Now we know the other side of the story.

 Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little more than 65 years ago numerous witnesses claim that an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico .

This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered-up by the U.S. Air Force, as well as other Federal Agencies and Organizations. 

However . . . what you may NOT know is that in the month of April, year 1948, just nine months after that historic day, the following people were born: 
Barrack Obama Sr.
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
William J. Clinton
John F. Kerry
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
Joe Biden

This is the consequence of aliens breeding with sheep and jack-asses.

Residents told to remove yard statues, or face fines

A Port Orange woman says it's a sin that her homeowner's association is ordering her to remove a statue of an angel from her front yard.
 
A grieving widow has a statue of an angel in her front yard, a token of the happy years she spent with her husband before she lost him. But her neighborhood homeowners association says the statue violates community covenants, and if she doesn't remove it, she'll pay a fine.
  
Norma Freiji was one of the first residents of the 13-year-old Ashton Lakes subdivision, and she said that she has always had yard art displayed. But now the HOA is asking all residents to remove statues in front and side yards. That means that 
cute figurines dotting many yards in the subdivision -- pelicans, egrets, gnomes and even a basketball hoop affixed to a garage -- must go. Homeowners received a letter recently from the HOA outlining the demands.

"I have her lit up at night with a solar light. She looks so beautiful," Freiji told WESH of her angel statue. She began to weep as she explained its significance to her and her deceased husband. "I just have it because I lost my husband, and it's just sentimental, that's all."
  
Jim Clapprood is the resident who was asked to remove a basketball hoop from his garage or pay a $100-a-month fine. He said that he understands HOAs must have rules to protect home values, but this is going a little too far. "A basketball hoop for children to play at the end of a cul-de-sac -- I don't see how that affects values," Clapprood said.

The HOA has declined to comment on the requested statue removal in the neighborhood. The HOA president didn't comment either, but WESH went to his house. The station discovered

5 Big Retailers That’ll Be Gone in 5 Years

We've lost Lechmere, Ames, Caldors  Bradlees, Circuit city and for what? an all powerful Walmart? if this keeps up all of my childhood stores will be gone.

 1. JC Penney
It's become fashionable to pick on Penney's lately. (In fact, this may be the first time the word "Penney's" and "fashionable" have been used in the same sentence since the late 1970s.) Sozzi says JCP's decision to fire ex-Apple retail head Ron Johnson and bring back former CEO Myron Ullman will only speed up their inevitable demise.
As fast as Johnson was running through JCP's cash with his ambitious remodel plan, it's going to be almost as expensive to undo it. Half of Penney's stores are in the various stages of being gutted and about 500 stores haven't seen a paint brush in years. To bring the two versions of JCP together is going to cost a fortune and confuse customers even more.
"It's going to get worse," says Sozzi, adding that the stock will ultimately move "in one direction — down."
2. Staples (SPLS)
Sozzi thinks Staples is a victim not so much of ineptitude but changing times. Tablets, emails and texts have finally reached the long awaited point at which they've obviated the need for an office supply store down the street.
The products people need to help them work at home (printer paper, ball point pens, etc.) are available at every merchant in town, and more exotic products can be ordered online and delivered in record time. Staples has a robust online presence, but nothing so great that a company like Amazon (AMZN) could not destroy it on a whim.
Staples' most obvious way to escape its death spiral would be expanding internationally. Unfortunately history hasn't been kind to even the best retailers trying to tap foreign markets. As dim as Staples' prospects are domestically staying home gives the company a better shot at survival than a cash-draining attempt to go global.
3. Sears (SHLD)
It may be impossible for most to remember, but Sears was once the "go to" merchant for almost anything. The Amazon of its time, Sears was the first retailer to make it easy for customers to shop from home via its once iconic catalog.
That was a long time ago. Sears has been on a steep slide for ages, held together by little more than the will and imagination of billionaire investor Eddie Lampert. As a merchant, Lampert makes an amazing hedge fund manager.
"Here's a fast fact," offers Sozzi, "the domestic same-store sales have been down for seven straight years." The slide is inexorable. Sears stores will disappear, and the company will be chopped into pieces.
4. Radio Shack (RSH)
Despite still having thousands of stores, RadioShack embodies an idea that is behind the times. They've tried almost everything to maintain a place in America's shopping habits, but there just isn't that much need for speaker wire, knock-off remote controlled toys or another cell phone seller.
RadioShack is "a little, small store of product deflation," Sozzi notes. Everything in the stores, except perhaps the batteries, once cost more than it does today. It's somehow encouraging that a handheld robot with almost no functionality can be had for less than it cost 20 years ago, but there's no margin in such toys and gadgets.
5. Barnes & Noble (BKS)
Say it isn't so! The last of the major physical book retailers had one shot at relevance, Sozzi says. That was in the form of the Nook, a would-be competitor to the iPad and Amazon's Kindle.
Barnes & Noble's "big idea" was that people who had a Nook could be driven into stores, where customers would congregate to enjoy each others' company and perhaps buy a cup of high-margin coffee and a few magazines.
Instead, Nook sales have dwindled to the point that the company can no longer afford to pursue what little opportunity there may be for a third-place offering in the tablet arena. Sozzi says Barnes & Noble giving up on the Nook eliminates its long-term chance of survival.
If any of these stores are still here in five years, they'll either be a museum or a privately-held vanity property for founder Leonard Riggio.

A challenge to our own rose parade

 
A challenge to our own rose parade, except we get to use lots and lots of variations of flowers, seeds, etc., and these folks only use dahlias... what a feat!
WOW STUNNING!!!     Use full screen
 
Made from flowers in Holland, since 1936! 
What began in 1936 as a flower parade has become the oldest and most celebrated ode to blooms in Europe.
Ever since its inception, Zundert in the Netherlands has hosted an annual flower
show Bloemencorso, with an average 50,000 visitors descending on the town to look at the brilliant displays.
 
Creators use dahlias for their breathtaking displays and build gravity defying sculptures.
Let's hope the wind doesn't blow too hard! The flowers have been meticulously placed to create the giraffes,
even down to their eyelids and hair that lines their neck
A roaring good show: The intricate blooms have been manipulated to create this gravity-defying impressive model of a tiger    and her cubs
 
Every float is made from dahlias. This twisting house, which is as high as other apartments, weaves its ways through the narrow streets
Just by using dahlias, volunteers created this show-stopping piece, where a startled antelope flees the clutches of a leopard that gives chase
Udderly brilliant - thee competitors left no detail out - they even included the numbers on the tags on the ears, and what appears to be the inner workings of a milk-processing plant within the cow's body
Something fishy about this: Bloemencorso saw this elaborate fish display, which saw a shoal of fish whirl around each other - even using light-coloured dahlias to shade in the light bouncing off the eyeballs
 
Each of the competing districts of Zundert - which was the home of Vincent Van Gogh - construct their own entry and compete in the parade, which occurs every first Sunday in September.
 
According to those behind Bloemencorso, the parade is all the work of dedicated volunteers, who do not profit from the colourful display.
A staggering six to eight million dahlia flowers are used to produce the floats.
Visit http://www.bloemencorsozundert.nl/ for more information.
Bloemencorso began in 1936, and since then has spiralled in popularity, as the small population makes huge efforts to outdo one another so they can create sculptures like his huge organ
Even the meerkats get a mention! The curious animals are brought to life, as creators perfected every inch of the models, even down to their nails and shading on their tails
Out of this world! Every float here is made from petals and, despite being made from such a delicate, tiny structure, take on gigantic proportions which people clamour to see
It's really taken off! Bloemencorso has grown in term of popularity and in the sheer size of the creations, with thousands flocking to the home of Vincent Van Gogh to gasp at the displays
Held on the first Sunday of every September, the quaint town becomes packed with visitors and, on this occasion, a huge rhinoceros made of delicate flowers
Make it snappy! Thousands turn out to Bloemencorso, as hamlets compete with each other to create the most beautiful display - including this sinister-looking fishy creature

Why are so many homes for sale in Lake Ashtion?

People are just waiting up to the fact that this is not a private community but a public community with public roads and a public Bingo and a public Clubhouse.  .  The community is run by School Teachers who never had any experience in running a community.  All I got to say is you get what you vote for.  Bingo comes around and all the crooks come in and rob you.  Nobody tells you.  Why, because they think you are all dummies.   You believe Trish Adams is GOD.  She tells you nothing!

"The View" Restaurant to close

Only a fool would open a restaurant in Lake Ashton.  The community  spent over $40,000 for chairs and much more for all the updates in the room.   Another restaurant hits the dust.  They don't know how to run a community and they don't know how to run a restaurant and above all BINGO.  Tricia Adams is a zero.

Homes for sale

Why are there so many homes for sale in Lake Ashton?  Not only are they for sale but cheap.  The home values have dropped.  Be prepared to lose $100.000 or more on your home.  The community has downgraded its value.

House Break in

Received a report that a home has been broken into.  She requested that I don't publish her Email but just report it.  The gate security is worthless.  Everyone can drive in and drive around even on Monday night when you go to Bingo.  This was the day it happen.  Bingo is for everyone, even for the crooks.  The developer  and the management will not say a home has been broken into but will post on their web site lock your doors.  What a cheap place to live.  They tell you shit.  If it is going to rain they will say patch your roof.  They just don't give a damn about you.  Please dodge the bullets.  Read the Ledger!

To
You WERE the termite of Lake Ashton !  Thank you for leaving.
DO NOT SEND ME ANOTHER EMAIL EVER…………good luck to your new community, hopefully for them it won’t take them long to realize what a pest you are.

This is the  Email that our sweet lady that walks on water send me!  That is why I answer her like I did.  Please be advised that this is the same person that told the CDD to dump the late Mr Jeff Salvin from the CDD as President.  This woman is all 100% Mr Maxwell, the developer and doesn't know anything else.  They make a great couple.  Now we have a bunch of dumb, stupid, JACKASS school teachers running the community, Lake Ashton.  ENJOY  Hey, look what happen to Jack Van Sickle!  Another loser!

BINGO

A state investigation is now going on by investigators on the operation of Bingo at Lake Ashton.  This is a long time coming and heads will roll.  We are all sick of all the bull shit we received from BINGO PAUL and all is clones.  No taxes were paid and all the money went for dinners for his friends just to get elected to the board.  Yes, this community is indeed cooked and very dishonest.  You can't get a straight answer from anyone.  As you well know Jessie Ayers started Bingo and Bingo Paul somehow told him to leave.  How much money did Bingo Paul steal?  Why didn't this money go to the Bingo winners?  Why were they  running an illegal 50-50 game?  There are so many questions and hopefully they will get answered.
