There’s a new food fad these days, one that’s arguably a bit more healthy and easy on the wallet than most. No, I am not referring to the latest and greatest diet where all you drink is cranberry juice for 72 hours and lose three pounds (“Mean Girls” anyone?).
Symbolism. God, that’s a big topic to cover. I mean, how do you even go about it? What’s the peppy, prepared angle on this topic? Without it dissolving into some kind of tract or tirade I mean. I do my best, week in and week out, to avoid either of those modes.
A few days ago, a man with a balloon set the world record for the highest altitude skydive ever attempted. Fast forward a few days and this man, Felix Baumgartner, is now a household name. Watching it myself, I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching something akin to the moon landing of 1969; it’s a frontier that no one’s explored before.
Five years removed from his 2007 masterpiece, “There Will Be Blood,” director-writer Paul Thomas Anderson returns with “The Master,” a haunting and dreamy film containing a pair of superb performances and perplexing ideas.
Newly reunited bands certainly feel a lot of pressure from fans and critics alike to perform at standards previously set before a hiatus.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., sat down Wednesday at the Republican National Convention with state news editor Tyler Nickerson to discuss the following of former presidential candidate Ron Paul, recent comments by Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin on abortion, college loans and the national debt.
Madisonians have grown accustomed to political excitement over the past couple of years. Fall 2012 promises to be just as exciting in terms of political conflict. The items listed below are hot topics to follow as the school year starts.
The twisty race for the Republican presidential nomination now finds itself with former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in the lead, ready to take the fight to President Barack Obama. He recently launched into a tirade against Obama, chiding the president's policies protecting the environment as based on a theology that has nothing to do with the Bible. Apart from being interpreted as an attack on Obama's faith by the media, it also makes one ponder what Santorum bases his opinions.
I have always been a huge fan of doughnuts. Every Sunday when I was a kid, my dad would go out to the grocery store that was slightly better than Cub but not as good as a legitimate bakery and buy doughnuts before everyone else woke up. Long Johns with sprinkles were my thing, and if someone ate it before I woke up, you can bet they would feel my wrath, which is something akin to “Apocalypse Now.”
As much as I love the exploration and discovery in massive open-world role-playing games (RPGs), their unintuitive combat systems have always tempered my enthusiasm. Intense, fluid combat and large scale RPGs always seemed mutually exclusive, but "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" successfully bridges this gap. While sticking closely to typical RPG conventions, the dynamic action of "Reckoning" sets it apart from other role-playing games.
Blockbuster, Hollywood Videos, and other such brick-and-mortar video rental providers have been closing up shop in droves across the country over the past few years, simply out-competed by newer, more convenient entertainment providers like Netflix and Redbox. But the transition from these fading entertainment elites to the new generation has gone anything but smoothly thanks to meddling movie studios.
In Jeff Steinfeld's letter, published December 1, he argues that the unions representing public school teachers hurt innovation in schools and produce poor educational outcomes. Two of Mr. Steinfeld's key claims are misguided and disingenuous, and I'd like to set the record straight today.
I adore the holiday season. Christmas music, sparkly lights, a general air of happiness, delicious sugar-ridden treats that induce that yearly 3-to-5-pound weight gain over the course of a month-yes, fond memories. However, I can't help but be a little alarmed by the holiday-themed marketing campaigns creeping in well before Thanksgiving.
Oh, how messy the Republican presidential race has been lately.
In 2005, Canadian post-hardcore band Silverstein successfully reached the mainstream with their hit album Discovering the Waterfront, but in the years since they have struggled to recreate the sound that got them there. Their next two albums, 2007's Arrivals & Departures and 2009's A Shipwreck in the Sand, both received mixed reviews, but overall neither album could captivate their audience like Discovering the Waterfront did. There may be hope for the band in their latest album, however, which brings a mixing of soft and hard-core rock for an altogether strong and entertaining release.
Fans of Los Angeles-based musician Alfred Darlington, a.k.a Daedelus, are quick to emphasize the DJ's continual defiance of genre. He mixes elements of jazz, rock, dubstep, film clips and ambient noise—critics claim he mixes with abandon for an eclectic repertoire. Whether you believe that or not, the trend of listen-ability is one he fully continues in Bespoke, a Ninja Tune release that exemplifies Daedelus at his best and most controversial.
At Sundance this year, I noticed a particularly strong marketing push by the festival to promote that about six of the movies at the festival were already available to be streamed by the home viewer via various video-on-demand outlets. This is the second year festival titles have been simultaneously released at Sundance and in the digital market. In conjuncture with the 2010 festival, YouTube launched its own streaming movie-rental service by offering several contemporary and previous festival selections. And in the year since YouTube stuck its toe in the movie-streaming pool, a variety of other outlets have emerged and are jumping in the pool themselves.
Last Friday, leaflets encouraging students to walk out of class at 11:11 a.m. littered the campus. For the past week, UW students had been subject to cancelled classes, teaching assistants missing from office hours and megaphone-bearing organizers disrupting classes to encourage students to participate in the protests. One such organizer was walking through the halls of Van Vleck when a shout came from the library that spoke for the rest of us: ""Shut up! I'm trying to study!""
In the contentious partisan climate of American politics in 2011, the unsustainability of the federal deficit may be the only major issue on which Republicans and Democrats agree. In his State of the Union address, President Obama proposed freezing domestic spending for the next five years, which would bring federal discretionary spending to its lowest share of the economy since Eisenhower. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, D-Wis., emphasized the ""crushing burden of debt"" facing the country today, while new House Majority Leader Eric Cantor stated that ""everything is on the table."" It's clear that Washington politicians agree on the need to reduce the deficit, but if returning to Clinton-era tax rates for millionaires is off the table (as was made clear by the temporary extension of the Bush tax cuts), from where can Americans expect these spending cuts to come?
