Xtreme Choices
by Ivan Van Vuuren
This is no ordinary day in Hawaii. You can almost feel the tension. Not a cloud in the sky, turquoise blue water, people and cameras lined up along the beach with a handful of some of the world’s best tow-in-surfers ready for the big wave that could possibly get them the next cover shot or even the $60,000 prize for riding the biggest wave of the year. The stage is set. All of a sudden there’s a scramble, a monster of a wave causes the horizon to disappear, there’s shouting and excitement from the shore, jet skis and riders jockeying for position...

Avatar
by Daniel Thompson
Expectations for James Cameron’s “Avatar” have been through the roof for several reasons. Claimed to be more than ten years in the making, Director Cameron came out at this year’s Comic Con and made the statement that the film would be a ‘game-changer’ for movies from a technological standpoint. Also, rumors circulated that it’s the most expensive film ever made, with budget projections anywhere from 250 to 500 million dollars. Add to that Cameron, the director of the highest grossing film of all time, “Titanic.” The fact that he only directs a film every ten years or so adds to a hype machine that’s already at full power.

Could be Worse
Dear Sylas,
Like most people a lot of bad stuff has been going on for me and my family. Most of it has to do with the economy and just how that is effecting everything. The other day I was talking to a friend about these issues and he said “it could be worse” I felt infuriated but then got to thinking about it, and I guess it could be worse, but do you really think that it could be?
Sincerely,
Could Be Worse

Politically Confused
Lately I have been hearing a lot at my church about politics and who to vote for and how to vote on certain propositions. I feel like in some ways they are saying that if you don’t vote their way then you are less of a Christian, or maybe not even a Christian at all. I was just wondering what you thought of how people should vote? And what do you think about your pastor telling you how to vote?
Sincerely,
Politically Confused
