Rooney doubt for start of season replied by omgukilledkenny @ Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:46:45 +0800

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney is unlikely to be fit for the start of the season after contracting a virus on the pre-season trip to Nigeria. United played four friendlies, including one against Community Shield opponents Portsmouth, on the tour but it now looks to have cost them the services of their leading striker. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports News: "I doubt we'll get Rooney fit for the start of the season with the virus he's had. "It's a virus he picked up in Nigeria and it's...

Fergie: Campbell staying put replied by omgukilledkenny @ Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:58:44 +0800

Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester United striker Fraizer Campbell will not be loaned out to Hull this season. Campbell played a key role in Hull’s promotion to the top-flight and Tigers boss Phil Brown hoped he would be able to count on his services again. The youngster showed his predatory instincts with the winner in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s testimonial at Old Trafford on Saturday. "Fraizer's future is here," Ferguson said. "We do not have any strikers apart from Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tev...

Held Suspect

I don't remember how old I was the first time it happened. I couldn't have been more than ten years old. We were in Philadelphia - my mother, my younger sister, and I - visiting my great grandfather on my mother's side of the family. For my sister and me, it was our first time traveling that far from home, and our first time in a city like Philadelphia. Everything amazed us, from the size of the buildings, downtown to the narrow little houses on my great great-grandfather's street, with no yards...

Dye wool yarn with food coloring

Filed under: kids, knitting and crochet When I was a youngster, I remember days where I was bored beyond measure. I would listen to the click-clack of my Mother's knitting needles as she would tell me stories of her youth in Germany, while I would unravel the ball of yarn for her. Most kids won't sit long enough to help with mundane tasks, but I bet you could get yours to sit still on a rainy day if you ask them to help you dye yarn with food coloring. Suse of Pea Soup has a tutorial showing off...

Elementary Garden Tool and Cleaning Sets

While I've put this post in the category of toys, some of you might just see through my labeling guise. I mean, come on. Admit it. At one time or another, you noticed that your youngster took an interest in your cleaning. If you're at all like me, you capitalized on it and enlisted him in cleaning house more than once. (Thanks to my son, our coffee table darned near sparkles). It looks like the gang over at For Small Hands is onto something that could have our abodes looking like something out ...

Off Tpoic: Olahraga Gado-Gado, Take 2!!

This is slightly off topic, but never mind! When I first started my research on Indonesian blogs, I came across the Blog Jalan Sutera, authored by Mas Pujiono. I started reading it from time to time and found an entry from November 12th, about 'Olahraga Gado-Gado'. What Puji was talking about is the new mixed-sport discipline called chessboxing. Well now the funny part is, that chessboxing was invented in Berlin, which happens to be my hometown at the moment. And the guy who invented it, Iepe Ru...

Market Report: Challenged

Seattle’s University District Farmers’ Market is 15 years old this summer! Sure, it’s a youngster compared to Pike Place, the Seattle market that everyone knows, but the U-District market is much more a true local food scene than the decidedly touristy, and much more famous, downtown market. Today the U-District market held its official 15th [...]

A Quibble-less Quebec Quickie

Putumayo Presents Quebec (Putumayo PUTU 279, 2008) I visited Quebec several times as a youngster with my Canadian father, and despite my tender years was aware of the province’s strong French heritage. While that heritage deeply permeates many a moment on this compilation, there are other forces at work. (And being entirely unfamiliar with 8 of the 11 artists featured here and only slightly acquainted with the others, I wasn’t burdened by preconceived notions.) Mathieu Mathieu’s opening â€...
