Hawk Topics writer Chris
Raine (page 16) bashes Greys
Anatomy every week. But last
Thursdays episode had me
sighing with the characters.
Last weeks Greys was about
people.Friends. Best friends.
Count-them-as-family friends.
I have those.
Last week, as Jayplay was
about to go to print, we
realized we needed a photo of
a Big Mac. My vegetarian friend
Autumn braved the drive-thru
and delivered the sandwich.
Jackie, my sister, is the
count-them-as-family kind
of family. When photos fell
through for this weeks
Jayplay, she spent Monday
and Tuesday creating art that
we werent even sure we
would print. I needed her, and
she was there.
And my best friend (happy
birthday, Cam) bought me a
doughnut. He drove a crew
of drunk people to Joes
Bakery, and remembered that
blueberry cake doughnuts
always make me feel better.
It may seem like a pastry
to you, but to me it meant
understanding. I guess Im a lot
like Dani Hurst, who writes on
page 19 that an egg roll can
help on a bad day, even if its
not kosher.
When Christina stood at the
foot of Merediths bed during
last weeks Greys, I imagined
it was Jackie, Cam or Autumn
fghting for life. And I imagined
Chris Raine making fun of that
fght. I cried, and I laughed.
Laughing and the crying at the
same time... thats what makes
Greys Anatomy and my
family great.

Water droplets from your toilet splatter
all over the bathroom When you flush.
that's disgusting
Whatevers going down the
toilet will end up plastering your
personal hygiene items, including
toothbrushes, toilet paper and
contact lens cases that are near the
toilet.
Chuck Gerba, a professor of
environmental microbiology at the
University of Arizona, conducted an
experiment in the mid-1970s that
examined the aerosols created from
toilet fushing. He found that the
foors and sinks near the toilet were
covered with water droplets that
continued to fall from the air up to
four hours after fushing.
Youre brushing your teeth with
whatever you just fushed down the
toilet,he says.
Diseases such as Hepatitis A and
bacterial dysentery can develop from
these water germs, Gerba says. He
recommends religious hand
washing and bathroom
disinfecting at least
once a week to keep
i l l ness- causi ng
germs at bay.
The germs are
another reason to
remind the guys in
your life to keep the
toilet seat down in
the bathroom.

use mineral makeup as an easy-to-apply, organic
alternative to chemical makeup.
health tip
Mineral makeup is easy to use and gives a more
natural appearance than conventional products,
and, unlike chemical makeup, has no expiration date.
Because its a natural product, it cant harbor bacteria,
says Midge Bigalow, store director at Sephora in Oak
Park Mall, 11519 W. 95th St., in Overland Park. And if
you fall asleep without washing your face, its no big
deal, she says.
Mineral makeup is also a good choice for people
with sensitive skin because there are no harmful
irritants.
Bare Escentuals bareMinerals collection features
products made of crushed minerals and are available
in Sephora stores or at www.sephora.com. A starter
kit of the makeup sells for $60.

Workshop
Its the chemical taste that
flled her mouth that Julee
Kessinger remembers most
about using Crest Whitestrips.
She can also remember the
challenge of trying to keep
the saliva from inching toward
her teeth and peeling off the
$40 product that was clinging
gingerly to her smile.
Eventually, Kessinger, Overland
Park senior, found that the only
way to subdue the spit was to
hold her mouth open for the
entire 30-minute period that
Crest advises the Whitestrips
be worn. The uncomfortable
process proved to be too high
maintenance for her tastes, she
says.
So when Kessinger won a
professional teeth-bleaching
treatment at a church auction
last November, she was ready to
try a new approach to brighten
her smile. Today, seeing the
results of the professional
treatment, Kessinger says she
wishes she would have spent the
$300 the treatment costs to get
the results sooner.
And shes not alone. Between
1996 and 2000, the teeth-
whitening industry grew 300
percent, according to the
American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry.And in 2000,Americans
spent $1.3 billion on professional
teeth-whitening procedures.
But without a degree in
dentistry, the countless teeth-
whitening options lining the
shelves of the grocery stores
oral hygiene aisle and piling up
at your dentists offce can be
confusing and overwhelming. So
follow along as we break down
the mechanics, the methods and
the myths behind getting that
Hollywood smile.
Your teeth suffer from two
kinds of staining, says Kylie
Siruta, a student in the division
of dental hygiene at the UMKC
School of Dentistry. Intrinsic
stains are those found on your
tooths dentin layer, the area
between the outer enamel and
the inner blood and nerve center
of a tooth. The dentin is naturally
yellow, says Siruta, so its there
you fnd the cause of the yellow,
orange or light brown shading
that pops up in your smile. Only
peroxide-based chemicals are
successful in removing these
deeper stains.
Lighter, extrinsic stains can
appear on the enamel as a result
of everyday contact with dark
beverages or from smoking.
Whitening toothpastes that
include an abrasive ingredient
can physically scrape these
surface stains from the enamel,
Siruta says. But keep in mind
that these toothpastes do not
contain peroxide ingredients
and are incapable of bleaching
or lightening the shade of your
teeth.
Only two bleaching agents
are capable of penetrating
the tooth and whitening the
naturally yellow dentin layer:
carbamide peroxide and
hydrogen peroxide. When they
come into contact with the
tooth, these agents break down
and the resulting oxidizing
process works to dissolve the
extrinsic and intrinsic stains,
making the teeth appear whiter
and brighter, Siruta says.
The difference between the
two bleaching agents the
amount of time the chemicals
stay active is one factor
that separates professional
treatments prescribed to you
by your dentist and at-home
whitening treatments such as
Crest Whitestrips.
The most commonly used
active ingredient in professional
bleaching treatments is
carbamide peroxide because
it maintains its concentration
longer, Siruta says. Because
of the more inert chemical
reaction occurring with the use
of carbamide peroxide, it will be
active for 6 to 8 hours if left on
the teeth, says David Cohen, an
assistant professor of dentistry at
UMKC. The varying percentages
of hydrogen peroxide found in
the six types of Crest Whitestrips
will only stay active for about 30
minutes, Cohen says.
Another factor that
infuences the results of any
whitening treatment, and one
that separates at-home and
professional treatments, is the
dilution of the bleaching agent
when it comes into contact with
saliva, Siruta says.
One professional treatment
option that minimizes the
chance of dilution is the
whitening tray. An in-offce
mold is taken of your teeth, so
that when you take the tray
home and inject the carbamide
peroxide its form ftted to your
teeth, keeping out any excess
saliva that could rinse the
bleaching agent off the teeth. At
the offces of Galen Van Blaricum,
3310 Mesa Way, whitening trays
cost from $250350, depending
on what percentage of the
bleaching agent you and the
dentist decide is best for you.
The universal-ft Crest
Whitestrips and brush-on
whitening gels do not provide
the same protection from dilution
or the same custom ft that
guarantees strong chemical-to-
tooth contact. And even though
the most expensive option for
Crest Whitestrips is only $44.98,
Kelly Clark, Overland Park junior,
decided to pay for professional
whitening trays after hearing
her friends complain that
their Whitestrips did not sit on
every tooth the same, causing
bleaching inconsistencies.
It was the time commitment
that prevented Brad Bailey,
Overland Park graduate student,
from continuing to use Crest
Whitestrips after only one week
of treatment. It got to the point
that the last thing on my mind
was putting them on for an hour,
Bailey says.To cater to individuals
like Bailey who want to complete
the whitening process in one
sitting, or for those who need to
see immediate results, there are
in-offce professional treatments
that contain even stronger
percentages of the bleaching
treatments. At Cohens private
practice, this treatment of 38
percent carbamide peroxide
costs $550 but takes only 45
minutes.
The bottom line is that the
results of whitening treatments
depend on the strength of the
chemical and the amount of
time the bleaching agent is
allowed to spend on the teeth.
Stronger ingredients that stay
active longer and custom-made
and supervised treatments cost
more but can provide faster
results. All you have to decide
now is how much your smile is
worth.

When Hurricane Katrina
devastated New Orleans, Wade
Penhorwood wanted to help
but didnt have a lot of money
to give. Penhorwood and his
sister combined a love for art
with their desire to help when
they founded pretty:darn:swell,
online at www.prettydarnswell.
com. The site sells submitted
artwork with a portion of each
sale benefting a charity of the
artists choice. The Web site has
raised more than $10,000 for
almost 100 different charities,
Penhorwood says.
Heres how it works: Artists
send in their work, specifying
to which charity they would
like to donate. Penhorwood
then chooses which artists will
be featured on the site. The
rest is up to buyers. Each print
costs $20 $10 stays with
pretty:darn:swell to cover the
cost of printing and shipping,
$5 goes back to the artist, and
the remaining $5 goes to the
chosen charity.
The pieces are as diverse
as the charities they sponsor,
which range from the Special
Olympics to animal protection
agencies, and no credentials
are required to submit a piece.
Penhorwood wants people to
feel like theyre contributing
something by supporting
artists and worthy causes, he
says. Its only $20, he says.
You could buy your friends
some coffee with that money,
or you could give back.

You can tell a lot about a person by the things they carry out with them. thanks to
rising interest, many people are taking a peek inside other peoples handbags.
Andrea Potter has just
returned home from her
job with an apartment
management company.
Happy to be done with a
long, trying day at work, the
Branson, Mo., junior walks
through the door of Rieger
Scholarship Hall swinging
her bright pink handbag. In
her purse is a small collection
of the things she relies on
each day, from the necessary
(reading glasses) to the not
so necessary (glittery lip
gloss).
Potter likes her bag
because it holds everything
she needs, but every once
in awhile she cant resist
looking at what other people
are carrying.
Theres a whole lot of
different styles out there
and they really show off a
persons style, Potter says.
Thanks to the rise of a
new media and technology
subculture, Potter is free
to indulge her voyeuristic
desire to take a look at,
and inside, other peoples
handbags. Currently there
are a number of Web sites
that allow for the posting
and dissecting of users
handbags and the contents
that fll them.
A special thread on Flickr.
com, the photo sharing Web
site, is dedicated entirely to
over 2,000 photos posted
by users of the personal
items they carry in their
bags each day. Other sites,
like InsideMyBag.com, allow
users to email photos of
their bags to be posted and
shared with viewers around
the world.
To this global audience,
privacy is off limits. Users
post pictures of anything
and everything they have
inside their bags, from
watercolor sets and laptops
to sunglasses and iPods, for
all to see. The items show off
a wide spectrum of the lives
they represent and, for some,
are becoming a valid form of
artistic expression.
Saralyn Reece Hardy,
director of the Spencer
Museum of Art, recognizes
the appeal these sites have
because of their tendency
to expose the art of utility
in everyday life. Hardy
thinks a cultural desire for
individually defning aspects
of life fuels the growth of this
idea.
There are small, personal
items that mean things
only for the person carrying
them, Reece Hardy says.
The personal items that are
sometimes concealed can be
as beautiful and satisfying as
public objects, too.
The handbags and the
items leave small, archival
imprints about what the
carrier is doing or where they
are going on a certain day,
says Sherry Williams, curator
of the Kansas Collection at the
Spencer Research Library.
I suppose in a way
peoples papers document
what they do, Williams says.
The contents of your purse
on any given day could
defne what you do or who
you are.
Whether the handbags
and their contents have any
deeper meaning doesnt
matter much for Potter. For
now, shes just interested in
looking.

The blackout after the microburst last
spring may have caused campus to shut
down, but it didnt stop Dave Crupper,
Haven senior, from having a pants-off
party. Kacie Dienstbach, Littleton, Colo.,
senior, noticed Cruppers tight black
undies at the party and thought he
looked cute and confdent. The two have
been together ever since.

Helped Out
Ku Queers & Allies gives lGBt students
and their friends a chance to connect.
photos/ sarah Leonard
cOntAct
by Matt Foster
ryan Campbell, olathe
sophomore, and nancy
Gonzalez-hoch, san Miguel,
Mexico,sophomore,went to their
frst Queers & allies meeting.
offcially, they went to check
things out because they served
together on student senate,
which funds the group. But
according to Gonzalez-hoch, she
and Campbell went to fnd out
what the group does and, she
says half jokingly, We wanted to
go so he could be the Q and me
the a.
KU Queers & allies, also known
as Q & a, intimidated Campbell
because it was perceived as a
dating service. he convinced
Gonzalez-hoch to go along as a
comfort blanket.
Campbell came out while
he was still in high school. he
says that because he did he was
booed on his high schools home
court while serving as an escort
for the homecoming queen
and was kicked out of the Boy
scouts of america two days after
attaining the rank of eagle scout.
even his parents had trouble
accepting that he was gay.
My father used to give me
a lot of shit about it and it took
my mother several months to
acknowledge it, he says. Before
I was at KU, the reactions people
had to my homosexuality were
largely negative.
at the University Campbell
was shocked because although
he knew his sexual orientation
would be a problem for some
people on campus, he says he
never heard anything negative.
since then, hes also been
surprised by the support for
the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBt) community
around the city.
I was also a bit surprised
when I moved into the dorms,
because naismith is sort of a
haven for gay students, he says.
on my foor alone, there were
fve gay men. My roommate, by
chance, was gay. It was just a lot
to get used to.
Campbell says he searched for
a way to participate in the LGBt
community and found the club
scene more like a habit than an
outlet in which to participate.
Liquid was sort of an
addiction I had for a while,
because it seemed to be the best
outlet for the gay community in
Lawrence, he says.
Queers & allies, he thought,
would be a better way to
participate in the gay community
in Lawrence,rather than naismith
hall and Liquid Bar & nightclub,
804 W. 24th st.
A fexible identity
Labels are for jars, not
people, says an old friend of KU
Queers & allies communications
director stephanie Bottoms,
omaha, neb., senior. Bottoms
uses that quote to explain that
she believes sexual orientation is
a spectrum, not a fxed condition.
she joined Queers & allies
because she wanted to help
change its image away from that
of a dating service and toward a
mechanism of change within the
community, she says.
since being here, Ive learned
that its not all about parties and
dating. thats just the main thing
that gets advertised, Bottoms
says. so Ive helped to get
the word out about our other
programs and events.
she has spread the word
about the groups sponsored
lectures, discussions and social
events, Bottoms says. Queers &
allies offers an arena for LGBt
and non-LGBt individuals to
proactively pursue common
political and social objectives,
and it provides counseling for
people who are struggling with
sexuality issues.
Jessica rojas, olathe junior,
says she benefted from the
counseling available from Queers
& allies. she began questioning
her sexual orientation when she
was 18 years old and remained
uncertain for about a year. then
she came to the University and
heard about the group, rojas
says.
Q & a opened my eyes and
myself to who I am, rojas says.I
am so much happier now that I
can understand myself. Ive been
able to get involved and realize
that I can be myself.
rojas originally identifed
herself as bisexual, but she says
that through the friends and
environment within Queers &
allies she eventually became
more comfortable and now
identifes herself as a lesbian.
Listen, talk, enjoy or join
Queers & allies sponsors a
variety of events to encourage
group participation. the group
meets weekly, alternating
between social and business
meetings. their most recent
social meeting was the frst ever
Queer hawk Bowling, to which
they invited anyone who was
interested bowl for free.
Last semester they offered
another frst-time event, Q & a
with Q & a, an open-discussion
forum. anyone can join the
organization simply by attending
the meetings, says Jonathan
pryor Queers & allies director.
In February, the group helped
pay for esera tuaolo to speak at
the University.tuaolo announced
he was gay after retiring from
professional football and since
then has spoken at universities
around the country about
tolerance. tuaolo says that there
was a small LGBt group at the
college he attended but that he
never considered it an option
to join because he thought
he would lose his football
scholarship and his chance to
help his family fnancially by
playing in the nFL.
Its all up to them if they feel
its safe enough to come out,
tuaolo says. But when they
come out, we as a community
must rally around them and
show support.
ryan Campbells involvement
in Queers & allies has helped
show his mother that his
involvement in the LGBt
community is something that
hes passionate about.
[she has realized that] this is
a culture of people who accept
each other and embrace each
other and are here to stay,
he says. and he stresses that
the relationships he has with
non-LGBt individuals like his
mother and nancy Gonzalez-
hoch are important because
they serve as ambassadors and
lead by example.
I think that reaching out to
straight individuals really serves
as a bridge to less accessible
people who would probably be
more close-minded, because
a gay person telling a straight
person that its oK to be gay is
nothing even comparable to a
straight person telling another
straight person that.

as the world becomes more eco-
conscious, its no surprise that some
lawrence artists and designers have
turned to the old adage reduce, reuse,
recycle. its not a new concept, but it is
growing in popularity. at ecoboutiquo,
a boutique that features garments
and accessories made out of mostly
recycled materials, reopening march 6
at 13 e. eighth st., local artists have
another outlet in which to sell their
creations.
renewable resources are the
way to go, says andrea moreau,
an ecoboutiquo shopper. its not
just the way of the future, its the
way of now. as for the creations of
ecoboutiquo owner and designer loni
hosking,its rock n roll couture as far as
im concerned, moreau says.
Loni Hosking
shes been a thrift-store shopper
ever since she was allowed to make
her own decisions about what to wear,
hosking says. since then, shes been re-
thinking clothing.
now, under the designer name
lonibobonny, she creates one-of-a-kind
skirts, dresses, shirts and
handbags, ranging in
price from $15 to $100.
she makes her skirts,
dresses and shirts out of
clothing she fnds while
shopping at thrift stores
and yard sales. Friends
also supply her with
new materials when
they clean out their
closets. hosking reconstructs three or
four old garments to make one new
garment. she especially loves to use
fabrics that stretch and hug curves,
as well as cool prints, she says.
a line of formal gowns hosking
created for planet Fashion, a fashion
show sponsored by ecoboutiquo
last november at liberty hall, 642
massachusetts st., exemplifes her style.
she made a dress entirely out of old
slips ($150) that nobody had thought
of wearing since the early 90s. she cant
wait for a hip high-schooler to scoop up
one of her eco-couture dresses to wear
to prom, hosking says.
hoskings mother, also a clothing
designer, taught her how to sew.
however, unlike her mother, a patient
seamstress, hosking prefers to bunch
it together and cram it through the
machine.
hosking also created a line of
handbags made out of restructured
tube rubber from recycled tires. the
handbags come in all shapes and sizes
with embellishments such as studs,
fringe and oversized clothespins.
hosking isnt the only one breathing
new life into the obsolete. she sells
work from about 30 other local artists
in her boutique.
Lindsey Owen
lindsey owen, Wichita senior, worked
with hosking at Waxman candles, 609
massachusetts st. When hosking saw
owens frst bag, made entirely out of
discarded neckties sewn together, it was
love at frst sight. so owen made more.
she now makes and sells bags
made from ties in all
shapes and sizes, from
clutches to knitting
bags that range in price
from $15 to $75. For
extra fair, owen adds
stitching and decorative
handles to the bags.
she also makes belts,
bracelets that snap and
headbands out of ties.
owen says she usually buys her ties
at the Disabled american Veterans thrift
store in Wichita (they cheap there), or
gets them from people she knows, like
her brother, who just gave her a whole
trash bag full of ties from an estate
sale in Dallas. she likes to add lace and
other feminine touches to her pieces
to contradict the notion that ties come
from old men.
owen also has friends collecting pop
tabs, because she has been designing a
line of pop tab jewelry.so far, shes only
made one big necklace for the planet
Fashion show, but because of all the buzz
she got about it, shes started collecting.
reusing pop tabs is not changing the
world, but it is taking up less space in a
landfll somewhere, she says.
owen likes to take things and look
at them from a different
perspective. my eyes just
attracted to things you
dont really use and they
end up being reused, she
says.its something i dont
really think about, but
im happy it ends up that
way.
Cory OConner
cory oconner,
lawrence resident, wanted
something to carry his
things in, so he made a
bag for himself, he says.
it was the frst thing he
ever made on a sewing
machine. i do it mostly so
i dont have to get a real
job, he says.
he makes his bags, which cost
anywhere from $10 to $40, out of
discarded fabric he fnds in dumpsters
and thrift stores. oconner applies
shapes to his bags, including skull-and-
crossbones (probably the most popular),
animals such as octopuses, unicorns
and elephants and ice cream, rockets
and stars, made out of other fabrics for
added zing. unlike traditional appliqu,
oconner doesnt do the zigzag stitch
to hide the fray because it looks cool,
he says.
he also recently began making a
line of traditional stocking caps that
cost between $7 to $20. i lose hats a
lot and i hate buying them, he says. so
he made a few for himself and decided
to make a bunch to sell. he creates the
hats from out-of-style sweaters that
nobody would wear anymore. like
the shapes on his handbags, he leaves
the ends unfnished, creating a worn
look. oconner also made a bunch of
scarves out of similar materials, mixing
and matching the colors and patterns
for drama. the scarves cost between
$7 to $15 at ecoboutiquo. he also plans
to add skirts made out of recycled t-
shirts, as well as modifed t-shirts and
sweatshirts to his collection by spring.
if youre wary about
wearing clothing found
in a dumpster, oconner
is reassuring: he washes
everything he makes,
and if its really gross, he
doesnt mess with it.all
it is is recycling,he says.
if you see something
in a dumpster that you
want, you should grab
it. its our duty as human
beings.
Suzanne Perry
self-described eco-
artist suzanne perry
doesnt go dumpster
diving to fnd the
materials she uses to
make her glass block
lamps she goes to the university
of kansas library, where she used to
work. perry uses recycled plastic book
jackets for the surface design on her
lampshades. instead of being thrown
away, i use them, she says.
she draws and transfers her original
sketches to the glass blocks themselves
(exactly how she does it is her secret).
the base is made up of recycled steel
wire made from crushed cars, which is a
way to get steel without mining ore, she
says. Designs on the lamps range from
martinis to the eiffel tower and prices
range from $40 to $60, depending on
where you buy it. shes even licensed
to create Jayhawk lamps, because she
attended ku more than 30 years ago to
get a masters in French and never left
lawrence.
she got the idea for the lamps after
she fgured out how to separate the
plastic from discarded book jackets
when making paper bead earrings and
necklaces out of them. now her idea
is trademarked and she sells them to
national catalogs, including Femail
Creations, a catalog of artwork by
women, and After 5 Catalog, a barware
catalog.
although the lamps used to be more
educational before recycling became
more common, she says, shes just really
happy that people like what she makes.
even the former governor of missouris
wife liked her lamps so much she
custom-ordered one for the governors
mansion.
Try this on for size
on tuesday head to ecoboutiquos
new location, 13 e. eighth st., to see the
eco-friendly items these artists have
crafted. Who says recycling cant
be fashionable and sexy, loni
hosking says.
how much do we
throw away?
the average american
generates about 4.6 pounds
of trash per day.
the united states generates
about 230 million tons of
trash per year.
less than 25 percent of trash
is recycled.
more than 70 percent of trash
could be recycled.

Found objects are one of the

at the Whitney museum at philip
morris in new York, to make art.
he made more love hours (no

were damaged or torn. i took out
the good parts and put it back
together, he says. he also creates
art out of booze bottles left from
him drinking (especially Jack

What do you do? You stop being
clingy. Right now.
The number one reason why women
cling to their boyfriends like leeches is
insecurity. You might think your sense
of security in a relationship comes from
your signifcant other, but this is exactly
the kind of distorted thinking that
creates more barnacles.
My friends mother told her (and
she now constantly repeats) that No
one can make you feel anything. You
choose how you feel because feelings
develop unconsciously.
Imagine if you had the best boyfriend
in the world, who constantly reassured
you of his love, sent you fowers every
day and never looked at other women.
If you felt internally insecure, it wouldnt
matter how big of a bouquet he bought
you, because you would always have
a nagging fear that one day he might
leave you. Or that he would cheat on
you. If he goes on a family trip for the
weekend and you dont hear from him,
you would start to wonder if hes angry
with you, and if things have changed.
Now compare that with someone
who is internally secure. It wont matter
if she and her boyfriend have a fght and
dont speak for a few days. She knows he
loves her and she trusts that everything
will be OK. She doesnt hear from him
for a couple of days? His phone battery
must have died and he must have lost
his charger. She always thinks positively
until he gives her a reason to think
otherwise.
So you need to start telling yourself
that he loves you. That he wouldnt have
moved in with you and stayed with
you for a year (despite your neediness)
if he wasnt in love with you. You need
to start dating yourself, doing things
without him, instead of hanging around
him all the time.
The only reason you want to spend
all of your time with him is because
you want constant validation from him
that he cares. And if you havent gotten
enough of it on a particular day, you
think the longer you hang out the more
of that reassurance you can get. But the
opposite is true.
Stay away for awhile and youll
become more attractive. Hell give you
more of that reassurance when he does
see you and youll love yourself more
when you dont resemble a blood-
sucking worm.
Ive been wIth my boyfrIend for a year, but Im really needy. we used
to lIve together and now were gettIng ready to lIve apart. I know my
clIngIness Is pushIng hIm away, but I feel lIke I dont know how to act
any other way. I want to spend all of my tIme wIth hIm. what do I do?
JIll, JunIor
I gave my gIrlfrIend a blender for valentInes day and shes been actIng
pretty dIstant ever sInce. what dId I do wrong?
bIlly, freshman
Oh, Billy! What did you do wrong?!
You bought her a blender! Did you
puree your brains with it before you
bought it for her? Women want a
romantic gift for V-Day, even if it as
clichd as a heart-shaped box of
chocolates. She probably thinks the
blender was an indication that youre
not that crazy about her, when really
it just means youre crazy. Consider
yourself lucky that she didnt stick
your ass in it and hit whip as soon as
she opened it. But since she refrained,
theres probably still hope in the form
of Hallmark. Get her a really sappy card,
have some fowers delivered and attach
a note that says something cheesy like
Sorry I minced up. I love you. Please
forgive me.
Then, use the blender to make her a
really damn good dinner. And next year,
stick to fowers and candy, or for some
variety, a snuggly teddy bear.

OUt
taking the stage
singer-songwriter tanner Walle will release
his second CD and make a contribution to
the United Way this weekend.
Tanner Walle, frontman for
Lawrence cover band The Wobbly
H, is proving that his musical
palette extends beyond singing
other peoples songs.
Walle, 23-year-old Lawrence
resident,will unveil his sophomore
solo album, The Future of Tape,
March 2 at the Granada Theater,
1020 Massachusetts St.
Its not until you hear his
original stuff that you get a real
sense of him, Mark Barrath, St.
Louis senior, says. Him being
known as the singer for The
Wobbly H just doesnt do him
justice or show his true talents.
Though Walles new album
draws from the same subtle
melodies and jazzy guitar work as
his debut, It Was, his partnership
with producer Jerett Fulton is
leading him in a new musical
direction.
Trying to compare his
sophomore album to his debut
is like trying to compare night
and day, Walle says. The Future of
Tape is an electro-pop collection
that relies on both organic
and electronic grooves, as well
as Walles delicate vocals and
acoustic guitar work.
Its 21st-century singer-
songwriter, says Fulton, owner of
Mixtape Soundlab, 735 1/2 New
Hampshire St. Weve helped him
fnd a brand new sound.
That sound will be shared with
the public March 2 at the Granada
Theater for the frst time. Walle
contribute some of the proceeds
from the night to Rock Chalk
Revue, an annual fundraiser for
the United Way.
Rock Chalk Revue is one
of the largest student-run
philanthropies in the United
States, and past shows have raised
more than $50,000. In addition
to contributing the sales of an
EP that includes several tracks
from The Future of Tape, Walle is
donating all ticket sales from his
CD release party at the Granada
Theater to the United Way.
Scott Campbell, fundraising
coordinator for the 2007 Rock
Chalk Revue, says it will be talent
show of sorts for the participating
organizations. Walles talents will
help raise money for the United
Way, and that the organization
plans to incorporate Rock Chalk
Artists into future performances
because of this years projected
success, Campbell says.
Walles EPs will be available at
the Lied Center before and after the
Rock Chalk Revue perfornances.
He is eager for the opportunity to
share his fresh batch of originals
with a new audience.Its great for
both entities, he says.Either way,
money is going to be raised. Its a
surefre thing.

ALTERNATE REALITY
World of Warcraft is more popular than
ever, but is the game taking students away
from reality?
03.01.2007 JAYPLAY 15
Will Coquillette, Lenexa junior,
never wanted to play World of
Warcraft. In fact, he was dead
set against it. He had witnessed
friends become addicted to the
game and decided that wasnt
going to be him. In 2005, he
decided to innocently try it
out to see what all the fuss was
about. But once he sat down, he
didnt want to get up.
The online
computer game
World of Warcraft,
released in
November 2004,
has become
nothing short of
a phenomenon.
With eight
million players
worldwide, two
million of those
in North America
alone, its safe to say this is not
just a video game. A massively
multiplayer online role-playing
game (or MMORPG for short),
WoW allows its users to enter an
alternate reality in which they can
create their own characters, fght
off enemies and live in a world
completely separate from their
own.
Vacation time
In fact, the opportunity to
escape is one of the games
most appealing qualities. If you
play the game enough, it allows
you to lead someone elses
life, Coquillette says. It frees
you from a lot of the emotional
baggage of real life and, in a way,
gives you a vacation.
To enter WoW is to enter
another dimension. In the game,
players live in a world of fantasy
and adventure. They can explore
snow-covered mountains, sand
dunes, forests and ice bridges,
all with the beauty of 3-D
animation. Gamers can also walk
through logging companies and
castles, intermittently fghting
off beasts and demons along the
way. WoW also gives gamers the
opportunity to talk to each other
out loud with microphones,using
software such as TeamSpeak
or Ventrilo. If players do not
have this software, they can
communicate with each other
through text, a system similar to
instant messaging. Through this
system, gamers can make their
characters firt, tell jokes, dance,
and even strip.
In the beginning, Coquillette
played an average of 40 hours per
week. Although he now plays 10
hours a week at the most, when
he started playing, WoW turned
into an alternate
reality for him.
WoW players
can easily lose
perspective of
the real world
while playing
the game,
causing them to
view their own
life as a drag
in comparison,
says Anne
Owen, a licensed psychologist
in Lawrence. It can be a lot
like a drug addiction, she says.
People give up on aspects of
their life that could be fulflling
because their focus is on playing
the game.

Real-world interaction
World of Warcraft also interacts
with the real world, increasing its
appeal. According to Coquillette,
the economics surrounding the
game account for much of the
allure. While playing the game,
players earn gold that propels
their character further into each
level. Sometimes, instead of
keeping the gold for themselves,
players put the gold up for sale
on eBay and make a substantial
proft. Although Coquillette
hasnt done this, he says its also
possible for the player to sell
their entire account on eBay.
Damon Smith, Houston junior,
received $500 for his account
when he sold it on eBay, but
believes he could have had
$1,500 if he had sold the account
as soon as he stopped, instead of
allowing the account to remain
idle for three months.
The game also lets users
interact socially, allowing them
to work together to complete a
goal. In WoW, the object of the
game is to move to the next
level. By joining a guild, you can
agree to play with other people
to further advance in the game
and gain experience and gold.
Gaining gold and items, or loot,
better equips the player to face
more diffcult enemies further
along in the game. While playing,
users can talk to each other
through messaging systems and
audible dialogue, oftentimes
forming new friendships that
transfer to real life. Smith has
only made a few friends through
the game, although he has heard
that some couples meet while
playing WoW and get married,
he says.
The games other large appeal
is the rush of accomplishment
and power users get from
playing the game. Every level is
designed to help the player gain
experience. As a player moves up
each level, he or she becomes
more powerful by collecting
gold, and it becomes increasingly
more diffcult to travel to the
next part of the game. People
like to be powerful, Coquillette
says.The game is full of rewards
like that.

Addiction factor
With all the appeal of WoW,
Smith believes it has turned into
an addiction. Since beginning
the game, Smith has quit three
times, most recently last August,
due to the time commitment it
demanded. He has yet to start
up again.
For people who play the
game, its like a second life to
them. You cant just quit a life,
Smith says. Much like Coquillette,
Smith found that the game
distracted him from his real life,
sometimes to an overwhelming
degree. Smith became dedicated
to playing every night when
he joined with 39 other players
in his guild to complete a
challenge for bragging rights
and new equipment for their

challenge, the 40 players faced a

beat, Smith says.
During the summer, it was
not unusual for Smith to play
eight hours every day, reducing
his playing to three hours when
school started. It seemed like a
job. It stopped being fun, because
Id always have to prepare to play
the game,he says.
According to Smith, half of
all WoW users are addicted.
Addictions to video games
can be destructive, Owen says.
People know when its getting
out of balance because their
time with friends and family
suffers, she says. Its a lot like
drug addiction, in that their
focus becomes when theyre
going to play the game. They
give up on aspects of their life
that could be fulflling because
they dont put their energy into
real-life experiences.
Fearing that he could become
addicted, Smith decided to quit
just nine months after he started.
Attempting to go cold turkey did
little to keep him away from the
game. Shortly after he quit, he
began playing again.
Video game addiction is like
compulsive gambling, Owen
says. Its just one more hand,
one more roll, she says. The
rest of the world fades away into
this accomplishment, this level.
In order to stop video game
addiction, Owen says, someone
close to the person should
monitor his or her time spent on
the computer. The person will
need a lot of support because
of the emptiness they will feel
if their game is taken away. They
need to realize what theyve
given up for the game.
After March 2006, Smith
decided to wean himself off the
game slowly for a six-month
period. He hasnt played since.
Even though some people
take it to the extreme, WoW can
be a fun, interactive way to go on

Back in the day: Judge Deanell
Reece Tacha says she didnt always
know she wanted to be a judge.
She was encouraged by the faculty
of the KU Law School and decided
to pursue a law degree at a time
when very few women did.
Grad life: Immediately after
graduating from the University
of Kansas, Tacha attended the
University of Michigan Law
School and received her degree in
1971. She became a White House
fellow and special assistant to the
secretary of the U.S. Department
of Labor until 1972, but moved
back to Kansas when she married
a high school basketball coach
in Concordia. One year later, she
joined the KU Law faculty. In 1985,
Tacha was appointed by President
Ronald Reagan to the U.S. Court
of Appeals and confrmed with
the help of Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole.
Today: Judge Tacha was
promoted to Chief Judge of the
U.S.Court of Appeals for the Tenth
District in 2001 and remains on
the bench today. Although the
Tenth District includes Kansas,
Oklahoma, Colorado, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, she
still lives in Lawrence, where she
and her husband raised their
four children. She is a member
of the Judicial Conference of the
United States, which includes
the chief judge and one district
court judge from every district
in the country. With the other
judges, she helps set policy for
all federal courts in the U.S.
She says: Judge Tacha likes
her job because its interesting
and shes always being
challenged intellectually. Im
always confronted with new and
challenging issues,she says.

Los Angeles Midnight Movies
brought their psychedelic rock
to the Bottleneck on Tuesday,
Feb. 20. Playing before a good-
sized audience, they meandered
through a set full of driving
anthems and droning vocals.
The set opened with Lion
Song, which started with
subtle tambourine and a low
and steady feel before building
to a quicker tempo with fery
guitar leads from Larry Schemel,
subtle background vocals
from drummer Sandra Vu, and
thumping bass.
From there, the set continued
in a similar fashion of slow,
quiet intros building to fast
tempos, with driving guitar and
somewhat off-key vocals.
Throughout the set, the band
looked awkward and aloof,
as if they were jamming on
the material for the frst time.
Though this hurt them in some
ways, it matched the imagery of
the songs: mysterious, confusing
art rock with a heavy low end.
Yet it did little to liven up their
repetitive set.

Touring behind their self-
titled debut CD, Hello Stranger
invaded the Replay Lounge on
Wednesday, Feb. 21, playing to
a small group of people ready
to hear some dance-rock mixed
with new wave and disco. But
unlike several bands in the
genre, Hello Stranger didnt
fll their set with dirty dance-
punk, and lead singer Juliette
Commagere didnt try to sound
British.
Instead, their smartly crafted
pop songs (reminiscent of The
Cardigans, Fleetwood Mac
and The Sounds) demanded
attention, with their killer hooks
and solid grooves anchored by
drummer Joachim Cooder and
bassist Ben Messelbeck.
Her in These Lights
featured soaring keys and a
strong halftime groove, while
Dancing For No One had a
mysterious disco feel. Guitarist
Jared Smith lost his guitar strap
during the song, but never
stopped giving his all as the
band continued to put energy
into every beat.
On We Used to Talk the band
got quiet for a few minutes and
showcased a great bluesy lead
from Smith. It was great to see a
dance-rock band play a laidback
song without having to explode
at the end.
On Es Tu Vida, Hello Stranger
showcased one of its neatest
talents playing a song
completely in Spanish and
actually pulling it off without
sounding like a cheap gimmick.
They closed the powerful set
with Which Side Is Mine, which
showed the band truly focused
with the locked-in rhythm
section and clapping assistance
from the audience.
Since you missed your chance
to see them, your best bet is to
pick up their self-titled debut
and fall in love, because simply
put, every song is good.

Hello Stranger
Jim Carrey and director Joel
Schumacher make a terrible duo.
They last teamed up on 1995s
Batman Forever, with disastrous
results, and dont fare much better in
The Number 23.
Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow,
a dog-catcher who receives a book
from his wife (Virginia Madsen) on
his birthday. The book is titled The
Number 23.
The book revolves around suicide
and murder, which seem to be
related to the number 23. As Walter
reads, he starts to notice that his life
parallels the book in many ways, and
that the most important events in his
life relate to the number 23. Digging
into the past, Walter discovers a
mysterious murder and realizes that
the number 23 may be more than
just a coincidence.
This is the classic case of
the movie that tries too hard.
Throughout, The Number 23 tries
to be creepy, but comes off as
extremely dull and unintentionally
humorous.
For example, a mysterious, all-
knowing dog shows up at the scene
of coincidences, but instead of
looking menacing, he challenges
viewers to hold back their laughter.
Theres also the parallel book
universe, flmed in mellow blacks,
whites and reds. Here, its evident
that Schumacher tries to evoke
1950s and 60s noir but fails
miserably, as the scenes come across
as cheesy.
But the flms biggest faw is in the
title. It turns out that the number
23 is neither a curse nor a blessing,
but a gimmick. The movie isnt very
frightening in the frst place, but take
away that number and it just doesnt
add up.

Te Number 23
Movie
my big fat
The smell of golden-fried pork
egg rolls stacked upon one another
is the frst thing that grabs my
attention. The grease glistens on
the perfectly wrapped folds of the
crispy dough envelopes, and I can
almost feel the satisfying crunch
against my tongue. My mouth
waters. I follow the buffet line, my
eyes dancing over
the burnt orange
crab legs reaching
out of the steaming
tray, beckoning me.
My brow furrows,
and I start to sweat.
Further down the
line, curly pink
shrimp tails seem to
spill out over the rim
of a bowl of cocktail
sauce, teasing me. I
quickly grab a bowl
of egg drop soup and a handful
of crispy noodles and run back to
my table.
I didnt always follow a kosher
diet. I learned the main rules
back when I was in frst or second
grade of Hebrew school dont
mix milk and meat and dont
eat pork or shellfsh but my
mother was pretty lax about our
eating habits because we just
werent that religious. We didnt
go to synagogue regularly. We
didnt mingle with a lot of other
Jewish families. We didnt even
know the names of the months of
the Jewish calendar.
Looking back now, though, I
see that we were always culturally
Jewish, and we did the things
that most people expect Jews
to do: we celebrated Chanukah,
my family went to synagogue on
high holy days, and my older sister
and I attended Hebrew school
for a few years. My family, much
like the other Jewish families we
knew, also tended to overdo the
no pork part, avoiding
pigs altogether (my mom
wouldnt even shop at Piggly
Wiggly grocery stores because of
the pig on the sign).
I remember the exact point in
my life when I decided to make
the switch to a kosher diet. I had
just come back from a 10-day
trip to Israel, an
environment in
which the people
were beautiful
tan and slender,
with big eyes and
welcoming smiles
and the food was
unusually delicious
(especially for being
kosher).
Every day we
ate kosher dishes
that were more
delicious than any I had ever
had back in Kansas: warm, crisp
falafel (smashed chickpeas rolled
into balls and fried) on soft pita
bread, stacked high with fresh
salads and tangy sauces, and juicy
shawarma (slices of marinated
meat roasted on a rotating spit)
that melted in your mouth before
you even had a chance to chew
it three times. These foods were
abundant in Israel, on every street
corner and in every restaurant. I
was convinced that my transition
to an all-kosher diet would be a
smooth and satisfying one. I could
not have been more wrong.
Coming home was a
gastronomic disappointment.
Instead of fnding fresh falafel
and shawarma on every
corner, I was stuck with the less
appetizing versions of the foods
I used to relish: plain hamburgers
replaced scrumptious bacon
cheeseburgers, boring cheese
pizzas replaced favorful
pepperoni pizzas, and I couldnt
eat shrimp or lobster or crab, ever.
And it just kept getting worse.
My dietary makeover gradually
leaked into the tiniest parts of my
life, like my snack foods.
For instance, I remember the
very last powdered gem donut I
ever ate. It was spring break, and
my friends and I were lounging
around a hotel room. Each one
of us had bought a favorite treat
to share with the group, and
mine had been a bag of Hostess
powdered gem donuts.
I offered one to a vegetarian
friend, but she declined it on the
basis that they contained beef fat.
I didnt believe her, and shoved
one in my mouth. Then I checked
the ingredients, just for fun, only
to fnd that she had been right.
Then I saw the dreaded words:
Contains milk products. I almost
choked on the damned thing.
Beef fat and milk meat and milk
mixed together. That was a kosher
faux pas, a no-no, a cardinal rule
never to be broken.
I slowly chewed the remainder
of the donut in my mouth and
swallowed carefully, eyes shut
tight, afraid a bolt of lightning
would strike me down then and
there. I rolled the top of the bag
shut and sadly gave them away.
That was the start of what is now
my barter system with Gd (The
lack of an o in the word is similar
to not taking the Lords name in
vain, an old Hebrew school habit
I never broke).
After that, food took on a much
more signifcant role. It wasnt
merely nourishment for my body,
but was a way to express my
Judaism in a manner that made
sense to me. I knew I could never
follow every kosher law as strictly
as Gd would want, so I began
to think in terms of spiritual
negotiation.
If, for instance, I followed the
main laws as well as I could, then
when a monster craving hit, a
little piece of bacon would go
unpunished. If I checked the
labels of the bread I bought and
made sure there was no milk in
case I made a turkey sandwich,
then Gd just might overlook
that taco I ate that I forgot to
order without cheese. If Id had
a particularly rough week, Gd
would not begrudge me a small
shrimp cocktail.
And maybe, just maybe, if I
didnt eat that sausage, egg and
cheese McMuffn that I desperately
desired, then Gd wouldnt be so
mad at me for dating a non-Jew.
I saw it as give and take,
weighing my options and
choosing the lesser of two
evils. That way, I got instant
gratifcation; I felt that my kosher
decisions were impacting my life
now, rather than waiting for their
benefts on Judgment Day.
This has become my
permanent view of how things
work. Instead of being bitter
about the foods Im no longer
allowed to enjoy every day, I
can withstand cravings easier
because I havent completely
abolished those foods from my
life. Ive never had a one-on-
one with Gd, so I have no idea
how He feels about the whole
set-up. However, Ive gotten no
indication that Hes severely
upset.
Some people might
call it cheating. Frankly,
it just might be. But its
the only way I can justify
the importance of a
kosher diet in my life.
Im healthier because
of my switch to a more
kosher diet, but Im
happier because of my
new way of approaching
it. Nothing else really
matters.
Now pass me an
egg roll. Its been a
rough week.
