Let It Go Day!

It was a balmy 95 degrees yesterday but only in the mid 80s today. In my area, we've had no rain in days, we really need it since we are a mile high the sun is that much closer than for the land at sea level. At least we rarely suffer from high humidity.

Notes from the Home Front

Nothing much out of the normal going on although some of the cucumber plants have flowers on them.

National News

Immigration

Illegal immigrant families leave Arizona and its tough new law for other parts of US - I'm sure that many of us hope they aren't moving into our states and before they can, our states will enact the same laws as Arizona's SB1070. Read the article!

Police chief: Cartels threaten U.S. law enforcement in Arizona - If you didn't understand why SB1070 is needed in Arizona, perhaps after reading this article, you'll support that state too!

Oil Spew

Judge blocks 6-month moratorium on Gulf deepwater drilling - I just don't see how "big business" could take our government to court for this. Read the article by CNN.

Homeless

I don't understand nor do I agree that we should have so many homeless people in our country. This also goes for giving help to other countries before tending to our own first. As I wrote last week, it was reported on CSPAN2 (US Senate) that closed army/navy/air force bases were to be used to house the homeless but because of some bill enacted by Senate members years ago, this isn't being done. So without further adieu, read how America Finally Has a Plan to End Homelessness.

South Carolina Town Bans Singing

The Town of Sullivan's Island is voting to ban singing and other such annoyances from their streets in order to keep peace. Read about how they will go about this.

Unemployment News

H.R. 4213 seemingly goes on life support at the moment - the beat is dying a slow long drawn out death. Many people have already lost their unemployment insurance benefits without securing a job, what should they do? Read what one blogger writes.

Local News

Democrats say veterans want Norton ad taken down - for those who don't live in Colorado, Jane Norton has been reported for years for her stand against veterans and other groups. She is poison to us and shouldn't be allowed to run for any office. Perhaps she needs to be put out on the front line where these veterans have been while fighting for a free America. Read about her ad.

My Verizon Update

On Monday, I replaced my Verizon Air Card (Pantech UM-175) with cable internet. The speeds are incredible and of course, I no longer need to worry about exceeding the 5 gig limit each month. While on the phone with Verizon, I pulled up my account online, the tech who was supposed to monitor my account and credit any overage didn't do what was expected. I will deduct that overage amount from my bill and deal with it accordingly. Thankfully, someone in Executive Services did mark my account so that my air card service was month to month so that I didn't have to pay a termination fee (prorated).

There will be more on this but for now, I'm dealing with a higher agency regarding the software bug issues that each and every user experiences.

Baby Boomers Recognition Day

The temperature today got up into the 90s and I could have sworn this morning that the weather reporter said 98% humidity which is unusual for Colorado. The skies were blue all day.

Notes from the Home Front

High Speed Internet with unlimited access was installed. Oh happy day! In other news, this morning I found that my upstairs neighbor is a cellist. Although that might be wonderful and exciting news to someone else, it wasn't to me. While the neighbor played away, I couldn't hear my tv nor could concentrate on applying for jobs.

National News

The only national news that spiked my interest besides the ongoing oil spew in the Gulf of Mexico was news on illegal immigration.

Nebraska

The town of Fremont, Nebraska joins Arizona in the fight against illegal immigration. The citizens of Fremont are angered by a recent influx of Hispanic workers attracted by jobs at local meatpacking plants. Voters in the eastern Nebraska city of Fremont will decide Monday whether to ban hiring or renting property to illegal immigrants. Read the article.

Arizona

Welcome to the Keep AZ Safe Donation Application - yes, that's right, Arizona is taking donations to keep their state safe from illegal immigrants. Find that application here. This is a secure site, your donations, I'm sure are greatly appreciated.

Support Our Border States

This article comes by way of someone I follow on Twitter. War on the Southern Border Part Two can be found by clicking this link. I'm sure that you can read Part One while at the website.

President Obama's Administration

What will these idiots think of next? First, it's Ken Sleaze-A-Czar, Secretary of the Department of Interior with not monitoring deepwater oil wells close enough. Then there is Janet Napolitano, Department of Homeland Security that wanted to sue Arizona but never read the bill (SB1070). After that, MMS for being paid off by oil corporations. This time it's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. She thinks that undocumented immigrants need to have a fair wage. WHAT? HUH? That's exactly what she said. Who are these people and why do they continue to exist in our government. Watch the video and read the article this travesty.

On the Lighter Side of Immigration

Cartoons: Illegal Immigration Absurdity - this is where I got the biggest laugh because I enjoy political cartoons. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

My Verizon Update

Over the weekend, I received the official papers that I have been waiting for via snail mail. I'll call that agency tomorrow. Since I had high speed internet installed today, I'm no longer using my Verizon Pantech UM-175 air card nor their defective VZAccessManager software. Verizon will get a phone call tomorrow to discontinue my service. More to come, I'm hoping it'll be in the not so distant future.

As always,

News Everywhere

What a gorgeous day! Sunny, warm, small clouds floating across the sky. It was also quiet here. Although it was a great day to sit out, tan and cool off in the pool, here I sat.

This week while discussing the Oil Spew via Twitter, I asked this question, "do you think that there is a relationship between oil drilling and earthquakes?". The person didn't know but another follower sent me the following information on the Kettleman North Dome Oil Field. Read the article from Wikipedia. It doesn't take much to put two and two together and get four.

Notes from the Home Front

I had won an online contest on Twitter from Grand Central Publishing, formerly known as Time Warner Books - name changed in 2006. The book I won is "Innocent" by Scott Turow. Personally, I had never heard of him before but will definitely give this a read. It is the sequel book to "Presumed Innocent" - guess I'll have to purchase and read that first. Thank you to @gcpeditor for the contest and getting the book out!

The review copy of the "The Lion" by Nelson DeMille hasn't been received yet. One of my tweets was seen mentioning reading Nelson's "The Gate House", and that is how I started following @grandcentralpub and @gcpeditor. Perhaps you should follow them too!

Something you may not know about me - I love freebies! Don't you? I was very surprised at the mailbox yesterday, in addition to the book, I received a nice recycled bag from Green Giant Foods. It was a big surprise as I forgot I even signed up for it.

We provide great information on all kinds of ridiculous fees that you want to know about and deals for those who love to save money.

National News

Arizona

Drug Cartels

During all that television watching, there is a National Park in Arizona that has been closed for four years due to drug and human trafficking.

The article - It Begins... Obama Gives Major Swath of Arizona Back to Mexico. Here is an excerpt from the article "Unbelievable! The federal government is now telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties because of invading violent illegals. The Mexican cartels have essentially taken over US territory with violence and intimidation to ply illegal
activities and the Obamanation Administration tells Americans to not venture into the area for fear of offending the criminals." It's no wonder why Governor Jan Brewer is making her mark on history for her state.

Arizona Rancher Killed

It's my opinion that some, er, most, people are very trusting. Time to stop that people! Be suspicious! Watch your back!

Slain Arizona rancher told family illegal alien needed help - An Arizona rancher who was killed in March transmitted a radio message to family shortly before he was shot to death, according to a newly released report from the Cochise County Sheriff's Department. Read the full article by CNN's Anderson Cooper on his AC360 blog.

New York

I actually can't believe that this hasn't been addressed sooner but N.Y. Moves Closer to No-Fault Divorce. Read all about it!

Here in Colorado, if you want a divorce, and both parties agree, print out the paperwork from the Colorado site, pay $90 (that's what it was in 2003), and your divorce is granted within 90 days.

GLBT

By now most everyone knows about Proposition 8, that law that repealed the law that allowed Gays, and Lesbians marry - also known as "Same Sex Marriages". A "Proposition 8 Judge troubled by lack of evidence from defense" - will this finally give Californians back the legal rights to "Same Sex Marriage". Read all about it!

US Senate Proceedings

So many amendments on HR 4213, also known as the "extenders bill". I was able to catch Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) speak on how our government can save money.

Before I tell you his ideas, I would like to note here that I am not affiliated with any party nor do I privately endorse one party over another. From my prior posts, you should have figured out that I'm for the "person" and not the "party".

If you watched Senator Tom Coburn, no matter what party affiliation you have, you would have admired the job he's doing for his Great State of Oklahoma and on his ideas on how to shave down the federal deficit. He showed a poster with a list of places that need cuts. He explained that there are many many duplicate Federal Programs and while these are duplicates, no one knows exactly how many programs are funded. Duplicate programs with duplicate funding = deficit for the duplicate program. Senator Coburn went on to explain that the average worker in the United States makes approximately $42,000/year, while Federal Workers on average are making $78,000/year not including the differences in healthcare insurance. *Note* - these numbers are from my recollection of his speech. Did you know that there is a law that Senate has passed over and over again regarding empty federal buildings? Yes, there is. By all rights, shouldn't these empty buildings be sold? Yes, that's what I thought too, they should be. No, they just sit - another loss of revenue. Did you ask what happens to Air Force, Army, and Naval bases when one is closed? Yes, I think I hear someone - they are supposed to be to help house the homeless - surprised, huh? Is this done? NO! If memory serves me correctly, there is some law prohibiting that too. There is more the Senator Coburn pointed out, one item that was most interesting was that there is a high percentage of those federal workers making $78,000 and more that don't pay taxes - it's not that they are exempt, they are delinquent! It amounts to approximately $3 BILLION.

Surf on over to Senator Tom Coburn's website, give him an atta-boy! I did!

Local News

Is Colorado going broke? That should be a question to start conversation with anyone! It is my belief that because people who are still unemployed and have run out of unemployment insurance benefits, they have turned to the Social Services Department. The article - Colorado delays Medicaid payments - may just have proved me right. Read why this has happened.

Storage available!

I usually start out explaining how hot it was today. Truth is, I have no idea. This afternoon/evening 3 tornadoes touched down in Colorado. Funnel clouds came close to where I live but sirens never went off. We had a few downpours of rain followed by humidity.

Notes from the Home Front

I was advised yesterday that the storage units in my building were going to be available today. After getting the key and borrowing the hand truck from the rental office, I proceeded to take plastic containers filled with Christmas ornaments and decorations as well as my camping equipment to the storage. Because I have had a great need for storage, there are two storage units that contain the containers that needed to be out of my spare bedroom. My spare bedroom will be transformed to a sewing/computer room.

I'm looking for people who read the authors, James Patterson, Nelson DeMille and Jeffrey Deaver. Why? I'd love to trade books. At the moment, I do this through Swaptree. I don't have any problem with them but perhaps there are some of you who can't afford to buy books and would like to trade. Let me know!

National News

Arizona

Arizona has been the forerunner in making laws that will be best for all states that fight against illegal immigration. This time, Arizona is under fire for denying "anchor babies" birth certificates from the state. Yes, I wrote comments on the article webpage in admiration of this long overdue action. Here's an excerpt from the article - "It says a state legislator is considering introducing a bill that would deny a birth certificate to a child born to an illegal immigrant." Read the entire article. Please make sure that you leave a comment too! No registration necessary.

Quitting vs being laid off

How can this be? It is reported that more people are quitting their jobs than being laid off in 2010. Millions of us are still without jobs, we can't even get a job to quit. What's happening here? Are the jobs that people are quitting ones that they took just to have a job but now have found something better? WHERE are these jobs? Find the article here.

Legislature acts on surfers

Speaking about jobs, I am sure that you have heard about government workers who surf the web for pornography and other such things. Yesterday, before Congress left for a long weekend, an amendment was offered by Mr. Maffei.

The amendment reads: An amendment numbered 13 printed in House Report 111-503 to state that no funds authorized under the act may be used to pay the salary of an employee who has been officially disciplined for viewing, downloading, or exchanging pornography (including child pornography) on a Federal Government computer or while performing official Federal Government duties.

Can you say HOT?

Today's temperature must have hit 97! If it didn't it sure felt like it and maybe more.

Notes from the Home Front

As I mentioned it was hot today. Around 2pm, it was decided that a trip to the pool would be great. Let me tell you, it was, at least for the 2 1/2 hours that I spent there. The only reason for leaving the pool area was not because I was tired or even that I'd had enough. The real reason was the screaming children. WHY do parents allow their children to scream at the top of their lungs while in and around the pool? Don't they have any control over their children? Really folks, we are at the pool for a reason, aren't we? It's to cool off, relax (as I was doing with my book), and get out of the house for a while. Is it terrible that hearing anyone scream makes my skin crawl and all I'd like to do is turn around and walk away?

Tomorrow is another day and it's my belief that perhaps I should go out there earlier and miss the screaming, then come home and go back to the pool later in the evening.

The cucumber plants are growing nicely and have the same little buds on them as about a week ago. The green pepper plants are growing slowly but they are still nice and green and look sturdy.

iPhone 4G unveiled by Steve Jobs

The iPhone 4g will be available on June 24th. There are many new features but I think that the one I'd enjoy most is the video chat. There are downsides to the iPhone 4G though, to video chat, the other person must also have the newest iPhone. Additionally, if you really don't like AT&T but stick with them because they have the iPhone - you will have to start a NEW contract with them. Yes, a TWO year contract.

It was reported that Verizon would be able to offer the iPhone by the end of this year but realistically this won't happen until sometime in 2011. IF this is true, and you are buying the iPhone 4G now, your contact with AT&T won't end without early termination fees until 2012. It is my opinion that even though the iPhone 4G is rather affordable, if you want to go with Verizon, I'd wait. Without looking it up, the termination fees for AT&T have or are going to start at $350 and pro-rate down from there.

Still interested? Read the article - Next iPhone has clearer screen, coming out June 24 here.

Chrysler Recalls

Do you own a Jeep Wrangler? Model Year(s): 2006-2010 OR Chrysler Town & Country OR a Dodge Grand Caravan? Model Year(s): 2008-2009? These vehicles are on a massive recall totaling nearly 600, 000 vehicles. Hurry to this article to find out what the recall is for and what you should do to get your vehicle fixed.

Oil Spill - Gulf of Mexico

Do you read the Drudge Report? YES? NO? Well you should! The Drudge Report gives the most unbiased news, in my opinion. One article that was written there today was - Obama Seeking "Ass To Kick" Over Oil Spill. Needless to say, President Obama should be kicking some major BP ass and any other company related to the oil rig blowing up and subsequently, the oil spill that is polluting the Gulf. Not only is it polluting the Gulf but oil is everywhere, in the marshes, on wildlife, and it has killed many people's livelihood in the way of jobs. Don't forget those pristine beaches that can't be used over this summer, and who knows how long after that. Click here for the article and don't forget to read the comments of other politicians while there.

Arizona Law SB-1070

What is our President thinking? If I had to guess, he needs to support my nearby neighboring state of Arizona in enforcing their SB-1070 law. After speaking with a few friends on this subject, we have come to the conclusion that by not enforcing and being against the law as it is written now, our President will lose votes of the LEGAL immigrants should he seek re-election. President Obama, this is NOT the way to get votes! In my eyes, our president is totally wrong on this. We NEED strict laws like Arizona's SB1070.

Read the article on how President Obama asks the Supreme Court to Overturn Napolitano-Endorsed Immigration Law. Perhaps we need to campaign our wishes to the Supreme Court!

Unemployment News

Thank you to my many friends through Facebook and Twitter for these articles.

Did you know that the Senate debate on H.R. 4213 unemployment benefits extensions is to begin this week? Unemployment steadily goes up and up and up, while the government "plays" with us who sometimes feel that there is no future for a good job. We still apply for jobs EVERY DAY. Read the article to find out what other issues are being discussed within H.R. 4213. What happened to "no pork" within a bill?

I'm adding in this next article because it's just too darn funny! Want to know How to stay unemployed, (In 10 easy lessons)? Read John Heckers article that was found in the Colorado Biz Magazine.

Perky Cups

Have you heard of the new coffee shop called Perky Cups? You haven't? At Perky Cups, bikini clad baristas serve you coffee. One such shop is in Aurora, located at the corner of Peoria and Iliff. This store is on the radar of Aurora City Councilwoman Molly Markert who would like to boycott the store. In my opinion, perhaps she is jealous that she can't look as good as the servers can. No, I have never seen a picture of or met the Councilwoman. What do you think? Even though I live close to the store, I've never been in there. As the article states, coffee comes in a variety of sizes, A, B, C and D. Coffee is Coffee, who cares what the server is wearing! Way to go, Councilwoman Markert for trying to force businesses out of Aurora! Wake up!

XCel - Breaking News

On 14th and Jackson, there was a fire and explosions at the XCel transformer station. There are outages around the city and Rose Medical had no back up power. They transported critical patients to VMAC where there was power. Crews are still working on the transformers. I wonder if this is the result of an angry XCel (I call them X-Tortion) customer trying to get even for the new pricing and higher rates. There are no reports on any toxic fumes but people in the area have been told to keep their windows and doors closed.

It's June already! (even though it is the 2nd)

What a nice day today. The Powerball Lottery was up to $264 million dollars today, at least last I heard. Did you get your tickets? I did.

Notes from the Home Front

Tonight, I started another book. This time it's "Cross" by author James Patterson. Since Patterson's books are easy reads, within just over an hour I've read 78 pages. His books are usually always around 300-400 pages. This book features Alex Cross who is now employed by the FBI and formerly the Washington DC Police Department. I like this character.

Even with the temperature in the high 70s today, I used my oven. Usually ovens heat up the whole place, but this cook-top stove never heated up the kitchen or anywhere else. I was thrilled.

Also, I follow many companies and people on twitter. One company, @JoyfulBathCo, holds a contest every Wednesday with #bathday. I received my winnings of bath salts today - 'Nilla Buttermilk. This is the 3rd time I won! Check them out! They have a variety of bath salts in yummy fragrances and will be coming out with a line of natural bath soaps. Check out their website: www.joyfulbathco.com.

National News

Oil Spill

Well - from watching the news today, I saw that the rotary saw that BP was using to cut the pipe broken down and they will try it again tomorrow. I really hope they cap the spew of oil soon. BP not only has to pay for the clean up but should pay each and every business for loss of income.





And the beat goes on in Arizona. People are protesting against SB1070 and others are praising its inception. One person who praises it is Gabriela Saucedo, she's an immigrant who became a citizen of the United States back in 1991. Read the article titled: Si, se puede! — Yes, We Can Enforce the Arizona Law and watch the video .... Gabriela makes some VERY good points.



Unemployment News


There were 4 articles that caught my eye today.

The first was The jobless recovery; the numbers don't add up. Many people, including myself, left comments how on we see the numbers and confirm that they don't add up. Read all about it! While you read, look at the map and see if you think your states numbers are correct.

The second article is aptly titled - They Still Don't Get It and you know that they really don't. So waste no time reading this one.

The third article explains about the 99er's - For ‘99ers,’ a job can feel like a mirage
Maxed out of benefits, some still haven't found work. I look and apply for jobs as required and more but theoretically, I do believe that these ads could just be a mirage. Read the article and share your comments on it.

Denver Investigations - horrendous!

Thank you to all my readers for understanding about me suspending my blog of last night.

Notes from the Home Front

Today, we were under High Wind Warnings. Trees were pulled right out of the place where they once stood, roots and all.

Denver, Colorado

Pinnacol Assurance

Last year, our no nonsense State Senator Morgan Carroll headed up an audit on Pinnacol Assurance. Because of the way Pinnacol has been listed by the state of Colorado, they are afforded "special treatment" (imho). In addition to Senator Carroll's audit, Channel 7 - ABC - www.thedenverchannel.com did a news investigation on Pinnacol. This year, Ken Ross of Pinnacol took several board members to Pebble Beach for golf, wine tours and who knows what else. Apparently, by viewing the investigation (again by Channel 7), all these perks were paid for by Pinnacol Assurance.

My Verizon Update

On Saturday evening, with the help of one of Verizon's tech support people, we learned there was a bug in the broadband software.

Today, I called the Corporate Office in Manhattan AGAIN! I talked to another person there, going through the whole story again. He promises me that someone will call me back tomorrow. We'll see. I'm thinking that each and every one who has told me that just wants to get me off the phone. I already have all the information by emails and my logs to start some REAL problems for them.

I'm a powerful consumer and will not take much more of Verizon's nonsense.

Until tomorrow
