Hell!! An IPad with Foreflight installed is a monumental jump in technology from where we were 5 years ago.
On April 24, 1992, Mary Bordelon Ford drafted a will providing for the disposal of her estate upon her death. Mrs. Ford’s husband Ralph had passed away in 1988, and they had no children.
One of the most important things in Mrs. Ford’s estate was 124 acres of land at the corner of Perkins Road and Glasgow Avenue.
In the will, she provided that three tracts of land totalling five acres located near the center of the property would be given as a “remunerative donation” to Danny Hoover and Dr. Bob Welch in payment for long years of service to her.
Tract A, consisting of her residence and 3.7 acres of land, were left to Dr. Welch.
Tract B, consisting of a home and .7 acre were left to Danny Hoover. He and his wife Janet had lived on the property since 1978 and in the house since 1983.
Tract C, consisting of a barn and .6 acre, were left jointly to Hoover and Welch.
Mrs. Ford left explicit instructions that Tracts A, B, and C would have a 30-foot wide Private Access Servitude along a particular route to allow unimpeded access to and from Glasgow Avenue. She provided the exact location of the servitude and said, “DEDICATION: The 30’ Private Access Servitude shown hereon is hereby dedicated as a private means of access to Tracts A, B, & C. No trees, shrubs, or plants may be planted on nor shall any buildings, fences or other improvements be constructed within or over said servitude so as to prevent or unreasonably interfere with the purpose for which the servitude is granted. The City-Parish has no responsibility for the maintenance of this servitude.”
Mrs. Ford provided that the remaining 119 acres would be left to her heirs, most of whom lived out of state. Her attorney was Gregory Pletsch of Baton Rouge. One of Mrs. Ford’s caregivers was the sister of developer Tommy Spinosa.
Mrs. Ford died on Oct. 24, 2003.
After her death, Spinosa began negotiations for the purchase of the property. In court documents, Pletsch stated that he had tried to convince Mrs. Ford not to divide the property. He said he warned her that it could lessen the value of the property. After her death, he approached Hoover and Welch to see if they would consider accepting cash instead of Tracts A, B, and C. They declined because they want to live on the property and have no interest to sell.
Spinosa entered into an agreement with the other heirs to purchase 109 acres for $13.1 million. He entered into a second agreement to purchase 4.5 acres located between the Hoover-Welch properties and Glasgow Avenue. The heirs and Spinosa agreed that the sale would not go through
until the heirs were able to free the property of the servitude.
Eventually, Spinosa purchased the two tracts without that condition.
By 2008, Hoover and Welch filed suit to have themselves placed in possession of their properties. Ironically, by then, the other heirs not only had been placed in possession of their 119 acres but had already sold it to Spinosa.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant. Check out the Chicken Lindsey Grace. One of my top 5 dishes of all time.
Eddie Lacy looked a little better in practice than he did yesterday. It seems to change by the day with him, but he remains in a white jersey with that right foot heavily taped up.

Neil Peart is a beast! :dude:
The water treatment plant for south lafourche is located in Lockport. The spill would have to have meander no less than 50 miles of water way to reach that point which is highly unlikely. I doubt any sheen has even reached Leeville. This rumor is BS.

No doubt Hoover does a 1st rate job with the tourney. Kudo's to the bunch that puts this together. The facilites are very nice and great for RVers. We haven't noticed traffic problems all week except for when Bammers and Barners dry humped each other for Game 1.

Fail, BP is going to pay for it if it is approved by the BP executives. The Corps is going to provide their dredges and oversee. BP can hire whomever they want to do the job.
Then you question me if I understand federal contracting?
Your the one who indicated that the USACE provides THEIR OWN DREDGES and that BP could HIRE WHOMEVER THEY WANT TO DO THE JOB. Then you turn around and say that the USACE will oversee the project. So what is it? BP will oversee or the Corp.
Look.... I know what your getting at. BP will fund the project and the USACE will design and manage the contract. I've never been involved in that type of procurement, but I'm sure it's possible. I just don't see BP agreeing to do this just for the PR when it does nothing to mitigate the spill damage.
I do know a little about how things work with large USACE projects. I'm the PM for a $300 million USACE flood control project in St. Bernard Parish. Yes, $250 million worth of DREDGING and Beach Restoration Projects is BIG. Think about it. All the cost is in equipment and manpower. No large material purchases. It took Burtucci over a year to complete the Grand Isle project which was only 10% of this endeaver. This is a land mass that you can drive to!!! The logistics and cost of working in remote locations is huge!
A couple of other things. Shaw doesn't do jack shite. They sub everything. They definetly don't have a dredge operation. Weeks is for real. Manson Gulf is a very small company here in louisiana. Although, they are affliated with a much larger. The louisiana company is somewhat independent and is a small player in the Louisiana dredging sceen. I know this because I executed a contract with them 2 months ago to do about 75,000CY of dredging (dragline). Great lakes, Burtucci, etc...are other companies that have suction dredge operations that could perform this work.
So you see...I'm not just some dumbass who doesn't know what he's talking about. I just don't think what you are saying "WILL HAPPEN" will even be considered. These things just don't HAPPEN that easily in the real world.

These companies have multiple multi 100 million dollar projects going on around the nation awarded by the Corps. You do realize that the Corps doesn't actually do the work, right? They contract those types of things out. Of course you already knew that.

Very large rocks used for rip rap is plentiful near the Dubai man made islands and soil conditions are many many times better. Not so much in Louisiana. Alo plenty of Denor there. Not so much in Louisiana.

No way BP pays for this. Frankly, the whole idea of constructing an 80 mile berm along the coast line prior to oil infultrating our bays and esturaries is ludicris. Also, companies like BP are not allowed to take on such a huge public works undertaking on their own, that's what the USACE does. Lots of issue with a project of this magnitude.
I hope your not gullible enough to believe that this is about protecting our wetlands from the oil slick? This is just Jindal doing his job and trying to get coastal restoration funding.

The USACE spent $25 million on the 8 mile beach restoration project they just completed on Grand Isle from the Gustav damage. So estimating $250M for 80 miles is fairly accurate.
The biggest problem they face is that the USACE doesn't move very fast. BP will not fund this and the feds take forever to award projects. It would take a min of 4 months to design and prepare contract documents. Then 3 months to bid and award. Best case would be 6 months before work would start and 6 months to 1 year to construct, depending on the number of dreadging contractors used.
Jindal is going to have a tough time selling this to the feds.
