Café gets charity from campus concert

A concert benefiting Jubilee Café tonight will feature three local bands, and 100 percent of the profit will go toward the cafe.
ABOVE, Cameron Casady, Lawrence freshman, looks on as bandmate Nick Garret, Burlington freshman, raps some of his lyrics during the Battle of the Halls last night. Both are members of a four-piece band called Seven South, named after the floor and wing they live on in McCollium Hall. The band took second place and won the biggest fan support and a Nintendo Wii for their residence hall.
LEFT, Megan Paillet, Olashe freshman, performs an original song at the Battle of the Halls music competition. The audience voted Pasley the winner of the six-sat act, which got her the $100 first prize.

that's disgusting HOLIDAY EDITION
Like trimming the tree, hanging the mistletoe or countless other holiday traditions, many or us still put out holiday dishes without ever asking, "why?" Well, maybe after seeing what goes into those seasonal treats, you'll think twice about what you serve.
A four-and-a-half star recipe from allrecipes.com says the two main ingredients in eggplant are six eggs and a quart of milk. If dishing up Rocky Balboa's favorite workout drink to your guest isn't gross enough, imagine gulping some down after it's been sitting in the punch bowl all night. No wonder people started adding alcohol.
Mincemeat pie is another highly rated holiday tradition on the Allrecipes Web site, which is apparently where taste buds go to die. It calls for cooked beef, chopped apples, raisins, pickle juice, pineapple juice and an orange all to be stuffed into a steaming pile of pie. Yummy.
Then comes the shining star atop the Christmas tree of holiday foods: the fruitcake. According to Peggy Trowbridge Flippone at about.com, an ingredient that is commonly substituted for dried fruit is citron, a pretty name for the rinds or peels of citrus fruits. So, basically the parts of the orange and lemon that everyone throws away are baked right into a big leaf along with nuts and raisins. This just goes to show that sometimes a bad reputation is rightly deserved.
So, if you'd rather spend the holidays with your family instead of barfing in the bathroom, this year might be a good time to break tradition.

PAWS OFF YOUR PIMPLES
As you prep to put your best face forward at holiday get-togethers, you may be tempted to lean toward the mirror, take aim and pinch any pisy pins peppering your skin. "People experience a psychological satisfaction in popping their pimples," says Nanette Liegeois, assistant professor of dermatology at John Hopkins University. But though it's rewarding to show that pinkish protusion who's boss, a no-popping policy is best if you're looking to perfect your skin for the long term. "You do get a little relief on the skin at first," Liegeois says. "But about two to three weeks later, the scar tissue you've created
plug up the pores underneath it
and the cycle starts all over again." The poppin' process is also unsanitary. Liegeois says your fingers or the tools you use to pop a pup can easily insert bacteria into your skin that cause more pimples. So, to cure the pimples you have and prevent future ones, Liegeois recommends skincare products like Meridian (www.skinbymeridian.com), which hydrate skin rather than drying it out. But no matter what regimen you choose, Liegeois says to choose one that's easy to stick to, because the key to great skin is a consistent routine.
