Sunday, June 16

Father's Is one of the most important modern celebrations of the month of June and even when its not as commercialized and popular as Mother's Day its also a reason to celebrate those 2 wonderful people who brought you to live.

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood.

Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was on June 19, 1910.

Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. In recent years, stores have adapted to the holiday by promoting greeting cards and traditionally male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other children's programs commonly have activities to make Father's Day gifts.

Father's Day is accompanied by a smaller total number of phone calls, greeting cards and gifts than Mother's Day. It is speculated that this is due to the greater number of households with a mother than households with a father (due to single mothers), to the greater role of mothers in housework, and to historical advantage - Mother's Day began in 1870 and became official in 1914 while Father's Day only became official in 1972.

Either or, if you are lucky enough to have your father around go and celebrate it with him, as always it doesn't need to be something big ..but its nice to make someone realize how much you appreciate them in your life.

Valentines And Cupid

Valentine's Day is on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day in most of them. It is the second most celebrated holiday around the world second to New Year's Day.

St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry, during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote "from your Valentine" as a farewell to her.

The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Cupid (Latin Cupido, meaning "desire") is the god of desire, affection and erotic love. He is often portrayed as the son of the goddess Venus, with a father rarely mentioned in ancient Roman sources. His Greek counterpart is Eros. Cupid is also known in Latin as Amor. Although Eros appears in Classical Greek art as a slender winged youth, during the Hellenistic period he was increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. During this time, his iconography acquired the bow and arrow that remain a distinguishing attribute; a person, or even a deity, who is shot by Cupid's arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire.

Cupid's ability to compel love and desire plays an instigating role in several myths or literary scenarios.

Cupid was a continuously popular figure in the Middle Ages, when under Christian influence he often had a dual nature as Heavenly and Earthly love, and in the Renaissance, when a renewed interest in classical philosophy endowed him with complex allegorical meanings. In contemporary popular culture, Cupid is shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine's Day.

It's been already 2 Months since the Sandy Hurricane hit the East Coast, but many problems seem to be still here not going away for many residents. The accumulation of debris its a big problem, stumps not being removed yet and garbage disposal are the main problems of why this hasn't gone away yet.

When a natural disaster like sandy occurs security goes first, emergencies go on the top of the list , the most important thing is to secure that no one gets hurt and the most dangerous situations get fixed first. The problem is that many emergencies happened at the same time and the minor and last details after a while are amounting.

Problem #1 Some debris hasn't been picked up and still on the streets because the town isn't coming around soon enough. Well what you can do its make sure you and your neighbors are on top of the town but sometimes there is certain debris that they wont pick up. Debris being picked up from tree companies may be taking a little bit of time too and also depending on when you go the job done, after a natural disaster for everything to be taken away 100% can even take up to 4 weeks.

Problem #2  Sumps not being removed yet, well this one should be the least of the problems although they arent good for the view te emergency is gone, the fallen tree. There is aproximatelly 3,000 to 4,000 stumps to be removed in NY. These will be taken down is an slower pace.  


Problem #3   Garbage disposal, This is the main cause of why problem #1 and problem #2 still exist...there is no place to throw out debris. All the places where the goverment and tree companies dispose all the garbage and full. In many places like in Floyd Bennett Field started burning out debris. The American Lung Association is against this while the enviromental office says its the safest alternative we have. The only way this can be solved unfortunatelly its with time and contacting the goverment so they can help long island to get rid of the debris problem.

Your Trees & The Hurricane

Tree Damage can be one of the saddest and most worrisome results of any hurricane or severe storm. Trees are very important for humans and the earth. In terms of safety they can be damage structures during a hurricane.

Knowing which trees to plant, where to plant them, and how to prepare existing trees for hurricane season can greatly reduce the risk of lost or damaged trees.  

There are some steps you can take on your own, but for best results, rely on the experience of your tree service professional. Have a tree expert remove dead trees and dread tree limbs and evaluate the health of trees near enough to fall on your (or your neighbor's) house. Your tree service professional is your greatest tool in preventative care to make less the damage.

Pruning is crucial in allowing a tree to grow strong which reduces the factors of causing damage. Trees need to be pruned selectively to allow wind passage, encourage strong branch angles and encourage a healthy center of gravity so it doesn't incline and falls. 

Another concern is leaf debris. Tree leaves and pine needles can clog house gutters. The excess water increases the weight in the gutters and may cause them to fail and clog. The pooling water can overflow and cause wood rot and even enter the exterior wall resulting in Sheetrock damage inside your home. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean in advance of inclement weather. If you see plants growing in your gutters, it is time to clean them!
