When you think of a luau, you would think of a big relaxed party on a beach in Hawaii. Did you ever think you could go to one in Arizona? Well, it is possible. The ERAU Hawaii Club threw their 14th annual luau this past Saturday in the Activity Center. The theme for the evening was "na mele aloha," which means "the songs of aloha.
"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been." -Mark Twain I'm not current on the politically correct term for old people, or if "old" is even an offensive term. If they had a politically correct name though, I'd guess it would be to the same format as most politically correct terms - a positive or less negative attribute followed by the word 'challenged.
On Friday, Feb. 19, 2010, the ventriloquist, comedian, and magician Andy Gross entranced the students with a mysterious and mind-bending act. It all began with Andy talking about a fight with his mannequin for calling it a "dummy, " which is not politically correct.

Service: 2.0/5.0 Atmosphere: 2.5/5.0 Food: 3.0/5.0 When you see a restaurant review, you don't expect it to be for a chain restaurant. Well, Andy and I are about to deliver the unexpected. Streets of New York is a pizza and Italian food chain with a location here in downtown Prescott. I think that it isn't frivolous that I reviewed a part of a chain because I did it with two motives in mind: it is important to know how one chain's location is because no two locations are exactly the same, and because even a member of a chain is still a legitimate restaurant.
Rating: 4.5/5.0 Shutter Island was, well, surprising. There really is no other way to fully describe Martin Scorsese's most recent masterpiece. Based upon the movie trailers, which all seemed to present a suspense-oriented action film, one would never guess that the movie would actually turn out to be an extremely gripping psychological thriller.
Rating: 4.0/5.0 The Crazies is not your typical zombie film, in that the "crazies" themselves are not your usual zombies. The most striking aspect about them had to be their intelligence. The crazies apparently still had full access to their intellect and thought processes, as they were able to do things like work as a team and plan an ambush.

There are some things in life we find ourselves thinking of as an old friend, like a faithful old car, or for some of us here, the calculator we've had since high school. To me, my Ruger 10/22 Carbine is one of those things. It's one of the first guns that I ever shot, and it's the gun that has taught me by far the most over the years my family has owned it.
I was flying back to California when I realized that I didn't have a book to read. It's an airplane flight. I am not interested in the philosophy and times of Nietzsche when I'm flying into Los Angeles and San Francisco. So, I went looking for a pleasure novel that I wouldn't need to concentrate on to understand.
