The Cincinnati Bearcats squeaked by the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 70-66 yesterday. It was an ugly game after UC was mentally and physically drained from the festivities of Senior Nights on Thursday. But a win is a win and this one yielded them something the Bearcats hadn't earned since the 2004-05 season, a conference championship. Cincinnati made history earning the AAC's first regular season title. But it was a championship that was to be shared.
Two hours after UC notched their victory, Louisville was wrapping up a pantsing of the UConn Huskies 81-48 and earning an AAC trophy of their own. It allowed them to share in Cincinnati's celebration due to identical 15-3 conference records. Then the seeding in the AAC tournament came into play.
Cincinnati and Louisville split their regular season series. Then tiebreaker rules force both teams to look at their records against the third place team. Making matters more complicated, Memphis, UConn, and SMU all tied for third place. The Bearcats and Cardinals posted identical 4-2 records against these teams, bringing the determinant of the #1 seed in the conference tournament down to a coin toss. Yes, months of blood, sweat, and tears poured by both UC and UL would come down to the flip of a coin. It really was a fitting scenario for this bass ackwards conference.
But yesterday the Bearcats won it and are the #1 seed in the AAC tournament. Cincinnati will play the winner of UCF and Temple on Thursday March 13th at 7 pm EST. If they win that game, UC will move on to play the winner of Memphis and UConn on Friday March 14th at 9 pm. Finally, the winner of that one will play in the conference finals on Saturday March 15th at 6 pm. All games will be played at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.
The full AAC tournament schedule is below:
Wednesday, March 12th
- 7 pm: #10 USF v. #7 Rutgers
- 9:30 pm: #9 UCF v. #8 Temple
Thursday, March 13th
- 1 pm: #6 Houston v. #3 SMU
- 3 pm: #2 Louisville v. USF/Rutgers
- 7 pm: #1 Cincinnati v. UCF/Temple
- 9 pm: #5 Memphis v. #3 UConn
Friday, March 14th (Semifinals)
- 7 pm: Winners of the 1 pm and 3 pm games
- 9 pm: Winners of the 7 pm and 9 pm games
Saturday, March 15th
- 6 pm: Semifinal winners

If anyone in the Austin area is interested in adopting a very cute and very affectionate puppy PLEASE message me. I'm moving out in a few weeks and can't take him with me and my mom refuses to take care of him and is threatening to take him to the pound.
This lil pup responds to the name "chester" as well as "lil nugget" and loves to give kisses. He isn't neutered, was covered in fleas and was severely underweight when I found him on the side of the road last week.
Brimfield PD (Ohio) - This is the new puppy at training today….we don't think the bullet proof vest fits….just yet
Cops need to fuck off with this K-9 shit.
Dogs are awesome and sweet, stop turning them into tools of oppression and subjugation.
And especially stop using cruelty and abuse* to do it.
*Often called "training" in the industry.
One of the vet's offices I worked for was the go-to animal clinic for police dogs in the city where I used to live. Every, single one of those dogs was completely out of control and prone to attacking both humans and pets. Their "training" (which we saw examples of multiple times… it often consisted of slapping the dog or "dominance" bullshit) apparently didn't include an off switch.
In the 3 years I worked for that particular clinic, we had at least 6 fights between K-9 police and other animals and 2 bites because their handlers insisted they had them under control. After the second (serious) bite, we had to require all K-9 officers to be muzzled upon entering the clinic.
There were at least 2 handlers who actively encouraged their dogs to bark at the cats boarding there through the glass to the cat room. I had to ask one of them 4 times to stop, and he told me he was "just letting the dog have a little fun" and that "it won't hurt the fucking cats," before pouting like a child in the waiting room.
Fuck. All. Cops.
These dogs are a mess from start to finish. They're intentionally bred to be over-the-top and out of control (people like to call it "drive" but a biological drive is different from being constantly over the stimulus threshold all the time). The training makes it even worse, and what you end up with is a majority of K-9 and military dogs that are completely untrustworthy time bombs.
What makes it almost worse is the department we worked with imported GSD/malinois mixes for 20,000 dollars plus per dog. Then, if that dog didn't "pass" their abusive, nasty training course, they—get this—gave them away to local families for "protection."
Talk about time bombs. Shit's unimaginably irresponsible.

Boxer pig pile on the hammock. My dogs are so spoiled. #boxers #summer
Can we take a moment to appreciate my adorable dog? 😍
So here's my dog, Lani. She insists on laying on the smaller bed she's outgrown, instead of the gigantic one that takes up most of the floor. Yup…. #goldenretriever #idontunderstand #adorable
I whole heartedly believe that my dog Mr. Bojangles is the dog equivalent to tarter sauce (aka grumpy cat)
My puppy got a hair cut
My dog is rad
pt. 1: he's too scared to cross the bridge
pt. 2: he crossed the bridge
Just for the record, my dog is a total dork

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Maryland's treasurer says Standard & Poor's Ratings Services isn't downgrading the state's triple-A credit rating.
The treasurer's office said Tuesday that an analyst at the rating agency has said it is not taking action on Maryland's top rating. That's after the rating agency downgraded the federal government's rating to AA-plus late last week.
Treasurer Nancy Kopp noted that there was very strong investor demand for Maryland's general obligation bonds in a bond sale late last month. She says the true interest cost on the bond sale was among the lowest since 1988.
Gov. Martin O'Malley tells MSNBC that rating will enable the state to better invest in roads, create jobs building new schools and make investments in infrastructure that a triple-A bond rating is designed to support.

Statistics indicate that more people today are affected and afflicted by the endemic drug and substance abuse problem. Drug rehab statistics provided by a national survey on drug use indicates there are over 23.5 million persons across the USA need treatment for drug and substance abuse. This was in 2009 and the figures are expected to grow significantly over the years. However, only about 11.2 percent of those who need treatment actually receive it.
It is very important to secure proper treatment for drug addiction. Drug, alcohol and substance abuse are chronic social problems affecting large sections of the society. Only a small number of patients get to receive the treatment they need in state sponsored and private institutions. One of the reasons for this is that there are far too many addicted persons with only a limited number of institutions providing treatment. Another reason is that the cost of treatment is very prohibitive. Many addicts and affected families usually do not seek treatment due to the high and prohibitive cost of treatment.
However, there are a number of drug rehab centers across most major cities and in all states. It is possible to come across a reputable institution offering quality drug rehab treatment. A good facility is one that offers treatment to patients suffering various drug and substance abuse problems. Such a facility is usually found in a peaceful location on vast grounds with lush green lawns, trees flowers and a serene environment conducive for treatment, therapy and rehabilitation. Such a facility should be properly staffed by experienced medical doctors, drug rehab specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, orderlies and all other experts in need of proper treatment for drug addiction and substance abuse.
To find a suitable drug rehabilitation facility, a patient diagnosed with a particular addiction or substance related problem should seek a recommendation from their doctor. Many doctors know of one or two centers offering quality drug rehabilitation services. It is also possible to check with the local department of health services as well as searching for federal and state institutions. The government and private institutions always provide drug rehab statistics to indicate the extent of the problem as well as the effectiveness of treatment and solutions such as prescription drug rehab programs. Drug rehab centers are very important facilities in any community. They provide drug rehab treatment to family members and community members in need. It is important to seek treatment for a loved one at a recognized institution. Treatment, rehabilitation, medication and therapy are essential for an all round, healthy individual.

An organization opposed to surveillance by the National Security Agency has been approved to "adopt" the section of highway running past the Utah Data Center, a move that would place the group's protest-oriented name on signs outside the spy building.
Restore The Fourth-Utah would also be responsible for picking up litter on the 2-mile stretch of Redwood Road that includes the main entrance to the Utah Data Center and Camp Williams.
Lorina Potter, a representative of Restore The Fourth-Utah, said she sent a signed agreement to the Utah Department of Transportation on Tuesday. Potter is waiting for a signature from a UDOT representative or other final confirmation from UDOT.
UDOT spokesman John Gleason said the group has been approved and the final paperwork will be completed within days. Gleason said UDOT will probably erect one sign in each direction with Restore The Fourth-Utah's name within a few weeks.
The name Restore The Fourth-Utah references the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing the right to be secure from unreasonable search and seizure.
Potter said the group plans to carry picket signs as it picks up litter.
Adopting the road "brings light to the fact we are fighting for Fourth Amendment rights for all people," Potter said.
When asked for comment, NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines replied in an email: "Highway adoptions are not a part of NSA's federal mission."
Gleason didn't know whether UDOT consulted with the NSA.
"As long as [Restore The Fourth-Utah is] following safety protocol," Gleason said, "we're happy there are people applying to keep litter off the roads out there."
The agreement calls for Restore The Fourth-Utah to pick up garbage at least three times a year. UDOT would provide trash bags, orange vests and a sign representing the group that has adopted the highway. Redwood Road is also known as State Road 68.
Restore The Fourth started earlier this year in cities and states across the United States. The group maintains the NSA has illegally spied on Americans without warrants .
The group held protests on July 4. The Utah chapter started its protest on Redwood Road outside the data center, but Utah Highway Patrol troopers told them they were on NSA property. The protesters moved to the Utah Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Park in Bluffdale.
Potter said she doesn't object to the NSA's existence, but wants the agency to use public courts to apply for warrants to obtain records on specific individuals rather than using the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to obtain bulk data. "This is a daily invasion [of privacy]," Potter said. "This isn't something that has gone away."

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor star in this comedy from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (creators of Bad Santa).
Steven Russell (Carrey) is seemingly the ultimate family man: he plays the organ at church, celebrates good news with a nice glass of healthy milk and prays nightly beside his blonde, blue-eyed wife. However, after being involved in a car accident, he's given reason to reassess his life; he admits that he is gay, and enthusiastically embraces what he imagines is the epitome of a gay lifestyle.
But his new lifestyle is expensive and he ends up in jail for fraud. There he meets the sensitive Phillip Morris (McGregor), who he's determined to free from prison - through a series of inventive cons - so that they can secure a future together.
McGregor provides the heart of the film, while Carrey turns in a compelling and poignant performance.
It's perhaps surprising that this funny and original film is based on a true story. Ficarra and Requa have been in a relationship for more than 20 years, which could explain why the comedy feels more about a man in love, rather than a tale revolving entirely around his sexuality.
(2009) Cert: 15

Ex-veteran Eli Morgan has returned from the war to find his family and his old life broken. He rescues the three women and shelters them in his home. Soon Hallie and Eli fall in love, and they're quickly tested by a monstrous thug and a friend's betrayal. (Grand Central, Nov., 355

Current QB says 'it's been too long' Brad Biggs
Aaron Rodgers is hopeful the final steps to a reconciliation between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers happens in the near future before the retired quarterback is elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"It's been too long," Rodgers said during a visit on The Jim Rome Show, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I think our country and the state of Wisconsin, these people are people of second, third and fourth chances, and I think it's time to let the healing process begin for those who are still upset about what went down.
"I was totally OK with being out front of that, and I'm very secure of the things I've been able to accomplish with the team and individually here in Green Bay, and excited about the chance to see him again and get his number retired here before he goes into Canton."
Packers president Mark Murphy has been very forthcoming about his desire to honor Favre at Lambeau Field. Nothing is known to be in the works but perhaps it is not too far off.

NFL fans in Buffalo and Cleveland have suffered a long string of bleak winters lately, with no hope of the playoffs and little of the media attention enjoyed by teams like the New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys.
For the Buffalo Bills, that last part was about to change, with a big-budget Hollywood movie starring Kevin Costner set to feature the team as it prepares for a fictional NFL draft. But cheaper production costs in Ohio led the producers of "Draft Day" to exchange the Bills for the Cleveland Browns, according to the Buffalo News.
"At the end of the day, it was a money thing," said the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission's Tim Clark. "I think Mr. [director Ivan] Reitman really wanted to shoot here, but it just came down to the cost factor.
"I feel the worse for the Buffalo Bills, because they worked real hard to convince the film company that Buffalo was the place to shoot this, and that Buffalo was America's team."
The newspaper said a lobbying effort by New York state officials fell short, and cited a source in reporting that producers would save about $3 million by moving the film from New York to Ohio.
The NFL still must give its approval to the project.
Costner starred in the baseball films "Bull Durham" and "Field of Dreams," while Reitman helmed the blockbusters "Meatballs," "Stripes" and "Ghostbusters."
The report said Costner would portray a fictional NFL general manager. Nevertheless, the Browns' Mike Lombardi might want to clear his weekend for next year's Oscars. Photo:Cleveland Browns.com

Gustaf IV A. / King Portraits in Oils by Katja Turnsek
Portrait Painting Commission Info
I created this oil portrait on Italian Linen canvas, professionally stretched. The painting of former Swedish King Gustaf IV A. was commissioned as a gift for a special society here in Gothenburg by Peter. He decided to have the oil portrait framed by my local framer and wholesaler.
Naturally we wanted something traditional, or old fashioned, so we chose a wonderful gold moulding, perfectly suitable for this kind of oil portraits. Peter come to collect the painting in my Studio, so unfortunately I don't have a written testimonial from him.
Painting Information
Medium: Oil on Linen Canvas
Size: 60 x 45 cm
Year Painted: 2012
Subject: King Gustaf IV A.
Commissioned by: Peter Larsson, Sweden
The Reference Photograph
Peter gave me a really old framed photograph of the subject. The paper was already yellow, so I scanned and edited the colours as much as I could to make them look fresh and new. I rather do as much as I can with the photos before I start to paint, this way I don't have to think about hundred different things while I paint. No special mock-up was needed for this oil portrait.
Portrait in Progress
Below you can view a few work in progress photos of this portrait. It is important for me that you understand the painting process at the same as you have a full input the entire time, that is why I'm prepared to spend some extra time in order to keep you regularly updated. I have had this feature for many years, even though I uploaded the progress images to a static html page at first. Now I use my portraits in blog for this exciting feature. If you do not wish to share your painting's progress or the completed painting with the world, I can send you the progress images by email. Several clients decided to do this, especially famous ones.

What Can We Learn From HealthCare.gov?
HealthCare.gov is not unlike any other website – visitors expect it to just work. The problem is, when HealthCare.gov launched, it didn't work. It was slow. It crashed. Users couldn't get through the process. Simply put: it failed.

More Transparency Helps Get HealthCare.gov On The Road To Recovery
At Rackspace, one of our core values is full disclosure and transparency. It's not an easy value to practice when data centers go down and other things go wrong. But we've learned over the years that it always speeds our learning and our recovery. That's why I was pleased to see transparency in action early this week in Washington, D.C. I was invited to the White House to get an inside look at the workings of HealthCare.gov and share ideas with our nation's top tech staff, including Todd Park, CTO of the U.S.; Steven VanRoekel, CIO of the US; and Jeff Zients, who has been tapped to fix HealthCare.gov after its troubled start.

SQP Simple Quality Protects scheme
Want to prove that your organisation or group is a 'safe' organisation to work with children or young people? Want to be 'contract ready' and in a position to go for more funding and grants?
We can support your group to go through a Quality Assurance scheme specific to Brighton & Hove called Simple Quality Protects (SQP) – it is simple, easy to follow and is supported every step of the way by our Development Officer, Lisa Matthew. You can work towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold award for your organisation's safeguarding practices and policies & procedures. Where there are gaps Lisa can support you to develop good, working policies so that you can build a solid, high standard portfolio to use for building your activities, winning commissions and contracts and being eligible for funding.

For the next Getting Started Bronze workshop contact email@example.com for further information or call 01273 420973
"The SQP programme has been a very useful tool to aid us in improving our standards and streamlining our projects. Running a project is clearly about the people we serve and all our work and effort can, quite rightly, go into the helping our service users but good structure and organisation behind the scenes really matters and can make a huge difference to everyone" One Youth Brighton

- A better understanding of Risk Assessments
- Being able to show their safe practices to funders and partners

Family Values -- 2nd Edition (Frank Miller's Sin City #05)by Frank Miller
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Frank Miller's first-ever original graphic novel is one of Sin City's nastiest yarns to date! Starring fan-favorite characters Dwight and Miho, this newly redesigned edition sports a brand-new cover by Miller, some of his first comics art in years! There's a kind of debt you can't ever pay off, not entirely. And that's the kind of debt Dwight owes Gail. The girls of Old Town have their own family values, their own laws, and when someone too dumb to know better breaks them, an example needs to be set. Dwight's got his own reasons for taking the job, and deadly little Miho . . . Miho likes to play with them a little first. With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller's masterpiece!
Marking a departure for Miller from an entire career of serialized stories, this 128-page epic spilled out of him all at once... and you can't help but read it the same way! Family Values is a milestone among Miller's work, allowing him enough room to tell this classic story of grit and revenge exactly the way he wanted to. With deadly Miho running on roller-blades, Dwight running on adrenaline, and the Sin City mob on clean-up detail, this yarn from the Town Without Pity is not to be missed.

Kristen is SO cute in this interview! She talks about "hiding" behind fake glasses and Still Alice.

CANNES- France — In the opening scene of "The Clouds of Sils Maria", presented at the end of the 67th Cannes Festival last Friday, Kristen Stewart's character, Val, is clearly stressed-out. As the train snakes up the winding mountain route of the Swiss Alps, Val is juggling with her multiple jangling cell phones, cursing the bad connection, and trying to deal with the barrage of undesirable media, pestering directors and dramatic news that will dramatically change her entire schedule.
In the film, Stewart plays the part of a low-key bespectacled personal assistant to the glamorous Maria Enders, a fortyish famous actress, brilliantly portrayed by Juliette Binoche. It's Val's job to arrange every infinitesimal detail, from making sure that Maria is on time for her Chanel gown fittings to endlessly walking the actress through the lines of her script.
Highly praised for her subtle performance by the Cannes critics, Kristen Stewart says she's glad to have had a chance to explore the other side of fame, with all the ambivalence and fascination about celebrity culture that the part required.
"The reason this movie was made was not to make a statement about how superficial media can be, but it was a lot of fun for me to be the one to say it," says Stewart. "Obviously, I've had more experience with the media, so it makes it funnier."
"I don't a have a personal assistant right now," the actress says, "but I have had one in the past and I definitely understand the dynamic. The difference is that I never had such a co-dependent relationship."
Going on what Stewart has experienced "in real life", she says, there were moments during the shoot when the actress coached her co-star, Juliette Binoche, to make her performance more believable. "When we were getting out the car to walk up the red carpet, Juliette just like opened the door and started to get out. I said, 'what are you doing? A star would never do that!'"
At one point in film, Stewart's character, Val, hotly defends the hell-raising young starlet Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloe Grace Moretz), who is to play opposite Maria in her upcoming new role in the theater. Contrary to Jo-Ann's reckless tabloid-baiting bimbo image on you tube, Val tells Maria that she shouldn't judge the straight-out-of-rehab actress so harshly.
"She doesn't want to be swallowed up the Hollywood machine," Val says. How has Kristen Stewart managed to dodge some of the trappings of celebrity culture?
"When I take on a role," says Stewart, I really like to think, and I do not care what people think about them afterwards. I really want the experience. I think a lot of actors—not good ones—are just product oriented, as is the business."
"American movies are so packaged and delivered," she continues. "They think for you. Like the stories in the tabloids—they're so easily consumable. But that said, I love big American movies—they're my foundation, what I grew up on—and I still want to do them."
"Kristen is so powerful and has such a strong presence," says French director Olivier Assayas. "I wrote a part in this film hoping it would be remotely interesting for her. I honestly didn't think she would do it. I thought that the subject would be too touchy, but she liked the idea."
Stewart says that she was thrilled to accept a role in Assayas' film after such a long dry spell. "I didn't make a movie for a really long time because I didn't get offered anything that I liked. I didn't work for two years."
"I want to start directing," the actress adds. "It's still way down the line but I'm going to start dinking around and making shorts. You learn by making mistakes but that's definitely what I want to focus on next."

What motivated Kristen to take on the role?
"I think the fear that motivated me here was working with Juliette. And with Olivier as well. It's just such a different setting for an American actress. It's a very European feeling film. It thinks a lot, it doesn't package its ideas and deliver them to you. I think it takes its on ride and it's really complex and what scared me was hitting it perfectly and striking this balance and this was an opportunity to really make the point hit home. I play an assistant to an actress, I comment on the sort of potential for the media to be and it's very commonly incredibly superficial. It's not 'yeah, I'm being nice right now, but basically saying this is so silly and not in an interview, not to you right now, but in a film that really means something that it's a different thing. So that was definitely satisfying to say some of those lines to her and not scary, just really satisfying."
Why Olivier thought of Kristen for the part:
"I met her, it's really via my producer Charles Gillibert, he produced 'On the Road' and so I met Kristen through him in a completely, I mean I was not thinking about this film, I had not written it so it's. But I liked her very much. I thought that was something to her that was extraordinarily powerful and I thought that movies had not used half of it. So I thought that I saw someone who had done great things but had greater things to do."
Kristen thoughts on working on location in the Alps:
"Actually I must say when we were in St. Moritz, Sils Maria, like that's where we shot it, I did start to get a little bit of cabin fever. I kind of felt like Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining' for a minute there. It was like we were all living in this old stuffy hotel and it was just like and we were so obsessed with making this movie and every second of our lives was devoted to focussing on this movie that it becomes this isolated obsessive environment but it's amazing, that's what it should be. I'm into that. I really like intense bursts of like take these three months and think about nothing but this but it definitely got a little… I mean at a certain point I was like 'OK, we need to all relax a little bit.'"
Chloe on how the internet has changed things for actors:
"I think it's weird because like for me, what's weird for me is every time I go to a meeting I get asked, 'do you, are you on social media? And if you are how many followers do you have?' and I find that really weird because instead of being asked like 'oh what movies do you want to do? what do you want to approach?' they kind of ask what is your internet social standing which I find really annoying. It's become, as a young actor it's become as a whole part of your career that if you don't instagram your movies, that if you don't tweet your movies and stuff like that, they're not going to succeed kind of thing."

" Hooven Bog, Past, Present, and Future"
A rare but important win for rare habitat conservation
by Dr. Sarah Spear Cooke, wetland scientist and restoration ecologist
Sitting in the rapidly urbanizing landscape of south-central Snohomish County sits Hooven Bog. A 30+-acre sphagnum bog/fen/emergent wetland complex that is surrounded by mature forest for at least half its periphery. Atypical of most uniform bogs, this wonderful bog/wetland complex displays at least five distinct bog/fen vegetation communities with many bog endemic species.
Hooven remained relatively untouched until about 40 years ago when the first houses were built along the northern shore and a narrow gravel road was constructed along the western third of the emergent habitat. The last few years have been the most damaging to Hooven because the developer who owned it, and the mature forest along the southern shore, began expanding the old gravel road. This caused huge issues with the water chemistry and disturbed much of the understory of the mature forest.
In this program Dr. Cooke will take us on a tour of the bog's varied habitat types with photos from this summer's plant inventory. Along the way she will introduce the diverse flora of each habitat type, including the rare and bog-endemic species. She will also discuss weed removal activities to-date and plans for the future.
Dr. Cooke is a long time member of WNPS. She has particular interest in the wetland flora of the Pacific Northwest, which includes working with WNPS and Seattle Audubon in publishing The Field Guide to the Wetland Plants of Western Washington and Northwestern Oregon. She is currently preparing the 2nd edition of this guide.

CPS Holiday Potluck Party
Plant Identification Workshop
The Central Puget Sound Chapter offers regular plant identification workshops to help members improve plant ID skills. While the Workshop is oriented primarily toward beginners, anyone who wants to work on improving keying skills or their familiarity with the northwest flora is welcome. Our main objectives are practice with technical identification keys, familiarity with plant families, and recognition of common northwest species. No prior experience is necessary; the only requirements are interest in the topic, patience with beginners if you are an old hand, and patience with old hands if you are a beginner. If you have them, bring a hand lens and a copy of Hitchcock or another favorite plant book. You are encouraged to bring unknown plants for identification. We will have plenty of material and tools if you come empty handed. CPS botanists will be the instructors.

Pack Your Bags!!
I have been blessed to have had such an amazing summer this year. I spent two weeks on an adventure to Europe to travel with a friend who is based on the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. We travelled to different places in Germany, to Paris, and to Rome. It was an amazing experience and I encourage everyone to travel. It was a little nerve-wracking at first thinking we would be alone in our travels, and it did take a large toll on my bank account! (YIKES!!) But as I said earlier totally worth it!!
My favorite part of the trip was definitely Rome. I had always dreamed about visiting the Vatican City, the home of the Sisteen Chapel and St. Peter's church. I was not let down by the experience. Rome was absolutely beautiful. As I saw St. Peter's church in the distance I was so excited, and the closer we got the more excited I became! We had to stand in line to get through security for about an hour in the hot sun. When we finally reached the entrance to St. Peter's church we were first turned away because we were dressed for summer, and your shoulders and legs had to both be covered. But I managed to get in by borrowing a shirt.
It was absolutely breath taking. It was bigger than I expected and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I said a couple prayers and blessed myself with holy water. I felt absolutely wonderful being there and could truly feel God around me. I experienced as much as I can, but I did not get to see it all. I cannot wait to go back, and I definitely will return. (I threw a coin in the Trevi fountain, so I have to!) J
I encourage all to travel. It is always fun! Rome was amazing, being of Catholic faith or not. It is an amazing city, and I shall return. (Hopefully this summer to join Ali and Quincy on their pilgrimage on the Camino. ) :D
Katie and I in Paris.

Upcoming Events ~ Jerome
For one of our upcoming events, we will be looking at some of the different styles of churches. I feel that it is important for others, who are looking for a church, to find a church that they may feel comfortable in. Therefore, this night (October 9th), we will be looking at the different styles of churches of primarily Christian denomination. After which, we will have a discussion on what we liked or disliked about certain aspects of each church presented.
When I first saw a similar representation of the evening that we have planned, some aspects of churches seemed pretty neat. For example, some churches have huge recreational activities (i.e. sport courts, rock walls, theaters, etc.) and a lot of activities that members can become involved in. There seemed to be a strong sense of community developed by this church. However, I feel like parts of this style took away from the traditional approach of a mass/sermon and almost seemed to bribe people to come to their church.
I found this article online that I think helps illustrate some of the different draws/strengths of churches out there and some statistics about congregations within the United States. This article is from Hartford Institute for Religion Research: http://hirr.hartsem.edu/research/fastfacts/fast_facts.html#growyouth
I feel this article does a pretty good job of providing information about how congregations are doing to draw youth to certain faiths.
Hello's From Ali!
Hello everyone! Ali Here!
Hopefully the first few weeks of classes are going great for everyone. Getting back into the swing of things is always hard after a nice long summer break. BUT BCCM has some fun evenings coming up this month! We have some outside evenings scheduled and a dinner night planned at the Staggering Ox….and even a paint war hopefully coming up soon. J So stay tuned!
This coming week BCCM will be starting up our regular Wednesday nights at 7pm! We will either be having out meeting up at Zimmerman Park overlooking Billings on the rims for a "Connectivity" themed night with various activities and free food – everyone loves free food….especially college people ;). This will hopefully be where we plan to meet this week (rides will be provided!) depending on Montana's lovely weather. If the weather turns into a problem we will move our evening to either the Soup Place (downtown) to Staggering Ox for our night, when AGAIN free food.
BCCM isn't the only one having fun in town. September and October are both always fun months in Billings. I did just here that the STATE'S LARGEST CORN MAIZE just opened up here in Billings again for the autumn months. It's a great way to spend an evening with family and friends. They have pig races, pumpkin patches, apocalyptic paintball, hay mountain and hay rides. And when it gets closer to Halloween BCCM will be offering rides to and from the maze for their annual spook walk through the haunted corn maze!
(link to their website à http://www.themaize.com/sites.php?ID=&username=mtbillings)
Well I hope everyone's classes are going well and not too busy….yet. Haha. Just keep calm and carry on! See everyone this Wednesday! Have a great week!
Official Welcome Back From Your Peer Ministers!
Welcome to back to school officially everyone! We are so excited to be starting the year off with a great adventure! Before we get into the adventure why don't we take a moment to introduce ourselves:
Hello everyone! My name is Alicia Sapa, but I go by Ali :) I am a senior at Rocky Mountain College, majoring in environmental science and environmental studies. I am originally from Bayfield, Colorado. Many of my BCCM friends refer to me as the "hippie tree hugging Coloradan…" and I am proud of it ;) I plan on either going to graduate school in Alaska or Oregon after I graduate to study forestry…. Or just go straight into field biology right after graduation in May, we'll see where the wind takes me. I also work at Zoo Montana, so don't be afraid to say hello if you see me cleaning up some sort of poo in the exhibits! This is also my fourth year at being a peer minister for Billings Catholic Campus Ministry. I first started being involved with BCCM the first week of my freshman year. I accidentally stumbled into the BCCM office, started talking, and have been a part
of this wonderful organization ever since!
This organization has given me so many friends, memories, experiences and lessons. It has also helped me grow with and into my spiritual faith as a Catholic. BCCM holds some of the kindest, most caring people I have met in all my college years. The opportunities that come with being a part of BCCM are great!! Such as:
Group talks discussing various subjects of the Catholic faith and of other religions, various community service opportunities, trips and so many fun activities! I am looking forward to a great year with BCCM this semester and next! Let's get this ball rollin'!!!!
-Ali Sapa
My name is Jerome Rangitsch. I am in my fourth year at Rocky Mountain College. I am in the Master of Accountancy program while finishing an undergraduate degree in Business Management and a minor in Mathematics. I am from Roundup, MT. Most people would say that I am a quiet at first, but I am definitely not afraid to speak my mind productively in most settings. I would say that I a
m fairly outgoing. I enjoy time spent with family, playing sports, and hanging out with friends.
This will be my third year as a peer minister and I have been with BCCM since my freshman year. I have stuck with BCCM because it has provided a very welcoming environment where students can grow in their own faith along with fun activities. With this group, I have realized more through service what being a Catholic means and how to live the Catholic faith. I have learned a lot from BCCM and I would not take that back for anything. What I bring to the group is mainly structure/order and more behind the scenes stuff.
During this year, I hope that this group provides a comfortable and welcoming environment to all that choose to participate. Moreover, I am excited to meet new/old people who will be with BCCM. I look forward to seeing you at our weekly Wednesday night gatherings.
My name is Carmi Sievers. This will be my third year attending MSU Billings. I recently switched my major to nursing, and so far I am enjoying the classes. From a crazy adventure with my fellow peer ministers this summer I have decided that I will make a pretty good nurse, so I am planning to stick with that degree for now. :) I am from Wolf Point, Montana originally. I am very family oriented and love to have fun. I may be quiet at times, but once you get to know me, as Quincy says, I won't shut up. :) I'm also a great listener, so if you ever need a person to talk to I'm your gal. I decided to become a peer minister because I attended BCCM meetings all throughout my freshman year of college and loved it. The people were so inviting and we did really fun activities and I learned a little along the way. I've grown a lot because of this group, and it has been one of the best decisions I could have made for myself in college. My goal for this year is to meet a ton more people and get them interested in what we are doing in BCCM! I'd love to see a full group on our Wednesday night adventures.
We are a very welcoming group to all. It doesn't matter what you believe in. As long as you want to have a fun time and meet some great people give our meeting a try! Every Wednesday at 7pm. :) Hope to see you there!!
Last but not least my name is Quincy Linhart and I attend to Montana State University Billings and am a senior, YIKES GO YELLOWJACKETS! I have been part of Billings Catholic Campus Ministry for 4 years and have loved every minute of it. I quickly got more involved and dove in deep and took a trip to Mexico for spring break to work in a catholic orphan home and then spent the last part of the week working with the homeless in downtown San Diego. It was a life changing experience! I like to think that the plunge I took my freshman year was something that most positively shaped me into the person I am today! I am majoring in communication with a focus on public relations with a minor in philosophy and religion it's a big mouth full. I have grown up on a farm and ranch my entire life and love the nature (not as much as Ali though ;) but I LOVE photography. I love every minute of BCCM, the fact that I learn a lot about God when talking to others about their religion. The most amazing part of BCCM is you don't even have to be Catholic, Christen or anything to come. I am looking forward to this next year and seeing what kind of adventure we can all get into and the memories I get to make along the way! I love to TALK, go figure. Along with my other Peer Ministers we love to have fun and learn a little bit about our ever-growing faith. Finding God in your life is a constant and ever-changing thing, it never stops. Looking forward to a great year and meeting everyone!
So for our first official kick off this year we are heading to the Drive In at Laurel! This Saturday, September 14, we are meeting in front of Petro Hall for MSUB at 7:00 and at meet at The Bear on the Rocky Campus same time. BCCM is driving and buying your way in the show all you have to do is bring $2! Snack will be provided, so bring the blankets and camping chairs to watch the show! RSVP to the BCCM phone Call or text (406) 850-4488 or Email email@example.com No later than Friday, 13.
Have a great week and See you Saturday!!
Ali, Jerome, Carmi and Quincy

End of the Semester!
How many of you are shocked and stressed that this semester is over? Well, you are not alone. One thing that numerous peers have told me is that this is one of the most stressful times of the year. The weather outside is getting nicer and people just want a break to relax. Thus, it is difficult for most of us to get motivated to finish homework assignments, papers, and studying for exams. Many (including myself) may procrastinate quite a bit of these tasks and experience a lot of pressure/stress to complete these tasks by a certain deadline. With this added stress, some may not know how to effectively manage their stress. The link below provides a list of what you can do to help manage stress in your life:
For me personally, I strive to make sure that I don't add any more pressure than I normally do in my everyday life. One thing I do is give myself limitations on how late I will stay up studying/doing homework. I will not stay up past 2a.m. because I need to have some sort of rest in order to function for the exam or class lecture. Finding out which stress relief technique that works best for you will help you cope with and manage most stressful situations that are thrown upon you.
I hope that this blog has helped you find something that may work for you to manage the stress in your life.
Jerome Rangitsch
BCCM Peer Minister, RMC
Are You A Doubting Thomas?

Sometimes I wish I was a high tech person. Like a while back when I made dilly beans and took photos of the beans picked from my garden along with photos of the finished beans after canning. I still have the photo of the garden beans but the finished beans in jars photo has vanished and I don't know how to retrieve it from my camera. I can't take another photo because, well, the beans are all gone. The recipe makes 4 jars and were so good that we ate a jar and gave the other 3 away. But I promise you will love the beans, photo or not.
I was blown away by the huge response to Tom W.'s request for a 7-Up cake that was published years ago in the Enquirer. The stories alone made me chuckle, not to mention how good all the recipes looked. I will share both in an upcoming blog. Today I'm sharing 2 versions, one from scratch which Tom wanted and another using a cake mix. Some folks don't ice the cake; others do so I'm sharing icing recipes as well.
Rita's classic dilly beans
Friend and colleague Leah Ochs, director of Jungle Jims cooking school, has a similar recipe and substitutes sriracha sauce to taste for the pepper flakes.
2 generous pounds green beans, trimmed to fit canning
4 teaspoons dill seed or 4 large heads dill
4 small cloves garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided (optional)
2-1/2 cups clear vinegar
2-1/2 cups water
1/4 cup canning salt
Pack beans lengthwise into 4 hot pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. To each pint, add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 clove garlic and 1 teaspoon dill seeds. Bring vinegar, water and salt to a boil. Pour immediately over beans, leaving 1/4" head space. Remove air bubbles by sliding a butter knife around inside edges of jars. Wipe rims clean with damp cloth. Place seals and rings on. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. These are best eaten chilled.
Tip from Rita's kitchen:
If you don't want to can these, cap and seal, cool to room temperature and store in refrigertor up to 6 months.
7-Up cake from scratch
Here's Donna A.'s recipe from 30 years ago. Tom wanted a from scratch recipe so hopefully this will work.
1 -1/2 cups butter (softened)
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons lemon extract
3/4 cup 7-Up
Preheat oven to 325. Cream sugar and butter together and beat until light and fluffy (about 20 minutes with an electric beater). Add eggs, one at a time and beat well.
Add flour one cup at a time. Beat in lemon extract and 7 Up. Pour batter
into a well greased and floured jumbo fluted bundt pan. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
Simple lemon glaze
This is one I use for lemon pound cake. Just stir 2/3 cup confectioner's sugar with 1 tablespoon or so lemon juice.
Diane Byrne's 7-Up pound cake using cake mix
Diane, a Loveland reader, told me: "I got this from my mom several years ago. I've never made the glaze without the alcohol; I'm not sure what you'd substitute." Any suggestions?
1 package Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
1 box, 4 serving package instant lemon pudding (1 oz package)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup 7-Up
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine above ingredients and beat 2 minutes. Prepare a bundt pan (spray well), and pour mixture in. Bake 45 – 55 minutes.
Diane didn't say if she cooked the glaze, but I would assume the sugar has to melt, so I'd cook it over very low heat until sugar melts. Add bourbon last.
1/2 stick butter, melted
Scant 2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon (or whatever; rum is good too)
Stir in bourbon. Prick holes in cake and pour on glaze.
Doris Poore's 7-Up cake icing
Doris, a Kentucky reader, had a recipe using a cake mix and also had an interesting icing."The index card is all yellowed and stained. So, I know it's a good one", she said.
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup crushed pineapple (undrained)
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 stick margarine
1 cup coconut
Cook all ingredients (except coconut) until thick, add coconut and pour over hot cake. Top with pecans.

Poppy seed roll (makowiec)
So after months of excitement, preparation, Christmas shopping, Christmas cooking, Christmas is officially over. Thursday was my first day at work after the Christmas break. Christmas decorations were taken down and Christmas tree was left naked in the corner. It was quite a sad sight. I feel in between seasons now, we had winter, then Christmas, and now are we back into the winter time? Some of you probably still eat leftovers. I know I would if I didn't freeze some of them. I still have a few recipes that I didn't manage to post before Christmas, but they will be pretty handy next year, or even this year.
We spent New Year Eve with a few Italian friends and in Italy if you want to be wealthy in an upcoming year you should eat lentils and pomegranate. In Polish tradition poppy seed is doing the same for you, you should just eat it during Christmas Eve, but I think if you catch up in January it will still work.
Recipe adapted from Moje Wypieki
- 330g poppy seeds
- 112g light brown sugar
- 65g raisins or sultanas
- 33g walnuts, chopped
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1/3 candied orange zest
- 4 egg whites
- 30g fresh yeast or 14g instant yeast
- 320g plain flour + extra for sprinkling
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp strong alcohol like vodka or rum
- 3/4 tsp vanilla paste
- 4 egg yolks
- 120ml milk, lukewarm

wow we are on the same culinary wavelength! I baked a poppy bread too. Your poppy roll looks divine!
You're absolutely right about the day after Christmas being a bit anticlimactic after so much time preparing for the day, and then suddenly it's over? What?
Your poppy seed roll looks super delicious! :D
Ah… jak ten twoj makowiec wspaniale wyglada!!! Nawet ma skorke z pomaranczy! Podajesz wszystkie moje ulubione przepisy! Makowca jeszcze chyba nigdy nie robilam moze raz wiec zawsze zlecam innym. W tym roku moj znajomy piekl i nawet do wczoraj jeszcze mialam maly kawalek do kawy. Wiec mam nadzieje ze ten 2014 przyniesie me duzo "wealth:":) bo jadlam go prze caly tydzien albo i dluzej!
My Baba used to make this cake. Just looking at it brings fond memories back to me.

Small town, the American dream. A blue-collar family living the idyllic rural lifestyle. Nothing is out of place save for the lacking white picket fence - and the old JAIL that occupies the 2nd floor of their century-old home.
