Oktoberfest and Halloween in the Big Easy 2 Oct 2015, 9:03 am
Ahhhhh, October! Mardi Gras happens in February, but the festival season starts to really take off in early fall. The weather has cooled off to a lovely 80 degree average, so outdoor festivals are comfortable. We eagerly await two big events, Oktoberfest and Hallowe'en!
You wouldn't expect New Orleans to do Oktoberfest on a small scale, and we don't! Taking place over three weekends at the Deutsches Haus (which is easily reached via a 25 minute bus ride from 1896 O'Malley House), Oktoberfest is a celebration of German heritage, which includes delicious Bavarian foods like Sauerbraten, Bratwurst, Krautwickel and Sauerkraut, among others. Don't miss the giant pretzels! You'll enjoy rivers of beer and tastes of German wines and liquors – have you ever tried Buttershot Schnapps? Mmmmmmm, tasty! There is even a Kinderecke, or Kid's Corner, to entertain the wee ones. Depending on which weekend you attend, events include the 4th Annual Dachshund Dash, a Swordfighting Performance, Disco Amigos, a 5K run, the Beer Holding Contest, and the 610 Stompers, billed as "Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Moves". Here's a sample:
Oktoberfest will be held Friday and Saturday, October 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27.
Halloween is celebrated in a big way in N.O., just like everything else! The spooky festivities start on October 24th in the Vieux Carre as the Krewe of Boo rolls the Halloween Parade! This amazing spectacle combines fantastic floats with incredible, locally-produced throws (candy, souvenir cups, coffee pacs, light-up medallion beads, VooDoo doll pins and magnets, children's grab bags, Chee Wees and MORE!). This year's parade King is the dashing and handsome Sidney Torres IV. The parade runs from Chartres and Elysian Fields, down Decatur/Peters, up and down Canal, then up Tchoupitoulas, St Joseph and Convention Center and then on to Mardi Gras World, where the Monster Mash After-Party will start at 9pm.
From October 29-November 1, 2015, New Orleans celebrates Halloween LGBT Style with events over the course of the "extended weekend". 2015's theme is "Fall of the Pharaohs," and means that we will see a lot of beautiful Cleopatras and hunky pharaohs haunting the the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann streets in the French Quarter. Events include: Thee Lazurus Ball, Silent Auction and Wine Raffle on Thursday, Republic New Orleans with DJ Grind on Friday, Contemporary Arts Center with DJ Gauthreaux on Saturday and a Brunch, Jazz and Gospel Entertainment at House of Blues, followed by a Second Line on Sunday.
The big night itself, October 31st, is a fun time for all. Take part in Haunted Tours, Cemetery tours in the "Cities of the Dead", VooDoo Shops, and street parties, especially on Frenchmen Street in the Faubourg Marigny and the French Quarter – people watching will be the best pastime, as locals and tourists alike dress in the most outlandish costumes to celebrate!
Southern Late Summer – September in New Orleans 3 Sep 2015, 10:15 am
It's starting to cool off, just a little, here in the Crescent City, which means the Festival season is just around the corner. The city's B&Bs will start to fill up earlier, as people venture out to places unknown. New Orleans is an excellent spot for those wishing to extend the summer a bit, and we've got lots of adventures in store for you.
Starting on the second, Southern Decadence is one of the largest, premier events in New Orleans. Commemorating its 44th year, this celebration of gay culture brings joyful events to the city, such as Gay New Orleans Walking Tours each evening at 5:30, parades, starting with the Knights of Decadence on Friday at 7pm, and the 41st Annual Official Southern Decadence Parade, kicking off at the Golden Lantern at 2pm on Sunday. There are too many events to list here, from block parties and dance parties and so much more – check the events schedule for a full line-up.
This weekend is the Louisiana Seafood Festival, a free event held in City Park, just a few minutes from 1896 O'Malley House. The free event takes places Friday-Sunday from 11:00am to 7:00pm, and provides what is the staple of the best of NOLA's fests: music and food! There are 25 food vendors from which to sample seafood delicacies, live music from 15 different acts, a kids tent and live seafood cooking demonstrations, not to mention the Art Village, a great place to pick up unique souvenirs to take home.
The 5th Annual Restaurant Week flies under the banner "We Live to Eat". It's a fitting motto for the home of the Po' Boy, the Muffaletta, and Oysters Rockefeller. From the 14-20, you can enjoy prix fixe menus at some of the city's most iconic (and expensive) restaurants, at a 25% discount – participating restaurants will be offering two-course lunches for under $20 and three-course dinners for under $39.
Our final uniquely New Orleans event is the Seventh Annual Burlesque Festival, held September 17-20. There will be workshops, parties, a book signing, burlesque shows, and a grand ball to honor the Queen of Burlesque. Since the events are all held in different venues, tickets must be purchased separately. These are adults-only events, so plan accordingly.
1896 O'Malley House is a great headquarters for all of your adventurous gallivanting! We offer comfortable rooms, a delicious breakfast, free beer and wine 24/7 and a relaxing courtyard for your downtime.
Bowling in New Orleans 23 Jul 2015, 2:01 pm
You might think that bowling would be last on your list of Things to Do in New Orleans, but as with most things, New Orleans does bowling a little bit different and might I say, a little bit better than most places.
Just a little more than a mile from 1896 O'Malley House is the famous Rock 'N' Bowl. Now in a newish location on South Carrollton Avenue, the place is so much more than a bowling alley. Since this is NOLA, you will have live music, a dance floor, delicious bar food and drinks. The music is generally Wednesday through Saturday nights and some Sundays, and consists of names you know, like Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys, Horace Trahan and so many more. The dance floor is "sprung", which means it has more than one layer to make it softer to the foot, so you can dance longer and harder than usual!
The bartenders are known for their friendliness and ability to make drinks of all kinds. The food is not what you'd expect from a bowling alley – how about a house grind burger, on a Leidenheimer onion bun? You can also choose from fried treats, a chicken with greens salad, and even Boudin Douzaine. Wait- what was that? Yes – a basket of delicious, deep-fried sausage balls. Wash it all down with a beer, then try the Bread Pudding Po' Boy for dessert. Don't worry about the calories! You'll dance and bowl them right off!
When you're in New Orleans, you want to visit the most iconic spots in the city, and Rock 'N' Bowl will not disappoint!
Satchmo SummerFest – New Orleans, July 30 – August 2, 2015 3 Jul 2015, 11:01 am
Satchmo SummerFest has become a hot ticket in New Orleans in more way than one! The blistering days of summer combine with the sounds of cool jazz to create a musical storm to wash away the doldrums and bring out the crowds to the grounds of the Old U.S. Mint.
This will be the 15th annual SatchmoFest, which started as a one-off in 2001 to honor one of New Orleans' most famous denizens, Louis Armstrong, otherwise known as Satchmo. It was such a huge success that it has occurred every year since. The event brings together Jazz fans of all ages to appreciate two live music stages outside, featuring Deacon John, Jewel Brown, Bill Summers, Rebirth Brass Band, Yoshio Toyama, Kermit Ruffins and over 40 more.
Concessions will be available for drinks and food, and plenty of fun for the children, including a book nook, coconut decorating, instrument making and even a Kids Second Line Parade! How fun!
Indoors, Jazz aficionados will take part in seminars inside the Old Mint, in the Cabaret Theater. You can learn all about Satchmo himself, as well as history of jazz, and presentations on other jazz greats.
In addition to the festival events listed above, you can also take part in a screening of High Society at Le Petit Theatre, the opening reception at the Omni Hotel on July 30 at 8pm, the exciting and fun Opening Day Second Line Parade at Washington Artillery Park , starting at 10:30am and a Jazz Mass and Second Line Parade from the Church of Sidney Bechet on Sunday, August 2nd.
Make sure to reserve your rooms as soon as possible, the city sells out early for this amazing summer spectacle!
Bastille Day in New Orleans – July 11-14, 2015 12 Jun 2015, 9:59 am
Bastille Day is celebrated in France much like we celebrate Independence Day in the US. It commemorates two days – July 14, 1789, in which the Bastille was stormed and overcome by French citizens, and July 14, 1790, The Fête de la Fédération, which celebrated the unity of the French Nation, and peace following the violence of the former year. In New Orleans, which is also known as "Most French of American Cities", Bastille Day is celebrated as well!
On July 11th, the Alliance Française of New Orleans, and partners, the French Consulate and French-American Chamber of Commerce are throwing the Bastille Day Fête in Spanish Plaza from 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. There will be live music, French cuisine vendors, lots of fun for the kids, and a "French Dog" contest. This is a free event.
On the 12th at 11am, the CitroëNOLA French Car Club will have a parade from the Bywater neighborhood area, along Chartres Street to Canal and through the French Quarter area to their final destination parked along the 700 block of Frenchmen Street along Washington Square Park. The cars and their knowledgeable owners will be available for viewing and visiting from noon-4pm. Juts before 4pm, make your way to Decatur Street between Jackson Square and the French Market for the Bartender and Waiters Race. After the race, attend the awards ceremony and enjoy live music.
Monday the 13th features the Alliance Française French Cooking Class at the Southern Food & Beverage Museum. This is not a free event, and registration is required. Also on the 13th, Encore Aznavour! will take place right here in our neighborhood at the Mid-City Theater. Featuring the music of the legendary Charles Aznavour, this is an elegant evening you won't want to miss!
The Festivities come to an end on Tuesday the 14th at 10am, as the Council of French Societies lays a ceremonial wreath at the Statue of Jeanne d'Arc at the French Market. A celebratory glass of wine (soda for kids) will be offered by the Council of French Societies.
No matter when you come to New Orleans, you will find unique and fun activites going on!
New Orleans Pride – June 18-21, 2015 28 May 2015, 4:36 pm
New Orleans Pride, one of the fastest growing pride celebrations in the nation, is taking place the third weekend in June this year. So many events make up this festival! Some are family-friendly, others are decidedly adults-only, so keep that in mind as you decide which to attend.
Patrick McDonald brings his one-man show to the Bourbon Pub on Thursday the 18th – be ready to laugh as you hear the travails in Hollywood and the Pacific Crest Trail of Polly Cockit and her Pocketbook, Barbara. After all… what doesn't kill you, only makes you blonder!
The big kick-off party will be held on Friday the 19th at Harrah's Hotel Ballroom. The party runs from 9-11pm. You can have a chance to meet this year's Grand Marshalls, Reed Kelly and Josh Canfield, a.k.a. the "Broadway Boyfriends" and stars of Survivor. Enjoy buffet style foods and a cash bar, and a keynote address by Ryan Sallans. The party celebrates the New Orleans Transgender community and will include a fashion show and entertainment by the Big Easy Buddies: Jersey Buddies.
Also on Friday is the Pride Girl Party at the The Always Lounge. The Girl Party consists of a variety show, followed by a Dance Party. You'll love the drag, burlesque, comedy and so much more!
An All-Faiths Prayer Service on Saturday June 20, 2015 from 10:30am -11:30am kicks off the New Orleans Pride Festival in Washington Park. Following the service is Family Day in the park from 11am – 4pm. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy live music and over 50 vendors of food, drink and crafts. Take a rest after Family Day and come back in the evening for the Pride Parade, which rolls through the Historic French Quarter, starting at 7pm. After the parade, take the kiddies home and jump into the fun at the Pride Dance Party with DJ Blacklow at 10pm at Oz New Orleans.
Pride weekend winds up on Sunday the 21st with the Pride T-Party at The Bourbon Pub and Parade. Doors open at 3pm $10 cover includes Drink and Drown from 6-8PM. You'll probably want to stay over in New Orleans on Monday to recover! Stay with us at 1896 O'Malley House to have a comfortable spot to sleep and enjoy our delicious home-cooked breakfast before you set out to relish the festival!
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 a 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

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!

A pre-conference workshop at the 36th annual EcoFarm Conference in Pacific Grove, CA
Wednesday, January 20, 2016
with Bruno Follador, director of the Living Soils initiative at The Nature Institute
How can we grow resilience to drought and climate change?
How can we create more healthy and vital soils?
Composting is an essential activity of a healthy and self-sustaining farm. Yet increasingly it is an afterthought, or completely missing from our farms and gardens. As we search for solutions to climate change and drought, composting offers a pathway for building vital soils that nurture resilient crops, and fostering healthier carbon cycles.
During this full-day workshop we will deeply engage in the biodynamic approach to the art of composting. We will cover all of the practical and technical details, including sourcing materials, building and turning piles, and working with the biodynamic preparations. We will also explore how we can develop a qualitative understanding of the dynamic processes in the compost pile, and consider the significance of compost in the whole farm organism.
More details will be announced in early October. Online registration opens October 28.
Bruno Follador is the director of The Living Soils Initiative at The Nature Institute in Ghent, NY. He is a Brazilian geographer and biodynamic researcher with a deep commitment to the Goethean approach to science and has been working with biodynamic composting methods and Ehrenfried Pfeiffer's chromatography for several years. He has worked with farmers and organizations in Brazil, Europe and the United States.

Martial arts enthusiasts say the sport does much more than teach self defense.
They say it also builds character.
Amid the hustle and bustle of Lawrenceburg Sidewalk Days on Saturday, members of Lawrenceburg Martial Arts on Woodford Street spent the day building that character by seeking donations to assist those in need this Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Sidewalk Days in Lawrenceburg made its debut last week, featuring live music, grilled food and businesses showcasing their goods in front of their stores.
Business appeared brisk during the three-day event, which returned for the first time in decades and was sponsored by the City of Lawrenceburg and The Anderson News.
As she sat watching Puncheon Creek perform, Jane Ross said she was thrilled to see Sidewalk Days revived.
A weekend filled with music, pageants and food is on tap as the annual Anderson County Burgoo Festival kicks off this week.
The festival is scheduled for Friday through Sunday, highlighted again this year by the annual Burgoo Cook-off, a fundraiser for Shop With a Cop. The cook-off is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday on the Lawrenceburg Green, with trophies going to the top three teams.
The festival kicks off Friday at 5 p.m. with music by R&R, followed by performances by Scott Said & Backroads Band at 7 p.m. and Killin' Time Band at 8 p.m.
Hudson Gregory Alexander was born July 16 at St. Joseph East Hospital.
He is a son of Jason and Jamie Alexander of Lawrenceburg, and joins a brother, Wyatt Alexander, 2.
His grandparents are Greg and Denise Cinnamon of Lawrenceburg, and Bob and Cammie Alexander of Lawrenceburg.
His great-grandparents are Gene and Mary Ruth Cinnamon; Wilma and the late Dale Flygstad; Hazel Smith, the late Robert Smith, and the late John and Milda.
Bailey family plans reunion
The Bailey family will hold a reunion Oct. 4 at 12:30 p.m. at the Franklin County Senior Citizens Activity Center, 202 Medical Heights Drive, Frankfort.
A potluck meal will be shared at 1 p.m., with drinks and paper products provided.
For additional information, call Danny Bailey at 502-875-5182.
Book sale during Burgoo
Friends of the Anderson Public Library is having a "Burgoo Book Sale" book sale Sept. 26.
Revival at First Baptist
First Baptist Church in Lawrenceburg will hold revival services Sept. 27-30, the church announced.
John Franklin, a nationally known speaker in the area of prayer and spiritually healing, will speak.
"His passion is to provide conferencing and resources to arouse God's people to seek him for personal and national revival," according to a news release from the church.
A Lawrenceburg man was charged Monday with trying to procure a minor in a sex offense, according to a news release issued Tuesday by Attorney General Jack Conway.
Bruce Shane Meece, 29, was arrested at his home in Lawrenceburg, according to the news release, and transported to the Franklin County Jail.
Meece is a volunteer at Station 5 of the Anderson County Fire Department, Chief Patrick Krogman has confirmed.
FRANKFORT – Football has changed, but the game is really still the same.
When they met Friday night, Anderson County, with its multiple formations, and Franklin County, owner of one of Kentucky's highest-octane attacks, bore little resemblance to three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust.
But the keys to victory have remained the same from the days of Jim Thorpe to Vince Lombardi to today.
Hang on to the ball. Block and tackle. Do the little things and don't make silly mistakes.
A fire Thursday evening gutted a home on Alton Station Road, leaving a family of nine homeless and the father hospitalized with smoke inhalation.
Homeowner Toby McRoberts arrived home to see his house on fire before rushing inside to alert his son, Toby Jr., 18, to get out, according his wife, Donna McRoberts.
Toby McRoberts was overcome with smoke, but his son managed to escape out of the back of the home.
There was no immediate word on Toby McRoberts' condition. His wife said one of their daughters traveled with him to the hospital.
There was ample warning that Boyle County might be able to put a football-style hurting on Anderson County Friday night.
The Rebels thumped Danville the week before, 42-20. That was the same Danville that defeated Anderson in a pre-season scrimmage but Anderson fans tried to take solace in the fact that scrimmages are far different than games. Teams work on things and try to find what they can and can't do. There are even times when team run a set number of plays regardless of the down situation.

Over the last few days you may have read about how the inmates at New York's Eastern Correctional Facility beat Harvard University's top ranked debate team.
It caught my attention because that is the prison in which I learned to play chess.
Yeah, I let that hang there a minute, but it is absolutely true that when I was around 9 or 10 years old, an inmate named Fat Cal with three life sentences for murder taught me to play chess. My parents took us to visit prisoners from the time I was 8 until the time I was about 17. Later, my mother ended up teaching in prisons.
To be honest, my siblings and I thought it was pretty boring because there wasn't a lot for us to do while our parents talked to the inmates. I can't say the experience made a deep enough impression on us to keep us out of trouble, but it did prepare us for the hassle of current airport security.
I have written about arts in prisons before. In fact, my last post involved the guard union at Eastern Correctional Facility blocking a theater performance at their prison.
After reading the recent articles about how successful the prison debate team was, it occurred to me that prisons are a good venue for arts organizations that seek to make an impact in a receptive community. As the Wall Street Journal article notes, inmates live a life where few distractions are permitted. As a result, they invest a lot of focus in whatever interests them.
In my previous entry, there were people quoted as saying the inmates should be focusing on developing trade and technical skills which will serve them upon their release. However, a Salon piece discussing the success of the inmate's debate team notes,
In an oddly backhanded way, the success of these programs reveals the importance of the humanities—those "useless" subjects such as literature, philosophy, and history–which educate the whole person instead of training a worker. For some inmates, Sax writes, their situation may compel them "to think about things more intensely than most people. A crisis like going to prison can move people to question everything in their lives." As for providing a liberal arts education to inmates, he posits the question: "Are we doing it for the prisoners or for society? Both, but helping the prisoners is a more tangible and immediate goal."
As for the value of this type of education, the Salon article also notes that the in Bard College program which coached and developed the inmate debate team,
Out of 300 men who graduated from Bard's program, fewer than 2 percent returned to custody within three years; and Hudson Link's rates are at 3 percent. Without education, 40 percent of prisoners end up incarcerated again.
Similar statistics are also cited in a Daily Kos piece on the story.
What is really interesting to me is that both time and education were cited as key factors in arts participation by the study I cited in Monday's entry. The researchers in that study hypothesized that highly educated people who were not highly wealthy had higher rates of participation because they had the time to do so, much as the inmates' success is partially attributed to having the time to devote an undivided focus on their arguments.
As a couple of the articles point out, despite lack of wealth remaining a factor for most inmates upon release, an earned education appears to be diminishing recidivism. Even though there is a lot of debate about the costs and value of higher education, providing a good education appears to contribute to the general good of society.
It isn't really appropriate to make facile conclusions about the contributions liberal arts can make to criminal reformation, but clearly it can have an important impact. Nor do I want to make statements about education, rather than wealth or a lack thereof, being a key factor in deterring crime. It is pretty clear wealth and class strongly influence whether you will be incarcerated.
Efforts at introducing arts and education to at-risk communities can certainly also assist in preventing people from ending up in prison. Unfortunately, there are myriad environmental factors which may distract people from achieving the necessary focus that is subsequently forced upon them in prison.
For those who long to make an impact in their community and society, it may be worth considering how well working with inmates might help you achieve your goals.
I am sure there is a lesson in all this about how excellence requires more time and focus than we allow ourselves.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has renamed their H-80 100 MW class, heavy-duty, high-efficiency gas turbine to the H-100, though the design is unchanged. MHPS changed the product name to more accurately reflect the rated capacity class of the prime mover.
The efficient, two-shaft H-100 is sold in a packaged design for quick site construction in simple cycle, combined cycle, cogeneration, or mechanical drive applications.
Siemens has been awarded a service and maintenance contract (in a frame of public procurement law) for the turbo-compressors operating at five stations in Poland, along the Yamal-Europe Transit Gas Pipelines System. The customer is EuRoPol GAZ s.a., a company owned by the Polish PGNiG, Russian Gazprom and Polish Gas-Trading S.A. The service contract includes the survey and inspection of equipment, diagnostic services, supply of spare parts and the implementation of backup devices to achieve high operating reliability.
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (MHPSA) has received an order from Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, for the supply of three M501J gas turbines. Subject to approval of the project by the State Corporation Commission, these turbines are likely to be installed at VEPCO's Greensville County Power Station.
UGI Energy Services LLC has announced plans to double its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production with a new 120,000 gallon per day facility in northeast Pennsylvania that will utilize Marcellus Shale gas.
Elliott Group recently won the order for a coker compression string for the Antipinsky Refinery in Tyumen, Russia. The project is part of the refinery's Phase III expansion to increase capacity and to incorporate EURO-5 standards for diesel fuel. Foster Wheeler is the licensor and design developer for the project.
The Rock Island Arsenal announced a $22.4 million deal with Honeywell recently, to replace its 101-year-old coal-fired central steam plant in Illinois with natural gas boilers throughout the island. The conversion is expected to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Siemens has launched the SPPA-T3000 R7.2, a new release of its power plant control system, which is said to focus even more on the human-machine interface (HMI). New functions and simplified operations are expected to help control room personnel perform their day-to-day work more efficiently and more effectively, and react reliably and quickly in critical situations. The new SPPA-T3000 R7.2 will be part of all of Siemens' new power generation control solutions and can also be integrated or retrofitted to existing control systems.
Dubai Petroleum has awarded RWG (a Siemens and Wood Group company) two maintenance contracts for the overhaul of its Siemens aero-derivative industrial gas generators. The scope of service under these contracts includes major overhauls of Industrial RB211 24 GT and Industrial Avon 1535-200 gas generators, requiring full disassembly, inspection and repair or replacement of unserviceable components.
Capstone Turbine has announced that it recently received 1.4MW of orders from E-Finity Distributed Generation for microturbines. These microturbines are likely to be used for oil and gas operations in the Marcellus and Utica Shale regions. E-Finity Distributed Generation, Capstone's distributor for the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays, has secured multiple orders totaling 1.4MW of electric power.
In its current fiscal year's national budget, Iran has allocated 100 trillion rials (about $3.5 billion) to go into turning gas power plants into combined cycle plants, said Alireza Daemi, deputy minister of energy in planning and economic affairs. The current gas power plants suffer very low performance and by converting them into combined cycle facilities the performance will be improved, he said.

Georgia Arbor Day, which is celebrated each year on the third Friday of February, will be here soon. In honor of Arbor Day, Keep Liberty Beautiful hopes to give out more than 200 trees to be planted in our community this year. To get you thinking about trees and how amazing they are, here are 10 amazing tree facts:
Robert E. Lee, general of all the Confederate forces during the Civil War, was born Jan. 19, 1807. I have been researching Lee's history and have found many fascinating bits of information about him. I shared some of my findings in my column last week and I will do the same now. I have read many articles, books and some letters that Lee and his family wrote to each other. One tiny book - perhaps it should be called a pamphlet - was written by the Rev. William Mack Lee, who served as Gen. Lee's slave, bodyguard and cook during ...
The Special Council on Tax Reform and Fairness took a swing at fixing Georgia's outdated tax system and hit a triple.
It detains almost 200 people at Guantanamo Bay, the facility that Amnesty International calls "a global symbol for injustice and abuse."
The 2011 legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly has officially begun. Although we were forced to take a couple of days off for the snow and ice storm that many across the state experienced, we began session Jan. 10.
Day 3 (Jan. 24): According to our state's constitution, we start our legislative session on the second Monday of every January. The governor gives his State of the State address during the first week and at that time presents his budget proposal to the full legislature.
Be careful what you ask for, because you may get it. That old saying has likely been on the minds, if not the lips, of many members of the Georgia General Assembly since the special tax reform council delivered its recommendations Jan. 7.
Hope for wiser heads and wiser policies springs eternal in Georgia, and one of the few recent encouraging signs has been hearing top state elected leaders sounding like adults when they speak.

I wonder if our intrepid public servants at the Gold Dome understand how arrogant and out-of-touch they look to We the Unwashed - or if they even care.
I usually dance around the topic of children in this column, because I don't have any.
Editor, My colleague, Sen. Bill Heath, possibly said it best. Georgians, he said, are known worldwide for our hospitality and common sense. But when we look at the rising rates of illegal aliens and the staggering financial burden it places on our residents, it is time for our common sense to take precedence over our hospitality.
Editor, This is to the Citizens of Liberty County:
There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Robert E. Lee is remembered by many Southerners as one of the greatest Confederate leaders in the Civil War (1861-65). When thinking of Lee, it's hard not to picture a stately looking man with a white beard sitting on a beautiful gray horse named Traveller. I have been reading a lot lately about Lee from various sources and have found interesting information about the man. I'd like to share some of it with you.
It was one of those pleasant September afternoons when you can feel the heat of summer giving way as the seasons change.
It is, I believe, a distinct and unique trait of the South the way we carry on long conversations with people we are passing in ...

LONDON — Gourmet rock and sea salts are as damaging to your health as regular salt despite on-pack claims that the products are "natural" and "contain minerals," according to research released Nov. 17 from the Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) and Which?. In the research, a public analyst measured the sodium chloride content of several "posh" salts such as gourmet rock and sea salts and table salt. The results showed all the salts contained as much sodium chloride as each other.
Supported by 25 scientific members London-based CASH is a group concerned with salt and its effects on health. Which?, Hertford, United Kingdom, campaigns to protect consumer rights, reviews products and offers advice.
According to a Which? member survey, people who buy rock or sea salt said they do so because they believe those salts are healthier (24%) or more natural (39%) than table salt. Rock and sea salt may cost more than table salt, but 46% of Which? members who buy salt said they think it's worth paying extra for rock and sea salt.
"Many of us are trying to reduce the amount of salt in our diet, but our research shows that people are needlessly spending more money on premium salt as they often believe it's healthier than traditional table salt," said Sue Davies, chief policy adviser for Which?
In regard to minerals from salt, CASH said people may consume all the vitamins and minerals they need from a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. CASH added some gourmet salts have a larger crystal size, which means they might not taste as salty as finer grains. All salt may be considered natural, CASH said and added flavors such as herbs, spices, pepper, lemon and garlic may be used instead of salt on food.

Beyond fracking: Balcombe's renewable future
Joe Nixon / RePowerBalcombe
13th July 2015When fracking came to Balcombe in West Sussex in 2013, it divided village opinion, writes Joe Nixon. But the community is now united in its commitment to locally owned renewable energy, with solar projects on schools and farm buildings, and plans just in for a new 5MW solar farm. more...
Whatever happened to the 'greenest ever' Conservative Party?
Steffen Böhm
11th July 2015Just when the UK's government might want to be boosting its green credentials it has chosen to do the precise opposite, writes Steffen Böhm: giving tax breaks and subsidies to oil and gas, while attacking renewables and energy efficiency. We must unite to oppose these destructive and short-sighted policies more...
Osborne's £3.9bn stealth attack on renewables
Oliver Tickell
9th July 2015The UK government kicked away one of the main financial supports for renewable energy in yesterday's budget. The surprise move will cost the sector £3.9 billion over the next five years and undermines any prospect of the country meeting its EU renewable energy targets. more...
Safe, low carbon, inexpensive: the renewable alternatives to fracking
Keith Barnham
8th July 2015In its haste to get fracking, the UK Government is neglecting safe, clean alternatives that could be providing low-carbon gas and heat energy, writes Keith Barnham. The technologies are already well established in other European countries and are picking up fast here too - so why the insistence that only fossil fuels can deliver the UK's energy needs? more...
Austria files Hinkley Point C legal challenge in European Court
Oliver Tickell
6th July 2015Austria today filed its legal challenge to the UK's €108 billion support package for the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant, writes Oliver Tickell. A second such challenge at the European Court is due from green energy suppliers in Germany and Austria who fear unfair competition from subsidised nuclear power in Poland, Czech and Hungary if the Hinkley C precedent stands. more...

Alex Kirby
5th July 2015The secretary general of the OECD group of the world's 34 richest nations has issued a dramatic plea to its members to act now to end 'unabated coal' burning, writes Alex Kirby, and invest in renewables around the world to prevent climate disaster. more...
Greece's anti-solar, coal-based energy policies underlie its economic collapse
Takis Grigoriou / Greenpeace EnergyDesk
3rd July 2015As Greece prepares for its referendum, Takis Grigoriou takes Greece to task for its highly polluting lignite power sector, its ditching of a successful solar program in favour of more coal, the minimal insulation in its buildings that locks in high fuel bills, and Syriza's failure to tackle these issues. The good news? Greece's latest €1.4bn coal project looks like going unfunded. more...
China's climate pledge for green growth spells doom for coal exporters
John Mathews
3rd July 2015Renewable energy is all go in China, as set out in its climate pledge this week, writes John Mathews, with huge growth planned for wind and solar. The one big loser - coal exporters who can expect falling sales volumes in coming years. Wake up Australia! more...

Adam Vaughan & Rowena Mason / Guardian Environment

Coal closures give South Australia the chance to go 100% renewable
Mark Diesendorf
18th July 2015Moving to 100% clean, renewable energy is a win-win option for South Australia, writes Mark Diesendorf. First of all it's highly doable over a 25-year transition period. It will also bring lower power prices, more employment, better health and a cleaner environment. What's not to like? more...

NASA's warning - SpaceX crash highlights dangers of nuclear power in space
Karl Grossman
2nd July 2015Sunday's SpaceX crash sends a powerful warning of the dangers of nuclear power on spacecraft, writes Karl Grossman. But will NASA listen?

Will the Hinkley C fiasco rouse Labour from its nuclear dream?
Dr Ian Fairlie
30th June 2015Will Labour turn against nuclear power? As Chancellor, Ed Balls would have cancelled Hinkley C due to its massive cost, writes Ian Fairlie. But he never got the chance, and now the party remains muted even though the Government's nuclear enthusiasm is completely out of kilter with reality. To end nuclear's grip on Labour there's only one choice of leader: Jeremy Corbyn. more...

All at sea? Government's strong talk on offshore wind masks feeble ambition
Ian Broadbent & Peter Strachan
26th June 2015Following premature cutbacks to onshore wind farms the UK's energy security will increasingly depend on large scale offshore wind power, write Ian Broadbent & Peter Strachan. But while energy secretary Amber Rudd talked the sector up in her speech yesterday, she revealed feeble ambition, and said nothing to overcome investors' fears of being left out in the cold. more...
The Tories' energy obsessions will leave us all the poorer
Peter Strachan & Alex Russell
24th June 2015The Government's reckless pursuit of fracking and nuclear power, combined with its irrational hatred of renewables, onshore wind in particular, is taking the UK down a dangerous energy cul-de-sac, write Peter Strachan & Alex Russell. A redical rethink is due, or we'll be stuck with soaring fuel bills for years to come. more...

Civil servants must speak out: 'the time has gone for nuclear power'
Paul Flynn MP
18th June 2015Despite the PR spin the truth about nuclear power is clear, says Paul Flynn. Current projects are plagued with technical failures, cost escalations and long delays - while renewables power ahead. As tin-eared ministers refuse to get the message, it's time for civil servants to speak out direct to the public. more...
Could one million smart pool pumps 'store' renewable energy better than giant batteries?
Sean Meyn
28th July 2015Batteries may have a big role in balancing future power grids, writes Sean Meyn, enabling more wind and solar generation. But until we go beyond 50% renewables, we don't need them. Instead we can adjust the demand of power hungry appliances to what's available every moment of the day. more...
Government reduced to lies, misinformation and bullying to spin fast-track fracking
Paul Mobbs
15th June 2015The Government is struggling to spin its policy to fast track fracking, writes Paul Mobbs. So as it cuts the public out of the regulatory process, exempts exploratory wells from controls, and forces the Environment Agency to issue permits with 1-2 weeks, its spin machine has resorted to outright lies and misinformation to conceal the scale of the attack on our environmental rights. more...
To stop using fossil fuels any time soon, Japan must follow Germany's lead
Peter Matanle, University of Sheffield
15th June 2015Japan and Germany have much in common: both are major industrial countries that have gone nuclear-free, writes Peter Matanle - Germany by choice, Japan by necessity. But while Germany is actively pursuing its renewable energy revolution, or Energiewende, Japan, possessed of the richest renewable energy resources in East Asia, is stuck in a fossil fuel pit. more...
World must wake up to China's energy revolution
Kieran Cooke
15th June 2015China's success in driving down its fossil fuel burn will raise chances of a success at this year's Paris climate talks, writes Kieran Cooke - but first the world must appreciate the changes China is making, and how clean energy is catalysing a broader economic transformation. more...

For all of you on high horses :)
Baby's don't know the difference and the rest of our home is decorated with some contemporary pieces... some a little creepy, some totally not.. Why would it be any different. If you raise your child the right way and teach them how to act it shouldn't matter what kind of art you have in your home. My SO treats me like a queen and the way he treats me will rub off on our son. My son will NOT be playing violet video games and will be taught to respect people and animals, he'll be smothered in love, he'll be taught appropriate gun safety at the appropriate age, he'll face severe repercussions for any type of bullying. etc. etc. We are extremely responsible people.
Oh yes, we're so gangster over here.. A lawyer and a Westpoint graduate.. determined to raise a violent child lol GMAFB
anyway, we like the pieces we've chosen so whatevs. I just wanted to share it like everyone else shares on here. Did I know many would be offended? Ya, ofc but so what.
Congrats, you're cool.
Miranda&Hubert 7.10.10 Avery Quinn 10.7.10 Hagen Brett 4.9.12 Lincoln Daniel 11.25.13
hell yea I'm offended if you fuck your kid up... your kid might end up going to the same school as my kid and we can see what kind of fuckery goes on at schools with kids and guns. Just as recently as two days ago a 12yo shot 2 people at a middle school.
hell yea I'm offended.
"She and your mom seem as delightful a combo as jeggings and a yeast infection." - castironskillet
I just don't think you wanted to share this, because you said in the post that you were trying to stir up some drama pretty much.
IDGAF what you put in your baby room, but I am having a bad day and really bored, so thank you for this post.
