Chicken Soup for the Soul in a magazine
In the last few years you may have noticed how the global recession has impacted upon our collective psyche. Whilst the nineties and noughties witnessed a throw-away society and mass consumerism recently a new consciousness has emerged – a 'make-do-and-mend' mentality and a return to frugality, dubbed 'austerity chic'. These phenomena have heralded a new popularity of old skills like sewing on buttons, darning socks and growing your own vegetables.
Media and celebrities have caught onto the trend through programmes like Kirstie Allsopp's 'Handmade Britain' and 'Homemade Home' which extol the virtues of domesticity and show viewers how to make items such as decoupage tea lights and clay-baked gift tags. The Duchess of Cambridge is a key exponent of this trend, recycling her hats and outfits and even swapping them with her mum.
It is into this zeitgeist that Bauer launch their new print magazine, 'LandScape'; tapping explicitly into this 'austerity chic' and nostalgia for simpler times.
Launching a print title in the current market is a bold move. ABC results published in February made for fairly grim reading; apart from the increase in circulations of free titles Shortlist and Stylist, the rest of the magazine market suffered a down-turn. Add to this the huge upheavals in the magazine market (consolidation of Hearst and Hachette last year, BBC magazines now in the hands of Immediate Media and IPC re-structuring) and the continuing move of readers to online formats and you start to see the scale of LandScape's task.
LandScape will sit within the home interest sector alongside titles including Country Living, Homes and Gardens and Country Homes and Interiors. Bauer believe their closest competitor to be Country Living, but as the title straddles cooking, gardening, women's monthlies and home interest it will be interesting to see where the readers will migrate from and which titles will suffer as a result of its launch.
Editor Sheena Harvey believes LandScape will be "a haven from the pressures of modern living, a chance to slow down and a reminder of the good things in life". Editorial content will be based around the growing seasons and "celebrate the joy of the garden, simple seasonal kitchen food, traditional British crafts and the wonder of nature and the countryside".
To emphasise the luxurious and relaxing positioning of LandScape Bauer have invested in heavier printed paper with an evocative use of photos throughout. Currently there are no plans for an online version. Print feels like the right environment for launch, offering the reader a more relaxing read than digital formats, however if early sales reveal a younger reader than anticipated an online edition must surely follow.
LandScape launched on 18th April with a print of 170k and a cover price of £3.90. The launch was supported with a 32 page sampler in the Times distributed in last Saturday's edition (14th April) and by English heritage who are promoting the magazine to its 1 million plus members. It will also be promoted through the Bauer's stable of titles where they will drive subscriptions though it will not be cover-mounted. It is set at an accessible price point and will be produced bimonthly to maintain seasonality and the unhurried theme.
Bauer believe it will find its core audience amongst 35+ women with an interest in the countryside and nature. This target audience is a distinct departure from Bauer Media's traditional area of expertise with titles including Grazia, Heat, FHM and Closer focusing on the younger end of the market. Nevertheless, Bauer do have a history of successful launches; Grazia was the UK's first quality women's weekly and demonstrated the publisher's ability to make a brand successful very quickly.
So, will they carve themselves a niche with this new launch? Well they have certainly tapped into the zeitgeist and with a double dip recession announced last week the age of austerity seems set to continue. The print market needs continual investment in order to survive, evolve and ultimately prosper. Launches are the life blood of a healthy market and a barometer for the industry and so I can only applaud Bauer's bravery and wish them luck with their new launch.

The top 3 best vitamins for the human body help the body in different, but equally important ways. To determine what these vitamins are and how you get more of them in your daily diet, continue reading. If you need to find the best vitamins, click here.
Vitamin C-
Not only is vitamin c considered an immune system vitamin, making the immune system strong and capable of fending off colds and viruses, but it is also essential for strong teeth and bones. In order for the body to absorb calcium, it also needs adequate amounts of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is also considered one of, if not one of the most important vitamins for the skin because it helps the body reduce the damage caused by free radical oxidation. Free radical oxidation is not only infamous for causing cancer related illnesses, but it is also responsible for premature aging.
The best way to get your vitamin C is to eat or drink plenty of fruits and veggies such as citrus fruits, like oranges, lemons and limes, in addition to other fruits like strawberries. Veggies broccoli, in addition to red and green bell peppers are also excellent sources of vitamin C.
Vitamin D-
Just like vitamin C helps with the body's absorption of calcium, so does vitamin D. This essential vitamin also helps reduce inflammation within the body. So it helps reduce swollen joints caused by arthritis, helps ease skin disorders, such as psoriasis and eczema. It also plays a vital role in immune system functioning.
While most people can get their daily dose of vitamin D by simply getting some sun, others get their vitamin D from the foods they eat. Some good sources of vitamin D include fortified cereals, in addition to milk and cheese products.
Vitamin A-
Vitamin A is a key vitamin that promotes the health of eyes and supports vision. It is also another important and essential skin vitamin because it helps skin retain moisture, gives skin a healthy glow, and is responsible for preventing dry skin and is necessary for the maintenance of the skin.
Good sources of vitamin A include orange colored fruits and veggies like mangoes, cantaloupe and carrots.
These top 3 best vitamins for the body when consumed daily will help you fend off the common cold, help in the prevention of cancer, give you beautiful, glowing skin and help with the absorption of calcium, all reducing inflammation within the body.

Fifty years ago this week, following a massive July 4-7, 1963 demonstration protesting the segregation of the Gwynn Oak Amusement Park, nearly 400 people were arrested.
Sunday, hundreds again gathered in the park, celebrating the successful demonstration, considered one of the key moments of the Civil Rights era in Baltimore. The amusement park opened to African Americans a month and a half after the protests.
"History has been lost on a lot of today's generation," Beverly O'Neal, one of the organizers of this weekend's event, told WMAR. "Many aren't even aware of this historic event that happened right here in our home town. We felt it was important to tell this story."
The daylong celebration yesterday offered live music, food, arts and crafts, and a storytelling area where visitors could listen to reflections about the protests and the eventual desegregation of Gwynn Oak Amusement Park.
According to a website dedicated to promoting yesterday's celebration, then-...

Living with the iPad Mini: Three weeks and counting
OK, I'll admit it. The iPad Mini hasn't left my hands in the last three weeks. It's been no contest, really. While the larger fourth-gen iPad has sat alone by my bedside table, the Mini has gone on field trips on the bus, gotten dragged in my jacket pocket while I dropped my kid off at school, been coddled at the cafe over breakfast, and slipped alongside my laptop on work excursions.
As I predicted when I reviewed it, the Mini's had a hard time leaving my hands, because few places seem inappropriate for it. At a Kindle size, it's bedroom-friendly. It'll set up nicely on a kitchen counter. It slides into otherwise lesser-used front pockets on backpacks. And it might be the best gaming handheld Apple's ever made, based on the sheer size of the screen and its thin, two-hand-friendly frame.
But, what does that mean?… Read more

What this means exactly is not clear. Presumably, the tweeted video would be companion content to the programming that appears on the network, with the partners driving traffic to each other.

The spiritual meaning of love is measured by what it can do. Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.
Deepak Chopra
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists, as the mother can love the unborn child.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
By poeticizing love, we imagine in those we love virtues that they often do not possess; this then becomes the source of constant mistakes and constant distress.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.
Tom Head
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
Og Mandino
Love is the only cement that can hold this broken community together.When I am commanded to love, I am commanded to restore community, to resist injustice, and to meet the needs fo my brothers.
Martin Luther King Jr
Oh, love, love, love - Love on a hilltop high, Love against a cloudless sky, Love where the scene is Painted by a million stars, Love with martinis In the cabarets and bars. Oh, love, love, love...
Anthony Burgess
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it. You might feel it and just not show it.
Kate Bush
Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society. Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all.
George Walker Bush
Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.
John Cheever
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Victor Hugo
True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes.
Therese of Lisieux
Christ is known only by them that receive Him into their love, their faith, their deep want; known only as He is enshrined within, felt as a Divine force, breathed in the inspirations of the secret life.
Horace Bushnell
To love God is to have good health, good looks, good sense, experience, a kindly nature and a fair balance of cash in hand.
Samuel Butler
Love, as it exists in society, is nothing but the exchange of two fantasies and the contact of two skins.
Nicolas Chamfort
Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch cold on over-exposure.
Samuel Butler
A pair of lovers are like sunset and sunrise: there are such things every day but we very seldom see them.
Samuel Butler

From personnel files and student grades to accounts receivable data and cutting-edge research, the US based Virginia Tech University maintains enormous amounts of sensitive information. So it is no wonder that its networks are probed hundreds of thousands of times every day.
Adequately protecting such a complex campus network infrastructure, made up of more 30,000 computing and communication systems across 125 buildings, requires a host of layered defenses, says Randy Marchany, the university's information security officer, who leads a team of four full-time security analysts in addition to several graduate students.
Marchany and his group have been collecting security-related information from various sources – such as operating system logs, intrusion detection and prevention systems, firewalls and vulnerability scanners – for a number of years. But with such vast amounts of security data being regularly generated and stored on separate, distributed servers, it became difficult to see the big picture, he says.

The standard engine for the new Chrysler 200 is the 173-horsepower, 166 foot-pounds 2.4-liter world engine that Chrysler shares with two other car companies. Three old V6 engines, the 3.3, the 3.8, and the 4.0-liter, have been retired and replaced by the new corporate 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which puts out 283 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque, coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. With the four-cylinder, there is a new three-point engine mounting system that transmits far less vibration into the cabin.
To make the car handle better, the engineers widened the rear track one inch, and retuned nearly every piece, part and system in the front and rear suspensions. They revalved all the shock absorbers, stiffened the front springs by 15 percent, added a rear stabilizer bar where there was none on the previous model, and stiffened the front and rear subframe mounts by 400 and 70 percent, respectively, and the front subframe about 200 percent vertically. The tires have been upgraded to the new quiet-running Michelin Primacy and upsized from 215 to 225 size. The 200 has much-improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) behavior, with a new acoustic windshield, laminated side glass, reshaped mirrors, and a retuned exhaust system.
We spent some time in a four-cylinder, 6-speed automatic Touring model and were very impressed with its overall behavior, acceleration, road noise, but we spent the majority of our seat time in a Limited V6 version.
We were genuinely surprised by the new and much higher handling limits of the Chrysler 200 chassis. With 26 of the 30 suspension and subframe bushing replaced, upgraded springs, shock absorbers, stabilizer bars and tires, the 200 took to some of our favorite Northern California driving roads like a cheetah chasing down a gazelle, changing pace, shifting its weight, gripping the ground, and staying on its line.
The 283-horsepower V6 engine is a brand new design that will power many future products, and in this application, coupled to the 6-speed but working manually in third and fourth gears through the mountain two-laners, it showed class-leading power and acceleration, not something we ever have said about the Sebring's old engines. It generates almost 1.3 horsepower per cubic inch, and has every one of the latest technologies except for direct fuel injection. Chrysler says the new V6 generates more than 90 percent of its peak torque from 1600 up to 6400 rpm, and our mountain driving showed that it always had plenty of torque coming off of slow corners. The engine has a nice, powerful growl when it's working, and you can't hear it when it's not.
At highway cruising speeds, there is some wind and tire noise (the price you pay for aggressive, sticky Goodyear tires), but it's not objectionable.


text: I refrained from posting on this thread until I read the June issue of Mustang Times. I was irritated by some of Steve Prewitts comments in the Drivers Seat editorial and other comments from Austin Craig in the News & Notes column. I have the greatest respect for both of these gentlemen but I dont think either one took a positive approach in their columns. I think they both lost a great opportunity to start a positive hard sell on the 50th. I believe the more information made available, the more people begin to tune in to whats coming. Lack of detail tends to fuel the flaming thats taking place in many of the posts on this forum. Personally, I favor one location for the 50th but to my mind, thats not the biggest issue. The big issue is lack of information. People need to make plans and less than two years on the lead time calendar isnt very much. Travel plans, financial plans, plans that some will make regarding volunteer work at the show venues, vacation plans for those that need time off from work, and on and on. Not to mention banquet plans, speaker plans, vendor plans, driving event plans, Mustang display plans, plans and designs for show accessories, the same for trophies, and, again, on and on. Understandably, many things arent firmed-up yet but the more time passes, the harder itll be to put the celebrations together. And with two venues to coordinate, it would seem a more complex and time consuming job compared to focusing on just one venue. Come on MCA, start putting some of those things out there so folks can start making plans. Solicit help and comments. Involve the membership. And how about letting the Mustang community at large know about the 50th (i.e., non-MCA members). Then periodically refresh their memories so they remember to attend.

VIDEOS: Trucker's two treks through Interstate 29 floodwaters north of Grand Forks
A video of a trucker's Interstate 29 ride between and through floodwaters north of Grand Forks includes music from "The Who" and a few added surrealistic touches. A second, more straightforward video from the same trucker offers views of deeper "Lake I-29" driving north of Manvel, N.D., plus more trucks making the water trek. Open the article link, then look below for videos.By: Herald Staff Report, Grand Forks Herald
It provides a fast-forward start and finish, features a rock concert version of The Who's "Flood" and throws in a few varied camera views toward the end that provide a trippy feel to this trek.
There's another editing touch that offers a surreal twist - and that's in addition to driving through some floodwaters.
This trucker's Interstate 29 southbound drive between - and through - floodwaters north of Grand Forks - could be called a semi-distinct entry among 2011 floods music videos.
Floodwaters appear on either side of I-29, but not on its surface, until about a minute and 50 seconds into the video. Total running time is about 4 1/2 minutes.
Look below for the video:
Posted Friday on YouTube, the video apparently was taken several days earlier.
The light on the trucker's southbound trek provides the feel of a morning drive sometime after sunrise. That's an illusion.
The video image is flipped horizontally. The truck is on the wrong side of the interstate. And the fleeting views of road signs appear as though they are views into a mirror.
Whether the distorted image is intentional or not is not shared in the video description.
Driving north
The second video, also posted Friday by YouTube poster "hnbawuede," continues the Interstate 29 trucker's floodwater adventures, also one this week. It lasts close to 12 minutes.
This time driving north - and providing a normal video image - the I-29 trucker navigates floodwaters north of Manvel, N.D., up to the Oslo, Minn., interchange. The waters appear to be deeper than in the first video, and there are more semis visible, too.
The first part of this second video includes audible truck noises overlapping with a loud version of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Can't Stop." There's no music heard during the rest of the video:

Is there a stigma attached to the Westside Community Center now that it is operated by northside megachurch Woodmen Valley Chapel?
Eric Phillips, a former property manager in Colorado Springs, says there is.
And he doesn't want three other community centers turned over to churches to suffer the same fate.
Instead, Phillips wants the city to give control of the centers in Meadows Park, Hillside and Deerfield Hills to his fledgling nonprofit organization: Community Partnership Project.
Here's a look at its web site and a few photos it has posted.
It's a choice the City Council will face in coming weeks.
Another church-based group has a plan to rescue Meadows Park from closure in 2011.
And the group believes the same concept could apply to Hillside and Deerfield Hills.
The plan offered by Scott Lovaas, a pastor at Broadmoor Community Church, is patterned after the Woodmen Valley Chapel concept. But it's different.
Instead of just one church taking over a center, Lovaas said he has recruited a dozen churches located near Meadows Park to contribute money, volunteers and ideas to run the center.
Unlike Phillips, who has only a shell web site and no specific plans for programs or funding, Lovaas has a 35-page Master Plan proposal for City Council detailing seven areas of focus for programs at Meadows Park from 2011 to 2013.
And perhaps more important, Lovaas said he has pledges of cash, volunteers and grants of about $125,000 for the center. His group will approach the City Council next week to ask for $75,000 to bring the total operating budget to $200,000.
Brian Kates, the city's Meadows Park manager, said Lovaas is offering the city a bargain. Historically, it has subsidized about 90 percent of the community centers' budgets. The $75,000 figure represents a subsidy of just 37 percent, Kates said.
Lovaas plans to use existing city staff to oversee the various projects his group intends to offer at the center from day care and after-school programs to hot lunch programs, health and wellness clinics, medical screening and even crime prevention classes.
Phillips said the city staff has done a poor job engaging the community centers into neighborhoods.
"People don't know what these centers are or what they offer," Phillips said.
He said his staff, when hired, will emphasize "community revitalization." And he said his plan is to charge a membership fee, perhaps $20 a year, for use of the centers.
Phillips said Community Partnership Project has a fundraising reception scheduled Sept. 22 at the El Paso Club downtown and plans to approach the City Council with its proposal on Sept. 27.
Here's a previous column I wrote about the community centers and a blog.

Why Choose SSAS Practitioner.com? Transparent, Competitive Fees We believe many SSAS providers charge unnecessarily high fees by exaggerating the amount of work required and using rather opaque time-cost calculations or complicated fee menus. Our efficient administrative procedures and low overheads allow most SSASs to run for just £800 + VAT pa, fully inclusive, with no-set up or take-over fee. The only additional fees are for additional Members (above four), and payment of PAYE (if required). We believe our fees are by far the most competitive in the market and over a period of time could add thousands of pounds to your pension fund. See the effect of excessive charges. Within our flat annual fee we provide all the services required to run a SSAS, unique in the marketplace. If you wish to have your SSAS managed by experts who provide innovative, personalised service without excessive 'time cost' or 'fee menu' charges contact us! SSAS Practitioner.com separates SSAS Management from investment advice. We provide you with truly independent management of your SSAS, ensuring that HMRC rules are complied with, leaving your or your investment adviser free to decide where to invest your funds.
There is no obligation for SSAS members to employ a professional to run their scheme. However, the SSAS rules are very complex. Do you have the experience to run your scheme within the HMRC rules and to maximise the tax relief and other benefits of a SSAS? Non-compliance with HMRC rules can result in a 55% tax charge being implemented on the scheme. Having a professional run your SSAS is therefore certainly wise, and probably essential. Having a professional whose fees don't reduce your fund value excessively is even wiser! SSAS charges - comparisons of our fees with those traditional SSAS providers.
We are registered with HMRC as a Company Service Provider and our Directors have passed HMRC's 'fit and proper person' test. We are also registered with HMRC as a 'Practitioner' and with the Information Commissioner as a 'Data Controller'.
Innovative Thinking Advanced pension planning is included within our annual fee to ensure your scheme operates with maximum tax efficiency. Examples of these complex areas are: Taking benefits using Phased Retirement Taking benefits using a Scheme Pension Increasing the amount of tax-free cash available Contributions to the scheme of assets (In Specie Contributions) in place of monetary contributions Using SSAS as a business tool Here at SSAS Practitioner.com the above examples of advanced pension planning are regarded as the 'bread and butter' of SSASs, as are buying and selling property and making contributions. Unlike many traditional SSAS providers we don't claim these issues are so time consuming that they merit charging extra fees.
We do not provide investment advice and therefore have no sales agenda with our SSAS clients. We simply tell you what is allowable and what is not in terms of SSAS investments. We do not endorse any investment products for commission purposes. We liaise with the providers of any allowable investments you wish to make and set up the investment as quickly and efficiently as possible. (We advise you to speak to an authorised individual before making investment decisions.) Our administration service ensures that full tax relief is received and that the scheme is guaranteed to stay tax exempt, as long as you heed our advice. Efficient administration of your SSAS HMRC require a SSAS to be run by either an Administrator or a Practitioner. We operate as a practitioner for your SSAS so that you, the client, remain as Administrator and Trustee (see below). We believe this to to be the most efficient way of running your SSAS, as you remain fully in control. As Practitioner: We are not co-trustees of the scheme and are not signatories to the scheme's investments. We believe this ensures a more rapid and efficient investment process. We never handle client money in any form. We do not promote any investment service providers or their products. We are therefore completely impartial and merely advise whether an investment is acceptable for a SSAS. We are liable for information submitted to HMRC on behalf of the scheme. As Administrator, you sign unilaterally for each scheme transaction after checking with us what is and is not possible. We review the scheme's accounts periodically to ensure that it adheres to HMRC legislation and keeps the SSAS's tax- efficient wrapper intact. It is our repsonsibility to inform HMRC of any breaches of their rules. A unique aspect of SSASs is that you, as the client, can be a designated Trustee of your own pension scheme, thus this giving you an extra element of control and peace of mind over your pension assets.
Under our platform one of the Trustees, or the 'Sponsoring Employer', would be the 'Scheme Administrator' with HMRC. The Scheme Administrator is registered with HMRC as the person legally responsible for the scheme. Therefore, if the scheme was to make any unauthorised payments or investments the Scheme Administrator would be liable for the tax bill. We provide guidelines as to what is acceptable. Under our SSAS the trustees are the sole signatories to the pension's investments. You need to ensure that all pension monies and investments are kept within the pensions wrapper. We will not be responsible for any tax charges resulting from unauthorised investments or payments made by the Trustees. We do not provide tax advice. As Practitioner we run the scheme on behalf of the Scheme Administrator. What your current SSAS provider will claim to try and keep your business: Many SSAS providers run SSASs as Administrators and are 'Corporate Trustees'. They claim the moral high ground over Practitioners as they are co-signatories on the schemes assets. Therefore, they need to sign and oversee every transaction on your scheme under the pretense of making sure the scheme abides by HMRC's rules before often charging you handsomely. In practice, this reduces the efficient administration of your SSAS as it increases the time involved and hence their fees. We believe by acting as Practitioner we can advise you what can and can't be done within the rules, you then sign unilaterally for transactions and take control of your fund. Efficient, stress-free take over from your existing provider: The take-over process should not take more than 4 weeks and we make it entirely stress-free for you, the client.The take-over process is very straightforward: We obtain a copy of the current Trust Deed and Rules, together with with a list of the scheme's investments, from your current provider. We prepare a Deed of Removal for the scheme, effectively removing the former Corporate Trustee. The new Deed is signed by the Member Trustees and we issue copies to all the investment providers. We notify the changes to the relevant banks, investment companies, HMRC and the Pensions Regulator. We provide a review of the scheme and provide you with a full information pack for your scheme, including an up to date valuation and retirement projection. We send a report to the Trustees of the work we have undertaken, and an invoice for our annual fee (£800 + VAT pa).
What if we were to cease trading?
This is highly unlikely given the popularity of our fully inclusive flat-fee model, but is a question we have been asked by some of our clients. You control the money in your SSAS. As Trustees you are signatories to the scheme's bank accounts and investments. We are not signatories to your scheme, therefore if we were to cease trading this would have no effect on your scheme; we are not 'co-signatures' to any of your scheme's investments. You would simply go ahead and appoint another Practitioner to run your scheme.

Inca Trail Tours
- Machu Picchu
- Winay Wayna
- Intipata
- Dead Woman's Pass
- Aguas Calientas (Hot Springs)
At its height the Inca road system covered over 20,000 km and stretched from Ecuador to Chile; most trails converged on Cuzco, capital of the empire. The stretch refered to as "the" Inca Trail today is in fact merely the final, dramatic and most popular stretch of the Incan road leading to Machu Picchu. A rite of passage for many visitors to Peru, the Inca Trail is a strenuous, 4-day trek from the Sacred Valley floor through cloud forest and jungle, traversing high mountain passes that test both mind and body. The end of the trail is the aptly-named Sun Gate, where a first misty glimpse of the lost city of Machu Picchu is made all the more meaningful when the journey was fueled by your own sweat and determination.

My friend Jon and I have been hypothesizing heavily on the Big Daddies and how they're 'born'.
We've come up with some reasonable suggestions, but more than anything we're interested in the extremely 'personal' aspect of having one of the story 'paths' be to stumble across a laboratory of sorts, perhaps automated, and being modified. Your character would black out, and upon awakening stumble around a bit inside this room, where eventually you'd happen across a closet filled with one or two different models of the iconic and ever-distinct suit that makes up the Big Daddy's appearance.
We further spoke about this after spending a session viewing the screenshots on the Cult's website--and seeing a shot we'd seen before, albeit in a far higher resolution here.
"Look at that Rosie," I said. "Doesn't it look--I dunno, nervous?"
Something about that picture, the way the characters are stanced, has a distinct feel of the Little Sister examining the Big Daddy extremely carefully, perhaps gazing in the visor, to make sure he was "authentic".
Just a thought.
Discuss your thoughts on the idea of becoming a Big Daddy--it's too late to be implemented in the game if it isn't in there already, but it's fun to dream.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's no secret that Orlando's current rebuilding process will lean heavily on its ability to develop and get production from its younger players.
After nearly a month of swallowing bitter lessons during a season-worst string of losses, the Magic's youth played a big role in helping them finally break out of their haze.
J.J. Redick scored 22 points, and Nikola Vucevic added 17 points and 19 rebounds as Orlando snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 110-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.
The Magic shot 50 per cent from the field in earning their first win since Jan. 16. Jameer Nelson added 10 points and a career-high 15 assists, and reserve Gustavo Ayon also tied a career-high with 16 points to go along with 11 rebounds for the Magic.
"When teams made runs over the last X-amount of games, we kind of shut down a little bit," Nelson said. "Tonight we didn't, we were up and they cut it to three or four. We just kept playing our game. We played well enough to win tonight."
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 25 points. Nicolas Batum added 19 points and Wesley Matthews chipped in 17.
The Blazers, who have lost three in a row, fell to 1-7 in their last eight road games. They still have two more road games this week before the All-Star break.
After seeing his 30-point scoring night go for naught in his team's loss to Houston on Friday, Aldridge tried to defer more to his teammates at times Sunday.
It did little to draw out a better defensive effort, however.
Portland turned it over 14 times, leading to 18 points on the other end by Orlando. The Magic also got into the paint at will, outscoring the Blazers 60-46 on the inside and 15-6 on second-chance opportunities.
Part of the reason was how well Orlando's big men played. In addition to his scoring and rebounding, Ayon he also helped to open things up offensively with six assists. One pass was particular highlight-worthy, with the second-year big man finding rookie Andrew Nicholson in the lane with a no-look, behind-the-back pass.
What made the game particularly impressive was that Ayon had not scored more than four points or had more than two rebounds in any of the Magic's previous five games.
"The NBA is like that, and you have to forget about the game before," Ayon said. "You have to think about the game that's coming up."
His impact on Sunday was not lost on Portland.
"He has good basketball instincts and he was physical on the boards," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "He was aggressive. He did a little bit of everything."
Guard play was also slanted heavily in the Magic's favour with Nelson's assist total overshadowing a 12-assist night by Portland point guard Damian Lillard, who also shot a dismal 1 for 16 from the field.
Orlando held a 79-72 lead entering the final quarter but had to push back against multiple attempts at a run by the Blazers down the stretch.
Portland closed to 103-95 with less than 3 minutes to play, but the Magic answered with a 3-pointer by Redick and a layup by Ayon to push the cushion back to 13 with just over a minute remaining.
Redick returned to action Sunday after missing three consecutive games with a sore right shoulder and instantly injected some energy into the Magic's lineup.
Usually most effective with his outside shot, Redick did his scoring with a variety of cuts to the basket and layups off fast breaks. He attempted only a pair of 3-pointers through the first three quarters, but still managed 17 points over that span.
The Magic led by as many as nine late in the second quarter before Batum went on a one-man 11-2 scoring run to tie it. Orlando responded with a 9-3 run to end the half, taking a 55-49 lead into the locker room.
Now a game under .500 and stuck in the No. 9 position in the West, it is a tenuous time for the Blazers, who next head to Miami on Tuesday before concluding their road trip at New Orleans on Wednesday.
"There are things that we can fix. If things were going south, that means guys are not playing hard and we think that we are better than we are," Lillard said. "We have spurts that we just let down and teams take advantage of it."
The Magic play their next two at home, where they have nine of their victories this season.
It's no secret that they want to hold onto their feeling from Sunday night.
"You always want to see the fruits of your labour and in this business it's wins and losses and it's just good for the guys' psyche overall," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "But we've stayed firm in our approach and guys have been unbelievable throughout this process.
"I think they see their hard work and the lessons that they're learning along the way, they'll add up for us."
Notes: Orlando is the second straight opponent to shoot at least 50 per cent against Portland. ... Nicholson was chosen to replace injured Detroit C Andre Drummond in the Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star weekend in Houston. He joins Vucevic, who will play on the opposing team in the game. Asked if he was concerned about either player on his injury-riddled team getting hurt, Vaughn replied, "That's a nightly prayer."... Magic F Hedo Turkoglu missed his third straight game with flu-like symptoms. ... Hall of Famer Julius Erving was in attendance Sunday night.

In this age of social media, we would know if they were recruiting him again. Montae went on 4 officials already - Msu, fsu, Pitt, Oregon. He is scheduled to be back at Msu next week. We need to Stop that and make his last official the osu game. |
6 weeks 3 days ago | Agree about montae |
If we have additional scholarships - then we need to go back after Nicholson |
6 weeks 6 days ago | Most of this was made official yesterday |
The only exceptions on here are Florida in 2017 and Ball State in 2018. Everything else was confirmed by UM yesterday. |
9 weeks 1 day ago | Ferns tape impressive |
great ability to get off blocks and does not miss tackles |
9 weeks 1 day ago | Most scalpers I have ever seen |
I got tickets on StubHub in the summer, and I overpaid immensely. In my defense, I drive in from Pittsburgh, and stay the whole weekend, so I don't want to take any chances. I have been to about 25 games in the past 15 years and I have never seen so many scalpers and low ticket prices. No exaggeration - there were easily 50 scalpers in the Crisler/Big House entrance trying to get rid of several tickets each for dirt cheap. Also - that stadium was quite empty. There were two seats next to me empty, two seats next to my buddy were empty. There were 3 seats in front of us empty (all in section 4). |
10 weeks 22 min ago | I was at the 2005 game.. |
What a depressing drive back to Pittsburgh that was. And I am going to the game this Saturday, so history better not repeat itself. |

11 weeks 1 day ago | Ferns comment |
I went to the St Clairsville - Martins Ferry game on Friday night. I concur with Mr. Ferns - Michael had a great game. On offense, he ran the ball hard and caught a pass from the tight end position. On defense, he was either in on the tackle, or completely filled his gap so his team could make the tackle. He got hurt in the middle of the 3rd quarter, but came back on the last few drives of the game. I was at the game with my two sons, and we all had Michigan gear on (in the heart of osu territory). After the game, he came over to us and talked to us for a few minutes. The next day, my son sent a tweet to him, and he responded back. Class act all the way - great football player - better person. |
15 weeks 22 hours ago | Worst news ever |
I know Montae's family personally, and was really pulling for him to come to Michigan. He is a great kid - both on and off the football field - wish him all the best. I could sense UM was pressuring him to commit, and I think that turned him off. He wants to wait, take his officials - who can blame him. PSU, Pitt and Oregon have to to be the leaders for him at this point. Things change - I am still holding out hope. |
15 weeks 4 days ago | Section 4, Row 4 |
I will be in Section 4, row 4 with my 3 kids. We go to the home opener every year. This will be my youngest's first Michigan football game (age 4). We will take in the golf course tailgating before hand and be in the stadium in plenty of time to see the band. We are driving from Pittsburgh on Friday night - will be the best weekend of the year. Can't wait - tick.....tick....tick |
19 weeks 15 hours ago | Completely agree |
Completely agree |

1. Malik McDowell 2. De'Shawn Hand 3. Montae Nicholson 4. Parrker Westphal 5. Leonard Fournette 6. late 3 star diamond in the rough 7. late 3 star diamond in the rough Overall standing, #2 |
22 weeks 1 day ago | Get an engineering professor on line 1 |
Nicholson will major in (civil) engineering in college. UM had a professor make a huge impression on Hand when he was on campus. Let's do the same for Nicholson at the BBQ this month or on Sept 7. |
26 weeks 1 day ago | Any Chicago Rivals news? |
Any updates from the Chicago Rivals camp this past weekend? I saw a picture of Ferns, Jenkins, Nicholson from the PIT airport. Hopefully Ferns was working his magic to get in the ear of some local Pittsburgh kids. I saw Hand got an MVP award - anything else of note? |
26 weeks 6 days ago | No news on Montae |
I likewise am surprised about the lack of attention Nicholson gets on the board, as I think he would be a huge get. He is taking his recruiting at a very methodical pace. He has announced no timetable nor no top list among his 30 offers. He did nothing in the spring because of track (where he fared very well). He did ok at the Pittsburgh rivals camp, he blew up the Columbus camp (MVP), he is going to at Chicago rivals camp this week, and will be at The Opening later this summer. I see him flying up the boards as he finishes up these camps. He wants to take all his 5 official visits (I thinkg Oregon and Stanford have him intrigued). The good news is he has stated one visit will be in Ann Arbor for the ND game. Michigan coaches were at his high school a few weeks ago, so they are still pursuing him. I know his family likes the Michigan coaches the best. |
27 weeks 21 hours ago | Agree on Ferns being college ready |
I have met Ferns in person - he is by no means skinny. The word ROCK comes to mind. I have never seen a high school junior built like him. |
27 weeks 1 day ago | Nicholson got an invite too |
Don't forget Montae Nicholson from Michigan also got an invite - he is a possible future commit. He is being recruited as a safety, went to the Columbus camp, and got an MVP award - as a WR! That shows the athleticism of this kid. I think he is on par with Westphal, Smith, Jackson and would be a great addition to the class. Also - I agree - I think an invite for Ferns is coming, as he had a big day in c-bus. |
27 weeks 2 days ago | Always great to get the WPIAL kids to UM |
Being from Pittsburgh, I get really excited when the local kids commit to Michigan. Last year it was Kugler, this year Chase. Now we need to get Nicholson in the fold too. |
28 weeks 4 days ago | Thanks for the inside info |
I plan to go to both the CMU and Minn games, and I prefer 330 pm start dates when I go to the games, as the tailgating is better. So here are best guesses on game times: CMU - 330 ND - 8 Akron - noon UConn - 330 Minn - 330 PSU - 5 Indiana - noon MSU - 330 Nebraska - 330 NW - 330 Iowa - 330 OSU - noon |
29 weeks 15 hours ago | Love it |
Huge Raiders fan - was so excited to see him go to Raiders in 98. Was so sad to see him leave Oakland a few years ago. Now over-joyed to see him finish his career in the silver and black. I can wear my Raiders gear with pride - for the first time in years. |
29 weeks 6 days ago | As a Raiders fan, |
I can only shake my head about this, and wonder why the Raiders always mess up their 1st round draft picks.The only one they got right in the past 15 years is Woodson. |
30 weeks 19 hours ago | Ugh is right |
Worst conference schedule ever - UM should play MSU, Indiana and OSU twice every year. Then the one-off games can rotate every year. |
30 weeks 6 days ago | Kudos to Bradley |
Can't believe PSU is getting such a big talent to visit with all their sanctions. Still go to like our chances here though - cancelling the Stanford visit is huge. They were thought to be the only other serious contender. |
31 weeks 4 hours ago | Don't forget to post a Hello for |
Taylor and Bullock too |
31 weeks 5 days ago | At least one game every year since 1997 |
By my count, I have been to at least one game every year since 1997. Most years I have been to two. 1997 - OSU (win) 1998 - PSU, Wisky (both wins) 1999 - ND, OSU (both wins) 2000 - BG (win) 2001 - Miami (win) 2002 - Washington (win) 2003 - Purdue (win) 2004 - Iowa (win) 2005 - Minnesota (loss) 2006 - MSU (win) 2007 - Oregon (loss) 2008 - Illinois (loss) 2009 - Indiana (win) 2010 - UConn, Iowa (win, loss) 2011 - WMU, ND (both wins) 2012 - Air Force, MSU (both wins) My first game was the best experience - beating OSU, staying undefeated, going to the Rose Bowl - doesn't get better than that. So I have been to 21 games, with a 17-4 record while in attendance. |

31 weeks 5 days ago | Nicholson |
Don't think that Nicholson is just an afterthought here. I saw him at the Pitt Rivals Camp last week - we want this kid. His being recruited as a safety, but he could play CB too. He has over 30 offers, and is taking his time. He has been on campus 3 times, and will likely be back in the fall when he makes his officials. If he wants to commit - the coaches will find a spot for him (even if Peppers and Westphal commit by then) - I think Nicholson is that good. |
34 weeks 35 min ago | Assumptions |
I guess Lunardi is assuming McGary, Robinson (maybe Hardaway) are coming back? No was we are a 2 seed if all 4 of them leave. |

Satish Acharya is a cartoonist in Mumbai
Tell us what you think. Send us your feedback
© ESPN Sports Media Ltd.
Good one. They really should be scared of him (for what tornado he has blown on batsmen)
One of the best works by Satish after a couple of disappointing ones. Back to form, eh? :-)
Sunil Narine is perfect here. Almost like a camera pic. Good Work!
Haahahaha Awesomee Satish
well done satish... reflects the state of fear he has imposed on batsmen...
whuzzwhuzz, I agree that no one is above the law... but it is not fair to have one law for some and another law for others....
If the Gaurds stopped the owner of Mumbai Indian from entering the stadium without ID, they would be permanently banned from the stadium for the rest of the lives .....
It is safe to say the Gaurds knew exactly who Shah Ruhk was and either took it upon themselves or had orders to give Shah Ruhk trouble....
Even is Shah Ruhk had ID on him, the mere fact that they would stop him and run him through security was obviously a treatment meted out especially for him.
I do not believe the owner of the MI team would be even asked for ID or put through scanners at the stadium.
Factu.. FActu.... Factu.....!!!
Very well done Satish!! Too hilarious....
Ha ha ha ha.. Good one!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Brilliant! With this request pending approval by the Wankhede committee, Harbhajan should also speak with Narine to learn a few things like how to bowl spin with flight and guile.

Those in support of this expansion cannot be fiscally conservative whatever party you claim to associate yourself with. I have $500 less a month net since January 1st.

Italian Wine Carafe Handmade of Recycled Glass
Thankfully just because a person wants to be green and support recycling doesn't mean they have to compromise on style and quality. This Italian Carafe and set of wine glasses is a great example of having the best of both worlds. Handmade of recycled glass in Portland, this set is processed in an electric furnace that's powered 100% by eco-friendly wind power. No two pieces are the same but they all have the beautiful foggy white color variations and charming, slightly misshapen organic appeal. Get the carafe alone for $174, or with a set of 4 glasses for $370.

Like the fake Indian woman who practices law without a license. Maybe the can elect a transgender or an ex drug addict like Obama. Wouldn´t that be lovely? Ain´t going to spend money in Massachusetts anymore that´s for sure.

The UC San Diego men's soccer team has gone through its peaks and valleys this season and is currently .500 on the season (8-8 overall / 7-7 CCAA). On a team with no seniors and laden with underclassmen, sophomore Cory Wolfrom has become a stalwart in the midfield for Jon Pascale's squad. Wolfrom currently leads the Tritons with five assists on the season and has accounted for five points in UCSD's last three games. Prior to his team's final two regular season matches against San Francisco State and Cal Poly Pomona, Wolfrom dropped in to discuss how his team has put this season in perspective, how his role has changed and teammate Andrew Keimach's mustache. Q-This year's team is a very young. You have no seniors and a majority of your starters are sophomores and juniors. How do you think youth plays a role on this team and what's it like knowing that you're going to have most of your players back next year? WOLFROM-We all have a great bond. Last year was a bit tough between all the seniors and underclassmen because there was that junior year with no one there. We were definitely waiting for this year to happen and of course we're looking forward to being back next year. We want to do well this year because however well we do this year, we're going to improve upon it next year because it's the exact same team. It feels good, we look at each other and we all know we're young. We're going up against a bigger, older force, but during the game we don't think about it. It's definitely one of those unspoken things on our team. We're those young guys, let's go prove something. Q-It's fair to say this year has been a little up and down for your team. You had a three-game winning streak, followed by a four-game losing streak, and then you came back to beat Humboldt State and the CCAA North's top team Sonoma State last weekend. How has the team put this season in perspective and what's the mindset going into the final weekend? WOLFROM-Those three weekends were rough, we don't like to talk about them. Going into that weekend (at Chico State, October 7) we knew we had a good chance, but those games are going to come back and bite you. After every game, after every one of those, you just kind of have that sluggish feeling of like, "Oh man, that's going to bite us in the end." And it happened. The only thing we could do was stay positive. We love playing at home, there's that feeling about being at home with the fans that definitely helps. We're definitely looking forward to our final two home games. We'll be going at it, everyone will be out there working their butts off. The early goal is key for us. If we can score early, we can be dangerous.
Q-You've moved around in the midfield somewhat this year, but have been used mainly on the outside. What's the midfield's role in your team's 4-4-2 and how do you see your role within the team? WOLFROM-On defense, my job is to force the other team to the middle where we can compress and attack them in the center of the field. If it gets out wide, I'm coming to back-tackle their opposing forward with our outside back. So our outside back stops him from turning and forces him to go back into me so it's a double team right there. On the attack for me, I get wide. If I do get wide, it opens up space in the midfield for me to check-in and then combine with the center midfielders to get forward and get behind the defense. Then, find those gaps when they're not paying attention and play it
