Chicago Bears Family Fun Night!

The Chicago Bears took the field last night with a vengeance at the 2007 Chicago Bears Family Fun Night! After not being back to Soldier Field since last year, seven months ago, when they won the NFC Conference game, arriving back last night brought back warm memories and feelings to the players and the fans. The night featured music, drinks, food, activities, a practice and scrimmage, as well as fireworks for the avid fans. The Bears sold out the event tickets, capping sales at a total of 40,000! The Bears' Marching Band gathered on the field to welcome back each of the players. Standing ovations and overwhelming applause was given to starters Brian Urlacher, Rex Grossman, Lance Briggs and Devin Hester. Runner-ups included Muhsin Muhammad, Peanut Tillman and Coach Lovie Smith. Fans were able to enjoy a two-hour practice and scrimmage. Moments such as Devin Hester returning a kick or Robbie Gould nailing a 50-yarder captured the crowd's attention, where they erupted into applause.
According to Devin Hester at ChicagoBears.com, "It's a great feeling. We couldn't do it without our fans. They come out each and every day and support us. The fans are the ones that motivate us the most." And as it should be. The fans are as Lovie Smith said: the 4th Phase. Without the fans, the team is lacking an integral part of the team.
The night ended with several interviews with Lovie Smith, Devin Hester and Bernard Berrian. Capping off the event was a spectacular fireworks show.
The Chicago Bears kick continue to practice at Olivet Nazarene University until the start of the season. To be up-to-date on the daily practices, check out the Training Camp blog at ChicagoBears.com/2007TrainingCamp_official.asp. The first preseason game begins this Saturday, August 11 at 7 p.m. The Bears will go up against the Houston Texans in Houston.

Gwen Stefani Abides By Malaysian Rules

In recent news, Gwen Stefani has agree to abide by Malaysian rules and refrain from wearing any revealing clothes at her upcoming concert on August 21 at Putra Indoor Stadium in hopes to not offend any members of the country. A conservative Muslim student group protested against Stefani's "saucy attire and bombshell image," according to Eonline.com.
According to a mobile cell phone company's general manager of media, Rozalita Abdul Rahman, "All foreign artistes [sic] need to undersatnd our culture and at hte same time, as for Malaysians, we also need to have an open mind on such matters."
The article also stated that according the the country's code of cultural ethics, "a female artist must be covered from the top of her chest to her knees; no jumping, shouting, hugging or kissing onstage; no clothing depicting offensive messages or images (such as drugs, sex, etc.); and no throwing things at the audience." In the past, a music promotor was fined for allowing the Pussycat Dolls onstage with explicit material deemed to be too "racy."

Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger Turns 60!

In honor of my study abroad trip to Austria, I want to wish Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger a very Happy Birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday to the Terminator himself! Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and Governor of California, turned the big 6-0 last week! In his honor, hometown Vienna, Austria, threw a party for him complete with homemade Austrine cuisine such as strudels, schnitzels and a gift -- the original street number from the house where he was born, Thal 145. According to an article at www.mercurynews.com, officials proclaimed the day to be " A Day for Arnold." His birthplace is technically a southern village in Thal Bei Graz. The party featured a brass band, a priest and 59 people. In an interview with a local Vienna newspaper, Schwarzeneggr said he had one simple birthday wish -- a wish from a Governor's perspective: that the United States (his now adopted country) would recover its international prestige.
He was quoted in an interview in Sacramento saying "My wish is that this great country once again gets the reputation it once had around the world."
