One of the biggest hurdles in fitness is knowing what to do when you hit the gym. How long do you run on the treadmill? Should you run on the treadmill? Do you even know what a treadmill is? Should you do yoga? Hot yoga? Is that even a thing? What about weight lifting? How many reps of how many sets of whatever workout should you being doing? It can easily get overwhelming. Check out MoveWith, an app that basically puts a personal trainer in the palm of your hand. MoveWith offers users unlimited access to hundreds of guided audio workouts in over 10 fitness categories, including meditation, strength and yoga. New classes are added weekly, and workouts can be customized to your fitness needs. There is one catch though, the in-app purchase. Before you can even access the workouts, you have to purchase a subscription. Either cough up $12.99 per month or $83.99 for a year. That sounds steep, but, considering what a real personal trainer costs, it’s not that bad. And if you need help knowing what to do in the gym, it might be the perfect app for you.
happy death day
by Justin Walker
MOVIE REVIEW
We have all had that one birthday that really sucked. Now imagine having to live that day over and over again, only each time you are brutally murdered by a creep in a baby mask. That’s exactly what Jessica Rothe’s character has to endure in the Christopher B. Landon directed “Happy Death Day.” Theresa “Tree” Gelbman (Rothe) is forced to relive her birthday—and murder—until she figures out who the killer is and stops whoever it is for good. “Happy Death Day” introduces a number of potential suspects: the awkward boy-next-door type whose bed Tree continuously wakes up in, the disgruntled roommate, the possessive ex-boyfriend, the married professor she is shacking up with and the married professor’s wife. Pretty much anyone who interacts with Tree is under suspicious, because, well, let’s face it, she is not winning any popularity contests. Tree is tasked with solving the mystery alone, since she is the only one that remembers the previous incarnations. This film could have been yet another who-done-it/murder/teen/seen-it-before film, but that is not what happened. “Happy Death Day,” despite its outlandish plot, is smart. While not exactly original (it’s basically the love child of “Scream” and “Groundhog Day”), it still feels new, unexplored and creative. Though suspenseful, the film strays away from the blood and guts that many in the genre rely on. With a pleasant dose of comedy and major character development mixed in, “Happy Death Day” is the surprise film of the season.

You know, maybe that one birthday wasn’t that bad after all…
ARTIST: P!nk ALBUM: Beautiful Trauma RELEASED: Oct. 13, 2017
ALBUM REVIEW The girl punk rock legend, who I’m sure all of us have jammed out to at least once, is back. Released Oct. 13, P!nk’s new album, “Beautiful Trauma” will mark this rock star’s seventh studio album in her 17-yearlong singing career. This mom of two seemingly put her life on hold to raise six-year-old daughter Willow and nine-month old son Jameson. Although she hasn’t released an album in five years, this rocker Mom is bouncing back and giving this year’s hot young contemporaries a run for their money. This female power anthem album contains 13 tracks, all co-written by P!nk and a compilation of A-list producers, who helped her to hone and mold her continuously growing and changing sound. Along with her new album, a short Apple Music Film was released this past Friday, which gives fans a look at life behind the scenes for P!nk. The short allows the audience
to have an insightful look at motherhood and all that her busy musical career actually entails. This documentary dives into who the “real” woman behind P!nk is, Alecia Beth Moore, and the amazing talent and strength that makes her who she is. The song “Barbies” really hit home with me, because I can so easily empathize and relate to P!nk. Over time I feel like this female empowering rocker has gone through many transformations and changes. This album is truly insightful, maybe because this new mother now has a new understanding of life and the importance it has to her. Her music is of a timeless quality, with chilling vocals. This woman stuns listeners once again by singlehandedly relating to almost every woman’s struggles in one way or another. P!nk is a role model for us all, because, even though she has gone through rough times, she has proved that it is possible to rise up and continue. She has changed for the better and taught others her self-learned lessons along the way.

Brazos bingo got a makeover One of the oldest bingo halls in the Brazos Valley has received a makeover. Brazos Bingo recently updated their facilities, changing the interior, switching the smoking and non-smoking rooms and updating computers for electronic bingo stations. Jason Pohl, hall manager, said the renovations were necessary for continued growth and success. Brazos Bingo first opened in 1986 and moved to its current location in 1991, to accommodate for a growing number of patrons. Pohl believes the bingo hall has continued to grow due to its altruistic nature. “It’s charitable bingo,” Pohl said. “We give back as much as we can and people seem to appreciate that.” Currently, Brazos Bingo raises proceeds for five charities in the Brazos Valley: St. Joseph Catholic Church; St. Joseph Catholic School; Bubba Moore Memorial Group, Inc.; Scotty’s House Brazos Valley Child Advocacy Center, Inc.; and the College Station Professional Fire Fighter’s Association. Pohl hopes the renovations also help bring in the next generation of bingo players.

“It’s always the goal to expand your reach,” Pohl said. Judy Marrs is a lifelong resident of the Brazos Valley and has enjoyed evenings with friends and family playing bingo. Marrs is excited about the recent changes to Brazos Bingo and the potential impact it will have on her experience. “I’ve played bingo with a few different crowds, most recently a younger group of friends,” said Marrs. “We all had a blast. It was a great environment. But I can’t wait to go and see how much has changed.” While Marrs has made a few trips to Brazos Bingo over the years, she is planning on attending more in the future. She is confident that the updated the venue will only add to the enjoyment bingo nights always bring. “It’s always a great time, regardless of how well you end up doing.” Brazos Bingo is located at 1805 Briarcrest Drive in Bryan and is open seven days a week.

odd folks at Revolution Café and Bar
College Station band Odd Folks takes pride in being different. A mix of punk, indie and post-rock gives listeners sounds they’ve never heard before, which is something that Odd Folks takes great pleasure in. Don’t stay confined to the box of normality. Be weird. Be an odd folk. What began as five strangers in a small musical ensemble class here at Texas A&M soon turned into five bandmates about to have the time of their lives. Although the band has only been playing together for two years, Odd Folks is no stranger to the community. Despite being a relatively young band, they have already began to generate some waves, sharing the stage with the likes of Turnover, David Ramirez, Ivy League, and others.
FREE ADMISSION FOR TAMU AND BLINN STUDENTS (with valid ID)
The band has been invited to play at some of the biggest venues here in town, including The Grand Stafford, Revolution Cafe and Bar and Schotzi’s. Their fantastic blend of lyric and sound have also won the band invitations to festivals like SXSW, Texas Reds Festival, Loudfest, San Marcos’ MR Festival, and So What?! Music Fest.

Another feature that sets Odd Folks apart from any other band is their amusing stage presence. From banter on stage to out of place clothing and weird noises, the band certainly knows how to perform and to keep their audience engaged. Their energy is electric beneath the stage lights, and you can really tell that this is a band whose members are best friends. Reading about these guys is not enough. Take the time on Oct. 28 to see them live at Revolutions Bar and Cafe. The guys will be celebrating their newest album, ‘Broozer,” which will go on sale officially on October 31. But if you like it too much to wait, worry not- there will be physical copies of the album at the show. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. That isn’t all, folks! In addition, the band will be hosting the annual Halloween cover set and costume party. Corusco, LUCA, and Daniel Gonzales will be joining in the celebration of a new album and Halloween. Get on down to Revolution on Oct. 28, for your chance to let your weird shine.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: DOUBLE FEATURE by Hannah Pena
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be surprised to learn that the original “Dracula” was created around the same time as the first scary movie. Bram Stoker published “Dracula” in 1897, actually about six months after George Méliès, an early film director, released his silent short film “Le Manoir du diable,” or “The Haunted Castle.” Stoker’s main villain has practically dominated the vampire trope since the publication of the novel, at least until very recently, and Dracula got his first movie in 1931. Representations of vampires in films have changed in the past 80 plus years, and the 1931 film, directed by Tod Browning, presents an unequivocally evil, selfish and destructive character. Browning’s “Dracula” does not play out exactly the same way the novel does. It combines a few characters and narrows the scope of the plot a little, but the basic premise remains the same. Dracula is a powerful vampire who has lived in Transylvania for centuries, but he has finally grown tired of his isolation and attempts to move to London. For those interested in the way the stories around our monsters have changed, the Forsyth Galleries are hosting a “Night at the Museum: Creature Double Feature” on Sunday, Oct. 26. This event will feature Browning’s “Dracula,” as well as the 1968 classic “Night of the Living Dead.” “Night of the Living Dead” pits normal humans against a much less cunning evil character - zombies. Director George A. Romero’s classic film follows a couple whose visit to their family is interrupted by a sudden plague of insatiable undead. Zombies are another breed of monster that has been adapted to fit so many different narratives, but this film is one of the first to take on hordes of the creatures. So if you’re either interested in a thoughtful critique of the way representations of these monsters have evolved over time or just looking for a good scare, the Forsyth Galleries are the place to be to experience this spooky double feature. The event is free, but space is limited, so you can RSVP through their website.

make your mark at blaze pizza
by Daly Witt ‘Make Your Mark’ – the motto for the newest flame-cooked pizza place in town, Blaze Pizza – perfectly embodies the restaurant’s mission. Manager Shawn Jordan said that ‘Making Your Mark’ characterizes the heart behind Blaze. “It really is the Blaze experience,” Jordan said. “There aren’t many places I can wear my hat backwards. We all get to ‘Make Our Mark;’ we embrace uniqueness.” This industrial-style restaurant projects a modern feel with ample space. The operating assembly line, the high-rise ceilings and the concrete floors all add to the industrialized environment. Jordan explained that Blaze excels in the pizza industry due to their top-notch ingredients. “We truly have quality-made pizza with wholesome ingredients all made in-house fresh everyday,” Jordan said. Jordan described how Blaze’s chef has a large influence
over their quality product and how the chef chooses the ingredients with purpose. “Chef Brad Kent, also known as the Pizza Whisperer, went through about 40 different sea salts to ensure the best product was used,” Jordan said. “I also saw him comparing several different pepperonis to guarantee the best color and quality.” The menu consists of build-your-own pizzas, signature pizzas, simple salads, desserts, cold drinks and some alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine. The pizza production process all begins with an assembly line of their fresh ingredients. A build-your-own pizza offers customers great bang for their buck. An unlimited number of toppings can accompany the generously sized, personal pizza for only $8.25. Now comes decision time. Chef Kent curates the crispy crust to customers liking

AGGIE CORN MAZE by the Texas A&M Agronomy Society by Azalea Andrade
It is fall galore, with pumpkin patches, corn mazes and even haunted houses. Corn mazes are such an entertaining way to hang out with your friends or significant other, so come out of the 3rd Annual Texas A&M Themed Corn Maze. The maze opened on October 14th, and it is open every Saturday and Sunday through November 5th. Texas A&M Agronomy Society started this corn maze three years ago, with the intention of blending the fall spirit with some education. They wanted to teach students and the public aware about agriculture, while raising money to send students to national conferences. On opening weekend, the Agronomy Society donated one dollar from each ticket sold to the Hurricane Harvey relief fund. Although it is a fun experience, guests are encouraged to asked questions about agriculture after completing the corn maze. This will give them the full experience, as well as some facts about how vital agriculture is for our world.
If you are not up for the corn maze challenge but still want to help out some great Aggies, there will also be food stands, a pumpkin patch and several booths hosted by various A&M student organizations. On different weekends, there are also other kinds of entertainment, such as the Aggie Wranglers, a petting zoo or a haunted corn maze. A Halloween maze will be open on Tuesday, October 31st, 5 p.m to 9 p.m. Don’t forget, the corn maze will be closed on home football gamedays, so be sure to coordinate your visit. Instead, the maze will open October 27 and November 3, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Be sure to come out and support this great society and cause. The hours of the maze are 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Tickets are only $7 dollars per person, and any kid under 5 is free. Bring all your friends, because if you have 10 or more in your group, you get two dollars off per ticket.

P.O.V. COFFEEHOUSE
> Lattes and locality at P.O.V. Coffeehouse
by Carrington Elliot
Settled in the heart of the new Lake Walk Town Center in Bryan, community meets customer service at P.O.V. Coffeehouse. Hot lattes, warm sticky buns and meaningful conversations wait inside the eclectic building.
An orderly display case shows off P.O.V.’s home-made treats on wooden boards. Kolaches, croissants, and a selection of daily pies tempt the senses while debating a decision.
More than just a coffeehouse, P.O.V. offers a varietal menu of hand-crafted pastries, beverages, charcuterie boards and grab-and-go lunches. These items range from $2 to $20. P.O.V. provides the opportunity to try a selection of local brews and wines— all at reasonable price points.
One option steals the show — the sticky bun. With a nudge from the barista, the sticky bun slips into the oven. A divine aroma infiltrates the air. The sticky bun, a P.O.V. specialty. A cheat-on-your-diet type of treat. Handmade in-house, this signature pastry tastes like a perfected version of grandma’s monkey bread. The sticky bun finds an ideal balance of cinnamon and pecan, drizzled with a maple-bourbon glaze. A flaky outer edge surrounds the gooey, buttery center. While the sticky bun diffuses its aroma, the familiar smell of freshly roasted coffee fights for attention. A sleek Modbar espresso system serves up piping-hot espresso drinks. Coffee beans travel from Merit Roasting down the road in San Antonio, another aspect of local incorporation. A coffeehouse wouldn’t be a coffeehouse without a carefully crafted cup of
Inside floor-to-ceiling glass walls hides a refreshingly sophisticated interior. The flow is clear. Walk in, order, then grab a seat. An open-air concept influences the space. The clean appearance features white walls, black detailing and wooden tables to create an industrializedfarmhouse style. Unexpected pops of color add interest to the space. Cacti-patterned wallpaper stretches across the focal wall, representing P.O.V.’s intention to incorporate Texas-based ingredients in their food and beverages.
P.O.V. COFFEEHOUSE Joe. Each drink, tailored to the customer’s request, falls within the $4 to $5 price range. A menu of P.O.V. creations offers guidance. Choose between a Sunrise — an Americano with caramel flavoring, or a Sunset — a white mocha latte with a caramel drizzle. Or go with a chai; the chai latte serves up a delightful balance of spicy and sweet, with a dreamy foam top. The inviting atmosphere and friendly employees encourage customers to find a space and make themselves at home. Making the customer a priority is an evident goal of the staff here. According to Peggy Trott, the general manager of the property, the goal of the coffeehouse as a whole is

to become a place where guests can come in, feel welcomed, and share their point of view. Hence the name, P.O.V.— Point of View. Outside seating is ample. A combination of cafe tables and long cedar picnic tables fill the area. P.O.V is the ideal place to study for a class or catch up with a friend over a shared sticky bun. The location, close to the Stella Hotel and Lake Walk Town Center, creates an ideal setting to sit outside and take in the morning or evening. Community, customer service, and a delicious handcrafted menu, paired with a relaxing and convenient place to grab a cup of coffee, make P.O.V a great place to come and stay a while. As stated on P.O.V.’s website, the invitation extends to all to “come share your point of view.” And don’t forget the sticky bun!

inktober release your creativity with the october art project by Jaclyn Ysaquirre
At times, our minds wander, and we find ourselves doodling random sketches on the outer margins of a sheet of paper. Whether we are in class taking notes or in a work meeting, we are all guilty of it. Well, the month of October supports these freehanded illustrations in what is now known as Inktober. Inktober is an ink drawing challenge that takes place throughout the month of October. Amateur and professional artists all over the world are encouraged to take part in this 31 day challenge. No special tools are required, you just need a pen, paper and your imagination. The official rules follows: make a drawing in ink, post it online with the captions #INKTOBER and #INKTOBER2017, and repeat every day for 31 days. Inktober was created by illustrator and cartoonist Jake Parker. For about 15 years, his artwork has been featured in short-story comics and animated films. He has worked with popular clients such as Disney Animation, Marvel, Google, Warner Brothers Animation and Blue Sky Studios. Nowadays, he freelances his artwork out of his home studio. With a passion for drawing, Parker wanted to explore the different aspects of his art. He wanted to remember what it felt like to draw for himself and why he fell in love with drawing in the first place. Breaking it down to just a pen and paper, Parker embraces creativity in a minimalist form.
Parker believes that his drawing challenge allows people to form positive drawing habits. People are able to expand their creativity and practice discipline by drawing whatever their mind visualizes. For some, it can be difficult to come up with ideas on what to draw. Parker has included an official prompt list that lays out the drawing topic each day for the whole month. This list will give people the opportunity to be inspirational and make the best out of their art prompt. Also, Parker has provided YouTube tutorials, such as “How to Ink” to help those who want to participate in the drawing challenge but lack creative drawing skills. In celebration of Inktober, Viz North Art Gallery and Studio will host their own exhibition, in partnership with Downtown Bryan’s Artoberfest event. The gallery will display Inktober artworks created by Texas A&M students in the Department of Visualization. We might not all be a Picasso, but join our local artists and participate in this creative event! As you create your daily illustration, following Inktober’s prompt list, upload your artwork to tx.ag/inktober. Viz North will also be accepting artworks in person at their office on Langford C106. The Inktober showcase will take place on November’s First Friday. Submit your masterpiece for display and have a chance of making your drawing come alive as a vinyl sticker!

BOOK REVIEW
LILAC GIRLS BY MARTHA HALL KELLY
“Lilac Girls,” written by Martha Hall Kelly, is a powerful story and a page turner. The pages offer glimpses into history’s most chilling era, Nazi Germany, and brings up some frightening memories. Inspired by real events, “Lilac Girls” is profound and thought-provoking, an old-fashioned classic that begs you not to put it down. The lives of three women are set to collide, as their stories cross continents, from New York to Paris, Germany, and Poland, and as these women fight to bring justice to those that history has forgotten. New York Socialite Caroline Ferriday has her schedule all full with the French consulate and with a new love on the horizon. Just when Caroline believes all is well, her world is flipped upside down, as news breaks of Hitler invading Poland and then France. An ocean away, Kasia Kuzmerick is a Polish teenager whose once carefree spirit is beginning to wither, as she delves deeper into her role as messenger for an underground resistance movement. One false move, and Kasia will face consequences no one could have predicted. Ambitious and young, Herta Oberheuser is a German doctor, who sees her shining beacon of hope when an ad for a government medical position appears before her. Things soon take a turn, when Herta finds herself trapped among Nazi secrets. “Lilac Girls” is hauntingly beautiful. It is emotion-ridden and compelling. This time in history is so terrifying that it is difficult to remember that it was never fiction, and often times is difficult to read. “Lilac Girls” offered me a new perspective of history, one that won’t easily be forgotten.

IN THE KITCHEN
With KELLY
Life is busy enough, isn’t it? Don’t get me wrong: The start of fall is absolutely my favorite time of year, but when the holiday marathon begins to roll through town, us moms have to move that shifter into overdrive and put the petal to the metal. It’s party time. Literally. So. Many. Parties. So many programs. It can be tough to keep up. And, as much as we would all like to be crowned “Mom of the Year,” we can’t Betty Crocker every school function, now can we? No. Sometimes we need a little bit of a break; a little more free time, if you will. This festive Halloween treat will allow you to get into the kitchen and get out quick, without even having to turn on the oven, giving you more time to do... well, one of the other million items likely pending on your list.
Halloween chocolate covered pretzels are made easy via the use of melting chocolate wafers. The wafers melt down easily and smooth, with no tempering required. You will find melting them is quick and easy work. You just follow the directions as indicated on the package, and you’re done. Chocolate is ready for dipping. Or drinking. Whatever. Now, when it comes to decorating chocolatedipped confections, the best decoration for chocolate covered treats are jimmies (they are skinny and look like miniature candy tubes) and nonpareils (tiny, little candy balls). Because these are Halloween treats, I also used small candy eyeballs for an extra spooky look.
Melt the chocolate wafers according to package instructions, and transfer to a tall and slender (food-safe) container. Dip each pretzel in the chocolate, shaking off as much excess chocolate as possible. Take the un-dipped side of the pretzel rod and gently tap it on the wax paper, allowing the chocolate to drape down the sides of the pretzel. Sprinkle the chocolate dipped pretzel with decals and set on the wax paper to set. Allow to set for about 1 hour. Once the chocolate is firm to the touch, serve and enjoy. Makes about 20 Chocolate Pretzel Rod Worms.
So busy moms, this one is for you. Cause the fact is, if you can melt butter, you can make this super easy, super fast Halloween treat. Chocolate-covered pretzel rods make for excellent class party treats, and if you are a hostess with the mostess or a Halloween tablescape guru, it might peak you’re interest to know pretzel rods will add a great deal of height to your spread. They are undeniably festive and pret-ty darn tasty too. The perfect addition to any Halloween party. Please, enjoy. For more Halloween recipe, go to www.TheAnthonyKitchen.com, and click the Halloween category! Ingredients: 4 ounces mixed Halloween jimmies and nonpareils 1 (10 ounce) package dark chocolate melting wafers (preferably Ghirardelli) 1 (12 ounce) package pretzel rods 1 (1 ounce) package small candy eye decals Method: Have ready a large work surface lined with wax paper. Combine jimmies, nonpareils and candy eye decals in a small bowl and set aside.
