Our Heads Have Out-Grown the Crown, But Have We Grown to Wear It?
Youth Media Project
We are the trailblazers for the next generation. We are the ones who will impact our communities and help shape and mold their atmosphere. The only just way to do this, is to humble ourselves and get out into the community and SERVE. Having my brothers' back does not only apply to Morehouse, this is a concept that should be embedded into the minds of all.
Summer Job Dilemma, Teen Advocate Edition
Youth Media Project
I could never picture myself flipping burgers and delivering food for the entire summer. Serving the community burgers and fries is different from holding a rally for LGBTQ issues.
Straight to the Litter Box
Staggeringly bad filmmaking in nearly every conceivable way, it's hard to imagine a more boilerplate costumed comic-book actioner than "Catwoman," a DC Comics rip-off.
The Comfort of Coast Cuisine
Before I met my husband I had no idea about the simple pleasure that comes from eating an oyster po-boy and gulping down an ice-cold Barq's root beer from a bottle. I thought Mardi Gras parades were only in New Orleans, and what the heck were you supposed to do with a crawfish?
Taming the Household Jungle
If you don't have young children in your home, you may not realize how quickly a tiny mobile person can get into trouble with everyday household items. Before your baby starts to crawl, you should make a few changes around the house.
Seeing The Music
Cliff Speaks would rather not know where his art will take him. "Halfway through, it could turn to a completely different direction."
[Wine] Keeping It Cool
I'm not usually one to talk much about the weather, but lately who can help it? WOW—is it ever hot. When the temperature's up, people's dispositions tend to go sour, too. What we all need to do is slow down, have a nice glass of wine, and everything will be alright.
The House Intention Bought
"We have an offer on your house," the caller said. If I had been selling my house, that would have been happy news. The problem was that I was renting my house, and an offer meant that I would have to move out at the end of my lease term, a mere 10 months away.
I Think I Love You
When I say Malbec, you might scratch your head asking, "Is that a wine, and have I ever had it?" Chances are, you have, even if you didn't know it at the time. Long a blending grape in Bordeaux, it's also mixed with Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay in parts of the Loire Valley. The only region in France to treat it as anything other than a workhorse grape is Cahors, but it has begun to lose favor there due to being susceptible to frost, mildew and rot.
So What's New?
Around every corner is a new wine to try, some obscure varietal calling out for experimentation or a just-released new vintage of one of your favorite standbys. There is no end to the world of wine. Old wines continue to evolve in the bottle, while new wines tempt us with their mystery. Each time I go to a wine shop, I am almost always overcome with curiosity. Will it disappoint me? Dare I take it to the party on Saturday night?
A Bit of Discord
Belly dancers dancing. An upright base playing. Computer sound effects clanging. A saxophone honking. What do these things have in common? You might experience all of them at once as part of a performance of the Mississippi Improv Alliance.
Generic Sci-fi Goodness
*Platform: PC*
Games today get too wrapped up in story line. You watch CG videos, drawn-out cutscenes, and plot exposition until finally the game is over and you realize you hardly actually played anything. "RF Online" does not make this mistake.
Relevancy of Roots
Modern roots music has hit a creative low in recent years. Artists have shown decreasing concern for progressing the genre, focusing instead on "authenticity." The Felice Brothers are a challenge to this turn-back-the-clock mindset.
[Fly] Beginner's Guide To Wine
When it comes to wine, a little knowledge goes a long way. You can get a nice white for under $10, but stick to $15 an up for reds. Here are some other wine basics to get you started:
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Set in the Mississippi Delta, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is a story about greed, passion and an old man named Big Daddy. New Stage Theatre takes on Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play in October as this season's American Classic production.
GOP May Sue Over Hinds Maps
Phil Fisher, Hinds County District 4 supervisor, is thinking about suing over new county redistricting maps.
Obama to Give Israel $70M in Military Funding
President Barack Obama said Friday he is releasing an additional $70 million in military aid for Israel, a previously announced move that appeared timed to upstage Republican rival Mitt Romney's trip to Israel this weekend.
Poker Run: Not Your Average Race
Under cover of the narrow eaves at Fleet Feet Sports in Ridgeland, all shapes and sizes of runners and walkers huddled together to stay out of the rain.
Trails, Trails, Trails!
Jackson may not seem like a town that would be accommodating to runners and bikers, but these active cultures are growing
