On Christmas Day this year, millions of Christians will celebrate the birth of God’s son Jesus Christ. Many secularists will also observe their own Christmas traditions: spending lavishly, earning holiday pay, cutting down trees and hanging coloured light bulbs. Others still will regard the season with disdain because they are either not fans of its message, or not fans of presents and time off work.
I respect all these views. The only perspective I don’t like is the person who Bah-humbugs any display of Christmas spirit.

I have lived in multiple cities before and Saskatoon is probably in the worst condition. Now before you bitch at the foreigner who isn’t even from this province, please let me explain. Put away the torches and pitchforks.
Go to the City of Saskatoon’s “Quick Facts” page online and what do you see? Pictures of the city skyline, though not in winter. You also see people walking by our beautiful riverfront, once again, not during winter. To an outside observer, Saskatoon would seem pretty awesome. And yes, we have a total of 2,381 hours of sunshine a year, the Saskatoon Exhibition, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and our famed uranium and potash industries.

When the first Saints Row title arrived in 2006, it was dismissed by many as a shallow Grand Theft Auto clone. However, in subsequent years, the series has developed a significant fanbase and carved out a unique identity in the urban sandbox genre. The latest entry, Saints Row: The Third, takes a spectacular plunge off the deep end.

Two years ago, Jade Etienne’s name likely wasn’t topping the Canadian Football League’s scouting list. Fast forward to last weekend, however, and Etienne was only 11 points shy of hoisting the league’s championship trophy.
The former University of Saskatchewan Huskie was part of the Winnipeg Blue Bomber team that lost to the B.C. Lions in the 99th Grey Cup on Nov. 27. 2011 was Etienne’s rookie season in the CFL.

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies wrestling squad was lucky that Katie Dutchak wasn’t quite yet ready to step off the mat.
The former captain of the Holy Cross High School team and first-year wrestler with the Dogs nearly moved to Missouri this year to take her rodeo career to the next level. However, after a bronze-medal performance in the Canadian junior wrestling finals last year — a finish that she considered lacklustre — she decided that she “wasn’t ready to be done wrestling.”

A group of classmates at the University of Saskatchewan has undertaken a long-term study that will examine the environmental pressures to binge drink on campus and at campus-related events.
The U of S Student Binge Drinking Prevention campaign originally started as a sociology assignment, but has since evolved into a funded initiative run by four students. Since September the group has been collecting data from students on their attitudes toward alcohol consumption in the hope of being able to educate future freshmen of the risks involved.

Did you feel it? On Nov. 8, an asteroid brushed right by our little blue sphere in space, giving some of us a genuine scare. I’m not talking some dinky, burns-up-in-our-atmosphere asteroid we scoff at several times a day. We almost got hit by a 400-metre-wide clump of coal and space evil.
Although we weren’t directly threatened, this time, this incident reminds us just how fragile our planet is, and how Earth has little to no defence plans in the event that an asteroid decides not to take the scenic route.

The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) tells a tale that has become a staple of the film world: one man’s triumph over adversity.
It follows the life of Martin Lomax, a lowly, sexually-abused parking attendant, as he casts off the shackles of his dark and dreary existence and embarks on a journey to live out his dream: sewing 12 people together mouth-to-anus so that they possess a single digestive tract.
