A spooky new view of the ongoing on location UK filming of the stage-to-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's fairy tale-themed musical is now available to peruse, featuring a spectacular set and an even more impressive array of stars on hand to enact the various scenes being filmed.
Chris Pine as Cinderella's Prince, James Corden as the Baker and Emily Blunt as the Baker's Wife were all spotted on location committing to film an elaborately decorated street scene erected in Hambledon, UK, earlier this week, highlighted by a richly detailed and evocative scenic design.
Today, lucky onlookers shared shots from the set via social media, featuring both a peek at the day filming and the particularly atmospheric night shoot, as well.
Stylist Flora Moody also provided yet another update from the make-up trailer, showcasing the lush greenery of the surrounding woods.
Additionally, Johnny Depp has been spotted around London sporting a striking new blond hairstyle reportedly acting as part of his new look for playing the Wolf in INTO THE WOODS, as well, though no pictures of the actor in full costume have leaked yet.
Plus, Jack himself, Daniel Huttlestone, shared a pic of himself from the set late last week.

TOP-performing students at Oakbank School have been rewarded for their achievements.
Leading pupils from each year group were treated to a free lunch, and the top 13 from across the school had afternoon tea with their parents and were presented with certificates and prizes.
Students from the school's accelerated readers programme were also rewarded – there were pizza lunches, and for the top 40 from years seven and eight, a trip to the Picture House in Keighley to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. Overall 'stars' Zara Bell, of year seven, and Rimsha Khatoon from year eight each won an e-reader.
"It is fantastic to be able to celebrate our students' success – we feel it is extremely important to acknowledge their achievements throughout their time at school," said Hannah Borkala, Oakbank's event and marketing officer.
"This year alone over 800 students have received some form of recognition for their commitment and hard work and we are very proud."


text: Politics 6 July 2011 On no account let "Ed be Ed" If Ed Miliband tries to be himself, he will be a disaster. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Aaron Sorkin has a lot to answer for. Ever since he penned episode nineteen of the West Wing progressive politics has echoed to a familiar cry: "Let [insert name of struggling liberal politician] be [repeat name of struggling liberal politician]". As Ed Miliband wearily takes up arms against his latest sea of troubles, so the plea rings out once more . "He should sack any adviser who tells him to be anything other than himself", the New Statesman's Mehdi Hasan told the Independent. "He needs to "speak human" once again, and show he's not just another politician", said Labour List's Mark Ferguson. There are two problems with this. The first is that Ed Miliband is just that:a politician. It's all he's ever been. As far as I'm aware, apart with flirting with the idea of playing for Leeds United, (one of the few career paths more treacherous than being leader of the Labour Party), that's just about all he's ever wanted to be. Ed's problem isn't that the public see him as a politician. It's that at the moment they see him as a bad politician. According to the latest poll of polls he's now running behind Iain Duncan-Smith in terms of voter satisfaction. To be fair, he's also running ahead of Michael Howard, William Hague and Michael Foot at a comparable time in their leaderships. But then none of them had a cat in hell's chance of becoming Prime Minister When people ask Ed Miliband "not to be just another politician" what exactly do they mean? Be an extraordinary politician. Another Churchill, or Roosevelt? A Gandhi? "Ed, we know you don't do huskies. But have you thought about a salt march?" Or do they mean pretend to be something entirely different? Ed Miliband the florist. Ed Miliband the check out assistant. Ed Miliband the cabbie: "I 'ad that Progressive Majority in the back the other day. They all wanted to go to north London." Ed Miliband is a career politician. No amount of pool playing or reminiscing about his dad's removal business is going to change that. The public may not be paying much attention to Labour at the moment, but they're not wandering around in blindfolds. Which leads to the second problem. If Ed Milband is going to be a politician's politician, what sort of politician should that be? Sorkin would say a bold one. Or at least, Leo McGarry, his fictional chief of staff would: "Our ground game isn't working; we're gonna put the ball in the air. If we're gonna walk into walls, I want us running into them full-speed." Somehow, I can't quite see those words emanating from Lucy Powell. Actually, I can. But I can't see Ed endorsing them: "Look Lucy, that's a little bit aggressive. I want to move away from that sort of politics. Do we have to run into the wall? Can't we just find a way of going round it. Or taking it down? Carefully. With well paid, decomodified labourers?" The harsh truth is that if we let Bartlett be Bartlett, he'll be a disaster. In the same way that all politicians who try to be themselves court disaster. John Major's handlers sent him off to Iraq before the 1992 general election and had him posing in the desert with a machine gun and the victorious British troops of Desert Storm. He triumphed at the subsequent election. As soon as they let him be himself he started banging on about out old maids, bicycles and warm beer, and got annihilated. How different would British political history have been if Alastair Campbell hadn't ensured Tony Blair kept his mouth shut about religion? Or allowed him to wear that vest? Let Ed be Ed makes for a great line, but lousy politics. I'm not sure that Labour would be in a better place if it's leader had decided to stick with his pledge to back Ken Clarke's sentencing reforms. Or that his recent highly praised speech on welfare reform would have contained the same sense of purpose had he followed his natural sensibilities and excised passages on those who "dodge their responsibilities" and "cheat". "We'd all like to say what we think", one back bench MP told me the other day. "It'd be great. I'd love to wonder around mouthing off about every issue that took my fancy. But we've got to show responsibility. Ed's got to show responsibility." It's easy for Ed to be Ed. The hard part is for Ed to be Labour leader. And harder still for him to be Prime Minsiter. If being yourself was the criteria for leadership, we'd all be leading the Labour party. But thankfully, it's not. Bartlett was a creation. A fictional character specifically constructed by a writer who knew his favoured brand of radical liberalism couldn't reach the White House any other way. Forget Bartlett.

Medical marijuana bill likely on Mass. ballots this November
BOSTON -- "Mary Jane" is a bad nurse, according to opponents of legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Three bills debated by the Massachusetts Legislature this session would expand the use of pot in the commonwealth. One would legalize the drug outright, and the other two would approve medicinal use.
The bill to legalize marijuana in general had a hearing and its fate has not yet been announced. The Legislative bill that would legalize medicinal use has been sent back to committee for further study. That bill was prompted by a citizens initiative petition and would seek to create 35 marijuana distribution centers across the state. Its hearing was held April 10. If the Legislature fails to act on it, proponents can gather 11,500 signatures in order to place the measure on the Massachusetts ballot in November.
"We believe that it's unlikely that the Legislature would pass any of these radical bills with an election coming up in a few months," said Kristian Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute.
Mineau added that since marijuana is illegal under federal law, opponents are seeking legal remedies to keep the petition off the ballot. If that effort fails, voters will likely have their say in November. If the legislation passes, Massachusetts would become the 17th state to approve marijuana for medicinal use.

PARIS – In her recent book on the origins of World War I, The War That Ended Peace, Margaret MacMillan concludes that the only thing one can say with certainty about its causes is that leadership matters. No one really wanted war, but no one knew how to oppose it, because great statesmen like Germany's Otto von Bismarck, whose self-restraint preserved peace in Europe for decades, were missing in Europe in 1914. A similar leadership void has become palpable in recent behavior by Russia and China.
In the run-up to WWI, political and military leaders failed to grasp how industrial production and mass transportation had altered the character of warfare. The American Civil War should have served as a warning for Europeans. But a Europe that considered itself the center of the world, exporting its rivalries to Africa and Asia in the name of a "civilizing mission," was utterly incapable of paying attention to the harsh lessons of the New World.
Today, neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor Chinese President Xi Jinping seem to have learned those lessons, either. In Ukraine, Russia must choose what kind of relationship it wants to have with Europe. If Ukraine returns to the Kremlin's orbit, whether through direct reintegration or some kind of "Finlandization," Russia will end up reenacting an old European problem: like France from 1643 to 1815 and Wilhelmine Germany, it will be both "too much" for its neighbors and "not enough" for its ambitions.
Leaving aside why Russia should want to pay so much money to sustain a Ukrainian regime that is even more corrupt and dysfunctional than its own, Ukraine, with a territory greater than France and a population of 45 million, is the de facto linchpin of Europe's geopolitical equilibrium. Unlike Poland three times in the eighteenth century, there can be no question of partition, with western Ukraine joining Europe and the country's east returning to Russia. As a result, Ukraine's civilizational choice – between a democratic European Union and an autocratic Russia – will necessarily have major strategic consequences for the entire European continent.

I realize that I spend a lot of time whining about being in a long distance relationship. I'm working on it, I really am. I've been trying, quite hard this week, to remain positive about this situation. When I do my best to focus on the positives, I realize that there are actually good things, for me (at least right now) about being in a long distance relationship. One of things that my counselor and I discussed recently was the fact that for me, at the stage of my life I'm in right now, being in a long distance relationshp is actually pretty beneficial.
– Time apart gives me plenty of time to "work on me". I'm still in the process of getting my act (and my life together). I know that if CBG and I were in the same city, we'd be together as much as possible. The fact that we have these "forced times apart" gives me time and opportunity to do some deep thinking, spend some time healing, and just generally take care of myself. Right now I still very much need that.
– Time apart allows me to reflect on our relationship. I'm no relationship expert, that's for sure. I made my fair share of mistakes in my marriage, mistakes that I'm still figuring out, still understanding, still trying to make better. Hopefully, having lots of time to think (but not OVERthink) about my relationship with CBG will help me to ensure that it's better
– Time apart gives me lots of dedicated time with my girls. Of course, they love CBG (and why shouldn't they!) but for right now, I love that I still have them "all to myself" most of the time. Selfish, I know…but it allows me to work on maintaining a close relationship with them, which is #1 on my priority list.
– Time apart gives me plenty of alone time. This was discussed on T's Quest just this week – this whole idea of finding balance between "I" and "we". Of course, given the choice, I would certainly prefer spending more time with CBG. But since that's not possible, I'm able to appreciate the fact that I have more than enough alone time, just to do my own thing, hang out with my friends, or whatever.
– Because we are apart, it allows me to work on my independence. I was with my exhusband for 10 years. He and I very much had a parent-child type of relationship, with him in the parent role. This created a situation where I leaned far too heavily on him for everything – advice, support, guidance. Being in a position where I need to rely on myself – my own judgment, my own resources, my own inner strength – for possibly the first time in my life, is a very good thing for me. I am finding strength in places that I never imagined I would.
– Time apart helps us to appreciate our time together even more. There's nothing sweeter than that first hug after having spent a couple of weeks apart. He and I are so busy enjoying our time and appreciating each other that there's little time for anything else. We have yet to have an "argument", even. We've certainly had some very serious and upsetting (though calm and rational) conversations, but as far as argue, it just hasn't happened (though realistically I know that eventually it will). For now I will enjoy this stage that we are in, something that I think has a lot to do with the fact that we both recognize how precious our time is together.
Naturally, given the choice, I would change our circumstances in a heartbeat. But since that's something that isn't going to happen right now, I need to accept this place that we are at in our relationship, and while I'm at it, I might as well appreciate the good that is there in our situation.
There is good in everything. The key is making the choice to go looking for it, when it isn't always so obvious.

Okay. I have a tough admission to make: I really like the first trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey. The secret is that I came to the table with A) low expectations and B) the only hope that it would be fun. And it is fun! Jamie Dornan is going to be interesting as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson actually seems like a decent, true-to-the-book Ana Steele. We already knew her hair was going to be a f—king mess (and it really is because BANGS and a bad dye job), but everything else looks good. That's how I imagined Christian's apartment. That's how I pictured Ana Steele. The music helps too – it's sexy. And you can hear Beyonce moaning, I guess. Here's the trailer:
See? It's not bad at all. It will be fun. I'm sure the 50 Shades-loonies will nit-pick and find a reason to be disappointed, but as far as pop culture general interest goes, this might be better than expected. Here's another admission: I thought the elevator kiss was HOT. Jamie Dornan. Unf. But Christian walking around shirtless, in jeans? I chuckled a little bit. Seriously you guys, this is going to be such a fun movie to hate-watch.

Mayhem # 539698
About Me
Im not a model, just someone driven towards being one.If you go directly to my portfolio you might be inclined to think Im full of myself. However, all of those photographs were taken for a reality TV pilot called Alpha Male, so please cut me some slack..
I co-own a private gym in Rockland County, NY, dedicated to enhancing athletic performance through speed, strength, flexibility and conditioning training. However, I also focus on getting clients (models, actors, entertainers, and weekend warriors) into the best possible shape through unconventional workouts (the bodies most of us want, are those on professional athletes, so why not train like one!!) coupled with a practical approach to nutrition.
Im very approachable, so if you a creative person of good intent, please feel free to contact me. I am open to comments and compliments but pretty much ignore or politely decline anything I find not to be in good taste. That means creative and artistic are in; buck naked in a bathtub is probably out (just my preference - no disrespect).
As far as modeling/acting what I lack in experience I make up for with a sense of professionalism and an ability to adapt.

Expanding Educational Opportunities
The International Grains Program announces the 2014 course schedule.
MANHATTAN, Kan. — In looking ahead to the new year, Kansas State University's International Grains Program faculty and staff are excited to announce the educational opportunities planned for 2014. Building on the tradition of providing offerings featuring state-of-the-art trainings in the areas of feed manufacturing and grain management, grain marketing and risk management, and flour milling and grain processing, IGP faculty will be expanding its distance options.
"We are excited about the course offerings for 2014," says Mark Fowler, IGP associate director. "We strive to be the pulse of industry training by adapting our programs to meet its changing needs."
The 2014 schedule features the IGP standard courses, and builds on the momentum that was set in 2013, according to Fowler.
"Going into 2014, we hope to continue to build on the growth and success that we've had in the past few years," Fowler says. "We want to make a positive impact by expanding the scope of our course offerings."
A growth area has been in the distance learning curriculum. IGP offered its first introduction to flour milling distance course in 2011 and has offered it ever since. For the 2014 distance learning, IGP will be offering many courses for the first time.
"We are particularly excited about the expansion of the distance learning curriculum," Fowler says. "We are anxious to build our IGP distance courses as well as build partnerships with other organizations."
These adaptations are in response to the ever-changing needs of the industry, Fowler says. He adds, "IGP, as a part of the Department of Grain Science and Industry, offers a long history of serving the industry and holds a future mission to continue to provide a world-class experience for all of our course participants through our state-of the-art facilities and exceptional faculty who are on the leading edge of grain processing and storage."
To view the full schedules for on-site trainings and distance offerings, see the following pages. For more information or to register for either platform, visit IGP online at www.grains.k-state.edu/IGP. For on-site training questions, contact the IGP program coordinator at 785-532-4070.

"The negotiations adjourned today (Thursday) at 1am and will continue again at 1pm," Road Freight Employers' Association spokesperson Magretia Brown-Engelbrecht said in a recorded message on her cellphone. She was not immediately available for further details. SA Transport and Allied Workers' Union spokesperson Vincent Masoga said unions and employers would consult separately among themselves before returning to negotiations. In parts of the country trucks had been pelted with stones and set alight as the strike entered its second week. Pranksters sparked panic by sending out messages claiming additional attacks and marches. Drivers want a 12% salary increase while employers offered 8.5% for next year, and another 0.5% the following year.*Follow Fin24 on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.

Bolton boss Dougie Freedman 'disappointed with the outcome'
Dougie Freedman tried to focus on the positives after his players missed out on a play-off spot on goal difference.
Last Updated: 05/05/13 8:05am
His Trotters drew 2-2 with Blackpool at the Reebok, only to be denied by Leicester who notched a late winner in a five-goal thriller against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
All the goals at Bolton came in the first half with Matt Phillips and Ludo Sylvestre firing the Seasiders into a two-goal lead before Chris Eagles and Craig Davies hit back for the hosts with a brace in time added on.
And Freedman said: "Yes, I'm disappointed with the outcome but I thought we stuck at it, went for the throat and we were very unfortunate not to win the game of football.
"It was a difficult start for us but the lads responded fantastically well. The momentum was with us in the second half, we kept on asking questions of Blackpool's defence and I thought we had two or three opportunities to win the game.
"Credit to the lads for their performance over the 90 minutes. It's not to be but we have shown fantastic spirit and character and bits of quality along this three-month period which shows me there are a lot of positives looking forward.
"We had an ear on the other game and one minute it's not going for you, the next minute it is for you.
"I felt that we set out for the win and we continued doing that until the 90th minute. Along the way there were a lot of bumps and rides but that's football.
"That game taught me something in terms of my players, it taught me what action we've got to take over the summer and there's no doubt we will be taking action.
"I want to be leaving behind this season, leaving behind this game and looking forward to an active summer with the possibility of bringing one or two in and having a good pre-season."

I am 41 years old, I have never wanted children and I still don't want children ("It takes guts to say: 'I don't want children"', Polly Vernon, Comment, last week). I have a wonderful, fulfilled life with my partner doing exactly what I want when I want. I do not find babies cute and do not hanker after one of my own.
Do I have lots of friends? Not of my own age, no. They are all mothers who only ever seem to talk about poo, never go anywhere and never seem to have anything interesting to say. I do have friends, however, whose children are grown up and can now live a proper life.
Am I selfish? No more so than the woman who wants a child only to gratify herself and her longing; did she have a child because she wanted it or because the child wanted to be born? Whose needs was she thinking of? So I am treated as weird because I don't want to destroy my life and my mother is treated with pity because she doesn't have grandchildren. I don't judge you because you chose to have children, so don't judge me because I don't.
Siggy Parratt-Halbert
Intake, Doncaster
I very much enjoyed Polly Vernon's article. All week, I've been reading reports of studies of the health risks women take by leaving childbearing "too late". The doctors involved consistently state that they don't believe women fully understand the higher risks of childbearing in their late thirties and early forties; if they did, surely every woman in Britain would forego her career and/or the relative freedom of youth in order to promptly reproduce in her twenties.
Yet not all women want children as desperately as some would like us to believe; many decide that postponing reproduction until they are confident they would be good parents is worth any potential risk.
It's irresponsible to encourage women to reproduce before they're ready "in case they change their mind": surely, no one would wish to subject their child to growing up with a parent who resents them for causing them to lose their body/youth/freedom. Whether women choose to have children should be on their own terms; future generations will grow up happier and healthier with less emotional baggage from their parents.
Jess Polsom-Jenkins
editor, the Antagonist
As a father of three daughters, I applaud Polly Vernon's choice of childlessness. I have never understood the accusation that women who don't want children are more selfish than those who do. There are only two reasons for producing offspring: the active desire to have children or irresponsible sex with undesirable results. Both are intrinsically selfish. My wife and I certainly didn't have ours because we felt we owed it to the world to procreate; we did so because we selfishly wanted some.
Anyone who says they don't want kids should be free and proud to do so. It's better for them, it's better for parents, it's better for the wanted children who already exist and it's better for a healthier, happier society.
Joe Lacey
Barnet, Hertfordshire
Just in case Polly Vernon is inundated with emails accusing her of being selfish, let me tell you an apparent secret: having children is not an altruistic act at all, but a deeply self-gratifying one. I know this because I am a mother.
Vivien Fraser
London N1
I work with a team of women, all in their 30s and 40s and only two of us have children. We never think about it. My closest friend (48) has chosen not to have children. She doesn't feel vilified for it - she just gets on with her life. In the real world, most people don't actually care that much.
So, Polly, relax. You don't want children, that's fine. Get over it and write something else please.

Yeah I've made up my mind that if I can't get a good lower level seat then I'm not going. We had good lower level seats for the Bellator show in Houston last year and still found myself watching the big screen most of the time to see what the hell was going on(when Gracie kneed Shamrock in the balls I didn't even see it, I thought maybe Shamrock broke his arm or something). I couldn't imagine going through all the trouble to sit up in the nosebleeds. If I lived right around the corner from the stadium I guess it would be different but seems like a waste to go through all the trouble to sit up there and watch the jumbo tron.
I could do without the commentary though. Sometimes I wish there was an option to just turn off commentary when watching PPV's, with technology the way it is nowadays I don't see why they don't do this already. I prefer to hear the crowd, the cornermen, and the sounds of the fight. People babbling over that kinda kills it for me sometimes.
I had been thinking about this for a bit but never posted it, did anyone find it suspicious that Overeem developed "food poisoning" and needed IV fluids to be able to face Mark Hunt? We all know Hunt is suing the UFC and was campaigning for stipulations/penalties against Overeem if he were to fail a drug test. What can IV fluids do? Mask drugs, which is why they are banned without a TUE.
Just a thought.

Man I've got so much heat with JBL for this Mauro Renallo nonsense. How does that all even go down in a professional company like WWE? Can't forget about him shooting on Public Enemy over goofy backstage politics, then shooting on the lovable dancing comedy act of ECW and bloodying the dude's face. Now he's bullying the Joey Styles of Pride. I'm officially challenging him to a shoot fight backyard bareknuckle Kimbo Slice style, winner gets the rights to the video footage.
This was a good article about Renallo published on Sherdog a while back(before he got the WWE job):
Mauro Ranallo lays supine in a white gown, on white sheets, in a white sterile room, and yet he feels the darkness creeping up on the edges of his face. His heart beats its way up his throat, as his heavy eyelids blink at the ceiling and he wonders if it is strong enough to hold him. The extreme tells his mind to slow down, to ease up and breathe, and a chill overwhelms him. The cursing echoes, thankfully, have been heard: "You're a real son of a bitch, a coward, for taking the easy way out. How can you do that to your family?" And he pulls back from that edge, curls up and cries.
Ranallo, the acclaimed Showtime boxing broadcaster whose lengthy career behind the mic includes MMA and professional wrestling, thought about killing himself many times, just like he did that terrible night in a Toronto hospital while pushing back his inner demons. He has visualized his death a number of times, seeing in his mind the passing funeral procession of cars and people paying tribute in a surreal celebration of who he was and what he had done. He has wept often during the war he waged and won not that long ago against an opponent he always sees though will never defeat -- himself.
Behind the booming voice that comes through your TV each time you watch Showtime Championship Boxing is a purity and honesty that is almost childlike. Ranallo is gritty, real and so full of fear that he is actually courageous for the way he keeps getting up. He suffers from an illness from which he does not hide. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Ranallo has not let that define nor deter him from fulfilling a dream and making the transition from being an MMA broadcaster to being "the voice" of some of the biggest fights in the last five years. The 45-year-old is also something else: an inspiration.
"I think mental health issues have to be more and more prominent; that's who I am," Ranallo told Sherdog.com. "I know there is a stigma, and we're still not comfortable talking about it in our society. You even asked me if I was OK talking about it for this story. I've been very open about this for many, many years. I firmly believe that's who I am and we're still not comfortable with talking about it in society, but I want to be an advocate. I want to make it easier for people to talk about. I hope that one day we're still alive when people don't have to ask and there is no stigma attached to mental illness."
The Mayo Clinic defines bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, as a mental illness that "causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts in the other direction, you may feel euphoric and full of energy. Mood shifts may occur only a few times a year or as often as several times a week. Although bipolar disorder is a disruptive, long-term condition, you can keep your moods in check by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder can be controlled with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy)."
The mind is powerful, and when it races uncontrollably it becomes even more powerful. The fear is real. You become hypersensitive to everything, from the sound of a swirling dryer to the faint buzz of a machine. Everything irritates you, like a million tiny needles prickling your skin at once. Ranallo, a near-genius who can memorize a script at a glance, would often retreat into a different world. He would literally scream death threats at his family and threaten to kill himself. He says he would turn into "The Hulk." It was out-of-control behavior, where he would go to his room and not come out for days. He would not eat or shower. Overnight, he would turn into a hobo.
"I would go through these unbelievable mood swings," Ranallo said. "I would come into the house with a smile and ask how everyone is doing and then close my bedroom door and suddenly, 'I'm going to [expletive] kill you.' It would scare everybody. I think every person on earth is impacted by mental health issues. People think it's a label, an excuse. It's not. It's very real, but it can be dealt with and I'm living proof people can lead functional lives and be bipolar. I first heard the term 'bipolar' in 1989 when I was first diagnosed. I was sitting there at 19 and they called me crazy. I was like, '[Expletive] you, you're crazy,' I told the doctor. I'm not crazy. Then I started seeing things. I wasn't getting out of bed. I wouldn't shower. You see the patterns, and these things become apparent. Then you realize that there is something wrong with you. You let it take you over, and sometimes I did.
"I never attempted suicide, but I have had suicidal thoughts," he added. "The biggest challenge is there are many days I feel like a fraud. I'll be honest. Then I think I helped myself get to this point in my career. Everything I thought of came to fruition. What I'm doing now is what I always thought I would do as a child. I still can't look at myself and see positives. I will say that I like myself more now than I ever have. I have my alter ego with my closest friends. Thankfully, those who pay my bills love the way I am; my drama, my high energy level. I love who I am. I may be over the top, but this is my voice and if you're committed and love what you do, you'll live a good life. I do look back and shake my head, though, about how I even got here."
The Beginning
Ranallo is a bit of an anachronism. He was born in 1969, though one look at his background and it hints at someone produced from the 1920s. He was raised on a six-acre chicken farm on a dead-end street in Abbotsford, British Columbia. His parents, Elio and Duilia Ranallo, had left Italy for more opportunity in North America.
Mauro's passion for broadcasting came early, through listening to Vancouver Canucks' hall of fame broadcaster Jim Robson and watching Saturday morning pro wrestling. However, Elio was old-school and hard-edged, and he could not comprehend his son's craving. Mauro was expected to do what his father did. Go get your hands dirty, Elio urged. No, his oldest was more content sitting on the couch occupying his Saturdays by taking notes on wrestling matches. They clashed often, and it led to some tension.
Mauro would steal away to his room, and his fertile imagination would take him to faraway places where he was the king of his small universe, playing the intrepid reporter with the ever-ready mic in hand. He remained persistent toward his path, though he was not exactly encouraged at home. At W.J. Mouat Secondary School, in Abbotsford, he was the school's public address announcer and did all of the sports; and when Al Tomko's "All-Star Wrestling" showed up at W.J. Mouat, there was Mauro, with his buddy, Michael Janzen, ribbing the veteran carny.
"You could tell we were getting under Tomko's skin a little," Mauro said with a laugh. "Halfway through the show, Tomko asked if anyone ever used a microphone, because he had to do something backstage."
Ranallo jumped at the chance -- and did the rest of the show.
"I did the ring announcing, and I noticed that Tomko's not coming back," Mauro said. "I knew who everybody was and I got into it. I started announcing their towns and weights. At the end of the show, everyone was raving that I did a fantastic job. Tomko was smiling ear-to-ear and told me, 'Kid, I may have some work for you.' He asked for my name and number, and I was like, 'Wow!' I was 16 in 1986. I wanted to get into the business, and this guy was giving me my chance."
Two weeks later, Tomko called W.J. Mouat looking for the teenaged Mauro for a television broadcast that had been viewed across Canada for over 30 years. That was it. That is what launched Mauro, the kid who once ran around a farm with a toilet paper roll interviewing chickens to play a bombastic, over-the-top character for three years, catapulting him to other stages. Something, though, was eating away at him, and he could not quite figure out what it was. Unfortunately, the darkness did not creep in until a personal tragedy forever altered him: the sudden death of Janzen, who died of a heart attack at 19.
"We were inseparable, but he was more like a brother than a friend," said Mauro, who still has a tough time talking about Janzen. "Every Sept. 27, which was Mike's birthday, and every July 6, which is the day he died, I call his parents regardless of where I am. It hits me every time I talk about him. His whole family and I have forged a unique bond. They have, in a sense, adopted me. I can remember his father taking the time to visit me in the hospital. It could be five or 10 minutes, but he was always there, and he always made sure I was OK.
"That's what brought it out," he added. "I was probably showing signs as a performer when I was a kid on TV. Everyone couldn't believe that the same debilitatingly shy kid was this loud-mouthed, obnoxious wrestling character on TV who was screaming and yelling and yet had this vast vocabulary. I was literally on fire."
The signs began manifesting themselves then.
"The unique part of my diagnosis, and a lot of mentally ill people with the label, it feeds your creativity, yet it takes away other things," Mauro said. "It's a gift at first, in its simplest forms. When my friend passed away, I grieved. You go through that process, and it was hard, because it's the first time death had hit me so close, but it wouldn't go away. That began the rollercoaster ride. I was deejaying at a night club, and I had a breakdown. My girlfriend at the time rushed me to the hospital, and they thought I was on drugs. My father thought I was on drugs, that I was partying too much and it was taking a toll on me. The ER doctor asked if I was drugged. We're talking 1989, and that's when they said I was manic depressive. I refused to believe it."
Still, the jobs came tumbling in: local radio, a TV weatherman assignment, news updates for local access TV. By 1999, Mauro's brand landed him another super gig, as the commentator for Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, where he was paired with Allen James Coage (Bad News Brown in World Wrestling Entertainment). Every two weeks Mauro would do TV tapings and then fly back home, still trying to deal with his medical issues.
"There was always that price to pay, that rollercoaster ride where I would do the tapings and take whatever it was out on my loved ones," he said. "I got into radio again, and I still wasn't committed to my meds; the anger would come out. I was falling, and I didn't realize it."
That is when the bottom scraped another reef. On Sunday, July 13, 2003, Mauro had another breakdown. He was put on a plane from Calgary, and upon landing in British Columbia immediately rushed to the ER. It looked like his career was over. After arriving home, his mother was reluctant to bring up a message on the family answering machine from a man with an accent. The Ranallos wanted to relieve any additional stress on Mauro, but he had to know who it was. So he listened.
"It killed me; it really killed me to hear it," Mauro said, his voice trembling.
The message was from the legendary Bas Rutten, who Mauro had met in 1999 while playing the announce team for a low-budget movie that was never released. Rutten and Mauro hit it off immediately, and Rutten liked his style and energy. He asked Mauro for his contact information, if anything else came up in the future, and Mauro thought very little of it -- until the day Rutten left the message that Pride Fighting Championships was looking for someone. Mauro collapsed to the floor in tears.
"I was 33 years old and I was dead … I was dead. I wanted to commit suicide. I wanted to end my family's pain. I wanted to end my own pain," he said. "Forget it, that was it; it was the lowest I ever was in my life. The rollercoaster had to stop. I had great opportunities and my illness manifesting itself kept knocking me off the tracks. Everyone around me was so tired. No one knew what to do with me. I was sitting in a black hole that was expanding. I didn't see a way out. I went back to the hospital, and thanks to Dr. Pieter Strauss, everything changed. He was the first psychiatrist I ever came across that treated me like a human being. I wasn't a sample or someone to experiment on. Dr. Strauss literally saved my life. It was due to my connection with Dr. Strauss that I began to understand what I was dealing with.
"I began reading everything I could get my hands on about bipolar behavior, and it opened up a whole new world for me," Mauro added. "That was me; that was my story. I became the biggest student of bipolar behavior that anyone could imagine. I could be writing these books word-for-word."
It was Strauss who told Mauro about other creative people throughout history that may have had mental issues, like Leonardo da Vinci and John F. Kennedy. On Oct. 5, 2003, Mauro made his debut as the play-by-play announcer for Pride alongside Rutten. Just two weeks before getting on a plane to Japan, he was in a hospital staring at no future.
The Resurrection
When they first met, Rutten was quickly taken by Mauro. So was Frank Shamrock. So is pretty much everyone that comes in contact with him. Though he is highly self-critical, Mauro has an innate ability to laugh at himself. That is what struck Rutten.
"Mauro is a lot like a fighter," he said. "Mauro doesn't use a prompter. He can do anything off the top of his head. My job is easy. I'm talking about something I have been doing my whole life, and that's fighting. The play-by-play guy has to know everything, and Mauro can lose his notes and he still knows everything; and he has this illness that he fights constantly. It's why I say he's one of the most courageous people I've ever met.
"When we first met on the movie set, they gave us a six-page script," Rutten added. "Mauro memorized it in minutes. They wanted us to do some ad-libs and were going to film the scene around what we said, which didn't make any sense to me; but Mauro got it. We had everyone laughing by the end. I asked him for his number to see if we could work again. The thing with Mauro is once you meet him and talk to him, there's no way you can't not like him."
Rutten came across a few manic episodes while working with Mauro. He said he shoots off into "Mauro world." One time in Japan around 2003, when Mauro forgot his medication, he was yelling at cars passing by.
"We were on our way to lunch, and he began acting strange," Rutten said. "Mauro began doing somersaults on the street for about 30 yards -- I'm not joking -- and he disappeared around the corner. The Pride people were nervous, wondering if Mauro was going to be OK, but the one thing with Mauro is he can be in a totally different world, but as soon as the lights go on, he's brought right back.
"I always had an ability to get into people's heads when I was fighting," he added. "I grabbed his face in my hands and told him to focus. He has a photographic memory, and he's a talent that makes you feel very safe when you're on the air with him. The lights go on, and Mauro goes on. We're going to be doing podcasts together. People that listen will love him instantly. Everybody does when they know the real Mauro."
It was happening again, however. Mauro loved MMA. It introduced his style to a whole new audience. He got a chance to work with Rutten, who Mauro considers a dear friend. After Rutten left Pride, Mauro did not feel right.
"I didn't like the direction Pride was heading in terms of its American production," Mauro said. "I saw the writing on the wall. I'm not in it for the fame or the fortune, but I didn't need to be somewhere that I wasn't happy. I love broadcasting. I know I shocked a lot of people when I left Pride, but at the same time, I began working at The Fight Network in Toronto."
The Fight Network's dreams, however, were bigger than its capabilities. Mauro learned that quickly, so in 2009, he moved over to The Score, also a Toronto-based sports network, and hosted "The MMA Show" for two years. In 2012, Mauro was out there again job hunting, though on a health note, he had gone without a breakdown since July 2003.
In the meantime, his relationship was blossoming with Shamrock, who goes back with Mauro to the inaugural Strikeforce event on Showtime. There, he fought Renzo Gracie on Feb. 10, 2007 at the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven, Miss. During the talent meeting leading up to the event, Shamrock noticed a sullen figure in the corner of the interview room.
"The broadcasters interview the talent -- and I distributed my storyline to Showtime -- and you interact with dumb and boring questions," Shamrock said. "I was trying to spin a bunch of other stuff, and this guy asks me the most pointed question of anyone. I thought to myself, 'Who is this guy [expletive] up my story and my presentation?' I could tell he was very connected to the moment, unlike anyone else I ever met. Mauro cut through all of the smoke and mirrors that I wanted everyone to follow. He knew. He knew the truth."
Shamrock lost to Gracie by disqualification. Later in the evening, well after the event was over, he came across the shadowy figure again in the lobby of the hotel where those associated with the fight promotion were staying.
"I couldn't help myself. I started screaming, 'You know Mauro, you know! No one [expletive] knew, but somehow, you knew!'" Shamrock said. "I screamed at him for a few minutes, and ironically, five months later, we were working together. I was doing a tryout for Showtime, we started working together and I fell in love with the guy. He's totally nuts -- in a good way. He has to pull back on this thing that's captured him. I recognized his honesty and talent. I thought he was a guy I wanted to be friends with. After about a year, I could tell no one was really helping him get past what his talent is worth. That's when we struck up a business relationship."
Shamrock went on to become Mauro's agent and moved him out to California, where they live about 15 minutes apart. The move had to be made after Mauro suffered another breakdown in October 2012 in Toronto.
"I've seen him at his worst, and what I realized with Mauro ... because I know what happens, mental illness runs in my family. I had a brother who lived on the street," Shamrock said. "I could tell Mauro was burning the candle on both ends. He needed to be cared for, and I stepped up and did that. I'm his friend. I wasn't going to let him down. My biggest fear was that he wasn't going to make it.
"Rock bottom for him was flying to Canada, sitting with him holding his hand [and] telling him, 'This has to change; we have to make a change.' He had a tremendous amount of fear and hesitation," he added. "It was the only step that he could make. When I fought, no one was going to stop me. Mauro is the same way. He has such intensity and commitment. I never in my entire life came across someone as talented as Mauro -- ever. What a waste it would be if we lost him."
Each morning, Mauro takes medication that agrees with him. He gives thanks to his Showtime boxing family -- David Dinkins, Gordon Hall, Stephen Espinoza, Al Bernstein, Paulie Malignaggi and Steve Farhood -- and his MMA family, Rutten and Shamrock. He continues battling the bipolar paralysis that sometimes grips him.
"They stayed with me and supported me through the good times and the bad," Mauro said. "All of us have some kind of mental health issue, but there is a huge difference from having a bad day and being clinically depressed. You can't move. You're stuck in bed. You don't want to eat. You don't shower. You turn into a real bum. People see me and think I'm living the life, but I am sick. I have to take my pills when I'm at my sickest. I would not wish on my worst enemy what we go through at our lowest points."
And the highest point? On a Saturday night in May, Shamrock sat down on his living room couch to watch the biggest combat sports event in history -- the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao boxing match on May 2. The first thing he heard was Mauro, and a tear streaked down his face.
"I cried when I heard him do the opening voiceover that night for Mayweather-Pacquiao. It's the pride you get when your child is doing what he always wanted," Shamrock said. "It's probably why it instantly overwhelmed me. The more you get to know Mauro, the more you hang around him, the more you know what's behind that voice, his voice, and what it took to arrive there at the top. There is such realness there that hasn't been crushed. There's something beautiful about that. It's why he's just a beautiful human being."

Just watched the UFC on fox card from saturday and that was quite a show. Robert Whitaker really impressed the hell out of me with how easily he shut down Jacare. Rose tapping out the karate hottie. Mighty Mouse continues to dominate the fuck out of his division. Mighty mouse is kind of the perfect mix of Dominic Cruz and GSP but he throws in finishes to boot. However the only thing that really keeps him from getting more recognition is that he is in a pretty shallow weight class. This guy he faced on saturday I couldn't of picked him out of a UFC line up of fighters which is kind of the case for most of the division. Not saying they are talented fighters but other than Joe Benavidez, there aren't really any known fighters in that division.
People are copying and pasting my posts about MMA being Pro Wrestling on Sherdog, sweet! http://forums.sherdog.com/posts/129396637/
I was reading that and nodding my head in agreement then it hit me, wait a minute I WROTE THAT!
Just read that the photo leak stuff just reached MMA....apparently Jessamyn Duke, Raquel Pennington, Tecia Torres and Angela Magana were hacked and exposed. Though from the article I read an interesting part could be that in one of the photos Magana is smoking out of a bong.
I personally feel that if you've had your privacy stolen and were exposed illegally, you shouldn't be considered for punishment on whatever....but the UFC (and many others) have drug policies and apparently this is a factor in the pictures. They can always say you never know the legitimacy and she never failed a test (which is the route I would go). But who knows what could come from it.
Derrick Krantz won the LFA Welterweight title Friday Night, I know LFA has been airing on AXS but not sure if this fight was aired. He won the Legacy Welterweight title last year(lost it), pretty good Texas guy from the Mid-South fight scene(some of my first fights were on undercards of shows that he main evented). I caught an LFA show on AXS a few weekends ago when I first got Sling TV, impressive stuff.
Also looks like Rory Macdonald won his Bellator debut, Bellator is rising.
So I was becoming very sympathetic towards Cybrog after a certain interview...
Until it came out that Cyborg walked up to Angela Magana and punched her in the face. Its always one step forward an 2 steps back with her.
Whether she gets arrested or not, what will the UFC do?
It was over this tweet by the way...

This cracks me up. A fool has some regional boxing experience and says he can give a world champion a run for his money. Like as if a high school wrestling champ can challenge an olympian.

Mariusz Pudzianowski fight in Poland drew 58,000 last night. Holy shit! That's like 2nd or 3rd biggest crowd in MMA history if I'm not mistaken. I need to check out some of the KSW shows, sounds like they are doing pretty good.
Edit: As a matter of fact-
Biggest crowds in MMA history:
1. Pride Shockwave (2002) - 71,000
2. KSW 39: Colosseum - 58,000
3. UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm (2015) - 56,214
4. UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields (2011) - 55,724
5. Pride 17: Championship Chaos (2001) - 53,246
6. Pride Final Conflict 2003 - 53,000
7. Pride 23: Championship Chaos 2 (2002) - 52,228
8. Pride Grand Prix 2000: Opening Round (2000) - 48,316
9. UFC 198: Werdum vs. Miocic (2016) - 45,207
10. Pride Total Elimination Absolute (2006) - 43,000
And 6 of the top 10 biggest crowds in MMA history were Pride shows.

Gustuffson looked impressive against Glover. Glover showed a ton of heart but his game was just to easy to pick apart when all he's got is his traditional boxing style. Gus does tend to "run" a lot which I see people bitch about all the time but what do you want? Rockem Sockem Robots in every fight? Fuck. I hate that certain type of MMA fan that just doesn't understand strategy. Like I saw a few people bitching about Frankie Edgar not standing and trading bombs with Yair a couple weeks back...Really? Why would Frankie do that?
In a close fight though, I don't mind when the guy that turns tail and runs loses.

It is impressive ksw pulls those numbers and the ufc has to feel under accomplished they never have.

Found a new Wanderlie Silva highlight vid on Youtube, this is a good one(maybe could have picked a better song though).
BANDALAAAAAY SILBAAAAAA!!! Man I miss Pride. Wanderlie was the fucking man. I watched a little bit of his rematch with Arona, the way Arona was scrambling to avoid being stomped and soccer kicked, man that's a real fight.
Watching the live AXS TV fights right now. Dominick Reyes just landed a sick head kick knockout early in the first round. They were trading punches there early on and Reyes' opponent took some shots and shook his head like they didn't hurt him, right as he was shaking his head Reyes tags him with a shin across the face, lights out. Reyes is 6-0, looks really good(light heavyweight). What a knockout.
And holy shit just realized Jose Aldo is fighting tomorrow night! Man did that fight fly under my radar. So goofy that both Aldo and Holloway are carrying Featherweight title belts, Aldo should have won a few more fights before he got a belt. This fight should be for the new undisputed featherweight title, this whole title unification thing is goofy.
Yeah, yet another person, acting like an idiot, grandstanding, dropping their hands, and getting KTFO. Always the sweetest.

Just great how it's like:

Reyes: "Yeah."
I also love the preview moment for the video, because it's one those "It was at this moment, that he knew...he fucked up." images.

Send them packing
Takeout breakfast, lunch at a convenient dim sum palace and dinner at a favourite hotpot joint: eating out is so convenient and routine that some families regularly have all three meals outside the home. It's a wonder their kitchens are used for anything more than making tea or the odd bowl of instant noodles.
However, the balance is shifting towards greater interest in home cooking with heightened health consciousness, especially among the middle class. Now a couple of Web-based ventures are tapping into their concerns by delivering washed and chopped ingredient packs for ready-to-cook dishes.
They have made converts of novices such as Amanda Cheung Man-yee. An executive in a health products company, Cheung never used to cook at home; her routine after work each day was to select a restaurant for dinner with her husband.
'I know eating out isn't that healthy but who wants to cook after an exhausting day,' she says.
But the Cook Easy service has enticed Cheung to take regular turns at the stove since she came across the website last December. She was hooked, she says, precisely because the venture provides such a simple, trouble-free package.
Placing her orders with a few clicks on the computer, Cheung has a couple of ready-to-cook packs delivered to her home: one containing strips of locally raised, hormone-free chicken, with washed and cut organic vegetables for a stir-fry and another containing ingredients for a carrot and pork soup. All come with easy-to-follow instructions.
'It's hard to go wrong with this,' Cheung says. 'They've done the tedious work for us. The cooking part is actually pretty fun.'
Now she places orders for the meal packages to cook at home once a week and even hosts the occasional dinner party for friends. 'My husband said he never realised I could cook.'
A social enterprise jointly operated by Towngas and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Cook Easy employs people with disabilities to assemble the ingredients for each day's orders each morning for delivery in the afternoon. Prices range from HK$19 for a pack of organic vegetables for a stir-fry to HK$289 for a hotpot special, including slices of Angus steak and Iberico pork. There are also packs for cookies, cakes and barbecues.
Business has picked up quickly since Cook Easy launched in 2009; the enterprise now supplies about 100 packs daily during the week and up to 180 packs during festive periods.
Part of the reason for its success is growing awareness about healthy eating, says Cook Easy organiser Fanny Ong. 'Steamed dishes are the most popular here because they are simple and healthy. People are also more interested in organic vegetables.'
But Ong also believes people realise that making and sharing meals can help strengthen family bonds.
'It glues the family together. The experience encourages communication during the cooking and the whole family can sit down and enjoy a meal.'
Cook Easy's social mission is an added attraction for civil servant Yolanda Ho Man-chung. Although she employs a domestic helper, Ho has been a regular customer since the site was launched two years ago.
'It's hard for my helper to juggle caring for my two children and grocery shopping. The food packs are quite affordable and they are fresher than the ones in the supermarket,' she says. 'And it makes me feel good that I'm helping others while ordering food.'
The recently launched Fresh To Go is a more upmarket service that uses premium ingredients including wagyu beef and Hokkaido scallops. Their most popular pack is minced pork with salted egg, a simple dish that many families make at home. But their version uses Iberico pork; hence the HK$75 price tag.
Its menu, which changes every fortnight, is put together by a chef and a traditional Chinese physician who advises on the use of medicinal herbs. A three-dish meal package with soup typically costs about HK$300 and can go up to HK$500.
Fresh To Go co-founder Rainbow Ng Wai-po says personal experience prompted her to start the company with her partners.
'I used to eat out a lot but many restaurants use MSG to enhance flavour. I thought there must be people like me out there who want to eat more healthily but don't have time for all the prep work.'
A former interior designer, Ng says that as a strictly commercial operation it's smarter for them to target the high-end market.
'The biggest challenge is logistics. It doesn't make sense if we are selling food packs for, say, HK$20 but charge HK$50 for delivery to make a profit.'
And the lower costs of running an online business helps offset the expense of using premium ingredients, Ng adds.
'For us, selling meat is more like selling designer bags. Just as bags have tags to show authenticity, pieces of steak have stickers to indicate their origin - if the cattle were grass-fed or if the meat has been dry-aged.
'We use modified atmosphere in packaging, first vacuuming out all the air and adding nitrogen for better preservation. Each dish comes with its own ice pack so there won't be a change of temperature during delivery,' she says.
The service, which launched in October, delivers to more than 30 customers each day and Ng thinks business will continue to improve.
'Busy, working people won't mind paying a little more for such services so they can eat healthier.'
Still, customers such as Ho and Cheung are a little put off by Fresh To Go's hefty prices.
'I'll probably give it a try but I'm not sure if it's necessary to cook with such luxury ingredients at home,' Ho says.
On the menu
Cook Easy (cookeasy.tungwahcsd.org)
Designed by the Town Gas Cooking Centre, balanced meals combine a vegetable dish with meat or seafood and soup. Customers may pick any combination of some 50 dishes. There are also a few set meals.
The healthy meal set for three-four people features stuffed hairy marrow, chicken with celery and cashew nut, hairy marrow, dried shrimp and bean vermicelli pot for HK$99.
The HK$100 easy meal set consists of steamed meatcake with mushroom and dried squid in waterlily leaf, mushroom with black fungus and loofah, and sole fillet with bean vermicelli and garlic. The most popular are steamed dishes and those using locally raised Kamei chicken.
Fresh To Go (freshtogo.hk)
The company introduces new dishes every couple of weeks using seasonal ingredients. For customers who have trouble making a selection, it offers three set menus combining three dishes and a soup.
Its HK$530 supreme set features black chicken soup with ginseng, Shyu Ichi wagyu cubes with garlic flakes, steamed Kamei chicken with yellow wine, and organic vegetables with dried seafood and vermicelli. Meals are for two people.
A less expensive set features clams with Japanese potato and leek soup, Iberico minced pork with salted egg, Japanese onion with hormone-free Australian chicken and fresh cucumber with vinegar for HK$250

Jose Mourinho believes his Chelsea team deserve more ''respect'' from the rest of English football following fears his line-up at Liverpool on Sunday compromise the integrity of the Premier League title race.
Mourinho's side face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Having been hit by a number of injuries to key players – including Petr Cech and John Terry in Madrid – Mourinho indicated after the scoreless first leg he would protect key players ahead of the return match at Stamford Bridge.
Sunday's clash away to leaders Liverpool will have a major bearing on the destiny of the Premier League trophy, but last weekend's home defeat by Sunderland means Chelsea are now ranked third favourites behind the Reds and Manchester City in the title race.
Chelsea currently lie second, five points behind Liverpool with three games to play, but a victory at Anfield will see third-placed City installed as favourites to win the league because they have a game in hand.
Mourinho refused to expand on his plans for the Liverpool match while speaking to reporters at Chelsea's Cobham training ground, south of London, on Friday after being charged by the Football Association for comments he made about the performance of referee Mike Dean following the loss to Sunderland.
But the Chelsea manager said: ''I have to defend my club, and I have to defend Chelsea supporters.
''I think Chelsea fans want Chelsea FC to be respected and to get the respect Chelsea FC deserves.
''They've been the most important club to defend this country in European competitions: they won the Champions League, they won the Europa League, they think Chelsea deserve more respect that they are getting.
''They want Chelsea to go to Liverpool and play, as always, at the maximum giving everything they have. Which players? That's our decision, not your decision.''
Cech is out for the rest of the season with a dislocated shoulder, replaced by veteran Australian Mark Schwarzer, while Terry and Eden Hazard will miss the trip to Liverpool and have only a slim chance of making the return with Atletico.
Mourinho has been mentioned as a candidate to take over at Manchester United following the dismissal of David Moyes this week but he insisted he would not leave Chelsea.
The manager, who spoke to Moyes privately this week, said: ''I left Real Madrid specifically to come to Chelsea. I signed a four-year contract. I told Chelsea they never have to worry about me because I don't want to leave, so I stay here until the club wants me to leave.''

Do you get nauseous every month when your mobile carrier sends you your invoice? Does the mere sight of your carrier's logo on a television commercial make you instinctively hold on tight to your wallet? Are you the type of person that has the latest smartphone but can't figure out 99% of what your phone does? Verizon knows you. Yeah, they know you well enough to offer you a new $35 a month pre-paid plan for featurephones. You get 500 anytime minutes (no Mobile to Mobile savings by calling other Verizon customers), unlimited text and unlimited web.
unlimited everything for the month. Verizon has a lineup of four phones on its website that go with these plans, although the LG Cosmos 2 appears to be sold out. The remaining three are the Samsung Gusto 2, the Samsung Intensity III and the LG Extravert and cost $49.99, $59.99 and $69.99 respectively.
If smartphones aren't your thing, and you still crank you car in the morning to start it, you might find yourself enjoying the simpler phones and the cheaper monthly pre-paid plans.

Fahad Fazil is considered as the Dhanush of Malayalam industry. The actor has been successful in creating an impression of himself among his audience with his natural style in acting and . That might be a reason for his popularity in the industry as Olipporu, his next movie, will be his Eight release for this year.
The plot of the movie revolves around a few youngsters who are active in blog and social networking sites decide to organise an exclusive show in Bangalore. The main coordinator of the show is famous in the blog as Olipporali.
In the final rehearsal when everyone arrives, Olipporali alone fails to reach the place. All others wait for him for a long time. Then they realise that they have only a meagre information about the whereabouts of Olipporali. They find themselves in dilemma.
All the other coordinators who write blogs in the names of Clutch, Gear, Break, Vani and Pachakuthira were greatly tensed due to the absence of Olipporali for the final rehearsal of the show. The intriguing events that unfold are told in an engaging manner by AV Sasidharan in Olipporali.
Olipporu is getting released tomorrow (23 August). The movie has Fahad playing the role of an ardent blogger named Olipporali. He makes things happen with his online presence. Subhiksha is playing the female lead in the film. This is her debut movie in the industry. The actress is more popular in Kollywood.
Kalabhavan Mani, Sidharth Bharathan, Thalavaasal Vijay and Zarina Wahab are also seen in this film in the supporting roles. The movie also marks Fahad Fazil's debut as a singer.
