Oct 16 - On Oct. 16, World Food Day will call attention to the crucial role that family farmers play in creating a more sustainable global food system and it couldnt come at a more opportune time. As the global population approaches 9 billion by the year 2050, nourishing the world and preserving diminishing environmental resources presents a daunting challenge.
Today, nearly 1 billion people go to bed hungry each night. By 2030, its estimated that 47 percent of the world will live in areas of high water stress. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 25 percent of all global land has already been highly degraded and can no longer be used to grow food.
The focus of World Food Day 2013 will be on Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition. More and more evidence is mounting to show that family farmers are at the center of sustainable food production. Smallholder farmers can use agroecological or environmentally friendly farming practices to produce more nutritious foods with often greater yields than conventional farming operations. And with 2014 having been declared the International Year of Family Farming by the U.N. General Assembly, the whole world is poised to celebrate the multitude of ways in which family farmers contribute to food and nutrition security and environmental preservation.
Smallholder farms are more likely to grow diverse, nutrient-rich crops than conventional farms, which tend to focus on starchy cash crops including corn, soy and wheat that are good at filling people up, but dont have much nutritional value.
Small-scale farmers hold the key to cultivating and preserving biodiversity in agriculture. They grow indigenous fruits, vegetables, and legumes all over the world that not only make up diverse, healthy diets, but also provide much-needed nourishment for soils, conserve limited water resources, and cut down on the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, says Danielle Nierenberg, Food Tanks co-founder.
Studies have shown that when family farms start using sustainable methods, they see crop yields that are up to 79 percent higher than those produced by conventional agriculture. This translates to more food for the world, and greater financial security for farmers. An estimated 800 million people working in agriculture around the world live below the poverty line, and approximately half of the worlds hungry are smallholder farmers.
Providing these farmers with the resources that they need to provide food for themselves and their communities will go a long way toward alleviating food insecurity and increasing incomes where most needed, says Ellen Gustafson, co-founder of Food Tank.
These are six crucial ways in which small-scale family farmers cultivating diversified crops are contributing to a food system that both nourishes more people and conserves environmental resources.
1. Improving nutrition and food security Many case studies from Madagascar, Iran, India and Bangladesh have confirmed that diverse diets are correlated with better nutrition, particularly in children. In a landmark study that covered ten countries on three continents, the International Food Policy Research Institute found that diverse diets are positively associated with access to food and increased food security.
2. Preserving biodiversity - In the 20th century alone, 75 percent of the planets genetic resources were lost. FAO warns that losing crop biodiversity poses a serious threat to global food security. By cultivating a wide variety of indigenous crops, small-scale farmers are preserving biodiversity in agriculture.
3. Increasing yields Polyculture operationsfarms growing many different varieties of cropsproduce yields between 20 and 60 percent greater than monocultures.
4. Building soil health Land and soil degradation can cause a loss of nearly 50 percent in crop productivity. But practices such as cover cropping and intercropping can help to rebuild lost nutrients in degraded soil by creating shade and stimulating the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
5. Conserving water Healthy soils are able to absorb water and deliver it to plant roots more effectively than degraded soils, and require less irrigation. By enriching soils through the cultivation of legumes such as the pigeon pea, cowpea and clover, which help to preserve soil moisture through insulation from sun and wind, farmers can cut down on their use of valuable and limited water resources. Cover crops have also been shown to reduce nitrate runoff into groundwater reserves.
6. Mitigating the effects of climate change According to the International Fund for Agricultural Development, diversified and indigenous crops are typically more resilient to extreme weather conditions, including drought, flooding and high temperatures as a result of climate change. And FAO has found that traditional farmers have implemented indigenous and heterogeneous crop varieties as tools to recover from natural disasters. Cultivating a wide variety of species of plants also can help insulate farmers against the risk of plant disease.
To ensure that everyone on the planet has access to sustainable sources of nutritious food, its important that efforts to support small-scale farmers be scaled up on a global level.
Throughout the week of World Food Day, Food Tank will highlight important ways that small-scale farming is helping to build healthier communities and a healthier planet.

National Catholic Youth Choir
National Catholic Youth Choir June 15 - June 30, 2015
Theme: All Ye Nations Praise the Lord
New 2014 CD is here!
The National Catholic Youth Choir (NCYC) was founded in 2000, by program director Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, is sponsored by Saint John's School of Theology·Seminary, and meets on the grounds of Saint John's Abbey and University in Collegeville, Minnesota. The choir began under the motto Spreading the Catholic Faith Through Great Music as a response to the call of Pope John Paul II for a "new evangelization." The choir sings music of various Christian traditions, ranging from medieval Gregorian chant to twentieth-century music and is led by choral conductor, Dr. Axel Theimer. The primary focus of the choir is liturgical. NCYC seeks to implement the directive of Vatican Council II that the "treasury of sacred music" be preserved and fostered in the modern liturgy.Up to 45 students entering grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 from across the United States are selected to participate in the choir based on written applications, formal recommendations, and recorded auditions. The summer camp generally takes place the last two weeks in June and includes extensive choir rehearsals, repertoire-based classes in religion, music theory, and/or music history, recreation, recording a CD, and daily prayer. The choir worships together as a group with the Benedictine monks on campus and with the Benedictine sisters in nearby St. Joseph and conclude each day by singing Compline. The choristers receive cantor training as encouragement for music ministry in their home parishes and throughout their adult life. The two week camp includes a multi-state concert tour with up to seven performances. In past years the choir has sung throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Michigan, Indiana, and Georgia.If your parish is interested in hosting a concert performance please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The registration fee for 2015 is $1100 (less than $69 per day) and includes all meals, lodging and travel during camp and the multi-state concert tour; travel expenses to and from home are not included. Scholarships up to $500, based on financial need, are available. Once accepted participants are encouraged to seek financial assistance through their school, parish council or board, parish women and men's groups such as the Knights of Columbus and youth organizations. These groups, school and/or parish often agree to make a donation or to help raise funds by sponsoring a pancake breakfast, spaghetti dinner, bake sale or garage sale. Local, regional and state art organizations/boards may have grants or scholarships available to help with registration fees or travel expenses. Local businesses may also be willing to assist if asked. NCYC would be happy to list any organization, business or individual donor in the annual concert program and on the NCYC website.
Saint John's University (National Catholic Youth Choir) is a 501(C)(3) exempt corporation.

Right now, I have to study for three exams, all next Tuesday: My med. terminology final, a exam for biology, and a second exam that deals with the biology lab (how to use equipment, what various experimental results mean, etc.). I'm a bit anxious about it, because it seems pretty tough.
Does anyone have any advice on how to study effectively?
I make flashcards online here:
I do that because I am a fast typist (over 100 WPM), so I can generate online flash-cards significantly faster than writing it on paper. And they're quicker to use than writing stuff out on paper or using paper flash-cards. On the flash-cards, I will write terms on one side, or some kind of possible question on the test, and the definition or answer on the other side. I create flash-cards in sets (because the brain learns easier in "chunks", see Wikipedia for that term, or "chunking") and then one massive set, consolidating the previous sets, as a final test of my knowledge.
I notice that listening to certain kinds of classical music helps me concentrate. I've got the room well-lit, too, to keep me awake and alert. And I'm loading up on caffeine (not that I'm going to stay awake late, but caffeine helps me focus a bit too).
When I engage in "cramming," like this, after a few hours, I feel mentally fatigued. When this happens, I will take a break. Studies say that this is useful, because the brain works more effectively at studying when you have a decent break every now and then... But how often and for how long should I take such a break?
I also have a terrible habit of getting distracted, either by videogames or TV when I'm taking a break, or by the web when I'm using my computer to study.

The city of Chicago might not be the most popular city in the world; it may not be as popular as other cities in the United States alone. This does not mean that the city does not have anything to offer though. In fact, Chicago does have a lot of surprises that have in store for you.
Tours allow you to experience the best of Chicago in a practical and affordable way. It's great because you will have a guide around you that will explain in detail every destination you get to visit. At the same time, you will be most likely taking the tour with other tourists as well, so you will get a chance to meet new people who can make the tour that much more fun. You might even get to make new friends as well.
If you are looking for great tours of the Windy City then going online is probably one of the best ways to find one. Vimbly.com offers a wide variety of tours and things to do in Chigaco, and you should be able to find one that will suit your interests. If you are interested in brews and how wits done, you can take a brewery tour of the Lake Effect Brewing Company.
Chicago is also well known for its pizza, so you can take a Pizza Tour which will take you to the city's most popular pizza places and is a tour that you and your stomach will surely love.
If you want to get a bird's eye view of the city skyline, why not go up in the sky where the birds are? Take a helicopter tour of Chicago which will allow you to see all of the city's landmarks in just one trip in the sky, and you get to see the city's beauty from up above as well.

Sergio Perez says he'll head to the Hungaroring with "realistic ambitions" after McLaren returned to the points in Germany.
After back-to-back grands prix outside the top ten, which brought an end to McLaren's run of 64 races inside the points, the Woking team was back in the hunt at the Nurburgring.
While Jenson Button brought his MP4-28 home in sixth place, Perez finished eighth, adding another four points to his tally.
"I'm going to Hungary with realistic ambitions and after a positive weekend at the Nurburgring, we're focused on further improving and understanding MP4-28," said the Mexican driver.
"I think the race in Germany showed that, when things come together, we're able to be a force in the race, even if we can't quite set the pace at the front. That is extremely motivating during a difficult year.
"Hungary is the last race of the first 'half' of 2013; it's the final event before the official summer break, so there's usually a good feeling in the paddock.
"For everybody on the race team, or working back at the MTC, it would be great to send everybody off on their summer holidays with another strong points finish."
Budapest, though, has not been a happy hunting for the former Sauber driver, who has yet to score a F1 point at the Hungaroring
"I haven't had the best results in my two previous outings at the Hungaroring, which is a shame [but] I enjoy the circuit, have usually qualified well there, and think the race is a great event for F1."

Driven: Ronn Motor Company Scorpion, the world's first 'green' supercar
Driving prototypes is practically useless. It's next to impossible to get a feel for what the production version is capable of, and you rarely get a chance to explore the limits. Our time with the Ronn Motor Company Scorpion didn't change that sentiment, but it did give us a glimpse into the upstart's future and how its program is progressing since the concept's introduction at last year's SEMA show. Tooling around Sacramento in the V6-powered, hydrogen-injected roadster, the unmuffled exhaust made us almost as uncomfortable as the lack of seatbelts. But to the company's credit, the Scorp...

Rolemaster Reviews: Robin Hood, Vikings, and Mythic Greece
Robin Hood: A nice fleshing out of Norman England, from after the Battle of Hastings to the rule of King John. As you may expect from the title, the legendary Robin HoThere's some good advice and rules for running an outlaw campaign, and some adventures to round the product out. Really, the rules are the worst part of this product--the source material shines, especially if you love history like I do. At this time, you'll need to find an old print copy, as Iron Crown does not currently offer this title as a pdf.
Vikings: This books was made in two versions: one for Rolemaster, and one for HERO. store. I love the thought of Viking campaigns, but this book wasn't as good as other Viking supplements, such as the one from the RuneQuest line. This is probably the "weak sister" of the three books presented here. Again, good historical content, but I don't know that we ever used the rules portions. Like Robin Hood, this book does not appear to currently be available as a pdf from Iron Crown's site.
Mythic Greece: As with Vikings, two versions of this book (one HERO, one Rolemaster) were printed. This is not really a historical guide, but instead details a Greece passed down to us from myth and legend. I remember using the Hero and Demigod rules to great effect, for playing divinely favored, iconic heroes. The monsters, the cultures presented, and the emphasis on deific interference really help flavor this product for a heroic, fictional Greek campaign of legend. This is one of my favorite books of the lines, and really helped me in planning a campaign involving deities and epic quests that didn't just feel either impossible or a total cakewalk.
Happily, Mythic Greece is available from Iron Crown's online store.
Other supplements in this vein that I did not personally get a chance to check into include Mythic Egypt, Arabian Nights, and Pirates. Pirates seems to get a lot of love for its ship design and combat, though I cannot attest to it personally.

I wonder if the pirate supplement is what lead to their Run Out Your Guns Box Set game?

I'm not sure. I'd love to try that out one day, though!

Mythic Greece is a forgotten classic, in my opinion. I once used the HERO version to write an AD&D adventure for Greek heroes, amazons, etc.
I remember the Pirates and Ancient Egypt being great as well. Pirates provides an excellent primer on real piracy in the Caribbean.

@Zach - ROYG was sort of an odd game. Maybe I'll do a review of it sometime.

Another voice of love for Run Out The Guns - it's a brilliant game which is still ahead of the curve in a number of ways.
Another book along these lines that I think was even stronger still was "At Rapier's Point", the musketeer book. Absolutely fantastic.
Curiously, these genre books took a fascinating turn towards horror as well, with Ken Hite's "Nightmares of Mine" which is almost entirely systemless and is instead an exquisite study of horror.
Also, if you're taking requests for old RM treasures to dust off and holdup, let me put in a vote for "Dark Space" - Written by Monet Cook, art by Dell Harris, wonderful space fantasy goodness.

Of all these the only one our group used was Ancient Egypt. I was a player in that campaign, so I didn't read the text thoroughly; but, I do remember thoroughly enjoying playing in the setting.

If there's one thing RM has enough of, it's rules.
But the source books are magical, and I've adapted them in the past for other campaigns, other systems.
Produced when context and setting were important, and they hadn't been filleted into 'crunch' and 'fluff' yet.

Futsal - the small -sided game equivalent of soccer. Futsal uses a reduced
bounce ball on a small court without walls, which promotes quality touch,
technical and skill development. Futsal compresses essential skills into
a small box, puts players into the " deep practice zone " on the edge of their
comfort zone, making and correcting errors, constantly generating solutions
to challenges. Players touch the ball 600% more and learn far faster,
without realizing it, than in the vast expanse of the outdoor game.

WASHINGTON - As the District continues to battle one of the highest truancy rates in the country, D.C. Councilmembers are considering taking a tougher approach to the growing epidemic.
Councilmember David Catania, at-large Independent, is proposing up to five days in jail for parents of habitual truants, which account for more than 10 percent of students in the District.
"We as a community have no recourse but to have consequences to those adults who would have these children go uneducated," he says. "I believe that is child abuse."
Research shows that students who regularly skip classes are eight times more likely to enter the criminal justice system, he says.
But Councilmember Marion Barry, Ward 8 Democrat, is concerned that jailing parents would only lead to other problems.
"It doesn't work," he says. "Who is going to take care of the kids while they're locked up?"
Four students with experience skipping school also contributed their views during a council hearing Tuesday. They agree with Barry.
"I don't think [the parents] should be arrested because ... it just would make the situation worse," 18-year-old Orlando Armstead says.
The D.C. Council has not set a vote on the truancy bill.

When I found a Snoopy cookie cutter I knew I had to make these cookies. But I didn't want to just make Snoopy cookies. When Mr. Apron and I were watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, I came up with the idea of adding other cookies also inspired by the movie. I had so much fun with this year's theme, Mr. Apron and I have already been making suggestions about what show should be next year's sugar cookie theme.
For the colored lights on the dog house I used sugar pearls. The rest of the cookie is simply royal icing. I outlined and flooded Snoopy first, then the house. Once that was dry I did the details on Snoopy and the lines and lights on the dog house.
The Snoopy cookies are final cookie in this year's theme. I hope that it is a bit more clear how my first two cookies fit into the Charlie Brown Christmas theme. But just incase, here is how I came up with the idea for each cookie.
The first cookies were the snowflake cookies. And I will admit, these were not much of a clue and could have come from many different Christmas shows. But I was really inspired by Charlie Brown.
The second cookie was Christmas Trees in green, pink and blue. These cookies did elicit some guesses. None of the comments on the blog were correct, but several of my co-workers did guess correctly. I really enjoyed having people coming up me in the halls with guesses or wondering if I would fill them. It's nice to know that my friends do read this!
You can see more of this scene here.
And of course the green trees were inspired by the dressed up Christmas tree in the final scene.

WASHINGTON - Fairfax County officials want to bring 911 texting to the county's residents.
Sharon Bulova, chairperson of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, says the county would like to add the option of texting to its existing 911 emergency system if the technical problems can be worked out.
"It looks like an innovative opportunity to offer to people in addition to making to a phone call," Bulova says.
The texting option would allow residents to text a message to emergency responders if they cannot make a telephone call. The text could include a brief message describing where you are and what the emergency is.
"It's not without some difficulties and we just want to make sure the bugs are worked out prior to our adopting something to make sure that it's going to work for our citizens," Bulova says.
A major failure in the region's 911 emergency system during last summer's derecho has led to increased scrutiny of the system's backbone technology and has prompted calls for faster upgrades.
But upgrading to a "next generation" 911 system will take time and the technology is still evolving. Officials envision that in the future, residents will be able to send videos, photos and text messages from any device with Internet access.
In December, the Federal Communications Commission said the country's four largest wireless carriers agreed to relay text messages to 911 centers by 2014. The carriers cover most users, but only a few 911 centers accept the messages.
A 911 center in Iowa began receiving texts in 2009 and trials are currently happening in Vermont.
The FCC said texting to 911 could be useful when a phone call could put the caller in danger. Texting could also aid a person with disabilities who is unable to call.

Youth for Christ auction raises over $65,000
Michael Yoder, South Adams High School Youth for Christ director, was both humbled and excited at the response of area businesses and individuals in creating a team of support for YFC at Saturday's major auction that was held at the Wells County Fairgrounds.
Yoder noted that Saturday's effort raised just over $65,000 towards the general fund of YFC in the local area. Funds generated will go towards staff support and the task of raising support to send directors to school positions where there has not been enough funding to support full-time workers.
"Great," is the word Yoder used to describe Saturday's auction. "We had a wonderful turn out, more people than I ever remember. This will go towards the general fund to help support staff. It also goes into a YFC fund created to raise money for schools that don't have any YFC directors."
Saturday's auction covers YFC work in Jay, Adams and Wells counties. Another auction that will be held in Marion will primarily go towards support in the developing work in Grant and Blackford counties. Yoder noted that the total goal combining the two auctions is $90,000.
Those schools that currently have both high school and middle school directors include South Adams, Adams Central, Norwell, Southern Wells and Jay County high schools. Those with high school directors alone include Bellmont and Bluffton high schools. Other schools in transition include Eastbrook and Marion high schools.
"Even though the economy has still been down, it has been a good year for us," said Yoder. "We've had great support from individuals and many area businesses. It is evident that if people really believe in an organization, they will sacrifice to give and support."
Over 1,000 items and gift certificates were donated toward the auction.
"We are thankful for the financial support, but the real purpose is to raise support so that we can keep reaching kids to come to Jesus," said Yoder, "These items represent the prayers and support of many people. The prayers of God's people are the most powerful support of all."
Yoder heads up the high school work at South Adams and Eric Lehman heads up the middle school work. At Adams Central, Dan Herring heads up the Youth for Christ effort.
Yoder said that YFC staff members meet with a core of student leaders at South Adams for breakfast on Friday morning. Monday nights, Campus Life meets in the homes of different students involved with YFC. In addition, leaders are constantly available for students that would like to talk or that need encouragement.
"We go to lunches and into the libraries to be available for the kids," said Yoder. "We live our lives with the students where they are."
Also, two community prayer rallies are organized each school year, one at the beginning of the year and another at the beginning of the second semester.
"All of Berne comes together to pray for our young people," said Yoder.
Yoder noted that YFC officials and church youth pastors are currently in the process of organizing a two-day rally for area youth.
The director cited an example of a youth who came to him to pray for spiritual healing and to ask Jesus into his life. Within two weeks, Yoder said, that youth led another young person to Christ.
"That's what it's all about, to reach kids for Christ and then for them to reach out and lead others to Christ, disciples making disciples," said Yoder. "Kids' lives are changed and they reach out to others whose lives are changed and they gain the fire and passion to reach others. It's God touching the lives of ordinary people where they are and using them to reach others around them."
"We are so blessed," said Lehman of the auction. "People donate to us and then they come buy. Someone donates a $50 gift certificate for a restaurant and somebody else comes along and buys it for $60 or $70. Why do they do that? They do it because they believe in the mission of Youth for Christ."

|This traditional stewed chicken dish begins with a browned, cut up chicken, that is slow cooked in a roux based gravy.
Southern Stewed ChickenThis Southern Stewed Chicken recipe begins with a searing of the chicken, then a roux based gravy is prepared, to which the chicken is returned and slow simmered. It's somewhat similar to my Chicken and Gravy, except that the chicken is not floured. It's a simple southern dish created with layers of flavor and that's one reason that it's so good!
If you've arrived here from a Google search for Chicken Stew, I have two versions to share with you. One is a super easy, fast to the table, shortcut version and the other is the longer, homemade, stewed version made from stewing down a whole chicken. Both are delicious!
Recipe: Southern Stewed Chicken©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 1 hour 30 mins | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- One 3 pound whole chicken, cut up
- Salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning, to taste
- Up to 1/2 cup of cooking oil
- 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped celery
- 2 quarts of water, chicken stock or broth, heated
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- Couple dashes of hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Perfect boiled rice, or mashed potatoes
Heat oil over medium high heat in a cast iron or heavy bottomed Dutch oven. Season chicken on both sides with the salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Cooking in batches, brown the chicken on all sides; remove and set aside. Add oil to the pan drippings, if needed, to equal 1/2 cup total and heat over medium high heat, slowly whisking in the flour a little at a time. Cook until flour is incorporated and no lumps remain. Cook, stirring regularly, for 4 minutes.
Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook for 3 minutes, then begin adding in warmed water or broth, a cup at a time, constantly whisking it in until well incorporated and blended in. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low simmer, return the chicken to the pot and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Add the chopped garlic and hot sauce and let cook another 30 minutes. Taste for seasonings and add additional salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning as needed.
To thicken the drippings for a gravy, skim excess fat from the top of the drippings and discard. Prepare a slurry of 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and just enough water to dissolve. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. Bring drippings up to a boil, slowly stirring in the slurry. Boil, stirring constantly until mixture is thickened to desired consistency.
Serve over hot rice or mashed potatoes, with a non-starchy green vegetable such as broccoli, a salad, green beans or Brussels sprouts.

Volunteer Fairs take place once in the fall and once in the spring (see "Service Week"). During the fairs, volunteer-focused organizations from the community and from campus, showcase their services, promote upcoming events and recruit volunteers. Come explore the endless ways in which you can get involved as a volunteer!
Community Halloween Carnival
A free event for Cache Valley families sponsored by USU United Campus Volunteers. Halloween-themed booths sponsored by USU student groups provide something fun for every monster, witch, princess, and superhero in Cache Valley. Students can dress up and volunteer, student groups can sign up to sponsor a booth, community members can come have a scary good time. All are welcome to bring cans of food for the SNAC (Student Nutrition Access Center).
The most productive annual drive for food, clothing, and home products in Cache Valley, Stuff-a-Bus is a "season" of exciting charitable events. All donations go to support the local Sub for Santa nonprofit organization, the Cache Community Food Pantry, and USU SNAC (Student Nutrition and Access Center).
The Stuff-a-Bus Event Calendar consists of the following:
- Blitz Nights! Every Monday in November and the first part of December, hundreds of volunteers meet in the USU Romney Stadium Parking. Smaller groups are formed and each group finds out first hand why Cache Valley is one of the most generous communities in the country as they collect donations by neighborhood. Trucks, SUVs, Aggie Shuttles, and CVTD busses are stuffed with donations and dropped off to local community and campus food pantrys.
- Store Days: Stay tuned for announcements for which Stuff-a-Bus "Store Days", typically Saturdays, in November and December, when volunteers (including the USU Spirit Squad and Big Blue) will be at local grocery stores to collect donations. Santa, himself, also makes an appearance at every "store day"!

Aggie Biggest Loser

Second is a workout session where contestants are exposed to a wide range of workout options so they can find one they prefer. Weekly prizes are given as well as grand prizes at the end of the competition. Are you the next Aggie Biggest Loser? Even if you are not competing in the challenge, this is an event you will want to check out!
Hunger Banquet
Attending the Hunger Banquet held each year in February will be a genuine surprise! It is also sure to be a lot of fun and an eye-opening experience. Admission for some will be a lavish feast at a luxuriously-prepared layout. Admission for others… well… won't be quite the same! It is a surprise for everyone as assignments are random. Bring a date, come with a group, or come alone! Entertainment at the banquet will take you into the world of poverty in an unforgettable way and demonstrate just how closely it touches everyone.

Here We Go Steelers!
Draft 2.0
1. Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
2. Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
3. Kareem Martin, DE, UNC
4. Donte Moncrief, WR, Mississippi
5a. Shaquille Richardson, CB, Arizona
5b. Seantrel Henderson, OT, Miami
6a. Kevin Pierre-Louis, OLB, Boston College
6b. Glen Stanley, OLB, Albany St
7. Beau Allen, NT, Wisconsin
I actually think this could be a good signing. He brings less injury risk than Bradshaw and will probably come cheaper. He's a receiving threat out of the backfield and would give the team an experienced, solid kick returner. He would fit well in the 3rd down role. This team will carry 4 like always and I expect them to draft a back somewhere between rounds 2-4. So that would give them Rookie, Dwyer, Stephens-Howling, and either Redman or Batch battling for the last spot. That's not too shabby!
I don't have a problem if they do draft Austin because I think he is going to be a play maker at the next level. I would just rather have them draft somebody who is a better red zone target that posesses size and physicality. Austin is lacking in those 2 traits. He is probably more suited to being a big play guy from outside the 20 who can take what looks like a small gain and go house with it. That is worth having also.
I would prefer to add a change of pace back through the draft or sign Bradshaw, but Howling could contribute as a returner and change of pace back. He is not a difference maker but could be useful.

Although I'm sure you don't want to make this overly complicated, it might be worth briefly mentioning armour and normalization of weapon damage (as a lot of tooltips mean 'normalized damage' when they say 'weapon damage') in with how to work out weapon damage and possibly that you are calculating the average damage as most abilities have a range of damage. It might just help people see how the numbers they actually see in the game relate to 'weapon damage'. For example, people can play about a little on the target dummy with recount and see how it all fits together in a controlled environment without lots of raid buffs/procs once they know how armour and normalization work.
I probably wouldn't put the whole rundown of armour, maybe a link or 2 but the modifier for the hc target dummy with no debuffs might be useful to list. Or, perhaps even the mods with the various debuffs (sunder, ff etc).
Dunno how much you want to explain basic maths as well but as you mentioned order of operations it might be worth mentioning multiplication taking precedence over addition along with the parentheses stuff.
Some people might not know that the percentages you are talking about need to be expressed as a decimal e.g. 56% becomes 0.56.

The problem is mainly with the positions they show. Now I'm not complaining that they're missing out on the "put your ankles behind your neck, whilst he stands on one leg and barks like a dog, but some variety would be good. The cards show a variation on 4 main themes and although my beloved was happy enough to go through them shouting with glee - "Done it, done it.. done it" I was looking for a little bit more variety. Still for the price good value for money and a nice stocking filler.

The ballet flat is a perennially chic favorite of many stylesetters, but lately, we've spied celebs like Jessica Alba, Emmy Rossum, and Rihanna wearing versions of the shoe upgraded with one simple yet significant detail: a delicate ankle strap. What does this new element add to the everyday flat? It elevates the piece entirely, giving it more poise so you can wear it from work to cocktails.
The New Ballet Flat You Can Wear From Work to Play
- 1 of 19
Click through our slideshow to see how several tastemakers have been wearing this ladylike accessory while out and about. Plus don't forget to shop our favorites, ranging from elegant, pointy-toe flats to more playful, round-toe renditions.
- 2 of 19
Jessica Alba
While arriving at the Los Angeles Airport last month, Alba's Sigerson Morrison Holli2 Flats ($280) offered a ladylike counterpoint to her tough-girl essentials, like a Simone leather jacket and Salvatore Ferragamo purse.
- 3 of 19
Thanks to a bold animal print and metallic cap-toe, Mia's Ashley Flats ($59) in Leopard are surefire stunners, so allow them to pop against a minimalistic outfit in muted hues.
- 4 of 19
Christian Louboutin's Mrs. H Flats ($645) are as covetable as the label's noteworthy high heels. These brightly colored beauties would look ultra-girly with a circle skirt and ruffled blouse.
- 5 of 19
Emmy Rossum
Color-block Aldo flats complement Rossum's sweetly feminine look, which consists of Style Stalker's Moon Base Sweater ($149) in Vivid Pink and Milly's Siena Dress ($182), perfect for a relaxed stroll in Beverly Hills.
- 6 of 19
Chloé's Adelin Metallic Leather Sling-Back Ballerinas ($628) are versatile enough to wear with anything from skinny jeans to a shift dress and their gold sheen will add instant glamour to an outfit.
- 7 of 19
Maison Martin Margiela's Line 22 Ankle-Strap Flats ($470) are a classic choice. Team them with floral chino shorts and a slouchy t-shirt for a stylish weekend ensemble.
- 8 of 19
Alexa Chung
At Chanel's Artists Dinner at the Tribeca Film Festival, Chung wore the label from head-to-toe, combining a refined tweed dress from the S/S 13 collection with a quilted bag and cap-toe shoes. The result is incredibly sophisticated, but still youthful.
- 9 of 19
Add a little texture to a streamlined look, such as a crisp white button-down and jeans, with Sigerson Morrison's snake-embossed Pointed Toe Mary Jane Flats ($395).
- 10 of 19
Leave it to Alexander Wang to design ankle-strap flats with a touch of edge. His luxe Elsa Ankle Cuff Flats ($525) are the perfect accompaniment to a sharp blazer and tailored shorts.
- 11 of 19
Elena Perminova
The model's outfit, which includes Ann Demeulemeester's Blazer ($680) and Sophie Hulme's structured Large Tote Bag ($910), is unquestionably fashion-forward, but ankle-strap flats keep her look grounded.
- 12 of 19
Pixie Market's Pointy Ankle Straps ($68) are a step up from your basic black flats. Style them with a silky shell and tailored, cropped trousers for an office-appropriate look.
- 13 of 19
Delia's studded Madison Ankle Strap Flats ($25) in Black give your look a little rock 'n' roll flair. Wear them as an alternative to heels for a night out on the town.
- 14 of 19
Selma Blair
For a casual lunch date in Los Angeles earlier this year, Blair livened up her striped Vineyard Vines Portside Dress ($138) and Hermes bag with colorful Zara flats.
- 15 of 19
To add a dose of eclectic charm to your outfit, we suggest Pierre Hardy's polka-dot Ballet Flats ($438) with your favorite cutoffs and graphic t-shirt.
- 16 of 19
We love see-through accessories, which is why Deena & Ozzy's Clear Panel Pointy-Toe Skimmers ($34) immediately caught our eye. Step into these futuristic shoes with a neon dress to make a sartorial statement.
- 17 of 19
Two-tone Chanel flats instantly elevate the singer's Ray-Ban Classic Wayfarer Sunglasses ($150), Karl Lagerfeld t-shirt, and laid-back denim shorts.
- 18 of 19
Play up the feminine palette and shape of Dolce Vita's Gav Ankle Strap Flats ($149) by teaming them with a pleated skirt and lightweight knit.
- 19 of 19
Tap into the season's graphic trend with Jeffrey Campbell's Monochrome Lovins Flats ($119). If you're extra bold, slip these on with a striped dress for an eye-catching effect.

Those are just removal requests, including asking Google to remove D-Addicts from the search. Besides, CJ Entertainment has been doing this for weeks.
What we saw was the server not loading, then the MySQL database being gone and now it's all down. My guess is something got fried big time.
