AFTER STAFF - A Closer Look: Sol Neelman, diversifying to support a ‘weird sports’ personal project - (USA)
Photographer Sol Neelman left a staff job at The Oregonian in 2007 after ten years as a newspaper photojournalist. Although he’s won a Pulitzer and been honored twice by POYi, Sol does not claim to be an expert at the “After Staff” transition — and that’s exactly why I wanted to share his story. Burnt out on low-paid editorial, exploring commercial and wedding , and pursuing the personal project he’s passionate about, Sol echoes the experiences of almost every photographer I talked to for

More on the slow pace of a writer's life - (USA)
My previous post got me thinking. I told you in it that the most important thing a writer can do is never give up, and in this vein I wanted to remind you that in the past six years, since I've become a published novelist, I have written no fewer than four novels that I could not sell. That's right. I have written six that sold (rewriting the sixth at the moment, for publication in the spring), but there were four others that I loved and worked hard on, that I had to let go because my editor and

NCAA Tournament Live Blog: (3) Syracuse Vs. (14) Stephen F. Austin [March Madness] - (USA)
Your live blogger for this game will be Steve Krakauer of Mediabistro's TVNewser . No, I did not offer this game to him in exchange for a profile story. Five years ago today, the Syracuse Orange (not "men") won their last NCAA tournament game. For the program of Derrick Coleman, John Wallace and Carmelo Anthony, that's a long time. And for an alum like myself who has only seen ‘Cuse play in the NIT since graduation, this game means a lot more than a usual 3-14 matchup. Before we get to the

Pummeler: WATCH THE OVECHKIN VIDEO MADE BY A CAPS/PUMMELER FAN! GREAT WORK!!! Ovechkin's quote about our song, to a Russian interviewer:"But not long ago Washington fans made up a song in my honor. It went something like "When they broke his nose, he hammered in four goals against Montreal". And all of this to the tune of some slamming music something like Rammstein. Well, it is true, you can't break your nose to Mozart." Check Pummeler music new song 'Crosby sucks' at MySpace (auto play)h/t to

Asbestos - (USA)
VANCOUVER-My cousin and I had our last sleepover when I was nine and she’d just turned twelve. I didn’t know it would be our last. Her mom had given her a kiss and closed the door to my bedroom fifteen minutes before. They always kissed hello or goodbye on the mouth. Just something a little extra they did in front of people. I’d never gotten used to it. The door wasn’t quite shut so I’d gotten up to close it properly, with the click. We needed that click before we felt safe to whisper.We’d alrea

An Introduction To CFL Canadian Football For The NFL Fan - (USA)
by Scott Morrison In the United States, summertime is when teams get prepared to play football. NFL teams start training camp, and college teams start practice. North of the border in Canada, however, summertime is when their professional football season begins in the form of the Canadian Football League (CFL). American football fans may not realize just how long and storied the history of Canadian pro football CFL style actually is. The league has been around since 1930 and the Grey Cup

Top Ten Goalie Masks In The NHL - (USA)
Goalie masks in the NHL are unique. They are a form of art that often expresses the personality on the goaltender and often look pretty sweet. A goalie mask can take months to create as the helmet is carefully detailed and painted. But the finished piece of work is awesome. So I bring to today the top ten goalie masks in the NHL. The best ones are not only awesome in look but also because of the meaning behind them. First off are a few honorable mentions. Peter Budaj (Colorado Avalanche) A

A short story for Sarvi — All of Me - (USA)
One of my readers on Facebook asked if I could post a short story. This is one that was never published (and likely won’t be; I don’t imagine I’ll be sending it out after this). It’s one of the few short stories I’ve ever worked on that was intended for teens. Most of my short stories, including the published ones, were all for adults. This isn’t the best story I’ve ever written and not the worst either…(ha, great intro, right?), but I hope you like it. So, without further ado… All of Me H

Lumberjack cuties! - (USA)
A few days ago, the few all-sports blogs I read all ran with this story: Beauty pageant contestants are also members of the University of New Hampshire woodsmen team. Christiann and Arielle Unger, 21 and 18 respectively, chop wood and compete in pageants. Christiann has actually won one. Of course, there's a picture: That's Arielle on the left. I'm not sure which is more awesome: the fact that the sisters are beauty pageant contestants who also chop wood, or that the University of N

insomnia #10 - (USA)
I do think these “insomnia” posts tend to sound the same. Nonetheless, here’s another.I figured I might as well get up and do something given the utter lack of sleep I was able to achieve; worry spins my brain through all hours lately. Why do we react to stress with insomnia, creating exhaustion and therefore making the days harder to get through when a good night’s rest would set us right?Instead of a worry doll, I whisper into the computer, my fingers as quiet on the keyboard as I can manage.

World, meet the SFA Lumberjacks - (USA)
When I tell people in North Carolina where I went to college, the typical response is, “Oh.” That’s because most people (outside of Texas) have no idea where Stephen F. Austin State University is or why in the world I chose to go there. Well, SFA — located in Nacogdoches, Texas — isn’t the tiny school it sounds like. It’s Texas’ version of Appalachian State, except for the sports teams. That is, until this week … SFA is on the sports map (nationally, anyway). The Lumberjacks are in the NCAA M

This time, it’s Puma peddling the cozy wares with a lumberjack print on their XS850. One pair is in blue and black while the other sports a red pattern with a bunch of earth tones for contrast. They’re pretty expensive at ¥14,700 (Approx. $149 USD), but it might be worth it to look this good while staying to
