MOORE — Birthdays. That uniquely wonderful day each year when family and friends treat you like a queen.
You can expect a hug and a dozen text messages wishing you a Happy Birthday. If you're truly lucky, a florist will bring you a bouquet of the most fragrant roses with a balloon announcing to everyone that this is your special day.
For dinner you get to select a restaurant or have someone prepare your favorite food. Cake will follow with candles and your name written in delicious gooey frosting with ice cream to top if off.
When our son was a child he never wanted his birthday to end. Somewhere along the way we began celebrating his "birthday week," leaving up the balloons and decorations for days following his birthday. It made it more special for him and for us.
A family friend thinks we go over the edge, most likely due to the fact that in their family no balloons are ever hung on their birthday. Tthere is no cake or party unless it is their 16th, 21st or 25th. Birthdays are just considered another day in their life. How sad.
I think if I could change things, I'd opt for having birthdays every day of the year. Imagine what a wonderful world it would be if we were treated every day like it was our birthday?
People would be nice. They'd smile; send us an e-mail or voicemail; a text or a card. We'd know we were loved by simple acts of kindness. A touch of heaven on earth. Oh what bliss.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Convention ratings plummet after Packers game
As expected, the Green Bay Packers' final preseason game easily was the highest-rated program of Thursday night, according to the A.C. Nielsen overnight ratings survey. The game against the Kansas City Chiefs on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) averaged a 22 rating.
The game's ratings peaked at 8:15 p.m. with a 25.4 rating. The game ran until 9:05 p.m., causing the station to join NBC's coverage of the Republican National Convention in progress.
A substantial number of viewers - approximately 118,000 television households - abandoned the station at that point, although enough stayed to watch presidential nominee Mitt Romney's acceptance speech, and Clint Eastwood's rambling monologue, to make NBC's convention coverage on WTMJ-TV the most-watched of the night.
It averaged an 8.9 rating, a drop of about 13 points from football.
A local ratings point is the equivalent of 9,100 households.
All local stations carried Romney's speech. WITI-TV, (Channel 6) whose coverage aired during its regular 9 p.m. newscast, averaged a 3.2 rating. ABC coverage on WISN-TV (Channel 12) averaged a 2.8, and CBS coverage on WDJT-TV (Channel 58) a 2.7.
The cumulative number of households watching the convention Thursday night was about 40,000 households lower than the number that tuned into the Packers game.

What I really wanted after the Packer game was the 10pm local news...it wasn't on, so I watched HGTV...much more interesting than Romney's speech (when I was clicking through stations trying to find some local news, I heard a few seconds of Romney...sounded like someone gave him drugs...hoarse, screaming, and almost crying...what's wrong with him????).Hide replies
To be fair, the networks didn't cover the convention, they covered themselves covering the event.
If they could turn their egos down for a minute and simply cover news, more people would have stayed with the networks out of sheer habit.
By your standard the networks should just announce the nominee and skip the rest. All of the speeches amount to nothing more than a televised political ad. That goes for both Rep. and Dem conventions.
Rachel Lynne,
I was the entire speech. You are such a liar in your characterization. Do you ever tell the truth? Good grief, what a bitter hag you are.
Corey is a shining example of that conservative class we have grown to love in last year.
It's scary that people like you vote, bird brain.
The only Pac Romney knows is his super PAC big business buddy contributes that he's going to do special favors for if elected!
It's a sad state of affairs when more people care about a "means nothing" football game than what the next President of the United States has to say. This pathetic attitude is probably a big part of the reason this country is in the mess that it's in.Hide replies
The politicians are the reason the country is in a mess so the people are getting fed up with listening and looking at them. It doesn't seem to matter which party is in office anymore, the debt keeps climbing and the jobs keep disappearing. Same old same old.
As an indendent, I watch both conventions. However, because I want balance, I watch MSNBC during the Republican convention and Fox News during the Democratic convention. It's the only way to balance the phenomenal spin that both parties present during their time. Romney's acceptance speech was fine...not spectactular. Both he and Ryan actually presented nothing. I heard NO plans, NO specifics. I expect the same will happen next week. As a side note, Clint Eastwood was horrible. He rambled; he has little or no public speaking ability. I was surprised at how bad he was. And why, oh why, was he on last night? He simply didn't fit. It's a puzzlement.
Not counted in the rankings is the number of people that watched it online or on C-Span. I was one of them. Just wanted to watch the speeches without the slanted coverage and commentary from the networks.
As one commenter fequently writes nothing to see. ..So moved on. The parties have a problem in Wi no one except political junkies will or wants to listen to them any more they both have offended our collective sense of fairness.
It wasnt the packer game that caused lower ratings it was the fact that as the week went on people just couldnt stand the lies anymore lol.
So some CheeseHeads couldn't even miss one game to learn about the man who could lead their country? Bo wonder we have a goof-off like Obama, who would rather play golf and go to fund raisers than work at his job.Hide replies
Goof-off? Rather play golf???? Where do you get your news from? Approve of his performance and policies or not, this is yet another mischaracterization of the Obama presidency, and more lies coming out of the mouth of a Republican. Quite a week for that.
Maybe its because no matter which party is in office the outcome will still be the same. Dems, repubs, the debt just keeps climbing and jobs keep sliding off the shores to go to other countries. The elite politicians don't seem to care that they are ruining America.
I`d rather watch the packer`s than hear the old man with dementia clint eastwood.
I guess the people voted with their channel selector.
Politics has become thoroughly depressing. People are losing faith in both parties to fix what is wrong with America. We can't seem to get the pols to vote for what is good for the country, they have their own agenda, so people are turning to something entertaining. That might sound UN-patriotic but when people begin to doubt the self important "leaders" and they don't see any way to change the situation they tune out until they are so mad they do something drastic.
Why do you think there was so much anger at the "town hall" meetings? People do NOT like the actions the pols are taking.
It is time to make a clean sweep of DC.
I think it would be best if they were NOT in DC. If our senators and reps were IN their home state, voting electronically on bills then the lobbyists would have to travel to all 50 states to mess with OUR congress people. That would make it awfully expensive and mighty difficult for them. That would limit THEIR access to OUR congress people and make OUR congress people easier for US to have access to. Bring them back to their home state where they belong and get them OUT of DC.

Because I've had a quart of buttermilk to make use of and have been making lots of "Buttermilk This and Thats," I've learned very quickly what an incredible, stark difference in moisture real, fresh buttermilk makes in batters! SO much better than using soured milk, or powdered buttermilk, and so much better than not being included at all (I offer the "Black Magic Cake" from this site as proof!) The crumb is soft, tender and moist, just as it is in this cake as well. This cake is not overly sweet, so I hope no reviewers will dock it for that - it is a coffeecake, after all, not a dessert cake, although for my tastes it's perfectly suited for dessert too! For those of you familiar with "Blueberry Buckle," either the butter or shortening version, this coffeecake is similar...but better because the cake is significantly more moist, fluffy and has a more delicate texture. The ingredients and preparation method are perfect as written, tho' those wanting more "spunk" could certainly add some cinnamon to the crumb topping, or swap out the blueberries for other berries, or even use a cinnamon swirl or fruit filling (peach sounds awesome to me)! The crumb topping is what it should be, somewhat crackly and buttery, not cloyingly sweet or greasy. This batter is so basic, and so good that I'll be including this recipe in my reference file. Once again I'm convinced that any batter-type recipe with buttermilk in its list of ingredients is worth giving a second glance to.
I haven't tried this recipe but in reading the reviews someone said the blueberries all sank to the bottom. To prevent this add the blueberries to the dry mixture and make sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients before adding the wet. This also works for raisins & nuts.
It's about time I rated this recipe because I have used it so much with great success. It's great just the way it is, but is also really easy to amend to your needs. I usually halve this recipe and bake it in an 8x8 inch glass pan with great success. The halved recipe also did well in a 9 inch springform pan IIRC. I halved the amount of baking powder in the original recipe in order to get rid of that metallic taste that comes with using too much. You could also try making baking powder using baking soda and cream of tartar which would also not leave a metallic taste. I have started adding a very small amount of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. I use 1/8 tsp when I make the full recipe. Just a tiny bit really adds something. I too added brown sugar instead of white to the topping, which made it look much better. I also like to use oil instead of butter which creates a cake that keeps very well, moist, and you don't have to spend time creaming it. for a lower fat cake I have tried substituting water for half the oil, but this made a slightly tougher cake. I might try applesauce sometime instead. I add the oil to the wet ingredients. whole wheat pastry flour mixed in with the white flour also worked quite well.

Oregon's springtime super low tides are the best because that's a time when the dinner table is set.
Mitch Vance, Shellfish Biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said that any of the really good low tides during daylight hours provide ample opportunities to harvest Oregon's varied bay clam species.
"Some folks like to get out as early as possible and have more digging opportunity; they follow that tide as it goes out, looking for new exposed areas and then work back as the tide turns to flood."
Norm and Bonnie Clow recently traveled to Tillamook Bay from their home in Dayton, Oregon.
They were among the first early risers to explore the exposed sand and gravel bars on a sunrise clamming adventure.
The Clow's have been digging their dinner on the bay for more than sixty years and said the 4a.m. wake up call was "no big deal!"
Best advice for the novice clam digger?
"Keep digging," Clow said with a chuckle. "Usually, the clams are thick enough that if you dig one hole and excavate out, you will have little problem harvesting a limit."
April, May and June each provide many super low minus tides that occur early in the morning.
This is the favored time for digging bay clams with names like horsenecks, quahogs, steamers and cockles.
Jeff Folkema, alocal guide and the owner of Garibaldi Marina, showed off a half dozen of the prized horseneck clams that he harvested from the bay.
He said they are called "gaper" clams because of the "gape" in the shell where the neck pokes through.
"This is a nice size," he said while handling a hefty 2-3 pound grapefruit-sized bivalve. "This is pretty average size with a lot of meat. A good sized clam but I have seen much bigger too."
Jeff added that clam diggers 14 years and older are required to purchase an Oregon Shellfish License.
"And remember that each person who is harvesting clams must have their own container – a bucket or a clam net on their belt – even a plastic bread bag will do – because you cannot lump other people's clams into your container – you'll get a ticket for that."
Keep your eyes open for ODFW placard that show pictures of the different clams species along with the harvest limits and other regulations.
Vance offered: "If you're digging it really helps to know what you're after so you can understand the regulations around that species."
He added that abundant food, reliable cold, clean water contribute to perfect habitat for bay clams populations in most of Oregon's coastal estuaries.
There is also a delicious reward for the clam digger's efforts – bay clams can be delicious according to local resident Don Best who showed off his limit of quahog clams.
One of his all time favorite recipes is an old-fashioned clam fritter:
"All it takes is a little cracker crumb, flour and egg – perhaps some chopped onion. Chop up the clams, mix them with the batter and fry them in a skillet with oil. They are awesome that way!"
Vance added that in addition to supper from the sea, digging bay clams can provide hours of family fun for each member of the family: "Oh, it is really good for families because it's so easy and there's not a lot of gear – just a shovel or a rake – so get the kids in some boots and get them out here and have some fun in the sand."
Don Best's Clam Frittter Recipe
Makes 15 to 18 fritters
Vegetable oil
1 cup unsifted flour and a half cup of bread crumbs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups chopped clams
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
In deep fat fryer or large heavy skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In medium mixing bowl, beat egg, milk, 1/4 cup reserved clam liquid and 1 tablespoon oil.
Stir in dry ingredients and clams. Drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil.
Fry until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels.
Refrigerate leftovers.
Rick Thompson is a detective - not a crime detective but of Oregon geologic history.
He's on the trail of one of the region's oldest mysteries: how hundreds of Montana granite stones ended up in farm fields in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
"They've been in the ground a very long time," noted Thompson on a recent field trip into western Washington County. "Farmers usually plow or till them up and they're often just sitting where the icebergs left them as they melted."
Icebergs in Oregon's farm country?
"It's true!" said Thompson, a member of the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute.
"The icebergs just floated around and then reached a certain area and sat there, melted and these rocks fell out, " he added.
The evidence of icebergs is all around the metro area too; like the hiking trail at Fields Bridge Park along the Tualatin River in West Linn.
Three granite rocks totaling 46,000 pounds rest along the trail.
Thompson's group, Ice Age Flood Institute, designed the paved, wheelchair-accessible trail, complete with several information kiosks along the riverside trail.
As you stroll you learn much about the remarkable events that occurred 15,000 years ago.
In fact, one kiosk offers a colorful map that Thompson created of the Willamette Valley that shows off the ancient "Lake Allison;" a 400-foot deep lake that stretched from Kalama, Washington to Eugene, Oregon.
The ancient lake was created when the massive Lake Missoula burst thru an ice dam and flooded the region.
"I used a topographic map and traced the four hundred foot depth level all the way down to Eugene. I drew all the nooks and crannies where the valleys would have filled with water and then I went back and put in all the major cities, towns and highways so people can have a sense and appreciation for how much water there was in the valley."
Thompson is a self-proclaimed "flood nut" and said that the huge floods roared thru the Columbia River Gorge with water lapping at the ridge tops.
He said that the flood events occurred perhaps a hundred times.
The floods carried giant granite boulders called "Erratics" deep into the Willamette Valley across Lake Allison.
In fact, not long ago we flew with Roger Anderson and his Vista Air Balloon Adventures over the valley floor and saw the lasting impressions of the flood events.
It was a breath-taking ride to be sure, but it was also quite revealing for we could easily make out Lake Allison's marks on the valley floor.
We could see the rise and fall of the river and lake bottom that was created during the ice age floods.
In addition, you don't have to travel far to see and touch ancient history too.
There's a huge erratic rock near Sheridan, Oregon at Erratic Rock State Park.
At 90 tons, it's the biggest in the state and you can visit and touch the rock anytime.
Not far from that site is another huge erratic that you can visit and perhaps enjoy a glass of pinot too.
Pull into Left Coast Cellars Winery and see the second largest erratic in Oregon.
What makes Erratics so special?
"Oh, the distance from it's source," noted Thompson. "Plus, it's all granite and to imagine the size of the iceberg that carried a 90 ton rock so far from its source is just amazing."
The icebergs floated across Lake Allison for a time and most were pushed west by prevailing winds.
When the water dropped and the bergs melted, the granite chunks were left behind – like a ring around the bathtub.
"It affected the entire northwest and shaped the Willamette Valley," said Thompson.
Moreover, the Lake Missoula Floods eventually brought pioneers to Oregon in a roundabout way.
It's true! You see, the floods or rock, ice and other debris scoured the Eastern Washington landscape of all its rich topsoil and then deposited it in the Willamette Valley.
It was the same rich topsoil from which early Oregon pioneers built a thriving agricultural economy in the mid-19th century.
Thompson speculates, "It's interesting because if the flood and erratic events not happened, Oregon agriculture might never have developed either."
It is such a powerful and compelling story that nearby Tualatin, Oregon has embraced it too.
Last December, Yvonne Addington, President of the Tualatin Historical Society, helped arrange the delivery of two giant erratics that are now displayed at the Tualatin Heritage Center.
She said that local folks are betting the erratic story is something people will want to see and know better.
Put simply, she believes that "if you display the ancient rocks, people will come."
"We have a strong interest in the ice age here," said Addington. "A local man discovered a Mastodon skeleton in 1962 (it is displayed in the Tualatin City Library) and that has led into erratics conveying the power of nature that shaped of our community. It's something that visitors and residents can enjoy and it has a special quality that no other city really offers."
Back out in Washington County, Thompson continues to track down more erratics across farmland as he develops an "Ice Age Trail."
He wants travelers to someday journey the region and learn more about the powerful forces that shaped the Oregon we know today.
"It's a detective story," he said. "And I love mysteries!"
It's called the "HUB" and it's a neighborhood hit where standing room only is the rule on most nights.
Folks come from all over to SE Portland's 29th and Powell to sip a brew, dine with friends and relax in the knowledge that things are different in the newest neighborhood eco-pub.
Keri Rose, a neighbor and regular customer, explained: "It's amazing beer that's organically brewed, plus really friendly people and I think you get something uniquely Portland. I think the HUB speaks to all of us who are really oriented toward that way of life."
The HUB is an eco-Pub and it's a first on the SE Portland brew scene that's built upon the practices of sustainability, organic ingredients and eco-friendly ideas.
The business is the brainchild of Christian Ettinger, the HUB's Brewmaster (he has fourteen years experience brewing beer,) and alongside his dad, Roy Ettinger, (a veteran architect of forty years experience) the team co-designed the nearly 17,000 square foot eco-pub.
Both agree, the 1948 building that they selected for the HUB, once a diesel fuel depot and a former Caterpillar Tractor showroom wasn't always warm or inviting.
"Oh no, not at all," noted the elder Ettinger. " It was full of dust, you couldn't lean on anything because you'd get black soot on you. There were
tons of wires strung on the ceiling …just 43 years of decay and dust and it was that greasy, grime."
Christian quickly added, "We turned what was 60 years of a business into piles of material that were to be either recycled or shredded into fuel or reused."
The deconstruction took over a year an a half to complete - but they salvaged every bit of material from the old building – the first step in walking the talk of creating a sustainable brewery and restaurant where reduce, reuse and recycle is an everyday business.
Christian noted that the bones of the building, the old growth doug fir posts, beams and planks were solid, substantial and deserved new life.
The old wood became the booths, bar and other varied pieces of furnishings in the HUB.
And then there is Christian's signature statement; scores of bike frames and old wheel rims that were incorporated above the bar and the booths of his pub.
"Every one of these frames was recycled and I'm only about 300 bucks into this – and it really sets the bar apart from anyplace around."
Downstairs, you could say the same thing about the HUB's brewery where pesticide-free and fertilizer-free ingredients are staples of the 10 crafted organic beers that the HUB produces each week.
In the kitchen, organic ingredients take center stage too – from pizza dough to the sauces to the sandwiches with all the trimmings and more.
In fact, even the heat from the pizza oven is recycled and circulated to heat the heat the pub's water.
"That's free heat," said Christian. "Free heat is free energy and lowers our bills but it also lowers our needs to bring in fossil fuels."
Lionne Decker, the HUB's General Manager, is quick to point out that the entire HUB team walks the talk of taking care of the environment and making customers smile at the same time.
It starts with a commitment to the environment, a commitment to what you're putting on the plate, what you're putting in the pint. Really, it's a commitment to leaving the world a better place than we found it. It's amazing! It really is."
It's amazing adventure that may keep you coming back for more – built upon a philosophy worth living.
The Hub is one of just three Oregon breweries – out of 80 statewide – that have made the move to produce all organic beer.
The folks who work at the HUB are eager to share and explain all of the different ways that they walk the talk of sustainability.
So, stop in and enjoy a beer and strike up a conversation! The folks at HUB will be pleased to tell their story - it's that sort of a friendly, neighbrohood place.

It's a place where you may soon discover that back-road adventures are the very best when they let you enjoy a sneak peek at nature.
There are nearly 30,000 acres of refuge that reach across more than 20 miles of terrain that provides an eastern point of view to the mountain.
Josh Moulton, the White River Wildlife Area Mgr, noted, "We're a bit off the beaten path for sure; tucked out here in the oaks and pines at about 2100 feet in elevation. You soon see, it's a different sort of wildlife area."
The White River Wildlife Area was established in the 1950's to keep wintering deer and a growing elk herd up in the Cascade Mountain foothills rather than down on neighboring farmlands.
"A winter feeding program continues to serve the wildlife; both deer and elk," added Moulton. We begin feeding in early December at designated stations throughout the refuge and the animals pretty much tell us by their behavior when to stop. That is usually about now. We planted an alfalfa field last year and the deer love that. It's giving visitors a bit more reliable opportunity for viewing the deer herds – which can reach several hundred strong in winter."
Moulton added that the eastside view to Mt Hood is a surprise for visitors too: "We're less than twenty miles as the crow flies and while many of my friends in the valley say, 'You should see our view of Mt Hood.' I have to chuckle because you really should see it from this side too. It really shines from up here."
Above the nearby burg of Tygh Valley, an overlook provides a peek to the namesake White River and marks a route that pioneers followed in the great migration across Oregon to reach the Willamette Valley.
There are several lakes and ponds but a short cast away where boating and fishing can be enjoyed:" Many folks have weekend or summer homes at Pine Hollow Reservoir and nearby Rock Creek Reservoir, said Moulton. "People come for the fishing – trout fishing. It's easy access for the kids too– no steep banks."
From Tygh Valley, you may wish to strike out further east on a short four-mile drive along State Highway 216 to another secret hideaway where the White River plunges over a basalt shelf.
White River Falls State Park offers a sprawling greenway with scattered picnic tables at a day use site that opens each spring.
You'll be drawn to explore the rugged quarter-mile trail that takes you riverside where you discover something more:
A complicated system of pipes and flumes diverted water from above the falls down into a powerhouse and where electricity-producing turbines generated power for the region from 1910 to 1960.
The Dalles Dam construction and completion led to the White River project's demise and it shut down in the 60's.
For obvious safety reasons, Oregon State Parks does not want visitors inside the old powerhouse building that is falling in upon itself. "Keep Out" signs on the shuttered building make that message clear, so observe the signs as you explore the riverside scenery.
Do not forget a camera when you hike this path for the photo opps are numerous and stunning – of the river, the canyon and the powerful White River Falls where two plunge pool falls drop more than 90-feet in dramatic fashion at this time of year.
The park is a popular picnicking, hiking and fishing retreat for visitors who wish to dip their toes in this corner of the greater Deschutes River corridor.
White River Wildlife Area and White River Falls SP offer easy to reach high desert escapes – for scenery, history and relaxation.
The Tualatin River meanders thru neighborhoods and industry on the western edge of the Portland Metro area.
It is a slow moving stream flanked by towering trees that puts on quite a colorful show each Fall.
Yet, natural drama is only part of the Tualatin River's story on a getaway that takes effort, planning and persistence according to a small platoon of adventurers from the Tualatin Riverkeepers, a local conservation group.
The group had gather at Menefee Park in Yamhill County to compare notes and prepare their gear for a day long hike into one of the most stunning and surprising sites of the Tualatin River watershed.
"It's rugged, it's treacherous and you need a good topo map, a compass and a GPS would help you find it," noted longtime Tualatin Riverkeeper Paul Whitney.
Tarri Christopher, a TRK member agreed, "Not everyone can do this. This isn't 'take your entire family and go on a stroll' hike. You have to be prepared – you have to be fit."
Fit enough to tackle steep, relentless and unforgiving terrain along the upper Tualatin River in the Oregon Coast Range Mountains.
Lew Scholl joined the expedition too. He had been on a trip like this before but way back in 1993 when he accompanied five friends from TRK who stumbled onto this remote stretch of the river.
It was meant to be a two-hour hike but it turned into an all day bushwhack.
"The six of us got together and we were led by then-TRK President Rob Baur. We were just going to stomp down the river and chase a rumor about a significant waterfall. We really didn't know what we were getting ourselves into as there was no trail and we constantly had to wade across the river, doing whatever it took to get downstream."
After hours of scrambling and rambling up and down the steep-walled river canyon, marked by big trees, hug boulders and sheer rock cliffs the group heard something loud and constant.
Scholl said it sounded like thunder, but it was a waterfall that wasn't on any map.
"We looked at each other and said, 'Hmm, that sounds like water rushing,' and we got up on some rocks and looked down and holy smokes, it's a 45 foot waterfall!"
The thick cord of whitewater rushed and then spilled out of a hidden cleft in the ancient basalt rock.
It was certainly a well-deserved reward for his efforts, but Scholl couldn't really believe that no one had ever heard of it.
"It was interesting because obviously the area was logged over. So, someone knew about the falls at one time. In a way, we re-discovered the falls."
Scholl added that they submitted a name for the waterfall to the State Geographic Names Board and eventually the waterfall was added to government maps.
In 1999, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde recognized through a tribal ceremony the cascading "Ki-a-Kuts Falls," (kia-cuts) named for the last chief of the Atfalati Indians, a local band of Kalapuya Indians.
"The Elder KiaKuts stood up for his people back when Joel Palmer of the US Indian Bureau tried to get the natives to move off their land," said Scholl. "The chief said, 'No, we don't want to go to a distant reservation – we want to stay right here. Why can't you make a reservation here for us? The only thing I want is for the settlers to stop harassing my children."
"It's a fitting name because the falls were not discovered by the Tualatin Riverkeepers," added Tarri Christopher. "The falls were here long before any of us knew about it. Native people knew the place long ago, so it should be rightfully recognized that way."
Flanked by basalt columns and cliffs, KiaKuts Falls is a timeless and serene moment that is fitting reward for the effort that it takes to reach the restful site.
Brian Wegener, a TRK member, added, "It is hard to believe it's the same Tualatin River that most of us know in the Portland area. It is so different up here from what it looks like down in the valley. If you're adventurous and in good health and you can use a map and compass and find your way, it's a beautiful place to be."
Tarri Christopher agreed and added, "If you see where it comes from – to see the beauty of it – I think we're more likely to take care of it. It's a special place and it's worth the effort to get here."
Special Note:
The Tualatin Riverkeepers is a good place to start for specific directions to KiaKuts Falls.
It deserves special note that planning and preparation are critical if you want to visit KiaKuts Falls. That means good hiking boots with proper arch and ankle support, pack plenty of water, food, rain gear and a first aid kit.
Remember that it is a remote area with unreliable cell phone service and private logging roads. It is advised that you check wit the Forest Grove office of the Oregon Dept of Forestry for information about road closures.
You may also want to visit soon because when fire season begins, access roads through private timberland close down.

WORTHINGTON, Ohio – More than an hour before dawn, a line started forming outside the Worthington Presbyterian Church polling station in this suburb of Columbus. So it went all over Ohio on Tuesday as voters turned out in force to play their outsized role in electing the president.
"It's something people around here take some pride in – that we have maybe a disproportionate amount of control in the outcome," said Doug Metz, a retired Worthington lawyer who showed up at the church a few hours later to cast his ballot for Mitt Romney.

Famous Dave's barbecue is trying a new concept with it's Evergreen Park location set to open on Monday, Nov. 19, at 2851 W. 95th St.
"It will be 3,600 square feet with seating for 104," said manager Andre Pleasance. The eatery will be the chain's eighth location in the Chicago area, all of them corporate owned.
"That's about half the size of a traditional Famous Dave's," he said. "It will be the first counter service Famous Dave's in Chicago."
Customers will place their order and get a number for their table and the food will be brought to them. Famous Dave's other Chicago-area locations are full service.
Pleasance said the Minnesota-based chain is testing the smaller concept in Evergreen Park, and, if successful, may use it in other urban areas.
"The closer you get to the city, the more carryout and delivery orders you get and fewer dine-in customers," he said.
Though it may be smaller, the restaurant will feature Famous Dave's customer service, Pleasance said.
"We are so over the top for service," he said. "We should do well with our customers who will not be treated better anywhere else."
The restaurant will start out with a staff of 60 to 70 employees and a limited delivery area for local businesses.
"We'll deliver locally to businesses at first," he said anticipating delivery to residences to start in January.
Pleasance said the Evergreen location will open at 11 a.m. Monday with a traditional bringing in of the embers for the barbecue pit.
Hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant will be able to sell wine and beer.
The chain operates more than 170 restaurants in the United States. The nearest one in the Southland is in Orland Park.
For information, call 708-423-5546 or visit Famous Dave's online.
Old Navy On the Move
Old Navy will move next week from its longtime home at 238 Commons Drive in The Commons shopping center to its new home at Chicago Ridge Mall, next to Carson's.
"We're not sure what day we'll be moving," said a clerk at the store. "But it will be the week of Thanksgiving."
She said the store in the Commons would close the night before the new store opens.
The retailer is remodeling and moving stores in an effort to rebrand the chain as "The New Old Navy."
The new store is expected to carry the chain's winter collection when it opens.
For information, visit Old Navy online.
Black Friday Hours
Both Ford City Mall and Chicago Ridge Mall will be open starting at midnight on Black Friday, Nov. 23.
This will be the first time Ford City will open at midnight, and the mall will give away free goody bags to the first 250 shoppers in the Center Court.
Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart, Kohl's and Old Navy are national chains that have said at least some of their stores will open as early as 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night.
Sewing and Quilt Expo
The Original Sewing & Quilt Expo will be held at the Tinley Park Convention Center at 183rd Street and Harlem Avenue on Nov. 15-17.
The show includes classes, workshops, retailer booths, how-to demonstrations and fashion and trunk shows.
Show hours are Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
General admission is $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Children 12 and younger are free.
For information, visit Original Sewing & Quilt Expo.
Doll, Bear and Toy Show Coming
The Illinois Doll, Bear and Toy Show is coming to the Tinley Park Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18.
The annual show is moving this year to Tinley Park from Naperville and features free appraisals with paid admission.
Admission is $10 for early birds (admission at 8 a.m.), $5 for adults for regular admission and $2 for kids 12 and under.
For information, visit Doll, Bear & Toy Show.

By Mike Schneider and Kyle Hightower
The Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. — With police and civic leaders urging calm, a jury began deliberating George Zimmerman's fate Friday after hearing dueling portraits of the neighborhood watch captain: a cop wannabe who took the law into his own hands or a well-meaning volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin because he feared for his life.
The sequestered jury of six women — all but one of them white — will have to sort through a lot of conflicting testimony from police, neighbors, friends and family members.
Jurors deliberated for three and a half hours when they decided to stop Friday evening. About two hours into their discussions, they asked for a list of the evidence. They will resume deliberations Saturday morning.
Witnesses gave differing accounts of who was on top during the struggle, and Martin's parents and Zimmerman's parents both claimed that the voice heard screaming for help in the background of a 911 call was their son's.
Zimmerman, 29, is charged with second-degree murder, but the jury will also be allowed to consider manslaughter. Under Florida's laws involving gun crimes, manslaughter could end up carrying a penalty as heavy as the one for second-degree murder: life in prison.
The judge's decision to allow the jury to consider manslaughter was a potentially heavy blow to the defense: It could give jurors who aren't convinced the shooting amounted to murder a way to hold Zimmerman responsible for the killing.

The Patuxent River
The Patuxent River was first recognized by the State of Maryland as a valuable natural resource, worthy of protection, in the Patuxent River Watershed Act of 1961. This legislation declared that "flood prevention, land conservation, erosion control and protection from urban development within the watershed is a public benefit and conducive to the public health, safety and welfare." In 1968, the river was designated one of Maryland's scenic rivers.
Several properties are open for public use including:

Live Osprey CamOspreys are fish eating migratory birds that return every year from South America to nest along the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River. The park has erected artificial nest platforms along the river and monitors their activity throughout the season.
The male returns first and begins nest building using twigs and branches. When the female returns, the mating ritual begins. The young are born in May. By August, they are ready to leave the nest, separate from their parents and begin the annual migration back to South America.
Our Osprey Cam is located at Jug Bay Natural Area near the boat ramp at Jackson's Landing. The best time for viewing is early morning or late afternoon when the osprey bring fish back to the nest.

Alan J. Dabbiere, a McLean resident who is prominent in three businesses, paid $8.2 million for Hickory Hill, one of America's best known addresses, and has now gutted it.
Joseph P. and Rose Kennedy first owned it. Then Jack and Jackie Kennedy moved in. They didn't stay very long. Then Bobby and Ethel Kennedy moved in, raised their 11 children. The address became legendary for its parties, its owners and its family.
The Washington Post reported that the house was up for sale seven years with an initial asking price of $25 million.
The new owner, Alan Dabbiere, is the chairman of AirWatch, an Atlanta company specializing in managing mobile devices. He is also the president of AJD, LLC, a privately held investment company, and serves on the board of PrimeRevenue, an Atlanta-based supply chain finance company, according to the AirWatch website.
". . . we consider that we own this property to be confidential and went to great lengths to put the ownership in a trust and protect our privacy," Dabbiere said in an e-mail to Patch. He said later in a brief phone conversation, "I have gone to great lengths not to have my name associated" with Hickory Hill.
He is quite right. The deed says Ethel Kennedy sold the property to John D. Marshall, Trustee of The Hickory Hill Trust. Marshall is the CEO of AirWatch.
Hickory Hill, a 7,850-square-foot Georgian manor built in 1870, with a 1931 addition, sits on a 5.6-acre property. It used to contain 13 bedrooms and 10 baths, 9 fireplaces, a tennis court and pool, according to the county tax records.
Everything in the house is now gone. The interior has been gutted to the exterior walls. The living room floor appears to be scaffolding. Ladders are used to get to the second floor.
Fairfax County issued a permit June 1 to demolish non-load bearing walls only, according to a county spokesman.
An application for a second permit was submitted July 20 to underpin foundation of existing three story home with basement and put new slabs. . rebuild 2nd floor balcony with metal railing; raise roof of portion of existing 3rd floor doomers to create bigger guest room. . . interior alteration to existing basement to include bedroom, kitchenette, new elevator in existing shaft.
That application also called for building a three story addition with basement to include kitchen sink & 5 car garage in basement level and wetbar on 3rd floor. Build detached 2 story 3 car garage with balcony on 2nd level. The application is still pending, according to a county spokesman.
Dabbiere and his family already live just about a block from Hickory Lane. They paid $3.8 million for a five-bedroom, fiv- fireplace home on a narrow lane just off of Chain Bridge Road in 2005, according to county tax records.
Dabbiere serves on the board of trustees of the Potomac School, a private school in McLean. "Alan and his wife Ashley reside in McLean with their four children, with their oldest a second grader at Potomac," according to the Potomac website.
The Washington Post reported that Hickory Hill has been designated a National Historic Landmark meaning that developers couldn't subdivide the land and throw up McMansions.
ORIGINAL STORY: Hickory Hill, one of the best known homes in the U.S., is undergoing massive renovations.
Hickory Hill is the former home of Ethel and Bobby Kennedy and their family, was sold for $8.2 million in 2009.
The new owners: Alan Dabbiere. Alan J. Dabbiere, is the chairman of AirWatch, a global provider of enterprise grade mobile device management solutions.

|Prev:« Plastic Challenge: Becca Ryals and Gordon Bennett, Week 2
|Next:Plastic Challenge: Danielle, Week 10 »
Plastic Challenge: Danielle, Week 9
Name: Danielle
Week: 9
Personal Info:
We are collecting our plastic trash for all of 2011. Read about our family on my Week 1 post.
Total items: 15
Total weight: 2 oz.
Items: Recyclable
1 miso container (#2)
Items: Nonrecyclable
3 wrappers (from toaster pastries)
1 bag (from raw cashews)
2 rings from milk jugs
1 cap from milk jug
3 produce tags
1 wrapper (from cream cheese)
1 plastic seal (from sour cream)
1 cough drop bag
1 veggie crumble wrapper
What items can I replace with plastic free or less plastic alternatives?
Bag from raw cashews. I normally don't buy… but I'm testing recipes (for an upcoming cookbook) and I wasn't able to plan ahead to get the nuts in bulk (note: at the store I shop they have a good bulk section, but not everything comes in bulk… they package many things in little plastic bags… they had already packaged the cashews, but I was able to get walnuts unpackaged).
Toaster pastries: I'm letting my kids pick one thing that comes in plastic a week. (I'll explain in a bit.) After this purchase, I looked up how to make toaster pastries and we will be attempting that this week: http://sweetsbysarah.blogspot.com/2008/04/pop-tarts-at-home.html
What items would I be willing to give up if a plastic free alternative doesn't exist?
Miso. I've actually had it since the summer… another thing I normally don't buy, but have been using for some of the recipes I've tested.
Cough drops: I buy them once a year. (and if I remember correctly… you are attempting to make homemade cough drops??)
What items are essential and seem to have no plastic-free alternative?
Ok… not an everyday essential… but sour cream and cream cheese. I hadn't bought either since September. While I was sick, I wanted cupcakes… so when I got better, I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting. I don't make cupcakes that often so maybe a couple of times a year is ok… hmmm??
By the way, I realized how much I love sour cream… as a side note, I used to purchase sour cream every single time I got groceries… so is there a plastic-free alternative… can I make sour cream?? (or cream cheese??)
What lifestyle change(s) might be necessary to reduce my plastic consumption?
Planning and not giving into cravings. (though the cupcakes were AMAZINGLY yummy and exactly what I wanted.)
What one plastic item am I willing to give up or replace this week?
Toaster pastries… we're going to make them!!!
Cream cheese.
What other conclusions, if any, can I draw?
Since I'm doing this challenge for the entire year… I keep trying to understand what lessons I should be learning from all this… I remind myself not to feel guilty about things because the point of doing this is to become aware of what I can change… I'm working on ways around using plastic and in order to create lasting change… it takes time…
This week, I made the decision to let my kids pick out one snack that comes in plastic (that is as long as I can't make it). I decided to do this for my kids because my 8 year old son is starting to resent "plastic-free food" (yikes!!)… I feel like if they have choices then he'll start to embrace this more and it will be easier on me. :) (hopefully)

WATERVILLE, Maine --- The Colby College men's squash team loses Harry Smith, possibly the greatest player in program history, to graduation. The Mules will still have a Smith in CJ, Harry's younger brother.
Smith is expected to take over the first position in his first year with Colby. He and the Mules begin the 2012-13 season Saturday with away matches at Northeastern and MIT. The Smiths are the younger brothers to Colby graduate Samantha Smith, who is one of the greatest women's players in program history.
John Eder had the best record for the Mules last year at 21-5 and should play at three. Roy Simpson III moves up from the third spot to the second spot. Steve Carroll (16 wins), Ben York (17-12), captain Pete Gabranski (14 wins), and Darryl Soto also return.
The Mules lost Will Sullivan, who was 21-11 at the second spot last year, to a season-ending injury. Will Hochman is studying abroad and will miss part of the season after going 19-13 at the fifth position for 12th-year head coach Sakhi Khan.
First-years Yuga Koda and Greg Ho are expected to join Smith in the top nine positions.
Arjumand Masood, Jyot Arora, Spencer Jeffrey, James Grote, and Bowen Tretheway also will battle for playing spots.

Care of Boiler. Importance. The life of a locomotive boiler depends largely upon the systematic and intelligent attention it receives apd the particular locality in which it is used. The time elapsing between cleanings and washings varies between wide limits with different roads and different localities, depending largely upon the character of the service and water used. The proper blowing out by the engineer in order to prevent undue concentration of material in solution is of much importance. Some roads require this blowing out to be done while running and others at terminal points. The removal of sediment or sludge, such as soft scale, mud, etc., can best be accomplished at terminals after the water has had time to become more quiet.
Much importance is attached to the manner of cooling down and washing out. When done hurriedly the boiler usually suffers. The following directions for washing and cleaning boilers are abstracted from instructions furnished employes by one of our well-known railroads.
Cooling Boiler. Boilers should be thoroughly cooled before being washed. When cooled in the natural way, the steam should be blown off and the water retained above the top of the crown sheet and allowed to stand until the temperature of the steel in the fire-box is reduced to about 90° F., after which time the water may be drawn off and the boiler washed. When the locomotive cannot be spared from service long enough to be cleaned in this manner, the following plan should be carried out.
After the steam pressure has dropped considerably, start the injector and continue filling the boiler until the injector will no longer operate. Then connect the water pressure hose to the feed hose between the engine and tender and fill the boiler full, permitting steam to blow through some outlet at the top of the boiler. Next open the blow-off cock or valve and permit the water to escape, but at a rate less than that entering from the water hose, so as to keep the boiler completely filled. Continue the process until the fire-box sheet has been reduced in temperature to about 90° F., at which time shut off the water, open all plugs, and allow the boiler to completely empty.
Washing Boiler. Washing may now be begun by first washing the flues by the side holes opposite the front end of the crown sheet. Next wash the top of the crown sheet at the front end, then between the rows of crown bars, if provided, and bolts, directing the stream toward the back end of the crown sheet. After washing through the holes near the front end of the crown sheet, continue washing through the holes, in order, toward the back end of the crown sheet, in such a manner as to work the mud and scale from the crown sheet toward the side and back legs of the boiler and thus prevent depositing it on the back ends of the flues. Continue washing, using the holes in the boiler head, with the swivel attachment on the hose, working from the front to the rear, endeavoring to thoroughly wash the top of the boiler as well as all stays and the crown sheet.
Next wash the back end of the flues through suitably located holes and afterward the water space between the back head and the door sheet through the holes in the back head, using the angle nozzle. The inside arch flues should also be washed thoroughly from the back head and scraped with the proper form of scraper.
If washout plugs are provided in the front flue sheet, wash through them, using a long pipe nozzle of sufficient length to reach the back flue sheet. If the holes are among the flues, the nozzle should be a bent one and should be revolved as it is drawn from the back end toward the front.
Now wash through the holes near the check valves at the front end of the boiler, using straight and angle nozzles with swivel connection. Then wash through the holes in the bottom of the barrel near the rear end, using the straight nozzle directly against the flues and reaching as far as possible in all directions. Both the straight and bent nozzles should now be used through the front hole in the bottom of the barrel, in the same manner as before, to clean the flues and the space between the flues and the barrel.
After washing the barrel completely, clean the back end of the arch flues, making sure they are free from scale. Next by using bent nozzles in the side and corner holes of the water legs, thoroughly clean the side sheets and finally clean off all scale and mud from the mud ring by means of straight nozzles in the corner holes. It should not be assumed that because the water runs clear from the boiler that it is clean and free from scale. Carefully examine all spaces with a rod and light and, if necessary, use a pick, steel scraper, or other suitable tool in removing the accumulation of scale.

Quemadmoeum gladis nemeinum occidit, occidentus telum est!
You can be the weapon, and the gun in your hand is a tool - or the gun is a weapon and you are the tool.
I was looking for a saint who was a devil of a lover,
but every girl I found was either one way or the other...
Not sure about what it does or will not do in regards to glocks and shooting cast bullets. Glock just specifically states its a no no.
If you got brownies a solid bullet would be a must out of a pocket rocket in my opinion. It will be about penetration if you want to get something done. No handgun fired bullets gonna knock a 1000lb bruin on its ass. If it does not run due to being hit or dies from being hit its gonna do what a bear will do. If you are able to push some grey matter in it might do the trick.
I would not feel well equiped to handle a bear with a glock in any caliber. If I was backpacking in the woods and had plans to spend a good amount of time doing so and with a limited budget I would invest $200-300 in a remington 870 and load it with as many rifled slugs as it would hold. I would get a fiber front sight again its cheap and can be installed by most anyone.
If you wanted to trim the weapon a bit you can get riot guns from most any dealer that have shorter barrels and moss has a shotty they sell with a pistol grip for about the same money. Its about the best advice I can give you. Most people that have shot in their life have shot shotguns and its pretty easy to handle and be decent with even under stress.
Big bore revolvers weigh about as much as a shotgun in large calibers and are extremely expensive in most cases and very difficult to be good with for most people. You go past .44 mag with them you will be going into very powerful handguns that are going to be difficult to manage under stress and nothing says stress like being charged by a brownie. At least it would be stressful(shit my pants) for me.
Edited to add: They also sell the moss and remi shotguns in a stainless version for weather and environments just like where you are living.STOP RESISTING!!!!
For he is God's servant to do you good, but if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
The opinions expressed in this post are mine, and mine alone. They are NOT the opinions of my Agency or my Agency Heads.
I have a G29 and have shot the Buffalo Bore before. It is hot! It is also $$$$. Only go through a mag or two to get the feel of it and save the rest for hiking. For practice I think that I run the Winchester (white box?) or Corbon through. I've run the cheap Blazer rounds but I don't think I would use that for carry ammo.
I also have a G30 and can use the same holsters and ammo pouches.Verified Libra- There sure are a lot of people born in August around here.
Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes he gets you.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Even though wide receiver Hakeem Moore caught another long touchdown pass to continue his very productive senior season, Towson University (1-3) couldn't control Columbia quarterback Sean Brackett as the Lions (1-1) dealt the Tigers a 24-10 non-conference loss at Robert Kraft Field at Lawrence Wien Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
During most of the first half, the Tiger defense put a lot of pressure on Brackett. However, as the game wore on, he did a very good job avoiding the pressure and improvising plays.
After taking a 7-3 halftime lead, the Lions controlled the second half and pulled away for a 24-10 win.
"Hats off to Coach (Norries) Wilson and his coaching staff,' said Towson Coach Rob Ambrose. "Their players played very hard and they earned themselves a win."
The two defenses controlled the play for the most of the first quarter as neither team could threaten to score. In the first quarter, the two teams combined for just five first downs and only 119 yards of total yards.
As the first quarter ended, Columbia was on the move. An 18-yard run by Brackett on the final play of the quarter gave Columbia a first down at the Tigers' 44-yard line. However, the Lions' drive was ended when sophomore defensive end Matt Morgan sacked Brackett at the Lions' 47-yard line, forcing a 53-yard punt by Greg Guttas.
Starting at their own 20-yard line, the Tigers put together their best drive of the first half. On the first three plays, Nygee Carmichael picked up 18 yards on three carries. After Tremayne Dameron picked up 16 yards on a pair of runs, hooked up with senior Hakeem Moore for a six-yard gain at the Lions' 42-yard line. Two plays later, Blanchard hooked up with Moore on a 16-yard pass play as the Tigers reached the Columbia 20-yard line.Bart Blanchard
On third down at the 18-yard line, Blanchard threw a short pass to Carmichael, who reached the 11-yard line, just one yard short of a first down. Rather than try for the first down, the Tigers sent senior Nick Wallace into the game to try a 28-yard field goal. When he connected, the Tigers owned a 3-0 lead with six minutes left in the first half. The Tigers marched 69 yards in 14 plays and took 7:40 off the clock, more than half the second quarter.
Led by Brackett, Columbia responded with an impressive drive of its own. Avoiding the Tigers' pass rush, Brackett completed all four pass attempts for 69 yards on the drive. At the Tigers' 19-yard line, Brackett avoided the rush, stepped to his left and fired a 19-yard touchdown pass to running back Zach Kourouma along the sideline. Kourouma made it to the end zone for a touchdown that gave the Lions the lead. When Luke Eddy converted, Columbia had a 7-3 lead with 2:14 remaining in the first half.
On their first possession of the second half, the Lions extended their lead. A 38-yard run by senior Leon Ivery gave the Lions a first down at the Tigers' 27-yard line. Five plays later, Ivery scored on a five-yard touchdown run to give Columbia a 14-3 lead.
Midway through the third quarter, junior defensive back Nick Oates intercepted a pass by Brackett at the Tigers' 38-yard line. Two plays later, quarterback Chris Hart threw a long pass that Hakeem Moore caught at the Columbia 30 yard. Moore avoided two tackles and scored his fifth touchdown of the season. His 62-yard catch for a TD was his fourth reception of more than 50 yards in the first four games of the year.
His TD reception cut the Tigers' deficit to 14-10.
However, that was all the offense the Tigers could generate the rest of the game.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, sophomore Nick Gerst capped off an 80-yard, 11-play drive by scoring on a five-yard TD run to give Columbia 21-14 advantage.
With 8:46 left, Eddy kicked a 37-yard field goal to round out the scoring.
For the Tigers, Blanchard, a transfer from The Citadel, made his first start at quarterback for the Tigers. He completed 13 of 20 passes for 89 yards. Hart, who started the Tigers' first three games, also saw extensive action against the Lions. He completed 9 of 14 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown. Each threw one interception.
"We are not looking to rotate quarterbacks," explained Coach Ambrose. "Chris Hart won the job in the pre-season. But, we cannot be successful if we are turning the ball over. No quarterback can play for us if he keeps turning the ball over."
Sophomore Erron Banks and Hakeem Moore each caught five passes for the Tigers. Banks had five receptions for 53 yards while Moore had five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown.
Moore has now caught 13 passes for 352 yards and five touchdowns. He is averaging 27.1 yards per reception. He also has 695 all-purpose yards in four games.
