The lectures are happening in Delhi, so the times are a bit odd for us: Start time of the first lecture is Sunday, August 8 at 11:00 PM CST. Watch the lecture live. There will be another lecture on “Ethics for the New Millennium” Tuesday, August 10th at 3:30 AM CST. OK, there’s no way I’ll be [...] So, I just returned from a VK in Michigan. And it was surprisingly fabulous! I guess I never thought of Michigan as a must-see destination. I was wrong. Tourist highlights: All the lakes (including the obvious– Lake Michigan), amazing sunsets, sand dunes (undoubtedly made to throw yourself down in a series of cartwheels and somersaults), little [...]
After finishing my academic *stuff* on Wednesday, I was left with a strange void and question in my mind… “What now?!” The feeling was too much for me So, I went back to my second home (my MAC) and stumbled across a contest for the OWN Network. I was stoked to see [...] I’m sorry, I had to post this. I have no words…
I’m lovin Michelle Obama’s new initiative to improve the health of our kids:
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend about the cutting of music, art and physical education in schools. We started to talk about what we remembered in grades K-12… I remember paper-macheing my face in [...] There’s a new documentary about bananas. Well, more like conspiracy-deadly-fraudulent bananas. Here’s the quick summary: “In the film BANANAS!*, twelve Nicaraguan banana plantation workers are suing Dole for concealing the dangers of a pesticide that they claim made them sterile.” Check out the trailer for the film:
The chemical pesticide used [...] A continuation from yesterday’s post…
I watched the doco Yoga Inc. last night and found it to be pretty fascinating. The amount of money being thrown at yoga is enough to throw anyone into a back bend (no joke, I dropped way too much money on some yoga clothes just last month). [...]
Great lines from the documentary Enlighten Up!: Nick: ”When I’m twisting myself into a pretzel in the yoga studio, I’m thinking, ‘What the hell is the connection between this and enlightenment?’” Norman Allen: ”Nothin. Absolutely nothin.” Check out these clips:
I found these clips really fascinating and [...] These are the three things on my mind right now. I know, random. But, they’re kind of connected… Last week was finals week for me. Ugh. The dreaded week always gets the best of me. One day last week, I actually had malt balls for breakfast. Yup, malt balls. And quite a few of them. This evening was a bit [...] After my H1N1 post yesterday, I came across two great discussions about the potentially inflated statistics for H1N1 and on the safety of the H1N1 vaccine. Surprisingly good stuff by CBS:

What are your thoughts? Can the public handle full disclosure in regard to [...]
Babies have good reason to be colicky. And so do adults. Products that we use every day in our homes are full of toxic chemicals (learn more by watching the “10 Americans” video in an earlier WG post). The problem is that manufacturers of these products go through little [...] Mysterious physical pain is frustrating enough– and adding confusion, misdiagnosis and wrong treatment to the mix only amplifies the pain and increases the emotional struggle. It’s a real blessing then when answers come out about these mysterious aches and pains. Here’s a recent discovery: Dr. Richard Berger, an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, has identified the [...] A study conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) revealed some dirty info about cleaning products used in U.S. schools: EWG’s tests showed that as a group, these 21 products release into the air no fewer than 457 distinct chemicals, some of which are no doubt the source of that nice clean smell. The trouble [...] Here’s what Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, has to say about cancer screenings: “We don’t want people to panic, but I’m admitting that American medicine has overpromised when it comes to screening. The advantages to screening have been exaggerated.” This is such an important statement. We’ve been scolded by [...]
It’s interesting to notice that since The Biggest Loser has been back on, there has been more activity in the gym and more personal training sessions purchased. Of course, autumn also brings in more of the seasonal gym-goers, but I really think there is a surge from the reality show. In my personal [...] |
