If we live anywhere, where should it be?

I have to start this post by saying it will probably be a very very long time before Drew and I can actually live somewhere…as opposed to everywhere.

But this SouthWest Companion Pass has gotten me window shopping for homes.  You know, in the same way a 16 year old window shops for a sweet car.  Which is to say…it’s not happening.  Don’t get all excited about this, it’s not happening.  We are still nomads and will be for awhile as far as I can tell.

But we have thought for awhile that it would be cool to do a more extended stay somewhere.  In our world, that means like…a month or two.  And combining Airbnb with our Southwest Companion Pass could totally make a month stay in the states doable.  Or, housesitting resources like www.trustedhousesitters.com could come into play.

All hypothetical for now, but we do have this Companion Pass until the end of 2015 and we’d like to do some fun stays with it.

So folks…I want to hear your suggestions.  Where should we “live” (for a month), if anywhere?

Here’s our criteria…

1.) We like being downtown, where things are happening.

We don’t own a car and don’t plan on ever owning a car, so we like to be within a bus ride or even a walk from the downtown happenings of a place.  Of course…this also highlights the fact that we like there to be a downtown.

We especially love places with downtown walking malls like Charlottesville, VA…

Or Burlington, VT…

Or Boulder, CO…

2.) We like there to be some kind of element of natural beauty, or a place nearby where we can be in nature.

Cities in or near the mountains or forests are perfect.  We love hiking, camping, etc.  And if a place isn’t beautiful, than the concrete jungle gets to us.

For instance Jackson Hole, Wyoming…

Chattanooga, Tennessee…

Or Asheville, NC…

3.) We like progressive, cultural cities with a lot of diversity.

We’ve always found so much value in having a variety of cultural influences around us.  I grew up in Amish Country Ohio, which is an absolutely wonderful place… but most of the people there have all come from an Amish/Mennonite background.  As a result, there’s one major mentality there as well as one major influencing culture.

Some cities that come to mind are…

Obviously New York City…

or San Francisco…

Or Austin, Texas…

4.) We like medium sized cities.  Not so big that we feel totally anonymous but not too small for an airport or fun things happening.

This is where Charlottesville really worked for us.  Its population is just under 50,000 and at the time, that was perfect.  It was big enough for some sort of bus system (though not very extensive) but small enough that you could run into friends out in town and we got to know many of the local talented musicians.

During our last few visits, it felt smaller than I remembered and I wondered if my ideal city size is going up a bit.  Maybe cities with populations from 50,000-150,000 would be perfect?

Like Ann Arbor, Michigan (population around 116,000)…

Screen Shot 2014-10-02 at 2.32.00 PM

Or Athens, GA (population around 119,000)…

Screen Shot 2014-10-02 at 2.33.53 PM

Or Gainesville, Florida (population around 124,000)…

Screen Shot 2014-10-02 at 2.37.59 PM

5.) And the last criteria…ultimate frisbee…

Ultimate frisbee is Drew’s favorite sport and was once the only thing he spent time doing.  It’s not the most common sport, and you can’t just assume every town has an ultimate frisbee team.

This little item on the rubric would be much more relevant if we were actually looking for a place to live.  But even for a month-long visit it would be really great for Drew to be able to play ultimate.

So…which of these cities should we actually spend time in?  What are the cities that I don’t know about yet?  I would have never known about Charlottesville if friends hadn’t moved there.  So there are bound to be awesome little cities I haven’t heard of yet.  Tell me about them!

    • 😀 We had amazing hosts, that’s for sure! (Drew’s friend from HS) Ya we really did like it a lot.

  1. Vancouver or another northwest city seem like obvious candidates, no?

  2. How about Richmond? Carytown or the Fan I think would fit you guys. There is public transportation. You are equal distance from the mountains and the beach. But maybe not as progressive as you would like overall but I am sure you could find like minded people. Lived there for 10 years.
    I grew up in Ch’ville and I have not eaten at the Nook in years.

    • One of my favorite spots in Cville is actually the Tea Bazaar right across the street from the Nook. Next time you’re in town, try it!
      I have only visited Richmond once, but Drew lived there for awhile.

  3. i love it here in SF, although I hear your point about it being too big. It’s also too expensive and it smells, but it’s fun for now. I loved Asheville during my time. You might like West Hartford, CT for the downtown aspect, but go during the summer. St. Paul, MN (my hometown) is one of the best cities in the world and the only thing keeping it back is the dreadful winters. Tucson, AZ is a great town that is relatively inexpensive. Savannah is supposed to be nice, and charleston too. Just a few ideas.

    • Thanks for all these ideas, Jeff!
      I am dying to go to Asheville. I have friends living there and I think I would love it. Hadn’t thought of West Hartford or St. Paul, but that’s why I wrote this post! To learn of the places I hadn’t known of yet! My sister lived in Savannah and it is indeed really gorgeous.
      Thanks for the ideas!

  4. You could try many of these suggestions if you are only planning stays of a month or so. You could use these stays as hiatuses to your usually hectic travel schedules. It would be like coming home, if only for a little while. You could check off all your possibilites within a two year time period. Well, it’s all fun to think about any way.

  5. You already mentioned it, but Austin TX is great. We do have culture, arts, entertainment of all sorts, festivals include Austin City Limits, SXSW, Funx3 Fest, too many to list. Plus all that goes along with having a Formula One track.

    The Hill Country is great for hikes and camping. Inks lake is a local favorite for camping. You can also camp in the city at a Emma Long Metropolitan Park (3 sites, feels like you are in the middle of nowhere). And as I’m pretty sure you know, Austin does have Ultimate Frisbee. They are doubling the gates at the airport right now, it is getting easier to fly from AUS.

    Pretty much any sleepy town between San Francisco and San Deigo would be great. We love Laguna Beach. That could be an awesome place to house sit. You have tons of airports, and enough day trip options to fill a few months at least. People always say California is expensive but we lived well on next to nothing there. where you sleep is the most expensive part. You learn fast that there are great cheap food options. Transportation can suck though, you kind of need a car.

    • Drew has definitely suggested Austin before because it’s involved in the entrepreneur movement and that’s something that interests him a lot. I didn’t realize they had ultimate frisbee there! Austin’s looking better and better!

  6. Don’t know about ultimate Frisbee, but Asheville, NC seems to meet a lot of your criteria. Also, Savannah has the beach close by as well as all of the parks with those beautiful trees.

    • Definitely want to check Asheville out while we have this S.W.Pass. Savannah is great too. My sister lived there for awhile.

  7. Summer in Boulder and then escape from the cold and winter down here in Gainesville :-). Best of both worlds.

    • Gainesville is really high on my list because 1.) I hear it’s cool 2.) a musician I really like is from there (Radical Face) and 3.) my parents vacation in FLA a lot so it would probably give me lots of family time to be en route to their favorite vacation spot.

      Also we’ve talked about how if we did Boulder, it would have to be in the summer!

  8. I’m totally biased from having grown up there but still vote Burlington.

    • We went through there for our honeymoon and I loved it. I would move there in a heartbeat. I’ll have to do the ultimate-frisbee research.

  9. I suggest Washington, DC.
    1. DC has lots of “downtown” neighborhoods, each with a different vibe. The Metro and buses can connect you to dozens of neighborhoods, including those in Maryland (Bethesda or Silver Spring downtown) and Virginia (Old Town Alexandria or Clarendon neighborhood). Plus many of these neighborhoods have Capital Bikeshare stations. And when you want a day or weekend trip to New York City, you can even take direct buses to NYC for about $25 each way.
    2. DC is surrounded by natural beauty — Rock Creek Park, National Arboretum, Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens — to name just 3 that are Metro and/or bus accessible. These places make you forget you’re in DC.
    3. DC definitely has a lot of cultural diversity, even more so if you venture into the Maryland and Virginia neighborhoods (accessible by Metro).
    4. DC feels like a medium-sized city, perhaps because the buildings aren’t crazy high, and it has lots of small, walkable neighborhoods — Dupont Circle (great farmers market), Adams Morgan (night life), Cleveland Park, Woodley Park, Capitol Hill (wonderful Eastern Market), Georgetown (shopping). And as you know, DC is surrounded by 3 airports. Easily accessible by Metro are Reagan National and now Dulles International.
    5. Ultimate Frisbee — The National Mall is made for that.
    And if you and your husband are as interested in FREE things to do as you are in free travel, like world-class museums, free performances at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage every night, then you’ll really like to live in DC.

    • You are making a very good case for DC! It’s not a far drive from Charlottesville so we’ve definitely spent some time there. Will have to spend some time scouting out specifically as a potential long-term spot though! Thanks for all the thoughts and info!

  10. santa fe ,new mexico is a cool spot about 70,000
    seattle is a hip city
    Portland another choice that wasn’t talked about
    san diego my favorite other then Miami/fort Lauderdale as im a beachbum
    love Austin but no beach

  11. Come to Boston!

    – First of all, with all of the colleges and such there are a ton of ultimate frisbee groups/tournaments.
    – Boston is a very walkable city and we have an easy to navigate public transportation system. You can do Zip cars and be a short drive away to the Berkshires or any of the beautiful sites in New England. Like right now the foliage and apple picking season is gorgeous! Ziplining, hiking Mt. Washington, camping, you name it!
    – We are close to NYC and Chicago which help make short connections to places and you can do Avios to Europe very easily.
    – And with all of the people in and out of Boston for school, research, what have you it is a great melting pot of people.
    – I guess it might be considered too big compared to your smaller cities listed, but Boston has a great “small town heart” feel to it so it doesn’t feel huge and intimidating like NYC, Chicago, or L.A.

    • I have really enjoyed Boston every time that I’ve visited. Very cool place, for sure.

  12. I’m surprised Madison WI hasn’t been mentioned! It has an ultimate league with 3500 players in the summer league alone, is one of the most pedestrian friendly cities in the us with pedestrian only State sheet and is on two beautiful lakes. A typical morning commute is biking by lake Monona and a typical afternoon is ultimate Frisbee. While winter scares some people off, it stays sunny yearlong. You absolutely should visit.

  13. Ft. Collins, CO, wife and I spend a summer there. Nice college town with a lot of outdoor recreation. Great vibe. I have no idea about Ultimate Frisbee. Also, San Luis Obispo, CA is a great place. We lived there for 5 years. Made the list for happiest city is America. Close to the beach and mountains. Lots of hiking and water sports. Lots of farmers markets and things to do every weekend. College town so you may be able to find frisbeers(?). Weather is perfect year-round.

  14. Greenville, SC. 1.5 hours away from Charlotte, 2 hours from Atlanta, 45-60 minutes from Asheville, NC.

    • That’s actually been on our mental list for awhile too. Drew had a friend who lived there so that’s how it got on our radar.
      Thanks for reminding me of it though!

  15. I moved to Tacoma, WA, 3.5 years ago and love it (went to school in c’ville, and love it, too). 200k or so people, ridiculously gorgeous scenery (Puget Sound, Olympic Mts., Mt. Rainier), never too hot or too cold, not as much rain as you’d think (though about 8 months of gloomy clouds), decent transit, and 35 minutes to Seattle airport (southwest and international flights). 3 colleges. No idea about ultimate.

    • Wow that sounds perfect. Drew said that Seattle is where ultimate was “born” so Tacoma’s pretty close. Don’t know if I could sell Drew on the 8 months of gloomy clouds though. Sounds great to me though

      • you can avoid the gloom by coming July-September, when it’s 75 and sunny, no humidity, almost every day!

  16. Naperville, IL! I do recommend some travel in the Winter to beak up the chill. 😉
    There is a huge youth/high school ultimate club http://www.nvultimate.org, and they even started a pro/semi pro? league. Naperville has been on the best places to live list, has fantastic schools, easy access to Chicago, and somewhat reasonable housing costs (compared to CA that is)….

  17. I recommend Philadelphia.

    1) It has a decent downtown but is also very neighborhood-y in a way that means you don’t have to pay the expenses of downtown to have a lot to walk around and do almost wherever you are.
    2) Not only does Philly have numerous parks of its own (I foraged for wild edibles in them quite a bit) but it is surrounded by wooded areas and farmland. Also as an added bonus, they have a thriving and well-supported urban farming movement, esp in West Philly.
    3) Philly is very progressive, many members of the LGBTQ community move there for the progressive rights legislation and because it is home to a number of major liberal arts colleges and a prominent women’s art college it has a pretty diverse, young citizenry constantly arriving to add to the already diverse local radical communities.
    4) Philly is big on people but smaller than you might think. And the neighborhood-centric way of living means that many of the times you leave your house will feel like an episode of cheers. In my old neighborhood, I couldn’t walk to the corner without being greeted by at least two people I knew and I could go out alone at night and be sure to see folks I knew at whatever venue or coffee house I ended up at. It incredibly walkable and the public transit is efficient enough to get just about anywhere you might want to be. Most folks I knew didn’t drive.
    5) http://www.pada.org/

    And as an aside, it hyper accessible to a lot of the major cities on the east coast by bus & train (2-hours from DC & NYC make those both possible day trips for instance) while being a shit-ton cheaper to live in than any nearby cities. I know a number of folks who can live really comfortably off of their art or a retail job there, making it ideal for a couple of folks who live on a budget.

    • You definitely describe it and sell it well! Nicely done! Not too far from my relatives either so that’s a plus too!

  18. From your description, Seattle is clearly the city you should consider. Have you ever been here? Also, the whole “8 months of gloomy clouds” is an exaggeration. Here’s how the weather *really* works in Seattle. You have 2 months that pretty much suck, and that’s November and December. These months are why grunge music exists lol. The good news is that it’s during the holidays so you have positive things to focus on. Every person has their own coping strategy for this time. You can also just travel to warm places during this time.

    Next, you have Jan, Feb, and Mar. It’s true we get rain during this time, but we also get quite a bit of sun in the winter. It’s just really cold and the days are short. If you like skiing though, you’re in heaven. Tons of slopes within 30 minutes to a couple hours drive from downtown, and even Whistler is only a few hours north for world class skiing.

    After this, you get spring, for April and May. These months have more rain than springs on the east cost, but you have to remember that there’s no humidity here. So there are clouds on many days, but we have sun on those days as well. We call them “sun breaks”…and your ability to use these times effectively defines your ability to survive well in Seattle. It might rain part of the day while you’re working, but then the sky opens up in the afternoon and it’s beautiful. It will do this every day for weeks during the spring, and pessimists say it’s “gray and cloudy” but in reality the evening ended with an epic and beautiful sunset and beautiful skies perfect for going outside.

    And then there’s the Seattle summer. That’s just about the best thing there is. And it goes from late June to October, and sometimes if you’re lucky all the way until Halloween. The days are warm, hardly any rain, no humidity, kinda like Hawaii without the beach. Tons of hiking, the ocean, boating, road tripping, etc. And yes, frisbee golf.

    Basically, if you travel to sunny places during the late fall and winter, and you learn how to cope during the rainier season, you’ll do well in Seattle. But it’s definitely not as cloudy as people say. And Hawaii is a 5:45 hour flight away on Alaska Air any time you want!

    • You’re right that really doesn’t sound all that bad, especially considering that if we ever do “live somewhere” we’re still going to constantly travel from that place, so we could just choose to do the bulk of our longer trips during the less desireable weather.

      Drew has been there but I have not even been to the State of Washington yet. It’s one of only two states I’ve not yet seen (Hawaii being the other.)

      Apparently Ultimate Frisbee actually started there I think, right?

      Anyway thank you very much for breaking down the weather for me and debunking the “it always rains” stereotype!

      We actually had a chance to do some extended house-sitting there but it looks like our plans got shifted around a bit and we won’t be able to do it. I was hoping to experience life in Seattle though.

      • No problem. Google Image search “Kerry Park” to get a sense of some of the beauty, if you’re interested as well. I know I sound like a salesman, but you definitely seem like the Northwest would work for you.

  19. I love how much people are pushing their cities! I’m from Cleveland (near AmishTown™)… but if you’re young Columbus Ohio is an emerging city. They have plenty of Artsy/Foodie places, a nice amount of jobs, a good number of Frisbee Courses (thanks to the college crowd) and the weather isnt too bad – you still get to enjoy seasons. Plus they are improving the city constantly.

    GO BUCKS! =)

    • I actually have lots of friends in C-bus so that’s always been hovering on my radar. Great people live there! 😀

Hillary Clinton to Receive Gun Control Award

Inaugural Governor Mario M. Cuomo Leadership Award to be presented to her by Brady Campaign

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton is set to be honored with an award from one of the nation's leading gun control advocacy organizations next Thursday.

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence will present Hillary Clinton the inaugural Governor Mario M. Cuomo Leadership Award at the Bear Awards. The awards, named after Jim "Bear" Brady, will take place at Cipriani on Broadway in New York City on Nov. 19. Individual tickets to the event are priced at $1,000 a piece.

"On November 19th supporters from around the country will descend upon New York at our annual Brady Bear Awards to honor gun violence prevention champions," an email announcing the event said. "The event includes special presentations, honorees and performances you won’t want to miss, including a presentation of the Inaugural Governor Mario M. Cuomo Leadership Award to the Honorable Hillary Clinton."

Clinton has promised to pursue a number of new gun control policies if elected president. She has promised to institute new gun control through executive order, said the Supreme Court is "wrong" on the Second Amendment, and told supporters Australian-style gun regulation should be considered in the United States since beginning her current campaign. His campaign has since walked back some of those comments.

The Brady Center, which is named in honor of President Reagan's press secretary, who was shot during an assassination attempt, is among the largest gun control advocacy organizations in the United States. Its awards ceremony is designed to recognize leaders in the gun control movement as well as raise money for the organization. Promotional material for the event said it seeks to "honor the efforts of individuals who have distinguished themselves in their dedication to Sarah and Jim’s vision of a nation without gun violence and who embody their remarkable spirit, strength and perseverance, to the extent that anyone else can."

The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Leadership Award is named for the New York governor, who signed a new gun control measure into law after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. The law, called the SAFE Act, has come under criticism from some law enforcement organizations and some provisions are being flouted by New York gun owners. Still, gun control advocates praise the law for being among the strictest in the country.

Neither the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence nor the Clinton campaign responded to a request for comment.

i think i have to limit my social activity on fedi. im keep being harmful by boosting edgy personas. im too forgiving ig. i just know that people who are harmful are still nice sometimes, but i end up boosting their harmfulness as part of publicly interacting with them. i gotta move into talking to people privately, because my boosting content without thorough investigations ends up being harmful.

and birdsite, too. i hate how i let myself continue to repost certain persons' stuff there even after learning that they are not very good people.

@mkf maybe just unfollowing these people would be sufficient?

@kuba_orlik nope, and one of the problems is i don't want to do that

@kuba_orlik these are subtoots and i don't feel like getting any more detailed

Characterising Plasma Ions in the MAST-U Divertor (plasma strand project)

Supervisors: Professor James Bradley (University of Liverpool) and Dr James Harrison (CCFE)

The energy and species composition of plasma ions near material surfaces in tokamak divertors strongly governs the plasma-material interactions, e.g. sputtering from divertor surfaces and recycling behaviour. This project is concerned with determining the ion energy spectrum and species composition of the plasma in the new closed MAST-U using a Retarding Field Energy Analyser (RFEA), originally used on MAST, initially to explore the role of the new baffling structures on the ions reaching divertor surfaces. In parallel, a Plasma Ion Mass Spectrometer would be developed for use on MAST-U, to measure the mass spectrum of the plasma. These measurements are very useful in themselves to ascertain the impurity content of the plasma in the divertor in attached and detached conditions, but also informs the interpretation of data from RFEAs, which are sensitive to both bulk ions and impurities.

The project will be based mostly at CCFE (Culham), but with the opportunity to carry out some experimental and design studies at the University of Liverpool through a number of short term visits. The project will also offer the chance for overseas travel for conferences and meetings, particularly to other international fusion experiments involved in ion energy measurements and ion mass (impurity) spectrometry.

The project involves diagnostic hardware design and implementation as well as data interpretation and any associated programming.

This project is offered by University of Liverpool. For further information please contact: Professor James Bradley (

Scope: One of the main problems facing the industry is the need to reduce the generation of wastes. In the case of liquid wastes are
characterized by large volumes, high content of dissolved compounds and the low value associated of these components. In general the
management routes are based on the reduction of concentration of the dissolved components to the regulated levels and then their
discharge to water bodies. The reduction of the pollution load has been mainly focused on the reduction of the organic fraction and minor
effort has been allocated typically in the inorganic fraction, due typically to their lower toxicity and minor impact on the receiving water
The high ratio of flow-rates or volumes of the receiving water bodies in relation to the discharges of brines containing inorganic ions (e.g.
Cl, SO4, NO3, H2PO4, Na, K, Mg, Ca, NH4) as well other organic compounds is not acceptable management option. The increasing
legislation pressure to reduce liquid discharges has promoted the introduction of advanced treatments. These treatments, typically
membrane technologies, reduce the discharge volume and increase ratio of water recovery to be used internally in the industry. However,
more concentrated brines are generated and then without any further option of being discharged. As, the conversion of these effluents to
solids to be disposed in landfills by using typically evaporation processes is not a sustainable solution and evaporation of brines containing
mixtures of salts is providing a mixture of solids with limited value.
Under this scenario, and supported policies by the EU, this project is devoted to integrate separation processes to convert the complex
and non-value industrial brines onto value by-products. With this objective, it will be solved the problem of waste management; by avoiding
the discharge of toxic chemicals onto the medium, reduce the need of raw materials or chemicals for the processing steps, promoting in
this way the concept of circular economy.
General Objectives: The global objective of the project is to develop integrated processes of separation, concentration, purification to
valorize inorganic components of industrial or domestic liquid wastes to probe de concept of waste to products.
To achieve this global objective the following specific objectives have been defined:
- To determine experimentally the ion separation properties of inorganic ions mixtures with NF and IX membranes and with hybrid ion
exchangers (membranes ion permeances, ions selectivity factors of multi, mono and non charged).
- To integrate the experimental data on ions transport and rejection with theoretical models to predict the behaviour of multi-to monocharge
ions separation with NF and IX membranes (ED and EDBP).
- To evaluate the integration of selective ion exchange mono and bipolar membranes to concentrate and purify brines in a single step and
to valorize as strong acid and bases.
- To integrate of hydrophobic hollow fiber membranes for concentration of and purification of rich ammonium salts or concentration and
crystallization of rich brines generated with NF membranes.
- To evaluate inorganic natural and synthetic adsorbents (e.g. zeolites, flying ashes) or selective hybrid adsorbents prepared by
modification with hydrated metal oxides for selective extraction of nutrients (P, N, K,Ca,Mg) to produce slow-release fertilizers for
agronomical applications.

Vegas club offers holographic hotties

Offering these girls a few drinks won’t help you get back to your room any less alone. So, when you’re scouring the Las Vegas Strip in the hopes of a blissful night, use Lolita’s Cantina and Tequila as a place to plan your next move – not make it. There’s a good reason for this – the girls aren’t real. And, that can make laying down some game a little harder.

Lolita’s just opened holographic dancing girls act this week. They have all the right moves … because that’s what they’re programmed to do. The technology behind nightclub developer Eric DeBiasi’s ladies must be good. In the past it was used by Damon Albarn’s virtual band (the Gorillaz) and Live Earth Tokyo to render former Vice President Al Gore on stage.

Now, it’s full potential is being realized.

While most dancers are given no room for error – and failing in that area can be evident and embarrassing – these vixens put on a flawless show, due in large part to the fact that the DJ is in complete control of every muscle movement.

Lolita’s may be home to the perfect show, but it isn’t the only game in town. 3opolis, which launched last year at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, has the same hot holographs teasing the crowd.

It’s a great concept, with only one flaw: though they won’t say “no,” these dancers will never head back to your suite with you.

Could you live in Portland?

There will be a moment during your visit to Portland, Oregon when you’ll have an epiphany. Maybe it won’t happen during your blissful stroll through one the city’s giant public parks, your nostrils fresh with the scent of pine trees and clean air. And it might not hit you during your $3 lunch at one of Portland’s plentiful food carts, your taste buds humming to a savory, cheesy mac n’ cheese made with locally produced Tillamook Cheddar. It might not even cross your mind as you get lost in aisles of Powell’s, a temple of a bookstore that fills an entire city block. But at some point you’ll be overwhelmed by how much you’re enjoying yourself and start to wonder: could I live in Portland? Why am I not here already?

Portland is a place that seems as if it was created with travelers in mind. Everything about it, from the city’s accessible size and convenient public transportation, to its killer food and beer culture, top-notch shopping and easy access to nature, is made to appeal to the visitor in ways that feel welcoming, inspiring and surprising. In a word: wonderful. Sure, as a visitor it’s easy enough to glance over the city’s problems: the unemployment rate is currently hovering above 10%, and for much of the year the city is shrouded in a gloomy, misty haze of rain. But these facts ultimately pale in comparison to the reasons why Portland is such a forward-thinking, livable destination.

Could you live in Portland? Or maybe you’re just curious about making a visit? Keep reading below for our Portland tips.Getting in, getting around
Portland visitors will arrive at Portland International Airport (PDX), located about 45 minutes from the downtown city proper. Don’t bother with a taxi – for just over $2, you can jump on the clean, speedy Light Rail to whisk you towards downtown. Public transport is a big win here: a one-day pass covering rides on all city light rail, bus and street car lines is just $4.75. Travelers who are renting/driving a car will find there’s ample street parking, though the city does have occasional traffic gridlock (no place is without a few flaws, right?).

Portland is bisected by the Willamette River, and most addresses and neighborhoods identified by their relationship to this body of water. On the West side of the River you’ll find Portland’s main commercial center. Just North of this (in the Northwest) is the Pearl District, a humming district of art galleries, shopping and killer cuisine. In the NW, the area along 23rd Avenue is also popular for shopping.

The East side of Portland is decidedly more low-key, but definitely worth a visit. In the Northeast you’ll find plenty to check out on Mississippi Avenue. The happening Southeast is anchored by plenty of great dining and shopping along Hawthorne Boulevard.

What to do
With so much to see, eat, buy and explore in Portland, a better question for first-time visitors might be, what shouldn’t you do?

  • Have a brew – like beer? Welcome to Nirvana. Boasting one of the largest concentrations of microbreweries in the country, you’d be hard-pressed to come to Portland and not enjoy one of the town’s outstanding, locally-crafted beers.Though you can’t go wrong at most bars, spots like Deschutes, Henry’s Tavern and Laurelwood get consistently high marks.
  • Eat out – not only is Portland a great town for beer, it’s also a great town for outrageously fresh, delicious food. One of the greatest features of Portland is the city’s many cheap food carts. Ditch that bland bag lunch and track down tasty fare with the locals, like Schnitzel sandwiches and tip-top Thai food at Nong’s. At night, head to the SE for dinner at Pok Pok, one of Portland’s best restaurants.
  • Parks – Portland’s reputation for livability and beauty has a lot to do with the city’s plentiful parkland. It’s a great way to spend the day, enjoying a blissful trail hike, riding a bike or simply stopping to smell the roses. Check out Forest Park, one of the nation’s largest urban parks. During the summer, stop by Portland’s Rose Garden for thousands of the colorful flowers overlooking the city’s downtown.
  • Shop local – the diversity and quality of Portland’s small-scale retail is unmatched. Visitors will be hard-pressed to track down a chain store and everywhere you look are creative, one-of-a-kind handmade goods. The mother of all bookstores is Powell’s, a modern-day “Great Library” bursting with new and used tomes. Music lovers flock to stores like Mississippi Records in Portland’s Northeast.

Killer food and drink. Blissful nature. Quirky local shopping. What’s not to like about Portland? Perhaps it’s time you came to check out this buzzing Pacific Northwest capital for yourself. But consider yourself warned – spend a weekend in Portland and you’ll come away wanting more.

Classic road trips: The Oregon Coast

Summer might be over, but it’s never out of season to take a road trip down the Oregon Coast. From summer sunshine to winter storms, following the Oregon’s Pacific coastline by way of Highway 101 provides for spectacular views, quirky stops and more fish and chips than you could ever want. Here’s your quick and dirty guide to making the best of it.

Getting started
Before you take off for the coast, spend a few days exploring Portland. Oregon’s largest city is known for its coffee culture, diverse array of restaurants and excellent microbrews; definitely the ideal place to kick off your road trip. Stop by Powells to pick up a map and even a guidebook to the coast; although driving down 101 is pretty straightforward — just go straight — it’s nice to know what towns you’re going through and where state and county parks are located so you can play on the beach.

Classic coastal cities worth a look

Cannon Beach
Portlanders love weekend trips to the coast, and the most popular route to get there is Highway 26, which takes you to the quaint coastal city of Cannon Beach. Here Ecola State Park and Indian Beach are popular with the surfing crowd; expect many Subarus and VW Vanagons that play double duty as surfboard transport and apres surf tailgate parties. For an authentic eating experience, take time to grab a bowl of chowder or a crab melt at the Ecola Seafood Restaurant; it’s a no frills kind of place, perfect for when you’ve got sandy feet leftover from your beach walk.

There’s really not a whole lot to do in Tillamook; it’s a small town surrounded by farms and on a road trip the smell of cows will certainly permeate your vehicle. But it does have one attraction that draws hundreds of tourists everyday: the Tillamook Cheese Factory. Learn and see just how the famous Oregon cheese is made and when your done, stand in line for free samples. The Tillamook Cheese factory also serves Tillamook ice cream — another Oregon favorite — but as a warning, the scoops are big; make sure your eyes aren’t bigger than your stomach.

Newport happens to be my personal favorite city on the Oregon Coast. It’s got a good coastal village feel, especially in the summer when the small beach-side cottages fill up with people intent on spending their vacation in a relaxed and charming atmosphere. For the classic coastal ambiance, head to the Historic Bayfront, featuring Oregon’s largest commercial fishing fleet. Along the main drag lie many a fish and chip shop, kitschy souvenir shops and even a Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Newport is also home to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Oregon’s famous Rogue Brewery (classic beers are the Dead Guy Ale and the Shakespeare Stout).

What to do
The Pacific Coast Highway is known for its amazing views and driving along it is an activity in and of itself. But for the classic Oregon coast road trip, you’re going to want to plan time to stop and do other things. On the northern coast near Astoria, you can cross over the Columbia River and visit Cape Disappointment, the place where the members of the Corps of Discovery — ie the Lewis and Clark expedition — had their first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean.

Towards the central coast, between Florence and Coos Bay, is the Siuslaw National Forest – Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Here you’ll find the impressive dunes, sometimes towering to 500 feet, that have been sculpted by the coastal winds. If you’re not a fan of dune buggies, you can still hike up the dunes for incredible views and photo ops of the largest expanse of coastal dunes in North America.

No road trip will be complete without a trip to the Sea Lion Caves. Part tourist trap, part natural curiosity, the Sea Lion Caves are said to be the world’s largest. Located just north of Florence, a visit to the caves allows for a close-up look at sea lions in their natural habitat. The visit entails an 200-foot elevator descent down into the caves where the sound of sea lions is almost deafening — these sea lions have nothing on the ones at San Francisco’s Pier 39.

In the summer, true road-trippers will have their tent and sleeping bags in the back of the car; sleeping next to the beach is a favorite summer pastime. Keep in mind that parks fill up quickly in the summer; either get to the campsite early or make a reservation. But if you’re exploring the coast during more dreary weather, you’re probably not going to want to bear the elements. If time allows, consider renting a cabin, which will allow you to explore the beaches and towns close by and get a better feel for the local community. Another option is renting a yurt, allowing you to get the feel of camping without the hassle of being in a small tent.

Good towns to stay in — because of accommodation availability and things to do nearby — include Astoria, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Newport, Bandon and Coos Bay. Check out the Travel Oregon website for an extensive search engine of coastal accommodations.

Want to be an astronaut?

Explorers Wanted: NASA to Hire More Artemis Generation Astronauts

NASA is hiring new astronauts to explore the Moon and Mars! If you have what it takes to be an Artemis Generation astronaut, apply online March 2-31.Credits: NASA

As NASA prepares to launch American astronauts this year on American rockets from American soil to the International Space Station – with an eye toward the Moon and Mars – the agency is announcing it will accept applications March 2 to 31 for the next class of Artemis Generation astronauts.

Since the 1960s, NASA has selected 350 people to train as astronaut candidates for its increasingly challenging missions to explore space. With 48 astronauts in the active astronaut corps, more will be needed to crew spacecraft bound for multiple destinations and propel exploration forward as part of Artemis missions and beyond.

“We’re celebrating our 20th year of continuous presence aboard the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit this year, and we’re on the verge of sending the first woman and next man to the Moon by 2024,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “For the handful of highly talented women and men we will hire to join our diverse astronaut corps, it’s an incredible time in human spaceflight to be an astronaut. We’re asking all eligible Americans if they have what it to takes to apply beginning March 2.”

The basic requirements to apply include United States citizenship and a master’s degree in a STEM field, including engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics, from an accredited institution. The requirement for the master’s degree can also be met by:

  • Two years (36 semester hours or 54 quarter hours) of work toward a Ph.D. program in a related science, technology, engineering or math field;
  • A completed doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine degree;
  • Completion (or current enrollment that will result in completion by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program.

Candidates also must have at least two years of related, progressively responsible professional experience, or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Astronaut candidates must pass the NASA long-duration spaceflight physical.

Americans may apply to #BeAnAstronaut at:

As part of the application process, applicants will, for the first time, be required to take an online assessment that will require up to two hours to complete.

After completing training, the new astronauts could launch on American rockets and spacecraft developed for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to live and work aboard the International Space Station, 250 miles above Earth, where they will take part in experiments that benefit life at home and prepare us for more distant exploration.

They may also launch on NASA’s powerful new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, docking the spacecraft at the Gateway in lunar orbit before taking a new human landing system to the Moon’s surface. After returning humans to the Moon in 2024, NASA plans to establish sustainable lunar exploration by 2028. Gaining new experiences on and around the Moon will prepare NASA to send the first humans to Mars in the mid-2030s.

NASA expects to select the new class of astronaut candidates in mid-2021 to begin training as the next class of Artemis Generation astronauts.

Legal Status

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The legal right of Mennonites to the free exercise of their religion as expressed in decrees of rulers, or legislation by the political units in which they lived, is treated in the article Religious Liberty. The following discussion relates solely to the legal rights of the Mennonites as ecclesiastical bodies to hold property and function under the law as legal persons. The discussion as it relates to Mennonites in Europe is based on the article Körperschaftsrechte in the Mennonitisches Lexicon. In that article Christian Hege reported the historical development of the legal status of Mennonite churches in Prussia on the basis of the pamphlet by Gustav Reimer, Sind die Mennoniten-Gemeinden in Preussen und in der freien Stadt Danzig Körperschaften des offentlichen Rechts? (Heubuden, 1920), while J.Yntema reported only briefly on the situation in the Netherlands.

Since the Anabaptists never enjoyed full legal toleration anywhere in Europe there never was any possibility for their congregations to have a juridical legal status or to hold property. The Mennonites did not enjoy full legal toleration and a corresponding legal status in any country in Europe until the turn of the 18th-19th century. This came first in Holland in 1795 as a result of the French Revolution when the state church was disestablished and all religious groups were given equal rights. Since then every Dutch Mennonite congregation can become a legal entity. At first, permission and approval of the congregation's constitution was necessary, but now only the delivery of a declaration to the proper governmental office is necessary. The congregations are autonomous and have full power to hold property, to receive and administer all funds including legacies, and in general to function as juridical persons. The Algemeene Doopsgezinde Societeit and other conferences, though not incorporated, have the rights of a legal person.

In Switzerland and France the development was similar to that in the Netherlands. The French Revolution finally brought a large measure of free dom although full legal status did not come until later in the 19th century.

In Germany the legal status of Mennonite congregations was long confused. In practice the grants and permissions given to Mennonite congregations by rulers or state authorities meant that the congregations could in reality hold property (own meeting houses) and receive legacies, etc., as the fully recognized state churches did. However, full legal recognition did not come until quite late, for instance, in Prussia in 1874 when a special law was passed called "The Law of June 12, 1874, Pertaining to the Conditions of the Mennonites." Even here incorporation was not a right, but could be granted by joint agreement of the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Religious Affairs and certain conditions had to be met. In the other German states the granting of full legal status, including the right of incorporation, proceeded in a variable fashion, some earlier and some later than in Prussia. The right to become a registered association (Eingetragener Verein), which carried much the same privileges as the incorporated body (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) enjoyed, including ownership of property, came earlier and more easily than the right of incorporation. A basic change was brought about by the Constitution of the Republic of 1919, which placed all religious bodies on the same legal footing. Basically in Germany in the 1950s only an associated group of congregations could become an incorporated body, while individual congregations remained registered associations. The conference known as the Vereinigung der Deutschen Mennoniten gemeinden (formerly Vereinigung der Mennonitengemeinden im Deutschen Reich) was the first German Mennonite incorporated body (8 November 1922 in Hamburg). The Bavarian Mennonite congregations were incorporated as a Vereinigung 31 August 1926, and each separate congregation received the right to incorporate on 16 March 1928. All did this except Ingolstadt. The South German Conference called the Badisch-Württ.-Bayerischer Gemeindeverband has remained a registered association.

In the United States and Canada the legal status of churches is regulated by the laws of the several states and provinces, not by national federal legislation. The common practice until the late 20th centuries was for such congregations not to become incorporated. Congregational property and money was usually held by trustees who could usually act as a legal person. Increasing litigation has led many North American to incorporate in more recent years. Church boards (mission, education, publication, etc.) and institutions (schools, homes for the aged, hospitals, etc.) are usually incorporated with boards of trustees. The national conferences of the various Mennonite groups are sometimes incorporated, especially the larger bodies that hold substantial property, e.g. Mennonite Church USA, Mennonite Church Canada and the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches. The Mennonite Central Committee was not incorporated until 1937 (in Pennsylvania) and then chiefly in order to hold property.

In the United States and Canada churches, church boards, and institutions of the nonprofit type, whether incorporated or unincorporated, are exempt from taxation, and are usually incorporated under nonprofit corporation acts.

What Are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are superheroes that don’t mind being in the spotlight. You see antioxidants everywhere anymore. The word “antioxidant” is touted by nutritionists, researchers, doctors, and fitness warriors as something beneficial to the body, and the food industry has taken this view and plastered “antioxidants” on their marketing content. However, even with this widespread knowledge of the word, not many people actually understand how antioxidants work.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what antioxidants are, what they’re for, and how to include more in your diet, keep reading. I’m covering everything you need need to know about antioxidants.

What Are Antioxidants?

Definitions of antioxidants are numerous, but the most common one is that antioxidants are substances that aid in the prevention or mitigate the damage caused by free radicals to cells that are produced as a negative reaction to certain stressors and environmental factors.

The entities that cause this reaction are called free radicals, and the reaction itself is known as oxidation.

What Is Oxidation?

Think about what happens when you leave cut apple slices out in the fresh air. Over time, the white of the apple turns brown. This is the process known as oxidation. In scientific terms, oxidation happens when molecules share electrons with one another. While oxidation is essential to life and is necessary for many things to take place, such as cellular respiration, where glucose that is consumed by the foods we eat is oxidized by oxygen, it can also cause damage.

What Are Free Radicals?

Free radicals are brigands with one or more electrons that don’t have pairs. Electrons like having friends, so when unpaired electrons come around, it can result in volatile, unstable molecules. To stabilize itself, the free radicals have to steal electrons or give an electron away. In the event that another molecule loses an electron, the molecule becomes oxidized and transforms into a free radical, too.

This new free radical will repeat the process of either losing or stealing electrons from other molecules, eventually causing permanent damage to whatever the molecules are a part of.

However, the presence of an antioxidant can act as a protector of the defenseless molecule. Antioxidants do this by acting like a martyr who gives away their own electrons to the free radical, thus stabilizing the electrons and stopping the domino effect from ever happening.

Unlike molecules, the antioxidant has a superpower that allows it to sacrifice a piece of itself without becoming destabilized. They only deactivate.

Not all free radicals are evil and do terrible things to your body. Some can be employed by the immune system to aid in the battle against foreign invaders. There are also free radicals that are created by our bodies through exercise, stress, and diet. Yet, if you are under the presence of too much stress and contaminants, such as tobacco smoke and alcohol or pollution, the free radical exposure can overload the body.

When that happens, you get instances of cancer, premature aging, and other diseases.

Different Types of Antioxidants

There’s a broad variety of antioxidants present in food. Not all antioxidants are equal, either. For the purpose of this discussion, antioxidants get divided into two groups:

  • Water soluble
  • Fat soluble

The water-soluble antioxidants are those that dissolve into anything comprised largely of water, include blood and intracellular fluid. Most water-soluble antioxidants do their jobs in and around the cells. Meanwhile, fat-soluble antioxidants get dissolved into the fat stores and act on cellular membranes

Now, antioxidants of both categories can come from a number of sources, both from production within the body and occurring naturally in foods. Antioxidants can also be used as additives in foods where they are usually not present, such as tocopherols (Vitamin E) in cereals to preserve freshness or calcium and Vitamin D in orange juice.

Because there are thousands of substances that can behave as an antioxidant, it is impossible to make a full list. Furthermore, most antioxidants have other tasks within the body; but these roles aren’t interchangeable, so you need a rich diet full of variety.

Here is a summarized list of the most important antioxidants:

  • Beta-carotene
  • Lycopene
  • Lutein
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Selenium
  • Zeaxanthin
  • Selenium
  • Flavonoids and flavones
  • Catechins
  • Polyphenols
  • Phytonutrients

Food Sources of Antioxidants

Did you know that in the Western diet, coffee is considered the best source of antioxidants? It’s simply because Americans can’t get enough of it. Also, Americans don’t necessarily eat enough of a balanced diet to get their antioxidants from anywhere else.

It’s sad and amazing all at once.

Thus, I stress the importance of a colorful diet full of different types of foods so you can get the full rainbow of antioxidant vitamins and minerals. Aiming to fill your diet with more superfoods is a great way to start, because “superfoods” often have more than one antioxidant.

Here are some foods rich in antioxidants:

  • Dairy
  • Tomatoes
  • Eggs
  • Berries
  • Oranges
  • Bell peppers
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Peanuts
  • Carrots
  • Spinach
  • Peas
  • Mangoes
  • Bananas
  • Leafy greens
  • Corn
  • Rice
  • Wheat
  • Cheese
  • Eggplants
  • Green and black tea
  • Coffee
  • Dark chocolate
  • Carob
  • Spirulina
  • Matcha powder
  • Maca powder
  • Goji berries
  • Blueberries
  • Apples
  • Lentils
  • Broccoli
  • Fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut)
  • Spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, turmeric, oregano, basil
  • Quinoa
  • Chia and flax

As you can see from this list, these foods are probably going to be on your plate already. If not, you now have a reason to nibble dark chocolate, sip green tea, and eat a vegetable-stuffed omelet. Keep in mind that when you pair foods, you are getting a number of antioxidants that work synergistically. For example, when you eat an omelet with spinach, bell peppers, and garlic, and tomatoes, you are getting Vitamin A, beta-carotene, selenium, lycopene, and a bunch of other vitamins and minerals that are essential to your health.

Avoid Supplementation

Loading up on antioxidants might seem like an excellent idea, but you have to remember that you could get too much of a good thing. Instead of using a supplement, which could end up giving you toxic levels of some vitamins and nutrients, it’s much smarter to eat a wider range of foods.

Antioxidant supplements come with risks of overdosing and raising chances of various cancers, accelerating tumor growth, disrupting certain medications, and causing hormonal imbalances.

Antioxidants are incredible molecules that protect the human body from free radical damage, which could lead to a list of diseases if left unchecked. In order to get the most antioxidants, be sure to seek out vitamins and minerals in their most natural form—your next meal—and opt for more fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are a must for individuals who want to stay healthy and ward off any debilitating diseases, so eat up!
