Power creep can't be avoided, right? Developers have to make new content to keep people interested in the game. And themepark games have to have a linear progression, right? We also don't want the disparity between the new players and the old players to be too great because it will discourage population growth. Then how in the world do we stop this never-ending cycle? How do we keep MMO progression fun and interesting without content falling off the end of the treadmill?
I'm just an armchair developer, but from what I can deduce, developers conceptualize MMORPGs backward. If we take a hard look at the recent releases, from Star Wars: The Old Republic to Guild Wars 2, we can see that a lot of development time was spent on what a player would be doing as she attempted to reach max level. Most MMOs are like that. World of Warcraft exemplifies this design; in fact, the leveling process is so important to WoW that the developers reinvent it with each expansion. With this type of development, the endgame usually falls short. If I were to design a game, I would start with the endgame, where players will spend the majority of game time, and then develop how a player gets there.
For the vast majority of themepark-style MMOs, gear progression is handled incorrectly as well. As I mentioned at the beginning, gear and dungeons eventually become obsolete. They are no longer useful because newer gear and dungeons out-power them. Some newer themeparks like The Secret World are starting to recognize this issue and have implemented some mechanical ways around it, such as expanding the number of abilities or weapons that a player can use. My friends and I like to call this horizontal progression. At level cap, my strikes aren't any more powerful than those of anyone else at level cap, but I possibly have a greater number of abilities to call on.
By no means am I saying that we should turn a themepark into a sandbox with skill-based characters. If I were to design a themepark MMO, it would still have level progression. A linear or semi-linear story does keep a game interesting. However, once a character hits max-level, I would not increase the stat bonuses to gear but rather would grant bonuses to existing abilities or additional abilities based on which type of gear the character happens to be wearing. For instance, let's say a mage's fireball ability usually has a two-second cast timer, but with the complete set of Burning Aura gear, fireball changes to an instant cast ability. Each of the different sets of armor gained from different raids or dungeons would augment different playstyles or help assist in other content.
The power creep phenomenon makes content obsolete in other ways, too. Do you remember how difficult that first raid boss was to beat the first time you encountered him? Wouldn't you get the feeling of accomplishment back if your current gear didn't hit him for a bazillion points of damage now? What about that heroic dungeon at the beginning of the game? Wasn't that fun? Your friend finally joined this game; wouldn't it be nice if you could join him as he leveled without costing him XP or making the content far too easy?
I am completely surprised that more MMOs have not caught on to the wonder that is sidekicking. When I first saw this mechanic in City of Heroes, I was floored. Finally, a game developer is thinking outside the box; I can't wait to see this implemented in more games. That was about eight years ago. I'm just now seeing new MMOs release with a side-kicking mechanic. Thank you, Guild Wars 2.
If I were to build a new MMO, each zone would have an optimal level, and each player would be automatically bolstered to that level. Games like SWTOR would make this implementation extraordinarily easy. Each planet in SWTOR has a level cap. If a player lands on that planet, automatically set her level to that level, but base her XP gain on her actual level. This will allow higher-level characters to help out lower-level characters -- a mentoring system.
I know I'm only scratching the surface of what can be done with a horizontal progression system. However, I would like to mention another system that should be implemented to help prevent power creep: guild bonuses. And I'm not talking about bonuses for which a guild or group does something once and never has to do it again, like gaining titles and achievements. Although titles and achievements are great, tying bonuses to them only increases power creep.
I suggest bonuses tied to weekly or monthly achievements. Your guild has defeated the Lich King in less than one hour, so you gain a crit bonus to crafting this week. Developers can even grant bonuses to guilds that finish specific content first on that server. Of course, there would have to be limitations so that one guild didn't dominate, but it would make the older content useful again.
There are so many different ways power creep can be prevented. I've touched on a few. What other things can developers can do prevent power creep from becoming a problem? What can be done in your favorite MMO so that you will revisit older content?

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) _ Some county health officials are concerned that the state's decision to stop providing free HIV testing in most Kansas counties will cause a drop in services for people with the virus.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment notified most county counseling and testing providers last November that it would no longer provide free HIV testing, starting in January.
The Kansas Health Institute says the state will continue to provide the service in 10 counties, which are generally the most populous and have more cases of HIV.
The Hutchinson News reports (http://bit.ly/Ybxd9A ) state officials cut the service in counties will low instances of HIV in order to use the funds more efficiently. And the new federal health care law is expected to make more people eligible for the testing.

Instant turnaround won't be easy for struggling Texas
Instant turnaround won't be easy for UT
Nebraska has no intention of being hospitable
October 12, 2010
Photo By TOM FOX/The Dallas Morning NewsAaron Williams spent last week trying to forget about the loss to rival Oklahoma on Oct. 2.
AUSTIN — Given the weekend off by his coaches, Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert played a round of golf with his father. His accuracy was poor, his execution was less than perfect, but he did not keep score.
Michael Huey, as proud and competitive a cook as there is in any kitchen in Central Texas, feasted on some of the best meals he's had all year. The offensive lineman let his mother do the cooking.
And Aaron Williams, the most relentless talker on the UT defense, found a spot outside the tiny town of Florence where no one could tell him to shut up. Alone by choice, he sat in an empty field and looked for doves, emptying his shotgun of shells and his mind of painful memories.
"You've got to forget it," said Williams, whose fumble on a punt return sealed the Longhorns' loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 2. "As much as it hurts you inside, you've got another football game to play."
On a two-game losing streak for the first time in three years and unranked for the first time in a decade, the Longhorns each found their own approach to healing last week. And they won't have to wait long to find out if it worked.
Not only do they have to play on the road this Saturday, they're charged with the task of facing No. 5 Nebraska. The Cornhuskers (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) have been one of college football's most dominant teams this season and still hold a grudge about the way Texas beat them in last year's Big 12 Championship Game. The Huskers built their whole offseason marketing campaign around beating UT.
Cast in a foreign role as significant underdogs, the Longhorns (3-2, 1-1) believe there's a simple reason they can turn their season around with a win over the Cornhuskers.
"We're not really used to losing around here," wide receiver James Kirkendoll said. "And we don't want to feel this way again."
To try to ensure that, UT essentially started over last week. The Horns reanalyzed everything from game preparation to red-zone play-calling and held grueling, physical practices that safety Blake Gideon said reminded him of "some two-a-day fun."
"You could see the aggression in all the coaches," Gideon said.
The coaches had plenty to occupy their time. Mack Brown- who is 12-0 in games following the OU matchup - said in addition to trying to make schematic fixes, his staff worked to restore each player's confidence.
Restoring the confidence required more than one approach.
"Some need to sing and laugh and dance," Brown said. "Some need to be angry. Some need to be complimented. ... You have to be a semi-psychiatrist."
And much like what the Longhorns are looking for on offense, the answer might be a little of everything.
"I definitely think there is a balance," Gilbert said of being relaxed and feeling pressure. "And we're trying to find that."

A lot of ppl, including myself, assumed that when they called her the Insect Queen of the Liberators they actually meant Swarm. But there are a lot of discrepancies that don't really fit. Swarm was a mutant from Syria. Petra is a Georgian scientist woman, not a mutant.
IMO the Insect Queen is not Swarm, but is this just sloppy writing, maybe we are to believe she was a part of the invading forces and not one of the core Liberators, or maybe this is all a more complex thing that Fury has set up and will be developed in the future?
i dont know, I'm just wondering what people think out here. I mean really... if she is Swarm... they couldnt have just said "She was Swarm of the Liberators"? Its not that hard to look up what her name was... not to mention the backstories do not match at all.

Turkish coffee
While in Turkey you must try Turkish coffee! It is made of a roasted and the minced coffee beans. The taste of turkish coffee is really strong!
Now, here are the instructions for making a perfect cup of turkish coffee:
1. For every cup of coffee you require, pour an equal amount of cold water into a cold ibrik (ibrik is that small pot on the pic in which you make the coffee).
2. For every cup required, add two coffee spoons of our Turkish coffee.
3. Most people prefer Turkish coffee with sugar, although it can be drunk without (sade). Add two coffee spoons of sugar to the ibrik for every cup required to make a medium sweet brew. Adjust to suit your individual taste.
4. Mix the water, sugar and coffee in the ibrik once with the coffee spoon.
5. Place the ibrik onto the top of a stove and cook on the lowest possible flame.
6. As the mixture begins to simmer, the surface of the mixture will begin to foam up. As it appears, pour it (the foam, and only the foam) in equal measures into each cup.
7. Continue the above instruction until all the mixture has gone (2 boils should be enough).
8. The coffee should be allowed to settle for a minute or two before drinking to allow the sediments to settle.
9. Turkish coffee is traditionally accompanied with a glass of cold water.

Evil eye
Nazar Bonjuk is a Turkish good-luck "evil eye" charm.
The Nazar Bonjuk was born of the age-old "evil eye" superstition that one person can cast a spell on another. To prevent this, form millennia Anatolian artisans have created blue glass "eyes" that "look" straight back at the spell-caster as if to say "I see what you're doing, and you can't get away with it!"
Nazar Bonjuk evil eye charms are hand-crafted of blown glass in Turkey, and appear in many shapes and sizes.

About Turkish people
I would say that local custom in Turkey is that all the Turkish people are extremely polite, nice and very helpful when it comes to tourists. For example, near our hotel there was one small shop (on the pic) where you could buy newspapers, and the owners were so nice and always with a smile on their faces! It's just something that you don't see every day!

The Boncuk / Evil Eye Amulet.
This amulet against evil eye is very typical in Turkey. You can find it all over Turkey and women use it as a bracelet, earrings or necklace. Turkish people use it hanged in their house, office and also in their car, also babies have it hanged in their cloths. It should be mainly blue and look like an eye. There are very different sizes but the shape is usually round. The Turkish name for this amulet that protects one from the evil eye is nazar boncuk.
This one is the most original turkish evil eye amulet and can be hanged at your house, office, car or anywhere else you want to protect from bad energy !
Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is tradionally prepared in a small copper pot called Cezve. Heat together at the same time coffee powder, water and sugar on a low flame. When the liquid boils, then serve the 'Kahve' in small mocca cups. There are three types to order : 'sade' (without sugar), 'orta' (the Turkish word for medium, in this case little sugar) and 'sekerli' (for sweet). By the way - perhaps you will find someone here or around Bodrum, who will read your future from the coffee grounds. This is a very popular here in Turkey
Tukish tea
Tea is national drink of Turkish people. They drink tea daily in their lives both in breakfast and in evening. Turkish people are famous in hospitality and enjoy to serve tea to their guests. About 160.000 tons of black tea are consumed in Turkey every year.

Market days of Bodrum
In all cities in Turkiye there are local markets, that set their tents and represents colorful clothes, Vegetables and fresh fruits..
For many tourists, these markets can be a good opportunity to make shopping..
And here is a list of Local market days around Bodrum peninsula..
Mondays : Güvercinlik
Tuesdays : Bodrum (fabrics and clothing)
Wednesdays : Gümüslük and Ortakent
Thursdays : Bodrum (food) and Yalikavak
Fridays : Bodrum (food) and Bitez
Saturdays : Turgutreis (food and clothing)
Sundays : Mumcular and Gumbet
There is a flea market every first sunday of the month in Bitez
The Nazar Boncuk
The boncuk is a blue ornate glass symbol that is alleged to protect the wearer from the "evil eye" and while the Turks are not as superstitious as in days of old, the tradition to display and wear these glass jewels is still as strong as ever. You cannot go into a shop, bar or restaurant in the peninsula without seeing one displayed to pretect the premises - but Bodrum does a roaring trade in selling them to tourists. They come in all sizes from miniscule wallet size varieties up to large plate size for displaying in houses, they come as plates, dishes, cups, art work for walls, pens, necklaces and bracelets...they are a must have memory of your time in this part of the world.
Legend has it that the boncuk will trap the evil eye should it be in the vicinity - when you buy the nazar boncuk if it ever cracks or breaks then it has done what it was designed for and caught the evil before it gets to you!!! Turkish mothers are said to put one on their babies when they are born to prevent any bad luck but in shops in the resort you may find yourself offered one by a shop keeper, accept it graciously!
Giving Tips
Many turkish bar staff earn minimal wage which can be very low indeed - for this they are expected to work punishing hours and still be nice to us the tourist. The tips we give them are so important in adding money to their small pay packets. Unfortunately the English have a reputation for being a bit stingy with the money! Round up the drinks order and let them keep what is actually a really smal sum to us but they are so grateful for these kindnesses.
Olive....Elixir of The Gods
Everybody going to Bodrum by land can see numerous olive trees. Region is well known with quality of its olives. Locals never prepare a table without olive oil. Salads and many dishes contain it. Here are a few examples:
mixed fries(pepper, tomato, egg plant, marrows etc.) with yoghurt, omelettes with local vegetables and herbs, green or black olive in olive oil(try it with some toast-excellent for a breakfast)

Shopkeepers Methods:Intense Experience!
Something that any newcomer to Turkey willhave to get ysed to very quickly is the methods used by shopkeepers, bar servers and restaurant waiting staff to convince you to come to their establishment.
It is common for the staff to be standing outside trying to entice you in with flattering comments, charm offensive and occassionally in your face tactics that can be quite unnerving to the tourist. It can be overwhelming and in busy parts of Bodrum, incessant.
Some of these people are only paid if they get people into these businesses but do not let this pressure you - if you want to read a menu, do and then either go in because you like what's on offer. If the staff are bothering you then be polite and firm in your insistence that you are only looking and actually intend to eat/drink/shop elsewhere. Often if you tell them you will try them later in the holiday this is enough to get them focussing on another customer. Try not to lose your temper :-)
The art of shopping in Turkey involves haggling. It is briliant fun because if you come from Western Europe it is something we don't get to try! If you find something you want try not to be too enthusiastic about it - it will be harder to get the deal if they know you really want it. Offer half the asking price and never go higher than you are willing to pay (the shopkeeper will never sell at a loss so you will both win and have great fun doing it). Turkish shop keepers are charming and will try anything to convince you to buy. Don't be offended by their forward attitude - they do this to be friendly more than intimidating. If you say no thankyou there will be no offense taken and you will have had a nice chat.
Remember that a deal is sealed when you shake on it - it would be very rude to retract the offer once you have agreed the deal :-)
Fresh Seafood, Bodrum, TR ...
Lots of seafood, fresh fish, squids, shrimps and the famous meze's ...
Thats what u have to taste for sure as u r in Bodrum peninsula ...
Turkish meze often consist of beyaz peynir (literally "white cheese"), kavun (sliced ripe melon), acılı ezme (hot pepper paste often with walnuts), haydari (thick strained yoghurt like the Levantine labne), patlıcan salatası (cold aubergine salad), kalamar (calamari or squid), enginar (artichokes), cacık (yoghurt with cucumber and garlic), pilaki (various foods cooked in a special sauce), dolma or sarma (rice-stuffed vine leaves or other stuffed vegetables, such as bell peppers).
The seafood is always fresh as its consumed on regular basis, sothat each day fishermen angle fresh to the table for the tourists and for the local citizens ...
A "must try" tip for Bodrum for yummy tastes ... :)

The Curves adjustment in Adobe Photoshop has a reputation for being challenging for some photographers. In this workshop, Photoshop expert Tim Grey takes you step by step through every aspect of the Curves adjustment, helping you truly understand the concepts behind it so that you can quickly and easily maximize tonal range, optimize contrast, and enhance your photos' color balance. Note: This course was recorded in Photoshop CS5, but was created with users of both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS4 in mind.
I used to make jokes about the posterization effect you can achieve with the pencil feature in the curves adjustment. But then, I realized that every time I would make those jokes, at least a few folks in the audience articulated that they actually liked the effect. And I thought I was the only one who thought it was cool. It was then that I realized that such an extreme adjustment can actually be very effective in producing a creative image. Let's see how it's done. After adding a curves adjustment layer, you'll want to chose the pencil tool on the adjustments panel. Then simply draw a zig-zag curve.
If you use relatively small strokes, the effect will be relatively modest. What you're doing is increasing contrast in certain ranges of the image. And inverting colors in other areas of the image. The effect will be a posterized effect with some interesting color shifts. Of course here, I've drawn a very small zig zag pattern, and so the effect is hardly even visible. If you look closely though, you'll see that there is indeed a posterization effect. But lets's take a look at what you can do with an extreme adjustment.
I'll click and drag upward, and downward, and upward, and downward, in a huge sawtooth pattern. And as you can see, I get an extremely posterized, and very vibrant, image. I've got something of a rainbow effect going on in this case. What's better is that there are so many possibilities here. If you're not happy with the first result you get, simply click and drag back and forth in various different ways. Vary the size of the pattern. Vary the width of each stroke. Vary how many strokes in total there are. Vary it as you move up and down the curve, making some portions of it large versus small.
You can get incredibly creative here, applying any adjustment you'd like. It is a little unpredictable but that actually adds to the fun. So experiment around and find something that works for any image and you just might find a great new creative interpretation. Utilizing the pencil tool within curves, you can apply a virtually unlimited range of creative effects on any image you'd like. From a basic posterazation effect to a dramatic artistic effect, just about anything is possible.

After taking a 2-1 loss to Anderson County two weeks ago, the Henry County Ladycats are at a turning point in their volleyball season, and coach Jon Kasten hopes his team keeps walking away from the disappointing Anderson match instead of backing up.
Sports Editor
Henry County High School freshman Garrett Black became the first golfer in school history to play in the boys' All "A" Classic State Golf Tournament when he took on some of the best small-school golfers from across the state at the Gibson Bay Golf Course in Richmond Saturday.
Black had to deal with a hot and muggy day, along with a very tough course, and finished with a 99 for 18 hilly holes. His goal was to break 100, which he bettered by one stroke during a slow-played tournament.
In what Steve Frommeyer dubbed a "bizarre and unusual" fourth quarter, Eminence was able to hold off Trimble County down the stretch for a slim 26-24 victory, which gave the Warriors a perfect 3-0 start to the football season.
The Henry County Ladycats celebrated their biggest soccer win in school history last Thursday against Waggener, scoring their first goal less than a minute into the game and cruising in for a 10-1 unchallenged victory.
The Ladycats opened their inaugural varsity season with a 2-1 win over Whitefield Academy Aug. 19, then followed with losses to Spencer County (2-1) Aug. 25, Jeffersontown (4-3) Aug. 28 and Kentucky Country Day (3-1) last Tuesday. The Waggener win left them at 2-3 heading into this week.
For the Henry County High School boys' soccer team, the first 40 minutes against Whitefield Academy last Monday was its best of the season. The host Wildcats played stall-ball to slow down the high-scoring Whitefield squad and conserve energy, while allowing just one goal.
The Henry County Ladycats were aiming for a higher finish at their first All "A" Classic State Golf Tournament, but a fifth-place finish was a solid showing for a squad performing on the biggest stage they had ever been on.
As expected, the Eminence runners were about a minute slower at Saturday's Rumble in the Jungle than they were at Tuesday's Henry County meet at Harry Hill Park. Due to heat-related illnesses, Eminence coach Scott McClamroch said, the Oldham County EMS responded to 74 runners in Goshen, which led to the slower-than-normal times for the Warriors.
After the Henry County Wildcats were ranked No. 1 among Class 3A teams in the first Litkenhouse Rankings released last week, questions filled the air about how the Wildcats would respond heading into their third game of the season.
Twice the Henry County cross country team took the course for races last week, and both times the Cats, who have an unpredictable road ahead with a roster full of new runners, improved as the season continues to progress. Henry hosted a meet at Harry Hill Park last Tuesday, then competed in the Rumble in the Jungle Saturday, hosted by North Oldham High School.
Under near-perfect weather at the Henry County Country Club last Wednesday, the locally-based Friends For Michael organization hosted its annual FFM Golf Scramble & Celebrity Auction.
The event attracted 36 four-person teams, including the winning foursome from Toyota of Georgetown, and numerous celebrities. Not counting money raised from sponsors, FFM was able to make around $12,000, president and founder Cindy Norton said afterwards.

I am trying to create a WordPress theme from a web layout and was wondering if I could have a bit of help. I know there are a lot of experienced theme makers out there and I am sure there is one little thing wrong that is throwing me off.

I work with two trainers. Neither of them sell horses, though they're doing their best to spread the word about mine. One my trainers would take him if she could make it work financially (and I'm still trying to poke at that option and see if I can work something out with her.)
I can't afford to lose ~90% of what I paid for him in selling him for $500. I'm not going to do that. I don't know if anyone else can afford to lose $4000 in a year and still buy another quality horse, but I can't. To be clear, I am not sending him to a rescue or anything like that. I would rather keep him and keep working with him until I find someone with whom I can reach an agreement, and/or he's at the level of training to justify what I'm asking. If the only way I can sell him is at an enormous loss, then it's an impasse, because I won't be able to buy another horse of the kind I need, and I'd rather have my problem pony than be horseless.
I'm selling him as a hunter potential because he's ribboned in hunter flat classes and has stellar knees-to-chin jump form. I'm selling him as dressage potential because we've done well in eventing-dressage and he has lovely movements with nice impulsion. He has competed and done very well in a couple of B shows, including the Half Arabian Hunter Pleasure Open last weekend with a junior rider. I'd love to take him to more shows but (let me sing you the song of my people) I have trouble affording it. I still may try to take him to the next one available.
Edit: He's not suitable for eventing because he's terrified of cross-country.

Logitech QuickCam Sphere
3.5 out of 5
Poorly executed outside core functions
Logitech has attempted a new approach with its latest webcam. The QuickCam Sphere follows you as you jostle around your desk. But does it work? We dance like a dervish and put it to the test.
In the future we'll all talk face to face, none of this instant messaging stuff, no learning what the "7" key represents in a text message (that's L337 meaning "elite", folks- sub-Ed) no "l8r m8" or "lol", "rotfl" and "rtfm" phrases to decode. Life will be simple - all apart from you having to sit in a rigid position as you stare into your webcam. Perhaps the future isn't so bright. Perhaps we should keep with the text messages and phone calls? Logitech however has different ideas and with the QuickCam Sphere hopes to bring webcam correspondence back to life with a web camera that tracks your movement. Why, I hear you ask? - so you can move around to your heart's content without being out of the picture.
Styled in a black casing the bubble like unit is fairly sleek and looks more like a kitchen timer from an expensive designer shop or Sunday supplement catalogue than the latest in video conferencing. Perched on a smallish base it can be raised in height by an addition 22cm post enclosed in the box. The footprint is still the same, and the extended webcam soon takes on an alien War of the Worlds feel. A 2.7m USB lead in the box means there is enough cable to place it anywhere on your desk.
Turn it on and you get a decently specified webcam that can record video up to 640 x 320 and still snap shots of 1280 x 980. White balance can be set according to your situation and there are five settings including outdoors for you to choose from. All the other setting you would expect to see are featured. Brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma control, and black and white are all present and with the ability to capture up to 30 frames per second- so nothing seems missing.
Flick the software switch to enable tracking and the device will try its hardest to keep your face in the centre of the screen. Move around and the camera moves with you up to 180º tilt and a 60º pan. For the user that likes to duck and dive you can also set the zoom to track as well and this will make sure you head is roughly the same size all the time.
While this sounds like a fantastic idea in tests the webcam was slow to keep up. If you move at a sloth's pace then you can just about get away with it, yet every so often you find yourself looking at the feedback monitor to see that all the camera is displaying is your left shoulder. Furthermore during a web chat session fellow correspondents complained of a dizzy feeling as the camera did its best to re focus and re zoom as we bobbed and weaved.

RedHAT didn't like nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440
View Single Post
Posts: n/a
I'm running a Visiontek GeForce4 Xtasy MX440 under RedHat7.3. The default drivers with RH7.3 also locked my system up when starting the X server. Downloaded and installed the latest drivers (version 1.0-2960) from the nVidia website to correct the problem. Since you can't start the X server, you'll need to boot up in non-graphical mode (run level 3, I believe) and install the drivers there. Don't recall off-hand exactly how I got set up to boot to non-graphical. I believe there was some sort of recovery or shell option on the installation CD that I used modify my /etc/inittab file. Anyway, however you do it, you need to modify the default run level in the /etc/inittab file to run level 3 (or whatever level full-up non-graphical is... assuming my memory may be a little foggy! It tells you what levels are what via comments in this file.) There may also be other ways to boot non-graphical... anybody???
Anyway, once you're booting non-graphical, you can install the new drivers, modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file using vi, and type startx to try out your setup. If you manage to get locked up, simply reboot back around and have at your XF86Config-4 file again to correct whatever is goofed. Keep this up until startx correctly fires up X. Once everything is working, you can then modify the /etc/inittab file back to graphical default if you'd like.
Best of Luck!

Mrs. Kentucky America Kristi Gowen Riggs visited last week with the owners of My Gal Boutique and MAM Candy.
Riggs was there – in gown and tiara – to film a promotion for Sunday's benefit fashion show at LaRue County High School. The fashion show was sponsored in part by the businesses.
Riggs, a LaRue County native and 1995 graduate of the high school, was unable to attend the event, which benefited the school's Youth Service Center, but said she would "be there in spirit."
Representatives from Warm Blessings Soup Kitchen gathered at KNB for the transfer of the deed for the property at 609 E. Dixie Ave., Elizabethtown, in which Warm Blessings operates the meal program.

Gowdy and Vienise Hash of Taylor County celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sept. 18, 2010.
A reception in their honor was hosted by their children at the Rolling K Ranch with more than 200 attending.
The couple were married on Sept. 24, 1960, in Celina, Tenn., by the Reverend Alex Nichols at the United Methodist Church.
Both retired from Fruit of the Loom.
They have two sons, Anthony Hash and Greg Hash; and four grandchildren.
Angela and Ben Roberts of Elizabethtown announce the birth of a daughter, Addilyn Grace Roberts.
Addilyn Grace was born at 1:08 a.m. Jan. 21, 2011, at Hardin Memorial Hospital. She weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces and was 18-inches long.
Maternal grandparents are Dan and Maxine Davis of Louisville.
Paternal grandparents are John and Diane Roberts of Hodgenville.
Great-grandmother is Elizabeth Gordon.
The LaRue County High School Class of 1975 held its 35th reunion Nov. 27, 2010, at the LCMS cafeteria. The meal was catered by South Fork Homemakers.
Decluttering your closet is a liberating experience. Life begins to feel more manageable and your clothing and shoes are better suited to who you are now.
If tackling all of the closets at once is to too daunting, set aside a firm two-hours each week and clear one room's closet at a time. Start by getting four large boxes. Label them keep, throw out, donate and not sure.
Few cancers are as easily prevented as colon cancer. Yet in Kentucky, about 2,600 new cases will be diagnosed each year and about 900 people will die. March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Call your doctor and ask about a screening test that's right for you. Routine screening is highly effective. Nine out of 10 colon cancers may be prevented or cured if detected early.
It would be difficult to top becoming a contestant on "American Idol."
But for Hodgenville teen Kenzi Lewis, a trip to Rupp Arena comes close.
The 15-year-old has been chosen to sing the National Anthem at the boys' Sweet 16 basketball tournament March 19. She will perform at the 10 a.m. semi-final session.
Lewis drew plenty of attention last month when she appeared on American Idol. She was sent home after "group night."
She earned the trip to Hollywood from her audition last summer in Nashville, Tenn.
The brain is an amazing organ. It controls all bodily functions, all organs, thoughts, emotions, memory and ability to be self-aware. Like other body parts, it is natural for the brain to lose some its sharpness; but it can deteriorate even more if you do not take care of it.
The Hosparus Thrift Shoppe in Elizabethtown is selling new and gently used formal dresses for the approaching prom season. The Shoppe recently received a donation of new dresses, sizes 8-24, in a variety of styles and colors and they are $20 each. The Shoppe is accepting donations of new and gently used formalwear.
Moira Taylor, Shoppe manager, encourages donations of last season's dresses. "It's a great way to recycle a dress that can't be worn again and it will help a great cause," she said. Donations of tuxedos are also welcome.

FRESNO, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Chairman & CEO, Paul Willis stated, "Just like his previous career at a large agribusiness company, Dr. Mark E. Whitacre has risen fast at Cypress Systems, Inc, last month being named the company's chief operating officer and president of operations." Now Cypress and Whitacre are focusing their energy on an aggressive cancer prevention campaign in order to get Americans -- and people around the world -- to consume a special type of selenium known as SelenoExcell(R). SelenoExcell(R) was found in a gold-standard human clinical trial to dramatically reduce colon, prostate, and lung cancers.

*(Photo Caption: Dr. Mark E. Whitacre.)
Mark Whitacre is the subject of a motion picture to be filmed starting next month, titled, "The Informant," with box office mega star Matt Damon playing Whitacre. However, Whitacre's real mission in life and main passion for the future is focused on the role of selenium and SelenoExcell(R) as a cancer prevention agent. Cypress believes that with the anticipated media coverage related to the movie, there will be a window of opportunity to raise public awareness for SelenoExcell(R) and cancer prevention.
Awarded his Ph.D. at Cornell University, Dr. Whitacre did his research thesis on the biochemical role of selenium at the cellular level. His research was conducted jointly with a world-renowned selenium scientist, Dr. G.F. Combs, Jr. Dr. Whitacre today stated, "Although sadly underutilized, selenium has the potential to have the most profound impact upon dietary cancer prevention of any nutrient we know of today."

These homemade treats are full of pumpkin and whole grains. That makes them perfect for Halloween and Food Day. (I can't pass up a chance to add a little Halloween twist this time of the year!)
This is my first year being aware of Food Day, but it seems to fit in with all the things I hold dear. I buy from local farmers who treat their workers well and pay a living wage whenever I can. And nothing makes me happier than helping people make their favorite recipes healthier.
Halloween is not the healthiest of holidays and cookies are not the healthiest of foods. But you can make a few small changes and move the healthy dial up a few notches.
You already know I'm keen on whole wheat pastry flour which adds some fiber . The ground flax mixed with water makes a perfect egg substitute and is high in many B vitamins and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. So those alone make this cookie worth taking a look at.
Want to healthy these cookies up even more? Use 1/2 the amount of brown sugar and about 1/4 teaspoon stevia – or use all stevia (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon) and a little extra flour (or less nondairy milk) to make the texture just right. You can also find chocolate chips that are grain-sweetened if you want to remove all the processed sugar out of them.
- Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or use a gluten-free baking mix to make this gluten-free)
- ¾ cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- Wet ingredients:
- 1½ cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with 4 tablespoons warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Extras:
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil 3 cookie sheets (or cover them in parchement so you don't have to use added oil).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, then mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry one, adding up to an additional ½ cup milk if the mixture is too thick, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a small cookie scoop (1 to 1½ tablespoons) scoop cookies about 1 inch apart and bake for 10 to 15 minutes depending on how soft or crunchy you like your cookies. (Cook longer to make them crunchy.)
This recipe makes 3 dozen so there's plenty to share with your neighbors and their kids for a homemade Halloween treat.

Catholic peace group seeks to spread Franz Jägerstätter's story
The Friends of Franz Jägerstätter peace group have turned their focus to young Christians in spreading their message of nonviolence.
The Friends of Franz Jägerstätter peace group have turned their focus to young Christians in spreading their message of nonviolence.
Q and A: Franciscan Fr. Michael Perry said Pope Francis should keep in mind the message of St. Francis and the Gospels.
Fewer rebels had grander visions for disarmament and world peace than Garry Davis, and fewer still of these dissidents acted as practically, emphatically, spiritually, personally and -- while we're at it -- morally to show the way.
It began on May 25, 1948, when the 26-year-old former Broadway actor and B-17 bomber pilot in World War II walked into the American embassy in Paris to renounce his U.S. citizenship and claim world citizenship. Stateless and believing the planet should be borderless, he became an Earthian.
Q and A: Those wondering if history is repeating itself in regards to U.S. intervention in the Middle East need only look back 11 years.

Cardinal Francis George was to be the main celebrant at the funeral Mass Monday with Auxiliary Bishop Francis Kane, vicar general, will be the homilist. Burial was to follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside.

Product description
Envied by Caligula, exiled by Claudius and finally executed by his pupil Nero, the playwright and philosopher Seneca the Younger (c. 4BC-65BC) wrote in a violent, epigrammatic and extreme style which has often seemed excessive to those living in calmer times. Yet he was extremely influential upon writers and poets ranging from Shakespeare and Marvell to T.S. Eliot and Ted Hughes. This is an anthology of verse versions of Seneca from the Middle Ages to the Present Day, with a special concentration upon Elizabethan verse drama.

The distinguished critic Christopher Ricks is the general editor of this splendid new series: volumes that select from the many translations of classic foreign authors, and provide both an introduction in English, as well as a lesson in how translation has changed over the decades. Given Seneca's importance to the style and substance of Renaissance English drama, it's not surprising that many of the Roman tragedian's translators flourished during the 16th century, when Wyatt, Kyd, Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, Gascoigne, and Tourneur - to name just some of the many sampled here - sought to capture the violence in Seneca's oratorical style. Though translated throughout later centuries, the occasionally bombastic playwright has flourished again only in modern versions, here represented by Eliot, Ted Hughes, and the very recent work of Kelly Cherry and Dana Gioia.
