known as geocaches that are usually full of cool little trinkets.
Geocaching was created in
2000 by computer consultant
Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek,
Oreg. All he wanted to do was
test the accuracy of his GPS by
hiding a small canister with a
few trinkets and a logbook in the
woods near his house. After doing
so, he uploaded the coordinates
of the canister online, and asked
people to try to find it. His Internet challenge was a great hit, and
soon picked up speed all across
the country and then the world.
Today, geocaching has become a common social outing
for groups of all ages. There
are many great websites that allow for an easy download of
geocache locations all over
the country. Geocaching.com
is one of the most well known
sites. It utilizes Google Maps
to help display the available
geocaches, and allows people
to comment and rate each geocache by difficulty and accuracy.
In the San Marcos area alone,
there are over 500 geocaches
that are ready and waiting for
teams of treasure hunters to find
their hidden goodies. And when
I say "goodies," know that it is
a very loose term. I have found
everything from bullet casings
to a Fraggle Rock beer cozy.
A common misconception with
geocaching is that the GPS tells
you exactly how to get to the
geocache. That is so very far
from the truth. It points to the
exact location of the geocache,
but it is up to the hiker to get
there. Figuring out which trails
lead to the geocache and how
to find the geocache makes the
experience that much more fun.
The only deterrent to geocaching is the initial price of purchasing a GPS unit. I was at?le to find
one on Amazon.com for under
$75 that has worked extremely
well during my geocaching excursions. And for those who
aren't too sure about the small
investment, try alternative GPS
methods, such as a cell phone.
While the GPS won't necessarily
be as accurate, it will still provide
you with a decent enough device
to track down the geocaches.
If you are looking for

There are two different types of

assess your personality and help
figure yourself out. This questionnaire consists of 66 questions, most of which ask you to

This questionnaire was made to
help students understand the type

of the questions ask about grade

learn how to succeed in school.
In addition to these services,
there are also events and workshops offered by the career center targeting students. These
events are meant to inform and
build knowledge about your

to look out for in the near future are the Fall Career Expo

Wherever they play, expect to witness Cougar victories with Saia at the helm.

Based on the true story of how
the social networking site Facebook was created, "The Social
Network" is the most culturally
relevant film of the year, managing to reflect and define a generation. If you think for one second
that a film about Facebook will
be a pitiful way of capitalizing
on the popularity of the site, you
couldn't be more wrong. David
Fincher ("Fight Club" and "The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes a story of what easily could have been a simple
handful of pretentious characters with the inability to socially
connect, and created an exciting and fascinating story about
the cracks within human nature.
The film begins at Harvard
with Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse
Eisenberg) using his internet blog
to lash out at the girl who dumped
him. His drunken anger leads him
to create a site that rates his female peers according to their hotness, crashing Harvard's system
and bringing him to the attention

�Halo: Reach revisited
Discovering a new multiplayer experience
BY JIMMY PIRAINO
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
"Halo: Reach," the latest iteration of the video game franchise "Halo," has finally made
its debut on the Xbox 360. Developed by Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios, Halo: Reach
brings the player more of the
now-classic sci-fi shooter action,
but with plenty of upgrades and
tweaks to the game play to keep
the action fresh and exciting.
The last issue of The Pride featured a review of the single player
campaign of "Halo: Reach." This
article's focus is solely on the
multiplayer experience. While
the single-player campaign made
great strides in terms of story and
graphics for the franchise, its effects on the video gaming community pale in comparison to
the newly upgraded multiplayer
experience Bungie developed.
In previous versions of
"Halo," the multiplayer was al-
ways broken up into two game
playlists: Ranked and Social.
While both sections allowed players to rise in level, i.e., "Captain"
or "General," only the ranked
players would be able to reach the
highest levels available in game.
This created a divide between
many gamers, as the atmosphere
and difficulty of the Ranked and
Social playlists differed greatly.
Bungie, in one of many recent
great decisions, combined the two
sections to help quell the dissent.
The ranking system remains and
has been given new rewards at set
points to help encourage players to
keep pushing to that higher level.
In each game, players earn
credits for completing certain
tasks. The tasks range from getting a certain amount of kills in
a match, to surviving for a certain amount of time in a level
without dying. Bungie also introduces daily and weekly challenges that, if completed, give the
player a large amount of credits.
Once players earn enough
credits, they can purchase upgrades to their Spartan avatar,
which is visible to the other players in online matchmaking. The
upgrades are merely cosmetic
and do not give the player any
advantage over another, but as in
previous "Halo" games, the customization of the player's armor
is a time honored tradition,^¡vith
many armor upgrades unlocked
only after completing certain
challenges and achievements,
which are worn like a badge
of honor among the players.
Along with the added customization to the player avatars,
Bungie also adds several new
game modes, bringing some
much-needed diversity to the online game play. The cooperative
Firefight mode, which involves
four playersfightingagainst wave
after wave of enemies, allows for
a completely new type of online
play. Instead of competing against
other humans, players can team
up to fight the computer while
still utilizing the online features.
My favorite online feature is
one of the smaller tweaks to the
online matchmaking system. In
previous "Halo" games, there has
been a rather priifitive system
that players used to vote for or
against the current online level.
If the consensus was negative, the
players would then be thrown into
another completely random level
whether without the option to vote.
Bungie heard the complaints
loud and clear. Before each
game, the players can now vote
for one of three presented levels
and game types, with a fourth
option to see new levels. And
if the voting players pick to see
new levels, they are presented
with three new choices instead of
one permanent alternative level.
"Halo: Reach" has delivered
on all levels and provides the
player with a large variety of
game play and features to bring
a whole new generation of gamers back into the "Halo" universe.
"Halo: Reach" is available
now for the Xbox 360 for $59.99.

"Bones: Season 5" (Unrated)
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" (R)
Freddy Kruger is back (this time played by
Jackie Earle Haley) in "A Nightmare on
Elm Street," marking another remake of
Wes Craven's 1984 horror film of the same
name. The film follows the previously established story line of a group of teenagers
^ ho find out that they're all being terrorized
in their dreams by the same man due to actions made by their parents when they were
children. With laughable acting, an extreme
emphasis given to Kruger's possible pedophilic nature, and Haley trying desperately to
rip the same terror from the audience as the
irreplaceable original Robert Englund, this
film only succeeds in being a weak attempt
to recreate afilmthat needs no reproduction.
NEW CD RELEASES
With the sixth season newly underway, the
DVD release of season five of this Emmy-nominated crime-drama series could not come at a
better time. Heavily steeped in the symbiotic
relationship between forensic anthropology and
criminal justice, the series continues to follow
the exploits of main characters Dr. Temperance
"Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI
Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz),
as well as the excellent supporting cast including Michaela Conlin, T J. Thyne, John Francis Daley, and Tamara Taylor. Featured in this
season is the 100th episode (directed by David
Boreanaz) that allows the audience to see the
beginnings of Booth and Brennan's relationship,
the Gravedigger (the villain of season four) on
trial, the rekindling of romance between Angela and Hodgins, and finally ending the season
with the characters going their separate ways
temporarily. Be sure to catch new episodes of
"Bones," airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

has not let the band's hiatus stop himfromcreating music. Flowers revealed fearing that if he stopped playing music for a year, it might
"mess him up." Onfirstlisten, this record seems like a mash up of ten songs thrown onto an album. By the second or third spin through "Flamingo," the songs become infectious melodies that stick in your head. "Crossfire" is thefirstsingle off the record and sounds much like The
Killers. The rest of the disk pays homage to Flowers's home town of Las Vegas. The record is a blend of alternative, country, jazz and pop.

Jimmy Eat World - "Invented"
- David Geffen Company
It has been three years since Jimmy Eat* World's smash album, "Chase This Light," dropped. The band has bounced
between record labels for many years, but for "Invented," Jimmy Eat World seceded from former major label Interscope Records to create the fresh, emotional rock Jimmy Eat World is known for. The band teamed up with producer Mark Trombino, who has produced three other Jimmy Eat World records, including the infamous "Bleed American." Long time fans will be ecstatic to know Jimmy Eat World has taken "Invented" back to their glory days, recycling
the mellow guitar riffs that made "Clarity" a love-at-first-listen album in 1999 and chant-friendly high school anthems
of "Bleed American." Their first single, "My Best Theory," is already number twelve on the Billboard rock charts.

�n octurnal Festival
BY SUS ANNE BERGSTEN
PRIDE STAFF WRITER
Saturday Sept. 25 Insomniac held its 16th annual Nocturnal Festival at the National Orange Show Events
Center in San Bernadino, Calif.
42,000 attended the rave/
festival, braving the heat wave.
The festival had Alice in Wonderland as a theme. It had five
stages and large art installations and sculptures with fire.
Several great artists and DJs
performed at the festival, such
as Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten,
ATB, Dada Life and Pretty Lights.
This year Insomniac offered
free water refills for everyone,
keeping attendees hydrated and
dancing all day into the warmnight.
The audience seemed electric
throughout the 11-hour festival.
With the many fast beating
songs, lights, crazy outfits, carnival rides and dressed up entertainers, it seems like Insomniac
could live up to calling it "wonderland." When Steve Angello
played Swedish House Mafia's
"One," the audience seemed to
get into a frenzy, likewise with
ATB when they played Ecstasy
and managed to blow a speaker.
As soon as the sun set, the out-
S
Œ
door tents filled up at the speed
of light. Angello who housed
"Alice's House," a massive two
story black tent with 78.000
square feet of room to dance and
shuffle, together with Eddie Halliwell, D. Ramirez and Dada Life
gave people no reason to leave.
Festival goers had to dip their
heads into "the Labyrinth," another one of the outdoor stages,
to check out Ferry Corsten,
ATB and Markus Schulz, who
were blasting music in a hot,
white tent with massive speakers and an euphoric crowd.
If the 110-degree weather had
made you tired, the lawn next to
the pond at the entrance seemed a
good place to rest while embracing
the magic of the moment, looking
at people passing by in their minimal outfits with candy (bracelets)
up to their armpits or watching people getting light shows.
At the end of the night, confetti was raining down, lasers
were pointing everywhere, fireworks blasting somewhere in
the warm nighs sky, and the bass
pumped loud in the background,
it truly seemed like wonderland.

DRAWING COURTESY OF
CHELSEA JAUREGUI
Autumn is upon us, and that means fall
sports and midterm exams. Healthy and delicious, smoothies are a quick snack option
to power up for a workout or recover from
an action-packed game. Even non-athletic
students can benefit from these energizing
drinks, reaping a sharp attention span, focus, and brainpower for tacklirlg classes
and homework. Packed with nutrition and
incredible flavor, individuals can customize theflavorof their smoothies by varying
the main ingredients. Fruits and vegetables
are easily blended to frothy perfection—if
you haven't yet invested in a blender, do
it! This one appliance will allow you to
create hundreds of smoothie recipes for
any time of the day, promoting a diet that
will keep you performing at your best.
The basic smoothie has three main
ingredients:
Fruit and/or vegetables
Liquid: (milk, yogurt, fruit juice)
Ice
The specific nutritional benefits will depend on the ingredients you use—athletes
should consult their coaches for guidelines
on what to include in their smoothies. In
general, a smoothie should contain a protein
(from dairy or soy products, or a supplement
such as whey protein) and a variety of fruits
or vegetables for maximum nutrition. Get
creative #nd think about what ingredients
might create new and interesting flavors.
Nutritionist Lindsay Barnes, co-author of
the book "Smoothies and Ice Treats," recommends using fresh fruit and vegetables,
and using low-fat dairy products for the
healthiest smoothies. Flavor and consistency will depend on the amount of each ingredient used, so experiment until youfindthe
perfect blend for your palate. Here is a delicious smoothie recipe to get you inspired:
Berry Avocado Smoothie
Vi avocado, peeled and sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries
Vi banana
1 cup milk or soymilk
Vanilla extract and honey, to taste
Ice, about 4 cubes
Making a smoothie requires just the
press of the button. Blend all the ingredients until you reach the desired consistency, then taste to check the flavor. You
can refrigerate any leftovers and re-blend
to enjoy with your next meal. The above
recipe is a Cookin' Cougar original—check
recipe websites or smoothie recipe books
to get more ideas for your own delicious
blended treats. Ciao, my smoothie sippers. Let's raise our glasses to good health!

FEATURES EDITOR
I had no idea what to expect
when I attended Stick Together.
I knew there would be choreographed movement accompanied by a percussion group all
the way from Switzerland. If
you saw the signs around campus or read a preview of the
event, and you harbored any
fears of unintelligible modern
ballet and a single man hitting a
drum with his hands, you're not
alone. But Stick Together made
those fears completely baseless.
It wasn't just a performance; it
was a story about humanity told
through dance and every type of
percussive instrument I've ever
seen, and at least a few I've never
seen. Each piece had a name that
provided some clues to its meaning, though like any good art, it
made each person in the audience feel something unique and
personal. The opening number,
Transparency, started with human beings trapped in boxes,
glowing with light from beneath
them. To try to explain what happened after this point is almost
impossible. Individuals came out
of boxes. They got back in boxes. There were jerky individual
movements after the "birth" of
escaping the glass boxes, then
smoother movement with the beginnings of cooperation between
couples. As in life, however, the
level of refinement that brings
individual grace immediately
turns into a pressure to conform.
Dancers would do something
breathtaking as individuals, only
to be copied by the other dancers. It was beautiful, frustrating
and relatable all at the same time.
There were slow, somber
dances where the dancers seemed
serious, or even emotionless.
There was a quick dance, filled
with smiles and bright costumes
that seemed to radiate happiness.
In short, there was a little of everything. Adults in the audience
were giving their full attention,
homework and text messages
briefly forgotten, and the children
in the audience looked fascinated.
But to speak just about the Mojalet Dance Collective is to completely ignore the
other half of the
evening. Rhythm
Talk is currently in the OS on
tour from Olten,
Switzerland.
I
have never seen
people so jubilant
about playing the
drums. But the
word "drum" is
overly simplistic.
There were gongs.
There were cymbals. There was
a piece with the
rhythm set by a
berimbau, a musical bow I've
never seen used
outside of Brazilian
capoeira
performance.
It was a dy-
namic performance that I doubt
sounds exactly the same twice.
It's not the first time the groups
have worked together. Faith
Jensen-Ismay, the artistic director of Mojalet Dance Collective,
and Noby Lehmann, the main
composer for Rhythm Talk, met
in 2006 when Jensen-Ismay and
her collective were performing in
Switzerland. "By 2007, they were
here to do a tour project with
us," Jensen-Ismay said. Now the
group is back for another whirlwind tour of performances and
master classes. Before the performance at CSUSM, the two groups
taught a master class on campus,
sponsored by the Dance Program .
Rhythm Talk's newest album,
also entitled "Stick Together," is
filled with names from the places they visited in 2007, such as
"Oceanside" and "Diego Dance."
"There's just a lot of inspiration
here," Lehmann said. "Normally,
we make music, then choreography. But here, we can work
together. Faith sends me choreography, and then I make music."
If you missed "Stick Together" at CSUSM, there are still
two more chances to catch the
performance. There will be two
free shows at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, on
October 6th at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The shows are free, but tickets
are first come, first served starting an hour before each performance. The California Center
for the Arts, at 340 N. Escondido
Blvd., is a fifteen-minute drive
from campus, or two Sprinter
stops and a fifteen-minute walk.
