At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.
The history of Gaelic games in Canada, before the founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland in 1884 and in the years since, proves a determination by Irish immigrants who have arrived in numerous provinces of Canada. Through their dedication the flag of Irish sports has flown strong, and will continue to fly in the years to come. The sporting traditions include the oldest European field game of hurling-a masterful art and the fastest game in the world-in which players use an ash wood stick and a hard ball. Many argue with some conviction, and no small amount of fact to support their case, that Canada's national sport, ice hockey, has its origins in hurling. The word puck is deri...
Funkanometry are two young male alternative hip-hop dancers. They were on WOD and AGT. They were attending UCLA. While they were there in LA, they wanted to continue to teach dance like they did in Vancouver Island, Canada. Then they rented a very large space in LA and have it remodeled. Perfect for hip-hop or any style of dance. A place for dance battles. They faced the challenges of dealing with setting up the space, finding students, and facing challenges all new business face. They decided that they could sublet space that they renovated. Dani and her best friend Noel talked about how they needed to earn some extra money.

Things heated up quickly between the pairs. The girls' parents were not happy; the romance between the two couples was fun-loving and intensely passionate.
A giant tsunami hit the staid Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan in 1969 when it was announced that Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler was to be the new head football coach, replacing the beloved Bump Elliott. Efforts to pronounce the last name correctly came in response to thousands of questioners asking "Bo who?" but it didn't take long before his name and the Wolverines' resurrected football fortunes were the talk not only of the town, but of the hundreds of thousands of Michigan alumni across the country and around the world. Bo's Warriors is the story of that man and the moribund football program he revived. Bo won a school record 194 games while losing only 48 and never had a l...
