The bridge you see stretching over the 210 freeway comprises nearly 2.5 million pounds of steel and timber, and that's just the falsework. Watch how the bridge has progressed over time by clicking the above video.

Perhaps I am unclear on what exactly you would have done?
Take away visas from Chinese only? Not…Read More allow anyone pregnant to cross our boarders even with a visa? Pregnancy tests at the boarder? Or start a fund for what you call "the hard-working Mexican people?" I am going to assume you were kidding and waxing sardonic when you wrote that they don't have the luxury of staying in a decent hotel...and I really find myself hoping that you have some idea of the WORLD you live in, not just your immediate area. This is not an attack; it is a very real appeal to ask : What would you have DONE about it? Please allow issues of legality, human ethical behavior, financial liability, and finally a realistic approach to your response.

Are you all standing at the Arcadia City Council meetings, telling the City and Arcadia Police Dept.…Read More to crack down on these hotels that are turned into "birthing houses" ? If its not against any statute then YOU need to work to get a statute drafted and enacted as law to stop this. YOU are "We the People", and if you don't make the laws, someone else will. Complaining online may make us feel better, but it will resolve nothing.

Be part of the change you insist on happening. Bring some ideas out and present them to whoever…Read More needs to see tham. You make it sound like its a situation that you think is not your problem but yet you expect smeone else to make it better You have no clue about the culture, the reasoning or the attempts that may have been made or are in the works. Lend a hand.

See other post about this: It needed to happen...(Ancient Burial Ground that was desecrated) but I…Read More maintain we should get some sort of "cleansing" or burn some incense/sage or call for an exorcism. I believe the evil mojo needs to be banished before we build again.........

Hi Therese, I am good friends with Star Shields. He is a busy face painter, and often needs back-up…Read More either at the Summer festival in Laguna Beach, now underway, or with one of his other commitments. If you're interested, I would be happy to give you his contact details via email.

Hi Donna! Star is a good friend of mine too!!! He is more an airbrush artist (and a darn good…Read More one!!) then a face painter. But he is truly a legend in his craft. I have been lucky enough to work with him and learn from him too! I just wish he wasn't so far away :( Nice to hear from you!

Old fashioned country vet "patchin' up" was some of the cool stuff I was taught growing…Read More up. Splinting a bird's wing or leg, getting a thorn out of a slightly infected cat or dog paw was part of learning. I am NOT saying to eliminate/not see a REAL vet, however some things can be handled at home with a bit of basic medical knowledge and Bactine/hot clean water and towels/tweezers and some loving hands to hold Fido or Snowball when you can do it yourself. I am already bracing myself for the angry openly hostile messages this post might draw, so it's OK if you feel the need to do so. Watching some of my older friends who have limited income spend THOUSANDS of dollars for a beloved pet out of pressure/and what I call "pusher's guilt" sorta made me feel like mentioning that in the old days, some of the animal care was done by a wise farm woman/man...not all vets are crooks, and not all pet needs need put you in the poor house.

I love the old farmers remedies, particularly for mange however when dealing with elderly animals…Read More and certain conditions you just get around it. The farmers remedies are often slow working causing more pain then an animal needs to go through. I try holistic meds quite often for some bacterial infections and they are slow too. Cats in particular are difficult treat. They are great in some situations but in others the it is not appropriate. I will attempt the at home first then the vet. My recent situation was a neglected kitty I rescued with a 1.25 lb cyst I had no idea she had the cyst just thought she was matted. I was trying to get her shaved. Kitty's don't cooperate for though things. One thing led to another she ends up on the operating table. No rescue groups would help me and that's where my anger is directed. I have been donating to different groups monthly for more then 20 years. At one point three different groups at the same time. No one helped me when I needed it. I'm done.

@Lynn: Reading your posts I felt some anger FOR you. HUGE animal lover here, and ALL my pets are…Read More rescues/fosters except for the Robo dwarf hamster. Love my cats, and know there just some things you can't do to a kitty without risking kitty AND your own safety. What you have experienced was pretty much the exact thing I saw some older friends go thru...Care about their pets, want to get help, and can't seem to get any or get SOME but with hidden costs and "guilt trips" at the end.
If no one said it, thanks for helping critters out and giving when you could. Sorry it was not rewarded.

Donna...Poor Donna. My dear, it is too late. Call that weird yet cute little tiny lady to…Read More "clean" your home and get your kids out of the television.
......oh and if you have a pool...DO NOT GO SWIMMING.

Love you Donna. Your comment should have been "Poltergeist get ""thee""…Read More behind me"!!!!! All in fun.

I've recently spoken to Gayle. She's fine, just taking a bit of a mental hygiene breather.

I am glad to hear she is good. I don't do facebook so I will simply take it that she will comment…Read More again. She was my first "Patch" debate with someone on the other side of issues......You know, sentimental thing for your first time.... LOL. Just tell her Buzzlightyear "Marty" said hi if either of you two talk to her.
