I'm in the process of redoing a small bathroom. I already ordered Delta showers and matching faucets in a finish called stainless (SEE PHOTO ON THE LEFT). Anyway, just yesterday I learned I had to trade out the pedestal sink I originally planned on for a wall-mounted sink, due to space limitations. It's a white porcelain sink. The drain that comes with it (and which I paid extra for) is polished "chrome brass." And the pipe trap is also "chrome brass" (PHOTO ON THE RIGHT). Note the sink is directly adjacent to the shower (which has the brushed finish). Question 1: Should I trade the brushed faucet (that I think is arriving today--YIKES!) for the chrome one (CENTER PHOTO)? (Alas, it may be too late, anyway?) Question 2: Should I use the drain that comes with the sink (chrome brass) OR the pop-up that matches the brushed faucet? Here are photos of the faucet in both finishes and the sink trap (the sink pop-up matches that finish). THANK YOU! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Before giving up a faucet I loved, I'd contact Delta to see if they have a drain and pipe trap in the same finish as the faucet. |

Hi, yes, I called Delta. The faucet comes only in the two finishes I've shown above. BUT I've decided to stick with the original faucet and use its matching popup. There is not as much visible sink pipe as I thought. Thanks so much! |

Civil War sure cure for 'SC hangover
From today's editions:
This week, the Oregon football team finds itself in a position the Ducks have experienced only three times in the past three years — trying to bounce back from a defeat in-season.
The Ducks' 38-35 loss to USC this past week was just the sixth of Chip Kelly's tenure as head coach, against 31 victories. Two defeats came in bowl games, making this the fourth time in his three years — and the second since 2009 — that Oregon has to refocus so quickly after a loss.
The Civil War looms Saturday, in Autzen Stadium at 12:30 p.m., so there's no time for the No. 9 Ducks (9-2, 7-1) to sulk over their national-title hopes being dashed by the Trojans. Which is a good thing, players said after practice Monday morning.
"For a Monday practice, it didn't feel like a game that we lost," senior offensive tackle Mark Asper said. "It didn't have that same feel as the bowl games, because after the bowl game, it's done. You have that sour taste in your mouth for months.
"The ability to bounce back — to get back to work, back to the grind — it's therapeutic, it's healthy.
"I prefer that to, 'We lost, thanks; take nine months off. Soak on that.' "
The Ducks stuck by their normal schedule of holding a Monday practice inside the Moshofsky Center, wearing helmets but no shoulder pads for a workout light on hitting. By then, all the dropped passes and turnovers and completions surrendered to the Trojans were memories, if not the distant type.
"We had a day to feel sorry for ourselves, and question what — if a couple different things had gone our way — what would have happened," junior guard Carson York said. "But that's over now, and we're looking forward." Click here for the complete story.

The staff were extremely helpful, tracked down a city tour guide for us even though they were scarce at holiday time. the facilities were adequate, and it was a quiet spot to spend two nights. The pool area was lovely and we enjoyed using that.

The location of this hostel is good - it's right near the beach. There was a nice guy working there, who we had a beer with. That's the nicest things I can say about this hostel. The hot tub was broken, and there was rubble everywhere. The pool looked very murky. There was no breakfast in the morning, and not really any vibe, even though the hostel was full. It was like a film set of a hostel - it looked OK from the outside, but on closer inspection, there was nothing there!

Advice for Young Women: Get a Union Job
11:11 pm in Uncategorized by Michelle Chen
Originally published at In These Times
Back in the days before modern feminism, a young woman looking for work might typically be advised, politely, to "learn a trade," with the implication that she wasn't bound for college or an elite career, but a humbler job as, say, a secretary or seamstress. Such a phrase might sound condescending today. Yet working in a trade might still be sound career goal for a woman, if she gets the right kind of job—in a union.
According to a new paper on women and unionization by progressive think tank the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), "Even after controlling for factors such as age, race, industry, educational attainment and state of residence, the data show a substantial boost in pay and benefits for female workers in unions relative to their non-union counterparts. The effect is particularly strong for women with lower levels of formal education."
In other words, all other things being equal, unions are good for working women, yielding higher wages and better job benefits. Specifically, "unionized women workers on average make 12.9 percent more than their non-union counterparts, are 36.8 percent more likely to have employer-provided health insurance and 53.4 percent more likely to have participated in an employer-sponsored retirement plan."
Of course, unions are good for men, too. Across the unionized workforce—which includes higher-paying, male-dominated sectors like construction—men actually see a bigger wage boost from union membership than women do. But for women, who still face a gendered pay gap, the gains that unions provide can be critical. CEPR notes, "All else equal, being in a union raises a woman's pay as much as a full year of college does."
The study concludes, "Considering the great boost to pay and benefits that unions bring, it's important that anyone who cares about the well-being of women workers also care about unions."
Even though it materially enhances many aspects of their working lives, the value of union membership for women tends to get overlooked. Media narratives and neoliberal feminist advice tracts like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In tend to stress higher education, networking and climbing the corporate ladder as ways for women to get ahead. But the report's findings suggest that "good union work"—an idea that's culturally more associated with rough-hewn longshoremen than single moms—may be an overlooked path to social advancement for women.

Planes head home from remote Indian Ocean as MH370 search is scaled back
PERTH (AFP) - The intensive aerial search for surface wreckage from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 officially ended on Wednesday as the hunt was drastically scaled back, with ships also moving out of the remote Indian Ocean area where the plane is believed to have gone down.
The Australian authorities said the focus would transition "over the coming weeks" to a more intensified undersea search in the quest to find out what happened to the flight with 239 people aboard that disappeared on March 8.
Eight nations have been involved in the unprecedented hunt - Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Britain and China - with more than 300 sorties flown across a vast expanse of remote ocean looking for debris.
But with nothing to show for their efforts from scanning more than 4.5 million sq km from the air since March 18, the planes have been stood down. "Most of the aircraft will have left by the end of today," a spokesman for the Australian-led Joint Agency Coordination Centre told AFP, although an Australian P-3 Orion would remain on standby in Perth.

While I only ever got plain white sheets with due dates listed on them, it seems designer TuÄŸrul Peker is doing a bit more for the reputation of the curriculum vitae.
The curriculum list by TuÄŸrul Peker features nightmarish creatures screaming, appropriately, as I assume many students will be screaming while they try to finish their assignments. The hand drawn illustrations add some fun to an otherwise dull (but sadly inevitable) part of classes.

Robyn pointed me toward this ad on Craigslist today:
Robyn, not knowing me that well yet, of course probably figured that I would not reply to this ad. But of course I replied to this ad. I had three reasons for doing so:
Images of my butt are available on various parts of the Internet and in various contexts, so obviously I'm willing to negotiate the possibility of a stranger having a picture of my butt. If anyone should test whether or not this person is legitimately trying to get back at their employer, or if it's just that he really likes butts, it should be me — any butt photo of mine that he would receive does not contain information that literally hundreds of thousands of other people don't already have.

Magnificent lily!! I've never seen one so robust and floriferous. Whatever you're doing to make it bloom like that, keep up the great work!! I would guess this is Trumpet lily 'Regale'. Whatever its name, it's a keeper!! |
Looks like Regale to me too. |

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 500
Rated 1 out of 5 by Neshehan Third times is the charm...NOT
I thought I would give this hotel one more try even after two less than wonderful experiences. This, my third stay left me scratching my head. Not only is parking cost way too expensive, there was no breakfast buffet, no bloody Mary mix, no wheat bread, and the walls are so thin any noise is quite noticeable. This hotel was once a four-star and reduced to a three star a while back. For the life of me, I cannot understand how this hotel is stil an SPG property.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristy32 Great hotel for the Money
I booked this Hotel for the convience of it being located near Cooks Childrens Hospital. I called the day of arrival to book our room. They still were able to offer me a discount of the hospital rate. Check in was fast and the hotel was very nice. They gave us a King room located on a corner. Lots of room for my little boy to play. Beds were a little hard, but hey for the price and only one night we managed!! Will stay here again if we have to go back.

Rated 2 out of 5 by hungryballerina Underwhelming
Generally ok for the price. The room was big and clean enough. The breakfast buffet was nothing great, the front desk did not give us coupons (breakfast was included in our rate) and there was some delay in checking out because we were charged for our breakfast. There was also one day when we left our hotel around lunch time and when we got back that evening our rooms were not cleaned and I had to call the front desk for towels. The gym is adequate.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MWD1945 Not up to Sheraton Standards
On arrival my room had been booked to someone else - in my name - and it took 25 minutes to fix it -- so I could get to a meeting half an hour late.
Three phone calls were necessary to get two light bulbs changed.
Renting a PG-13 movie required permission from the front desk (a good idea), which nobody knew how to do so I just went to bed.
Front desk told me the Shuttle was $55.00, and I bumped into Yellow Checker by the curb, who charges $18.00.

Rated 2 out of 5 by beachmana If you want good service, go somewhere else.
First of all, check-in time was 3:00. We got there early around 2:45 and thought we would just check and see if our room was ready. It wasn't and that was OK because we were early. Well, then told it would be at least an hour before it was ready. So, we decided to go to the bar and wait. The bar in the main area was closed and were told it is always closed on Saturdays. Really??? On a weekend?? Next, we got to the bar by restaurant. Took us forever to get a drink and we also were told couldn't have certain liquor (normal stuff) because manager hadn't unlocked the cabinet.. Anytime we needed a refill, we had to go get it. Next morning went up to restaurant to get breakfast--had to ask for coffee, silverware AND once we done, had to just get up and ask for check.. Very expensive hotel for the service we received. Would not recommend this hotel!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sho2014 Super helpful Staff
As Sheratons go, it was a pretty standard, clean, nice hotel. What was extraordinary was the staff, most especially the parking staff. John David went above and beyond helping me get the numerous boxes out of my car, giving me detailed directions, helping me coordinate with my partner's cars to get product to them and got me re packed and on my way in 4 minutes. Outstanding!! The maid service needs to improve but that's it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jeff1111 Poor Level of Service
This hotel (Sheraton Fort Worth) has poor customer service overall. There are many issues with this hotel such as toilets in the room not working properly or the iron not working. There are training issues with the staff and they are totally unorganized. If you are a traveler passing by the area, this may be a decent hotel to stay in however it is horrible for the frequent traveler staying in a hotel every week.

The valet car drop was ALWAYS packed - and these guys moved cars quickly, safely & efficiently. Front desk staff during check in were exceptionally friendly & quickly got us thru the process. The room did NOT disappoint - it was huge, bed & linens were comfy and the internet access quick. Check out was just as efficient. Located close to everything - I highly recommend this property and will stay there again!

Rated 1 out of 5 by hhobbs623 Not worth the money
My best friend had her wedding in FT Worth this past weekend and we stayed at the Sheraton Friday-Sunday. I came up Thursday and stayed in the brides room and everything was falling apart. The toilets didnt flush properly, the bed was falling apart and the toilet p[aper holder was falling off the wall. When I checked into my room on Friday we had the same issues. The stay was not worth the money we spent.
January 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dee55 Not a Good Experience
We received the discounted rate because we are Texas residents, (and you would think that would mean the best accommodations since we would be the most likely to return.) However, our room was really "beat up" and just 10 minutes after arrival a tiny bug was crawling on my foot while lying in bed watching TV. It was clear they were undergoing renovations but that shouldn't mean a bad room. Although clean, the indoor pool area was very dark and uninviting. However, I will say the bellmen were great! They helped with our shuttle service and gave us a lot of good information about getting around town--unlike the information we received from the front desk service.
October 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by grandma2 Pleasant staff
The hotel staff was extremely friendly. They were always willing to help. That said, the room was not wonderful. The carpet was badly stained, toilet paper holder kept tilting down which caused the roll to fall on the floor, tub faucet leaked. It was comfortable enough but needed some TLC. I put the "go green" sign on my door. When I checked out did not receive my "reward" coupon for any of the days the sign was on the door. Which was 5 days. Somehow I think this is just so they don't have to clean. When I did take the sign off I did not get the room cleaned, even after I mentioned to the front desk that I removed the sign. I had to ask twice for the room to be cleaned. I would recommend the hotel because it was very quiet and unlike most hotels I stay in the drapes really do darken the room. Props for that!! Also the restaurant was not good & was extremely cold. I had to go to my room to get a sweater.

The facilities are very dated and need replacement. Room carpet terrible, shower needs replacement and AC very noisy. Not what I expect from Sheraton. Employees are excellent, very helpful.One exception is Spa. Two people in our group called Spa to schedule an appointment, but never received a return call! Dinner buffet ok, but planned lunch in PDR was very nice.

This Sheraton location is not well maintained. The toilet tissue holder was hanging off the the wall and would not even hold the tissue, the wallpaper was coming off the walls, the coverlet had stains on it , there was a hole in the wall in the bathroom and the furniture looked as if it had been used for 20 years. This hotel is just not what I expected for the location.
March 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sadly99 Reccomend but with reservation - no pun intended.
This is my 3rd stay at this hotel and sadly my worst. Much with what I am unhappy amount has to do with other guests at the hotel. For 3 nights in a row there were very loud people in the hallways at 1:30 to2:30 am using foul language, etc. I did call and complain and security did come but the people went right back to what they were doing as soon as they left.
In my room there were a lot of stains on the carpet and furniture. Because of that I was constantly thinking about the cleanliness of the room. In the bathroom, there were stains as well on the countertop and wall but what really grossed me out was the blow dryer! It was sticky and disgustiing! I used a tissue to hold because I had no other option and the tissue stuck the dryer!
Lastly, in the workout center there was no air conditioning and the water cooler was empty.
I would like to say though that the valet guys were awesome! They were very polite and efficent.

Rated 3 out of 5 by blueyez05 Unsatisfactory
For the price of this hotel it was definitely not worth it. I didn't see anything special about this place. The rooms were boring. The staff gave wrong information. I told the lady at the front desk that I had tried to upgrade for $20 so I could get access to the lounge & free breakfast. She told me I could do both w/o upgrading. So I don't understand the purpose of an upgrade. Come to find out there was no free breakfast. Instead we paid $17 for an average breakfast there. I was not aware I would have to pay for parking. No one offered to help us carry our bags to the room. The water was not hot in the rooms from the 6th floor down. I want to brag on Sean/Maintenance because he got me a room w/ hot water to take a shower in thankfully. My shower was hotter than the hot tub. The shower I finally got to take was the best part of the stay. This was a waste of my points & $20 for parking. I will never stay at a Sheraton again.

This hotel needs updating! The hallways are in need of painting. In my room, the safe did not work, the bathroom sink was slow to drain, upholstered furniture was stained, wood furniture was scratched, no public television on the cable stations, and my room keys did not work twice. Although I was staying here for a meeting, I would choose another hotel next time.

There were two flaws: (1) I expected breakfast to be delivered to my room between 7 and 7:15. At 7:20, I went to the door and saw the staff never picked up the breakfast card off the door handle the night before. (2) My room was not cleaned and made up on Saturday for Saturday night.

Doesn't inform you when you checked in at the front desk
Our feet were dirty. It was the carpet in our room. Hadn't been cleaned in a while.
Our room was not made up until 5:00pm
They didn't have enough help.
We where on the club level. They didn't serve wine on weekends and food was horrible .
They didn't have enough food. Teenagers ate it all.

Rated 2 out of 5 by capecod This hotel is old and dingy
This hotel is in serious need of updates:
-Rooms old and dingy
-In wall air/heat makes noise all night
-Can hear toilet flushing in room next door, no insulation
-Workout facility is pretty weak, for a place that has 'spa' in its name
-Only staying here for a few nights to achieve award level for the year -- otherwise, would not be staying....

I checked into the hotel and was given my room key. Upon entering my room I found a man changing his clothes in the room. He stated that he had just checked into the room 30 minutes prior. When going back to the fron desk, the staff acted like it was no big deal and just gave me another room. I feel this shows very unrprofession behavior .

Rated 5 out of 5 by FortWorthTraveler Spacious - Affordable - Close to Downtown
Spacious rooms. Affordable rates. Close to downtown. Nice lobby area. BEST shuttle service!!! King Corner Suite was more than enough room for our needs. Wish it had a mini fridge, though. Staff was very confused about what amenities it actually did and didn't have when asking during booking. Needs pics on website! But I do recommend it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by TR12 Very noisy room
The room was very noisy ... Could hear the people in the rooms on both sides like they were sitting in the room with us. Could hear and understand every conversation, hair dryer, toilet flush and dice roll when they were playing a game etc. not very relaxing! Hallway noise was disturbing also ... No privacy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2boysmom Updates are nice but a few things could be better
the updated rooms are very nicely appointed but the bathroom is way to small (cant close the door when sitting on the toilet and my legs are not that long) and the mattress. Hard as a rock, wrecked the massage that I had earlier in the day. Pillows and bedding very nice, but overshadowed by the hard mattress

I stayed at this hotel because it was sponsoring the EMS conference. I had to change rooms do to the fact one of the beds had stains and hair still in it?!
The toilet in the 2nd room was having issues and both rooms had terribly stained carpet and walls. I would have never guessed a Sheraton to be this bad?

Besides the ridiculous charges of $15 per day to self-park, I came back to my room only to find the door propped wide open by the swing lock. My room was unsecured for who knows how long by housekeeping. The room was made-up, but all of my belongings were exposed to anyone who wished to steal them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by TristanW Housekeeping is terrible
Arrived at 5PM and room was not ready. Front desk worked to get the room cleaned but took over 30 minutes. And when arrived at the room, the bathroom had not been properly cleaned. There were long black hairs all over the floor still. Will never stay here again.

This hotel needs upgrades. My room's sink didn't drain well...filled up and pooled while I brushed my teeth. Gross. It also seemed like furniture was missing. There was a giant blank spot along the wall...seemed odd. The common areas of the hotels were nice, though, and the staff was very friendly.

London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/31/2012 -- More and more people are wanting to find ways for how to make money from home in 2013 as a means to take their financial future into their own hands during the current recession.
However, as many people find out, making money from home is not as easy as it first seems. So to help budding entrepreneurs in their quest to make money from home in 2013, WebTrafficToolkit.com has published their simple 3-step strategy that anyone can follow.
These steps for work from home success are based around taking advantage of the #1 recommended home money making method in 2013 that can be accessed at http://webtraffictoolkit.com/bestbiz.html
A summary of the 3-step process as outlined by WebTrafficToolkit.com is as follows:
- Affiliate Marketing – "Learn the basics of affiliate marketing because it is one of the easiest ways to make money from home. You do not need to have any technical or sales ability and you don't need to deal with customers. All that is needed is the ability to drive website traffic to someone else's offer for hands-free residual income," said WebTrafficToolkit.com.
- Sell High Ticket Items – "Many people struggle to make money in their own home based business because they try and sell hundreds of low priced ebooks around the $7 to $37 mark. But it takes a lot of skill to make that many sales. It is far more realistic for beginners to sell a few high priced items per month for the same amount of earnings, but without any extra work."
- Sales Funnel – "Make sure you understand the concept of the sales funnel. Make sure that when you send visitors to an affiliate program that you are not just making one off sales. You want to have other products as part of the sales funnel. For example, if you sell a low cost $97 product then make sure that you also earn commissions if the customer goes onto purchase $297 or $997 products from that vendor in the future. The sales funnel is where the big money from home is made," said WebTrafficToolkit.com.

Lobbying Grant from National Sierra Club
Robert W. Hastings
I am pleased to announce that the Alabama Chapter has received a lobbying grant of $13,637 from the National Sierra Club office. The grant provides funding for Conservation Alabama as our primary environmental lobbyist in the state, and for Alabama Rivers Alliance for work on the state's water management plan. Thanks go to Tammy Herrington of Conservation Alabama for spearheading the application for this grant, and to Gwyn Jones of the National office who guided us through the application process.
Conservation Alabama maintains a fulltime presence in Montgomery to make sound environmental policy a reality for the state. Conservation Alabama writes a weekly blog to inform activists of the previous week's activity in the state house and to give a preview of the week to come. In addition, they update constituents via social media through Facebook and twitter. Its Action Alert System keeps activists informed of pending legislation that needs our action. You can read Conservation Alabama's 2014 Alabama Legislative Recap here.
And thanks to Mitch Reid for leading the Alabama Rivers Alliance program to give Alabama a quality and effective water management plan.

Alabama Tar Sands
Adam Johnston, Alabama Rivers Alliance and Alabama Sierra Club
Alabama, the River State, is world-renowned for its biological diversity and unique ecosystems and is home to more aquatic biodiversity than any other place in North America. Our state's rich geological history is one reason we have such biodiversity.
Today, Alabama's geologic resources continue to provide amazing ecological functions as well as support many societal needs. Our rocks provide raw materials for construction and energy production; our rocks also provide the basis for our soils and agriculture and habitat for our animals.
Alabama's sandstone rock formations in the northwestern part of the state contain bitumen, a form of hydrocarbon, trapped in the sand and clay. This bitumen, sand, and clay form a tar-like substance that has historically been called tar sands. Today, the oil and gas industry, together with some political leaders of the state, wants to extract the bitumen from the Hartselle sandstone through mining and processing.
The Tennessee River, its tributaries, and all its dependent species will be threatened by the adverse impacts and contamination associated with mining and processing oil-bearing stones. One company involved, MS Industries, is proposing to use an unidentified, proprietary process to recover the oil from the sandstone. The County Commissions of Lawrence and Colbert counties have recently passed resolutions urging our Governor and state to conduct an extensive environmental impact study to be performed before any mining begins.
This mining could possibly begin as soon as our Oil and Gas Board finalizes regulations regarding the mining and drilling of tar sands. They are currently in the process of developing such needed regulations and were given authority by the Alabama Legislature (HB 503 enacted in May 2013) to regulate and permit the development of oil sands in Alabama. Obviously, some of our state leaders have already welcomed the company and its investors and think this is a good idea for Alabama, its people, and the land which sustains us.
I disagree with the people who think tar sands mining will be good for the economy and people of Alabama. The destructive nature of this process will lower property values, impact county roads, contaminate public water sources including streams and groundwater, produce dust and air pollution, disturb soil properties, and more. The list of potentially adverse effects is numerous.
Regarding pipelines and transport, we have seen too many spills, accidents, and mismanagement from the responsible parties. In Mobile, we have already seen our state leaders fail to protect the drinking water of the entire community from a similar pipeline.
Let us keep Alabama beautiful through our continued work in protecting and preserving places like the southern Tennessee River valley. Our families and communities will not benefit from the destructive and exploitative practices related to the mining and processing of tar sands. I encourage you to please lend any support to the dedicated citizens and groups opposing this development. Please visit saveourshoals.com and on Facebook at Stop Alabama Tar Sands Mining.
Alabama Rivers Alliance welcomes any questions, comments, or suggestions. Please feel free to contact me at any time: Adam Johnston, Alliance Coordinator, Alabama Rivers Alliance.

Essex DA Staff to Wear Black in Solidarity with Kaufman County Prosecutors
Essex District Attorney's Office staff members are joining a national show of solidarity with the prosecutors of Kaufman County, Texas following the murder of their District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife Cynthia earlier this week. Through the National District Attorney's Association, all prosecutors across the nation have been invited to wear a black ribbon to show support for their colleagues in Texas.
"It is a very small gesture but it reflects our deep sympathy for the family, friends and colleagues of D.A. McLelland, his wife Cynthia, and Assistant District Attorney Hasse, who was murdered in January," District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said. "Our hearts go out to the prosecutors and staff members at the Kaufman County DA's Office, who continue to seek justice on behalf of the people they serve."

In NATURE's HOLY COW, viewers meet John Webster, a British expert on cattle and animal welfare. Webster, a former president of the British Society for Animal Science, was one of the researchers asked by the British government to study the causes and consequences of mad cow disease. NATURE recently spoke with Webster about the past, present, and future of cows from his home, which overlooks one of England's many dairy farms.
In HOLY COW, the Lasater Ranch is used as an example of a more ecologically sustainable and more humane way to raise cattle. Is it the wave of the future?
Well, the Lasater Ranch is producing the equivalent of Fabergé eggs -- a very high quality product for which people are willing to pay something extra. But it's not as different from the usual practices as it may look. The major difference comes in the last 150 days of the calf's life; instead of being intensively fed corn and grain, Lasater Ranch calves feed on the range.
The typical method of raising beef in the United States probably will continue to spread to other parts of the world, in areas where it makes sense: where the breeding cows can get most of their food out on the open range, and the calves to be slaughtered spend the last part of the cycle being intensively fattened. Often, it's the best use of the land. It's a very effective way of transforming plants we don't eat into something we do like to eat. I'm not saying it's the most admirable method, but that it works very well and is likely to continue.

John Webster
In general, where do you see cattle operations headed?
Due to concerns about mad cow disease and animal welfare, I think there will be an increasing trend toward marketing steaks so that [the consumer] knows exactly which farm or farmer they came from. Some sources will be perceived to have higher quality.
As far as the welfare issue is concerned, however, the problems with beef cattle are nothing compared to the problems in the dairy industry. So anyone who avoids beef and elects to eat cheese due to welfare concerns is missing the point.
Where would you like to see things headed?
I'm not too concerned about beef, but the dairy industry is a big concern. In dairy, I believe the industry needs to "redesign" the cow. The approach with American Holstein dairy cows has just gone too far. The cows are very productive, and the system looks cost effective in the short run, but it uses the cows up way too quickly. On strictly economic grounds, cows should be lasting at least four lactation cycles, but it takes just two or two and a half cycles to use up current cows. An awful lot of cows are culled after that.
And it's not just me crying wolf -- the industry has realized things have gone too far. They are looking at changing the way cows are selected, trying to maintain milk production without getting a bigger and bigger cow that can't hold herself on her feet. It's a real shame to see these young animals glowing in good health, and then seeing them turn into old crones within a year.
What do we know now about the origins of mad cow disease, and ways to prevent it?
I was on a committee here in the U.K. that studied the issue, and nobody really knows the origins for certain. It may have always been with us at a very low level, people just didn't notice. But our farming practices multiplied it, particularly by giving young cows feed that included infected material, such as bone meal, from other cows. Studies show the vast majority of our cows were infected as young animals from material that was in their starter rations. That was pretty much unique to the U.K., and probably why we had a bigger problem than the rest of Europe. But if it is true that mad cow has always been here, it may never go away completely.
Are there still major differences in the way cows are raised in the U.S. and Europe?
Fewer and fewer. Traditionally, in Europe the cow took most of its food off the land. But it is becoming a lot more like the U.S., with grain coming in at the end of the cycle for beef cattle.
Have we reached the end of the road in cattle breeding, or will new engineering technologies produce new "super cows?"
Well, it depends on whether you are talking about beef or dairy. We've discussed dairy. In beef, however, you are really selecting for different things in the animals you are going to slaughter for meat, and the animals you are going to use for breeding. The best cow is not the best slaughter calf. In the calves you want muscle, and you want them to get large. The cows need to stay fat over the winters. So anyone who thinks you can breed one perfect cow for everything is headed in the wrong direction.
The cow has become a cultural icon in the United States. Companies put it on their products, and cow memorabilia is a huge craze. What accounts for that?
You know, the great thing about the cow is that she can eat plants we don't, on land the farmer might not own, and convert milk into cash for the farmer. So a cow was often the most valuable thing a farmer owned. Even during a drought, they would hold some value. So cows became an icon for value; they were simply the most valuable animal around. And in modern times, there is still the image of the cow as a rural animal, a symbol of what the poet Blake called "the green and pleasant land" of England where we built our "Jerusalem."
