Registered Offenders seem to be getting a slap on the wrist these days. There has been several topics in the news in this area: torture, molest, incest etc. It is sad to think that that parents, teachers, and educators warn children to be cautious at all times around strangers.
Offenders have...

If you are like me, names come to mind instead of things when someone asks you what your absolute best gift was; my best gifts are Kati, Alex, Jordan, Cassidy and Carson. But in light of the fact that our kids are undoubtedly the most wonderful gifts we have ever received, what is your OTHER...

I first posted this story two years ago on my Tehachapi blog. The original title is "Mister Know-It-All". Hope it gives everyone a laugh.
My ex-husband was the first to admit that he could be rather mean-spirited; in truth, he often boasted of the fact, as if his ability to snap...

Today I went out for lunch. Nothing special, except that I usually eat in my office, preferring to save the five-to-ten bucks it costs for lunch for other pressing things, such as gas money. However, I just itched to leave the office today. Everyone, it seemed, from my boss to my coworkers, and...

We recently had the opportunity to try a new liqueur – Campari. What a perfect addition for the holidays. A bottle of Campari is an easy way to update your home bar or a fun way to try a new cocktail. Here are some of our favorite recipes for Campari...

When I was a child, one of the things that I loved about my birthday was that it meant that there were exactly three months until Christmas. That was when my family started planning and preparing. My mom and I would start shopping and baking and making gifts; my dad would begin planning and...

Is it any wonder businesses get any work done for about a week in February?
OK, I am exaggerating a bit. Certainly work is accomplished every day in private business, schools, courts, the DMV, banks, state, local and federal agencies. But it can sure be confusing WHEN the work's getting done....

Well, I told you the updating here might be slow in the early-going. Didn't mean for it to be quite this slow, but you know how things go around the holidays.
Speaking of which, how was everybody's Christmas (or holidays, if you prefer)? I went up to the Bay Area for the first time in my life...

So today's the day! Everyone knows it's the biggest shopping day of the year and the sales are outrageous, but is it really worth all the craziness? Is it worth waiting in line for hours?
Personally, I love this day and I'm a wait in line at midnight person. How about you? What time did you...

A once-promising holiday toy is now being recalled for containing the "date-rape drug" chemical.
This follows in a long line of recent recalls. In toys alone, the Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted 61 recalls this year so far, compared to 40 recalls last year.

Last Christmas was not too peaceful on the home front, right here at Bakersfield.com.
We fought like cats and dogs about what to call the holiday. With all of the fuss over the poster reminding students of the motto on their dollar bills, I can just imagine of the battles that we may have...

What do you think of gift cards? If you're like me, you got a few in your Christmas stocking this year. Are they a great gift that allows you to go out and buy what you really want or a thoughtless cop-out, a sign the gift giver didn't spend much time looking for gifts for you?
I...

I was at Valley Plaza today talking to day after Christmas shoppers. Do you like shopping on the day after Christmas? Do you shop that day for the sales, to return an unwanted clip on tie or to get a jump start on next year's holiday shopping? Or do you do whatever possible to...

I do not get caught up in the "spirit of the season" much anymore. I am annoyed by the crowds of shoppers who are more interested in getting their kids: A. The Best Deal on a gift, or B. The Best Gift On The Block. It pisses me off when I end up needing to run to a store to get some...

What's the worst gift you've ever given or received? Socks from grandma? Breath mints from a co-worker as a not-so-subtle tip? Did you give your wife a vacuum cleaner for your anniversary?
As a kid, I gave my aunt and uncle a tiny ugly ceramic squirrel for Christmas one...

Lately, I've been hitting the gyms more than normal as a group of us at the Californian finish our first-ever gym review (look for it to come out in the Eye Street section around New Year's).
Now I'm trying to keep the momentum going, which, you can imagine, is a hard task considering the...

It was still dark and some shoppers huddled near heat lamps in the Valley Plaza parking lot at midnight with a live band rocking away on the stage behind them. Just before 1 a.m. Friday the doors swung open ushering in a large crowd of hard-core shoppers and teenagers just looking for something...

Just wondering how many folks will be doing holiday shopping online this year?
I don't just shop for the holidays online, but a great deal of other times as well. I've bought clothes, shoes, electronics (lots of those!), housewares, toys, software, sporting goods, musical instruments,...

I had heard about the post-holiday guilt and subsequent New Year's resolutions to join a gym, but I had never heard of people losing weight before the holidays so they can eat their feasts guilt-free. This probably explains a lot. Anyway, Monday's Eye Street cover included a story from the...
