Book is Holy Grail to living cheaply

"Broke-Ass" Stuart Schuffman is not afraid to call you out. He uses every curse word in the book. He offends you for your bad spending habits and bluntly calls you a dumbass for your idiotic purchases. But, while you might feel insecure about your latest buy or offended by his ridicule, his book, "Young, Broke and Beautiful: Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply," is the Holy Grail for college students.

A band's debut album is never perfect. There are usually some great songs and ideas that don't work well together until the band gains more experience. The same can be said with directors.

Schedule of fall releases will make 2011 an unforgettable year

While it's common for most record labels to launch an onslaught of highly anticipated releases during the fall, this is being taken to a new extent in 2011. From my perspective, this year has been laden with excellent new releases, and given the schedule for upcoming records in the fall, 2011 is shaping up to be a stronger year than 2010.
