  • Saving All My Love for You

    Published: February 14, 2012 by Suzanne Flynn Categories: Arts & Entertainment Comments: 1

    Never before has a song about having an affair with a married man been sang with such fervor then by Whitney Houston in the mid-90s. That is until this morning when I sang it for my husband and dogs fashioning a TV remote as my microphone.

    I was at a baby shower on Saturday night when we found out Mrs. Brown had died. As of today, when I’m writing this, they haven’t determined the cause of death. Of course we’re all speculating it was drug related considering she was only 48 and had a very bad history with serious drug addiction and abuse.

    Even if she were still in recovery, after... read on

  • Be Selfish, Give More.

    by Mary Catharine Grau

    Remember the Friends episode when Phoebe and Joey get into an argument about whether or not a good deed can be completely selfless? (No? I sum it up in the footnote below.)  While theirs was an argument about whether it was possible to do a good deed and not feel good about it, I’ll make it one of semantics, and say that I’m with Phoebe. Selfless is defined as “concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own; unselfish.” Feeling good about your actions doesn’t mean the act wasn’t done in with someone else’s needs and wishes in mind before... read on

  • Orindytation: Lesson 8 - Beating the winter blues

    Published: January 18, 2012 by David Feinberg Categories: Food & Drink Comments: 0

    Now that we are into January we are beginning to get into the full excitement of the Super Bowl.  In a few weeks that excitement will have come and gone and I will be dreaming of warmer days in the summer.  There are a few things that I really love to have on the cold days of winter to help make me feel like it’s the summer.   The first is Natural Born Juicers.  Their fresh juice helps provides some of the vegetables that I know my diet is missing in the winter.  Then there is Lick Ice Cream with some of the most unique flavor options in the city.

    If you are reading this blog post, I am making a few assumptions about you.

    Whether or not any of these are true, the effort to improve mass transit in Central Indiana is at a critical point and I’ve... read on

  • IDADA’s Super Bold Event - TURF IDADA Art Pavilion

    Published: January 10, 2012 by Kenan Farrell Categories: Arts & Entertainment, Culture & Diversity Comments: 1

    At the annual Start With Art Luncheon in September 2010, Mayor Ballard asked the Indy arts community to "Be Bold." The IDADA board took that message to heart and came up with an ambitious idea, the final result of which is now just days away. All IndyHubbers should make plans to attend TURF: IDADA Art Pavilion sometime between this Friday and Super Bowl Sunday. This event is a first-of-its-kind and has never been done in a Super Bowl host city.

    The IDADA Art Pavilion consists of over 20 experiential art installations. Some of your favorite local artists (find a full list at the IDADA Turf... read on

  • Facebook—on the way out of favor?

    Published: December 19, 2011 by Suzanne Flynn Categories: Lifestyle & Wellness Comments: 2

    After a few months of hearing people complain about Facebook, their “friends”, and the fact that apparently, my 15 year reunion was a flop of disinterest, I am really starting to believe what I couldn’t a few years ago.

    I noticed this weekend more examples of the disenchantment with Facebook. While out for a friend’s birthday, it was referred to as “Faceplace” and I heard teasing about status updates of fellow users.

    Probably about 6+ years ago, 18-21 year olds were annoyed/ mortified as the 22-60+ year old population invaded and polluted Facebook. We were all still rocking Myspace... read on
