He argued that lower-priced text books could be available by requiring professors to submit book requests earlier, reducing rush fees and back-orders, and DeGuzman noted that many state governments do not place sales tax on student books, an initiative that would save students some money if California would ever consider such a policy. The panel, introduced by DeGuzman, consisted of President Karen Haynes, University Provost Robert Sheath, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal Hoss, Interim Vice President of Student Affairs Pat Worden and CSU Student Trustee Corey Jackson. The purpose of the event was intended to inform students, faculty and staff of the current conditions of campus life and its forecast for upcoming years. C SUSM Priorities President Haynes stressed a consistent "collaborative goal of serving students" through the utilization of five strategic priorities emphasized throughout See ADDRESS, page 4 In recognition of November as American Indian Heritage Month, the American Indian Student Alliance will be presenting guest speaker Dr. Jimmy Santiago Baca on Nov. 10,2005 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240.

These reports give information on crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off campus buildings, or property owned or controlled by Cal State San Marcos, and on public property within. According to Woodward, the report also includes institutional poli- ADDRESS,frompage 1 her speech promoting academic excellence, student life, campus atmosphere, partnerships and fairness at Cal State San Marcos. Reflecting on short and long term campus goals, President Haynes hopes that "Cal State San Marcos will be known for its retention of graduation rates and student satisfaction." CSUSM has already implemented a reduced degree requirement to 120 units to be eligible for graduation, and plans to further adopt pro-retention rate polices by encouraging students to declare their major earlier on in a student's academic career^ providing detailed academic roadmaps and improving counseling services to students. President Haynes focused most of her time to issues surrounding the enhancement of student life on campus through expanding residence halls, athletic programs and creating a one-stop shop for students in Craven Hall. The third floor of Craven Hall is being converted into a one-stop shop, with admissions, cashier office, enrollment, The Pride staff office and other student services, all located in one general area. The courtyard located on the third floor, formerly known as the Library Plaza, will be renamed 'Cougar Courtyard' and be a designated area to host events and festivities on campus.

The 02 through 04 statistics for crimes such as murder, robbery, forcible sex offenses, aggravated assault, etc., can be found by clicking the Download Crime Statistics icon campus to a young campus. Our legacy will and should be built on the student satisfaction experience here on our campus," concluded President Haynes. Academic Blueprint "We are now planning for a new college," said Robert Sheath, university provost. New degree programs are being introduced in upcoming semesters at CSUSM. Kinesociology and Biotechnology are among the new degree programs that were initiated in Spring and Fall 2005. Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Mass Media and Broader Studies, Environmental Studies and a Speech Therapy degree will be offered in Fall 2006 through the College of Education and Business Administration will soon offer two areas of emphasis in either Finance or Marketing. 'Cranovations' and campus services Neal Hoss, vice president of Finance and Administrative Services, asked for campus "patience in moving a lot ofpeople around," in response to the so-called !cranovations\ (craven renovations). In development of this student one-stop shop, mentioned early by President Haynes, Hoss explained how a website is being I'm constructed to help students familiarize themselves with the Craven changes. "We are reworking how we interact with students," said Hoss. Cranovations will allow students to easily access fundamental university services without having to refer to directories or weave through Craven Hall. In addition, Parking Services has recently opened Lot H welcoming in 111 spaces, and in Fall 2006, Lot F is scheduled t o open with 1200 to 1600 spaces. In the year 2010-2011 a parking structure will be built to accommodate 2000-2700 vehicles. These expansions are funded solely on a past-student approved initiative to* increase parking fees to develop more parking spaces. The second installment of that prior student vote, will be implemented in Spring 2006, affecting parking permit costs going from $35 a month to $75 a month, mentioned Hoss. Such fee increases are a result of how parking funding is only supported through student fees and no other funds can be diverted to subsidized parking costs. Touching base on Police issues, Hoss reported that the University Police, Department is working on' communicative strategies focusing on addressing and implementing the services outlined by the investigative Task Force. Escort services are now available through the police department, and soon a new crime tips sex crimes are violations of criminal and civil law, and never tolerated. "They also constitute serious breaches of student or employee conduct as well,'' the website states, and encourages anyone who has been a victim of sexual' assault, including date or acquaintance rape, to report the incident to the Cal State San Marcos Police, or any off campus police.

Student Code of Conduct Pat Worden, interim vice president of Student Affairs, discussed the changes to Title V dealing with Student Code of Conduct. Title V has not been updated in ten years, but with new definitions of misconduct the original 14 categories have been expanded to 20 categories detailing student misconduct policies. Worden explained how the definition of dishonesty was broadened to include cheating, academic plagiarism, falsification of information, misrepresentation and falsifying documents. All of these topics are mentioned in the terms of the new Title V. Hazing has been clarified to differentiate 'customary athletic events' from true acts of hazing. The new policy precludes defense ofwillful participation, apathy or failure to intervene as charges of student misconduct. Title V also includes the misuse of computers from unauthorized use,filetransfers, violation of copyright laws and use of equipment to transmit abusive messages or hatemail as all being classified as student C SU Student Trustee at C SUSM Corey Jackson, California State University student trustee, drove 104 miles to address the many issues in CSU, primarily the current issue of funding. "It's important to understand we're under-funded due to state budget troubles," Jackson said. "Higher education needs to be a priority in our state. Higher education relies on how much we're willing to sacrifice to ensure that our voices are being heard. Aré we going to give more for a greater good, or maintain status quo?" Final Words The State of the Campus Address happens annually with the focus being to educate and inform students, faculty and staff on the current policies, services and planning for the campus.

Sgt. Flores, officer in charge of the ride along program, showed me around the station upon arrival. We toured their locker and break rooms, and even took a look at the infamous breathalyzer. Officer Hernandez of the University Police showed me how the device operated, as well as how to perform the state-required routine testing of the machine itself. After a look at some of the numerous types of forms and paperwork, I went with Sgt. Flores toward the squad cars. The particular car we looked at came equipped with plastic backseats, which Sgt. Flores said "eliminates the possibilities of suspects hiding contraband in the cushions of the seats." Along with the numerous safety and road objects in the trunk of the car, the dashboard and center console had been turned into a huge radio, in which the U.P. was able to obtain signals from all over the greater San Diego Region. By seven o'clock I met the officer I'd be riding with. Officer Troy Holmes greeted me in the lobby of the building and we quickly went to his squad car to prepare for the night shift. At the beginning of each shift Officer Holmes inspects the vehicle to ensure that all lights and functions perform properly, this includes unloading, inspecting, and reloading the shotgun. After contacting dispatch, Holmes explained that we were going to "check the campus, the beat check, and make sure nothing is out of the ordinary." We patrolled the campus, and unlocked a door for a student in need of a late night recording room. Back on the streets, we made our first stop, pulling over a truck that made an illegal Uturn on Twin Oaks Valley Rd. After approaching the vehicle and talking with the driver, Holmes returned to the squad car to retrieve his Citation book. He issued the man a citation, who had confessed that he had seen the sign. Later Holmes noted that it was a "posted sign and he didn't obey it," that it is "our job is to provide a safe environment for the community" and when the driver veered across lanes it was clearly a risk to fellow motorists. The second stop was rather amusing. After seeing two men standing in the road, we noticed a San Marcos Sheriff parked up the street, watching them.

Long / The Pride drove up and asked what the deal was. Apparently the men had run their car off the road, and it had required a tow. Before it was taken, however, the two men had scrambled to grab boxes full of pornography out of the back. After the towing service left the men then spilled the box of pornography while attempting -to carry it across the street. Pornography was scattered across the streets of San Marcos as the two men raced to pick it up. We exited the scene leaving any further involvement up to the discretion of the San Marcos Sheriffs. Two more routine stops were made throughout the rest of the ride along, both for broken tail lights. Holmes said "it's a slow night tonight, you should have been here Thursday, we had our hands full." Afterwards, Holmes dropped me off to continue the rest of his twelve hour shift. Overall it was a great experience. The University Police are doing their best to enforce the law in a safe and fair manner, not simply issuing tickets. Officer Holmes, Sgt. Flores and the rest of the staff of the University Police are helping to create a safe and positive campus for us to attend, and help spur the growth and development of the school as a whole. I'd encourage students to help them by being safe and understanding the law.

Cal State San Marcos was the only university that the trailer set up during the four day "On the Way to the Cure" tour. The Komen Foundation local San Diego affiliate is wrapping up a four day tour in southern California according to Katie Parker, community outreach director. The foundation handed outflyersand postcards. In the trailer there were laptops set up for people to view instructional videos on how to detect breast cancer. "Early detection of breast cancer saves lives and is not a death sentence," said Parker. The trailer had an estimated 150 visitors in a three hour time period. Parker went on to explain how signing up on their Web site will keep students up to date on issues in Congress that concern breast cancer funding. The trailer was set up with laptop computers that played videos on how to detect early signs of breast cancer. The videopBSE Brest SelfExam, can be found at the main website for the Komen Foundation, www.komen.org. The video covers the basics of self exam and ways to Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride feel for lumps during an exam. It states that women should perform monthly exams starting at the age of 20. The exams should be done the same time every month and preferably right after the menstrual cycle. "Most people know us from Komen Race for the Cure®. But, since we began in 1982, the Foundation and its Affiliates have raised more than $300 million for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. It is credited as the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer," said the San Diego Komen Foundation Web site, www.sdkomen.org. Nationally, the Komen Foundation sponsors annual walks and a fundraiser to help raise awareness and funding for breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of money raised in San Diego stays here, according to the Web site. There is a "Race for the Cure" event scheduled for Nov. 6.

The don't care what you do in your stereotype in men's sports is that BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride there is no way a great male athlete can be gay. It's funny how that works out. Female athletes in the past have already done what Swoopes has done, so for those of you who want to make a big deal about this, it really isn't. Tennis player Martina Navratilova is probably the most notable female athlete to say she likes women. I am just waiting for the first male athlete to say he likes dudes so that this topic can soon go away, because I am sick of discussing it. If you can ball on the court I don't care if you do or don't play with another dude's balls at home. And, for those of you who have already started to write an angry e-mail, even if you can't ball I don't care what your orientation is. CSUSM Women's Golf Places 11th at Monterey Bay The women's golf team landed in 11th place October 25,2005, at the Golf Mart/Lady Otter Invitational, hosted by Cal State Monterey Bay at the Fort Ord Golf Course in Seaside. The course is 73-par, 5,957-yards. The Cougars had a two-round score of689 (346343). Twenty teams competed. Anyways, the one thing that does interest me about this whole topic is that Swoopes brings up the whole debate about whether or not people are born gay or turned gay. Swoopes said that she was not born gay but, rather, became gay. She was married to a man at one point and has a child. This fascinates me because as a straight guy I have no perspective on this and I always hear different takes on it. I guess it's one of those questions that will never be answered, like what came first, the chicken or the egg? The one thing that I don't want to se8 happen as a result of this is to see Swoopes with a book and movie deal. I wouldn't be surprised, because others have capitalized after their announcements.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer One thing we know about the Big Seven, apart from all leading to physical, mental or emotional satisfaction, is that after Avarice and Gluttony prove too costly, Pride and Wrath too timely, and Lust and Envy too likely to be guilty virtues; an idle hand remains the favored tool. And who can blame Old Scratch for letting the nails pound themselves in? And goodness knows there can be counted, among the faithful and dead, plenty who envision Paradise as a place free of toil, with hardly anyone on their feet, hardly anyone at all. We can't draw our dualism pistols just yet though, not till we've truly examined the thrice-saluted snooze button, the reclined request, and the time killed, butchered every which way to get out of kitchen duty. We have to dig the root of one tree before we can jam the fruit of the other, and what better vantage point to start than the hammock swaying serene between addictive personalities, and personal medication. Let's start with me, I'll subject myself to your stares. After all, it's been said (usually by those spoiled by their own good looks) that 'shy' people are merely selfish, Indeed, couldn't the same be said, and with greater ease to boot, of those 'slackers', those lie-abouts, those lethargic leisure leeches? The power in the term 'Lazy' is really not so passive-aggressive, nor so counterproductive as one might think. I've used it on myself countless times, both as a way to turn a subscription into an ailment, and to preserve my Avarice with a little prodded Pride. Sometimes, it works, others, I don't. Make no mistake; I like being productive, I like the rush of achievement and the glow of study. The danger and the problem and the life of it is: Sloth isn't the denouncement of work, but the avoidance, the replacement of work. And the best way to do that is with other work. Study a page or screen other than the one assigned. Improve the high score rather than balance the budget. The danger is that wolfish indulgence can become sheepish diversion, a soothing white wash till you smell the clean bleach burn-away, till you realize how easily, how Easy for how Quick and Strong, how something from almost no effort becomes something with absolutely no interest, and seemingly no escape. You're still in the game, but you've left the zone You've reached Nirvana ...but you're still in your rotting body. This gentle slothe is a deadly decline, not because it's slippery, but because we're either water seeking the path of least resistance, or fire dying to consume-propagate everything, all the while fancying ourselves as rising steam. The trick is not to get caught up contemplating womb re-creation retreats," or buying poverty as a symptom of laziness like affluence as a symptom of nobility. Ask yourselves why most people want money so that they can not worry about it, while those who have it want it so that they can get more of it. Ask yourself, when next someone slaps your idle hand, if they're more worried you'll forget the value of their employment, or that you'll realize the value of your time. There's no great mystery behind our unmotivated-epidemic. In fact, it likely has more to do with efficiency than lethargy. Even ifthe average American is reading, voting, and generally thinking less, they're realizing that they're still working more, but that half the effort often gets the same results. One by one we're noticing that, despite loving our bootstraps so much more than the rest of the world (that place where we get our stuff and citizens), 'self-made fortune' still sounds like an oxymoron. Little by little people, who need less money to retire than their boss needs to feel like the boss, are realizing that "I don't want to" isn't half so scary as "why should I". To everyone understandably insulted, or otherwise threatened by my lack of regard for their ambition, their awesome and oh so rare desire to special, I've an offer you can't refuse. Take a moment to wonder if you're half the boss you think you are, another moment for the opposite implication of that question, and yet another to thank the masses for not being 'hard-working' enough to have made your ascent that much more unlikely. The only trick now is to make them feel indebted to you, more interested in your sadly limited money rather than their currently limited time. That's right. Currently. You see, the more time we 'kill' the more valuable time becomes, the less satisfied we are with 80 years to spend when it seems we need at least 20 to waste. Perhaps, on an ambitious note, if doctors cured our lifespan first, they'd have the time to cure the rest. Naturally, there's no end in sight to the majority held by those who want to live, but mostly die, supernaturally. But surely they must realize that pious knees can also benefit from more time allotted to lazy asses and big heads. I believe it was the "Screwtape Letters" in which a Demon instructed his nephew on how to bring about a man's fall by convincing him that his time was his own. Give credit where you will for what you Will, but ask yourself: does the signature on your paycheck appear on all your waking hours? Perhaps we'll never see the day when everyone takes pride and sometimes money in all the work and play they do. Maybe we don't deserve to. It's equally possible, however, that instead of taking vacations from our 925s and GPAs, we might give our toil some time in the numbbubble, and be hurt rather than herded by the spectacle of those who would long for the days when they could live like a slaves^ officially. Even if it costs us our love affair with the Last Minute or our dream of having enough to be afraid that someone higher will give it to someone lesser, try taking the carrot off the stick, impaling it with the pin on your easy chair, and take stock of how much of you has been made under your terms, on your time. We're all afraid of a wasted investment, but the roots of your boredom and unsatisfying exhaustion need your water a lot more than your need their fruit. Student voices opinion on ASI I must say that on behalf of all of the prudish conservatives on campus, I laugh in the face of ASI and the campus in general. First, we've got the University Hour. I understand that ASI wants us to live on a commune, but for those of us that have to work for a living, a big chunk out of my time doesn't exactly work for me. Why not let us be pro-choice? If I want to get involved, I will. Why force me to do something I don't want to? Don't push your beliefs on me, ASI! It's hard enough getting by, but having to rearrange everything just so I can build some relationships with people that I don't really get along with isn't all that appealing to me. Second, for a campus that promotes diversity, I again must laugh; Michael Moore, Chariot the Harlot, and coming soon, Peter Camejo. Why is it that when conservatives come, there is a panel discussion, yet when it's a liberal pushing their ideals, they just get to "lecture"? Honestly, I have no problems with lunatics like Michael Moore speaking; he only embarrasses himself. However, when my fees go to pay for these loonies like Camejo, I should at least get someone from the other side. In a case like this, I must ask: "Where's Ann Coulter, Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity?" Where is ASI to raise thousands of dollars to bring one of them to speak? Answer: no where. I understand college kids are supposed to be bleedingheart liberals, but I'm more coldhearted. I don't support the values of ASI, and I don't support the foolish decisions they push. For those of you reading this and find me crazy, just remember that when you are mugged by reality, I told you so.

Yet through ibis odd a rcane-: 'Bewfi,*: m-COMM 316, One student's experience in the Katrina aftermath So one of my professors told me I was an enigma . . . I'm not sure exactly what he meant - am I a completely puzzling person to him? Quite possibly, after all, my mother's spent a great deal of her life trying to figure me out, unsuccessfully (one day she will give up). The latest puzzle piece was a trip I t ook... to a disaster site, in Slidell, LA. I don't find it that puzzling, but I guess many people do. For me, sleeping in a condemned hotel; on the floor in a ballroom with 60 complete strangers (many of whom snored) and sharing one shower... well, what can I say? It was an awesome use of my vacation time. I took this trip because I could; I had the necessary support from my bosses, co-workers, professors, family, friends, and neighbors. T also had vacation time on the books and a free round trip airline ticket in pocket. What I did was volunteer,my time in support of an organization that is central to the relief efforts going on in Slidell, LA. That organization is Noah's Wish. Noah's Wish is a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to rescuing and sheltering animals in .disasters. I became affiliated t with Noah's Wish three years ago and am a "trained volunteer". In some disasters the shear size of the disaster warrants bringing on board what we call Convergent Volunteers: Individuals who are not already trained. In Slidell the ratio of convergent volunteers per trained volunteers was perhaps , 10 to 1. After the initial 24-hours I was suddenly a leader (you learn fast!) then 2-days later I was in charge of a whole area; rSbbits and birds, a total of 47 animals. When I went (Oct 5-15) the volunteer pool was constantly changing, one day there were 60 of us, the next 30, (The animal count hovered around 950) and that's how things work in a disaster. One day everything's great - lots of volunteers, some- one finds ice available for sale, the temperature stays below 90, no one gets injured and all the cleaning is done by early afternoon. I experienced about 4 of those day& On other dayp the temperature kept climbing, the convergent volunteers had to go back to their lives, there were no cold drinks . . and people got injured. But through it all are the animals - that's why I went. There were families coming in looking for lost p ets... and finding them, there were people visiting their pets daily (their homes were destroyed), and there were still animals coming in. Few were actual rescues, many were strays found by neighbors and citizens, and some even came from other operations that were shutting down. Noah's Wish has been onsite since August 31 and currently plans to remain until midNovember. In the next week the 60-day hold on animals will be lifted (this was set to allow owners adequate time to reclaim their animals) and they will be available for adoption. Some will be placed into long-term foster care with approved foster homes These animals belong to people who will not be able to return to their homes any time soon. Many more have, sadly, been abandoned. These animals will be adopted. Already adoption applications are on file for many of them. Most of the animals that were surrendered by residents have already been adopted.* In fact, I adopted a kitten and brought her home with me. I've named her KC Squeaks . . . it's short for Katrina Gat and well, she doesn't meow, she squeaks. She will be my daily reminder of how lucky I have it here! The sights of devastation, the tired expressions on resident's faces and the smell will be with me for a long-time. But so will the feelings of joy as people and animals were reunited. I made some new friends while volunteering in Slidell; there is a common bond between animal advocates. And my final thoughts on the matter? Going into the disaster was filled with frustrations, fear, and challenge but the rewards for me would be unobtainable in any comfortable situation. If you have a compassion for animals and think you might want to assist Noah's Wish in the future check out the website and attend a Volunteer In-Field Training. If, after camping out for 3days and wrestling with goats, geese, cats, dogs, bunnies, and or snakes etc . . . you still think you have what it takes, .then go for it! Your perspective will change - you will grow - and you never know, maybe you'll meet your husband/wife/significant other there, not that I did, but you might!

The two statements were said in one-way or another during Franklin Roosevelt's tenure as President revealed by the exposé, FDR: The Other Side of the Coin by Former New York Senator Hamilton Fish III.

What, if any, connection does this have with the lives of CSUSM students?- The book invites its readers to closely examine preconceived notions about FDR's presidency and his effectiveness as well as preconceived notions about cxirrent administration policies. Using these same principles of reexamining past events and historical figures, we can apply the same to the present administra- tion. The only difference being that in FDR's time, the Internet and 24-hour news channels didn't exist in its current form. Following both the Sept. 11 attacks and the War on Iraq, several informational sources, books, and documentaries have called into question the prevailing wisdom about the administration's policies, event timeline, and various political figures. Fish provides evidence that following the attack on Pearl Harbor; he had come to find out that the Japanese repeatedly asked the United States and Roosevelt to accept Japanese surrender in the months leading to Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt refused their surrender and essentially forced the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7 ,, 1941. In relation to present day, several reports including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's report on Weapons of Mass Destruction reporting during the lead-up to the Iraq Invasion and the 9-11 Commission's report surfaced that contradicts evidence table: History is not completely given during and immediately written in stone, it must be scrufollowing Pearl Harbor, Septem- pulously verified, checked, and This book ber 11 and the War on Iraq.

Pride Staff Writer /Capote' is the telling of how Four members of the Clutter Capote researched and developed family were shot to death Nov. 14, his novel. The murders and trial 1959, in their home in Holcomb, took Capote 6 years to capture in Kansas. The murders brought his book. The ordeal drained him attention to the small town and emotionally and physically. a nation wide man hunt for the Famous for his novels, which killers of this well-liked Midwest included 'Breakfast at Tiffany's, family. he used his fame to move about From New York City came Holcomb and into the lives of the Truman Capote, an author and small town citizens. columnist for 'The New Yorker' When the two murderers, Perry magazine.

In his opinion, are caught, Capote involves himthere was a human interest story self in their trial and their senin the lives turned upside down tence. from the murders. Eventually, the The movie is character-based Images courtesy of Sony Classics i nc o l d b l o o d and follows Phillip Seymour Hnd follows CPhillip in eymour a offman as apote Sa well acted role. He doesn't just play Capote, he becomes him. Capote was a flamboyant character who flaunted his dandy character, even in the small town of Holcomb. He is soft spoken but speaks his mind and is direct in everything he says and asks for. Clifton Collins Jr. does an excellent job playing Perry Smith, a well spoken criminal who captivates Capote. Smith seems to pull Capote in with charm and grace to give the appearance of not-guilty. His endless charm pulls Capote's personal life apart and drove him to drink. Chris Cooper plays Kansas Bureau of Investigation Agent' Alvin Dewey. Dewey was a personal friend of the murdered Mr. Clutter and has a personal grudge against the men who committed the heinous crimes. After Capote helps find better lawyers for the two, Dewey tells him that if they get off, he will hunt him down. The direction was the second finest attribute of the film. It felt like a Norman Rockwell painting with everybody seemingly enjoying the Americana lifestyle of the Midwest and big city. This backdrop gives more impact to the bloody scenes of the murdered family and how uncommon it was in the late 1950s of the Midwest.in the late 1950s of the Midwas The only trouble with the movie is the genre. I expected a true crime movie, but it was a nonfiction based on Capote's point of view of the murders and trial. Smith's eloquence and charm, as portrayed by Capote, is questionable. Capote seems to begin a romantic relationship with Smith as he visits him in prison and listens to Smith's personal history. This relationship almost seems to be a part of Capote's imagination and it is unclear if Smith is manipulating him. I have read that the book 'In Cold Blood' was to serve two purposes. One was to show the lives of the town in the wake of the murders and to stand against capital punishment. If the movie had the same agenda, it didn't succeed for me. As scenes of violence against the family were flashed on the screen in memory fragments, I felt no sympathy for the two sentenced men. This movie is not for everybody and is probably why it is showing in a limited number of theaters. Iin a ou enjoyumber of theatc f y limited n character-based movies with little action but great acting, then this is your movie. If you only see blockbuster actions movies on the big screen, then wait for video to see "Capote". I expect that Hoffman will at least be nominated for Best Actor, if not win it. Then the movie will probably be released wide. It has a tendency to be slow and Capote is a hard character to listen to for two hours but Hoffman delivers it with style. f or t h e h olidays'?

This holds true in "The Legend of Zorro." You will remember in the original, "The Mask of Zorro", we were embraced with romance, revenge and goofball humor. Now everything has been replaced with a farfetched plot, dumb characters and never ending fight sequences that by the 100thflip,punch, kick and thrust of the sword that I yawned. The farfetched plot: Don Alejandro de La Vega a.k.a. Zorro (Antonio Banderas) saves the voting ballot for California to enter the Union as a free state from tampering by Jacob McGivens(Nick Chinlund) and his goons. He returns home where his wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso) expect him to fulfill his promise to retire. Alejandro refuses. Elena divorces him and confides in Armand (Rufus Sewell), a French vineyard owner. Apparently, Armand is apart of a secret knighthood that has developed a powerful explosive to use against the US. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Alejandro salvages his relationship with his son while trying to win back his wife and uncovering Armand's agenda. Wow he's a busy guy! The dumb characters: Elena, once attracted to Alejandro's charm, has become demanding. What does she want from him? She never says. We're left clueless. Joaquin admires Zorro for his bravery but despises his father. He mimics Zorro and even helps uncover the plot. Whats confusing is that a small boy, with that much intelligence, isn't able to determine that Zorro is his father. He has seen both men up-close and heard their voices but still doesn't realize the truth. The villains, Jacob and Armand, look and act like villains, do nothing out of the ordinary and therefore are not interesting. The never ending fight sequences: they take place on/in trains, mountains, cliffs, farms, mansions, horseback, town square, etc. By the looks of it, they've exploited every location in the old west. I will admit the fight sequences are impressive. Stunt Coordinator Gary Powell has out done himself. The fight sequences are just too long and too much. It's like ordering another double when you're past legal limit. Cut down half the fight sequences and develop the relationship between Alejandro and Joaquin, then you have a better movie. Thefilmcuts away every time Alejandro and Joaquin sits down and have a father and son conversation. I felt cheated. By the end, they do have a meaningful conversation but I didn't care anymore and just wanted to leave.

Spice up the night BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Are you tired of eating foods that just end up making you feel bloated and sleepy and dinners that leave you and your partner lying on the couch with no energy for romance? If so, it's time to change the .menu. There are lots of foods out there that are aphrodisiacs that help boost sexual stimulation and add a little spice to an otherwise dull night. For starters, wine is an easy way to set the mood. A couple of glasses help to relax and stimulate the senses, but be careful because one glass to many can leave you drowsy and not up for any physical activities. For dinner try serving up or going out for oysters, which are high in protein and said to bring out passion. : Try feeding your lover asparagus to bring out that sensuous side. The Vegetarian Society recommended eating asparagus for three days for best results. Sweet Basil stimulates sex drive and enhances fertility. Carrots are thought be most stimulating to males. Carrots are high in vitamins and betacarotene and were used by early Middle Eastern royalty to aid in the art of seduction. Garlic, though you may need a breath mint, stirs up sexual desires. By adding a little garlic to your pasta sauce, you're adding a little spice to your bedroom as well. This may seem a little odd, but mustard is believed to stimulate the sexual glands and boost sexual longing. Try eating a filet mignon with a mustard and peppercorn sauce. Now on to deserts; fruits are a great place to start. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamin B which are essential for sex hormone production. Raspberries and Strawberries, known as tfie fruit nipples, are not only loaded with vitamin C, but they are a great treat to feed your lover in front of some soft candle light. %•• If fruits not your thing then try some chocolate. Chocolate actually contains chemicals which effect neurotransmitters in the brain and a caffeine like substance cailed theobromine. In other words, it makes you feel great. Vanilla, the scent alone stimulates the senses, but the taste increases lust. Almonds are a great dfesert served, as Marzipan (almond paste), because the aroma is said to provoke passion in a woman. If you're looking for something a little warmer to heat things up try good olid ( ^ffeerCoflee contains caffeine which is a stimulant, which is a great start for an all-nighter, But justlike the wine it's better served in small douses, because to much caffeine can act as a depressant. If you're ready to spice up your night then these foods are for you, but remember food can only take you so fan Ambience is key; you don't want to be feeding your lover berries while they stare at a pile of dirty laundry. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
