Hunting with a legend
Recently, we had the good fortune to hunt with a Northwest duck hunting and calling legend: Roger Reynolds. You can read about Roger here in an archived article from the Ellensburg Daily Record. Bob and Roger go way back, hunting partners and buddies for nearly half a century. After watching 1000's of ducks pile into open water just next to our spread we moved from our first spot, and proceeded to shoot our limits of mallards and pintails in just under an hour. And this time, I was able to get some video before the hunt was over, it's nothing special, but better than what I've produced in the past.

Duck club weekend
Had a good weekend of hunting with my buddy at his duck club. Good food, great wine, and of course, plenty of Mallards, with a Pintail pair and a Gadwall pair thrown in for good measure. My attempt to get some quality video failed miserably, so I only have few photos to share. Mallard Mulligan stew is on the menu later this week!

Went out jump shooting Wednesday after work. Doubled on a couple geese at my first spot and never saw another bird after that-hope birds start showing up soon. No complaints though, one of the geese came with a little jewelry.

Test-tube burgers leave a funny taste in my mouth
I confess. I have a beef with fabricated beef -- the stem-cell hamburger manufactured in a laboratory that tasted "almost" like the real thing and cost as much as a Rolls-Royce.
It is animal protein all right, fried in butter no less, not one of those concoctions of soy, brown rice, black beans or quinoa the vegetarians turn to for their burger fix. My daughter and I quite innocently found ourselves in a Winnipeg restaurant specializing in those creations lately. Vegetarians we are not, but our meal was really quite tasty.
Related Items
As a matter of fact, I felt pretty good afterwards, instead of feeling like I'd swallowed a bowling ball. I enjoy a good beef burger as much as the next carnivore. But portion sizes in the fast-food business are way out of whack with my aging constitution. Go figure.
What I don't understand is why the cooks felt they needed to make strips made from some non-meat ingredients look like bacon, soy slices look like cheese or the chickpea patties look like meat. It didn't fool us. What was wrong with portraying it as -- I don't know -- gourmet chickpeas with a side of salty bits and soy?
Also interesting was that it cost about twice as much as one of those "value meal" burgers we could have bought down the street, when chickpeas, even mashed ones with spices, cost a lot less to grow, transport and process than beef.
That brings me back to the saving-the-planet hullabaloo the $330,000 burger produced from stem cells harvested from a cow's shoulder is getting. The pundits are positively salivating about this technology's potential to reduce agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions and feed a world that is evermore hungry for meat.
Several have cited a 2011 University of Oxford study that said cultured meat could potentially be produced with up to 96 per cent lower greenhouse gas emissions, 45 per cent less energy, 99 per cent lower land use and 96 per cent lower water use than conventional meat.
With as much as 70 per cent of current agricultural capacity going into producing meat through livestock, that land could be converted back to forest and prairie or switched over to grain production for human consumption, the well-known scribe Gwynne Dyer writes in a recent column.
Now find me one example where land currently in agricultural production, which is largely a function of private enterprise, was voluntarily turned back to the coyotes when there was still a buck to be made by farming it. That's not human nature. It's more likely to mean more grain for ethanol to feed those gas-guzzling SUVs.
There are vast swathes of land across the Canadian Prairies that are only suited for forage production. We've tried before to turn land meant for grazing into annual crop production. It didn't go well. And if it isn't cattle consuming those forages, it would be some other gassy ruminant. That's how nature works.
Those grasses transform the sun's energy into protein. Grazing livestock serves a valuable purpose of converting that protein into something humans can digest while recycling much-needed nutrients. It should be valued as such.
We run into trouble with energy efficiency, greenhouse gasses, animal welfare, nutrition and food safety when we put four-legged energy converters into feedlots and start feeding them grain that's been grown somewhere else -- and then haul the manure out and pile it someplace where it contaminates instead of nourishes.
And we do all that so we can make burgers cheap.
My point is, I think we're cosying up to the wrong premise when it comes to saving the planet with fabricated burgers, even if they get the taste up and the cost down. This approach only perpetuates the notion that everyone in the whole wide world should be eating burgers like we do, even though medical professionals say we'd all be healthier if we treated them as a luxury instead of a mainstay. Or that technology will somehow spare us the tough choices that lie ahead as population growth, increasing wealth and our insatiable consumerism overwhelms the Earth's limited resources. Dream on.
The only thing that will save the planet is changing human attitudes and actions.

Dell Streak 7 To Arrive on T-Mobile Feb. 2 for $200: Report
Dell Streak 7 To Arrive on T-Mobile Feb. 2 for $200: Report
Michelle Maisto
Posted 2011-01-31
The 4G-enabled Dell Streak 7 tablet will reportedly arrive on the T-Mobile network Feb. 2 for $200, or for $450 without a contract.
The 7-inch Dell Streak will be available on the T-Mobile network starting Feb. 2, according to a report from
. It'll reportedly be priced at $200 with a two-year contract (and after a $50 rebate) or $450 without a contract and for use with a prepaid data plan. "As tablets change the way we consume content, T-Mobile's combination of 4G speeds, breadth of our 4G network, our affordable data plans and compelling new products like the Streak 7 place us in a position to offer the best experience and value for our customers," Cole Brodman, CMO of T-Mobile USA, said in a Jan. 6 statement, when the wireless provider and Dell introduced the Streak 7 at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.
The Streak 7 measures 7.87 x 4.72 x 0.49 inches and features, as the name implies, a 7-inch WVGA touch-screen display with Gorilla Glass (like the iPhone 4 and other smartphones use). At this popular size, it's likely to give Dell a second swing at the tablet market, after the lukewarm reception of its original Streak. That device featured a 5-inch display-as well as cellular connectivity, unlike most of its tablet competitors-and was roundly criticized as being too small for popular tablet purposes but too big for use as a smartphone.
The Streak 7 comes packed with features that, as has been well documented, are missing from the Apple iPad (which is the clear device to beat, and accounted for 75 percent of all tablet sales during the fourth quarter of 2010). Specifically, the Streak 7 supports Adobe's Flash player, has an SD card slot for expanding the device's memory and features two cameras, a rear-facing 5-megapixel model and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel for video chatting. The latter is further facilitated with the integration of a Qik Video Chat application, which lets users place video calls over T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ (Evolved High-Speed Packet Access) network or WiFi, and additionally enables users to include the view from the tablet's rear-facing camera in their video call, if desired. The Streak 7 runs Android 2.2, known as "Froyo," plus a 1GHz, dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. It supports Microsoft Exchange e-mail, contacts and calendar, as well as Short Message Service and Multimedia Messaging Service and a Swype virtual keyboard, which is said to make for quicker text input. It comes with 16GB of internal memory, and its SD card slot can support up 32GB more. In early November, T-Mobile began advertising that its 4G network, which is based on HSPA+ technology, offers speeds that are competitive with WiMAX and LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks. Still, on Jan. 7, the carrier announced that it will speed things up even more, with its HSPA+ network download speeds planned to soon increase to 42M bps, double what it previously advertised.
The carrier, which has had to compete with the iPhone-offering AT&T, as well as Verizon's coming launch of an iPhone 4, has seen customer growth slow over the last few years. Looking to turn things around, T-Mobile USA CEO
Philipp Humm told members of the press
during a Jan. 20 presentation in New York that T-Mobile plans to offer the "best" data plan and the "best" fourth-generation network. The Dell Streak 7 is part of T-Mobile's expanding portfolio of 4G-enabled devices, which include the myTouch 4G and T-Mobile G2, both of which also run the Android operating system.

So I heard this song in a commercial I think or either on the radio and thought it was pretty catchy and never thought any more about it. Then I happened to be rolling through the stations and stumbled across a MUSIC VIDEO (yes, they still show those on VH1 of all places). And it was Gary Clark Jr. signing that song I heard. I'm very late on this one, he was on the Tonight Show and I didn't even know about it

Our beef industry needs better cut
What's known as the fall calf run is starting a little earlier than usual in Manitoba this year as ranchers move to take some of the grazing pressure off pastures that by now badly need rain.
For most cattle producers in this province, their stake in the steak business ends at the local auction mart. Spring calves are weaned from their mothers and sold either direct to the feedlot operators in Alberta or the United States, or through a network of auctions at which buyers assemble truckloads.
While the animals nowadays are tagged to track their passage through the system from birth to the slaughterhouse, the only time that's put to use is when tracing the origins of a food-safety or animal-health problem. Typically, none of the information about how that calf was raised travels forward and no information on how the animal graded is passed back.
In fact, it's hard for producers to meet market demands because industry and consumers don't always want the same thing.
At a time when consumers are demonstrating they want something different by increasingly buying less beef, the industry remains focused on pumping out as much of it as it can at the lowest cost possible.
And rather than focusing on developing high-value export and domestic markets willing to pay a premium for beef produced according to consumer preferences, Canada's beef industry seems content to backfill the U.S. market while that country exports its own beef to the premium markets.
Canada's beef sector is gradually going bust in the process.
That's the gist of the latest report from the Canadian Agricultural Policy Institute, a think-tank created by the federal government in 2004 to focus on mid- to long-term issues in agriculture.
"Canada's beef sector has a choice," says CAPI president David McInnes in a release. "Remain primarily a commodity beef player or strive to be more of a value-added supplier driven by consumer demand."
Some of the industry's old-timers such as Charlie Gracey, the former executive vice-president of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, have been saying much the same for years. The country's expanding beef production after grain export subsidies were eliminated in the mid-1990s did not coincide with a marketing strategy that looked beyond the United States.
As a result, 85 per cent of the cattle and beef exported from Canada still goes south. Meanwhile the U.S. is recording triple-digit export growth to parts of the world, such as Asia, where demand for beef is growing.
Even worse, "after processing south of the border, higher-value beef is then exported back to Canada," McInnes says. "In 2011, our exports of beef to the U.S. averaged $3.74 a kilogram, whereas average beef imports from the U.S. were $6.55 a kilogram."
The result? Canada is at risk of becoming a net importer of beef from the U.S. Our national herd size has dropped 20 per cent since 2005 and consumer demand for beef in this country has dropped 10 per cent in the past decade.
"A new strategy, centred around collaboration, is needed," McInnes says, starting with sharing information throughout the value chain.
"From producers to retailers, each beef supply chain needs to better utilize and share information on beef performance, grade and yield, market characteristics and consumer preferences.
"Consumer expectations are rising. People want to know more about the origin of the beef they eat, what the cattle were fed and whether antibiotics were used, among other concerns. Canada's reputation for safety, care and quality is salable and we need to fully exploit these aspects," McInnes says.
Canada's food safety system is far from perfect, as illustrated by the unfolding E. coli outbreak at one of Canada's largest processing plants, but it remains among the best in the world. There is a corps of producers here who are not only knowledgeable, but marketable as part of the beef story. Those pastoral scenes you see from the roadside of cattle contentedly grazing in the open air and sunshine aren't just there for show. They play an integral role in converting the sun's energy into usable protein for humans.
The ingredients for a made-in-Canada export success story are there. What's needed is a recipe for making it happen.

The Count of Monte Cristo

Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas's thrilling adventure story is one of the most widely read romantic novels of all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond Dantès, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown into a secret dungeon in the Chateau d'If -- doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue and paints a vision of France -- a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France -- that has become immortal.
Lorenzo Carcaterra is the author of five books, A Safe Place, Sleepers, Apaches, Gangster, and the forthcoming Street Boys. He has also written scripts for movies and television. He lives in New York.
"Dumas was... a summit of art. Nobody ever could, or did, or will improve upon Dumas's romances and plays." -- George Bernard Shaw

Game 1: Phillip Phillips, American Idol winner http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?co...46071&c_id=mlb
Game 2: Matthew Morrison, Glee actor Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | WS2012 Gm2: 'Glee' star Morrison sings anthem - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
Game 3: Zooey Deschanel, New Girl actress Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | WS2012 Gm3: Zooey Deschanel sings the national anthem - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
Game 4: Demi Lovato, X-Factor judge Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | WS2012 Gm4: Demi Lovato sings the national anthem - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
1. Who sang it best?
2. Detroit's own Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, was scheduled to sing for Game 5. Besides her, the others were all stars of Fox shows. Would you call this acceptable draw-in-an-audience scheduling, abuse of network power, or something else?
3. Is our National Anthem an appropriate venue for show-off theatrics, or should singers stick to the original tune & pacing?
Last edited by Spacers; 10-29-2012 at 02:53 PM.
In order, Matthew Morrison, Phillip Phillips, Zooey Deschanel, Demi Lovado. Matthew was powerful, on key, not too slow, not fancy, just sang it the way it was written. Demi at the other end was too flowery and showed too much personal influence on the song. I'm all for singers putting their own unique sound on an anthem, but I don't think singing an anthem is the right time or place to show off their vocal acrobatics. I posted about this re Christina Aguilera singing the national anthem (I can't remember at what sporting event though). It was like 'damn girl, tone it down. We all know you have awesome pipes.'
1. I think Matthew was best and he came very close to nailing it; he faltered a bit at one point but not enough to be a real fault. Philip without the guitar would have been great; the fact that you can pick a few notes doesn't mean you should do it during the National Anthem, especially since the guitar didn't seem to change chords when he did. Zooey was pretty good but she needs to work on her breath control; you could barely hear her on the low notes, and it drives me batty when singers take a breath in the middle of "and the rockets red glare." Demi was hideous, too flowery and often off-key.
2. Abuse of power. Detroit and San Francisco both have a long history of putting out great music. Showcase the local talent. There was so much trash talk about our garlic fries and clam chowder sourdough bowls, what about a kick-*** music showdown? I give you Pat Monahan of Train, Huey Lewis & The News, and the Grateful Dead (would it be that hard to bring Jerry Garcia back from the dead?) for starters.
3. I'm fine with holding a high note for a little longer, and I'm fine with singing it faster or slower, but don't mess around with it too much. Even Whitney Houston played it straight and it was all the better for her restraint, kwim?

No bell boy, which meant that after a 3 hour trip by train lugging our luggage around we were not greeted at the entrance with assistance, they provided carts to move luggage into the hotel, and when we asked to have the luggage moved up to our room it was met with resistance as the girl who checked us in had to follow us up to our room. Staff tried to speak English but to be honest they didn't try very hard. During our stay we asked if they had an AC adaptor for us to charge our phones, they offered an adaptor for sale, that specifically said not for Japan usage but trying to explain this was far too hard, we ended up just going to the store & purchased one that was twice as expensive but had piece of mind that it worked. I know that these are small and may seem insignificant but after the exemplary experience we received all over Japan, we were quite shocked & underwhelmed about treatment we received here. In saying that the rooms were comfortable, well located and facilities and amenities were clean and convenient, though not the best experience but if we were to experience this anywhere else in the world it probably wouldn't have phased us in the slightest.

The question on the ballot:

I'm hoping to go for food and wine arond 3:30 this week. If there's no room, where else (close by) might be a good second choice ?
(Lou's would be my first, second choice if they were open.)
Would The 3rd Stop be good for food, as a second choice ? ?
3rd Stop does not have a good wine selection...they do have a lot of interesting beers though and the isn't bad. What about Bin 8945? AOC?
0 -
If you look at the website for Lou, you'll see that it's not open until 6pm.
AOC is also not open until 6pm on weekdays.
The Little Next Door has wine and food, and might be a nice choice.

Appropriate wood finish inside old barn?
I have recently finished construction on a new/old barn. The barn is built with post and beam construction and while it isn't an antique now it will be around for a good 200 years! While the inside of the barn is highly functional and will be used for horses on a daily basis I'm trying to still keep it "barn like" as opposed to the now popular Barn McMansion.
Inside the tackroom (which is weatherproof) as well as half way up the wall down the center aisle (which is protected from the elements but not "inside" so to speak) is tongue and grove, kiln dried, white oak paneling. I was getting ready to stain it with your basic wood stain when my lumber guy happen to suggest I look into putting an oil finish on the wood instead. He thought it would be more of an "old barn look as that's what farmers of yesteryear would have done."
Any thoughts on that comment? I like the look of linseed oil on a sample piece but was wondering as to the practicality of it. It won't be rained on but it is going to be, well, a barn, as in things will occasionally bump into or scratch the walls. Is linseed my best oil option?
I've used linseed oil many times on an old house & highly recommend it. It's a penetrating oil that dries in the wood so there's nothing to chip or flake if it gets bumped. If the wood gets scratched, simply touch up with more oil. It must be applied to raw wood.
You are talking about BOILED linseed, right? RAW linseed never hardens & is usually used in marine & exterior applications where it remains tacky. HTH
The interior of our barn is paneled with tongue and groove pine but it was never stained or finished. Its probably been up for about 40 or 50 years and has a nice patina. The barn was used as the office and sales/storage for an apple orchard. i don't know if having horses in the barn might require some kind of stain or sealer on the paneling.
My 175 y.o working farm barns (cattle and draft oxen and horses) were always white-washed inside, (even the few places where oak was used) in any area where animals were housed. This was a way to make them easy to care for and keep clean looking (because manure, um, happens!) plus it was believed to discourage flies and mud-wasp nests. White wash is just a slurry of hydrated lime and water, but I doubt you'd want to cover new white oak with it. Personally, I like the look of the silver-grey of old white oak that's exposed to air.
I would have some trepidation about using boiled linseed oil given its recent implication in mold growth. If I wanted to use linseed oil, I would use the cleaned linseed from Allback Paints. (I have some test patches of that up on the outside of my outhouse and it seems to be doing well after about a year.)
My barn interior has a mix of board siding and plywood sheets lining the stalls, and looked like a junky mess before it was painted. I liked the idea of painting everything white, but the outside of the barn is dark red with tan trim and dark blue doors. White seemed too stark.
So I painted the interior walls a light mushroom tan color, using leftover house paint. I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked, very clean and almost elegant. A freshly painted horse stall is pretty swank, let me tell you. Of course, the animals have dirtied the walls up since then, but they still look much better than the old raw wood did.
I don't know if you're still checking this thread, but if you haven't yet made a decision, you might want to look at Waterlox. I think you can apply it over linseed oil, but you might want to check with the manufacturer -- they're great about answering questions if you give them a call. (No affiliation. I used Waterlox on my floor and ended up making several phone calls.) You might also check with them as to whether the usual horse-related chemical aerosols (fly spray, ShowSheen, clipper lube, etc.) will ruin the finish.
BTW, I love the "Barn McMansion" term. LOL And is this the subk from COTH?
I've been in tons of barns over the years and I think most of them were either raw wood with natural "patina" (patina = all sorts of stuff accumulated on the wood after years of horse occupation) or whitewash. But I'll bet your white oak would look fantastic with a finish that would accentuate the grain.

I know for moms with older toddlers, you will probably read this and think things like who cares, or oh honey, that's nothing. But you know how it is – try to remember. When you're new at this, every new development and milestone (if you can call this that) feels like a big deal. I remember obsessing over the tiniest things when Cullen was 6, 7, 8 months old. Now I look back and wonder why I those were such a big deal. So even though I know this will feel like nothing in a few months, it feels big right now.
I looked over a few days ago and Cullen was sitting on the couch. How he got there was a mystery to me, but my heart skipped a beat when I pictured him falling off and conking his head on the wooden coffee table. A few hours later, I caught him in action. Throwing his leg up and over, pulling and grasping with those little muscles, and eventually wiggling his way up onto the seat. What was even more exciting was what came next. I watched him turn over onto his belly and slither back down – safely!
He's 16 months old today, and I've noticed big changes this month in his spatial awareness. He's handling the steps like a champ, scaling the climbing gym at the playground with ease, and now, getting on and off the couch like a true toddler. He seems to finally understand that he can fall off of things, and uses caution around steps and edges – a big relief to his parents!
Up until now, he's been very mobile and active, but not much of a climber. I've been wanting to get him a little table and chair set, and it sounds like now might be the right time. My biggest fear — what comes next? Please don't say it's climbing out of the crib. We are definitely not ready for that!
Check him out in action…
