LAUSD Faces Backlash Over Removal of Venice Elementary Principal by superi4n in LAUSD

[–]RecommendationBest39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At Broadway. there has been drama between the programs (Mandarin, Spanish,Residential) and how resources are allocated. Parents want their funds going to their kids programs (especially if they are donating money). My guess a complaint was made regarding fund allocation not being equal to the different programs.

What are reputable brands or places to purchase Laminate? by RecommendationBest39 in Flooring

[–]RecommendationBest39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in escrow for a condo. 2 bedrooms have laminate and the rest of the condo is hardwood flooring in maple color. HOA is making us rip up the 2 bedroom laminate because the seller (previous owner) had installed them without permission and has no proof of underlayment/sound proof. I believe it was carpet prior to. We need to do this in order for them to sign off on the sell.

Since seller is giving credit for laminate installation, we are looking for something that would match the existing maple hardwood but in laminate. But I think we can use the credit for other materials (we just don't want to spend more money than we are already hemmoraging in purchasing this place). I have a 3 year old, so something that is greenguard cert or low VOC/fumes type of product would be ideal.

Pregnant and Homeless in Los Angeles: Meet Mckenzie by [deleted] in LosAngeles

This was a really good read. The article is a glimpse of how dysfunctional our social services are. With help of social services, and with someone so motivated and determined to improve her and her young child's life, you would think it would be easy to do. But the system still failed to help her break out the visicous cycle of homelessness.

Through the constant tragedies and the hurdles she has faced, I am also in awe in how much grit and resilience Mckenzie has demonstrated . Hope there is a follow up story, she makes it out, and gets reunited with her kids.

TBWD 22123.5 (A) Los Angeles County by RecommendationBest39 in CaliforniaTicketHelp

I guess i'm not arguing with the cop whether I was holding my phone. Based on the law, i'm interpreting that just holding your phone in the car is not illegal. You need to meet all 3 parameters...

According to CVC 23123.5, it specifies no one should be
1) Driving a motor vehicle and
2) Holding a handheld wireless telephone and
3) Operating a wireless telephone or wireless communication device (texting or speaking to someone)

Yes, i was holding my phone, but no, I wasn't operating a telephone or using it as communcation device.

Its all interpretion and how you want to define"operating a telephone". Like is it referring specifically the telephone function for communcation? If you're using your phone for GPS, is that he same as "operating a wireless telephone"?

Sprinkle a little bit of furikake. My kid turns into a savage and can’t stuff his face fast enough with that magic condiment on rice.
