...Nowadays it seems like every chef or restaurateur is selling burgers. Bobby Flay has Bobby's Burger Palace; Danny Meyer has his uber-popular Shake Shack. Gabrielle Hamilton at Prune throws a little ground lamb into her burger to make it gamier. And that's not to mention all the chain burger joints creeping up around the country, from Umami Burger out west to Five Guys out east. The first and most obvious answer to the question of why we're so obsessed with burgers is: burgers are cheap. If you're going out to dinner and the entrees cost $33, the burger almost always costs half. It fills you up just as much as the filet of trout would (if not more) and it almost always comes with a generous pile of fries. So it's an economical, filling option. That's appealing. But I think the answer is a little more complicated than that. It's not just that burgers are cheap, it's that they're easy to eat. Because the meat is ground up, you don't have to do much chewing. Because it's served on a bun, it's easy to eat. There's no cutting, only lifting. And because burgers come with an array of sides, you can build yours to your own taste. That's appealing too. Another factor may be familiarity. Sometimes, when we go out to eat, we don't want to be challenged. We want the taste of the familiar and nothing's more familiar, at least to Americans, than the taste of a burger. Specifically the char that appears on the exterior of the meat after it hits the hot flame; that specific smell and taste...

...r TRAINING GUIDE RUN YOUR BEST HALF Five simple tips to help you achieve 13.1-mile success 1 BUILD SLOWLY Training to run 13.1 miles requires putting in more miles, which increases injury risk. To stay healthy, ramp up mileage and intensity gradually, increasing mileage by no more than 10 percent each week. Stick to the workouts on the training plans, and resist the urge to add miles. 2 SIMULATE RACE CONDITIONS 3 HAVE A PURPOSE FOR EACH RUN 4 PRACTICE EATING AND DRINKING 5 BREAK DOWN THE DISTANCE During training, practice for the terrain and conditions you’ll face on race day. If your race is on the roads, do most of your running on the roads. If your race starts at 8 a.m., plan several of your long runs for that time, so you can figure out what prerun fueling strategy works for you. If the course has a long hill at mile eight, map out a long run that follows that same pattern. Your Ultimate Half-Marathon Guide All the strategies, tips, and training plans you need to prepare you for your first—or fastest—13.1-miler F or years now, the half has been one of the hottest race distances around. For newer racers who’ve finished 5-Ks or 10-Ks, the half offers a worthy-yet-doable challenge without the 16-week training grind of the marathon. For more experienced runners, training for a half bolsters stamina for shorter, faster races and boosts endurance for the full 26.2. And you can bounce back from a hard half...

...I started snowboarding in 2008 and would love to give others the same experience I’ve had or something close to it. Until 2008 I had only been on a snowboard once before in my life and that was in 2006, indoors on manmade snow in Dubai, an experience that both terrified and elated me all at the same time. It wasn’t until 2008 and the epic snow storm that blanketed most of the nation that I decided to give it another go. Of course I had a few friends who were goading me into trying it, as I normally made fun of snowboarding or any other snow sports for that matter. I used to think it was too expensive, dangerous, and a waste of time. Why would I go out in the cold on purpose? Why would I pay to strap a sled to my feet and do crazy things? All of these questions and more went through my head while I was driving a group of Aussie friends up to Cypress Mountain in Vancouver, BC where I was planning to go snowshoeing and take photos. When we arrived at the mountain the sky started dumping snow, something it wasn’t’ doing when we started off from the city. It would make for a good snowshoeing experience, but would limit the photo opportunities. So, with that I decided to cave into the peer pressure I was feeling and give snowboarding another try. Keep in mind that only other time I had been strapped to a snowboard was in the United Arab Emirates on fake snow in August in the middle of the desert. The gear was smelly and sweaty from hundreds of other users, but it seemed...

...Joshua Roy Mrs. MC 12/6/12 3 paragraphs Rough draft Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott were on the run from police for the alleged beating of their child. This created a nationwide search as the couple had not been found for over ten days. This alone has created controversy and belief that the couple did in fact beat their child and were on the run because of it. These accusations are false because these young adults were clearly in love with their child and could never do such harm to him. They reported to police that they love their son and these injuries were a case of self infliction. Although it was reported they never brought the child to any doctors, the couple reported saying they cannot afford to pay for medical bills at the time because of the economy. Therefore the child could never receive care after his body had been wounded and it caused great bruising and tenderness. The families of Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott both agreed that the child had in fact created these wounds on his own will. There has not been any disclosure as to what specifically happened but it has been reported the child fell down the stairs and was left much harmed as a result. If both families are in support of their young children’s opinion, and actually agree themselves that these were in fact self inflicted, these two have a high probability of it being true. This case is at such magnitude that the family understands the truth should be told. Roland...

...We went back to our house and by the time we got there I couldn’t breathe. I tried to tell Mendale to grab a bag to take on the road. He finally got what I was trying to say and ran under the police tape and went to get a bag. I catch my breathe and run into my room and throw clothes and a few things I don’t want to leave behind before running downstairs. I grab my car keys and stuff them in the pocket of my jeans. I yell for Mendale to hurry up. Doesn’t he realize we have to go? I go down the hall into mom’s room and grab the safe key and take all the cash we have. There must be close to ten thousand. I didn’t even know we had this much. I go into the kitchen and pack up as much non-perishable food as possible and take the three bags of food and my bag outside and put them into my...

...Giancarlo Diaz 10/23/12 English 101 Rough Draft Tom Twyker is a world famous filmmaker. He is best known for his two films “Run Lola Run” and the film adaptation of the book “Perfume” by Patrick Suskind. These two films that he wrote, produced, and directed have won many awards worldwide. His newest release “Cloud Atlas” is set to come out in theaters this winter, but luckily for me, I got to see a prescreening of the film earlier this summer. As a result, I had one crazy night. One day during the summer, my good friend Daniel gave me a call. He called to invite me to a prescreening of “Cloud Atlas.” I said yes without having any idea who’s in the film and who made it. I had no clue that Tom Twyker, one of my favorite filmmakers, was involved in the film. I was just happy to go see a free movie screening. When I went online to do some research on the film we were going to watch. I found that Tom Twyker’s “Cloud Atlas” is an adaptation of a novel by the same name from the author, David Mitchell. It is an exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. I was so psyched to see Tom Twyker’s name attached to the film. On the day that the prescreening was showing, I met with Daniel at his house. We printed out the tickets online, and then quickly left the house to drive to the movie theater in...

...Reaction Paper Portfolio Course: World Film History Ma Vie en Rose (France, 1997, directed by Alain Berliner): Living Under Social Pressure The movie Ma Vie en Rose was directed by a Belgian director, Alain Berliner, in 1997. A seven-year old boy named Ludovic (Georges du Fresne) is the main character of the movie. He is a boy who wants to be a girl. Moreover, he is totally sure that he is a girl and that it was just a simple God’s mistake that can be righted. However, he finds it extremely hard to live under social pressure that he faces at home and at school. Ludovic’s family tries to ignore his female-oriented games at first. As Ludovic’s mother Hanna (Michele Laroque) says that at the age of seven he was like any other child searching for his identity and individuality. But what happens in reality is that every member of his family shares opinion that he was born a boy and should stay a male until he dies. In fact, he is not given freedom of choice by his family. Ludo adores his mother Hanna and grandmother (Helene Vincent) and admires their beauty and femininity. These two women can make him happy, but he wants them to love him as he is. However, Ludo cannot find enough respect and tolerance for his female identity even from them. Little Ludo learns that expressing his female orientation publicly evokes a negative reaction from both adults and his peers at school. His classmates accept it as a rule that girls...

...Films are a collaboration of art forms. The plot of the film is easy and engaging to follow. The characters are meant to be relatable as we aspirational. Finally the art forms that are incorporated are able to tie the entire film together. This what makes a film artistic. Unfortunately Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run does not make the cut as a successful film due to the fact that it leaves the audience in confusion the characters are underdeveloped, the film is trying too hard to use different art forms that ultimately become a jumbled mess, and the plot doesn’t really make sense if it is just watched from beginning to end. Characters are very important in film, they are what make the movie. Characters t are memorable and enjoyable loathsome and...

...brain cannot make the person see future events before they happen because that would be an impossible trait for a person to have. Society may think that they can solve their future outcomes just by knowing what will happen in their near future. According to Run Lola Run by Tom Tykwer, the movie shows that love, fate, and death can lead to unexpected changes throughout a person's life. In a person’s eye, love is based on sacrificing their own lives for another loved one, so that their loved one would not be harmed by future events. An evidence for that would be that in the three different scenarios,...
