Queer Flockers Coastal Birding Extravaganza

Friends of Netart Bay WEBS is excited to partner with Queer Flockers, a Portland-based queer birding group, to host a Coastal Birding Extravaganza for queer folks and bird lovers to learn, bird, and be in community on Saturday, July 19th, 9:00 a.m.! We will explore the tidal flats of Tillamook Bay, the sandy beach of Bayocean Spit, and the dramatic cliffs of Cape Meares. This year one hundred and nineteen different species of birds have been spotted on and around the spit, twenty eight in the month of June alone. “We hope to see many of these species while taking in the diverse habitats of mudflats, grasslands, beaches and forests”, shares WEBS director Chrissy Smith. Come join us for what’s sure to be a fun morning of hiking, exploring, birding and socializing!

Space is limited! We have 10 spots for our Portland-based Flockers and 10 spots for folks in Tillamook County. Please choose the appropriate ticket when you register!
Check out Bayocean Spit and Cape Meares on eBird to learn more about who we might see.

Some Useful Information:
Parking can fill up on a beautiful Saturday in the summer. Please carpool as much as possible!
We will be walking on trails and sandy beaches for most of the day, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
Bring a picnic lunch and water.
If you have binoculars, bring them! We will also have binoculars, so don’t worry if you don’t have your own.
We recommend leaving the pooch at home.

Rare Pre 1941 Set of Two ‘Whistling Bird’ Tokkuri Sake Set with 5 Cups

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: swifter.05-firmest@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Rare Pre-1941 Set of two ‘Whistling Bird’ Tokkuri sake set vessels with 5 whistling cups- the set is a bright blue with hand made moriage dragon on the pieces
- when the sake or tea is poured the gold bird on the top of the pitcher whistles as do the cups 
- the larger 6 sided pitcher is 18 cm (7”) high and the smaller six sided pitcher is 15 cm (6 inches) high x 5.5 cm diameter base
- the tray is 19 cm (7.5 inches) in diameter
- the cups stand 3.5 cm high x 5 cm diameter across the rim
- the whole set is in excellent condition This is a whistling cup – when you drink and suck in air through the hole on the side, the cup whistles. From 1921-1941, wares from Japan exported to the United States had to be marked “Japan” or “Made in Japan” The image displays a backstamp or mark on a piece of Japanese porcelain, likely from a tea set, featuring the words “HANDPAINTED JAPAN” and the Japanese characters for “Japan” (日本) in the center. 
* This mark is commonly found on vintage Japanese porcelain, particularly on items like Kutani Moriage Dragonware tea sets. 
 * “Moriage” refers to a decorative technique where raised enamel is applied to create a three-dimensional effect, often seen in the dragon motifs on these pieces. 
 * The inclusion of both English and Japanese script in the mark was common on items produced for export to Western countries. 
 * These tea sets, often featuring intricate designs like dragons and sometimes lithophane geisha figures in the cups, were popular in the early to mid-20th century.  * the presence of two large vessels in this prewar sake set suggests they are likely Tokkuri, which are sake flasks used for serving.  * Here are a few possible reasons why the set might include two Tokkuri: * Serving Warm Sake: One Tokkuri can be used to warm sake in a water bath while the other is used for pouring. This allows for a continuous flow of warm sake. * Convenience: Having two Tokkuri allows for a quick replacement once the first is empty, preventing interruptions during a meal or gathering. * Large Gatherings: the prewar sake set was designed for serving multiple people, two Tokkuri would be necessary to hold and serve enough sake for everyone. * Cultural Significance: Sake has long held cultural importance in Japan, with ceremonies and gatherings often involving the consumption of sake. Having multiple vessels would be beneficial for these occasions.  * While not explicitly mentioned as a standard for prewar sets, some older sets might have been designed with multiple Tokkuri for these practical reasons. * It’s also worth noting that the shape and size of Tokkuri can vary, with larger flasks allowing the sake to warm more slowly. This might also contribute to the size of the vessels in this set. I bought this set in 1988 from the widow of an Army veteran who was stationed in Japan in 1946. He brought this set back from Japan.

Oregon HB2025

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Here’s a little history on Oregon’s gas tax:

www.koin.com/news/oregon/105-years-of-the-gas-tax-getting-oregon-out-of-mud/

With delayed road repair in the state, and increasing traffic as well as vehicle weight heading up, funds to maintain and improve road infrastructure are needed. Doesn’t look like demand is ever going down.

Still, HB2025 faces much resistance and may not pass. If it does then some lawmakers vow to refer it to voters. I do like parts of the bill: for personal vehicles the per-mile-tax formerly proposed for everyone would only apply to EVs and certain other battery-assisted cars. And I like that the 2%-1% sales tax doesn’t apply to vehicles under $10k. Many of the fee increases seem excessive, until they are compared to the overall expense of owning a car or truck. A lot of them may not have increased in a long time so it’s coming eventually. There’s still no fees I’m aware of for traction tires, which cause tremendous wear and tear on roadways.

Non-Religious Afterlife Book

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: 2louisa@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The topic of consciousness originating beyond the physical brain gains more traction every year. The sheer number of people reporting Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), researching telepathy, and otherwise questioning the materialist paradigm holding back science grows yearly and becomes increasingly impossible to dismiss.

I myself had a really tough time parting ways with society’s most fundamental materialist rule, which holds that all things can be explained physically and therefore consciousness is confined to the brain. After I, as an adamant though alcoholic atheist in 1982, underwent a three-minute cardiac arrest, shot out of my body, travelled through a landscape, and eventually communicated telepathically with a tremendously loving being, I came back to life faced with an existential dilemna. That had to have been some kind of brain shut-down, right?

But, as I explain in my book, my energetic filter had been damaged, so the after-effects kept coming: 5 years later I witnessed a ghost; 10 years later I foreknew a death; 12 years later, the same loving being busted into my consciousness to pretty much strike me sober. I’ve since interviewed dozens of NDErs whose stories overlap with mine.

My book — Die-Hard Atheist: from NDE-Denier to Full-on Woo-Woo — is available at Cloud & Leaf Books or Manzanita News & Espresso, as well as via the evil empire (Amazon), where it’s garnered a 4.5 rating (85 reviews). The link is just below. A few Manzanita locals have read and enjoyed the book. Email me to find out whether you already know one of them or if you’d like to buy an author copy directly from me.

PS: If you’re not into buying anything but are willing to look into science beyond materialism, a good starting point is the increasingly popular podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, available everywhere.
