When second-year BusinessAccounting student DerekLamoureux received his firstturntable for Christmas at age 16, henever knew where it would lead him.

Just over two years later, hestepped onto the set of one of themost popular television shows inCanada, pitching to some of therichest venture capitalists in thecountry.

Starting out as DJ LAMCHOPStwo years ago, Lamoureuxs firstgig was a family members wed-ding. From there, he deejayed ad an ce a t h is h ig h s ch oo l i nStrathroy, and his phone just keptringing. It slowly led from

biweekly to weekly dependingon the season. Summers more

busy. Right now, our focus is onschools and weddings.

He recently expanded his busi-ness to LC Productions, whichoffers DJ services, photography,videography and live music.Lamoureux currently has fouremployees, and is hiring more ashe gets busier. In two years time,Id like to have about 20, he said.Hes currently talking with thePhotography and Video depart-ments at Fanshawe to get their stu-dents involved. Working for LCProductions would help those stu-dents build their portfolios, getexperience and work at a student-driven startup.

Back in January, Lamoureux

auditioned for Dragons Den inSarnia, pitching LC Productions tothe shows producers. A month

later right around his birthday he got a call inviting him to go toToronto to pitch to the Dragons Kevin OLeary, Jim Trevling,Arlene Dickinson, David Chilton,and Bruce Croxon in March.

There are about 10,000 peoplew ho t ry o ut ; 2 50 m ak e i t t oToronto, and then 120 make it toTV. Lamoureux is one of thoselucky 120.

Lamoureux had a long waitbefore finding that out, though hedidnt hear that his pitch would airuntil last month. When he receivedthe email from the producers, itwas like scoring a goal in hockey,like, Yes! he exclaimed, pump-ing his fist in the air. Finally, whatIve been waiting for for like sixmonths.

Being on the show was a crazy

experience, he recalled, but hewasnt nervous. Ive done a lot of

public speaking, so it wasnt a bigthing to talk in front of them. I justlooked at them as five people, hav-ing a conversation with them,telling them what my businesswas.

Most people write and memo-rize a speech when they go on theshow you can tell, he said. Isaid to myself, Im not gonna dothat. Im gonna tell it as it is. Iknow what my business is; I dontneed to memorize it or write itdown. Rather than focus onmemorization, he wanted to focuson his performance. Its all aboutgood TV.

A performer at heart,Lamoureux knew hed have toengage the Dragons to get their

attention. He did so by displayinghis DJ skills, getting the Dragonsto get up and dance with him.

The pitch went very well,Lamoureux said with a grin. Iwasnt nervous, I was excited Itwent very well, and they liked theidea thats all I can say.

Lamoureux has found his train-ing in Fanshawes Business pro-gram to be very helpful in develop-ing business plans. Hes also founda great resource in Fanshawesown BizInc, a business incubatorthat helps student entrepreneurs gettheir businesses off the ground.

Working with [the advisors] at

BizInc, theyve definitely helped atremendous amount with theknowledge they have. He meetswith BizInc advisors biweekly todiscuss venues, business plans,goals, target audiences, communi-

cation with clients. Its a greatprogram. If you have an idea, Iwould definitely take it to them.

Were extremely proud andexcited for [Derek], said BrittanyMedeiros, marketing, communica-tions and event coordinator forBizInc. Its an amazing accom-

plishment for him and were supersupportive of what hes going to dowith his company.

S in ce o pe ni ng i n 2 01 1 a tWestern and coming to Fanshawesix months later, BizInc has con-nected with over 275 students,offering business advice, grantapplication assistance and mentor-

ship opportunities. As of May,BizInc has more than 40 activestartups employing over 60employees. We meet students allthe time, and our network contin-ues to grow, Medeiros said.

As a full-time student and abusiness owner, Lamoureux isalways on the go. It definitelymakes for 17- and 18-hour daysthat I didnt know existed before!Its a lot to manage as one person.However, he knows hard work is ahuge part of being successful. Ifyou believe in something, do it.Dont let people stop you fromdoing it. If you work hard enough,and I mean work hard its noteasy it pays off in the long run.

The Fanshawe Student Union(FSU) is combining its LeadershipAward with the College StudentAssociation (CSA) ScholarshipAward this year.

According to Adam Gourlay,president of the FSU, the require-ments and qualifications for bothawards were so similar that com-

bining the two made sense.Gourlay said the awards recog-

nize students who are rising lead-ers in their college communities.Anyone who got involved.Anyone who helps the community,helps their peers and maintains agood GPA, he said. Those arequalifications to be a well-roundedstudent.

He explained that the CSAaward is province-wide and everycollege in Ontario participates, andthat theres an award for every col-lege.

This year, because the twoawards are similar and combined,Gourlay said that Fanshawe will besubmitting its top three applica-tions to the CSA pool. Theychoose one CSA ScholarshipAward winner, and the other tworeceive the FSU LeadershipAward, he said.

Requirements to apply are asfollows:

- Student must demonstrate pos-itive leadership through contribu-tions to campus life

- Student must demonstrateleadership and ability to motivate

others to improve the lives of stu-dents while attending Fanshawe

- Student must have demonstrat-ed involvement with the FSUthrough achievements, programinvolvement, athletics, volunteerexperiences, etc.

- Students must maintain a min-imum GPA of 3.0

- Students must be attendingFanshawe on a full-time basis

- Students must have completeda minimum of four month of pro-gram of study at time of applica-tion

Each award includes a financialaward, but Gourlay said the moneyisnt the only aspect behind theaward thats worth celebrating.Its also about getting recognizedfor something you did.

Applications will be availableon fsu.ca soon, but can be pickedup in the main office in SC 2001 inthe meantime. Students must apply

by December 13.

Its a good chance for studentsto show what theyve done to getinvolved, or to help other people,said Gourlay. Its [also] a goodchance for the CSA and the FSU toshow the student that it doesnt gounnoticed.

Gourlay added that he thinksanyone could be a good leader. Aleader has to inspire people to fol-low them, he said. As long asyou have open communicationwith everyone youre around [and]you have the right attitude and areempathetic, then you cant really

be a bad leader.

College President Peter Devlinaddressed faculty and employeesof Fanshawe to give an update onthe transition into his new position,and how he plans to move forwardas a college.

I am a believer in what I callwholesome family values, he

began. [Childre n] seek to becared, they seek to be loved. Theyseek that structure, and Im a guywho believes in those values.

Devlins presentation, titledUnlocking Potential, outlinedthe colleges challenges and howto create new pathways for suc-cess.

The concept of unlockingpotential is tied not only to stu-dents, he said. Its tied to all ofus. Its tied to the community andthose that we serve, and theressuch a great opportunity with theconcept.

We have to be proud of the factthat we are unique and respectedinside the Ontario and national col-lege systems.

Devlin acknowledged that thereare challenges ahead, but that withchallenges come opportunities.

[It is] a challenging environ-ment where the demographics are

shifting swiftly. There are econom-ic changes, societys changing,

values are changing, he said. Weneed to adjust to a huge amount ofchange.

There is fierce competition;competition with other colleges,competition with universities,competition with private schoolsand we need to acknowledge, andwe need to fight and win that com-

petition, he added.Devlin also spoke about the col-

leges branding and how it willdrive students to Fanshawe.Were a comprehensive college,were a full-access college, were aco-op college, were community-driven, student-focused Thatsvitally important for us, particular-ly as we look to tomorrow.

As a president looking towardsthe future and how the college willcontinue on, he spoke about excit-ing pathways.

I marvel at the options that areavailable to our students, he said.The agreements that are in placewith other colleges, with universi-ties are magnificent. They provideflexibility, and what I would tellyou is we need more.

We need to be looking at that;about the pathways that currentlyexist and pathways about tomor-

row and what are the next path-ways, he added.

He finished in saying why he hasa permanent smile on his face.Thirty-five years in the army; the

best part was being surrounded bysoldiers, he said. Im living the

brand new dream, and that dreamis being surrounded by all of youas wel l as t he s tu de nt s of Fanshawe.

But before the room dispersed,Lane Trotter, VP Academics,announced his resignation from theCollege. Trotter explained that heaccepted presidency at LangaraCollege in Vancouver, effectiveJanuary 2014.

My last five years at FanshaweCollege have been amazing, hesaid. Every day Ive come intowork I look forward to coming intowork. I look forward to seeing allof you in the hallways. I look for-ward to talking to you.

Youve made my life amazing.London is a great community, andI have to tell you, I think FanshaweCollege is one of the best, if not the

best college in Canada.Gary Lima, dean of the faculty

of Arts, Media and Design, will betemporarily replacing Trotter in thenew year as the College seeks anew VP Academic.

OPINIONLETTERS TO THE EDITOR

[email protected] 46 Issue No. 12 November 11, 2013 www.fsu.ca/interrobang/

Weve all felt the frustration of being late.Sometimes leaving at what seems to be adecent time ends with you missing whatevertime you were hoping to make.

Ive felt and seen this sort of frustration onthe London buses. There are times whereIm behind because of the overcrowded

buses that have passed by me and when Ifinally get on one, I groan at the words,Move to the back of the bus, please. Isilently ask, How many more people canwe even physically fit on here? It doesntget better when youre the late one to awk-

wardly walk into class and have to enduresome trivial seconds of having all eyes onyou.

But lets be clear, London TransitCommission drivers do a damn good job forthe most part. Ive never really felt thatinconvenienced on the bus at least, notenough for me to personally feel like the busdriver is the worst person on the planet. Insome other cases, though, Ive seen peoplescream at the bus driver, verbally abusethem, and use horrendous racial/sexist termsout of their earshot. I dont think anyonedeserves that on their worksite. Really, themost frustrating part of a bus drivers jobmust be dealing with those crabby peoplewho have so little control over their tempers.

Realistically, the bus delaying you is nomore inconvenient than your car breaking

down or your computer not functioning.Sure, its probably preventable, but no one isever going to be able to say that they do notrun into problems simply because of theirinitiative. So many things can go wrong withyour day. If youre late, youre late. Youranger isnt going to turn back the clock. Itsnot going to lighten the mood of anyone whois affected by your delays. Its certainly notgoing to make the bus ride any better foranyone. For a lot of things, really, angerdoesnt solve much. Anger serves as inspira-tion to potentially get something done, butnothing more than that. Lets not misdirectour anger to other people.

That being said, can the LTC routes beimproved? Absolutely. I think theres a seri-ous congestion issue on some of the mainroutes. Ive seen four buses drive by me atmy stop because they were filled to the brim.

Solving this sort of thing is hard becauseeven though the LTC has taken steps toinclude direct routes (such as Fanshawe- anddowntown-specific buses), were still seeingthem packed to insane amounts and it makesriders quite uncomfortable.

A potential solution for this problem is tohave express routes similar to the new 90route to Masonville that pick up people atthe busiest spots and go directly to theschool from there. Furthermore, addingmore routes that pass through some housingareas might also cut down on congestion onthe major lines. Maybe adding more of thosefancy caterpillar-looking buses that can holdtwice the amount of passengers would be anotable solution.

Though we can consider these options, wecan get angry, we can drive ourselves nuts

over our inability to control the busy daysahead of us, nothing is going to change solong as the city continues to cut funding forthe LTC. The budget for LTC continues to getslashed by the city, which apparently is notaware of these issues or considers them triv-ial. Compared to the pay raises that the policeor building planners have garnered over the

past four years, were seeing this clear pictureof what city councils priorities are.

We can argue about the necessity for thoseservices another day, but currently, I thinkwe need to focus our attention on supportingthese public systems that are provided to usas students. Lets cool down and start look-ing at this rationally.

This is why we cant have nice things

The Factory buzzed with people performingmany tasks. Each one had a job carefully

planned out for them, and they all came togeth-er to create a product: a shiny, beautiful, flaw-less piece of work.

On the top floor of The Factory stood a man,overlooking the assembly line from his perch.The boss. Some assistants were chasing chick-ens around the massive, open space. In anothercorner, there were five men silk-screening can-vas after canvas. Another: stirring a huge vat of

paint. Andy Warhol adjusted his glasses, nod-ded in approval, and went to have a coffee.

Years later, Jeff Koons, a prominent artistwho still creates work today, stands in a similar

position: above his assistants. Each one has abrush, and a job. Koons developed a paint-by-

numbermethod wherehe thinks of an idea fora painting, laysit out, and thenletshis hundredsof assistants make a stroke and pass the canvasto the right. It ends up looking like one personhas created it. Do Warhol and Koons methodstakeaway fromthe authenticity of the artwork?Absolutely. And that is exactly the point.

Mass-producing art the way Hasbro makestoys is a controversial practice and very touchysubject in the North American art scene. Thesetwo men the most prominent who have creat-ed in this manner have faced both largeacclaimand harsh criticism fortheir innovation.The social commentary is blatant: when itcomes to the capitalistic system, nothing is offlimits. It creeps in like rapid-growing moss and

blankets an industry, allowing barely anybreathing roomfor authenticity. Some timeagonow, it wasa radicalidea that companies wouldtake something as sacred as living creatureslives in a careless, unnecessary manner. Andnow, cows are slaughtered by the tens of thou-sandsevery day and runthrough a machinelikeit were a sweater. And barely anyone bats an

eye. Art is still viewed by our culture as some-thing sacred, a rare commodity to be cherishedthat had thus far been untouched by societysgreedy ways. By it being mass-produced, itdevalues the authenticity and becomes banal.The artists who create this way are undoubted-ly effective in makingtheir point clear. Nothingis out of Capitalisms reach.

Digital art is growing in popularity, and itsraising similar questions. Nearly anyone canget their hands on a computer, hold the mousedown, and paint. There are numerous programsfor making your creations look professional,and none of them require anything other thansome primary hand-eye coordination and amanual to navigate. You sit in front of a screenwith an idea, and let your army of thousands oftools available with one quick click do thework. You look at the screen, and watch yourvision appear. Worhol and Koons may have

pioneered a radical ideal, but now we all havethe power to mass-produce at our fingertips.Time will tell how we decide to use it.

The Factory behind the artwork

ARTiculationAMY VAN ES

Imagine having a huge entertainment venuein downtown London.Big-name bands want to

play there, the London Orchestra and TheGrand Theatre have regular shows, and theForest City starts to get a reputation as being ahub for entertainment. Now back to reality;youre in London and itsprobably never goingto happen.

The Grand Theatre claims that when theydraftedtheir proposal fora performing artscen-tre, they approached Music London to collabo-rate on a centre that would house both organi-zations. Music London cited concerns about

both the size of the proposed site, which they

believed would be inadequate, as well as theprocess of acquiring the property. MusicLondon approached city council last year,requesting a recommendation for the orches-tras ideal home in hopes of support for relo-cating. The plan backfired when staff came

back with the opinion that they should extend

their contract at Centennial Hall until at least2015. Following that, Music London wentahead and formed an independent proposal fora performing arts centre, even listing the loca-tion of The Grands proposed expansion as a

potential site for relocation.The performing arts centre is a concept that

has been kicking around city hall for yearswithout yet coming to any kind of conclusion.Music Londons current venue, CentennialHall, has been lowering expectations since itwas built almost 50 years ago. The space hasthe acoustics of a hockey arena, an oddlyshaped stage, and balcony seats that dont evenfacethe stage. Ina reviewof proposals thatwassubmitted to City Hall in August, consulting

agency Novita Interpares found that, Virtuallyfrom itsinception, CentennialHall wasdeemedto be inadequate and subsequent reports haveconfirmed its shortcomings.

On the other side of the debate is The GrandTheatre. Its long been known as the finestestablishmentin Londonfor qualitytheatre, but

after more renovations than even their staff canquiteremember, they tooare lookingfor a sliceof the performing arts centre pie. From anobjective standpoint, The Grand Theatreappearsmore capableof actuallypulling offthemanagement of a new performing arts centredespite receiving the same criticisms as MusicLondonin thereviewof proposals. Theyveruntheir currentproperty since it was built in 1901,and according to a recent poll on the LondonFree Press website, Londoners favour TheGrand Theatres proposal over the one submit-ted by Music London.

From low-ballingfinancials, to glossing overthecomplex detailsof privateland transfers, thereview of proposals blasted both groups for

failing to present enough information to makeany kind of decision. The reality is thatLondons not big enough for both organiza-tions to get what they want, and they need towork together to get the drama and discord outof City Hall and back onstagewhere it belongs.

In the beginning, battles were won by

brute strength. Early man fought battlesover land, resources, food and women bykilling with the only weapons they had:their hands. The stronger man alwayscame out on top by defeating his enemiesin hand-to-hand brutality.

Like mankind itself, things had toevolve. The motivation hasnt changedmuch, but the way combat plays out has. Itdoesnt matter who is the biggest orstrongest anymore; what does matter ishow much money and technology youhave at your disposal.

Centuries ago, men headed into battlewith swords and spears, marching formiles to fight just inches way from oneanother. As technology advanced, war has

become less about actually going out andfighting and more about developing tech-

nology on home soil. Combatants nowdont need to be within arms reach, letalone the same country, to carry outattacks.

Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) ordrones are leading the pack when itcomes to changing warfare. These pilot-less aircrafts can be controlled by naviga-tors with remote controls on the ground orcontrolled completely on their own bycomputer systems and GPS technology.

Stripped to the necessities, equipmentfor a human pilot is taken out for bettermaneuverability and smaller size. Oftenthe controllers are hundreds if not thou-sands of miles away.

Drones really started to develop at thebeginning of the First World War. Thesedrones, called flying bombs or aerialtorpedoes, would use electronic signalsand gyroscopes to guide themselvestowards their targets. A small plane filledwith explosives was developed to collide

into nearby enemy aircrafts and groundunits, exploding on impact. Though strideswere made, these drones still had many

bugs and we re no t dee med re ady f or us e incombat.

This idea carried into WWII, with droneplanes starting to become lightweigh t andaffordable, much like the RC planes youcan buy at any hobby shop. The army usedthese radio-controlled planes to train anti-aircraft shooters and pilots and to experi-ment with using these explosive-filleddrones to crash into enemy battleships.

During the Cold War Era, drones had toadapt to what was happening in the world.Drones were less frequently used for blow-ing things up and made the shift towards py in g a nd g at he ri ng i nf or ma ti on .Hundreds of thousands of reconnaissancemissions were carried out by differentcountries on each other across the world,with the UAVs performing surveillance

and capturing photographs over hostileterritories. The United States Army wasconcerned about causalities after several

pilots perfo rming recon missio ns wereshot down, and so they started developingthe drones to combat this problem. It wasconsidered a success, since they couldhave all the same capabilities of goingdeep behind enemy lines, without the riskof endangering the pilot.

In the 80s, Iran was the first to deploy acombat drone armed with six RPG roundsduring the Iran-Iraq War, this being thefirst time a combat drone was utilized forwar. This concept exploded, with all majormilitary powers around the world develop-ing combat-ready drones.

After the 9/11 attacks in New York in2001, The United States acquired 60P re da to r d ro ne s t o u se f or t he ir

Afghanistan /Iraq campaign the first timeAmerica used drones for combat.

These Predators are still widely used

today and are equipped with laser-guidedHellfire missiles, GPS and 360-degree sur-veillance camera that can spot facial fea-

tures from five miles away. These dronescan fly at an altitude of 25,000 feet andstay in the air for 40 hours at a time.

In 2000 the Pentagon had less than 50drones. Ten years later, they had 7,500. In2003, the U.S. Air Force was flyingaround six round-the-clock drone patrolsaround the world every day. By 2010, thatnumber had reached 40.

The Predator is still the primary droneused for these combat and surveillancemission to this day, more recently carryingout missions in Pakistan. The CIA hasconducted a total of 357 drone strikes inPakistan since 2004, claiming to havetaken out an estimated 2,200 militants,including many high-ranking Al-Qaedaofficers.

In a February 2012 poll of 1,000 US

adults, 83 per cent said they supported theuse of drone strikes in foreign battles;however, drone strikes still garnered muchcontroversy among the general public

beca use dron es oper ator s occa sion allymake mistakes and kill the wrong people.In 2008, a Predator drone fired a missileinto a wedding party in Afghanistan,killing 30 civilians, including children.Statistics widely vary, but some say ashigh as 30 per cent of people killed indrone attacks are civilians.

Drones, however high-tech, still havemany disadvantages compared to a real

pilot. With the camera only being able tocapture a small, targeted area, the opera-tors field of vision is limited, resulting inmistakes. A real pilot would be able to seethe bigger picture and assess if a strikeshould be administered. Being present in

the action with your finger on the triggergives more sense of accountability that isnot available when sitting in the comfort

of an armchair outside Las Vegas, firingmissiles in a drone half a world away.

Medea Benjamin, author of Drone

Warfare: Killing by Remote Controlexplained why drones are becoming moreused than traditional pilots: Theres no

pilot at risk of being killed or maimed in acrash. No pilot to be taken captive byenemy forces. No pilot to cause a diplo-matic crisis if shot down in a friendlycountry while bombing or spying withoutofficial permission. If a drone crashes or isshot down, the pilot back home can simplyget up and take a coffee break.

Today, there are more than 5,000 dronesoperational with different roles in the U.S.military. The Air Force has trained moredrone operators in the past two years than

pilots, favouring drones because they cantrain controllers in nine months, comparedto the two years it takes to train a regular

pilot. The Un ited States has D rone C ontrolbases located in 60 locations, includingGermany, Ethiopia and Florida.

Although drones have been around for along time, we are still in the very earlystages in terms of seeing what these thingscan do. There is still much debate in con-gress about the ethics of drone killings and

just how much power to give to theserobots.

What I do know is that Ill be bustingout my old Air Hogs and RC helicopter toget some practice before the great dronewar happens you might want to follow.

Canadians live under the shadow of twocatastrophic wars, even though that shad-ow is fading with each decade that passes.

During World War I, tens of thousandsof young Canadians experienced some-thing both new and terrifying at the sametime. New, because during those daystravel was rare and exceedingly expen-sive. The war gave late teens and youngadults the opportunity to steam across theAtlantic and see Europe. Many felt theywere on a sort of magnificent adventure todisperse the aggressors an almostromantic journey, even quasi-religious,since many prominent church leaders inthe country encouraged people to join thearmed forces. But terrifying, because as it

turned out, the adventure for most of thesoldiers turned into a nightmare. Eternaltrench warfare complete with chemicalweapons attacks and a plague of post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Second World War did not see areturn to trench warfare, but nevertheless,the suffering of members of the armedforces was great. Again, tens of thousandsof Canadians did not live to tell of it. Theydied from gunshot, fire, falling out of air-

planes, drowning , disease and fatigu e.Since those two great wars, Canada

has been involved in some smaller ones.We were also party to the Cold War,which, by means of mass terror, kept the

worlds two greatest powers from eatingeach other and the rest of the planet alive.

The human world exists in a strangestate of dangerous bargains. We (non-Syrians) accept the suffering of the Syrian

people in exchang e for sealing the vio-lence of their country within its own bor-ders. We accept the presence of nuclearmissiles in exchange for the security theyseem to provide. The threat of war keepsmany countries from invading their neigh-

bours. And actual wars are reminder s ofthe willingness of all people to inflictextreme suffering on others for their own

preserv ation.In other words, the order of the world

everywhere involves the threat of war andthe promise of retribution. Alongside ofall that is this faith: That peace can comethrough violence. Peace through violenceon a political level is probably as likely aschildren becoming better human beings

by being the victims of violenc e in thehome. If peace were the main outcome of

war, Germany would not have initiatedWorld War II, the Cold War would nothave been caused by World War II, andPalestinian activists would long ago haveceased and desisted from lobbing bombsinto Israel.

The order of our world is one saturatedin threats, violence, and retribution by thelosers of war.

But also, this order has become moreand more entrenched by missing anopportunity for peace. That opportunitycomes to the fore in the eye-witnessaccounts of the life and teachings ofJesus. He observed that his Jewish people

believe d th at they should love their neigh-

bours but let their enemies get what theydeserved. He provided an alternative. Hesaid, Love even your enemies even ifall you can do for the time being is prayfor them. Start there and see where ittakes you. (Im taking a little liberty withmy telling it, but that is how I read thisaspect of his teaching.)

Concerning forgiving others who havewronged us, Jesus said, Really, there isno limit to the forgiveness you mustextend to your enemy. And concerning

being taken advanta ge of by aggress ors,Jesus said, Find a way to surprise them.For example, if some bully tells you tocarry his bags a kilometer, offer to takethem two. Let that person know that youare on a different path. Who knows? Youmay win a convert to your ways!

Some Christians have taken great painsto put Jesus peace teachings into prac-tice. Alas, too few. And the track recordfor the rest of us is about the same.

Remembrance Day is upon us. It will be

a time of reinforcing the old order ofthings, an order that relies on violence andretribution, an order that valorizes the

poor soldie rs who were lost in the horrorsof our wars. On some level, so we say,their deaths were necessary.

But actually they were not. SouthAfrican Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutul ik es t o s ay , Je su s i s n ot o nl y f or Christians. He is for everyone. (At least,so it has been told to me.) Jesus teachingson peace are for everyone. Death by waris not necessary. What is necessary is toembrace the person and peace teachingsof Jesus Christ.

The Far Side is a single-panelcomic that started life in The SanFrancisco Chronicle, and laterwent on to get syndicated in morethan 900 newspapers, running forexactly 15 years, until 1995.

Proving that one panel really cansay it all, the comic still continuesto be timeless and enduringly

funny even to this day. Its hugelyinfluential, to say the least, and its

bizarre sensibilities will appeal tojust about anyone. Of course, nowork feels truly complete withoutthe authors insight, and as such,Far Side fans will completely digThe PreHistory of The Far Side.Its an incredibly fascinating book,especially considering its rather

benign topic, that being a single-panel newspaper comic. And,probably much to your surprise,Far Sides author Gary Larson, inhis ever-easygoing fashion,divulges a lot about his years withthe comic, giving fans and casualreaders alike a chance to dive intothe mind of the author of one of the

most amusing comics to ever run.Starting from the very begin-ning, Larson goes into his begin-nings, with his older brothers loveof frightening and disgusting him

playing a huge influence on hischoices of subject matter in FarSide. Mostly though, youll get anopportunity to read a few choicestrips from his earlier one-panelwork, Natures Way. Covering

both this andFar Side, Larson dis-sects the humour and reasons whyhe did what he did with selectstrips, all without being too over-

bearing or overtly technical (if that

were really possible with humour).If you consider yourself a dour andlaughless person in need of a char-acter makeover, Larsons com-mentary will certainly give yousome of the finer points on whatmakes things funny.

Believe it or not, despite itssomewhat newspaper-friendlyexterior (with the occasionallydark panel),The Far Side has actu-ally been embroiled in controversyseveral times. Granted, viewingsaid comics will make you wonderwhat bored suburban housewifecould muster the effort to pen her

indignation, but nevertheless,Larson opts to defend himself (inhis humorously self-deprecatingfashion), and couples it with a fewchoice excerpts from the reactionsof irate readers. Although facingire mostly from embittered petowners for his comics humorouscruelty between cats and dogs,Larsons most internationally con-troversial comic turned out to beone that took a jab at ape-anthro-

pologist and gorilla-whisperer JaneGoodall. Youve probably seen it;a wife gorilla (complete withwinged eyeglasses as is common in

the Far Side universe) chastisingher husband gorilla for conduct-ing research with that Goodalltramp finding blonde hairs in hisfur.

Many more comics like it oth-erwise harmless with humorousintent, being splayed by peoplecarrying pitchforks and torcheswith nothing better to do are allgiven some closure.

Its a pretty thickly packed book.There are plenty, and I really domean plenty, of cool behind-the-scenes stories on the history of this

comic. It would seem odd to rec-ommend a book on the history of anewspaper comic that, whileenjoying some cult success to thisday, is otherwise not spoken aboutall too often, but really, the only

prerequisi te to reading ThePreHistory of The Far Sideis hav-ing read the comic and enjoyed it.

Dinosaur Bones takeShaky Dreamon the road

I write about random things alot. I write a lot about randomthings. From time to time, its easyto see how Fanshawe fits as a fix-ture in the local music scene inLondon. Its little surprise that wefrequently have a high calibre ofartists appearing here, of course,

but occasionally it affords us anopportunity to see great bandsreturn to the city more frequentlyas they play for us and at a morecentral venue nearby.

One such group is DinosaurBones, returning to London in con-

cert at The APK on November 19with Brendan Canning. The showis part of a 10-date tour that seesthe band frontman Ben Fox andJosh Bryne on guitar, bassistBranko Scekic, keyboardist DavidWickland and drummer LucasFredette on the road for the lasthalf of the month, playing cities inthe West for the first time in sup-

port of their latest album.Released August 13 by Dine

Alone Records,Shaky Dreamiron-ically features the band at theirmost lucid and cohesive on tape todate; when you consider the albumtitle along with the slow dulcet

groove in tracks like DreamersSong and their lead singleSleepsick, it could be easy to

expect a sleepy concept album.But such couldnt be further

from the truth; while the albumcame together in such a cognitive,tidy manner, it owes more to thechemistry that the quintet havecome to share than to any precon-ceived plan to control the scope ordirection of the final record.

That was the hope, anyway,joked Fox, decidedly not one toknock serendipity. For me, hon-esty is important, and speakingfrom the heart I havent found aconcrete theme that I would wantto write 10 or 12 songs around thatwouldnt feel at least slightly disin-genuous, or that would distractfrom other things Id like to

explore.According to Fox, the bands

first and foremost concern wasfinding a suitable environment toinvest themselves in their work.We knew that we wanted to getout of Toronto, he said, awayfrom the day-to-day distractions offamily, girlfriends or even day

jobs.Their choice led them to work

with John Congleton in Texas, farremoved from everyday life inCanada. There, the band were ableto allow their recordings to evolvefree from interference; tracks likeGo Free and Career Criminal

demonstrate well how the mem-bers added their individual voicesto Foxs outlines, the rhythms

pulling gently on each other inalmost asymmetrical ways.

Eager to take their album on theroad, Fox alluded to the underlyingexcitement within the group at the

premise of playingShaky Dreamtoaudiences they havent seen sincemaking their sojourn south torecord.

We have a huge amount ofrespect for Brendan, its going to

be fun, he said. Were going to awhole bunch of places that wehavent been to, were excited to

play this new album for peopleacross Canada and beyond.

It would be hard for any child, whose par-

ents were (and still are) enamoured with the

arts, to stray from it all.

London native Mark Uhre found himself

immersed in the arts, thanks to his family.

With a lot of nurturing and trips to Stratford

and Toronto, who could say no?

Uhre is now playing Enjolras, on a short

stint, in the wildly acclaimed musical Les

Misrables in Toronto. But aside from his

musical and Broadway work, Uhre is also an

artist, drawing and painting regularly all of

which started at a young age.

My mom was a kindergarten teacher and

my dad owned a barbershop. [They] loved

the arts and sti ll do, Uhre wrote via email

in efforts to save his voice. We were at the

theatre a great deal when I was young. Trips

to Toronto and Stratford happened often.

Uhres first encounter with the fine arts

was at the age of four, when he found himself

drawing under his parents coffee table. No

one knew I had made a mess under there

until we moved seven years later, he said.

His first memory of the theatre was at the

age of five. My grandmother took me to see

Barnum (the musical) at The Grand, he re-

called. I remember bits and pieces, but ap-

parentlyI sat verystill andwas mesmerized.

Uhre said he always had support from his

family, and after the coffee table incident,

I was encouraged to develop an artistic rela-

tionship with paper.

When the Lester B. Pearson School forthe

Arts opened in London in 1989, Uhre was

accepted into the first Grade 4 class. He at-

tributes Pearsons nurturing and inspiring

environment that helped him and a lot of his

peers.

I was thril led to be included in this se-

lected group of enthusiastic kids, he said.

It was a really safe place to explore the arts

with passionate teachers.

Aside from school, Uhre spent nearly a

decade with the Theatre School in London,

which was run by Kip Longstaff whom he

deemed a great mentor.

TheTheatreSchoolwas a hugepartof my

growth as an artist, Uhre said. Eventually I

started teaching there and designing/painting

sets/props for their shows.

At the age of12,Uhre was cast in his first

professional show,A Christmas Carol, a tThe

Grand Theatre. The experience was amaz-

ing, he said. Working with industry profes-

sionals was eye-opening and inspiring.

It wasnt until the age of 16 that Uhre start-

ed toworkon his voice. Theyoungsterbegan

taking private lessons with Bevan Keating at

the Victoria Academy of Music here in Lon-

don, and met with Keating twice a week for

four years.

Uhre sai d it was the combina tion of al l

these experiences that pushed him to pursue

the arts. I was very lucky. I grew up looking

up to actors who were working pros nearby,

he said.

I was always interested in music, theatre

and visual art [and] I found the most inspi-

ration in the artists who I could actually see

perform in theatre.

While he wasin high school, Uhre knew he

wantedto pursue a career in arts, but it wasnt

until his art teacher saw him play Tony in

West Side Story that he decided theatre was

the right path.

When I asked [my teacher] what she

thought, she said she felt I needed to pursue

theatre and could always do visual art on the

side, he said. She said if the roles were re-

versed, it would have been more chall enging.

She ended up being right. I work as an actor

now, but have always kept my visual interests

throughout training and my career.

Following high school, Uhre moved to

England to study at the Guildford School of

Acting for three years. He then returned to

the Great White North and was cast inMama

Mia!as Sky.

Uhre said hes kept drawing and painting

on the side. I am always creating art and

greatly influenced by fellow artists in the

theatre, he said. I have a sketchbook that I

open and work in daily.

He doesnt have a regular 9-to-5 job, as

you can imagine. He explained that during

rehearsals for a theatre piece he will work 10

a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday. There

can sometimes be a great deal of work to do

outside of rehearsal in terms of memorization

and prepping for the next day, he said.

During the performance run, he said ac-

tors work six days a week and perform eight

shows within the same week. Keeping fit

and staying healthy is important, especially

in the long run, he said.

As an artist, its important to be open and

honest with yourself regarding your strengths

and weaknesses, he advised. There is al-

ways something to work on. In the arts,

preparation meets opportunity. We have to

be open to collaboration and other peoples

artistic views and ways of working.

He admitted that any career path in the

arts can be challenging, but also incredibly

rewarding. If someone has already decided

to pursue the arts, I say first of all, congrats

for heading into something creative, he said.

dian Idol winner Melissa ONeil as Eponine

There are numerous ways toapply foundation, and each tech-nique will create a different finish.You can use your hands, a sponge(or Beauty Blender), and a wholevariety of brushes. The methodyou choose will depend on whattype of foundation you are using,and what finish and coverage youwant to achieve. Some people findthe choices too overwhelming sothey just resort to using theirhands, but using an actual makeuptool can make a huge difference.

Using your hands to apply afoundation has one major benefit:

you use your own body heat towarm up the foundation and it justmelts into the skin. However, thismethod does have a few down-sides, as it is the least sanitary andcan spread bacteria and oils fromyour hands onto your face, so mak-ing sure your hands are really cleanis a must. Using your hands is alsoless precise than using a beautytool as it is easy to miss spots onyour face, especially in areasaround your nose.

A sponge is one of the most pop-ular choices when it comes toapplying a foundation because

people feel like it is less streakythan a brush, which is not alwaystrue. A sponge is a great way to

create a high-coverage finish,especially if you pat it onto theskin rather than gliding it. There isa major downside to using asponge: it absorbs about one-thirdof your foundation, especially if it

is water-based. Since sponges areso absorbent, most of the founda-tion gets trapped in the spongerather than applied to the face. Thisis why the Beauty Blender spongewas created; it is less absorbent,has a better shape for a preciseapplication and it is washable andreusable.

Probably the best way to apply afoundation is by using a brush

because they are disposable ,hygienic, and you can use them tocreate a variety of finishes. Thetraditional foundation brush is flat

and can apply different amounts ofcoverage. The best way to use it isby making little Xs on the face,blending outwards (this willremove any fear of making streakmarks).

You can also get flat-top orkabuki-style brushes, which givemore of an airbrushed finish. Forthese kinds of brushes, you need touse an application method called

buffing, which is blending thefoundation in a small, circularmotion. You have to make surethese brushes are made with syn-thetic hair as natural haired brush-es are hard to clean and will beruined by the oils from the founda-tion.

All of these methods are excel-lent ways to apply foundation, but

some will be more beneficialdepending on what look you aregoing for. You can even combineall three methods (hands, spongeand brush) to create the most flaw-less look.

The ladies and gents of the Financial Aid department at the College scarified their office into a pirate ship. Alldressed as Black Beard and pirate sailors, they werent out to loot students of their riches, however. A treasurechest brimming with Monopoly money, gold doubloons and candy, student visitors were encouraged to dig fora treat. Can you tell it was a happy Halloween?

One thing that we all currentlyhave in common while being stu-dents at Fanshawe College is thatwe all have homework. Yes, thatdreaded par t of your life some ofus have a ridiculous, mind-blow-ing amount, while others live virtu-ally stress-free, with just a fewassignments here and there. At theend of the day, though, we all havehomework.

Students who spend hours attheir desks understand the truemeaning of having a functionalworkspace. A workspace mustaccommodate all your needs,whether it needs to be big enoughto lay out all your notes and text-

books at once, to sew clothes, oreven to draft. During our downtimes from busy school life, ourworkspace acts as a social andentertainment spot you know,

just sitting on our butts for hourswatching Netflix, Facebookingand tweeting. Our workspaces aremultifunctional areas that mustaccommodate all our needs!

I recently found that my work-space area only met the bare mini-mum needs I could draft on mytable and use my laptop. My work-

space was boring and did notinspire me or reflect my style atall!

I decided my workspace mustact for more than just working pur-

poses. I spent a few solid weekscreating the workspace that Idesired and needed. As you can seein my before picture, my work-space was boring and had no lifeuntil I added a little TCL to make itfun and motivational.

Heres how to get started onadding some creativity to yourworkspace:

Create your own inspiration

board!I chose to create three DIYbulletin boards that would achieveseveral goals. One board is myinspiration board filled with posi-tive quotes, decor and fitness pic-tures along with some breathtakinglandscape pictures. My other two

boards are filled with pictures of

my goals in life and quick short-term memos to make my day go alittle smoother. You can make or

buy your own boards and fill themwith pictures and quotes thatinspire you and that are suitable toyour personal taste!

Get funky with pencil and penholders! As you can see, every-thing was just clumped together inone boring old pencil holder. Iwanted something better so I found

just that. I found a unique lazySusan holder at Winners thatwould hold all of my supplies.Organization is key in a work-

space, and dont settle for anythingordinary!

Last but not least: accessorize.Its always nice to have a littleexcitement in your workspace. Ichoose to do this by purchasing a

peace sign candle holder withsome groovy candles to add a little

fun to my space. You can also addsome fun to your workspace byincorporating a pattern! Havingreminder books and a mouse padwith designs on them will surelyadd fun to your space!

A workspace not only needs toaccommodate your school workand downtime needs, it has to men-tally stimulate you! I hope mytransformation of my workspacewill inspire and help you out withcreating the workspace of yourdreams that will reflect your tasteand inspire you. Never settle forthe ord inary enjoy!

In Flanders fields the poppiesblow/Between the crosses row onrow.

The immortal words written byJohn McCrae during the FirstWorld War have become an inte-gral part of Remembrance Dayceremonies across Canada and inmany other countries throughoutthe world. Inspired by the redflowers that grew on soldiersgraves in that Belgian field, the

power of this poem not only con-veys the glories of war, whichwas a common theme at the time,

but opened the door for the poppyto become the most recognizablesymbol of Remembrance Dayacross the country.

Prior to 1918, the poppy wasmerely a flower and a poeticdevice used by McCrae to set thestage for his ode to his fallen com-rades, that was, until an American

professor by the name of MoinaMichael wrote a poem that wasinspired by the three-year-old InFlanders Fields, entitledWe ShallKeep the Faith. This poem wasoriginally a reflection written fromthe point of view of the next gener-ation promising to remember thewar, and the lives lost in it, andincludes the line And now thetorch and poppy red/We wear inhonour of the dead, a promise tocontinue to wear the poppy inremembrance.

During a War Secretaries meet-ing in 1918, Michael presented her

poem while wearing a silk poppyon her coat and carrying more todistribute among the other atten-dees of the meeting, making thisthe first recorded time that theyhad been worn in a remembrancecapacity. Within three years, it had

been adopted by the legions inCanada, the United Kingdom, andthe U.S.A. as an official symbol ofwartime remembrance as well as away for the legions to raise fundsfor a variety of causes, predomi-nantly toward veterans affairs.Today, it is common to see the red

plastic poppies on the left lapel ofpeople all over Canada during theweeks preceding November 11.

Despite being a recognized sym-bol in many countries, the designand construction of the poppyitself varies from nation to nation.Canada has the two-piece poppy, afelt-covered plastic flower with a

black centre held together by a pin.

The United Kingdom favours apaper flower with two green leaveson a long green pin, a closer repre-sentation to the natural shape of the

poppy as it grows in the wild.Regardless of the form it takes,

the poppy has been a long-lastingand potent symbol of the sacrificesthat were made so many years ago,as well as the worlds duty toremember, and ensure it never hap-

pens again.

Deep down, somewhere insideall of us, there is a childlike attrac-tion to adventure, a wish to leave

behind everything that is regularand mundane, in order to discoversomething that nobody has everseen before.

This desire, which lies within somany people, has been the centraltheme at the heart of some of themost timeless stores to have ever

been told, creating events, loca-tions, and characters that havegone down in history as some ofthe most engaging and everlastingin the history of entertainment,

being recognized all over theworld.

This spirit of discovery has per-haps been captured in one source,and one character, than it has any-where else, and for 50 years, fansofDoctor Who have gone on someof the wildest adventures imagina-

ble right alongside The Doctor andhis many faces.

Considering its worldwide andseemingly ever-growing populari-ty, Doctor Who remains to many

people a bit of mystery; they mayknow that its British, and they

may know that the show has beenaround for as long as their parents,

but outside of a few facts it iscloaked by a veil of science fictiongeekery, and the quirky, offbeathumour that can only be found inthe British isles. Beneath its exteri-or, however, lies a television pro-gram that truly delivers somethingthat everybody can get behind, ful-filling the goals that it set out toaccomplish when it first aired in

November 1963.Dawning in the early days of tel-

evision, the tale of an old alienfleeing his home planet and land-ing on Earth in a blue police box,meeting human friends and bring-ing them on adventures throughspace or travelling through timewas a moderately safe, family-friendly evening program,designed to shock children, butentertain them and adults alikewith a main hero that was verymuch against the norm. TheDoctor, then played by the elderlyWilliam Hartnell, was philosophic,arrogant, but superhumanly cleverman who would eventually

become fond of the human race

and protect Earth from the alienthreat of the week. While these allsounds like typical science fiction

plots (and they are), the creativityand spirit behind the show quicklymade it a staple of British culture,and one that continued to quietly

break new ground in television.The creators of the program

were able to solve one of thebiggest problems that face the cre-ative minds behind any TV show:how to continue once the castmembers were no longer able to,and avoiding the awkward fanquestions that would be posed bychanging the lead without a narra-tive explanation, a technique thath as b ee n u se d o n o cc as io nthroughout television history. Thewriters decided to make TheDoctor immortal, regenerating intoa new body, with a new personali-ty, fulfilling their in-story purpos-es, as well as allowing the programto continue on.

Now, as the show nears its 50thanniversary, it has become a trueglobal cultural force, far more pop-ular than it ever was in the originalrun and finally beginning to beseen in the public eye as far morethan a niche show for the extranerdy. Improvements in technolo-gy, storytelling, as well as threeinspired choices for the role of TheDoctor has introduced the programto a whole new generation of peo-

ple, and if the popularity continuesto rise, than we our kids could belining up to see Doctor Whos100th anniversary.

Wiliiam Hartnell was the first actor to portray The Doctor in the early days of Doctor Who.

People just love to fawn over theDreamcast, Segas last entry intothe console market before theydecided to call it quits and contin-ue disappointing us through meansof mediocre software alone. Ascool as the Dreamcast was beinga receiver of some truly exception-al home ports of popular arcadegames its easy to notice how its

predecessor, the Saturn, has beenleft in the dust, and unfairly so.

Although by no means obscureto those who know the first thingabout video games, attempting adiscussion about the Sega Saturnwith the average person will likelynet you a reaction of, Yeah, I

remember that thing, I neverowned it. Its a classic case ofeveryone backing the right horsesonly and refusing to give the strag-gler a chance. Gamers werentexactly to be faulted with theirtreatment of the Saturn, still reel-ing from Segas earlier gaffes inthe form of the Sega Genesis add-ons: the Sega 32x and 32x CD.Towards the end of the 16-bitGenesis lifespan, Sega decidedthe only way to supplement itsaging console into the next genera-tion of 32-bit as a holdout untiltheir next big gizmo dropped, wasto release add-ons that could play alibrary of theoretically better-look-ing games. What instead happened

was that two very mediocre (andstill fairly underpowered) pieces ofhardware underwhelmed gamers,sucked their wallets dry, and gavethem a library of under-averagegames.

Naturally, releasing a consolewith your fanbase already feelinggypped by your previous endeav-ours isnt quite the right environ-ment for the big launch, but Segatrucked ahead, surprising everyoneat E3 1995 by proclaiming that,unlike its rival, the brand newSony PlayStation, the Saturn wasalready in stores!

Wrong move.Consumers were pissed, retail-

ers were miffed, game developerseven moreso. Youre supposed tolet your fans save up, your retailers

advertise, and your developersactually make some damn gamesin time. The surprise launch of theSega Saturn, releasing weeks

before expected, were what trulyhurt its chances at greatness, atleast in North America. Despite itsshort lifespan here, the Saturnreceived some great (and slowlygetting rarer and rarer) titles, likethe acclaimed RPG Panzer

Dragoon Saga, and badass beat-em-up Guardian Heroes. It isntall gloom and doom for Segasearly-orphaned red-headed-stepchild console, for there exists asurprisingly vast library of Saturngames outside of our cushy conti-nent, although you might end upneeding to brush up on your

Katakana to play the various RPGsand shoot-em-ups that Japanreceived.

Im probably rushing ahead ofmyself here, because chances are,you probably dont have a Saturnin the first place. I still consider myownership of one to be a unicorn-killing stroke of rare luck. Morethan likely, youll have to resort to*cough* emulation. The Saturnsdifficult-to-program-for brand new(at the time) dual core processor,which was one of the factors thatmade developers shy away frommaking games for the console, isonly now getting understood forthe purpose of emulation. Take alook at Yabause or SSF if you want

to jump in the action quick.If you really do care to try out

Segas battered but loveable con-sole as originally intended, scourthe flea markets, take any opportu-nity to cheaply own this consolewhose value has sadly been drivenup largely by collectors. A bit of,ahem, modding will easily allowyou to unlock a huge library of for-gotten but still fun titles. Withregion restrictions no harder to

bypass than simply patching discimage files, there isnt any excuseto avoid the amazing arcade actionthe Saturn has to offer.

The Thing With TwoHeads (1972)

A wise man once said twoheads are better than one. Thatm an w as A nd re T he G ia nt .Philosophers have argued over theexact meaning of this statement fordecades. Some believe that itmeans that more can be accom-

plished by working together.Others feel that Mr. The Giantactually meant that it is in factadvantageous to literally have mul-tiple craniums perched atop onesshoulders.

Back in 1972, an incredible filmtitled The Thing with Two Headswas released that examined whatwould happen if someone were infact given a second head. So whatwould happen? Hijinx, hilarity andmayhem, thats what!

Legendary Academy Award-winning actor Ray Milland por-trays Maxwell Kirshner, a brilliantdoctor whose body is beginning tofail him. In order to preserve hislife, he begins experimenting withtransplant techniques. As a result,his lab is housing a two-headed

ape. Within the first 10 minutes ofthis film, there is a scene where atwo-headed ape runs amok in asupermarket, shoving bananas into

both of its faces. This would be thehigh point of most films, but thefun is only beginning.

Not deterred by the supermarket

fiasco, Kirshner presses on, andlets his colleagues know that hewould like them to place his head

onto someone elses body.Shortly afterwards, we learn that

not only is Kirshner a brilliant

(albeit possibly a bit mad) doctor,but also a racist. New hire Dr. FredWilliams shows up after beingoffered a job over the phone. WhenKirshner realizes he has hired anAfrican American doctor, he

quickly tries to retract the offer,and then begrudgingly agrees to let

Williams finish out his short-termcontract.The loveable old racists health

takes a dramatic turn for the worse,and there is suddenly a pressingneed for a donor body. Enter JackMoss (former NFL star RoseyGrier), a death row inmate whomay not have committed a crime.He offers himself up to be part ofthe experiment, in hopes that it will

buy him sometime to prove hisinnocence. Did I mention thatMoss is also African American?

When the bigot Kirshner awakesand sees the new body that he isattached to, fireworks ensue

between the two. But cooler headsprevail, and the two headed mangoes on the lamb, attempting totrack down the evidence that willset him free at last, free at last,thank God almighty, free at last.

This leads to a high-speed chasewith Kirsher/Moss riding on a dirt

bike (joined by Dr. Williams),being chased by an insane amountof police. This sequence lastsapproximately 45 minutes, andresults in no fewer than 30 cop cars

being flipped over.The Thing With Two Heads ends

rather ambiguously, but that isbecause it deals with some rathercomplex issues that cannot be eas-ily wrapped up within the confinesof a 90-minute film. Issues likeracism. And whether or not it isokay to give a second head to an

ape. This is a film that you wontjust watch and forget about. It willinevitably lead to further discus-sion, even passionate debate. TheThing With Two Heads is a filmthat will require you to use yourown head, and perhaps the heads ofthose you are watching with.Thats a lot of head, but thats notnecessarily a bad thing.

Dear Nat,Before I start this letter, I want

to make something clear: I love mymom and I know she just wantswhats best for me. But shes driv-ing me crazy! Im a man in mymid-20s, and my mom cant seemto accept the fact that Im an adult.

My mom wants to do everythingfor me, from folding my laundry tocooking to helping me with myhomework, which I appreciate attimes, but its constant. Its like shethinks I cant do anything on myown. She was a single mom andits just been her and me since Iwas a little kid, but it seems likeshe hasnt been able to move on

from those days. What can I do toshow her I can take care of myself?

Not A Baby HelicopterDear Not a Baby Helicopter,Sounds like right now, you are

(and have been for a while) theonly consistent male in her life. Be

patient with your mother as heractions are simply done out ofunconditional love for you.

On the other hand, I understandher overbearing behaviour canhold you back from properly tran-sitioning into adulthood. In aneffort to grow into your own indi-vidual self, you must be given theopportunity to make your owndecisions in life, not to mentionyour own mistakes. You need tocalmly express to her that if shewants you to be a successful, inde-
