New Herbal Chest Rub!
Posted by|31 May 2013
Allergy season is in full swing here in the Willamette Valley – thank you grass! This is one reason why we're thrilled to bring you this new Herbal Chest Rub from our friends at Wild Carrot Herbals. They fill each batch with botanical healing goodness that you just can't find in conventional chest rubs.
Perfect for this time of year, I have been dabbing a little under my nose to make it through the day. This effective chest rub is crafted with herbally infused olive oil and essential oils known for opening the airways. Calming and soothing during times of congestion, this is an even stronger version of Wild Carrot's ever popular Children's Chest Rub and is easily applied to the chest for long lasting relief or just a bit under the nose to soothe when needed.
Contains: organic olive oil infused with organic yarrow, organic chickweed, organic roman chamomile, organic yerba mansa, organic Echinacea purpurea, organic oregon grape root, organic castor oil, beeswax, and essential oils of Eucalyptus radiata, niaouli, rosemary, lavender, tea tree, and organic sweet orange.

Watch Now! The End Game: Stopping GMO Alfalfa
Posted by|28 May 2013
This fascinating 17-minute mini-documentary from Our Common Roots TV takes a look at the threat of GMOs in our food and environment - Alfalfa in particular. As legitimate concerns continue to grow over the long-term health effects of GMOs, more and more consumers and organic farmers fight for their right to know what's in their food. Without thorough testing, the question of safety over genetically modified food is truly unnerving…

How We Reduce Our Footprint: Carbon Emissions
Posted by|21 May 2013
Climate change is an undeniable fact. We feel it as we're hit with extreme storm systems, a warming planet, melting icebergs, and rising tides. The fact is, humans have caused this global change and now we must all do our part to shift gears and find a solution. One way that Mountain Rose Herbs takes responsibility for the carbon dioxide emissions released in production of our organic herbs, spices and tea blends, and botanical products is through our partnership with Carbonfund.org, who's motto is "reduce what you can, offset what you can't."
In 2012, our estimated carbon emissions amounted to 254 metric tons.
What we did to REDUCE:
- All light fixtures upgraded to low-impact fluorescents
- Cargo and delivery vehicles run on used vegetable oil based bio-diesel
- E-Star rated appliances, electronics and heating and cooling units
- Enrolled in EWEB Greenpower Program to support wind and solar energy sources
How we OFFSET with Carbonfund.org:
- Renewable Energy and Methane Projects
- Energy Efficiency Research and Carbon Credits
- Reforestation and Forest Preservation Projects

Beeginners! Giving Bees a Hearty Start with Herbal Bee Tea
Posted by|20 May 2013
We are three weeks into our new adventure as beekeepers. My amazement every time I peek in the hive, or the saucy pride I feel when I notice some of our bees working away on lavender, kale, and fruit tree blossoms has yet to wear off. At this point, it is hard to imagine I will ever take these hardworking little honeybees for granted!
As a beginner (and I mean brand new, never-before, only-read-a-bunch-of-books novice), my first obsession was simply getting the bees to stay. I wanted to make sure our home-built hive was as hospitable as possible and that the new bees had everything they needed to get off to a good start.
We started by preparing our hive—since we built a Kenyan Top Bar beehive, we needed to make sure that each of the 28 bars was an obvious choice where the bees would know to attach their combs. We melted about 4 ounces of beeswax pastilles over low heat, and dipped lengths of hemp string we'd precut to be just a tad smaller than the bars into the warm wax. We then just pressed the string along the length of the bar. This way, the bees would have a guide from which to attach the combs they'd be building from scratch! For added hospitality, I sprinkled a handful of beeswax pastilles along the bottom of the hive and shook several drops of lemongrass essential oil at each end of the hive. We did this a week or two before we got our bees, so the hive was ready and waiting.
Herbal Bee Tea
Amidst all my pre-bee research, I came across the Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary (www.spikenardfarm.org) in Virginia. They are a wonderful resource for organic beekeeping and bee health information. There is a "Healing Tea for Honeybees" created at Spikenard Farm that I adapted for our Pacific Northwest bee scene:
(I used a mix of dried and fresh herbs and flowers, but you could use all dried or all fresh):
Heat 3 cups of water to boiling
Prepare a tea mix:
½ teaspoon organic dried chamomile
½ teaspoon organic dried yarrow
½ teaspoon organic dried nettle
½ teaspoon organic dried peppermint
¼ teaspoon organic dried sage
2 fresh Dandelion flowers
½ teaspoon organic fresh or dried hyssop leaves
½ teaspoon organic fresh or dried thyme leaves
2-3 big, organic fresh or dried lemon balm leaves
Put all of the herbs into a large tea infuser (you could use cheesecloth or simply put them in a jar and then strain them after steeping) and pour 3 cups of boiling water over. Let this steep for 10-15 minutes. Then, add 3 cups of cold water. You will find this is a surprisingly strong smelling infusion! Check out the original recipe for other herbs you can add to the tea.
Once it has cooled to room temperature/lukewarm, stir in 1 cup of high quality, organic, local honey. I put a quart of this in a chicken watering container and filled the tray with little rocks, but you could definitely use a quart-sized bee feeder too (store the remainder in the fridge and use if/as needed.) The idea is to put the tea out where the bees can take it if they need it and use in times of stress—new colony and hive, early in the season, late in the season, etc. I left it out for about a week until it seemed like the bees were doing just fine and had plenty of nectar and pollen to forage for.
At this point, our bees seem to be going strong. We have been going in for a visit each week and have watched as they built the initial combs, the queen started laying eggs, and things have progressed to several full combs, hundreds of capped brood, honey and pollen deposits, and what looks to be an expanding operation! I love the faint smell of honey as I walk by the hive on warm, sunny days and the steady whirring buzz of all those bees working away inside. And don't even get me started about how fun it is to watch those bees clamber all over our garden plants and then speed off back to our hive!

How to Go "No 'Poo" with Easy Herbal Hair Rinses
Posted by|14 May 2013
Have you heard of the "no 'poo" movement? It's definitely not my favorite term, but the philosophy behind it is worth exploring. It refers to the droves of people turning away from using expensive commercial shampoos and conditioners. These products often contain harsh synthetic fragrances, sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, and other creepy ingredients that come from mystery labs around the world. We trust that these products will make our hair gorgeous and drench ourselves in weird chemicals without knowing how they affect our overall health. Plus, think of the millions of plastic bottles that end up in the recycling bin, or worse, from all of the hair products we use.
But…you HAVE to use shampoo, right?
We've been told to "lather, rinse, and repeat" for decades now – and with dreams of healthy, shiny, flowy, bouncy perfection, we have complied. But what happens? The first day after a wash, your hair is kinda frizzy and dried out. On the second day it's looking pretty good. By the third day it's a crazy greasy mess again and time to shampoo. This cycle happens as your scalp desperately tries to maintain balance. Most shampoo strips your hair of sebum, which is the natural oil produced by sebaceous glands to help condition and protect each strand. When it's completely washed away, your glands sound the alarm bells and produce even more sebum to compensate for the sudden loss of protection. Using gentle cleansers and washing less often allows your body to function the way it was meant to…
Going "no 'poo" is a different experience for everyone, depending on your natural hair and scalp condition. I have very fine, curly hair with a normal to dry scalp, so the transition was super easy for me. I started using the Chamomile Rose rinse recipe below just once a week. My hair immediately looked so much healthier and had more body and shine. Suddenly, instead of one good hair day a week, my hair was consistently awesome with less frizz and no scalp irritation at all. I know other people with thicker or oily hair go through a not so fun "balancing" phase where the sebaceous glands continue to produce more and more sebum in anticipation of that regular shampooing. If you can stick it out, the process will eventually find homeostasis and revert back to a normal sebum production rate. This usually only takes a few weeks and is well worth the wait. Just think of all those neglected hats waiting in your closet!
Ready to try it out? These herbal hair rinses are amazing. They are so easy to make and will leave your hair feeling soft and your scalp clean and revitalized, but not stripped or dried out. Use once a week to replace your shampoo for good and allow your natural oils to condition each strand from root to tip.
Chamomile Rose Rinse
1 ½ cups organic Chamomile tea, brewed strong
1 cup organic Rose Petal tea, brewed strong
1 tbsp baking soda
The deep golden yellow produced by the chamomile flowers makes this a wonderful choice for light colored hair or to enhance natural highlights in darker hair. My hair is dirty blond and I really notice a lightening effect like a sunny glow to my hair when I let it soak in for at least 5 minutes before rinsing out.
Rosemary Cacao Rinse
1 ½ cups organic Cacao nib tea, brewed strong
1 cup organic Rosemary leaf tea, brewed strong
3 drops organic Peppermint essential oil
1 tbsp baking soda
Rosemary is a classic herb for hair health. It brings circulation to the scalp and stimulates the follicles. It is also known to enhance the richness in dark colored hair. The naturally conditioning cocoa butter fats found in cacao nibs will leave your hair feeling soft, and the chocolate colored infusion is perfect for all shades of brown hair. Peppermint oil adds an invigoratingly clean scent, and is great for oily or sensitive scalps.
Nettle Lavender Rinse
2 1/2 cups organic Nettle leaf tea, brewed strong
5 drops organic Lavender essential oil
1 tbsp baking soda
Nettle is a wonderfully strengthening tonic herb for hair. Its high mineral and vitamin content nourishes all hair types. Lavender essential oil is calming and helps normalize both dry and oily scalp conditions, and its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory nature makes it a nice choice for irritated or sensitive scalps too. This formula is perfect for all hair colors and types.
Rinse Directions
- Using a covered pot, decoct your herbs for 10-15 minutes. I generally use 1/4 cup of herbs per cup of water.
- Strain out the herbs and combine your herbal infusion, essential oils, and baking soda together in a glass jar. You want the baking soda to be completely dissolved and well mixed.
- Allow to cool to body temperature.
- Pour over dry hair or soak hair in the mixture for at least 5 minutes. Massage the scalp gently using a circular motion.
- Rinse out with clean running water.
- You can follow the herbal rinse with an apple cider vinegar rinse if you'd like, which is a really popular method, but I usually skip it.
Feel free to experiment with other herb and essential oil combinations. For more information and guidance about what herbs are good for hair care, check out Naturally Healthy Hair by Mary Beth Janssen.
Enjoy your natural tresses!
Herb Infused Witch Hazel
Posted by|13 May 2013
This recipe is such a convenient preparation which either can be used alone or incorporated into cosmetic and medicinal recipes. And, it couldn't be simpler to make!
Witch Hazel extract is produced from the leaves and bark of the North American shrub Witch-hazel, Hamamelis virginiana. It has astringent, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and anesthetic properties, making it an invaluable ingredient for many different medicinal and cosmetic preparations.
I especially love using herbal infused witch hazel as a facial toner, often incorporate it into facial wash recipes, and a small dab works great on blemishes. Beneficial for all skin types from oily to dry and mature skin, Witch Hazel is often used as an aftershave, to cleanse oils from the skin, remove make-up, decrease bags under eyes and skin puffiness, reduce pore size, and to minimize varicose veins. Medicinally, Witch Hazel extract is often applied as a compress or added to bath water to assist with minor injuries, insect bites, hemorrhoids, skin irritation caused by poison ivy or oak, localized inflammations, and other conditions. Athletes sometimes rub Witch Hazel extract onto their arms or legs prior to workouts to help prevent muscle strain, or after a workout to help relieve soreness.
What you'll need:
• Witch Hazel extract
It's best to use a high quality organic Witch Hazel extract. Commercial Witch Hazel extracts usually contain more alcohol than actual Witch Hazel, and have only been distilled once. However, true Witch Hazel extracts (like the one offered by Mountain Rose Herbs) has been double distilled, and contains 86% Witch Hazel extract and only 14% alcohol. This makes it more soothing than the versions found in stores, and it lacks the alcohol sting and scent.
• Herb(s) of choice
Here some favorites, but feel free to be creative! You can make infuse just one or can make a blend: Basil, Calendula, Chamomile, Elder flowers, Green Sencha Leaf tea, Lavender flowers, Lemon Balm, Lemon peel, Lemon Verbena, Lemongrass, Nettle leaf, Orange Peel, Peppermint, Rose petals, Rosemary, Sage, Red Clover flowers, Vanilla beans.
1. Place the dried herbs in a glass mason jar, and cover completely with the Witch Hazel extract. Make sure that the Witch Hazel extract covers the herbs by at least 1-2" to account for swelling once that the herbs become hydrated. If the herbs swell and rise above the Witch Hazel extract, simply add more Witch Hazel extract until they are fully submerged.
2. Cap tightly and place in a cool, dark place like a cabinet or closet.
3. Allow to infuse for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar daily or as often as you remember. You will notice that the Witch Hazel will quickly take on the scent and color of the herbs.
4. Once finished, strain the herbs out using cheesecloth or a fine cloth. Pour into a clean bottle, label, and enjoy!
The FDA has approved Witch Hazel distillate as safe for external use in skin care products. Avoid using Witch Hazel extract close to the mucus membranes or in the eyes, as it contains a small amount of alcohol. It is best to use on this product on unbroken skin. External use of Witch Hazel extract could result in minor skin irritation for some people. Do not use on serious burns, cuts, or other wounds.

British Hype Bands Love Soft Rock, Baltimore Abstract Noize
So we're reading web zine Pitchfork over our morning coffee, and we open the recurring "Guest List" feature where the site gets current indie-rock hot commodities to talk about their favorite songs, video games, or flavors of Altoids, and we get smacked with this at the top of a list from Klaxons guitarist Simon Taylor-Davis in a section marked "Favorite New Songs of the Past Year":
WZT Hearts: "1″ This blew my mind into fireworks. . . . It's all I listened to when we toured Europe. It was just abstract being completely obsessed with this, to this then going onstage and playing three-minute pop songs, then going back to this crystal neverland.
Then again, Taylor-Davis goes on to say that Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red" is his favorite song of all time.
But seriously: Wait, what? The Klaxons are inescapable Britpop phenoms in their homeland at the moment (though judging by the rate of turnover for Britpop phenoms, there's a good chance they won't be by the time this Noise post goes up) who write, as Taylor-Davis says, "three-minute pop songs" and are hellbent on reviving Day-Glo rave while sounding like a sloppy cross between EMF, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, Blur, and 2 Unlimited. (Between the Klaxons and the TMNT movie, when did 2007 suddenly become 1990?) The idea of a British electronic pop-rock band going into the studio with the tribal roar of Wzt Hearts on its mind is kinda weird, kinda exciting. If NME is suddenly touting "nü-laptop grind" in a year, Baltimore should really claim partial dibs.

The 10th Bonnaroo is in the books.
In addition to the great music, several things stood out for me at this year's festival. In no particular order, they are:
* Cell phones rule our world. This is hardly news, but it's hard to imagine attending the festival without one. Keeping up with friends at the festival, checking schedules, getting updates, watching highlights and, in my case, working via a smart phone are now a big part of the daily routine.
So important are these gadgets, some of the longest lines at the festival were in front of the Fuse Barn where people who had forgotten their chargers waited for hours to have them charged. The Fuse folks planned ahead and had chargers for most brands and models.
* I did not plan for dust. I brought plenty of water and ice for the heat and tarps for both shade and rain. I will spend the next several months checking with Desert Storm veterans to figure out how one deals with sand and dust and add whatever they suggest to my survival kit.
* Artist names can be tricky. Not knowing whether a name represents a he, a she or a they is one of the quickest ways to lose your cool card, and it's hardly a new phenomenon. Many a doofus has revealed his unhipness with comments like "I heard Led Zeppelin's son died," "I love Pink Floyd's voice" or "I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd drinking a latté at Starbucks yesterday."
Girl Talk is actually Gregg Gillis, Bassnectar is Lorin Ashton and The White Buffalo is a guy named The White Buffalo. If you are unsure, stick with the stage name and leave the pronouns out of your conversation.
* VIP is hip? The RV crowd is growing, and the festival is doing more and more to cater to them. The first Bonnaroo is remembered as a total hippie fest with the majority of attendees camping either in tents or makeshift campsites under tarps.
One of the beautiful things about the festival is the "we-are-in-it together" attitude. The VIP shift changes that. I'm not ready to say whether it's a good or bad thing in the long run (it was a sold-out crowd), but it was noted by many people standing in long lines for the port-a-potties that the air-conditioned bathroom trailer had no lines much of the time.

I got an email earlier this week from Graham Malley, who lives in Derby, England. He was writing to brag on and thank two of this city's living legends. Malley had just gotten to see, hear and meet Sam Gooden and Fred Cash, who were there performing with The Impressions.
Malley wrote that the group performed to a huge crowd, reducing grown men to tears.
"They did a meet and greet after the concert — nothing was too much trouble — posing for photos, signing autographs — many people bringing along their prized vinyl (remember that?) singles, EPs and albums — and happy just to chat. They stayed for an hour and a half after the performance until everyone had a chance to meet them. True gentlemen indeed.
"I was lucky enough to get Fred Cash's copy of the song listing for the performance, which they all signed," Malley said.

- Annual visitDougDDined on 11/20/2014Have had dinner here once a year and it never disappoints! Great service from Valet parking, hostess and our server Michelle. This is the place for steaks and the small and large ribeyes were done perfectly and almost fork tender. One in our party had the lobster tails and ate every bit. Warm Bread pudding with ice cream for dessert the perfect finale. We'll be back next year!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good steak houseNickiDined on 11/11/2014I would recommend it if you are in the Columbus areaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Constructive CriticismOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014We have been coming to Mitchell's since it opened. We have had many special occasions there. We have introduced friends. We've enjoyed wonder meals. But the last two times we were in, the service was not outstanding and the steaks were just OK. We took the waiter's suggestion for the bone-in filet and it was tough and undercooked. Mistakes happen and I hope these were isolated experiences.Special Features:
- Excellent restaurantAthensGaryDined on 11/6/2014We always enjoy and are never disappointed in this restaurant. As always, our recent visit was very pleasurable. The service provided by Mark was top notch, on a par with the very best in our dining experiences. It's a beautiful restaurant with great staff members.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- golferDined on 11/6/2014Mitchell's is a very welcoming spot that traditionally hires the most competent and knowledgeable staff. Michelle, in particular, regularly takes care of me and several guests with charm and efficiency. I always look forward to going back to Mitchell's. jI would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing experience!!ArroyoDined on 11/5/2014Classy, elegant and romantic to sum it up. Restaurant looked great, service was friendly and food was delicious!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectionljeatsDined on 11/1/2014We were out for a birthday celebration and this was great. From the greeting, to the servers, to the food this was a fabulous time. My husband had the steak and I had the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly. The desserts were excellent also. Will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our waiter was great!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/25/2014Our waiter was wonderful. He took care of us from the moment we sat down till we left. He was really super special. The iceberg salad, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus and STEAK was amazing and so were the drinks. We had a phenomenal time!Special Features:
- pattiDined on 10/24/2014Really great food and the service is perfect! we take our daughter there every time we are in Columbus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Destination Spot!LisaVIPDined on 10/19/2014Mitchell's is an exceptional restaurant with all the right pieces...food, service, atmosphere, pure class!!Special Features:
- A Great Experience That You Pay ForSEOhioDined on 10/17/2014Friday going to Mitchell's is an event -from watching the cars queue up on 3rd St to watching all the people who obviously go there FAR more frequently than this humble scribe. The service is hot-and-cold running everything. Ask, and you shall receive. THINK, and you shall receive. The food, is all excellent, from my perspective. A blissful oasis for adults. Again, blissfully, no Musak or roaming violinist. No cellphone chatter...please, SO declasse. If you answer your own cellphone, Mitchell's will serve you - .but you REALLY haven't been here often, have you? Very much a BMW 7 Series kind of place. No draft beer!! Bottle list is adequate but uninspired. Be prepared-the tip alone will run more than meals at other places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary DinnerOsu2018Dined on 10/16/2014We went for our two year anniversary dinner and the service we received was amazing. The hostess was very kind and interested in what we were celebrating. She even took a picture of us and printed it off as we ate. The manager greeted us as well and was very welcoming. We will be celebrating our third year anniversary here as well!Special Features:
- A nice timeMissDoodleDined on 10/14/2014We had a romantic dinner with very good service. Steak and lamb cooked beautifully, oysters Rockefeller were also delicious. Didn't care for green bean side though. Anyhoo, very nice staff and overall a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back for another visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- so sofinedinerDined on 10/10/2014Most of us ordered the filet; my wife's came out over-done, and mine seemed dry even though it was ordered medium rare. The Gorgonzola crust add-on was missing Gorgonzola for the most part. Drink were good, but overpriced at 13.50 for an old fashioned that was average. The waiter also seemed to push us to order salad or soup if we didn't at first. I just wasn't that impressed.Special Features:
- Dinner and a showDLazDined on 10/9/2014We dined with another couple and had a wonderful meal. Our waiter was so attentive and funny. Great personality. Give it an A+.Special Features:
- Outstanding Meal, Superb ServiceBIP73Dined on 10/9/2014Wine and steak were absolutely the best! NY Strip cooked perfectly to medium rare with a side of asparagus. Enjoyed two glasses of a Super Tuscan wine. Finished with desert - bread pudding - which was very delicious. Our server was excellent. Great experience.Special Features:
- Special Occasion Made PerfectGreatSteakDined on 10/7/2014As we entered, the hostess asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. Since we were celebrating our 25th anniversary, the hostess sprinkled hearts over the table and we were treated like royalty the rest of the evening, including two free desserts and a photo taken and printed out for us. Even though we offered to split one dessert, they insisted we take two and even packed one up for us to take home for later. The food was perfect. My wife said the french onion soup was the best she ever had and my lobster bisque was delicious. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the port wine reduction sauce was a perfect complement to it. I would highly recommend Mitchell's for a great night out or celebrating a special occasion!Special Features:
- L & DourniteoutDined on 9/30/2014we are in Columbus about three times a year. Our visit here would not be complete unless we go to Mitchell's steakhouse. They have the best steaks on the planet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and boy was it worth it! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Excellent wait staff & service. Quiet ambiance with appropriate lighting and DELICIOUS food! What more could you ask for!! Highly recommended!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/27/2014We eat at Mitchell's about once every two months. The food is always excellent. John, our recommended server, is fabulous. He even remembers are preferences. The wild mushroom appetizer is to die for. Never have we had a bad experience at Mitchell's. Their aim is to please the customer. Valet parking even adds more enjoyment to dining out.Special Features:
- NyeahJohnboyDined on 9/27/2014I used to be a Mitchell's Steakhouse nut. I counted the days until we could go back. Although there was a Buckeye game and the restaurant was empty, my daughter's steak was charred and mine was cold.Special Features:
- SpecialDinnerfortwoDined on 9/26/2014This is a great restaurant for special occasions. The food was great, timely but not rushed. The service person was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being annoying. My only recommendation would be to lower the price of the wines. The mark-up seemed excessive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-show dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/26/2014We had a nice dinner before a symphony/ballet concert at the Ohio Theatre. Service was prompt. The three course prix fixe menu was perfect in terms of pricing and portion. Good, cold flavorful Caesar salad, nice little filet (although the shrimp on top were overcooked). Delicious cheesecake dessert with dark chocolate almond bark. Coffee was great,, too. Nice size pours on the Scotch on the rocks and the wine. Always a trustworthy place to dine. Beautiful building and short walk to the theatre past the capitol.Special Features:

- Wonderful Evening !!!!!!!!!all16loveditDined on 9/13/2014Food, Staff and Ambiance was excellent! Party of 16 loved it!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EXCELLENTRyanPDined on 9/12/2014Very impressed. We went there to celebrate our 1st anniversary. The food, atmosphere and service were excellent. Our server, Rodney, was probably the best server we have ever had. He was efficient, timely, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Total cost of dinner was around $200 but well worth it.Special Features:
- Good food, spotty serviceAesculusDined on 9/11/2014Dined here about a month ago on a visit to Columbus. If I had to do it again, definitely would have chosen Hyde Park instead. My steak was prepared well, but service was slow and most of my meal arrived at my table a bit cooler than I would have liked. Server took forever to arrive to take our orders, and in fact, the couple sitting right next to me had to complain to the manager in order to get served. They ended up getting free drinks and desserts. I guess we should have been a squeaky wheel as well! Anyway, probably an off night, as I've had better experiences at this restaurant in the past, since I visit Columbus several times each year, but this time, not so good.Special Features:
- Great Place for dinnerBradleyVIPDined on 9/9/2014I live in Dallas, TX and I travel to Columbus monthly on business and this is my second time eating at Mitchell's Steakhouse. The food is amazing and the service is second to none. I am a huge steak person and living in Dallas we have the best around! I can say when away from home Mitchell's is a great contender.Special Features:
- First time WON'T be my last...tickledtastebudsDined on 9/1/2014What a romantic & decadent dining experience. Initially I was disappointed that the menu listed on the web differed from the in-house menu meant the item I had my heart set on was no longer available, the dish offered in it's place was quite delicious.Special Features:
- The food was excellent, but,pattiDined on 8/23/2014we didn't see our server for about 15 minutes and we poured our own wine and our white wine was not put in a chiller until we asked for one, which was about 15 minutes later.Special Features:
- saturday nightdollarDined on 8/23/2014I would rate the steaks and lamb as above average but not spectacular that I expected from a steak house. Our waitress "Jet" was very personable and good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very romanticOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014This was an awesome place to take my girlfriend on a date for our 9 month celebration. Of course it was expensive, but the food was well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mitchell's DowntownDRLGVIPDined on 8/17/2014What a wonderful meal. I will say the desserts are small compared to Ocean a Club.Special Features:
- will not recommenddisappointedDined on 8/16/2014We had excellent service but we were very disappointed with the rest of our meal. We ordered crab cakes to start with and they were vurnt, my beer and my wife's water had fruit files in them. These were quickly swapped out for new drinks. Our salads and bread was wonderful. My steak was fine but my wife ordered the lobster mac n cheese and it was very soupy and very little lobster in it for the $27 price tag. We have dined at many fine establishments, like del friscos and after hearing how great Mitchell's Steakhouse was we figured we would give it a shot and we knew we would spend about $150-$200, but our meal was nor worth the money. It was more of a $70 meal and not $139 plus tip.Special Features:
- One disappointmentbrailleman1948Dined on 8/16/2014This is NOT a Cameron Mitchell restaurant anymore. Gift cards not accepted. Very very misleading publicity. No where does it say the restaurant is owned by Ruth Chris.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Service Dog Laws in Indiana
The state of Indiana has specific laws in place, as do all states, governing the use of service dogs and requirements defining how and where they may be utilized. Service dog laws in Indiana classify these canines as service animals. Chapter 16, Sec 1.5 of state law lists these as follows: hearing, guide, assistance, seizure alert, mobility, psychiatric and autism service animals.
Service dog certification, while not required by law, can provide the specialized training required to fit the legal definition of a service animal in Indiana as receiving specific instructions in the aid of one of the categories listed above.
Section 2 of Chapter 16 of the service dog laws in Indiana, lists particular places of education where service dogs must be allowed entry. These include: nursery, elementary and secondary schools, as well as, undergraduate and postgraduate public and private institutions.
Other than learning facilities, Indiana offers a very short description of other public accommodations where service dogs must be welcomed as "an establishment that caters or offers services, facilities or goods to the general public". This will normally include bars, restaurants, fast food locations, retail stores, movie theaters and other places of amusement. Public conveyances such as, buses, taxis, trains and commercial airliners are also required to offer a reasonable accommodation to service dogs accompanying a disabled individual.
Once again, service dog certification is highly recommended to alleviate any difficulties you may encounter in public scenarios involving the service animal.
There are penalties established by the service dog laws in Indiana for interfering with the admittance of a service dog to a public venue or for any obstruction preventing the canine from performing its duties. It is also illegal to charge an additional fee due to the animal's presence. Failure to comply with the above listed conditions will result in a Class C state infraction.
While proprietors of these establishments are required by Indiana state law to admit a disabled person and their service dog, the owner of the animal is liable for any real damages caused, accidently or otherwise and may ask the individual to depart the premises should the dog become unruly in any way.
Service dog certification training is your best option in avoiding such situations from occurring.

The wand is the instrument of invocation of spirits. In most traditions, the wand represents the element of fire (in other traditions, earth, air, water or spirit) and symbolizes the life-force within the Witch. The wand dates back to prehistoric times. The Greek god Hermes is represented with a caduceus, a wand entwined with snake and winged top, a symbol of power, wisdom and healing.
Crystal Pointer Wand
This beautiful wand is 12 inches and makes a wonderful ritual tool, crafted in copper, pewter and crystal.

text: Gee, Could I brew something too? Constance. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Reynolds <woof231 at cox.net> Sent: Jan 11, 2004 4:04 PM To: Barony of Namron <namron at ansteorra.org> Subject: [Namron] The Grand Bru begins.... All, As discussed at Populous, the Grand Bru (yes, the name was changed they won't let me calling it the Brewing Orgy any more) was discussed quite thoroughly, and as announced will begin at 9 AM on Saturday, January 17. Barat will be brewing a British Brown, and Donnchaidh (I think that is spelled right) will be brewing a Red. Each batch will be 5 gallons. I will be maintaining all scheduling and planning for the Grand Bru, so if anyone has any questions or requests, please contact me. The purpose of the first day is to start brewing for events the Guild will be attending and providing beer BEFORE Ansteorra's 25th. The Guild fully intends to support all events it normally attends, in addition to the Grand Bru. Those events may include (and are not limited to): 1/30 to 2/1 Kingdom A&S 2/20 to 2/22 Academy of the Swords and Warcollege 2/27 to 2/29 Axman Cometh 3/15 to 3/21 Gulf Wars 4/2 to 4/4 Med Faire (we'll be there, but we won't bring any actual product) 4/24 Wedding of Genevieve (you may remember has as Jenn. a personal event, but one which may be attended by others of the Barony) 4/30 to 5/2 Crown Tourney 5/21 to 5/23 Eldern XVI 5/28 to 5/31 Steppes Warlord (Memorial Day weekend. We may have a brew day (or two) on this weekend. That much time is hard to pass up.) 6/4 to 6/6 Northkeep Castellan 6/18 to 6/20 King's College 7/4 Independance Day (mundane event best spent either with or avoiding family. If the latter, we can still put you to work). 7/9 to 7/11 Ansteorran 25th and Coronation These are all events that have sparked some interested in either Barat or myself, so they are on the schedule. If anyone would like to add events or request booze from the Guild, let me know as soon as possible. The earlier we hear of it, the better the chances of our supporting it. And if ANYONE knows the date for Beltane, please let me know and I'll add it. I asked our Baron last week, but haven't heard back from him yet. Our plan for January and February are as follows: 1/17 Brew Day 1/24 Brew Day 1/31 Kingdom A&S 2/7 Brew Day 2/14 Brew Day (yes, its Valentines Day. But well still be doing some brewing. Hows that for dedication?) 2/20 to 2/22 Academy of the Sword and Warcollege 2/27 to 2/29 Axman Cometh In addition, we need some help on 1/17. We need a few people to clean and sort bottles. If you have consumed some of our product, a good way to pay us back is to come and help clean/sort bottles. This may seem trivial, but we need to bottle some of our meads to open up carboys for beer. Ive even heard rumors that foodstuffs may be provided by several ladies of the Barony. Barat, Donnchaidh and myself will start brewing at 9 AM (and dont show up early, because Barat is grumpier than normal early in the morning.) Once again, let me know if you have any input to our plans.

The pilot was departing in a tailwheel equipped airplane on runway 36. He reported that during the takeoff roll, there was a left crosswind that varied from a headwind to a tailwind, and the tail of the airplane began to swing to the right. The airplane ground looped to the left, and ran off the left edge of the runway. The right main landing gear strut collapsed, and the right wing struck the ground. The airplane came to rest partially up on its nose and received damage to the right landing gear attach point, the right wing, and propeller. At 1550, an Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR) at Talkeetna reported the wind was from 245 degrees at 10 kts.

text: The Dargah of Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki January 3, 2013 Culture, Explore Delhi, The Dilli Daily By Mohd. Salman My kind of place in Delhi has always been the type that isn't reached via a straight road. The snaking around and the twists and turns always add more fun to a place. Especially when explored on foot. I took terribly long to explore Mehrauli somehow. It was only after six years in Delhi that I finally got to the Qutub and have I cursed myself for missing out ever since! Little did I know, that tucked away in a little corner, not very far away, was a place I would find just as fascinating. Hardly a kilometer away from the Qutub Minar, after a mildly amusing, mildly annoying, increasingly narrowing path, lies the Dargah of the Sufi saint Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki. The place swarms with people on Thursdays and Fridays, and on my last visit I arrived to see a mohalla cricket tournament being played in a little 'park' near the Dargah. The approach to the shrine is not very different from the approach to the dargah at Nizamuddin. Flower sellers, chadars and incense line the path leading , and the stall owners will very obligingly take care of your shoes if you ask them to. This being a less 'happening' place than Nizamuddin, you are thankfully spared the frenzied shouting and screaming of vendors and the like. The Dargah is built on sloping ground which makes the walk to the saint's grave even more engaging. {Bab E Khwaja, the saint's gate} The well-lit sanctum is where the saint and his most ardent followers are buried including the later Mughal emperors {Bakhtiyar Kaki was the spiritual successor of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, and occupies a very eminent place in Sufi mysticism}. There are many mosques inside the compound where small groups sit in prayer and I photographed some of the graves and shrines while dodging missiles from a badminton game that was being played inside the dargah. The saint himself chose the place where his shrine is now built, after he felt and got the proverbial 'good vibes'. He is known to have been extremely devout, praying so much that he hardly ever slept, and legend has it that in his final years he never slept at all. Recognised by the Khwaja of Ajmer as the man who would take his legacy forward, Bakhtiyar Kaki was the first of the great men who turned Delhi into a prominent centre for Sufism. Legend also has it that death came to him on the fourth day of an extremely elevated state of piousness. The most fascinating thing about these places for me is the fact that people visit them for completely different if not diametrically opposite reasons and that too simultaneously. Parents come to seek blessings for a newborn child when at the same time, people mourning a loved one's demise pray to the saint to shelter the departed and provide safe passage. A harmonium and dhol are lying in a corner of the chowk, the main courtyard, and anybody who feels like a qawwali can have a go. An amazing accompaniment to the evening's main event, I got to watch and hear a solitary singer accompanied by a child on the percussions. That said, when you go to a place like this, it is always worthwhile to probe the symbols and motifs you see there. There is much to be learned and understood from the excerpts of the Quran hung on the walls, the inscriptions on the graves and the instructions for prayer {thankfully written on a white board in Hindi considering my skills with Urdu}. It is important to sit awhile since the beauty of a holy place is not always in the commotion around the shrine, the frenzied asking of wishes or the bright and very visible rituals. I always tell myself that such places are where people are at peace with themselves and where they pray quietly in the serenity a shrine provides. I look for a corner to sit in to be as inconspicuous as possible, and I realise that the real sense of peace is usually to be found among those who come in silence, pay their respects to the dead, say their prayers alone, and spend a few hours at the shrine. Saints, deities, temples and mosques are just a medium or a mode of achieving the peace that ultimately has to come from within ourselves.

Here's Lookin' At You Cook (Paella), June Russell
I was at a backyard party in Brooklyn a few weeks ago hosted by my friend June. I'd been to her paella party at about this time of year last summer, and so I knew what kind of yumminess to expect from this event. I got there a little late, again. June was just adding the shellfish to a paella pan, plunking clams and mussels hinge side down into the rice. The wide, cast-iron pan was placed on top of a blazing hibachi grill on a small space of concrete. On top of another grill, there were sliced zucchini just going down, the smell of blackened shisito peppers was in the air, and trays full of grilled sausages, browned chicken, rabbit meat and beans flocking the station all told me that June had been laboring over open fire for some time now. My cocktail, served up by a guest/friend behind a makeshift bar, must have gone straight to my sun-weary head. I stood before the barbecue, transfixed, and watched the mussels and clams slowly open in the pan and continue to gape wide, as if they were all preparing to sing the Hallelujah chorus.

Help Healthy Bodega Initiative & Red Jacket Orchard Bring Local Produce to Bodegas
It's summer. There's produce, plenty of it local. It's coming to supermarkets, restaurants and Greenmarkets throughout New York City. But one place you won't hardly ever find it at is a bodega, those convenient, often round-the-clock shops where you can get toothpaste and telephone cards or tonight's dinner of ramen and chips. Unfortunately, this is the only type of grocery store that exists in increasingly more communities here. That's why the Healthy Bodegas Initiative was formed in 2005, aimed at increasing access to fresh food and improving the health of all New Yorkers through its bodegas. Targeting the most underserved areas, or healthy "food deserts," the mission has partnered with many bodegas and local organizations, such as the Greenmarket of Grow NYC (previously called CENYC). Check out Kerry Trueman's great interview with the initiative's founder, Donya Williams, on Food Systems NYC. And read below for an interview with Justone Bossert, Director of NYC Operations for Red Jacket Orchards, an upstate, family-operated fruit farm that's joined the cause.

Cassoulet Marocaine (and a recap of the Greenmarket Benefit Cassoulet Cook-Off)
I've been having a love affair with beans lately. This may have happened by default, with so few fresh muses in season to cook with, or else a newfound appreciation simply gained on its own merit: beans are infinitely versatile, used in every cuisine, hearty, and nutritious. They are the main ingredient in comfort foods of so many cultures, like the French cassoulet. But beans also have a stigma attached to them, especially in our meat-loving culture -- that of a "poor man's protein." (And please hold the gas jokes.) "Beans are not enthusiastically embraced by everyone," Ken Albala wrote in
Beans: A History.
"More than any other food, beans have been associated with poverty."
Yet thanks to them, and to a dizzying bar full of folks enthusiastically embracing them, beans have made the Greenmarket of New York City $2,500 richer.

Reason For Not Eating Out #37: Going Back to School
When Taylor Erkkinen and Harry Rosenblum opened their Williamsburg store for kitchen appliances and cookware in 2006, they'd had a notion about cultivating a community around cooking through occasional classes and demos. But who knew that the educational programs they would hold at the store would soon become The Brooklyn Kitchen's biggest draw, with classes frequently selling out a day after being announced?

White Bean and Brassica Ragout with Creamed Potatoes
Forgive the excessively esoteric sound of this dish's name. I had tried coming up with other things to call it: Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli and Braised Broccoli and Cauliflower Greens with Navy Beans and Creamed Potatoes? Too long. White Cauliflower, Cheddar Cauliflower, Broccoli and Their Combined Greens Braised with Navy Beans and Roasted Red Pepper and Served on Creamy, Truffled, Mashed Fingerling Potatoes? Too specific. Stuff That I Got From My CSA This Week, Cooked and Piled Ceremoniously Together on a Plate? That sounded better. But it was still pretty dense. I think the main thing to chew on with any dish should be the food, not the words.

Arrest made in Bledsoe County slayingsBledsoe County authorities arrested Brenda K. Brown, 47, of Pikeville, Tenn., Thursday, in connection to the Aug. 16 slayings of sisters Elizabeth Brown, 82, and Billie Sue Blaylock, 79. Elizabeth Brown was the mother-in-law of Brenda Brown, who has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
PIKEVILLE, Tenn. — Bledsoe County authorities say a woman's daughter-in-law gunned her and her sister down, they're just not sure why.
But one official noted that both sisters recently had changed their wills.
"It is something that we've looked at [in trying to determine a motive]," said Assistant District Attorney Jim Pope.
Elizabeth Brown, 82, and Billie Sue Blaylock, 79, both were shot once in the face, authorities said.
Brenda Brown, 47, who attended the sisters' funeral on Aug. 19, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Bledsoe County sheriff's investigator Ricky Seals said.
On the same day, officers searched her home, which is right behind the house where the slain sisters lived, Bledsoe Sheriff Jimmy Morris said.
Some items from the sisters' home were found in trash at Brenda Brown's home, said Seals, declining to say what those items were.
"Actually, that was what broke the case for us," he said.
Brenda Brown, a mother of two, is being held without bond at the Bledsoe County Detention Center and is scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court this morning, according to jail officials.
She originally was brought in for questioning after she called 911 on Aug. 16 and said she'd found the bodies, Morris said.
The motive is under investigation, he said, but evidence points to Brenda Brown.
He said he's at a loss to explain a reason for the killings. There had been no disagreements between Brenda Brown and the sisters, he said.
"[Brenda Brown] took care of these ladies," he said. "She took them to the doctor."
Morris said Brenda Brown was interviewed three separate times before her arrest.
Elizabeth Brown's son, Bill, has not been implicated in the killings, Seals said.
Seals said Bledsoe County officials and agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant Wednesday night at Brenda Brown's home, where they recovered a .40-caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun.
"That's going to be the weapon we believed was used," Seals said Thursday.
Authorities said the gun was hidden in the home's attached garage.
Brenda Brown has been in trouble before and is on probation from a sentence handed down in 2010.

In July 2009, she was arrested on felony charges of aggravated burglary, theft over $10,000 and vandalism over $500 for a break-in at the home of Bledsoe County residents Houston and Karen Thomas, according to Circuit Court records.
Last August, Brown pleaded guilty to all counts, earning a sentence of four years and 10 days from Bledsoe County Circuit Court Judge Curtis Smith, records show. Smith ordered Brown to serve four years of the sentence on probation and ordered her to serve the remaining 10 days in jail, 24 hours at a time, over 10 weeks.
The investigation into the Brown sisters' deaths is continuing, but Morris and Seals said they don't anticipate any more arrests unless something new develops.
A first cousin to the sisters, Ed Frazier, said the family was stunned by the arrest.
"It's just unbelievable," a shaken Frazier said Thursday afternoon. "We just can't fathom a thing like this happening in our family."
Frazier said he is most concerned about Brenda Brown's children, an adult daughter and younger son.
"They have to live with this the rest of their lives," he said. "That's a hard one right there."
The peaceful community has been shattered along with the family, he said, and his neighbors now are locking their doors, talking about buying guns.
"People are asking me, 'Do you think she did it?' I don't know," he said. "I just don't know."

Katadyn Pocket water filter
Having a reliable water source is key to your survival. Lugging around jugs of water just isn't an option. We fall in the category of "our gear must always work." Katadyn's Pocket is the toughest & longest lasting water filter available. Most water filters last around 200 gallons before cartridges need replacement. The Pocket uses a special silver-ceramic filter that will last up to 13,000 gallons. Though, you'll probably want to add an inline carbon filter ($12) to reduce chemicals and improve taste. Overall, it's extremely well designed; built like a tank – most last decades. Don't mess around with cheaper filters – get one that works when you need it and lasts forever.
