Courtesy of The NEW Coast 96.7, here is the public service announcement for the 2010 Women Against MS (WAMS) Luncheon of Fairfield County, featuring former American Idol contestant and singer/songwriter David Osmond. The 27th annual event takes place Friday, May 7, at the Greenwich Country Club in Greenwich. For Osmond, multiple sclerosis has been as much a part of his life as music. His father, Alan Osmond, was a member of the famed Osmond Brothers singing group and has battled MS for more than two decades. In 2005, the younger Osmond took ill and, after initially being diagnosed with West Nile Virus, was then diagnosed with MS a year later. Once unable to walk, perform or play his guitar, Osmond regained his function and mobility over time to the point he was a contestant during the 2009 season of American Idol. To learn about the WAMS Luncheon of Fairfield County or to register, please visit www.nationalmssociety.org For more on the NEW 96.7 The Coast FM, please visit 967thecoast.com

Lakeside Pottery uses this project to provide instant gratification in the first class or two where it increases self confidence and interest to learn more about pottery. What is needed: 1) Clay 2) Pin tool 3) Slip Step by step: 1) Form two equal sized balls of clay, approximately 1/2 pound each. 2) Hold ball in left hand and push right thumb into the middle of the ball leaving about 1/4" - 1/2" thickness at the bottom. 3) Slowly and evenly pinch the clay, starting at the bottom rotating the ball, moving toward the top edge. Leave about 1/4" thickness at edge. 4) Once both pinch pots have been created, score with a pin tool both edges. 5) Apply slip heavily to one pot. 6) Join pots. They might not fit exactly, this is fine. Slide the back of the thumb from one pot over seam onto the other. 7) Once the seam is completely sealed, air is trapped like a balloon and the object can be altered to create desired shape by gently rolling and pressing. 8) To form a head, make another much smaller pinch pot and attach it to body form using the slip and score method described above (not shown). 9) Add legs and feet, always remembering to slip and score everything. 10) To form spines, roll small pieces of clay into approximately 1/2" long coils.
