There’s a fascinating science story just out, revealing that ancient Nubians two millennia ago were consuming large amounts of the antibiotic tetracycline most likely in the form of beer. Yet another reason beer is healthy! There are several sites running the story, but Wired has the most beer-centric version: Chemica

Last week I was invited to a special VIP tour and media event over at Deschutes Brewery, and I wrote about it for my weekend Hop Press article. It was pretty cool, and there are a number of interesting tidbits I learned. Green Lakes Organic Ale: The Brewery loves this beer, even though it’s more [...]

Now that we made the switch with our shampoos and conditioner, it is on to facial moisturizer and cleanser, lotions and lip balms. For starters, I took a look at Healthy World, Health Child's list of trusted brands and decided to take Yes to Carrots for a spin since they taut that they are Petroleum, SLS & Paraben Fre

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Maybe it's giving up on coffee, which seems to have reduced my overall background anxiety level; maybe it's because I've started to see a naturopath and she's started me on some supplements which target stress; or maybe it's also the approach of fall signaled by the short
If it's September, it must mean... eye surgery! (Isn't that what it means to you?) Yes, I'm going back for more because it was so much fun last year. Actually, this time it's the other eye, it's a less-invasive surgery,...
The beer list for The Little Woody, Bend’s barrel-aged beer festival (more here), came out today, and it’s looking really good. There are actually two versions of the beer list: one on the official site, and another one released over on Bend Oregon Restaurants (it’s from the marketing copy that the organiz
Over on Bend Oregon Restaurants today, BOR posted the beer list for this weekend’s Little Woody barrel-aged beer fest (totally scooped me on this one); coincidentally, the breweries page on the Little Woody site is also now updated with a …

I have for years been a big supporter of Dove hair products. It has worked well with my baby fine, stick straight hair as it did a good job of not drying it out and weighing it down but it was full of things I didn't want entering my body so I had some options ... go "no-poo" by trying baking soda and vinegar or
Little Woody Beer ListI know that I'm getting excited about this year's Little Woody. I'm actually more excited about the Bourbon Tasting but these beers do look good. So if you want to join me downtown at the Deschutes Historical Museum this Friday and Saturday, I'll be there looking for a designated driver. I'll be the bu

Our family has its fair share of food aversions and quirks.My son hates tomatoes. He'll eat salsa, ketchup, a little spaghetti sauce, but no tomatoes that resemble their fresher selves. Since the rest of our family loves tomatoes (and I have eight healthy tomato plants in my garden) his life can be quite miserable. Pants ha

It’s a bit of a late announcement this time around, but remember The Session is coming up this Friday (September 3rd). Session #43 is being hosted by The Beer Babe, Carla Companion, and the topic is “Welcoming the New Kids.” With the astounding growth of the number of craft breweries this year, chances are
I didn't think I had a blue picture for this week. I was wrong.It's okay to be wrong.
If you gave a pan handler a free credit card, how would they use it?Logic and thinking is hard for some people.
Before I was pregnant with my son, I never questioned what was in my beauty products. I just took for granted that the products were safe since I thought the FDA looked at everything. Well, the FDA only screens about 20% of them. YIKES! When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I jumped on forums and chat rooms to get t

It's August, and it's frickin' snowing outside. It was over 100°F last week, and this morning, it's cold, nasty, and snowing in many places. Here's what Mt. Bachelor's Web Cam looks like right now:
Despite my TIVOs and HD and all, I'm not a frequent TV viewer. If I'm lucky, I'll catch three shows a week, other than keeping half an eye on Sponge Bob while Henry's watching (and baseball of course). But I'm...
Seriously, how in the hell would anybody think this is a good idea (mildy NSFW)?
Years ago, as part of our honeymoon, my wife, Debbie and I passed through Mt. Rainier National park. It was very early in the summer season and despite the fact that the road to Paradise visitors center was open, snow was absolutely everywhere. The weather was dreary but the thing that most impressed me was [...]

Nonprofits, like any other placed of professional business, see their share of organizational conflict, but just because it isn't unusual, it doesn't mean that it's easily allayed or an easy situation to navigate. In fact, it rarely is, as anyone who's ever worked anywhere, as a staff member or volunteer, can empathiz

OK, I know, comparing Facebook to the ol’ phone book is a little odd, but I’ll try. First, a funny image - that of Steve Martin in The Jerk, running through the neighborhood, shouting, ‘The new phone books are here!” Well, I wasn’t THAT over the moon about them, but let me tell you, few things
In addition, the garden is coming to fruition and offering up delicious results. Harvest season is such a wondrous time. I pulled these beauties from my garden yesterday. With eight tomato heavy with tomatoes, I'm going to be busy in the coming weeks!

08.28.2010 Getting up at 5:00am on your day off is not something I love doing. However, when a good hiking opportunity appears, why not no it? So, before the sun choose to rise, I was in the shower, making coffee and getting ready to head up for a hike around Broken Top. This was a photo field trip with the Cascade Camera C
