Here's a fascinating story on PBS Frontline on The Retirement Gamble and how some folks are getting…Read More cheated by saving in a 401k program. I feel sorry that the younger generation does not have the safety net we did. They really need to fight and be aware and get political. It seems that they are being taught that they don't deserve retirement programs, or health care. And, they are accepting that big corporations and the the richest in our country shouldn't pay their fair share. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/retirement-gamble/

Tap, AKA Helen Keller,
Tap, looks like you joined patch, on the 5th, and your first…Read More "comment" is your claim of posting problems, wich you post in multiple patches.
Then the next day HELEN KELLER, joins, and the very first comment is backing up Tap.
Many people, including me have jumped to the conclusion of some personal singled out blocking of their post. But From my experience of posting, some of which have been obnoxious, and rude, personal filtering has not been the problem with posts that were delayed, or never shown up.

Looking to make every day Earth Day? Please join us on Saturday, May 11 from 9:00am until 11:00am…Read More to help restore the natural habitat at the Rosemont Preserve. We will focus on identifying and removing invasive plant species to allow room for the native flora to become reestablished, as well as some light trail maintenance.
Wear sturdy shoes, comfortable clothes and garden gloves (long pants and sleeves are recommended.) If you have a shovel, spade, loppers or clippers, please bring them along. Other tools will be available.
The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park.
For further information please contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve at RosemontFriends@gmail.com

As a long time member of the PVPLC I really appreciate this recognition of Mr. Ailor.. He has made…Read More history in PV for sure. And also a shout out to the many loyal members who have contributed a LOT of money and sweat equity to bring about this huge asset to the quality of life, not to mention property values, in our communities.
Well done and thank you.

A wonderful idea although given the popularity of our local dog park, dog owners have not been the…Read More most model owners in cleaning up after their dogs. This is a problem not just inside the gates but from the parking lot all the way up to the park. What will be done to insure the beach does not suffer the same fate?

Beautiful story - but poorly worded in how it refers to people with disabilities. "The…Read More disabled" refers to people with disabilities as objects ----- please use people with disabilities. Always, the focus should be on the person not the disability. Thanks!!

Some Angels come to us in human form!.This woman and her son are an inspiration to many and her…Read More message sends a good reminder, for us to be grateful to have opportunities to do for others, what we could do for ourselves. lt is too an honor to hear a story of the love in a home and "from a mother's perspective", and so close to the soon to be "Mother's Day".
l think for this woman, this last must feel, "as a regular day" as my own Mother always say..." why celebrate for me only one day? ... l am your Mom each and everyday!" So true and so giving is she...we all feel guilty for not doing enough for others when we can.
Gloria. Happy Mother's Day every day
for you! :-)

@Gem City Muse and Kim Neal:
You make my point exactly...you show recovery and spirit... I joke a…Read More lot, but not right now...Showing kindness and empathy when folks are suffering is the most awesome thing you can do. Gem City Muse: My friends weren't selfish as much as super scared and in shock...They had no idea what to say or do...deciding to stay with someone and just listening or holding them ,watching over them while they hurt is really a gift. Much like recovering from a stroke, forgiving people who cannot tolerate other peoples pain seems to be part of it. You two have a great week.

Overcoming right side paralysis after a stroke in May 2007. Learning to walk...talk...and becoming a…Read More lefty while my right hand/arm took its sweet A** time to come around (about A year or more) & getting back to work as a mail carrier was a blessing if you ask me...showed me who I truly am, what I'm made of, and what IS NOT important ....Before I climb outta bed in the morning..I thank the Universe and say two things to be grateful for (whatever they may be..in that moment)!

Your corrections are duly noted and you make a good point! And thank you. It's not all that usual…Read More for an unmarried man to adopt, but with my experience in teaching, an open heart and my time running out a bit...it did seem the right thing to do. As noted, it has worked out very well :) Your rewards are great when you take risks!

Sad to live without hope or imagination. How do you get through your days?
We were lucky enough to…Read More be treated to a guided walk by journalist and broadcaster Patt Morrison, who wrote the book about the river, along part of the river and saw the restoration progress with our own eyes.
Volunteers help clean up and created lovely walking paths many people enjoy every day.

Lewis Macadams deserves our respect and support. Why hasn't te Santa Monica Bay Restoration…Read More Commission and Foundation embraced his efforts? It sounds like the proposed $50 million Annenberg Foundation development on the Ballona Wetlands should have been considered for the railroad property. Oh that's right, the SMBRC/F secure millions of grant dollars then create projects so they can make our money disappear.

The claims made by Ms. Hanscom and a few others have not come to fruition and those that were…Read More soundly researched and documented in the thousands of pages of studies and design documents have. The restoration will continue to become even more successful as time goes by.

Hanscom used fear tactics like “traffic would clog PCH and ruin summer business” to…Read More raise money and the ire of residents, politicians, and local businesses. But the project exported much less soil than the worst case scenario planned for. Additionally, the State avoided truck trips during peak hours, busy beach days, and required the contractor to minimize all noise impacts. All this work was done while keeping a portion of the parking lot available for public use and providing beach access during the entire construction process, as promised. In contrast, Ms. Hanscom used the above-mentioned fear tactics to raise money from concerned Malibu residents and businesses to line her own pockets. It is questionable if those funds were even tax deductible. Some of these funds were seemingly used for lawsuits and appeals that were resoundingly rejected by the Superior Court. There is the smell a boondoggle but the State promised and delivered on their responsibilities. What about you Ms. Hanscom? By all measures this project has been successful. The intensive studies, scientific review, rigorous engineering, and using science to inform the restoration designers has proven to be the correct way to restore wetlands which have been diminished by more than 90% in southern California.

Hanscom claims that if she had "one more year" they could have stopped the project, but…Read More everyone should know that the Lagoon project has been in the works for 20 years. Ms. Hanscom participated in the process for almost that whole time. The EIR was certified in March 2006 and since that time, Hanscom changed her position and began opposing the project. In any case, that seems like more than enough time to halt the project if there was truly any reason to do so.
Hanscom has accused hard working people of being “on the take”. None of the State workers or agency personnel have financially benefited from this project. These employees get a regular salary, whether or not they are working at the lagoon. Additionally, the public has volunteered thousands of hours over the 8 month project to help layout plants, weed, conduct fish surveys, and sample water quality providing for a significant cost savings on the project. The project is significantly (millions) under budget.

We pay $45 monthly for twice a month and have a full size front and back yard, lots of rose bushes…Read More and plantings and 6 trees they mow, weed, trim and blow clean. They also check on our sprinkler system and replace them when someone runs one over! We think this is a great deal.

Hi Jeff—I'll pass your comment along to our ad manager and regional publisher; they may wish…Read More to speak with you about this. From what I recall, advertisers whose old positions were eliminated were given better ad placement.
