Redding, CA

Redding Realtors and Real Estate Agents.....SAVE THE DAY--NOVEMBER 17th......We have a great opportunity to attend REBarCamp! It is normally only held in the big markets (SF, LA, Seattle, Boston, NY).

United States Census 2010

The countdown to the 2010 Census has begun, and the U.S. Census Bureau is looking to the community to ensure an accurate count. Census day is on April 1, 2010, therefore it is extremely important that people are aware and ready to participate, ensuring the accuracy of the data. The 2010 Census will have one of the shortest census questionnaires in the history of the United States, dating back to the nation's first census in 1790; it will focus on questions such as name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship and whether the householder owns or rents their home. They are hoping by making the form easier and less tedious, more participants will be willing to take the 10 minutes complete the questionnaire. The Bureau wants to stress that all answers are protected by law and strictly confidential.

Some of the main reasons residents should be aware of the 2010 Census :

• The federal government uses census numbers to allocate more than $300 billion in federal funds annually for community programs and services, such as education, housing and community development, health care services for the elderly, job training and more.

• State, local and tribal governments use census information for planning and allocating funds for new school construction, libraries and other public buildings, highway safety and public transportation systems, new roads and bridges, location of police and fire departments, and many other projects.

• Community organizations use census information to develop social service programs, community action projects, senior lunch programs and child-care centers.

• The numbers help businesses identify where to locate factories, shopping centers, movie theaters, banks and offices - activities that often lead to new jobs.

• The census totals are used to determine how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives (Extremely Important!)

Be a part of this revolutionizing event and help keep the data and information accurate so the United States can better help serve you!

Hello everyone, and thanks again for visiting “Blogging About Redding”. As most of you already know, we are in October which means “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. On Thursday the 15th was a day where many cities and communities came together on behalf of Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day, and Redding, CA wasn’t the exception! Besides the many activities that were happening around town that day, the biggest and most visible was on our very own Sundial Bridge. Check out this video! From www.redding.com: Hundreds of people strolled the Sundial Bridge tonight to see the Redding landmark bathed in a pinkish glow for Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day. “It’s pretty cool. It’s totally different,” Redding resident and Shasta Photo Club member Aaron Patterson said after lugging his camera equipment from the bank of the Sacramento River. Patterson and many others brought their cameras to take pictures of the Sundial Bridge, which was illuminated in pink for breast-cancer awareness. The outline of a pink ribbon gleamed on one side of the bridge. Morpheus Lighting of Redding had placed gel filters over the bridge’s lights to give the span its special hue. The pink lights were due to be turned off at 10 p.m. Earlier today, Nor-Cal Think Pink organizers distributed about 40,000 bags containing breast cancer information and handed out pink carnations throughout the north state to bring attention to their cause, Think Pink coordinator Erika Wiechman said. Photo by Greg Barnette: The Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding is illuminated in pink light Thursday night for the 13th annual Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

It's a bizarre story. One that I hope has a great ending.Apparently a boy climbed onto and into a home made balloon that took off and went for miles.The family which includes an amateur scientist (the father) made this device which looks something out of a UFO movie in the backyard.

Let's hope the little guy is ok and didn't fall out!

When the family isn't chasing storms they are looking for ET....no really....

Superb stunt/PR or real life extra ordinary story? Time will tell....

Regards

Richard
