Former Playmate Pamela Anderson, who is 43 years old now and a mother of two, poses for the cover of Playboy magazine once again. The "Baywatch" star is featured on the front page of the adult printed publication for its January 2011 issue with an accompanying 8-page nude pictorial.
It reportedly marks Anderson's 13th time of gracing the Playboy cover, more than anyone else in the magazine's 57-year history. She first landed the job as the mag's cover girl in 1989. This time, she is seen wearing a black corset dress, holding up her hands to her hair and looking straight to the camera while standing sideways.
She is channeling Anita Ekberg's character in 1960 movie "La Dolce Vita". Back in October, Hugh Hefner wrote on Twitter, hinting about the cover "Pamela Anderson is in the Mansion swimming pool, posing for the January cover in a tribute to 'La Dolce Vita'."
In the article, Anderson turns into a poet, penning a poem called "Musings from the bed of Pamela". She writes, "Our best isn't good enough -- right now our eyes are far-reaching -- Please let's show the good in us -- The brilliance -- The wonderful -- It's abundant -- it's just not tapped as it should be."
She also gets political, complaining that "all the negative ads run by our politicians" and suggesting them to "put that money to good use" instead. She additionally shows her support for President Barack Obama, "So many are with you. . . I can think of many positive parts of now. . . That you spearheaded."

Re: umbrella or softbox for travelling?
In reply to littlegrumpy • Apr 11, 2013
I like softboxes in the studio, but umbrellas in the field. It takes about five seconds to set up or tear down an umbrella, plus I just stuff it in with the stands. If outdoors, I do anchor the stand, but you have to do that with a softbox, too.

IRVING (CBS 11 NEWS) – 100 students at Nimitz High School in Irving were tested for tuberculosis Wednesday.
The group of students was offered the free testing because they may have been exposed to TB when they shared a class last spring with a student recently diagnosed with the contagious disease.
That student, who has not been identified, began showing symptoms late this summer. He or she is being treated, and is expected to be fine.
Members of the Dallas County Department of Health and Human Services conducted the skin tests at the school, and will be back on Friday to look at the results.
If enough show positive signs, the health department will expand its investigation and offer those students preventative medicine.
Medical Director Dr. Garry Woo, of the health department's TB Clinic, says they see about 40-60 people on any given day.
But in all of Dallas County, only 180 people were diagnosed with TB in 2012.
"It's uncommon unless your body is weak or your immune system is compromised," Dr. Woo said.
Dr. Woo says it will be tough to determine how the student contracted TB in the first place. "It's unlikely. Certainly it's less than a 50 percent chance. We haven't found other cases of TB In the family," Dr. Woo said.
Even though their children weren't one of those exposed, a few parents of Nimitz students did go to the health department for testing.
"I saw the news about the TB at Nimitz High School, so we decided to be safe and take my niece up here and have her tested," said Scotty Jones.
Jones's niece attends the high school.
"There's other kids in the house. You don't want to spread to everyone else. It can be nothing, but we take our health seriously," Jones said.

We bought 2 queens to use in our kids rooms and elimanated their chest of drawers. This is a great design for all the new small spaces out there today. You cannot make your own for the price and time it takes to receive and assemble one of these beds. The drawer material is far superior to any competition in this price range so the bottoms won't fall out.
The bed looked nice in the picture and the price was perfect. But once the bed was assembled it did not look like the picture, and it's quality and worth was only 2/3rd's...Read complete review
The bed looked nice in the picture and the price was perfect. But once the bed was assembled it did not look like the picture, and it's quality and worth was only 2/3rd's of the actual price. I got it for myself, but I ended up putting it in the guest room because the bed was insulting to my room.

Paypal launches a chip and PIN service called Paypal Here
Allows small businesses to accept Paypal payments as well as card transactions
ONLINE PAYMENTS SERVICE Paypal launched a Chip and PIN service for businesses today that allows them to accept Paypal credit as well as transactions from credit and debit cards.
Dubbed Paypal Here, the pocket-sized handheld device that Paypal calls a "game changer for small businesses" will launch sometime this summer. Paypal hasn't announced how much it will cost yet, but it did say that it understands "the device will be under £100 to buy".
Paypal claims that following a good reception in the US its new Paypal Here service will benefit businesses in the UK by "saving them the hassle of taking cash and cheques to the bank" and helping them "make the most of connected commerce". However, in what is perhaps a downside for customers, Paypal said that the device will take a transaction fee of "less than [three] percent" from customers that use it.
"Paypal Here is a complete payment solution that allows any business to simply and securely accept Paypal, credit and debit card payments, log cash and cheques, even send invoices and receipts so they never miss a sale," Paypal said.
"There's no contract or on-going fees, just the initial competitive purchase price and a small fee for each transaction."
Paypal Here will be available to select UK businesses over the coming months before it fully launches in the UK this summer. The chip and PIN version will be available in other relevant markets after the UK launch.
But with many users experiencing issues with Paypal in January, where a payments glitch resulted in customers' payments being taken multiple times but not paid, the loss of trust in the service as well as the transaction fee might be too great for Paypal Here to see real success.
Analyst firm Ovum seems to think that the UK is "the logical place to start" the Paypal Here service, since it is Paypal's second biggest market outside the US.
"Paypal has taken pains over the Paypal chip and pin device, which was designed and built in the UK and over a year in the making," Ovum principal analyst Eden Zoller said. "But it will come with a price tag and this will need to be competitive given [that] the solution is meant for small businesses."
As Zoller makes clear, the market for payment services is becoming increasingly competitive and Paypal Here is not the first of its kind in Europe, where iZettle, Payleven and mPowa have already launched.
"But Paypal has an advantage in being an established, trusted payment provider with a high profile global brand," he added. However, we're not entirely sure that we agree. µ

SDHC Card Failure in 5DIII ???
Was out in a snowstorm yesterday taking photos and my relatively new Lexar 32GB SDHC 600x card failed. It was snowing heavily, about 12 degrees (F) and I had been shooting for about 90 minutes. Got a message on the 5DIII screen saying cannot write to card, reformat or (something?). Removed and reinserted the card. No change. Had a plastic sleeve over the cam, and no snow or moisture I could see in the card compartment. The CF card continued to work just fine.
Later, at home, I inserted card into PC and was able to see the photos I had taken up until the failure point. Seems to work in camera fine now.
Has anyone heard of these cards failing in low temperature or high moisture conditions?
Oh, btw, I had an identical card in my 70D, which continued to work fine for hours, and I actually got a lot more snow on the 70D than the 5DIII

The Galapagos Islands is a fascinating place and one of the few tourist destinations in the world where you can marvel at wildlife. Surprisingly, Peru has a version of the place. Interested now are we?
According to WanderingTrader Peru, "Very close to Huacachina, this is where wildlife can be found in Peru outside of the Amazon. Commonly referred to as the Galapagos of Peru or a poor man's Galapagos, it is a great place to see unique marine animals in their wild habitat."
Paracas and Islas Ballestas have been nicknamed as "poor's" because compared to the real Galapagos Islands of Ecuador; it's cheaper and composed of only two islands.

The Mystery of the Missing DiMaggio World Series Rings Revived at Louisville Slugger Auction
Last week the New York Post reported that Hunt Auctions is offering Joe DiMaggio's 1951 World Series ring in its annual auction at the Hillerich & Bradsby Company in Louisville, Kentucky. According to the Post, the ring being offered by Hunt has stirred up a long-standing controversy over the alleged theft of most all of DiMaggio's World Series rings from a New York hotel room in the 1960s. DiMaggio was wearing his 1936 World Series ring at the time of the incident, however, the "Yankee Clipper" claimed that all of the other rings had vanished from the Lexington Hotel.
Hunt Auctions does not mention in its current lot description the existence of the controversial Halper-DiMaggio 1951 ring and note that has been the subject of several articles published in the New York Daily News and described in detail in the biography written by Richard Ben Cramer Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life.

"In the house, Barry showed Joe everything he had–like Joe's '51 World Series ring. Joe had traded that away to an L.A. hotelier, in exchange for lodging. Barry had bought it from that guy's son. Now, Barry offered to give the ring back to Joe. But Joe didn't want it. He signed a paper for Barry, affirming that was his ring."
Hmm. Nothing suspicious about that...
Wow. There's going to be a great book about Barry Halper someday, if it's not been written already.

MARKS -- The case against a man charged in the death of Clarksdale mayoral candidate Marco McMillian will be presented to a grand jury in Quitman County next year.
The circuit clerk's office said Friday that the next grand jury meets Jan. 27, 2014.
A judge in Coahoma County issued an order in August moving the case against Lawrence Reed to Quitman County, where McMillian was allegedly killed. Authorities say McMillian's body was dumped near the levee in Coahoma County in February, doused with gasoline and set on fire.
Reed has been charged with murder and has been held without bond since his arrest.
Prosecutors say phone records indicate McMillian and Reed knew each other before the aspiring politician's nude, battered body was found Feb. 27.

Gay votes may have been pivotal in Malta election
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
We just can't win for frickin losing!The same thing happened in America in 2000 with the Green Party Presidential campaign of Ralph Nader. Constituent splitting is the Conservatives best friend.
There is little doubt that the AD took some votes from the MLP. But the AP is not to blame. In a democracy, every one has the right to challenge the leading parties.What is significant, in my view, was the MLP's decision not to join the EU. Sadly, many gay men favoured the EU for no other reason but to escape the convent island. The MLP has now paid the price for its opposition and has lost much of the youth vote.And come on! Only 5% of Malta are gay. You must be joking! Homosexuality is "rampant" in Malta and not only among its priests. They simply think it will go away if they don't talk about it.I am disappointed the MGRM did not do more to defeat the Catholic government run by Catholics for Catholics.
"Generally considered to be MLP supporters, many decided to vote for the AD."From where did you get this? It is a well known fact that most AD voters are disgruntled Nationalist supporters. It is so obvious that even if you look at the votes AD managed to obtain you will realise that they performed poorly in the stauncly Labour Southern districts and did very well in the predominantly Northern Nationalist districts.Another thing which I would like to point out is that the Labour party is far from a gay friendly party. In the run up of the referendum campaign to join the EU, the Labour party tried to scare voters that by joining the EU Malta would be forced to accept liberal concepts such as divorce abortion and gay marriage.If you want to get to know more about Labour's spokesmen check out the ramblings of Labour MP Adrian Vassallo (unfortunately he got re-elected) and you realise who's the real 'liberal' party in Malta.

Conservative Pundit: Millions Will Flee America, Demand Secession Over Gay Marriage
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 6/4/2015 10:55 am
WorldNetDaily founder and editor Joseph Farah issued an emergency plea to governors today asking them to consider seceding from the union if the Supreme Court strikes down state bans on same-sex marriage.
"We need a Promised Land. We need an Exodus strategy," Farah wrote. "Are there any governors or legislatures out there among the 50 states willing to secede to offer a refuge for the God-fearing?"
If not, Farah says that foreign nations that prohibit same-sex marriage should prepare for "a pilgrimage by millions of Americans" fleeing marriage equality.
Will a U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring "same-sex marriage" a "right" warrant secession by some state willing and eager to reclaim America's Judeo-Christian heritage and foundation?
You know it's inevitable, right?
The fix is in. Two members of the Supreme Court have personally officiated at same-sex "marriages." I count three solid votes against it. The chances of reaching five are somewhere between slim and none.
I've heard some chatter about civil disobedience. That's all well and good. But I don't see much in the way of serious organization taking place.
What I do see is a lot of grass-roots concern. I know there are millions of Christians, Jews and others who would pull up stakes and move to another country that honored the institution of marriage as it was designed by God – a union between one man and one woman.
As Jesus said it: "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh."
Is there one state in 50 that would not only defy the coming abomination, but secede in response? The rewards could be great. I would certainly consider relocating. How about you?
The founders of this country found a place of refuge in America and shaped it into the greatest self-governing nation in the history of world. Just think what one state could do if it simply stuck to the principles that made this country great? Americans wouldn't have to cross an ocean to rediscover what brought most of our ancestors here. We could simply drive.
Are any states so inclined?
I haven't heard this question raised by anyone else. So I'm raising it now. We don't have much time before the nine high priests in black robes decide to follow Baal instead of the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
We need a Promised Land. We need an Exodus strategy.
If not a state, are there any nations in the world interested in a pilgrimage by millions of Americans?
And here's the second question: Are there any governors or legislatures out there among the 50 states willing to secede to offer a refuge for the God-fearing?

ZURICH, Switzerland — Talk about convenience. In an effort to make legal prostitution safer for johns and sex workers, and keep hookers out of the center of the city and residential neighborhoods, local Swiss authorities are set to launch drive-in sex chalets.
Nine garage-style structures in a former industrial zone will debut this month to the tune of £1.5 million. The love shacks will be open daily from early evening until 5 a.m.
Affectionately dubbed "sex boxes," the wooden drive-ins were approved by residents last November.
Patrons reportedly will drive in past a checkpoint and follow a marked route past a line of 40 hookers where they'll pick their favorite and negotiate a fee. Thecustomers can then do their thing viewing safe sex wall posters.
The sex workers are required to buy an evening "work ticket" for about £3.50, and they must register with a health insurer.
No pedestrians or motorcyclists will be allowed in the area, and each shed is equipped with panic alarms for both the johns and hookers.
Once opened, Zurich men will no longer be allowed to solicit sex workers outside the group of boxes or two other approved zones.
"We want to regulate prostitution because until now it was the law of the jungle," Welfare Department official Michael Herzig told The Telegraph.
"It was the pimps who decided the prices, for instance. We are trying to reach a situation which is better for the prostitutes themselves, for their health and security and also for people who live in Zurich," he added.

Indian scientist in US develops nanotech-based 'magic additive'
Imagine a "magic additive", which when added to engine oil, increases the fuel efficiency of your car by 35 to 50 per cent and cuts down on carbon emission by 90 per cent. Such an additive has already been successfully tested by Jay Narayan, a professor at the Department of Material Science and Engineering and director of the NSF Centre for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at USA's North Carolina University.
Calling the additive a perfect solution for the rising pollution in metros, Narayan said the formulation, based on nanotechnology, is waiting for a patent at the moment and will be launched in the American, Indian and Chinese markets within a year. Narayan is on a three-day visit to the IIT-K for the international conference on Metals and Alloys- Metallo 2007.

TC Electronic, a provider of digital signal processing and broadcast loudness control technologies, has announced the new AM6 plug-in meter for Pro Tools HD.
Together with TC Electronic's LM5D plug-in for Pro Tools HD, the two products combine to create the new Radar Meter Bundle for Pro Tools HD. The radar display provides a smooth upgrade for studios involved with audio production for broadcast, film and music from unsatisfactory peak level indicators to loudness-based metering.
Now, the new AM6 plug-in makes the highly efficient radar available for also controlling trailers and commercials in broadcast and cinema production. Measurements are based on Leq(M), and AM6 conforms to the TASA standard, which is used by authorities such as MPAA to certify theatrical trailers. Further, additional features include 5.1 true-peak metering, scalable timing and scalable resolution.
The new AM6 Radar Annoyance Meter for Pro Tools HD will be protected by the same iLok license as LM5D for Pro Tools HD, which means that existing users will be able to download and use the new AM6 Radar Annoyance Meter for free. This bundle covers any and all loudness metering needs in Pro Tools HD.

Following the retirement of Sylvia Verrinder as a Parish Councillor, a vacancy arose in the office of Vice-Chairman of the Angmering Parish Council. At the Parish Council meeting on Monday 13 June 2016, the Parish Council elected Councillor John Oldfield as Vice-Chairman of the Parish Council for the remainder of the 2016-17 Parish Council year.
An Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) has been purchased by the Parish Council and is sited on a wall outside their office in The Square near Woodies News. They are looking at the possibility of purchasing further defibrillators for siting at Palmer Road Recreation Ground and near Roundstone Level Crossing.
For residents information, there is also a defibrillator on the wall at the rear of the Village Hall - close to where the Monterey pine recently fell - and another on the wall at the front of the Community Centre on Bramley Green.
AEDs when used within the first 3-5 minutes of a person suffering a Sudden Cardiac Arrest can dramatically increase a victims chance of survival from currently what is currently less 5% to as much as 70% and higher with a defibrillator on the scene. AEDs were designed to be used by virtually anyone with little or no experience. The AED will guide you through the entire process until help has arrived and you should follow the visual & voice prompts of the AED. If the victim is not breathing, check the airway is clear then begin Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), i.e. rapid and uniterrupted chest compressions at a depth of 4-5cm. CPR should not be interrupted while the adhesive electrode pads of the AED are being applied.
Residents of Angmering should be aware that West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is proposing some significant changes to HWR sites which will impact on many households and also businesses in Angmering. See https://haveyoursay.westsussex.gov.uk/waste-…/…/consult_view for details.
They propose to:
a. Reduce the daily opening hours at sites.
b. Reduce the number of days some HWRSs are open each week.
c. Introduce charging for non-household waste disposal and no longer accept LGV, Tractor, Mobile Plant or any Commercial Vehicle tyres.
d. Cease the Mobile HWRS Service.
e. Restrict the access of trailers to those sites with "Large Vehicle Bays".
WSCC is carrying out an online consultation survey from the above webpage and local residents and businesses are urged to complete this survey straight away as it has only has another week to run. The deadline for responses is midnight Sunday 12 June 2016. WSCC is trying to push this through quietly so have given their proposals very little publicity.
Do let all your friends and relatives living in West Sussex know about these proposals and the online consultation survey.

A large Monterey pine tree on the southern side of Angmering Village Hall came down at shortly after 11am today (Monday 30 May) totally blocking The Thatchway to all traffic. It was extremely fortunate that nobody was passing by at the time and that it missed hitting the Village Hall and the electricity sub-station next to it, although it demolished part of the sub-station's fence. WSCC Highways Maintenance arrived early in the afternoon but clearing the tree and debris required heavy lifting gear.
About 3 hours later, contractors from Surrey arrived with heavy lifting equipment and, by 7pm, had cleared enough space for a vehicle to get through. It is believed that work will continue tomorrow (Tuesday) to clear the remaining debris. Well done to the contractors who thoughtfully created a little stool for the Village Hall as a memento of today's events.
It is estimated that the fallen tree was nearly 100 years old and therefore well into old age for this species of tree. Other Monterey pines of a similar age are located along Station Road and some on Ham Manor.

Angmering Traffic Management Scheme & Traffic Calming Scheme
Public Consultation
David Butt (Chairman, Angmering Traders' Association) made representations on behalf of the Traders' Association in relation to the proposed Traffic Management Scheme, in respect of which an informal consultation exercise had been carried out on 20 April 2016. [The text of these representations can be found at the Appendix to the Minutes.] Councillor Mountain said that it was important to note that the consultation carried out on 20 April was an informal consultation, and that the formal consultation required under the Highways Act 1980 would follow further down the line. Mrs Turner thanked Councillor Mountain for his explanation, which had been helpful. The traders association and the wider public had known nothing about it. More information had been needed. {Editor's Note: Being present myself, it is noted that APC's minutes omitted many comments of dissatisfaction of the Scheme made by members of the Traders Association}.
County Councillor's Report
County Councillor Urquhart noted that since 2006 there had been numerous meetings with the Parish Council and others about traffic management. She had some sympathy with concerns raised by the Traders Association. Obviously it would not be possible to please everyone with a traffic management scheme on this scale and accordingly WSCC would go with the majority view.
Council Discussion
The Chairman expressed thanks to the Parish Office for preparing an analysis of the responses received so far, and to the Traders Association for their detailed representations, which would be considered in detail, and which would be submitted in their entirety to WSCC as part of the consultation process.
The Chairman also noted that Councillor Lee Hamilton-Street had made good progress with getting a Community Speed Watch scheme set up for the village, which was a welcome contrast with the results of previous attempts. Councillor Lee Hamilton-Street gave a brief explanation of how the scheme would operate – teams of 3 volunteers trained to operate a radar gun would take speed readings from cars travelling in excess of the posted speed limit, and a warning letter would then be sent to the registered keeper by Operation Crackdown. If a particular vehicle was caught 3 times, this would result in a visit to the registered keeper's address by the Police, who would also be prepared to use their powers of seizure under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 in serious cases. The road conditions for operation of the scheme were that locations for Speed Watch activity needed to have good visibility, and the checks needed to be conducted in daylight hours and at times when the traffic was light. It should also be noted that Speed Watch could not be used to enforce any speed limit lower than 30 mph.
Report from Sussex Police
Councillor Nikki Hamilton-Street noted that the reports had gone very light on detail again, which was not helpful. Councillor Mountain agreed that the reports needed much more detail. Councillor Verrinder stated that residents needed to be made aware of properties in the village being rented to groups of young males, usually immigrants. There had been a gang-rape of a young woman in Greenacres Ring two weeks ago at a house rented by four Romanians, and sub-let to eight others. All sorts of illegal behaviour was going on at the property. This had not found its way onto the report.
The Chairman noted that the Parish Council was being asked to consider making the funds available to install a defibrillator, as per the report prepared by the Clerk, and resulting from the decisions of the Maintenance Committee. The defibrillator would be installed on the wall of the Parish Office, next to the notice board. Councillor Lee Hamilton-Street noted that he would like to see a much wider provision of defibrillators in the Parish. Sites he envisaged were outside the Parish Office, at Palmer Road Recreation Ground and near Roundstone Level Crossing. It would also be beneficial to look at setting up a programme of training in the use of defibrillators and associated publicity. On a proposal by Councillor Nikki Hamilton-Street, seconded by Counillor Phelon: That a defibrillator be acquired in accordance with the provisions of the Clerk's report – unanimously AGREED.
Post Box
The old box was not the Parish Council's property and was therefore not covered under its asset insurance. Due to the need to rebuild it like-for-like on account of its location just within the Conservation Area, and as a result of the Post Office's refusal to countenance the expenditure involved, the Parish Council was placed in the rather invidious position of having to pay to reinstate something that it did not in fact own. However, having done so, the brickwork of the new box could then be included on the Parish's asset insurance. On a proposal by Councillor Verrinder, seconded by Councillor Oldfield: That the post box be rebuilt as per the recommendations of the Maintenance Committee – unanimously AGREED.

Arundel & South Downs MP, Nick Herbert, has called on the Government to introduce more robust measures to protect neighbourhood plans from developers who are trying to "game the system". Speaking in the Commons during the Consideration of Lords' Amendments to the Housing and Planning Bill on Monday (9 May), he pressed the Housing Minister to commit to further steps to ensure that neighbourhood plans are not subverted. Mr Herbert accepted the Government's reasons for rejecting his proposed 'neighbourhood right of appeal', but he asked the Minister to agree to look at how neighbourhood plans could be strengthened. A number of parish councils in West Sussex which have passed neighbourhood plans have expressed concerns that developers are trying to get around them.
Mr Herbert has succeeded in persuading the Secretary of State to 'call in' a number of these development applications, but believes that greater protection for neighbourhood plans is needed. The MP said: "As the plans are voted on by a local referendum, it is very important that they are respected once they are agreed."
Neighbourhood plans give communities control over where development can take place, allowing green spaces to be protected while other sites are earmarked for development. But some developers have attempted to secure planning permission on sites that are not allocated for development in spite of the plans being agreed, or just before they are completed. The Planning Minister, Brandon Lewis, said that he was "happy to make it clear that I want the law to be strongly in favour of neighbourhood plans." He said that he shared Mr Herbert's desire to ensure that communities had the confidence to draw up a neighbourhood plan. Mr Lewis said: "I am happy to tell my right hon. Friend that we will work with him and other colleagues to ensure that we give these neighbourhood plans the confidence and primacy that the Government always intended for them. We must ensure that neighbourhood plans are respected by the decision makers."
Mr Herbert said that neighbourhood planning was "one of the success stories of this Government and a flagship of localism policy". But he said that it was "of concern to local communities that are about to produce a neighbourhood plan or have made one, and to other areas in the process of producing such plans or considering them, if developers appear to be allowed to come along, game the system, bang in a speculative planning application in the hope that they will get it through".
He rejected the Government's alternative to a neighbourhood right of appeal, which would require local authorities to identify where there was a conflict with the neighbourhood plan, arguing that it did not go far enough "because it merely reflects what happens in the planning system at the moment". But Mr Herbert welcomed the Minister's commitment to consider further steps to strengthen neighbourhood plans, and his willingness to engage with MPs on the issue. Speaking after the debate, he said: "I will continue to discuss this issue with ministers and I am optimistic that we will see further measures to strengthen neighbourhood plans in due course."
Arun District Council is undertaking a 'Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) Update Consultation and Call for Sites'. The consultation runs until 3rd June and further details, schedules and maps can be viewed here.
The HELAA is one of several technical reports that the Council is required to produce to underpin the emerging Local Plan. The HELAA is a technical and theoretical assessment of sites which could potentially contribute towards the future supply of housing and employment land. The HELAA therefore does not set policy, but provides background evidence on the potential availability of sites. The decision on site allocations is made through the Local Plan. The identification of sites in the HELAA should not be seen as an intention to allocate these sites for development, or that planning permission will be granted.
Below is an extract from an assessment map for the Angmering area that Arun are using as part of the consultation:
RED: Not currently developable
ORANGE: Developable 5-15 years
GREEN: Deliverable within 5 years
GREY: New additions which require assessment
At the AGM of Angmering Parish Council last night (Monday), Cllr Susan Francis was re-elected as chairman of the Council and Cllr Sylvia Verrinder was re-elected as vice-chairman.
At Public Consultation time, David Butt, chairman of the newly formed Angmering Traders Association (ATA) took issue with the Council over the handling of the public consultation relating to the proposed Traffic Management Scheme held in the Village Hall on 20 April and how the Council had used very limited data eminating from that consultation to take the process forward. ATA were generally opposed to the imposition of 7 speed tables and 17 pairs of speed pillows along the lengths of Station Road and Water Lane which both the the Council and WSCC had been preparing, as they believed it could be very damaging to their businesses. Mr Butt pointed out that the Council had been working on a scheme that clearly was outwith the views of the people of Angmering when they were consulted in an independently-run survey in 2014 for the Neighbourhood Plan. From the 1367 responses, for traffic management in Station Road, 36% were in favour of Speed Indicator Displays (SID) ; 25% in favour of speed camera ; 19% in favour of reduced speed limit, and just 16% in favour of raised cushions or similar. For Water Lane, 33% were in favour of SID ; 22% in favour of speed camera ; 23% in favour of reduced speed limit, and just 15% in favour of raised cushions or similar.
On behalf of the Council, Cllr Steven Mountain clarified the present status of the Scheme and stated that the showing of plans in the Village Hall on 20 April was actually only an informal consultation at this stage of the design process. However, faced with the information presented by ATA, the Council agreed to look at this outside the meeting and agreed that in future the Scheme would be developed through the Council's new Housing, Transport & Planning Committee. Angmering and Findon's County Councillor, Deborah Urquhart, stated that she would support the majority view.

At a recent meeting of the Parish Council's Maintenance Committee, it was agreed to raise awareness of the village's litter problem through the schools by arranging a poster competition with winners to be announced at the St Peter and St Paul Annual Fair on Saturday 2nd July 2016 and for this to be extended to the public and adult population. Schools are being contacted to ask for the litter problem to be highlighted in assemblies and for them to consider the possibility of awarding a badge for Good Environmental Awareness..
The Competition has the following age categories: 4-7 years; 8-12 years; 13-16 years; 16 year plus
The Competition Closing Date is 17th June 2016 and all entries are to be handed into the Parish Council Office. The winners will be announced and prize giving will be at the St Peter and St Paul Annual Fair on Saturday 2nd July 2016. poster
Community Centre Car Park
The contract for the works had been let, but work had not yet commenced. A question had arisen about a modification to the proposed drainage scheme to improve its capacity, which had had to be referred back to WSCC's Highways Engineer for further comments. That had now been dealt with and work was due to start in the coming weeks.
New Parich Council Website
Work had now commenced on uploading content to the new site, which would involve further testing. The back end of the system had been made available for inspection and appeared much more user-friendly than the existing system. On present information, it was hoped that the new site would be able to go live by the end of May 2016.
Angmering Traffic Management Scheme
Councillor Mountain asked [County Councillor Urquhart] whether anything else had happened at WSCC since the meeting. County Councillor Urquhart confirmed that she had nothing further to report, but noted that pressure was being brought to bear to get the scheme done in the current financial year (2016/17).
Councillors Mountain and Thompson both expressed surprise at this. It was noted that the outcome of the meeting had been that the scheme would not go ahead until 2017/18, the benefit of the delay being that the scheme could after all be amended to incorporate the matters repeatedly requested by the Parish Council. That was an acceptable trade-off.
BMX/Skatebowl Activity Day
Councillor Nikki Hamilton-Street asked where it had been agreed that the Parish Council would stage this event annually.
The Clerk noted that this was the view expressed in feedback received immediately following the event in 2015. It was important to note that preparations for this type of event needed to be put in hand more or less straight away following the previous event, as even provisional bookings needed to be made well in advance. The Clerk conceded that this should have been put before Councillors earlier in the year and regretted that this had not happened.
There followed further general discussion, in which it was confirmed that the proposed partner for the event, Live And Breathe Skateboarding, were prepared to host the event without charge to the Parish Council as they were able to cover costs by means of sponsorship. The only financial outlay for the Parish Council would be for ancillary matters such as first aid, sanitary facilities and so forth. The matter then proceeded to a vote.
On a proposal by Councillor Thompson, seconded by Councillor Jones: That the event be held on Saturday 24 September 2016 as proposed, using Live And Breathe Skateboarding, subject to a maximum outlay for ancillary expenses of £1,000, and subject to a report confirming detail to be laid before the Parish Council for approval at a future meeting – AGREED by six votes in favour (Councillors Bicknell, Harris, Jones, Mountain, Phelon, and the Chairman). Councillors Evans, Lee Hamilton-Street, and Nikki Hamilton-Street voted against the proposal. Councillors Thompson and Verrinder abstained.
St Peter & St Paul Fair
On a proposal by Councillor Thompson, seconded by Councillor Harris: That the St Peter & St Paul Fair be held on Saturday 2 July 2016, and that a budget of up to £3,000 be allowed to meet organisational costs – AGREED by 9 votes in favour. Councillors Lee Hamilton-Street and Nikki Hamilton-Street abstained.

Have you noticed an increase in fresh produce prices?
Relevant offers
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but you'll certainly be paying for the health benefits, according to the latest food price inflation figures.
Data released by Statistics New Zealand yesterday showed apple prices rose 21 per cent in January compared with a year ago, its highest level since December 2008.
And at $4.12 per kilogram, that outstripped an overall increase in food prices of 0.8 per cent for the January year.
Turners & Growers chief executive Geoff Hipkins said the sharp price jump was a result of a classic rise in overall demand for apples meeting a shortage of supply due to poor growing conditions in the northern hemisphere.
"It's an advantage to New Zealand, being able to supply apples while other countries have not been in that position," he said, adding that the warm summer had been helping apple farmers so far.
Kumara and avocados were the other fresh produce items burning holes in consumers' pockets.
Poor weather during the kumara planting and harvesting seasons caused prices to rise 98 per cent in the January year, and a seasonally low avocado crop saw prices rise 86 per cent.
Still, a glass of milk would have cost you almost 10 per cent less in January than it did a year ago, with international dairy prices trading well short of last year's February peak.
Month-on-month, the food price index rose 1.9 per cent, its first gain in five months and the single biggest monthly increase since July 2011.
ASB senior economist Jane Turner said consumers enjoyed the benefits of soft commodity prices at the till last year, but a moderate uptick in global economic activity was starting to affect food costs.
"Over the coming year we expect to see further, albeit modest, lifts in this area reflecting higher global commodity prices for grains and dairy," she said.
Last month's food price gains were led by fruit and vegetables, with prices 3.5 per cent higher than in December.
Grocery food prices rose 1.9 per cent, and meat, poultry and fish prices rose 2.2 per cent as supermarkets reduced discounting on lamb.

Joseph Parker wants bout in Kevin Barry's home
Wants to 'do it right' after shambles of last boutMATT RICHENS
Relevant offers
Joseph Parker is so keen to fight in Christchurch, the home town of his trainer Kevin Barry, he says he'll push for it personally with promoters Duco.
Parker, 22, holds a bit more sway now; the 10-0 heavyweight's stock continues to rise internationally and he's the company's biggest boxing asset.
Gone are the days of the naive boy from South Auckland who some feared could be taken in by slick-talking promoters. Parker says he now has more say and the relationship is a partnership.
And he wants to come to Christchurch.
Parker has fought in Christchurch, though that was a shambles. He fought in the Hornby Working Men's Club, against the brother of the man he was meant to fight after the initial opponent pulled out scared, on the undercard for Christchurch's Reece Papuni.
He won in a doddle in easily the most mismatched fight of his 10-bout career.
Parker would now be likely to fight at Horncastle Arena, the former CBS Canterbury Arena, and if the prices weren't astronomical, he could sell it out.
''It would mean heaps to me to come and fight here,'' Parker said yesterday, on a promotional tour for his October 16 fight with Bahamas' Sherman Williams.
''It's like a second home to me. Kevin's family are here and they've taken me in as part of their family. We've got heaps of supporters here and friends and family so I really want to fight here.''
Parker is a clever man and has said he'd like to fight everywhere in New Zealand, but Christchurch holds a special place.
''We want to do it right too. I want to put on a show here. I don't want to come here just for the sake of it and have some easy fight, we need to get the right opponent and really make a great night of it.''
When asked about the possibility, a Duco spokesperson said ''it will happen''.
''It's not a matter of if, but when. With the support down here, we think we owe it to this city to have Joseph fight in Christchurch.''
There's no date or plan for it to happen in the near future, but it will happen.
There are other reasons; the Auckland corporate market is bled for money constantly and with several organisations trying to copy Duco's lead and promote fight night's of differing standards, the City of Sails could be seen as the City of Stale.
Christchurch on the other hand is still light on top class sporting events and would probably support the event well.
''I'd love to do it for Kevin too,'' Parker added.
''He's an amazing trainer and he's been like a second dad to me.
''It would mean a lot to him, I think. His dad had a boxing gym here, his brother's now got a boxing gym here and his whole family is into boxing.
''He's done so well in boxing too and is so highly regarded by people in the business, it would be nice to have a big night for him in his home town so the people of Christchurch can celebrate him. Because he's world class."

Nope, Beenie Man won't be in The Hague after complaints from various organisations. How can anyone think of a homophobe as a replacement for Snoop? Beenie's lyrics are well-know, so what idiot came up with him?
I love the fact they think Dogg fans would be problematic if they don't have another hip hop star.
Says a lot for hip hop culture.
Funny thing is that I was just reading the year Jay-Z headlined at Glasto there were more thief's then another other year.
Nuff said
Let's be honest, they're both crap! Anyone who can come out with the semi-literate rubbish they do and call it music should be sent to a remote island so we don't have to hear them
According to Parkpop.nl 's website, the organisers have rescinded the invitation to Beenie Man.
"DUCOS Productions, organisator van Parkpop, heeft vandaag besloten de artiest Beenie Man terug te trekken uit de programmering van 27 juni. De reggaester zou aanvankelijk de lege plek van de eerder geannuleerde Snoop Dogg opvullen, maar DUCOS Productions ziet daar na intern beraad vanaf."
…daarmee heeft Ducos een PR-ramp kunnen vermijden.
I just can't get angry with Snoop Dogg. I just want to hug him.
Umm, OK, that decision makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. So they dropped one homophobe for another? Bizarre.
Snoop is far from a homophobe. At the end of Bruno, Snoop raps and says "He's gay?" shrugs his shoulders, "OK."
And whoever said Snoop is crap and semi-literate – wow! He's the grand-daddy of rap!
