Have You Checked Out Club Penguin?

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Okay, so the other day I’m surfing the net and I come across Club Penguin. After a little investigating, I’ve come to the conclusion that this place rocks! It’s a really cool, virtual world that’s SAFE for all ages. So I started looking for some additional information/cheats/tips, etc and when I did, I noticed you can get a club penguin membership for free, just by signing up. They’re having a competition ongoing right now as we speak which is giving away memberships – so check it out.

I Love Pods

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Okay, seriously, you know those moving pods – you see commercials for them on TV all the time, you know, like U-Pack. I just absolutely love the things. I used one before when I moved, but, people don’t realize how handy they are for non-moving situations. Say for example, when I had to have the house sprayed for termites, I just moved all of the items into the pods. It makes life so much easier. And they’re cheap too!! Look at the recent pod rates. You can’t do better than that.

Cousin Thinking About College

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

So, this past weekend we had a get together here at the house, a little early “happy summer” family party. You know, anything to get the folks together to have a good time, right? Anyway, my little cousin was here (well, I say little, she’s a senior in high school lol) and we were talking about school and life in general. I guess sometimes maybe it’s easier to talk to other family members than parents. Anyway, she was talking to me about scholarships, etc…and how difficult it was to get one. And while it might not be the easiest thing in the world, it’s very much obtainable…you just have to go about it the right ways. I told her to check out this link that will point her to easy scholarships and to set up an appointment with her guidance counselor at school. That will get her on the right foot

My Poor Computer

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Ugh, it is sooo slow right now. And honestly, it’s not that old. Maybe a year or two? It’s just so frustrating when the registry gets all clogged up and really, it’s almost impossible to prevent it. So, I’m getting a cheap online registry cleaner – I’ve decided it. I’ve been doing my research on them and I think I’ve come to a final conclusion about it. Hopefully it’ll fix up my computer being so slow and the registry just being a burden. I tell ya, computers – temperamental things if there ever was one. Am I right?!

Temecula High Breaks Record – 1,200 Graduate

Written by admin on June 11, 2010

Temecula Valley High School valedictorian Allison Wolfe said she resorted to bribing classmates with doughnuts to secure enough tickets for all of her friends and family to attend her graduation Thursday.

The sugary treats worked: Wolfe had 20 guests in the crowd when she addressed the class Thursday evening.

She led a class of 532 graduates who celebrated 25 years of Temecula Valley High School during commencement ceremonies.

Later, 723 Great Oak High School seniors received diplomas on a chilly night more appropriate for October football than a June graduation.

Wolfe’s cheering section included her parents, friends and even her pastor.

A big congrats to everybody who graduated. That’s an amazing accomplishment. Props are sent out to the school as well.

Alpha Project Set To Resume

Written by admin on June 11, 2010

The Alpha Project for the Homeless is resuming operation of the city’s drop-in center for people who live on the street — two years after losing its long-standing contract to Father Joe Carroll’s St. Vincent de Paul organization.

The transition, which takes place July 1, returns control of the Neil Good Day Center to the Alpha Project, the nonprofit that operated the center between 1991 and 2008.

I think this is a wonderful thing that they do…so glad to see it back on its feet.

Carlsbad’s Lack Of Improvements A Sore Spot

Written by admin on June 11, 2010

Carlsbad ought to spend money on open-space preservation and traffic-light synchronization, rather than on its costly municipal golf course, a series of residents declared during a lively budget workshop Thursday.

One resident who is a traffic engineer said Carlsbad’s traffic light system is “all screwed up,” and urged fellow workshop participants to force Carlsbad’s leaders to improve it.

Two land preservation proponents said the city has ignored residents’ wishes for years and hasn’t spent “one dime” of the money that voters authorized for habitat preservation back in 2002. They were particularly upset, they said, about how the city failed to buy the “Village H” property in northeastern Carlsbad. And really, I find it hard to blame them. The city, with all the money they have, does a real poor job at doing the right thing for the town.

Escondido Schools Still Struggling

Written by admin on June 11, 2010

Escondido teachers kept their shirts on at Thursday night’s school board meeting, while parents of Felicita Elementary students delivered a petition pleading to keep teachers at their school next semester.

Teachers disappointed with contract negotiations in the Escondido Union School District staged a dramatic protest two weeks ago by throwing shirts on the floor in front of trustees and claiming they only had “the shirts off our backs” left to give after accepting salary reductions and increased insurance fees.

Romero Maratea, president of the Escondido Elementary Educators Association, which represents teachers in the district, did not speak at Thursday’s meeting but said outside the board room that the last of 10 negotiation sessions with trustees had been completed Wednesday without resolution.

Teachers are working under a contract that runs until June 2011, but wages and benefits are renegotiated each year. Maratea said the union is prepared to continue negotiating into the summer and is waiting to hear back from the board.

Promote Yourself Or Your Business?

Written by admin on June 11, 2010

I’m always trying to be one-up on everybody when it comes to future social networking sites. Don’t ask me why – I don’t know either, but, I came across MyEventHub – Promote yourself! which seems to be a new and intriguing social networking site where you can promote yourself, maybe a musical band, sell tickets…anything you want really. Check it out – looks sweet!
