Guard Steve Blake will miss 3-4 weeks because of fractured cartilage that connects the rib to the sternum. He originally suffered the injury during the Lakers' game against Phoenix and aggravated it in Wednesday's game at Utah.
Although the news on Blake wasn't good, the Lakers did get Josh McRoberts, Troy Murphy and Jason Kapono back in the lineup Friday.
Blake missed the game because of fractured cartilage that connects the rib to the sternum and Brown said he could sit out Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Blake said earlier Friday that it hurt to perform everyday tasks such as "breathing, throwing, anything like that."
McRoberts had missed the previous six games because of a sprained big toe and Murphy sat out the Lakers' game against Utah because of an upset stomach. Kapono didn't play against the Jazz after the birth of his twin daughters.

Note: This is NOT a sponsored post or review. This is me just raving about a product that I love.
As a small business owner trying to juggle a day job requiring travel, and all the other requirements of life, scheduling and planning my time well is a struggle. Especially long-term planning for goals and sub-goals, like around the holiday season.
To plan all this out, you definitely need to see the whole picture. And that's something I'm not very good at keeping straight in my head.
So when I found out that two handmade business friends, Rachel and Kim, each used the Neu Year Calendar, I knew it was the perfect solution for my long-range planning problems.
The Seize the Year calendar shows the entire year on one large piece of heavy-weight paper (or coated dry-erase paper, you choose). Even better, it's double-sided – one side shows the calendar in a portrait layout, while the other shows it in landscape.
But my favorite thing is that this calendar isn't from a mass retailer like Target or Office Max, it's from a small business. It's their only product. And with that comes fabulous, friendly service.
I chose the uncoated paper version so that I could write on it with pencil or pen. When it arrived, it was just as awesome as I'd hoped. I had to hang it, and was too busy to build a beautiful frame like Kim did (silly me!).
I bought a lightweight painter's canvas, painted the edges teal to tie in with my office, and attached the calendar using spray adhesive. Because the canvas was so light, it was easily hung with Command Velcro Picture Hanging Strips. The only downside is that I didn't apply the paper to the adhesive well, so there's some bubbles and some curling edges.
Also, I ended up drawing on it and scribbling on it in pencil and marker, so now it looks a bit messy. But it definitely gets the job done.
This massive paper calendar fit perfectly in my redesigned office, in the nook where the door opens from the hall into the room. I can eye it from my desk at all times, which is perfect for keeping long-term deadlines on my radar.
In the process of using it for three months I've realized that I'd do better with the dry-erase version, so I just ordered a new, dry-erase one. I plan to staple it to my canvas over top of the old one.
And guess what? I discovered they're on sale right now, which is even better!

Food waste can really add up when on a tight budget. When I meal prep for the week I think about what food items I have on hand that need to be used. I check the fresh produce first. Most likely the produce guides me to what I will be cooking for the week. I also take into consideration the ingredients in all recipes I'm going to make. Some recipes call for the same ingredients which a great way to use up leftover food.
A couple of weeks ago I was making creamy cauliflower sauce. The recipe calls for boiling the cauliflower in vegetable broth until it's soft. When the cauliflower was done, I didn't want to just dump that vegetable broth. It still had a use and there was nothing wrong with it! Therefore I planned two additional recipes based on the vegetable broth I had strained from the cauliflower. I ended up making quinoa using the vegetable broth and I made chicken tortilla soup.
This is just one example on how to stretch your food budget just a little further. I do the same thing when I open a can of beans, vegetables, spaghetti sauce, etc. If the recipe doesn't call for the whole jar or can, I plan an additional dish. Instead of tossing leftover ingredients, figure out a way to use them in other dishes. It takes a little planning and a little thinking, but in the long run it's worth it!

|Let the memory of Jack be with us forever
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Jack Morrow, 72, born on May 4, 1942 who suddenly passed away on February 17, 2015, in Texas. The memorial service will be held on March 13, 2015 at 2:00pm at Gilbert Funeral Home, Selkirk, Manitoba.
Sympathy cards may be sent to Debbie and family at: 45 Heathwood Drive, Box 62, Traverse Bay, MB R0E 2A0
Please share stories or memories and photos of our beloved Jack.
"Hey Jack, been missing you lately. This is the time of year we used to chew up the Palm Springs golf courses. Was thinking about you while golfing and driving through Ireland this past summer and remembering how we navigated all those round-abouts through Scotland and England on our golf trip to the British Open."
"TWO FULLY YEARS -- It sees like only yesterday we were out playing golf and having fun. Really miss my Friend Jack. He was always up beat and had a good story to tell. RIP my dear friend"
"Was thinking about Jack and Debbie a lot this past week as Leah and I were golfing on those same courses we used to haunt together in Palm Springs (Shadow Ridge, Desert Willow, Mission Hills, La Quinta, PGA West). Lots of good memories of the laughs, the golf cart hijinks, the restaurants, the enviously crisp clean golf shots launched off Jacks driver. Leah's brother Gary and his wife Linda came over from San Diego and Gary and I reminisced about playing with Jack and David at PGA West stadium. Miss you lots Jack."
"Debbie ,
Thinking of you always !
Love Garry & Audrey"
"Jack will always be remembered, will never be forgotten and a Papa to our dear Scarlet. Our thoughts and prayers."
"One year has passed and Jack would be so proud of Debbie and how she has handled the entire years process. It was full of grief of losing her Love, the estate work, and tons of paperwork for business conclusions. Some days it was overwhelming and others went along just fine. Spice the cat was a huge comfort even though his tormenting would continue during the quilting sessions. Debbie kept everything going which included inviting family and friends to her home to share in what her and Jack had created. Debbie made new memories as well as enjoyed their boat, fishing, yard work and humming bird feedings. The entire year was a tribute to Jack in Debbie's eyes as it remained important to keep Jack's spirit alive and the things he cherished near. One year can seem like an eternity, but it is the beginning of a new strength for Debbie to share with others. Her butterfly wings can now spread far. Again, Jack would be proud."
"It is hard to believe that one year has gone by without Jack. My year has been spent dealing with lawyers and accountants and Revenue Canada and bankers! Lots of things to look after. People say not to make any changes for one year, although Barb and I did try to clean the garage and keep up with all the yard work and home maintenance. After all the hard work was done, we decided to head off to Hawaii and take in some sunshine. Starting playing tennis and took a few golf lessons as well. Met some friends here, so thinking of coming back next year, One year just reminds me of all the years stretching ahead that we are without our beloved husband, father, brother and friend. It is very hard to be without him and he is always in my thoughts and in my heart."
"Debbie, you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers each day. We were just saying this morning that it doesn't seem like it is a year since the four of us were having such a great time on South Padre Island. We think of your dear and precious Jack so often. We really miss him and all the good times we all had together -- precious memories! Nelson sure misses the golfing and comments on this often that Jack was such a great friend -- and a great golfing buddy. Debbie, may you be blessed today with many precious memories of your dear and precious Jack. Wish we could have been together for supper tonight and light a candle in Jack's memory. We will do this when you get back home! God Bless You today, in a very special way, our dear and precious friend! Love you so much!"
"Dear Jack: You've made a greater impact on my life then almost any other man in my life. You taught me things about life that you just cannot learn. I'll always treasure our moments fishing, and laughing while cracking jokes.
I'll always miss you, and i'll never ever forget our last conversation.
Love you and miss you like a father. Goodbye my friend."
"On Saturday with the big hype on the up coming fight I was sitting at home here thinking about boxing and remembering the time that Jack and I went to Brandon to watch a certain fight. Jack was right up to speed on the fight game and knew all the fighters. Well there was a competition who could get the most points and Jack went one way and I went the other on his advice. We won the prizes and as I recall his score was almost perfect.
On this what would have been Jack's Birthday I fondly remember all the good time spent celebrating that very event. RIP Jack we will be there to celebrate with you at some point."
"Dearest Jack,
We miss you lots & lots, for ever!"
"It is with a very saddened heart that I write a note today. My wife and I were sitting remembering all the good times we enjoyed with the Morrows. Golf trips, snow machine trips, parties at the lake, and lets not forget the pool table - a labor of love. LOL Jack we will miss you and Debbie if there is anything we can help with please give us a call. I am in hopes to get into Winnipeg for a visit in the not to distant future and again if I can help out please ask."
"One night, I was looking forward to getting together with Jack and Debbie this summer. Next morning, I learned that Jack couldn't wait for the next time that I was counting on.
We met Jack and Debbie first as Gordon's clients about ten years ago, and then they quickly became two of our dearest friends. Jack wore many hats in our relationship ranging from our client, partner, pharmacist, friend, to family.
Regrettably, I wasn't able to attend Jack's memorial service today with the time and distance restrictions, but spent the day remembering him going through the wonderful memorial site Debbie created. I'm sure she arranged an equally wonderful memorial service for him with the family and friends around as well.
Thank you so much Jack for your trust, loyalty, and friendship all these years. Hopefully you are reunited with Gordon and Daksh now and you all are enjoying one another's company again. You guys are probably bantering over Fox news, UFC fights, and SEO strategies ("Gurden, you have no SEO" as Daksh would often say). And of course, contemplating world domination with new business ideas from numerous brainstorming sessions.
Debbie, we both appreciated you just as much and I hope to be able to repay your kindness at least little bit through this difficult time. Please don't hesitate to contact me anytime you need a friend (if you can settle for an unreliable one, that is). His memories are alive in my heart, and you and the family are in my thoughts."
"Debbie and the rest of the family,
Our deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. I have many good memories of Jack during his time in Melita. He was a good person and I will treasure the great visit we had at the luncheon for Gerry.
I want you to know that I am thinking of you."
"We are so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We have many memories from our time together In Melita and later our Usana days. Our thoughts are with you Debbie and your family."
"Debbie and Families. So very shocked and sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Burt remembers many good times with Jack on the golf course, playing hockey and Kinsmen functions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Deepest Sympathy, Burt and Darlene"
"Debbie, your dear Jack was a wonderful loving and caring friend who was loved by all who had the great privilege of knowing him. We will never cease to thank God for the wonderful memories. We will miss our dear friend Jack so very much. May you be blessed with many precious memories, Debbie. How we loved having you both come and visit us in Texas -- so many wonderful times together and precious memories both here and at home. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers each day. May you feel God's arms of comfort wrapped around you. Love you so much, Debbie. You are a dear and precious friend -- and will ALWAYS be! Our love and prayers."
"Hi there Debbie and family. I was so sorry to hear of Jack' passing. I went to school with him in Melita till grade 4 when my Dad Oscar Goodman was transferred with the bank to Erickson. I have fond memories of Jack his parents and the rest of his family. My Mom Vina curled lots with his Mom and I remember they won silver trays at the Winnipeg bonspiel of which they were very proud! Lots of days to their drug store. I remember they sold sheet music which my Mom always bought and I still have!, I passed the info from the Free Press to another classmate Bev Cameron. Although I haven't seen him for years remember Jack as always a real nice kid and so sorry he is no longer with you. Take care"
"We met Jack on a few occasions over many years and we were deeply saddened to read this news. I remember him most as someone who brought my wonderful friend Debbie to meet up with me at my parents when I would visit from afar, often bringing incredible support at times when it was needed the most. We feel very privileged to have known him just a little and we extend our sincere sympathies to all the family and many friends affected deeply by this loss. love from Sherry Bowman & Joe Apaloo"
"Dear Debbie, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Jack. He was a kind and gentle man who will be missed. You are in my thoughts."
"Jack Morrow was a great man. A wonderful intellect, a great soul of matchless courage, one of the great men of the earth. He was an exceptional and gifted human being. You will be in our heart in the rest of life. We want to pay tribute to Jack Morrow ourselves. In good times and bad, he never lost his capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with his warmth and kindness. Your memories will be etched forever. No words to describe how much you will be missed."
"We were shocked and saddened to hear Jack's untimely demise. We know him as a soft spoken gentleman and very thoughtful to Debbie. How he misses Debbie when she is not around him.
We know the family is in pain with his sudden passing away and we share their grief especially with Debbie, David, Carey and the rest of the family. He would always be remembered and he is in our prayers.
May he rest in peace."
"So sorry Debbie. Like and love you guys a lot. Jack was always respected,pleasant generous,enjoyed a laugh and most of all a good i friend.
Jack and garry played a lot of cards together whether it be crib or poker,mostly the latter. They enjoyed a few jets games together and in earlier years curled a season together. If we can help deb,let us know
Take. Care. Love Garry & Audrey"
"I worked for Jack and Debbie for about 4 years and although I didn't work for or with Jack very often, I remember Jack as being very easy to work for and with. I also remember Jack as a good neighbor, always willing to help whenever I asked. As a golfer I remember Jack hitting the ball far longer and straighter than I although I put that down to better equipment! Jack was about 7 years older than me so need some sort of excuse! You will be missed."
"our dear friend Debbie, we were so sad to hear of Jacks passing. we will so miss Jack and kitty catter grey.all the pics are beauiful. we will keep feeding Jacks humming birds this summer. god bless you . love always Ron and Marlene"
"Dear Debbie, So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jack loved Mr. Gray.. spending time with him in the mornings, he loved feeding those humming birds in the summer, leaving trails of sugar water out of the house.. and most of all, tending his roses in front of the house. Take care."
"RIP Jack....Hi Debbie...I am so sorry....I still remember your visit to India in 2009...you were the best couple I ever met....jack was fantastic and cool.....u take care and be strong as always......god bless..."
"I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family, Debbie."
"Dear Jack,
Your memories will be etched forever. No words to describe how much you will be missed."
"Jack was a very dear friend to us and he will be missed. Cory and I often talk about our fishing dates with you and Jack and I promise Debbie you WILL catch your first fish!! Lol Great memories! Debbie I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care my friend. Looking forward to seeing you when you get home. Your always in my heart and thoughts. Love Cory and Bobbi"

Life during The Raj can be full of perils for an English girl, even one raised in India with a parasol in one hand and a rifle in the other. Bunny Spencer's father sends her to London, but the moment she reaches British shores, a nightmarish beast attacks from the shadows. Now stranded in an unfamiliar land with her companion, Anju, she fears for their lives - until she meets a dashing stranger in pilot goggles.
Jim Penderry is a reporter. He's also a monster hunting enthusiast with a passion for fine dining and a good mystery - not necessarily in that order. When a werewolf appears in London, Jim is determined to catch it. Or at the very least, find out why the creature is stalking Miss Bunny Spencer. With the help of the journalists at Penderry's Bizarre magazine, he chases the menace from the foggy streets of London to the colourful bazaars of Bombay. But nothing prepares Jim and Bunny for the secret they're about to uncover. Or the danger afoot.
Mystery, monsters and science collide in this rip-roaring tale of adventure, romance and smoked eel.

Insider's NFL and draft experts -- Todd McShay, Mel Kiper, Chris Sprow and Field Yates -- have teamed up to give a full breakdown of all that should be considered for each team as it enters the 2013 NFL draft. Here we look at the Cincinnati Bengals.
Personnel needs
S, LB, RB, WR depth
Major need: Chris Crocker is a free agent and the Bengals will be looking to upgrade the strong safety position to play alongside Reggie Nelson. The team has done well to construct a productive cornerback group with both depth and experience but the Bengals will need to solidify the safety spot to enhance the secondary. Re-signing Rey Maualuga to a two-year deal puts the need for a middle linebacker on the back burner, for now. Adding veteran James Harrison won't alleviate the need for OLB help though.

- 3 Lbs of Chicken Wings
- 1 Cup White Flour
- 1 Tbs Kosher Salt
- 1 Tbs Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Cup Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 4 Tbs Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tbs Dried Oregano
- 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Place chicken wings in the bowl and toss in the flour until the wings are well coated. Place the wings on two large baking sheets and bake in the oven until crisp and well done, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. About 20 minutes before the wings are finished cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter then add the hot sauce and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and heat to a low boil and bring to a low boil, stirring frequently. Simmer for 10 more minutes then remove from heat. When wings are done (MAKE SURE THEY'RE CRISPY), remove from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and mix well. Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.

Jack Daniel's Stage
Eight piece brass sensation, The Soul Rebels are riding high in 2016 after recently touring four continents including Europe and Australia, debuting in China and Japan, selling out shows across America and collaborating live with artists spanning Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Marilyn Manson, Joey Bada$$, Talib Kweli, Slick Rick, Big Freedia, Robert Glasper, Lettuce, Vulfpeck, Umphrey's McGee, Kool & The Gang, Rakim, The String Cheese Incident, Black Thought of The Roots, Pharoahe Monch and opening for Bruno Mars.
The Soul Rebels first started with an idea – to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in the party like atmosphere of a dance club. They can often be seen jamming alongside groups including Metallica and Green Day. When not touring, The Soul Rebels' weekly show at New Orleans' Le Bon Temps Roulé is known to erupt with the kind of contagious, shout-along musical mayhem that The Rebels bring with them wherever they perform.
The band continues to chart new territory as they combine topnotch musicianship and songs with grooves that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.

LEICESTER CITY have released two players on loan for the rest of the season - with Jordan Stewart moving to Bristol Rovers and Stuart Wilson transferring to Sheffield United.
22-year old Stuart Wilson will move to Yorkshire to try to gain some valuable first-team experience - although he has forced his way into the Leicester first team on two occasions.
Jordan Stewart has also played twice for the Foxes, and will porbably serve as cover in the Bristol Rover`s side. Rovers have also loaned Dutch goalkeeper Michel Kuipers to Third Division Chester, after the player has failed to break into the first team - appearing just once since his free transfer in December.

An eco-village in India, at the turn of the local traditions and the new eco-friendly philosophy
Siddharth Village was established in 1986. The center of the community is located 25 km from Bhubaneswar, the capital of the region of Orissa in eastern India. 14 people living there, often surrounded by volunteers who stay for short or long periods .
Over the years, the headquarters were born elsewhere across India. Thanks to the industriousness of its founders, today Siddharth village is connected to a network of 200,000 people living in traditional villages. Ecovillage is to disseminate sustainable agricultural practices such as permaculture, career paths and personal inner transformation and tools for a peaceful social coexistence based on the integration of traditional reference values and ecological innovations. The eco-village holds its economy on ecotourism which allows them to spread their skills free of charge to the villages participating to the network and to support a process that deals with gender issues and women's empowerment .
We asked him to tell Martina Cordelia, one of our reader, his experience: he visited last February / March Siddharth Village during the course Ecovillage Design Education – EDE ( training in the design of eco-villages ) , promoted and supported by the Global Ecovillage Network – January and Gaia Education .
'Participating all' Ecovillage Design Education, it was nothing short of an unforgettable experience.
John will be unforgettable, the founder of Siddharth Village, trainer of the course. Not only is a very good teacher, John is so many other things, is a rich person's skills and humanity. It leads two companies that are primarily active in training for conflict resolution and sustainability. Supports 54 Samaj (Indian tribal villages) offering the EDE free for participants to bring the principles and apply them in their villages, resulting in greater self-sufficiency. John helps Samaj to get funds from the government, to preserve the indigenous seeds, to reject GMOs; It helps women to unite in organizations and fight for their emancipation. A witness to the goodness with which John brings forward these projects there Karmi, his right arm, a woman from a village in the tribal region of Odisha who took care of us students during the month of EDE. A wonderful person, always smiling, helpful, fighter, determined. He made us feel right at home … without ever demonstrating a wire fatigue. It 'was, as it were, our "mother" for a month. Karmi has followed several years ago in the EDE Siddharth Village and is now a spokeswoman, or the official representative of the village. The hospitality, care and love with which they welcomed us was unique and it was very interesting to see these people so serene in its own role, in their tasks, as John who led the entire month of course without losing a smile. "
The EDE modules
"The EDE is a course that takes place in four modules, in English : ecology , economy , and social worldview. Touching these aspects that are part of the life of individuals and society, the course provides a wide range of applications of the topics learned and is filled with materials , ideas and tools that have been developed and tested in eco-villages and urban communities in transition . Telling each part of the course would be impossible here but I want to tell you about the moments that I have not only affected by more but also left a mark in my path of growth.
Rama, John's wife, has a huge sensitivity and perhaps that is couselor and works with autistic children. Led module worldview (worldview) the first week. This is perhaps the most " spiritual " and introspective of the course. And here that I realized how important it is to look inward: to understand who I am and where I'm going to allow a better relationship and fluid with the entire community. We did exercises introspective very intense but Rama has always kept in mind the needs of all : those who wanted to go deeper , those who needed a little 'rest and lightness, who needed a serious advice to surpass resistance and blocks. A job that has "moved " many things within us but Rama was good not to unbalance the balance of the group.
The module of ecology concretely consisted in applying the principles of Permaculture for a week. Our teacher was Pradyut, an Indian permaculturalist convinced that this discipline can solve the problems of malnutrition, hunger and poverty ( which, unfortunately, there is no shortage in India ) . Only with him I learned the true usefulness of Permaculture .
While the form of economy we had the opportunity to spend two days in a tribal village Odisha, eating, sleeping and sharing daily life with the locals. Pristine lands, children who have never seen the city and that they will not even go there.
And now I'm back in Italy and I feel that there Siddharth Village many things have happened within me; are changed, I am more aware . The relationship with my family and friends have improved, the things that I want to materialize and I listen a lot more. The course has triggered a positive change in me that is affecting my whole life. What say? Strong emotions. An exceptional team. I miss a lot of the guys Siddharth village and can not wait to return next February "

What Jess Everyone Wore
Usually this is "What Jess Wore", but we only saw Jess in two outfits this week, and Zombie Woody Allen barely counts. Jess finds herself falling in like with Sam when she learns he's a pediatrician (!) and the kids love him (!!). She invites him to a Halloween festival where she's working the haunted house, and hey – the whole gang's here, including 1) Nick and his college crush Amelia, who perhaps is not his dream girl after all, 2) Winston and Shelia, whose relationship doesn't make it out alive, and 3) Schmidt/Cece/Robbie, who come to an understanding. Maybe? Geez, no wonder Jess dressed up as a neurotic zombie.
So the obvious "outfit of the week" nod goes to the adorable sweater Jess wore while dropping off her man friend's forgotten wallet.
Love the sweater, love the skinny jeans, love the flats. Cute, casual and perfect for discovering that the dude you've been, er, "spending your evenings with" cures sick kids from 9-5.
Sidenote: Jess's lipstick complemented the sweater without being too matchy-matchy. Well done, friend.
Well, that was fun. Now let's take a look at Jess's outfit for the haunted house. Anyone seeing Zombie Hobo as opposed to Zombie Woody Allen?
I think the obvious joke here was "Hannah Eats Her Sisters". Right? Right. Anyway, the costume is a dud because Jess didn't look pretty or scary. You've gotta commit when Halloween is on the line.
Lest you think I'm being unfairly harsh on Jess, the others didn't do much better. Here are Cece, her boyfriend Robbie, and Schmidt, aka Angel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Young Abraham Lincoln.
How is Cece an angel? Is she even wearing wings? I don't see a halo. I didn't think it was possible, but she's managed to look even less like an angel than a Victoria's Secret model. Schmidt's Abe Lincoln getup just got mistaken for the groom to Cece's bride, and Robbie…well, the glasses really took away from the costume.
Eventually, Schmidt allowed Robbie to take the "groom" costume and he went with a backup option – Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike.
Oh dear. I can't unsee that.
Winston and Shelby had the worst Halloween of anyone, since their costumes were so bad that they actually broke up. I mean, a cop, Winston? Really? That is not a sexy costume for a man. And why make us look at that awful fake moustache the day before we begin a month of terrible real moustaches?
Happy Movember!
Shelby's costume was supposed to be clever, but I dunno, punny costumes are risky territory. At any rate, it's definitely not sexy.
Reigning cats and dogs. Get it? Laughing? I'm guessing your answers are a) yes and b) no.
You can be clever without stapling stuffed animals to yourself, Shelby. Just look at Nick:
Bea Arthur! Took me a minute, but that is a pun I can live with.
And in case you were wondering, this image? Not a Halloween costume.
That's just Nick Miller circa The College years. He's come a long way, baby.

Artwork submitted by CSB/SJU student artists. To have your work featured in the paper, please email a photo of the piece and a 100-200 word statement about your art to The Record at [email protected]

CSB Junior
Art Major, English Major
This painting is titled Before the Execution. The painting is of a lilac bush I photographed a few months before it was scheduled to be destroyed.
My work is mainly drawing, painting and photography. Recently, I have been dismantling books from the thrift store and making paintings on the torn-out pages. I have been working on making artwork that combines different pages of these into larger artworks. In my paintings, I am currently exploring the combination between infocus and blurry parts of an image. I like how the background of a photograph becomes dotted when the camera focuses on close-up objects. I often find the dots to be mysterious, becoming more interesting than the subject in the foreground.
One of my most common subjects is peonies, which I enjoy painting because of their exuberant petals seems to be bursting with life and energy. Much of my work aims to highlight the fantasy of nature, challenging our view of what nature means to us, and hopefully encouraging the viewer to preserve the beautiful natural world that we are quickly depleting.
Cathy Nguyen
CSB First-year
Art Education Major
My name is Cathy Nguyen, and I'm a first year from Stafford, Virginia. I am majoring in Art Education to become an elementary school art teacher. I didn't realize I wanted to pursue a career in the art field, until I created this hand sculpture. The artwork is from a project I did during my senior year in high school. I crossed my fingers and wrapped my hand in plaster gauze. Then, I covered my hand with the paint.
The painting was inspired by Leonid Afremov who uses bright colors in his oil paintings. He likes to layer various colors and embrace the brushstrokes he makes which is why I like his work. I chose a path lined with street lamps because it looks like a bright path to the future. The fingers on the hand are crossed for luck, so the entire piece symbolizes luck for the future.
Sara Laufers
CSB First-year
Undecided Major
My experience with art in the past is numerous and rewarding. Through my drawings, I wish to inspire people around me. People's surprised responses encourage me to continue my love of art. Animation and speed-drawing videos also inspire me to draw. I have studied art at the Art Academy in St. Paul Minnesota where I learned to draw with ink and paint. In addition, I have made artwork using stained glass. Now, I am teaching myself how to create artwork on the computer through a tablet.
This pencil drawing is one of my recent artworks. It was inspired through the quote "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" (by the Greek Philosopher, Plato). My interpretation of this quote is that everyone has their own perception of what defines beauty. Thus, whether an artwork is good or bad, the feelings, passions how the artists create their work are the most important aspects of art.

I've always been a fan of simple wood bead necklaces. They seem to go with any outfit – whether casual or a little dressy – and they always provide that bit of 'boho' vibe that I adore. So today, I thought I'd share this simple bead necklace. It is easy to create and, best of all, uses up some of that extra nail polish that always seems to accumulate! While not a typical craft you see on this blog, after sharing it over at the lovely lifestyle blog, Pastels and Macarons, I thought you all might enjoy it, too! This project takes about 1 hour to complete and is a great craft to do on your own, with the kiddos or with your crafty friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Let's get started!
- Wood beads
- Nail polish
- 1mm width cotton or silk beading cord
- Two 1/4″ compression sleeves (the small, copper tubes just to the right of the beads above)
- Skewer
- Washi tape
- Toothpick (not pictured)
- Glue (E6000 is a great choice for jewelry crafts)
- Scissors
- Two sets of pliers (round nose and flat nose)
- Jewelry findings:
- Two 1mm jump rings
- Two end caps to fit 1mm beading cord
- One 'lobster claw' clasp
Step 1: Paint Beads
The simplest way to paint these beads is by taking a skewer and sliding each wood bead through. Wrap tape between each bead to keep them in place.
Taking the nail polish, begin painting each bead. Start with a layer of white before applying the other colours. Wood absorbs quite a bit so it's a good idea to apply a base coat first. (If you don't have white, then be prepared to paint on a few coats of your coloured nail polish).
Let dry.
Once the white coat has dried, apply your colours. I chose soft pastels and whites. Apply two coats. Let dry between applications. Remove the washi tape.
Step 2: Prepare Necklace
First, cut your beading cord to the desired length. Slide the painted beads through. I added copper embellishments that were actually 1/4″ compression sleeves that I picked up at our local hardware store. Place one at either end of the string of beads.
To prepare the closure of the necklace, pick up one end of the cord and one end cap. (End caps are used to cover the tips of any soft stringing materials used in necklace or bracelet crafts).
Add a bit of glue inside the end cap using a toothpick.
Slide the cord into the end cap.
Repeat these steps on the other end of your cord, attaching the second end cap the same way. Let dry.
Next, using pliers, open each of the two jump rings. [Jump rings are used to attach or connect one element (like a chain or end cap) to another (like a clasp)].
Tip: A jump ring is made of wire shaped into a circle that is soldered shut at the two points that close the circle. To open it find the point at which the two ends meet. Gently open sideways making sure that the ring retains it's 'c' shape. If you pry open a jump ring any other way, it may be difficult to retain its circular shape once you close it up again.
Slide each opened jump ring through the loops at the top end of each end cap.
Close up one of the two jump rings.
Next, attach the lobster claw clasp to the jump ring that is still open.
Close up the second jump ring.
And that's it! Now you have a unique and pretty wood bead necklace to wear!
If you are looking for a chic and pretty necklace idea, I hope you give this one a try. With this handmade piece, there are so many possibilities to personalize it with your choice of colours and embellishments. And once you're done, you'll have a unique, handmade necklace to add to any outfit.
Happy crafting 🙂
