Imagine this: it’s 1957 and Rock n’ Roll music is forming, growing more popular in the teen generation by the day. The music is fast, it’s loud, and it’s nothing anyone has seen before. The baby boomer post-World War II kids are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, breaking away from previous social norms. Parents are furious.
Students of Blue Hawk Records (BHR) changed the selection process in preparation for their fourth compilation EP for the fall semester, allowing a mixture of artists on the record. Members of Blue Hawk Records Applied Industry III class held open auditions on Wednesday, Sept. 24.
One of the main reasons many people in the gaming community have heard about ‘Gamergate’ (something that is neither representative of gamers, nor comparable to Watergate in any real way) is because Anita Sarkeesian, a self-described “feminist media-critic/blogger” has seized upon the conflict (if one can even call it that) to draw attention to her own personal agenda. Sarkeesian believes that the portrayal of women in video games is sexist, and has used the issue of ‘Gamergate’ to help her criticism gain traction.

We all have that one memory of our family that just stands out among the rest. For the Altman’s, it was the time their Dad died, and they were forced to sit Shiva, even though they aren’t Jewish. “This is Where I Leave You” was overflowing with gifted performers, perfectly sculpted scenes, and beautifully written dialogue. Oh, and Tina Fey swears a lot!
When students checked Twitter a few days ago, most thought the tweets regarding the Irish band U2’s new album, “Songs of Innocence,” were a joke. How could every single iPhone have inexplicably downloaded the same CD? Through the mysterious qualities of the iCloud, this bizarre situation really happened — and not everyone is happy with Apple’s gift.
September 15 came around, and that meant that it was finally time to see America’s favorite doctors back on TV. These are the doctors of “The Mindy Project,” who seem to barely speak about medical needs at all, but more about what happens when their strangely entangled lives get even more complicated.
The Manhattan Bagel in Red Bank, NJ, served as the host of this month’s River Read Reading Series, coordinated by Linda Jade and Gregg Brown, on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Shonda Rhimes Launches Bold Thursday Night Lineup “Thank God it’s Thursday!” shouted one of the marketing executives at ABC, or so I’m assuming. When ABC announced their new Thursday night lineup would feature not one, not two, but THREE Shonda Rhimes shows, it’s safe to say fans were beyond thrilled. Rhimes is a force that […]
