"Mr. Brooks" isn't a great movie. It might not even be a good one. But I have to admit, it sure is a lot of fun. Any film with (a) Dane Cook as a wannabe serial killer and (b) Demi Moore as a millionaire cop is going to be more than a little goofy, but that's why "Mr. Brooks" is so insidiously enjoyable.
"Mr. Brooks" isn't a great movie. It might not even be a good one. But I have to admit, it sure is a lot of fun.
Any film with (a) Dane Cook as a wannabe serial killer and (b) Demi Moore as a millionaire cop is going to be more than a little goofy, but that's why "Mr. Brooks" is so insidiously enjoyable. Written and directed by Bruce A. Evans, the movie packs in so many oddball characters and out-of-left-field plot twists that you can't help but admire it in a strange way. As silly as "Mr. Brooks" is, it's never boring, and no matter how much you shake your head in disbelief, you can't help but wonder what the heck is going to happen next.

Kevin Costner plays Earl Brooks, a fine, upstanding citizen of Portland, Ore., who happens to be a serial killer. He's not a bad guy, the movie takes pains to explain, he's just addicted to killing people. (In one of the movie's witty twists, Costner's character tries to kick his murderous habit by attending a 12-step group.)
Trouble is, scratching that murderous itch isn't the only problem Brooks has. A twitchy young guy (Cook) spotted him during a recent murder and now wants to tag along. A desperate detective (Moore) is hot on his trail. And his college-student daughter (Danielle Panabaker) has dropped out and announced she's pregnant. What could be worse? Well, I don't want to spoil any twists, but let's just say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Carrying all this craziness on his shoulders is Costner, delivering a low-key performance as the only sensible person in the movie. As "Mr. Brooks" piles on more crazy elements (another serial killer, a hatcher murder, a divorce case), Costner just soldiers on, trying to keep his cool while his imaginary friend (William Hurt) tries to get him to kill a few more people.
"Mr. Brooks" is no "Seven" or "Silence of the Lambs," but it's fast-paced, looks great and — above all — is surprisingly entertaining. Just writing this review and rerunning it in my head made me realize it was even better than I first thought. Most movies are safe, sane and predictable. "Mr. Brooks" is none of those, God bless its screwy little heart.
True love
If "Mr. Brooks" isn't far-fetched enough for you, you might want to check out "Crazy Love." The premise: Decades ago, a geeky guy is so obsessed with a beautiful young woman that he hires some thugs to throw acid in her face, blinding her. The twist: Years later, they fall in love and get married. The BIG twist: It really happened.
"Crazy Love" is the story of Burt Pugach and Linda Riss, a New York couple whose 50-year relationship ranks among the strangest on record. I'd never heard their story, but apparently it was quite the news sensation in the late '50s and early '60s. "Crazy Love" includes many of those lurid headlines, but the movie is mostly a collection of talking heads (Burt, Linda and their friends) telling the whole sordid, strangely touching story. It's fascinating, and there's a moral, too: The heart wants what the heart wants and nothing — absolutely nothing — is going to stop it.

□ On May 20, 2013, a large funnel touched down in Grady County, Oklahoma. Similar in many ways to the devastating Bridge Creek tornado of 1999, the storm travelled at a fairly slow pace and was tracked by weather helicopters as it roared towards the southern suburbs of Oklahoma City. The tornado rapidly strengthened as it crossed Drexel Avenue and likely reached EF5 intensity three miles west of Moore. A pronounced streak of ground scouring marked the tornado's inner core as it travelled almost due east through a low density residential area with dozens of large, well-constructed homes. A three-story mansion on South Mays Avenue was nearly leveled by the tornado despite being spared the storm's most intense winds. Residences impacted directly by the tornado were swept completely away and adjacent trees were stripped of all bark and branches. Vehicles from destroyed homes were thrown over a quarter mile and mangled beyond recognition. After crossing Western Avenue, the core of the storm travelled parallel to a residential subdivision before slamming into Briarwood Elementary School at EF5 intensity. After destroying the school, the tornado entered a densely populated section of Moore at high-end EF4 intensity. Every home within a 150 yard wide swath was completely leveled as the storm made a turn to the northeast. Damage patterns indicate that the tornado briefly reached EF5 strength a second time as it crossed over Plaza Towers Elementary and adjacent homes. More than half of the fatalities occurred in this area.
The tornado continued curving to the northeast before reaching Telephone Road, at which point the storm made a turn to the east-southeast. The northernmost building affected by EF4 winds was a 7-Eleven convenient store where four people sheltering in a walk-in freezer were killed. After crossing the I-35, the tornado abruptly narrowed but continued leaving a streak of EF4 damage. The tornado's final fatality occurred just west of Highland East Junior High School. In total, the tornado destroyed more than 1,500 homes and caused nearly 2 billion dollars in damage. I surveyed the damage in Moore in the last week of May. My final analysis can be found at bottom.
Personal Damage Survey Conclusions: Due to my belief that the Enhanced Fujita Scale grossly underestimates winds in violent tornadoes, the wind ranges I utilize are based on my research, discussions with wind engineers and comparisons between known surface readings and adjacent damage indicators in past tornadoes. My wind estimates are significantly higher than those employed by the National Weather Service.
Peak Intensity: EF5 (260mph+)
□ The Moore tornado likely reached EF5 intensity just east of Drexel Avenue and largely maintained this intensity up until it impacted Briarwood Elementary. The worst damage was confined within a 30-yard wide streak that was made visible by ground scouring and extreme vegetation damage. The largest trees impacted by the storm were stripped completely of bark and branches in a manner congruent with the most intense documented tornadoes. Vehicles were pulverized and large cargo containers and other objects weighing well over 10,000lbs were hurled more than a mile. Well-constructed two-story homes were swept completely away in areas just west of Moore. A secondary intensity maxima may have occurred from Plaza Towers Elementary to just west of the Moore Medical Center, where several entire streets of homes was reduced to concrete slabs. Pronounced wind rowing was visible in aerial photographs and grass was ripped from the ground. Metal fence posts with light concrete anchorage were bent to the ground or completely uprooted by a mixture of debris impacts and extreme winds.

If you
have a normal heart, you have a low risk for endocarditis. But if
you have a problem with your heart that affects normal blood flow through the heart, it is more
likely that bacteria or fungi will attach to heart tissue. This puts you at a
higher risk for endocarditis.
If you have certain heart conditions, getting endocarditis is even more
dangerous for you. These heart conditions include:
If you have any of these heart conditions, you may need to take
antibiotics before you have certain dental or surgical procedures that could
put bacteria or fungi into your blood. The antibiotics lower your risk of
getting endocarditis. If you do not have these conditions, antibiotics are not likely to help you.
For more information, read about what procedures may require antibiotics to prevent endocarditis.
Your doctor can tell you whether you need to take antibiotics. Before you
have any medical, dental, or surgical procedures, tell all other health
professionals who may treat you that you are at risk for endocarditis.
Your doctor can issue you a special card to carry in your wallet if
you require preventive antibiotics before certain dental or surgical
procedures. Your condition and specific antibiotic requirements are outlined on
this card, which is signed by your doctor.
Although antibiotics are useful in minimizing the risk of
endocarditis, your doctor may not always recommend them, in order to protect
your health. The medical community has several reasons for not advising all
people with valve problems to take antibiotics:
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria (such as those that
cause endocarditis) have the ability to resist drugs that were previously
able to kill them. Although antibiotic resistance is most common in situations
that involve improper, unnecessary, and incomplete use of prescription
antibiotics, resistance can also occur through correct antibiotic
Antibiotic resistance is dangerous, because one type of bacteria
can acquire the ability to survive certain drugs and then exchange this ability
with other types of bacteria. When resistance to a particular medicine is
widespread, the antibiotic becomes ineffective. Then scientists must find an
adequate replacement. Since the only way for bacteria to develop resistance is
through exposure to these antibiotics, doctors try to use these drugs only when
appropriate and necessary, reducing the chances of resistance.
Always try to prevent antibiotic resistance, since resistant
bacteria are more dangerous to your valves. This can be done by:

This week the House is expected to vote on a disaster relief package for those impacted by lengthy drought.
To read the legislation, see here.
The summary of the disaster legislation being considered in the House reads:
"Section 1. Short Title.
"Section 2. Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance.
With 64 percent of the contiguous United States experiencing drought, it is important that our nation's livestock producers be provided with effective risk management tools. The current livestock disaster policies expired in September 2011, one year before the end of the 2008 farm bill. This legislation would re-authorize these policies for fiscal year 2012. Specifically, Livestock Indemnity Payments (LIP), Livestock Forage Disaster Programs (LFP), Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-raised Fish (ELAP), and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) are all generally reauthorized.
"Section 3. Modification of Certain Conservation Programs.
To pay for this disaster assistance, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program is capped at $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2013 and the Conservation Stewardship Program is capped at 11 million acres in fiscal year 2013. These offsets are consistent with levels previously established by enacted appropriations -- which reduced levels authorized by the Agriculture Committees -- and will still allow these important programs to function at recent funding levels."
Not surprisingly, Section 3 is especially unwelcome among environmental groups.
"Although it is critically important that those ranchers who have been affected by the devastating drought get the disaster assistance that they need, this bill offsets the aid through steep, disproportionate cuts to the conservation title," said Julie Sibbing, director of agriculture and forestry at the National Wildlife Federation. "We need Congress to act now to provide aid to ranchers in need, but this should not be a choice between robbing Peter and paying Paul.
"Cutting conservation programs to pay for disaster relief would be short-sighted and irresponsible; conservation programs help to build soil health and resilience that buffer extreme weather events such as droughts. As we've seen in recent weeks, some of the only forage available in drought-prone areas has been through emergency haying and grazing on Conservation Reserve Program land. By cutting conservation programs now, we are only ensuring high future costs."

At the beginning of May, 1948, he was active in the region of Negba as the head of an armored force of Palmach. He was the right hand man of the Negba commander Yitzchak Dubno of blessed memory. When the Egyptians invaded, he was a machine gunner in the front lines against Irak A-Syudan guard. At times of need, he was also involved in laying mines. He went out to the minefields each night to gather the weapons and armor that had been left by the enemy. In his final activity, he went out to lay mines around an Egyptian tank that was stationed between Negba and Irak A-Syudan. He fell a few hours after the commencement of the second truce of that period, on 12 Tammuz 5708 (July 19, 1948). He was buried in Negba.
From Yizkor of the Defense Office 5617 / 1957
[Pages 190-191]
On Friday 27 Tammuz 5696 (July 17, 1936) he was killed by shots from an ambush next to Kfar Kakon, as he was returning to Hadera from his work in the neighboring orchards. He was 22 when he died.
[Page 191]
He and his three sisters were educated by their elderly grandmother. In the Land he was a driver. He was injured on the road as he was sitting at the steering wheel, and he died.
He was always prepared for this. After the death of his friend Kamchi, he said to his friends: You will see that I will also fall as I am at the wheel on the road. Regarding the question Why, for what reason, do you drive on the roads during these days? He would answer: Who will drive? It is forbidden to show them that we are cowards and people who give in.

Anshel Asher Kamchi
In his diary entry from 4 Nisan 5689 (1929), I found the following written, along with everything else: I desire to defend my people with my blood and my soul. He was 14 years old at the time. Years passed, and he became fully immersed in the pioneering youth movement. He influenced his friends in the gymnasium to follow after him, and they did so. He had the power of persuasion, and many of his friends respected this appropriately. With Anshel in Gordonia was also our place. While he was still a child, just beginning to read books, he would bring friends of his age to the couch near the hot fireplace during winter days and read to them Jewish history, especially the legends of the strength of our nation in ancient days.
Chaim Kamchi
Two weeks before his death, he wrote to his friend Mordechai Ziserman about his work situation and how he became accustomed to it. The following is the content:
I wandered about for many weeks and was not able to get myself set up with work. I was very worried, for I saw no possibilities before me. I returned to Hadera. After weeks of idleness, I began to work in an orchard for 15 grush a day. I could not continue in that orchard. I found another place where I worked only until the outbreak of the disturbances, for the orchard was located near Kakon, a dangerous Arab village. After two weeks of idleness, I worked once again for 14 days in another orchard. Later I transferred to this orchard where I now work in spurts, for it is also located in a dangerous place. However I hope that I will be able to earn enough to sustain myself, if only I remain healthy. I got used to work quite well. I passed through the most difficult period of getting used to a working life, and now I have no more fear of work, for I participated in the most difficult tasks in the orchard and did not retreat. I work hard and return from work tired. I would be happy if the few hours of rest would be richer in content, but I have not yet found this. I have male and female friends, but I am not sufficiently interested in them so as to be able to spend time in their company and forget the tribulations of the day of work. If only we were together, friends from the past, it would undoubtedly be good for us. Of course now, with the agitated state of life, we cannot think about actualizing our plans.

Moshe Roitman
He was born in Orheyev in 1899. He assisted his father in the sheep and cattle trade while he was still a lad. However, business was not in his spirit, and he was attracted to the work of the land. Moshe went out in 1917 to work in the fields with his brother and two of their friends.
He joined the Forer group in 1920 and made aliya to the Land. He remained in Haifa, and looked for work already on his first day there. He started in a bakery and moved over to the port. He was among the defenders during the disturbances of 1921.
That year, we arrived in the Land as a group of chalutzim, and Moshe greeted us with words of encouragement. He advised us to join a group of porters who work at the port (the group of Berel Raptor).
Moshe excelled with his diligence and eagerness. After some time, we obtained animals for the work. The competition from the Arab wagon drivers was fierce, however thanks to the connections Moshe had with the Arab merchants, and his talent of being able to forge good relations with whomever he came into contact, we were able to withstand the competition for two years. When the group broke up, Moshe continued to work among the Arabs on his own. Moshe was a strong, fearless youth. One day, he decided to open up a butcher shop in the Arab marketplace in Haifa. He had to pay rent for the store, and he was a Jew among the Arabs. He trusted in himself and in his relations with his Arabic acquaintances that nothing bad would happen to him
When the disturbances of 1929 broke out, we warned him and begged him not to go to the marketplace. However he laughed and said, I am not afraid. He went and did not return. He was murdered by one of his neighbors.
Moshe, the fine land, my friend who was loved by his fellowman, was brought to burial without any opportunity to bid him farewell. Only four friends, myself included, were given permission by the British to accompany him to the cemetery in lower Haifa, to be buried among the rest of the victims in Haifa.
May his soul be bound in the bonds of eternal life.

Menachem Rotkov
Menachem the son of Mordechai and Tzipora Rotkov was born in Orheyev on November 11, 1925. He was educated in the Tarbut School in his city, and he made aliya to the Land with his parents in 1936, and continued his studies. Due to the difficult economic circumstances of the family, he was forced to end his studies at age 13. After a long and difficult job search, he was accepted by the Afk Bank. He quickly demonstrated his practical talents, diligence, his love of order, dedication to work, and primarily his well-developed sense of responsibility. He endeared himself to his workmates and to his entire surroundings. He joined Hatzofim and Gordonia, and devoted most of his free time to work in the movement. He decided to go to Hachshara (preparation for agricultural work in Israel), but he had to delay this for two years due to the situation with his family, until his father found a job. Only then, at the age of 17, did he go to Degania Alef. About a year later, he transferred to Neve Eitan, and there to his permanent place in the Chermonim group (Chemdia). He was a member of the secretariat of Chemdia, the central work committee, the organizer of work, and the security forces. He was the first to fill any responsible and dangerous task, without hesitation. He saw service in the Haganah as a personal obligation and found his place at all times, even though by nature he was not one who thirsted for battle. He excelled with his straightforwardness, his external neatness and the pureness of his heart. He was modest in his actions, a lover of peace, a faithful friend to his friends, and a dedicated and beloved child to his parents.
He formed a strong bond with the land and its soil. At the age of 14, he was one of the first of the demonstrators against the While Paper. He was injured during the demonstration. He always bore the idea of national independence and communal life upon his heart. He desired a life of labor and creativity. He gave expression to all of his thoughts and desires in his letters and articles.
As a soldier and a commander, he had great influence upon his men with his appearance, his personality, his persuasive talents and his faith. He bestowed of himself upon his charges. He was drafted in May 1948, and served as a company commander of the 13th squadron of the Golani Brigade. He participated in the defense of the farms in the region of Beit Shean, Gilboa and the Jezreel Valley. At the end of the first ceasefire, on July 9, 1948, the Iraqis opened a large attack and began to advance in the direction of Zarin. Some of their forces turned to the eastern Gilboa in the direction of Sandala-Mizaar. Menachem and his squadron were in the brigade whose task it was to check the advance of the enemy in that direction and to guard the left flank of our forces. A soldier of his squadron was injured during the battle with the enemy on July 10, 1948. Menachem left his fortification and hastened to assist the injured soldier. On his way he was shot in the neck and he fell on the spot. Due to the conditions, his corpse remained on the spot along with the rest of those who fell in the battle. Only after 30 days were the bodies of the martyrs given over to the hands of the Israel Defense Forces, and Menachem was brought to burial in the cemetery of his kibbutz.
May his soul be bound in the bonds of eternal life.

The Barry University campus recently received a technological upgrade in the form of some new gadgetry; the university has purchased a laptop check-out station and a cellphone charging booth. The new equipment, which is housed in the Monsignor William Barry Memorial Library, is meant to increase student and staff accessibility to the latest technological needs.
The new laptop checkout station is a self-dispensing kiosk with 24 computers. The station utilizes a card-swipe reader and a digital touch screen to allow students easy access to computer use. For tracking purposes, the kiosk is equipped with web cameras which take digital photographs of all patrons using the computers. The new station is located on the second floor of the library near the ramp entrance.
Members of the Barry community with an active Barry account and ID card can check out the computers during regular library hours and borrow the computers for 24 hours free of charge. After the initial 24 hour period, patrons may be charged up to $10 per hour for the next 24 hours. If not returned after 48 hours, computers will be considered stolen and student accounts may be billed for the full replacement cost of the computer and students may face charges of violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
The state-of-the-art station features 24 Dell Latitude E6430 laptops with the Windows 7 operating system. Each computer contains an Intel Core processor, a 500 GB hard drive, a 14" high definition LED screen, a light sensitive webcam, noise canceling headphones, and an 8X DVD+/- RW optical drive.
The computers contain Deepfreeze software which will reset factory software settings upon return to the kiosk. The computers are powered by 9-cell batteries which will allow students approximately five to six hours of use.
In addition to the laptop kiosk, the technology upgrade also included a Kwikboost floor stand cell phone charging station. The charging station is a full speed, multi-device kiosk capable of charging eight phones at one time. The stand provides cables for four apple devices, three Micro USB inputs, and one Mini USB input. The Kwikboost station is located on the second floor of the library. The university plans to purchase five additional kiosks to be placed in Thompson, Wiegand, Landon, Weber, and Dalton & Dunspaugh.

the original, the best....Flo-Master is everything
- so cool
A Message from Founder and Curator Lou Brooks, As.D.
elcome, artists and aficionados alike, to the home of
The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies,
where tools of the trade that have died or have just about died a slow death are cheerfully exhibited — as well as those that perhaps don't get invited to lunch as much as they used to!
The Museum now features more fun than you deserve, and shows over 700 images of art supply artifacts, all contributed by visitors like you! As always, your comments are appreciated and most welcome.
Note: Recently, there have been reports that some of you have been looking for the Museum – wandering far from your homes, often running out of gas and having to spend the night sleeping in your car. The Museum is NOT a real place with Doric marble columns and a Museum guard named "Pop" with a rusty gun. It's only a dream Lou's having, and he's very happy that you're all in it!
We welcome you to submit images of any ghosts of graphic arts past for our consideration.

National Louis is an Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) teacher preparation partner. Together with AUSL, NLU has developed a nationally recognized model that combines theory and practice for demonstrably improving student achievement in high-need urban schools. Through the "urban teacher residency" approach, the NLU/AUSL program structures teacher preparation more like the clinical model used to train doctors. For a full year, the teaching residents spend four days a week in an AUSL classroom in training with a mentor teacher, while also taking graduate courses at National Louis.
NLU has worked with AUSL since 2001 and the National College of Education (NCE) faculty created the curriculum for this teacher residency program that has put AUSL at the forefront of urban school turnaround success. AUSL has evolved into a comprehensive turnaround specialist— one that combines teacher and principal training, practical application of best practices, applied research, outcome assessment, partnerships with parents, high expectations for student achievement and new learning paradigms to transform low-performing elementary and high schools in the Chicago Public School System into schools of excellence.
The NLU/AUSL Chicago Teacher Residency is an intensive 12-month, full-time, paid program that provides teacher preparation, licensure and a graduate degree. Career-changers and new college graduates with bachelor's degrees in fields other than education can earn their teaching license and a master's degree. Licensed teachers with a desire to receive further training for urban settings are eligible to earn a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Urban Teaching. Following the training year, graduates commit to teach in Chicago Public Schools for at least four years.
To enable residents to make a full-time commitment to training during the residency-training year, AUSL's Chicago Teacher Residency Program provides an attractive package of financial support. Financial aid and loan forgiveness are available to help residents offset their Master's degree tuition costs.

Total time:
1 hour, plus 45 minutes roasting time for the garlic
6 to 8
Adapted from "Autumn Gatherings: Casual Food to Enjoy With Family and Friends" by Rick Rodgers. He notes, "Roasted garlic is a great thing to have in the refrigerator, ready to perk up your everyday cooking. I often take a few seconds to prepare a couple of heads and toss them in the oven when I am roasting something else. One autumn Saturday, when I wanted a warming soup after gardening, I made this soup from what was on hand, and now it's a staple."
1 large, plump head of garlic
Olive oil, for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch broccoli, about 1 3/4 pounds
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. To roast the garlic, cut off the top one-half inch of the garlic head to make a "lid." Drizzle the cut surfaces with a little olive oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Replace the lid. Wrap the garlic in foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until the garlic is tender and a rich golden color, about 45 minutes. Unwrap and cool. The garlic can now be used for the soup, or wrapped in plastic and refrigerated until ready to use, up to 1 week.
2. Meanwhile, cut the florets from the broccoli stalks. Coarsely chop the florets, then peel and coarsely chop the stalks.
3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped broccoli and potato.
4. Add the broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pot. Simmer until the potato is very tender, about 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, squeeze the roasted garlic into the pot, discarding the hulls. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Puree the soup in batches using a blender, or in the pot using an immersion blender. Serve hot. This makes about 2 1/2 quarts soup.

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.It features rugged rocky coastlines, dense forests, fun cities, mountains, deep canyons, and desert in the southeastern part of the state.
Other destinations[edit]
If driving in Oregon, be aware of a state law that does not allow self-service at gas stations. A gas station attendant must pump the gas. (Note: As of 2018, rural counties under 40,000 people allow you to pump your own gas, or at the very least offer it during overnight hours.)
Also, be aware that the name of the state is pronounced "Ore'-gun" or "OR-ih-gun"; Rather than 'or-eh-GONE' (it hasn't "gone" anywhere!")
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
The four largest commercial passenger airports in Oregon are:
For most of eastern Oregon, the Boise Airport (BOI) in Idaho is the closest. Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco, Washington (PSC) is also nearby for locations further north, but still east of the Cascades.
Portland International is served non-stop by most major airlines and by several international carriers. It is the only international port of entry for Oregon, with daily non-stops from Tokyo, Amsterdam, and a few Canadian cities. Delta [13] now offers a regular non-stop service to Portland from London Heathrow.
The three smaller airports are served non-stop by feeder lines to Portland and other regional hubs such as San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City. Salem Airport no longer has passenger service.
By bus[edit]
In addition to Greyhound there are other companies operating buses to/from places not served by Greyhound Lines:
By car[edit]
Oregon has two Interstate Highways:
Federal and state highways effectively serve the remainder of the state, arranged in a grid-like lattice, but warped by mountain ranges:
Oregon is one of two states in the U.S. (the other state being New Jersey) a gas attendant must serve gas for you. You cannot serve gas yourself by law. The speed limit along the interstates is generally 65 miles per hour (mph) except in the urban areas of interstate 5 where it is 55 mph. On highways it is generally 55 mph. For more details see Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 811.111 [14] and 810.180 [15].
By train[edit]
Amtrak offers several ways to enter and travel throughout Oregon by train:
For more information, see Amtrak's website, Wikitravel's article Rail travel in the United States, or the Wikipedia pages on each of this train services.
By bicycle[edit]
The Oregon Coast is a premier destination for cycling, although traffic, narrow shoulders, heavy winds and rains, and windy roads make it dangerous. Nevertheless, many people cycle the entire Oregon Coast each year. In the summer months take Highway 101 north to south starting in Astoria through Lincoln City and onto Brookings to get breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The prevailing winds will be at your back all summer long. For the seasoned cyclist head north in winter months as the winds are out of the SW at that time of year.
By foot[edit]
The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (which runs from Canada to Mexico) passes through Oregon along the Cascade Mountains. With almost no civilization along its route and very few highway crossings (four in the northern 150 miles of the trail), it is exceptional for experiencing nature while avoiding civilization.
See[edit][add listing]
Hundreds of species of birds and wildlife in Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Unlike most US states, Oregon has no sales tax. There is no tax included in posted prices and no tax is added at the till. This is worth bearing in mind if you're planning on making any large purchases during an interstate trip.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Drink[edit][add listing]
As with almost everywhere else in the U.S., the legal drinking and purchasing age of alcoholic beverages is 21. And as with many states, Oregon uses loopholes in the federal law to allow underage drinking. Underage drinking is allowed on private non-alcohol selling premises with parental consent, as long as the parent or legal guardian is 21 or older. Sacramental wine can only be allowed for underage drinking as part of religious rite. [20]
From the coastal hamlets to the valley cities to the remote towns of the high desert, Oregonians drink, and proudly. Because of the growing wine and microbrewery industries in the state which produce drink of world-class quality, having a tipple and touring beverage facilities is a popular pastime for Oregon residents and tourists alike. It is occasionally joked that one cannot throw a cat in the city of Portland without hitting a bar (though one shouldn't: the PETA people there can be touchy and rather humorless, especially regarding the hurling of cute little kitties), while most other towns of any appreciable size have at least two places in which one can imbibe. Yes, the drinking culture here is strong, and if you like to pickle your giblets then you'll be in heaven.
Oregon is an "Alcoholic Beverage Control State" and as such requires all distilled spirits to be sold by state-approved outlets. Because the liquor stores purchase their wares from the state at an inflated and heavily-taxed cost, liquor by the bottle or by the shot can run your booze bill up pretty quickly. Fortunately, Oregon has no shot size regulation (such as, say, Utah has) and many bars - especially in the Portland area - pour their drinks quite liberally; in fact, a literal three fingers of whiskey is not uncommon if you know the barkeep. Bottoms-up, but don't bottom out!
There are no "blue laws" concerning time of alcohol sales other than a daily 2:30-7:00 AM restriction, so if you like "kegs and eggs" for your Sunday breakfast, Oregon's your kind of place. Also, Oregon's alcohol laws are unitary within the state and are wholly overseen by the Oregon Liquor Control Comission (OLCC), so there's no need to worry about dry towns or dry counties.
Finally, bartenders in Oregon seem to be a bit more strict about checking ID than those in many other states. This likely due to the aforementioned OLCC, which is known to be nothing short of draconian when it comes to the enforcement of laws regarding the furnishing of alcohol to minors by service workers and punishment under the same. If you look under 30 (or even 40!), just hand them your ID card / passport before you order because they will ask for it. There is also a total indoor smoking ban in all places but cigar and hookah bars.
Oregon has a large number of local microbrews, and several breweries whose beverages are distributed outside the state. Most are happy to host guests for tastings, and many are accompanied by restaurants and gift shops.
In recent years, Oregon has become renown as an outstanding wine producing region in its own right, with a range of temperate climates that allow the production of vintages significantly different from neighboring vineyards and wineries in California. Oregon is particularly well-known for its distinguished Pinot Noirs, and is well-suited to grow Burgundian and Alsacian verietals. A diverse arrangement of climates, though, fosters a range of other grapes throughout the state.
Some of the larger, more well-known wineries and vineyards are:
Liquor in Oregon is sold in specifically-licensed stores (though supermarkets may still sell wine and beer). There are several well-known distilleries:
Information regarding Portland's Distillery Row can be found at http://www.distilleryrowpdx.com/ .
Oregonians are fanatically proud of the natural beauty of their state; littering or otherwise causing harm to the scenic beauty - including wildlife - found here is bound to draw attention to you that you probably do not want, up to and including that special type which only an officer of the law can give.
The rainy weather is also a pillar of Oregonian pride, and complaining about it or using an umbrella is extremely taboo.
That being said, keep in mind that while Portland and the rest of the Willamette Valley is very cosmopolitan and culturally similar to San Francisco and Seattle, Eastern Oregon and Southern Oregon are more akin to Idaho and Nevada; that is to say, quite conservative. Contrary to popular belief, not all Oregonians are liberal, a fact which will become abundantly clear to you on a trip to a place such as Burns, La Grande, or Prineville.
State issues in general tend to be divided along Willamette / non-Willamette lines (that is, large cities within the valley such as Eugene and Portland / smaller cities along the coast, around the mountains, and in the high desert), and some resentment between these groups may be uncovered. The State of Jefferson, a region of southern Oregon and northern California marked by a period of attempted secession during the first half of the 20th century, retains a very independent mindset: Jefferson Public Radio and the State of Jefferson Chamber of Commerce are two indicators of a retained degree of autonomy from this period.
Stay safe[edit]
Oregonians are known for being exceptionally kind and welcoming people; accordingly, violent crime in Oregon is quite low and visitors are not likely to have any harm come to them during their stay. Be aware, however, that violence has been on the rise in the Portland and Salem areas due to increasing gang activity. Property crime is a problem in any metropolis. For hazards specific to certain cities, please see their respective WikiTravel pages.
If you are in need of emergency assistance, dial 911 on your phone.
The current laws regarding Marijuana in Oregon are similar to that of Washington, Alaska, and Colorado. Residents or visitors of Oregon can possess up to 1 ounce (28 grams) of marijuana. It is legal to posses up to 1 ounce of cannabis while traveling. And to give as a gift to someone who's of legal age. DO NOT bring marijuana out under any circumstances of the state, into any indian reservation that deemed it illegal, nor any federal enclave. Or you will be charged under both state and federal law. It is Legal for Medical Marijuana dispensaries to sell up to 7 grams of weed and/or up to 4 marijuana clones per day to persons 21 or older (although prices are ridiculous).
As for "hard drugs", you're better off avoiding them. Due to the state's awful methamphetamine wave of the 1980's - 2000's, there is very little tolerance in this area and a number of tough laws passed in response to the epidemic will all but ensure that you will be involved with the legal system for a long time to come and at great expense. Another side effect of the state's notorious methamphetamine problem is that any medication containing pseudoephedrine (e.g. Sudafed) is treated as a Class III Controlled Substance of the Controlled Substance Act and thus requires a prescription. This also means that one must prove that they have a prescription to be in possession of such medications, so if one is coming from out-of-state it is a good idea to leave it at home.
Psychoactive mushrooms grow naturally here and abundantly, but, of course, possession is illegal.
Natural Hazards[edit]
Natural hazards are also few, but include mountaineering fatalities (Mt. Hood in particular). Tsunamis on the coast are very rare, but have occurred; make note of the "Evacuation Route" signs. For information on the state's hazard assessment, visit the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research [21]. Sudden snowstorms in the Cascade Mountains from October to May occur and could lead to increased avalanche danger. The usual perils of desert travel in the Southeastern part of the state could be eminent if you are unprepared, so always follow desert survival guidelines; and rattlesnakes, bears and other wildlife (particularly east of the Cascade range).
Travel Hazards[edit]
If you venture out of the Willamette Valley during your stay, be sure that your automobile is well fueled and in suitable condition: while Portland is modern and well-populated, Eastern Oregon includes some of the most sparsely populated areas in the United States. Harney County in the Southeast region of the state, for example, is slightly smaller than Massachusetts but is the home to only about 7,000 people. Breaking down out there will, in best case scenarios, make for a very long and annoying day; at worst, the consequences can be tragic. In rural areas, be aware that many seemingly passable roads are truly impassable for large portions of fall, winter and spring. Apparent routes or shortcuts across mountainous areas and deserts should be validated with locals before attempting - deep snow has captured the vehicle of many a tourist or day tripper who ventured into unknown territory and pushed when they should have exercised better judgment.

Public services such as police, fire and schools, are adapting to meet the needs of people who speak little or no English.
On a sunny weekday morning upstairs in the Coolidge School building, an elderly Asian man haltingly read from a worksheet while his classmates looked on with interest.
"One thing I like about the United States is freedom and democracy," said the man, helped along by instructor Dee Bent.
Once the man finished, Bent congratulated him and showed the beginners' English class how the man had been translating from Chinese characters to English.
"Good job!" said a few of his classmates and the rest clapped for the older man, who beamed.
Being an immigrant isn't easy. Learning a new language can be difficult, whatever your age, and the culture shock can be isolating and hard to adjust to.
Although the vast majority of Maynard residents speak English, there is a significant percentage of those with less-than-perfect English skills. The U.S. Census report from 2000, the most recent data available, reports 1,102 out of Maynard's 9,715 residents age 5 or older speak a language other than English.
About 29 percent, or 322 people, say they speak English less than "very well."
Armed with a mixture of state, federal and private resources, Maynard is helping new immigrants' lives get a little easier as they acclimate to the United States.Emergency services
The Maynard Police and Fire departments, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Statewide Emergency Telecommunications Board, have contracted with Qwest/NetworkOmni for interpretation services. The company provides what it calls over-the-phone interpretation — a translation service emergency dispatchers can use if a call comes in from someone who isn't speaking English.
The languages available for translation range from French and Spanish to less-common languages such as Welsh and Gujarati, a language spoken in India and Pakistan, among other places.
According to Police Chief James Corcoran, the software is free and relatively simple to use:
"We hit a transfer key and talk to a live operator. We go from there," he said.
Most of the non-English speakers who call in speak Spanish or Portuguese as their primary language, said Corcoran.
Corcoran said he was not sure if his department has ever used the translation service. The police department does have one officer who speaks fluent Portuguese and the department will call on members of the community to translate if needed, he said.
Police run up against language barriers a couple times a month, Corcoran said.
"We do the best with what we have," he said, noting most language problems tend to work themselves out.
The police department can also reach out to other area departments for translation assistance if needed, said Corcoran.
"[Our] procedure is to try to find someone who can help you out. Ninety-nine percent of the time, someone [at the scene] can understand some English," said Fire Chief Stephen Kulik in an interview.
Kulik said with medical issues, Maynard's firefighters are usually able to make do with gestures and hand-signals.
"We go with signs and symptoms and we can usually do a pretty accurate job there," he said.
The fire department currently doesn't have any firefighters who speak a language other than English.
"I certainly do look at that when I review candidates," said Kulik. "It's always an incredible plus."Maynard schools
Amadee Meyer teaches English as a second language (ESL) at Green Meadow Elementary School and Fowler Middle School. For the 2007-2008 school year, Meyer said, she has 23 students from first- to eighth-grade in the ESL program.
Many of her students are from what she calls "the big three": Puerto Rico, Haiti and Brazil.
Children present a special challenge for an ESL instructor. Although it is relatively easy for children to pick up the chatter of the playground, reading and writing skills are a different matter, said Meyer.
Some teachers see children speaking English to their classmates but then see those same students struggle with their reading and writing skills. The teachers may assume the student has a learning disability and move the student into special education, when in reality the student is struggling because of a language barrier, not a learning disability, said Meyer.This scenario is "one of my biggest struggles," said Meyer.
Meyer said the most successful ESL students are those who have been educated well in their first language up to through fourth-grade. If by that point the child can read and write in their native toungue, it makes tackling English easier, she said.
For some students, even if they were born in the United States, kindergarten is their first exposure to English, said Meyer.
The research says it takes about five to seven years for a student to become English proficient, in general, said Meyer. But for a student who enters kindergarten without any previous ability in reading or writing, it can take longer — seven to 10 years, she said.
Students facing that delay may even have difficulty on 10th grade English language arts MCAS, said Meyer.
Kids can get lost in the shuffle — sometimes they move and are lost in the system, said Meyer. Other times they bounce back and forth between the United States and their home country, further complicating learning.
But there are success stories. As an example, Meyer said she had a Haitian student enter the third grade with no formal schooling. By the end of the school year, however, he had learned so much he was starting to read English at a fourth-grade level."The students do get a lot of support," said Meyer.
Thanks to a grant from the Maynard Education Foundation, Meyer now has about 10 iPods that she plans to lend out to students so they can practice their listening and speaking skills at home.The facts
According to data from the Massachusetts Department of Education from the 2006-2007 school year, 4.9 percent of students in Maynard do not speak English as a first language. A smaller number, 2.2 percent, are classified as "limited English proficient," which gives them access to English learning resources.
Jill Greene, director of student services for the school district, said in an interview the state provides guidelines for teaching students who are termed "limited English proficient" or LEP.
"When students first come to the district or there's a question about their English proficiency, we'll do an assessment and determine if they fall into this LEP category," she said.
There are "guidelines in terms of what are the skills the students need to be working on as well as in terms of their listening, speaking, reading and writing [skills]," said Greene. As the students move through the system, they are tracked and evaluated.
"It's like sheltered English immersion. You learn your content as you're learning English. They get support with both," said Greene.Adult education
The Hudson/Maynard Adult Learning Center holds English classes during the school year at the Coolidge School building and Town Hall on weekday mornings and evenings. There are three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
The classes are free and are funded by grants from the state Department of Education as well as private donations from organizations like Hudson Savings Bank, Middlesex Savings Bank and the Hudson Library.
The students come from all over the region, not just Maynard. There are currently about 250 students, the absolute maximum capacity, said Center Director Karl Baldrate.
"We have a waiting list of about 200 names. Some names have been on [the list] for over two years," said Baldrate.
"We run a concurrent curriculum and most of the students will sign in at the beginner's level and they follow the program all the way through," said Baldrate.
"Throughout the program, you see change in the student, as their ability to communicate gets better. They're feeling better about themselves, about their place in the community," said Baldrate.
Many students go on to further education, said Baldrate, getting their GED or going to community college.
On a recent Wednesday morning, the advanced class, which usually meets in Town Hall, met instead at Coolidge School to use the building's computer labs.
Paddi Gerondeau, the advanced class instructor, walked around the computer lab as her students used software from Rosetta Stone to test their English.
For one of the exercises, the students would listen to a phrase in English accompanied by a picture, like "This animal walks and swims but never flies," accompanied by a picture of a polar bear. The students then had to type out the phrase correctly or click and drag the correct word from a list of possible answers and put the words in the right order.
"Make sure your subject agrees with your verb tense," Gerondeau advised one of her students.
The classroom was colorfully decorated with paper cutouts of fall leaves, maps and pictures from recent Red Sox victories over the Los Angeles Angels.
Hue Thi Vo, 21, is originally from Vietnam and came to the United States about a year ago to live with her mother in Worcester. The two work at Pro Nails salon in Stow.
Vo was in the beginners' class and spoke halting but clear English. She said since signing up for the classes two months ago, her English has improved.
Alla Ohorilko, 39, and her husband, Vasyl, were in the advanced class. She and her husband emigrated from Ukraine about five years ago, she said.
Vasyl was a circus acrobat, said Alla, and they originally started working in Canada before getting work in the United States. Vasyl now teaches gymnastics and Alla is a clinical assistant at a dental practice in Needham. They live in Boxborough.
The classes are "very helpful to me," said Alla. She said she now writes better and speaks better English than ever before.
All three levels joined together in the main lobby area for hot chocolate, snacks and tea. Many greeted each other enthusiastically in English. There were a few pockets of Spanish and Portuguese speakers.
The day before, the beginners played the intermediates in baseball on the field outside Coolidge. Students gathered around the pictures instructors Joyce Rossingol and Dee Bent passed around and a few remarked, "Next time, soccer!"

Barickman Calls for Hearing on Controversial Quinn Appointee
SPRINGFIELD- State Senator Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) joined fellow Senators Monday calling for a confirmation hearing on Dr. David Gill's nomination to become the Assistant Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Senators Darin LaHood (R-Peoria), Sam McCann (R-Carlinville), Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon), and Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) called on the Senate Executive Appointments Committee to hear testimony from Dr. Gill about the circumstances of his appointment and his qualifications for the position.
Gill, of Bloomington, is a four-time Congressional candidate who had openly stated he was considering another run for office. But the appointment came just days before a preferred candidate announced her intentions to run for the seat. The IDPH position pays more than $127,000 per year.
Under the state constitution, Gill's appointment must be reviewed and voted on by the Senate. However, the committee charged with responsibility for reviewing the Governor's appointments held its last hearing Monday and did not include Gill on the list of appointees to be reviewed. By failing to place Gill on the list for the final meeting of the Senate's Executive Appointments Committee, the Governor and Senate Democrats were able to shield Gill from review before the legislature adjourns at the end of May. Barickman joined his fellow Senators in calling for the Governor and majority Democrats to allow a hearing on Gill's appointment.
"Dr. Gill is my constituent, and he has asked me to sponsor his appointment," said Senator Barickman. "But, as long as he, the Governor, and the Senate Democratic leadership refuse to put him forward for a public hearing, he won't have my support."
Barickman says the state constitution gives the Senate the duty to advise and consent on the Governor's appointments to major positions.
"We're not asking for a special hearing on Dr. Gill's appointment," he said. "We simply believe that transparency and openness belong in state government. Dr. Gill should be vetted by the Senate and voted on by the Senate. It is in the best interest of taxpayers if we do."
