I don't go in public pools very much. But! Sometimes I may in the community or HOA pool. Anyone know…Read More if there is anything you can check the water with prior to taking a dip?

Such a ridiculous and flawed report. First of all it is a slam on our military. Second, the…Read More assumption is made that all calls made from California locations are made by Californians. Shame on the Patch for perpetuating such nonsense!

Muzzle the AQMD with a catalytic converter on their oral cavity, they spread more B.S. than all…Read More the cows and fire rings in California. Another ungoverned agency in our bureaucratic society that perpetuates its own self importance with imperceptive facts and fiction. They have driven more jobs out of California and we still have them spewing polluted air.

OK, I'll be the first.
$70 bucks/mo. They mowed front yard and back. Includes lawn trimming, but…Read More nothing else, i.e. no hedge clipping, fertilizing, etc.
So I fired them and do it myself. Lawn work is satisfying to me because there's a sense of accomplishment that I strangely don't get during the Mo-Fri grind.

Got to give Gov. Brown credit for recognizing that the surplus is a "one off" situation.…Read More I wouldn't be surprised if the planned budget will be smaller in FYI 14-15 than it is 13-14. The analysts that answered questions about why next year is anticipated to be lower were hilarious. Japan, workers working less hours, China, North Korea (seriously). It will be lower next year because companies and people were taking profits, accelerating dividend and cap gains and delaying deductions to avoid the 2013 FEDERAL tax increase. With his hands tied with Props 98/111 and needing to spend those funds on ED, CC does make some sense. I can't speak to the strategy and timing of how the the money is being spent. I would have preferred that districts been allowed to retire as much debt as possible to reduce cash flow to debt servicing, and increasing the amount of cash flow that could be spent on ED.

I am not aware that CTA must approve any curriculum implemented in CA. Please cite your source.…Read More
As for attacking teachers, please read your posts on just this one thread. Here's just one direct quote:
"I don't see anything so radical in it that would require our already (presumed) expert teachers to need a billion dollars worth of training."
As has been pointed out the billion dollars is targeted for EVERY part of implementation, not just teacher training. You really have trouble seeing past your dislike for teachers to see what this article is really saying. This is often the case.

fact checker, as you are certainly aware, CTA must approve any curriculum that is implemented in the…Read More state of California. That being said, there is no requirement that this be done using categorical funds. This was done to direct money as CTA desired. It offers no benefit students in CUSD.
LaAna, please be accurate. I don't attack teachers.

Well, the loans are there, they just aren't liar loans anymore. There's been a shift back to…Read More collateral-based lending and fundamental lending standards, e.g. the notion of a down payment requierement ("skin in the game") and "ability to pay rule" for borrowers. OMG What a novel concept! It's like Banking 101 for these jokers. I welcome it because I'm tired of using tax dollar to bail out HELOC abusers.
Realtors need to make commission-paying hay while the sun shines though in 2013. Prices are high now because of low supply. Fannie and Freddie are introducing new QRM rules (qualified residential mortage) in 2014.
Also coming our way in 2014:
1. Putting sacred cow on a diet - future reductions in Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction? $70 billion/yr. federal subsidy.
2. New Fed Chairman (Bernanke likely heading out the door).

The high home prices are in regional bubbles. Houses in Rossmoor are way up from 6-9 mouths ago.…Read More Average listing price now is 830,000 and 8 months ago it was 670,000. However, my friend's neighborhood home prices in Costa Mesa are dead flat and have gone up very little. A quick check of Zillow will show the real hot spots.
And it is still a buyers market since the economy is supposed to go weak in a few months killing sales and price growth. And not many homes are selling for over a million anymore. Everyone wants old stock homes they can knockdown. And everyone is using cash only, which means ONLY the rich are buying now. So it really does not matter about supply if you can't get a loan. Right Friedrich.
