Will Ferrell Eats a Deer Head on Man vs Wild [video]

Last night, Will Ferrell guest-starred on Man vs Wild, where he was dropped in the arctic tundra of Sweden with the show's host Bear Grylls. They spent the night in a self-made snow cave and dined on grilled reindeer eyeballs from the frozen head of a carcass they found along the way, saving the jowls [...]

Oregon State Fair 2010

Stihl Slideshow at the Oregon State Fair

Here's the first Youtube from a concert at the fair. This is ZZ Top performing Sharp Dressed Man. Not bad.

The Oregon State Fair starts today! Yippee! Thanks to some local Tweeters, you can enjoy the fair vicariously from your own computer or smart phone in real time. The following widget is a collection of folks that are walking around the fairgrounds, doing fair stuff, so you don't have to. Actually they're hoping you get so excited reading their tweets, that you rush over there and join them.

Going to the fair in real life can be a lot of fun too. Just be careful because this place can be a serious money drain if you don't have a good strategy going in. The first thing to know is that they have lots of discounts. Click here to see daily specials. If you have kids that like rides, I highly suggest going on the days that they sell $26 unlimited wristbands.(Aug. 31 and Sept. 1) Nothing's worse then having to spend $3-$5 per child for a brief smash up on the bumper cars. Most Salem parents are experts on this fair and know that when you walk through the front door, go straight through like you have blinders on. Walk toward the farm animals at the back of the fair. Do the rides last if you can. It's hard to convince a child to go see baby pigs when their staring at the dizzying sites of a carnival. There are lots of fun free activities to do at the fair, here's some links.
Sports and Recreation
Lastly, go local on the food and drink and take pictures. They have an "Oregon Buffet" this year which is food made with only Oregon ingredients. Yum! Now that's something you won't be able to taste through Twitter. I guess I'll actually have to go. See you there, I'll be by the baby pigs on Wed.

Food and fun is what the Oregon State Fair is all about. That means rides, farm animals and greasy fair food. As always, send us some pics of your eats from this years fair and we will post them right here. eatsalem@gmail.com. We'll monitor youtube for videos and post live cams when we can. This year the headliner is ZZ Top. It should be wild watching the bearded trio from Texas take the stage in Salem. I wonder if these sharp dressed men will be spotted dining in town. I'm guessing if they are not sleeping in the tour bus they will be put up at the Grand Hotel. Probably eating at least once at Bentley's. If any of the band's handlers are reading this, tell the guys to meet us in the basement of Venti's for a tweetup before the show. Just DM @RobMcguire.

Actually, I just did a Twitter search and I don't think they have an account but I did find some cool pics.
She got legs!

Here's one of the guys from the band, Dusty Hill, strolling around what looks like a fairground. I wonder if this was one of those "take your daughter to work" days. Ooops, I guess after saying that he won't want to meet up with us for a drink and a Moroccan Chicken Wrap.

The Oregon State Fair runs from Friday, August 27th to September 6th. The official website is right here.

You do know that's Billy F. Gibbons and his wife Gilligan right? http://hipcelebrity.blogspot.com/2009/03/billy-gibbons-of-zz-top-with-his-wife.html

Salem Man said...

Wow, it took two days to catch that one. That's the last time I trust twitpic comments for my facts. I find it kind of funny that I got it wrong, so I'm not going to correct it in the post. Thanks for the fact check. If Billy and his lovely wife want to join the eatsalem.com crowd, we'll be at Jonathan's on Thursday night at 7p. Dusty and that other guy are welcome to come too.

When is the fair the least crowded....what time and day

KandN said...

Probably Monday, the first part of the day.

Anonymous said...

Be careful which day you go. I wouldn't recommend this Monday as it is part of the Carnival Discount Days;

This one is extremly popular. People line up way before the fair even opens.

Les Schwab Tires Kids Day, Monday August 30 - 50% Off All Rides & Game Packages!
All kids ages 0-11 will receive FREE admission on Monday August 30, 2010 from 10 am to 5 pm with a coupon from any Les Schwab Tires store in Oregon.

Gamberetti's is giving a nice discount to dine at their restaurant if you show your State Fair ticket stub. Since it's just down the street from the fairgrounds, it's a nice idea if you don't want to overspend on less than amazing food at the fair!

Had my annual Pronto Pup (not to be confused with Corn Dog) fix at the fair today. Of the two places I found serving them, Bud’s Burgers offering was by far the better. (Also discovered that Bud Gillette, the Bud in Bud's Burgers, and I were classmates at OSU) I've been a Pronto Pup junkie for 60 years. There are two other places (one confirmed and one rumored) to find them in the state. The first is in Otis, just east of Lincoln City and the other is some place in Seaside.

The livestock and art exhibits seemed way down this year. We never did find the floral arrangement exhibits, if there were any.

That slingshot ride would have wound my crank when I was a teenager. Now, not so much. :-)

The crowds are a pain and the hike is long. But It's only once a year and, for many of us, if only briefly, a glimpse of simpler, happier times.

I had fun at the fair but was so sad when I went to Casey's Hotdogs to get a Corn dog which I thought would be hand dipped and it was just a frozen one that they deep fried. I thought Casey's would have better quality. I could have gotten that at Circle K. To bad!

When is the least crowded time to visit the fair? One person asked this but got ignored.

Is it on the weekdays when they first open up? Is a good strategy to go in the mornings then leave at at 11:00am to rest then come back in the evening?

KandN said...

Hi Anonymous,
I see that I answered that question and would answer almost the same now, except I'd add: weekdays are best and the earlier the better.


text: IMG_2319.JPG Onions sown last August, planted in late October and now picking for your box. The yellow onion variety is showing signs of flowering so we will pick that one first. This week we will plant more onions sown in February. These onions were a struggle to keep clean of weeds. We were not able to get into the field until mid January. It took much longer to weed them than we would like.

School Scoop: On site at AAHS

Construction Specialties, a local family-owned business, installed the bleachers at Alexandria Area High School in five days. There are enough bleachers in the main gymnasium of the new high school to hold 2,200 people. (Annie Harman/Echo Press)

The gymnasium at Alexandria Area High School (AAHS) has truly come to life with the installation of the customized bleachers. With enough seats to hold 2,200 people in the main gym, Cardinal Nation will be well equipped to house its many fans during sports season.

0 Talk about it

Though the bleachers were produced by a company based out of Michigan, a local family-owned business was responsible for the installation and future maintenance.

Construction Specialties, co-owned by Paul Fabian of Alexandria and his father, Tom Fabian of Sartell, spent five days installing the bleachers at AAHS, with fewer than 10 employees.

“There are only a few other companies that have the ability to install large jobs like this,” Paul said. The job was the highest number of rows he has ever installed in a high school.

While the older, traditional wood bleachers typically last longer with the proper maintenance, today’s updated, mechanical and detailed bleachers will have a life span of 30 to 40 years.

A pharmacist friend called about a couple of after-hours attempts to break into his establishment. In both incidents, the perpetrators were frightened off by the intrusion alarm system. Because he had a good shot of the criminals on video, he thought the police would have little trouble identifying them, but he was wrong.

When the police arrived on the scene and asked for a copy of the video, it was soon discovered that there was no way to remove it from the digital video recorder (DVR). He realized that there was no provision made to export digital images to a magnetic or optical storage device. The only way to share images with law enforcement using his DVR is to physically remove the hard drive from the machine. In this case, the hard drive is part of an assembly that can be pulled from a docking station within the DVR using a key—a solution that unfortunately did not simplify the process for the end-user.

Choosing a DVR begins with a close examination of what the buyer intends to do with his camera system. He must consider his current and future needs. In the pharmacist’s case, four cameras may have been all he needed when he purchased the system, but now he may need more. Buying with the future in mind not only saves money, but it results in a more integrated approach where camera control and image storage are carried out in a more efficient way.

DVRs come with as few as four or as many as 32 video channels. Starting with four cameras, the number of video channels doubles with each upgrade, for a maximum of 32. Network-based storage systems also are available, but we will confine our discussion to stand-alone DVRs, which dominate the market at this time.

Another issue end-users need to consider is how images are recorded. There are three basic methods used to store video images to a magnetic hard drive: quad, mux and full frame.

The quad method squashes up to four images into a single image frame.

“In quad, four camera images are recorded on a single frame [or image]. This gives the illusion that the machine is capable of recording 120 images per second (ips) when it’s really only recording 30 ips,” said Erron Spalsbury, account manager, 3xlogic.com of Boulder, Colo.

“And since there are four cameras sharing a single frame/image identifying a person or car in essentially (one-quarter) of a 640-by-480 pixel area means that the image quality will be rather poor. But a better quality DVR that uses full-frame mode is capable of truly recording 120 ips, which will give you a much better quality image,” Spalsbury said.

Using the mux method, images are recorded one after the other in a serial format with embedded data that defines each as camera 1 through 4.

The third method, and the best, saves full-frame images in folders or baskets that correlate to each specific camera.

Exporting images for police

When an incident occurs, there must be a way to export images for law enforcement. My pharmacist friend said he didn’t consider exporting images for law enforcement before the incident.

There are several ways to export images. Some of the most popular types of image export include the following:

• A read/writable CD-ROM burner

• A USB port

• An Ethernet port for integration to a local area network (LAN), an individual PC or to a modem for Internet connectivity

Unless the alarm salesman educates the client with regard to cost versus quality, the client likely will award the job to the lowest bidder. As in the case of the pharmacist, we have seen what can happen when price alone motivates a final buying decision.

Including a high-end DVR on each quote you give is perhaps one alternative. It’s also necessary to explain the difference between quad, mux and full frame, so the buyer fully understands the difference between each.

Another way to do that is to use the video tools made available on the Web sites of many DVR manufacturers, such as that of Spalsbury’s 3xlogic.com. There are other DVR manufacturers in the marketplace that, similar to 3xlogic, offers graphic tools to illustrate these differences. For a list of video sales tools, go to www.SecurityMission.com.

Family Feast: Cooking Together on Vacation

by Karen Schwartz
Friday Feb 14, 2014

It can be a recipe for disaster: renting a vacation house with friends without talking about meal planning.

There are obvious topics, like allergies, budgeting, finicky kids and the division of labor.

And then there are those unappetizing issues, like what to do if one participant is a reluctant - or rotten - cook.

"I don't do anything domestically ever," said David Lando, a financial adviser in Washington, D.C.

So when his large family gathers for their annual vacation at a house in upstate New York, everyone picks a night to cook - except Lando.

When it's his turn, he gets takeout.

"The last couple of years the grocery store near our place has run a special on (prepared) lobster," he said. "It works out so well that it's hard to argue about it."

Not every group trip goes so smoothly, however.

Alyson Stoakley, of suburban Richmond, Va., used to be an event planner, so when she and her husband went to Wintergreen Resort with four other couples, she took charge of divvy up the cooking and cleaning for the weekend.

She asked for volunteers for appetizers, dinners and breakfasts. (Lunches were eaten out.) The problems began immediately.

There were too many volunteers for the dinners, and two of them were complete opposites: One was known for quick and easy comfort food, the other for making fabulous health-conscious meals from scratch.

Stoakley made the assignments in the order people responded, and so ended up dining on Stouffer's lasagna, Texas toast and romaine lettuce from a bag.

And the gourmet cook? She made Saturday's breakfast, cooking two egg casseroles, one with sausage and one with vegetables.

As it turned out, that plentiful meal not only gave people a choice, but the leftovers saved them on Sunday when that meal's chef realized she had only bagels, having forgotten the eggs and left the bacon unrefrigerated in her shopping bag all weekend.

Despite the gastronomic goofs, by taking it all in stride, "We really had a good weekend," Stoakley said. "It didn't ruin the friendships and we all made it through."

Tips for Group Meals

To help things go smoothly, consider these tips:

-Pick one person as the coordinator who can find out what staples the vacation rental provides, compile shopping lists, collect money or make dinner reservations. Consider rewarding the coordinator with a pass on cooking or cleaning.

-Plan how duties will be shared. Is a person responsible for an entire day's meals, a single meal, or just part of a meal? Decide who will clean up.

-Discuss allergies and dietary restrictions. A peanut allergy, for example, might also mean no peanut oil, which can be found in a variety of foods from pesto to chocolate. Depending on your crowd, chefs may be perfectly willing to accommodate vegetarians, vegans, paleos and others - or they may find it a great imposition. Either way, best to hash it out in advance.

-If you, or yours, are picky eaters, bring your own food and make sure others know it's not up for grabs.

-Figure out how to manage shopping and expenses. Will it be done jointly or is each individual responsible for his or her own ingredients?

"You have to be laid back and go with the flow," Stoakley said. "It's just for a short period of time. It's not forever."

Then again, if coordinating cooking seems daunting, a private chef might be the answer.

That's what Maureen Bee of Fort Collins enjoyed when she and her family vacationed in Acapulco, Mexico with five other families.

"They cooked all of our meals, did all of our grocery shopping, got all of our booze. Everything," she said.

There were snacks during the day, bartenders at night, a team of cooks in the kitchen and even servers.

"It was like having a restaurant in our villa," she said.

At the end of the trip, the group calculated in the gratuity and split the bill.

To find a private cook, check with your rental company or call caterers at your destination. Many chefs also maintain websites.

Prices vary with the menu and location, but a full service dinner prepared by a caterer hired through would start at $35 per person. Breakfasts begin at $15 and lunch $25, said Julie Byrd, spokeswoman for company, which handles rentals in Mexico's Baja Peninsula.

Still, for Lando, who is so averse to cooking that he eats out as a matter of course, it's a real pleasure to savor the home-cooked meals that come with his summer getaway. And the icing on the cake?

"The real treat is being able to have dinner with my whole family," he said.

The Great British Chefs share their favourite recipes, this week - Duck Ragu

PUBLISHED: 11:56 01 March 2013 | UPDATED: 11:56 01 March 2013

Duck Ragu

Duck Ragu

Great British Chefs

In the first of new feature, Great British Chefs share their favourite recipes with you.

Each week we will be showcasing a new favourite recipe from one of the Great British Chefs, and to start us of this week is Matthew Tomkinson’s Duck ragu.

Matthew Tomkinson currently holds one Michelin star for the Terrace Restaurant at the Montagu Arms, on the Beaulieu Estate in the New Forest, which he won six months after taking over the restaurant in 2009. He won his first star in 2008 for The Goose in Britwell Salome.

Matthew’s style mixes class French techniques with a love of home-cooked food, and keeps away from the jellies, mousses and foams. If you ever venture to his restaurant, expect rich, comforting dishes such as his start of slow-cooked oxtail, layered with a puree and slices of celeriac, in a lasagne style.

Click on the link at the top right of the page to view each recipe.

Check back every Friday to see what culinary delights the Great British Chefs suggest next.

Are you going to attempt the Duck Ragu? We would love to see your photos and videos, so please send them to us via iWitness.

How to Turn Off the Service Engine Light in a Volvo S60
A late-model Volvo. (volvo xc 70 image by Harald Soehngen from

The "service engine" light in the Volvo S60 serves an important purpose. This light alerts you to problems with the car's exhaust system or malfunctions of the mass air flow sensor. Its most common use, though, is to alert you that the car is in need of an oil change. Many S60 owners choose to do the oil change themselves, as the procedure is very simple, but they do not possess the sophisticated electronics to reset the car's computer to shut off the indicator light. For these owners, there is a way to turn off the light manually.

Place the key into the S60's ignition.

Press down on the S60's odometer trip reset button and hold it there.

Turn the key to the "II" (accessories) position in the ignition.

Continue to hold the odometer trip reset button until the Service Engine Light begins flashing.

Release the odometer trip reset button and turn off the key in the ignition. Your service engine light should be reset to off. If it turns on again soon, your S60 might need service.

Types of Indoor Climbing Plants

Types of Indoor Climbing Plants
Control the invasive qualities of invasive climbing plants by growing them indoors. (Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images)

Climbing plants in the garden are very difficult to control. With their ability to climb up and over other plants, they may smother garden vegetation or become invasive. Choose indoor climbing plants instead, growing them as houseplants so you can exercise more control over their spreading, vining growth habits.

Climbing plants need a support system when grown indoors, or you may place them up high so the foliage will cascade downward. Provide plants with a warm, sunny location and provide them with regular water to keep them healthy. Gently prune away dead and dying leaves to keep climbing plants looking good, and to prevent problems from spreading.

Fatshedera (X) lizei, more commonly known as tree ivy, is a cross of the Japanese fatsia and Irish ivy. Its foliage strongly resembles that of ivy, and it is a climbing plant, but fatshedera also exhibits bushy, shrublike growth. When planted outdoors it will grow up, then back down, again and again to create a dense mat of foliage. The hedera, or ivy, plant family contains many species of climbing plants that may be grown indoors. Propagate ivy plants from cuttings.

House Plants

The wax plant, Hoya, is easy to grow in containers and popular as house plants because of their attractive foliage. When pinched back, wax plants will display bushy growth, but if they have support they become climbers. Wax plants go through normal winter dormancy even when grown indoors, so do not be alarmed when they die back in fall. Philodendrons make good house plants because they are very hardy to dust and dry air conditions that are common with indoor environments. Philodendron species are available in climbing and non-climbing types, but even non-climbing species need support because the bushy growth gets very heavy.

Devil's ivy, Scindapus, isn't ivy despite its name. Devil's ivy, also known as pothos, is climbing vine. Arrowhead vine, Syngonium, grow quickly and stay hardy even in poor growing conditions. Propagate climbing vines from stem cuttings taken from existing, healthy plants.

Homemade Soap Molds

Making soap is something that has been done for centuries. The first recorded use was by the Babylonians in 2,800 B.C., but it was possibly made before then. Making soap is something that you can do at home. Not only can you spoil yourself by making delightful soap for yourself, but you can give it as gifts to others, as well. With lye and some other ingredients, you can use household items to make molds for your soap.

Collected Items

  • You do not have to buy soap molds in a store. In fact, it's possible to incorporate things you collect as soap molds. One of the main characteristics of a mold is that it needs to be stiff enough to allow the soap to take on its shape without deforming. For example, if you wish to make soap in the shape of shells, use shells as molds. You would have to first make sure the shell is completely clean before using it, as well as put something on the inside of the shell like oil or line it with plastic to make sure the soap can be removed from the shell after it's hardened. Other household items can serve as homemade soap molds, saving you the necessity of buying them. Muffin tins lined with waxed paper, heart-shaped cookie cutters or cookie cutters of any shape also work well. If you choose to use cookie cutters as molds you need to either line them with plastic wrap so that the soap stays within its confines until after it's hardened, or pour the soap into a shallow tray and cut it with the cookie cutter when the soap has hardened a little.

PVC Pipe

  • It is possible to create cylindrical soap by using PVC pipe as a soap mold. Your local hardware store or building supply store will come in handy for this approach, as it will certainly stock PVC pipes of varying diameters. Choose the diameter pipe you wish--or more than one--and cut the PVC pipe into the lengths you desire for your soap molds. Make sure you buy enough caps for your pipe--you should have two for each soap mold you make from the pipe. If you buy threaded PVC, you can get around the need for PVC cement to secure the caps to the pipe, thus making it easier to remove the soap after it's hardened inside the mold. Screw on one cap on your PVC soap mold, pour in the soap, then screw on the other cap. Allow the soap to harden, then release it from the mold by unscrewing the caps and nudging it out with your fingers. It may even slide out on its own. The nice things about the PVC pipe soap molds are that the soap will not stick to them, they are easy to clean and they will last a long time.

Wooden Soap Molds

  • Wooden soap molds are good when you wish to make plain bars of soap. If you make a box out of plywood, you could use hinges to secure the sides of the mold, so that when it's time to cut the soap, you need only fold down the sides to have easy access to the soap inside. The wooden soap molds do not have to be made with plywood, but any wood you like. Generally speaking, for the ease of cutting the soap once it's hardened, the molds should not be longer than the tool with which you are cutting the soap. That way you can make clean cuts with the blade. Think of cutting a loaf of bread with a proper bread knife rather than with a paring knife. Because of the shorter blade, you will have a far harder time creating a clean slice with the paring knife. The same holds true for soap.

This article appeared in the March 1st 2007 edition of the Pocahontas Times. The hard copy did not have these photos with it, but the online version did.
A Sunny day in Feburary '06
The upper roof sports a four panel module on the right. Across the front there is a narrow band of solar electric panels(8 of them, each 1'X 4'). Just below them, centered is a solar hot water heater, which only requires water and sun to operate. The house is 32 feet wide.

Off the grid, but still online in Lobelia

This is the third installment of our biweekly series about
Pocahontas County residents who are taking
creative steps to meet their energy needs.

Drew Tanner
Staff Writer
     The power lines don't go out to the Condons' home in Lobelia, but step inside their home and you'll find the usual creature comforts: a fridge, washing machine, television, lights, a computer. In fact, Mike is a webmaster for several local businesses.
     Since the mid-1980s, Mike and Danette Condon have powered their home completely independent of the nation's electric power grid with a collection of solar panels, a bank of batteries and a generator.
     In their remote neck of the woods, the power company told the Condons it would cost around $5,000 to bring an electrical service line to their home. Instead, they initially spent about $4,000 adapting their home for solar heating and electricity.
     Over time, they've learned what works-and what doesn't-and have refined their system accordingly.
     Starting out, the couple said they didn't have much, but they simply added on and grew their system as money allowed.
     "We were minimum wagers who were supporting an emerging industry," noted Mike.
     "That's what we all did," Danette said of many of the families that moved to the area in the mid 1970s as part of the Back to the Land movement. "We put our money were our mouth was. We did without some things, but we had energy independence."
The battery box is about 6 feet left to right
18 Deep cycle 6 volt batteries comprise the electric storage capabilities. Wired in series as pairs to make 12 volts and then in parallel, maintaining 12 volts but increasing the amp/hours

     Today, their home's 12 solar panels power lights and appliances and charge a bank of deep-cycle marine batteries that provide power at night or during cloudy stretches. The house also harnesses solar energy for heat: sliding glass door replacements make up the windowed south side of the home's first and second floors. Rather than depend on an electric pump, water is supplied by a spring 19 feet above the home's grade. A solar water heater provides hot water for showers and washing duties.
     A woodstove provides the balance of the home's heat and can also provide hot water when the sun isn't shining enough for the roof-mounted water heater.
     For heavier chores, like running the washing machine or using power tools-which would place a heavy draw on their home's batteries, the Condons employ a modest propane generator.
     It's a sophisticated set up that has surprisingly simple roots.
     In 1983, with no electricity at their house, Mike discovered he could power a portable stereo with the solar fence charger they bought from Sears.
Charge controlers, inverter and load center
The white inverter is 22" wide 8" high, and draws little current when on standby. The silver box with dials is the load center which contains automotive type fuses to protect the curcuits. The small black unit up high is the charge controler for the 4 roof panels. The small silver box is the charge controler for the 8 photovoltaic panels that run across the front of the building, this unit also has an automatic low voltage disconnect(to protect the batteries from over discharge which can shorten their life).
Photo by Michael Condon
     The idea for other solar applications around the house grew from there.
     Their original system ran on 12 volts, which required converting lamps and buying appliances that can run on such a system.
     Since then, the Condons added an inverter that converts the 12 volts generated by the solar panels, also called photovoltaic cells, to the 120 volts common in 'on-the-grid' households. The inverted power is used by their computer, television and coffee grinder, while lights and music continue to run on the 12-volt system.
     A 12-volt refrigerator was eventually replaced with a propane model, stretching the home's battery capacity even further.
     Mike notes that the modular nature of solar power has made it easy to expand the system in phases, rather than financing everything with substantial debt.
     "We appreciated what we got, when we got it, because we worked for it," he said.
     For those who want to go solar or otherwise reduce their use of resources, Danette said each small step helps.
     "If everybody takes whatever steps they can to conserve or do energy efficiency or do alternative energy, every step helps," she said. "And whatever you do, hopefully, makes you feel so good that you do something more."
     "We started making changes in our own lifestyles in the 1970s to get where we are now," she added.
     "This is one of the worst climates for solar, yet we've made it," she said.
Fresh greens all winter
All that glass helps us grow most of our greens thru the winter. But alas the washing of said windows awaits the return of our children. (they'll like that....)
   Organic Jersy with new calf seem unconcerned about the silent power generation taking place 50 yards away
Our concern for the planet goes beyond just power generation, so we go the extra mile to protect our state's waterways by managing our farmette organically. Often as we give thanks we notice that most if not all of the meal was Home Grown.

New Trad Designers 2016

So, this feels strange to ask but I’m hoping you guys will vote for me to be one of this years New Trad “Rising Star” Designers.  I feel kind of silly entering myself, but in this world of never-ending online media, there is still something very desirable and rewarding about being in print.  And I LOVE Traditional Home- in a time when I’ve stopped getting a few shelter magazines I used to love- I started getting this one (and Veranda, another fave!)

So please go here to vote.

A few portfolio images I picked as examples of my “new traditional” work!

Speaking of magazines, have many of you gotten the Texture app to read all your magazines online? I don’t have an iPad and it seems that is the best way to use this app but I am intrigued (and will be stealing Andrew’s iPad to give it a go).  Seems like it could be a real disruptor in the magazine marketplace.  Do you think print magazines will every become a thing of the past? I hope not but it seems like it may be inevitable!

  1. Yes I would love to vote for you. Your design talent is amazingly fresh but traditional.
    I do still get the same two magazines you love, Trad Home and Veranda but have let all others go. I do think print magazines are on the way out simply by judging what I have let go. If everyone does this we are a short time away. It doesn’t bother me. I find computer reading much easier and more enjoyable. My old tear sheets go right to Pinterest now. :)

  2. Sometime ago I read that print catalogs had made a comeback. Apparently having RH on one’s coffee table was a social signifier, that of having good taste and the means to shop. I don’t know if that’s true, a stack of catalogs looks junky to me. But a pile of design magazines? Yes! I rarely reread digital magazines but it is fun to flip through the pages of an old AD or Veranda. And Cabana is the best, it is an attention grabber and people always ask about it.
    Good luck with the voting. You have great taste!

  3. I love the Texture app! There are about 10 or so magazines that I read regularly and they are all included in the monthly fee. You can take a dozen magazines on a flight just by having your iPad with you!

  4. Voted!

    I’ve been using Texture (formerly Next Issue) for years and I LOVE IT!!!!! You can read every magazine you ever wanted and then some (ok, except Martha and Martha Weddings). They added a feature that lets you bookmark or save a page/photo/recipe which is awesome. For the past several years I’ve been taking zillions of screen shots, but this is a great way to keep everything organized. Now if only we could pin from the pages too… Try it!

  5. Honestly, I think there is room for both. I like the tactile experience of leisurely flipping through a magazine and clipping out items for later (namely, Garden & Gun cocktail recipes). Print feels like such a luxury these days when, as someone who works in tech, I am literally staring at a computer for 8 – 10 hours a day. Also, I treasure my back issues of Gourmet.

    But, I can see subscribing to Texture because it would eliminate my unfortunate habit of impulse buying magazines while waiting in the grocery line because a single article looked interesting. It’s an expensive habit and I find I’m throwing 50 pounds worth of magazines into the recycling bin every six months or so.

  6. Print magazines will never go away. Just like printed books are seeing a resurgence, so are printed magazines. There’s a place for both printed and digital publications, but the experience is completely different. If I want to see pretty pictures, I go to my favorite blogs, Pinterest or Houzz where I can get that content for free. If I want to read about how to achieve that look, I go to a magazine, where I can soak in details that you just don’t get on a screen. I enjoy both, but they are different experiences.

  7. Voted for you! Your design is so fresh and modern, but with a lovely traditional base. Love. Love. Love.

  8. I love that Buddha statue. Can you suggest where I might find one of similar size?
    I voted. Love your work and blog.

  9. Done!

    I love reading print magazines but the tear sheets get stacked up. Although I subscribed to both digital and print versions of my magazines, I never look at the digital version.
    Pinning my images rather than tearing sheets out would be SO much easier. And as an architect with a huge image file this makes so much sense. Maybe in 2016 :) I will check out the Texture app….

  10. Voted! You are my designer go to. I am so thankful I picked up your book ( read it cover to cover) and you have inspired me so much. I could relate to you on many levels and absolutely admire your taste qnd style!

    Go Erin!!!

  11. Voted!! I love your design aesthetic. I purchased your book and read the entire thing word-for-word. It’s nice to come across a design book that has both beautiful images and stories. You and your designs are an inspiration :)

  12. I LOVE Texture, have been using it for about 18 months, and I print out images that particularly appeal to me. I like that you can go through all the back issues too – way better than a stack in my office that I rarely look at! I still buy print magazines too, but only for English titles (that remind me of home), or special editions or titles here that I want to keep and refer back to. As an earlier commenter said, its particularly great for travelling, and as Henry gets older, you’ll need an iPad in your arsenal of ‘amusements’ for longer trips!

  13. Well done. It is a must to have a hardcopy magazine on your coffee table. I don’t know but a printed image is better than any screen. I hate when some guests are playing their phone. better to have them read a piece of paper you know.

  14. Voted! I admire your talent and really enjoy your wonderful book, Erin. (Bought 12 copies to give as Christmas gifts — everyone loved it!) Best of luck; I’m pulling for you. :)

  15. Of course I’ll vote for you! Love the spindle chairs in the first pic – I’ve got the same chair, but in a neutral beige – you’ve got me thinking about reupholstering . . .

  16. I’ve had Texture for two years now and love it. Being able to capture an page with a photo is so helpful if I want to Tweet about a museum exhibit or new book (@1qualitythefinest). I can load up on magazines I don’t normally get when I have a long trip. I can expand the page to read small text or view detail. Go for it!
