I have managed to keep alive my 100% unblemished sterling record of wanting to pay my taxes on Feb 1, but not actually doing so until April 15.
So here I am, again, with a bowl of chocolate pudding in my financial underpants.
OK, so I am going to pay my F#$%*(&%$ing taxes today, and probably plotz out a empty-husk of a post when I'm done. It might be Wed before I get there.
Otherwise dear friends, please feel free to ridicule me and revile my lack of planning. Again.
Sincerely,
I Hate To Baste Your Butterball.
Is my W-2 down there?

Oregon unemployment rises to No. 2 in the nation
by Richard Read, The Oregonian
Friday April 17, 2009, 7:47 AM
Oregon leapfrogged South Carolina in March to register the nation's second-highest unemployment rate, at 12.1 percent, trailing only Michigan.
Oregon's jump of 1.4 percentage points in March was the nation's largest increase that month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Oregon's rate far exceeds the nation's 8.5 percent seasonally adjusted rate, and tops neighboring California's 11.2 percent rate and Washington's 9.2 percent.
Oregon's rate is climbing due to both layoffs and unusually large numbers of people such as retirees and nonworking spouses who are entering the labor force, trying to get jobs.
Regional and state unemployment rates were nearly all higher in March. Forty-six states recorded over-the-month unemployment rate increases. Over the year, jobless rates were up in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Michigan again reported the nation's highest jobless rate, at 12.6 percent. The states with the next highest rates were Oregon, 12.1 percent; South Carolina, 11.4 percent; California, 11.2 percent; North Carolina, 10.8 percent; Rhode Island, 10.5 percent; Nevada, 10.4 percent; and Indiana, 10.0 percent.
Nine additional states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rates of at least 9.0 percent. The California and North Carolina rates were the highest on record for those states.
Oregon's 12.1 percent unemployment rate ties the record set in November 1982, the highest level since the state began keeping records in 1947.
In March, 256,404 Oregonians were unemployed, the Oregon Employment Department reported Monday, more than double the number in March 2008.
In February, Oregon was No. 3 in the nation for unemployment, at an initially reported 10.8 percent, behind Michigan, with 12 percent, and South Carolina, with 11 percent.
Oregon's seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment declined by 22,800 jobs in February and 14,000 jobs in March.
Quiet day in the land of BEND-KUNTS, must all be saving money, and awaiting the big 'Tiny Tina' shoooo next week at Starz.
Anyone track down Central Oregon or Bend numbers from that joblessness report, or does that report cover only state numbers?
The best news in weeks about Bend, OSU is pulling out of COCC, that means that soon there will only be a post high-school rebab center on the hill. Leave it to OPB to share the good news about Bend education.
The future of Bend is REHO fucked.
Budget Hole Could Close Oregon State Campus in Bend
BY ETHAN LINDSEY
Bend, OR April 17, 2009 1:28 a.m.
The state’s projected budget hole now stands at close to $4.5 billion.
That’s almost 25-percent short of what it will cost to run the state for the next two years, according to the Legislature.
Because of its size, the state’s education system will bear the brunt of the cuts.
One cost-saving idea is to close one of the state’s college campuses – and to many people in Bend, that’s a scary thought.
Central Oregon correspondent Ethan Lindsey reports.
It’s most recent university campus in the state, having opened in 2001.

It’s also the most atypical – it can only offer upper-division classes, and the student body is made up of students from both Oregon State and the University of Oregon.
OSU Cascades is prized in the community not only for its intellectual offerings – but also for the region’s future economic growth.
Jack Chapman is a senior liberal studies major and the vice president of the student body.
Jack Chapman: “I came out here, just thinking I wanted to go to college. And OSU Cascades changed me as a person and as a student. And I don’t think I would have got that at any other campus.”
But with a gaping budget hole, state budget cutters say all options are on the table.
State Senator Margaret Carter is a Democrat from Portland – she chairs the Ways and Means Committee.
Margaret Carter: “We are going to have to restructure government. I know there are some people that don’t want me to say that. But I just don’t see it any other way. And out of crises come the best restructuring one can have.”
Carter says, for instance, Oregonians must ask themselves whether they can afford to pay for 8 college campuses.
Now remember, the OSU Cascades campus is the odd duck, or odd beaver.
And that puts the school on the firing line.
In Salem, several legislative committees have discussed the cost of the Bend campus.
The worst-case scenario for the school would be a complete shutdown. But even the second-worst scenario, a budget cut of 30-percent, would be devastating.
School and local officials have begun an all-out effort to save the school.
There've been press releases, meetings, and campus-wide emails.
Next week, students will caravan to Salem to try to convince lawmakers that the school is worth keeping.
Oregon University System chancellor George Pernsteiner says he doesn’t support closing the campus.
And at a meeting of the local City Club of civic leaders, OSU President Ed Ray and Cascades campus interim dean Becky Johnson both said the school will fight to save the Cascades campus.
They acknowledge they still need help from the community, financially and otherwise.
And that can be tough in this economy.
At the same civic forum, Central Oregon Community College president Jim Middleton says his school has enjoyed mixed support from the community.
Jim Middleton: “Actually the level of support for Central Oregon Community College has been quite good. Unfortunately, this last fall, our bond was defeated by a very narrow margin. But that also was a bond in November, just as the economy started to turn and people were looking at some scary challenges.”
Faculty and students at OSU Cascades say they're still building those connections with the community.
But they are confident the community will fight for the school.
Campus leaders say their big goal right now is to get good turnout when legislators visit Bend later this month.
The Ways and Means committee meets at OSU Cascades on April 29th, and school leaders say a big crowd of community supporters would be the clearest signal they could send.

Feel free to pick on me, but leave T out of it.
In the second funniest thing I've read in a while, we have:
Sawyers say they’ll pay ‘every dime’ backBut some investors remain skeptical following meetingThe Bend couple whose companies are the subject of an FBI investigation met with some of the investors of their company, Starboard LLC, Friday saying they wanted to hammer out a repayment deal.
Tami and Kevin Sawyer have seven civil cases against them in Deschutes County Circuit Court, four of them by investors of Starboard, which according to court records sought investors to develop properties locally and in Indiana and Mexico.
Two weeks ago, a former employee testified that Tami Sawyer routinely ordered her to use investors’ funds to pay unrelated bills and provide payments to other investors.
Kevin Sawyer is a former Bend police captain, who retired after being placed on paid leave during the ongoing FBI investigation.
While media were barred from the meeting Friday, the couple spoke afterward in a news conference.
“Today’s meeting was primarily to bring together our lenders to discuss some sort of a workout plan,” Tami Sawyer said after the meeting. “There’s been a lot of confusion lately, there’s been a tangled mess, and we’ve been racing to put out a lot of fires.”
The agreement, Tami Sawyer said, would center around a three-year payment plan for all investors, wherein “every dime” would be paid back.
“We don’t know the exact details,” Tami Sawyer said of the plan. “Our first endeavor was to try to make sure our lenders would be amenable to that, and then we can set about putting forth a plan.”
She also said she felt the meeting had been positive, and that investors had many questions.
“Our major intent … is to do what we said we’d do, which is to give back every dime,” Tami Sawyer said. “We’re going to stand with our integrity, and we’re going to do the right thing.”
But at least one person present at the meeting wasn’t certain it went so well.
Martin Hansen, a lawyer representing Starboard investors David and Laurie Redwine, who received a judgment against the company, said the meeting was run by Marc Blackman, a criminal defense attorney from Portland who is working for the Sawyers, and Hansen said he was frustrated Blackman didn’t know more about creditor and debtor law.
“That meeting was to put a happy face on the fact that these people owe a lot of money,” Hansen said.
No set plan was detailed, and no information was handed out, Hansen said, but the Sawyers did discuss having three years to liquidate all of their properties, including those not related to Starboard, and put those funds toward repaying their investors.
But Hansen believes the best way to deal with the debts is to transfer all their assets to a neutral trustee and allow that person to make the decisions on behalf of the Sawyers and those owed money.
“If they did disgorge all their assets, everywhere, and then a neutral party would be selling them for the benefit of creditors, that could work,” Hansen said. “That’s basically bankruptcy without the time or expense of bankruptcy. I’m not confident they’re willing to go that far.”
While the meeting was awkward, he said, it remained civil. And Hansen noted that at the end of the meeting, he met with agents from the FBI and IRS who were waiting outside.
In an e-mail, David Redwine said the room was filled with investors and a few attorneys, with some out-of-state investors on speakerphone.
“There were some unanswered questions for everyone there,” he wrote in an e-mail. “We currently don’t have enough detail to pass judgment on their 3 year plan. We are naturally a little skeptical at this point.”
He also said the Sawyers’ attorney wanted to know by next week whether investors are on board with their plan.
Some of the investors attending the meeting have already filed lawsuits against the company and against the Sawyers.
“They’ll have to be on board with this plan,” Tami Sawyer said. “Or what they have right now is a judgment against Starboard. That’s what they’ll be left with.”
She said she intends to settle all of the lawsuits currently open against the Sawyers and their companies.
“It doesn’t do us any good to fight them or dispute them,” Tami Sawyer said, adding that the money the couple was paying to deal with the lawsuits was money that could be paying back investors.
The Sawyers are now employing a public relations strategist, Lori Gleichman, who said she was being paid by the couple to deal with the media and help run the meeting.
Tami Sawyer also said they plan to keep all their houses currently in default, and she said they’d allowed their mortgages to fall three to four months behind deliberately, in an effort to renegotiate loans with banks. She said the banks had all “expressed a willingness to work with us” but also noted the mortgage defaults had hurt their “perfect credit record.”
Currently the couple has 16 properties in default, and at least one bank, Community First Bank, has filed a lawsuit of its own against the Sawyers.
I agree with BP, I have been to the bikeshop, trudi is a nice enough woman, albeit tough as nails.
She's a tall blond, probably near middle age, me guess late 40's.
Nice if you like them tall.
She's tough, first time in the store I hadn't put my foot on the floor and I got a "CAN I HELP YOU". WOW.
No wonder BP is what he is, but I agree, that we shouldn't pick on trudi.
That said BP, it was YOU who brought micro-detail of you & trudi to us since the fall of the year before, it was you that has told us MORE about trudi than we really need to know.
It was you BP who told how trudi brings you hot milk and cookies and bed and puts you to sleep.
In summary, when you start a new life in SLC, and start solving all the polygamy problems in JEWTAH I highly suggest you KEEP trudi out of your posts, with your desire to use your real name and hers, it would certainly at some point hurt her to read the vile things said above about her, and certainly you get an erection by all the attention you get, but given that trudi wears the pants in your family, I'm rather certain if she read the shit above, she would NOT be amused.
What I'm saying BP, is you brought this shit to yourself by using your real persona, and bring trudis real persona to the table.
USE your fucking brain BP.
It was the year of our lord, 2009, if I remember correctly. The tale of two young lovers that set out for Jewtah on a trip that would make that of the Donner Party look like a picnic.
They were in love, them two was. Reminded me of a couple of wild eyed school marms, partaking of each others harvest for the first time.
Twas tales of Jewtah that filled young BP's head. Tales he'd heard as a boy, while sitting at the knee of Grandpappy Pussy.
The stories of money so plentiful that it was there on the ground, ripe for the pickin. All a man had to do was bend over and he'd become rich.
Tales of young virgin mormon lasses, beautiful in their flowing white garments. Spreading their legs to Jesus and letting a weary traveler partake in their luscious glory.
Accounts of tiny little midget women that would come out of the mountains and teabag a stranger as he shoved the cloven hooves of the bountiful bovine beasts into his tall-boots.
Ah yes, it was these tales that drew BP and Trudi to that promised land of milk and honey. They knew that they must make the long and treacherous journey.
There was nary a dry eye as the two of them said goodbye to their kin folk and neighbors in Oregon. With nothin more that a bicycle strapped to Trudi's shoulders, an exercise tape in one hand, and their trusty dog in the other, they lit out.
It was a cold and bitter May morn, that spring of ought nine. And what lay ahead could not have been imagined.....
Small job gets big responseBy AnneMarie Knepper
SCIO — Roaring River Fish Hatchery needs a new storage shed, and a lot of contractors want to build it.
In what looks like an example of the scarcity of construction work available, 56 contractors showed up at a pre-bid meeting for the small-scale project at the hatchery run by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Of those, 16 submitted bids, and Pacific Land Construction of Lebanon won the contract for $5,399.
Funding for the project is coming from Go Oregon, a state economic stimulus program.
An existing shed will be torn down and replaced.
Fish hatchery manager Tim Schamber said a project like this, one costing less than $10,000, would typically garner a handful of bids. “It’s a sign of the times, I guess,” he said.ODFW project manager Doug Bochsler agreed.
Normally, a small project of this nature would get interest from about a dozen contractors with about half submitting a bid, Bochsler said.
“But these are not exactly normal times,” he said.
Located about 18 miles east of Albany, Roaring River Fish Hatchery has been operating since 1924.
The 41-acre hatchery consists of more than 20 gravity-fed holding ponds. It provides summer and winter steelhead, rainbow trout and trout eggs.
About 15,000 people visit the hatchery each year.
The shed project is scheduled to begin next week.
and certainly you get an erection by all the attention you get, but given that trudi wears the pants in your family, I'm rather certain if she read the shit above, she would NOT be amused.*
That was funny!!
I think that BP really does get all hard when he is the center of attention.
I think T gets the shaft, being with the idiot BP, who has to spill the reality personal beans like some dolt for all to rape and pilage.
Start over with a fresh start in Pussy-ville AltaLake City by calling yourself the "exBend's Pussy Man Kept Royalty King ButtPlug Scientist".
And all your adoring fans from Bend can read your online posts by the infamous EBPMKRKBPS.
It's amazing how big of assholes people can be when they are anonymous. First time I've seen it up close in 15 years on the net.
And one of the reasons we are leaving. Why bother. Tomorrow UE will be 17% or so and you can have it all to yourselves. That and being short 40 cops and the ability to patch potholes.
Great little city you've built, 300 days of sunshine and all.
