Georgia Tech Vs Georgia - An Old Fashioned Rivalry
Separated by 70 miles of interstate between Atlanta and Athens Georgia, and founded 100 years apart, The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the University of Georgia (UGA) have been rivals since 1893 in more than just football. Competing for everything in the state of Georgia, from potential students and fans to government grants and academic recognition (Georgia Tech is an engineering research university while UGA is a liberal arts research university). However, it is on the gridiron that this rivalry excels.
The dislike that these two schools have for each other probably started right after the Civil War when it was decided that a new technological school should be founded. Then UGA president Patrick Mell attempted to convince legislators that the new school should be located by Georgia's main campus in Athens. despite his efforts, The Georgia Institute of Technology was established near the city limits of Atlanta in 1885.
It didn't take long for the first hostilities to begin only a few years later in 1891 over, of all things, the school colors. UGA's school magazine declared the school colors to be gold, black and crimson. Georgia's football coach felt that gold was too close to yellow, which he felt symboled cowardice. That same year however, the Tech student body voted white and gold as the official school colors. In their first ever football game against Auburn, Tech would use gold on their football uniforms, some felt as a slap in the face of Georgia. Two years later, after Tech defeated Georgia in their first football game, gold was forever removed from Georgia's school colors.
That first fateful game took place in Athens on November 4, 1893 with Georgia Tech, then known as the Blacksmiths, won by a score of 28 - 6. But it was who scored those 4 touchdowns that sparked the rivalry. Leonard Wood was a 33 year old US Army Physician who was officially registered as a Georgia Tech student a only a few days before the game. However, being a full time student, he was eligible to play. This fact upset Georgia fans since during and after the game they hurled rocks a debris at all the Tech players. The next day an article in the Atlanta Journal, by an Athens sports writer, mocked that Tech's football team was nothing more than a collection of Atlanta residents with a few students thrown in.
A rivalry was born.
For the next several years, Georgia Tech's football program would perform very poorly. As a result, they decided to hire a new coach from another rival school, Clemson. In 1904, John Heisman was paid $2,250 and 30% of attendance fees to be Georgia Tech's football and baseball coach. (NOTE: after retiring from coaching football in 1927, he became of the Downtown Athletic Club in Manhattan in 1935. After his death in 1936, the club's trophy for the best collegiate football player was renamed the Heisman Trophy). Heisman immediately turned Tech's football program around going 8-1-1 in his first year. By 1908, Georgia alumni were having Tech's recruiting tactics investigated, by the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association). The accusations were unproven and the SIAA later ruled in favor of Tech. In his 16 seasons at Georgia Tech, Heisman led the Golden Tornado (as Tech was known) to three undefeated seasons, including a 32 game winning streak and an all important 23 - 6 victory over Georgia. Heisman also led Tech to the highest scoring football game ever played with a 222 - 0 win over a totally outmanned Cumberland State in 1916 (too bad it wasn't Georgia!).
By 1917, with the onset of WWI, UGA disbanded its football program since many of its able bodies students were recruited for the war. Since Atlanta was a military training ground at the time, Tech retained its male students and continued its football program throughout the war. When UGA revived its football program in 1919, they proudly proclaimed "UGA in Argonne" and "TECH in Atlanta" on parade floats. As a result, Tech severed all athletic ties with UGA, including cancelling several Georgia home games at Atlanta's Grant Field (UGA commonly used Grant Field as their home field). It would not be until 1925, by mutual agreement, that regular season competition would resume.
In 1932, Georgia and Georgia Tech would become 2 of the original 13 members of the SEC, of which UGA is still a member. Tech however, would leave the SEC in 1964 after coach Bobby Dodd began a feud with Alabama's Bear Bryant (the result of a cheap shot by an Alabama player that ended the career of a Tech player, and Bryant's refusal to discipline the athlete). There were also concerns of scholarship allocations, questionable recruiting tactics and student athlete treatment that led to Tech's departure from the SEC. However, Dodd understood the importance of a rivalry and would lead the Yellow Jackets to 8 consecutive victories (1946 - 1954) and outscore Georgia 176 - 39 in those games. This remains the longest streak of either team in the rivalry.
Several years later, Tech would attempt to re-enter the SEC but their application was denied, in large part due to the opposition of Georgia. With no league to compete in, Tech would found the Metro Conference, for all its intercollegiate sports except football. Similar to Notre Dame, Tech would compete as an independent for the next 15 years, until eventually joining the ACC in 1979, the conference in which it still completes today.
Not satisfied with simply disliking each other on the football field, both institutions have also tailored their fight songs to the rivalry. Tech's Ramblin Wreck song contains the line "To Hell with Georgia", and "Up With the White and Gold" is immediately followed by the lyrics "Down with the Red and Black" and later on "Drop the Battle Axe on Georgia's Head". The Georgia fight song, "Glory Glory", which has technically remained unchanged since first being published in 1909, officially ends with G-E-O-R-G-I-A. The student body however, has modified the closing lyrics to "and to Hell with Georgia Tech!"
If your a college football fan and love the intensity of interstate rivalries, show your support with your favorite college team apparel [http://collegeteamapparel.net/]. Whether its football or basketball, baseball or hockey, your school colors reign supreme, regardless of the final score, so wear your college sports apparel proudly.
For me, my two favorite teams are Georgia Tech and whoever is playing against Georgia!

What Makes a Good Sound Tech?
A sound tech's primary duty is to assist the sound engineer and he has only one major responsibility, which is to be attentive. Load in and load out are second only to that primary responsibility.
Be Attentive
There are many facets to being attentive. First and foremost a good sound tech will attend to the needs of the engineer. Being attentive means paying attention. The engineer should have no difficulty at all communicating with his tech. Some of the common means of communication that are used during shows are:
There are many facets to being attentive. First and foremost a good sound tech will attend to the needs of the engineer. Being attentive means paying attention. The engineer should have no difficulty at all communicating with his tech. Some of the common means of communication that are used during shows are:
- Two-way radios or closed circuit comm. systems
- Cell phones
- Text messages
- Hand signals
- A nod of the head
A tech must follow his engineer's lead and must constantly glance at the engineer to see if he needs something. The engineer of any show has a lot on his mind. There is a lot he has to be responsible for to achieve truly professional results. The engineer must focus on several things at once: the artists, the sound, and the audience. One thing he should not have to focus on is getting his tech's attention. Anytime the engineer has difficulty communicating with his tech, the tech is failing to do his job. It is the responsibility of the tech to be attentive. The engineer should never have to leave his seat after the artists arrive. The sound tech must be attentive to the needs of the artists too. When the artists are setting up, it is the sound tech's responsibility to provide the following:
- Hand each artist his or her cable and tell them, "This is for you," or "You plug in here" for example.
- We are not to touch the artists' equipment and they are not to touch ours (within reason of course.) We have to touch the drums to mic them, but we politely ask if that is okay and we make sure to ask if any of our mics are in the way of the drummer. Singers, obviously, will find it necessary to touch our microphones and that is okay too. But, it is the sound tech's job to make all necessary adjustments to microphone stands to obtain the optimum placement for every artist. No artist should ever have to adjust a mic stand. Whenever that happens the sound tech is not doing his job. The artist should only have to focus on his instrument and his performance. Playing music is an emotional experience and if an artist becomes perturbed because he has to adjust his mic stand it will affect his emotions negatively and that will degrade his performance.
- The sound tech must adjust the monitors to suit the artists' preferences. Sometimes they want them closer, or farther away, or turned this way or that. It is critical to keep the monitors out of the feedback zone, i.e. not pointing at microphones that might induce feedback.
Whenever the engineer leaves his seat to attend to those duties, the sound tech is failing to do his job. The engineer cannot focus on setting up the board, and the monitor mix, and the artists, and the audience if he has to do the tech's job too. The most important job of the sound tech is to be attentive. Being attentive means more than attending to the needs of the engineer and the artists. Being attentive means attending the show and paying attention at all times. Listen for problems that may arise and alert the engineer of any concerns.
Look at the system. If there is a speaker that is off axis, the sound tech should notice something like that right away and correct it without hesitation. If an artist is trying to communicate something, the sound tech should be paying attention to that too. It is the engineer's responsibility to understand those communications that come from the artists during a show, but, more importantly, it is the sound tech's job to be attentive to the needs of the engineer and the artist. That might mean helping the engineer figure out what the artist is trying to communicate. Furthermore, if a microphone stand slips, or gets moved out of position or knocked over, the sound tech must correct that at once.
Sound techs always wear black. This is partly because they sometimes have to slip out on stage during a performance. Their black clothing reflects less light than any other color and therefore draws less attention to them than if they were dressed in fluorescent yellow for example. But it also tells the audience that he is not a member of the band. He is a sound tech and he is just doing what sound techs do. He is being attentive to the needs of the artist or the engineer, and he is doing it well.
Bottom line: if you don't learn anything else from this article, then at least learn this one thing. A sound tech's primary duty is to be attentive by paying attention at all times and attending to the needs of others for the sole objective of a flawless show.

How To Ask For Tech Support The Right Way
We all have had to face a tech problem in the past that required us to seek tech support. The problem can range all over the place, it could be a problem with your printer, computer or who knows maybe even your cell phone. When it's time to try and find tech support, in order to get the support you want, here are a few tips on things to do when submitting requests for tech support, or even just doing a quick web search for it.
Be More Specific
This is the main one. If someone came to me and said "my computer isn't working, how do I fix it?" I could not help them. This request is too generic. It has no detail what so ever. I can already start asking questions like, what is it showing you? When did this happen? What were you doing at the time? These are just a couple things I might ask the person asking for my tech support. You got to actually tell me what's not working. After I get the answers to these questions I would still have to ask more such as, what OS does it run? How long have you had it? What OEM made the computer? Of course, if you are using something else than a computer trying to get tech support adjust the questions you will need to answer in your request to suit that piece of technology. Another good thing to include here would be the specs. of the computer. Tech support will want to know things like what the CPU of the computer is and how much RAM you have. These are all important in case maybe someone else has had the same issue with that same RAM company or something like that. If someone had the same issue, it will be much quicker for tech support to troubleshoot it.
Include Model Numbers In Your Tech Support Request
This can help tech support a lot if they can get the model number of the computer, printer, etc. you are trying to get tech support for. In fact, if you include this they may not even need to ask for the specifications of the computer. They will be able to research your model number and find all that and more about the computer. This is also something super useful to use when searching Google or other search engines for tech support. You can get help or advice from people who know your technology exactly and maybe have encountered this issue in the past and learned how to troubleshoot it.
Don't Be Afraid to Write a Little
If you are posting your request on a Q&A site or support forum for example don't be afraid to write a good paragraph or two on what exactly is up with this certain piece of technology you need support for. If the site has some good people they will read it and will be able to provide much better support to you because they actually know at least what is happening.
Include Screenshots or Video
If it is possible, try including screenshots or pictures with your requests. If the error has a sequence, maybe even try getting a video up on YouTube so people can see what is happening. A visual can always help people know so they don't have to make their own visual in their head. If you have to, don't be afraid to use a camera and just take a picture of the screen if you can't get a screenshot. The quality obviously won't be as good if you go down this path, but at least you have a visual for those trying to aid you with tech support.
Overall the main idea here is detail, detail and you guessed it, more detail! If you can get this idea down you will be on your way to submitting better tech support requests that will get you the answers you need faster. After all, everyone wants the problem fixed, now! I truly believe that following these tips can get you closer to that. Though, one more thing, if you can get on phone support, do it! That is a very good thing! Phone support allows you to explain, using the power of your voice, in real-time. So, if that is an option, use it! Do you have some tips? Leave them as a comment!

Low Tech in a High Tech World
It seems that the more gadgets we have that were all touted as being able to de-stress us by keeping us up to date, the more stressed out we have become. People walk out of their houses on their phones, they drive while checking their emails, and walk down the street while texting someone.
You know, there is something to be said for not knowing everything right now. Wouldn't it be nice to walk down the street to your local store and actually watch where you're going? Take time to see the trees, the insects, and the birds as you go by? Being able to drive in your car and enjoy the view, what a simple pleasure we take for granted. Sometimes we're trying to talk to one person while texting someone else. Gone are the times when you had someone's undivided attention, and enter the times when our lives have become one multitasking session after another.
Being detached from the grid from time to time can be very de-stressing, unless you start stressing about not knowing. There are two things we need to do in order to live low tech in this high tech world.
1. Don't get caught up in the hype. You don't need to upgrade every time. Believe it or not, the tech we have can last years and years, and most of the time, our needs don't change that drastically to warrant getting the latest tech anyway.
2. Understand that there is, and will always be, something better than what you have, so just be satisfied with what you do have, and don't focus on what you don't have.
We get up in the morning and check our smart phones and or tablets before we talk to our significant other. We can send a quick email, check the weather and the news all before we say "hey" to our partners. There used to be time for talk before we leave the house, but now the only talk we hear is "I'm late, gotta go."
This high tech driven society definitely has it's advantages, and there are some technologies that really make life a joy to live, however, all this tech has come at a price. Instead of connecting one on one, we end up connecting one on three, or one on five, as we try to connect to everything and everyone at once.
We cannot escape this high tech society in which we live, and neither should we try to, but what we should try to do is know which tech we need and which we don't. Lets stay connected with our family and friends, but lets not loose the joy of enjoying life. Let's control our tech, instead of our tech controlling us. Let's enjoy the sun, the rain, the breeze, as we also enjoy our loved ones, and the gadgets that keep us connected. Lets try to understand which tech gadgets will give us the balance that will truly allow us to be low tech in a high tech world.
