Let's cut our legislators a little slack as they begin deliberations in the current session of the General Assembly. They need time to get adjusted. You don't just go to Atlanta and start passing laws. The first thing is to find out if anybody moved the bathrooms while you were gone because you might just find yourself in some bureaucrat's new digs for all the wrong reasons. That is very important.
Last year was rough on Liberty County. A Defense Department decision delayed - possibly ended - hopes that a new brigade would be stationed at Fort Stewart. Several levels of local government decided they could not help finance a new campus for Armstrong Atlantic State University in downtown Hinesville, Brewton-Parker College closed its Flemington campus, several businesses decided they had had enough, another deployment that will have most of our soldiers away for most of this year started and we suffered through the deepest recession since the Great Depression.
Usually, during the first week of each year's session of the Georgia General Assembly, the governor addresses a joint session of the House and Senate to lay out his proposed fiscal year budget and legislative agenda. Unfortunately, Gov. Perdue's "State of the State" message on Jan. 13 was long on historical quotations, nostalgia and sentimentality and devoid of any plans for solving our state's current problems.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab couldn't ignite the bomb in his underwear on Flight 253 on Christmas Day. All he managed to blow up was a worldview.
Monday, many people around the world will celebrate the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Atlanta-born civil rights leader who inspired millions in the 1960s with his dream of equal opportunity for all.

I read where Gov. Sonny Perdue held a pep rally at the Capitol for state agency heads, state employees and assorted bass fishermen to fire up the troops as he prepares for the last year of what has been a scintillating two terms as our leader.

If the 1990s were the decade when history ended, in Francis Fukuyama's famous formulation, the 2000s were the decade it came back and human nature exacted its revenge.
To Brian and Thomas Yarbrough and Nicholas Wansley:
Georgia is blessed with all of the elements to become a leader in 21st-century job creation and economic development. Schools in its University System and other colleges and universities within the state are among the finest in the country. Dynamic pockets of entrepreneurial activity exist throughout the state. Entrepreneurial activity is at an all-time high. But Georgia has a problem.
As we start of a new year and another legislative session, it is time for us as legislators to focus on setting our agenda for the 2010 session. The budget will be our priority during the session. Other areas we will focus on include transportation funding, water concerns, and ethics reform.
Not long ago, I was speaking to a group of high-school students when one raised his hand, declared he wanted to run for Congress, and asked what he should study to prepare. I suspect my answer surprised him. I told him to study English.
Janet Napolitano is impressed with Janet Napolitano's work. In an instantly notorious statement on CNN, the Homeland Security secretary said "the system worked" when a man boarded a Christmas Day flight from Amsterdam to Detroit with explosives in his underwear that he couldn't quite manage to ignite.
Lead-footed drivers may finally be forced to start slowing down. Georgia's new Super Speeder law took effect Friday, imposing an additional $200 fine on anyone convicted of driving faster than 75 on a two-lane road or 85 on a four-lane road anywhere in the state.
Here is a list of 10 reasons to be optimistic for 2010.
I am a rich man, a man of incalculable wealth.
Editor, Hinesville Military Affairs Committee's second Veterans Salute was Nov. 1 at Bryant Commons, 438 West Oglethorpe Highway. It was a cold and windy day, but that did not stop or hinder our spirit.
Show support for Marne Division Monday at listening session
Editor, The members of Hinesville Military Affairs Committee would like to thank everyone in the community who contributed to the silent auction held during the second annual Veterans Salute on Nov. 1.
This is a story I shared with some of you a couple of years ago, but given the well-deserved tributes this week to our veterans, it seems an appropriate time to share it with all of you. It is about a terrorist; an honest-to-God terrorist. Not only does he not deny the appellation, he's proud of it.
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have one of the most noble and inspiring missions in government. I accepted this job and joined this mission to better serve you - our veterans - and improve the delivery of the care and benefits you have earned. It is our privilege to serve you, and I have made clear that as we move forward as a department, we will judge the success of all our efforts against a single metric - the outcomes we provide for veterans.
Over the years, I've crossed paths with many who were extremely successful as well as some who were such miserable failures that, as Mama liked to say, they "ain't worth the breath they draw."
I recently saw a meme posted to a social-media site that said something along the lines of "Having children: Your way of showing the world you no longer intend to be on time - ever."
America Recycles Day is coming up this Saturday and is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products.
In September 2009, I wrote a letter to the editor that began like this:

MLP is real is an Ask a Pony Tumblr blog run by Sayer 09, along with a DeviantArt account where he always posts the contents of his Tumblr. It stars the main characters of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and a human Self Insert as he tries to live with them, while the ponies learn some things about humans.It started as a Tumblr about photographs edited by adding vectors of My Little Pony and having a simple plot as �Ponies learning about the human world�. The artist then shifted the theme of the Tumblr and started to draw comics about the opposite: A human trying to adapt himself in Equestria; it�s considered the best course of action, as he admitted that the comics started because he was running out of ideas for the photographs and didn�t want to close the Tumblr.The photographs are from his house or the city he lives, later edited by adding vectors of ponies and some shadows to make them look more natural. On the other hand, the comics are drawn by him and using vectors for the background (He recently started to draw the backgrounds and stopped to use vectors).The Tumblr uses the same style to the original cartoons with the ponies and other characters, while the main character seems to be done in manga style. Although lots of people would turn it down for being a self insert, it manages to avoid most of the clich�s and tropes that always show up in this kind of stories.

A week before E3, I posted a predictions post that featured the adorable (and adoptable!) animals of the Burbank Animal Shelter making predictions about what they thought would happen at this year's mammoth industry event. (You can read the full article right here to see the "scientific" techniques I used to make these predictions.)
The entire process was highly emotional, unbelievably satisfying, and one of the greatest experiences of my entire life. In fact, every time I go back and read the original predictions article I still get a little teary-eyed. I fell in love with all of those amazing animals and can't wait to visit them again soon. ACTUALLY I AM GOING TO GO RIGHT AFTER FINISHING THIS!
But now that E3 is over, how did the puppies (and kittens!) do? Did they make accurate predictions? Which animal was the most accurate? And was my ultimate goal in doing this experiment reached? Did any of these wonderful, beautiful animals get adopted?view full story + comments

Looking for any info on Lloyd and Lotta Hassmer. Lotta, born 1873, was the daughter of W. H. and Eliza Cooper, early residents of Sea Bright, NJ. Lloyd was born 1857 and married Lotta around 1897. They were the vaudeville act of Hassmer and Olivette, performing what were called "illustrated songs", and touring with Edwards Stock Company, the Edsall-Winthrope Company and the Charles K. Champlin Company. Later in life they moved to Sea Bright, NJ, then possibly to Long Branch. While I have proof that they were living in Long Branch in the spring of 1919, I cannot find them in the 1920 or 1930 census at all.

The worst bit about big industry events for impatient bloggers and readers? The game assets. Oh Lordy, the assets. An absolute landslide of screens, usually scattered about across, ooh, dozens of pages.
But not at DS Fanboy! Not on our watch! Because we wub you, readers, we've collected a big old stack of new screens for your viewing pleasure and placed them all after the break of just one post. This post, in fact. From the well-known to the obscure, we'd be amazed if there's not at least one game that appeals to everyone past that line of blue text. Mario & Luigi 3, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (right), Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel, Shining Force Feather, and Picross 3D is only scratching the surface, so make the jump!

Ford Motor Co. says it has temporarily shut down two light truck plants in Michigan and Kentucky.
The shutdowns come two weeks ahead of their planned holiday closings.
A spokeswoman says the move is part of the company's typical response to adjust supply to meet fluctuating demand.
The affected plant in Louisville builds the Explorer sport utility.
Transpark tenant, Bowling Green Metalforming, makes the frames for the vehicle.
More plant cuts are expected after the first of the year, as part of Ford's announced plan for a seven-percent reduction in production.

New Jim Brady Trio and New Booth Brothers debut at Legacy Five's New Year's Eve CelebrationWritten by SGN Scoops Staff on October 17, 2014 – 12:45 pm -
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 17, 2014) – The debut of the Jim Brady Trio and the Booth Brothers first concert with new group member Paul Lancaster will highlight Legacy Five's New Year's Eve Celebration, which will be held at Nashville's Gaylord Opryland Hotel.
Brady has spent the last 12 years as the baritone singer of the award-winning Booth Brothers trio, but he will now be singing with his wife Melissa and former Legacy Five pianist Tim Parton as the Jim Brady Trio debuts on Thursday morning, Jan. 1.
Paul Lancaster is joining the Booth Brothers, and he will make his debut with the group on Wednesday evening, Dec. 31. That will also be Brady's last concert with the group.
"It's extraordinarily rare that you get to witness this much Southern Gospel Music history in one place at one time, "says Legacy Five group manager and lead singer Scott Fowler. "To see and hear the Booth Brothers for the last time with Jim Brady, and to hear the new Jim Brady Trio and to hear the new Booth Brothers lineup all at the same event is really exciting. What better way than to ring out the old year and sing in the new year … the end of a season and the start of a new one."
There will be four sessions of this year's New Year's Eve Celebration event, beginning at 7 p.m. on Dec. 30 with a lineup that includes the Collingsworth Family, the Burchfield Brothers, Triumphant Quartet and Tim Lovelace. The Collingsworth Family will be back for a 10 a.m. session on Wednesday morning, Dec. 31, along with the Freedom Singers and Rick White.
In addition to performances by both the new and existing configuration of the Booth Brothers, the 8 p.m. session on Dec. 31 will also include Greater Vision and a Jubilee performance that includes the Booth Brothers, Greater Vision and Legacy Five. Legacy Five will be performing at each session. Then, the event will conclude with a 10 a.m. concert on Jan. 1 that will include Cal Reichnor in addition to the host group and the Jim Brady Trio.

This representative even went on to argue that there was no way he or anyone else could take money out of my account without my giving him a check number. I even hung up on him once and he called me back. I finally agreed to go ahead with it and of course here I am, on ripoffreport.
I called them a few days later when there were not one but two checks of $4.95 and one of $119.90 taken out of my account. I immediately closed the account as well. When I called them they told me that they could not put the money back in my account they way they took it out but would have to send me checks by mail. Of course I did not receive them in the 3 to 4 weeks they promised.
I again called and called every week for 5 weeks in a row but each week was promised that I would have it by the next week. However on the fifth week when I tried to call and what a suprise!! The phone numbers didn't work any more. They had given me three seperate numbers and I only got a person at the third one. This was a tele-check company but of course they couldn't do anything for me because they dealt with people who's checks had been returned unpaid. I hope that these criminals are caught and prosecuted.

b>EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it hasbeenmore than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist youproperly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to dealwith it,take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was.Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily faxor mail toyou the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it!Make sure theymake the Rip-off Report.. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

FTC Halts "Wal-Mart Shopping Spree" Scam
March 1, 2006
The Federal Trade Commission has won a temporary restraining order against a group of defendants running what has become known as the "Wal-Mart Shopping Spree" scam.
The order prohibits the defendants from making misrepresentations to consumers and from engaging in deceptive or abusive telemarketing practices, freezes the defendants' assets, and appoints a temporary receiver over the corporate defendants.
This is the first time, since establishing the National Do Not Call Registry, that the Commission has sued to enforce consumers' do-not-call rights, without also alleging the telemarketer has violated the Registry.
Regardless of whether consumers have placed their telephone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, they have the right to tell specific companies not to call them again.
The FTC's complaint, filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, alleges that the defendants cold-call consumers falsely promising them valuable incentives such as gift cards, "shopping sprees," movie passes, and gas vouchers, purportedly worth $200 to $500, for a nominal shipping and handling fee, in order to induce the consumers to disclose their bank account information.
Once the defendants have this information, they engage in deceptive and abusive telemarketing practices to coerce consumers to pay additional charges for memberships in purported discount buying programs, according to the complaint.
In many cases, the FTC contends the defendants harass consumers by calling them repeatedly and threatening them until they relent and give purported authorization for the defendants to debit their accounts.
The defendants also allegedly do not allow consumers to cancel the charges until they complete a recorded authorization process. In many cases, consumers learn about these additional debits for the first time when they are notified by their banks that the withdrawals have been made.
The FTC contends that Defendants operated this scam through a series of corporate shells in order to prolong the life of their scam despite large numbers of consumer complaints and law enforcement inquiries.
The Charges
According to the Commission, the defendants' conduct violates the FTC Act by making material misrepresentations to consumers, including but not limited to misrepresenting that: consumers will receive the valuable incentive upon payment of a nominal shipping and handling charge, the defendants are affiliated with the government or major retailers, and consumers may easily obtain refunds and cancel their memberships in the defendants' programs.
The complaint also contends that the defendants violated the Telemarketing Sales Rule, by causing consumers' billing information to be submitted for payment without their express informed consent, and engaging in abusive telemarketing tactics to obtain "consent" from consumers, including threatening and harassing consumers and repeatedly calling consumers, even when they asked the defendants to stop calling by making a company-specific do-not-call request.
The complaint was filed against:
1) Universal Premium Services, Inc., also known as (aka) Premier Benefits, Inc., of Orange, California;
2) Consumer Reward Network, Inc., of Canoga Park, California;
3) Star Communications, LLC, of Los Angeles, California;
4) Membership Services Direct, Inc., aka Continuity Partners, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nevada;
5) Connect2USA, Inc., of Las Vegas, Nevada; and
6) Brian K. MacGregor; Harijinder Sidhu; Joseph F. Larosa, Jr.; Pranot Sangprasit; William Thomas Heichert; Michael Howard Cushing; Paul P. Tosi; and Manh D. Cao, individually.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

March 12, 2010 and April 9, 2010 Meeting Minutes approved
Open Session
Please look at the tentative agendas that are posted online for next year. If there is something you would like to add, please let us know.
Thank you to CTS for the MacAfee issue. CTS is currently holding back any updates for 24 hours before pushing them out to the campus community to avoid another situation like this in the future.
Joe Moreau commented that SUNY Oswego was not impacted as badly as other colleges and businesses. No data was lost or compromised.
Jane Winslow commented that CTS has been hard at retrieving data recently lost.
Casey Raymond was concerned about how to help in the future and that more information should have been put out so that maybe we could have helped ourselves if we (campus) were more aware of what was causing the problem.
John LaLande asked how we made out with our appeal to Apple and the book store still being able to assist. After two communications with Apple and the issue/concern being moved up to the next level of management, their answer was NO. We could apply again next year if we chose to do so.

Ruffle Shell
This pattern is available for download for $5.50.
This pattern is also available in the book Light & Layered Knits, available for purchase.
Softness meets sophistication in this asymmetrically ruffled shell with angled armholes that reveal shapely shoulders. Worked in a tape yarn that combines both matte and shiny threads, this mostly-stockinette-stitch blouse is accented with a bit of openwork rib at the lower edge and a generous garter-stitch ruffle (worked separately and shaped with short-rows). This versatile top can run the gamut between sporty and classic—pair it with a pencil skirt for the executive office, then with a pair of distressed jeans for a night at the movies.

Leading University astronomers working to advance our knowledge of the Universe and help attract future generations to careers in science are featured in a unique photography exhibition.
"Explorers of the Universe" is a unique set of images by leading photographer Max Alexander - designed to reflect the character, fields of interest and expertise of both professional and amateur astronomers.
Professor Derek Ward-Thompson and Dr Haley Gomez, both astronomers from the School of Physics and Astronomy, are featured in the exhibition alongside such well-know figures as Professor Stephen Hawking, Astronomer Royal Lord Rees of Ludlow, Sir Patrick Moore, and many others.
Dr Gomez, School of Physics and Astronomy, said, "Max has really captured the personalities behind the big science questions with these photographs.
"It's great to show the public that astronomers are ordinary people from all walks of life, and above all passionate about what they do."
The exhibition will be officially unveiled on Saturday 23rd October at 1pm at the National Museum of Wales, where people will have an opportunity to hear from Max Alexander and University scientists about the exhibition and their work on the Herschel and Planck missions.
'Explorers of the Universe' was commissioned for the International Year of Astronomy 2009, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, and supported by the Royal Astronomical Society.
The collection brings out not only the very wide scope of ground-breaking astronomical research being pursued in the UK, a continuing legacy established by such historical figures as Sir Edmond Halley and Sir Isaac Newton, but also the valuable contributions being made by amateur enthusiasts.
Max Alexander is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and has had a lifelong interest in astronomy. He gained a Diploma in Astronomy at UCL between 2001 and 2003 as he pursued his lifelong interest in the subject. His interest in astronomy dates back to his childhood in New Zealand and grew after he witnessed the Northern Lights during an assignment in Northern Sweden.
Max Alexander said: "I hope that viewers will be enlightened and uplifted by this extraordinary, committed group of people, and what they discover about the Universe.
"Scientists need to have a higher profile in society if we want to advance our knowledge of the Universe and attract future generations to careers in science."
One of the members of the council who commissioned the photograph was Professor Mike Edmunds.
Professor Edmunds, School of Physics and Astronomy, said: "This exhibition is about the wonders of astronomy, and how the study of the Universe is still a very human endeavour. It echoes how all of us can be stimulated by curiosity about our cosmic environment. We hope the exhibition will both help inspire young people to take up careers in science and also boost public appreciation of, and support for, UK excellence in science and technology."
The images in the exhibition are available to view online at: www.maxalexander.com/astronomy

Its that simple, I read all about it on the SLV & GLD boards. But just in case these predictions don't happen in this millenium, I think it best to stick with the safest of the three--U.S. NICKELS. XSliquidity
Best part is you can buy nickels for a nickel and there is unlimited upside. So you have a free put at 5 cents. Bought several $100 boxes this week, and will add 1/week until I have 1000 $100 boxes. Also, once in a while you find a WW2 silver nickel in the rolls. They are worth $1.50 each.
First, I understand exactly the idea here. It's as if you could buy a 1 ounce gold coin with a face value only slightly below where gold is currently trading. If gold falls, you lose almost nothing because of the face value. If gold goes up, you gain because of the increased melt value.The problem I have when it comes to nicles is practicality.How much does each of those $100 boxes weigh? 20 pounds?So 1000 of them would weigh 20,000 pounds. That's 10 tons. The equivalent weight of like 5 cars. Where do you park that?I'm not sure about the volume calculation but I assume it would take up considerable space too.How practical is it to get a $100 box of nickles? Can I just walk in to any bank and get one? Or do I have to be at a big bank in the middle of NY City?
If you value your time at minimum wage or less and have the available time nickels may be for you.
Nickels still selling at a discount.
I understand what you are saying.But:(1) $40,000 to $50,000 of nickles would probably weigh 20 tons. So, unless you only have a few hundered dollars to invest/protect, how are you going to manage it? Where will you put them?(2) In a funtioning economy with industrial production intact, the supply/demand for copper and nickle may support the value of your investment. But in a crashed, non-functioning economy, won't there be plenty of unused cars, machinery, appliences, etc to melt? And at the same time, very little demand.
Imagine if you bought $2000 in $20 gold coins 120 years ago. XS
Yeah... $2,000 divided by $20/ounce = 100 ounces of gold back 120 years when $2,000 was a lot of money. Today, 100 ounces * $1,800/ounce = $180,000 which is a very poor man. So what's your point?!?
I have not lost one nickel!
Well, Im playing it safe.
Nickels are not currency.Go to the store or the court house and try to pay your bill entirely in nickels.You'll get arrested for either disturbing the peace or terrorism if you use them to pay a court house bill. A guy I went to school with is in prison because he paid a $250.00 fine in pennies and nickels.
If their not currency, what are they?
All in the next 5 years!!!
Our US Government pays $0.02 for each 1 cent penny made? I say get rid of penny's and my Great-Great-Great Grandchildren can sell my piggy bank full of pennys for a trip to the moon, a new house, a flying automobile..........LOL! Getting rid of pennys is one way our Government can save money....... and think of the collectors value on some coin that is no longer made,
every hear of the gold window? do you know why it was closed? gold was fixed for an extremely brief time. one can argue that silver was fixed for a while tho, and this is the meat of the nickel buyers argument. what they don't understand is that silver is precious. like gold, it's sought after in any form. instead, what the nickel bugs should be looking at is the copper in pre 1982 pennies. that's the market that nickels will follow. it's been 30 years and they're still only worth a penny. one will never be able to realize the "melt value" in a nickel unless the US gov ceases to exist or abolishes various laws (we know the gov is great at making laws, but they stink at repealing them) and some other fascist entity takes over. while i have no faith in the longevity of the federal reserve i have no doubt that the us gov will continue to operate for a long time to come.saying nickels are worth 105% of face or whatever, is the same as me saying gold is worth 7k an oz. both are factual statements based on underlying fundamentals, but both are equally meaningless because neither can realize that value. you can only get what someone else will pay.
I know.In 20-25 years you might have something there.In the meantime, what is the interest you are getting on your horde?
Good answer. I agree.I have some boxes. At least I trust where I put my boxes. Remington 870 guards them.
Mr. pheight- I've noticed you seem to like to respond to others messages and "correct" them but have had nothing original to say yourself, why is that?
