Huge win for the Oregon Dunes and coastal martens! Federal judge blocks commercial OHV permits and orders key habitat closures

Finally some accountability for our public lands and local wildlife! A federal judge just handed down a massive ruling holding the U.S. Forest Service accountable for ignoring the Endangered Species Act regarding the threatened coastal marten. 
Aside from shutting down areas like Banshee Hill and parts of the Umpqua Dunes, the ruling halts commercial off-road special-use permits across the dunes until the agency actually does its job and completes proper environmental reviews. 
Unbelievably glad to see the ecosystem getting some much-needed breathing room and legal defense.

The New Cameras on DeFlock Are Not Flock

As of recently, it looks like DeFlock is showing an additional 2 cameras. One is off of 101, south of California Ave., and the other appears to be on Brussels Street, just north of Ohio Ave. Note that the 2 new ones are Axis Communications cameras. They're normally considered general use surveillance cameras (these are tagged as ALPR), and normally use a NVR system or SD cards instead of going straight to a cloud service, although the system can absolutely still be linked to a cloud service. I think a lot of people are going to mistake these new dots as additional Flock cameras, and for good reason. You're able to filter on brand or operator in the site, which will allow you to only see the Flock cameras, if you choose.

EDITED: Modified the post to not significantly downplay the severity of the additional cameras.

No Issues in Iceland & Norway

I wanted to share a massive personal win from my recent trip to Norway, which also serves as some interesting food for thought for anyone dealing with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) or severe inflammatory triggers.

For years, I have mostly avoided restaurants in the US, only going to ones where I could be confident of seed oil free items. I'm sensitive to the point where if I ingest fried food or commercially produced salad dressing, I get an almost instant, brutal headache, followed by a severe HS flare-up that lasts for a solid month. Even non-fried foods with seed oils will cause flare-ups, just at a slower, but ever-lingering pace. Because of this, I've had to be incredibly strict about avoiding industrial seed oils back home.

However, I’ve had a strong suspicion for a while that the root of the problem isn't necessarily "seed oils" as a broad category, but rather the highly aggressive industrial processing methods used specifically in the US. I suspected that the stricter food standards and different processing methods in the EU might make their oils much less damaging to the body.

So, when I went to Iceland and Norway, I decided to test this theory. For three weeks, I didn't actively stress about seeking out seed-oil-free restaurants, and for the last three days of the trip, I actively ate local snacks, restaurant french fries, and other fried items. We ate out 1-2 times a day, whereas at home I only eat out once a week, and still sometimes get flare-ups if I'm not careful.

The result? My hypothesis was 100% correct.

Absolutely nothing happened. Zero reactions. Clean skin, no headaches, and no systemic inflammation whatsoever.

In much of Europe, commercial frying relies heavily on sunflower oil or rapeseed oil rather than the highly chemically-altered soybean oil ubiquitous in the US. Furthermore, Nordic and EU regulations on agricultural processing, chemical solvents (like hexane limits), and anti-foaming agents are completely different. They also tend to use naturally high-oleic varieties of sunflower and rapeseed that don't require heavy chemical hydrogenation to remain stable at high cooking temperatures.

It is incredibly validating to confirm that the exact same food item (french fries) is totally fine for my inflammatory system in one country, yet highly toxic in another, simply due to regional agricultural processing standards.

This is just some food for thought and I'm not claiming anything, just that I find it very interesting that I hadn't had any issues the full 3 weeks eating out in Europe (yes, it was expensive). Have any of you with HS or similar chronic inflammatory conditions traveled to Europe and confirmed the same suspicion?

Was this video recorded here?

I've seen this video pop up in Facebook a couple of times as it has a ton of views (Truth on the Streets), and just realized he talked about a slough, and mentioned "by the race track and golf course". While the Coos Golf Club and Coos Bay Speedway aren't very close to each other, they're two landmarks in a similar area near the slough.

Was this video possibly recorded in this area? It doesn't matter either way, I was just curious if anyone knows. It's an interesting home for sure.

I just came across a website where people can add the location of Flock cameras. It looks like North Bend has 4 mapped, Reedsport has 1, and Florence has 5. I haven't seen any others in the area.

I'm just posting this as a PSA for those who may be interested. Keep in mind, however, that these are reported by individuals, so I can't vouch for accuracy.
