Hitachino Nest Beer.
"Following the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the brewery has made the decision to repurpose itself to distill and bottle water for the population surrounding the brewery ... If you see these beers at UG or at any other store, please consider buying them. Not only will you be pleasantly surprised by the beer itself, but you’ll be helping to support a family that is doing so much in their country’s time of need.

The International Festival of Owls starts up soon, 4-6 March 2011, Houston, Minnesota, USA.
Why is this festival in late winter? The answer is:
Alice the Great Horned Owl is a permanently injured owl who works at the Houston Nature Center in Houston, MN and lives with her handler, Karla (Kinstler) Bloem. This blog is a mishmash of stories about how Alice applies her owl instincts to a life with humans, information about the International Festival of Owls held in honor of Alice's hatch-day, a vocal study on Great Horned Owls that began because of Alice, and just about anything else that pertains to owls.
Alice the Owl News is a fascinating and detailed blog about human/owl co-existence.
For the record, Ovvlvverk encourages people who find a lost or injured owl to find their way to dedicated specialists in Avian behavior.
