My fiancee, Sarah, and I recently paid for an Amazon Prime membership, which unintentionally led to the purchase of an Amazon Fire Stick.

It was well worth it and I'll get to why.

25 special offer.

Much to our disappointment, neither our "smart" BluRay player or"smart" TV were compatible with the Amazon TV or the Amazon app.

Aftera littleresearch and not wanting to buy a new TV or BluRay player, we checked out the Fire TV Stick, which costs about

$40forthebasicm odel.There arevoicecontrolled and gamer's editions if you want to pay more money. The miniscule device is incredible.

Unless we were to actually want to use one of those bulky and outdated DVDs we still actually own, we have practically

no use for the BluRay player anymore. The Fire Stick simply plugs into the TV's HDMI port.

To power it, you either plug it in to a provided AC power adapter or you can the power cord into a USB port on your TVifit has one.

It is compatible with all of the video streaming apps we use and we have virtually no buffering or lag like we used to get with the BluRay player. Navigating between the apps and their menus is lightening fast and super simple.

The sound is somewhat dated, especially on"2 B Loved" or such moments as when grufFguest rapper Missy Elliott comes to play on the speedy"Burnitup!"

One piece of culture that stands out in Wallowa County is the music, especially that of the Wallowa Valley Orchestra. At 4 p.m. Sunday, the Wallowa Valley Orchestra will feature their opening performance forthe 2015-2016 season in Wa llowa at the Wallowa High School Gym. Entry to the concert is free and everyone is encouraged to attend.

Donations will also be gladly accepted.

WALLOWA VALLEY ORCHESTRA When:4 p.m., Sunday Where:Wallowa High School Gym,315W1st St.,Wallowa Cost: Free; Donations are accepted dent musicians who are learning how to play an instrument for the first time. One year, the orchestra had a minimum of 40 musicians.

"The concept around the orchestra is that students learning an instrument for the first time and adults who are picking up an instrument after a long absence will have the opportunity to play pieces that are specifically tailored for them and still have a chance to reestablish their skills," said Conductor R. Lee Friese.'This intention makes the orchestra as important and as meaningful for the participantsas itisforthe audience.

The Wallowa Valley Orchestra has been around for 14 years and was started by Friese, who has over two decades of experience conducting orchestras, including the Walla Walla Orchestra. Friese is originally kom Ohio. Between each performance or double performance, the orchestrarehearsessix tim es.

The rehearsals are open to interested parties who would relish the opportunity to see how an orchestra performs and who would like to learnmore abouttheprocessof an orchestra or how it looks to play certain instruments.

The Wallowa Valley Orchestra is hopeful that the event will be widely attended. Selections include Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro Overture, Smetana-Jurey's Bohemian Dance, The Blues by Richard Fote and Bizet's March kom Cannen. Again, the musicians

Before the main concert, a smaller concert will take place on Thursday. The annual Young People's Concert is open to anyone interested in attending, with a special invitation to homeschoolersand private schoolstudents.It will also take place at the Wallowa

School.

The performance will begin at 9:15 a.m. and will have fun interactive music activities for all attendees.

Fortunately forinterested students, this concert is directly aimed at students between fourth and sixth grade and will be interactive. It is open to any students in the GrandeRonde Valley.

At the conclusion of the concert, the students will have a special opportunity to march together through the musicians and their instruments for a close up look as they play the Torreador March kom Cannen. Friese is encouraging students kom beyond the county to attend, including students kom Imbler and Elgin.

The reason for the Young People's Concert is to encourage students in that age bracket to play an instrument and to get excited

about music, particularly classical music by making the performance interactive and fun with audience participation, Friese said. This particular concert is expected to be a lively event.

The Wallowa Valley Orchestra is attached to Building Northwest Musicians, the Inland Northwest Orchestra, as well as the Northwest Corale Orchestra.

Frieseoversees allof these orchestras.

Inland Northwest Musicians was founded in 1999 and has performed approximately300 concerts in towns and cities as small as Lostine or as big as the Tri-Cities, Washington in 155 different communities.

The purpose for the large number of concerts,according toFriese, is that many of the smaller populations in towns are underserved by the arts community, especially in the musical area.

The organizations above are filling the need for classical music and other music in small communities while giving people the opportunity to get involved and play an instrument, which provides a great opportunity for the entire community to get behind a worthy cause.

''We'vediscussed itasa program, the theater department, but had never felt like we could afford it," Wheeler said.'We just decidedtogive ita shot.Students pay activity fees and then ifor usl to charge iticket prices) over and abovethatseemed unfair.W e decidedtotry itthisyear and see what happens."

Wheeler said if revenue decreases then it couldn't continue, but he said he's excited for the prospect.

The theater department hopes students will see this new perk as an opportunity to take in more performances than they might otherwise if they had to purchase ticketsatthe discounted rate normally offered them, according to a press release from EOU. Alan Stogin, who moved from Washougal, Washington, to pursue a double major in theater and music at EOU, said dropping the admission charge will "make being a broke college student more fun."

"I love that we are offering free tickets to students this year," he added. "I think it will allow a whole new crowd to come out and enjoy the evening with a show."

W heeler said thetheaterclass

students are required to go to the productions.

Students need to present their current EOU ID card at the theater box offlce in Loso Hall to receivea freeticket.Reservations are recommended.

JOSEPH — This month's Josephy Center exhibition is all about the beautiful and historic barns in the Grande Ronde Valley.

"Barns in the Rural Landscape" showcases barns in all different mediums of art, including photography.

JanieTippett,a localphotographer, has spent decades photographing barns in the Wallowa County area. Some ofher photographs will be on display for the next month.

Tippett said herfascination with barns transcends from her childhood where she grew up in Northern California on a ranch.

"Up here, (in Wallowa County) the area is rich in old barns, many of which are gone," Tippett said.

"I have a nostalgic fascinations with 4arnsl. I love them because they're an art form for me."

The Josephy Center wants to show the rural living of the area.

"Barns are at the very essence of rural living and its rolling landscape," according to a press release from the Josephy Center. ''Wallowahas a number ofbarns

There's a massive amount of area to explore with rural living, she said.

The exhibition has local barns and local artists bringing the image to those who wish to see them in a spectrum of different ways.

Tippett, who self-taught herself in photography, has been taking photos since she was 5 years old.

Despite calling herself an "amateur photographer," she has been printed in local calendars and was a columnist for more than 30 years in a publication out of Pendleton.

"I love Wallowa County, and I have recorded it in writing and photography," she said."I was a columnist for 31 years and just recently retired from that. Janie's Journal, about life on a ranch,

The exhibition will run in the Josephy Center until Nov. 11.

The Center's hours are from noon to4 p.m.,Monday through Saturday. Many of the pieces on exhibit are for sale. This exhibit has been made possible with the support of the Oregon Cultural Trust.

Now in production at the Schwarz Theatre at Eastern Oregon University is a new, whodunit comedy called "Death

by Design" written by one of the greatest English writers of all time, Rob Urbinati, and directed

by EOU theater major Saajan Chauhan.

The show runs Oct. 29, 30, and 31 at 7 p.m.

First premiered in Houston in 2011,"Death by Design" is hailed as a delightful blend of the witty Noel Coward and the deductive intricacies of an Agatha Christie plot.

The play is set in 1932 during a weekend in an English country manor.

Edward Bennett, an arrogant playwright (Kenn Wheeler), and his elegant and fragile actress wife Sorel Bennett (Victoria Ingram) fl ee London and head to their Cookham manor after a row between them over disastrous reviews of opening night.

The disgruntled lovebirds try to find refuge in their vacation manor which is maintained by the resident maid Bridgit (Steven Stanford)and a chauffeur named

Jack (Sam Shown).

However, the manor's intended

privacyisinterrupted by colorful guests, and the comic farce begins.

Among them is a smug and conservative politician by the name of Walter Pearce (Caleb Hulseyl, a fiery socialist named Erica (Maria Stadlerl who just escaped from an insane asylum, an artistic Bohemian dancer named Victoria Van Roth (Sierra Reagan), and a shy and nearly blind woman named Alice (Cassandra Johnson). Each of them has a long-held secret.

When one of the guests is found lifeless on the sofa, and the group learns that the telephone wire has been mysteriously snipped,it'sthe authoritative Bridgit, who leads in solving the crime.

"Bridgit is already such an authority figure in the play that I had to find a very authoritative female, but I couldn't find a female, so I found a male that had a similar passion for authority, and I cast him instead," said Chauhan."But he's going to be playing a woman, which is a giant joke in the play, too. Here's this obscure male trying his best to play a woman. There are a few parts where he breaks, and you

"Death by Design" will begin at the SchwarzTheatre at Eastern Oregon University on Oct. 29. Directed by Saajan Chauhan, this production takes place in 1932. can hear his manly voice — it's allpartofthecomedy."

In true Agatha Christie style, the processofdeduction begins and each character, once cleared of the murder, naturally becomes suspicious of the others. Fingers are pointing, tension builds and the comic lampoonery flourishes.

'The play is less a murder mystery and more a comedy," Chauhan said."This is a good, old fashioned comedy with lots of humor and lots of laughs.

The moment you walk into my domain, the theater, you're going to forget about your life and forget about your past and just be in this domain that I've created.

You'll be pulled along with this story in which every single joke is followed by another joke and another joke. You'll be constantly laughing."

The lead comic role is Edward,

played by Kenn Wheeler, and he has so many well written lines that Chauhan described as "beautiful one-liners and jokes that are repeated throughout the

play."

Edward, his wife Sorel and their manor caretakers Bridgit the maid and Jack the chauffeur are among the first characters introduced in the play.

"They all have this love-hate relationship where they trust each other and at the same time distrust each other half the time," Chauhan said."Those four charactershave very contradictory relationships."

Audiences will be convinced that the weapon in "Death by Design" is really laughter, as the thickening plot keeps them chuckling with wildly colorful characters, merciless puns and other comic gems.

Documentaries during Thursday Art Night

Art-related documentaries come to the Eltrym Theater in Baker City every month — but there is only one chance to catch the showing on the big screen.

The occasionis called Thursday Art Night, and it was founded by the Baker Art Guild eightyears ago.

TAN is held the last Thursday of the month. The next is Oct. 29 and the film isuLevitated Mass."

The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with live storytelling, when a member of the audience shares a story on a topic related to the film.

The documentary begins at 7 p.m.

Admission is $6 adults and $4for students and seniors.

Proceeds benefit a different local organization each month.

October's feature film,"Levitated Mass,"is about a boulder that was moved 105 miles fiom Riverside, California, to the Los Angeles County Museum ofArt. This isn't justyour average rock — the chunk of granite is 150 million years old, stands 21 feet high and weighs 340 tons.

It took 11 days to transport on a 206-wheeledtrailer,andcost$10 million.

The rockis known asuLevitated Mass."

Here is the story, fiom the film's website:" Levitated Mass'is one of the only pieces of art in recent history to inspire such a reaction in pop culture, b~ to g ether the art community, public offlciais, and the generalpopulation to debate the

merits and pitfalls of a giant stone suspended above their heads."

All this controversy over a rock, which we have in multitude in Eastern Oregon?

Brian Vegter, who facilitates TAN, addressesthatreaction.

"It's more than that,"he says, pointing out that some people in LA may never leave their city to find a rock this size in nature.

The topic is about"how you bring the outside world to people who don't leave where they live,"he says.

And TAN is doingjust thatbringing the outside world to Baker

He said the film about Nevada's Burnirg Man Festival brought in the secondlargestaudienceforallof TAN's films.

Some of the documentaries shown atTAN are available to check out at the Baker County

Public Library.

'The films have been very diverse in their subject matter and style," Vegter said."Each one is so different."

CNET: Bestlaptops of 2015 These are the laptops that are our personal favorites of this year, because of style, power, value or just because we like them.

APPLE MACBOOK PRO WITH RETINA DISPLAY (13-INCH, 2015) CNET rating:4.0 stars out of 5 (Excellent) The good:Apple adds new Intel CPUs, faster memory, longer battery life and its new Force Touch trackpad to the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro, which keeps its generous selection of ports.

The bad:The 2015 updates make only a minor difference to the hands-on experience, while similar high-end 13-inch laptops continue to get thinner and lighter.

The cost:$1,179.89 to $1,399.99 The bottom line:While the 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.

DELL XPS 13 (2015, NON-TOUCH) CNET rating:4.0 stars out of 5 (Excellent) The good:Dell's revamped XPS13 has a nearly borderless display, a very small body for a13-inch laptop and the latest Intel CPUs. Battery life in this lower-end configuration gets a big boost.

The bad:Dropping the higher-resolution screen and edge-to-edge glass overlay means the look is not as slick, and losing touch makes Windows 8 harder to use.

The cost:$889.00 The bottom line:Taking a second look at the new XPS 13, this lower-end version costs less and has better battery life, but isn't as tightly designed.

LENOVO LAVIE Z CNET rating:4.0 stars out of 5 (Excellent) The good:The Lenovo LaVie Z is incredibly light, with a powerful processor and a decent set of ports and connections.

The bad:It's more expensive than other premium slim laptops, battery life is merely OK, and a frustrating keyboard makes typing a pain.

The cost:$1,239.99 to $1,259.82 The bottom line:Despite a few design quirks that make it feel less than premium, the Lenovo LaVie Z can't be beat for a combination of light weight and processor power.

(thewirecutter.com), a website I trust.

The C7 transmits on two Wi-Fi bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The 2.4 GHz band has better range but can be interrupted by other routers and household items like a microwave.

The 5 GHz band does not have as long a range, but it's much fasterifyourdevice can use it.

The C7 also uses the fastest

802.11acversion ofW i-Fi. Of course, the problem could be with the laptop. You can try other devices with your existing Wi-Fi to see if the network acts differently.

Try logging into your Wi-Fi with a smartphone ortabletand seeif the range is any better. If the problem is with your laptop, I'd suggest a tripto theAppleStoreto seeif they can determine whether your laptop's Wi-Fi is working correctly.

Apps of the week Our favorite Android, iOS, and Windows phone spps of the week

Android CLOUDCAL CloudCal is a unique calendar app because it visualizes your day with what are called "Magic Circles," and they actually do a pretty solid job of quickly informing you of what's on the docket.

At the same time, the app is simple looking and very user friendly.(Free, in app features $2.49 each)

iOS OVERCAST Ifyou like podcasts, get excitedbecause one the best apps for listening to podcasts is now free.

A recent update to the alreadyimpressive app also added the ability to stream an episode without downloading it first, and a feature that ups the sound quality of a podcast will workon streamed or downloaded files.

The 2.0version of the app also supports chapters and pulls in recommendations from real people.(Free)

Windows Phone TRUECALLER In it's most simple form, Truecaller is a call-blocking app. Normally that's nothing special, but this app brings with it a network of users on Windows Phone, Android and iOS. And all of the more than 150 million users (globally) hate obnoxious phonecalls,which means their community-based spam list is pretty darn good.(Free) Source: Gizmodo.com

Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:Mamacita's, 2003 Fourth St., La Grande WHAT I ORDERED:Onion rings THE VERDICT:Our company recently had a party at Mamacita's near Adams Avenue on Fourth Street last week. Every time I go to Mamacita's I've gotten into the habit of substituting out the french fries for the onion rings.

My reason for doing this is that the onion rings have very little batter on them.

Usually onion rings can be messy and can come apart with each bite.

The onion rings at Mamacita's are crispy and thin, easy to munch and stay in one piece.

If the side wasn't enough, the main attraction on the dish, the teriyaki burger, was very tasty. You can always count on Mamacita's to have great tasting sandwiches.

The meat was juicy and the teriyaki and pineapple gave the burger a tangy kick.

The vegetables were crisp on top.

Overall, the meal I had was splendid and I would recommend the teriyaki burger with onion rings.

Marinades work great with steak and will enhance the taste role in the moistness, flavor, and caramelizing effect of the grill.

Oil marinades will greatly enhance the moistness of most leaner grass-fe dbeefsteaks.They aregreat for long, slow, refiigerated marinatlng.

Many times, an oil marinade, can be left on your steaks for three to ive days orm oreunder refiigeraf tion, all the time making your steak m ore avorf fl ulandtender.

Consider an herb oil usually with very little or no salt.

Ifyou like a bit more spice you can add dried chilies, Forest Fire Spice or Southwest Sear Spice or

use chili oil in the preparation. Another good herb marinade is made simply with an oil ofyour choice and Italian Roast Rub seasoning blend.

Be creati ve,beexperimental.

Take your steaks kom the rekigerator about 30m inutesbefore grilling. Use a rubber spatula to remove the excess oil kom the steaks.

Season with salt and additional pepper if desired. Grill to desired doneness and enjoy.
