I've lived in Portland for a few decades and love the inner Southeast Hawthorne area neighborhoods. I love the cafes in the neighborhood. Outdoor fun is nearby too. Kayak rentals and the river are about a 10 minute bike ride from the house. Come to Portland for Pedalpalooza, June 5 to the 28th ,2015. Or Sunday Parkways in Southeast, a huge community ride/walk in our neighborhood, usually in August.
Owner- Laurie purchased this house in 2004
I fell in love with this home because of the natural woodwork, wood floors, nice light, and vintage character. I already knew and loved the Buckman neighborhood.
People walk in this neighborhood. They walk by with their dogs and even some with their cats. If you like pets you'll get to meet them. 5 minute drive or 10 minute bus ride to downtown. Very bike friendly.
We had a fantastic Christmas in this beautiful home in the Hawthorne district. It was very comfortable and there is plenty of space for four people to spread out. Groceries and restaurants are near by. There are even a washer and dryer in the basement. Very reasonably priced. I would stay here again and highly recommend it.
We stayed in this house for five nights while visiting our daughter in Portland. The house is in a great location with just a three minute walk to a great bakery and a laid back neighborhood bar. It is also within walking distance or a short drive to the busier area of the Hawthorne District.
Our stay was during the coldest five day period experienced in Portland in many years. Despite that the house remained as warm as we wanted. The beds were very comfortable and the upstairs bedroom is huge. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the untensils you will need. There is off street parking for one vehicle and on street parking is very easy to find, usually right in front of the house.
The WIFI is free and worked perfectly.
Communication from the owner was excellent before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Portland.
We loved the house and the fantastic neighborhood. This is by far our favorite house. It is well stocked, cosy, and quiet.. We will be back! Thank you Laurie!
Property is well kept and clean. It has a warm and welcoming lived in feeling that you get from being invited in to someone's home. The owner is very professional and provides great contact. The only downfall of this property is that the beds were a little uncomfortable.
We had a very nice stay at Portland. The house was quiet, clean, very well located.
The beds are large and confortables.
The bus pass every 10 min right at the corner.
There is plenty of restaurants, bakery, public market on the corner, etc.
Portland is an amazing city and we hope we will have the chance to go back soon. We will of course stay at Laurie's house.
We stayed here with our 2-year-old while visiting friends in Portland - was great to be able to walk to Hawthorne but still be on a quiet street. The house was much larger than we expected - very comfortable and felt like home right away. The upstairs bedroom is HUGE, with more than enough room for a pack-n-play or crib for a little one. We spent most of our time hanging out in the living/dining area, which was also very kid-friendly. Highly recommended!
In the heart of Southeast Portland's Hawthorne and Belmont cafe districts. About equal distance from the Washington Park Rose Gardens and Japanese Garden on the west side and the huge Mt. Tabor Park on the east side.
5 minutes to downtown. Located a block from one bus line and 5 blocks from another. 3 blocks to the popular Salmon Street bike way.
Near Grand Central Bakery, Jam on Hawthorne, Cinemagic, and much more. Progressive, sustainably oriented neighborhood of vintage homes.

"This opened my eyes"
I started listening to this book one weekend, while I was hanging suspended ceiling in my basement. There were several times, that afternoon, that I found myself just standing there listening instead of working on my project.
The author helped me realize that my management style had evolved over the years and I had become the manager that I would not want to work for. His analogy of the frog boiling in water was me.
I have since made a conscious effort to become the manager that I was when I began my career. I revisit this book occasionally, to remind myself.

What Can I Do With All These Cherry Tomatoes?
Good Questions
Q: I have several Mexico Midget cherry tomato plants that are super producers right now. I'm picking a little less than a gallon every couple days. I've been using them in salads and eating them fresh like grapes but other than that I'm at a loss for what to do with all of them.
I would like to find a couple recipes that would let me turn them into sauces or chutneys so I can freeze them for later use. My main concern is that these particular tomatoes are extremely tiny (marble sized) and tart.

'Infernal Affairs' director tries hand at romance
HONG KONG He is best known in Chinese and Western cinema for sleekly shot gangster thrillers like the "Young and Dangerous" series and "Infernal Affairs" trilogy. But Hong Kong director Andrew Lau says he has left his comfort zone with a brooding romance about a Hong Kong woman and an ailing mainland Chinese police officer.
"A Beautiful Life," which will be released in China next month, represents a clear break from his fast-paced, visually dynamic work of the past, Lau told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Lau has largely stuck to the genre since the huge success of "Infernal Affairs." The first installment was remade by Martin Scorsese as the 2006 thriller "The Departed," which earned the American filmmaker his first best director Oscar.
Hong Kong filmmaker Lau has recently filmed the street car thriller "Initial D," the Korean-language romantic thriller "Daisy" and "The Flock," his debut Hollywood crime story starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes. Last year, he released the kung fu picture "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen," a sequel of sorts to the 1972 Bruce Lee classic "Fist of Fury," starring Donnie Yen.
"A Beautiful Life" is a different animal, Lau said.
"My visuals are typically very powerful. The rhythm is fast. The cuts are fast. This time I took a completely different approach. There are many lengthy shots," he said, pointing in particular to a five-minute-plus scene featuring lead actors Shu Qi and Liu Ye.
Shu's character, a Hong Kong real-estate agent who suffers romantic and career setbacks in Beijing, delivers a drunken monologue to Liu, who plays a police officer whose mental state is slowly deteriorated by a form of dementia.
"You are basically watching the actors give their all. I wanted them to work at it until they found the right mood. I did not split it into different shots ... This is a conscious change on my part," Lau said.
It's an approach that was much appreciated by Liu, one of China's rising stars. Liu, who starred opposite Meryl Streep in Chen Shizheng's 2007 drama "Dark Matter," said he enjoyed how Lau allowed the actors to maintain their mood with extended takes.
"This kind of story is built on accumulation. It is built on the slow evolution of the couple's relationship. From one to 100 - you can't miss a step. So it's especially demanding on the continuity of an actor's emotions," Liu told the AP. "Director Lau just let us keep going and keep going. He might feel that he has slowed down, but I thought the rhythm was just right."
Lau also took the unusual step of letting Shu make an early edit of the movie so he could structure the story from a woman's perspective. The veteran Taiwanese actress is now eyeing a directorial debut, so Lau thought the editing task was a good learning experience for her and was pleased with her effort.
"She is not just an actress any more. She knows how to analyze camera angles, the score. She knows how to analyze cinema," Lau said.

Twice as many people now seeking help with payday loan debts
Average debt of those in trouble was £1,657, up from £1,267 in 2011
Simon Read
Simon Read is Personal Finance Editor at The Independent. He edits the Saturday Your Money section as well as writing for the news and business pages of the Independent and i newspaper.
Tuesday 07 May 2013
The number of desperate people seeking urgent debt help after borrowing from a payday lender doubled last year.
Debt charity StepChange helped 36,413 people with payday loan debts in 2012, some 20,000 more than the previous year.
But there were not only more than twice as many worried debtors, the amount they owed also climbed considerably. The average debt of those in trouble was £1,657, up from £1,267 in 2011.
The charity warned that people are being left in a position where monthly repayments would leave them with no money for living expenses and push them further into a spiral of indebtedness.
Worse, the charity said it believes that the dramatic growth in the numbers seeking help is evidence that loans are being made to people who are unable to afford to repay and forces many people into an unsustainable cycle of dependency on payday loans.
In one instance the charity was contacted by a couple with 36 payday loans between them.
Delroy Cornaldi, StepChange's director of external affairs said: "These findings are yet more evidence of the scourge of payday loans. With household finances increasingly under extreme pressure and access credit far less available, many face the unenviable choice of using payday loans simply to make ends meet.
"While recent actions by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), including the revocation of a lender's licence and the proposed referral of the industry to the Competition Commission, are welcome news for consumers, there are still widespread problems across the payday loan sector."
However several promising signs that the battle to control rogue payday lenders is growing have emerged.
The OFT said it has now contacted the UK's 50 biggest payday lender firms it has identified had problems. The regulator investigated the firms over a 12-month period and published a damning report in March which revealed evidence of widespread, irresponsible lending and lenders failing to comply with the standards required of them.
It proposed to refer the payday lending market — where short-term loans are charged at APRs higher than 4,000 per cent — to the Competition Commission after it discovered evidence of deep-rooted problems in how lenders compete with each other.
The regulator has threatened the firms with losing their licence if they failed to meet strict new guidelines. A spokesman said: "The OFT has now written to all of the 50 payday lenders that were inspected during the compliance review. The letters required those lenders to demonstrate they are trading in compliance with their legal obligations. Any lender that fails to demonstrate this to our satisfaction risks losing its licence."
The OFT revealed that it has begun formal investigations into the practices of three payday lenders, although it refused to name them.
The regulator recently revealed that three payday lenders have had their licences revoked and one other has surrendered it licence since publication of the OFT's review of the sector in March.
But The Independent's own research on the OFT's Consumer Credit Register has shown that two more firms have surrendered their licence in the last two weeks, after being contacted by the OFT.
However one – Paydayloan.co.uk – still appeared to be in business last night even proudly claiming on its website that it: "has been around since 1998, making it the longest running UK payday loans company!"
The firm – which is based in Slough High Street - surrendered its licence last Thursday 2 May which means it has been outlawed from doing business since then.
The other firm which surrendered its licence on 25 April was Liverpool-based Anfield Cheque Cashing Centre.
The Independent was unable to contact either firm to find out why they have surrendered their licences but the OFT confirmed that the companies were among the 50 investigated by the regulator.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Jun 2012 04:32 GMT | Health, India
A series by Paul RoyIn the Narayana Hrudayalaya hospital's lecture room, more than 100 anaesthetists attend a conference in which they will get their first opportunity to dissect a heart. For this session, it is a pig's heart rather than a human heart - but the two are almost identical and the lesson will help the students better understand the anaesthesia process and its effects during surgery.
This is all part of Dr Devi Shetty's efforts to fast track young students, like Krishna Kishore, to become fully qualified heart transplant specialists in just six years. Elsewhere they would have to wait at least another five years before specialising.
"The whole concept is making them technically skilled surgeons at a very, very young age," explains Shetty. "Why should somebody [have to wait] to be 50 years [of age] before he can do this complex operation, why can't he do it when he is still in his thirties?"
Trainee surgeon Kishore is given the opportunity to assist Dr Sri Krishna in an operation to remove a growth from the lung of a 33-year-old farm labourer. Shrishail is the sole wage earner for his family of five, but with a history of tuberculosis and a diseased lung, his prognosis is bad. Without this operation, he may well die within the next six months.As Krishna makes the first incision, he tests his student's knowledge and imparts pearls of wisdom gathered over years as a surgeon. But three hours into the procedure, things start to look far more serious than anybody anticipated. The lung is so badly diseased that the decision is made to remove it.When the seven-hour operation is finally over, Kishore is left to complete the final stitches and contemplate the day's lessons.Fortunately for Shrishail, despite the problems encountered during the surgery, he is able to recover well.
For the course of his training, Kishore will work long shifts to build up his surgical skills, study at night and attend lessons during the day. This accelerated cardiac programme will leave little time for a social life and mean precious little sleep.
Meanwhile, after spending six weeks at Narayana Hrudayalaya, the Jain monks are taken back to their temple in Bangalore, where their rehabilitation continues. Only time will tell whether the monks will get back on their feet or if their days on the road are over. Either way, their faith will be tested during the difficult months, and possibly even years, ahead.
Fifty-seven-year-old American Brian Navalinsky has come to Narayana for a new heart valve - an operation that will be performed by Shetty. After his four-hour surgery, he is taken off the bypass machine as his heart beats healthily again. His friend who accompanied him to India for the surgery, Tiberius Almasi, is finally allowed to see him as he recovers in the intensive care ward.
For Navya and her family, who are still awaiting the final permissions for the kidney donation from her grandmother, the Hindu celebration of Diwali presents a rare chance to relax. But after attending the ceremonial blessing of machines and vehicles at her uncle's construction site, Navya's celebrations are cut short as she returns to the hospital for her dialysis treatment.But, with the myriad of government permissions secured, four months after Navya's grandmother offered to donate her kidney, the wait is over.
In India, an estimated 100,000 people need a kidney transplant each year. But just 3,500 are performed. Navya is one of the very fortunate few.

Take My Tonsils... Please! - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Max Merlin gets a fever and Alex and Zac are very worried. They send a doctor to see him and he tells Max he needs to have his tonsils removed right away. A tonsillectomy may not be a serious operation, but Max takes the situation very seriously. He checks in at the insistence of his two friends, but they are short on rooms and he has to stay in the children's ward.
Max is not happy about this situation. Especially when a little boy, Dino Messina, keeps pestering him. All Max wants to do is disappear, especially when Dino exaggerates the issue of a tonsillectomy by telling him that he will be taken to a green room with green people who bring out a big needle and snippers to operate. Before Dino knows it though, Max has vanished. When Zac and Alex learn that Max is nowhere to be found, they scheme to get him to reappear.
Zac takes out Merlin's most prized possession, his car, and lets Leo drive it, knowing Max would never stand for it. Sure enough, he appears in the park where the boys have brought the car to a stop. Alex tells Max that Dino isn't in the hospital to have his tonsils out like he claimed, but that he's a very sick little boy who may never be allowed to leave the hospital.
Max returns to the hospital, and later that night, he decides to treat Dino to a great wheelchair ride. Dino gets on Max's lap and they ride through the hospital to a magical carousel. Dino catches a gold ring before they leave to return to their beds. Zac and Alex bring flowers to Merlin to cheer him up after the operation and also bring him the good news that Dino is going to be okay. Max decides that hospitals aren't so bad after all. He got to eat lots of ice cream, received plenty of attention and he made a new friend. And, he feels a whole lot better.

Have a Green Christmas with Handmade Gifts
Northbrook, Ill., December 19, 2008 – This year holiday shoppers are getting crafty in a response to increasing economic hardships and a surge in environmental awareness. Craft suppliers and distributors of handmade goods are seeing an influx of seasonal customers.
An online poll conducted for arts and crafts retailer Michaels Stores Inc. says more holiday shoppers plan to spend their money on homemade gifts while cutting back in some of the season's most popular categories, including electronics, toys and travel. Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the survey of more than 1,000 people stated they were more likely to make gifts this year versus last year, and 41 percent said handmade gifts were the best use of their holiday shopping dollars this year.
Sue Blatt, co-founder of Renegade Craft Fair and owner of Renegade Handmade Boutique in Chicago, Ill., says she has seen a rise in green crafting, which she attributes to the growth of environmental concerns. "I think people are buying green for the holidays. It makes them feel good about what they're buying and giving others. Right now, some of our hottest commodities [in our store] are recycled book journals and birdhouses/picture frames made from old barn wood."
Web startup FaveCrafts.com, which offers tips and project ideas for every skill level, has seen a steady increase in traffic to their Christmas crafting and green crafting tutorials in recent weeks. In response to this trend, FaveCrafts.com is adding new environmentally conscious holiday projects and tips daily.

The school had academic struggles and did not make the State�s, �Adequate Yearly Progress� for a 5 year period until 2010. Following a leadership change the summer of 2011, the school has implemented cultural and academic changes that have resulted in an incredible turnaround in academic performance.
From 2010 to 2013, ESCS had the largest academic growth rate among all 21 Delaware Charter Schools according to the State�s Academic Performance Ranks.

The students in Concord's Engineering Design Lab have been participating in the Ability One Design Challenge since September. The challenge is a national competition among high school and college students to design assistive technologies that make people with disabilities more productive in their workplace environment.
The students took a field trip to Service Source, a non profit organization in the city of Wilmington that employs people with disabilities. Service Source teaches their employees the technical skills as well as social skills needed to work in a real job outside of Service Source.
After visiting the facility the students identified 4 jobs that needed assitive technologies that would make the employees safer, healthier, and more productive. The students split into 4 groups, each group focusing on 1 job and each group designed a prototype that we took back to Service Source for the employees to test.
Time studies were taken by each group to see how much more productive, if any, each employee was now that they were using the new assistive technology device designed for them. In all four groups the employees showed gains in productivity when using the devices.
Congratulations to the students in the Engineering Design Lab and the teachers at Concord High who support them on this awesome achievement!

If you like tools and equipment, then there is no better place to be in February than The World of Concrete. Held in Las Vegas, this humongous construction show fills three gigantic exhibition halls and four outdoor parking lots. For those of you who could not be there, I put together this 60-second video of the sights and sounds of the show.
The clips were taken at the main outdoor lot, which is where the most interesting action occurred because exhibitors and attendees were able to run the tools. As you might imagine, it was pretty loud because at any given time hundreds of the 55,000 people who attended were drilling, breaking, or sawing concrete.
This dual filter self-cleaning model can collect very fine dust without clogging.

Is there any hope for change?
The last decade has been challenging for people around the world. Zimbabwe has been hard hit because combined with the global recession the country was going through its own economic meltdown. Times have been especially tough all round and although people put on a brave face, there is a lot of disappointment going around. The normal man on the street has had dream after dream dashed and has lost all hope that things will change.
As we go around we meet these men and women whose lives have spiraled out of control. I met an engineer in Glen Norah last year. As we talked about his vision, he sadly shook his head and said nothing was going to change for him. He was an engineer, studied at the university of Zimbabwe, he lost his job and the recession and hasn't been able to find work since. He has put up proposals to start his own business and his idea had been high jacked along the way. He now spends his days selling at a flea market in the township.
It is difficult for one in such a situation to remain positive years after the flame of the dream has been put out. All around there are people who rain on your parade and it is difficult to keep the flame alight. It is difficult to reach people in this condition and tell them that there is hope for a better future. Life has taught them that good things happen to other people and not to them. It would be unfair to blame them, they have been dealt a hard blow at every turn in their life. They were promised a life of comfort and the finer things in life because they have been to university, but all they have are unfulfilled dreams. They know it all, have been through it all and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. What hope can you tell them about. What they want is a real break and not just promises of a better life.
After being told all the lies in the book it is difficult to trust anyone. They have been promised all sorts of things that are supposed to give them the better life. Even the church has propagated such deceit and it is difficult to trust even a minister of the gospel. The damage done is irreparable because a crushed spirit is more lethal than broken bones. Bones recover but what does one do when all hope is gone and victory is lost.
- Don't give up. The most important thing is to keep the fire going and not lose hope. Remember that every dog has its day. Today may be your day.
- Keep on trying. If one thing doesn't work, try the next thing.
- Stay away from the party poopers. Look for a good support system that will encourage you when the times get tough.
- Run your own race and don't get distracted by what others are doing. Look to others for inspiration, but don't let their failures or successes pull you down. Your race is unique, run it your way.
- Don't disqualify yourself before you have even begun. Take the chance, if it didn't work for someone else it doesn't mean that it won't work for you.
- Don't talk yourself out of an opportunity, it may actually work for you.
- Find something that cheers you up and gives you a lift when you are having a bad day.

Christina Aguilera Pregnant With Second Child (Report)
Christina Aguilera is pregnant with her second child, according to multiple reports.
The newly engaged Voice coach is said to be expecting with Matt Rutler, Us Weekly reports. The two met on the set of Aguilera's 2010 film Burlesque, where Rutler worked as a production assistant.
VIDEO: Watch Adam Levine, Usher Sing Each Other's Hits on 'The Voice' Season 6
Aguilera took to Twitter on Friday, Valentine's Day, to announce that she and Matt Rutler had made plans to tie the knot. She also posted a picture of the couple holding hands, her ring on display. The marriage will be the second for Aguilera.
Aguilera also has a six-year-old son, Max, from her first marriage to music executive Jordan Bratman.
The news also comes just days after fellow rotating Voice coach Cee Lo Green announced he will not return for season 7. While the pregnancy might suggest that Aguilera also won't be back come fall, the singer could work around the show's filming schedule, since live shows don't begin until weeks into the season. For example, Shakira filmed the audition rounds of the show's fourth season — her first — while pregnant last spring, and returned for the live rounds with her post-baby body.
Shakira and Usher return for season 6, which kicks off Feb. 24.
A rep for Aguilera declined comment on the pregnancy reports.

Canada is Also Not an Abortion Utopia, Unfortunately
Drug Companies Save Lives (But Only If There's Money For Them)
How Much is Too Much for a Root Canal?
Annabelle: What is a reasonable amount to pay for a root canal in NYC because I have to get one and HOLY SHIT
Ester: Oh no!
Annabelle: It is so expensive. Should I go to the suburbs?
Ester: :( :( :( You don't have dental?
Annabelle: No. we don't. [My boss] claims that dental insurance isn't worth it/isn't possible for small businesses. And I naively didn't put nearly this much into my FSA. It's $2,100!!!!
Ester: Oh wow.
Annabelle: Bonkers right.
Ester: Totally bonkers.
Annabelle: The economy of dental confounds me. Is dental insurance worth it? What is reasonable?
Technically Legal But In Actuality Not
Ok I Get It, You Can Worry About Cost Now, You Have My Permission
Andrew T. Gray is a physician's assistant who had often told patients not to worry about the cost, to worry about their health. And then he found himself admitted to the ER without insurance. OOPS.
How Drugs Get Priced (How to Pay for Them Up to You)
"Why does Gleevec, a leukemia drug that costs $70,000 per year in the United States, cost just $2,500 in India?" THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE YOU! (Actually it probably won't. Patents, is the reason, and This Atlantic article on drug companies and patents and the Indian government explains how drugs are priced and how some people are trying to change that and have been trying to change that for a long time.)
You Should Get That Checked Out: Some Considerations
1. High school. I've been getting my period for four years but it's never been normal, and I'm worried. This despite the fact that irregular periods in high school are actually more normal than regular periods in high school. I must be the outlier. There must be a reason. That reason must be cancer. Bloodwork. Ultrasound. Inconclusive. Everything looks normal, if it lasts a few more years, get another checkup. Oh I will. Cost: No idea. I didn't think about things like "money" back then, only HEALTH. (Paid by parents.)
2. College. Abdominal pain. Am I stressed? Uh, it's college? Time of my life? Totally not stressed, except about fact that this dull ache is probably cancer. Student health refers me to gastro specialist, who orders a colonoscopy. Results inconclusive. Pain eventually goes away. Cost: ??? plus my mom took off work and drove to my university town and booked a hotel room for my colonoscopy because she is a wonderful mother and then afterwards she bought me so much stuff from Whole Foods, it all must have been additional hundreds on top of that why are my parents so great I don't know. (Paid by parents.)

Jon Kiriakou: Obama's Abuse of the Espionage Act is Modern-Day McCarthyismtags: Barack Obama, Guardian (UK), McCarthyism, Espionage Act, Jon Kiriakou
John Kiriakou is a former CIA analyst and whistleblower. He worked for the agency from 1990 to 2004, including as chief of counterterrorist operations in Pakistan. In an interview in 2009, he became the first former government official to confirm the use of waterboarding against al-Qaida suspects. From 2009 to 2011, John was a senior investigator for the US Senate foreign relations committee. In 2012, he was charged with leaking classified information to journalists; he is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence in Loretto, Pennsylvania
The conviction of Bradley Manning under the 1917 Espionage Act, and the US Justice Department's decision to file espionage charges against NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden under the same act, are yet further examples of the Obama administration's policy of using an iron fist against human rights and civil liberties activists.
President Obama has been unprecedented in his use of the Espionage Act to prosecute those whose whistleblowing he wants to curtail. The purpose of an Espionage Act prosecution, however, is not to punish a person for spying for the enemy, selling secrets for personal gain, or trying to undermine our way of life. It is to ruin the whistleblower personally, professionally and financially. It is meant to send a message to anybody else considering speaking truth to power: challenge us and we will destroy you.
Only ten people in American history have been charged with espionage for leaking classified information, seven of them under Barack Obama. The effect of the charge on a person's life – being viewed as a traitor, being shunned by family and friends, incurring massive legal bills – is all a part of the plan to force the whistleblower into personal ruin, to weaken him to the point where he will plead guilty to just about anything to make the case go away. I know. The three espionage charges against me made me one of "the Obama Seven"....
