Skullcandy versus Edifier: Which Brand is Better?           Headphones and earbuds have become rather essential to some people, including myself, who listen to music throughout a good chunk of their day. When looking to buy a pair of headphones or earbuds, most people would find aspects such as sound quality, durability, phone compatibility, battery life, and storage to be some of the most important deciding factors when deciding what to buy. Skullcandy has dominated the industry, making high quality products, yet Edifier also makes high quality products, just at a fraction of what Skullcandy charges.  When looking for higher quality and durability, Skullcandy is really good at meeting the standards of regular headphone users such as myself. I travel a lot, and I use my headphones for school as well, so they spend a lot of time in my backpack, which is why I tend to need a durable set of headphones that can survive that without breaking or having the c...

Tacos El Torito 2 vs Ten Down Bistro, which is the Best Restaurant in Othello? By Mason Russell There are two restaurants that I consider to be the best in Othello: Tacos El Torito 2 and Ten Down Bistro. Both of these restaurants are excellent and are well worth visiting. However, if you are just visiting the town and can only visit one, then you are going to have to make a decision. Ten Down Bistro, as the name suggests, is a bistro, located on the main street of Othello. It has no specific focus, and the menu has many different options that you can choose from. Tacos El Torito 2 is a Mexican restaurant located on First Avenue. The menu has many different kinds of Mexican cuisine, and a tiny smattering of American food like burgers. Now that we have everything set up, we can start comparing the two restaurants. Ten Down Bistro has a wider menu with more unique options. The two restaurants have very different focuses on their menu. As stated earlier, Ten Down Bistro has a very broad me...

Dutch Bros vs. Starbucks vs. Wake up Call: Which One Is Better? By: Briana Martinez  The Tri-Cities has multiple coffee shops located almost in every corner around Richland, Kennewick and Pasco. There are three main coffee shops that just about anyone knows; Dutch Bros, Starbucks and Wake Up Call. Although they all sell very similar drinks, they all happen to taste slightly different, and the  prices vary. If you enjoy going to coffee shops regardless of the    time then you should consider a few things in each coffee shop such as the menu options, prices, and the service provided in all the different locations around Richland, Kennewick and Pasco.   Menu Options:  Dutch Bros: Dutch Bros is well known for their energy drinks; however, they have kid friendly options, chai options and coffee options. If you like energy drinks I would recommend this place out of the three, especially if you like sweet drinks. They carry many sugar free options as well for thos...

The Ultimate Pet Showdown By: Daniel Vazquez      Cats and dogs are commonly known animals found in households across the country.  According to Forbes, “44.5% of U.S. households own dogs and 29% of households own cats” (2025). This means that 73.5% of households have either a cat or dog as a pet. They make loyal and supportive companions to not only adults but also to children as they can help encourage responsibility and provide emotional support to them. Beyond their loyalty and support, they’re also often considered a family members due to providing comfort in more ways. Despite all the benefits from owning a cat or dog, each of them has their own downsides. It’s essential for you to be aware of this, as cats and dogs have significantly different personalities, needs, and behaviors. Yet, the same question continues to arise and that is, “Which of the two animals do you prefer, a cat or a dog?” This question is one that is challenging to answer because many indivi...

Every makeup lover knows that the perfect base always requires a great foundation. So, should you go high end and splurge, or does the price not change the quality? The three foundations I will be diving into are the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation, the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Full Coverage Foundation and the Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Waterproof Foundation. These foundations are all matte, and two out of the three foundations are labeled as full coverage. With one being medium buildable coverage, so if you wanted to you can build it up to full coverage you can. All these foundations are marked to at least 12-hour wear or more with Make Up For Ever being 24-hour wear. As we know, skin prep is essential for the foundation to live up to its highest standards so the same skin prep will be considered for all the foundations. This way the only difference will be the formulas of the foundations. Image by Karly Jones on Unsplash   Fit...
