For a very long time I have had a mostly hate relationship with Dish TV. The price continually rises and the things I want to watch continually decrease assuming I can even find them in the maze of useless stations. I had to buying hundreds of unwanted stations in order to get a few channels I like.
My last billing came last week with an increase to over $90.00 per month. That's over $1,080.00 per year. That's just nuts! A value truly for the more money than brains crowd IMO. That was the bill that broke the camel's back. I signed up for the free Netflix trial.
I'd been thinking about making the change for some time but old habits die hard. I had even gone so far as to purchase Apple TV with my new iMac back in November but the thing was such a pain to get set up I just lost interest, until I got that last Dish bill. It made me so mad I called Apple Care and even though I was well past my free tech support period they helped me anyway for no charge. Way to go Apple.
I immediately went online and signed up for the Netflix free trail. One of the first things I found was a TV series I had never heard of called Lillyhammer. I think it may be a Netflix original series. Anyway, it's a real hoot and I have already enjoyed the first season. With television series you can go to the first episode and work you way chronologically all the way through. Netflix keeps track of what you are watching and where you are in the "Recently Viewed" section. You can easily watch what you want when you want with just a couple of clicks. For example, I might watch an episode of Nip Tuck, which can be very intense, and then lighten up with the next episode of 30 Rock. I am in control of my programing. All without commercial interruption.
There is a "New Releases" category which does the obvious, display new releases. Over at Dish their movie channels all play the same movies just at different times. But, in order to get the channels you watch all the time you have to buy a bunch of different packages. It's a total ripoff IMO. What I'm finding at Netflix is that new movies are showing up much sooner than on any Dish movie channel. One thing I will miss, but not too much, are the HBO series, like Boardwalk Empire. NCIS doesn't seem to be available but I can live without that too. They've run those on Dish until I'm dizzy. Bones is offered.
Netflix also has an incredible library of documentaries. This section alone could keep me busy for a very long time. Last night I watched "The Buddha" narrated by Richard Gere. Very good. They also have a just for kids section.
You won't get any local programing if you don't stay with one of the providers but I really could care less about that. Any news I want I can get on line. For those that need the local stations you can probably get those for under $30.00 per month. With Netflix at only $8.00 per month that's still a pretty hefty savings and you get so much more!
Another big plus is the audio is ten times better than with Dish. It's theater quality now. I think this is because it's all digital. Something I didn't get at Dish for $90 per month.
When I called Dish to cancel they tried to change my mind six ways to Sunday. I just said no!
Here's part of an e-mail they sent me:
"We are willing to do almost anything to get you back.
We belong together, and we want to prove our commitment to you. We have had a lot of great times and we want to continue to show you how much you mean to DISH.
We will welcome you back with over $400 in savings: $120 off your programming package, HD programming FREE for life (requires 24-month agreement and AutoPay with Paperless Billing) and 9 premium movie channels of Showtime® FREE for 3 months. We have been through a lot together and you deserve it.
In addition to these great savings, you also have access to great extras for free with DISH Perks. Look for amazing sweepstakes, exclusive free shows, monthly free previews and DISH Online content where you can enjoy all your favorite programming everywhere you go, on your computer. These are just a few of the amazing extras you can experience just for being a DISH customer."
They should have offered me deals before I quit. But, apparently the rules of engagement are that you have to threaten to leave to get a better deal. That doesn't cut it with me. I don't appreciate these kind of games and have much better things to do with my time.
I have experienced a couple of glitches. 1) I lost audio whilst watching Brothers and Sisters but a call to Netflix customer service got it fixed in no time. They had to "boost" something. That the tech was service oriented was to say the least. I feel like Netflix really wants and appreciates my business. 2) Sometimes the audio loses its sync. I just back out of the program and reload it. It takes two seconds. It's so insignificant to me that I have not bothered to call to find out if there is a fix.
My initial concern about Netflix was the streaming quality. So far, for me, it has been seamless. And, I worried that I might run out of things to watch. After browsing the site I think if I sat in front of my television 24/7 I wouldn't run out in this lifetime.
I highly recommend everyone give Netflix a try. It certainly meets and exceeds my needs whilst saving me nearly $1,000 per year. There is a one month free trial so give Netflix a whirl there's nothing to loose.

WHITE GOLD HONEY-CANADIAN DELIGHT
Over the years I have added more and more organic foods to my diet. Like many people my initial reluctance was the price. Today I don't care as much about the price as I do about the ingredients. I believe our food supply is tainted and I have absolutely no confidence in corporate ethics. In fact I do believe many corporations would and are selling poison for profit.
But, I digress. This article is about a new honey I recently discovered at the health food store. I love honey, especially with peanut butter. I'm still a fan of Skippy's extra chunky. Can't help it. Love it.
The honey that I discovered is called White Gold Honey imported from Canada. It is a raw, untreated honey.
As they say here in Montana, it is a little spendy but oh la la is it good. It's honey nirvana as far as I'm concerned. I've been eating the stuff right out of the jar. It seems almost sacrilegious to taint it with anything else.
I read just this morning of a man in Arizona who is over 100 and still going strong. One of his secrets is organic honey. Personally, I would rather dose myself with dreamy, creamy honey than pharmaceutical poison. But, each to his own.
I'm usually behind the curve wandering around out here in the wilderness. So, maybe everyone already knows about White Gold. But, if you don't and are a lover of honey you need to give White Gold a try. I strongly recommend that you do. If you Google "White Gold Honey" you can shop the best prices online.
I took this image on my dining room table without the benefit of lighting. Didn't turn out too bad. I bet it's a lot of fun being a product photographer. The thing about nature photography, not much is in your control.

LouLa's Cafe - Huckleberry/Peach Pie
Friday October 7, 2011
One of my favorite reads is Via published by AAA. The magazine features destinations to consider, things to do and things to eat. I especially like the things to eat! I've been a member of AAA since forever and have been glad about that. One of the few things I find where you still get your money's worth. One thing I find annoying though. For some reason my card says that I have been a member since 1911 and absolutely no one has ever complemented me on how good I look for my age!
In the Fall issue I noticed an article on pies and read with gusto. Great luck; one of the mentioned eateries was Loula's Cafe in Whitefish and they were touting the peach and huckleberry pie.
When I fist moved to Montana people would speak of huckleberries with such reverence I thought they had taken leave of their senses. I could not imagine how a berry fruit could deserve such adoration. That was, of course, before I tasted them. Now I love them so much I coined the name Montana Caviar.
I'll never forget my first encounter. Koty and I were on our way to hike the Terriault Pass and came across and elderly gentleman up on the side of the mountain foraging around in the bushes with a small pail in hand. I could not restrain myself so I stopped and climbed up the bank to ask what he was doing. He told me he was picking huckleberries and asked if I would like to try some. From that first mouthwatering bite it was clear what all the todo was about. The gentleman even offered Koty a handful. He loved them too and Koty is a very finicky eater. It was quite generous of this stranger because those berries are tiny and it takes forever to get a even a small pail of those delicious nuggets.
When I read of Loula's I knew I had to go down to Whitefish and try a slice. I called my sidekick Mona and we made a plan to go down to Whitefish and today we did just that. Fortunately, I had called ahead to enquire about the availability and was told that around 11:00 to 11:30 was a good time. We arrived right on schedule and a good thing too! There were exactly two pieces of pie remaining.
Well, all I can say is there was no disappointment, the pie was delicious. The peach huckleberry combination was all I had dreamed and the crust was outstanding. I always judge a pie maker by its crust. You can mess up the greatest filling with a lousy crust. I can't tell you what it cost as I did not see the slice price and my chum picked up the tab. You can also order the whole pie. Now there's a decadent idea!
I'd not been to this cafe before so I scanned the menu and it appeared overall reasonable. I noticed what looked like a very nice selection of hamburgers and I'm a fool for hamburgers. I think I will have to return to try some of their other fare. I would recommend you try Loula's if you should find yourself in Whitefish, Montana. And, you will most assuredly find yourself there if you are coming to Glacier National Park.
If you want to give it a go Loula's is located at 300 Second Street E. The entrance is right on 93 and the cafe is located downstairs. The phone number is (406) 862-5614. If you're looking for the huckleberry pie you may want to call ahead.

My Apple and iPad2 Review
It was sad to learn of Steve Jobs stepping down. From recent photos it is clear he is losing his battle with cancer. At least he was able to see Apple go from a cult computer company to a consumer electronics behemoth. Apple has now eaten Microsoft's lunch and there has to be redemption in that.
I've been using PC's since before they were PC's, back in the day they were called IBM clones. I switched to Apple about five years ago and wondered why I had not done it years before. Yes, they are more expensive than a PC but, for my money, worth every penny. With Mac you get what you pay for or at least that has been my experience.
Recently, a Canadian chum of mine suggested that I would enjoy an iPad for reading books and surfing the web and encouraged me to buy one which I did.
We got off to a rocky star, my iPad and I. The first thing it told me was that I needed to download the most current version of iTunes. I downloaded iTunes but when I tried to install it I was advised that my operating system did not support it. I called Apple Care support got put on hold for fifteen minutes, then got a person that asked a bunch of questions and then transferred me to another area where I waited, not so patiently, for another fifteen minutes and was disconnected. I called back, was on hold for another twenty minutes, repeated all the information I had provided before and was transfered again and put on hold again. After about ten minutes I got a live person. I explained my problem. He said he would help me but he needed to put me on hold which he did. I waited another fifteen minutes and the guy never came back on the line. I finally hung up.
Whlst on my second attempt to get help I was reading the box and saw printed in tiny script, and I mean tiny, "compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8 or latter". Since I live in the middle of nowhere I always buy my Apple products via the online Apple store and I hadn't noticed this bit. I'm sure it's there but I didn't see it. Then I read iPad is compatible with Windows all the way back to XP. That really frosted me. My OS was not nearly as old as XP.
The irony is that I would have had a 10.5 OS on my laptop if Apple had come out with it when they said they would. It was supposed to have come out in May of 2008. I deferred the purchase of my laptop so I could have it. Well, it got pushed forward until, by the end August, I could wait no longer as I was preparing to leave for a six month photo safari. What had held up the release of the new operating system? Oh, just a silly little product called the iPhone.
So, here I sat with two Macs with the wrong operating systems whilst PC users could cruise right in to an iPad with XP! I didn't want to spring for a new operating system as I plan to buy a new Mac in the next moth or so. I felt very angry and betrayed.
With muder in my heart I dialed the support number again. After another ten minute wait and I got a young man named Brad. This was not his lucky day. He started to ask the same questions for the third time and I said "Brad, wait just one minute before you go on" and I unloaded a barrage of frustration that would have knocked down all but the very courageous. To the young man's credit he took it like a trooper. I basically told him if he transferred me again I would never buy another Apple product again as long as I lived! An empty threat but I was going for all I was worth.
Brad listened to my tirade and said he would transfer me to a senior tech specialst and stay on the line until we were connected. I explained the situation to Christopher who was very professional and sympathetic. I got the feeling I wasn't the only loyal subject who had had a fit over this issue. In any event Christopher offered to send me the OS upgrade at no charge. Now, this was the Apple I was accustomed to dealing with.
About a week later I got the disk. It took forever to install the new system, all the updates, the new version of iTunes, and the iTunes account stuff. But once I got that nasty chore done it was smooth sailing.
All, I can say about iPad is what a cool toy! It was a snap to start e-mailing, web surfing, game playing and reading my favorite books. It's Apple quality through and through. You can get much less expenive tablets for reading books. I think the Kindle from Amazon is only about $149 as opposed to the iPad I bot which was $599. But, with the Kindle all you can do is read books. With iPad there is no end to the stuff you can do. I'm sure it will be awhile before I discover even half of them.
The really cool thing about iPhone and iPad is now the world knows what we Mac users have known for a long time Apple = Innovation and Superior Quality. All I ask is that Apple not forsake us loyal Mac users. I think they won't. I think instead more people will consider buying a Mac and that will be great for all concerned.
Apple reminds me of a racehorse I greatly admired as a kid. His name was Silky Sullivan. Old Silky would just lounge around about twenty lengths back and then just when you thought there was no chance for him he would stretch out those long legs and fly by the pack to win. Apple is certainly in the winners circle today having coming from a small cult computer manufacturer to a consumer electronics juggernaut.
God bless and keep you Mr. Jobs. You've done fine things for which you can be very proud!

Cattle Drive Chili
This post may seem a little off topic but it's not really. Life on the road, as a photographer, isn't always that glamorous.
At this very moment in time we are stuck in Bozeman, Montana in a thunder and lightening storm. Yesterday we tried to hike the Bear Canyon Trail, both Koty and I were drenched in mud and rain by the time we got back to Clem. I mean we were a mess. Clem was clean when we arrived. She isn't anymore. Despite my best efforts Koty brought the outside in! :)
So here we sit in Clementine waiting out the storm. I'm having some Cattle Drive Chili for lunch and it's damned good! Ok, and a little glass of Merlot just to ease the pain. :)
Eating out of a can isn't my favorite but I was compelled to pass along that this chili, IMO, is the best you can get in a can. I get mine at Costco.
I'm hoping this storm will pass as Bozeman has a Friday evening "Art Walk" and I was looking forward to seeing the efforts of the local artists. The Weather Channel isn't too hopeful but they are wrong as much as they are right. We'll keep our fingers and paws crossed.

Huckleberries-Montana Caviar
I'm not a big fan of fruit. I like it alright but if given the choice I would rather eat vegetables. So when I moved to Montana and heard people extolling the virtues of wild huckleberries the subject got a big yawn from me. When I found out how tiny the little dickens are and how long it takes to get an edible portion I was even less impressed.
Then one fall day Koty and I were out exploring around up near Terriault Pass in the Ten Lakes Scenic Area. As we were driving up to the trailhead we spied an elderly gentleman rummaging around in the bushes. I though he might be a huckleberry hunter so I stopped and went to where the man was toiling. When I asked what he was doing, sure enough he was picking wild huckleberries. The man asked if I had ever had them and I answered in the negative. He insisted that I try some. Well, I instantly knew what all the hubbub was about. The little critters are to die for, no kidding. even Koty gobbles them up.
I'm not a fan of jams and jellies either but the other day Costco had some huckleberry jam right their at the front entrance where they try to snag you into an impulse purchase. Snag me they did. I had not seen the price as low anywhere and could not resist trying a couple of jars. Oh, big mistake!
The product they were selling comes from a Kalispell company Huckleberry Haven.
So, for breakfast I decided to give the jam a test drive on my favorite toast Orowheat's Health Nut Bread. Oh, my! The term ambrosia comes to mind. It's really not like jam. It's more like caviar, lots of little berries, the size of fish eggs, with a little natural sauce.
You can have your beluga. Montana caviar is better by far! If you ever get the chance you really must try it. I can practically guarantee you wish you hadn't .... because you'll want more and it is a little spendy (a mountain term), but lots cheaper than beluga though. :)
When I was photographing the above I got to admiring my dining room table so I'm throwing that photo in too. Perspective is off but short of getting out a ladder this was the best I could do. I find that whilst eating the setting is just as important as the food.
So, set yourself a lovely table and try some Montana caviar. It's the bomb!
PS: Koty came through his little surgery like the champ he is and the growth was benign.

Brule
**
Brule, pronounced bru-ley is not a new Native American music group but it is to me and certainly is awesome.
On my way back from the Blackfeet Pow wow I stopped in at Montana Fur Trading and heard this music playing in the background. I bot the CD and forgot about it until yesterday when I finally cranked it up on my stereo. Oh my goodness what a treat.
The group has released a number of CD's
The one I stumbled on is called Star People. If you like things Native American and instrumental music I think you'll love Brule.
