Florida Mail In Gold Buying Law Suits Cash4Gold

Written by admin on February 6, 2010

This new Florida law should universally help many consumers and the government by providing another tool when disputes or lawsuits arise between consumers and mail-in gold bullion, coin and jewelry buying companies.
Cash4Gold stated, “Cash4Gold is extremely proud to have worked with Florida officials to create and implement the first law of its kind regulating the mail-in gold buying industry and we welcome the opportunity to work with lawmakers in Washington on a similar bill that is national in scope.”
Coincidentally, Representative Anthony Weiner D-N.Y. has introduced the Gold Act Legislation. He said “It takes a little bit of pressure off and puts the ball back in the consumer’s court.” This Act would require gold companies to communicate customers their offer and allow them twelve days to accept or reject it. They could not destroy or sell of the gold bullion, coins or jewelry before then. This law would also mandate the gold businesses to insure the gold for at least the same amount the customer insured it for when they mailed or otherwise sent it.

Cause the rain is a comin!!

Approaching rain should make for a wet weekend, but it should be no match for last month’s wild storms, according to the National Weather Service.

Light rain could begin as early as this afternoon. Heavier downpours, which might include thunderstorms, should arrive late tonight and early tomorrow. Showers could linger through Sunday morning.

Rainfall totals are expected to range from about three-quarters of an inch at the coast to 1¾ inches in the mountains. The snow level should be too high to affect San Diego County mountains until late tomorrow, when it is forecast to fall to about 5,000 feet.

Murrieta School Board With More Cuts

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

The governing board and top administrators in the Murrieta school district will have their stipends and salaries cut 7.25 percent starting in July —- the same cut they are asking employees to agree to —- it was announced Thursday.

The Murrieta Valley Unified School District board voted unanimously to cut its own stipend as well as the salary and annuity contribution of Superintendent Stan Scheer and the salary and car allowances for the four assistant superintendents and the deputy superintendent.

The moves, effective July 1, are expected to save the district $75,245.50 in the 2010-11 budget year.

Cuts come as the district tries to ease an anticipated $14 million budget shortfall for the next school year.

It’s the second consecutive year the schools have faced large deficits. The current budget was buoyed by federal stimulus funds and by digging deep into reserves.

To me, this is such a shame. If there is anything…any profession that should be making more money in this world, it’s teachers and education. Such a shame.

San Diego Airport To Add 2.3 Million In Art

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

This is sure to get a few tax payers riled up…lol

Lindbergh Field officials yesterday agreed to spend more than $2.3 million on public art as part of a terminal expansion project.

By unanimous vote, members of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority board picked several artists to incorporate art into the design of the 10-gate addition at Terminal 2, on the west side of the Harbor Drive airfield. The project is expected to include a performing arts venue and a quiet room for those who want to reflect or meditate.

Work on the $1 billion expansion is set to begin in the terminal next month. The authority is using airline fees, bond money, federal grants and other revenues to fund the project.

Sunset Park To Debut Feb 26th

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

San Marcos residents can get a sneak peek at the city’s newest park Saturday nearly three weeks before it opens if they’re willing to take a little hike.

Hikers will meet at 9 a.m. at Bradley Park at 1587 Linda Vista Drive before setting out on a 4-mile Discover San Marcos hike that includes Sunset Park and trails in the west part of the city.

City community services director Craig Sargent-Beach said Thursday that walkers in the city-hosted hike will see the new park “pretty much in its completed form.”

The city broke ground on Sunset Park in August 2008.

One of at least half a dozen new recreation sites the city has started or committed to building in the next few years, Sunset Park covers 19 acres along La Mirada Drive near the city’s border with Vista.

The park features a lighted, multipurpose field, a lighted, artificial turf soccer arena, a disc golf course, an off-leash dog park, a water play area, a playground, an exercise trail and picnic areas.

My Themed Rooms

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

I’ve always had this odd obsession of themeing the rooms in my house – I’ve done it since I was a kid, expect, each of my walls was themed back then. Anyway, back to the point – two rooms I’ve been working on lately are my sports themed room and my art deco room. I’ve put up a bunch of nice framed jerseys and memorabilia in my sports themed room, but, I’m having a hard time with the art deco room. I want something nice and large, but, affordable. I’ve been looking at glass wall art lately and I’ve really fallen in love with it. It looks so classy and sophisticated, yet, has a small urban appeal which I love! I think some glass wall art would be a great centerpiece for the room.

Why Drive Without Auto Insurance?

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

I don’t get it…why people take that risk. First off, and most importantly, it’s illegal to drive without it. Why risk your future because you don’t want to pay for auto insurance? I know what some people think, “oh, it’s so expensive”…and I guess it can be if you don’t do your homework and look around, but if you look into places like NetQuote, you can really find yourself a great deal. You just need to do your homework…spend a couple hours doing the proper research and you’ll be fine. Auto insurance is only expensive if you allow it to be.

Looking for some Shades

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

I like to consider myself a fashionable person – I like to be in style, wear nice things, all of that. I think most people do. The problem with that? Well, the prices. I mean, I went to the store the other day to look for some new stuff…they wanted well over a 100 bucks for a pair of jeans. I nearly passed out. So, I thought I’d go look for some new sunglasses since mine are getting a bit too old – holy moly! They were far more money than the jeans. So, with that said, I’m just going to go the wholesale sunglasses route. They’re so much cheaper and the quality is just the same (honestly, if not better). So now I can be fashionable AND save money. Can’t beat that!

Friend Makes Salon Mistake

Written by admin on February 5, 2010

So this morning I awake to a text picture on my cell phone from a good friend in Dallas who went to some cheap salon and got her hair dyed. They did an AWFUL job. I felt sooo awful for her. You know, like anything, you need to do your homework. There are some really good dallas hair salons that she could have went to…so I’ll have to help her out and find her a REAL salon.
