12/29/09 06:33 pm - [info]cuervolinda posting in [info]damnportlanders - Cab Company With Child Safety Seats in PDX?

I was supposed to pick up my ex and my 4 year-old from the airport tonight. I'm thinking I will send a cab for them instead and avoid driving. Has anyone used a taxi service with baby or child safety seats in Portland? The phones to all of them are busy (of course), or putting me on hold forever. I just want the easy answer! Thank you in advance, Deepies.

12/29/09 05:46 pm - [info]cutemoogle posting in [info]damnportlanders - What did Obama fuck up this month...

... well, he did sign away U.S. sovereignty and every Americans' right to due process and other constitutional protections against foreign entities.

www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-amending-executive-order-12425
"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,
December 16, 2009."

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-surrenders-u-s-sovereignty-his-interpol-executive-order/

"A paragraph later, McCarthy describes Obama’s actions in the starkest of terms:

This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States."

When you read most of the legalese, it looks like a lot of tax and duty issues, but there are two tiny little statements that is what should concern everyone: the end of sec 2(c) "The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable
."

All INTERPOL has to do now is 'claim' they have records/evidence/proof that deems someone guilty of a charge, and no one in this country can question it since their archives and records have been deemed inviolable; or beyond reproach.

Their property and assets are also immune from search and/or confiscation. As the citizen.com article points out; when you're arrested, you become a ward of that policing organization, read: their responsibility and property.

This fucking moron probably didn't even bother reading what he was signing; he was too busy smiling for the cameras.

Oh DP, I love you!
So I can tell everyone is excited about this year's snowpocalypse, but what I want to know is, what is everyone planning to do to enjoy our new winter wonderland?
I for one am drinking hot tea to keep warm and cleaning my house avoid cabin fever, also running around around my house with my doggie, going to try to catch lots of snowflakes in my mouth and maybe take some photos.
Fun!
Your turn DP!

OMGZ SNOW! @ Murray & Farmington in Beaverton.

12/29/09 06:05 pm - [info]missbeasto posting in [info]worldofwarcraft - I don't quite know what I'm looking for.

I have been playing for a couple of years now, and I still have never managed to get any of my toons over 30 until now. I actually just went through and deleted a bunch that I haven't touched in over a year and weren't very attached to. I am 50% altoholic and 50% ... bored. I guess.

I am impressed that I've leveled Ivalisse, my Belfy Hunter to nearly 40. I think that I am going to stick with her as my main and still be somewhat of an altoholic... as long as I promise myself not to neglect her.

I'm too much of a solo player. I have no idea how to change my style of play to include other people which pretty much means all I do is run around doing quests and leveling alone. I've had a couple of Co-Workers who last summer, insisted on running me through a few instances so I could get some better gear in preparation for hitting 40 on Iva (which I am about a level and a half from now finally haha) but that's about it.

Which is fine - most of the time I like to be alone, WoW is totally my way of winding down after a rough day at work. But sometimes I read posts in the various WoW communities and I kind of miss playing with others like I did when I still played FFXI. I feel like I am missing something by having a vanity guild, and that I am missing out on fun and drama and something just... essential .. and that when/if I ever want to raid or do anything but grind out levels, that I will have absolutely NO CLUE what I am doing.

I am probably a pretty suck player, which is fine since I solo so much. My UI is probably crap. My Addons are probably a hoot.... But I think it would be fun to learn and expand because I do love WoW.

I am very much a casual player. I have a boyfriend who never uses his computer unless it is to check email, and I have a strange work schedule (and a lot of hours) so I've always been pretty much afraid to join a guild because my few friends who DO play, tend to want someone who has a lot of time to commit to various things, which I don't have. While I do log on pretty much every day, skipping a few here and there, it is at different times and I can't often commit to doing things as a group for lengthy periods.

I guess what I am looking for is either... a fairly active SOCIAL guild that is more focused on friendship, helping each other out etc on Feathermoon (US) where my main is, or a group of people who'd like to start out newbies together for similar on whatever Server and Faction. Or both! I think it would be fun to gather a group of strangers together to start out as newbs, build a guild and grow together from the ground up!

12/29/09 04:34 pm - [info]jj_maccrimmon posting in [info]urban_decay - Abandoned Places – The Lyric Theatre versus The Alabama Theatre (July 09)

As promised, here’s more photos of the beautiful old theater in Birmingham, Alabama I posted before. Part of the reason I got to shoot inside The Lyric Theatre was to compare and contrast the condition of the Lyric, versus the condition of the fully restored Alabama Theatre across the street. The folks who own The Alabama also own The Lyric and due to some personal and professional connections, I had free run of both buildings to shoot over nearly six hours. Obviously this gave me and two other photographers/explorers time to see things that many folks would never notice on a causal tour. It also resulted in 400+ photos just from my camera. Thus said, I’m going to be posting these images for some time to come.

12/29/09 12:59 pm - [info]danger0usbeans posting in [info]damnportlanders - Looking for live feeders

My wife and I just got a beautiful little bearded dragon. Her previous owners were feeding her crickets, but that's really not the best possible food for her. Unfortunately, every pet store I've tried so far only carries crickets and sometimes mealworms and superworms. We'd like to switch her over to Dubia roaches and silkworms or phoenix worms, but I can't seem to find either. I've already tried Petsmart, Petco, and The Tropical Hut on Division (best selection there, but still only crickets, mealworms, and superworms). Does anyone know of a place locally where I can get Dubias and silkworms? Am I pretty well limited to online ordering and hoping they're still alive when they get here?
