See What? - Cheating

- Benefits

1. You are getting TWICE the action, (or in some case THREE TIMES the action).
2. You can be with an old rich man and have a lot of money, but be with someone you love secretly.
3. If you get dumped you have a back up.

- Now the down side to cheating

1. (most obvious one) You are cheating on you partner.
2. No one will ever trust again. (maybe some one, but never again will that person trust you)
3. You will feel awful.

Eat What? : SCRAPPLE

The horror stories of SPAM can not compare to those of scrapple. Apparently this loaf of mush is made up of a variety of pig parts, "everything but the oink" locals say. This tasty block of delight is most commonly served for breakfast in many Pennsylvania Dutch homes. The pig's heart, liver, head, and many other scraps are made into a broth (often bones are still attached at this point). After the creation is well cooked, bones and fat are taken out of the mix and different seasonings are added. The blob of pig is then pressed into loaves and left to set. Personally, the idea of scrapple terrifies me. I would hope to never be forced to eat such a mysterious combination of pig parts. My heart goes out to all those children in Pennsylvania forced to eat this every morning before school.

Say Where? : North Sentinel Island

This is North Sentinel Island, a 28 square mile land-mass that is located in the Bay of Bengal. The island is considered part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by the Indian government. It is almost completely covered with forest, besides the small beach areas that encircle the island. But what makes this island remarkable are the unique population of indiginous people that reside there, the Sentinelese people. They are among the only groups to have not been influenced by modern civilization, because of their extreme standoffishness when confronted. If helicopters try to land or even just fly over their island, they will attack with many arrows, completely opposed to any sort of contact.

Do what? Not be pretentious.

Do you find that people dislike you because you think you're superior to everyone else? If you want to come off as a more likeable person, follow these steps.

1. Think before you speak. If you're about to say something that makes it seem like you think you're better or smarter than the other person, don't say it.

2. Avoid preachy mannerisms. Don't talk like every word you say deserves to be cataloged in the archives of mankind for all eternity.

3.Don't hide the master document. It makes you seem like you don't want the 'lesser' members of your group touching it. While this may not be an issue to most pretentious people, the ones who do this tend to be extremely annoying to the people who cannot find the document.

4.Don't approach every idea like its brilliant.

5. Don't act like you're the boss of everyone. It tends to be exhausting for everyone around you.

6. And most important of all: have some humility. As your, for example, magazine layout may be beautiful, you don't have to put down others. Just because you like one particular thing does not mean your opinion and yours alone is right. Keep an open mind because other people can have good ideas too.

“I want to go there” 4 year old Liam Jessin said to his mom while watching a travel program on tv, in his hospital bed. Liam had been diagnosed with leukemia since he was 3 and has been stuck in a hospital bed for three years. "I couldnt tell him, he was too sick to travel" said Lydie (liam's mom) " so I promised him that we will travel everywhere, take a tour around the world."

In his hands is a Nikon, with a chipped body and orange wire showing in places. That camera has been with him for 700,000 shots. 700,000 moments that Woody Welch has captured forever in photos.


Even when he was fifteen, Woody Welch knew his dream. He wanted to be a photographer, an adventurer, to capture moments in time.


He's wearing a red bandana on his head, a Cesar Chavez shirt, and ripped jeans and leaning against his Prius. His bright blue eyes stare with optimism at the new studio he's opening, with blank walls, waiting to be filled with his photography.

Feature Leads

Michael Scaccia is welcomed by whistles and applause. He starts playing his bass to the approval of the audience which reminds him so much of the chatter of enthusiastic students.

To Michael Scaccia, the roar of an audience and the roar of a classroom are one and the same.

Featuring...

Michael Scaccia, a traveling musician and teacher whom many know as just Mr. Scaccia. He plays bass and plucks the heart strings of fanatic fans in his U2 cover band, Mysterious Ways, by night and teaches grammar and other boring things during the day. In a ten minute interview, 1306 words were swapped about the profound beauty which is being in a band, and in an hour and a half typing session, those words were documented. I (subject) present (predicate) to the world (noun), Michael Scaccia! (Direct object/proper noun)

More Miles, Less Cancer

My Feature story, More Miles, Less Cancer, is about Lydie Jessin's view about her around the world trip to raise cancer awareness. In 2006 we decided it was time to keep the promise we had made to liam, and travel around the world. After 2 years of preparation we sold our house and bought a 30 ft. motor home. our journey started in 2008, with a complete tour of north america, then headed south to every country in central america and south america except venezuela. After 12 months and 40,000 miles we sold the RV in paraguay and went backpacking in south africa where we cautiously petted lion. After a 15 hour flight to hong kong we backpacked all over china, where we had constant diarrhea for over a month due to eating china's wonderful variety of food, ranging from slugs on a stick to ox testicles. This story really gives the reader an image to picture while reading it, and shows the life you experience while around the world.

F8 And Be There

My feature article, titled "F8 and Be There" is focused around the photography career of Woody Welch. In the story he talks about his experiences as a photographer (working with a project on a ranch in New Mexico, documenting night sky movement, etc) and why his passion for photography is so important to him. You get to know a lot about his procedures when getting an assignment, his personal view of his photography style, and how his optimism allows him to be successful in an unreliable buisness.

Back to Brazil

My feature story, Back to Brazil, is about a man named Forest Novy and how going into the peace corp changed his life. After interviewing him I learned that he discovered his love of being a teacher after teaching physical education to the children of a leper colony. He shared many memorable experiences with me, and the time he spent in Brazil was different than anything else he had experienced. He learned about many things he never thought he would.

Do what? Wingsuit!

200 jumps. That's the minimum amount of jumps you have to make to be eligible to finally don a wingsuit and soar through the sky at speeds up to 140mph.
The wingsuit, a collaborative design from hundreds of people was started around 1930 and in 1999, a final standard wingsuit was made by Jari Kuosma of Finland and Robert Pecnik of Czech Republic with the goal to create a suit that is safe and accessible for all skydivers, but the path to the current wingsuit was not a happy trail. Between 1930 and 1961, 72 out of 75 birdmen died attempting to test their designs.

here are some pictures of people in wingsuits doing cool things people in wingsuits do:

See what? - 6 weird statues

1- Sky Pillar.

The 30ft statue, named Sky Pillar, has been built at Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun city. Builders wrapped more than 6,500ft of straw around the steel structure which stands on an altar atop 1,250ft high Qinlong Hill.

2- Shark Monument

The Shark became the most famous resident of Headington (Oxford, UK) when it landed in the roof of 2 New High Street on August 9, 1986. This ordinary home (built as a semi-detached house in about 1860 but now attached by a link to a second house to the north) suddenly became the centre of world attention, and the headless shark still excites interest today.

3- Upside-down Monument to La Trobe

This contemporary monument to Charles La Trobe in central Melbourne was removed at the end of June 2006 and has been acquired by La Trobe University.

4 - Magic tap

The "Magic tap" (found in "Aqualand" of Cadiz, Spain), appears to float in the sky with an endless supply of water. Actually, there is a pipe hidden in the stream of water that holds the whole structure.

5 - The Fremont troll

The Fremont troll has been lurking under the north end of the Aurora bridge since 1990. He was sculpted by four Seattle area artists — Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead — for the Fremont Arts Council. The head-and-shoulders sculpture is 18-ft. tall.

6 - Melting Cow 

Found in a square in Budapest.
