List of people giving peak Ferocity in 2009!
2009-12-09 03:13:00 Ferocity. If you don't know, now you know who was bringing it in 2009. Ferocity in my eyes is someone that could be in a drag show or fashion show at anytime day or night and work it out! Think Lady Gaga or Adam Lambert, these are people that just don't care what you or what I think... they just are what they are. Now why is this so important right now? BECAUSE EVERYONE IS FREAKIN BROKE AND WE NEED TO STOP SURVIVING AND START LIVING! The people on my list are living and giving a lot of face while doing so. My suggestion to anyone reading this blog, if you are going out or just bored flip through these pics...

The People's Tree: WGN Radio's John Williams lights his masterpie
2009-11-25 03:17:00 A few helping hands and a case of Old Style.WGN Radio host John Williams (Monday-Friday 9a-12p, 720 AM) held a special ceremony tonight, lighting "The People's Tree." When John heard that the city of Chicago spends $100,000 on setting up a Christmas tree in Daley Plaza every year, his eyebrows raised like most of his audience. Who could blame the city for thinking of passing on this year? John decided to take matters into his own hands and set up his very own tree. He asked his audience to chip in. A man quickly called and donated the tree itself. Next came the lights from Ace Hardware, and the ornaments from all of his listeners. Today the tree was officially...

People: California Foundation Snags School Reform Guru
2009-11-05 16:12:00 First the Carnegie Foundation picked a new president Tony Bryk (instead of Linda Darling Hammond). Then the foundation came up with a whole new set of priorities (something about community colleges, I think). Now they're bringing John Ayers, one of Chicago's best-known education connectors out to make things really work. In Chicago, Ayers was longtime head of LQE, a pro-charter nonprofit, and then helped with Greg Richmond's National Association of Charter School Authorizers. Most recently, he helped launch Union Park High Schools, an effort to bring unionized charter schools to Chicago. Bryk and Ayers know each other from the bad old days when they worked on the Chicago Consortium on School Research, a quasi-independent research outfit that other cities like NYC...
Neighborhood personality and why people stay in the city
2009-10-27 03:45:00 If you're thinking of buying or renting in the city, you should check out the RedEye's recent article on different personality traits in different neighborhoods. The article ranks on how agreeable, conscientious, open to experience, extroverted and neurotic people in those neighborhoods are based on surveys. I wonder if the surveys ask people to rank themselves or their neighbors, but I find the results intersting, since they make me both neurotic and open to experience. Also in the news, The Chicago 77 reports that more people are staying in Chicago, but not because of the great neighborhoods. It's because in the down market, it's easier to find a job in the city. I've experienced this first hand, and while it...

Flickr Adds Facebook Like People Tagging – Which One’s Better?
2009-10-22 11:40:00 Flickr, which for some years was the undisputed champ in photo sharing, recently lost the crown to the social networking giant Facebook. And now Facebook is the biggest photo sharing platform in the world. Some say that Flickr has become a more niche service with only serious photographers enrolling for it. But now, it looks as if Flickr is waking up and they have launched a new feature that has been at the forefront of photo sharing features on Facebook. This new feature which is called People in Photos lets you add a member to a photo, find photos of people you know, and manage which photos you’re in. For me, that’s two main verticals of any social network covered. To add someone to a photo, you type in the member’s name just like Facebook. One thing which is different and better from Facebook here is the fact that people can opt in and out of tagging. Also you can draw an outline around the person’s face to show clearly who the person is. The notification for being tagge...

2009-10-18 14:50:00 In this series of articles, tMF puts the spotlight on films which deals with certain important historical events or the portrayal of important historical figures. - - -- - - In Part 1, we're featuring 2 films - Goodbye, Lenin! and Little Ashes - and you might wonder why.... The complete details on the event or the historical figure and about the movies right after the jump! - - -The Berlin Wall, The Fall of Comunism and an Idealistic German YouthOn November 9, Europe will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. What better way to celebrate than to watch a movie with Berlin as the backdrop? During its existence from 1961 to 1989, the Berlin Wall stopped almost all such emigration and separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter of a century. The Wall included guard towers lining large concrete walls circumscribing a wide area (later known as the "death strip") containing anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. A...
Why More People Don't Collect Art
2009-10-15 01:51:00 It's our own damn fault more people aren't collecting artEditorial by Lisa Boumstein-SmalleyGallery Director Chicago Art Source Gallery Finding encouraging news about the number of people collecting art (even when the economy is good) is comparable to finding a Chicagoan without an opinion on pizza. So when the economy is screwed up, even more galleries close and artists scramble to pull their resources together. My question is, and I am not the first person to ask it...Why aren't more people collecting art?! As a person who lives for theories to evolve into epiphanies, here are a couple of ideas: Pure intimidation---Most people get their information from TV and movies. Gallery owners and...
Box office blog: People, sadly, don't retreat from 'Couples Retre
2009-10-11 23:46:00 Maybe people just wanted to flock to a movie with a lot of beautiful scenery.They couldn't have thought "Couples Retreat" looked good, could they? Or is it just a devotion to Vince Vaughn that lingers despite a recent streak of terrible movies? Well, whatever the reason, Vaughn's latest lazy comedy topped the box office over the weekend with $35.3 million, knocking last week's winner, the awesome horror-comedy "Zombieland," to second with $15 million. And people are clearly interested in getting spooked a few weeks out from Halloween: Sliding into the top 5 this weekend was buzzworthy indie horror flick "Paranormal Activity," which placed fifth with $7.1 million.What did you think of "Couples Retreat"? How excited are you for "Where the...

Kicking people until they have a conscience
2009-09-19 14:16:00 When I was seventeen, as part of the tests to graduate secondary school, we had to read three books from one author, and make short summary. I choose Louis-Paul ("Lowie") Boon, a Flemish writer, columnist, socialist and anarchist. He was not really educated. He was a house painter. But he was a born artist and story teller.He lived in poverty while he wrote his first book. After 400 pages of it, he discarded the relevance, and hung it from a string on his bathroom wall, so he could save on toilet paper. His wife took the manuscript, read it, took the last page and wrote on it: "Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera". She wrapped everything together in brown paper and sent it off to a publisher. It won the Leo J. Krijn Prize for literature.I did not read three books from Louis-Paul Boon. I got fascinated by him and read all of his books, about 30 or 40 by then. Some of the books had the size of an encyclopedia. And I did not write a summary, I wrote a 100 page thesis. My teachers collectively...

Not all pro-choice people are homicidal maniacs
2009-09-12 03:29:00 I'd like to be the first to say that I know many pro-choice people who are respectable members of the community. It would be completely unfair for I or any other pro-life person or group to use this horrible incident- where a pro-choice person decided to kill a gentleman he didn't know only because the gentleman wanted to protect unborn babies- to perpetuate a stereotype of the pro-choice as fanatics or homicidal preachers of hate in order to score cheap political points. You can be pro-choice and completely sane: it's just a different point-of-view that we should engage in good faith. Nor do I think that the pro-choice philosophy necessarily leads to violence and hatred. I'm sure Planned Parenthood, the Huffington Post, and other pro-choice organizations would have nothing to do with this man and are busy writing up condemnations as I type. (CNN) -- Authorities have charged an Owosso, Michigan, man with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder in the Friday shooting...

Should the CTA ban stinky people?
2009-09-03 13:00:00 Honolulu is considering an ordinance that would make it illegal to "bring onto transit property odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system, whether such odors arise from one's person, clothes, articles, accompanying animal or any other source."A violator could be thrown off the bus and issued a ticket by cops. If convicted, the person could be fined up to $500, spend up to six months in jail, or be both fined and jailed. The city council in Hawaii's capital city will take up the proposed ordinance today.But should the CTA ask for a similar ordinance here in our fair clime? The CTA says it will not.

Some people just need shooting
2009-09-01 14:03:00 "He brought it upon himself...I'm sorry they took his life, but he asked for it."80-year-old Vasken Bayenderian, referring to Jacob Stolarz. Stolarz held Bayenderian hostage at knifepoint before being killed by police.In other words, Stolarz needed shooting. Stolarz was politely referred to in news accounts as an "aggressive panhandler" instead of (perhaps more accurately) as a "knife-wielding loon" or "batshit crazy homicidal maniac". In any event, after Stolarz was identified a number of people came forward to talk about just how scary he was. Even one of his fellow (presumably non-aggressive) panhandlers described Stolarz as wrong: "His mind was messed up."There were some excellent comments made following my post last Thursday.

Ramadan, Price Hike and People
2009-08-30 10:36:00 Despite different announcements by the government the prices of commodities keep rising all the time. Unchecked price hike is particularly visible at three occasions; before and during Ramadan, before and after annual budget and in between whenever prices of Petrol go up.All nation and economies around the world respect their national and religious festive celebrations and reduce prices, announce clearance sales and help every one to make purchases. Pre Christmas sale is one of the best examples. Contrary to this spirit, we face unchecked price increase before and during Ramadan and before sacred occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. ?The present situation indicates that rulers are not consumer friendly as they are backing hoarders, investors, capitalists besides working on the agenda of IMF and WB,? says PRM President Dr Aasim Sajjad, ?sugar crisis was witnessed widely and the government pledged to deal with hoarders with iron hands but now situation was out of control? he added.

2009-08-28 14:51:00 If this don't beat all.The disgrace of American money greed continues.I just sit here typing, shaking my head in disbelief. In a sworn affidavit by a leading loan officer(whistleblower) this is how the Wells Fargo Stagecoach to Hell scam worked:Wells Fargo Bank would work hand in hand with Evangelical Churches to get the Churches to send people, of color, who needed a loan their way. In return for these "Marks"(and we are not talking about the Mark, Matthew, Luke and John Gospels here people) the church would receive 350 dollars. One has to interject here: "WHAT WOULD JESUS THINK?" "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?""I'm gonna go out on a thinking limb here and say that Jesus would not overturn the money tables in the Church as he did in the past. I'm gonna say Jesus would put a pox on the House of Wells Fargo Bank and all it's subsidaries and anyone who partook in these sordid crimes. I don't like thinking for J.C. and one can only speculate, but I bet I wouldn't be too far from the th...

Manufacturing In China. Because There Are 1.3 Billion People There.
2009-08-26 17:38:00 I expected the routine this morning from a Wall Street Journal article entitled "LG Display Plans Plant in China." I expected it would say that LG was going to be manufacturing in China either to save costs or, more likely, to diversify its manufacturing. But the following line from the article gave me an ah-ha moment: "China's LCD market is growing rapidly, so we felt it's necessary to manufacture LCDs from the region in the long run," said LG Display spokesman Park Sang-bae. Ah-ha! Now I know many of you have already realized this (and on one level, so had I), especially those of you in the business of buying and selling product, but China manufacturing is in its second wave. China's first wave was strictly for cost savings; its second wave is for internal consumption. In a backward analysis brought on by this article, I realized that many (maybe as many as three quarters of them) of my firm's clients who we have been helping go into China are going there more to sell t...

If you got a "hand up" and not a "hand out", Thank Teddy Kennedy.Bill by bill, provision by provision, he expanded government health support to millions of children and the elderly, helped millions more go to college, opened the immigration doors to millions of new Americans from continents other than Europe, and protected the civil rights bulwark of the '60s through a long period of conservative domination. And by the time his life ended yesterday, surrounded by loved ones in a gentle scene that contrasted sharply with the violent deaths of his brothers, Ted Kennedy had built a nuts-and-bolts legacy to stand beside that of his presidential brother as a figure of hope and his senatorial brother as a figureofcompassion.(taken from the Huff Po)And this quote from the Huff Po goes on to describeWhen people were getting tired of hearing about racism or the poor or the decay o... |
