Need a Chiropractor NE
So I have seriously pinched my sciatic nerve and I am in need of immediate chiropractic attention. Can anyone recommend a good chiropractor in the north east? I am hoping to not have to run from a chiro to a hospital for x rays and back again if possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes indeed it's a question asked a million times! *drink!*

I know American Property Management is one of the biggies in Portland, and I have a bunch bookmarked on my website already, but what are the others? I know I'm missing something that should be obvious.

I'm still searching for that elusive 2 bedroom for under $650; if you know of anything coming up where the landlord accepts co-signer in leiu of the 3x rent income rule, please please please let me know!

Trying to find orange hoodie and orange sweatpants
Does anyone know where I may find an orange hoodie and orange sweatpants for men? I need it for a costume, so cheap would be good price. No more than $15 for the hoodie and $10 for the pants is preferred. I already tried looking at several different Goodwill stores but no luck. Kmart had Beavers stuff only in orange so it was overpriced. I'd prefer locations on the west side, downtown, SE, NW, SW PDX not more than 10 miles from downtown.

Nikki McClure


Can anyone name some local shops where I can find art by Nikki McClure? I'm particularly looking for her posters and/or notecards. I know I can order them from buyolympia.com, but there must be some places in town where I can find them in person.

Thanks!

HALP
I am going to a birthday party for Charles Darwin later tonight (he's turning 199!), and I want to make some sort of Darwin-themed snack but my mind is a blank slate.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING? I have in my possession: various baking pans, a kitchenaid stand mixer, a grocery store full of food, an oven, and a large set of knives.

OMG.

Also there will be vegans there, and one of the vegans is celebrating his birthday, so I feel like this should be a vegan darwin treat.

::natural selection-themed nerdiness strongly encouraged::

Here are my ideas so far:
-dna cupcakes
-barnacle-shaped cookies

"Underground" social networking site?
Last night on NPR there was a show about social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook and even Craigslist and a caller called in and said she belonged to an underground social networking site and the host asked what the site was and she said she wouldn't say.  

Does anyone here know what site she was talking about?  

THANKS!

(And yes, I tried Google)

Calling all marrieds!
Hello, DPers!

I'm going to be photographing my first wedding in a few weeks, and I need a little artistic inspiration. For all you marrieds out there (or people who are wedding enthusiasts), what do your favorite wedding shots look like?

I'm looking for ideas on poses, camera positioning, lighting, etc., etc., etc.

Danke!!

renting a house
I'm planning on getting out of my apartment and renting a house with 3 to 4 friends starting in early May. I've been looking around Craigslist to get a general price range and idea of good locations, but I know there are other resources. Besides the obvious (walking/biking around and looking for FOR RENT signs), do you guys have any good resources?
Mostly I am posting because I remember someone asking a similar question awhile back and getting a great response from a member who gave a detailed list of rental/management companies in town. I have searched the memories and gone back through quite a few posts, and I can't find it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can repost that, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks
