So President Obama has signed the Stimulus Bill to start us on the road to recovery. What I would like to know is, 'How this is going to help people who didn't do dumb stuff like take out a loan on a house that was overpriced and over(ly) large, spend to the limit on too many credit cards, and generally live beyond their means?'
The way I read it is that I now own a couple of banks, and part of a couple of car companies.
I feel compelled to respond, albeit indirectly, to last week's letter/tirade by Anonymous. I wish to describe my own, recent personal experience with the Bend Police Department.
State officials have come up with a plan that would keep destination resorts away from the Metolius, and the pro-resort forces are, predictably, fuming and sputtering.
It takes a special kind of temperament to coach competitive sports at any level. In the amateur world it's usually a parent or some dedicated volunteer who is willing to put in long hours for little or no pay to give young athletes the kind of chance that they themselves had as kids.
Chris Mortimer, a naturalist from California, was driving over Santiam Pass in late January when he was suddenly shocked to see a very large, wolf-like animal dash across the road in front of him. "Wolf!" he shouted, and pulled over to the side of the highway.
With only a small, point-and-shoot camera at his disposal, he did the best he could to document what may turn out to be the first wild wolf seen in these parts in over 100 years.
When my Mom was growing up, girls were expected to wear dresses, look pretty and not cross over the center line on the basketball court. Lucky for me, I grew up in the age of Title IX, crossed half-court and got dirty. Even today though, sports and the outdoors are more a guy's realm, and many girls need encouragement to venture there. This week, I'd like to motivate you to thank someone who inspired you and to share your passion for the outdoors with someone new.
Line em up, knock em downAs Obama sweeps the country with hope and transformation, might there also be change in what is perhaps the most obnoxious way that girls garner attention at the bar-the girl-on-girl make out session? Yes, we have all seen it. Some drunk girl notices that no men have lavished any attention on her so she grabs her best friend by the face and forces her tongue down the back of her throat. Her friend (no stranger to the game) sloppily kisses back never failing to run her hands through her friends hair and to let out some sort of "I-once-watched-a-porno" moan.

Fresh. fantastic.It isn't often that a restaurant succeeds in striking the perfect balance between deference to the traditions of its cuisine, the creativity of its chefs and the concerns of its audience, but Kanpai Sushi and Sake Bar has done it. It's fine dining for every day that manages to be both intimate and festive. That's probably why it feels appropriate for virtually all occasions and moods. You're as likely to see a patron in ski pants grabbing a bite on his way down from the mountain as a quiet couple celebrating their anniversary over candlelight and sake. From the inside out, Kanpai offers a near flawless sushi dining experience-whatever you're looking to get out of it.
