Once upon a time, way way waaay before the internet, we relied on newspapers, flyers, posters and town criers to keep us informed. Now, however, it’s not hard to find a friendly neighborhood blogger (sometimes still employed by a newspaper, sometimes not) who has the 4-1-1 on all things important. And not just with what’s happening in the community you live in, but the communities — virtual or otherwise — that you associate with, too. It really doesn’t matter what you’re into, someone is keeping current on the latest goings-on.

Impious Hodge Supporter Flaunts Campaign Shirt During Memorial For Troops
More from this author

duncanvillevoice On Memorial Day, the City of Duncanville held a beautiful service for our fallen troops that have so bravely given their lives for the sake of our freedom. It was also a day to reflect on those who are currently serving our nation and those who served in the past. A day to remember that freedom is not free and many men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us. It was not a day to campaign for Mayor.   See # 6 If she truly believed in her heart that citizens are more important than politics, then she should have politely told her supporter, which sat next to her during the entire memorial service, that this is not the time or place for campaigning and to please cover her shirt or ask her to change. One would have to guess that politics are more important. The crowd that gathered on Monday did not show up to learn who was on the runoff ballot or to hear lies about the city taking Mayor Green’s credit card away. They were there to remember our troops. Could anyone be m

Another Year at the NSRA Nats South
More from this author

byrdphoto I’ve been going to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals South for as long as I can remember. It’s always held on the first weekend of May and it was once a happenin’ event with more than 4,000 cars in attendance. However, the crowd has dwindled as of late, due to a number of factors, including the age of the participants and their willingness to sit out in the sun (or rain) the entire weekend. Regardless of that, I still go because it’s a great place to find vehicles to photograph, whether it’s for my magazine side work or for use in Coker marketing materials. The Saturday crowd ended up being pretty big…this picture was taken in the morning, but by mid afternoon, the fairgrounds looked packed as always. Loved this Shoebox Ford….good stance and the right color! Normally I just drive a regular vehicle to the Nats South, and this was definitely the case when the NSRA regulated its participants to 1948 and older vehicles. I don’t have anything that

Convocation – A Great Day To Be a Teacher
Amanda Bickell

You might think that after 10 years of teaching, attending convocation ceremonies would get, well, old.  It’s not true for me.  In fact, I might be getting even more sentimental with each passing year.  Yes, I still get a little uncomfortable dressing up like Professor McGonagall and heading out in public, but the pageantry of the event certainly marks it as an extraordinary day. The convocation held this week was particularly extraordinary as it was the first time I saw students I had taught, graduate with a credential from a program that I helped to create.  In many ways, this group were pioneers.  No, a BBA in Marketing Management isn’t a new degree, but it was for them, the first class of this new program. They were part of its development, and their input, experience and feedback will help to shape the future courses for those that follow. I was thrilled when this exceptional group joined the new program.  I was even happier to see them successfully complete it.  They

Sing!
this is lemonade

I didn’t know that there was an official song for the Diamond Jubilee. It tickled me to imagine the Queen sitting in her car with her iPhone, blaring out the music from the back seat and singing along with Prince Philip on their way to the Epsom Derby this morning. It’s a catchy and uplifting (cheesy) song. I can just picture Her Majesty emptying her lungs and belting out the chorus…and swaying in time, maybe waving the royal handbag above her head, both white-gloved hands in the air. Must be a nice change from hearing “God Save the Queen” for the last 60 years. I was wondering if the song was a gift from the Queen to her subjects, but turns out it will be on sale and some of the proceeds will go to the Official Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust. What isn’t there a song for? What’s the official Olympic anthem going to be? I haven’t been keeping an ear out for it. I hope that it’s good. But I had better step away from the compute

Good old Afternoon tea makes a comeback
The Crazy Hog Catering Company Blog

You can’t beat a lovely pot of tea and piece of cake,can you? Over the last 12 months afternoon tea has made a real comeback,can we put it down to the Queens Jubilee,or just a good British tradition that has laid low over the years,normally seen across the country at church summer fetes once a year,cooked up by the helpers and served on donated china plates,with a strong cup of tea,served in a large steel tea pot. Even the good old fairy cake has made a comeback,now known as a cup cake,and been value added with some lovely butter cream or sugar paste, along with adding all sorts off decorations and personalised toppers,we can look forward to some really exciting cakes to join our afternoon teas. Tea began popular with British people going back to the 1660′s when Charles II married Catherine of Braganza, she brought tea with her as part go her dowry. Unlike today,tea was very expensive and scarce,and was subject to extremely high taxation,so some things don’t change
