Tequila’s trying out Fresh Step’s new Fresh Expressions™ Lavender Valley™ Scoopable Litter, and so far, so good!

Do you enjoy lily of the valley flowers in your garden? I hope you do because they are so easy to grow: "plant once and forget about it…" In my garden they are growing on a "forgotten" shady spot next to a wall and underneath some bushes. But what the above picture doesn’t show is the [...]

Over the years a few individuals have been able to capture the wandering, dust-caked, sonic isolation of Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone, transferring the Italian’s love of the West into indie rock emotional detachment. Yo La Tengo. Pell Mell. Early Calexico. Giant Sand/Howe Gelb. The list is a short one, but a revered one. Valley of the Giants is the latest outfit deserving of keeping such illuminated company. And their self-titled debut is an amazing wash of melancholic instrumentation, forlorn vocalization, and enough sun choked, cacti laced ambiance to fill the soundtracks of at least a dozen alternative Westerns.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...on an infinite loop.Here's my addition to this week's pile of video entries...someday soon I'll shake the writing funk and step to some verbiage that isn't an intro to a clip.Here's my favorite part of Gregg Araki's most excellent late 1990s teen acid trip Nowhere...featuring the hair, the lipgloss, and the retainers of Rose McGowan, Traci Lords, and Shannen Doherty.Enjoy.

Pale straw color with a slight greenish-brassy hue. Distinct red-grapefruit scent bespeaks its Sauvignon Blanc component, with a whiff of white pepper adding an aroma accent. Full and rich on the palate, grapefruit and lime; something a little more tropical, maybe green figs and fresh dates, perhaps reflecting its Semillon on the back of the [...]

MILTON-FREEWATER - When Pat Dirr and Julie Culjak enrolled in one of Geri Honn's bead classes at Suncatcher Studio in Milton- Freewater, they had no idea they were about to enter a business partnership. "We were all talking about how someone ought to open a place locally to buy beads," said Dirr, who originally had no intention of being that "someone." Culjak couldn't agree more."I had just moved here in July and signed up for classes to meet people," she said. Culjak also noted that once a rental site had been found, she had to quickly catch her husband up to speed. "I didn't think we were serious. I hadn't even told him yet," she said.But what Dirr, Culjak and Honn have created is a unique bead boutique for beaders with all tastes and abilities. "We really tried to make it homey," said C

Napa Valley, famous around the world as the Wine Country, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in California. More than five million visitors come each year, often overcrowding the roadways on summer weekends. Peak times are the summer months and the harvest "crush" during September and October. Napa Valley is home to more than two hundred wineries. With wine as a focus, great dining naturally emerged to compliment it, making it a food-and-drink lover's paradise!Spring and fall are the best times to visit. Summers tend to be hot and dusty, as well as decidedly crowded. Fall (September-November) combines fine weather with the grape harvest, and the wine-making season is on in full swing! The gloroious vineyards of the beautiful Sonoma county are a visual and gratifying treat,irres

Danish one man project Death Valley Sleepers has published a new track called Heartbreaking Sound and once again the music has been made free to download from Myspace. It has almost become a bit tedious constantly comparing the band to The Raveonettes, but listen to it and you'll understand that it’s quite difficult not to. And as long as the Tobias (the man behind) is capable of writing songs like this (Sune Wagner would or should at least be proud if he had written this tune), I see absolutely no point in him changing anything.+ Heartbreaking Sound

IT is often said that Information and Communications Technology helps to significantly improve our quality of life. Now, that may be true largely for able-bodied persons.But if you happen to be a person with a disability in our society like I am – along with countless others who still, sadly, stay hidden in our homes; I am sorry to say this to you: As far as such technology is concerned, you are practically screwed! The huge rainfall lately spelt disaster for me when lightning struck from nowhere whilst I was working on my computer. Luckily the electrical force was not enough to deliver a lethal blow to my computer. My phone line, however, was pulverized. My immediate reaction was to switch everything off until the storm had cleared. Then my real nightmare began.

You may have seen them on t-shirts...or in the lobby of Yahoo! HQ in Sunnyvale. These, my friends, are the shoes off of David Filo's feet. While I will be conducting an interview with Filo sometime in the next few days, if luck is on my side these might be in my possession before the post is up. How, you ask? Today is a great event at Yahoo! called the "Free is Good Fair", where Yahoo! is working with Freecycle to have employees bring in stuff they don't want or need, and in turn they can take stuff they want from what has been brought in by others. Think of it as Craigslist without money...or "one man's junk is another man's treasure". I brought in several things, including sneakers and some snazzy soccer cleats--all in great shape. My guess is that you too have some sneakers y

In the following press release the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced that a man who was renting a Valley Village home has been arrested on federal bank fraud charges for allegedly attempting to secure a $500,000 home equity line of credit on the house. Eduard Sargsyan, 55, was arrested by special agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation last Thursday afternoon after completing loan documents at a Bank of American branch in Sherman Oaks. According to a criminal complaint filed last Friday, last fall Sargsyan rented the Valley Village home, which was owned by a family trust. In February, a “Trust Transfer Deed” was recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office, which transferred title of the home to Sarg

Although small, Chiles Valley is one of the premier wine regions in the state of California. More than 6,000 acres comprise Chiles Valley; however, only a little more than 1,000 acres are planted vineyards. While Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in other regions, Zinfandel is king in Chiles Valley.When touring Chiles Valley, you will find a small group of small wineries. The well drained soil and warm climate in this region have made it capable of producing outstanding Zinfandel wines in addition to excellent Cabernet Sauvignon.During the evenings and at night, the cooling winds blow through this region, creating a situation where the growing season in Chiles Valley is able to begin and end later than most adjacent regions.To know more about Chiles Valley, CLICK HERE .-valley.htm

Foxen makes some of our favorite Central Coast Pinot Noirs. We opened a bottle of their 2003 Bien Nacido Vineyard - Block Eight Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir a few night ago, and got to enjoy it close to, or at, its peak.The grapes are 100% destemmed prior to enjoying five days of cold soak. They then go through whole berry fermentation before being aged in 65% new French oak for 16 months. Finally it is bottled unfined and unfiltered.The result is a Pinot with a clear, dark, ruby red/purple color in the glass.On the nose; dark raspberry, cherry, vanilla, and earthy components.On the plate the wine shows of raspberry, cherry, and plum with a hint of spice and vanilla. It is a harmonic, balanced, and concentrated, medium to full bodied Pinot, that receives a lift from the fresh acidity and

By Ken McLaughlinMercury NewsArticle Launched: 04/24/2008 02:19:23 AM PDTAt the Asian supermarket 99 Ranch, the price of jasmine rice has already doubled this year. Across the street, Costco is rationing its 50-pound bags of discounted rice - if you can get them at all. And some Asian restaurants are even reconsidering their longstanding policy of refilling rice bowls for free.The worldwide rice shortage has come to Silicon Valley."There is no rice," said Rita Patel of San Jose, a native of India who couldn't find any at Costco on Hostetter Road in northeast San Jose on Tuesday night. In a valley where nearly 30 percent of residents are of Asian descent, people are increasingly frustrated by the soaring cost of the staple of Asian cuisine. Economists blame the price increases on everything

Not the first time I have had and reviewed a Bonaccorsi Pinot Noir, and although I always think they are stellar, for some reason I am particularly enjoying the 2003 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir tonight. I decided to try all new recipes for dinner and served it with BBQ red wine flank steak, bulgur/roasted beet/mushroom/red onion pilaf, and a red wine vinegar braised carrot and leek dish. It turned out awesome! (both the food and the pairing)The 2003 Santa Maria Valley has a dark, dense, slightly cloudy, garnet color in the glass. To me indicating big, lush, savage, fruit. But I should have known better. Bonaccorsi usually leans toward the more elegant side, although the dark fruit is there. It stays true in this case as well.The nose, sure enough, displays black cherry, raspberry, bluebe

We woke up very early to catch a bus from our hotel in Cairo to the airport where we flew to Luxor. We were to board our boat in Luxor for the Nile River cruise. Due to the lack of communication from our travel agent and our representative, we wore travel clothes with the understanding that we would be boarding the ship, having lunch and would have time to change before we set off to the Valley of the Kings. Not so. Our bus pulled up to the boat, nobody was permitted to get off or check in. And off to the Valley of the Kings (be sure to click that link, it contains fantastic images) we went. Thankfully, when the bus stopped we were permitted to get socks and shoes out of our suitcases, but we were still not feeling prepared.We had a lovely day at the Valley of the Kings. We really l

Paul Hobbs 2002 Hyde Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir has a dark dense garnet color in the glass.The nose shows vibrant dark raspberry, cherry, and vanilla.The first thing that hits you on the palate is ripe, deep, blackberry, supported by cherry, spice, and a nice vanilla/oak component. The acidity is still going strong and the tannins are smooth and well integrated. The balanced medium to long finish has beautiful, elegant, dark fruit and berries, with a trace of pencil lead at the very end.I bought this wine in a local wine store, Capitol Cellars, about 3 years ago for $60. After some research at the Internet I come to the conclusion that this wine is hard to get a hold of. I could not find a single store/website that carries it.It really drinks beautifully at this point and if you can get

The area known as the Loire Valley is located in a French region called Centre and affords anyone looking to purchase property many advantages over other regions. It has been proposed to rename this region Val de Loire (The Loire Valley) as many feel the name Centre is rather non-descript and does not highlight the beauty of the area. It was because of the beauty, accessibility, rivers and climate that the French kings build most of their castles in the Loire Valley. It is also located in the part of the country that is known as the Garden of France. One of the prime reasons for moving to the Loire Valley is its central position. It makes accessing other areas of France more realistic and reachable. Paris is easily reached by the A10 Autoroute making day trips to Paris another advantage. A

Strolling through Winecask Wine Store in Santa Barbara we saw a bottle of the Stone Corral Vineyard 2005 Edna Valley Pinot Noir produced by Talley Vineyards. We have enjoyed several vintages of their Rincon Vineyard and Rosemary Vineyard Pinot Noir, and having heard about the newer Stone Corral Vineyard, but never tasted it, we just had to give it a try.

It is now full season for California Poppy viewing. The season should last until at mid-May, with the flowers peaking over the next week or so.

After weeks of personal and professional drama, I decided to get away for the weekend with my lady friend for a little R&R. We decided to head up to the sleepy town of Ojai located just 35 miles southeast of Santa Barbara. Tucked among the luscious rolling hills of the Ojai Valley is the five-diamond Ojai Valley Inn & Spa Resort. Located just a short one hour jaunt from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, the resort is the perfect destination if you're looking for a convenient escape to decompress and enjoy some world-class pampering...both of which I desperately needed. We drove up Highway 101 past Calabasas (of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey fame) and Ventura until we hit Freeway 33 which took us 13 miles into the town of Ojai. Admittedly, I was a bit concerned driving into Ojai a

I picked up a bottle of Nagy2 2005 Garey Ranch Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir at El Rancho Market in Solvang when I was in Santa Ynez Valley a couple of weeks ago. I was on the hunt for something new to try and this bottle came highly recommended by the “wine guy” that helped me in the store. El Rancho has as lot of wine from local wineries that can be hard to find in other grocery stores/wine shops. This bottle was no exception. The only other place I could find it online was at WanderingDogWinebar.com, located in Solvang, for $32.The color in the glass; a dark, dense garnet color.On the nose smoky oak, dark raspberry, blackberry and vanilla.The palate showing dark cherry, dark raspberry, blackberry and a hint of pencil lead at the very finish.This is initially a very mouth full and fr

There was a few times we walked past this Taiwanese restaurant at The Gardens, noticed it but went on to patronize another restaurant. Everytime you walk past this place, it is always packed. Surely it will make you wonder, Taiwanese food so nice meh... so Sayang and I walked in one day lo...To be frank, I am not sure how much all the dishes cost us, but as a reference from Boo's review of this, she calls this place, Not Cheap, and she also mentioned that their good taste made up for the expensive prices. I ordered this bowl of Fried Noodles with Prawns. To me I thought they put in some pretty good stuff. I mean, I am not very familiar with Taiwan cuisine, but it sure does taste a lot better than the Little Taiwan experience I had , at MidValley. It came out pretty ok, the prawns wer

In The Valley of Elah 2007Cast :Tommy Lee Jones Charlize Theron Jason Patric info :A career officer and his wife work with a police detective to uncover the truth behind their son's disappearance following his return from a tour of duty in Iraqreview :In the Valley of Elah, the first film Paul Haggis has written and directed since Crash, is exactly the sort of movie America needs right now — a lacerating, bone-deep inquiry into the war in Iraq, one that struggles to find meaning in the very chaos of that conflict. It's no secret that those of us who have never been in a war have probably ingested much of what we ''know'' of the experience of combat from the movies. In the Valley of Elah isn't a combat film per se, but its dramatic power is rooted in the violent mystery of battle — in t

"Heavy Frost in the Morning Sun", Amber Valley, Derbyshire 10"x14".Oil on board. Alistair Butt © 2008.A clear sky, low sun and a heavy frost covering the long grass, turned what on other day could just be another ordinary view into something quite wonderful.What captured my attention first was the line of haphazard fence posts and their cast shadows radiating across the sloping field, followed by the main tree and finally the distant hazy tree line as a background.There was just enough autumnal colour/color left on some trees/bushes to add some warmth More warm colour/color was available in areas of the foreground, the result of the sunlight shining through the clumps of tall grass. Along with the frost, these provide the 'warm' sections and so produced the counteraction between the warm

Somewhere there'll always be a realm where Dick Dale, Ennio Morricone, and good Mexican food all come together. Or so it seems, based on the evidence of this smart, funny, and rockin' album. Whoever Death Valley might in truth be (identities for the instrumental quartet are given as Pepper, Blue, Mear, and Joe), the Texas band's knowledge of what makes a song smoke is unquestioned.

The apperance in the glass; a light, clear, garnet red color.The nose showing raspberry, red cherry, slight hint of strawberry, herbal tea, and touch of basil at the end.The palate tasting of fresh raspberry, cherry, earth, and pencil shavings at the very finish. This pinot has great acidity and young but relatively soft tannins.A beautiful elegant style Pinot Noir with bright red fruit and good structure.
