Why, pray tell, do government agencies charge MORE for the privilege of submitting payment online versus mailing in a check? I know that credit card processing has a fee associated with it, but to tack on extra fees on top of that is just gouging and counterproductive.

It costs a lot more to have clerks open mail and deposit checks manually, after all.

Bitter because of having to pay FREAKING $470 for a camera ticket in Elk Grove for failure to stop on a right turn AND THEN PAY TONS OF FEES ON TOP OF THAT -->

It's also bizarre to me that they list all of the offenders and their fine in a PDF on their web site: http://saccourt.ca.gov/traffic... -- I know it's public information, but still.

I thought camera tickets in CA were pretty much unenforceable right now. You might do some research before you submit that payment.

Sparky, I did some research at http://www.ehow.com/how_504... and http://www.highwayrobbery.net/ and while I think I'd have a decent shot fighting it, the video they have of me failing to stop while turning right on a red light is pretty conclusive.

Could be a fun day to work from home - this is the day the flippers across the street have suddenly decided to put on a much needed new roof before selling. This is also the day that it's supposed to rain for the first time in recorded history in So Cal. Planning for the win!

Hmm they ripped off all the roof including plywood by 9am this morning. Since then nothing, nothing but rain off and on and a naked roof. My guess they hired one company to do demo and another to do the roof the next day and didn't plan on rain.

"Most folks who resolved to cut down on coffee this year are driven by the simple desire for self-improvement. But for coffee drinkers in 17th century Turkey, there was a much more concrete motivating force: a big guy with a sword. Sultan Murad IV, a ruler of the Ottoman Empire, would not have been a fan of Starbucks. Under his rule the consumption of coffee was a capital offense."

"The sultan was so intent on eradicating coffee that he would disguise himself as a commoner and stalk the streets of Istanbul with a hundred-pound broadsword. Unfortunate coffee drinkers were decapitated as they sipped. Murad IV's successor was more lenient. The punishment for a first offense was a light cudgeling.

"Perhaps the bawdiest argument against coffee was "The Womens [sic] Petition Against Coffee," published in England in 1674. Brimming with innuendos that would make Shakespeare blush, the six page manifesto blamed coffee for every type of impotence. Monarchs and tyrants publicly argued that coffee was poison for the bodies and souls of their subjects, but Mark Pendergrast — author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World — says their real concern was political."

This is interesting since coffee drinking/coffee houses (cafes) were started off by the Ottomans (i really hate this word, lol, it's not even remotely Turkish)

I-10 foul-up that caused five-hour jam ends in job reassignments - latimes.com - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow...
Anne Bouey and Soup in a TARDIS liked this
"California Department of Transportation staff have been reassigned following a foul-up Sunday that forced a 25-mile backup on the 10 freeway west of Palm Springs on Sunday, leaving motorists stranded for hours, according to media reports. The dramatic backup, stemming from a pothole repair gone awry, came at the worst possible location -– along the remote mountain pass connecting Palm Springs west toward the Riverside area. If the 10 Freeway is closed there, there is no easy escape. The jam was so severe, causing waits of five hours or more, that some people were forced to relieve themselves on the freeway shoulder, according to the Desert Sun newspaper of Palm Springs. One man from Rancho Mirage told the Desert Sun the delays cost him $1,200 after he missed his flight to Europe."

Sinus infection? Antibiotics won't help - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2012...
Kevin Johnson, ☆彡Jazzy-B, imabonehead and 2 other people liked this
"- Roughly 20% of the antibiotic prescriptions written in the United States for adults each year are for sinus infections. That's an impressive statistic, given that doctors and public health officials have long doubted that antibiotics can successfully treat the condition. A new study, published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, appears to confirm those doubts: The antibiotic amoxicillin was no better than placebo at improving the congestion, cough, runny nose, pain, and other symptoms that accompany sinus infections (also known as acute sinusitis), researchers found."

My daughter had a bad sinus infection, which 2 doctors did not prescribe antibiotics -(31/2 wk period)...She was also a basketball player and during this episode, suffered an injury (slight fissure) on the eyebrow bone... The infection leaked from the sinus cavities to back behind the lens to the macula...as a result nerves and supportive tissue were damaged.causing a malformed droopy...

After Egypt revolution, women's taste of equality fades - latimes.com - http://www.latimes.com/news...
Eivind, Kelli H., Shevonne and Anne Bouey liked this
"Reporting from Cairo— Bothaina Kamel is a novelty and a provocation in a single breath. The only woman running for Egypt's presidency, she travels without an entourage, wears a bracelet that says "Make poverty history," can outlast the most exasperating heckler in the crowd, and has no chance of winning. "I want to create culture shock. Yes, a woman is running for president," says Kamel, a television presenter and ex-wife of a former cultural minister. "Some people have come up to me and asked, 'Is it even legal for a woman to run?' I hope to set a trend, to open a door. A girl sent me a Twitter: 'You have given us a chance to dream.'" Kamel campaigns often in Tahrir Square. It represents, she says, the spirit of what Egypt could be. But the farther one travels from Tahrir Square, the more the revolutionary fervor that overthrew Hosni Mubarak fades. Much of the country is tired. People want to fold away the epic of last year and get on with the business of life, no matter how...
