Impact of ink

Spinnaker | Nov 12, 2008
Having trouble finding a good job? It might be because of a piercing you do not want to get rid of or a visible permanent tattoo. Forty-eight percent of Americans aged 18-29 have a tattoo or a piercing other than on their ears, according to a 2006 study by The Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology. Jimmy Twisdale, a junior physical therapy major, believes people with a tattoo or piercing are individuals who have their own reasons behind the type of “body art” they have, he said. Twisdale has a total of six tattoos and both of his ears pierced. All of his tattoos have meaning behind them from a past life experience, he said.

Colombian artifact collection holds culture-rich stories

Spinnaker | Nov 12, 2008
UNF is exhibiting a Colombian artifact collection on loan from a former Peace Corps deputy director, who chatted Nov. 5 with UNF students, faculty and staff during the exhibit’s reception. Wilfredo Gonzalez bought some of the artifacts – like the gold replicas from the Gold Museum of Bogota – and was given others – like an ocelot, which is a small cat – during his assignment as Peace Corps director in Colombia from 1978 to 1980. “The pieces that I like are the pieces that have stories,” Gonzalez said.

Question 1: Although his team is only 6-3 – a catastrophic record for the Patriots – ESPN is already referring to Matt Cassel as the Patriot’s MVP. Should Tom Brady be scared for his job?
Absolutely not. But then again, I said the same thing about Drew Bledsoe after Tom Brady’s first game as his replacement. Matt Cassel will go on to start for another team in the near future. Tom Brady has nothing to lose; he has been more dominant then any other quarterback this decade. Matt Cassel will always be a career backup. Plus, Tom has Gisele by his side. I hope so. I can’t stand Tom Brady because he always seems to get everything he wants without the hard work. Matt Cassel, on the other hand, is a hardworking blue-collar football player. Cassel is such a elegant and girly name. Brady has nothing to be scared of. When he is healthy again, his manliness will scare Cassel away.

Men’s soccer rumble disappoints; high hopes for women’s basketball

Spinnaker | Nov 12, 2008
I’m back like a vertebra. I know it’s been a while, but I’m a busy bird, and everyone wants a piece of me. I’m super excited to say there is a photo floating around on the Internet of “Air Ozzie” dunking. In fact, the picture was spotted last week on CBS47 News. It’s called exposure, and your ol’ pal Ozzie could use some. Back to the photo, some say it is photoshopped. Not true. Check out the video on the UNF Athletics homepage at www.unfospreys.com for the evidence.
