On a complimentary cot, one-year-old nugget me flew across the ocean blue to America. My family moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where my mom babysat, made diapers out of clothes and relied on governmental programs like WIC to keep me fed. The O.G. dumpster divers, my parents furnished rooms with trashed treasures. Modest beginnings and hard work gave bloom to comfort. We tumbled up the East Coast, moving every year of my childhood.
As the 2016 ECAC slate begins this weekend for the majority of the league, let’s examine Cornell’s competition by predicted end-of-season standings.
The idea to subscribe to a meal delivery service did not dawn on me until one night when I was browsing the New York Times Cooking website one Saturday in early September. I came across this Spring Ramen Bowl with snap peas and asparagus recipe, and was excited for a moment — until I opened my kitchen pantry to find there was nothing but ramen. No snap peas, no asparagus, no ginger and no lemons.
After over 10 years in Ithaca, the Collegetown location of Kraftees College Textbook and Clothing store will close its doors at the end of March. While there is another location of Kraftees in Oswego — approximately 75 miles away — the Ithaca location is closing permanently, according to owner Patrick Kraft. Plans are in place to build an apartment building, Dryden South, where Kraftees was formerly located. It will have 40 new beds and should be completed by August 2016, according to Kraft. Although Kraft had originally planned to have Kraftees occupy the ground floor space of Dryden South, because the Johnson School will house a new education center next door, Kraft said he decided to “explore other more complementary uses for the commercial space.”
Kraft said that although he regrets that he must leave his Ithaca location, he is looking forward to spending more time with his family.

Re: “Letter to the Editor: The Right to a Safe Campus and a Secure Israel”
The accusation in yesterday’s letter to the editor that any member of SJP “followed students around Central Campus” and threatened their safety is absolutely false. In fact, it was SJP’s Arts Quad display on Oct. 29 to 31 which was attacked and vandalized by a group of Cornell students; two SJP members merely attempted to retrieve the signs from the nearby vandals in a civil manner. In addition, the members of the protest on Nov. 19 who were quoted in the letter as saying “We will respond to aggression with aggression” were not members of Students for Justice in Palestine.
Igor Stravinsky is a rather controversial name in the music world. His 1913 ballet The Rite of Spring is well known not only for its jarring dissonance and abnormal rhythmic patterns but also for causing one of the most notorious riots in musical history. Audience members booed and walked out of the theater when members of Serge Diaghilev’s dancing troupe Ballets Russes appeared on stage, gesticulating frenetically and stomping in an inelegant manner. Of course, one should expect nothing less, considering Stravinsky’s inspiration. “There arose,” he wrote later on in his life, “a picture of a sacred pagan ritual: the wise elders are seated in a circle and are observing the dance before the death of the girl whom they are offering as a sacrifice to the god of spring in order to gain his benevolence.” The music perfectly reflects the grotesque beauty of this vision: The opening bassoon solo beckons us to a mysterious world that quickly turns violent with frightening string chords, yet also an inner peace survives with the repetition of the simple initial melody.
Making a book into a movie is a risky business. Book lovers always assert that nothing can compare to the original work, while those who have not read the book will either forgo the movie completely or will leave the theater confused by those crucial missing scenes. All in all, you would think that The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson, would be another well-intentioned but forgettable movie. You would be wrong.By now, the plot is probably familiar to most: In a post-apocalyptic America, the remaining population has been divided into 12 districts which are controlled by the Capitol. 17-year-old Katniss Everdeen lives in the impoverished District 12 with her younger sister Prim and her ailing mother.
I will go down on the mat with anyone who disagrees that Anthony Bourdain is not the ideal human being. Host of the Emmy-award winning show No Reservations, author of Kitchen Confidential and reluctant Crown Prince Gourmand, Bourdain is pretty much the voice of all things food and travel. He is by far the coolest anti-hero to ever exist. Here’s why:1. “I eat.
For this edition of 10 Questions, Sun Columnist Katie Schubauer sits down with senior field hockey captain Olivia Boyd. They discuss the forward’s fascination with uncooked chicken nuggets, fear of outer space and former TV experience. 1. Olivia, you are a senior captain on the women’s field hockey team. What has Cornell field hockey meant to you over the course of your college career?
Every time I sit down to write one of these columns I often spend hours trying to come up with a subject that will be either entertaining or serious enough to make the reader think about something that he or she ordinarily would not consider. For lack of a better idea, I have decided to try and accomplish neither of those two objectives this week, and instead do my best Taking My Talents to C-Town impersonation — which ironically is also running in today’s paper — by ranting about whatever comes to mind (read: the first three games of the baseball season) in bullet point form. • As one might expect I watch a lot of ESPN in my spare time, probably too much. If you turned on ESPN last week, odds are you saw 10 different prognosticators try to predict how the Major League Baseball season will unfold. When I was younger I used to hang on every word, and would inevitably have to turn off the TV in disgust after seeing not one person take the Mets as division champs.
