Cool Hunting
Laughing Lotus Yoga Center is the most fun yoga center that I've experienced. The yoga is very playful, but you get a great workout both spiritually and physically. Their rooftop yoga classes are one of my favorite things about New York in the summer, and will celebrate their 7th anniversary this coming Monday, 10 July 2006. As Dana Flynn, co-founder and co-director of Laughing Lotus explains in her trademark Dana way, "I love the feeling of being up away from it all, a little closer to heaven. No matter how hot down below, there's always a cool breeze up above. The playground inspires us all to play and we can all use more of that—swinging from the rooftop, literally!" I love it too. I can't wait to see the clouds pass over my head while I am in shavasana.

My search for the perfect swimsuit has been an ongoing project for the better part of the last 10 years, so I was pretty excited to happen upon the newly opened Parke & Ronen boutique during my last visit to Los Angeles. Despite the fact that Parke & Ronen (made up of the creative team of Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel) design a complete...
We've all heard of people drinking their own urine to survive out in the wild when there is no access to water. Though urine is sterile and (usually) safe to drink, using it as plant fertilizer may be more palatable option to most. The smart folks at EAWAG Aquatic Research in Switzerland have developed a way to extract the phosphorus and nitrogen from urine...

The first of the NSE special collector's edition, which will...
