Now is the time
To buy a Solar Panel Cleaning service franchise!
Scientists fear impact of Asian pollutants on U.S.
By some estimates more than 10 billion pounds of airborne pollutants fromAsia — ranging from soot to mercury to carbon dioxide to ozone — reachthe U.S. annually. The problem is only expected to worsen: Some Chineseofficials have warned that pollution in their country could quadruple in the
next 15 years

It was the Real Thing!
Statesman/Journal headline: Police quickly quell gang fight at state fair, arrest eight juveniles
Troopers remove 33 people; incident viewed as anomaly
Somehow this Fair Fight was a real Gang fight and not written off as just a Gang related event or just happened to involve some suspected Gang Members.
I agree with the anomaly tag as its the first time they have been so bold as to gather in such a populated and controlled area and to ignore the warnings given them by Police and security staff.
Lets see how Sunday night plays out when the Pavilion hosts a Spanish language event as we might just have ourselves . . . another anomaly.
P.S. Perhaps someone is looking for federal funding to help make the Fairgrounds Gang Fight Resistant?
P.S. #2 Just as Salem's Cinco de Mayo celebration quietly disappeared it seems the Fair no longer suffers a Special area dedicated to Spanish speaking visitors.

Wouldn't it be better,
If rather than teach Oregon Prison Inmates how to manufacture Fine Office Furnishings (suitable only for established attorneys, elected government officials and State bureaucrats) they gained experience in cleaning, painting and reconditioning used vehicles and other items of value the State seeks to sell through their Surplus Property facility.
Take a look at all what the State of Oregon is hoping to sell here http://www.oregonsurplus.com/ and under the headings: Vehicles & Heavy Equipment in Oregon Surplus & Seized & Recovered Property in Oregon.
Now tell me, if any of those items was yours listed on eBay would you have done more to improve the appearance of the items offered? Note: I'm not suggesting using mirrors with silk pillows.
I suspect there is greater real world education value to be found in preparing and showcasing marketable used goods than hand rubbing exotic wood to a high gloss.
But then what do I know as I'm just a taxpayer with decades of sales experience.
All for the sake of gathering statistics.
One detail remains consistent with these Police reports telling of a serious MVAs, is if the persons involved were wearing seat belts and if the airbags had deployed.
This confirms that primary purpose behind the Multi-hour and Economy Killing traffic accident investigations is to determine if those devices had been employed.
Therefore, we taxpayers can be seriously delayed in our travels or sit in a traffic jam for many hours so in the future our government can report how many people were injured or hurt in MVAs and were not protected by seat belts or air bags.

Marion Co. Sheriff's Office - 08/26/08
On August 25, 2008 at approx. 5 p.m. Marion County Sheriff's Office responded to a single vehicle crash on Marion-Jefferson Road SE at Skelton Rd SE, outside of Jefferson, Oregon. Four people to include the driver who was identified as Falon Rae Williams, DOB: 08/23/1985, occupied the vehicle. Ms. Williams provide an Albany, Oregon residence address. The other occupants were Michael Evan Matthews, DOB:03/03/1985 of Tangent, Oregon; Paul Hartzell, DOB:11/28/1990 of Jefferson, Oregon and Ms. Crisman, Rebeckah Jo Ann, DOB:03/27/1992 of Junction City, Oregon. Ms. Crisman, who was seated in the right rear seat was transported to Albany General Hospital where she later died of her injuries at approx. 1:08 a.m. (August 26th). The Marion County Sheriff's Office CRASH Team responded to investigate. All occupants were transported to various hospitals. Ms. Williams was transported to Good Sanitarian Hospital in Corvallis. Her injuries were minor and she was subsequently released. Mr. Matthews who was in the front passenger seat had sustained at least a fractured leg. He was transported and admitted to Good Samarian Hospital. Mr. Hartzell who was a rear seat passenger sustained internal injuries and was transported to Albany General Hospital and then sent to OSHU where he was admitted.
Based upon the investigation it was determined the vehicle had crashed into a tree. The impact did deploy the vehicle's (2002 Ford Taurus)airbags. It is unknown at this time whether the occupants had been wearing their safety belts. None of the occupants were thrown from the vehicle. It is suspected Ms. Crisman was not wearing a safety belt.
The investigation revealed that Ms. Williams had deliberately inhaled gas vapors from a CO2 cylinder prior to the crash. It is believed the inhalation or "huffing" of these gases impaired Ms. Williams' ability to safely operate the vehicle.
Ms. Williams were arrested and transported to the Marion County Jail where she was lodged on charges of Manslaughter in the Second Degree; Assault in the Second degree (two counts); and Driving While under the Influence of Inhalants.
The vehicle crash is still under investigation.

Don't worry about that!
Things like your mortgage or your credit card debt.
Or, your 401k and your job or the future of your career field or your kids schools or your house value or high energy prices or the murders in the local news every night or the criminal aliens wandering the streets and hoping to kidnap your children or just about anything that might otherwise cause you concern.
Nah, just forget about all that and put all your effort and totally focus on Being Green and to the point of disgust.
With the help of our Liberal media empire we will see to it that your efforts will become so engulfing you won't have time to concern yourself with any . . . trivial realities.
This message brought to you by the creators of the .com calamity and the sub-prime predicament.

The media people are killing them!
Taser International Inc Stock Symbol TASR: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=TASR&t=1y
News people everywhere keep referring to all Stun Guns as Tasers and all persons hit with a Stun Gun as those having been Tasered. Tasered???
This is no more correct than describing all persons injured in a car accident as having been Chevroleted for Forded.
Taser is a brand name of a Stun Gun and I suspect any person zapped with a Taser would then have been . . . Tazed.
And, any person zapped with a Generic Stun Gun would then be described as having been Stunned.
Have any doubt please Google the words "Stun Gun" and I suspect you will likely come up with 1,430,000 hits in 00.7 seconds (or less) and Tasers will be among them.
News folks please give the Taser folks a break as their products have saved untold numbers of lives and many more persons from suffering unnecessary injuries.
Any more unintended bashing will only cause more suffering.
Late up date: 8-24-08 It looks as people in the industry join me in the concern. To all of them, you are welcome.

The Word on Wall Street!
Is the manufacturers and retailers that have been able to succeed in these tough economic times are those that have been best at managing inventories and thus controlling their costs. Lean and mean is the byword for survival.
Its those who can benefit from "Just in Time Deliveries" of needed material (manufacturers) or finished products (retailers) are who is winning and their time windows are being measured in minutes and hours, not days.
The reality of this needed efficiency is hitting home hard in Oregon where we have not seen any major improvement in our roads and freeways in several decades and what changes that have been made have slowed the flow of traffic and our economic lifeblood, commerce.
The changes, or better said encumbrances we suffer, range from turning lanes being lost to bike paths to the constant Traffic Accident Investigations that close major roadways for hour upon hour while every grit of sand over a wide area is documented infinitum for posterity.
Our governments efforts in Traffic Calming and restricting the use of motor vehicles has suffocated our economy and if we begin to make things right today it will be years before we can catch up with the more progressive parts of our nation and the world, if even then.
Guess its time for we Oregonians to cut bait and think of the good-old-days as we watch businesses leave our state for parts where they are both understood and appreciated.
What I have learned from taking Ginkgo Biloba
I don't believe it really helps my memory.
However, I do think its likely part of the Marijuana family as forgetting something isn't much of a concern to me anymore and verifying stories people tell me seems a colossal waste of time.

Liberal Food?
I discovered a new Bread that contains No flour and is made of 96% organic ingredients.
Not only does it have the look and feel of a health food it also has a good aroma when toasted.
But that's where it ends as its 100% devoid of taste and leaves me wondering why someone would bother to bake it a second time.
That unless they are a Democrat and have never tasted their recipe.
Chicken Feed!
The Chinese Sovereign Investment Fund (their Government) is said to have $2.7 Billion dollars invested in Fannie & Freddie and to them the exposure to potential loss is a concern.
The Portland areas control group (Governments & friends) want to build a $6.5 Billion dollar bridge and taxpayers shrug it off.
Hope they don't plan on borrowing that $6.5 Billion from the Chinese Government.

Here we go again!
It looks as Russia has given up on free market capitalism and reverted to their dictatorial ways.
Could it be because:
#1 They recognize its impossible for them to compete with China who enjoys the ability to better handle the Islamic threat? Iraq being a prime example.
#2 That controlling the flow of oil is key to maintaining a world power?

Two for Two
Today, was the second day in a row that Salem Police released reports of their being Homicides having occurred in the city.
The first report was of a person having died from a beating and the second from a shooting.
What I find disturbing is area TV News stations spent less that 10 seconds of air-time in reporting the two Murder stories.

Comparably, tire slashing and how to 'Be Safe" during hot weather took headline honors.
I can only assume the news folks didn't see the events as being all that unusual and worthy of in-depth reporting as the two Killings involved people of the Hispanic Sub-Culture.
Has Diversity been Embraced when the loss of human life becomes of minimal concern?

Let me guess the outcome
Headline: State Task Force on Obesity to meet
I predict it ultimately will result in a new DHS division that will be staffed with nutritionists and educators who will be tasked with creating a New out-reach program targeting the overly plump, single, working mother, who on the way home often grabs a boat load of fast-foot to feed her hungry latch-key kids.
You know, the mom who calls the kids on the cell phone while waiting in McD's drive-up line (in her super-safe SUV) and that to learn of their menu choices. Remember, Rachael doesn't want any lettuce or tomatoes and Terrance wants double mayo.
So how will they reach their targets? Require all employers (with a staff of 5 or more) to hire State Certified consultants who will conduct monthly (during business hours) nutrition-choice workshops for all employees, anoretic or not.
You can bet a Twinkie the Governor's Task Force won't suggest the Oregon's Food Stamp recipients (Oregon Trail Card holders) limit their grocery purchases to healthy foods only.

Working Stupid!
Construction begins on 3 1/2 mile, $57M San Diego border fence
"It's crazy," said Victor Clark Alfaro, director of the Binational Center for Human Rights in Tijuana. "I don't see the justification to spend $60 million on an area that's no longer an important crossing."

Absolutely Amazing!
That we humans managed to survive all those many years without having TV News Medical Reporters warn us (several times during a newscast) that we must Stay Hydrated during hot weather . . . or we will suffer!
Not only that but we enjoy hearing such words as "You Must Stay Hydrated so as to Not Become Dehydrated" spoken by a ranking person with the local Fire/Medical Department.
Six figure incomes and we suffer such profound statements.
Chuck Darwin would turn in his grave.

Not so fast there!
News has it, the Marion County DA disputes claims the 6 person Stabbing last weekend in Mt. Angel as being a Gang Fight.
Perhaps it was just a Diversity Embracement Engagement that may have been Gang Related or sometimes known as Mexican Cultural Rallies.
Gotta admit the Mexicans don't need Gang Membership Cards to have a good knife fight.
Either way the Mini-mart across the tracks from Railroad Ave. is not somewhere you would take the kids for an ice cream sandwich.
What you bet that little event takes a few thousand dollars away from the Octoberfest?
So maybe the church helping Illegal Aliens set up households and obtain drivers licenses wasn't such a good idea after all.
Si Padre?

Time we did some Testing!
That to Re-examine the Thousands of Spanish Speaking people who gained their Drivers Licenses from the Private School Contractors that Oregon's DMV allowed to act on their behalf.
Yes, those Spanish Language Driver Training Schools that charged thousands of dollars per student and pumped them out in two days (or less) of training.
Its been proven in Court that many of them were Illegal Aliens the schools helped gain their licenses with using false documents. Therefore I think it only logical to assume that for those fees they also let many skip the driving skill portions of the test.
If you have any doubt just pay attention to the names in the news of those found responsible for many of the deadly car accidents.

Here we go again!
Georgia on my mind!
In true US fashion I suspect we will soon gain a few Hundred Thousand new Political Refugees, or at least as many of the known Criminals and Prison Inmates they can export to us in the next few months.

Just as we did following the Hungarian revolt in 1956 and the revolution in Cuba in 1959.
They should mix well with the 20 million Worst of the Worst that Mexico has recently dumped on us.

Multnomah County (Portland) suddenly has 100 vacant Jail beds!
Based on the reduced level of Police calls to violent situations in the Salem area I suspect that Marion County may also be enjoying a similar decline in Jail population.
My bet is there is also a reduction in the need for Spanish/English Interpreters as well.
Do you suppose we might hear Wall Street declaring more losses due to Sub-Prime Auto Loan holders having skipped South of the Border?

The animal takes a Plea
Leonel Zurita-Loeza, charged with first-degree manslaughter in the death of a mother of seven on Mother's Day, has accepted a plea offer by the Yamhill County District Attorney's office.
He is the Illegal Alien who slaughtered Dayton resident Carma Colleen Smith, 52. A mother of seven and grandmother of four, who then had recently celebrated her 33rd wedding anniversary.

But wait, there is more!!
Termination Time in Texas was 6 pm Tuesday
That is when Mexican citizen Jose Ernesto Medellin, 33, who was convicted for the 1993 rape and murder of two teenagers was to be executed in Texas by lethal injection.

Lucky for us, our US Supreme Court had rejected his last-ditch appeal paving the way for him to be put to death despite a World Court Order for a stay of execution.
But wait, there is more!!
But wait, there is more!!
51 other Mexican Citizens are facing execution in the US and Mexico has complained to the World Court that none were informed of their right to consular access and assistance during trial as provided under the Vienna Convention.
Pack sand you bastards. Its your turn.

Has the Welcome Mat disintegrated?
If the present reduced level of Spanish Speakers seen in and around Salem is any evidence of Illegal Aliens Leaving the US for home, I suspect our Schools are going to see a drastic drop in Bilingual students in the Fall.
I have yet to visit Kmart and Sears to confirm what I see elsewhere but if the few in the grocery stores and restaurants are any gauge we may well have turned the corner on the Invasion.
It also seems the Police are seizing more vehicles belonging to Spanish Speakers and that for expired drivers licenses and lack of insurance. That could have a chilling effect!
What, has the Welcome Mat disintegrated?
Meanwhile, I no longer feel like a tourist when visiting a City Park, haven't suffered a bunch of out-of-control brats at Winco or listened to a Police Siren Parade for several weeks.
Gentrification accelerated?
The cities of Portland, San Francisco, New York City and Seattle requiring Fast Food restaurants to Post Calorie values of menu items will increase the Poor Folk's exodus to small towns and feed the hands of those wanting to Upgrade and/or Flip their existing residences.
Its nothing more than a Race Based money game being played by those who claim they Embrace Diversity.
