Cotton Milling in Georgia | Socyberty

Atlanta, Georgia was the site of the International Cotton Exposition in 1881, all due to a Boston textile executive. It featured the latest technology and machinery of the cotton industry. People from Georgia and all over the south came to see the ginning, spinning, weaving, dying and printing of cloth plus the latest farm machinery and methods of farming. Sponsors were bankers, textile companies and farming equipment companies. As a result of the exposition business owners and merchants realized that every town in Georgia should have it’s own cotton mill.

Quilts to Treasure | Quazen

Our mothers and grandmothers in North Georgia made quilts to keep the family warm and comfortable through cold winter nights. In spite of these utilitarian acts and without their knowledge, they were making art. Museums look for these old quilts made during the depression and earlier, but most families will not part with them. They are too precious with memories of loved ones who made them and passed on. These are just a few of those old quilts.

A Sustainable Food Chain and Citizen Responsibility | Quazen

We use half our grain to feed cattle when millions in the world are going hungry. Cattle returns only half the food value and are a major contributor to global warming. A few monopolizing cooperation’s are racking in the money at the expense of the environment and the citizenry. We as citizens can learn to discard
"rules" we have learned through tradition and strive to make a difference.

What are Your Allergy Triggers | Healthmad

Allergies are everywhere and we see more every day. Most of us know our allergy triggers and avoid them at all costs but sometimes it just isn’t possible. Over the counter medications work very well but if you have high blood pressure or any other serious health condition, you should see your doctor for advise and a written prescription. Some allergic reactions can be very dangerous. If you fear you or anyone in your family is experiencing one, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

We have lots of snakes in the humid climate of Georgia, but most of them are harmless and work for the good of the environment.

The Media Circus of The Casey Anthony Trial | Socyberty

We certainly did have a media circus with the Casey Anthony trial. Especially on CNN News with Nancy Grace. She was on the air day and night, enraging the public even more than the goings on in the courtroom. She was a little extreme even for Nancy Grace. "tot mom" as she called Casey Anthony will be released from jail on the 17th free with time served for lying to the police. The jury did what they thought best although other accused have been sentenced to life in prison or the electric chair with not as much evidence against them as Casey Anthony.
