Kroger seeks to open gas station next to Tim Hortons site in Ypsilanti Township

By Katrease Stafford

Kroger will be putting a gas station near the intersection of Huron Street and James L. Parkway in Ypsilanti Township.

Courtney Sacco I

A public hearing has been set to consider the preliminary site plan to permit the construction of a Kroger gas station at the intersection of James L. Hart Parkway and Huron Street, just south of Interstate 94 in Ypsilanti Township.

The Kroger gas station, if approved, would be next to the Tim Hortons that recently received approval to be part of the Washtenaw Business Park.

The station would be north of the Kroger store at 2010 Whittaker Road.

This is not the first time Kroger has sought approval for a gas station in the township. The planning commission approved site plans in August for a station at a property adjacent to the Kroger store at 1771 E. Michigan Ave. This station is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

Since the construction season is coming to a close soon, Township Planning Director Joe Lawson said he expects construction to begin next spring at the Huron Street and James L. Hart Parkway spot.

Lawson said Tim Hortons and Kroger agreed to split the 1.1 acre site. Tim Hortons would occupy about 1,193 square feet of the property.

Lawson said the five-island gas station will have a kiosk in the middle, but it will not be a "full-blown" convenience store.

A special conditional use permit must be issued, allowing the township to set certain conditions.

"We can put conditions on it that the ordinance doesn't state," Lawson said. "Like this one, we're probably going to ask for a pitch roof instead of a flat roof to give it more of aesthetic look."

Lawson said after the hearing takes place, the planning commission can either table, deny or approve the plan. He expects the site plan will go before the commission at its Nov. 13 meeting.

"I anticipate they'll approve it and add a few additional things," Lawson said.

Once approval is received, Kroger will then receive a detailed engineering review from the fire, building and other departments within the township, Lawson said.

Lawson said the township is in favor of development of this type.

"(We're) looking at a budding commercial corridor," he said. "I’m excited just because we’re seeing some development come back, something the residents of this township have long asked for."

The public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m., Oct. 23 in the Civic Center Board Room at the Township Civic Center located at 7200 S. Huron River Dr.

Is this still happening? Because they just converted the Marathon into a Shell who partner's with Kroger for discounted gas so it doesn't make sense. Would like to know what is going on.

I love love love this.... no more going to the one on carpenter!!!!!!

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 11:26 p.m.

I know which reminds me, I need to fill up tomorrow.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 8:40 p.m.

YEA!!!!!!! This is Great!!!!

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 4:12 p.m.

There is a gas station on Cross in Ypsi, just West of the River/Depot Town that typically has a really good price on gas.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 10:56 p.m.

You might be referring to the Citgo at Washington Street and Cross; they often rank among the least expensive gas stations at

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 2:14 p.m.

I have not seen any construction what so ever on Michigan. So if its going to be completed by the end of the year where are the trucks to get this done? I am tired of driving to Carpenter to get cheap gas. The ones on Ecorse really hike it up here. They have lost my business. Glad to hear we are getting one more.

not a billy

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 1:34 p.m.

You will find that Kroger gas doesn't mean that the prices will come down. It just means that Kroger will keep the prices steady with the local competition but you can use your points to get a discount. If you look around southeastern Michigan, you will see a wide variance in Kroger gas prices. Always pretty close to the local norm. In Livingston County, the prices at Kroger are usually higher than at Costco, unless you are taking a 20 cent or greater points discount.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 1:33 p.m.

I fully welcome this and the Tim Hortons . I refuse to get gas at the Huron Fuel Plaza because they always have the highest prices. Some times 25 cents higher than any stations around. I don't mind crossing over 94 to get gas at the two stations there but the first one is super shady and sometimes so is the other one.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:55 p.m.

I would like to see something family oriented come to Ypsianti Twp. Not looking forward to another gas station.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 2:15 p.m.

The gas stations on Ecorse are family friendly and expensive too. I no longer frequent their price hikes.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:51 p.m.

If I wanted to voice my support for this as a resident of the Twp, who should I contact? Would it matter, or is this already a done deal?

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 2:16 p.m.

Brenda Stumbo. She comes to all of our Neighborhood Watch meetings. She loves to hear your comments on this one.

Katrease Stafford

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 1:13 p.m.

Hello, The public hearing is open to everyone. Lawson said this type of hearing is held to allow residents to voice their opinion of proposed plans. It's at 6 p.m., Oct. 23 in the Civic Center Board Room at the Township Civic Center located at 7200 S. Huron River Dr. This is still in the planning phase and has yet to be approved.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:39 p.m.

This could be very good. I just hope they don't inflate their prices to make up for the Kroger discount one gets for shopping there.

Ann English

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 10:50 p.m.

I just paid $3.34 per gallon last Sunday at the Carpenter location, getting twenty cents off per gallon. Why wouldn't the new station sell gas for about as much as Marathon nearby? The Carpenter Kroger station sells it for about the same, if NOT the very same, price as the nearby Speedway and Meijer stations. Recently their posted price was seven cents more per gallon than Speedway's or Meijer's. Inflate their prices? That sounds like selling gasoline for ten or more cents per gallon than competitors nearby.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 2:17 p.m.

I've been to the one on Carpenter. Been paying around $3.61 to about $3.71 every time I have gone. Keep using your card for better deals.

dading dont delete me bro

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:33 p.m.

no mention of the marathon in the immediate area, perhaps, right next door? it is in the background in your picture. a little healthy gas price competition? marathon has always run on the high side there. i only stop there if i'm on fumes.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:16 p.m.

This is north of Kroger, not south as the article states.

Katrease Stafford

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 12:29 p.m.

Thanks, Nate. It's been corrected.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 : 11:26 a.m.

Horay! I will finally get well priced gas south of 94! Win win for the community. When two companies split land do they make two tax IDs for it and will that mean more tax revenue than if Tim Hortons was to be the only building on that acre?

Can Me and My Boyfriend Have a Sleepover?

image from blogs.marinij.com
"Normalizing teenage sex under the family roof opens the way for more responsible sex education."

It turns out that this thoughtful statement is pretty radical in the United States.  And that is probably why Amy Schalet's article in the New York Times is one of the top ten most frequently emailed articles today.  Although her data is based on a very small (130) and narrow ("all white, middle class and not particularly religious")  sample of people, it is provocative for many. It's difficult for most Americans to "normalize" teenage sex when such a loud section of the national discourse looks at sex as "urges" that people cannot manage well, that inevitably end in bad things like pregnancy, STD's and broken hearts.  Teen sex is seen by  many as something to be tamed, ignored, suppressed or at worst denied.

Some parents sanction a fully open relationship over sexuality and others, whether by tradition, faith, politics, or squeamishness, prefer to be discrete. All parents need to be as clear as possible about their values and the expectation that teens will be safe-emotionally and physically.

Schalet makes the interesting (and for many, counter-intuitive) point that parental involvement in their childrens' emotional and intimate lives allows them more ability to influence and protect.  She nicely calls it "control through connection."

However, when I look at teenage sex through a developmental lens, whereby we expect adolescents to become independent, to make mistakes, to take risks and to experiment with lifestyles and relationships (meaning that sometimes they decide to breakup), it might be more difficult for the average teen to traverse these waters if the boyfriend or girlfriend has become part of the family.

  1. I don't think that teenage sex under the family roof opens the way for more responsible sex education.I think it is really dificult for parents and for kids too..

Quilt Project

We are very proud to introduce you to a very special project being done by an equally special group of folks. This is the " Quilt Project". The quilts are made up of the names and patches of contacts. The patches were sent to Any Soldier Inc. by the soldiers themselves. Not all contacts are able, nor were some willing, to send patches, so the project represents just a small portion of the many contacts involved in The Ladies of the "Ministers of the Cloth" volunteer their own time and talents to craft the quilts.

This is an ongoing project and this page will be updated as it goes.

18 March 2010 The Fifth quilt arrives!
Everytime we just know that there is no possible way the next quilt could match the beauty and professionalism of the one before, we are proved wrong. The ladies of the "Ministers of the Cloth" from Southminster Presbyterian Church, Missouri City, Texas have delivered yet another simply amazing bit of work. In one word: breathtaking.

23 April 2009 The Fourth quilt arrives!

Click HERE and HERE for closeups of the quilt.
7 March 2007 The third quilt arrives!

Click HERE for a closeup of the quilt.
Any Soldier Quilt #2, click this picture for a larger version. 30 Oct 05 The second quilt is completed and sent to Any Soldier Inc. Somehow, these ladies managed the impossible, to make the second quilt as beautiful, if not more so, then the first quilt. The patches on the quilt come to us from our contacts in the war zones, and the ladies of the "Ministers of the Cloth" in Missouri City, Texas, build these quilts by hand and completely voluntary. The quilts will be displayed at any opportunity to remind folks there are real people in this war. Our people.
Click on the picture for a better view of the quilt.
Margaret Minton & Terry Ancellotti of The Threaded Needle
24 May 05: We received a big surprise today - Margaret Minton & Terry Ancellotti of The Threaded Needle who so graciously donated their time and talent - finished quilting the quilt way ahead of schedule. It's almost finished! We're going to start working on the binding tomorrow and I'll send you more pictures Tuesday night.
11 May 05: We have finished piecing the quilt top! We will start quilting it next week and then finish it up by putting the binding on. Our plan is to have it finished by the 29th so we can present it to the congregation and then get it in the mail to you on Tuesday the 31st.
Thank you again for this opportunity - we were all touched and honored to be a part of this project.
4 May 05: We have finally reached the point where we are actually assembling the quilt! Here is one picture of rows 4 and 5.

Shari Rickert, leading the team of folks doing the work to make the quilts.
The Ministers of the Cloth are a quilting group at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Missouri City, Texas. They were organized in 1996 to create baptism quilts for infants being baptized at the church. The group has grown to more than 20 women who meet regularly to make the baptism quilts and quilts for the Southminster School's Gala Fundraiser. Other projects include the Linus Project, which gives quilts to children receiving treatment at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. Several times a year the Junior Ministers of the Cloth (children and youth) meet with the group to create special projects, most recently two quilted wall hangings for the Ronald McDonald House. In May of 2004 the group began making quilts for wounded soldiers receiving care at Walter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital.

This project has become a very important part of the women's efforts. As one member said 'We don't want their kids to not know their contributions. It's a visible symbol that we're supporting the troops and are behind them all the way, and appreciating what they're giving up." And also from another member "It's been such a rewarding experience for all of us this past year, knowing we're doing something, however small it may be, for our troops who are giving so much."

The group consists of women ranging in age from the mid 30's to early 80's. Not all members of the group quilt: some prefer to iron, cut or hand-stitch the quilts pieced by others. Faith, fellowship and mutual support are as important to the Ministers of the Cloth as the many quilts they have made and donated to others as part of their ministry.

Members of the group include: Tanya Martin, Lyn Boyd, Darlyne Fratt, Dorothy Goforth, Vikki Youngmeyer, Janet Meddaugh, Jody Chouinard, Carol Parsons, Theresa James, Jody Harrington, Gloria Fabila, Anastasia Layus, Bess Tucker, Iris O'Dell, Sally Dougherty, Nancy Kosarek and Shari Rickert.
The Team

30 April 2014: We were sent these pictures of the newest 'mini quilts' that will be on their way here soon! NICE!!!

Penang property still drawing investors

Now that the dust has settled after the March 8 general election, the property market in Penang is expected to be stable and moderate for the time being, says Michael Geh, director of Raine & Horne International Zaki + Partners.

Although there is talk that planned mega projects under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) — the second Penang bridge, light monorail system, Penang Outer Ring Road (PORR) and Rapid Penang bus service — might be halted, Geh says local and foreign investors do not seem to be shying away from Penang. In fact, he says, it is the other way around; all these factors are attracting them to invest in a “cleaner and transparent” environment.

“This may be attributed to new government policies promoting equal opportunity, be it in education, politics or business. These are deemed as clean and transparent policies especially with regard to land issues,” says Geh.

Presenting The Edge Raine & Horne International Zaki + Partners Penang Housing Property Monitor for the period between January to March this year (1Q2008), Geh says factors such as low unemployment rate, steady GDP growth, as well as a balanced and equitable national economic development all point towards greater opportunities for the property development and investment market for this year.

“However, due to volatile uncertainties in the global market, foreign investors may, in the second quarter, be more cautious about investment opportunities,” he adds.

Geh also foresees a slow start for take-up rates of projects that had already been launched in the coming quarter as locals play wait-and-see because of the political restructuring.

“The people are curious to observe strategies implemented by the DAP-led government to boost Penang’s economy, especially in the property sector,” he shares.

Nonetheless, Geh says that 2008 will be a historical chapter in Penang’s property market as more and more people are willing, and able to afford, luxurious residential developments. Luxurious developments, especially the high-rises have been coming up in Penang since 3Q2007 and he sees this as “new branding” for Penang properties.

“Nowadays, people are looking at modern tropical facades surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscaping. Spacious and airy tropical homes that boast courtyard terraces are being offered. Homes have a resort feel to them and come with private seafront enclaves compared to the traditional 1,400 sq ft, 2-storey terrace demarcated with concrete fencing located just next to one’s working office,” Geh explains.

Research by Raine & Horne show that most of the newly launched projects are gated communities, with intercoms connected to a guardhouse, 24-hour CCTV surveillance and 24-hour security. Geh says this reflects the public’s awareness of rising crime. Hence the trend for luxurious residential properties in Penang.

According to him, in 1Q2008, Penang’s properties were gravitating towards international standards, with developers building luxurious residential properties to support demand from the expatriate community as well as local and foreign investors.

The target market for these luxury properties include upgraders, local and foreign investors looking to make a profit, and foreigners living in Penang under the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme, who are mostly retirees.

“Being one of Malaysia’s front-runners in property investment after Kuala Lumpur, Penang’s waterfront developments are now comparable to the international waterfront communities, including Sentosa Cove in Singapore and the Palms in Dubai or even Australia’s Sovereign Islands,” he says.

In response to the rising construction costs and growing number of foreigners pouring into the Penang property market, new developments carry “international” price tags. A survey done by Raine & Horne during the Penang International Property Expo 2008 revealed that at least 75% of the soft or officially launched strata projects comprised luxurious condominiums or super condominiums priced between RM350,000 and RM2.2 million.

Most of these projects are coming up in Northern Penang, especially around the tourist belt — Tanjung Bungah, Tanjung Tokong and Batu Ferringhi. Sales are doing quite well, according to Geh.

In Tanjung Bungah, Bolton Bhd’s luxury condominium, Surin, recorded 100% take-up rate for Block A while Block B is up to 80% sold. In Queensbay, Baystar by CP Landmark Sdn Bhd was 100% since March 2008 while Ferringhi Heights by Plenitude Heights Sdn Bhd, located in Batu Ferringhi, is 50% booked even before its soft launch next month.

Apart from these, Penang’s iconic developments are also attracting a wider range of potential buyers. For example, 80% of E&O Property Development (Penang) Sdn Bhd’s Seri Tanjung buyers are from Penang, Ipoh, Sungai Petani and Kuala Lumpur, while the remaining 20% are foreigners. Meanwhile, Hunza Properties intends to promote Alila 2 — a high-end landed and condominium residential project in Tanjung Bungah — to buyers from Europe, Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia and Singapore, says Geh.

He says limited supply of landbank in the northern side has shifted landed housing development to the south, especially to low-medium income areas such as Sungai Ara, Batu Maung and Balik Pulau. “As more and more small-scale contractors cum developers come into Balik Pulau, potential land prices have appreciated at least 10% compared to 4Q2007. We foresee Balik Pulau as a new housing gold mine for developers,” says Geh.

For landed properties, owners are advised not to rush, as the current RM755,000 for a 1,650 sq ft 3-storey home is still conservative, he says. “A similar unit at Changkat Sungai Ara area was transacted at RM765,000 in 4Q2007,” he adds.

Meanwhile, in the secondary residential market, there has been a slowing down of market activities with prices stabilising, says Geh. Prices of standard 2-storey terraced houses sized between 1,300 sq ft and 1,800 sq ft remain largely unchanged except for a slight increase in Sungai Nibong and Seberang Perai Selatan, with prices appreciating 1.89% and 2.86% respectively.

In Minden Heights, prices of 2-storey semidees sized between 3,000 sq ft and 4,000 sq ft increased by 2.56% while in Pulau Tikus, 2-storey bungalows sized 6,500 sq ft and above rose by 2.17%.

As for rentals, things were on the quiet side except for the tourise belt of Tanjung Tokong, Tanjung Bungah and Batu Ferringhi, where rentals have increased for both landed and strata properties.

In Tanjung Tokong, rentals of 2-storey bungalows sized 6,500 sq ft and above increased 1.92% while similar properties in Tanjung Bungah saw a 1.85% hike. Also in Tanjung Bungah, rental rates increased the most for 3-bedroom apartments sized 900 sq ft or more, recording a 3.57% hike.

Overall, rental rates for 3-bedroom flats sized between 700 sq ft and 750 sq ft in Green Lane increased the most, recording a 4.41% hike. - By The Edge Daily

Long wait for homes comes to an end

Dream come true: All the first-time home owners posing for a group photo after casting their ballots at Wisma Penang Garden.

Some 50 first-time unit buyers went one step closer to their dream of home ownership at the M Summit Group’s Taman Ria and Ramah Pavilion balloting session in Penang.

At the event held at the group’s office in Wisma Penang Garden recently, the buyers for the projects in Teluk Kumbar came as early as 8.30am to cast bal-lots.

Taman Ria offers 17 storeys of 150 low-cost (LC) and 150 low medium-cost (LMC) flats while Ramah Pavilion is a two-tower apartment project consisting of 759 units in the Andira Tower and Barbarea Tower which are 39 and 36 stories respectively.

Network analyst P. Pathmase-karan, 33, was happy to finally obtain a RM79,000 LMC unit in Taman Ria.

“It is about time. I’ve waited for this for five years.

“I have my mum to thank as she was constantly running to the Penang Island City Council office to help me get my unit,” he said.

Father of three Tan Kok Tong, 39, waited for seven years to own a home.

He was relieved to finally obtain a Taman Ria LMC flat for his family.

“Previously, my family and I were staying with my parents in a rented house in Teluk Kumbar. Now, my children can have their own rooms,” he said.

M Summit Group managing director Datuk Albert Moh said 30% to 40% of units in Taman Ria had been taken up while Ramah Pavilion recorded a 30% take-up rate.

“Another 20% of applications for the Ramah Pavilion project is pending state approval.

“Piling work for the project will go into full swing soon.

“We have also started construction of the reinforced concrete bridge which will be the main access to the Ramah Pavilion project,” he said.

State Housing, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo, who was also present at the balloting, said there had been an increase in people applying for affordable housing since November last year.

“In a mere 130 days, we have seen an increase of 28% in applicants for the RM200,000 affordable housing units.

“As for the RM300,000 units, we have seen a 61% increase in applications and there is a 42.5% increase for flats costing RM400,000.” - By The Star

WHAT WE DO FOR YOU! We save you time- Vacancy searching can require hours of phone calling or knocking on doors. We save you money- Driving to the wrong communities takes your gas. The day before you visit be sure to contact your leasing specialist so they can update prices, specials and availabilities. What we do, is save you time and money. We search our database for the communities matched to your needs. You review the initial selections on line. We can adjust the list based on your comments. You visit communities that are matched to your criteria, that is how we save you time and money. Please advise the on-site leasing team that Apartment Selector is the source (how you learned about the community). What to expect when leasing an apartment in Belton! The apartments use similar leases and lease applications. Be prepared with your deposit check and identification when you visit a community. Very often they offer “Look and Lease” specials. Be ready. Will you need a roommate or spouse to approve your new apartment? Be sure to have them look with you. Be sure to confirm all information in advance and ask for it in writing. Our databases have information that ages very quickly due to the fast changing market. We want you get what you are after. If you have any credit issues or background situations, bring them up early to avoid your time and wasting your money on application checks. Your looking for an apartment is the business we perfected in 1959. Yes, we are the oldest service in the United States assisting renters as a professional apartment locator. We differ from moving companies that offer apartment information and on-line web services in several important ways. 1. We are people helping people, not computers listing information. Your presentation is your vacancy list- your list is based on phone calls, visiting communities, updating resources and our professional experience and opinion. 2. On-line listing services expect you to do all the driving around and calling. They expect you do all the work. They are not a true search of vacancies. 3. Moving companies are trying to increase the people using their moving company and to earn extra on moves. People wanting real assistance respect those that are professionals. That is all we ask for. When we do the work, we ask for your loyalty and support by informing the apartment communities that we are the reason you are visiting and leasing at their community. 4. Please do not use our time and then write a mover or rebate company name. This can create problems for all concerned.

Known issues

Like for any project there is still room for improvement with Arduibag!
Here are some improvements to make with the current version…

Priority Description
1  The backpack is waterproof but, however, the case is not. The challenge is to seal the joystick!
2  The price! The cost of this Arduino project is not accessible to all. There surely is a way to optimize the cost of all components.
3 The power consumption of the remote control (!?!) Even if the communication between the backpack and the case is in Bluetooth 4.0 (low power consumption), the battery seems to drain a little too quickly (perhaps a defect of my personal 9V battery).
4  Too many batteries in the backpack. It is certainly possible to have a single battery for the LED screen and the Arduino board…
5 A universal fastening system for the remote control.
6 The “STOP” message is manual… why not using an accelerator sensor to automatically display the message !
7 A mobile application for having a real “connected” backpack.
Having cool new features like:

  • Using the GPS to determine bike speed
  • Using the GPS to display the “STOP” message
  • Using the GPS to display “flahsing arrows” on a predefined roadtrip.
  • Display news from RSS feed
  • Display messages dictated by the mobile voice recognition

Talk to a Parking Lot Contractor Nearby about Parking Lot Striping Services

If you have your parking lot asphalted or paved, you will also want to have it striped to make sure that it remains hazard-free. If you do not have parking lines added or handicap spaces designated, it can lead to accidents. By adding stripes or lines, you make driving over your lot a much less confusing and safer experience.

That is why it is important to work with a parking lot contractor nearby who provides both paving and striping services. Both of these services complement one another as they benefit the looks of a surface and make it safer to drive on.

Give Your Business an Instant Facelift

Maybe you want to speak to a parking lot contractor about restriping your parking lot. If so, you will instantly upgrade the aesthetics of your workplace. When a parking lot features vibrantly hued lines, it increases the curb appeal of a company. It is the ideal way to give your company a facelift that is immediately recognized.

Increased Customer Satisfaction

If you have your parking lot striped, it also makes things more organized. When parking lines are added, customers and employees know exactly where to park. You also are telling your clients that they are welcome at your business. Therefore, contacting a parking lot contractor to stripe your lot can increase your business’s level of customer satisfaction.

Are You ADA Compliant?

Moreover, scheduling striping or re-striping will help you remain compliant with the mandates set by the American with Disabilities Act or ADA. Having parking lines added ensures that people with disabilities have easy access to your company.

How to Determine Quantities

Measuring a Pavement Job.

 To determine the amount of asphalt you will need for a paving job you first need to know the area to be paved. This may be simple if the area to be paved is square, rectangular or constant width of road. However, this is seldom the case since there may be bump-outs or islands in the area to be paved, the width of the road may vary, or there are culs-de-sac. This may seem to be impossible in some cases, but by dividing the pavement area into simple geometric shapes and adding and subtracting these areas, the total area to be paved can be quickly determined. The following are basic formulas for calculating the area of different geometric shapes.

Lets look at the parking lot in Figure 1, as it has many of the sorts of features that can complicate the calculation of area.

When you first look at this it may seem complicated because it is not a square, triangle, or circle. However, it is actually a combination of squares, triangles, and circles, as can be seen in Figure 2.

Figure 1: Parking Lot Figure 2: Parking Lot Divided into
Geometric Shapes

By dividing a project into these simple shapes you can now easily calculate the area to be paved.

Area A is a rectangle 100' × 100' = 10,000 sq.ft.

Area B is a triangle 30' × 100' ÷ 2 = 1,500 sq.ft.

Area C is a rectangle 20' × 120' = 2,400 sq.ft.

Area D is a circle 702 ÷ 4 × 3.14 = (70 × 70) ÷ 4 × 3.14 = 3,846.5 sq.ft.

To determine the total area of paving all we have left to do is add the areas together with one exception, the islands in the middle of the parking area. For these, we have to calculate the area of the islands and subtract that area from the sum of the other areas. I will leave the calculation of the islands' area up to you. Just remember, the islands are just rectangles with semi-circles at each end.

Therefore, the total paved area is:

10,000 + 1,500 + 2,400 + 3,846.5 − (Islands' Area) = 17,257 sq.ft.

OK, I did calculate the planter area, I just wanted you to have a try at this. I also rounded off to the nearest whole number. This is all the accuracy you are likely to need on a paving job.

You may notice that there are small areas around the curb returns at the cul-de-sac that were not calculated. In this case, the areas are small and will not make a significant difference in the total areas. If you have many areas like this on a project it would probably be best to draw the area to scale on graph paper and estimate the area by counting the number of squares and multiplying the number of squares by the area of each square. For example, if you drew the area at a scale of 1"=20' and the graph paper was divided into 0.10" increments, each square would have an area of 4 sq.ft. (2' × 2'). If you counted 20 squares, the total area would be 80 sq.ft. (20' × 4').

Figure 3 illustrates an example of this. In this case there are approximately 20 squares. One of the tricks is to combine partial squares. For example if 3/4 of one square is covered by the area and 1/4 of another square is also covered by the area, they can be combined and counted as a full square.

Figure 1: Graph Paper Method for Determining Area

Now that you have the area calculated, you next need to calculate the quantities. Quantities are usually specified by weight (tons) or volume (cubic yards). No matter how it is specified you will first need to calculate the volume. Volume is easy to calculate since it is simply Area × Thickness. One of the keys in calculating volume is to always use the same dimension. Therefore, if we measure the area in square feet, we have to convert thickness measurement to feet too. For example, if you are placing 6" of aggregate base, the thickness would be converted to:

6" ÷ 12"/foot = 0.5 feet.

To compute the volume we simply multiply this thickness by the area previously computed.

Volume = Area × Thickness = (17,257 sq.ft.) × (0.5 feet) = 8,628.5 cu.ft.

Aggregate base and other material are often specified or purchased by the cubic yard; therefore, you need to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Since there are 27 cubic feet per cubic yard (3'/yd. × 3'/yd. × 3'/yd.) you would need to divide the cubic-foot volume by 27.

Volume = 8,628.5 cu.ft. ÷ 27 cu.ft/cu.yd. = 320 cu.yds.

To calculate the weight of material needed for a project you will need to know the compacted density of the material. Density is the weight of material per volume. For example pounds per cubic foot. The density of asphalt pavement mixtures does vary depending on mix proportions and the type of aggregate. If you do not know the in-place density of mixes, you must ask your supplier.

To determine the weight of material multiply the volume by the density of material:

Weight = Volume × Density

Using the previous example and assuming an asphalt pavement mixture density of 145 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and a thickness of 4" we would perform the following calculations.

  1. Volume = 17,257 sq.ft. × (4" ÷ 12"/ft) = 5,752 cu.ft.
    (notice that the thickness was converted from inches to feet)
  2. Weight = 5,752 cu.ft. × 145 pcf = 834,040 lbs.
  3. Convert to tons = 834,040 lbs. ÷ 2,000 lbs./ton = 417 tons

Now it's your turn to try your new skills. Using the paving area in Figure 2, calculate the cubic yards of aggregate base and tons of asphalt pavement mixture needed, assuming the following:

  1. Areas A & B are to be paved using 4" of Aggregate Base and 3" of asphalt pavement mixture.
  2. Areas C & D are to be paved using 6" of Aggregate Base and 4" of asphalt pavement mixture.

  • Areas A & B: Agg. Base = 136 cu.yds.; asphalt pavement mixture = 200 tons
  • Areas C & D: Agg. Base = 116 cu.yds.; asphalt pavement mixture = 151 tons

A note about measuring areas of roadways with curves

When determining the area of a roadway with a curve it is important that the length be measured along the centerline of the road. By doing this the area is simply the length of the arc along the centerline times the width.

Luck, In Launching AMP

Atlanta Music Project logo

After the Abreu Fellows graduated, my plan was to continue blogging as the Atlanta Music Project started coming together. I thought it’d be interesting for people to come along for the ride of the developments and ups-and-downs of launching an El Sistema program outside of Venezuela. Well obviously, those blogs never happened and I’d like to blame it on the fact that I was just too busy trying to start the program.

By now you may know that the Atlanta Music Project, the El Sistema-inspired program that I co-founded with our board chair Al Meyers,was successfully launched on October 4, 2010 in Southwest Atlanta, in partnershipwith the City Of Atlanta Office Of Cultural Affairs. I don’t want to bore you with the all the details involved with starting a non-profit. Obviously it’s a lot of work and requires a great team, which we have. But what I feel really helped us – and I’d be kidding myself if I didn’t admit it – was quite simply, luck. A lot of it. Here’s just a few examples from many.

As the new Mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed, started his term in January 2010, he announced plans to re-open all the recreation centers so kids would have somewhere to hang out after school. In July 2010, I got a phone call from Camille Love, the Director of the City Of Atlanta’s Office Of Cultural Affairs. She wanted the Atlanta Music Project to be one of the after-school programs taking place at the Mayor’s recreation centers, starting in September 2010. The Atlanta Music Project now runs out of the Office Of Cultural Affairs’ Gilbert House, where we’re given the space, administration staff and infrastructure to run our classes. It’s a great partnership, that partly comes down to luck and great timing, because if it wasn’t for the Mayor and Ms. Love’s vision, the Atlanta Music Project may not have launched this quickly.

Me, Camille Love (Director of Cultural Affairs), Al Meyers (Co-Founder and Board Chair of AMP) at a press conference where Mayor Kasim Reed announced the launch of the "Culture Club: An After-School Experience". The Atlanta Music Project is the provider of music classes in this after-school program.

Here’s another one. In April of 2010, the 2010 Abreu Fellows left Caracas to go back to the United States. The first leg of the trip was from Caracas to Atlanta, so I opted to spend our spring break in Atlanta, where I would keep trying to get things going with the Atlanta Music Project. Showered, but unshaven and in need of a haircut, I rented a car at the airport and drove straight to the Woodruff Arts Center, home of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, where students of the Talent Development Program were performing.

At the reception for this concert, Melanie Darby, who is on our board of advisors, introduced me to Dr. Stanley Romanstein, the new President of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. I asked Dr. Romanstein if we could meet so I could talk to him about my plans for El Sistema in Atlanta. The meeting went great and at the end he asked “So, what do you need?” On the advice of my Abreu Fellows Program mentor, Don Jones, I was prepared for this question. I asked Dr. Romanstein for office space within the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra offices (I was tired of spending my days at coffees shops for their wifi and my evenings going to FedEx to print documents, spending money I didn’t have). His exact response was “done.” I was actually kind of confused for a second because I had prepared a bunch of reasons why I the office space was needed, but I never had to explain. I believe we were lucky that Dr. Romanstein, who is a former Executive Director of the Baltimore School For The Arts and a champion of music education, joined the Atlanta Symphony literally a few weeks before I arrived in Atlanta from Venezuela. Dr. Romanstein and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra have been strong supporters of our program from the beginning and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. The timing couldn’t have been better.

The Abreu Fellows performing at TED2010.

In February 2010, I went to TED2010 with some of the 2010 Abreu Fellows. I blogged about performing on stage, meeting Will Smith and Sheryl Crow etc. What I didn’t tell you then, because I didn’t know where it would lead, is that on the last night I walked into the elevator at our hotel and met two TEDsters who happened to work for Coca Cola in Atlanta. They had just seen me perform with the Abreu Fellows on the TED Stage and so they knew all about El Sistema, El Sistema USA and the Abreu Fellows Program. I told them I was planning El Sistema in Atlanta and asked if there was a Coca Cola Foundation I could apply to for funds. They put me in touch with the Coca-Cola Foundation and I met with them later in April. The foundation folks said it sounds like a good idea, but please come back when you have more traction. Fair enough, but not the answer you want to hear when what you need to get traction is, funding. But with the City Of Atlanta partnership developing, we were finally able to secure funding from Coca-Cola that essentially enabled us to launch the program. The Coca-Cola company is still our biggest sponsor to date and I’m thankful for them having taken a leap of faith to support our music for social change initiative. To see all our sponsors and collaborators, please visit this page and this page on the Atlanta Music Project website.

The City Of Atlanta Office Of Cultural Affairs, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Coca-Cola Company are three of our partners, without whom, the Atlanta Music Project couldn’t have launched. When I talk about us being lucky, people often tell me it’s not luck but the result of hard work. I certainly believe that is true. We have a board, volunteers and enthusiasts who work tirelessly on our behalf. But I think the two biggest factors in our successful launch are that we have a good mission and we’ve been lucky. So far, no one has told me (at least not to my face!), that what we’re doing here is not both needed and positive. I believe that what El Sistema has done in Venezuela and what the Abreu Fellows Program has become in the United States, is extremely credible, and we at the Atlanta Music Project are just a small part of a huge movement to save lives with music. With all these elements supporting us, time and time again, my planning team and I found ourselves in the right place at the right time, with good fortune that helped advance our launch.

In the end it is most important that our luck as a planning team has found its way to the community. Our students now have the opportunity to learn an instrument, sing in a choir, learn musicianship and play in orchestra, right in their own neighbourhood everyday of the week. They’re great kids and I’ll tell you a little bit about them in my next blog. Comments, concerns and questions about my blog or the Atlanta Music Project are always appreciated. Thank you for reading!

    Great work starting the Atlanta program Dantes! Your mum must be really proud of you :)
    Do you ever think about what the next steps will be? Will you stay involved with El Systema in Atlanta or does Canada get you in the end? And, do you have a link to the actual TED talk that you played in (I tried clicking the picture above but it didn’t lead to a talk, just an image).. Repost it! :)
    All the best,

  2. loghandhi 7 years ago

    Bravo Dantes! I agree wholeheartedly! Luck and very, very hard work!
    I will pass your message around.
    The combination of your partners is impressive!
    A self-respecting city with an eye on the cultural health of its citizens, PLUS a local symphony with an eye on perpetuating the love of music for generations to come PLUS a corporation with the will to put its contributions in a program of excellence!
    Again: Bravo!

    @ Linda,

    Whassup roomie! I think about next steps everyday. I’m committed to getting our program to as many kids as possible in Atlanta. But for now we’re just focused on executing this pilot program as best we can.

    As for El Sistema Canada, I’m on the steering committee for a national organization that will somewhat resemble El Sistema USA. It’s in its early stages, so I can’t say much more than that,

    but Canada is well aware of El Sistema, and the flavour has certainly spread north (notably in Ottawa and Moncton, New Brunswick)

    TED hasn’t released the Abreu Fellows’ performance from TED 2010 yet. But in the meantime if you click on the link below, you can see a video of my recent TEDx Talk from TEDxPeachtree 😉!

    Thanks for following the blog. Hope all is well. Talk soon!

Wang ; he did it twice

Sunday, September 15, 2013

Not another RECAP.

I am stucked  in Cyprus - and loving it - so for now I got no INSTA-Photos from shows on Instagram and Facebook. But Thank God it's Like a numb I am spending my whole day watching the shows and the reviews there.
After the huge enthusiasm of the Alexander Wang show in NY, I was expecting more and more from the rest designers. I am not going to use the word 'disappointed' but my feelings are kinda similar for some of the other shows.
Do you feel the same? If not, excuse me! I am kind of moody the latest days.
BUT NOT FOR T by Alexander Wang.  That made my day and I cannot wait to find the pieces online and click the BUY ME NOW button.
Like everyday clicking on the shows and names of the designers and there it was : T by Alexander Wang.
That man did it twice. And I could not resist and keep it for myself.
Enjoy the amazing collection, with a minimalistic taste but with enough "fashion" on it.
What I loved the most? I think the zips stole my heart, but still I want everything.

Here some collages I did. Enjoy. JOY JOY JOY !

Mariah Stewart

Dear Librarians,

When my mother told me that she'd discovered her father had had a secret family in another state, I knew I'd have to write about it one day. THE LAST CHANCE MATINEE is loosely based on that story, though the facts have changed, i.e. we've no secret relative living in a Victorian mansion in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains nor any run-down Art Deco theater waiting to be restored to its former glory.

Booklist raves "The combination of a quirky small-town setting, a family mystery, a gentle romance, and three estranged sisters is catnip for women's-fiction fans, and the backdrop of the faded movie palace adds a fascinating element to the story."

With thanks ~

Paragliding, solo flight training to boost tourism

Udaipur: In a first, adventure lovers can take lessons in paragliding and solo flights in Rajsamand.
The district administration has granted licence to expert pilot Ajit Pratap Singh who will coach people from next month. A suitable and safe venue too has been identified by the authorities at Morjan hills in Kesuli village where the training sessions will be held. The adventure sports training is expected to give boost to tourism as well as generate employment opportunities for the local youths.
Paragliding is a recreational sport and the closest way for humans to fulfil their dream of free flight. Paragliding in India is performed using a light-weight, foot-launched aircraft that has no rigid structure. The pilot is secured to this structure using a harness and a fabric wing aids the flight of the individual.
"Any healthy person above the age of 12 can learn paragliding. The training schedule would be for 10 days during which the pilot would be taught to master the basic techniques of paragliding such as launching, turning and landing before setting out on a solo flight," Singh said. The equipment, safety belts, helmets have been procured and the paragliding experiments are being conducted here.

US has no advisory on travel to India: Sushma Swaraj

New Delhi: External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday attended Parliament for the first time since she underwent a kidney transplant three months ago. Members cutting across party lines greeted her with applause.
She soon made a statement that assured support and protection for Indians in the US, following wide-spread concern over incidents of racial attack on Indians in different parts of America.She ruled out any plan to a have travel advisory for Indians travelling to the US, as demanded by some Opposition members in the LS last week, and clarified that Washington has not enforced any travel advisory for Americans visiting India.
“I would like to reassure this House...that safety and security of Indian diaspora abroad remains a top priority for this government. We are in a continuous dialogue with the US government. Close contacts with the local Indian community groups are being maintained through our embassy and consulates to address any emerging issues. We will remain vigilant to developments impacting the lives of Indians abroad and do everything possible to safeguard their interests and welfare,” Swaraj said.

Nappy rash

What does nappy rash look like?

Nappy rash doesn't always look the same. But if your baby's nappy area looks irritated and red, chances are he has it. His skin may also be a little puffy and warm when you touch it.

Nappy rash may be very mild — a few prickly red spots in a small area — or quite extensive, with tender red bumps that spread to your baby's tummy and thighs. There's no need to panic, though: Dealing with nappy rash is part and parcel of baby care, especially in the first year or so of your baby's life.

How did my baby get nappy rash?

Nappy rash can be caused by anything from a new food to your baby's own urine. Here are the most likely culprits:

  • Wetness. Even the most absorbent nappy leaves some moisture on your baby's delicate skin. And when your baby's urine mixes with bacteria from his stool, it breaks down and forms ammonia, which can be very harsh. Although a baby left in a dirty diaper for too long is more likely to develop nappy rash, any baby with sensitive skin can get a rash, even if his parents are nappy changers.
  • Chafing or chemical sensitivity. Your baby's nappy rash may be the result of his nappy rubbing against his skin, especially if he's particularly sensitive to chemicals like the fragrances in a disposable nappy or the detergents used to wash a cloth nappy. It could also be that a lotion or powder you're using for nappy duty doesn't agree with your baby's delicate skin.
  • New foods. It's common for babies to get nappy rash when they start eating solid foods or are introduced to a new food. Any new food changes the composition of the stool, and it might increase your baby's bowel movements as well. If you're breastfeeding, your baby's skin could even be reacting to something you're eating.
  • Infection. The nappy area is warm and moist — just the way bacteria and yeast like it. So it's easy for a bacterial or yeast infection to flourish there and cause a rash, especially in the cracks and folds of your baby's skin.
  • In addition, babies on antibiotics (or whose breastfeeding mothers are on antibiotics) sometimes get yeast infections because antibiotics reduce the number of healthy bacteria that help keep yeast in check as well as the harmful bacteria they're meant to destroy. Antibiotics can also cause diarrhea, which can contribute to nappy rash.
  • Thrush is a type of oral yeast infection. Some babies with thrush develop a yeast infection in their nappy area too.

Should I take my baby to the doctor for a nappy rash?

It's probably not necessary. With some diligence, you should be able to say good riddance to your baby's rash in three or four days without a doctor's visit.

Do call the doctor if the rash looks as though it may be infected (has blisters, pus-filled pimples, oozing yellow patches, or open sores). She may prescribe a topical or oral antibiotic for your baby.

For a nappy rash caused by a yeast infection, your doctor may prescribe an antifungal medication to use in the nappy area. Also call the doctor if your baby develops a fever or his rash doesn't go away after several days of home treatment.

What's the best way to treat nappy rash?

Keep your baby clean and dry by changing his nappy frequently. That may mean getting him up at night for a nappy change.

Rinse his nappy area well at each nappy change. Some parents keep cotton balls and a squirt bottle or an insulated container of warm water at the changing table for easy, gentle cleanups. Pat your baby's skin dry — don't rub!

Using a barrier ointment — one that forms a protective layer on the skin — after every nappy change can help protect your baby's irritated skin from stool and urine. There are several good barrier ointments on the market, including petroleum ointment and white zinc oxide, which is thicker and good for protecting very sensitive skin.

Put your baby's nappy on loosely or use a nappy that's a little big on him to allow for better air circulation. If your baby wears cloth nappies, don't use plastic pants. If you buy disposables, try a different brand to see if that helps.

When the weather is warm and your baby can play outside or in a room with an easy-clean floor, leave his nappy(and ointment) off for as long as possible every day. Exposure to the air will speed healing.

Consider letting your baby sleep with a bare butt whenever he has a rash. A plastic sheet under the cloth sheet will help protect the mattress.

How can I prevent nappy rash?

Here are some good preventive measures:

  • The best defense against nappy rash is a dry bottom, so change your baby's nappy as soon as possible after it becomes wet or soiled.
  • Clean your baby's genital area thoroughly with each nappy change. Pat his skin dry — never rub it.
  • If your baby seems prone to nappy rash, coat his bottom with a thin layer of protective ointment after each nappy change. There are several good barrier ointments on the market, including petroleum ointment and white zinc oxide (which is thicker and good for protecting very sensitive skin). It's okay to use plain petroleum jelly as a barrier, but it rubs off easily.
  • Skip the talcum powder, as the dust is harmful to your baby's lungs if he breathes it in. If you want to use powder, choose the safer cornstarch-based type. Shake powder into your hand, away from your baby; never directly on or near him, and keep the container well out of his reach at all times. At every nappy change, carefully wash away any powder that accumulates in your baby's skin folds.
  • When your baby starts eating solid foods, introduce one new item at a time. Waiting a few days between each introduction will make it easier to determine whether sensitivity to the food causes a nappy rash. If it does, you can eliminate that food for the time being.
  • Don't secure the nappy so tightly that there's no room for air to circulate. Loose clothing will let your baby's bottom breathe. Avoid plastic pants and other airtight fabrics.
  • Don't wash cloth nappies with detergents that contain fragrances, and skip the fabric softener — both can irritate your baby's skin. Use hot water and double rinse your baby's nappies. You might also add half a cup of vinegar to the first rinse water to eliminate alkaline irritants.
  • Breastfeed your baby for as long as you can. Breastfeeding boosts your baby's resistance to infections in general and makes him less likely to need antibiotics, which can contribute to nappy rash.
  • If your baby goes to daycare, make sure that his caregivers understand the importance of taking these measures to prevent nappy rash.
