No Fires With High Winds

Written by admin on May 21, 2010

Don’t set a fire for the time being, even if state fire officials had issued a permit to do so.

With thin resources and hot, dry weather Friday, officials temporarily suspended any permission to light controlled or prescribed burns in the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, according to CalFire, or the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

There is a chance that burning privileges might be restored within a few days

Brent & Kelly King In Sacramento & Washington

Written by admin on May 21, 2010

A week after their daughter’s killer was sentenced, the Kings take their fight for Chelsea’s Law to Capitol Hill.

The just arrived home from Washington, along with Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, who provided an update with a news conference.

Now, I know a lot of people are upset at the cost of this law (if it does indeed become one)…but, really…is there a way to put a price on our childrens safety? I don’t believe there is. There is far too many offenders out there to let run loose…it’s well worth it, to me.

Attempted Abduction Locally

Written by admin on May 21, 2010

Just a word of warning – Police have released a composite sketch of a man suspected of trying to abduct a 14-year-old girl as she walked home from Lincoln Middle School in Oceanside on Wednesday.

The suspect followed the girl and pulled up alongside her in his vehicle, police said. The man reportedly told the girl to “get in the car.” Police said the suspect drove onto the curb on Oceanside Boulevard near Camelot Drive ahead of the girl and blocked her path.

In fear, the girl ran in the opposite direction and the suspect fled.

The suspect is described as a black man, 40 to 45 years old, thin build, short black hair and with lots of facial wrinkles. He was wearing a dark-blue T-shirt and black sunglasses, according to the victim.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Detective Josh Morris at 760-435-4905.

Lovely – Broke My Camera

Written by admin on May 21, 2010

So I decided this morning while I was at the beach, I’d get cute and take some pictures off the rocks. Great idea, until I slipped and cracked my camera. Now I have to go looking for an olympus camera repair place to fix it up. Hopefully it’s a cheap fix!

I Need To See Your Computer

Written by admin on May 21, 2010

Well, actually, no – not YOUR computer. Though, I do need to see some of my friends and they need to see mine. Essentially, what we need is the ability to see each others computer’s remotely, and the only way to actually do that is through Remote PC Access Software. I haven’t bought any recently mostly because I was trying to do my homework and research on them. I’ve had a few in the past, but, one didn’t work well…another wasn’t what I needed, more or less – I haven’t found what I’ve wanted. Until now. Essentially, I need a program that will allow me to safely (and by that, I mean secure…I don’t want anybody being able to hack into the information, you know?) look at my friends computers and allow them to look at mine while we come together on our plan of building our new online sports store and forum. I’m good at a few things that they’re not very talented at, so, rather than have to drive over to their place…I can stay home, be comfy, and show them what they need to do and they can watch me (and get files from my computer) and I can do the same to them when the role is reversed. Really a great key to a successful business in my opinion.

More School Cuts? Shocking…

Written by admin on May 18, 2010

The Poway Unified School District school board on Monday unanimously approved the elimination of bus service for regular education students, expressing regret over the move but saying it was the fiscally responsible thing to do.

The decision, which despite the pleas of parents and bus drivers who said it would create a hardship for many families, goes into affect with the 2010-2011 school year.

The cut will force about 3,300 of the district’s 33,000 students, or about 10 percent, to find other ways to get to and from school.

Special education students will be unaffected.

Bayfront Port Expansion Vote

Written by admin on May 18, 2010

Sound famiiliar? Seems like we’ve heard this before…

Really though, one of the biggest hurdles to development along the Chula Vista bayfront could be conquered today with the San Diego Port Commission’s expected approval of a 10,000-page environmental report that lays out a compromise between preserving the environment and building by the water.

For years a host of public agencies, environmental groups, developers and concerned citizens have worked to address the potential effects of developing 550 acres of coveted coastal land that borders a wildlife refuge, a power plant and contaminated acreage.

Today, the Port District’s seven commissioners will take a final vote on certifying the report, which is the first of many more steps before building can begin.

Traffic Changes On Newport Road

Written by admin on May 18, 2010

For anyone who’s ever been stuck in long lines of cars waiting to turn left at Haun and Newport roads, which is one of the city’s busiest intersections, relief could be on the way.

The City Council on Tuesday night will be asked to approve a contract extension for a consultant to craft plans to extend two left-turn lanes at the intersection. During peak hours and especially on weekends, the left-turn lane from westbound Newport to southbound Haun can be especially troublesome for commuters and shoppers headed to the Countryside Marketplace shopping center.

Oh, and btw? Please watch out for the cameras. Those things catch you and you’ve got a nice 400 dollar bill in your mail.

A Student Loan

I received an e-mail the other day, asking me about student loans and what types (and the advantages of them) there were. I did a little research and wanted to point these out to my readers.

Online Love?

Written by admin on May 18, 2010

You know, I don’t get people who find “issue” when it comes to finding love online. Maybe it’s an older generation (in general) that doesn’t really care for it, but, I think it’s more than awesome. I totally admit that I have used a dating site before. Heck, to be flat honest, I even met my girlfriend online and we’ve been going two years strong now. Actually, almost two and a half years and have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

I mean, to be honest, it’s hard enough to find love anyway, am I right? The nice thing about online dating sites is that you can really get to know the in’s and out’s of a person. You don’t have to do that whole awkward Q&A session with them at a bar or a restaurant or whatever. You don’t waste your time or money going out only to fail once you realize the person isn’t what you’re looking for. And not only that, but, life is really busy. It’s nice to just be able to “date” on your own time with your own resources. And then when the time comes, you can meet in person, but using a date site is such an advantage to finding true love, if you ask me.
