Pubby,
Further, speaking of Emerson....you know, Ralph Waldo? I have been a huge fan and reader of his works since I was 16 when my American Lit teacher introduced me to his writing. I am not quite sure I understand your application of that quote in this thread, however, let's not forget the same man also said:
""The highest compact we can make with our fellow is, -- ‘Let there be truth between us two forever more.’ "" -Emerson

Pubby,
You have yet to address the cold hard fact. You have, however, now called it 'Blake blowing Todd off' in addition to an 'understatement.'
Call it what it was, a lie.

I am pro airport and not even close to being an Obama supporter - your theory has been proven wrong.
What I do realize is that "somebody's" position changed. Circumstances change, life changes, all kinds of things change in life including, but not limited to, people's minds.
There are a variety of circumstances and conditions that can change any human beings mind. If a human being is not capable of changing his or her mind, then I would become really, really worried.
I am not pro or categorically against.
However, the 'lie' I am referring to had nothing to do with someone changing their mind--it was a flat-out lie.

Pubby,
You are grossly misleading folks with what you are saying and here is why:
The airport has had an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) since 2010. Given that fact, if Blake Swafford answered Todd's inquiry in the fashion you are stating, then Blake Swafford LIED to Todd. No two ways about it. Todd asked the Airport Director a direct question and received an answer containing 'FBO.' Further, you state there were some other issues going on at the time with the FBO.
A commercial air service terminal operator is not an FBO--by any stretch of the imagination.
An FBO, by definition, is for the support services (hangars, fuel, tie down, etc.) of general aviation airports (to include business and corporate services).
For you to assert that Todd, by virtue of having been given a 'vague' answer, should have looked deeper, is bullcheeze. Plain and simple bullcheeze. Especially when 'FBO' was used in the answer.
You call it 'Understatement of the Year 2012.' If you had any amount of interest in calling it for what it is, you would acknowledge it was a LIE. Nothing less, nothing more.

Pubby,
It is hard for me to take you serious when you are discussing the morality of airplanes.
I am going to go slam my head in the refrigerator now.
That is all.

Pubby,
Are you even reading my posts completely? I have acknowledged what you are saying.
I am stil befuzzled.

Dang kids!
Get off my lawn!!
Heck, I am just glad pubby's estimation is not reality--my twenties were good, however, I wouldn't want to do them again.

Also: Four or Five when that happened? I am 36 dude. Try 14/15. I was in high school then. I remember it well.

Satellite:
If they were handling other stuff any differently, you could make that claim.
They don't. It was the same when they eliminated the drive thru windows for beer in the unincorporated county back in the 1990s (a move that put Patrick Lanzo on his increasingly out-there trajectory); it was true when they wrote a zoning ordinance in violation of the ADA (opinion) requiring all houses with more than two people not married living in the same abode - a group home - even an organized one - to be on a minimum of three acres and a whole host of other hoops; it was the same when they re-wrote the taxi law; when they put in the development overlay for Bill Carruth, the 911 center software, the purchase of radios for the SO, etc. all these things are introduced and passed the same day.
I know that say purchasing has been in discussions with the folks in public safety and had those discussions but sometimes, after the fact, I hear that there were key decision makers that it was not though important to contact and engage in an issue until after it had become law.
If what is done is, to take an analogy from school, "C" work or better, you probably don't hear about it. The people complaining are left bloody on the floor and everyone can more or less muddle through.
And I've been observing it for two and a half decades satellite.
Now you're going to come here and tell me that it is great to introduce the ordinance that ... oh defines obscenity in Paulding at 10:00 am and pass it at 2 p.m. that same day because it is such a simple subject. (I mention it because it was the law that carved out the loophole for Lanzo's Georgia Peach Museum and strip bar and, the week it was enacted, the style section of the Paulding Neighbor had a woman skiing in a bikini bathing suit on its front page that appeared to be in violation of the law.) Of course you were probably four or five years old when that happened ... is the way things ought to be. That doesn't need to change because it only looks like you're shoving laws down peoples throats when you don't like the new law.
pubby
PS: Glenn Richardson was the county attorney when the ordinance closing Lanzo's drive thru window in Draketown was passed. I believe he got the order to cease selling beer through it by 5 p.m. that afternoon. It was introduced at 10, passed at 2 pm and there were orders for him to padlock by 5 p.m.
Apparently, you grossly misinterpreted my comment--and quite frankly, I could have misinterpreted yours. I was agreeing with you that local proposals should be, just as you said, deliberate.
I disagreed with your statement about 'they shouldn't be condemned.'
I think you should probably go back and re-read exactly what I quoted from you and what I stated. Your response has be literally staring at my screen trying to figure out what on earth you are talking about (as it relates to what I said).

The current situation is basically just how business is done. Just as you wouldn't shoot a dog for not eating with a knife, fork and spoon, you ought not condemn a politician for voting on items with little public discussion moments after they are proposed. This is how they think government is done because that is the way it always has been done here.
This very well may be the goofiest sheeze I have heard you say yet. Really? They just don't know any better? Really? They are grown-ass men for crying out loud! Any human being with just a rudimentary understanding of the legislative process knows exactly what you get when you steam roll legislation through with little to no public input: Bad legislation and a pissed off public--and you know the saying--it is much easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
It the BOC was comprised of infants then your illustration above would make sense, but it isn't. They are grown men-most of whom have a remarkable amount of business acumen under their belts.
With that said, I wholeheartedly agree with your vision of deliberate government conducted at such a pace that at least lends itself to be, well, for better or worse, deliberate.

I tuned in late. What collusion are you referring to?
Will the video be posted for replay?

Where would you go on this web site to see the status of where it is http://www.house.ga.gov/clerk/en-US/HouseCalendars.aspx
I would look through the first readers.
However, you can track all of the legislation introduced or co-signed by Howard Maxwell using this link:

Just an FYI:
When a bill is 'dropped in the hopper,' it is a done deal. It is physically dropped at the rostrum or in the House Clerk/Senate Secretary's office. And yes, it is dropped in an actual wooden hopper with handles.
If this is particular bill/resolution (I keep seeing these terms used interchangeably and the fact is they are quite different), whichever is the case, has been dropped in the hopper then it goes directly on the next scheduled sessions first reader calendar. At that point it is moved to the second reader list and then assigned to a committee. The bill/resolution then has to pass a committee vote to move on the the floor of the Senate/House. Then, the Speaker must actually call the bill for debate.
I just want to kill this notion I keep hearing that a bill is massaged by anyone, especially legislative counsel, after it has been dropped. The only changes that can be made to a piece of legislation after it has been dropped are by amendment--and this is if the bill isn't engrossed beforehand. This doesn't happen often, however, when the author of a bill intends for the bill to stay intact as written, they can ask for a vote to engross--meaning the bill will be in its dropped form throughout the process. Otherwise, bills are engrossed after they have been debated, amended (given an amendment is voted on and passes), and passed by both the senate and house.
With that being said, if nobody has seen the bill or resolution, then it hasn't actually been dropped. If it had, it would show up on the list of first readers and anyone could go to the Clerk or Secretary's office and obtain a copy.
Of course, this is assuming the parliamentary procedures of either have not changed in the past few years.

My BIL has a USB modem connected directly to his computer for internet service provided by AT&T DSL. He wants to install a wireless router - do you have to get one of the AT&T provided units ($100 on their web-site) or can any of you point me to something that will work with his current USB modem, effectively taking the place of the computer and allowing other devices to share the internet connection?
TIA
FreeBird,
His best bet is to call ATT and ask them if they will swap his current modem for a standard ethernet modem (if they balk, tell him to say he is switching providers if they can't help him). At that point, he can use any wireless router he wants. If what ATT sends has wireless capability built in, it can easily be turned off.
I am assuming he is using Windows. Otherwise, I could easily set it up on Linux or FreeBSD using his current setup.

Your correct on the Small amount of Mercury to induce the Glow with Induction lamps. I would typically use them in outdoor fixtures that are really high up and need ambient lighting. I have not thought about the comparison between it and LEDs. This will be done at some point soon. I really think the best place in the county for them would be the Firestations due to the 400W MHL they use now and Induction is 1/2 the wattage, 5 times the life, 10 year warranty and 50% the cost of using LEDS or more. It definitely does have its benefits.
Let me know when. I do not recognize the "name" on here though so i havent a clue where to visit.
Hint: Bobo Rd.

Good start. You need to stop by my shop/office sometime soon....it has been a while.

Satellite I am sorry for your families loss but that was a neat tidbit of history there. My daughter goes to Allgood and we all LOVE that school. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
I could go on and on about the history of what was my family's land there--from the terraced pastures of the cotton fields my family cultivated--to the plethora of Native American artifacts found.
Thank you for your sympathies.

Is that who Allgood Elementary School is named for? Perhaps that is also why it is on Hart Road.
Allgood elementary is named after my great-uncle Roy Allgood. He was a longtime educator here in Paulding. Jacquelyn was my grandmother...she passed away yesterday at her home. She was an educator as well.
My grandmother sold the land to the BOE in 1997. The BOE decided to name the school after uncle Roy. The school is built on several acres of what was a seveal hundred acre farm that I grew up on. The farm belonged to my grandfather, W.O. Hart. The farm had been in my family for several generations and once included a civil war era home that I lived in as a child.

It is a LAN IP address inside our shop. The program, when engaged needs to monitor a copier's data page at a specific IP address. It needs to capture the copiers count data that shows me how many copies are presently on the machine. The information is currently presented on an explorer web page. That data would change after more copies are made if the page were to be refreshed. The program would need to be able to see the new data, compare that to the previously stored data and then show the value change between the two.
In short, I want to be able to tell how many copies just got made without having to count the sheets of paper.

AAhhhhhh. I think I have my bearings now.
I will PM you.

I need a capable webdeveloper that can write a program that will:
1. capture a data table inside a static IP address,
2. store that table, (on a seperate machine inside the Network)
3. automatically detect any change in that captured table data,
4. then produce a new table showing the delta between the two.
5. It must function in a windows environment.
If you have the skills, it should be simple. 150$ cash payable on a working demonstration.
Thanks,
Glenn

I am confused about number one: "capture a data table inside a static IP address". What type of data table? And what do you mean "capture...inside static IP address"? What is the source of the data? Is this a WAN IP or LAN IP?
I need some clarification before I can attempt to help.

I agree, of all the things I have to worry about, 'what if's' aren't on the list.
An avian flu pandemic in humans is not a 'what if' question. The question is: when? The virus mutates at such a high rate that it is virtually impossible to establish the genome quickly enough. The genome is segmented. Therefore, if someone is infected with two different strains of a virus, the genome can re-assort segments which would render a virus previously noncontagious as contagious. It is literally as simple as ONE amino acid changing in the genetic structure to allow H5N1 to become as efficient at infecting humans as its more common flu virus cousins.
Creating a vaccine is impossible at this point. H5N1 with the capability of passing from one human host to another would have to first exist. Even then it would be months before a viable vaccine would be available. The only thing we really have is Tamiflu and it only prohibits (sometimes) flu viruses from thriving in the infect host. The effectiveness of Tamiflu against H5N1 is still yet to be established.

I am not an expert...just someone who worked in the funeral business for quite a while.
The containers in the pictures are just plastic vaults. They are similar to Vantage Vaults (go google 'vantage vaults' in google images). Vantage is the brand most commonly sold by funeral homes and cemeteries in this area. I am sure most folks are used to seeing bronze, copper, or steel vaults. A vault is simply what the casket is placed in before it is lowered into the ground for interment. Vantage and similar vaults are made of plastic type material. They are the cheapest vault option--which makes them popular for many buyers. Also, they have a huge profit margin. The vaults are touted as being just as efficient as heavier vaults (of the bronze/copper/steel variety which are lined with concrete which actually seal under the weight of the lid. There is a resin in the groove of the lid which seals to the vault intself once lowered). They aren't as good..but they are cheap--which would explain them apparently being bought in such a high quanity.
As far as my source on Hiram High and flu pandemic disaster plans. Call around to some schools tomorrow. Teachers and Administrators have been briefed. It is no secret.
And just to clarify: I am in no way trying to push any sort of conspiracy. I will admit I didn't spend much time on the sites that were listed in the first several posts. I was simply hypothesizing why the government would purchase and store such an enormous amount of burial vaults.
Lastly, I would say to the posters who suggested cremation: Cremation is a slow process. Most retorts will only handle one body at a time. Further, it is illegal to cremate more than one person at a time. Although, I suppose if martial law were imposed in the event of a avian flu outbreak it wouldn't be any matter. Still, it would be an inefficient means of disposal; not to mention a strategic nightmare. For instance, pacemakers will wreak havoc on a retort. You also must pulverize the bone fragments that are left (most commonly referred to as the 'ashes').

Also (the last one, I think):
I have talked to some who are intimately involved in the poultry industry. I know the poultry industry already has disaster plans in place that renders HUGE flocks of birds exterminated (in a matter of mins/hours) in the case of a positive/verified H5N1 infection.
I think it only makes sense, with such detailed and aggressive disaster plans in place at so many levels, that the government would be prepared for the proper interment of human victims.
I have been reading about H5N1 for several years...waaaaaay before it hit any mainstream outlets. I think it was 03 or 04 when I first read several essays about it in Foreign Affairs. Most I mentioned it to passed it off as wild theory at that time.

I didn't think you were being a jerk!
I'm truely interested in your opinion on the matter. It's just dumbfounding ...From the surface...my previous post is my best guess.
I will add: I do know for a fact that GEMA and FEMA have visited local schools in the system and have briefed administrators on H5N1 disaster plans that are already in place. I know the best estimates from both of the agencies is that schools will be shut down in excess of 12 months. Hiram High School is already designated as a makeshift morgue for any H5N1 victims.

As the repoman who was creeping about my yard a few weeks ago (he was at the wrong house--all my stuff is paid for, however, he decided to accost me anyway) can attest, if it is past 'visiting hours' and you are in my yard and/or knock on my door, I will greet you with an automatic 12ga.
