The Kansas City Chiefs warm up pre-game anthem “We Ready” blared through the speakers at Arrowhead Stadium during a cold November Sunday evening, but the Chiefs were anything but ready as the Pittsburgh Steelers defense took advantage of Chiefs’ back-up quarterback Tyler Palko’s four interceptions in a 13-9 Steelers victory.

Arrowhead Stadium is also considered the loudest place to play football in the NFL as the Chiefs proudly boast on their video screens before the game, and it was when Tyler Palko was in the game at quarterback; however, the crowd noise wasn’t all positive.

With injuries to Chiefs starting QB Matt Cassel, running back Jamaal Charles, and safety Eric Berry, the Chiefs need consistency from Palko.

How many local bands have the privilege to open up for one of the legendary bands in metal history? On Nov. 2, One Gun Solution, Left to Die and Lock17 opened up for none other Anvil at the Roxy.

“I am not a big heavy metal/rock listen and I rarely go to concert, but I enjoyed being there,” said concertgoer John Kennedy.

“I really enjoyed One Gun Solution and the cover song that Left to Die did Crimson and Clover originally sung by the 1968 American rock band, Tommy James and the Shondells.”

Some fans stayed until 11 p.m. just to see Anvil perform.

Classical music crossover acts have a tough row to hoe. They can be greeted with widespread, awe-inspired rapture or they can cause the collective scratching of heads.

There is no guarantee for success when it comes to classical music crossovers and that is due, in large part, to the accessibility of the music and the subject matter.

While currently mired in the days of Justin Beiber’s attempts at free-styling about the hardships of never hitting puberty to Kesha (yes, I know she uses an “$” in there somewhere but she’ll get no tacit endorsement from me), you run the risk of not getting the same media coverage for works that are actually groundbreaking and (gasp!) entertaining to listen to.

Smoking is dangerous. No one should smoke. This has been the disclaimer for this article.

For those who choose to indulge, D.D.N.T. Tobacco, located on SW 59th and May Ave., may be an excellent solution to getting quality tobacco without paying through the nose. The shop offers a unique deal: any carton of cigarettes in the shop, for only $25. How is this deal possible?

Customers select the blend of tobacco they like, and are handed a tub of that blend, a carton of cigarette tubes, and shown to a rolling station.

If that sounds unpleasant, reassurances are in order: The rolling machines are electric-hopper types, capable of turning out a carton in 30 minutes or less, even in the hands of a novice.

An original tune about coal miners who built a city was the opening song for Time for Three when the trio performed in concert on campus Nov. 3. Rannan Meyer, who plays the double bass, wrote this moving song entitled “Wyoming 307.” Violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicolas Kendall complete the trio.

As they played the song, the members of the group recited an inspirational story of the miners accomplished this feat.

James Nantze, an audience member said, “I appreciated the depth Time for Three put into their music. It spoke to me.”

You could film Johnny Depp standing quietly in a plain white room for two-and-a-half hours straight. If you released that footage millions of women would still flock and happily pay good money just to watch him be.

Luckily Depp hasn’t put us in that position. He keeps exceeding our expectations, film after film. “The Rum Diary” only follows suit.

“The Rum Diary,” originally a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, is about an American journalist who finds himself confronted with himself and various difficult situations when he takes a job writing for a failing newspaper in Puerto Rico. He tries to balance his drinking and the antics that accompany island life, while consciously attempting to do his job, and salvage what’s left of the paper. The only hitch is the plethora of other characters in his life bent on preventing this from occurring.

Nov. 5 marked a night of fun and frustrations at the Lucky Star Casino.

I was about to see a band from the ‘90s my mother never approved of — Stone Temple Pilots. I began to get pumped up as I took my place in line and wait edfor about an hour. This was not the most frustrating part of the evening, but waiting for the band to take the stage was.

As I made my way inside I notice that, because I didn’t purchase ridiculously expensive VIP tickets, there was no way of getting anywhere near the stage.

Only seven weeks ago, a new restaurant in Oklahoma City, Tucker’s Onion Burgers, opened its doors at 324 N.W. 23rd.

Tucker’s is owned by A Good Egg Dining Group that also owns Cheever’s, Republic Gastropub, Red Primesteak and Iron Starr Urban Barbecue.

To say that Tucker’s delivers the same uniqueness and customer satisfaction as the rest of their restaurants would be fallacious. For an onion burger, I would say Tucker’s has hit a new level of mediocrity.

While I was there, I had the “Mother Tucker” burger, which consisted of a pound of beef, onion, lettuce and tomatoes. The juicy goodness had me scarfing the burger down like I was fresh out of prison, which is a good indication that something has tickled my taste buds.

After what most would consider a much-anticipated arrival of the Whole Foods grocery store chain to Oklahoma City, it has finally opened its doors to the public. And it is safe to say that lives up to the hype.

Located across the street from the huge Chesapeake Empire at 6001 N. Western, Whole Foods is just one mile north of I-44, an accessible option for customers traveling from other parts of the city.

Whole Foods, originally based in Austin, Texas , is known for healthy natural and organic foods including produce, gourmet food options, fresh seafood and meats and locally produced cheeses.

Not only does Whole Foods tailor to the health-conscious individual, it also promotes local economy and local farmers.

It’s nearly that wonderful time of year again, when children run from door to door in search of candy, and hooligans throw pumpkins through car windows.

But for older kids and adults, a nail biting, hair pulling, “cling to one’s boy or girl friend in interesting ways” thriller of a film can be a better way to spend the night than running about hoping the neighbors haven’t given away all the Kit Kats.

Fortunately, “Paranormal Activity 3” dropped to theaters Oct. 21, and it’s everything horror fans could dream of.
