Portland is a city located in the Northwestern United States, near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers in the state of Oregon. As of July 2008, it has an estimated population of 575,930, [5] making it the 29th most populous in the United States. [6] It has been referred to as the most environmentally friendly or "green" city in the United States, and the 2nd most in the world. [7] Portland is Oregon's most populous city, and the third most populous city in the Pacific Northwest, after Vancouver, British Columbia, and Seattle, Washington. Approximately two million people live in the Portland metropolitan area ( MSA), the 23rd most populous in the United States as of July 2006. [8]Portland was incorporated in 1851 and is the county seat of Multnomah County.[9] The city extends slightly into Washington County to the west and Clackamas County to the south. It is governed by a commission-based government headed by a mayor and four other commissioners. The city and region are noted for strong land-use planning[10] and investment in light rail, supported by Metro, a distinctive regional-government. Portland is known for its large number of microbreweries and microdistilleries, and its coffee fanaticism. It is also the home of the Trail Blazers NBA basketball team. Portland lies in the Marine west coast climate region, marked by warm, dry summers and rainy but temperate winters. This climate is ideal for growing roses, and for more than a century, Portland has been known as "The City of Roses"[11][12] with many rose gardens—most prominently the International Rose Test Garden.

6. Patrick Was A Parasite - An Interview With Patrick Burke
November 13, 2009
Oregon Music News by Robert Ham on November 12, 2009
Were the Portland duo known as The Parasites Of The Western World to have gotten the attention they so richly deserved when they were together in the late ’70s and early ’80s, chances are they would be talked about in the same breath as Suicide, Devo and Pere Ubu as one of the essential U.S. post-punk bands. The band’s two LPs – a 1978 self-titled effort and the 1980 follow up Substrata – are cult classics that slather heaps of psych rock weirdness atop wandering space blues and discursive piano instrumentals.

Keeping braces clean is extremely important, will help prevent problems and keep discomfort to a minimum.

16. The Importance of Regular Dental Care
October 04, 2009
You should still get dental checkups while you’re in braces! Regular dental care and checkups are especially important for children in orthodontic appliances (braces). This is because due to the nature of braces and their design, they are very difficult to clean around. The parts of teeth covered by orthodontic bands are actually protected from cavities if all decay is removed before the braces are placed. But, the exposed parts of teeth can still decay and often are difficult to clean. We will keep an eye on all oral issues for our patients. We recommend all cavities be filled and... (read more)

October 04, 2009
Many parents are rightfully confused about when is the right time to start their cchildren's dental visits. Some Pediatricians say the first dentist visit should be about age two or three.

They had both moved from the East Coast to Portland, Oregon to be with their children and grandchildren. Neither was observant in the Orthodox sense of the word, but both had bought kosher meat back east. While my grandmother contin... (read more)
