AUSTIN Dallas state Sen. John Carona, who swapped bitter personal insults with Republican colleague Dan Patrick just two years ago, is patching things up.
Carona and employees of Associa, his Dallas-based homeowners association management company, have strongly backed Patricks bid to become lieutenant governor.
On Tuesday, Associas political action committee gave Patrick $5,000 only the latest in a succession of peace gestures in the last 14 months totaling nearly $75,000.
Carona, the companys founder and chairman, was beaten by a tea party-backed challenger, Don Huffines, in March and is on his way out of the Senate after 18 years.
Like another GOP senator who publicly feuded with Patrick, former chief Senate budget writer Tommy Williams of The Woodlands, Carona has reasons to make nice with someone expected to become the Senates presiding officer.
Williams, now the Texas A&M University Systems top lobbyist, has papered over his rupture with Patrick last year. Patrick voted against final passage of the state budget that Williams helped craft. Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, Patricks Democratic opponent, has said that Patrick was resisting a boost to school funding, after the deep education cuts of 2011. Williams has said that Van de Putte mischaracterized the vote.
Similarly, Carona, chief executive of the largest company in the U.S. that manages homeowners associations, may need help fine-tuning future bills aimed at alleged HOA abuses.
On Thursday, though, Carona ignored a query over whether hes protecting Associa.
Senator Patrick is a conservative who believes in smaller government and fewer regulations, he said in an email. We are always pleased to support pro-business candidates across the country.
In May 2012, though, Carona branded Patrick a snake oil salesman and a narcissist that would say anything to draw attention to himself.

For the Hawaiian town of Pahoa, there is no easy way to stop the smoldering lava pouring from the Kilauea volcano.
In other places and at other times, people have blasted molten rock with seawater, built barriers, and even dropped bombs on lava to keep it from destroying property. But when the 2,000-degree river hits Pahoa, residents will be able to do little more than watch.
Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island has been continuously erupting since 1983, with most of the lava flowing into the ocean. A new vent began spewing molten rock in June. The lava is now at the doorstep of Pahoa, threatening the homes of its nearly 1,000 residents.
The big problem is that while lava flows can be diverted they can't be stopped entirely, and it's very hard to predict where they will go.
"Suppose you create a diversion and it happens to work," Peter Cervelli, associate director of science and technology for the USGS Volcano Science Center, told NBC News.
"You might save your house, but it diverts to your neighbor's house, and you have just created a problem for somebody else," he said.
People think of lava as an all-consuming fire that destroys everything in its path. But occasionally you will see molten rock flowing around a tree.
How is that possible? Once lava comes into contact with something cooler than itself, the outer layer will form a crust. Build a berm made of rock, dirt or other material that is high enough and the new crust will form a barrier.
That is what was done in 1983 at Mount Etna in Italy, where multiple mounds of rock and ash were constructed to stop lava from destroying the tourist area of town. Evidence shows that people have been trying this method for hundreds of years.
Building a barrier can work, but unless the lava stops on its own, it's only a temporary solution.

Mending Fences is the story of 28-year-old Drew (Iain Stewart) who returns to a farmhouse in rural Saskatchewan to re-connect with his emotionally-distant and difficult father after 13 years apart.
While this set-up may not sound laugh-out-loud funny, in the hands of playwright Norm Foster, there are plenty of comic moments and zingy one-liners to balance out the heavier emotional scenes.
Drews father Harry (Jack Nicholsen) hasnt learned from the mistakes of the past. He pushed his wife and teenage son out of his life through neglect and selfishness, and he runs the risk of doing the same with his neighbour-turned-lover Gin (Jane Spidell). Fortunately for him, Gin is a tough cookie with a great capacity for love.
The story alternates between the present and several pasts, and the transitions are effectively signaled through focused lighting and sound of a chill wind. The time-shifting allows the audience to develop a real empathy for Harry, as we see the seeds of his present problems sown in his troubled past. (Though the technique is less successful for helping us understand why Drew is a self-absorbed jerk.)
The plays structure is layered and sophisticated, but the humour and message are accessible and down to earth.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) October 28, 2014
Total Fence Inc. (http://www.TotalFenceInc.ca), the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial fence and deck installation in the Greater Toronto Area, is reminding all homeowners to take the steps to replace or install any fences before the cold weather begins.
As we are entering the phase of the fall season when the weather transforms into perpetual cold, any fence ideas homeowners wish to execute need to be done immediately, says Tony Defeo, owner of Total Fence Inc. The further into the cold season it gets, the more difficult it becomes to install any wooden or chain link fence in Toronto.
Defeo explains that it is not impossible to install a fence during the winter. However, homeowners are still advised to consider having their fence ideas implemented now because while possible, it becomes significantly more difficult to install a fence during the cold weather.
One of the main concerns is penetrating the fence deep enough into the ground so it is stable. With the ground hardened from the cold, this becomes difficult to do, he adds. Its also a bit of a safety issue, as the ground usually has patches of ice or is covered in ice, which can make problematic for our workers to operate safely and effectively.
With very few days of warm to cool weather left, the importance of completing any fence ideas or installation of wood or chain link fences in Toronto is becoming more urgent, Defeo concludes. At Total Fence Inc., we are fully capable of successfully installing fences during the winter and encourage homeowners to contact us right away.
Total Fence Inc. is the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial fence and deck installation in the Greater Toronto Area. With the technical expertise and experience to handle jobs of any size, from small backyard decks to custom carpentry, pergolas, ornamental iron fences, acoustic sound barrier fencing, and industrial chain link enclosures, Total Fence Inc. provides residents of the GTA and surrounding areas a complete range of affordable fence installation and repair services to suit their personal tastes and needs. For more information on Total Fence Inc., visit the companys web site at http://www.TotalFenceInc.ca or contact Total Fence Inc. by e-mail at info@totalfenceinc.ca or by calling (416) 239 5362.

Looking for a beautiful wood fence, privacy screen or privacy fencing? I design and build custom wood fences which reflect the architectural style of your home, whether you have a Mediterranean villa, a Spanish bungalow or a Craftsman home in the Los Angeles area.
I focus on building structures that are not only beautiful, but excellent value for the money and built to last. The right craftsmanship, building techniques and materials make all the difference in whether your wood fence will last 5, 10 or 15 years.
That is one of the reasons why I do all the work myself, so I can control the quality of construction and you don't have to deal with crews of workmen you have never met. My clients also hate having construction start and stop and stretch out for weeks, so I build for one homeowner at a time and stay on your project until it is done - usually completing most projects in one to two weeks. And I create a unique design for each client which reflects the unique look and feel of your home and garden.
Below is my portfolio of fence photos, as well as pricing for fencing in the Los Angeles area and a detailed fence design guide. I hope these will help you find the right builder and design a fence you will enjoy for years to come.
My portfolio features photos of my wooden fences and privacy screening so you can get an idea of the styles and types of fencing I design and build. To see more details about a project, just click on a photo.
As a first step, I recommend that you look at lots of different fences to discover what you do and don't like. You can mix and match design ideas and functionality to create the perfect fencing. So take a look at the photos below and online. If you see what you want (or something close), we can use that as a starting point for a client inspired design. For even more design ideas, check out the resources below. Then read over my design guide to get a really good idea of what you want, and the budget you want to spend.
When you are ready to get started, contact me and we can set up an appointment to tour your location, discuss design options and establish a budget, so I can give you a detailed estimate.
