Conscious Living TV Goes Rooftop for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Uncommon Ground's Certified Orga - (USA)
It was a gorgeous day when we shot our latest episode of Conscious Living TV from the rooftop of the Uncommon Ground restaurant in Edgewater! We came to Uncommon Ground this past weekend, along with other members of the press (and Mayor Daley! ), to cover the ribbon cutting ceremony of the nation’s first certified organic rooftop garden at Uncommon Ground. Upon our arrival at Uncommon Ground restaurant (1401 W. Devon Ave), we climbed up the stairs to the roof, which houses a

Riding the elephant - (USA)
Several people have engaged me in nervous overtones about parts of our recent interview with local theatre critic Peter Birnie (none, however, in the comments section. I’ve got to find a way to make that a more attractive prospect. Any ideas? Leave ‘em in the comments section.), wherein he prognosticates dark times ahead for our theatre industry here at home, due to an impending economic recession and the resultant belt-tightening that will inevitably occur; a gathering storm which he terms “the

No Ghosts on the Internet - (USA)
The Smoking Gun ran a darkly fascinating exposé last week on a crew of Internet lifers who have turned the prank call into an instrument of real terrorism. A fitting moniker in the purest sense, the outfit called PrankNet specializes in social engineering with a deeply disturbed bent. Like the Jerky Boys or Crank Yankers if either were racist, homophobic, perverted, and psychotic, the hucksters ply a live reaction comedy custom-made for the American sociopath. They are the phone prankers

Environmentally Friendly Roofing - (USA)
When we think about sustainability, we don’t often think about our roof. However, most homes are roofed in asphalt shingles, a material with a short life, high environmental impact, and low reusability. It’s not safe to drink the water that runs off of these roofs, but there’s no regulation about letting it run into the soil. If your roof is starting to show its age, why not replace it with something better? There are a number of options when it comes to environmentally friendly roofing. He

Is it time to give modern day pirates a moral “break”? - (USA)
Pirates are a cultural icon, but can we deal when the myth becomes a reality? GUEST COLUMN: AMY LEASK — We’ve been incredibly spoiled by the likes of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Thanks to them we’ve become enamored with knee-high leather boots, gold hoop earrings and shoulder-perched parrots. Very few of us made it through childhood without donning an eye patch and blackening out a tooth or two at Halloween. Well into our adult years, it’s still acceptable to sport shoes with skulls

Happy Birthday 4-H! - (USA)
I didn’t want 2008 to get away without mentioning that it’s the 100 year anniversary of 4H in Michigan! MSU, the home of 4-H in Michigan (since it’s a land grant university) has an exhibit of archival photos and documents. I’m a huge fan of 4H, and as I’ve written before, I think it’s one of the ways we can still make science and education FUN. 4H emphasizes hard work, self-teaching, experiential learning, teamwork, and friendship. Mastery. Generosity. Independence. 4-H has come a long way from
