Recommendation for a visitor?
I will be in Portland next Tuesday/Wednesday for work and have all of Tuesday afternoon (4/29) free. I have never been to the city before and given that it's America's most bicycle friendly city I feel I would be remiss for not taking the opportunity to rent a bike and see the city the right way. Any recommendations for a decent ride or route? I'm looking for ~3hrs of riding. I plan to rent a road bike somewhere...any recommendations? I'm not looking for a leisurly cruise but neither am I the fastest guy out there. I live in Texas where it's flat and tavel around 18-20 mph here. Anyone want to spend a few hours on the bike with an out-of-towner?
Wow, how can you choose?
So...you want to take an afternoon spin.
First of all, make sure you bring weather gear. It's likely to be cool (40's or 50's) and damp (not the outright RAIN we had in the south, but you'll be wet if you don't have good outerwear). You're going to want to line up a bike in advance. REI and Gateway Bicycles are the two places I would think of. Assuming you have a rental car to pick a starting point, I would be remiss in not suggesting a Gorge ride: start in Troutdale near Lewis & Clark State Park, and then climb all the way to Crown Point. Check out the restored museum there, and then turn around and take a free ride the way you came. If you had just a little more time, I would strongly urge you to ride down the other side from Crown Point down to Multnomah Falls. It's the highest falls in North America, and there are always (literal) bus loads of Asian tourists taking pictures of it. The climb back to Crown Point is designed for Model A Ford's, so it's quite a bit of work but never too steep. If you think Troutdale is a bit far, you could shorten the ride by starting at Portland Women's Forum, or even start at the Falls and work westward back to Crown Point. There are some closer-in rides I could suggest, but they pale in comparison, in terms of raw jaw-dropping scenery. I'm not sure I could join you, though I'm tempted. We'd have to see just how busy my job is that day--but that's another advantage of the Scenic Highway ride: navigation is not a big deal. Good luck, and let us know what you think of the Pacific North*WET*! |
so are you suggesting a ride along the historic columbia river highway (~10miles w/ ~850ft of climb...from troutdale to crown point) or to ride along I-84.
Welcome from a former Texan. Those are nice rides recommended above, but if you want to see the city, I'd first recommend a ride along Waterfront Park, over the Steel or Hawthorne bridges to the Eastbank Esplanade and down the Springwater corridor, then a leisurely cruise through SE Portland, maybe checking out Laurelhurst Park, Mt. Tabor, etc. Then back over a different bridge to downtown. (Or reverse directions if you start on the east side.) There's really too many wonderful city rides to list here, so don't try to do everything in three hours! You can also rent at Waterfront bikes, and any of the places you rent from will have some suggested routes and maps, or you can check here: http://www.portlandonline.com/transp...=71971&c=34812. Enjoy Portland, and be sure to drink a microbrew at one of our bike friendly brew pubs after your ride.
if i start somewhere around hawthorne bridge and head south along the river to sellwood bridge, cross and then head out to Mt. Tabor and then back to Easbank Esplanade and back north along the river up to steel bridge, cross and then back to hawthorne. how long is this loop? would this be a good way for a visitor without a rental car to experience portland? |
None the less, if one has the time, a bike ride through the Columbia River Gorge on the old highway is well worth riding. |
Do not ride on the Sellwood Bridge!
You can cross the Hawthorne Bridge and either go directly to Mt. Tabor or (better, yet) ride south on the Springwater Corridor to Sellwood itself. The Sellwood Bridge is NOT a pleasant bike ride, whether on the narrow sidewalk or on the traffic lane. I really recommend, however, that you ride north along the river wall on the west side of the river up to the Steel Bridge, cross on the bike/ped level, and then take the Eastside Esplanade, which morphs into the Springwater Corridor. You would get some great views of the city going and coming. And there's nothing wrong with coming back the same way. This whole little jaunt may take an hour and a half, plus extra time if you want to stop and enjoy the river views and watch birds. There are nifty little restaurants and coffee shops in Sellwood, if you want to ride up the hill on Spokane Street to 13th and mosey around.
If a first-time Portland visitor has time to take only one bike ride, this is the ride I'd recommend. Believe me, you won't be disappointed, even if it's "misting" a little :) |
Oops, too late!
I just realized gilby was here last week. I hope he (or she) had a good ride.

Solia Digital Diamond Flat IronJennaBostonHairDark BrownCurly HairFine or Thin HairExcellent Flat Iron For The Price.This flat iron is unbelievable for the price. I have had two CHI flat irons over the last 10 years. This flat iron is WAY better. I was torn between this and the regular solia. I went with the digital temp control. This model is perfect for someone with thin hair, as you can control the temperature and play around with it until you find one right for you. It does not snag your hair and glides very smoothly. Overall, my thin/curly hair straightens in just 5 minutes and look sand feels far healthier than it did using a CHI.

Solia Digital Diamond Flat IronCassieHairMedium BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairBest Straightener I've Ever Had!Ive gone through 3 straighteners previously and this is the best one I've had so far. It actually straightens my hair, and in 5 minutes instead of 20! Its better and cheaper than a Chi! the only complaint is that it isn't great at protecting your hair from humidity, but you can't have everything.posted Aug 28, 2014Link to this post

Solia Digital Diamond Flat IronShaiHairNormal HairSeriously???I tried to like this flat iron, seeing how it got so many rave reviews. I don't get it...are these all first time flat iron users? Did I get a lemon?!??! I was missing the smooth glide movement through my hair, and even with the aide of a heat protecting serum, it seemed to make my hair look worse. I just couldn't. I returned it, and other buyers should be aware that their return policy is not entirely clear on returns. I only received a partial refund of my full purchase price because I received "store credit" because my item was opened/used as a return. No thanks, won't be using the store credit or purchasing from this website again.posted Jul 16, 2014Link to this post

Solia Digital Diamond Flat IronSueMichiganHairBlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairDon't Buy This Product!My prior Solia flat iron was great, lasted many years (still works), but wanted an upgrade. Asked for this digital version for Christmas. Three months later, on 3/28/14, it stopped working and displayed "Er 1" as the error code. Just like what others have experienced. There's nothing you can do with it. It just stops working. Solia should stop selling this product. Also, I found it odd that this product does not have the safety plug-in like most products have today. Worked fabulous, though, during the short time I had it. Very disappointed.posted Mar 29, 2014Link to this post

Solia Digital Diamond Flat IronElaine B.QCHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairGreat ProductI am really happy with Solia Digital Diamond Flat Iron 1 inch. At first I was not sure to keep it or not since the instruction booklet said the light would stop flashing when the temperature was reached and stay solid this did not happen it still flashed but held the desired temperature. I called customer service and the woman was so helpful and listened to my concern she said I could send it back no problem and they would send another one or give me my money back. That calmed me and since my hair was curly and I didn't have time to wash my hair again I decided to use the flat iron, it is light in weight, easy to handle, slides through my hair easily no hot tips so I do not burn my fingers. Stayed the same desired temperature right through use. And best of all my hair looked great in no time flat. So I decided not to send it back just for the flashing light.I highly recommend this product.posted Feb 7, 2014Link to this post

Okay, I had a bass-ass day, and just the kind that used to send me out of the courthouse straight to a pint or two or three of Sam Adams.
Sometimes women are not always paid the same respect as men are (believe it or not). You go to court, trying to advance your client's case, and you have layer upon layer of b.s. you have to wade through. It's as stressful as stressful gets. But when things are not going the way they should and it's obstacle after obstacle and then SEE YA, and you're driving back to the office as frustrated as one can be, "John Barleycorn" (actually, it would Samuel Adams) is just the fellow you are looking for, and I'm feeling it today!
But, I'm sitting in my office at the moment. I was kinda thinking the feeling would pass within a few minutes of driving back, but that was an hour ago. And wouldn't you know, that kind gal I complained about re: the sponsor issue had a left a message on voicemail while I was in court, which I found upon entering my car?! That woman has seriously good timing (it wasn't the first time she just happened to call at the right time). I'm going to call her tonight, dump on her. I think I'm also going to go find the closest next meeting.
Thanks for letting me share!!!

LyondellBasell said Sotragem's recent bid for the 105,000 bpd Berre refinery lacked acceptable commercial terms and showed no guarantee of a restart of the idled refinery.
All comments are subject to editorial review. All fields are compulsory.
Jean-Luc Rouby 04.19.2014
Since 2011 LyondellBasell does not want to sell the refinery, they want to close the refinery as they first decided in september 2011. At that time, there were forced (workers went on strike) to mothball the refinery.Since 2011, they changed the property of 17 tanks plus all LPG spheres from the refinery to the steamcracker. Hence the remaining refinery asset offered for sale was dificult to operate. Also process catalysts were sold.SOTRAGEM offer was fair in this context. LyondellBasell is now facing extremly high depollution costs (hundreds of millions$).
sunkanmi Jimoh 04.19.2014
For how long will a refinery be under nitrogen blanket before gradual loss of mechanical integrity. Cost benefits snalysis will have to come in for sound decisions.

A boil is an infection that affects groups of hair follicles and nearby skin tissue.
Related conditions include:
Boils are very common. They are most often caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. They can also be caused by other types bacteria or fungi found on the skin's surface. Damage to the hair follicle allows the infection to grow deeper into the follicle and the tissues under it.
Boils may occur in the hair follicles anywhere on the body. They are most common on the face, neck, armpit, buttocks, and thighs. There can be one or many boils.
A boil may begin as a tender, pinkish-red, swollen, firm area in the skin. Over time, it will feel like a water-filled balloon or cyst.
Pain gets worse as it fills with pus and dead tissue. Pain lessens when the boil drains. A boil may drain on its own. More often, the boil needs to be opened to drain.
The main symptoms of a boil include:
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider can usually diagnose a boil based on how it looks. A sample of cells from the boil may be sent to the lab for a culture to look for staphylococcus or other bacteria.
Boils may heal on their own after a period of itching and mild pain. More often, they become more painful as pus builds up.
Boils usually need to open and drain in order to heal. This most often happens within 2 weeks.
You may need to have surgery to drain deep or large boils. Get treatment from you health care provider if:
It is important keep a boil clean:
Your doctor may give you antibiotics you take by mouth or a shot if the boil is very bad or comes back.
Antibacterial soaps and creams cannot help much once a boil has formed.
Some people have repeated infections and are unable to prevent them.
Boils in areas like the ear canal or nose can be very painful. A health care provider should treat boils of the nose.
Boils that form close together may expand and join, causing a condition called carbunculosis.
Call your health care provider if boils:

This group is about making friendships with other 40+ people (average age closer to 55).. Dating may evolve from that, but we've found that everyone is much more comfortable to walk into an event alone when it's just about "going to meet some friends".

Iain is currently a Senior Fellow in International Policy at the Washington-DC based think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He specializes in global warming, international regulatory matters and sound science. He is also a Visiting Fellow at Civitas, the Institute for the Study of Civil Society in the UK, a Director and Co-founder of the newly-formed Anglosphere Institute, and a columnist for both Tech Central Station and United Press International.
Iain was born at a very early age in South Shields in the industrial North-East of England. It was late at night (he knows, because his mother asked him to turn the light on). On first seeing him, his father asked "What is it?", to which his mother replied "I don't know, but we'll keep it for the cat to play with…"
Iain grew up in South Shields, a cultural midpoint between Newcastle, where he attended the Newcastle Royal Grammar School, and Sunderland, whose football team he loyally if foolishly supports through thick and, mostly, thin. He went on to read "Greats" (Latin, Greek, Ancient History and Ancient and Modern Philosophy) at Wadham College, Oxford. While there he continually neglected his studies in the fruitless pursuit of glory at the Oxford Union Society and the Oxford University Conservative Association and in the ultimately successful pursuit of the lovely Kristen. To most people's amazement he emerged with a respectable degree.
Iain went on to work for the British Department of Transport. As a lowly functionary, he ran a Directorate's finances, investigated the possibilities of private finance for an earlier version of the CrossRail project, and privatized Railtrack PLC RIP. The DOT must have seen something in him as they sponsored him to get an MBA at Imperial College of Science in the University of London, but their singular lack of interest in promoting him somewhat took the edge off this investment. Having privatized himself out of a job, he fled the country in 1997, marrying his beloved Kris in Richmond, Va and beginning a new life in the USA.
From 1998 to January 2003 he was first Senior Analyst and then Director of Research at a small organization that examined how scientific and statistical information are used and misused by the media and public policy makers. One colleague described the organization as "the best nonprofit you've never heard of." While there, he was published in Encyclopaedia Britanica, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Spectator (UK) and many other fine publications. He looks back on much of his time there with fondness, but is very happy to be at CEI now.

Maple Roasted Acorn Squash
Acorn squash are still really cheap and after the success of the roasted acorn squash with green tomato and jalapeno jam I just had to try roasting some more of them. This time I wanted to try a sweet filling rather than a savoury one and since I already had maple in my meal, continuing the theme with a maple filling sounded perfect. This recipe is deceptively simple for how good the end results are. I filled the acorn squash halves with some maple syrup and a touch of butter and then I let the slow roasting in the oven do the rest of the work. The maple flavour went so well with the sweet roasted acorn squash and if you are a fan of maple syrup like me then these will disappear quickly! I served the maple roasted acorn squash with the bacon wrapped maple roast pork and they went really well together. Though I served them sliced with the meal the first night, I scooped all of the remaining squash and maple filling from the leftovers and turned them into maple mashed acorn squash. The maple mashed squash leftovers were even better the next day!
Maple Roasted Acorn Squash
(makes 4+ servings)Printable Recipe
2 acorn squash (cut in half and scooped clean)
4 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1. Place the acorn squash halves in a baking pan with the cut sides up.
2. Place 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/2 tablespoon butter into each acorn squash half.
3. Cover with aluminum foil and roast in a reheated 400F oven for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the foil and roast until tender, about 30-45 minutes.

Cahill looks to continue hot stretch in finale
Erlin hoping to impress in final outing of season against D-backs
Trevor Cahill has endured a frustrating up-and-down season for the D-backs this year. The good news for him -- he is ending it on the upswing.
Cahill lost five of six starts in June with a 9.85 ERA and missed all of July and half of August on the disabled list nursing a right hip contusion. But the right-hander has rebounded impressively since his return.
In his last eight appearances since jumping off the DL on Aug. 17, Cahill is 5-0 with a 2.64 ERA. That stretch includes seven starts and a relief outing on Aug. 24 in which Cahill tossed four scoreless innings in an 18-inning affair against the Phillies to earn the win.
Cahill brings an 8-10 record and a 4.02 ERA into Thursday's series finale against the Padres at Petco Park. The righty will try to help the D-backs win for just the second time in their last seven tries in San Diego to earn a split in the four-game series against Padres left-hander Robbie Erlin
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson talked recently about Cahill's command issues at times this season.
"I think he was better when he came back [from the DL]," Gibson said. "We've talked a lot, he doesn't really know why it goes. He gets rolling and retires 13 in a row and he just loses it. For me, especially the last time it happened, I got him out of there quick, but it happens quick so you have to be really quick. Our hope is that he can avoid that in the future."
Erlin has his sights on finishing his debut on a high note. In eight starts, the 22-year-old left-hander has a 3-3 record and a 4.34 ERA, and he is coming off his best outing yet, shutting out the Dodgers over 7 2/3 innings and tying his career high with seven strikeouts on Friday.
Since getting recalled to the Padres from Triple-A Tucson in late August, Erlin is 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA in four starts. He will try to help the Padres finish off their home slate with a win, which would up their record at Petco Park to 45-36.
"He's made some strides ... him and [pitching coach Darren Balsley] have worked on things for him to become a finished Major League pitcher," said Padres manager Bud Black after Erlin's last start. "He has really concentrated on the fastball down. Tonight, he did a good job of throwing the ball down and away."
Padres: Venable notches hit, scores two runs in return
Will Venable was back at the top of the order for the Padres on Wednesday after missing two games with an abdominal injury.
After lining out and striking out in his first two at-bats, Venable his a single to center field in the Padres' four-run fifth inning. The center fielder finished 1-for-4 with two runs scored.
"There is some discomfort there, but he can play through it," Black said prior to Wednesday's game. "Will wants to get back on the field the last five games, he wants to help us win games."
Venable is hitting a career-high .268 on the season with career bests in hits (126), home runs (22), RBIs (53) and runs scored (64).
• The Padres set their starting rotation for the final three games of the season on Wednesday. San Diego will send Burch Smith, Eric Stults and Tyson Ross to the mound in the team's final three-game series in San Francisco.
D-backs: Kennedy gets payback on former team
The D-backs traded Ian Kennedy to the Padres prior to the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline and less than a month later they shelled him for six earned runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 10-9 win on Aug. 27.
Kennedy finally got his payback on Wednesday. The 28-year-old right-hander tossed seven quality innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits, while walking one and striking out seven. Kennedy picked up his seventh win of the year and fourth since getting dealt to the Padres.
Kennedy struggled to a 3-8 record and a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts spanning 124 innings with the D-backs, but he improved to 4-2 with the Padres on Wednesday.
• Paul Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a fourth-inning double off Kennedy. Goldschmidt is hitting .417 during the streak with seven doubles, five home runs and 17 RBIs. It is the longest active streak in the Major Leagues.
Worth Noting
• The Padres hold the edge in the season series with an 11-7 record against the D-backs, including a 7-2 mark at Petco Park.
• The Padres need two wins in their final four games to match their win total from a year ago when they went 76-86.
