The disturbance's maximum sustained winds at 7 a.m. on Monday were 35 mph as it moved north at 7 mph. Forecasters said that the system will likely form into Rafael before passing near Jamaica Monday night and Tuesday. It is forecast to reach hurricane strength Tuesday evening while approaching western Cuba.



By Wednesday morning, the system will likely move into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, bringing heavy rain to parts of the western Caribbean, Jamaica and Cuba during the middle of the week. Forecasters warned that portions of Jamaica and Cuba may experience flooding.

The system does not pose an immediate threat to Louisiana.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen has been fired; Darren Rizzi to serve as interim

Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, who has been with the team since 2019 and serves in the role of assistant head coach, is expected to take over as head coach, according to a report from the NFL Network.


NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — New Orleans Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen has been fired according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Allen’s dismissal comes after the Saints lost to the Carolina Panthers 23 – 22 on Sunday, Nov. 3. This marked the seventh loss in a row for the Saints this season.

Allen was announced as head coach in 2022 following Sean Payton stepping down from the position.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave taken to hospital after suffering concussion

Before accepting the position, Allen previously served as a senior defensive assistant for the Saints in 2015 and then as defensive coordinator.

Under Allen’s leadership, the Saints did not make the playoffs.

In an interview with Ed Daniels, Allen said “I’m gonna do this my way.”


Allen was the 17th head coach of the New Orleans Saints franchise.

Which organ of the body can grow back if some of it is removed?

 Heart

 Lungs

 Liver

 Kidney



The organ that can grow back if some of it is removed is the liver. It is the only organ in the human body with this significant regenerative ability, meaning it can regrow to its original size even after a portion is removed. 

Explanation: When part of the liver is removed, the remaining liver cells multiply and grow to compensate, effectively regenerating the missing tissue.

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

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,November 4

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.

NATIONAL CANDY DAY

On November 4th, we celebrate the sweet holiday, National Candy Day. Candies have a long history of attracting us with their bright colors and delightful flavors. They also come in a variety of fun sizes and shapes.


Candy History

In the late 13th century, Middle English first began using the word candy. Borrowed from the Old French cucre candi, it is derived in turn from Persian Qand and Qandi, cane sugar.

People use the term candy as a broad category. We treat candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows and much more as candy.

However, sugar was not always readily available. So instead, people made the first candies from honey. Candymakers coated nuts, fruits and flowers with honey. This method preserved the flowers and nuts or created forms of candy. Today, we still create these confections, but we typically use them as a garnish.

Originally a form of medicine, candy calmed the digestive system or cooled a sore throat. At that time, combined with spices and sugar, candy only appeared in the purses and the dishes of the wealthy.

By the 18th century, the first candy likely came to America from Britain and France. At the time, people made the simplest form of candy from crystallized sugar - rock candy. However, even the most basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and only attainable by the wealthy.

Since 1979, the world has produced more sugar than can be sold, making it very attainable and cheap. 

Candy Inventions

With the advent of the industrial revolution, many advances improved the availability of sugar. By the 1830s, markets opened, and the candy business underwent a drastic change. Not only did the price of candy drop, but penny candies targeted children.

  • 1847 – Oliver R. Chase invents and patents the first candy press in America. The Boston inventor's creation made making different lozenge shapes possible
  • 1851 – Confectioners begin using a revolving steam pan to assist in boiling sugar.
  • 1897 - William Morrison and John C. Wharton from Nashville invent the first cotton candy machine. At the time, the fluffy puffs of spun sugar were called Fairy Floss. 

Unforgettable Candies 

  • M & M's - Forrest Mars, Sr., and William Murrie developed these milk chocolate drops with the colorful candy coating following the Spanish Civil War. They stamped the new candy with the initials of their surnames. In 1941, they debuted the candies, and soon after, American soldiers serving in the Second World War received them as part of their rations. 
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - Hershey's company first manufactured these round chocolate disks filled with sweet, creamy peanut butter filling in 1928.
  • Christmas Candies - These hard candies come in the shape of ribbons or lozenges (thank you Oliver R. Chase!) and add a sweet, colorful memory to the holiday season. 
  • Necco Wafers - Despite being chalky and not too sweet, this candy still tops many people's lists.
  • PEZ - Not only does this tiny candy hit the sweet spot, but it also comes with a dispenser that often represents other iconic and inspirational characters.
  • Lifesavers - Another hard candy, this sweet circular lozenge with a hole in it finds its way into mom's purse and the stocking hung on the mantel.

In the late 1970s, the Saints were so bad that the fanbase started a trend that has endured in the NFL and even in other sporting leagues and college athletics. That trend was fans coming to games with paper bags over their heads, eye holes and mouth holes cut out, sometimes blinged up and with some statement of futility scrawled in magic marker or painted on a bag.

Paper or Plastic?

Once up a time, paper bags were much more commonplace. That’s what you brought home with you when you’d been out making groceries. Many younger Saints fans have likely never even heard the question “paper or plastic?” It’s not even clear where you’d get a paper bag these days, and you’d look mighty silly trying to pull off the bag on the head thing with your paper from Fresh Market or Whole Foods.

To Protect or Not to Protect: Major Coastal Projects that will Protect New Orleans are on the Line

New Orleans continues to experience rapid coastal land loss, deteriorating critical protection needed in the face of rising seas and stronger storms. While major plans are in place for large-scale restoration projects to help New Orleans build resilience, these projects are not guaranteed and unfortunately, several of them are at a standstill. Join us to learn what is at stake and how you can help ensure that these projects get built for the people, wildlife and economy of the Greater New Orleans region. Sign-up opportunity for educational coastal field trips will be available.

Quality of Life: City Services that Impact You Daily

Get out your lederhosen, spruce up your dirndls and prepare to eat and drink German style — It’s time for Oktoberfest at Middendorf’s!  Oktoberfest is an annual tradition that runs for 6 weeks, every Wednesday and Thursday, at Middendorf’s Manchac and Middendorf’s Slidell. It starts on Oktober 2, 2024 and ends on November 7, 2024. That’s right… Oktoberfest is so much fun that it spills over into November!  

There is a different Oktoberfest meal available each week (while supplies last):

APPETIZERS

  • Kartoffelpuffer mit Apfel Sosse 8.75  (German Potato Pancake with Apple Sauce)
  • Maultaschen in Brühe mit Gerösteten Zwiebeln 10.95  (German Ravioli in Broth)
  • Nürnbergerle 10.25 (3 small Bratwust with Sauerkraut and Pretzel)
  • Riesenbrezel 10.00  (Giant Pretzel with mustard)
  • Vesper Teller 14.50  (Assorted meats & cheeses served with pickle, radish, onion, mustard and pretzel)
  • Weisswurst 10.25  (White Sausage served with pretzel and sweet mustard)
  • Wurstsalat 9.25  (Chopped German Salami, Cold Cuts, Cheeses, Pickles and Onion tossed in Vinaigrette)
  • It’s the Chef’s Choice which appetizers will be available each week. Stay tuned!


ENTREES & DESSERTS (A different meal is available each week of Oktoberfest.)



  • 10/30/24 & 10/31/24 — Schweinshaxe, Bayerischkraut und Brezel 21.50  (Pork Hind Shank/Ham Hock, Smothered Cabbage and Pretzel);  Apfel Strudel mit Vanille Eis 7.25  (Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream)

11/6/24 & 11/7/24 — Wiener Schnitzel und Geröstet Semmelknödel mit Pilzrahmsoße, Gemischtem Salat und Brezel  19.50  (Breaded Thin Pork Loin and Dumpling with Mushroom Cream Sauce, Salad and Pretzel);  Schwarzwälderkirschtorte 7.25 (Black Forest Cake)

The German expertise comes from Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer who is a native of Germany.  He grew-up in the hamlet of Bächlingen where his family still lives today.  The village was established in 950 AD and boasts a grand population of around 150 people.

“It’s an honor to share my German heritage with everyone through the recipes that I grew up with,” said Middendorf’s Owner Horst Pfeifer.  “I think Louis Middendorf would have been so happy to see Oktoberfest here at the restaurant.  Louis was also from Germany, and he founded Middendorf’s back in 1934 with his wife, Josie.  It’s funny because Middendorf’s is so widely known for seafood that a lot of people don’t realize that Middendorf is actually a German name.”  

  • During Oktoberfest, there is a different German meal available each week for lunch and dinner, 10:30am-9:00pm (while supplies last).  Guests who eat an Oktoberfest meal for all six weeks will receive an Oktoberfest Prize!  Punch cards must be punched each week and turned in on the final week.  
  • The full regular menu is also available for guests. So, you can have a German meal, and your friend can have the Thin Fried Catfish. Everyone’s happy! 
  • Of course, we have a great selection of German beer and liqueur to go with your German meal (see below).
  • Authentic German music is also in store for Oktoberfest. We’ll have live accordion music every night of Oktoberfest, 4:30pm-8:30pm. In Manchac, David C. Symons will join us. In Slidell, Will Robichaux will play for the 1st week, and then for the next 5 weeks, it will be Greg Speck (aka Captain Squeeze). 
  • Join in the fun by dressing up in your favorite lederhosen, dirndls and German accessories just like our front of house staff. We’ll have a great variety of hats and souvenirs in our gift shop.

FNWS

This week, we have a special tasting combining a Trust Your Importer and a Meet & Greet event in one! Importers, La Luz Selections, carefully curates wine from producers emphasizing authenticity, sustainability, and a strong sense of terroir. Their portfolio highlights winemakers who practice organic, biodynamic, or natural farming and winemaking methods, ensuring minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Their diverse portfolio tends to feature small-scale, artisanal European producers with an emphasis on Spain & Portugal.

Kerin Auth Bembry, founder of La Luz, has built a strong reputation as an expert in Spanish wines after spending extensive time in Spain and developing close relationships with winemakers across the country. Her deep knowledge of the regions and indigenous grape varieties has made her a champion of small, family-owned wineries that produce wines with a focus on terroir, sustainability, and tradition. Through her import business, she has helped bring a wide array of natural and organic Spanish and Portuguese wines to the American market that showcase the diverse styles of the regions.

We are excited to have Kerin join us for Friday Night Wine School, focusing on her imports from Spain and Portugal. We'll be tasting 5 unique and approachable wines, authentic representations of indigenous varieties and local traditions. We hope you'll join us! 4 spots remaining, go here for tickets: - La Luz Selections - Importer/Winemaker Tasting, Spain & Portugal with Kerin Auth Bembry

This will be the second consecutive game LSU will play on ABC in primetime.

Billy Nungesser Lt. Governor of Louisiana 

For the fourth consecutive year, Louisiana will showcase its vibrant culture in the 2025 Tournament of Rose Parade in Pasadena, California! This year’s float, featuring a Louisiana alligator adorned with beads, a Cajun dance hall, and pots of boiled seafood, perfectly captures the essence of a “Louisiana Saturday Night.” Plus, enjoy mid-parade entertainment by rising country star Timothy Wayne!

We can’t wait to share Louisiana’s celebratory spirit and unique culture with the world once again.


Super Bowl LIX may happen more than three weeks before Fat Tuesday, but the host committee wants to make sure the city -- and the throngs of visitors in town for the NFL's championship game -- get the carnival experience.

The day before the game, February 8, there will be a Mardi Gras-style parade complete with elaborate floats, marching bands, and throws.

Our partners at NOLA.com report details of the parade are still being finalized, but float-builder Barry Kern says it will likely be a 20-float parade made up of signature floats from various krewes.

And because it is not an official carnival parade, corporate sponsors will also be a part of it.

Todd Graves, founder of Baton Rouge-based Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, will serve as grand marshal.

Rather than follow one of the traditional Mardi Gras routes, the Super Bowl parade will line up on Elysian Fields in the Marigny, parade up Decatur Street along the French Quarter, then take Tchoupitoulas St. to Poydras, turn up to St. Charles Ave., then proceed along St. Charles to St. Joseph St. just before reaching Harmony Circle.

Just two days after Super Bowl LIX, Jefferson Parish will celebrate its 200th birthday on Feb. 11. Bicentennial festivities kicked off at the State of Jefferson address Tuesday with the unveiling of the official poster, depicting a pelican before the Mississippi River in vivid pink and blue hues. It is illustrated by Louisiana artist Becky Fos, known for designing the 2023 state "I Voted" sticker, modeled after the Louisiana state flag.



A limited supply of signed and numbered posters can be purchased for $150, with proceeds going toward the Jefferson Community Foundation.



Courtesy of Jefferson Parish

The parish will celebrate the bicentennial on Feb. 11 with a Light the Night event, followed by a community-wide king cake party at Lakeside Mall on Feb. 15.

The following month, a bicentennial-themed Senior Expo will take place at the Alario Center on March 20, and a "Park to Park" 10K run will happen March 22 at Lafreniere Park.

Festivities for the parish's 200th birthday will come to a close June 14 with the Bicentennial Ball at Lakeside Mall, hosted by the Jefferson Community Foundation. Lee Sheng said she wanted parish events to involve the entire community and asked residents and local business owners to get involved.


"I want our bicentennial to feel like everybody's a part of it," Lee Sheng said in her address.
