true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
I am a Seenager. (Senior
teenager)
I have everything that I wanted
as a teenager, only 60 years later.
I dont have to go to school or
work.
I get an allowance every
month.
I have my own pad.
I dont have a curfew.
I have a drivers license and
my own car.
I have ID that gets me into bars
and the whisky store.
The people I hang around with
are not scared of getting pregnant.
And I dont have acne.
Life is great.
I have more friends I should
send this to, but right now I can't
remember their names.

Founded in 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy today is a prestigious four-year service academy that prepares midshipmen
morally, mentally and physically to be professional officers in the naval service.
More than 4,400 men and women representing every state in the U.S. and several
foreign countries make up the student
body, known as the Brigade of Midshipmen. Midshipmen learn from military and
civilian instructors and participate in intercollegiate varsity sports and extracurricular activities. They also study subjects like
small arms, drill, seamanship and navigation, tactics, naval engineering and
weapons, leadership, ethics and military
law. Upon graduation, midshipmen earn
a tax-payer funded Bachelor of Science
degree in a choice of 25 different subject
majors and go on to serve at least five
years of exciting and rewarding service as
commissioned officers in the U.S. Navy or
U.S. Marine Corps.

arrange collection of your used oil at your doorstep on one of their semimonthly collection dates.
Drop off used oil at one of the Certified Collection Centers. These centers
are local auto parts stores & auto service shops that will accept used oil for
free. Businesses participating in the program will have a blue and yellow
Used Oil Collection Center sign in the window. To find the nearest location,
call 800-CLEANUP.

although there are unknown performance measures built into the deal that may
affect future race entry. Independent or non-charter teams must qualify for the
remaining four spots. Teams can own no more than four charters which can be
sold or leased once every five years with NASCAR approval. And of course, the sanctioning body will collect an administrative fee for each transfer.
Under the old system, the value of each team was
limited to tangible assets, including real estate, cars
and equipment. The latter two assets quickly depreciate in value. Now, teams have a more valuable asset
to sell, their charters.
Along with the additional security, team owners
will supposedly have a bigger voice in NASCAR decisions. Brian Frances father and grandfather must
be turning in their graves at that news. But to his
credit, Brian has operated more progressively than
his forbearers since he inherited the mantel of leadership in 2003.
The relationship between NASCAR and race
teams has alternated between distrustful and tolerant. The charter system is progress in a sport that
has experienced precious little of it in almost 70
years. It provides a modicum of security that rewards team owners and drivers for their commitment to a sport they love. Lady and gentlemen, start your engines!

implementing
regulations for urban water conservation
and incentives for investments in sustainable water supplies.
The collaboration has been much appreciated and has resulted in some determinations that affect us here in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley.
First, it has determined that it is best to extend the current
of the Orange County Groundwater Basin during California's historic four-year drought while many agencies were
facing severe local water shortages.
The State Board has recognized that without new water
supplies, the current drought conditions would be much
more severe. It has recommended a Drought Resilient
Sources of Supply Credit for potable reuse, sustainable
water supplies and desalination supplies when state conservation mandates are in place. OCWD retail water agencies
are now eligible for an 8 percent credit, effectively adjusting
their conservation savings, because of the GWRS investment. The cities of Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley
reached their conservation standards, but cities that fell short
of state mandates are now able to meet them.
The State Board provides the credit to additionally incentivize the building of sustainable water supply projects that
will help mitigate the severity of future droughts.
Working in a proactive manner to plan far in advance to
help reduce our regions dependence on imported water
sources is a hallmark of OCWD. The District is currently
exploring purchasing up to 56,000 acre-feet per year (AFY)
of desalinated seawater from the proposed Huntington
Beach Desalination Project and expanding its GWRS to provide an additional 31,000 AFY as a way to increase local
water supplies. These new sources of sustainable water supply would reduce the region's dependence on imported water
sources from Northern California and the Colorado River
that are vulnerable to drought, natural disasters and regulatory restrictions even further.
The District is pleased with the acknowledgement of investments in sustainable water supplieslike potable reuse
and desalinated waterand will continue to provide input
and guidance, working with the state and its staff on future
drought-related regulations for the betterment of Orange
County and the state of California.
Cathy Green was elected to OCWD in November 2010. She served two terms on the Huntington Beach
City Council and was Mayor twice. Huntington Beach has been home to the Green Family over 41 years

Dear EarthTalk:
Are genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
really so bad for us and the
environment, and given their prevalence in our food supply
already, how can I avoid them?

ince my last report on New Zealand, Ive tasted
through a range of bottles and found some tasty
and value-driven wines. New Zealand
really has the $12-$20 range dialed in, as
producers continue to put out fan-friendly,
popular Sauvignon Blancs, Chardonnays
and Pinot Noirs.
Sure you can spend a lot of money in
New Zealand, but for many wine drinkers
(myself included) wines like these gave me
a pleasant and rewarding introduction to
this countrys vino.
These wines were received as trade samples and tasted sighted.

ursting aromas of ruby red grapefruit, lemon pith,
tangerine, matched with flavors of lemongrass,
green pepper and sliced jalapeno. Bright acid, moderately creamy, juicy flavors of tangerine and ruby red
grapefruit, some floral perfume, a good dose of sliced
jalapeno and bell peppers with some babys breath
and honeysuckle. Not very complex, but plays the
part very well. (85 points IJB)

2016 a Tough
Year for Buyers
Arnaud Dufour
todays
thirty
year fixed rate of 3.625% that mortgage would yield a payment of
$1641.78.
Lets say that house were to drop back down to a $400,000 value.
Of course, this is not likely to happen anytime in the foreseeable
future, but lets say that it does happen a year from now. Putting
20% down would leave a loan amount of $320,000. In a years time,
mortgage rates are projected to be back up near 5%. At a 5.0% interest rate, the payment on that lesser mortgage would be
$1717.83. This lesser valued home would
cost $76.05 more per month.
The big challenge in these numbers is
that property values are projected to
continue climbing. The steady
and consistent increase in values we are experiencing is
nothing like rapid rise we
saw right before the crash.
The factors leading the
rise are completely different than last time. Just
like old corvettes, we
cannot go back in time to
buy them for a
price thats no longer
available.
With prices and rates
both expected to rise
over the next year, the
bottom
line
for
prospective buyers is to buy sooner than later.
Even if that house costs slightly more than it would have just a few
months earlier, that same house will likely cost even more just a
few more months down the line.

he benefits of nitrogenfilled tires for vehicle owners include tires that last
50% longer and fail 75% less
often. For the environment, this
means that fewer tires are disposed of. Through the new partnership, NitroFill is planting a tree
for each vehicle with nitrogenfilled tires that Huntington Beach
Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram sells. In
2015, 12,000 trees were planted as
a result of the partnership.
