District Judge &lt;br&gt;Jeb  Fannin set a bond of $100,000.00 on Cook for the MURDER charge around &lt;br&gt;10:30  Wednesday"....Eighth paragraph, third sentence states," He, referring &lt;br&gt;to Cook,  had been transported to the hospital by private vehicle and was &lt;br&gt;also suffering  from a gunshot wound." Now this would  make most intelligent, &lt;br&gt;sensible  folks believe that these two individuals shot each other..I &lt;br&gt;realize that Mr.  Cook could have killed Mr. Hale for whatever reason and then &lt;br&gt;shot himself so he  can try to use self-defense and I also  suppose that a &lt;br&gt;"gunslinger fairy"  could have been on the seen and shot these two. and if this &lt;br&gt;is the case maybe  the fairy will return to plead guilty to the &lt;br&gt;shooting..With your theory, it is  apparent that you don't have any confidence in the &lt;br&gt;SPD or the Judge who approved  the murder warrant and set the bond.  I &lt;br&gt;personally think they know what  they are doing...If I am proven wrong, then I &lt;br&gt;will humbly ask forgiveness and  apologize. I hope a lot of folks will keep &lt;br&gt;both families in their prayers...they  are not to blame.....hope this answers &lt;br&gt;your questions.....Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a message dated 8/27/2009 8:46:38 A.M.

What if the &lt;br&gt;survivor's wound was self inflicted? Why not  extend your condolences to &lt;br&gt;both families and pray for them???? Correct me  if  I am wrong... It is &lt;br&gt;"innocent until proven guilty"...... Right?   Lets get the facts before we pass &lt;br&gt;judgement.

Dr. Lambert admitting he made a mistake on filing out the paper work,,witnessess saying the fight only involved one person, but as the witnesses testified, there were at least eight involved in the fight..one witness saw things looking through mailboxes...and all this was being seen under the cover of darkness..were there one, two or eight shots?  One person thought they got shot, but realized they injured themself when they fell down running from the scene...I believe this could be made into a best selling movie.  The only real truth and  sad part is that a person lost their life during this fiasco....all caused by individuals acting "stupid."  Based on what I have read in the Daily Home during this trial, if I were serving on this jury, I would never convict this young man of murder.....maybe neglence, discharging a weapon, possible assault, or even manslaughter, but never murder......It is this type individuals that makes Talladega look like Birmingham.  Were some of  these individuals raised to act "stupid" or did they stray from their raising...I undestand one mother went and got her teenage daughter and brought her back to jump on a person. Another individual who had been barred from entering the housing area, made it to the fight.....Is this what the future of Talladega will consist of?......Thanks to Chris Norwood for this excellent article.  Otherwise the average citizen would never believe this type behavior goes on........Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:06:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Zoom Motorsports excited about IRL coming to Barber Motorsports Park</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/sports/2009/dh-pros-0819-hbaggett-9h18w0350.htm#comment-15043810</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Isn't it great that there are intelligent, progressive individuals in position to know how to promote and create jobs for their area....it is a shame that we have a bunch called county commissioners, senator and representive that are holding up at least 100 jobs and the potential for millions of dollars to come into Talladega/County and even the state...I am referring to the 2800 plus  acres located in Brecon.  This land is just waiting to be developed as ordered by the federal government.....but the commission, senator and representive have done everything in their power to block the progress...including disobeying a federal order to deed the land to Lincoln....Election time is coming and I can assure these arrogrant, stick in your ear policitians, that this will be an issue and I will personlly work as hard as I know how to help defeat them...that is not a threat.....a promise.....with unemployment almost 12%, the development of this acreage would bring more dollars to our area and the state than the Talladega Speedway does....the park would be open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and would draw people from all over the world....Talladega and the surrounding cities deserve this opportunity to have something, and it  looks like it will only happen by "throwing out the bums" now in office.....Yes, I am still Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2009 23:30:18 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Ready or not ... school begins Monday</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-localnews-0809-0-9h08v1214.htm#comment-14859418</link><description>&lt;p&gt;The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:59:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Talladegan on his way to the priesthood</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/lifestyle/2009/dh-living-0814-latchison-9h13l0047.htm#comment-14820644</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Congradulations Brandt....I have had the priviledge of seeing you grow up in Talladega and I was honored to be invited to your trial sermon at Jacobs Chapel...I will always remember this great ocassion.

Central Daylight Time&lt;br&gt;Subj: Re: (no subject)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Larry:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twitter is a social network.  It is relatively new but is  sweeping the &lt;br&gt;country taking the place or much email, chat rooms  etc.   Its fairly easily to &lt;br&gt;do.  You just register and  open a Twitter account. Its designed to be &lt;br&gt;ongoing if you want.   Instead of signing in &amp;amp; out for emails and chat rooms or &lt;br&gt;Instant  messenger, you can leave your Twitter account open all the  time.   &lt;br&gt;People who what to leave messages or communicate go  &amp;amp; come and leave &lt;br&gt;messages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The way it works with broadcasting you just check a box when you  fire up &lt;br&gt;our UStream broadcast.  In addition to being available for  people to tune in &lt;br&gt;to, they can go to the Twitter file as well and view  the same thing. In &lt;br&gt;Twitter they can also ask me questions, comment on  what they are watching.  &lt;br&gt;They can key in what Twitter account they  follow &amp;amp; it will constantly &lt;br&gt;monitor those account for  activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to recent news reports, virtually all of  businesses &amp;amp; the major &lt;br&gt;TV networks are going to  Twitter.  It just helps expand our horizons even &lt;br&gt;further, pick up  more &amp;amp; more audience.  We now have had 880 different people &lt;br&gt; tune in to watch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I chatted online last night with Harold Timmons who is the General  manager &lt;br&gt;for the Chuck Wagon Gang.  I play a lot of their music and  they have been &lt;br&gt;watching and listening.   He is sending me some  brand new DVD's so I can &lt;br&gt;use them for filler material.   With  the new young members they really do &lt;br&gt;sound fantastic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, in the last couple of days, I have been emailing back &amp;amp;  forth and &lt;br&gt;calling these large Internet Browser organizations, especially  AOL about &lt;br&gt;getting "&lt;a href="http://larrybartonlive.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="larrybartonlive.com"&gt;larrybartonlive.com&lt;/a&gt;" more widely recognized.   What they all basically &lt;br&gt;told me is for me to be patient that it  gradually happens pretty much on &lt;br&gt;its own and that I have already done  everything possible to bring it about &lt;br&gt;other that buying ads on large  browsers.  I looked at some of their prices &lt;br&gt;and we couldn't  afford that. Its outrageous.  I did find page after page of  &lt;br&gt;complaints about AOL and the #1 compliant was the same thing we have to  &lt;br&gt;deal with:  its failure to rcognize web sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I stay alert all the time to anything we can do to improve our  project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James&lt;br&gt;rote:&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:19:18 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Help needed for care of dogs</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-talladegacounty-0813-cnorwood-9h12v4456.htm#comment-14812531</link><description>&lt;p&gt;+I realize my following comments are going to gaul some of you, but I have just talked with the owner of the so called "puppy mill" and have invited her to be a guest on my t.v. program,  IN THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE", this Sunday night. (No, I am not a relative or friend). If the lady will be a guest, eveyone who has trashed this lady based on rumors, are in for a shock....This is not a puppy mill as alleged, but a person who spends hundreds of dollars for food, electricity and supplies monthly to take care of these animals....Yes, she realizes she should have had more help and not tried to keep so many animals, but if and when you get a chance to hear her story, you will be surprised.  A lot has been said about her living in a single wide trailer...this lady and her husband, have grown children and grandchildren and  are outstanding citizens of Calhoun County, but purchased this property on Cemetary Mountain several years ago as a weekend get away...At some point they decided to use this location for their business..I would strongly urge the powers that be not to neuter or spade any of these animals until a judge permits this...These animals are still her property until a judge decides different..  Mary &amp;amp; I are going to give a donation to Talladega  Animal Shelter to help defray the expense in sheltering &lt;br&gt; these animals until the courts rule.. and all of you who are concerned,  I hope you will do the same..It is easy to run your mouth, but put your money where your mouth is. .I could share a lot more with you, but I hope she accepts my offer to be a guest on my t.v. show and let you hear from her the "rest of the story". Those of you who have made  some slanderous and defamatory remarks need to be careful...there are civil laws against this....especially when the remarks are "lies".and just because you hide behind a bogus name will not protect you......enough said.....now you can take me apart, because I am still Larry Barton.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:43:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Probe continues into alleged puppy mill</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-talladega-0812-cnorwood-9h11v5657.htm#comment-14758205</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Some of you have been waiting for me to "run my mouth" so hear goes...I have followed with great interest in this story about the alleged puppy mill....I know for a fact that the lady who owns/runs this facility is doing this as a means of making a living.  It is obvious that the situation has gotten out of hand, whether intentionally or times have gotten tough and she has been unable to sell the animals.  Having talked with folks really close to the situation leads me to believe that the lady, who was charged with 51 counts of animal cruelty this date and is out on $1,000.00 bond cares about the animals but impossible to look after more than 200 non-humans without more help or places to house these pets.  As some have suggested, does anyone really believe this lady needs to locked up for 99 years, then shot?  No one loves their pet more than Mary and I do and we treat "Dudley" as part of the family...I have been raised not be abusive to dumb animals that they are Gods creation and cannot fight back in most cases when abused.  I have always been told that a person who would abuse an animal, more than likely would be abusive to their spouse , family or children.  Some folks believe that animals have a soul and there will be animals in heaven. There are many scriptures in the Bible concerning animals.....some were eaten, some used as sacrifices, some were and still are worshiped in some parts of the world and the Bible even says that in the end time that the lion will lay down by the lamb...It also refers to  horses in Revelation....Meanwhile back to locking up this woman and then shooting her...Title 13A-11-241 of the code of Alabama is the law that this woman was  charged under...she could have been charged with many more counts than 51, and she could have been charged as a felony....the law enforcement officers charged her with misdemeanors....The bottom line would be if I were the judge, or serving on a jury that will hear this case, would be if she intentionally abused or deprived the animals of water, food and decent shelter in a clean enviroment, or if this situation escalated and got out of hand.  I would be willing to say that if a survey was done all over Talladega County of folks who have animals, there would be many cases of neglect or not providing adequate water/food/shelter. You who have an animal and permit it to run loose, especially in the city, are negligent and the pet can be run over and killed by a car.  Finally, I wonder how many of you that have jumped on this lady and want her blood and hide, have ever taken a stand against the murder of millions of unborn babies...called abortion.....how many of you writers have offered to adopt or help provide for so many of children that are deprived of food/water/shelter in our immediate city/county?  No I do not know this lady who has been charged, but it is obvious she has made a big mistake and will have to pay the price, either by a fine, incarceration or both...unless the judge has mercy on her and let her have probation.  The folks involved in bringing this to a head are just doing their job as required by man made laws....the Bible admonishes us to obey those who have authority over us....There are a lot of laws that I despise, and sometimes feel that we are fastly becoming a police state....until the people take a stand and demand changes be made, we will continue to live under rules and regulations.   Thanks for taking time to let me share with you....I appreciate eace one who has spoken out on this subject, and I might just take it up on my t.v. program Sun night at 8PM.      Larry Barton.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:02:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Funding main issue with Bon Air water lines</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-childersburg-0812-bfincher-9h11w0239.htm#comment-14694993</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Now isn't this interesting....the good folks in this area are having to haul water due to contaminated wells, and Commissioner Jimmy Roberson says the county cannot help them....they don't have the money.....A few days back I made the comment on my t.v. program and on the Daily Home blog site that the county is not in as good of shape as they would have you to believe....Now for the meat of my comments.  The county commission has had a deed to @2800 acres in Talladega for over five years and claim they  want to develop it.....they refuse to deed the property to Lincoln as ordered by the federal government....now aint this special?   They want to spend millions developing 2800 acres  for recreation, but don't have any money to provide citizens with drinking water....I hope the folks remember this in the next election and elect commissioners who care and make priorities..Tune in to t.v. r47 Sunday night at 8PM and we will talk more about the do-nothing-commissioners.......Yes, I am Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:44:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Mayor 'shoots back' on odor charge</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-sylacauga-0806-0-9h05v3506.htm#comment-14636178</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In response to Bush II....It is obvious that one or more of you up-standing Sylcauga citizens are liars.....Mayor Wright says one thing, Mrs. Curtis says something different, two councilmembers says there is a problem,,,you and your son says there is not a smell....why would anyone believe you or your son over these other citizens?

Too many business owners and citizens have contacted me and made me aware that there is odor coming from the plant, and I have a proposed concent decree, where the company admits they have a problem and are trying to correct it....in closing, if you have the BALLS &amp;amp; A BACKBONE  to get on my program and address this issue, let me know when you can be here.

I told &lt;br&gt;them my wife has tenure  now, so I can say whatever I need to - it's all about &lt;br&gt;the kids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also ran into one school board member and I told him they  need to step &lt;br&gt;up to the plate; the bathrooms at SHS don't have paper towels or  soap; he &lt;br&gt;said he would order some - he just doesn't get it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had to explain to him that the big picture is more  important; our kids, &lt;br&gt;teachers and administrators need to be supported if they  expect to continue &lt;br&gt;meeting AYP or, better yet, surpassing it - remember, the  ultimate goal is &lt;br&gt;to reach "No Child Left Behind".  This ranges from  something as small as &lt;br&gt;soap to better technology and ultimately, a new high  school.  For those who &lt;br&gt;haven't been in SHS recently, it needs to be torn  down and replaced.  &lt;br&gt;There's no sense in putting money into refurbishing  East Highland, or any of the &lt;br&gt;other silly projects that the City of Sylacauga  supports, when ALL of the &lt;br&gt;children of the community need better than they  have.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They'll be hearing a lot more from me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve Terrell&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Link to comment:  &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-localnews-0809-0-9h08v1214.htm#comment-14516513" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-localnews-0809-0-9h08v1214.htm#comment-14516513"&gt;http://www.dailyhome.com/ne...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;br&gt;You  may reply to this email to post your response.

First, for having the concern for the school and willing to express your concern...I recall the days when it was almost an unpardonable sin to speak ill of anything in Sylacauga....things have changed...thanks to folks like yourself who don't dance to the high class drummer....I have always been an advocate of letting the citizens know what is going on....whether good or bad....they pay the bills and are entitled to know.  Secondly, thanks for not being ashamed of who are and signing your name....So many love to speak out but are afraid they might be chastised by an employer or church member, therefore they give a bogus name....I would be honored to have you as a guest on In The Interest Of The People talk t.v. show..you can reach me at ExMayor2@aol.com.....Thanks again.....Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 09 Aug 2009 11:06:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Moody man faces capital murder charge in parents' slayings</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-pellcity-0808-datchison-9h07v1121.htm#comment-14464114</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Adrian Glass was arrested out of state, returned to Pell City and presented with a capital murder warrant.  Isn't this the same man that the police were quoted as saying that Adrian was only "a person of interest", a few days back and was concerned about his welfare? I am confused.  If he was only a person of interest a few days back, why was a warrant drawn up and presented to Adrian when he was returned to Pell City?  I was taken to task for pointing out that the police have used this, "person of interest" too much.  The citizens are not stupid...the police need to quit trying to deceive the voters...how can you believe an officer testifying in court that they knew Adrian was the alleged killer all the time, but were saying he was just a person of interest and they were concerned about his welfare....this is pure BS!!!!!!!  Maybe the folks in St Clair County  like this type policing....I don't.  Just be honest with the folks...they can understand and accept the truth....As I have said many times, even though I served time in prison, I have much respect for quality, honest law enforcement officers.....not police who like to play games........I am still Larry Barton&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:29:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Ethics complaint against York dismissed</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/news/2009/dh-talladega-0806-cnorwood-9h05v3354.htm#comment-14441571</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Under the new form of government that Jim Preuitt got passed, it takes all  &lt;br&gt;authority away from the mayor and gives it to the city manager....since it &lt;br&gt;makes  the mayors position only part time, he probably can do other things &lt;br&gt;now that he  normally could not do...the only way we will ever know is if &lt;br&gt;someone files a  suit for the court to decide...thanks for your concern and &lt;br&gt;involvement.

Is Jake doing legal work for the institute and the bank  and being paid?  Should there be an investigation at the institute?  ...do the citizens care that Jake keeps doing unethical things ?

Does this mean the financial picture is still "fuzzy"?   For anyone who saw our t.v. program several weeks back will  remember me saying I do not believe the county is in as good a shape as the taxpayers are being made to believe.  According to the figures in this story, there was @ a half  million dollars deficit in the different accounts..  If you watch the commission meeting on t.v.47 each meeting, you will see that several  of the commissioners look like they are either drugged, drunk, or just plain stupid....when citizens approach the podium to address the commissioners, when the camera pans on the commissioners, they look like they are in a daze....I don't know how long it will be, but I predict that the truth will come out and the folks will be made aware that all is not o-ke-dokey at the  court house...the law requires they publish a financial report in the newspaper  every six months,,,,in march and sept....this has not been done...they are in violation of state law, and the DA needs to take heed, before we have another situation like we had several years back.  These commissioners are making decisions behind closed doors...there is no way they can sit in an open meeting and vote to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and never discuss the situation...Yes, I am being negative, but it is the truth....and it will eventually come to the surface.....if I am wrong, I will apologize openly....everything I have shared with the taxpayers thus far either on the computer or on IN THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE, has come true..Each commissioner has been invited to be a guest on the t.v. program....they will not accept.....wonder why?  Are they afraid to face the voters with tough questions?.....Wake up Talladega County and start looking and asking questions before it is too late...........I am still Larry Barton.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lhb1</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:22:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Daily Home - Alabama can do better by its children</title><link>http://www.dailyhome.com/opinion/2009/dh-editorials-0802-0-9h01v2756.htm#comment-13869582</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for speaking out...we need more of this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a message dated 8/2/2009 9:48:10 A.M.
