EDITOR-IN-CHIEFpus. No, we're spending copious amounts of money so we can actually learn something. However, Once again, UFV has received high marks in the Globe and Mail that doesn't mean university administration should focus their university report card.

One could debate whether · or versities, we scored very poorly on "Food Services." We received not this survey is actually accurate a big fat C-. While that wasn't as (afterall, how many UFV students bad as our hungry neighbours at filled out the survey, and do we really know how our libraries stack Kwantlen, it's still not something up in comparison to, say, McGill's to brag about.

What does this mean? UFV has library?), but this survey did make horrible food, just like many other one thing abundantly clear: stuschools across the country. These dents are not happy with the food services on campus. poor marks weren't mentioned I'm not happy with the food in the press release UFV put out; services here. Casey's is great, but instead, it focused on areas where we received Xs and B's. But hope- they don't have breakfast. When I headed over to cafeteria for breakfully somebody is taking note.

Academics are important. We fast this morning, I was informed aren't spending thousands of dol- that they wouldn't be open until 8

a.m. If I lived on campus, and had an 8:30 a.m. class, where would I eat a hot breakfast?

To make matters worse, the agreement the university signed with Sodexho (the group providing food services on campus) that prohibits other food services from coming onto campus. Want to have a bake sale? Sorry, not if there have already been two other food sales this month. Casey's isn't technically allowed to run on campus. Ah, but you are able to get a rather soggy tuna sandwich from the cafeteria.

All of this forces students to go off campus for good, reasonably priced food.

UFV needs to step up and start providing students with a place to get inexpensive, good food. Thus far, the SUS has been the group on campus trying to take care of students. They've provided students with a pub so students can get cheaper food; they've provided students with a U-Pass so we can get to cheaper food without losing

a parking spot; they've given students a gym pass so they can use some adequate recreational facilities (perhaps to work off that hamburger: you had in the cafeteria ...).

All UFV has done is given a cafeteria company a monopoly on food services here on campus. And to top it off, they provide expensive, low quality food and keep bad hours.

The food situation has actually become a hindrance to student life. Food sales on campus to raise money are limited. This forces groups to look for alternative forms of funding, since SUS only covers three-quarters of the funding for events.

But beyond that, who wants to meet up on campus for dinner?

We're basically being encouraged to leave for food.

We hear a lot of talk about creating a campus culture here. The first step is keeping students on campus. And bad food services won't keep us here.

South Asian Lecture Series: Just between friends Lecture details howCanada-US relations changed ofter9/11 ALEX WATKINS NEWSWRITER How does a country strike a balance between fighting terrorism and protecting the human rights of its citizens?

This was one of the many questions posed at the lecture held in the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies on Wednesday, October 20. The lecture was titled "Just Between Friends: Bilateral Cooperation, Bounded Sovereignty and the Human Rights Dilemma." The event was hosted by the University of Western Washington's Dr. Bidisha Biswas, a political science professor. It was part of UFV's South Asian Lecture Series.

The lecture was divided into two parts. The first of which explored the ways in which Canadian-US relations have changed since 9/11, which is evidenced in changes to immigration policies and security measures. The second part examined the inevitable human-rights dilemmas that occur when dealing with the challenges of countering terrorism.

Biswas asserted that Canada and the US have historically had a strong trust-based relationship that was altered after the events of 9/11. Handling the issues of security has become a tense matter, as the US has anxiety about some Canadian policies; their perception of Canada as too liberal and immigrant-friendly, paired with worries about the difficulty of securing the large Canada-US bor-

der, has led the US to view Canada as the source of a potential threat.

The 9/11 commission report identified Canada as a country of concern, not as the perpetrator of a threat but as the potential source of it, due to its approach to immigration and to the known existence of active terrorist groups in the country.

As a result, the US has requested that Canada tighten its border policy. Canada is largely deferen-

tial to US demands, and although the many domestic changes unveiled around the time of the 9/11 attacks wete claimed to be ·protecting Canadian interests - such. as the Anti-Terror Act of 2001 and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of 2002 - it is clear that Canada still had (and continues to have) a serious interest in meeting US demands, both due to trade ties and due to the protection that the US offers via its strong rnili-

tary force.

Here Biswas noted that the relationship between Canada and the US has historically been one of "asymmetrical interdependency," in which the power balance is unequal, though both countries benefit from the partnership.

Biswas stated that, although Canada was largely deferential during this time, there were some marked incidences of resistance to US hegemony.

One example given was Canada's refusal to assist the US in invading Iraq. Another was the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen who was held at the US border as a terrorist suspect and was deported to Syria where he was tortured; following this, Canada altered its process in order to make it more difficult for the US to obtain information on Canadian citizens, effectively slowing terrorist-related communication. These incidences have shown that, while Canadian sovereignty is still strongly bound to the US, it is not determined.

Although most of the anxiety immediately following 9/11 has died down, Biswas argued that there still continues to be a perceived threat of terrorism. Antiterrorist measures often involve the problem of racial profiling, which sterns from the fear that immigrants- (particularly Muslims) pose a threat. One issue with racial profiling is that, in Canada, law enforcement on the basis of religion is criminal. Another major issue is that data reveals that

this method isn't really effective in catching criminals.

Biswas suggests that the behavior of individuals is the most important area to focus on, rather than faith or appearance. However, she said that behavior may be unavoidably linked to faith, which becomes a problem; for example, if one notices that a mosque in the ·area has suddenly begun preaching a radical form of Islam.

Here Biswas emphasizes the difficulty in striking a. balance.

She asked: "Is it worth it to alienate a population based on a possible threat?" As she notes, some protective steps taken by government may actually be dangerous to democratic unity. She asserts that the best way to find balance is to study the experiences of other countries with the same problem and to constantly re-examine related public policy. , Additionally, Biswas argued that it is up to citizens to constantly question their leaders on issues surrounding security, rather than simply accepting that the organizations and/or individuals being dealt with are really a risk.

UFV will continue to host a variety of speakers on topics related to South-Asian issues. The next lecture in the series is "Computer Analysis and Synthesis of the Punjabi Language," and will feature Dr. Surinder Dhanjal of Thompson River University. It will be held on Tuesday, November 9 at 7pm in the Centre for Indo-Canadian studies at U-house.

UFV Scores High in University Report Food Services andPublic Transportation Dragging TheAverage Down PAULE. BRAMMER NEWS& OPINIONEDITOR The University of the Fraser Valley has scored high again in the Globeand Mail"s annual University Report.

In the main categories outlined by the Report's magazine, the University scored their highest grades in: Class Size (A+);Quality of Education (A);Student - Faculty Interaction (A); and Ease of Course Registration (A). The school also received A - for Student Satisfaction and Quality of Teaching.

The more detailed grades and comparison at the University's webpage also rewarded the school an A + for Personal Safety and Security on campus, and all but one of the University's B, B+ or B - grades either equaled or bettered the national average at schools of the same size. The Globe and Mail report defines a "small" school as any institution which has an enrolment of 4,000 to 12,000full-time students.

Judging from the graded reUFV scored C+ grades in Availsults, the statistic where the uni- ability and Affordability of Offversity appears to be head and Campus Housing, which was shoulders above other schools na- equal to the national average.

the equal of the national average.

The worst score in terms of grade received and comparison to the national average was Availability to Public Transportation - the national average at schools of the same size was B -, and UFV scored aC-.

The university did not detail the scores it received below A in a comparative table which, at first glance, suggests that UFV compares very well to other B.C. universities such as UBC, SFU and

UVic. Indeed, in many aspects (such as class size and student-faculty interaction), UFV is a leader within the province, and, as the official UFV statement said, "UFV earned the most 'A range' grades for any public post-secondary institution of any size in British Columbia."

Of the five things in "What Students Say" about UFY, class sizes ranked second on the list, along with "Inexpensive tuition" and "Narrow field of course offer-

ings." Also, Criminology, Nursing, Aviation, Business and Kinesiology were five subjects reserved for special "kudos" by the report.

UFV also ranked in lists of specific questions designed to ascertain what kind of personality a school has. UFV ranked sixth in ten of schools that are engaged in local issues, and sixth of ten in curricula that are "more applied than theoretical or practical." The school also ranked seventh of ten in ui;i.iversities where professors tend to be casual with students, and third of ten in schools that "tries to spread resources evenly across all areas."

UFV President Mark Evered welcomed the grades, and said that they "confirm that we are succeeding in our mandate of providing excellent, student-focused, educational opportunities. They also indicate that we are on track with our strategic goal of providing the best undergraduate education in Canada."

The Globeand Mail report asked 35,000 students nationwide 100 questions each, and from those answers developed a mean score which is converted into a grade based on a maximum of 9.0 points for each variable. For example, 8.2 points or greater is an A +, 7.8to 8.2 is an A, and so on.

The University Report can be viewed as an e-magazine by visiting www.globecampus.ca, where a detailed report of UFV's grades and a comparison to the national average can also be found.

Are Mennonites Part of a Religion or an Ethnicity?

AUFV Panel Discussion TREVORFIK STAFF WRITER The inaugural Mennonite Studies Lecture Series took place at the Abbotsford campus on Tuesday, October 19;this coincided with the announcement that UFV will offer a certificate in Mennonite Studies in the fall semester of 2011.

Community members, along with staff and students, packed the BlOl lecture hall in order to try and answer the question: what constitutes Mennonite studies?

Individuals at the lecture were treated to a series of analyses from a panel whose members who were comprised of professors from such diverse areas as Winnipeg, Ontario and Trinity Western University in British Columbia.

The series was introduced by UFV president Dr. Mark Evered, who noted that the university Senate had voted unanimously to approve the Mennonite Studies Certificate program a week earlier.

One of the goals of the program, as noted by Evered, is to provide "reflections of the diverse community in what is being provided by educators at the university."

With the Fraser Valley having a large number of individuals who identify themselves as Mennonite, Doctor Steven Schroeder, the Mennonite Studies coordinator and a member of the history faculty at UFY, said that the time was ripe to "introduce the UFV community to Mennonite studies that is prevalent worldwide."

Enrolment continues to risein Atlantic Canada Full-time enrolment isupat universities across Atlantic Canada forthesecond yearinarow.

Numbers released lastweekbytheAssociation ofAtlantic Universities suggest a2.2percent increase infull-timestudents intheregionthis yearoverlast-that'sabout1,821morestudents.

"I thinktherearethreereasons forthat;'saidAAU executive director PeterHalpin.

"The wide range of courses that will be offered in the Mennonite Studies program at UFV will allow students to understand objectively the history, culture and faith of the Mennonite people, and to analyze critically this community that contributes significantly, in many ways, to the Fraser Valley region," he said.

The evening's panel discussion centered on the debate over whether the term Mennonite con-

stitutes an ethnicity, a religion or both.

The first speaker, Dr. Royden Loewen, who is the Chair of Mennonite ,Studies at the University of Winnipeg, touched upon this idea in his lecture. He explained that the central means by which determining if Mennonite can be labelled as either a religion or ethnicity, relies on historian's interpretation of narratives; social etiquette and religious symbols. The

label Mennonite further relies on ah individual's self-identification with the group, as this is the most important feature in determining whether someone can be determined to be Mennonite.

Dr. Loewen further said that central to a Mennonite Studies certificate is the inclusion of several different disciplines of study, including psychology and sociology. rhese varying perspectives are required in order to understand

the complex nature of a type of heritage, and they are n~cessary to answer the question of what characteristics make up the Mennonite people.

Dr. Marlene Epp continued the discussion on Mennonite identity by reviewing Mennonites in the larger context of a Canadian identity; she commented that, only when we figure out what it means to be Canadian can we move towards answering the question of what is a Mennonite.

Dr. Bruce Guenther of Trinity Western University focused his discussion on how the Mennonite Study program at UFV can achieve the most success, as evident by his experience maintaining the program at his own school. With over 200 denominations worldwide, Dr. Guenther emphasized the importance in establishing a Mennonite Studies program that is both comprehensive in its scope of study and is seen as acceptable to experts in the field.

The Mennonite Studies certificate is an 18-22 credit certification that was made for individuals seeking employment in the public service sector, social policy and in church work. Those who are interested in entering the program can find more information on the UFV website, or contact program coordinator Steven Schroeder at steven.schroeder@ufv.ca, or contact the program assistant Marlene Murray at marlene.murray@ufv.ca

Campus talks are a waste of time: Halifax MP SAMANTHA DURNFORD DALHOUSIE GAZETTE

HALIFAX (CUP) - Megan Leslie says members of Parliament don't waste their time on· campus because people under 30 don't vote - and · there's something wrong with this.

Leslie, the MP for Halifax, visited Dalhousie University on Oct. 19 to discuss how students can effectively engage MPs on pressing social issues. In the question and answer period, she began to discuss the problem with student engagement and why MPs may not seem to care about student issues.

"I'm not going to waste my time trying to get votes from people under 30 because people under 30 don't vote," Leslie said. "My campaign manager is going to tell me to stop going to Dalhousie campus because you're wasting your time.

You should go to seniors homes."

She says it's like the chicken and the egg dilemma - which came first, young people disengaging with government, or elected officials giving up on people under 30.

"It's hard. I've met with this incredible student activist here on this campus who's doing incredible things to mobilize this community on all kinds of issues, and so engaged. And he didn't vote in the last election," she said.

"There's this strange thing happening at this moment in time where young people are disengaging in the political process because it's alienating and because we aren't represented."

"We get away with that shit because no one is listening. The things that happen in the House of Commons would make your toes curl," she said.

Emily Smith van Beek, vice president of Dalhousie's politics society, says she's upset with the statement from Leslie.

"I think it's accurate that students qon't care or vote, however, it's disappointing seeing Megan Leslie, member of the NDP, make a comment like that because their

party represents really caring about students," she said. "We're the future and the only way to get students engaged is to be a presence in their lives and because there will always be that one person that will become involved and influence other young people to do the same."

She says that our political structure will crumble if elected officials give up on people our age, arguing that it's an MP's responsibility to seek out students, not the other way around.

"I think that one voice can influence a lot of people and I think that change can be heard," said Smith van Beek.

"University campuses are proof of mobilization and how word spreads, so MPs should take advantage of that and try harder to get students involved in order to influence political participation."

Despite her assessment of youth engagement, Leslie does want to see young people more involved with politics and doesn't like the fact that MPs ignore people under 30.

There are five women under the age of 40 in the House of Commons and two men under the age of 30," she said. "There should be some people in their 20s, because we pass bills on pension changes unanimously and we don't talk about post-secondary education and unemployment. These issues are dead in the House of Commons."

She also says students should get more involved in order to get better representation.

"We need to look at who we're electing and who is running," she said.

Hallo we'en is for Hedonism Sodress likeit.

SOPHIE ISBISTER STAFFWRITER All I wanted to do was be a princess for Hallowe'en. I had the pink dress, pink tights, tiara and adorable little princess shoes. But it was October 31st, and unless you're celebrating Hallowe'en near or below the equator, October 31st is usually cold and rainy business.

And that usually meant that my pretty princess costume was rudely covered with a not-so-pretty parka. Hallowe'en reeked of bitter disappointment from investing too much hope into an adorable costume, only to have it covered up with bulky layers, and it's this thought that comes to mind every year when I am determining what to wear to adult parties. When I reach for the sexy Batgirl costume, I'm making up for all those years suffering in the cold.

We all know that ladies like to wear fewer clothes on Hallowe'en.

And why shouldn't they? The traditional roots of Hallowe'en involve dressing up as ghosts and monsters to placate the spirits of the dead or scare them away. That has evolved in modern, secular society. Now, fitting with the pagan view of Samhain as a festival that ushers in the dark half of the year, Hallowe'en is felt to represent the dark and hedonistic aspects of life.

For children, that means trick-ortreating: disguising ourselves and taking to the streets to demand candy. We play pranks, gorge ourselves on cheap sugar, stay up really late and play with explosives.

Hallowe'en can be a scary time of year, as evidenced by horror movies, increased policing vigilance and old wives tales about razor blades in apples. Hallowe'en celebrates fear and deception, and the almighty Mars bar.

But how does that translate for adults? How do we celebrate hedonism? Sure, there's a healthy dose of fear, but what is more hedonistic than rampant sexual behaviour? People like to dress up sexy and show off their goods, and that's in no way limited to just ladies. Hallowe'en is the one night of the year that is a universally judgment-free, no-holds-barred, wicked and wild party. Be some-

one else, dress how you want, and don't let anyone tell you that you should celebrate Hallowe'en the "good old fashioned way." That way was fine for kids, but I think it's safe to say that, according to the modern definition of Hallowe'en, it's perfectly acceptable to get a little ridiculous with your peers.

Revealing costumes and off-the hook parties are the way that adults exorcise our demons every year. It's a time honoured tradition that doesn't include children at all. Trick or treating and adult Hallowe'en parties operate on completely separate planes of existence. Neither is better than the other. One is just a natural progression of the other.

So I say bring on the sexy nurse costume. Be a sexy crayon. Be a sexy witch or a sexy astronaut or a sexy teacher or a sexy hobo.

Do what your heart desires, and throw your inhibitions to the wind. Instead of candy, trick or treat for shots. Instead of scaring away the ghouls and spirits of All Hallow's Eve, befriend and seduce them. Be safe and look out for your friends, show respect for your fellow partying adults but also let loose and show some skin.

Adult parties have something that our childhood parties were sorely lacking: coat checks. Let's take advantage of them this year.

an atmosphere that allows people to flourish and grow, not be put down and discouraged. We all have our specializations, but that does not mean we are idiots in all other fields. I may not be able to get through a fourth year physics course, but it does not make me an idiot. It also doesn't make science the elite degree. Every degree offered in university allows people to go and fill their role in society; we need history, science, English, psychology, kinesiology, philosophy, nursing and visual arts. There is not one degree that is better than another, even though we all tend to think our field is the most important.

The last time I checked we are all here to learn. Learning is something we all have in common, no matter how much our degrees differ. I do not claim to be an English expert, nor do I claim to have the be-all-end-all opinion about art.

So the next time you decide to have some sort of egotistical power trip over someone else's education or passion for a field they may not specialize in, shut up. You may know more about the subject, but try approaching it in a manner that benefits the other person rather than shutting them down.

If you are teaching someone something about a subject you may know more about, you are only helping them learn.

And isn't that what we want, a society full of people who are smarter and well-rounded? Or are we working towards keeping people at a level where they are ignorant and afraid to achieve anything more then what is inside their comfort zone? Expand your mind, Mr. and Mrs. Pretentious; that's what the rest of us are trying to do.

Part Two of Motherhood:Whose body is it, anyway?

CHRIS BONSHOR COPYEDITOR

RAYCHEL BONSHOR NEWMOTHER This week we will continue our exploration of the practical side of what it means to be a mother by exploring the topics around the bodily changes that take place during pregnancy and motherhood. This might get a bit graphic, as bodily changes include scenes of a sexual nature.

Let's start with an anatomy lesson! When a man and a woman really love each other (or a woman decides to have a baby on her own, or something - in fact, love isn't even required) and they engage in coitus (that is, penetrative intercourse in which fertilizer is released), a fertilized ovum can implant itself on the wall of her uterus. This is the beginning of pregnancy: this is also when physical changes begin.

Early changes have to do with your body getting used to the reality that there is a foreign organism growing inside of you. The symptoms of this include the classics: nausea, tiredness, tenderness, bloating, mood swings, but also spotting and intense breast tenderness (this last one really took my wife by surprise and was our major clue, once we knew what it meant).

Later in pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the woman's uterus expands to accommodate it. This is usually accompanied by weight gain to varying degrees - some woman gain a lot of weight, especially if they were underweight to begin with, while others may gain fairly little. The breasts grow in size and the nipples usually darken permanently, as blood saturates the area (this area is going to be super sensitive for a long while, so get used to it). In addition, once the second trimester hits, lying on your back ceases to be an option, as it can cut blood flow to your developing baby.

In the last month or two of pregnancy, but especially the last couple of weeks, baby really starts to put on weight - baby is going to double in weight in about four weeks! This means that your belly is also going to undergo a huge increase in size in the last little while {unless you have a little basketball baby-belly). This is when stretch marks quite suddenly appear.

Movement becomes more difficult, breathing can become harder, heartburn becomes your constant companion and sleeping is nearly impossible because you are up every hour or two to go pee. Your feet also swell like crazy. This happened only in the last couple of weeks to my wife and was scary as hell because they turned purple it was really hot at the time, which just made it worse. If that isn't bad enough, your feet also gain a size or so permanently.

Then baby comes! Now, depending on how you deliver - about one third of mothers undergo c-sections - your body continues to change. I will focus on c-section because that was our experience.

Mom now has to juggle taking care of her new baby and recovering from major surgery. You will

have blood flow for around four weeks, which can be irritating, as you go from not having a period for almost a year to wearing a pad constantly. If you had an epidural, you may have to endure intense spinal headaches for a few days or weeks. Add to this sleepless nights and days and you can easily become overwhelmed. At this point, having as many helping hands around is a major boon, as babies need constant care and attention, especially if you are breastfeeding.

At first, breastfeeding can be extremely uncomfortable, as your nipples adjust to a sudden amount of harsh use. Buy nipple cream and know that the pain and redness will go away eventually! Getting used to breast feeding can also be a major adjustment, as getting baby to latch-on can be very difficult at first.

Let's talk about love.

During pregnancy your sex life will change. Sex during pregnancy can be great! Now, this is definitely different for every woman, as hormonal changes affect all women differently, and every woman's relationship situation is different.

If you are sick during the first trimester, you don't really want to do it. Sex is great during the second trimester, as you get the hang of pregnancy, and you are not too big and uncomfortable yet. However, as there is increased bloodflow to y<:mr down-there-bits, it is important to take things slow and be careful - as pleasure goes up so does pain. In addition, your

vaginal walls are thin, and your ability to selflubricate goes down.

So take it slow and enjoy some great foreplay with your partner, and don't be afraid to use your favourite brand of lube to help you feel comfortable.

It's also important to not feel intimidated by sex: it is not going to hurt your baby! As your due date nears, it is normal to sometimes have spotting down there from activity. In addition, sex can sometimes help start labour, though it didn't help in our case when our baby was a week late (that didn't stop us from trying though!). ' After you give birth, sex is probably going to be the last thing you are thinking about.

However, you can and should resume doin' it before long as it helps to get your uterus back down to size. Most doctors suggest waiting anywhere from three to six weeks, the latter especially if you had a c-section (we felt ready at four, despite the doctor saying "Nothing in there for six weeks!").

However, just because you can't have intercourse doesn't mean you can't do other things.

Again, if you can get some time alone, simply spend it reconnecting. It is good if you think of it as re-learning how to do everything again. Work your way up to intercourse the same as you would have when you first met. Regardless of whether or not you had a vaginal delivery, intercourse is going to hurt for the first while.

Again, do not feel pressured to go too far too fast! Take your time and enjoy yourself.

Now, with regards to birth control, if you are breastfeeding you cannot take hormonal birth control - i.e. the pill or ring. Condoms are your best bet. If you are not breastfeeding, talk to your doctor about getting back onto whatever birth control you had before pregnancy. Also invest in some good quality lube if you haven't already, as self-lubrication post-pregnancy can be very difficult. If you are breastfeeding, your ability to hibricate yourself will be compromised, as might your libido.

So there you have it. You now have a general idea of some of the physical changes that you may undergo if and when you decide to have a child. To those of you who are already mothers, this is all old hat, or you may know some things that I have missed, as every woman's experience is different.

For those of you who have not yet had a child, I hope that this article will help you to better understand an important part of your life that is, sadly, clouded by many myths in our society. Your life doesn't end with pregnancy it just changes.

as at a Gogol Bordello show. The primal energy of the band never turns into angry slam dancing or anything remotely negative. There are traditional jigs being jigged, entire songs echoed word for word and nothing but shit-eating grins on every face on the stage and in the crowd.

Despite Gogol Bordello concerts now taking on a familiarity, there were many moments of unique thrills and interest throughout the night: Hutz chiding the crowd for not knowing the Yiddish lyrics for the half-cover the band did of The Beatles "Flying," dancer/percussionist Elizabeth Sun's soaring vocal performance or even just the girl with stars in her eyes randomly putting the death grip on my hands as she came near tears.

The band itself comes from many countries: Ukraine, Russia, Ethiopia, Israel, Scotland, Hong Kong, Thailand, Ecuador and the Bordello had joined them on the_ U.S.A., but as they affectionately stage by the time their set was shook their joyful fans hands at done.

y now, most people have heard of gypsy punk mainstays, Gogol Bordello, who took up a three night residence, October 22 to 24, at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. The New York based group's newest album, Transcontinental Hustle, is the result of the dual influences of veteran producer Rick Rubin and lead singer Eugene Hutz's time spent in Brazil. Hustle combines the sounds of Latin America and Rubin's clean" and simple production with the classic gypsy punk sounds fans are familiar with. If you haven't bought the new album yet - or if you're missing any of their back catalogue - now is the time to get on it.

tress can be a killer. Not literally - I don't think anyone's been actually murdered by stress. It's more a turn of phrase than a literal declaration, so why don't you get off my case about it?

There, now I've gotten my mandatory argument with my invisible audience out of the way. These Culture Mulcher doohickeys don't manage to pull in an audience, but my word, you should see the invisible audience I get: the Invisible Man; Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man; the other guy in HollowMan 2; the invisible one off of The Fantastic Four; Frodo Baggins when he's wearing the One Ring; Harry Potter when he's wearing that invisibility cloak which is just a rip-off of the One Ring in that book that's just a rip-off of Lord of the Rings; the list goes on and on.

I'm sure my invisible audience will agree that stress can be a nonliteral killer. You need only look in your classrooms at the blood on the walls and the "No hope, no way out" smeared in excrement in the cafeteria next to the sandwiches that life as a student can be disgustingly stressful.

There's several ways you can go about combating this stress the first option is to go down the

old Kurt Cobain route and blow your motherloving head off with a large shotgun. This is not the best idea -you'll probably be dead after you do that, as the brain and kidneys and pancreas and stuff is all in your head, and you need those most of the time to stay alive.

Another way is to go down the protagonist-in-a-Bret-EastonEllis-novel route and spend your university days idling your youth away, paying little to no attention to your work, trying to slip your dirty love into anything that has a pulse and complaining about how difficult your life is.

Though this route may seem

appealing at first glance, allow me to be the one to pop your narcissistic bubble - though somehow Ellis manages to make his books riveting and remarkable despite the crushing unlikability of pretty much of all of his characters, you will not get very far in school by taking this route. You're not at a disgustingly rich-enough school for your grades and academic results to not matter, and your dad's probably not a CEO, so he can't get you a six-figure yearly wage for hanging out, doing coke and killing hookers.

Other than that, you pretty much have insanity which, although initially appealing, does involve drooling and soiling yourself. A bit like being from Hope, all told. The last option, and the one that most of us chumps stump for, is gritting our cavity-ridden teeth and getting on with it. , It's what I do. Since day one of this interminable yet fleeting semester, I've been busier than a commandant at Belsen in 1945. A couple of weeks ago I got so busy that I forgot to breathe and blink for sixteen hours - when the paramedics broke my door down my eyes were all scabbed over and I

Anyway, back to the stress. My was going "Can't breathe ...need ... air" like Peter Parker used to do in boss and/or my wife might disagree with me, on account of my the old Spidermancartoons.

ity. The comedic one-liners were timed perfectly, and the faces John Malkovich made were priceless. It was hard to get through a scene without laughing. Many Weeds fans will be sorry to hear we don't see May-Louise Parker naked, but there is enough action to make up for that fact.

The appearance of Richard Dreyfuss was a complete surprise, considering he's a big Hollywood name who wasn't advertised much. His character has an interesting twist, and he plays the part well. Bruce Willis, sadly, plays the same character he always does in action films. Lately he seems to have been type-cast, or he has been for his whole career, only it's more noticeable recently. Morgan Freeman however is his same old wise self (no pun intended), and, while he plays the same role he has in the past, he does it well, and

it's what everyone likes. Helen Mirren is of course the same excellent, bad-ass woman she always has been.

Overall, the movie is funny and action packed. Though at times predictable and a bit over the top, it's still a great stay-in-Friday-

night-flick, something you can rent and watch with your family or friends. But probably not something you'll want to rush and see in theatres. Or maybe, if you're brave, you'll want to try the graphic novels first?

the picture, but like always in any Jackassfeature, some of the parts are hard to watch and a little disgusting. This particular movie had a few of those moments, but there were three "stunts" in par-

ticular that really made me gag a little.

The first one is "Train Set Poop." At first you don't realize what just happened, but when they show it in slow motion, it definitely makes you gag a little.

The second is the "Sweat Cocktail"; in this "stunt," Steve-o drinks Preston Lacy's sweat.

They put Preston in a plastic suit and make him run on a tread mill.

When enough sweat has accumulated, Steve-o drinks it. Gross!

The last also featured Steve-O. It was obviously the finale stunt,

entitled "Poo Cocktail 2." The first poo cocktail stunt was in season one of their MTV show and featured Jonny Knoxville, a dump truck and a port-o-potty - I don't think I need to go into detail. This poo cocktail featured Steve-O, a massive homemade sling shot and a port-o-potty- once again, I won't go into detail.

Despite a few gag type moments, the movie is hilarious. The stunt with the jet stream was my favourite. These guys are more than just stupid, fearless stuntmen; they add a certain charisma to pulling pranks and doing stupidly dangerous stunts. These guys have a lot of personality and have great chemistry together; I will definitely continue to put my hard earned money into their bank accounts.

Jackass 3D is in theatres right now. Do yourself a favour and go see it!

South Pork:

Dixon managed to avoid getting AIDS after his former girlfriend confronted him and revealed to him that she was infected. Dixon was putting off sleeping with Ivy because he thought that he may have been infected, Ivy took it as a sign of rejection, and she banged the Australian dude. Typical.

Also, it appears that Silver is in some hot water after trying to seduce and expose the teacher that raped Naomi. Since Silver already went nuts once, this looks really bad. Meanwhile, Adrianna is stuck with a manager who it is pretty much pimping her because he knows that she stole his dead nephew's songs. Adrianna is pretty much screwed. Oh when will the kids of Beverly Hills 90210 learn their lessons? They just can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Beverly Hills: 90210 can be seen on the CW (Monday) at 8:00 p.m. and on Global, Fridays at 8:00 p.m.

Season 14 is off to a strong start (but really, isn't SP always going strong?).

Last week's episode, "Insheepsion," was a spoof of both the hoarding phenomenon (I say phenomenon not because I think it's _ something new, but because it's suddenly everywhere on TV. It's even on TLC and A&E... why?!?) and Leo Dicaprio's latest movie. To get over his compulsive hoarding, Stan and Mr. Mackie have dream therapy. They end up trapped in a dream and go into a dream within a dream - anyway, it gets just as confusing as Inception.

Why am I talking about this episode? Because Matt Stone and Trey Parker are being accused of plagiarizing content from Collegehumour.com.Shame shame. It wasn't that hard to spoof Inception.

South Park airs Friday nights at 9:30 p.m. on Comedy (Wednesday nights in the US, and online).

Sons ofAnarchy: Looks like Jax has gone federal rat to save his mom and his club, but will it be enough to keep him alive?

Jax has made a deal with the devil (in this case the ATF) with hopes that everything will work out in his club's favour. Maybe he has an ace up his sleeve that he will throw at the crooked ATF agent that got them into this mess, but if the club finds out that he has been cooperating with the federal government I could see Jax being clipped. It is possible that the actor that plays Jax, Charlie Hunnam, wants to take his skills to the big screen. Maybe this is the way to write the character off.

Don't forget, this is also the agent who framed someone in the club and had one of their wives killed to try to turn most of them into rats. Not to mention she framed Jemma Teller for murder.

Maybe this "ATF Bitch" is finally going to get it.

Either way, Sons of Anarchy is starting to really heat up. Did I also mention that the Club is on their way to Belfast Ireland to try and retrieve Jax's abducted infant son?

Of all the teams to set a record on Sunday, the Oakland Raiders were a squad that was on nobodies' radar to have an earth shattering game. Even though they were going up against division rivals the Denver Broncos, whose 2-4 record going in to the game left something to be desired, scoring 59 potnts in a game is impressive by any standard. The score is the highest achieved in the Raiders storied 50 year history, which should be enough to crack a smile on the face of Al Davis, the eccentric owner of the Raiders. Running back Darren McFadden made the most out of a lackluster Bronco's defensive effort, rushing on 16 carries for 165 yards and three touchdowns.

UFC 121

SOPHIE ISBISTERwall gameplay continues with no

The words pure and total domination come to mind ...

STAFFWRITER

TREVORFIK STAFFWRITER In describing Saturday night's main event fight at UFC 121, the words pure and total domination had come to mind before the two heavyweight fighters were locked into the octagon to duke it out. It was a shock however to see these words being used to describe Cain Velasquez' performance as he beat the heavyweig~t champion Brock Lesnar for a first round knockout.

By winning the title,. Velasquez became the first Mexican heavyweight champion, ushering in what could potentially become a new era in the heavyweight division where technique and speed trump size, and where fighters are not killing themselves to make the 265 pound weight limit.

The main event of the evening, which was held at the sold-out Honda Centre in Anaheim California, showed a bearded Brock Lesnar looking every bit of his 265 pound weigh-in size, establishing a presence in the ring that was both intimidating and frightful.

As the two fighters tapped gloves and the cage doors were closed, Lesnar immediately took the centre of the ring and went to work.

Knees were thrown, huge fryingpan sized fists landed, and Lesnar established his dominance with a huge take-down attempt early on.

Then something strange happened - something that, to my knowledge, Lesnar has never experienced before in the UFC. Velasquez managed to escape Lesnar's gargantuan grasp and mount an offence of his own, much to Brock's astonishment.

After Velasquez gained control, it was all Cain throughout the rest of the fight. Simply put, Lesnar

T

folded under the first sign of pressure. He did the same thing in his last fight w1th Shane Carwin, with the only difference being that he was saved by the first round bell and managed to squeak out a come-from-behind submission in the second round. Lesnar's chin should not be contested however.

He proved in both fights that he can take a shot and mount a comeback after being down. It was after Velasquez resisted any Lesnar takedown attempt that Lesnar's frustration and lack of experience showed.

However, Lesnar's loss is not as doom and gloom as some UFC pundits are predicting. The former champion is young enough that he will most certainly be back for another title run. A rematch with Frank Mir, or a match against one of the many up-and-comers in the heavyweight division, would be all that stands in Lesnar's way of gaining another shot at the title.

Velasquez' immediate outlook is one that should concentrate on getting some rest, and continuing work on his striking and ground game. He has an entirely different opponent in Junior Dos Santos, who is a man that has proven that he can be as deadly on his feet as on the ground.

In other title card fights, Tito Ortiz's loss to his former student Matt Hamill is being hailed as a sign of a new era in the UFC, with former superstars like Ortiz and Chuck Liddell being relegated to lower-card status, and in the case of their most recent losses, potentially being cut from the UFC. Ortiz, who has cemented his reputation as a future hall of fame fighter, looked nervous in his first match up in 11 months. Unable to pull the trigger for much of the fight, Hammill took advantage and proceeded to pound his way into a decision victory.

he leaves are turning, there's a chill in the air and Christmas commercials are starting to pop up on television. But instead of focusing on the usual winter sports, my attention is on a summer sport.

Imagine a sport that combines volleyball with trampolines, soccer with samba music and a little bit of the Brazilian martial arts dance Capoeira thrown in for show. Enter bossaball, a brand new sport invented in 2005 by a Belgian genius named Filip Eyckmans.

Bored of traditional volleyball, which adhered to conventionally stuffy laws like gravity and has an . uninspired soundtrack, Eyckmans decided that the game would be better played in a giant bouncycastle-type structure, with a trampoline on either side of the net.

Instead of using just your hands like regular, boring volleyball, bossaball encourages players to use their feet as well. Oh, and the referee is a percussion-playing, record-spinning, funny-voiced samba king.

The word bossa in Portuguese means style or attitude, and that's exactly what bossaball players aim to bring to the court. Players make the most of the bouncy court, with one of the more popular moves being a backwards over-head kick.

Each side can play with three to five players on their team. One player from each squad, the spiker, plays on the trampoline, which is surrounded by cushy padding called the bossa wall. The aim is a lot like in volleyball: you want to spike the ball into your opponent's court. In bossaball, you get three points if you hit the trampoline, one point if you hit elsewhere in the court and if you hit the bossa

point being scored.

Real showmanship comes into play in bossaball because each team has up to eight passes between the players on each side before they must return the ball over the net. This allows for lots of tricks and allows the spiker to bounce high enough to eventually spike a pass from a t'eammate over the net. The net can vary in height depending on the skill level of those playing. The ball can be touched with any body part, and can even be touched twice in a row by the same player, as long as the hands are not used both times.

Bossaball is a very accessible sport, to a point. The court is fun, cushy and bouncy. Players of all levels can enjoy bossaball. It's definitely a party sport, but because of its patented court, it can't be played anywhere or by just anyone. Because the court is expensive to rent and requires a lot of space and an elaborate setup, bossaball is usually played in conjunction with a corporate event, like the Pepsi Refresh Your World campaign or the French candy company Haribo's Bossaball Tournament. The sport is very new, and because of that it doesn't have a mainstream following, although there are clubs in several European and South American countries.

Video clips of bossaball display stunning trampoline and gymnastic feats, but the overwhelming feeling you get watching the sport is that everyone is having a really good time. The contagious samba beat causes the players to dance while they play, and the spectators appear to not only be at a spectator sport, but also at a bangin' beach party. The spirit and flavour of bossaball is admirable, and when you see people play it, you really want to join the party.

,canucks troubled by wildly inconsistent- play JOELSMART SPORTS EDITOR

A

shootout loss to the Chicago team that eliminated them from cup contention last spring was bookended by lopsided duals against a Minnesota Wild team that made one thing extremely clear: the Canucks are struggling to find their identity.

Inconsistent play is a classic symptom of a team that doesn't have its swagger. The Canucks aren't confident yet this season, but there is some pretty good reasoning behind it. They are a very different team than they were last year. So far, they've been strongest in areas they were weakest in last season, namely the penalty kill.

However, they've struggled to score in many games so far, not to mention coming back from behind. Those were their biggest selling points last season! Granted, after the Wild game on Friday night, the Canucks had only played eight games in the season. Nevertheless, the way a team comes out 'of the starting gates does say something about the collective mindset in the locker room.

Another factor, besides lacking confidence, is the location of the games. After the Wild game, the Canucks have three wins at home and three losses on the road. The combination of last change, home fans, no travel and .better understanding of the bounces of the boards is making all the difference

for the Canucks right now. Last change is probably the most important of these factors, as it must be stated that the Canuck lines are not all created equal.

Cory Schneider has been an incredible bright spot for the Canucks so far, winning both games he has played in with nary a sign of shakiness. This is an impressive feat considering both he and Roberto Luongo are making fairly major changes to their game, under the teaching of goaltending coach Roland Melanson. Luongo has been playing a different style for a lot longer than Schneider, so it makes sense that he is struggling to adapt as quickly. With that being said, Luongo has looked pretty good in net for the most part. As much as many people are ques-

C#//l

tioning his ability, I think having Luongo in net will be critical to the success of the team, once he builds a bit more confidence in his game as well.

In the shootout loss to Chicago, where Luongo let in three straight goals, it was apparent that his shootout struggles had started to get into his head. However, in the second half of that game, he kept the Canucks in the game, playing perhaps his strongest night of the season so far. His stop ,against the Hawk's leading-scorer Marian Hossa in the final minutes of overtime showed that he was more than capable of making a great save off of a breakaway when it really counts.

Yes, it is quite tough for fans of the Canucks right now to make sense of the erratic play of their team. Some nights they look like they could take on any team in the league with ease, -while looking like they don't even belong in the NHL the next night. They can take heart in the fact that at least they're pulling even for the time being; with the return of several key players for the team soon approaching. That could be just the spark they need.

fter struggling at home in the opening week, Abbotsford seems to be emerging as a road team. The Abbotsford Heat traveled to the state of Illinois to play a pair of games last week, the first one against the Chicago Wolves where the Heat emerged victorious. The Heat beat up the Wolves 3-0.

Jon Rheault (another Heat prospect from last year's injury filled playoff run) started off the scoring for the Heat with his first of the early season. The other two Heat goals came from the red hot Cam Cunning and Matt Keith; Keith also had an assist while Seabrook added two assists to his season total. Leland Irving recorded the shutout for the Heat as he made 13 saves in the win.

Next up for the Heat was a date with the other Illinois team: the Rockford Ice Hogs. That's right, the same Rockford Ice Hogs that embarrassed them in their home opening series. It was safe to say that_the Heat were looking to return the favour and did they ever.

The Ice Hogs started off the game with a goal from former Vancouver Canuck tough guy Wade Brookbank, but that would l;>eall the damage the Ice Hogs would do on the score sheet in this game. The Heat came back

with four unanswered goals, the first one coming from Mitch Wahl then another quick one from Lance Bouma (both of these guys were call ups from last year's injury plagued playoff run) less than five minutes later. This was the first goal of the season for both of them. Cam Cunning and Greg Nemisz had the other two goals for the Heat and Keith Seabrook recorded another two assists putting him at a total of five so far this season. Irving was in net for the Heat; he recorded his second win in three nights.

The following night the Heat were in Milwaukee to play the Admirals. Abbotsford faced some familiar faces here - and those former teammates sunk the Heat in this contest. Maybe the fatigue of playing two games in two nights caught up with the Heat or maybe

former Heat player Jamie Lundmark just wanted to stick it to his old team. Lundmark recorded a goal against his former club as they skated to a 3-1 win over the Heat. Lower mainland local boy Mark Dekanich had 23 saves for Milwaukee in the win.

The Heat will now return home for an eight game two week home stand that will begin Oct 25 against the Rochester Americans.

The other three teams that the Heat will face during this home stand are the Milwaukee Admirals, the San Antonio Rampage and the Houston Aero's. Check abbotsfordheat.com for game times and student deals.

The Abbotsford Heat have a 4-3-0-1 record at weeks end and sit in second place in the North Division. For insider info on the follow me on twitter @ Justinorly.

"She has such a head for competing and has built some solid strength; she is looking forward to competing at nationals in two weeks."

TC) C:C>NTl~l3lJTI:

already calling for Luongo's head on a platter and think that starting Schneider on the regular is the answer. Erratic Vancouver fan! Luongo has gotten off to a dismal start but he is still one of the top three goalies in the league. The Canucks would have to be stupid to deal , Luongo and go with Schneider.

The Nucks are also known for being a goalie graveyard. Watch out or Luongo may decided to walk away from his lifetime contract., Trust me, it's better to have two goalies that can win - just ask last year's Chicago Blackhawks.

The plan this year is to get Schneider into 20 or so games to lighten

the load on Luongo so that he isn't burnt out by the time the playoffs come around. Also, if Schneider does well in those 20 games he can be used as trade bait in the off season or at the deadline. Controversy solved.

Let's end on a happy note; Steven Stamkos is lighting it up again this year. He now leads the league in goals after his hat trick on the weekend (Barry Melrose, you're. an idiot for saying this kid was a bust).

Also, John Tavares recorded his first career hat trick on the weekend. Way to go young guns!
