PHOTOMATH by Chris Shepperd
APP REVIEW
WEEKLY
MEDIA SHAKEDOWN
FREE
Ok, so your professor may not approve of this week’s app, but you should check out Photomath anyway. The name pretty much says it all. You use your camera to scan a math problem, and the app tells you the answer. College Algebra never sounded so easy. Not only does Photomath do the work for you, it shows you step-by-step instructions on how to solve the problem. So hey, maybe you can actually learn something from using this app. It will graph out simple equations, it can tell you the y-intercept, do you feel smarter yet? If all of that wasn’t enough, you can use the app to type in math problems. So, if you are worried about your T.A. telling you to put your phone down, just tell them you are using a calculator, type in the equation and let the app do the work. Let’s be clear, Maroon Weekly thinks you should actually learn the content your professors are teaching you, but Algebra is just dumb. Nobody needs to know that stuff.
Ingrid Goes west by Shelbi Polk
MOVIE REVIEW
We’re going to start with a disclaimer here. “Ingrid Goes West” is not a movie for the whole family. That said, this movie isn’t rated R for excessive nudity, drugs or violence. There is a bit of each of those things, but the movie is more of a psychological thriller than anything else. “Ingrid Goes West” stars Aubrey Plaza as Ingrid Thorburn, who is euphemistically a very troubled young woman. Thorburn is obsessed with social media, and specifically with Instagram, because it provides a world that is dramatically different from her reality. She is isolated, and she leaves her trash all over her house. But she loves the seemingly easy perfection of the photos and the validation of the likes on Instagram. Following a very poor series of life choices and the loss of her mother, Ingrid decides to move to Los Angeles in order to become friends with her idol, an Insta-celebrity named Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen). She methodically works to turn
herself into the kind of person Taylor would befriend, studying the kinds of things Taylor likes and posts on social media. This strategy works, until it doesn’t, and we get to watch everyone dissolve on screen. Dan Pinto, played by O’Shea Jackson Jr., is Ingrid’s landlord and by far the most likeable and genuine character in the film. He refuses to compromise on who he is, even after Ingrid begs him to do so, but he also often ends up as collateral damage in the girls’ pursuit of the perfectly photographed life. “Ingrid Goes West” explores the way we present ourselves, and the people we want to be. Writer and director Matt Spicer dives into the gap between the messes of Ingrid and Taylor’s day to day lives and who they get to be online. He asks us to consider who we pretend to be, how readily we buy into each others lies, and how are we rewarded for these things, with an unsettlingly dark humor.
ALBUM REVIEW
by Jaclyn Ysaquirre
Fifth Harmony, one of the “It” pop girl groups of our time, introduced their new album, “Fifth Harmony,” on August 25. This album represents a new chapter for the girl group, following the departure of one of their singers, Camila Cabello. The band consisted of five girls at one point in time. Singers Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregi collaborated to create harmonized songs of female empowerment.
ARTIST: Fifth Harmony ALBUM: Fifth Harmony RELEASED: August 25, 2017
In the spring of 2013, the girls won “The X Factor,” a television show and singing competition, and signed a joint deal with Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco Music, and Epic Records. Fifth Harmony’s collection of love and lust songs in this album are a bold continuation of the group’s tradition of energetic, playful and passionate vocals. The most popular rated songs on Apple Music are “Down” and “Angel,” which are smooth and powerful rhythm and blues tracks.

Say hello to the donut darlin’
by Hannah Pena
When you think about donuts, there are certain words that follow: glaze, sprinkles, mini… And then there are some words that just don’t seem to have any correlation: bland, dry, trailers. You read that right. Trailers. It’s not so common for “donut” to be followed by “trailer.” But every once in a while, the two go together like glaze donuts goes with “I’d like a dozen, please.” Which leads us to Donut Darlin’, a mini donut trailer in the College Station area, which was created by Texas A&M junior Taylor Laney. What originally began as an empty trailer, and a few wrong turns toward some crepes, has turned into “the best thing ever” for Laney. Donut Darlin’ is a 50’s vibe on wheels, dishing out your newest obsession. Laney’s mini donuts leave you wanting flavors you never knew you’d want in donut form. Sweet creations like the “Classic Donut” (cinnamon sugar) and “Eskimo Bites” (powdered sugar donuts) will leave you believing Laney has outdone herself. But then, when fall flavors like pumpkin spice come out to play, she’ll surprise you with twists and delectable turns. Not only does Donut Darlin’ do seasonal, sweet, and sugary, she’s also doing savory and exquisite. Her kolaches are just as big of a draw as her donuts. We’re all familiar with that saying “two is better than one,” and, with Donut Darlin’s breakfast donuts, it has never been more true. This mini donut trailer changes venues monthly, but if you want to catch Laney and her mini miracles, follow her facebook page “Donut Darlin’.” Her services include walk-ins, take out, and, if ever the mood strike for a mini donut party, Donut Darlin’ offers catering to handle the most extreme of mini donut parties. This mini donut trailer accepts most forms of payment, and the price range will satisfy even the most frugal of persons. Trailers and donuts might not sound synonymous, but Donut Darlin’ is just right on the edge of changing that.

RONIN harvest moon dinner RONIN COOKING FARM SEPTEMBER 8&9 STARTS AT 6:30PM by Azalea Andrade
Full moons set the mood for a great night to appreciate the outdoors. Ronin Cooking Farm gives you the opportunity to indulge in the beauty of a full moon, while enjoying a tasteful dinner.
Although this dinner is hosted each month, the menu is dynamic, and changes according to what products are ripe during that specific time. The Lights make sure that the guests are getting the best picks possible.
The business is owned and operated by an amazing Aggie couple, Brian and Amanda Light, who love to show the community a bit of culture while keeping stomachs full. Their venue really gives you the Texas feeling.
Guests are able to take a tour through the farm that allows them to see where the great food they are about to eat is grown. After enjoying a tasteful dinner, guests take a candlelit walk through the beautiful garden, where they arrive to a scenic view of the full moon and dessert.
Brian Light is a professional chef, who has experience in different cuisines such as Japanese and French. He has integrated his skills to make some of the best meals in central Texas, with produce from his own farm. Light and his wife love to share their cooking with those around them, especially through events like the Full Moon Dinner. Every month, Roning Cooking Farm hosts a nine course full moon dinner that takes place in the forest just outside their barn. This month, the dinner will take place on two nights, Friday and Saturday, September 8 and 9 from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Ronin Cooking Farm’s philosophy is simple: make sure the community gets in touch with the traditional way of food gathering and does not forget where it all comes from. All reservations are done online through the Ronin Farm website, so go save your spot before the dinner fills up! Don’t forget to sign up for their newsletter, to get updates on other great events the farm hosts, products they are selling, and even produce.

Music is a way of life. It is an art. Music connects our souls in a way that nothing else ever could, and it also makes for a great reason to get out of the house on a weeknight. If you’re just looking for something to do on a Thursday night, the Grand Stafford Theater is hosting musicians, Ryan Tharp and Jacob Furr, on September 13th. For those of you who are unaware of the two, give them a listen, and you’ll be booking it to the Grand Stafford in no time. Ryan Tharp, no stranger to the stage, has been performing for a decade, which has led him to standing along sides of Ian Moore, Pete Yorn, and Bob Schneider. Now on his own two feet, Tharp released his record, “Life So Far,” back in January. The singer has a throaty, powerful voice, which, combined with his guitar-rock style, has captivated his audiences. His sound will leave you going out of your way to listen to him. Joining Tharp at the Grand Stafford is Jacob Furr. Furr is a man of many talents. He is a songwriter and multi instrumentalist musician, and he has opened for big time acts like folk pop artist David Ramirez, folk duo Shovels and Rope and others. Furr is considered an alt-country folk artist, and his songs tell a story of great prophecies and fate. The two gentlemen performing have a gift with their music. They each have such a passion for what they do that it’s impossible not to close your eyes and be moved by the wave of talent and guitar riffs. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the show starts at 8:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $7 or online for $5.

Perrine winery’s peacock festival
Did you hear the story about the peacock? It’s a beautiful tail! Well, at least it is for the winemaker couple in town who own and operate Perrine Winery. Beth Perrine Leopold and Rick Leopold are farmers at heart and have worked in the agricultural industry all of their lives. Their passion for wine has driven their vision to own and operate a winery and vineyard. Thus, they were introduced to the micro-winery business. This sector of the winery business allows the couple to work with micro-breweries around the world. These other facilities provide the Perrine Winery with a variety of grape juice and grapes, from which the Leopolds create their signature wines. The couple will be hosting two events at the Perrine Winery on Sunday, September 10, 2017. At 9 a.m., they will start off with The Three Drinks 5K, at the end of which the runners each receive a glass of beer, wine, and a shot of whiskey or bourbon! Following the race, The Peacock Festival begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. Activities include a Dress-Your-Pet-Like-A-Peacock contest, a Peacock Call contest, shopping, food trucks and music.
PEACOCK FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 10 BEGINS AT 10AM by Jaclyn Ysaquirre
Also, Perrine Winery will be collaborating with Urban Interface to host their own contest. Urban Interface is a conservation based nonprofit organization in the Brazos Valley. Their goal is to educate people on the importance of balancing the human-wildlife interaction within our community. We got the chance to speak with Beth Perine Leopold to get a better background of the event and the interesting and memorable event title. MW: Why is the event called the “Peacock Festival?” What brought on the topic?
BPL: There is a peacock on my family (Perrine) crest. No one else seems to have a peacock festival in the area, so I thought we’d go with that. It actually just came to me one day. MW: Who are some of local craft vendors that will be present? BPL: The vendors are Pickle Your Fancy (pickles); Sentsational! (soaps and air fresheners); Amici Imports (olive oil); Starlight Creek Designs (handcrafted woodwork, antler products, and jewelry), Brazos Glassworks (jewelry and sun catchers); Steelwool (metal jewelry and blacksmithed items); Kate’s Wine Jewelry (custom wine necklaces and wine glass rings); Toadily Handmade (small fabric items); Reclaim It! (crafts and furniture); Rockin Z Quilts (quilted items); Natalie Joseph (human and animal massage); a couple who makes concrete furniture,; one who does small metal and copper items; Urban Interface, they do raptor rescue and other animals and promote educational activities with the animals as ambassadors - they will be having a contest for artwork on a new wine label that will be a profit share wine for them; and the Bryan Animal Center, who will have dog adoptions available that day. MW: Why is the focus on animals? BPL: For the 5K that is right before the Peacock Festival (3 Drinks) by Race Texas, we needed a charity for some of the proceeds to go towards. The Aggieland Humane Society gets a lot of press and donations, while the great work that the Bryan Animal Center does goes unnoticed and is short funded. So, I thought they would be a great group to have the race proceeds to go to. For the 2 contests (Dress Your Pet Like a Peacock and the Peacock Call), the “entry fee” is $5, all of which goes to the Bryan Animal Center. With a purpose to serve the community through some great tasting wine, Perrine Winery also focuses on bringing neighbors together to serve a greater local cause with this “out of the ordinary” event.

FARMER’S MARKET Downtown bryan
As we all know in Aggieland, our fall Saturdays belong to Aggie football. But what about those weeks where the Aggies are on the road, or when their season is officially over? What happens to those Saturday mornings and afternoons that aren’t filled up with catching up on sleep, homework, or other personal agendas? Should ever you find yourself with a free Saturday morning, and you’re someone who loves surrounding themselves with food and art, then the Brazos Valley Farmer’s Market just might be for you. Located at 500 North Main St. in Downtown Bryan, the market is a year-round event with one seasonal market, that is in operation Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Brazos Valley Farmer’s Market has three objectives, the same that have been in place since 1997, and they are: to create a venue where local farmers can immerse and connect themselves with Brazos Valley consumers, to build a community, and to provide education on regional farming, gardening, and food preparation. The market receives no funding from the city or state, but is instead run by vendor fees and generous hours of volunteer time. These vendor
fees are collected from the dozens of vendors that are in attendance, selling everything from Texas Longhorn Grass-Fed Beef to wheel-thrown stoneware pottery. The market is a friendly and vibrant attraction that has everything you could want, like fresh fruit, salsas, and beaded jewelry, to things you never knew you wanted, such as crafts, room fragrances, and even a birdhouse, if that kind of thing catches your eye. The vendors at the market are genuine, and, just when you think you have found your favorite vendor, the next one makes you fall just the same. The food is homegrown, the fruits are the kind of sweet you can’t find in the grocery stores, and the jewelry is unique and beautiful. One minute into the Farmer’s Market, you’ll find yourself with five things in your hand, ready to buy. The vendors and volunteers are the foundation for the market, and they have gone above and beyond to run this market smoothly. They succeed in creating a cultivating atmosphere, that leaves you yearning to return the next week, ready to get that one thing you swore you’d get next time.

Many Aggies are proud of Texas A&M’s significant contributions to the United States Armed Forces, but we can sometimes lose sight of the individuals behind them. J. Wayne Stark Gallery’s newest exhibit, “From Texas to Bastogne: Texas Aggies Go To War,” in the Texas A&M Memorial Student Center, personalizes these contributions by focusing on the stories of five Aggies who served their country during World War II. Today through December 16, 2017, From Bastogne to Texas, a non-profit organization, plans to use this exhibit to advocate for Texas A&M’s core values of leadership, excellence and selfless service. The goal of this exhibit is to educate guests on the life stories of real people whose actions have embodied the Aggie core values.
The Bastogne War Museum, in Bastogne, Belgium, opened the exhibit “Texas Aggies Go To War,” in 2014, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. The Belgian exhibit tells the story of the same five former Texas A&M University students, and their part in this crucial battle, to a European audience. A preview of the exhibit came to BCS in 2016, and HRH Princess Astrid of Belgium personally honored one of the Aggies highlighted in the exhibit. “Texas Aggies Go To War,” the full exhibit now on display, describes the core values that the five former students, James Hollingsworth ‘40, Turney Leonard ‘42, Willie Peña ‘42, Joe Routt ’37 and Earl Rudder ’32, resembled as Aggies and US Citizens who served in the war.
16 MAROON WEEKLY // Sept. 6, 2017 // MAROONWEEKLY.COM
ART Bastogne was a small town that played a significant role in the infamous Battle of the Bulge. In the winter of 1944, Germany mobilized a blitzkrieg attack meant to split the Allied armies in the northwestern region of Europe. It was a successful trap that caught the Allied armies off-guard, and American units fought in numerous treacherous battles at St.-Vinth, Elsenborn Ridge, Houffalize and Bastogne. Through the rolling valleys of Ardennes, the Germans attempted to secure a strong position inside of military territory. However, the Allied forces took on the appearance of a large “bulge” in soldiers, giving the battle its name. Texas A&M sent more soldiers and officers to fight in the Battle of the Bulge than any other school in the country. The exhibit honors the service of over 76,000 US soldiers killed, wounded or missing in action in World War II, many of whom were former Aggie students. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The exhibit will be open until the end of December 16, 2017. J. Wayne Stark Galleries is located on the first floor of the Memorial Student Center, and admission to the galleries is always free. Parking is available right across the street from the MSC in the University Center Garage.

ROOFTOP YOGA w/ YOGA POD
YOGA POD SEPTEMBER 12 7:30PM by Hannah Pena
There’s one word that can inspire either fear or excitement, and possibly some confusion, depending on who you’re talking to. That word would be yoga. I’ll bet that “yoga” was the last thing you expected. I mean, aren’t sun-salutations and tree poses for women and granola crunchers? Surely it isn’t for the rugged men out there. Well, what if I told you that some top athletes like LeBron James, forward for the Miami Heat, or professional football teams, such as the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, frequently incorporate yoga into their training regimes? Yoga isn’t looking too granola anymore. That being said, if you’re still up in the air about yoga and not really looking forward to the closed space and an intimidating mirror that reflects back your newly acquired yoga skills, there is another option to consider. How about rooftop yoga? Yes, there is yoga, and then there is rooftop yoga. You may ask yourself what the difference is, or perhaps you think just because it’s on the rooftop, your chances of wobbling while in one of those tricky

Buffalo With KELLY
chicken bites

I love Buffalo chicken. Always have, always will. I mean, what’s not to love about fried chicken smothered in a tangy, perfectly spicy, buttery sauce? Obviously, based on the food description I just fed you alone, we can gather it’s not really one of those super healthy food options one should consume on a regular basis, however, everything in moderation, right? Unfortunately for me, moderation turned into deprivation when it came to those beloved Buffalo chicken bites.
eight cuts across so that the butter is cut into tiny cubes. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use.
Before children (when eating out was still an enjoyable affair), Buffalo bites were one of my absolute favorite menu items. A restaurant treat, if you will. However, spicy sauces, messy hands and toddlers don’t really mix all that well, and sadly, one of my favorite restaurant treats fell by the wayside...until now. On a mission to create a restaurant-style buffalo sauce at home, I came up with a simple recipe that requires only a small amount of technique and very little time.
Begin adding in the butter 2-3 cubes at a time, whisking constantly. Once the butter has melted into the sauce, add another 2-3 cubes, and repeat until all of the butter has been incorporated. Do not rush this process.
You can go about this recipe two ways: (1) 100% homemade, in which you would make the sauce and the chicken nuggets yourself. Neither task is necessarily difficult, however, I know there are some novice at-home chefs out there that might be shuddering at the thought of frying chicken. Which leads me to our second option, (2) store-bought nuggets and a homemade Buffalo sauce. The store-bought nugget option simplifies the recipe significantly, and if you are short on time, or whipping up a batch for entertaining purposes, this route will seriously cut back on your to-do list. This recipe is the perfect cure to any hankering for Buffalo chicken, and recipes just don’t get any better when it comes to game day entertaining. Please, enjoy. For the Homemade Buffalo Sauce: 1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold, unsalted butter 8 ounces Frank’s Hot Sauce 3/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (See below for both store-bought chicken nugget version and homemade chicken nugget version) Method: For the buffalo sauce, quarter the cold stick of butter lengthwise. Make
Add Frank’s hot sauce, onion powder, Kosher salt, and garlic powder to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir and allow to come to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
Once all of the butter has been added, remove the sauce from the heat and set aside until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/2 cup of sauce. Store-Bought Nugget Variation: 16 ounces (about 20) frozen chicken nuggets Cook the chicken nuggets according to package directions, dip in prepared buffalo sauce and serve right away. Serves 4-6.
