As a major fan of the PlayStation and its upcoming sequel, a reader of IGNPSX has come forward to show us real illustrations of the upcoming uber-console. He sweated everything for this one chance at stardom, and will probably lose his job just to show you what the Next Generation PlayStation will look like.
Just kidding.
IGNPSX reader Robert Heddy had some serious time on his hands, and has a crafty enough imagination to have drafted up these superb renditions of what the PlayStation 2 might look like. Warning! These shots are NOT the real thing. They are only an artist's impressions of what the PlayStation might look like.
So, check them out, and enjoy Mr. Heddy's artwork. We especially like the detailed guns and controllers, although we were personally hoping for something even more exotic. Remember when the N64 controller was introduced? That was a serious new step into the 3D world for consoles. Still, no one really knows what PlayStation 2 really looks like. Hopefully, we'll get a look at it this E3, held from May 13-15 in Los Angeles, Ca.
Thanks to a generous fan of IGNPSX, Robert Heddy, for his cool work.

Couple assaulted daughter (15) over Facebook photos
Parents given suspended sentences following incidents while trying to confiscate phone
Judge Olann Kelleher said it was "a very sad case".
A couple who assaulted their daughter (15) when trying to take away her phone after she posted nude photos of herself on Facebook have been given suspended sentences.
The pair, who cannot be named to protect the girl's identity, were each given a five-month suspended sentence on condition that they attend a parenting course and an anger management course.
On Monday at Cork District Court the man pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting the girl while her mother pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at a location in Cork on June 3rd 2016.
Inspector John Deasy said the incident with her father occurred when he arrived home to see her using her phone, despite being ordered not to do so. Her parents had confiscated her phone on the day in question. The father tried to get the phone but the girl resisted and he pulled her by the hair and she fell to the ground. She alleged that he kicked her in the ribs but he denied this.
The incident with her mother happened later that evening when she confronted the girl regarding the phone but the girl refused to hand it over. She alleged that her mother slapped her in the face.
Knocking to the ground
The teenager bit her mother on the thumb and forefinger and the mother kicked out, knocking the girl to the ground. The daughter ended up with a mark on her cheek matching the sole of the woman's shoe, the court heard.
She made a complaint to gardaí and the parents admitted assaulting the girl but denied kicking her in the ribs or stamping on her face as she alleged. However, the mother said there was no deliberate stamp on the head simply an attempt to get the girl to release her.
Solicitor for the defendants said the girl had been engaging in "challenging behaviour" for two to three years prior to the two assaults, which were admitted by his clients.
He stressed that the parents were only motivated by a desire to protect their daughter from putting herself in a vulnerable position.
He said they had gone to their GP and attended a family-strengthening programme before the incident.
Judge Olann Kelleher said it was "a very sad case" and the HSE had felt the case was so serious that they had removed the girl from the family home.

Optimizing Lineside Storage
There's a reason why Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing are such popular terms within the manufacturing community. It's because they're proven to be incredibly effective time and money savers. However, as customers have grown accustomed to being able to tailor anything and everything to their exact specifications, it has presented manufacturers with very difficult space and efficiency challenges. Variety is the spice of life when you're the customer, but when you're the manufacturer, variety isn't quite as rosy.Take the automotive industry for example. Think about your car and how many options you had when buying it. Do you want your center console to be black, gray, wood-trimmed, leather or anything else your heart desires? Forty years ago, your only color options were black or black. Now you can get black (Aurora Black or Ebony Black?), Silver, Blue, Cherry, Bronze, Graphite, Red and the list goes on and on.So how does a manufacturer adapt to this customizable world? Unless they're blessed with unlimited space for pallets and money for overhead, chances are they're a just-in-time manufacturer working with very real space requirements. That's where our Pickologists' years of experience come in.UNEX Flow Cell solutions can be implemented lineside to give manufacturers the ability to store the additional SKUs in the same footprint as their existing assembly area. Instead of palletized or drum storage, many manufacturers have begun using totes. Where one or two pallets used to be, now 7 or 8 totes can be stored with the additional options.Are you a manufacturer looking to get leaner lineside storage? Then contact one of our Pickologists today and we'll help you stay lean and efficient.

Megan McKenna's tearful admission
- Bang Showbiz
- 26 March 2017
Megan McKenna shed a tear as she admitted she was finding it hard to get over Pete Wicks' infidelity in scenes set to air on Sunday night's (26.03.17) episode of the 'Only Way Is Essex'
Megan McKenna teared up as she admitted she was finding it hard to get over Pete Wicks' infidelity.
The 'Ex on the Beach' beauty and the 'Only Way Is Essex' star confirmed they had gone their separate ways earlier this month but come face to face in scenes set to air on Sunday night's (26.03.17) episode of the ITVBe show.
Following the confrontation, Megan speaks to her mother Tanya, where she admits she is finding it incredibly difficult to move forward after Pete was caught sending sexy messages to his ex.
It comes after Megan publicly confirmed the couple's split on Twitter following Pete's frank interview about his relationship status.
She wrote on the microblogging site: "I was keeping quiet out of respect for him. But as he's been 'blabbing' and bragging about other Tv shows I will now confirm we are OVER ... And have been over for a while. End of the speculations. Now let me move on with my life. Thanks. (sic)"
Her comments were in response to an interview where Pete said he wanted to appear on 'Celebs Go Dating' now he's single.
Speaking at the TRIC Awards, he said: "I'm here with James [Lock] today so you can probably guess my relationship status from that. Megan is a good girl but it's always complicated with her. It's all about to play out on the show. We are both happy at the minute - things are just complicated ... I'd definitely like to do 'Celebs Go Dating' but there are other TV shows I'm lined up for too."
Megan was much more coy about her relationship status when she spoke to reporters at the event but did admit things were "a bit complicated" between the pair.
She shared: "It's a bit complicated at the moment. I don't really know what else to say about it."

I haven't watched a single episode of this, but I'm sure some of our readers are fans, and they'll be glad to know that the Logo network has renewed RuPaul's Drag Race, for a 5th season!
Given how much discussion "black-man-in-drag" has seen on this blog, for better or for worse, RuPaul's name has rarely ever come up! He/she is practically a legend – arguably just as much a household name as Madea. Although, the target audiences for each character differs – one with a strong fan base within the gay community, irrespective of race; the other attracting mostly black women Christian conservative types.
Also worth noting: RuPaul is an out gay man; there've been rumors about the other fella.
I do wonder what the perception is of RuPaul amongst black gay men, given his stature and his history-making show – specifically, its premiere this season was the most watched series premiere in Logo's history, with nearly one million viewers!
Auditions are said to be under way for a season 5 premiere in early 2013.
For those who've never watched an episode of this obviously popular series, watch the video below as CNN goes "behind the glam" of RuPaul's Drag Race:

How to Play an Evil Character
June 15, 2011 by beerogre
How to Play Evil Characters
Following on from a thread in the Dungeons & Dragons group, I thought I would post my thoughts on how to play evil chracters in Roleplaying Games... and how it can be fun!
Consider the adventures of the shining Paladin, Dirk the Implaccable and his morally challenged companion Gary the Heartless...
Evil is practical
Above all else, evil characters are practical, sometimes brutally so.
Why would Gary the Heartless sneak into the Gnome village to recover the Orc totem, when he could poison their water supply and come back to collect it in a few days time.
Evil is not cowardly
It's tempting to play an evil character as a snivelling wretch. However, the acts of an evil character often require a lot of intestinal fortitude and detachment.
When hunting for the Orc Totem in the Temple of Fairy Healing, slaughtering the pacifist Gnome priestesses, just because they were going to raise the alarm, requires commitment to a course of action on par with any Paladin.
The ends justify the means
Evil characters do not exclude a course of action or a plan, just because it is unpalatable.
If the easiest way for Gary the Heartless to find out about the defences of the Gnome village is to summon a demon... then so be it... If that requires the sacrifice of some gnomes. When dealing with Demons, you need to expect to incur some minor costs.
Collateral damage is an occupational hazard
Evil characters use the quickest, easiest path to success. If this involves violence... well... These things happen.
If the local Orc king wants Gary the Heartless to destroy the Gnome's new magical bridge. If the ensuing fire also consumes the gnome orphanage... well... the Gnomes shouldn't have built it into the foundations of the bridge!
Always hedge your bets
The evil character sees both sides of any conflict and measures the potential return from those angles...
How much would the gnomes pay when Gary the Heartless tells them that it was the paladin, Dirk the Implacable who burned their orphanage-bridge to ashes?
Treachery is all part of the bargain
While an evil character understands the value of friends, allies are just convenient.
When Gary the Heartless and the gnome king battle through the wilderness to take revenge on Dirk the Implacable, who is supposedly hiding out at the Orc encampment. When the Orcs conveniently ambush them and stuff the gnome in a pot, Gary collects his reward and goes on his way... There are plenty more stupid gnomes out there.
Never do your own dirty work
You might be an excellent fighter, but actually fighting exposes the evil character to risk... Risk is bad...
It's much easier to convince Dirk the Implacable, the thick-headed paladin, that the gnomes of the village have been replaced by demonic dopplegangers and send him off to do battle, than do it yourself... After all when the gnomes attack Dirk the Orphan-Slayer on sight... That's exactly what a demonic dopplegangers would do, right?
Deception is all part of the game
An evil character should never be what they seem. This puts potential enemies off guard and makes them easier prey.
When a new shining paladin rides into the gnome village, the gnomes rejoice that a saviour has come to find their king, especially due to the recent bridge burning that killed all the orphans and the poisoning of the well that claimed so many lives... Sure this paladin looks a bit like Gary the Heartless in a wig... But that's got to be just coincidence.
Capitalise on tragedy
Good characters see tragedy as a chance to help, evil characters see this as a chance to profit.
Following a recent attack by a rogue paladin, the Gnome village is in ruins. However, as fortune would have it, a passing alchemist (who bears a passing resemblance to Gary the Heartless with a beard) who has a supply of highly addictive dreamweed, just happens to be in the vicinity... and nothing makes the bad times better than a serious dreamweed addiction.
Hit them when they're down
The evil character has no qualms about kicking an enemy when they're down both physically and figuratively.
The thriving black market in the Gnome village, that has recently sprung up, to support the community's deplorable drug problem, is controlled by Gary the Heartless. He sells those gnomes that can't pay debts to the local Orc tribe with whom he's on good terms. In return, the orcs are supervising the rebuilding of the gnome bridge and brothel... Progress seems to be going well.
It's all in a days work
Evil characters do not dwell on their failures, there are always more opportunities. Evil always looks forward to the next scheme, for to look back is to consider some of the terrible works you have wrought.
With the Gnome Village a smoking ruin, after the Orc Tribe got into the Dreamweed stash. Gary the Heartless looks on, ruing the day he ever got involved with those stupid gnomes... but what's that?
The sound of tinkling laughter and tiny violins, which could only mean that there is a Pixie Village nearby... and Gary did manage to save some of the Dreamweed!
This is just a bit of fun of course, why not give us your take on the whole "playing evil characters".
... and finally... unending thanks to Romain for bringing the escapades of Gary and Dirk to life with his sketches.

A typical idea among many individuals is that dental professionals simply collaborate with the teeth.
They tend to fail to remember that dental care is a vast topic and the probabilities are essentially limitless. Comprehensive dental treatment – this is the bottom line of dentistry. Aesthetic dental experts are various from the remainder of the niche. They operate in such a way to make sure that improvement is the outcome. They happen to be one of the most searched for individualities; there made use of to be a period when simply the rich could possibly pay for the higher costs of an aesthetic dental expert.
Nowadays, basically any individual can go with the handleds of one – the explosive growth in the specific niche has lowered the connected expenses manifold. Since the niche is also rewarding, numerous dental experts are known to specialize in the specific niche. This warrants the need for the existing conversation available – the value of locating the best cosmetic dental professional. In the complying with passages, I will certainly attempt to lay out some components that must be considered when looking for that perfect cosmetic surgeon.
Oral concerns are rather usual with today generation. Particular people are birthed with genetic facial deformities, while the rest is recognized to get it at a later date (as a result of mishaps or diseases). Also in the lack of these, individuals are known to go for the solutions of an aesthetic dental expert. As a matter of fact, the sector of cosmetic dental care gained vast spread understanding with individuals when they began discovering enhancement in the look of their favored movie stars or sports characters. The teeth play a considerable role in altering your appearance (much like the nose – you might have already come across folks opting for nose plastic surgeries).
Finding the appropriate cosmetic dentist could be very easy. It is better to begin inquiring about in the family members or among your buddies' circle. Possibilities are higher that at the very least one of them should have considered the help of an aesthetic dental practitioner at a previous day. They will certainly narrate their experience, and also you can also do some background study. If the dentist is prominent enough, they will be skilled enough to set up a webpage – this will then draw added "clients". Actually, this is the best as well as one of the most preferred good manners to locate the most effective one amongst the great deal.
The very best cosmetic dental professionals are available for the taking, you simply need to look closer for them. Glance the web sites preserved by these medical professionals and offer special emphasis to the testimonials. These are phrasings noted by the previous customers, and also they will show the workmanship and also ability of the medical professional. You can also go on and offer a call to several of them asking to narrate their experience with the certain doctor. Some of them could also advise various other cosmetic dental professionals, yet, it is still worth a try to ask around. You view, discovering the most effective of the cosmetic dental practitioners was made less complex!

Who should Chelsea try to buy in January? Would they be top of the league if they had Luis Suarez? Email email@example.com or tweet @benbloomsport with all your Chelsea and Liverpool thoughts.
Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
All today's latest scores across England and Scotland
Live Premier League table
18.02 That's all from me then. Liverpool were top of the table on Christmas Day yet they are now six points back and out of the Champions League positions. Have a happy New Year and thanks for joining me. Cheerio.
FULL TIME What a thrilling game from the first to the last minute. And I imagine there will be plenty that both managers have to say afterwards. As a neutral you have got to feel for Liverpool today. Eto'o could have seen red for his terrible challenge that led to Skrtel's opener, while Suarez had two very good penalty shouts turned down against Terry and the Cameroonian striker. Did Suarez's reputation precede him? I suspect it may have done. Elsewhere Spurs have beaten Stoke 3-0 so the final 2013 Premier League table looks like this:
90+4 min Up comes Mignolet for the Liverpool free-kick but the ball sweeps out for a Chelsea throw-in and Mourinho has started celebrating already! He thinks it's all over. It pretty much is...
90+3 min Clash of the Brazilians! Lucas and Oscar are all over each other and I'm not sure what has happened. The replay shows Lucas responded to Oscar's poor challenge by shoving his compatriot's head down into the pitch. Yellow card for the Chelsea man.
90+2 min We are into "running down the clock" territory. Head down and charge to the corner... That's two minutes gone for Chelsea.
90 min Toure is on for Sakho and there will be four minutes of added time.
89 min Time is running out for Liverpool, who have been very unlucky today. Can they find a late winner from somewhere? Cech scuffs his clearance straight to Smith whose touch is abysmal. Sorry. Chelsea then hoof the ball upfield where Torres takes advantage of Sakho pulling his hamstring to cut inside from the right and shoot low with his left foot, forcing Mignolet to save well.
86 min That's the last we will see of Eto'o today. The Cameroonian hobbles off with cramp to be replaced by Torres. Aspas is also on for Johnson.
84 min Suarez is not a happy bunny at all. The Liverpool striker brings the ball forward but loses out to Azpilicueta. The full-back takes the ball out of the Chelsea box but Eto'o decides to get involved and knees Suarez over. I have no idea how the referee didn't spot that and point to the penalty spot. He has a clear view from about 15 metres away but gives nothing. A huge, huge let-off for Chelsea and a moment of stupidity from Eto'o. What a lucky man he is.
81 min Our man Henry Winter has this snippet for us: "Torres, warming up, is greeted by #lfc fans with "are you happy on the bench?""
78 min Willian has been great at both ends today. He has put in a shift getting back to help out his defence on numerous occasions and now he dances his way into the Liverpool penalty area from the left. He can't quite find Eto'o with his pass though and the ball then heads down the other end where Cahill is booked for a dangerous tackle on Suarez. That hurt.
76 min Brad Smith is playing down the left but has hardly seen the ball since coming on with Liverpool tending to break either centrally through Suarez or down the right with Sterling.
75 min Shots: Chelsea 10 Liverpool 8. On target: Chelsea 4 Liverpool 4.
74 min Here comes Suarez. The Liverpool striker gets his body between Luiz and the ball before surging forward down the middle and passing to Johnson who is in support. The right-back is given time and space to shoot with his left foot from outside the box and forces Cech to turn the ball behind for a corner that comes to nothing.
Andrew Holgate thinks Liverpool's title aspirations might be over if the scoreline remains the same:
Clink, clank, clunk. That's the sound of a title challenge coming off the rails. Two games against two big teams and looks like no points.
71 min I thought that was 3-1. Oscar does brilliantly to disposses his fellow Brazilian Coutinho on the left before cutting inside and curling his shot just wide of the far post. This game is still being played at a relentless place.
69 min Luiz dreams of 28-yard free-kicks. The Brazilian has one in his sights, starts his long run-up, strikes it powerfully and it it crashes straight into the wall.
68 min Make that 3-0 to Spurs as Lennon keeps the goals coming. Stamford Bridge is now seeing foul after foul after foul. It's all very fragmented.
Butter wouldn't melt...
65 min Spurs have achieved something they have done many times this season: scored two goals in one Premier League game. Dembele puts them 2-0 up against Stoke.
64 min The Liverpool fans think they should have a penalty as Suarez goes down but Howard Webb doesn't agree. The free-kick was delivered by Coutinho and Terry appeared to be clambering all over the Liverpool striker as he went down. It's very clumsy from Terry and he's somewhat fortunate to get away with it.
62 min Luiz slots Eto'o in again down the right but Skrtel is alive to the danger and slides to nick the ball away just as the Chelsea striker was preparing to shoot.
61 min Problems for Liverpool with Allen limping off to be replaced by... Brad Smith. Erm, who?? Apparently he is an Australian-born English 19-year-old making his debut. Best of luck young man.
59 min You can't take your eyes away from this. First Coutinho advances into the Chelsea penalty area but chooses the wrong option and sees his shot blocked. Then Eto'o finds himself in a similar position at the other end, does exactly the same thing (when he should have passed as well) and his shot is also blocked.
57 min That would have been a blinder! Coutinho plays in Henderson on the byline to the left of the goal. The Liverpool midfielder spots Suarez lurking on the edge of the box, pulls the ball back in the air and the Uruguayan displays impeccable technique to volley the ball first time, but straight at Cech.
54 min Straight down the other end Eto'o (sort of) beats the offside trap (he was actually offside) to find himself with a one-on-one. The Cameroonian decides to go for power, trying to beat Mignolet at the near post but the Liverpool goalkeeper gets down well and palms it away with a strong hand. That was a big chance for Chelsea, but full credit to Mignolet whose save was superb.
52 min Sakho hits the bar!!! Liverpool take a quick free-kick short to Henderson, who lifts the ball over the Chelsea defence towards the far post. Sakho is there and the big Liverpool defender nods the ball back across goal with everyone in the stadium - including Cech - stopped to watch it loop in slow motion before clunking into the crossbar.
49 min The bookings continue. Luiz grabs Lucas's shirt right under the nose of referee Howard Webb and the Brazilian will now be suspended for Chelsea's next match against Southampton.
47 min I wonder if we might see a red card during this game. Terry catches Allen in the face with his arm while climbing high to win a header in the middle of the park. Sakho complains to the referee that Terry has intentionally elbowed the Liverpool midfielder. Which is rubbish. Yes there was contact and I'm sure it hurt Allen but Terry only had eyes for the ball. Nonetheless he receives a yellow card.
46 min Here we go again. Mikel is on for Lampard who has apparently picked up a thigh problem. So that's two changes already for Chelsea.
17.03 Ready for more? Here come the players. A few of them wearing suspiciously fresh shirts. Including this bloke...
16.55 There is a lot of buzz on Twitter about Eto'o and Sakho, and Oscar and Coutinho swapping shirts at half-time. I personally couldn't care less but I suppose it would be wise to keep that sort of thing to the changing room rather than doing it so openly on the pitch.
HALF TIME Eto'o, happy with finally scoring a real life goal, strides off the pitch like a matador who has slain a bull, shirt over his shoulder, chest bared for all to see. His goal completed a rapid Chelsea comeback after that early opener from Skrtel. It's been a brilliant half and Chelsea probably deserve their lead. Back for more soon.
45 min A microcosm of English and Brazilian football on the right wing as Willian shows off his Samba skills before Henderson crunches player and ball off the pitch. Three minutes of injury time.
42 min Good save from Cech to keep Chelsea ahead. Sterling hares down the right wing before pulling the back back and across the goal. It finds its way to Allen, who arrives late on the edge of the box and his strike is well palmed away by Cech.
41 min Hazard has gone down and it seems he was on the receiving end of an elbow from Johnson. The Liverpool right-back will be shown a yellow card for that and Hazard is fine to continue. More an accidental elbow than a malicious one.
38 min Over at White Hart Lane, Soldado has put the home side ahead from the penalty spot against Stoke.
36 min Feel like you've seen this before with Liverpool? Just three days ago they took the lead against Manchester City before conceding twice in 15 minutes and losing 2-1.
GOAL! Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool (Eto'o) Did I say things had calmed down? Azpilicueta sends the ball into the box from the right where it finds Oscar. The Brazilian darts to the front post, passes inside to Eto'o, and the striker beats Skrtel to the ball and pokes, via Mignolet's weak hand, into the back of the Liverpool net. Should the keeper have done better? Probably.
32 min So we will have no Suarez v Ivanovic fireworks today, which is definitely a good thing as we can all focus on the football instead. Finally we seem to be entering a relative period of calm after the frenetic opening.
29 min Oh. It seems I knew more than Ivanovic did. Just one minute after trying to continue, Ivanovic heads off and on comes Cole.
28 min In fact Ivanovic has continued. What do I know? (Not a lot).
27 min It looks like Ivanovic's day might be over. The Chelsea defender slips and appears to tweak something in the hamstring area, which prompts Ashley Cole to start warming up.
26 min Cahill has just put in a phenomenal tackle. Suarez and Allen link up beautifully on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, with the Welshman dinking the ball over the defence for Henderson. The England international prepares to hit the ball from 10 yards out but Cahill flings himself at full stretch, timing his tackle to perfection to whip the ball off Henderson's foot.
24 min He never needs much of an invitation to shoot but this time Luiz's effort is high, wide and simply very, very bad. Chelsea are looking so threatening on the attack though and I can't see Liverpool keeping them to just the one goal.
21 min Forward comes Hazard, this time on the right, but his pass into the Liverpool penalty area is cut out. Liverpool break through Suarez (boooooo) but the Chelsea supporters are delighted as his pass goes totally astray. Have I mentioned this is end-to-end stuff?
Here is a happy Skrtel from about 15 minutes ago. He is not so happy anymore:
19 min This has been one of the best starts to a match all season.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool (Hazard) This match has not calmed down in the slightest and it looks like we are in for an utter treat! Oscar drived the ball forward from the halfway line and attempts to play in Eto'o to his right. Chelsea are fortunate as the ball is cut out by Sakho but deflects straight into the path of the onrushing Hazard who curls it with sublime placement and technique into the far corner to leave Mignolet for dead.
12 min What a stirke and what a save! Lampard has hit many a crashing long shot over the years and this is one of his finest, arrowed towards the far top corner from outside the box on the left. Fortunately for the visitors Mignolet is equal to it and soars high to his left to tip the ball over.
10 min Should that be a penalty for Chelsea?? Hazard cuts inside past Skrtel and drives into the Liverpool penalty area from the left. The Belgian looks up, spots Lucas tracking back and sticks his leg out to ensure there is contact, before falling to the ground. No penalty and the correct decision. Hazard knew exactly what he was doing.
The superbly named Mimi Mindick has this to say:
Have Liverpool taken too early a bite out of Chelsea? Scoring this early could lead to a feeding frenzy... sorry a goal frenzy!
8 min This has been a breathless start at Stamford Bridge. Now Johnson fouls Willian down the left to give Lampard a chance to lump the ball into the box. The delivery is high and long but Cahill's header is just wide of the mark.
5 min But so close to an instant equaliser! Hazard bursts through down the right and hits a low shot across goal. Mignolet gets a hand to it but the ball continues on its way towards the goal and Johnson is forced to hack it clear on the line.
GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool (Skrtel) Eto'o may not have been shown a yellow card but he has cost his team a goal. The free-kick is whipped in brilliantly by Countinho towards Suarez who beats Ivanovic to the header. The ball bounces around before finding Skrtel who loses his man to tap home from two yards. What a start for the visitors.
2 min Suarez gets his first touch, prompting inevitable booing from the Chelsea supporters, as well as a fair smattering of more aggressive chants. Meanwhile Eto'o puts in a frankly terrible challenge on Henderson, his studs connecting with the Liverpool man's knee. Somehow he gets away without even receiving a yellow card. You can bet anything he would have been shown at least one of those if the challenge had been later in the game.
1 min Thunderbirds are go. Chelsea kick off, hoof the ball forward and concede possession.
15.58 Handshake update: Ivanovic and Suarez have acted like normal human beings and shaken each other's hand.
15.57 The lads have arrived at Stamford Bridge:
15.52 Don't forget to get in touch throughout the game as well. I want to know your thoughts. Does Mourinho need to buy a striker in January? Is he right to leave Torres on the bench against his former club? Will Liverpool have the staying power to mount a serious title charge?
15.48 What are your predictions then? Liverpool have scored 18 goals in their last five Premier League games and, as the tweet below shows, they have THE form man in Suarez. Chelsea have conceded just 18 goals in 18 league games this season though. Something's got to give.
15.30 Did everyone enjoy Newcastle v Arsenal? It didn't quite live up to the 7-3 of last December (that's an understatement of epic proportions). Arsenal's 1-0 win and Everton's 2-1 triumph over Southampton means the top half of the Premier League table looks like this:
15.26 Hello everyone. Here are your teams:
Team news
Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Lampard, David Luiz; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Eto'o.
Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Schurrle, Mata, Torres.
Liverpool: Mignolet; Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Sakho; Lucas; Allen, Henderson; Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho.
Subs: Rossiter, Brad Jones, Toure, Alberto, Aspas, Cissokho, Smith.
Referee: Howard Web. Matches: 15, R0 Y42.
Betting: Home 11-10, Away 13-5, Draw 11-5.
Match Notes
Liverpool's latest big test comes at Stamford Bridge in the form of Chelsea.
Luis Suárez has been wonderful this season, but did not score against Manchester United, Arsenal or Manchester City on Boxing Day.
A winner against Chelsea would silence the few remaining doubters, who question whether he can be as decisive against the top opposition.
Jose Mourinho knows that with a Suárez in his side, Chelsea would probably be Premier League title favourites.
Stat of the game: Liverpool have scored 29 goals in their last 14 trips to London in the Premier League.

Sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park
Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park / Photo by Brian Koprowski
When you plan a trip to a place like Canyonlands National Park in Utah, there's always at least one shot that's your "must get" photo of the trip. I'll be there at the end of August for three sunrises and four sunsets and at least one of those will be dedicated to Mesa Arch.
You see these great landscapes — like the one above by Brian Koprowski — and, if you're like me, you're blown away by the majesty of it all. You wonder what it must have been like to be the photographer sitting there in the pre-dawn darkness all alone with this magnificent scene.
Except, the reality is, you're often not alone. Especially, when it's an iconic location like Mesa Arch. And especially when that location is only a half mile hike from the parking lot.
I wrote Koprowski, a photographer from the Chicago area, and asked him about this scene. He said he got up early and made his way from Moab to Canyonlands where he was far from the first person to arrive at the arch.
"Once there, Mesa Arch was crowded with other photographers already lined up to shoot," Koprowski wrote. "I walked down and another photographer was gracious enough to let me slip in next to him."
He captured this image with a Pentax K-5 and a Sigma 10-20mm lens fitted with a polarizer filter.
I'll be in Canyonlands the weekend before Labor Day, so I'm expecting lots of company the morning we shoot Mesa Arch. While it would be nice to have the scene all to ourselves, if I can get a shot like Brian's I don't think I'll mind that much.

Find out more about me and the core values and beliefs my coaching is built on as well as the coaching topics I am most passionate about, on my website: www.tarabichicoaching.com
"Eva's coaching sessions have helped me enormously in both confidence and enjoyment in setting up my business as an Alexander Technique Teacher. I love my new job as an AT teacher but I have found starting my own business daunting and not necessarily where my talents lie. I was worrying a lot about the things I'm not good at and the mistakes I was making. Looking at my thought processes and recognising which are helpful and which are not has been highly valuable. I always feel lighter, happier and more positive after each session and leave with added enthusiasm and a strong direction for moving my business on. I can't recommend Eva and the coaching process highly enough. " Kathy Ponter - AT teacher
Training, qualifications & experience
Quality guaranteed:
I strongly believe in quality and the need for a global standard in coach training and practice. Therefore, I have been trained in two International Coach Federation (ICF) certified courses over one and a half years.
I am now a member of the ICF and am adhering to its code of ethics.
Furthermore, I am supervised by a Master Certified Coach (MCC) regularly and am constantly upgrading my knowledge by visiting continued learning seminars and courses.
Coaching experience:
I work as a coach since mid 2015 and have accompanied many clients to more well-being, success and happiness. My clients have mostly been English and French speakers as well as a few German speakers. Their age varied from 23 to 67 and I equally coach men and women.
I have coached sole traders and start-ups to successfully run different aspects of their business. I have coached mums to go back to their career. Other mums to embrace the changes and challenges of motherhood. Elite students to cope with stress and pressure. Extraordinarily talented people to perform better at their jobs and in their relationships. Sons and fathers to communicate better with each other. Women to better express their anger and men to be more connected with their emotions.
These are but a few examples: my clients bring the topic, and I bring the expertise to steer them towards obtaining their goals.
Experience previous to becoming a life coach:
In my coaching I also draw on my previous experience in an international career in EU politics.
Before re-orienting to become a coach, I worked for several international firms and projects (Linklaters LLP; German Asset and Investment Fund Association; Shanghai World EXPO) as well as major political institutions (European Parliament). This helps me to understand where my clients are coming from and what many of them are facing in their lives. I have studied and worked in 6 different countries and 5 languages, helping me to connect and empathise with a great variety of people, cultures and environments.
I coach in English, French and German. I am a native German speaker but have passed most of my studies and work life in English and French.
Working in different languages helps me to think outside the box. Languages frame our thoughts to a very big extent and as a multilingual person I am all too well aware of that. So, even if you only need me in one of those languages, my multilingualism will add to the depth of our coaching journey.
I also speak and read Mandarin and Spanish, however, not well enough to coach in these languages. If one of these is your native language, feel free to get in touch with me in it.
Areas of coaching I deal with
Other areas of coaching I deal with
Multicultural coaching/ Intercultural coaching
Coaching for mutlicultural teams, couples, friends so that they can communicate better and learn to respect each other's differences. Helping them to take the tremendous opportunity of being enriched by each other rather than confronting each other.
Photos & videos
I offer a free initial consultation to everyone interested. I think it is important that your coach really is the right match for you, so why not make an appointment and find out?
Individual clients: 60 £ per session.
Young families and students: 40£ per session*
Company and institutional clients: to be negotiated
The fee includes the session itself as well as a comprehensive summary of the session that will be sent to you after each meeting with me and supporting material that will be given to you when needed.
*I strongly feel that coaching should be more attainable for young families and students. Both of these groups usually have a limited budget but are facing major changes and challenges. This is why I have a special rate for them.
Further information
June 2017 - I am very excited to be coaching for the UK's Government Communication Service within its Early Talent Programme. Find out more on my blog post about this exciting project and my role as a coach in it:

Let's face it, talking to your significant other about money can be more than just uncomfortable and awkward; for many couples, it can become a downright battle. However, having open, honest, and consistent communication with your partner about finances is the most important step towards achieving a healthy financial future for your family.
Set aside an appropriate time to talk
When it comes to discussing finances with your partner, timing is key. One study found that 62% of married couples wished they had talked about money before their big day, yet less than half of engaged couples actually talk about their finances before the wedding. Prior to any major life change or commitment, such as moving in together, getting married, or starting a family, it's critical that both parties are on the same page financially.
Set aside a specific time to talk about your finances. Since money can be a sensitive topic for many people, it's important that you don't blindside your partner. Give them enough notice so they have time to think it over and prepare.
Don't play the blame game
Placing blame on one another will be counterproductive to achieving any sense of unity. Whether it's taking on too much debt, overspending, or not keeping up with bill payments, remember that everyone makes mistakes with money. Rather than pointing the finger at your partner, identify problem areas and address them as something that "we" need to work on "together," not as something the individual needs to fix on their own.
Come to the table with solutions
Everyone comes into a relationship with their own views and practices regarding money, so finding a common ground is critical to the success of your collective finances. The key is to come to the table with specific, realistic ideas that could help alleviate some of your financial concerns. For example, compare packages and price points from telecommunications companies, and consider switching providers to find something more affordable to bring your cell phone, cable, and internet expenses down. Or, discuss ways each of you could contribute to bringing in more income in order to reach your financial goals faster, such as taking on side projects that can be done on evenings or weekends, or perhaps taking on extra shifts at work. The point is to approach your conversations about money as constructively as possible and come up with real, practical solutions.
Work together to create a shared budget
One of the most productive ways to get on the same page financially with your partner is to develop a monthly family budget together. Write out all your monthly expenses, including rent, car payments, cell phone bills, and debt payments. Additionally, lay out all your variable expenses, that is, how much you intend on paying for things like groceries, clothing, entertainment, and so on. This is also an important step towards planning your savings, particularly your emergency fund. Decide with your partner what fixed amount of money you will allocate towards this fund every month and, over time, it will grow into a substantial financial buffer for unexpected expenses that may arise. Having three to six months saved up in your emergency fund for expenses will give you peace of mind should anything happen, whether it's a car or home repair, a job loss, or an illness in your family. Remember, a little can go a long way, so even if you start by saving just a small amount, you can always add to it as your budget allows.
Using free budgeting software, such as Mint, can help you stay organized, focused, and productive as you build your monthly budget. These budgeting tools provide an outline of what an appropriate budget looks like, providing benchmarks on how much of your income should be allocated for particular items. For a detailed example on how to build a budget, check out this Budget Calculator.
Once you've created a budget, you've got to stick to it! You can keep each other accountable by setting up a joint chequing account and monitoring your collective spending patterns. Additionally, if you create your budget using a more traditional spreadsheet method, you can set it up as a shared online document on Google Sheets™. This way, you and your partner can log in to your Google Docs™ and consult your budget anywhere and anytime. Better yet, download the Mint and Google Sheets™ apps on your phone. Joint access to bank accounts, financial documents, and budgets is a great way to foster shared responsibility and improved communication regarding your collective finances.
Consistent, open, and honest communication with your honey about money will help you get on the same page, work as a team, and build a stable and successful financial future together.

Usually when I want S to listen to me or to follow an instruction, invariably I find myself telling her that I will take some privilege away or threaten her with dire consequences.
I was surprised by how smartly she turned the tables on me this morning. S has been running a light temperature since the last few days, so when we decided to head out to do some Diwali shopping, we decided to leave her at her grandma's place since we also wanted to take our helper along to help out. S wasn't too happy with this situation. She started insisting that she wanted to come along too. I tried explaining to her many times that we weren't taking her because she wasn't well and didn't want her to get more sick. But none of this seemed to register. The pleading continued for a while.
Suddenly she changed tack and told me that if I left her at grandma's she would watch a lot of TV, implying that it wasn't something I would like and hence I should reconsider my decision. Tv watching at grandma's is usually uncontrolled and it's a bone of contention between my mom and me, which she is well aware of. I replied that I didn't care and she was definitely going to grandma's.
But it didn't end there. Her next words were - "I will watch so much tv and eat candy"! When I replied that I didn't care, she retorted, "I will eat 2 candies, and 3 and 4! How about that"? All this with a wicked twinkle in her eye. She knew all the things I didn't like that happened at grandma's and was throwing them in my face!
I was pretty impressed that she knew which things would bother me the most and was using them effectively. Very smart, don't you think?

Rooster Dude's nursery is SO CLOSE to being done!! I just can't even wait another second to share the progress. The only thing missing is the rocker chair and ottoman which are to be delivered later this week or early next!!
Of course, like two VERY mature adults, we like to live through our children and make their rooms something we secretly want. ;-) So, when Chicken Nugget came along I went all out with purple...and as she got her big girl room I channeled more of a vintage feel with Barbie accents. I wont lie, I pretend this is actually my room. Next thing we know we have a lil guy coming our way and The Turkey proclaims that he wants his boy to have sort of a sporty room. But, after much research and talking it over we both sort of decided that sports (football to be specific) was just SO OVER DONE. We just couldn't get excited over it. From there we moved on to one of Turkey's other passions and that would be music and guitars. We both immediately fell in love with this idea. Of course, I spent ridiculous amounts of time shopping on Etsy and luckily found that I was in luck. Totally cute guitar blankets/bedding were available. I'm talking some really cute stuff. I was officially locked in on this "theme." Between things I found on Etsy and my best friend helping me customize a few prints for the room this was all coming together easily for me! You will notice in the photos we only opted for only a guitar print blanket and not a real bedding set. I feel like all the pieces in a set don't get used enough serve a real purpose and also I don't enjoy things being all matchy-matchy...blah blah blah. It was such a fun room for me to put together as it stretched my girly comfort zone. We found our focus by using Turkeys favorite bands and songs as sources for accent piece inspiration. Some of my favorite things are the guitar case used as toy storage, Eagles (turkey's fav. Band) sheet music that we mod-podged to a painted canvas & the old guitar hung on the wall. Mother Hen had that beauty laying around in her attic just waiting for a perfect purpose just like this! The ducky lamp was mine as baby/kid. It's super important to me to include "special" pieces in my children's rooms. Since Im clearly a girl, this was about the only thing I had that would be at all appropriate for my lil dude.
So without further ado, here are the pix of his finished room minus the chair:
Last, just imagine this fab chair + ottoman sitting under these framed prints.
