bag and all. EBSCOhost and Google are my best friends. Recently during a research endeavor I stumbled upon Gluten Free Registry (www.glutenfreeregistry.com), a website devoted to connect patrons with gluten free restaurants, markets and businesses across the country. Of course, I cross-refer with restaurants’ websites. Many restaurants post their menus online and denote dishes that are gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and/or lactose free. However, it’s smart to call restaurants and double-check that they have the required dietary options. Finally, we make reservations to ensure we won’t get turned away from the few places we can dine at safely. (I recommend making reservations, even if there are no food intolerances or allergies, especially on holiday weekends.) Be assertive: In our travels we’ve found that many restaurants are accommodating when it comes to food intolerances and allergies. It’s just about asking the right questions and listening to the answers. If we ever feel unsure, we either ask if we can bring in our own salad dressing or condiments or we find a different restaurant. Most restaurants cater to the customer. Above all, have fun. I’ve found that having a full cooler, a list of trustworthy restaurants, a reservation or two, and knowledge that leads to flexibility lets me relax, close my eyes (if I’m not driving), and enjoy where the road takes us.
“Blue Spotted Tail.” “Blue Spotted Tail” is one of the most moving songs I’ve ever heard. The most stripped down song on the record is also the most powerful because Pecknold’s vulnerable vocals are brought to the front, with the sparse acoustic guitar perfecting complementing his beautiful yet hopelessly depressing lyricism: “Why is life made only for to end? Why do I do all this waiting then? Why this frightened part of me that’s fated to pretend?” The Fleet Foxes have put together another phenomenal record that is sure to garner just as much acclaim as their debut. “Hopelessness Blues” shows the growth of a great band and puts the Fleet Foxes up there as one of the best bands to come out in the past decade.

films producer, almost infuses Wiig and the cast with his patented crude humor formula. It’s almost like experiencing the conversations from The Hangover or Superbad; the comedic timing is perfect, the laughs are genuine and the situations are completely ridiculous. Not to mention the chemistry between cast mates is spot on. Men could learn a lesson or two from the movie. Women aren’t always perfect, clean and respectful in stressful situations like men may think. In fact, it just goes to show you that women can be just as insane and irrational, if not more so. In a completely respectful way, of course. Though there may be a few hit-or-miss jokes and situations, cue the street defecation and violent vomiting; Wiig hits her mark with an almost effortless ease, giving the movie a hilariously satisfying experience. Bridesmaids also lucked out on snagging director Paul Fieg (The Office). He knows exactly how long to keep a scene running in order to get the full affect of comedy and heart, which is not an easy task. It’s also great to see women prominent in comedy. With the genre and business primarily a boys club, Wiig and friends prove that you don’t need testosterone to be funny,

Fireworks will also be at the intramural fields July 4. Senior Alesia Hill enjoys the fireworks every year. “I love fireworks,” Hill said. “My birthday is July 3, and while the nation thinks that they are celebrating the independence of our country, they are actually celebrating my birthday.” Al-Mar Lanes and Varsity Lanes on Main Street offer places to bowl. To perfect your swing, go to the golf course that is open to the public at Bowling Green Country Club and Forrest Creason on the University’s campus.
