I am both sad and angry today. As most of you have probably read and seen, there have been "at least" two more murders of Black males at the hands of law enforcement. As result of that and the feeling of hopelessness and unfulfilled justice, vigilantes then struck in Dallas, killing at least five law enforcement officers at a protest rally. I have said this for many years, if the mistreatment, harassment and unjustified killings of people of color continued – a new civil war would erupt or as wifey recently stated – more like a revolution would commence. Now, I know a lot of police officers, my dear brother being one, and I can understand their stresses; I can even see how some of these things happen in certain cases and how the general population wrongly jump to conclusions right away, but real talk, I am done! I don't want to hear any more excuses as to why this keeps happening. This has been happening much too often to ignore or brush off as just training issues. Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. That's nuts. Only 10 of the 102 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime, and only 2 of these deaths (Matthew Ajibade and Eric Harris) resulted in convictions of officers involved. Only 1 of 2 officers convicted for their involvement in Matthew Ajibade's death received jail time. He was sentenced to 1 year in jail and allowed to serve this time exclusively on weekends. WTF?!?!? The post reported that "Unarmed black men are seven times more likely than whites to die by police gunfire." Now why in the hell is that? Really? Is it that we are more menacing looking? Intimidating? One of the killings was a 12 y/o black male youth in Ohio who was playing w/a toy gun in the park w/his 14 y/o sister. A cop pulls up & begins shooting! Kills the boy dead – no questions asked. I get shivers thinking of that. Shivers of anger and confusion. How bout Mr. Walter Scott in Charleston, SC, shot in the back as he ran away and then seeing as the cop tried to plant a gun near him. What also angered me with this one was seeing a black female cop arrive on the scene and do absolutely nothing, but stand guard of the dead man! And now these two latest murders – cause let's face it, they are murders – of Alton Sterling and the incomprehensible murder of Philando Castile in Minneapolis after being stopped for a broken taillight with his girlfriend and her 4 y/o daughter in the car – even after he told the cop he had a gun on him in which he was licensed to carry. The cop asked for his license and registration then shot him as he went to get it! Did I mention there was a 4 y/o child in the car!!! Shooting with a child present?? Mr. Castile had his seatbelt on the whole time, thus restricting his movement somewhat. Where you that afraid Mr. Officer that you not only murder an innocent man, but put a 4 y/o child in harms way?? These are just some we know about because they made national news. In 2015, an unarmed mentally ill man in Texas was killed while holding a fucking soup spoon! As a person of color who grew up in a rough environment during the drug craze of the 80's, this shit hits home. There were several times in my youth where this easily could have been me. Some of you reading this know quite well the hell I am talking bout. I have been accosted, detained, pushed & even "pulled on" twice for no reason other then for "looking the part" or having the audacity to question their actions. I sighed as I wrote that, a tear nearly dropping, as I remember those times and continue to believe it was my brother blood who was looking out for me from above. Let's analyze this for a minute. Is it the lyrics to our songs that get them nervous or afraid? Is it how we dress, walk, talk or carry ourselves. They root for our athletes, our entertainers and visit our doctors, but they shoot our children dead in the street. I plead with all our youth, please check yourselves. Give them no reason – even tho recently that doesn't seem to matter. When you get stopped, and I DO MEAN WHEN NOT IF, you get stopped, chill and do what is requested; answer politely while holding in your frustrations. Take the ego loss – it's a situation you/we can not win. Never reach for anything & always keep you hands visible. Pull up your damn pants and button your shirts. Stop all this colors shit, talking shit bout what you gonna do or not do….real gangsters move in silence anyway. Respect yourselves and your fellow brothers….don't you see what can happen? What risk you put us all in?? You get pulled over, shut your mouth & just follow instructions. What's the point of flexing? Now I am not saying its anyone's fault. Shit these law enforcement entities need to better train their officers, realize they are scared, prejudiced, bigots or incapable of "protecting and serving" us. I know some cops who have no business being on the job! Down-low criminals – for real. To all you brothers who are in law enforcement – DO SOMETHING DAMN IT!! No way you guys can not see what the fuck is happening & not feel some kind of way. I could have gone into law enforcement – had several opportunities – but was turned off by the arrogance and bullshit I saw. God knows what he does for sure, cause God knows I would have not stood for this shit in my house. I would have been a Serpico (look it up) type and probably would have had some major issues with some of these bastards. How could any of you just stand there and allow this to keep happening to your fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and friends. Yes it seems no one of color is immune. Right now it's hard for me to look at some of these dudes and not feel angry; not question them in my mind as I walk by – what type of cop are you?? I do not like that feeling. I thought I left those thoughts alone years ago. Yet here we go, 2016, and has there really been much change?? And where the hell are all the big time athletes & entertainers?? Where is our generations Jim Brown, Kareem Abdul Jabbar & Mohammed Ali?? Some make little comments, some may wear a T-shirt, but where is the outreach? The boycotts? The real dialogue that can help bring change & awareness??? Instead you rather maximize your advertising dollars and not make any waves. Well in the immortal words of Tupac Shakur – "Fuck All Y'all!" Stand the fuck up and be accounted for. For whatever reason, God has blessed all of you with some power – power of $$, power of a fan based, power from your skill sets – something – use it then! Use it to help those that need it right about now. I don't want to hear people like Jordan, Barkley or Woods say it's not their jobs to be role models or to get involved. Yes the fuck it is!! You are in the spotlight, for whatever reason people listen to ya'll and care bout what you have to say – for whatever dumb reason, so use it man. Be a man, a black man at that, and lend a hand. Shit, maybe one day it will be one of your own laying in the street.

2006 Jeep Wrangler - Lively Melting PotPosted in Features on May 1, 2013
Some Jeeps just have that look, even if they are sitting still. You know, that look that makes you want to know more about them. How it came together, how it works, what is was built for, and so forth. Well, when we saw a photo of Lew Lively's Jeep for the first time, we just had to know more.
Built primarily by Moab 4x4 Outpost (M4O) for the Florida resident to keep in Moab most of the year, we knew it would have a lot of trick and near one-off parts on it. We say near one-off because while M4O has been making a bunch of these parts and using these tricks for a long time, the company isn't quite ready to go from Jeep building to parts manufacturing.
We got the original email with the pictures and the spec sheet about two months after Easter Jeep Safari, and we weren't planning any other trips back to Moab in 2012. And, we aren't just going to run a feature on someone's say-so, so it was with some misgiving that we had to beg off running the Jeep in our pages.
Then Trasborg cobbled together his road trip of the Midwest, contacted M4O to see if the Jeep was still around, and managed to get some time with it. We were able to see firsthand that it performs as bad-ass as it looks, and we are happy to be able to show you some of the cool build tricks in our pages.
A good plan from the beginning
This Jeep was built after Lew rolled his old TJ. He wanted something that could hang with the buggies but was still a Jeep. The '06 Wrangler frame was the base of that build and is largely intact from the front of the Jeep to the rear of the door openings. Well, largely intact, aside from the 3-inch stretch in front of the boatside rockers that contributes to the 107-inch wheelbase. Aft of the door openings, the factory frame was more of a problem than a solution, so it was tossed in favor of some custom tube work. The belly skid is nothing short of epic, covering from the rear of the T-case, the transmission, and the engine oil pan, all tied into either the frame or the rollcage for the ultimate in bashability. Up front a PSC ram is pushed around by a PSC pump and steering box, and a Warn Powerplant winch is protected by the intricate tube work—but more on that later.
The suspension hanging off that frame is an M4O M1-LT 4-inch-lift long-arm suspension with fully boxed control arms. At each corner you will find a Fox 2.0 coilover providing damping with Eibach springs providing the elevation. Out back, a Currie Enterprises Antirock sway bar teams with a front air-actuated ORO SwayLoc to control the body roll and sidehill stability. The front suspension resembles a TJ's setup in as much as it features four control arms and a track bar. The similarities end there. Out back, a dual-triangulated four-link locates the rear axle with the addition of unique high-clearance lower control arms.
What red-blooded male American doesn't want a V-8 powered Corvette? The problem is most of us are way too deep into our Jeeps to be able to enjoy a Vette as well. Well, with a 6.0L V-8 out of an '05 LS2 Vette, Lew has the best of both worlds. The internals of the engine were left alone for reliability but it was capped with a K&N air filter and a custom M4O-built 21⁄2 into 3-inch exhaust routed all the way to the back of the Jeep. Turn Key Powertrain fuel line adapters team up with a Mallory fuel pressure regulator and a remote oil filter adapter to get the 400hp/400lb-ft beast of a mill between the framerails. A Ford Taurus electric fan pulls the air through an aluminum radiator to keep things cool.
Backing that red-meat-eating engine is the relatively mundane '86 TH700R4 rowed by an Art Carr gated shifter. We say mundane because the shift points, ratios, and torque converter were all left alone. But what isn't mundane is the cool (no pun intended) cooler. Rather than an air-to-water cooler, this slushbox is cooled by a Ron Davis Racing water-to-water intercooler mounted under the hood to one of the tubes of the 'cage. Water-to-water is more efficient than air-to-water and does a much better job of keeping the transmission cool than even a physically larger air-to-water, and there is no thought needed as to airflow.
From there, an Advance Adapters package mates the TH700R4 to the 4.3:1 Atlas II T-case and it feeds front and rear Dynatrac ProRock Dana 60s through 1350-jointed drivelines. With both front and rear axles stuffed with 4.88 gears and ARB Air Lockers they are near twins. The matching front and rear brakes, sourced from a 1⁄2-ton-rated GMC pickup, don't dispel the twin motif either. The power to bring this whole schebang to a stop is thanks to a '76 Cadillac Eldorado master cylinder, and that is smacked around by a hydroboost booster. And this Jeep needs it, too, with those big and heavy 40-inch Trepadors on Walker Evans wheels to bring to a halt.
Body and Interior
Let's start this section off by talking about the obvious elephant in the room: that chrome-looking tub. It isn't the color that we really like, but the fact that it is an Aqualu aluminum tub means it will likely outlast most of the rest of this Jeep, and we are all about that. The tailgate doubles as tool and fluids storage, with an extra toolbox between there and the Summit Racing fuel cell mounted behind the front seats. Meanwhile the hood is a 4 Wheelers Supply Rock Crawler high-clearance hood, and you'll find a YJ grille up front rounding off the Jeep look. The rockers of the aluminum tub aren't quite what they once were with a custom M4O boatside rocker conversion performed to raise the under-door ground clearance
We had a hard time keeping the rollcage in this section like we normally would. From the tubed-out rear frame section tied right into the 'cage, to the rear shock mounts, to the integral suspension and body mounts up front, the 'cage is as much an exterior or chassis feature as interior. But that said, the Corbeau Baja JP seats are mounted to it, and the 0.134-wall, 1.75-inch-diameter tube makes up most of the interior, so here it is. Other interior amenities include a quasi-custom M4O dashboard stuffed with a marine Sony head unit, AutoMeter Ultra Lite 2 gauges, and a bevy of waterproof Carlington switches.
A Grant steering wheel tops off the tilt column while a Flex-A-Lite Mojave heater resides under the dash next to a sPOD electric control box that puts relays and fuses in one convenient location. The rear upper shock mounts should be mentioned in the chassis section as well, but the most interesting part of the through-tub sandwich-mount is the part welded to the 'cage just behind the rear seats. Next to the passenger's seat a spare driveshaft can be found, and between the two front seats is an M4O-built center console that holds a Currie Enterprises EZ Tire Deflator and whatever else Lew brings along. Just behind the center console you can see the JL Audio 10-inch subwoofer in the M4O box. What you can't see is that the sub is bracketed by a pair of 6x9s, one on either side.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
Let's start with the bad news, like many just-finished Jeeps there were still some bugs to work out. In fact, these photos were taken in Colorado during our second photo shoot due to some fuel delivery problems during the first. Beyond teething issues, we end up nitpicking. We aren't a big fan of the bent drag link. It is heavy-wall and has a heavy Mohawk through it, and we understand the reasons behind it, but we still don't endorse bent steering linkages. We also wonder if the Warn Powerplant couldn't have been sunk into the frame more, as it blocks a lot of the radiator. The good on this Jeep is easy: It is well thought out and well executed. Unlike so many Jeeps we see, and even our own Jeeps, this wasn't the product of years of trial and error. There was a good plan from the beginning, which was well carried out and resulted in a Jeep that works very well.
Hard Facts
Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Wrangler
Engine: 6.0L Chevy V-8
Transmission: TH700R4
Transfer Case: 4.3:1 Atlas II
Suspension: five-link (front); four-link (rear)
Axles: Dynatrac ProRock 60 (front and rear)
Wheels: 17x9 Walker Evans beadlock
Tires: 40x13.50R17 Maxxis Trepador
Built For: Buggy-like performance in a Jeep-like package
Why I Wrote This Feature
It is really rare to see a Jeep that looks good, performs even better, and doesn't have a ton of extraneous stuff bolted onto it. Sure, this thing has a heater and a stereo, but they were both planned into the build, fit very well, and make the wheeling experience that much nicer. The Jeep is basically point-and-shoot and might even be a little overbuilt for most of the trails in Moab, Utah. But with a Corvette V-8, an aluminum body that will never rust, and a great rollcage that doubles as suspension mounts, what isn't to like? Plus, it's got a YJ grille, and that just isn't something you see much of anymore.

AC Milan ready to HIJACK Arsenal's deal for Real Madrid star Sami Khedira
AC MILAN will attempt to hijack Arsenal's deal for Real Madrid midfield star Sami Khedira.
The Germany World Cup winner, according to reports in Spain, has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal over a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
But Arsenal are yet to agree a fee with Madrid for Khedira, who has entered the final year of his contract at the Bernabeu.
Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to avoid losing the 27-year-old for absolutely nothing in nine months time and is prepared to do business in the winter transfer window.
It is understood Khedira is hopeful Arsenal and Madrid will be able to negotiate a package that will allow him to complete a switch to join Arsene Wenger & co in north London in January.
But if the Gunners fail to do so, it could leave the door open for Milan to swoop.
Italian media outlet Tuttosport have claimed Milan will make a last-ditch bid in an attempt to lure Khedira to the San Siro.
Milan boss Filippo Inzaghi is thought to keen on adding the former Stuttgart enforcer to his midfield ranks as he attempts to guide his side back into the Champions League after a disastrous eighth-place finish last season.

In January 1995, CIA Group bought a 21% stake in Germany's second largest media independent, Mediahaus Strobel. U.K.-based CIA Group is now increasing its stake by 24% for a total of 45%. In addition to shares, CIA Group is paying $2.1 million for the new stake.
Beginning in 1994, Mediahaus Strobel began building a network of media independents outside Germany under the name Media Quality International (MQI). It was the first media independent set up specifically to service international accounts out of Germany. MQI handles media billings of $740 million, of which the German market accounts for $580 million. Although the MQI offices mostly handle national accounts, the East European network already has two international clients--Shell and Chiquita bananas. Mediahaus Strobel also operated foreign offices under names other than MQI.
Following the CIA move this week, both Mediahaus Strobel in Germany and the MQI agencies will eventually be rebranded MQI Mediahaus. Jurgen Strobel,chairman of Mediahaus Strobel, now owns 55% of the company he founded in the early 1990s. CIA has option to increase its stake in Mediahaus Strobel to 100% between 2001 and 2005.
Mr. Strobel will be in charge of the German operations, while Hans Kratz, who came to MQI last year from Henkel, where he was media manager, will oversee MQI's international business.
Separately in 1994, the CIA Group bought a 67% stake in a joint venture with Mediahaus Strobel called CIA Medianetwork Deutschland in Duesseldorf. This week, CIA has bought the remaining shares in that German operation for $820,000.

Ave Maria! OK, where to begin? Having noticed that there are few books written about St. Louis-Marie de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, for the past several years I have been collecting and translating excellent works which explain this devotion, the 'why' of it, how to prepare for it, and how to live it. I am very interested in promoting devotion to Mary throughout the world. I have also gone through the entire Opera Omnia of St. Robert Bellarmine, and have translated all of his Marian writings. Since you are an apologist, author, and promote devotion to Mary, I think you would like The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine very much.

July 26th Town Hall Meeting Recap
Leading up to the Annual Membership meeting, The Cobb EMC Board held a Town Hall meeting on July 26 of this year. Starting off the meeting was a presentation by Board Chairman Ed Crowell with input also being provided by several Board members. The floor was then opened to Member questions and several well reasoned and pertinent questions were raised. Some key takeaways from the Town Hall meeting for me were:
- The Board was working on a bylaw re-write to be presented for vote at the upcoming annual meeting to include provisions for open board meetings, term limits, and mail in voting,
- Work was forging ahead on the Request for Proposals (RFP) for capacity and energy and in excess of 70 viable bids have been received. Economics appear very favorable and justify the recent decision by our new Board of Directors to withdraw from the expensive boondoggle known as Plant Washington (aka Power4Georgians),
- Cobb EMC expects that the aforementioned RFP will enable it to cut its ties to Energy Consulting Group (ECG), as well as Cooperative Energy Incorporated (CEI) who are currently providing Cobb EMC with Energy Management Services on a "no bid" basis, and
- Cobb EMC is cutting its formerly expensive and questionable relationship with J. W. Rayder and allowing his contract reimbursing him up to $30,000/month to expire.
The overall tone of the meeting was open and congenial and yours truly was very encouraged that the new Board of Directors has made real progress in their inaugural year. The Town Hall meeting itself was an excellent example of our new Board of Directors reaching out to the Membership.
Re-write of the Bylaws and EMC Member Amendments – Vote Yes
The Town Hall meeting notwithstanding, there are several things that are unsettling. The board has performed what is essentially a complete re-write of the bylaws. The schedule upon which they have undertaken this has left no room for a Member comment period, so we are left with the choice of an up or down vote on the complete package on September 15th. The bylaws have only been recently made available so there has really been little time for anyone to review the content in detail. My read of the new bylaws is that we should vote for them primarily because of the mail-in voting and open meeting provisions. However, as I stated above, one of your fellow EMC members, Paul Chellis, has submitted two additional amendments to the bylaws that I strongly urge everyone to vote for.
Other Concerns
The last several years saw significant erosion of our rights to participate in decisions made at our Member owned EMC. The new Board of Directors that we fought so hard to elect has made real progress to restore some of those rights, but still they need to remember why they were elected. Bylaw re-writes, even with some good enhancements, should have significant opportunity for Member participation and comment and this has definitely not occurred. While I am recommending that we approve the new bylaws, the new bylaws do have several flaws that will need to be addressed over time (and these have only been identified with a very short review time; I am not aware of any Member that has been able to make a detailed comparison to the previous bylaws in the time we have had thus far). For one, the open meetings provision is very watered down when compared to the one approved at the Pedernales Electric Cooperative in Texas after they went through a series of problems very similar to our own. In a story that will sound familiar to Cobb EMC Members, Pedernales General Manager Bennie Fuelberg was convicted of third- degree felony theft of co-op funds, money laundering and misappropriation of fiduciary

A bit of advice, if you hear any form of the words "I'm not a doctor, but…." come out of someone's mouth just turn around and walk away. Better yet…run! I think we all have a friend or family member who believes their personal experiences with illness or medication has awarded them a medical degree (or at least the knowledge to dole out medical advice), but for goodness sakes ignore it or at the very least confirm the information with an ACTUAL physician! Who prompted this little rant? Piers Morgan, Dr. Oz, and Dwight Yoakam that's who. Seems like an odd combination of people so let me take a step back and explain.
On a recent episode of CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, Morgan received his "first ever flu shot;" live on-air, from Dr. Mehmet Oz. Sounds great right? Dr. Oz even had some notable words of wisdom for viewers explaining that the flu shot is "one of those smart things" and that vaccination is "beneficial with very low side effects. We've got 130 million of these little vials out there to help people with. Let's take advantage of it." While prepping for his vaccine, Morgan asked a question that many people are concerned about. He asked Dr. Oz to clarify the all too common belief that flu vaccination can actually cause the very illness it aims to prevent. Dr. Oz clearly explained, "You cannot get the flu from the flu shot because the material is actually dead virus." Morgan and Dr. Oz then both reiterated that the notion of the flu actually causing illness is nothing more than a myth.
Great message and factual information aimed at helping prevent the spread of a vaccine-preventable disease. So what's the problem? An issue arose when Morgan fell ill with flu-like symptoms ten days after receiving his vaccine. Shortly after, singer Dwight Yoakam was the featured guest on Morgan's show. Almost immediately the two began discussing the host's illness and even attributing it to his vaccination just days prior to its onset. Things went from bad to worse when Morgan asked Yoakam what he should do about his sore throat. The advice: "Don't ever take a flu shot again." Unfortunately, Morgan apparently believes the myth (which has been dispelled by everyone from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)). He replied by saying "We're both doing the math, so I mean, we both saw him put that thing in my arm and within 10 days I'm struck down." Yoakam's retort: "I'm not a medical advisor. Get your vaccines if you…I don't believe in them." Sounds like solid medical advice from a competent reliable medical professional, right?
What started out as a fantastic public platform to promote the safety, efficacy, and overall importance of vaccination against the flu quickly spiraled into the very misinformation it was intended to dispel. Before making any medical decisions or taking any solicited (or unsolicited) advice relating to your health and safety talk to a doctor who can provide you with scientifically proven information. It's important to stick to what you know. Maybe next time Dwight will focus on his music and Piers will provide commentary on issues he actually knows something about instead of contributing to misinformation that can be potentially fatal for those left unprotected. Talk to your doctor today if you have concerns about any vaccination and remember it's never too late to protect yourself from the flu!

Sports & Recreation Soccer is brazils most played sport. People love futebol, the Portuguese word for soccer. There are many soccer stadiums all over the country. The worlds largest soccer stadium the maracana, located in Rio de Janeiro and seats 200,00 fans. Usually when a boy is born his first gift would be a soccer ball because their parents would want them to be soccer players when they grow up. Did you know that the greatest soccer player who ever lived is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, also known as Pele, he played for Brazil. He scored more than 1200 goals. Pele scored his 1,000th goal in 1969. The wonderful soccer player retired in 1974 but came back in 1975 after accepting a 7-million-dollar contract for three years with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. He said he came out of retirement, not the money, but to make soccer popular in the United States.
Pele became a Brazilian hero and was also known as Perola Negra (Black Pearl).
An average-sized man, he was special because of speed, great balance, great vision, the ability to control the ball well, and the ability to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot. In his career he played in 1,363 matches and scored 1,282 goals. His best season was 1958, when he scored 139 times. Also he published several best-selling autobiographies. He starred in several documentary and semi documentary films. He wrote many musical pieces, including the entire sound track for the film 'Pele' (1977). He was awarded the International Peace Award, and in 1980 he was named athlete of the century.
A sport only Brazilians play is capoeira. This sport uses martial arts and dancing.the caporeia comes from a fighting way that came from Anogla in the slave days there were ofen fights among the blacks. Both sides were punished if caught. Then the slaves would disguise their fighting by using music and song . over the years it became a very athletic sport where two players would do seires of cartwheels and whirling hand stands on the floor. Each one would try to double the others move using only legs, feet, heels the head. Hands are not allowed.
Car racing and beach sports are also very popular because of the weather. Brazil has some of the best volleyball teams, basket ball teams, surfing and canoeing are also impotant sports to Brazil.
Some recreational activities in Rio are going to sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. The southern part of the city is used alot by people that live there and tourists. Tijuca National Park and the Serra da Carioca range are both outside of Rio. It has parts of the tropical rain forest that used to cover the entire area. Parks provide a lot of opportunities of recreational activities, including hiking, climbing, hang gliding, jogging, soccer, walking, and cycling. Maracana Stadium, which holds more than 100,000 seats for soccer games, is located just outside Quinta da Boa Vista Park. Tourists come each year to Carnivals. The festival is held in February or March. During the weeks of the Carnival, the city gets thousands of tourists. Events are street dancing, behind popular bands, marching bands using brass and drums, formal Carnival balls for every person, and many days of "Sambadrome"ÃÂ. A Sambadrome is a parade where the best schools compete in a marathon musical and dance competition along a certain street where thousands of people gather to watch the event.
I think Brazil has a lot of fun and popular activities because it is such a big country and has a lot of great and talented teams. I enjoyed listening to the soccer part of Brazil because I play soccer myself.

Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins, who often ambushes liberals for host Bill O'Reilly, appeared at CPAC this weekend to help cover the event for his network. When ThinkProgress found him, he was casually chatting with a gaggle of students about working at Fox News, and about conservatism in general. Asked about Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's ownership stake in News Corp — the parent company of Fox News — Jenkins dodged the question. Then, before ThinkProgress could continue the interview, Jenkins said any request for an interview had to be scheduled beforehand by his media relations personnel in New York:
JENKINS: I'm just covering CPAC for Greta, but listen, call the media relations people, we can do something about my coverage here, other than that, ask the media relations people.
TP: Do you ever extend that courtesy to the people you interview?
JEKINS: I gotta go buddy. […]
TP: I'm just asking, when you ambush people, do you ever do that? […]
JENKINS: I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I'm working here.
TP: Yeah, but sometimes when you ambush people, they're working too.
Watch it:
Jenkins proceeded to hide behind a phalanx of conservative volunteers for CPAC, and later returned to milling around with CPAC attendees. He is hypocritical for saying he shouldn't be interviewed while at work. Over the course of his career, he has ambushed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) while Grayson was at work, ambushed former Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) outside of him home, and Columbia professor Alan Brinkley on his way to work — all without scheduling an interview beforehand. Indeed, even Jenkin's fellow ambusher at Fox News, Jesse Watters, stalked and harassed ThinkProgress editor Amanda Terkel while she was on vacation, without ever asking for an interview.

There are no more days left...just hours. Hours until I zip up my (currently not packed) suitcases, hours until I leave the only home I've ever known and hours until I embark on the newest chapter of my life. It took fifteen years of dreaming and eighteen months of preparation, but it's here. I'm moving to England.
If you ask me how I'm feeling you will get a few different answers. Of course, I'm thrilled. This is the biggest dream I've ever had and it is going to be the most wonderful few years of my life. At the same time, I have had a horrible time saying goodbye to my friends and family. They are everything to me and I am choosing to do this all on my own. My final feeling is nerves. I am so nervous to be taking such a huge leap into an unknown world, but I know God has gone ahead of me and has it all planned out. That has proved true every step of the way. Still, one can't help but be nervous about all of the responsibilities and decisions I will now be making. It is a leap of faith, but one I am making with a huge smile on my face.
Tonight my house already feels different as my sister and the boy have already moved to their new home. So, I am missing the noise of a little one and the comfort of my best friend sitting across from me. Still, I will miss the sounds of my mom working in the kitchen and the conversations our family has during dinner. It was always those small moments that meant the most to me. This house has been my safe place, my healing place and the place where I was allowed to grow, discover and learn exactly who I am. I know that it will remain just that, forever: a place where I can return when I need healing or rest. No matter where I live, this will be home.
I hope that this chapter is one of adventure, of discovery and of happiness. I want to be challenged, to take chances and to live out every possible dream I have. I was given such a blessed life and there is no way I am going to waste a second of it.
Everything is done and in place, the prayers are being said, the hugs have been given...
the only thing left to do is fly.

1781st Ordnance S&M (Aviation)
were several support Companies of specialist units on our fields.
Collectively, they were referred to as the Sub-Depot.
When an aircraft was ready to have something done to it that the
aircraft's Crew Chief's crew did not do; he or the Line Chief would
contact the Sub-depot to get the required specialist crew to come
to the aircraft to do the job.
When battle damage was excessive, the aircraft was towed to the Sub-depot
area of the field where it was worked on until it was ready to fly again.
One Company was a Chemical Bomb Company. At Viillaroche AF in
France, they kept their stockpile of Chemical Bombs in the 668 BS area.
The commander was Captain Sheehan, a New York State man who we
got to know well.
(Back in WW ONE the Germans used chemical gas on
American troops
and caused a lot of serious casualties. If the Germans were to use Chemicals
in WW TWO, Captain Sheehan's Company was ready to load our airplanes up with their
Chemical Bombs and we would retaliate. Fortunately for the Germans we
never had to get the order to drop the Chemical Bombs.)

after 'Das Lied des Zwerges' (The song of the dwarf), Rainer Maria Rilke
Crooked blood, stunted hands, cripple,
out of place – uncanny how small
thoughts can be, while I'm incomparable,
only a dwarf because the so-called average
person is taller. You ought
to just walk on by, but don't. Ever thought
how inflated you must look from this
height? When I walk or shop, I'm inspiring,
it seems. Fantastic to see you getting
out, you say, imagining waking
up in my body, the courage
you'd need not to kill yourself, stat.
How do you do live with that?
That's me wondering back,
distractedly eating (wow!) a sandwich.
In my home, I've made it so I come
face to face with the cupboards and oven, belonging
as we all want it. I sleep in my bed (some-
times alone). At work, my cubicle's longer
and wider than yours. True,
this isn't much of a song –
but then it never was meant for you.
Andy Jackson
Song not for you

With the painting of the master bedroom to a light greige, I wanted to change the existing bedding to something lighter and fresh. I had my eye on a duvet set on Target. I stalked it for a while until one day, it was marked down. I grabbed it and hoped it was everything I thought it would be.
It's a gray and cream duvet cover with a subtle medallion pattern. I paired it with some blue sheets for more color. I think the colors go perfect with the walls. It also seems to open the room up more.
I like how the dark woods play against the light walls and bedding.
I still need to hem the curtains since they're dragging the ground and thought about stenciling them. I like the simple white but maybe some blue there would give some more depth to the windows. I want to also add some patterned accent pillows. Still lots more work to do here but looking better than where we were months ago.

Located in the Blood Orchard
original Country Store
that dates back to the early1890's.
reBorn boutique & marketplace LLC
is located at the southern end of Wichita, nestled in an old general store type building.
Once known as the peach capital of the world, southern Wichita hosted many peach orchards with one of the country's most renowned being Blood Orchard.
The building was built in 1885 and has been owned by four generations of the Blood family. Blood Orchards peach trees were contaminated by salt in the ground water in 1984, thus ending over 100 years of orchards on the family owned property.
Be sure to stop by our Vintage Market the first Saturday of each month. These shows will spotlight local vendors from around the Wichita area.
The Official South Side Food Truck Rally is held during our Market!!!
Come enjoy some great food!!!
We are also very excited to announce that the orchard replanting process started in 2015 with a little patch of test peach varieties and will continue for about the next 3 years. We are planting about 300 trees every spring. (check with us in March of every year if you would like to come out to the farm and help on planting weekend! We love to show off our farm and the trees)
Thanks for all of your support in 2017. Mother Nature had other plans for the 2018 peach crop with the late freezes this spring. Unfortunately, we will not have any peaches this year. We are looking forward to the 2019 crop. :)
Interested in using our building for YOUR event? We can offer several options to help with your perfect party or get-together. Just give Jessica a call or stop by on one of our Vintage Market weekends to learn more!

Rosario Dawson and 'Walking Dead' Producer Bringing Occult Series to A&E
You can forget all about graphic novels, the occult, 'The Walking Dead, or even its producer Gale Ann Hurd. You had me at Rosario Dawson on TV. For long have we loved the olive-skinned and down-to-Earth beauty, and whatever iteration you put her onscreen a weekly basis is fine by us.
But, I suppose there are those who actually want to hear the news. The Hollywood Reporter says that actress Rosario Dawson and 'The Walking Dead' executive producer are in talks to bring Dawson's supernatural comic book drama 'Occult Crimes Taskforce' to TV as 'O.C.T.', the latest scripted series to land on A&E. If successful, both women would executive produce the series, with Dawson likely to take the lead role of Sophia Ortiz, much as she lent her likeness to the character of the books.
'Occult Task Force,' co-created by Dawson, David Atchison and Tony Shasteen, follows officer Sophia Ortiz, a new member of the titular bureau making use magic, spells, ghosts, the undead and the unnatural. The story chronicles the continued struggle between the O.C.T. detectives and an organized demon-force looking to take over Manhattan.
'The Unusuals' producer Jorge Zamacona, will pen the script for the pilot, also serving as producer alongside Dawson, Hurd, Atchison, Ford Gilmore and Shasteen, the graphic novel's illustrator. Interestingly, Dimension Films had previously opted the property for a movie, though nothing ever moved forward.
If brought to series, 'O.C.T.' will join A&E's expanding network of original scripted series, currently populated by 'The Glades,' 'Breakout Kings,' and the upcoming 'Longmire.'
Sound off! Are you interested in seeing Rosario Dawson's graphic novel brought to life with her in the lead, and a little help from 'The Walking Dead?' Give us your take in the comments below!

» Album Review
(Green Mountain Music Group, CD, digital download)
Over the past decade, one of Vermont's most consistent rap talents has been Ghana-born, Bronx-raised S.I.N.siZZle, also known around Burlington as Edwin Owusu. For years, he's been a standout collaborator and an engaging stage presence. But 2015 saw him step up as a prolific show promoter through his company Green Mountain Music Group.
Owusu clearly has even bigger ambitions for this year, which he kicked off by releasing his debut mixtape, Living in Sin. It's everything rap fans have grown to expect from a mixtape: the inconsistent sound quality from track to track, the constant gun sound effects and air-horn attacks between songs, and, perhaps most of all, the fact that you've got to visit online distributor DatPiff to download it. Format constraints aside, though, it's also a million miles away from the "warm leftovers" feel of most mixtapes.
The title is no mere pun. Although the project is not sonically cohesive, the entire 18-track playlist is thematically on point, a portrait of an imperfect man who is keenly aware of both his flaws and his gifts.
As a songwriter, S.I.N.siZZle demonstrates so much range here it almost becomes a handicap. At the very least, it's strange to have club anthems about seducing strippers in the same mix as "Dear Joey," a heartfelt and remarkably articulated song for his firstborn son. You'll have contradictions like that when you're dealing with actual artists, though, and this one has a real knack for narratives.
Naturally, the story we're best qualified to tell is our own, and the autobiographical tracks are where this project really takes off. Indeed, two of the best are the cautionary, claustrophobic "Vermont Trap" and the aspirational gospel "Ghana to America." Both are blunt but earnestly hopeful takes on the African diaspora experience.
Mixtapes are a business card, an introduction to new fans, but they also serve a message to the competition. The diversity of styles on display here is a statement about Owusu's always-adaptable skills on the mic. On tracks such as "Instant Classic," S.I.N.siZZle is making an unambiguous bid to be the best rapper in the state, period.
It's followed up immediately by the posse cut "Quiet Storm," which features some of the other contenders: Jibba the Gent, an impressively hardworking hip-hop entrepreneur in Springfield; Patron Pone, the most charismatic thug rapper Vermont has ever seen; and battle champ Learic of the Aztext. When siZZle opts to go last ... well, that's making a statement, too.
It's a credit to the artist that the mixtape has more quality songs than space permits me to unpack. Loaded with carefully constructed rhymes and hard-won life advice, Living in Sin is a power move. It kicks off what should be a strong year for local hip-hop and trains a well-deserved spotlight onto one of Burlington's best.
Living in Sin by S.I.N.siZZle is available for download at datpiff.com.

Also, this Amberley 2006 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is very nice. You heard it here.
Speaking of which, ThirdCat, I bought a bottle of that Lake Breeze Bernoota Shiraz (though not the same vintage, of course) when I happened to notice it at Dan Murphy's the other day, in your honour. I have stashed it to keep for a few years, as recommended.
Back to work.
It's not called a deadline for nothing.

Pav, trust you put in a refreshing kip after your huge effort.
Digby's Hullaballo I visit daily because "he" is a great writer. Nothing like a good hunh?! moment though, followed by a broad grin and a warm glow in the aftermath of yet another shattered assumption. Digby blogs from "The People's Rebublic of Santa Monica" CA, USA. Behind Digby(cf.link) stand many of the bloggers who can actually twirl a quill; who lead and supply heart, soul and creative oomph to the progressive blogosphere.

Actually with that Bernoota, if its 2004 or earlier, you can drink it right now and it will be very nice.
If you hunt around you can get them by the 1/2 dozen for very reasonable prices. Then you can have 1 every 6 months for the next 3 years to see what they do.
I think I bought some on-line, either from ebay, or from greys-online (whose win auctions are dangerous - you can easily spend a *lot* of money!)

Thanks Ashleigh -- it's a 2004. I might go back to DM's and get a few more. Hell, I might even go for a drive down to the region, if it ever stops raining. Tx also for links to newly discovered Adders blogs -- we're going to have critical mass for an Adders grogblog any day now at this rate.

70th Session of the UN General Assembly Second Committee Agenda Item 20: Sustainable Development
Chair, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Over the past two years, the international community has reached consensus on a number of significant and historical agreements related to sustainable development. The SAMOA Pathway document; the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction; the Addis Ababa Action Agenda; and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Taken together, these outcomes represent the core framework to guide our efforts towards sustainable development over the coming years. Although these outcomes may have different origins and although they were negotiated through different tracks, they all share a common purpose and must be implemented in a coordinated way.
Similarly, the agreements yet to be adopted – notably the outcome of the Paris Climate Conference – must complement and reinforce the commitments that have been made to date. In that regard, we call on governments to address and integrate the links between migration, environment and climate change into the Paris agreement. The frameworks adopted to date – including the 2030 Agenda – already recognise the multifaceted links between migration and development. For example, the 2030 Agenda and Addis Ababa Action Agenda both highlight the positive contribution of migrants for inclusive growth and sustainable development. The SAMOA Pathway and Sendai Framework highlight the need to address situations of displacement – particularly in the context of disasters – and to strengthen resilience, preparedness and response.
By including migration in these new agendas, we challenge ourselves to address the causes and consequences of migration in a way that promotes dignified, orderly, and safe migration for the benefit of all. The Paris Agreement must similarly address these issues – recognizing their cross-cutting nature – to ensure mutually reinforcing and coherent outcomes. IOM believes that climate change will generate more migration and that now is the time to plan for that eventuality in order to mitigate possible negative impacts, reduce the need for future disaster response intervention and to maximize the positive potential of migration as an adaptation strategy.
Specifically, we are working to mainstream human mobility concerns in all the substantive pillars of the new agreement, including:
- adaptation (including facilitated migration as a strategy for adapting to climate change);
- loss and damage in relation to displacement;
- mitigation and the impact of migration on environmental degradation;
- financing (including possible financial transfers to developing countries vulnerable to climate change);
- technological development and transfers (including diaspora contributions and investment); and
- capacity-building to support the efforts of policymakers to address the many challenges of human mobility in the context of climate change.
IOM is committed to contributing to ambitious climate action and to helping societies adapt to existing and future climate change challenges. To that end, our focus is to contribute to the negotiations on the new climate change agreement expected to be adopted in December. We offer our support to governments in that respect.
Thank you.

Mar. 28, 2014My happy girl wearing her Amber teething necklace! We have noticed such a difference and it's barely been a week! She doesn't drool anymore, doesn't scream in pain, and sleeps longer in the night! We also haven't had to use anymore Tylenol or orajel since we put it on! Awesome!was this review helpful? 6
May 5, 2014I was out of ideas on how to help soothe my son's teething pain. His molars are coming in so slowly and he was cranky and miserable. I read the reviews and figured we had nothing to lose. Ever since receiving his amber necklace, he has been less fussy, doesn't chew on his hands as much, and overall a happier boy. I love that it's natural. He's 18 months old. It doesn't bother him like I thought it might. We take it off for baths and that's it. I recommend that anyone interested tries it!was this review helpful? 8
Apr. 28, 2014I can definitely see a difference in my little girls symptoms when she is wearing her necklaces vs the days I forget to put it back on in the morning. Huge help!!was this review helpful? 8

Feb. 5, 2014I love the necklace. My daughter wears it all the time she has cut 2 teeth and I didn't even know she was teething. Lolwas this review helpful? 1
May 20, 2014While we are not 100% sure it is strictly the necklace helping our little one through teething, we are VERY pleased with our decision to purchase. I only say that we're not 100% because we put it on our son before he cut his first tooth, but we like to think it has helped because we have seen almost no irritation through his first two teeth. Amber For Babies has been a quality product and I feel safe using it with our 8 month old son. I have recommended it to many friends already and will continue to sing its praises!was this review helpful? 3
Mar. 10, 2014My baby still has a bit of teething discomfort, but that is to be expected. Her previously excessive drool now barely exists. That is evidence to me that the necklace is doing something.was this review helpful?
May 30, 2014Thank you for this product my daughter was going on 9 months and still had not cut a tooth, She was miserable and in so much pain, I didn't hesitate to put the necklace on when I received it in the mail. Just three weeks after, with the necklace on all the time, she cut her two bottom at the same time!!!was this review helpful? 1

Dec. 18, 2014I purchased a Lemon Amber Teething Necklace for my godchild because teething was making her fussy, giving her sleeping and drooling troubles. She's worn it for about a month now and ever since she first put it on she has shown incredible improvement. No more fussing or drooling, and she's sleeping better! Her mother almost went a day without it and as long as she wasn't wearing it she was so fussy and not feeling well. I'm very impressed with the results and I would absolutely recommend. I've even considered getting the adult one for myself!was this review helpful?
Jan. 3, 2015Purchased for my great-granddaughter who is a hard teether. Whole family has been amazed how much it has helped her. This one had better reviews than others I looked at. Will be purchasing more as gifts in the future.was this review helpful? 1
Jan. 27, 2015I love Amber for Babies and their customer service! My daughter's first necklace had broke and without hesitation they were willing so ship a new replacement necklace for free, even when I didn't have my order number! Thank you so much for your help and generosity.was this review helpful?
May 5, 2015My 17 month old started teething at a very early age of 3 months, and had 4 teeth by 8 months! It was a lot of infant tylenol and orajel for awhile. Although we had found a way to manage his teething pain by this point his drooling was out of control. He was 16 months when my husband discovered this site & people had said that it helped with the drooling. For us it was so worth trying because we were going through multiple shirts a day and he was getting rashes on his chest (he wouldn't keep a bib on anymore). After as little as 1 day we noticed a huge difference in the amount of drool that was on his shirt. It had gone from being soaked to just being damp. After about a week it was gone. He has had it on for about a month now and his drooling is practically gone!! Not to mention he just cut a tooth and I had no idea it was happening, so it's helped with the pain level too! Amber For Babies has been one of the best decisions we have made for our son!!!!was this review helpful?
May 20, 2015Bought for my niece and it has been working so well! She doesn't know she has it on and doesn't play with it at all.was this review helpful?
Sep 14, 2015I've noticed a difference probably around day 4 or 5. The only time her necklace comes off is for bed, bath & naps. I would Highly Recommend a teething necklace for every baby! I love that it's all natural & safe on her skin.was this review helpful?

We put a lot of effort to ensure that you are getting highest quality authentic Baltic amber. All our amber jewelry is made by skilled craftsmen in Lithuania. Each manufacture is verified. And samples from each product line are lab tested in USA to ensure that it's authentic Baltic amber.
Should i use amber necklace, amber bracelet/anklet or both?
Amber should be place as close to the source of pain as possible. For example necklace would be better choice for teething babies, and adults with headaches, migraines, neck pains, etc. Bracelet/anklets would work better for arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, restless legs syndrome.
If possible we recommend using both for maximum effect.
What is the difference between Raw and Polished types amber?
Raw type is made from raw(unpolished) Baltic amber, while Polished type use polishing to make the beads more shiny and more smooth. From therapeutic point of view Raw type is better, however we get positive feedback from customers for both types.
Which amber color should i choose? Cherry, Cognac, Honey, Lemon or Multicolor?
Despite numerous claims throughout the internet color doesn't matter. We get great response on lighter colors, as well as on darker colors. That being said Honey Raw and Lemon Raw are our currently top rated and best selling lines.

In January, the Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC) announced an ambitious inquiry into the future of policing in the UK. Its wide-ranging terms of reference require MPs on the committee to examine whether policing has the capability and capacity to keep people safe in the future. The call for written evidence closed a month ago and this week MPs began hearing oral evidence.
So, who has engaged with this opportunity to contribute to the debate about current and future crime trends, the changing demands on the police service, public expectations of policing and how it is funded and, equally, who hasn't?
HASC has so far published written evidence from 70 organisations and individuals (declaration of interest: Crest is among them, and you can read more about our submission here) and the breakdown is quite illuminating.
To date, 17 police and crime commissioners (PCCs) or elected mayors have put in written evidence along with the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC). Nine chief constables have made submissions, mostly from forces whose PCCs did not. The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) have put in evidence supplemented by separate submissions from a number of portfolio leads, e.g. digital policing and organised crime. The National Crime Agency and Home Office have put in evidence, as have policing staff bodies such as the Superintendents Association, the Police Federation of England and Wales and the Disabled Police Association.
Notable by their (current) absence from the HASC publication schedule, however, are the College of Policing, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (this may be a delay in publishing their submissions and oral evidence must surely come in due course?). Further afield, eight think tanks, NGOs and campaign groups, e.g. Big Brother Watch, have contributed along with eight universities or academics and five private sector organisations (including us).
What is particularly striking, however, is the lack of engagement from outside the core policing sector. Only three major charities (Barnardo's, Age UK and The Children's Society) and just four trade associations or trades unions have had evidence published. Local government and its umbrella bodies are also apparently silent, despite across-the-board increases in the police precept element of council tax.
Furthermore, the British Medical Association (BMA) appears to be the only organisation from the healthcare sector to have submitted evidence. Given the inquiry is specifically examining how well equipped policing is to cope with non-operational demands "such as mental health crisis", the absence of any input from the NHS or other organisations which focus on mental health (or drugs or alcohol or housing or homelessness) is disappointing. It is widely believed that cuts to these sectors have led to increased demand on police in recent years as 'the service of last resort'. A meaningful contribution from organisations within them would be timely and valued by the committee, by PCCs, chiefs and others in policing, surely.
At the first oral evidence session, Dr Rick Muir, Director of the Police Foundation think tank, told the committee: "Policing needs to be much more deeply integrated with other services at a local level". Getting these other services to show more interest in the one which picks up their pieces for them would be a good start.

Mardi Gras Madness: Plan a Mardi Gras Celebration"Let the good times roll" with a Mardi Gras celebration. Fat Tuesday is a time to celebrate and revel. There are two great things about planning a Mardi Gras celebration. First there are plenty of great party supplies to choose from that are fun, different and capture the Mardi Gras spirit. Second, even though Fat Tuesday is March 8th this year, a Mardi Gras theme for your parties can work any time during the year.
Mardi Gras Invitations
First invite some revelers. Send out Mardi Gras invitations to your Mardi Gras Celebration party well in advance. You can dress up your invitation in a few different ways.
I love the idea of attaching your invitations to a mask. Or you can include another Fat Tuesday staple and throw a stand of Mardi Gras beads into the envelope. Everyone will be delighted to get such a special invitation! Let them know they need their beads or masks in order to enter the party.
Make sure that your guests know that they need to dress the part. Offer some suggestions that fit the New Orleans theme such as a fortune teller, a jazz band player, a jester, or even a swamp creature. The sky's the limit when it comes to Bourbon Streeters dressing up for Mardi Gras. Prizes should be given out for the most original costume. And don't forget to get an amazing Mardi Gras costume for yourself! A Mardi Gras jester is always a huge hit. In fact, you almost have to have a jester at your party.
Mardi Gras Decorations and Party Supplies
Ok, you are all dressed up, but what if you have no where to go. Simply turn your house into Bourbon Street. Start by decorating outside to help set the mood. Nothing fancy. Maybe a personalized Mardi Gras banner by the front door. (They are available in 3 sizes and are water proof, so they're fine to put outside.)
Make sure you have plenty of Mardi Gras beads, masks, and doubloons (gold coins) on hand to add to the decorative flair of the house and to give to your guests. Its not a Mardi Gras party with out plenty of "throws." (If you've got a balcony, it would be fun to toss the items to your guests as they are arriving at party.)No Mardi Gras Party is complete without second line and Dixieland jazz band music to get your guests into the carnival spirit. Make sure you don't forget to play "The Mardi Gras Mambo."
Mardi Gras table decorations and menu
Have fun setting your table for the feast. Purple, green and yellow are the colors so if you go with those colors you're fine. Some brightly colored Mardi Gras paper goods are mandatory.
New Orleans food is infamous throughout the world, so let's get down to the menu (and drink) details.

Maybe a personalized Mardi Gras banner by the front door. (They are available in 3 sizes and are water proof, so they're fine to put outside.)
I like putting a life sized cutout near the front door. Nothing says your party will be something special like these cutouts. Too shy to drop your face in there? Choose a photo op and let your guests have their pictures taken as a Mardi Gras jester. Very fun. (Party411 even has a personalized Mardi Gras camera available to help you and guests take pictures during your party. Print them out after and send them to everyone as a special thank you.
Once inside the house it's easy to turn your home into Bourbon Street. Here are some great French Quarter theme decorations:
- A French Quarter theme Mardi Gras scene setter makes a bit statement on any wall. These scene setters are large, inexpensive and easy to use. What could be better?
- Decorate your house with signs that are unique to the French Quarter such as Bourbon Street and Jackson Square. Make your own or choose pre-made New Orleans street signs.
- Sprinkle fleur de lis confetti on the tables.
- Mardi Gras tinsel garland - bright and fun, for around your bar!

Have fun setting your table for the feast. Purple, green and yellow are the colors so if you go with those colors you're fine. Some brightly colored Mardi Gras paper goods are mandatory.
Centerpieces are easy to design with your choice of colorful feather masks surrounding a bunch of Mardi Gras balloons in purple, green, and gold. Or choose a simple Mardi Gras mask centerpiece that's fun and easy to assemble. Add a few extra touches to your table:
- You can be creative with beads also. We use the Mardi Gras beads as a table decoration, usually to wrap napkins.
- Gold, purple and green candles would look great on the tables.
- Gold Coins are a must scattered on tables for a fun Mardi Gras themed confetti.
- Mardi Gras is all about the music, so print out jazz sheet music to use as placemats.
- One pot meals are a great way to go for Fat Tuesday; serve gumbo or do a crawfish boil!
- Provide everyone with tasty hurricanes. And serve it up in a light up glass. It is sure to be a hit!
- And last but not least a King Cake for dessert!
Mardi Gras party favors
You've already decked out your guests with beads, hats and masks at your Mardi Gras party. (You can throw some of those beads and favors into a custom Mardi Gras Favor bag!) When it's time to say goodnight, be sure to send your guests home with a delicious personalized favor. Here are some personalized Mardi Gras favors that we love!
Personalized Mardi Gras candy bar wrappers - with a custom note thanking everyone for attending
- Custom Mardi Gras lollipops - seriously cute!

Sprint Nextel Corp., left behind in the latest wireless consolidation, is in talks with one of Japan's largest cellphone service providers for a possible takeover that could help turn around the No. 3 U.S. carrier.
Sprint said Thursday that Softbank Corp. is considering a "substantial investment" in the company. The deal would give Sprint much-needed financial support to build out its high-speed LTE network and better compete in a market dominated by Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc.
With more than 56 million customers, Sprint was expected to make a move after last week's announcement that Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and MetroPCS had agreed to merge. If approved, that deal would create the nation's fourth-largest carrier with 42.5 million subscribers. The new T-Mobile would be focused on price-sensitive, pay-as-you-go customers.
Many analysts said the T-Mobile-MetroPCS merger was a threat to Sprint, which appeared to be caught in the middle without a strong business niche. They surmised that the carrier — which had tried to take over MetroPCS earlier this year — would quickly try to broker its own consolidation deal to improve its position in the market.

In the wake of recent nationwide media attention to the dangers of mercury in compact fluorescent light bulbs, the Danvers Department of Public Works insists that the benefits of using CFLs overshadow the minimal risk associated with using them.
In the wake of recent nationwide media attention to the dangers of mercury in compact fluorescent light bulbs, the Danvers Department of Public Works insists that the benefits of using CFLs overshadow the minimal risk associated with using them.
Over the years, CFLs have grown in popularity and have taken the place of many typically used incandescent bulbs. These environmentally friendly bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer, according to documents distributed by the U.S. Government's Energy Star Program. Despite all of the factors in their favor, CFLs contain mercury, and that reality is what fuels the undercurrent of resistance to the Earth friendly change. Mercury is a neurotoxin, and neurotoxins are extremely dangerous especially for pregnant women and children. So, using CFLs is not the problem, handling and disposing of them properly is, said Pamela Irwin of the Danvers Department of Public Works.
"The latest sensationalism is that CFLs are going to kill us all. That's just insane. It is not such hazardous waste as some would have you believe," said Irwin in response to some of the concerns inspired by e-mailed articles. For instance, one from Environetdaily had stories of mercury disposal hazards in Prospect, Maine, and rooms requiring plastic sheets to block other rooms from contamination.
What many fail to realize is that the amount of mercury inside a CFL is minimal, said Irwin. The amount of mercury encased within a CFL is 5 milligrams. There is far more mercury in everyday things we encounter, like thermometers that contain almost 500 milligrams of mercury, and even things that we eat, like tuna fish, according to the Energy Star Web site.
"I wonder how many people think about things like this when they make a tuna fish sandwich for lunch!" said Irwin.
Beyond the misconception that CFLs contain excessive mercury, individuals still complain that there are not enough ways to dispose of CFLs correctly when the time comes. That's every 10 years or so, said Irwin.
The fact is that numerous avenues are available to do just that. The Danvers DPW has maintained a supportive stance on CFLs and guarantees that there are ways for community members to use and dispose of them in an easy, environmentally friendly and safe manner.
"As long as CFLs are managed properly, they are not a problem," said Irwin.
Danvers Department of Public Works insists that CFLs are safe to use in the home, but they must be recycled, not thrown in the trash. There are numerous ways to adhere to proper disposal methods.
Danvers DPW issues a mercury separation plan every year and, in addition, the town runs a Hazardous Waste Day at the Universal Waste Shed at the Transfer Station on Route 1, where the community can learn how to safely handle hazardous materials and dispose of any or all old or expired mercury-bearing products.
However, if one's schedule does not allow, the Universal Waste shed is open regular business hours and available to take mercury bearing products at no cost, when it is most convenient.
The town's relationship with Covanta Energy in Haverhill has been a critical one, facilitating mercury separation plans and providing Danvers with the amenities to safely do so, Irwin said
"Having this connection with Covanta has been really helpful because it saves the town expenses related to disposal," said Irwin.
Covanta provided the Universal Waste Shed at the Transfer station for proper disposal of all mercury-bearing products, and sponsors the both the Hazardous Waste Day at the waste shed, as well as specific mercury collection days four times a year.
Beyond residential assistance, Covanta has also worked to make Danvers schools safer and more efficient. Chemical cleanouts have become a regular thing in the public school system, whereby a search is conducted, and old or expired CFLs are replaced and disposed of properly. Newer and more efficient Energy Star products are then implemented, along with a Mercury Management plan that aims to keep CFLs in check in the future.
CFLs, at least in Danvers, are nothing to fear but something to celebrate, Irwin said. By using CFLs, Danvers can help to play a role in lowering emissions and lowering energy bills for residents.
"If every home in America replaced just one incandescent light bulb with an Energy Star qualified CFL, it would save enough to light more than 3 million homes and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of more than 800,000 cars annually," according to Energy Star documentation.
Handling expired bulbs requires care. Help and advice is always available, says the DPW. They offer a mercury hotline that you can reach by telephone at 1-844-9mercury.
The Universal Waste Shed is located at the Danvers Transfer Station (Route 1 South) and is open weekdays from 7:00AM to 2:45 p.m. Their telephone number is 978-762-0252.
