I made a hole-in-one! And a playoff round where at least I was beaten by the champ. + THREE GOLD COINS

YT just blew my mind with that "in-between generation" analysis. So is every generation an in-between of some sort and that's the key to understanding what sets them apart?

Thank you Ed! Also type Neymar into your favorite search box. Derrick Rose: Very quick obviously but if you are looking for high point of human/athletic beauty I would go gymnastics or parkour not bball. (He sure can jump high tho!) Barry Sanders…

Soccer never made me want to only watch the last five minutes of each game because that is the only part that matters. To be fair, if not for being a long time Timbers fan that last second goal would have probably broken my soccer spirit too. Lucki…

E-coli known to be in Portland water supply on 5/20, city delays issuing warning until after election. Day after election city officials announce a new scheme to fund road maintenance via fees collected on PWS bill. In politics, like comedy, timing …

Try to come at it from the angle of "I've noticed there are opportunities for improvement, here's where I think I can help." Pick the lowest hanging fruit and nail it, then when you come back again for round two (ie: the "big" stuff) you will have b…

Voted. ('cept for the green sheet)

Meh. Puffing up and seeming important is pretty much the job description of a politician. I watched the long version too and still feel like an editorial board should stay professional and document the encounter in their paper if they feel it's rel…

I dunno about the WW ed board video being amusing, I'm pretty progressive and it felt kinda dirty to have so much feels for a right winger. I lost some respect for WW. After he responds to a direct question "Global warming, real or myth?" with "myt…

If Portland is chosen they want to begin service in 2015. That probably means late-2015 and only 1-2 neighborhoods to start, but this could happen sooner rather than later.

I initially felt the same way, but these two points got stuck in my craw; He refused to explain anything. Basically he wanted people to accept that business-is-business and personal-is-personal with no explanation. Good article on this: http://www.…

Which building? At noon?

arijkem my pooch was like that too for a while Unsolicited advice (the best kind!): don't shy from those areas or you'll never be able to go on a stress-free urban walk with him. Obviously be safe so maybe don't attack the busiest streets for a whi…

Even though a police report may not be warranted, you can still file a DMV accident report. The sooner the better. It's required within 72 hours if more than $1500 damage, but better late than never. http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/Pages/driverid/acc…

I've found ZoomCare is the cheapest and fastest path to labs/drugs when you are 90% sure of what you need. Not sure why they would be considered expensive unless you are comparing them to an in-network option and they aren't in your PPO/HMO. Yes an…

As a seller you are required to let the DMV know within 10 days of sale, normally there is a section of the title (on the back) you fill out and tear off and send in. Did you do this? DMV also provides a form for this, but I think it's only require…

I was waiting for an update too, but too scared to ask in case Snoopy was not doing so good. > even if it IS a lifelong disorder it STILL could've been caused by ComboGuard poisoning That was my thought too, since the other possibility makes th…

Bank failures are a different animal than investment house failures. As The Krug states in that very article; "What has to be protected in a crisis are bank deposits and things like bank deposits — basically, bank-created money. ... On the…

> The macro economy is fucking confusing for me. Occam's Razor applies here. If people aren't making enough money for basic needs, then pay them enough for their basic needs and shit will sort itself out. The businesses that fail due to living-w…

When I moved here my friends and I called it the Target toaster. Didn't even know it was a Graves joint until a few years ago. One of the worst designs from a street level perspective on a large building I've ever seen-- it looks like an alien bath…

In order for a business that uses labor to be a sustainable capital enterprise it must provide enough income to keep the employee from needing to turn to taxpayer-funded assistance. Or else it's not a business, it's a charity. A perverse charity for…

I think "rowdy" Mikey landed a "playful" kick to my chest last time. Maybe he was aiming for my "spirit"? I think we all know who to gang up on this time. Stay behind him, and slap his forearm or remote directly with a quick lunge. Remember: there'…

And if it helps, his profits are apparently going toward the purchase of a $10k cello for his 12-year-old son who appears to be pretty good; http://www.newsminer.com/features/latitude_65/concerto-concert-winners-are-stars-of-fairbanks-symphony-perfo…

"It's probably one of the better burgers in Clark County," said Kadow. Clark County must have some really shitty burgers then. Love the vibe but the food is terrible.
