Torres heads west to join the Canucks
As reported by Rogers Sportsnet last night, the Vancouver Canucks signed LW Raffi Torres to a one-year, $1m deal. Torres, a noted Canuck killer throughout his career, brings much needed grit and added scoring depth to the bottom six of the offensive roster.
That is assuming he stays healthy and actually plays with some consistency.
Raffi Torres is a 20-goal scorer. That much he has proven, even when hurt. Whenever you can get a 20-goal scorer in your line-up for $1m, you have to consider that a bargain.
How did GM Mike Gillis manage to sign a 20-goal scorer at such an affordable rate, and so far under the radar? Torres ended last season without scoring. AT ALL. At the trade deadline, Torres (who had 19G in 60GP with Columbus) was traded to Buffalo. Once in Buffalo, his goal scoring died up completely. He didn't score a single goal while with Sabres, through the remaining 14 regular season games and the first four games of the playoffs. In fact, he was benched for Buffalo's last two playoff games.
So you would have to think that when a 20-goal scorer goes goal-less in 18 games and then gets benched in the playoffs that he's hit a career low in the NHL. This is precisely the reason why Gillis was able to sign Torres to such a cap-friendly number.
Torres fill a big need for the Canucks by adding grit and general nastiness to the third line. He also adds scoring depth, which will help while Alex Burrows recovers from shoulder surgery, possibly until December. Until Burrows returns, Torres may likely take a spot on the wing on the second line, while Samuelsson moves up to the top line with Sedins. If the Canucks' brass feels that Cody Hodgson is ready to stick with the big club, he may play on the second line, leaving Torres to remain on the third line.
While I like the signing from a perspective of both depth and cap-friendliness, my concerns about Torres are his consistency and lack of scoring in the playoffs. He is known to have long spurts without scoring and if that hits during the playoffs, the Canucks will again be relying on just their top 6 forwards to score. In his NHL career (stats courtesy of hockey-reference.com), Torres has a goals-per-game-played average of 0.227, which is almost a goal every 4 games. In other words, in a complete season, he'd be a 20-goal scorer. Pretty good. However in the playoffs his goals-per-game-played average is only 0.133, or one goal in every 7.5 games played. In other words, he scores goals at about half the pace in the playoffs as he does in the regular season. That's unsettling to say the least.
So while this deal is great for depth and the salary cap, it will all be worthless if Torres can't find his game in the post-season.
BONUS – Here is some fun with Torres as he appeared on The Daily Show.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Bill Taylor, Director of Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track and Field, and his staff usually have smiles all around when they remember the previous track and field and cross country seasons.
This year the smiles were even bigger than previous seasons.
"At the end of every season, for my six years so far at Lipscomb, I get the honor and joy of talking about the progress we have made and all the incredible improvement that has taken place," Taylor said. "And so it is again this year.
"Our men and women had yet another stellar year in every way. The bar has been set ever higher in our quest to be the best in the Atlantic Sun and the best in the nation."
Taylor stresses that when he says 'best' he is not referring just to the athletic side of the programs. But as part of the review he thinks that the athletic accomplishments are good place to start.
"Athletically we had our top finishes ever in Women's Indoor Track & Field, Men's Outdoor Track & Field and Women's Outdoor Track & Field," Taylor said. "In all four sports we tied or beat our highest team finish ever. In three of the four we tied or beat our highest point total ever. In two of the four we had the most All-Atlantic Sun honors we've ever had.
"We had the most A-Sun Athletes of the week we've ever had…almost as many this season as we have had total in the history of the program. We had our first ever A-Sun MVP, and our first two A-Sun Track Athletes of the Year. We had by far the most A-Sun Champion honors we've ever had."
The accomplishments for the track programs went beyond excellence in the conference.
"We qualified our first ever runner to the NCAA I National Championship finals," Taylor said. "We qualified our first ever runner to the United States Track & Field National Championships. We qualified the most we've ever qualified to the U.S. Junior National Championships. And we had our first ever NCAA I All-American honoree."
The school record book was rewritten again with 31 records set.
Three A-Sun Championship records were also set by Lipscomb athletes - Dani Walker in the 3000m, Tucker Peabody in the 200m outdoor and Madi Talbert in the 3000m Steeplechase.
"We are known as a women's distance power," Taylor said. "That continues as we finished 1-4 in the A-Sun 5000m.
"We are also becoming known as a women's steeplechase power, having three different women win the past three A-Sun Championships, having had at least one woman earn All-A-Sun honors all six years that I've been here and having our first NCAA I National Championship runner qualify, in the Steeplechase."
This year the track teams enhance their reputations with their performances in a number of events.
"We had a young men's distance squad do some amazing things," Taylor said. "Four different freshmen ran in the 14s for 5000 meters this year. We had another freshman drop from about 1:58 to 1:53 PR in the 800 meters.
"Our hurdle crew swept the A-Sun 400m Hurdles. Tucker Peabody leads our sprints as one of the top sprinters in the entire nation. Our throws, jumps and vault continue to improve and make an impact in the conference and beyond. We are young, hungry, and talented and our best days are ahead of us athletically."
Academics are also an integral part of the track programs and this year was no exception in the classroom.
"Both teams will earn National Academic team honors for the sixth straight year," Taylor said. "Our women's team had the top Scholar-Athlete in the entire conference for both Indoor Track & Field (Dani Walker) and outdoor Track & Field (Tessa Hoefle).
"We had 22 athletes make the men's or women's A-Sun All-Academic team. There were a total of 50 spots available for athletes from all teams in the A-Sun (six teams), so we had nearly half the spots just with Lipscomb. In outdoor alone, there were 26 spots available. Lipscomb Track & Field had 13 of them."
Taylor and his staff also express a desire for the track and field athletes to be all-around students, not just dwelling on runner and the classroom.
"Socially, as a team, we continue to work in the community doing service projects and giving back," Taylor said. "We don't always publicize these activities because we are doing them to learn, grow and give to others.
"Spiritually, we had our fourth consecutive mission trip in December. Our time in Haiti at the Cap Haitien Children's Home was a life changing experience that we look forward to continuing in the future. Our teams continue to lead the way with team devotions and active involvement in their spiritual growth."
The track and field programs have also developed a reputation for the closeness of the teams. They are known for their enthusiasm in their support of their teammates at meets around the country.
"Our team environment continues to stand apart from other teams," Taylor said. "We are consistently one of the most supportive teams at every meet we go to. We continually get comments about how well we treat each other, how well we support each other, and how well we treat everyone else we come into contact with.
"Our character and behavior stand out and are very noticeable. We take pride in building a team family, and get great joy in taking care of each other. It makes this more fun, more rewarding and we reach a higher level of success because we are unified and a family."
Taylor is pleased with the results from his teams, but he is always looking for ways to get better as a program. It is a never-ending cycle.
"This truly has been the best year yet athletically, academically, socially, spiritually and in team environment. I am so proud of these programs and how committed they are in every way. Yet, just as we celebrate the success and experiences of this season, we already look to the next season.
"We look to get better yet again in every way. We want to take the program once again where it has never been before. We want to make more history. We want to write even better chapters to the story. We want to recruit the next class of amazing people to help write the story. And to have even more fun, if that is possible, than we have so far."
Taylor knows that success cannot be continued without good people surrounding his programs. He doesn't take anyone for granted.
"I want to say thank you 2013 Lipscomb Track & Field for the best year yet," Taylor said. "To our seniors, we thank you for your contribution in building something amazing. You are always part of this team. To our returners we thank you the same, as we look with excitement and anticipation about the story you will write next year, and the things you will achieve as we continue to strive for more success and greatness.
"To our Administrators, led by Athletic Director Philip Hutcheson and University President Dr. Lowry, along with Vice President Danny Taylor, and all the rest of our Athletic Department leadership, we thank you for your amazing support in helping us grow and succeed. To Head athletic trainer Will Ness and to our athletic trainer Jeremy Dobbs, thank you for taking care of us. To Mark McGee and Ryan Hilgemann, thank you for writing amazing stories for telling our story. To Steven Mason, thank you for making our athletes strong, and for leading all of our mission trips. And to Zak Vruwink, thank you for taking amazing pictures for us this season, and for your love for our team.
"I thank an amazing coaching staff for doing everything in their power to help our student-athletes succeed in every way, to supporting my vision for this program and to being committed to coaching excellence - Luke Syverson with jumps and throws and Marcus Evans with sprints and hurdles. I thank Jenny Randolph for helping me with distance, Randy Welch who volunteered his time with our throwers and Chad Roberts who worked most of the year as our operations coordinator."
Taylor is eagerly awaiting the new crop of athletes ready to start school in August.
"To our incoming freshmen, and future recruiting classes, we welcome you to the most unique and special team in the nation," Taylor said. "We cannot wait to see your fingerprints on our fun and success. We cannot wait to read your chapter in our history.
"Most of all, we thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is everything."

A map is a two-dimensional representation of part of the earth's surface. The earth's surface, of course, is not two-dimensional, which means that maps are a blatant fraud. This form of deceiving the reader was outlawed by the Catholic Church at the end 17th Century, in favor of more refined scams such as purchased absolutions.
The History of MapsEdit
Maps have been employed throughout the ages to illustrate, identify, obfuscate, the exact position of the letter 'X'. X is, of course, the most valuable of mathematical variables, followed by 'Y', and 'Z'. However, almost no one in the Middle Ages cared about the Y of things, and still fewer about the Z. This is because X marks the spot where everything is, and sometimes where something you wanted really badly was, too.
In the age of hunter-gatherers, before there was anything worthwhile in existence, maps showed people how to get from one place to another without being killed along the way. Consequently, maps are greatly missed in places like Baghdad, Antarctica, and Texas. Now, maps are generally ignored by most, and are even ridiculed on road trips as being "for wussies," assuming the driver is male. Meanwhile, children have shown some aptitude at map reading, but they seem unable to refold them correctly.
Sometimes on television, a token blonde bimbo will explain a weather pattern using a map festooned with iconic "smiley" sun-faces, sad cloud-faces, and apathetic Henry Kissinger faces. At shopping malls, maps are often displayed in order to point out the nearest haberdashery where velveteen rabbits can be purchased.
In 1799, the American Map Treasury burned down due to arson, and, as a consequence, most U.S. Americans today do not have access to maps. Efforts have been made to recreate the missing maps but they have all, as yet, failed. The UN is now working on allying U.S. America with the Iraq and other Asian countries in order to optimize education for us and our children.
The First MapsEdit
The first map ever produced dates back to the Shang Dynasty (1600 BCE), from the text of the I Ching. Confucius, trying desperately to make his students understand the idea of change, divination, the movement of the body, and the concept of the hot dog, simply gave up after six hours, and sent his favorite whipping-boy Lian Shan to the nearest enemy village to be killed for disrupting class. Directions to the enemy village would not be enough for this doorknob, however, so Confucius scribbled out a crude map. History was made that day, when Lian did not return.
Maps soon evolved from the primitive scribblings of holy men to elaborate illuminated scrolls, sometimes packaged as "atlases." In the 20th Century, people began to use mapping for things other than proving that other things were flat. The insides of computers, robots, and bomb-making materials all had to be carefully mapped, as it is vital in each endeavor not to get the red and green wires mixed up. Coincidentally, Copernicus first postulated that the world was non-flat while jotting down his shopping list on a map of Hell's Kitchen.

Frederick Binkerd Artz was born on October 19, 1894 in Dayton, Ohio to Joseph Elam (1867-1952) and May (Binkerd) Artz (1866-1953). He graduated from the public high school in Dayton in 1912 and in the fall of that year entered Oberlin College. At Oberlin College, one of Artz's favorite lecturers was Professor of English, Charles H.A. Wager (1869-1939). After graduating in 1916 Phi Beta Kappa and with an A.B. degree in history, he spent the year 1916-17 at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. There he taught courses in American, medieval, and modern European history. In the spring of 1917, Artz enlisted with the American Red Cross as an ambulance driver and joined the U.S. Army Ambulance Camp in Allentown, Pennsylvania in September of that year. The unit was called overseas in December to Contrexeville in the Vosges Mountains of Eastern France. During his military service, Artz kept a journal, which is included in his papers, Series IV.
At the end of World War I, Artz enrolled at the University of Toulouse (France) where he studied through the spring of 1919. Returning to the United States, he continued his graduate work in history at Harvard University, studying medieval French history under Charles Homer Haskins (1870-1937). Artz received the M.A. degree in 1920 and the Ph.D. degree in 1924, following a year of study at the University of Paris (1922-23). Oberlin College awarded Artz the honorary Litt.D. and the Oberlin College Alumni Medal in 1966; he also received the honorary Litt.D. from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1970.
Frederick Artz was one of the most distinguished scholars ever to teach history at Oberlin College. He taught courses in European intellectual history for thirty-seven years, from 1924 to 1961. In retirement, until 1966, he continued to offer the popular "Intellectual History of Modern Europe." He came to Oberlin as Acting Assistant Professor of History (1924-25), reaching the rank of Assistant Professor in 1925, Associate Professor in 1927, and full Professor in 1936. He served as Chairman of the Department of History from 1949 to 1957. In 1952, he was named to the Brooks Professorship, established by an endowed gift from Garry Brooks in 1881. From 1938 to 1949, he served on the General Faculty Library and Commencement Committees and on the College Faculty Committee on Graduate Study.
During his years at Oberlin, Artz is believed to have taught over 7,500 Oberlin students, of whom at least eighty-five went on to become historians themselves. One of Artz's most gifted students was Edwin O. Reischauer (1910-90; A.B. 1931), Professor of Far Eastern Languages at Harvard (1938-42; 1950-81) and U.S. Ambassador to Japan (1961-66). In 1964, Artz's former students honored him with A Festschrift for Frederick B. Artz (Durham: Duke University Press). As a teacher, Artz was celebrated for his encyclopedic mind and ability to synthesize the learning of several disciplines—music, art, literature, and theology—to convey the broad themes of western civilization. His special field of interest was France, and he returned there and to other European countries thirty-two times in his life, either as a tour guide with the Massachusetts-based Bureau of University Travel or as an independent scholar. During these travels abroad, he collected an impressive collection of 10,000 rare books, maps, and manuscripts, donated to the Allen Art Museum and Oberlin College libraries on his death. In 1940, along with his longtime friend Oberlin professor Raymond Stetson, Artz designed a spacious home at 157 North Professor Street in which to display his library, antiques, and objects d'art.
Artz published several important works of scholarship, most of them still in print. They include France Under the Bourbon Restoration, 1814-1830 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1931), awarded the silver medal by the French Institut Historique, and Reaction and Revolution 1814-1832 (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1934), the first of the "Rise of Modern Europe" series edited by William L. Langer (1896-1977). Several seminal articles on French technical education appeared in the Revue Historique Moderne and the Revue d'Histoire Moderne. Best known of all of his writings is the classic The Mind of the Middle Ages, 200-1500 (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1953), which entered its third edition in 1958 and was later released in paperback. Artz's numerous articles and book reviews appeared in the Saturday Review of Literature, the South Atlantic Quarterly, the Journal of Modern History, and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences. He served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Modern History (1932-35) and the Journal of Central European Affairs (1940-65). In 1964, Artz was the Charles Beebe Martin lecturer in Classics at Oberlin. In 1966 Kent State University Press published his lectures, titled "Renaissance Humanism, 1300-1500."
Throughout his career, Artz was active in the historical profession. He was a member of the Royal Historical Society, the College Art Association, the American Historical Association, the Medieval Academy of America, the Renaissance Society of America, the French Society of Modern History, the American Association of University Professors, and Phi Beta Kappa.
Frederick B. Artz died in Oberlin on July 20, 1983.
A photograph and biographical information about Frederick B. Artz are included in the digital collection "Oberlin College and Military Service in World War I," presented by the Oberlin College Archives.

'Terrorism is a crime against decency and humanity, whether it occurs on the streets of Paris or the streets of Jerusalem, whether those responsible are neo- Nazis or members of the PLO." '-, By Yitzhak Rabi NEW YORK, (JTA)-Two prominent Jewish leaders said today that there was an obvious connection between French .Middle East Policy and the recent wave of anti- Semitic acts in France, including the bombing of the Rue Copernic, Temple in Paris. That viewpoint was expressed by Howard Squadron, chairman of the Conferr ence of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and Rabbi Alexander Schindler,' president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), at a meeting of ^ the Presidents Conference- here. Squadron spoke of the meeting he had earlier last week with the French Ambassador to the U.S., Francois de la Boulez and Schindler reported on ' his ,visit to Paris recently to speak at.the bombed out synagogue. .-* 'A ■} \ t \ 'i / i LaJLl L / Plans for the November 11 "Evening With MIKE KELLIN" are being handled by Women's Division Advance Gifts Coordinator Linda Selcer (top photo, right).

"I have not seen any sign that the French government will reconsider its Middle East policy which is to appease and give respectability to the PLO," Squadron said, "to join prominently in every public criticism of Israel no matter how extravagant; and unjustified; to risk global catastrophe by providing nuclear knows-how to the radical regime in Baghdad in exchange for Iraqi oil; and generally to .sabotage the Camp'David peace process."

She is one of a few cats that have been at the shelter most of her life and probably was not adoptable. Since we have been so overcrowded at the shelter, I felt like this was the right time. She is so happy. She's doing things I have never seen her do at the shelter that tells me she is a happy girl. I'm keeping her separated for a little while until the other kitties warm up to her.
I think Quincy is trying to impress her.

Neenah Wedding Photographer: N + B
Tuesday, October 18, 2011This is the first of many, but I just HAD to put one up!
I am not your traditional photographer! I like to let the "clients" be who they are...kids! I work with the children from a playful approach interacting with them to capture their personality. I try to capture the little things that you love about your children, the way they giggle on the swing, or twirl their hair when deep in thought. These are the little moments which will be so memorable to look back on.
I am a mother of two young boys, therefore I understand that kids will need a break to have a snack or babies need a change. I want it to be a relaxed and fun environment for both the parents and the children. Welcome to my blog!

|How to Stay Away from Major Mistakes in Lead Generation
|no comments

|Lead Generation Service
|no comments
Experience is that the best teacher, or such a large amount of folks would create us believe. However if you actually believe it, that saying solely tells us 1/2 the reality. The opposite is learning from somebody else's mistakes and skill. Learning in every road makes a wise man and gets you a better level of success in all endeavors.
That said, here are the five common mistakes in sales lead generation and a few sensible recommendations on a way to avoid them:
1. Mine-is-better-than-others mentality. You're successful as a result of your higher than most of your competitors. Knowing which will naturally boost your ego and if you're not careful, that ego will hurt instead of facilitate your business if you stop listening and start thinking that your ideas are higher than others'.
2. Pitching instead of giving an answer. Several have failed in their lead generation campaigns due to this error. Rather than calling a possibility and giving one thing that actually edges him, several salespeople decision their potential customers with a pitch in mind.
3. Verbosity. This can be the foremost annoying common mistake that sends folks running for the hills. This happens when calling a possibility and you pay ensuing three hours talking regarding how nice your company or product is, and speak some a lot of regarding options and edges. Keep in mind that successful lead generation execs are smart listeners.
4. Right bait, wrong fish. Or place in otherwise, throwing your pearls before the swine. Save it slow generating leads by fishing on the correct facet of the boat. Grasp that results in ignore (those that don't simply close), and when to prevent calling those that are simply not interested. Grasp your market well and forged your pearls there.
5. Ignoring follow through. You've got gathered an honest list of prospects and then do nothing with them. It's tantamount to having a significant traffic of holiday makers to your web site and you are doing nothing to maximize the chance. Perhaps you anticipate one thing like folks about to you and inquiring for one thing, otherwise you don't shrewdness to follow through your sales leads, and create necessary actions to shut procurement.

WFP National Ambassador, DJ BoBo, swaps his native Switzerland for the heat of Ethiopia in a trip to check out WFP's work in the region. WFP spokesperson, Simon Pluess, was with him.
WFP National Ambassador, DJ BoBo, swaps his native Switzerland for the heat of Ethiopia in a trip to check out WFP's work in the region. WFP spokesperson, Simon Pluess, was with him.
Day 1: 5th March 2007
After a long flight, the plane lands at Addis Ababa airport. A fresh breeze is blowing, and I have to put on my pullover. We are at an altitude of 2500 metres!
Hagos, our driver, drives us to our hotel, crossing a deserted city at this late hour of the night. We have to rest now, because tomorrow will certainly be a long day for us.
Mohammed Diab, WFP Country Director in Ethiopia, welcomes us to his office where we will get a glimpse of the organisation's work.
"I congratulate you for choosing this country for your first
More than 31 million people live with less than 35 cents per day
Mohammed Diab, WFP Country Director
mission as an Ambassador against hunger for WFP. With 77 million people, and the size of both Spain and France together, Ethiopia is still one of the poorest countries on Earth," he says.
"More than 31 million people live on less than 35 cents per day. Life expectancy at birth is 45.5 years. There are few natural resources, and the scope of poverty is unthinkable.
"You are going to see extreme poverty with your own eyes, and the things that you are going to observe will help you in your work to help these people. We have managed to get many of these people out of misery, even though they still remain poor. They have refound their dignity."
Our first visit to the field starts in the western part of the city, at Addis Katama, which means "new city". Tourists are seldom seen in this district, except if they are lost.
In the courtyard of a house, about one hundred women and children are waiting for their monthly food aid distribution. People here are directly or indirectly affected by HIV/AIDS.
Either themselves or one of their close relatives is infected by the virus. I meet a boy called Shiferwaw. His parents are dead, killed by HIV/AIDS.
Back to school
He now lives at his grandmother's, who tries as hard as she can to take care of him. Apparently, he suffered from malnutrition for a long time, and although he is 15 years old, he looks like a ten-year-old child.
We talk, and he speaks a little bit of English. Thanks to WFP, he has been able to go back to school.
WFP provides food aid to more than 3000 people who are touched by HIV/AIDS in this part of the city. The agency assists a some 110,000 people in various towns in the country who have the virus.
What surprises me most in Addis Katama were the smiles and the warmth that I can see on everybody's faces. These people would have all the reasons in the world to be desperate.
Another place, another universe. The Swiss ambassador in Ethiopia, Peter Reinhardt, invites us to his beautiful residence.
The American, German and Canadian ambassadors are there as well. It gives me the occasion to share my feelings about this day in the field, and to learn from their experiences.
Day 2: 6th March 2007
DJ Bobo spends another busy day in the province of Tigray, one of the regions most hit by hunger in Ethiopia.
We have already become a good team: Paulette and Melese from WFP in Addis Ababa, Simon from WFP in Geneva, Flore and Claude from Swiss French TV, Thilo who writes for the German weekly Der Spiegal and of course Oliver, my friend and manager.
Fortunately, the plane takes off only at noon and our journey to discover hunger continues. It is not the same thing to see the images of hunger on television as to see these same images with your own eyes.
Thousands of people and vehicles fill the narrow road which leads us towards the airport.
The air is filled with sand and with the pollution of cars, which gives me a difficult time to breathe.
To give some hope is worth more than money
Yirga, former lawyer who helps HIV/AIDS sufferers
The flight to Mekele, some 800 kilometres in the northeast of Ethiopia, lasts approximately one hour.
From the plane, I perceive the desert landscape below me; it is difficult to see any vegetation, it seems to be only sand and dry earth.
Eighty-five percent of Ethiopians live on subsistence agriculture or on pastoralism.
Rains are rare and if the rainy season fails, the consequences are disastrous.
Thus, it is not surprising that 47 percent of Ethiopian children below the age of five are much smaller than European children of the same age. Malnutrition slows down their growth.
In Mekele we are received by Josephine, the head of WFP's sub-office. She informs us about the reality of the region of Tigray which had known one of the worst hunger crises over the past 20 years.
We all remember the famine of 1984, which took the lives of more than a million people. Since then, many things have changed.
WFP in association with the government and other aid partners has been able to bring significant and lasting improvements for the population of the region. I am eager to discover it.
There is no time left for a break. After a stop in two big WFP warehouses, where some 20,000 tons of food are stored for the region's population, we visit another HIV/AIDS project.
WFP works here with an Ethiopian NGO partner, and the staff are all volunteers.
I get to know Seged, 32. Two months ago, he was suffering from HIV/AIDS and was close to death. He was taken off the street and into the centre.
He is crying as I speak to him. He is still weak, but WFP food and the antiretroviral drugs will soon give him back his strength.
Seare, a little girl at the age of one, also stuck in my mind. Thanks to antiretroviral drugs and good nutrition, the virus was not passed from mother to child.
Seare was lucky. This could explain why her name means "victory".
"To give some hope is worth more than money," explains Yirga, the director of the project, who gave up his career as a lawyer in order to help HIV/AIDS victims.
"We die from the inside if we see human suffering without helping" he tells me at the end.
Day 3: 7th March 2007
Today's trip with the WFP will be particularily interesting, because we are going to see school feeding programmes, a project I'm particularily interested in.
Early in the morning, our car convoy leaves Mekele and two hours later reaches the district of Wuko.
The road crosses a mountainous area, which looks like a canyon, and the tragic beauty of the place hides the dry soil and the lack of trees and plants.
The mountains around us look like mushrooms, shaped by soil erosion.
Agricultural over-exploitation and deforestation of the past have marked this landscape, located at an altitude of 2000 metres.
The lack of water is evident everywhere. The more we move forward, the more the road becomes impassable. However this does not seem to be an obstacle for our four-wheel drive cars.
As soon as we arrive in the district of Wuko, greenery reappears. Fields are cultivated, and people are taking their produce to the weekly market. What a change! I wonder what may have happened here.
We arrive in the Aid Bere school. The mothers of schoolchildren are distributing food to the students.
WFP provides food consisting of vitamin and mineral enriched corn soya blend.
The mixture is combined with water, oil and salt and prepared on a fire in a big saucepan. We find children who would be undernourished without the food provided at school.
Healthy bodies and minds
Their parents usually prefer to send them to work rather than to school, because they depend on their help to feed the family.
Thanks to school feeding, the number of children going to this school has doubled within three years, from 655 to 1325 children.
The meals feed their bodies and their minds. It gives them the necessary strength to study.
During the break, the children leave the classroom to water the school vegetable garden. Fruit and vegetables allow them to diversify their meals.
I have the opportunity to sit down with the children in the classroom, and I listen to songs that explain mathematics. Learning by singing! This is brilliant, and I am really touched by this moment.
I don't need any pictures - I will keep the memory of this school forever in my mind.
Why then is it so green in the district of Wuko? In fact, this is because of an initiative undertaken by WFP, the Government and the village communities which began five years ago and which has changed all their lives.
In order to turn this dry and desert valley into a fertile area, terraces have been built along the bare slopes of the mountains and trees have been planted.
In return for this work, WFP provides food to the villagers. When the rain comes, water no longer runs down the slopes like a wild torrent; it is kept back by vegetation and the terraces.
Wells full
I visit cultivated fields and wells, which, despite the current dry season, are still full because of the underground water regenerating itself.
The well water is used to irrigate the fields. Five years ago, the 700 wells in the valley were dry during the same period of year.
Today, we can see fruit and vegetables growing, such as guava, orange, cabbage and tomatoes, and people come from afar to visit the project and imitate it in their own regions.
Self sufficient
I meet people who don't want to rely on food aid, and who are on the right track to becoming self sufficient.
It's encouraging, I'm delighted! In a region, which had seen some of the worst hunger crises in recent history, we can now see people joining hands to embrace the future.
This is the type of food aid that I want to fight for. This will be my duty as an Ambassador for WFP. But now, to tell you the truth, I really would like to see my wife and our two kids.
Day 4: 8th March 2007
Only one day left before my departure. I am terribly tired; the emotions of the past few days have exhausted me. Often I stayed awake at night and I tried to digest what I saw. But satisfaction is stronger than tiredness.
I was able to see with my own eyes the things that I want to fight for in the future.
Yesterday evening, staff at the WFP office in Mekele organised a goodbye party. It was incredible; a buffet with Ethiopian sour dough with a wide selection of vegetable and meat dishes and a local group that played traditional music.
The groove of the rhythm made everybody stand up and dance. The moon in the sky was huge and lit up the night and the neighbourhood was vibrating to the sound of the music.
I receive a gift from the WFP staff. It is a traditional suit, usually offered to the high dignitaries of the country. After a short farewell ceremony, we fly from Mekele back to Addis Ababa.
Ethiopian television, which filmed our whole journey, conducts one last interview with me. Who knows, maybe other regions will see the pictures on TV and feel encouraged by the progress made in Tigray and will want to set up similar projects in their region.
Tomorrow I am going back home. There won't be any time left to rest!
Let's do it!
I have met people in Ethiopia who embrace their future with optimism and a smile.
Many efforts aimed at reducing poverty and malnutrition in the country have already born fruit.
Climate change
It is very likely, that there will be other terrible droughts in Ethiopia in the future. It is so unfair that global climate change affects poor countries like Ethiopia so much more than northern countries.
It is my responsibility and that of the international community to continue our support of Ethiopia until drought no longer pushes millions of people into poverty.
"Let's do it"
With our support rivers and wells will continue to carry water, despite the drought - water to irrigate fields and grow food.
When this happens, WFP will wrap up its operation because Ethiopia will produce enough food to feed its people.
What a magnificent experience to have been able to be in the right place at the right time.
There is still a lot of work for us. All I can say is: "Let's do it!"

Now my question is this;
The Pope is supposed to be Gods Vicar on earth and an example of Christian piety and forgiveness. Gabriele has admitted his guilt and is unlikely to do it again, so shouldn't the Pope forgive him, turn the other cheek and be an example to the world of the power of his faith in cessation of resentment?
What would Jesus do?
Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Failing that, does the guy really have to go to jail? Can't he just be sent to another parish?

Right now, I'm under the impression that Zupponn's is the best system because it's simple and it works. However, Bricksyd's system is still undergoing evaluation. So far I think it will surpass Zupponn's system, because it is the most RPG like and it involves customized abilities. I also like how the character sheets are made of lego.
Colette's comes in second place, and mine is the worst (although it really isn't bad, just incomplete and in dire need of playtesting and tuning up).
