Hometown hopeful Nathan Cull will be joining the Lakehead Thunderwolves men's hockey team in September.
Cull, who spent four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, had five goals and four assists in 54 games playing for the Sudbury Wolves in 2013-14.
He finished his OHL career with 18 goals and 26 assists in 221 contests, split between Sudbury and Kingston, where he played parts of two seasons. The 5-foot-11 forward also collected 288 penalty minutes, an average of 72 a season.
Cull was traded from Kingston to Sudbury in October 2012, a one-for-one deal that saw winger Samuel Schutt sent to the Frontenacs.
"I'm extremely pleased and honoured to be playing for my hometown team," Cull said in a release issued Thursday by the university team.
"I can't wait to get the school year and the hockey season started. I'm eager to play with a great group of guys and win some games in front of the Lakehead fans."
Wolves second-year coach Bill McDonald said he's adding another character player to his squad.
"In his four years in the OHL, he showed that he's a gritty player and he skates well. That should help him develop into a good CIS hockey player in the years to come," McDonald said.

Simple Green: Use Empty Food Jars For Your Bulk Items
Sometimes the simplest of ideas go overlooked: instead of buying new glass canisters, just wash out old food jars when they're empty to store your bulk food items. We've been doing this for awhile, and have accumulated a fair share of glass peanut butter jars (we're big natural peanut butter fans) which we now use to store items like oatmeal, quinoa and flaxseed...
We like our glassware looking clean and sticky-free, so we soak the jars first and then scrub off the old food label. We've been planning on getting some pretty blank food labels to add a nice homespun touch, although regular labels or masking tape would work just fine.

just an fyi for anyone who does this so you don't ruin something like i did-- the lids really soak up scent. if you store cornmeal in an old salsa jar, it will pick up a little "mexican" flavor, and if you store something in an old pickle jar it will have the flavor of pickles. soaking the lids in hot water and baking soda seems to help.
Excellent point, laura123. Thanks for sharing.
Also, tear the (usually small) section off the packaging that tells you how to cook the stuff. Stick that into the jar with the foodstuff.
I've been storing my bulk items in glass jars for a couple of years, actually. I definitely prefer nice-and-neat glass jars over sloppy plastic bags.
Just FYI - please be careful if someone in your household or circle of friends has food allergies. Even a well-washed peanut butter jar can harbor just enough traces of peanut to give someone a serious allergic reaction.
I have a lid from a garlic-tomato sauce jar- I soaked in 2 hot water/baking soda baths last night, and it still smells strongly of garlic. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
thanks, laura! i had the same problem when i reused an old tomato sauce jar! running it through the dishwasher didn't help. i'll def try the baking soda trick!
I use old jars for all sorts of storage in the kitchen. I keep a china marker nearby so I can write directly on the jar. This is useful for marking dates or ingredients. The marker is durable enough to stay on no matter if the jar is in the fridge, closet or freezer but it wipes off easily when the jar is empty and I'm ready to relabel.
I've been using old jars like this for years. The best way I have found to get rid of the smells is to leave the jar and the lid out, on a counter or (ideally) a window sill in the sun for a few days. Even jars that once held pickles now happily house oatmeal and rice with no ill effects.
I've had excellent luck deodorizing my thermos by sticking a piece of white bread in there and closing it for a few days. I assume it would work with a jar too?
We take ours jars with the tare weight written on them when shopping. Saves a plastic bag and the effort to repack the purchase. I have purchased items for the beautiful jars they came in.
Soak it in febreeze for a few days, wash well and let the febreeze aroma fade.
I use them to mix batters and other stuff in bc it makes it easier for when I get ready to cook. I have jars that already have all of the ingredients in them to batter fried squash and/or okra for instance and it is just enough for each batter. I do this for soups as well it makes it much easier for when I get ready to cook.
the makers of mason jars also have plastic one piece lids that fit on most pasta sauce jars, so i usually just throw away the original lid and swap it for a fresh clean new one......
I just did this a couple days ago by filling jars with my mom's homemade bar soap, cotton balls, and makeup sponges and it makes my bathroom uncluttered and sleek. I love the way the light bounces off the layers of glass when they are lined up in a row on my shelf.
I also filled an old Rose's lime juice bottle with sugar and stopped the opening with a japanese eraser; it looks great on my cooking cart next to my french press and makes pouring sugar into coffee a lot easier.

An Inhofe gem from last week that we missed: "Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) got the crowd [at CPAC] cheering early in the day. 'I have been called — my kids are all aware of this — dumb, crazy man, science abuser, Holocaust denier, villain of the month, hate-filled, warmonger, Neanderthal, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun,' he announced. 'And I can just tell you that I wear some of those titles proudly.'"

When a person injures their knee, it becomes inflamed. When a person has a cold, their throat becomes inflamed. This type of inflammation is the body's natural and protective response to injury. Interestingly, there is growing evidence that a similar process happens when a person experiences psychological trauma. Unfortunately, this type of inflammation can be destructive.

Atypical Antipsychotic More Effective Than Older Drugs In Treating Childhood Mania, But Side Effects Can Be Serious
The antipsychotic medication risperidone is more effective for initial treatment of mania in children diagnosed with bipolar disorder compared to other mood stabilizing medications, but it carries the potential for serious metabolic side effects, according to an NIMH-funded study published online ahead of print January 2, 2012, in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
Physical Activity And School Performance May Be Linked
A systematic review of previous studies suggests that there may be a positive relationship between physical activity and the academic performance of children, according to a report in the January issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The study was undertook by Amika Singh, Ph.D., of the Vrije Universiteit University Medical Center, EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and colleagues.
Maltreated Children Show Same Pattern Of Brain Activity As Combat Soldiers
Children exposed to family violence show the same pattern of activity in their brains as soldiers exposed to combat, new research has shown. In the first functional MRI brain scan study to investigate the impact of physical abuse and domestic violence on children, scientists at UCL in collaboration with the Anna Freud Centre, found that exposure to family violence was associated with increased brain activity in two specific brain areas (the anterior insula and the amygdala) when children viewed pictures of angry faces.
Quality Of Mother-Toddler Relationship Linked To Teen Obesity
The quality of the emotional relationship between a mother and her young child could affect the potential for that child to be obese during adolescence, a new study suggests. Researchers analyzed national data detailing relationship characteristics between mothers and their children during their toddler years. The lower the quality of the relationship in terms of the child's emotional security and the mother's sensitivity, the higher the risk that a child would be obese at age 15 years, according to the analysis.
Group Programs To Prevent Childhood Depression Prove To Be Effective
Psychological interventions to prevent depression in children and adolescents can be useful and with protective effects that last for up to a year, finds a new systematic review. According to research cited in the new review, in 2002, depression ranked second greatest cause of disability in developed countries and first in many developing ones. The review appears in the current issue of The Cochrane Library, a publication of The Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.
Children With Behavior Problems Are More Likely To Have Thoughts Of Suicide
Children who show early signs of problem behavior are more likely to have thought of killing or harming themselves, suggests new research in the latest issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health. Past research indicates that about 20 percent of adolescents have suicidal ideation, which includes having thoughts of suicide or some level of suicide planning. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks suicide as the fourth leading cause of death in children between ages 10 and 13 from 1999 to 2007.
Few Parents Recall Being Told By Doctors That Their Child Is Overweight
A new analysis of national survey data finds that less than one-quarter of parents of overweight children recall ever being told by a doctor or other health care provider that their children were overweight. And although that percentage has increased over the last 10 years, more improvement is needed, said Eliana M. Perrin, MD, MPH, associate professor in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, pediatrician at North Carolina Children's Hospital, and lead author of the study.

NFL Mock Draft post-Scouting Combine (with videos!)
2/28/12 in NFL | Dan_B | 1067 respect
If St. Louis trades the No. 2 pick to Cleveland and gets Blackmon and a hulking defensive tackle, as well as other picks and future picks I think they would come away happy. The Rams need help in the middle of the defensive line and could target Worthy, Mississippi State's Fletcher Cox or Nebraska's Jared Crick with this pick.
23. Detroit Lions, Mark Barron, S, Alabama
Barron's absence from the Combine and likely Alabama's pro day (see above for more details) might turn some teams off to him--but someone will take a chance on the draft's top safety. Who better than Detroit, who had a one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL last season? The Lions surrendered 946 pass yards in their last two games last season and play in a division with the Green Bay Packers, who love to spread the field and throw the ball. Perhaps Barron can help slow down the Pack.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers, Cordy Glenn, G/T, Georgia
Ben Roethlisberger got hit way too much last season, and the Steelers need him healthy. Don't be shocked if the Steelers target the best offensive lineman left on the board, and with Kalil, DeCastro, Reiff and Martin gone that is either Glenn, Iowa State's Kelechi Osemeli or Ohio State's Mike Adams.
25. Denver Broncos, Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
This pick remains the same as the January Mock. The best security blanket for a young quarterback is a good pass-catching tight end, and Fleener is just that. Fleener didn't run at the Combine because of a bum ankle, but is expected to run at Stanford's pro day in three weeks. Right now he and Dwayne Allen from Clemson are neck-and-neck for the distinction of top tight end in the draft. If Fleener performs well on pro day, he could separate himself.
26. Houston Texans, Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
The Texans desperately need a wide receiver opposite Andre Johnson, and no receiver in the draft is trending up as quickly as Hill. Hill played in Georgia Tech's triple-option, run-first offense, so his numbers weren't that impressive in college, but his performance at the Combine sure was. He measured in at 6'4" 215 lbs. with 33 3/8" arms...and then he went and ran an official 4.36 40 (fastest among receivers) and looked great in drills. If the Texans want a different receiver they could opt for Jeffrey, Wright, Mohamed Sanu of Rutgers or Rueben Randle of LSU.
27. New England Patriots (from New Orleans), Zach Brown, OLB, North Carolina
Patriots draft picks are incredibly difficult to predict, but I might as well guess Brown, since he is one of the most talented players left on the board. He ran a 4.50 official 40 at the Combine and has the ability to rush the passer off the edge in New England's 3-4 or play on the inside and rack up tackles against the run.
28. Green Bay Packers, Fletcher Cox, DT/DE, Mississippi State
Green Bay has to go defense in the draft, given its prolific offense last season, but issues against the pass. The Packers have a solid linebacking core, but generated almost no pass rush from their down linemen last season. Cox has the versatility to play a few spots on the d-line, and could help the Packers get after the passer.
29. Baltimore Ravens, Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama
Hightower is simply a tackling machine, and while defense is the Ravens' strength, they are an aging defense, so an infusion of young talent could be good for them. Hightower could slot in as the eventual successor to future Hall-of-Famer Ray Lewis.
30. San Francisco 49ers, Alshon Jeffrey, WR, South Carolina
Jeffrey really could go anywhere from the top 10 to the third round and it wouldn't really shock me. The 49ers need a receiver who can stretch the field and open up the seams for Vernon Davis. Jeffrey is a strong receiver who can go up and get a deep ball, and in a way, he reminds of Boldin circa 2003. Sanu or Randle could be other options here as well.
31. New England Patriots, Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
The Patriots' pass defense was not good last season. Yes, it was injury-riddled, but anytime you have to play a wide receiver (Julian Edelman) in the secondary it isn't a good thing. Dennard and South Carolina's Stephen Gilmore are the best corners left on the board here. Gilmore is a little faster than Dennard, but Dennard is slightly more physical, and I think that is the direction the Patriots will go with the pick.
32. New York Giants, Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
Allen could compliment tight end Jake Ballard, who tore his ACL in the Super Bowl, and his status for 2012 is unclear. Allen is an athletic tight end and should give Eli Manning another target to throw to, especially if Ballard isn't fully healthy and Super Bowl-hero Mario Manningham departs via free agency.
Other top prospects: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M; Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin; Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State; Jared Crick, DT/DE, Nebraska; Vinny Curry, DE/OLB, Marshall; Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers; Rueben Randle, WR, LSU; Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State; Orson Charles, TE, Georgia; Kendall Wright, WR/KR, Baylor; Andre Branch, DE, Clemson; Kelechi Osmeli, G/T, Iowa State; Stephen Gilmore, CB, South Carolina; Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois; Lamar Miller, RB, Miami.

Tuscan Bean Salad
Prep: 23 minutes; other: 8 hours
Chickpeas, which are popular in southern Italy, and cannellini beans, which are preferred in northern Italy, come together to offer variety in texture and flavor. Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are firm and lend an earthy, nutty flavor, while cannellini beans (white kidney beans) are mild, slightly sweet, and creamy. Add a quick vinaigrette, fresh herbs, and chopped vegetables for a tasty side salad that complements chicken or lamb.

Where We Live: Taxing Inequality
Income inequality stands to be the biggest issue - not just of the next election
Nationally - the debate has played out in the halls of congress where many Republican lawmakers have taken pledges to oppose raising any taxes on the rich - calling the top 1% the "job creators" that America needs.
The debate has also played out on the streets since September - as the Occupy movement looks to represent the 99% that hasn't had a chance to take part in this economic boom.
But from a standpoint of both politics and fairness, any call to simply "tax the rich" faces a big uphill battle.
Here's a thought, though - what if there was a plan to tax the inequality that's gotten much worse in the country since 1980, instead of just focusing on taxing the wealth. What if tax policy was seen as an incentive for the "job creators" to make sure all boats lift with their rising tide?
Our guest is Ian Ayres - a Yale law professor and economist - who along with Berkeley's Aaron Edlin - has a new plan that he outlined in the New York Times.

Return To Oz
A long-distance sequel to the classic 1939 fantasy-musical, this evocative, well-mounted adventure ditches the songs, putting greater emphasises on the scarier elements of the Oz mythology created by L. Frank Baum, and hence cleaving closer to the books. Apart from names and character traits, there is nothing stylistically to attach the two films, Walter Murch (the famed editor of The Godfather) gives his film a harder, colder looking fantasy world — the film starts off with Dorothy (played much more as a child-figure by Fairuza Balk) escaping electro-shock therapy, not quite the fluff of her whirlwind departure back in '39.
When we arrive in Oz, there is none of the Technicolor gleam, this is a devastated world: the Yellow Brick Road is all but destroyed, the Emerald City in ruins. Murch flips the game the original played, by having Kansas rich and colourful, and this dying Oz desaturated and wan. Things are bad.
Dorothy, clutching the talking chicken Belinna, meets up with a new set of companions on her quest to right Oz's wrongs, after all The Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion have been inconveniently turned to stone. So we have Tik-Tok a wind-up man with onetime Blue Peter presenter Michael Sundin inside, Jack the Pumpkinhead, a lanky scarecrow-alike, to accompany her. Murch is also trusting to his special-effects to give him a more elaborate, dare-we-say realistic depiction of Oz, using a combination of puppetry, animatronics, and relatively ineffective claymation to bring to life the weird denizens, especially chief foe, the Nome King a kind of talking rock face. The other enemy is Mombi the witch, played with waspish cunning by Jean Marsh, who in one quite terrifying sequence proves to be able to possess interchangeable heads.It's enthralling as well as rambling, you do miss the songs, but there is clearly no place for them here. Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation.

Who's That Guy Vol. 3: Phoenix Suns Stretch Four Channing Frye
When CBSSports broke the news that Phoenix Suns center Marcin Gortat had been traded to the Washington Wizards for an injured Emeka Okafor, the belief that the Suns were committed to tanking was summed up as follows: "Focus on young talent, clear more salary space, and focus on next June's draft. Lock them into the No. 2 spot in the lottery right now."
After the team acquired Eric Bledsoe, many believed they would seek to simply play their young talent as much as possible and explore the possibility of moving their other point guard, Goran Dragic. No one thought that new head coach Jeff Hornacek (former Jazz assistant) would be able to lead this young core and get them to buy in. No one thought that Dragic and Bledsoe would be able to share time on the court (let alone effectively), and no one believed that the team would be able to get productive contributions from the likes of Miles Plumlee (9.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 1.8 BPG) and Gerald Green (12.9 PPG).
–Sign up for our 1-day Christmas Fantasy Bonanza on DraftStreet for a chance to win $100,000!–
Defying the odds, the Phoenix Suns are living up to their new social media mantra, Ignite The Future, with a 17-10 record. The style that Coach Hornacek has gotten his group of young players to commit to is predicated on many of the things that Coach Nick analyzes, namely floor spacing via pick and pops and efficient three-point shooting, while being able to attack the basket with two quick, penetrating point guards. This is a team that scores 103 points per game and attempts the third most threes.
The wheels on the bus take the form of veteran Channing Frye.
This year, with injuries to Dragic and Bledsoe, Frye leads the team in minutes, points, and field goal attempts. He is averaging 11.3 PPG for the season, but has shown improvement as he shakes off a nagging shoulder injury. After a forgettable first eight games where he only broke double digit scoring once, Frye has shot better than 50% from the field and from three. His role in the offense is that of a pick-and-pop big, and he is emerging as the premier example of just how devastating a three-point threat can be as the screener in the team's go to action.
Want some evidence to support his involvement as a pick-and-pop big? Of his 118 attempted threes, only nine have come from the corners (per NBAwowy). On top of this, 35% of his shots come from catch and shoots. The Suns starting unit, Frye-Plumlee-Tucker-Dragic-Bledsoe scores 101.1 points per 48 minutes while only allowing 95.7 points.
As evidenced by his shot chart, Frye is lights out when shooting wing threes (44.1% for the season). The part of his game that the Suns are the most excited about is that Frye can put the ball on the floor and be deadly close to the rim with an awkwardly-useful pull-up jump hook. His stellar role in the offense and heady shot selection yield a true shooting percentage (a metric that scales to the value of threes as well as including free throws) of 61.2%, another category in which he leads the team. When Frye is mixing up his play by occasionally rolling to the basket, slipping screens, he creates that half-step of hesitation from the defender when he does decide to shoot a three.
Although the Suns have burst onto the scene as a competitive bunch, it still remains to be seen what their long term plan is. With an extremely hyped draft inbound, the Suns may be looking to move Frye to a team in need of a stretch forward (the Rockets, Pacers, and Clippers come to mind). The nature of the business could become that Frye's stellar play actually makes him more likely to be traded come the deadline, with the same going for point guard Goran Dragic. But as it now stands, Frye's skillset allows him to create mismatches on a nightly basis, ushering a new trend in basketball that invests in three point attempts and attacking the rim.

Astronaut Ron Garan visits bitly!
NASA Astronaut Ron Garan stopped by the bitly HQ on Friday while in NYC for the International Space Apps Challenge, a two-day hackathon where citizens from seven continents, 44 countries and 83 cities came together with the aim of making the world a better place.
Ron's well-known not only for his work at the International Space Station (he's traveled there twice, first in 2008 for a two-week construction mission and then again in 2011 for a six-month excursion), but as the astronaut who went viral when he started tweeting from the ISS and later answered questions about his experience as part of a few Reddit AMAs.
Ron chatted with us about the importance of international collaboration, his organizations and of course, what a day is like in space.
On international collaboration
I believe we have all the technology and resources to solve the problems we face. The primary reason why we still face so many problems relies primarily on our inabilities to collaborate on a global scale.
I believe it's possible to live in a world without poverty, where everyone has access to clean water, where no one goes to bed hungry, where we educate all our children. I believe that the power of collaboration will fuel incredible economic growth. We're all in this together, so the only way we can solve it is all together.
Every truly great accomplishment didn't just seem impossible - it seemed crazy. It might seem impossible to lift the entire planet out of poverty, impossible to find cures to diseases but the point is if we can fly to the moon and fly there safely, if 15 nations can come together and build a space station, then we can do anything. Nothing is impossible.
On his projects since coming back to Earth
Fragile Oasis is an initiative that uses this perspective we have on [international collaboration] to inspire others to go out, work together, make a difference and make the world a better place.
I realized that there's probably a lot of efforts that are trying to build universal collaboration, so the first step to do that is to collaborate with those organizations. That's where Unity Node comes in, it's an effort to unify those efforts from around the world. We're trying to connect existing databases and existing groups to build a global community.
I also believe businesses have a tremendous capability to solve problems. There are a lot of groups that want to accomplish some kind of social good and do that in a financially stable manner, but even when startups get funding they can fail because they don't have the things they need. CoImpact.co is going to be a global community of business development tools that these groups can use.
What is a day like in space?
There are 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day. It's busy - we wake up around 6 a.m. GMT. 80 percent of the day involves picking up with experiments - we do a lot of medical research, try to make new materials, research new medicine, new forms of energy, the list goes on and on. 99.9 percent of what we do is trying to make life better on the planet.
20 percent of the day is maintenance. It does take a lot of work to maintain the space station as well.
Then we have some downtime that we can spend in the cupula taking pictures of the Earth or working out. We have to work out two hours each day to keep bone density and muscle mass, which we do through resistance machines.
A photo Ron tweeted from space when he was at the International Space Station in 2011.
Can you describe a space walk?
It is an amazing experience. I've done four spacewalks and logged around 27 hours total in space. The first time I went to space, I did three space walks. We have a long robotic arm that's about 100 feet long and it locks in your feet. The first time, the arm carried me across in an arc shape about a hundred feet above the space station.
It took about 35 minutes each way. When I went there, it was nighttime and when I came back, it was day. On the way down, I shut off the lights in my suit and it was like the whole universe opened up, I could see the milky way and everything. On the way back the sun rose.
Half of my brain was saying "wow, this is incredible and beautiful," and the other half was saying "yeah, but it's not real." I had nothing to compare it to, floating inside a space suit with all of infinity out there.
Where was the trade-off when you realized you shouldn't be doing research in space and instead evangelize people about your causes?
Right now, we fly about three or four Americans a year. You stay at the space station for six months, training is two-and-a-half years, that's a long time. When you're done with a six-month mission, you have a six-month debrief and then you get back on line. The line is not moving very fast. The way I looked at it, I've flown twice and there are a whole bunch who haven't gotten to fly once. It didn't make sense to try and get back on that line.
I looked at it from an impact view - what am I going to do that's going to make more of an impact? I could get in line and train for another six months in space or I could use the experience I already had to make a difference. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing now.
What was your favorite experiment or research you did while in space?
From a fun point of view, we have these flying robots that were pretty cool. There are two robots that go through the air and maneuver around each other.
From a scientific point of view, we discovered a property in our research that went to be used in the vaccine for salmonella. We also did a lot of energy and combustion research and that research is leading to new ways to eliminate hazardous waste and efficiency.
We were so excited to have Ron visit us last week. If you're interested in learning more about Ron, his career or his projects, be sure to check out our bundle here.

Make beautiful decorations for your home, from your garden
Make this fabulous Christmas garland with a few pine cones, cinnamon sticks, seasonal fruit and bits and pieces from your garden. It not only looks beautiful, but has a delicious scent too. When the Christmas chaos of shopping, card-writing, and parties just gets too much, I like to hide away, listen to some mellow festive tunes, and do something creative.
So if you've watched Kirsty Allsop's attempts to get crafty on TV and thought you'd like to have a go too, try this easy Christmas garland, which I made in just a couple of hours last weekend. I collected the pine cones while on dog walks close to my house, and dried some clementines and limes to add a little colour. The twigs, rosemary and rose hips are from my garden, and the cinnamon sticks, string and red raffia are available from garden centres and craft shops.
1. Prepare your ingredients
Use red raffia or string to tie together small bundles of rosemary, rose hips, and sticks from the garden. Wash cones collected from parks or your garden in warm soapy water, rinse, and then leave them to dry and open up naturally in a warm room. To prepare the clementines and limes (you could use oranges and lemons if you prefer), cut into thick slices, and lay them directly on a shelf in a warm oven, set at about 50°C, for a couple of hours.
2. String 'em up
Lay out your ingredients, arrange them to form a balanced design and then measure out a piece of string twice the length of your garland. Wrap the string around the pine cones to secure them, make holes in the fruit slices with a skewer and thread them on, and carefully tie the other elements together. It is a bit fiddly, so take your time.
3. Display your creations
When all the ingredients are tied together you can either hang your garland from a picture hook or place it over the fireplace (as shown at the top).
Five minute idea
If you don't have time for a garland, try these easy pine cone Christmas tree decorations instead. They only take a few minutes and are a great idea for children to make. Just twist a length of coloured raffia or string around the cone a couple of times, and tie the ends at the top with a bow. Then use decorative craft spray to add a sprinkling of snow.

The Academy Screens "A Man and a Woman" and "The Monkey King" in 3D
BEVERLY HILLS, CA –The Academy celebrates the arts and sciences of movies with the following events in the month of October:
|New York
Presented in partnership with To Save and Project: The 10th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation, the Academy will screen a new print of Oscar-winning French film "A Man and a Woman" from the Academy Film Archive. The print was created as part of the recently announced Film-to-Film project, an initiative to create and acquire new archival film prints for conservation, research and exhibition. In 1966, Anouk Aimée was propelled to international stardom and received an Academy Award nomination for her sensitive work in Claude Lelouch's "A Man and a Woman." The poignant story of a young widow who has a romance with a race-car driver, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, the film is noted for its visual imagery and Francis Lai's memorable score.
Tickets are available online, by mail and at the door (subject to availability). For more information, call 212.821.9251 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Los Angeles
The Academy is proud to participate in the first China Onscreen Biennial (COB), launched by the UCLA Confucius Institute. In scope and design, the COB is an unprecedented four-week bicoastal collaboration among American cultural organizations to promote U.S.-China dialogue through the art of film. The COB will look at both the present and past of Mainland Chinese cinema, bringing some of the best examples of contemporary Chinese filmmaking, as well as archival rarities and film restorations, to American audiences. As part of the Biennial program, the Academy will present the West Coast premiere of a Chinese animated classic, "The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven." A beloved classic of Chinese animation, Wan Laiming and Tang Cheng's 1960s animated feature returns to theaters after a painstaking and dazzling 3D makeover led by experts at Los Angeles-based Technicolor.
Tickets for Academy events are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID, and may be purchased online at www.oscars.org, in person at the Academy box office, or by mail.

WELLINGTON - An area sheriff arrested amid an investigation by the Texas Rangers will remain on duty for the foreseeable future.Collingsworth County Sheriff Jerry Allen faces two charges both connected with him hiring his step-daughter in the sheriff's office. The indictments are the result of an on-going Texas Rangers investigation. Allen was arrested Monday by Childress County Sheriff Mike Pigg on one count of abuse of official capacity and one count of official misconduct. He was booked into the Childress County jail, and bonded out not an hour later. The District Attorney for Collingsworth County, Luke Inman, recused himself from the case so it's now being handled out of Wilbarger County by District Attorney Staley Heatly. Allen could be forced to pay up to $4,000 in fines and spend up to a year in jail if convicted on the abuse of official capacity charge, which is a class C misdemeanor. The official misdemeanor charge is a special misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000. Several Wellington citizens told NewsChannel 10 they were confused at why the Texas Rangers would be involved in a small town nepotism case. Jail administrators would not say whether Allen's step-daughter, Camielle Creamer, still works for the sheriff's department, but they did say Allen was back on the job Tuesday.Allen could not be reached for comment.

Eruption of Krakatoa : loudest sound ever heard in modern history
On 27 August 1883, at 10:02 AM local time when the sound emerged from the island of Krakatoa, which sits between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. It was heard 1,300 miles away in the Andaman and Nicobar islands , 2,000 miles away in New Guinea and Western Australia and even 3,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues, near Mauritius. In all, it was heard by people in over 50 different geographical locations, together spanning an area covering a thirteenth of the globe.
Think, for a moment, just how crazy this is. If youre in Boston and someone tells you that they heard a sound coming from New York City, youre probably going to give them a funny look. But Boston is a mere 200 miles from New York. What were talking about here is like being in Boston and clearly hearing a noise coming from Dublin, Ireland. Travelling at the speed of sound (766 miles or 1,233 kilometers per hour), it takes a noise about 4 hours to cover that distance. This is the most distant sound that has ever been heard in recorded history.
So what could possibly create such an earth-shatteringly loud bang? A volcano on Krakatoa had just erupted with a force so great that it tore the island apart, emitting a plume of smoke that reached 17 miles into the atmosphere, according to a geologist who witnessed it1. You could use this observation to calculate that stuff spewed out of the volcano at over 1,600 miles per houror nearly half a mile per second. Thats more than twice the speed of sound.
This explosion created a deadly tsunami with waves over a hundred feet (30 meters) in height. One hundred sixty-five coastal villages and settlements were swept away and entirely destroyed. In all, the Dutch (the colonial rulers of Indonesia at the time) estimated the death toll at 36,417, while other estimates exceed 120,0002,3.
The British ship Norham Castle was 40 miles from Krakatoa at the time of the explosion. The ships captain wrote in his log, So violent are the explosions that the ear-drums of over half my crew have been shattered. My last thoughts are with my dear wife. I am convinced that the Day of Judgement has come.
Closer to Krakatoa, the sound was well over this limit, producing a blast of high pressure air so powerful that it ruptured the eardrums of sailors 40 miles away. As this sound travelled thousands of miles, reaching Australia and the Indian Ocean, the wiggles in pressure started to die down, sounding more like a distant gunshot. Over 3,000 miles into its journey, the wave of pressure grew too quiet for human ears to hear, but it continued to sweep onward, reverberating for days across the globe. The atmosphere was ringing like a bell, imperceptible to us but detectable by our instruments.
The Krakatoa explosion registered 172 decibels at 100 miles from the source. This is so astonishingly loud, that its inching up against the limits of what we mean by sound.
By 1883, weather stations in scores of cities across the world were using barometers to track changes in atmospheric pressure. Six hours and 47 minutes after the Krakatoa explosion, a spike of air pressure was detected in Calcutta. By 8 hours, the pulse reached Mauritius in the west and Melbourne and Sydney in the east. By 12 hours, St. Petersburg noticed the pulse, followed by Vienna, Rome, Paris, Berlin, and Munich. By 18 hours the pulse had reached New York, Washington DC, and Toronto1. Amazingly, for as many as 5 days after the explosion, weather stations in 50 cities around the globe observed this unprecedented spike in pressure re-occcuring like clockwork, approximately every 34 hours. That is roughly how long it takes sound to travel around the entire planet.
In all, the pressure waves from Krakatoa circled the globe three to four times in each direction. Meanwhile, tidal stations as far away as India, England, and San Francisco measured a rise in ocean waves simultaneous with this air pulse, an effect that had never been seen before. It was a sound that could no longer be heard but that continued moving around the world, a phenomenon that people nicknamed the great air-wave.
Frankfurt : Interesting comparison of two towers next to each other
Another old structure in Frankfurt that survived WWII. It basically describes how different objects are arranged next to each other for added effect, especially when they contrast. It isn't necessarily "arranged next to each other"… Juxtaposition means when two things that are utterly different are observed as such. Like, you see a group of nuns walking through the Red Light District or something… or if a solo pianist opened for a death metal band at a concert.
The amazing thing about Frankfurt is that it only has 700.000 inhabitants, but during the day 2-3 million people are in the city, working, shopping, travelling through.

From the ashes of winter rises the Phoenix of spring…….. I didn't disappear from the blog world I just lay dormant during this tough winter, but now i return more enriched and changed!…..tbc
Fall is in the air, pots are on the stoves and the apple harvest and game birds are in full swing. There is some good eating on the horizon! Winter is coming!
With the autumn in full swing it seemed only right to take some European flavors and some home comforts as inspiration. Scottish pheasant, red cabbage, Medool date, whole grain mustard spaetzle, European soldier bean, brown butter confit pheasant thigh.
The autumn is upon us, so many different varietals of autumn products available at farmers market, so little time.
Colorado lamb, anchovies, dehydrated black olives, whipped goat feta, roasted red pepper, ichiban eggplant, mâché
So even being October and everyone telling me I should start prepping the garden for autumn. I have stood my ground, with such great tomatoes and eggplants appearing everyday, why wouldn't I ride this wave for a little longer. Let the plants and garden speak to you, they always do.
Mahogany clams, brown butter sand, ocean herbs, seaweeds, mangalista dashi
Even though its fall don't count the garden out yet! still producing great summer ingredients in October!
Butter poached lobster, root vegetable risotto, roasted chicken, vin jaune, mire poix
Taking inspiration from travels abroad, some times leads to pure deliciousness. A homage to burgundy. Escargot braised in their own juices, garlic velouté, Yukon gold gnocchi, parsley oil, toasted almond.

Business Ideas in the News / April 17, 2012
A Straw Hat Pizza Genuine California Pizzeria franchise is opening in the National Plaza shopping center next to Publix, becoming the company's first franchise in Georgia.
The restaurant at 2816 Washington Road will open in late April or early May, depending on progress for the construction project, partner Shailen Patel said.
Patel is renovating the 2,600-square-foot space, which can seat 65 customers.
San Ramon, Calif.-based Straw Hat Pizza surveyed the area and selected the location for the franchise, he said.
"They found that this was one of the busiest Publix stores in Augusta. From here to the other side, there's no sitting pizzeria restaurants. That's why they chose this location," he said.

Motorcyclists face roadside MoT-style inspections and restrictions on fitting accessories under proposals from Brussels.
The UK's MoT system will be replaced with a new Europe-wide roadworthiness inspection regime under the plans.
As well as roadside spot checks just for bikes, the European Commission is proposing:
• Compulsory tests whenever a vehicle has been in an accident, changed owners or been modified...

This type of harmonisation is DEFINATELY NOT required, needed or wanted in the UK. In EU countries with the likes of TUV legilsation it only means cost of ownership is increased for no benefit.
What this legislation would mean is that EVERY non OEM part would become illegal and as such the manufacturer can hold the driver to ransom for whatever cost they want. It would also mean that you couldn't buy the exact same part from the component manufacturer but would instead have to buy it from the vehicle manufacturer at whatever mark up they want.
It would also mean that you MUST maintain ALL receipts for ALL parts bought (irrespective of age) to show at any roadside inspection or MOT etc. Any MOT centre that wants to make a quick buck could deny you an MOT because they suspect a part wasn't bought from a recognised dealer of the vehicle manufacturer and was a type approved part just because you no longer have the receipt.
This legislation MUST be stopped if you don't want to be mugged by corrupt politicians in cahoots with the manufacturers.

This has been threatened for many years , type approval is practised in countries that tolerate bikes ,which I am afraid is begining here . The ONLY thing that has held it back so far is ,many after market parts suppliers will go to the wall . Taxi"s have to have more than one M.O.T. a year after a certain age ,and they like us are minority road users ,so the government think they can always sh*t on you . Within two years new licensing rules {E.U. directives -again } will kick in ,including the raising of age on some types of bike . They are only TALKING about new rules for cars . How many youngsters do you know on a bike ? ,the reason"s are pretty obvious . I would never give up my bikes {no car } ,but if I was starting from scratch ,I wouldn"t bother ! .

NEVER forget the European Convention on Human Rights for without it we'd probably all be murdered by the state.
Time to tell these crazy politicians where to go with their stupid little ideas...
Manufacturers will of course SUPPORT this idea as it means they can charge what they like for custom parts without any hinderance from competition.

I have no problem traffic police pull me over and inspect my motorbike as it is always road legal and safe. At the end of the day i would rather spend the time and effort making sure it is legal and road worthy and most off all safe. The roads are dangerous enough place with potholes and silly idiots in there ford galaxys with there mobile phones and rear brake lights not working ''cough - tit on a47'' cutting me up because there to busy talking to their boyfriend and fixing there hair.
If you make sure your bike/car is road legal and safe you got nothing to worry about. At the end of the day motorbiking has its risks but perhaps thats part of the thrill, but i dont want to add to the risk by driving an unsafe bike... Takes no time to make sure its safe and sound.
Only thing is why is the price going up for an mot.. I hope these rules are going to happen to cars,, hgv ect as it isnt fair for motorcyclists to have to fork up.
Anyway safe riding.... and have fun

This is all bullshit. I'm absolutely fed up with the EU dictating to us what we can and can't do. It's about time the cocks who supposedly run our country grew some ball and told them to politely (as we are British) to get fucked! Anyhow I really can't see them getting this in... Think of how much it would cost to put everybike back to bog stock and how many it would put of the road whilst people tried to get there bikes back to standard... And think of how many votes they would lose if they allowed this to happen. Plus how are they going to police it? They barely manage with things as it is. And then there's all the aftermarket businesses that would be put out of business. If they have to do it for bikes on the grounds of safety they will have to do it for every vehicle on the road!! It's time to join the MAG I think.

As been said The EEC is here to stay, but when unelected knobs preach all these rules and regs that gets my goat up. This should apply to all motor vehicles as a whole and not just a section, motorcycles generally are more roadworthy(better maintained) than other vehicles as most are looked after better than their partners.

I find it offensive that they wish to impose different standards to motorcycles. I have for a while also thought it wrong that MOT is used for law enforcement. It should be purely a safety check. Noise is an issue and I believe this is something for roadside checks not the MOT. After all like number plates you just change the part back to standard for the test. All the MOT achieves in this area is to be annoying. And neither of these 2 things are about safety. But guys, some exhausts are too noisy and something should be done - its just selfish and inconsiderate. It's also a problem equally found on cars. The maddest element of MOT is indicators - if fitted must work! So it's ok if you take them off - bonkers.
I am particularly worried about these tests because I trail ride. I have to change my plate for MOTs because a fully legal one simply wouldn't survive a ride. Likewise if made to fit indicators.

I have just responded to the EU survey, but felt that I needed to add this note to the final comments box.
This is a very poorly designed survey form- offering no option to disagree with a series of proposals, all of which are undesirable.
Please take "No response" as an indication that I would oppose all the suggested options.

As usual, this ill-thought out proposal actually does little or nothing for the safety aspect as it claims, rather, it's just about revenue generation and victimisation of a category of road user that the eurocrats don't like. As this sort of thing becomes more prevalent, it's clear that there is now one particular course of action that motorcyclists need to take and that is a policy of 'non-cooperation'. This is the only way to show the 'authorities' that the people who pay their salaries don't want to be treated this way. With this mornings news that police have given up the streets of Britain to anti-social behaviour, it's obvious that they will be unable to cope with a mass protest along such lines. It's a last resort, but what choice to oppressed minorities have?

It's puffed up because it's trying to scare you into leaving it alone. If it's put back into the water it will release the water it's holding inside itself and look like a normal fish again! The poor thing, i hope someone puts it back into the water!

Sometimes one layer of skin just isn't enough, as this double-zipped back illustrates. It's amazing what you can do with a little bit of paint, a lot of talent, and a great deal of creativity. And with her knack for convincing skin art, we bet Cho is in high demand around Halloween!
Right now, Cho is just at the start of her career, and we can't wait to see what she's going to come up with in the future. In the meantime, we hope you've enjoyed these wonderfully quirky images of her body art as much as we have.

Adult Fiction AUSTEN
Summary: Sense and Sensibilityis one of the best loved of Jane Austen's novels, populated by great comic creations like Mrs. Jennings, the unscrupulous cad Willoughby, and guileless and artful women.  As ever, Austen suffuses her work with great ironic observation and tremendous wit, producing a masterpiece of romantic entanglement that time and a very different set of mores cannot diminish. Sense and Sensibilitywas the first of Jane Austen's novels to be published, coming out in 1811.  It had a long gestation, beginning asElinor and Marianne, an epistolary novel that Austen wrote in the 1790s.  The novel centers on the sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who are forced to leave their home with their mother and younger sister, Margaret, and move in reduced circumstances to the West of England.  Elinor, the sensible sister, and Marianne, the overimaginative romantic, must rely on a good marriage as a means of support.  As their excellent schemes are intruded upon, Austen subtly explores the marriage game of her times, as both sense and sensibility affect the sisters' chances of happiness and comfort.

The Element vs The Dark!1 Reviews
Kirin faces off againest Nirik, a Nightmare created by King Leogun sent to destroy him. He uses the powers of darkness for his attacks and seems to get the upperhand. Can Kirin stop him?
Instead of rejoining Kirin, we now get a short glimpse of the others. Streaky is still running up a flight of stairs. He is getting tired of running. "Geez, this castle can't be that high." As he passes by, the walls around him change to make it look like he's going through different places. Like a forest, a mountain range, and even a snowy landscape. "Burr...It's cold here." Then it turns into a beach like area, and he sees some large fish jumping out of the water. His mouth waters, "Man. Would I give for a fish like that. Wait a second, yes I can." One of the fish lands in front of him, and transforms into a fish dinner on a silver platter. "Now this I like." He is prepared to eat. Meanwhile, Krypto enters a large room that resembles a ball room, only made of out glass. He begins to walk around and in certain parts of the room, he sees images of those he knows. In fact, he sees events in which he has experienced with them. He sees his meeting with Kevin, to the Dog Stars, and even some other new faces. "This room is strange. I'm starting to see things I used to know." On the ceiling, unknown to Krypto, Para-Clone spies on him evily.
Back with Kirin, he looks on at the new foe in front of him. The guy jumps from the hill and lands on the ground below. "I bet you're wondering. How a handsome guy like you has such an awsome doppleganger like myself." Kirin asks, "Doppleganger? Just who are you exactly?" "I thought you never ask. The name is Nirik. In this case, your worst nightmare." A dark aura bursts out of him and a shockwave passes by Kirin. He isn't phased by it, but his cape flows with the wave. "Let me guess. You're here to destroy me, is that it?" Nirik replies, "Oh no. Well maybe. Who knows. I could either spare you, or kill you. Really all depends on my mood. Whether or not you live at all doesn't concern my master. He created me to simply fight you. Killing you or not is up to me alone, let's just leave it at that." "Really? So what is it you can do exactly? Being my clone, I assume you have the same powers as me?" "Maybe. Maybe not. Who's to say? Why don't we find out? Shall we?" Kirin gets serious and launches a beam of fire at him. But it is blocked by something. "What the?" Kirin exclaims as Nirik uses some dark shield thing in front of him to block the attack. The flames disappear. His voice is heard in announcing his move, "Dark Arts, Dark Shield." Kirin is surprised as he thinks, "Dark energy huh? So that must be his power. Instead of Element Arts, he uses Dark Arts." Nirik puts away his Dark Shield and snickers. Kirin continues to think and picture people using Dark Arts, "I've only heard about this brand of magic. It consists of using the powers of darkness as a weapon. Powerful stuff indeed. It is said to rival almost any other brand of magic known in existance. Leogun must of juiced him with Dark versions of my attacks. I better be careful." Nirik pulls out his bladeless sword sheath. "I can't let my guard down, even for a second. Even if this is all a dream, dieing is for real." He takes out his sword sheath and says, "Element Blade, Form!" He blade turns into a fire blade. "Fire Blade." Nirik makes a blade out of darkness for his sword, "Dark Blade." They both charge in and clash blades. "A sword fight it is then. Let's see what's stronger, your elements, or my darkness!"
Meanwhile, Leogun and Isis watch the fight from their throne room. "Well well. Looks like the human has already begun his fight." Leogun says, changing the crystal ball's image to Krypto. "Superdog is close to his opponent already." Then to Streaky, "And while this one snacks, his opponent waits patiently. Such is the way of the hunter." Isis asks, "Tell me my king, do you have any thought of them actually getting to us?" "My dear, the only way they can get to us really, is if the Nightmares simply drag their corpses up here. I created these Nightmares to easily overpower them. How they do it is my little secret. Just watch." It goes back to Kirin and Nirik. The fight continues as they push each other backward. After some distance, Kirin unleashes an attack, "Fire Whip!" His sword becomes long like a whip as he swings it at Nirik. He knocks it down with his own sword, "Is that all you got? Here's something better. Dark Crackle!" His blade turns into a dark whip and it goes for Kirin. He nearly dodges it and it makes a large cracking sound. "Woah! That sounded dangerous." Nirik continues trying to whip Kirin with his attack. "That's it! Run! Run away from my whip!" Kirin thinks, "But he's sloppy with his moves. He can easily..." He disappears from Nirik's sight, "Huh? Where'd you go?" Kirin appears from behind him and continues his thought, "get surprised." He slices him in two with his firey weapon. Nirik falls to the ground, looking like he was killed off. Kirin looks at him, "So much for that."
Commercial Break...
Leogun and Isis look onward as they see Kirin has won. "Your nightmare lost." Isis says. "I thought you said they were unbeatable." "Now now my dear. Who's says my creation has been vanquished." Back to Kirin, Kirin puts away his blade and walks away. "I wasted enough time as it is. Gotta find Ace." Behind him, he doesn't see that Nirik is reforming himself with dark energy. We see Leoguns eyes as he says, "In this world, so long as I can see, no creation shall perish. That is my ruling." Nirik finishes reforming. Kirin senses something and turns around, but Nirik's body is gone. "Huh? Where did he.." Nirik appears behind him so suddenly, at a slow motion rate, he puts his hand on Kirin's back as he turns his head around in shock. "Dark Arts, Dark Lightning!" Kirin is blasted with dark lightning, which makes him scream in pain. He collapses to the ground. Nirik chuckles and steps over him. "I'm betting you thought you wasted me earlier. Nope. See, in this world, so long as my master watches over me, so long as I live. He won't let me die. So you, are pretty much owned right now." Kirin struggles to his feet. "Oh? You want some more? Very well. I can enjoy this."
Nirik disappears and reappears in front of him. He throws a punch but Kirin blocks it. "What the?" "Oh please Nirik. A small blast like that won't put me down for good. You'll have to do better than that to get rid of me." Nirik gets a bit mad and throws another punch. But it is blocked again. Then he starts throwing a series of punches that all don't land a blow. Then Kirin begins his counter attack and throws his share of punches. Nirik leaps backward. "So you still have some energy left in that body of yours. Guess next time I'll make sure my lightning kills you. In fact, why don't we step it up a notch?" His body starts emitting a strong dark aura, with energy bolts shooting out. "His aura is increasing. That can't be good." Kirin thinks. Nirik takes out his blade again and forms a Dark Blade, "Come! It's time for your funeral!"
Streaky makes his way up the stairs again and comes to a door. "Huh? A door?" It's a rather large doorway. So large indeed, the door handle is up so high. "Dang. There must be a giant living behind that door. Oh boy. I don't like giants." He flies up to the doorknob and tries to turn it, but it doesn't budge. "Gah! Stupid door!" Behind the door, someone, perferably Blaconda, waits on the other side. "I know your out there kitty. This time, I'll make a lunch of you yet." Now back to the fight, Kirin takes out his sword sheath again and makes a Fire Blade. "Come on! Let's go!" Nirik flies in at him and they clash again. At fast speeds they clash blades with each other. They crash into the landscape and destroy it as they fight. "Dark Lightning!" Kirin jumps into the air and begins to spin, "Fire Tornado!" He spins in a vortex of fire right into Nirik, causing a huge cloud of dust to rise up. They leap out and both skid across the ground. They both then run toward each other. "Fire Slice!" Kirin swings his sword and sends a blade shape of fire energy at Nirik, who side steps it. "Dark Wave!" He swings his blade upward and a large crescent blade of energy slices toward Kirin from the ground up. Kirin rolls away from it, and then puts his hand on the ground. "Earth Pillar!" Nirik jumps from place to place to avoid the pillars. "Dance of Darkness!" Nirik sticks his blade into the ground. Kirin doesn't know what is coming, and is hit by many pillars of darkness from the ground. "And now, Dark Sting!" He goes and kicks Kirin iun the chest with a hard kick, with dark energy on his foot. "And to top it off, Dark Lightning!" His foot is still on his chest, so the lightning goes through that and shocks Kirin. Kirin looks as though he is finished.
"There we go. I told you he was no match." Leogun tells Isis, who still has her doubts. Back at the fight, Nirik looks at the body of Kirin. He senses he is still alive. "Bleh. You're a tough one I can give you that. But darkness will always conquer all others. Looks like you won't be seeing Deathcon anytime soon." Kirin's eyes go red for a second hearing that name. He is angry. "Oh well. Time to end this." He take his Dark Blade and prepares to strike down on his head. As he strikes, Kirin's hand grabs the blade. "What?!" Kirin's body glows with a white aura as he begins to stand up. "So you say darkness will conquer all others? Well then..." He puts his face up. "Why don't we shed a little light on the situation?"

Evanston gun buyback program nets 45 firearms
Patrick Svitek, Online Managing Editor
December 16, 2012 •
Evanston residents turned in 45 firearms Saturday during a gun buyback program, an initiative that took on heightened significance in light of recent shootings in the city and a national tragedy hundreds of miles away.
The total roundup included 26 handguns, 15 rifles and four shotguns, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said this afternoon.
The weapons' owners were offered $100 for each returned gun, meaning the city doled out $4,500 on Saturday. It remains unclear how the city will use the remaining funds it had raised for the program, $10,000 of which Northwestern donated.
"I'm sure something constructive is going to be planned," Parrott said in an email.
The gun buyback came a day after a lone gunman killed 20 children and six adults during a rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The program was also held weeks after its chief organizer, Carolyn Murray, buried her 19-year-old son Justin, who was gunned down Nov. 29 in front of his grandmother's house on Evanston's west side.
Justin's slaying led to two more shootings that killed one man and wounded another this month. Authorities believe these incidents are the latest flare-ups in a bloody, gang-related family feud that may date back to 2005.
At Murray's funeral, Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl urged community members to participate in the gun buyback program and stop the "unacceptable" violence.
"We have too many guns in this community," Tisdahl said in a statement Tuesday. "We must work together to get guns off the street through buy-back programs and other means until local jurisdictions have the authority to enact real gun control legislation."

The server described the food as "Small Plates." Well, indeed all the dishes on the menu were in small portion. They went pretty well with Italian wine I had (though the wine list had some Long Island wines as well.) The food was Italian and the style was Small Plates. I loved the squid ink risotto and the duck with fig sauce. The home made banana ice cream was amazing. The slightly curved bar table is charming, and you can sit face-to-face with your friends there.
