Why The Wall Street Journal Thinks Women Without Husbands Are Worthless
EliteDaily.com, February 20, 2014
The Wall Street Journal ran an article entitled ‘A Little Valentine’s Day Straight Talk’ last Friday. And, of course, since love tips I glean from WSJ are as good as gospel, I dove right in.
First of all, the author, Susan Patton, egregiously assumed that sad singles spent their Valentine’s watching “Downton Abbey.” Psh, obviously we were all glued to the highly anticipated, just-released “House of Cards.” Duh. Know your audience, come on lady…(read more)

Get Up, Stand Up: Whistleblowers for Peace
College Magazine, September 2010
College students are constantly met with a barrage of noise: alarm clocks, text alerts, blaring iPods and the drone of tiring professors. A small group of young activists in Los Angeles, however, only care about one noise being heard: the blow of a whistle.
They wear whistles around their necks as a protest for peace in the Congo. Why whistles? To remember the boys standing on the front lines of battle, too small to carry guns, armed only with whistles for protection… (read more)

What I wish I had told me freshman year
USA Today College, Aug. 23, 2010
As a college junior with two years under my belt, I’ve learned a lot at my big, public university. But when I think back to the beginning of my freshman year, my face starts to redden in embarrassment.

Turf War
Takoma Voice, Nov. 2009
SILVER SPRING — Parents have always been the voice of reason behind their children’s playfulness. They are the first to say “don’t eat those worms,” “don’t stick that marble up your nose” and “you’re not leaving the house wearing that.” But “don’t play on that turf?” That’s a new one.
Students at Montgomery Blair High School were excited to play, run, and tackle on their brand new turf field that was installed this summer, but many of the parents were displeased at the idea…(read more)

New Wine Bar Set to Open in Old Takoma

On one side is the Culture Shop, a store with well-lit, clean beige walls, a constant stream of eclectic music floating in the background, and products like Greek honey, equal-exchange coffee, and colorful, hand-knit scarves.
Across the street is S & S Liquors in an old building with neon signs and beer ads hanging in the windows. Inside are dark paneled walls and crowded aisles lined with Svedka, Heineken and Jim Beam.
