David Yurman

2008-11-25T17:22:00.002-05:00

This new fragrance is supposed to be a blend of patchouli, exotic woods, natural rose, and fresh green petals. Sounds great, but at $120 a bottle it looks like I'll never find out.

Instead of buying cool stuff for baby, I just like to look at it online. At least this way I can have fun dreaming without the guilt of contributing to consumerism and landfills. (Onesie courtesy of InkydinkTees)

Wanna dress your baby in Che tanks, Ramones concert tees, record player retro raglans and Trumpette sneaker–socks? You decide if his genetic marker for cool came from the X or the Y (probably both!), but he’s a Babesta for sure if he snuggles up with Ugly Dolls like this one.

The 100-Mile Diet

2007-05-01T07:34:00.000-05:00

Their 100-mile diet began as a way to reduce dependence on the fossil fuels sucked up by the conventional food system, which sees food travel an average of at least 1,500 miles from farm to plate. But in the end, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon realized that what began as a struggle slowly transformed into one of the deepest pleasures of their lives. For the first time they felt connected to the people and the places that sustain them.

Tons of Free Music

2007-04-29T14:37:00.000-05:00

The Daytrotter Sessions: Recorded live at Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. Some of the biggest indie bands swing by the studio, e.g. Cold War Kids, Of Montreal, Dr. Dog, and more, swing by the studio to use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, and leave behind four absolutely collectible songs (downloadable for free! and they keep archives so you don't have to check in every week) that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments.

Australia is working to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction. According to Grist magazine, the carnivorous marsupial is dying out on its eponymous island, plagued by a contagious cancer. Scientists have sent nearly 50 of the beasts to zoos and want to move 30 more to nearby Maria Island, a former prison site that's now a wildlife sanctuary. Who knew they were so cute?

Save Darfur

2007-03-11T17:51:00.000-05:00

Did you know that 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes in Darfur, Sudan? Each day, they face threats that are hard for us to even imagine including rape, disease, and starvation.

These people need our help to put an end to the genocide and they need it NOW.

Please join me in taking the first step to stopping the violence.

Sign the Save Darfur Coalition's petition urging President Bush and the UN Secretary-General to take immediate steps to stop the killing.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of people in the region who desperately need outside help.

We Are What We Do

2007-03-11T10:33:00.000-05:00

It's made of cream canvas, costs a fiver, and is just fine for those little shopping trips. We Are What We Do has published two books since its birth in 2004. The first, Change the World for a Fiver, has sold 750,000 copies. The second, Change the World 9 to 5, released in September, is also recording huge sales. They list "actions" to improve our environmental, community and personal behaviour, such as "Smile and smile back"; "Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth"; and "decline plastic bags wherever possible". And now comes the bag.

A similar idea comes from the UN's World Food Program, where the purchase of one burlap sack = 1 child fed for 1 school year. The bag is available in April from Amazon.

Here’s a groovy display for people looking to add that extra dimension to their viewing material…

Gemotion is a soft, ‘living’ display that bulges and collapses in sync with the graphics on the screen, creating visuals that literally pop out at the viewer.

"If used with games, TV or cinema, the screen could give images an element of power never seen before. It could lead to completely new forms of media,” says Gemotion creator, Yoichiro Kawaguchi, a well-known computer graphics artist and University of Tokyo professor.

Vacation Close to Home

2007-01-06T22:47:00.000-05:00

AAA magazine inspired me to take a closer look at my own state for travel ideas. About an hour north from Roanoke on I-81, there's the Theater at Lime Kiln, "where entertainment comes naturally." If you decide to stay the night, there are cabins for rent and bed & breakfast resorts nearby in Lexington.

For a closer look at the area, the Lexington Carriage Company offers narrated tours through the business district, the adjacent college campuses, and a portion of the historic residential area. Natural Bridge and the Virginia Safari Park are on the way to your next stop: the Route 11 Potato Chip Factory. It's about an hour north of Lexington on I-81 in Middleton, VA.

When you've had enough of the spudmasters, turn the corner past Front Royal via I-66 and Route 340 to access Skyline Drive. At Shenandoah National Park, you can hike, bike, fish, camp, or just relax and enjoy nature's beauty. Sounds like a plan to me, and you're never more than 3 hours from home.

Lunch in Jerusalem

2006-11-07T22:41:00.000-05:00

From The Washington Post - ISRAEL
Plenty to Put in a Pita
Friday, November 3, 2006; Page A24

On Ben Yehuda Street in West Jerusalem, the sandwich of choice is the sabih: a pita filled with hummus, chopped boiled egg and deep-fried eggplant slices. You can request a sprinkle of chopped parsley, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and pickles. Then choose a sauce: spicy green, hot red, tangy tahini or spicy mango-pickle sauce. Brought to Israel by Iraqi Jews, the sabih costs about $3.50.

Or pick up a kebab in East Jerusalem. Ground beef patties seasoned with parsley, garlic, spices and lamb fat (for extra flavor) are threaded on skewers between cubes of onion and tomato and cooked over a small charcoal fire. Then the whole skewer is emptied into a pita, topped with fresh tomato and cucumber salad and hot red sauce. In front of the Damascus Gate, a kebab sells for just over $2.

What Cows and Junk Mail Have in Common

2006-11-05T17:47:00.000-05:00

The average person gets 41 pounds of junk mail each year. Make it stop for only $1 a pound. In an effort to prevent unwanted junk mail from entering your home, the organization is also helping the environment by reducing consumption and the waste that it takes to produce bulk mailings.

In related environmental news, for every 41 pounds of milk produced, cows create 32 pounds of manure. Vegans are up in arms about all this waste and would like you to switch to soy.

Roanoke's Green House

2006-10-25T22:00:00.000-05:00

Somewhere in the Gainsboro community of Roanoke, there's a cradle-to-cradle house. What the heck does that mean? Well, for starters, it's a modular design that minimizes or eliminates construction waste and adapts natural energy systems such as gray water treatment. The metal roof is coated to maintain comfortable interior temperatures, recycled pickle barrels will catch rainwater for irrigation, and low-flush toilets and energy-efficient appliances are part of the package. The decision to build the home in Roanoke City resulted from the designers' desire to associate sustainability with affordability and tradition.

This Film Is Not Yet Rated

2006-09-25T18:54:00.000-05:00

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a trade association, defines itself "as the voice and advocate of the American motion picture industry." But its rating system for films impacts much more than the industry. MPAA ratings affect a film's distribution and thus its financial success; this, in turn, limits what kinds of movies get made and what people get to see at the local movie theater. Sign this petition to join the campaign for a more fair and open cinematic experience.
