GENERAL INTEREST, EXPANDING EARTH

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: tevisdiii@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
SCIENCE FUN
One of the most important things to keep in mind while discussing anything these days is the exponentially expanding cloud of data, information and perspective forced on all of us by technology. Not just the delivery systems, like this email, but the tools and gadgets that pan deep space and its past or micro biomes, or the depths of our oceans. It doesn’t matter where one looks, this outpouring causes us to reconsider many of our long held beliefs, those accepted ideas that underpin our world and help us stay anchored.

The speed and width of this data wave has overrun what is the equivalent of ergonomics; designs scaled to fit a human body. Accepted ideas often had to earn their place, giving humans and all their constructs time to assimilate them. Not now. To consider, research, and embrace even one new concept can be tricky to say the least. We need internal tools to help us not just cut a bowline but rather slip it to another cleat, lest we find ourselves adrift.

Presented in these two short videos is an idea that has been hovering in the wings of earth science for decades but is taking flight because the gadgets and explorations have yielded enough facts to bubble up through the conventional view. In the spirit of expanding ones perspective and consciousness, enjoy these short presentations on the ” Expanding Planet Earth”. Oh yeah, it’s controversial, but then, Galileo would have something to say about controversial concepts, right?

Quick note: Neal Adams, (first short), is a renowned artist, responsible for the early genesis of Marvel and other comics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Adams

The Gate of the Year

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year – “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than any known way.

So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East.  
So heart be still:
What need our little life
,Our human life to know,
If God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife
Of things both high and low,
God hideth His intention.

God knows. His will
Is best. The stretch of years
Which wind ahead, so dim
To our imperfect vision,
Are clear to God. Our fears
Are premature; In Him,
All time hath full provision.

Then rest: until
God moves to lift the veil
From our impatient eyes,
When, as the sweeter features
Of Life’s stern face we hail,
Fair beyond all surmise
God’s thought around His creatures,
Our mind shall fill

Omega masticating juicer/ Nutrition system (NC 800) $100

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: julia_markova@hotmail.com – Click to email about this post
I am selling my masticating juicer / Nutrition system (NC800) for $100.

I originally purchased this from Kitchen in Portland, then it was replaced by the Omega corporation (issue covered by warranty). So, this machine is new to me since 2022. It is in excellent condition (made in Korea). It is taking a large chunk of my small kitchen counter space, however, while I am not juicing much these days. It needs to move on and make an awesome start for 2025 for someone else!

As it is a “nutrition system,” it does a lot more than juice. It makes an “ok” nut butter (I have used it for that), excellent sorbet (that really is fantastic but it is a long time until summer:) and, apparently, pasta (I have never tried that as I do not eat pasta:)).

Please give it some love. I used it yesterday, just for fun and to use up fresh cranberries I had sitting in the fridge – the “in action” picture is from yesterday (cranberry, ginger, apple juice – yum!). The picture with the user manual and extra parts is from today. Most of the extra parts happen to be brand new – as I mentioned, I never used/ tried the pasta making attachments and the juice/ pulp collection bowls are also brand new (I always used my own glass containers).

Here is a link to this machine on Amazon so that you can research it further as you like. https://www.amazon.com/Omega-NC800HDS-Wheatgrass-Masticating-Dual-Stage/dp/B00CIU93TE

NBWC Annual Meeting and Documentary Screening

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: info@nehalemwatershed.org – Click to email about this post
On January 9th, 2025 the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council will be hosting both their Annual Meeting and a screening of their 15 minute documentary featuring the West Fork Coal Creek Instream Wood Placement.

The NBWC’s Annual Meeting will start at 5 pm. The Annual Meeting consists of board elections, selection of board officers, and the Annual Report. All members are welcome to attend to vote in board elections. The Annual Report will be a summary of council activities in 2024 including progress reports on restoration designs, planting projects, and regional collaborations. It’s been a busy year for the council so we hope you’ll come early to learn about what we’ve been up to.

In 2019 residents along West Fork Coal Creek contacted the NBWC with concerns about an area of erosion that was threatening their access road. Executive Director Zac Mallon visited the properties and determined that this was a situation where fish habitat and protecting infrastructure could overlap. So, with support from Troy Laws at ODFW and funding from the Wild Salmon Center, an instream wood placement project was planned for West Fork Coal Creek to both protect vulnerable infrastructure and to improve habitat conditions for the 5 species of salmonids that utilize West Fork Coal Creek. The structures were installed in the summer of 2020.

The documentary is a series of interviews with ED Zac Mallon and with landowners during and immediately after project implementation. It takes the viewer through the experience of having a wood placement on their property including discussions of habitat and infrastructure benefit, connections to natural processes like landslide and windstorms, and the honest experiences of the landowners during and immediately after the project was implemented. This is a great documentary for anyone hoping to learn more about salmon habitat or about the experience of having a wood placement on their own property.

Both the Annual Meeting and the presentation will be hosted on Zoom and are free to the public. The zoom link is tinyurl.com/bdjeckb9 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/nehalembaywc. You can also contact the watershed council at info@nehalemwatershed.org.

Event Information: This event is FREE and open to the public. Find more information on our speaker series and the links for access on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/nehalembaywc).

Time & Agenda:
5:00 PM Board Elections
5:30 PM Annual Report
6:00 PM Documentary Screening
6:15 PM Project Updates
6:30 PM Discussion / Q&A
7:30 PM Adjourn

My friend and gardening partner Nancy May is still looking for her next home. She is staying temporarily with a friend, but must move by February. A small, quiet pet-friendly house or apartment within commuting distance of Cannon Beach will be ideal. She’s a single woman in her seventies (with one cat) who values her privacy. Please let me know if you know of anything that might be suitable. Thank you so much!
