When you mention Mardi Gras in St. Louis, most of us think of Soulard, home to one of the largest Mardi Gras celebrations outside of New Orleans. The Soulard festivities last for weeks, beginning with Twelfth Night in January and ending with Fat Tuesday on March 4. Here are the top events and activities during the 2014 Soulard Mardi Gras.
Soulard's celebration may be the biggest, but it isn't the only party in town. Here's information on other Mardi Gras celebrations in the St. Louis area and where to get Mardi Gras supplies for your own party.
1. Snowman Softball Tournament
The cold weather won't stop the players at the Snowman Softball Tournament in Forest Park. The tournament has both men's and co-ed divisions. The entry fee is $150 with money going to the Police Athletic League. For more information call (314) 771-5110.
February 8 & 9, 2014
7:30 a.m. - Dusk
2. Wine, Beer & Whiskey Taste
Hurricanes may be the drink of choice during many Mardi Gras events, but Soulard also celebrates with wine, beer and whiskey. The Mardi Gras Wine, Beer and Whiskey Taste will be held at Soulard Market Park at the Bud Light Party Centre. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.
February 14, 2014
7 p.m. - 11 p.m.
3. Cajun Cook-Off
You are sure to get your fill of Cajun and Creole food at the Cajun Cook-Off. Ten professional chefs and ten amateur cooks compete in separate categories for the best Cajun/Creole dish. Watch the chefs prepare their dishes, then it's time to eat. Everyone who attends gets food, Bud Light and hurricanes. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.
February 15, 2014
11:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
4. Taste of Soulard
This is a great way to sample food from many of Soulard's best restaurants. Make your way to each restaurant or pub and use one of your tickets for a taste of its signature dish. Ticket books cost $25 for six tastes and a complementary glass of Southern Comfort.
February 22 & 23, 2014
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
5. Beggin' Pet Parade
It doesn't matter if you have a dog or not, this event is something to see. This is the 20th year for the pet parade and organizers are expecting thousands of dogs and their owners to turn out. Many will be decked out in costumes, others just come to be part of the fun. It costs $10 per animal to register for the parade. The money goes to the Open Door Animal Sanctuary, a no kill shelter in Jefferson County. You can register on the day of the parade, starting at 10 a.m., at Allen and Menard. See pictures of the Barkus Pet Parade.
February 23, 2014
1 p.m.
6. Wiener Dog Derby
Talk about a dog-eat-dog competition, the annual Wiener Dog Derby pits some of the area's fastest dachshunds against each other. Okay that may be a bit of an exaggeration. It's clearly more fun than competition, but the derby in Soulard Market Park is always one of the most popular events of the Soulard Mardi Gras. There are three divisions of racers based on the dog's age with top finishers in each category taking home prizes.
February 23, 2014
2 p.m.
7. The Mayor's Ball
This masquerade ball at St. Louis City Hall is the formal event of Mardi Gras. Hob nob with St. Louis society for the evening while enjoying dinner, an open bar and live music. Complimentary valet parking is available. Tickets are $100 to $500 a person.
February 28, 2014
7 p.m.
8. The Grand Parade
This is the big event of Mardi Gras, bringing tens of thousands of revelers to the streets of Soulard. Some 130 Krewes spend months building their floats, hoping to win prizes and bragging rights at the parade. In addition to the floats, there are also marching bands and, of course, millions of beads flying through the air. The parade begins at Busch Stadium, makes its way into the heart of Soulard and ends at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.
March 1, 2014
11 a.m.
9. Light Up the Night Fat Tuesday Parade
For those who just can't get enough of Mardi Gras, this is the last hurrah. The Light up the Night Parade in downtown St. Louis lets you celebrate right up to the start of Lent. Some of the top floats from the Grand Parade will fill the streets as the crowds gather once again to party, listen to music and catch a few more beads.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz told Boston's CBS television affiliate Sunday night that he will "move on" if he is not offered a multiyear deal from the team. Ortiz, 38, earned World Series MVP honors after the Red Sox won their third title in 10 years. Ortiz was nonspecific when asked how long he plans to play. "It can be two years, it can be three years, it can be 10 years. You never know," he said. Ortiz has one year left on the two-year extension he signed a year ago. He has played with the Red Sox for 11 years. He indicated that he would like to retire with them. "Hey, I would like to," he said. "I'm having fun. It's been a hell of a ride as long as I've been here. "But as I always keep on telling people, this is a business. Sometimes you've got to do what's best for you and your family. "As long as they keep offering me a job and I keep doing what I'm supposed to do and the relationship keeps on building up, I'm going to be there. Hopefully, I won't have to go and wear another uniform." But that could change if the team does not offer him a long-term deal. "Time to move on," Ortiz said. As long as he can effectively hit, he plans to keep playing, even if that means with another team. "I haven't seen it but if I have to, I've got no choice, I'm not going to quit," Ortiz said. "As long as I keep hitting the ball the way I have, I've got to keep on giving it a try." Ortiz signed a four-year, $52 million contract before the 2007 season and the team picked up his $12.5 million option for 2011. He then signed a $14.575 million deal for the 2012 season. Not wanting another one-year deal, he signed a two-year, $26 million contract in 2013. Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington has said there are no pending negotiations with Ortiz and the matter is not urgent. Ortiz had 30 home runs, drove in 103 runs and went over the 2,000-hit mark last year. It was the first time he reached 30 homers and 100 RBIs since 2010.

To abstain from social media is to largely and (sometimes) voluntarily dis-integrate the self from the social collective…By using [Randal Collins theory of Interaction Ritual Chains (IRC)] to describe how lack of digital engagement threatens solidarity and promotes isolation I not only argue against his technology thesis, but turn it on its head…Interaction partners often continue physical conversations in digital spaces—recapitulating events, adding new conversation content, and making plans for future meetings. The ritual does not so much start and stop as it merely changes form.
— The High Cost of Abstention by Jenny Davis on The Society Pages
I could not agree more with Jenny. Abstention is a dangerous game when it comes social inclusion, especially looking at small groups of individuals across a digital and physical space. Perhaps the most salient point made here is there is the digital and physical divide is eroding when it comes to interactions, emotional connections and relationships. Looking at a small group of people, for example on Twitter, it is one thing to be a part of a 'twitter group' with various online rituals, but that does not fulfill all the emotional requirements to form a lasting and meaningful bond; there needs to be a real-world interaction.
I think that this is particularly interesting point to consider when we start thinking about how the social space is evolving and how to create meaningful relationships that carry across the digital and physical worlds, slowly coming to a point where there is almost no distinction. There are not only implications here for individuals and groups, but for the brands as well; what could this mean for brands trying to create true, positive relationships with customers? Is there a way for brands to 'get in on' this type of relationship building with consumers?

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ballboy Great shoe Great ankle support, light on your foot and very stylish. They look even better in person than online. One of my better investments in basketball shoes. December 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by honeycombs37 Feels like a sock the spandex feel of the outside shell is really comfortable and snug. I actually did twist my ankle but the shoe kind of went with my ankle and also was tight enough which prevented a really bad sprain. It may of been that the shoe was new, but the durability so far has exceeded my expectations. May 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by C.Mc Loved them but. Best looking shoe I have ever had and I hated to send them back. The look is great but they are ridiculously narrow and at first I though I would never get them on. Once I did get them on I realized quickly that they have no cushion in the front and after only 15 minutes of play my feet were killing me.There is no way this was a size D and for those who say go a size bigger all that does is give you a shoe that is too long. Adidas is my favorite brand but they need to make shoes true to size. May 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by GametimeR One of the greatest shoes ive ever owned Possibly the best shoe ive bought yet. First lets go with the traction. Just absolutely great, even on dusty courts it works beautifully. I've played ball outdoors with these a few times (which has burnt down the rubber a bit) but it works great. The fit is like a sock, feeling so natural on your feet. You can tie it so tight to your feet too. A tad narrow, and personally the cushioning on this shoe is a bit weak, so i use dr.scholls inserts as my preference, but you sacrifice that for the low to the ground feeling. Overall amazing shoe, only use indoors though July 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by jay the clutch awesome This shoes is not bad...this is my first crazy quick pair and it's pretty good, I was actually surprised how good it is ...fits me pretty good great grip and wherever I try to move on the basketball court it gets me there I got controll ... and im looking forward on having 4 more pairs because it's that good.. some people say its too narrow but it's not just break it in and don't tie the laces too tight. Another thing is that your feet stays cool not too hot like on other shoes May 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by wiispectme Returned it due to size I returned this shoes after wearing them for one day and one game. They were extremely tight so I should have bought a size higher. The style is beautiful and an awesome buy for a wizard and John wall fan. I ended up returning them and buying the crazy quick 2.0s. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hdkim Good! Good for playing and moving on a court. June 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by HuManBearPig #CrazyNarrow I got above average width feet, but these things were crazy narrow. I could barely even get my feet into the shoe since the tongue is sewed into the sides where the laces are. I was sadly disappointed as I'm a huge Wall and WinZards fan. April 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Stretch forward Very satisfied I have had a lot of basketball shoes from a lot of different brands, Nike Jordan under armor etc I can honestly say these are some of the best shoes I've had. Very comfortable, grippy, and supportive. I can also say they look even better than in the pictures. I heard that they were narrow, so having wide feet I ordered a half size up and they fit great. July 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by JohnnyT Weird shoe This shoe has a sealed tongue, so the fit is extremely tight. They're difficult to put on, but even harder to take off. Great looking shoe, but very poorly (and cheaply) designed. Very disappointed. July 9, 2014

Valpo Posts Another Shutout Win
Friday, October 28, 2005Jeff Oleck (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral) notched his fifth shutout of the season and Chris Goss (Battle Creek, Mich./Lakeview) scored late in the first half to give the Crusaders a crucial 1-0 win at IUPUI Friday night.
The win closes the Mid-Continent Conference portion of Valpo's schedule and puts the Brown and Gold in great position to make their first conference tournament appearance since 2002. Valpo's record in the Mid-Con finishes at 3-2-1, their best league mark since going 3-1-1 in 1998.
In Friday night's match, it was again the Valpo defense that made the difference, recording their fourth shutout in six conference matches, and getting six more big saves from Oleck, the school's all-time leader in shutouts. His fifth shutout of this season is also second best all-time, just one shy of the six shutouts posted by Kevin Hughes in 1987.
In a physical defensive battle, Goss lofted a shot over the IUPUI wall in the 44th minute, his second mark of the season. There were 47 fouls whistled in the match, 31 on Valpo, and eight cards. Valpo earned six of the cards, including a red card issued to Jon Brighton (Warner Robins, Ga./Houston County) in the 90th minute.
The Jaguars (4-10-1, 1-4 Mid-Con) outshot the Crusaders 18-15 in the, and got three saves from losing keeper Peter Brasovan.
Valpo (6-8-1, 3-2-1 Mid-Con) returns to action Sunday afternoon at Eastgate Field to take on Xavier (Ohio). First kick is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and that match can be heard live on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics beginning at 12:40 p.m.

Mustang Computer Code Identification (1987-2014)
Correct Format for Mustang Computer Codes by Year
It is important to correctly identify your Mustangs computer code. There are literally hundreds of codes and it would be impossible and potentially hazardous to your motor to attempt to guess your code. Included are some examples of codes that you might find during these years to help you recognize your car's code.
Usually 2 Letters and 1 Number
Example Formats: A3M, A9L, A9P
Usually 2 Letters and 2 Numbers
Example Formats: H4M3, T4M0, U4PO
Usually 3 Letters and 1 Number
Example Formats: XSH1, CDC3, MDE2
Where to Locate the Mustang Computer Code
1987-2004 Mustangs
The Mustang computer code on 87-04 Mustangs should be on the passenger side door jam on a rectangular white sticker. Sometimes the sticker comes off, so you will need to look under the passenger side kick panel on the actual computer to get the Mustang computer code.
2005-2009 Mustangs
The computer code on 2005-2009 Mustangs is under the hood on the passenger side located on a silver rectangular box.
2010-2014 Mustangs
The computer code on 2010-2013 Mustangs is under the hood on the passenger side located next to the Fuse Box on a silver metal bracket.
Knowing your Mustang Computer Code is important for tuning. To learn more about custom tuning see the following links.

Great Value, will order more

I ordered these mugs for my wedding guests. We are going to Jamaica and they are perfect! I love them and the image that was printed on them was awesome! The thing I liked least about this is the the minimum order requirement. I didn't need 128 of them, but that is fine, I will put them out on a table at our reception and people can take them until they are gone.
The travel mug is good looking and substantial. Has an opening for a straw in the top. Because we are using these for resdiential care, it was the perfect design. Very scratch resistant too!
Great item for the price. Very sturdy and nice job on the screen print.
Favorite type of travel mug! Awesome job on the logo!!!
The imprint of our company logo is great and the size was increased due to your Sales director Jeff Anderson's diligent customer service to satisfy and guarantee the best efforts of my requests. There is nothing wrong with the product so I can't say what I like least about it!!
Very satisfied with our order. Mugs arrived on time with our logo nicely printed on each of them. Our clients have nothing but good things to say about them.
Good mug. Handle seems a little thin and makes it hard to get a solid grip on a full cup of coffee.
We were looking for a stainless steel water bottle with a caribener- do you have any in the 17 to 28 oz. size range?
I expected the logo to be printed on both sides of the mug, as the sample I received was. I was unhappy with the logo placement with a left handed handle.
Another nice product. A few of the cups came apart at the seam but over all very nice.
Disappointed in how long it took to get to me once we ordered them.
The mugs are just what we were looking for and a great price, but the color was a little different than the picture.

Each week, Patch users contribute numerous insights, opinions and observations. The following is a collection of the most thoughtful, moving, controversial or just plain funny comments that appeared on Patch sites in Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Richfield, Shakopee, Plymouth, St. Louis Park and St. Michael. Click on the headline to read the full story and join in the conversation.
(The comments below are not meant to reflect the opinions of Patch or its staff.)
Freiberg 'Not Willing To Wait' On Feds To Help Homeowners
As one of his first tasks as a lawmaker, Representative Mike Freiberg (DFL-Golden Valley) introduced a bill that, if it passes, will help those facing foreclosure proceedings. His work to protect homeowners from controversial dual tracking practices was inspired by local resident Rose McGee's story.
Robbinsdale Area Schools board member Helen Bassett commended McGee and Freiberg for their work:
We're proud of Mrs. McGee for the dignity and focus she demonstrated throughout this situation, and for the concern she has shown, not just for herself, but for others finding themselves in a similar situation! We're also proud of our State Representative Mr. Freiberg! Thank you both.
Patch Readers Express Concern Over Potential Bennigan's Restaurant
With the news of a Bennigan's restaurant possibly coming to Richfield, Patch readers and Facebook followers sure had a lot of say.
Patch featured those comments on the site this week, which prompted more people to weigh in:
In reference to the shopping center the restaurant is planned for, Tony Zimmerman said:
Knock down the hub and re-do it. That place is ridden with crime and looks old.
Jodi Olson said was more welcoming than most:
I think Bennigans would be a welcome sight to a place that is getting run down. Parking would not be good in front of the place but on the side, closer to Rainbow, there is often a lot of open space. Bennigans offers great food and specials which will encourage people to dine in Richfield.
Edina Public Schools Postpones School Calendar Decision
A decision of whether to start school before Labor Day for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years is still up in the air, after no clear consensus was reached during an Edina school board meeting last week.
Under the proposed calendars, classes would have started on Aug. 26 in 2013 and on Aug. 25 in 2014. A revised calendar proposal is expected to be ready for school board action during the group's Jan. 28 meeting.
Patch reader David F said the concept of an earlier start to the school year isn't necessarily a bad one:
Starting earlier was a good idea but people do not like change to the norm. Many school districts around the country are starting to go year round or having longer breaks during the year and not taking the summer off. US schools are falling behind in the rest of the world and part of school reform is recognizing the children need to be in school more.
On Saturday, Jan. 12, Eden Prairie Patch ran some movie reviews and asked for reviews from residents.
Catherine said:
Just watched les miserable, wow!! Beautiful film wonderful heart wrenching acting a definate must see. Only time i have ever heard a film applauded in a normal cinema setting, wonderful!
Drunk Woman Causes Epic Scene at SLP Bar
Prospective patron became angry after being denied admittance at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill.
Mike Hindin asked:
Why not an assault/battery charge? She shouldn't get away with pundhing or kicking anyone.
Jb said:
You have to have a victim for there to be crime. Therefore if the victim, who is the bouncer, didn't want to pursue charges for the assault, there wasn't a crime.
And mike savick responded:
From real life experience, a prosecutor can charge the alleged offender with assault even if the victim doesn't want to press charges. I was the victim and I asked the prosecutor not to charge the individual because I knew the mitigating circumstances that caused the individual to lose control, the individual was going to get help with his issues and he was going to pay for my glasses. The prosecutor said it was his choice not mine. Individual was found guilty, paid a fine and paid for my glasses.
U-Haul Withdraws Application to Open Business in Plymouth
The company had plans to renovate the old DHL Shipping building but withdrew the application because they wanted the city to give permission for 25 trucks on the property. The city council was only considering 10 trucks.
David Haas said:
I think it is interesting that the applicant withdrew without discussion, unless they felt that further discussion would not get them any closer to an agreement. A difference of 15 vehicles is big, but they should be able to find common ground. A couple of things stick out though, 1) Every UHaul store I've ever seen has 10+ vehicles in front of it at most times - unless it's the end of a month weekend. 2) There has to be more to the lack of willingness to negotiate - did they get the sense from the planning commission, staff or someone in council that 10 was the magic number?
Sad to see a business leave Plymouth - council should drive that stretch of 169 and realize it is not "green space" it is industrial - so 10 - 25 u-hauls isn't going to "hurt" the liviability standard.
Open Enrollment Isn't Making Hopkins Schools More Segregated
Hopkins is among the few school districts in the state where open enrollment is not leading to greater segregation between white and minority students, according to a University of Minnesota Law School study published last week.
Stan Berris thought that was great:
As for Hopkins, we are very fortunate to have the open enrolled students in our district. They have allowed us to maintain programs, staff, and educational opportunities by providing the additional funding to our school district. We also receive many benefits in having a diverse student population in our schools. This is something we can be very proud about and I am glad that Hopkins Schools took on this challenge many years ago and developed programs that are considered one of the top in our State. It would be hard to find another school district that works so hard in trying to reduce the achievement gap and provide a better quality of education for all of our students!
Coach joe didn't agree:
The difference is that i'm not asking for a free bus ride for my children,I'm not asking for scholarships for sports,lunches,field trips,etc ,etc.
I'm not bringing into the schools,lice,bed bugs,cockroach eggs on my shoes.
My kids are not going steal,cheat,lie,disrupt classes.
Your heart can bleed all it wants mark but mine is made of steel.
If you do not have enough money for your kids to play sports or eat,,GET A JOB.
Pay taxes ,take a shower and clean your house.
These poor children with lazy parents do not mix in well with families who work thier tails off and are pulling all the weight.
But mtka_soccer_mom thought he went overboard:
Whoa Coach Joe, where is all this stuff coming from! You should seriously consider some therapy to help deal with your anger. This is the Hopkins Patch not some Fox News blog forum. Lets keep it civilized! My children are happily study in Hopkins schools and have not been infected by any of the ghastly things you suggest. By the way most open enrollment families are from good families, the reason they chose open enrollment is because they care about their kids enough to choose a school that made sense for them!
Albertville Woman Charged with Allegedly Voting While Ineligible
A convicted felon who pleaded guilty in 2010 to writing a bad check had allegedly not waited until her civil rights had been restored before voting in the 2012 general elections. A conversation began about the fact that Albertville City Council election results came out with a tie vote — could her vote have changed the results?
Frank M said:
I wonder if she voted for Larry S. or Mark Barthel. Maybe someone should fine out, if it was for Larry then Mark would have won the election.
Rick added:
That's one of the issues that this electorate does not understand. Proper ID and a signature and one can vote. Same day registration is an absolute joke. While most people are honest, there is plenty of evidence of "precinct hopping" for one. When people move, it is law to have their drivers license updated. There is a box that can be checked at the DMV when registering that will have the county of old and new residence that your voter registration must be updated.
What it all boils down to is personal responsibility, knowing the voting rules and participating (not many people know that if you don't vote over a four year cycle, you are supposed to be dropped from the registration log, although there was a person who had been dead over 10 years on the log).
The real tragedy of this was cited above. While this individual will be charged, what if there is a 1% fraud rate? ~5,000 votes were cast at City Hall. And there was a tie for City Council. Do we see the problem here???

Today's technological advances have redefined the ways that companies conduct their operations. It has created massive and immeasurable opportunities for businesses to engage their customer base and manage their data. With these great advances, comes some significant risks. The ability to electronically manage all of your data has increased productivity and efficiency. It has reduced the need for storage space to store paper documents and so much more. However, there is still a challenge that companies must address. What happens in the case of some type of disaster in which the primary data management program is compromised? How will you recover those vital files and data?
Understanding the Dynamics of Disaster Recovery
Businesses are like most other elements that function in society. Each one is different and the needs and expectations for each are different. This means that the way one company perceives disaster recovery will be different from another. Many times these differences will be distinct. There are some companies that are looking for simple backup services that will allow them to back up their sensitive files on cloud servers. In many cases, these type of backup services will be facilitated on some type of shared server program.
There will be other companies that will need more detailed support as a part of their disaster recovery strategy. The key thing to understand here is that in either case, the company has taken the time to develop the strategy prior to there being a need to execute it. The company that is looking for something a bit more detailed and comprehensive my look into a number of hybrid cloud solutions that will be designed with their specific needs and demands in mind.
The goal of a disaster recovery plan it to ensure that business is not interrupted in the instance that a disaster takes placed. The more elaborate and comprehensive a recovery plan is the higher the capacity level the business will be able to function at during the recovery process.
The Use of Data Centers
One of the most popular services offered by disaster recovery providers is the use of multiple data centers that are equipped with state-of-the-art servers that have the highest reliability. These servers are also alternatively connected, so that if one were to go down, the data would still be saved. You would think that gold is being stored at these facilities with the amount of security that is used to protect them. The truth is that the information being stored at these facilities are more valuable than gold; they protect the lifeline of thousands of businesses
Working with a Provider that Understands Your Needs
It is vital to work with a provider that is reputable as well as resource capable. Taking chances with cut rate providers to save a few cents may cost you in the long run. It is important that your provider is capable of listening to your needs and demands while being able to lucidly communicate to you the best possible method of providing the level of protection that you are looking for.
When you find the right program, you will be able to function with the confidence of knowing that you are able to protect important data that is a key element in maintaining the level of trust with your customer based that is necessary to build customer loyalty.

Here is Rich's thoughts on us and GB.
Sept. 20, 2005) -- Two weeks into the new season and the two-time defending World Champs have the same record as the team that won only two times all last season. The Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers are 0-2 together for the first time in, well, forever. The Colts are 2-0 thanks to their defense and New Orleans just opened its home schedule in New York.
Talk about impossible to predict.

Analysis, opinions, features and more!
Field Pass
Listen to LIVE radio broadcasts of EVERY NFL game!
Let's keep going: Daunte Culpepper has already thrown more interceptions in two weeks than he had in the first three months last year. The Bengals now own a piece of their division lead. So do the Bears. Those two teams will play each other in Week 3 in what must now be considered a Soldier Field Showdown. The game will be broadcast in Hi-Definition on CBS. The Jets and Dolphins this past week was not.
Minnesota Vikings: Right now you could call them the Yikings, as in what in the Wide, Wide World of Wade Wilson has happened to Daunte Culpepper? Tentative might be the most euphemistic term for the guy who played on tilt all season last year. Lost would be another. Culpepper appears to be trapped in that quarterback netherworld, where he makes weak and dangerous throws when he should pull it down and run, and pulls it down and runs when he should hang in the pocket and exercise more patience with his receivers. Of course, last year he had Randy Moss. But last year he also had Matt Birk, Onterrio Smith and Scott Linehan around to help. Indeed, that's the litany of answers from Vikings watchers to the aforementioned question. No Randy Moss, thus no vertical game to bail Culpepper out should the run game falter, which it is doing in spades what with their perennial Pro Bowl center out for the season (do you think the Vikings are re-thinking that financial decision to let Birk have season-ending surgery?) and Smith trying to get through airport security with the Original Whizzinator (accept no imitations). Michael Bennett was supposed to return from injury and to starting success, but a severe case of fumble-itis has limited him to only nine carries in two games this year. With Linehan now coordinating the Dolphins offense, conventional wisdom has it that there are way too many moving parts in Minnesota for the offense to click anytime soon. On Sunday, their multi-million dollar defense let them down. Sure, Culpepper frequently left his cohorts defending a short field in Cincinnati, but it wasn't Daunte who gave up a 70-yard touchdown to Chad Johnson only two plays into the game.
Silver Lining: The Vikings usually finish up horribly, so maybe they're due for a reversal of fortune and just getting their losses out of the way now before finding their way. Or, maybe they'll still finish that way and they're already doomed. I guess that runs counter to the idea of offering a silver lining.
Next 3 weeks: vs. New Orleans, at Atlanta, bye week. If the Vikings can't get straightened next week against a Saints team that will be spending its third consecutive week on the road, then it could be bye-bye before hitting the bye.
Brett Favre can't be Brett Favre without adequate protection.
Green Bay Packers: For the first time ever, the Packers and Vikings find themselves 0-2 at the same time. Like Culpepper, Brett Favre is missing his deep threat this season, too, with most people pointing to that when troubleshooting Green Bay's issues. But like Culpepper, you must look at the Packers offensive line as the chief source of Favre's woes. Javon Walker could be completely healthy and running gazelle-like into single coverage all the live-long day and Favre still would have trouble getting him the ball. Only two games into the season, Favre already has been sacked as many times (five) as he was sacked during the entire first eight weeks of last season. At this pace, opposing defenses will bag Brett a near David Carr-like 40 times, which would not only tie a career-high for Favre, but would also probably put him on a lawn mower in Mississippi for good. Unlike the Vikings, nobody expected the Packers defense to be vastly improved, so if the offensive struggles continue, we could be in store for our first Packer-less postseason in 5 years. Oh, by the way, with Favre and Culpepper laboring and Joey Harrington matching Daunte pick-for-pick in Week 2, guess who that leaves as the NFC North's leading passer? A guy who was getting ready for the Fighting Illini at this point last year: Chicago's Kyle Orton, which leads to the silver lining ...
Silver Lining: No one is going to run away with this division, and no one else has Brett Favre on their team. On Coachspeak, Jim Mora Sr. called the NFC North football's version of the NL West, meaning .500 could win it ... and maybe the line pulls it together in time for Favre to work yet more magic. They did start 1-4 last year and still won the division. In that light, 0-2 is a walk in the park.
Next 3 weeks: vs. Tampa Bay, at Carolina on MNF, vs. New Orleans. If Green Bay doesn't get its act together in time for Jon Gruden's far improved pirates, it could be 1-4 again ... or worse

|This just in . . .
The United States has come to the defense of a journalist and former Miss America contestant who has been sentenced to prison in Iran for spying. Roxana Saberi, who was Miss North Dakota in the 1997 Miss America Pageant and is partly of Iranian descent, has reported from the Islamic Republic for a number of years. The U.S. government says Ms. Saberi has never been a spy, and it is demanding her release.
December 2008 and January 2009 was a time of turmoil and tragedy in the pageant world. Mexican beauty queen Laura Zuniga, 23, was stripped of her Bolivian-based Hispanoamerican Queen crown after being arrested along with seven men in a truck filled with firearms. The arrest led to charges that she is the longtime girlfriend of a Mexican druglord. Ms. Zuniga retained her Mexican state crown of Miss Sinaloa pending the investigation. As a runner-up in the Miss Mexico Pageant in 2008, she was scheduled to compete at Miss International 2009. Meanwhile, Miss Iraq 2002, Anisa Abdi, was jailed in Hong Kong, accused of investing money from firms in Kenya and Hong Kong.
On a sad note, popular Brazilian beauty queen Mariana Bridi died Jan. 24 after contracting a mysterious, fast-acting urinary infection that spread throughout her body and resisted all antibiotics. Doctors had amputated her hands and feet in a vain attempt to save her. They described her as having a remarkable will to live to have survived so long. Ms. Bridi had been a Brazil Miss World finalist more than once, and her other pageant accomplishments including Face of the Universe at a pageant in Ghana and "Best in Swimsuit" at Miss Bikini International in China. She had fallen ill just as her modeling career was beginning to take off.
On Oct. 29, 2008, the Supreme Court of Chile upheld a judgment against a journalist for libeling a former Miss Universe. Victor Gutierrez claimed in 2001 that the former Miss Universe, Cecilia Bolocco of Chile, was having an affair with a writer while engaged to former Argentine President Carlos Menem. She denied it. She and Menem later married but are now moving toward a divorce.
Evelyn Ay Sempier, who was Miss America 1954, died on Oct. 19, 2008. As Evelyn Ay, she was crowned Miss America while representing Pennsylvania. She was the last Miss America crowned before the pageant was televised.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was chosen by Republican Sen. John McCain to be the party's 2008 vice presidential candidate, is a former Miss Wasilla who competed in the Miss Alaska (America) Pageant. That makes her the most politically successful pageant veteran in U.S. history.
Jessica Huntington, Miss Georgia Teen American Queen 2008 and second runner-up at nationals, is the new cover girl for Short Hair Showcase magazine. She was the 2008 cover girl for the Riva Designs satin line and has appeared in Seventeen Prom, Teen Prom, Riva, and Johnathan Kayne publications.
Former beauty queen and PNB cover girl Amy Robach, now of NBC News, will anchor the "The NBC Nightly News" on Aug. 6 and Aug. 7, 2008, while regular anchor Brian Williams is away.
On July 9, 2008, authorities in Boulder, Colo., declared that DNA evidence had cleared John and Patsy Ramsey in the slaying of their 6-year-old daughter, JonBenet. The crime remains unsolved. The slaying of the child in the family's Colorado home on Dec. 26, 1996, created a media firestorm. Pictures of JonBenet performing in child pageants created the impression that such competitions sexualized young girls and that the parents of contestants were child abusers. Bizarre theories focusing on the parents became commonplace, many stressing the fact that Patsy Ramsey, who died in 2006, had once competed at Miss America. The family was vilified for years. Interestingly, no evidence of scandals in child pageants emerged as a result of the intense scrutiny. "This case was a horror for the family," said journalist Gerdeen Dyer, founder of www.pageant.com, "but it was also an enormous blow to the pageant business in America. Its impact on public opinion has been lasting."
Elyse Umemoto, who as Miss Washington was the second runner-up the 2008 Miss America Pageant, ran into an embarrassing situation in July 2008 when pictures of her making various kinds of obscene gestures at a party surfaced on the Internet. Ms. Umemoto apologized, saying she was clowning at a private party and regretted that the pictures had become public. Miss Washington officials, saying it was basically a lapse in judgment by a good person, said there would be no punishment.
Miss America 2008, Kirsten Haglund, has been selected by the Detroit News as one of the Michiganians of the Year. The award is given annually to recognize outstanding Michigan citizens and their contributions to society.

2nd Edition- The street # of my studio address
I have titled the new version of this book "Remainders" since the photographs focus on all the things left over after creating my art. However, although they may have started as remainders, by pairing them with other remainders, they have a new life joined as one whole.
Please understand, I am not a writer; but this is my attempt to give a verbal introduction to a visual book.
I cannot hope to understand or fully appreciate how any writer, especially great writers, go about creating a book. This is a visual book; no writing, just pictures. The pictures are meant to stimulate both a visceral and a verbal response; an engagement on both a gut and an intellectual level.
I created this book in much the same way as I create one of my paintings. And just like one of my paintings, I preferred not to have a fixed idea about what the book was to be about or exactly what kind of book I wanted it to be. I wanted to keep my mind and eyes open looking to create something new or make some original discoveries.
It all started on a gray day, which seemed to drive me to depression (not unusual; I don't much like gray days). It was not a clinical depression; just a self-indulgent convenient malaise. It was a depression more like what Vladimir Nabokov describes in a passage from the book Lolita when he writes: "... and going to a cabinet, he produced a vial of violet-blue capsules banded with dark purple at one end, which, he said, had just been placed on the market and were intended not for neurotics whom a draft of water could calm if properly administered, but only for great sleepless artists who had to die for a few hours in order to live for centuries." although I might easily be accused of being overly dramatic if I had penned those words about myself.
But then, just as many of my painting go through stages of "gray," the more I worked on this book the more magic I experienced. Even the "dead" flowers that I had photographed the first day, I revisited 3 days later to discover that a wonderful white lily had risen out of the tangle of dead leaves.
As I photographed and reviewed the detritus of my life, the "mess" of my creative life at my studio, the photographs made everything more tangible and manageable; and I even began to have a vision of hope. Then as I paired photographs of my past and present, they started to form new connections. I began to understand that by forging new relationships between objects or photographs, a whole new world of optimism opened up. Through these innovative connections, hopelessness was replaced with not only hope, but with a new world and a new life.
I have titled the book "Remainders" since it really does focus on all the things left over after the creating of my "art" (the "detritus" of my life in the studio).
Remainders that include, (but are certainly not limited to):
• paint left over on palettes;
• photographs of models used and unused for my art;
• object for inspiration that I've collected;
• the tools I use to create my art; including rags, brushes, and unused paint;
• photographs referencing people, feelings, moments and events;
• photographs that give me a "feeling" that I've hoped to put into my paintings;
• photographs of paintings that I continue to use as inspiration;
• objects I've created solely for myself;
• books, drawings, paintings, posters, postcards; all used for inspiration and ideas;
• the "mess" I constantly leave behind in my efforts to create
These (and many more) are the constantly growing "Remainders" of my creative life; and by pairing each of these remainders with another across the page, I've tried to give them a new life.

Actor Henry Winkler (remember "The Fonz" from "Happy Days"?) has written a book titled "I Never Met an Idiot on the River." Obviously, he's never floated the Meramec.
The Fonz's book is about fly-fishing in Montana and the lessons it has taught him. I guess floating the Meramec could teach some life lessons too, like...
Some tattoos work when you're 18 but not when you're 38
How to effectively trade for cigarettes and beer
Mullets were a bad idea in the 80s, and they're still a bad idea
The Fonz might not even know what a "float trip" is. I was emailing my friend Shannon who lives in Mississippi and told her what I was doing that weekend. She responded, "What in the world is a float trip?" I can just hear her say that in her cute Southern accent. Shannon lives near the ocean in Biloxi and probably doesn't get out to rivers much, so I explained what it was. She replied, "My idea of a 'float' trip is on an air mattress in the middle of a pool with an umbrella drink in my hand....Y'all have fun!!!" Seriously, she wrote "y'all." Is it wrong to wish I had a Southern accent?
Anyway, I couldn't have an umbrella drink in my hand (I can't mix alcohol, heat and water - bad things happen), but I did find the most perfect pink parasol for the day. In my defense, it was the hottest day so far this year. And, John had fun telling people he was "Driving Miss Daisy" all day. You can bet we got more than a few stares with a pink parasol on the river.
By the way, John is the best canoeist ever! He's like Daniel Boone out there! Which was great, because I only had to help paddle once (which was more than enough for me) and that was only because we were sucked into an eddy (whatever that is). And, he brought a gallon of his now-famous Yucca, which everyone loved (everyone except me - have I mentioned I was the only sober person on the Meramec that day?!).
When I returned to work on Monday and showed my co-worker Jessica the parasol photo, she said "That's so country." Duh. It's a float trip.
Guess she's never floated the Meramec either.

Allensworth History
In August 1908 Colonel Allen Allensworth and four other settlers established a town founded, financed and governed by African Americans. Their dream of developing an abundant and thriving community stemmed directly from a strong belief in programs that allowed blacks to help themselves create better lives. By 1910 Allensworth's success was the focus of many national newspaper articles praising the town and its inhabitants.
An unavoidable set of circumstances made it impossible for the residents of this tiny town located 30 miles north of Bakersfield to achieve their founders' dreams over the long term. But the town did remain home to a handful of families and individuals throughout the 20th century, and true to the courage and resolve of its founders, the town has survived and persevered, earning the well-deserved title "The town that refused to die."
In 1974 California State Parks purchased land within the historical townsite of Allensworth, and it became Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. Today a collection of lovingly restored and reconstructed early 20th-century buildings—including the Colonel's house, historic schoolhouse, Baptist church, and library—once again dots this flat farm country, giving new life to the dreams of these visionary pioneers.
With continuing restoration and special events, the town is coming back to life as a state historic park. The park's visitor center features a film about the site. A yearly rededication ceremony reaffirms the vision of the pioneers.

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the ending of slavery. It was on June 19th, that Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and that all the slaves were now free. This was two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipatation Proclamation, which had become offical on Jan. 1, 1863. This day is clebrated by African Americans in honor of their ancestors who received notice of being set free from slavery on June 19th 1865. There is great entertainment, great speakers and, of course, fabulous free tours of the historic buildings given by State Park Docents.

The vast majority of Fair Lawn may have its power back by the end of the weekend, according to a PSEG work schedule released by the governor's office Saturday.
Gov. Chris Christie released the restoration plans for New Jersey's three primary power companies Saturday in an effort to provide New Jerseyans greater transparency and certainty about the progress of restoration in their towns.
"While progress has been made in restoring power to many businesses, households, and critical infrastructure in the aftermath of Sandy, there are still over 1.25 million customers without power," Christie said in a statement. "So many New Jerseyans have demonstrated significant patience and resilience through the storm and this initial recovery period, and it is our obligation to get them back online and with the certainty of a timeline they can reliably plan their lives around in the coming days."
The restoration plans, provided by PSEG, Jersey Central Power and Light and Atlantic City Electric, give a town-by-town breakdown of the number of customers serviced, the number of customers without power and a restoration timetable for the next three days.
Fair Lawn has 39.9 percent of its 13,899 PSEG customers still without power, but restoration is expected by midnight Sunday.
In Saddle Brook, 29.8 percent of the 6,570 customers remain in the dark, but PSEG has yet to release a timetable for full restoration.
To access the power restoration plans for PSEG, click here. Note that the column for "% Customers in Service" appears to have been transposed and actually shows the percentage of customers without service.
