Bullet in the Head
Amazing and shocking footage from a group of Turkish journalists covering the conflict between Georgia and Russia. One reporter took a bullet to the head. Simply astonishing that no one else was injured. This makes my time in behind the pen seem like a cakewalk. (via gruber)
This reporter was also very fortunate.

How to Engage Beautiful Women
(In TEN easy steps.)
1. Pick one you like.
2. Pick somewhere with stunning scenery, in this case, Vermilion Falls.
3. Ask her dad, both for permission and assistance.
4. Appear inclined, but not too excited, to go to the aforementioned location on a beautiful Saturday afternoon — when really, you could be on the lake — because her dad wants to "take a family Christmas picture."
5. Laugh inside because NO ONE in the family wants to go.
6. Hide the ring in your camera bag.
7. Steal her away for some alone time. Appear inclined, but not too excited, to take "smoochy pictures."
8. Hope that she hasn't broken her toe climbing down the rocky hill to the bottom of the Falls.
9. Say the four magic words. Struggle to get ring out of camera bag.
10. Laugh, cry and take a picture to commemorate.
