Recently thieves stole 5 slides from the childrens playground in Mezaparks. Latvian electricity provider 'Latvenergo' also have reported their highest level of  theft in recent years. Sad and disappointing.....

Riga's new bike paths

Easy isnt it - you just spraypaint a bike and a dash and the footpath magically transforms into a bike path. Watch for poles though.

Prosecutor's office loses valuable information in a criminal case due to computer crash
RIGA, Sept 22 (LETA) - The prosecutor's office has lost all information in a high-profile criminal case as a result of a computer crash, Prosecutor General Eriks Kalnmeiers said at a meeting of the Saeima Defense, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Committee today.
Kalnmeiers said that he had been informed about the incident yesterday. He revealed that politicians were not involved in the said criminal case.
The committee members expressed their indignation at the poor technical support at the prosecutor's office, its obsolete computers and car pool.
Kalnmeiers did not deny that this was a major problem. 244 computers, some of which were manufactured back in 2001, need to be replaced. These obsolete computers cannot be switched to computer systems that prosecutors use in their daily work, said Kalnmeiers.
Old cars of the prosecutor's office are also a serious cause of concern. Some of them were made in 1994 and 1995 and many will have to be written off in the near future, which means that limited-access documents will have to be delivered by messengers on foot, Kalnmeiers said.
The prosecutor's office though is lucky to have a talented mechanic who, for instance, will have made one "new Audi" from three "Audi" cars that have been written off.

A night at Bums Disko Bars

Spotted this place in a small town on the way down from Kolka. Judging from the name it could either be a disco club featuring scantily-clad dancers or the place winos end up late at night. As an added bonus it looks like the club is actually in someones bedroom.
