Grilled Sotomayor…it’s Nutritious & Delicious!

Sure Monday kicks off the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, but the real heat comes on day two when Senators get a potential 9+ hours to question the judge.  From her history of allegedly “racialist” and “gender-biased” comments to the background politics haunting the old Democrat vs. Republican rivalry, we look ahead to day 2 and the grilling of Sotomayor.

Re-BURBIA

Is there an innovative, eco-friendly and practical way to re-imagine suburbia? The gauntlet has been thrown down by Dwell magazine and Inhabitat.com. What would you do with the vacant car-dealership in your neighborhood? Wouldn’t those display windows make for a great greenhouse? We talk design, suburban planning and forward thinking with the men and woman that make it happen.
