Grand Metropolitan

Every once in awhile, you get the opportunity to attend something special, emotional and lasting. Last week I attended the 19th Annual Music Master Awards/ Conference/Tribute Concert for The Everly Brothers. I will cherish and remember the conference but especially the concert forever. When I think about it today I have two distinct emotions, joy and a tear. At the conference we saw some very rare footage of The Everly Brothers, film clips from Germany and England not seen by my many until…

Coming to America and adjusting to a new culture was not easy for me or for many people who move completely to a strange country, especially when there is a language barrier. The reason why it was difficult the cultural thing in America, learning the new language, learn how you can travel from place to place not knowing people around you was very difficult to handle. Especially where I grow up everyone knows each other we all one community. To come from that culture back ground and to see how in…

from home my uncle who rarely watches the news knows what I have to be afraid of at school. I am a freshman here at Grand Valley State. I was most definitely an independent person before I left for college, exploring areas of my city I’d never seen and getting to know all sorts of people throughout high school. Little did I know I’d have this feeling of independence ripped away from…

Within the past decade, the term tacky went from something that you would avoid at all cost when it came to fashion to something you sought to achieve. Well, perhaps it would be best to quantify that statement just a bit. Not just tacky in a general sense but a tacky Christmas sweater. Yep, not only have the hideous monstrosities that we all either hid in the back of our closets or donated to our local charities made a comeback, they have even made their way onto the shelves of high end retails…

The game "Metal Gear Solid 3", a prequel in the Metal Gear franchise, is set in a time of fear and uncertainty in the face of a potentially devastating future. A time when the American people feared destruction everyday from a threat that they could not see. This was the reality of the Cold War, a war that was fought with information and espionage. Other war games of the time were based in famous battles and bloodshed, but "Metal Gear Solid 3" based itself in an unseen war, using its darkness to…

Evaluative GTA V, Dark Souls and Counter-Strike There are many kinds of new games will show us in every year. Some of the games will be very popular but other games are not good. Therefore, I am going to evaluate three games, they are Grand Theft Auto V, Dark Souls III, and Counter-Strike. I am going to evaluate their image quality, Storylines and degree of freedom. First, image quality is very important to decide the game is good or bad. “Image quality is an important component of visual…

I’m bathed in neon, green spilling through the leaves above my head. The color comes not from lights or signs but from sunlight pouring its hot rays down upon the Canadian forest. I’m sweating, beads of liquid streaking down my dirty face. Every other second I hear the buzz of incoming mosquitos like tiny fighter jets preparing for an airstrike, thrumming. The trail beneath my damp sneakers is compact despite the previous days’ rains. My watch beeps, and I fish it out of my breast pocket…

When Daniel Elazar published his work on state political culture Nevada was an Individualistic state, and still is today. A state that is considered Individualistic has the following characteristics: government is viewed as an extension of the marketplace, government provides people with services they want, but do not interfere with the people’s private lives, politics are ran like a business, and the politicians are well-paid business men and women (Smith and Greenblatt 14). Nevada is an…

Stay at Caesar’s Palace for Vegas-Style Luxury Las Vegas is a destination on nearly everyone’s bucket list. Iconic landmarks like The Strip, the Eiffel Tower replica, and the Bellagio’s fountains are famous the world over. And so are the casinos, especially those in the larger hotels. And there is perhaps no hotel more well-known, and more intrinsically “Vegas,” than Caesar’s Palace. The luxury accommodations cater to everyone from budget weekenders to high rollers. And while there are countless…
