Hello from Belgium
Hi there!
My name is Julie, and i'm a girl from Belgium. In school we all have to make a dish. In my dish i have to work with we call in Belgium brickdeeg , i guess in english that means brickpaste. So i have to fill this up with a sort of puree. The problem is that when the dish is ready i always got the feeling that the brickpaste rules the dish. Got any tips?
Thanks allot! Hope you understand what i mean!
Love, Julie

Re: Hello from Belgium
I must say I have not really used 'brickdeeg' in a dish but I have heard about it.
Brickdeeg was introduced from Noth Afrika. It looks like phyllo pastry but is less brittle and breakable. You can buy it in round slices, ready made.
I think by picking a stuffing that has a good taste of its own might prefent the pastry to rule the dish. Basicly you can fill the 'brickdeeg' with a lot of variations. I found a few nice looking recepies for you on the net, that you might want to try.
And you can also use the dough to wrap spiced srawns in, seal the dough by using egg yellow and fry them in a wok.... serve with a nice Thai chilli sauce...
Hope this will help you some more

Fantastic. China, Canada reach quick deals on oil, uranium
posted at 11:35 am on February 9, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
Last month we discussed the rather alarming news that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was planning a trip to China to discuss possible natural resources deals with the economic superpower. It seemed no coincidence that the trip was announced close on the heels of Barack Obama's decision to kick the can down the road on the Keystone XL pipeline yet again. But at that time, I retained some hope that perhaps this was just a warning siren to Obama which would remind him that Canada had plenty of other options should we decide not to do business with them.
Apparently Harper hasn't cared much for what he's been hearing out of Washington and found a very willing ear across the Pacific because it seems that some deals have been struck already.
China and Canada declared Thursday that bilateral relations have reached "a new level" following a series of multibillion-dollar trade and business agreements to ship additional Canadian petroleum, uranium and other products to the Asian superpower.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Chinese leadership said Thursday the economic co-operation agreements — and billions of dollars in new private-sector deals — signed by the two countries over the past few days are unprecedented and will open the door to additional trade and investment.
Harper announced Thursday, following meetings with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Vice-Premier Li Keqiang, that the countries have struck an agreement that will allow Canadian uranium companies to "substantially increase exports to China."
"We expect to see similar success stories in Canadian energy exports to China, once infrastructure is in place."
Harper has said building pipelines to the West Coast — such as the proposed Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline and a separate one for liquefied natural gas — is a national priority as Canada looks to ship its vast resources to Asia.
This just gets better and better, doesn't it? Not only do we have to keep an eye on the Canadians building a shorter pipeline to their western coast to ship all of their oil overseas, but now they're going to aggressively up the ante on delivering uranium to the Chinese. Oh, I know… you probably think I'm being an old worry wort, right? I mean, China would only use the fuel for peaceful, energy production purposes and would never "lose track" of any of it, right?
Yet again we see that elections matter, and decisions coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. can have both immediate and long term effects not only here at home, but across the oceans as well. Harper's deals wont be finalized until the Canadian legislature approves them, but they would be foolish indeed to turn it down with no assurances of a market in the U.S. There was never any doubt that Canada would pursue their own best economic and national interests and find a buyer for their resources. It was only a question of who would strike the right deal. And – again – I do not place any blame on Harper for this. He has to look out for Canada's interests first, not ours. The fault here lies with the White House for playing politics with such a critical issue.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), National Public Radio (NPR) and Harvard School of Public Health recently set out to understand parents' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about childhood obesity and what it takes to raise healthy, active children. The findings were insightful and, in many cases, surprising.
The researchers polled 1,018 randomly selected caregivers of children ages two to 17 years. They asked them questions about daily challenges, perceptions of children's nutrition and activity patterns, family mealtimes, sleep patterns, and cultures and customs around special events.
National Public Radio aired an excellent and detailed eight-part series on the poll results, and we have summarized the five key findings for you here:
This poll highlights what we already know—parents want their kids to eat healthy and be active and it is a daily struggle to actually make that happen. Up against hectic schedules and an environment that promotes unhealthy foods and physical inactivity, parents have a hard time getting their kids to break a sweat and eat their vegetables.
By making a few changes in their parenting approach, parents can take the stress out of mealtimes and the endless struggle to raise healthy, active kids. Parents who practice authoritative parenting—ensuring basic structure and rules are in place, but allowing a child an opportunity to make decisions and choices—raise healthier kids. When it comes to healthy eating, parents decide what food is available for meals and snacks and when it is offered, and the child gets to decide what to eat and how much. The parent gives the child choices and options, but the child is allowed to exert some control and make decisions. This can be applied to physical activity as well—a parent decides when it is time for activity and for how long, while the child gets to choose what type of activity to do. Ultimately, this balance helps children to learn to like healthy foods and fun physical activities.
Here are a few ideas for how to put authoritative parenting into practice in your home and overcome some of the barriers to raising healthier kids identified in this poll:
Natalie Digate Muth, MD, MPH, RD, FAAP is the Senior Advisor for Healthcare Solutions for the American Council on Exercise, a board-certified pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a Diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics, and ACE Certified Health Coach. She is the author of "Eat Your Vegetables and Other Mistakes Parents Make: Redefining How to Raise Healthy Eaters" and the textbook "Sports Nutrition for Health Professionals."

Late-Night Noshing
See where Crystal heads when she's on the hunt for late-night eats.
It's 2 a.m. You've spent the last three-plus hours out at the bar(s) and the only thing better than your bed right now is that greasy grub, located conveniently around the corner from wherever you will pass out in about 20 minutes and counting. It's also that time of night where getting your food fix now means avoiding a painful migraine when you wake up. Nobody—and no line—is going to get in the way of you getting your hands on that late-night something. We've all been there.
Now, I've never professed to being the ultimate foodie, but when it comes to chowing down before I finally crawl into bed, I definitely have my go-to spots that I like to hit up around Chicago—whether I'm flying solo at that point in the a.m. or not. Below is a round-up of my local favorites so that the next time you find yourself in the Windy City craving good, cheap eats in the middle of the night, you have a plan.
The Boss Bar in River North (left) is a favorite watering hole with great bar food on the cheap, anytime of day. I swear by their deep-fried jalapeno peppers and onion rings. It may or may not also have been the site of my birthday pre-gaming last year. (Jamo shots are my middle name!)
Tempo on State Street is a popular brunch spot and crazy-hard to get into before noon. But go in the middle of the night and you'll sail right in. The 24-hour BYOB diner is known for their omelettes, which are huge and served up in your own personal skillet. And the post-club Gold Coast people-watching is prime. Just make sure to keep some bills on you because it's cash only.
There are a ton of Irish pubs in the city, but Dublin's in the heart of Chicago's Viagra Triangle takes the cake. Their baked brie with apples is gooey goodness on a plate (unexpected, I know) and will leave you in a food coma—the good kind. Despite the flat screens and crowds, the pub's cozy dive feel is always welcome after a long night of drinking, dancing and the occasional debauchery.
When I'm looking for something on the healthier-ish side, I opt for the salads at Bijon's on State and Erie. Their ranch dressing should be illegal. If you're not counting calories, go for the spin-artichoke dip or chocolate soufflé. Beware of the slightly scene-y atmosphere. (Kim Kardashian is known to frequent the place when in town.) Open till 4 a.m.
Last but not least: Wiener's Circle. Open till 5:30 a.m. on the weekends, this iconic Lincoln Park joint is the definitive spot for a late-night dog, whether you're a tourist or local food snob. As a vegetarian, I can't personally attest to this one, but any tour guide or Food Network fan can. Note to newbies: The staff behind the counter is paid to insult customers, end of story. (For the seriously sensitive, get your wiener fix at the Dog Joint on Armitage.) A heads-up that ordering a chocolate shake is not what you think it is. Order cautiously.
I could tell you how vulgar the waitstaff is, but you really have to see it to believe it. Watch Dave Attell get up close and personal (really personal) with the ladies of Wiener's Circle and see for yourself.
Unlike L.A. or Manhattan, most people wouldn't classify Chicago as one of the craziest party cities in the country. The average closing time is closer to 2 a.m. than 4 a.m. and you're not gonna find 99¢ pizza on every other corner. But every time I go out here—be it a low-key night or one documented with pics and video—I'm reminded of why I love this city. The down-to-earth locals, the unassuming nightlife and all the late-night eateries that help prevent mean hangovers the following morning.
What after-hours spots do you frequent in your hometown? Send me a tweet or leave me a comment below. Until next week, TGI-almost-F!

Nearly 60 tons removed
Ukiah Daily Journal
Work seems to be continuing at a steady pace at the Palace Hotel as debris is being hauled away and plans for condominiums and hotel rooms are materializing, the Ukiah City Council heard Wednesday.
"It's my understanding that the phase one removal has been completed," said Planning Director Charley Stump, referring to the clean-up plan approved by city officials and the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District. "The owners are moving forward with phase two, which I understand has not been approved."
"It is now a renovation more than anything else," said Eladia Laines, the building's owner, who gives the council a monthly update on her progress to abate the former hotel's city code violations and possibly rehabilitate the structure as the council considers whether to have the city take over that process.
"In May there was 9.7 tons, in June 19.7 tons, and in July there was 30.4 tons of debris removed," said Laines, explaining that the drywall and other debris was removed mostly from the restaurant and bar area, as well as the space planned for a museum, after being sorted and recycled.
She said regular testing is also being conducted by her CAC -- certified asbestos consultant -- who has prepared a written plan for Phase Two, which "we're waiting to be approved."
Laines said intern Christine Emerson from the architecture firm Richard Ruff and Associates has been helping with plans for the building.
"We're conceptualizing the layouts for the condominiums," Emerson said, adding that 20 to 25 condo units and 10 to 15 "boutique hotel" units are envisioned. "I'm also mapping out the locations of the building's beams and columns" to help a seismic engineer prepare plans for seismic upgrades.
"I'm happy that we've overcome the hurdle of the first phase being cleared out," Council member Mary Anne Landis said. "It was enlightening when (Mayor Doug) Crane and I visited last week and could see more of the inside.
"My main question at this time is about the roof -- what's being prepared for the winter?" Landis continued.
"The roofer has already been there," Laines said, and Landis pressed for details about a work proposal or contract.
"What I'm interested in is a contract, when it would be signed off on, and when it would start," Landis said, and contractor Norm Hudson said the roofer was expected to "come by this week" with a proposal, and "he's ready to start next week."
When Landis asked if there was "funding for that," Laines indicated there was.
Vice-Mayor Phil Baldwin guessed there would be a need for more parking once the condominiums and hotel are ready, and asked Laines "what's the parking plan?"
"We will probably be submitting a plan for that," she said.
The council then voted to delay action on a resolution that would allow the city's Public Works Department to take over abatement of the building.

For now they gotta believe us, for now they gotta believe us, for now they gotta believe ussss... For we have won the cup!!!
After their 3-2 victory over Boo IF, the Colorado Rush are champions of the GU15 age group at the Gothia Cup. Rush's Brittney Stark started the scoring off early in the first half, when she pounced on a loose ball in the box, and buried it in the back of the net. Boo answered back with a goal of their own a few minutes later. A nifty combination at the top of the box freed up a Boo striker who slotted her shot under a diving Sabrina Macias to level the score at 1's. Brittney Stark gave Rush the lead again when she followed up Gabbi Miranda's blast from 25 yards out. Stark completed her hat trick just before half. Kerri Marquadt got on the end of a Ashely Mages' cross and hit the cross bar with her shot. Stark was there to clean up the rebound as she headed it in from close range.
The second half saw a few good chances from both sides. Boo hit the cross bar from a long range shot midway through the second half. In the final minute, Boo converted a pk on a questionable foul in the box. Rush killed off the final minute of the game and came away with a 3-2 victory sending the players and fans into a frenzy!
Brittney Stark was selected MVP of the match after scoring three goals.
"Oh When the Rush," could be heard throughout the city, as the girls were taken away from the stadium on a convertible bus and driven all around town.
Coach Wes Hart had this to say after the game, "The atmosphere was awesome. Great stadium. Live TV. Replays on jumbo tron. It was cool! After the game, they paraded us around the city in a convertible bus and we did all the Rush chants throughout the city. All the people on the streets would cheer for us as we went by. Random people would come up and ask for photos of the girls. They were treated like pros!"
Picture of the game, the celebration, and players' comment will be available soon.
Rush Girls Headed to Gothia Cup Final
After 9 games, 500 minutes, 47 goals for, and 0 against, the Rush girls are headed to the Finals of the Gothia Cup! After a dramatic last second goal to launch them into the Semi Finals, the Rush defeated Ifo Bromolla IF to secure their place in Saturday's Final. Betsy Brandon got Rush on the board when she calmly slotted a left footed shot past the Bromolla gk. Early in the second half, Rush's Kayla Latham finished a Jordan Di Biasi cross from close range, to make it 2-0. It was Latham's first goal of the tournament. She was the last Rush player to score a goal (all 16 players have now scored) and it could not have come at a better time. Rush's third goal was acutally put in by a Bromolla defender, after a hard run through the box by Brittney Stark. Ashely Mages finished the scoring off, when she converted a Betsy Brandon cross of of a short corner. Rush's defense, anchored by captain Julia Thurston, was stingy once again, as they allowed very few chances on goal.
Rush will face Boo FF (Sweden) in the Final, which will kick off at 11 am (3 am MST).

Speaking of Jason Verrett, did anybody catch his performance against Oklahoma? He was sensational and i could easily see him over taking Roby as top CB in this class, even at his size , if he keeps playing like he has this entire season. Hes freaking fantastic!
I'd be estatic if we ended up with Javadeon Clowney and got another 1st, and snatched up Jason Verrett. Wow, that would be killer 1st rd. Now all of a sudden you got chips on defense to build with. JPP, Clowney, Verrett, Prince, Hankins..etc
Like Max Bullogh better than Mosely
Mel Kiper just predicted the Giants would draft Mosley at 12. Although I don't think that makes sense if we're keeping Beason. But that's what he just said on the radio.
Source: Kevin Weidl on TwitterScouts Inc.'s Kevin Weidl called Alabama senior LB C.J. Mosley a "flat out stud."
Mosley has "ELITE instincts and eyes," Wedil tweeted. "Vastly improved taking on blocks in tight quarters this year. Definition of alpha." Mosley did not attend the Senior Bowl, but he has transformed his game in the last two years, moving from a coverage based player to an all-around monster. Our own Josh Norris has compared him to Sean Lee.
I don't know all the ragging about Beason. He is still a leader as evidenced by his leadership role with the giants this year even after coming here partially into the season - that says something, while he was not the player he was, he certainly still plays at a high level and hopefully we resign him at the right price.
With that said, Mosley is certainly a good football player and pretty athletic, he is not top 10 and nowhere near Clowney. When GMs say he's the best prospect in 25 to 30 years, they're only saying that as a nod to LT and Bruce Smith. He might be the best defensive prospect ever but since he hadn't done anything yet and it's hard to compare his potential to the careers of two of the most disruptive defensive players I history who changed their positions in Smith and LT, they says best defensive prospect in 25 years.
So you're either insane or have been crushing up a Smarties and smoking them in your bong if you honk Mosley is greater than Mosely. He'll, Borland might turn out to be a better Mike than Mosley because he has that crazy football IQ like Kuechly. Mayock, who is arguably one of the best draft gurus out there, not like that *****hat Kiper, has high praise for Borland.
you don't pick Mosely, when you can get Van Noy, Shazier, Borland, or ask of I'm the 2nd or 3rd. Period.
Mosley has a bad medical history. He'll, he might fall out of the first round after he combine, Adrian Hubbard was considered top 25 in the look ahead to 2014 big board last year. Now Hubbard might be a fifth rounder,

text: I thought that there was some kind of deduction for a flutz. A flutz is really just a flip. It certainly would make sense to downgrade the combo from a 3lz/3T to a 3F/3T and then tack on the -GOE is a penalty for cheating the jump. From what I saw with Adelina, she was definitely cheating the jump and the edge call should have been made by the Tech panel. If the panel doesn't make an edge call, then it's to the judges to score it the way they see it (which is why Adelina got a -1 GOE and a zero from two judges who clearly did not think the jump was up to snuff -but since the edge call wasn't made, couldn't deduct anything. Does this sound right?

Bruins enjoy 'special' visit to Newtown, Conn.
|02.19.13 at 8:14 am ET
Seven Bruins players and coach Claude Julien were among the team's representatives during a Monday visit to Newtown, Conn., where they spent some time with locals who still are mourning the loss of 20 children and six school staff killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December.
"That was pretty special," Bruins Foundation director Bob Sweeney said during a Tuesday morning conversation with Dennis & Callahan.
Added Sweeney: "It was a full day, and something that I know every one of us enjoyed. And more importantly, the thing that really amazed me is how many people thanked us for being there, which was pretty amazing."
About 600 locals showed up to a fieldhouse in town to meet Bruins Chris Bourque, Andrew Ference, Dougie Hamilton, Daniel Paille, Adam McQuaid, Rich Peverly and Tyler Seguin. Earlier in the day, Sweeney and fellow former Bruin Tom Songin brought the Stanley Cup and skated with the town's high school hockey team.
"The community is not just sitting around grieving," Sweeney said. "I'm sure there are some individual families [for] which it's something that you might never get over, losing a young child at such a young age. It's just unthinkable. It's something that none of us ever want to go through. But I think everybody there, from the volunteers, they couldn't have been more appreciative of us coming down and realizing the situation, what had taken place a few months ago."

Craig You don't hear much about buccaneers, raiders or pirates being involved in nautical pursuits since most of these rascals live in Tampa Bay, Oakland and Pittsburgh these days. But as "Captain Phillips" shows us, you can't assume the industry of ship-jacking died out in the 1800s just because their modern equivalents don't wear eye patches and carry parrots on their shoulders.

"Captain Phillips," rated PG-13
Rating: 3 out of 4 stars
Running time: 134 minutes
Starring: Tom Hanks, Catherine Keener, Michael Chernus and Barkhad Abdi
Now playing at Wildhorse Stadium Cinemas.
In April 2009, as the U.S. cargo ship Maersk Alabama embarks on its route from Oman to Kenya, the danger of piracy in the Indian Ocean around the Horn of Africa is almost unavoidable. But with the proper precautions, Capt. Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) is reasonably certain his vessel will make it into port on time and shipshape.
Still, there's no such thing as being 100 percent safe.
When a group of hijackers begin following them in the water, Phillips and his men do everything possible to keep the small band of Somalis from boarding the much larger boat. But try as they might, the American crew can't prevent the pirates from getting on the deck of the Alabama.
Phillips attempts to keep the situation from resulting in injury or death by placating the intruders' demands in order to get them off his ship as quickly as possible. Their leader (Barkhad Abdi) has bigger plans in mind, though, taking the captain hostage and fleeing in the lifeboat, setting the stage for a standoff with the full force of the U.S. government.
Hanks goes heavy on the Boston accent, enough that the regulars at Fenway Park would call him out on its authenticity but not so much that it overshadows the nature of his character, a mariner who, for all his experience and preparation, never has seen anything quite like this before.
Just think — one minute, you're emailing your wife that all is well on the high seas and the next, a horde of heavily armed Africans in a skiff leave you wondering whether you'll ever see your loved ones again.
Novice actor Abdi brings complexity to a young man, purportedly a teenager during the real-life events, whose desperate actions are easy to vilify, yet you can't condemn him altogether. Known to his comrades only as "Skinny," the version of Abduwali Abdukhadir Muse of the silver screen who keeps a cooler head than his friends and chews khat leaves the same deliberate way Humphrey Bogart smoked a cigarette is about as close a depiction of a modern-day pirate as we could get. Here's a guy who doesn't need an act. He's ready to risk his entire life for a good haul or a ransom because it's not a job he's doing just for the fun of it.
Phillips refers to Muse as "Captain" just to humor him, and Muse returns the favor by calling his captive "Irish," but beyond the nicknames, there's a quick sense of understanding between these two captains, official or not. Both live in a world that's severely lacking in humanity, demanding more and more from them with less and less reciprocation.
Phillips' conversation with his wife (Catherine Keener) at the beginning of the movie, wondering how their kids will be affected by the economic downturn seems superfluous, but in fact, it really gives us a look at how one man has the luxury of worrying if a college degree will go as far as it used to while the other man with whom he will cross paths wakes up on the other side of the world with no food in his stomach and being screamed at by warlords.
And that's on a good day.
Director Paul Greengrass cuts down his standard shaky camera style enough that you won't need Dramamine to watch his latest movie. Adapted from Phillips' account of the Maersk Alabama's ordeals, "A Captain's Duty," Greengrass and screenwriter Billy Ray bring out the tension of the crisis that caused Americans to say, "Wait, pirates still exist?" in a way that feels serviceable though hardly masterful.
In the end, it's the juxtaposition between Hanks and Abdi that keeps "Captain Phillips" afloat. If you watched enough CNN in spring 2009, you already know the details, but the human element involved in recent events is something much harder to convey.
Plus, what with Jack Sparrow forever changing their image, pirates could stand to be feared again.

thanx for the heads up....man that deal for 620 is hard to pass up...too bad you say no.
Don't use him. I made that mistakeOriginally Posted by gassaway
thanx for the heads up....man that deal for 620 is hard to pass up...too bad you say no.
may I ask what is so bad about 30calmachinegunner's stuff? i mean its alot cheaper
Maybe, you'll have better luck than I did.
There is nothing wrong with his machine work, the problem I had was, he lost one of my parts, and would not make good on it.
These are the parts that need to be machined.
The plunger and plunger spring were in the lock plate when I sent it to him.
When I got it back, the plunger spring was in the box, but no plunger.
When I asked him about it, he said he would send me one.
He then sent me a trigger pin. I contacted him again, reiterated that it was the plunger pin, not the trigger pin that was missing.
I offered to return the trigger pin to him, and asked him to send me a plunger.
He then cops an attitude, and says I'm full of it and I never sent him my plunger in the first place.
This was not a case of I think I sent it or maybe, I am 100% positive it was in there, as I inventoried it carefully before I shipped it, also evidenced by the fact that he returned the spring.
The plunger holds the spring in.
I had to chase around and find a new plunger, which I finally found.
Here's what it looks like installed
hmm well I'll have to think about it, his deal is good, and I'm a college student, so cheap is my middle name
Oh this is sweet. Now I've got my proof.
Read the last few posts in this thread.
Somebody ended up with my plunger, the one He says I never sent.
I'm sorry you had a mix up but it seems everyone else had good dealings with him, i think your deal may have just been the needle in the haystack....any chance I could get his email from you, sorry to go against your word, but money talks and his is the best deal i can find.....
Sure, it's email@example.com
No sweat, I would never try to dictate who buys what from whom, I'm just relaying my experience.
I hope you have better luck.

Landlords paying big $$$$$ to push 98 out & 99 in
Original post made by Pleasanton RENTER, Vineyard Avenue, on May 16, 2008
California RENTERS need to be aware: Proposition 98 and Proposition 99
Issues with Prop 98: it will ELIMINATE Rent Control...completely. It will also WIPE OUT basic protection for ALL RENTERS and the Eminent Domain Provisions are extremely flawed.
STATE RECORDS SHOW that apartment and mobile home park landlords ARE PAYING MILLIONS to get this on the ballot. Another 10K was paid on MAY 15th. That is most likely why it is not on the November ballot. They figure fewer voters will turn out in June.
Issues with Prop 99: it was written to kill Prop 98 and Controls use of Eminent Domain – helps protect your private property and home.
READ THESE 2 Props CAREFULLY!
We sincerely hope that our City Council will back us. Check out the web link below to see lists of those backing our side of these propositions. The other option - HUNDREDS of homeless in Pleasanton. I don't want to be homeless. Neither do my neighbors. We MUST help one another. We MUST fight back! Vote! Vote! Vote! Tell your friends & neighbors too,
Vote: NO on 98
Vote: YES on 99

Can these Prop 98 and 99 topics be consolidated into the pre-existing ones? There's now like 5 different topics on this. Posters should use the existing threads instead of starting new ones.

on May 17, 2008 at 8:56 pm
We could, but it gets buried, and we want people to be aware of this proposition, and remember vote no on 98 yes on 99.
I can bet you there will be other topic on this also...if you don't like it just scroll down....

Would I be right in guessing that you own your home and do not rent...correct? We need you to help us...we need you to see our plight. We need you to care.
While every CA renter will be part of this, I live in a senior park. We are scared for ourselves and for our neighbors. Many here are retired and on social security. Some have been living here many years and get very little each month. If they REMOVE rent control, there may well be many new homeless people in Pleasanton. We don't want to be, but the rents will go up and we are stretched now.
Now can you see why we are concerned? Perhaps if there are several blogs, they will show several views, giving people a chance to understand just how UNFAIR and downright CONFUSING Prop 98 & 99 really are.
Notice in the Living (Real Estate Section) of this weeks Pleasanton Weekly the article on the CA Association of Realtors by Jeb Bing. The realtors are the 'other side' of these Propositions. THEY are LANDLORDS. Of course they want Props 98 & 99 to go the other way. Why??? $$$$$ in their pockets!
I hope you will read up on 98-99, see for yourself and vote with your heart. Keep the renters in mind.
We are young adults wanting to stay in CA near home.
We are parents that cannot afford to buy a home.
We are grandparents, downsizing as we retire and need to live on SS.
We are your neighbors.
We are real.
More detailed info at: Web Link
Part of the reason I started a new post...I find all caps hard to read and distracting.
To all who support us, by voting June 3rd with: No on 98 - Yes on 99
We thank you!

Bravo Sharon, nicely put.
I too hope the City Council will support us in this manner, and all those who have friends, relatives that are being put in this situation.
When these landowners bought these properties that were considered "rent controlled", they knew what they were getting. If they didn't want to be apart of the rent controlled ordinances then they should of bought elsewhere! Sadly, its all about the mighty dollar...or lack of these days...

I don't think there's a list any where, I never seen one.
Guys have shoerten standard tubes to length they wanted, for the hand gaurd retainer they find the spot welds on the front one and move it back, then reweld it and shorten the hand gaurd to fit.
What about taking the "star" off the M92 piston? I never compared mine to a standard piston so I don't know what else is different.
If turning down the barrel isn't an issue, can you make a piston?
Or how about taking a full length piston, cut the head end off, then cut the shaft to length and weld it back together. If welding is an issue, cut the head off then drill/bore into the head and press the shaft in.

Az ingatlan értékelései
Lisa made us very welcome at 11.pm, the flat is spaceous and delightful, comfortable bed, good kitchen and a well stocked fridge with butter, jams and milk, a few minutes from a bus to fredericksberg station where we could take a metro to the centre and eventually to the airport. It is the best stay of its kind we have experienced.
We spent a gorgeus stay in Lisa apartment.
The location i sperfect, near the city center with good and easy conections by public tranpsort, The area is quiet and very silent.
The flat is full of sun and light.
Lisa let us much things in the kitchen for our use, and she was ver kind and helpfull.
Copenhagen worth much and longer visits.
Thanks for the warm welcome as well as for the oerfect service. Everything was fine. We enjoyed our time.
Thank you Lisa for your hospitality, the flat is nice and has a good location: quiet neighbourhood but great access by public transport. I also appreciated your good communication via email, didn't have to call by phone which I hate. We already knew about the bad working shower so it was not a surprise.
We had a very good stay for two nights in Lisa's Apartment. The flat has a cosy atmosphere and is located close to the centre of Copenhagen. The rooms are suitable for three people and all what you need for living is in there. The bathroom is small, but good enough.
Lisa was very helpful with everything including tips for Copenhagen. The communciation was good from the beginning. We would book again if we ever come back to Copenhagen for vacation.
Lisa was very helpful. The appartment was close to the bus stop so travelling was easy. The nearby park was perfect for jogging or for watching the sunset.
great flat with nice view and a very good double bed in the bedroom, Lisa is very friendly and uncomplicated and a great help, the shower has very little water pressure (Lisa told us so in advance...)
We stayed at Lisa's apartment for one night and enjoyed the experience. The apartment is quite spacious and has great views from the windows and a nice kitchen. It's located in a good neighbourhood with grocery shops nearby and is close to Carlsberg Museum and Copenhagen Zoo. The city centre isn't far away either. Our only gripe was that the shower didn't work properly - that trickle of water never went whoosh! Oh and the stairs were a bit of a steep climb, especially with lots of luggage, but as Lisa said 'it's good for the bum'! Thank you Lisa.

Faith in Action volunteer reaches 27,000-mile mark
Volunteer drivers for Faith in Action for Cass County are a dedicated group of people. More than 100 Faith in Action volunteers log thousands of miles each year.
One volunteer, Lorraine Enos of Hackensack, has driven more than 27,000 miles in the five and a half years she has been a volunteer driver, going above and beyond the call of duty in service to others.
"I love meeting new people," Enos said. "This is the best 'job' I've ever had."
Faith in Action volunteer drivers provide transportation to the clinic, grocery store, food shelf, church or medical appointments, occasionally as far away as Fargo, N.D., St. Cloud or Duluth.
"The miles covered give volunteers plenty of time to enjoy conversation and friendship many of our care receivers need," said Theresa Eclov, Faith in Action director. "It's a win-win for everyone."
Faith in Action volunteers also help out closer to home with friendly visits and respite, phone reassurance, meal delivery or assistance with housework or chores, or small home repairs.
Consider volunteering with Faith in Action for Cass County to meet new people, get to know your neighbors better and be an integral part of your community. Your assistance could go a long way toward helping someone stay in their home.
Since everyone has different talents and amounts of time to help others, volunteering with Faith in Action is tailored toward your time. You can choose to help with chores, friendly visiting (men and women), transportation, light housekeeping or respite.
Help is especially needed at this time of year with friendly visiting and homemaking assistance.
Contact Faith in Action at 218-675-5435 or visit the website at www.faithinactioncass.com for more information or about volunteering.

2nd-graders' comments on the inauguration show they'll be ready to lead
Original post made by Jeb Bing, editor of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Jan 23, 2009
A bright, personable second-year teacher, who is a product of Pleasanton schools, Vernon represents the new generation of community leaders President Barack Obama talked about in his inaugural address, which Ms. V's kids watched. Then she engaged them in a discussion about what they heard, saw and thought, assembling the 20 youngsters in a community circle to share their feelings.
Their responses brought home the fact that not only was it history in the making for all of us on Tuesday but that these second-grade students showed that they really understood the significance of what we experienced together, as well as their role in the future.
She typed up a brief synopsis and sent it home to the parents as a packet on Obama and the inauguration so that they could further discuss it with their child. According to Ms. V's report, the second-graders' feelings on the inauguration were:
* Good because it is teaching me a lot of things.
* Happy because Obama is the first African-American president.
* Happy for Obama because he gets to move into the White House.
* Ecstatic because Obama is going to be a good president and it is the dawning of 4 or 8 years of light.
* Ecstatic because we have a brand new president.
* Happy because he may help us get out of this recession.
* Good because Obama is a responsible person that will take care of our country.
* Brave and proud because we have a new president.
* Curious if Obama will stop the war or keep it going.
* Nervous because I don't know if he will stop the war but happy because I think he will.
* Happy because it was the first time seeing the inauguration.
Particularly relevant was Obama's comment that "children are our future," and what he meant by that. Several of the students answered:
* As we get older, we can try to make better choices.
* We are little now and when we get older we can change the world and the way things are with our choices.
* When we get older, others will pass away, so it's us kids that can change the world.
* We know what has happened when we are children so we know what not to do as we get older.
Bill Radulovich, who is the principal at Walnut Grove, a California Distinguished and National Blue Ribbon school, sent me Renee Vernon's summary, saying she is a wonderful example of the generation that sits on the historical continuum, midway between older folks and the kids. That this happened in a second-grade classroom speaks to the magic that can be produced when a masterful teacher marries relevant, timely content with engaging methodology.
"It elevates the cognitive processes that make our species so unique," Radulovich told me.
It also demonstrates how bright our future may be if we teach our children well.

Since you all are so concerned about giving the Messiah Obama enough visibility to your students, I hope you will also please educate them on how he will "change" this nation's economic foundation from that which has made us great...namely free-enterprise and capitalism to his preferred way of "socialism."
Now that I mention it, teachers please educate yourselves on "socialism" and how it deprives the human spirit of motivation, innovation, hard work and yes, reduces private sector jobs significantly.
Ronald Reagan inherited a much worse economy and unemployment rate, thanks to the Carter years, and Reagan turned the US economy around very very quickly by reducing government interference and regulation...just the opposite of what Obama has in store for the US.
Teachers, are you spending one-tenth of your time teaching about Reagan compared to how much time you are spending on Obama?
Think about it.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
I don't know what the knicks are doing tonight, but it certainly isn't playing basketball.. I mean, some of the stuff they do, even in WINS is mindboggling annoying... U would think they'd be smart enough to stop doing some of the things, but they show up every game.. And Jason Kidd coulden't throw a beach ball into the ocean these days... My god!
Knicks have missed at least 4dunks tonight alone.. That to me is absoulutley unaceptable.. Add in about a handful or more missed layups and u see why were embaressing ourselves as of now.. I mean, ur playing washington who has no size and ur not even attacking the rim and when u do, ur missing layups and dunks.. THis team needs to grow up, which i don't think will ever happen.. I appreciate the win streak, even though its against next to no one except ATL and MIL at home, but so many chunks of games they don't even seem to resemble trying...
They could win this game still but theres no need to make it quite so difficult against some of these crap teams..
Jesus, we start periods dreadfully! Stoudamire is getting abused inside to these guys in the 4th.. Quite embaressing qter.. Woodson inexplicably changes the lineup that was flat out killing it to end teh 3rd and its been laughable so far...
And yet another missed dunk...lol Holy Cr-ap! Stop trying to bring the backboard down and freaking dunk it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus!
Airball by Jr Smith..lol He Airballed a FT last game and a 3 this game..lol Why he keeps shooting from the side is beyond me.. He barley does it during the course of a yr, but has taken some dreadful ones tongiht from the side..
Carmelo actually ran out to cover a wideopen 3 and instead of putting his arm up, ran to the side of the guy with his arms pinned to his side, not even trying to contest it, and it was swished..llol U can only find that kinda effort in the NBA.. Go figure, the one league that should never happen, being the money they make.. Reminded me alot of All Star game defense...lol
Did any of u see this 4th qter against the mighty wizards??lol Honestly, i've never seen such putrid effort on defense.. They interviewed Magic Johnson and he said he liked the knciks but the start of the yr they were really hunkering down defensivley and since have just lost it, and they gotta get it back if they want to be legit... I honestly don't think a Melo lead team can hunker down on defense long enough to win it all, but i pray i'm wrong!
haha, embaressing performance! This teams gonna lose alot more games.. There not gonna get cupcake central like they have the last 6.. If they don't want to lose alot more games, they better stop being lazy on the defensive end.. They can even be better on offense, to be honest... When they move the ball, there unstoppable on offense...
I've never believed in Fixed basketball, but listen to this.. The knicks team over was 97 which is pretty low for them, so i'd imagine tons of people took it.. I knew to stay away becuase i felt something shady was in store.. Anyhow, the knicks conviently missed about 5dunks and another 5layups and there last 3or4 possesions, they missed 2dreadful FT's, any one would of pushed the Team over, and Melo did something wierd on a drive that i still don't know what u call it, and then Melo got what looked to be fouled and the refs called a Travel..lol
Now, if that dosen't seem shady, then i dont know what does.. And the funny part is, Vegas had the line at 97 and it ended up 96..lol Absoulutley impossible for vegas to know that would happen against a team the knicks beat 10straight times...
i doubt our own players were point shaving... the refs? maybe, but not our players. i think the line was like that because the wizards are actually a good defensive team. they said during the broadcast that they're like 8th or something in opponent fg percentage.
this was a really bad game. we started off horrible as always (stat needs to start, get kidd on the bench)
scrubs on the wizards that are normally poor shooters couldn't miss. chandler played lazy again.
it was a weird game of runs, we started off bad and fell down 11, then we went on a good run and got a decent lead, then fell behind again... we fell down like 9 in the third and then went on a run and were up 5... went into the 4th up 3 points. we're the best 4th quarter team in point differential but not this game. they started the quarter with a 4 point play lol.
just one of those games. there are definitely some concerning trends going on. i think a lot of it is us just not getting up for bad teams, especially on the road. hopefully we win the next few games before the all start break.

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: The Beginning-United States-2006
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman
Screenplay by Sheldon Turner
Story by Sheldon Turner and David J. Schow
If The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning were a comic book the front cover would prominently feature in bold, bloody red letters HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME! THE ORIGIN OF LEATHERFACE!! The film is the cinematic companion to the 2003 remake and to be honest I feel that it raises the bar a little higher. Of course the story is the same; 2 young couples on the road trip of road trips run headlong into hell and the Hewitt family. This time out the main damsel in distress is Jordana Brewster. Stepping up to the plate and looking every bit as sexy as Jessica Biel did in the remake, Ms. Brewster is sent through the usual shit that scream queens are put through in a Texas Chainsaw movie. Rounding out the travelers are Matt Bomer, Taylor Handley and Diora Baird. On the Hewitt side of the family we are formally introduced to Thomas and Uncle Charlie. You know them better as Sheriff Hoyt and Leatherface. Andrew Bryniarski once again steps into the apron of Leatherface. He may not be Gunnar Hansen, but he's still pretty damn intimidating. R. Lee Ermey plays the same part he's played in most films he's starred in; that of a loudmouth authority figure whose sole purpose in life is to make yours a living, breathing, bloody hell. Oh, and as an extra added bonus we get to see how Monty becomes a double amputee. Good times, kids, good times.
All in all, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is in my humble and twisted opinion a worthy sequel to what I felt was a worthy remake of a classic horror film. It's not going to make you forget the original, but I don't think it's really trying to in the first place.

We've sure got lurkers-most if not all are Govt scumbags!
I know we have lurkers. Half the time I am one, just because I am to lazy to sign in. We don't have members that won't post, just because someone might get mad do we? I talked to girl that was a member of trapshooters.com, she would read it, but she was afraid to write anything.
We've sure got lurkers-most if not all are Govt scumbags!
We don't bite - heck the so called "lurkers" should just post. Maybe there would be some interesting conversations.
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."
Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
Watch what you ask for. Remember BigTins.
I am guilty of lurking as well.
You could lable it voyerism, but most of the time I just don't have a need to argue or show how intelligent I am. Which I are not.
Plus, if I were to make a shitload of responses just to have an impressive post count I wouldn't be helping the community here. Time will take care of my post count, and experience gained from the board will allow me to help someone in the future.
What was that old poem again? About the "wise old bird"? The less he spoke, the more he heard.
If you spend most of your time broadcasting you have little time receiving.
This is my only defense.
I am thick skinned, so it didn't bother me. I was gone for a few years and couldn't remember my log in, so I started all over. The third time I posted something some snot called me a Troll and said I shouldn't give my opinions until I had posted more. Now you wonder why you have lurkers and not posters, especially with the young people?
I know what you mean. I have been known to lamdaste asshats that stomp on new people.
Some instances I've really expected a PM or two from mods, but haven't yet. Asshat'n hasn't happened on this board yet. Well, maybe once or twice.
The ak forum and gunco are my recreation. Thst's mostly because I see that the regulars are more willing to nurture rather than use any excuse to "rub" their own ego by making someone else feel foolish.
3dited to add...
post count +2 :>
Like I said master b 427, I am thick skinned, and I don't care what you are.
USMCE4retired. You are correct. When I first got on 1biggun and colokrink helped me a lot on the AK forum.

The Destination
Combine Southern hospitality, a bit of Spanish flair, and an ideal location in the midst of the swanky hot spots and posh boutiques of Midtown/Downtown Atlanta and you have the Meliá Atlanta, where views of the city's skyline bathe Georgia's capital in an irresistibly trendy light.
The Digs
With panoramic views of the city skyline, Meliá's guest rooms feature cozy linens and high-speed Internet. Those staying on The Level will receive access to private areas, the hotel's best views, flat-screen televisions, and a continental breakfast served in The Level Lounge. When the temperature rises in this chic Southern city, the property's rooftop pool blossoms into a happening party scene. Here, guests can enjoy a chilled margarita by day or a glass of champagne at night—all while marveling at Atlanta's shimmering skyscrapers.
The Diversions
"Straddling Midtown and downtown, Meliá puts you in a good position for exploring the city," says Frommer's. "Rooms facing up Peachtree offer a magnificent view of the city, the Georgia Aquarium, and the World of Coca-Cola. You can also walk across the street and belly up to the "whaddya have?" counter at the Varsity for a world-famous chili dog."
And just three blocks from Meliá, The Fox Theatre, built in 1929, features a number of fine arts events throughout the year, from ballet to Broadway productions, film, music, and more. Take a newsworthy tour of the CNN Studio or wind through a maze of quirky thrift stores in Little Five Points. Later, pack a picnic before strolling to the nearby Piedmont Park. Created in the late 19th century, the 189-acre park is home to the Atlanta Botanical Garden and is brimming with gorgeous green space.
"Just across I-75 from Georgia Tech, Melia is a good base if you're in town to see the Yellow Jackets play. In the meantime, you can enjoy a great drink in the lobby bar and get a good night's sleep in one of the comfortable guest rooms."-- Frommer's

Wow! Beautiful blocks! Thanks for the pictures.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wow! Beautiful blocks! Thanks for the pictures.
pewa88... wow!! while scrolling down I had to do a double take - many of the fabrics you used are the same as mine and I just took some similar pictures with my phone [sorry cant transfer now] and was thinking I didnt remember posting them!
I think what you are saying is the blocks are 5" unfinished as the pattern is also. The pattern calls for cutting the sashing 1" - with 1/4" seams at either side, this leaves 1/2" finished sashing. For those trying a QAYG [quilt as you go] this works out such that when you have quilted, either a block or section of blocks, and you add the blocks/sections together, you dont necessarily need to add batting under the seam you are joining because the seam allowances should buttress against each other perfectly. Having said that, some have chosen a slightly wider sashing -always add 1/2" to desired finish for your 1/4" seams..... 3/4" finished, cut at 1 1/4" ....1 1/2" finished, cut at 2".... and so on. If you do decide to make your sashing wider, bear in mind that your triangle spacing will need adjusting as well. You can accomplish this by adding to the sashing surrounding the pieced triangle, or making your plain/printed fabric triangle wider.
Hope this helps!
Got another couple done, camera upstairs, doggy needs walking, dentist appt...will do later
Beautiful blocks pewa88!
'Columbia River Jane' Stickle is the name of my DJ.
It's been a while since I haven't visited this thread. I started my DJ in purples when this thread started and couldn't pick up but it is something I really want to come back to. I don't have a lot of time to quilt but love it and when I don't quilt I feel like I am missing something.
I see beautiful blocks here, your work is inspiring. I will try to make one block this week. If I commit with an attainable goal I might succeed! I hope anyways.
thanks for showing your work. I'll post pics of what I have done to share.
:-( I wish I was a full time quilter!
Andrea (Margate, FL)
Thanks for the encouragement from all. Andrea, I understand how you feel. I am going to try to do a block a week and hold myself accountable. I really want to finish this quilt while my hands are still able to do the stitching, since there is a lot of hand work to do. Yes, there is always hope. I am still debating if I will do the triangles, I really want too; but I have to be real about this. I am busy with all the things that come in the retirement years. So I keep a clear perspective concerning this quilt project.
Hi all - Happy Australia Day - for anyone celebrating! Looking forward to Djokovic v Murray match tomorrow !
Here are my latest blocks/ tri's - the total numbers are now 163 blocks - 40 tri's and 3 corners with 4435 pieces used !!!!!!
E 7, F 11, J1, L12, L13, LS8, LS9, and LS10.
Nice blocks katybob and Gus and welcome to Adnil458, meanmom, leakus and pewa88 - wow your blocks and colours are so nice pewa !
Have had wintery weather here in the UK - so had lots of sewing time.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.
Just wonderful, Dotty! You're way past half-way through. Will you start another when this one's done?
Thanks so much Dotty. I finished 4 blocks this week, yipee! A question for anyone? Are the ones visiting this forum thread now using a schedule for making blocks? I have just been doing blocks in order by rows. At first I planned to do the quilt in 9 sections and do a quilt-as-you-go but that was before reality set in and I will be machine quilting this quilt. I do want to be able to enjoy it before I pass on, Good Lord willing.
Thanks katybob and pewa. If you click onto the first page of this thread and scroll down - the schedule is there !
Pewa - when I made up the schedule, I tried to stay somewhat in a row to row order, heavy on the easy blocks to get us going, then adding the harder ones in red a little later and spreading triangles, easy and difficult ones throughout the rest of the schedule. If you want, do a bunch of the green ones at first - creates a bigger sense of accomplishment to have a larger number under your belt. You will find some tutorials on posts #s: 795 [A1], 229 [A1], 523 [A11], 804 [B11], 752 & 804 [B9], 1014 [C10], 1041-3 [C2], 1044 [C4], 1045 [C5], 1336 [D6], 1337 [D9], 1338 [E3], 1348 [RS11] [These are not all 'green' easy....I just tried to keep track of the numbers that had tutorials]
I forgot to write the numbers of the tutes I just posted recently, but you can find them if you look back just a few pages. If you get stuck on anything - you can post the question here - or you can always send a PM.
Have fun!!!
Here are my next three blocks - I've actually been spending a lot of time laying out and deciding what fabrics to use on some of these. I'm going on quilt retreat Feb 7-10 and intend to get lots done - only taking Jane's baby along!

Proposition 89: hope for democracy
Original post made by Nancy Neff, Midtown, on Oct 23, 2006
Under our current campaign finance system, our purchases of gasoline, pharmaceuticals, insurance, and so on provide profits to companies that can then donate to candidates and ballot initiatives without our permission. (At least union members can opt out of political contributions!) Then we pay again when corporate donations result in industry friendly decisions -- $3.3 billion a year in tax loopholes alone. As a result, the share of California's general fund that comes from corporate taxes has fallen from 15% in 1980 to only 11% today.
Proposition 89 takes 20 cents per $100 of profit from "C" (usually large) corporations to create a Clean Money Fund. In a court-tested system proven to work in Arizona and Maine, qualified candidates may use the fund to run for office taking no private money. Once elected, they are accountable only to the voters. If they are outspent or if independent expenditures are used against them, matching funds make them competitive. The matching funds serve as a deterrent to excessive private spending.
Proposition 89 has closed many campaign finance loopholes with new limits on contributions to candidates from individuals, corporations, unions, and committees. It also limits contributions from corporate treasuries to ballot initiatives. This levels the playing field, since both corporations and unions remain free to spend from PACs.
Our city council is in good company: League of Women Voters, AARP, Ira Ruskin, and over 300 other organizations and political leaders support Proposition 89. If it passes, we have the hope of leaving our children an intact democracy.

I agree with Nancy. Proposition 89 will help mend the current campaign finance rules that benefit major campaign contributors at the expense of ordinary citizens. Prop 89 will also expand the pool of candidates for office and allow elected officials to respond to the will of their constituents, not just the special interest groups who have helped elect them.

Can either of you name a campaign finance reform that has worked? We've voted for campaign finance reform measures many times in the past and every one of them had loopholes designed to benefit the politicians who put the measure on the ballot. This one is no different.
Here's what Prop. 89 will do, if approved:
• Takes tax funds that could be used on our schools and classrooms and puts them into the hands of political consultants, who will spend them on junk mail. Yeah, I call that a reform!
• Raises taxes on all small businesses. Odds are that one of you two might work for a small business or own one. This measure takes money out of your pocket and gives it to people who make those stomach-turning negative ads on TV.
• It won't stop wealthy candidates, and that's what you guys hate, right? Some billionaire like Al Checci, Ross Perot or Richard Blum (Dianne Feinstein's husband) buying a political office. Whoops, I didn't mean to put Blum on that list. Oh well, what Prop. 89 says is that if a self-financed candidate runs, the opponent will be given an equal amount to what the rich guy is spending -- up to $200 million. To put $200 million, that's enough money to run PAUSD for 18-20 months.
Prop. 89 doesn't level the playing field. It loots the public treasury, giving money to political consultants (Republican ones too) while putting small businesses, labor and non-profits at a disadvantage in campaigns.
If you really favor free speech, vote NO on 89

When were union members given the right to opt out of political contributions, as Nancy Neff claimed above?

I agree that we have not yet had successful campaign finance reform in California. Does that mean we should give up?
Proposition 89 is on the ballot precisely beacuse it is a true reform. The core of it was in AB 583, which passed the Assembly but not the Senate, but if passed would have been weaker than Proposition 89 which contains tough penalties including jail time for breaking the law.
Clean Money public financing has been working in Maine and Arizona for three election cycles. More candidates every year--over half in 2004--use the system, and are able to spend their time talking to voters and doing their jobs instead of raising money. In Arizona the number of races won by the candidate who spent the most money went from 79% in 1998 down to 2% in 2002. You can learn more by watching "The Road to Clean Elections" at www.89now.org.
As far as small businesses go, many of them are either not incorporated, are "S" corps, or are not turning a profit. Prop 89 will increase their voice in government, because they can't compete with the millions spent by large corporations.
As Dan Walters pointed out in a column on Monday, political donations are an excellent investment for industry. They will be an excellent investment for voters too. At a cost of a fraction of a percent of the budget, we can regain control of the other 99% of the budget.
Public financing addresses the issue of wealthy candidates in the only way allowed by the Supreme Court: by providing funds to the publicly funded candidate. Matching funds (up to five times the baseline, or four times for governor) are triggered if he/she is outspent by the privately funded candidate. Matching funds are also provided if independent expenditures are made against the Clean Money candidate and serve to put brakes on spending. Whenever both or all candidates in a race are using the Clean Money fund, spending is limited to the baseline amount only.
Proposition 89 attempts to address every existing loophole that can legally be addressed. If it turns out to need tweaking, there is a provision for that too. Please vote yes on 89.

The right of union members to opt out of political contributions has been affirmed in a number of Supreme Court decisions relating to the National Labor Relations Act. Check with your union for the procedure.
