We all know that the moneyed interests in the financial sector have steadfastly fought against any type of oversight and regulation. They say they envision a world of limited government that basically stays out of their way. With few people looking over their shoulders, they can juke and jive their way to untold reco

Dinosaurs were big, some of them were monstrous.  But, how is that even possible?  Aren’t there natural constraints on size that prevent our own big mammals from getting to the size of buildings?  Cromercrox tries to hash it out: First, the digestion … Sauropods swallowed enormous amounts of low-quality f

Exercise and beer are usually two things I don't associate with each other, but this actually sounds really fun!

Dave and I take a different approach to this week's podcast. Instead of coming up with our own topics, Dave Deckard, he of Blazersedge.com, and I, Casey Holdahl of Trailblazers.com, devote most of the podcast

I also have a box of peaches, and guess what? I didn't kill all of my basil. In celebration of these things, I'm making Penny's Tomato Peach Basil Salad. See it and drool over it here.

My nephew graduated from the U of O. Afterwards, he could not find a job. Rather than sit on his butt, he signed on for a year long adventure, that starts in Haiti. It's with his church and he'll be doing anything he's told to do. His first Haiti stint lasts three months. He'll be sleeping on a cot in a hospital hallwa

Is Juvenon a Scam? Prior to including a supplement as part of your everyday diet, you should know and be absolutely 100% sure that it will actually do something positive.

Ahhh! I thought this day would never come, but here it is. Happy 9.02.10 Day!!! For those of us who grew up on the classic Beverly Hills 90210 (don’t even mention that newfangled business to me), today marks a special place in our hearts for those who wore “Brenda” vests, “Kelly” ch

Here's another stellar production of "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis"—this time hosted by Zach's brother Seth, who has the distinct pleasure of interviewing actor Sean Penn. And for reasons unknown, Sean is really, really grumpy! Weird. (Me? I'm "Team Seth" all the way!)

Happy Birthday cycle track!(Photos © J. Maus) When we got our first look at the cycle track on SW Broadway one year ago this week, it was an exciting time. Mayor Adams had fulfilled one of his "100 day" promises and -- after talking about it for nearly four years -- we finally had our [...]

None other that E.O. Wilson, father of Sociobiology, and one of the greatest minds in Biology of the last half-century says that it’s time to dump the idea of kin selection: "We hope our new theory for the evolution of eusociality will open up sociobiology to new avenues of research by liberating the study of [...]

Portland has been popping out new queer nights like a randy rabbit lately but Mrs. — Mississippi Studios’ new costume-centric dance night — is a party we can really get behind.

What happens when you stuff an Orangutan jaw into a human skull?  You get a great hoax to perpetuate on the scientific community that lasts for 30+ years!  The Piltdown hoax is only one of the many great articles featured in this 100th “episode” of the Four Stone Hearth anthropology blog carnival.

Our pal Warren Moran wrote this review of his Echo Carbon 9′ 4wt. 4-piece: A Good Stick: Echo Carbon 9′ 4wt. 4 pc. This is a great rod and a nice compromise between power and grace. It’s also something everyman can afford. The matte finish on the blank and reel seat are really nice. It’s [...]

Well folks…. I’m back in. Spiked a fever and had to come in for antibiotics. My counts are very low… So the plan… I have to be here until my counts reach a certain level. Until then I’m here, on antibiotics every six hours…. And constant saline. We are hoping not too long, but it’s
