  1. Pack/Troop BBQ is coming around again. Smyrna United Methodist Church - Buchanan Hwy ... whole butts, BBQ plates, 1/2 chicken plates. This is some GOOD eats, kids! First weekend in June. Mark your calendar and get your orders in early. They sold out FAST last time.

  2. sorry im so late in getting back, got sidetracked, we are not looking to purchase food, my store is wanting to offer our customers a discount in exchange for donations for local organizations, just something to help the community since so many people are needing help now, i will check around with the local churches and such to find out where we can give the food that is donated, if our plans pull through i will give an update.

    That's what my link(s) were about ... the first was a list of food banks in Polk County.

    And here's an article worth checking out (at least at first glance) link

  4. I really need to find a new doctor. My current GP practice borders on malpractice on a pretty regular basis.

     

    Looking for a doctor that is open minded when it comes to "alternative" options, actually listens to their patients, and doesn't way over book their day causing their patients to wait hours to see the doctor for 2 minutes.

     

     

  5. I've been a number of times in the past. This time it was just hubby and yes, those are his pictures.

     

    I think that perhaps the most moving day is actually the day of the law ride. Blue Thunder. The ride ends there at the Memorial and the officers seem to have their feelings much closer to the surface that day. Maybe it is because they don't feel like so many people are watching.

  6. Officer Legally Justified in Administering Distraction Blow on Gang Member

     

    EL MONTE, CA – An El Monte police officer was legally justified in kicking a car chase suspect in the head as he was lying on the ground at the end of a televised high-speed pursuit because it was a “distraction blow,” a police union attorney said Friday.

     

    Dieter Dammier, attorney for the El Monte Police Officers Assn., said the officer acted within his training and department policy when he delivered the kick.

     

    “Unfortunately these things never look good on video. Sometimes officers have to use force when dealing with bad guys,” Dammier said. “The officer initially came upon the suspect alone. The suspect hadn’t been searched and was a parolee and a gang member.”

     

    “The individual officer saw some movement. He feared the parolee might have a weapon or be about to get up. So the officer did what is known as a distraction blow. It wasn’t designed to hurt the man, just distract him.”

     

    El Monte officers, he said, “are trained to deliver a distraction blow to stop a [suspect] doing what they are planning on doing.”

     

    The decision by the officer to kick the head of a suspect who was surrendering has been criticized by use-of-force experts...

  7. When you say larger % do you know how much?

    Actual percentages can vary from organization to organization as far as the actually % of each $ that goes directly to any cause but it is a common sense assumption that national level donations get hit with national level expenses before trickling down to local levels. Also, it is extremely rare to find any organization that tracks where their national level donations come from in order to ensure that the money is spent in the same area it came from. If I donate directly to the Paulding Humane Society, I know that money is being spent in Paulding County ... not New York. ;)
