Five Ways to Survive the "Chicago End of Days Blizzard of 2011"
2011-02-01 17:57:00 What does the blizzard that's going to wipe out Chicago have to do with Reality TV? Why nothing...nothing at all. Except maybe you can watch a marathon of "Real Housewives" over at Bravo or something. But since a 25ft wave from Lake Michigan might take everything out from Lake Shore Drive to Naperville Rd. I thought it best to share with y'all a little ditty I posted over at the Mothership yesterday. Sure you people from New Jersey laugh at us in our panic over 2ft of snow in 24 hours after you guys had 27ft of snow falling in three days, and we're not even sure Newark didn't fall into the ocean, but bare with us. It's been uneventful weather...

How to Survive the Holiday Eating Frenzy
2010-11-22 12:00:00 The holidays give us the opportunity to enjoy family, friends and most of all FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. From now until the New Year, almost every favorite relative will encourage us to partake in what I call the "SEEFOOD Diet". There will be plenty of ham, turkey, pot roast, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, vegetables, breads and desserts gracing the dinner table. It is very hard to turn down any one dish because someone will surely get offended, at least that is the excuse I always use. What should only last of couple of days becomes weeks of indulging in bad eating habits. But wait, it is okay that we've splurged for an entire month because our New Year's weight...
Bulls survive Arenas, play lousy basketball, but get the win
2010-11-14 13:36:00 I'm guessing that Tom Thibodeau wasn't handing out victory cigars in this one, in fact, I'm pretty certain he was ripping the team a new one in the locker room after this game, because they were fortunate to get a win playing so poorly. All that said, you never really felt the outcome of this game was in doubt. It was only as close as it was because Gilbert Arenas had one of those nights and drained 7/10 from the three point line.Give the Bulls credit, because whenever the Wizards tried to make a run, the Bulls came down and took care of business to shut the door on them, but this is a game that they could have won...

Can the Middle Class Survive This Economy?
2010-10-10 01:33:00 There are 14 million unemployed and underemployed workers or 17.7% of our population, either looking for a job or working in a job that is below their experience level and education. Many of these job seekers are middle class workers all trying to hold on to a lifestyle that they have become accustomed to. The comfortable lifestyle that the middle class has been living is evaporating before our eyes as our current administration continues to make bad decisions in an effort to stimulate our lethargic economy that only grew 1.7% in the second quarter of this year. Experts say we need 2.5% annual GDP growth to prevent our already high unemployment rate from rising. The economy needs to add...
Book Review: "How To Survive the Recession, A Vermont Perspective&
2010-09-03 01:20:00 "How to Survive the Recession - A Vermont Perspective" by Bob Stannard: A fun read by Manchester Vermont resident Bob Stannard made up from some newspaper columns he wrote in recent years plus new material especially for this book. Bob figured he could help his country in this time of trial and tribulation by explaining how Vermonters get up every morning (well, most mornings), pull on their boots, and go about the task of wrestling with the bear (i.e., living).Bob sketches the characters (and I mean characters in every sense of the word) he has met and events he has witnessed or instigated, and uses these vignettes to show how Vermonters deal with the challenges and rewards of life.The book in written in a conversational voice thankfully lacking in pretense. If you stopped by Bob's house, sat down with him in front of his fireplace and asked him what it's like to live in Vermont, this book would be his response. It's a very easy and quick read. For the most part he does not stra...

But beneath the relief are churning stomachs, nervousness, and ultimately sheer effing terror at what comes next.If you're graduating high school, everyone is telling you that the next four years will be the best in your life. You're thrilled at the prospect of a parent-less, curfew-less lifestyle, but simultaneously petrified at the idea of getting stomach flu without your mommy there to take care of you. My advice: Throw yourself into college life as much as you can. Join clubs, go to parties,...

Our Bean Can Survive the Apocalypse
2010-02-15 14:34:00 Credit: Emmanuel Dunand, AFP/Getty ImagesThe tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai--a testament to Dubai's hyper-inflated financial bubble, had to shut down only a month after opening due to electrical problems and a host of other issues, according to the Associated Press. This just confirms what I've long suspected: That the actual greatest monument in the world is the Bean in Chicago. This mostly has to do with disaster movies, but we'll get to that in a second. The Bean, housed in Millennium Park, is--as all of you Chicagoans already know--just an enormous silver bean. That's it. But that's also why it's so brilliant. The Bean never shuts down; it never stops; it never gives up....
Huet should survive Turco trade rumors to Blackhawks and stay in goal
2010-02-10 21:28:00 The rumors, true or not, are bound to start circulating now about the possibility of the Blackhawks looking into a trade for Stars goalie Marty Turco, the guy they beat Tuesday night 4-3 in a shootout. In fact, it was mentioned on ESPN.com in a blog posting Wednesday between reporters Pierre LeBrun and Scott Burnside. Turco surely looks expendable in Dallas after GM Joe Nieuwendyk acquired goalie Kari Lehtonen from Atlanta Tuesday in a trade. But would Turco be an upgrade over Cristobal Huet? I don't see how....

Can SMS Ever Be Dead? Can You Survive Without Them?
2009-09-10 10:29:00 With the ever-improving telecom infrastructure, can it ever happen that one fine day people stop text messaging once in for all? Vinay Goel, Head of products, Google India certainly thinks so. In a recent interview, Mr.Goel predicts that people are moving more and more towards e-mailing via their mobile phones that SMS may become obsolete pretty soon. “Typically, the data plans currently on offer charge 10 paise for 10 kb. So an email of say 100 bytes would cost 0.1 paise as compared with an SMS of around 100 characters which normally costs Rs 1″ he said. So, will text messaging die? It simply cannot, in my opinion. And this is not the first time SMS has a death warrant issued against it, either. Way back in the early part of the decade, when mobile phones with MMS capability became common, it was often argued that a picture is worth a thousand words and so people are no longer going to use the plain text messages. SMS has come a long way since then. Mr. Goel has fai...

Will "lingerie" football survive?
2009-09-04 22:01:00 The Sears Centre will transform itself into a legitimate football arena for female football or a giant gentlemen's club in disguise. What do you think? I'm staring at a group of Chicago Bliss season tickets that I'm hesitant to take. My wife will kill me if I try to set foot in that stadium. But if the football playing is quality, I'm going to the Lingerie Bowl. Chicago Bliss Dennis McKinnon, former Bear, will be coaching the ladies as Chicago gives the green light on scantilly clad women on the gridiron. But is this any different than men wearing skin tight pants? I think not. Women love to see well cut wide receivers and burly middle linebackers running after the pigskin. So...
How to survive an abnormal pap smear

An abnormal pap smear might happen to one of *your* girls and then you should know how to help for a change. Instead of just sitting around, scratching your balls.

How to Survive a Family Reunion
2009-08-18 01:53:00 Photo from Queen Photographer Extraordinaire and Awesome Cousin: Karen Thayne I was making the 1100 mile journey for my kids. Our family hadn’t pulled off a decent reunion since the late 1990s when the economy was booming, my hair was out of control, and Nana was still alive. Since then, I’ve seen relatives at the usual places – weddings, funerals, and the occasional sheriff’s website, but somehow that wasn’t enough. A reunion sounded like fun. It would mean getting into a car with two kids I’d threatened to sell overseas less than a week earlier. It would mean having to smell my Uncle’s chili. It would mean close encounters with flying false teeth. But at almost ten years of age, Oldest and Youngest didn’t know half their family members. This year, that would change. Even if it meant group therapy and medication later in life for all of us. But I wasn’t making the drive for me. I was subjecting myself to lectures about inappropriate humor, drunken ramblings about...

Could you survive in a public housing high-rise? Part I
2009-06-30 20:45:00 The Tribune's Sara Olkon wrote today on the tension between public housing residents and condo owners at Westhaven, which I blogged about when WBEZ's Natalie Moore covered it a few weeks back. Same stuff - condo owners get mad because CHA residents hang out in public spaces. We always talk about how the condo owners want it quiet and don't want people hanging around. I can sympathize with that. It's annoying to have loud neighbors. They keep you up at night. It's disconcerting to see people you don't know hanging around your building.But here's the thing: that's only one way of looking at it. We talk about building skills a lot with public housing residents. Educational skills, job skills, interview...
How to Survive Living at Home With Your Parents…When You are Almost
2009-06-28 02:49:00 If you find yourself back home with the ‘rents while looking for a place to live, towing a spouse and two kids behind you, here’s how to get through the experience with some style and grace. What makes me an expert? One time I yelled “NASCAR isn’t a sport!” Just last week I tasted Mom’s leftovers, accidentally ate bacon, and ended up on the toilet for three hours. Don’t get me started about where I mistakenly stored my love toys. (Hint: Stay away from dresser drawers marked Rosary Collection.) Style and grace. Trust me. Here we go. 1. Pretend you are deaf and blind. This is especially helpful if you are a converted Jew who hardly believes in God and your parents are devout Catholics.

Natalie Neff and her Fiesta survive a roque tire
2009-06-15 12:44:00 Natalie Neff, an up-and-coming editor at AutoWeek, was almost killed by a runaway tire. The tire came off an old Cutlass traveling in the opposite direction, took a bounce, and came down on top of the Fiesta she was test driving at approx. 75 miles per hour. Thanks to fate and the Fiesta's boron steel windshield frame, she survived and walked away from the incident. Read her article about it here: http://www.autoweek.com/article-/20090610/CARNEWS/906109990&nbs-p; There remains the question of how a tire came off the Cutlass. Presumably the owner was ticketed... presumably the tire was improperly torqued or was worn out. Kudos to Ford for the new Ford Fiesta. This car clearly isn't some cheap little econo-box. It's a very well designed car, high quality, and carefully executed. This, and the upcoming new Focus, demonstrate what the Europeans have been telling us for years: that quality, luxury, and driving dynamics can be had in small cars. These ...
10 Ways to Survive Facebook
2009-06-09 23:08:00 To maintain good mental health and cut down on panic attacks, one should follow a certain set of rules when using Facebook, Twitter, and other online networking sites. I would argue even the free-for-all, but not-for-you, bulletin boards over at Craigslist demand a certain protocol and code of ethics. For example, Downtown Dolly doesn’t do fecal play. Don’t make her flag your ass. I’m not suggesting we need online security guards to enforce and punish. Rather, policing ourselves seems the way to go. My guidelines should be considered *suggestions* instead of commandments written in stone. View the following as a living list, if you will, sort of like Catechism. Feel free to pull a Pope and add or subtract as you deem necessary. Come on, peeps, you know yourself. What will allow you to interact positively with as many people as possible without wanting to slit your wrists? Adhering to my behavior norms will set you free. Pinky swear. Who am I to offer such advice? I...

How to Survive Summer Camp - Or Not
2009-06-08 20:46:00 In honor of summertime, one of my Sunday Journal entries published in The St. Petersburg Times… I arrived at summer camp with my sister and an attitude. “Look at the cabins, trees and flowers,” Michele said, full of preteen optimism. A few years older, I knew there was nothing to get excited about. “You think sharing a room with me is bad,” I said. “You’ll be ready to scream after a week with six other girls and no air conditioning. When we go outside for a breath of fresh air, millions of mosquitoes will be there to greet us.” I preferred a performing arts camp in the city where we’d sing, dance, and act for adoring audiences. My mother hoped I would discover something about myself during this weeklong learning experience. I knew better. During our first camp meeting, the counselors outlined policies and procedures. They discussed hikes and other adventures where we’d see and learn about plants, trees, rocks and wildlife....
