Finally! A product that helped my Acne & Rosacea!
By Cindy
from Boston, MA
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about 1% BHA Lotion - 3.3 oz:
I'm a 46 yr old with light thin skin. I've always been obsessive about my face and have had great skin up until recently. My pores started to show on my cheeks and I was breaking out like a teenager (on my chin and under my nose especially)! I love Paula's Choice products because they tell you exactly what the ingredients are and what they do, and they give honest advice. I figured I'd try the BHA lotion - and see how it compared to the AHA lotion which I've been using; and I am so honestly impressed that I just had to write this review. My children AND my husband have been telling me that my skin, "looks so smooth" and no more acne for this old lady!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When the 1% gel was discontinued I switched to this lotion. Ugh. It smells bad so I find I don't use it. The gel is a better bet- I got the 2% and only use it at night. Just can't get used to the texture of this stuff. I hope PC brings the mild 1% gel back in the future! I used that twice a day.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Increased redness
By Danielle
from Egg Harbor Twp, NJ
I was really eager to try this to help with some patches of redness on my cheeks near my nose. Unfortunately, within 5 minutes of applying it to my entire face, I was flushed everywhere and the patches of cheek redness were significantly worse than before I applied the product. In fact, they weren't patches at all but angry blotches that encompassed my entire cheeks and jaw. I know this gives most people great results, so it is worth a try. Just be very, very cautious.

Best skin I've had in years!!!
By Beanbeansmommy
from Sonoma County, CA
I ordered 3 samples of each BHA offered so I could find the one I liked best and this one was the winner for my combination skin. Ive battled hormonal acne for years and even when I did have moments of clearer skin, I had left over red marks and bumps under my skin that I could feel when I washed my face. I won't lie, the first month of using this just once a day at night I broke out like crazy, my skin looked really bad and I almost quit using it, but I'm so glad I didn't!!! This is month 2 and everyday I wake up to clearer skin, I'm ecstatic and my self esteem is finally getting better!! I highly recommend this for combo skin that is on the dryer side. Give it a couple months, you won't be disappointed!

This is the perfect exfoliator for dry or sensitive skin. It leaves my skin soft and smooth and helped clear up blemishes and redness.
Made me a believer!
By Megan
from Phoenix, Arizona
About Me Minimalist
While growing up products with salicylic acid in them always dried out my skin terribly, so I was a little skeptical to try this. For the first couple of days it was very gentle, and results weren't dramatic as far as clearing up existing blackheads and shrinking large pores. However, as I kept using it I really started to see what it could do; my oily forehead was generally less oily and whiteheads went almost completely away. Blackheads filled up much more slowly on my nose, and I am seeing some improvement on the blackheads on my chin as well. I believe the 1% formula performed beautifully; it took time to really work so it wouldn't be so harsh to sensitive skin. Now that I have been using it for a little while, I am curious how even more effective the 2% would be!

Favorite BHA
By Susie
from Chicago, Illinois
This BHA is my favorite of all Paula's BHA treatments. I can use this daily in the am on my sensitive, oily, combo skin and then I use my prescription retinoids at night. I did try the new calm BHA, but that totally dried my skin up like a prune. I like the very light fragrance of cucumber in this. I find it does the best job in calming sensitive skin and it really keeps my pores clear and doesn't cause me any breakouts. It sinks in quickly and works great under makeup. I hope they don't discontinue it.

Great except for the moldy cucumber smell
By Asha
from Los Angles, CA
I tried this BHA lotion from a sample, as I have been going through the entire PC line to find the right exfoliant for my skin.What I like about the 1% BHA Lotion: smooths on easily, sinks in right away, doesn't leave any film or sticky residue, non-irritating. Lotion consistency is easier to apply with less waste than liquid BHA products.What I don't like about it: smells overpoweringly bad, like moldy cucumbers. The scent does fade after a few minutes, but it is difficult to "unsmell" once the initial impact has happened.For long term effects, I can't say much since I used a sample. I would expect that 1% BHA might not have the same oomph as the 2% BHA products. However, the smooth texture is so awesome, it might be easier to use it 2x per day (which I have not found to be possible with the stickier BHA products).

Better Than The New Calm 1% Exfoliant
By MLD
from Dallas/FortWorth, Texas
If you are having issues with the new Calm 1% BHA, and have not already tried this 1% BHA lotion, give this a try. I find it works much better with my sensitive skin. I recently tried the new Calm 1% BHA Redness Relief Lotion. I was disappointed that it did not work well for me. It caused breakouts and irritation. I switched back to this original 1% BHA lotion and I didn't have a single issue. I did this several times thinking it may just be that my skin had a bad week. Unfortunately, that was not the case. This 1% lotion dies not cause the unpleasant side effects of the Calm 1% lotion and it truly works best for my sensitive skin. This 1% BHA lotion is truly a super star exfoliant for those who cannot tolerate the higher BHA exfoliants or for those who use exfoliants twice daily. It is such a fantastic formula! I can even pair this BHA exfoliant twice weekly with the Resist Intensive Retinol Serum without it causing flaking or any irritation. It just leaves my skin looking it's best. This product is awesome! Please do not discontinue this formulation!!!
Great Initial Effect But...
By Dr. Wag
from Southern California
I purchased a whole skincare set but this one was odd. When you first apply it, it actually is quite soothing, very light, and evens out the skin. Loved the initial effect but the smell is awful like sweaty gym clothes stored in a plastic bag for days. I've used this for about a week and my skin started to have read spots like breaking out. I stopped using it now for a few days and my skin started to heal. This particular product may not be the a good one for me. The rest of the skincare is perfect!
I think this is drying out my skin and breaking me out.
By Veronica
from Chicago
About Me Beauty Expert
So..I started using this October 13 2015, and I was so excited bc I thought this would improve my textured skin gently. And it seemed to make my skin dry after a week and also broken out, but I continued bc I assumed it to be a coincidence bc winter was in face nearing. So I used to every other night for 8 weeks and my skin never looked good during this time...dry, flaky, and very bumpy. But I still assumed it was winter skin. So I started using it every other night for 4 weeks and my skin never know improved no matter what other gentle products I was using to cleanse and moisturize. So I stopped using and after 3 weeks my skin was so nice and clear and not as dry, I couldn't believe it. I actually didn't want to believe it was the PC product causing my derm issues bc I wanted it to work so bad, so I started again 5 days ago and after only 3 applications my face is dry and flaky and broken out. It really makes me wanna cry bc I wanted to believe in this. I've used many BHA products over the last couple of years to even out my skin and although this one didn't make my raw and itchy, it made it worse and did not imrpove it.

Great texture and effective
By DC
I purchased the Repair roseacea kit for my skin recently. I've been using all of the products regularly as directed for 1 week. This product was included in the kit. Pros: I like the texture of the product, lightweight, moisturizing lotion. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. Cons: The smell is what you expect from a non-perfumed BHA product. The scent is not great, but that is what is expected and the scent does not linger on the skin. I did not find it bad enough to not use it. For some people, BHA treatments will cause your skin to "breakout" or "purge" before you see improvement. Using the 1% BHA daily after my toner before moisturizer in the AM and PM, caused my skin to slightly breakout. I mean very slightly. A pimple here or there and so far that's it.I will continue using this product and will re-purchase in the future. Most likely a higher BHA % to try as well.
Can't live without
By RA
from Hartford, CT
I have been clear of breakouts and blackheads since the first week I started using this. My pores are so much smaller, and it did not irritate my extremely sensitive skin. This product has been a life changer for my face. Can't rave enough.
By DiJeff
from Alachua, FL
I originally purchased the 2% BHA liquid in sample size. Although I totally noticed a difference, I also had dryness and flakiness. On calling PC, the service rep recommended this 1% lotion and I LOVE it. I have rosacea, HUGE pores,ton's of blackheads (can you believe at 58!!) and skin that can easily be irritated. I use the 1% in the morning and moisturize with Resist Daily Wrinkle Defense w/SPF which is my "makeup" for day. I must say the 1% did not work like the 2% liquid...so I now alternate the 2% liquid in the evening using the Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer which is more moisturizing to keep the dryness & flakiness under control. My skin has never looked or behaved better than it does using PC's products. Thank you!!
Service and delivery comments:
EXCELLENT customer service with quick delivery after ordering.
By hey girl
from georgia
Yes the product has an odor, and is tolerable enough provided the product worked for the claims made. My issue is that I have never had blackheads until I used the product. Gave it a good 3 weeks to see if the blackhead issue disappeared, thinking maybe my skin need to adjust to it. Never happened, nor did I see any sign of even toned skin or reduction of redness, which was the intent of the purchase.

Zip zero
By Mitzi
from NY
This seemed to have no effect at all as either a zit-zapper or general exfoliant. The best I can say is that while I am sensitive to a lot of products and tend to break out whenever anything new touches my skin, this didn't do that either. A giant neutral.
By nlb
from PA
I tried this product as a sample along with the other BHA concentrations and formulas (their gel, liquid, etc.). I definitely like the feel of this the best. The 2% dried my skin out a little too much, but this 1% was perfect. Plus, the lotion feel absorbs quickly. The gel and liquid forms just seemed to sit on my skin - not a fan of that feeling. I use this is the morning after cleansing and before moisturizing.

Just right for sensitive skin
By Mom of three <3
from Texas
My skin has never been able to tolerate BHA because it is so sensitive. This product gives me all the benefits of BHA without any irritation. Please don't ever stop making it. The smell is a matter of personal preference. I love it. It's kind of an earthy cucumber smell- very natural and soothing. I use it twice a day every day and my skin stays consistently smooth and clear. Fantastic product for highly reactive skin.

Terrible Smell!
By Staci
from Tampa, FL
I got a few samples of this to try, and the smell is AWFUL. It honestly don't know how anyone can get passed it. I will say that it dries much faster than the 2% liquid and gel do (and they both feel tacky for a long time), but this feels nice and absorbed quite quickly. However, the smell is too much. I will be giving my other sample to my friend.

A product that works
By Jaybay
from Europe
I've suffered combination skin with hormonal acne for as long as I can remember and am always on the look out for simple and effective products that do what they say they do and this is it. I've tried so many different products, at times with some success, but the Skin Perfecting lotion is all round the best for smoothing skin, reducing redness, helping my pimples heal quickly and decongesting my forehead which had clogged pores I couldn't shift for months - now they're basically gone after 1 month of use. Yes it doesn't smell great but that goes away after about 10 minutes and its worth it for better looking skin. I use this at night since my skin is combination and can be sensitive, as well as the Skin Balancing Super antioxidant concentrate serum just after. Neither product leave my skin feeling tight or dry. In the morning I just use the Resist Retinol booster mixed in with my SPF moisturizer and am set. People have commented how fresh and rested my skin looks which is credit to these products!

amazing exfoliant for combination sensitive skin w/ rosacea
By Kats
from Alexandria, VA
I can't rave enough about this product, even at the risk of sounding like an infomercial. I have extremely sensitive skin and a lot of skin allergies. Things like cut grass and laundry dryer sheets give me rashes and tree sap gives me welts. Thankfully, I have not had any allergic reactions to the Paula's Choice products I've tried.My skin care is complicated by my rosacea and mild hormonal acne. Before using Paula's Choice, I had an extremely difficult time balancing my skin's moisture. I either had too much and acne resulted, or my skin was so dry it literally cracked. For the last seven months, I've used the hydralight toner and moisturizer along with the 1% BHA lotion and I no longer struggle with finding the right moisture balance. I like all of those products, but the 1% BHA lotion stands out in that it exfoliates my skin and prevents acne from forming. This is the only acne treatment I've been able to use. I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide and it gave me huge bumps larger than my mild, hormonal acne. It's great to finally have a product that works for me.Usually exfoliators turn me bright red for days and they dry out my skin. Even rubbing a washcloth too hard makes my skin get irritated. The 1% BHA lotion exfoliated my skin without any irritation. It helped keep the pores in the crease of my nose small in between uses of the Resist BHA 9. However, only the Resist BHA 9 got rid of the blackheads in the crease of my nose.
A miracle in a bottle
By Liz Hover
from Winnipeg, Canada
I started using the Paula's Choice 8% AHA earlier this year but, after more reading, figured my skin might benefit from a BHA - I have enlarged pores, some fine lines and blackheads. The 2% BHA formulas are too much for my skin and leave it feeling tight and dry. One of the Paula's Choice videos explained that the 1% BHA lotion feels more moisturizing so I bought it. Yes, it does have a weird smell but this stuff is literally an overnight miracle worker. Blackheads are stubborn little buggers but my enlarged pores visibly shrank and my skin looks smoother.I've been alternating between this and the AHA depending on how my skin looks. Honestly, I've seen little benefit from the AHA but this 1% BHA lotion is a miracle in a bottle.

Caused Breakouts
By sarahPA
from Mount Pleasant, MI
I believe all of the research behind BHA, but it is just bad news for my skin. I ordered 8 sample packets so that I could use this for 16 nights in a row before purchasing full size. Good thing I did, because it gave me little whiteheads in places that I never break out - like my cheeks - and a couple cystic type bumps on my forehead and chin. I love the 8% AHA gel, but I wanted to try BHA because my cheeks often flare up with redness, and I have some blackheads on my nose. I think my issue with BHA is its antibacterial properties, which might be great for those already prone to breakouts. There are helpful bacteria that normally colonize our skin, and maybe this is just too harsh on them, leaving room for the bad ones to overgrow. This would also explain why the AHA does not cause this problem. To summarize, if you have normal-dry skin, I would stick to the AHA exfoliants.
we all know a hero when we see one
By Jackie
from San Antonio, Texas
The superhero of my face care routine. This is the heavy lifter and problem solver. I have enlarged pours and really I don't want that. This product needs all the accolades you can heft onto any product. If you buy only on item from Paula this is it. Start out light with the 1% before you dive in to heavier weights. This has a light lotion texture that glides on with your fingertips or cotton pad. Best brand product and I call it the gateway product to Paul's other items.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant has a lightweight lotion texture that works to reveal smooth, clear skin by exfoliating both the skin's surface and inside the pore. Because BHA helps reshape the pore lining, it unclogs pores and exfoliates the built up layers on the outside of skin while improving cell turnover rate. The result is healthier, smoother skin. This creates a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function, especially if blemishes are a concern. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has anti-bacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. This elegant formula is non-occlusive, contains no waxy, heavy ingredients and absorbs easily, setting to a soft matte finish.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.8. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for? All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to dry skin.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
What's the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants? Do I need both?
When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:
If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.
If you'd like to use an AHA and BHA at the same time, that is an option, though not really necessary. Some people find they work well when they're applied at the same time, but if you want to give this a try it is best to apply them separately, one during the day and one in the evening.
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
What strength of BHA should I use? Will a higher concentration provide better and faster results?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my BHA exfoliant again?

Child Food Crisis in North Carolina
Hungry Eyes
Child hunger is a problem hiding in plain sight in North Carolina. Whether families are skipping breakfast so
the food will stretch through dinner or eating packaged foods because fruits and vegetables are too expensive,
many North Carolina children arent eating balanced five food group meals.
In May 2009, Feeding America released the results of its first analysis of food insecurity in early childhood, Child Food Insecurity in the United States: 2005-2007. North Carolina ranked second in the nation for children under five who are food insecure or lack regular access to nutritional food. The state was 10th in the same Feeding America study of food insecurity in children 0-18 years old, using figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Demand for food at the nations food banks has increased 30 percent in the past year, according to Feeding America.
Indicators of food insecurity in North Carolina include high child poverty rates and unemployment in the recession, broken families, the high price of fresh food and a 21 percent increase in households with food stamps since 2007, according to research from Action for Children North Carolina in Raleigh.
And often the youngest children fall through the cracks subject to their parents ability or inability to feed the family nutritious foods. Many food support programs exist for children once they reach school age that are not consistently available to very young children.
When parents cant feed their children regularly, often the schools, local social service networks and churches try to fill the need.
And the health effects on young children from not eating regular nutritious meals can range from diabetes, constipation and obesity to learning disabilities. Malnutrition in young children also has a societal cost more hospital stays, lost work for the parents and an increased stress on the social services sector.

Is It Time To Step Back Into The Gold Market? (GLD, SLV, IAU, SGOL, GDX)
Richard Rittorno: Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) and silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) started the first trading week of 2012 with bang. Gold sharply rose on Tuesday by 2.15% to $1,600.5; silver also followed and sharply inclined by 5.94% to reach $29.57. The January effect could be playing a role here.
The recent positive manufacturing reports out of both in the U.S. and China have helped push up the financial markets the last few days, but today's German bond auction — seen as a failure — will put pressure on the U.S. market today.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

Looking at the technical picture of the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEARCA:GLD), traders will find that price bounced twice off the $150.77 — a double bottom — support level only to break below that level before the close.
GLD then tipped its hand on direction by gapping up and closed above the $150.77 support level the next day. Since then, price action has been moving higher crossing the T3 Tilson but remains below the 150-moving average.
The million-dollar question: is it time to step back into gold?
Aggressive traders can consider testing the waters here with a protective stop order below the $150.77 support level. The more conservative can look for price action to take out the previous high of $157 and initiate a position on the pullback from the new high.
Bottom line: The fundamentals have not changed since the start of 2012. Gold is still difficult to mine and Europe still has not provided a solution to the debt crisis. As the euro continues to be weak and Europeans face pressure to replace their currency, gold becomes that replacement. The chart seems to be painting a reversal picture. Traders may want to take another look at gold.
Disclosure: long GLD call options.

Teachers chief: Bad teachers should find new jobs
WASHINGTON Teachers who arent up to snuff shouldnt be in classrooms and should find new professions, the head of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers said Monday.
Randi Weingarten told a gathering of her unions rank-and-file members that they should be more vigilant about their colleagues abilities and said weak educators who dont make improvements only hurt the profession. The tough warning comes as state education chiefs have been trying to implement tougher standards for those in the classrooms and weed out teachers whose students arent making progress.
If someone cant teach, after theyve been prepared and supported, they shouldnt be in our profession, Weingarten said to applause from more than 2,000 union members meeting here.
Weingarten said too often teachers are left to sink or swim without help from more senior teachers or their schools leaders. She stressed new teachers should be mentored and offered more training if their college coursework was inadequate.
But she acknowledged she did not want to be in the business of defending all teachers. She said union-backed evaluation systems would help keep successful teachers in the classrooms and remove those who arent helping students.
It recasts tenure as a guarantee of fairness and due process, not as an excuse for managers not to manage, and not to cloak incompetence, Weingarten said.
School reform advocates often point to teacher tenure as a roadblock to change. Those advocates say the promise of essential lifetime jobs has left teachers unaccountable and leaves students in classrooms with uninspired teachers. If a teacher has no real prospect of being dismissed, there is little a school official can do to force changes.
Correct, Weingarten said. Some teachers fit that bill and should be kicked out of classrooms if they have been given a manageable classroom and sufficient supplemental training.
We want people to be prepared and supported, she told reporters after the speech. But if they cant do our job, which is the hardest job in America, then they shouldnt be there.
But she also had harsh words for those who would fire teachers based on students performances on standardized tests. That practice has gained popularity as states have implemented school improvement plans to hold teachers accountable.
I have a plea for those who fixate on how to dismiss teachers a plea fixate instead on how we nurture, support and keep them, Weingarten said.

My Work
Here are just a few highlights of my work beyond the Washington Beer Blog:
- I am a regular contributor to Seattle Magazine. I worked on the cover story for the October 2013 issue–a feature about the local beer scene which spanned 24 pages. Portions of the issue are available online: Brewpub Dining Guide, 10 Beers to Drink Now, Local Pub Chains, and Seattle's Brewery Districts: Ballard.
- An article I wrote for 425 magazine: Something in the Water.
- In 2011 I was a major contributor to Seattle Magazine's Beer in the Northwest feature – several articles. (click here).
- I had three separate articles in the spring 2012 issue of SIP Northwest magazine and continue to work as a regular contributor.
- Seattle Magazine, October 2012, Best Seasonal Beers.
- Western Washington's Top Beer Bars – published on KING 5 Television's website.
- I am a regular contributor to Outdoors Northwest magazine.
- I am an online contributor for GoWestUSA.com.
- The Winter 2012 issue of Beer West Magazine featured an article I wrote about a local chef with a passion for good beer: Feasting at the Farmers Table.
- I write for the Washington Beer Commission, providing content for the Commission's website (WashingtonBeer.com).
- I have appeared as a guest on several segments of KIRO radio's Seattle Kitchen, a weekly food-focused radio show hosted by local celebrity chefs Tom Douglas and Thierry Rautureau. You can listen to two of those segments here.
- In October 2011 I appeared on NBC's Today Show for a beer tasting with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. The video is online (click here).
- I have been a guest on dozens of radio shows, including local, national and international broadcasts (BBC Radio 1 and Armed Forces Radio).
- In December 2010 I appeared on KUOW's Weekday with Steve Scherfor a 60 minute segment talking about Washington winter beers .
- We can organize and host private beer tasting functions for your company, organization or other private event. Read about the corporate beer tasting event I organized and hosted for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
- We produce beer-related events. Our annual Craft:Beer+Food pairs some of the Seattle area's finest restaurants with local breweries to showcase how beer can be part of an elegant dining experience. BitterSweet:Beer+Chocolate paired local brewers with the chocolates of Theo Chocolate, not only highlighted beer and chocolate pairing, but also challenging brewers to create innovative new brews using chocolate and chocolate byproducts.
- Since 1998, we have produced the annual Beer Church Turkey Bowl. The annual charity event has earned more than $100,000 for a variety of charitable causes.
Washington Beer Blog

We are independent. We are not working for Washington brewers. We are just happy and proud to live somewhere that has such a vibrant brewing community. The Washington Beer Blog respects and appreciates our local brewers, and there would be nothing for us to blog about if it wasn't for their heroic efforts, but we are not blogging on their behalf. We work for you, the beer lovers of Washington.
Although I am best recognized as a blogger, I do not think of it as blogging. I don't think of myself as a beer blogger. I'm a beer writer with a blog. I get to say that because I've been published off line. (Oh look at me, I'm so fancy!) Truthfully, to me the word blog suggests something much more personal than what I typically do. In most instances, I try to behave like a journalist. I'm not always sure what that means, but I try.
I'll try to keep this short. I write to inform and educate. I love craft beer and I want to see the industry continue to grow. The craft beer industry fosters entrepreneurs and rewards creativity. It is good for our local and national economies. Small business is the backbone of America and craft breweries are small businesses. The list goes on and on. And yes, I do enjoy drinking craft beer very much. In short, I don't just like craft beer, I believe in craft beer. I contend that the more a person knows about craft beer the more likely they are to support the craft beer industry.
Basically, I write to make people feel smart. Unlike many other bloggers and beer writers, I don't want to be praised as some all-knowing beer guru. I honestly have nothing against anyone who seeks that kind of recognition. That aint me. Many people know a lot more about beer than I do, but there are multitudes who know less.
Some of what I write is way beneath many hardcore beer geeks. Sometimes they think I'm being a beer simpleton. I don't apologize for that. In my mind, writing to appeal to beer geeks exclusively is like preaching to the choir. They already know a lot about beer and they already drink craft beer. I'm glad there are blogs and forums where hardcore beer fanatics really geek-out about beer, but that's not what the Washington Beer Blog wants to be. That is not the kind of beer writer I want to be.
I read a lot of beer-related blog posts and other articles that leave me thinking, "Wow, that guy sure is smart. He knows a lot about beer."
As a writer, I don't want to be that guy.
Instead of, "Wow, that guys is smart," I want my readers to walk away thinking, "Wow, I feel smart." I don't want people to walk away thinking, "Wow, that guy sure is enthusiastic about beer." I want them to walk away thinking, "Wow, I'm really enthusiastic about beer." I don't want them to simply read what I write, I want them to go drink what I write.
In October 2011, October 2012, and again in October 2013, I was honored to be the featured beer writer in Seattle Magazine's annual "beer issue." We (craft beer) even got the cover in 2011 and 2013. In those issues I discussed a number of our local breweries and basically provided an overview of the Seattle beer scene for the extreme beer novice. We're talking about a mainstream lifestyle magazine dedicating a lot of pages to beer. Impressive. It is widely read by all sorts of people. It is not at all a beer-focused magazine.
When I first witnessed with my own eyes some of these "non-beer people" out touring the local beer scene using my issue of the magazine as a field guide, I was immensely proud. When people told me that the Seattle Magazine beer issue inspired them to visit breweries, try new kinds of beers, and otherwise explore the world of craft beer, I was profoundly satisfied with my work.
That is when I came to fully understand why it is that I publish this blog and write about beer in general.
My goal is to disseminate information that is meaningful for beer geeks and beer novices alike. I hope to do it in a way that is entertaining and interesting. I want the tide of craft beer that has been sweeping across America for the past 30 years to continue to rise. I hope that in some small way I am helping to make that happen.

Back to the Future: The Game
If you love the movies you'll undoubtedly enjoy this well-made adaption on your Mac or PC
Back in 1985 the movie "Back to the Future" was released and it was an instant hit. Two well–received sequels followed in 1989 and 1990 respectively and to this day the Back of the Future trilogy remains quite popular. Recently the trilogy celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of the first movie with some fanfare which included a new Blu-ray box set release. And now Telltale Games have stepped in to revive the Back To the Future franchise in another format – a point and click adventure game. Telltale Games have in recent years become sort of a leader in the revival of the adventure game genre so it only seems natural that they would be the one to take on such a task.
In case you're not familiar with Telltale Games they typically released their adventure games in an episodic format, usually five episodes in all, over a period of a few months. Usually you can purchase each episode separately but for some reason the only purchasing option for Back to the Future is for the whole game (all five episodes) for $24.99. As of this writing the first two episodes "It's about Time" and "Get Tannen" have been released with the next three to follow in the next few months. This review is based on these first two episodes.
The game is essentially a direct sequel to the last Back to the Future movie, with the first episode taking place shortly after the events of the third movie. As you may recall at the end of the third movie Doc Brown had decided to settle in the 1880s with his true love while Marty McFly went back to the present, which is 1986. The first episode begins with an estate sale at Doc Brown's house. With everybody believing he is dead all of his belongings are being sold off. As Marty McFly you need to try to put a stop to this. Before long the DeLorean shows up with Doc Brown's dog Einstein and a clue that ultimately leads Marty McFly back to 1931 Hill Valley to save the doctor from a rather unfortunate predicament. Much of the rest of the game, at least the first two episodes anyways, takes place in this time period as well as 1986. As Marty McFly you'll encounter numerous "familiar" faces, including Biff Tannen's gangster father and a young Doc Brown, and familiar locations all while trying to avoid messing up the timeline.
It's pretty clear that the designers of this game are big fans of the movie trilogy because the first two episodes really capture the magic and atmosphere of the films. Doc Brown is voiced by Christopher Lloyd from the movies and Marty McFly is voiced by an actor who sounds almost exactly like a young Michael J Fox! The rest of the supporting characters are also voiced impressively. The dialogue will also remind you of the movies with iconic phrases such as "Great Scott!" and "this is heavy". They've even incorporated the same music from the movies, including the music that Huey Lewis and the News did for the movies. So this feels like a Back to the Future movie in every way possible. So if you like the movies and have long wished for future sequels in a sense you get them with this game. It's really quite impressive how well Telltale Games have managed to reproduce this vision for a computer game. This bodes well for licenses they've acquired of other well-known franchises for future games.
In my review of Tales of Monkey Island, another Telltale game, I talked about how difficult some of the puzzles were and how often I had to refer to a walk-through to solve them. This is mostly because solutions to the puzzles were often obscure and not obvious at all. The good news is that's not much of a problem with Back to the Future. There's a fair amount of handholding here so most of the puzzles are really easy. And even if you run into a puzzle that isn't very easy there's a built-in hint system that provides different levels of hints, depending on how much help you need, all the way up to the solution itself basically. I managed to get through the first two episodes with only referring to the hint section on two occasions. So this was much much easier than Tales of Monkey Island for me. Depending on what your preference is this can be either a good or bad thing. I like the movies and really enjoyed the stories in these episodes so it didn't bother me that getting through these episodes was a cakewalk. It also went pretty quick for me – around five hours for both episodes. This is due to the fact that besides being easier these episodes are also shorter than those of Tales of Monkey Island. Once again I didn't mind this either for the same reasons I just mentioned as well as the refreshing change of playing a game that didn't take an eternity to complete. Your mileage may vary.
From an accessibility standpoint this game is almost exactly the same as Tales of Monkey Island. Normally you would assume that adventure games would have simple interfaces and be easy to play for just about anybody. The words point and click and adventure gaming pretty much went hand-in-hand back in the day after all. But for whatever reason Telltale Games decided to do something different with the interface for no apparent reason. To move Marty McFly around with the mouse you have to left–click and drag in the direction you want to go. It's extremely clunky and if you're a disabled gamer that has trouble clicking and dragging this is going to be a problem for you. Moving around is a little easier than in Tales of Monkey Island because locations aren't as cluttered but it's still awkward. Fortunately you can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard for this. Since the game can be played in windowed mode then that means you have full access to KeyStrokes and SwitchXS for easy arrow key access. It's still a bit on the awkward side but you may very well find it much better than the other method or if you can't click and drag at all at least there is an alternative. The only other issue to worry about is that you have to press the "Escape" key to access the game menu. If you're already playing in windowed mode anyways, and use something like Keystrokes, then this won't be a problem. If you play in full screen but can't press the "Escape" key on a physical keyboard you could use something like Dragon Dictate to activate the key with a voice command. I've tried this and it works.
Note: All the screenshots in this review make it appear that I'm playing the game in full screen mode which is not the case. It is in windowed mode but the game window just happens to fill my entire screen with the exception of the Mac OSX menu bar at the top of the screen. My display resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 and that's the same resolution the game's graphics settings are set to. The window just happens to fit perfectly which gives the appearance of full screen gaming which is nice! So far all of the Telltale Games I've played work this way. In the screenshot below you can see my KeyStrokes keyboard.
If you're a fan of the movies I would definitely recommend getting this game, even if it's on the easy side and doesn't take long to complete. It really is a great bit of nostalgia and fun seeing and hearing these characters we fell in love with in the movies again. If you aren't familiar with the movies you probably won't enjoy the game as much. But it's important to note that at $24.99 you don't have too much to lose. However as far as I can tell there is no demo available and since you can't buy episodes individually it's either all or nothing with Back to the Future.

I get into a lot of discussions with people over spiritual things. Most of the time you only have to be awake to experience something "spiritual." I've always believed that the most spiritual things we can experience are on a person to person level. The human mind can do incredible things, and simply the way we read and interact with one another tells the story that we are all connected.
I was having a particularly rough week. The stress of not sleeping and having constant panic attacks was taking a major toll on my mind and my body. I couldn't eat. I couldn't even drink much of anything. My stomach was such a wreck. I was happy that it was Friday, and excited to eat leftover Chinese food for lunch, get out of work and sleep. Alas, I grabbed the wrong container from the fridge, and opened my lunch bag to find a leaking container of peaches. Great. I'm starving and trying to save money so I can quit my job that's sucking the life out of me, and now I had to go spend money on lunch.
I walked to the store, at least I had a credit card and could buy lunch for myself. I got a sandwich and some chocolate milk to try and chase the blues away, thinking that I'd sit outside instead of eating my lunch at my cramped up desk like I do every day. I sit down and the seat is WET. By this time, I'm about to scream. I'm in pain, I don't feel well, and now it looks like I have wet my pants. A car screeches around the corner, and it feels like a knife has gone through my ear drums. Now I'm holding back tears.
As I walk down the street grumbling to myself, a woman who is sitting on the wall, presumably waiting for the bus, says to me very sincerely, "How are you?" I smiled, looked at her and said, "I'm alright, how are you?" "I'm good," she smiled.
Then I had something to cry about.
I looked up at the sky, then back at the woman. She was my angel for the day. Some would say things like this happen by "chance" or "luck," but all the science experiments in the world would have a hard time proving that on this random day, this random woman could turn my crappy day around not knowing anything about me. She could have just been nice. She could have been crazy, and said it to everyone she met walking down the street, but for that moment I felt like I mattered, and her gesture mattered a whole lot to me in those moments of unlucky despair.
Whatever you believe in, at least believe in the human spirit; the idea that we can all do good for one another without even knowing a name.

Daniel G. Amen's new book, Change Your Brain Change Your Body
Photo courtesy of Amen Clinics.
Dr. Daniel G. Amen's new book is Change Your Brain Change Your Body. In it, Amen, a psychiatrist, explains that to maximize weight-loss efforts, people must understand what type of brain they have, and how that brain can either help or sabotage their efforts.
Dr. Amen has written one of the most integrated and wise healthy diet books available. He addresses the whole person, and explains exactly what is needed for different types of people to lose weight and live better.
Amen identifies six types of eaters based on brain type. Readers will readily be able to identify their own weight loss challenges by reading his descriptions.
He says, "For any weight solution to be effective, it must be centered on your particular brain, your particular problems, and your particular needs. Any program that gives you a one size fits everyone [diet] approach is destined to fail."
Dr. Daniel G. Amen. Photo courtesy of Amen Clinics.
For example, Amen's "compulsive overeaters" may have trouble getting thoughts of food out of their heads. They may be worriers who are argumentative. They often binge eat at night. These behaviors, according to Dr. Amen can be due to increased activity in the area of the brain known as anterior cingulate gyrus, caused by low serotonin levels.
These brain issues can be directly observed by SPECT scans. Dr. Amen has viewed more than 50,000 brain scans.
On the other hand, compulsive overeaters, as explained in Change Your Brain Change Your Body, constantly say, "I am going to start my diet tomorrow." They may have too little activity in the area of the brain known as the pre-frontal cortex. Compulsive-Impulsive types, on the other hand, may have done well (as far as dieting) on Fen-Phen. Children of alcoholics often have this brain type.
Change Your Brain Change Your Body offers holistic weight-loss solutions for all six types of eaters, in terms of natural supplements, food choices, behavioral strategies and more. Dr. Amen also provides all of the basic information dieters need about things like calories, body mass index and nutrition.
Those who go from one diet to the next may not have the patience for Dr. Amen's holistic approach, even though this diet plan may ultimately be better for them. Because Change Your Brain, Change Your Body has so much information in it, dieters may have to take notes to summarize their own personalized diet plan.
The book is Change Your Brain, Change Your Body: Use Your Brain to Get and Keep the Body You Have Always Wanted, by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. Published February, 2010 by Harmony. ISBN-10: 0307463575 ISBN-13: 978-0307463579. Review copy provided by Amen Clinics. Click here for a more in-depth review of Change Your Brain, Change Your Body.

BlackBerry (BBRY) stock, formerly known as Research in Motion, had an ugly June; BBRY shares gave up more than 25% at the end of the month amid soft sales reports for its new smartphone line and weaker-than-expected BlackBerry earnings.
Looking forward, we can expect more of the same.
Because like I have been saying for quite some time, even amid a brief updraft in BBRY stock, it is clear that BlackBerry as we know it is doomed. Here's why:
Ugly Earnings: Shares crashed recently after BBRY posted a loss of $84 million on the quarter, a surprise loss. The company lost money last fiscal year and was already projected to run in the red in the current fiscal year, so it's not like the bar was very high … but clearly you have to start making money eventually or the lights just go out. Details were bad, too — subscribers down, inventory up, and so on.
Ugly BB10 Sales: About those details: Worse than the minor loss was the major disappointment on Wall Street over gadget sales. With only 2.7 million BB10 devices shipped, there are concerns that the Q10 and Z10 will not be the game-changers many had hoped — especially with BBRY enterprise clients. Management continues to urge patience, but history shows that most gadgets don't get a second life a few months in after launch. After all, a year from now we will have a host of new Google (GOOG) devices, powered either by the company's own Nexus line or just its open-source Android OS, and probably new iPhone offerings from Apple (AAPL). You can't afford to wait on BlackBerry to win over customers.
Ugly Tablet Strategy: Let's not even dwell on this. A mere 100,000 PlayBooks shipped in the entire quarter? Why doesn't BBRY just cede defeat to the iPad and Amazon (AMZN) Kindle already and kill this line altogether? BlackBerry's CEO thinks tablets are a fad anyway, right?
Ugly Sentiment: BlackBerry was downgraded from "buy" to "hold" at Societe Generale on Monday after disappointing numbers. Analysts at Needham & Company and Deutsche Bank also downgraded BlackBerry after the results. Elsewhere, FBR reiterated its "underperform" rating while dropping its target from $11 to $9, and UBS kept BBRY at "neutral" but dropped its target from $13 to $10. Need I say more?
Valuation Shmaluation: BlackBerry has traded at a fraction of its book value for some time. According to FactSet, BBRY stock hasn't traded for par at any time in 2013 — not even during January's red-hot run to $18. And yes, the company has $630 million in cash flow from operations and about $2.8 billion in cash and investments, so it's not going bankrupt. But the idea that this stock can stage a rally based on a simple look at its balance sheet has gone up in smoke — just like profits have for BBRY investors lately.
I could once again be proven wrong here, and BlackBerry could once again soar to $18 and above by year end. Maybe a big enterprise client will place a massive order in September or maybe some crazy tech company will think BBRY would be worth acquiring for its security, messaging and programming assets. Or maybe the short sellers will get hit with another big squeeze later this year to inflate the stock price.
But I doubt it. The deck seems stacked against this perpetual underperformer.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: There's room for smartphone players beyond the iPhone and Android. And there's an especially profitable niche for business and enterprise functionality on handsets. But Microsoft (MSFT) has deeper pockets, equal enterprise credentials and a nearly panicked ambition to figure out mobile right now.
My money is on MSFT to become one of the other bit players here, especially if the Z10 and Q10 continue to be as mildly received as the numbers indicate.

This is unfortunate timing for Ester Dean to launch her solo career. The songwriter's voice is pitched dead center between two artists. The first is frequent collaborator Rihanna, but attempting to time your nascent solo career around an ebb in Rihanna's career would be like attempting to time it around the fall of the United States. The other is Nicki Minaj when she sings, which is increasingly synonymous with "Nicki Minaj."
Not that either is jacking either's territory; "Super Bass" was super thanks in part to Dean's vocals–"custom-made for summer," one critic writes–and Minaj contributes a guest verse (as she does) to "Gimme Money," Dean's latest attempt at a solo breakout. Now, back up. Let's process what we've just learned in a different way: up-and-coming, somewhat hard-edged R&B singer records a song with a Nicki Minaj verse. You can imagine what it sounds like, right? Do that, then see how close you came:
"Gimme Money" sounds like the radio sounds. It's got the synths that box-step their way up and down the scale, it's got snares twitching before every new section, and it's got the background vocals that double as extra hooks. The track muffles itself and fades back in during the verses, and everything slams itself against the speaker during the chorus. It's a track so foolproof that anyone, whether Ester Dean or Rihanna or Nicki Minaj or a sine wave generator or a sufficiently lively plant could sound great on it given the right processing.
None of this, though, describes Ester Dean's contributions. Or rather, it exactly describes Ester Dean's contributions, because she's shaped this sound as much as or more than anyone. But they're less suited to breaking her out as a performer in her own right than checking her track onto the radio, her vocals crouched inside the production like a stowaway. (Nicki's verse, for what it's worth, is so short and so subdued that it's not worth further mention.) In Dean's favor, she's brassier and raspier than "Gimme Money" calls for; the most interesting parts of "Gimme Money" are when her voice scrapes against the track enough to thin out or even poke holes through it. (Which is also 100% planned and possibly actually focus-grouped; nevertheless, the most interesting.) This goes for the lyrics as well; Dean's songwriting training means she probably sleep-writes killer parallelisms like "you give me money [repeat until the earworm awakens] but I'd rather have your time," but every so often–OK, primarily on Nicki's verse and the one line "I bought the new crib, keep the rent(,)boy" something promising will creep in.
There are basically two questions here. One, will this hit radio? There doesn't seem to be anything, personnel- or sound-related, to stop it. Two, will something interesting come out of Dean's could-be-a-career? Possibly. "Gimme Money" is rote heading toward interesting, but that's a better place to be than–name your own names–the opposite.
