BigO in Singapore

Most people are rather stunned when they visit Singapore for the very first time, and it’s common to wonder why it seems as though its secrets have been hidden for so long. It’s been a major world port for over 500 years, and is one of the more multicultural and cosmopolitan places on the planet. Its treasures seem to be relatively hidden in other parts of the globe, revealing just how large a planet can be, and far away its [...]

Hawaii Five-0 Remake Series

Remakes seem to be the thing right now. A few seasons ago Warner Bros. picked up a remake series of Beverly Hills 90210 entitled 90210. Now CBS has announced that they will be doing a remake of the popular cop show Hawaii Five-0. The cast, stars from Lost and Battlestar Gallactica, will have their work cut out for them as they attempt to modernize the show without shutting out fans familiar with the original series. No word yet when the [...]

Political Controversary Taking Over Miss USA… Again

For last couple of years, it seems as though the Miss USA pageant has become more about politics and less about the pageant. Last year, Carrie Prejean was faced with a question about gay marriage and this year Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was asked about immigraton reform. Ultimately neither girl ended up with the crown, so it makes you wonder just how much emphasis is put on these questions. Perhaps they should stay out of politics and just focus [...]

Planning Life After Graduation

Many high school graduates look forward to graduation with great anticipation. Not only because they are finished with school but also because they have the exciting new world of college to look forward to. Even though it means taking more classes, it often means moving away from home, meeting new friends, and a whole host of new experiences and new opportunities. However, after college many students are left wondering what to do. For the vast majority of their lives they [...]

More Trouble for Tiger

As if the sex scandal and estrangement from his soon-to-be-ex- wife weren’t enough; Tiger Woods is facing problems once again.  This time the pain is physical.  He is believed to be suffering from a bulging disk in his neck, although a CAT scan performed in the early part of the week should be able to confirm it.  The injury, common among golfers, forced him to withdraw from The Players Tournament last week.  With the proper treatment he should be able [...]

“American Idol”: The End in Sight

For the last nearly 10 years, American Idol has been one of, if not the, top rated reality show.  From it stars like Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Clay Aiken, Mandisa, and many others have been born.  However, as much as we hate him, Simon Cowell’s announcement that this will be the last season has had serious effects on the ratings.  While “Idol” is still in the top 3, ratings are down nearly 20% from last year.  Are we suffering from “Idol” [...]

Evolving Southwestern Products

The Southwestern Company products have been changing slowly over time for a while now. That should come as no surprise when you look around at the major changes the world has gone through in the last hundred years alone, not to mention before that. It hasn’t just been the books that they carry that have come in and out of print since then. They have also acquired new books that upon inspection it was clear that they needed to completely [...]
