 From living room furniture to the beds and the tables that go elsewhere, everything should follow a theme. The bathrooms cannot be classic if the rest of the house including the flooring as well as the furniture is contemporary. Minor features like candles etc can be adjusted somehow.
Power Outages Accompany Sweltering Temperatures
'Four Days Straight' Of Record Consumption Leads To Blackouts
LOS ANGELES -- Scattered power outages linked to near-record heat and record-setting demand have blacked out various neighborhoods across the city Saturday.
As of mid-afternoon, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power estimated that 5,700 customers, both businesses and residences, were without air conditioners or refrigerators at some point during the afternoon, in temperatures above 90 degrees.
Neighborhoods that were affected by the scattered problems included Mount Olympus, Silver Lake, Koreatown, Highland Park, Cypress Park, Eagle Rock and Atwater Village. {emp. mine-LN} Four days of above 90 and they have blackouts. We went 7 days above 100 with none. The energy production in the west is abyssmal at best and criminal at worst.
In the Tennessee Valley region we had 5 (I think) straight days with over 33,000 Megawatts of output (high point output) without any problems (until fire on a transformer knocked out a 500kV line and caused a plant to shut down a unit for safety reasons and a transformer problem in north Alabama caused a blackout to parts of a city, no 'production' blackouts). The deregulation of the energy industry in California was a bold move when it occurred but people are still paying for it.
Competition is great, but only if there are enough people to supply the demand needed.Labels: California, electricity, Tennessee Valley |

| Welfare Cuts |
NPR is reporting that Gov. Schwarzenegger is going to cut welfare for illegals.
Nation California Governor to Propose State Welfare Cuts 
Day to Day, January 8, 2007 · California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to propose a major reduction in the state's welfare funding. Families whose primary workers are in the country illegally are among those likely to be affected by the rollback. Los Angeles Times reporter Evan Halper talks with Alex Chadwick about the proposed cuts.(link)
Seems my real player didn't want me to listen to the interview so I can't really tell you much about it. The pro-illegal group (ie. most democrats) will be up in arms over this reduction of 'rights' to a group of people that have no business in this country.
This doesn't really seem like something we would see from the new 'centrist' Arnold either, but it is good news for the Americans living in California. Too many illegal immigrants are granted free rides in our system simply because of liberal fancy. The media and most left wing people concentrate on branding right-wingers and the secure border people as against immigration when that simply is not true. We are against ILLEGAL immigration, there's a world of difference in the two. This country was founded on people immigrating from one place or another to live, work and become part of this country. The U.S. shouldn't be the mother of all the world's peoples simply because their country of origin is less than perfect.
If people want to become Americans, then become Americans. The process is not easy, but well worth it. If you want to be a proud citizen of Mexico, or Cuba, or any other country, then don't do it by illegally living in the United States.
Personal note: I slept all day today (took my medication when I got home from work) so I'm probably missing alot of news out there, leave me a tip for something good to read.
