Their starting line up consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, all who were part of the championship team last year. This experienced combination of players will be a lethal hit to any team that is in their way. Russ Smith is the driving force that propels this team. He has all the skills it takes to keep the team together and has helped amass such a great run at the end of their season, with a 42-point outbreak against Houston two weeks earlier. The Louisville Cardinals are not going down this year; they will fly all the way to the top.
It was to be a joyous celebration, to be observed throughout the generations. The feast would lasted for 8 days and on that last day; part of the ritual involved a priest taking water from the pool of Siloam and then take it into the altar and pour it onto the altar. Many believe this was when Jesus spoke “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink, He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water’” (John7:37-38). The Feast of Tabernacles was basically a fall festival, celebrating the abundance of God’s blessings in connection with the ingathering of the fall harvest. It is also a memorial of the Exodus, when the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, living in tabernacles, or tents, en route to the Promised Land.
“El dia de los muertos.” “El dia de los muertos,” or as we know it in English “the day of the dead,” is a tradition originating in Mexico. This tradition is celebrated every November 1st and 2nd, dating back as far as 3,000 years. The people who celebrate this tradition believe that the veil between the living realm and dead realm is lifted and that they can commune with their deceased friends and relatives. These people also believe that their deceased friends and relatives are insulted if they are mourned on this day, which is the reason that this holiday consists of dancing, eating, and celebrating. The historical roots of “el dia de los muertos” stretch back to pre-hispanic cultures of Mesoamerica, including the Nahua, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Tolecas, the Tlaxcaltec, the Chichimec, and the Tecpanec.
Turner Maxwell While their horses trotted, local riders tied down their preseason nerves at The Fourth Annual Ice Breaker Schooling Show hosted by The Oregon Horse Center last weekend. “If they have any jitterbugs going into competition, they can get them out here,” said facility manager Heather Engstrom. The Ice Breaker was a developmental show, meaning it was a practice competition. The show gave nearly 30 riders a stress free competition before they headed into their 2012 horse show season. For seven year-old Olivia Santee, it was her first time competing on a full size horse.
From the cake, to the dress, to learning how to dance, both weddings and Quinceaneras take a long time to prepare. Most of the preparations are done where the family puts forth the money while friends organize and coordinate the party. Each celebration has a number of participants also known as the damas or bridesmaids. This court of people is there to help and support their friends through this oncoming journey. The cake, usually great in size and color, is topped by a figure of the person whom is being celebrated.
In the city I live, Cali, Colombia, every December we have the “Cali Fair”. There are a lot of activities people can do, and personally, I really enjoy this Fair, because there are concerts, Horseback Riding, several places where you can go and dance and everything is on sale because there are a lot of tourists, so everything gets cheaper. Unfortunately, in this Fair there is also bullfighting. As I said before, I can’t understand how people can enjoy this atrocious act, and actually I have friends who go to bullfights. When I asked them why they would go to bullfights and they would tell me that the energy you feel in the bullring is amazing.

By Wendy Smith (Reproduced by permission from the January-February 1996 issue of Civilization magazine) For days, Harlem residents strolling anywhere between Lexington Avenue and Broadway from 125th to 140th Streets had seen the word "MACBETH" stenciled in glowing paint at every corner. New York's African-American community had been discussing the new production by the Federal Theater Project's Negro Unit with mingled pride and anxiety for months, and by opening night on April 14, 1936, anticipation had reached a fever pitch. At 6:30 p.m., 10,000 people stood as close as they could come to the Lafayette Theatre on Seventh Avenue near 131st Street, jamming the avenue for 10 blocks and halting northbound traffic for more than an hour. Spotlights swept the crowd as mounted policemen strove to keep the entrance to the theater open for the arriving ticket holders, an integrated group of "Harlemites in ermine, orchids and gardenias, Broadwayites in mufti," as the New York World-Telegram noted the next day. Every one of the Lafayette's 1,223 seats was taken; scalpers were
The Professional Bull Riders was formed to advance bull riding in urban areas, throughout a season long tour. (Meyers, Michael C.) By the 1930’s it was shown that the sport of rodeo had surpassed many other events in its spectator attendance. Some of these events included baseball and auto racing. In 1949 the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) then brought rodeo to the academic level. It was then followed in 1961 by National Little Britches Rodeo Association and the National High School Rodeo Association for junior and adolescent ranks.

Then when it’s over people have barbeques outside Where the floats just passed by, people cook chicken, hotdogs, ribs, and much more. Finally when everyone is done they go home with bags full of beads and stuffed animals and see how much they have and maybe throw some next year. Mardi Gras has been a tradition in Louisiana for many years. There are a lot of floats that pass by on Mardi Gras.
