Welcome "The Windy City Rounder"
2009-11-17 19:33:00 We launched an exciting new blog today, "The Windy City Rounder," written by Chasse Rehwinkel. I'm so happy to be bringing Chasse and his blog onto ChicagoNow. His blog brings something totally original to the Life & Style offerings. Chasse talks the art of gaming over on 'Rounder,' and we're not talking the kind of gaming you do on your PS3. His specialty is gambling, poker to be exact, but he's game to discuss anything from billiards to MNF best bets. So take a minute and welcome this self professed vagabond to the ChicagoNow community! ...

Lazy Days of Summer in the Windy City
2009-07-08 15:59:00 Recently we alluded to an upcoming photo shoot with New York City (via Chicago) photographer, Karl Rothenberger (have we mentioned how much we love him?!) We had planned an outdoor shoot but the weather in Chicago has been a little tricky and unpredictable, so we were nervous. As it turned out, our worries were completely unfounded. We managed to shoot on the one day when it was absolutely beautiful -- not too hot, not too humid, not too cold, and not raining (if you live here, you know what we're talking about).We shot at one of Chicago's most beautiful and picturesque spots (and a very well-kept secret), the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool at the Lincoln Park Zoo. So serene and quiet...
Windy Spring Day
2009-03-23 10:31:00 Very windy today.Hats flying.Bicyles upended.People leaning at 45 degrees into the face of gale force gusts that ambush them as they head round the sides of buildings.The barely opened cherry blossoms and magnolia blooms took a battering from the winds today after enduring a miserable grey wet day yesterday.Up in Tokyo a FedEx cargo plane crash-landed and flipped.Judging from the film of the landing and speculation on NHK it seems wind shear had a part to play in the accident.I saw this new Haagen Dazs flavour recently.Green tea latte.I found it pretty bland.The green tea flavour isnt strong enough to overcome the accompanying vanilla tasting ice cream which nullifies its strength.An uneasy mix which I wont be trying again.A couple of Hello Kitty bottles that I spotted in the Sanrio shop the other day amid the pink decor and other Hello Kitty merchandise.

Cold morning, windy day
2009-01-15 23:22:00 This picture I took on my walk this morning. The temperature is -18 C (0 F) and, although it's hard to make out, the steam rising from the water was mesmerizing. The lake is Lake Ontario. Here's another picture I took from roughly the same location a few weeks ago during a wind storm. We seldom see whitecaps on this lake, so it's quite exciting to see waves. The storm had winds up to 129km (75mph), which is worthy of a Category One hurricane. The winds took out a 40' tree on our neighbouring property. Missed our house by 1 foot but killed the fence.

Rumsy the Poo and the Windy Day
2008-03-15 04:51:00 FRIDAY, MARCH 14Actually there’s nothing about Rumsfeld today. It was windy, thought. I had my 6 months melanoma check-up, the 22nd since my insitu was removed. The Dermatologist said we’ve basically removed everything that can be removed. He also told me now that the 10 years are up, he is very optimistic. He said that 75% of all new melanomas will just appear, and not be from nevis, so we need to be vigilant, but he is fairly certain I may be okay. I do have all the “signs” red hair, green eyes, sunburn very easy, many moles, etc. ...

30 years of windy moors
2008-02-26 16:50:00 Noise (a San Francisco Bay Guardian blog) marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of The Kick Inside by Kate Bush. The sixth track was Wuthering Heights:"Wuthering Heights": what to say? Simply put, the most unashamedly bold-stroked romantic gesture ever made on the airwaves. It ended up an enormous hit all over the world, except for here in the states, and in the process sent many a listener scurrying to the local bookshop or library for Emily Bronte's finest. And who could ever forget the video? Out to the wiley, windy moors, then, shall we? (Kimberly Chun)Eye for Film reviews the recently published new DVD edition of Jacques Rivette's Hurlevent:The single most striking memory of this film is its brilliant transposition of the characters and plot [from Wuthering Heights] from the wilds of Yorkshire to the wild, sun-drenched landscapes and isolated farms of the Cévennes in France - beautifully filmed by Renato Berta. His camera seems to capture each nuance of the countrysi...
