Why I'm Not-So-Secretly Obsessed with Portland Oregon
When I was 16, I was a grunge-music fanatic. I went to many, many shows in NYC of my favorite Pacific Northwest bands (Hole, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, loved Nirvana but never saw them), and dreamed of the day that I would get to hang out at a dirty bar, drinking beer and wearing a flannel shirt.
I never got a chance to go until I met my partner, who is from just outside Portland, Oregon—and once I was there, I was hooked. I visited Seattle and Vancouver, as well as Eugene (Oregon) and I just loved the whole area. Especially Portland Oregon. The videos below showcase exactly why.
Summer Travel Essentials: Healthy and Natural Beauty on the Go
Lighten up your beauty routine for travel this summer, trading out bulky, heavy items for multipurpose products that will keep you feeling pampered and pretty, even in the heat and humidity. You can pare down your cosmetics and toiletries to the bare essentials with a few powerhouse products like castile soap, coconut oil, a good BB cream and eye makeup that won't smudge. Here are some suggestions for your warm weather adventures, along with a few tips for avoiding the face-puffing exhaustion of jet lag.
Travel Yoga: From Online Classes to Natural Practice Spaces
Starre Vartan does yoga on the California Coast.
The thing that I love most about yoga is how flexible it is; I practice to focus energy during the workday, to relax at the end of the day, and in the morning when I feel tight or have slept weirdly. I do 10 minutes of yoga to cool off and loosen muscles at the end of a good run, but can also rely on it as my workout on the days I don't want to run or cycle.
But I especially love to do yoga when I'm travelling (and, as you can see here, especially on beaches or near bodies of water). But also on mountaintops in the midst of a hike, or in a city park during a day of walking around. Not a full-on, yoga-outfit situation, but a few poses, ideally sans shoes, to just connect to the moment and the world around me more fully.
A group yoga class on the beach.
One of the best ways to keep up your practice while on the road (or if you are sojourning somewhere without a yoga studio or teacher nearby) is to keep a few podcasts saved in your phone or mobile-music device. And some hotels, like those in the Kimpton family, provide yoga mats and blocks for your room, so you can practice there or in their gym with your own mat that's cleaned for you. There's nothing like a focusing practice before I begin a day of walking, or post-flight (even five minutes of yoga before you pass out, exhausted, is amazing! It will help you sleep better and you'll wake up more refreshed).

This is my take on the Doryon Romper pattern from the Burdastyle website. I originally made these rompers for my sister but even after careful measurements and alterations to the pattern they still ended up too small in the body but luckily they fit me. I used off white broidere anglaise for the insert and neatened the neckline with bias binding. The navy cheap cotton fabric didn't make inserting the zip easy and I think if I did it again I would use an invisible zip for this pattern. I put the two buttons on the front just to add a bit of interest.

To extend the 'singularity' metaphor past its breaking point, remember that the 'edge' of a black hole (a gravitational singularity) isn't something physical, it's the distance from the center of the black hole inside which light - and therefore information - can't get out. For smallish (i.e. star-sized) black holes, the event horizon is close enough to the black hole that the difference in gravitational force over the length of your body is enough to kill you. But for extremely big black holes, the event horizon could be far enough from the center of the black hole that you don't even notice you've passed it.Someone posted this video on the holographic principle that talks a lot about black holes. It's mostly about black holes and information theory. Very interesting stuff. At the end he takes a question about what happens inside a black hole and he says that even light gets annihilated pretty quickly as it enters. I'm not sure how it gets annihilated, but it does.

Inside Charleston Parks
Insight from the Lead Parks Angels & the voices of the Charleston Parks Conservancy
What if your doctor prescribed a trip to the park? That's what one Washington, D.C., pediatrician is doing. Featured in this health story on NPR, Dr. Robert Zarr is encouraging his young patients – about 40 percent are overweight or obese – to start moving, and parks are a big part of that effort.
Seeds, pests in the garden, planning for fall crops and worm composting are just some of the topics you can learn about in our Educate You gardening series. Classes are free and open to the public.
The NRPA is hosting National Park and Recreation Month, urging everyone to get out and visit their community parks and recreation areas during July. This year's theme, "OUT is IN," encourages individuals, families, friends and coworkers to do something outside everyday that they would normally do inside. Here are 5 ways to take your indoor activities outside this month.
No gardener wants to see the fruits of their labors ruined at the hands – or in this case, mouths – of insects. But no garden is immune to pests. Read about common insects in the summer garden and how to combat these pests.
If you haven't been to Magnolia Park and Community Garden (or if you haven't been recently), you're in for a real treat. The garden is a sea of green with vegetables and flowers in full bloom. Check out some photos of these gardeners' hard work.

Historical Traveler Reviews Bearskin Lodge on the River Hotel Gatlinburg
Honeymoon with children!!!!
I loved our stay at bearskin. Although we were with our children, it was romantic and cozy. I highly reccommend to all! I was, to say the least, impressed.
Loved the view
We loved the hotel, and the staff was more than helpful with luggage,etc. and very friendly. The only negative thing was the carpet was dirty. I had my grandchildren in the room running around barefoot and their little feet got so dirty. But awe will stay there again because it was one of the best weve stayed in in Gatlinburg and weve been coming there twice a year for about 30 years. Karen Gregory
Just The Best for JamFest!
Just The Best!Jan. 3-5, 2003, I was sponsor of a Peewee Cheerleading Squad of approximately 20 and had to make accomodations for the girls and their families to stay in Gatlinburg for the New Year's Jam Jamfest Cheerleading Competition. I did some internet research, some phone calls and received a brochure on The Bear Skin Lodge. Tony was more than helpful and courteous to all of our inquiries. The lodge was absolutely all that I was told it would be! They were also so kind to barricade off an area in the parking lot for our Motorcoach driver so he could easily access parking daily. Now that is service! Rooms had great views, fireplaces and all the necessary amenities and we just loved our view of the river from our balcony. I only wish we had longer to stay and enjoy it. I would highly recommend The Bear Skin and I intend on staying there again Jan. 2-4, 2004 for the New Year's Jam Jamfest again. Thanks guys!
Love Bearskin Lodge
Our stay at the bear skin lodge the past two years have been great.The location was great and the service was excellent.looking foward to our next stay this winter for our third romantic weekend in the mountains. micheal and gracie adams
My Best Hotel Experience, Ever!!!!!!!
We had originally booked another hotel but switched hotels when we saw The Bear Skin Lodge on our way in. The rooms were extremely clean and well taken care of. The housekeepers were anonymous, and the staff was more than willing to help with anything. After we leaving we decided that we wanted to stay there for our honeymoon, so in October me and 15 other guests will all be staying there because we me and my fiancee cannot stop raving about the excellence of the hotel. I hate hunting and my fiancee loves it! The decor was well matched with the name but not so over powering that it made me uncomfortable. All in all this was the best hotel that I have ever stayed in, literally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks, Jessica Blakely
Great place to stay!
This is by far the best place in Gatlinberg to stay! Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly. You can't go wrong with this one!
Very clean with friendly employees, nice pool and lazy river. Nice decor, and, most importantly, comfortable beds. Every other hotel we've stayed at in Gatlinburg has mattresses that are like concrete slabs, but Bearskin is very comfortable. Also right next door to our favorite steak place in Gatlinburg, the Peddler.
Excellent Stays
My family and I have been traveling to Gatlinburg several times a year for over 3 decades. In that time, we have stayed at almost every motel/hotel there. As hotels age, they will usually have a corresponding decline in service/cleanliness and this keeps us moving around. Right now, the Bear Skin is absolutely the best place to stay in Gatlinburg. A nice plus is the proximity to The Peddler restaurant.
Great Place in Town
We don't usually stay in Gatlinburg, but decided to try this place for a weekend stay so we could go hiking. The room was great. Very spacious and decorated very well. The fireplace was a great extra touch! The only down side is that your view is of the hotel on the other side of the river, but I would still stay here again since it was nice to be on the edge of town (light # 10) and walk around at night after a day of hiking.
Love at first sight
Love the style of the motel. Rooms on the river are great.

Health group welcomes e-cigarette regulation
Deborah Arnott, chief executive of health charity Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) said:
ASH welcomes the MHRA's decision not to follow the lead of a growing number of other countries and ban e-cigarettes, but to regulate them instead.
MHRA regulation can ensure that adult smokers can continue to be able to buy e-cigarettes as easily as tobacco, but promotion to children or non-smokers will be prohibited.
– Deborah Arnott, ASH Chief Executive
Smokers are increasingly choosing to use e-cigarettes. ASH estimates that around 1.3 million smokers and ex-smokers were current users in Spring 2013.
Some of the e-cigarette companies are complaining that their products will have to meet medicines standards for efficacy and safety, but for smokers to be confident about the quality of the products they're buying such regulation is essential.

For oud master Rahim AlHaj, music is not just a lovely sound, but a tool to open the senses to the world's beauty, to open the mind to the possibility of peace, and to open the spirit to the guidance of love and compassion. He recognizes that music may appear to be a hopeless weapon against the harrowing madness careering across the planet these days—with particular brutality in his native country of Iraq—but he also believes that it holds the best and perhaps the only hope for bringing people together.
"That is what the significance is about music because it's always united us. It always brings us together and makes life really beautiful," he says. "As a musician—and as a human being first—it's our job, it's our duty to make peace to this world. This is not politicians' job, this is not police job."
This Saturday at the Outpost, AlHaj will shoulder the task once more—with help from David
Felberg (violin), Megan Holland (violin), Justin Pollock (viola), and James Holland (cello) of Chatter Ensemble, and Issa Malluf (percussion)—in a varied program of original music, including a new composition, Smai Hijaz. Continue reading

Children's Mercy Hospital renames its main campus after Adele Hall
Children's Mercy Hospital has renamed its main campus after one of its principal philanthropists, Adele Hall.
The Hospital Hill facility is now called Children's Mercy, Adele Hall Campus.
Hall died in January. She had been a major benefactor and volunteer for 50 years, including serving as board chairman and trustee.
Hospital chief executive Randall O'Donnell said the renaming reflected that Hall "could bring people from all corners of the community to the table to be involved in supporting the hospital."
The Hall family and the Hall Family Foundation have given tens of millions of dollars over the years to the hospital. A $50 million gift helped a recent building campaign.
"We think this is a wonderful way to honor Adele, and it will always remind me of the joy she gained from rocking babies here," said Donald J. Hall, Adele's husband and chairman of Hallmark Cards Inc. "After her own family, Children's Mercy and this community were her top priorities."

I also want to know if I can put a box around all the text in a frontpage section.
To further explain, I have some images I have as background in these sections and they aren't meshing with my text well. The text is getting lost. I thought if I could put the text in a solid colored box and vary the opacity os that box so that you can still "see" the image in the background the text would stand out a lot more. Thoughts?
OR is is possible to vary the opacity of the background image so that it falls flatter?
Thank you!
1. will require custom work. send me an email (using the contact form from our profile page) if u are interested
2. u can already do that in photoshop and using png's as backgrounds.
Hello, I love this theme and the work you guys have done!
Quick question, I've made new portfolio categories and tagged my portfolio posts with them, but the category buttons aren't showing up in the preview. Only the "all" button is displayed.
I uploaded the dummy content to see how you guys use the text and sliders and to see if maybe I was missing something with these buttons… but my categories didn't work before or after the upload.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
we're glad u like it
pls create a set of admin credentials and send them over using the contact form from our profile page so i can take a closer look.
Hey bud,
Thanks for the email, I've sorted most things but I just wanted to go into the CSS and add a media query to replace the background images with smaller versions for mobile, but can't find which file I need to amend! I can view the CSS in chrome (div class="bgimage bgwidth"...>), but I can't find where it's being pulled from.
Secondly, can you let me know what I need to change so that when you open up the info section in the portfolio, instead of seeing "Client: blah blah" and "Date: blah blah" I want it to say "Project: blah blah".
I hope you understand!
Cheers, Paul.
1. the background images are actual img html tags. thats why u can't find them in the css.
2. open mercurial/single-portfolio.php and replace "client" with project on line 73. then in the admin pages of the portfolio items, insert the desired text in the "project client" meta box, while leaving the others (date, url) blank.
Great, thanks man.
When I upload the theme to my wordpress site I get a blank screen with nothing, I than have to go into my c panel and erase the them files. Have you encountered a problem like this before. Is it possible there is a plugin that is messing everything up?

I tried the first 3 portfolio items.
Seems to work fine on my iPhone though.
we'll look into it
I just moved my wordpress to another url. Since then, the preloader doesn t work anymore. It s stucked on 0 on top of my website and I can t access any item below it.

Hello, few more questions, please. 1) Is there any possibility to remove the top menu which is visible on iPhone and iPad as "navigate to"? 2) Is it possible to remove the navigation buttons in portfolio pages when there is only one video and nowhere to scroll? 3) Is it possible to create an image for background in portfolio pages or it is limited just to a simple colour?
Thanks, Martin

Is it possible to create a page and not include it on the homepage?
This way I could have restricted membership content on a another page.

Aaron Rodgers injured his shoulder on Green Bay's first possession and the Packers were unable to win without him, losing 27-20 to Chicago.
Rodgers was sacked by Shea McClellin early in the first quarter, landing on his left shoulder. He appeared to be in pain immediately. Rodgers attempted to throw passes on the sideline, but instead went into the locker room with trainers. He was ruled out of the game shortly before halftime with the full extent of the injury still unknown.
The teams traded scores in the first quarter, but Chicago outscored Green Bay 10-0 in the second quarter to take a 17-10 halftime lead. The Packers weren't done yet though and came right back in the second half. Led by strong running from Eddie Lacy, the Packers took a 20-17 lead. But it wasn't enough, with Josh McCown leading the Bears down the field to regain the lead.
McCown, starting in place of the injured Jay Cutler, was excellent in relief. He completed 22-of-41 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns. He played well at the end of the game, including on a game-clinching fourth quarter drive that ate up nearly nine minutes and gave the Bears a 27-20 lead. Seneca Wallace was unable to have similar success in relief of Rodgers. He completed 11-of-19 passes for just 114 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
With the win, Chicago improved to 5-3, tying Green Bay and Detroit atop the NFC North.
Fantasy studs and duds
Chicago's offensive stars did not disappoint with Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery all having solid nights, including one touchdown each. Lacy was a stud for the Packers, finishing with 150 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Rodgers was the biggest fantasy disappointment, completing 1-of-2 passes for 27 yards before leaving.
Injury report
Rodgers' left shoulder injury was the main story of the game, but he wasn't the only Packers' starter to leave the game. Starting right guard T.J. Lang left the game with a concussion and was ruled out.
Marshall left the game briefly on two occasions due to an apparent injury, but returned to the game both times.
Did they cover?
The Packers opened as a 10-point favorite and failed to cover by a wide margin.
What's next?
Week 10: Chicago vs. Detroit 1 p.m. ET
Week 10: Green Bay vs. Philadelphia 1 p.m.

Efficiency evaluation of the Portuguese pension funds management companies
AbstractThis paper ranks the pension funds management companies according to their change in total productivity for the period 1994-2007. We estimate the change in total productivity, breaking this down into technically efficient change and technological change by means of data envelopment analysis (DEA-Malmquist index). The aim of this procedure is to seek out those best practices that will lead to improved performance in the market. The implications arising from the study are considered in terms of managerial policy.

King: 'I did not fire Diamond'
The Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, speaking in his first-ever live television interview, said that he did not contribute to Bob Diamond leaving as the boss of Barclays earlier this year.
King warns of 'black clouds' over British businesses
With some interesting thoughts on the British economy, Sir Mervyn King has warned of 'black clouds' over British businesses.Read the full story
Mervyn King: Barclays 'found Bob Diamond discussion helpful'
Sir Mervyn King has defended his discussion with Barclays about the then boss Bob Diamond.
He said that he did not "fire anyone," but that he simply re-stated the regulators concerns.
– Sir Mervyn King speaking to Channel 4 news
I said to them that I really wanted them to understand how concerned the regulators were.
Sometimes you can hear the message from the regulators and not really engage in it.
Sometimes it can be helpful to have a third party say 'Do you really understand how worried they are?' and I think they found that helpful.
I heard the concerns the regulators had and I wanted to impress upon the non-executive board of Barclays the regulators had real concerns.
Sir Mervyn King warns of eurozone 'black cloud of uncertainty' over British business
The Governor of the Bank of England warned that any recovery would be slow and that the crisis in the eurozone had cast a "black cloud of uncertainty" over businesses around the world.
"I think it's this black cloud of uncertainty which is hanging over British business as it is hanging over American business."
The European Central Bank's actions to support the currency had bought some breathing space, Sir Mervyn said in an interview with Channel 4 news.
"Now is the time that they have to decide exactly what kind of monetary union they want."
Mervyn King: 'Acceptable to miss debt targets if the world economy is slow'
The Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, has insisted there are "a few signs" of recovery in the British economy.
"The last quarter was down, I think the next quarter will probably be up," he said.
"I think we are beginning to see a few signs now of a slow recovery, but it will be a slow recovery, after a banking crisis one can't expect to get back to normal and I fear it will take a long time."
Sir Mervyn cautioned Chancellor George Osborne not to water down the proposals for reform of the UK's banks proposed in Sir John Vickers' review.
And following reports that the Government could miss its target of beginning to see national debt falling by 2015/16, Sir Mervyn said that would be acceptable only if the global economy was growing slowly.
Mervyn King: 'I did not sack Bob Diamond'
The Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, speaking in his first-ever live television interview to Channel 4 news, said that he did not contribute to Bob Diamond leaving as the boss of Barclays, saying;
"I didn't fire anybody. I had a conversation which I thought would be helpful to them [Barclays] in understanding how concerned the regulators were."
He refused to confirm if he had confidence in Bob Diamond at that time.

Natalya—a certified permanent-makeup artist and a board-certified cosmetologist—draws on 15 years of experience as she embellishes the faces that find their way into her Permanent Makeup Zone. While working in New York and Europe, she honed her micropigmentation skills, which she uses to subtly accentuate lips, eyes, and brows. Under her adept hands, lips receive soft outlines and sparse brows regain their boldness, which she creates with her soft hair-stroke technique and cauldron full of natural hues.
In addition to elective adornments, Natalya also obscures scars and beautifies clients who suffer from makeup or Crayola allergies. She also primps men by applying small dots of color around their lash lines, which makes glances more seductive without hampering their ability to blink in code. While she works, she uses sterile and disposable supplies—as well as and topical anesthetics—all with the approval of the local health department. She also performs an allergy test on each of her clients 24 hours before she indelibly dolls them up, to avoid adverse reactions.
Jacquelene Cutro, owner of Fringe Hair & Nail Salon, sculpts tresses with her trained stylists amid earth-toned decor. Guests can enjoy refreshments while relaxing in a waiting area furnished with leopard-print chairs and stately wooden shelves loaded with products from Bumble and Bumble and Paul Mitchell brands such as Awapuhi, Tea Tree, and Mitch. Exposed bricks provide a counterpoint to beige faux-finished walls dotted with metal wall ornaments and wood-carved mandalas. Light fixtures with stained-glass accents illuminate styling stations and full-length mirrors, which let clients watch as stylists perfect hair styles. Chemical services are available with Tocco Magico, Matrix, and Paul Mitchell products.
In Joanne Carovillano's 20-year hairstyling career, she's only taken a break once: she left the salon she owned for 15 years to work in insurance. Luckily, absence made the heart grow fonder, and she realized that hair was her true passion. She left the office, opened a new salon, and the rest is history. At Park Avenue Haircutters, she leverages her experience with all hair types to bring out the best in her clients. Joanne and her staff reinvent women's looks with cuts, coloring, highlights, and perms. They also gussy up male clients with beard trims and grey blending, and children are welcome to plop down in a styling chair as well for a trim or to turn their hair grey for upcoming adult-disguise hijinks.
Stylist Amy Bloodworth spent a decade honing her craft with Vidal Sassoon, Toni and Guy, and Bumble and bumble before she opened her very own Imana Hair Studio in 2009. She immediately convened a deft team of stylists, who mold manes with products by Prive, Moroccanoil, and Wella at minimalistic stations, each of which features a modern white chair, frameless full-length mirror, and mirrored table. In addition to sculpting 'dos with razors, scissors, and color, the stylists also beautify brides with up-dos, makeup, and tiaras made of borrowed, old, blue glitter.
Awash in the neutral tones of brown walls and gold-flecked sconces, Vincent John Salon lets the hairstyles provide the most flashy decor. The floor-to-ceiling mirrors display everything from bobs and curls to trendy highlights, all crafted by stylists who keep their skills fresh by taking continuing-education courses rather than simply holding blindfolded haircutting contests. Clients can also re-energize their look with powercell repair treatments and facial waxing as they relax in the fun, laid-back environment, which also hosts regular special events such as Ladies' Martini Night.
Sulis, The Spa at Melandre borrows its name from the healing waters of Bath, England, where throngs of people once flocked to bask in the rejuvenating steam of the city's natural springs. But though the focus on health and replenishment remains the same, Sulis has expanded upon the spa traditions of 1,000 years ago to treat clients to a host of modern amenities, as well as décor and healing practices borrowed not just from the ancient bathhouses, but also from around the world.
Visitors are first greeted by a stone carving of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and happiness, before they are ushered to lush changing rooms. There, they find stone-tiled showers that pay homage to the limestone aquifers of Bath, along with plush robes, slippers, and towels. From there, guests can head to the modern tranquility room to enjoy a cup of tea, listen to peaceful music, and inhale soothing aromatherapy, or they can skip straight to their treatment and save the unwinding for later.
Aside from pampering clients from head to toe, transformative services aim to enhance the health and beauty of hair, skin, nails, and spirits. Hair-removal services use natural ingredients such as a sugar paste, which removes hair in the direction of growth, or an antimicrobial botanical wax. Facials and body treatments cleanse and exfoliate the skin to remove dead cells, blackheads, and clothing that's been super glued on. A foot bath and warm herb neck towel prep clients for a Swedish-style massage that uses long strokes, various depths of pressure, and essential oils to knead out knots and improve circulation. Meanwhile, airbrush-makeup application enhances features for special events and daily affirmations in front of the mirror, and clients can easily replicate the results at home using Bare Minerals makeup, which is available for purchase in the spa.

PROVIDENCE – New research has shown that women reaching the age of 40 need to be vigilant about contraception, according to an article recently published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Dr. Rebecca H. Allen, of Women & Infants' Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Division of Research, was a member of the research tea,
"Despite declining fertility, women over age 40 still require effective contraception if they want to avoid pregnancy," Allen said. "In addition, the benefits of birth control outweigh the risk. Even for women with risk factors, there are methods that can be safely used."
Contraception should be used until a woman is assured she has gone through menopause, according to Allen. Menopause can be assumed after a woman age 50 or older has no menstrual cycle for a year.

Courtesy busing reinstated for some Lake County students
Updated On: Aug 27 2013 01:57:25 PM EDT
Courtesy busing has been reinstated for more than 150 Lake County students who don't have a safe route to walk to school, according to the school supervisor of transportation Scott Pfender.
Pfender sent a note to school board member Tod Howard informing him of the changes since the school year began.
More than 20 more areas will be inspected to see if they qualify as hazardous routes.
The Lake County School Board voted in June to cut courtesy busing from the budget in order to save money.
That means some 4,000 kids who live within two miles of their school have to find another form of transportation.
Parents voiced their concerns at a board meeting Monday, saying some routes didn't have sidewalks and were unsafe.
