That’s what makes it so great. Next to actually calling someone on the phone—but I mean, who does that?—texting is the easiest way to communicate with folks. Because practically anyone carrying a phone in their pocket can send and receive SMS messages—so…

But, this is especially true when the player is showing serious growth for what seems like the first time in his career. It looked like Travis finally got it. He was rebounding, he was playing defense, and he was picking his spots smartly. Now he’s injured. What does this mean? I’m not exactly sure yet. The most obvious guess is that the Blazers are worse. Where before they had three quality small forwards to start the season, they…

    All hail Greg Oden beast mode. If you send an undersized center at Oden, he will eat your lunch. Then he’ll eat your dinner. Then he’ll follow you to Taco Bell for fourthmeal. That’s what happens. Last night, the Timberwolves thought they would poke the hornets nest throughout the first quarter, and then they got stung. Badly. It was kind of depressing, watching their body language. They were so certain that Sunday wouldn’t happen again, and after Gomes’ buzzer beater to end the quarter, they were so excited. Then the Blazers come back in and simply destroy them.

They’re not supposed to be doing that, and it’s not natural, but you gotta give it up, it’s funny as hell. That’s the Grizzlies keeping pace with the Blazers.

    Photo by geraldbrazell In the spirit of Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall is the time of the Lung, which means that our lungs and skin are more likely to have problems at this time of the year, such as eczema, psoriasis, and cough, colds and flu. Each season has a feeling associated with it, and the Lung organ is Grief. But instead of mourning the loss of summer and light with the arrival of fall, check in with the smells of this unique and beautiful season change. Chinese medicine encourages living with the seasons, eating the foods that are in abundance in certain months, and allowing your…

If you are fortunate enough to live in Portland, Oregon (my beloved city), then get out there and take a look at the massive acupuncture needle in our beautiful, if not a slightly damp city!

  • Hillsdale Terrace: debating the "inescapable stigma" of public housing [updated]

    Brian Libby
    16 Nov 2009 | 12:01 pm
    In the opinion section of today's Oregonian, architect Michael Willis takes a heartfelt stand against the ongoing stigma of public housing.The Willis essay is actually a response to a previous op-ed piece written by Ray Hallberg, who criticized the Housing Authority of Portland for applying for $40 million in federal money to tear down the 39-year-old, 60-unit Hillsdale Terrace in Southwest Portland (pictured above and below) and build 100 units of new public housing."Families in public housing projects blend poorly or not at all with the larger community," Hallberg wrote.

    Imagine if there was a way to put the Portland area's countless unemployed architects and construction workers back to work. And while you're imagining, suppose this plan stemmed from an already-existing city program that has simply been shelved for the last four years. And finally, imagine that this endeavor would not cost the city money but in fact do the opposite: create a long-term revenue stream.This isn't mere architectural pixie dust or pie-in-the-sky optimism. It comes from a conversation I had recently with John Warner, who manages housing development and workforce housing policy for…

  • Envisioning a new Muslim Community Center in North Portland

    Brian Libby
    9 Nov 2009 | 11:51 am
    Recently I got together with the architects from local firm Architecture Office to hear about a proposed design for the Muslim Community Center of Portland. The mosque would be home to the city's oldest Islamic congregation, formed in 1969, and is to be located on North Vancouver Avenue just south of Killingsworth. Although North and Northeast Portland have burgeoned with gentrification and added economic investment over the last decade, and the area is home to many churches, the Muslim Community Center could become something more: not just a place of worship, but a gathering place for…

    That new digital "smart" meter that the electric company's installing on the side of your house may be a little too smart, and a little too loose, for many people's liking. For one thing, it's going to enable the folks at the power company to figure out a lot more about you than they've ever known before: "Instead of measuring energy use at the end of each billing period, smart meters will provide this information at much shorter intervals," the report notes. "Even if electricity use is not recorded minute by minute, or at the appliance level, information may be gleaned from ongoing…

I have all these ideas in my head: pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin curry, pumpkin chili, pumpkin muffins and of course, pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, as for staying warm, I am a big wuss because I think that Portland weather is just too cold for my tastes and it’s not even winter yet. The weather that I’m experiencing now is…

The Red Room tells people “Don’t Fear the 82nd” but honestly the 82nd does seem like a LONG way from home…physically and figuratively. It’s a little bit of a different world…with different kinds of businesses and folks…which got me thinking…what REALLY goes on at a live lingerie show? I doubt I’ll ever find out first hand, but I’m curious. So, if anyone has experience feel free to let me know. Now, back to Metropolitan Farms. I…

    Another generation of parents can soon terrify its children at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour. According to KPTV, Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour is returning to Portland. There’s no timeline yet, other than “as soon as possible.” The first Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour opened in Portland in 1963, followed quickly by numerous franchises (58 by 1970). The heyday of the chain lasted through the 70s and into the early 80s. (You can read the whole story here.) A new Farrell’s recently opened in Mission Viejo, California. Alas, as I’ve written before, I…

For me the highlight presentation on opening day on Wednesday was about the safety affects of different street network types. The study was based on looking at all cities in California with population of 40,000 or greater. The surprising finding was that cities built before 1950 are safer (in terms of both serious injuries and fatalities for all classes of…

    Streetfilms has a great video with William Lind, a conservative transit advocate, about how to talk about transit in terms that conservatives will appreciate. I would also note that the late Paul Weyrich, who co-founded the Heritage Foundation, was a trail transit advocate, evening making that point while serving on an infrastructure panel for the Bush administration. I note some scenes in this video from Portland, and local videographer Dan Kaufman appears in the credits.

    Pardon me while I vent for a moment. The Internet is, without question, the greatest assemblage of information in the history of mankind. Even more impressive than the sheer volume of data accessible via the Internet is the utter simplicity and ease of use of its interface. Having grown up in an era when you were limited by the contents of your local library, and further limited by your ability to shuffle through a catalog of 3 x 5 cards and your mastery of the Dewey Decimal system, it’s nothing less than a miracle.

But that means that my little weight-tracking charts are constrained to a particular size, and specifically that means that the chart corresponding to the first sheet has a particularly serendipitous endpoint: As you might expect, I rebounded a bit subsequent to that final plummet, but not all the way back up, which is kind of nice.

    You might be familiar with the comedy group “Broken Lizard”. If you’re not, then you might still be familiar with some of their movies: Supertroopers? Beerfest? After starting out as a humble sketch comedy group back at Colgate University, the five lizards have developed a knack for creating cult comedies. Their movies feature a type of humor that is characterized by Wikipedia as “physical comedy, gross-out humor.” Okay, it’s NOT high art. Some might say it’s lowbrow, or drunk frat-boy humor. I prefer to think of it as a guilty pleasure. In any event,…

I know I have lectured her countless times that she “is thirteen now, and we have higher expectations” of her. Well, that lecture is now obsolete. Have I mentioned that she’s almost as tall as I am now? And taller than her mother? Oy. When I have not been pondering my daughter’s rapid ascent to maturity (and my own concomitant slide into senility), I’ve been worrying about NaNoWriMo.
