Goodbye Portland



This is going to be my last post on Portland (OR) Daily Photos, the 366th post. I'm leaving Portland to Chicago on Wednesday. I'm going to drive all the way from Portland to Chicago, passing through 9 states; a 6-day long road trip. Pretty exciting!

I want to thank my blogger friends who I owe them much because of their kind support and love throughout these two years. The first days when I was new in Portland, I knew very few people and places and I was feeling home sick. My blog was a safe and warm place for me to feel that I have so many friends all over the world, to feel your support and love. After almost two years, it is still a safe and warm place for me to visit your blogs, view your photos, and make sure each of you is doing well in your own corner of the world. I've learned many things from you. You've changed my view to the world. I can't find words to describe your role in my life. I just want to thank you and shout out that I love you all: DinaPetreaKimElaineLaurieBibiJMAnnHopeBeckyKrisBabooshkaHildaJillyLynette, and many others. Dina, Petrea, Elaine, and Laurie you've been the best.

Please stay in touch with me via my new blog, Chicago Daily Photo.

Chicago??! I can't believe you are going (and driving!) to my hometown! And Northwestern, the university I dreamed of attending. What a campus, what excellence!
Oh that's great, Meead. You will love it.
Congrats on finishing your Master's. On to a Ph.D., wow!
Thanks for your kind words. It's an honor to be one of your old "aunties."
Have a safe drive and takes lots of pictures.
See you at Chicago Daily Photo!

Ann said...

Has it really been two years? Its gone so quickly. Congratulations on completion. Look forward to seeing Chicago through your eyes.
I don't look in as much as I used to (net usage is closely monitored at work) but I do keep an eye on what you are up to.

Best wishes, Ann.

Petrea Burchard said...

Congratulations, Meead! I'm so happy for you! You're going to love Northwestern (except in the dead of winter, when you will miss the warmth of Mashhad.) Chicago is my old home ground, too, and I know what a great place it is.

I'm also excited for your road trip. I hope you have time to take it easy and enjoy all the wonderful places you'll be traveling through.

Meead, it's a pleasure being your blog friend (and "auntie"!). Stay in touch.

USelaine said...

Meead, I too am honored to be among your caring aunties. You have shown us your excellence of mind and heart ever since we visited your welcoming and educational blog of Mashhad. Thank you for teaching us about Iran, and for giving us a way to feel more about the events there of the past years. The future holds great things for you, wherever you decide to go, and whatever you decide to do.

Have a great trip!

Gosh, Meaad... Something told me to check your blog today.

I feel so bad that I haven't been in touch for such a long time. This past year has been a hard one for me; many mother troubles and finally I brought her over here to be closer.

I wish you all the best in Chicago and in your life.

When you make use of a cell phone, it iss very important be close too a mobhile cell tower.
Like Verizon, Sprint does not providee nationwide coverage of Wi - Max; instead, they offer 3G mobile broadband services for cities lacking Wi
- Max access. Often, in the middle of nowhere, it can bee difficult to get reliable Wi - Fi service,
so for adventurers it is better to turn to
a mobile phone which can get the internet off of a satellite or have a
tablet with the same capabilities.

How can you be sure tto fjnd the best possible broadbband service for
your postcode. While the early 2000's saw DSL and
then Dedicated Internet Access(DIA) as thee dominant sources of Bandwidth
used to delier the Internet to the bsiness community, the current trend might suggst that the cable companies entry into the business market couhld become a signifdicant
source in the coming years. There are lots of benefits of cheap satellite internet.

In addition, the copst of satellite internet service has been coming down so it will fit perfectly into the budgbet of an outdoor festival.It seems
ecery mobile operaator is playingg a wawiting game.For example, the artt world and theater world used to be more unto themselves.

Broadband through satellite is beamed to a
satellite dish that is installed at a home or business. Those with dial-up
connections are often charged by how much time
they sped online. As a result, iit will be free of any other clutter and be able to operate on a much faster scale tan ever before.

Cyber Monday has become almost as big aas Black Friday thanks to the internet.
These features, with thhe combinatio of the fast broadband internet, are making these phones very popular, especially for the young people.
Once you are satisfied, bbuy yourself a prepaid starter kit, with simm and data.

But all of the areas do not receive thos type of high speed internet signal, and
in an attempt to finjd a service that is superior tto dial up connections,
you will likoely have to search iin a few different
places. However, the internet banking revolution has
had other positive effects as well. Satellite internet is available in many places where DSL, cable internet, and broadbaqnd are not.

Anonymous said...

It's important to be clear about what you actually use broadband for, ffor example do you tend to download a lot of films and music.
In addition, women are more than likely to file their taxes online
bby using the Internal Revenue's Service's Free File system rather than men. If you are in any doubt about the credentials of the comparison site you are using, look out for the "Price Comparison Calculator Approved by Ofcom" logo somewhere on the home page of the site.

Fibre optic cables allow more data to travel hrough them than copper,which helps

it looks fine however when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.

Zentrum der Kongresse und Lehrveranstaltungen auf dem Messegelände ist das Congress Center Leipzig (CCL).

Die Alte Messe Leipzig war bis 1996 der Standort der Technischen Leipziger Messe (auch Technisches Messegelände).
Der Begriff Leipziger Messe steht synonym sowohl für das
seit 1996 im Norden der Stadt Leipzig im Stadtteil Seehausen befindliche
Messe-, Kongress- und Ausstellungsgelände als auch für
das 1991 gegründete und auf dem Messegelände ansässige Unternehmen Leipziger
Messe GmbH. Hinzu kommen andere Kongresse
und Großveranstaltungen, wie z. B. der SPD-Parteitag 2013.
Im Jahr 2012 wurde das CCL vom britischen Fachmagazin „Business Destinations" zum besten Kongress- und Tagungszentrum Europas gewählt. Das 1900 erbaute Gründerzeitgebäude im Leipziger Zentrum wurde ab 2009 zu einem modernen Tagungszentrum umgebaut. Das Kongresszentrum CCL weist eine Grundfläche von 8337 m² auf; insgesamt 21 Räume (davon 5 Säle) bieten Platz für knapp 3900 Personen. Der Kongress nutzt das CCL und mehrere der großen Hallen und ist regelmäßig ausverkauft - im Jahr 2018 mit 17.000 Dauerbesuchern. Von ca. 1895 bis zum Jahr 1991 stand der Begriff Leipziger Messe für die Mustermesse (Kürzel: MM). Im Jahr 2017 ging die World Dog Show nach Deutschland an den Verband für das deutsche Hundewesen (VDH), der sie in der Leipziger Messe veranstaltet.
