I think that was a lada (Russian) diesel TP ... and good luck finding parts for that at Autozone I think that as relations and trade improves, Cuba will lose a lot of the charm these cars bring primarily because of they were pretty crappily-designed automobiles in those days - Oh their style was great but they are neither safe or efficient. The good news about cars on an island is that speed or really distance travel is really not critical. Something that tops out at 60mph and can go 50 miles on a charge is really all you need. I would think that the bodies of these classic cars mig

I'm totally unfamiliar with word press. Can you delete the image. And then replace it? Can you upload actual raw html? Can you edit the raw html for the image. Are you sure you are addressing the img to the right folder? There are so many permutations and because I've never used that platform for editing, anything I suggest would be speculation. pubby

try clearing your cache on the browser you are using. You may actually be changing the image but you can't see it because your browser is serving the original image from your cache. Go to options and find a menu item that says something like 'clear private data' ... check what data it is going to clear and unless you want it to delete 'everything' (saved passwords, logged in sites, etc.) choose only cache and leave history, etc. un deleted. Another way would be to install another browser and use it to review your work. Because it has never been to your page, it will show the 'new

I don't get it that you think I laughed at his losing his job. I didn't and I resent that assertion. But that is not the issue. The issue is not even that Candi Goldman's name didn't appear on that list of investigated personalities ... and neither did Patti and/or Deena or any of the folks associated with the law suit. It may be that some of those names may show up if and when the names from the other list is made public but Ms. Goldman alleged the investigations were of those bringing suit against the county and she was wrong. The issue today is that Mike Jones suggested in writin

Here is the wiki explanation of the commons. As an example, because we basically make paulding.com available to all to post, the idea that some people over use the site subjects them to criticism. As far as the use of the word despoil ... I thought it a less provocative way to say what I said. I would suggest that if we were in a race to see who lied the most often, I wouldn't even be in the game. pubby

The world climate is 'the commons' and the degradation of the environment is caused by a tragedy of the commons. In this particular case it is the dumping of excess carbon dioxide in the air and ocean. Now the reality is that we can't even keep people from throwing their crap out on the highways .. which is also despoiling the commons. It comes from our overblown concept of the rights of personal property. To wit, we think of that empty paper cup as mine and all mine ... and I'll throw it out the window of my car if I want to." pubby

Thanks for refreshing my memory on that. I haven't ever focused on Dwayne Cochran's bail bond company. Hell he never spent a cent with me Raymond Phillips is whom I associate bail bonding. I knew Dwayne had the bail bond company but I didn't log where his wife worked. My guess that the search was unrelated was done that day and maybe I'm off, but I think the extortion exchange was later that evening and because I think that the search of Dwayne three times and Pamela once on Oct. 3rd occurred earlier in the day. That said, I could be wrong but also I don't think that anyone - Mike Jo

I didn't perceive much communication there stradial ... some backhands and put downs ... but attempt to communicate ... naw. pubby

I don't know ... I don't typically keep up with things like that. That would seem to mean that the check was unrelated to either the airport or the extortion attempt then. Meaning it was a more common act based on what? .. Yes, meaning that it was a more common act. I could see having that kind of information available if you were entering into a contentious negotiation over property or ... ??? But definitely not related to either the extortion or the airport. I would disagree with the statement that "A government employee should not be running background checks with a cou

It may be that we will luck out if this is the case as the one trend counters the other. It sounds quite temporary. But the thing we need to overcome - and we are all guilty of it - is worrying no further in the future than the next quarterly statement. When we look at the longer term - quarter, half and full century, the proliferation of greenhouse gases and destruction of the environment remain urgent problems. pubby

Thanks for the link. As far as defending TP ... I was simply stating that like the game where someone whispers a sentence or phrase to one person and it is passed around a room ... it is invariable that the message is garbled. That is simply the nature of verbal communications ... and then I threw in TP and knew what happened. It had nothing to do with the report; only that he knew something was up and no doubt he garbled it. The oldest date I see here is Oct. 3, 2013 ... which was the date of the airport announcement and also the date of the extortion attempt. The part I

I haven't seen it yet. All I've seen is the text story you linked to. Patti said she recorded it and is supposed to send me a link. I understand that Candi again got a lot of air time... although she wasn't named (Although I'm told they didn't call her on it.) I look forward to seeing it. pubby PS: Patti said she was happy she wasn't 'named' ... and was kind of surprised ... and frankly I was a bit surprised too. I think I was sucked into the conventional wisdom that the name searches were really directed at those who were outspoken against the airport ... and by a stretch co

Here is another documentary on this same subject. I mean we had to have new laws to protect prisoners from rape in prison ... that humiliation literally being one of the expected 'elements' of punishment exacted by our society. Our prison system literally is a disgrace in part because the rules we commonly impose do instill the sense of power that corrupted the Stanford students in their experiment. For an example of how prisons that work are run ... check this link: https://www.themarshallproject.org/tag/how-germany-does-prison pubby

On the first point ... that is far from true. I had the screen shot of names posted by stradial ... as well as information from a wide variety of other sources. Patti, Deena or even you didn't show up on that list, I note. I agree with your assessment of Jamie. I wish you folks wouldn't use his full name. He wants total disassociation with the county and experience here. He was employed by a Cobb County firm, BTW and he quit that job too. pubby

Actually, the annual salary is about $22,000/yr which, with deductions for health insurance and other things would work out to $18-19,000 by my calculations. I actually ran for the office and looked it up at the time, BTW. He promised to return his salary for the first two years as did David Barnett. I agree, there is no missing money. However the misunderstanding of such a 'fact' is one of the things one literally expects when relaying the impressions of a story viewed on television. That is misconstruction of the fact based on the nature of the medium. I did understand that the $38,

First, $38,000 is two years commissioner salary. I also think that Todd 'gave back' his salary only the first two years of office (2009-2010) as the county's and nations economy was improving a bit by then. As to the allegations that TP did wrong in starting the story and misconstrued it ... It is a story as per the link to Fox 5. In regard the allegations that Jones was responsible for the identity of the man who was charged in his 'extortion case' ... that came from leads developed by the SO ... Jones simply had the phone and the number used. The SO went to the retail location whe

I saw him earlier today (Sunday) and Thad was looking good, quite alert and really, really wanting to get up and out ... which was quite frustrating given he is still tied to all sorts of medical devices. My understanding is that he's going to lose the trach tomorrow which will get him up so he can walk and be more mobile I suspect that at that point he will get more in gear as he gets more mobile. I know from discussions we had after his last hospitalization last year that when you are as close to edge as he has been, it is a deep experience that is challenging to the individual i
