The Dash Poem

by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

How to locate the Model Number and Date Code: Remove the water tank, lay the brewer on its side, and locate the data tag as shown below:

I just want to say, I got a Tassimo for Christmas, and I love it! mine is included in the recall, and a replacement part is on it's way. This by no means is going to change my mind about the brewing system, because I love the machine, the coffee, the quickness, and convenience of it all.

I feel sorry for the 10 year old girl and the 2 year old child that got burned from it, but as a parent, I am wondering why two young people are even near the machine while it is in use. I never let my children when they were young anywhere near my coffee machine or a stove or anything like that, and I still don't for my grandchildren. Makes me wonder who is at most fault, Tassimo or the parent, that is suppose to be supervising their children.

I still love my Tossimo!

LET'S STOP CANCER!

2012-02-09T15:08:00.000-05:00

Do you know someone who has survived cancer? According to the American Cancer Institute over 1.6 million Americans are projected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2012.

The Canadian Cancer Society says, cancer prevention starts with healthy living. Can lifestyle changes really make a difference? Yes. By making healthy lifestyle choices, you can reduce your risk of getting cancer. In fact, about half of all cancers can be prevented through healthy living. LIVE WELL! BE AWARE! GET INVOLVED!

Share this post if you agree with me that "...the best way to fight cancer is to prevent it from developing in the first place."

Did you know that dangerous carcinogenic and endocrine- disrupting chemicals like asbestos, formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens are used in consumer products without oversight. These chemicals are found in children’s products, lotions and shampoos, plastics, furniture, electronics, cosmetics, food packaging, fabrics, and more.

Since 1975, childhood cancers have increased by 20%. Breast cancer incidence increased by 40% between 1973 and 1998. Other health conditions are also on the rise, including diabetes, autism, and reproductive problems.

What’s worse, the toxic chemicals found in consumer products have been linked in scientific studies to these statistics.

Consumers can help this problem and protect the health of their families simply by shopping smarter.

Recall Notice: Dollarama Baby Bibs

2012-02-06T12:06:00.000-05:00

Health Canada reports of a recall involving Baby Bibs distributed by Dollarama.

The bibs' lining contains a phthalate, specifically DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate), which exceeds the allowable limit. Phthalates, including DEHP, may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when soft vinyl products containing phthalates are sucked or chewed for extended periods.

Neither Health Canada nor Dollarama has received any reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of these bibs.

This voluntary recall involves various models of children's bibs sold under item numbers 19-1900392 and 19-3018618. Each item number corresponds to various styles and colours (see images below).

The front of the bib is made of fabric while the back of the bib has a lining made of soft vinyl. The CA number on the label is 56069.

Approximately 111,000 of the recalled bibs were sold in Canada. The recalled bibs were sold from July 2011 (item 19-1900392) and August 2011 (item 19-3018618) to January 2012. Manufactured in China.

Corrective Action

Consumers should immediately take the recalled bibs away from children and dispose of them.

For more information, consumers may contact Dollarama by telephone at 1-888-755-1006 or by e-mail.

Phthalates Regulations

Fact Sheet
January 2011

News Release: Harper Government Takes Action to Reduce Children's Exposure to Phthalates

What are phthalates?

Phthalates are a family of chemicals commonly used as plasticizers that have a large number of industrial and commercial applications. Phthalates are added to vinyl plastic to make it both soft and flexible.

What are the health risks?

Research shows that phthalates may adversely affect reproduction and development.

With respect to soft vinyl (polyvinyl chloride or PVC) products, it is important to note that the mere presence of phthalates in the soft vinyl does not equate to a health risk. For example, touching or licking soft vinyl does not constitute a health risk. It is the amount of phthalates that leach out of the soft vinyl and migrate into the body that can be harmful. Phthalates leach out of soft vinyl during periods of sustained mouthing action (sucking and chewing) that occurs on a daily basis, and migrate into the body through the saliva.

What is Health Canada doing?

Health Canada has announced new regulations that will restrict the allowable concentrations of di 2-ethylhexl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) to no more than 1,000 mg/kg (0.1%) in the soft vinyl of all children's toys and child care articles. They will also restrict the allowable concentrations of diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP) to no more than 1,000 mg/kg (0.1%) in the soft vinyl of children's toys and child care articles where the soft vinyl can, in a reasonably foreseeable manner, be placed in the mouth of a child under four years (48 months) of age.

These regulations will ensure that children's toys and child care articles imported, sold or advertised in Canada do not present a risk of phthalate exposure to young children.

What should parents and caregivers do with older soft vinyl toys?

Health Canada advises parents and caregivers to monitor their children's use of soft vinyl (PVC) toys not specifically designed for sucking and chewing (such as vinyl bibs and bath, squeeze or inflatable toys), and to remove these products from the child's environment if they observe the child sucking or chewing on them for extended periods.
