Georgia Carnival: Edition 43
Welcome to the Georgia Blog Carnival!
Please excuse the abruptness and general nature of this carnival. I have been in the hospital since last Friday due to emergency abdominal surgery. Today is the first day I have been mentally clear enough to even post anything, however mistake may abound.
Because of my situation I have simply posted the link information the Blog Carnival site has provided. Hopefully I will be up to speed by the next carnival posting date.
The next carnival will be hosted here at Georgia on My Mind on Friday, September 12h . Submissions will be due Thursday, September 11th.
If you maintain a Georgia blog and would like to host the carnival at your site e-mail me to set up a date. It’s a great way to put your own personal spin on the carnival.
The last edition of the Georgia carnival can be found here, and the carnival archives are found here.
Now… on to the highlights of Georgia blogging during the past two weeks.
With the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver, it has been the SuperBowl for politics. What do we really know about Barack Obama? What about his faith.

Georgia Carnival: Edition 42
Welcome to the Georgia Blog Carnival!
The next carnival will be hosted here at Georgia on My Mind on Friday, August 29th. Submissions will be due Thursday, August 28th.
If you maintain a Georgia blog and would like to host the carnival at your site e-mail me to set up a date. It’s a great way to put your own personal spin on the carnival.

Now… on to the highlights of Georgia blogging during the past two weeks.
Have you ever been smoked like a cheap cigar? Splitcat Chintzibobs has. Go visit him over at The Ohoopee Letter News for his post Monday Miscellany: Like a Cheap Cigar which discusses how each generation is destined to rise up, challenge, and ultimately prevail over the generation that gave it life, nurtured it, and offered it the world as its inheritance.
O happy day! Angela M. Otwell from amo shares with us prints and notecards from many of her paintings are now available for purchase. Check out her post Prints Now Available! for the link.
Disturbed is a post of mine from my Bible blog, “Got Bible?” where I post a prayer attributed by Sir Francis Drake and explore Drake’s life a bit. The whole thing left me a bit disturbed.
Over at Ashes and Glass, Salmongirl tells of her latest trip over to Lakewood Ampitheater with her post Rockin Like Dokken... with a little Poison too. Her experience reminds me that even though we try we just can’t relive those teen years exactly as they were….they were too perfect or imperfect as the case may be. They cannot be relived in exact form.
Want to see an interesting and refreshing take on a candidate’s run for office? Check out John Heneghan’s Dunwoody North Civic Association site where John advises he has decided to run for office without accepting any political contributions. He further states that his thanks goes out to all of those who have not put signs in their yard and are therefore supporting him. Read all about his run in his post titled John Heneghan announces candidacy for Dunwoody City Council, District 3 at large.
Shell, over at Shell's Stuff, is getting her family ready for a Disney cruise. The crafts she posts at her site usually involve paper, but the title of this post shows she’s venturing out into other mediums.
Here are some more great images from Felicia Haywood over at Fluffy Flowers……a trip to Red Top Mountain where The spirit of YoungDeer (actually more than one) was encountered, Red Top Mountain revisited, and some blooming mushroom flowers.
Over at Paw Paw Bill, William Cotter writes about the John Edwards' confession in his post, If You Drink, Don't Drive.
….and what about the Booth Museum of Western Art in Cartersville? In his post Cowbows and Artists Paw Paw Bill relates the museum will be celebrating its fifth birthday on Saturday, August 23rd.
Single Moms Rock!, a blog that will be added to the blogroll here at Georgia on My Mind in the next batch of additions, shares Back to School is Exhausting, Part 1. Rockin’ Single Mom Sam shares, “This post is the first of a three part series of my exhausting experience with back-to-school activities in Georgia.”
Over at Sew Blessed Donna advises, “The party is over. No more lazing around in their underwear or PJs all day long. No more veggin’ out in front of the TV, Computer, Gameboy and/or Playstation all day…or at least while Mama is at work.” Head on over and check out the lovely faces of her boys….they seem to have the back to school blues.
Of course since it is that time of year when my own thoughts return to the business of school I’m focused on reforming education over at History Is Elementary. The video included in the post is from a BBC television show, but I swear I’ve heard some of the same conversations around the education table. It's amazing what educrats think parents can and can't do. I may just be a teacher, but I have faith in parents nine times out of ten.
The latest edition of of the Georgia Art Exchange Bulletin is available here. The Georgia Art Exchange consists of a group of real estate professionals supporting Georgia arts and culture. Check it out for gallery and class information as well as calls for submissions and much, much more.
Earlier this week I was contacted by Georgia Tech. Seems they are going to have a series of four environmentally/sustainability events this fall sponsored by the Innovations in Economic Development Forum which brings together researchers, students, economic developers and policy-makers to discuss leading-edge ideas and practices in economic development and innovation policy. The first event, Shrinking the Carbon Footprint in Metropolitan Areas will be September 3, 2008 and is free and open to the public. The program will begin at 12:30 and last until 2:00 p.m. You can arrive early to meet the speaker, Marilyn Brown, Professor of Energy Policy, Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, at noon for a brown bag lunch. The event location is Centergy Building @ Technology Square, 75 5th Street, NW, Atlanta in the Hodges Conference Room, third floor. Event planners can be reached by email at cprsevents@innovate.gatech.edu . Look for my post later this week where I’ll relate more details about the other events this series.
Moonshine, a magazine of the southern arts is available online and free here. This month’s edition includes original writings, essays from the studio, writings on creativity and the culture of art, art and technology, and of course various reviews.

Wordless: Etowah Mounds
This is an image of the Etowah Mounds located near Cartersville, Georgia. The natives known as the Moundbuilders first arrived in the area around 950 A.D. One of it’s last great cities was located between the Etowah River and Pumpkinvine Creek. The Etowah Mounds State Park consists of 54-acres and includes 7 mounds, pits, plaza, portions of the original village and a museum.The Moundbuilders were part of the Mississippian culture which featured advanced agricultual techniques, a form of government that was passed down from family member to family member (much like a monarchy), religion, and trade.
Archeologists and historians have proof that the natives who lived at this spot had direct relations with nearby Woodland Indians as well as Mound Builders from Ocmulgee near Macon, Georgia.
I wrote about Georgia’s mound builders a few months ago here.
This is my first Wordless Wednesday foray here at Georgia on My Mind in a long, long time. What better way to share images of my state with people from across the web! You can visit with other Wordless participants here.

Here's a Few for You...
If you are a Georgia blogger and would like for me to link to you please drop me an email at gamind@mail.com .
Here are this week’s new additions, and don’t forget to send in your submission to the next Georgia Carnival that will post here on August 15th. You can enjoy the last Georgia Carnival here.
Cathy's Grace Notes – Cathy wrote me and asked, “Could I be the southern most Georgia blogger!???” Well, the weather map at her spot indicates she’s in Bainbridge or close to it. I’d say that is pretty dead-up in the southern part of the state. Unfortunately, I don’t have the information I need about everyone on the blogroll, so I can’t say if Cathy’s site is the southern most blog on the list, but for now….we’ll give her the title. Cathy seems to have been blogging for about as long as I have…..she writes about all things Southern including religion. Recently she wrote about the five God days of summer.
Georgia Back Roads – Bill Mauldin is a candidate running for State House District 126, and he’s got a blog! Check out Bill’s brand new site where he’s already addressing education funding and Georgia's budget blues.
The Georgia Personal Injury Report – is a site that relates information regarding issues effecting personal injury victims in the Atlanta area. A recent article advised Georgia is ranked the fifth worst state for knowledgeable drivers. I believe it!
Stumptown, Ga. – Not sure where this is? I know. I grew near there in South Fulton. Stumptown is Forest Park, Georgia and the name stems from the fact that so many trees were cleared for the supply station along the railroad line (the same railroad that ran in front of my house in Red Oak) that the workers called the location “Stump Town”. Hannah, the blog author states, “I started this blog as a place to stash my observations when I moved back to Atlanta after spending a few years away in college and Brooklyn." I’m just glad to see some images of places I recognize like the old East Point swimming pool.

More Georgia Blogs!
If you are a Georgia blogger and would like for me to link to you please drop me an email at gamind@mail.com .Here are this week’s new additions and don’t forget to enjoy the latest Georgia Carnival that posted Friday. You can reach it here.
LegalEagle Judgments – from the site……”Over the past four years, "Legaleagle" has contributed to more than 100 topics in "SavannahNow," Atlanta Journal & Constitution, New York Times, etc. More often than not, these opinions are read and approved by hundreds, based upon their emails, posts and comments. I strive to be accurate. I take sides after I have obtained knowledge of facts, details and accounts. Please do me the great honor of reading and responding; together we can make the United States of America a better place!” A recent post included We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For….a bit of a background regarding Obama’s speech containing the words “We are the ones…”
Foodshed Plant – the tagline states nurturing sustainability, close to home and around the world (And other food for thought). Recently Patti observed, “The light is changing yet again and the sun streams in just so right after dinner, a little differently than even just a week ago. And like the swallows return to Capistrano, I have returned once again to soap-making, so in love am I with standing there at the stove in that fading, golden light, and stirring mindlessly, a book cracked open in my other hand, as the distant sound of children's laughter punctuates the air” in her post How Time Passes How Light Changes
Sustainable Dunwoody – This blog, also by Patti, is all about building a more beautiful city. In one post she advises Dunwoody Greenspace is one-third of what it should be.
Bombchell - In Atlanta – Bombchell lives in Atlanta. She’s a college grad and is currently spending her time not working, partying, watching movies and hanging out. Oh, to be in my 20s again…..She just got back from Dallas, Texas
Trailer Witch – Constance Cooper focuses on exploring rural Southern issues from a rural Southern perspective. Her site is dedicated to the “Trailer Witch”….strange little girls who grew up far from an interstate and, for reasons no one understands entirely, saw their bright little lives stagnate. A post that caught my eye included a video regarding an interview with a member of the DeWolfe family from Rhode Island. The interview revolves around a documentary concerning the family and their responsibility in bringing over 10,000 West Africans to the United States and Cuba in chains. Constance has an interesting take on the documentary.
Journey of Words – Eric writes about education and education technology. Hs post Fifth Grade State Standards Wordle Cloud appeared in the most recent edition of the Georgia Carnival.
Real Estate Investment Business Blog – Shane Wilson writes about investing in real estate and he also had a post featured in the last edition of the Georgia Carnival….Beginning Investors Guide To Making Money in 2008
.
Exurban Adventures – is a blog covering sports, music, concerts, events, and the Arts in Gwinnett County, Georgia brought to us by Buzz Brockway. Buzz’s post regarding Dave Ramsey was featured in the Georgia Carnival 41.
Lori Thornton’s blogs Mississippi History and Genealogy Notes and Smokey Mountain Family Historian have also been added to the “State and Place” blogroll.
