101891
Mardi Gras refers to a specific day ("Fat Tuesday"), the day before Lent begins ("Ash Wednesday").  It's associated with New Orleans.\n\nCarnival is a celebration that occurs in the week leading up to Lent, but has no specific date attached to it.  It's associated with Latin and Italian cultures.

There is no real difference in cart and indy.  Nascar is just stock car racing.  Iroc all the cars are exactly the same so it comes down to the driver.  LeMans is mostly Daytona Prototypes, GT1,GT2,and GT3 cars they all run at the same time.  The race is 24 hrs long.  So it comes to what team completed the most laps in the 24 hour time period.  Now F1 cars are almost like indy and cart cars the only thing different is the amount of horsepower.  Well thats all I know. I hope it helps.

Night is better than day. At night a veil of mystery shrouds everything and everyone. At night anything is possible, truth is relative and you can dance as madly as you like because in the night everyone is beautiful.

I assume u want a carival with rides, games and such.  There are many small carnivals that travel the country or regionaly.  Some of these have websites with info or others work through brokers. Fees and/or percentages vary between operators. The best starting point would be to see who in your area might have had a carnival and what they went through or thought about who they booked. You can learn alot very quickly that way. It also helps to have someone to help with experiance because sometimes the carnivals don't need anything from the sponsoring group except the land to set up on and their fees. Other times there may be complicated or unusual requirments the carnival will need the sponsor to arrange. Also there are many fine carnival operators with steller records, but I would want to know the saftey record of the rides and such and if they have had any serious business, contractual or insurance problems to consider. State Officals can sometimes be of help in your state or the state where the carival is headquartered, but many states do not regulated carnivals in the areas of ride saftey.  I hope this helps and it sounds like a great event for your church!

Fear Factor is redundant, same types of challenges, different people. There is not too much different in terms of performances. It also does not seem authentic. \n\nAmerican idol has good variety in performances and is pleasant to hear some of the songs and nice to see a twist of creativity once in a while. So, I'd have to go with American Idol.

This was answered a couple days ago.\nMardi Gras (mär´dē grä) , last day before the fasting season of Lent. It is the French name for Shrove Tuesday. Literally translated, the term means "fat Tuesday" and was so called because it represented the last opportunity for merrymaking and excessive indulgence in food and drink before the solemn season of fasting. In the cities of some Roman Catholic countries the custom of holding carnivals for Mardi Gras has continued since the Middle Ages. The carnivals, with spectacular parades, masked balls, mock ceremonials, and street dancing, usually last for a week or more before Mardi Gras itself. Some of the most celebrated are held in New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Nice, and Cologne

a carnival is like a day where people go to like a church where they have different games for kids to play, food to eat, some have silent auctions, music, rides for kids to ride on. It is a fun time. I go to alot of them. \nThere is also I think something called carnival glass. Real colorful glass.

I grew up in a small town that still did (and still does) May Day celebrations including electing a May Queen and May Pole dances. I really wish more communities would do this since it is loads of fun. I still go back every year to see the parade and go to the carnival. I haven't been to watch the May Pole dance in years.

It depends on what kind of person you are and who youre going with.\nUniversal Studios beats disney with rides but Disney has more and better attractions and games.

We just celebrated Mardi Gras in Indianapolis of February 10th to the 12th. We had floats, people were dressed up and everyone had a mask. The people with the floats threw candy, coins, nceklaces, and other things. If was a lot of fun.

Zouk is the music that is played in the French speaking Carribean Islands ie . St. Marten, Haiti, Guadloupe it is basically Calypso in French/patois\n\nSoca is a slower form of Calypso because of its soulful influence. Calypso rythms are usually fast a frenetic while soca allows you to "groove & 'wine" to the music.

In New Orleans on Fat Tuesday! haha, but seriously check out the jazz section in your local cd store like FYE or Tower Records or something, you'll see loads of Mardi Gras music, but I would recommend instead of that one song to peruse some of Dr. John's music, you'll thank me later.

Difference is what makes the world go 'round.\nJust stick to your guns no matter how bad (or good) your team is. (and watch where you wear your packers jersey).
