Sleeping with Cannibals
Our intrepid reporter gets up close and personal with New Guinea natives who say they still eat their fellow tribesmen.

My three days with the clan pass swiftly. When I feel they trust me, I ask when they last killed a khakhua. Lepeadon says it was near the time of the last sago palm feast, when several hundred Korowai gathered to dance, eat vast quantities of sago palm maggots, trade goods, chant fertility songs and let the marriage-age youngsters eye one another. According to our porters, that dates the killing to just over a year ago.
Lepeadon tells Boas he wants me to stay longer, but I have to return to Yaniruma to meet the Twin Otter. As we board the pirogue, the fierce man squats by the riverside but refuses to look at me. When the boatmen push away, he leaps up, scowls, thrusts a cassowary-bone arrow across his bow, yanks on the rattan string and aims at me. After a few moments, he smiles and lowers the bow—a fierce man's way of saying goodbye.
In midafternoon, the boatmen steer the pirogue to the edge of a swamp forest and tie it to a tree trunk. Boas leaps out and leads the way, setting a brisk pace. After an hour's trek, I reach a clearing about the size of two football fields and planted with banana trees. Dominating it is a treehouse that soars about 75 feet into the sky. Its springy floor rests on several natural columns, tall trees cut off at the point where branches once flared out.
Boas is waiting for us. Next to him stands his father, Khanduop, a middle-aged man clad in rattan strips about his waist and a leaf covering part of his penis. He grabs my hand and thanks me for bringing his son home. He has killed a large pig for the occasion, and Bailom, with what seems to me to be superhuman strength, carries it on his back up a notched pole into the treehouse. Inside, every nook and cranny is crammed with bones from previous feasts—spiky fish skeletons, blockbuster pig jaws, the skulls of flying foxes and rats. The bones dangle even from hooks strung along the ceiling, near bundles of many-colored parrot and cassowary feathers. The Korowai believe that the décor signals hospitality and prosperity.
I meet Yakor, a tall, kindly eyed tribesman from a treehouse upriver, who squats by the fire with Khanduop, Bailom and Kilikili. Boas' mother is dead, and Khanduop, a fierce man, has married Yakor's sister. When the talk turns to khakhua meals they have enjoyed, Khanduop's eyes light up. He's dined on many khakhua, he says, and the taste is the most delicious of any creature he's ever eaten.
The next morning the porters depart for the river, carrying our remaining supplies. But before I leave, Khanduop wants to talk; his son and Kembaren translate. "Boas has told me he'll live in Yaniruma with his brother, coming back just for visits," he murmurs. Khanduop's gaze clouds. "The time of the true Korowai is coming to an end, and that makes me very sad."
Boas gives his father a wan smile and walks with me to the pirogue for the two-hour journey to Yaniruma, wearing his yellow bonnet as if it were a visa for the 21st century.
Three years earlier I had visited the Korubo, an isolated indigenous tribe in the Amazon, together with Sydney Possuelo, then director of Brazil's Department for Isolated Indians [SMITHSONIAN, April 2005]. This question of what to do with such peoples—whether to yank them into the present or leave them untouched in their jungles and traditions—had troubled Possuelo for decades. "I believe we should let them live in their own special worlds," he told me, "because once they go downriver to the settlements and see what is to them the wonders and magic of our lives, they never go back to live in a traditional way."
So it is with the Korowai. They have at most a generation left in their traditional culture—one that includes practices that admittedly strike us as abhorrent. Year by year the young men and women will drift to Yaniruma and other settlements until only aging clan members are left in the treehouses. And at that point Ginol's godly prophecy will reach its apocalyptic fulfillment, and thunder and earthquakes of a kind will destroy the old Korowai world forever.

I love the prankster spirit of these people. (Or at least what I've heard about them.) Pretending to be cannibals around the ignorant white reporter is priceless.

I read this article, more than six years after it was first published. I wonder what changes (if any) have occurred in the Korowai lifestyle during the intervening period. My emotions are mixed about the author. Mr. Rafaele seems to lament the coming demise of this people's way of life, yet his own determination to go deep into their lands and reach a group which supposedly has never met a white person is the very catalyst to begin this process of cultural change....

Jonathan Kua, When Christ stated that we must eat of His body, and drink of His blood, but even though there is debate among different christian faiths regarding this, most, believe the try;th that Jesus was being figurative or at least meaning this discourse in a figurative sense; that much is obvious even to most casual readers. However, even those who are in error, believing they are actually eating and drinking Jesus' body and blood believe that the elements are changed supernaturally in a way that does not impart the sin of Cannibalism to them. Even if it were a cannibalistic act, which it is not, the command was regarding Christ alone; elsewhere believes are figuratively, and by implication litterally, warned against biting and devouring one another with covetousness. You are intentionally misrepresenting Christianity by using rhetoric to justify the sin and covetousness of both these people and yourself ; and you know it.

This is sensational and exaggerated. It is not accurate. The author makes wild claims. Many people from other parts of Papua (formerly Irian Jaya and not PNG) and foreign people have been to the Korowai. I was in this area three years ago.

I am from West Papua, born and raised.
pateriot comments are good. Many times westerners moan about dying cultures and not changing them - so that we can remain museum curios? Years ago I was hunting with a village elder and he said to me, "Do the white people want us to stay the same forever? Do they think we are pigs to be left in the dirt? Why can we not want to have a better life? Without war? With medicine? Do they want to keep that all for themselves? Or do they want to keep us down so they can take our wealth for themselves."
Answer that all you who never want us to change. I mourn the loss of my culture. Many of my children are forgetting their ways and language. But only a fool wishes for the old days in which we constantly warred, suffered. Where a simple cut could mean death. Really? Thats wonderful? If you like it so much why do you make laws to protect people?
My people also ate others. But even amongst us there we others who said, "it is wrong to eat human flesh. They are our brothers."
It is funny that westerners have changed much over the centuries and still change. That is ok. But the naked black man in New Guinea? No, he must never change.
Yet it is good too to see people looking at my land and caring. Thank you

For the ignorant American Paul, it is NOT Indonesian PNG, the country is correctly named Aryan Jaya. It is like calling Tibet, China! And FYI, the world's largest island is actually Australia, as technically it IS an island.

Whoever you are an anthropologist or whatever your field is, did you really find out why these people whom you so called westerners, civilized, breed of high intellegence etc etc find out why they practised canabalism? Were they looking for protein? Why they were so much food supply especially meat, wild pigs, snakes, fish, wallabies etc and yet they perfer to kill someone for human flesh? Was it a daily slaughtering as you would do it in your farms? Common, give us a break? When Jesus teaches that " If you do not eat my body and blood, you will have life," and his disciples in their secret house church celeberate holy communion, they were accused of being canibals, so you say you people from west do not have practiced such now you called it deplorable act? Give us a break. The practise is attached to religion and traditional belief systems. Work it out.
Posted by Jonathan Kua on June 10,2011 | 09:16 AM
Quite thrilling and enlightening story. Manu cultures have come and gone, but contact with "civilization" has brought more pain than gain to countless "primitive" peoples - American Indians, Australian Aborigines, and many many more to a lesser extent.
While you smugly bask in the glory for bringing Korowai culture to the "world", your visit is an additional nail in their culture's coffin.

To Hildegarde, how can you be so judgmental? And, how can you be so stupid at the same time? Poligamy = murder and cannibalism??? First of all, in Poligamy, the people are married. That is all God requires. Was Abraham evil for having more than one wife? No...Fact is, the New Testament says for a bishop to have only one wife. Doesn't that suggest that the other disciples, Christians, can have 2 or more wives? Of course!!! But, trying to equate murder and cannibalsim with poligamy, stupid. War is not a crime in and of itself. Standing around and letting millions of people die would have been a crime and evil concerning the Jews. Stop with your judgmental attitudes...

Many comments here focus largely on the Korowai cannibalistic culture. This article has so much more to tell, and I personally think it is an absolutely enticing and somewhat thrilling account of the diversities that remain within a world obsessed with modernities of the 21st century. These people are rooted to the core in historical beliefs, traditions and practices, and I hope these reach many future generations of Korowai. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing it.
Posted by Emma on February 9,2011 | 12:02 PM
The bit about Michael Rockefeller going missing near cannibalistic tribes is very misleading.He swam off in a river and didn't return...he either drowned or fell victim to a crocodile.Evidence for him being cannibalized was found to be circumstantial.

Fascinating article. Paul Raffaele is amazingly brave.
Posted by Anon on January 26,2011 | 03:18 AM
Well, as Christians, you are very judgemental and your reporting is also a reflection of your judgemental state of mind.
ALL nations and cultures have had certain practices in their past lives, and some even still exist today, but no-one is reporting in a biased manner about those practices and rituals. Yes, it is sad that some tribes are practicing cannabalism. But how does that differ from for example polygamy? Polygamy is also wrong. I think, as Christians, we should be tolerable towards other cultures and their rituals. Once the people of such tribes decides on their own to become Christians, then one can only teach them to stop cannabalism.
What about all the war and famine resulting from it? Christians are easily ready to judge and make war, but does not see that as a crime? Really, change your mindset!
Let them be, the world needs mysteries. The world needs people who are brave enough to preserve their cultures, rites and rituals, and their government should do everything in their power to preserve it.

I find this very fascinating, and I hope they continue there ways. there cannibalism is fine, since its there way of life. It may not fit our way of life, but we kill non the less and have some cannibals in our society. At least there society is natural, and not artificial. In some ways I feel the grass is much greener on there side then on our side. Maybe someday I will visit there.

I grew up amongst the Kuka Kuka warriors of the Eastern Highlands District of Papua New Guinea in the 1960's. My parents were medical missionaries from the USA. In the early 60's the natives advised us that the only white man that they ate was a French missionary and he tasted like rotten milk. They preferred the flavor of their own. We were happy to let them know that we all tasted "rotten.

I throughly enjoyed this article and the people should be left alone to live there life the way they see it. The problem with the world today is that we poke our noses where they don't belong and are not wanted. Then we wonder why they hate us. God made us all different and we should just accept it.
Posted by Sharon on May 17,2010 | 03:49 PM
let them do their thing. if you don't like cannibalism, don't live there. if they want to learn about the modern world, let them. who are we to control the lives of others? we may not like they way they live, but they probably don't like the way we live either. who are we to say that our way is the right way? if you are criticizing the cannibals, you need to grow up.

This is horrible something must be done to save the lives of the people who are affected most by their cannibalism act.

Thank you for the story, it was absolutely reviting!! The loss of a culture to history is always very sad. We have no knowledge of the vast majority of cultures that have existed in the past. It has only been since the advent of writing that mankind has been able to document cultures and pass this knowledge down to us to any appreciable degree. We attempt to glean more through archeological means but truly only ever get a bare shadow of how life was and the people that lived. Although the loss of primitive cultures now are more significant because they are becoming increasingly rare, we are at the same time better able to document them and preserve their knowledge for posterity.
We wish to save these cultures in their primitive forms for our own benefits more then the benefits the people involved. We wish to keep them like a living museum or human zoo. The societies tend to be violent and butal with very high mortality rates. In this case the savagery even involves cannabalism. As the author rightly points out, many of the youth voluntarily leave for more civilized areas were they can find a better life. Should we allow these societies to fade away and disappear? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding yes! This is not to say that we should allow the culture to be lost forever. Every effort should be made to document the primitive cultures and societies before they are gone for good.
Someday perhaps my Grandson and the Grandson of a member of a native primitive tribe in New Guinea can sit across from each other while enjoying a good cup of coffee and cheap cigar. Both, happy with were they are in life and knowing were they came from!

It is a wondeful work done by Mr.Raffaele .It is really amazing to know that cannibalism is still followed in this world.The narration gives a clear picture about the true lifestyle of Cannibals and also it brings out their values for life,culture and tradition.The narration made me feel that i am one among the travellers and i had the thrilling experience of being into a rainy dense forest.Through this article it has come to limelight that eventhough the world is taken over by advanced civilizations and modern practices there are people who live far enough not to have an impact of these developments..."THREE CHEERS" to the brave author for giving us a valuable note on our fellowmen who resembles us in physique but are still with the stone age culture,character and tradition!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Thangalakshmi Ramakrishnan on February 27,2009 | 04:54 PM
Mr.Raffaele is a person with alot of courage. this article is an inspiration to me,as i do believe in cannibalism. in my country India, i have seen a group of holymen feeding on corpses.it is their believe by doing so they become ageless. in near future i would like to meet other tribes who do practice cannibalism.

Mr. Raffaele is far braver than anyone I know. I hope he is able to recuperate fully and can write many more interesting stories.
Posted by Colette Shannon on July 16,2008 | 03:29 AM
It is truly amazing to read of such an interesting insight of a culture far away from modern day civilization. No matter what their value systems are, it is definitely praiseworthy to note that not everyone is trying to ape the world in terms of being attracted to all its gadgets, gizmos and beliefs. And last but not the least, kudos to such a brave author for allowing us to have a peek at something like this.

Cannibalism is one of the worst crimes that can be committed towards a human being. Although this story is highly interesting, we can see that these people do not believe they are killing humans but another creature. It is for the benefit of all humans that this way of life becomes history, and i hope it will.
Posted by jamilah on June 2,2008 | 07:02 AM
I wish these indigenous people could be taught the error of cannibalism while retaining the other wonderful aspects of their culture. I can never believe that cannibalism is acceptable anywhere in the world, in any people group, at any time. I think that the practice should be stopped.

Posted by Kalki French on April 23,2008 | 07:17 AM
What a truly facsinating and factual read!It is sad to think that there way of life could very easily be destroyed and become part of history. However fascinating they could be and however many treasures we could find amongst tribes like the Korowai do we ever stop to think that we could be doing more harm than good by disturbing them and wanting more!
Posted by Jo on March 26,2008 | 08:37 PM
Such is the way of life. It fiercely perpetuates itself, only to be vanquished by time. Mr. Raffaele, I enjoyed your article and photography. Thank you for making me 'feel' the presence of your experience. Sounds like a 'one in a lifetime offer'. Thank you Smithsonian!
Posted by Ife (ee-faye) on March 25,2008 | 10:51 PM
It pains me to here of another people who are going to loose their way of life. Hopefully at least the elders in the tribe will be dead and gone before civilization destroys their world. What a sad situation !
Posted by DENISE on February 11,2008 | 11:30 AM
This is very interesting, and exciting! Is it possible to contact the author, Paul Raffaele, to ask some further questions? I would like to write my anthropology paper on cannibalism that is still being practiced and this tribe really speaks to me. Thanks for a true report on the subject without unneccesary disgust or jugement. Holly

"The Free Papua Movement (OPM) is widely believed to be the core of opposition to the Indonesian Government in West Irian. But it is difficult to track down the OPM as an organization, although not because its security is tight or people unwilling to talk. On the contrary, everyone talks about the OPM; it has few, if any, secrets, and many Irianese proudly proclaim they are "members" of the OPM. A foreigner travelling in West Irian has no difficulty in contacting anti-government activists. They stop you on the street and groups of them gather around when you visit a native village; in short, no one is reluctant to discuss the OPM and their reasons for disliking Indonesians." "The OPM, however, does represent an amorphous mass of anti-Indonesia sentiment. Card-carrying members of the OPM as such must be few, although partisans claim that it has anywhere from 1500 to 5000, oe even 500,000 members." "Regarding the magnitude of the opposition to Indonesian rule, probably a decided majority of the Irianese people, and possibly 85 to 90 percent, are in sympathy with the Free Papua cause or at least intensely dislike Indonesians." - U.S. Ambassador Francis Galbraith 1969.

To not come to the United States.
They keep on firing the starters pistol for aspiring illegal aliens around the world because there's no negative consequence.

Free Spirit Is by far my favorite band involved in RBN. Their songs are some of the most fun to play over any on RB3. In fact, only "Foolin" has more plays than "Cry of an Eagle" on my xbox. Congrats to Free Spirit! I hope this will bring the release of their second album now in the works.
It's only oversaturation if you have to switch discs.
Where's.. Tesla, Zeppelin, Gallagher, Floyd?
#1 Free Spirit fan!
XBL- ECOJIG DOT COM 1580 tx
1. Thank you, bj, for recommending Free Spirit to me way back in the day. Bought their album, been listening to it since then, and bought all the "available" tracks on PS3.
2. You are a spoiled brat! You and your damn 360, with 8 Free Spirit songs instead of 3 and a half.....
3. They are my favorite RBN artist as well, without a doubt.
4. Their songs are some of the most fun to play in RB3, without a doubt. Totally agree with you.
5. If you get a chance, check out the band called "91 Suite".
"It's a crazy world we live in, and I'm leaving it today." -- Ronnie James Dio.
Well deserved. I've been excpecting for Free Spirit to get this honor. I hope this means a week with more than one song from them (or several consecutive weeks with one song).
DLC Wishlist:
[ ] More Disturbed
[ ] More Coheed & Cambria
[X] More Breaking Benjamin - Nov. 1st 2011
I'm still waiting for "The Stranger" to come out, which is slowly becoming my favorite.
<Insert request for more Boston here>
PSN: Bront20
DLC: lots+RB1+LRB+RB2+ACDC+GDRB (+ RB3)
Yay Free Spirit! Definately one of my very favourite bands on the RBN - love all their songs!
RBN is the greatest invention known to man! (Aside from RB3)

Michigan people '96 with just under 140k on it. It's been pretty good car but not lately. Thing that bothers me the most about it is the wonderful 3 speed auto. Like seriously? Wtf was GM thinking? The car can't get out of its own way. So, I have a car that is becoming unreliable and a car with a blown motor. FML right? Question. Rebuild the SVT and deal with the sunfire(and it's increasing issues) till next fall, or pay off SVT(have it sit longer with blown motor) and buy newer car. Use money from Pontiac and then save more money to rebuild focus....I have some serious decisions to make in the next couple months. I guess I could do a "cheap rebuild" and just put OEM pistons/parts etc back in it. Then build motor AND turbo at the same time. |

The postapocalyptic future is looking pretty good. From the moment you step out under the brilliant, cloud-studded sky of a ruined world, Rage proclaims its artistic prowess. As you drive along dirt roads through narrow canyons among the hardscrabble outposts of civilization, every environmental element pops with thoughtful details. As you converse with the people you meet, their expressive faces and believable dialogue make you eager to hear what they say next. This is an attractive world that makes you excited to go exploring, but there is disappointingly little to find off the beaten path. The richness of Rage makes you wish it were even richer, and you may also find yourself wishing for a better story, more robust ways to enjoy this world with friends, and, above all, better technical execution. There are numerous visual problems that crop up with various video cards, and the texture detail is disappointingly inconsistent. Though Rage still offers an exciting and rewarding adventure, the PC is not the best platform on which to enjoy it.

The early hours of Rage's PC launch were plagued with problems, and many still linger as of this writing. Nvidia cards are still prone to screen tearing, while AMD cards see issues with freezing and wonky character animations. You need to do some research to determine the best drivers for your system, and even then, you may be stuck suffering through some glitches. There aren't a lot of graphics settings to tweak here, and even on high settings, Rage is inconsistent. Some textures look stunning, while others are blurry and mundane upon closer inspection. These technical shortcomings make the PC version inferior to its console counterparts, but the excellent artistic design still shines through, making Rage an attractive and enticing game.
Having slept snugly through an extinction-level event in a sealed government refuge, you awaken to find that your fellow sleepers were not so lucky. Alone and unsure, you step out into the world, encounter some savage locals, and end up indebted to a local sharpshooter. He explains that survivors like you haven't been seen in a long time, and proceeds to ask you for a favor. Thus begins your journey of helping out the friendly folks of the Wasteland with your natural affinity for driving, collecting, and killing. Each new person you meet is a delight, thanks to stylish character design, expressive animation, and great voice acting. It's a pleasure to visit the local bar where the freckled proprietor pays you a regular bounty and the garish dealer entices you to play another round of a collectible card game. This is a world where a sweet young lady teaches you about a flying implement of decapitation, and the puffed-up mayor sends you on a delivery run to a hand-wringing doctor and his possibly sentient mechanical familiar. Rage's characters are so charismatic that you'll likely be disappointed when your conversations end and will be eagerly anticipating the next interaction.
The towns and settlements where you find these folks are richly detailed and beg to be explored. Observant players are rewarded with a raft of thoughtful artistic touches, including some cute references to certain iconic video games. As you travel outside these havens and around the spacious environs, you encounter the skeletal remains of freeways and industrial complexes set amidst striking sandstone cliffs and scrubby vegetation. While the large scenery usually looks fantastic, many smaller elements lack detail, which can create an unpleasant contrast when you are taking in the sights. Despite the inconsistent textures, Rage still makes you want to stop and gawk at the world around you, and the mercenary path you take gives you plenty of opportunities to do so. Your core missions eventually take a more purposeful path, but Rage does a poor job of drawing you into this crusade, so your quest to ensure a better future for humankind never feels more urgent than your task to bring a boozehound his missing moonshine. It's a shame that the game doesn't leverage its enticing world to create a stronger, more compelling adventure, but it's still fun to explore and inhabit the Wasteland.
You have razor blades on your knuckles, he has a tire around his neck. Fashion is different in the future.
Not all Wasteland inhabitants are friendly, however. Packs of bandits have taken up residence in their own little communities, and each group has its own look, combat tactics, and interior decorations. Keeping an eye out in these dens not only gives you a sense of how your enemies live, but can also yield ammunition, guns, collectible cards, and a wealth of detritus that can be sold or used to build helpful items from schematics you acquire. A timely bandage or health boost can toughen you up for a challenging fight, while a bladed wingstick or spidery robotic ally can add crucial firepower to your cause. Your bandit enemies shoot accurately and use cover, while your mutant enemies just run headlong toward you, albeit with some surprising evasive maneuvers. Despite the health items, replenishing health, and rechargeable defibrillation power at your disposal, you can die if you aren't careful. Still, Rage isn't a very difficult game, and you may have to increase the difficulty level in order to feel the threat of death looming over you.

* This year I am improving upon my health by cutting gluten and dairy out of my diet.
*I am adding an hour walk for me and sharkpig to my daily fitness routine
*I promise myself to go surfing whenever the conditions are good and not let swells pass by with getting on my board.

* I am in a lululemon add on the back cover of yoga journal ;)
* In my personal life I am working on communication & ways to better express myself this year. As I learn to express myself creatively and verbally, I hope to draw the same qualities of open honest communication and self expression out in others.

It is fitting that the 2010/2011 Premiership season has been one of the most intriguing yet.
While the league's unpredictability has left many a frustrated punter tearing up their accumulator betting-slip in disgust as another unexpected result robs them of that elusive fortune they so desperately seek, this season has been a journalist's dream.
Chelsea stole all the headlines at the beginning of the season as they bulldozed their way through the Premier league in such a flamboyant style that it seemed a foregone conclusion that they would be crowned champions again. Yet, such is the nature of this season, that their blip became a slump, which in turn became a crisis and now they are making headlines for their lacklustre performances and self-implosion.
Ian Holloway and his Blackpool side have also been a revelation and quite rightly – if completely unexpectedly – have seen substantial column inches so far. They were written off as the league's whipping boys before a ball had been kicked, but have shown such passion, team-work and commitment to the cause they have restored the faith of those cynics who thought there was no heart left in the Premiership.
Another highlight for journalists – if for no one else – was Wayne Rooney's declaration that he wanted to leave the country's biggest club because it lacks ambition, only to do a dramatic u-turn after the old master Sir Alex Ferguson gave an Oscar worthy performance as the tearful, dumfounded and betrayed father. That memorable press conference depicted Ferguson as victim and Rooney as the greedy, ungrateful and petulant son and left the latter knowing if he left United his reputation – which had already seriously damaged during the summer– would be tarnished forever.
The saga – which was closely followed by the eerily similar Carlos Tevez affair – also showed how ugly football had got, how obsessed with money players were and how powerful agents had become. Thus, further cementing Blackpool as everyone's secret favourite club – one where football matters reigned supreme above all else and expensive cars, expensive houses and beautiful houses were an afterthought.
Alongside all this is an incredibly close league (five points separates West Ham at the foot of the table and Everton in 11th place, and table toppers Manchester United and fifth place Tottenham are also separated by the same margin) where no one team is considerably worse or better than everyone else. So it's all very exciting and pundits and punters alike are being made to look very foolish as they try and second guess what is going to happen next.
In recent weeks everyone has had their say on the team of the year so far, and below you can find my humble opinions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I thought The Guardian's team, which was based on statistics, only showed that stats only tell you half the story.
(Important to note that this is a TEAM of the year, so in a proper formation with an eye to how they would operate if they actually took to the field)
Goalkeeper: Pep Reina
No one keeper has been head and shoulders above the rest this season which has made picking a keeper extremely hard. While Gomez and Fabianski have battled it out for the title of worst keeper in the league, everyone else has been fairly reliable and consistent. Thus, I've picked Reina because during all the turmoil at Anfield this season and with a new centre-back pairing nearly every week he has marshalled a poor Liverpool defence well.
Left back: Assou-Ekotto
While Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra have performed well all season, I have chosen Tottenham's left back ahead of them because he has emerged as a reliable defender having always been fairly handy going forward. Moreover, he shuns the celebrity life-style and does a lot of work for charity and so I have the utmost respect for him too.
Centre backs: Nemanja Vidic and Gary Cahill
Vidic has once again been exceptional and is flourishing as United's captain. He leads by example and rarely makes mistakes. Sir Alex will be delighted that he managed to convince the giant Serbian to stay at Old Trafford rather than go to Real Madrid.
Cahill may not be everyone's cup of tea, but his solid performances at the back have helped Bolton reach sixth place in the league. Thus, it is unsurprising to see that he has been linked with big money moves to Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks because his performances have warranted such speculation.
Right back: Rafael
The young Brazilian, like Assou-Ekotto, has really improved defensively this year and although he is still gets exposed every so often he is quickly becoming a permanent fixture in United's defence.
Left mid: Gareth Bale
The Welsh wizard has been in sensational form for Tottenham this season since moving to the wing, which is because Assou-Ekotto has emerged a reliable fullback. With such blistering pace Bale at times is unstoppable, but crucially he (unlike Aaron Lennon on the opposite flank) consistently delivers an end product.
Centre-Mid: Scott Parker and Paul Scholes
Without Parker West Ham would have no chance of avoiding relegation. He is the heartbeat of that team and epitomises everything that England's World Cup flops lacked: energy, passion, bravery and determination.
Next to him I've opted for the old master Scholes who provides the vital balance and anchorage for my highly attacking team – as well as an experienced head in times of trouble.
Right mid: Samir Nasri
The Frenchman has flourished in the absence of Cesc Fabregras and his excellent control, quick feet and eye for goal have made him a pivotal point of Arsene Wenger's side. He is just as effective coming of the wing as he is in the middle of the park and is player who can win you a game with a piece of magic.
In-the-hole: Rafael Van der Vaart
Harry Redknapp must have got Daniel Levy one hell of a Christmas present because Levy got Redknapp the best gift of them: Van der Vaart. The little Dutchman has that ability to find space between the opposition's midfield and defence and is quality in the final third is undoubted. Not only does he create chances but he has a real eye for goal and at £8m he has been the signing of the season.
Striker: Andy Carroll
Newcastle's No.9 is having a fantastic campaign and his no nonsense approach to the game is infectious and he has quickly become a real favourite amongst the Toon. He might be a bit rough around the edges, but he puts himself about, works for the team and no centre-back likes playing against him. With 11 goals so far he also knows how to find the back of the net.
Bench: (players who just missed out but have been very impressive so far)
Joe Hart, Ryan Shawcross, Tim Cahill, Luka Modric, Leigton Bains, Darren Bent, Stuart Holden
Disagree? Have I missed someone out? Have you say below.

Franchises Age, But Their Stars Stay Forever Young : NPR
The Bourne Legacy is the latest movie to recast a main character in order to continue the franchise. But from Bond to Bewitched, Batman to Dumbledore, Hollywood has never been afraid to dump old stars and seek fresh blood for the sake of a character's longevity.

The Incomparable #82: Apocalypse Book Club
It's the end of the world! And since our eyeglasses are intact, we have time enough at last, to read. We discuss Maureen McHugh's "After the Apocalypse" short-story collection, Cormac McCarthy's "The Road," and other apocalypse tales we have known. Do zombies have their own David Attenborough, leading expeditions into Cleveland? Why should you be afraid if heavy snowfall combines with the appearance of strange invisible magic ghost sex-dragon monsters? And why does John Siracusa plan to ride out the apocalypse in style? We ask several of these questions, but you'll have to listen to see if we ever answer any of them.

Aspect Radio #48: COWBOYS & ALIENS, Trailer Talk, Top 5 Alien Invasion Movies
Corey and guest host Phil Owen take on the latest in cowboys fighting aliens movies, ahem, "Cowboys & Aliens," director Jon Favreau's big budget adaptation of the lesser known graphic novel.
While the film looks great and is packed with star power and special effects, it just doesn't seem to deliver on its promising concept of mixing the two beloved genres of westerns and science fiction.
Also on tap are new trailers for Peter Berg's board game adaptation "Battleship" and producer/co-writer George Lucas' Tuskegee Airmen adventure "Red Tails."
Finally, the guys unveil their top five alien invasion movies, which include "Independence Day," "Mars Attacks!" "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and John Carpenter's "The Thing."
Matthew Baldwin: Autism In TV And Movies
One of the pleasures of watching movies and television is finding characters you recognize from your own life. Matthew Baldwin is a Seattle–based writer, and he spent a long time looking for a specific kind of character — someone with autism. That's because his son was diagnosed with autism in 2006 at the age of two, and back then Matthew only knew about one portrayal of autism in media: Rain Man. Matthew tells KUOW's Jeannie Yandel about two other characters he was happy to discover recently; Abed from the NBC sitcom "Community" and Spock from the 2009 Star Trek reboot.
Audio Interview With Visual Effects Master Douglas Trumbull ~ Criticize This!
Brilliant visual effects master Douglas Trumbull got his start at a young age working on Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Although he was only in his early 20s during production of 2001, his contribution of figuring out a way to film the now-famous "Stargate Sequence" changed the special effects industry drastically and made films like Star Wars possible (Trumbull himself was asked to work on Star Wars but turned it down due to other projects at the time).
After 2001 wrapped, Trumbull went on to direct his own films, including Silent Running (1972) and Brainstrom (1983), as well as working on the visual effects for The Andromeda Strain (1971), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), and Blade Runner (1982). He also designed the Back to the Future Ride at Universal Studios during the 80s, and has been a leader in creating special effects technology.

Gurus & Moderators & Mentors, can you please help to know the way to submit the written article
Regards & Thanks
Alvaro, do you know what's the best way to submit any modifications to an existing article? I have an article that I'd like to add some info to, but don't want to screw up and make it look like it's a whole new article.
Hello Ludek,
To submit an update to an article, follow the same steps as submitting an article the first time, but be sure to put into the comments that this is an update to an existing article. If you have the link for the original article as published on SCN, please include that as well.
