BIG RAPIDS, MI (WKZO) -- Nick Suttles has literally returned from the dead. The 19-year-old Ferris State Student from Grand Rapids was found in a snow bank after a party near the Big Rapids campus in February.
He had apparently gotten extremely drunk and passed out in the snow trying to walk back to his apartment wearing only jeans and a T-shirt.
When they found him the next morning, he was blue and unresponsive, and he had been hospitalized ever since. A 24-year-old from Saginaw is expected to be charged later this month with supplying alcohol to a minor, the alcohol that was served at the party that Suttles attended, although not necessarily the alcohol that Suttles drank. Suttles does not remember what happened that night.
Earlier reports suggested he brought his own bottle to the party.

Before construction began, UC Davis laid out a vision for West Village, its new on-campus community, as a showcase of energy efficiency that would provide affordable housing for faculty and students.
Nearly two years after the $300 million development opened, it has not yet fulfilled those expectations.
Its student apartments have experienced high turnover. Single-family homes for faculty and staff have not materialized. And the developer can't quantify whether the project is meeting its goal of using no more energy than it produces from solar panels.
As for being affordable, West Village apartments have some of the highest rents in town.
"The reality is the rental rates at that property are extremely high," said Karen Mattis, coordinator of the Davis Residential Managers Association, a citywide group of property managers. "Students are looking for something more affordable."
West Village isn't actually run by UC Davis. The school contracted with private developer Carmel Partners to build and manage the community.
So far, Carmel has built two apartment complexes with 507 units that house 1,500 residents, mostly students. As of this week, the complex was charging $2,000 for a two-bedroom unit, while the Davis average is $1,307, according to a 2012 report by UC Davis Student Housing.
For that price, student tenants get an amenity-rich complex, including a resort-style pool and a stunning clubhouse.
Despite those luxuries, West Village has had a hard time keeping tenants, with about 50 percent of them declining to renew their leases in 2012, not including those who graduated.
Citywide, the average renewal rate is closer to 70 percent, according to Mattis.
The complex has an elaborate marketing campaign to attract students, distributing thousands of branded T-shirts, water bottles and sunglasses.
Through Facebook, DavisWiki and interviews, students have complained that management has promised more than it has delivered.
"The apartments are really beautiful from outside, but then when you move in, you realize there are issues with the apartments," said Trudy Lei, who has lived there since September 2011.
"Management is awful. They talk down to us because we're college kids," said resident Chelsea Hayman, who offered a laundry list of complaints ranging from persistent Internet outages to inoperable toilets.
Carmel Partners acknowledged the existence of "several front office issues" and operational problems, but asset manager Stephanie Martling said "hiccups are to be expected" from a new complex. The San Francisco company has responded by bringing in a new manager.
"It's just so big. We all wear different hats every day," said J.D. McLeod, the new manager, who arrived in November.
Mattis, of the Davis residential managers group, attributed West Village's woes to "high prices, bad reviews on DavisWiki and its remote location."
"You can do all the incentives you want, but unless the apartment works for the student, they're not going to stay there," Mattis said. "Students are savvy. They know what they're looking for."
University officials expect West Village to one day house 3,000 students, faculty and staff, a buildout that will take at least several years. A third apartment complex with 500 beds is expected to open this fall.
About 300 single-family homes were supposed to arrive last year but did not, partly because of the dismal real estate market.
Built on university land, the 130-acre project was touted as the "largest planned zero-net energy community in the nation."
Researchers projected that the apartments built with energy-saving features such as extra insulation, solar panels and efficient appliances would use half as much electricity as conventional buildings.
The project received $22 million in public funding, including $14.5 million from UC Davis to pay for streets, utilities and other infrastructure, and $2.5 million from the California Energy Commission to explore renewable energy.
Martling said last week that the project is "on track" to meet its energy goals, but did not offer data about energy savings to support that assertion.
"Our data has been changing," she said. "It's not fully built and stabilized."
So far, in addition to the student apartments, the village includes office space occupied by a few of the school's research arms. More research experiments investigating energy usage are on the horizon, including one that aims to use solar panels to charge electric cars. A "biodigester" that would convert waste into energy is slated to go online this fall.
UC Davis still has high expectations for West Village. "We can use this as a living laboratory," said Sid England, the university's assistant vice chancellor for sustainability.

The Elephant Debate
June 17, 2013
If we really care about the two elephants at the Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley, we should find a new home for them. That was the message today to the Rock Island County Forest Preserve Commission from elephant expert and consultant Alan Roocroft. Following up on his written report submitted last month, Roocroft says to be happy, elephants need to be in large family groups. And for Babe and Sophie, the two at Niabi, he recommends they move to a warmer climate.
"To a place where they can recuperate and relax, where they can be cared for in terms of Sophie's arthritis. Their sleeping potential is poor here. Sophie does not lay down - she only lies down in the summer so you've got 5 months when she's leaning against a wall."
He says what's considered adequate conditions for animals in zoos has changed a lot during the past 40 years.
"The idea is we have to evolve now - this is certainly not good enough in 2013 and certainly wasn't good enough back when it was actually condoned but we didn't know that."
Roocroft says he understands local residents want to see Babe and Sophie when they visit the Niabi Zoo, but his priority is their welfare. Last year, the zoo lost its national accreditation, in part due to the size and condition of the elephant enclosure.

Relaxing on the shimmering white deck of a 44-foot Jeanneau anchored off a remote white-sand beach, I gazed through crystal waters and watched blue-green sea grass sway lazily in the current. At my side were a good novel, fresh baguettes, black olives and brie; in my hand, a glass of chilled white Bordeaux.
I love sailing vacations. Whether I'm cutting through two-foot swells, anchored peacefully in a beautiful cove, or moored in a quaint harbor town, I'm in the moment. It's all about the journey and the experience — an ultimate be-here-now experience that's pure carpe diem.
On this particular diem, we were anchored in Anse à Colombier on the northwest corner of St. Barts, a two-hour sail from the Sunsail sailboat charter base in St. Martin. We were on the first day of a two-week cruise my photographer and I took of the Leeward Islands.
Anse à Colombier is one of St. Bart's best beaches, remote and wild. The only other way to get to this beach involves a 30-minute perilously steep hike down a treacherous cacti-laden path. Try that lugging towels, umbrellas, and coolers.
After a lazy afternoon snorkeling with friendly green sea turtles, we pulled anchor and sailed the short distance to Gustavia, the island's main town and port. In peak season, this harbor is jammed with megayachts, glitz and glamour as the world's rich and beautiful take their winter holidays. Off-season, it's much more subdued.
Sailing provides a kind of dual holiday — the adventure of sailing the high seas and anchoring in remote wild bays, combined with the fun of exploring cities, towns, and villages along the way. Gustavia is a quaint French colonial town that reminds me of a mini Monaco. And like Monaco, it has no shortage of great restaurants. Cooking on the boat is fun, but it's always nice to let someone else do the dishes.
After a tranquil night gently rocking in the protected harbor, we stocked up on croissants, prosciutto, wine, and gruyère, slipped off the mooring lines, and headed for St. Kitts.
Situated 45 nautical miles to the south of St. Barts, the sail to St. Kitts was going to be a long one. The wind was blowing a good 15-20 knots about 30 degrees off our port bow, so we knew we'd be heeled over for most of the journey. Translation: tipped on our side, drinks sliding across the deck, and the wind blowing our hats off.
When we first sighted St. Kitts, the volcanic islands St. Eustatius and Saba appeared off our starboard. We had wanted to visit Saba, but the island didn't have any good anchorage. Nothing's more troubling than a sketchy anchorage. Just imagine you're fast asleep, your boat suddenly cuts loose, and you wake up either crashing against the rocks or drifting out to sea. Neither is a pleasant scenario.
The wind calmed as we dipped into the shadow of the western side of St. Kitts, so we switched on the engines. While I love to sail, after a day of riding the waves with the wind on your nose, it was nice to get a little break from the sound and the fury.
St. Kitts has a lot of history and it's worth a walk-about. One of the best sites is Brimstone Hill Fortress, where a number of key battles between the French and English went down. Even if you're not a history buff, the view from Brimstone is breathtaking.
I also recommend hiking the 3,792-foot dormant volcano Mount Liamuiga. This is the tallest mountain in this archipelago and the top third often sits in a deliciously cool and calming cloud, which is a nice break from the Caribbean's torch-like sun.
Our second evening in St. Kitts, we sailed over to a popular strip of beach bars at South Friar's Bay. There is something very special about dropping an anchor in front of a bustling night scene, hopping in a dinghy, and driving right into the fray. It's a bit of a James Bond moment. We had to substitute cheap local beer and greasy burgers for caviar and dry martinis, but it was all good.
We were both excited and a bit nervous about our next destination, Montserrat, which is well off the standard cruising map. The Sunsail guides didn't exactly encourage us to go there. This is understandable given that the island's Soufrière Hills volcano is active and could theoretically rain hot ash and rocks down on the boat if we happened to be there when the volcano got angry.
We were facing another long sail, but were looking forward to it. There's nothing better after a night of guzzling beer and pounding burgers than a day at sea. Something about the wind, the salt spray, and the gentle surging of a boat under sail that cleanses the mind and spirit.
In the early afternoon, we began to see Montserrat's luscious green peaks rising out of the horizon. Just north of the island's tiny port, we dropped anchor in a beautiful little cove called Rendezvous Bay.
Sailing is unlike land-based holidays, where arrival often throws you into the stress of finding a hotel, checking in, searching for a good place to eat, etc., etc. The minute we pulled into Rendezvous, we uncorked cold white wine, had a snack, and went snorkeling … no hurry, no stress, no worries.
After a refreshing shower on the boat, we were ready to face civilization. We took the dinghy into the harbor, checked through customs, and hit the only spot in town, a bar/restaurant and scuba operation called the Green Monkey. There we got the lowdown what to see and do in Montserrat. Top on the list was a tour of the volcano and its destructive path.
During its heyday, Montserrat was a bustling little country boasting one of the Caribbean's best medical schools and one of the world's most famous recording studios. AIR studio was owned and operated by Sir George Martin (who made music with the Beatles). Over the years, Martin brought some of the world's most famous and glamorous talents to this island to record, including Dire Straits, The Police, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ultravox, The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, Black Sabbath, and Eric Clapton.
In the 1990s a series of eruptions buried much of this island in hot ash and mud, destroying AIR Studios, the capital city of Plymouth, the airport, and the seaport. Luckily there were only a few casualties, but the island took a big hit and still hasn't completely recovered.
On the Green Turtle's recommendation, we signed up for a 4-wheel drive tour of areas devastated by the volcano. While much of the island is still off limits because of the threat of more volcanic activity, our driver got us pretty far in. We actually drove up a hardened mudflow that had buried a golf course, where we could still make out the remains of the old clubhouse.
From Garibaldi Hill we got a bird's eye view of Plymouth. Once a vibrant capital city with busy city streets, residential neighborhoods, and bustling shops, Plymouth has been reduced to a ghostly moonscape of white-gray mud. Concrete skeletons of burnt buildings and collapsed church steeples poked through the hardened ash flows.
As we gazed at these ruins, our guide pointed to the general vicinity of where his house used to stand. In a quiet voice, he explained how he had lost everything he'd worked and saved for. It was hard to imagine. But, in spite of this immense tragedy, the people here are not bitter. And the ones who stayed on are working hard to rebuild this shattered community.
Our next stop, Antigua, has "a beach for every day of the year." And we planned to visit as many as we could. First, however, we needed to stop at the Sunsail base at English Harbor and Nelson's Dockyard, where we filled our water tanks and bought provisions. Nelson's boatyard is the longest continually operating boatyard in the world, and the 18th century home to a British Navy fleet. Today it's a kind of living museum and a great place to spend an afternoon exploring.
The next day we sailed along the southwestern shore and toured Antigua's famous beaches. We had been told that the beaches on the northeastern coast were even more spectacular, but the reefs on that side were treacherous and strict Sunsail directives put it off limits.
At our final destination, Barbuda, we sailed into Low Bay on the western side of the island and had 11 miles of pink-sand beach all to ourselves. With no road access to this part of the island, sailing is pretty much the only way we could experience something like this.
Barbuda was a magical end to a magical voyage. On St. Martin, to soften the blow of reentry, we booked a couple extra days at beautiful Villa Canoua perched on a hill overlooking a gorgeous semi-private beach. The villa is a stone's throw from Grand Case, which has a wonderful strip of beach bars, fine French restaurants, and nightclubs. If you make it to St. Martin, Grand Case is a must-do.
Sailing might not be for everyone, but I can't think of a better way to vacation. Every day's an adventure that leads to places that few get to see and experience. It puts me in a space where the future and the past blur as I focus on all that's happening now. Whether I'm gliding through the waves beyond sight of land, snorkeling with parrotfish in a magical bay, or exploring a small seaside port or secluded beach, I feel alive at each and every moment.

KATV Interviews Greenberg on Voter Fraud
I am not sure I like the idea of being known as a 'vote fraud expert'; nonetheless, I accepted KATV's invitation to discuss vote fraud yesterday.

I particularly appreciate that Reyes relied on the AAI paper on vote fraud that we published last year. … [Read more...]

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Assembly approves a bill penalizing people who traffic in food stamp benefits.
The measure backed by Republicans would make it against the law to buy, sell or transfer food stamp benefits for cash or trade them for alcohol or cigarettes.
Backers say this new law will give district attorneys the tools they need to prosecute food stamp traffickers.

laptops batteries
Do you know your laptop battery?When given this question to any user of the laptops batteries,they will get confused. This happens to me once when someone asks me about my dell battery.As you can see, before replacing the Hp Compaq battery Acer battery Apple battery IBM battery Asus battery Lenovo battery Samsung battery Sony battery and Toshiba battery,it is very important to know a little about the field again in the first place. There are several types of Canada laptop batteries that I will share in this post. The types of replacement laptop batteries: 1. Alkaline – This is a common batteries for laptop around, but only a few use this kind and the ruling on alkaline Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery,Dell 1520 battery or Dell 1525 battery will not be rechargeable. You have to shoot once to deflate. 2. Lead Acid – One of the most common use. It is durable, resistant and rechargeable, but unfortunately the Dell Latitude D800 Battery is heavy and full of lead: P. 3. Lithium-Ion – The type of HP Pavilion DV4 Battery or HP HSTNN-DB72 battery that you want to have for your laptop. The quick-charge effect is good for users moving (no need to wait a while for the battery is fully charged.) It is also environmentally friendly as well. 4. Nickel Cadmium – Ni-Cd is one of the oldest types and improved performance of rechargeable acer aspire 5520 series battery, but has a serious problem. After prolonged use (several years),acer aspire 5520G battery will be affected by the dreaded memory effect. This means that the use of battery life deteriorates over time. 5. Nickel Metal Hydride – Ni-MH is considered the successor to the Ni-Cd batteries such as acer aspire 5100 battery and acer aspire one battery, but unfortunately, the dreaded memory effect is as bad as well. However, comparison of the Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries, it lasts longer compared to its predecessor. The chances of using lithium-ion apple A1280 battery is 99% (that is if you are using the new breed of laptops). Just check the abbreviation says Lion or Li-Ion batteries in apple A1281 battery label. There are still some laptops that use Ni-MH batteries these days and you may want to check with the manufacturer if you can make an update of Ni-MH Li-Ion. The unauthorized use of Dell latitude D600 battery could lead to dire consequence. so do be very careful about this. If you have a larger budget you might want to check the SMART acer BATBL50L6 battery. It has a power management circuit and also tells the user which is the current condition of the BATBL50L6 replacement battery.

Lennier has played goalkeeper for the Jaguar team for four years and will attend the university on an academic and athletic scholarship.
She expects to continue playing goalkeeper for the Hawks, who compete in the NCAA Division II Pacific West Conference. She will also major in nursing with the intention of transferring to Samuel Merritt University in two years to complete her studies.
Lennier said her experience with West Coast Soccer and local coach Troy Dayak, a former Major League Soccer player, prepared her for her college opportunity. Dayak has been her mentor since she was 5 years old, and for the past two years, Lennier has been a member of Dayak's West Coast Soccer Kryptonite team.
"He has taught me so much about the game, including formations, game management, nutrition, and how to prepare properly before each game," Lennier said.
She added that West Coast Soccer allowed her to train with the West Coast Wildcatz of the Women's Professional Soccer League and with goalkeeper Chelsea McIntyre.
"Chelsea saw my determination and desire for instruction to be the best goalkeeper I could be and pushed me at all our one-on-one sessions," Lennier said.
She also credits Pat Onstad, the former San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper and one of Dayak's former teammates, with being her inspiration as she got into competitive soccer at age 10.

Since we took the Winnitron 1000 to the Game Developer's Conference this past March, there have been talks of Winnnitrons popping up all over the world. It seems like once people laid their hands on the machine, they decided they HAD to make one in their home town!
Four Winnitron Indie Game Arcade Machines are now complete, and can be found in Winnipeg Canada, Utrech Netherlands, Christchurch New Zealand, and New York USA!
The goal of the Winnitron 1000 was to inspire and encourage game developers to become active members of the independent video game community. With 4 new Winnitron Indie Game Arcade Machines active around the world and a bunch more on the way, I think we can say that we're well on our way to achieving that goal.
Since this Winnitron project is now more of a global entity than when we first started this site, we're tweaking the site a tiny bit to reflect this change. This is now the home of the Winnitron Indie Game Arcade Network!
The goal is to eventually have all of the machines talking to each-other, sharing data like pictures and high scores. We're going to be slowly rolling out these features as time permits. If you would like to make your own Winnitron Indie Game Arcade Machine, please, check out the forums, and get involved!
If you're interested in more information on the making of this video and some more shots of the arcade graveyard, check out this behind the scenes post at Kert's blog.

Speech Act of Condolence in Persian and English: A Cross-Cultural Study
Different speech acts such as apologies, refusals, compliments, complaints and invitations have been studied and differences between English and Persian have been shown. However, the speech act of condolence has been neglected and there is little written on the way Persian speakers express their condolences. Therefore, the first objective of the present study is to make a cross-cultural comparison in the realization patterns of the condolence speech act between English and Persian. The second aim is to investigate the effect of social distance on condoling strategies in different situations. A discourse completion test consisting of four situations was given to eighty Iranian EFL students of the University of Isfahan. The collected data was coded based on Elwood's semantic formula (2004) with some modifications. The analysis of data revealed that offering of condolence by Iranians who are members of a Moslem community is carried out through strategies which are unique to this religious culture and is considerably different from what was found in the English data. Also, social distance has significant effect on the frequency of the speech act in different situations.
Key words: Speech act; Condolence; Cross-cultural; Persian

ATHENS – Georgia's defense was without five front-line players Saturday — four suspended and one injured — and the rest of the unit didn't seem completely into the game either.
Georgia, which ranked No. 5 in the nation in total defense last season, allowed Buffalo, No. 80 in total offense last season, first-half scoring drives of 75, 94 and 47 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown drive of 75 yards. The Bulls finished the day with 347 yards total offense, considerably more than Georgia's defense allowed per game last season (277.2).
The absences of safety Bacarri Rambo, cornerbacks Sanders Commings and Malcolm Mitchell and linebackers Alec Ogletree and Chase Vasser undoubtedly contributed to the defensive doldrums in what nevertheless turned out to be a 45-23 Georgia victory. (Mitchell was out because of a sprained ankle, the others because of suspensions.) Even so, the defense fell well short of expectations against a Mid-American Conference team that went 3-9 last season.
"Come out with a little bit more intensity, and I think we'll be a lot better," Georgia defensive end Abry Jones said. "I guess everyone's expectations were that it would be a little bit of a cakewalk, but we'll definitely look back on this game and say the season is not going to be easy. So we've got to keep working."
On Buffalo's first scoring drive, Georgia failed to get stops on third-and-4, third-and-5 and third-and-6, enabling the Bulls to put together an 11-play march culminated by 16-yard touchdown pass with about five minutes left in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Buffalo tailback Branden Oliver launched another touchdown drive by breaking free for 36 yards on third-and-3 from the Bulls' 13-yard line. And as the first half concluded, the Bulls moved from the Georgia 48 to the 1 before settling for a field goal that trimmed the Bulldogs' lead to 24-16.
"There were too many inconsistencies that led to explosive plays," Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said.
By halftime, Buffalo had 243 yards offense (147 rushing, including 89 by Oliver). In the second half, Georgia's defense was much better, stifling the Bulls until they assembled another long touchdown drive on their final possession of the game.
"We didn't start [well], but we came in at the half and made adjustments and played a lot better," UGA defensive end Cornelius Washington said.
Said Jones: "We looked each other in the eyes at halftime and said, 'This is not how we play.'"
Grantham was encouraged by the second-half adjustments and had no interest in weighing the effect of the absent players on the overall performance.
"I ain't blaming none of that because that is what it is," Grantham said.

My humble opinion, but I think they were looking ahead to Missouri and when we were up 24-6 with a lot of time in 2nd, they relaxed. We got the pace back pretty well after halftime. The O line did better in the 2nd half imo.

Fire Mark Richt! That was an embarrassing performance to start the season. At least in the Boise game last year it seemed like the team gave it their all. They didn't even give it 100% and Richt rewards them with a trip to the pool instead of practicing last week? I'm praying for a new head coach that is elite, can recruit players who represent the university well off the field, and win big games. That defense is overrated too. Go Dawgs!
September 1st, 2012
6:43 pm
Go Dawgs!
It wasn't all that impressive, especially the D, but it's a win.
Gurley looks like the real deal. Keep giving him the ball.
Glad Murray stayed in the game late. He looks rusty.
Get to work, Dawgs. Mizzou ain't Buffalo.
Glory, Glory to Old Georgia.
September 1st, 2012
6:51 pm
I cannot believe they could not get enough pressure to force a turnover or hit someone hard enough to cause a fumble… that was a weak performance.
September 1st, 2012
6:56 pm
The first team defense didn't allow a first down in the second half. Buffalo found some weaknesses on our right side, where Jarvis Jones usually plays, and exposed them in the first half. Glad they made adjustments at the half.
September 1st, 2012

Hope they get the D figured out…looked very sluggish and confused today.

Hey trolls, crawl back under your 5th Street Bridge. Fire Richt? Fire Grantham? Yeah, you would really love that, you propeller headed dorks. For the true Dawgs here, not the blow out many predicted but they got it done with plenty of room to spare. Should be some good times at practice this week!
September 1st, 2012
9:06 pm
Yall keep drinking the kool aid. All we can hop for is Dooley does better than Richt so they don't beat us to Petrino.
September 1st, 2012
9:17 pm
They can look ahead to Mizzou all they want, but, trust me, the Mizzoe QB will eat this bunch alive running and throwing. Our pass defense is horrendous without our starters and the QB scramble/draw is wide open with no defender even within 5 yards of the slow Qb from SUNY Albany – or Buffalo – whichever one of those schools it was we played. I suspect the Mizzou QB is a tad quicker and tad faster than the one we couldn't catch today. Doesn't look promising for next week.
September 1st, 2012
9:19 pm
As for spreading the carries around, I submit it is absurd for a back as good as Gurley to only get 8 carries all day. Let the big dawg eat!
September 1st, 2012
9:19 pm
When you have the likes of Olgetree, Cummings, Mitchell and Rambo not in the game you loose the ability to get creative with your Blitz Packages. If those guys would have been playing Buffalo wouldn't have scored. They played straight man D most of the day and I doubt Grantham wanted to run the risk of all out blitz and get some of the greener D-backs burned. That's also why you saw their QB break long runs. When you play man D you have your back turned to the QB and when he breaks containment you are the last to know.
Grantham know's what he's doing. He just didn't have the players to make the calls he usually makes. They had to play vanilla and you could tell the players weren't really into it either. They probably got tired of hearing 3-4 or nickel cover 2 man all day long. Players feed off of stunts and blitzes. When our key secondary players return it will be game on!
September 1st, 2012
9:58 pm
What bothered me about the Dawgs is no intensity on either side of the ball. I watched a little of the Missouri game and we better have Rambo and Ogletree back and get some speed or we will be a bunch of pissed Dawgs next week. Gurley looked great Murrray was inconsistent still but I blame a lot of that on BoBo- as predictable as always- hope they were holding back – team seemed slow
September 2nd, 2012
12:15 am
I seen plenty of enthusiasm. I seen plenty of intensity. This was more of a practice game atmosphere after awhile. 13 true freshman playing. 5 true freshman starting. Half the defensive starters missing. Murray being the same Murray. We need our defensive starters BACK more than anything and MUST weather the storm until they are back somehow, some way. Murray has got to step it up and become a CHAMPIONSHIP QB. We NEED our defense back, especially Ogletree. Sometimes I think he can play the enitre other teams offense by himself and Rambo and Commings and Vasser are also HUGE losses. Weather the storm men until the defense gets back and UGA will be fine. Step up tp the next level Murray. NOW. Get healthy Mitchell….Go Dawgs!

UGA fans….make all the excuses you want (starters missing, freshman playing, cupcake opponent, etc.). There is no excuse for that performance today. UGA should have beaten the crap out of BUFFALO.
No way UGA is the #6 team in the country. UT looks like the best team in the East, and NOBODY is on Alabama or LSU's planet.
September 2nd, 2012
3:06 am
Yea, these "fans" complaining are really gt/florida fans. Fire our coaches, because they didn't blow out a team in the first half? Sounds like a dumb fan, or opposing team fan. If Georgia can still win 45-23 when they play like crap, imagine what they can do when they are on their A game. At least they learn from this game, and play more focused against Missouri.
September 2nd, 2012
7:00 am
UGA is not as bad as they looked at times on Saturday, but I definitely think they are overrated….AGAIN! Lot of talent on this team, but they still lack that "killer instinct". Gave up three sacks, two of them to a three man rush. Murray missing wide open recievers will not fly in conference play. Firing coaches is unrealistic, and frankly, ridiculous. Depth appears to be an issue, especially on defense. A lot of young guys have to get better, quick. Watching Bama on TV last night just reminds us all how much better they are than my beloved Dawgs!
September 2nd, 2012

why did we hire will friend….the o-line gave up 3 sacks to the bulls???…it's going to beanother long year for murray, he will get hit alot…..over throw wr's all year long.franklin will set an ncaa record against us next sat
September 2nd, 2012

I think richt should resign after mizzo whips us sat night…He is fat and rich now and he just don't care….grantham also needs to lose about 60 lbs….he looked like he was going to pass out during the game…
September 2nd, 2012
8:31 am
I just read where thousands left at half-time. Thousands more after 3 quarters. I don't blame you losers for leaving that pathetic over rated team. Some things never change. Anytime UGA is rated in the top 10 preseason, they fall flat on their face during the season. Your super duper defense gave up 350 yards on defense and 23 pts. to WHO???? Looks like long season boys. YOU dreams are already over.
September 2nd, 2012
8:34 am
Fans in the stadium were pathetic as usual. If there was a ranking on the best college fan base that really shows intensity and excitement, UGA would be near the bottom. Yes, players feed off a loud and excited stadium as well irrespective of the opponent. SOS…and I don't mean 'help'.
September 2nd, 2012

I agree mcdawg…about gilliard…..but i disagree about malcome..he lacks sec speed!!! he has a broken hand now anyways….Samual and harton will have to step it up this sat. and no…buffalo still sucks….they will be 4-8 this year
September 2nd, 2012
9:22 am
First, stinger don't you have something better to do than hate the dogs? It makes you look so immature. The facts from an objective observer
1 the defense showed up for one half without 5 starters
2 kicking game and special teams look improved
3 offensive line showed some real promise
4 Gurley is for real, so is Marshall
5 Buffalo is better than advertised
6 UGA played down to the competition… This is coaching
7 lots of mental errors… This is coaching as well
We will probably drop in the polls because we didn't cover the spread. If the defense plays like this next week we will lose. If we put it all together we win going away.

yea buffalo is better than akron and georgia state….if that helps you sleep at night….geez…wth is wrong with y'all disney dawns

10:15 am
I see the "going thru the motion" experience is off to a shaky start.
Told ya about the half empty stadiums and remaining problems from last season…below average running game + a way overhyped DC\defense but at least they did not collapse in the 4Q vs Buffalo.
Looks very scary going to Mizzou without a secondary now doesn't it? Just wondering how BUFFALO had that many yards with the "quarterback on his back all day"?

September 2nd, 2012
12:18 pm
1) Buffalo's offense is a little better than advertised. Good QB and RB, decent line.
2) UGA played a lot of freshmen.
3) The weather was soup.
1) Everyone knew players would be out. Should have been prepared.
2) Buffalo O-line, QB, RB not nearly as good as what UGA will need to beat.
3) Will our backs avg. 5-10 ypg against a D-line like SoCa, UF, or AU?
4) Special teams (despite the 100 yard return) still seem to be a question mark.
1) UGA had best get it together quick or they will suffer an embarrassing loss next week. Oh, and, Vandy, UT, SoCa, UF, AU would have all beaten the Dawgs on Sat. Haven't seen UK and GT yet.
2) The Dawgs are a much better team than what they showed on Sat. Will they be able to play to their potential? No regrets?
3) Come on!
September 2nd, 2012
1:01 pm
Fellow Dawg Fans, here is the cold hard truth from where I see it. Richt is a good man, and a good coach, but he's not a great coach (and never will be). This team will probabaly finish 8-4, when it has the talent t go 11-1 or 12-0. Look at our neighboring state to the West and the flagship university in their state. They are a football machine, and just reload. They looked like an NFL team last night. What do they have that UGA does not have? Facilities? HS talent (proven fact that the state of GA has btter HS talent than Alabama), money? fan base? No, they actually have a coach that is focused on recruiting the very best, and developing players.
I'm also not sold on opur strength and conditioining program. We looked weak in the 4th qtr last year againt SC, LSU and Michigan State, and then got pushed around yesterday by Buffalo. I don;t want to hear about how hot it was! Buffalo also had to play in the heat! I noticed Mike Gilliard yesterday, and how his arms are no bigger than mine. I then saw Tenn, Bama, Aub, and Clemson's linebackers in their games, and those dudes look like body builders. One of Tenn's LB's has arms as lareg as my legs. Our offensive linemen also do not look as physically developed as Tennessee's or several SEC teams I watched this weekend.
I hope I am wrong, but this may be a long season.
PS: these ridiculous suspensions are insane! Show me another team that deals with this crap at the beginning of every year. If Rambo and Tree do not return this week, we have no shot at Mizzou. Sad.
September 2nd, 2012
1:22 pm
Sorry for the misspelled words. Typing too fast, and watching two little kids!
September 2nd, 2012
1:27 pm
Where was Corey Moore? I see they started a walk-on who probably would not start no where else in the SEC. Norman and S Williams played the entire game without a rest or break, despite a sure UGA victory. I don't get it. Corey made the first tackle of the game on special teams, while Norman made a half of a tackle the entire game as a starting safety. Something is smelling pretty fishy between the hedges.
September 2nd, 2012
2:16 pm
This is what you get when you dont hit in practice and try to "simulate game conditions. You end up w fewer injuries but teams that get their tails handed to them when the game starts. Someone needs to tell the d line to take their roller skates off when the game starts. Getting tired of this coaching staff. They are always making changes but nothing ever seems to work.
September 2nd, 2012
2:18 pm
It's all good ! You people wouldn't be happy if we beat them a 100 to nothing & took players from the student body !! Give them credit our special teams looked alot better. Running game was good ! Defense was vanila ON purpose dumbies or need to realize that they have to play hard on every play. Bama couldn't figure out who or when some one should or should not be in the game !! UGA will be ready next week !! No worries here just a LOLs. In 1980 no one gave us a chance We barely got by at times. But this team has alot to prove to them selves ONLY !!! Not me You or anyone else !! LET THE BIG DAWG EAT

Didn't look like a top ten team. OL still does not fire off the ball, defense looked horrible. Buffalo OL pushed the DL around. Not looking like a top tier defense. I hope this gets a whole lot better against Mizzou.. Seems like a lot of the SEC teams made improvements and UGA still comes out flat as usual. It is all about the coaching staff. This staff does not know how to motivate the players and frankly it's getting old. If they don't improve by next week, it is going to be a long season and time for a new coaching staff.

Captive Ring Tool Set
This tool does but one thing, it cuts captured rings on spindles. I learned how to cut rings using a skew chisel however I was looking for a way to cut smaller and more precise rings for some bottle stoppers that I was planning to make. I opted for this tool because it cut a large variety of ring sizes with just one tool. Thus far I have only used the smaller sized cutters however they are simple to use and cut very nice and well proportioned rings. If I were cutting a lot of rings I would opt for a left and a right cutting tool rather than having to change the tip back and forth with an allen wrench as required with this tool. It does however fit my needs for an occasional hand made gift or special project. I would buy another of these tools if I lost the one I have.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The continued rise in tuition and fees has many students and parents carefully analyzing the cost of college. Does community college make sense for two years? Is the private school worth the extra cash? Finding low-cost opportunities can be the key to more students getting the higher education they deserve. However, every family preparing to take the post-secondary plunge should make sure all college options on the table, especially the most affordable ones, have the proper accreditation. No matter which type of college, accreditation indicates a school has passed certain peer-based assessments and maintains faculty, staff and curricula dedicated to high-quality education. The following page examines low-cost colleges — both traditional and online — and how accreditation ensures that even the least expensive colleges maintain certain quality standards.
Breaking Down Low-Cost Online Colleges
While it may seem like an affordable opportunity, the price of online education depends on the institution and the degree program. For example, many non-profit colleges — traditional colleges and universities — now have full-length, full-time online degree programs at multiple academic levels. Community colleges often have dozens of relatively short-term online programs that end in a specialized diploma, certificate or associate degree. And four-year schools, whether public or private, routinely offer online or hybrid programs for students working toward a bachelor's or master's degree. These online learning options come with price tags comparable to those of a traditional face-to-face program, which means the cheaper the school, the cheaper the online program.
For-profit colleges, however, which specialize in distance learning, can possess very different cost-related pros and cons. For instance, many of these schools are a business, so they do not receive state or federal funding like public colleges or universities do. This can mean higher-than-usual tuition and fees than their brick-and-mortar counterparts. However, taking an online class offers students a unique set of cost-saving benefits, including the lack of commuting, parking fees and other campus-specific fees that may arise. Bottom line, when looking at online colleges, whether traditional or for-profit, analyze the school and program carefully to make sure you get the education you need at the price you want.

Redefining vegetarianism: Oh NO he didn't! »
Chef Yotam Ottolenghi, who I've never heard of, is redefining vegetarianism. BECAUSE HE CAN. JUST KIDDING who the fuck is he? I know you're on TV, Mr. Ottolenghi, but your name isn't Webster, bitch, you're not the damn dictionary. Get it straight: you can always make up NEW words but not just anyone can redefine old words. Like if I want to make up the word "sandwish" (1. the sandwich you wish you had; 2. fictitious sandwich you dream of), that's cool (actually, that's awesome and you're welcome), but you can't run around saying a slice of pizza can now be called a sandwich! THAT'S CRAZY TALK and NARCISSISM.
Here he goes, "'You can be vegetarian and eat fish,' he says. 'It's your choice, just say: "I am what I am." There are no hard core divisions any more.'" As a Popeye fan, I'm all for I am what I am, but if you eat fish, what you am ain't a vegetarian. What you are is someone who doesn't eat any meat besides fish. How hard is that to say? It's no more difficult than saying "I'm vegetarian but I eat fish" and it has the bonus of not being TOTAL BULLSHIT.

Tello, more than 50 years of tradition in the Spanish meat industry
Spanish Fish Preserves: Haute Gastronomy on the Go
Author: Rodrigo García Fernández /©ICEX
Translation: Jenny McDonald /©ICEX
Dani García (Marbella, 1976) studied at the La Cónsula Hospitality School in Malaga and was another of the apprentices of Martín Berasategui who were quick to become leading stars on the Spanish culinary scene. Today, together with José Carlos García (El Café de París in Málaga) and Ángel León (Aponiente in El Puerto de Santamaría), he leads the way for new Andalusian cuisine.
The key to many of his creations is that he brings out their Andalusian essence using tons of imagination, not to mention scientific techniques. Dani García first attracted media attention when he took over the kitchen at the Tragabuches restaurant in the spectacular mountain town of Ronda (Málaga) and demonstrated his interest in culinary innovation.
In 2004, he was taken on by the Meliá hotel group to set up the Calima restaurant in Marbella (Málaga). There, in collaboration with Raimundo García del Moral, Professor of Pathological Anatomy at the University of Granada, Dani was the first to develop the culinary use of liquid nitrogen at -196ºC (-303ºF). For a time he was the only European chef, apart from Blumenthal and Adrià, to use the properties of nitrogen in cuisine. Some examples of this innovative technique are his 'Frozen raff tomato popcorn with raw Motril baby shrimp', and 'Cold olive oil semolina with ham and croutons'.
Another of his discoveries was that certain marine species such as red mullet or sole, when submerged in olive oil at 170ºC (338ºF), swell up like balloons while the skin becomes crisp and the flesh cooks gently in steam. Other fields of study include how to use olive oil at -15ºC (5ºF). and new ways with cuts of Ibérico pork.
Frying, extra virgin olive oil, Iberico pork – Dani is a great believer in the potential of the traditional Andalusian products and recipes. Another clear example are cold soups, one of the bastions of Andalusian cuisine, but going beyond the legendary gazpacho and ajoblanco (a cold soup made of garlic and almonds). This chef not only respects tradition but renews it and gives it added appeal.
In early 2008, Dani García took charge of the Meliá hotel bars and restaurants named Uno by Dani García. The first was opened in Madrid and offers international cuisine with an Andalusian and avant-garde slant. Two events of importance for his career took place in mid-2008. His Calima restaurant re-opened after thorough structural alterations expanding both kitchen and dining area, and Dani announced his personal culinary concept called 'Cocinacontradición', which brings together classic flavors and contemporary preparations.
Also, since July 2008, his personal culinary style has been available at the Calima Palacio de Isora, within the Hotel Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora on the Canary island of Tenerife. This is the twin of Calima in Marbella where this Andalusian chef deploys all his culinary skills.
Dani García also has a passion for tapas, as a visit to the Manzanilla bar in the city of Málaga will show. Though just one of many tapas bars in the city, here the offerings are signature dishes produced by its owner, Dani García.

Easter Sunday is a time for reflection and worship with your congregation for many, but the holiday is in jeopardy for some local church members.
It was around this time last year that Redemption Church started.
"They say about 85 percent of church plans fail within the first year and as of Easter Sunday it will be a year for us," said Pastor Jason Blackburn. "We haven't died yet. We're still pushing."
Working inside the building the church recently acquired has come to a halt.
The church was hoping to get some building material donated from 84 Lumber Company in Hendersonville.
"We got ready for the delivery date and everything kind of fell apart and we didn't have anything at that point," said Blackburn.
Apparently there was a mix-up between the church and a store associate. When it was time to ship the materials, that's when the mix-up was discovered.
"I know it left our church in dire straits, concerned how we would finish our project in time for Easter," said Blackburn. "We're doing our best to make it happen."
A company spokesman released a statement saying, "There was apparently a misunderstanding or miscommunication between a store associate and Redemption Church as to what paperwork was filled out. Redemption Church applied for a line of credit and not a donation request."
The church is hoping someone will donate lumber, drywall and plumbing materials.
"For it to be our biggest Sunday, we will have the biggest opportunity to reach the most people that we ever have," said Blackburn.
The church started about a year ago and within that time it has moved from location to location. Now there is a permanent building and church leaders hope there is still a slight chance they will be able to hold service there on Sunday.
"We'll do it outside in the parking lot," said Blackburn. "We're thinking about getting some food for everyone who comes. We'll do our best because we are reaching people regardless of what we have inside our building."
Home Depot has donated some material, but the church still needs about $2,500 to finish the building project.
Contact the church through its website.

I think they should make a male version of Hooters
Where guys walk around in just those tight boxer briefs
It shall be called Pythons
the first step towards confidence is not being afraid to be ugly
once you get over the fear of being unattractive and stop equating beauty with other good things in life (friends, love, happiness) it's a lot easier to love yourself unconditionally
your job is not to sit around and be pretty and easy on everyone else's eyes
your job is to do whatever the fuck you want and look however the fuck you want while doing it
This is by far one of the most important things I've seen on tumblr because It describes things I was not able to

Erotic Magic in Ancient Greece
Some "binding" curses in Ancient Greece were said to physically bind victims and inflict injury upon them. Another type sought to bind victims in a different way. The goal was to incite an uncontrollable passion (eros) in the victim.
The common name for these curses, or spells, was agoge or agogimon spells meaning 'a spell that leads' because the aim of the spell was to lead the victim to the practitioner.
Some of these curses mention body parts, often in violent overtones, by which the speaker wishes to enjoin their invisible agents to retrieve the victim. Often spells of this type are accompanied by a figurine depicting the victim bound.
One example of erotic curses comes from a 4th century AD magical handbook which refers to spells dating back further. Philtrokatadesmos thaumastos IV.296-469 is a 'Wondrous Erotic Binding Spell'. It instructs its user to create two figurines; a male in the form of Ares holding a sword, and a female kneeling with her arms behind her back about to be stabbed by the sword. Various vocae magicae or magic words are to be written on the female figures head, eyes, ears, shoulders, arms, hands, breast, belly, genitals, buttocks and feet. The female figure is then to be pierced with 13 copper needles- one in the brain, two in the ears, two in the eyes, one in the mouth, two in the midriff, one in the hands, two in the pudenda, and one in each foot.
During each piercing the practitioner said:
"I am piercing [body part] of her, [name of victim], so that she may remember no one but me, [name of practioner]."
The spell was then written out on a lead tablet and recited.
In Egypt, a single lead tablet and a female kneeling figure, pierced with 13 pins matches this spell has been found in a pot. However the figure itself is not inscribed. It is now housed in the Louvre and has been dated to the 2nd/3rd century AD. In this example a man named Sarapammon who wishes to attract a woman called Ptolemais. His curse tablet reads:
"I deposit this binding charm with you, chthonic gods, Pluto and Kore Persephone Ereskhigal and Adonis, also called Barbaritha, and chthonic Hermes Thoth Phokensepseu erktathou misonktaik and mighty Anoubis Pseriphtha, who holds the keys of the gates to Hades, and chthonic daimones, gods, men and women who suffered an untimely death, youths and maidens, year after year, month after month, day after day, hour after hour, night after night. I adjure all the daimones in this place to assist daimon Antinous.
Rouse yourself for me and go into every place, into every quarter, into every house, and bind Ptolemais, who Aias bore, the daughter of Horigenes, so that she may not be screwed, not be buggered, not do anything for the pleasure of another man, except for me Sarapammon only, whom Area bore, and do not allow her to eat, to drink, to resist or go out or to get sleep apart from me, Sarapammon, whom Area bore. I adjure you, corpse-daimon Antinous, by the dreadful and frightful name of the one at the sound of whose name the earth will open, at the sound of whose name the rivers and the rocks break. I adjure you, corpse-daimon Antinous, by Barbaratham cheloumbra barouch Adonai and by Abrasax and by Iao pakeptoth pakebraoth sabarbaphaei and by Marmaraououth and by Marmarachtha mamazagar.
Do not disobey, corpse-daimon Antinous, but rouse yourself for me and go into every place, into every quarter, into every house and bring me Ptolemais, whom Aias bore, the daughter of Horigenes. Keep her from eating and drinking until she comes to me, Sarapammon, whom Area bore, and do not allow her to have experience of another man except me Sarapammon only. Drag her by the hair, by the inward parts until she does not stand aloof from me, Sarapammon, whom Area bore, and I have her, Ptolemais, whom Aias bore, daughter of Horigenes, subject for me the entire time of my life, being fond of me, loving me, telling me what she has in mind. If you do this, I will set you free."
Along with underworld Greek gods, a Babylonian goddess, Egyptian divinities, daimones and the dead are invoked to carry out the curse.
Hi guys", so you've probably seen the post already but I'm putting it here in art form that there's a petition going around for Trans* rights. It has 4,000+ signatures but needs 20,000 more to be recognized by the government or some shit, I'm not sure. I ain't a political sort of guy.
However what I do know is this baby needs signatures FAST because it's deadline is December 19th!!!
I apologize for bringing this here, I know you probably came here for drawings and all but if you could please spread the word and sign, it only takes 3 minutes to make an account and it'd mean the world to me and other Trans* folks in the United States if you signed.
I suggest all females watch this.
*i suggest all humans watch this.
If you haven't watched this yet, you really should.
This is a must, girls and boys.
I agree that everyone should watch this. This is one of the few videos on female representation in the media that at least tries to point out that the way females are represented has a negative effect on everyone, not just women.
I love that this`touches also on how media affects men, but wow. Stereotypes are perpetuated by television more than in reality, and they are so skewed because they have to be provocative or funny or any number of things that aren't complete or real enough.
This affects not only women and men, but race, gays and lesbians, trans people, all people.
We all struggle against what we are supposed to be, what we are told we should be, and yet when positions in media and PR change, the image doesn't. Because people get those positions by conforming to that image, and breaking out risks loss.
This is why it is so hard for anyone to be who they really are, because they are so busy being what other's expect so as not to be harassed for not being what they are supposed to be.
Oh man, Geena Davis. I love her with all -y heart.
All my followers should watch this video
Everyone needs to watch this and see how harmful misrepresentation and perpetuating harmful stereotypes are not just to a minority group, but to everyone.
Only by adapting a new way of thinking, by treating everyone equally, and even eroding gender roles, can we influence our peers and perpetuate something good.
It'd make me happy if more people watched this.
