BOGUS PROPERTY TAX RELIEF SCAM
March 22, 2010The Oregon Attorney General’s office is warning Oregon property owners about a California company flooding the mail with bogus property tax relief notices. The mailings contain official-sounding phrases like, ‘regional processing center’, and, ‘2010 property tax reduction form’. The company offers to attempt to lower property taxes for a $189 fee. The AG’s office says anyone can do that for free at any county Assessor’s office. If you have sent money to the scammers, call the Oregon Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9392.

PARKING METER GOOD SAMARITAN INNOCENT
March 19, 2010The Eugene parking meter good samaritan has been acquitted. A Eugene judge ruled that the city prosecutor had n0t proven that Ben Bond threatened to commit a crime against meter maid Maria Velasquez. Bond went so far as to say that Velasquez lied in court when she testified that he told her he was going to keep her from doing her job, and called her names in a profanity-laced tirade. Witnesses for Bond said he seemed calm at the time and Velasquez did not seem frightened as she testified. After the acquittal, Bond said he would express his displeasure and race ahead of a meter maid to feed meters all over again.

New Facebook Virus
March 18, 2010There is a new Facebook Virus Alert. If you recieve any email that asks you to reset your password or open any attachment please delete the email without opening it.

SIGNS OF SPRING
March 10, 2010Gas prices are shooting up as fast as Spring flowers. The Oregon average for a gallon of regular went up six cents last week to $2.87, according to the Oregon AAA. Another sign of Spring happens this Sunday, when we set clocks ahead an hour. By the way, the state’s Fire Marshal is asking you to test your smoke detector batteries when you change the hands on that clock. Just testing the batteries is recommended these days, not automatically replacing them. That’s because many detectors have lithium batteries that last ten years.

Wetsuits With Style
May 25, 2009Wetsuits are usually plain…black…boring. Well, one designer isn’t too happy about that and has set out to change the face of the scene by adding some texture.
Diddo has applied various textures to wetsuits using “custom inks and unique printing techniques” to create something new. Although I’ve never surfed, wake boarded or done any such activity that requires a wet suit, I do have to say these are quite exciting. There are examples of suits bearing very fitting textures—a whale shark’s skin and the muscles of the human body. As well as more unique and humorous—rusting metal and a simulated shark attack!
