A DUI or Driving under the Influence charge is much more serious of an event than most people think. Especially in Los Angeles and the Southern California area, where driving is a large part of one’s daily life. The common thought amongst most people is that a DUI is not a serious crime and is more of a traffic violation. The reality is that it is as serious as any other crime and the penalties associated with it might even come with a heavier burden and price tag.

A DUI is something that can happen to any person and in most cases is a crime that is charged to those members of the community that are least likely to be involved in any criminal matter. Hence, a DUI can happen to anyone. Therefore, DUI’s are crimes that occur with greater frequency than other crimes in our society. For this reason, law enforcement and government policy have been more stringent on the penalties it imposes on the offenders.

So how does a DUI affect a Southern Californian? The mere nature of the infrastructure in the Greater Los Angeles area and Southern California requires one to use a personal vehicle for transportation more than other metropolitan areas. As well, due to the size of the city, Southern Californians are prone to commute longer distances than most other cities, putting them more situations where they have to make a judgment of whether they are able to drive after consuming alcoholic beverages. As well as placing many Los Angeles drivers in a higher risk of encountering a drunk driver. Therefore, stopping drunk drivers is an objective of high priority for local law enforcement agencies.

If a driver is convicted of a DUI in Los Angeles, the penalties will have great and lasting effects on them. For one, the DUI offender will face criminal charges. A conviction in a criminal court can impose a sentence involving jail time, alcohol programs, drug programs, community service, Cal Trans work, etc. The court will make a decision based on the circumstances of the case. A conviction by the criminal court will appear on the defendant’s criminal record.

A DUI will also affect one’s driver license privileges. A separate hearing by the DMV (California Department of Motor Vehicles) will determine whether restrictions on one’s driver license should be placed. After reviewing the evidence on the matter and testimony by the arresting officer, the DMV can either leave the license in tact without restrictions, suspend for a certain amount of time, revoke the license, or make the license restrictive for driving to and from work. Losing a driving license in Los Angeles is a greater burden than any other place, as it may affect how you get to work and public transportation isn’t always a possibility in LA. Any infraction on ones license can have a severe impact on their way in life in Los Angeles.

A DUI will also have some serious financial burdens to the one arrested. Between court fines, and programs required and attorney’s fees, a DUI will cost several thousands of dollars. This is not including any cost associated with higher insurance premiums.

A DUI can affect other factors as employment. A DUI shows on your criminal record which is in many circumstances is requested by potential employers. Many employers view a DUI as a testament to one’s responsibility and reliability. Therefore, a DUI can also cost someone a potential employment opportunity.

With all the possible burdening effects a DUI can have on a individual, it is in one’s best interest to at the least consult a experienced DUI Lawyer. A knowledgeable Los Angeles DUI Lawyer can either dismiss your case if the circumstances are there or minimize the potential charges and infractions on your license, saving you more money in the long run.

Pink was born Alecia Moore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Judith Moore, a nurse, and James Moore, Jr., a Vietnam veteran. Her father is Catholic and her mother Jewish, and her ancestors emigrated from Ireland, Germany, and Lithuania. Pink grew up in Doylestown, where she attended Kutz Elementary School, Lenape Middle School, and Central Bucks West High School. Her father played guitar and sang songs for her, and from an early age she aspired to be a rock star. Pink has a brother, Jason Moore (born 1977).

Pink developed her voice early in life. Although a healthy baby at birth, she quickly developed asthma that plagued her through her early years. When she was a teenager, Pink wrote lyrics as an outlet for her feelings, and her mother commented, “Her initial writings were always very introspective. Some of it was very black, and very deep, almost worrisome.” She began performing in Philadelphia clubs when she was 14 years old. At 16, she joined the R&B Atlanta-based trio Choice, which included Chrissy Conway of the Christian girl group ZOEgirl.

The group signed with LaFace Records and contributed “Key to My Heart” to the soundtrack of the 1996 film Kazaam. Choice eventually disbanded after recording an unreleased album; Pink remained at LaFace as a solo act under the stage name Pink, which was from Steve Buscemi’s character in the 1992 movie Reservoir Dogs. Daryl Simmons took her to recordings where she sang backing vocals for artists such as Diana Ross, 98 Degrees, Kenny Lattimore, and Tevin Campbell.

Pink met professional motocross racer Carey Hart at the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia. Hart had previously been screened in Pinks early music video clip “Just Like a Pill.” In 2005, Pink proposed to Hart during a Mammoth Lakes, California motocross race by holding up a “Will you marry me?” sign on his pit board. On the other side was written “I’m Serious!”. They married in Costa Rica on January 7, 2006.

In March 2009, Carey Hart revealed in an interview for SpeedFreaks that he and Pink were ‘dating’. Carey has also confirmed on Jason Ellis’ Sirius XM radio show, Chelsea Lately, and The Best Damn Sports Show Period that he and Pink are attempting to work things out stating: “Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps back to move forward”. Pink has stated that the couple has gone to marriage counseling and have gotten back together. They were never legally divorced.

Underground Travel Income Method #1 – Traditional Travel Job - Hold a job that either a) pays for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most commonplace.

Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.

Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!


Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine. However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.


Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this! It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile. Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very healthy income for selling just a few objects.

Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!

Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!

Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay – The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an internet café and collect the money!

Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!
