Westley: We were well worthy
Stevenage manager Graham Westley insisted his side were worthy of their point from a goalless draw at Tranmere Rovers.
Last Updated: 07/09/13 7:42pm
Stevenage manager Graham Westley insisted his side were worthy of their point from a goalless draw at Tranmere Rovers.
Tranmere struck the woodwork through Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Evan Horwood, but failed to find the back of the net as Stevenage claimed a first-ever league point at Prenton Park.
"Nil-nil was probably a fair reflection of the game," said Westley.
"Neither side had too many significant openings. They've hit our post twice and we've had two great opportunities, but I think it was a fairly even game.
"We probably had the better of the possession over the 90 minutes, but that was two sides who have worked hard and because of early season results, pleased to take a point away.
"You could see that in the overall play towards the end, no-one was really throwing everything towards it to try and get the win.
"I thought it was a fair reflection of an afternoon's work. I watched the game here last year on the television when they got well and truly put away and I was here as Preston manager the year before they were beaten, so it's definitely an improvement.
"They hit our post once or twice and we carved out a few chances, but overall I'm pretty pleased to be picking up the club's first point here."

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:00:38 GMT —
Authorities have made a third arrest in a case where a young woman was sexually assaulted because the suspects believed she stole one of their boyfriends.
Cameron County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested Tina Marie Trevio on Monday.
Trevio is accused of being one of three women who beat up a 20-year-old woman and used their fingers to sexually assault her back on August 11th.
She's expected to appear before a judge at the Cameron County Jail on Tuesday morning.
Deputies arrested suspects Crystal Yvette Martinez and Maria Alicia Martinez last week but jail records show that they have been released on $45,000 dollar bonds.
Court records show that the three suspects believed the young woman had stolen Emmanuel Guerrero away from suspect Crystal Yvette Martinez
But the records show that the young woman was with her boyfriend at a nightclub in Brownsville when she was first confronted by the group.
Both the young woman and her boyfriend left with Guerrero to his apartment off Rene Avenue in the Southmost area of Brownsville.
Court records show that they were attacked in the parking lot of the apartment complex where the assault only ended after somebody used a gun to fire a shot into the air.
Guerrero remains behind bars after deputies found two pounds of marijuana at his apartment while investigating a case where his nephew was accused of kidnapping an sexually assaulting a woman.

O'Donnell win a challenge for GOP
Fresh from a stunning primary victory in Delaware, Republican Christine O'Donnell said yesterday she can win a Senate seat in November with or without help from party officialdom in Washington.
"There are a lot of people who are rallying behind me who are frustrated that the Republican Party has lost its way,'' said O'Donnell, who won the nomination with the support of activists from the Tea Party movement and now enters the fall campaign as an underdog to Democrat Chris Coons.
Her win was among the last hurrahs of a turbulent primary season in which the political horizon seemed to expand for Republicans, despite a series of upsets sprung by Tea Party-backed challengers.
The Republicans need a gain of 10 seats to win control of the Senate this fall, and 39 seats to take a majority in the House.
"Turnout and enthusiasm are off the charts because Americans have had enough of a Congress and an administration who simply refuse to listen to Americans who are speaking out,'' said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Other prominent Republicans, however, reacted warily to O'Donnell's win over veteran US Representative Mike Castle, whom they had recruited as the party's best chance of winning the Senate seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden.
"This is not a race we're going to be able to win,'' said Karl Rove, who was the principal political adviser to former President George W. Bush as well one of the leaders of a multimillion-dollar independent organization trying to fashion GOP majorities in Congress.
Yesterday, O'Donnell accused the party of "Republican cannibalism.''
"We have to rise above this nastiness and unify for the greater good, because there's a lot of work to be done and there are a lot of people who want to get involved if the Republican Party would,'' O'Donnell said.
O'Donnell said she hopes the party will unite to help her win in November, but added, "It is doable without the support of the Republican Party.''
The National Republican Senatorial Committee initially greeted her victory with a brief statement issued in the name of an aide rather than the customary praise from Senator John Cornyn, the Texan who heads the group. But in a statement at midday, Cornyn said he had offered O'Donnell his personal congratulations and the organization would send her campaign a check for $42,000, the maximum it is allowed for expenses that may be officially coordinated with the candidates.
Cornyn was vague on whether the party committee would also launch the type of independent effort that is already underway in Kentucky and is reserved for the most competitive races. Such efforts can run into millions of dollars in states where the cost of television advertising is high.
Mitt Romney applauded O'Donnell for a well-run campaign and urged Republicans to support her candidacy.
Democratic National Committee chief Tim Kaine told NBC's "Today'' that O'Donnell's win was a further sign of the "civil war'' in the Republican Party.
A day after the two clinched primary victories, Cicilline campaign manager Eric Hyers said Loughlin's positions on several issues, such as his support of allowing some privatization of Social Security, are too conservative in Rhode Island.
"Things like that are going to turn some heads,'' he said.
But Loughlin shot back, calling Cicilline out of the mainstream for what he called a lack of fiscal discipline during his job as mayor. "He believes in raising taxes, even during this recession,'' Loughlin said.
Property taxes went up this year in Providence after the state made deep cuts to local aid. Cicilline opposed the increase instituted by the city council, but allowed it to pass, saying the council left him no choice.
Whitman's campaign reported another $15 million contribution Tuesday, bringing her personal donation to $119 million.
The billionaire former
Bloomberg spent about $185 per vote for his reelection, and he did not take donations.
Whitman, however, has aggressively raised funds for her race against Democratic Attorney General Jerry Brown.

Sleep O Max
60 Capsules
Introducing Sleep-O-Max™, the new definition of a great night's sleep! It's our most advanced sleep formula to date! It provides you with four of the best nutritional sleep support ingredients to be found.
Valerian Root (extract and powder) and Passion Flower powder (from the leaf and plant) provide support for night time anxiety and insomnia.
We've included melatonin. Normally, the body supplies its own melatonin. It's triggered by the withdrawal of light from the eye's optic nerve. If you don't have enough available or you disrupted your sleep cycle (due to travel or unnatural sleep aids), it's another reason why Sleep-O-Max should be your choice!
L-Tryptophan is an amino acid. While it is contained in some foods, you may not be getting enough. This is especially true if you have been told to avoid meat and dairy or you are a picky eater in general. L-Tryptophan is so important because it is a precursor for melatonin, thus you get melatonin to support sleep immediately and L-Tryptophan to support the production of Melatonin!
Having trouble sleeping? Make Sleep O Max™ part of your night!

The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 18, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
Be sure to read our latest SSD article: The SSD Relapse for an updated look at the SSD market.
The Prelude
I spent about three weeks working on my review of Intel's X25-M SSD. Most of that was research and writing and re-writing to not only review the product but also to talk about the rest of the SSDs in the marketplace and their deficiencies. Truth be told, I spent more time working on SSDs that weren't the X25-M than the Intel drive itself. The Intel drive just worked as it should, the rest of them didn't.
If you read the article, you know I was pretty harsh on some of the SSDs out at the time and if you've ever used any of those SSDs, you know why. Needless to say, there was some definite fallout from that review. I'm used to negative manufacturer response after a GPU review, but I'm always a bit surprised when it happens in any other segment.
I took a day or two off after that review went live, I think it was a day. Afterwards, I immediately started working on a follow-up. There was a strange phenomenon a few people noticed, something I unfortunately picked up on after the review went live; if you filled the X25-M up and re-benchmarked it, it got slower. And I had no idea why.
A few weeks later, I had it figured out. But then Nehalem was right around the corner. I'd tackle it after that. But then a new batch of SSDs from OCZ and other vendors were almost ready. I told myself I'd do them all at the same time. Then CES happened.
The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
If you look at the SSD market today, you'd assume that it's very different from what it was just six months ago when the X25-M launched. People are worried that the Intel drive has issues with degrading performance over time. Some vendors are now shipping "revised" JMicron drives with multiple controllers, supposedly fixing all of the problems I talked about last year.
I hate to break it to you guys. As different as the world may seem today, it's all very much the same.
The Intel drive is still the best of the best. Yes, it, and other SSDs do get slower over time and later in this article I'll explain why it happens and why it's not as big of a deal as you'd think. The issues I complained about with the JMicron drives from last year are still alive and well today; they're just somewhat occluded.
Delay after delay kept me from writing this article, but I believe it's for the best. What went in to what you're about to read is nearly six months of research, testing and plain old work with SSDs.
The timing couldn't be more perfect. We're about to see a new wave of SSDs hit the market and it's time to separate the fact from the fiction, the benchmarks from reality and the men from the boys. The last time I wrote an article about SSDs I ruffled quite a few feathers. That's never my aim, but we'll see what comes of this one.

KadensDad - Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - linkHow do these drives fail? I have heard that they will just suddenly die, no more writes or reads possible. What I would like to know is what happens when it dies? Do you lose all data? Just can't write anymore? How does the OS respond? Any early warnings? What about e.g. CRC? How does possibility of data corruption compare to traditional SSD? What about RAID? Since the drives are electrical, not mechanical, this reduces the number of failure vectors and environmental concerns (e.g., ambient temperature over lifetime of the drive). Won't SSDs therefore fail closer together in time in a RAID configuration? This reduces the window of opportunity for fixing an array and also decreases the applicability of RAID, however marginal.

Sheboygan Press - Saturday - December 22, 1945 - p. 6
Miss Mueller Weds P. B. Riley
When Miss Bernice Mueller became the bride of Parvin B. Riley on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, the nuptial
service was read at the First Methodist church by the Rev. T. Parry Jones.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Theresa Mueller, 2130 S. Twelfth street. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Riley of Bridgeton,
New Jersey, are the parents of the bridegroom.
Two relatives of the bride attended the couple. Mrs. Clarence Strysick, her sister, was the matron of honor, and
Henry A. Mueller, her brother, was in the best man's role.
A wedding dinner was served at the Heidelberg club, and a reception later was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence Strysick. In the evening the couple departed for New Jersey where they will be at home at Bridgeton, where
the bridegroom is engaged in the dry cleaning business.
After graduating from Central High school and from Sheboygan Falls Normal school, the former Miss Mueller became an
airline communicator.
A guest from away at the service was Miss Wanda Olafson of Chicago.

The Rayburn and Henderson Families of Wilcox County Alabama
|Back to Index Page
Ernest David Rayburn
The Early Years
The William R. Rayburn and Robert Henderson families were residents of Wilcox County for many years. Both families took up residence in Wilcox county soon after Alabama became the twenty-second state in 1819. (Alabama was formed from the Territory of Mississippi.) Both men who headed these families sought to seek out a better life for themselves by acquiring land and establishing families in this newly founded state. Eventually they became neighbors on adjoining farms. Even though their ambitions were similar, their backgrounds and history were quite different.
Robert Henderson (born about 1793) was a generation ahead of William R Rayburn (born about 1825.) Robert was born in South Carolina. He came to Wilcox County soon after it was formed and married Mary Brown in 1824. For reasons unknown today, Mary did not live long. She died shortly after they were married. Robert then married Elizabeth McCowan in 1828. Before leaving South Carolina, Robert served for a short time in the 27th Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers during the War of 1812. It was this military service that entitled him to a land warrant (a right to acquire property from the government) for property in Wilcox County. In 1851 he acquired raw acreage in the Grampian Hills, located between Fatama and Camden. Although the land was not ideal for farming, he set out to make a home and living for his family on the farm.
William R. Rayburn was born in Mississippi in 1825, but soon thereafter was brought by his parents to Wilcox County. The exact date when William was moved to Wilcox County is not known, but his family appears in the 1830 Federal Census. William married Robert Henderson's eldest daughter, Frances Ann, in about 1846. In the same yearWilliam enlisted in the First Regiment of Alabama Volunteers for military service in the War Between the U.S. and Mexico. Although his service was short, it qualified him to receive land provided by congressional acts that made land warrants available to veterans of that war. It is believed that he married shortly after his return from service.
The land that had been acquired by the Rayburn and Henderson families was located in the Grampian Hills between the towns of Fatama and Camden. The rolling hills did not offer a lot of tillable land, but there were areas level enough for cultivation that could be developed along the ridges. The primitive farming tools available in those days limited the number of acres a man could cultivate. The number of his children who were old enough to work in the fields, as well as the number of livestock he could afford, also affected the size of the plot he could tend. First, selected areas of the raw land to be cultivated had to be grubbed, the sod broken, and then prepared for planting.
Land was grubbed primarily using primitive hand tools such as the axe and grubbing hoe. A team of horses, when available, could be used to help in the pulling of stumps. Then the land was broken with a wooden Georgia Stock plow equipped with a moldboard. The farmer would walk behind the plow pulled by oxen, mule or horses, guiding the plow to cut a furrow about 6 to 10 inches wide. This slow process meant a man was able to develop only a limited amount of raw land each year. It was an extremely rugged and demanding task. Because of the intensive labor required in clearing and grubbing farm areas, it was common practice to start with a small plot that could be cleared and prepared during the first winter. The following winter, when there was more time for clearing and preparing, additional land could be prepared for cultivation. The endless grueling work did not deter these pioneers.
They had dreams–dreams of a family, a homestead and sufficient nourishment, clothing, and shelter to survive. They dreamed of a community church, and enough leisure to attend with the family each Sunday. Some undoubtedly dreamed of a school where their children might learn reading, writing and arithmetic. (Public schools were not established in the U.S. until the early 1900s.) These dreams are simple, their fulfillment taken for granted today; but to realize these simple needs required arduous labor in Wilcox County, Alabama, and many other parts of the country, throughout the Nineteenth Century. By the time the War Between the States broke out, both the Henderson and Rayburn families were blessed with many children. The acquired land had been converted to established farms. Living conditions had improved and things were going well for them. The land Robert Henderson had received for his War of 1812 service and the land that William R. Rayburn had received for his Mexican War service had been improved, cotton was "king" of the crops in that part of Alabama, stock animals had increased in number, and the families were apparently finally realizing a few of their goals of a better life and reasonable prosperity. They were climbing toward their dream. I believe that the future to them looked bright.
At the time of the 1860 Census, the Monroe Brittingham, Robert Henderson and William R. Rayburn families were listed consecutively (dwellings 464, 465, & 466 respectively) thus we know that these families were living close to each other which provided mutual family support. No doubt, Robert Henderson, with his two sons-in-law living next to him, played a key role in helping the Rayburn and Brittingham families. Sarah Catherine Henderson, the second daughter of Robert Henderson and Elizabeth McCowan, had married IsaacMonroe Brittingham about 1846--the same year that Frances Ann and William R. Rayburn had married. But the War created unforseen problems, and posed some of the most difficult challenges these families had ever known. When the male adults of the family are called to war, farm families find their capability to carry out the farm tasks are severely curtailed.
The militia units from Wilcox County had names such as: Alabama River Rangers, South Alabama Rebels, The Bell Rifles, and The Wilcox Farmers. Isaac Monroe Brittenham and William R. Rayburn joined "The Bell Rifles," William DeKalb Rayburn, brother of William R. enlisted in "The South Alabama Rebels." As members of the militia, the men of Wilcox County could continue to farm their land and it was unnecessary for them to leave their homes. But in a matter of months, the conflict escalated and in the spring of 1862 these state militia units were made a part of the Confederate States Army of Tennessee. The Bell Rifles became part of the 38th Regiment, Alabama Volunteers. Monroe Brittingham was assigned to Company "A" and William R. Rayburn being assigned to Company "H" of this Regiment. DeKalb Rayburn was assigned to Co. "A" 23rd Alabama Infantry and Oliver Spencer Henderson enlisted in Co. "F" 8th Alabama Infantry. There may have been other members of the Henderson family who enlisted, but I do not have their records.
As members of the Confederate States Army, the men left their families and were taken to various training camps. The absence of the men to tend farms created an unmitigated hardship for the wives and families left behind. Someone had to take up the workload on the farm and function as head of the household. I think these departing soldiers may have believed that they would not be gone for more than a few months. Robert Henderson, now approaching 70, and his wife Elizabeth, must have been of unfathomable help to their two daughters who were both left with large young families. Life was more than difficult for these women with no husband or other male adult at home to direct and carry out the field work. But they considered themselves patriotic people, and I am sure they were proud that the men were willing to go and defend their newly adopted nation and the principle of states' rights.
According to the information my father relayed to me from his father, as far as the family was concerned at the time, the war was not about slavery at all. It was about the right of states to manage state affairs without interference from the Federal Government. The Henderson and Rayburn families did not own slaves and did not believe in slavery; but they did believe strongly that states should have the right to govern themselves, and that federal authority should be limited to actions specifically authorized by the Constitution.
Until the final months of the War, Wilcox County was sufficiently remote from the combat area that the battles were being fought on distant battlefields. The families of Wilcox were mostly fighting their own battles just to survive. But, near the end of the war, the situation worsened. The Confederacy was suffering military reverses and the Union forces were able to penetrate deep into the South. In a History of Wilcox County it is written, "Raiders traversed all sections of the County during the war. It was at the cross roads that the large saw mill of W. T. Matthews was located; here near the close of the War Between the States, 500 Yankee troop raiders came along and burnt the mill and killed the watchman. Camden ladies went there and gave the body a decent interment. In memory of those perilous times a handsome Confederate Monument - A Soldier in granite - keeps watch in the little city of the dead." And in another report of the situation, it is written, "Much property was destroyed and many valuables stolen. With the help of prominent citizens, Judge Cook saved most of the County records by hiding them in distant woods on the Bell place, which is on the Bridgeport Road, near the present home of Mr. Whirt Moore. During the same raid, many people saved their valuables by removing slabs in the family cemetery, putting valuables in the graves and replacing the slabs."
When I visited Winston Nettles (grandson of Robert Henderson) in Camden in 1981, he told me accounts of the Henderson family hiding valuables in a grave in the Cabell Cemetery near Camden to prevent looting by the Yankee soldiers. He told me that Robert Henderson did not believe in the reliability of banks and kept some gold in an old trunk at his home. Another family story that has survived through the descendants of Sarah "Belle"(Rayburn) Brooks provides some details of a specific incident that occurred at the William R. Rayburn home near the end of the war.
There had been some rumors that the Union soldiers were coming, although most communications had been cut off to the area. A runner came to Camden from Scotland (Alabama), in the Northern part of Monroe County, about twenty five miles south of Camden. The runner reported that a Union Cavalry force had passed Scotland and would soon reach Camden. This put the hostile troops right on a path to pass through the area where the Henderson and Rayburns were living. At that time, Sarah "Belle" Rayburn had not married and she was an eye witness. Years later, she told her children that the Yankee soldiers pitched camp in the woods not far from their home. The soldiers came to their house and confiscated their meager food supply, including the family livestock. She said they also took the pickets off the fence around their home for use as firewood. Perhaps fortunately, they were camped there for only a day or two, and then moved on. But the loss of food and livestock left the family in a critical situation, without food or even the milk and eggs that are common fare on a farm. Other families in the area may have come to their aid–at least they survived--but no details of that aid have survived.
By 1870 the family had recovered, to some extent, from the ravages of the war. Green was now 18 years old and was able to manage the family farm. Boll weevil infestation was increasing and the production of cotton was being reduced.
Robert Henderson died in 1873, and over the next few years the children of Frances Ann all married and started families of their own. The War Between the States caused the most suffering and hardship in the known history of this family. Family members who survived those times were reluctant to discuss the "bad times." Consequently, the details available to us today have been limited. Nevertheless, the glimpse we have of the large string of crippling hardships they endured, make us proud that we come from such strong stock. We carry the genes of a people who had genuine courage and grit!

Mechelec Ltd is a car repair and servicing business with a vastly experienced management team boasting over 80 years of industry experience.
The business celebrates 32 years of trading this year and by July of next year annual turnover is expected to be circa £1m.
Over the course of its long history, the company has consistently delivered a strong turnover:
– 9 months to 30 April 2015: turnover £609,510 – gross profit £232,893
– 12 months to 31 July 2014: turnover £819,130 – gross profit £309,693
– 12 months to 31 July 2013: turnover £890,084 – gross profit £248,141
The company is seeking to increase turnover to a projected £964,500 for year-end July 2016 with a £380,980 gross profit and operating profit of £77,255.
How will this be done?
The garage is currently approaching one of the busiest periods in the company's history. The workforce is inundated with new projects; the order book is increasing daily – and to turn orders into profits, three new permanent skilled staff are duly required.
To finance the new employees the business requires a £100,000 loan over 60 months. The documents section of the pitch contains details of a strong balance sheet, which a company debenture is secured against. The company has significant capital reserves and the loan will be underpinned by assets in the business.
Overheads will be little affected by the influx of new work and therefore the majority of the investment will be turned directly into profit.
Help the three directors finance growth and keep the business continue to build on its long history.
Purpose of Loan
The loan will be used for three purposes:
1. Provide working capital to enable three permanent skilled staff to be employed to complete work from an increasing order book.
2. To repay an existing invoice discounting facility that is no longer relevant to the business.
3. To purchase paint oven equipment that will enable paint shop work to be increased.
Management Experience
The directors of the company have between them over 80 years experience in the motor and commercial vehicle body building industry. Peter Pullin and Eric Cooper have been directors since the company's formation in 1983. Graham Lee has been a director for 21 years. All have a depth of experience and understanding in all areas of the business.
Why lend to us?
Mechelec Ltd is an established and successful business. Over the past years the company has re-invested profits into the business to ensure that it is stable and viable. The company has significant capital reserves and any will be underpinned by assets in the business.

When Carmel photographer Steve Crouch died in 1984, his work was headed for the dump. A telephone call from Huntington Witherill alerted me as to what was happening and I was able to persuade his son to let me have the whole archive. I didn't have a clue as to what I'd do with it. Three years later I was able to talk the University of California, Santa Cruz into placing it in their Special Collections. That was the start.
I found to my surprise that the majority of photographs from deceased photographers end up in the dump. Family and heirs frequently have no interest in what was a life's work. Only a few high profile photographers have work that interests collectors, libraries, universities, museums, etc. Yet, all photographs have a potential value. Everything is not just fine art. Historical information can be gleaned from surprisingly obscure nooks. If a photographer has been diligent in recording their work, it has more appeal to the academic world.
As time passed, I helped other photographers organize their work and in some cases, find a repository for it. The phone started ringing. "Can you help me" was a common question. It got to the point where I couldn't handle the load. I needed to get others involved. The outcome was FfPP. Foundation for Photographic Preservation. FfPP is comprised of a few hand picked reliable friends, people with a variety of expertise, people who cared and understood the importance of preserving photographs.
We're not a large organization. We only handle what we have time for. We continually attempt to alert others to the importance of preserving work. It's working. It's unpredictable. No two cases are alike. Each body of work has to be dealt with individually, because we're all different. Onetime beautiful prints are found wrapped in newsprint. Some are found stored in damp or humid places. Mold is common. And there are duplicates and duplicates and duplicates. Yet, what remains, and it is substantial, deserves to be preserved. FfPP can't do it all. We do what we can. What we would like to do is raise the level of awareness in others and maybe per- suade them to establish a similar organization in their own area.
As a traveling workshop instructor, I have seen countless 'sacks' of family prints. One time in a small Nebraska town a woman brought in a sack full of family tintypes. Gorgeous little gems, now damaged through carelessness. But salvageable, and a key to her ancestors. Irreplaceable. So that is what FfPP is about.


text: Hi! I've always used Kodak acetic stop with indicator and never once in my life had i seen it lose strength, i always discarded way before that happened. But ever since i started using HC-110 a couple of weeks ago, it seems to change color very, very quickly. Granted i'm doing a lot more printing, but that doesn't justify how quickly its losing strength. Does HC-110 do this or am i just being paranoid? the bottle of concentrate is freshly opened (the stop one, the HC-110 has been opened but almost full for about 2 years). Also, i have noticed that now when i fix and wash the film the fixer and water seem to come out with a slight pinkish tinge to them. However when i re-pour the fixer out of the bottle next time it seems perfectly clear. WTF??? Could this also be because of the HC-110? or is it the anti-halation layer in the T-MAX (i thought that was supposed to be dissolved in the developer) i'm currently developing? any help appreciated!

Here are 16 reasons why the Lobos will reach the Sweet Sixteen (or CLICK HERE for 16 reasons why they won't):
1. The law of averages: The Lobos have broken this law in the Big Dance so often, they could be arrested. But it's about time, would you not agree?
2. They're really good: We'll have more on this subject as we progress.
3. Doug Gottlieb says so, that's why: In fact, Gottlieb and his CBS Sports colleague, Seth Davis, have the Lobos going to the Final Four. As sure as these guys are of themselves, how could they possibly be wrong?
4. Dick Vitale says they won't: I have no idea how good or bad Dickie V is at predicting such things, but I find his lack of faith in the Lobos somehow comforting.
5. Defense: The Lobos rank 22nd among the NCAA's 345 Division I men's basketball teams in field-goal percentage defense (38.8). Only two teams in the West Regional, top-seeded Gonzaga and 16th-seeded Southern, are better in that department.
6. The weak West: Everyone seems to agree that New Mexico is a strong No. 3 seed in the tournament's weakest region.
7. Scoring balance: Can Tony Snell keep shooting the way he did at the Mountain West Tournament? That would be awfully nice from a UNM standpoint, but if this season has taught us anything, it's that the Lobos are not dependent on any one player. Six different players have led UNM in scoring in at least one game this year. The fact that one of the six is Demetrius Walker, who has been suspended, doesn't bother me at all. How about you?
8. No poison Ivy: Harvard, the Lobos' opponent in Salt Lake City on Thursday, is a tough team to figure. A victory over California and a narrow defeat to St. Mary's, both NCAA Tournament teams, suggest Harvard could be a tough out, but look for UNM, as it has done all season, to find a way.
9. Inside, outside: The Lobos are quick where quickness is needed, big where bigness — er, size — is demanded. Opposing teams have struggled to find a weakness.
10. The Arizona Mildcats: We'll assume for these purposes that sixth-seeded Arizona will get past 11th-seeded Belmont and face the Lobos in the round of 32, though that might prove an unwarranted assumption. This is a talented and dangerous Wildcats team, but one the Lobos can handle.
11. The faithful: Lobo fans' joyous din all but drowned out UNLV fans in their own building during Saturday's Mountain West Conference Tournament final. Salt Lake City ain't Vegas, but expect Lobos fans to be loud and energetic at EnergySolutions Arena.
12. Livin' at the line: All basketball teams, pretty much, aspire to make more free throws than their opponents attempt. The Lobos actually do it — 581 free throws made this season compared to 480 attempted by the other guy. The Lobos' parade to the foul line hasn't always made for pretty basketball, except on the scoreboard.
13. The karma of 16: Lobos freshman forward Nick Banyard's birthday is the 16th of February. Sophomore point guard Hugh Greenwood once averaged exactly 16 points a game in a tournament for the Australian junior national team. A reach? Maybe, but it's best to take karma wherever one can find it.
14. Playing with purpose: The 2012-13 Lobos are a talented team that performs above its talent level. Not many teams do that.
15. Screening with a vengeance: Gottlieb was complaining the other day via Twitter that the Lobos often are guilty of setting illegal, moving screens. Legal or illegal, few teams I've seen this season screen as effectively as New Mexico does.
16. Steve Alford: As I write this, the elephant in the room reminds me that I panned the hiring of Alford as UNM coach back in 2007. Wrong guy for the job, I wrote. For the wrong guy, he's done surprisingly well. It's truly remarkable how few missteps he and his staff have made, whether the subject is recruiting or coaching, in bringing the program to national prominence.
Now, you pitiless pachyderm, will you leave me alone?

Appleton becomes Venky's latest casualty
"For two weeks, it was normal," said Michael Appleton. "For two weeks, it was brilliant." This isn't the first interview about his brief time as Blackburn. It is Appleton's own analysis of his spell at Portsmouth, where his honeymoon period was followed by administration and relegation. Renowned, until recently, as one of the most promising young coaches in the game, the latest addition to a growing group of managers sacked by Blackburn seems to have proved he possesses an uncanny ability for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Perhaps, too, he is the wrong man. His axing after two months at Ewood Park means judgements on his abilities cannot be definitive. What can be said with certainty is that he talked of promotion when he arrived and left Rovers in danger of relegation to the third tier, a depth they have not plumbed since 1979-80. He oversaw Arsenal's ejection from the FA Cup, less than five weeks before his sacking, but his team, even with a Wembley semi-final at stake, could only draw 8,635, thought to be the lowest quarter-final gate since World War II, to Ewood Park for the game against Millwall.
He had a squad that is, man for man, perhaps the strongest - and probably the most expensive - in the Championship but a team that is among the weakest. Despite possessing a prolific, £8 million, striker in Jordan Rhodes, his side failed to score in five of their last seven games and won none of them.
Where it becomes a matter of interpretation is how much of the blame lies at Appleton's feet. The reality is that, since their season started on August 18, his 67-day stint in charge is the longest of any of the five men to take charge of Blackburn. Henning Berg, the previous, supposedly permanent, manager, lasted for 57. Should Gary Bowyer, whose first caretaker spell in charge ranked as the most successful spell in a miserable campaign, remain at the helm until June, the interim appointment will have proved the most durable. Compared to Blackburn, even Roman Abramovich seems a paragon of patience.
Given the backdrop of instability and the behind-the-scenes infighting, therefore, three questions spring to mind: Was anyone really surprised to hear of Appleton's sacking? Could any manager succeed at Blackburn? And was it really wise to quit Blackpool, after a mere 65 days, to head east along the M55 and M65?
In January Appleton called the decision a "no brainer". But while the Seasiders are in decline and the penny-pinching chairman Karl Oyston grants his managers little money, he at least affords them job security. Colin Hendry, dismissed in 2005, was the last man unceremoniously booted out of Bloomfield Road.
That Blackburn are thought to have tripled his wages and possessed better players clearly proved persuasive to Appleton. An eloquent man who had been dogged by misfortune in both his playing and managerial careers, the 37-year-old made a positive initial impression.
Yet feelgood factors rarely last at Ewood Park. This was no exception. Appleton antagonised too many in his short reign. A reason why the stands were so under-populated for the Millwall game was that supporters were unhappy with the joyless, direct football - at least, as many have pointed out, when Sam Allardyce's tactics also lacked aesthetic appeal, he steered Rovers to 10th in the Premier League - and the clinical Rhodes was starved of chances. A focus was put on keeping clean sheets, prompting the theory that Appleton is not a manager as much as a defensive coach.
And having been appointed by one of the warring parties at Ewood Park - managing director Derek Shaw and operations director Paul Agnew who, like Appleton, are all alumni of Preston North End - he began purging Blackburn of the players signed or favoured by the other faction, headed by global advisor Shebby Singh. The exits of the creative contingent of Mauro Formica and Ruben Rochina left Rovers short of invention. Appleton, having declared the squad he inherited had too many footballers who wanted to operate as a No. 10, may have ended up with too few.
The departures of several untried Portuguese players was largely overlooked but the marginalisation of Danny Murphy, stripped of the captaincy and omitted altogether for the Millwall game when nine players were either injured or cup-tied, seemed needlessly mean-spirited. Despite Murphy's decline, Blackburn do not have 27 better footballers.
Now his firing suggests the pendulum of power has swung back from Shaw and Agnew to Singh. Appleton's fate, after two wins in 10 league games, is to join Steve Kean and Berg on the list of those who have presided over an ignominious fall. It is headed, of course, by Venky's, whose three managerial appointments have all backfired and whose reputation, however many PR companies they hire, is damaged further by every blunder. Now Bowyer, the academy coach, is charged with ensuring that Blackburn, whose owners dreamed of signing David Beckham and Ronaldinho when they took the club over, are not welcoming Burton and Rotherham in League One next season.

Since 2008 NEXSYS Financial Inc. has been servicing the Canadian Mortgage Brokerage industry providing underwriting and fulfillment services to mortgage professional across the country. NEXSYS has decided to discontinue their brokerage channel division in favour of focusing on their lender back office services.
Effective immediately, NEXSYS' Brokerage Services division will no longer be accepting applications from mortgage professionals. All remaining deals in the NEXSYS system will be processed through to funding.
Following is a message from NEXSYS CEO Mark Pooley:
"We are very pleased with the service we have been able to offer to the Broker channel. Our statistics have shown that our approach to underwriting, fulfillment and specifically document validation, has been prudent as we have been able to maintain an average lender funding ratio in excess of 80% with zero reported derogs on thousands of funded files over the last 5 years. Our focus has always been on prudent underwriting and with considerable lender interest in our document validation services and our associated software, we will be putting all of our efforts and resources into this emerging opportunity."

To the Editor:
My wife and I went to Ukiah to do some shopping and eat at Applebees. On the way, as usual, I stopped and picked up the Ukiah Daily Journal. The minute I looked at the front page I thought I was at the circus and looking at a joker's show list. I was shocked regarding this appeal.
Ukiah has do-gooders like all other towns, counties and states that make no sense and crawl out from under the rocks and grass with crazy ideas. I have been reading for years the Costco controversy. The Ukiah Planning Commission had more than done its job, with hearings, research and proof before they OK'd this project, that is how things are done and the "crybabies" should know this.
After the planning commission reviews, then it went before the Ukiah City Counsel for final approval. I was not there but have been to many meetings in many counties; but I am sure that this project was picked apart by the "crybabies" at the counsel meeting. At the end they lost and the community of Ukiah won.
The appeal was filed by people that have nothing to do but go to meetings and cause problems. The way to keep the "crybabies" quiet is not by postponing Costco, because the community will win in the end because of the proper homework and hearings done by the City Council. Just think about the downside. Daily the City of Ukiah and its residents, and taxpayers are losing revenue, jobs and bargains for the community. I feel that Costco should be sending a bill along with the City of Ukiah to this group for lost revenue, lost wages for approximately 50-60 or more workers, thousands of dollars in lost constructions wages, concrete, and electricians. All of this is a disaster for the Ukiah Community, its future employees and tax payers.
Costco, as anyone can tell you, is a first class operation and would be an asset to the community and the surrounding businesses. I have a friend in the Bay Area that stops in the Richmond Costco to buy gas at a discount of 2-3 cents a gallon. Think of that for the local community, where jobs are tough and money is tight. I think it is time for the "crybabies" to put their money where their mouth is and write a check to the City of Ukiah for loss of sales tax, property taxes, building fees, sewer and water hook-up fees, jobs, including construction jobs. This would be a major asset for any community.
We have less do-gooders in Lake County if Ukiah decides to give it up.
Thank you for your time this would even be an asset for the Ukiah Daily Journal for the advertising in their paper. It is a win-win for every one of the residents in the Ukiah Valley and surrounding areas.

So after all the backlogging, I'm happy to be writing about one tea that is currently still warm in the cup next to me.
First off, a HUGE thank-you to ScottTeaMan for this wonderfully generous portion, among others. I had been intrigued by this blend for a while, and it seemed to elude my shopping list time after time. I originally fell in love with it's backstory, and have been meaning to try for some time.
To get to the point, I'm adding this to the ranks of my other favorite Harney straight black teas, Malachi McCormick's Blend and Royal Palm Court. It's a wonderful breakfast tea, and perfect way to start the day. It's brisk and bold, but has a pleasant maltiness, and full-body appeal to it. The presence of 8 different teas does not create chaos and incongruence as I sometimes fear has the same effect as wearing more than one perfume at once. These eight separate teas, however, complement each other nicely, adding depth and complexity and bringing out each other's full potential. This would fit well among the ranks of the best solid black tea blends.


text: My grandfather-in-law was an avid photographer. He shot all over the world, professionally. He was also a machinist. We purchased their house (white bear lake) when they moved into a nursing home, and inherited all the stuff that came with it. He passed on a few years ago. What our fuse box refers to as a "wine cellar" had been the "dark room." He developed his own film. I believe it was medium format mainly, but also possibly some large, I can't be sure. I'd guess small too. It consists of a B+W enlarger (handmade), a color enlarger, a film dryer, magnet-hook things for hanging things off the HVAC duct, tongs, pans, a stand that holds the pan like a sink with a counter, and possibly more. The clock thing, probably the red light bulb? Any chemicals left I'm sure are expired and gross. There's probably photo paper. I don't know how to load film, let alone develop it. I appreciate those who do, of course. What is a fair price to sell this stuff for without doing crazy amounts of research into learning what it all is? I have a couple friends I think might be interested, and if they're not I'll go public

Actually my friends went to see A Christmas Story (locally, not Broadway) and they LOVED IT! It was fabulous. Oh God I love that movie. ANYWAY,
Is there a thread somewhere more "Gamer" to look at to find said whatever you're talkin abouts for Vista so I can play with Lara again?
If you screw it up this time... Then I'll know you don't know what you're talkin about or you're just an idiot being mean.
All joking aside, I have honestly no idea what you are talking about, tipto :/

That's what you said DRIBER... just look UP for a change.You can still play all the TR games with Vista. There are patches to make them compatible.
Ahhh I get it now. By "talk to me baby" you were referring to playing TR on Vista
(Quote tags FTW )
Alrighty then, which TR game are you having trouble with?
Driber.net | Forum Thumbnailer | Driber Wagon | RAWR! | TR Ancient Legends III - Lost Chambers | -- .- .-. .. . / .. ... / -.-. ..- - . :-)
None of them load on Vista. I have all of the TR's.
TR III works a little bit, but eventually screws up.
I really wanna play with TR I and I also have the Gold version... but alas... NO WAY are they gonna work hunny. No way.
I feel like BLANKEY on The Brave Little Toaster movie...
buwaaaaaaaaaaaah hah ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaah
The force is strong with the new Lara Croft. You know what i mean? i can't add anymore hype than it's already is. Just a thought.
Follow these instructions and let me know if it makes a difference:
TR3 and The Lost Artifact were designed to run under Windows 98. So your game may need a little tweaking to run smoothly on a computer running Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. Before patching, try this simple fix:
- After installing the game, locate the tomb3.exe or tr3gold.exe file. (Use the Search function in the Windows Start Menu if you have trouble.)
- Right-click on the tomb3.exe or tr3gold.exe icon and choose 'Properties' from the drop-down menu.
- Click the 'Compatibility' tab.
- Check the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose 'Windows 98/Windows Me' from the list.
- Click the 'OK' button.
- Run the game as usual.

Thank you hunny. I copied and pasted to Dtop so we can try it when we have a moment.... TIS THE FRIGGIN SEASON, ya know??? ... busy busy busy...
Ummmmmm, *looks uncomfortably at toes*...
I gave your coOkies away. They were gettin yucky!!!
Okay, so XZX here's my question.
Well actually, FIRST is the explanation or if you will, scenario:
My son 18 yrs old (who's going to Boot Camp United States Air Force) in a little while from now...
XZX Are you pondering your answers yet???
Anyway, my son woke up this morning with 102.5 F temperature. Ummm, yuck. So I take him to the Doctor, full-well knowing that he has "Influenza" by the symptoms alone. He HAD HIS FLU SHOT as we ALL did in late October of 2012 (as always).
So the Doctor says, "Son, you have Influenza type A". Here's some Codeine Cough Syrup... get outta my office. Oh and have a nice day.
SO, my question is hunny... WHY do people toss the term "Flu"
... "Oh, I've got the Flu"...
Why do people toss that term around when they simply have a virus or a *bug*
Don't people realize that the "Flu" (not swine or bird) but the regular FLU has nothing to do with vomiting or diarrhea or all that? The real "Flu" is simply that you wish you were dead. You hurt from the tip of your hairs on your head to the tip of your toenails. You have a fever/chills too, and cannot stop coughing. The coughing only hurts the hurts that you already have. He's infectious for ten days (sorta like Chicken Pox... you're infectious the entire time)
But Flu ~ there's no vomiting, no diarrhea... So answer me XZX...
why does everyone toss the word "flu" around like it's nothing?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Yeah, it's well known medical knowledge that doctors and dentists got together and created flu so they could invent flu shots to give to everyone Besides, everyone knows teeth are the root of all evil
You just gotta be right this time!
I prefer to call Brad "thighs" actually. Ya know, from *Troy*
Thighs of Troy! *cough* or somethin like that there...
Now, I adore Angelina even more than Thighs and I'm so glad that Jen has no sour grapes. *giggle*
You always know the answer XZX.
I sold a drawing today. Today was a good daay for my belly lol
Sorry I haven't been around in a while. I've been busy with school and a special someone. ^.^
@ flu talk: Somehow I've missed the flu this year despite having a job as a cashier and volunteering at the pool. Instead my nose has been "sort-of" runny for weeks now although in the last few days it will get slightly worse.
Hello eveyone :3
I haven't been in this thread in a very long time !
I'm here to express my gratitude ~ So Thank You to Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Interactive and Square Enix for the new Tomb Raider game !
I cannot wait to swan-dive into the new epically awesome adventure with Lara !
She is the Ultimate Heroine, regardless of being a computer-generated character !

Last week, in a strongly-argued piece in The New Statesman, British author and journalist Steven Poole took a stand against the modern world's obsessive pursuit of authenticity. "Second-hand clothes have been re-described as 'vintage' as though they were fine wines which flatteringly project an air of discriminating scholarship on to the prospective buyer. Some new clothes call themselves pre-worn, faded, or distressed, soaking the product in an ersatz history and off-the-peg personality," wrote Poole, naming products that "featured dents, scratches and areas where the paint or varnish has been painstakingly sandpapered off or the white plastic trimmings have been yellowed".
Delightful or dampening, authenticity has indeed become a modern affliction. But it is hardly about making it look deliberately old to suit new aspirations. It is not even a passing urge that can be fixed by merely rummaging through a grandmother's time-worn trousseau. At Lounge, when we first thought of a luxury edition on retro modernism, many pertinent questions and terms (French and other local cousins of retro) came tumbling out. Do you mean the 1970s, the 1960s or the 1930s? asked some of our guest writers. Vintage or antique? Really old or new vintage? Nostalgia or just a longing for cherished things that grows intense with the passage of time? Postmodernism, right? But when was modernism?
This graph of zigzag thoughts, this spontaneous thesaurus pinned down the theme for the pages that follow. Retro modernism or vintage modernism, also described as time travel, is a combination of elements, movements and periods from the past tweaked with modernist functionality. As a concept it is both new and old.
But for the past couple of years, in fashion, luxury, design, architecture, leisure, lifestyle, craft and consciousness, it has been invoked like a shared global religion—with designers referencing past centuries for new catwalk collections, young brides visiting revivalists to restore family heirlooms for their digitally smart weddings, travellers paying exorbitant amounts to live in a palace, or brands bringing out heritage products to convert younger clienteles and new markets. From a forgotten chair in an Indore palace to a memory of hot chapatis made with a specially designed wooden rolling pin, from living inside a 200-year-old heritage home, to a fashion interpretation of hanbok, the traditional Korean garment, an old pen that has an almost print-like quality, especially when it is put to thought in Gujarati and Urdu, and a shopping guide to quell your "I want it too" retail urge—we have a lot here. The edition is strewn with less heard, warm and witty personal anecdotes that make it retro modern in a special way.
If the future is just a mysterious blank and the present is only hatching, sometimes in an uninspiring way, the past becomes a refuge. It can be reopened and reused as friend, muse, map and craftsman. It is such a luxury.

Genuine luxury really means 'Pehchan'—understanding—of an old, talismanic memory that is precious or a piece of design that has stayed back to become your own.

After more than 4,000 residents were chased out of their homes by rapidly rising floodwaters, Hurricane Isaac-weary residents in St. John the Baptist Parish turned to cleanup and assessment, while authorities announced Friday that residents could get federal help with that process. Parish officials said federal assistance should soon begin flowing to residents after FEMA amended its major disaster declaration to include individuals affected by Hurricane Isaac in St. John Parish.
403 Forbidden
Parish President Natalie Robottom said the parish is working to set up a disaster recovery center, which could be available to residents as early as today.
Residents who have been evacuated to state shelters will also be registered.
Available assistance could include grants for temporary housing and home repairs and uninsured property losses and other programs, according to FEMA.
About 4,000 residents were evacuated from more than a dozen St. John subdivisions on Wednesday and Thursday after authorities say an unprecedented tidal surge from Lake Pontchartrain sent rapidly rising floodwaters into streets and homes.
In addition to flooding, Robottom said the parish learned on Friday that tornadoes had touched down in the Peavine area, but she didn't give a damage assessment.
Door-to-door effort ends
Rescue efforts had wound down on Friday and St. John Sheriff Mike Tregre said emergency responders have stopped going door to door and were only responding to calls for assistance.
403 Forbidden
He said several residents initially passed on emergency responders' offer to evacuate but changed their minds once they saw how quickly the water was rising.
"The National Guard got a lot of calls asking us to come back," he said.
Robottom said in addition to the 4,000 residents who had been evacuated, 2,000 others were staying with family and friends.
She asked those who had been evacuated outside of the parish to state shelters in Alexandria and Shreveport to be patient, saying the parish wants them back but that it is unsafe to return home now.
She said a long-term plan to house displaced residents is in the works and could include FEMA housing.
Looters arrested in Reserve
With so many people away from home and with more than 18,000 customers still without electricity, Tregre turned his attention to securing property.
On Thursday night, sheriff's deputies arrested two looters caught burglarizing a store in Reserve, he said.
"Two people were trying to steal cigarettes, chips and vodka," Tregre said.
On Friday night, deputies were stationed at the St. James and St. Charles parish lines, stopping people from trying to enter St. John Parish. Tregre said only residents and those with work credentials would be allowed in during the 8 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. today curfew.
Tregre asked people from outside St. John to refrain from traveling through the parish after the curfew was lifted at 6 a.m.
"I understand LSU is playing. I'm an LSU fan too, but I will publicize alternate routes to get to Baton Rouge," he said. "Traffic conditions are delaying our efforts to restore power." With no electricity and no running water in LaPlace, Tregre advised evacuated residents against returning to the area until conditions improve.
403 Forbidden
The Sheriff's Office lost 10 cars to flooding, some at deputies' homes and some during rescue efforts, he said.
Hospital opens this morning
River Parishes Hospital was scheduled to reopen this morning, and a temporary medical facility for prescription refills and minor medical conditions has been established in the medical offices in front of the hospital. The temporary facility is scheduled to be open today and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A mental health counseling center is now open at New Wine Christian Fellowship in LaPlace.
Meanwhile, the St. John the Baptist Parish school district has canceled classes until Friday. Two schools -- East St. John High School and Lake Pontchartrain Elementary School -- were flooded and will remain closed.
The district is working on a plan to place those students at alternate sites, said interim Superintendent Herbert Smith.
Smith said other campuses sustained minimal damage.
The district also lost five buses to flooding.
Restoring water in LaPlace
Robottom said the parish was "extremely close" to getting potable water service restored to LaPlace. She said the floodwater had receded enough to get to the Ruddock pump but that the National Guard is transporting people and supplies by helicopter because U.S. 51 is still inaccessible. The parish cut the water service off on Wednesday to prevent floodwaters from contaminating the system.
U.S. Sen. David Vitter was among several elected officials who visited St. John on Friday to meet with local officials and visit devastated neighborhoods. He described the damage left behind by Hurricane Isaac as horrible.
"It's Katrina flooding all over again," he said.
Vitter said he would push for hurricane protection for the area and work to determine what effect hurricane protection in other parishes has had on flooding in areas outside the hurricane protection levee system.
"The obvious question is, has it been made worse by hurricane protection to the east of here? Whatever the answers, we're going to be demanding hurricane protection for St. John the Baptist Parish," he said. "We need a true, scientific assessment. But only looking at the anecdotal evidence, the answer is yes based on the flooding."
Landrieu said at this point, pinning the flooding problems in St. John on hurricane protection in other areas is just speculation, but she agreed that St. John needs a "more robust" levee-protection system.
Sudden flooding
However, in the Cambridge subdivision of LaPlace, as in the dozens of other neighborhoods that experienced what befuddled parish officials call an unprecedented tidal surge from Lake Pontchartrain, many of them asked the question, "Why?"
"I've been here for 17 years, and nothing like this has ever happened before," said Jerry Jones, a truck driver who had several feet of water inside his home and spent much of Thursday night ferrying neighbors up the street in his 18-foot fishing boat.
"I walked into my house and the water was up to my waist," said Raffeal Neal, a juvenile officer with the 40th Judicial District.
Neal said there was no water in his home on Essex Avenue at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"By 8:30, the street was flooding. By 9:45, I cranked up the boat. It got to be waist high inside my house," he said.
Jones said he and other fishers helped evacuate residents from their homes. Jones used his 18-foot fishing boat to travel the rising waters to help.
"I ferried as many people out of here as I could," he said. "We stayed until about 9 o'clock that night bringing people out. We did it ourselves."
On Friday morning, the brown water streaked with gasoline had receded from chest-deep to thigh-deep on the north end of Cambridge Drive, and residents were slowly returning to sift through what was left of their belongings.
"This is a new car," said Cambridge Drive resident Cornelius Watkins. "The water got up to about here," he said, pointing to the middle of the front grille.
'I feel like I've been deserted'
Some residents say they were frustrated by the lack of supplies.
LaPlace resident Glenn Dottolo said he waited for two hours for water at Emily C. Watkins Elementary School on Friday morning, but had to leave after the supply truck couldn't get through.
"Then I was told to go to East St. John Elementary. It took me another two hours of waiting, and I was given two bottles of water because I was the only occupant of the vehicle. That's for four people, and after days of being without water. I'm a mile away from the parish center, and I feel like I've been deserted."
The LaPlace Park subdivision just west of Belle Terre Boulevard saw flooding at least six feet deep on the north end of the subdivision, and only the homes north of Swan Street took on water.
Resident Bettye Ehrhard and her son-in-law pulled a pirogue with belongings as they walked through the muddy water between Camelia and Magnolia streets on Friday to stay with a friend, along with Ehrhard's husband, who is ill.
"We have to get him out," she said.
Resident Steven Menard was upset because he said no one alerted the residents to the rising water until it was too late to save much.
"They had Wildlife and Fisheries people racing up and down here, but no one told us that the water was coming up. They should have woken us up," he said.
His brother, Chris Menard, said the family moved eight vehicles from their home, but they were unable to save two classic cars from the flood.
"We had people staying with us because it never floods here," Chris Menard said.
Others said Hurricane Juan, which struck in 1985, did push some water into the neighborhood.
St. Charles largely spared
But unlike neighboring St. John Parish, only four or five houses were reported to have sustained flood damage in St. Charles Parish, authorities said Friday.
The parish's public schools are expected to reopen Tuesday.
"We are in great shape compared to St. John," St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said. "Most of our stores are reopened and gas stations. Our main concern right now is coping with the traffic. Because I-10 is closed at LaPlace, people are using Airline Highway as an alternate route, and it's creating real headaches."
