Homemade Hand Scrub
By Katie Goodman
As an avid cook and a mother of two young children, I find myself constantly washing my hands. As a result, I suffer from very dry skin. Living in a dry climate doesn't exactly help with that either. I've tried all kinds of lotions, but when it comes down to it, I realized that the lotions don't have a lot of time to do much good when I'll be washing my hands again in five minutes. What I needed was something that moisturized as I washed my skin, rather than removing the much-needed natural oils.
Olive oil moisturizes the skin, lemon freshens and is especially good for removing onion and garlic odors from the skin, and the sugar/salt combo exfoliates dry skin and renews the appearance of your hands. Salt can be drying, so you wouldn't want to make the scrub entirely of salt, but I added a bit for some coarser pieces. If you'd rather, simply replace the amount designated for the salt with additional sugar.
First, you will need to gather your ingredients. This project is simple enough that many will have all the ingredients in their kitchens already.
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Lemon zest or other citrus zest
Lemon extract (optional)
One recipe makes 2 cups, enough for a 1-pint jar, or 2 half-pint jars.
Microplane zester
Medium-sized bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Mixing spoon
Container or jar for the finished product
Ribbon for decor
This project is great for reusing old jars that have been cleaned out (such as jam or sauce jars) or canning jars that you might have around.
Step 1: Combine 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup kosher salt, and 1 cup of olive oil in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the oil is evenly distributed throughout the sugar and salt mixture.
Step 2: Using a microplane zester, grate the zest of 1 large lemon. Add zest to the bowl and stir to combine. If you would like a stronger scent, add 1/4 tsp lemon extract.
Step 3: Spoon the scrub mixture into a clean jar. Make sure to wipe up any spills on the outside of the jar. Tighten the lid on and decorate according to your tastes.
Not only is this a great gift for Mother's Day, but I am also using these as gifts for friends. Use ribbon tape to cover the edge of the jar's lid, and tie a simple bow around the top of the jar.
And there you have it: a simple recipe to keep those kitchen hands moisturized, or a pretty, inexpensive gift that many would enjoy.

I wanted to let you guys know about our game store again. We posted about it before but I really want see you guys get good deals as well help OCC in general.
Neo Era owns Neoseeker, OCC and Talk Android. Neoseeker was able to get on board with Gametap where you can buy games through Neo. ( Trust me this was a once in a lifetime thing very rare to get this sort of a partnership anymore. )
You can check it out here:
A good amount of the games you download require that you have a steam account. For example you can look here at Mafia II http://neoseeker.gam...II-1688-13.html you can see a Steam Account is required. Also if you notice the price is $9.88 Steam right now is $29.99 so right now the Neo Store is the better deal go figure
What I am asking is before you buy a game on steam is to check the Neo store to see if the pricing is the same or less. If its the same and you are buying it anyway by through us, it helps generate some profit for us which I can turn around and put back into OCC. Some examples of things we could do is us buying a multiple game keys to giveaway, Game Server etc etc.
You don't have to do this, I am just asking if you would help give OCC some extra support, the more support we give the game store, the better deals we get and it gives us another option from steam directly. There is a link on the home page on the left hand side for the site as well.
Any questions let me know.
Thanks Guys

Apple's biggest smartphone rival, Samsung, has overtaken the Cupertino-based company when it comes to brand simplicity, a key indicator in determining a firm's popularity with customers and employees, according to a survey by Siegel & Gale.
The Global Brand Simplicity Index evaluates customers' experiences with various global brands, and argues that a "simple" brand is vital for a company's customers as well as its employees, creating a higher level of loyalty and willingness to pay from the former, and increased innovation from the latter.
The survey by Siegel & Gale interviewed 10,000 people in seven countries.

When it comes to global ranking, Samsung is now ranked eighth, with Siegel & Gale commenting, "Its flagship product, the Android-operated Galaxy, has been stealing iPhone market share with its easy-to-use functionality and elegant design."
The Samsung/Apple rivalry continues to heat up. Samsung recently launched a new curved smart phone in Korea, a first step for the company's flexible screen technology that will grace smartwatches and fitness trackers.
Apple meanwhile showed off its new iPad Air and iPad Mini on Tuesday. The new iPad Air weighs only one pound and is 20 percent thinner than its predecessor.

Just think of this as an episode of Iron Chef…the chairman says "The secret ingredient is… LOBSTER. A la cuisine!" I rush out to the aquarium frantically, catch my prey, and off I run to the "Kitchen Stadium" and start cooking.
I whip up dishes upon dishes of drool worthy lobster dishes to the judges and then the chairman announces "The winner of battle lobster is Rasa Malaysia!" Audience cheer and applause!
Well, that was just me day dreaming…
What really happened was I got myself a gigantic 5-lb lobster over this past Labor Day weekend and created 3 dishes.
All I can say is that I was totally lobster'ed out with the 5-pounder (so much so that I think I am going to stay off lobsters for a while!).
Anyway, today I am going to share the first recipe–baked lobster with cheese. In my opinion, you can do no wrong with lobster and cheese in the oven. The dish was simply scrumptious and delectable.
Please also check out my other lobster recipes here and here.
Trust me, they are very worth checking out!

While rereading Hatcher's, "Book of the Garand," an entry was somewhat disconcerting. On Page 244, Paragraph 6 you'll find:
"Eighteen telescope-sighted Garands came ashore with the 5th Marine Regiment when it landed at Guadalcanal on August 7, 1942. These were at a premium, as they were most useful for the snipers. Jap swimming holes and river crossings were ideal spots to watch, from any point not over 600 to 700 yards away. The Japs could not believe that a kill at 700 yards was anything but accidental, so that the same spot could profitably be watched three or more times a week. One can and may become accustomed to close misses, but I have yet to find a soldier or anyone else who can get used to hits."
This statement was given to Maj. Gen. J. Hatcher by Col. Whaling, USMC.
I don't find any documents to support that scope sighted Garands were available in 1942; yet alone eighteen of them. Was Hatcher, or in this case, Col. Whaling wrong?

My records indicate that the first record of a Sniper M-1Garand, was called the M1E7. It had a Griffin & Howe scope mount and an M73, Lyman Alaskan, or M73B1 (weaver 330)scope. A removable leather cheek piece was fitted to the stock. It was stanardized in June of 1944. A flash hider was adopted in Jan. of 1945.
Later on the M1-D Sniper rifle was designed, however according to my records it was the same as the M1E7 but the sighting system was the M73 Lyman telescope with cross hairs reticle and rubber eyepiece. The scope system was call the M81. When equipped with tapered post retcile and rubber eye peice, it is designated as the M82. A later telescope used wth the M1C & D is the M84
If my memory serves. Before the M-1 Garand Sniper system the M1903A4 system was used. This system was adapted in December of 1942. This being the case, I would suspect that the Springfield 03A4 was @ Guadalcanal and not the M-1DGarand. In fact I know for a fact that the 03A4 was used in Korea and in some parts of RVN. In the era of the 03A4 and the M1D the 03 was a far superior sniper system than the Garand. Using National Match (*'d) barrels and specific glass bedding, I was taught how to glass bed by the man who designed the glass bedding system for the 03A4, longer range and more accurate shots could be accomplished.

Thanks Walt. I've read the article and have Canfield's newest book. However, I'm also aware of several prototypes which were developed prior to the adoption of the M1C. I was wondering if it was possible that a batch of prototypes were field tested prior to settling on the M1C design.

I'm not sure why, but heart-shaped versions of just about any food are so much more fun to eat than the plain old round or square or rectangular originals. They're just so cuuuute! In fact, it's this abundance of heart-shaped treats that's always made Valentine's Day one of my favorite holidays. Even when I was young and cynical and liking Valentine's Day was hopelessly uncool, I stocked up on red and pink foil-wrapped chocolate hearts to eat in secret (yum!). Anyway, now that I'm older and still cynical but don't care about being thought of as uncool, these Valentine's Day Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect heart-shaped dessert to make. Yes, I love them! Because they are shaped like hearts! Whether or not you like Valentine's Day, I promise you'll love them, too.
Valentine's Day Ice Cream Sandwiches
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
• 1 pint strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt (or just choose your favorite flavor -- Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia works well)
1. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, vanilla, and sugar. Add eggs and milk, and mix until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula at least once. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a flat disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface; use an offset spatula to unstick the dough every few turns of the rolling pin. Roll dough to an 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough using a variety of heart-shaped cookie cutters from 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter, making sure there is a top and bottom cookie for each sandwich. Place hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet; chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator; use a fork to prick holes all over the surface of the cookies. Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Using half the cookies, spoon softened strawberry ice cream about 1/2 inch thick on each underside. Place matching cookie on top of ice cream, top-side facing out. Transfer immediately to freezer to harden; repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve directly from the freezer. Sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 to 4 days.

The CDC has identified a cluster of late vitamin K deficiency bleeding(www.cdc.gov) (VKDB) cases involving four Tennessee infants whose parents declined vitamin K prophylaxis. The CDC is investigating the cases in collaboration with the Tennessee Department of Health.
According to a Nov. 15 report(www.cdc.gov) in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), four separate VKDB cases were diagnosed at a hospital in Nashville between February and September of this year. Three of the infants had bleeding within the brain; the fourth presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. In each case, parents had declined the vitamin K injection at birth, according to the MMWR report.
"Not giving vitamin K at birth is an emerging trend that can have devastating outcomes for infants and their families," CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., said in a Nov. 14 press release. "Ensuring that every newborn receives a vitamin K injection at birth is critical to protect infants."
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) first recommended(pediatrics.aappublications.org) vitamin k prophylaxis in newborns in 1961. Since then, the AAP has fine-tuned its recommendation(pediatrics.aappublications.org), and now calls for a single, intramuscular dose of 0.5 to 1 mg to be administered to all newborns.
In a phone briefing with AAFP News Now, Lauren Marcewicz, M.D., an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer with the CDC's National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, said it is important that family physicians and other health care professionals talk with parents to educate them about the health benefits of the vitamin K birth dose.
"We have talked to a number of parents (during the Tennessee investigation) who have opted out of their newborn getting the injection," Marcewicz said. "And though it is anecdotal, it seems clear that parents aren't getting the full story.
"They understand that vitamin K is important for clotting and that a deficiency can lead to a bleeding disorder, but they are under the impression that this risk ends seven days after the birth. They're not aware how severe this issue is or the fact that it can still be an issue six months out. So parents are making this opt-out decision without all of the information, without the full risk story."
Marcewicz said this issue might be behind the gap in the percentage of parents who opt out of the vitamin K injection at hospitals versus those who decline the injection at birthing centers that investigators uncovered during the Tennessee investigation.
"In one Nashville hospital that is tracking parent opt-outs, 3.4 percent of healthy infants are not receiving the injection," said Marcewicz. "According to the data we have from area birthing centers -- and this is only for 218 births, mind you -- 28 percent of newborns didn't receive vitamin K because a parent opted out. That is worrisome."

Leak confirmed at nuclear waste dump in New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Federal officials Thursday confirmed a leak of nuclear waste at a southeastern New Mexico repository, but it could be weeks before workers can safely access the underground dump to determine what happened.
The release of radiation from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant poses no public health threat, officials emphasized, but the state environment secretary said he was concerned with the lag in getting information about the incident.
The DOE on Saturday announced that it had shuttered operations in response to an underground radiation sensor. But it wasn't until Wednesday night that DOE confirmed that radiation had also been released above ground, about a half mile from the plant. And it wasn't until a Thursday press conference that Jose Franco, manager of the DOE's Carlsbad Field Office, confirmed publicly that readings from the monitors matched materials from the waste that is stored there, indicating a leak.
Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said he traveled to Carlsbad as soon as he was told Wednesday night that radiation had been picked up by an above ground air sensor.
"We are wondering why it took a couple of days to confirm the radiological event outside of the underground," he said. "We will demand that federal officials share information with the public in real time. That's the reason we are here."
Franco said it was the first such incident since WIPP opened 15 years ago, and that the emergency systems worked flawlessly after the alert late Friday night. He said the filters activated immediately, enabling only trace amounts of radiation to escape. The radiation levels underground have since been dropping, he said, indicating it was an isolated spill.
Flynn, however, said, "Events like this should never occur. From the state's perspective, one event is far too many. Our primary concern continues to be public safety."
"Even though the levels detected are very low," he said, "radiation is simply not supposed to be released outside the building."
The DOE has appointed a team to investigate the leak at the plant.
It was the second incident in just a matter of weeks. Earlier this month, a truck hauling salt below ground caught fire, shutting operations for a few days. Officials have not said what caused the truck fire, but Franco said it was unlikely the events were related. He also said there was no evidence of a seismic event at the site.
WIPP is the nation's first underground nuclear repository. Each week it receives 17 to 19 shipments of low-grade nuclear waste like plutonium-contaminated clothing and tools from Los Alamos National Laboratory and other federal nuclear sites around the country.
Those shipments have been halted indefinitely, which could impact the ability of Los Alamos to meet a state deadline this year for removing thousands of barrels of waste that currently are stored outside on its northern New Mexico compound.
After a large wildfire lapped at the edges of lab property in summer 2011, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez identified removal of the waste as a top priority.

Expert Advice to Fight Adult Breakouts
Anyone who has gone through hormonal acne in their late '20s, or even an occasional breakout post college, understands the frustration that comes along with it. Why? Adult breakouts, while they may look the same, need to be treated differently. We asked Renee Rouleau, celebrity esthetician and the brains behind her eponymous line of editor-favourite skincare products for help. (Don't worry, you're not alone! This is one of her most-asked questions!)
What's the best way to treat ageing concerns and breakouts at the same time?
When adults break out, they automatically turn to using harsh acne products to get the acne under control, but in the process, anti-ageing is being compromised since drying out the skin causes unhealthy skin. Yet, if someone with breakouts uses products for anti-ageing, they can often be loaded with rich oils that can clog pores and lead to more acne.
If you experience both wrinkles and breakouts, chemical peels are a great way to start. Professional skin peels in a skin spa or medical spa are extremely beneficial in exfoliating the skin, which offers both anti-ageing and anti-breakout benefits. The more you exfoliate and rid the skin of surface dry skin cell build up, the less oil and bacteria will be trapped under the skin resulting in less clogged pores.
In addition, exfoliation helps to speed up cell turnover, which is an absolute must for keeping the skin healthy, smooth and young-looking. You can also look for an at-home peel, containing AHA's and BHA's which can clear blemishes and clogged pores while smoothing surface texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Shop our favourite at-home peels above, all of which are packed with Rouleau's must-have ingredients, and stay tuned for another Q&A with Rouleau next week!

Like many of the vehicles produced by Chrysler, the Chrysler Cirrus gained popularity for its well-constructed frame and engineering under the hood. The Cirrus earned some rather prestigious awards when it was in production: Motor Trend magazine named it Car of the Year in 1995, and it made the "10 Best" list in 1996 and 1997 in Car and Driver magazine. These awards are just part of the reason that the Cirrus has enjoyed popularity from the beginning.
There is little doubt that the U.S. automotive companies of the early 1900s were a driving force in the industry. Such well-known companies as Buick, Ford, and Chevrolet all had their beginnings in the first decade of the century. Though founded later, in 1925, the Chrysler Corporation, as it came to be known, was an important contributor as well. This particular automotive company was reorganized from the Maxwell Motor Company by Walter Chrysler. Originally, the Maxwell Motor Company hired Chrysler to reform it into a money-making business. When that proved to be difficult, if not impossible, Chrysler chose to purchase the company and recreate it with his goals in mind.
Walter Chrysler built the new company around the idea of producing the best, advanced-design automotive products at a price people could afford. By surrounding himself with some of the greatest engineering minds in the U.S., he was about to accomplish this goal. Chrysler later became second in the country in sales, from the years 1936 to 1949.
To this day, the Chrysler Corporation still produces some of the finest vehicles available. Among its lineup of cars and sports utility vehicles, consumers can find the popular Cirrus series.
When introduced, this car replaced the LeBaron. Chrysler executives felt that it had become outdated and that the public needed a change. The prototype of the Cirrus actually debuted in 1992, at the North American International Auto Show.
The Chrysler Cirrus is more than just a pretty car that wins awards and praise for its maker. This car also provides its owner with comfort, durability, and reliability in a four-door sedan. These cars are often purchased by families or older people for their spacious cabins and trunk space, as well as their classic lines and attractive appearance.
The most current model of the Chrysler Cirrus is the popular 2000 series. This car proves popular, and many industry leaders feel that it is a good car with a lot of nice extras (even on the standard model) for the money. The low price, spacious interior, and comfortable options push this car over the top for those looking for affordability, comfort, and drivability.
It should be noted that these cars are not necessarily made of the best materials; Chrysler cut costs in production to help keep the prices low. They are also not ranked as high on safety rating tests as many consumers would hope. Families with children should be aware that there are similar cars available that fared better in these trials.
That said, the Chrysler Cirrus is still incredibly popular with buyers. These cars come standard with a very nice audio system, leather seats, and power windows and locks. Since the Cirrus is relatively small, it does not need a huge engine. The car comes equipped with a 2.6-liter V-6 motor that is more than capable of carrying the car's frame.
First introduced in 1995, the Chrysler Cirrus enjoys the reputation of a solid, attractive sedan, designed for families and those who just want a bit of comfort and luxury when they drive. The car's design and engineering contain a great deal of thought and effort.
The Cirrus series follows a once-revolutionary cab-forward design. This design allows maximum interior space for the driver and passengers and is an instrumental part of what makes this car so popular with young families and older citizens. This design also makes it much simpler for people to get in and out of the vehicle, another selling point for those with awkward cargo, such as car seats or mobility devices.
The interior of the Chrysler Cirrus showcases a spacious cabin: in addition to the cab-forward design providing much-needed space, especially in the back seat of the car, this design also features an attractive, well-placed dash and large side windows. These windows greatly enhance the driver's and the passengers' visibility.
All versions of the Cirrus have a four-speed transmission and offer either a four-cylinder engine or a V-6 in the upgraded models.

Some advice sticks with me.
My dad, when asked the secret of good photography, quotes Ansel Adams - "F-8 and be there." This means just get out in the field with your camera set and ready.
One of my college roommates shared, "You win some; you lose some. Some get rained out, but you have to dress for all the games." I use this to remind myself that no matter how things turn out, I have to keep showing up in life ready to play.
For bird watching, I came up with a variation on these two sayings: "Keep your binocs handy, and make sure you look at every bird."
During fall migration, the birds are on the move and you simply never know when an unusual visitor might appear. Every time I glance out my windows, I do a quick bird inventory. After years of watching, I know my regulars - cardinal, house finch, chickadee, titmouse, blue jay, grackle, mourning dove. Occasionally, I do a double take.
Wait a minute! There's a bright red bird in the bottlebrush. I grab the binoculars for a closer look. It doesn't have a crest or a black face. The beak is thin and pale, not stout and orange. Yes! It's a male summer tanager.
Another morning, I spot what looks like a house finch on steroids. It's brown and streaky, but way too big. Closer observation with my handy binocs reveals a bold white stripe above the eye and an extra-heavy pinkish beak. Sure enough, it's a young male rose-breasted grosbeak.
I get lots of reports at this time of year that start with "I saw a yellow bird." The bad news is that there are about 20 species of all-or-partly-yellow birds that might be passing through our area. Like any good detective, I start in with the questions.
"Where did you see this bird? Was it on a feeder, in the birdbath, in a bush? What did its beak look like - thin and pointed, or stout and conical? Was it bigger or smaller than a cardinal? Did it have wing bars?"
About this time, my star bird witness gets that glazed-over look and starts to stutter. "I'm not sure Officer Churchill. I confess. I didn't have my binoculars and I couldn't see its beak but it was smaller than a breadbox and I caught it breaking into my bird feeder."
Occasionally an observer whispers the magic words: "I have a photograph."
In this digital age, people are more likely to have a camera at hand than a pair of binoculars. While our memories are prone to error, technology can reveal the yellow bird to be all yellow with no wing bars and a beady black eye - a yellow warbler. Or perhaps it was bright yellow-orange with bluish wings and white under the tail - a prothonotary warbler.
When dealing with flocks of birds, it can be particularly challenging to look at every bird. One of my friends glanced at flock of white-throated sparrows in her yard and caught a glimpse of something yellow. Having grown up in Wisconsin where they are more common, she recognized her unusual for Georgia visitor as a dickcissel. On another occasion, she was scanning a flock of red-winged blackbirds and found that an uncommon yellow-headed blackbird had fallen in with the wrong crowd.
On the beach, I am constantly confronted with large flocks of gulls and terns. It is tempting to just call them all "seagulls" and keep walking. However, I stop and methodically study the flock. Midway through my scan I am rewarded. There, in the middle of the group, is my first of the fall Caspian tern - with a red-orange bill and sleek black cap, larger than the nearby royal terns.
I'll say it again. Keep your binoculars (and camera) handy, and remember - you've got to look at every bird.
Good birding!

About Lindsay Lawson
Lindsay reveals the divide between the virtual and the physical
"I was a professional dancer before I changed course to study fine art, so that experience has informed my most recent work on contemporary dance."
Born in the United States and now living in Berlin, Lindsay Lawson has exhibited internationally at venues such as LAXART in Los Angeles and Yossi Milo Gallery in New York. Her work spans media such as film, video, photography, sculpture and performance, and focuses on themes like presence, absence, virtuality and the slippage of meaning. Lawson's most recent work focuses on contemporary dance and deciphering what movements can be defined as such. The artist's latest photographs for Absolut Art explores the cultural significance of gestures– their meaning, formal qualities and function as an unspoken language. Lawson's series highlight gestural moments in public space, illustrating how they have both a sculptural quality in their stillness, and also a dance-like promise in their potential to move.

MVC commissioner irate over CBS blackout
ST. LOUIS (AP) The commissioner of the Missouri Valley Conference says he would rather have the tournament title game televised on the Food Network if CBS can't guarantee it will televise the entire game nationally.
Doug Elgin told The Associated Press on Monday that central and northern Illinois and all of Indiana didn't see the conclusion of Creighton's 68-65 nail-biter over Wichita State. Wichita State shaved a 13-point deficit to one in the final minute and Malcolm Armstead missed a potential tying 3-pointer just before the buzzer Sunday.
"They'll never be able to make this up to us," said Elgin, adding the conference had received "hundreds" of complaints from irate fans. "Our concern is our most important game of the year carries nationally – all of it. That's certainly what we bargained for."
CBS switched some viewers to the start of Indiana's victory at Michigan for the Big Ten title. The 10-team Missouri Valley has four schools in the areas that missed the finish of the championship game – Bradley, Illinois State, Indiana State and Evansville.
CBS spokeswoman Jennifer Sabatelle said the decision to switch games affected about 17 percent of the country and was made when Creighton had a 10-point lead with 3:50 remaining at 4:05 p.m. EDT, time for another tip-off.
"We pulled out the home territories of the Big Ten to get them to the start of the Michigan-Indiana game," Sabatelle said. "The overwhelming majority stayed on the Missouri Valley championship."
CBS acquired the rights to the title game through ESPN, with the Valley's consent.
Elgin said the finish of last year's title game, Creighton's overtime victory over Illinois State, was pre-empted in certain markets, too. Discussions with CBS since Sunday's game have not been satisfying for Elgin, who called the decision "inexcusable" and a "bitter pill to swallow" for the conference.
"I've vented a lot on this, maybe to excess," Elgin said, referring to his Food Network crack. "I do think we want to continue to have discussions on this and make sure our jewel is protected."
Creighton returned to the rankings at No. 23 and had an impressive RPI ranking of 25 after winning the conference tournament for the second straight year and earning an automatic NCAA tournament berth. Wichita State was ranked earlier in the season and had an RPI of 39 and could get an at-large NCAA tournament bid.
The Valley televises every regular-season game on Fox Sports Midwest and via the Internet on ESPN3.
Elgin had little to say about rumors Creighton might want to leave the Valley to join the so-called "Catholic Seven" in a reformed Big East. He added the Valley won't be caught in the lurch.
"We respect the right of any institution to determine its own destiny," Elgin said. "We haven't been informed of any invitation extended or discussions made, and we're prepared to move forward strategically if any decision is made."

INTERVIEW- Shameless: Sometime Favorites all about catchy pop
With most of the band members living in the same house downtown, the Sometime Favorites are one of the few bands in the enviable position of being able to rehearse day-in and day-out, a fact that they say helped them whip together their new record, All Along, in a little under a month. "We're lucky enough to live in a house that has a big basement that allows us to play music as loud as we want," says guitarist Adam Long. "Being able to come down to the basement five nights a week and play music together is great."
And once he and singer James East have hacked together some compositional wireframes, the creative magic starts to happen: "We bring them down to the band in the basement and turn the amps up," he says with a laugh. The result of all the hootin' and holllerin' and general racket-makin' is the ten-track CD, which actually turned into a fairly nice little pop record along the way– especially given that it's their debut.
"The overall goal was to make music that was accessible on different levels," says Long. "We're shameless about wanting to write catchy pop music."
The formulas they're working with are certainly tried and true– "Wait Until New Years" will fill listeners with capitalist zen, New Radicals-style, as they're trying on shoes at the mall, and "What You Wanted" is just a guitar overdub or two short of the Daughtry power-ballad, "Home." In most cases, though, the band sways between the safe zone of matchbox twenty and an occasional foray into Pumpkinland as East alternately recalls John Mayer and Adam Levine.
"Can't Stop Fighting It," in fact, echoes the latter's band to an almost eerie degree. "It sounds exactly like Maroon 5," sighs Long, "so we went back and added acoustic guitar and tried to take it as far away from that as we could and make them meld with the rest of the album."
Through it all, he says, they learned the importance of... well, homogenizing. (It's pop, remember.) "In order to make it in this industry– whatever 'making it' is, I don't even think anybody knows anymore– you do kind of have to fit into a box," says Long. "By going back and rewriting the songs and getting them all to fit in a singular genre, by the end of the album, you can say that each one is the Sometime Favorites."
Best of all, though, those 10 tracks-in-a-box will drop with an itty-bitty almost-not-even-there price tag of $5, which Long says is the slimmest margin the band could possibly manage while still covering production costs. "We're making just enough to put out a thousand more," he says. Someday, that will be the only road to popularity that matters.

The 12 Must See Movies Of September!
09.4.2013 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
September marks the end of summer movies in Hollywood and begins its transition towards the release of award winning films. Note my use of the word transition. Utilizing that word means that September only possesses 2 movies that have any real aspirations at being nominated or winning anything come Oscar time – Salinger for Best Documentary and Prisoners for a few nominations. This month also brings a plethora of documentaries. Almost half of the films on this list are documentaries. The rise in the genre is getting stronger by the year and I feel is becoming our new literature for facts. Ironically, Michael Moore, the best representative of the genre is nowhere to be found. You will find on this list everything from one of James Gandolfini's final performances on film, The Beatles back on the screen and the mysterious universe of bodybuilding. Without further delay, here are the 12 Must See Movies of September! Read More

Lost Collections
On this page...
One of the Australian Museum's most treasured books is a folio of watercolours by the 18th century museum artist Sarah Stone. More than just a skilful depiction of curiosities from early voyages, this unique work is a tangible reminder of fortunes won and lost.
And the winner is …
Sir Ashton Lever's growing sense of hope was about to be dashed.
It had been almost five weeks since the lottery had been drawn – on 24 March 1786 – to decide the fate of the museum he'd built up over 12 years or more.
Known as the Holophusikon (or Leverian Museum), it held thousands of artefacts, including a sizeable lot acquired just five years previously from his friend Captain James Cook's second and third voyages.
This was a golden age of scientific discovery. Public curiosity was high and Sir Ashton's museum in London drew large audiences willing to pay the hefty entrance fee of five shillings and threepence, or two guineas for an annual ticket. There were regular advertisements advising the public of new acquisitions and the museum was used by natural historians such as John Latham, Gilbert White and Thomas Pennant.
But in the early 1880s Sir Ashton's financial situation was worsening and he needed to sell the collection, preferably to a single large institutional buyer. His luck ran out when, despite holding more than three-quarters of the tickets in his own lottery, another's had somehow come out of the hat first.
Yet why had the winner not come forward to claim their prize, one of England's finest private museums? Perhaps they had left the country, or lost the ticket, or …?
The lottery itself was no chook raffle. Two years previously, Sir Ashton had obtained an Act of Parliament to allow the lottery to go ahead; 36,000 tickets had been printed, priced at one guinea apiece, but only 8000 had been sold – hardly a decent return for a collection valued at £53,000.
If only the British Museum had not been so truculent about taking the collection off his hands when he'd offered it to them in 1783. Had Sir Joseph Banks really opposed the acquisition? Or did they simply not have the space for his collection, which occupied 16 rooms in Leicester House in London's West End?
Unbeknown to Sir Ashton, the owner of the winning ticket had also experienced a change of luck. Mrs James Parkinson had died some time before the draw, and the winning ticket was found among her papers. Her widower eventually claimed the prize five weeks after the draw and went on to manage the museum for 20 years before his fortunes, too, were to change.
Sir Ashton died on 28 January 1788, just two years after finally handing over his museum to Parkinson, and two days after Captain Arthur Phillip set foot at Sydney Cove with a small group of marines and convicts.
Bound in crimson Morocco
Sarah Stone's work captures a time of journeys to new lands bringing back previously unseen animals, plants and ethnographic items. Her drawings are the last visual record of Sir Ashton Lever's important collection.
The Museum's folio contains 132 of Sarah Stone's paintings. It was acquired by the publisher and bookseller George Roberston (of Angus & Robertson Ltd) who generously donated it to the Australian Museum.
Writing about the new acquisition in the Australian Museum Magazine in 1928, Museum Director Charles Anderson said, 'Comparison with our collection of material collected by Captain James Cook …reveals a number of pieces identical with these pictures of Lever's treasures'.
There are just two other volumes of Stone's work. Both are held by the Bishop Museum in Hawaii and described in the book Art and artifacts of the 18th century.
The authors, Roland and Maryanne Force, mention a third volume of Stone's work, bound in crimson morocco and containing 132 drawings, that had sold at auction to an unknown collector and effectively disappeared.
The emergence of the missing volume at the Australian Museum created great excitement among researchers working on Cook's collection.
The beginning of the end
James Parkinson managed the Leverian Museum from 1786 to 1806, and Sarah Stone continued her work at the Museum under the new owner.
Parkinson commissioned a number of publications including A companion to the Museum (1790) and George Shaw's Museum Leverianum (1796), for which Shaw wrote the text and leading artists – including Stone – provided the illustrations.
Eventually, like Sir Ashton before him, Parkinson began losing money. Faced with mounting financial losses, he finally arranged an auction to dispose of the entire collection in lots. A sale catalogue of the Leverian Museum's contents was drawn up with the assistance of entomologist Edward Donovan.
In a mammoth auction spanning 60 days in 1806, Lever's museum was finally dispersed. More than 26,000 objects were snapped up by museums large and small, and individuals.
A few copies of the sale catalogue have survived with (incomplete) annotations of the buyers' names and prices paid. According to these notes, the three main bidders were Edward Donovan, collector Leopold von Fichtel and William Bullock, owner of the Bullock Museum which exhibited at the Egyptian Hall in London.
And so 1806 marked the passing of one of the great collections of curiosities in Georgian England and, by no coincidence, is the last year we see a dated work by Sarah Stone.
Leoné Lemmer and Brendan Atkins.

Most people in these parts likely view Dallas Green primarily as the man who led the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies to the franchise's first World Series championship.
For anyone around when the Phillies took the city on that magic carpet ride 33 years ago, Green's recently published autobiography, "The Mouth That Roared," (342 pages, Triumph Books, $29.95) will bring back terrific memories. The largest part of the book is devoted to the time he spent with the Phillies.
If you're expecting a warm and fuzzy book about that fabled team or about almost anything else in Dallas Green's nearly six decades in professional baseball, think again.
Green has always had the reputation of speaking his mind. "The Mouth That Roared," written with Alan Maimon, confirms that. His book is full of candid comments on the players he pitched with, the players he coached, and the executives for and with whom he worked.
The lasting impression is that Green's career was fueled by a passion for the game, a passion that itself was often fueled by alcohol. It is also clear that his views of others are often driven by whether or not they agreed with or kowtowed to him.
His honesty is refreshing. His personality is not.
It's no secret that many on the 1980s Phillies team couldn't stand him. He writes that Bob Boone, Larry Bowa, Greg Luzinski, Gary Maddox and Mike Schmidt were in that group. On the other hand, Steve Carlton, Bake McBride, Tug McGraw, Pete Rose and Manny Trillo all bought into his program, which was for players to give 100 percent all the time and put the team before the individual.
The reality is that whatever he and they did, it really didn't take hold until the end of the 1980 season. It was two days before the season ended that the Phillies clinched their division title.
That was followed by the five-game National League Championship Series (widely thought to be the best post-season series ever). It took five games, four of them going into extra innings, for the Phils to win. From there it was on to beat the Kansas City Royals in six games and turn Philadelphia into Celebration City.
At this point, nobody really cared whether Dallas was the pain-in-the-ass many thought him to be or the genius others called him. All that mattered was that the PHILLIES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
A couple of years later, Green headed off to run the Chicago Cubs, at the time the worst team in the league. The Cubs' new owner wanted a new approach. They thought Green was the answer. For a while he was.
As Chicago's general manager, Green pulled off a most lopsided trade when he dealt shortstop Ivan DeJesus to Philadelphia for Larry Bowa and a young throw-in named Ryne Sandberg. Sandberg went on to an extraordinary, Hall-of-Fame career as the Cubs' longtime second baseman.
Green's attitude, which he admits can be off-putting, apparently wears thin pretty quickly. He left the Cubs after five years, going on to manage the New York Yankees for part of the 1989 season. From 1993 to 1996, he managed the New York Mets. (He's one of three people to manage both the Yankees and the Mets. The other two? Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra.)
Ultimately, "The Mouth That Roared" is an interesting book by an interesting man whose time in baseball allows him to reflect on people whose names are familiar to us.
While he wasn't always successful, he clearly never had much self-doubt. The only organization with which he has had any long-term relationship is the Phillies, where he still serves as a senior advisor to the general manager.
What you can take from that is twofold. The Phillies are a loyal organization, and Green did bring them their first World Series victory. The other is that he is particularly good at judging talent. His instinct about getting the young and unproven Ryne Sandberg to Chicago is one example of his ability to see a young player and project his future.
Green's book is not without admissions of failure. There are also hints throughout that underneath that brash, profane, alcohol-driven persona is a decent and caring human being.
That is never clearer than in his moving writing about his granddaughter Christina-Taylor Green, who was killed in the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that wounded congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
This shows a human side to the man who for most of his career tried to deny he had one. It's a fitting end to a fascinating book by an interesting if not always likeable guy who personifies what it means to be a "true baseball man."

Marion "Peggy" Sitarchuk, 86, formerly of Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill, a community volunteer and former social worker, died Sept. 8 at Foulkeways in Gwynedd, where she had been a resident for the past two years.
Until her retirement in 1988, Mrs. Sitarchuk had worked for more than two decades in bookstores at Chestnut Hill Academy, St. Joseph's University and Rutgers University-Camden.
In 1950, she joined the staff at Reed Street Neighborhood House in South Philadelphia, which provided services to refugees. It was there that she met her future husband, Leon Sitarchuk, an art teacher, painter muralist and sculptor. They married in 1952 and, after raising a family in Mt. Airy, moved to North Wales.
After the death of her husband in 1993, she moved to Chestnut Hill and volunteered at the Woodmere Art Museum, updating the collection database. In 1999, she received Woodmere's Catherine M. Kuch Distinguished Service Award. At Foulkeways she helped to organize and catalog the library.
She donated 60 of her husband's sketches for murals to Woodmere and 10 of his steel and metal sculptures to Montgomery County Community College for a sculpture garden.
Raised in Huntingdon County, she attended Juniata College. After graduation she operated a nursery school in Baltimore.
Mrs. Sitarchuk is survived by a son, Eric; a daughter, Peggy; five grandchildren, and a great-grandchild.
A celebration of her life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at Foulkeways, 1120 Meetinghouse Rd., Gwynedd. Memorial donations may be made to Woodmere Art Museum, 9201 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118. – WF

Here's how you play the naming game: First, go to prettypleasenailpolish.com and click "Shop." Then, proceed to choose your color (we're coveting the cobalt shade), and type in a name or message up to 24 characters long. Finally, purchase your polish (they're $10 each) and wait patiently for it to arrive in several days. See, super easy, right?
The cool thing about this site is that you can name a polish and keep it for youself (hello, cool factor!), or type a message for a friend and give it to them as a unique gift for graduation, Valentine's Day, a bachelorette party, baby shower—you name it (literally).
So what are you waiting for? Visit the site, pick a color, type a message, and let us know what you think!

Tomah Man Sentenced To 20 Months For Robbing Pharmacy
MADISON, WIS. -- John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Jesse Kirk, 35, Tomah, Wis., was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Lynn S. Adelman to 20 months in federal prison for pharmacy robbery. Kirk pleaded guilty to the charge on October 3, 2013. Kirk was also ordered to pay restitution to the victim pharmacies in the amount of $8,154.82.
Kirk admitted to robbing four Madison-area pharmacies over a ten-day period in April 2013, stealing various types of controlled substances, including Oxycontin.
During sentencing, Judge Adelman found that while Kirk's robberies were driven by his own drug addiction, a prison sentence was warranted because of the severity of the conduct and the fact he victimized pharmacy staff during the robberies. During a robbery on April 15, 2013, Kirk told pharmacy staff, "You have two minutes or you are going to get hurt."
The charges against Kirk were the result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Madison Police Department. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Meredith Duchemin.

In regard to the article of Dec. 26 on the "rusty" NMHU Student Center, I have to agree with Jesus Lopez to a point. The overall exterior design, while interesting, does not seem to fit with the rest of the university's architecture; however, there it is and there it will stay.
I suggest we wait three or four years and then if there is a general dissatisfaction with the building's exterior, changes should be considered. In the meantime, let's use the $38,000 on other improvements to the campus.

Purple Heart Awarded 70 Years Later
ST. CLOUD (AP) - A World War II gunner who survived when his B-17 bomber was shot down over Germany in 1943 has been officially awarded a Purple Heart medal in St. Cloud.
Ninety-two-year-old Lawrence Huschle was held as a prisoner of war for nearly two years after the plane crash. Initially, the government couldn't verify that Huschle's plane was shot down or that he was treated for injuries suffered in battle.
Huschle's brother, Ray, began working to make the verification 20 years ago. When Ray died, Huschle's grandson, Troy Huschle, stepped in and with testimony from another survivor of the 1943 crash successfully filed paperwork for the award.
About 200 soldiers joined Huschle's family and friends for the award ceremony Sunday at the armory.

Author Notes: Fried egg sandwiches are a staple in my household. I love making them for dinner when I'm home alone – though I've been known to serve them to my husband multiple times in a week. They're one of those things where details really matter, so I find myself tinkering each time I make one. For this version, I slather harissa and mayonnaise on two slices of toasted sandwich bread, then top with thinly sliced avocado and tomato, thickly sliced bacon, and two crispy eggs fried in olive oil and bacon drippings and sprinkled with red chile flakes. The harissa and chile flakes elevate this sandwich to something memorable (and addictive). I love that they're front and center without being overpowering; the rest of the ingredients nicely temper their heat. I typically fry two eggs so I get some in each bite, but if your bread is on the smaller side, just fry one. —EmilyC
Serves: 1
2 slices of your favorite bread, toasted
2 thickly-cut slices of bacon
1 T extra-virgin olive oil, for frying the eggs
2 large eggs
A pinch of red chile flakes
kosher salt, to taste
1 T mayonnaise
1 T harissa
1/2 small avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
small tomato, cored and thinly sliced (optional -- great if tomatoes are in season, otherwise skip)
- In a skillet (cast iron works great), cook the bacon over medium heat until it's crisp. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate, and cut the slices so they'll fit nicely on your bread.
- Leave about 1 T of bacon drippings in the pan. Add the extra-virgin olive oil to the bacon drippings. Add the eggs, sprinkle with salt and a pinch of red chili flakes, and cook over medium heat until the whites are set and crispy on the edges but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 3 minutes.
- While you're frying the bacon and eggs, toast your bread and mix together the mayonnaise and harissa. Add more harissa if you want more heat. Salt the tomato slices.
- To assemble your sandwich: slather the harissa-mayo mixture on each slice of bread. Top your bottom slice with an even layer of avocado, then the bacon, eggs, tomato slices (if using), and your last slice of bread. Cut your sandwich in half, if you like (I like to cut mine right down the middle). Bite down and enjoy.

Boa Hancock (One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2) – Cosplay of the Day
Today we have a pirate empress who has crossed over from the world of manga, to anime, and now to gaming. Let's give a warm Cosplay of the Day welcome to One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2's Boa Hancock.
Boa's biggest claim to fame, other than her jaw-dropping good looks, is the fact that she's the only female member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which is a group of famous pirates who have joined forces with the World Government. Though she's known as a great beauty, you still wouldn't want to cross this pirate.
Here is Dani-foca, an Italian cosplayer, rocking Boa's signature outfit, complete with revealing top and red sarong. It looks like a wonderful costume for a hot day, provided that no strong breezes come whipping out of the air. She's even got Boa's earrings replicated perfectly, as well as her famous, jet black hair, cascading down her backside. All in all, this is a fantastic cosplay that deserves the highest merits.
Come see more of this swashbuckling cosplayer on her deviantART page and let us know if you'd sail the seven seas for her!
Want your Cosplay to be seen? Send your info to email@example.com and we may feature you in our Cosplay of the Day!

But I also wanted to take a moment to talk to you about my latest little baby…We Two Thieves…a new project I'm so thrilled to bring into the world with the most gorgeous Emily Lubitz of Tinpan Orange.
Many of you will be aware of my band crush on the Tinpans. I can't get enough of singing with Emi any chance I get.
We Two Thieves has taken on a new energy all of its own and the songs and stories we have weaved together are so very special to me. And so different to the world of Mama Kin.
It's so exciting to be poised on the edge of sharing this new project with the world. It brings us so much joy and we hope you'll love it just as much as we do.
I can't tell you how proud I am of our debut album At Midnight We Ride and I treasure the moments of sharing harmonies with my fellow thieves.
We're touring all over the place in November so come on out and check out the vibes. The show details are all on the Mama Kin shows page.

A Warwick motorcyclist was seriously injured after he hit a sign pole on Post Road in Warwick around 7:40 p.m. on June 15. Todd Jerdee, 42, was transported to Rhode Island Hospital where, as of yesterday, he is still listed in critical condition.
The initial investigation showed the motorcycle traveling south around the 5900 block of Post Road when the operator lost control, mounted the curb and struck a sign pole on the center median, where the bike came to rest. The operator was thrown from the motorcycle and landed in the roadway. The rider was not wearing a helmet.
"I think he's lucky to be alive, to be honest with you," said Lt. Michael Gilbert of the Warwick Police Traffic Division. "I believe he would have reduced the severity of many of his injuries if he was wearing a helmet."
Police said it does not appear that speed or alcohol had anything to do with the accident and charges are not likely to be filed against the operator.
The Traffic Division's Accident Reconstruction team is investigating the accident. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information related to the crash is requested to contact the Warwick Police Department Traffic Division at 468-4343.

Rune was a science fiction fanzine published by The Minnesota Science Fiction Society.
Rune began life as MinnSTF Newsletter in the mid 1960s, but the group members very quickly changed the name to Rune.
The editor of Rune from 1974 till 1976 was Fred Haskell, for issue 39 - 48, with Editor Elect David Emerson. Lee Pelton was the editor from 1978-1980. In the early 1980s, Lee and Carol Kennedy were the co-editors, succeeded by co-editors John Bartelt, Garth Danielson and David Stever Schnoes. and in the 1990s the editor was Jeff Schalles, with editorial staff Garth Danielson, and Tom Juntunen .
It was published throughout the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and into the 2000s. Issue 85 appeared in March 1955, and issue 66 was released in March 2002.
Contributors of writing included John Bartelt, Nate Bucklin, C.J. Cherryh, David Emerson, Giovanni Fregni, Rick Gellman, R.J. Johnson, Carol Kennedy, Dennis Lien, Jeanne Mealy, Dave Nixon, Steve Perry, David E. Romm, Jon Singer, Robert Whitaker Sirignano, John Stanley, John C.

Included also were reprints of speeches by Ted Johnstone, with illustrations by Bjo Trimble.

Previously, co-editor Garth Danielson had published Boowatt.
