The Family That Surfs Together Stays Together

Monday, February 20, 2012

The Family That Surfs Together Stays Together By Jared Keo In today’s society, the family core is constantly being threatened. It has become popular to hold off on getting married, and it’s now trendy or glamorous to be single and able to “mingle”. However, it’s the family that provides the most happiness to any individual. When times get hard, the family, not your friends, are the ones that will love and support you unconditionally. This article is not to speak ill of the importance of...

Vegan Christmas Cookies

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Vegan Christmas Cookies By Colleen Boucher I spent the past weekend doing some Christmas shopping, and I am not only feeling like an incredibly organized person, I am full of the holiday spirit. Embracing rampant consumerism to a soundtrack of Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is my favorite winter activity, hands down. All jokes aside, they don’t call this the most wonderful time of the year for nothing. But more than presents and shopping, this holiday is defined for me by food. And Christmas cookies are the centerpiece...

Friday, December 9, 2011

New Year’s Eve The lives of several couples and singles in New York intertwine over the course of New Year’s Eve. Directed by: Garry Marshall Starring: Hilary Swank Ashton Kutcher Zac Efron   By Chris Pandolfi A Romcom for Auld Lang Syne Garry Marshall’s New Year’s Eve is ostensibly a sequel to last year’s Valentine’s Day, a film I was very critical of for its surplus of subplots, overabundance of characters, and ceaseless intercutting. I described it as “a romantic...

Thursday, December 8, 2011

How to Choose the Right Snow Tires By Matthew Keegan Winter driving has its own hazards including snow, ice and general slippery conditions.

You can’t do anything about road conditions, but you can choose the right kind of tires to help you get through the winter months. Your safety as well as the safety of your passengers and other drivers may be at...

What is a Double Contact and a Lift in Volleyball?

Monday, December 5, 2011

By Kevin Shannon In the game of volleyball, you’ll find rules about how the player is permitted to set the volleyball. It may be especially aggravating to have players consistently called for illegal contact of the ball. Being a coach is without question nerve-racking enough without requiring you to regularly put up with a player that is constantly doing this. There are in essence two kinds of mistakes when it comes to setting or passing the ball – double contacts and lifts. You will discover conditions...

Different Measures to Control Marine Pollution By Steve Last Knowing how to handle things and how to get things done is usually very important. Knowing the details of the best way to go about doing it is also important. However, you cannot stop there, that is not enough by itself. Knowing exactly what NOT to do and what mistakes to avoid can also be important.

Surfing For Non-Surfers: A Beginner's Tips To Fellow Beginners

A Beginner’s Tips To Fellow Beginners

Monday, November 28, 2011

Surfing For Non-Surfers: A Beginner's Tips To Fellow Beginners By Miles D.C. Some say surfing is an “extreme sport” and that label alone is enough to give anyone who wants to give it a try enough reason to doubt whether they can do it or not. But then, you have to remember, not all kinds of surfing is “extreme”. How about just trying it out long enough to know how liberating it feels gliding thru the water. Never mind if they’re not 6 feet waves just yet. Those 3 footer ones will give...

Movie Review: Jack and Jill

Friday, November 25, 2011

By Crista White Generally speaking, any movie where the lead male character also plays the part of a woman is a really bad idea. With the exception of ‘Tootsie’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’, I stand by this statement EMPHATICALLY. I don’t think we need to look any further than the recent ‘Madea’ phenomenon–which, by the way, I am at a loss to understand–to prove this point. And let’s now give Adam Sandler a warm welcome as we add him to the list of contenders in ‘Jack...

A Vegan Thanksgiving: Porcini Mushroom Gravy

A Vegan Thanksgiving: Porcini Mushroom Gravy

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

By Colleen Boucher For a long time, I was very intimidated by gravy. The whole concept of a roux, and the constant threat of lumps made me an anxious gravy-maker. Apparently my aunt feels the same way, because she always puts my mom in charge of the gravy at Thanksgiving. But, the other day, I was making gravy, all by myself, and it totally worked. And it tasted delicious! It had the right color, texture, consistency, everything. I was pretty proud of myself. So, now that gravy has been demystified for me, I feel confident...
