We start off in the hallowed halls of good old Crawford College, where Matt's chemistry teacher is handing back some tests. These are just practice tests, though, and they don't count. Golly, that sure is nice of the teacher! At most schools, pre-med is so competitive that introductory science courses are used to weed students out, not nurture their self-esteem. I'm glad Crawford Clown College is a kinder place; I just know that I wouldn't let Matt within fifty yards of me with a scalpel -- or a bottle of seltzer, for that matter. The prof attempts a little stand-up routine but it fails miserably. He fares a bit better at hammering home this scene's Important Message, which is that one must study hard in order to be a doctor. Wow, that's some news flash. By the way, Matt received a 'D' on the test. Since 'D' is the first letter in "Dopey," it's obviously a shout-out to me. Aw, thanks! After all the shout-outs they gave Gwen last week, I'm glad they still love me too.
I wonder if the writers have ever had to deal with a car insurance company in real life. I'm guessing not, since they expect us to believe that Mary got her insurance company to extend the deadline for her insurance payment. But maybe I'm just not giving RevCam enough credit; he may be important enough to control the insurance company, the same way he controls the police. Someone needs to revoke the charter of Mary's charm school, and fast. She is ruder than ever as she yells at her insurance rep from a payphone at the pool hall. A co-worker tells her to get back to work, adding that the manager is unhappy with her. Him and Aaron Spelling both, I'm sure. The insurance rep has wisely hung up on her ass.
In the CamKitchen, Eric is making dinner so Annie can study. In his hand is a casserole, onto which he's sprinkling either fairy dust or smooshed-up potato chips. We learn that the casserole is of the tuna persuasion. We also learn that Mary won't be home for dinner and that she has been stiffing the CamRents for the room and board they've started charging her. Considering dinner is Eric's tunafish concoction, it seems that Mary's just showing some good judgment for a change. Lucy, Ruthie, and Simon arrive home from school. Lucy is clad entirely in particularly skanky-looking pleather; RevCam doesn't bat an eyelash. His shirt-stapling fit from last week's episode must have been an anomaly. Ruthie, who's wearing a pleather jacket, gives her parents a summons from her school principal. She brushes off their questions and asks if they've been able to get her out of Miss Riddle's class. When RevCam replies that they're "working on it," Ruthie orders him to "work faster." She rolls her eyes and walks out of the room. Sure, I roll my eyes at the CamRents too, but not right in front of them, jeez. Simon "The Eyebrows of Oscar the Grouch" Camden needs a signature on his tardy slip. I notice he's wearing no pleather. He says he hates high school. I bond with him for a millisecond over that, then come to my senses again. I blame it on the fact that I'm feeling vulnerable because I've got a cold. But I want to make it at least to the opening credits before I start self-medicating with lemon, honey, and rum. Oops -- we're out of lemon and rum, so I guess I'll have to make do with beer. Lucy's all chipper as she oh-so-annoyingly brags about not being in trouble and loving high school. She starts to tell us why she loves high school so much. "I was..." she says, then stops to wait for the doorbell to ring and "interrupt" her in mid-sentence. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it might be this week's special guest star at the door. For some unexplained reason, the CamRents must answer the front door together. They rudely leave their forlorn-looking daughter in the kitchen to finish her announcement for the benefit of Happy and the twins. Are you ready? Lucy was nominated for Homecoming Queen. I know, I'm pretty underwhelmed too. The editors cut in some unrelated footage of one of the twins clapping and Happy barking while Lucy pretends to be grateful for their "support."
Well, whaddaya know, I was right! This week's special guest star is at the door, and right before the opening credits. It's the Colonel, a.k.a. Eric's father. That's rather unfortunate.

Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Gretchen Rossi is engaged to boyfriend Slade Smiley. Yay. What wonderful news. The pair have been dating for four years, and apparently, it was Gretchen who proposed to Slade. A few days later, he presented her with a 9-carat yellow and white diamond engagement ring and Gretchen gave him a rhodium and black diamond engagement band.
I'm just a little confused. Wasn't this the couple last season who was stressing over medical bills and child support for Slade's son, and who decided they couldn't get married until his finances were in order?
I guess I don't understand how you go from being in debt to buying a 9-carat diamond ring, but frankly, Gretchen and Slade seem so obsessed with appearances that it wouldn't surprise me if they threw his money problems into the wind and got the biggest, brightest ring just to prove that they're something they're not.
Let's be real. I think we can all safely assume that Gretchen Christine Beauté (LOL) isn't swimming in profits (I mean, have you ever seen it anywhere besides on the show?), and Slade's slimy new radio show in which he gossips about Housewives doesn't seem to me like a real bread winner, so I'm just a little curious where this money for the ring came from.
But! Who gives a shit. These two are pretty disgusting, if you ask me, and can spend the money they do or don't have as much or as little as they please.
That said, reality stars and their enormous rings have a rocky relationship. It would seem that the larger the stone, the longer the divorce proceedings. Right, Kim?
Take a look at Gretchen and Slade's new bling: Love it? Hate it?
Wow someone sounds jealous. Who cares where the money came from or whatever. They've survived 4 years together in reality tv, which like never happens. So they're obviously happy and in love, let them be, stop hating on them. You Stir writers are very harsh to people and I find that disgusting, not a couple who's madly in love.
dont care for it looks dirty
Kinda Funny tha it's looks just like Jo's Ring her gave to her for their engagement... and if it's not WHY would he choose the same color for Gretchen that he choose for Jo.... Smily Slade....
My how hateful are you today with Gretchen and Slade.....he is working and she is working, so what's the big dea??? You are quite hateful with the housewives series lately, I don't think I will be reading your column anymore..I will just delete..you seem to me like a very jealous person..too bad, I am happy for anyone that can afford the good things in life and wish them all the best...
I hope it's fake. He needs to be taking care of his sick son

Dr. Sanjay Taparia's Ratings
Reading the reviews- it's as if we seen a totally different dr!! He was very rude and had no bedside manner...My daughter has suffered with severe digestive issues for 2 months and told me he doesn't see why I am concerned...has no idea how I can remember what's going on nightly with her, and the end result to do an elimination diet, is only because I suggested it. I will NOT be going back to this dr, he was rude. I am not a mom who takes their kids to the dr's for everything- so I will not recommend him to anyone!

Great doctor. Very thankful he was workin the night my daughter was born. That is how i was refered to him My daughter was full term but only 4 lbs 15 oz. He is very helpful and was concerned about her weight gain. Followed her closely as she grew. Also was very helpful with her acid reflex issues and choking. Great doctor! Took the time to call off hours to check on her!! That's so awesome

Absolutely great pediatrician. The front staff is also excellent. The only time we've had to wait was because another parent had an emergency and needed to see him right away, so we had to wait 15 minutes. Otherwise, he has always been on time. He always answers all our questions, and helps with all of our concerns. I also like that he isn't quick to grab his prescription pad; he only wants what is best for my son. Absolutely great pediatrician. Would recommend to anyone.

TAC AK2™ Gloves
Overview of the 5.11 Tactical/Ironclad relationship.
By partnering with Ironclad Performance Wear®, 5.11 Tactical® gloves set new standards for dexterity, fit, and durability and provide you with gloves you can depend on. Our commitment to functional innovation and unparalleled quality, combined with Ironclad's dedication to superior fit and tactility, means you can trust our gloves as you navigate through the day's challenges.
Whether you're drawing a sidearm or patting down a perp, 5.11 gloves, Built Tough by Ironclad®, answer the call.
- Kevlar® back panel for flash and slash protection
- Tactical Touch™ precision fit fingertips for maximum dexterity and comfort. (Patent # 7,287,285)
- Durable Goatskin leather palm, finger facings and fourchettes, finger joint and knuckle reinforcements, and wrist closure and pull tabs
- Padded palm and knuckle protection
- Neoprene and Velcro® wrist closure
- Reinforced pull tab
- Lightweight and fast drying
- Care: Hand wash in cool water, line dry, do not use bleach or iron
- Built with American made Kevlar® fabric
When duty calls and flash and slash hazards are unavoidable, our Tac AK2 Gloves stand ready to provide you with performance that common tactical gloves can't match. The knit Kevlar® on the back of the glove provides protection from short duration exposure to flames as well as being cut-resistant. We've re-engineered one of our most popular gloves to improve dexterity, fit, and comfort.
We moved the protective padding from the outside to under the one-piece goatskin palm to give you better touch and eliminate the seams and edges that can hang up on weapons and gear. The stitch pattern on the palm helps the glove flex with your hand instead of bunching up. The fourchettes and padded knuckles and finger protectors are made with goatskin for durability and protection. Our Tac AK2 gloves feature the patented TacticalTouch™ construction system for maximum dexterity and longer service life.
There is no seam at the fingertip to add bulk, wear out, or irritate you. A single piece of leather forms the palm and underside of the fingers, and wraps up and over the fingertips, leaving the pads of your fingers free of seams for maximum dexterity and zero irritation. Tac AK2 gloves feature a neoprene and Velcro® wrist closure with goatskin reinforced pull and closure tabs.

Charles Mingus
"The Jazz Experiments Of Charles Mingus", Recorded 1954
Charles Mingus
Irascible, demanding, bullying, and probably a genius, Charles Mingus cuts himself a uniquely iconoclastic path through jazz in the middle of the 20th century, creating a legacy that became universally lauded only after he was no longer around to bug people. As a bassist, he knew few peers, blessed with a powerful tone and pulsating sense of rhythm, capable of elevating the instrument into the front line of a band. But had he been just a string player, few would know his name today. Rather, he was the greatest bass-playing leader/composer jazz has ever known, one who always kept his ears and fingers on the pulse, spirit, spontaneity, and ferocious expressive power of jazz.
Intensely ambitious yet often earthy in expression, simultaneously radical and deeply traditional, Mingus' music took elements from everything he had experienced. His touchstone was Duke Ellington, but Mingus took the sonic blend and harmonies of Ellingtonia much further, throwing in abrasive dissonances and abrupt changes in meter and tempo, introducing tremendously exhilarating accelerations that generated a momentum of their own. While his early works were written out in a classical fashion, by the mid-50s, he had worked out a new way of getting his unconventional visions across, dictating the parts to his musicians while allowing plenty of room for the players' own musical personalities and ideas. He was also a formidable pianist, fully capable of taking that role in a group.

Have you ever noticed that just before Christmas people seem to do more? At the office, co-workers scramble to finish projects before taking time off of work. Parents are trying to figure out what to do with kids that are out of school. Everyone is making plans to visit family and friends, and it seems like there is no end to all the neighbors and acquaintances dropping off yet another flyer for a Christmas open house.
Meanwhile at your place, you're cooking and decorating and shoveling your driveway all the while thinking, whenever am I going to find the time to do my holiday shopping?
Did the above make you feel exhausted? I feel exhausted just writing about it! Well, fear not! I am about to share with you my dirty little Christmas secret. And no, it does not involve doing naughty things with Santa Claus.
I don't do most of my holiday shopping during the holidays.
"Shut the front door!" you're thinking. "B can't possibly be one of those incredibly anal-retentive people that shop for Christmas during the rest of the year!" But I'm here to tell you that I totally am. And if you didn't figure that out beforehand, well then you don't really know me at all!
Don't get me wrong; I love to shop during the holidays. It's fun checking people off of a list as you scour the mall, latté in hand. The music, the lights, the décor- it makes me feel like I'm part of something special. Sure, it's crowded, but I still can't help but feel people are friendlier during this time of year. How often can you say that?
But in reality, shopping just at Christmas time isn't always feasible. It's hard enough finding the time to go clothes shopping when you have a busy schedule! That busy schedule triples around the holidays and so does the amount of shopping you have to do!
Think about it: you shop for a ton of gifts, you're mailing out cards, you're shelling out extra money for gas to travel and go shopping, you're buying more food for visiting relatives and potluck dinners. By the time January hits, your credit card bill will be enough to give you a coronary.
Shopping for Christmas year-round can make you less rushed and more organized once the holiday season hits. It also gives you a better idea of how much money you're spending. As a freelance writer, you don't always get a steady paycheck, so shopping throughout the year for people means I'm spreading out the money I spend so my bank account doesn't get hit suffer as much come December. Better yet, it allows me to keep track of the all the gifts I'm buying so I can be more careful with my money, which also comes in handy when I get a little too Christmas happy after hitting up the eggnog.
Just because you didn't start your shopping really early like I did doesn't mean you should lose hope! As the holidays approach, there is a way to stay organized when it comes to your Christmas shopping and it involves just one simple thing.
Make a list!
I know it sounds dorky, but hear me out. You don't want to be at the mall, standing at the cash as the cashier tells you your credit card has been declined, just as you realize that you forgot to get Grandma a present.
Planning your shopping trip ahead of time is a lot easier than you might think, and it may spare you the hysterical feeling that sets in when you see how crowded the stores are. Here's how I go about doing it.
Make It Enjoyable.
Sit down and get yourself into a Christmas mood! Pour yourself a glass of wine, put on some carols, or be a giant nerd like me and use red and green pens. Whatever. But you need to set aside approximately half an hour of time and it shouldn't be right before you go out shopping. It also shouldn't be on Christmas Eve.
Channel Your Inner Santa.
Make a list of people to whom you usually give gifts. This should be a no-brainer. Now think of all the people who gave you a gift last year. Was there someone you accidentally left off of your list, or a co-worker who surprised you by leaving a little something on your desk last year? Make a note if you want to include them. Finally, think about all the interactions you've had with friends or family members last year. Have you been hanging out with someone more, or grown closer to that cousin you never used to see? You may want to consider giving them a small token of friendship. Is there anyone in your circle of friends and family that have experience a death in the family, or had a prolonged illness, or another similarly difficult situation this past year? They also might appreciate something close to the holidays.
Don't feel guilty! There is no hard and fast rule for deciding who goes on your list. Maybe you and your bestie have a rule never to buy each other anything, or you're just really sick and tired of buying Great Uncle Sam a necktie every year. Either way, this decision is totally yours and it's up to you to be realistic about how many (or how few) people are on your list.
Check Your Wallet.
Think about the gifts you bought last year. How much did you spend per person? Was it too much? Did you end up feeling stingy? Was there a special circumstance where you missed your mom's birthday and ended up buying her a crystal vase to make it up to her? Jot down a number next to each person's name. Remember, you're not putting a price tag on your friendship with someone- this exercise is more about getting an idea of how much you're going to be spending. I have found doing this step earlier in the year incredibly helpful as it gives me an idea of how much I have to save for Christmas and makes me think about starting to scout for good deals on certain items. Be forgiving- this budget doesn't have to be set in stone. It's just a good idea to be aware of your limits before you go shopping.
Be a Super Sleuth.
Here's where it gets really fun! Go down your list, and start jotting down gift ideas next to each person's name. Maybe your friend has already dropped a hint about Jamie Oliver's new cookbook, or you and your cousin have a standing arrangement to get each other joke gifts. Think about the hobbies, needs, or wants of each of the people you're buying gifts for.
Get creative. Instead of the usual gift card to the bookstore, get your favorite bookworm some hot chocolate mix and a reading shawl so she can curl up with one of her new reads. (Are you reading this, J?) Don't rule out things like gift cards, magazine subscriptions or charitable contributions where appropriate.
It may also be helpful to consider the needs of the person to whom you are giving a gift. If a friend has moved it may be a good idea to ask a few carefully worded questions to find out what they might need for their house. A well-traveled uncle may appreciate a new set of luggage tags, or a new address book complete with up-to-date addresses of family members. Try to remember events throughout the year- like that time when your mother lost her leather-driving gloves, or that movie your brother went to see that he thought was awesome. Search for online stores for people's wishlists, or ask partners or siblings for suggestions. Sometimes when you're particularly clueless, it helps to do a little detective work in order to find a gift that's truly meaningful.
Ready, Set…Shop!
Now you're all set to start your Christmas shopping. Just make sure you tuck your list in your wallet or Filofax when you go, or send it in an email to yourself to keep track of it on your phone. Make notes as you about where you spotted certain items so you comparison shop, or jot down other ideas as you find inspiration in the stores.
And don't worry about getting every item on your list- after all, there's always next year!

Marina at Big Canoe
When I was a kid I adored going fishing with my twin brother and/or my Dad. As an adult, I've rarely made the opportunities to continue that enjoyment. Perhaps because it's spring again, I find my mind wandering to the good times only the brooks in Walpole, New Hampshire, where we caught delicious brook trout. …

Wetterlings: Les Stroud Bushman Axe
Our Price: $149.00
- Qualifies for free shipping.
The Bushman Axe is the result of a collaboration between the Swedish axe company, Wetterlings, and survivorman Les Stroud. Having had many adventures and travels in the wilderness, Stroud jumped at the chance to partner with the legendary, high quality company, designing the Bushman according to his own desires of craftsmanship, aesthetics, and functionality, yielding a beautiful, handmade wooden axe.
A Wetterlings is slowly forged by hand in a hammer forge press. This is a task that demands patience and time and is totally dependent on the skill of the blacksmith. The result is an axe that is both strong and sharp.
Most of the axe handles are turned by Wetterlings using brown heartwood of American hickory. This wood has the impact-resistance and strength expected of an axe handle.
Every detail of a handforged Wetterlings is considered carefully. A Wetterlings is a quality tool that will serve its owner in the best possible way and keep year after year.
- Handmade in Sweden

Lessons I'm Learning from Following a Bunch of Porn Stars on Twitter
1. Porn stars don't care about 140 characters. If they have a message they need to get out they'll use Twitlonger (or a smilar service) or just post it in a string a tweets.
Jesus Christ, I guess if you ever wanted to know what it's like to be extremely attractive and have a song that I listen to a bunch of a times in a row while thinking about crying, well, I guess you could ask Lana Del Rey. She pretty much deserves a life of whatever she wants and if she wants a guy who doesn't play video games, you can do me a solid and pass along my contact info. Originally saw this at Luke's joint, so credit where credit is due, sic transit gloria mundi, etc.

On The Road To Forever
His love endures forever

The cold weather we endured lately rustled up some old memories of Grandma's kitchen and the smells that escaped into the whole house in the early morning hours. It might have been snowy and cold outside, but the oven full of baked goods warmed the kitchen to perfection. I think Grandma must have gotten out of bed about four in the morning most of her life because by seven she had more done than most folks do all day. Cookies on waxed paper would be cooling on the table in the closed-in back porch and a pie or two could be found sitting next to them.
She always baked with others in mind, and after a completed inspection of her finished products, the best were placed into Grandpa's care to be delivered with love to the home of someone else. She always knew of someone in need of a little sympathy that only a fresh apple pie can express. Grandpa's report of how he found things at the delivery point would inspire Grandma to extend her compassion with more baked goodies or a feeling of content that things are better and God will take it from there. Her kindness reached everybody in a quiet, subtle sort of way including the mailman and the trash man. Grandpa loved her dearly.
Six-year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes. He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard, and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor, which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.
Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on the stove, (and he didn't know how the stove worked)! Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas dirty. And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a smacking. But his father just watched him. Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him, and loved him, getting his own pajamas dirty in the process. True love has no boundaries.
[Psalm 107] That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but sometimes it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky, or we insult a friend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour. Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him.
[Ephesians 5:1-2; Galatians 6:1-10] In my memories, I find a great example of Christ-like living in my quiet selfless grandmother. I'll bet she had her personal problems and defeats in life. I'll also bet she looked to God for comfort and compassion. I live in the comfort that God loves me, cares for me, and is willing to forgive me of the selfish deeds in my life all because I try my best to live a Christ-like life. I am also comforted in that Paul, an apostle, even says he continues to "press on" in his pursuit for perfection, relying on God to carry him through (Philippians 3:12-4:1). His love endures forever (Psalm 136).

I'm not going to lie…I was hoping Coach Hewitt would take the St. John's job.
I wasn't hoping he would leave because I dislike him. I think he's a stand up guy and have no ill will for him.
I just think it was the perfect time for both Hewitt and Georgia Tech to part ways with both saving some face and moving forward to new starts.
Financially this would have been the best solution for the Jackets. They would have avoided the big buy out of Hewitt's contract and its likely St. Johns would have stepped up and helped Hewitt pay any money owed the Institute for leaving.
But alas…that didn't happen.
So what is Tech left with?
The status quo…pretty much.
A head coach who is a great guy and who can recruit, but who has shown a consistent habit of underachieving in conference play and against Tech's main rival.
This is sort of like when Jim Donnan was at UGA and Tech fans really, really wanted the Dawgs to keep him around.
Since Coach Hewitt has elected to stay here in Atlanta, let me throw a few things out there…call them Demands from a Tech Alum & Fan…
1. Continued embarrassing graduation rates are unacceptable.
2. Continued losses to inferior UGA teams are unacceptable.
3. Continued losing records in the ACC are unacceptable.
4. Continued struggles in consistent guard play are unacceptable.
5. Continued struggles at the free throw line are unacceptable.
6. Continued struggles with inbounds plays are unacceptable.
7. Continued episodes of inexplicable turnovers are unacceptable.
8. The complete lack of a fast break offense is UNACCEPTABLE!
So how would I suggest Coach Hewitt accomplish this?
1. Make the needed changes in your coaching staff and practice regimen to make sure guards are developed that know how to run the offense and push the ball up the court.
2. Recruit players who are on campus long enough to graduate and develop the team work and competency we saw in that 2004 team.
3. Take ownership of the problems that the Tech program has suffered from the past few years. Learn from them, own up to them, and correct them.
4. No more twits, tweets, or social messaging of excuses and challenges to the fan base. Be a man…put extra effort into coaching and leading rather than excuse making.
Don't coast around on the golden parachute of a contract Dave Braine saddled us with…prove that you can be the leader and coach that everyone expected you to be after the 2004 run.
The Tech fan base can be harsh and critical…but also forgiving, if given reason…
March 25th, 2010
4:16 pm
maybe this will be good for us…perhaps Favors will return considering Hewitt is back? We are the powerhouse team of the ACC in all sports, we should expect much more of Hewitt next year.
March 25th, 2010
5:36 pm
It's good for Tech to keep Hewitt as it's coach. This allows the underperforming team to continue its ways and lose to teams less talented. Recall the UGA game – UGA, a basketball with a new basketball coach and very young, beats a GT team that has 2 NBA-ready players. Here's the score if you tech fans forgot: UGA 73-GT 66.
In addition, this complements the weak football team you have. With that 1980's wish-bone style offense, GT fans have a lot to look forward to. UGA 30 – GT 24.
As always, complain all you want. GT is a pathetic bunch of losers.
March 25th, 2010
5:57 pm
D-RAD: If you fire him, they (fans) will come (back). I'm through with Hewitt. Here are my season tickets; call me when we get a coach.
March 25th, 2010
5:58 pm
We knew it was a long shot, it was at least nice to have a glimmer of hope for a little while. After all, this useless incompetent fraud hasn't done anything good for GT basketball in close to a decade, why on earth would any rational person think he would suddenly start now? Oh I hear you Kool-Aid drinkers, he can recruit … that's nice, pity there's not a single solitary soul on campus that can actually COACH those recruits.
March 25th, 2010
6:01 pm
Good for Tech,
Your a moron as most UGA fans are that think their program is worth a crap. If you want to talk about "underperforming" look in the dictionary and see the picture of Mark Richt and the dog football team. Its a joke how much talent you guys get every year and do nothing with it. Congratulations you beat a 10 thousand student technical school in football, YOU SHOULD. Go out do something in the SEC and Nationally before you run your mouth. By the way UGA's last national championship 1980, GT's last national championship 1992. Has UGA ever been to the final game in the NCAA basketball tourney (NO) GT (YES) this decade. Be a relevant program and then you can run your mouth.
March 25th, 2010
6:03 pm
This will make it easier to finally let him go this time next year.
March 25th, 2010
6:08 pm
WE had hoped you guys would keep Hewitt and Chan Gailey forever. Alas one of two. Hewitt is determined to let UGA catch up with tech. We will really be whipping your bzzzbutts then.
March 25th, 2010
6:08 pm
You UGAY losers, get out of our blog. You have problems with your so called power house football program. I am in no mood to deal with dogs right now.
Blewitt, since you decided to stay, you just have to take it like a man. Quit all your media BIT*HING and get us a real point guard. no more excuses about the ball not bouncing your way, we are young, etc. You think the fans and the media treated you unfairly this year? Just wait till next season when you "coached" our team out of the Big Dance and another losing conference record to a much stronger ACC. You would wish you could get into the HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, and take that job at St Johns.
March 25th, 2010
6:21 pm
"Good for Tech"
Well believe it or not, I do think it's good for Tech that Hewitt stayed. The program can now continue to grow.
March 25th, 2010
6:22 pm
Until the GT alum come up the money he would be crazy to leave.
He has the best college contract in the country. That is why he is staying.

What does the football score have to do with this?
March 25th, 2010

I am glad Coach Hewitt is staying. Even with all the glitter from the Big Apple, he chose to stay down in the sunny southland. When has that ever happened. Thanks Coach . Now, show us all what you and the team can do. If we send anyone to NY, it should be Bradley.
March 25th, 2010
6:41 pm
This is not good for Georgia Tech. I'm preparing for another season under .500 in the acc and another disappointment in the NCAA tournament and losing out of conference games that we should win. I want a coach that coaches better than he recruits. I don't understand how people can give him support. He is just like Chan Gailey but a basketball coach. He doesnt know what he is doing. I've attended lettermen's games since Crimons was there and there were countless of Georgia Tech Alum there. Compare that to last year, hardly any. Be prepared for decreased attendance and ticket sales.
March 25th, 2010
6:43 pm
I met Paul Hewitt this past season and when I tried to start a conversation with him he was too busy talking and texting that he didnt listen to me. His blackberry is more important than his players and the fans and the alum.
March 25th, 2010
7:08 pm
I'm looking forward to hearing the spin that he puts on his talks with St. John's when he meets with the media tonight. I wonder how creative he'll be and who he blames for it.

Its CREMINS, not CRIMONS.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzz, great job of showing your frustration with being a tech fan. I know it hurts you can't ggo back and pledge your allegiance to someone else. Youj can't stand it that we beat your little acc champions in atlanta. Go throw on your tech hat and be proud to be a loser.
March 25th, 2010
7:42 pm
I have not been able to watch this team without getting a headache since 2004, when Jarrett Jack and Will Bynam basically coached the team on the court. I was ready to return as a fan if Hewitt had left and Mark Price (we can dream, right?) had stepped in to restore the program to what it is capable of. Oh, well……
March 25th, 2010
7:46 pm
I still think he's going to leave. Not for St. John's, but somewhere else.
March 25th, 2010
7:48 pm
i'm glad to have coach stay and even though i loved coach cremins but coach hewitt was a great catch and i know the team will be better next year when there will be more veterens on the team.
March 25th, 2010
7:49 pm
Well this will save my wife and I about $800. We will not renew our season tickets. Since Tech was already unable to sell out their games, those like us who are throwing in the towel (and we won't be the only ones) will only make that situation worse. Maybe they can get down to zero ticket holders and then save money by not having to hire police, ticket takers, ushers, etc.
March 25th, 2010

HatsOff – The Knicks can't use a great recruiter (which Hewitt is). Where else would he go?
March 25th, 2010

next year will be better just watch and see and yes i will be there to cheer for the school the team and coach hewitt, but i have to cheer for coach johnson first because football is right around the corner, GO JACKETS!!!!!!!

Why are you blogging when you should be working, the lady in the drive thru lane just pulled off without her fries. I'm sure management has told you that after putting the Big Mac in the bag you have to check to make sure you also included the fries, she ordered the combo you idiot.
If you get fired you know you are going to lose the mobile home and then where will you make your meth, you dumb redneck.

8:16 pm
Here's the deal. My hat is off to Mr. Hewitt for deciding his family matters more than his own desires. That proves that he is a good man; a good husband and a good father. I never thought otherwise. But I am as disappointed as I could possibly be for our basketball program. This good man is not a good head basketball coach. And I am not certain that he ever will be. I am now resigned to the fact that we will be a mediocre team (at best) next year, possibly sneaking into the NIT field. because of pre ACC games. And I cannot accept that. I have responded a number of times on these blogs at my frustration with the offense. I still cannot comprehend the inability to inbound the basketball. But I am now finished. I am tired of it all. I will continue to pull for my beloved Yellow Jackets. But none of my money will go to the basketball program. I will not attend games. I will not donate. And I will no longer respond to the blogs. I will simply wait until it becomes as unbearable for Mr. Radakovich as it has been for me. That's it for me.
March 25th, 2010
9:38 pm
Chris great article … I like you do not beat around the bush like all the other AJC writers
That being said your list on how Blewey can turn the program around is impossible as 3 and 4 are not fathomable for Blewitt … he does not compute, trust] me. And since #3 & 4 must be attainable to even think about #1 and #2 we are destined for the same ole garbage ….. this time with less talent. DRAD I think would have fired him if UNC won in round one and since GT will not come close to matching the record this year next season, all Blewey did today was sealed his fate. I just hope this ruins any future work he might be able to get.
March 25th, 2010
9:53 pm
just like Mark Richt….
This guy is past time to go, he should've manned up and told the wife and kids "listen, if I stay, I'll lose all integrity that I have. I'll be fired next year and, yeah, I'll get a huge buyout so you can buy all your goodies, but then we'll be living in bumblefark Texas because no other Div. 1 program will hire me. And also, kids, get used to all your friends that you claim to want to be around hating you next year because my team is gonna really submarine since we won't have Favors and Lawal around anymore. Hope you guys like being run out of Atlanta on a rail, I'm betting you would have liked NY a lot better than a community college town."

Hewitt should have gone after 73-66 which was more embarrassing quite frankly than 30-24 was in November.
March 26th, 2010
12:53 am
Paul Hewitt – I'm glad you are staying at Georgia Tech. You are a class act as a man and a good coach. I value what you and your team have accomplished this year, rather that what some sportswriter and some frustrated bloggers think you should have accomplished. Good luck to you and your teams in the future.
March 26th, 2010

This reminds me of Bobby Cremins' go/no-go flirtation with South Carolina in 1993. Cremins' career at Tech was never the same after that.
March 26th, 2010
5:26 am
I can see nothing positive for the Tech basketball program going forward. This was, on paper Hewitt's best basketball team at Tech. What did they accomplish tis season? 7-9 record in ACC play, including 2 key ACC losses @ home. A loss to an inferor UGA squad (much better coached). If not for a run in the ACC tourney they would have surely been left out of the big dance. Fundamentally, the worst coached team I watched personally. Their turnovers and free throw shooting are just a few examples of poor coaching. While I commend coach Hewitt for being a considerate husband and father, this does not bode well for Tech fans.
March 26th, 2010
5:54 am
$3.4 million dollars Paul Hewitt would have had to have paid to Georgia tek. This is the only reason why Paul Hewitt is staying, and that is great for UGA that he is staying. Paul Hewitt LOSING RECORD by several games now and counting, only to get worse, to UGA. Paul Hewitt Academic Progress Report APR of 914 currently, lowest of all NCAA teams and has Georgia tek on PROBATION in men's basketball as we speak LIMITED TO ONLY 11 SCHOLARSHIPS.
NCAA Tournament Action :
SEC Men 5-2
ACC Men 5-5
SEC Women 10-2
ACC Women 4-4
ACC has neither a winning record in NCAA Tourney Men
ACC has neither a winning record in NCAA Tourney Women
SEC has winning record in BOTH NCAA Tourney Men & Women.
SEC is kicking the butts of ACC in basketball, again.
Big East had 8 bids to the Men's Tournament. Butler beat # 1 seed Syracuse last night. Big East have 1 left, tomorrow night West Virginia vs. SEC # 1 Kentucky. Big East also does not have a Winning Record in Men's NCAA Tournament, just like the ACC. Neither the Big East nor the ACC are better than The SEC in Basketball. Big East is NOT the best basketball conference and NEITHER obviously is the ACC.
Not many Georgia tek fans around here. Only in the UGA blog.

Well Well Well
buLLDawg or whatever the little homo calls himself today has showed back up.
Got your tickets to Shreveport for this year? How was the NIT? Oh, nevermind, my bad.
Oh and Calipari is a scum bag. How long before Kentucky is on probation with victories forfeited? Not long. He leaves a slime trail like a slug. And nobody cares about womens basketball, good Lord. It's UConn and everybody else in the country. How's your baseball team doing?
I love Georgia fans who have to hang there hat on the conference. Were you at the SEC Championship game waving a SEC flag around for Game Day?
March 26th, 2010
7:56 am
bawahahahahahaha!!!!!! Yech has the two most overrated coaches in their respected sports and I love it!!! CPJ and his gimmicky offense has been exposed. He can't win the big game unless it's against an equally pathetic ACC team and his own recruits sucks since he's forced to hang on to Gailey's. Hewitt is the master of one and doners and he manages to do less with more than even Yech's annually overrated baseball team!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
March 26th, 2010
8:41 am
Come on guys,"We've got a pretty good thing" even though we'll never be UNC or Duke. I'm 177-144 at Tech, including 67-93 in the ACC in 10 seasons, what more do you want from me.
Give me $7.1 million or STFU…I Run This School……LMMFAO…Paul.

Great blog, Chris…your list of unacceptables is right on target although I would add no more lost scholarships because of "poor academic progress'. I, too am sad to see him back and I don't think there will be any improvement as long as he is our coach. He is too arrogant to change. Look for another lousy team and record next season.

I agree with everything but the 1st point. It is totally hypocritical to expect him to graduate these players. Listen guys, these guys are NOT student athletes. Lets not be hypocritical to think that these basketball or football players are here to get an education, yes there are exceptions,but please let's not go there with the academics…… We just want to win… Period!
March 26th, 2010
10:30 am
I am most disappointed in Drad. He had the perfect opportunity to nudge Hewitt out the door without the buyout. Did he get greedy and try and enforce the requirement that Hewitt pay GT for leaving? Did he make Hewitt feel welcome at GT? Who knows? All Drad had to do was tell Hewitt to take the St. Johns job, but he didnt do it. Braine signed the insane contract not knowing Hewitt was an underachiever, Drad kept Hewitt knowing that Hewitt is an underachiever. Who is the bigger fool?
March 26th, 2010
11:20 am
Hewitt staying is not that bad IF:
1) He adheres to your 8 well thought out points above.
2) Gets re-charged for the challenge of battling wits with ACC caliber coaches.
3)Continues his recruiting success and stabilizes the point guard position.
4) Shumpert is a 2 guard, not a point guard.
The two things Hewitt does great is recruit and he gets kids to hustle, hustle , hustle. Watching bad talent or good talent not hustling is worse than watching good talent underachieve. We could have easily hired a worse coach. I will continue to support the team & Coach Hewitt.
BTW – Ugay fans riding the coat tails of KY in BBall and UF/LSU in Football is hilarious. You continue to have no overall team success in Basketball for decades!!! All this talent in Georgia and you have nothing for decades. Ha Ha! Shreveport for football, Not even the NIT in Bball – tough times in the trailer park!
March 26th, 2010
11:51 am
Keep him, fire him, he quits, he wins, he looses, who cares! So long as the bb program makes enough money to support itself and make a little for the Institute who cares! Football, football, football is all that matters! Football is the bread and butter! Football is all that matters! Basketball is just somthing to make the winter go by faster.

@ LOST to UGA 66-73
First, let me start off by saying you're a complete moron. Your logic and conclusions make no sense. The SEC had only two teams make it out of the first round, Tenn and Kentucky. The 5 wins for the SEC are from those two teams alone, Tenn-2, UK-3. The ACC had 4 teams make it out of the first round accounting for their 5 wins. The tournament isn't even over yet and you're trying to make comparisons. Tennessee could lose tonight and UK would be the only SEC team left. If Duke keeps winning, the ACC finishes with a winning record and your entire argument is null and void. Heck, by your logic, the Horizon League at 3-0 is the best conference in the Tournament. The fact that you even brought up the women's tournament destroys pretty much the rest of your credibility. Why don't you bring up women's field hockey?
Next time you wanna try your hand at logic, just grab your crayons and color your coloring book in the corner.
March 26th, 2010
1:03 pm
Tech fans, get over yourselves. Just because you're right about your complaints about Coach Hewitt, doesn't mean you accomplish anything by endlessly repeating them. He's our coach. You're not going to change that (at least not this coming season). So shut up. Get behind your team. The only possible effect of all your whining is to hurt recruiting. If you just have to say something, try making some positive recommendations. Like, please go out and find a quality offensive assistant. As for the UGA fans, I know there are UGA fans with class and intelligence. Go learn from them before trolling. You just bring shame to yourselves and your team.
March 26th, 2010
2:28 pm
Chris, I usually enjoy your blog but I've got to take issue with something you said. To imply that Paul Hewitt is coasting on his "Golden Parachute" and needs to "be a man" is irresponsible at best. As a GT alum and avid basketball fan, I too share your frustrations with the on-court performance we've seen over the last couple of seasons. But to question the work ethic and intergrity of a man that has done nothing but represent Georgia Tech with class is uncalled for. Furthermore, all of his coaches and players have represented the school with tremendous class.
Criticism of Hewitt's performance, record, and his team's style of play is acceptable and is certainly warranted given that the team has underachieved the last few seasons. But please do not question the coach's integrity or manhood. That is wrong.
March 26th, 2010
2:31 pm
One more comment: I may be in the minority here, but I don't consider UGA our top rival in basketball. Certainly, it's a game I would prefer to win but I place far more importance on beating Duke, UNC, & Maryland because those are the top programs in our conference and really in all of college basketball.
March 26th, 2010
2:47 pm
Jon, Umm, back in the Cremins day, we use to own Maryland.
We own no one in Basketball anymore. Hell, Ga. State has almost beat us a few times.
There's our new rival, Ga. State.
Thanks, for being a nice guy Coach Blewitt.

Genelia D'Souza, who was so far tight-lipped about her relationship with Riteish Deshmukh, has finally acknowledged it.
She thanked her friends and family for their best wishes for the wedding early next year, and said they are excited about the new phase.
"Thanks so much for your overwhelming response. It's a (n) exciting new chapter in our lives and all your wishes and blessings make it even more beautiful and special for Riteish and me, " Genelia posted on her Twitter page.
Ever since Riteish admitted in a media report that they will seal their eight-year-old relationship by tying the knot in 2012, good wishes have been pouring in for the two actors who made their Bollywood debut together in 2003 with "Tujhe Meri Kasam".
Actors like Lara Dutta, Siddharth, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao, and filmmaker Karan Johar tweeted their wishes for them.
"Riteish and Genelia a perfect example of a dignified couple. Two of my favourite people who are taking their commitment to the next level, " Dia posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Lara wrote: "So happy to share in the joy of both my onscreen husband Riteish wedding plans!! Love u..!!"
And filmmaker Karan Johar, a close friend of the two, is "thrilled to bits".
"Am thrilled to bits and excited about one of my closest friends upcoming wedding!!! @Riteishd is a truly special guy and he and @geneliad make an absolutely wonderful couple!!! Big love to them!!!!" Johar posted on his Twitter page Friday.
In response to the filmmaker's message, Riteish wrote: "@kjohar25 loveeeeeee youuuuuu."
Riteish, 32, and Genelia's love story began on the sets of their Bollywood debut, "Tujhe Meri Kasam" in 2003.
Neither of them ever publicly acknowledged their relationship, but Riteish, son of politician Vilasrao Deshmukh, finally admitted in a recent media report that they will seal their eight-year-old relationship with a wedding in 2012.
The couple was also seen in "Masti" in 2004, and they have now teamed up for a film "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya".

but now every time cas makes a pop culture reference on the show it's going to be because metatron forced all the information into his head
Yes, that's right. There was an angry/concerned buzz after Season 6. Basically people took to writing letters and sending emails, and generally made their feelings known on the internet. The Save Castiel campaign and Letters to Cas (which ended up in a book given to Misha!) were two notable movements to come out of that during the hiatus.
Many fans reacted negatively to the S6 storyline and the Godstiel/evil!Cas situation we were left with – only natural, seeing that a beloved character had apparently just been destroyed for no reason. But the backlash also related to showrunner shenanigans – SG and co. really did not endear themselves to fandom with the way they handled things.
Misha said this during aecon4
I told production, you know, 'I'm having a baby' —Maison, my daughter— 'I'm having a baby in September, so do me a favour and try to write me light in those episodes, so you can maybe move stuff around.' The episode right before the baby was due, the episode where the baby was due, and the episode right after that, were the heaviest episodes that I've had all season. And then after that, it was like, 'Ah, and then he's off for five or six episodes.' I was like, 'Thanks a lot, guys! Super helpful.'
So, my wife, her water broke, and I called the studio and said, 'Hey guys, the water broke, I'm not coming in today.'
And they were like, 'Oh, God. Well, if the baby comes, maybe you can come in later today?'
And I said, 'Okay, but I think I'm probably gonna try to take the whole day off.'
And they said, 'Well, we'll check in with you around lunchtime.'
So they called like, 'Hey, how's it going?' It was really funny, because the producer kept calling, and trying to be like, 'Ahh, how's it going? How's the baby?' But he didn't give a shit. He was just like, are you gonna come in later today or not?
So the end of the day came, and the baby hadn't come, and we called the midwife. And production called and said 'What's going on?'
And I said, 'Well, the baby still hasn't come.'
And they said, 'You're gonna be in tomorrow, right?'
And I said, 'I… I mean, I think so? I'm gonna call the midwife.'
I called the midwife and said, 'The water broke, is this, you know, is this normal?'
The midwife said, 'Definitely. The baby will definitely be born by tomorrow.'
So I called them back and said 'Guys, don't worry. I should be in tomorrow. Baby's gonna be born tonight.'
Overnight… baby wasn't born. Next morning, production calls, 'Hey, how's it going?'
'Uh, well, it's going good; it's not going great, I mean, the baby's not born yet. So I'm not coming in.'
And they said, 'Well, maybe you could come in, and then if the baby starts to come, go home.'
And I said, '…no. Not coming in.'
And they said, 'Okay. But it's gonna be definitely born today, right?'
And I called the midwife and said, 'Is it definitely gonna be born today? 'Cause everybody's getting kinda nervous.'
And the midwife said, 'Absolutely.'
I called back, I said 'The baby is definitely, definitely— the baby promises it's gonna be born. Because apparently, in 99.9% of cases, with women who have already had a baby, once the water breaks, it's born within 24 hours. So we're safe.'
Apparently, we're the .1% that that doesn't happen to, because the next day, the baby still wasn't born. And they were freaking out. And I was freaking out, 'cause I mean, it's one thing, on a production, to miss one day. To miss two days is not cool. To miss three days, they start calling the insurance company, because they literally have to stop production and it's a big deal for them. You know, it costs them maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars a day.
And so they say, 'Well, can they… could they surgically remove the baby?'
And I'm like, 'No, we're not gonna surgically remove the baby! Just, just be patient.'
They're not patient. So, finally the baby was born, but I missed three days. And then as soon as the baby was born, they were like, 'Great! Can you come in now?' And I did. That was good. That was fun. Although other than the studio breathing down our necks the whole time, it went very smoothly. But the studio was very stressful to deal with."
#lmao they had nine monhs to prepare and work out the schedule properly#but nah man let's treat misha like trash#wank for ts#they treated him and vicki horrible when west was born too#telling him his character was dead so they moved out of their condo and shipped everything back to LA#only to be told to come back a few months later#(also that producer he mentions is robert singer just fyi)
also in the beginning of season 5, when Cas went through some changes and was slowly getting more human, Misha went to Singer who was directing the episode and asked him about character motivation and such, and Singer answered him with "Oh no, you're not going to be one of those actors, are you?"
When crap like this comes around, we deal with it… Like we always have. What we don't do is we don't go out and make another deal with the Devil!
#Dean Winchester #is the biggest hypocrite #and the worst part of it is #the narrative always makes him right #what Castiel and Crowley were doing #huge disaster #when Dean trusts Crowley? #it all goes well of course! #Dean can do no wrong #seriously show stop it (via fatalchild)
#remember when Dean got to fix the mistake of making an angel possess Sam without informed consent #by making Crowley possess Sam without consent? #and it worked? #and it was the right thing to do? #ha ha ha #what a joke #idk what exactly happened last year but i reached the point of no return when it comes to tolerating this shit #the writers' blatant stanning for Dean makes him far less likeable than he could be #(wait no i think know what happened #the show decided Cas should've trusted Dean with the angel tablet #despite Dean's open hatred of angels #they decided Dean should get to yell at Cas and contemplate killing him #while Cas should act like a guilty puppy and try to win Dean's forgiveness #so i guess Dean is entitled to Cas' trust but Cas isn't entitled to not being under threat of death whenever he 'messes up' #where by 'messing up' i mean miraculously surviving a simultanuous attack of the rulers of both Heaven and Hell lol) #i hate everything (via schroedingerscas)

The VFFT200 is a Frequency Translator that accepts a predetermined input frequency from 8KHz to 200MHz and provides an output frequency from 50MHz to 200MHz. In the event the input frequency is lost, the VFFT200 will automatically switch into hold-over mode and maintain the output within 10ppm of the nominal frequency. Once the input is recovered, the device automatically switches out of hold-over back to the reference input.

How Do We Know What They Know?
- Thursday, October 23, 2008
Instead of undergoing testing, students can display their growing knowledge and understanding through a variety of excellent natural methods. For example:
• Discussion
• Creative writing
• Art
• Personal essays
• Speeches
• Drama productions
• Academic contests
• Debate (formal/informal)
• Science experiments
• Hands-on projects/exhibits
These are just some of the ways homeschooled students can demonstrate their progress. While you might agree that these types of evaluative tools are great for the elementary level, you also might wonder whether such "subjective" methods can be enough for high school students. Yet teens not only continue to learn apart from the rigors of periodic testing, they actually flourish. Without the restrictive parameters of constant testing, our teens can answer the call to dig deeper than the surface, to question the status quo, to develop ideas and dreams of their own.
We must remember that much of the grading done in traditional schools is itself quite subjective. "Subjective" does not equal "inferior" in any way. Most school teachers will admit that subjective grading is usually much more accurate in its estimate of a student's true understanding of the material studied than any given test score. Consider which of the following assignments would more clearly reveal a student's knowledge and insight into the various causes of the War Between the States: a 50-question fill-in-the-blank test or a creative writing project (a play, a short story, or a series of journal entries) in which the student must show both sides of the war sympathetically and realistically?
Obviously, the latter choice would provoke deeper research and analysis than merely studying for a test. Imagine also the sense of real accomplishment the students would feel after completing such a challenging project. It is often this kind of in-depth study that leads young people to self-analysis as well, forcing them to investigate their own worldviews, motives, priorities, and goals in life. Such subjective, long-term projects are more conducive to the serious study of most subjects, including literature, history, and even science. Why then do public high schools not adopt these methods rather than cling to their weekly quizzes and their end-of-chapter tests? One simple but very big reason: They do not have the necessary time.
Homeschooling families, however, do not have that problem. In fact, time is one of the three top advantages of homeschooling. The other two invaluable perks are flexibility and freedom. As parents of homeschooled high school students, we can provide our teens with the space they crave to delve deeply into their subject matter. We can allow them the blocks of concentrated focus required for such comprehensive studies. We can give them the time they need to immerse themselves fully in their work. Finally, we can step back, smile, and relax as our homeschool graduates dazzle us with all they have learned along the way.
