newspaper, defunct since 1991 and now a tabloid)... hmmm... I wasn't actually aware that there was still a Cold War going on in 2011 Canada, but then again, neither is Toronto's Mayor Ford and company, who have been known to refer to some of "his" constituents as left wing, cycling Pinkos... (the people who didn't vote for him) , all of which explains the sprinkling of anti-Ford messages at the Occupy Toronto site. Here I was thinking only the suburbs had voted Ford in- but he has at least 1 supporter in High Park, who surprisingly takes public transit.
Alleria as in the video support fed with a mixture of low lactose cottage cheese and little pears / banana puree. She has lost weight off, getting old, have the beginning of back legs weakness, has a growing mammary tumor and lens prolapse in one eye. She is, after all, still sprightly for her age, but we should be happy for each day / week we can keep her.

The photo shows the tools I used to hold a 2x4 against the ceiling of my garage. I was attaching 2x4s to the ceiling to make it easier to hang things and brace things (like free-standing shelves).
The picture was taken part-way through the process of pressing the board to the ceiling. I was acting alone. Based on something I saw in a magazine, and heavily influenced by my make-it-as-complicated-as-possible philosophy, the method I used was this:
1. Mark location on ceiling for the 2x4 ceiling board (hereafter referred to as "ceiling board").
2. Nail two small string cradles to the ceiling near the ends of the proposed position of the ceiling board. The ceiling board will hang temporarily in these cradles.
3. Insert one end of the ceiling board into one cradle, then the other end into the other cradle. Result: the ceiling board is hanging in the two cradles about two inches (5cm) below the ceiling.
4. Place two clamps within easy reach of each end of the ceiling board. They will be used later.
5. Grab two other boards: a pre-cut board that is almost as long as the floor-to-ceiling distance and a short board. These, clamped together, will act as temporary supports for the ceiling board. Stand on a stool under one end of the ceiling board, holding the two supports together vertically.
6. Keeping the supports pressed together, move the short board upward as far as possible, elevating the end of the ceiling board. Clamp the two supports together. RESULT: the very end of the ceiling board is pressed against the ceiling. The other end of the ceiling board is still lying in its cradle.
7. Repeat the raising process at the other end of the ceiling board. RESULT: this end of the ceiling board is now pressed against the ceiling, but the other end is still a bit loose.
8. Return to the first end of the ceiling board, loosen the clamps, repeat the raising process, and re-clamp the supports. RESULT: this end of the hanging board is tight enough against the ceiling to require no more raising.
9. Return (again) to the second end and repeat the raising process there. RESULT: the ceiling board is pressed tightly enough against the ceiling to allow drilling of pilot holes for the screws that will attach the ceiling board to the ceiling.
10. Drill holes, install screws, remove the hanging cradles and supports.
The process is tedious to say the least. But it worked: I attached four 2x4s to the ceiling in this manner. After this work was finished I realized I could have simplified this process by using my stepladders as bases for holding the 2x4s in place. One can buy devices called "third hands" (often used by carpenters and drywall installers) to hold things in place, but I am too cheap to shell out $50 for a tool that gets little use.
I am in a rare fit of industriousness in the garage. That's why I've been inactive on Flickr lately. The goal is to create a better working environment on my side of the garage and enough additional storage space that we can park my wife's Jeep in the garage again.

Etchingham Supporting Ukraine - - - Following the request to the world from President Zelensky, Etchingham decided to show its solidarity with Ukraine. People gathered in the Queen’s Garden under the Ukrainian flag for a minute of silence thinking of those who have died, are injured, or are fleeing for their lives to foreign lands.
There was then a minute of applause in honour of those who are fighting to uphold the status of Ukraine as an independent nation. As we stood there in the sunshine of an English spring day,
We were reminded of our tremendous luck at having been born where we were, with the ability to speak out if we wish. We hope this privilege is maintained in Ukraine after this sorry affair is over.
