Loon advocates renew call for lead fishing jigs ban
Opponents to the legislation, including several state and national bass fishing groups, describe the bill as virtually identical to one tabled by legislators in 2012, and say it should be defeated again.
The Loon Preservation Committee and the New Hampshire Lakes Association are backing Senate Bill 89, which would prohibit the use and sale of toxic lead fishing tackle and ban sinkers and jigs weighing one ounce or less, which the loon committee claims is the largest known cause of New Hampshire adult loon mortality.
The bill, which has passed the Senate and will soon come before the House, would take effect in 2015, giving anglers time to find non-lead tackle, which is widely available, said Tom O'Brien of the lakes association.
From 1989 to 2011, 124 adult loons were killed by lead fishing tackle on state water bodies, and lead tackle remains a daily threat to adult loons, according to attorney Sheridan Brown, a consultant to the loon committee.
The committee, which has built a network of 1,500 members and volunteers dedicated to safeguarding loons and other threatened and endangered species since it was formed in 1975, said the laws need to be changed.
Backers of the legislation are hopeful it will pass, saying legislators seem more informed about the bill this year, though again the state's Fish and Game Commission is not supporting it.
Opponents of the bill say they have evidence showing that loons are not as heavily affected by lead fishing tackle as the loon committee claims.
"To us, the scientific studies show the loons are picking up smaller stuff that has lead in it, nothing near the size of a jig," said Dick Smith of the New Hampshire Bass Federation.
Smith said a prohibition on lead jigs would affect more than 230,000 fishing enthusiasts every year in the state.
"From what we understand, the loon population is fairly stable," Smith said. "Even if they are right and a few loons get killed, our concerns should be with those who want to fish in our state."

TORONTO -- Before bullets flew, the taunts exploded.
"I heard a voice shouting: 'Canada boy, tonight you die!"' Korean War veteran Ed Mastronardi says, recalling the night of Nov. 2, 1951, in the new History special 28 Heroes.
"And I shouted back: 'Come and get it! As it turned out it was a full attack. And I had 28 men."
Director Paul Kilback says the battle of Song-gok Spur -- which saw a small Canadian platoon fight a battalion of 800 Chinese soldiers -- is a little-known conflict from Canada's forgotten war that should be recognized.
"It always struck me that it's not in any of the history books," Kilback says of the extraordinary battle, in which Mastronardi's unit fought against all odds to maintain a key outpost in the face of repeated Communist attacks.
"Even for the people who do know about (the Korean War), Kapyong is the big thing or it's Hill 355 and never have I seen anything but a paragraph about this action."
Kilback came across the story while working on another documentary about the Korean War that introduced him to Mastronardi.
He returned to Mastronardi years later to do 28 Heroes, which creates a moment-by-moment portrait of a relentless assault that haunts the former lieutenant to this day.
In the special, the white-haired Ottawa resident pauses as he looks over a tattered sepia-tinged photo he recovered from one of the Chinese soldiers he shot. Depicted are two men in uniform, staring straight into the camera.
"I keep it just to remind me," he says. "There's two sides to the war."
Although eager to tell his story, Mastronardi seemed to have difficulty relaying that heart-rending anecdote, says Kilback, who spent about four hours with him and three hours with another veteran, Red Butler.
"You know, he's proud of what he did, he's proud he served his country and he's a very proud man about being a good soldier and keeping his men alive, but I think he also struggles with the fact that he killed people as part of it," says Kilback.
"It was his job, and he knew it was his job and he did it well, he did it efficiently, but you can tell that he has some regrets in that sense. That these are not just some faceless enemies, 'This is actually another human being who is there for the same reason I'm there, they're just protecting their home and their family. And I killed them.'"
The documentary includes an interview with Chinese company commander Li Yinjun, who Kilback says was just as eager to share his story.
"He was very proud of what he did, he believed in what they were fighting for, he continues to to this day," says Kilback.
"It's interesting how different but how the same they can all be. And that's why we felt it was important that we had at least a Chinese perspective onto what it's like to fight in Korea."
The battle killed hundreds of Chinese soldiers, and just one of the Canadian defenders. About half of the Canadians were wounded.
The incredible story is not widely known, says Kilback, in large part because for many years the general public seemed to express little interest in learning the ugly details of Canada's third deadliest conflict.
"It wasn't the kind of war like World War II where you came back to parades and victory. There wasn't a lot in the news ever about it, nobody really ever knew why anybody was fighting there. And it's such a complicated, political war -- there's no kind of 'good' or 'bad,' it wasn't easy to define," Kilback says of the war, which began June 25, 1950, when the military forces of North Korea crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea.
"It really kind of fell off everybody's radar. So these guys don't think anybody wants to hear about it. I always find that incredible, that they've never spoken about these events before."
More than 26,000 Canadians served in the three-year war, and of those, 516 Canadians died in service, according to Veterans Affairs.
Kilback had trouble tracking down survivors from the battle of Song-gok Spur. But he was surprised to suddenly be contacted by Butler, who was a private at the time of the conflict.
The Manitoulin Island resident caught wind of the project through the Royal Canadian Regiment and said he had photos to share.
"We're like, 'Are you crazy? You were there? We need to talk to you!'" says Kilback, who shot the doc's dramatic recreations at CFB Meaford near Owen Sound, Ont., using actual Canadian soldiers as his actors.
"We were about to finish editing the film and then we found him and then I re-edited the film once I found him."
Kilback says it's important to get these war stories on the record before it's too late. He notes that fewer and fewer veterans are around to share their experiences, recalling feelings of dismay when tracking down real-life tales for Greatest Tank Battles.
"As I would go through production, every couple months I'd get, 'So-and-so's passed away.' They pass away constantly now so it's like those stories are being lost forever."
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, and the Canadian government has declared 2013 the Year of the Korean War Veteran.
Also debuting on History this weekend is the documentary Sector Sarajevo on Sunday, which recounts a brutal Canadian peacekeeping mission to Sarajevo in July 1992. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Canadians were sent into a volatile war zone where they managed to secure the airport and bring in aid. Under constant fire, they endured snipers' bullets and standoffs with warlords, eventually breaking the rules of peacekeeping by fighting back.

To find the answers to the Martin Place siege, we need to remain calm, retain perspective and embrace all sections of the community to help ensure we can all go about our everyday lives free of fear.

Vienna in January - rustic, traditional places, non-smoking a plus
Brezlgwölb: Nice if you happen to be in the area, but nothing special.
Actually there are quite a few as interesting places in the same spot:
Bodega Marquez, an authentic tapas bar
Ofenloch: maybe very similar to Brezlgwölb.
Zum Finsteren Stern
Vienna in January - rustic, traditional places, non-smoking a plus
Most places on your list fit your description.
The only place I would avoid is Weisser Rauchfangkehrer, this place is more of a tourist trap than any other place in town.
Within your walking range from St.Ulrich I would recommend the Glacisbeisl,
and for regional Italian there are two places not to be missed:
and Cantina Osteria Friulana on Bartensteingasse:
Croatian seafood is a great idea, you can have the high end:
and the lower end:
And there are many more rustic places offering Austrian food:
Gasthaus Meixner
Gasthaus Heidinger
These 3 are not as centrally located but offer the real thing...
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
And here some more info about this quite interesting winery:
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
This apple in a bag called "apple to go" has its own little story: the company formerly know as "Apple Computer" actually sued the owner and operator of the "apple to go" company, but finally had to admit that an apple could be called an apple…
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
The Viennese usually tip 5 to 10%, and 10% is for real excellent, outgoing service !! And please keep in mind: this is just a tip, a 10% service charge is included in every single item on the menu anyway!
If you have the feeling that the waiters expect more than 10%: You maybe made the mistake of giving the - maybe correct - impression that you are "just another bloody American tourist who is used to give a 20% tip back home" …
And yes, waiters are quite used to foreign speaking tourists, and English is the least problem for most of them, when the majority of tourists is speaking Chinese, Japanese or Russian. So do not feel you have to tip them more than 10% just because you got some translation of the menu.
BTW: many places, even very simple ones, do have an english-language menu !
P.S.: Here in Vienna we usually tip around 5% for bills of 100+ Euro, even in places were we are regulars. For sums between 10 and 50 Euro we tip about one euro per guest.
Here is even an "official source" for my rules of tipping:
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
Since you stay in the Landstrasse area you could make it to Rochusmarkt. Open on Saturday until 5 p.m.
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
Yes, Brunnenmarkt is interesting !
It is indeed the only market we visit regularly, but only on saturdays when the farmers are having their weekly market on Yppenplatz. During the week there are only the regulars, who have each the same variation of inexpensive fruit and vegetables. On Saturdays there are several farmers presenting their organic food as well as jams, cakes and pastries, but also interesting ethnic food from Hungary, such as sausages made from mangalitza pork and interesting pickles. There is also a bakery from Waldviertel and a great Swiss cheese stand. Open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Regarding restaurants there are several turkish places, Restaurant Kent being the best known traditional one (great stuffed cabbage, great lamb roast, wonderful plates of starters), And Do-An the high-end seafood place, and two excellent Italian places, the La Salvia delicatessen and Cucina Wetter. We are regulars at Kent and at Wetter, who offers a pure Ligurian cuisine …
Regarding Stammersdorf. Just try their excellent webpage, which shows exactly who is open on a given day:
Zum Schwarzen Kameel and Gasthaus Pöschl are the only ones right in the city center, the others (Rudi´s, Gmoakeller and Woraczicky) are not within walking distance of the main tourist attractions.
You need reservations for Gasthaus Pöschl and Rudi´s Beisl for lunch, both are usually heavily booked. But Pöschl does not close during the afternoon hours, so you might have a late lunch after 2:30 p.m. without any reservation ! Also on Sunday !!
And your hotel, the guesthouse Vienna, also has a nice restaurant, definitely worth to stay for lunch !
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
If you are interested in the agricultural parts of Vienna I would recommend to visit the Kellergasse in Stammersdorf, which is one of the few street of wine cellars still in operation like 100 years ago. On a sunny Saturday afternoon you might find that several of the cellars are open and offer snacks and heurigen wine in a simple garden setup. Wieniger and Göbel are the major players, but there are many more and much smaller winegrowers…
Depending on when you come you might also visit the pumpkin farmers in the Wienerwald area or the asparagus growers in Raasdorf…
Trip Report: PRAGUE, VIENNA, BUDAPEST (LONG!)
The Sachertorte is made without any alterations to the recipe since almost 200 years. It was made popular in the 1870s, but was available in similar forms since the early 1700s…
What has changed is eating habits !
Traditionally Sachertorte is also served with whipped cream. Getting a piece of cake with some topping of whipped cream into your mouth makes the cake richer and increases the taste of chocolate. But nowadays everybody is afraid of fat and avoids the whipped cream…
The same might be true for the "bland" Apfelstrudel you had at Demels. Apfelstrudel is also always served with whipped cream or hot vanilla sauce, and this additions enhacne the taste very much.
The oversweet plum compote you got with your Kaiserschmarrn is another story. The correct name for this "plum sauce" is "Zwetschkenröster", and it should definitely not be too sweet, but rather have a rich fruity plum taste.

Ctd: Are you aware that the complete city inside the Ringstrasse and beyond will be a giant free ballroom at NYE ??
There will be hundred thousands of people in the street, there will be music of all kind, and food and drink kiosks galore. Especially Italians come to Vienna to celebrate NYE in the streets, and boy, these people know how to celebrate with lot of fun !! The only problem: despite strong laws against people still like to throw firecrackers...
There will also be a lot of special NYE menues in the restaurants, and some might even be enjoyable, although quite pricey. It might be of interest to choose one of the rooftop places with a view:
The Silvester Ball at Hofburg is a very formal ball. If you like to wear dinner jacket or tuxedo or an evening gown, and if you want to dance Vienna waltz, foxtrot, rumba or cha cha cha, this is where you go.
We have never been to the Silvester Ball at Hofburg, but we have been to Hofburg for other balls, and IMHO Hofburg is a little bit too large for a comfortable setup. I would prefer a smaller scale of ball…
Trip Report: PRAGUE, VIENNA, BUDAPEST (LONG!)
Thank you very much for your extensive report !
Re your experiences in Vienna:
Correct: Serving speed indeed is slow in many places.
Charging for bread not ordered: this is also called a "cover charge". So you pay even if you do not eat a single pice of bread ! BTW: there is no cover charge in Kutschker44, and you have to ask for bread, which of course you will pay for...
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
tiempo nuovo and hartlieb have a few Italian books on a shelf, but are not the same as full blown italian bookshops !
tiempo nuovo - as the name implies - also stresses the spanish more than the italian, and there are even "pure" spanish bookshops in town…
Still, they might be worth a visit, both being great shops nevertheless !!
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
Tian Bistro is a vegetarian museum cafeteria, operated by Tian, the premium veggie place in Vienna.
Hollerei, OTOH, is by itself a great vegetarian place, and not inside a museum, which should be an advantage concerning food quality and service.
Have not been at the rest of you list, but a web search raised my interest only for Corbaci, which has a lot of local competition and should therefore offer something eatable…
BTW: your impression about Cafe Sabarsky is quite correct, and may apply to most of the museum cafeterias. My recommendation for Cafe Leopold and Do&Co Albertina is therefore also meant to point out that these are less museum cafeteria and more of a place to feel comfortable..
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
Just checked again: the new bar at Mariahilferstrasse is still smoke free !
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
Wein & Co tried to get smoke-free, but had to start smoking again, after their customers stayed away…
And the Sacher Blue Room is not the only smoke-free hotel bar in town !! The new Pearl bar in the Park Hyatt also is smoke free, but they have a cigar lounge next to the bar: http://www.vienna.park.hyatt.com/en/h...
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
I found something which might be of interest for you: here is a website AND iPhone App which presents a map and list of all smoke-free cafes and restaurants in Vienna: http://da.stinkts.net/rauchfreie-loka...
Vienna help please. Some atypical questions...
1) I would like to buy an Italian-language book of pastry recipes for an Italian friend.
Try amazon.it
2) Smoking policies in Vienna are the business of the Viennese but I am nonetheless hoping to find a top notch wine bar/vinothek in the city that is completely smoke-free.
No. All bars are smoking only.
3) Is the branch of Trzesniewski in the Rochusmarkt as good as the main one?
Yes. And no, not all their canapés have egg salad on top.
4) Do Viennese actually eat Kaiser rolls?
Yes, they do. And here it is not calles Kaisersemmel, since all rolls are of this type. You might have a machine made or a hand made...
4) Doing research on this board I saw comments that the restaurants in the museums are good choices.
Albertina: Do&Co Albertina: high-end lounge type restaurant. Viennese and Japanese cuisine.
5) Sturm and schnapps: Is October a good time to drink sturm?
Well, actually September is better, but October you will still get Sturm at Urbanek in Naschmarkt " He has Sturm all year round…
Schnapps: I do not like schnapps either. OTOH, there is a large number of high-end schnapps burners around. The best are the ones from Rochelt, available at Vinothek St.Stephan, right in the center of town.
Memorable meal in late November, anywhere in Europe?
What is "great weather" ?
In November there might be a lot of sun, a little bit of rain and some early snowfall. Actually quite charming when experienced with the right waterproof outfit. And yes, November is also quite some kind of "high season": the feast of St.Martin on November 11 is celebrated not only on this day, but all through November, and the main point of this feast is the meeting in restaurants to share in the pleasure of consuming huge servings of 1. roast goose with red cabbage and potatoe dumplings and 2. the new young white wine (not yet "Heurigen" but "Staubiger", because it is bottled before filtration, and appers "dusty").
And yes, Landhaus Bacher is most likely one of the best addresses to have roast goose, but please phone in in advance for this special request, the servings of roast goose usually are strictly limited and have to be reserved in advance...
Vienna restaurant recommendations
What about Zum Finsteren Stern ?http://gaultmillau.at/guides/restaura...
And Do&Co Albertina ?
And the Le Ciel at the Grand Hotel was always a great choice for dining as well...
Vienna "gastro" Beisels/Gasthauses?
No, they do not offer a detailed online menu. This would be uncool...
Expect Viennese standards such as Rindsgulasch, "Schweinswiener" and Kalbsbeuschl, as well as more demanding items such as brain or testicles (when in season). Wolf always has a few vegetarian dishes, and great desserts !! Zwetschkenknödel should now be in season…
Wolf also has a great wine list by the glass, and is heavily booked every day.
BTW: Another place fitting the "gastropub" category is Zum Finsteren Stern.
Vienna "gastro" Beisels/Gasthauses?
The best and only "gastro pubs" in Vienna definitely are Gasthaus Wolf and Freyenstein: http://www.gasthauswolf.at
There are several others which want to fit that category, but I would call none of them "elevated by technique":
Actually most of their bread is made with sourdough !
There are several types of bakeries:
A very special niche is the one found by Schrammel: they have a shop in 4., Paniglgasse, and they sell in supermarkets as well, and have real great bread: http://schrammel-brot-wien.at/verkauf...
There are quite a few "new style" bakeries, two are the most prominent:
We always buy at Mühlenbrot and Joseph.
And there are bakery chains:
And these are not that bad at all, Schwarz is maybe the best of these, but you will taste the difference, once you had a piece of Joseph…
And yes, there is also "organic" bread, for the hard-core few:
And if you are looking for a real gem, try this bakery (no website):
And there are also quite a few Turkish bakeries, which offer Turkish and Austrian bread. You find them in residential areas, and one of their advantages: they open on sundays !
A Weekday Celebratory Lunch in Vienna
Depending on the size of your party you could contact Steirereck and define a menu which would fit the taste of all attending the party ! For larger groups this is a standard procedure in order to alleviate ordering and service. The ambiente would be perfect for an 80th birthday lunch, no question...
A Weekday Celebratory Lunch in Vienna
Why not Kussmaul ?
Open recently on a very venerable location on Spittelberg. Today it was completely booked, even without outdoor service, and all the the other - lower cost and lower standard - restaurants in the street were empty.
We just had dinner there: a very busy and modern ambiente, two small rooms, one close to the bar, the other a veranda. Great food, you may eat a la carte, or have a 4, 6 or 8 course tasting menu. Very young local clientele, great service. And not as expensive as Steiereck. We had four 4 course menues, and really enjoyed the meal. With aperitifs, coffee with spirits and 3 bottles of wine we paid € 350 without tip.
But for a celebration I really recommend something more formal. A great location is the new The Bank at the Park Hyatt Vienna: you eat in large bank hall of the fin-de-siecle, ample space between tables, great service, classic food with a modern twist.
One night in Vienna...where to eat?
Steirereck recently reopened after heavy renovation and redecoration. The do now NOT have any outdoor seating places, but rather have many large and removable windows, so that some of the tables are located near a large, sometimes open, window, some not...
You might ask for a window seating, and the window will be open, when the weather permits.
One night in Vienna...where to eat?
Hello Kurtis,
Zum Schwarzem Kameel actually would be a great counterpoint to Pöschl, its ambiente being maybe the most original and interesting fin-de-siecle restaurant interior in town. If your require some vegetarian dishes, it should be no problem if you ask for it when making the reservation. This place has a large kitchen and should be able to fill every request !!
I really have to admit that you have made your homework, and this will be a great day in Vienna !!

Actor James McAvoy (Atonement, Wanted) has reportedly turned down a role (and one hefty paycheck) to prepare for the biggest role of his life: becoming a dad. According the U.K.'s Telegraph, McAvoy, 30, has pulled out of the film I'm With Cancer because the timing of the shoot (which began this week in Canada) may have interfered with the birth of his first child.
McAvoy and his wife, 39-year-old actress Ann-Marie Duff (The Last Station) are expecting the arrival of their first child very soon. A friend of McAvoy's told the Telegraph, "James wants to be there when his baby's born."
McAvoy's decision to bail on the project reportedly cost the Scottish actor a pretty penny. The role allegedly would have paid a "seven-figure sum." What a dilemma, but what a noble choice!
McAvoy's Cancer castmate and producer, Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), had this to say: "It's incredibly unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone's control have taken James away from the project. We all look forward to working with James in the future."
In light of McAvoy's departure, (500) Days of Summer star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has stepped in to take over the role in the comedy, according to EW.com. The film also stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, and recent Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air).

Interview: Stephen Tobolowsky on the state of The Tobolowsky Files
(Reminder: I'm on vacation this week, but transcribed a few press tour interviews to keep the blog from going totally dark while I'm gone. I'll be back after Labor Day.)
In my Nick Offerman interview, I lamented that one of the downsides to a press tour party where a broadcast network invites the stars of its affiliated cable channels is that in a small and/or dark space, it can make the party all but impossible to work in. In a good space, though, it can give the party a very eclectic feel, one where there's someone unexpected and interesting to talk to around every corner. The combined CBS/CW/Showtime party at the latest tour was one of those, held in an outdoor space on a nice night, where even though I had a list of the actors scheduled to be there I still kept being surprised by who I bumped into.
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the night was realizing I was standing at the bar next to Stephen Tobolowsky, character actor extraordinaire as well as writer and star of one of my favorite podcasts, The Tobolowsky Files, an ongoing audio memoir in which Tobolowsky tells stories from his life - some about showbiz, many not, all of them hilarious or moving in some way. I interviewed Tobolowsky and producer/co-host David Chen last summer, but I was glad to bump into the guy (and to meet his wife Ann, a frequent subject of Tobolowsky Files stories), and to catch up on the state of the podcast, which has had an irregular schedule of late while both Tobolowsky and Chen have been busy.(*)
