Posted by: John_Hamilton on 12/13/2013 09:18 AM
Columbia, CA.... Las Posadas is a Spanish tradition that re-enacts the biblical story of Mary and Joseph's search for shelter in Bethlehem on the original Christmas Eve. Since 1983 the people of Columbia have put on their own version of Las Posadas each December--with a distinctive 1850s flavor. This year it's the 31st annual! Columbia State Historic Park is decorated for the Christmas season with traditional Christmas boughs and wreaths, and the ambiance is enhanced with luminaries on Main Street, lighting the way for the evening procession. The Mirth & Glee Carolers, in period costume, provide music for the event, and on-lookers participate also in this touching Columbia Christmas tradition--singing Christmas carols by candlelight..

They were trying to spare the American people the Obamacare disaster that is now unfolding, but to no avail. The American people sided overwhelmingly with the Democrats on the principle that the government should be funded according to current law without any side issues...

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 12/11/2013 08:57 AM
Jackson, CA...It used to be back in the day we could call our neighbors and others in the region out on their politics, values, morals and ethics with NO repercussions besides our region becoming stronger as a whole? So what happened? What started the down hill trend where now even some of the old timers just shake their heads and allow those moving into the region to set precedence over what happens in our region?

Cruise ship passengers, family vent online
Ship is slowly being pulled to dock in Alabama
UPDATED 3:45 PM EST Feb 14, 2013
More than 4,000 passengers and crew have been stuck on a cruise ship since an engine room fire cut power and left the ship listing four days ago.
Passengers have confirmed uncomfortable conditions aboard the Carnival Triumph, saying urine and feces streamed in the halls and down walls after toilet facilities failed. The smells from waste and spoiling food, as well as a lack of air conditioning, have made it a trip to remember.
As the ship is slowly pulled to a dock in Mobile, Alabama, frustrated passengers are sharing their thoughts and stories on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Winchester residents Have Their Say
Wednesday, 23 January 2013
Hampshire County Council's 'Have Your Say' scheme, which involves local people in community decisions, is going from strength to strength, with a new grant approved for Winchester.
Have Your Say provides funding for local projects that have been chosen and then voted for by local people. The first Have Your Say grants have already been distributed to local Gosport projects by The Community Safety Partnership through their YOUdecide programme. More schemes in Basingstoke and Deane, Hart, Havant, Rushmoor, Test Valley and East Hampshire are working on community initiatives to distribute funding to local projects that have been voted by local residents.
Now community projects in Winchester have the opportunity to apply for a share of £17,500.
At his Decision Day on Monday 21 January, Councillor Keith Mans, Executive Member for Communities and International Relations at Hampshire County Council, approved an application for £17,500 from Winchester Area Community Action (WACA) which supports voluntary and community activity in the Winchester District area. WACA will now invite applications for community projects and those that meet the criteria will then be put to a public vote at an open community event.
Councillor Mans welcomed these latest grant applications saying:
"Have Your Say is an important way for people in Hampshire to have a direct involvement in how their communities are run. It gives local people a real voice in how money is spent in their area and encourages small scale grass roots community projects. It's a great way to improve the local environment and strengthen the community and I look forward to seeing which Winchester projects are successful with the public vote."
The Have Your Say scheme still has funds left and applications to organise and run small scale community participatory budget events are welcomed from local organisations including district/borough councils, town or parish councils, councils for voluntary service, community groups, community safety or other relevant partnerships. These organisations must have the ability to operate the scheme locally, and potentially link this with other resources for the community to make decisions about the funding of local projects.
