Re: Petaluma Man Believed To Have Killed Girlfriend Allegedly Kills Himself By Speeding the Wrong Way Onto 101

The 6-yr old daughter witnessed the assault and watched her mom die. Can't imagine what that little girl is going to have to deal with for the rest of her life. One of my kids was in her class.

Re: HOW To Make The Perfect Ribs In The Camp Chef Pellet Grill

Thanks for trying the recipe. This is based off how Aaron Franklin of Franklin's in Austin does his ribs. Of course, he has a real smoking vessel with aged oak. I tried to convert it to pellet as best as possible. It sounds like you might actually want to use the high smoke setting if the smoke flavor was too light. Every time I make this recipe (including last Friday) I'm always tinkering with it to achieve perfection. If the ribs were dry, try spritzing with apple cider and/or squirting with the sauce mixture again during the cook. The sole purpose of that is to add moisture to the meat.

There's a new law in many states that prohibits parents from naming their kid Grayson, Jackson or anything that rhymes with Aiden 😉

Nice! Glad to hear. Each batch is an experiment...I'm always tweaking something here or there to get the 'perfect' batch. Of course, starting with quality meat to begin with is part of the equation.

Yes on all of that.

After step 2 on your list I spritz with apple cider vinegar before high smoke.

You might not even need to do 2 hours in foil at 225. The last 2 batches I did :30 in foil face down, then :30 face up to help let the juices settle back in. I usually spritz the foil before putting the ribs in for a total of two times spritzing.

From there you can remove from foil and rest then serve, or remove from foil and sprinkle a bit more seasoning on and smoke another :20. Put a toothpick in to see how test doneness. I've been seasoning after foil (lightly) lately like finishing salt. It adds a little texture. Got the idea from a BBQ place in Austin down the road from Franklin's.

Hope it turns out well!

Re: Portland State receives fresh new logo update

rickbakas — Sun, 17 Dec 2017 02:11:16 -0000

I'm the guy who designed the old logo. I was taking classes at PSU and happened to meet the AD one night in the design department. He found out i was one of the designers of the Denver Broncos logo, and was the designer of the Oregon 'O'. So, he asked me to do the project pro bono.

The logo represents lightning coming off Thor's hammer. As legend would have it, Thor would 'scrape' his hammer across the sky causing lightning to come from it.

No idea who or what a Buffaslug is. PSU got almost 20 years out of a free logo.

You could. Depending on my mood sometimes I'll use French's mustard and other times I'll use olive oil. One time I did cannabis-infused olive oil just for shits. Some sort of glue can certainly help the seasoning stick better.

Nice! Always like hearing from fellow meat smokers.

Yeah, right around there. After 2 hours is about when I'd do it.

Re: How Sophisticated Branding Aims to Make You Rethink Cannabis

rickbakas — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:09:46 -0000

It's exciting to be part of the industry at this time for the reason you mentioned. It's a whole new wide open world with many possibilities.

I used to create brands at NIKE (Denver Broncos, U. of Oregon, Team Jordan, Battlegrounds, etc..) then left the swoosh in 2003 to move back to Boulder, CO to take care of my mom who has M.S.

On 7/10 my first branding project goes live. Look for Kalapooya Fire vape pen cartridges packaged in child resistant vintage matchboxes with the vape pen that looks like a match. Your article hit the nail on the head regarding where we are and where we're going.

Re: Following Colorado's lead on pot is a bad idea

rickbakas — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 20:17:24 -0000

Agreed. There are so many incorrect statements in this article it's no wonder people have the wrong impression about cannabis.

This article is incredibly misleading and meant to support the scare tactics used for decades. I would go through and point out every incorrect statement and support it with current data but it would take all night. Ultimately, it won't change the fact this media site is obviously anti-cannabis.

Re: “Criminal in Chief” — 78 Times President Obama Broke the Law During Presidency

rickbakas — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 00:34:55 -0000

Obama personally did all these things, or someone who worked for Obama? He's also responsible for global warming. And for Bruce Jenner becoming a woman. And for Conan getting booted from the Tonight Show. And for Kylo Ren. He also is responsible for every other bad thing that happened in the last 8 years. No one else—just Obama. Let's get him!!

One of the articles that apparently sent shockwaves was written by Alex Brant-Zawadzki of Huffington Post. That article was taken down by Huffington Post prematurely but not before it was republished with permission on WeedHorn: https://www.weedhorn.com/de.... You decide if there was any reason to take it down or not.

The headline advertises 'The Secret of Dollar Shave Club....' yet the article does not deliver anything remotely close. A better title would be, "How We Got Lucky With This Investment". Can someone direct me to a more thoughtful article that actually talks about how DSC scaled?

Re: New Rogue One Trailer Has All-New Footage, More Darth Vader

rickbakas — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 16:59:26 -0000

We're on the same page. I get that this is a prequel, and that she steals the plans which is referenced in Episode V. Where things get a little hazy for me is it *looks* like they destroy the death star in this movie.

So, is that actually an overlap with Episode V or is that a *different* time? It's been blown up twice, and the mega death star planet once. What is your opinion on that?

Re: New Rogue One Trailer Has All-New Footage, More Darth Vader

rickbakas — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 16:45:29 -0000

How many times can the Death Star be destroyed? That plot line has been used enough already.

You have the wrong date. I'm the guy who created #ChardonnayDay and would appreciate sharing accurate information. It's confusing to people.

Re: The Kardashians, Jenner Affect Pop Culture Relevance

rickbakas — Tue, 18 Aug 2015 01:55:37 -0000

This response is long winded and somewhat defensive. And it does nothing to make any of us want MORE of the Kardashians. It's a lot of "spin".

That family is a #kancer on our society. And you, the media machine keep them relevant which means you can end is. But you won't because you need page views, return users and all the other metrics your investors are looking for.

The fact there are multiple change.org petitions to remove the Kardashians from the public eye, including the one specifically aimed at R29 should send a pretty clear message.

BTW, I have unsubscribed from your emails, unlike your FB page and unfollowed you on Twitter. But since I'm not the target demographic it's no big deal, right? Go ahead and keep on dumbing down the world with the #kancer.
