New patella break patient
May 27, 2012, 06:13:02 PM »
On March 1st I broke my left patella in two places and shattered some bone into pieces and also fractured both wrists.I fell onto a metal sign support that workmen had discarded on the pavement. as I tried to get passed it I tripped and fell onto it. Ouch!
In hospital I was put into a full leg plaster and 2 arm casts. The surgery for my knee took place 2 days later, with standard wiring and figure 8 band/mesh. I was discharged on elbow crutches 2 days later and told I was FWB. I was given no other guidance or information.
At 6 weeks I was re xrayed and told the bone was healingand put into a full hinged leg brace set at 30 degrees. The consultant said not to wear it at home but in the car and when out. I started PT at 8 weeks, given SLRs and passive quad strengthening. By now my wrists were almost fine. At 10 weeks the brace was moved to 60 degrees.Why I thought? Nobody told me what to do to get there and my leg was just so stiff. My RoM under torture
was 45 degrees. My leg brace is a nightmare and slides down. My leg is too small for the brace and makes me stiff legged so I have stopped wearing it which is easier.Since I only get fortnightly sessions with the NHS,i go to a weekly private PT who massages my leg, gives me moral support and is trying to improve my gait. My NhS physio said on Friday that she will refer me to hydrotherapy.
Next week I have my 12 week appt with my consultant. I have no idea what to expect since I feel my progress is so slow and it is so depressing spending a lot of time in isolation. My ROM is about 75 degrees this week but I have been told this is ok at this stage? I have a holiday booked in August and dont feel that I will make it. Can anyone give me any ideas of my likely progress? My holiday was to be walking in Andalusia. I know walking will be out but will I be fit to do some sightseeing and swimming?
Does anyone have any advice for me? I cant believe this has happened. I took early retirement at Xmas to enjoy my free time! This has been mainly pain and la sense of isolation. Friends and family seem to think I should be Ok by now and seem surprised that I still need lifts etc.I sense they think I wont get any better and get looks of sympathy.It is driving me mad!!

A broken knee cap is no fun to recover from. It's a long and slow road to travel for sure. You seem to be about where you should be in your recovery. With this injury, if all goes well and you have no set backs you can expect to be pretty close to 100% again in about a years time from when you had your surgery. Unfortunately, many people have set backs and then recovery can take longer. I was one of those people. It took me about 2 years to get back to a point where I could pretty much do most things I could before my accident. I am currently 3 years out and just within the past couple of months my knee has started to feel normal again. Meaning the tightness in it and occasional pains and aches are pretty much all gone now.
As for people seeming to think you should be ok by now. That's something we all have gone through. Unless someone has suffered through this type of injury they have absolutely no clue what's going on. This is not a typical fracture where it heals in a few months and you are good to go again. Sure with this fracture, the bone will heal in 3 months, but then you are looking at many months of rehab. People don't understand what happens to a leg when it is immobilized for a month. They don't understand how you lose your ROM and your muscles atrophy to the point that they can barely support your body weight when you get out of your immobilizer or cast. The certainly don't understand how long it takes to get that ROM back and to get those muscles back to normal strength. They don't understand that we basically have to learn to walk again! They also don't understand how frustrating it is for us to be going through it. It's not like we want to be in the situation we are in and are enjoying trying to get back to normal! I got so sick and tired of people making comments about my knee and how long it was taking me to recover that I actually got short and down right rude to many of them when the kept making those comments. Most of them got the point and stopped making those comments. Sometimes you just got to tell them you don't want to talk about it anymore, to stop asking you about it and to stop making comments about it. If you have to be rude or mean to drive that point home then so be it. That's usually about the time they start to figure out just how frustrating things may be for you.
Good luck in your recover, and remember, recovering from this injury is a marathon and not a sprint. It's going to take time. You're going to have good days and you're going to have bad days. When you have a bad day you have to try and not let it get you down. You have to realize that this is normal for recovering from this injury, take it with a grain of salt and realize that tomorrow will probably be a better day.....

lostpirate could not tell you better: this is a serious injury, not for the fracture itself, but for the time you need to recover strength and ROM.
my experience: been for 7 months with the pins and wires in both patellas (I shattered both knees and broke my right femur). Until the hardware was removed, could neither walk easily nor recover some strength on my legs, even though I was on PT and swimming every day.
hope this does not discourage you, but be realistic and never give up, it gets better!

Thank you so much both respondents. It is so supportive to have feedback like this to help me realise that I am going through a fairly normal period of recovery. Difficult that it is
. I hope that I have positive feedback from my OS tomorrow and can start more physio. I must stay positive!

I love this place! It really stinks to be going through this, but it's so nice to know you're not alone. My injury was on 3/18 with surgery 3/22... I'm currently struggling to get 60 degrees ROM. I thought I would be so much further along now... And I, too, am starting to get annoyed by others' reactions to how long recovery is taking - I'm experiencing the exact same things you two have described!! Thanks to all here! We've gotta just keep hanging in there!

Hi -- I haven't been a regular poster lately (am 13 months post ORIF and doing well) . . . Lost Pirate is totally on point. This injury isn't simply a broken bone . . . I told everyone it was a 2-year rehab so they wouldn't think I should be "normal" again for quite a while. I'm still working on quad strengthening and trying to get more flexibility in the tendon/ligaments surrounding my knee. I was verrrrryyyyy slow in ROM. If you can find some of my earlier posts (in diary section) you can see how slow I was. I found using a warm water pool at the fitness center was extraordinarily helpful -- the pool was at 94 degrees F. Then, using a leg press machine at the fitness center . . . place your feet on the pad with low weight resistance . . . and put the "sled" close to your feet. Then, straighten your legs (easy) . . . and continue to return to "start" where your knees are bent. I found it a clever way to increase ROM. I finally am pretty close to my other leg -- not exactly sure what it is, but I can sit in bed with my knees bent fully and read the paper in the mornings. I'd noticed this the other day and was pleasantly surprised that I only noticed it because I was doing it without any tension/pressure or discomfort in the knee . . . it actually felt normal.
Dedicating yourself to rehab now will let you return to fully normal . . . it is a slow process, but daily and continued working on it will give you your knee back.
Best of luck.

I achieved 90 ROM this week, 14 weeks after surgery, and am more mobile at last. I can drive and walk without a limp. Coming down stairs is still a challenge tho'! However, I am in more pain now, not in the knee, but in the whole leg. It stops me sleeping. I am reluctant to keep taking ibuprofem and paracetamol because of the well documented side effects but i just cant manage without them. Also, my legs are restless and I have problems keeping still.
I am not due to see my OS until September so does anyone have any tips/ ideas ? I feel that I overcome one hurdle and another one looms. But driving again is wonderful because I am independent again.

I'm glad you are doing better. I just got cleared for driving last week and it's a whole new world again.
I think the pain you are feeling may be your weakened muscles doing work again. Are you spending much time on the exercise bike? That really helps range of motion.
Two weeks ago I started up group cycling (spin) classes at the gym again (before the break I took classes 5-6 days a week). I'm not 100% in them, but I can tell I'm getting stronger with every class. My knee doesn't give me problems during them, it's my quad.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried the exercise bike but can't get the pedals to rotate even with the seat high. I have been on the cross trainer yesterday and today though. I can't do it for more than 15 minutes since my legs get so tired. I used to do spin classes before my accident and lots of aerobics so I should cope. I'm perplexed by my inability to exercise for long, my quads and calf muscles seize up. I think driving my car and using the clutch is tiring my leg. It's a new car and the clutch is stiff so it's quite a challenge to drive it for an hour in traffic.
Still it's a lot better than sitting in as I've done for 3 months.

my PT says that usually cycling requires to comfortably bend your knee by yourself to 105-110º, so that might be a guide for you.
what helped me (I had the 2 patellas broken) was to sit on the horizontal static bike as far as my legs allowed and move the pedals as much as I could in both directions for 15 minutes a day, no resistance. after few weeks of that and many other exercises, I made it to cycle easily and after few weeks I could switch to the regular static bike. once you get there, the goal is to low down the seat as much as you can, so your knee(s) get used to work while bent.
hope this help

Hi Lou,
I've not posted for a while but you can see my journey in old posts. We all know how traumatic a broken knee is. It is a long process and 10 months down the line i am nowhere near the woman i was. However life is good...i appreciate things more and probably exercise more than i ever did as the injury gave me something to aim for (recovery) and taught me to respect my body.
All I will say if you are driving an english car with a clutch at 3 months post injury (is that right?) you are doing well. It was 5 months before i could do that.
stay strong.

Hi Everyone! Good to see some old friends here! I'm almost 11 months along. We've all had our ups and downs, but we are getting there!
Swally, I had an awful jittery leg when I was about 90 degrees. I went back to my post and couldn't figure out how long it lasted. I couldn't sleep at all. I went back to taking my prescription drugs to help me sleep until it passed. I called it my caffiene leg. I had shooting pains in my knee and my thigh. Once I started taking my pain meds, I was able to sleep and was able to relax. I also used a heating pad and took hot baths with lavendar and salt. I used a mix from Carol's Daughter, but I think Epsom salt would do the same.
It's good to hear from Lexie Lou, Sue, acg and of course Lost Pirate. You all really encouraged me along the way. I wish I had held off a little on my hardware removal. It sort of set me back some. I had mine out right at 6 months and I had to sit around for 3 weeks and I just got out of the habit of exercising. I'm still not running or jogging. I have been walking 1-2 miles per day lately at the park while my two kids train for cross country. My knee makes all kinds of popping, crunching and grinding sounds. I had hoped it would go away with the hardware removal, but it's about the same. At least I won't have a hardware issue in the future. Plus, I had to get the hardware out of my elbow anyway. It's much better now.
Everyone, hang in there!!! I can do everything I need to. Maybe not everything I want to do. The walking at the park will really help. There are alot of hills and I feel so much better when I go. After a long day, I will go down the stairs at our house toddler style which is frustrating, but I've climbed straight up wall ladders at work to get on the roof of buildings.
Take Care everyone.

I am not surprised that you have pain in other areas of your leg. That's actually pretty common and for a number of reasons. The 1st being that when your leg was immobilized all the muscles in your leg atrophied and weakened. They all need to be strengthened. And that can be easier said then done. All those muscles need to be targeted in therapy. Its very common for some muscle groups to strengthen slower then other. The VMO and hip are notorious for that. That's why it's so important to have a good therapist. They can recognize when muscle groups are coming along slower and adjust your exercises to target and strengthen them. When one muscle group is behind it puts more stress the other muscles and that can cause pain.
That kinda leads me to the next reason why you are probably having pain in other areas of your leg. Even though you are walking without a limp you probably aren't walking in the proper motion. We are notorious for unconsciously compensating (or babying) our bad leg. We want to protect it. We tend to short step and bear more weight on our good leg. We also don't walk properly. We tend to flat foot our steps, throw our leg from our hip, and lock out our landing when we walk. The proper way to walk is too roll your step of your toes, extend it from the knee (not throw it from the hip) and land on your heel without locking out your leg (that means your leg should be a little bent at the knee when you land your step and not totally straight) Watch what you good leg does when you walk and compare your bad leg to it. I bet you'll notice a difference. All this compensating we tend to do causes pain in other areas of our leg because not only are we making the muscles work in an unnatural manner we are also making them bear more of the load because we are babying that bad leg.
I had pain at various times in my calf, my hamstring, behind my knee, my hip and lower back. It was all because I was not walking right. Even though I wasn't limping I was still compensating. I was short stepping, flat footing, throwing from my hip and locking out my landing. I didn't even realize I was doing this. My therapist always caught it. This is why I say after this injury we really need to learn how to walk again. I seriously had to think about every step I took and to do it right. If I didn't I'd fall back into my bad habits. When ever I had a bobble or muscle pain I'd watch my walk and sure enough I was doing something wrong! As soon as I corrected it the pain would go away fairly quickly. This is very common with our injuries. Almost everyone has to deal with this problem in their recovery. It's only been within the last few months that I have been able to walk properly again without thinking about it.

Well, in the last few weeks I have made progress. I can cycle a static bike but it hurts so much to start!! I can go down some stairs normally too. However, my leg is still stiff . My physio thinks I only need a couple more sessions and I am panicking. I suppose I have mobility but I want to get back to my pre accident state? How long, if ever,does it take to be free of the stiffness and discomfort? When will I be confident to kneel?
Any tips gratefully received. This board has been fantastic help so far.

Hi Lou! I am a "repeat patella fx". My 2nd time was Feb 18, ORIF surgery Feb. 23, so I'm only 9 days or so earlier than you. I am still having trouble coming down stairs (up is getting better). As for kneeling.... !!??? I've tried a couple times, even just on the bed and it is really uncomfortable, in large part because 1/2 my knee still has no feeling so I can't feel the contact with anything. Do you have full feeling returned?
Stiffness and discomfort... stretching out the leg and doing exercises helps reduce the stiffness I find. also massage is good too. Some of your stiffness could still be coming from the hardware. Has your OS said anything about removal? You can check on this site for lots of info / experiences about hardware removal (I am in favour... had my first hw out at 6 months post-op after my first fx. and it felt SO GOOD to have it out... then I fell again and my patella just split again in exactly the same 2 pieces!
Good luck! keep up with the exercises even if physio discharges you.
06/06/11: knee vs. pavement; pavement won
06/07/11: xrays confirm fx left patella
06/15/2011: ORIF surgery; 2 pins, figure 8
08/10/2011: began pt; rom 35
12/15/2011: HW removed, YEAH!
01/11/2012: resumed pt; rom 110

02/23/2012: ORIF; 2 screws + wire

Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Week of August 27, 2007 Recaps
Max and Jeremy met up at the Brady Pub to discuss the situation with
Rawlings and the Vegas girls. Max said he heard from Ilsa, who rounded up
most of the ladies. The plan was to usher them out of Sin City the next day.
Max suggested bringing the cops in, but Jeremy was reluctant. Stephanie
joined them, explaining she was going to the beach with Jett and Chelsea,
who were waiting outside. She asked Jer to join, but he went out to talk to
Jett before responding. Chelsea went inside. Once alone, Jeremy implored
Jett to talk to the cops and tell them that he was trying to do make things
right. Jett played dumb, but Jeremy persisted. Jett finally revealed that
the cops have been on to his pal for months. Jeremy insisted Jett helped
him, since Jer once saved his life. Jett suggested that Jeremy do damage
control as soon as he could.
In the pub, Max and Stephanie had an awkward conversation about their Vegas
smooch. Max apologized for crossing the line, but Steph insisted it wasn't
his fault. Jeremy came in and asked if something was going on with the two
of them. They played it off, then Steph asked if it was time to go to the
beach. Jeremy said they weren't going. Steph went anyway. Max joined.
At the gym, Lucas and Sami trailed Andre, but worried that they weren't
dressed appropriately to be on the sly. Lucas asked what the plan was, then
wasn't impressed when Sami told him that she was going to spill something on
Andre to distract him. Lucas suggested they call Roman. Sami went to the
juice bar, where she encountered Andre. He said he knew what her agenda was
and if she crossed him, he would snap her neck. Sami pretended to faint. The
gym staff tended to her. Lucas came over, then called Roman. In the mele,
Andre gave them the slip. Lucas called Roman.
At the Brady home, Roman and Bo tried to figure out what was going on with
Stefano and Andre. Bo suggested that Stefano wasn't as sick as everyone
thought, but Roman said he talked to a doctor, who reported that the Phoenix
wasn't well and needed a new liver. Bo noted that a part of him wished
Stefano would live, since he's the only one who can control Andre.
In the hospital, EJ was prepped for liver surgery. Stefano came in to chat
with his son and thanked him for being a donor. He could sense his son's
hesitation and asked him to be honest if he was having second thoughts. EJ
admitted that it troubled him to reflect on how many people his father has
hurt. Stefano countered by pointing out that Elvis was very much like him,
seeing as how he was ready to put Lucas on ice days earlier. "Those halfwits
at the Salem PD ... think that it was Andre, but I know that little caper
had your fingerprints all over it, my son." Stefano said if EJ was unwilling
to consider himself a DiMera then the surgery was off. EJ replied that he
planned to keep up his end of the bargain. "You're a good son, Elvis.
Strong," a pleased Stefano noted.
Roman arrived at the gym and told Sami and Lucas to stop playing cops. He
told them to go home and threatened to put an APB on them, so they would be
arrested if they left the apartment. Once alone, Sami noted to Lucas that it
doesn't make sense that Andre would leave the building. They spied a "woman"
with the folio and Sami suspected it was Andre in disguise. "She" went into
the steam room. Lucas followed, but said Roman wouldn't be pleased. Sami
wished him luck.
The doctor was doing the final prep on EJ at the hospital. Roman and Bo
barged in and said that they had an arrest warrant for EJ, who has been
ignoring his parking violations. "You cannot be serious," declared Elvis,
who added that it was a most inopportune time to be pursuing charges. Roman
ordered the doctor to remove the IV from EJ. A smirky Bo went to visit old
man DiMera. He reported what happened with Elvis and explained that he was
on his way to jail. "You can't do that. Stefano will die," exclaimed Dr.
Rolf. Stefano asked what Bo wanted in return. "How very observant. You can
either end this ridiculous vendetta, hand over Andre, or you can cash in
your chips," Brady replied.
In the hospital, Roman read an irate EJ his rights. EJ then stuck a syringe
into Roman's leg — rendering him incapable of moving — and stormed out. In
the hallway, Bo and Stefano continued their standoff over the liver.
Relieved that his father was still alive, EJ approached them. Bo cuffed him
and reread the Miranda rights. Roman limped in. EJ urged Stefano to tell
them where Andre was, but the Phoenix refused and had Rolf bring him back to
his room. EJ asked Bo for a few minutes alone with his father. Once inside
Stefano's room, EJ tried to appeal to him to turn over Andre, but to no
avail. Bo came in to report that time was up. Stefano gave in and revealed
that Andre was at the health club to meet Kate and hand over the folio. EJ
thanked Stefano, then asked Bo to remove the handcuffs so he could find his
In the gym, Sami paced nervously waiting for Lucas, but a club employee,
Tessa, told her the club was closed. Sami insisted that her husband was in
trouble and fibbed that she was a member of the club. While Tessa went to
check, Sami slipped by her. Lucas, meanwhile, was held at gunpoint by an
in-drag Andre. Lucas demanded the folio, but Andre refused to hand it over,
then roughed up Roberts. A panicky Sami found blood on the wall and Lucas's
wedding ring. She called Roman, but he was too drugged to help her. "I got
stuck with a needle, and I think it was filled with lollipops or something,"
he laughed. She called Bo, who was in Stefano's room. EJ heard what was
going on and slipped out. Bo grabbed Roman and followed.
At the Brady home, Hope and Steve engaged in a diaper-changing contest.
Benjy came by and asked to speak to Steve privately. After, Steve came in
with Benjy and told Hope and Kayla about the DiMera liver donor powwow.
Kayla told Benjy he was welcome to stay with them. Hope suggested he hide
his car in the garage. Benjy thanked them and left to do so. Hope, Steve and
Kayla then discussed Pocket and parenthood. Steve admitted that he likes
having the baby around, but he worries that he would mess up another kid
like he did Stephanie. Kayla pointed out that it wasn't his fault; the
DiMeras brainwashed him. Speaking of the DiMeras, the trio realized Benjy
wasn't back yet. Steve went to look for him, then returned with a suitcase
and no Benjy. Steve vowed to find him.
Alone in his room, Stefano heard an aria and then was "visited" by Santo.
Stefano asked if his papa was there to claim him, but Santo said he was
there to assure Stefano that "it is not over. The Phoenix will rise
again.... I am here to help you fulfill your destiny."
Lucas was bound and trapped in a car outside of the gym. Rabid dogs barked
outside of it. Inside, Tessa continued to give Sami a hard time, even though
Sami explained that her husband was being stalked by a killer. "What are
you, like a pathological liar?" Tessa asked. Sami explained that her father
was the deputy police commissioner, but Tessa didn't buy it. EJ — who
is a club member — rushed in and helped Sami search for Lucas. They
headed to the steam room. Bo arrived next, also looking for Sami. A
still-feeling-the-effects-of-the-drug Roman was in tow and acting goofy.
Tessa felt guilty that she didn't believe Sami. Bo's cell phone rang —
it was Lucas, who explained what happened.
At the steam room entrance, Andre approached Sami. He pushed her in with EJ,
locked the door and turned up the heat.
Kayla and Hope waited for work on Benjy. Steve inspected Benjy's luggage and
found blood on it. In an alley, a homeless man came across Benjy's bloody
body in a Dumpster.
Rattled by his vision of Santo, Stefano begged Dr. Rolf to destroy the
folio. Rolf's cell phone rang and he left to take the call, promising
Stefano it would make him a happy man. Stefano saw Santo again in the
interim. Rolf returned, saying that they found a donor. Rolf instructed
Stefano's doctor to find an operating room, stat. Stefano saw Santo again
and begged him to leave. Rolf asked who he was talking to and tried to calm
him down. Stefano restated his request that Rolf destroy the folio if he
died. Rolf said he would.
At the gym, Andre grinned as EJ and Sami begged to be let out of the steam
room, then ran off. A panicky Sami cried that it was bad for the babies for
her to be in there. EJ assured her they'd be out soon. Time passed, so EJ
started to take his shirt off and advised Sami to do the same so she
wouldn't get hotter. She balked, so he gave her a towel, turned around and
told her to disrobe. She did. She then blamed herself for getting into this
mess, since Lucas told her not to.
From his car in the alley, a bloody Lucas urged Bo to find Sami. Bo reported
that Tessa told him that Sami left. "With who?" Lucas demanded. Bo told him
it was EJ, which alarmed Lucas. A still-loopy Roman insisted on helping. "I
back your got," he said. In the car, Lucas activated the alarm to scare the
dogs off. It worked. Bo and Roman arrived and Lucas asked what took them so
long. Lucas then took note of Roman's behavior. Bo explained that he was
dopey from the meds. Hope called Bo's cell to tell him about Benjy's
disappearance. Bo told her he was on his way home, instructing Lucas not to
let Roman get behind the wheel of a car.
Bo arrived home, where he, Kayla and Hope wondered what could have happened
to Benjy. Hope said she had spoken to Lexie and Benjy's wife, Sonia, and
that nobody had seen him. Bo left the room to call the station and put out
an APB. Steve came in, holding a white bag, saying he needed to speak to Bo.
Kayla grabbed the bag. In it was a bloody shirt. Bo returned and told them
that someone found Benjy, who was barely alive. Bo was about to leave, but
Steve said he wanted to come, too. Bo said no because Steve was too
emotionally connected to Benjy. Bo ultimately relented, but warned Steve he
would lock him up if he had to. They arrived at the scene, where they were
told that the cut in Benjy's side was surgical.
Lucas and Roman — who was feeling more like himself —went to
the hospital to see Stefano. They were surprised to hear he was having a
transplant. Rolf said that another family member had stepped forward to give
their liver. Roman deduced it was stolen. Lucas headed back to the gym to
find his wife. Roman then went to the Benjy crime scene and told Bo that
Stefano was about to have surgery.
In the steam room, EJ tried to distract Sami by playinga game. Sami asked
EJ if he set up their predicament to get her naked. He said if that was his
plan, he would have found somewhere more romantic and comfortable. She
implored him to find a way out. He tried to keep her cool by fanning her
with a towel. EJ then spied a ceiling fan and asked if she had a bobby pin
or wire. "A wire. No, sorry. I left all my wires in the car," she replied.
He took the underwire from her bra (after brazenly asking if she was a C or
D cup) to try and rig the air system. He was electrocuted and fell to the
floor. Lucas came the door. Sami cried out that she thought EJ was dead.
Bo came to the hospital and encountered Stefano and Rolf. Bo excoriated Rolf
for what happened with Benjy. Steve came in after him and picked up the
cooler with the liver and yelled that Stefano would never get it.
Philip and Billie met at the Brady Pub to discuss his missing son. Billie
reported that Oklahoma state police responded to the photo she faxed of
Lauren and that she's at a shelter for battered women. Billie gave him the
address in Oklahoma, but said she couldn't go because the university needs
her. She suggested he bring a woman along, though, who could pretend to be
Lauren's concerned sister. "What about Belle?" Billie asked.
At the Brady home, Belle sat with Shawn while he looked for his tools. She
left to call Marlena and check on Claire. Max came by to tell Shawn that he
had a feeling he was going to lose the garage and that they'd both be out of
work. Max then told him about his illegal side business with Jeremy. Shawn
urged Max to talk to Bo, but Max pointed out that Las Vegas was out of his
jurisdiction. Shawn was devastated to realize that his future plans with
Belle and Claire were in doubt. Belle returned and asked Max what he was
doing there. He covered that it was garage talk. Belle left to go get her
college books. Max advised Shawn to come clean with Belle before she found
out from someone else. Shawn lamented that he could never catch a break. Max
agreed, noting there was a good chance he was going to jail.
Lucas worked frantically to get Sami out of the steam room. She reiterated
that EJ wasn't breathing. Inside, Sami urged EJ to hang on. She gave him
mouth-to-mouth while Lucas and Tessa worked on getting the door open. During
the mouth-to-mouth, EJ and Sami wound up in a kiss. Lucas managed to get
inside and found Sami hovering over EJ. He told her to sit down. Sami
implored him to save Elvis. Lucas administered mouth-to-mouth; EJ started
breathing again and realized it was because of Lucas. Lucas said that they
were almost even. The EMTs rushed in. Lucas noted that he felt like he shot
his future with Sami to hell by saving EJ. Sami insisted he had nothing to
worry about. Lucas confessed to being jealous of EJ and that the reading of
the Santo/Colleen letters just drove the point home. Sami insisted that
Lucas was her destiny. She then returned his wedding ring to him.
The standoff over the liver for Stefano's transplant continued in the
hospital as Steve held on to the mini-cooler. Bo warned Steve that he'd have
to arrest him if he didn't put it down. The doctor came in, asking why there
was a holdup for the transplant. Bo explained that they believed the liver
was forcibly taken from Benjy and that it's evidence. The doc asked if they
had a warrant. Bo said no. The doctor declared that — in that case — Stefano
needed to be tended to ASAP. Steve wouldn't capitulate, so Bo tried to
reason with him, saying it wasn't his place to play God. Steve got a
canister of bleach and threatened to pour it on the liver. Once that drama
subsided, Stefano was taken into surgery; Bo and Steve had it out. Steve
chastised Bo for being so by-the-book; Bo replied that Steve would have gone
to jail otherwise. Dr. Rolf returned and told them that the surgery was a
success. "You will never bring him down," the doc pointed out. "Stefano
DiMera is far too formidable a foe." After, Bo proposed a plan to Steve that
would draw Andre out of hiding.
Belle met up with Philip, who texted her. He told her about the lead on
Lauren and asked her to go with him. "Sign me up," she responded. He praised
her for being "amazing," but worried what Shawn would say. Belle said he
would have to understand that it's something she has to do.
Belle and Philip prepared for their trip to Oklahoma. She admitted that she
hadn't told Shawn yet. At the Brady home, Shawn and Hope talked about the
mess with Max. Hope worried that Shawn hadn't told Belle the truth. He told
her he hoped to have a paycheck soon, then revealed that he wants to join
the Salem P.D. Hope pointed out that Belle wouldn't be pleased with his
career choice. Hope then admitted she wouldn't survive if she lost another
son. She urged him to think through his decision. He said he had. She gave
his blessing, but as he noted, "with a side of guilt." Shawn said he wanted
to pass the entrance exam before Philip found out about the garage and
swooped in on Belle. Hope said that Belle is devoted to Shawn only. He
wasn't as sure. She urged him to be honest with Belle. He said he would.
At the hotel, Kayla worried about Steve's involvement in Bo's plan to fake
Stefano's death. Steve saw Pocket's outfit and asked where Kayla got it. She
said it was an old one of Stephanie's. Steve reminded her that Pocket
doesn't like to dress like a girl. She wanted to visit Benjy, so she asked
Steve to watch the baby. He was concerned that he wasn't up to the task, but
she was encouraging.
At the hospital, Kayla ran into Lexie in Benjy's room. "I wish it was me in
this bed instead of my brother," Lexie sighed. Kayla assured her that Benjy
would say the same thing if the situation was reversed. They then discussed
Steve and Pocket, as well as Stefano and his continued ability to survive.
The women were relieved when Benjy came to.
Steve had a rough time taking care of Pocket. Hope went over to the hotel to
help. She deduced that the baby was hungry. Steve felt like an idiot. After
they fed the baby, Hope asked how Pocket came into their lives. She then
mentioned that he needed a real name. "Pocket is a name you grow out of, not
into," she noted. They had a heart-to-heart about parenting, then Hope
helped him clean the suite. Kayla returned to the suite and told Steve that
Benjy was awake and is on the mend. She asked how things went with Pocket.
With no mention of Hope's help, Steve said it was all good.
Belle went to the Brady home to tell Shawn about her Oklahoma plans. Before
she could, he told her that Hope was going to watch Claire for them so they
could go out to dinner. She dropped the OK bomb. Shawn didn't understand why
Belle had to be the one to go, but reluctantly gave his okay. "Be careful,"
he said. Philip came to the door. Belle told him Shawn was cool with her
going. Shawn wished them luck and hoped they'd find Lauren and Tyler. Once
alone with Philip, Shawn asked where he got off asking Belle to go out of
town with him. Philip retorted that if Shawn had been honest about
Indianapolis, this never would have happened. Belle came back in the room.
Shawn told her dinner was at 6. Belle promised she'd be back in time. Before
they left, Philip had a parting shot for Shawn: "Last I looked, she was a
free woman. Belle's not your wife. Not yet."
Hope came home and asked Shawn what was wrong. He told her about Belle's day
trip to Tulsa with Philip. She asked if he trusted Belle. He said he does.
"Then the fears, the doubts. Let them all go," she said.

I have a startup idea that improves upon an existing idea in a uniquel and differentiated way. Let's call my idea "David". However, there exists a very large, well-known competitor, "Goliath".
David vs Goliath
David: new to industry, bootstrapped, uniquely differentiated, & taps into a revenue model not currently being utilized by Goliath
Goliath: Well-known brand, well-rooted in the industry; have lots of money to copy David
So the question is:
What do I say to investors who ask, "Well, what's stopping Goliath from doing the same thing? Couldn't they just copy you?"
Edit: I have done market validation and customers are interested in my concept.

Jihadist social media postings helped lead to the arrest and charging of four Los Angeles area men who were allegedly on their way to Afghanistan to train with the Taliban and join al Qaeda, federal officials said.
They were also plotting to kill American soldiers and bomb government installations, according to a joint statement Monday by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles.
One of the men, a U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, encouraged two of the others to embrace violent Islamic doctrine by introducing them online to radical teachings, including those of deceased U.S.-born al-Qaeda imam Anwar al-Awlaki.
The three exposed their connection to each other and their radical leanings explicitly on Facebook for over a year. And one of them detailed his intentions to participate in jihad in an online chat with an FBI employee.
Another man was recruited at a later point to join the other three in their training.
All four were charged Monday in a federal court in California, where three of them appeared for the first time. One of the men was already in Afghanistan, where he was apprehended, said U.S. attorney André Birotte Jr. and assistant director Bill Lewis from the FBI's Los Angeles field office in a joint statement.
Sohiel Omar Kabir, Ralph Deleon, Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales and Arifeen David Gojali face charges of supporting terrorists who conspired to kill, kidnap or harm U.S. officers and other U.S. citizens, as well as bomb public places and government facilities.
The Joint Terrorism Task Force in Riverside, California, arrested Deleon, 23, Santana, 21, and Gojali, 21, on Friday. Kabir, 34, is in custody in Afghanistan, according to the criminal complaint submitted to the U.S. District Court.
At a detention hearing Monday, Deleon and Santana were ordered held without bond pending another hearing on December 3. Gojali requested a delay in his detention hearing, according to the FBI, and it was rescheduled for next Monday. He will be held at least until that court appearance.
"If you notice their ethnicities, they're all from a variety of backgrounds," David Bowdich of the FBI told reporters Tuesday. "You have Philippino, Vietnamese, Mexican and Afghani.
"They all had one common cause," he added, referring to the alleged terrorism. Bowdich is the special agent in charge of the counterterrorism division at the FBI's Los Angeles office.
According to authorities, Kabir is a naturalized U.S. citizen, who was born in Afghanistan and lived in Pomona, California. Deleon is a permanent U.S. resident living in Ontario and was born in the Philippines. Santana, a resident of Upland, is a lawful permanent resident, born in Mexico, who has applied for U.S. citizenship. Gojali, 21, of Riverside, is a U.S. citizen.
The men face a maximum sentence of 15 years in a federal prison, if convicted.
Kabir entered the U.S. Air Force on July 20, 2000, and was honorably discharged on December 17, 2001, said spokesman Mike Dickerson of the U.S. Air Force Personnel Center.
He was an airman first class whose specialty was mobility technician -- a logistics post -- and he served at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, Dickerson said.
Kabir also spent six months in Germany before arriving in Afghanistan last July, where he was preparing for the others' arrival.
Deleon's attorney, Randolph Driggs of Orange, California, declined to comment Tuesday. The attorney for Santana also declined to comment Tuesday.
The 74-page complaint details evidence collected against the men from online chats with FBI employees, travel documents, extensive contact with an informant, recorded conversations and their active social media accounts.
Kabir, Santana and Deleon all posted radical jihad content to their Facebook page, the court documents allege. But Kabir's page in particular contained multiple links to and videos by al-Awlaki, videos depicting mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan, improvised explosive devices and suicide bombings.
"Deleon and Santana 'liked' postings on Kabir's Facebook page as early as May 2011," according to the court document.

One day away from closing the book on an impactful 20-year career dedicated to preparing school-aged children for the real world, Junior Achievement of the Ocoee Region President Sandy Moore on Thursday acknowledged she retires with "mixed emotions."
"I am looking forward to having time for myself and for my family ... but I'm going to miss a lot of wonderful volunteers, good friends and community leaders who believe in the Junior Achievement message," Moore said in between individual and small-group conversations during her informal retirement reception at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce.
"But it's time," she added. "It's time for new ideas and new directions. It's time for someone else to be in charge and to lead Junior Achievement into a new era."
Although already hired by the JA board of directors, Moore's successor will be named next week. The outgoing president has spent most of the week preparing the new JA leader for the short- and long-term future.
The short term includes the completion of an $85,000 annual fundraising campaign that "still has a way to go" — using the words of fundraising chairman Ken Jones — and the long term is the development of a strategy that will keep up with the classroom demands of area school systems in spite of limited funding, busy volunteers and an ever-changing landscape in the sometimes chaotic arena of public education.
JA of the Ocoee Region partners with school systems in a five-county territory including Bradley, McMinn, Monroe, Polk and Meigs counties. Last year, JA reached 4,100 students in a myriad of programming from grades K-12. JA's three-pronged focus includes financial literacy, entrepreneurship and career awareness.
Several attending Thursday's 90-minute reception were JA board members who admit they will miss their retired leader, but who will always admire her commitment to teaching young minds beyond the realm of fundamental academics. Like Moore, board members also are excited about her successor.
"Sandy has been a great friend to us all," Jones, a two-year board member and 16-year volunteer classroom instructor, said. "We will miss her drive and her enthusiasm."
The professional financial analyst, who is comfortable teaching financial literacy in the classroom, reflected on Moore's positive influence on area children and education. He credited her for a strong influence in helping him to overcome any reservations about teaching youngsters.
"I remember it like it was yesterday," Jones said of his first teaching assignment in a public classroom. "I thought those eighth graders were going to eat me alive."
But they didn't. In fact, most marveled at his willingness to show an interest in their lives by spending time in their classroom. Jones credited JA, Moore's influence and the prepared curriculum for getting him through his first teaching assignment.
Of the ongoing fundraising campaign, Jones acknowledged, "We still have a way to go ... but knowing that the money is used to pay for this JA program, that keeps us going."
Rick Platz, a retiree who chairs the JA board, praised Moore's leadership and admitted he struggles to find the right words to describe her fearlessness and uncompromising mindset when it comes to spreading public awareness about Junior Achievement.
"There's just not enough you can say to thank someone who has given so much of herself for such a worthy cause," Platz said. "We will miss Sandy in her retirement, but the good news is she is remaining as a volunteer."
By Moore's own assessment, her hours won't be as long, but her commitment to JA and to area schools will remain unchallenged.
She has spent the week instilling this mindset into her successor whose experience in the nonprofit industry and whose eagerness to carry the JA torch has excited both Moore and the organization's volunteer-driven board.
"I know the person hired to take over will do an incredible job," Moore stressed. "We've gone over everything this week ... the budget, fundraising, classroom demands, curriculum, special events, board development and a lot more."
Of her successor, Moore added, "I'm really impressed. This person brings a lot of skills, a lot of experience in nonprofit work and a dedication to community service."
Platz said announcement of the new president should come by midweek.
Another friend to Junior Achievement who has spent time in Knoxville city classrooms as a volunteer with the Knox County affiliate is Doug Berry, vice president of Economic Development for the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce.
Berry, who joined the reception as a Chamber representative and friend to JA, said Moore's strength has been her ability to understand the needs of young people and to customize her role to meet those needs.
"... Her expertise is hard to come by," Berry stressed.
Kim Gunter, vice president of Marketing for the Bowater Employee Credit Union and an avid JA board member and classroom volunteer who has also worked tirelessly to help coordinate a wave of special JA activities, praised Moore as well for her leadership.
Gunter said she is excited for Moore in her retirement, but equally as thrilled that she will remain with the organization as a volunteer to spread the JA message, teach in the public classrooms, and to promote public awareness of the organization and its relevance to today's changing educational environment.
In typical Sandy Moore fashion, the JA veteran offered the same message on her next-to-the-last day as president that she did three months ago when she announced her retirement.
"I think Junior Achievement has a viable future," she offered. "JA will grow and change, and it will meet the needs of the community. But it will have to evolve. The mission of JA likely will remain the same, but new technologies and new goals will have to be embraced."
And that's why she believes the time for a changing of the guard has come.
"It's time for new ideas and new directions," she repeated herself from earlier in the reception. "It's time for someone else to be in charge and to lead Junior Achievement into a new era."

Doesn't even deserve third place...
By NDG (172 reviews) from Oxfordshire , 29 Jan 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Yeah, I should have known. But a night out, a few beers, and it all seemed harmless enough... This is just a series of plot holes held together by little more than the titty tape so favoured by the film's 'waitresses'.
The scary thing is that I can only assume the movie is aimed at teenage boys, and I'm not totally sure this is the right message to be giving out. Far more importantly, the first scene is ok but after that it doesn't work in any way shape or form.- Was this review helpful to you?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With the addition of Washington, Virginia, and Indiana motor vehicle records, Auto Data Direct, Inc. (ADD) now offers real-time access to 31 state databases for qualified companies. Whether for an automobile dealer confirming ownership for a trade-in, an insurer processing a claim, or a tow operator needing registrant and lien holder information to notify an owner his car has been towed, ADD's web-based system offers a single platform for access to more real-time records than any other company of its kind.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130924/FL84771)
Companies who need access to accurate, real-time motor vehicle records to complete business transactions use ADD's secure web-based system to pull individual records when they need them, 24 hours a day. Records are made available through a secure internet connection, based on a company's qualifications under the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).
"This is an important milestone in the growth of our company's services," said Jim Taylor, President. "ADD's core business is to provide real-time motor vehicle inquiries to DPPA-qualified companies. We've grown from initially offering access to Florida records in 1999 to now working with 31 states for this important real-time service. Our customers value a single point of access for records so that the process of finalizing transactions is easy, accurate, and can be completed from online without extra steps to retrieve the information from other sources."
Real-time motor vehicle records include owner, lien holder, and registration information as well as vehicle data such as make, model, year, tag and title number.

Exactly three years since the largest financial entity in the world have a budget.
The US federal government reaching a milestone on Sunday three full years about passing a permanent spending plan.
Last week leaders in the United States senate.
Which is controlled by the president's own party.
Announced they would not advance a budget for the third year in a row this on a serious approach to budgeting has dire consequences for American families.
The president and his party leaders are now insisting that Washington take trillions of dollars from hard working Americans.
In an effort to lock in ever higher government spending -- that is Paul Ryan from about a week.
Stephen Moore senior economic threat of the Wall Street Journal Steve how you doing good morning Cuban Las Vegas -- -- -- -- do it.
Help me understand a practical effect of not having a budget when there's not something that's in writing that's been voted on that's been passed and signed a -- Well the big problem bill is that we're borrowing one point two trillion dollars a year.
We're on the course where -- everyone knows we have to rack with the respect how much worse bad -- And the problem -- for three years now -- shot it Democrats are simply not put forward a budget blueprint which means.
That they want to stay basically on the course Iran vowing a trillion dollars a year or.
Now Paul Ryan who you just stock -- it.
How he put forward a budget as you know a few weeks ago it passed through the house.
Now some people may agree with that budget some people may disagree with that but at least he's put out a couple budget blueprint -- here -- how we're gonna deal with the opposite situation.
The problem is the Democrats have no plan and they're not willing to let the American people see what the plan -- what we I would ask why do we even pay -- These people always we have spoken and many people say they haven't put -- -- -- because -- American people tend to -- -- for that.
This is what Ron Johnson argues they refuse because they don't want to be held accountable.
He continues -- -- rather cut back -- deals that hide the details of the plans.
And then -- political potshots at Republicans have at the carriage to produce and vote for a serious budget do you agree with that.
A 100% that's exactly what they've been doing you saw all of the shots that they took a -- lions budget he wanted to up.
Push gravel over over the edge of the cliff in her wheelchair those kinds of but you know that's have been running against the Republican budget.
But the point is there is no Democrat flat out the president put out his son bill as you know back in February it was voted in the house sits on it it was voted down 97 to zero on this on it.
400 something to zero in the house even Nancy Pelosi wouldn't open that budget so the problem is the Republicans have a plan the Democrats don't I think this is extreme -- -- financial malpractice by the Democrats put out and show your cards let the American people won't know how you wanna deal with this upset if you do -- all.
Well you -- -- financial malpractice Democrats in the senate say they passed the budget control act last year which is adequate enough because it puts caps on spending.
Is it.
What well no I don't think so I mean that's still would leave us with close to trillion dollar.
Budget deficits -- by the way.
That the Democrats have I have proposed a number of off spending measures that would already -- I was spending caps and it's only a year away a year old so I don't believe the Democrats have been very serious about living under those financial constraints.
And I don't think that they're they're tough enough they'll let me look this is a financial.
Disaster that we're facing if we don't do something about these that we -- -- ten trillion dollars over the next ten years.
I mean -- top of the fifty trillion dollar national debt that we have right now.
I mean it is simply financial catastrophe you we do that it's time to get serious about it both parties after you but of one party is basically.
Playing a rope a dope I don't think.
You're gonna get a solution -- -- John Boehner -- that's what elections are for we will find out in November if he's right -- -- and more Wall Street Journal thank you and.

They're having a blast -- isn't sure sign of the times company is bypassing traditional advertising.
Like commercials are relying solely on the Internet to get their products sold what rock -- -- A company I had never heard -- into my computer savvy kids got home from due to the ball things.
This is a company that is going against the grain they took their toys -- a big box retailers like Toys 'R' Us and target.
And they spend nothing on commercial advertising nothing zero -- She is if it works all -- -- is the founder.
CEO Brock and -- mr.
rock and rock might -- would call you because that's the name of your channel.
Pretty amazing I would bet you almost every adult doesn't realize.
That this is how kids look for toys right now -- -- a two and a six year old when they see their friends with a toy.
They come homosexual -- -- YouTube -- two year old asks me to do it and they -- -- look at the videos on YouTube and explored the toy.
Before they buy it in this a pretty new phenomenon.
Yet they're advertising on YouTube is pretty new -- and being able to make our videos which is just so much fun.
And easy is pretty new to with the kind of equipment and the small amount of space that we have today dedicated -- our.
Offices but at.
How the production costs.
Compare because I mean you're videos are very elaborate it's not like you're just sitting there you know shooting someone building and playing with the -- It is like you've shot a commercial although they're much longer at the same time obviously.
You don't -- to -- on YouTube writer do you -- that channel.
The channel doesn't cost us a thing but someone we sponsor the videos it does so.
We're looking for a child that likes to watch trash trucks are bulldozers.
And then we'll have one of our video sponsored over on the side.
And that's how they find the rock -- mark channel to begin with.
The production costs -- once we built the stage we actually use interns from local universities and we have one employee part time.
That works on the content and now with today's.
Equipment and how much these young people know about doing video it it costs almost nothing to produce these wonderful -- videos yes -- Percentage basis you've gone to almost zero to find your advertising cost you on hold out about that this -- take.
He pulled out of Toys 'R' Us and target -- on the Internet you only sold directly to families why did you decide to do that.
Well that most of our sales -- -- special beat -- retailers like zany brainy and -- could -- -- imaginary him and all of those chains collapsed along with most of the independent retailers.
And so the whole business model for.
Doing column manufacturers wraps and going to trade shows just really didn't make sense anymore so we decide to see if we could remake ourselves as a direct marketing company.
Even Toys 'R' Us or target I mean that's a central place to go for toys -- it's not like you're a little -- company I mean.
All the parents I don't know about you and have the Muni you seem like you have a pretty big percentage of the market doesn't make sense for you to be in target -- Toys -- Us.
People tend not to want to -- Iraq and -- and less they've seen a demonstration.
And it used to be that -- the stores would support our demonstration tables.
And keep them running and fixing them but they don't wanna do it anymore they just wanted to go back to a traditional advertising model.
And so we demonstrate on the Internet now it's so much easier to do we do these wonderful videos and -- on YouTube and our website -- people get an idea of what this is all about.
And just works great.
It's really it's working for you guys you say that businesses sales grew by 25%.
Last year I imagine your margin is even better.
As long as sales are growing because you cut out the middleman you're not giving a percentage of -- stores.
You're not spending money on advertising deep toys and the only industry would this would work were kids and be willing to go online and look at the product -- Do you think it's applicable to other -- kinds of business -- Yeah I think that they had this work will work for lots of need each manufacturers because of allows you to target so carefully who you wanna talk to.
If you're on YouTube and you're watching music videos are sponsored videos are gonna show up but if you're watching trash trucks they're -- -- every time.
So as manufacturers figure out exactly who they wanna talk to they can pick a video motif an advertisement advertise against it.
Melissa if you don't if you don't -- -- wanted to show you I think your kids -- familiar -- don't vote portion of our system that's for older kids.
But we make the world's greatest pre -- blocks to I just want to show those as well.

Huber's Restaurant
Online Reservations
Great food service and ambience. Loud but wonderful
We went to Hubers when I was a kid in Portland, so while visiting I had to go back. It was just as I remembered and the food was amazing. Turkey and dressing - perfection!
My wife and I chose Huber's Restaurant as our anniversary dinner spot this year. We were not disappointed! She had the Ribeye and I had the Filet Mignon. Both were excellent choices. Their signature drink (and the show that goes with it, FIRE FIRE FIRE, yeah baby!) was awesome and the desserts (homemade I might add) were other worldly. Fantastic find and I'm sure the next time we're in Portland, we'll find ourselves here again.
This restaurant doe not have the decor like others so, it even looks a little run down from the outside and when you sit. I mean it is the oldest restaurant in Portland, Oregon. When I walked in, I did not have high hopes being the fact that this place got very high recommendations. However, this meal was by far the BEST meal I had in Portland. I ordered the Tuna and is was Fabulous. Being that I've eaten at some of the highest rated restaurants in the country, this restaurant is up there too. I definitely highly recommend going here when in Portland!
I feel embarrassed that having lived so many years in Portland that I did not know this about this place, especially that t it was Portland's oldest restaurant. The setting was a dimly lit art deco with dark wood paneling. Clearly, the specialty is turkey in a variety of forms and very fresh. Great place for a casual meal.
This was an anniversary dinner and our first time at Huber's. We were treated well. The flowers I ordered were perfectly placed on the table to surprise my wife. The food, my traditional Turkey and Ham and her Salmon, was great. However, as most people know watching the making of the Spanish Coffee was the real treat of the evening. As we ate our dinner we watch with enthusiasm the near circus act of preparing the Spanish Coffee for other diners. Following our meal we watched with bated breath as our Spanish Coffees were prepared. My wife who rarely drinks neither liquor nor coffee found the elixir delightful while a bit strong. However she can not wait for our next celebration to finish off an evening with a Spanish Coffee from Huber's.
We had the tom turkey dinner 3 course special and the turkey piccatta, both were wonderful, we will be back to try out the spanish coffee!
We had just arrived in Portland and checked into our hotel when we decided we were both hungry. We jumped onto the open table website and looked for something within walking distance. After checking out the reviews we decided we had to go to Huber's. both my husband and I were incredibly pleased. We had an amazing meal, awesome service, and the Spanish coffee was to die for. This was an awesome last minute find and were so glad we went. We'll be back!
That's it: Best turkey dinner in town, with all that you'd expect from a traditional turkey dinner: great stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes. Comfort food at it's finest.
Huber's did not disappoint. Service was excellent, food delicious, and their signature Spanish Coffee is still outstanding, and presented with flair. I highly recommend the "half n half" on the menu; Half Turkey dinner, Half Ham dinner. If you don't have more than one Spanish Coffee, you may have room for desert. Ask for the homemade dark chocolate warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and fudges sauce. The best six bucks you can spend. Was not there for "happy hour" , but looking at that menu, I will make sure I get there early. Prices are a super. Will go back to this eatery more often, even though I don't live near downtown Portland. It is worth the trip.
We read about Huber's on the internet and decided we had to try it. We were not disappointed! We weren't sure what it was going to be like when we walked in but we were pleasantly surprised. Our waitress, Angela, was so attentive and helped make the evening a success. I had the filet of beef with Gorgonzola and my husband had turkey marsala, both of which were delicious. And of course you have to try the Spanish Coffee.
This is THE spot in Portland for one of the best turkey dinners and spanish coffees (quite a presentation when making the coffees). However, staff was being really unprofessional and yelling (talking loud enough for us to hear a distance away) across the restaurant and hanging out at the check in desk while we were there. Granted we were the only table but I expected better from staff at such a nice restaurant. It seemed unprofessional to be talking about what people were doing after work and how much to drink one person had over the weekend while we were sipping on our cocktails at the window. Food was really good and we would definitely go back though.
Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Brought my Canadian family here and they loved it. Wonderful service, excellent libations and overall great night. We made many memories at Hubers.
Great Turkey and Ham. I'm 84 and my dad used to take me to Huber's as a kid and the ambience is the same - turnkey and ham is wonderful and the Spanish coffee's are still really good.
Portland's oldest cafe still offering great food and fine experience.
The waitstaff were particularly friendly, courteous, helpful, and efficient.
The food is so amazing, not to mention the happy hour prices are a bonus if you get there early enough to have some drinks and munchies before dinner. Bartenders are outstanding At our table service was a little slow and we saw more of the other staff than our actual waitress most of the night. Food could have been warmer as well when served. Other than that super fun evening.
To begin with, the restaurant interior is decorated in an old style wood paneled design that is warm and comfortable, giving one the impression of being in a historical setting, which you are. Second, the menu is American comfort food, and everything we ate was well prepared and flavorful. The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient and overall we were very happy with our dining experience. I would highly recommend a visit here.
Good selection of food. Friendly service. Great time.
We always have a blast and enjoy the Spanish coffee show. We know to always make a reservation, because the place is so popular. Great crowd in the bar, great food, never a complaint.
Food was good. Server was super great even though she was swamped.
We enjoyed the stained glass ceiling and old style woodwork around tables. Food was very good.
This is the place to visit if you are seeking the ultimate in comfort foods - ham or turkey and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy - at a great price.
We love coming here for there Happy Hour and a Spanish Coffee. Both, to us, are best in town!
Don't be deceived (or stuck in) the front room; all the action and charm is in the back. With truly awesome stained glass skylights overhead and waiters flaming coffee with ballet-like moves, this is an entertaining place with good food to boot.
Its a destination place for visitors to Portland. Fantastic atmosphere and great food. I take all my out of town friends to Hubers and they absolutely enjoy the experience.
I love this restaurant for its history and consistent quality. That said, a little updating of the decor wouldn't hurt. We brought our 23 year old son for dinner and his plan was for his friends to meet him in the bar afterwards. One look in the bar and he was on the phone making new plans. Loved the dinner though.
So glad you had a 1/2 and 1/2, because I couldn't make up my mind! it was absolutely DELICIOUS!! my husband had the beef stroganoff, we shared! couldn't decide what was better.. loved your restaurant!
Beautiful remnant of Portland history. Family owned for 70 years, quality personal service maintained throughout. Flaming Spanish Coffee at your table is a must.
Great spot for drinks and burgers at the bar, or to take the entire family. Very reasonable, excellent service, and the Spanish Coffee presentation is a feat of dexterity and worth the $10. Awesome turkey pot pie with cornbread topping.
The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Service with a smile! Great food. The Salmon fetticine was fabulous! Thanks for a great evening with family and friends.
I really appreciate that the restaurant was able to accommodate our last minute dinner plans, as we were in town for corporate meetings. The food and the atmosphere were great. You really have to see them make the Turkish Coffee, even if you are not a coffee drinker.
Delicious, traditional and a great group place. My family enjoyed it....ages from 5 to 92. Nine guests. Something on the menu for everyone. Thank you.
A dozen old friends had a great Friday night gathering at Huber's with turkey dinners and Spanish coffees. What's not to like about Huber's--a great Portland landmark.
A part from the service being a little slow, the overall experience for an early thanksgiving dinner was great!
We always have a really good time coming here for Thanksgiving Eve. It gets a little noisy and very crowded but it's the place to see and be seen. The Spanish coffees are their specialty so you have to try one and watch their little show making it - if you haven't already. The place gets packed by dinner time, so most of us come down around 3 pm in order to get a table without a long wait.
Vibrant, excited atmosphere-we were celebrating a birthday, and the atmosphere was fun! The beef dishes were excellent and the Spanish coffees were fun, served with flair table-side. It was a memorable evening, and I highly recommend Huber's for the food, atmosphere, and drinks.
My wife (nurse) normally works Thanksgiving so Friday is our family meal day. Huber's serves great roast turkey every day so that's where we go. Also, if we chose not to be traditional there are lots of other yummy items on the menu. This year we timed dinner so after we could walk to Pioneer Sq. for Holiday Tree Lighting & music.
Just a great place. The ambiance has old world charm. The staff is very cordial. The drinks are quality. A real favorite for people who like class. A place where you immediately feel you're wanted. Prices are not out of line. Food is above and beyond most restaurants. Very comfortable arrangement for your dining pleasure. It is very professional and never disapointing. I would recomend this restaurant to everyone except Obama.
We were meeting friends for Spanish Coffees and Lemon Drops before the tree lighting ceremony and the drinks were perfect! Also the appetizers. When we got to the ceremony and amongst 15,000 people, we ran into our waiter. It was so special! He didn't go to Bagby Hot Springs!
we showed up early and the took us right to our table. Everything was great except a little noisy and the waitress forgot to bring our appetizer.
Food was great. Service was slow. Not enough waiters for a Sunday evening.
I've lived in Portland since 1996 and had never been to Hubers but I heard all about their famous Spanish Coffees and excellent cuisine. After my experience last weekend, I wholeheartedly agree! The food was amazing-service outstanding-atmosphere comfortable. Our server checked on us enough to know that we were being taken care of but not so much that we ever felt interrupted. The clam chowder and pot pie Fabulous! And the Spanish Coffee?? not only did Hubers make a delectable alcohol-laded gem, they made it right in front of you. It was so fun to watch! Bravo Hubers! We'll be back!
We love visiting Portland for many reasons, and restaurants are high on the list. Don't know why it's taken us so long to find Huber's, but we'll definitely be returning. Our orders consisted of halibut and steak, both very nicely done. It was a bustling, busy evening, but our server was pleasant and attentive. The wine list was not extensive, but more than adequate. And finishing with the Spanish Coffee capped the meal very nicely.
Great lunch at Huber's. The only downside was it was a cold day and the bar side of the restaurant was very chilly. My friends and I left our coats on through lunch. Our meal and conversation were wonderful and distracting so I soon didn't notice it so much after a while. The rest of the experience was delightful. I'll be back.
My family has been frequenting Hubers for 4 generations and the restaurant still has the same allure. Great service awesome service and cocktails. Small and intimate yet great for parties. Go and enjoy the unique cuisine and friendly patrons.
It is always a positive experience at Hubers. I don't know if you send out emails for specials, but I would love to be on that list as I had the turkey cordon bleu once which I would dearly love to have again, but it is never on the menu when I am there.
Great food and great service but somewhat noisy. Not for a romantic date. Great for adult groups. .
Great place. Huber's was packed, however; the service was fantastic and helped make the time even more enjoyable.
Met friends at Hubers. Two of us had the classic ham and turkey dinners. Another, a salad, and cioppino. Of course , we had to get teh spanish coffee for desert. Just perfect on a cold wintry day.

So pay a visit to the 'home of cricket' in leafy NW8, visit the spiritual home of horse racing at The National Stud in Suffolk, and pack a picnic and head to Henley for the Royal Regatta.
