Seder by visit
Posted By : Corey Bearak

We did not host this year.  We always hosted; tradition of sorts, and not just for Passover. Noneless, we joined my good friend Joshua for the seder he hosted with his wife Linda; I found myself rather relaxed with no carving and other related duties; we enjoyed the company and the food. The next night we joined my mom in a restaurant for a 2nd nig

Yes it's real
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Can anybody say fantasy? This Marvel looking exoskeleton is actually real.   The prototype 'mecha-exosuit' called the NK-01 is a nod to the Robert Downey Jr Iron Man movies as it's been put together by a team who obviously love comic books and cartoons.   The coolest part is that it can be piloted by a person wearing the suit. They say not to get a

Jealousy
Posted By : Fred Klein

Jealousy is defined as feeling resentment against someone because of that person's rivalry, success or advantages.   I think it's only human to be jealous.  And I admit to having harbored that feeling many times over my life. However, for whatever the reason, as I get older I seem to suffer those pangs far less often.   Maybe jealousy springs from

Here's how the story came to me. My brother-in-law was waiting in his car on line at his local gas station. Apparently, there is a time honored method to the queue at this particular station. My brother-in-law is very mild mannered, so I imagine that he never expected what was to come next. A car pulled up next to him and the driver rolled down hi

Successful People
Posted By : Cayce Crown

in the last two days, I ran into Christian Slater, the actor, at Duane Reade and Luis D. Ortiz, of Million Dollar Listing, at the World Financial Center. It always cheers me up to see these "celebrities", when I'm out and about in the Greatest City in the World, New York City. I think its because these successful people are out and about on the str

This Week's Networking Question
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  This is an audience of people who network. That means you are out in the world every day meeting new people and forging new relationships. But, we all know that the trick in networking is really in building that relationship. We make loads of contacts but how many can you convert to great resources. So, here is my question for you today. Wh

"Your Voice Mail is Full"
Posted By : Rona Gura

I received the usual message on my cell phone yesterday, “your voicemail is 90% full.”  As usual, I had not listened to a single message.   Most often, when I get a missed call on my cell phone, I just  tend to call the person back. I hardly, if ever, take the time to listen to their message.     So, if you call me on my cell phone and I don’t answ

Really?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

I think we might want to start locking up our laundry detergent and making sure we have a password for our WiFi.   Sometime last week a naked 28 year old man was arrested after he broke into a north Georgia home through a pet door.   He entered the home nude to shower, wash his laundry and to use the owner’s WiFi. The police incident report says th

The Primary
Posted By : Benjamin Geizhals

I can't remember a presidential primary in New York that made a difference. Usually, the nomination is decided well before the New York primary. Not this year. We're actually getting the TV ads, the campaigning, the candidates, even a debate in Brooklyn! I have a premonition, perhaps a concern, that New York will make a difference. We will look bac

Would It Make A Difference?
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  All of the food products we buy include a calorie count. Even restaurants now include that same calorie count on the menu. Do those disclosures influence your choices? What if those disclosures also included a visual of how much exercise would be needed to burn those calories? For example, the snack bag of potato chips would include a drawing

Turning the Beat Around
Posted By : Rona Gura

Cayce’s blog from last week inspired me to this blog. While Cayce wrote about the challenges she faced turning her diet around into a healthier lifestyle, I had the opposite challenge. In preparation for a minor procedure I had (I am absolutely fine), my doctor requested that I flip my diet around. I was advised not to eat vegetables, fruits, whole
