Jefferson Patterson Park, Museum and Experience
Nov 27, 2014 by: JohnBCowgill from Washington DC, District of Columbia
You go up and down Maryland Route 4 constantly, and you see the signs to the park. You decide to make a detour. You arrive at the entrance and you go through a forest. You park by the Visitor Center, and you enter inside. It is small in size, but there is much to see to include the replication of former state senator Louie Goldstein's Annapolis office. You are impressed with the office, but you have not seen anything yet. The outside is amazing as you get a great view of the Patuxent River. You realize that this was the site of a battle during the War of 1812. You take the walk to the replica Indian Village. You then have the Patterson Estate (not open for inside tours) and you have to see the beach house. There is plenty of places to walk around so give yourself time to come here. The only downside is that the Visitor Center is not open all year round.
Maryland history, hiking/walking trails, and archeology treasures at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum
Oct 03, 2014 by: shaluhe from Churchton, Maryland
We spent the morning hiking the Woodland Trail and the Point Trail along the Patuxent River, and checking out the exhibits in the excellent Visitor's Center. The Woodland Trail has 2-3 benches and a few informative markers; it also has a couple of steep but short climbs and while it's in need of a little clearing of fallen branches, it still provided us with a pleasurable half-mile hike through the woods. The Point Trail provided an easy 1.7 mile walk with a short portion along the water's edge. Actually, we had to wade in the water along the shore part of the trail for about 40 yards as there was an unusually high tide (and that portion of the river is tidal)! The Visitor Center staff obviously didn't realize the shore portion of the trail was under water, or I'm sure they would have told us to avoid that part of the Point Trail. No matter to us, however, as wading in the clear water over white sand at the edge of a marsh was actually fun! The Visitor's Center exhibits display evidence of human life on the property, from over 9,000 years ago to the present, and it explains the science of archeology. There are archeological exhibits not only from the park property itself but from every county in Maryland, a short introductory film, an adorable well-appointed children's discovery room, and a gift shop. We didn't have time to see everything at the Jefferson Patterson Park. We definitely will return to visit the museum and the Archeology Conservation Lab (that gives tours once a month), do more hiking, and explore the Woodland Indian Village.
Beautiful nature!!
Jul 22, 2014 by: Arubagirl2002 from Lusby, Maryland
My husband and I haven't been to the park in years. (Not sure why.) We went there this past weekend and renewed our love for it. The paths were great - especially the one that runs parallel with the Patuxent River. It is pet friendly - as long as your dog is leashed. (Please remember to pick up your darling's droppings - there were piles some places where rude people didn't.)
1812 Fair and Reenactment
Jun 23, 2014 by: MajorComment from McLean, Virginia
We visited Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum for the 1812 Fair and Reenactment. The park has a beautiful setting on extensive grounds along the Patuxent River and St. Leonard Creek. In a single visit, we could see only some of the many features offered by the park and museum. You would need to visit several times to take it all in. REENACTMENTS: Major activities of the War of 1812 reenactment were simulated sea and land battles. The tall ships battle was very difficult to see because the cleared area along the shoreline is much too small to accommodate the large crowd of spectators. Viewing was much easier to see the American and British land forces' encampments, marching, drilling and engagements. The reenactors were excellent. 1812 FAIR: The 1812 Fair was conducted by exhibitors under canopies on the large lawn near the park's permanent pavilion. Only about half the exhibitors were in costume displaying goods or demonstrating crafts from the 1812 period. Modern exhibitors offered history books, ice cream and other information or goods. Not to take anything away from the modern exhibits, but the feel of the 1812 Fair would have been better if the 1812-period exhibitors and demonstrators (woodworker, blacksmith, sutler...) had been arranged near each other. Instead, 1812-period and modern exhibits were mixed together. US MARINES EXHIBIT: I particularly enjoyed the exhibit of U.S. Marines uniforms and equipment of 1812 and modern issue. It was a museum-quality display well organized on the lawn under a triple-size canopy. The docent was engaging and informative. Well done!
1812 Reenactment was fine
Jun 22, 2014 by: jxx9595 from Washington, DC
We came for the 1812 fair and reenactment and had a fine time. Everything was beautifully organized, with easy parking, things for kids, food for sale (decent, if overpriced as is usual at fairs), and the setting was wonderful. There's more to do in the park that we didn't have time for. Not sure there would have been food but for the event so prepare accordingly.

Was Condé Hasty with Blog Cuts?
Publisher pulls blog syndication network too soon.
On the heels of scaling back Portfolio, folding Men's Vogue and zapping its teen girl creation, Flip.com, Condé Nast announced that it will close the company's blog network created by Susan Kaplow, director of syndication and development.
Launched in 2007, the under-the-radar network boasted three bare-bones sites, Product Fiend, Elastic Waist and Daily Bedpost, a small staff and network of freelancers; while the three were originally billed as being separate from the company's magazines, all display links to Condé Nast's Glamour, Allure and Self. CN has decided to do away with this network in the face of slowing ad revenue growth.
"This blog network was a valued experiment," Kaplow told Mediaweek in an email (supplied by a company spokesperson), adding that the network was growing. However, Condé Nast can "no longer continue to support it in this environment."
While Condé Nast did not immediately release traffic figures for the blogs, a company source told Mediaweek that Bedpost's traffic was around 100,000 unique monthly users. However, marketing research company ComScore said the sites didn't meet its minimum reporting threshold of 100,000 unique visitors per month.
Part of the challenge of embracing digital is allowing experimental new initiatives enough time to grow—and a fall 2007 to winter 2008 lifespan just doesn't seem long enough. If the network was growing, why cut it now? It doesn't appear that Conde is making a high investment of company resources—or dollars—in the network.
In the past, the mega publisher has kept sinking magazines afloat for some time before letting them go (House & Garden) at the expense of company dollars and resources. So why not let a new, potentially profitable Web network develop to its full potential?

Ahead of the obligatory end-of-year round-up, here's my verdict on the best cinematic events of 2014*. You will disagree with most. You will have seen many not on the list. You may wonder why many films are here. And if this annoys you, wait three more months for my definitive countdown of '14 to make you even more cross.
The main obstacle to forming a relationship with a voice-activated computer assistant is embarrassment... It's the awkwardness of the interaction: It's impossible to talk to an electronic device without feeling ridiculous. Try it in public, and worry that anyone in earshot assumes you've had a full-on breakdown.
If you asked the general public whether they believed in charity the overwhelming response would be yes. Of course charities do good work; no one can deny that charities help tens of thousands of vulnerable people in all manner of difficult situations. However, most of the mainstream charities and NGOs have become corporatised, choosing relationships with corporates and government instead of grassroots social change movements.
As the controversy surrounding Kate Winslet's 'unrealistic' Vogue cover rages on, I meet with a world renowned high end retoucher, Pratik Naik (Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, FHM, Cosmopolitan and The Observer) to discuss aesthetics, ethics and the more technical aspects of beautifying subjects on commission.

'The Voice' Season 8 Judges Announced: Christina Aguilera Is Back!
Get ready, 'The Voice' fans: Christina Aguilera is coming back!
Get ready, 'The Voice' fans: Christina Aguilera is coming back!
Christina Aguilera, who gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday (Aug. 16), has officially released her daughter's name, Summer Rain Rutler!
While many soaked up the sun, Christina Aguilera celebrated the first day of summer (June 21) by showing off her growing belly on Twitter!
Jacquie Lee performed 'Broken Ones' and talked with PopCrush about her music, meeting Ed Sheeran and hanging out with Christina Aguilera after 'The Voice.'
A pregnant Christina Aguilera took the stage yesterday at the Wango Tango concert in Los Angeles where she performed 'Say Something' with the band A Great Big World.
After yesterday's announcement that Gwen Stefani will be replacing Christina Aguilera on NBC's 'The Voice,' Christina took to Twitter to talk about what she has planned during her time away from the reality competition show.
Finally! Christina Aguilera, pregnant with her second child, which she revealed is a girl, shared a photo while in NYC with her fiance Matthew Rutler. We can finally see her baby bump, as she put it on full display in the pic, something she hadn't done up until now.
Stunning singer Christina Aguilera is expecting her second child and guess what? She's having a baby girl.
Can't stop singing 'Let It Go' from Disney's 'Frozen'? Neither can we. And neither can the incredibly talented Off-Broadway actress Christina Bianco, who performed a hilarious parody of pop divas -- everyone from Demi Lovato to Alanis Morissette -- singing the now-iconic Disney tune.
Christina Aguilera got the most romantic Valentine's Day present. Her boyfriend, film producer Matt Rutler, proposed and Xtina accepted. She was quick to show off the ring, too.
A 4-year-old boy is moved to tears by the A Great Big World song 'Say Something,' and it is awww-dorable!
Like her chart-topping sister Lorde, little sis India Yelich-O'Connor seems to want to break into the music business.
The 15-year-old recently uploaded a cover of A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera's 'Say Something' to SoundCloud.

Diamond-studded Apple iPhone 4 costs £5 million
Only two of the Apple handsets will ever be made
By Nick Spence | Macworld UK | Published: 12:45, 18 October 2010
British designer Stuart Hughes is offering a £5 million ($8 million) Apple iPhone 4 adorned with 500 individual flawless cut diamonds totalling 100 carats.
Hughes 'pimped' the Apple handset for an Australian businessman. "It was a fantastic challenge and I am really pleased with the end result - the phones look superb," the Liverpool designer said.

"Phones are so popular at the moment, and this is the ultimate design for one. It was a very exciting project. The diamonds are rare and difficult to source. Stones like that usually have a very long history."
Highes said it was "amazing" that someone is prepared to spend £5m on a phone.
"I doubt it will get used because it is worth so much money," he said. "It would be a disaster if it was ever lost."
The £5m iPhone comes well protected in a granite presentation block. Only two of the handsets will ever be made.

Hello, and welcome to my periodic dig through the samples pile. I'm pleased to bring you the latest installment of Vinography Unboxed, where I highlight some of the better bottles that have crossed my doorstep recently.
This week's dive into the samples pile held a few gems, including a well-aged version of one of Germany's greatest Rieslings. Go figure. Who sends phenomenal, well-aged Spätlese to journalists? Germans, I guess. In any case, I was more than happy to pop open that Dönnhoff and take a swig. You should too.
A few other Rieslings made an appearance this week, including a dry one from Peter Jakob Kuhn, an excellent biodynamic producer in the Rheingau that I visited last summer. This one is slightly severe, but a pretty wine nonetheless.
On the other end of the spectrum (or the universe, depending on your point of view) I also enjoyed one of the newest releases from Nickel & Nickel, whose 2010 wines seem to be striking all the right notes.
There's an interesting Pinot Noir from Italy's Alto Adige there too, along with a beautiful example from the Willamette Valley as well.
All these and more below. Enjoy!
2008 Dönnhoff "Oberhäuser Brücke" Riesling Spätlese, Nahe, Germany
Yellow-gold in the glass, this wine smells of lemon curd, candied apples, and a hint of diesel fuel. In the mouth, the wine has a fantastic texture that silkily delivers bright candied citrus, lemon curd, and wet stone flavors electric with bright acidity. Beautifully balanced and lightly sweet, this wine goes down effortlessly. In its adolescence, the wine hangs between the more mature notes and the fruit of youth. Like the first scruff on the baby fat chin on its way to manhood. 8.5% alcohol. Score: around 9.5. Cost: $55 click to buy.
2011 Smith Madrone Chardonnay, Spring Mountain District, Napa, California
Pale gold in color, this wine smells of cold cream, lemon curd, and melted butter. In the mouth, bright lemon zest and lemon curd flavors mix with wet stones and grapefruit pith. Excellent acidity and brightness, with a nice airy finish.Only the faintest hint of toasted oak wafts above the juicy fruit. 14.2% alcohol. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $28 click to buy.
2011 Adelsheim "Bryan Creek" Pinot Noir, Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Pale garnet in color, this wine smells of forest floor, raspberries, and wet wood. In the mouth, beautiful forest floor and loamy darkness swirls with raspberry and redcurrant flavors that have the bounce of excellent acidity. Faint, powdery tannins scrape gently at the edges and top of the palate. Good acidity and beautiful dark mysteriousness. 13% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $62 click to buy.
2010 Nickel & Nickel "C.C. Ranch" Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, Napa, California
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of black cherry, black tea, and tobacco. In the mouth, suede-like tannins wrap around a core of bright cherry fruit that has an angular quality. Flavors of cherry, tobacco, and tea mix with darker earth notes and only the barest hint of oak. 14.8% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $80 click to buy.
2009 Dr. Pauly Bergweiler "Bernkasteler Badstube" Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Germany
Pale gold in color, this wine smells of mandarin oranges and just the faintest hint of struck flint. In the mouth, juicy and bright flavors of mandarine oranges tinged with a hint of pear and rainwater bounce merrily across the palate. Excellent minerality and balance. Fantastic acidity makes the mouth water, and if the complexity is perhaps not as deep as it could be, well that is easily forgiven. Lightly to moderately sweet. 9% alcohol. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $28 click to buy.
2007 Tenuta Lageder "Krafuss" Pinot Noir, Sudtirol, Alto Adige, Italy
Pale ruby in color, this wine smells of red apple skin, mulling spices, and leather. In the mouth leather, forest floor, and red apple skin flavors have a pleasant bitterness and nice smoothness. The long finish has a forest floor earthiness that is quite pleasant. 13.5% alcohol. Score: around 8.5. Cost: $60 click to buy.
2008 Peter Jakob Kühn "Jacobus" Riesling Trocken, Rheingau, Germany
Light gold in color, this wine smells of mandarin orange segments in syrup mixed with diesel fuel. In the mouth, tart lemon and grapefruit flavors mix with a paraffin note, and linger with orange zest in the finish. Excellent acidity, though perhaps a bit austere. Tastes completely dry. 11.5% alcohol. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $23 click to buy.
2008 Hooked Riesling, Nahe, Germany
Light gold in color, this wine smells of candle wax, oranges and pears. In the mouth the wine is faintly sweet and offers simple but appealing flavors of pears, apples, and mixed citrus. Good acidity keeps everything quite juicy and bouncy across the palate. 9.5% alcohol. Score: around 8.5. Cost: $13 click to buy.

Perl in a Nutshell
Authors: Ellen Siever, Stephen Spainhour and Nathan Patwardhan
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Price: $24.95
Reviewer: Jan Rooijackers
A quick stroll through the book gave me the impression that much time was spent putting it together. The book is divided into eight parts, each containing one or more chapters.
Chapter 1 is a small but very useful chapter. It explains how Perl can be used and which platforms support it. The most important paragraph in this chapter is "Perl Resources". All well-known resources are mentioned here: newsgroups, FAQs (frequently asked questions), web pages and other books from the publisher.
Now that you know how to get Perl, it is time you got it installed. Specific installation topics like installing modules and documentation are explained in Chapter 2.
In Chapter 3, the Perl interpreter and its options are explained from command-line to environment variables. Chapter 4 explains the program structure. This chapter and the following one are good references for anyone already familiar with Perl or another programming language. If you are totally new to programming and you want to learn Perl, the book Learning Perl (Randal L. Swartz and Tom Christianson, also from O'Reilly) might be a better place to start.
Chapter 5 gives brief descriptions of the built-in functions. Each description covers the syntax of the function, with the types and order of its arguments. Since no one writes perfect code all the time, the debugger is explained with its various options. Packages, modules and objects are discussed in chapters 7 and 8. A short explanation and an example give you a good idea of how each standard module, delivered with Perl, is used.
CGI is covered in chapters 9 through 11. I feel this section will be used the most, because CGI together with the Internet is such a hot item. Many web pages make use of CGI scripts.
Chapter 11 discusses the useful things which can be done by mod_perl as it merges Perl into the Apache web server. This module will reduce the forking of extra processes each time a script is executed. Installing this module and making use of its capabilities can speed up execution on the server.
Chapter 12 explains the connection between databases and Perl. Databases are also a hot item on the Internet these days. DBM (database management) and DBI (database interface) are covered in this chapter.
Network topics such as sockets, e-mail, news, FTP and LWP (library for web access in Perl) are discussed in part six. Each chapter starts with a short description of the service, followed by the key words in alphabetical order along with their uses.
Perl/Tk is discussed in Chapter 18. I did some design work with Tcl/Tk in the past, and was amazed at how easy it was to get something done. With Perl and Tk, it is even simpler. Using the examples, you can quickly design some nice things.
The last chapter covers Win32 modules and extensions. With the information provided in this chapter, you could create some nice things in the Microsoft world.
The index may be the most important part of a book, in my opinion. A bad index will cost you time when searching for topics in a book. This index is so complete, you will easily find any desired information.
This book was hard to review, because it is a reference guide. One thing is clear: the authors have made it a good reference guide. This book is a must for people who already know Perl and want to learn more. The information you need is easy to find and understand due to clearly written text and good examples.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Egypt's Orascom, Nasr City scrap Tigan cooperation
Egyptian group Orascom Development and local real estate firm Madinet Nasr Housing scrapped an agreement to cooperate in developing the Tigan real estate project, Orascom said on Monday.
January 16, 2012 12:24 by Reuters
Swiss-based Orascom Development Holding through its subsidiary was managing the 3.5 million square metre development with Madinet Nasr but said in a statement the two firms had reached a joint decision to cancel the agreement because the time was unsuitable to launch the project.
The fate of the Tigan project was not immediately clear after Orascom withdrew from managing the development.
Egypt's property market, which had been a major driver of foreign investment and growth, has been reeling from political uncertainty and a string of legal rows over how the government of ousted President Hosni Mubarak sold state land.
Orascom said in the statement the decision was made "in light of the recent changes in the real estate industry and the unsuitable timing to launch a huge and luxurious housing project." It did not provide further details.
Land disputes have hit major firms like Talaat Moustafa Group, Palm Hills Development, and Egyptian Resorts, most of which have higher exposure to luxury property. The cases revolve around a 1998 law requiring state land be sold via competitive bidding not direct sales.
Nasr City Housing, a formerly-state run firm founded by the government in 1959 and now 30 percent owned by Beltone Private Equity, has been awaiting government approval to start work on some of the best land it owns.
Work on Tigan, planned to include mixed-use housing units and commercial buildings, had been stalled for over a decade because of a dispute with Egypt's aviation authority.
A firm official said in an interview late last year that Nasr City expected a final seal of approval from the government and to launch the project by the first half of 2012. (Reporting by Dina Zayed; Editing by Hans-Juergen Peters)

Winter and Roses - - A Time to Rest
by Jolene Adams, Roses Chair
Winter is the time that roses rest. Or, they are supposed to! In California, many of our microclimates are too warm for dormancy – not enough chill hours to force the roses to stop growing and blooming.
All deciduous trees and shrubs are dropping leaves now – your modern roses should too. But many of us will need to force them to defoliate and go to sleep by spraying a copper and sulfur oil spray (dormant spray) on them to help leaf drop occur.
The dormant spray is also good for eliminating spores from rose diseases and smothering insect eggs that are hidden in the cracks and crevices of the bark on the rose stems. Sulfur is a necessary ingredient in rose nutrition so don't worry about using too much – spray the whole bush, tops and undersides of leaves, stems and base, until the spray drips off. You can also mist the ground around the rose.
Sanitation in the rose bed is important in winter – our rainy season. Dead leaves and petals lying on the damp soil will harbor molds and mildews that attack roses, and give refuge to the eggs and larvae of many insects. Beneficial insects don't overwinter on roses, so what is left are the "not good guys".
Late winter is pruning time – a necessary step in good gardening with modern roses. They need to have a lot of the old growth trimmed back, spindly growth removed, older canes cut off at the base so that the stored food in the root system can start new growth in the Spring.
Cutting limbs off trees and shrubs stimulates new growth - so prune after the last possible hint of freezing temps - or in January for coastal and lowland gardeners.
When pruning, remove the top growth by at least half – more if the rose is a robust grower. Strip off any remaining leaves. Old canes will have greyish bark, newer canes will have green skin - not bark. You want to remove the old ones and save big, juicy new ones.
Look closely at the stem - find a leaf scar (like a smiley face) on the outside face of the cane, and cut at an angle. Make sure the high side of the cut is on the outside. Slanted cuts like this also help reduce fungal infections by forcing moisture to roll off the cut surface.
After pruning, spray once more with a calcium polysulfide solution (another dormant spray - smells like rotten eggs) to coat the remaining stems.
Remember - Stop, and Smell the Roses!

Under rating threshold (hideshow) 1/5 interesting idea. but maneuvering the tank is so horrible it makes the game not worth playing. Plus, you can only have one powerup at a time, and they are temporary, that is very annoying.
Nov. 11, 2008
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Make the tank move a bit faster, the map a bit bigger, add powerups and multiple levels and that would be great.
Nov. 11, 2008
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It's Ok... keep on shooting my powerups which sucks and your tank moves like a slug. Really need to use the walls. 3/5

Friday 03 February 2012
When Newcastle kicked off life back in the Barclays Premier League with a 6-0 thumping of Aston Villa in August 2010, the good times seemed to have finally returned to Tyneside.
Promotion from the Championship at the first attempt had put the feelgood factor back into the Magpies, and with the likes of Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan and young striker Andy Carroll in the side, there were plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
Quickly, however, Newcastle's season began to unravel. Manager Chris Hughton was sacked in December, Andy Carroll was sold on deadline day in January 2011, and, after finishing the season 12th, club captain Nolan left for West Ham, Barton following him out of the exit door for QPR in August.
"It's incredible that we're fifth. We're safe already, too. Now let's see what we can do"
- Alan Pardew
But under Alan Pardew, who was the surprise choice to replace Hughton more than a year ago, Newcastle have regrouped and reinvested - and now they are reinvigorating the area of the north-east to whom the club means so much.
Clever summer signings Yohan Cabaye and Demba Ba slotted seamlessly into the side, providing creativity and goals, while Dutch keeper Tim Krul has been a revelation between the posts since claiming the shirt for his own from rival custodian Steve Harper.
An 11-match unbeaten start to the Barclays Premier League season set the tone for a campaign that has continued to blossom, even in the absence of the prolific Ba, who has missed their last three top-flight fixtures due to his involvement with Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.
When Ba - who has scored 15 League goals in only 19 matches - returns for the home contest against Aston Villa on Sunday, he will be accompanied by someone he is well acquainted with but who is not yet a familiar face on Tyneside - Senegalese forward Papiss Demba Cisse.
The 26-year-old joined Newcastle for £9m from German side Freiburg during the transfer window but has yet to play for the club.
It is little wonder that Pardew, who has led Newcastle to fifth - only three points behind Chelsea and a Champions League berth - is so upbeat going into the final 15 matches of the campaign.
"Papiss and Demba are back and we have done brilliantly while they have been away," said Pardew, who has also managed West Ham and Charlton Athletic in the Barclays Premier League. "When the guys went everyone thought it would be difficult for us.
"But we have had two big, big victories without them against QPR and again at Blackburn. Those results have been about resolve, resilience and grit. We can now attack the second half of the season, we find ourselves fifth.
"I will treat the number nine shirt with respect and hope to give the fans something to be proud of"
- Papiss Demba Cisse
"It is incredible really. We are safe as well. That's a big barrier that we have overcome. We shouldn't get away from that, to get that under our belt first is great, now with the games we have left we have to see what we can do."
And when Villa come to town for the first time since their drubbing at the beginning of last season, all eyes will be on how much mayhem the Senegalese strikers can cause in the remaining months of the campaign.
If Ba guarantees goals in a black-and-white shirt, Cisse would seem to offer something similar - after all, he managed 37 in only 65 matches for struggling Freiburg, and has 10 in 17 for his country too.
Cisse has the added honour of being handed Newcastle's famous number nine shirt - a jersey that has been worn by such greats as Hughie Gallacher, Jackie Milburn, Malcolm MacDonald and Alan Shearer over the years, but had been vacant for a year since Carroll's departure.
"I am aware of the huge importance of the number nine shirt, and when I spoke with the manager he made it very clear how important this shirt is," says Cisse.
"I will treat it with respect and I hope to do my very best in this shirt. I want to pay back the confidence the club have shown in me, and give the supporters something to be proud of."
If Cisse is true to his word, the good times may only have just begun at the Toon.
