				<description><![CDATA[ <strong>Cancer (June 21-July 22)</strong><br />
You're someone who puts yourself out there for anyone to see who you are. This is truly brave, but please remember that there is a side to yourself that you tend to keep extremely secret, and at the moment you're deep into that aspect of your nature. ]]></description>

				<title>Our Towns: Gateway to Northport</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/home-and-living/our-towns-gateway-to-northport.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The six-year tug of war over the future of a site that some call the gateway to Northport seems to finally have a winner. Commerce Bank, the fast-growing financial institution whose branches are popping up on street corners all across Long Island, immediately hit major opposition in 2002 when it proposed replacing the dilapidated former Cow Harbor Inn at the corner of Route 25A and Waterside Avenue.  ]]></description>

				<title>Clamming on Long Island</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/food/clamming-on-long-island.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ One of the advantages to being the largest island in the United States is the accessibility to great seafood. With several hundred miles of shoreline, and plenty of protected waters on both the north and south shores, it is easy to see why Long Island was one of the major clam producers in the world. The hard clam (also called the northern quahog) used to be found in abundance all over Long Island where the water is shallow and the bottom sandy. Clams like to burrow into the sand, leaving only their “siphon” above the sand, allowing them to gather nutrients from the water, and dispose of waste. In clean water, left to their own devices, clams take about three years to get to eating size. On Long Island, littleneck clams dominate, but cherrystone, chowder, and soft-shell (steamers) varieties are also found where the intrepid clammer searches.  ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ One local initiative—the Southold Project in Aquaculture Training (SPAT)—is doing what it can to restock our waters with oysters, clams, and scallops. A Cornell Cooperative Extension program, SPAT teaches volunteers how to grow miniscule shellfish in containers, away from predators, until they reach adult size, when they are released into local creeks and bays.  ]]></description>

				<title>Hooray for Pollywood!</title>

				<description><![CDATA[ Okay. So summer is here. America’s big birthday bash is coming up, you’re thinking of happy hour, and you want to invite some friends over to chill out at your backyard tiki bar. All your friends are like you—trying to be eco-conscious—but you’re afraid to admit you are a bit burned out from all the talk about peak oil and pesticides, cancer-causing plastic used in baby bottles, the floating plastic continent, the disappearing wild salmon you used to throw on the grill without feeling guilty, yadda yadda ya. ]]></description>

				<title>Green Machines: The Big Switch</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/home-and-living/green-machines-the-big-switch.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Welcome to 1973. While we don’t have an oil embargo to blame, higher fuel prices have suddenly changed the American preference for big vehicles to smaller sedans and, yes—hybrids. For the past 25 years, large pickup trucks and SUVs have been among the best-selling vehicles. The Honda Civic, a compact car available with either a hybrid or gasoline engine, has displaced Ford’s F-series pickup truck as the best-selling vehicle in April ’08, at 53,299 units sold. This marks the first time in 16 years that a passenger sedan—not a truck—is the top-selling vehicle in America. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ We are in the full swing of the season—the excitement of the ballpark, the thrill of young athletic talent—and in scoring position for a green-stadium movement.  Minor League Baseball has become increasingly popular over the last decade due to low ticket prices, exciting games, and fun events for kids and adults. Grassroots in nature, the Minor League teams tend to work closely with their community to explore new technology and lessen the carbon footprint of facilities that serve hundreds of thousands of people each year. ]]></description>

				<title>Where are the Shellfish?</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/feature-stories/where-are-the-shellfish.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ In 1982, 28 percent of all the bay scallops eaten in the United States came from Peconic Bay. Actually two individual bays separating two of the most beautiful and expensive areas of the world (the twin forks of Long Island), Peconic Bay is a tidal estuary system that is fed at the western end by the Peconic River. Called one of the “Last Great Places” in the Western Hemisphere by The Nature Conservancy, the Peconic Estuary is also one of the most environmentally protected areas on Earth. ]]></description>

				<title>Beating The Summer Burn</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/body-and-soul/beating-the-summer-burn.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ You know the feeling. It’s the first nice summer day. You throw on some shorts and a tank top (or a bikini top for the gals) and off you go with some magazines and guilty-pleasure reading. The sun feels good and you can’t resist; you stay outside all day. Later on, your skin tingles and you notice that oh-so-lovely shade of lobster red in various locations on your body. ]]></description>

				<title>LI Sound: Push Play</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/arts/li-sound-push-play.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Four adorable guys. One MySpace page with more than a million hits. They’re together for less than two years, yet the pop-rock phenomenon Push Play has already been named Best Band on Long Island by Long Island Press. Their new CD, Deserted, has reached nearly 30,000 fans, and their iTunes release stayed in the top 100 for the first two weeks, which is unheard of for an indie band. In April they rocked Nokia Theatre—the only unsigned band ever to play on their stage. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ When Frederic DeFeis headed up the drama department at Pennsylvania’s Duquesne University almost 60 years ago, little did he realize how far his life in theater would stretch. His troupe has performed from Pittsburgh to a Brooklyn YWCA to the former Idlewild Airport (now JFK), where “Theatre-in-the-Skies” entertained travelers in the airport control tower. In 1972, Arena Players landed a permanent home across from yet another airport (Republic) in East Farmingdale, where they have been bringing Broadway-quality shows to Long Island ever since. ]]></description>

				<title>Dinner Dilemmas Solved by a Personal Chef</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/home-and-living/dinner-dilemmas-solved-by-a-personal-chef.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ When I lived in Southern California as an analyst, I worked long days that started before the opening bell of the New York stock exchange (which translates into 6 a.m.). At the end of the day, as I stepped into my apartment door, the last thing I wanted to do was think about what I wanted to eat—or even worse, start cooking. So after going through a list of the main food groups in my head, it usually concluded with throwing a batch of pasta in boiling water and pouring on some tomato sauce from a jar. On better days maybe I would dig into the depths of my refrigerator to find leftover mushrooms and basil that weren’t scarred from old age. It’s a miracle that I was able to survive with this meal plan for quite some time. ]]></description>

				<title>Thriving in a Feng Shui Kitchen</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/home-and-living/thriving-in-a-feng-shui-kitchen.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The kitchen is the heart of a home. It represents the health and wellness of a family. Food prepared in the kitchen nourishes us, and the kitchen also provides a place for nurturing family connections. According to Feng Shui—an ancient Chinese philosophy of creating balance to improve well-being— kitchens also represent a family’s prosperity. The Chinese relate the nourishing power of the stove to the ability of family members to earn money. So, it’s not far off to say that it’s probably one of the most important rooms in a house. ]]></description>

				<title>The Problem of the Media</title>
				<link>http://www.canvasli.com/feature-stories/the-problem-of-the-media.htm</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ It happened gradually and was closely connected to the rise of very powerful media corporations and powerful media lobbies.  We've had policy-making for media since the very beginning of the republic.  The most important debates in this country were the constitutional debates, followed by the debates in the first few congresses concerned with how to set up a media system and create the foundation for a free press.  There were public debates on these issues for generations. ]]></description>
