TB12 METHOD

APP REVIEW

FREE

There’s no denying Tom Brady is a beast. He has the most regular season, playoff and Super Bowl wins of any player in NFL history. He holds the record for the most touchdown passes in both the playoffs and the Super Bowl. He has more Super Bowl rings and MVP honors than anyone.

And the man is still going at 41 years old.

Brady’s ability to perform going into his 18th season speaks volumes to his training plan. And now you can train just like him.

“TB12 Method” provides a comprehensive guide of Brady’s exercise, nutrition and cognitive practices, among others. The app features videos, information and advice to model your training habits after his.

The free portion of the app is mostly information and advice for more effective approaches to training. Two subscription options allow access to training plans, customized to specific sports, recipes, a nutrition guide and more.

While “TB12 Method” isn’t a new concept, it feels different due to Tom Brady’s presence. Brady is the GOAT (greatest of all time), so following his advice wouldn’t be the worst idea out there. The subscription prices aren’t cheap, but aren’t unreasonable. It’s definitely worth the download.

THE NUN

by Tyra Harris

MOVIE REVIEW

The first film in a month to boot “Crazy Rich Asians” from the number one box office spot, “The Nun” adopts the prototypical combination of Roman Catholic iconography and rites against the presence of demonic spirits.

“The Conjuring 2” spinoff follows young novitiate Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga), Father Burke (Demián Bichir) and Frenchie, a farmer (Jonas Bloquet) as they engage in a game of cat and mouse with an evil spirit.

The film begins with the suicide of a nun, Sister Victoria, after she escapes the attack of a villainous spirit at a Romanian monastery. After Frenchie’s discovery of the body, the Vatican sends the inexperienced Sister Irene (who is constantly reminded that she has yet to take her vows) and Father Burke to investigate the incident. While there, the three protagonists fight near-homicidal attacks from the spirit known as Valak.

Though the makeup design and special effects of “The Nun” are impactful forces on the overall viewing experience, the audience yearns for more character development. We are left wondering why an inept novitiate is chosen to accompany Father Burke with such an arduous task. We are also uncertain as to the cause of the resurgence of a demon Father Burke cast out years ago. The film also heavily relies on jump scares rather than a buildup of suspense and mystery.

The consequences lead to a choppy plot.

Fans of The Conjuring Universe and movie-goers just looking for a fun scare should see the film. However, “The Nun” does an average job at fulfilling the vacuum of horror films during this summer season

ALBUM REVIEW The America we know today is greatly shifting. Some may say for the better and some may say for the worse, but it’s clear that the civil liberties of many individuals are being threatened. On their third album, L.A. band Chicano Batman speaks to this issue facing our country to remind us “Freedom Is Free.” With every word and through the accompaniment on organ, guitar, bass, and drum, the album makes listeners literally feel the theme of freedom, and it resonates through your body.

ARTIST: Chicano Batman ALBUM: Freedom Is Free RELEASED: Aug 31, 2018

Chicano Batmans’ music is simple, yet every verse is crafted beautifully.

This psychedelic soul band is made up of four men who work to bring peace, love and passion to their listeners through their music. The aesthetic of the band represents old cantina vibes; transporting listeners back into the seventies with a revamped sound. The album was released March 3, 2017, and since then has reminded its listeners to simply embrace being alive and enjoy every moment. “Freedom Is Free” feeds its audience, not only musically, but philosophically as well —that it is possible to thrive even when your freedoms are threatened, because moments like that are when it’s important to connect with others.

Throughout every song it is clear that there is support for every individual who is denied rights because of their citizenship or mistreated because of where they come from and the color of their skin. “Freedom is Free” gives listeners encouragement that in a world of people that are constantly rooting against you, you have the ability to end up on top, despite any hurtful situation you might have endured. You can’t see the cost of freedom, but because of this album, you can definitely feel it.

MUSIC

Jon Wolfe at Harry’s

by Sara Matthews

Country music lovers are in for a treat! On September 21, Jon Wolfe will be putting on an energetic performance at Hurricane Harry’s.

Throw on your dancing boots and get ready for one heck of a show!

The Oklahoma native began creating music at a young age, but after seeing the success of fellow Oklahoman Garth Brooks, Wolfe started considering making music as a career. Wolfe’s songs are classic honky-tonk, and in a sea of other musicians’ offerings of country pop radio, they blew up the Texas country music charts and won the hearts of many in music halls across the area. Eventually he made his way permanently to Texas, settling in Austin.

His music lures people to the dance floor with upbeat tunes and storytelling songs. Many of his song lyrics provide a sense of summer bliss nostalgia. Additionally, Wolfe knows how to work a stage as he is a seasoned performer who has toured for several years and played over 400 shows. His charismatic stage presence invites you to engage in singing along and dancing. Some chart-topping singles you may recognize from Wolfe are “I Don’t Dance,” “Boots on a Dance Floor,” and “That Girl in Texas.” His most recent album, “Any Night in Texas,” was released in 2017 and creates the perfect country dancing soundtrack.

Opening for Jon Wolfe is Clay Hollis, a young contemporary country singer from San Antonio. Twangy vocals and wonderful energy make Clay Hollis one to watch for Texas country. His single “Look Who’s Hurting Now” climbed the Texas radio charts, and we can look forward to his full album debuting very soon. The best is yet to come from Hollis.

The Local Weekly Artisan Market

By Kendall Ward

at Lake Walk Town Center The word “local” may have become a buzzword but we sure hope the trend will stick around a so many products being sourced internationally, to have something made right here in our

these days, while. With it’s special hometown.

Named for the trend it represents, The Local Weekly Artisan Market is returning on September 25. Established last fall, The Local is relatively new to the BCS area. It began as a partnership with the Brazos Valley Farmers’ Market and since then has transitioned into predominantly an artisan craft market. This fall will be the third season of the market and nearly 30 vendors will be participating.

What makes The Local different than other markets is that it’s a true artisan’s market rather than a farmer’s market. So you won’t find produce or meal staples, but you will find handmade products of high quality craftsmanship. Walking through this market is a treat that will rejuvenate your spirit. Whether it be the aroma of freshly cut flowers,

the sight of intricately designed macrame, or the tempting taste of the sweets that line the tables, your senses will be indulged and enlivened.

The market meets every Tuesday from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Lake Walk Town Center, rain or shine, through December 11. Each market is unique and may feature food trucks or live music by local artists from time to time. The first market will feature The Craft Pig and Frios Pops Aggieland. Kate Chapman, a Lake Walk partner, says her favorite thing about The Local is “seeing everyone come out to enjoy time at Lake Walk and watching customers return weekly to find their favorite products.”

It’s the perfect spot for all ages, including the kiddos. The little ones will enjoy the large plots of lush green grass while the parents are free to peruse the products while keeping an eye on the youngsters. Whether you bring your friends or fly solo, it’s a great place to enjoy some quality time with others or bask in the “me time.” We could all use a little more of that!

Ring Day It’s Aggie Ring Day! After long nights of studying, hours in the classroom and countless cups of coffee, one of the most exciting days to be an Aggie is here.

It’s been 90 hours in the making, but come Friday, Sept. 21, thousands of Texas A&M University students will finally place their Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring on their finger.

The day-long extravaganza kicks off at 10:00 a.m as the first group is called in to receive their Aggie bling. The next set of recipients enters 15 minutes later, and the cycle continues until 7 p.m. that evening.

There are a few items you’ll need to bring with you in order to get your ring. First, don’t forget your Ring Ticket. This is the document you got two weeks prior to Ring Day that dictates which time group you are scheduled for. You will also need to bring two forms of identification. This can either be your student ID, a driver’s license, a passport or your ring receipt.

Don’t forget your friends and family. There’s no limit to the amount of people you can bring, so share your big day with everyone who wants to.

Those getting their rings, as well as their friends and family, are encouraged to arrive early and take part in the festivities around the ceremony. Aggie Ring Day shirts will be available to purchase for $15, Slovacek’s will be handing out free sausages and water, and Coca-Cola products will sold in the surrounding area. You will also be able to meet with Benjamin Knox ’90, and view and purchase signed prints.

Once you have your Aggie Ring in hand, be sure to make it known.

Photos can be taken around the Alumni Center grounds and all across the Texas A&M campus. However, re-entry into the Haynes Ring Plaza will not be permitted.

To all those Aggies who have earned their ring, congratulations! You will now join in the legacy of representing Texas A&M University everywhere you go. Celebrate your accomplishment! You’ve earned it!

Texas A&M’s I-School Bringing New Opportunities for Student Leadership

With the launch of the School of Innovation at Texas A&M last year, the university set out to make it a lot easier for motivated students to work together on creative projects outside of their normal coursework, and often outside their own disciplines of study.

The I-School, as it’s called, is connecting students from different colleges and schools across campus, as well as faculty and former students from a broad range of disciplines, all with the aim of encouraging a culture of and active hub for innovation. And every idea and project is student-led.

the I-School team, and the group is currently soliciting quotes from vendors for the equipment they will need for phase one,” Briggs said. “We hope to start installing phase one in the next few weeks.”

In establishing the vision for the I-Studio project and preparing the required project proposal, the student leaders learned to make a case for their vision. They contrasted their vision with existing campus resources like the library’s One Button Studio and were able to secure the funding required to move forward with phase one. A complement to the library’s user-friendly, one-button approach to video recording, the I-Studio will offer expanded Jennifer Briggs, Creative Manager at the School of Innovation, video and podcast capabilities. Where the One Button Studio helps explained the I-Studio, one of the first student-led projects. with “the creation of media-enriched instructional projects,” the “A group of four students put together a proposal to build a new I-Studio aims to be a place where students can bring their multimedia studio in one of the rooms in our building, pitched it to extracurricular passion projects.

Omar Guzman, a Senior Communications major from Arlington, EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Texas, is one of the students responsible for the I-Studio. He heard about the School of Innovation from a friend. “It’s a great place to go if you have ideas but don’t know where to start,” Guzman said. “The hardest part is just getting started. They [the I-School staff ] have resources to help students generate and launch ideas.”

The I-School is also open to collaborations with members of the community and faculty on campus. Faculty and staff at A&M can serve as mentors for teams of students, helping to keep projects on track and offer guidance in their field of expertise.

If you’re running a local business or a non-profit, you may have problems that college students would enjoy solving. Students are particularly adept at technological problems involving websites, social media, and computers. In the future, the program may connect students with paid internships and other opportunities in the community.

Started little over a year ago, the School of Innovation is still taking shape. The easiest way to learn more is by talking to their team at the HEEP Laboratory Building. The campfire area in the first-floor lobby (in the picture) was established as a place to discuss ideas and see how the I-School can help. Joan Quintana, class of 1992 and a local entrepreneur and frequent volunteer on campus, explained why she is excited to see the I-School in action.

“The other education is well-established as a distinct part of the Texas A&M culture and tradition of educating leaders,” she said. “The I-School is presenting opportunities for new types of extracurricular activities that allow students to build leadership skills by struggling through the process of bringing ideas to fruition, trying their hands at something new, testing theories, and developing new skills, and that’s a win for the students, our university, and the community at large.”

Pablo Picasso famously said, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” The creative imagination of youth tends to disappear with age. For some kids, art was presented just as a hobby, only to be practiced in leisure.

As a result, advanced study or training in art was not much of an option. Others lost interest in artistic pursuits after being told that artistry is not a lucrative career, coupled by the pejorative phrase “starving artist.” Fortunately for Bryan-College Station residents, Dr. Dary Dega didn’t allow adverse rhetoric and other hardships stop her from maintaining her passion of art from childhood.

where professional artists can showcase their work at exhibitions and concerts and where novices can take classes and workshops to enhance their skills. Classes and workshops are developed

by Dr. Dary herself, who is an art school graduate. Clients are welcome to pitch ideas of what they’d like to create. Dr. Dary then creates a step-by-step process of how execute the client’s vision by giving tailor-made instruction to participants. This gives each class distinction, as she wants “the experience to be unique for everyone.” At the end of each session, participants leave with their own matchless piece of artwork.

Hailing from Moscow, Russia, Dr. Dega was working for the Russian health department when she packed up and moved to the US after her husband’s acceptance of a physics professor position at Texas A&M University. Shortly after the move, Dr. Dega looked for local art classes for her children to take, but was saddened by the limited and expensive private lessons available. From this misfortune came the idea of opening her own affordable art studio for all ages of the community.

Dr. Dary is proud of the inclusivity of Degallery. “I’ve had kids who are two and three years old take classes here,” she boasts. In addition to the wide age range and caliber of clients, Degallery offers classes at affordable rates. The space is also accommodating for special events and celebrations, such as corporate team building events, bridal showers and birthday parties.

Currently, Degallery showcases work from Bryan painter Emily Laughlin in an exhibit entitled “The Subjectivity of Precision.” In this Dr. Dega’s transition from medicine to art in Aggieland was not an exhibit, viewers are encouraged to contemplate the “subjectivity easy one. She says the art business in Texas is “crazy hard” because and the comprehension of intent through a personal lens” by of residents’ adoration for sport and physical activity. “The culture viewing and purchasing “visual perception of monochrome and here is more for football and other games,” she says.

Prairie Switch and Garrett Simon Band

at Grand Stafford

Bands Prairie Switch and Garrett Simon Band are proof that some of the most talented individuals are straight out of Texas!

Prairie Switch is a Texas country band with a folk twist from College Station, Texas. Their musical style is one that is very unique to country music, fusing country, folk, and pop together to create songs that will get your head bobbing and feet tapping along with the beat. Members of the band are Bryan Crivellari, Adam Hill, Nick Jaseck, and Koy R. Kresta. Lead singer Bryan Crivellari has a special pitch to his voice, making him sound a lot softer than most country artists. In their music, you can hear some of the band’s influences, such as Turnpike Troubadours, Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band, and William

Martinez (bass guitar), Sawyer Campbell (lead guitar), Cameron Mixson (drums), and Garret Simon (vocals and rhythm).

The band is currently recording their But learning about one upcoming debut full length album “Broke Down” band is never enough! Hailing from in Fort Worth, Texas.

S Y B A R I T E 5 BY AV PA ( S E P T 25) What do you think of when you hear the words “string quintet”? Black tie and evening wear? Sleep worthy classical music? Whatever you thought of, toss it out the window. The Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts at Rudder will be opening its doors on September 25 at 7 p.m. to the noteworthy string quintet Sybarite5, who has created something exquisite and the first of its kind.

Since Sybarite5 began, they have been paving their own path into the music industry. Their blend of classical string instruments with an electric modern twist is phenomenal. Their songs range from soft classical to Led Zeppelin, making their repertoire quite the mixture.

The group is composed of five members who each bring a distinct flavor to the overall performance—Sami Merdinian and Sarah Whitney on violins, Angela Pickett on viola, Laura Metcalf on cello and Louis Levitt playing the bass. With an assortment of talent and ideas such as this, Sybarite5 is able to mold itself into many different styles of music besides the classic string melody.

Sybarite5 has three albums out currently, with more to come. Their most recent was released this past year, and they are finishing up their nationwide tour here in Texas. Their compositions have been turning heads across the US since they play outside the lines of the usual string quartet sound.

Tickets are on sale in the Rudder Lobby or online at the Texas A&M box office website, $7 per person or $5 for students. They’ll go quickly, so jump on the opportunity while you can!

Local Coffee Shops

A huge pro of living in the Bryan/College Station area is the abundance of coffee. No matter what kind of ambiance you crave, BCS has a coffee shop to fit your mood. There’s something so quaint and comforting about going to a shop that isn’t part of the large corporate conglomerates. Whether you need to get work done, relax, or socialize with friends, BCS offers several places for you to get your caffeine fix in.

Lupa’s Coffee, located on Texas Avenue and Southwest Parkway, not only serves great lattes, but great vibes, too. Walking into the shop instantly makes you want to curl up with a novel and a hot mug of coffee. The soft, warm lighting and friendly staff entices you to stay and enjoy the moment rather than picking up coffee to go. With several seating options and an adorable chalkboard wall that guests can doodle on, Lupa’s creates an essence of

practicality and coziness. If you are wondering who Lupa is, the shop is named after the owner’s dog, who often stops by for guest appearances. Lupa’s always seems to have a steady flow of guests, but accommodates by Destiny Turner everyone for seating. Open weekdays 7a.m.

- 1a.m. and weekends 8a.m. - 1a.m., Lupa’s Coffee serves an array of teas, coffees, and breakfast options. Our recommendation would be their Canadian latte, which is a sweet frothy latte with cinnamon and maple syrup.

The Brew Coffeehouse is a local coffee shop quite new to College Station. Attached to Connecting Point Church on Harvey Road, the Brew offers a huge selection of latte flavors, specialty coffees and teas. The interior of the coffeehouse feels industrial with open brick walls and high beam ceilings, yet they juxtapose their open layout structure with comfy couches and cute wooden tables. If

you are there to hole up for a long period, order their house brewed coffee in a mug and you’ll receive unlimited free refills! Another tasty recommendation would be their Secret Handshake latte—a delicious and rich mixture of Ghirardelli white chocolate, caramel and vanilla.

Gogh Gogh Coffee Company is a hidden gem of College Station, sitting right off S Highway 6 just past Harley Davidson. The atmosphere feels artistic and sophisticated with the open, simple floor plan, huge windows, and an array of Van Gogh’s art painted on the walls. A unique aspect of this coffee shop is that in the evening, they begin serving craft beers and wine along with their normal selection of coffeehouse options. A fan favorite is their Midnight Cafe-coffee with notes of hazelnut and chocolate.Gogh Gogh Coffee Company is open 7a.m.-7 p.m. every day for all your coffee and happy hour needs.
