I feel that business owners, like homeowners, have the right to say who can and who cannot do ANYTHING upon their properties such as when I lived in South Beach, certain establishments would not allow me to enter inside unless I was properly attired (shoes on, no swim suit). I may not have liked it, but I had to comply with it or else I could have chosen to take my business elsewhere.
If someone who was a concealed carry gun owner asked me whether or not they could bring their gun into my home, I would say, "No you can't, but if you want to bring a less than lethal weapon inside, be my guest."

Stampin' Up, a Utah scrapbook company donated 85 cruise cabins to members of the Utah National Guard. I don't scrapbook, but if I did, I would definitely buy products from them as a thank you. The CEO of a Utah company surprised some lucky Utah National Guard members with a special "tour of duty": a seven day cruise to Bermuda. The Utah-based scrapbook company Stampin' Up donated 85 cruise cabins to the guard to thank the soldiers for their service. The unsuspecting winners received the good news today. One guardsman felt overwhelmed by the unexpected gift. "This has been kind of a dream come true. We've been married 22 years and I've been trying to get my wife on a cruise, just a three- or five-day cruise," Lt. Col. David Osborne said. Many of the guard members selected for the cruise have served multiple tours of duty overseas.
Would you like to see San Diego State play in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl this year?Keep dreaming.First of all, the Aztecs (4-5) would have to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible.Where do you find two wins with games at Air Force (Nov. 17) and at home vs. Texas Christian University (Nov. 24) and Brigham Young (Dec. 1)?Even if the Aztecs finish 6-6, the Poinsettia Bowl would have to choose a Mountain West Conference team with seven wins over SDSU.The best that can be said for the Aztecs at this point is they’re on a two-game winning streak and have surpassed last year’s victory total of three.“We’re excited to play,” SDSU coach Chuck Long said. “We have an upbeat practice tempo going. Guys are really starting to gel and really enjoy being around each other. We've had a great time with this team all year.”But after nine years of the Mountain West Conference, they are still the conference’s only team never to appear in a bowl g

The newspapers are all carrying articles about the hunting seasons, which are expected to be good this year. But fishermen are also finding big game - this is the best time of year to go after trophy fish. Flaming Gorge lake trout are congregating near spawning areas. That makes them easier to find but the big ones are still hard to catch. The next couple weeks will bring your best chance.

Pick up a copy of the Tribune today and the whole front page talks about the .5% rate cut the fed just announced and how Utah’s job growth represents 5% of the entire country’s job growth. What does this mean for our local real estate market? Not much, actually. People with adjustable-rate mortgages will have [...]
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I first read this headline here in the net. Arrested for not watering her own personal lawn?!!! I would think that the arresting police officer would be feeling rather silly. The last time I checked we were living in the "Land of the Free." What does this statement MEAN? I am not entirely certain. Does it mean that we must water our private property lawns or be subject to arrest by a state employee? I am sorry, but this is confusing to me as a person and to me as an American citizen, who is supposedly "free." I am glad to know that Gloria Allred will be assisting this hapless woman, for she will NEED a sensible lawyer amidst this nonsensical mess of a case!!!

Utah has been atop the country’s lists of states with major job growth for the last couple years and the unemployment rate in Utah has been at record lows. Now local employers are saying that things are only going to get better (or, would that be worse?)
The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, released on Tuesday, shows that [...]
A total of four muffin-headed dumbasses showed up in Salt Lake City, Utah to kick off Fred “Hollywood” Thompson’s Presidential campaign: Brenda Caine, Byran Best, Grant Lynn and Jennifer Stephens. All of this information is true.

HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) - After 10 days of setbacks, nerve-jangling “bumps” and a second mine collapse that killed three workers trying to rescue their comrades, authorities Friday conceded defeat to a mountain that appeared to be slowly crumbling.
“Is there any possible way we can continue this underground operation and provide safety for the rescue workers? [...]
The housing market for homes priced between $400,000-$800,000 in northern Utah is showing signs of softening due to high inventory levels. We are not going through a correction or a decline, simply a slowing. The Salt Lake Tribune today reports that homes priced over $500,000 are being hit the hardest, which I can confirm. I [...]

Finally the hole that was being drilled to the shaft broke through for the miners in Utah, a microphone was placed down the hole and no sounds are heard. The microphone also makes noise so the trapped miners know that help is on the way but again no sounds are heard from the trapped miners. (more…)

Of course our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to these trapped miners and their families...From the AP:HUNTINGTON, Utah - Dangerous conditions that forced rescuers to halt attempts to reach six trapped miners will prevent crews from reaching the men for at least a week, a mining executive said.Seismic activity "wiped out" all progress rescuers had made in clearing rubble that has trapped the miners since Monday, said Bob Murray, chairman of Murray Energy Corp., owner of the Crandall Canyon mine. "We are back to square one underground," he said late Tuesday, adding that the rescue operation would resume no earlier than Wednesday afternoon. Of course, there is already finger pointing going on, why can't we focus on the rescue effort?A spokesman for University of Utah seismologists said Wednesday that all evidence indicates it was the mine collapse, not an earthquake, that registered on a seismograph early Monday, and that scientists suspect further shaking at the site is caused by s
Ever since the Vatican released it’s list of ten commandments for driving, there has been discussion around the issue. KSL.com also has a discussion going about Utah drivers and their opinions about it. I’m going to take this opportunity to publish my own list of ten commandments for driving, specifically directed toward Utah drivers.

It’s no secret within the real estate industry that Zillow, and it’s Zestimates are not accurate, and really- they aren’t even supposed to be. Accuracy doesn’t even fit into Zillow’s core objectives. Their business model is not about being accurate at all- its about selling ads. But Zillow does create a real problem for many people who believe the ridiculous Zillow price estimates.
Zillow’s business model is simple;
1- Assign a price estimate for every home
2- Generate interest by showing how “fun” it is to see what it says other people’s homes are worth and satelite images of celebrity houses
3- Sell advertising on the website
Nowhere in that business model is accuracy. They want to be accurate enough that people will go to the site, but that’s about it. The state of Arizona’s lawsuit against Zillow only feeds them more exposure. And I’m a supporter of Zillow’s. I have been from the beginning and I a
