I want to be able to grow my own vanilla beans at home because I know how expensive they are. I don't have much experience in growing plants, but I have grown things before. I know how sensitive to climate the plant is but I don't have a green house.Any tips? I live in the valley in California.|||In a nutshell:
Unless you are an experienced orchid grower with a greenhouse with lots of room, no. They really are a tropical orchid and a large vining one at that. You can get cuttings for the plant cheaply on ebay, but it's just not worth the the time and effort. Get your beans from Penzeys Spices and not from the grocer or some specialty shop, you'll get better and cheaper beans from them.|||Here's how to grow them: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0ge鈥?/a>
This is how you process the beans for use: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=process鈥?/a>|||composting will help you. It will make your plants grow healthier.|||Yes you can
I have heard that there is a california state home insurance program that you can get the cheapest property insurance, Does anybody know what it is called and how can i get a quote?|||LOL
I think you're talking about the California FAIR plan, and ANY insurance agent licensed to sell property insurance in your state, can give you a quote.
It's CHEAPEST, because it has very, very, very limited coverage.|||Try this you are automatically enrolled in the HOme Advantage Program.

We are visiting Disneyland and in a couple of weeks. We want to purchase the tickets and book the daily tours beforehand, for 5 day Disneyland park hopper pass, Universal Studios deluxe front of the line tour and San Diego Zoo tour.
What is the best way of doing it. Which website or tour company have the best California Theme Park Discounts and Deals?
Thank you for your help!|||Universal Studios: Seaworld and Universal Studios are owned by the same people cheapest way to get both buy the yearly passes (I know it sorta sucks)
San Diego Zoo: The tickets are pretty cheap if you live in SD buy the membership I have it and I love it is afordable and we get discounts on food and shops.
Disneyland: If you are a SoCal resident GO TO ALBERTSONS!!! The deal is go to one park each day for 2,3,5 or 7 days. I think that is a terrible deal however you can get coupons and deals on the hotels at Albertsons (Entertainment Books always have good deals too.)

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, and was considering requesting a transfer from my work at UPS in Saskatchewan to California.
However, I am not aware of the current economic conditions in California. In Saskatchewan they are very good right now, with very few effects from the recession.
So, is California an okay place to move to right now then?|||By normal non-governmental accounting standards, the state is insolvent.|||California is on life support - and they have only themselves to blame! If you like high taxes, high prices, and having the tax dollar you worked hard for going to support folks who are less work oriented than you are, come on down. If you are Gay, come on down; California loves you. You won't even need to legally immigrate: California loves illegals. And no, I don't live there: but I have several acquaintances that do.|||Nope, Texas and North Carolina are doing way better. California government spent way too much and are taxing way too much
Has the California state budget been revised to allow more money for teachers' salaries and to hault budget cuts for the education system? Surely education of children is more important than bailing our homeowners who were too "uneducated" to read their mortgages?|||I hope not. It is time to stop the greedy leftist teachers and their union. They are failing our students anyway. Give the teachers an F and expel them from school.|||I live in SC. No, the budget has not been revised as of yet. There are tremendous cuts in teacher's pay as well as the quality of education for our children. The class size reduction act is currently suspended in many districts which means there will be larger classes with less help for the teachers. Surely education IS more important, but unfortunately, any time there is a budget crisis what happens is that they take the money from those who cannot speak for themselves in protest - the children! It is up to the parents to protest this and make a change. I've written my elected officials - have you?????|||Thank the greedy Liberal infested teachers unions for spending money everywhere EXCEPT where it needs to be spent. They are useless to the teachers. All they care about is getting more money year after year, and California will give it to them.
California is also drowning in illegal immigrant benefit costs, along with the resultant school over crowding....higher taxes to help cover that are on the way.
California is nothing more than a comedy of errors on the government side.
We need a real Republican government to get things back to some kind of fiscal normalcy here.
Diversity only gets us exactly what we have now.|||California's problems related to educating droves of anchor babies begot by illegal aliens, droves so large that the state needs to build one school a day, illegal aliens who are not paying the taxes which support the educational system is probably the very last thing on my list of concerns.
I do have a suggestion though, how about a tortilla tax?
What are the degree requirements to teach in California? Do you have to get your Masters within a few years like NY or can you get by on a Bachelor's Degree?|||To teach in Elementary School (multiple subject, self-contained classrooms) you must have at least a BA/BS in any subject, with a credential. To teach a single subject (High School, etc.) you need a BA or BS in that subject and a credential. It would be best if you contact the State of California through http://www.ctc.ca.gov/default.html . That is the State Credentialing Office. They have all the answers. You do not need a Masters to teach in California in K-12 education, and you usually only get $1000 extra per year for it. Good Luck.
My partner plead guilty to a misdemeanor marijuana paraphernalia possession charge in North Dakota recently. Being a California resident, he returned home after the trial. Now, here in California, he has a legal medical cannabis recommendation, but the judge chose to ignore that fact and sentenced him to a drug test as well as a fine.
He's supposed to take this drug test by December 15th, but we haven't gotten any official communication from them and we have no idea how or where it's supposed to happen.
My question is this. How exactly is this going to be enforced? Is North Dakota going to send someone out here? Are they going to force him to go back there just for one single pee test after a first misdemeanor conviction with a previously clean record?
There were no actual drugs found. It wasn't even proven that the pipe contained cannabis residue. They denied him a lawyer and he plead guilty in panic just wanting to get home. (We're working on contacting the ND Public Defender's office about that part; please just answer the question about the drug test.)
Thank you in advance for your time. Personal experiences in this regard (that is, other people who have been convicted for a drug-related misdemeanor in a state other than their own) would be deeply appreciated.|||1) "Medical marijuana" in California means nothing in North Dakota. You have to obey the laws of the state you're in, not the ones of the state you're from.
2) "Medical marijuana" does NOT legalize marijuana even in California. Marijuana is illegal everywhere in the US.
3) A misdemeanor warrant in one state will not likely result in an extradition to another state. However, an arrest will be waiting for him when he returns.|||ND doesn't care about CA. Apples and potatoes.|||CONTACT A LAWYER.
You tell a disjointed story, no details.
Par 1. Pleaded guilty, sentenced to drug test and fine. Left SD. (California medical cannabis recommendation irrelevant)
Par. 2. SD Court Order == Test by 15 Dec 08. Does SD know present address? Did SD court order test at a particular address?
Par 3. My idea == If no test by 15 Dec 2008, a warrant will be issued in SD for your partner. Return to SD, partner could be arrested.
If warrant sent to CA, partner could be arrested and returned to SD. If bond is high enough, bond agents could retrieve partner, but not likely.
Get A Lawyer in CA. A lawyer can get all this cleared up with a few properly addressed and worded letters.
After the guilty plea, the details are unimportant. Your partner has to follow the SD court instructions.
I've been on unemployment since August, and have not been able to find employment. My first extension is approaching at the end of January. I know the unemployment in California has been extended, but I don't know what the maximum amount of time is that I can collect benefits.
I'm not planning on staying on unemployment for the entire time but I didn't realize that it would be so difficult finding a job.|||up to a year

Because i'm running away in a while and i need to know to know how much i would have to spend on gas.
Does anybody know how many miles away california is from washington?|||2800 miles|||Where in California - CA is 900 miles long and over 200 miles wide. When you have that answer go to google, click maps, and put in the from/to cities.|||go to mapquest.com|||Depending on where you go, it's about 2800 miles (~140 gallons of gas in the average car, or about $400 worth of gas).
It'd be cheaper just to stay home and spend $350 fixing whatever's wrong...|||Washington DC ?? Or is a city in WA State?
And what city in CA are you talking about?
Do you want the distance by roads (driving distance) or flying distance?
I can use my Encarta Atlas > the flying distance...
Is it because California has a lot of blacks and Mexicans?|||Sadly, keeping people in chains is a business.... It's an economic issue; just like slavery then, slavery now....|||Earlier this year, three federal judges ruled that prison overcrowding prevents inmates from getting adequate medical and mental health care. They ordered California to reduce its prison population by 44,000 inmates.Over the summer, the Schwarzenegger administration submitted a plan that would reduce the number of prison inmates by half that number.
The judges said the plan was inadequate and vague. They tossed it out, and ordered the state to submit a new plan that will meet their goal of 44,000 fewer inmates. The judges also want a specific time line for meeting that goal.
The Schwarzenegger Administration has said it will comply, but it鈥檚 refused to disclose details of its new prison population reduction plan in advance.
The federal judges have warned that if the new plan isn鈥檛 good enough, they鈥檒l devise one of their own 鈥?and force California to put it to work
Apparently one of them came up with a solution *L*L|||1. They got rid of the death penalty.
2. They're arresting too damn many potheads who are taking up cells they could be jamming with murderers and rapists.
3. California attracts a criminal element.
4. California breeds a criminal element.
There's four good reasons right there.|||It is a combination of things. Primarily, it is due to having such high taxes and squandering the proceeds. That leaves nothing left to build more prison space. Add in the fact that the State Constitution limits prison crowding. And what do you get?
More criminals + more convictions + no additional prison space + Constitutional requirement = early release.
*|||Thie release of the 46,000 prisoners hasn't happened yet. CA has two years before that happens. Yes, they do have a large number of illegals and they do have a three strikes law in force. It is a complicated issue but overall a frightening one for the people who have to deal with a mass release of felons. Yikes!!!!!|||Wasn't that an accident, someone made an "error" and ended up releasing some of the more violent offenders and not the low-risk offenders?
Typical liberal government workers - lazy and stupid.|||They didn't, really....but mass releases of prisoners has long been a GOP tradition in California, dating back to the days when Reagan was Governor there...|||you can thank society for creating the largest prison population in a democratic society. I hope they all get out and exact revenge ten fold.|||i understand that illegal immigrants comprise well over 50% of the inmates in many of the CA prisons.|||Mandatory sentencing and a Three Strikes Law, both of which affect white people, there, Buford.|||Because a lot of peple are in prison for having a little pot.|||3 strikes and you are has done its job.|||I hear they have a lot of Californians. That's probably its biggest problem.

I want to move in california to go to pharmacy schools. But I want to go to a school that there is a lot of fun things to do and it's not far away from the city. Because when it comes to moving I like to move to a place that I can enjoy myself shopping, party, meeting friendly people. I would appreciate if I could get some feedback.|||UCLA is a good choice. Also, USC would be a good one. However, pharmacy school is pretty tough so there's probably not going to be a ton of extra time for partying, shopping, etc. If you think these things might be a distraction from you studies perhaps you should choose a place with less of these things. Just a suggestion though.|||UCLA is in Los Angeles, and there's also UC San Diego (smaller city than LA). I'm sure there are colleges in the greater San Francisco area too.
My parents are planning a trip to Spain and they want to know how long its going to take from California to Spain?|||California to NYC or Atlanta: 5+ hours.

In So.Cal, the weather is still nice and warm but not too hot and there are tons of things to enjoy besides the beach. Of course there's all the fun in LA but about 2 hours south in San Diego and there are so many fun things to do like going to SeaWorld and the famous San Diego Zoo, not to mention all of the amazing museums right next to the Zoo at Balboa Park. Those are all really nice to enjoy without the Southern sun heat of the summer.
There are also some amazing locations to stay at in San Diego and really all around CA (but I like San Diego the best). My family owns a timeshare from reortime.com. They have beautiful locations.

My question is what affect will this have on Oregon where i live. Will the prices go down?|||Note in California the tax per ounce is $50 alone.

And if you know anything at all about marijuana you would know that it is not dangerous at all what so ever. And it DOES NOT make you slow people just BELIEVE it does... and naturally if you honestly believe it then it might take its toll on you. Keep in miss 3 other stars than California isn't the only state with a proposition to legalize marijuana!|||heres how it works...
now this is a BASIC representation of what is expected to happen...
1. prop 19 passes in CALIFORNIA
2. AMERICANS begin to cultivate AMERICAN marijuana in AMERICA, legally.
3. Mexicans who are still trying to smuggle marijuana still want top dollar... while,
4. AMERICAN legal marijuana is legally grown and sold throughout CA.
it is expected that the price of an OZ of good high quality indoor/outdoor will be roughly $40-$50 within California.
now i'm no genius but i cant imagine paying 400 an OZ anywhere else if thats the case in california... it just doesn't add up... so that being said...
i'd expect an OZ in your area SHOULD prop19 PASS to be around $70-$80. just wait until a few weeks after Cali goes Leal before you expect to see any type of change.

What factors led to the destruction of California Indians during the Spanish colonial period?
What factors led to the further destruction of California Indians during the Gold Rush and early statehood?
What part did cultural disruption play in the destruction of California Indians?|||One reason is that the Spanish brought with them several diseases such as the flu that although were common and not life threathening for Europeans, the Indians' defense systems in their body were not used to such diseases because they never existed in North America. This lead to several of them dying from these diseases.|||Genocide (not disease) would be the main factor. There are still Native people in California.

I would really like to move to California, but I am having second thoughts because of the cost of living. Is it really as bad as everyone says?|||Cost of living is high because California has a lot - San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Mammoth Mountain... mild weather... and tons of things to do. A lot of people want to be in California. higher demand = higher price.|||Cali is nothing compared to cost of living in Tokyo and Paris. Supply and demand is why its so expensive. Gas is extremely low in supply in Cali so they charge a lot, everyone wants to live on the beach so they charge even more, and not to mention the millions and millions of people who go out to LA just hoping to be famous.|||Yes, it really is expensive to live here. There are three main reasons.:
1. We have a tax and spend legislature that is constantly spending on stupid programs and ideas solely designed to keep themselves in office.
2. We have the ballot intuitive process in which ignorant voters keep approving every "pie in the sky" bill placed on the ballot without regard to the total costs involved. (like that stupid "Bullit Train").
3. Supply and demand. "Everyone wants to live here (for some reason) which makes every thing more expensive. It really is NOT like you see portrayed on silly television programs.|||It's expensive because everybody wants to move here. The weather is beautiful and you can snowboard, golf, drive quads in the desert, and go on the beach in one day!
The only reason why people even say California is bad because their $300,000 2,500 sq. ft. homes in the nicest of neighborhoods can barely pay for a REALLY SMALL empty land in CA.|||because $hitloads of people live there and they were hoping by raising the price-- they'd push 'em out-- but their plan(s) have proven futile / created nothing but poverty.
seriously though.. listen to those second thoughts.. i was going to move there a few months ago & was totally disgusted ... i'm glad i visited before moving-- suppose i had this 'saved by the bell' image of cali & it was dashed when i saw all the pollution & trash ..you can see the sick dripping from the freeway signs!! it's run-down big time.
if you move there, you'll be trapped.
think of it like that.|||to live in a decent/safe area yeah it's very pricy compared to the rest of the country. people like it here for the weather mainly but also because there are so many things to do.|||Extremely high cost of living for no apparent reason other than they can do it so they do. The rent for apartments has not come down at all since the whole recession has started. Gas is high, food is high, a lot of traffic and they drive way to fast. I live in California and plan to move away again. There is no reason for the high cost. The electric on my small one bedroom senior living apartment is $100 a month. And I live alone, well not really I do have a cat. Even bus tickets are un real. Movies cost 12 dollars for one person if its a first run or 8 for a second run or bad theatre. Even fresh fruit and vegtables that are grown here are high priced. The price for housing hasn't gone down either. You can rent a room in a semi good area for about 600 a month.
You can't drink the water here so you buy bottled water. The air is so polluted you can see the brown color in the air.
Yes there are beautiful places to see but it hurts your heart to see the damage done by the pollution.|||It sucks stay away. I wish I had left long ago. It is almost criminal what is going on here. The state keeps spending even though they are broke, but the important thing that they have failed to realize is that we are also broke from all the taxes on everything. The laws all suck out here also, too many dam enviro wackos that kill most industry. Don't get me wrong I love nature and have spent the majority of my childhood roaming around the forests but most of the issues are ridiculous that they ***** about. Also the gun laws suck so if you believe that you have a right to protect yourself you should rethink that cause they think that you are too stupid to protect yourself.

Is it like other noise such as weed blowers and hedge trimmers not before 8:00 am or after 10:00 pm?|||Don't know about California law but it seems to me that common courtesy would dictate this answer. If you are the person with a "garage band" and making the noise, being a good neighbor would indicate that you stop the noise at 10 PM or before. Check with your local police department.

There's a lot of theories out there, why not add this one to the mix. Some 1,700 homes lost, last I looked, and all fires are NOT contained so the toll could grow. Deaths were involved.

We are visiting Disneyland in a couple of weeks. We want to purchase the tickets and book the daily tours beforehand, for 5 day Disneyland park hopper pass, Universal Studios deluxe front of the line tour and San Diego Zoo tour.
What is the best way of doing it. Which website or tour company have the best California Theme Park Discounts and Deals?
Thank you for your help!|||I recommend buying the Disneyland tickets from the Disneyland website. They usually offer an online deal that is cheaper than the tickets you can buy in the grocery store or the Disney store, and way cheaper than the tickets they have at the gate at Disneyland.
For the other two, those parks' websites probably have an online deal, too.

I have a small IT business in California and I need to hire independent contractors from time to time. Recently, one of the people I hired for a job went to my customer and told them he would do the same work I do for them, except he would do it cheaper. I've heard that non-compete agreements are illegal in California, so how am I supposed to protect my business?|||Charge less then the independent contractors.|||Quality work at competitive prices. Good old faction competition is good for your customers, so you must compete for their business.
good luck|||As you are working with customers, it's good to educate them as to why you are the absolute best choice for them. When I'm hiring, I don't go for the cheapest thing, because cheapest definitely always isn't the best. I go for the job well done FIRST, then look at competive pricings. I'd shy away from independant contractors for a number of reasons: if they don't pay their taxes, I could be held responsible for it. (Check on that, I'm not 100% sure it's right.) I'm not into taking chances with my money.
If there's an organization you can join that gives good reputation to your name - join it and put their logo on everything you do - invoices, etc. YOU are trustworthy. YOU do great work. YOU are in good standing legally. Any customer who's willing to go with someone who's a thief (like the contractor trying to steal your customer) isn't too smart, in my opinion. But sometimes people need to hear the obvious. If you've got any kind of newsletters - or even, again, if there's room for a good one-liner on your invoices - TELL them why they're SO smart for choosing you! Back that up with good sound work practices and then don't worry about the rest. Stuff is always out there, but like I said, a smart customer wouldn't go with a thief anyway - he wouldn't trust him.
If you haven't done much marketing, do small things to keep clients, like offer special discounts to really good customers thanking them, etc. But you're probably already doing that.
Best of wishes to you. cm
I have recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in International studies with a focus on cultural studies and am interested in moving to california. I've always lived on the east coast, specifically a suburb of Washington D.C. and I'm well aware that I could find a lot of work here in D.C, but I would really like to move out of the area in order to experience a new area and I've always liked California,but the only issue is cost. My aunt lives in Hermosa Beach and I've heard that even there it's over priced, so I'd like to find a place that is not quite extremely expensive, yet I could still find a lot of work in my field of study. It would be great if some CA residence could help on my endeaver. Thanks!|||Honestly, the best places for you to find work in your field is in the San Francisco Bay area or the Los Angeles area.
Unless you want to live in a not-so-nice section of these areas, or someplace far away from work, you will have to pay quite a bit for rent.
I was reading the ballot earlier and it looks like the main reason for legalizing weed was so California, who is a debt can collect tax revenue, but I was wondering if all the smokers now have weed growing in their back yards for free, what tax revenue is there going to be? Not to mention if they outright legalize weed then Prop 215 was an absolute lie. Can't wait for the little kids hanging out in front of 7-11 asking me to buy them a pack of joints. Sounds great.|||Good question. It is true that some people would grow it at home, just like some people grow their own tomatoes. There's nothing stopping people from growing their own tobacco, yet the cigarette companies still seem to do well. People can cook at home, too - yet the restaurant industry has thrived for decades.
The fact is that the vast majority of people will not have the time/knowledge/inclination to grow their own, and will buy it pre-packaged.
I don鈥檛 smoke, but I definitely think it should be legal, provided that it is regulated like alcohol (no minors, and no driving).
It makes absolutely no sense that cannabis is illegal while alcohol and tobacco (both of which are MORE harmful and MORE addictive) are legal.
Legalization would:
- Create thousands of (legal, income-tax paying) jobs
- Devastate drug cartels, which would suddenly be without 75% of their income
- Provide an enormous windfall for the government, which would bring in billions in taxes and SAVE billions more on law enforcement (ending Prohibition played a big part in getting the U.S. out of the Great Depression)
- Allow police, courts and prisons to focus their resources on DANGEROUS criminals, rather than harmless potheads
The more taxes the pot smokers have to pay, the less the rest of us will have to pay - everybody wins!|||Well you can make your own alcohol too... but how many people actually take the time to do that??
Besides, many people don't know how to do it themselves or are too lazy. Plus, to get a good amount of weed that you can pick and smoke takes kind of a lot of time. You have to wait months ones you pick it for it to bud again. Just like any plant really... I mean sure you can grow your own orange and lemon tree, but who really does that?? No one|||Umm...California will not legalize marijuana. So stop wasting your effort. Most potheads tend to not drink, so the alcohol companies will not push for it. The (AMA) American Medical Association does not recommend marijuana over the synthetic medications, which can actually be better for you than smoking marijuana!!! And the conservatives will not give you the time of day!|||The Federal Govt will step in before any such thing happens. The State is whacked out of their heads.|||Right, as if most people are actually going to grow their own. How many people make their own clothes? How many people grow their own food? How many legal citizens work under the table unless they are hiding from child support? How many people lie on their taxes? How many people make their own alcohol?
Are there people who do those things? Sure, there are. But even though those things are all super simple to do, few people actually do it. Marijuana is the same way. Obviously there are people growing it right now for free. But most of the people using it arent - they are buying it from someone else. And most people, will go buy it from a store where it is taxed if it were legal because its convenient. Every other product on the market proves that. There isnt a single thing available in the stores that people cant make themselves, or go to someone else who can make it themselves and sell it without taxes and/or illegally. But walmart is still pulling in those profits, including the sales tax on every thing that goes directly to the state.
I disagree that out right legalizing marijuana makes prop 215 a lie. Marijuana can be and IS used for medical purposes. Legalizing it for everyone is no different than any of these pharmaceutical companies releasing rx meds to be over the counter after their patent has expired. Check zyrtec out. It used to be one of the most expensive prescription allergy meds available by rx only, and without a generic... 6 months after the patent ran out, they bring it out over the counter at a fraction of the price.
I live in California and grow fruits/vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants. I would like to grow everything on a larger scale and start selling at the farmers market. But I need to become a certified farmer to do that, so what kind of criteria must be met, and how would I start the process?|||You become a certified farmer by having the county agricultural commissioner come and inspect your land and see that you are, in fact, growing the crops that you claim yourself. Then you will receive a certificate with these crops, expected yields and seasons. This allows you to participate in certified farmer's markets with only the crops listed.
organic certification is different.
So, bottom-line: CALL YOUR COUNTY AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER and set up an appointment to have your ground inspected.|||If you are looking to be certified organic then there is a process the USDA puts forward...
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/Organic鈥?/a>
If you are looking to join an organized farmers market, then you need to contact the group in charge to see what you need to do to apply to be a vendor. Some of them have you declare your varieties and methods and get on a waiting list to be able to sell at their market.|||LOL, "medicinal plants", yea right.|||you can not.
It takes a two/third vote of the California Legislature to pass a budget. Every year the minority party blocks passing the budget for political reasons. Many Californians suffer. California is one of only 4 or 5 states in the U.S. that requires a two/thirds vote. How do we change this? |||You are absolutely correct. The 2/3 requirement to pass a state budget is one of the many ways the state has made it so difficult to pass a budget or to balance the budget. Another major problem is Proposition 13--a whole other story. It would take an amendment to the constitution, through an initiative approved by the voters, to change the 2/3 vote requirement.|||the law is the law. these dolts know that when they take office and if party bickering keeps the budget from getting passed then it is time to withdraw them from getting paid and maybe it is time to do away with a full time body of legislators. to me it is like kids playing ball and the kid that brought the ball decides that the others made him mad so he takes the ball and goes home. one other aspect of this is that each party wants you to stay upset with the other party so that you will always vote the party and not the best person for the job. mr doodles|||California suffers because it wants to be the "sanctuary state" and spends billions it doesn't have on criminal invaders!

Also, would like to know which California court form do I need to file to have a misdemeanor conviction dismissed? Thank you!|||Just in case anybody wants to argue with you: A felony which is punishable as either a felony or a misdemeanor can be reduced to a misdemeanor at ANY time, so long as a state prison sentence was not imposed (even if suspended).

ADD: Since a DUI is not usually a felony, and the question makes no reference to DUI, I have no idea why Miley is discussing a DUI.|||Call an attorney who specializes in DUI cases in your state. Even if you don't hire the attorney, ask him if it's possible to get your specific charge dropped to a misdemeanor. Try to get a clue from him how he would approach that effort in the jurisdiction of your charge.
Sit down with the prosecutor in your case and ask if it can be reduced to a misdemeanor count. Many times you will find a sympathetic prosecutor who will listen to what you have to say and reduce the charge instantly without having to do anything else. You simply then appear in court and listen to the prosecutor tell the judge that he would like to reduce the charge.
Inspect your ticket for errors. Make sure the dates and addresses are all listed correctly on your DUI ticket. If you can find an error in the charge, many times a prosecutor will reduce the ticket down to a misdemeanor if you just continue on with the case.
Apply for and start attending a DUI assistance course. Start attending it before you even go to court. Take documentation of your effort to improve yourself to the prosecutor and tell him that you want to change on your own. They may be sympathetic and drop the charge to a misdemeanor count.
Tell the judge on the day of court that you would like to have the felony count dropped to a misdemeanor in exchange for a larger misdemeanor sentence. Tell him you would like to avoid having a felony on your record. The judge might just go along with your request.|||It doesn't really work the way you think it does...You can have a felony dropped to a misdemeanor and then have it dismissed by filing the paper right after.|||i would just go to your police station or court house and ask the desk clerk about it that way you don't get the wrong answer here and spend allot of time filling out the wrong paper work cuz that would really suck
I have a 12 month lease and my landlord wants to sell the house at the end of the lease. So he is doing all the remodeling, painting, and showing of the house while we are still living in it. It is noisy and very inconvienient and he is offering very little compensation. What kind of rights to I have under California law for a lease agreement and what kind of compensation do you think is reasonable?|||In the absence of an agreement with the tenant, the landlord's rights to enter the unit are very limited. They're all spelled out in California Civil Code 1954. Per the code, the landlord may enter the home (1) in an emergency, (2) to make *necessary* repairs, decorations, alterations & improvements, (3) to show the home to prospective buyers & tenants, provided occupying tenant is given proper advance notice, (4) when the tenant abandons the property.
I hardly think general remodeling & painting is a *necessary* improvement.
You pay the rent, you have a lease. That means you are entitled to *exclusive* possession of the property, with the exceptions noted above. Now, it's probably not a big deal if the landlord can complete all of this remodeling in one afternoon. But, I would affirmatively balk at any project that is going to extend for several days. You do not have any right to compensation if you agree to this remodeling. But, you do have a right to compensation, and in some cases the right to rescind the lease & sue for breach of lease damages against the landlord, if the landlord proceeds with this remodeling and occupies the home without your approval.|||CA law does not provide for compensation unless you are required to move out of the unit during the remodeling. Compensation is pro-rated rent for the number of days you could not inhabit the unit.
Other then that the only laws effecting this as your local construction laws regarding hours, most only allow work from 7 am to 7 pm. but your city may vary slightly.|||He does not have to compensate you for the noise. He is entitled to show the house any time. If you don't like the circumstances you should move and you should get your security back. You can make this a constructive eviction. Your compensation is that you can leave without getting charged for breaking the lease.

I'm planning to runaway to california from bergen county, new jersey. anyone have any advice? other than not to do it.|||definitely go west|||Depends on how old you are.
I live in California and I want to runaway :/
It's a good idea to leave whatever state you're at though,
because it's harder to get caught.
If you're 16 or older, it's easier to get a job than it is as someone 15 and younger. However, you'd need a work permit signed by the school district you attend, and that might be difficult to get. So my best advice is, wait a few more months. Get a job during this time where you reside, save your money; and runaway. It might be easier to do this with a friend. I'm going to talk to my friend who's a senior this upcoming year, I'm a junior, and he and I might runaway to Paris together. Or somewhere in Europe. It's easy to stay hidden/"on-the-low" and we could attend school there. We have money saved, but before we runaway, I'm going to get a job and save some more money.
I wish there was a way to talk to you about this, because it's something I really want/need to talk about, but it's difficult bringing it up with people I know (or he knows) because they could rat us out and get us both in more trouble. If you need more advice, just ask me (:

Many states will lose seats because congress is limited to 435 congressional seats. Because California has so many illegals now, they will have about 25% of all the congressmen. California will dominate Washington politics because of this.
What say you?|||Congress is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Each state has 2 Senators, the House is limited to 435. The original idea was to have no more than 30,000 Representatives but even if we expanded this to 50 or 60,000 there would be 5,000 members.
I for one would be willing to give your state 1 representative for every 30,000 illegal immigrants that you take out of our state. I would give you Nancy Pelosi and both of our Senators (Feinstein and Boxer) as a show of good will. Hell I'll let you take those 3 and we can keep the illegals because without them here the illegals don't stand a chance of getting all the freebies that is crippling our state budget.|||They are counted because the 13 colonies wanted as much representation as they could get.

I've been looking into regulations regarding exotic pet ownership in California (genets and fennec foxes to be exact), and none of my searches have turned up anything. So I figured that before I bothered anyone official in my state, I would ask the public. Does anyone know where one could find out this information?|||Hi there...
The state of California states that no one legally possess a any exotic animal as a pet even if they are purchased from a USDA breeder or even with a permit.
Californians cannot even have a pet gerbils! California legislators stated that should the rodents escape or be released that they may begin breeding. The climate of Southern California is similar to the desert habitat of gerbils. Already there are breeding colonies of feral gerbils in California that could impact the environment and harm native species. This essentially is what they are saying that any exotic pets in the state if they accidentally escape will destroy native wildlife and habitat.
California is, if you are an exotic animal collector, probably the worst place to live if you want to have one of these animals as pets.

Northern California, and Southern California? They already seem like different states to me, in almost every single way except government. What do you think would happen?|||Like, literally?
I imagine that it would only occur if there were a massive seismic event. A lot of people would probably die in the resulting bridge collapses, mudslides, and fires.
Then, I'm envisioning your standard "Mad Max" scenario.|||You answered your own question.|||Probable some sort of mini-civil war which would dray the state back together in the end.|||Northern California would be happier about it.
i recently moved from california to new jersey. what are the things I need to do and to know, specifically on taxation.

I realize a lot of it has to do with population density, but other densely populated places like New York and Chicago don't have the same levels of pollution. Anyone know why?
What are the major contributors to pollution in California?|||Actually, the air is cleaner than it was in the 70s due to catalytic converters being required on all cars, a special blend of gasoline which costs more, awareness of air pollution by the public and "spare the air" days push to use public transit, better public transit, higher standards for California by state agencies regulating pollution.
You cannot generalize about a state this size. It has higher CO虏 in valleys where the particulates get stagnant like Los Angeles because of its topography. You get some in the bay area if there is an on-shore air current instead of the normal off-shore which sweeps all the pollution away.
Pollution is less from industry than it is from CO虏 since we have lost so many industries since the 60s. Diesel engines do contribute to air pollution with the huge number of trucks on the main highways moving freight. We dont use trains much to carry freight, which I think we should.|||What's pretty sad about all of that is that the normal winds in this part of the world brings "clean" ocean air over California, while Chicago and NY deal with air that has passed over the Great Plains and industrial Midwest, respectively.
Don't worry, California. Jerry will succeed in driving the rest of the businesses out so that your air will be pristine. You won't have any work and your state will be bankrupt, but your lungs won't suffer.|||Those regulations don't matter, but they could never. You could up the enforcement but then you'd only make the matters worse. Somewhere guys in [pajamas are talking about pumping crap into under the ocean and how they can make lots of money off it.
You still haven't figured it out yet, have you?|||Geography of LA is a big factor. The city is surrounded by mountains all almost every side, with an ocean breeze keeping the air trapped in this bowl. The pollution has no where to go. NY and Chicago are in more flat terrain, so the pollution can dissipate.|||As others have mentioned geography plays a large role and the geography induced pollution issues of SoCal are also common to all of the bowl cities of the West

I just heard Hotel California by the Eagles on the radio and I'm curious to hear everyone's interpretation of what the message of the song is. Would anyone like to break it down for me?|||Some people say it's a reference to a drug rehab center. Some say it's related to the church of Anton LaVey. Don Henley himself was vague when asked the question years ago. Here's a list of commonly told ideas:
(1) The Hotel California is a real hotel located in (pick one) Baja California on the coastal highway between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz or else near Santa Barbara. In other words, the song is a hard look at the modern hospitality industry, which is plagued by guests who "check out any time [they] like" but then "never leave."
(2) The Hotel California is a mental hospital. I see one guy on the Web has identified it as "Camarillo State Hospital in Ventura County between LA and Santa Barbara."
(3) It's about satanism. Isn't everything?
(4) Hotel California is a metaphor for cocaine addiction. See "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave." This comes from the published comments of Glenn Frey, one of the coauthors.
(5) It's about the pitfalls of living in southern California in the 1970s, my interpretation since first listen. Makes perfect sense, and goddammit, who you going to believe, some ignorant rock star or me?
(6) My fave, posted to the Usenet by Thomas Dzubin of Vancouver, British Columbia: "There was this fireworks factory just three blocks from the Hotel California . . . and it blew up! Big tragedy. One of the workers was named Wurn Snell and he was from the town of Colitas in Greece. One of the workers who escaped the explosion talked to another guy . . . I think it was probably Don Henley . . . and Don asked what the guy saw. The worker said, "Wurn Snell of Colitas . . . rising up through the air."|||I think that this song simply refers to Hell, and a man's account of how he got there and what it was like.
The song starts out by telling how he dies...car wreck, something like that.
The woman who is so tempting is sin...thus she shows the way to Hell.

Please provide me with schools that have outstanding curriculum and that focus on all aspects of design such as designing, marketing, and business.

We lived in Utah when our papers were filed. He was ordered to pay child support. Now he's moved to California and the child support department there has received the case. He hasn't worked in a year. Hasn't paid any support in 6 months since his unemployment ended. What will they do to him there? Here in Utah they take away your drivers license first, then put you in jail if it goes over a certain amount. Anyone know?|||No room in the jails here.

Hi, I'd like to know how to become a resident of California. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I want to attend a school in California, MI, and it says to qualify for loans, I have to be a resident of California. How would I become a resident? Do I have to live their for a year??? I hope I dont, and if I do, can I still qualify for the loans if I live there, but havn't been living there for a year? Please help, thanks.|||While there is a California Township in Michigan, my guess is that the "MI" is a misprint, or something, since there is no school there. I guess you are interested in the State of California. If you are under 18, your residence is that of your parents. If you are 18 or over, just living in CA as a student is NOT going to make you a resident for tuition purposes. At a minimum, unless you are married or 24 years old, you will have to prove financial independence from your parents. Check out this site, and be sure to follow the links for further information:
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ad鈥?/a>
However, for other purposes you may be a resident (if 18 or over) if you demonstrate an intent to remain in CA permanently and not return to AZ.
BTW, claiming that you lived in California when you did not would be fraud and/or perjury. I don't recommend it.|||For school purposes you must live about a year in the State to be consider a cAlifornia resident. You might be able to qualify for loans and scholarships as a non-resident of the state, but I do not know if the school is going to charge more fees for not being a resident. So, the loan might not cover the full amount.
Another thing you can do to get the resident status is-if you are not independent- whomever is living with you and supporting you can claim the residency part. For instance, if you are living with your dad in Arizona, but move in with your mom in California, as long as she has been living in CA for at least a year and she supports you, she can request for you to be consider a resident of CA.
Hope it helps.|||Yes you have to live here for a year prior to your date of application to college. If you know someone here you can say you have been living here and use their address, as long as it does not clash with your being in Arizona during that time.
I want to relocate to Santa Barbara California and own a nice home near the beach. Together my spouse and I have the earning potential of just under 200,000 per year and we won't have dependent children at home. I have heard nightmares about the housing market and wondered if purchasing land is possible? What about buying a home near the beach? Should I even entertain the idea of living in Santa Barbara? What about little known affordable surrounding areas that are just as attractive?|||it seems that the california housing market MIGHT be cooling down. if you can wait some(6 months-1 year),it would be to your advantage. santa barbara will never be cheap or even reasonable, & there are parts(montecito for example) that are outrageous. the coast will always be more expensive than inland, but you may be able to do better down in carpinteria or ventura county or up in santa maria(thats a fair piece away!)|||The average house will be more than $1,000,000. That makes a mortgage about $6,000/month depending on your down payment. The housing market is a mess, but depending on how close you want to ive to the beach or downtown SB, you can afford it. Look on the MLS listings, find a realtor with a webpage, and most will have a "payment calculator".
california condor extinction affecting mankind|||First off they are not going extinct. They are increasing from a mear 21 that were captured from the wild and the USFWS started a captive breeding program. There are over 400 now in the world and close to 200 in the wild. There have been close to 25 of the birds born in the wild.
The birds have been headed for extinction for the last 10,000 years and would be gone if the government hadn't stepped in to halt the downward trend. It is an expensive program but the California Condor is the largest flying bird in North America at up to 25 pounds and wingspan of 9 1/2 feet. If the condor went extinct there would not be any significant impact on humans.
I have worked as a volunteer with the USFWS Condor Recovery Program for several years.
You keep assuming that the extinction of the Condor will have a significant impact. The condor is a scavenger and doesn't kill or affect other species, much less humans. There are other scavengers that can fill this nitch. One of which is increasing right now, the black vulture and the turkey vulture and the raven. The condor did very well durning the spanish period of California. They raised large herds of free roam beef from which they mostly only used the tallow (fat) and exported the hides, the meat was to abundant to be consumed and could not be exported so it rotted in the fields and provided a ready and abundant meal for the condors. Although the condor of today do find an occasional meal by themselves, they are being fed by the USFWS using, guess what, aborted fetuses from dairy cattle.|||It's quite possible that if the California Condors really do go extinct, mankind will never notice. In fact, Nature might not even notice. That's the thing, Nature is enough of a web that you can rip apart a piece of thread here-and-there, without really affecting the whole. The threads immediately around will notice, but beyond that, nobody cares.
It's only when you start making major changes, or many minor changes, that real problems begin.
Not that I want to see the bird go extinct. It's a magnificent creature, though absolutely butt-ugly, if you've ever been to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and seen them in person.|||It wont really have a major affect, think about it. We have all this Technology and all that good stuff now so a connection between one species of bird will not have a major impact. Now if all of the same type went extinct, well we might have more carcasses laying around? XD|||there will be 1 less hideous bird to pick at our corpses if we die in the desert.
let's be honest here people. if these birds can't avoid the giant spinning blades of death that are windmills I'm just gonna call that natural selection and consider the world a better place|||people who eat only california condors will likely starve to death
in another words what are california's current and the future plan for the water desalination, and why is it needed in california? im doing a project and i need help. my destination is the Carlsbad water desalination plant. if anyone could help me find a link or something about this subject it will be helpful for me.
and i will be thankful|||The Carlsbad facility will be both the first desalination plant on the US West Coast, and the largest desalination plant in the entire western hemisphere. The problem with all of these reverse osmosis systems is that they require massive amounts of electricity. For instance, the facility in Tampa has its own dedicated coal-fired electrical generation plant immediately adjacent.|||ok so you have the plant, and it looks like someone gave u the link already... so, i will answer the other parts...
you need to have a plan because we are surely going to use up all of our fresh water with the way humans are reproducing. people think that rain is "free and new" water, but its just recycled water, and the more we let insecticides and bleaches etc leak into the fresh water, the more it gets unable for us to use. plus, we put tons of chlorine in the water to keep it safe for us to drink. so, we are making our fresh water "unusable" and we waste tons of water in long showers, brushing our teeth, washing our cars and dogs...etc etc. WE ARE LLLLOOOWW on FRESH water, and nobody knows this.
also... water that we get from places like the colorado river isn't always going to be there, it will soon dry up. have you heard of the salt beds in california? ive seen them... its dried up water... we desparatly need water. Also... the Los Angeles aquaducts have dried up entire lake beds supporting our fresh water needs!! you can use that in your report... im sure you can google that.
it costs a lot to desalinate water. desalination takes a lot of energy, the energy put into taking the salt out, makes us lose profit because water is too cheap- so we would have to hike up the price.( like gas!!) and.. one more thing... we would have sooo much salt left over after doing so, that we would have nowhere to store it... and we already have enough salt to go around the world... we wouldn't need it for eating... there are alot of problems with this. we need to be careful on how much water we use.

Is it as desirable as say southern california?|||It depends on what, exactly, you desire. Southern California is warmer/hotter. NorCal is a major center for technology, banking, and biotech, while SoCal is a major center for the film industry and fashion. Many people in SoCal superficially judge based on physical appearance; many people in NorCal superficially judge based on green living. SoCal has way more people, so there is more traffic. NorCal has slightly better public transportation, including BART and CalTrain. NorCal has redwood forests, SoCal has dessert.|||I wish I knew your age.

Research the early beginnings of the California Asparagus industry. Who were the first people to started to grow Asparagus?|||The earliest recorded information on California states it was first grown in California was in the northern delta in 1852. The market was strictly local until August 1900. On that date, the first trainload of asparagus was sent east.

With the easy and regular availability of canned asparagus, Americans across the country fell under the spell of nature's most perfect vegetable.

I'm about to graduate with a BA in Performing Arts this summer. I would like to move to California, (hopefully San Francisco area) and substitute teach for a while.
What are the requirements? What tests, forms do I need to complete? How long do these steps take? What office do I need to contact?|||You need to get your CA teaching credentials before you can start substitute teaching in San Fran or any other area of California.
Once you have your bachelor's in performing arts you need to begin an approved teacher preparation program approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). All California school districts have different requirements, so make sure you research the specific requirements for the district you want to teach in.
You also need to get classroom teaching experience by being a student teacher and pass both the CBEST and CSET exam. (I think that all California teachers also have to complete a US Constitution Course, but you may have already satisfied this requirement in your undergrad).
After this you can apply for your California teaching credential and start substitute teaching in sunny California! I found this website really helpful:

I went to purchase a o2 sensor for my car and the didn't have the o2 sensor for a car without California emissions. Is there a difference between an 02 sensor for California emissions and an o2 sensor that is not for California emissions? The told me the difference was the length in wires. The sensor is for a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with a Supercharger.|||Most car companys build their cars according to calif emmissions...We have the strictest laws....So when they do this they have all 50 states covered with one system...I think this o2 sensor thing is B.S.|||There might be. In recent years a new type of O2 sensor has appeared. The ones we are used to are now known as narrowband sensors - they are biased to 0.45 volts by the computer and drop to about 0.1 volt when the mixture is lean and rise to about 0.9 when the mixture is rich. The computer chases the mixture back and forth across the crossover point several times a second (7 is good, 4 is not) to keep the average mixture right. The new sensors, called wideband sensors, produce a more linear output. It is possible the California version uses the wideband sensor. The two are not interchangeable.|||Its not the wire length, it is what the o2 is calibrated for that type of engine and how the fuel system is managed by the PCM software, the people at the parts store is asking you if your o2 is a long or short wire, meaning up stream or down stream.
Rotten you have no clue on how a EFI system works, the o2 is used yes for emissions but is also used to help fine tune the fuel management. defiantly not BS|||Internally, no difference. If they're different, ask them to show you both!|||about 50 bucks

I got a speeding ticket in Portland, OR and I have a California driver's license. Oregon does not seem to have a traffic school option ( I called the court and they told me this). When they send this record to CA DMV, does CA DMV give me an option to attend traffic school?
I just don't want this ticket on my clean record.|||Through applicable interstate agreements, OR will report the violation to CA. Unfortunately, traffic school is an option given to people who get tickets in California to avoid a conviction. Even in California it does not eliminate a conviction once that it entered. It will be one point on your record, which may or may not affect your insurance rates.
You might want to double check on the availability of traffic school in OR, perhaps with an OR attorney. I am no expert on OR law, but my brief research shows traffic schools advertising for Multnomah County, where Portland is located, so it does appear to be an option there (including online schools you could complete from California).
http://www.carinsurance.com/kb/content42鈥?/a>|||If the traffic school option is available in the jurisdiction where the alleged violation occurred then you may choose that to address the traffic ticket by going to traffic school. You should contact the court in OR and ask them again if traffic school is an option. Most states do allow traffic school for most infraction. However, for example in California, if you exceed the speed limit by more than 25 mph then you may not be allowed to attend traffic school.
So, contact the court in OR again to make sure that traffic school is not an option for you. Also, most states share driving records so it is likely that you may see the ticket on your California DVM record.|||your misdemeanor traffic offense took place in Oregon and that is where you have to pay the penalty, in this case a traffic fine.
Why would Oregon send your traffic ticket to California? You pay the fine in Oregon and they file the ticket away. The only reason for them to contact California is if you do not pay the fine.|||this is an out of state event that you got caught at. you have to pay the fine and pay for the points thru higher insurance rates til it passes and learn not to be speeding. guess what your record is no longer clean. washing with soap won't work either. you got caught so learn to deal with it like the rest of us. just cause you left the state does not give you the right to speed. learn to drive proper and repect the law!!

So I am moving to California in 2013. And I am driving across the country.No moving vehicles either since I will be 18 and I will not have any furniture to move. About how much money would I need for gas?. I know gas prices can change a lot by then.|||Please stay in Ohio. There is NOTHING for an 18 year old in California. Actually living here is NOT like you see portrayed on stupid television programs. Instead of dreaming about California think about what college you want to attend.
California is one of the MOST expensive states to live in. NO 18 year old can earn enough to survive in California on their own. California currently has the 2d highest unemployment rate if the country, and jobs are almost impossible to find. Even if you were lucky enough to find a job it would probably be a minimum wage job, and you can NOT live in California on that small an income.
To have any chance of a successful move you would need $7,500 -$10,000 cash in hand just to get established, and that would barely last you 2 months. You would also need a job (if you can find one) that pays roughly $3,000 - $3,500 a month. Without a college degree that isn't going to happen because you would be competing with college grads for those jobs.

I'm writing a project for school and this is one of the questions I need to answer. In other words, what things in california helped the eucalyptus tree adapt so well that it became invasive? Hope that made sense.. Thank you!|||Unprotected tree sex.. or the Mexican's snuck it in with them. Either one would explain why there are so many.|||it prospers in moderated humid climate..it likes light soil -sandy soil..and since it is originated from Australia,transplanted,it has no biological enemies,yet..an amazing advantage of this amazing long aged tree,it has a very successful and effective self defense strategy.it has fragile and easy breakable branches,so it doesn't resist to storms and hurricanes ..it just easily surrender and gives up their branches and keeps the trunk that gets to re- flourish over and over....good luck|||eucalyptus tree actually robs lot of water and destroys neighboring other plants, so they should be avoided especially in dry or desert like areas.|||From Australian miners Californians would learn of the huge tree that grew easily in temperate climates with little regard to soil or water. It seemed the perfect crop for construction timber and fuel in the rapidly growing state. The tree that one day would be called "America's largest weed" was the "wonder tree" of 19th century California.
The first successful planting of eucalyptus in California probably occurred in San Francisco. W.C. Walker of the Golden Gate Nursery planted seeds from several species in 1853.
By the 1870s, a eucalyptus boom was in full swing throughout the state. The Australian native was planted on thousands of acres.
"For a person who has some capital and is willing to wait for returns, there is a pretty chance to make a fortune in the growing of gum trees," one California newspaper suggested.
The eucalyptus seemed to offer several paths to fortune. Shipbuilders, who first saw the wood as it was used in Australian ships, were eager to try the timber. Regrettably, they discovered that California blue gum eucalyptus split and curled, unlike the old-growth trees used by Australian shipbuilders.
San Diego joined the eucalyptus boom in the 1880s, mostly as a fuel crop.
"Ranchers in the Poway valley have begun to plant eucalyptus trees on the bare spots on the hillside, not only as a source for fuel but to improve the looks of the region," the San Diego Union reported in February 1881.
In May, the newspaper reported, "The eucalyptus groves planted in the Cajon valley ... are doing very well; the trees grow rapidly in this climate and show great promise as shade trees and sources of wood."
In the mid-1880s, as the railroad crept south from Los Angeles, developers Frank and Warren Kimball planted thousands of blue gums near the Sweetwater River.
If eucalyptuses disappointed as a source for shipbuilders or fuel, experts were happy to suggest additional uses. As extensive tree-planting along San Diego city sidewalks began in the late 1880s, eucalyptus promoters cautioned that "shade and moisture (would) cause malaria." However, they said, "it is well known ... that the blue gum tree (eucalyptus globulus) instead of creating malaria actually destroys it."
The medicinal value of eucalyptus became a popular theme. As early as 1872, the California Pharmaceutical Society predicted products from the tree would "ultimately supersede expensive drugs now in use." Eucalyptus oil extracted from the leaves was touted as an antiseptic and anti-spasmodic and could be used as an expectorant, stimulant and deodorant. It could treat not only malaria but also insomnia, fevers, bladder infections, dysentery, diphtheria, tuberculosis and venereal disease.
But in San Diego, the greatest claim to fame for the eucalyptus was its large-scale production for railroad ties.
In August 1906, the Santa Fe Land Improvement Co., a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railway, bought the 9,000-acre San Dieguito Ranch in north San Diego County.
"The question of lumber for ties is one that is being given a great deal of attention," a company spokesman said. "Experiments have shown that the eucalyptus tree makes first-class ties. ... The work of planting these trees will be commenced without delay."
The company took delivery of 6 million eucalyptus seeds shipped from Australia. In a three-room adobe at the former homestead of Don Juan Maria Osuna, San Diego's first mayor, a team successfully propagated 3 million seedlings. The young trees were set out among the hillsides of the old rancho, now named Rancho Santa Fe.
The eucalyptus railroad tie experiment ended in failure. The soft wood split from the rail spikes and tended to throw the tracks. Santa Fe recouped its investment by subdividing the ranch into hundreds of parcels for country estates. The region soon attracted Hollywood celebrities such as Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Bing Crosby would live for a time at the old Osuna rancho, which he bought in 1932.
In recent years, California's historic enthusiasm for the eucalyptus has cooled. A worldwide study of the tree sponsored by the United Nations in 1955 concluded that in California, eucalyptuses had become useful only as windbreaks in citrus groves. Ecologists have been less kind, calling the tree an invasive pest that kills native vegetation and threatens biodiversity.

What is the average annual income for a California waiter?

A private country club in the S.F. Bay area pays $14.00 per hr. but no tipping is allowed. Bigger cities have more exclusive restaurants, but I do fill in work at the restaurant I manage special events and banquets for, and I average about $150-$200 for a three hour shift. Banquets, my staff usually can take home anywhere from $200-$500 for one event. Long term union employees can make well over $100.000 per year, but it's hard to get your foot in the door to those types of opportunities.

I have read that California and Oregon are tossing this idea around for more tax revenue. Did they ever think people would just grow their own? Its not like pot is hard to grow or something. I personally could care less if pot is legalized or not.|||Allowing pot to be grown and taxed would be the smallest portion of money those states would generate. Law enforcement could actually solve crimes and the prisons would house real criminals, if they stopped wasting time, money and energy to go after pot growers and users. My question is: Why does law enforcement and Legislators believe that Prohibition of drugs would work any better than Prohibition on alcohol did in the 20s and 30's?|||for one, if you want good weed, it is not easy to grow.
second, nobodys gonna sit around and wait 6 or 7 months for the pot leaves to start budding, they'd much rather drive 2 minutes to the local gas station, buy a dub and smoke it on the spot.
thirdd, a lot of the prisoners that got in prison for selling pot in the first place would be released which mean less money coming out of the governments pocket to clothe/feed/bathe them.
and last but not least, the entire population would much rather buy it in stores, because once the government starts growing it in mass amounts, a large amount of really strong good weed would be sold for pretty cheap.|||Are you talking about legalizing the production of it as well? Because "legalize" doesn't mean "without restriction." This is something stoners always forget. I doubt very much that growing it in your backyard would be legal. If you wanted pot, you'd have to buy it from a dispensary, at highly inflated prices. THAT'S how it would help the economy.|||My thought has always been that they should legalize considering a large amount of the American population smoke it for some reason or another. I think in doing so, and taxing it would bring alot of revenue. It would have to be regulated though. People would not be able to just grow their own.|||People who could afford it would probably buy it rather then grow their own. Its easier and cheaper to grow your own vegetables, but most people don't. Its also the number one cash crop in both states, taxing it would create revenues in the billions.|||they want to legalize or decriminalize?

What you need to understand is that the offer in compromise application does not guarantee that it must be approved. You should continue to make payments until the collector from your county make first contact and advisies you that you can stop payment. Learn more about the process from the California Property tax blog at :http://www.californiapropertytax.info/ca鈥?/a>|||Offers/Compromise only has to deal with the IRS.

How is driving in Santa Ana, Anaheim Costa mas and Los Angeles counties in California.
Are there any special rules and regulation one needs to know? What are the dos and dons?|||You want to rent a car. Are you old enough and do you meet the requirements for renting a car? Can you afford the daily rental rate, the insurance and the parking fees that you will have to pay? A hotel will charge at least $15 to park overnight, most places charge as much or more for daily parking, plus gas to drive from one to the other.
The bus/metro/subway system is awesome and costs only a few dollars per day. You will arrive at your destination much quicker than you will if you drive. For example, we recently went by public transportation from Universal Studios to Disneyland. Friends left at the same time and drove. We arrived before they did and it cost us $3 which is far less than it cost them.
If you think that you need to drive, be prepared for very busy highways filled to overflowing. Expect rush hour to be from 6 am to 10 pm. Even at night there is a lot of traffic. Study your map the night before so that you will know where to turn to get to where you are going. You will need to be ready to change lanes quickly to get to off-ramps and you will not have time to watch the traffic and signs so you need to be prepared.|||I would definitely use a GPS. The interchanges can be confusing. If you don't feel comfortable with the speed of the traffic, it's advisable to stay in the lane that is next to the far left lane. This way, the traffic is slower and you don't have to worry as much about traffic merging from the onramps. Good luck and have fun!

Going to California for a tour in Dec. 27-Jan. 2, can you please advise the best places to check out and where to book for more affordable rates? Is it better to book online? We are planning to visit Disneyland, how many days should be allocate for that trip?|||There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of “must sees”. Visit as many as you have time for.:
Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can’t be wrong. #1 Destination. That time is one of the most crowded times of the year, especially Dec 31. (We should know, we go there each year for NYE). Figure 3 days. It is actually cheaper to book online through a travel site or even Disneyland.com, booking "a la carte". Packages actually cost more, and the perks (little tokens) aren't really worth it. Stick with tripadvisor.com or travelocity.com.
Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination.
Even if you don’t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they’re free to visit.
Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood & Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater. The El Capitan theater, right across the street, is where Disney shows their movies. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors.
Olvera Street/Union Station: Olvera Street is the birthplace of LA, and it emphasizes our Mexican heritage. In addition to the Avila Adobe (oldest building in LA), you can eat at some pretty good Mexican Restaurants, do a little shopping, and taste a churro. If you don’t want to go to Tijuana, this is as close as it gets without going there. Union Station has great architecture from a bygone age. Also, you are 2 blocks from Phillippe’s (see below).
Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.
Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you'll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste.
Santa Monica: Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach.
Sunset Boulevard began as a route between the stars' posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the "Sunset Strip" on its way.
Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping "The Price is Right". You might even get in.
Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.
Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It's very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.
Places to eat:
In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.
Pink’s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.
Tommy’s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly & Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.
Canter’s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly & Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.
Phillippe’s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it’s hot.
Tito’s Taco’s: Voted best tacos in LA, even though it’s in Culver City.
The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.
Places to Stay:
Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Holiday Inn Walk of Fame, all near Hollywood and Highland. Another one is the Best Western Sunset Plaza. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios.
Places to Shop:
Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica
The Grove, Los Angeles
Americana @ Brand, Glendale
Beverly Center, Los Angeles
Citadel Outlets, Commerce
Brea Mall, Brea
The Block at Orange, Orange
South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa
Fashion Island, Newport Beach
Santee Alley, Los Angeles

You should try the Sheraton Anaheim Resort or Sheraton Garden-Grove Hotel. They both offer shuttle and are nice hotels. I'd say for Disneyland, if you've never been? Try 3-4 days so you can hit up California Adventure too. And since you're in the area try out Medieval Times and Pirate's Dinner Adventure! Both are great and gives you a show AND delicious dinner. Hope I helped.|||Rates are unlikely to be "affordable" near Disneyland over Christmas - that's the most expensive/popular time of year.

The right to work for peanuts?
I hear a lot of jargon about constitutional law, wherein neither the people nor the Legislature do not have the right to revise or adjust the California State Constitution, which is what Prop 8 does. And the very proposition violates the constitution itself. There is an equal protection clause that causes prop 8 to be in direct contradiction with the constitution. Yes, the courts and legislature do have the power to overturn it because it's not an amendment, it's a revision. And the "will of the people" cannot violate the rights of the minority.
What is the truth?|||Fundamentally Jack is correct - there is no discrimination. Every man has the right to marry any willing woman and vice versa. No man has the right to marry another man. Problem is that homosexuals want the term "marriage" to be changes. It's not a civil rights issue, it's a perception issue, and most people do not want the perception of marriage to be changed to include men-men and women-women.
Frankly I could care less. Morally I could care less. But LEGALLY, there is no discrimination, no violation of rights, and frankly, had Proposition 22 be upheld it probably would have been overturned because it was simply a law. Now that 8 passed, it will be extremely difficult indeed to change the constitution.|||I think that gays and lesbians should be able to marry. It's not like they made themselves homosexual, they are born that way. Report Abuse
|||In California, it is possible for the people to put an amendment in the state constitution by a majority vote. However, if it is a revision instead of an amendment, it needs to be voted on by the legislature, with a 2/3 majority in order to pass. Also there is the issue of the equal protection clause.
The court will be considering these things for the next few months.|||The other answer are correct, I'm not even gonna try and describe it. (Second is by far more correct). However, my thoughts are like yours. With the passage of this, there starts to become a tyranny of the majority over the minority. One reason why I am hopping it gets overturned.
Side note - I hope when the people of the future look back at us, they don't shoot milk from their noses from laughing too hard. (Much like we try not to now about slavery). This shouldn't even be an issue.|||I shall wait and see what the courts say on this as they know the law and I do not. But at this time I sure wouldn't be convinced that the courts will overturn it at all. In fact after the hearing, more people that heard it were more convinced that it will be upheld. So we shall see.|||I thought prop 8 was going to be an amendment to the constitution?|||Gay marriage is a funny issue. While the issue of equal protection is a more than valid point, the same can be said in regards to the establishment clause as well.
Heres a good question. Is marriage a legal matter of the state or a private matter of church? If it is the former, than two consenting adults of legal age should be able to consecrate their relationship in the eyes of the state and receive with it all of the protections, benefits and liabilities that come with being legally married.
However, if marriage is the former, a private and religious matter that is merely officiated by state recognition, than the mandate of the state that marriages which go against religious principle could be viewed as a challenge to the Church's religious freedom, as they are potentially being told by law to accept and tolerate a personal social matter that is against their protected religious teachings.
In actuality, the matter is one of conservative thought versus progressive thought in its purest and most literal form. While those who adhere to the old ways of things and who cherish and protect tradition are wary and even defensive against change and social progress, those who seek it grow deeply bitter at their rivals inability to see things their way. Though right in a civil and social sense, their righteousness is lost when personal morality comes into conflict in others.
Its a funny issue and one that will only be resolved through endless court cases and ACLU actions, but in the end it will be overturned.|||All this talk about the "majority" and the "minority"
this "majority" was 52%. I hardly call that a majority, and probably one of the reasons it is being looked at. And it is literally a PROPOSITION, not an automatic law that is to be put into effect.
It will be overturned because california does not want to deal with lawsuits against the states because the constitution is stripping them of their civil rights. which it is. Prop 8 is a direct violation of civil rights. People do not realize the benefits of marriage. There are over 100 technical and legal differences between a civil union and a marriage. a major one is the fact that a married couple can file their taxes together, which saves them money and in turn benefits the economy. There is nothing in the constitution that states anything about marriage. The only reason people want it to be illegal because people fear the unknown.
I know that many people argue that gay marriage is wrong "because it says so in the bible." well, you cannot base a law off of something in the bible because of separation of church and state.
"But...but....but.. what about the children???" yes i know. this is a typical cliche scare tactic. Instead of teaching kids being gay is wrong and disgusting, we should teach them to embrace it so we can raise a tolerant, peaceful generation. now instead of giving me a thumbs down or trying to report me, actually think about your child, sister, friend, brother, and if they wanted to get married to someone they love and because of people's ignorance, they could not. put yourself in their position.|||The rights of the minority? Yeah i know this country is a democratic republic and America leans more on the republic side but doesn't the majority have a say?
The people have spoken and that is that.
this "minority" if you can give them that title, should respect the vote because the vote is sacred. Would they like it if their opponents would challenge their vote?
i think not!|||Gay rights are unconstitutional and should never have been called a right in the first place, they are just a minority trying to impose their will over the legal rights of Americans.|||The truth is simple: Prop 8 will not be overturned. The state constitution may be revised or clarified as needed by the changing times. That's why there are so many amendments to the federal constitution.
Prop 8 clarified an unspecific section regarding the state's position on marriage by stating a marriage legally recognized by the state is a traditional wedding bond between two individuals of the opposite sex, no more and no less. Now everyone has equal protection under the law, because every individual has the same rights, including homosexuals.
The problem is that homosexuals don't want the same rights, they want extra rights for their group that are specific to their lifestyle choice, something that the people of the state have clearly demonstrated their opposition to in no uncertain terms.
Face facts, the majority of the people feel that homosexual activity is vulgar, inappropriate, and not deserving of the recognition or protection of the state constitution. Normal people don't want homosexuals in our community, teaching our children that homosexuality is perfectly acceptable, or dictating laws to the rest of the state. We have made it clear that we don't mind if you want to keep your lifestyle behind closed doors, but stop trying to the rest of us to accept you with open arms as if you are completely normal, because clearly you are not.
That's the truth.|||Sorry but the 'Will of the People' IS what can revise a State's Constitution.
Look at the facts. The only States that do have Gay Marriage were by Judicial fiat. No voting, no referendums. Liberal Judges found a loophole and Declared that Gay Marriage was legal.
This country is run By the People and For the People.
Look how many States put a referendum on Gay Marriage in the 2004 elections. All voted down Gay Marriage.
Now, if Gays were smart they would ask for Civil Unions. It gives them all the same rights as a conventional couple but doesn't include the word 'Marriage'. You don't hear any complaints about Vermont, do you?
Gays aren't too bright. If they accepted Civil Unions then Gay Marriage would probably come around in 15-20 years. The problem is that they have no patience. Now State Constitutions have a Law that Gays can never Marry. It will be 40 years before Gay Marriages are recognized in those States. Even the Dem Messiah is against Gay Marriage.

I am in the process of purchasing two small businesses in California, the expected combined net revenue should be around $200,000. What would I pay in taxes?|||That depends upon the type of corporation. An S-Corp's income flows directly to your Form 1040 tax return and is taxed as ordinary income. A C-Corp pays its own taxes, and each C-Corp stands on its own as a separate legal entity and is taxed based upon its own income alone.
Without a LOT more details it's not possible to give any kind of meaningful estimate. Would need to know the type of corporation, how much net income for each, and if either is an S-Corp, your other income as well as your filing status, number of dependents if any, and your other tax issues on the table.|||TFTP Report Abuse

If the courts find out that she's illegal, would she be in trouble?|||Why havent you reported your friend??! Do you care about your freedoms?|||If she "has no documents," then it appears that she did not come legally. It is entirely possible that her status would come up in court, depending on what the case is about.
Her child has a right to citizenship in her country of citizenship. It is imperative that she obtain a passport for her child from her country of citizenship. If anything happens, in the court matter or otherwise, that she could be deported, she will need the child's passport from her country to take the child back with her without a visa or any immigration hassles. If she leaves the child behind, abandonment is grounds for termination of parental rights. She would never see her child again.
Since she is in the US illegally, she really needs to take her child back to her own country with her. Regardless of the outcome of her court matter.|||I believe that they do not ask things other then what is actually relevant to the case as long as it has nothing to do with the case they will probably not ask. She should talk to someone to find out how she can go about becoming a citizen or maybe obtaining a new visa.|||Most people who are here illegally came in legally but their visa expired.

The owner of the car lost the title which the car comes from florida. The owner is currently not presently in florida nor california at this time. The car's title needs to be transfered to someone in california where the car currently is.

Heck, the car might not belong to the seller, the car might have a lien on it or it could be stolen? The seller MUST furnish the buyer with a valid title at the time of the sale. They Buyer should never give anyone a plug nickel without first having that title in their hands........................basically|||Cannot be done online. If a Title is lost, you have to apply to the State the Title is from and get that before you can Title it in another State. A Replacement Title must be applied for by the person on the Title and if it had a Lien printed on it, even though that Lien is satisfied or paid off, the application for the Replacement Title has a section that the former Lien Holder must fill out and have notarized also, even though the Lien is paid. Then once the Duplicate Title is received you can go change it over. California you must take it into the DMV, as they will go out to your car and physically check the VIN Number to verify it. This cannot be done online.

We are planning a 2 to 3 week holiday to California (2 adults, 3 kids) and want to visit San Francisco, Yosemite, San Diego, LA and the Grand Canyon. We are happy to drive, but would also like to use trains (but NOT coach tours) and maybe planes. Any ideas, suggestions appreciated.|||For the Grand Canyon and Yosemite you will probably have to drive. For Yosemite, you can take a train to Merced but would have to take a bus into the park. For the Grand Canyon I don't believe there is any rail service nearby so rental car or bus tour would be the only option there. For the SF Bay Area a car really isn't necessary, especially for travel and sight seeing within the city of SF; it's a very dense city and has lots of public transit. Other parts of the Bay Area are accessible by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) or ferry for areas along the bay. To get to Southern CA you can either drive or fly. Driving down I-5 would be fastest but also the most mind numbingly boring option since it's all flat farmland for most of the drive. Highway 101 down the coast is more scenic but slower. Highway 1 is the most scenic since it runs along the water's edge but is also the slowest by far. Amtrak's Coast Starlight train would get you from the Bay Area to LA by train from the Bay Area and is a very nice, scenic train ride. It takes about 14-16 hours though to travel that route but it's nicer than driving and you'll see more than flying. You can also stop along the route and spend a night in places like Monterey or Santa Barbara. But since there is only one daily train in each direction you will have to spend the night if you decide to get off the train and sight see then take the train the next day. You can also take Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner for travel between Downtown LA and San Diego, it's about as fast as driving and even fast when there is heavy traffic. It's the 2nd busiest rail route in the nation and there are numerous trains all day running between the two cities so it's convenient. But if you want to do sight seeing for places in between LA and SD like Disneyland, Orange County, ect.. a rental car might be the better option. And Disneyland is only about 90 minutes from SD. Although Amtrak does have a stop near Disneyland too if you would rather stick with the train.
For travel between SF to LA to SD I would look at Amtrak's website and see if those trains work for you. Yosemite and the Grand Canyon would have to be done by car. Although you might want to fly to Phoenix or Las Vegas then drive to the Grand Canyon b/c it might be a really long drive from Southern CA.|||You might want to fly to each of your main areas and then rent cars to explore the area. It would be difficult to tour California without a car. I would also suggest an Amtrak train ride from San Francisco to Reno/Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is a large, clear lake with a beautiful setting in the Sierra Nevadas.
It's a 3-4 hour car ride from San Francisco to Yosemite, but it is absolutely gorgeous. The huge granite mountains with waterfalls are truly awesome.

The state of California is facing some 14 to 16 billion dollar deficit in its budget. And this will pressure the california educational system, namely, the public universities and the cost of tuition. What can the individuals do (including those who are not a student) to prevent this rise of the costs of education in the upcoming decades?|||Form your own political action committee by using the internet. Learn from Obama's campaign. ORGANIZE and nag the hell out of Schwarzenegger and your representatives in the state senate and assembly. BTW, the deficit is projected at 24 billion by 2010. Schwarzenegger doesn't want to raise taxes on the rich in California that's why he'd rather cut funding for education. The rich in California have proportionately lower taxes than the middle class in California. Arnold is part of the rich class as are his rich celebrity friends. It's time they start paying for all the benefits they are getting by being in California and the U.S. They'd never be this wealthy in any other country with what they do. The middle class in California pays far more taxes in proportion to their individual weath than the rich. Now Arnie wants to increase sales taxes which hurt the middle class and the poor even more. We need a luxury tax in California like they have in Missouri. Tax the Yacht owners, the airplane owners and the multi-house owners in the state in the effect that these things are luxuries. This will increase the opportunities for the middle class and poor in the state while simultaneously producing good working graduates who will in turn keep California prosperous for all.
Calfornia also spends more on building prisons than on education. This has to stop. It's getting way too ridiculous to spend more on a prisoner than we spend on a student in this state. My god, it really sends aloud message as to what our priorities are and it is a very disturbing message.
M.... raising tuition rates on Community Colleges are not the answer. They are already hurting alot. And, the students are struggling to make ends meet as well. My students can barely afford materials. The reason they are at the CC's in the first place is because they can't affort the State schools or Universities. Most of them work full time already and are trying to get an education.
pibzz.... You have no idea what you're talking about. The reality is Higher education support per student is at a 25-year low: an increasing share of the cost for higher education has shifted to parents, as state and local spending for public colleges and universities has dropped. Arnie cut the budget for education at least twice since he has been in office despite the fact that tuition is rising. I suggest your try to research before you write such nonsense. There has also been a hiring freeze for full time faculty at the community college level which severly impairs the quality of education. Education is our greatest asset in a democracy. It should be accessible to all.
Sasha, Schwarzenegger hasn't raised ANY taxes since he's been governor. You absolutely have no idea of what you are talking about. Geesuz Christ. Maybe the city raised their property taxes but that has nothing to do with the State. Arnie hasn't raised any taxes. I dare you to look it up and prove it to me.|||It sounds really harsh. But there are many people in the educational system that are illegal. They need to be stopped because our educational system alone is near failing. I have known many of illegal families that can send their kids to school. Well they need to pay for it.
Also, I think a cost of tuition could raise a bit. At CSUN it costs about 1-2k for a full load. Compared to UC's and private schools that's spare change. CC's are $20 a unit. It is ridiculously cheap. Maybe a raise to $25-30. It is still a great price.
Plus, we don't need to spend more. So, I don't understand how people can vote for the propositions that required spending.|||Outlaw the public employee union - these thugs have bankrupted not only the State, but our children's future.
We spend more on education than any other state, and we are near the bottom in quality.

You can spend all the money in the world on K-12 education, but until we put more money in the classrooms and less in bureaucracy and act responsibly with what we have, the extra money will be for naught.

Our greedy law makers have been scamming tuition's for years. He has no choice. Also, was not the Girly Man that caused this. Was DemocRATS once again. If one wants to go to college, then one must work for it.|||Good question. Reduce the salaries of the administrators. A good cost analysis would help find other "pork" or wasted money. It will take a demand from the California citizens to achieve that.|||Billions of drain comes from illegal aliens

I think california should become a right to work state. What do you think?|||No one should be forced to pay anybody to be able to work.|||No one should be forced to join a union in order to work. Therefore I think all states should be right to work states.
Nancy right to work does not have anything to do with minimum wage it means the ability to work without having to join a union. Minimum wage is a federal law states may make it higher but no state can make it lower.|||For the rest of you that have no idea what the question means...a "right to work" state is one that does not have a minimum wage...you have the "right to work" at any wage. Meaning the employer has the right to determine a BELOW MINIMUM WAGE pay for a job and you get the right to work for slave wages. Yup, I can see how that is really going to improve the economy and job market.|||Of course it should.

Also all the animals there are great and at the zoo the variety of animals are well have fun no matter what.|||If you guys like roller coasters, you could check out Six Flags in L.A. Then there is little places like Boomers in San diego where you could go laser tagging and ride go-karts. You should also check out the beaches in San Diego.

You would think they would learn. Taxes in both states are astronomical and their states are still in deep financial trouble. The NY legislature has been predominantly Democrat for decades now and California has always "enjoyed" the same, with huge majorities for over a decade.
Does that make sense to you?|||I am from NY state and I can think of a few reasons...1) there is a large population on public assistance in the cities here, and these people will always vote for those who will prolong their freebies...2) Much of the upstate cities like Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton, etc, are very blue collar, union-oriented cites, and 3) Many of the older people in these cities still believe that the Democrats are for the blue collar working man (although they are not anymore).
If you were to ever look at a political map of NY you would notice that most of the counties vote Republican, except for NYC and a few of the larger cities...basically, NYC dictates what happens for the entire state...in a true to life version of "tyranny of the majority".
This state sucks and I hope to get out someday.
@ g - Come to Buffalo or Syracuse or Binghamton or Jamestown or Elmira someday and see how "high" the standard of living is in these places...it is pathetic, in many of these places $10/hr is a great wage...and the taxes are amongst the highest in the country.|||Both states have very strong municipal unions that have huge pensions and health benefits, much more than the private sector. In 2010, neither state can afford the union demands and should lock everyone out. Police and firemen have held the state hostage. I know the state can hire people who would work for a reasonable wage without a union. I think that is what is draining the state coffers, that, plus crooked politicians like the one we just heard about in L.A. county who conned the voters into making Bell a charter city so he could manipulate his salary.
It is disgusting with so many Californians hard up, and social services, schools, public services, all going downhill, police getting laid off, schools closing, classes bulging, tuition at college increasing, the state still in a budget deficit even after 7 years of a Republican governor who would not raise taxes and so social spending has dropped to a new low. The Democrats have compromised as much as possible. both states have a great immigrant population which gets public benefits citizens dont get. These are leftover "Great Society" ideals from the 1960s which have run their course.

I'm planning to run around the same block over and over for about 1 or 2 miles but I need to know how many blocks is 1 mile in southern california.|||You'd indeed need to find your particular block and calculate it.
If you can get someone to drive it in a car, you can use the odometer to estimate. Keep in mind if they're on the road and you're on an inside loop on the sidewalk, you're running a little shorter than the car measures.
You can go to a mapping service like Mapquest and keep entering addresses like you would for directions, or in some places you can drag markers around on a route, and you can see what it says distances are.|||All blocks are not necessarily all the same length so giving you an amount of blocks can be completely inaccurate or close to being accurate. What I recommend doing is to go on Map Quest and type in house addresses around your block until you reach the distance that you would like to run.
In California, when you are driving how do you treat a solid yellow line on the roadway? What about a broken yellow line? And also, how would you treat a solid with a broken yellow line?|||A yellow line is always found on your left on American roadways. On multilane freeways the lane furthest to the left has a solid yellow line on its left side. On a two lane road the center lane is yellow so that it will be on the left no matter which direction you are driving. A solid yellow line means do not cross (to pass for example) The left lane of multilane roads is solid because you cannot cross it without going in the ditch. A solid yellow line on a two lane road means you cannot pass because visibility is obstructed by a hill, or curve in the road or other obstruction. A broken line means you can cross in order to pass but you must watch for oncoming traffic. If there is a solid line with a broken line, that means the side with the solid line doesn't have visibility to pass, but the side with the broken line does have visibility to pass. One example would be on a curve where you can see around if going in one direction but not if going the other direction.|||A solid yellow line should always be on your left, if you are driving in dense fog or a snow storm, depending where you live, the lines are there to guide drives. Thus the yellow line if it is on your left side, there should be no oncoming traffic infront of you. The broken yellow line designates that you are in a passing zone. you should always pass with caution. The Solid yelow line with a broken yellow line, two part if the broken line is on your side of the road and the solid line is on the other side, then you are in a passing zone. if the yellow line is on the other side and there is a solid line closest to you then you may not pass.|||have you ever driven before??????!!!!!!!!!!! road markings are the same across the country! go to your local DMV and get a copy of your state's rules of the road.
you can cross broken yellows if their is no traffic coming head on. you can cross a broken yellow with a solid if the broken is on your side of the road.|||Just like you do in every other state its a sign of caution.|||You can not cross a solid yellow line.
You can cross a broken yellow line.
If there is a broken line next to a solid line, the traffic on the solid side can not cross the line, but the traffic on the broken side can.|||solid yellow=do not pass
What are they doing or not doing that causes their fires to last so long?
i am guessing most states get lightning every year, but not all the fires created by them burn as long as the ones in california. so what gives? did smokey bear not make it to california and tell them only you can prevent forrest fires?|||ya they are burning down a lot of trees. last time i went to our cabin, our bike trail was ruined with knocked down trees. Its the fire hazard all right. Smokey bear took a 2 long hybernation if u ask me.|||Fire is a natural phenomenon. It's part of a cycle of growth, fire, destruction, and regrowth. In fact, by trying so hard to prevent fires, it just allows the environment to keep on accumulating dry plant detritus, so that when there IS a fire, it burns a lot longer because of all that fuel that has been allowed to accumulate in the absense of fire. So in a way, by preventing all these fires from happening, it's only causing the fires that actually do happen to burn stronger and longer. This is just from an ecological point of view, however.|||Most states don't have as much dry brush as california. Dry brush= fuel. When these fires happen in the desert or in the mountains there is very limited access to water and other materials to contain it. Winds also play a factor as they can be rather high in California and spread the fire faster that it can be contained. But, lighting strikes are nature's way of renewing itself. Nature never anticipated a bunch of people building their homes in fire prone areas.|||THERE ARE NONE. THE REASON THE FIRES ARE BURNING IS A DRY WINTER (DROUGHT CONDITIONS) AND AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF SLASH IN THE WOODS. ADD THE WINDY CONDITIONS AND YOU'VE BASICALLY GOT A DISASTEROUS SITUATION.
FIRES ARE REALLY NOTHING NEW TO THE AREA. I THINK THE NATIVE AMERICANS USED TO SET FIRES TO CLEAR THE LAND AND RID THE AREAS OF DRY BRUSHY PLANTS.
HERE'S A SOURCE FOR THAT INFO, SEE WEBSITE BELOW:
Fire was an important tool widely used by Native Americans. It was part of their everyday life. Fire had many uses: reducing the undergrowth thereby opening up the area for more food plants such as berries; clearing the land for crops; and hunting-driving game in an open woods was quieter and easier to move through when hunting. For a long time it was believed that the Native Americans had little impact on the land they inhabited, taking only what was needed and moving on. However this version of history is not true. Native Americans and in fact all people have changed the landscape they live on to meet their needs for survival and growth. Fires were purposely set by Native Americans for many reasons all critical for their survival: providing food, places to live, safety, and in warfare.|||First of all, California is a pretty dry state, they get lots of sun. This causes the trees in their forest to be drier and therefore easier to catch fire. Also, their forests are very vast, making it hard to try and cut it off or stop it. From what I've read, most of their fires haven't been started from people.|||They lost a butt load of trees to a beetle infextation last year . So the dead dry wood is a tinderbox.

You need to make a list of questions that are important to you, make some copies of that quiestionnaire, then make some phone calls. Ask who the teachers are, where they received their training, what their practical experience is, what class you would be placed in, do they allow auditing (can you take a free class to see if you like it), etc. Whether they teach a specific method, if you have to sign a contract locking you into a certain amount of time... stuff like that.

I am curious if anyone has ever been able to contact CA EDD over the phone.|||Following is the method I've employed successfully for the last year:
1) Set aside a minimum of 2 hours for this project
2) Never call on Monday or Friday and start calling at 8 AM.
3) Make sure your phone has auto-redial.
4) There are 2 possible lines you will reach. One is to get on hold for an operator, one is an automated line which will never reach an operator. You will soon learn the difference in the voices giving you instructions. Hang up immediately when you get the second voice and redial. (The "right" line's message uses a somewhat grim voice. The "wrong" line's message uses a disgustingly perky voice. Also, the "right" line's ring lasts a while. The "wrong" line's ring is short before you're connected.)
5) When you get through to the line which can lead to an actual operator, push the required buttons. You will find out which they are and future redials will go a lot faster. (Last week, the numbers were 1, 2, 4, 3 in that order. No need to listen to the message, just push the buttons.)
6) After you push the correct buttons, you will be told that all operators are busy and you will be disconnected.
7) Redial the number.
8) Repeat 4 through 7 above. If, after 2 hours, you still haven't gotten an operator, go do something else for a while then return to 4 through 8 above.
9) Eventually you will get through. Be very nice to the operator. It's not his/her fault that there are not enough people answering the phones.
10) Do a little dance to celebrate the successful solution of your problem.
The only additional suggestion I have is that you repeat the mantra "Patience is a virtue."|||I had to deal with them in April of last year.

Generally speaking, he can file in the state where he has established residency as defined by that state's laws. The first link leads to a State by State summary page that gives each states residency requirements. He can also file in the state where the wife resides, and may need to if children are involved. There is also the issue of which state has the best laws in regards to limiting alimony, child support, more favorable laws for children to have time with fathers, etc... These would all be issues that should be examined before any filing takes place.
If there are children involved, then generally the state where the children reside will take jurisdiction over any matters involving the children. So while he can file for the divorce in North Carolina, if the children reside in California then a good portion of the case may be heard in California. It may be more beneficial for him to just do it all in California (or whatever state the wife has established residency in).
He should really seek out some attorneys in the state where he currently resides to discuss this potential issues during initial consultations before committing to filing in any one state.

I recently bought a kit to grow a California Redwood bonsai tree. I am wondering how long it will take to grow. I have researched it a lot and have found much information on proper care and feeding; however, none of these sources will tell me the length that this tree will take to reach maturity.
Thank you|||Well technically there is no right answer to this question. The best answer is: a very long time. Basically when growing a bonsai like a redwood from seed you need it to grow to a certain height at which you trim it and keep it from growing any larger, then you have to wait many years (you will need about 10-20) before it will start to resemble more of a tree than a seedling. From there the longer you keep it and care for it, the better and more "mature" it will look, but there really is no such thing as a mature bonsai tree age.
If you want to have faster results, I recommend you buy a pre bonsai redwood and start from there (will save you 5-10 years).
Hope this helps!

Here are some great options:
LA County: Rat Beach, in Palos Verdes (don't worry - you won't find any of the furry critters running around; it's an acronym for Right After Torrance). This is the hidden gem of quiet LA-area beaches -- visit and you'll immediately see why. Park for free at the Malaga Cove School.
OC: Woods Cove, at PCH and Diamond in Laguna Beach, is a reasonably private and quiet beach in Laguna, and it's framed on all side by cliffs. Very scenic and pleasant!
San Diego: Torrey Pines is the least secluded and private of my recommendations, but you'll find plenty of space to yourself, amidst spectacular scenery. For added fun, take a walk in the hills adjacent to the beach.|||If you don't mind making the drive to San Diego - I'd say Coronado Island right by the Coronado Hotel.

In California, if I sue a corporation can they have an attorney represent them?

The appearance of an officer or director who was also an attorney was not prohibited. (Prudential Ins. Co. v. Small Claims Court, (1946) 76 Cal.App.2d 379.)
However, the Legislature has provided that in the case of a partnership or a professional corporation, an attorney who is a partner, or officer or director, can appear in a small claims action only if all other partners, or officers and directors, are also attorneys. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 116.530, subd. (b).) I have not seen any judicial authority discussing whether this same rule should also apply in the case of corporations which are not professional corporations, or whether the previous rule permitting any officer or director to appear, even if that person is an attorney and other officers or directors are not attorneys, continues to be effective.|||Attorneys are not allowed in small claims courts, period.

I have some sterotypes, but they are not that strong. For reasons I have yet to grasp, I met an awful lot of airheads in CA. I could not for the life of me figure out how they qualified for college. Even at Univ. of CA which I was told was extremely competitive.
Other than that, in general, Californians TEND to be more tolerant of those who are different and less likely to go around with a stick up their butts. That is, if you are not in contact with the extreme conservatives.|||I live in California so maybe I'm prejudiced. But I love it here. Wonderful climate, great diversity of both geography and people.
California is a 'new' place, barely 150 years old. It began with a gold rush, which brought in people from all over, not just across the US but across the Pacific--in the 1850s, it was as easy to get here from China or Japan as it was from the east coast. Because 95% of people in CA were newcomers, we didn't have any elite class like older places. So we began as a very democratic place, where everyone was as good as everyone else. To this day, we pass most of our big laws through the initiative process, by ballot initiative (which is both a good and bad thing). And we tend to be more tolerant of foreigners, strange religions, alternate sexualities, etc. etc. We have every kind of ethnic restaurant you can imagine. We learn about other cultures through their food. 8^)
California has always been a 'bellweather' state, meaning that trends that spread across the country start here (the other bellweather states are Colorado, Florida and Massachusetts).
It's a great place to live, at least along the coast where most of the population is. The climate is great, it only rains a little during the Winter. In a weekend you can go to ocean, desert, redwood forest, alpine mountains, historical sites, etc. etc. The only problem is that so many people want to live here the place has gotten a little crowded.
People in 'middle America' who b*tch and moan about California, I think they're just jealous! 8^)|||Well, i love surfer boys with long blonde hair. so naturally, i love california :D

What is predicted to happen to the gas prices in california? will it ever drop?
right now its like 5 bucks a gallon. is the price predicted to rise? when will the price start dropping again? which president do you think will help us stabilize our economy again and have decent prices for gas in california? it is outrageous.
maybe something bout US owning Antarctica? will that help the gas prices become more stable?|||Sorry but high gas prices are here to stay until such a time exists that demand significantly decreases due to other options. The US produces about 3% of the oil on the market and we use about 25% of what is consumed worldwide. Today, China and India have a growing demand for cars and gas. Gas prices are about $9 a gallon in Europe so we really don't have much room to complain. Both McCain and Obama will have their work cut out for them. Drilling off-shore will have no effect on gas prices for a long, long time other than some sort of immediate feel good sensation that our leaders are doing something. It will take 10 years before off-shore drilling will yield a drop. The best solution is for you and I to reduce our individual consumption and then support policies through your voting habits that fund alternative energy, conservation and sustainable living. The way I do that is to consolidate my car trips and my husband and I ride our bicycles to work. We thought about mileage when we purchased our vehicle 2 years ago, knowing that gas prices would go up (how could you not know???? I've known since I the oil embargo of 1973 and I was only 11!!!!) We live in the mountain southwest where it snows heavily in winter so we need an SUV and got a Honda Element, which is very fuel efficient. We voted to increase our sales tax locally to expand city bus service. The initiative passed and we hope to take the bus to work by next summer. The bottom line is that American lifestyles are going to have to change. Some people might tell you that such changes will set us down the road to a socialist way of life similar to Europe. Well I have traveled in Europe extensively and I don't see them complaining about riding bicycles on municipally maintained bike paths and lanes or using public transit, which is fantastic. My travels suggest to me that middle class Europeans manage pretty well, despite having to pay $9 a gallon and use buses and trains to get to work and school. This is not outrageous, this is the real world.|||try www.ratemygasstations.com Report Abuse

hi, i'm planning to work as housekeeping in california - which the salary is ranged between $6 - 10.
i'm just wondering how much of our salary is deducted in california? what's the % tax rate here?|||They will take all that the irs lets you keep plus $3.00 per hour so that they can cover all of the services that they give to the unemployed!|||The California State Tax is like this.
If your income range is between $0 and $6,146, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 1%.
If your income range is between $6,147 and $14,570, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 2%.
If your income range is between $14,571 and $22,996, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 4%.
If your income range is between $22,997 and $31,924, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 6%.
If your income range is between $31,925 and $40,345, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 8%.
If your income range is $40,346 and over, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 9.3%.

Do you think California might drop off the contential United States and become it's own island? Do you think it will wipe California off the map completely? Or is this just a regular storm with regular natural consequences?|||The fact is, the story about a super storm that may move into California is hypothetical. Some people like to experiment with the mathematical models to see what sort of storms can be created with a "perfect' environment of their own choosing. The initial parametrization is skewed towards very unrealistic values that one never sees in the atmosphere. This creates a storm that is mathematically and physically correct but virtually impossible. I wouldn't say it can't happen, just with our current understanding of nature very improbable.
Another one that I have heard about is the hail the size of 33 gallon size garbage cans. It also could happen according to the mathematical models in the "perfect" environment but so far the largest hail stone ever recorded isn't even 5 percent of that size. So is it possible, according to the model yes. Will it every happen, not very likely.
Mathematical models are made to use, and abuse.|||no - there is no bigger BS than biblical BS|||Since I live in Cal, it scares me for them to just say that. I hope it doesn't happen or hope I live.

I think california should become a right to work state. what do you think?|||Yes I do but we are too stupid here in california to do anything about it. We will always vote for the unions.|||California is not a right to work state right now. Right to work refers to employees having the right to choose if they want to join a union.
Union membership is not mandatory under right to work, but it is mandatory for many jobs in California. You cannot be hired as an electrician without being union, unless you work for yourself. Most cities and counties will not hire non-union contractors. That is slowly changing. My city just passed a law where non-union has the right to compete for construction government contracts.|||ALL states should be.

I know they are illegal, but I really want a small pet and a hedgehog seems like the perfect match for me. They don't smell as bad as a regular small pet, they live long, and they are cute as cute can get.
Most places that sell hedgehogs will not ship to California. The only way I have found that I can get one is to drive to the closest state where they are legal. That would be a big pain though. Is there any way to get one without this big hassle?|||Please think of the hedgehog. If you're caught with it, it may be euthanized.
Also, fines are steep if your caught|||also think about this: if it were to get sick, you wouldnt be able to take it to a vet without getting in trouble. not only would the hedgehog probably be euthinized but you would also be fined for having an illegal animal.|||I'm sorry, But i don't think you should get one. If some one found out, they might call animal control, and they may kill it. Please don't risk the life of an animal just so you can have it.
I have this political science professor who is just out there. I've had many political science professors (it's my major), and all of them were non-partisan and professional. Not this guy. I won't say whether b

This guy is so partisan that the subject matter is intetpreted a certain way and it's downright distracting.
Please no anti-liberal statements about California. Bias in the classroom is unacceptable whether it's liberal or conservative bias.|||No, there's no rule against it. Professors, especially those with tenure, can teach whatever they want. If it was offensive (and not just to people who don't think the same way, but literally going out of his way to offend and degrade students) then you could complain, but you're probably not going to get anywhere if that's not the case.|||No, it's not illegal or prohibited. Sometimes there might sorta be policies at the college, but they aren't adhered to. You will find enormous bias in university classrooms, the more elite the college, the more bias. Geez, even in the private high schools, the more rigorous and prestigious the school, the more bias. (And it's not necessarily liberal, but more often then not.) I think it's because the more prestigious the college / high school, the more important the professor thinks s/he is, so their opinions must be too important to keep to themselves. I do think it's a distraction if the teacher shows too much bias, but I also know it isn't going to change.

I am a students planning to attend UC Davis this Fall. I just found out that all California Universities require students to have health insurance. What is the cheapest insurance out there?|||When I attended UC there was a student health center and I didnt have to buy outside insurance.
You can be covered under your parents insurance until age 26. They must request that with their insurer. That is the cheapest thing to do. You dont have to be a full time student or a student at all. Students do not get special rates.
If your parents have no insurance, you might try Kaiser. Otherwise you can call an independent insurance agent and ask for the least expensive policy.|||The cheapest is to get health insurance through the school. The California universities have a student health insurance plan. You can get a waiver out of it if you are covered by your parents' insurance.
My husband and I are buying are first home and are expected to close escrow and move in, in about two weeks; mid July. Is it too late to plant flowers this time of year in California?|||No, it's not too late. However, when you're transplanting the plants out of the six packs be sure to give the plants plenty of water the first few days and shading them for 3 or 4 days would help them not to go into shock. I've lived in CA most of my life, and you can plant flowers most months of the year. I live in the mountains and the only months I don't plant are Novemeber through February; but when I lived in the Valley I didn't plant from December-January. It just depends where you live--but as long as the ground isn't frozen you can plant just about any flower. Good luck and congrats on your new home!|||yes, its also illegal.

OBEY THE LAW WOMEN.|||No it's not too late. You can purchase plants from nurseries and plant them. It would be too late for seeds, but not plants that have already been started.|||you would be better off preparing garden beds so will be ready to planting in the fall.

I wore contact lens for couple of years back in around 2001. After that when I sleep, sometimes I wake up due to pain in my eye, when my eye ball move(probably from rem sleep) and feels like inside of my eye lid is stuck to my eye ball. I immediately get lots of discharge from my eye. After a while(maybe 10 minutes), pain goes away and discharge stops and feel normal and I go back to sleep. I haven't worn contact lens for about 4 years because of it but seems this symptom persists. I only have this problem when I sleep. Sometimes my eyes are very sensative to light as well.

There is a plan to reduce the California prison population what ever happend to that bill?|||Not a bill, a court order.
In August, a panel of federal judges ordered California to come up with a plan to reduce prison population to a mere 137% of the capacity for which its prisons are designed, within two years.
California prisons currently confine an estimated 150,000 inmates, which is 188% design capacity. With current facilities, this means a reduction of over 40,000 prisoners is required.|||It wasn't a bill, it was a court order. The court order is still pending.

This 10 yr old boy started an 800 sq. mile fire in California with matches. Should charges be brought against him or his parents? Should he be taken out of his home and placed in a juvenille facility? The D.A. has not brought charges against them yet, but they're contemplating it.|||I don't believe the boy meant to start those fires. It was an accident. If anything give him community service, don't ruin his life. The parents had nothing to do with it so I'm not sure why they should be charged.
The real question is should people be allowed to build houses in areas where it is known to be fire prone? Mother nature designed those forests to burn every few years|||In my opinion, when I was 10 I understood that throwing matches into garbage cans, and playing with fire in general, could not only start a dangerous fire but could also lead to personal injury.
So maybe his parents never told him not to play with matches, or maybe California's school system is so underfunded and inadequate that they don't teach fire safety or common sense to school children. Or maybe the kid is just clinically retarded.
I think a lot more investigation has to go into this. Such as where he started the fire? Where were his parents? Why was he playing with matches/lighters?
Maybe they'll discover he has a mental problem (such as obsession with fire) or maybe he was trying to hurt himself or others. Or maybe he was just a stupid kid who thought it would be funny.
Either way, ask any 10 year old if it's a good idea to play with fire and they'll tell you know. He's not too young to be punished. And he DEFINITELY should be punished in some way (if anything to set an example for other kids).
I say the parents should be charged. Give them a big fine. Clearly he is still a minor under their care and obviously not yet mature or responsible enough to be out unsupervised. Send the kid to a juvenile facility for a few months + councelling + community service such as planting trees for 1000 hours to replant some of the trees that were lost.

Some years we can see good snowfall as early as October or as late as January. It's hard to tell really.
Snow is forecasted for tonight and tomorrow in California (today is Wednesday Sept 18th) but we don't expect more than an inch or so and it won't last.
Almost all of the major resorts have snowmaking now so you can be assured that they'll be open by the Christmas Holidays at the latest.
I'd say the earliest you could be assured to see good snow is mid December.

Im a junior in high school and we have all these college reports coming up. I want to be a photographer and I was wondering what colleges would be good for someone looking for a profession like that. I'd like to stay in California so some colleges there would be great. I was thinking about UC Berkley or the San Francisco Art Institute? Help please! Thanks!|||UC Berkeley and SFAI are both great choices. Ansel Adams founded the photography program at SFAI; Annie Leibovitz attended SFAI, although as a painting major, and is now huge in the photo industry.
It really depends if you would like the "college" experience or the art school experience. If you are already a California resident, you could always attend a UC for undergrad & an art school for graduate school to save yourself a little bit of money. Photography is a very expensive choice between your supplies, equipment, and promotional materials. If you know you would rather go towards the commercial aspect such as weddings, fashion, etc. I would recommend going to a community college to build your portfolio and take several business, graphic design, and web design classes. If you are looking into the fine art aspect, expect to be going to graduate school and possibly teaching.
Other programs to look into are Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CalArts in Valencia, UCLA, & UCR.|||If I had any option, I myself would choose the Brooks Institute of Photography. Check out their website. They have locations in Santa Barbara, and Ventura, California. Whenever magazines had examples of work by photography students, I found the work of students there most attractive to me.
Try Googling things like contests for photography students, or new and emerging photographers. Usually you see the work of several students from the same school, a variety of schools, and you can judge for yourself, if they're doing the work, and use the approaches, that interests you.
If you check the sites of schools like UC and SFAI, you might get info on student exhibitions, that you could check out.
Good luck; I'm sure there are exciting experience ahead.|||Yes, Art Center and Brooks take the lead in photo schools in California.

Even though California has only 12% of the population it has 1/3 of the welfare dollar spent!
California is anti business.
We have Governor Moonbeam.|||It won't be long now. California voters appear to have migrated to Fantasyland, at least when they entered the voting booth yesterday. They even elected a dead candidate.
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local-鈥?/a>
But electing Jerry Brown, who more than anyone else, wrecked our state government by allowing unionized state employees to donate to politicians and strike -- thereby triggering the fiscal meltdown -- and who was an ineffectual mayor of Oakland, is insane. Inflicting the vile Barbara Boxer on the Senate and the nation ought to be grounds for litigation from the other 49 states.
Voter initiatives were a mixed bag. Prop 19, legalizing marijuana was shot down by the voters, and a redistricting commission, supposedly intended to take gerrymandering out of the hands of politicians, passed. This covers both state and congressional districts, and could negatively impact the Democrats in the Congressional delegation.
BUT two other propositions more or less sealed the economic doom of the Golden State -- which ought now to be called the Brown State. The state legislature will no longer require a 2/3 majority to pass a budget, thanks to Prop. 25. A simple majority will suffice, which could unleash a torrent of spending and taxation under the Democrats. Jerry Brown has promised to take any tax increases to the voters, but he also admitted that a previous campaign for governor was based on "lies. I remember that.
Even worse, in my eyes, Prop 23, which would have suspended that state's draconian carbon emissions regulations, was voted down by a large margin, based on a campaign slogan, "Say no to Texas oil." The coming regulations will strangle the local economy. Small businesses will face huge expenses, not to mention larger scale industrial facilities, which will simply have to downsize or close. This is economiuc suicide, imposed to fight an imaginary problem. The only beneficiary will be U-Haul, which will rent trailers to productive Californians fleeing the economic wasteland being imposed by state government.
California Dreaming. o_O|||In all fairness to Ahnold, this isn't a partisan issue. California is screwed by its own constitution, which limits the ability of its leadership to control its own economy. Its an example of a proposition/ballot measure system run amok. We hire politicians to lead us; California gives too much power to the idiot masses, and no Democrat nor Republican can lead the state, in part because they are restricted from changing taxes by more than a few percent.
1/3 rd of the welfare dollar spent? That's is not accurate, because to be fair you have to look at welfare dollars spent compared to taxes collected. By that measure, California receives the second least amount in federal aid compared to taxes:

Are there any beaches in Northern California that allow fires? Fire pits? Fire works? Dogs? All of these or some?|||From the windswept beaches of the Fort Bragg far in the north to the foggy pebble beaches of the Pt Reyes National Seashore just north of Golden Gate, a California beach on the northern coast is a totally different experience from the bikini filled surfing beaches of Southern California.
With a relatively small population, the north coast is where you can find all the peace and seclusion you could want on a Northern California Vacation. North of San Francisco, the Mendocino coast is close to the biggest trees in the world, which is the Coastal Sequoia. These behemoths grow to be over 20 feet wife and over three hundred feet tall.
The Northern California coast and the giant redwood forests that are remnants of a old coastal rainforest. The last of these mythical coastal rainforests are now confined to the inaccessible reaches of the western coast of Canada.
The temperature along the Northern coast is fairly consistent due to its marine climate, so it is comfortable to visit any time of year. The only time you need to be concerned about California weather if you're deciding when to go is usually only if you are planning a trip to one of the state parks or mountains to visit one of the ski resorts.
Usually, a California beach is going to be a comfortable place with weather that is seasonable and never too cold. While the waters in some beaches like the rip-tides water of Ocean Beach in San Francisco are not suitable for swimming, this and other beaches attract visitors to wander and beach comb for shells. For a relaxing and invigorating trip, you can take in the Pacific from one of the great Northern California Vacation Rentals.
There are tons of campgrounds alone the Northern coast, but its nice to have a rustic retreat to call your own. Ranging from a rustic beachfront cabin to a luxury lodge high on the cliffs, taking a few days to explore lovely coastal areas with lush coastal ranges, sheer cliff faces, and quaint towns all the way from Eureka to Bodega Bay can be best enjoyed in Northern California vacation rentals.
Here in the Northern coast, there are no amusement rides, big cruise ships or crowded boardwalks of Southern California beaches. It is quiet enough here that you can actually hear your own thoughts, and you'll want to return again and again. Once you've found the perfect Northern California vacation rentals, you'll find yourself wanting to escape even more often.
On the Northern Coast you could drive for miles and not see a soul, so its good to know what the major population centers are. While some travelers love the isolation, the lack of major cities makes it so you have to monitor your gas tank and not go too far before filling up again.
The Redwood Forest is a good 300 miles from San Francisco, so if you're touring the coast on a Northern California vacation, you will want to plan ahead, since it will be a long drive. A quick way to get north is on 101. If you haven't been through California this actually is a good ride to take, since you can see some major towns north of San Francisco that you can't see if you here to take the scenic drive up Highway 1.
Instead, Highway 101 takes you right up the center of Northern California, and it takes you through the Humboldt Redwoods State Parks as it veers west towards the coast. The drive south on 1 is more impressive coming south on the outer side of the road that faces the Pacific Ocean, so just before you get up to Willits on 101, get off the Redwood Highway and take the Fort-Bragg-Willits to the coast. It's another 4 hours before you get to the coastal redwoods.
All along the way, there are dozens of state parks to spend the night on and watch the sunset over the Pacific. Although most of the major California attractions are a far cry to the pristine beaches of the north, the incredible scenic drive of the remote North coast is one of the most enjoyable activities you can enjoy on your Northern California vacation.

My California Reading List number is 11. What does that mean? I just tooked the California Standarized Test and thats what it says in there. Is it a good number?|||The California Reading List is a list of books organized by grade level and difficulty. The numbers range from 1 to 13+.
Let's say you're in ninth grade (hypothetical; I don't mean to demean you in any way). Books on List Number 1 for ninth grade are (comparatively) the easiest. Books on list 13+ are the most difficult and sophisticated. Having the List Number 11 doesn't mean that you're in eleventh grade. It simply means that you're capable of comprehending books with comparatively difficult subject matter, vocabulary, etc. and that you are recommended to read them. So it's a fairly high number, and yes, it's good :)

Illegal immigrants are migrating from Arizona to California now, why is that? Why is California helping law breakers? Is the state going to make them legal immigrants cause that would be great, cause then they would pay taxes like the rest of us. Last I heard, California is in a deep craphole with a huge deficit, what could they be thinking?|||I hope they continue to burn California to the ground. They already bankrupted it. As long as we don't have to bail out that worthless state to subsidize their beloved illegals I say send all of the freeloaders there|||It really isn't that complicated. If they don't welcome them they will lose the election because of the sizable hispanic votes that they would lose and the liberal votes. The politicians have to welcome them with open arms or get kicked out of office.|||California is about as left wing as you can get, plus when Obama grants amnesty, there will be millions more Democratic voters.

They feel that the more Mexicans in Calif., the more votes they will get. Just ask the racist mayor of LA.|||First off, as you stated, California is bankrupt. More immigrants, legal or no, will help bring revenue through the system. If they are made legal, that means thousands upon thousands of new sources for governmental revenue through taxes.

It is a simple game of politics influencing California's decision.|||in the coming weeks california especially san Francisco will be flooded with hispanic illegals from arizona,get use to it .your limp wristed liberals have no intention of curtailing it. your problem stems from allowing hispanics to run in elections and the voting places allowing anyone to vote without being properly vetted.|||Look who we have leading/speaking for Calif...pelosi, boxer.....the mayor of LA...his parents came from mexico....

Basically what does she have to do to be able to grow and sell marijuana legally in California?|||you need a care takers licence for people who have a prescription for it. when these care takers and patients have more then allowed they can sell it to dispensaries for a pretty good amount of money.|||I'm not entirely sure but she should ask around and see if their is a licence available because the thing about medical marijuana is it's only legal to have with a doctor's prescription so she'd need a licence and she'd need to sell it to pharmacies and NOT SMOKE ANY OF IT BECAUSE THAT IS ILLEGAL so you probably shouldn't have posted all your information over the internet connected to it.|||There is no guarantee that she won't get in trouble even if she complies with California law as this is still illegal under federal law.

This is a delicate procedure and should not be tried by amateurs.
If you compare two snakes of the same species and same size, typically the male will have a longer tail and a slight swelling at the base of the tail.|||Well, if it wears a little skirt......
If you take it to a good reptile store or breeder, they can either look at it and get an idea (for most snakes, males have a longer tail than females), or ONLY IF THEY ARE QUALIFIED AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING they can probe your snake. This involves taking a stainless steel probe and inserting it into the cloaca. Male snakes need room for their hemipenes, so they have a deeper cloacal cavity than females. Again, ONLY ALLOW A SKILLED PERSON TO PROBE YOUR SNAKE.
Then again, if you're not planning on breeding, you can just make it up, you've got a 50% chance of being right anyway.|||the only way to tell for sure is to have it probed
I have heard that if the vent is closer to the tail its male and if the vent is closer up towards the body its female but i wouldnt rely on this as being true|||it has to go to a vet and they will probe it to tell.

http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leafle鈥?/a>
In short: proof of...
CBEST
Subject matter competency (CA Approved tests)
Preliminary program that includes student teaching (see doc for list of state approved)
CLAD|||As eastacademic points out, "no".
The key phrase you need to investigate is "reciprocity"...if such an agreement exists between CO and CA...which essentially defines the work you completed in CO that would count toward a CA credential.
You didn't say if you were getting credentialed in CO for primary or secondary teaching. Whichever it is, consider that some districts in CA have severe shortages of teachers and may offer "emergency" or "provisional" credentials. Essentially this means you could be placed in the classroom and get paid, but you would also need to be enrolled in an accredited teacher certification program in CA at the same time, and would be given a specific time to complete the work to be fully credentialed in CA.
In addition to the CA Dept of Education website at http://www.ctc.ca.gov/default.html you might want to consider getting familiar with the CA teaching standards by visiting Get an idea of the "standards" in the classroom
http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/
This might give you some insights to better align your resume and comments for any potential interviews to show you are in tune with the classroom / teaching needs you can deliver.
Other considerations: additional points to ponder are the special needs of some districts...special ed, bilingual ability, etc. If you have a specialty that is needed by the district, it could help in your bid for emergency credentialing status.
Hope this helps. Best wishes.
I have to answer a question about starting school in California for my spanish class, but I do not know when the school year actually starts. The question is asking for unnecessary specifics.

What do you need to take with you to the California DMV when you are going to take the written driving permit test? Things like money or medical records? help would be awesome!|||Hello kit ba,
To get a permit, you must:
鈥?Be at least 151/2, but under 18 years of age.
鈥?Complete the application requirements.
鈥?Have your parents鈥?or guardians鈥?signatures on the DL 44.
鈥?Pass a traffic laws and road signs test. If you fail the test, you must wait one week before taking it
again. This will give you time to study.
鈥?If you are between 151/2 and 171/2, provide proof that you have met one of the following requirements:
- completed driver education (DE) and driver training (DT).
completed DE and are taking DT.
- enrolled and participating in an approved integrated DE/DT program.
And yeah, two pieces of ID, social security card, proof of residence.
Please check out for more details here:
http://driving-tests.org/california/cali鈥?/a>
Also, here is a sample permit practice test for you to see how well you are prepared for the actual thing:
http://driving-tests.org/california/cali鈥?/a>
Hope this helps!|||Proof of residency, social security card and I think $25. You have to fill out a form there requesting for a DL. Proof of residency can be your US Passport or a Resident Green Card. Without proof they won't let you take the test or they will just give you 2 months temporary in case you have a foreign DL.
We are planning to move to Oregon from California. What are some differences and Is housing easy to acquire. |||Oregon is cheaper and better than California.|||big thing is the rain, you will get allot. there is no sales tax in oregon.
they have a higher income tax rate. food is cheaper. its slower paced.
if your buying property make sure you have a good water access. if you live in the country or out of urban areas you don't have to have your car
smog tested. i would not live inside a city limit, a county area is better
and cheaper as far as getting things done if your going to be building
a home on vacant property. they have good doctors. its cheaper to get your car registered. the housing market didn't get hit as hard as other
places. we sold our home there in 07 and didn't have any problem
getting our price. oregonians love coffee every where you go you
will see drive through coffee places.
|||Depending where you are at in California, I think Oregon would be cooler than south California. They may get more rain also.
I would think that housing might not be as expensive as CA. |||Um... It's further North?
What part of California are you moving from? It's much, much different geographically and economically from Southern California, but not much from Northern California.|||Umm...Oregon doesn't have sales tax. And people fill your gas tank for you. Those seem to be the two things that people talk about when they come over.
Hi, I am planning to go to an Evangelical Christian College in California. I want to pick a college that is close to very good hiking locations.
So, where do you think the best area/location to go hiking and backpacking in California is?
I particularly like forest mountain areas with lakes, waterfalls, some peaks to hike to, and a lot of trees. I hope to avoid dry, desert areas with not a lot of trees and water sources.
Thank you for your input!|||Go mountain Serra near yosemite or king canyon park.
If you prefer big metro area, than visit bay area, see http://www.bayareavisit.com/|||the Central Coast area around Big Sur is beautiful- here is an article I wrote that talks about some hikes to waterfalls there too:

I'm planning on moving to California directly after my senior year of high school. How much money should I have saved up? And where are some great dental schools(excluding community colleges) to become dental assistant? And also where are some decent areas with fairly decent prices?|||CA is one of the most expensive places on earth. First, make sure you come with a very reliable car, you'll be using it a lot. Then, you need 3 months rent on day one, first, last and a security deposit. A cheap apartment in an iffy area will be minimum $1000/mo.
It would be much easier to get your dental training somewhere cheaper and move to CA when you have a job.|||Cali. is a big state...with lots of schools in regard to Dental Asst.
You'd need to research the schools first and then I suggest getting on "rent an apmnt" type sites for several areas surrounding the school that appeals to you.
where you are moving from, what budget you have now, the distance between you and your family (for assistance, etc.) all factors in to how someone might answer this question. Decent areas are in the Orange County region, but you will spend a lot of time in traffic and housing is expensive for one person, especially going to school. Northern Cali., is pretty and may offer a slower pace in order for you to get thru school and hold a job and pay for your expenses at the same time.
it aint easy.
San Diego area may offer a slower pace than the O.C. and L.A. areas and be affordable say living in Oceanside...
Youre the one that has to research where you will live, how much you can afford while going to school and possibly holding down a job at the same time. Unless you have relatives with bucks, a savings for college in the making, etc. If you are starting from scratch...good luck at your age it may be wise to go to a community college first in your area...take classes that will transfer to your school of choice (such as the English, Math, Science classes) in Cali. - save up some money and go from there. Make sure that when you do find a decent tech school or college that it is accredited and will take transferred credits- very important you do that. Find a school and research what others have said about it - and dont use the school's own site for that either.
Moving is not cheap. We'll pretend you live in AZ now. Keep in mind, gas, insurance, possible car payment (you cant just float around Cali. without a car), living arrangements (that's a deposit on a place and first months rent, living expenses such as clothes, food, utility payments, school payments and expenses...etc.
You do need a nest egg of say $4000 to get you started.

I heard many different answers but I want the fact. Do you have to re-apply for your permit? Do you have to take the laws test agian? Do you have to wait 6months 3months or two weeks after failing or getting your new permit? The California DMV website says nothing.

I need to know if there are any laws prohibiting the sale of human breast milk in California. I know there are many conflicting opinions on this subject, but I'm not asking for anyone's thoughts or opinions. I would just like an answer to my question. Only serious & informed responses please. And please list any sources/references. Thank you.|||"Right now, only California and New York have restrictions against selling breast milk. But other states are considering legislation to ban the practice." Quote from, http://jscms.jrn.columbia.edu/cns/2007-0鈥?/a> According to this, it sounds like it is illegal to sell your breast milk in California.
And why do some of you find it disgusting? Is cow milk better? Or formula made in factories? Let's not forget about Chinese formula that killed and made ill many, many babies. Human milk banks offer a wonderful and potentially life saving service to babies that are for some reason unable to receive breast milk from their mothers. Google it and educate yourselves before passing judgment.|||I tried to buy breastmilk online, and I googled a lot, without success. I couldn't find any serious website, I seriously don't know anyone who bough or sold brestmilk. When you search online it seems like lots of people buy and sell because there's so much discussion about it, but I seriously never saw any website actually offering the service. I think you would need to find yourself someone in your area who needs breastmilk, you can't really ship it because it's gonna get spoiled.
It's most likely illegal, only milk banks are allowed. But if you're doing a private transaction with someone, who'se gonna know?|||I tried to find it, couldn't.
I have never heard anything about it being illegal.
They sell just about anything on Craiglist and Ebay...
Good luck~ and I hope money situation gets better.
P.S. you might want to contact the milk banks and get their advice on handling and packaging the milk for transport to whoever buys it!|||I would imagine you would have to go threw an agency for that. its not uncommon to sell breast milk. You can make a lot of money off of it actually. Theres a lot of mothers out there that can't produce it. My mother said that i should look into this after I am done breast feeding my own. Still trying to decide if I want to or not.|||i believe its truly expensive and i believe its legal as long as u go though an agency but it does happen some kids need it and mothers cant produce it. and there are some sick kids that need it and cant get it. i think its a great idea if u do ur homework. its kinda gross but hey if ur baby needs it go for it. and if u can produce it than hey there are sick kids out there. heres a website u might wanna look at.

2) And if I already have a drivers license from WA state and I am over 18, do I have to take all the test and stuff again?

We are getting divorced, and we're doing it ourselves with no lawyers or legal BS. All we want to do is file and get it over with legally. Does anyone know what the fees in California would be for the most basic divorce?|||It depends on which county you file in, but California does have a form you can use to waive the filing fee. It's called a "Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs". Don't count on getting your fees waived though. If you need more information about the process or the form and everything else you need to file your own divorce in California then visit - http://www.legalformsbank.biz/unconteste鈥?/a>|||I am sorry to hear that things did not work out between you and your spouse. I am glad that through this difficult time you are able to find a way to resolve the pain without causing additional suffering for each other.
In terms of cost, I would estimate an amicable divorce to cost between $250 and $400 if you use an aid service, and perhaps less if you avail yourself of county courthouse self-help programs. This does not include the courthouse filing charges, which might vary from county to county. Filing charges may cost a few hundred dollars.
There are many forms required for a California divorce. While it is a no-fault state, the California divorce process can be complicated, even when there are no disagreements between parties. If the forms are not filled out properly, the process can be delayed or not completed. The divorce laws are written to ensure that both parties' rights are protected and the judges work to make sure this happens.
You might try an online site which will walk you through the process, especially if you are still on speaking terms.
I recommend first going to the California self help website. The address is attached below. This will walk you through the California process in great detail. If, after having read this you want additional help completing all the forms, you might try a site such as Complete Case to help you fill out the paperwork. You might also try to seek assistance through a paralegal, which would be considerably cheaper than through walking through the process with a mediation lawyer.
Good luck to you both through this difficult time.|||$320 to file the initial divorce papers in California.
If the spouse files a Response with the court he/she would have to pay an additional response/appearance fee of $320. A response fee is not charged if its a CA summary dissolution or if the case enters default.
Many California counties provide a Family Law Facilitator to provide free legal help.|||From what I remember, the court filing fees are not based on how easy or how difficult the divorce is. The fees vary by state, and by county. When I filed it was around $300.
Its best to check with the court you're filing with, because each county has a different filing cost.|||I just got divorced last year here in california we did not fight over anything. In my county they have a SHARP office in the court house

I might be moving to Arizona and I just wanted to know what things are different out there from Los Angeles, California. Are there any laws out there that are not in California? What laws have less consequences from CA?|||I moved to Phoenix from the Bay Area in Cal. about 10 years ago and found it very intresting especially the politics and how to live in the heat. The highways are very nice and smooth because less traffic, unlike Calif with bad roads. They have nice rest stops on Hwy 10 and they are clean. In the summer you need the AC on all night and the bill is quite high. The pool was warm after 8 am and people try to put cold water into the pool to cool water down. You cannot walk around very far even with water. There is smog in Phoenix but not like L.A. The university is pretty good, ASU, in Tempe just south of Scottsdale where I was. Some people drive fast on the streets but don't get tickets. And they park wherever they want to in a lot. I am used to polite people in San Francisco. There is a feeling of the wild west sometimes because Arizonans are independent but not progressive. There are a lot of snowbirds in the winter from places like Michigan and illinois and you see a lot of white-haired people who drive slowly. Thats them. Some areas of Phoenix have a lot of crime, some areas are rich. The desert landscaping is beautiful and if you like a deserted road, just 20 miles north of Scottsdale to Carefree it is isolated. There is more rain there and it really comes down. In September they get humid weather from Mexico. The traffic laws are different but you have to check on that yourself. No state has the consumer protections of California. The real estate was much cheaper too and apartments cost half of L.A. or San Francisco.|||I forgot that they dont have all the services California does like State Disability because they are pretty right-wing.

But some people would disagree...|||Socially, in Phoenix, its about the same as southern California (by socially I mean in terms of people and such).|||Well, you'll obviously miss the ocean and its breezes. Your weather inland is hot so our hot summer weather won't be a huge shock. Laws? Well, the main one that comes to mind are our beloved photo enforcement cameras. There are signs ahead of the cameras (if you notice them) telling you that you are entering a photo enforcement area. If you are speeding they will take your photo and you will be mailed a citation - notice of violation and billed $181.50. Yes they will enforce it if you don't pay. They're also starting to pull people over for speeding even if you're only going 5 miles over limit. A lot of this is due to our bad economy here in Arizona and the need to help out the budget.|||Here in Arizona we still believe in the right of self defense. We believe in the 2nd amendment. That I hope will never change. But given the number of people who move to Arizona 90% being from Southern Ca. you never know. If you want to come to AZ and live the lifestyle we in AZ enjoy then you are welcome. If you want to come here and make AZ anything like that S**T HOLE you live in now stay in Ca.
I forget what it's called and I want to look up images of it on google. I know a huge earthquake is supposed to happen and stuff. What is that crack called? In California?|||The San Andreas Fault runs 800 miles through California. Scientists believe that there is enough stress on this fault that a biq quake (7.0 or higher) is coming, but cannot predict exactly when it will happen.
Pt. Reyes (a gorgeous reserve north of San Francisco) is one of the best places to see the San Andreas Fault. The Earthquake Trail is a paved .6 mile hike at Pt. Reyes.

What is the percentage of California that is made up of Mountains, or what amount of square miles of mountains is there in California?|||the total area of california is 163,707 square miles and its mean elevation is 2900 feet. so we might conclude that about half the state - or 81,853 square miles - lies above 2,900 feet and may be considered to be part of the various mountain ranges in the state. |||you are looking at about 156K sq. miles overall in the state. i would say about 80K-90K is mountainous.
Also, what is the best (most economical) way to call someone in the Philippines from my home in California? A calling card? What are the steps involved? I have never made an international call.|||It's almost 3:00PM (Monday) in CA. In Leyte (as in the entire Philippines), it's almost 6:00AM (Tuesday). Yes, they are ahead by 15 hours.
How to use your prepaid calling card: Dial the access number on your card. It should be 1-800-xxx-xxxx. Then enter your PIN. You have to scratch that thing on the card to reveal the PIN. Then dial the number 011-6353-xxx-xxxx. For one card you will usually get to talk for 35 minutes.
011- international operator
63-country code
53-area code of Leyte|||Everywhere in Philippines is 15 hours ahead of California when America is on daylight saving time. When they are on standard time Philippines is 16 hour ahead. If you just pick up the phone and call you will pay a lot particularly if you talk along time.
The best way to call is to use a phone card. The one I used when I lived in California was L.A. Aggressive or Value Call LA. You can buy them in most liquor stores or convenience stores. You get about 18 minutes for $5. There are a lot of better deals but no guaranty that the card will work or that you will get a clear connection. The two cards that I have described worked the best for me.
You scratch off the pin number and then call the local number shown on the back of the card. You will be asked to enter the pin number so you enter it and wait to be ask for the number that you want to call. Then you enter the number in the Philippines. Here all cel phone numbers have 11 digits and start with 09. If you are calling form America you need to enter 011639 and then all the 9 numbers following the 9. If it is a land line you need to enter 01163 and the number including the city code.
Uniontelecard markets LA Agressive and they use a logo of IDT. If you live in the bay area the card maybe is SF Agressive??|||The difference of time between California and the Philippines, irregardless which part of the Philippines, is nine (09) hours.
It would be best for you to buy a phone card from any Filipino/Oriental store as it is more cheaper comparing if you will use your land line carrier.
Calling instructions is found at the back of the prepaid calling card.
I am a Canadian who is planning to move to California in the next year. I have a 4 year undergraduate bachelors degree and a post-graduate bachelor of education from the province of Ontario. I am qualified to teach French and Art in grades 7-12. Does anyone know if my qualifications will be valid in California? What do I need to do to be hired by a school board as an international applicant? What kind of visa would I need? Any relevant info would be very helpful. Thanks!|||GOOD luck...There are massive budget cuts in California. They are axing teachers left and right. Most of us California
credentialed teachers cant find jobs, let alone someone from out of the country. California demands A LOT from its teachers in terms of testing and degrees, yet does very little to keep teachers happy. I hate to be cynical, but California isn't where the teaching jobs are. If you aren't teaching Math/Science or Special Education, then you're in a world of hurt. Sorry to sound cynical...
Good luck thou!|||First of all, you would need to have some kind of visa status, such as a permanent residency, that would allow you to work in the United States. You can't just come here and start working, any more than we can do that in Canada.
Secondly, you would need to be credentialled in California. It sounds to me like your degrees would be fine, but you would still need to take the exams to be able to work as a teacher here.
I am planning a summer trip to LA California. While there we plan on going to Disneyland. Just asking.|||Disneyland is good but Disneyworld is Awesome!!

I live in California, and I'm selling my car to my daughter in Minnesota in July.
My car of course does not know snow, or icy roads, or any of that stuff they have in Minnesota.
I have anti-freeze, of course, as it does freeze here occasionally in the winter, and my heater works, and the car is generally running very well.
However, I've never lived in such a harsh cold climate, and my poor car has not either! What should I do prior to my selling so that she has a good car for the climate?|||Well generally you should not have to do to much. If your car is relatively new, less than 100,000, the antifreeze should still be fine. You may want to add a little more straight antifreeze if you are unsure. It is cheap and it is better to be safe then to have the car freeze up and have to replace the engine. Also if the elevation is extremely high you may have to replace the oxygen sensors. There is a small chance this will apply. The best bet with this is just to wait until you get there and if it is running like crap, loss of power, then this is your problem. Also in Minnesotta I believe it rains alot. Does your car run good in the rain in California? If it does than there is nothing to be concerned with. If it does not ie. it sputters and there is a lack of power then the spark plugs and wires may need to be replaced. Other than that consult your owners manual to determine which engine oil the manufacturers recommends for your car in those temperatures. It is a certaintanty that it will be much thinner than you run in California due to the fact that oil thickens and gels up in cold climates. That is about all I can think of. The most important being the engine oil and the antifreeze. Hope all is well and enjoy your trip.
I want to know about getting to California from the UK, recommendations of places to visit and things to do in California.

I am a former California resident who still owns property in CA. My major source of income now comes from China where I already get heavily taxed. Do I still need to pay CA income tax as a non-resident? How do I qualify to be a non-resident of CA?|||This is from CA web site:
A resident is any individual who is:
鈥?In California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose; or
鈥?Domiciled in California, but outside California for a temporary or transitory purpose.
A nonresident is any individual who is not a resident.
So if you have left CA and live in China, then you may be non-resident of CA.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, then you must report your world wide income on the federal return. You will get credit for taxes paid in China or may even be able to get foreign earned income exclusion of up to $85,000.|||You will pay tax on your California source income no matter where you live.

You could go to the State of California website, and find out for yourself. We're wondering why you did not do that initially.|||Get your green card.|||You are a resident of California (or any state) the moment you are in the state with the intent to remain permanently. In other words, immediately. You can register to vote immediately. You have 10 days in which to apply for a California drivers license.

I have a car that was built without seatbelts. Is it legal in California to drive it?|||Look on the driver's door post. If there is a sticker that says, "This vehicle meets or exceeds all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect at the time of manufacture", you're good to go.

I am looking at different colleges, but when I narrow my search by my preferred majors (Algebra and Number Theory or Math Education) there seems to be very few colleges that offer it. I would also prefer to go to a California University, but it seems that none of them offer my majors. Please help!|||You can start pretty much anywhere. You'll just major in math; very few schools will allow you to specialize more than that at the undergrad level. You don't have to specialize until grad school. However, you might want to attend a university with a graduate program in math so you can take grad courses if you're up for it your last year. If you have very good grades, try CalTech, Stanford, Berkeley, UCSB, or UCLA. Otherwise, again, you can major in math pretty much anywhere. You'll need a PhD to be a math professor, but you won't do your PhD and your undergraduate degrees at the same school.

I heard that in Southern California, the temperature doesn't go below 60, so people can garden all year long. In the north, our vegetable plants die in the fall from frost and we plant new ones in the spring. If you garden all year long, when do your plants die? How long, for instance, does a tomato plant stand there and make tomatos? It has to die at some point, right? When do you replace the vegetable plants?|||I live in southern california and i've had pepper plants keep up and producing for over a year. Now most of my bulbs - tulips ect do not survive unless I dig them up and store in the fridge. Whereas when i lived up north I could leave them in the ground. So it's just a trade off.
My herbs survive year round too and stay green and producing.

I bought a used car (2004 model) in May 2010 and had it smog checked and registered the car at California Department of Motor Vehicles. For the registration renewel, it says I must get a smog check before the new tags are sent this January 2011.

I have a friend living in Spain who was wondering if it was possible to navigate around California without speaking a word of English. Is it true most non-Hispanic Californians have accustomed themselves to learning basic Spanish words and phrases? Or, are they simply annoyed when you shoot them a question in Spanish? Which regions are more Hispanophone?
Well, he does speak English very well. But, if Spanish is much more commonly understood, it could be fun getting on by just that.|||Most of the time, at least in southern California, you aren't farther then one block from someone that speaks Spanish and is willing to help you so indirectly you could survive in Cali.
Most non-Hispanics have gotten used to Spanish and there are a lot that would be willing to use their Spanish to go out of the way and help you. But a little warning there are, and i say this from experience, some people that will refuse to talk to you even if they know what your saying just because your not american.
The more Hispanic regions are southern California, and in southern California Santa Ana and the surrounding area (Santa Ana is south of LA).|||in california, latinos speak spanish, as well a some anglos. however you will need to speak english in much of the state and with most anglos, african americans, and asians.|||He'd have to speak a hybrid that we call "Spanglish" ; the dominate language in California is still English.
What is the law and fines in California for playing loud music in a car that is parked in an apartment gated area? Who do you complain to if the music being played in the car is spilling explicit lyrics of profanity and sex.|||If you have a noise complaint call your local law enforcement. What is coming out of the speakers is irrelevant if it is noisy and your peace is being disturbed.
The fine depends on what local ordinances exist in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions have no specific noise ordinance or the ordinance is vague. That may require you to make a citizen's arrest for disturbing your peace, with the police being present of course.
As far as the noise emanating from a vehicle, there is a section in the California Vehicle Code 27007 which makes it illegal to operate or permit the operation of any sound amplification system which can be heard from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being operated on a roadway. The typical fine for this offense is $146 as listed in the Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule.
What you have described does not fit the criteria for 27007 VC.
I hope this information was helpful.|||it's considered a nuisance and disturbing the peace. Fines will never be big enough.

The car is currently registered to an extended family member who is giving me the car for school. He lives in North Carolina, I live in California, and I go to college in Pennsylvania. Is there any way for the car to be registered in California without it ever being in California? Or am I going to have to register the car in Pennsylvania (and surrender my California ID)|||Nope! To register a car in California it MUST pass a California emissions test, and that can ONLY be done in California. Be aware that Pennsylvania requires periodic vehicle inspections unlike California. It will also have to pass the Pennsylvania inspection.|||No. Any state would have to do a physical inspection of the VIN before registering a vehicle for the first time, and CA will require a smog certificate before you could register the vehicle. Just register it in PA and be done with it.
I want to move to California and im an amateur skateboarder. I want a good place to move in California for skateboarding.|||Probably San Diego or somewhere else in Southern CA. I'm not a skater though, but it seems like San Diego and SoCal in general have a more skater type culture down here than in Northern CA. And I just see more skaterboarders down here than back up north. And the weather is a lot better down here, doesnt rain nearly as much so you can skate outside more. There are also a good amount of skate parks in SD. And isn't Tony Hawk from SD? I would recomend SoCal over NorCal and San Diego over anywhere else.|||Monterey, or Santa Cruz.|||San Diego is the place to go.
I think it's ridiculous as none of their parents or themselves contributed to the system by paying taxes. California as a state is already in a financial deficit, yet, they allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition in contrast with the legal born citizens out of state.
There are some counter-arguments stating that they are our future physicians, lawyers, teachers, and world changers, but how is that possible when they are illegal? How will they be able to gain employment?|||California is pretty much owned by illegal immigrants. Don't worry, it will collapse under the weight of it's own stupidity within the next few years.|||are you ignorant? for your information Illegals DO pay their taxes yet they do not recieve any benefits from them! if these children want to further their education than whats wrong with that?

I'd also say that if you love San Francisco, it's very different there from southern California--San Diego, LA, or Santa Barbara. They are spread out cities with lots of sun. San Francisco is more compact, cooler weather, hillier.

I prefer to live in an good area with rent around 600-850 per month and a community that has mixed races. Great schools beaches, shopping area, city like not ghetto, urban community.|||Blythe|||You can't live near the beach for that rent, especially where there are jobs. $900 is the low end for a studio apartment in LA. (You're way off $$ even for a tiny house in an ok area.) You can likely find a studio in Glendale or Pasadena (both nice diverse communities) for $900, they're not near the beach, but you'll be working so you won't have much time to hang out on the beach anyway. You might not like what you find at that cost.
If you bump your budget up to over $1000, you might be able to find a studio in an ok area of Culver City/Palms, about 5 miles from the beach, but again, you might not be happy with what you find at that price. Anywhere in LA the neighborhoods tend to change block to block, sometimes a lot, so it's hard to look at apartment ads and know you found something great -- you're likely to find out that it's in a very sketchy area.

for a waterbed.
Can I just use my same sheets

The only thing that I can think of
is that they are sewn together at
the bottom.
Is the size or fit any different?|||My best guess--and that's all it is, a guess--is that your existing sheets should be fine. The only potential I see for problems is if the depth of the waterbed is substantially more than your existing regular mattress, so the waterbed requires deep pocket sheets that your old bed doesn't.
(We had that problem replacing an old bed with a new one of the same size--but so much deeper none of our bottom sheets would go on at all.)
You can always stitch them together if you prefer that. It would be easy.
I know a senior couple, (one is completely bed ridden), who rent an apartment. They have been told they have to move soon, but do not have the money. They are on Section 8 housing, but this does not pay for the first, last & deposit to move into a new rental. I was wondering if anyone knows of any organizations who could help with this expense. They live in California.|||The best thing to do is to contact the Department of Aging & Adult Services office in the county they live in. I have provided a link for you to the county listings for California. I work in one of the county Aging & Adult Services office and I know that here at ours we have Senior Information Specialists that have the names and numbers of many resources in the area for seniors.
It sounds like there may be more going on in this situation. With them being seniors, on section 8, and being evicted, they may need to contact a legal aid office also. The Senior Info. worker will be able to give more info. on free legal assistance for seniors also.
Also, if one of them is bed ridden, they may want to apply for In Home Support Services, if they haven't already. This can also be done through the same office and it pays for a provider to come in and assist them. The provider can be a relative, friend, neighbor, or someone can be referred to them.

My fiance and I are planning to visit California for our honeymoon. We would really love to do things like ride a motorcycle on the route 1, get on a show like The Price is Right, see some historic landmarks, and possibly see some movie stars. Where else do you suggest we visit? And which California airport is the cheapest to fly into?|||If you want historic landmarks, beautiful places to ride a motorcycle, and a romantic honeymoon, I have a suggestion:
Visit the California Gold Country - you could start out in San Francisco (where the 49ers often started), follow along the Sacramento River to Old Sacramento & Sutter's Fort, then go on up to Coloma where Sutter's man, James Marshall first discovered gold in 1848.
From there you can follow Highway 49 through the Sierra Nevada foothills in either direction to visit other towns, State parks, and sights that were important during Gold Rush days. (See http://www.discovernortherncalifornia.co鈥?/a> for some ideas)
It would be a beautiful trip to take if you're riding a motorcycle or driving a convertible, as I do!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding & have a "Happily Ever After"!|||May I suggest Santa Monica, California? With sunny days all year-around, beach at your fingertips and a quick drive to Los Angeles, Santa Monica is the ultimate destination for honeymooners. Options for Entertainment are limitless here, from fine dining to sizzling nightlife to celebrity spotting. Bayside District & Third Street Promenade is a place to see and be seen, featuring movie theaters, fine dining establishments, bars and nightclubs and intriguing street performances. Hollywood Walk of Fame is several miles away so are the other popular LA attractions. May I also suggest Holiday Inn Santa Monica if you have not booked your hotel yet? This property has been just renovated and is near downtown Santa Monica across form the beach. The staff is extremely accommodating and the concierge will give you the best tips on the area's attractions.

Have Californians gone crazy?|||For those who are not familiar with the story... it appears that the state of California will be forced to reduce crowding in its jails as a result of a lost lawsuit regarding health care (and mental health care) for inmates in these overcrowded facilities...
As for my thoughts on this as relates to laying off police officers - well, actually, if you release 57,000 inmates convicted of "victimless" crimes like possession of illegal drugs and prostitution, you might just save enough money housing these deadbeats to hire all of the layed-off cops back. The only down side is that moving these losers back out of jail and onto the well fare roles pretty well negates the financial benefits.|||Perhaps Californians should start by tossing illegals, I would expect there is plenty of $ to be saved there. Actually I'd bet 30% to 35 % of inmates are illegals.|||Once the weather gets better I am going to back to Laguna beach and try to forget how quickly this state is going to hell.|||Sounds good to me. I'm just glad I don't live anywhere near California. I think this just points out how screwed up the politicians and judges are in this country.|||Why were the inmates released? Maybe they were up for parole, or their sentences were up. A little more information?
I'm not saying that you are lying, I'm just tired of one-line questions that assert a claim but do nothing to support it.|||I think it's sinking time! No common sense there! It's all the celebs in Hollywood that are living in a fantasy world, while milking millions of people 'entertainment money. - what can I say?|||i do not know if that is true but if it is it might be a god day to get a concealed carry license.|||Cite your source.

My friend and I are going to move to California when we are out of high school. We would like to know the most affordable and tropical place to live in California? Please let me know thank you very much.|||I have lived in Los Angeles County my entire life. And I will be entirely honest with you, Affordable doesn't exsist in California. Tropical areas cost well into the $ millions. I have friends who live in Newport Beach, and there lot alone cost $3mill. My house in Downey "Which is not a nice area" is only about 1200 square ft. With a backyard and pool, and it cost me $800,000. The cost of living is insane. So if you plan to move anywhere in California thats nice and tropical, find a good job. Because your going to have to work really hard to make enough to live.
Also, do not live in the biger cities. I wish I never was born in LA. Its impossible to escape. IT tok my parents nearly 18 years to make the money to get out of here. So if you move here, expect to stay here. I would say that the areas sourounding San Deigo are the cheapest tropical places your going to find.|||want to tropical place and affordable? only desert area in SoCal such as riverside, lancaster, yucca valley
Marijuana will almost undoubtedly be legalized in California within 5 years. When it is, do you think it will be easy to profit off of a small business selling weed, and other commodities? Very open ended question, lets hear some feedback, and maybe a little economic detail.|||I doubt the gov will allow anyone to do small business. The only reason these medical centers are thriving is because they aren't competing with the gov because the gov still makes it illegal. Although the dea will bust up one of the shops every once in a while.
When it's legal most of us will just be growing to personal use. They'll prob only let you sell if you have a license, but you know how much those licenses are going to cost. Plus they'll tax you a bunch wherever they can.|||When it is legalized pretty sure crime rate will fall down, and I think people would just grow one for their selves instead of buying one well in Amsterdam there is a certain rule for marijuana yes it is legal there but individuals must grow one for their selves buying is prohibited as well as selling|||Do you honestly think that the state of CA won't have strict regulations to control the sale and tax the sh*t out of it so no one makes money but the government? Plus anyone who got through that would have all the illegal growers and operators that already have a market advantage and would do some pretty bad stuff to protect their interests. It would be like the wild west all over again when the gangs start trying to protect their existing business interests.|||It is legal in CA. Still illegal at the federal level. As a result, counties are, for the most part, prohibiting it. It is very easy to start a business. It is difficult to succeed.|||Marijuana is still illegal at the Federal level.

My parents asked me if i can help them drive on some part of the way from California to Texas and i recieved my permit a few months ago and dont want to lose it by just helping them drive in other states. We will be traveling through Arizona and New Mexico on our way if that helps anything.|||Yes, all states recognize learners permits from all other states. Most require you to follow all limitations spelled out on your license, as well as all limitations required for a similar permit in that state.
For example, if your permit limits your driving with only those over 25 and no driving at night time, and the other state requires those with a permit to only drive with their parents, you can only drive with your parents if they're over 25 (let's hope so) in the daytime. That may be a bad example, but you should get the idea!|||Only if the other state allows "foreign" permits. When I got my permit in new York I was not allowed to drive in new jersey at all.
State of California also needs to approve driving with a permit in another state. You need to check the driving manual|||Yes just follow the restrictions outlined from California and you can drive anywhere...|||As long as they are in the vehicle you should have no problem.
I am going to school in Minnesota and planning on doing the National Student Exchange in California for my senior year next fall, for one semester. These are my options so far:
California State, Northridge
California State, Chico
California State, San Bernardino
California State, Fresno
Sonoma State University
San Jose State University
Can anyone give any recommendations? All of these are in areas where I would want to be, I think, but I don't know the area very well. They also all have the majors I need. Also, on a side note, I'm not basing my decision on populations, either. So, basically, I would like to know which ones are maybe the nicest?|||Northridge and San Bernadino are in Southern California, which is crowded and smoggy, as far as I'm concerned. Fresno is in the middle of agricultural hell- it's ugly and flat. Chico is a total 'party school'. Sonoma State would be my pick. It's in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco, in a beautiful area near the 'wine country' and you will have access to the art in San Francisco, but it is more bucolic. San Jose is big and crowded, but it would be my second choice.

http://www.courtreference.com/California鈥?/a>
It really depends on the motion. Some 'emergency' motions have to be heard quickly. Otherwise your motion may get added to a very large stack on the judge's desk.
If there is a really long delay, it might be a violation of rules for judges, and you may be able to file a complaint. I suggest that you get legal advice before taking any action against a judge, especially one that is about to rule on your motion.

My parents recently gave my wife and I a minivan with low mileage but the biggest drawback is that both the driver and passenger airbags have already been deployed when my father hit a moving pole a few years ago.

Would you attempt to get this vehicle repaired.|||they can be repacked and it is not illegal but if your insurance company finds out your rates will go up. i would get them packed because that is a big safety feature and could save your life. for a while i am driving my parents minivan to high school until i have the money for a car of my own.|||Legality aside, NO vehicle should be driven until the airbags are replaced by a technician especially trained to do this.
Airbags are extremely important when it comes to personal safety when operating a motor vehicle. You NEVER know when an accident will happen. Every time you get behind the wheel, you are putting yourself in danger.
Airbags should NEVER be "repacked" or "reset". Once airbags have deployed, the entire airbag assembly has to be replaced. Trying to repack or reset does nothing to help prevent injury should another accident occur. There is no guarantee that the airbags will deploy a second time. They are designed for one-time use.
EMT
Just a note...seatbelts should be replaced as well, if you are in a collision in which the airbags deploy. Seatbelts, when strained to the maximum limit of velocity, may not work properly the next time, causing serious injury or death.
I was in a high velocity accident just over a month ago. Both airbags deployed and my seatbelt locked. All were replaced with manufacture equipment.|||In 1998, dual front airbags were mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and de-powered, or second-generation air bags were also mandated. This was due to the injuries caused by first-generation air bags that were designed to be powerful enough to restrain people who were not wearing seatbelts.
This is a national law............|||as far as I know airbags can be repacked. Theres nothing that says you cant drive a vehicle without airbags my car is 15 years old and wasn't even manufactured with airbags.
I went to college in Maryland for 4 years, but remained a California resident. While living in Maryland I earned nontaxed (scholarship) and taxed (but claimed exempt from state) income. I moved to Virginia and became a resident in August and earned only nontaxed (scholarship) income. Do I need to file as a resident or a non resident of California (or file at all)? Do I need to file as a part time resident of Virginia?|||While you were a CA resident, all income was taxable by CA regardless of where it was earned. Any income you earned in VA was also taxable there. You'd claim a credit on your CA return for the VA taxes paid.
In the years you were a CA resident you'll file a CA resident return and a VA non-resident return. In the year that you changed your domicile you'll file part-year returns in both states.
Keep in mind that if you return to CA when you complete your studies, CA may treat your change in domicile as a tax dodge and assess taxes on the income you earned in VA after you "changed" your domicile. CA is noted for doing this to students and military personnel.
I worked 7 months in California as a contractor. My employer is in Massachusetts but the client is in California. Based on the non-resident income tax form, only California source income is subject to income tax. I think my income is not based in California. Am I correct? My employer withheld CA income tax.|||In California, Wages and Salaries have a source where the service is performed. The location of the employer does not affect the source. So if the work was done in California, it's subject to California Income Tax.
See page 4,
http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/06_forms/06_鈥?/a>
See Form 587
http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/07_forms/07_鈥?/a>
Your company is required to withhold taxes from your paycheck if services are performed in California over $1,500, unless they have applied for and been granted a waiver from the Franchise Tax Board.
As a nonresident, you are taxed only on your income from California sources, including your income for services performed in California.
California allows a credit for taxes paid on income in another state, but being a resident of Texas, this wouldn't apply to you since Texas does not assess income tax.
"Wages and Salaries
Wages and salaries have a source where the services
are performed. Neither the location of the employer,
where the payment is issued, nor your location when you
receive payment affect the source of this income. A
resident must include on Schedule CA (540NR),
column E or Short Form 540NR, line 21 all wages and
salaries earned, regardless of where the services were
performed. A nonresident must include the income for
services performed in California.
Example 1 鈥?You are a resident of New York working
temporarily in California for a New York corporation.
Determination: Your income earned for services
performed in California has a California source. As a
nonresident, you must include this California source
income on Schedule CA (540NR), column E or Short
Form 540NR, line 21."
Individuals working or performing services within California are subject to CA income tax, even if their company does not withhold taxes from their pay. Individuals traveling on business trips are still subject to CA income tax rules if they are paid for services performed in CA during their temporary stay. If their income exceeds the minimum amount required for their filing status, they are expected to file a return and pay the tax due.
Don't feel bad about being subject to another state's income tax.

Smith, (following I-40) it is about 330 miles across Oklahoma, then about 200 miles across Texas, then about 375 miles across New Mexico, then about 360 miles across Arizona to the California state line.
Mid way would be about Santa Rosa, NM.
If you are using I-30, I-20 and I-10, from the Arkansas state line at Texarkana it is about 830 miles across Texas, 166 miles across New Mexico and about 400 miles across Arizona to the California state line.
Mid way would be around Van Horn, TX.
Of course both of these estimates assume one person starting from the same distance into Arkansas from the state line as the other is in California from that state line.
Or to be a physicist or for astrophysics careers? I'm currently a junior in high school and I've been wanting to have a career somewhere in the engineering field; yet, I am still contemplating what exactly I want to do in that field. Does anyone know what are the best colleges, or know how to get a list of colleges, in California that offer these kinds of majors? Thank you.|||UCLA has a very good engineering school
im hoping to go there for college|||UC Berkeley

I'm planning on moving to California and trying to become a professional actor. I'm 23 and my ultimate goal is to become a TV actor.
Every bit of advice I've gotten is pretty much the same, "You will need an agent." So what are some good agents in California that I could seek out and what work have they found, that makes them good?
I need names and why I should reach them out, and if possible, what to expect? Any advice would be VERY helpful.|||Go get a copy of the Ross Reports, it has a listing of agencies. It's impossible to list individual agents because, as an unknown, you aren't really going to get a say in the matter.
You're right you do need an agent, however unless you're SAG, you may find you have a hard time getting an agent to even give you the time of day. Remember this a business and these people see hundreds of headshots and resumes with professional experience come across their desk every day. What is going to make you stand out?
As far as what you should do, the very first thing would be to sign up for some classes. Second City, The Groundlings, Beverly Hills Playhouse, Howard Fine, Stella Adler, there are tons to choose from. Your second goal would be to become SAG. SInce it will be next to impossible to get any principal SAG work, you may have to go the voucher route and try to get in by doing extra work. Check out www.centralcasting.org
Now, no offense, but it really doesn't sound like you're ready for a move to LA, but if you're determined to go, do yourself a favor and learn as much as you can about the business. You need to really know the in's and out's, much more that you can learn asking questions here and there on a message board. Here are some suggestions for some reading material:

We are considering moving to Menlo Park, California. I don't work, my husband's pay is 1600$/week. I have a 10 month old baby. What is the normal (non-emegency) cost of weekly expenses (gas, groceries) there?|||I spend at least $150 a week on grocery's and gas is almost $4.00 a gallon now. I cook a lot from scratch, so that makes a difference, I suppose. It's the gas that is a killer though. I find myself bicycling a lot more these days and walking to the store too, if you can. Menlo Park has a lot to do there, so you will be active.|||I spend 75 dollars a week for my family of three in NE.
Im 17 I want to go on vacation to see my friend in california over summer so how much would it be for a plain ticket from clevland air port to San Diego California and how much spending money do you think I may need?? By the way I live in youngstown ohio! Help thank you.|||First off, I think you mean a "plane" ticket...as in "airplane".
Second, go to the websites of various airlines and price your flight. Or go to a site like Expedia.com or tripadvisor.com and price your flight.
As to the spending money part, California is fairly pricey. Your best bet would be to ask your friend how much to bring.
Have a good trip.|||A "plain" ticket for what? Or do you mean a "plane" ticket?
Too many variables to answer. Go to a travel agent, or use one of the on-line travel sites, input your parameters and you'll get a list of fares. Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, Kayak, etc. are good. The budget airlines won't be found there, though. You have to go directly to their websites to get fare quotes.|||It depends on where you are flying to or from. Plane tickets to Los Angeles are typically around 350 dollars per person. To California it goes from $300 to $500.
steal social security numbers, use welfare to bankrupt the state even more?

When you fill out the CA state income tax form just answer the questions and from what I understand from your question is you will qualify as a nonresident.|||Where did you physically do the work? If you worked from home in WA state, does the W-2 reflect this or not?|||If you had done the work in CA, or your W-2 said CA, then you would be required to file CA state taxes. Because you did the worked in WA and your W-2 says that, you do not have to file CA state taxes. The location of the company does not matter. The location where the work was done is what matters.|||what state is listed on the w2? I don't mean your address, I mean down on the bottom where it says state tax.

San Diego, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, Seal Beach, Long Beach, Malibu
The best for vacation in my opinion is Huntington or Newport since there are lots of hotels and they are in the middle of LA and San Diego. So you could drive to either in about an hour. (not that you need to, there is so much to do in thosee cities alone.)|||Santa Cruz is my absolute favorite place to go to the beach in Northern (Central really) California. Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles is awesome too. The beaches near San Diego are excellent, and the water is pretty warm in the heat of August, for the Pacific anyway.
I've never been to Venice Beach, Long Beach, Huntington Beach, or Laguna Beach though. I'm sure those would be fantastic too. Google all of them and find out!
Huntington Beach and Santa Cruz are the best for surfing by the way.|||Anything on the coast:). Big ones are San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, Newport Beach. San Diego is a great place; great beach and lots of things to do. You can spend a lot or a little. Frisco and Newport are a little pricey. Just do a search on beach cities in California and you should get plenty of good sites to check out.|||Keep in mind beaches in Northern California (Half Moon, Santa Cruz, etc) are much colder than those in Southern California. So for lounging and playing in the water, I prefer LA beaches.
Santa Cruz and Carmel are more scenic. Santa Cruz has a national park. In Carmel, the red woods go right up to the beach and it's beautiful.|||if your looking for a good vacation spot i would have to say laguna beach in orange county and stay at the montage resort its beautiful. Also there is hunington beach and newport beach they are all located in orange county.|||newport beach, california is best!! also, huntington beach, ca. is good!!|||santa cruz, monterey, caramel, san francisco, san diego|||For my money the best beaches here in Cali are in Oxnard, Ventura, and Malibu.

I also don't want it to be in a super busy city.|||L.A.!!!!! You can watch the los angelos lakers all day!|||Silver Strand. But it has a very strong "local only" presence. That would only mean something to you if you are a die hard surfer. Beach is great. Town is great. People are great. But most people commute to their jobs.|||Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, Morro Bay, Los Osos and Avila are nice, affordable and not too crowded.

I'm living in San Francisco, CA and I want to start my own production company but I'm current living at a temporary address there. I have a permanent address in Alabama but I'm not sure if starting my business there is a good idea because I know I one day want to move to California permanently. If I start my business in Alabama will there be anyway to move it to California one day? And is there anyway to start a business in a state you don't permanently live in?|||I agree with you that using your 'Bama address is not a good idea for doing business in California.
I disagree strongly that you need a business plan, market resarch, etc. You seem to have an idea of the direction you want to go in and business plans are over-rated. If they were important, then Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Walmart would have had them when they started. That's terrible advice from a self-proclaimed 'business advisor'. Let alone a top contributor.
If you have contacts, just go for it.
To answer your question, you can open a business in any state in which you do not live. You can do so legally as long as most of your business will be done in that state.
You can get a PO Box for about $88 bucks for 6 months, however you might want to consider spending a bit more and going to a MailBoxes Etc. or something similar, which allows you to use their address and your mailbox number as a suite number. This appears to others as a location and if you are working remotely, it really won't matter.
Additionally, if you have mail coming in and are still in Alabama, they will be able to send important things to you. You won't get that kind of service from a PO Box. They'll charge you for it, but so what!|||was in SF again last week. used to live there a zillion years ago.

Can a notary in California write a letter for a client then notarize the signatures on that letter for the client? A client needs a letter stating that she rents a room in a house in order to qualify her child to go to a certain school district. She wants me to write the letter for her and for me to notarize the signatures of her and the property owner. Yay or nay???? Would prefer advice from professional.|||When you notarize something you are not specifying that the item that was signed is true, you are saying that the signature of the person was put there by the person you saw sign it.
I do not know why she does not want to write her own letter but she can certainly hire someone to compose a letter for her and that person could be you.
Many school districts have form letters for this kind of thing. If every person going to school had to write their own letter, and get the landlord to sign it the school district would go batty trying to read all the different letters.|||The answer is NO!!! Notaries cannot prepare documents. That is considered the practice of law. They can also not determine the type of notarization required on a document.

I want to know how much a Plane ticket from Houston, TX to California, anywhere in California, is going to cost?|||$276.( Houdton - LAX) is the cheapest one way I could find with no info.
go to priceline.com & enter dep/arrvl date, etc|||Needless to say, the answer will vary depending on where and when you're going, and whether you fly non-stop or change.
American has some very cheap tix to San Diego, changing at Dallas-Fort Worth for $191. US Airways has tix to Los Angeles via Phoenix at $219, and to San Francisco at $269.|||A pair of round trip plane tickets to California from Houston will be around $1,000 total.
The story: We are residents of Tennessee. My job is domiciled in Memphis. My wife goes to California every summer to visit with family. While she is there, she would like to do a little fill-in work for her former employer. (She is a Dental Hygienist). If we file jointly, can California tax my wages?|||No, CA can only tax income earned in CA. If she has earned enough to be required to file a CA tax return, she should file a CA return as married/filing separate solely as to the CA income.|||They can't tax your wages directly, but they WILL use your wages in determining the rate that your wife's CA income will be taxed at. CA has a progressive income tax with rates that range from 0% to nearly 10%. If you file a joint CA return, your total income will be used in setting the rates that the taxable income will be taxed at.
If she files MFS in CA, her tax bill might be higher than if you file MFJ. You will need to figure it both ways in making that call. That assumes that CA allows a different filing status from federal. They do in the case of RDPs but may not in the case of married opposite-sex couples.
I don't plan to purchase a motorcycle for another few years when I've saved up enough money, but I would like to get my motorcycle license by taking a class and passing the written test.

I don't want it to expire before I purchase a motorcycle. Thanks in advance.|||Start at the link below. It was real easy to find. All I did was open a window for my search engine, then type in "california motorcycle license information" and POOF! There it was!|||if you get your M1 liscence, it is just an endorsement on your regular Class C liscence. Meaning that it expires the same time as your regular liscence.
you shouldnt have to retake the skills test, but just like renewing your regular liscence, you may need to take at least part of the motorcycle dmv written test. but i have yet had to renew mine, so im not sure on the motorcycle part.
also, remember that when you go to get your M1 endorsement, you also have to renew your class C liscence at that time, meaning you will need to take half of the written test for regular class C. i didnt know that when i went to get my M1 and failed that part the first time. xP

They have a system of voting on referendums and the conservatives didn't want to pay for the education of poor and hispanic children so they consistently voted down spending on education. In fact they have a history of voting down spending and taxing. In a state with almost constant natural emergencies this isn't a bright idea.
Its not this liberals on this, who recognized the need for more money, its the conservatives who don't understand that bills will come in, costs will go up, and money needs to pay for it.|||You have a Republican Governor running that state that is why they are in the **** hole look what happened to the rest of The U.S.A.After 8 years of republican leadership.Bush sank us in the hole by giving tax cuts to the rich and starting wars that have lasted for 9 years paid with your tax dollars and Bush that Republican moron left a mess for Obama to clean up.And bush that little weasel flew in on an F-15 fighter jet on an aircraft carrier and declared "Mission Accomplished".Yet his war is still being fought.I hope that evil bas(turd) along with Republicans rott in hell!

Minimum personal, safety and space requirements are required by law. Foster parents work with social services staff to determine the type of child best suited for their home
Foster parents receive a monthly payment to feed, clothe and meet the material needs of the children placed in their care.

In california we have the largest and one of the most inexpensive college systems in the world. We could easily be agriculturally independent. We pay much more into the federal tax system than we receive!

Spelling seceded?|||ha, those cheap colleges have done nothing for your "education".|||Succeeded doing what? (I think you mean "seceded")|||I wish you would, you guys would be nothing without interstate trade|||I agree! Go! But you have to take Pelosi with you or the deal is off.|||won't happen, because too many people are suckling at the federal teat.

You guys can have Mexico too. And along with that you get all of the Hollywood morons who help screw up this country. I'm sure Barbara Striesand and George Clooney would be happy to help your cause.

Im planning on taking my girlfriend to california in a month or so. We were talking about going to a theme park and the beach. I just don't know what theme park to go to. We are both 19 if that matters lol. But can anyone tell me which is the best or which one you recommend? Thanks|||I would recommend choice 1) or 2) depending on what your "style" is.
1) Six Flags Magic Mountain for thrill rides, absolutely. It has monster roller coasters and a water park. It's adrenaline junky type fun. X2 and Terminator are just a couple of the most extreme rides in the country.
2) Disneyland/California Adventure is not as "thrilling" but it is still fun and in a way, it is more romantic. You can go on some rides that are fun (like Pirates of the Caribbean or Indiana Jones) but don't scare you or might make you toss your lunch. Disneyland also has a nice, classy atmosphere and a good fireworks show. The people that work there treat you fantastic. It still has some thrilling rides like the Tower of Terror, California Screamin' and the Maliboomer. Plus, it has some decent restaurants, although the prices are steep. It can get crowded, but if you relax and don't get impatient, it's really enjoyable. You just have to accept that it's busy.
3) Knott's Berry Farm is OK, but it doesn't have as many great rides as Magic Mountain and it doesn't have as much charisma as Disneyland. It is a good park with a variety of rides and things to do, but nothing like the first two I mentioned. I haven't been to the water park, but several people have told me it isn't that great.
4) Universal Studios is only average IMO. It's barely worth going to. There are only a few rides. The shows are decent and some things are kind of outdated. I think they are replacing some of it, though. Backdraft was neat, but old. Waterworld? Interesting, but the movie wasn't exactly a box office smash. The most entertaining "ride" is really a simulator (The Simpsons). The mummy ride was too short.|||Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia California definitely. Six Flags Magic Mountain has 17 amazing roller coasters, and a water park. I highly recommend buying a Flash Pass Gold or Platinum for 2, so you can make the best out of your day. Also, I recommend going on a week day if you do not want to buy the flash pass. The Flash Pass makes your wait time much less so you get to go on more rides in less amount of time.
DisneyLand is way overrated and doesn't have many good rides and Knotts Berry Farm is very fun but not as good as Six Flags.
Have fun!|||It depends on where in Cali you are going to. If in So. Cal you should totally go to 6 Flags Magic Mountain. It has THE best rides in Cali, it's close to the beach (it's in Valencia), and if you want a great lunch, drive 15 minutes west to Saugus, CA and go to Tim Tom's hot dogs.
If you're going further south then hit up Knots Berry Farm. Avoid Disney Land. You're 19, not 9 ;)
If you're going to be in the Bay area go to Great America in Santa Clara, or head north for an hour and hit up 6 Flags Marine World in Vallejo.|||Six Flags if you want to have fun with rides and attractions.
Disneyland if you want it to be a memorable date and especially romantic at night.|||knott's berry farm in Buena Park.

It's cold right now, about 48 degrees at night, and about 60 during the day with NO snow. However, travel up to the mountains and right now they are having quite a bit of snow. In a few weeks i hear that they will be having ALOT of snow.|||I am not so sure. Well, in the north part of California, it may snow normally. In the middle of the state it can be okay. Like a little snow I bet or often sunny. In the southern part it is hot and sure doesn't snow. Although I am just guessing, I didn't go to california yet. Closer to the equator, the hotter it'll be.|||Every part of California gets a different amount of precipitation. And yes it does snow there. In high elevations of up to 9000 ft. It is rare in urban areas but you might find snow in areas where there are mountains as California has many mountains!|||It depends on whether you're referring to Northern or Southern California. Southern California doesn't snow at ALL unless you are in the mountains. Northern California snows occasionally.
How cold does it get in California during the winter, and where in California is it coldest? Please help! It's for a story I am writing.|||california is a huge state so it greatly varies. i live in northern california near san francisco. our winters are pretty mild with temperatures hardly ever getting below 40 but usually between 40-50 degrees. sometimes will be below freezing but not for more than a few days at a time. but there are mountains that reach well below freezing and have snow on them for a while|||Funny you say that...I looked up this question and it directed me to this page because I, as WELL, am working on a story I'm writing and I need this information for it!

|||Aww man we get a beautiful a winter in California. It fluctuates daily from 50-30 degrees its so nice though. Were lucky to get the cold days where it sunny and the the dark cold days haha I'm probly not makin any since but it gets really cold in cali-4-nia :-)|||California has mountain peaks that are around 14000 feet. They would get really really cold. So I would say the top of Mt. Shasta might be the coldest place. Just a guess though.|||In SoCal I lived in a town called Pine Mountain Club, CA 93222.
The coldest it got at my house way -1.4 degrees.

Someone asks which city in the Bay Area has good schools.
Someone asks which airlines are cheap to fly within California.
Every single time, at leas 2-3 answers will somehow manage to tie in illegal immigrants.|||I don't. I point out that pretty much everything in that state is upside down and backwards, hence the term "Land of Fruits and Nuts".|||Why wouldn't they? California Pays Billions for illegal immigration now they want us to pay their bill because they can't. They should talk about all the Union assholes getting paid big on the public dime those ***** want us to pay for too.
I was born in Califuckya, love to live there but the majority people are such pieces of ****. The attitude there is idiot asshat central|||Due to the fact the area has millions or illegal immigrants.|||Because the state is overrun.|||Because like Obama they are also undocumented workers|||illegal immigration|||Because California is part of mexico!|||Have you ever been there. Go there and then ask this.|||I thought they'd bring up taxes.
How do they tax illegals?|||Have you been there? I moved out about four months ago never to return.|||Picking on minorities makes conservatives feel warm and fuzzy.
I am renting out my condo in Southern California on a month to month basis. The place will be sold soon, and I have verbally notified the tenant of this in the beginning of this month, but I'd like to put it in writing, do I need to give him 30 or 60 days? And does it commence at the sining date or verbal notification?|||it should be written into the terms and conditions of your lease agreement. If you bought a standard contract from an office supply store, check that section. If you have your own contract without terms and conditions, double-check with an attorney, but without plain english, neither of you are under any obligation for any set time frame.
As for a verbal notification, that only counts if you're both in front of a judge and you both acknowledge it to be fact. Put it in writing with a signature and date, or you are at risk. good luck.|||As of 1/1/2007 you have to give him 60 days writen notice on a request to vacate.|||30 days notice is required it the tenant has been there less than a year and 60 days if the tenant has been there over a year.
The notice MUST be in writing to be valid.|||The internet is a terrible place to get legal advice. People like me with a little information and perfectly good intentions can really steer you wrong.
That said, here's a best-guess:
In New York, where I live, the landlord can terminate a month-to-month lease by giving written notification one month from the date the lease will end. Nothing said verbally counts, regardless of witnesses.
So if you want your tenant to vacate by August 1st, you need to deliver the paperwork no later than June 30. July 1st is too late. To prove the tenant received the notice, mail it by certified mail, return receipt requested. It costs a couple bucks.
California is moving the first of a reported 5,000 state prisoners to other states because its prisons are bulging at the seams. There are over 173,000 prisoners in facilities designed for fewer than 100,000. California has the highest percentage of prisoners to population in the U.S. (outside of Texas), it has the high recidivism rate, due to a lack of rehabilitation, and the highest percentage of parole violations.
Does anyone else find this distressing and ridiculous? What are the possible solutions?|||This is a common practice in many states. It is also common with in states. Talk to the ACLU, they are the ones that have instigated this because they wouldn't want a convicted criminal in prison to be crowded.|||It's a matter of safety and the U.S. Constitution for everyone - inmates, prison guards, doctors and nurses. The feds have threatened to take over California prisons if the state doesn't get it under controMF I guess they will, then we'll see how the state reacts. Report Abuse
|||Dangerous criminals are moving to our little town, it's easy to see their walk/style/mannerisms and it is so obvious they moved from a different state to ours because now they are ex-cons with a clean state criminal record. It's about time our states combine convicts criminal records as ONE Report Abuse
|||Since over 25% of their population are illegals, then it seems to me that stopping the illegals from coming over the border will go a long way in reducing the overcrowding conditions.|||the solution is to execute more of the jackasses that are in and out of prison regularly|||Yes prisons should'nt be so comfortable . Any one over ten years gets euthanized.|||Rehabilitation is a liberal myth ...
It does not exist...
If the person does not wish to return to prison, he stops doing crime
Paying other states to house prisoners seems like a good idea.
What is the problem with that ?|||Well, hey, let's let 'em all out! Just read the UK papers for a couple of weeks to see how ridiculous they're doing things over there. They sentence a man to a life term for raping a baby which really boils down to 8 years, out in 4. And surprise! He rapes another baby! It's Politically Correct insanity. As far as rehabilitation goes, it's never been done successfully, not with one serious offender. You don't rehabilitate a rapist, a murderer, an arsonist, a child molester. Flat impossible. My favorite question that I ask my bleeding heart liberal friends is: if the child rapist gets out of prison after being "rehabilitated", would it matter if he moved in next door to you? He's gonna move next door to somebody. How about you? How about a "rehabilitated" murderer? A "rehabilitated" arsonist. A "rehabilitated" common rapist? He's moving into some neighborhood. Do you mind if he lives on your street? Think about it. The answer is to start executing some of these knuckleheads who are guilty beyond all possible doubt. One hundred years ago in this country we hung men who raped women. I can find no fault with that.|||Sounds like you believe in Rehabilitation... Soft, fuzzy jails do not solve recidivism it compounds the problem.. Who would ever leave a system where you are fed three great meals a days and are never punished for negative behavior.. Actually rewarded for negative behavior...Come to Canada and see how it works..They have been doing the nice fuzzy wuzzy for twenty years and rate of reoffending is the the same as 1970.. But we keep trying , this way all kinds of people get great paying jobs in the system on the guise of treatment..We let these inmates out early to give them a chance (that way you keep the count in the jails down) so you dont have to build new jails, and you can fool the taxpayer, all the while making sure friends, relatives and children get good jobs in a system no one expects anymore than 80 percent failure from the inmate...GREAT GIG.... FAILURE FACTORIES.. I guess you want a program job in the jail.|||Easy enough, it will temporarily ease the burden on our prisons. We need to start excuting them.

I worked in california last summer, and had to pay their income tax, i am supposed to get 79 dollars back. i filled my taxes in late febuary and am still waiting to this day.|||call the state and ask for a refund status. It should not have taken this long which leads me to believe that it may have been lost in the mail or not processed correctly. I don't live in CA so I'm not sure but typically 8 weeks is the max time for a refund to be processed. I work at a tax firm and in my state, the suggested time is 2-6 wks if you are receiving it in the mail (vs direct deposit) but even 8 weeks you should have received it by now. Call the CA department of revenue or you may be able to check the status directly online...|||Give???
You're suppose to pay taxes?
What for; breathing polluted air, drinking fouled water, getting ulcers from listening to all the lies and BS that come down from the Bushes??
I think rather not!|||You should have received it in 6 to 8 weeks. You need to write a letter to the California Revenue board and find out where your refund is. Good luck|||Go to www.ftb.ca.gov and choose "Check your refund."
I'm watching 30 days, Morgan Spurlocks show, and he did one show about guns. The guys in Ohio I beleive, have a permit to carry a consealed firearm. How does that work in California?|||It depends on where you live in California. California's concealed carry law is "may issue," which means whether a given person gets one or not is entirely up to the whim of their local chief law enforcement officer (Chief of Police or Sheriff). Some jurisdictions hand them out like candy. Many don't issue at all. Some are in between. In a few, I'm told, you can get one by making a $5000 contribution to the Sheriff's re-election campaign fund.
If you do manage to get one, it's valid throughout the state, so far, but only your local CLEO can issue to you.
It is technically legal to openly carry an unloaded handgun in a holster. If you try it, the local law enforcement officers will likely find many other ways to make your life miserable. It's a stupid thing to do anyway. In California, "unloaded" means "no ammunition usefully available." There are few things less useful and more dangerous to their possessor than an openly carried, unloaded handgun. They don't even make good clubs.|||Your state conceaed carry is "may issue" which means unless you got connections or are famous or a politico or aid to one your **** out of luck. Even if you do every requirement they ask of, pass every class, every test, they will still deny you. The entire state give out 500 a year. out of what, 60+ million people.
Ohio Is "shall issue" which means after you pass the 12 hour or so class you have to go through you get a certificate, you mail it with a copy or 2 (a lot of states are doing 2 because there are so many applications coming in) to the state attorney general (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and after 2-3 months you get your CCW.
Open carry is prohibited for the most part in your state, there are excpetions. Only some places and the gun needs to be unloaded with magazine separate. Open carry in many state is you have a gun in a proper holster, visible, and it can be loaded. Can't carry in government buildings, schools, 1000' of the school (though no one has ever been to court if they have been caught unless they were arrested for something else) or to any buisnesses that put the defenseless victim sign on their window.|||Why would you ever need or want a firearm in the People's Paradis of Kalifornia? I am told it is the absolute perfect society. Because nobody is allowed to have guns - there is no murder, rape, robbery or problems with drugs.
Me - I live in Alaska. We have no gun laws. No permits. Anything the feds allow, we allow. Ok, there is one - you can't carry a concealed firearm into a courthouse or state building.|||California law allows the open carry of an unloaded handgun, but in much of the state I suspect you would spend a great deal of time discussing the law with officers. Concealed carry permits may be issued at the discretion of the sheriff of the county in which you reside. As I recall, the permit is only valid in that county.|||This site is about open carry in california http://www.californiaopencarry.org/faq.h鈥?/a>
And this one is about US Hand gun laws http://www.handgunlaw.us/
HOPE IT HELPS YOU|||it really does suck in this state.|||I thought it was illegal unless you are something like a cop or fbi
A new question on this year's California tax return. They want to know if the taxpayer has bought anything from another state over the internet or the phone, etc. during the last year. How are they going to find out if a person had bought anything since no social security number was given and tracked, and how are they going to tax on the e-commerce? Wasn't it ruled that interstate e-commerce taxes were sanctioned in a federal court some years ago?|||i think you are just supposed to be honest, they have no way of actually knowing, although they are working on it, so it wont be long
We are planning to move to California in about a year and we want to find the ideal place for us. We want to live close to the beach, the farthest about 20 min away, but somewhere that is real green and tropical. Any ideas? Thanx in advance!|||If you're looking for tropical, you should try Hawaii or Florida. California is not at all a tropical state.
I have seen a great deal of the state of California (mostly the souther half) and have never seen any parts that were green and tropical. So. CA is very dry and even desert like. It is also highly populated with little to no green spaces left. I mostly saw houses upon houses built on just about every square inch of land. Northern CA is equally as populated, but the temperatures are cooler. San Fran is a pretty city, but it's certainly not tropical. Also, if you want to live any where close to a beach in the state of CA be prepared to pay at least $800K for a home.
Good luck! |||Good luck with that, So. Cali beach area towns are not green and tropical. They are mostly brown from heat and dry conditions and lots of smog from the large cities.
whats it like there if you live their or have ever been there? i rerally want to move there when i get out of hight school and go to UCLA but ive never been thre....? thanks(:|||For a number of reasons, we get a bunch of questions asking what it’s really like in SoCal.
First of all, I'll tell you what it's NOT like: It's not like anything on TV. People watch shows on TV and think that’s what it’s like out here. The “Real OC”, Newport Beach, The Hills, etc. Ever wonder why people in those shows never have to pay bills, do laundry, and are NEVER stuck in traffic? Because it’s FAKE. And the news doesn’t help either, since they know that sex and sensationalism sells. News flash: There aren’t running gun battles in the street. There aren’t shootouts every day. Also, you don’t see celebrities just walking down the street, all glammed up, or sipping a cappuccino at Starbucks waiting to sign autographs. We don't go surfing during lunch hour.
Some sections are REALLY nice, others are “ghetto”. Too many people have this vision in their head that LA and Orange County are one or the other (either Beverly Hills or Compton). They either think it is a fairy tale fantasy or an apocalyptic ghetto. In fact, most of it is working class and middle class stiffs working to pay the bills. Like me.
The variety of food here is incredible. New Yorkers come here and complain that the pizza is terrible (it’s not as good as NY Pizza), but the Mexican food is GREAT here. That more than makes up for it.
The weather here is incredible. 340+ days of sunshine makes up for a lot of traffic.
You NEED a car to live in Southern California. We don’t have an effective public transportation like New York or San Francisco. One reason is that LA is larger in area than either of those, without a central hub. Hollywood is 8 miles north of downtown, and 38 miles north of Disneyland. Average commute is 20-30 miles..
The freeway traffic is probably the worst thing about living here. The 405 is the worst. Know why they call it the 405? Because you go 4 o' 5 miles per hour, and it takes 4 o' 5 hours to get where you're going. Freeway Traffic is bad from 6-10 AM and bad from 3-7 PM. I don't know why they call it rush hour. It's more than an hour, and nobody's rushing, that's for sure.
The gangs are the cause of many rumors. Keep in mind that there are gangs in any large town, in every part of the country. In LA, the gangs aren't really downtown, they are in South LA, East LA, and north Long Beach. And here's the deal: Mostly, they just kill each other.
Gas is expensive in California. It’s about 20-30 cents above the national average.
Yes, gas and real estate are very expensive in SoCal. However, this would be the best time to BUY a house because it's a buyer's market right now. There are a lot of foreclosures, and too many houses on the market. If you want to rent, figure on $1200 per month for a 1BR in a decent neighborhood. You need to make about $30,000 per year in order to do that. You can't do it on minimum wage.
Yep, freeways are a drag, it's smoggy in summer, and expensive to live here. Yet, if it's so bad, why do we have thousands and thousands of people moving here? Weather, year-round activities, jobs, beaches, mountains, and deserts all within driving distance, and plenty of opportunity for those who have the skills and tenacity.
However, it is not for everyone. Every time someone posts this question, you get the LA haters who post their bile and venom. A lot of them don’t know what they are talking about. Some people never even visit, and hate it on principle and stereotypes. Some actually visited once, and found out it wasn’t like it was on TV, and it certainly wasn’t Mayberry. And some actually lived here, and couldn’t deal with the expense, the traffic, or the somewhat impersonal nature of living in a large metropolis. It’s just the lifestyle here: People want their own private space. It’s sort of “you do your thing, I’ll do mine”. To those hateful souls I would say “good luck” to you wherever you are, but please don’t spew your hatred in this forum.
To summarize, it’s a HUGE metropolis that really defies easy description. I live in one of the nicer suburbs, but the commute is no fun, often 1-2 hours each way each day. However, 340+ days of sunshine really helps. Yeah, it's expensive. Mrs. Obviousman and I both have to work to pay the mortgage. But is it worth it? Absolutely!|||i live in the bay area in cali. one thing youll instantly notice when you get here is DIVERSITY, all kind of race is here. the weather is also fairly nice over here.

and opinions! is it expensive to go and buy things eg.pair of shoes? xxx|||Depending on where you go in California, I live in the middle...up north it is cold in Oct. if you go by the coast it is beautiful and not that expensive..where I live you are 2 hours from the great sequioa mts and 2 hours from the ocean..both are not really expensive and have alot to offer...the weather is cool mid 60's around that time of year..as you go over the mtn to Los Angeles area it gets way more expensive and packed with humans..everywhere, but you have several places to see including Disneyland in Anahiem..which is cooler, the beaches down there are dirty and expensive in most places...until you get down to the bottom of Calif. in San Diego..which is warm, all year round, expensive and beautiful, but you have the zoo and seaworld in the same town..a good way to see Calif is to take the amtrack train all the way to San Diego..it is inexpensive and you can get on and off when you want to explore...you can go to amtrack on the web and see all the prices..there are lots of ways to make it cost less in Calif...also keep in mind the weather here is changing and the summers are staying longer...have fun and enjoy...

It's hot, really really hot. Our summers are awful! Our winters aren't much better. I don't care for the weather, but I like cool weather. OC is cooler than the IE, though, so I like it much better.
It's not what most people think. Just because I can get to LA in an hour or so doesn't mean I have movies stars living next door. You already knew that, though.
Life in CA is pretty much like life anywhere else. Our weather is warm and we're surrounded by overrated big cities. I'm sure LA has it's nice parts, but I can't find them. The MacDonalds in Beverly Hills is no nicer than the MacDonalds anywhere else. San Diego is cool, though.
Unless you live in Arizona or Nevada, you'll discover the awesomeness of In-N-Out and Tommy's. Two great fast food resturants. In-N-Out has the best hamburgers on the planet.

鈾?Abbey|||Cause Arnold S is stupid
For gliders i'm not sure. But with ferrets it's because they claim them to be "wild animals" and if let go in the wild they would reproduce like rabbits. Thing is, most ferrets are neutered and spayed from a super young age. And if a ferret were to be let out into the wild, it would not survive more then a couple days.
what is there to do in hollywood ,california when your on vacation?|||There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my top ten list:
Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can鈥檛 be wrong. (Sometimes it seems all at once)
Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. And Universal City Walk is a fun place to hang out in the evening after your day inside the park.
Hollywood: Hollywood Boulevard is ready for its close-up, thanks to years of urban renewal and renovation. Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood & Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards). I also like the El Capitan theater, because it has been restored to its former glory.
Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something.
Venice Beach: Los Angeles kitsch and over-the-top culture at its best. Here you'll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. And it's a short bike ride from Santa Monica Pier.
Santa Monica Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. (The Sting and "Three's Company" come immediately to mind). After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach.
Santa Monica Third Street Promenade - Downtown Santa Monica's shopping promenade is often the scene of movie star-sightings. Just a short walk from the Santa Monica Pier.
Sunset Boulevard: Perhaps one of the world's most famous streets, it began as a route between the stars' posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the "Sunset Strip" on its way. It makes for a fun drive. Along the way, you see a lot of different neighborhoods: Hollywood, West Hollywood, Bel Air, and Pacific Palisades. When you get to the ocean, stop at Gladstone's for Fish.
Queen Mary: Once the largest ship afloat, she's been docked in Long Beach for longer than she sailed, and her elegance never fails to impress. Free to visit. You can actually stay on board, for a price.
Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, The Grove and Farmers Market coexist. Enjoy a movie or shopping, and then take the trolley to the Farmers Market for lunch or dinner. It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping "The Price is Right". You might even get in.
TAAB: The Americana at Brand- The newly opened TAAB, developed by the same group that gave us The Grove, breathes new life into Glendale, and gives all those hip people in Eagle Rock and the eastern half of LA a great place to go.
Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage.
Getty Museum - The Getty's architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art or architecture better (or maybe you'll just enjoy the view), the Getty is sure to please. Free.
Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It's very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show with Jay Leno. Check the NBC web site for all the details there.
Wicked at the Pantages Theater- Located in the heart of Hollywood, this is an excellent and long running production, the most POPULAR show in LA right now.
Places to eat:
In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.
Pink鈥檚 Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe.
Tommy鈥檚 Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly & Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.
Canter鈥檚 Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly & Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity.
Phillippe鈥檚: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, it鈥檚 hot.
The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs.
Places to Stay:
Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim.
In Hollywood, I recommend the Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood and Highland, the Best Western Sunset Plaza, or the Holiday Inn Walk of Fame.
In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced.
In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. If you want to splurge and make this a most memorable trip, stay at Disney鈥檚 Grand Californian. You get the full Disney experience.
Places to Shop:
Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica

Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can鈥檛 be wrong. (Sometimes it seems all at once)
Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. And Universal City Walk is a fun place to hang out in the evening after your day inside the park.
Hollywood: Hollywood Boulevard is ready for its close-up, thanks to years of urban renewal and renovation. Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. You can see a lot for free. The Hollywood & Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards).

In Northern Calfornia, you should see San Francisco's Golden Gate, and awe-inspiring Yosemite Valley.|||san francisco|||For a really different vacation experience, spend a day in Death Valley. There is nothing else like it in the U.S.|||How long are you going to be there? It can take a couple weeks or more to see everything worth seeing in California. I am biased, but I love San Diego. If you're going to be there before the 4th of July, go to the Del Mar Fair. I'd also recommend checking out the Hotel Del Coronado. It's really cool and right on the beach.
Have fun on your vacation.|||Big Sur! The most spectacular stretch of coastline anywhere is along the central Cal. coast. Highway 1 winds along cliffs dropping to the ocean and through the redwoods ending on the north end at Carmel and to the south at San Simeon (home of Hearst Castle). If you want stunning mountain scenery with smaller crowds, Mt Lassen Natl Park is amazing. Lake Tahoe is another favorite. Just remember, California is a huge state and there is so much travel time from place to place, you really need to pick an area where you are going to be and explore around there. From the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to Napa and the redwoods is a long way.|||California is huge, over 10 hours drive from southern most tourist destination (San Diego) to northern most (Napa Valley). So pick your base and explore the area, but unless you can budget at least 2 weeks, don't plan on covering most of California.
That said, it is possible to cover most of southern California in 1 week:
- 1.5 to 2 days in San Diego (zoo/safari, Legoland/Seaworld)
- 1 day in Anaheim (Disneyland)
- 2 days in Los Angeles (Universal Studio, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Blvd, Malibu, etc.)
- 1 to 2 days in Santa Barbara/Solvang
Add another week for northern California:
- 1.5 to 2 days in San Francisco (Noe/Haights Ashbury, Twin Peaks, Pier 39/Ghirardelli Square, Chinatown/Union Square)
- 1 day in Napa/Sonoma (wine country)
- 1 to 1.5 days in Carmel/Pebble Beach/Monterey/Big Sur
- 1 day in greater San Francisco (Berkeley, Marin/Sausalito, Muir Woods)
- 1 to 2.5 days in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and/or Kings Canyon/Sequoia Redwoods national parks (Muir Woods near San Francisco can serve as a "mini" redwoods park if these are too far to drive)
- 0.5 day in Silicon Valley (Palo Alto/Stanford, Google, Apple, Intel museum)
At the risk of generalizing, southern California is more friendly to younger crowds with many theme parks and man-made things to see. Northern is more geared toward older crowds, with wineries and greater "outdoorish" options.|||California is a VERY big state. It takes a day to drive from San Diego to San Francisco. But start North in Napa, go to SF, then head to LA (drive along PCH) and then to SD. I think CA's best asset is its beautiful coast line and weather.
Have a good time
i Always wanted to live in cali but,
i aways hear people say its not really the way people think it is,
what do they mean bye that? also if anybody could tell me about california it would be Great|||when i go out of CA people always ask me if i know a movie star...not all of california is hollywood people|||For a number of reasons, we get a bunch of questions asking what it’s really like in Los Angeles.
First of all, I'll tell you what it's NOT like: It's not like anything on TV. People watch shows on TV and think that’s what it’s like out here. The “Real OC”, Newport Beach, The Hills, etc. Ever wonder why people in those shows never have to pay bills, do laundry, and are NEVER stuck in traffic? Because it’s FAKE. And the news doesn’t help either, since they know that sex and sensationalism sells. News flash: There aren’t running gun battles in the street. There aren’t shootouts every day. Also, you don’t see celebrities just walking down the street, all glammed up, or sipping a cappuccino at Starbucks waiting to sign autographs. We don't go surfing during lunch hour.
Some sections are REALLY nice, others are “ghetto”. Too many people have this vision in their head that LA is one or the other (either Beverly Hills or Compton). They either think LA is a fairy tale fantasy or an apocalyptic ghetto. In fact, most of it is working class and middle class stiffs working to pay the bills. Like me.
You NEED a car to live in Southern California. We don’t have an effective public transportation like New York or San Francisco. One reason is that LA is larger in area than either of those, without a central hub where everything is. Back in the 1960’s, we might have done it. But by the time local governments got their act together, it was much more difficult to make a working public transit system. Also, unlike NY, we have earthquakes, which make it a little more difficult to build underground.
The freeway traffic is probably the worst thing about living here. The 405 is the worst. Know why they call it the 405? Because you go 4 o' 5 miles per hour, and it takes 4 o' 5 hours to get where you're going. Freeway Traffic is bad from 6-10 AM and bad from 3-7 PM. I don't know why they call it rush hour. It's more than an hour, and nobody's rushing, that's for sure.
The gangs are the cause of many rumors. Keep in mind that there are gangs in any large town, in every part of the country. In LA, the gangs aren't really downtown, they are in South LA, East LA, and north Long Beach (an extension of the South LA gangs, actually). And here's the deal: Mostly, they just kill each other.
Gas is expensive in California. It’s about 20-30 cents above the national average.
Yes, gas and real estate are very expensive in SoCal. However, this would be the best time to BUY a house because it's a buyer's market right now. There are a lot of foreclosures, and too many houses on the market.
Yep, freeways are a drag, it's smoggy in summer, and expensive to live here. Yet, if it's so bad, why do we have thousands and thousands of people moving here?
Weather, Activities, Plenty of jobs, Beaches, mountains, deserts all within driving distance, and plenty of opportunity for those who have the skills and tenacity.
In colder parts of the country, people keep their cars in their garages all winter. Kids get snow toys for Christmas. Here, kids get BIKES, scooters, and skateboards. 10 AM Christmas morning, the streets are FULL of kids on their new bikes, scooters, etc.
The job market is good here, mainly because there are SO many people here that it creates its own job market. Then there are MANY industries, including tourism, entertainment, shipping, manufacturing, etc. It’s an incredible economy.
However, it is not for everyone. Every time someone posts this question, you get the LA haters who post their bile and venom. A lot of them don’t know what they are talking about. Some people never even visit, and hate it on principle and stereotypes. Some actually visited once, and found out it wasn’t like it was on TV, and it certainly wasn’t Mayberry. And some actually lived here, and couldn’t deal with the expense, the traffic, or the somewhat impersonal nature of living in a large metropolis. To those I would say “good luck” to you wherever you are, but please don’t spew your hatred in this forum.
As for lifestyle, it’s rather casual. You work during the week, and then go do something fun on the weekend, so that you can impress your coworkers around the water cooler on Monday.
To summarize, LA a HUGE metropolis that really defies easy description. I live in one of the nicer suburbs, but the commute is no fun, often 1-2 hours each way each day. However, 340+ days of sunshine really helps. Yeah, it's expensive. Mrs. Obviousman and I both have to work to pay the mortgage. But is it worth it? You bet!|||You always wanted to live in Cali or California? There's a difference between the two!!
I HONESTLY don't know why you want to come to CA. Here's a little detail of what's going on in LA.
As of right now, because of the economy, a job opening in Los Angeles is almost non existent. With the closings of Shoe Pavilion, Linens-N-Things, Mervyns, and Circuit City, it's going to be EVEN MORE difficult. Just recently the unemployment rate went from 9.4% to 10.1%!!
You will also need about $10,000 to start off.
Decent prices start at $1000 mo. for either an extremely small studio or a 1bd/1ba apartment if you're lucky. There is no such thing as $550 mo. here. A minimum waged job alone will barely pay the rent. Remember, you need to eat, you need water, gas, electric, personal hygiene, etc.
Bottom Line: Look elsewhere. In 3 months, you'll be back in your hometown with no improvement whatsoever.|||since everyone seems to be talking only about LA, ill ignore talking about it. Its really just a large city like any other. personally im not a fan at all.
Orange County is not like the OC. and they hate it when you call it that. there are parts in the southern part of the county like it but for the most part, its a nice place to live. there are lots of things to do and its pretty much in the middle of everything-not too far from the social events of LA but nice to live with alot of resources and things to do. primarily middle class. As you travel up the north coast,its absolutely gorgeous, and its definitely a laid back style. People say that Californians have a really casual style and its pretty much true. I didnt really notice this until i visited elsewhere. On a usual day, we dress wayyy more casual than say the east coast tends to. we do wear flip flops alot and as much as people dont want to admit it here, surf culture is around more than we realize. especially in san diego. californians think its cool to be "green" but in reality we arent all tree huggers. With the exception of the orange county bubble, most of the state is prettty liberal. Californians are extremely active in general. why wouldnt we be?theres so much to do and the weather is always nice. and in places in ca, it does snow. we border the sierra nevadas, which are really tall and get lots of snow. it rains in norcal and its sunny in socal but that doesnt mean either of those are always like that. the state side bordering az and nv is pretty much the armpit of the state,in my opinion. its barren and dry and there isnt much out there.
i love living in california, it is so different depending on where you go in the state. we arent hippie tree huggers that surf after work or school, but we tend to embrace the beauty of where we live.
i dunno if its true for the rest of the country as well, but in general, alot of the younger californians say "dude" and "like" way way way too much. i catch myself doing it all the time.|||Life in California is different from other places. But that is part of it's charm. It is true, that you should not base your conceptions of California on what you see on TV or in the movies. The OC for exapmle isn't anything like they portray it in the show. The Hills simply shows one tiny subculture in Laguna full of spoiled rich kids.
Your best bet is to visit. Live here for the summer. See if you like it, and then decide. Our weather is generally good. About 73 to 80 degrees most of the year. Sunny and warm. However we do have wet times of year or days where it is "cold". (It snows in higher elevations)
I have lived in California most of my life. (I lived in Japan for 2 years) I find that there are a LOT of superficial, materialistic and shallow people. But there are also a lot that aren't.
When it boils down to it, it isn't what you expect.....but it is a nice place to live. Lots of variety, lots to do....and VERY expensive. We have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation right now, the pay isn't all that wonderful in most jobs, the cost of living is insanely high (right now home prices for a decent neighborhood in a decent school district will run you at LEAST 300K....and a 2 bedroom apartment will not cost you less than 1000/month) and don't get me started on Traffic! I live in Orange County (about 10 miles from Disneyland) and it takes me 45 minutes to drive the 7.2 miles to my mother's house every day to pick up my children. If I get lucky and I don't hit too much traffic it will take me 20 - 30 minutes.
Life here isn't for everyone......California really is the land of fruits and nuts. LOL And I find that most people can't drive. They think they are the only ones on the road. Forget it if you don't have a BMW, Lexus or a Mercedes....apparently THEY ALWAYS have the right of way. I ahve driven in MANY states and cities....I have NEVER enountered worse drivers than I have in California....and to live here you HAVE to have a car.|||try googling um "california"|||Cali people think that you that about it wrong like it's the land of silk and honey or something like that...|||send me an email and ill tell you what cali is about

The cost of gas is higher here than most places. It's around 3.45 in Orange County right now. On the bright side, the weather is beautiful, there is always something to do!|||i lived in cali. for 11 years...bad years!!lots of drugs,thugs and bad payin jobs the rents high and i could go on and on glad i left.|||Depends on where in cali you live..its not small like some east states..But it its the most diverse, and the only state where you can go to the beach, drive, be in the desert, drive more, and be in snow all in one day..lol. So it really depends but its pretty cool sometimes..cant really type up all the pros and cons because it would take forever the best thing to do would be to come here and visit a few times your self (a few diff visits at diff times in different cities)|||im so happy you asked!
well theres NoCal and SoCal. and they might as well be seprate states, they are so different. well i live in SoCal.
pros::
-pretty much sunny weather a good majority of the year
-quite a bit of stuff to do
-near One of the biggest cities in the country, so lots of opportunities
-close to every kind of terrain [beach, dessert, mountains]
-lots of intresting people
-L.A. has so much cultur
-good schools
Cons::
-SMOG pretty much every single day any where in Southern California
-california is nothing like "the O.C."
-Alot of people in Orange County [o.c.] are really stuck up
-the suburbs are super boring and all the house are 5 feet apart and exactly alike
-everyone wears the same clothes as each other [hollister, abercrombie, AEO]
-we dont really have a winter or much of fall. sometimes it still in the 90s late into october
-alot of people are really fake.
-housing is expensive
-you get critisized jsut by what area code you live in.
-Gang violence
- our local news sucks. our top stories are usualy about Paris Hilto an her D.U.I.s
as you can see there is probably more cons and pros, but i love southern california, and probably will never move from it.|||cali is the bestes place to live evereverever!!! luv it!!! so fun beautiful and tons of hottie guys!!! plus da beach rox!!!|||yes i live in cali...i think its awesome here since i live near the beach. i just hope i lived near l.a. where the weather is warmer. i live in san fran and the weather here is pretty foggy. but overall cali is a great place to live. u shud visit some time to see.|||I live there. I live in Northern California. California is very big so there is a lot to it. First of all, there's Northern California and Southern California. Southern California has a lot more kind of "fake" people, hot weather and people obsessed with labels and money. Northern California is far more liberal, which is cool. I live in the Bay Area.. It's nice because a lot of people live here. It's close to the beach.. There are a million Starbucks's. I live a little in the country but it's not isolated at all. A lot of people are into recycling. There are a lot of sandwich shops.
But beware, there are places you don't want to go.. Like hot places in the desert and stuff. Los Banos is isolated and yucky.. Eureka, nothing there. Victorville is pretty dead. Hollister is a motorcycle rally town.. The best places I think are beach towns or nice cities like Carmel, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Diego, etc.
Overall California is much more liberal than the rest of the country. People are often more open minded.. There are more vegetarians. It's a bit like a warmer Washington.. Did you know California has the 5th largest economy in the world? It's a great place to live.
Pros:
Shopping is great
Usually not isolated at all
Great weather
Open minded people
Good ethnic food, coffee shops, and sandwich shops
Many beach towns
Recycling
All fruits and vegetables available anytime!
Cons:
Poor public transportation system (A car almost a necessity)
Smog in some cities (Not everywhere. There are towns with gorgeous blue skies!)
Snobby people, esp. in SoCal
Cost of living is high|||Pros: great weather, food, diversity, attractions, scenery, excitment.
Cons: horrible traffic, smog, and lack of affordable housing.|||California is a beautiful state.Lots of historical places to visit and recreation.Also Yosemite is there.Very country carefree state.No cons at all, there are also lots of great fruits and vegatables here.|||I don't anymore, but I did live there for most of my life.
The great things are the shopping (great shopping in San Jose) and authentice fantastic ethnic food (Jalisco's in San Jose for Mexican!).
The cons are definitely the cost of living & crime rates. Also, depending on where you choose, they can be really run-down parts of town. Others are gorgeous and fanstastic, but outrageously expensive.
Cali is also a great place to work, because just about any degree can work there, because there's SO many people there, there's a demand for everything.
I also loved the weather. It got in the 100's in the summer and never got much colder than high 50's. The weather is great for wearing shorts & tanks!
Again, the down-side is the smog & pollution. the sky is gray (literally) and there are entire days devoted to not driving in an effort to reduce the pollution.
California is either FANTASTIC or TERRIBLE, depending on what you like & what you want. I really hope I could help you out, good luck!
:o)|||This was in the fashion and accessories section and everyone knows there is absolutely not one person in california who has any idea about those subjects. If they don't have a stylist, they get on the worst dressed list. They have to go to NYC and Paris to shop as everything out their way is trendy and so Not "hot" that it makes Paris Gag. Weather can be nice but traffic is miserable and you have to have a car. Just not worth it. Do dual homes in Manhattan and South Beach Miami instead.|||cali cali. gotta love it here. wonderful weather mountains are 30 min one way beach is 30 min another. Traffic..movie stars..in n out..smog..rain one day hotter tha &^% the next.|||Why is this is the fashion and accessories section?
I would like go to a college in California. I want to go to a college that has alot of people and a really nice campus and is affordable. I would like to major in something that has to do with English or Film Studies. I've got great grades... but I can't afford more than 40,000 a year, and that's pushing it. Also, I don't live in California... would living there for a few months before starting college lower my tuition?|||UC Berkeley is awesome. It's an urban setting and has lots of people. Out of state tuition costs are kind of steep though, but it helps to apply for financial aid and/or scholarships. There's a great liberal arts program here so English and Film Studies (The Pacific Film Archive is located on campus) are definitely awesome here. Living here for a few months probably wouldn't lower your tuition that much... it really takes about a year from what I've heard from my out of state friends. But definitely try the financial aid route. Also, you could try going to a community college first in California to establish residency and then transfer to a UC or some other school in California during your junior year to work on your major. Good luck!!|||Go to UCLA or UC Berkeley.|||TO get residency you'll need to live here for at least a year to lower the tuition, otherwise you'll be paying through the roof. UCLA, Pepperdine, and Cal State are all good.|||there are wonderful colleges in california...
however note this, A resident student is an individual who has lived in California for at least one year and one day prior to the beginning of a semester, and has taken steps to establish residency within the state.
that is a state law.
better move here quick!
remember its not just about affordable school--its also about an affordable town Bay area of san jose, san fran is not affordable)|||No. You have to be a resident of California for at least 2 years before a college will consider you a "resident" and get the discounts. You may want to consider moving here and going to a community college for your first 2 years. That way the general ed. stuff will be cheaper and you can decide what college and what major you should go after.|||Usually you have to be a resident in the state for one year to not get dinged with the out-of-state fee.
SF State has a good English and Film department.
Hey, I live in Washington and I'm thinking of traveling to California for the first time this summer. Do you know any good websites about fun things to do there or any good restaurants in California?|||California is a huge state. You need to be more specific as to WHERE in California you are heading. It is vastly different in the north and south, etc. Give www.california.com a shot.|||GO to the Orange County Convention and Visitor's Bureau website.|||Yeah, Hard Rock Cafe is always a Good One. San Francisco is best known for Resturants. I will add some more hold up. There is a little place called Bucca De Beppo, its on Howard St. near Market. It's really popular, and they serve Fresh, probably the freshest PIZZA and Italian food around. Really nice enviroment and decent prices.|||Where in California? California is hudge! Much bigger than Washington...|||well a phone book would work|||It depends what area in CA your going to....LA,OC,and San Diego have to many places!!

i want to visit and tour california. how are the people there? nice?|||Well, I was born here and still live here in the Napa Valley. I think Californians are very nice people. We like to be healthy and do lots of activities. I myself am a senior citizen and bicycle daily or take long walks. I also ride horses and snow ski in the winter. Swim too. There is lots to do here as the weather is great most of the year with winter weather only about 4 months long with plenty of sunny days even in the winter. I think it is a great state to live in.|||Depends on where you're visiting, I guess. I wouldn't believe everything you hear about California though, because most people that don't live here assume that everyone is stuck up, and rich, but that's really not the case. Everyone is pretty laid back, go with the flow type. There's so much to see and do, I think you'll have a lot of fun=)|||It is nice and diverse, a lot of immigrants.

I've never been to california, can it really take 40 minutes to get SIX miles around 6:30?pm|||Depends on where you are...Downtown San Francisco - YES...Greater Los Angeles - YES...In any big city you can get caught up in crazy traffic...Last week it took me almost an hour to go 2.5 miles (downtown Honolulu)...Craziness...|||O ya. It takes two hour just to go out to eat. No wonder I left.
my family and i & a friend are planning on driving from boston mass to california .. has any body every done this before & if so how long did it take .. casual breaks and stops .. also about how much in gas does it cost? any other information will be great -- any must sees? - thanks in advance -lisa|||I dont know about the time it would take, but in California gas is about 40 cents more per gallon, so fill up before you get there. And the gas stations are priced way difrent, up to a 30 cent variance between stations on the same block, so look around. Also when you are there and if you plan on buying gas on a credit or debit card a 45 cent sure charge will be applied.|||oom have fun it will take u like 2 or 3 or more weeks u wanna kill yr self and its boring|||trust me!
it doesnt matter how long it takes to get there

I wanna move from Miami to California.How do i get my car over there cause im going in an airplane?|||well i guess it can be shipped or you can get someone you know to drive it or you can not fly and drive it or you can sell it and buy a new car in california.|||It can be shipped by movers just like your home furnishings.|||car transports, it may cost up to $1,500.00|||Unless you are totally in love with your car, you may want to consider selling it. CA has special emissions requirements you will need to comply with. I have no idea what it will cost to have your vehicle converted. You may want to do some research.
Here is a link to a car shipping company...
http://www.aaat.com/|||You have several options, you can have your car shipped, which will not be cheap on a run like that... you could cancel your flight and drive yourself, you could hire someone to drive your car cross-country for you and then pay to fly them back home, or you could sell your car and buy a new one in CA...
It doesn't have to be a big city, it can be a tiny little town. But I'm wondering what cities/towns in California are the very closest to the border of Nevada near Las Vegas.|||Primm, California and Nevada (formerly known as Stateline)

I have a Michigan drivers license and I moved to California and want to get a California drivers license. What all do I need to bring with me to the DMV to get my license? I went to the website but it wasn't exactly clear on what I need. Anyone have a better idea on everything I need to bring with me? I have a MI drivers license and social security card. So will that be good enough to bring to the DMV?|||You'll need to pass a written test about California laws. You can pick up a handbook at any DMV and many public libraries.
You'll then have to pass a driving test.
All the best.|||go to drivers ed and pass the test simple
I am trying to figure out our prorated rent because I think it should be based on the rent divided by how many days there are in a month and my landlord says it should be just 30 days. Anyone out there have any info with regards to prorated rent formulas or laws or guidelines in California? Thanks!|||Your landlord is correct.
There are only 360 days in a banking or tax year. It's not the same as a calendar year of 365 days.
This allows for 12 equal months/payments of 30 days each.
Do you pay less rent in a 28 or 29 day month than you do in a 30 day month? Or more rent in a 31 day month than you do in a 30 day month?
Of course not.|||Rent is usually prorated when you move in, but not when you move out.
If you have a written lease, if you read it, the landlord can legally NOT entertain proration of rent.
However, if you do not have a written lease, it is prorated.
There is no law that states in a written lease that a landlord must prorate it...that is why you can't find it.|||Your landlord is correct. All months have 30 days for legal purposes.
Questions mounted about how a California man was able to hide for 18 years a girl he kidnapped and the two children she bore him, despite warnings from neighbors of something amiss.
As scores of police combed the home of suspects Phillip Jarrid, 58, and his wife Nancy, 54, the question is how police failed to act on tipoffs that something suspicious was going on at their house.|||When I read the story I was extremeley puzzled.18 yrs in captivity from age 11 and she never escaped? Why, she was 11 that's not a dumb little girl anymore. I cant understand this. The fence was 6 ft tall, there was plenty of junk there that she could of climbed over the fence. Fear can do many things, but the will to escape should be strong in a situation such as this. Even if he kept her tied up for some time, within 18 yrs there was time to try to escape. This was in a yard in a town not in a tunnel in the wildernes. Could it be that she fell for this monster, and loved being with him?
I definitely did NOT perform any of the 1099 work in New York or California. I perform all the work in Massachusetts and then FedEx the work to New York or California.
Would I need to pay state taxes to New York or California?
Thank you!|||You pay taxes in the state in which you reside. It is as simple as that.|||The IRS is not the best authority on STATE tax issues. You need to check with someone in the state tax office of the states you do business in.
In your situation, I would say you only owe Massachusetts taxes. If you drove to New York and did work IN New York, I would say you might owe NY taxes, on that income only. You would also include that income on the MA return, but get a credit for the taxes paid to NY.
To Ash79: Taxes returns are usually filed in the state you live in AND the state you work in. You usually get a credit for the taxes paid to the non-resident state on the resident state tax return.|||Best way to answer is what I was told by the IRS. I run My own truck and live in South Carolina. The company I have my current contract with is in North Carolina but i also deliver products with my truck to company's all over this Great USA. IRS simply asked where is your BASE of operation ,meaning where do you keep your files and home. Told them South Carolina. Then I would pay my normal IRS taxes and file state taxes with only South Carolina.
If you pass the california state bar exam, can you practice in other states with it? In other words, does it transfer to other states (or maybe fulfill part of the bar exam in other states)?|||Yes it does. The same applies to every other state exam...if you pass the New York State exam, you may still practice in any other state. The only time you won't be able to practice is if you take an equivalent exam in another country.|||Every state has its own reciprocity rules and rules governing limited instances where you can practice without being admitted to that state's bar. For example, Delaware doesn't have reciprocity with any state. Nor does Maryland. Check your state bar website for details. Crypt is clueless. Report Abuse
|||Crypt is flat out wrong. CA has very limited reciprocity with other states being that it does not give reciprocity to them. If you can always appear pro hoc vice though in other jurisdictions. Check the states reciprocity rules and you can determine if you can waive into their bar. Report Abuse
|||I am with John W! Crypt has NO IDEA what he/she is talking about! Taking one states Bar exam DOES NOT mean you can practice in any other state. If it was that easy, then everyone would be taking the state with the easiest Bar exam. Report Abuse
|||Totally wrong! I know from EXPERIENCE being admitted in NY, CA and DC. Every state's reciprocity is different. Example: If you are a practicing lawyer in NY for 4+ years, you may sit for the Attorney Bar Exam in CA. NY has the "mirror-rule". Whatever your home states rules are, NY follows. Report Abuse
|||Passing the bar exam in one state ONLY qualifies you practice in THAT state. Exceptions include reciprocity and getting admitted pro hoc vice. Reciprocity rules vary per state, and in some instances it is not an available. Pro Hoc Vice means "for this matter. Report Abuse

Well since they don't have the money to even gove back tax returns I'm not surprised at the amount of people moving out the people republik of kalifornistan. Kalifornistan should break off and sink. That way we won't have as many ugly female freedom haters in this country. This is what happens when you put liberals in charge. And don't give me that crap about how ahnuld is govenor either.

The plan includes a series of tax increases and program cuts, plus a special spending cap (which will go to voters to see if we want to continue it).

What are some stereotypes of people from Florida in comparison to a person from California? Are people from California more laid back, casual, natural, or richer than people from Florida? I always think of people from Florida similar to people in New Jersey or something like that--you know big hair, long fake nails, brash, pushy, low class, etc. Or is that just a false assumption?|||i live in Ca and visit my aunt in Ft Lauderdale frequently.i find the indigenous people similar, but in Fla you get a lot of NE (NYC) visitors who are much different than the Ariz visitors to Ca.

Florida = white trailer trash and a lot of Cubans.|||i think of california having more blondes bleached or natural, while florida would seem to have more brunette's/ethnic girls|||When surprised, a CA girl will say "OH, my God!"

Well, I'm planning to work in animation later on and the top 3 companies that I want to work for are in California. Pixar, Dreamworks, and Disney. The studios are all in California, but does that mean I actaully have to move there? I really, really don"t want to. What suggestions do you have?|||Not that you have go to some location to become a graphics animator, but you eventually would have to go to location when working for any company,
to learn and train, you want to go to choice of Animation colleges in your area, from there you create portfolio, and explore the work field and locations,
If you eventually work for company in Chicago, or Vancouver, UK, et cetera,, the projects may be outsourced to that company for creating or rendering, and compiled later on site,

I am transferring from a community college in california as a music major. What are some good UC or CSU's with a good music program for guitar and piano?|||Cal State Fullerton has a pretty decent music program. UCLA has a good performing arts school in general. Go to princetonreview.com, type in your major and it'll tell you what schools are good for that major.
""Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he will declare a "fiscal emergency" in January so that he and the legislature will have more power to deal with the state's growing deficit. ""
I was just reading an article (first paragraph of it is ^ there) about how California has a huge deficit. How is this possible if California brings in so much money from around the world?
Where does the money go?|||having a large economy does not mean necessarily that you have lots of money. The economy is more than just finances -- it includes productivity and natural resources and technologies and all that fun stuff like that.
Governments in deficit still spend all that money, they're just borrowing it from other countries that do not have a deficit -- like Canada for instance. the governments that lend money will charge the lendee an interest rate, and therefore get more money out of the deal -- it may take a long time, but eventually it will all balance itself out. And when the government borrowing money can pay back the money they owe, then they can start lending that money that they now have available.
but again, like I said before, an economy can be extremely large and not necessarily be in good financial shape. In the end, Money is really just a method of trade, a store of value, if you will. It is used in place of items (ie trading a chicken for three books) so that there is an easy way to keep track of how much value a person has available, and how much of something else an item is worth.|||because they spend more than they take in in revenue. they have huge bureaucracies, social programs, environmental boondoggles, and wasted wages.|||Why does America have a multi-hundred billion dollar deficit if it also has the largest economy in the world?|||In short, California has become ungovernable - the majority of us Californians will never vote for fiscal policies that will allow us to operate in the black. We all want a level of service from the state we are unwilling to pay even more for. Yet what we do pay for seemingly goes into a black hole. We're paying for plenty of services we never receive. Government at all levels is tremendously wasteful, and the only answer at this point is to raise taxes to new staggering levels. This will drive out the remaining viable businesses, sending them and their revenue generation to other states, most of which are much more business friendly.|||It is called illegal aliens.
I'm going on vacation to California tomorrow and we will be going to San fransisco, holly wood, pebble beach, nappa, near Huntington beach and other places in northern California. What kinds of clothes should I bring?
I live in nj, so I have no clue what to wear. So far I have jeans, tee shirts, a dress, a skirt, Jean shorts, and some tank tops and jackets. Which things should I bring and what should I leave at home?|||Leave the shorts at home. At this time of year in Calif. capris and jeans are better and more comfortable. Northern Calif. will be about 60 - 70 ish and cooler in the evening so a sweater and a all weather jacket would be good. It may rain. Things to do there are more casual so don't know where you plan to wear a dress or a skirt when traveling there. Even if you go to a very fancy place for dinner, slacks or capris with a dressy top would be suitable.|||Bring a coat and plan to take it off every afternoon. It's always cold in San Francisco but in the south the mornings are chilly and the afternoons are warm. Cali weather is very changeable - you have to dress in layers because you never know what to expect. We also sometimes get rain this time of year so bring an umbrella.|||For the past few days, it's been about 50 degrees in the SF area, so i'd go with more jeans and jackets, and less shorts. It might get warmer inland, closer to Napa, but anywhere near the coast is going to be chilly.|||Looks like you more or less have your bases covered with what you already have. It can get a bit chilly in SF so you may want to bring a warm shirt to wear under the jacket.
I'm interested in moving to California and I was curious as to which part of the state would be cheapest to live in, while still having descent living standards (I don't want to live in a ghetto or anything!). I'm not opposed to small towns, but I wouldn't want to live in an extremely small town, say less than 5,000 people. I also think it'd be cool to live near the coast. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks for your help!|||If you want to live near the coast you'll pay dearly for it. I sold my home about 15 miles from the coast in So. Cal. for nearly a million dollars back in March of this year. I took my equity and bought what is - by California standards - a mansion near Houston at just over 50% of the cost. Also, my salary became worth 40% more just by moving. I love California and lived there for 33 years. I would fforget all of Northern Cal, it is even more expensive than Southern. Look at San Bernardino and Riverside if you want to buy something decent in the $300 to $400K range. You can buy a reasonably nice home - 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage in a decnt area of Los Angeles County for around $600K. The further you get from the coast the more reasonable it will be. A coastal home - even a shack - will run over a million dollars. Also, you should do a salary calculator on Homefair.com or another site to determine how much more you'll need to earn to live there. Unless you're moving from Manhattan, you'll almost certainly need to earn considerably more to have the same standard of living. The best way to do it is through a company relocation - they'll pay realtor fees and everything else - including an increased salary - to get you there. Good luck!|||You would definately want to look at northern coastal california. I would look into towns north of Sacremento.|||California is crazy expensive, Cost of living is outrageous. Enough said...it doesn't matter where you go.|||Cheap? In California? Any place cheap is a place you would not want to live and as for by the coast...forget it.|||Forget the coast, that's not happening -- well, unless you have $800K for a small 2 bedroom.
The cheapest non-ghetto areas are in the desert like the outskirts of Palm Springs (PS is expensive though) or the high desert like Victorville or Lancaster.
If you have to work, keep that in mind. Both of those areas are 2 hours from Los Angeles, each way, for commuting.|||You do have a job already in California, right??
Do not even attempt to move there and then get the job. The cost-of-living will eat through your savings fast. Plus you're competing with thousands of residents who are out of work.
If you do have a job already, or your career is portable, then you could: www.realtor.com to compare houses and locations;
contact a realtor specificially in one area, and discuss your options.
The coast is beautiful to live near but it brings heavy fog, high winds, very cold water, tourists. There are lots of wonderful places not directly on the coast, but within driving distance.
Good luck...
Or, I guess a better way to word it is what are some dirt bikes that can be MADE street legal in california? I'm not buying a brand new bike, im planning on rebuilding one,so yeah. I know pretty much what mods need to be done, and the whole registration/licensing process, etc etc. So all I need is a list of bikes that are acceptable. Thanks very much, your help is greatly appreciated.|||C.A.R.B.. Dirt only motorcycles have different emission requirements. Equipment such as lights is a trivial problem. You think you are better than Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation? The new TU250X is not allowed in to California because of the C.A.R.B..

What laws does california have regarding partner notification for hiv, aids, and other sexualy transmited infections?

Bedbugs are found in my apartment in San Diego, I am asking what is the California law about bedbug treatment responsibility? Do I need to pay for the treatment if it is hard to tell who bring the bedbugs in my apartment?|||You had access. It will be assumed you did. The landlord doesn't have near the same access. No law specifically, just the probably cause.|||Obviously, LOve has never been bitten by a bedbug!!!! I got mine when I bought a brand new mattress set - within three days, I started to get bitten. Didn't understand why or how at first, until I tore all the sheets off the mattress. It was obvious by the extent of the infestation, the bedbugs had established themselves long before I received the set. Solution - YES, you MUST get treatment. Wash everything that can be washed, and bag it! Check your furniture, it only takes a hop, skip and a jump for the little pest to invade everything. Basewoods, any dark place in your home. Call the exterminator, and IF you have just brought some furniture like I did, call the Store!!! They will probaly give you a hassle, but stick to your guns - they paid me for the two treatments I had to have, the removal of the mattress set, a replacement, the Vet bills for my cat, the furniture I had to throw out, the clothes I couldn't wash, and pain and suffering, and the very expensive Exterminator's Bill! And believe me, I am allergic to house flies, THESE little brutes - the bedbugs, did a real number on me. Years later, I still have the scars from their bites. Also, very important, call the landlord and the Health Department! Did you know, you can also bring bedbugs into your home by just being in contact with someone on the outside who HAS them already? Something else, people just don't think about. Staying in a hotel, motel or someone elses home, the best way to check for the bugs, is behind the headboard, the mattress itself, and yes, I know I sound paranoid, but once bitten, twice shy! New York is infestated with the creatures, as is Baltimore The city I live in now, they closed down a hotal just a few weeks ago!. It has all been reported on the news, so I am NOT making it up!

Most sources put the California budget deficit at $25bn.
What caused the budget deficit in California, and what measures do you think should be undertaken to reduce their budget deficit in order to restore a business friendly, consumer confident state economy?|||1- Deregulation - over regulation, which California is infamous for, creates a burden on companies that have to comply with the State's rules. Compliance is often very costly and only the largest companies can afford to do so. Over regulation hurts small business growth because they don't often have the ability to pay for the cost of compliance or the cost to go to court for non-complaince. Deregulating would increase market demand and therefore increase the revenue gained from taxes.
2- Decrease spending while increasing taxes. Simply put, that is all that needs to be done to reduce the deficit. HOWEVER, with high unemployment, increasing taxes is never a good idea. Increasing taxes reduces demand for economic growth. Californians would continue to leave the state and a faster rate than they already are. Decreasing spending has the same effect. Recipients of the spending would no longer have the purchasing power they once received from the government, and therefore the economy would likewise shrink.
California needs to freeze its spending, lower its taxes, and deregulate. This would be the best way to spur economic growth. Once unemployment reaches around 5% and growth returns to around 3% or better, California needs to then begin slowly decreasing spending while increasing taxes. This would hurt the economy, but wouldn't be so bad as if they made drastic changes. You would then see the debt decrease and California would again be the wonderful state that it once used to be.|||Its all to late.!!
California - america in general is a 'bankrupt nation' - your local deficit says so - and the countries overall debt of 14 trillion+ $'s says so.!!
The action to save 'yourselves' should have been taken 20+yrs ago. The debt (local/nationally) is so out of control - there is/are no 'quick-fix' solutions + the peoples will not accept 'any measures' that will 'destroy 'their comfort zones' until the 'food queues' start forming - that being the only sign (to them) that their 'ignoring attitudes' were wrong.
For idea's the US would do well to see the measures being taken by the UK .....brutal-hurtful-painful cost cutting right across the board........no exceptions.
The UK past (labour government) doing 'exactly the same' as the US has done....borrow-borrow and spend-spend and now that (disposed) government is denying they did anything wrong.
Solution :- cut public services big time - that being the most expensive expenditure for local-national governments - freeze/reduce wages etc - mass unemployment will follow - it can't be avoided.......now you see the amount of 'pain' the US people will be having - and that will be going on for years to come.
The alternative ?. Do nothing - and wait for the chinese 'bailiffs' to appear - the holders of all the US loans/bonds - they then 'controlling' the US totally - not possible ? ......just wait and see.!!|||In order to actually deal with the debt,
California will have to take stock of any & all hard assets

FL was originally colonized by the Spanish. LA, MS, and AL simply never received many Hispanics as a result of both geography and history.
New Orleans does have a large Hispanic community but it is thoroughly assimilated (relatively few recent immigrants). A cliche' about the refugees from Cuba in the 1960s was that Miami got all the farmers & fishermen while New Orleans got the doctors, lawyers, and architects.
The influx of Hispanics NOLA experienced after Katrina has mostly reversed and the majority are gone.
New Orleans has a noticeable Asian population because of immigrants from Vietnam in the middle 1970s after the Communists conquered the South.. Most of the Vietnamese people who immigrated didn't speak English, their children speak English with an accent, and their grandchildren (today's teenagers) are just American kids.|||NOLA guy must not be anywhere near midcity-there is still a substantial post-katrina population here.

Greetings,
I am in the military and stationed in DC, I would like to get my motorcycle license and am a resident of California. I can take the free Safety Course offered by the Navy but I need a motorcycle permit from CA. Anyway it can be done? The CA DMV call line is useless and there is no way to contact them via email. Thank you in advance.|||I don't believe you can get an M1 license without taking the motorcycle skills test at a California DMV office. However, you might check with the DC authorities to see whether you can ride there with an out of state (or out of district) automobile license. I suspect you can, since not all states have separate licensing for 2-wheeled motor vehicles.
(You obviously do not want to get a DC license, which would mean changing your residence to DC, and losing your CA residence.)|||When I was stationed in Alaska I just obtained a permit from Alaska. Then when I finished my safety course I went to the Alaskan DMV and obtained an Alaskan drivers license with motorcycle on it. Then if you were to go to another state you can just take it to the DMV and have them switch it to that state.|||You just get a permit in DC, it doesn't have to be in cali.

And she only has a school I.d From her school she use to attend here in california last year and her birthcertificate.|||You can't bring her but she can bring herself. While in theory Mexico might ask her to prove parental permission in reality they probably won't and the US won't care as long as she is a citizen, that she has come across the border. She would need parental permission to leave the country but not to enter it.
You have to hurry. She has to have a passport or passport card after July 1. I'm concerned if she doesn't have a government issued ID, she might run into a problem there as well. I don't know if they will accept her school ID. They would normally expect at the minimum to have a parent present who can identify her.
Another problem is, when she gets into the US she has no legal parent or guardian. If you get into some type of trouble I'm not sure what will ahppen to her...|||She might have trouble at the border. She should have a US passport.

U.S. citizens who do not have a single document verifying identity and citizenship, like a passport, must present both an identification and citizenship document; for example, a driver’s license and a copy of a birth certificate or naturalization certificate.

Of course, if the inspecting officer has any doubts about her claim to U.S. citizenship, she will have to produce more evidence to support her claim.|||if she was born here then she should have a birth record with her. if she is not legal then she will have to fill out the proper paper work.
We are planning to move to California in about a year and we want to find the ideal place for us.

Of course, San francisco also has palm trees and is near the ocean, but the weather is on the chilly side, kind of like year round air conditioned.|||Southern California is a desert. Any place that looks green and tropical is that way because someone is paying to make it that way. If you want to live near a beach, the area will be dry and expensive or green and even more expensive.
In northern California the beaches are too cold for half the year.
Bear in mind I live aabout 2 miles from Newport Beach, one of the best beaches in the world and I never go there as on the best days it is too crowded. And besides, life just gets in the way of going to the beach a lot.|||This is a tough one!
Obviously, southern California is going to have the most tropical weather. And granted, in LA and San Diego, yes, there are lots of palm trees. However, these are two of the most built up metropolitan areas in California. I have a very hard time calling any areas along the southern California coast "real green and tropical."
On the other hand, if you go up to northern California, the areas around the coast are green, pristine, and gorgeous. My favorite area up there is around Arcata. But then you're not in a tropical zone. It's a more forest-type environment, with cold, wet winters. Is it green, though? Absolutely.
So it looks like you may need to rethink which sounds better: tropical, but kind of built up coast; or green coast with colder weather.
--->Good Luck!|||If you go more than 5 miles from the beach, it's just overcrowded and congested, like anywhere else - but there ARE palm trees lining the streets:) ..... You should try the La Jolla area, just north of San Diego. You need to remember that Southern California has been reclaimed from desert, and it takes alot of watering to keep everything green & blooming. So, although there will be flowers blooming, it's not going to be a lush, tropical feel anywhere.....|||Well, as others have already said, we're not really very green and tropical around here - Southern California is a desert except where it's irrigated. And in addition, our housing is pretty dense (due to land cost).
That said, I've always been impressed by the amount of greenery along Crown Valley Parkway in Laguna Niguel as you travel toward Monarch/Dana Point beaches.

I hear so much about illegal immigrants in California trashing up neighborhoods, being destestable etc.. In Texas, we have a large hispanic community which yes some are illegal while others are not. I hear some give their political reasons as to why they are against it but then I hear people talk about cultural differences and speak negatively about how their neighborhoods look and so forth.
In California, are people scared of hispanics or illegal immigrants? In Texas, I don't see as many scared people. It's very odd so that is why I'm asking because stereotypically, you would think California would be more liberal than the stereotype of conservative Texas.
There is a small movement against illegal immigrants and from what I've seen, most of those people are very xenophobic and scared. They have their few token hispanic citizens, asians and blacks but stupid people cannot keep a movement together when underneath it all, they want division.|||Here in California, the gang problem is MASSIVE, the schools are dumbed down because little Maria and Jose can't speak english(yet we throw about $4000/year MORE at each student only to get garbage in-garbage out), HS drop-out is rampant, there poppin out kids like Rabbits, they stop on the side of the HWY during rush hour to take a leak in full view of 10,000 people, they throw trash around like it's Tiajuanna, they don't embrace higher education, they don't speak english, they don't assimilate into society, they overpopulate our prisions, our social services...and they protest in the streets for their RIGHTS!!!

As a result most people are secure in the knowledge that if some moron goes shooting everyone in sight most Texans will grab their gun and shoot the moron. Better off killing a killer than being shot at and watching your kids die. I believe that was the gun lobby's defence for the Virginian massacre earlier this year.|||I'm from LA, and we have a large domestic immigration problem. People from other states come here and are less tolerant. Most of the racist I incounter is from outside the state. Illegal immigration is changing the politics in California, areas that are formerly conservative has turn liberal. THere is a lot of tension when our lifestyle has been turn upside down. I see the responsible wrokin harder to support the poor, rather than a system promoting people to improve themselves. The sudden demographic change has detroyed alot of peoples lifestyle. THe pay of the African AMericans has dropped dramatically and their political clout has decrease. COrrupt Hispanic leaders has given a bad name to the Mexicans. We have been prossecuting alot of Mexican AMerican MAyors for corruption, and Villeragosa , LA's mayor has been found guilty of impropriety of campaign finance, and I seen some racist policies and other land development inproprieties. (I voted for him, but I won't him out). We see it difficult to get rid of him, because some hispanics refuse to acknowledge problems with him. As for gangs, I do see it, but we always had a gang problem. THe Hispanic gangs only replaced the Bloods and the Crips. As for schools, I seen something scary last week, as La Raza or some other militant Hispanic group spoke at a school meeting. I heard two Hispanics speak and they were literally asking the school to dumb down our curriculum so their kids won't look stupid. I think the main reason is that the liberals has taken over California recently and the conservatives who lived here are getting fustrated that the government is letting immigrants take advantage of us.
Truthfully, I rarely heard anyone speak badly about immigrants until the May 1st 2006 protest. I think that was the straw that broke a lot of peoples back. Frankly I didn't care much until I saw all the hate in the internet.

We are the two largest states too.|||Better salsa???|||Its because in California it got to the point where illegals make up a large chunk of the population and they take a lot of the jobs.

I had a talk with a friend who move to Oregon the other day, and he moved from California. Said the crime rate is so high there that now people are heading out of Cali and move to Oregon too. The only difference is that now that they have moved to Oregon (where the crime rate seems rather low) Californians want to change Oregon gun laws, and such to encroach upon Oregonians lives because they were so fearful of the crime down there.

What can you do in california if you can no longer afford to pay your mortgage? I bought my house for 500k and now its probably worth only 430k.

Where can I find info on that , and what can I do?|||You don't have to pay the difference IF the bank agreed to the short sale before you signed a contract. Instead the bank writes it off and you receive a 1099 for the difference. You then have to pay income tax to the IRS and the state for that amount at tax time. You received the money already, did not pay any tax on it, and spent it on a house.|||The first thing you want to do is contact your lender, I'm serious. People always wait until the last minute - but if you start communicating with them immidiately - you may be able to help yourself.
Yes short sales are optinos - but can be a headache and good ol Uncle Sam considers " A debt forgiven is considered income" so you could get taxed on the 70K loss.
(I'm not a tax advisor - but seek advise - most give you a free consult)
Try to negotiate with the bank - a lot of times they will be able to arrange a payment schedule that is within your budget - and because you've communicated with them every step of the way there is no drama.
Now, if you don't communicate, don't pay, and try to work it out "later" good luck... they don't look too kindly on that.

I am posting a questio for a very big multi national company and need to find the layoff policy for California, USA. The employer is planning to do a mass layoff (few thousands atleast) very soon. just need to know about protection severence package. Appreciate your help in providing the useful information. Employer has plenty of money and no bankruptcy issues.|||There is no state "layoff policy." It is up to the employer.|||I do not know of any relevant California state law. However, the entire USA has a federal law called the WARN act, which requires covered employers to notify affected employees 2 months in advance of a mass layoff. If the employer requires the employees to stop working less than 2 months after the notification, then it still has to pay them for those 2 months. However, if the employer does properly notify the employees 2 months before their last day of work, then it only has to pay them for the two months that they were working, and is not required by this law to pay any severence. |||There is no "layoff policy" in California. Each employer may decide what policies to implement. If you have an employee handbook, it may provide you with the policies of your employer. California is generally an "at will" state meaning your employer can terminate you without notice for no reason or any reason except discrimination.
If you are a union member, you may have some rights under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Other than that or any existing express policies articulated by your employer in the handbook, the employer is not obligated to offer you a dime in "severance".
You may be protected under COBRA for certain insurance rights, which allows you to pay for the premiums but keep your group insurance.

From my reading business leaders are pooling funds to sponsor an initiative to ask the voters of California to re-write our state's constitution in an effort to make our state more competitive or so they argue. In Honduras, it is argued their leader had wanted to change the constitution so that it would allow him to remain in power. It seems like the only difference is in the wording. Why would people riot in one country and not in another one when they are affected in familiar ways?|||In Honduras the leader wanted to single-handedly change the constitution in a way that benefited only him. In California, they want to hold a convention consisting of people democratically elected to the job from all over the state to make wholesale revisions to the constitution about things that have nothing to do with them personally. Not very similar at all.|||A lot of dumb people in California. They haven't yet figured out that the reason the democrats want to rewrite the constitution is because they now have to have a 2/3 majority to raise any taxes and have a balanced budget every year. They don't like that. It has really been a handicap to them.|||I'm not all that familiar with the Honduras situation, but there is a world of difference between rewriting a national constitution and rewriting a state or local constitution. You can bet that if Obama (or Bush or whoever) rewrote the US constitution, there would absolutely be rioting, maybe worse.
The main problem I see with the California government is that it is bloated with ballot propositions, many of the more recent ones being put forth by our own Arnie. Almost every proposition involved spending money somewhere, so when it passes, the state has to spend that money. If the money comes from a bond, that bond is basically a debt that has to be repaid. I haven't really heard the media mention anything about this, but how much of our current financial situation is due to bond debts that must be repaid? We are like a shopoholic who has been putting everything on the credit card, but now we have had our pay cut and there is no way to make ends meet.
I think we really do need to reevaluate our state constitution, and revisit the reforms of the early 20th century (ballot propositions, recall, etc) that were much needed then but need updating for today's world.|||The Constitution of California is pretty complex more than any other state, I think they will make changes to benefit the economic powerhouse that makes California strong. Maybe the will go and sign off and declare Independence and make it a country.|||Honduras is a great example of a working democracy and true state of law, when the president tried to change the constitution he got kicked out of office, period.

I've got about a 10-11 inch red devil cichlid, a 6 inch koi, about 6 common goldfish, 4 swordtails, 2 bettas, and 4 algae eaters that I want to take with me to the Philippines from California. The red devil is alone he will not go with other fish and neither will the bettas but the others I think would get along well enough together. Anyone know of a way to transport them? Are there ways of shipping them by boat? Or by plane? Definite answers please, I am not going to risk killing my fish on something someone heard from a friend of a friend of a friend.|||Importers here in the Philippines usually have their stocks shipped by air, so it might be wise that you do the same.
As mentioned by other members proper conditioning and packing is a must, for the larger fish you may need to purge them for 2 to 5 days before shipping, while smaller fish 2 days is usually enough. During this period the fish are not to be fed, and the wastes are siphoned twice a day, this is to ensure that their guts will be empty comes shipping time, and that the water they are shipped with will not be contaminated unneccessarily by their feces.
Fishes are packed in plastic bags of appropriate sizes, with 1/3 water and 2/3 oxygen, usually doubled bagged and placed in styropor lined cartoon boxes, sealed and properly labeled.
Larger cichlids especially with well developed spines needs to be packed in thicker plastic bags and a layer of newspaper in between the bags, and sometimes sedated.
By the way, fishes here are relatively cheap, so if you are not attached to your fishes it might be wise to sell the fishes there and buy new ones here, and all of the fishes you mentioned are available in pet shops within Metrro Manila.|||I'm not to sure but they will have to stay in Quarantine for at least 2 weeks|||Sorry, but that seems to be alot of fish to transport. You're flying, I'm guessing. By boat would probably be a better choice, I'm thinking that the altitude and pressure change and stress the fish out and possibily harm them. I just did some further research, and found that pressure change in an airplane often kills the fish. Also, you have so many fish, that it would be very difficult to have a suitable tank on the plane. I don't even know if you are able to bring un-vaccinated animals on a plane.
Anyways, I had to travel from Virginia to Massachusetts in a car. I brought my 2 guppies and 1 molly along for the ride. I knew it was definetly risky, but I knew that if I let my grandma take care of the fish, she would probably kill them. I found a fish bowl that I had used a few years back for a betta i had had. I got extremely lucky, because I found a tupperware container lid in one of my kitchen cupboards that fit perfectly and snapped onto the top of my bowl. I added the fish (and of course the water!) and it was great. Every now and then I would open the top to get some air in there and close it again. Since there was a top on the bowl, no water splashed out at all and my fish were fine. When we got to the hotel I did a water change. When we finally got to our destination I added them to the tank I had packed away in my car.
I know you are going by plane, so this won't help you too much, and you have more than three fish, but here's just an idea. I know bowls are unsuitable for fish, but it wasn't for too long. If you like this idea, you could try it. But, it is risky. Personally, I think fish have a better chance of surviving in a car than a plane, because of altitude and pressure change. Our ears pop in a plane, think of how that would feel to a fish!
Before you decide to take your fish with you, it would be a good idea to make sure that there is absolutely no other solutions. I would make sure that there isn't anyone that could care for them first.
Sorry this is so long. Good luck with you and your fish and have fun on your trip!|||This is a lot of fish to ship and it's about more than just "getting them there." It's proper packing, proper temperatures, and choosing the proper shipping option. I would highly, highly suggest going to a fish store and asking them about how they ship and receive shipments. You can learn a lot of useful information from them.|||Besides shipping problems, you will have issues with the Phillipine and US government. You will need to contact the appropriate offices and get permission to bring them into the Phillipines. You will also need to get permission from the airlines to bring them with you. The red devel will be difficult to ship, will need alot of water and even more pure oxygen. You will also want to use multiple bags in case a fin pokes a hole in the bag.|||HI Glenn, It appears some airlines will accommodate you with specialised, labelled containers & careful handling-someone on the forum I help run recently needed to do this but it was only internally within the US.
As you are moving abroad there will be the added complication of customs quarantine for a specified period after you arrive. I know of someone who is having to leave her fish in the UK with someone else on the forum when she goes back to Australia next year because she understandably doesn't want to subject her fish to the long journey followed by 4 weeks of quarantine. I wouldn't have thought shipping by boat would be a viable option because we would be talking in terms of several days [at least] instead of hours by air.
I would suggest you contact the Philippines's customs & ask about quarantine regulations, also ask the airline[s] about specific handling procedures & if they sound too daunting perhaps consider leaving them with people you know will take care of them. I know this last choice would be a heartbreaking thing to do but may well be the kinder option. Hope this is of some help, I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific.|||Glenn,
I think you would be better off if you gave your fish away in California before you left the States, then purchased new fish when you set up your tank in the Phillipines.
The reason I say that is that usually most animals and fish are forbidden to be transported between two countries without Import/Export Permits and the like. People like you or me just don't have access to them.
So to cut out all the hassles, give them away. A good group is FreeCycle. They're a group that facilitates exchanges of used goods that are still usuable that people no longer want, but don't want to throw out in the trash.
Go to WWW.FREECYCLE.ORG -
From there you can find your local group - they're set up by Zipcodes. Then you can make an "OFFER" - and you'll get replies - fairly fast. Since you're traveling a long distance - for I don't know how long - I'm assuming you're giving up your entire aquarium set up - so you can offer up everything to one person.
Good Luck -

There is a Federal Law that states that posession of marijuana without a prescription is illegal, yet California wants to pass a law exempting Californians from that law.

The only real thing I could see the Fed doing to force the plan on the states that don't want it is to threaten to take other things away.
I can see you point, it's more than a tad hypocritical.|||It is the federal governments law to enforce this law or not and enforce the new health care laws they will. Are you afraid that someone is going to not die because they have to pay for their health insurance now? I do not get the real parallel in your question. It seems like apples and oranges to me.
Why would a person not want health care reform. Oh, they work for the health insurance companies, they have their health care paid for (so they think) and they are rich (can pay for it easily themselves) so the minority has no right to get that benefit.
Seems under this standard the majority is the TYRANNY to the minority whom are left out. Hmmm.... I would never want to deny others health care due to my good fortune and my smug selfishness, and I do not think when you do you would either.|||They're full of hypocrisies. Like their hate for Capitalism; Do the weed dealers give it away for free? Of course not! They are trying to turn a profit.|||The occasional support of marijuana legalization is one of the few things Democrats do that doesn't increase the national debt. If the Democrats didn't get so many "contributions" from lawyers they may have actually done something right decades ago and legalized it. Now that more and more Republicans are talking about legalization the Democrats may want to beat them to the punch and kiss the lawyers' butts some other way instead. I recommend legalizing gay marriage. Lawyers make big money on divorces, maybe even enough to make them back off on the marijuana issue. Gay divorces might be enough of a windfall for them to satisfy their greed. If not let's make an issue out of taxing the lawyers extra to pay for prison expenses and all the money that goes out of the country to foreign drug cartels. They owe us for that.|||Federal law does trump state law. If pot is legalized in California, the feds would be within their rights to swoop in with raids and pot busts; or they could determine the law not viable.
However, that scenario is highly unlikely, esp. since Holder gave the directive to stop busting medical marijuana dispensaries.|||Oh, you must've missed the memo. If you are a liberal, the constitution is supposed to be a fairweather document. When it comes to health care, the state has to adopt the federal jargon. When it comes to marijuana, it is up to the state as to whether or not they want to allow such a thing.
Why even bother having a constitution anymore if it isn't honored?
Thank god for the 10th Amendment...now pretend that it exists, Mr. Messiah Hussien!|||I think what California is considering is repealing a state law, which they can do if they choose to without question. The Feds will still be able to enforce the Federal law or try, without any assistance from the state unless state law is violated. The 10th Amendment is not an issue.
States opposed to Obama Care are challenging the validity of the Federal law in ways not limited to the 10th amendment. A closer analogy would be if the Federal Government said you are required to buy a certain amount of marijuana every year whether you want to or not, and they fine you or put you in prison if you don't.|||Good point, dwoodall.

Decriminalizing marijuana saves billions in costs for trials, jailing, patrol, and it takes the marijuana market out of the hands of the black market and puts it into the hands of entrepreneurs. People whose interest is not to sell illegal substances for profit (including cocaine, meth, ex, you name it)... but to build a business.
The people of california will decide if they want to legalize the use of pot. Just like the people decided to elect officials who would bring about health care reform. Remember that landslide election? FOXs polls were crap then and they are crap now.
The states can attempt to opt out. Good Luck. Wish I could have opted out of the bailout for wall street. The fact is that health care reform in the long term will provide the nation with affordable, accessible and reasonable medicine... when providers do not have to inflate costs to make up for uninsured unpaid bills and astronomical overhead in administrative costs as well as pennies to the dollar private health care payments... EVERYONE will benefit.
If you legalized pot, the inflation in cost for the drug dealer's risk in selling the product disappears. Therefore, cheaper for everyone.
So in fact, the legalization of marijuana has some of the same principles as obamacare. Both will save the government and taxpayers money by providing for the common welfare.

Is California a good state for a person who is looking for sophisticated lifestyle?|||The state itself is like the other. It has it's metropolitan areas, and the suburbs. Overall, if you want sophisticated, it depends where you have lived before, to compare it to that experience.
Ultimately, if we consider San Francisco, as the area where sophistication occurs, it would deem low. Los Angeles would relate to a sophisticated life.|||Being a native Californian and a native of the SF bay area, I have to say yes. There is much to do in the Bay area that is for the sophisticated. But because SF is so diverse, you have to expect a little of everything, from drug use to hippies, to very sophisticated people and everything in between. The biggest problem with living here is the cost. For instance, gas in very near $4 a gal. A home in the city will easily go for over a million dollars. A small condo would be about $700,000. BTW you must know that SF is a very liberal city too.|||You can live a sophisticated lifestyle in any state.

I am interested in starting an internet business for pet supplies. I dont really even know where to start. Are there other lisences I need for an internet business in California other than a wholesale lisence?|||There is no such thing as a wholesale license. What you are thinking of is called a resale license & it is from the state franchise tax board. This allows you to buy wholesale which is strictly defined without sales tax because YOU collect the sales tax from your buyers & send to the tax board. This license (plus a business license) allows buying at a "wholesale" price (which depends on many things) which you can "mark up" which then becomes "retail." In some instances the "wholesale cost is only a few %'s less than retail (but again, No sales tax). In other instances it can be more. Often the larger the order (buying in bulk) makes the % greater. You would need to start a business account/agreement with a supplier in order to buy from them to re-sell, This may require a business credit card or checking account. Do not forget that you need to also factor in shipping & packing costs. You may find that you can not compete with places like PetCo.

The renter does not own the home, so why would they care.
So I think the responsibility would be on the landlord. If I were a landlord, I would not want the liability of risking my tenants falling off and hurting themselves.

Most of the time you must have at least some experience as an agent before you can apply for a broker's license, although California will waive that for people that have a four-year degree from a regionally accredited college.
Since very few real estate salespeople or brokers actually draw a salary, the second part of your question is difficult to answer.
Brokers may (but don't always) get a percentage of the commission from each agent working under them. It depends on the contract that the agent has with the broker.
I know several agents that are making far more than their brokers, although generally brokers make more than the average agent.
Additionally, I know at least one broker that runs a "one-man dog-and-pony" show, meaning that he has no agents working for him. He's the broker, office manager, secretary, agent, chief cook and bottle washer.
One last tidbit. Since you're looking at real estate sales, you should know that while this is great fun, most new agents never make it to their first license renewal.
It's hard work, long hours, and no benefits. You are an "independent contractor", meaning that if you don't make any sales, you don't get any money (no matter how hard you work).
Count on six months with no income whatsoever, but lots of expenses going out. If you do better than breaking even in your first year, you can consider yourself a success.

I worked most of year in Texas and moved to California...Do I have to file for California taxes? I worked 5 months in California.|||Yes, you have to file taxes in the state if you made money there at all. You will have to file a return for Texas if you made money there, too.
The good news is that you can deduct the cost of your move if it was work related.|||I'm pretty sure you file taxes for CA and just tell them when you're doing your taxes that you lived in Texas for most of last year. I think they just do a split return because people move out of state all the time.|||Check their state laws. If made less than a certain amount then you may not have to file state taxes. Some states its 10K or less.|||If you worked in Cali....you got to file taxes for it!!!!
....it's kinda late to be asking this Q. Taxes are due TODAY!!!!|||if you worked, you have to claim it
I live in San Francisco and pay California's (in my opinion) outrageous 9.3% tax rate. In looking around I notice that Oregon has a 9% top rate while Nevada and Washington have no income tax. I know that Oregon has no sales tax, so that sort of explains things there. But can someone explain for me the basics of why California appears to be so much more expensive than Nevada and Washington? Is there some way as a California resident I can take advantage of something to avoid paying what appears to be thousands of dollars more than I would pay if I moved to Seattle? Alternately, is there some tax that they pay in Washington that I'm not considering? Finally, is it just that the California government is stupid and inefficient, or are they lacking sources of taxes that Washington state gets?|||Most of the difference has to do with Prop 13's effect on California. While anyone who purchases a home pays taxes on the current value of the property, someone who has lived in the same home for years is locked in at a much lower rate. For example, know of someone who purchased home in 1976 for $42,000. Property taxes are less that $250 a year. My property in Oregon is on the tax roles at $85000 and I pay $1300 a year. Like Cali, my tax increase every year at a minimum rate, but in Washingotn that's not the case.
That said, yes, you can save tax dollars in Washington or Oregon over Cali. But you don't have the weather, job oppertunities, entertainment or sports activities that large numbers of people generate. For me, none of the reasons I mentioned was enough for me to want to stay in California or Washington. I much prefer the slower pace of life, the fewer people, and the reduced cost of living on the south coast of Oregon. No, I don't make the high salary I could make in either state, but I make what I need to live where i want to live.|||I appreciate living in Federal Way, WA much more than in CA. The people are much nicer and the pace of life is a little slower. It's more a college town atmosphere, everything closes after 9p. Cost of living is less than CA, $1.58 sandwiches at Winco? Won't find that in SF!!! Report Abuse
|||dean, you're stupid. Oregon has NO sales tax. Washington state DOES have sales tax. Report Abuse
|||I think it is b/c they like to spend it on different things and waste money. They don't ever want to save it.

Texas has been under fire for the last few years for their exhorbitant property taxes to support the school system. They don't have an income tax so they have to get it from somewhere.
There's also the fact that some states manage money better than other. Make your vote count.|||California total tax revenues are $2,724.31 per person. Washington states tax revenues are $2,359.99. Oregon's are $1,791.45. California has a 6.25% general sales tax, Washington has a 6.5% general sales tax. Oregon has none.
These are state government collections--there are also local government taxes to consider.
It's a complicated question whether tax rates are high because of government inefficiency or because of other reasons. For example, a higher percentage of disadvantaged people in a state can cause more need for government services.|||They make it up some other way - license plates, drivers' licenses, building permits. I truly believe they get the money some other way. Nevada has the casinos to help contribute.|||As a current resident of Washington and a former resident of Oregon and California, I may know the answer. Okay, in Washington, there is no income tax however, there are hefty property and sales taxes. In Oregon no sales tax but the property taxes there are INSANE. California has a lot of public programs that the whole community enjoys which is why it is taxed so (schools, public works) being the most populous state in the union with one of the lowest property ownership ratios. California also has the largest number of extremely wealthy individuals and the largest number of residents below the poverty line. That is the reason for income tax That being said, I am in support of taxes (as weird as that sounds) They support our schools and services that we need. People like to complain about paying taxes and complain about closing schools and letting criminals free from overcrowded and underfunded prisons. I wish this was all free but until then I will be happy paying taxes.
I recently dicovered that Eureka, California is pretty affordable to live in for an average, middle class family.The taxes there are cheaper than the rest of California. What other cities are more affordable than Eureka in California? I live in Ohio, so I hope anyone who knows anything about California will help me out.|||Yes, the north coast including Eureka is cheaper to live in than some other areas but there are hundreds of cheap towns.The state sales tax is about the same everywhere, 9.6% but gasoline will be less up there than in San Francisco where it is $3.23 a gallon. If you want to be in the north other towns include Willetts, Ft. Bragg, Mendocino, Ferndale, Yreka, Dunsmuir. You can find hundreds of towns in rural California that have cheaper real estate. It is cheaper to live in Oregon and more family friendly anyway. There is no sales tax.
California is so large it really has about 9 different regions: North Coast, Redwood empire, Bay Area, Sacramento valley, San Joaquin valley, central coast, Los Angeles basin, Desert communities, Inland empire. You have to give more details in order to narrow down your choices like what kind of town you want, what kind of culture or lack of it, rural or suburban, coast or desert, crime, schools, jobs, diversity. California has 54 counties, 1500 miles long and 37,000,000 people. I suggest you post more specifics.|||Property and sales taxes are established by the state of California. Everyone pays the same property tax, yours would be based on your Prop 13 situation. Sales tax has a minium in the state of 8.25% and then the city and county can add to it. You wouldn't be paying much less than anyone else.
Eureka is BEAUTIFUL, unlike the other places that the other respondent suggested (Bakersfield, Fresno, Blight, Baker, etc). It's affordable by California standards because there are limited jobs available. It's also very MUCH in the middle of no where. You are closer to Oregon than any major city in California (remember if you are driving there is about 7 hours between San Fran and the Oregon border)
The better the job opportunity and the better the location, the more expensive the area is.|||You get what you pay for. The reason Eureka is "affordable" is that no one wants to live in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing to do. Other places that fit this bill are the central valley cities of Bakersfield and Fresno or desert cities like Barstow and El Centro. Anyplace away from the coast is mostly high desert with extremely hot weather. That's why most Californians are use to spending +30% of their income to live along the coast. Living inland is like living in Oklahoma or Texas.
I only know these animals that hunt California Condors, but these animals only hunt California Condor Chicks. Although I have no idea how California Condors defend themselves.
1. Ravens break condor eggs when they can and eat them.
2. Golden eagles and coyotes watch for a chance to snatch condor chicks as the young birds explore their surroundings.|||It is rare for any predator to hunt condors. They defend themselves by flying away. They don't perch where they can be hunted.|||Actually the main defense of the Condor against any animal attacking it is to vomit at the attacker.
Think about it.
The same defense is used by vultures. Carrion eating birds will first spread their wings to appear larger, if that doesn't work, they puke. They can't find carrion in trees. Report Abuse
|||Well i don't know if it counts but humans hunted for the birds, one of the reasons they became endangered. i think that counts.
The California Condor has a long life span, reaching up to 50 years. If it survives to adulthood, the condor has few natural threats other than humans.
It is a bird of prey.
They can usually intimidate other scavengers away from the carcass, with the exception of bears, which will ignore them, and Golden Eagles, which will fight a condor over a kill or a carcass
here are some defenses of the bird not necessarily from predators but for survial, since it as few predators in nature...
One way of defense is an adaptation for hygiene, the condor's head and neck have few feathers, which exposes the skin to the sterilizing effects of dehydration and solar ultraviolet light at high altitudes. The skin of the head and neck is capable of flushing noticeably in response to emotional state, a capability that can serve as communication between individuals.
They are often found near cliffs or large trees, which they use as nesting sites which wards off predators of their young for the most part.
Condors also perform urohydrosis, or defecate on their legs, to reduce their body temperature.
They have been known to fly up to speeds of 90 km/h (55 mph) and as high as 4,600 meters (15,000 ft) they have a 10ft wingspan and weigh up to 30lbs, and can travel 150 miles.
there is not much you can list for this animals natural predators, and because the sheer nature and size of the bird, its eating habits, it really does not need any defense against other animals.|||The California Condor will intimidate other scavengers away from the carcase with the exception of bears which ignores them. The golden eagle would fight a condor over a corpse.|||If I'm not mistaken, I do believe vultures vomit their food if something/one bothers them while they're feeding. (I could be wrong so don't botch me!)
I know that barn owls vomit and defecate on predators as well.
For Calif. police, laser is the new radar:
It used to be that if you liked to speed but didn't want to get a ticket, you could buy a radar detector and hope for the best. B u t that's not a good idea in the High Desert.
Traffic deputies in the area use laser technology called Lidar to determine who is speeding and who is not.
While radar is still used on many cars and serves a different function, laser is not picked up by radar detectors. Even if you were to purchase a laser detector, the laser is only transmitted when a deputy shoots it at your vehicle.
"Meaning, but the time you're locked in and the detector alerts you, it's already too late. You're caught," said Deputy James Marshall of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Victorville station.
Lasers can detect speeds from roughly 1,000 feet away and several models can calculate both speed and distance, while others measure distance only.
interesting huh?!! =) lol|||Good for the Police!! There are way too many speeders here!! (Northern California) Maybe it will help decrease the unbelievable accident rate and make the roads safer for those of us that actually obey the traffic laws.........
I am going to California next weekend for my 14th birthday! Where are some places that I should go and see. I will be around Los Angeles and Anaheim. I am also going to Disnyeland what are somethings like rides that I should go on? Thanks!|||Pirates of the Carribean...a must.

Since you will be in Orange County, spend at least one day at the beach. I recommend "Huntington Beach". Lots to do there.
Long Beach is not far away and you may like, to see "the Queen Mary" or "The Aquarium of the Pacific", and the "Pike" (an amusement park). I'm not too sure if a 13 year old would like going to Catalina Island or not, but the boat ride over is really cool.
Just know that the "real" California is not like what you see on T.V. & the movies, so at your age I would stay away from Hollywood for now. The streets are not paved with gold, and you won't see celebrities on every corner. You can return when you get older to visit there.|||Go to Disneyland, and Magic Mountain. the beaches are cool, and cruise around Hollywood. Have Fun!|||Hi,
I moved to CA from MI in '86, lived in San Diego until moving north of there to Ontario, CA. San Diego is a beautiful city, with Balboa Park and zoo, Sea World (a must!), Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, LaJolla (hang gliding, a super clean beach and upscale shopping), Old Town.
In the Los Angeles area there are: Disneyland (too many cool places to mention - you'd love it all), Knotts Berry Farm, Beverly Hills (drive past some mansions), Universal Studios (fun) in Hollywood.
You can cruise out to Santa Catalina Island, 26 miles off the coast (it's beautiful).
The area by Big Sur is fantastic (huge cliffs dropping to the ocean). Big Sur is the farthest north I've been in the state.
Someday I want to see the tall redwood trees and explore the wine growing regions in the north.
If you like deserts, there are Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Mojave and Death Valley.
Too much to see and do! Have a great trip! 鈽?br>
p.s. The In n' Out Arian is referring to has great burgers.|||I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific, California's a big place :-)|||go to a place called in and out|||first off either go to the coast, los angeles, or the mountains. i live in the central valley in the middle of nowhere. when i went to d.c. everyone freaked out and thought i lived next door to a movie start. just don't thinkt that california is all amazing and better than you'll expect, because it's just another state.
whats your favorite part about living in hollywood, california? or somewhere else california. favorite stores, restraunts,etc. anywhere, just tell me! i want to live there when i get older and i might go this coming summer or summer of 2010.|||i live in san diego but i have gone to los angeles and san francisco, cali's largest cities. but i wouldn't live anywhere else but san diego. what i really like about SD is the weather, the people, activities and the lifestyle. the weather is sunny year round and we can go to the beach every day if we want to and u never get bored. i guess the atmosphere of the city and just the idea of living in california maybe even makes me say "don't you wish you lived in california?"
it's just really cool, the beaches, very nice people especially around the coast and downtown areas. a variety of cultures and everyone just going about their business in a big city but in a relaxed fashion.
definitely move to san diego because LA is just like a big city but yo have to be in like central LA to grasp it whereas in SD you can be anywhere and it just feels different. San Francisco is really exciting too. maybe even more than SD but there it just depends on your preferences. when you come really take the time to explore SD and SF to decide for yourself. San Francisco is mostly a high end city with rich people and everything is close being the city of SF is just 7 by 7 miles. it all depends on your preferences|||I don't live in Hollywood anymore, but I grew up there and visit my parents often. Mostly, I enjoy the food places. There's Pink's on LaBrea that serves what most people consider the best chili dogs in the world. There's the Hot Wings Cafe on Melrose between LaBrea and Highland. I usually get a tray of 100! There's the California Chicken Cafe also on Melrose between LaBrea and Highland. The chicken pasta salad is great! If you're young, the Jack In The Box on Highland is open 24/7. There's just too many places to name. Hollywood just has to be experienced.|||go swimming at el matador beach in malibu (dont kill me locals xD)[DONT GO SWIMMING AT VENICE!!! despite the frequent good water ratings, the entire storm drain system for l.a. lets out at venice beach..

- telegraph hill/coit tower*
- lombard st.*
- marina district
- broadway*
- marin headlands*
- embarcadero

- golden gate park*
- museum of modern art
- san francisco zoo*
- california academy of sciences
- chinatown
- japenese tea garden*
- the presidio*
* excellent for photography|||San Francisco...it's a freaken tourist haven...if you like pics...try golden gate park in the morning where the fog covers up all of the bridge except the peaks.

It all depends on where in CA you are going. In my neck of the woods - there are lots of rivers and lakes and beautiful Mt. Shasta. We are not near the ocean. But if you like small towns and forrest and trees, come to the Northern most part of CA. If you want big city fun try San Francisco - Bay Area.|||Drive the Pacific Coast Highway either from Monterey down to LA/Santa Monica or vice versa.
