Allow me to introduce Mr. Mayberry, Lyrical Artist, Entrepreneur, Husband, Father, and Educator…

His latest Album ALL FOLKS MUSIC is for Errbody….literally! When I first heard the album I found myself bobbin my head to the beat as soon as the first track hit the speakers. You know the album is hot when you love it the first time you hear it! Track after track gave me something different…Hip Hop, jazz funk, up-tempo, melodic lyrical bliss, smooth vocals…there is something for the young and old. This brotha speaks on the highs and lows of life... He paints a vivid picture of his transformation from explicit lyrics to messages aimed at the youth to keep striving and holding on to their dreams. From humble beginnings to much success, Mr. Mayberry is still grinding and providing the blueprint for the youngsters that are following in his footsteps.. Very seldom do you find music you can play in the club and around the kids. Ear candy at its finest!

Craft project::Aquariums in a bottle!







This craft project was a huge hit with my students! Its so hands on and it incorporates measurement, and a science lesson on marine biology. (I omitted the glitter) I got this idea from kaboose.com
Here’s a science project that is also a fun craft. Create your very own ocean waves in a plastic soda bottle. A perfect summer craft.

For more great warm-weather activities, check out our listing of Summer Crafts.

What you'll need:
Empty two liter plastic bottle with lid
Clear vegetable oil or mineral oil
Water
Funnel
Blue food coloring
Small star fish, shells and other sea creatures
One tsp glitter
White craft glue
Hot glue

How to make it:
Wash and dry bottle and remove all labels.
Fill bottle halfway with tap water.
Add a few drops of blue food coloring and swirl around to mix.
Add glitter and sea creatures.
Using a funnel, fill the rest of the bottle with vegetable oil.
Be sure that rim and cap are dry, then apply white craft glue around the rim. Seal cap.
Use a layer of hot glue around the outer edge of the cap for added protection from leakage.
Turn bottle on its side and gently rock the bottle to create a “wave” inside your ocean habitat!

Tips:

Use lightweight starfish, shells and other sea creature toys that can float. Test them first in a bowl or glass of water. Find these at your local craft supply store or discount department store.
Make the ocean any color you choose! Blue is standard of course, but if your child’s room is decorated with red and yellow, go with red food coloring. There’s no rule that says your ocean must be blue.

Small children will be mesmerized by this creation. They can help make this every step. Let them insert the sea creatures, hold the funnel and help add the tap water. In the steps that may be more difficult for little fingers, have them hold the bottle steady for you while you add the glitter.

Jennifer Hudson is the latest celebrity to mug in the "Got Milk?" campaign, sporting the signature milk moustache paired with a glamorous metallic blouse, purple jacket, dangling hoop earrings and her giant engagement ring.


The 28-year-old Oscar winner's new ad reads: "Center stage, silver screen, joyful new mom. How do I keep this show on the road? Milk. Its wholesome goodness helps make my family strong at every stage. Talk about a powerful performance."
"I definitely want to have that [milk] on my kitchen table," Hudson, mother to baby David, says in a behind-the-scenes video.

Paper or Plastic?





Plastic did not exist in the ocean half a century ago. Our grandparents lived just fine with glass, metal, paper and wood to package and transport everything we touched. But again, the issue is not that we choose paper over plastic. The choice is about living responsibly within the means of what can be sustained environmentally and economically. In the big picture it is about creating systems of government, commerce and community development that will sustain a healthy economy, environment and quality of life for all people far into the future. 120 billion pounds of plastic produced annually with limited to no post-consumer use is not sustainable. It is not a morally acceptable burden to place on the next generation. Paper or Plastic? Bring your own bag.
