Walden: Cultural Learnings of Kazakhstan for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of America
A lot of congressmen are taking heat from constituents at town hall meetings this month, but not Greg Walden. He's gettin' outta town – FAR out.
Back From Phishin’
The Blender, along with several other Bendites, have safely returned from the Gorge Amphitheater where we took in not one but two glorious days of music from Phish. We may not be Phish experts, per say, but we think this pair of weekend shows were right up there with the best the band has played…

We Should Watch the “Breakfast Club” or something, right?
As you probably know by now, legendary comedy writer and director John Hughes passed away today in New York City. If you're not sure if you've ever seen a Hughes film before, well, stop thinking because you almost certainly have.

Teabaggers Pick New Targets; Libs Plan Counterattacks
Oregonian blogger Jeff Mapes reports (http://blog.oregonlive.
The Liberal Lies
For decades we on the “right” have stood by and watched as “liberal” mobs have destroyed buildings, attacked individuals, and seen laws passed to prevent individuals from expressing their views. Add to this the denigration of those on the “right” by the mainstream media, and one should be able to recognize the frustration felt by…
What Can I Get For Ten Bucks?: How about ten bands at the High and Dry Bluegrass Festival
Sixty-three year old John Hancock has been pickin' and grinnin' for as long as he can remember. “I've been playing guitar as far back as my memory goes,” Hancock said recently in an interview with the Source, “I don't know. I grew up with it. I'm originally from way, way back east and my whole…
Shot Down: Pools, burgers and failing to complete the BendFilm 72 Hour Shoot-Out
After handing over $10 and collecting his free t-shirt at the sign-up for the BendFilm 72 Hour Shoot Out, my boyfriend Guy wanted to go swimming. At the panel discussion the week before, we'd been warned that making a short film over one intense weekend warranted a case of Red Bull and a gang of…
Nature's Grand Light Show: Capturing the cloud that isn't really a cloud
Every once in a while, Old Mother Nature knocks my socks off. While heading home last Thursday night with a small swarm of bees I gathered out of a water-meter box in Bend, the scene above began to take shape. At first, I didn't get it, and had no idea it was going to get…
Chatting in the Peloton: ValueAct and a class act
A RIDE WITH VALUE ACT Last week, in between the Cascade Cycling Classic and the National Road Championships in Bend, I joined the ValueAct women's professional cycling team on an easy reconnaissance ride through Tetherow.

Dream On: The spawn of Saw resembles a broken nightmare
Here we have proof that no matter how cool a movie looks, how dazzling the photography, how mesmerizing the score, how nail biting the suspense, there is no masking a stupid story. The Collector is one of those movies, and here's why… Arkin (Josh Stewart) has problems. His wife owes a vague yet sufficiently large…
Comedy Grows Up: Apatow and Sandler team up to add maturity to their hilarity
In Funny People we may have the delicious beginnings of a great collaborative team, Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow. The two, who were once roommates early in their respective careers, join forces here for the first time on the big screen (if you discount You Don't Mess With The Zohan, which Apatow evidently had some…

Now or Never: County's resort map remake opens door for developers amid questions of viability
As the de facto legal team for Deschutes County's only credible environmental watchdog group, Paul Dewey spends more time than most people thinking about destination resorts. He thinks about the water that they suck from the ground, the cars that they put on the road, and the land that they gobble. And they've been doing…
The Long-Overdue OLCC Intervention
In an intervention, the friends and family of somebody who's addicted to booze, drugs, gambling or whatever get him in a room and grill him intensively to persuade him to clean up his act. Last week, Gov. Ted Kulongoski's office staged an intervention with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. It was long overdue. And we…

I recently had occasion to travel both downtown and to the Old Mill District for a mother-daughter movie date. Our plan to beat the heat was to grab lunch and then duck into an air-conditioned theatre to escape the soaring temperatures.
