Game Changer?BY T.S. MCBRIDEContributing Writer

Spike Lee, director of “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts” and “Malcolm X,” will speak at the Murchison Performing Arts Center on Nov. 11.

The Oscar-nominated director will discuss his life, his career and race issues as part of UNT’s Fine Arts Series. The event is free to students, but seating is first come, first served.

“Spike Lee has paved the way for so many things in indepen-dent cinema,” said Mark Packer, assistant director for programs of the University Union. “Not to mention the role of African-American actors in film.”

Tickets have been available to students since Oct. 11, although the 25th hour negotiations with Lee’s representatives weren’t completed until Wednesday. The general public will be able to get tickets for $30 on Oct. 18. Tickets will also be available for senior citizens, non-UNT students and UNT faculty, staff and the Alumni Association for $15.

Lee will receive a $25,000 fee for his appearance — a typical amount, Packer said. The lecture, like all Fine Arts Series programs, will be paid for with student service fees. Programs are selected by a committee made up of the Student Government Association, faculty senate and

staff administration officials. “I think this is pretty exciting,”

said Mark Castaneda, a mechan-ical and energy engineering senior. “I think it is a big deal for the university, especially the minority groups.”

Lee has directed 46 movies, doc u ment a r ie s a nd T V programs, many of which he has also acted in. He has been twice nominated for an Oscar — in 1990 for Best Director for “Do the Right Thing” and in 1998 for Best Documentary Feature for “4 Little Girls.”

The director has developed a reputation for dealing with racially charged issues in his movies. His behavior off-screen has sometimes drawn contro-versy, such as when he criticized director Clint Eastwood for not having any black soldiers in his World War II drama, “Flags of Our Fathers.”

The Fine Arts Series program is the longest running program on campus. It was established in 1903 by the faculty senate when UNT was called the North Texas Normal College, and the program was charged with bringing arts and culture to the students.

“I think that arts are such a great part of our society, and I think now more than ever we need the arts to help us bridge the gap in becoming better global citizens,” Packer said. “The arts are so international

One way that UNT is working on saving energy is through a system known as ReRev. ReRev uses the heat energy pro-duced by the machines and turns it into electricity that gets fed directly into the Recreational Building’s power grid.

UNT may save as much as $3.2 million a year on its electric bill once efficiency upgrades to campus buildings are complete in two years, officials say.

Construction on the Energy Savings Performance project begins in November and will be complete in May 2013. The $42 million project includes the insta l lat ion of a new large-capacity water chiller, motion-sensitive light switches, water-conserving systems and improved energy management software.

“We’re going to put up a Web page that will keep people posted as the project progresses and post outages,” said Charles Jackson, executive director of facilities. “We’ve got a commu-nication plan that we’re working on with URCM and Schneider Electric so there won’t be any surprises.”

The university is taking out a loan to pay for the upgrades, but the project is expected to pay for itself in savings to elec-trical and maintenance costs over the next 20 years, Jackson said.

Samuel Atkinson of the biolog y facu lt y sa id t he upgrades will be worth the money.

“The new equipment is far more efficient,” he said. “We’ll be releasing far less carbon dioxide because we’ll be using less fossil fuels to generate the power the university needs to operate.”

Jenny Marienau, an orga-nizer with the Sierra Student Coalition, an environmental organization dedicated to reducing pollution, was unim-pressed.

“Energ y eff iciency is an extremely important step,” she said. “But as long as the university gets 50 percent of its energy from coal, it’s not nearly enough.”

Marienau said coal is the dirtiest source of energy.

“It’s inappropriate for an institution that claims to be focused on sustainability to continue using it,” she said.

The university partnered with Schneider Electric to

Energy project to affect campus

improve many of the univer-sit y’s current energ y and water systems. UNT previ-ously worked with Schneider on a 10-year energy savings project that began in 1997 and allowed the university to save $1.2 million a year in energy costs.

“We do energy conserva-tion retrof its where we’re the prime contractor,” said Roger Flud, energy solutions sales team leader at Schneider Electric. “We basically install and oversee complete energy retrofits.”

Water chillers and pipelines provide cool air for buildings around the university. The new project calls for a new 5.5-mile pipeline that will carry water to 39 campus buildings and a

new bus-sized central cooling unit to chill the water, among other things.

The contract with Schneider Electric stipulates that the company will reimburse the university if the savings fail to pay for themselves.

“It’s in the contract,” Jackson said. “They guarantee to provide this much savings per year for this certain period of time and if they do not meet it, they write us a check.”

The construction may cause street and parking closures, Jackson said. He was adamant, however, that classes will not be disrupted and the majority of the in-building work will be done at night.

Once the work is completed, anyone will be able to monitor

t he energ y usage of t he upgraded buildings from a website as per the new soft-ware. Jackson hopes the avail-able information will help faculty and staff be aware of their daily energy consump-tion and take steps to reduce it.

“We can look at that and make adjustments if we have to,” Jackson said. “But it will also give us the ability to show people in the building and say ‘Here’s your energy usage.’”

Schneider Electric was given its notice to proceed from the university. The company is readying equipment and gath-ering materials to begin the project. Students should expect to see construction on campus in early November.

Students passing by the area near the new football stadium next spring may see three 150-foot electric wind turbines.

T he U N T O f f ic e of Sustainability submitted a feasibility study on Oct. 11 for a state-funded project that would make the Mean Green greener by having the turbines.

The Northwind 100 turbines could be in place as soon as April, pending the approval of a $2 million grant by the State Energy Conservation Office. The feasibility study was conducted to satisfy the state’s requirements for the grant — the final element of an applica-tion submitted a year ago.

Matthew Traum of the mechanical and energy engi-neering faculty talked about the process of getting the state’s support for the turbines and its impact on UNT.

“This is part of that over-arching story of how we’re progressing towards becoming a research university,” he said.

Todd Spinks, director of the Office of Sustainability, expects to get a final answer on whether UNT will be awarded the grant in a few weeks because the feasibility study has been submitted. But it could take as long as a couple of months.

“I wish I [knew],” Spinks said about how long it would take the conservation office to return a final answer on the requested grant.

The money for the turbines will stem from the 2009 A merican Recover y and Reinvestment Act, which is granting a stimulus of more than $218 million to the state conservation office, according to the agency’s website. Of that money, $53 million will be distributed to the agen-cy’s renewable energy tech-nology program for projects throughout the state.

Most Northwind 100 instal-lations cost $500,000, according to the manufacturer Northern Power Systems’ website.

The added contribution of electricity from the turbines

is estimated to save $14,000 to $20,000 a year in energy costs to UNT, Spinks said.

“Those are conservative measurements,” Spinks said, indicating a low savings esti-mate. “A worst-case scenario.”

Each turbine would put out 150,000 kilowatt-hours per year, amounting to 450,000 kwh output for all three combined, he said.

That would amount to a contribution of 6 to 8 percent of the electricity for the Eagle Point campus each year, Spinks said.

“The stadium is designed to be green,” Spinks said. “With 40 percent of the power [to the campus] already coming from a wind farm, add the power from the three turbines, it is likely to be the greenest stadium in the world.”

Previous concerns were raised about the aesthetic value and potential noise created by the turbines. Spinks said he visited a wind farm with similar turbines and said that noise would be minimal.

The Department of Energy designed the technology for these turbines to be low main-tenance, low noise and to have minimal environmental impact with urban areas in mind, Spinks said.

“It gives a soft humming noise,” he said. “You know when a refrigerator icemaker first turns on? It’s about like that. Once you’re beyond 300 feet, it’s extremely difficult to hear.”

The turbines would be about 1,500 to 1,800 feet south-south-west of the stadium, and 1,500 to 2,000 feet away from the nearest homes, he said.

Natalya Geremesz, a fashion merchandising junior, supports the project.

“I think it’s good, the fact that it’s going to be green and help,” she said, “[I like] the fact that they’re going to use green energy.”

Geremesz said she approved of the state-funded effort to go green.

“The state should definitely fund projects like that,” she said. “It has the responsi-bility.”

Students who are inter-ested in t he restaura nt industry will get the chance to hear from John Miller, the CEO of Taco Bueno.

Mi l ler w i l l spea k on campus Tuesday as a part of the annual Executive-i n - R e s i d e n c e L e c t u r e Series, sponsored by School of Mercha nd i si ng a nd Hospitality Management. The lecture is free and will be at 11 a.m. in the Gateway Center Ballroom.

The primary reason for Miller’s appearance is to spea k to t he hospita l it y management students.

“He w i l l probably be talking about how he got to where he is in his career, give us the background of Taco Bueno and what he sees as the future of the hospi-tality industry, and give the students advice on how to develop themselves to help them propel their careers,” said Lea Dopson, associate professor and chairwoman of the hospitality management department.

Hospitality management students w il l hear Mil ler speak for about 40 to 50 minutes and then students will have the opportunity to ask questions for the last 10 or 15 minutes of the hour-long lecture.

“There aren’t many places where you get to meet with a CEO,” said Nancy Kidder, a hospitality management graduate student. “The ability

that we have him here on campus and we can actu-ally ask a question is pretty priceless.”

Miller started his career in the food industry in 1974 as an assistant manager for Casa Bonita, which was a division of Taco Bueno. Miller then worked his way up over the years and became president and CEO of Taco Bueno in 2005.

Facu lt y member Jer r y Dickenson, who was t he founding partner and former CEO of ClubCorp, maintains connections with major CEOs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and was the key source for getting Miller to come to the university.

“We’re very fortunate to have ex-vice presidents and CEOs on our faculty from the hospitality industry,” Dopson said.

The Executive-in-Residence Lecture has been an annual

event for 25 years. Some of the guests have included Norman Brinker, chairman and CEO of Chili’s, and Richard E. Rivera, president and CEO of T.G.I. Fridays.

“We as a program have been very blessed because we have been getting this oppor-tunity to meet these people,” said Megan E. Hubl, event coordinator and undergrad-uate student intern for the School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management.

The school expects an excellent turnout at this year’s lecture. There are almost 800 hospita l it y ma nagement students, and more than half of them are likely to attend, Dopson said.

“I k now some of my students are extremely excited to have him coming,” Hubl said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going to be happening at the Executive-in-Residence this year.”

At UNT football games, fans can take pictures with him, children are delighted when he struts their way, and UNT students are familiar with the fierce green and white eagle. But what they don’t know is the mysterious identity of the person, or persons, behind the mask.

Scrappy is a universit y tradition. On Feb. 1, 1922, the students voted for the eagle as the school mascot, and in the 1950 game of North Texas against Oklahoma Tech, the first eagle mascot, a live golden eagle, was introduced.

Voted on and named Scrappy, this golden eagle became the First Bird at North Texas.

In 1963, the f irst human eagle mascot graced Fouts Field and was provided by the UNT marching band.

Today, Scrappy leads fans in raucous cheers and motivates the crowd to root on the foot-ball team.

Shared by two students, Scrappy remains one person-ality that continues to enter-tain UNT fans.

Their human identities are a closely held secret, although

The identity of Scrappy, the UNT eagle mascot, is a closely guarded secret. The two people who � ll the mascot’s costume share a passion for the role they take on, including entertaining the fans at sporting events.

UNT officials and their friends know them by name.

Scrappy 1Standing at 5-foot-6-inches,

the first half of the pair is a art sophomore who loves playing the role of Scrappy.

“Just to see smiles on faces, like litt le kids,” Scrappy 1 said. “It’s fun to make them laugh.”

The high-spirited sopho-more had no competition for the role of Scrappy in 2009 because of short notice and a desperate need for a new mascot.

“They needed someone on the spot,” Scrappy 1 said.

Training an hour a day about three days a week, the devoted UNT mascot ta kes ever y opportunity to get involved with UNT campus life.

In addition to performing at football games, this familiar face appears at student activ-ities ranging from soccer and volleyball games to greek life and freshman orientations.

“I try to get involved with st udent l i fe as much as possible,” Scrappy 1 said.

Scrappy signifies a great many things to the students on campus, but few know the minds behind the mask.

Carolyne McLaren, a biology sophomore, knows Scrappy 1 well.

“[Scrappy 1 has] always been a really cool person, really outspoken and friendly,” McLaren said. Just that type of person that you get along with.”

Though the schedule is rough, Scrappy 1 finds time to be a college student.

“I don’t have a job, but I do hang out with friends and stuff like that,” Scrappy 1 said.

Scrappy 2

A music senior constitutes the other half of the pair that shares the giant eagle head and costume.

This senior enjoys portraying Scrappy for slightly different reasons.

“I l ike to represent the university,” Scrappy 2 said. “I can help create school spirit and not be another person in the crowd.”

Scrappy 2 became Scrappy through a more traditional route.

“I pretty much got sent to an appearance, and the former Scrappy watched me and made the decision to allow me to wear the suit,” Scrappy 2 said.

Having two Scrappys is helpful, said Jamie Adams, the UNT director of promotions.

“It gets very hot in September, and it pays off to have multiple mascots work a football game,” Adams said.

The university also has multiple events at the same time, he said, such as an appear-ance in Dallas and a volleyball game.

“We want to be [as] accom-modating to our fan base as possible, so having two mascots helps us in that way,” Adams said.

Previous Scrappy performer Mark Bradford taught both Scrappys a lot, like Scrappy’s walk, dancing style and inter-actions with kids, Adams said in an e-mail.

They took everything he taught them and have taken some of their own ideas and made Scrappy a great collegiate mascot, he said.

When asked the best thing about being a college mascot, Scrappy 1 said, “ultimate freedom.”

“You can do whatever you want, to whoever … within reason of course,” Scrappy 1 said.

After Tuesday’s practice, most of the football players shed their jerseys and helmets and headed back to the locker room. Junior quarterback Chase Baine, however, remained on the field, sprinting back and forth from sideline to sideline.

Baine stayed out for some extra conditioning practice for Saturday’s game against Florida International. Last weekend, Baine made his first start in three years, racking up 157 yards of total offense.

“Adapting to the game speed was one thing I knew that was going to get me into it,” Baine said. “That’s the main thing I can take from [last week].”

The sixth game of the season for UNT (1-5, 1-2) has added signifi-cance, as Saturday’s game will be Homecoming for the Mean Green. UNT is 39-20-1 all time in its Homecoming games, but comes into Saturday’s game having lost its last three.

The last time the Mean Green won on Homecoming was in 2006 in a seven-overtime thriller against FIU (1-4, 1-0).

This weekend’s matchup will showcase two of the best defenses in the Sun Belt Conference. The Golden Panthers allow 351.8 yards per game, and UNT gives up 357.7 per contest, which is first and second in the conference, respec-

tively. “They’re just a very athletic

defense,” Baine said. “We’re just going to have to be physical with them, let them know we’re there, [and] bust them in the mouth.”

The Mean Green has done a better job of containing opposing offenses this season, allowing 26.7 points per game, the second

lowest in the conference. The anchors of the defensive line, senior defensive tackles Shavod Atkinson and Kelvin Jackson, have led a balanced UNT defense.

“It starts with those two guys in the interior,” head coach Todd Dodge said. “You want to stop the run first, but you don’t want to put your corners out on an island.”

A strong defense will be called upon to keep the Mean Green in Saturday’s contest. UNT has had trouble putting points on the scoreboard, averaging 18 points per game, seventh in the confer-ence.

The Golden Panthers, led by quarterback Wes Carroll, average 346.8 yards of offense per game

and rank fifth in the conference. Carroll has had trouble taking care of the football, throwing six interceptions compared to four touchdowns.

The large rash of injuries that has plagued the Mean Green poses another daunting task for UNT to overcome. Dodge is confi-dent that even with the replace-

The first battle between the UNT volleyball team and Louisiana’s two Sun Belt teams resulted in a home-opening sweep.

Now the Mean Green must repeat that success in its oppo-nents’ territory.

UNT (13-9, 5-2) will face off against Louisiana-Lafayette (12-8, 3-2) and Louisiana-Monroe (0-14, 0-5) for the second time this season after defeating both teams at the Mean Green Volleyball Center.

“It’s more difficult to beat a team again,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “They’ll have home court advantage and feel determined to beat us this time around.”

The Mean Green won its first five-set match on Tuesday against Denver to preserve its Sun Belt West division lead and is ahead of the second-place ULL Ragin’ Cajuns by two games.

“I’m sure Lafayette feels pretty good about being right behind us in the conference standings,” Murczek said. “They’re a tough team and we expect them to come out with a lot of motiva-tion again.”

In the two teams’ Oct. 1 meeting, UNT came back to upset ULL 4-1, handing the team its first conference loss.

The Mean Green out-killed the Ragin’ Cajuns 55-39 in the match as the defense held ULL down to a .099 hitting percentage.

Junior setter Kayla Saey worked with her teammates this week to fix errors and used their experience against ULL as an advantage.

“They’ve seen film on us and they know our weaknesses and where to serve,” she said. “Over the last few days we’ve prac-ticed serving short and gotten a lot better at it. We’re trying to terminate the ball better.”

Since then, the Ragin’ Cajuns have lost on the road to Denver (9-13, 3-5) and defeated the ULM Warhawks at home.

The Warhawks haven’t seen its share of success since its 3-0 loss to UNT on Oct. 3. ULM is now carrying a 70-game losing streak that dates back to 2006 to sit in dead last in the Sun Belt standings.

With a tournament win a nd second place f inish under its belt, t he UNT men’s golf team enters the f ina l tourna ment of t he fall looking to build on its success.

The Mean Green will travel to San Antonio to compete i n t he 2010 L one St a r Invitational on Monday and Sunday. The event, hosted by t he U T-Sa n A nton io Roadrunners, will be held at the Briggs Ranch Golf Club, which was designed by noted golf course archi-tect Tom Fazio.

“It’s probably going to have generous fair ways,” head coach Brad Stracke said. “The fairways will probably be 40 yards wide, then you’ll have 10 yards of rough and then you’ll have fescue. So if you have a big miss, you’re going to get penalized on that golf course.”

Out of the 12-team field at the Lone Star, Stracke named Houston and Notre Dame as the teams UNT will likely compete against for the team title. Houston opened the 2010-11 season with a fourth-place tie in the Notre Dame-hosted Fighting I r i sh Gr id i ron C la s sic . The Cougars improved in their second tournament, finishing the Cabo Collegiate 22 strokes behind first-place Arkansas for second place. Not re Da me sta r ted t he season with three second-place finishes. The Fighting Irish returned this season with juniors Max Scodro and Tom Usher, who were two of the three Fighting Irish to be named to the 2010 All-Big East men’s golf team.

UNT opened its season with a 21-stroke win at the UT-Arlington/Waterchase Invitational. The team came

close to earning consecutive team victories in the William Tucker Intercollegiate, but despite ending the first day with a four-stroke lead, fell one stroke shy of tying for first.

Despite missing out on two consecutive tournament tea m t it les, sophomores Curtis Donahoe and Carlos Ort iz each t ied for indi-vidual titles in their respec-tive tournaments. Donahoe earned his first individual t it le in t he Waterchase, shooting a 7-under par 209 in three rounds, while Ortiz produced a t hree-round score of 4-under par 212 to secure a tie for the WTI individual title, which was credited to an improved approach.

“I’m stronger mentally, and that’s really what you need to be in golf to get better,” Ortiz said. “Everybody can hit the ball here, but the guy that is mentally stronger than the others is the one who has success.”

Louisiana State sopho-more transfer Josh Jones turned in top-10 perfor-ma nces in bot h tourna-ments. Stracke mentioned Jones as one of the team leaders.

“I was obviously the new guy,” Jones said. “I wanted to come in here, keep my mouth shut and just lead by example.”

The Mean Green has had two weeks between the WTI, which was held Oct. 1 and 2, and the Lone Star Invite. The team has spent practices preparing to finish the fall on a high note and to avoid a repeat finish.

“We’ve been practicing stronger because we didn’t like finishing second,” Ortiz said. “This is the last tourna-ment this fall, so we want to make sure we win it.”

High-note ending ideal for men’s golf

ments, the offense will be able to execute and will play to the strengths of the players who will take the field on Saturday.

Junior running back Lance Dunbar, who averages 97 yards per contest, will be called upon to lead UNT’s rushing attack. The Mean Green averages 178.5 rushing yards per game, which is first in the conference.

Florida International’s running defense has been susceptible to the run, allowing 171.4 yards per game on the ground.

Dunbar believes he needs to rush for 100 yards on Saturday to give UNT a fighting chance. The large rash of injuries that has plagued the team all season has placed an extra burden on the star tailback.

“It just gives me opportunity to play better, make big runs and help the team out more,” Dunbar said.

A win would be more than welcome by the Mean Green, which has lost its last two games by a combined six points. Over the last three years, UNT is 1-11 in games decided by seven points or fewer.

“If anything, it gives us confi-dence,” Baine said. “We know we’re there. We know we can do it. We just have to cut out stupid mistakes that keep costing us games.”

Kickoff against FIU is at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Fouts Field.

the Warhawks 49-24 in the match, boasting a .304 hitting percentage over ULM’s .098.

“Monroe is always dangerous because they’re still seeking a win,” Murczek said. “We’re expecting them to do the same thing they did last time, which is play with an incredible amount of energy.”

UNT ranks third in the conference’s average hitting percentage leaderboards at .221 and second in average opponent

hitting percentage at .173. Saey’s average of 11.13 assists-per-set leads the Sun Belt.

“We’ve been talking about our brand lately: relentless defen-sive effort and good communi-cation,” Saey said. “If we can do those two things, we’ll be able to win these matches. As long as we go out and make plays with high energy, we’ll be able to take care of our side of the net and get the job done.”

ULL will host UNT at 7 p.m.

Friday in Lafayette, La., before the Mean Green travels north to face ULM at 5 p.m. Saturday in Monroe, La.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

majestic, purple tablecloth to accent the orange and green walls. A few of the tables are decorated with a bouquet of beautiful ruby red flowers to add even more color to the already lively room.

The service can be a little slow because there is one server, Noon Mills, who is also the co-owner of Siam House. She is incredibly friendly, and her entree recommen-dations are exceptional.

The menu is very cluttered with food items. Appetizers include authentic plates like pork and spring rolls, chicken potstickers, tofu curry

and cashew chicken. But the main treat at Siam is the Thai noodles.

The dish has a big and powerful taste. The noodles are great but very spicy. They come with a choice of grilled chicken, tofu

or fresh shrimp. Customers can then select what level of spiciness they prefer on their noodles. The spiciness ranges from mild to Hall of Flame to the hottest level Siam offers, Hot like Lenny Kravitz, which is level 7.

If customers don’t think their taste buds can handle the level 7, they can request a lower rank and ask for a cup of spice on the side.

The smell of the noodles will make anyone salivate. The aroma is a combination of all the flavors in the dish: garlic, chilis, lemongrass and chicken. The taste is even better.

Siam House

By AmBer Jones Intern

The wonderful Thai food at Siam House is even more vibrant and bold than the bright lime green and orange walls featured in the restaurant.

Siam House, which some call Siam of the Square, is located in downtown Denton off Hickory Street.

The atmosphere is cute and cozy. The tables are covered with a

The flavors almost contradict one another but definitely in a good way. The noodles taste sweet at first, and then the aftertaste kicks in with a warm and spicy flavor. Overall, they are perfection and do not need any additional flavoring.

Prices range from $7-$10, and

entrees can be a few dollars cheaper during lunch. Lunch hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and dinner begins at 5 p.m.

This weekend, break out of the dessert norm for blondies, a white chocolate spin on the brownie. This recipe uses cranberries and almonds for a tart, crunchy treat. These blondies require chopped white chocolate, so allow plenty of time for lots of chopping. For taller, bigger blondies, use a deep baking pan, such as a 13-by-9-inch pan and use a mixer to blend the ingredients. For an added spin, use macadamia nuts and choco-late chips. Ingredients:

- 2 sticks butter- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour- 1 teaspoon salt- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract- 3/4 cup chopped almonds- 1 cup dried cranberries- 3 eggs- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder- 8 ounces chopped white choc-

olate- Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line a baking pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.

Melt t he butter on low to med iu m heat for about 10 minutes or unti l it is golden brown. Remove from the stove

and let it cool.Combine salt, baking powder

and f lour in a large bowl and then add the melted butter and brown sugar.

Put the eggs in the bowl one at a time, mixing thoroughly until the combination has a caramel-like consistency. Add vanilla and stir.

Next, add flour, almonds, cran-berries and white chocolate and stir thoroughly until all the ingre-dients are blended together.

Scoop the sticky mixture into the baking pan, spreading it evenly to all corners of the pan.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Let it cool, then cut into pieces

and serve with a glass of milk.

The sound of cameras clicking and lights flashing quickly fades into the background as people gasp when they see the Dart Train slowly pull up to the station and come to halt.

The doors slide open as more than 4,700 pale-faced, tattered-clothed zombies crawl off the train and into the streets with blood dripping down the sides of their faces.

“The dead walk amongst the living” during Zombie Walk Dallas at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in down-town Dallas.

The event is free, open to all ages and will feature opportunities to help feed the hungry by making dona-tions to the North Texas Food Bank while making Deep Ellum, Dallas’s art district, come to life.

The walk will attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest zombie gathering in the

world. “Who needs vampires when you

have zombies,” said Crissy Seber, co-creator of the walk. “It’s like having ‘Dawn of the Dead’ come to life.”

It’s Alive!Kael Graham, co-creator, was

sitting in his home seven months ago when the video game he was playing and the Netflix marathon of zombie movies gave him the idea for the event.

“It was a spontaneous act of igno-rance and not thinking anything was going to come of it,” he said.

With Seber’s help, the duo created the initial idea to do something that was practical and appealing to people who enjoyed horror.

“We were lucky enough to find a cool location and demographic that would be down with it,” Graham said.

As the numbers grew and the event became intriguing to the masses, Graham and Seber turned their atten-tion to raising awareness for people to come together as a community and benefit the arts.

Zombie Walk Dallas organizers hope to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest zombie gathering in the world when the zombies gather tomorrow afternoon.

and everyone has gotten so involved to make this amazing thing happen,” Seber said. “It feels good, and we just want everyone to have that same experience.”

Allison Sellers, a history junior, said she believes Zombie Walk Dallas is a good time to dress up while serving a higher purpose.

“People should go to the walk and have a good time,” she said. “Seriously, how could you not enjoy running around with your fellow zombies?”

Zombie Survival GuideFor attendees taking the Dart

Train, exit at Good Latimer Street and Commerce Street. Parking is also located at various meters and lots around the district, according to the Zombie Walk Dallas website.

Zombie Walk Dallas hopes to raise at least $5,000 and receive large amounts of food donations for the North Texas Food Bank. Drop-off boxes will be located throughout local businesses on Elm Street, Main Street and Commerce Street, Seber said.

Codes of conduct like minding traffic rules and not touching one another are strictly enforced, Seber said.

Zombie headquarters is located at 2826 Arnetic on Elm Street. People can register at the sign-in table to assist in breaking the world record,

Seber said.Arnetic will host live entertain-

ment, drink specials and provide

zombie makeovers, said Shaun Reeder, the bar’s owner.

“People need to gather and meet new people of like minds, and out of those new connections arise events just like this,” Reeder said.

While Graham and Seber antici-pate meeting other people with the same tastes, they want people to visit Deep Ellum after the walk is over to continue supporting the district they both passionately care for.

“I’m really hoping people realize that Deep Ellum is a pretty rad place and not as scary or dangerous as urban legend makes it sound,” Graham said. “It’s a hub for artists to connect with each other. People should be experiencing that.”

Producing and delivering music is second nature to rapper Lil Wayne. Claimed to be “the hottest under the sun,” his newest album, “I Am Not a Human Being,” won’t be burning up his fans’ iPods or car stereos.

While this album is a vast improvement from his Fall Out Boy-meets-Run DMC experiment, “Rebirth,” Lil Wayne falls flat by the third song.

“Gonorrhea,” the opening track, plunges the listener right into Lil Wayne’s familiar stomping grounds. It kicks off with generic house party beats and has synchronized back-ground sounds, like sirens.

The song has quirky lyrics hashed throughout. Lil Wayne’s protegé, Drake, adds the signa-ture touch to send the track off the charts. Drake’s quick, sharp and

Canadian band Born Ruffians will hit Denton tonight with their pop songs and sing-a-longs, promoting their latest album “Say It.”

The band will take the stage at 9 p.m. at Hailey’s at 122 W. Mulberry St.

Tickets are $10 for 21 and older and $12 for under 21.

I spoke with lead singer and guitarist Luke Lalonde about touring highs and lows, old pop music and what’s next on the band’s to-do list.

Q: Do you all have any pre-show routines?

A: We have a few beers together and do some vocal stuff. We sing some songs together to get ourselves warmed up to the mood of the musical feelings. We also sing “Seven Bridges Road” by The Eagles or just one of our songs.

Born Ruffians front man talks touring, what’s next

Q: What did you all have in mind when you were recording your latest album “Say It?”

A: It seemed like we were in the mindset of writing more songs that

had a pop formula in mind. Not to sound generic but to have more prom-inent choruses. I think it’s just the kind of music we all like to listen to are really poppy songs. Not pop music

as in Top 40 stuff, but just great pop music over the last 40 or 50 years. We didn’t make an effort to change our sound in any way. It was all recorded with no Auto-Tune in the vocals or anything like that, so it’s all a very organic sounding record. A lot of that was just wanting to have a similar aesthetic to the first one.

Q: What kinds of pop music from the past few decades did you all have in mind?

A: Sort of the greatest hits of all time. Anything that gives me goose-bumps, that’s what really ultimately influenced me. A lot of rock stuff influenced this record, like David Bowie, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and The Talking Heads.

Q: What’s the best part about touring?

A: It’s all about the shows, and it’s all about the food. It becomes an

eating mecca. My day centers around when and what I’m going to eat. Food becomes the best part of your day, sort of. It’s also just a big road trip. When you’re with another band you really like, it’s just great. You just kind of hang out with friends every night. But to me, it ultimately always comes down to food, like “What are we going to eat for dinner?”

Q: So where do the Born Ruffians go from here?

A: I guess just release something that reaches more people. What we’ve had is really great, and we’re really happy with what’s going on now, but it would be great to release something that reaches more people. Not inten-tionally create a record that’s really boring that we have a lot of people into it, but create something so great that it catches people’s attention. We want to play bigger shows at more places in the world we haven’t done yet.

undeniable sense of f low steals the show.

In the middle of the record, “W hat’s Wrong With Them,” features the Harajuku fashionista Nicki Minaj. It is her most promi-nent breakout track. Her chorus and robot-like vocals add that desper-ately needed extra kick. Wayne shows that his rhyming skills are still unstoppable, but it’s his mono-tone voice and lack of enthusiasm that tempt listeners to skip over to the next song.

The album does not lack the usual Wayneisms. His confine-ment in Rikers Island jail hasn’t kept him from talking about his

explicit experiences. It’s not that Lil Wayne doesn’t have excellent mate-rial, but it isn’t given the justice it deserves.

Finishing out the destructive series of songs is “Bill Gates.” Wayne brings into focus the dilemma he’s been facing the entire album: His creative ingeniousness has stopped him from producing good music.

The track is unlike anything heard from Lil Wayne before, and not in a good way. The song is slow, repetitive and a waste of time. Again, he teams up with other Cash Money Label artists on this track who try one last attempt to persuade listeners to give the

album another try, but it’s a lost cause.

The only thing that keeps “I Am Not a Human Being” from completely crashing and burning are three distinctive songs, all featuring the man who has become Lil Wayne’s own Frankenstein: Drake. Drake continues to shine and produces lines in this album that won’t put his fire out anytime soon.

“I Am Not a Human Being” isn’t a

bad album because of the featured artists, but because Lil Wayne decided not to show up.

While the album collects a diverse group of musicians, this isn’t “NOW that’s What I Call Music, Vol. 45.”

This album was created by a man who has beaten every odd against him and yet, listeners will find themselves questioning if he’s really just an ordinary human being after all.

Luke Lalonde, Steve Hamelin, Mitch DeRosier and Andy Lloyd of the Born Ruffians will make their second appearance in Denton at 9 p.m. tonight at Hailey’s.

With the temperatures drop-ping to 70 degrees, it’s easy to say that fall has arrived, not only with the weather, but with new fashion trends. So start bringing out the warm sweaters, boots and trench coats because ready or not, fall is here.

Women’s fashionWomen no longer have to

completely wipe out their closet and buy fall clothing. They can simply incorporate that cute summer dress or the floral prints into a fall wardrobe.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, designers like Ralph Lauren are featuring darker f loral prints in their fall 2010 collections.

For a more wearable look, try

Men, women turn toward fall trendsOpinion buying a black

floral skirt from Wet S e a l for about $19 and pair it up with black tights, a tank top and a cardigan.

Ne v e r f e a r t h e i m p a c t tights have on an outfit. Black opaque t ights are a staple in a woman’s ward-robe.

They can be paired with city shor t s, sk i r t s a nd d r e s s e s , and can go for a b ou t $ 7 a t Target.

Staying warm doesn’t mean a wardrobe has to be dull and boring.

Rue 21 offers a nu mber of different styles, pat ter ns a nd colors in coats. T h e b i g g e s t trend that has hit 2010 is the military jacket. In black or navy blue, women can easily pair up the military jacket up with a belt or keep it unbuttoned for around $30 at Rue 21.

If a military jacket or trench c o a t i s t o o heavy for their

liking, a simple cardigan will help keep them warm. Cardigans can be paired with just about anything and can be dressed up or down. If cardigans are too boring, try a faux-fur vest for $25 at Gap.

Women also must have at least one pair of boots. Boots, f lat or high-heeled, scream fall.

Men’s fashionMen should ditch the

flip-flops and the old, worn-out T-shirts and go for the more trendy stylings of fall.

Layers are key here, so pair the sweater up with a cardigan or mili-tary-style jacket, which can be found at Old Navy for $35.

If men are more hot-natured, just roll up the sweater until the sleeves are about quar-ter-length.

They can also try a simple black leather jacket, which can be found at JCPenney for about $70 (hey, it’s real leather!).

A n o t h e r simple basic t hat look s great with a V-neck is a vest.

P a i r i t up w ith a favorite tie and jeans or a cool new blazer.

Pla id i s the signature pattern for fall, and the flannel defi-nitely keeps in warmth

when having to trek across campus on a late, cool night. American Eagle has a variety of plaid shirts at about

$30. For something a little cheaper, try Walmart’s, which are priced at $10.

Now for those worn-out, faded jeans – get rid of them. Dark-colored khakis are in.

If men wear light khakis, it’ll look like they just pulled something out of their summer wardrobe, so stick to dark colors. Gap carries a number of wrinkle-resistant dark khakis for $50.

Last but not least, who says men shouldn’t wear scarves? In fact, they’re fall fashion’s signature accessory. Old Navy carries warm, chunky knitted scarves for $15. Stick to the basic fall colors like dark green, dark grey, black or cream.

So, just because summer has ended doesn’t mean fashion sense has to. Just stick to the basics.

Required Reading: Stephen King edition

Slobberbone reunites to play for Homecoming

By Nicole laNdryContributing Writer

It’s Week three of the Halloween-style Required Reading, and the dial on the spook-o-meter is ever climbing.

As Halloween draws nearer and the balconies of my apartment complex begin to display skulls, spider webs and one very creepy mannequin head, I felt it appropriate to amp up the scary and give Daily readers some trick for their treat.

These stories hail from the highly acclaimed Stephen King, winner of several Bram Stoker Awards – a huge honor in the literary horror community – and his collection of short stories, “Nightmares and Dreamscapes.”

These two stories, “Suffer the Little Children” and “Popsy,” will surely add to horror lovers’ reverence of the King or make those experiencing their first taste of his works – like myself – find

a new author to follow. But if you’ve got kids at home, you

may want to stop reading.

“Suffer the Little Children”Miss Sidley teaches the third

grade, and she doesn’t take kindly to nonsense.

With a back brace and an uncanny ability to know exactly what’s happening at every moment, her students rarely try to pull a fast one on her. She is, in a word, scary.

But she doesn’t scare little Robert, who sits in the front row with the smallest of smiles and a hint of some-thing terrible in his eyes, a something that shakes Miss Sidley to her core when she catches a glimpse of it.

And soon it finds its way into the hearts – and eyes – of all her students, all the while telling Miss Sidley that there’s nothing she can do, no one she can turn to.

But she’s got an idea that no one

could have seen coming.Boys and girls, if that’s what you

still are, it’s time for a little chat between you, Miss Sidley and a gun.

“Popsy”Briggs Sheridan steals kids.He drives a black van with windows

that make it impossible to tell what, or who, is inside it and he hangs out at malls, looking for the people Mr. Wizard sends him to get.

If only he hadn’t accrued such a large debt to Mr. Reggie while playing cards. Then he wouldn’t have ended up this way. He wouldn’t have to avoid thinking about what Mr. Wizard does with the kids after taking them on a boat ride.

Today, he’s been sent to pick up a lost little boy around 5 or 6, and he finds one right away. This kid is crying – pink tears – because he has lost his “Popsy.”

Denton band Slobberbone is getting back together to play at the Mean Green Village tailgating celebration Saturday before the Homecoming football game.

Slobberbone’s performance will be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the UNT stage.

“This is our first time to play the Homecoming,” lead vocalist for the band Brent Best said. “It’s cool to be asked because we all went to school here and lived here. I’ve lived in Denton 22 years, and the town means a lot to me.”

The band was formed in1992 and consisted of guitarist and vocalist Brent Best, lead guitarist Jess Barr, bassist Brian Lane and drummer Tony Harper.

According to its fan page on Facebook, the band is named after a dog chew toy, and members began their musical careers in hot pursuit

of free beer. Slobberbone’s first gig was about as low-key as it gets, hosted inside a local liquor store.

“I like Slobberbone’s sound, but I really like Brent Best’s songwriting. It’s a one-two punch of whiskey-soaked southern rock,” library and information sciences graduate student Patrick McLeod said.

Its first album, “Crow Pot Pie,” was released independently in 1994 and was re-released in 1996, featuring four new songs, according to the band’s MySpace page.

After the release of the first album, the band was signed by Doolittle Records founder Jeff Cole and went on to release four albums in succession, according to the group’s Facebook page.

A series of tours spanning 10 years were in order for the group as fans caught scent of the beer-soaked Slobberbone sound.

Sheridan doesn’t care who he’s lost as long as he can get him into the van.

But he begins to realize that this kid isn’t normal, with his sickly complexion and unnatural strength. However, Sheridan doesn’t want to

think about what is causing this.At least, not until Popsy lands in

front of the van and teaches Sheridan a thing or two about stealing his grandson – a grandson who simply wanted something to drink and is about to get it.

on song, amongst other things, then there’s something wrong with you,” website editor for the group Jenn Bryant said in an e-mail. “I was in love by the middle of the first song, and I’ve loved them ever since.”

Slobberbone returned to Denton for its final shows in March of 2005, bringing the band back to where it began as just a little pup.

Slobberbone members Best, Barr and Harper have since gone on to play in a new band, The Drams,

which captures Slobberbone’s sound and takes it to a new level with rock-driven vocal harmo-nies.

“It’s going to be just the four of us getting together here in town, and playing is special for us because the rest of the guys live in Dallas and Fort Worth, and a couple of them have kids, so it’s a little tougher to pull off unless we’re going on tour or something,” Best said.

Even horror writer extraordi-naire Stephen King is a fan.

In his column in Entertainment Weekly, posted July 31, 2003, King wrote:

“Ask me to name the greatest rock and roll song of all time and I have to say it’s a three-way tie between Slobberbone’s ‘Gimme Back My Dog,’ Count Five’s ‘Psychotic Reaction,’ and Elvis Costello’s ‘What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love and Understanding.’”

The Jackass boys are back, and this time in 3-D. Director Jeff Tremaine boasts of applying the same cine-matic technology used in films like “Avatar” to the raging hi-jinks of the human crash dummies.

The show’s original face man Johnny Knoxville and Tremaine sat down together for a phone interview with the Daily.

Jackass 3D crashes into theaters nationwide today.

Q: What do you think the 3-D format will add to the movie expe-rience?

A: Tremaine: It feels like you’re right in the middle of a stunt or prank with us. It really elevated the movie to

a whole other level. Like, this bit, “The Beehive Tetherball,” we’re playing tetherball with a beehive, and it feels like 50,000 bees are swarming around the theater or around your head. It really – it really works in 3-D.

A: Knoxville: And it just makes a dumb idea even dumber.

Q: Is there anything that takes this movie above and beyond where the other two were?

A: Knoxville: We give each other hell, but you can really feel how close we are. And really, we think that naturally elevates the stunts and pranks in each film, not super-consciously, but just it takes a little more to make us laugh.
