Chidester taught English reading, writing and speaking to disadvantaged Vietnamese youth in ninth grade.

Peacework helped make this trip possible for Chidester and three other Tech soccer players. Juicy Couture Clothing Now Chidester is volunteering with Peacework to coordinate the Tech Bookstore Walk to READ.

Chidester's roommate, Megan Strawther, also a Tech soccer player, will volunteer for a Peacework Coach for College project in Vietnam this summer.

Foulmouth Gordon's cooked his

THERE was a time when Gordon Ramsay's swaggering cheek was mildly amusing.

The former footballer with the potty mouth had a certain rough charm about him, helped by a gorgeous wife, lovely kids and a magic way with truffle oil.

But like everyone else I know, I'm over Gordon Ramsay. I am tired of his constant effing and blinding. I am fed-up with his bully-boy business management style.

I am disgusted by the way he treated his wife Tana by allegedly having a seven-year affair with a sex writer. But most of all, I loathe the way he treats women.

Turns out Ramsay's brand of chirpy chauvin-isis in fact full- blown misogyny. The extent of his deep-seated disrespect for any woman who doesn't live up to his blokey expectations came spilling out on his tour to Australia. Dur-ing his live cookery show, Ramsay launched a vicious and unprovoked attack on Australian TV host Tracy Grimshaw.

Tracy is a 39-year-old woman who is attractive and intelligent. Yet that didn't stop Ramsay serving up several courses of makeup brushes poisonous, personal insults.

For someone who can get away with charging pounds 90 for a three- course meal (wine not included), Gordon book printing Ramsay isn't half stupid. What he did in front of that largely female, middle-aged audience of fans was to kick a spectacular own-goal.

No Gordon, it's not funny to liken any woman to a pig - let alone a TV presenter who looks a lot like the women who buy your books, eat your overpriced food and pay your wages. It is not funny to make fun of the mole on her lip, or suggest she's gay (which she isn't) and needs to see Simon Cowell's botox doctor (as if he can talk).

Comments like these are not funny. They are rude, sexist and insulting not just to Tracy but to his entire female fanbase. They are also staggeringly stupid. You'd think if your company is struggling financially you'd want to kiss the hand that feeds it - not bite it off. But that's exactly what he did, garnished with a big slice of hubris.

Gordon Ramsay is so blinded by self-love he's lost all touch with reality. This is not just me banging the drum for wimmin's rights. The PM of Australia Kevin Rudd was so horrified by Ramsay's attack on Tracy Grimshaw he branded Ramsay a "new form of lowlife".

Ramsay would do everyone a favour, particularly his longsuffering family, if he kept his head down and his big gob makeup brushes shut. He should give up the Bernard Manning routine, lose the hippy necklaces and start acting his age. At 42 the rude kid image just doesn't wash any more.

He appears to be so drunk on egomania he has no idea the moment those allegations of an affair blew apart his squeaky clean family image, he lost all right to dish it out. When Tracy Grimshaw accused him of not treating his wife well, Ramsay took a swipe at her for that "disgusting attack on my wife".

No it wasn't. It was an attack on him for dragging the mother of his four kids through such tawdry allega-tions. Throughout every one of her husband's monumental cock-ups, Tana Ramsay has remained loyal and dignified.

But you wonder how even the most saintly wife could put up with it for much longer. So Gordon, run along back to the kitchen where you belong. For all our sakes.

Frightening loss for model Cap

Byline: Rachel Reillys

When Property on Sunday spoke to makeup brush former lingerie model Caprice Bourret in September, she had taken the South African house - which she'd bought for [pounds sterling]300,000 in 2006 - off the market, thinking prices had hit rock bottom.

But now the four-bedroom house, in the upmarket Johannesburg suburb of Bryanston - and once valued at more than [pounds sterling]1.2 million after she lavished [pounds sterling]400,000 on the renovation and refurbishment - is back on the market for just [pounds sterling]405,000.

She refused offers on the property last year because they were replica hublot watches 'ridiculous' but now she is facing up to reality and has decided to cut her losses and move on.

Caprice, 38, spent only a month in the palatial home because she was so scared of living in the area.

'People in the neighbourhood told me about being robbed embroidered patches at gunpoint,' she says. 'I was scared and couldn't sleep. I installed four alarms and had a security guy, but I was still scared. After a month I moved out of the house and stayed in a hotel.'

CAPTION(S):

HIT: Caprice, left, and her [pounds sterling]405,000 Johannesburg home

Fright-hand MAN

Director just the guy to turn Coraline into a charming but chilling stop-motion movie

Los ANGELES -- Once upon a time in England, before Neil Gaiman became a renowned comic-book writer and fantasy novelist, he was a dad to an imaginative little girl named Holly.

In the early SSRq90s, Gaiman had already begun his epic Sandman comic series after making a successful segue from journalism, where his accomplishments included a biography of the band Duran Duran.

Gaiman's fecund imagination would spawn many otherworldly creations. But it was Holly who got the ball rolling on Gaiman's book Coraline, which would go on to sell more than a million copies upon its publication in 2002.

"Holly is now 23, but at the time she was about four or five and she was the kind of Wednesday Addams kid who would climb on your lap and tell you stories," Gaiman recalls.

At that time, Gaiman says, her stories were almost invariably "about little girls who would come home and find their mothers were now being impersonated by evil witches.

The heroines were "locked up in cellars and had to escape and find their real mothers while the witches come after them."

Gaiman tried to find stories along the same vein that he could read to his daughter, but to no avail. Eventually, the penny dropped that it was time he wrote the story Clip on charms himself.

"That really was where it began, the idea that I'll write the story that Holly would like and it would be scary enough for her, because she was the kind of kid who loves things to be a little scary."

Hence: Coraline, the story of a plucky young girl who moves with her parents into an old house in which a door leads to an alternate world, where Coraline (voiced by Dakota Fanning) discovers her "Other Mother," a chipper woman who is happy to dote on the girl, and looks like her real world mother in almost every way -- except that she has black buttons for eyes.

The Movie

THE first draft of Coraline was finished in 2000 and it was immediately sent by Gaiman's agent to Henry Selick, known and celebrated as the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop-motion classic in which he collaborated with filmmaker Tim Burton, his old classmate in the animation program at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Calif.

Why Selick? Well, as Gaiman says, Selick is "the king of this kind of animation.

"I love the weird dichotomous relationship that stop-motion links of london charms has with reality, the fact that what you're seeing is real and exists and it has a tangibility and a reality that no (other) animation has, no matter how good," he says.

For his part, Selick was relieved to be able to add his own twists and characters to the story to make it more of a movie.

"I'm more of a visual person and there are certain things in the book, such as Coraline noticing that the Other Mother's teeth were just a tiny bit longer or that her button eyes seemed hungrier somehow. It's almost impossible to convey (in a filmic way) so you have to take liberties," Selick says.

Selick also had Gaiman's blessing when it came to adding a playmate named Wybie for Coraline, who tends to be alone in the book. Selick admits he also added his own eccentric touches including "the little old ladies downstairs who love their dogs so much that they stuff them when they die and dress them up
