01 2013 USAG Yongsan Super Bowl XLVII Party
Did you know that the first
Super Bowl game in American
history was played on January 15,
1967? The Green Bay Packers
beat Kansas City Chiefs by 25
points in Los Angeles,
California. This year the
Super Bowl will be held
in New Orleans!
Today, New Orleans’ calendar is booked all year long with
famous festivals that celebrate music, cuisine, visual and
performing arts, literature, and more. The city’s
uncommon abundance of festivals stems directly from its
unique character.
The broad themes which unify successful and popular festivals
everywhere-music, cuisine, and the arts-have deep roots in the
local culture. New Orleans’ homegrown jazz and soul music, its
famous culinary traditions, and its longstanding appreciation
of the arts (dating back to the city’s Creole heritage) easily lend
themselves to public celebration.
During New Orleans’ festivals, the different cultural elements
always complement each other. For example, music festivals
feature artists’ booths and food stands with delicious local
dishes. No matter what the festival’s main focus, elements of
music, food, and the arts are always present.
New Orleans’ festivals would not be successful without the
city’s people who know how to relax and have a good time. For
many, the ability to “let the good times roll” seems to come
more naturally in New Orleans. While this trait might seem
frivolous on the surface, fun is an elemental human need, and
it’s what draws countless visitors to New Orleans every year.

Festival attendees in New Orleans
are not passive spectators at all. They
dance, sing along, dress in costume,
engage with both artists and other
festival-goers, and become a focus of
the celebration themselves. In addition,
the setting of New Orleans enhances
the festivals that take place here. The
lovely and diverse architecture, the
beauty of the sub-tropical plant life, and
the balmy weather serve to foster the
special, easy-going atmosphere that
allows festival-goers to enjoy
themselves. Furthermore, the city
features many unique venues that give
each festival its own unique character.
Whether an event takes place in the
French Quarter, Uptown, in Mid-City, or
in any other neighborhood, the
ambiance of any local festival is always
completely New Orleans.
Festivals are not only fun, but a
significant part of the city’s economic
development.
The 47th Annual Super Bowl between
the top two teams in the National
Football League is coming back to the
Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the first
time since 2002. This year’s Super Bowl
is to take place on Sunday, 3 February.
Kick off will be at 1830 ET. To ensure
that all get to see the live game, R &
R Bar and Grill and K-16 Landing Zone
Club have planned a Super Bowl Party
on Monday, 4 February at 0600. The
parties will start at 0600 and since the
parties are early, there will be free
breakfast until supplies last. There
will also be contests that patrons can
participate in such as the Trivia Game
Contest and Best Touchdown Dance
Contest. Patrons will have a chance to
win various door prizes to include the
grand prize which is a round trip airline
ticket to anywhere in the U.S.A! For
more information, please call DSN 723-
5721, DSN 741-6030 or go to the USAG
Yongsan, FMWR Facebook page. We
hope to see you there!
Behind the scenes of the large-scale
events that attract hundreds of
thousands of festival-goers down to the
smaller, neighborhood-focused affairs,
every festival employs tireless
organizers, promoters, investors and
donors, service personnel, volunteers
and many others. New Orleans festivals
are abundant and successful because
the city is full of experienced
professionals who create them, run
them, and nurture their growth. The
city’s largest festivals such as the New
Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and
Mardi Gras are used as examples of
success all over America. The ease with
which New Orleans handles crowd
control is also studied the world over. A
festival event in the city is not produced
just to celebrate and experience joy, it is
serious business.
The biggest, grandest, most-watched
single event in American sports is
coming to New Orleans.

07 Mt. Taebaek Snow Festival
The year 2013 marks Mount Taebaek’s 20th Annual Snow
Festival! With winter still among us, you can use this time
to enjoy Korea’s natural beauty and relieve unnecessary stress. From
snow sledding to viewing the magnificent snow sculpture exhibition,
there’s something to do for everyone of all ages.
The city of Taebaek is located in the far south east of Gangwon-do, nestled
in the Taebaek Mountain range. Taebaek is a fairly large town but there
are a lot of shops, restaurants, bars, markets and outdoor activities. The town was
actually once a successful coal mining town but the mines are no longer in operation
although those that visit can still see some evidence of the mines. Taebaek is a busy
and popular destination, especially during the January-February timeframe. As
mentioned above, the city of Taebaek is nestled in the Taebaek Mountain Range.
Mount (Mt.) Taebaek is approximately 500 kilometers along Korea’s
east coast. Rising 1,567 meters above sea level, Taebaek-san
(which means “great white mountain”) is famous for the heavy
snowfall during the winter.
Mt. Taebaek Snow Festival 08
The actual Mt.Taebaek Snow Festival will take place from
25 January~3 February. The landmarks in Mt.
Taebaek include the Springhead of the Nakdong River Hwangji
Pond, the Fantastic Underworld Yongyeon Cave, the Springhead of
Han River Geom-nyong-so, Taebaek’s History Coal Museum and
the Paleozoic Era Museum of Natural History. Other landmarks that
Mt. Taebaek is known for is their Ski Resort, their Snow Sledding
Slope and the Youth Center Ice Sledding area. In another section of
the festival, patrons can pay an extra fee for snow racing,
snowmobile towed rafting, ATVs and they can enjoy an ice motor
show.
A major attraction is the world of beautiful snow sculptures
created by top sculptors around the world as well as from
Korea. The size of the sculptures can range from something that
can fit in the palm of your hand to something in the size a SUV.
In addition to the snow sculptures, the festival will feature magic
shows, music concerts, and hands-on activities such as making
your own snow bricks, a snowman, mini lanterns, napkin art,
creating your own perfume and even snow candles! For lunch,
patrons can walk over to the local food court and try Taebaek’s local
winter delicacies, grab a hot beverage from the Igloo café and after-
wards, visit the Retinispora Foot Bath area for a relaxing
afternoon. When the sun sets, patrons can enjoy the Starlight
Festival beautiful ornaments and designs to light up the streets and
the festival will end with a LED dance performance by
professionals.
The Moyer Outdoor Recreation Center (ORC) has planned
a trip to the Taebaek Snow Festival on Sunday, 3

11 Lunar New Year
Although many of us plan on being
here for only a short time, take a
minute and learn about the
interesting culture of your host country. Seol-
nal (설날) for example is the Lunar New Year
holiday observed by Koreans to pay respect
to ancestors, catch up with other family
members and to celebrate the New Year.
Each customary ritual practiced in Korea
is said to signify a positive impact on the
participant’s future in the year to come.
The New Year is marked on the lunar
calendar as the 10th of February. Koreans
observe the day before, the day of and the
day after the Lunar New Year. If there were
an American holiday to compare with
Seol-nal, it would be a mixture of New Years
and Thanksgiving.
During Seol-nal, you may see people
dressed in hanboks (traditional
Korean clothes). Hanboks can be
worn by anyone with any body shape
because of the design of the clothing. It is not
known to how far the hanbok dates back or
when the first hanbok was first worn but we
do know that the style of clothing was found
in the Ancient Goguryeo Era. Changes have
been made to the original style but the
general idea or creation of the traditional
clothing still remains in the culture of the
Korean people.
Like any tradition with any culture, food
during Seol-nal plays a role in the
customary ritual. Families usually
spend the entire day before Seol-nal
preparing food to be used as offerings to
ancestors as well as to be served to the
family members. On the actual day of Seol-
nal, it is traditional to eat the dish 떡만두국
(Duk-Mandu-Guk) or 떡국 (Duk-Guk).
Duk-Mandu-Guk which is composed of water,
rice cake slices, vegetables, meat, eggs,
soy sauce, salt, pepper, seaweed (optional)
and dumplings and Duk-Guk is composed of
everything except the dumplings.
Lunar New Year Seol-nal
Lunar New Year 12
You may also come across the same dish cooked
in beef broth which adds a bit more flavor to the
dish but typically, Koreans will cook the dish with
water. Eating the dish signifies adding a year to
your real age. For example, if a child that was
three ate this dish on Lunar New Year’s, he or she
would tell others that his or her age is four.
Although many children may like the idea, adults
try to refrain from adding more numbers to their
actual age, regardless in Korea, everyone still
enjoys a bowl of Duk-Mandu-Guk or Duk-Guk.
Another aspect that plays a huge role in
Seol-nal is paying respects to ancestors
and to the current relatives of the family.
The morning of Seol-nal usually begins with an
ancestral ceremony. The ceremony will consist of
having the family gather in front of the ritual table
and set it with traditional Seol-nal food such as
fruit, fish, gal-bi, and a ton of other side dishes.
Once the food is set, the ceremony begins with
deep bows as greetings to the ancestor spirits
with proceeds of prayers. After the ceremony, the
family will gather and enjoy the meal that they
prepared, with Duk-Mandu-Guk or Duk-Guk as
the main dish. After everyone has enjoyed the
feast, the younger generation of the family will pay
respect to their elders by taking a deep bow and
in return, the elders will offer blessings and wishes
for a prosperous year and best of all, Se-baet-
don (money). For the remainder of the day, family
members play traditional games, eat more, and
reminisce on family history.

The great part is no previous experience is necessary to join your local US Army Rugby Korea team. Presently there are enough experienced team members who are experienced to train non-experienced players. “Biggest focus for new players is to omit all knowledge of football prior to playing rugby and to be relatively in good shape due to the demands of the game”, explains Captain Palacios. The cost to join is free but members need to go to USARugby.org and register for a CIP number which costs thirty five dollars and also need to pay ninety eight thousand WON for a kit, team jersey, shorts and socks. If you’re interested in joining your local rugby team join by; sending a message to US Army Rugby Korea’s Facebook, email army.rugby.korea@gmail.com, or contact Captain Palacios at 010-2731-8441 or email him on his Global email account. Another way to join is show up at practice. USAG Yongsan’s Rugby practice is held on every Tuesday from 2000-2130 at Field #12 next Collier Community Fitness Center Parking Lot and every Saturday from 1000-1200 at Seoul American High School Field. Community members are welcome to participate by attending games and cheering from the sidelines. The next rugby opportunity will be held either the twelfth of nineteenth of November featuring an EXPACT team and Military rugby team at the Seoul American High School Field. Dates can be verified at the above contact information tools. Thank you to Captain Palacios for making a positive impact to our community and I hope to see all US Military Instillations have a rugby team in the near future.

EAT BREAKFAST EVERYDAY Oatmeal, a piece of fruit, boiled eggs, all of this can be prepared quick and easy in the morning or even the night before. Studies show people who eat breakfast everyday are SIGNIFICANTLY LEANER.
Meal Plan Provided by Chris Canales, Strength and Conditioning Specialist
EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS I know this can be tough with a busy schedule but you can always pack a bag of mixed nuts, seeds, chopped up veggies (chopped the night before so they are ready to go), fruit, small Tupperware of leftovers from previous night, or a protein shake if you are really in a bind.
INCLUDE PROTEIN WITH EVERY FEEDING This is tough to do but you have to find a way to get your overall protein percentage/quality up. Find things that you like to eat: 93% ground beef, top round, top sirloin, chicken breast, ground turkey, ham, pork, salmon, tuna, trout, cod, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, skim milk, and string cheese.
NO HIGH CALORIE BEVERAGES water, green tea, black coffee ONLY!
EAT SOME FRUITS/VEGETABLES That piece of lettuce on that Charlie’s chicken sand-wich does not count! Try to eat vegetables as much as possible. Buy them every week, cut them up and have them in Tupperware ready to go. Vegetable options: green pepper, red pepper, onion,
mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, zucchini, beets, radish, celery, pumpkin, olives, carrots, green beans, asparagus ETC! Fruit options: pear, peaches, banana, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, honey dew, cantaloupe, plums, grapes, raisins, kiwi, whole grain breads, sweet potatoes, yams, brown rice. You get the point; this is where you should be getting the majority of your carbohydrates from. Some carbs you want to stay away from: white bread, bagels, high sugar foods, baked goods, pizza, fruit juice, soda, cereal bars, canned fruit, anything made with high-fructose corn syrup. majority of your which a carbohydrates come from. Some carbs you want to stay away from: white bread, bagels, high sugar foods, baked goods, pizza, fruit juice, soda, cereal bars, canned fruit, anything made with high-fructose corn syrup.
DON’T BE SCARED OF FATS I’m not going to dive into good/ bad fats I will just give you some general guidelines on what fats to eat. Animal fats,
CHEAT MEALS You should allow yourself to “cheat” 10% of the time. This will help keep you sane and keep you dedicated to your new eating lifestyle. So to put this into context: 7 days in a week, 5 feedings each day = 35 feeding opportunities. Out of those 35 feeding opportunities you should allow yourself to cheat on 3-4 occasions.

Advanced Degree Admission Prep from Peterson’s
Peterson’s offers test prep for graduate school entrance exams - GRE, GMAT, and LSAT - to help you meet your educational goals beyond a four-year degree.
Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans.

National African American History Month (1-28 February 2013)
Presidents, Day (18 February 2013)Presidents’ Day, celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, is a day when Americans honor the legacies of the U.S. Presidents. The holiday was established in 1800, when Congress declared February 22–George Washington’s birthday–a federal holiday. Still legally known as Washington’s Birthday, Presidents’ Day has become a day to honor not only Washington, but Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. President who was born on February 12, and the lives and accomplishments of all U.S. Presidents.

1. Save for Emergencies Having an emergency savings fund may be the most important difference between those who manage to stay afloat and those who are sinking financially. In a recent survey, only 49% of families said they had extra funds (not including lines of credit) available to pay for an unexpected expense of $1,000. Don’t find yourself unprepared in 2013. How to do it: Save a Portion of Your Tax Refund.
As the Military Saves Week quickly approaches, make sure to give your finances a checkup and discover if you need to make sav-ing a priority. You may discover that you have debt you need to pay down or that you are ready to take the next step in savings. Helping yourself and your family save successfully for the future should be near the top of your list – and its one issue you can’t afford to subdue! Remember, you don’t have to make a lot of money to save successfully. Start Small. Think Big.
2. Get Out of Debt The best investment most borrowers can make is to pay off consumer debt with double-digit interest rates. How to do it: Find places to cut your spending so that you can pay down your debts faster.
3. Save for Retirement – Participate in the Thrift Savings Plan The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment plan for Federal employees and members of the uniformed services, including the Ready Reserve. It offers the same types of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their
4. Make Savings Automatic- set-up a discretion-ary allotment using myPay These savings will provide funds for emergencies, future con-sumer purchases, home purchase, school tuition, or even retire-ment (also see Tip #3). How to do it: You can use an allotment to automatically transfer funds from your pay into a savings account. Saving automatically is the easiest and most successful way to save.
5. Deploying? Take advantage of the Savings Deposit Program A total of $10,000 may be deposited during each deployment and will earn 10% interest annually. How to do it: Visit the finance office at your deployed location (or home base for information) to begin saving. Savings Strategy: Save a Portion of Your Tax Refund Tax Time is a great time to kick start or grow your savings for the future! Use the 30 – 40 – 30 plan. Designate 30% of your refund to pay off debt and catch up on outstanding bills. Earmark 40% for current use. Use 30% to jump start an emergency fund or long term savings. You can use Form 8888 to buy a U.S. Savings Bonds. Bonds are a safe and easy way to save for the future. Are you ready to set your goal? Military Saves, operated by the non-profit Consumer Federa-tion of America, and a partner in the Defense Department’s Financial Readiness Campaign, encourages service members and their families to save money, pay down debt, and build personal wealth. Military Saves promotes.

employees under 401(k) plans. Plus the TSP now has a ROTH option. How to do it: Start with as little as 1% of your pay. Don’t forget to have your spouse or family member save for their retire-ment as well.
