OUT 300-STL-TIDBITZ AND MORE!


STL-TIDBITZ
Hey all in all. How was your Turkey break? Did you kill the bird then went shopping on Black Friday or on the ‘net during this Cyber week? Me? I just ate. Meanwhile, the newz ish that’s goin on here in the STL keeps on. The big newz item was Mizzou being ranked as No. 1 this past week after their win to Kansas City last Saturday at the Mizzou Arena. Missouri - fresh of Saturday’s 36-28 victory over Kansas in Kansas City on Saturday night - had been voted No. 1 football team in the nation in the Associated Press (and its b-ball team got top honors as well) Top 25 and No. 2 in the coaches poll, and the Tigers are one victory away from their first-ever national championship. To reach the national title game, Missouri (11-1) will have to avenge its loss to Oklahoma (10-2) in the Big 12 championship game this Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio. It was reported that over 80, 00 folk attended the game and several thousand tailgated outside of the Arena. Me? I saw the action with some buddies at 609 and I must say it was a thrill to see the victory as I inhaled some spicy chicken winges and jumbo fries and a Crown Royal.


The No., 1 status was bittersweet when the St Louis Rams lost at home to the Seattle Seahawks 24-19 at the Edward Jones Dome last Sunday making them 2-9 (and resulting in QB Marc Bulger concussion and early exit from the game and bringin in backup quarterback Gus Frerotte). But in brighter news, it was announced Wednesday that former Rams running back Marshall Faulk will have his #28 jersey retire during halftime at the Pittsburgh Steelers game at the Edward Jones Dome on Dec. 20. The festivities is part of a "two-pack"with the game called “Celebrate 28”. Faulk officially retired in March. ………………


Things are still heating up with the city’s appointment of new fire chief Dennis Jenkerson last week, namely the African American firefighter’s organization F.I.R.E. The organization as of this writing was calling a press conference to express their rejection to Jenkerson. The organization wants ousted fire chief Sherman George reinstated, rejects the city appointing an African American to the reinstated Assistant Chief position and is crying FOUL on the official fire union and Mayor Francis Slay’s conclusion that there was no cheating involved in the placement test for promotions this year which resulted in George’s demotion after George’s refusal to promote in the department after his claim of the tests being racially biased. Meanwhile F.I.R.E’s representative Captain Abram Pruitt (SEEN IN PIC ABOVE IN CENTER HOLDING CHECK) was interviewed on Fox 2’s Morning Show Tuesday and spoke out against the city’s appointment of Jenkerson whom they feel is in cahoots with Slay, there is distrust amongst the white and black firefighters and it can prove cheating did take place on the test sites. Pruitt said , “At the test site, members of the fire department brought in papers and wearing jackets with FIRE union pens to id themselves.” Pruitt also said its organization was not given the opportunity to come to the table to voice their opinion to appoint a new fire chief. Looks like F.I.R.E. is about to fire it up in the STL. Beware of the smoke. Hello. ………… Gov. Matt Blunt crisscrossed the state Monday to the STL announcing plans to expand his crackdown on illegal immigration. Specifically no illegal immigrants can be issued driver’s licenses and there will be penalties to those who help immigrants receive licenses. Well, I guess in lieu of Presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Clinton’s knee-jerk remark of support of immigrant’s receiving licenses then quickly recanting, Blunt, who is Rep., must be trying hard to win votes. But my question is, if there was a high percentage of illegal immigrants in Missouri, would Blunt speak the same tune? Cuz it takes driving to get to the polls to vote. Okay? In unrelated news, Blunt will receive the Exellence in Education Award at this year's annual Yes I Can banquet conducted by the now defunct African American newspaper, The St. Louis Sentinnel on Dec. 3





St. Louis native /Baby Phat mogul Kimora Lee Simmons got sued last week when Department store giant Macy's filed suit against Simmons for allegedly overpricing the retailer for her beauty products line. Simmons did not comment on the accusation and refused to reimburse Macy's for the extra charge. According to reports, Simmons signed an agreement September of last year to provide Macy's with her beauty line, KLS. In unrelated news, Kimora has been reported as saying she wants to have a “bay-bay” with boyfriend actor/model Dijmon Honsou’s for X-mas and she ain’t even waiting until her ink signature dry from her divorce from Russell to start. Now the question is, is she gonna have the trial and her hubby on her reality show Life in the Fab Lane. Now that's reality there.


Hall of Fame Cards Short Stop Ozzie Smith is campaigning to try and get legendary Cards manager Whitey Herzog on the list for the Baseball Hall of Fame. When asked on Fox 2 Morning News Tuesday, if it was possible that Herzog’s chances of getting in he said, "Hopefully its good. George Brett and I are working hard t get people to understand because sometimes if you never played for a person its hard for other guys to grasp what it is…Were all campaigning and he’s very deserving.” In unrelated news, Smith was a part of an event the 14 th annual Dining for Life that took place Tuesday where his restaurant Ozzie’s, whose establishment participated for the six years, along with over 120 other restaurants donated parts or all of their proceeds to St. Louis effort for AIDS. Over the past 13 years, dining out for life has raised more than $1 million. And speaking of Cards managers Tony LaRaussa just plead guilty of DUI St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa pleaded guilty to driving under the influence Wednesday, eight months after police found him asleep inside his running sport utility vehicle at a stop light and smelling of alcohol. Reportedly, La Russa said he had decided to plead guilty to the misdemeanour because it was “in the best interest of all concerned.” As part of his plea agreement, La Russa will serve at least six months' probation, pay a US$678.50 fine, complete DUI school and any recommended treatment and complete 50 hours of community service, according to state prosecutors.La Russa--who is shown in a drunken stupor in a police video tape of his DUI test that has just been released to the media-- was arrested in March in Jupiter, where the Cardinals play spring training games.......................................Well teh Countdown to the I-64 is slightly coming upon us and some of its wrath will begin next month. Weekends beginning December 7 and 14, after the traffic shift is complete the first weekend, crews will spend the next two weekends demolishing the old Kingshighway bridge. Beginning at 10 p.m. on Friday, December 7, there will be a full closure of I-64 in both directions at Kingshighway Boulevard for the demolition of the old Kingshighway bridge over I-64. This closure will be in effect until 5:30 a.m.on Monday, December 10. The same full closure of I-64 in both directions at Kingshighway Boulevard will occur the weekend of Dec 14-17.For both weekends, crews will begin restricting lanes on I-64 after rush hour at 6:30 p.m. Friday. All lanes will be closed by 10 p.m. just before crews start mechanically tearing down the bridge and clean up the debris.Throughout both weekends, all I-64 traffic will be detoured up and over Kingshighway Boulevard using the entrance and exit ramps. There will be no additional closures of side streets or lanes closures on I-64during the old Kingshighway bridge demolition but motorist are encouraged to use alternate routes tothis area when possible.Travelers can get up-to-the-minute traffic information on interstates or major state routes by dialing 5-1-1 from most cell phones; if 5-1-1 isn't available from your carrier, please dial 877-478-5511.................Well two cars that has already felt the earth move sort of speak was the bizarre accident that occurred as two cars got sunk down by a sink hole in Florrisant! It happened Tuesday in the parking lot of the CFM Store on Florissant Road at Woodstock. Two cars parked in the lot suddenly fell into the hole Monday night. A woman trapped in her car was rescued by firefighters. She was not injured but was taken to the hospital for observation. Talk about an inconvenience after who paid for the inconvenience of paying for high gas! Speaking of cars and parking lots and going into stores, before going to check out This Christmas at the Esquire last Saturday, I saw the van of State Rep Jamila Nasheed (which had logos and pics of Nasheed) parked in the parking lot of Walgreen’s in Clayton. I was trying to see what she may have bought while in there, but couldn’t find her and when I left out of Walgreen’s and so was the van. I guess she was getting poster boards for the next rally that for her and her group Recall for Mayor Slay. Okay!......






Congrats are in store for several St. Louis area artists and shakers . Wizard of Oz actor and St. Louis native Mickey Carroll received a star on the Walk of Fame He along with seven of the over 100 diminutive actors who played Munchkins in the legendary film was awarded the Hollywood Walk of Fame after 7- years of lobbying for them. The Riverfront Times ran a story earlier this year about Carroll’s hopes for a star, now he has one. Now the problem is the star for Carroll on the St. Louis Walk of Fame which the article addressed Carroll’s dismay and St. Louis Walk of Fame proprietor Joe Edwards not relenting to make it happen. Well hopefully this would change Edwards’ mind………………






The second honor goes to East St. Louis native, the legendary award winning poet and educator (and my former mentor) Eugene B. Redmond who will be retiring form his tenure at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville in the university’s English Department(I was a student of his in 1991) . Redmond came to SIUE in 1991 after leaving his teaching duties in Sacramento where he taught for over 20 years.

I hear that the backers of the flick had some bad blood with the Missouri Tourism Board with certain tax credits to pay for the right to film the flick in the Lou…………Speaking of films shot here in the STl, there is about to be one that is about to be shot here in the STL. The film, "Ligeia," is a contemporary re-telling of one of Edgar Allen Poe's most famous short stories. It will be shooting in this Friday through Dec. 19.

Hmmm, the TV news folk awaits.........................Happy belated B-day Jameela E (El-Amin) . of So Diverse.

Well local mover and shaker, Tony Thompson of the Kwame Building Group, is in a Gillette ad in this magazine with Michael Jackson on the cover………..A speedy recovery goes out to local singer and Café Soul creator Rochelle “Coco Soul” Walker, who was involved in a car accident Thanksgiving morning when a drunk driver hit her car from the back and totaling her car. She is OK just suffering back spasms. She hosted last Friday’s monthly Café Soul at Lucas House and was taking “lots of Advil” to numb the pain. Take it easy sista girl...................

And lastly,










OUTTOWN gives its sympathies to the families of three victims of violent deaths in recent events. The first being the homicide of aspiring hip hop artist, Gary Smith aka LG who was gunned down on a last Friday south St. Louis street on the corner of Texas and Utah after hangin with some friends at a party. Reports say his mother believes he may have been the victim of a robbery. The rapper had just signed a record deal. One of his underground mix tape songs on Lou Bound Records was, “Make Room.” The other two was the deaths of two teenage sisters Jessica Uhl, 18, and her sister, Kelli, 13, both of Collinsville,who had just were identified Saturday as those killed when an Illinois state trooper lost control of his car and struck their vehicle. The sisters were heading west on Interstate 64 near the Scott Air Force Base exit when Trooper Matt Mitchell's patrol car crossed the median and struck their car. State police say Mitchell, 29, was responding to a vehicle crash with people trapped inside. His lights and siren were on, police said.



MIA(MISSING IN ACTION) FILE— Where is former City 10 producer Yolanda Curry?
MIA FOUND—Last Friday at the Café Soul event at the Lucas House, I ran into Clifford Wade of the local record label Spin City Recordz. I haven’t seen him in months (I can’t recall the alst time but it had to have been in earrrrrrrrrrrrrrrly 2006), but he said that he is back and that he had a few setbacks trying to get deals with his artist, names Jzanell. It took him for a loop of the cutthroat tactics of the music biz, but he says that he is OK.
BLIND ITEMZ—Which local mover and shaker kissed the wall and then the floor of a newly opened bar in North County over the Thanksgiving break? (Hint. It’s the same mover and shaker who kissed the strobe light at the Halloween house party and the venue is listed below in the EVENT-TIDBITZ section)

As you may or may not already know, I’ve decided to finally start working on my album and become an artist. So I recently uploaded some of my video footage on YouTube. I’m sending you this link because I would like your honest opinion on a showcase I did in Denver, CO. It’s three different videos, including the live version of me performing Jill Scott’s hit “is it the way”,(Of course I’m doing it my way.) Love changes, (by Mothers finest) and my original “holding on”. Please check it out, tell me what you think, and if you want you can pass it on. Yes I’m trying to create a buzz, but I also want to improve so I can be the best artist that I can be in this business.

[b]Description[/b]

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.deutafilm.ru]buy generic viagra online in canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
