It's the day we've all been waiting for: we can sweep up the rose pedals, stop reblogging spiteful "woe is the single life" posts on Tumblr, and breathe a sigh of relief. Valentine's Day is over which means it is officially time to get back to neglecting our loved ones. But before we revert to our careless ways, let's take a look at how Parkside handled Valentines Day as a whole. While the holiday has its own religious and mythical beginnings, Valentines Day is generally regarded as a hokey, pretentious holiday created by evil Hallmark masterminds to weed out singles and guilt couples into appreciating one other. Ladies are known to overreact over gifts (or lack thereof) and guys are notorious for failing to deliver. Because of the range of attitudes toward the holiday, many are left confused by questions such as, "What do I get her? and "How much should I spend on him?" When surveyed, 58% of ladies revealed that if asked what they wanted for Valentine's Day, they would reply, "nothing." Despite this, 50% of women would feel "hurt, unloved, or upset" if their significant other took this answer literally. The rest of the females who were polled insisted that their partner's money "would be spent better elsewhere" or that they would be "glad they didn't waste money on this joke of a holiday." The fellas, on the other hand, were far more deceptive. Although 80% of men would tell their partner that they wanted nothing, a whopping 60% claimed they, too, would feel hurt if their gals failed to get them a small token on the big day. When it came to presents, girls proved to have far more expensive tastes. While 90% of men would expect a gift under ten dollars (assuming they are expecting one at all), only 42% of women would be happy with a gift on that cheap of a benchmark. 50% of ladies expected a gift between ten and thirty dollars, and the remaining 8% wanted to see a gift worth forty to fifty dollars. • In the end, it seemed that men were more likely to bite the bullet and go gift shopping, regardless of what their partners ask. Only 67% of girls would get their date a present even if they did not want one, while 90% of guys would still give presents despite their ladies declining. So there you have it, the true meaning of Valentine's Day. Most of us blatantly rebuff the thought of presents to our partners' faces, while secretly hoping they will read between the lines and still shower us with affection. Next Valentines Day, perhaps err on the side of presents, rather than taking your date's dismissive attitude at face value. It couldn't hurt. It looks like the Hallmark people still have us right where they want us. Ecu Tips It I Tuesday, Feb. 12 marked the beginning of the 11th annual Chili and Soup Cook-Off at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The main square of Wyllie near the library was bustling with a mix of students, chili and soup chefs, and chili enthusiasts alike. The cook-off began promptly at 11:30am and this reporter went to work, questioning those involved in between spoonfuls of chili and soup. The cook-off is sponsored by the Parkside Employee Alumni Group (PEAG) and has been for the last 11 years. The PEAG was asking for $3 for a bowl that you could fill with a chili or soup of your choice, or $5 for five sample cups, which allows you to try a variety of the well-made soups and chilies available. The proceeds from the event are used to benefit a variety of UWParkside scholarships, allowing anyone feasting on the goods to feel positive about stuffing themselves with a delicious mix of chili and soup, which is exactly what this reporter did. Peggy Karls, the chairperson of this event, was present at the cook-off and provided some information on the event for anyone that may not have known the details. When the first cook off took place, it was held on Valentines Day and was given the title, "Sweet Heart Burn." At the time it was only chili that could be entered into the cook off, so the name was fitting. It \^s not until four years ago that the cook off allowed soups into the event, and since the crowds seem to like the mix, they keep soup a part of the cook-off. Since the inaugural cook-off, the day of the event has alternated. Sometimes it will take place on Valentines Day, and other times it will take place during Mardi Gras on Fat Tuesday, as it did this year. So whether you are looking for the sweet heart burn, or just to get fat on chili and soup on Fat Tuesday, you will not be disappointed. Karls also pointed out that the event usually hosts 18 to 20 See Chili Cook-Off, page 3 Photos by: Ray Pajarillo Top photo: Guests line up to enjoy multiple varieties of soup and chili.

My name is Maggie, and I'm the new Editor-inChief of the Ranger News. I'm so excited to be doing this. Print media is my favorite thing in the world, or second favorite, closely behind burritos. Regardless, it's very important to me. I plan on revamping the paper and making it something completely kick-butt that everyone is excited for every other week. I'm sure we'll all be great friends, and I hope you dig the content! If you see me in the hallway or the office sometime, you should definitely come say hi. It's our first issue of the semester, so right now we're hanging out in the office. We've got some good music going, we're eating some donuts, and the paper is coming along swimmingly. Production days are some of the most fun during the semester. It's very rewarding to see something you work so hard on transform right before your eyes, sort of like child birth. Its a lot less painful though, unless your computer crashes. Then I'd say it's about the same. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day. If you didn't, at least it's over now and you won't have to deal with it for another year. Next year I'll be all of your Valentines.

Curious on how these delicious concoctions are dged? Karls informed me that the panel of judges is ad| up of he t previous year's winners and also some irefully selected staff members. Together they try all r the chilies and soups and decide a first and second .ace winner for each category. The winners of this year's cook-offwere announced ter the judges had their fill, under the chili category, ad place went to John Standard for his Veggie Black ean Chili" and first place to the man with a chili so ficy it should be eaten with caution, Matthew Maarios for his "All Pig Crime Scene Chili." For first lace Makarios walked away with the coveted Ladle nd a seat at the judges table for next year. As for the soup category, Jeannine Brokmeier had a monopoly on it, taking both 1 st and 2nd place with two soups she had at the cook-off. Her "Seafood Chowder" was the 2nd place soup, and her very delicious "Heather s Bailout: Pizza Soup" took the 1st place trophy, the coveted. Soup Bowl, and she will also be joining Makarios on the judges panel next year. Now if you are wondering how to enter your chili or soup masterpiece into this cook-off, don't start buying ingredients and practicing to perfection just yet. Because of liability issues, students cannot enter their chili or soup into the cook off. However, if you're graduating this semester or next, the cook-off is open to aiumni, as well as staff. In that case, feel free to start practicing because this reporter will return next year to, yet again, fill up on what was a truly delicious feast of both chili and soup. • : I Computer Science professor Tim Knautz working on his chili.

First up on the court was the women's team who lost their last game with the Knights 66-60 on January 17. This was not the case this game. The first half was led by the Rangers with Jenna Endisch, number 31, making three threepointers as well as number 22, Tara Knapstein. By halftime, the Rangers were leading with a ten point lead that they did not let go of. The second half was no different with Jaleesa Trussel contributing several points as well as rebounds. The Rangers defense kept the opposing team from beating the shot clock without drawing too many fouls. The closest the Knights came to catching the Ranges was by five points in the second half. At the sound of the final buzzer the Rangers won 70-45. The women's team will end their regular season home slate this Thursday at 5:30 against Saint Joseph's. Next up was the mens team who dominated the court. Jeremy Saffold, number 34, was on fire throughout the game with four three-pointers alone in the first half. Conrad Krutwig brought his top game as well with almost 20 points and three rebounds. At half time the Rangers were up by ten points.The Knights had been on a three game winning streak but the Rangers put an end to that. The Knights did come close to tying up the game near the end of the second half but the Rangers stayed two points ahead at all times with the final score being 74-72. This is the eighth straight victory for the Rangers who will finish their regular home slate on Thursday against Saint Joseph's at 7:30. Photos of the mens basketball game taken by: Ray Pajarillo. The Ranger News February 19,2013 February 19, 2013 The Ranger News 5 ^ • " "SI H . ntertainmrient Tyler Comstock comst004@uwp.edu In theaters and DVD release picks of the week Bond fans get real present in the form of Sky fall On all of these subjects, Skyfall does not disappoint. The movie is grand in scale. It takes the audience to Hong Kong, Macau, the Highlands in Scotland, London, and other highly visual landscapes. The fight scenes are filmed back so that we can fully witness the physical prowess and intense hand-to-hand combat, while not losing who is who in tightly framed shots. Skyfall presents one of the most beautiful fight sequences I have seen, which takes place in the shadows of a Hong Kong skyscraper. The villain, Silva, played by Javier Bardem, is the perfect mixture of cold and calculated while blending in a little mischievousness and flamboyancy. Bardem When Daniel Craig took the role of James Bond over from Pierce Brosnan, directors knew that they needed to take the series in a different direction. Yeah, maybe it was cool in the 90 s to have outlandish sequences involving invisible cars and exploding pens, but the creators and Craig knew that this Bond needed to be different. The Bond that we have today evolved from a silly, suave secret agent into a rugged, visceral killer without a real hint of remorse, only the desire to do what is right for Queen and country. Skyfall is the latest film in the series following a true gem, Casino Royale, and a not so fantastic, Quantum of Solace. The film opens with yet another great chase scene that feels very much like Casino Royale's parkour opening except with motorcycles. Quickly it is made known that Bond is chasing a man holding a hard drive that has a list of secret agent's names and identities on it. The sequence ends on a train where another MI6 operative "takes the shot" and ends up hitting Bond instead of the target. This sequence of events leads to the destruction of MI6 and Bond resurrects himself to take care of business. James Bond films have a history of large set pieces, intense fight scenes, and great villains. See Skyfall, page 6 Django Unchained gets Tarantino back on track Tyler Comstock comst004@uwp.edu Django Unchained centers itself around its main character, Django, played by Jamie Foxx. Django is a recently sold slave when bounty hunter Dr. Schultz, played by the Academy Award-winning Christoph Waltz, finds him. Schultz seeks out Django to gain knowledge about a group of men that Schultz is to kill for bounty. When the doctor acquires Django, he finds out that Django has a wife and he was sold separately away from her for punishment. Dr. Schultz gives Django his freedom and, in exchange, wants help identifying his next bounty and ultimately ends up helping Django to find his wife's whereabouts. The film is written and directed by the great Quentin Tarantino, who also directed films such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and, more recently, Inglorious Bastards. He really is a director unlike any other who likes to take genres, mix them together, and then turn them on their heads. In Django Unchained, the viewer receives a film in the era of slavery that is a very brutal western. It's action-packed, and it still somehow gets you to crack a smile and possibly even have a chuckle or two. I constantly found myself asking, "Should I be laughing at this?" and consistently cross-referencing the comedic elements with my own moral compass. Nevertheless, the film achieves the ability to focus on horrific, dramatic moments but then cleanses the viewer's pallet with a great comedy bit. Tarantino also has a writing style that is very unique. He builds tension with conversation, long conversation. A perfect example was Inglorious Bastards. There were multiple scenes in that particular film that drag on for close to twenty minutes. Yes, they successfully build tension, but ultimately end in a thirty second gun fight where everyone dies. It's a style that you're either going to love or hate. Django Unchained has much less drawn out conversation and more in the action department. The action is visceral and the amount of blood is a bit over the top, like most other Tarantino movies. Although bloody, the film has some amazing shootouts in which Django thrives as a character with witty oneliners and some fast and fancy gunplay. The film is also not as compartmentalized as some of Tarantino's other films. The director is focused on Django and Dr. Schultz the entire film, instead of leaving to focus on other characters and returning to the main plot, and that is what makes the film thrive. Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz have great chemistry together. Almost all of the actors in the film deliver Oscar worthy performances. Jamie Foxx's characterization of Django really transforms the character from a scared slave to a blood thirsty mercenary out for revenge. Christoph Waltz is possibly the best supporting actor working in the business right now and will probably win another Oscar for his German accented doctor bounty hunter. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Monsieur Candy, the owner of Django's wife. He is severely overshadowed by Christoph Waltz, but gives arguably one of the best performances of his career. One of the best parts of the film is the cameos that lend to the comedic relief. People like Don Johnson and Jonah Hill are in the funniest scene of the film where the Ku Klux Klan are trying to perform a raid on Django and the doctor but no one can see because none of the holes in their hoods are aligne Photo credit: impavrards.com with their eyes. The worst acting in the film comes from the director himself, Quentin Tarantino, who performs possibly the worst Australian accent I have ever heard. Overall, the film is filled with intense action and entertaining adventure that is never spoiled by bad acting or other poor performances. Tarantino is one of those directors that you expect to see something great from. In my opinion, he dropped the ball with Inglorious Bastards, but picked it right back up with Django Unchained. Besides the iffy acting here and there and some of the questionable humor choices, the film is fantastic and Tarantino lovers out there, like myself, are going to love it. Plan to here a lot more about this movie as Oscar season approaches. February 19, 2013 The Ranger News Foreig O n film On x ce Upon a Time in Anatolia is one all audiences should appre . , J T . 1 David Haight haigh003@uwp.edu For American audiences, foreign films likely draw out a lengthy sigh. The thought of a foreign film kills a lot of conversations for general audiences in cinemas because they have the horrid stigma of being dull, overly complex, and let's not forget that they are probably in a completely different language, which means we have to read. So why would we sit through a film like Nuri Bilge Ceylans Once Upon a Time in Anatolia? Because it is a look into the lives we, as general audience members, like to ignore. Anatolia is a film revolving around a single evening and morning in the lives of several police officers and a murderer. But it isn't the chase we think we'll get. No, it's a film about that murderer leading the police to the dumping site of a body. Interested? You shoul d be. It's a film that gives us a glimpse into the lives these men, specifically Naci, the police chief; Doctor Cemal, the medical examiner; and the prosecutor, who functions like a DA. This seemingly ragtag group of men, aided by a number of other law enforcement officers, scour the lands of Anatolia looking for the body of a murdered man in the middle of the night, among hills that look exactly the same no matter where they go. What we see in these men is the great division between our two cultures. They reside on the furthest edge of AsiaTurkey. Their resources are nothing like ours, and we watch as they do their work with all the patience in the world, but with a determination and duty that is endearing. The nighttime camera work is not only stunning, but it helps us understand how impossible the task of finding the body is and how unwavering the men are in their search. It's a look into a culture we don't often see examined. Despite the work they have to do, the men still manage to sneak in conversaPhoto credit: blogspot.com tions about bread, lamb, honey, and their kids moving off in to other countries, leaving them behind. They talk about being broke, wanting to keep to their old customs, simple things like fixing a cemetery wall, and building a nice morgue so family members can pay their respects to their family member's body before they bury them, weighing the pros and cons of it all. It shows a certain hospitality, even among the murderers. Though friendly, gifts of honey, silly arguments about fixing villages, and discussions about how other people think differently but manage to smile and act cordial, are all oddly dramatic elements in Anatolia because it's something so out of the ordinary for us. It's apparent that this Turkish film isn't like the American films we send around the workl It has a dramatic element that we will not find here in the states. The cars are of random makes, the docare ill-equipped to deal with autopsies, and the justice of revenge is still a means of punishment. In terms of social conventions and technologies, this is a vastly different culture. The new generation leaves the old world in hopes of a better, more modern life elsewhere, one where the electricity doesn't die for no reason. The doctor's offices cannot properly perform simple medical tasks. The police cannot properly transport criminals or evidence. It's a 180-degree turn from our own society. It's a completely different culture that relies on religion, community, and tradition. Its wholesome, but foreign all the same. Anatolia is a slow-paced film, which is not necessarily a detraction as it's pace is what makes it work, showing us how they're system works and how haphazard a lot of the procedural activities are. But then we see just how similar we can be: our interpersonal relationships, our love lives, our responsibilities, and our regrets. But the film does drag on. At a two-and-a-half hour run time, it does, in fact, feel like two-and-a-half hours, and even some of the most intense scenes still feel long. Luckily, n othing feels drawn out, but it does, on occasion, feel like a chore getting through certain moments in the film. Contradiction? Yes. But in all honesty, Anatolia is a beautifully shot, craftily made, well-acted film about a different culture incredibly far removed from our own, but still with the same humanity that we come to expect from our best dramatic films. Anatolia deserves our attention, if only because it has beautiful photography and an exposure to a vastly different culture than our own. Photo credit: adventureamigos.net Skyfall: a film to add to your collection shines as one of the best villain actors working today. His character is fueled by torture and betrayal and is on his path to revenge. The mixture of these elements is what helps make Skyfall stand out among the rest of the Bond movies. Among the rest of Craig's Bond movies lies a very odd pacing compared to most other action films. The movie is non-stop excitement with a break in the middle to introduce the main villain of the piece. This normally would not be an issue, but the movie feels like it contains multiple climaxes. It also has maybe one too many near miss scenarios, in which the audience believes that Bond has captured the villain, but the villain is able to nearly escape. When the third act finally comes to a close, though, Skyfall bows out with some western flair and a heart-wrenching last stand. Other than the slight off-putting nature of the pacing, the film is by far one of the best Bond films of all time and a great spy thriller in general. For Bond's 50th birthday, audiences got a present in the form of Skyfall. 7 Baconfest hits Milwaukee for second straight year Sarah Savage sav agO 16 @ u wp .edu Sunday marked the secondannual Baconfest held in The Garage, located at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Mdwaukee. The event was sponsored by the local radio station 102.9 The Hog, and featured over twenty different vendors. Having had the opportunity to attend both last year's fest as well as this years, I had somewhat of an idea what to expect. The fest sold out very quickly as there were only one thousand tickets available during a very short window of time, the whole thing only lasted from noon to 3 p.m. We got there a little after noon (parking was not a problem) and waited a short time in line before actually entering the building. Once inside the place was a mad house. It was bacon overload as soon as you walked through the doors. Not only were there strips of different flavored bacon being offered up as samples, there was so much more. I think the most unusual thing that I tried was a jalapenobacon wrapped fig, served up by Racine's Danny's Meats, located on the corner of Charles and 4 mile. The Chancery was also there featuring their bacon and deviled-egg Bloody Mary's, ID required of course. The Motor Bar and Restaurant that is located inside the Museum had a very unique jalapeno-cheddar biscuit topped with a cranberry chutney and caramelized bacon. The flavors complemented each other surprisingly well. Blue Moon had a taste testing of five different beers, from a gingerbread- to a chocolate mint stout. There was mac&cheese with bacon, pizza with bacon, BLT dip, pulled pork with bacon, fried cheese with bacon and habanero peppers. This was all on the outside of the loop. On the inside of the loop I found homemade potato chips covered with cheese, bacon, green onions and sour cream. Next to that booth was bacon wrapped meatballs and smoked prosciutto and arugula sandwiches. Near the end is where I found the chocolate ice cream with bacon bits, made by Scoop De Ville, something I was leery to try last year but am so very glad I did this year, simply fantastic! The last booth was the only place I bought anything at, Alio Chocolat makes both dark and milk chocolate covered bacon bits and they were so good that I bought a bag of each of them. Once we had had our fill of the samples we walked across the street to the museum to take our free tour that was included in our twenty dollar entrance fee to Baconfest. The food was fantastic and the price was definitely right considering that a normal entrance fee into the Harley-Davidson Museum is sixteen dollars by itself. With that being said there were a few things that I had hoped would be different from last year. Now I know better than to go to Baconfest in Wisconsin and expect it not to be packed, but, the layout of the booths and the lack of tables left the crowd spiraling into chaos. Apparently "cutting in line" is still, a very real problem, even in the adult world. The lack of tables created a bigger issue than one would expect. You can't walk, collect random samples and hold your drink while trying to navigate through a sea of bacon addicts. I counted eight tall round tables that could fit maybe four people around them, for a c rowd of one thousand people. This was something I had hoped would be different than last year. There was also a pretty decent band playing last year. My biggest issue was the limited space and time for a large crowd of people. Being a whole sixty-two inches tall I had a very hard time getting around in the crowd or even being able to see who was cooking what. I would like to be able to tell you who made the delicious bean and bacon tostada that I ate, but I couldn t get close enough to read who was preparing the dish. Hopefully as the years go by it will only improve because all in all, you're getting a pretty good deal for the twenty dollar cover charge that includes over twenty different free samples as well as the pass to the museum. It was certainly an experience and I'm sure I'll be back next year.

As students, E-books, online databases, and laptops are part of our everyday lives. As a Western society, cell phones, TVs, and gaming systems are just a few of the electronics furnishing our homes. Technology is an everexpanding field, but what happens when our electronics become outdated or broken? In today's technology-centered society, it is necessary that we know how to handle all of our electronic waste, or E-waste. Americans go through electronics like computers every 18-24 months, and 50 million cell-phones are replaced worldwide every month. This staggering amount of electronic goods can only be surpassed by the number of electronics that are not properly refurbished, recycled, or reused. As Americans, we dump 80% of our E-waste in landfills. This is concerning not only because electronics contain many parts and materials that can be reused, but because computers and other electronics contain toxins such as lead, which can cause damage to the blood and nervous systems. E-waste comprises 12% of trash, but represents about 70% of overall toxic waste in landfills. Throwing away electronics is hazardous. It is important that we know how to counteract this current trend of irresponsibility. Reduce - I don't know about you, but my cell phone doesn't break every six months. The upgrade? Keep it until you really need it. Also, avoid leaving electronics running. Powering down and unplugging your laptop instead of leaving it in "standby" mode will make your laptop battery last longer. When you bring your phone to school, turn it off while you are in class. This will lengthen the phone's life and thus the time between phone upgrades. Reuse-* *• JSm'mSm Internet sites like craigslist.com and ebay.com make it easy to find pre-used electronics. If you're hesitant about buying from an individual, refurbished electronics are sold at almost all big retailers with the same return policy as brand-new electronics. Universities and libraries will sometimes have discounted electronics for sale when they get their equipment upgraded, as well. And don't forget to check your local thrift stores! ; Of course, recycling is a must. When you do buy that refurbished electronic, make sure your old one is properly recycled (or reused!). Best Buy stores take any and all of your small electronics for recycling, regardless of where you purchased them. Some Best Buy locations even offer store Credit for recycled goods. For larger items, check e-stewards. org or run an internet search for responsible recyclers. Many electronics are exported to countries with little regulation on E-waste, and so are handled irresponsibly. Always check that your recycling site is dealing with their electronics responsibly. While it is easy to forget about what happens to our old cell phones and printers when we are done with them, it is important to remember the harm that these castaway electronics can do and do our part to ensure that they are dealt with properly. So when you're buying your sixth iPhone, remember that there are many options for recycling and reusing E-waste. Don't be a part of the 80%. munities, as well as in nature. The best part of both of these shows, besides the brilliant talent of the artists, is that this gallery is open to students, as well as the public, free of charge. I strongly urge you to take a couple of minutes and look through there. If these works strike you as they did me, bring a friend or encourage others to wander through these galleries and see what they take away from these creations. And as long as you are down that way, there are two other galleries located in the Rita that are also free of charge, The Foundation Gallery, featuring student artists, and the E.H. Mathis Gallery that is currently showcasing abstract works.
