Eeeeeessential

Oils to help you live... better  10-slide slideshow from TreeHugger.com on some amazing natural essential oils to help everything from bad skin, cramps, sore muscles, and the like.  Some benefits are obvious, e.g. mint helps your belly, but others like: lavender to fight germs is kinda sweet and explains why 7th Generation uses it in almost every one of its all natural cleaners. nature's pretty amazing.. i wonder what else is out there

personal preference

if you know me you know i'm down for using my natural abilities to get around [except for my excessive use of the subway but that's another story].... what i mean is i like to use my legs to get me around. i don't work out so i take any chance i can to get this heart of mine racing. Alright, my point: take the stairs... avoid elevators when you can and don't you even look at an escalator unless you have a 20+ pound suitcase - and even then just think about how great your arms will look if you have to lug it up with the strength of your body. This short video shows the creative efforts of some fine engineers to get more people to do just what i was blabbing about, Taking the Stairs. how'd they do it? watch and see.. it's awesome and if it gets people to use their legs i say lets do it everywhere.

burlington obsession

the love for burlington will always be strong.. but not nearly as strong as the love for good food and wonderful people, both of which can be found at Penny Cluse, 169 cherry st. BVT.  This a short film that documents a day in the life of penny cluse cafe.. created by Gardner, a former employee of p.c. as a parting-gift to the restaurant we all love so much. sit back and see how the most popular place in b-town gets down on a usual busy day. you will not be disappointed, if anything you'll be f'ing hungry for some huevos rancheros, homemade sausage, orzo salad, tofu scrams, etc. etc. etc. and the music done by Auggie is spot on. so ENJOY and get your butts up to P.C. and enjoy in person.
