2008-02-24 Pass the Igunaq. -Thats rotten, frozen walrus to you-Food and Drink, Saturday Magazine
You see dog stew everywhere . Its called bosintang. When Seoul hosted the Olympics, the government removed all the rules governing dog farming so that it couldnt be said to be officially sanctioned. The living standards for most dogs plummeted. The Koreans are very sensitive about it; they hate being labelled dog-eaters even though they eat between one and three million a year.
The people are friendly, but they are not so much warm as very, very funny. They have a tight-knit society and they love taking the piss out of "southerners", which is what they call outsiders. If you are lucky, they might open some igunaq for you. Igunaq is fermented rotten frozen walrus. They bury these huge steaks in summer, when they start to rot, and they freeze in winter. You eat them a year later. It is a great honour to be given igunaq and ndash; it is very valuable and a delicacy. But, alas, I didnt like it. To me it just tasted like fermented, rotten, frozen walrus.

But during our interview, Carlyle could not be further removed from the figure of popular legend, the stone-faced psycho who never cracks a smile. Yes, he is wiry, passionate and intense: in order to add emphasis, at certain moments he leans forward and fixes his gaze upon yours. But Carlyle is also gifted with a keen sense of humour. He laughs, for instance, about how the hotel receptionist had earlier reprimanded him. "She was telling me off: Youve stayed here so often and have always been so friendly, I just cant accept you being bad on screen. What are you doing playing all these bad guys She almost made me stop playing baddies. "
Caught off camera - ROBERT Carlyle has starred in some of the biggest movies ever made. He was a Bond villain in The World Is Not Enough and the lead in one of the most successful Brit-coms of all time, The Full Monty. Yet when he walks down the street in Glasgow, no-one bats an eyelid. Which is just how he likes it.
2008-02-06 HotelChatter Putting The Hard Days Night Hotel into Liverpoolian Context
The citys most famous statue is the so-called Superlambbanana, which features a giant dog lifting his tail and some rather odd-shaped dogs business underneath. The area designated a UNESCO World Heritage site is actually the old, dirty docks from which the old, dirty ships (including slave ships) sailed.
The people are friendly and always up for a laugh (as long as you dont laugh at Liverpool United Football Club). But theyre called scousers after a particularly foul form of local meat stew known as lobscouse. The reviewers-that-havent-yet-reviewed the Hard Days Night hotel claim the two restaurants are superb. But in this context, be wary.

2008-01-26 ESPN-Scholz overcomes odds to set records at Loyola-College Sports
No other swimmer brings his dog to practice. Scholz brings his 2year-old yellow Labrador, Taxi, with him every day. They travel all over campus together -- because Scholz is blind and Taxi is his guide dog.
It started off with people seeing a blind guy with a dog," he said. "Now its a person who is followed around by a dog. "
College always was Scholzs ultimate goal, but he needed an accessible campus, a disability-friendly school and, most importantly, a place he could swim.

The hot-dog guys are friendly, which is more than I can say for the other New Yorkers I met. Everyone is so rushed in this city that they havent got time to be polite, and if you dont walk at a mile-crunching pace, you get shoved out of the way.
When I stepped off the plane in Honolulu and heard the usual cheesy greeting welcoming me to paradise, I thought, maybe it isnt so far off the mark. I cant imagine spending my whole life in a place unfriendly to children, and without quiet sunsets on the beach drinking champagne, and without equity. The class and race divisions in New York are as deep as the Hudson River, and a mistaken subway ride can land you within minutes on streets that are as dangerous as those in Baghdad.
