ENDA would force all Americans who prefer to live within the realm of reality to pretend, by force of law, that a man is a woman — that an apple is an orange, simply because that apple thinks it's an orange (awkward, fruity pun not intended). It's "The Emperor's New Clothes" meets George Orwell, and even if you're the Mary Lou Retton of mental gymnastics, you land flat on your keister on this one.
ENDA is portrayed by proponents as a panacea against workplace discrimination — a mere extension of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They claim it simply insulates people against employment discrimination based upon "sexual orientation" or "gender identity". But instead, the legislation would actually violate the Civil Rights Act.
This bill pits the government directly against religion which is unconstitutional on its face. It would force employers to check their First Amendment guaranteed civil rights at the workplace door by not allowing them to consider sexual morality — in any way — while hiring or firing. It would make federal lawbreakers out of Christian, Jewish or Muslim business owners who honor their faith and would require that newfangled "gay rights" — based entirely upon an individual's chosen sexual behaviors — trump an employer's enumerated constitutional rights.
But ENDA sits atop a house of cards. Homosexuals and cross-dressers are a privileged group, not an oppressed minority as activists would have you believe. The U.S. Supreme Court has devised a three part test to determine whether a class of persons qualifies as a true minority: They must be defined by an immutable characteristic (unchangeable, like skin color), they must be economically deprived, and they must suffer from a history of discrimination and political powerlessness. Homosexuals and cross-dressers fit into none of these requisite categories. Instead, the facts show that homosexual behavior is changeable, that homosexuals are largely affluent, and that homosexual activists represent one of the most powerful lobbies in the world per capita.
Furthermore, proponents falsely claim that the bill contains a religious exemption. But it's entirely illusory. At best, only churches — and essentially pastors — could be exempt from the provisions of ENDA, and that's not even guaranteed. All other faith-based organizations — even those which are tax exempt — would be discriminated against under this bill. Groups such as Christian schools, Christian camps, faith-based soup kitchens and Bible book stores would be forced to adopt a view of human sexuality which directly conflicts with fundamental tenets of their faith. ENDA would ultimately give liberal judges the authority to subjectively determine who qualifies for the exemption. It's the goose that laid the golden egg for homosexual activist attorneys, and it would open the floodgates for lawsuits against employers who wish to live out their faith and even those who don't.
Finally, the bill legalizes sexual harassment. It states that "denial of access" to workplace facilities such as restrooms and dressing rooms based on gender is only allowed for "shared shower or dressing facilities in which being seen fully unclothed is unavoidable." This means that female employees would have to endure both systematic sexual harassment and a hostile work environment by being forced to share bathroom facilities with any male employee who got his jollies from wearing a dress.
But other than that, ENDA's great! In fact, it may not go far enough. I mean, while we're at it, shouldn't we include protections for people based on "species identity?" If a man gets in touch with his inner horse and wants to run in the Kentucky Derby, let's force Churchill Downs to make it happen. It makes as much sense.

Although standards are now changing, improvements to products in stores may not be completely apparent in time for the 2008 holiday shopping season. The law requires some provisions to begin within months and others to begin within years.
It will take two years, for instance, to start a database that will enable people to search for injury, death or illness reports on products.
And although she said "this year's Christmas toys are probably already shipped," Nancy Cowles, executive director of Kids in Danger, a nonprofit advocacy group in Chicago, added, "I'm certainly hoping that at least some of the major manufacturers and retailers have already put into place some of the measures already in the bill."
On Tuesday, the Toy Industry Association, a group that represents more than 500 manufacturers and toy importers, said the group is already working on a Toy Safety Certification Program to enable products to conform to the new law.
The new law will also give the Consumer Product Safety Commission new resources to ensure safe products and will require lead levels to eventually be reduced to 100 parts per million. It requires mandatory testing and safety certifications on children's products for ages 12 and younger and calls on foreign manufacturers to adhere to U.S. standards for toy safety. It requires manufacturers to label products with tracking information so people can easily find out if the product they own has been recalled.
The law also bans selling kids' toys and products that contain more than 0.1 percent of certain phthalates, which are chemicals used to make soft and flexible vinyl.
But the effort to restrict those chemicals has met some resistance from the American Chemistry Council. On July 28, the council said it supported bolstering the Consumer Product Safety Commission but said the element of the law that will restrict phthalates is ill-conceived.
"Our children's health and safety is too important to rush through product restrictions without understanding their full consequences and ACC [the American Chemistry Council] believes that restricting phthalates from children's products, when they have been deemed safe for use in those products by the CPSC [Consumer Product Safety Commission], will do nothing to protect children's health," Sharon Kneiss, vice president of the products division at the chemistry council, said in a statement.
"There is no scientific basis for Congress to restrict phthalates from toys and children's products," she added. "With over 50 years of research, phthalates are among the most thoroughly studied products in the world, and have been reviewed by multiple regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe."
On Capitol Hill, the House and Senate came to an agreement on the measure to give the Consumer Product Safety Commission a makeover at the end of July and sent it to the president for his signature earlier this month.
"One of the roles of government is to get between kids and the sorts of hazards that are well beyond parents who aren't engineers and chemists with laboratories at their disposal," said Texas Republican Joe Barton, ranking member on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce panel, in a July 28 release.

Full of useful space-savers. A top-of-the-line Bosch dishwasher, the SMS69L32GB provides enough room for 14 place settings. Large plates or dishes will fit easily thanks to the height-adjustable upper rack. It features a multi-use drawer on top, which replaces the cutlery basket to give you even more space. And you'll still have enough space on top to fit any regular-size wine glasses. You'll wash dishes at your choice of five temperature settings, including an economy programme that uses less energy and water. Plus there's an anti-flood shut-off device and a 2-year warranty, so using this appliance is truly worry-free.

Pros: Quiet
Cons: basket design may not suit all.
"We bought this machine to replace another Bosch. This machine is good in many ways, but the baskets are not well designed. The top located cutlery tray means a loss of overall height in the rest of the machine (obvious perhaps). Consequently, even with careful adjustment of the basket height, our 26.5 cm (10.5 ins) dinner plates or our 20 cm (8 ins) wine glasses barely fit, with the cutlery tray slightly fouling the glasses when pulled in and out. If the basket is lowered to the lowest setting the plates will not fit. In addition the floor of the top basket slopes and is stepped on the right hand side which makes it difficult to balance larger diameter cups and glasses in place. To support our long stemmed glasses the glass supports have to be used which is a less efficient use of space. In our old machine the glasses would simply rest against one of the ordinary dividers. We were pleased with our old Bosch machine and I expect that this new one will last well and be reliable. However, I suggest anyone thinking of buying this model should try and have a close look at it "in the flesh" and decide if the basket design will meet their particular needs."

Pros: Value for money, Good build quality, Quiet
Cons: Complicated, cutlery drawer not basket
"First impressions are of a well-built, extremely quiet machine. One reservation is that the cutlery drawer takes some getting used to, and for me is not a good idea. You lose height, and I find myself forever opening and closing the drawer when loading, whereas previously (using a basket) everything was in front of you. I also preferred the old method of having the programmes on a series of push-buttons on the front of the door. The revised design requires longer and more buttons to push - a triumph of design over practicality."

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good
"3 weeks into ownership of this dishwasher and could not be more pleased. I was a little disconcerted at first to see the display in German, but a quick flick through the instruction leaflet and a simple press of a couple of buttons later all was well. First impressions were of excellent build quality, much heavier and far better put together than my old Hotpoint. Very easy to operate and so quiet! It has a very good range of programs which work well, with excellent results, the intensive area is particularly good for saucepans and baking trays which have been left overnight. Very versatile, with it's fold down racking allowing a varied combination of pans , plates etc to be loaded. All in all an excellent piece of kit! Well reccommended."

Large and oversized dishes are no problem, since crockery of up to 30cm will fit in the lower basket, while 21cm is the maximum size for the upper basket. Your dishes won't be at risk of shifting and incurring breakage during the cycle, as there are 6 plate racks in the top basket and 6 in the bottom basket, plus 2 cup racks in each basket as well. These all fold away for added flexibility.
There's a quick wash programme for those times when you need clean dishes fast. Plus you'll appreciate the hygiene plus setting, which uses a longer, hotter final rinse – perfect for your chopping and cooking utensils!
A very quiet 38dB is all the noise it makes, so it's no louder than a whisper. You'll get a self-cleaning filter, which helps make maintenance hassle-free. And there's a 24-hour delay timer, so you can set the machine to start while you're out or overnight to take advantage of cheaper energy tariffs.
The Bosch SMS69L32GB is in the A+ energy-efficiency class, so it's affordable to run. In fact, yearly energy costs are approximately £45 per year, based on 15p per unit.
For your peace of mind there's a child safety lock. The unit also features an anti-flood device to help prevent troublesome leaks. And you can feel even more secure in the knowledge that there's a 2-year manufacturer's warranty included as well.

Five winters have passed since young king Bridei ascended the throne of Fortriu. Five years, in which the people have felt a contentment unknown for generations. But the security of a people can vanish in a heartbeat, for wolves are often drawn to fields filled with fattened sheep. Bridei is determined to drive the Gaelic invaders from his lands once and for all. And so, with his land secure and his house in order, he prepares for war. One of Bridei's plans to win the war to come involves the beautiful young Ana. A princess of the Light Isles, she has dwelt as a hostage at the court of Fortriu for most of her young life. Despite being a pawn of fortune, she has bewitched all at court and is dearly loved by Bridei and his queen. But Ana understands her duty. And so she will travel north, to make a strategic marriage with a chieftain she has never seen, in the hopes of gaining an ally on whom Bridei's victory relies.
For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a small band led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores Ana to trust him and see the good in Faolan…but Ana cannot see beyond his cold competence and killer's eyes. Then, when she arrives at the chieftain Alpin's stronghold in the mysterious Briar Woods, her discomfort and unease increase tenfold, for this is a place of full of secrets and her betrothed is an enigma himself. The more Ana tries to uncover the truth of her new life, the more she discovers a maze of polite diversions that mask deadly lies. She fears Faolan, but he may prove to be the truest thing in her world.
Or her doom.

"Loved it"
I enjoyed this title immensely. I found it to be much more interesting than the first book in the series and my heart ached for the characters throughout. I can't wait to see what is in store for Faolan in book three!
"I loved it!"
I've loved all of Juliet's books but I've found some of the audio versions are read in a super dramatic way that I don't really care for. but the first 2 books in this series have been awesome. Downloading the 3rd now :)
"Second book better than first, on to third book!"
I bought both books on a series sale, and wasn't happy with the uneven quality of the first book, but still considered it a 4 star book.
The second book in the series has tighter writing, lots of intricate plot lines that weave together, and more sensory descriptions (mostly visual, some sounds, some tactile) than in the first book to help fine tune the mental imagery the reader/listener uses.
The story is much more complex, interesting, and adventurous. Still lacking or awkward in the wit or humor department. It's great that authors do a lot of research and come up with intricate plot lines, but if an author can write despair and horrible treatment of people or fight scenes, what's wrong with some wit and humor as well in order to balance out the human experience.
On to book three!
Give a brother a vote.....lol
While I am usually a fan of more action and epic war scenes, this book has less of that and more of a deeper story which I couldn't get enough of.
Can't really say...maybe one of the Ryaria Chronicles books?
Yes, he is always spot on.
No....but I tried....lol
If you are looking for a book that would meet the epic fantasy category, this would be a great book for you. Knowing that much of the book comes from a true story and a king that actually reigned, it makes the book all the more interesting. Must read, and can't wait to get the third book rolling.
this second book in the series was just as good as the first. actually, it was maybe just that little bit better. i like the way it is written, not too much blood, gut and gore, no long drawn out sex scenes...the author gets the point across with out over doing the ugly, un-needed parts. kept my interest, and can't wait to listen to the third book.
the only thing that kept this book from a full boat of stars was the narrators gravelly, harsh sounding voice on too many of the characters for the men. he did a very good job with the female voices, but for the men, well, after a while that raspy harshness starts to get on my nerves.
"Interesting story...but"
I enjoy the magical realm in books, and like strong women/men who fight for what is right. I was very disappoined in this book, given I felt it was very slow to develop, and very little magical moments. Most of the book was given over to romance, not what I wanted to read, albeit, the story line was interesting, barring the hours of romantic and convoluted personal relationships.

A few moments of insight and rare nuggets of wisdom lift this novel a few notches above the usual soufflé-light girlie fiction.
The Hindi film industry has sourced vast bodies of writing in the past, nearly every aspect of film-making having been dealt with in minute detail. And just as you thought that Bollywood had exhausted itself as fodder for fiction, comes Bombay Duck is a Fish by screenwriter Kanika Dhillon.
The title arrests with its sheer quirkiness as does the cover (brilliant illustration of the fish!).Told in the voice of Neki Brar, a small town girl with big-time dreams of making it as a Bollywood film-maker, the book takes a convoluted trip down the film studios of Mumbai. Lurking as a murky background to the main story is a collage of debauchery, insecurity, camaraderie and treachery that inevitably binds people living on the periphery of success in the glamour industry.
Aerial view
The book opens with an aerial view of Mumbai taken from a suicide platform. As the protagonist, in a flashback of sorts, hurtles from one personal disaster to another in her maiden job as junior assistant-director, the reader is left tearing his hair at how anybody could get everything so wrong (and so often!). It needs a special sort of talent to be so bad at every given task and it is obvious at the very onset that our heroine possesses this particular talent in abundance. Added to that is a wayward heart that insists on falling in love with the most unsuitable character around (the second lead actor) and we are all set for a jolly roller-coaster ride of weepy emotions.
The shooting scenes of a movie — set in Mumbai's famous studios — are well brought out as are incidents of back-stabbing, jealousy and petty foul play on the sets. The author is a brave woman, showing celebrity actors in their true (unflattering) colours with the flimsiest of disguises. In fact, the fictitious names come so close to the real ones that the reader has not a shred of doubt about the true identity of the characters. The side artistes in this drama are infinitely charming (much more appealing than the lead players). The amorous godmother to the upcoming actor, the assistant-director slated to be a future heroine (and thus privileged), spot boys aching to get in front of the camera, the scheming studio-hands, the power-hungry driver of the lead actor and the child artiste with a bad tummy play close to real-life situations. Clearly autobiographical to a great extent, Dhillon's open adoration of actor Shah Rukh Khan comes pouring out of the text and the acknowledgments section while a gushing back-cover blurb from choreographer-director Farah Khan merely nails the pretty picture together.
Dhillon is blessed with refreshingly sly humour and of particular interest are the heartwarming mails that Neki Brar pens to her mother, in stark contrast to the actual happenings. The parents — typical small town people of North India — the scheming colleagues at work, the shrewish boss with a heart of gold and the love-struck male colleague are so stereotyped that they come across as caricatures rather than solid characters. A twist here and a nip there while constructing them would probably have added dimensions and made them more unpredictable and real. The atmosphere created of single women eking out an existence in the shared cramped spaces of the city is brought out with surprising credibility. The pitfalls waiting to trip the unwary newcomer could also be a valuable lesson to all those star-struck youngsters who are thinking of making it big in Bollywood. Mumbai, the Mecca of celluloid dreams, is known to be heartless and unsparing towards rank newcomers who come in from outside and yet it is the small time person who invariably makes it big here (Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Mallika Sherawat being examples).
Major anti-climax
The author, a recruit of Red Chillies Entertainment adds strength to this phenomenon by having swung it as scriptwriter for one of the biggest sci-fi movies to be released shortly. The book, to a great extent, resonates with her real life struggles. The climax is paradoxically a major anticlimax leaving the baffled reader in a no-man's zone between the living and the dead (what on earth happened here, dear author, pardon the pun!). The protagonist appears to sign off from the netherworld, vanishing into the mist and leaving the reader entirely befuddled.
Bollywood, at its best, is a devious, labyrinthine and intimidating industry with many a dark secret lurking behind its ways of functioning. What Dhillon offers is a bubble-gum etching of the real picture. Bombay Duck... is an unabashed work of chick-lit but surprising moments of insight and rare nuggets of wisdom lift this novel a few notches above the usual soufflé-light girlie fiction.
Bombay Duck is a Fish, Kanika Dhillon, Westland, Rs. 195.

CCC Polkowice Head Coach Jacek Winnicki"It was a very good game from both sides. The team of Salamanca is the last in good shape. That is why I am delighted that we have won this match. We played with great commitment on defence. In the end we ran out of some strength, but we won."
CCC Polkowice player Valeriya Musina"I am very happy because we played very well today as a team, it was a great atmosphere. Salamanca defended very hard. We're making progress, and this is most important."

On this week's show, Mindy brings a drunk Dr. L home to his apartment.
Usually The Mindy Project is one of the smartest and funniest shows on television. But this week's episode makes light of rape.
As "Breaking Bad" comes to an end this week, the big question on fans' minds is what will become of chemistry nerd turned drug kingpin Walter White and his family.
Fall TV season is upon us! Two of the shows I'm cautiously excited for are the third season of Once Upon a Time and its brand-new spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
Once Upon a Time is a show about Disney-trademarked fairy tale characters cursed to live in the modern world. That may sound like a recipe for horribleness, but it actually pretty fun.
Modern Dads is a new reality television show on A&E that follows the lives of four stay-at-home fathers in Austin, Texas. There have only been three episodes so far, but it probably won't last long because—spoiler alert—it's very boring.
I admit I didn't join the Breaking Bad bandwagon for years. In 2008, a screenwriting professor suggested I watch the show after I wrote a similar screenplay about a woman with breast cancer who decides to take back her life—but I held off. In the flurry of grad school life, I didn't want to get sucked in to what everyone said was a completely addictive show. Until now.
In the last week, I've binge-watched every episode of Breaking Bad. I've been surprised, overwhelmed, humored, angered, saddened, and excited, and that's probably what show creator Vince Gilligan wants.
Dana Scully portrait by the talented Hey Monster.
The summer between sixth and seventh grade was a long one. I was super gawky—already six feet tall, equally passionate about science and musical theater, with pants that never quite reached the ground—and I spent most of my days on the sofa, wolfing down episodes of The X-Files.
Today, the show celebrates the 20th anniversary of the day its first episode hit the air. As a tween, I couldn't have asked for a better role model than Agent Dana Scully.
"Orange is the New Black" (OITNB) premiered on Netflix on July 13 and I, like many others, settled down with a family sized bag of Sun Chips to unapologetically binge-watch the entire season that very same Saturday. It struck me how many people on the show are seen doing something that's unusual for television: reading books.
While watching the first episode the new season of the hit UK television drama Skins last week, I wasn't thinking about which character would have a confrontation with authorities or who was going to cheat on whom. The outspoken show about the notoriously experimental teens got me thinking about women at work.
Netflix's Orange Is The New Black debuted at a perfect time for numerous reasons—we were starving, really, for a racially diverse female-driven show unafraid to tackle queer and transgender narratives.
But the timing is particularly perfect politically, because now more than ever the shameful, counterproductive, racially biased and monumentally expensive criminal justice system deserves national interrogation, and this show could potentially help move that conversation forward.
Although its chiseled, aggressive men undoubtedly give the series a macho bent, this addictive blend of adolsecence and the paranormal is not without a solid cast of women--and after nearly three full seasons of dude-centric story arcs, I think it's time that the women of Teen Wolf got their fair share of the show's plot.

This will help sugarcane farmers get a better price for the produce, says Minister
Molasses output in the State likely to be around 10 lakh tonnes Government making efforts to revive sick sugar factories
DAVANGERE: The State Government will give impetus to export of molasses by sugar factories with the intention of providing a better price for sugarcane farmers for their produce, S.A. Ravindranath, Minister for Sugar and rural water supply, has said.
Mr. Ravindranath told The Hindu Chennagiri on Monday that though there was no restriction in the State to export molasses, sugar factories restrained from exporting it. Molasses were being exported from many States, including Maharasthra, and that was one of the reasons for sugarcane farmers getting a good price for their produce, he said adding that the Government would encourage export of molasses.
He said the production of molasses in the State was likely to be around 10 lakh tonnes against the total requirement of six lakh tonnes. "After retaining the required quantity of molasses, we can export the remaining and earn more," he said.
The Minister said the Government was thinking of making it mandatory for sugar factories to have distillery and power generation units so that they could sustain transitory financial crisis and continue to exist for a long time.
Sugar factories in Belgaum and surrounding areas have agreed to give RS. 1,300 for a tonne of sugarcane as appealed by the government, the Minister said adding that Semisavadi sugar factory was the only sugar factory which was yet to give Rs. 1,300 a tonne.
Mr. Ravindranath said the Government had been making serious efforts to revive all the sick sugar factories in the State and many private parties had come forward to take over some sick units.
Referring to illegal pumpsets installed in the upper reaches of the Bhadra canal, the Minister said that a meeting of the Deputy Commissioners, Superintendents of Police and officials of the Irrigation Department of Davangere and Shimoga would be convened soon. A drive would be launched to remove the illegal pumpsets.
Mr. Ravindranath said Deputy Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa had agreed to include the Rajanahalli Lift Irrigation scheme in the coming budget and that the Government had decided to earmark and release one- third of the total project cost during the current year.
He said that outcome of the Chamundeshwari Assembly byelection would not have any bearing on the continuance of the coalition government in the State.

Six Things to Know About CrossFit Before You Try It
Show up to your first session feeling comfortable and confident with this insider's guide to the hard core workout.
Check age limitations before you visit your local CrossFit location.
Check age limitations before you visit your local CrossFit location. Some gyms don't allow gym-goers under seventeen to attend, and even if they do, it can be more fun to train with students on your level. If you're under the age limit, check out CrossFit Kids. This program is an excellent place to begin your CrossFit career, teaching proper technique and form before moving you on to adult classes. "Teen specific classes focus almost entirely on mechanics," explains Jeff Martins, Director of Youth Training for CrossFit and co-founder of CrossFit Kids. "The general perception of CrossFit is about going fast and hard all the time. In these classes, the focus is never to move faster, it's about learning how to improve your movement and mechanics over time."
Know that you're going to sweatso dress accordingly.
"The only things you really need are clothes that let you move and sweat," says private coach and CrossFit NYC Communication Director Allison Bojarski. "You can also bring a bottle of water because you'll need to hydrate well during the workout."
Classes are an hour, but only a short period of that is comprised of an intense workout.
"Timed workouts tend to be on the shorter side around ten to twenty minutes. There's also a warmup, strength training, a cool down, and stretching," explains Bojarski.
You should learn a few key terms.
It's helpful to familiarize yourself with CrossFit's unique lingo before hitting up a class. First up, what's a Box? This refers to the area in which you'll be working out. Don't expect StairMasters and Elliptical machines. Boxes are usually large open spaces with just the necessary equipment for cardio and strength training. Once you get there, you'll be taught about the day's WOD, or Workout of the Day. Sometimes you'll just be completing the WOD, but you can also be expected to do an AMRAP. This mean you'll be expected to complete As Many Rounds As Possible of the given WOD in a timed period.
If you can't make it to a box, you can find workouts online.
"CrossFit started as an online phenomenon," says Bojarski. "There are videos on the CrossFit web site to teach you how to do different moves and check your form. We encourage people to first check out a box and learn some moves with a coach before going out on their own."
Your safety is a priority to CrossFit coaches.
"The last thing we want to do is hurt people," emphasizes Bojarski. "The first priority is that people are comfortable with what they're doing. If someone can't do a proper squat with no weight, I wouldn't put a bar bell on their back. CrossFit can get a bad reputation because of the speed aspects of the workouts, but we want people to earn the right to go fast. More and more boxes are realizing the importance of encouraging quality movement patterns. What makes CrossFit great and what's helped it succeed as a fitness model is that we scale for each person to a level that they can achieve. We give people something they're capable of that will still challenge them and then gradually increase the difficulty over time."

New Orleans Mid-City Bayou Booga-loo – May 15-17, 2015 8 May 2015, 12:41 pm
If you are in New Orleans the 3rd week of May, you won't want to miss the annual Mid-City Bayou Booga-loo! This event was started 10 years ago by the Mothership Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging social change and improving the quality of life for Louisiana residents through the promotion of arts, culture and recreation. The Booga-loo is a main fund-raising event for the foundation, which uses the profits from the festival to plant Southern Live Oak trees in the city that were lost to Hurricane Katrina. This worthy endeavor is made even more special by it's location in the Mid-City neighborhood, in which 1896 O'Malley House is located, making it very convenient for our guests to attend!
The Booga-loo will run Friday the 15th from 5pm to 9 pm, Saturday the 16th from 11am to 9pm, and Sunday the 17th from 11am to 8:30pm. The festivities start on Friday evening with three different music stages presenting six different acts.
On Saturday morning, the Zulu-Bayou Boogaloo 5K Run
starts at the intersection of
Broad and Poydras at 8:30am and finishes at the Festival. The
1/2 mile fun walk takes place within the Festival grounds. The
winner of the 5K gets to ride on the world famous Zulu Parade on
Mardi Gras Day! Now that is a worthy prize!
From 8:45am to 2pm on Saturday, take part in the 2015 MCVG Bayou Boogaloo Bicycle Pub Crawl for a donation of only $20 and visit six bars, finishing at the festival. What a way to start the day!
At the festival, you will be amazed at the sheer number of musical acts, performing on two stages. There is a wonderful Kid's Tent, with tons of great activities for the littles. You can spend hours browsing the Arts Market, where dozens of artists will be displaying their wares.
Of course there will be food! Did you even have to ask? Several purveyors of fine festival eats will be available, including jambalaya, alligator, Po' Boys, BBQ, Brats, even vegetarian delights – you won't walk away hungry!
The Boogaloo is a free event, but to make it extra-special, you can purchase VIP tickets, which involve side-stage viewing, air-conditioned restrooms, cooking demos, shady seating, food and a private bar.
Parking for the festival is the not-fun part. Leave your car with us and feel free to take advantage of NOLA's excellent bus system, bike, walk (it's less than a mile from the inn!), or ride a streetcar. The festival is held on the banks of Bayou St. John, official address is 500 N. Jefferson Davis Parkway. The Art Market is across Orleans Avenue from the festival.
No matter how you get there, you will enjoy this uniquely NOLA festival!
Hot Fun in the New Orleans Summertime 17 Apr 2015, 3:53 pm
People often think the only time to visit New Orleans is around Mardi Gras, and that we don't have anything going on the rest of the year. Nothing could be farther from the truth! NOLA is a city that never stops having fun – even in July, when the sun is hot and the music and festivities are even hotter!
We start the month with a big celebration of our nation's birth- the annual and world renowned Go Forth on the River – wherein thousands gather on the banks of the Mississippi to watch Dueling Barges, each with an amazing fireworks display choreographed to patriotic music, and visible from both sides of the river.
The same weekend is the acclaimed Essence Music Festival, July 2-5, 2015. The lineup for this event is incredible, with musical superstars such as Usher, Mary J Blige, and Missy Elliot. Comedians include Kevin Hart and Luenell. The inspiration contimues with speakers Deepak Chopra, Shaun T, Kim Burrell and many more. Most of the event will be held at the Superdome and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. It's recommended to come to town on Wednesday the 1st and leave on Monday the 6th so you don't miss any part of this powerhouse festival.
The following weekend, on July 11th, a uniquely New Orleans affair takes over the streets of the French Quarter. Patterned after the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the San Fermin en Nueva Orleans still has runners with their red sashes, but substitutes Roller Derby dames for the steers. Which is more dangerous? You decide! Stay for the whole festival though, it starts on the 9th with a wine dinner, continues on the 10th with El Txupinazo, the kick-off party, crescendos with the La Fiesta de Pantalones party and finishes with Pobre Mi party, all benefiting Animal Rescue New Orleans. What not to like!?
Takes of the Cocktail is an event for pub professionals and partakers alike. This year it's held July 15-19, 2015 and is a week-long libation celebration. Taking place at different venues throughout the city, there are tastings, workshops, classes and demonstrations. And we can't think of a better place for it than New Orleans!
The hot month of July finishes with the Satchmo Summerfest in the French Quarter July 30 – August 2. There will be music, food, music-history seminars, a jazz mass, a second-line parade, an art contest and more. No true jazz aficionado would dream of passing up on this commemoration of New Orleans native son, Louis Armstrong.
Make your plans and book your stay soon, so you don't miss out on any of the hot New Orleans fun in the summertime!
Summer in New Orleans – Events and Festivals of June 2015 27 Mar 2015, 10:14 am
If you are looking out the window at snow drifts, you might be dreaming of a summer that is hot in more ways than one! Make your plans for June now (so you don't miss the chance to stay with us!) and be in New Orleans for some unique events that can only take place in the Crescent City!
Fans of the celebrated HBO series Treme will find their joy in the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival, which is produced by the same people who put on Jazz Fest. the Cajun-Zydeco fest will be held at Louis Armstrong Park in Treme on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, 2015, from 11am. to 8:30pm. both days. The festival features artists from all over Louisiana, dance lessons, a crafts fair and of course, food – both cooking demonstrations and vendors. This IS New Orleans, after all!
This year's Festigals has the theme, "Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Journeys!". The festival will be June 11-14, 2015, with events at different locations throughout the city. How about "Bodacious Bras For A Cause Luncheon and Auction"? This fun fest promotes networking, support of women's causes and female empowerment.
If baseball is more your thing, attend Star Wars Night at Zephyr Field in Metarie. Wearing Star Wars themed gear gets you into the game for just $5. Meet and take photos with Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers. The first 1000 fans get a free light saber. After the game, enjoy an intergalactic fireworks display!
This is not your mama's tomato festival – The Annual French Market Creole Tomato Festival is dedicated to the delicious red fruits grown in the rich Mississippi Delta soil and vine ripened to give you that fresh and rich taste you remember from childhood summers. You'll enjoy wonderful dishes made with the pomme d'amour, three music stages and a "Best of the Fest" contest.
Don't let summer pass you by without some fun in the sun (or shade) at one of our Louisiana festivals!
April Showers Bring Awesome Events to New Orleans! 6 Mar 2015, 3:08 pm
It doesn't actually rain more in April than other months in New Orleans, but sometimes those showers are welcome as we head into the warmer months! April is chock-full of fun events for visitors to our lovely city!
The first weekend in April brings two distinctly New Orleans events: The Crescent City Classic and the Freret Street Fest. The Allstate Sugar Bowl Crescent City Classic is one of the oldest 10K races in the US! It's one of New Orleans' fine annual traditions. After the race, you can attend the Freret Street Fest, an annual festival presented by the Freret Market to showcase the vendors and products of the neighborhood. Both events take place on Saturday, April 4.
Easter Sunday is on April 5th this year – and of course, we celebrate with parades and festive fun! The French Quarter has three parades, one at 10:30, which ends at St. Louis Cathedral for 11:00 a.m. Mass. At 1pm is the Chris Owens French Quarter Easter Parade, followed later in the afternoon by the Gay Easter Parade. At 9am, meet up in City Park for a huge Easter Egg Hunt.
April 9-12, 2015 brings the famous French Quarter Festival, also known as "The World's Largest Block Party!". Four days, over 1600 Musical Acts, more than 60 Food and Beverage Vendors, entry fee, 0 dollars- it's free to get in! Make sure to purchase official fest beverages to help keep this a free festival for all!
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is a HUGE music festival that takes place over 7 days in two weekends. The headline acts are amazing this year – Lady GaGa and Tony Bennett, Keith Urban, Ed Sheeran, Elton John and so many more! This fest takes place at Fair Grounds Race Course. Get your tickets in advance!
Golf fans will love the Zurich Golf Classic the week of April 20-26, 2015. The action takes place at the Tournament Players Club. Top flight golfers from the PGA Championship Tournament Circuit will be playing, to the delight of spectators.
Anytime of year is great in NOLA, but April brings temperate weather, fun festivals and even a few rain showers- make sure to be here for the fun!
It's the 2015 Festival Season in New Orelans! 19 Feb 2015, 8:50 am
Mardi Gras has now come and gone, but that doesn't mean the fun and festivities have stopped in New Orleans! With the Fat Tuesday crowds dispersed, you can enjoy many more great events in our beautiful city, in the cooler Spring months before it gets really hot around here, weather-wise!
We've already talked about May in another article, but we don't want to forget March, which is prime-time for festivals. The third month brings the Buku Music and Art Project on the 13th &14th, followed by that good old NOLA tradition of Mardi Gras Indians Super Sunday on the 15th. You don't want to miss St. Patrick's Day Week (end), which brings block parties and parades galore that extend all the way into April! The weekend of the 21st starts a whirlwind of activities, starting with the Congo Square New Worlds Rhythm Festival on Saturday and Sunday, the New Orleans Spring Fiesta, which includes French Quarter Home Tours, a parade and a festival, all week long, the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival from the 25th through the 29th, Foodfest, an incredible street festival at the French Market on the 27th, the wonderfully-named Hogs for the Cause on the 27-28th at City Pork, er, Park, and finally, the Louisiana Oyster Jubilee in the French Quarter on the 29th. Plenty of music, food, parades, games, and fun for everyone!
To help you plan for St Patrick's Day:
Experience New Orleans in May – Festivals and Events for Spring 2015 29 Jan 2015, 2:37 pm
You might say it's much to early to be thinking of things to do in May, but we want to be thinking ahead to the last month of Spring 2015 in the Crescent City! The weather is still comfortable, with an average high of 85 degrees and some lovely rain to cool everyone off when it gets too warm. You can wear your shorts and seersucker, as long as your shoes are comfortable, and bring along an umbrella if you don't want to get too wet.
Starting with the first weekend in May, we have the second weekend of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, or as it's known locally, Jazz Fest. Held at the Fair Grounds Race Course, the festival takes place from 11am to 7pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am not exaggerating when I say there are hundreds of musical acts lined up for the full event, as well as lots of vendors and tons of food. Parking is non-existent next to the park, so use public transportation to reduce frustration.
On May 15-17, the Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo returns for the 10th year to the shores of bayou St. John. There will be a lot of music, as well as food, crafts, and art vendors. You won't want to miss the Rubber Duck Derby, the bicycle Pub Crawl or the Bicycle Second Line. Being a Mid-City event, you can easily walk over to the festival from 1896 O'Malley House.
Next on the list is a four day celebration of the culinary scene! May 20-23, at various locations throughout the city, the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience brings joy to foodies and wine cognoscente. Events include The Big Gateaux Show, Vinola and the Royal Street Roll. Make sure to get your tickets early!
The same week, Greek Fest kicks off Memorial Day weekend (May 22-24) with a commemoration of Greek Culture and food at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Treme. Free admission on Sunday to anyone wearing a toga, along with a Best Toga contest on Sunday evening. It's a family event, so keep it classy, folks!
Finally, to close out the month, Oyster Fest takes place May 30 & 31 at Woldenberg Park. It's everything Oyster, from all kinds of amazing dishes, oyster shucking and eating contests, music, vendors and all the wonderful things you love about festivals in the Big Easy!
Make sure to reserve your rooms in time to stay with us in comfort and to enjoy true Southern hospitality for these uniquely New Orleans events!
Mardi Gras 2015 – Let the Good Times Roll! 9 Jan 2015, 11:17 am
It's time again for all the frolicking fun of the carnival festival season in New Orleans! Although Mardi Gras isn't actually until Tuesday, February 17th, you can see parades starting as early as January 31st! The first New Orleans parade is the Krewe du Vieux at 6:30 in the French Quarter. You can see parades almost every day from Saturday, January 31 through the Big Day itself in NOLA and the surrounding areas. Make sure you come prepared to enjoy yourself and take in all the crazy sights and sounds of Mardi Gras in the Crescent City!
Mardi Gras New Orleans provides all the parade routes, times and dates, as well as information about the Krewes. Take advantage of this wonderful FREE site to get all the insider scoop!
Two parades that we love are the Orpheus and Rex. Rex has held more parades than any other Krewe, having been formed in 1872. They originated the traditional Mardi Gras colors of Purple, Green and Gold and the collectible commemorative Dubloons. The Rex parade rolls mainly down St. Charles Avenue on February 17th at 10am with its theme "Wars That Shaped Early America." Orpheus follows a similar route on the 16th at 6pm. Orpheus is a more modern SuperKrewe, founded in 1993 by Harry Connick Jr. They are famous for their celebrity guest monarch. Monarch for 2015 is comedian and actor John C Reilly. Dierks Bentley, country superstar, will headline the big Orpheuscapade party, also held on the 16th. Attend both Rex and Orpheus, for a taste of the new and the old, as well as a chance to catch some amazing throws!
No matter which parades you attend, you are sure to find a good time in NOLA at Mardi Gras. To make the most of it, spend the nights with us at 1896 O'Malley House to be assured of a comfortable sleep and a great homemade breakfast to fuel you for the day's (and night's!) adventures!
August Events in New Orleans – 2014 1 Aug 2014, 11:28 am
Even when the weather is steamy, New Orleanians will throw a party! You can always find fun and food and of course, MUSIC in the City that Care Forgot. This month there are some uniquely NOLA events going on, starting with Satchmo SummerFest, which takes place at the Old U.S. Mint (400 Esplanade Ave), through Sunday. Originally planned as a 100th birthday celebration of Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, the festival has become an annual affair, with bands playing Jazz music on several stages, some of New Orleans' best restaurants setting up around the fest and Pop's Playhouse for the kids, among other fun stuff!
On August 2, the Warehouse District presents White Linen Night, where people dressed in their coolest white linen will stroll and shop the art galleries along Julia Street and then get their groove on at the Contemporary Art Center's White Linen Night After-Party.
Starting on August 7th, the "biggest little Red Dress event in the world" starts up with the Red Dress Expo, happening at the Fairgrounds Clubhouse (1151 Gentilly Blvd). The Red Dress Run is an adults-only event put on by the Hash House Herriers, a "drinking group with a running problem". You must register to do the run and the party, and you must be over 21. With your registration, you get to run in your red dress finery, an "endless supply of beer, a great catered meal from Corky's, giveaways (if you sign up early enough), two nationally known bands (Five Finger Discount and Flow Tribe), dancing and partying the day away"
Save your laundry for after August 9th, when the annual DIRTY Linen night occurs along Royal Street, Jackson Square and Dutch Alley. Gallery and Boutique shoppers are encouraged to don their slightly soiled linen from White Linen Night as they sample dirty martinis and dirty rice from the vendors along the route.
Finally, Labor Day weekend brings the 43rd annual Southern Decadence. This year's theme is "Under the Big Top – Welcome to the Gayest Show on Earth". Mostly taking place in the French Quarter, there are parties and celebrations going on non-stop for the entire weekend (and when we we say weekend, we mean Wednesday through Monday!). Keep up to speed with the list of events.
Don't let the Southern Summer deter you from enjoying the frivolity of August in New Orleans! Stay with us at the inn for a comfortable bed and a fabulous breakfast to rest yourself between parties!

San Fermin en Nueva Orleans (Running of the Bulls) – July 10-13, 2014 19 Jun 2014, 3:10 pm
You don't have to travel all the way to Pamplona to run with the bulls, you can come on down to New Orleans! The San Fermin en Nueva Orleans Festival is our special version of the Spanish festival without the risking of your life part! There are horns involved, but they are on the helmets of the wonderful ladies of the Big Easy Rollergirls, plus friends from other roller derby leagues across the country. These bulls won't gore you, but if you run too slow, you might get whacked with a whiffleball bat. I won't say that some people like to get whacked, but there are some mighty slow dawdlers along the course!
If you run, you have to wear a white pants and shirt, as well as a red bandana. This being the Big Easy, not everyone keeps to the traditional look. You'll see costumes like matadors and bulls, of course, but you also may see some luchadores and who know what else!
The runners start bright and early at 8am on Saturday, but the
festival starts on Thursday with the Marqués de Cáceres Wine Dinner
at the Hotel Mazarin, which includes wine tastings, dinner, Spanish
guitar by Riccardo Crespo, and a special guest from the 18th
century! On Friday, enjoy El Txupinazo (pronounced el
choo-pee-naht-so), a free pre-party at The Sugar Mill from 5-9pm,
with a chance to meet the Rollerbulls, delicious cuisine and live
music. On Saturday, the running is preceded by the procession of
San Fermin, and followed by the post encierro party, where you can
enjoy live music and food. Saturday night is La Fiesta
de Pantalones (pants party), where you can listen to music and sip
cocktails. Sunday finishes off with the appropriately titled, El
Pobre de Mi (Poor Me) party; a tapas brunch, Ernest
Hemingway-inspired contests, readings from The Sun Also
Rises, live music and a few other entertaining
surprises. El Pobre is free and open to the public. The
Saturday events are ticketed, and you'll want to buy early. You can
take a look at the different offerings HERE.
We have plenty of rooms for the weekend at 1896 O'Malley House! Call us for reservations or just check our availability calendar on the website.
"Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters." – Hemingway
Essence Music Festival – July 3 – 6, 2014 – Stay with Us! 16 May 2014, 2:43 pm

After a full day of concert-going, come back to the 1896 O'Malley House for some relaxation in our courtyard with a glass of wine or beer before slipping off to sleep in your comfortable bed. Wake to a delicious home-made breakfast before you're off to the day's festivities. We will treat you right with our Southern Hospitality!

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is the man to end their trophy drought, says club legend Jim Montgomery.
The FA Cup winner is a big fan of O'Neill.
Montgomery told The Journal: "What we did in 1973 does still hangs over the club.
"But the supporters, of which I am one, want to see Sunderland win a trophy and Martin can do that.
"He won a lot of trophies as a player and manager. He did it as a manager at Leicester City, Celtic, came close at Aston Villa, so he will view winning one of the cups as a real goal next season.
"Martin has been to a lot of cup finals throughout his career, as a player and manager, so hopefully he can take us down that road, which would be terrific for the club as a whole.
"One thing I am sure of is that he will put his best team out every time – he's not the kind to rotate at all – because he wants to win every game."

Parents are up in arms about the state of reading and writing in primary schools. Not only, they claim, are teachers preparing children as young as five and six for a new test, they are actively discouraging children from spelling correctly and from working at their own individual pace.
