Forrest Yoga was Made for You
2009-10-23 13:58:00 Forrest Yoga ain't your typical yoga. On a physical level, Forrest Yoga, developed by Ana Forrest, was designed for the Western body. When yoga was created there was no sitting at the computer for 8-10 hours or using your shoulder to keep your cell phone glued to your ear, so Forrest is very conscious of keeping the neck relaxed, opening the hips and shoulders and strengthening the core. There's a deep focus on the breath to get students into their own bodies and to help flush out toxins. Poses are held longer and your encouraged to find your edge yet respect your limits. ...
Made in Chicago: "She Beads"
2009-10-22 22:19:00 Turn on the television or pick up a newspaper, you'll find plenty of stories about manufacturing jobs that are leaving the United States or are long gone. Not so with Glenview-based "She Beads." Sandy Reuve got the idea for her exotic bead company while working with the Chicago Bulls back in the 1990's, the championship years that brought Chicago a sports swagger. While sitting in her locker room office (she was a medical technician), a certain Mr. Michael Jordan approached her about those beads she would assemble in her spare time. He asked her to make some for him. Of course, she obliged....

Could "2012" be the worst movie ever made?
2009-10-06 06:47:00 Quick advice - never, never, never, never judge a movie based on its trailer. A great marketing team can make a disaster appear irresistible. Other times, the best trailers make the worst movies.After watching tonight's "Monday Night Favresicle," I ran across the latest clip from Roland Emmerich's "2012," the upcoming disaster flick from the man who brought us "Godzilla," and "Independence Day." Big thanks to Roland and the gang for getting us to cut back on our carbon footprints with "The Day After Tomorrow." Looks like it's going to make a whale of a difference in a few years.Maybe it's the horrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator.

Broadband tax ‘to be made law’
2009-09-23 15:01:00 A broadband tax, which will see everyone with a fixed telephone line paying 50p extra a month, "will be law before the next election". This is according to the Stephen Timms, the Minister for Digital Britain. Speaking at a debate in London, Mr Timms said the tax will be presented to parliament as part of the Finance Bill. But the Tory MP John Whittingdale said the tax, which could raise up to £175m a year to fund high speed networks, would be opposed by the Conservatives. "I’m confident the Conservative party will oppose it. I object to it on the basis that it is another tax and is aimed at people who are using old technology," said Mr Whittingdale, who is also chair of the DCMS (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) select committee. Speaking at a debate organised by BCS (The British Computer Society), Mr Timms reiterated the government’s commitment to the levy and the other recommendations of Lord Carter’s Digital Britain report. ...

I made it through the Blackhawks 5k
2009-09-21 06:34:00 I successfully survived the Blackhawks Mad Dash to Madison 5k. I am extremely happy with the way I performed in the race. I ran with the Media team which included individuals from some of Chicago's Media outlets, to name a few; Amy Freeze, Jimmy Greenfield, Chris Sowers and Melissa McGurren. Everyone on the team did great. Chris Sowers suggested that I didn't start off too quickly so that I could make it all 3.1 miles. So I made sure to start with a good pace. However, by the time we hit the 3rd mile my knees were starting to hurt, my hips were getting tight and my hamstrings felt like they were going to detatch from my pelvis(I know, quite...

Trash Temple Made Recycled Plastic in Rotterdam
2009-09-16 17:34:00 Trash Temple Made from 100 tons Recycled Plastic in RotterdamA temporary yet inspiring structure is what Salzig Design is creating as part of the 2007 Follydock Festival, the Trash Temple. Made from 100 tons of pet bottles that are pressed into bales, this green structure is built in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This one of a kind structure may not be erected already but the inspiration of building structures that make use of the possible harm to the environment we produce each day particularly the plastic bottles is still there and influenced many future and present designers and architects. Various green projects are already created following the trash temple including the watershed, plastic boat, and the recycled bottle greenhouse.

Come proprietario del Milan, avrei grandemente voluto assistere alla partita di stasera di Champions league. Ma ho accettato l'invito. ... Siamo circondati da farabutti in tivù, stampa e politica.

How they made Stonehenge and my next projects
2009-09-12 22:30:00 It's inspiring when people spend their own time to help humanity understand its past. In fact, watching this guy move those huge stones motivated me to figure out some other mysteries. This weekend, my brother-in-law and I will go over to the quarry at Irwindale and recreate one of those Easter Island thingies- Maori, I think. During my vacation in December, I plan on renting leasing some cheap land, maybe an old Circuit City or something and burning one of those Nazca crop shapes into the ground. I'm also watching the extended Blu-Ray of Mel Gibson's Apocalypto to figure out how those wily Mayans knew about JFK's death. Hopefully I'll get to finishing it in a couple of years, around Chikchan 14th or thereabouts.

ImHalal, a search engine made for Muslims
2009-09-02 14:55:00 Let's say you are a Muslim and you are totally not satisfied with the search filters provided by Google and other search engines. Here comes a search engine named ImHalal that will give you the ease to search the Internet without coming across any content that might be considered as 'Haram' according to the Islamic Law. For a test, we entered some queries such as Alcohol, Nudity etc and were impressed to see that ImHalal does exactly what it's supposed to, it blocks the query and warns the user since the results for the query may contain Haram content. Thats not all! ImHalal even gives you a rating for the searched query if its explicit or contains any sort of Haram content. Moreover, it is able to fetch not only links, but also images and news for any particular query. The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be 'Halal' or 'Haram'. Now it may not be the best search engine out there but it still comes with a noble purpose....

CVS Transaction: Made $4 Thanks to Crap I Didn't Need
2009-08-29 21:04:00 Note: The deals in this post are good through store closing tonight. Recently I was showing a friend how to make money and get free stuff at CVS. During that week, I got a couple packs of highlighters for free after a coupon, in order to boost my total up to $20 so I could use a $4/$20. "Don't you end up getting a bunch of crap you don't need?" she asked. Well, yes. But the crap always seems to find people who do need it.

William Childress: "How the Earth Was Made"
2009-08-22 22:59:00 William Childress is a Pulitzer-nominated author and photojournalist who is regarded as one of the foremost poets of the Korean War. His books include Burning the Years and Lobo. "Chilly" is a Winning Writers subscriber and an endlessly entertaining correspondent. He emailed me one of his latest poems, which I liked so much that I got permission to reprint it here. Though I don't share the narrator's atheistic conclusion, I can relate to the feeling that God's creation is so much grander and more mysterious than some of our stunted human concepts of the divine. Sometimes, religious ideas (like any ideas) can be a distraction from appreciating what's right in front of us. How the Earth Was Made I was a youngster when I walked a trail Through autumn woods a nonexistent god took credit for. I never thought it odd that to a child, the world was magical, and yellow was the color of enchantment. It wasn?t simply that a golden hue should bejewel and complement the blue eternal arc th...

Six More Keys To Quality Product Made In China.
2009-08-12 20:45:00 The other day, I did a post entitled, "The Six (Not Five) Keys To China Quality." In response to that post, Rich Brubaker, over at the All Roads Lead to China blog left a long and very thoughtful comment adding six additional things that should be done to better ensure quality Chinese manufacturing. I found those six items so spot-on that I am turning them into a post to give them greater play: 1. Take the time to establish the right partners and processes. Don't come to China with a list of three suppliers found on Alibaba and don't work on a time line. Get it right from the start, and if need be, take a short term hit and continue producing in the US/ EU until the China platform is ready. Should things fail, it will cost a lot more than a few months of the existing process. Dan: This is so true. Everything in China manufacturing takes longer than you think and way longer than your Chinese manufacturer will tell you. Your manufacturer is key; choose it wisely and not und...

Made In America. Not China.
2009-08-12 01:15:00 Fascinating collection of articles over at Forbes Magazine on American manufacturing and how it does and should compete with China. The introduction gives a good description of the themes the articles. Made in America meant something very different 30 years ago. It will mean something very different 30 years from now. All we can do is make good guesses. The facts are that 12 million adults make something for a living in the U.S., and their output accounts for $1.6 trillion, one-fifth of world manufacturing, more than that of any other nation. Yet our unprecedented manufacturing muscle is, to many, and justifiably so, in a state of crisis. Those 12 million jobs were once 19.5 million jobs. Since its peak in 1979, factory employment has never stopped falling. The hard truth? It never will. Manufacturing is always in crisis. Productivity eliminates jobs here, in China, in Mexico and everywhere. Making goods will continue to play an important part in our economy, but it will employ ...
