Susan Miller's blogdance video of the day - Joy Meter 200%Submitted by Susan Miller on Fri, 03/05/2010 - 08:58.
Feelin' a bit sluggish? Here's one of my favorite dances that will prepare you to get off your ass and take a brisk walk to Pennsylvania or clean your house top to bottom. Jesus! These guys (no drugs invloved) have more energy in this one perfomance than I have shelled out in weeks! ( categories: )
the fungal underground of a broken citySubmitted by Susan Miller on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 10:23.
I attended a workshop on compost tea last weekend, and it has had me thinking about fungal hyphae ever since. I wrote up my observations from the workshop on Localfood Cleveland. But here it is again - the way decay works to bring forth creativity. ( categories: )

dying of thirstSubmitted by Susan Miller on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 08:55.
Cleveland Cavaliers pull water fountains from The Q; explanation doesn't wash with NBA Robbing us blind - just google Dan Gilbert or Cavs or Casino. Now you can't even get a drink of water at the Q. ( categories: )
valuing women in the global economySubmitted by Susan Miller on Wed, 02/03/2010 - 09:24.
On Monday at the Localfood Cleveland meeting (So you want to be a farmer), Darwin Kelsey, of the Cuyahoga Valley Countryside Conservancy, noted that farming in the future is gonna be largely women's work - women he said are just doing it more than men are. ( categories: )
Howard Zinn 1922-2010Submitted by Susan Miller on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 09:38.
What a contribution he made to the world! Democracy Now has an extensive archive of Zinn's talks to add to what Patel posted. But seriously, you can find his work everywhere. A beacon for hope, curious and determined to uncover and share truth. He will be missed.

Richard Florida, "I take it back."Submitted by Susan Miller on Wed, 01/20/2010 - 14:12.
Phew, the Cleve Orch dodged a bullet… Now we can sleep knowing that Severance Hall will not become an abandoned and empty place for scrappers to loot. But right around the same time, we can read about Richard Florida’s admission that some cities are just too damaged to play anymore. You can bet Cleveland is on his list. His solution? Move away… run, run, run as fast as you can. COAD expertise coming to NEOSubmitted by Susan Miller on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 12:36.

Pollan's Food Rules hits bookstoresSubmitted by Susan Miller on Wed, 01/06/2010 - 20:16.
Today as I waited for the new tires to be mounted on my car at Firestone at Cedar Fairmount I had an hour to chill. I went across the street and engaged in a favorite pastime - wandering around in a bookstore. In this case, Appletree Books was handy, and it's a great place, warm and bright and full of interesting reads. Whoa! What's that little book with the peas in a pod on the cover? ( categories: )
Cleveland to get gardensSubmitted by Susan Miller on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 10:56.
Well, it was a long time coming, but finally I recieved a list of the grantees for reimagining Cleveland. The press release dated November 17 was not posted at the time or the city's website is too convoluted to allow finding it, but here it is: City Anounces 58 ReImagining Cleveland Grant Program Recipients.

beyond the pale - Donald BarthelmeSubmitted by Susan Miller on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 08:31.
In the wake of last night's little squabble here on realneo, a friend emailed me with a link to the origin of the phrase "beyond the pale". S/he said that though it was the phrase that came to mind while reading through, she had never looked up the origin. I had looked this up, "beyond the pale", because I was a tireless researcher, learner when I was an artistic director, and one of the works we did - a duet, used this text. ( categories: )

ethanol?Submitted by Susan Miller on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 08:03.
photo courtesy morguefile by Jusben I used to think that someone would come up with a solution for living life the way I always have - with abundant energy, water and air. I used to think that there would be a solution that would make it possible for me to not feel guilt when I heat my home, turn on a light, drive my car. ( categories: )

Dike 14 offers suggested comments for USACE on new CDF, information and a petitionSubmitted by Susan Miller on Mon, 10/26/2009 - 07:55.
This came via email today. I urge citizens to read through the Dredged Materials Management Plan, or if you are already convinced that a new 200 acre port at E55th is not the solution, send the comments below. Add your voice to a rising chorus that does not see the efficacy of this ill concieved plan. Ed Hauser can no loger add his voice, we must speak. ( categories: )

James Levin - who knew?Submitted by Susan Miller on Sun, 10/04/2009 - 17:06.
Sometimes it is hard for me to catch up. 40+ hours per week digging, pulling, plucking and gathering, cutting and washing vegetables on the farm leave little time for me to catch up on what's new in Cleveland. So today I went digging for the recent stuff (hoopla) about the "new" Gordon Square Arts District. I watched videos and heard the yuppie mantras repeated (like they have a script that includes name dropping - SoHo, Dupont Circle, the numbers of businesses and economic development and jobs projection numbers).

NEO's bounty on a glorious last Saturday of summerSubmitted by Susan Miller on Sun, 09/20/2009 - 18:32.
This Saturday I actually left the compound. My roommate and I visited the Shaker Square Farmer's Market. I had to get Honey Crisp apples cause they're in season. And then we went to the Ohio City Bike Co-Op so that she could investigate a bicycle and then onto the Westside Market. Wow! What a cornucopia NEO farmer's are pulling out of the ground!
