1040: Yuvraj just completed his 100. I'm itching to pat him on the back and kick further six inches down as well. He's outrageously, almost obscenely talented and blasphemously endowed. The space was crammed with so much of flair that discipline had to be left out, I guess. Here he's posing security threats to low-flying aircrafts, launching Krejza and Clarke on orbits. Twice the ball got out of s

Continuing the piece-mail best-offing from Whartscape day three, here’s day four:
Three electronic noisemakers split a time slot giving us a rapid succession of Mincemeat or Tenspeed’s droning melodies from what appeare
Today I found and resized some more pictures for Fantasy Football. I also wrote a story on Swamp Soccer and the market report.During the afternoon, I also moderated some comments on the Express' Have Your Say. This involved deleting any racist, libellious or obscene comments, and is a very important part of online journalism. It's an area I'd be keen to work in, and having passed a media law exam
On Sunday morning, we found a small mountain church to attend. The people there were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We spent the remainder of the day taking in the beautiful scenery. And while we were sight-seeing, we...
You made it over half way of the Pledge to Be Veg For Seven Days! Yay!Let's look at how meat effects world hunger.World Hunger and MeatMore than 840 million people go hungry in the world.Resources such as land, water, and other resources that could be used to grow food for human beings are being used to grow crops for farmed animals instead.It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound
As we come to the end of The 45 King appreciation week, Mark is still doing his thing. Still shopping beats and is rumored to be doing projects with some prominent artists in the near future. I think it would be great to see someone let him do an album to let him shine. The man is most worthy of being included in the upper echelon of legendary producers.

We are called to submit to the cry of the culture around us... - Dwight FriesenDay four of the National Workshop was perhaps my favorite. I was able to attend two of the seminars (at least in part) and found the closing panel discussion about Christian unity and the tensions between local and universal church fascinating. I'll post now about the two seminars I attended and then post about the panel discussion separately. The Edgewater Community Religious Association offered a seminar to share what they are doing. Edgewater is a neighborhood in Chicago that wrestles with and enjoys incredible diversity. And the local religious association reflects that. Various religions attempt to serve the neighborhood and maintain their distinct voices in a spirit of mutual respect and care. Only a few p
Today I captioned a picture gallery on Ryanair and then wrote a health article on a report on out-of-hours care.I had some story ideas of my own so I researched the loan shark teams set up last year, but the latest figures were some months out of date, so it couldn't run.I'm also trying to get an interview with someone on my journalism course who's done some interesting stuff...Here is the teenage cancer concert gallery that I captioned yesterday.Here is a gallery of art by the homeless that I captioned yesterday.
Trenches for electricityDay Four of the Great Kitchen Renovation of 2008. Despite the crew's best efforts, a thin veil of dust covers everything in the living room and bathroom, though our bedroom is thankfully unaffected (seemingly). Dust quickly clings to every inch of exposed skin the moment one ventures from the haven of the bedroom, and seems to slip stealthily into the mouth and eyes. The
Another partial day for me at Seoul Fashion Week. I got to see two really great shows in the evening, Lee Ju Young, 이주영, and Lie Bong Sang, 이상봉. Both of these designers had exciting and unconventional collections. Lee Ju Young has a love for hard rock music which is apparent in designs and was also apparent in her show. With her clothes you could step out and go to a club or concert. Lie Bong Sang's collection seemed to be like art you can wear. That means some pieces seemed to be more experimental than not, but it was very pretty collection with lots of circle patterns and florals. moi and Lee Ju YoungI had a chance to interview Lee Ju Young and, like the other designer interviews, it will end up on the FeetManSeoul site.Here is video from the end of Lee Ju Young's show.

We realize that we skipped out on Day Three, and we promise you didn’t miss much. Thankfully, we were home, tucked safely in bed. We’re back bright & early for Day Four, so buckle up for some Fashion Week gossip!

Well I got in trouble at work today for doing my job. Parents have been complaining because I have been making their precious little darlings do their work and stay in their assigned seats. Apparently, I am just supposed to sit there and take roll and do nothing else. Well, that is not my job description and just plain stupid. I figured that kids would complain because they do not like being told what to do. The principal had to babysit one of my classes today, which was embarrassing for me. It made me feel like I could not do my job at all. I refuse to go to work tomorrow. No one treats me like crap and gets away with it. I am going to have their teacher make them give a written apology to me about their bad behavior. When kids have more power than a sub, there is something wrong with the picture. So lets just say things did not go well today at all. Another day in the trenches, and hopefully my last one at that school for a very long time.
The Red Sox won last night, 6-3 as the baseball savant, sometime flighty, but all-world beater inched Boston closer to the ALCS thanks to a walk-off homer. He hit the long homer off Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez.To be quite honest, I have never heard Manny speak so much -- however, if were here him I'd be talking too...Meanwhile, the Yankees are in big, big trouble and in serious danger of not getting past the ALDS. Fausto Carmona Stymied the Bombers, and Andy Pettitte pitched a masterful game. Thanks to some bugs, Joba Chamberlain looked very un-Joba like and allowed Cleveland to score the tying run in the 8th inning. The Tribe won the 11th thanks to a Travis Hafner single.Yankee fans, it's not only A-Rod -- it's everyone. The bats need to wake up or it will be a long winter in New York City.***The Phillies and Cubs are fighting for their playoff lives tonight, as they counter against the Rockies and Diamondbacks, respectively.

Daily Goal: To Drive from Cooper Mountain Lookout (near Chelan, Washington) to Chopaka (border with British Columbia)

Since this going to be the last day of the trip and I had no idea how long it would actually take to complete my goal of reaching the British Columbia border at Chopaka. So I set my alarm to get up and be on the road by daybreak.

Day Four.
I couldn’t sleep last night.
My mind was a jumble of emotional tatters replaying the days events over and over in the calmness of “insomnia.”
Yesterday, I cleaned out quite a bit of the physical remnants of my past. That night as each old memory resurfaced shedding layer after layer of emotion. What was hiding beneath all this was nothing I had considered but never the less revealed
Day Four.I couldn’t sleep last night.My mind was a jumble of emotionalfragments replaying the days events over and over in the calmness of “insomnia.”Yesterday, I cleaned out quite a bit of the physical remnants of my past.That night as each old memory resurfaced shedding layer after layer of emotion, unearthing all that has been hiding. It was nothing I had considered but never the less it revealed itself.The attic.The bottomless pit inside my mind that hid within its shadows; those silent tentacles that slithered out of its darkness, encircling themselves around me gripping me firmly in the past.I was about to experience a Spiritual Detox.It was about 11:00am before I finally felt tired enough to fall asleep.I felt empty and a bit scared of what the effect of releasing so much emotional turmoil would be.I never lived without the distorted comforts of my beliefs and letting go of so much in such a short amount of time left me feeling almost incomplete. Fear may grow within the e

Yesterday we were skunked 7 hours in the stand and not a bear to be seen. Thats Hunting!!! The weather was sunny and windy and the bears must of been napping for the afternoon. I tried my bear call for about 15 minutes as we knew Kelly was coming with the Rhino and I wanted to see if anything would come in but nothing did and we got picked up and headed back to the lodge for another wonderful meal by Bertha and home cooked Apple Pie ala mode.I now am starting to develop a Fat little belly! Today we are hoping for one last night in the stand where we see a bear with a Fat Little BELLY!!!! I have passed on about 10 plus bears that would of all been average and I have decided to GO BIG OR GO HOME empty handed! So I will continue to hold out for the big bruin that haunts my dreams...Huntinglife.com is a project I am taking on to create a resource to match outfitters and hunters
together along with informative knowledge, hunting news, resources and great articles and pictures.

This morning I woke up and had a fantastic breakfast and then took a long nap before another wonderful lunch! Berta is one amazing cook up here at Horns Whitetail Adventures, you will not go home hungry!I got some practice in at the target and then it was off to the stands. We were all set up and ready by 3:15 in the stand and it was about 45 minutes before the first bear came in. He was a black with a bit of brown in his coat and a bit scraggly and rubbed about 175lbs or so. Then the little sow from yesterday came in and he chased her off the stand and then a third bear came into the stand and after he left a real nice bear came in.This bear was a shooter we estimate to be around 300lbs... He was really nervous and circled the bait for about 10 minutes before he came in. I had the arrow ready and when I knew that Max was on him with the camera I drew back. He was standing on the tree looking up at the beaver bait and I had the pin right on his vitals. As I touched off the rele
This is an extremely sad occasion - Glasgow Fashion Week 2007 has ended.BUT...... The afterparty starts at 10pm tonight in the Corinthian.It's gonna be great.So I'm keeping you all in suspense till I've finished partying. Haha.I'll write lots about what happened today and the whole week generally tomorrow, along with pics etc from the party. I'm sure you'll love it.The pic on the right is from today. Read tomorrow for the story of why she's looking unusually happy on the catwalk AND more pics to accompany it.You lucky people!I'm off to get ready.Goodbye.
I'm thinking I need to come up with a better headline for each day..something more enticing than Day #X. That's kinda boring isn't it? I'll fix it tomorrow.Remember how exhausted I was yesterday? I was amazed to find I was perky and alert this morning...even before my usual 2 cups of coffee. Today was yet another amazing day with remarkable breakthroughs and insights. I won't go into great detail on that side of things (you'll just have to wait for the course! How's that for a pre-plug?!) but I will give you the low-down on my tasks.Here's how I spent my day:sent out an email to 5,000 people. downloaded Filezilla (very useful - I can now upload documents and they can be shared by the team. As a result, things will be more organized and won't be laying around in my Inbox folder. They will be archived however...always have back-ups and preferably back-ups of your backups). wrote questions and templates for 5 press releasesfinished 2 of those press releases (waiting on input fro
