An Atlanta Utopia For The Rest Of Us: The Art Of Organized Noize

In 1994, the title track from the debut OutKast album, “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik,” hit the airwaves, and just like that, kids like me who had barely been outside of Ohio saw Atlanta for the first time. Even before the video arrived, if I pressed play on that song in a dark room, I could see the gleaming… Read more »

Britney Spears Covers Glamour UK: Hot or Not?

Britney Spears is back in a big way these days. With what some are calling the best album of her career in Femme Fatale and a happy, stable personal life, the future is bright for the 29-year-old. After stunning fans with her chic look on the VMA red carpet, however, you have to wonder if Glamour UK sold her a little bit short on its new cover. While her gleaming, feathered Matthew Williamson frock is stunning, the blue and orange color scheme is not. Plus the roots and raccoon makeup? The magazine claims to offer 568 cool looks, yet it couldn’t give Britney any one of them? Maybe we’re just being nit-picky here. You tell us below: Britney Spears’ Glamour UK cover is totally …

Could Subway Trains Generate Power with Regenerative Braking?

Photo: Flickr , CC Could Save Millions of Dollars Per Year Vehicles without regenerative braking are throwing away a lot of energy every time they brake (movement is converted into heat via friction on the brake pads). Hybrid and electric car address that problem by capturing as much of that energy as possible and converting it into electricity, and the same might be about to happen to subway trains with the added twist that it would be tied to the (smart) power grid. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPT… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Fight for Your Right to Drink Bottled Water (Video)

Photo via Life Dynamix There’s (thankfully) been a lot of attention focused lately on the behind-the-scenes influence of corporations on public policy and opinion — see Jane Mayer’s great expose of the extremely powerful billionaire Koch brothers for a good example. Over the last year we’ve seen corporations sponsor “grassroots” movements fighting health care reform, the oil industry back anti-climate legislation

Armoire Dressed In Fallen Birch Skin: Sawkille Co.

Photo: Chris Kendall via The New York Times Gleaming like arboreal wayfinders on a dark night, birches are trees that definitely stand out from the forest crowd. Their bark was traditionally used as paper and has medicinal properties, so it’s not too far a stretch to see them utilized in a decorative sense too, like in this gorgeous birch-skinned armoire by Rhinebeck, NY-based furniture designers Sawkille Co….

Kate Major Accuses Michael Lohan of Assault

Kate Major, who recently got engaged to Michael Lohan for some reason, is accusing Lindsay’s father of committing domestic violence earlier this week. We’re shocked. He’s such an upstanding guy. According to TMZ, Michael’s fiancee and Lindsay’s ex-assistant filed a report with the Southampton, N.Y., Town Police claiming he physically attacked her. On Monday at around 2 p.m., just before Michael flew to L.A. for the court hearing at which Lindsay was jailed , they began arguing, Kate told officials. Michael allegedly shoved her over a chair, injuring her shoulder. Michael Lohan’s relationship track record just got sketchier. Even more disturbingly, Kate Major claims that while she was on the ground after being pushed by Michael, the pathetic loser kicked her in the face. She claims she went to the hospital and has pictures of her injuries. Wow. Looks like M-Lo may have added woman-beater to his gleaming resume. For his part, Michael admits he got in an argument with Kate over their upcoming TV show (?!) but he didn’t touch her and she’s making it all up. Why would she do that exactly? He didn’t say. Think he’s lying? He’s also been accused of similar behavior by his most recent ex-fiancee, Erin Muller. And he’s served time in prison on multiple occasions. Just sayin’.
