Being Part of the Solution
"Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their party". An old adage that still rings true these days. So, have you decided to be part of solution yet? Most people don't want to get involved and get their hands dirty. The few do, and have an enormous impact on the destiny of our party and nation. That can be you. What can you do? What can't you do is the better question.
Contact your neighbors.
The CCRP holds training sessions for precinct captains, walkers and GOTV phoners. When neighbors contact their fellow neighbors, neighbors vote. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where you can have a huge impact, so join the team in your precinct to register, educate and turn out the vote. F
ill out the
online Volunteer Form
and you'll be invited to the next training session.
Work the Telephone Banks.
Phone Banks are planned by the individual campaigns. They provide telephones, call sheets, and good camaraderie with the other volunteer phoners. The banter that goes around the room after unusual calls is priceless. Sign up to help by
filling out the
online Volunteer Form
and you'll be contacted when banks are set up. If you'd prefer to call from home, we support that as well.
Volunteer to Help your Candidate.
Become one of the team that gets your favorite candidate elected. There are always tasks that need to be done, and not enough people to adequately do them. Make a monetary donation to help pay the costs of campaigns, and your gift will be greatly appreciated. The costs of posters, signs, hand-outs, advertising, transportation, office rental, telephones, food and refreshments, etc, add up to a huge amount. Consider throwing a fundraiser yourself with a house party, and perhaps a rummage sale to raise cash. Find your current candidates on the
Candidate Page.
Vote and Tell Your Friends.
Vote, of course, and volunteer to drive your Republican friends to the polls if they can't. Throw a Victory Party on Election Night for fun.
Write Letters to the Editor and Speak Before Groups.
Some voters read local newspapers and handouts, so make a difference by writing letters of support for your favorite candidate. If you belong to a group that allows political discussion, step up and tell them why you are supporting your candidate. You are making a public affirmation of your Constitutional rights of Freedom of Speech.
Become a Candidate.
The CCRP hosts its twice yearly "Candidate Boot Camp" Campaign School. This two day seminar provides training to become a city, county, state, and national politician. If you would like to become that special Republican who works for the betterment of our nation and society, then signup for this training and become an elected official. Here are some of the topics covered: public speaking, city and county races, campaign finance, new media strategy, organizing volunteers, filing papers, fundraising events, fundraising strategy, and crafting your message.

This is a short video introducing you to McNett and our products.
Video that describes how to properly wash, dry and apply a new DWR finish to a down sleeping bag. Cleaning a down bag will reloft the bag to make it warmer and more comfortable.
In November 2007 Skurka completed the Great Western Loop, a superb 6,875-mile journey that links together 5 long-distance hiking trails, 12 National Parks, and over 75 wilderness areas, which he blazed in 208 days, an average of 33 miles per day. And in July 2005 he completed the Sea-to-Sea Route, a transcontinental network of long-distance hiking trails from Quebec to Washington, which took him 11 months and which involved 1,400 miles of snowshoeing. Skurka's shorter hikes include the 1,700-mile California section of the Pacific Crest Trail (in 44 days), the 480-mile Colorado Trail (twice), the 2,170-mile Appalachian Trail (in 95 days), a 385-mile trek through northern Minnesota in January, and many week- and weekend-long trips in Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming.

White Paper
Case Study: National Bank of Arizona
Executive Summary
National Bank of Arizona's 144,000-square-foot headquarters complex in Phoenix, built in 1987 for a previous owner, contains a beautiful amenity: Some 18,000 square feet of skylights allow natural light to flood the premises, nurturing an abundance of plant life as well as the busy employees and customers on the floor some 30 feet below the glass.
But in a city where the daily average high temperature in mid-summer is 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and monthly rainfall averages under one inch, a vast amount of unimpeded sunlight is a serious detriment to efficient, cost-effective cooling. So when the bank decided to take advantage of a comprehensive energy-efficiency rebate program being offered by its local electric utility, Salt River Project (SRP), finding a solution to the skylight problem became one of its high-priority objectives.
According to Dennis Calik, National Bank of Arizona's senior vice president of corporate properties, the bank's energy-efficiency makeover included the installation of a new 250-ton chiller to supplement the old one, together with the addition of lighting censors and new lighting technology. However, the full advantages of these upgrades would not be realized unless something was done to address the heat transmitted through the skylights.
3M Sun Control Window Film was installed in the relatively short span of two weeks, with no interior disruption. The film is estimated to be saving the bank 249,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which is enough energy to power approximately 17 average-size homes, according to SRP. Equally important, Mr. Calik noted that visibility in the lobby immediately improved.
"The total program has been a great success, saving us about 747,000 kilowatt hours a year," said Mr. Calik. Instead of running two chillers, the bank has found that, with the addition of direct digital controls, it can operate the new chiller at about 75-to-80-percent of capacity, even on the hottest days. According to SRP, the bank is saving more than $74,000 per year in electricity costs.

Sleep deprivation a real concern after daylight savings time switch
DICKINSON, N.D. — One week of daylight saving time down, 33 weeks to go. That probably seems like a long time to wait for the return of a lost hour of sleep.By: Betsy Simon, Forum News Service, The Jamestown Sun
DICKINSON, N.D. — One week of daylight saving time down, 33 weeks to go. That probably seems like a long time to wait for the return of a lost hour of sleep.
By Monday afternoon following the time change last Sunday morning, some people, like Kim Kaiser with Essentia Health in Fargo, were lamenting that loss of 60 minutes of shut-eye. "I do know I feel more tired today," she said.
"People can lose an average of 40 minutes of sleep during this time change," said Karla Smith, St. Alexius Sleep Center coordinator. "This may cause a fatigue ripple effect for several days."
The exact number of people who struggle to deal with the loss of one hour of sleep come spring is unknown, said Nikki Mills with Sanford Sleep Disorder Center. It is possible to gain back the sleep one loses, but it is crucial not to overcompensate.
"People can make up for their sleep debt by simply getting what their body needs and knowing what that is, usually between eight and 10 hours," she said. "It's OK to sleep a little extra when needed, but half a day of oversleeping is not encouraged because that can make people even groggier."
Sleepiness is just one of several concerns associated with the sudden change in time.
"A number of studies indicate that springing ahead to daylight saving time may be hazardous to your health," Smith said. "Although the one hour time change may seem minor, when it comes to your body's internal clock, it actually is a big deal."
The latest study in the March 2013 edition of the American Journal of Cardiology suggests turning clocks ahead for daylight saving time may set the stage for a small increased risk of heart attack the following day, Smith said.
"The findings published in the study showed a small rise in heart attack rates the Sunday following the shift to DST," she said. "However, the study showed a small tick downward the Sunday following the change back to standard time, when you gain an hour. Given that heart attacks appear to increase following the shorter night, it is reasonable that sleep deprivation may be to blame.
"There are numerous studies showing the adverse health effects of sleep deprivation, but the studies involving one-hour time changes point to just how sensitive your body is to seemingly insignificant changes in your diurnal rhythms."
Smith said time change can throw off "the body clock" because there is sleep loss due to the increased daylight.
"Ongoing effects of sleep loss can be in the form of hormone shifts," she said. "For example, metabolic hormones like insulin could be affected, causing less insulin to be secreted, which in turn causes increased blood sugars. Heart attacks, car crashes and suicides all tick up after we spring ahead. The scientific research paints a disturbing picture of what the 'extra' hour of daylight may be costing us."
To lessen the effects of sleep loss, Smith recommends that people get regular exercise, get into a sleep routine but avoid spending more time in bed than necessary, and create an environment conducive to sleeping.

Please call for the best quote on the cheapest car hire in Brazil.
The draw of Brazil as a holiday location for its exotic culture, festivals, beautiful countryside and the city of Brazils lively shopping and entertainment is growing all the time. As flights get cheaper and people become more and more adventurous in their choices of destinations, Brazil is becoming a hugely popular holiday spot. The sheer size of the city alone means that transportation is a must if you want to see even a fraction of what it has to offer.
For most travellers to Brazil, whether they want to stay in the city or venture out into the more remote areas to see the less spoilt aspects of the country, choose to rent a car. The easiest way to obtain a car is to pick one up on arrival at the airport where many international car rental firms will be happy to help you in selecting the right vehicle for you. With the popularity of the country continually growing it is advisable to book your car rental in advance. Many tourists arrive with exactly the same plan to rent a car to fully explore during their stay and if you do not book in advance it can result in not being able to get the car that you want. The Internet is a great solution for booking your car rental and you can find some great deals by booking in advance and ensuring that the car that you want is available as soon as you arrive. One necessity you cannot afford to be without is air conditioning; Brazil climate is hot and humid! Once you have picked up your car you can fully enjoy all that Brazil has to offer and have the trip of a lifetime!

Jeffery Tobias Halter is a 'Y' Chromosome that 'Gets Women.'
YWomen is a Strategic Consulting Company Focused on Helping Men (i.e. Y Chromosomes) and Women to Understand and Unleash the Power of Women in Organizations.
"Getting Leadership to talk about Women is about as uncomfortable as a guy wearing Women's Shoes. My goal is to help Organizations to 'Get Women' and build a solid integrated leadership plan without having to walk in their Shoes."
Jeffery Tobias Halter is the leading 'Male' Expert in helping Organizations to understand Women. Jeffery draws on more 30 years of experience in Sales, Marketing, Executive Development, Talent Management and Diversity Strategy. His skill set is truly one of a kind!
Most organizations charged with implementing a women's leadership program have no idea how to go about it — and honestly — they really don't want to have to deal with "women's issues." When organizations simply view women's initiatives as a 'nice thing to do', these programs almost always fail.
What many executives don't understand is that Unleashing the Power of Women is the very key they're searching for in their efforts to increase productivity, passion and effectiveness in the workplace. Until organizations truly understand the Business Case for women, from a marketplace and workplace standpoint, organizations will never truly Unleash the Power of Women.
Jeffery Tobias Halter knows how to lead other "Y Chromosomes" in empowering their female employees to achieve their highest levels of productivity, experience greater job satisfaction, improve retention rates in key roles.
"Organizations will never drive systemic change regarding women until they have men's buy-in. We need more 'Y' Chromosomes who GET IT!"
—Jeffery Tobias Halter

I asked for your help in putting together a mailbag, you graciously answered with lots of good questions.
Now, it's my turn to answer. Just a few days until Georgia Tech starts the season against S.C. State at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Here are your questions (mostly unedited) in bold, and my answers in plain text. Enjoy.
I haven't heard much about the Jackets special teams so far. What's going on with those teams? Should we assume Jerrard Tarrant will be returning punts and Orwin Smith will return kickoffs? Have they worked out anybody else (i.e. incoming freshman or RS freshman) at the special team skill positions? BJ Bostic perhaps?
Tarrant will return punts this season, something he did very well last season with two returns for TDs. Smith will return kicks, something he did very well last season. Don't be surprised if Bostic gets on the field as kick-returner.
What's the update on Chris Jackson the transfer from Alabama. I heard he was injured but I never heard the extent of the injury or when he might be back.
Jackson has a torn hamstring. He will not be back this season. He has two seasons remaining after this.
Of the two safeties in the 3-4 scheme – how is GT determining who is the "strong" safety and who is the "free" safety of the group? Will they be playing a "field" CB and a "Boundary" CB or will they be just LCBs and RCBs? Who will be the "Mike" LB, the "Jack" LB, the "Sam" LB, and the "Will" LB? Are the DEs going to flip-flop (strong or weak), or is there going to be a LDE and a RDE?
All those positions, within their groups, are somewhat interchangeable.
Are the GT students planning another Stadium White Out this year? and when is it?
N.C. State on Sept. 25 will be the white out game. Kickoff is TBA.
How many teams on the schedule have extra time to prepare for GT this season?
S.C. State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, N.C. State and Georgia. Some have an extra week, some extra days.
Will the shotgun be used this year at all, and will we be able to run from it as well as pass as other teams do. It seems to me that running from the shotgun, if we plan on using it, will be mandatory in order to keep the defense honest.
I think you will see some shotgun this season, but I'm not sure when. We've heard hints, saw some instances in the spring. It'll be interesting to see.
Any word on McCoy? I heard he was not in classes so that does not look good as far as helping this season. Just wondering if there was more to the injury that took him out in the first place. Any word on who will handle field goals? Last but not least with Chris Jackson out this season does he have two or three years of eligibility left?
McCoy could be cleared to practice at any point. A smart young man, he has been in classes. Scott Blair will handle field goals. As for Jackson, see above. Two seasons left after this season.
I was wondering about Daniel McKayhan. Is he still with the program, & if so, have the injuries at WR & his play elevated him up the depth chart?
He is slotted to return kicks, but didn't crack the two-deep at WR.
What will be the bigger improvement on defense: scheme or the fact that our front seven is almost 10 pounds bigger per man this year?
I'm surprised that it took this many questions before we received one about weight. I think scheme will make the bigger difference. I think this scheme fits well with Tech's talent, particularly at linebacker, which has a lot of athletes.
What player will be surprise impact player this year?
My guess is Richard Watson, what say you?
Maybe someone who is not preseason all ACC, but will be by end of the year.
This may not be a surprise, but I think Roddy Jones is going to have a great year. Last year was individually disappointing for Jones, who saw his production almost halved when compared to the 2008 season. The broken wrist sustained during the spring really hampered him.
Defensively, I think Steven Sylvester could become a force on defense, as will Kyle Jackson.
Who are they looking to substitute into the game in the their nickel package? Dime package?
Rashaad Reid and Rod Sweeting, I believe, will be the nickel and dime guys. But that's more of an educated guess on my part.
Rumor has it we may wind up in the Chick Filet Kickoff next year or the year after and that word will be coming down shortly, supposedly with a Big 12 team but I have heard one or two say a Pac 12 team. Are you hearing any of these rumors??
I have heard this and looked into it. As of three weeks ago, there's nothing to it. However, I'll inquire again this week. The Chick-fil-A people have had ESPN on hand for two consecutive seasons, which will now be three. I'm sure they would like to add a fourth. Who would draw well with Georgia Tech that would get the nation's attention? Oregon? Oklahoma? Notre Dame? USC? And is next year, with no Nesbitt, no Allen, no Jefferson, no Barrick, no Bedford, no Butler, among others, the year that the Jackets want to play that game?
Also, is running two separate offensive lines a possibility? Or will we substitute as normal? I would have to think it would be weird to have two centers snapping to Joshua during the course of a game. Who are the best blocking AB's and WR's?
Running two lines is a possibility. Of course, Johnson broached that possibility before last season and it didn't happen for a variety of reasons. I doubt it happens this year. The best blockers are the ones in the starting lineup: Roddy Jones and Embry Peeples, Stephen Hill and Kevin Cone.
Alright guys, thanks for the fun.
Let me ask you this, are there any specific kinds of blog topics that you would like for me to do on a weekly basis now that the season has started?

GO JACKETS!!! Lets get this thang started!
Oh Doug, maybe a story on the Marketing approach this year and if any fun things for the fans to participate in during the games. I really liked the Kazoos that gave the sound of a SWARM. We need something to enhance the experience.

The actual count is 27 national championships. Due to southern bias and jealousy of GT over the decades, many of these titles have been given to others. But don't let anyone fool you. Even if a mountain town's paper declared a school national championship back in 1945, it counts.

Weekly blog idea: What about a weekly overall, offensive and defensive MVP chosen by you? You could blog the reasons why. Maybe you could add a special teams MVP to that also. I think this would provide some blogger fodder.

I say play the Chick Fil A Kick off Classic any year any time. Do not back down just because we are losing talented seniors. In 2008, we tied the Coastal with a new coach, new offense and freshman and sophomore starters. I am sure CPJ feels the same way. Toe meet Leather, let's play it now

Hey Doug, Couple of items for a "weekly blog" entry: (1) GT has done very well the past two years in national rankings for YPG, Rushing yards, points per game, Big plays, etc. I think a Monday blog with GT's national standing in these 3-5 statistical areas would save me an online research trip into the NCAA Data Warehouse. Likewise, maybe add the team goal or two that deal with trackable stats … so that we know how the team is tracking on THOSE goals through the season as well.
August 29th, 2010
10:32 pm
Illogical. You bugs have only won 1/2 of a NC, in 1990. Have fun in the Almost Competitive Conference and too bad you're still not the best football team in your own state (and soon probably your own city). Now stop passing gas and get back to your jobs at the QuikTrip.

Tech Fans!!!!
Turn to the Steeler's game.
Dwyer is doing great!!!!
Carried the defense for 10 plus yards! Plat of the day!!!

The "Diesel" had 12 carries for 89 yards. So much for the Dawgtards and their "won't work in the NFL b.s."
August 29th, 2010
11:29 pm
Doug – I wanted to send a thanks for doin a great job keeping us updated on Tech in the off season.
Oh and I see Richard Watson's like 4th team, so much for my prediction.
As far as weekly post – how about a extended Paul Johnson interview each week. cover last weeks game and upcomein game
August 29th, 2010
11:34 pm
I would like to find out if any teams are doing anything extra to prepare for our offense. Also, I would like to know what new stuff we will be adding to the defense as it happens throughout the season.
Go Jackets!

August 30th, 2010
12:05 am
I'm still saying that the bigger size of the D-line and LBs will make a huge impact. But, I agree w/ Doug that the scheme might help out the LBs too. I see more stops for Tech on third and short than we had last year.
August 30th, 2010
12:28 am
I'll be happy with 7 or 8 wins as long as nobody spray paints my butt.
August 30th, 2010
12:31 am
With extra time to prep, UNC, VT, and UGA will give us fits, and Clemson and Miami "owe" us some payback…. Still, looking forward to some good games and hoping for the best.
August 30th, 2010
12:32 am
I'd love to see us stop scheduling schools like SC State, Jax State, etc. We still end up with 6 away games this year.

August 27th Washaun Ealey has been suspended for at least the Sept. 4 opener against Louisiana-Lafayette after an early-Friday arrest for hit-and-run of a parked vehicle and driving with a suspended license.
Yes, you read tjat correctly; hit & run AND driving with a suspended license.
August 30th, 2010
6:43 am
I wonder if WA_SHAN would have pulled his trick for most any other team in the country , would he be suspended for only one game? He is getting off lightly because he is one infraction out of many for the woofers. (You can't do away with the entire team)! The entire BULLDAWG NATION, would have to do something else this season. Have you looked at the area around their football stadium? Or have you seen our stadium , after the nation has trashed it ?They could spend the spare time cleaning up and going to AA meetings. Whats next for the nation….stay tuned…

Anyone see Dwyer rolling last night? Especially you ugatards that were bad mouthing him! He had 80 yards on 10 rushes at one time. The announcer said he was going to have to adjust to the prostyle O, but quickly retracted his statement!

Doug, sometimes an interesting topic is raised on the weekly radio show and there isn't enough time for Coach Johnson and Wes to discuss it at length. I would love to see some future blog columns delve into the more interesting topics. I believe you did this in some of last season's posts and the extra detail was appreciated.
Thanks for you work covering the team. Go Jackets!
August 30th, 2010
9:22 am
Good morning Doug, thanks for the informative news and thoughts on the Jackets, great info, keep up the good work.( thanks for also letting us know about the teams that have more than a week to prepare for TECH, those are some of the main teams we have to look out for and add a little more to game)
August 30th, 2010
9:30 am
Let's hear it for Matt Kuchar.
August 30th, 2010
9:39 am
Dwyer had better stats then CJ Spiller, but Dwyer was running behind 3rd team line against 3rd team D.
Hat off the Kuchar, love how he always plays with a smile, like he's really enjoying the game.
August 30th, 2010
9:50 am
I echo Delbert D. and BigTime regarding Kuch. His shot on the playoff hole to set up the winning putt was nothing short of phenomenal. But where on this site has that even been reported? If I hadn't seen it live on TV, I wouldn't know about it.
August 30th, 2010
9:56 am
Nerds….I knew you couldn't go more than a half page worth of comments without mentioning Georgia ("dawgtards", "ugatards", "mutts"). Your insecurity is why your fans are the laughing stock of America. Do you really want to compare NFL ers from each school?
August 30th, 2010
9:58 am
Funny, it's apparent even to the most ignorant that YOU are the insecure one. Otherwise, why are you on a Tech blog posting crap?
August 30th, 2010
9:59 am
If Ealey "had pulled that stunt" at any other college it would have been a non issue. It would have been play as normal. You probably would have to beat up a whole bunch of ladies to get suspended for a half game at Nerdland!
August 30th, 2010
10:02 am
supersize that order, mutt,
You can dish it out but not take it. Clever handle BTW. How long did it take to come up with that? Having that as your handle is proof that you are insecure and need to include UGA to be relevant. Why not a pro-GT handle instead of an immature jab at a rival?
August 30th, 2010
10:06 am
Funny, the reason I currently use that handle is because of jackasses like you who are so obsessed with GT sports that they would rather post on GT blogs than on their own. I don't need to include THUGa to be relevant, because even in the SEC THUGa is totally irrelevant. And to answer your previous question regarding Ealey, if he had pulled that stunt at any school where ethics is more important than winning, he would definitely have been suspended for more than one game—not to mention a totally irrelevant game.
August 30th, 2010
10:18 am
uh, super dummy,
check your own players and their assault record. Tell me again about Hall's suspension/ lack there of. Stiil got "mutt" in your handle? Your maturity level is shrinking!!!!!
August 30th, 2010
10:23 am
FUNNY you dawgs are so stupid with the RING thing and Hall think. Hall had charges reduced because he didn't hit his girlfriend. He was leaving. He pushed her off him and slamed the door upon exit. HE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE A BAD SCEEN. Tech was getting the RINGS before the UGA was even played, but after winning in Athens the Seniors wanted to put the Drought breaking score on the ring. If you have care so much about Tech football at least get the fasts before you bark your white painted butt. off on the blogs.
August 30th, 2010
10:28 am
Slippery when Wet 5150. ,
Do you really believe that? That is EXACTLY what I am talking about……Had that happened in Athens, Hall would have been dismissed from the program.
August 30th, 2010
10:31 am
Why is Tarrant still on the team? Why did Tech allow R. Houston to continue playing?
August 30th, 2010
10:35 am
Funny, yes, we do believe that, because it was printed in the paper. Charges against Hall were either reduced or dropped. And Tarrant's charges were proved to be false and therefore dropped. What Houston did was after he left Tech. Richt only kicks guys off the team because the pressure is so great that he has no choice. Otherwise, it's just like with Ealey—a meaningless one-game suspension. Stuff that in your red panties and smoke it.
August 30th, 2010
10:36 am
Funny, I guess all you mutts are really proud of THUGa being named number 1 party school in the country and soon to be winner of the Fulmer Cup.
August 30th, 2010
10:39 am
Slippery, you are only partly correct. The rings were part of the "prize package" given to the participants in the Chik-Fil'A Bowl. The players DID, however, vote to put the score of the THUGa game on the rings. That makes a helluva lot more sense than retiring the number of a player whose only claim to fame was scoring the winning TD against Tech in 1957 to end their 8 year drought against Tech.
August 30th, 2010
10:41 am
"red panties"?….you sure are proving your manhood and maturity level. You probably believe everything you see on the internet too huh? BTW, Houston was busted before his eligibility expired and PLAYED after his arrest!!! Tarrant missed a whole SEASON dip wad after his arrest but was let back on the team!! Hall beat up his girlfriend- there simply is NO excuse for that!! Trying to have a conversation with you is pointless. Did you even read your prior posts? They make ZERO sense as you did not explain one thing. Maybe you and Mr. Slippery can talk to each other because you have about the same mental capacity – ZERO!!
August 30th, 2010
10:43 am
Charges against Tarrant were dropped.
And you really believe that Hall would have been kicked off the team??? Doing the things he was charged with are considered normal up there in Athens.
St. Richt always does his suspensions for the non-conference games so that he won't be without his star players. Do you think he wouls have given Ealey a 2 game suspension so he would miss the SC game?? He probaly would have made it 2 games – Louisiana Lafayette and Idaho State.
August 30th, 2010
10:43 am
Thanks Doug, you do a GREAT job.
August 30th, 2010
10:45 am
No one is proud of that fact at UGA. I'm just trying to make a point about those things happening all over the place and your beloved institute is not immune from behavioral problems. Matter of fact, the actions by Tech players is tolerated MORE at Nerdland.
August 30th, 2010
10:49 am
yeah, I do believe he would have been kicked off the team in Athens. Montrez Robinson was booted for a VERY similar offense. Tarrant would of been kicked off the team also. Face it; you Nerds want to have it both ways- Kick the UGA player off the team and put them in jail for a misdemeanor traffic violation and allow the Tech players to play without suspensions for assault and felonious drug charges…. HYPOCRITS REIGN SUPREME IN NERDLAND!!!!!!
August 30th, 2010
10:54 am
Funny, you are correct that Tarrant had to sit out a year because of the charges, BUT THE CHARGES WERE COMPLETELY DROPPED. That is why he is now playing. He was the victim of somebody making false charges just like the Duke Lacrosse players. And the charges against Hal were dropped (or at least reduced) too, because the claim was never substantiated. I believe Slippery already cleared that up. If you can read, you should have known that already anyway. How can you claim that behavior problems are tolerated more at Tech? How many THUGa players have been arrested in the past 12 months? How many Tech players have been arrested in that same time period. THUGa has NEVER NEVER NEVER properly disciplined troublesome players. I guess this goes back to the time of Wally Butts, who was undoubtedly the biggest lush in the coaching world. If you're going to tolerate a coach's recalcitrance, then you have no choice but to tolerate that of the players as well.
August 30th, 2010
10:54 am
Fuuny, what part of "the charges were dropped" do you not understand?
August 30th, 2010
10:56 am
I think Roddy Jones had a dislocated wrist not broken wrist. Anyway I think your right about him having a good year.
I think Cooper Taylor is going to be the surprise defensive player this year. Do you think CT will be called on to blitz much or at all?
August 30th, 2010
11:04 am
I don't know anything about "Montrez" Robinson, but Montez Robinson was a serial offender against the law.
"Georgia coach Mark Richt announced Sunday night that Robinson was no longer a part of the team. Robinson was in the Clarke County jail on a misdemeanor charge of simple domestic battery.
It's his third brush with the law in the past six months, and Richt said in a release that Robinson "had not been able to conform to some conditions and stipulations that were placed on him as a result of previous off-field issues."
Robinson had already been suspended for the first two games of the 2010 season as a result of his previous arrests, and he also missed the bowl game last season."

The part that says "charges were dropped". Why were they? Because he played football for Tech – that's why. Consider youself lucky that your players are there in the ghetto where that kind of behavior is tolerated. There is such a thing as a "pay off" and giving a kid a warning. In Athens, there is no such thing. Don't cast stones in glass houses Techmites. BTW, I think the UGA players are getting disciplined. It's the players at Nerdland that are given other chances and warnings.
August 30th, 2010
11:12 am
Ealey had 3 brushes with the law in 3 months but he is still on the team. May 30 speeding and no tag. July 13 didn't show for court. Aug. 13th Failure to appear warrent issued. Aug, 27th Hit and Run and driving on a suspenden license. I count 3 problems with the law in 3 months but only a suspension against a High School team.
August 30th, 2010
11:13 am
That's right….look at the dismissals and suspensions. Too bad they weren't Tech players- they would STILL be allowed on the team to play!!
August 30th, 2010

August 30th, 2010
11:14 am
Misdemeanors and felony assault are a wee bit different Slippery.
August 30th, 2010
11:15 am
Funny, obviously you are an ignoramus. The charges were not dropped by Tech; they were dropped by the government prosecutors, because the charges were proved to be false. The same thing happened to the Duke Lacrosse players, and yet jerks like you still want to blame them for something that NEVER HAPPENED. The claims made against Tarrant were unsubstantiated and FALSE. Why should he not play for Tech? Why should any athlete against whom false charges were made and subsequently dropped not play for a given school? The difference here is that charges have never been dropped against any of the thugs at THUGa, and yet some of them only get slaps on the wrist by CMR and his staff.
August 30th, 2010
11:16 am
FZunny CHARGES were Dropped against uga players for gropping a Pregnant female. Players saw he in a dorm hallway and started rubbing and touching her belly. Those charges were dropped. Why can you say payoff too? HAHAHA. Sometimes people are innocent of or deserve lesser charges.
August 30th, 2010
11:18 am
That is correct, Funny, misdemeanours and felonies are two separate things. The charges made against Hall were reduced to misdemeanour charges or dropped completely—–again NOT by Tech, but by the government prosecutors. All charges, whether misdemeanour or felony were dropped against Tarrant, because no crime of any sort was determined to have occurred.
August 30th, 2010
11:18 am
now go research the # of brushes with the law that GT had and how many of those went unpunished and got "swept under the rug". I thought Pajamas coached at the Navy. Shouldn't he be more of a discliplinarian? Sexual assault and battery being tolerated by Tech is nothing to gloat about. Demand action if you want to be fair across the board. Otherwise keep your piehole shut about disciplining players- something that doesn't happen at Nerdland.
August 30th, 2010
11:18 am
Ole Miss and Masoli is a huge joke, but that is the SEC for you. Win at all costs. UGA has to keep the players playing of they might lose to Vandy and Kentucky. Wait UGA did lose to Kentucky at home last year.
August 30th, 2010
11:21 am
Funny, why don't you tell us what UNDROPPED charges of sexual assault and battery have been tolerated at Tech or by Johnson? I know why you don't tell us; it's because there are none. I would say that John has done a pretty damn good job of cataloging the charges and subsequent disciplinary actions (if any) against THUGa players. Why don't you do the same before you open that ignorant piehole of yours again.
August 30th, 2010
11:22 am
Supersize and Slippery,
AGAIN, p-a-y-o-f-f !!! Believe what you want Nerds. Neither of those 2 players would have been arrested in the first place had their not been substantial evidence. What about R. Houston? FELONY DRUG CHARGES and allowed to play!!!
August 30th, 2010
11:26 am
Funny, so I guess you are saying that the Duke Lacrosse players were freed because Duke paid somebody off too? Boy, you are one ignorant ass. Charges are dropped because no evidence of a crime being committed was ever found. The ones who should be in jail are the ones who leveled the false charges to begin with. Why don't you try dealing with facts instead of predjudiced conjecture. If you say there was some kind of payoff, then prove it, bubba, or keep your piehole shut. To be perfectly honest, I don't remember the facts about Houston while in school, so I won't comment on that. I DO know, however, that he got in far more serious trouble after he left Tech, than while he was at Tech.
August 30th, 2010
11:28 am
BTW, Funny, are you saying that just because somebody files charges against someone else, the filee is automatically guilty? Guilt in this country demands PROOF, not opinion.
August 30th, 2010
11:30 am
Wait, I do remember some of the deal with Houston. It was not a case of Tech ALLOWING him to play. Some judge somewhere REQUIRED that he be allowed to play. I don't think too many people at Tech were pleased with that decision, but it was a judge's decision, not Tech's.
August 30th, 2010
11:32 am
Ok, I will note that UGA has dismissed a lot of their most egregious offenders from the team. Bravo. As far the Ealey situation, 1 game sounds about right. He made a stupid decision, college kids do it all the time. It did not appear that any alcohol was involved, although one has to wonder. I will say that each situation has to be looked at individually within overall context for that student-athlete's behavior. I believe that coaches should be firm and consistent with discipline so that the other student athletes on the team can see the consequences. However, these are also 19 year old kids and I do not agree with making an example out of one student just to set a precedent. So that means that the discipline has to be consistent from the beginning. Then the logical conclusion you can draw from this is that anytime their is a coaching change from a more lax system of discipline to a more strict regime, there could be issues.
August 30th, 2010
11:33 am
I give up, there are about 20 or so other UGA footballers arrested, but the AJC is auto deleting my posts. Point is, in the same time frame only 2 tech players were arrested. 2 verses UGA's 35. Let me say this again …35….
August 30th, 2010
11:33 am
Anybody notice Matt K. from GT takes 192 yard shot from the rough and puts it 2.5ft from the hole for a birdie to win the tournament in a play-off, just one week after UGAg's BUBBA drops a shot 40 yards from the green into water in a play-off to choke away the tournament because he's pretty much a moron and had no chance of making the green?
You can't make that kind of stuff up.
…I'm just saying.

Funny, here you
Robert Hall 6/6/2010 One game Simple Battery
Jarrard Tarrant 6/28/2008 Dissmissed Rape, Sodomy (later dissmissed as concentual, ang Tarrant rejoined team)
Originally I was going to go all the way back to 2005, which would have included R Houston too. In total 3 people…

Hey Ramble,
How many National Championships did Matt K. and his golfing buddies EVER win?
UGA has won 2!!! Yet another example of Tech being OVERRATED in everything!!!
August 30th, 2010
11:39 am
If you want to include other athletic personnel, you could throw in Hamilton, but then you would have to include Evans on your side. As for dropped, UGA has had some charges dropped. That kid who wouldn't give his middle name… I remember a weapons charged dropped a while back (Lomax I think)
August 30th, 2010

UGA Golf, care to tell us how many thugs have ever won a major championship? At least 4 former Tech golfers have won at least one major—Duval, Cink, Mize, and Jones. And Jones (Bobby Jones, that is) is still considered to be the greatest golfer of all time…..that's right, Bobby Jones, former Georgia Tech golfer, and one of at least two former Jackets to win the US Amateur (Kuchar being the other)
August 30th, 2010
11:51 am
UGA is 2-1 in Blackout games…..UGA could beat NC State without wearing pads. Tech is giving away white T-shirts, 4 hot dogs, four cokes, half off ticket prices, and WOW playing tips. Word is they still have 15000 tix remaining.

You're telling me that Bobby Jones never accomplished anything while at Tech??? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! He didn't just rise from obscurity after finishing Tech. I have no idea whether they even had a collegiate golf national tournament back then, but he was already recognized for his talents while in school. Kuchar won the US Amateur while at Tech. Duval came in second in the NCAA tournament while a senior, even though the team did not win. I'm sorry Tech has not won an NCAA championship in golf, but team championships in what is really an individual game obviously don't indicate the true quality of the individuals on the team. You mutts always want to talk about how important it is to succeed in the pros (in football, at least). Well, in golf, Tech players have done far better in the pro world than have the mutts, regardless of the NCAA championships. And of course, Bobby Jones succeeded without even going pro; he remained an amateur for the length of his career.

August 30th, 2010
12:08 pm
Say what?, if you are a mutt fan, then you obviously know more about their history than I do, but I certainly thought that the 2008 Bama game was THUGa's only blackout game. I know they have had redouts before, but I thought that was the first, and probably last, blackout.

Not entering in to all this back and forth arguing, just providing some into. UGA's first 2 "Blackouts" were in '07 vs. Auburn and in the Sugar Bowl vs. Hawaii, both victories. The last 2 wardrobe tweaks occured vs. Bama in '08 and Florida in '09, both losses.

Red outs? What the hell is that? Red is their normal jersey color and fans wear red because of that. They don't wear red because the athletic department told them to, unlike Yech's "whiteout".

All this back and forth crap is a joke. I am a UGA alum and proud of it! Good luck to GT and UGA. Both have their problem players, and always will but I am glad both schools have the coaches that they currently have. Good men. Cheer for your team and stop bashing the other. Tech fans should be as passionate about their team as us Dawg fans are. Most people who talk crap on these sites have no clue about football or real life.

Well, Doug, I didn't think about a pregame MVP prediction, but I guess you could do that also, but my idea was definitely postgame.

say what? The whiteouts were done per request of the students, not the athletic department. For better or worse, the athletic department could care less about such things.
OCDawg, thanks for being a voice of reason here.

White is Georgia Tech's traditional home jersey color. Why is a "whiteout" news?

Uh, Tiger attended Stanford. He wears cardinal on Sundays.

Delbert, I said Jones retained his amateur status, didn't I? If I didn't, I meant to.
You're right about Tech's home jersey color, although we have worn Gold more often over the last 30 years than before then. The only thing different about a Whiteout was that the fans were encouraged to wear white, and that WAS a student orginization idea. We have had two Whiteouts, and the football team won both times. I hear that the NC State game this year will be a Whiteout, and I fully expect the Jackets to win that one too.
Did the fans in the stands wear black for THUGa's blackout against Auburn in 2007, or in the Sugar Bowl or the 2009 Gators game? I don't know, and I really don't care. I don't see how an away game or a bowl game could be a -out, unless more that 75% of the fans in the stands wore that particular color. I DO know though that the blackout against Bama in 2008 was a disaster. If the 2007 Auburn game was a fan blackout, and not just the team wearing black jerseys, then THUGa is one-and-one at home for blackouts.

Wow this blog went ugly quick. Funny your debating skills are horrible and you might want to read up on the law before making blanket comments. I cannot argue much in the Tarrant case other than to say that if a statement was made by th victim and there was no evidence to prove otherwise at the time then the police were more than likely obligated to make an arrest. In Hall's case the police would have no choice but to make the arrest. Under CDV law all one party has to do is give a written statement saying that they were assaulted and if it can't be proven that it did not occur then th police have to make an arrest, this situation was also elevated due to injuries, that were later proven to come by another manner than originally reported. As far as CPJ handling these situations both players were suspended by him and the AD for a year. Tarrant was allowed back on the team after sitting out a year when all charges were dismissed and Hall's suspension was lifted after charges were reduced. These players were diciplined way more than UGAs players have been. Ealey even lied to the coaching staff because he knew he was suspened and wanted and told them he would not drive.

On to something more fun to talk about. I hope Roddy Jones has a break out year. He deserves a great year and had to share too many reps due to injury. I believe he will be a great threat for short passes to the sidelines.

I am a little confused. How can you have a blackout at a game that isn't at home (Sugar Bowl)? Now I have no doubt that since that Sugar Bowl was here in ATL that UGA's fans dominated the stands. But come on, can you call it a true black out at a Bowl game?

Meadowbrook Elk and People
October 2, 2008 · Updated 11:44 PM
On a recent drive to Montana to go hunting, several of us talked about the times we hunted ducks on the Meadowbrook Farm before school, after school and during the weekends. In those days, there were a lot of ducks, but no elk.
We discussed the large elk herd that has established residence on this land. I made the statement that in the near future, there would be a dangerous situation for people during the fall rut when the long awaited trail system is developed by the Meadowbrook Farm Preservation Association.
The large heaps of ground-up wood and bark donated by North Fork Enterprises Inc. will be used to start building the trail system. The trails will bring people very close to elk during the six to eight weeks of fall rut. There are approximately 60 to 120 elk visible at different times of the day. This large group contains several mature bull elk.
Reading the Great Falls Tribune in Helena the next day, Oct. 19, 2006, there was a front-page story about bull elk chasing and pinning people, plus damaging cars, in Yellowstone: "This year's rut - that six- to eight-week period of time when bull elk breed the cows - was typical: elk attacking vehicles, elk pinning people to the steps and cantankerous bulls chasing amateur photographers."
We all like to view the elk. They are a magnificent animal, but how many are enough? There are satellite herds being established all over Snoqualmie Valley. Yards, gardens, flower beds, fruit and ornamental trees are being destroyed. Golf courses and Christmas tree farms are routinely damaged.
You hear the justification for their wanton destruction that they were here first. I have not researched or documented proof to this statement. Many Valley residents with longevity going back to the 1920s and 1930s say that the elk were imported into the area about 1934 and are not native to Snoqualmie Valley.
Who is responsible for the rapidly increasing elk population in Snoqualmie Valley? What can be done to prevent serious injuries to people, vehicles and property? Build the trails and people of all ages will use them from daylight to dark.
What plan will the Meadowbrook Farm Preservation Association have during the rut season? When the full trail system is in place, will people and elk be compatible?
The cities of North Bend and Snoqualmie financially support the association. What responsibility do they, county and state agencies have for managing the growing elk population within city limits and the surrounding lands and parks? What is the elk-carrying capacity for Snoqualmie Valley? When will it be reached or has it already? Is there a situation developing where serious injuries may occur from people and elk encounters?

Barbara attended West Virginia Wesleyan College, earning a bachelor's degree in history, and continued her education at West Virginia University, where she earned a master's degree, also in history.

In addition, she was active with the League of Women Voters, served on the founding board of the "latch-key after school" program in Clark County (now Kids Carnival), the Foster Care review board for Madison and Clark counties and a state-wide committee that made recommendations to the state legislature on child abuse legislation. Barbara was awarded the JC Penney Golden Rule Award for her work with the after school (Kids Carnival) program.
She is survived by two daughters and their spouses; Joanna and Russe Lindsey of Winchester and Lisa and Richard Hanna of Bessemer, Ala.; Finnish granddaughter Niina Ronkainen-Okon; two other granddaughters, Dawn Hanna and Valerie Hanna Bell; and four great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband, Jim Kidd, in 2003.

Thun (Bern, Switzerland)
Thun, a town and district of the canton of Bern, Switzerland, situated on Lake Thun. Moritz Losenegger a citizen of Thun, was in prison there as early as 1532. Concerning the spread and development of Anabaptism in the district of Thun there is not much information. In the 17th century and probably even earlier, Anabaptists were found in the villages of Goldenwil, Wattenwil, Hilterfingen, Sigriswil, Diesbach, and a few other hamlets, all mountain villages on the north shore of Lake Thun. Jakob Ammann, the founder of the Amish Mennonites, was of Erlenbach near Thun. In the course of time a number of Anabaptists from the Thun area emigrated; among the emigrants moving in 1711 to the Netherlands were members of the Schneider, Ruff (Rupp), Reuszer (Risser), Richard, Sorg, Schlappach, Eicher, Kienzi, Krähenbühl, and Rüegsegger families from Sigriswil and other villages in the Thun district. Others moved to the Swiss Jura in the 18th century. In 1823 only 85 Mennonites were living in the Thun district (Ritschard, Stähli, Freyenberg, and Winteregg families).

Please Choose From Below How Did Arkansas Get its Name? Our State Beverage Our State Bird Our State Butterfly Our State Historic Cooking Vessel Our State American Folk Dance Our State Flag Our State Flower Our State Fruit and Vegetable Our State Grain Our State Gem Our State Insect Our State Instrument Our State Mammal Our State Mineral Our State Rock Our State Seal Our State Tree

Many names of places in our state came from the languages of the explorers who discovered and lived in Arkansas. The Native Americans, Spanish, French and Americans all helped name places in our state. The word "Arkansas" came from the Quapaw Indians, by way of early French explorers. The explorers met a group of Native Americans, known as the Ugakhpah, which means "people who live downstream". These Native Americans later were called the Quapaw, who were also called the Arkansaw. This name came to be used for the land where these Native Americans lived.
Back to Top
Milk was adopted as the Arkansas State Beverage by the General Assembly of 1985. Dairy farming is an important part of Arkansas agriculture.
The mockingbird was adopted as the Arkansas State Bird by the General Assembly of 1929. The mockingbird can imitate the song of many other birds.
In 2007, the Diana Fritillary became the official state butterfly. These butterflies are large and beautiful with a wingspan of about 3.5" and bright colors on their spotted wings. Males are dark brown with orange markings. The larger females are black with bright blue markings and white spots. Diana Fritillary butterflies live in the moist mountain areas of Arkansas and feed on the nectar of flowers. Mount Magazine is one of the best locations to see them during the summer.
Adopted as the State Historic Cooking Vessel by the General Assembly in 2001 the Dutch oven is a deep, heavy kettle with attached legs, flat lid and arched wire handle. It was essential for cooking during the rustic colonial, territorial and early statehood periods. To make foods such as stew, biscuits or even cake, the cook would place the Dutch oven over an open fire or hot coals and add more coals on top of the lid for even heat distribution. Today, this link to Arkansas's culinary past is still used by campers and chefs alike.
The square dance was adopted as the Arkansas State American Folk Dance by the General Assembly of 1991. Square dancers perform a variety of steps which are usually told to them during the dance by a person known as a square dance caller.
FLAG COLORS The area outside of the diamond is red Diamond outline border is blue The 25 stars in diamond border are white The four stars in the center are blue The word Arkansas is blue The inside of the diamond is white
Our state flag, designed by Miss Willie K. Hocker of Wabbaseka, Arkansas, was adopted in 1913. The 25 stars indicate that Arkansas was the 25th state admitted to the United States. The three large stars in the center stand for the three nations that have ruled Arkansas: Spain, France and the United States. Also, Arkansas was the third state formed from the Louisiana Purchase. The large star above ARKANSAS symbolizes the Confederacy which Arkansas was a part of from 1861 1865, and the diamond formed by the 25 stars represent Arkansas as the only diamond producing state in the Union.
The apple blossom was adopted as the Arkansas State Flower by the General Assembly of 1901. Apple blossoms have pink and white petals and green leaves. At one time Arkansas was a major apple producing state. The town of Lincoln in Washington County hosts the annual Arkansas Apple Festival.
The South Arkansas Vine Ripe Pink Tomato was adopted as the Arkansas State Fruit and Vegetable by the General Assembly of 1987. The tomato is officially Defined as a fruit but is commonly used as a vegetable. The Pink Tomato Festival is held each year in Bradley County.
The diamond was adopted as the Arkansas State Gem by the General Assembly of 1967. Arkansas is the only diamond producing state in the United States. The Crater of Diamonds State Park, located in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, is the only place in the nation where you can dig for diamonds and keep what you find. More than 70,000 diamonds have been found there.
The state's leading agricultural crop, rice became a new state symbol in 2007. Arkansas is the nation's top rice-producing state with almost half of all American rice grown here. Most of the state's rice farms are in the eastern half of the state. They grow about 240 million bushels of rice each year, which means $1.55 billion and 20,000 jobs for the state's economy.
The honeybee was adopted as the Arkansas State Insect by the General Assembly of 1973. Honeybees carry pollen from flower to flower. The bees also produce honey which is collected and sold by beekeepers. An old fashioned dome beehive is one of the symbols on the Great Seal of Arkansas.
The fiddle was adopted as the Arkansas State Instrument by the General Assembly of 1985. Otherwise known as the violin, the instrument has been commonly associated with Arkansas folk music and culture.
The white tail deer was adopted as the Arkansas State Mammal by the General Assembly of 1993. The deer raises the white underside of its tail when frightened. Young white tail deer have a white spotted red coat which changes to brownish gray before the end of its first year.
The quartz crystal was adopted as the Arkansas State Mineral by the General Assembly of 1967. Quartz crystals are mined in the Ouachita Mountains and are used in computers and sold to visitors to our state. Sometimes called "Arkansas diamonds", quartz crystals are not true diamonds.
Bauxite was adopted as the Arkansas State Rock by the General Assembly of 1967. Bauxite is used to make aluminum which is used to make soft drink cans and aluminum foil. Arkansas is home to the largest bauxite deposits in the United States, located in Saline County.
The pine was adopted as the Arkansas State Tree by the General Assembly of 1939. The loblolly and shortleaf pine are varieties of southern yellow p ine found in our state. Both varieties may grow to be 100 feet tall and can be found in our two National Forests the Ouachita National Forest and the OzarkSt. Francis National Forest.

Pack your bags; we are going on a journey! A journey, where? A journey through creation.

It was that time of the year again when men loaded up their vehicles to make the annual trek 'up the mountain'.

One of Dane's favorite long boards is a Paul Gross Design 9-4 Magic Sam model. I Brought it down to Dane in Noosa after he had ridden another PG board that I was riding at Tea Tree in 2006. He later contacted me and wanted a PG.....turns out I was in charge of givng away a deceased friends boards and Dane had been close to Johnie.....so next trip down, I brought the Sam.
