The Lake Charles Police Department takes in many weapons after arrests are made, but it's not just weapons in the evidence room.
The evidence room stores stolen items, like bikes and computers, as well as narcotics.
"It's something you have to be very strict about," said LCPD Chief Don Dixon.
Dixon said anything goes when it comes to a weapon, or evidence, and the room where the items are kept is filling up.
"We're running out of room literally in our evidence room," Dixon said. "We take in a lot of weapons. I think last year in 2012 we took in 145 weapons."
Dixon said once the weapons are stored in the evidence room, the LCPD keeps them until the case is disposed of. After that, firearms and other weapons are destroyed, and the narcotics are burned.
Sgt. David Streva at the LCPD handles all crime scene and property evidence. He said it's a lot of work keeping up with the evidence room.
"At last count, total items, we were probably knocking on the door about 100,000 pieces of evidence," Streva said. And keeping up with the evidence room comes with a special way of storing the evidence.
"All of these have different bin locations," Streva said pointing to the weapons. "So, if I need to retrieve that item, to find it, I can go into the computer, find out what bin location it's in, come to that bin location and I'll be able to retrieve that item."
Each item has a file number, case number and a description of the evidence. And if the item is stolen, the only way the rightful owner can retrieve his or her property is if they have proof.
"I highly recommend anything you own that's got a serial number, report it. Keep it separate. Valuables, take photographs of it. I can't emphasize that enough," Dixon said.
A lot of times stolen items, ranging from weapons to bikes to computers and TVs, are recovered in local pawn shops, according to Dixon.
He said about 90 percent of crime in the Lake Charles area is a direct result of drug use for people needing money.
Dixon said many of the stolen bikes that end up in the evidence room at the LCPD are donated to local charities.

Mike the Movie Guy on May 8th, 2013 | MOVIE REVIEWS
A follow-up to the 2009 release of G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA, which grossed over $300M worldwide, Paramount Pictures, MGM and Skydance Productions, in association with HASBRO and di Bonaventura Pictures, commences production on G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. The film stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson. Directed by Jon M. Chu, and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Brian Goldner, from a screenplay by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe(R) characters, the film is scheduled to be released on June 29,2012.
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. I just watched the trailer again and I was right – - for ME…the trailer was definitely better than the movie. (lol) Don't get me wrong – I'm a fan of the cast. Channing Tatum was cool…The Rock a beast…Adrianne Palicki…HOLY CRAP BALLS!! That's all I'm going to say about her. (lol)
I remember watching and thinking – "so far so good." THEN…it got cheesy – - the whole meeting of Joe (Bruce Willis) – - guns all hidden in his house and was it just me – - but when I blinked – Bruce Willis was gone…like NOT a whole lot in the movie?! (lol) The Rock going to his old neighborhood?! THEN came the super cheesy stuff – Rza as a ninja master?!!? WTF?!!? That whole story between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. WTF?!?! G.I. JOE: RETALIATION felt rushed and confusing. For me – - it was a total let down.
I give G.I. JOE: RETALIATION… 2 ½ out of 5 popcorns!

Photograph of Jewell Teegardin fishing on a rock above the falls and Beatrice Williams fishing in the foreground, Rainbow Angling Club, Azusa, October 1930. Both women can be seen wearing knee-high laced-up boots, breeches, and sleeveless collared shirts. They hold fishing poles and have baskets slung over their shoulders.
So, does this place still exist? I did a quick google search and only photos turned up. If not, what has it become?
Great post, btw.
Rainbow Lakes still exists but it is now a condo complex. It was converted to an apartment complex in 1980 and then into condos in 1985. I have lived there since 1996.
And there are still fish in the lake. It is stocked every December when/if we can find a fish hatchery.
Is this the lake?
My friends and I used to awim in the vacant ruins durring the mid to late sixties. The closest you can get now is the front of the condos built alont the south side. You can still see the body of water in Google images. We had good times at Happy Jacks as well.
These are wonderful pictures. I live at the end of the lake where you see the deck and patio. There was a restaurant and ballroom in the 50′s and 60′s where there was dancing on Sat. nite and many proms were held here, I'm told. I've been here in the condos for 20 years. It's very beautiful, still.
Shirley, as you know Jack`s band played there for some of the dances
i live here now…still beautiful quaint and quiet.
I started Kindergarten at the nearby Dalton School in 1961 and attended that school all the way through 6th grade. I remember going with family and/or friends to the Rainbow Angling Club once or twice as a child to go swimming as they had a couple of pools there. I think I even fished there as well. Sometime while I was still attending Dalton in the 1960′s (I don't remember exactly what year), the club caught on fire somehow and burned down. I remember all of us kids being out on the playground across the street and watching it burn. To my knowledge it was never rebuilt or reopened. I was always kind of saddened by that event as I thought it was a cool and mysterious place. Later on in Jr. High and High School I hiked along the canal a couple of different times that feeds into the fishing pond at the Club there. Years later as an adult I recall hiking around the facility and looking at the empty and abandoned swimming pools. Now a person can't really even get in to the area it used to be because of the gated condos or apts. An interesting piece of history!
I remember Happy Jack's very well! We lived right next to it, by the old "Foothill Dairy" I remember the owner was very nice, his face was disfigured, I was told it was from a shotgun blast while he was cleaning his gun. I also remember the huge old Pet Store on Azusa ave. They had monkeys, and a wide variety of pets. It burned down to the ground, with all the animals inside (sad day.) The Lucky Lager Brewery, provided a lot of jobs for the locals, I loved driving by and smelling the hops cooking. Azusa was a great small town! Great memories. Also one of the very first In & Out hamburger stands, was on Foothill Blvd.Anyone from old Azusa? write to me, I now live in Texas.
I lived in Azusa in the mid-fifties, lot's of great memories.
July 31, 2012 at 10:48 pm
I celebrated my 10th birthday at the Azusa Rainbow Angling Club with my Mom and Dad and also shared our dinner with the celebration team from JJ Agajanian's stock car race at the Pomona fairgrounds. It was Oct. 12, 1952. I remember Roy Maypole of KTTV was there. I had to kiss all the women. I also got a signed pit pass. They bought our dinner and Dad bought a round of drinks.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act means sweeping changes in healthcare especially for those who have not been able to afford health insurance. A statewide coalition is expanding its reach into Lake Charles to try to educate more people about what it all means. It's called the Louisiana Healthcare Education Coalition.Brian Keller is senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana.
"The biggest changes in 50 years in the healthcare industry are getting ready to come upon us. Oct. 1, exchanges and market places are going to be opening up online and they are the most significant changes that have hit the healthcare industry in ages," said Keller. So, how do people figure what it means for them?
Keller suggests those without health insurance go talk to somebody knowledgeable before Oct. 1. He said they should be asking themselves, "Do I want health insurance if I don't have it, what's my opportunity to purchase it, what's it going to cost me? Ten-one is really when the light switch goes on. Everybody can see those exact plans, those exact rates. Shopping for health insurance is a lot more complicated than renting a hotel room or renting a car, so the federal government is training agents and brokers to be certified to sell these subsidy eligible products to make sure they're knowledgeable."
Keller said once the insurance marketplace is online, people will be able to get good, hard numbers for their situation.
"I have a family of x. I have this amount of money. Am I eligible for financial help and, if so, what will it cost me to get Plan A, Plan B, Plan C? And they'll be able to look at details, hard numbers, and that all happens ten-one. So, the goal before ten-one is to get people to at least start thinking about what applies to me, what doesn't," said Keller.
The coalition also wants to educate on the need for healthcare access and the importance of taking care of one's personal wellness. Dr. Rodney Wise is the medical director for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana."When individuals are armed with the tools to invest in their own healthcare and wellness, the outcomes are measurable and meaningful. Healthy people stay healthier. Health-related behavior changes to reduce risk and those with chronic health conditions receive the right care at the right time," said Wise.Coalition officials say more people than ever will qualify for free or low cost health insurance because of the new law.

2nd-Degree Murder Charge Dropped Against Lawyer in Pharmacy Parking Lot 'Road Rage' Incident
Posted Nov 21, 2011 7:36 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A second-degree murder case has been dropped against Arizona criminal defense attorney David Appleton, 59. He was charged earlier this month in the fatal shooting of another motorist in a pharmacy parking lot, in what has been reported as a road-rage incident.
"We've asked the Scottsdale Police Department for some additional investigation before making a final charging decision," a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office tells the Phoenix New Times' Valley Fever blog.
However, Appleton's attorney, Richard Gierloff, says he expects his client to be exonerated concerning what Gierloff describes as "clearly a justifiable use of force."
The Arizona Republic also has a story.
Appleton is a former president of the Phoenix Trial Lawyers Association.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Sr. Mary Odile Cahoon in my short time here, but I certainly knew who she was. Her legacy is everywhere.
Sr. Mary O. graduated from St. Scholastica in 1951 and started in the Biology department in 1954. She retired as Senior Vice President 50 years later in 2004. In the interim, Sr. Mary O. served as chair of the Biology Department, chair of the Natural Sciences Division, director of the Ireland program, Academic Dean and Dean of the College. She was critical in the construction of the Science Center and founded the first study abroad program at St. Scholastica.
Before her administrative work with the College, however, she was a biologist. It is in this capacity that she became one of the first two women to winter over at Antarctica's McMurdo Station. During the long, cold, darkness of the antarctic winter, she and her colleague conducted research on the metabolism of marine life in the antarctic oceans (pdf).
Here's her description of McMurdo Station, from the May 1, 1974 issue of Times Magazine:
McMurdo is a "town" of about 100 buildings -- yes, all above ground. In fact, there isn't any snow on the ground here at the moment. You can find ice if you walk a few feet but the "roads" in town are clear -- and dusty. This is a very advanced civilization with flush toilets and showers. There is a water shortage, however, and everyone is supposed to conserve. The buildings range from a huge one that houses the mess, ship's store, living quarters for some uncertain number and recreational facilities; to small buildings with canvas walls, called Jamesways. Movies are shown in four different locations every night. So far, I haven't gone to any. With broad daylight, it still seems like working hours after dinner.
Sr. Mary Odile Cahoon passed away on October 2, 2011. Sr. Mary Odile truly gave her best to St. Scholastica and for that we owe her our sincerest thanks.

Vitamin C as Nature Provides.
Although healers and scientists as far back as Hippocrates knew that fresh vegetables and fruits were important for health' it wasn't until the 1930s that vitamin C or ascorbic acid was discovered and its far-reaching benefits understood. Since then' vitamin C's importance has been established: it is available as ascorbic acid in pills' powders' drinks' tablets' and crystals.
But only in the past decade have we understood the importance of obtaining vitamin C from plants and food' rather than only from purified ascorbic acid. This natural vitamin C - called the vitamin C complex - includes ascorbic acid but it also contains a wide array of nutrients like bioflavonoids' ascorbigen' rutin' hesperidin' choline' vitamin K tyrosinase and organically bound copper. According to the vitamin C pioneers Dr. Royal Lee and Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi' ascorbic acid is the outer shell of the naturally occurring vitamin C Complex.
Planetary Herbals True To Nature C is the vitamin C that nature has provided all along.
Life on the High C's:
Appreciation of the benefits of vitamin C began in the 1700s - long before vitamin C was even discovered. It was a time when the British navy traversed the world' exploring the far reaches of the globe and protecting colonies and business interests. The British East India Company filled the country's coffers with gold' yet many sailors got sick or died on long ocean yoyages' from what we now know as a lack of vitamin C. English sailors had diets of ale or cider' dried biscuits' and salted pork.
In 1747' James Lind' a British Royal Navy surgeon' while at sea' provided some crew members with two oranges and one lemon per day' while the others continued with cider. He noted the results and published his findings. It was the first recorded' conclusive study showing the benefits of citrus in preventing many illnesses. Within a few years' limes (then cheaper and more available than lemons or oranges) became standard issue on sea voyages' thus began the term "limeys" as a nickname for British sailors.
Almost all plants and animals on earth manufacture their own vitamin C as a natural part of their metabolic processes. But primates' including humans' are among the few animals that are an exception; we must obtain vitamin C from our diets. In ancient times' this was no problem; humans obtained sufficient vitamin C directly from food: fresh meat (particularly organs)' raw fruits and vegetables' berries' and nuts. However' with civilization came domestication' food storage' and diets further and further away from natural sources of nutrients. Ever since' humans have suffered from various levels of vitamin C deficiencies.
Vibrant compound:
Most fruits and vegetables contain some ascorbic acid. True To Nature C consists of natural ingredients that not only contain ascorbic acid' but further deliver the micronutrients necessary for the full benefits of Vitamin C Complex.
Among the ingredients are:
1) Acerola cherry (Malpighia emarginata): A native of Central and South America' this plant contains ascorbic acid and several polyphenols such as cyaniding' pelargonidin' and quercitrin' all of which possess strong antioxidant
2) Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia): A plant from Peru' camu camu has numerous anthocyanins and ellagic acids' along with ascorbic acid' and many consume it as a tonic for blood' tissue' and joint health.
3) Amla (Emblica officinalis): Amla is an Indian fruit that has been used for centuries in the Ayurvedic health tradition. It has many uses' including organ health' blood health' and heart health.
4) Rose hips (rosa canina): A virtual goldmine of nutrients' rose hips contain ascorbic acid' carotenoids' catechins' flavonoids' ceucoanthocyanins' pectins' and polyphenols.
5) True To Nature C also includes cabbage powder' elderberries' parsley leaf' cranberry' lecithin' grapeseed extract' and bilberry.

This is a FanPost inspired by My. Brian Galiford and within good reason it actually laments the fact that Buddy Nix got our 2010 9th overall Pick right.
Facts that point to this:
1.) We had absolutly no chance at Sam Bradford, we couldn't have in any way shape or form gotten that pick from St. Louis so before we try to make that arguement lets just put it to bed.
2.) Suh has been great and again we had no chance of getting this pick either, Detroit made a commitment to their defense this offseason and no way were they going to give up the chance to get Suh, Mccoy has been nothing special in Tampa but he hasnt been a lame duck either, and if there was a trade partner other then Seattle it was this pick but who do you take if we do make that Trade?
3.) Trent Williams and his linemates have given up 11 sacks over 5 games, thats not good, thats not good at all.Washington has the 25th overall rushing attack with one of the greatest running head coaches to ever coach football, something tells me Trent Williams might not be as good as expected.
4.) I cant say one bad thing about Eric Berry and I think kansas City's improved defense speaks for itself. But of all the positions available had Buddy Nix drafted a Safety he would have taken way more heat for taking Safety then he would have for taking a running back.
5.) Seattle which would have been trade partner number 1 for sure took Russel Okung and Earl Thomas, the safety pick again comes into play and Seattle is almost as offensivley challanged as Buffalo, and they have given up 9 sacks which is 2 better the Washington but still isnt very good, okung for what its worth though does look a little better then Williams(after 5 games) and if I was gunna knock Buddy its that he didnt trade for this pick.
6.) Joe Haden is next and for Buddy to have traded with Cleveland people would have said why, but I'll tell you why we could have taken McClain if we did this but we didn't and I can live that because Haden was a reach by Cleveland and I can live with buddy not taking another CB in the draft.
7.) Oh Rolando McClain the guy that got away I firmly believe if McClain had fallen we would have taken him and with very good reason this kid is for real and Man do I wish we had him on Buffalo, but oakland got him and trading to move up 1 pick makes no sense and Im sure Oakland knew from day 1 they were gunna take McClain.
8.) As for trading down, who do we trade down for?
A. Davis has looked awful, Matthews Got hurt (Imagine we passed on Spiller and took Matthews, WOW), Graham is hurt, Pierre Paul hasn't seen the field very much (with good reason), Morgan is hurt, Buluga is on the bench and cant beat out a not very good veteran for the spot, Dan Williams is what he is fat slow and not getting the job done in Arizona and the list goes on.
The players that we could have took that I would be ok with Dez Bryant ( Baggage and Buddy would have taken a licking when he didnt want to sign in Buffalo),
Sean Witherspoon (I would have been really happy with this pick even though it would have been considered a reach at 9 and Atlanta was in no hurry to trade up)
Denver gave up a 2nd and a 3rd to take Tebow thats a steep price to pay for a kid who no one knows in gunna pan out, i would have never paid that much, especially to an AFC favorite.
and last but not least, what teams would have traded up to get the # 9 pick the only team I can think of is Detroit and we wouldn't have gotten a 1st round pick for this year and what would we have all said way to go Buddy trading away our future after you said we build through the draft.
So for a the bad comments Buddy gets he got this 1 right and if he continues to get his 1st round draft picks right we will be allright its the picks after the 1st round that seperates good teams from bad ones.
And just to note what inspired this rant, all the carolina fans talking about how bad Clausen is and all the 49er fans complaining about there shotty line and how bad Alex Smith is.

PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) - The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota has for years attracted journalists and activists eager to share the plight of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
The Connecticut-sized reservation is home to some of the poorest counties in America, alcoholism is rampant and the life expectancy for tribal members is the shortest in North America except for Haiti.
That and a recently dismissed lawsuit against several beer makers and beer stores filed by the tribe have ratcheted up the attention paid to the reservation.
But some Oglala Sioux tribal members both on and off the reservation think the stories are exploitative, with too little emphasis on the people who are working every day to try to make a difference.

Bob Gretz detailed a couple of mental mistakes by Jamaal Charles. One was throwing the ball at a defender because he had been hit pretty hard in a minimal contact drill. The other was running out of bounds when the offense was trying to run out the clock in a 'four-minute offense'. I can forgive both of these as long as he understands what's going on in a game - the level of frustration in training camp, I would imagine, is higher than that in a game.
KCChiefs.com has a schedule of a typical practice for the Chiefs. Check it out - they've got everything scheduled down to the minute.
C.E. Wendler over at WPI was shocked to see different formations, fakes and bootlegs in the game against the Bears last Thursday.
Do you think Derrick Johnson is strong? From UW-RF:
The linebackers started their drills on the five-man sled. Linebacker Derrick Johnson was the first man up, and on the second sled, Johnson broke the pad off the metal support. His teammates cheered, but Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Coach Gunther Cunningham simply moved the group to the hanging dummy and said, "you can break everything we've got. We ain't quitting."
I really hope we get to see the four minute offense out on the field quite often:
"(The situation was) 3:58 left, ball on the minus 19-yard line, they (the Chiefs offense) were winning the game, winning by two and the defense has three timeouts. Basically in that scenario, what you've got to do is you've got to run nine plays. And what the defense has to do is call their timeouts with the two-minute in there. It's the first time we did it, and we learned something from it."

Those A27 traffic jams have to ease
12:17pm Tuesday 26th August 2008 in Comment and Analysis
A stretch of the A27 between Brighton and Worthing could become as congested as the M25 by 2016, according to the Highways Agency. So what is the real cost of doing nothing on the A27?
Alistair Smith, chief executive of West Sussex Economic Partnership tells The Argus that business will continue to suffer if nothing is done.
The recent headline "A27 – worse than the M25" was smart journalism in catching attention.
But, sadly, it also reflects a genuine fear among businesses and economic developers that serious hopes of creating longterm sustainable economic growth on the coast could be dashed without improvements to this major trunk route.
There has been a 30-year war of words about the A27 and, if we don't get our act together, it could end up being a hundred years war.
The fact of life is that the A27 is letting the coastal economy down.
I speak to businesses all the time and they say the congestion is a big threat.
Most want to stay on the coast, with all its advantage of quality of life and value, but if nothing much happens, there is a danger of energy being sucked out of them.
Their message has been very clear – the A27 is forcing them to consider moving away.
But it's not only the threat of losing the companies here – it's also mighty hard to attract new investment in a highly competitive global economy.
West Sussex does not enjoy the opportunities other areas of the country do, in being able to to offer large subsidies to incoming companies. It has to compete without incentives and the state of the transport infrastructure means it's a bit like competing with one hand tied behind one's back.
Imagine a potential investor travelling to Worthing via the M23/A23, cruising around Brighton on the A27 before reaching the traffic lights at the Sussex Pad. From there, it can be a long crawl through Lancing and Sompting before joining the Lyons Farm queue. (How did this large retail development obtain approval?) With the patience of our potential new employer ticking away and frustration growing, he or she could be forgiven for deciding not to invest in the town despite its desperate need for new investment. Another inescapable fear is the increased housing for the coast projected in the South East Plan.
We have consistently argued that in the hurry for houses, important as that is, local authorities must ensure that there is sufficient employment space so that there are new jobs for the new households.
Otherwise there could be a vicious circle of thousands of people who cannot get jobs because there are insufficient businesses, deterred by poor infrastructure, causing massive out-commuting – making the whole situation worse.
The coast desperately needs investment in the emerging regeneration schemes but as long as we delay and argue about transport solutions, a more prosperous coastal economy will be but a distant dream.
We need to get all the partners together to look at the whole problem. The great sadness in all of this is that while we've been talking about it for so long, possible solutions have drifted away.
The whole climate of the infrastructure debate has changed – not only have road building costs grown unimaginably but we now have a whole new environmental agenda to address.
So what should the priorities be for this partnership?
First let's make sure the improvements at Chichester and at Arundel are progressed by inclusion in the region's transport programme to 2018. Then we should look at every aspect of the Worthing problem and agree a compelling solution to be put forward by the public sector collectively and fully supported by the business community.
We must avoid squabbling between ourselves, as this has been the downfall of all previous efforts to resolve this problem.
At the same time we ought to try to work out how the train could take some of the strain.
The coastal service is good for short journeys but with so many stations progress is slow. What about some passing places to speed things up? And, with the number of trains on the line set to increase, waiting at the many level crossings could become interminable. One case I heard of suggested a level crossing was closed 25 minutes in a single hour – so having more trains could effectively close some main roads unless the technology can keep the gates open longer. Next, we should provide more parking at stations and try to get bus services to link. We also need a complete rethink on bus services to meet future needs – they need to be fast, reliable and not stuck in jams. The Crawley Fastway would be a good model. Lastly – and I know this isn't always popular – but we do all have to use our cars less if we possibly can.
Improvements to the A27 and investment in public transport could bring success but only if there is an all-party effort to cut out unnecessary car journeys.
Should the Highways Agency make improvement work on the A27 a priority? Tell us your view below.

Why? Drivers have a RIGHT to drive their vehicle whenever and wherever on the public road system they choose because they pay for it. Road tax, tax on petrol etc etc. All this talk of restricting use of vehicles is short sighted and unnecessary. There are very few "unnecessary journeys" - most people don't just get in the car for the hell of it - they have somewhere to go and a reason to do so!!
The short sightedness of Brighton & Hove Bourough Council with regards to private vehicle access to Brighton has resulted in a drop in the number of visitors to the area - who wants to sit in a huge traffic jame to get here and then find there is nowhere to park! The pathetic Park and Ride scheme from Withdean is underused because people want to use their own cars to go about their daily business. Please get over this idea that people will stop using their own cars!!

vements over the years. The country is littered with bridges that go nowhere (e.g.north end M23) cuttings that end in banks (A27 @ Arundel) roundabouts with exits that were never completed, motorways and dual carriageways that should have connected to something but didnt.
Its not all down the current eco-warriors who see this as concreting over England's green and pleasant land. (and they have a point). But successive governments have done nothing about it. The whole motorway system is London centric. Whereas most heavy goods travels from the ports to most parts of the country. Its nearly all forced to go via London with the result that the M25 is a nightmare.
Everyone talks the talk about public transport but wheres the action. If they cant even reinstate 6 miles of railway between Lewes and Uckfield when its easy, what hope is there?
A27 improvements - don't hold your breath. The tree protestors will have died of old-age before anything happens.

St Tim of Sussex says...
You don't know what you are saying!
We regularly sit in queues with Fastway busses.. they are not answer. They make the problem worse as they are too big for many of the routes ! They cause jams on corners and can't manouvre well. They have hit many lamposts and demolished a house in Crawley !!
They have some patches of guided kerb like a tram - but the cost of these was huge, the inconvenience whilst changing the roads lasted many years and much of it was built wrong so isn't used !!!
It went 8million pounds over budget too ! still like the idea ?
The answer is to lift people off the roads - elevated tramways running in a constant loop. electric powered (from sea, sun or wind I care not) with stations in estates so people don't use their cars at all - Brighton to Worthing or like spokes of a wheel with Chichester at the centre. It would lessen traffic on the A27, become a tourist feature too.. certainly speeding the journey and removing the stress of driving - people can even work on computers whilst on it!
Beware the Farceway !

Who wrote this nonsense? It's worse than the M25 RIGHT NOW! I had to travel from Brighton to Fareham for a week recently, and it takes 2 hours to travel 50 miles! The M25 moves faster than that.
And that wasn't even in the rush hour. God knows how long it takes then.
We need to get it sorted right now - not in 8 years time. It won't need doing then, because nobody will be able to use the A27 at all as it will be totally gridlocked.
And yes, I do remember that half wit Terrance Higgens...

The Rise of One-Downmanship
When did complaining become a competitive sport?
The cocktail party was crowded, as every self-respecting cocktail party should be. I was therefore making depressingly slow progress in my foray to the bar, during which I overheard the following conversation:
"So how are you doing these days?" asked one man, sipping his drink.
"It's been pretty tough. And you guys?" said another man. He was wearing a wine-colored bow tie. (It's a fact that parties on Park Avenue contain more bow ties per capita than parties in any other neighborhood.)
"Horrible," replied the first. "We haven't had any profits in two months and now our health insurance went up again."
"You think that's bad," said Mr. Bow Tie. "I lost my job nine months ago; I'm losing my insurance altogether."
"Jesus, sorry to hear that. Well, at least you don't have that terrible commute to New Jersey anymore. I've been having to go there to visit my sick aunt and it takes forever."
Mr. Bow Tie nodded eagerly. "I wish my relatives were in New Jersey. I've been traveling to Philadelphia every weekend to take care of my mother-in-law. Try that for a couple of months."
Hello? I thought. What is wrong with this picture? Exactly when did complaining become a competitive sport? What happened to bragging about fabulous Caribbean vacations, or the perfect tennis game? When did one-upmanship become one-downmanship?
New York City has always engendered a competitive spirit. It's almost as if in order to compensate for how expensive and hard it is to live here, we have to believe everything—including people who move here—is the best, the biggest, the most, the ultimate. Moreover, to survive, you needed to present a positive image; you were always supposed to project confidence. Now it seems we are taking the opposite tack. Ten years ago, when you heard people talking about real estate, it was usually about a killing they made. Now you are more likely to hear them say, "We bought our apartment at the height of the market; man, I really took a bath." Instead of smug talk about the success of financial investments, now it's a conversation about who has more credit card debt. And it's not just conversations about financial matters. I hear people complaining about relationships, health, the weather—even their kids. Rather than "My Johnny aced the SATs, we are so proud," parents these days are more likely to complain, "For a kid who aced the SATs, my Johnny is certainly having trouble getting into the college of his choice. It's a nightmare."
Although more and more people seem to be in competition about how bad their lives are—instead of how good—it's still about winning. You may be winning the Booby Prize, but it's still a prize. As long as your case is the most extreme, you still get to feel superior. If you are the most miserable, the poorest, the unluckiest, that makes you the most important, most impressive person in the conversation.
It's not surprising that people should complain during a Recession. If one-downmanship is a bellwether of the economy, perhaps we will know we are in economic recovery when we once again start bragging about our golf scores and country weekends.
But is one-downmanship a symptom of the state of our economy, or is it a symptom of the state of the economy experienced by a heretofore spoiled population? Have we all become whiners and crybabies? Maybe we've discovered that it feels better to be pitied than envied, and that vying for the bottom spot seems less egotistical than seeking praise. I can't help wondering if social gatherings underwent this kind of conversational transformation during the Depression. I'm certain people talked about their troubles, but did they compete about them quite as much as we do now?
Right before I left the Park Avenue party, I happened to overhear the same two men, still tête-à-tête:
"Well, I've got to head out—I really should have left 10 minutes ago," said Mr. Bow Tie.
The other man scoffed. "Ten minutes?! I was expected home two hours ago!"

It was ballet at its best when the Appalachian Ballet Company
presented their third annual Bluejeans and Ballet recently.
But artistic director Amy Moore Morton also had her usual tricks up her sleeve, mixing what would be expected at a ballet with what no one would expect.
Like the entire company bopping on and off stage to the music of Little Richards "Hey Tutti."
Like dancers in overalls and homespun gingham in a piece set to
Mortons mothers book, "When Uncle Took the Fiddle."
Like State Rep. Doug Overbey and local personality David Dwyer in Maryville College cheerleader uniforms as part of a football-themed ballet called "Contenders?"
Yes, even the last one was part of the fun of Bluejeans and Ballet.
The Thursday night performance began with a dinner outside the theater, complete with silent auction and music by Steve Kaufman. The ballet was repeated Sunday.
The company is now hard at work on the upcoming performances of "Nutcracker," which will be Dec. 1-3 at the Civic Auditorium in Knoxville.

Using Biblical astronomy, another reason to watch November 8, 2010 from Rapture in the Air:
"The Sun's path along the elliptic is about to leave the constellation of Virgo in a few days (Nov 1st or 2nd) and enter the constellation of Libra (the Scales).
On it's course the Sun will conjunct with Zubenelgenubi a star in the constellation of Libra on November 8th 2010.
Libra contains three bright stars whose names supply us with the whole matter. The brightest a (in the lower scale), is named Zuben al Genubi, which means the purchase, or price which is deficient. This points to the fact that man has been utterly ruined. He is "weighed in the balances and found wanting."
Jesus came for the purpose of Redemption! He paid the price which covers! Hence in the upper scale we have another bright star with this very name Zuben al Chemali--THE PRICE WHICH COVERS! Praised be God! "They sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed...to God by thy blood" (Rev 5:9)."
(From The Witness of the Stars by E. W. Bullinger)"

One could argue (successfully) that you could point your finger randomly at a map of Italy and end up in a suitable place for a romantic holiday. Still, there are some destinations in this beautiful country that lend themselves especially well to honeymoons or other romance-laced vacations, and no matter what your definition of "romantic" is, Italy has something for everyone. Here are some of the most romantic destinations in Italy.
Planning a Trip? Browse Viator's Italy travel recommendations. Or book a private guide in Italy for a customized tour!
Venice is quintessentially romantic, with the only "must-do" on anyone's list being "meander aimlessly and get thoroughly lost." What better time to do that than when you're linked arm-in-arm with your sweetheart? Venice encourages us to slow down and savor what's around us, and that includes a loved one. Not to mention the fact that a gondola ride at dusk through the city's narrow canals might just be one of those romantic hours you talk about for the rest of your life.
Lake Como
The towns that ring Lake Como are, like Venice, tailor-made for slowing down. There's nothing much to do except wander, shop, and eat, unless you're feeling really active, in which case you can go on one of the great hikes that wind through the mountains around the lake. Even if you do that, however, you still return to a postcard-perfect lake, a picturesque town, and countless cozy cafes for that post-hike dinner reward.
Amalfi Coast
The colorful Amalfi Coast has been a popular destination for the rich, famous, and honeymooners for ages and with good reason. The summer months lend themselves beautifully to the lifestyle that's all but required along the coast—namely, lying on the beach until you can't stand it anymore, cooling off in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and filling your belly with the day's fresh fish. Take a day trip to a nearby island to explore, or better yet, plan to spend a night for even more romance.
There are plenty of towns in Tuscany that deliver historic charm for romantic vacationers, but Lucca is a bit less popular with visitors than cities like Siena or Cortona. Lucca boasts a pretty historic center, complete with all those cobblestone alleys that always seem more perfect when you're holding someone's hand, as well as an intact city wall that's wide enough to now be a grand boulevard for walking and cycling.
For the intrepid honeymooners, Sicily is an excellent romantic destination. Sure, you'll need to be more comfortable speaking Italian than you would in more touristy Rome, but you'll be rewarded with lower prices, smaller tourist crowds, and spectacular beaches. Summers do get crowded with other Italians, especially in July and August when they all take to the seaside, but the shoulder seasons are often warm enough to spend the day on the beach and still enjoy the beauty of the cities in the evenings.
Tuscany gets all the press, but its neighbor region of Umbria has all the things that make Tuscany romantic—historic hill towns, cobbled streets, sweeping views—without the crushing tourist crowds. Umbria's hilltop capital city of Perugia is big enough to have everything you'd need for a trip, and it's still small enough to be ideal for romantic strolls in the evenings. A bonus for October visitors is the annual EuroChocolate festival that takes over the entire city.

WASHINGTON — The White House insisted Monday that President Barack Obama was determined to close Guantanamo Bay, despite failing to do so by the war on terror camp's 10th anniversary this week.
Obama declared within a few hours of taking office in January 2009 that he would shutter the camp within a year, saying it was used as a recruiting tool for terrorists, and detrimental to US national security.
But in the face of deep opposition in Congress to moving inmates to the US mainland and over the idea of holding civil trials for key Al-Qaeda suspects, Obama has failed to live up to his vow.
"The commitment that the president has to closing Guantanamo Bay is as firm today as it was during the (2008) campaign," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
"We are all are aware of the obstacles to getting that done as quickly as the president wanted to get it done … but the president's commitment hasn't changed at all."
Carney said that Obama, top national security officials and senior members of the military still believed that closing Guantanamo was in US interests.
"We will continue to abide by that commitment and work towards its fulfillment," he said.
Given staunch opposition to closing the camp at the US base in southeastern Cuba, and pressures of election year politics, there does not appear to be a viable route to closing Guantanamo in the near future.
Several key planners of the September 11 attacks in 2001 are among 171 prisoners still languishing at the camp and are awaiting military tribunals there.
The US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba accepted its first prisoners from the newly drawn battlefields of the global war on terror on January 11, 2002.

When you go to the hospital you know there is going to be around-the-clock medical care for you. There is also someone on staff and on-call 24/7 armed with the good book, a comforting prayer and a listening ear.
Here's more on the Avera McKennan Chaplaincy Service and their Ministry of Presence.
Ruth Engesmoe from Hendricks, MN is recovering from knee replacement surgery. While she's here at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, she has asked for the spiritual guidance of Ordained Pastor LaRue Jundt (although he goes by just LaRue).
LaRue has been serving at Avera McKennan for 16 years and is one of 10 people of all different denominations in the Chaplaincy Services at Avera McKennan. Each pastor or priest knows a majority of the time the people who end up at the hospital aren't here by choice so their role turns to crisis ministry.
LaRue says, "So what we find during those times is people really realize there has to be more. When they're told their child was killed in a motor vehicle collision or from a SIDS death or whatever it may be. Children for me is still the hardest after all these years, the death of a child. I see our role as chaplains to come along side."
LaRue says the most important ministry they can do is the ministry of presence that includes being there for the patients as well as the staff.
LaRue says, "When I relate back to the times of crisis in my own life Nancy, I realize I wasn't thinking clearly at that time. I needed someone to take charge. Even if that's making a phone call, a hand on a shoulder, just being there. Being present. Sometimes we don't have the words because we don't always understand why things happen the way they do. Only god does. So many times we get a note or a card that said thank you for being there. And I think back and all I did was walk with them. "
Even if he doesn't always have the words, he has faith and that can be the comfort people need in a time of great pain.
LaRue says the chaplain services are never forced on anyone.... they always ask first and never try to replace the patient or families regular minister. They also minister at the Avera Behavior Health Center and the Dougherty Hospice House.

Here are some of my dad's siblings on their own holiday. They would have travelled south from Belfast city where at one time all twelve kids and their mother and father lived in an end row house on Rodney Drive, near the Falls Road. Imagine how excited they must have been come summer to get to visit their grandparents in the country. This boat is likely a "currach" at Polland's quarry in the Mountains of Mourne, up from Annalong (if I've got it right - please correct me someone from my clan, if you know).

Tragically, we lost the beloved founder of our Facebook family-clan page here, in June of this year when he dove in to rescue a young man who was in distress. Both of them drowned. Colin Polland was just 39. He was my second cousin.
It is a beautiful place tinged with great sadness and will forever recall the memory of a very gentle soul we all respected and admired.
As always, I invite you to join us at Sepia Saturday by simply clicking the image below:


text: @John, unfortunately, Terri was brain dead and her brain had shrunk so much, with fluid in her brain (you can google the scans of her brain from the autopsy)...there was no way she would wake up. However, none of that negates his actions. Her parents should have been her legal guardian. She wouldn't ever wake up, but they were willing to care for her and he wanted to move on. Which he had. Very sad story, one I had followed since the fight began to be more publicized. I will never forget this story. It was terribly saddening and horrific in my mind. He should have legally let her go.

losing class when using jquery reorder
When I use jquery's sortable functionality - when an item is moved, the one which is "shoved" out of the way or sometimes the above it, looses any class names I have attached to it.
I've tried a few hacks to try and get them back, none of which seem to help.
I was wondering if there was a way to switch this of, as whilst it removes them, it adds a jquery ui class?
The code ive used is the example on the jquery site, I just have my own styles attached to the li items. (ive attached a before and after of the list items)
