The Haunting of Molly Hatchet

Posted by: charliekennedy on: October 31, 2008

The Haunting of Molly Hatchet was a Halloween movie that I saw over the weekend.  Not going to lie, it was probably the most confusing movie that I have ever seen in my life.  You never knew what was going on.  From the beginning of the movie to the end.  It starts off as a fast [...]

Current State of the Economy

Posted by: hannahshulla on: October 30, 2008

Today was one of the market’s best days in the last two weeks.  The Dow Jones jumped almost 900 points today for the second largest single point gain in a day in history.  This sent the market back up a little over 9,000.  However this does not make investors feel safe and reassured.  Investors have [...]

Posted by: charliekennedy on: October 30, 2008

The Recession

Posted by: trubino on: October 29, 2008

 Many people today are very stressed out for a lot of reasons.  One of the main reasons is the economy.  Some experts say that we have not had a recession like this since the 1970’s.  The economy did not fully recover from that recession for about ten or fifteen years.  They also say this recession [...]

High School Musical 3

Posted by: sallywatson on: October 29, 2008

Last weekend I had the privilege (NOT!) of seeing High School Musical 3.  I am not really a big Disney Channel movie fan, so I didn’t know what to expect.  It was incredibly cheesy, and I could predict everything that happened before it happened.  Of course the central relationship, between Gabriella and Troy, was flawless, and COMPLETLEY UNREALISTIC.  [...]

Posted by: trubino on: October 29, 2008

The Pearl River has become the home of worship to the world. It’s also home to thousands of China’s manufacturing exporters, who account for more than a third of the country’s exports. But falling demand around the world for made-in-China goods is shuttering small and medium sized companies across China’s manufacturing heartland, leading to layoffs. [...]

Gas Prices

Posted by: sallywatson on: October 29, 2008

When is the last time you filled up your car? If not recently then you are in for a pleasant surprise. Gas prices are much lower than I have seen them in a long time. It was only a few weeks ago when it seemed everyone was paying a fortune for gas. For example, it was [...]

Posted by: sallywatson on: October 29, 2008

Everyone has been asking themselves the same questions. What is going on with the Tampa Bay Rays? How come they have lost their past two games? Well to tell you the truth I don’t know what’s going on with them. They just don’t look like the same team that we saw playing against the Red [...]

Howl-O-Scream was a blast! I had never been to anything like it before, and it was everything I hoped it would be.
