|A delicious salad made using crumbled cornbread and a variety of vegetables, mixed with a mayonnaise and sour cream Ranch dressing and garnished with bacon. A great addition to your next potluck or party!
Cornbread SaladI confess. Cornbread salad is not something that many of us grew up knowing about here in South Mississippi, but ever since learning about it a couple years back from Tommie, a dear friend from Oklahoma, I have wanted to give it a try. While I do think it's more common over that way, Cornbread Salad seems to be making its way across the south as a whole these days. I admit, it does come off sounding an odd contrast of textures, but so many people who are familiar with it seem to love it, so hey, I'm game for anything!
I had made a full batch of cornbread to go with some lady cream peas I was making and set aside half of it specifically for this recipe. I'll be honest with y'all. I really didn't know how I was gonna like this dish, and it took me a few bites to get past my own judgment. Once I did, this salad absolutely grew on me and every time I took another serving of it from the fridge, I loved it more and more.
The first time I made this, I decided to use a deep bowl and layered the salad, making a nice presentation if you're taking this to a party, potluck or a church supper.
|Cornbread salad, layered in a clear bowl, makes a beautiful presentation. Simply toss before serving!
I started with Tommie's basics, and added my own touches, though in truth, this is a very versatile salad, both in the way that it is presented and the ingredients. You can use many different things in it to personalize it to your tastes. Pintos seem to be more common in Texas and Oklahoma when a bean is added, but for here in The Deep South, I thought black-eyed peas seemed fitting. I also chose Vidalia onions over red onion, just because they were in season down here and well, we love them! I also found that I really liked the addition of sweet pickles and juice, as well as a protein of some kind. I used a Cajun fried turkey breast from the deli that was fantastic with this salad. I've also included some additional add-in suggestions and variations that both Tommie and the readers on our Facebook page shared with us, showing the true versatility of this salad.
For the layered version, I topped it with the dressing and let it sit in the fridge for several hours, then tossed it just before serving. Even better is to layer this whole salad in a 9 x 13 inch clear baking dish instead of a deep bowl. The more shallow oblong pan allows for the flavors to meld together better without having to mix the salad up. Simply layer it as indicated, let it marinate in the refrigerator, and then, serve it as-is, without mixing. Since I used the bowl, and mixed the salad, as it sat in the fridge a couple of days, it actually really developed its flavor and tasted better and better each time I had a serving out of it. Frankly, I'm a little undecided yet whether I prefer this salad layered, or simply mixed up and left to marinate that way.
This is a great summertime salad at home, or for your next party, church supper, or potluck. If you've never heard of it before, I know it sounds different, but why not give it a try? The amounts given in the recipe are relative - use more or less to your own liking. Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Cornbread Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min | Total time: 24 hours| Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
For the Dressing:
For the Salad:
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 envelope of Ranch dressing mix
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 2 teaspoons of sweet pickle juice, optional
- 2 (6 to 8 ounce) packages of cornbread mix or half a pan of homemade
- 2 cans of black-eyed peas or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cans of whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup of chopped Vidalia or red onion
- 1 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of chopped sweet pickles, optional
- 1/4 cup of chopped pickled jalapeño
- 1 cup of chopped turkey, chicken or ham, optional
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Mix dressing ingredients; set aside. Prepare cornbread and let cool completely and once cooled, crumble.
Combine the crumbled cornbread with the black-eyed peas, corn, onion, green bell pepper, pickles, jalapeño, turkey, tomatoes and cheese. Add the dressing, toss, cover and refrigerate overnight, 24 hours is even better. Just before serving stir in half of the bacon and top with the remaining chopped bacon. May also layer in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan, or if you prefer, this also makes a pretty presentation in a glass bowl. You'll need about a 4-quart bowl. Layer half of the ingredients in the bowl, then repeat. If layering in a deep bowl, toss before serving.
Cook's Notes: All amounts given in the recipe are relative - use more or less to your own liking. For this recipe, I used a half pan of homemade cornbread, bread and butter pickles, and a Cajun fried spicy turkey breast from the deli.
Optional Add-ins: Chopped or shredded romaine lettuce, chopped boiled egg, drained English peas, drained Mexicorn, sliced green onion, red, yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped, drained pimentos, chopped dill pickles, black olives, other drained beans (white, kidney, black), sliced summer squash, chopped celery, chopped nuts.
Variations: Can also substitute plain mayonnaise or a small bottle of any commercial ranch dressing for the homemade version above. For a Southwestern flair, use Mexican cornbread, or add a can of Mexicorn, green chilies and/or jalapeños to your regular cornbread batter. Add 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the dressing, add black beans and use a Mexican blend of cheeses.

A non-uniform appearance of color that occurs when a wall is painted with a roller and the edges (where the roller could not reach) are "cut in" with a brush. The brushed areas generally appear darker, thus resembling the frame of a picture. Sprayed areas may be darker than neighboring sections that are brushed or rolled.
- Applying paint at different film builds (e.g. thickness of each coating layer) as a result of using a thick brush cut-in application versus a thin roller application. Spraying versus brushing may also show the problem because of differing film builds.
- Not keeping a wet edge while painting (i.e. applying wet paint to the edge of dry or almost dry paint).
- Incomplete mixing of the paint; material that has settled to the bottom is not uniformly incorporated.
- Don't cut in the entire room before painting the larger areas. Work in smaller sections of the room to maintain a wet edge. When using a brush, only cut in as narrow an area as needed, usually 1" to 2", using the roller as close to the corner as possible.
- Apply the coating as uniformly as possible with any application method.
- All colors, including white, should be thoroughly shaken before use.

You've probably read or heard it someplace before that nitrous systems have been around for a very long time, and in that period, they've proven themselves as reliable power adders time and again. However, until now, most basic nitrous systems haven't advanced much past their original beginnings. The guys at Wilson Manifolds have changed all that by adding a whole new nitrous division to their lineup. Wilson's Nitrous Pro Flow system is much more than just another carb spacer with spray bars stuffed in it. What Keith Wilson, owner of Wilson Manifolds, and his team set out to do several years ago, when development of the Pro Flow systems began, was to re-engineer the way nitrous and fuel gets sprayed into the engine.
One of the biggest problems with some of the older nitrous plate designs is that they had trouble getting an equal amount of fuel and N2O into each runner. Of course, a lot of that has also to do with how well the intake manifold works, so don't expect a Pro Flow system to solve your problems if you're putting it on a swap-meet-special intake manifold that looks like two chipmunks tried porting it with jackhammers. Ideally, you'd want to match up a Nitrous Pro Flow system with a specially CNC-ported Wilson intake manifold, as we've done here. They're available from either Edelbrock or from Wilson, directly, to fit many performance applications. Check out the chassis dyno test we performed using a single-stage Pro Flow plate and some of the plate's features we've highlighted here.

chris.ph, I dunno whether you'll bother reading my post, but if you want a genuine suggestion for a zombie book, then I suggest Handling the Undead, by John Ajvide Lindqvist of Let the Right One In fame. It's pretty good, but, like Let the Right One In, highly disturbing. In fact, the story tends to be more about normal people's reactions to the zombies being revived than the zombies themselves who, while dangerous, are not infectious or malevolent.

There are many ways to enjoy the Corvette hobby today. It would be hardto miss the fast growing trend of modifying earlier-model Corvettes toimprove handling, braking, comfort, and performance, as well as toreflect your own ideas and style. The examples in this issue give anidea of the variety of approaches.
What follows is a basic idea of what is involved and the decisions youwill make when undertaking a similar project. It would take a small bookto detail everything involved, but we can give you some key factors toconsider.
Types of Vette Rods
Although there are many labels, such as resto rod, retro rod, Vette rod,pro classic, hybrid, pro touring, and more, they all have the commontheme of building a car to reflect the owners vision of an idealCorvette. At the risk of adding confusion as well as a little more meatto these terms, we'll take a stab at defining these terms.
Vette rod/retro rod: These are along thelines of a traditional street rod. It usually entails changing the maincomponents, including the installation of a performance engine, customwheels and tires, possibly a conversion to a stronger differential, abrake conversion, upgrading the interior, changing the paint,accessories, and more, and often includes body modifications. It'sanalogous to the traditional approach of building a street rod, but witha Corvette as a base rather than a '30s-'60s vintage car, for example.
Pro classic: This type uses the modernCorvette drivetrain, suspension, and brake components to improve ride,handling, braking, and comfort while retaining the integrity of theoriginal design. These often use late-model Corvette EFI engines andcomputer systems but seldom include major body modifications. Theobjective is to combine the best elements of the classic styling withthe latest mechanical and electronic components.
Replica cars: These cars are in thecategory of kit, replica, or composite cars. Similar in most respects tothe many replica builders, the term Vette rod is broad enough toencompass these cars. Some feel these are not Corvettes except instyling, however, consider the difficulty in finding an original carthat is a good candidate for a Vette-rod project. Builders may offereither a turnkey car or a kit for you to use. These cars face the sameissues as any composite car when it comes to registration, inspection,and insurance. Each state has different laws defining the specificrequirements. Research each company offering Corvette replica cars sincethere can be differences when compared to starting with an original car.
It really doesn't matter what you call it. Regardless of the label, thecommon objective is building a car that is fun to drive.
What's Involved: Decisions, Decisions!
There are many considerations and up-front decisions to make whenconsidering a Vette-rod project. The first step is to decide on yourprimary use for the car, i.e., street, show, or a combination, and layout a basic project plan. Next, determine the type of components youplan to use, then choose who is going to do the work, and find thesources for the necessary components. Finally, evaluate how much youwant to invest in terms of dollars as well as time.
Primary Use: Research and Project Plan
It might seem obvious that determining the primary use of the car shouldbe the first step. All too often this issue doesn't get enoughattention. As a crucial early decision, it will heavily influence whatcomponents are used, the level of finish, and ultimately, the totalcosts.
Researching component suppliers is also best done early in the project.The resource list in this issue of Corvette Fever is a good place tostart, but check with the many chassis builders out there, as well aspeople who've already built their own cars. With the popularity of thesecars expanding exponentially, there are many Web forums, such as theCorvette Forum at
Remember, planning (covered in the Dec. '04 issue) is crucial tobuilding the car you want.
Major Components
The many choices in regard to major components such as suspension,chassis, and engine/drivetrain, will heavily influence your costs. Thesedays many are opting for the current generation of Corvette engines suchas the LS1, LS2, or LS6. While these engines involve more work toinstall, e.g., ECU, wiring harness, instrumentation, fuel and coolingsystems, there are also after-market suppliers for these components. Theresource list in this issue has many of them.
The major cost components include:
* Project car itself -- Prices vary considerably for decent C1, C2,or C3 cars with a good body and frame, and it can take some time tolocate a good one. Ideally you want to look for a non-matching-numberscar, without an engine or transmission. Be very wary of a "basket case"since you often won't know which components you have.
* Chassis conversion -- The main choices are converting a stockchassis, having a custom tube frame built for a modern Corvette, orinstalling after-market suspension components to a stock chassis.
* Suspension components -- Front and rear suspension, brakes, shocks,springs, tires, and wheels.
* Body and paint work -- The cost for this work usually runs muchmore than a steel-bodied car and depends on the condition of the body.
* Engine, transmission, differential -- The cost depends on what youselect and whether it's new or used.
* Interior -- Reproduction or custom interior.
* Instruments -- Most EFI engines require adaption to the electronicoutputs/sending units or converting to electronic gauges.
* Chrome/Polishing -- Replating bumpers, polishing stainless trim,and so on.
* Engine Accessories -- Headers/manifolds, exhaust system, intakesystem, alternator, P/S and A/C systems.
* Engine Wiring and ECU -- Custom engine-wiring harness and ECUprogramming.
* Body Wiring -- Replacing the original wiring is a good idea.
* Cooling System -- A new radiator built with the right inlets andoutlets and new hoses.
* Fuel System -- EFI engines require high-output fuel pumps, pressureregulators, and usually a main and return line.
* Miscellaneous and Custom Components -- It would take a long list tocover all the odds and ends that could be required, such as switches,body mounts, brake and fuel lines, miscellaneous body and interior trimpieces, glass, weather stripping, wheels and tires, and so on. Giventhat these cars are 40-plus years old, count on having to replace orrestore most of these components to have a reliable car. As with anycustom car, you will run into various components which have to bemodified or adapted, and you may also have to do some customfabrication. But, coming up with your own solution can be a fun part ofa project.

Batch gets hometown honorPosted by on November 30, 2012 – 9:22 pm
There is no doubt that quarterback Charlie Batch is a hometown hero, so on Friday night it was only fitting that he was inducted into the Steel Valley Hall of Fame.
Batch, who is from Homestead, Pa., part of the Steel Valley, was honored for his achievements on the field and his contribution to the community.
Batch attended Steel Valley High School and then went on to play at Eastern Michigan. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the second round in 1998, playing four seasons there before signing with the Steelers in 2002.
"It's special," said Batch. "To have so many great players come out of the area and to be recognized as one of the best is appreciated."
Batch established the Best of the Batch Foundation, giving back to those in the Steel Valley area in many ways, including educational programs.
"I am in a rare situation where I am home playing football," said Batch. "To be so close to home and be able to continue to do what we are doing with the foundation and make an impact on the community is special because there are so many people involved and believe in our cause.
"I am extremely proud to be from the area. There are so many great people from there, not only in sports but in business. To have an opportunity to be around those people, and those trying to make an impact in that area, we are trying to do our small part but understand there is more that needs to be done."

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (sometimes called simply The Lamb) is a double concept album recorded and released in 1974 by the British progressive rock band Genesis. It was their sixth studio album and the last album by the group to feature the involvement of lead singer Peter Gabriel.
Most of the music on the album was written by band members Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, without Gabriel's participation and with little participation from Steve Hackett as well. Gabriel insisted on writing the story and all the lyrics himself, which caused friction, in particular because Rutherford had originally suggested another project for the band — an album based on Antoine de Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince. Gabriel was absent from the album's writing and rehearsal sessions due to personal problems — his wife was having difficulties with her first pregnancy — which added to the strain. However, Banks and Rutherford wrote the words for "The Light Dies Down on Broadway", as Gabriel could not come up with a linking piece between "Ravine" and "Riding the Scree". Gabriel did contribute to the writing of the music more than has been assumed; his then-wife Jill pointed out in Spencer Bright's Peter Gabriel: An Authorized Biography that he wrote the main melody for "The Carpet Crawlers", of which he is especially proud. It should also be noted that tracks like "Anyway" and "Lilywhite Lilith" were developed from earlier unused compositions by the band ("Frustration" and "The Light" respectively) which were likely to have been group efforts, in which Gabriel had played some part in creating as well.
During the album's pre-production, Gabriel was contacted by filmmaker William Friedkin, (at the time enjoying great success with The Exorcist), about a possible film project after Friedkin read Gabriel's short story on the sleeve of the Genesis Live album. Despite his bandmates' disapproval, Gabriel left them to work on some early script drafts. However, the project came to nothing (Friedkin instead working with Tangerine Dream to score his next film, Sorcerer), and Gabriel returned to the band.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway met with mixed reviews (see above), and reached #10 in the UK, while nearly cracking the U.S. Top 40, reaching # 41 and eventually going Gold. The band went on a world tour upon its release, performing the album in its entirety 102 times. The Lamb Tour was slated to begin on October 29 1974, but due to an injury to Steve Hackett's hand, the tour was postponed until November 12 1974, days prior to the album's release to the public. Opening night for the tour commenced at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois on November 20, 1974. The final show on The Lamb tour was May 27, 1975 at the Palais des Sports in Besançon, France. Early into the tour, Gabriel decided he would be leaving Genesis, although he would finish the tour amicably with the band and not go public until August 1975.
Gabriel showed restraint for the first half of the show, dressed as Rael in leather jacket, T-shirt and jeans, while relying on effective lighting and dramatic expression without the use of props or costumes. During the second half, however, the costumes and other visuals became much more elaborate. During "The Lamia", for instance, Gabriel was surrounded by a spinning cone-like structure decorated with images of snakes. For the last verse of the song, the cone would collapse to reveal Gabriel wearing a body suit that glowed under the stage's black lights. However, the most notorious of Gabriel's costumes was the Slipperman, an outrageous naked monster with inflatable genitalia and covered in lumps. At the intro to the final song "It," a huge explosion set off twin strobes, and the audience was faced with both Gabriel and a dummy dressed identically, clueless as to which was real.
Although these visuals were, as in past concerts, meant to enhance the experience, the rest of the band became frustrated with the press focusing only on the theatrical side of the show and not the musicianship. Another problem for the band was that many fans reacted as if Gabriel was the star and the rest of the group merely his backing band. Collins stated in Hugh Fielder's 1984 book, The Book Of Genesis, that backstage after a Lamb concert, "people would steam straight past Tony, Mike, Steve and I, go straight up to Peter and say, 'You're fantastic, we really enjoyed the show.' It was becoming a one-man show to the audience."
Aside from the band's frustration at the amount of attention given to Gabriel, the tour was frought with other difficulties. According to Tony Banks, the slides which accompanied the music never worked perfectly and came close to working perfectly on only four or five occasions. Gabriel often had difficulty getting a microphone near enough to his mouth to be heard in some of his costumes, especially the Slipperman. And, during a performance of "It" in one concert in Oslo, a stage manager's error resulted in an explosion so intense that it caused the band to stop playing, fearing for their safety. Still, the concerts were not without some enjoyable surprises: at the final Lamb concert in Besançon, roadie Geoff Banks, just for a laugh and without telling the band beforehand, put on the dummy's leather jacket and – wearing nothing else – replaced the Gabriel dummy on stage for the intro to "It." Collins said it was an image he will never forget.
Genesis never had any of their Lamb concerts filmed in their entirety, although several pieces from the show were filmed, including some bootleg footage taken by audience members. There is a nearly-complete audio recording of their Lamb performance from January 24, 1975 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles that is available on their box set, Genesis Archive 1967-75, although it has some re-recorded vocals and guitar parts by Gabriel and Hackett, as both men were dissatisfied with their performances on the original concert recording. Also, the tape ran out during the performance of "It," so a remastered version of the studio original, with a new lead vocal by Gabriel, is substituted.
In 2004, Genesis considered reuniting for a brief reunion tour of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway." All five former band members met in November 2004 to discuss the possible "Lamb" tour, but ultimately Gabriel bowed out due to his solo commitments, which precluded Hackett's participation. In 2007, Banks, Collins and Rutherford went ahead with the Genesis reunion tour without Gabriel and Hackett, playing only a couple of "Lamb" songs during the show, the standard live numbers "In the Cage" and "Carpet Crawlers." However, the trio had all stated that they still hope a reunion tour of "The Lamb" with Gabriel and Hackett would still happen at some point, but it all depends on Gabriel's availability and commitment.
A SACD / DVD double disc set (including new 5.1 and Stereo mixes) is planned for release in November 2008.

Ian McCall: If I Lose at UFC 163, I Deserve Pink Slip
If I lose this fight, I deserve a pink slip, McCall told the Sherdog Radio Networks Beatdown show. Thats just how it goes. I havent performed. I havent won yet. Thats how this sport is. Its performance-based. I get it.
McCall is scheduled to meet Iliarde Santos in a prelim bout. The 32-year-old Brazilian suffered a knockout loss to Iuri Alcantara in his UFC debut in May but had won six straight before the defeat.
I know hes a black belt in jiu-jitsu, McCall said. People would think maybe stay away from that, but I wouldnt mind trying to submit him. I wouldnt mind proving that I know some jiu-jitsu too. I know I have better wrestling. His wrestling isnt bad for a Brazilian. Its not horrendous or anything.
McCall will enter the bout on a two-fight skid, having lost back-to-back decisions to Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez. In his UFC debut, he drew with Johnson, who went on to become the UFC flyweight champion. Although some may argue McCall deserved the nod over Johnson in that first bout and therefore deserved a title shot, hes now facing the possibility of a three-fight losing streak.
Against Santos, hell also have to deal with the fact that hes fighting an opponent in his home country of Brazil. He expects Santos to have plenty of support and to come out swinging.
Hes going to come out and try to kill me, McCall said. He has the old-school Chute Boxe kind of vale tudo style. Hooks, the footwork is very kind of marching forward, trying to really stay in your face and that kind of stuff, but its nothing I cant deal with.

This Grammys 2013 Photo Makes Us Insanely Jealous
It stung a bit when we weren't invited to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding, and we always sulk when we find out Beyonce and Jay-Z have gone luxury-yachting without us. Baby Blue Ivy is the probably only person who doesn't get our pain.
So naturally, when we see a photo like this — of Beyonce and Jessica casually laughing at something equal parts charming and witty Jessica's husband has said — we mentally Photoshop ourselves into the tableau (in this case, awkwardly between JT and Jess to mitigate the handsiness) and join in the convo.
Us, just as Jay-Z becomes super interested in something — anything — else: Hey, guys. Crazy night, are we right?
Justin: Who are you?
Us, ignoring Justin: Nice "Suit & Tie," JT. Are you bringing sexy back?
Justin, exchanging a weirded-out glance with Jessica: Don't call me that.
Beyonce: Seriously, don't call him that.
Us: Roger that, Bey.
Beyonce, glaring: Just, no.
Us, getting desperate: But I can feel your halo! We're in 7th Heaven!
Jessica, now glaring as well: Justin, can you make this one go "Bye Bye Bye"?
Us: Oh come on.
Enjoy the envy-inducing photo, and keep on dreaming on.

Midwest Living Review
The Black Hills are loaded with beautiful hikes that serve trekkers looking for anything from a 30-minute stroll to a multiday backpacking outing. Towering over them all is the 13-mile round-trip journey to 7,242-foot Harney Peak, the signature hike for outdoorsy visitors. The hike isn't exceptionally strenuous, provided you've set your mind to spending up to six hours on the trail and are in generally good physical condition. The popular trail leaving from Custer State Park's Sylvan Lake provides good footing as it passes through the pine forests on the way to the summit, providing spectacular views of granite spires along the way. The trail remains a path through the pines until the final approach, where you'll climb metal stairs up through a couple of granite notches on the way to the old fire tower on top. From there, you can see seemingly forever, looking out on the breadth of the Hills and four states. Be sure to look for the backside of Mt. Rushmore to the northeast. Note that the trail passes through the Black Elk Wilderness Area, and that there are no services of any kind on the trip. So be smart: Take water, snacks and spare jackets. And go early. Afternoon thunderstorms, which can bring deadly lightning this high up, are common.

Mississippi State University welcomes back the 6th annual Charles Templeton Ragtime Jazz Festival. The event takes place this Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31, featuring nighttime concerts at Lee Hall's Bettersworth Auditorium as well as daytime tours and sessions at the Templeton Music Museum in Mitchell Memorial Library. Performers this year include Jeff Barnhart, Brian Holland, David Jasen, Carl Sonny Leyland and Martin Spitznagel.
"This signature festival features some of the most talented pianists around in a setting that has come to be known for its warmth, hospitality and uniqueness," festival coordinator Stephen Cunetto said. "Having grown up in Starkville and being a child of the Golden Triangle Area I have often heard there is not much to do in Starkville. This festival is just another example of one of the wonderful cultural events we have in our community. We certainly want this festival to continue to grow and prosper but the only way it can is with the continued public support."
Festival coordinator and Library Dean Frances Coleman said the festival is an important part of our musical heritage because in the fast pace world we live in it is easy to get caught up in where we are today and not think about where we have been.
"Understanding our musical heritage helps us understand how all of these music forms and genres are connected," Coleman said. "As one genre faded, another became popular but essentially grew out of the former. It great to be able to trace the roots of our musical heritage and to see what was happening in our country during these times."
Chip Templeton, one of the festival organizers, said he is looking forward to this year's performers.
"This is probably the best group of performers we've ever had," Templeton said. "They just have a lot of fun together and they have great chemistry."
Templeton said he hopes the community will come out and support the festival and enjoy themselves.
"It's great entertainment," Templeton said. "People can find out a new way to experience music –– a way they've never thought about before."
Planning committee member Lyle Tate said one exciting thing this year is having both Barnhart and Holland at the same festival.
"They both travel and play so often that having them in one place together is difficult," Tate said. "Their chemistry and dynamic on stage is amazing, and we'll get to experience that Saturday night."
Tate said ragtime is really the "root" of American music, and so much of what we know today –– even hip-hop and rap –– can be traced back to ragtime.
"Keeping this music alive and learning each year about how ragtime has shaped different genres throughout the years is
exciting and important," Tate said.
As in previous years, Tate said, organizers hope people will find an open, fun and relaxed festival atmosphere.
"They can visit with other music enthusiasts and with our visiting artists," Tate said. "The festival is a unique time for people to experience some extraordinarily talented performers and to get to visit and talk with them between sessions. Also, festival-goers can play alongside the artists during the after-hours events after each evening's concert."
Tate said public support is huge in making the festival possible.
"If the Starkville community members and a handful of ragtime enthusiasts from around the country didn't come to the festival, our artists would be playing for empty rooms," Tate said. "The Starkville community continues to be wonderful cheerleaders for the festival by attending the events, by volunteering in different aspects throughout the weekend and by spreading the word about just how great this music and the festival really is."
Tate said he is personally excited to meet Spitznagel and to hear him play.
"This is his first visit to the Templeton Festival, and from watching his You Tube videos, he's going to be an exciting, dynamic addition," Tate said.
According to a MSU release, the 2012 schedule includes four returning artists and one making his first appearance. Barnhart, one of the returning artists, is a pianist, vocalist, arranger, band leader, recording artist, composer, pedagogue and entertainer. He appears regularly as a soloist and band pianist for international parties, festivals, clubs and cruises. When not performing, Barnhart has recorded as both a pianist and vocalist on more than 75 full-length albums.
Holland has been a ragtime, jazz and stride pianist for almost 30 years. He is a classically trained and Grammy Award-nominated performer. The three-time World Old-Time Piano Playing Champion now serves as a judge for the competition. Most recently, Holland has been featured with performances in the African nation of Rwanda and a subsequent recording project on the Mohawk Productions label.
Jasen is among the most highly regarded authorities on ragtime music. He is a collector of books, recordings, piano rolls, periodicals, catalogs and sheet music that cover the gamut of American popular music. Jasen also has served as an adviser to the Templeton Festival since its inception.
Leyland said he was inspired to go to the piano after discovering boogie-woogie at age 15 and began on a path that became his life's purpose. Whether solo or with the Carl Sonny Leyland Trio, his play typically involves a spontaneity that provides many happy surprises.
First-timer Spitznagel is often praised for his virtuosic technique, sophisticated touch and sparkling repertoire. He has been a featured performer at the Scott Joplin International, Indiana and West Coast ragtime festivals, as well as at New York's Ragtime-Jazztime Festival. Spitznagel won the World Old-Time Piano Playing and Scott Joplin Foundation's "Train Town Rag" Composition contests in 2007 and 2010, respectively.
In addition to the MSU Libraries and Templeton Music Museum, the festival is sponsored by the Starkville Area Arts Council, Rotary Club of Starkville and Greater Starkville Development Partnership. In part, additional sponsorships also are provided by the Mississippi Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.

Make a Difference Day Sets New Record for SLU Participation
More than 3,000 Saint Louis University students, faculty and staff have volunteered for the 2011 Make a Difference Day Saturday, Oct. 29.
The annual national day of service begins with a kick-off ceremony at Herrmann Stadium before volunteers fan out to more than 130 area schools, non-profit organizations, churches, individual homes and community facilities to spend the day painting, planting and cleaning up as well as providing activities at some locations.
Bobby Wassel, assistant director SLU's Center for Service and Community Engagement, has seen the volunteer numbers grow consistently each year.
"Last year, 2,778 SLU volunteers work in 121 sites in the community, making it the largest 'Make a Difference Day' in the University's history," Wassel said. "This year we've seen both the numbers as well enthusiasm to share time, energy and friendship in the metro area continue to grow."
Nearly 40 volunteers from Saint Louis University's Service Leadership program at the John Cook School of Business will be adding their time, talent and energy to projects at Mullanphy Elementary School in the Shaw Neighborhood.
Junior Sam Hurteau, the current team leader for the John Cook School of Business Service Leadership program, is excited about the opportunity for their team to work together and make a meaningful contribution to the community.
"Doing service for the St. Louis community is such an amazing experience not only because I'm taking the opportunity to positively impact lives, but it is also even more fun and worthwhile to know that I am doing so in the company of my good friends from SLU. Giving of myself to others and sharing in that experience with friends is what makes our work so successful," Hurteau said.
Additional work sites for this year's Make a Difference Day include Gateway 180: Homelessness Reversed; Gene Slay's Boys Club; and the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.

Five Reasons Food Stamps Work Just Fine
Last week, House Republicans passed a bill that would cut the food stamp program by about $40 billion over the next ten years. They're drawing on headline numbers—the program serves about 47 million people each year and has the biggest price tag of any program in the farm bill, $80 billion—to drum up support. The aid, technically known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is still known as food stamps to nearly everyone who receives it. There's little chance that the bill will be enacted, given the more moderate makeup of the Senate, although it's likely that some cuts will end up on the president's desk. (The Senate is cutting $4.4 billion from the program.) Still, food stamps are one of the most robust federal entitlements for the poor we have left, so it's always going to be a target for cuts. It's worth looking beyond those bold-face numbers in the news to see how the program is performing—and why it's still essential.
1. More People Are Benefiting from Food Stamps than Ever
The number of people on the food-stamp program has increased by about 27 million since the recession, an increase that is still smaller than the increase in poverty. The Center on Budget Policy and Priorities crunched the data and found that the number of people who qualified for food stamps went up from 54 to 64 million. (In contrast, food-stamp participation rates fell in the 1990s, when the economy was good.) Also, a higher percentage of people who qualified are getting food stamps than before, though it's still true that about a quarter of households that could get food stamps don't get them, for whatever reason. Those households without food stamps report that they aren't always able to get enough food to feed their families.
2. Food Stamps Are Good for the Economy—and Cheaper than Farm Subsidies!
Even though spending on food stamps, about $78 billion in 2012, is higher than other farm-bill appropriations—farm subsidies are about $16 billion—the number of people who directly benefit is also larger. If you average out the spending on food stamps for every person who gets them, it's only $1,700 per person. Spending on farm subsidies only affects about 3 million agricultural jobs, which works out to $5,300 per person. Yet Republicans aren't decreasing the amount the government spends on farm subsidies. In fact, they are increasing it. (Those subsidies benefit rich farmers and agricultural companies, powerful members of the House agricultural committee's constituency.) Moreover, food stamps subsidize American agriculture in a roundabout way, because most of our food is produced domestically. In fact, analyses show that food stamps pump a lot of money back into the economy—every $1 spent on food stamps generates between $1.60 and $1.80 in economic activity.
3. Children Are the Biggest Food-Stamp Benefactors
The Food Research Action Center reports that about a quarter of households with children say they can't get enough food. By and large, adults with children are the most likely to seek out food assistance. About three quarters of food-stamp recipients are households with children living in their households, and 47 percent of individual recipients are children. The average benefit for a family of three is just under $400, which is about $33 per person per week. Not everyone gets the same amount, however. In 2011, about 6.4 million were working adults, and the more they earn, the fewer benefits they get. Which means that, by and large, all that food-stamp money is feeding children whose parents work low-wage jobs.
4. Cutting Food Stamps Won't Trim the Deficit
Food and agriculture spending, of which food stamps are a part, only make up 5 percent of the mandatory spending in the federal budget—and that spending is largely good for the economy. Cutting the program even by a huge margin won't make a difference in the government's checkbook. The cuts will, however, make a huge difference to families. The House-proposed cuts would kick about 1.7 million unemployed, childless adults off the program. Their average income? About $2,500 a year, and for many of them food stamps are their only source of income. Cuts would also prevent some ex-offenders from getting food stamps once they're out of prison. All the research shows that the more help ex-offenders receive, the less likely they are to end up back where they started. Helping former prisoners readjust to society instead of marginalizing them ultimately costs states less money.
5. Food-Stamp Fraud Is an Imaginary Problem
The computer systems used by social-services agencies are ancient, and caseworkers are often overworked and under-resourced. Over the years, the federal government has tried to give states more flexibility to run the food-stamp program, and states have worked to modernize their systems so they don't kick people off rolls unnecessarily, or over- and under-pay benefits. In 2002, the federal government started giving bonuses to states in an effort to improve the performance and compliance of their food-stamp programs. The House shows signs of wanting to chip away at those advances: the current bill would remove the bonuses for states to improve performance. Which is ironic, because one of the errors the incentive money helped reduce was the rate that food stamp recipients were mistakenly overpaid. The federal government is also aggressive about cracking down on food-stamp fraud: only about one cent of every dollar spent goes to trafficking, which happens most often when recipients exchange their benefits for cash. Trafficking is the most common type of "fraud" in the food-stamp program, and it doesn't cost the federal government any more money. It just means benefits aren't being used for their intended purpose.

1. Your quote: "Food Stamps Are Good for the Economy"was not backed up by any facts. I doubt that it could be. If it were so good for the economy, why not eliminate check-outs at the grocery market, and just centrally fund all food distribution? Of course it is bad for the economy, that is why it is a safety net – not standard operating procedures. Any program that disincentivizes work cannot be good for the economy.
2. Your quote: "Food-Stamp Fraud Is an Imaginary Problem" is beyond comical when one takes into account your further statements: "It just means benefits aren't being used for their intended purpose." Hint: taking things under false pretenses and not using them for their intended purpose is the DEFINITION of fraud! :-)

Actually it IS backed up by facts. The CBO did a study and they found that food stamps had the most bang for the buck in the economy of any program that exists, much, much more than tax cuts. And to claim that food stamps disincentivizes work is so foolish that it doesn't deserve a response. Getting $33 a week to eat on disincentivizes work??? Try it some time. The main reason, as the article refers to, is that almost half the people on food stamps are kids, but also a large percent of the rest are the elderly who are trying to live on SS. Then with three unemployed for every job, it takes some sort of gall to claim that the two who lose out are lazy.
And I notice that you missed the part about less than 1% of the money being passed out in food stamps is fraudulently used. That qualifies as imaginary.
Sat, 2013-10-05 11:58
Far from disincentivising work, food stamps actually do the opposite--they enable people stuck in low-paying and part-time work to keep working. Apart from helping people afford to feed their families they are a subsidy to the employer. I have actually worked for businesses where several of my fellow workers were receiving food stamps because their wages were so low. Many were single women with one or two children. Many were going to community college to improve their skills and knowledge in hope of better-paying jobs and working full or part-time. I know this because they waited on me or served my food. I have also listened to the employers of these women complain mightily about lazy people who won't work drawing aid and resenting the fact that the state forces them to pay a minimum wage. Most of my familiarity with this comes from working several years in supermarkets, and believe me, it was a real eye-opener.
Thu, 2013-09-26 21:46
To Tommy: 1. food stamps are better for the economy than mass starvation (or the theft and shoplifting that would undoubtedly result from desperation: read Les Miserables for a clue), and they do not disincentivize work. That is the right wing myth that assumes that ALL OR MOST POOR people, when given extra money, will stop working, while curiously, ALL OR MOST RICH people, when given extra money, invest it to create jobs; both halves of the myth have been shown by history not to be true.
2. There is fraud in EVERY relief program, but the rate is very low. Fox managed to find ONE to showcase as if he were representative of everyone on food stamps. In fact, one of the top right wing senators TOOK FOOD STAMPS FOR A YEAR, and still believes that everyone ELSE who ever had to take them is lazy and a fraud. Fraud has been reduced to the point that the cost of preventing another dollar of fraud is more than a dollar in administrative costs.
Additional point on point 2 in the article: wealthy "farmers" (meaning owners of large amounts of acreage that "could" be farmed) receiving millions in farm subsidies not only include the CONSTITUENTS of membes of the Ag Committee, they include one of the members HIMSELF, who was in effect voting for his OWN windfall of taxpayer money, and did NOT recuse himself, or even ADMIT that this was the case.

Hey Tommy...please explain how the meager benefits one gets from food stamps promotes a lack of work. Absolutely NOONE is getting rich on food stamps. Also, since you brought up fraud, how about explaining why handing out subsidies to rich farmers under the guise of "need" isn't fraud. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Fri, 2013-09-27 13:59
If you are really asking "how the meager benefits one gets from food stamps promotes lack of work?" read on. If that is a talking point read no further. We wildly agree that "Absolutely NOONE is getting rich on food stamps." And that is the shame of it – they are settling. Many years ago one of the morning shows interviewed the president of a major Japanese auto manufacturer. They asked him why Japan at the time had a 2% unemployment rate and the U.S. was at about 8%. His answer: "In Japan we do not encourage people not to work; after a couple of weeks they get hungry." The thought process remains the same. These meager benefits keep people from being "hungry." Hungry to find that better job, hungry to move to a better place, hungry to get rich. The "meager benefits" are an obstacle to the good life you (I suspect) and I want for everyone.
If I advocated ANY subsidies, I humbly apologize. Not sure where you could have gotten that impression, but together we can eradicate it. Subsidies to banks, farmers, well connected energy companies, etc. – all BAD!

Food stamp fraud by recipients is non-existent because of the way the program actually works, because there would simply "be nothing in it for me" to attempt it, and because the penalties for fraud are very severe. To learn how and why the program works, and how/why it is great for the economy (and the nation's ability to remain competitive in the modern world), you can find more information via the us.gov website. The persistent "problem" with the food stamp program is precisely that it has worked so well, while Republicans want to end it (redistributing that money upward instead).
Fri, 2013-09-27 14:26
Tommy, quoting a Japanese business man who was dead wrong does not validate the point. Note that these same voices of wisdom threw Japan's economy into a tailspin, deeply damaging the country. When there aren't enough jobs, people go hungry. Going hungry doesn't create jobs. When people don't have the means to get a job, they go hungry. Millions of our low-wage workers are a single job loss from losing everything, with no way back up (remember, not everyone has people they can fall back on, to support them during a rough time). How do you get a job without a home address, phone, bus fare? US corporations have shipped out the very jobs that the "masses" relied on to make a living -- primarily, our manufacturing jobs. Reagan's deregulation frenzy (in short, taking all the rules off of the greediest) had the inevitable results, deeply harming the US economy. Many without health care for years have become unemployable. All of these (and other) factors work together to collectively pull the nation deeper into hopeless poverty. When people have no way to work their way back up, we see the steady deterioration of the nation. At the most basic level -- Hunger takes a heavy toll on health, ensures failure for school children, leaves unemployed workers unemployable, and all of this impacts the nation as a whole. As much as the greedy hate the very word, no nation can function unless we do things collectively, for the common good. Without collective action, societies collapse. The US reached its height of prosperity AND productivity from WWll until the 1980s, precisely because of the social safety net. Our history simply stands as proof of this -- and of the fact that as we began incrementally ending the social safety net, the US economy has taken a nosedive.

Jan 14, 2012Lazy Sunday Chicken
What do you do when it is windy and cold outside, when the duck number have gone south, when the geese have flight patterns just short of the ozone layer and you can't seem to get focused to ice fish, even with the call of the new fish hut and ice wind anchors? Well….you get the kid to fix dinner while you load ammo or build arrows.

At Camp Chef we have entered into our show season. Four of us will not see home in any stretch of relaxation until sometime in Mid March. It is a nature of our beast. You may think, "wow, I wish I could travel and see all those outdoorsy things". And it is a great time to see our dealers, reps and show friends. But there is rarely any play involved in the show adventure.

One of the most asked questions about our Smoke Vaults is how to make jerky. I have found that it's pretty easy and think that by the time you read this you will agree.I have to admit that I was a little nervous the first time I gave it a try, so I did what any reasonable person would and called someone that would know what to do. The fine folks at Hi Mtn Seasonings know their way around jerk

I've only seen a couple ducks for sale at the grocers'. I'm not even sure if the store was local or even in the west. I have always come by ducks the all natural way. That is we hunt them, then we shoot them. I'm not a duck biologist and only about par as a duck hunter; but I know enough about ducks and their history, to rank them as one of the great conservation efforts by Sportsmen an

After forecasters were predicting incoming winter weather, which contained a 90% chance of mixed precipitation throughout the state, many area residents were not expecting to see anything but rain on Christmas Day.
Much to our surprise, and the delight of some, a dusting of snow covered the area, leaving many to travel home in questionable weather conditions.
Around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon you could slowly watch the incoming weather change as snow began to mix in with the steady rains we had experienced throughout the night. By 3:00 p.m. the rain and gave way to a fluffy snow, which continued to fall until around 8:00 p.m., later in some areas of the county.
Although most of the area didn't receive the 2-4 inches that were anticipated for the area, residents got to once again experience a white Christmas.
Now, almost 5 days later, snow is still on the ground in areas around the county as we prepare for ice that is supposed to be heading our way early next week.

Pipeline Comes To Life
The swell came up so fast today! You always hear about how the fast the waves can pick up in Hawaii and today we saw just that. Yesterday was nearly flat, this morning was just overhead, and this afternoon it's double overhead. I just watched the surf at Pipe and while it wasn't very good (still too much sand on the reef) it's always entertaining. I saw Tamayo Perry after he got out o the water and he said he got some good ones before it got too packed. There weren't too many barrels when I was watching but a few valiant attempts. Even though it's not that great it's good to see some swell out there.
Between a shindig at one of the Vans houses, Monday Night Football, and a visit to the Oakley house at Off The Wall we kind tied one on last night. The party at Vans was in celebration of their new line of trunks and was attended by the Guduaskas bros, the Florence bros, Leila Hurst, Dylan Graves and more. The trunks are pretty sick too, I got handed a pair that was designed by Dylan Graves and plan to rock them soon here. At the Oakley house we hung out with Dustin Barca, Rico Jiminez, Brent Dorrington, Sage Erickson, and a bunch of other heads before weaving back to the house on bikes.
Tonight is the Surfer Poll at Turtle Bay and just about everyone on the North Shore is looking to go. They gave out 600 tickets but inevitably there will be party crashers. I went last year and it was fun but kind of a zoo. Hopefully our movie, Surprise Excitement Party, wins an award for "Best Wipeout." We'll let ya know…—JC

This fall, Saint Louis University's John Cook School of Business and its Entrepreneurship program are launching the Diamond in the Rough Student Entrepreneur Competition. The winning student entrepreneur, who best embodies the key idea of SLU's Entrepreneurship program, "Do good. Do well," will be awarded $5,000.
|John Cook School of Business
"Diamond in the Rough represents an outstanding way for SLU to show its support for our students who are already running their own firms," said Jerome Katz, Ph.D., Coleman Foundation professor of entrepreneurship.
"We are excited to be able to offer this program to our student entrepreneurs and expect it will help SLU attract and keep these future business and community leaders."
Initial support for the Diamond in the Rough program is being provided by a gift from the Tim Fogerty family. Fogerty, CEO of Gateway EDI, and his wife, Diane, have three children in whom the entrepreneurial spark also burns bright. They were introduced to SLU's Entrepreneurship program through their daughter, Katie, a 2007 Cook School of Business alumna.
"She had a great experience at SLU," Fogarty said. "I became involved because of the strong entrepreneurial program. We would like to see more people start businesses and help strengthen the St. Louis economy, and we share that vision with Professor Katz."
Originally, Fred Kiesner, a professor at Loyola-Marymount University, started Diamond in the Rough. The Fogerty family's gift of $270,000 is helping establish the program in St. Louis as a way to support and develop student entrepreneurs at SLU.
The entrepreneurial spirit thrives in the Fogerty family. Diane runs her own interior design business, and daughter Katie recently launched her own event planning company.
"We want to nurture young people's passion for starting and running their own businesses. Starting your own business allows you to establish values that are important to you, and to your family. Giving back to the community and helping others is another important aspect of small business ownership," said Fogerty.
"Tim's devotion to supporting entrepreneurship is evident to those who know his firm, Gateway EDI, and through his involvement in activities supporting entrepreneurship in the St. Louis area," said Katz.
"Taking the leadership to bring Diamond in the Rough to St. Louis and to SLU speaks volumes about his family's willingness to roll up their sleeves and help create and fund efforts that can make a material difference in the entrepreneurial environment of St. Louis."
The Diamond in the Rough program provides training, mentoring and support to freshmen and sophomores who own and operate their own businesses. As part of the program's criteria, the student must currently operate a business, whether it is on-line, virtual or has a physical location.
Most of the Fogerty family's gift will be added to the school's endowed Entrepreneurship Experience Fund to generate long-term program support, with a small portion set aside for immediate operations and the first year's prize money.
The prize money is intended to cover the student's business expenses and financial growth in consultation with the director of the university's Center for Entrepreneurship. Any funds left when the student leaves SLU will return to the Entrepreneurship Experience Fund.
For more information about the Diamond in the Rough Competition, contact the Center for Entrepreneurship at (314) 977-3850 or email email@example.com.

Neat story whether fully true or not.
I have no idea what to put in but check it out. Kind of a long read.
[QUOTE Fight Night
To build a promotion around a street fighter is some David Blaine territory, and, five years later, it's clear EliteXC and CBS were operating as trapeze artists in October of 2008. Everybody knew that Kimbo had limitations. He could grimace, look mean, roam around with an entourage and pop thugs in the grill with his naked knuckles, but he couldn't defend a single-leg too well. He was never anything other than fight game ephemera.
The thing was always a matter of time.
As the people began to file into BankAtlantic Center to watch the myth of Kimbo Slice fight, backstage a hundred people were bumping into each other searching for solutions. It boiled down to either cancelling the fight, which could be a fiasco beyond repair for all involved. Or they could find an alternative to replace Shamrock. And, with Arlovski-Nelson the only other heavyweights on the card and non-separable, there were two in consideration: Aaron Rosa, the Texan…or Seth Petruzelli, who had recently been cut by the UFC. /QUOTE]

A look at Chargers odds 'n' ends after Combine
There will be a market for Vincent Jackson, and some team will give him more than $10 million a year on a long-term deal.
That's about all that appears certain, as Jackson's side and other teams await word on what the Chargers will do.
It appears they'll continue waiting for a while.
The team is seemingly content to let Jackson field offers elsewhere before making their play for the man who leads them in receiving yards over the past four seasons despite missing 10 games in a contract dispute in 2010.
Several people around the league, including people with teams interested in Jackson, have expressed the opinion that the Chargers will ultimately franchise their star wide receiver by the March 5 deadline. Chargers sources continue to place the chances of Jackson being given the franchise tag (and the $13.7 million it would require) at less than 1 percent, but they also insist it is an option.
The Chargers appear to be banking on the top end of the wide receiver market not being as lucrative as projected – a notion that does have legs, according to some in the league – and Jackson wanting to stay in San Diego will work in their favor. In fact, sources familiar with Jackson's thinking say he would take less to stay in San Diego.
Among other tidbits about the Chargers gleaned over the past week while lurking around Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, where the free agent market began to be set and teams' plans came into focus:
• The Chargers have one of the top two centers (Nick Hardwick) and top two left tackles (Jared Gaither) on the market. That doesn't mean either is going to get top money at their position, but it does mean they won't be cheap. There is interest on all sides to stay together.
• Left tackle Marcus McNeill will be released, perhaps as soon as the end of this week. Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith acknowledges only that "Marcus has medical issues we're concerned about, and we're working our way through that process." However, the team cannot justify the $10 million salary guaranteed McNeill if he is on the roster on March 16. McNeill's spine issues will have to be evaluated by other teams before it is known if he will continue playing.
• With McNeill out and Kris Dielman retiring, the Chargers will be without the players they envisioned being the left side of their offensive line for years to come. But the team will gain a little more than $10 million in salary cap room. Dielman will have $1.7 million in dead money, but he was due $4.5 million in salary and a $1 million roster bonus. McNeill received a $5 million advance last year which counted as a signing bonus, leaving the Chargers $5.2 million in dead money that will count toward the 2012 cap.
• With so many other holes to fill and with him having filled in as a starter for 15 games at two positions over the past two seasons, it appears the Chargers are set to go with Tyronne Green at left guard now that Dielman is retiring. While the team always believed Green was a guard, his ascension on the depth chart moves Colin Baxter to at least No.2 at center.

A popular feature at Texas A&M home football games at Kyle Field returns this football season and will be spotlighted on the Kyle Field videoboard. The "Bugle Call" celebrates Aggie fans who have extraordinary Aggie Spirit and have been showcasing that passion for the maroon & white at Kyle Field for an extraordinarily long time.
We have created a means for you to nominate your special Aggie football fan for this unique recognition.
Consider the following criteria:
1. How long have they been coming to Kyle Field for Aggie football games?
2. What is unique about their support? (Examples such as a Longtime Season Ticket Holder, hosting famous Tailgates, they may be the unofficial Yell Leader of their section or simply the World's Best Aggie Mom or Dad or your favorite Maroon-Blooded Aggie Fan!)
3. Why do they deserve the crowd's applause?
Using the form below, tell us their Aggie Football story in a short synopsis. They must be in attendance to the game if nomination accepted. Nominations chosen will be notified via email at least 2 weeks in advance of each home game recognition for the 2014 season.
We will want pictures of your Aggie IF your nomination is selected for one of the 2014 home games BUT no photos should be emailed until contacted.
