Commission of lies, company of duplicity
don bauder That's an old line. Dwbat just applied a different connotation to it.— May 4, 2015 5:19 p.m.
Commission of lies, company of duplicity
donbauder, If memory serves me correctly, which it usually does, Katheleen Brown was on the Countrywide board for less than 2 yrs and resigned her position very suddenly in early 2007. I believe that the FBI didn't start investigating Countrywide and Angelo Mozilo until 2008. I can't see them delaying an investigation for at least a year AFTER she left.— May 4, 2015 5:15 p.m.
Commission of lies, company of duplicity
don bauder My comment was directed to captd/founder. He has brought up Kathleen Brown on several occasions and I would like to know what his point is, other that being Jerry Brown's sister, which, despite what some say, is not a crime in and of itself.— May 4, 2015 5:11 p.m.
Commission of lies, company of duplicity
Kathleen Brown is also on the board of the National Park foundation and was on the board of the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, So what's your point??— May 4, 2015 1:47 p.m.
No están los mas machos ahora
don bauder the trial for attempted murder that ImJustABill referred to in his comment, the one that my reply was directed to.— May 4, 2015 10:09 a.m.
No están los mas machos ahora
The trial doesn't start until September.— May 3, 2015 6:49 a.m.
Encinitas schools have scrubbed their yoga programs clean
don bauder, If someone wants yoga to be a religion, they can practice it that way. If they don't think of it as a religion, then it isn't. Depends on the teacher and the student. One can make anything into a religion if they so choose; you can make bacon a religion. But someone gaining spiritual insight or enlightenment doesn't have to mean religion. My wife practiced yoga. She started back in the seventies when we moved to San Diego, when she started going with her aunt. It was definitely not about religion. I read once that images were once found of a meditating yogi, thought to be 7-8 thousand years old, from the Indus Valley civilization during the bronze age.— April 30, 2015 8:52 a.m.
This is a job for the master of disaster
don bauder, Not that it really matters, but Lance Armstrong is a cyclist/doper, not a biker/doper.— April 30, 2015 8:29 a.m.
Water deal with Imperial Valley on the line
A couple of geologic points. The Sallton Sea, for all intents and purposes, existed before the formation of the Gulf of California. The area that roughly includes the Coachella and Imperial Valleys and the western half of the Mexicali Valley and the Colorado River delta in Mexico, is called the Salton Trough. The Colorado River has been filling the Salton Trough with sediments for almost 6 million years. That sediment covers over 3000square miles and is up to 3.5 miles deep. Only about 4-5 million years ago, what is now the Baja Peninsula began to split from the mainland of Mexico and the waters of the Pacific began to create the Gulf of California. The area of the Coachella and Imperial valleys, as far north as Indio, would indeed be part of the Gulf of California today, except for the sediments deposited over millions of years by the Colorado River were already in place. The south end of the San Andreas,near Box Canyon 40 miles from Palm Springs, ends in the Brawley seismic zone and the area includes the Elsinore, Imperial, Laguna Salada and San Jacinto fault zones. About 5 yrs ago, there was a 7.2 earthquake in the area. The epicenter was in Baja, along the Laguna Salada fault about 30 miles south of the US/Mexico border. It would take something a hell of a lot bigger than that for your "prediction" to come to fruition. As they say, ocean front property in Yuma.— April 29, 2015 8:33 a.m.
Daytrip to the Salton Sea
The last time I took that route was just about 2 yrs ago. I was returning to OC from Arizona and was going to stop off in PS for a few days. I don't remember the smell, which I have experienced many, many times over the years. Perhaps the reason is that I was stuck behind a line of trucks hauling onions from Brawley and even after I got by them, I couldn't smell anything else for a while. Blessing in disguise, I guess.— April 28, 2015 7:51 a.m.
