I'm guessing that if the witnesses were prosecuted for perjury, then that would be an admission by the prosecutor that the testimony used to obtain a conviction was bogus, therefore handing the defense all they'd need to get the conviction overturned. It would be an admission of a mistake, and our justice system has some issues when it comes to admitting mistakes.

Supposedly there are riot police on standby in downtown Savannah. Not sure if that's true, but pretty much everyone I know (myself included) decided that this would be a good night to stay home.

Ah, Savannah during hurricane season...lots of time spent going from website to website looking for updates, checking to make sure we have plenty of water, batteries, etc, on hand...and losing count of how many times the folks on the news remind us we are overdue because we haven't been hit since 1979... I won't relax completely until Irene actually passes us by...the track was shifted to the east because a system is supposed to develop on the east coast that would make it turn Northwest & then north...but that's not supposed to happen until Thursday. If it develops later, or is weaker

Aveda anti-humectant pomade is an absolute lifesaver. I have naturally curly/wavy thin, fine, dry hair. I have tried pretty much everything you can think of, and this is the only thing that has ever worked. Only need a tiny bit at a time, a $19 jar lasts me 6 months.

yep. past few afternoons it's been the same old thing - sky gets dark, thunder rumbles, wind picks up, maybe even a lightning bolt or 2, everybody picks up what they're doing and hurries inside...and then the sun comes out I am so tired of dragging the hose & sprinkler all over this yard...

Although I am happy to be living back home in Savannah, leaving Paulding wasn't something I chose to do and would still be there if it had been possible for me. I still come to the site to find out what's going on up there, not only because I am curious (and maybe even a bit nosy ), but because when I do get to come back to visit, I don't feel so much like a visitor because I've been able to keep up with what's going on...

Thank goodness for PCom, I'm down here on the coast glued to it & facebook since last night to get word on how everyone fared up there. Glad to know that Paulding dodged the worst of it and everyone is safe. Found out this morning that my next door neighbor's daughter was thisclose to being caught up in the Ringgold tornado, she was driving a Uhaul down from Nashville and had a flat tire right after she passed the exit that was hit so hard and made it to the next exit before pulling off the interstate. Right as she was pulling off the tornado came through. If the flat had happened one or

found mine at an antique store, paid way less for it than I would have at a regular store. Fresh coat of paint & it was as good as new.

Taught there for 10 years. My sentiments exactly.

I got a nice tan walking in the parade, then on River Street the next day...I bet Tybee was packed!

Oh yeah, definitely don't forget those! Make sure you get the right kind for whatever kind of stripper you use. It should tell you on the back of the package what what chemicals the gloves in the package will protect you from. A pair of goggles would be a good idea, too...

Definitely go with stripper first (not paint thinner, you'll be there forever ) and get a good metal paint scraper and go at it. Once you've gotten all you can, sand off the rest. If you think you are going to be restoring any other furniture at any point, invest in a handheld finishing sander (I paid $30 for one at Home Depot, best $30 I've spent in a long time) or borrow one if you can. Your muscles will thank you!

Provigil kept me awake for 3 days, too...but without the energy to actually make good use of all that awake time. Since Nuvigil is basically a longer-acting version of Provigil, heaven only knows how long I would have been awake if I'd taken it Provigil & Nuvigil have been Godsends for many, many people, but like any drug it isn't going to work the same for everyone. I have narcolepsy. Since I was diagnosed 20 years ago a handful of new drugs have come out that have worked wonders for so many people, and I've tried them all. I'm still on the same prescription regimen I started with 20

remember the red-head in the convertible who used to pick Gibbs up or drop him off in the first season? She's Sean Murray's mother. Mark Harmon is and has always been a beautiful specimen of a man. Have had a thing for Michael Weatherly since he was on "Dark Angel". A friend's 7 year old daughter absolutely idolizes Ziva (she has a little trouble with the name, though. She calls her Zebra). She told her mom she couldn't miss the show one night when they were out late, because "I have to learn how to talk funny so I can be like Zebra when I grow up" David McCallum will always be Ilya

Brit ex-BF did too...first time he said it I asked "what the heck is that?" When he told me, I asked why the heck he was adding an extra syllable to it? He also pronounced oregano like "ore-GONE-o". WTH? Anyway...back to the original topic - all the older folks in my family refer to vacuum cleaners as "Hoovers"

my good Irish relatives would say something about who cares what limeys think but I dated a good Englishman for 7 years, and I LOVED the way he said his words funny (even if there were times I couldn't understand him!) he also like my shepherd's pie, made with good ol' ground beef

my uncle delayed having his back surgery for so long (looking for ANY option other than surgery, but there wasn't one) that by the time he had it done, permanent damage had been done to the nerves around the problem disc. Now, even though the problem has been "cured", the damage is irreversible. Now the pain NEVER stops, all he can do each day is hope the pain medicine takes the edge off enough so that he can function. So, sometimes there is no alternative other than drugs... Still, I read the doctor's sign as if all you're looking for is drugs, don't bother. Maybe he should have added "

Shepherd's Pie. good cold weather comfort food. (We're not having snow down here but man is it cold!!)

no no no! I liked being an Aquarius, we even have our own song, dangit!! Actually I've always read Capricorn & Aquarius, since I was on the cusp, and just pick and choose the stuff I like from each...now I'm on the cusp of Sagittarius & Capricorn, so I have another one to pick stuff out of

Okay, I'm down on the coast, and I'M sick of you guys getting snow & sleet. I work for Macy's in Savannah. Our distribution center is in Stone Mountain. All of our truck deliveries keep getting pushed back because the roads are unsafe for the trucks to be travelling on. We were supposed to get one yesterday & one today. Now it's going to be Friday & Saturday. Guess who no longer has the weekend off because all the merchandise has to be placed before the next sale starts on Sunday

Was just going to say the same thing...maybe not outside in this mess (although sitting in a snow drift might actually feel good for a few minutes!) but walk around the house (or crawl if that's all you can do. been there & done it) Just a thought that may get me all kinds of reprimands, but do you have any friends / relatives who have some good pain meds they would be willing to loan you a couple of to get you through? I mean, caring is sharing, right? If I were still up there I'd be happy to bring you a couple. Things like this are why I always keep a stash in the medicine cabinet.

If "thaw" means to melt or otherwise no longer be in a frozen state, then wouldn't "unthaw" mean to "freeze" or even "re-freeze"? Would completely change the meaning of what one is saying, no? So, which one is it????? Yeah, I'm not a teacher anymore, but this kind of stuff still bugs me to no end!

oldest of 2. brother is 4 1/2 years younger. I'm the bossy opinionated one (shocker!)who was the obsessively organized overachieving student, but when it comes to everything else I'm the quiet, reserved one in the family. To be honest, considering all my dad's extracurricular activities, wouldn't surprise me at all to find out about other siblings at some point....
