A man used his walking cane to save his neighbor, and then himself, from a bull attack in Estacada Friday.
The situation happened around noon on South Cadonau Road. Firefighters said the 62-year-old victim was bringing his bull into a co-mingling area with cows in preparation for mating.
Emergency crews said the bull became upset, broke loose and trampled the unidentified rancher.
Fortunately, Robert Sullivan was already heading over to talk to his neighbor.
Sullivan said he heard the man yelling for help. He tried to get there as fast as he could, but after a recent knee surgery, he is getting around with the assistance of a cane.
That cane turned out to be an asset.
Sullivan said he started hitting the bull with the cane, trying to get the animal off his neighbor. Sullivan said the bull then turned on him and cut his back with its horns.
Fortunately, though, both men managed to get away.
"I was kind of scared, yeah," Sullivan said. "I was screaming like a baby when he was swinging his horns at me."
The man trampled by the bull was flown to a Portland hospital. Paramedics initially had concerns about internal bleeding, but the man's family told Fox 12 that wasn't the case. He did suffer numerous gore marks on his body.
The family said Sullivan may have saved their loved one's life. He will remain in the hospital for at least the next few days.
"He thanked me," Sullivan said. "I'm sure he appreciates someone coming along and giving him some help."
The Estacada Eagle provided initial details about the incident.

Albany Firefighters are wrapping up training on a new aerial truck.
It's now scheduled go on line next week.
Wednesday firefighters practiced using the two chemical foam tanks on the nearly million dollar truck.
Depending on what's burning, firefighters decide what type of chemical to use to fight the fire.
Captain Eugene Anderson said "There are certain flammable liquids that you can't use water on. The foam has the chemicals and the properties whereby you can smother the fire. Eliminating the oxygen."
Captain Anderson said for instance if gasoline were on fire, firefighters would use this kind of foam to smother it.
Water would only spread the fire.

A couple of fishing books for the summer heatby Willie Howard
When daytime temperatures reach into the upper 80s and the skies sometimes turn dark and filled with thunder, I like to fish early. I head out at dawn and come home in time for lunch, just as others are launching their boats.
The key is to prepare a day or two ahead for an early morning on the water, when seas are often calm and peaceful.
One thing I like to do in the heat of the day is stay inside where it's cool and read a book. That's where the time-honored tradition of armchair angling comes in.
Crack a book and you're fishing, in your mind's eye, for trout in the rushing water of a Vermont stream. Or you're reading practical tips on catching and releasing summer snook in Florida.
With that in mind, here are two books I'm reading this summer that others might find interesting:
* "Sportsman's Best Snook," one of the book and DVD series published by Florida Sportsman magazine. The author is Brett Fitzgerald of Lake Worth, president of the Snook Foundation (www.snookfoundation.org.)
You can learn a lot about snookin' from Brett's book, which covers fishing from bridges, boats and kayaks. It's illustrated with some really nice photos and includes a helpful DVD.
*"Fishing with the Presidents, an Anecdotal History" by Bill Mares.
Most readers will be amazed by the number of presidents who fish or used to, from the elder George Bush to Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Dwight Eisenhower and, of course, Teddy Roosevelt.
Here's a quote from Hoover in the introduction: "Fishing is a great discipline in the equality of men — because all men are equal before fish."
Stay out of the heat and lightning.
Enjoy a few books this summer.

Introducing Bangkok
Same same, but different. It's Thailish T-shirt philosophy that sums up Bangkok, a city where the tastes of many places are mixed into an often-spicy dish.
Full-On Food
Until you've eaten on a Bangkok street, your noodles mingling with your sweat, and your senses dulled by chilli, exhaust and noise, you haven't actually eaten Thai food. It can be an overwhelming mix: the underlying flavours – spicy, sour, sweet and salty – aren't exactly meat and potatoes. But for those who love full-on cuisine and don't need white tablecloths, there's probably no better dining destination in the world. And with immigration bringing every regional Thai and international cuisine to the capital, it's also a truly diverse experience.
Fun Folks
The language barrier may seem huge, but it's never prevented anybody from loving the Thai people. The capital's cultural underpinnings are evident in virtually all facets of everyday life, and most enjoyably through its residents' sense of sà·nùk (fun). In Bangkok, anything worth doing should have an element of sà·nùk. Ordering food, changing money and haggling at markets will usually involve a sense of playfulness – a dash of flirtation, perhaps, and a smile. It's a language that doesn't require words, and one that's easy to learn.
Urban Exploration
With so much of life conducted on the street, there are few cities in the world that reward exploration as handsomely as Bangkok. Cap off an extended boat trip with a visit to a hidden morning market. A stroll off Banglamphu's beaten track can wind up in conversation with a monk. Get lost in the tiny lanes of Chinatown and come face to face with a live Chinese opera performance. After dark, let the BTS (Skytrain) escort you to Th Sukhumvit, where the local nightlife scene reveals a sophisticated and dynamic city.
It's the contradictions that give the City of Angels its rich, multifaceted personality. Scratch the surface and you'll find a city of climate-controlled megamalls and international brand names just minutes from 200-year-old village homes; of gold-spired Buddhist temples sharing space with neon-lit strips of sleaze; of slow-moving rivers of traffic bypassed by long-tail boats plying the royal river; and of streets lined with food carts, overlooked by restaurants on top of skyscrapers serving exotic cocktails. As Bangkok races towards the future, you can rest assured that these contrasts will continue to supply the city with its never-ending Thai-ness.
Why I Love Bangkok
By Austin Bush, Author
Admittedly, there are some things – the hot weather, the pollution, the political instability – that make Bangkok a less-than-ideal city. But there's so much more that makes it amazing. I love the food. What other city has such a full-flavoured, no-holds-barred, insatiable, fanatical approach to eating? I love old Bangkok. Districts such as Banglamphu and Chinatown still carry the grit and character of the city that used to be. And I'd be lying if I didn't also say that I love new Bangkok – don't we all have a soft spot for megamalls and air-con?

Surface RT... Why?? I don't get it?
I finally had a hands on look at the Surface RT (John Lewis in the UK finally have them in).
I just don't get it. All I keep thinking is why?
Why the shape? Why does it feel like someone snapped off the screen on a 1999 gateway laptop and transported it to 2012? What's going on with key presses not registering?
In desktop mode the letters are pretty small and the experience with the pop up keyboard isn't brilliant (I can't believe you have to click button to make it appear btw!). Desktop mode on RT doesn't feel fluid but I imagine when processor speeds improve (I.e. on Surface Pro) that might be better.
To be honest it's not even the OS that bothers me (although I think it's anything BUT simple and totally the wrong kind of thing for people looking for a simplified computing experience). The thing that gets me about the whole project is that it just doesn't feel like a well designed device at all.
It doesn't give you the confidence that a fully metal backed iPad does. It doesn't feel good in your hand, it feels awkward. The 16:9 thing is just madness. It doesn't feel rugged at all. It just feels like another type of laptop, not a general purpose computing device. I thought it was meant to be a slim device? It just feels blocky and thick.
If the Surface Pro is even thicker, heavier and hotter then Microsoft are really having a laugh. I know I'm a bit shallow when it comes to looks etc... But your paying top money for these things and its just not nice.
Samsungs win 8 rt tablet felt better but the 16:9 thing is just weird and none of them felt as well designed as the iPad.
I think that MS being OS people have tried to make the OS sing and dance with the transitions and bold modern "cool European design" look. However, they have that syndrome that band members have when they make records. They always say "turn the guitar up" because they only focus on their own part, the part their good at yet forget about the whole balance of the record. W8 tries so hard to wow you that it forgets that people really only care about the app they're in or the app they want to run and how well that works. I don't care if excel slides in from the side if its a pig to use without a keyboard and mouse.
The star of the iPad is the apps themselves. That's what you show people when you demonstrate it. That's what apple spend time in their adverts showing. That's the whole point of it. I think MS just miss the whole point of these devices. Is there one person at Microsoft who really understands why the iPad is successful?
I conclude that unless your really have a boner for excel, they is no way on earth any normal person will choose this machine over an iPad. I'm sure it has its merits, and the colour screen looked vibrant etc... But the sum of its parts just don't equal something that is going to change the game at all. I really don't get why they didn't think this device through enough. Very strange ...

high moby
/hi:' mohb'ee/ The high half of a 512K PDP-10's physical address space; the other half was of course the low moby. This usage has been generalised in a way that has outlasted the PDP-10; for example, at the 1990 Washington D.C. Area Science Fiction Conclave (Disclave), when a miscommunication resulted in two separate wakes being held in commemoration of the shutdown of MIT's last ITS machines, the one on the upper floor was dubbed the "high moby" and the other the "low moby". All parties involved grokked this instantly. See moby.
