Ask Ritika: "I Can't Afford My Textbooks..."
2011-01-05 09:00:00 The Question Dear Ritika, I'm just about to start my second semester of my first year of college, and I'm blown away by how expensive my textbooks are going to be. I am taking five classes, and the total cost for my books is going to be more than $1,000. Last semester, I just bought everything ...
Haleigh Cummings ? The Dirty Half Dozen
2009-09-15 22:07:00 It was TJ that came up with rather interesting phrase ‘The Dirty Half Dozen’, of course it is a reference to the top six suspects in this case, as seen through the eyes of the press. Our methods are not scientific, it is a list compiled through our observations, and by talking to people. In fact ...
Half-Hour History of Turbochargers
2009-09-15 16:03:00 Funny how history repeats itself. During the fuel crises of the 1970s, many automotive engineers latched on to turbochargers as a means of reducing weight and thus saving fuel while maintaining the power outputs we're used to. During the fuel crisis of the last couple years, turbochargers sudd
The beguiling half-truth, backbone of deceivers
2009-09-14 20:37:00 The inexpressible ‘Truth’ of which Sathya Sai Baba ever talks – which he says is both eternal and not graspable by any human mind (excluding his supposedly Divine mind) – is of such a transcendent and metaphysical nature that he admits it cannot even be expressed. Yet he constantly tells us he is telling us ...

Sai Baba censorship of facts, spreading of half-truths and untruth
2009-09-13 15:47:00 Everyone who stays at – or even visits – a Sathya Sai Baba ashram must tread most cautiously both literally and figuratively. The excreta of rubbish-scrounging pi-dogs and troops of monkeys are hardly a problem compared to the conspiracies of silence and secrecy which are enforced on all who enter there so as to keep ...
How to eat before the Chicago half marathon
2009-09-12 20:40:00 About 20,000 people will be headed to our great city of Chicago tomorrow for the Chicago Half Marathon. This 13.1 mile race gives runners the opportunity to prepare for marathons coming up while enjoying the view from Lake Shore Drive. For those of you entered in tomorrow's race I hope that you have prepared your body well, both physically and nutritionally. Many racers wonder if they should carbo load the night before the event. Most runners these days have forgotten the notion of eating heapfuls of pasta the night before. Many experts suggest that you do not eat anything that will bother your digestive tract the night before. So if you're not used to an overly large meal of pasta...

Half Dome Screen Wraps Games and Movies Around You

ConAgra, Kelloggs Catalina -- Half-Successful Attempt
2009-08-27 06:55:00 Today I tried stacking the ConAgra/Kellogs/Own Brands Catalina deal, buying $50 worth of stuff and hoping to get $20 in Cats. It didn't work -- I only got $10 in Cats. Then I returned $24.65 worth of the stuff (being careful to leave at least $25 worth of products on my receipt so that I fairly earned that Catalina coupon. I added a 99 cent filler (2 Liter of Super Chill Seltzer) and rang it up again. I failed to get the Cat again! Maybe the flavor of Seltzer I chose is not included? I will have to look it up on the UPC list to figure it out. Well, even I have my limits -- I'm not going to return...
First Half Reactions
2009-08-23 02:45:00 I'm going to watch the game again tomorrow morning and provide some details but these are my ten gut responses to the brilliant, brilliant, brilliant first half.1. If Denver wants another first round draft pick, they can have it. I know it's the preseason but we've never - in the history of the franchise - had quarterbacking like that.2. I'm this close to believing in this Marinelli bullshit they've been feeding us for six months. The pass rush was dominating; punishing the Giants' starting offensive tackles and making the game unplayable for Eli Manning. Can we finally stop taking Alex Brown off the field on third downs? AB is - without question - our best defensive lineman.3. Congratulations to Nathan...
The Half-a-Haircut Nightmare
2009-08-18 14:30:00 Photo credit: Jim Prisching/ Chicago Tribune I have a completely illogical fear whenever I get a haircut. You know how when you get a haircut, there's a moment when your barber or hairdresser or whatever has reached roughly the halfway point and you look completely ridiculous? You sit in that chair with the foot pump, wearing your little smock, and you have this bizarre bowl cut where that the top is all long but the sides are neatly trimmed? Or maybe you have one half of your hair pretty much finished but the other half is still shaggy and disheveled and you look like a punk rocker from forty years in the future? I always worry that at this...

Trees at Home Depot Half Off!
2009-08-06 04:43:00 In the post about espaliered trees I mentioned that I was inspired to buy Rick Bayless' urban edible garden to buy some and plant them in my garden. I noted that espaliered trees are usually the last to sell in the big box garden centers I visit. Well, I just came back from a local Home Depot and what do they have marked 50% off ? Fruit trees along with shade and flowering trees are on sale and they have a number of espaliered apple trees left. The trees are grafted with four varieties of semi-dwarf apples. Hopefully, they'll still have them tomorrow when I'll have access to a truck. At the bottom of the post on Northern Catalpa...

Chicago Cubs Second Half Predictions
2009-07-07 18:37:00 "I can tell you one thing: we're gonna need a lot more cocktails!" The second half of the season is upon us. LOHO appears to have survived intact, though Carl will be out with a flashlight and search party to bring in the rest of the stragglers. Doc, it's time to end the hunger strike. Gravedigger, come in off the ledge. Flyball, more coffee is not the answer to this season. Abe, dust off the standings flags with the Cubs at the top. Get out your "W" flags, prepare your bragging rights, and flip it up, spin it around, and strap it down (or whatever)! I've got a good feeling about the way things are headed. It's time to think...

Homicides are down 12.7 percent and crime either stayed the same or dropped since last year in 24 of the 25 Chicago Police districts, the study says.

Today's Groupon: Half Off at Veruca Salt Boutique
2009-07-03 15:51:00 Would like to find you some more elusive Chicago deals today, but I have to go off to the decidedly NON-bargain destination of Wrigley Field to see the Cubs (let's hope) cream the Brewers again. So until I return, you'll have to settle for today's Groupon: a $100 gift certificate to Bucktown and River North boutique Veruca Salt for $50. It will be available for the next three days so take your time deciding. Reviewers say this place is an "affordable" source of designer clothes, but browsing the Web site, I see that their perception of affordable is very different from mine. Mine usually involves the clearance rack at Target, so, you know. ...
You're on the Hook For Half a Million Dollars
2009-06-12 11:48:00 You won't be getting a bill in the traditional sense of the word. But according to a USA Today study, each American family is on the hook for almost $550,000 of government debt. I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of money. Do you?I guess I'll need to put off that vacation for another five years. Oh well. Traveling is getting too expensive anyway. The beef I have though, is that my house is not even worth what my family owes to the government. Thanks to our infamous Uncle Sam, who caused this mess by providing cheap credit, I owe more than my house to a inept government. That wouldn't be entirely the end of the world if I still didn't have a mortgage on top of that. Oh, and I still pay property taxes on that mortgage. Anyone see something wrong with this picture?How does it feel to be on the hook for half a million dollars? I think it stinks. Perhaps if we had something to show for it I wouldn't be as bitter. But with all the pork spending and the crazy Social ...

The movie will be released on July 15th, 2009.Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on...

What Use is Half a Wing - Evolution of Flight
