Committing Crimes of Ethical behavior

As the main picture of Mark Bennett’s plan of attack becomes clear I must now write about an infant lawyer in the Fresno California area going by the name of Rick Horowitz. I say infant lawyer because of his inexperience as a lawyer and as a human being, this self proclaimed web geek is a loser beyond proportions. This is something that is very obvious to us at ASSHATLAWYER.COM and will soon be with you.

Rick Horowitz is a pot smoking, left wing, want to be biker, and want to be lawyer. Let’s face it here people, Rick Horowitz is a moron and his ideas that he will somehow legalize pot is all a ruse for you left wingers out there. To believe him. He is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing, that is like the other blood sucking leeches that I have categorized as Asshat lawyers. His views are very transparent and his skills as an attorney are wanting at best.

As a left wing lawyer your job would be to stand up for the injustices that happen in your state of California. Instead you latch on to Mark Bennett’s plan of attack to belittle anyone that is accused of a crime or anyone that has been convicted of a crime. You so far as to use the government resources that have been given to you to work. But, Mr. Horowitz you have abused those resources in a personal vendetta haven’t you? Rick Horowitzs has used Government Resources to copy personal records from the Fresno County Government Center and then Mail these documents to Scott Greenfield, Mark Bennett, and Brian Tannebaum. He then Latter admits to this in a show of bravado on twitter. That has definitely earned you an ASSHAT LAWYER award ASSHAT LAWYER RICK HOROWITZ and it goes even further now doesn’t it ASSHATLAWYER?

Has Rick Horowitz Commited a crime?

Rick Horowitz even jumps into the fray with his article How to become an ASSHAT LAWYER
And I find it to be very repetitive and redundant and lost interest in his authoring skills.

Why on earth people is this ASSHAT lawyer still practicing law? Not only has he never tried a case in his 2 full years as a 50+ year old lawyer he is ranking in the top of the search engines on google.com. This further proves that in my article about never hiring a lawyer from the internet without researching the lawyer or going to the courthouse and asking around proves to all of you that I am giving you solid advice. Because if you blindly willy nilly pick a lawyer online because of the high search ranking you may just hire an ASSHAT LAWYER like our weekly winner ASSHAT LAWYER RICK HOROWITZ from Fresno Ca 93650.

We will be following up on Rick Horowitz and the Bar Complaint issued for his part in using government Resources for personal gain……To Be Continued…..

From the Tea Party Express website:

“The Tea Party Express national bus tour will host a series of tea party rallies all across the nation from coast-to-coast and border-to-border. The effort will begin in San Diego, California on October 25th and travel eastward, building momentum as the tour reaches its final destination: a giant rally in Orlando, Florida on November 12th.

The tour comes exactly one-year before the November 2010 elections – and this will serve as a “Countdown to Judgment Day” for our elected officials. Those who are not serving in the nation’s best interest will be put on notice: we’re going to hand you a pink slip!

At each stop the tour will highlight some of the worst offenders in Congress who have voted for higher spending, higher taxes, and government intervention in the lives of American families and businesses.  These Members of Congress have infringed upon the freedom of the individual in this great nation, and its time for us to say: “Enough is Enough!”

The “Tea Party Express” tour will feature leaders in the anti-tax, conservative, tea party movement along with musical performances of “American Tea Party Anthem” and “A Bailout Song” at each tea party event.  The tour delegation includes:”

HELP US MAKE A FOOL OUT OF KEITH OLBERMANN !!! Last night Keith Olbermann launched into a tirade against the Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day.  Olbermann and other liberals are quite unhappy that We The People are rising up to take our country back from the liberal tax-spend-bailout politicians. Olbermann’s central point of mockery of the Tea Party Express was that no one would show up at our rallies, and no one was signing up for our Facebook page.  Watch Olbermann’s rant against the Tea Party Express and then find out how you can fight back and help us make a fool out of Keith Olbermann: WATCH OLBERMANN TRASH THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS – HERE Help us make a fool out of Keith OIbermann and prove him wrong!   Help us turn out huge crowds all across the country.  One way we’re doing that is by ramping up our TV and radio advertising campaign to get the word out to millions of Americans to come join our Tea Party Express rallies.

Amstel Light hails from Amsterdam Holland

Many people have their preference of beverage when they go out, and many choose to not drink as well.  For me personally, I enjoy a good beer.  This week, I have been delighting myself with Amstel Light.

Actually for the past month, I have been drinking Amstel Light every time I go to the dance floor.  Its good, refreshing, and light.  Made in Holland, Amstel can be found at most local grocery markets and at most bars.  I live in the Tower District in Fresno, CA, a district that prides itself for being diverse in all that entails.  When I attend Queer Fresno’s Integration event every Wednesday at The Starline, you may see me on the dancefloor with an Amstel Light.

If you like beer, give it a try.  Let me know how it treats you.  I know for me, it helps me dance a little bit more free.

Drew Barrymore in support of Unite the Fight

Last fall, immediately after the Prop. 8 loss in California, there were rallies across the country, but it seemed like after a day or two of outrage and speeches, the steam went out of the engine.

But now after the California Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the proposition against same-sex marriage, it feels like people are getting organized in a way that will continue until change in the laws in California and across the land will continue.

In the recent past, organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) have really proven impotent in making changes. But now new spokespeople for the fight are emerging: people like Justin Lance Black, who won the Oscar for writing the screenplay for the movie MILK and Dan Choi, the Army First Lieutenant, who was recently kicked out of the Army, are making themselves known, and becoming the new leaders of the fight for gay equality.

This is what has been wanted for so long; since Harvey Milk there have been few with the determination and willingness to lead in this cause.

Today, in California protesters marched the fifteen miles from Selma, California to Fresno, California in support of same-sex equality, and since arriving, according to the Fresno Bee, there has been a rally of several thousand in front of the Fresno City Hall.

The rally, part of the new campaign called Meet in the Middle 4 Equality, has been streaming live for several hours. I’ve been watching and this definitely has the feel of the real beginning of a true, winning campaign.

Robin McGehee, the Lead Organizer of Meet in the Middle 4 Equality, has just given a moving speech finishing with a very emotional challenge to President Obama to follow through with his promises to the gay people who supported him in his campaign for office.

You can also see the rally live (if you read this today) and clips from the march from Selma and the rally itself at the Unite the Fight website.

Sugar Hill is hosting the annual Fresno Tattoo Convention on May 2nd & 3rd at the Fresno Convention Center.

_{Me & Billy Von at a 2008 convention.}

I will be there on Saturday, May 2nd, lollygagging and having tattooist Billy Von Boening (of Mad Dog Tattoo) touch up my arms and chest.

My buddy Petrina, co-owner/body piercer of Nothing Sacred Tattoo and seen hiding her face in the below photo, invited me to Tiger Rose’s Santa Maria show.

_{Petrina & Thom of Nothing Sacred}Tattoo.

I will be there on Sunday, May 3rd, lollygagging some more and having tattooist Thom Godfrey (co-owner of Nothing Sacred Tattoo) tattoo me. I have never been to Santa Maria or met very many of the artists at this show and am looking forward to this!

_{Yours Truly.}

I will have my camera at both shows. If you are attending and see me there, don’t be shy! I look kind of mean when I am not smiling but I am actually pretty friendly.

In late 2008 I moved to a house in urban Fresno,California. Despite its many shortcomings as a city and county, Fresno does have an excellent recycling program. The Tower District also has an active group of guerilla gardeners.

I’ve been “living green” before I even knew what the term meant!My grandfathers were hunters and farmers. They taught my parents not to be wasteful or irresponsible, and my parents passed that down to my sister and I. We had a well and limited hot water on our property and were taught to never waste water or energy. Western Fence Lizards and toads took care of any insect problems we had. There was no trash service, so we separated organic waste and used a trash compactor for the rest before hauling it to town.

Many farmers and other residents in rural Fresno county use owl boxes. Barn owls are excellent hunters and they keep a cap on the rodent population. This also keeps both humans and other animals safe because rodent poison does not discriminate on who it kills.

_{I don’t know the names of these flowers.}

I am fortunate that my house already had an established yard by an accomplished gardener when I moved in. I still don’t know the official names of all of my inherited plants, but I have done my best to keep them alive and have had very few casualties.

My major green project for 2008-2009 has been to turn my yard in to a sanctuary for urban wildlife – birds, squirrels, and helpful insects like bees and butterflies. I don’t use pesticides or herbicides.

_{This pecan tree & bird bath combination is popular with both birds and red tree squirrels.}

I offer the wild birds vitamin-enriched seed. They also receive all of the food discarded by my parrots. Sometimes my yard also attracts new friends who need assistance. Fresh water is readily available and I am careful not to allow water to stagnate and attract mosquitoes. I would like to find out if introducing toads or fence lizards would be appropriate for my setting.

_{If the window is open, my macaws enjoy talking to the wild birds that visit this bird bath.}

I planted a lot of wildflower seeds in March but did not have a lot of success with them.

_{A wildflower I successfully grew.}

The poppies came with the house. I love them. They remind me of Interstate 5 between Bakersfield and Los Angeles, and of Lancaster.

_{California poppies.}

I also have a small compost heap and have introduced earthworms in to my soil.

_{Earthworm eggs.}

I am currently researching koi ponds because I hope to one day install one. However, I am not sure if they are energy efficient or if they would be hazardous to my tortoise Merlin. Most large tortoise species enjoy mud holes but they can’t actually swim. I don’t know very much about koi fish yet, but I’m assuming they don’t want to share their home with a nosey tortoise!

_{Bottlebrush plants are drought-resistant and attract bees & hummingbirds.}

California may be facing a drought. I will be adding drought-resistant plants, time and income permitting. I also plan to plant a small vegetable garden. Merlin, my pet birds, and I eat a lot of fresh vegetables and I believe that it’s important that we have access to them.

Working in the yard is a challenge for me sometimes because I am partially disabled and have severe pollen allergies. But so far, the awards have outweighed my discomfort!

These are photos that I took earlier in the month.

This section may be by an artist named 'Rehab'.

A few of the blogs I read have these lists about one’s self.  So, I decided to copy Lynn’s and make it my own:

1. I was born in Madera, California. My dad was a cotton farmer and my mother was the bookkeeper, houseskeeper and occasional farmworker.

2. I’ve lived in Fresno since 1970.  The air is bad, the economy is poor, and I would gladly move to San Francisco.

3. I have no desire to travel as I don’t like being a tourist.

4. I am a teacher. I have taught at one high school for 20 years.

5. Before I was a teacher I worked in industry–magazine publishing and cottonseed sales.  Both companies are gone.

6. I have been married to the same man for 34 years.  

7. I have one grown daughter, a minister, who lives in San Mateo.

8. Above daughter is pregnant so I should have a granddaughter in May.

9. I love my yearbook class.  Even though the deadlines sometimes rattle me, and the kids don’t always do as I wish, it’s still fun to see the finished product in June.

10. I cannot speak any other language than English.  That is sad.

11. I love to write. 

12. In the late sixties my father died.  I was 16.

13. My brother was 20 years older than me.  He died three years ago of lung cancer because he smoked.

14. I don’t smoke, nor have I ever lit a match.

15. I attended Fresno State College in the early 70s and got my bachelor of science degree in marketing there.  I returned in the late 80s to get  a teacher credential.

16. I love cats, have four of them, and also feed all the strays.

17. I have been involved with the San Joaquin Valley Writing Project.  It’s ok.  They love English teachers and I’m not one.

18. I am politically liberal. 

19. I am a Mac user. 

20. I cannot sew anything.  Well, not completely true.  I can still thread a needle without needing my glasses and put a button back on a piece of clothing.

21. I live in the FigGarden neighborhood of Fresno.  This was once all fig orchards and the ground is hardpan.  I cannot raise flowers.

22. This summer I will be 57 and I want to spend it in San Francisco.

23. Both of my parents have been dead for years.  Daddy for 40 years; mom for 8 years.

24. I want to make time to just sit quietly.

25. I love to talk to people and so this has been fun for me.  Hope you enjoyed reading.

The first and most important step in purchasing a home is securing financing. This is especially true today, in the light of tightening credit standards and risk-based pricing.

Before you begin your search on the internet for your dream home, it would be wiser for you to speak with a qualified lender regarding today’s mortgage market.

I recommend that you chose a lender that not only offers conventional financing but is an FHA approved lender as well. Your lender should also know what local and state home-buying assistance programs are available.

Most states and even some counties and cities offer first-time buyers assistance when purchasing a home. This may be in the form of a tax credit or down payment assistance. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 has approved a temporary tax credit for first-time buyers.

Due to the onslaught of foreclosures many changes have occurred in the mortgage industry. Actually, for the most part lenders are returning to the old fashioned practices of years ago, lending on credit stability and savings ability.

One of the most significant changes in the mortgage industry is risk-based pricing. Your credit score will not only affect your ability to qualify for a loan but will also affect how much a loan will cost.

Today’s, buyer is much more savvy than in years past and that is a good thing. It is not a good thing to assume you know how much you can afford in a home or that all you have to do is have good credit.

Talking with family and friends is helpful but you will need to speak with a loan specialist to understand how the mortgage market has changed and what those changes will mean for you.

Speaking with a good lender will help you determine what price range you can afford, what you will need in available funds, how to secure a home loan, which financing option is the best for your particular financial needs as well as a plan to meet these goals.

It is a very confusing time for John Q. Public. Half the economic forecasts say there will be a recession or inflation, while another segment is predicting that we will see neither but the economy will recover slowly.

Half of the personal financial advisors are advising buyers to take advantage of the current real estate market, while the other half is advising that “a wait and see” approach is the wiser option.

It is true that home values could depreciate even further, but that does not make purchasing a home today an unwise choice.

It is a sure bet that rental costs will increase in the next 30 years. However, with a fixed rate mortgage loan, you will know exactly what your housing budget will be for the next 30 years. Owning a home offers certain tax advantages as well.

As a long term investment, purchasing a home is a wise choice. Almost all financial advisors include owning a home as part of your financial portfolio.  An investment in a home today has the potential to yield a large cash return in 30 years. 

Currently home prices are affordable, interest rates are low, affordable financing is available. If interest rates increase even one percent, you could lose tens of thousands of dollars in purchasing power. If home prices would further depreciate, but interest rates would rise, the cost in interest payments would by far out-weigh the savings in purchase price.

A home is much more than an investment. It is a a place to be, a place to live – your own little corner of the world.

Let me start by saying fixing is like the old adage “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

Some buyers will not consider buying a home that requires minimal work such as paint and carpeting, while others are willing to take everything down to the bare walls and, in essence, start over to make the home reflect their personal style. Some buyers are willing to do work at a later date in order to purchase a home below market value.

If you are willing to except a home that is not in turn-key condition, then please read further because I am going to tell you about a special financing program for homes that need anything from a “touch up” to homes that need revitalizing.

This loan program allows buyers to do repairs; as simple as cosmetic repairs such as carpeting, paint or landscaping to major renovations such as replacing windows, energy systems and even room additions. This loan program does not require any interim loans or require that the repairs be completed before the escrow closes.

FHA has recently formed the Streamline-K Loan program which allows buyers to borrow funds for the purchase of a property and obtain money for repairs all in one easy loan.

The Streamline-K Loan program is not the same as the FHA 203-K program (which is still available). The Streamline-K Loan program has done exactly what its name implies, it has streamlined the very complicated 203-K process, making it a great option for home buyers.

The Streamline-K Loan program offers the same benefits as the standard FHA loan: low interest rates (fixed or adjustable), flexible loan guidelines with regard to credit and low down payments (minimum 3%).

If you are considering a home purchase in the Fresno-Clovis area, this is a wonderful opportunity to expand your home options in a market that is already allowing you the best affordability in years.

Contact an FHA approved lender for pre-approval and for more details regarding the Streamline-K Loan program.

Yes folks, the rumors are true!  Javawava is no longer for sale.  Any questions or comments should be directed to owner Michael Canton in the cafe. 

Have You Been Waiting For The Bottom of The Market? Your wait may soon be over.

Data Quick Information Systems (which monitors real estate activity nationwide) reports sales are up not only in California but throughout the country. The figures that are being published indicate that the bottom of the market seems to have been reached in many of the nation’s areas.

California, including the Central Valley, is still seeing a decline in homes prices but the rate of decrease per month does seem to be leveling off. Sellers know that they are facing stiff competition in pricing, due to the high rate of foreclosures on the market and the number of buyers in the market place. Sellers know that buyers are going to do what buyers have always done, shop the market for the best value. Existing homes sales are in the sellers favor at this time. Established landscaping and interior décor can save buyers thousand of dollars making pre-existing homes more desirable than new homes. Resale homes sales increased by 40% in April.

A few weeks ago the Fresno Bee reported that sales were up 2% in April from last year. That trend continued through May. Even the hard hit counties of Riverside and San Bernardino have seen sales volume rise.

Buyers are finding that home prices are becoming more attractive as prices roll back to near the same values as four years ago. Selection of homes styles is also a positive for buyers, The excess in current inventory is giving buyers more choices in finding a home which matches their lifestyle.

Another factor in increased sales is the relocation buyer. Home values are so much more attractive here, than in the Bay Area or the Greater Los Angeles area, many people are opting to relocate to the Central Valley.

According to Data Quick, the areas seeing the best increase in sales are the regions where home prices have declined the most. The California Association of Realtors reports that home affordability in Fresno County has risen for 44% in 2007 to a current rate of 56%.

Interest rates are still historically low. In May they began to inch upward but in the last few weeks this trend has reversed. Interest rates are expected to increase by the end of the year. The economy will be playing an important roll in the Federal Reserves position in regards to future rates.

The worst of the mortgage crisis has been worked through and the bottom of that unfortunate debacle has been reached according to many experts. There will still be foreclosures in the high numbers but the flood is beginning to recede, although the flood waters will recede slowing. It will be at least another year before Riverside and San Bernardino Counties will see any recovery in their market.

When a real estate market goes through a downturn, the way back up is always a little shaky. Solid footing may still be a ways off in the future, there is still a high inventory rate and we need to see a decline in the number of foreclosures entering the market each month.  According to historic indicators it does appear that recovery for the real estate market is on the horizon.  The economy, rising fuel prices and the forth-coming elections will all have their influence on what will happen next.

Personally, I believe this is an excellent time to buy, prices are down, inventory for buyers is at its best and interest rates are reasonable. Motivated buyers working with motivated sellers make it a win-win situation for everyone

Relocating? Come Home to Fresno.

Fresno is located in the center of Central California in the lush surroundings of the San Joaquin Valley and is rich with agricultural traditions. Fresno is the midpoint between San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles. Fresno is the educational, commercial and financial center for Central California.

640,000 call Fresno home, many are “home-grown” and, like myself, couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Like any other city, we have residents from all over the nation and the world, but the largest group of people choosing to work and live in Fresno are from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles Basin. With so many people choosing Fresno to be their home, our economical diversification is steadily growing.

There are many reasons why someone chooses a particular community to call home. The top reasons: quality of life, climate, educational opportunities, location, economic growth and stability, and the ever-increasing concern, affordability.

Lifestyle:

Fresno is a city which offers all the advantages of a small town community and wide open spaces, making it a great place to work, live and raise a family.

The Fresno area is alive with cultural and recreational opportunities. Surrounded by lakes and mountains, Fresno offers outdoor activities in all four seasons. Residents enjoy fishing, mountain climbing and hiking, horseback riding, and water sports are some of the activities offered in the nearby lakes and mountains. The winter months bring skiing, snowboarding and ice skating to the list of things to do.

The Fresno area also offers residents and visitors the sights and wonders of three world renowned national parks: Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite.

Cultural offerings are just as plentiful. Concerts can be enjoyed at the Save Mart Center. Fresno also has its very own Philharmonic Orchestra, Grand Opera and professional ballet company. Fresno is home to the Chaffee Zoo, the Downing Planetarium and the Aquarius Aquarium.

The new hip word this summer is staycation, for those planning vacations close to home due to high gas prices. There is no better location for a staycation than Fresno!

Climate:

The climate in Fresno is ideal with blue skies and great air-quality. There are over 200 days of sunshine. Rain falls mostly in the winter months with an annual average rainfall of 10 inches. Summers are hot but the evenings cool down to a very enjoyable and pleasant temperature. The hottest month is August with an average day temperature of 92 degrees.

Education:

Fresno offers its residents a quality school system and top-ranked educational institutions. Some of the schools of higher education are:  Fresno City College,   Fresno State, Fresno Pacific University, Heald College, San Joaquin Valley College and the San Joaquin College of Law.

Commuting:

The average commute in and around town is 20 minutes. Traffic is almost unheard of.  Now you see why so many from the S.F. Bay Area and the L.A. Basin want to relocate to Fresno.

Our location not only gives us access to beautiful national parks, but to all of northern and southern California. When living in Fresno, you are able to enjoy every scenic and recreational offering the beautiful state of California has to offer.

Economy:

Fresno enjoys a strong business economy which is becoming increasingly diversified. Large businesses are able to draw from a strong skilled labor pool. Small business thrives in the Fresno area; 86% of the businesses are small companies. Fresno is the #1 agricultural economy in California as well as the nation, providing a large variety of jobs to the community.

Affordability:

A great advantage of living in the City of Fresno is the affordability. Cost of living and housing is one of the lowest in the state, all without sacrificing a quality life style.

In recent years, many retirees have sold their high-cost homes in the Bay Area and the L.A. Basin to buy a home offering small town living, low crime and no mortgage payment.

Fresno, located at the foot of the gorgeous Sierra Nevada Mountains, is California’s best kept secret.  Fresno offers the absolute best in California living.

Recently, I was interviewed by Fresno’s news station KMPH (Fox 26) in regards to a piece they were doing on the slow housing market and first time buyers. I would like to emphasis that investing in real estate during a slow market is a smart move for everyone.

Remember the old saying: “buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying”.

I believe in the validity of that statement and I believe in the value of homeownership. Historically, when a community has a majority of homeowners, it has a stronger community base and better schools. That is a wise investment in our children’s future.

Good market or slow market, none last forever. Already, we are beginning to hear the first positive reports that the real estate market is changing. Here, in the Central Valley, prices continued to decline but sales volume is definitely up.

Most of the nation is now experiencing a stable market and many areas are seeing a steady increase in values.

Two years ago, 53 real estate markets were considered over valued. Now there are only 8. This means that the majority of real estate is now priced exactly where it should be.

I believe we will be seeing the pendulum swing in the other direction fairly soon. Real Estate will again increase in value and this is why I believe now is the time to invest in your future.

To learn more about the advantages of purchasing property in the Central Valley, contact me. I work with a select team who, like myself, delivers only the best in service. To determine your buying power, you may contact me and I will put you in touch with a lender that will assist you in achieving the “American Dream”: Homeownership.
