STAR TREK DAY | September 8
Fans across the globe celebrate Star Trek Day on September 8 to remember the timeless legacy Star Trek has made on society and pop culture.
On September 8, 1966, a television series pilot known as Star Trek was introduced on American television. Aiming for an adult audience, this was the was the first time a scientific fiction series would explore morality through scientific narratives. Most movies or television shows would contain science but would often create conflict of suffering and injustice to solve problems. However, Star Trek was different. The series would put actors in the forefront making scientific arguments, while providing peaceful solutions to problems without using violence.
What was the first episode of Star Trek? In a galaxy far, far away "The Man Trap" aired as the pilot episode for Star Trek: The Original Series. Creator Gene Roddenberry's vision to successfully deliver a storyline of intergalactic drama full of diversity, acceptance and hope became a reality on todays date. Though the series intention was to be a fictional story, Star Trek would become a futuristic franchise, showcasing humans living in harmony with space and Earth.
The Starship Enterprise
The original cast of the Star Trek series was one of the most diverse looking characters ever seen on television at the time. The main crew consisted of:
- Ship Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner)
- First Officer and Science Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy)
- Chief Medical Officer: Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelly)
- Opening Credits Narrator: William Shatner
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages ofthe starshipEnterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly gowhere no man has gone before. ~ William Shatner

Description
This striking cross pendant was once owned and worn by the iconic Elizabeth Taylor. Embodying her irresistible Hollywood glamour, the blue enamel and diamond pendant designed by British bespoke jeweler Theo Fennell is almost as stunning as Taylor herself.
Known for his eye-catching designs and one-of-a-kind commissions, Fennell crafted this cross pendant with brilliant blue enamel and 18K yellow gold embellished with delicate floral motifs. Accented with five white diamonds of F-G color and VS clarity and accompanied by its 14K yellow gold chain, this cross pendant still makes as bold a statement today as it did when Elizabeth Taylor wore it.
Renowned not only for her unforgettable roles in films like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Taylor was also celebrated for her extraordinary jewelry collection. Her assemblage, among the most significant in the world, featured iconic masterpieces from Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, JAR, Bulgari and other distinguished design houses. This necklace is further elevated by its provenance as a part of Kathy Ireland's collection. Ireland, a prominent figure who seamlessly transitioned from supermodel to dynamic businesswoman, has leveraged her brand's influence to become a major force in fashion and home furnishings. Alongside Taylor, the two have redefined the concept of "Hollywood Icon."
Stamped "Fennell"
Pendant: 3" long x 1 5/8" wide
Chain: 31" long

Playmakers Theater been producing terrific shows from Covington’s Sans Souci Forest since 1955. This Saturday we raise the curtain on our 70th season with the uproarious comedy ‘Til Beth Do Us Part, by Jones Hope Wooten, the same team that wrote 2023’s sellout hit, The Savannah Sipping Society. Directed by Derek Thrush, the madcap comedy revolves around an ambitious, conniving assistant who attempts to take over her harried boss’s business and her husband.
‘Til Beth Do Us Part is a side-splitting comic romp about careens around the strained marriage of Gibby and Suzannah, a couple who have allowed their 27-year marriage grow stale. When new assistant Beth steps in the fireworks begin. Whether you’re married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently being controlled by someone up to no good, you’re sure to enjoy this family friendly, laugh-out-loud comedy.
The cast features Joanna Parr, Shawn Patterson, Stephanie Sayles, Jen Patterson, Laura Hayes, Daniel Jenkins, and Nada Elkassouf. Assistant director is Jen Patterson.
There will be some important changes at Playmakers Theater beginning this season. Evening curtain times will be 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. to help patrons navigate bridge construction traffic. We will also be adding Friday evening performances. And Playmakers will once again offer reserved seating.
Season tickets are available for $130 and on sale now at BonTempsTix.com at the “Get Your Season Tickets Now” link below. Individual tickets for ‘Til Beth Do Us Part are $20 and also available at the BonTempsTix.com “Get Your Tickets Now” link below. The play opens Saturday, September 7 and runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through September 22. Evening curtain times are 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

"Cautious" serves as the modern equivalent of the word "wary," embodying a sense of carefulness and prudence in uncertain situations. While "wary" suggests a heightened alertness to potential dangers or risks, "cautious" extends this concept, emphasizing a deliberate approach to decision-making and actions. In today's fast-paced world, being cautious reflects an awareness of the complexities and unpredictabilities of life, encouraging individuals to assess situations thoughtfully before proceeding. This term resonates across various contexts, from personal relationships to financial decisions, highlighting the importance of vigilance and foresight in navigating contemporary challenges. Embracing caution fosters safety and informed choices. | |

NATIONAL SALAMI DAY
National Salami Day on September 7th recognizes a cured meat many people enjoy every day. Salami are cured, fermented, and air-dried sausages that find their way to our delis and butcher shops in delicious variety.
Most commonly made with pork, makers use other meats and blends when preparing salami. For example, delis may offer a lamb, duck, or a beef and pork blend. The ground sausage is blended with seasonings and salt air-cured in either a pork or beef casing. Methods and recipes vary by region and country. Even aging time varies. However, makers typically age salami between 30 to 90 days or longer.
While salami's beginnings are uncertain, the Romans may have introduced methods used today. In days before refrigeration, Salamis were historically popular among Southern European peasants. The sausage keeps well once cut when stored at room temperatures for up to 30 to 40 days.
Two salamis that might be familiar to you are Genoa and Hard Salami. Genoa salami ages with red wine, peppercorns, and garlic. This softer salami offers a fermented flavor. In contrast, Hard Salami not only falls into the cured category but makers also dry and smoke the meat. The resulting salami slices easily.

NATIONAL HUG YOUR HOUND DAY
On the second Sunday in September, National Hug Your Hound Day dedicates a furry hug to our canine companions. All day long, be sure to give your pooch your full attention. Even spend the day much the way your dog spends it.
The idea of Hug Your Hound Day is about observing your dog (from his point of view). That means, explore your dog's world from his perspective. Investigate his environment and habits. You may discover some hazards as you roam around the house or yard. For example, you might find broken chew toys that have become choking risks. Perhaps your fur baby leads you to realize he has access to toxic chemicals.
Look for items or places that put your forever friend in danger. Place childproof locks on cabinets. Discard or repair any broken items. Our yards can be surprisingly risky, too. Check for toxic plants or holes in the fencing.
Not only will your pup enjoy the companionship, but he will also be safer for all your exploring, too.

Grammar Hacks: How to Instantly Improve Your Writing
Whether you're a professional writer or just trying to improve your everyday communication skills, having a strong grasp of grammar is essential. Good grammar not only helps you convey your ideas clearly and effectively, but it also enhances your credibility as a writer.
In this blog post, we will explore some grammar hacks that can instantly improve your writing. These simple tips and tricks will help you avoid common grammatical errors, enhance your sentence structure, and polish your overall writing style. So let's dive right in!
Understanding Sentence Structure
Before we delve into specific grammar hacks, it's crucial to understand the basic structure of a sentence. A sentence typically consists of a subject, a verb, and an object. Understanding this structure will help you construct grammatically correct and coherent sentences.
Use Active Voice
Using active voice in your writing can make it more engaging and concise. In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action, whereas in passive voice, the subject receives the action. Active voice adds clarity and energy to your writing, making it more enjoyable to read.
For example:
- Passive voice: The cake was baked by me.
- Active voice: I baked the cake.
By using active voice, you not only eliminate unnecessary words but also make your writing more direct and impactful.
Eliminate Wordiness
Wordiness can bog down your writing and make it less effective. By eliminating unnecessary words and phrases, you can make your sentences more concise and to the point. Here are a few strategies to help you achieve this:
- Remove filler words: Words like "just," "very," and "really" often add little meaning to a sentence. Eliminating them can make your writing more direct and impactful.
- Avoid repetitive phrases: Sometimes, we tend to use multiple words or phrases to convey the same idea. For instance, instead of saying "I personally believe," you can simply say "I believe." Removing these redundancies will streamline your writing.
- Use strong verbs: Instead of using weak verbs followed by adverbs, opt for strong verbs that can convey your message more effectively. For example, replace "walk slowly" with "amble" or "saunter."
By taking these steps to eliminate wordiness, you will make your writing more concise and engaging.
Master Punctuation
Punctuation plays a crucial role in conveying meaning and clarity in your writing. Here are a few punctuation hacks to instantly improve your writing:
- Use commas effectively: Commas help separate ideas and enhance readability. Be mindful of using them to separate items in a list, join independent clauses, or set off introductory phrases.
- Understand semicolons and colons: Semicolons can be used to join two closely related independent clauses, while colons are useful for introducing a list or a further explanation.
- Embrace the power of the dash: Dashes can add emphasis or provide a sudden break in thought. They can be used to set off a phrase or provide a dramatic pause.
By mastering punctuation, you can enhance the clarity and flow of your writing.
Consistency in Verb Tenses
Maintaining consistency in verb tenses is crucial for clear and coherent writing. Mixing past, present, and future tenses within a sentence or paragraph can confuse your readers. To ensure consistency, choose a tense and stick to it throughout your writing.
If you need to shift tenses to indicate a change in time, do so intentionally and make it clear to your readers. Consistency in verb tenses will make your writing more coherent and easier to follow.
Proofread and Edit
No matter how well you understand grammar, proofreading and editing your work is essential. After completing a piece of writing, take some time to review it for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Reading your work aloud can also help you identify any awkward phrasing or unclear sentences.
Additionally, consider seeking feedback from others. A fresh pair of eyes can often catch mistakes or suggest improvements that you may have missed. By thoroughly proofreading and editing your writing, you can ensure it is polished and error-free.
Improving your writing skills doesn't have to be a daunting task. By implementing these grammar hacks, you can instantly enhance the quality of your writing. Remember to understand sentence structure, use active voice, eliminate wordiness, master punctuation, maintain consistency in verb tenses, and always proofread and edit your work.
With consistent practice and attention to detail, you'll be well on your way to becoming a more confident and skilled writer. So go ahead, apply these grammar hacks, and watch your writing soar to new heights!

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, August 19
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

It’s Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s Manchac & Middendorf’s Slidell! Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September, handmade paper-thin fettuccine is on the menu.
This mouth-watering dish is served with your choice of classic Alfredo or Marinara Sauce and topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with optional add-ons of shrimp, crabmeat and chicken.
- Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
- Optional add-ons:
- Shrimp
- Crabmeat
- Chicken
- Side of Fettuccine topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
Fun Facts:
- Our handmade, paper-thin fettuccine was a guest favorite at Bella Luna in the French Quarter. Bella Luna was a fine dining restaurant owned and operated by Horst and Karen Pfeifer. It closed due to Hurricane Katrina and never reopened. The memory of Bella Luna lives on through Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s. Same Pasta. Same Taste. None of the Fancy.
- Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer makes the fettuccine from scratch which consists solely of Semolina flour and eggs. It’s a very time consuming process to make the fettuccine so paper-thin, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Fettuccine is available all day (lunch and dinner).
- Our full menu is also available.
- Uncooked fettuccine is also available for purchase to make a quick meal at home.
We hope you can join us for Fettuccine Frenzy — Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September!

Several cast members will perform with real instruments live onstage at Jefferson Performing Arts Center September 13-22, 2024.
Based on the 2003 movie, School of Rock: The Musical tells the story of Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school who turns his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical features 14 new songs and songs from the original movie.

Youth principals include Andrew Letellier as Zack Mooneyham, Merah Benoit as Katie, Drago Han as Lawrence, August Doussan as Freddie, and Olivia Yi as Summer Hathaway.
Nathan (Dewey) and four youth performers will be playing their instruments live on stage: Merah Benoit (Katie) will play bass guitar, Drago Han (Lawrence) will play keyboards, August Doussan (Freddie) will play drums, and Andrew Letellier (Zack) will play guitar. Some of the youth musicians are making their acting debuts (August Doussan) while others are seasoned performers (such as Merah Benoit) who are learning their instruments for their roles in this show.

August Doussan (Freddie) has been learning from local legendary drummers like Johnny Vidacovich and Stanton Moore, from an early age. At age 8, he joined School of Rock Metairie/New Orleans and quickly rose to become a drummer for the prestigious School of Rock House Band.
