No local Channels out of Market with DirecTV?

I gave my daughter one of our Directv receiver to take to college. She goes to Michigan State in East Lansing Michigan. We had Green Bay local channels at home. Now at college she gets all the channels except local channels. It just says searching for satellite. Can this be fixed or do we just live with out them?

Help with deciding if moving to Oakland from San Francisco is the right thing for us?

My Wife and I currently live in SF (Mission District). The Mrs. Works in East Bay and drives a lot to and from for work. Myself, I work downtown SF. We currently have a 1 bedroom with an office in the Mission and are thinking about having children. We are considering to move to Oakland (20th and Market) because it is central between our work places and is twice the size of our current one and the same price. It also has gated area and a garage. This place has everything that we want in an apartment but we do not feel 100% about the area yet. Its like a really nice building surrounded by a not as nice area with warehouses and run down homes. We just need help with our thought process in determining what is important. Its not like we have to move immediately or have to move at all for that matter. It would just be nice to:
A .Not park on the street.
B. Not have to carry dirty laundry 2 blocks every week.
C. Have an actual bedroom (not modified office) for an incoming child.
D. Be closer to her work.
E Pay same price as current place or cheaper

Further East of Oakland is not an option. Did that once.
Cannot afford more than 1800/month for rent.

What are the nicest cities to live in around Downey, Ca?

I was born & raised in Southern Ca. & decided to move to Northern Ca. (San Ramon, East Bay area). My Fiance (Colorado native) & I are moving back to So. Cal. due to a huge job opportunity. The office is in Downey & I know for a fact that it is not the place for us.

The ideal for us would be to find a city/neighborhood that is more lush & green, out of the way. Commuting maybe 45 minutes to have that far far away feel would be wonderful.

I’ve never been a fan of living in huge cities…pollution, traffic, crime & the fast pace of things just don’t flow well with us. After living in Northern Califonia I fell in love with the fresh air, lots of trees, laid back people, small local shops, arts festivals, fairs, farmers markets & ability to go camping within about a 3 hour beautiful drive. We also love the coast so that’s an option as well.

Any hidden gems out there??

How do you feel about a felon who served in prison as Obama’s Green Job Czar?

“Just a couple of days ago I wrote about President Obama’s black red “Green Jobs” czar Van Jones who came up through the ranks as a racial radical arrested in the Rodney King riots, embraced communism while in jail, formed a socialist collective which championed the ideas of Marx and Lenin, and has now seized on on the environmentalist movement as a vehicle for his extremist ideas.”

The East Bay Express has a very lengthy article about Jones and his activist past, written in 2005. Here are a few telling excerpts:

But that wasn’t enough to assuage his anger. Convinced that American society needed a wake-up call on race, Jones abandoned his plan to become a journalist, concluding that he would rather make news than report it. “If I’d been in another country, I probably would have joined some underground guerrilla sect,” he said.

…while Jones was observing the first large rally since the lifting of the city’s state of emergency [during the Rodney King riots], he got swept up in mass arrests. It was a turning point in his life.

Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.“

“We have long seen the close connections between the worldwide environmentalist movement and Marxism. They have long shared the same anti-business, anti-free market, anti-freedom agenda and methods of thuggish intimidation. Like many Marxists, Jones has recognized that the environmentalist movement makes a great vehicle to advance Marxism.”

SO lets see, Obama has 30 some Czars that answer to NO ONE but Obama, and now Obama uses his “great judgement” to select this street thug to run the Green Jobs (whatever sham that is). So much for the “transparency” of the Obama Regime.
