Rockster: Rural areas by definition are sparsely populated. The comparison for the Iraq war involved the same children, infants, and elderly in the per-capita count as mine did in the county. Remember also that the cost per year of the reservoir over the fifty years is something on the order of $2.00/yr ... actually it is less given that the population likely will increase. Your contribution, along with mine and Whitey's will also be significantly lower because our cost is likely to cap out at $40 or less because we won't be around to pay for it in those last years. pubby

Suspicious Activity/PossibleAttempted Child Abduction in Northern Paulding County (Paulding County, GA) On Tuesday afternoon September 1, 2015 inside the Somerset subdivision in northern Pauding County, Deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity/possible attempted child abduction. Upon arrival, Deputies spoke with the complainant/mother who stated that a biracial couple (male and female) driving a gold minivan approached her child after he exited the school bus and was walking home. She further explained that the biracial couple offered the child candy to come over to their van a

That was $335/mo for the phone connection alternative. You might try uverse? ... It is just slower but it bundles service with tv. The wifi (unless you can get it from a neighbor who gives you a password in exchange for hot apple pies) is going to cost you $80-100 or so a month. The TV game with dish and the like, I understand, can be a bit of a bait and switch ...at least that is the impression I got from the comcast ads. What we really need is for the county government to activate the public facilities authority to market the fiber-optic system so that consumers can attach

I bet you supported the Iraq war, right, even though going over there and blowing stuff up cost every American citizen, on average, $6,250 and we literally have nothing to show for it (other than maybe some lucrative contracts for their oil that accrue to private companies.) So while you let that one pass you by, you are complaining about the $100 per person expenditure the 155,000 of use did in order to provide us with potable water for the next 50+ years. pubby

The alternative would be a 4-g service but with a 50GB plan (a typical netflix movie is probably over 2 gb) costing $335 ... you might find you child watching youtube constantly on an ipad (like mine) putting you over the top where you're paying the extra freight above that at $10/gb. I also wouldn't expect there to be any real relief and right now the cable company or maybe ATT are the only reasonable games if you're looking at even moderately heavy Internet usage. pubby

At risk of being too, too ... let me suggest a dome http://aidomes.com/tiny-homes/ These come as kits for the dome and would likely be a lot easier to insure (they guarantee against hurricanes as well as provide a shelter in a storm. pubby As I understand it they also have a sale on these pre-fab buildings.

As my head was twisting in this topic, I think I had an epiphany. That epiphany is that the reason it is not a hate crime is because most of the victims don't want it to be a hate crime. Huh? First, let's look at the players. There are the blacks, there are the women, the men, the native Americans, the Indians, the Polyneasians, the gays, the lesbians, the physically and mentally challenges, more (orientals, arabs, etc.) and the whites, which come in a wide variety. Just about every group is in the majority somewhere and in the minority somewhere and those in the minority are

This is why Republicans in general make lousy cops ... they know no bounds and exceed their authority without the slightest thought. pubby PS: The reference to Trump was simply a sigh of despair on the likelihood that anyone who has bought into the paramount status of individual rights over society - a common delusion of those on the right - would understand the point.

Wait a minute. The public owns the places they land both specifically and in aggregate. Do you by any stretch of the imagination even think that aviation would be the industry it is without government both funding and regulating it? The plain fact is that transportation, whether by canal (the Erie Canal was a Gov't project) or rail (The railroads were financed by the US Government through land grants and other means), road (Who built the Interstate Highway System, Tundra), sea (Who built the Panama Canal?) or air (who funded the development of aircraft, provides for its safety and places

First, we don't know the whole story. Why did the cop stop? Second, on its face the interaction in which one person asks for the identity of another is, under general custom, an appropriate act. ... I.e. If you were standing on the side of the road and I thought I might recognize you, I might come up and ask your name as a regular citizen. I might remark, if it wasn't you, that you look a lot like a guy I knew. I know you and I are over the hill TP but the fact remains men, in particular, come up to women whom they don't know and ask their name all the time. All that said, the law

I'm figuring it wasn't a hate crime because the shooter in this case probably passed a dozen or more other white folks on his way to shoot the two television station workers as he, no doubt felt that as an older, more experienced person he was being dissed by their relative success. As reported elsewhere, he no doubt did feel it was because these TV workers were white but if it were a pure racist thing ... well, I wouldn't have wanted to be a shop keeper in his way. pubby

What you're all describing is the problem with major hubs like Atlanta. By not only controlling the gates at HJ, the majors like Delta, are able to control the gates at places like Athens and Macon and "Topeka" ... because they won't let them fly here ... there is no room for them. What I think Brett Smith sees is a niche for airlines to service places like those with an airport that is relatively close - 35 miles of ground transportation - to HJ. This I think is what intrigues the FAA as well. Oh, and this is how it works in Chicago, Dallas and NY. Now I can hear the tongues wag

I think everyone is outraged. I also think there is a stronger link to workplace violence issues in this case than to blatant racism whereas the guy in SC, who drove to a notable black church to commit his crime against black people who were unknown to him was, while crazy, motivated more by his racist hatred than issues related to the workplace. So, with the insistence of most people that issues be simplified rather than dealing with the nuance, the preponderance of craziness in the shooting yesterday lies with workplace issues whereas the one in Columbia SC lay with blatant racism.

That is a good video. pubby

Yep, sounds like the Panama Canal and you think we're the French who started it in 1881. Of course we could be the Americans who started in 1904 and after a lot of hand-wringing, finally figured out that you had to build hotels, water systems, sewer systems and make the canal zone a reasonably safe and comfortable place to live - instead of the penny-pinching minimal subsistence housing and infrastructure designed to keep costs down as proposed by the International Canal Commission (a corrupt body that figured they could keep control for 50-100 years through incompetence.) Bottom line, th

Paulding school system account charged in theft of $25,000 (Paulding County, GA) On Friday August 21, 2015 Julie Taylor (W/F, 45 YOA)turned herself into the the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office where she was charged with one count of Theft by Conversion (F). Taylor, who was a staff accountant with the Paulding County School District, was arrested in connection with the misuse of county funds. Taylor is accused of taking a check and applying it to the purchase of the boat. The check, which was supposed to be used to pay money back to the school district for services that the s

Probably not back to 2006 SDN ... they may but probably not for local post commission elections, city and school board elections. pubby

What I've used as a strategy on this is to go back to the election dates and find the topic. We've had changes in the way the board worked (How it handled and interpreted html) and literally posted many of the results you seek in image form. It would take a significant investment in time - probably 40 hours all totaled - to go back and reconstruct the posts and update their structure to a form compatible for immediate display. All the pieces are there but I have higher priorities for my time. You could probably get the results you want from a visit to the voter office at the county

I thought I was covering that 'option' adequately with the answer: "Overall Corruption, misfeasance and malfeasance option." Indeed, while the choice of words is different, the concept was the same and so the answers would be redundant. pubby

The Pat and Patti Show is, for this edition, the Pat and No Patti Show where Pat Hughes and Deena Sanfilippo (PHDS) explore why PS left; note a story that the locals missed (A Paulding resident shot up Jackson Square in New Orleans); talk about Paulding's changing demographics - Get ready to move again Whitey - wonder about the announcement of David Carmichael and then explore a few names to see if they match the Ashley Madison site's dump of cheaters (Since Atlanta cheaters ranked #23 worldwide.) We end the show wondering about some other things and so figured you might know the answ

In the video, the person doing the dressing was not the 'owner' who engaged her friend to do the deed after the bird's years of service as a layer. Of course during those years of service, it had become a sort of pet. I would imagine that it would be easier for a friend to dress your bird. You might do the same for their bird as there wouldn't be the personal attachment. Still, old laying hens are the source of the idiom "she's a tough old bird" so you best cook an old layer long and slow. You'd probably also gift the layer to the friend because the kids are likely to freak if you tell

It is called dressing the chicken and it is the process of slaughtering it for food. Most folks who were around farms were aware of the process. Here is a video. I would assume some of those folks who are raising them may actually do this. pubby PS: It is not much different than dressing fish.
