CSUSM finishes the season with a 10-5-4 record. Vanguard, the #8 seed nationally, improves to 13-1-6 and advances to the NAIA National Championship in Alabama. In what was a tightly-contest match that resembled the one between these two teams in September, Vanguard's defense smothered the Cougars' offense, limiting San Marcos to 3 shots on the day. Keeper Kaycee Gunion, the A.I.I. Conference Tournament MVP, kept CSUSM in the game by making a season-high 8 saves, but it wasn't quite enough. The game's lone goal came in the 17 minute. San Marcos was whistled for a hand-ball in the box to give Vanguard a penalty kick, and Karri Currier capitalized on it. Senior Clarissa Hidalgo led the Cougars with two shots, and Kelly Wherry took one. Despite the loss, it was still quite a second half of the year RonPulvers. "But there's no other for CSUSM.

The 8K race, held at Fort Vancouver in Washington, was won going away by Malone College with a team score of 44. Concordia (Neb.) took second at 166, and Southern Oregon placed third at 188. th CSUSM finished with a total of 441. In his first year as a Cougar, junior Muluken Beressa earned All-American status with his performance on Saturday. He finished 21 with a time of 25:43. The race caps off what has been a recordsetting debut season for Beressa, who set the school record in the 8K with his first-place performance at the Conference Championships. Second on the team was Dave Edwards, who took 9 9 with a time of 26:33. The senior had been coming on strong throughout the second half of the season, finishing a strong third at the Conference Championships. Chris Capeau followed shortly after, placing 116 with a time of 26:39. Next was freshman Chris Strasheim, who took 171 at 27:06, and rounding out the team's top-five was Pat Fitzgerald in 177 at 27:11. Also competing for the Cougars were Bernardo Bahena (238 ; 27:48) and Casey Evans (264 ; 28:21). Coach Scott's squad had higher expectations entering this meet, but only because the season has been so successful. "The guys are disappointed in the result," noted Coach Scott.

Distant students and families stay in touch using technology Status Updates I f f ] CSU San Marcos Q j Photos Q Links ^ Video ¿¡J Pages More BY MAEVE CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer As new college f reshman, we learn a lot of things in our f irst semester. The immunization requirement and the joys of being allowed to walk to the restroom without a hall pas& are two things, but a learning experience we have to deal with off-campus is the scattering of our hometown classmates. Many of the f riends we sat next to in classes for thirteen years are now somewhere across the country, and many of us have moved away f rom our families as well. It's f un to meet new people and make new f riends, but keeping in touch with lifelong f riends and family is important too. W hat's the modern mainstream solution? Facebook, of course. It seems like everyone has one, usually to keep i n touch with f riends and family. It makes for a good security blanket, but do these virtual human connections really mean anything in real life? I love Facebook j ust as much as the next college student, but there are parts of it that I am beginning to see as anti-social. For example, status updates. When a girl updates her status, she is writing about herself and talking to no one in particular. It's not a message aimed towards a particular person—those go in messages and comments. All status updates begin with the poster's own name and are generally about the poster. This is hot meaningful or personal communication. A real-life equivalent would be to stand on a soapbox on a crowded street and yell about how your day went. These status updates at least open up for conversation in that people can choose to comment and discuss the updates. At least, people used to do this. Recently, however, Facebook introduced the " like" button, and now, if someone f inds an update witty or intelligent, they can press a button to show their approval, rather than expressing it through words. This is j ust disappointing. Spouting out phrases about myself and a former classmate clicking "like" does not count as a way of keeping our friendship alive. Some of the benefits of Facebook are photo and video sharing as well as the instant messaging feature. Those are definitely great ways of staying in touch more quickly and conveniently than by phone and snail mail without sacrificing personal communication. There are also public wall comments and private messages, which can be conversational, but there is the downside of application spam urging members to join fake mobs or farm fake vegetables. Facebook is sort of a mixed blessing. Status updates can be witty, applications can be amusing, and distant f riends and family can stay connected through chat and pictures. However, it's important not to replace actual interactions with Facebook alone. Phone calls and Skype messaging software can be much more personal than messages and comments since they have tone of voice and realtime speech. Skype even has a video chat option that t urns any voice call into a very personal, although eerily Jetsons-like, face-to-face conversation. However, no matter how technology progresses, nothing beats handwritten letters, care packages, and visits to show your distant loved one that you care enough to take the time to stay in touch with them. If none of these options are possible, I recommend thinking of creative ways to stay in touch using technology, rather than simply retyping solely on Facebook comments and " like" clicks.

Very nice since I am not a tofu fan and am still working on liking it. I will start of by saying this Pad Thai was very good. It was certainly much better than I expected. It had great flavor, medium spicy with the perfect amount of burn and required thirst without blocking the flavor but truly enhancing the dish. All the flavors were lovely together. They do not have lunch specials only regular dinner menu but the portions are large with prices more than reasonable ranging from $7 for tofu veggie to $12 for seafood. Portions are large for lunch, so there is enough to share or have leftovers.! hate to say it, but I ate the whole thing. I was so stuffed I thought I would pop (side note: I can eat a lot! My husband is much bigger than I am and I eat more than he does at times. In five more years, it will really start catching up with me). It has a Very light sauce, savory and not too sweet, and two fat slices of lime and per- fect spice; truly a lovely balance. I give them props because the tables, walls, and ceiling were actually clean for a hole in the wall restaurant. My only complaint, and this was too bad to over look, is the menus. They were old dirty and falling apart. I wanted to wash my hands after touching them. On my second visit, I had the Pad Woon Sen ,a glass noodle and veggie dish in a light soy-based sauce, accompanied by Tom Kha Gai. The food is just too good. I had the Tom Kha and oh my goodness! It was the best I have ever had. The owner said it was because they use real coconut milk whereas other places use powdered coconut milk. I had no idea powdered coconut milk existed, huge difference apparently. I would like a little more acidity for my personal taste but a lemon wedge could fix that. I think next time I will try the pho. Yes, they have pho here too for all you pho fans. tomato slices. Lay chicken breast over tomatoes. Coat chicken breast with olive oil or oil spray.

I am an ardent fan of garlic so I will use about twice what I recommend here. If you love garlic there can never be too much. Just don't make these for a first date. I buy my garlic at Trader Joes and I keep a jar of pre chopped garlic for convenience but fresh garlic is just as good. I let the green beans thaw by running them under warm water. Shake off excess water and put in towel to pat dry. Put the oil in a frying pan and get it nice and hot on medium-high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, toss in the green beans and garlic. Don't stir them right away. I like them to brown a little bit. After about 2 minutes, stir beans around and add salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and toss beans with Parmesan. Plate and serve. relation to what is known of Caananite cosmogony." He continues his essay "It was possible for man to enter a covenant with god under which he could live collectively in social justice and individually in moral responsibility. To this extent, Israel stands forth as the heir to the religious history of the preceding millennium." To extend the questing for truth further, the entire Historicity of Jesus has been for centuries a looming and unanswered question as one can see in many scholarly texts including "The Historicity of Jesus" by Shirley Jackson Case. But to return from the digression, the point is that effort is required to either confirm or debunk the information in this or any film. That is after all what every one of us should do with every film we view that claims as its basis truth or authority. Only then can we learn, grow and become more complete in our undei> standing of the world in which we live. So if I may be so bold as to highly recommend that everyone see thisfilm.And yes I know we are all going to revel in the upcoming winter break. What better time could there be to take a serious look at a serious film and then find out where truth lies, or if purported truth is a lie. What to See ***** When I suddenly had an unavoidable craving for Pad Thai* I panicked! I had class at CSUSM and my solid Thai joints are in Oceanside. I have to give Kinaly some major props. The server/ owner is a doll and very friendly, very familiar with her customers. It felt more like having lunch at your aunt's house than eating at a restaurant. I love that. I did not get a spotlight on the "only one" OMG! I eat alone. 1 know how strange for a woman to eat alone. The restaurant's name is Kinaly Thai but the sign out front simply says "Pad Thai Restaurant." Side Note: Eating alone is a wonderful experience. If you have issues with being self conscious, try it. Please do not eat alone and talk on your cell phone. This will rob you of the experience. Texting and cell phone games are acceptable as well as a book or iPod. I am married and, you know, with kids, eating alone is almost a treat. I digress. I got the tofu veggie Pad Thai. Simply dinner BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer W hat fo see on DVD BY BLAINE H. MOGIL Pride Staff Writer After weeks of putting off my daughter's request to see this film, I finally watched it when she came down to visit this week. I should know by now that when she suggests that I should hear, see or read something it is always a good recommendation. She is rarely wrong in her advice, and this film is no exception. "Zetigeist" This is a documentary film steeped in controversy and the birthplace of even more controversy. It is a threepart film that attempts to explain three different topics, as three separate issues. The three parts include the origins of modern monotheistic religion, an explanation of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and an explication of how the masses have become ensnared in a perpetual debt trap. The material itself is enough to raise the f ur on the backs of the necks of many a viewer. In our open society, with you as openminded viewers, the first order of business is to view the film. The second and most important part is to do so with a healthy amount of skepticism. Another piece to the puzzle with this, or any other controversial films such as this, is to allow for the possibility that what you know to be true, may not be. Finally, talk to others, research to find the truth to the best of your ability, and avoid making any decisions based on preconceived beliefs. Should a viewer watch with a closed mind, there is no chance to expand his mind with new knowledge. For a moment, we shall digress from the movie. The first segment of the film explores Islamic/Judeo-Christian origins. While most would agree that the oldest monotheistic religion to spring forth from the Middle East is Judaism with Christianity and Islam to follow later, many would take offense that the concept that monotheism arose from earlier religions. Although the movie focuses on Pagan and Egyptian roots to the development of a Jesus narrative, we should come to know that Judaism did not spring forth directly from the mouth of God, and thai is arose from earlier religions. As W.W. Meissner points out in his paper "Notes on Monotheism: Origins," the narratives of Genesis 1-11 "are significant in that they bear a close relation to similar material in Assyrian and Babylonian tablets, and show little Photo courtesy of Aromy X.

I t's still one of my all-time favorite songs nearly a decade later. To me, the song was perfeet. R ufus's buttery baritone and the gentle instrumentation were almost t6o good to be true. But the lyrics—oh, the lyrics—were beyond anything else I'd heard. In fact, they're still so unbelievably poetic, calling the composition a "song" doesn't even seem fair. And you know how I feel about poetic music. The respect I had for R ufus writing this song grew exponentially once YouTube happened, and a quick search of "Hallelujah" exposed trie to hundreds upon hundreds of 1 covers, including the achingly poignant version by the late Jeff Buckley. OK; I thought, people j ust realize "Hallelujah" is indeed an excellent song, even if it is butchered on occasion. At some point, I listened to what I assumed was Leonard Cohen covering the song. Unfortunately, as talented as the man is in poetry (check out "The SpiceBox of Earth"), he j ust isn't grabbing my attention with this spoken word thing he has going on when my dear R ufus makes the song nearly operatic. To my surprise, I finally came across the copyrighted song credits: words and music by Leonard Cohen. Cohen, a writer-turnedmusician, composed "Hallelujah" in 1981 for his 1984 imagecourtesyof Adalah-NY album "Various ~ Positions", album. I can't tell you why, but that sounds nice than one that Initially, the track wasn't too I can assume that most people clearly surpasses the level of successful; neither was the would rather listen to a song art present in most modern music. And let's be honest here, Cohen hasn't got the most melodious set of pipes in all the land. Even though the aesthetics of the work left something to be desired, listeners recognized where the beauty lies in C ohfu's most famous work. f odny^Vohe^'s o fficial website documents over 300 authorize&^Qyers by signed artists, m aaydi which * catapulted artists to stardom.

But Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" comes alive with the variances and ntfances of each singer's r espectful and unique cover version (though if you ask me, R ufus does it best). C SUSM get inked Students demonstrate their love for tattoos. BY SANDRA CHALMERS Arts & Entertainment Editor Elyce Maxwell, a current junior studying for a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and a minor in Psychology, got herfirsttattoo at the age of 18. "One of my tattoos is a picture of a bow, with the saying T he greatest gift starts and ends with family'." In an elegant cursive script, the black lettering on the top of her foot is decorated with a classic red bow just below her ankle. "I was inspired to get it because my family means the world to me and no matter what happens they will always be the best part of my life," said Maxwell. Maxwell got this particular tattoo at the age of 19 and at a local tattoo shop Tattoo. FatKid Tattoo specializes in custom tattoos while also offering a wide range of classic artwork pieces and styles. Price range depends on artists and appointments and walk-ins are welcome. "All I have to say is if you're planning on getting it [tattoo] on your foot it will hurt!" Tierra Spence, a junior majoring in Communications holds a sweet spot for tattoos, a sugared skull representing both of her grandmothers sits above her hipbone. "I have always had a love for Dia de Los Muertos art and I wanted something tattooed on me with that style of art but I also wanted it to mean something to me," said Spence. After finding the perfect design of a Dia de Los Muertos skull done by a close friend, she customized it to a perfect fit to represent her grandmothers. "I went through a lot when they passed away and one day I was looking at drawing my friend Theresa Lavelle did for a t-shirt design of a Day of the Dead skull and it was exactly what I was looking for in a tattoo," said Spence. Dia de Los Muertos, or more commonly recognized as the Day of the Dead, is a holiday tradition particular to Mexican culture a cknowledging the death of loved ones in a festive celebration. S pence lost both of her grandmothers J about eight month8 apart from each other and t hrough the struggle of the loss, she made a t ribute to them with some p ermane ink. Her tattoo is a classic Day of the Dead skull done with black ink and shows only the front facial features filled in with small details. On the forehead of the skull, a heart symbol with a corner piece missing symbolizes her emotional loss and grievances for her grandmothers. "I love looking at it and remembering my grandmothers. I know that sounds odd, but the heart just really represents how much I miss them and that why it's missing a piece, but it brings me comfort." Full of color and action, Alseeandra Uriarte, a senior majoring in Human Development, got a tattoo to represent a milestone in rock artist,. Atreyu. Uriarte got her tattoo from Good Neighbor Tattoo her life. Covering almost half of her lower back, an image of two vintage western pistols filled with intricate details of red designs shoot out smoke to form a heart with the lyric "Just live and breathe, try not to die again." The pistols feature Ted roses surrounding the gun handles and the red roses also surround the bottom of the smoky heart. "I've had a very rough year and in the midst of all the turmoil, I lost myself and who I was striving to become, it was not a very fantastic feeling and I vowed to never let myself 'die' again," Uriarte said. The lyrics comes from popular Photo courtesy of Alseeandra Uriarte Escondido. "I got my first one {tattoo] on my 18 birthday. Now I'm turning 21 and I have four. They are addicting." th Photo courtesy of Tierra Spence � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
