I can best describe what we are doing by saying what we are not doing. We are NOT making a follow up to wonderfully made or unfazed- tho unfazed was very successful. what we are attempting to do is make a follow up to the song Hands In The Air musically and spiritually. if we are making a follow up at all."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:05 UTC on Tuesday, 17 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see The Waiting (band) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

The conviction stemmed from an incident where Long forcibly carried a woman into an apartment during a domestic dispute witnessed by an off-duty Cobb County police officer. Long and the woman were in a dating relationship with a history of domestic violence. He chased her into the parking lot, wrestled her to the ground, carried her back into the apartment, and pinned her down. The woman eventually escaped using pepper spray.

Defense argued Willis financially benefited from the relationship, impacting her impartiality. They also criticized her remarks at a Black church, accusing her of playing the "race card." Willis denied any wrongdoing, stating the relationship began after Wade's hiring. The defense questioned the validity of cellphone records showing extensive communication between Willis and Wade. The judge is expected to issue a ruling within two weeks.

House Bill 1013, signed by Gov. Brian Kemp, calls for a referendum requiring seniors receiving the exemption to have lived in Woodstock for five years. The bill, supported by Woodstock City Council, aims to ensure fairness and sustainability of the benefit amidst growing city population. Seniors 62 and older currently qualify for the exemption without income or home value limits. Additionally, Senate Bill 388 proposes eliminating the cap on school property taxes for Cherokee County seniors, subject to voter approval in May. If passed, both measures would take effect in 2025. STORY 5: Thomas' Political Ad Deepfake Bill Clears Georgia House The Georgia House of Representatives passed House Bill 986, criminalizing the use of "deepfakes" to impersonate political candidates in campaign ads. Perpetrators of such deepfakes within 90 days of an election could face two to five years in prison and a fine up to $50,000. Exceptions are made for satire, parody, artistic expression, and journalism. Supporters argue that the bill protects election integrity, while opponents argue it infringes on free speech rights. The bill now moves to the state Senate for consideration.   Commercial:  HENRY CO SHERIFFS   STORY 6: INGLES - LEAH And now here is Bruce Jenkins conversation with Leah McGrath   We'll have closing comments after this.    COMMERCIAL: INGLES 3   SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

 A man was hospitalized Sunday night after crashing into a tree off Cobb Parkway in Marietta, police announced. According to the Cobb County Police Department, the man, who has not been identified, was driving a white Nissan Altima north on Cobb Parkway near its intersection with Progressive Way. The car left the roadway and crashed into a tree. The driver was trapped in the vehicle and seriously injured, police said. After being extricated from the car he was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call police.  A Kennesaw woman was killed Saturday after being hit by a car as she was walking a dog, the Cobb County Police Department announced. Veronica Miller was struck by a car and killed around 9 a.m. Saturday, police said. According to police, Miller was walking the dog and crossing Wooten Lake Road at its intersection with Glenlake Parkway when she was struck. The dog was not injured. Miller was crossing from the north side to the south side of Wooten Lake Road, and was struck by a blue 1999 BMW 328i, according to police. The driver, a 23-year-old Kennesaw man, was not injured. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police.   There was no way around it. A Sierra Canyon boys team known for its flash, for its highlights, for the celebrity that follows, was going to have to get gritty Saturday night, assistant coach Chris Howe said. The Trailblazers were taking on nationally ranked Wheeler, a team that Howe said, simply had "dudes." Two of those dudes, in fact, were playing at their future stomping grounds — seniors Isaiah Collier and Arrington Page, a pair of Southern California signees. But after Sierra Canyon fell behind by double digits early, its move-on-a-string defense overwhelmed the prized recruits and Wheeler in a 66-55 win — perhaps the Trailblazers' best of the season. The team down by eight at halftime, Sierra Canyon's staff "challenged" senior Ashton Hardaway, coach Andre Chevalier said after the game. And Hardaway — son of former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway and a Memphis commit — responded with perhaps his best all-around half as a Trailblazer, getting aggressive on the glass and banging down low with Page. It was his range, though, that propelled him to 18 points and a pair of massive third-quarter threes to pull Sierra Canyon back into the game, Hardaway barking at any Wheeler defender within earshot while backpedaling down the floor. And after a quiet first half, Bronny James continued to show an improved sense of the moment in his senior year, detonating for 17 fourth-quarter points. Collier finished with 17 points but was held by James, Isaiah Elohim and a horde of Trailblazers wing defenders to five-for-16 shooting. Page, who Chevalier called "the most skilled player that we've played all year long," finished with just eight points and seven rebounds. Before all dogs go to heaven, many dogs go to shelters. At an adoption event held by LifeLine Animal Project and Best Friends in Atlanta, a number of dogs — and one cat — were adopted out of the shelter and foster system to become family pets. The dogs were gathered — though socially distanced — on leashes outside the office of Best Friends in Atlanta off of South Cobb Drive near Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Most of them were taken to the event by their foster owners. An outbreak of canine flu in Fulton and DeKalb counties is part of the reason why the shelter system in the metro Atlanta is stressed. According to Vickers, the LifeLine shelters are diverting all new intakes to foster homes instead of shelters to prevent them from potentially coming into contact with contagious shelter dogs. Most dogs recover from canine influenza within two to three weeks, according to the CDC, though the virus sometimes leads to more severe illness. LifeLine is still adopting out dogs that are testing positive for canine flu to people who don't have other dogs. Foster families without other dogs can also help keep infected dogs isolated from shelters. Fostering for any amount of time, even over a single weekend, can help dogs find permanent homes because it provides more information to potential adopters about how a dog behaves in a home environment. Both organizations vaccinate, microchip and either spay or neuter their animals before they are adopted out. For more, visit lifelineanimal.org and bestfriends.org/atlanta.  Students and teachers alike lined the streets Friday afternoon to give a warm welcome to Marietta High's boys and girls cross country teams, who swept the state championships last year. 2022 was the second time in three years Marietta claimed both Class AAAAAAA titles, doing so in 2020 as well. Buses carrying the champions processed through west Marietta, ending at the high school. Declared one Burruss Elementary School student as the parade neared, "This is one of the best days of school ever." Students and parents held up signs supporting their favorite runners. People and businesses are responding to a break-in at a local eatery with donations and gifts. Two days before Christmas, thieves smashed the front door of Pie Bar Marietta near Marietta Square around 5 a.m. and left with a cash drawer and safe from the bakery. Owner Lauren Bolden discovered the break-in when she arrived at the store that morning. Pie Bar's locations in Marietta and Woodstock have seen a response from the community in the weeks since the break-in. Woodstock City Church bought tacos for the staff's lunch, Bolden said, while Woodstock Mayor Michael Caldwell asked people to donate money to the business on his Facebook page. Since the break-in, Pie Bar Marietta added some security measures, and it has operated without accepting cash. Bolden said the business is considering going cashless at the Woodstock location, too. Bolden wasn't sure whether the business had recouped the cost of the stolen money and the door replacement yet, but she said the support helped the business get through a difficult day. On December 23, the day of the robbery, several hundred customers were supposed to pick up their Christmas orders from Pie Bar Marietta. Those pies had to moved to the original store, Bolden said, and all the associated customers had to be told their pies were now in Woodstock. Vivan Gamel of Acworth, the general manager for both locations, woke up to several missed calls from Bolden that morning and went into work early to help. Gamel, who works mostly at the Marietta Pie Bar, said she thinks the majority of people who have come in lately have heard about the crime, and are coming in to make sure everyone is okay and support the business. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com            See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
