The Clean Air Campaign has distributed a Code Red Smog Alert for Gwinnett County and the metro Atlanta for Saturday. It would be the first Code Red exceedance metro Atlanta has experienced since July 7, 2010.
Pollutant: Ozone
Forecasted AQI: 166 CODE RED SMOG ALERT
Air Quality: Because of the predicted concentrations of ground-level ozone, air quality in metro Atlanta is predicted to be "unhealthy."
Health Advisory: Air is more likely to be unhealthy for most people, especially people with heart or lung disease (including asthma), seniors and children. Most people should restrict their outdoor exertion to morning or late evening hours when ozone is low, to avoid high ozone exposures.
Smog Alerts start at Code Orange, or "unhealthy for sensitive groups" (AQI 101-150), and are also issued at Code Red, or "unhealthy" (AQI 151 to 200) and Code Purple, or "very unhealthy" (AQI 201 to 300). The hazards of poor air quality increase steadily as pollution levels increase. Each pollutant -- ozone or particle pollution -- carries its own associated health risks and effects.
To date, metro Atlanta has experienced five Code Orange exceedances.
To help improve air quality, The Clean Air Campaign is asking people to look at alternatives to driving alone during the warmer months when air pollution is more likely to form. In metro Atlanta, half of all smog-forming emissions come from the tailpipes of cars, so keeping your car off the road on your way to and from work makes a positive impact. Some commute options aside from the solo drive are:
- Carpooling: Share the ride – you keep pollutants out of our air and reduce traffic. You also cut your commute costs at least in half, and by using the uncongested HOV lane, you save time. Plus on days you're not driving, you arrive to work less stressed.
- Vanpooling: Vanpoolers save money on gas and car expenses and can keep 10 cars off the road every day. Plus vanpools can travel in the HOV lane, so everyone can kick back and relax (unless you're the driver). Vendors in the region provide the vehicle, insurance and the maintenance. If you're looking to join a vanpool or carpool, ARC's RideSmart database has more than 50,000 commuters looking to share the ride too. It will match you with others who work and live near you.
- Transit: Using transit for part or all of your commute means you're reducing air pollution and traffic. It can also save you money.
- Telework: Avoid traffic altogether by working from home. Teleworkers are proven to be 10-20 percent more productive than their in-office counterparts.
- Bike or Walk: Nearly 25 percent of our trips are less than one mile, and if you're not far from work, it's a healthy option. In fact, more than 20,000 metro Atlantans ride their bicycle or walk to work each day.
- Rearranging your work schedule: Instead of changing how you get to work, you might try adjusting when you get there. By driving at off-peak times, you avoid sitting in traffic and pollute a lot less. And by working a compressed work week, you can avoid commuting one day a week.

I love the peacock one! Trying to scheme how I could make that on my own.
None of these are kosher for Hanukkah. The main candle is supposed to be at the end and all the others should be at the same height.
That's not true that these Hanukkah menorahs are not kosher -- all but the Jon Adler Skyline menorah are kosher. The shamash, the traditionally higher candle holder, needs just to be different, distinguished from the rest. It can be lower, on the side, and actually, is usually -- in the middle -- like most of the Hanukkah menorahs (or Hanukias) you see above. The reason why the shamash needs to be different? It's the "worker" candle and its light is ok to use for utility. The other candles are not to be used for anything functional, but to be enjoyed for their spiritual light.
The Skyline is not kosher because the other candles are supposed to be "equal" or alike and this menorah varies the heights of the other candles. Nonetheless, many Jews don't care so much about that. The distinguished shamash, however, you'll nearly always see that in a Hanukkah menorah.
love the peacock one! =)

Hey gang,
I know this isn't Fett related, but I wanted to put this up on all my major forums before I have to sell it on eBay.
I think it is time that I part with my Ep 3 Pre-Vader/Anakin costume. It has been a great costume over the years, but I do not know how much longer I can convincingly pull off a 19 year old Jedi/Sith. This is one of my 501st and Rebel Legion costumes.
This will include: The inner and outer shirts, the obi, the belt and clip, the tabards, 2 pairs of pants, and the boots. The boots are size 12. The belt fits from a size 30-40 and the front two pouches are fully operational (they hold things.) One pair of pants are size 34, the other will easily fit up to a 40" waist. The tabards are made for a person with larger shoulders, but can easily be made smaller.
What's not included: The glove is pretty beat up on the inside at this point and I don't feel comfortable selling it to someone. The saber is old as well and you can get a better on with a detachable blade on the Star Wars Shop.
I have well over $2500 in this as I went top of the line for this costume. I am willing to sell it for $1000 + shipping, o.b.o. Please PM me if interested.
Here are some pics of me in it.

CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames shook up their front office Thursday after a disappointing start to the season, firing general manager Jay Feaster and assistant general manager John Weisbrod.
The Flames have just 26 points this season, good for 13th place in the 14-team Western Conference.
Brian Burke, the team's president of hockey operations, will serve as acting general manager. He said the search for Feaster's replacement is underway.
Sources tell TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger the Dallas Stars have granted Calgary permission to speak with former Flames player and Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk.
Burke felt the moves needed to be made to get the franchise back on track as it tries to pursue a championship.
"I wouldn't have come here if that wasn't the ultimate goal," he said. "I have to look at the steps that have been taken and figure out what's the best way for us to get on that path.
"And I reached the conclusion that we needed to make this change."
Burke, who was hired by the Flames in early September, added that one of the team's priorities is to get tougher and more "truculent."
"We want black-and-blue hockey here, that's what we do in Alberta," Burke said. "We've got to be big and more truculent -- I know you're all waiting for the word, there it is. I want a little more hostility out there than what I'm seeing right now."
Burke said it was tough to fire Feaster, who he called a friend. But he said potentially unpopular decisions come with the job.
"I'm not kissing babies up here," he said. "I'm not running for office. This is about winning hockey games. And I have to take the steps that I think are going to lead us to win the most hockey games we can win."
Calgary took an 11-15-4 record into Thursday night's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"If you look at our record, it's not where we want to be and we have to change it as players," said Flames captain Mark Giordano. "You could call it whatever, but the bottom line is this: as an organization, I've been here for a while now, and right from our owners down, we want to win.
"Nothing else is acceptable. We've got to start winning hockey games and push this forward."
Burke said there are no plans to make any changes to the coaching staff this season.
"When he came in he told me he likes the way that we play," said head coach Bob Hartley. "And this morning he told me again. But at the same time, it doesn't change my job. You come in every day, I have a great coaching staff, we have players that want to learn and they want to work.
"It doesn't really change our day-to-day operation."
Burke said one of the reasons for the shakeup is that he believes the Flames are giving up points in games they should win.
"I'm frustrated like all of our fans are with our inability to hold leads," Burke said. "I love how this team works, I love how the coaches are playing the kids ... I'm just frustrated that we seem to routinely turn third-period leads into losses."
Calgary did not make the playoffs in the two full seasons Feaster served as GM. He took over in an acting role midway through the 2010-11 season, and Calgary did not qualify that year either.
"We wish Jay the best," said forward Matt Stajan. "He's a great man, he did a lot for the guys in that room. It's too bad we didn't show better on the ice but we've got to keep grinding here and find a way to win games."
Feaster previously served as GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who he guided to a Stanley Cup win in 2004.
Burke has had a long career as a hockey executive. He has previously served as GM of the Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Hartford Whalers and Anaheim Ducks, who won the Stanley Cup under his watch in 2007.

One day after an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" to speak up for President Barack Obama, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed returned to the network to handicap Tuesday's second presidential debate.
The question posed by MSNBC's Chuck Todd was simple. What advice would you have for the president? To understand Reed's reply, you need to know that the mayor is a very big boxing fan.
Reed's advice for the president:
"Don't over-correct. When you have sustained as much criticism as the president has, you can over-correct. The president had severe ring rust. You know what it's like being around a president. He's really not accustomed to people talking to him in the way that Mitt Romney did, after four years of running the country. He had ring rust."
I.e., in boxing lingo, Obama was out of practice. Reed continued:
"I compared it to the Ali-Frazier fight in 1971, when Frazier knocked the champ down. Nobody expected that. But Ali went on to win the second and the third fights, and history remembers the winners.
"So I think he can't over-correct, and he needs not to protect his likeability so much. I think he's over-coached on his likeability, which is a very important quality. But the president will do what is needed. That's why he's been down for the last few days."
Late last week, during an interview with the AJC's Daniel Malloy in Washington, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson – a former chairman of the state Board of Education — joined Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and declared his neutrality in the fight over the charter school measure on the Nov. 6 ballot:
Malloy: What do you think of the charter schools amendment?
Isakson: That's up to the state board of education and the Legislature. I'm a member of Congress, so I'm not involved.
Malloy: What do you think about charters in general?
Isakson: I was a big supporter of charter schools when I was chairman of the state school board. The first charter we granted was Addison Elementary in east Cobb, and I was very proud of that. …I'm just a big supporter of charter schools, but I'll let them determine how to structure it at the state level.
An AJC poll this weekend concluded that the contest over the proposed constitutional amendment has become a toss-up.
The Atlanta City Council recently passed a resolution condemning the charter school ballot issue, and sent its opinion to members of the state Legislature.
State Rep. Steve Davis, R-McDonough, who lost a primary bid for re-election, has sent a reply that included this:
Thank you for sending me this very misguided resolution from your council. The very children that stand to gain the most from this amendment are probably in your city.
Anyways, I wanted to inform you that I was in your traffic court a few months ago and noticed that the court room had an old Georgia flag. The flag was changed almost ten years ago. While I could understand if this was someone's office or board room, but in the court room that enforces our current laws? Change the flags in your court rooms to the legal State of Georgia flag as mandated in State Law.
Guessing here, but the "old state flag" is probably the one passed during the Roy Barnes administration, not the older one with the Confederate battle emblem.
Dignitaries attending a Sunday wake/remembrance in Brookhaven for the late Dick Pettys, the long-time political reporter for the Associated Press and – for a few years – InsiderAdvantage, included former Gov. Roy Barnes, University Chancellor Hank Huckaby, a representative of Gov. Nathan Deal, retired political columnist Bill Shipp and Norman Underwood, the former U.S. Senate and gubernatorial candidate.
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson was one of those who delivered eulogies. His deputy chief of staff, Joan Kirchner, who worked with Pettys at AP for nine years, was another.
The most unusual aspect of the evening was "toast" to Pettys made with PayDay candy bars. Bite-sized packages were passed through the pews, followed by a simultaneous, group chomp. This rite was followed by another toast, made with 25-year-old scotch, to Pettys' high school journalism teacher, led by a former classmate, state Rep. Joe Wilkinson, R-Sandy Springs.
My former AJC colleague Tom Baxter has one of the sharper appreciations written on behalf of the dean of the Capitol press corps:
There's no telling how much money Dick Pettys saved the state over the years, but it would be enough to erect a state building in his honor. He did this not with any brilliant investigative stories, but by showing up in a lot of places and watching, by reading bills and asking about the fuzzy particulars, by remembering the tricks people tried to pull long enough to call them out when they tried to pull the same tricks again a few years later.
Simple things, you might say, but all manner of mischief can be uprooted by the patient repetition of those simple things. Sometimes all it takes is one set of eyeballs or one question to thwart a bald-faced grab for money or power. That makes it all the more disturbing that there are fewer eyes watching government these days, and fewer mouths to ask the questions.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner will be in Georgia today on behalf of Lee Anderson, the GOP challenger to U.S. Rep. John Barrow. From the Augusta Chronicle:
Boehner, an 11-term congressman from Ohio, will campaign for Anderson at a $250-a-head fundraiser Monday night at the West Lake home of Martinez businessman Wayne Brown.
Boehner's appearance, on the heels of a appearance Thursday by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for Anderson in Sandy Springs, speaks to the high-profile nature of the House race. An Anderson win, along with a victory by state Rep. Doug Collins in the new 14th Congressional District, could shift Georgia's GOP delegation in Congress from eight to 10.
Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee is out with another TV ad on Anderson's behalf – which could have curious implications:
The ad takes Barrow to task for declaring that his support for President Barack Obama "is beside the point."
That's all well and good. But throughout the general election, Anderson has said he wouldn't debate Barrow until the Democratic incumbent admitted his support for Obama on television.
Well, that condition has now been met, and in a GOP ad no less. So when's the debate?
Christmas has come early for a certain court official in south metro Atlanta. From a summary issued by Georgia's high court this morning:
The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled in favor of Fayette County Solicitor-General Jamie Inagawa, partially reversing a lower court's ruling and finding that the Fayette County Board of Commissioners illegally reduced Inagawa's salary and must now pay him more than five years of back pay.
The tone-deaf headline over a Barack Obama press release that arrived Sunday:
Musician Bruce Springsteen Adds Iowa Appearance for Obama-Biden Campaign
Apparently, the Electrician Bruce Springsteen and the Actuary Bruce Springsteen were busy.
One more tidbit to remind you that life is serious business. From the New York Times:
Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar al-Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster, according to American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats.
That conclusion, of which President Obama and other senior officials are aware from classified assessments of the Syrian conflict that has now claimed more than 25,000 lives, casts into doubt whether the White House's strategy of minimal and indirect intervention in the Syrian conflict is accomplishing its intended purpose of helping a democratic-minded opposition topple an oppressive government, or is instead sowing the seeds of future insurgencies hostile to the United States.
The AJC's Politifact Georgia today takes a look at an international Social Security agreement that, a group called the Senior Citizens League has declared, would give "millions of Mexican citizens" who become "a far stronger claim to benefits and protection against cuts than U.S. citizens!"

Attaboy Johnny. Now that you're firmly attached to the money-tit in Washington, don't do or say anything that might scare off your rightwing base back home, no matter what your beliefs and principles might once have been…after all, it's become a 'profit deal'.

The idea of our Mayor having the time or bluster to go to DC whenever asked to shill for a presidential candidate, and that somehow being accepted as what the people of Atlanta expect from our mayor would have been laughable 20 years ago. It still is. Kasim is so out of his depth and such an outright liar, he ought to stay home and deal with potholes.

Kasim Reed was outstanding on "Meet the Press" on Sunday (Oct. 14, 2012). He was not buying any spin stated by others. He was razor sharp in his perceptions and in his impacting remarks. Reed is an asset to Atlanta, Georgia, and America. I hope he continues to be given opportunities to voice his opinions in national forums such as "Meet the Press." He is authentic and very well-informed. No "bull" from Kasim Reed. Straight to the truth. Bravo!

So according to Reed Obama is not accustomed to people talking to him the way Romney did. Fear of speaking truth to power for whatever reason –maybe afraid of being Cory Bookered or being called racist (doesn't make any difference you will be called that anyway)–has done this guy no favors. He seems clueless about what is going on in the world. Another example of why every king needs a fool–as long as his name is not Biden and he is not next in succession to the throne.
October 15th, 2012
1:51 pm
Kasim Reed was an embarrassment to our city. He had nothing of substance to say, and one sentence he said I couldn't believe: He defended Obama and made a sweeping statement like (paraphrasing – need to see the transcript) "whether YOU PEOPLE like it or not." Wow. What was that supposed to mean? Talk about having a chip on your shoulder.
October 15th, 2012

No, Mayor.
Brain rust.
October 15th, 2012
2:32 pm
I think Mayor Reed was correct. President Obama did have some ring rust. Anyone remember Ali vs Forman. President Obama did a good job playing defense in the 1st debate. He used the ropes and allowed Mr. Romney to punch himself out. This strategy is known as "Rope-A-Dope". In the 2nd debate President Obama knows Romney is ready to be knocked out. President Obama will "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee"and Mr. Romney will say "no mas".

Ring rust? I thought Al Gore said it was the altitude. I really think it's just Obama. He has nothing to run on except a cash giveaway. For all practical purposes dump truck loads of money have been rolling out of DC, going no particular place, serving no particular purpose, just money flying out the back, driving this country deeper into debt. As several CEOs have said recently if he gets another 4 years to do the same thing he's done in the past 4 then it's over with for this country.
October 15th, 2012

Readers can judge Mayor Reed's performance on "Meet the Press" for themselves. Below is a video clip from yesterday's "Meet the Press" broadcast, in which Reed defends Biden's performance in the Biden/Ryan debate.

Someone should tell him to forget about being polite. Forget about trying to build consensus. Lay the truth of Romney's lies out there coldly; strip his lies bare. Practice saying, "Nonsense, Governor!"

Why doesn't Obummer just tout his own record and accomplishments and then everyone wouldn't really care what Romney had to offer, correct?
October 15th, 2012

And, below is a video clip from "Meet the Press" (10/14/12) in which Mayor Reed defends President Obama's authentic strength as opposed to the "Bushlike bluster" by Romney's team. See below: (Reed speaks at the end of the clip.)

"He's really not accustomed to people talking to him in the way that Mitt Romney did"
That is true: Obama is not used to being confronted with facts about his miserable record as president. He'd just as well get used to it, though. Fortunately for him, he won't have long to suffer as he will be leaving the White House in January – forever!
Midtown Mike:
"Obama needs some CLR?"
He's already well equipped with that : Can't Lick Romney!
muddy waters:
"Talk about a short memory…."
Talk about being unable or unwilling to correctly assess the performance of the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
"I cannot wait until Nov 7th so that we can finally shut the GOP up for 4 more years."
It's not going to work quite that way. I doubt that we'll be hearing from you on November 7th or at any time after that, unless you change your name.
Mary Elizabeth:
"Reed is an asset to Atlanta, Georgia, and America"
I guess you can speak for Atlanta, but don't try speaking for Georgia and America for I believe they hold a different view.
You simply aren't worth the time or effort.
"President Obama will "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee"and Mr. Romney will say "no mas"."
I wouldn't bet the family farm on it, pal.
"Practice saying, "Nonsense, Governor!"
I don't believe Obama wants tat hand grenade to blow up in his face!
"When you're the POTUS you cannot just go shooting your mouth"
Why should Obama stop shooting off his mouth now? That is all he has done for the past five years!
Fry Big Bird!
Vote for the future of America, Romney/Ryan 2012!

@Republicans are cutting…I'm an Obama supporter but getting tired of the excuses being doled out by supporters and surrogates alike. He caught a beat down the other night. If u were choosing which one to hire who would u have selected?? I didn't see him counter the lies being said by Romney nor mentioning the 47% comment. Romney obviously thought he was going to go there and when he didnt he went on the offensive. The POTUS better grow a pair or borrow Joe's before tomorrow night. So far I've only seen Bill Clinton and Joe Biden speaking matter of factly and w/ conviction. In case the president hasn't noticed there are not a whole lot of good paying jobs out here. He needs to act like he wants to keep the one he's got.

There have been 1600 federal investigations into Obama's cash giveaway (stimulus) and dozens have been arrested and charged and billions wasted on such things as bankrupt wind mill farms and solar panel companies, yet, not a word from "investigative, balanced" newspapers like the AJC.

By Chris Eckard
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Moments before he entered Saturday's game against Maryland, Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee had the rest of his offense jumping to the beat of "Zombie Nation" blaring on the public-address system.
He knew he would have at least two series, and he wanted to make sure his teammates were as fired up as he was. That passion led to direct back-to-back touchdown drives that essentially put the game out of reach midway through the second quarter.
The seamless back-and-forth transitions between Tevin Washington and Lee helped the Tech offense pummel one of the stingier ACC defenses en route to a 33-13 victory.
"I was just ready to go," Lee said. "When we come ready to play, that's when we're at our best."
With a quarterback controversy brewing between the senior and the redshirt freshman, Johnson said he decided Thursday that he would switch between Washington and Lee every two series against the Terps, but that Washington would receive the starting nod.
"We weren't sure how they were going to play defensively with a new coordinator," Johnson said. "We wanted to play both quarterbacks, but I felt it was important to start the game with Tevin because he's more experienced. Whatever they lined up in, he would have a better feel for what checks to make and that sort of thing."
Tech's first drive stalled after crossing midfield, but Washington helped guide the offense 69 yards on the ensuing possession for the first touchdown. Johnson then switched to Lee, who led successive touchdown drives of 33 and 49 yards.
Overall, Lee completed a 26-yard pass, and finished with 64 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Washington quietly had an effective game as well, with 31 rushing yards and a touchdown.
"I thought they both did some good things," Johnson said. "We didn't throw the ball a lot. We threw it four times and, really, we should have completed all four."
The interchanging of quarterbacks didn't seem to have much affect on the rest of the offense, which churned out 370 rushing yards.
"I practice just as much with Vad as I do Tevin," A-back Orwin Smith said. "So it's really just the same thing. You just got out and do your thing."
While Washington wasn't available after the game because he was receiving medical treatment, Lee said their relationship has continued to stay positive.
"Me and Tevin help each other out," Lee said. "When I see something on the sideline, when I see the [defensive end] coming hard or the safety falling off, I'll let him know. But he also does the same thing for me when I'm in. We're going after a common goal and that's to win."
As far as the future is concerned, though, Johnson refused to tip his hand.
"[Tevin's] been the starting quarterback, so he started," Johnson said. "We'll go week by week and see how it goes."

Offense was getting it done today against the nation's 4th best run defense. Need a little better play from the receivers, blocking and …receiving. Overall, pretty good day.

Ken thanks for another good story.
It looks like the team is working through the adversity and not letting the negativity of others get to them. Good effort, Good win! Way to get back on the right tract! Here we are, staring at a very real possibility of winning Coastal!! This is precisely why you don't give up on the season half way through!
Good job using all your resources PJ!! Please get the kicker together before Saturday

That's it! MC you're brilliant! all we have to do is get all the other teams we play to use their 5th string QB/LB and we'll win out! we can even bring Groh back! LOL

A win is a win and we did churn up some yards on a good D.
Been saying this is the best way for Tech to use it's QBs—they each have different talents so utilize them both. Hope we implement a more varied attack on offense—-I still think running Vad from the pistol with a pass-first mentality is better than under center. In fact, I wouldn't even run them in separate series, but even situational—dependent on down and field position—substitute them like RBs and WRs. If Vad operates from the pistol, then there's no "center-QB" exchange concern. He can learn the TO next year—this year, use his athleticism to make plays in a formation that he is confortable with.

After watching saturday, I truly believe that tech can run the table. georgia is very good but can be beaten. there is nothing more discouraging to a team when the other team dominates the clock. It WILL be a contest-count on it!

North Carolina gonna put 50pts on Techs D…
They gonna put 8 in the box and force Tech to throw which Tech hasn't and can't do..
CPJ will play Vlad for 2 series but chicken out cause they losing ..
November 4th, 2012
9:36 am
tired from all the frustrations of being a yellow jacket; You sir having been drinking way to much kool aid. UGA will put up at least 45 on this team, probably more. They might score 21 on special teams alone. Then you factor in that they play Ga Southern, a triple option team the week before they play Tech and we might not score 10 points. Remember we couldn't score a touchdown against BYU. This will be the worst Tech-UGA game in the last 10years since they ran over and around Chan Gailey 51 to something.
November 4th, 2012

Both QBs were equally effective against MD. Vad looked like he is getting the hang of the TO.
November 4th, 2012
10:49 am
Who cares if they were using their 5th string quarterback? Was GT supposed to spot them 3 TDs to make it 'fair'? GT played the Maryland team and beat them, W in the win column.
November 4th, 2012
11:07 am
It would be sweet revenge for the 2009 season, when GT was 10-1 with UGA being 7-6 going into the game. GT has a team, what is critical for them is have CPJ bring a solid game plan and having the right players psyched up to execute. V Lee, S Days, O Smith, D Sims on the field at the same time looked pretty impressive.
November 4th, 2012

Sorry, that should have been 6-5 for UGA's record going into the Tech game in 2009. Still working on the coffee this morning.

Great win for a very young team on the road! Tough one next week against the cheaters. Two-headed quarterback monster is the nightmare ACC defensive coordinators have feared since Coach Johnson came to the Flats! Coach is playing a lot of young guys who are getting valuable game experience. Let's take them one at a time and we can run the table, including the vastly over-hyped country bumpkins in Athens. Let's make plans now to gather at Grant Field in two weeks and cheer on our Yellow Jackets against a good Duke team! I will be there as there is nothing better than a fall afternoon in Grant Field watching the Yellow Jackets play football! The only thing that comes close is basketball games in Alexander Coliseum and Friday I will be there enjoying that!

Why Vad Lee is having to share snaps with Tevin Washington is like asking an Obama voter why he's voting "O" and not for the obvious more qualified candidate.
TW needs to get his diploma, and go make some good money in a job other than football.
Vad Lee is the man!

Hey MC…..Yes, they had a 5th string linebacker playing QB, HOWEVER, he wasn't playing on defense…. the Maryland D had just as many healthy players as they did all season, so this wasn't b/c UM had a 5th string QB…. GT offense moved the ball at will.
Now, if Maryland could have sustained a few drives and kept GT offense off the field, yes the outcome could have been slightly different but I don't see how Maryland was going to stop GT on this day. At best, Maryland probably could have closed the gap…Maybe 33-23 or 33-27….. GT should have made PAT and another FG….so in theory, it could have been 37-24 or 37-30 w/ a healthy MD QB.
November 4th, 2012
2:29 pm
Vad is from Durham…so he will be pumped for this game. CPJ will probably give him majority of the snaps b/c of this.
Duke ran all over UNC…so I don't see UNC being disciplined enough to stop GT offensively. The problem will be stopping Brenard Giovanni…..he'll roll up 200+ yds of rushing and our D will be tired by the 3rd qtr due to hurry up offense UNC runs… UNC 41 GT 35

lee is the better qb we would have at least two more wins if cpj would have played from day one

vad lee should start and play every snap. tevin is a division 2 player and needs to step aside and let vad develop.

Tev is a senior and has started all year so you know he will start against NC and Duke (which is Senior Day).

Birmingham Jacket:
If you really knew much about Tevin you would know he alread had is "diploma" in May!
And I really don't see how you folks can believe that Tevin is the problem, or that Vad is the fix. Neither of them plays defense, and while Tevin is clearly the better passer, maybe ut has not occurred to you that this offense is not set up to feature the forward pass. As if anyone other than the backs could catch a pass!
November 4th, 2012
10:20 pm
I meant VAD is the better passer, sorry.
November 5th, 2012

A-mazed: you crack me up. The biggest Tevin apologist around. You and Take the Wheel, aka TW Fan.
Your arguments for Tevin to start are funny. you never mention stats. you never mention facts. You only make excuses for Tevin (the defense, etc.).
November 5th, 2012
10:25 am
Question for GT / ACC folks. Can NC or Miami play for the ACC championship game this year? NC is on probation from post season and my understanding is the U has banned themselves from post season play while awaiting the NCAA decision. If so wouldn't that put Tech very much in play to go the Charlotte in December?
November 5th, 2012
2:24 pm
tevin deserves to be on the sideline and try to learn how to throw a spiral and then come back in. Vad Lee.

6 Weird Alcoholic Drinks from Around the World
posted in FCS, Food & Drink, Strange . posted by Florin Nedelcu on August 11, 2009 . 40 Comments
So, you're sick of drinking boring old beer and wine every day? You feel like trying something completely new and exciting? Well, you'll have a tough time finding more interesting drinks than the six crazy concoctions you're about to discover:
One of the oldest beverages on Earth, Chica is a maize-derived drink prepared in several South-American countries. Discoveries show Chicha has been consumed for thousands of years, since the time of the Inca, but, nowadays its popularity had decreased considerably and only a few villages in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Costa Rica still prepare it.
Traditional Chicha-makers grind the maize and then chew it to moisturize it. After the human saliva breaks down the starch, the balls of chewed maze are put in large clay vats and warm water is added. After several days of fermentation, Chicha is ready to be consumed. With just 1-3% alcohol, Chicha is not the strongest drink you can try.
Very popular among the people living in the plains of Central Asia, Kumis is a fermented drink made from mare's milk. Described by Herodotus in the 5th century BC, Kumis, just like Chicha, is very old.
To make this unusual dairy product, mare milk is fermented for hours or days, while stirred so it doesn't coagulate. Traditionally, the mare's milk was kept in a horse-hide tied to the saddle and bounced around for a day's ride. Nowadays it is made in wooden vats and, because mare milk is scarce, industrial-producers use cow milk with added sucrose. Kumis is not a very potent drink, containing between 0.7 and 2.5% alcohol.
Lizard Wine
It might sound repulsing, but lizard wine is a very popular drink in China. It's prepared by adding ginseng and Geko lizards into a clay vat, full of fermenting rice wine. After 12 months, the mixture is strained and green liquor is obtained.
Lizard wine tastes a lot like brandy and is said to improve eye-sight and ward of evil spirits.
Baby Mouse Wine
Very popular in China and Korea, baby mouse wine is a considered a cure for anything from the common cold to liver problems. Think of it as cheap remedy for people who can't afford to visit a doctor.
Baby mouse wine is prepared by drowning a large number of baby mice in vats full of rice wine. The critters mustn't be more than 2-3 days old, to ensure the drink ends up being fur-free. The mixture is stored in a dark, dry space for about a year before it can be consumed.
Just one or two glasses of baby mouse wine are enough to get you hammered, but because of its horrible smell and taste, most people shouldn't have to worry about that.
Snake drinks
Just like baby mouse wine, snake liquors are considered powerful cures for a wide array of illnesses, ranging from impotence to hair loss. These drinks are found in the markets of various countries from south-east Asia.
Odd liquors like snake whiskey and snake sake, contain the most poisonous snakes, including several species of Cobra.
Seagull Wine
The weirdest and probably most disgusting drink on our list is also the simplest. Before I explain how it's made, keep in mind that it was invented by Eskimos and they don't really have the luxury of fermenting different types of food in order to get wasted.
Now, as I was saying, seagull wine is so simple you could make it yourself, if you wanted to. But believe me, you don't. You take a dead seagull, stuff it into a bottle (don't ask me how), pour water over it and leave it in the sun until it's done fermenting. That's it.
Don't expect a taste similar to the finest whiskey, after all, we're talking about a fermented seagull. But it packs quite a punch.
40 Comments for "6 Weird Alcoholic Drinks from Around the World"
'Same old beer and wine' ???? Did you really write that?
Beer I don't have time for but how can good wine ever be boring? I suggest you change your identity quickly before the 'wine aficionados lynch mobs' find you. You have doubtless been tried and found guilty 'in absence'.
If the catch you then you can fully expect the same fate as the seagull in seagull wine.
Personally I think you could do no better than to ferment in a nice St Emillion or if the sea breeze is more to your taste then a Bordeaux proper which is a little closer to the ocean. Then again, my home area in Haute Savoie might serve you well. There are some white wines that wont stain the skin. A little on the acid side for my liking though.
Boring wine indeed.
You will recognise the lynch mobs easily enough. They have a sort of 'staggered' march.
Best Regards
mouse wine indeed
well after you get high it doesn't really matter what are you consuming ????
"Baby Mouse Wine
Very popular in China and Korea, baby mouse wine is a considered a cure for anything from the common cold to liver problems. Think of it as cheap remedy for people who can't afford to visit a doctor."
Your knowledge in the asian alcoholic beverage is certainly not up to a level where you can even start writing an article about this – baby mouse wine is seldom drunken in China, yes, but it is most certainly not popular. And the very existent of baby mouse wine in Korea is ridiculous. You may want to research a bit more.
Chicha is also still made all around Honduras and some parts of Nicaragua.
These are all very interesting, some I would even try. Thanks for the info. Keep on Keeping On.
You haven't said anything about tzuica and palinka, the strongest drinks made in Romania!
I know he commented over a year ago but Philip Jones made me literally laugh out loud. Heed his words…Those wine aficionados will mess you up!

Three ancient villages
We woke up early in the morning in order to drive out to the ancient villages of Anyi county. By doing this, we missed the crowds and also, I caught my train home right on time.
This is an area of the province where they grow rapeseed plants, same as in Saskatchewan. Leona was surprised that I had seen them before. Lots of people would stop on the side of the road and take pictures in the fields.
Tall buildings and soup
... dances and went down to stroll around the gardens.
For dinner, Leona's mother in law made some marinated pork, dumplings, lotus root and some sort of leafy vegetable. Delicious.
Then we went out to see the giant musical fountain. The biggest one I ever saw. When we got back I was so tired and went right to bed. I took a video but it didn't work.

The Nanchang New Year Adventure
... might be my last Winter Break in China. No, I don't mean leaving China and my life here I simply mean NOT spending another Sprig Festival here. It's getting too much and as more and more people's lives prosper each year more and more people are choosing to travel for their winter holiday. So I figured why not set Plan ...
We eat green vegetables
... the service stopped for the night.
We had no plans to do anything here except catch a bus; the problem is that our bus to-day doesn't leave until 3:40pm, so we just wandered a bit. Nanchang is by no means a lovely city, but there are few cities in the world that are. It's certainly not worth the disdain it received from others when I told them I was coming here.

Snow keeps DOT crews busy in N.C. mountainsUPDATED 12:29 PM EST Jan 22, 2014
Their goal was to keep the main roads passable for work traffic.Video Transcript
colder on tuesday of next week. THE SUN IS HELPING THAW THINGS OUT IN THE MOUNTAINS RIGHT NOW. IT WAS A BITTERLY COLD MORNING...ESPECIALLY WITH THE WIND CHILL. THE BIG CONCERN WAS ICE ON THE ROADS. WYFF NEWS 4'S SEAN MUSERALLO HAS MORE FROM MADISON COUNTY. "Snow in the mountains kept Department of Transportation crews busy Wednesday morning including this crew member out here at the welcome center right near the north carolina line. They worked through the night to dump sand and salt on the main roads. Then followed up overnight. The goal: keep the main roads passable for work traffic. Here is a truck on I-26 in hard hit Madison County. Several inches of snow on the ground. The secondary roads did not get as much attention. 21:52 "it's straight uphill. it's a gravel road, I mean a gravel driveway. and I mean it gets a lot of snow and it's real tough." as you just heard him say there, the secondary roads where drivers found the most slick spots. DOT crews had to keep their attention focused on the main highways for morning commuters. The ski resorts got a helping hand today too. But many of them still started making some of their own snow early this morning. By and large the big story this morning was just the cold, bitterly cold temperatures and those wind gusts early this morning. What snow has fallen on the ground will melt and DOT crews will continue to watch it. i'm sean muserallo wyff news 4 in madison county."

Cancer Research Highlights
MicroRNAs Linked to Trastuzumab Resistance, Brain Metastases
Researchers have tied increased levels of a microRNA (miRNA) to resistance to the targeted therapy trastuzumab (Herceptin) in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. Another research team has discovered a "signature" of miRNAs in brain metastases in patients with melanoma—a signature that is also present in the primary tumor and could identify melanoma patients at increased risk of brain metastases. The results from both studies were presented yesterday at the AACR annual meeting.
In the first study, a team from the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center showed that HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines with experimentally increased miR-21 levels were resistant to trastuzumab compared with cell lines with lower miR-21 levels, according to Sumaiyah K. Rehman, a graduate student in the lab of Dr. Dihua Yu, who presented the findings at a press briefing. Tumor samples from patients with HER2-positive tumors that were resistant to treatment with trastuzumab had elevated miR-21 levels, Rehman explained.
In both cell lines and mouse models of breast cancer, inhibition of miR-21 levels increased the sensitivity to trastuzumab. Lower levels of miR-21 were also associated with decreased expression of the tumor-suppressor gene PTEN, which previously has been linked to trastuzumab resistance. The findings suggest that expression of miR-21 and PTEN could be "biomarkers of who may or may not respond to trastuzumab treatment," Rehman said.
In the second study, researchers from the New York University School of Medicine analyzed samples of metastatic tumors from a cohort of 59 patients with melanoma and identified a signature of 7 miRNAs present at different levels in metastases to the brain as compared with metastases to other sites in the body. They were able to validate this signature in tumor samples from a separate cohort of 36 patients, reported lead investigator Dr. Eva Hernando. A smaller signature involving some of these same RNAs was also seen in the primary tumors of these same patients.
Cell line and mouse model studies also showed that silencing one of the miRNAs in the signature, miR-199-3p, was associated with the ability of melanoma cells to adhere to endothelial cells and migrate to the brain.
Establishing such an miRNA signature "could allow us to identify [melanoma] patients at higher risk of brain metastases," Dr. Hernando said, meaning that these patients could be identified for intensified surveillance and be enrolled in clinical trials. Some of the implicated miRNAs also "could be targets for novel therapeutic attacks," she said.
Diabetes Drug Metformin Prevents Lung Tumors in Mice
The diabetes drug metformin helped prevent tumors in mice that were exposed to a cancer-causing agent found in tobacco, said researchers at the AACR annual meeting. Compared with untreated mice, those that received the drug had a 53 percent reduction in lung tumor burden after exposure to the carcinogen, which is called nicotine-derived nitrosamine. The animals were treated with an oral form of metformin for 13 weeks at drug levels that would be achievable in humans, the researchers said.
"Metformin is a very interesting drug for cancer prevention," said lead researcher Dr. Phillip A. Dennis of NCI's Center for Cancer Research, who presented the results. "We prevented over half of the lung tumors that would have occurred from exposure to the main carcinogen in tobacco, and that's a real and important reduction." Dr. Dennis' group is planning a clinical trial to test the FDA-approved drug in people at highest risk of developing lung cancer, he said.
When the researchers administered metformin to mice by injection, the drug levels were higher and the anticancer effects were even stronger—the drug reduced lung tumors by 72 percent compared with no treatment. Although this method of administration is not feasible for cancer prevention in humans, analogs of metformin that are more potent may well be more effective than the drug itself, Dr. Dennis noted. With any chemopreventive agent, however, minimal toxicity is critical, and metformin was well tolerated in the mice. In fact, the livers of the treated mice not only showed no signs of toxicity, but they actually appeared healthier than those of untreated mice.
This may be the first study to show the potential for metformin in preventing lung cancer, but preclinical studies in mouse models of breast cancer have also yielded positive results. In addition, epidemiological studies of hundreds of thousands of patients with type 2 diabetes have shown that those who take metformin have a lower risk of many types of cancer. Together, these results provide a rationale for studying the role of this drug in cancer in a variety of clinical settings, the researchers noted.
Cancer Risk Tools May Need Regular Recalibration
A new study of a statistical tool for assessing a woman's risk of breast cancer—commonly known as the Gail model—suggests that such tools may need to be updated regularly to account for underlying trends in the population that may influence results, researchers reported online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on April 5.
This validation study of the Gail model found that the tool underestimated the number of invasive breast cancers among women in two large population-based cohort studies. This meant that a small percentage of women did not meet the recommended threshold for using chemoprevention drugs such as tamoxifen or raloxifene, even though the women would have qualified based on a recalibrated model. The cohort studies were the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study and the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial.
The researchers, led by Dr. Ruth M. Pfeiffer of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, attributed the underestimation primarily to differences in the breast cancer rates that were used to develop the Gail model (SEER data covering 1983 to 1987) and population rates for the time periods covered by the cohort studies used in the validation (1995 through 2003 for NIH-AARP and 1993 through 2006 for PLCO).
Breast cancer rates in the United States rose steadily in the 1990s, leveled off in about 2000, and then dropped substantially starting in 2003, when the use of menopausal hormone therapy was linked to breast cancer risk. The performance of the model improved greatly after the model was updated with population rates of invasive breast cancer in SEER data for 1995 to 2003, the researchers noted. The Gail model was well calibrated when the validation was restricted to PLCO data for the years 2003 to 2006.
Many women and health care professionals use a publicly available version of the Gail model called the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) to inform decisions about breast cancer prevention. This tool, which takes into account a woman's medical and reproductive history as well as her family history of the disease, is being updated using incidence data from the SEER program and will continue to be updated regularly in the future, the researchers said. As current SEER incidence rates are similar to the original rates included in the model, the updating will not substantially affect the current BCRAT outputs but may play a more important role in the future.
"Our study shows that to ensure that a risk model is continuously useful for clinical decisions, the model has to be updated on a regular basis," said Dr. Pfeiffer. "The take-home message is that to do good risk prediction, we have to watch out for trends in the population over time that could affect the model."
Profiling Airway Cells May Identify Smokers at Highest Risk of Cancer
Researchers have found that improper activation of a signaling pathway in the airway cells of some smokers and former smokers is an early step in the development of lung cancer. In addition, the researchers identified a compound that inhibited the activation of this pathway, called the PI3K pathway, in some individuals with precancerous lesions. A team led by Drs. Avrum Spira of the Boston University College of Medicine and Andrea Bild of the University of Utah reported their findings in the April 7 Science Translational Medicine.
In previous work, these researchers showed that profiling the activity of 80 genes in cells from a patient's airway could help distinguish smokers with and without lung cancer. Although these airway cells, collected during bronchoscopy, may appear normal under the microscope, they may also show abnormal patterns of gene activity associated with lung cancer. Toxins in cigarette smoke can alter the behavior of genes in cells throughout the respiratory tract, and these changes can be used for diagnostic purposes, the researchers said.
After identifying the activation of the PI3K pathway, which plays a role in a number of cancers, the researchers asked whether a drug was available to counter this effect. In a study of a small number of smokers with bronchial dysplasia, they found that treatment with myoinositol—a compound naturally found in some foods that has shown anticancer effects in mice—caused the regression of these precancerous lesions in the majority of subjects. The activity of the PI3K pathway was decreased in subjects whose lesions regressed but not in those subjects whose lesions were unchanged.
"These results suggest that deregulation of the PI3K pathway in the bronchial airway epithelium of smokers is an early, measurable, and reversible event in the development of lung cancer and that genomic profiling of these relatively accessible airway cells may enable personalized approaches to chemoprevention and therapy," the researchers concluded.
Larger studies are needed to confirm the role of the PI3K pathway in early lung cancer and to evaluate myoinositol in humans. NCI has an ongoing phase II clinical trial of myoinositol open to participants with bronchial dysplasia. The study will assess the compound's ability to reverse precancerous changes in the lung, measure markers of lung cancer and lung cancer risk, and establish a safety profile.
Peptide Helps Chemotherapy Penetrate Deep into Tumors
Many anticancer drugs can only penetrate a few cells away from the blood vessels that carry them into a tumor, limiting their ability to kill cells that lie deeper. In a proof-of-concept study, researchers led by Dr. Kazuki Sugahara from the University of California, Santa Barbara, showed that a tumor-penetrating peptide called iRGD, injected along with several common chemotherapies, greatly increased the amount of drug that reached tumor cells in mice. Their results were reported April 8 in Science.
iRGD binds to proteins found in the lining of tumor blood vessels but not in blood vessels found in normal tissue. Upon binding, iRGD appears to trigger an active transport process that drives drugs into the tumor tissue from the blood stream.
The researchers injected iRGD along with chemotherapy drugs in mice bearing human tumor xenografts. The combination increased accumulation of nanoparticle-embedded paclitaxel in breast cancer cells 12-fold, of doxorubicin in prostate cancer cells 7-fold, and of trastuzumab in breast cancer cells 40-fold, compared with accumulation in tumor cells when the chemotherapy drugs were given alone. These increases were observed even though iRGD was not chemically attached to the drugs.
The addition of iRGD also increased drug potency. For example, 1 mg/kg of doxorubicin plus iRGD injected intravenously was as effective at eradicating tumors in mice as 3 mg/kg doxorubicin given without iRGD, and it did not increase toxicity.
"Coadministration of iRGD may be a [way] to enhance the efficacy of anticancer drugs while reducing their side effects, a primary goal of cancer therapy research," concluded the authors. They caution that iRGD has not yet been tested for safety or efficacy in people.
A new analysis of childhood cancer statistics estimates that 38,000 cancer-related deaths in children were averted in the United States between 1975 and 2006, largely thanks to new drugs, improved treatment strategies, and past investments in clinical trials. But clinical research on these diseases is at a crossroads, the study authors cautioned in the April 19 Journal of Clinical Oncology. The era of steady improvements in outcomes by optimizing the delivery of conventional therapies is coming to a close, they wrote, while the era of targeted therapeutics is just beginning.
"Our progress has slowed, and now we need a deeper understanding of the biology of childhood cancers and the genes and pathways that drive them," said lead author Dr. Malcolm Smith of NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program in a statement. "With this understanding, we can identify susceptibilities that can be therapeutically exploited so that we continue moving forward toward the goal of curative therapy for every child diagnosed with cancer."
The promise of this strategy has been demonstrated by early results such as those from the Childhood Cancer TARGET Initiative, an NCI-supported project that brings together investigators with expertise on childhood cancers and genome analysis, the authors noted.

Score one for the home team.
This past weekend in San Francisco, the 1st annual Good Food Awards recognized American food producers and the farmers that provide their ingredients. Organized by Seedling Projects, an organization dedicated to supporting the sustainable food movement, the Good Food Awards selected winners in seven categories: Beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, coffee, pickles and preserves.
Pine Street Market, the only Georgia entry selected as a finalist, earned one of the 71 awards given for their PSM Coppa in the charcuterie category. Owner Rusty Bowers opened Pine Street Market in March of '09, and began making some fantastic charcuterie and sausages. I've always known Pine Street as a source for some of the best cured meats in the city, but it seems I should expand that to include the rest of the country as well.
Bowers' winning Coppa, made with Berkshire pork from Gum Creek Farms in Roopville, Ga, is a favorite of mine, but I think Rusty himself can describe it better than I can:
PSM Coppa is a richly marbled whole cured pork shoulder seasoned with garlic, chilies and black pepper. It's dry aged for 4-5 months and sliced paper thin. The result is a velvety, delicate flavor that showcases pork at its best. Aside from stealing the spotlight on any antipasto platter, Coppa makes a fantastic panini or savory wrap for shrimp, melon and figs.
The winning Coppa, along with the rest of Pine Street Market's meats – including their bacon, which I regularly keep stocked in my fridge – are available for order online, or in their store in Avondale Estates. PSMs wares are can also be found at the Peachtree Road Farmer's Market, Marietta Square Farmer's Market, Dunwoody Green Market, Newnan Market Day, and multiple restaurants around Atlanta.
Congrats Rusty!

Item # MAV0479
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Women's Shorts we have in stock.
Mavic Bellissima Women's Shorts $0.00
Sleek and fast.
Mavic's Bellissima Women's Shorts provide the compressive fit and technical features that're required to ride with peak form. So, whether you're hitting base miles or suiting up for race day, the Bellissima will easily find its way to being your 'go-to.'
Constructed from Mavic's Sleek Power fabric (a lightly structured, highly elastic blend of polyamide, elastane, and Lycra), the Bellissima effectively pulls perspiration away from the skin in order to keep you dry and comfortable. However, while wicking capabilities are an expected touch, Sleek Power is only starting to show its form. As a certified Power Lycra, this fabric features a higher-than-average fiber weight along with a dense knit. And as a result, the material provides a compressive support that alleviates the fatigue-inducing effects of road vibration and muscle oscillation. So, you'll be able to deliver more power to the pedals for a longer period of time. However, don't think that this benefit comes at the cost of sacrificed flexibility. In fact, Sleek Power has a better-than-normal stretch property that's been engineered into the material. So, you're able to pedal freely, and maneuver around your bike, without any pinching or discomfort.
Of course, though, no pair of shorts are complete without a quality chamois. And in this application, Mavic opted for its Ergo 3D pad. It provides and anatomically correct support that's supplied by three different densities and six different thicknesses. A moisture wicking, low density, and open cell foam pulls perspiration away from the skin. Additionally, it has an antimicrobial treatment that combats bacteria, keeping both the insert and your skin clean and comfortable. This first layer is incredibly soft against the skin in order to prevent irritation, but for long-distance comfort, it uses two more higher density foams. Essentially, the reason for varying these sections is that your body doesn't require the same level of support throughout. Instead, you'll find that the chamois provides more cushion at the sit bones, and less towards the front.
To securely hold the Bellissima securely in place, Mavic incorporated its Ergo Waist. Basically, this is a wide, highly elastic insert with silicon grippers that effectively prevents any pinching throughout the movements of cycling.
To securely hold the Bellissima securely in place, Mavic's Ergo Waist, a highly elastic insert with silicon grippers, is extra wide to prevent pinching.
The Mavic Bellissima Women's Shorts are available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black and Black/white.

From A to B and Back Again | The Photography Blog
© Fred Stein, 1961, Portrait of Hermann Hesse
100 years ago, in 1913, Hesse's book Aus Indien : Aufzeichnungen von einer indischen Reise was first published by Fischer.
Above photo is one of my favourite portraits of Hermann Hesse. The photographer Fred Stein lived, worked, and shared the intimacy of those who were, and remain the greatest intellectuals, thinkers, artists, poets, musicians and writers of the 20th century. They were also represented moral consciousness, demonstrating their refusal of a world where dark clouds of intolerance and fascism were forming over Europe. More of his pictures here.
Swiss German novelist and poet Hermann Hesse lived through two World Wars in which he tried to voice his concerns. Denied in the First World War to go into combat due to an eye disorder and other health problems, he was given the responsibility to guard war prisoners.
While under military service, Hesse wrote an essay entitled O Freunde, nicht diese Töne (O Friends, Not These Tones) which appeared in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung in 1914. In it he petitioned the Germans to beware of zealous nationalism. This essay caused an immense backlash towards Hesse from many political and intellectual groups. Weary of German nationalism, Hesse gave up his Geman citizenship in 1923 to become a Swiss citizen instead.
Later in the 1930's during the upbuild to the second World War, Hesse helped fellow writers Bertolt Brecht and Thomas Mann go into exile. Hesse remained safe in Montagnola, Switzerland where he had been living since 1919. The Nazis however, banned his work. (+)
© Martin Hesse, ca. 1960, Hermann Hesse at his writing desk, Montagnola
Above picture shows Hermann Hesse in his home in Montagnola. It was photographed by his third son Martin. Martin Hesse's mother was Maria "Mia" Bernoulli, Hermann Hesse's first wife. She was a freelance photographer - the first woman, incidentally, to have done so in Switzerland - with her own studio in the old quarter of Basel, where Hermann Hesse first met her.
Shortly before they marry in 1904, Hesse writes to a friend about Mia, saying that she is a woman "at least equal to me in terms of education, experience of life, and intelligence, older than me, and in every respect a self-reliant, hard-working person."
Mia, who was always an introspective woman, increasingly withdraws into herself while, at the same time, her husband is seeking to flee bourgeois existence through travelling and writing. It is impossible for outsiders to judge what came first: Hermann's tendency to take flight or Mia's depressions. (…) By 1918 a resolve was maturing in Hesse to bring about a physical separation, which coincided with a drastic deterioration in Mia's health and her admission to a psychiatric clinic. Even during this time, Hesse retains a basically respectful attitude and continues to regard Mia as a strong personality. (+, +)
His second marriage to singer Ruth Wenger, whom he married in 1924, quickly dissolved in divorce. It was in his third marriage to Ninon Ausländer, an art historian of Jewish descent, that Hesse finally found the love and stability he so desired. (+)
