I really hope the powers that be pay attention. The screen flashes in and out several times. TheRead More fact that other story links are right in the middle of a story is ridiculous. This isn't a matter of not liking change. The website is painful instead of fun to read. I will probably unsubscribe.

I agree here....the new layout for Livermore Patch is HORRIBLE!!!!FOR MANY REASONS!!!! HERE'S MYRead More DEAL....EITHER CHANGE IT BACK TO THE LAYOUT IT HAD OR I WILL LEAVE...

Short and sweet , it sucks big time!!!!! I rarely go on the patch anymore, it's got way to muchRead More going on, whoever thought up this format thought wrong, bring back the old patch. All the negative comments here need to taken into consideration!!

i love the passion people show in Livermore! Thanks for posting. Luckily, it was not burnt out.Read More http://livermore.patch.com/groups/breaking-news/p/worlds-longest-burning-light-bulb-out-but-only-overnight
John Marchand May 21, 2013 at 06:31 pm
The light bulb is back on. Ironically, it was a device that was installed to protect the bulb fromRead More power surges that failed. When the bulb was reconnected to unfiltered power, it came back on.

About the only electric vehicle I would consider buying is one that did not require charging off ofRead More any other sources other than its own--meaning that it charges its own batteries, either thorough motion while it's on the road or through something like solar cells charging up the batteries and keeping them charged, even when the car is parked and it's sitting in a parking lot on a sunny day--until that happens, no electric vehicle is going to be practical outside of anything other than short trips or the commute. And as for how you got your vehicle, are there any other "carrots" out there that can be dangled in front of you so you can follow them, even into the oblivion known as electric vehicles that require charging from a source that is not part of your vehicle--because that sounds stupid and foolish to me. It sounds more like it is somebody's Pavlovian experiment to change our behavior if we buy the electric cars being marketed out there instead of waiting for the next generation of technology out there, the kind that won't require charging up the batteries or keeping them charged with plugging into an external electricity source. Before I would consider purchasing an electric vehicle, it should be self-charging so that a trans-continental driving trip could be sustained and made without worrying about running the batteries down and taking extra time to charge them up.

as well take advantage of it. What I'm talking about is a reasonable rate for charging that isRead More within going rates, not the usurious rates charged by certain companies. I always love the hundred yard heroes who hide behind a false screen name
Sean McMenamin May 21, 2013 at 10:56 am
I'm not a greenie.....the only reason we leased one is, because of the tax loophole on the taxes weRead More already pay, we have an essentially free car for a couple of years. Maybe you're just upset because you weren't smart enough to figure that out and take advantage of it. Just like everyone with their solar panels; if we're all forced to pay for it, you may

Seriously? AFGAHN food? Why can't we just get a Red Lobster or something?
Scanner guy May 18, 2013 at 02:05 pm
its going to be an afghan restaurant

Rafael and his crew do great work, and not just lawn service. He replaced our sprinkler system andRead More sodded two new lawns when we moved into our house. He and his crew have trimmed trees, planted flowers, and even built a new fence and gate. All at a fair price. I can't recommend his services enough.
