Touriste, NOLA
Produced & Edited By Aloke Mukerjee. Music: Sunshine's Better by John Martyn. Posted on January 4, 2012.
NOLA is commonly used for New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. The city is named after Philippe d' Orléans, Duke of Orléans, Regent of France, and is well known for its distinct French Creole architecture, as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, straddling the Mississippi River. Lake Pontchartrain, part of which is included in the city limits, lies to the north and Lake Borgne lies to the east. La Nouvelle - Orléans (New Orleans) was founded May 7, 1718, by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, on land inhabited by the Chitimacha. Napoleon sold the territory to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Thereafter, the city grew rapidly with influxes of Americans, French, Creoles, Irish, Germans and Africans. Major commodity crops of sugar and cotton were cultivated with slave labor on large plantations outside the city. New Orleans was catastrophically impacted by what the University of California Berkeley's Dr. Raymond B. Seed called the worst engineering disaster in the world since Chernobyl when the Federal levee system failed catastrophically during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. By the time hurricane Katrina approached the city at the end of August 2005, most residents had evacuated. Over 1,500 people died in Louisiana and some are still unaccounted for. Though New Orleans possesses numerous structures of national architectural significance, it is equally, if not more, revered for its enormous, largely intact historic built environment. There are many other historic housing styles: Creole cottages, American townhouses, double-gallery houses, and Raised Center-Hall Cottages. St. Charles Avenue is famed for its large antebellum homes. Its mansions are in various styles, such as Greek Revival, American Colonial and the Victorian styles of Queen Anne and Italianate architecture. New Orleans is also noted for its large, European-style Catholic cemeteries, which can be found throughout the city. For much of its history, New Orleans' skyline consisted of only low and mid-rise structures. The soft soils of New Orleans are susceptible to subsidence, and there was doubt about the feasibility of constructing large high rises in such an environment. Prior to Katrina, there were 265 hotels with 38,338 rooms in the Greater New Orleans Area. In May 2007, there were over 140 hotels and motels in operation with over 31,000 rooms. According to a travel poll, New Orleans is the best U.S. city as a spring break destination and for stylish boutique hotels, cocktail hours, singles/bar scenes, live music concerts and bands, antique and vintage shops, cafés/coffee bars, neighborhood restaurants, and people watching. The city also ranked second for gay friendliness (behind San Francisco, California), friendliness (behind Charleston, South Carolina), bed and bath hotels and inns, and ethnic food. Notable tourist attractions in the Quarter include Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market (including Café du Monde, famous for café au lait and beignets) and Preservation Hall. To tour the port, one can ride the Natchez, an authentic steamboat with a calliope, which cruises the Mississippi the length of the city twice daily. Unlike most other places in The United States, and the world, New Orleans has become widely known for its element of elegant decay. The city's many beautiful cemeteries and their distinct above-ground tombs are often attractions in themselves, the oldest and most famous of which, Saint Louis Cemetery, greatly resembles Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Johnny Apple Peeler by Victorio We have used this tool extensively in our kitchen. From peeling apples for the kids or potatoes to making curly fries. When the twins were born, we used this to peel 5 bushes of pears to make homemade baby food.
Swissmar Borner Mandoline V Slicer This is a product that I use quite a bit. It will slice up potatoes, Onions, carrots, bell pepper, etc in a quick minute.
The Great Scrape Ultimate BBQ Tool If you love grilling
Ninja 4 in 1 cook system We love this unit. I have a video where I cook chicken noodle soup in the one that I have. I love the feature where you set the cook time and it finishes and turns on to warm. You can also brown meat in this or bake in it.
Cajun Injector Batter Pro I have had one of these for a while now. I actually got it for a present for Christmas one year. I love this thing. If you deep fry chicken, fish, or vegetables that need to be breaded, this thing is the ticket.
Kitchenaid Blender I debated for a while between this unit and the more expensive Vitamix blenders. Although I have never used a Vitamix, this one has been very solid for me. I use it to blend soups a good bit. Especially when I make potato soup. Never had an issue with it.
Ninja Blender This was another item that I did a lot of research on. I was trying to decide between the Magic Bullet and this. I ended up going with this and to this day, I am still very satisfied with my purchase. It blends really great. Does what I need it to do. Great for smoothies where you don’t have to drag the blender out and can drink out of the same cup.

Outlaws leader tells his side of the story
Mark Lester, regional president of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, relates what happened at the group's clubhouse on New Year's Eve 2009. The Knox County Sheriff's Office raided the clubhouse on the evening of Dec. 31, 2009 and arrested Lester and a fellow Outlaw member.
Although the operation took place within the city limits, the Sheriff's Office executed the raid while Knoxville Police Department officers played a supporting role.
Patsy Cline
Virginia Patterson Hensley (September 8, 1932 – March 5, 1963), known professionally as Patsy Cline, was an American country music singer.

She was one of the most influential, successful and acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century.
Cline was best known for her rich tone, emotionally expressive and bold contralto voice and her role as a country music industry pioneer. Along with Kitty Wells, she helped pave the way for women as headline performers in the genre. Cline was cited as an inspiration by singers in several genres.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Tom Houck, Reflections on Georgia Politics
ROGP 087. Tom Houck interviewed by Bob Short, September 28, 2009.
Thomas Houck dropped out of high school at age 15 and joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to work under Hosea Williams. In 1965, he met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at a meeting of the SCLC, and in 1966 he came to Atlanta and became the King family's personal driver. Later, he became an organizer for the SCLC, and was active in numerous demonstrations and marches. His case, Houck and Williams vs. Birmingham-Jefferson County, led to the desegregation of Southern jails. Houck went on to help campaign for various Atlanta mayors and governors, including Maynard Jackson and Zell Miller, and started doing commentary for WGST Radio. Houck discusses his work with the SCLC, some personal experiences with the King family, his work on various campaigns, and the state of party politics in Georgia.
