Californian Racial Neurotics
2008-08-23 15:15:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated August 24:As usual, this blog has been accused of being incoherent on race, and furthermore, I've been accused of being a racist myself, as usual. The person doing the accusing is apparently himself a White racist of the White Nationalist variety.He says that any anti-racist would never call a Black man a "nigger" (Yes, I did this once about 15 years ago or so), and an anti-racist would not care anything about his neighborhood, city, county, metropolitan area or state being turned from 80% White into 90% Black or Korean or whatever, or the United Nations, even overnight. He also said that since I talk about race all the time, I must be a racist.That's a pretty strange definition of anti-racism. I suppose that the typical anti-racist crazies would not care about such a thing, but your average White Californian is not too happy about r...

Fashion Diary: A Californian Fascinates the French
2007-10-03 03:08:00 Paris Skip to next paragraph Greg Kessler for The New York Times FIRST JOSEPHINE BAKER ... Rick Owens backstage at his spring presentation in Paris. Complete CoverageParis Fashion WeekCoverage of the European Fashion Weeks from London, Milan and Paris, including reviews, Cathy Horyn's blog and photographs. --> Blog On the RunwayCathy Horyn writes that, judging from his Paris show, Nicolas Ghesquiere's vision seems incredibly precise and clear, maybe more than ever. Anti-Americanism is an old story among the French, a stance that hardly began with the current adventure in Iraq. As easily as the French took to Starbucks, iPods and Nike, they still stand ready to pull up the cultural drawbridge at any sign that their Gallic essence is in jeopardy.So it’s interesting to note the success and increasing importance on the scene of an American designer like Rick Owens, a Californian who in some ways is as homegrown a commodity as the burgers, jeans and popcorn movies that the Fr...

Tree the fourth: Sequoia sempervirens - Californian Redwood Tree
2007-08-25 19:09:00 It's recommended as an indoor tree by the Montreal Botanical Garden. Canadians don't lie. Right? Californian Redwoods are the tallest living trees on earth. Just the thought of growing one of these as a bonsai is fascinating!The others have been in the press now for a week and there's still no sign of shooting. I know it's still probably too soon but I got these Redwood seeds today to keep hope alive. They don't require any stratification so once I soaked them I put them straight into the hot press and turned the heat on! When I was reading about them on the web I came across an unpleasant fact. Unpleasant to me who is trying to grow trees from seeds anyway. Californian Redwoods can produce up to six million seeds a year but less than 5% of these germinate. Of those that do germinate only a few survive and grow into seedlings. Odds like this are a little discouraging to me since I probably only have three or four seeds in my little pot.

Californian Cruising
2007-07-24 10:30:00 I love that LA has allowed the Beckham's to chill, somewhat. I can not remember a time when I ever saw Victoria driving. She looks fabulous here behind the wheel of her custom-made Bentley.It has been reported that Victoria is furious at Paris Hilton who described the her husband as "hot".She has allegedly told friends that Paris and other young Hollywood stars - including Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears - better keep their hands off David.A source told Britain's Star magazine: "This move to Los Angeles means everything to her. She is happier with David than ever and sees this as an exciting chapter for her and their boys."Although she trusts David 100 per cent, she will not tolerate any of the Los Angeles party girls making a move on him, or seeing him as fair game. She wants this to be very clear from the start - David is a devoted family man and these women should forget about trying it on with him."The young Hollywood club crowd, such as Lindsay, Paris and Britney, are posi...

Californians More Efficient Than Most
2007-06-06 14:47:00 Although California ranks second in total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that cause global warming, the U.S.?s most populous state is also one of the lowest emitters on a per-capita basis. That?s right; the average Californian emits fewer CO2 emissions than people in all other states except Idaho, Vermont, and Rhode Island. According an Associated Press analysis of 2003 data (the latest U.S. Department of Energy numbers available), Californians are responsible for about 24,000 pounds of CO2 per person per year. In comparison, Wyoming emits 276,000 pounds per capita annually. True, California has less heavy industry that many other states, and mild weather means residents aren?t blasting the heat or air conditioning as often as others. But although Californians drive just as far, live in homes just as big, and have just as many gadgets, the analysis found that policies put in place in the last 30 years have made the Golden State more efficient than almost any other.

Anti-Immigration Councilor Creates Californian Art Controversy
2007-03-28 20:03:00 IntroIs it propaganda or is it art? An exhibit addressing issues faced by non-status immigrants in California is taking heat from a local city councillor, who condemns the art as "political propaganda". Entitled "Mi Corazon Escondido" (My Hidden Heart), the exhibit is meant to reflect life in Escondido as lived by people of Mexican heritage. City councillor Sam Abed has attacked the exhibit as too "political" and "divisive". Abed clearly likes to keep his art and politics well separated: "It's a pro-illegal political propaganda that promotes violence and divisiveness at a cultural facility that is supposed to embrace art, culture and diversity." Abed should know about divisiveness. Along with a couple like minded councillors, he led the city in a battle to keep non-status immigrants out of town. There's nothing like separating families to get a community all uppity. Immigrants and immigrant rights activists took to city hall for several demonstrations, with anti-immigran...

Californian's Get a Break in 2007
2007-02-01 10:12:03 Among new laws taking effect for investment property sales after January 1, 2007 , this one gives a break to most real estate investment property sellers.Here's an excerp from a San Francisco newpaper article:-- Lower withholding on property sales: If you sell any type of real estate other than your primary residence for more than $100,000 in California, the escrow company is usually required to withhold part of the proceeds for state taxes.The old withholding rate was 3.33 percent of the sales price."Many times that resulted in over-withholding," says Denise Azimi, a spokeswoman for the California Franchise Tax Board. Sellers had to wait until they filed their return to recoup the excess tax.Now you have a choice: You can request withholding at the old rate or an amount equal to your estimated capital gain, taxed at your marginal state-tax rate, which for most individuals is 9.3 percent.If you sold a $1 million property with a $100,000 capital gain, under the old law your withhold...

Californian Bar Association gets radical on drugs
2007-01-02 21:59:06 Do-nothing legislators-Time to Act Again-Legalize all Plants Ini Comment posted by Anonymous on Thu, 12/28/2006 - 10:20pm from Drug War Chronicle: Law Enforcement: This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories The California do-nothing legislature had been keeping marijuana related activities as felonies even though many of us who have enjoyed marijuana for many decades are now members of the establishment. Some people say the lawmakers themselves are in on the drug prohibition scams because drug prohibition is what keeps the flows of money going into the special feeding troughs for the prosecutors, pd's, prison and jail screws; judges; parole agents; rehab and prop 36 programs and other pigs so that the legislators will never act on their own to terminate drug prohibition which is the sole source of supply of food for them to grovel out to the state employees who are really the ones who keep these legislators in office. Whether because of public corruption or simple incompetence the legislat... |
