No other comedian can generate headlines today the way Stephen Colbert can. With his appearance at a Congressional hearing, his rally in Washington, D.C., his bestselling book, his creation of the now-accepted wordtruthiness, and of course his popular TV show, nearly everyone (except the poor Congressional fools who agree to be interviewed on his show) has heard of him. Yet all these things are part of a character also named Stephen Colbert. Who is he really? In this book biographer Lisa Rogak examines the man behind the character. She reveals the roots of his humor, growing up as the youngest of eleven siblings, and the tragedy that forever altered the family. She charts his early years earning his chops first as a serious acting student and later as a budding impov comic, especially his close connection with Amy Sedaris, which led to the cult TV show Strangers with Candy. And Rogak offers a look inside how The Daily Show works, and the exclusive bond that Colbert and Jon Stewart formed that would lead to Colbert's own rise to celebrity. A behind-the-scenes look into the world of one of the biggest comedians in America. -- Publisher Description.

Hartwood Acres LbNA # 50661

|Hike Distance
Hartwood Acres is a beautiful area consisting of 629 acres located in Hampton and Indiana Townships. On its grounds is the largest and most spectacular country estate in the region. Built in 1929, it house a collection of 16th century antiques and really takes you back in time. There are tours of the mansion and grounds available(check the website). Also during the year, many activities are hosted at the park, including concerts and the annual Christmas/Hanukkah "Festival of Lights".
Box #1 (replaced 6/15/2011 because it got really wet!)
To get to Hartwood Acres, take the Turnpike to Exit 48 Allegheny Valley. When you go through the tollbooth, take the exit to the right toward RT 28. Follow this road(Freeport Road) thru several stoplights and turn right at the stoplight by Target, following Rt. 910/yellow belt to Indianola. Once you make the turn get over into the left most non-turning lane. Continue on RT.910/yellow belt for approximately 4 miles to the little town of Indianola. Continue thru the town on RT.910, past Kinder/Morgan oil tanks, over the turnpike, past Emmerling Plaza to a stoplight. (Behind Emmerling Plaza is Emmerling Park where two more letterboxes are hidden!) Turn left onto Saxonburg Blvd. at the stoplight. Continue on Saxonburg, past Hartwood Elementary for 2-3 miles. You will come around a bend and on your right will be Hartwood Acres. There is a sign. Turn in to the park and follow the road up to the mansion. There will be another sign along the road for mansion tours. Park in the far right parking lot, nearest the mansion. When you get out of your car, look up toward the back of the house. There will be a concrete/stone path and a large sign that says "Welcome to Hartwood". Follow along the stone path and wind your way along the back of the mansion and gardens. Continue around toward the front and the road. Take the road toward the odd looking beige and green maintenance shed. Go past the shed and enter the woods on your right. There is a "Share the Trail" sign and some red blazes. Enter the woods and follow the trail to the first crossroad. Turn right and follow the trail marked #8, there are no blazes. Continue down this trail to a fork in the road. Take the right fork, the one less travelled. Continue along this trail until you reach an intersection of many trails. Turn right and follow the trail #15 marked with white blazes. Stay on this path until you reach another fork. Take the left fork approximately 40 "kid-sized" steps to a very large tree. Stand facing the tree, and get out your compass. Now go north east, down the hill toward a large fallen tree covered with moss, approximately 45 "kid-sized" paces. Climb over the log. Look to your right where another much more decayed fallen tree creates a "V" with the log you just crawled over. The letterbox is hidden at the crotch of the "V", slightly underneath the first fallen log, covered by loose bark.
Box # 2
Leave letterbox #1. Continue on the small loop trail until it meets up with the main trail again. Go left and follow the main trail marked with white blazes. You will be on this trail for a little while, passing small streams (if there has been any rain) that you walk over on small rocks. After a while thru the woods you'll see a small pile of rocks on the side of the trail and the blazes will become white and orange where another trail has joined the white one. This is trail #17. You may or amy not see the sign. Continue a little further until you come to an intersection of trails that forms a triangle and a sign with # 15 and two arrows. Turn left onto the trail in front of you becoming white blazes only again. Follow that trail a little way until you come to another fork, continue left following the white blazes onto trail #14 marked by a sign. Go thru a small meadow, down a hill,and over a little bigger stream. Approximately 100 feet past the stream there will be a large fallen tree on the left side just a few feet off the trail. Go back toward the roots on the left side of the tree. Near the base, on the ground, under the tree, covered with leaves is letterbox #2.
This trail is not too strenuous, but does require some up and down of a few hills and rocks. It can be slippery and a little muddy if it has rained recently.
Thanks to R, M, M, A, and E for their help!

Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo found the net as Real Madrid started their La Liga campaign with a less than convincing 2-0 win over Cordoba.
Los Blancos were dominant for much of the game, but lacked the kind of threat and attacking fluidity that came to characterise them last season, with summer signings Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez handed places in the midfield lineup.
Ronaldo was given the nod from the start, despite his recent struggles with injury, although there was no place for Angel Di Maria, who is in England to complete his move to Manchester United.
Benzema opened the scoring in the first half with a bullet header from a Kroos cross, but Real failed to build on that goal until stoppage time at the end of the game, when Ronaldo struck a snap shot from 25 yards to secure the points.

Black San Antonio political leader diesJune 14th, 1937
On this day in 1937, Charles Bellinger died. Bellinger was born in Caldwell County in 1875 and worked in a Lockhart saloon as a teenager. He established his own saloon in San Antonio by 1906 and developed a reputation as an exceptional gambler. He expanded his activities to include a pool hall, a cafe, a cab company, a real estate and construction company, a theater, a barbershop, a private lending service for blacks, a lottery, and a bootlegging operation during Prohibition. Bellinger entered local politics in 1918 and, with the aid of black ministers, developed support among black voters for John W. Tobin, who served as sheriff and mayor, and later for the Quin family. In return the city government provided the black neighborhood with paved and lighted streets, plumbing, a meeting hall, and a branch library, as well as improved recreation facilities and schools. African-American political participation set San Antonio apart from most Texas and southern cities and stimulated the state legislature to require a white primary in the 1920s. In 1936 Bellinger was convicted of failure to pay income tax, a conviction that resulted in a fine and an eighteen-month sentence at Leavenworth penitentiary. Illness led to his transfer to a government hospital and to a parole granted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt« Previous Next »

How much extra would you pay for Made in the UK Over anywhere else in the world?
I'm currently developing a new product and was wondering if its worth trying an non UK manufacture for my kits. It may be cheaper or may not without me getting quotes.
But how much extra would you happily pay for it to be made in the UK?
So Problem is:
Company site is split into two main parts. A semi used blog which is mainly used for hosting documentation so I can't really get rid of it.
Company shop is on subdomain store.ryanteck.uk
Google thinks that store.ryanteck.uk is a sub section and not a web store.
Can't merge together due to shopify forcing its own link styles along with the documentation requiring the same links otherwise complaints about not being able to get instructions.
It's based around the Magician robot chassis with a Raspberry Pi driving the electronic motors using an easy to build electronic circuit.
It's low cost, easy to make and lots of fun.

With the general elections just around the corner, the Central Police Office (CPO) has revealed a comprehensive security strategy for the Punjab province as special task forces are constituted, comprising senior officials from the intelligence, security, and law enforcing agencies and local administration.
The special task forces, also called intelligence and security committees, are given the tasks to implement the Master-Plan to ward off any possible terror attempt besides providing security cover to the leading personalities, and international delegates during the elections 2013.
A couple of days ago, the Punjab police released a security strategy to be implemented across the province during the forthcoming elections to ensure peace, law and order and security for the leading personalities.
Perhaps, for the first time in the province, the government has decided to ensure close liaison among various intelligence, security, law enforcing agencies, and local administration at the provincial, regional and district level.
A police spokesperson said that Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab, Aftab Sultan, constituted various special committees to monitor the security situation round-the-clock by ensuring proper contacts among different security, intelligence, and law enforcing agencies to maintain, peace, law and order. The task forces would also provide security cover to the national leaders, important personalities, and, international journalists during the General Elections 2013 across the Punjab province.
The Provincial Intelligence and Security committee comprises 11 members and headed by Additional-IG Punjab. Commandant PC, Additional-IG Special Branch, Additional-IG (CTD), DIG Operations Punjab, Additional Home Secretary Punjab, and representative of Intelligence Bureau, ISI, MI, and DG Rescue-1122, and DG Civil Defense are members of the committee.
This committee would report to the IGP about the security and intelligence related issues involving national leaders, important personalities, and international journalists in the province.
The Regional Intelligence and Security committee comprises 8 members and headed by the RPO concerned. The DPOs, SPs of Special Branch and CTD, and a representative of divisional administration, Intelligence Bureau, ISI, MI, divisional head of the Rescue-1122, and divisional head of Civil Defense would be the members of the committee.
The committees would not only share intelligence with the security committees on regular basis but also actively work on the threat assessments. The committees are also directed to properly implement the code of conduct of the Election Commission of Pakistan for the Election 2013. In the light of the Master Plan, it will be the responsibility of the committees to review security plan.
Similarly, the District Intelligence and Operational committees headed the DPO concerned would also be established in each district. The SP Headquarters in each district, SDPOs, and a representative of district administration, Intelligence Bureau, ISI, MI, Rescue-1122, and Civil Defense would be the members of the committee.
The committees would not only share intelligence with the security committees on regular basis but also actively work on threat assessments. The committees are also bound to properly implement the code of conduct of the Election Commission of Pakistan of the Elections 2013. In the light of the Master Plan, it will be the responsibility of the committees to review security plan.
Since caretakers have taken over in the center and the provinces, pledging free, fair, and transparent elections in the country, the initiatives like "ruthless scrutiny" of the candidates and the involvement of all the intelligence agencies at grass-root level has raised a few eyebrows in the country's political system. Critics say that the move could an attempt to victimize some politicians in one or the other way.
Police officials believe that since the country is facing multiple internal and external security challenges, it is the need of the hour for the security, intelligence and law enforcing agencies to share intelligence and work together to ward off any possible terror attempt.
They argue that providing protection to the international observers and delegates is also the prime responsibility of the law enforcing agencies and all necessary steps would be taken to ensure peace.
Security officials say that since the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had planned multiple suicide attacks to target key politicians and public rallies during the general elections, they have to take the threat alerts more seriously.
On the other hand, uncertainty has gripped the entire police department as the government is planning a major reshuffle to bring new officer to replace the hand-picked of the previous regime. Only time will tell whether the new provincial police officer puts the right men at the right places or he would "say yes" to the recommendations to be sent from the quarters concerned.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to the two-hundred and fifty-fifth in a series of examinations of comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous two hundred and fifty-four.
Comic Book Legends Revealed is part of the larger Legends Revealed series, where I look into legends about the worlds of entertainment and sports, which you can check out here, at legendsrevealed.com. I'd especially recommend you check out this installment of Music Legends Revealed to learn what tragedy inspired the song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and just what sort of twisted band name Stone Temple Pilots tried to use before they went with their current name.
Also, starting this past Tuesday, you can read Sports Legends from me at the LA Times' website! Check out the first one here.
Let's begin!
COMIC LEGEND: The teddy bear was inspired by a famous CK Berryman cartoon that appeared in the Washington Post on November 16, 1902.
STATUS: False Enough for a False, for an interesting reason
In November of 1902, the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, an avid hunter, went on a bear-hunting trip while he was in Mississippi to give an opinion over a border dispute. The trip was covered with much interest by the nation (well, at least by the nation's newspapers, as he had a large amount of reporters following him).
The trip was nearing its close and most of the hunters had managed to bag a bear, but not the President.
Figuring that it would look good for the President to kill a bear, Roosevelt's aides found a young black bear and after a long, hard pursuit of the bear with hounds, and after clubbing the bear nearly to death, Roosevelt's aides managed to tie the bear to a tree and then informed the President that here, here was a bear that you can kill!
Roosevelt was disgusted at the unsportsmanlike nature of the notion, and refused to shoot the bear (although he did tell his men to put the animal out of its misery).
The news of Roosevelt's decision made its way back to Washington DC, and Clifford "CK" Berryman (who I featured in the Stars of Political Cartooning here) produced a cartoon that would become famous all throughout the United States, being reprinted in many newspapers.
Titled "Drawing the line in Mississippi" (a play of words on the border dispute Roosevelt was there for), the November 16, 1902 cartoon depicts Roosevelt choosing not to shoot a cute little bear…
That cute little bear would be come to be a trademark of Berryman's, and he would work it into most of his cartoons about Roosevelt for the rest of Roosevelt's presidency (and even after Roosevelt finished his time as President)….
The cartoon apparently inspired a candy shop owned by Morris Michtom (who would often make little stuffed animals with his wife to sell in the store) to begin selling a stuffed bear toy (after receiving permission from Roosevelt) as "Teddy's Bear," which, of course, became known as a Teddy Bear and soon become one of the most popular toys in the world. This led Michtom to form Ideal Novelty and Toy Company, a company that still exists today (here is a "Teddy Bear" from 1903)…
(there's debate over whether the popularity of these bears necessarily came from Roosevelt, or if there was just a bit of a zeitgeist with stuffed animals during the early 20th Century, as a German stuffed animal company ALSO began to push stuffed bear toys at around the same time, without being influenced by Roosevelt – but that's really neither here nor there)
But here's the twist in the whole endeavor.
That cartoon by Berryman?
NOT actually the cartoon he drew in the Washington Post originally!
Despite it being referred to as such by many different sources, here is the ACTUAL cartoon Berryman originally drew…
As you can see, it is the same basic concept, but it was a quick, very rough drawing, NOT the detailed piece that is shown all the time.
Clearly, when there appeared to be interest in his original from other newspapers, Berryman decided to completely re-draw the entire cartoon, including coming up with an entirely different look for the bear, going from a normal looking bear to a cute, cuddly bear. And it is that re-drawn cartoon that became syndicated all over the country. And it was that re-drawn cartoon that inspired the "teddy bear."
So if you ever see the "cute little bear" cartoon passed off as the original (and you'll see it often if you look for it), you now know better!
I read that Moby based his life on Teddy and his infamous beat hunts.
The best thing about that joke is that it works even after I edit out the typo!
The Modesty Blaise movie is an amazingly bad piece of camp, so bad it's almost good. And it has little to do in tone or story matter with the strip. And Modesty had an Italian accent!
Nice added piece of trivia about Stamp being Caine's flatmate as well. That's like the icing on the cake
Dutch and Danish are not the same thing . . .
Is it Dutch or Danish? I mean, they're so totally different – it's not like they're both Germanic-speaking Northern Europeans, right? (I'm sure the Dutch is wrong, because that certainly looks like Danish!)
D'oh! Edgar beat me to it!
A typo I suppose.. You mean "Sir Gerald" and not "Sir Gabriel".
.. and that Star Wars adaption is clearly danish and not dutch.
Yes, the text is Danish.
Eh, it doesn't seem all that suggestive… unless such a remark is more suggestive in its native Danish.
It does tickle me to think of Alfred and General Zod living together…
You were all confusing me for a sec there – until I realized I had accidentally written "Dutch" at one point. Phew, that makes more sense! Thanks for the pick-up!
At the risk of picking nits, I really don't see the Teddy Bear legend as being false. Redrawn or not, it's essentially the same cartoon both conceptually and in layout. I'd call it "True, but with a technicality".
Look at the first cartoon and see what they say for the date – November 16, 1902.
That's not the cartoon that appeared on November 16, 1902, but it is routinely presented as though it was.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your point that because the actual one inspired the re-make, then by syllogism, it also inspired the teddy bear, but what I think is the most important thing to get out of this is that the wrong cartoon is being referred to constantly. If you look up the cartoon, easily 9 out of 10 references will show you the re-make (that came out a week or so after the original) and not the original, but cite it as though it were the original.
[…] Comics Should be Good: Comic Book legends Revealed #255 […]
Y'know, there's only two things I can't stand in the world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
@The Crazed Spruce: possibly the single best line to come out of an Austin Powers movie.
Eh, it doesn't seem all that suggestive… unless such a remark is more suggestive in its native Danish.
I'm Danish and I read these translations as a kid. If you want to as an adult then this scene would imply something other and then this line could be cheecky.
As could the original line: "Gee, are you little fellows any fun?" … in bed… But as this is referring to a little cute animal this would mean something like kids bringing a stuffed teddybear to bed to cuddle…
"Må jeg ikke nok få dig med i seng" doesn't really translate to "Can I please take you to bed with me?" unless you want to be understood like that.
You wouldn't say say this line if you want to have sex and I'm fairly sure the translator didn't do this overly on purpose.
Phrasing of the Teddy Bear legend could be a bit clearer, since obviously no one relating the legend is really that fixated on the date. The point is the origin of the toy and the phrase.
Great stuff, Brian. A few random comments:
1. Celebrity visual models: This is always a fun game to play. A few examples:
Captain (Shazam) Marvel: Fred MacMurray (CC Beck version)
The Joker: Conrad Veidt (as seen in THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, Bob Kane version)
The Kingpin: Sydney Greenstreet (John Romita version)
The FRank Miller Daredevil: Robert Redford
Norman Osborn: Joseph Cotten (my personal theory)
Doctor Strange: Vincent Price (Steve Ditko version)
Tony Stark: Errol Flynn (Don Heck version)
2. MODESTY BLAISE: What is truly odd about the wretched 60s version is that the film makers seemed to go out of their way to make Monica Vitti not look like Modesty. This curious choice is driven home by the one sequence in the film where she does look like Modesty (Wearing a dark wig styled a la Modesty and wearing her black catsuit). In that scene, Vitti bears an almost astonishing resemblance to Modesty.
Danish and Dutch actually sounds pretty close to each other. Both languages is Latin and German mixed with French. However Dutch can't really understand Danish but for others it sounds quite similar and also have somewhat similar cultures. Danes are known for releasing pornography and Dutch for more or less legalizing canabis.
I don't really see Joseph Cotten as Ditko Norman Osborn.
Aaron, when I speak of the Teddy bear, I always reference 16 Nov 1902.
"Can you imagine how trippy it must be to use some unknown actor as the basis for a character and then see that actor become one of the most famous actors in the world?"
Actually, I can. Well, sort of.
While my characters have certainly never reached a level of awareness as, say, Modesty Blaise, I've definitely had it happen multiple times where I deliberately go out of my way to choose a moderately unknown actor or actress to represent one of my role-playing game characters, only to have that actor or actress get a job shortly afterwards that radically boosts their awareness to the general public. It's happened at least three times in the last decade or so that I can remember.
Ironically, I've never seen it as being a neat thing to happen, or a happy sort of coincidence. More along the lines of, "Drat, I picked an obscure actor because I didn't want people to realize what my inspiration was, and now it's obvious!"
I wonder if Peter O'Donnell felt the same way when Michael Caine became a star?
Though, incidentally, was it actually Peter O'Donnell (the writer) who based Garvin on Caine, or would that have been more Jim Holdaway (the artist)'s idea? If we're just talking physical appearance, I'd be more inclined to think the artist would be the one who chose it (just like John Constantine looking like Sting was originally the influence of the artists wanting to draw someone who looked like Sting…), but I suppose it's entirely possible that O'Donnell wrote the character with Caine in mind, and then just showed a picture of Caine to the writer and said "make him look like this…"
T: "I don't really see Joseph Cotten as Ditko Osborn."
Take a look at the IMDB gallery for Cotten. In particular, look closely at Cotten's hair. Then mentally render that hair a la Ditko.
A few more celebrity models:
Mary Jane Watson: Ann-Margret (John Romita version)
Hal Jordan: Paul Newman (Gil Kane version)
Guardians of the Universe: David ben Gurion (Gil Kane version)
Reed Richards: The professor from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND (Alex Ross MARVELS version)
Charles Xavier: Patrick Stewart (Alex Ross MARVELS version; this one is uncanily prescient)
Frank Miller Kingpin: Donald Pleasence
Gene Colan Dracula: Jack Palance
Michael Caine starred in Alfie. He also played Alfred in the latest Batman films. Dick Grayson calls Alfred "Alfie" in the Batman & Robin comics.
Just saying.
Speaking of lazy artists using people's faces, I remember a Who's Who entry where it seemed the artist used Patrick Stewart (who had already appeared in Dune) for the face of Tharok (in a picture of him before his cyborg surgery) and another one where Syrene resembled Jennifer Connelly.
These people better start using an Identikit to avoid lawsuit. Just construct someone's face that way.
BTW, if you've never seen Zulu, you really need to. One of the greatest war movies ever, with one of the most mind-blowing endings in film history.
Though, incidentally, was it actually Peter O'Donnell (the writer) who based Garvin on Caine, or would that have been more Jim Holdaway (the artist)'s idea?
Oh, sorry, did I not include that line? My apologies – O'Donnell did, indeed, send Holdaway a picture of Caine (from a newspaper clipping – I believe O'Donnell said of a theater performance) and said something along the lines of "base Willie Garvin on this guy."
I have to agree with Mutt…no one to this day has had made a last 20 mins of a war movie like Zulu…twists and turns galore
That's totally amazing, the links involving Modesty Blaise…but that's why I love reading these type of columns. You never know the historical connections that you'll discover….
@Trajan23 — actually, I'd say the model for Dr. Strange is more David Niven than Vincent Price.
David Niven was also the model for the original version of Sinestro, per John Broome.
Actually the Danish translation dialed it down quite a bit. In our language and common usage "at sove sammen" (to sleep together) merely means sleeping in the same bed/room/house. On the other hand a more direct translation of the original line – "Er der noget sjov ved dig?" – from a woman, served with a smile, would be perceived as a rather strong indication of sexual interest, if not an open invitation.
BTW, if you've never seen Zulu, you really need to. One of the greatest war movies ever, with one of the most mind-blowing endings in film history.
I hate hate HATE when people tell you a movie has a mind-blowing ending or a great twist. That counts as a spoiler even if you don't get speciific because now the whole time watching the movie, you'll be waiting for something mind-blowing to come at the end and trying to predict it.
Steven E McDonald: You are dead on, I would say, for Sinestro. However, I strongly disagree with the idea that David Niven influenced Ditko's take on Strange. For that matter, Price as Strange seems to be the common consensus, not merely my own opinion (Strange's official middle name is even Vincent).
Some more artistic models:
Frank Miller's Elektra: Lisa Lyon (a late 70s to early 80s female bodybuilder; mostly used as a model for Elektra's physique).
The Alex Ross young Nick Fury in MARVELS: Don Johnson
Alex Ross is known for copying human actors. IIRC, he told Wizard that his Wonder Woman is Lucy Lawless.
But another fun one is Jessica Drew is the Alias comic. You can't help but notice the distinct connection to Jennifer Connoly (who, when you think of it, might make a good Jessica Drew on film).
More comic book characters modeled after real people:
Uncle Marvel: W.C. Fields
Jonah Hex: Clint Eastwood
Tony Stark in "Marvels": Timothy Dalton
Jesse Bravo: Errol Flynn
Blueberry: Jean-Paul Belmondo
The Rocketeer's girlfriend Betty: Bettie Page
John Constantine: Sting
His Name is… Savage: Lee Marvin
Vartox: Sean Connery
Has it been confirmed that Kevin Maguire modeled Maxwell Lord after Sam Neill?
Oh wow, yeah – Joseph Cotten's hair is definitely Osborn-esque. Whether or not Ditko used it as a model is another matter entirely, but as someone who has never been able to make much sense out of exactly what the hell Osborn's hair is meant to resemble in a real world sense, that's an eye opener. 'Specially in this picture:
Sucks that guy ruined that 45 year old movie for that other guy.
The image of a bunch of presidential aides furiously chasing a bear through the woods chasing, clubbing it, and tying it to a tree for the President to execute is oddly amusing to me.
I don't know if Joseph Cotten was an inspiration for the appearance of Norman Osborn. He looked more like Lon Chaney to me.
I've read that when DC created the Golden Age Green Lantern, based on the legend of Aladdin's lamp, someone suggested that Alan Ladd would be a name sort of like Aladdin … when This Gun For Hire made Ladd a star a couple of years later they were kicking themselves for going with Alan Scott.
There was a very good pilot from the eighties for a Modesty Blaize TV series in the US. Ann Turkel as Modesty and the guy who later played Sable, IIRC, as Willie.
In his autobiography, Caine has some great stories about the responsibilities of rooming with Terrance Stamp–mostly making sure that when his second date of the night showed up, she was kept busy until date number one left Stamp's bedroom.
Hey, anyone remember those Wizard Casting Call articles? They would often suggest people to play various roles, but I only recall Patrick Stewart as Xavier coming true. Anyone think of any others?
The reasons I'm not convinced Joseph Cotton is a model for Normal Osborn is that cotton's hair, while slightly wavy with a widow's peak, is not as extreme as the tight, small waves and extreme widow's peak of Ditko's Norman Osborn. And the actual face of Cotten doesn't seem as ruggedly large and blocky as Ditko's Norman Osborn's facial features like the chin and jaw. Also, Ditko reused that hairstyle on several insignificant background characters and two other major characters, Harry Osborn and Sandman. That hair just seemed to be something he liked to draw. Also, Cotten didn't have that part in the middle:
All those other guys are fine — just don't tell me that Goody Rickles is based on anybody.
All those other guys are fine — just don't tell me that Goody Rickles is based on anybody.
Don and Goody Rickles were based on Don Knotts.
Zulu is one of my all time favorite Michael Caine movies but Stanley Baker was pretty good in it too. I could swear they sampled parts of the Zula war chant though in the beginning of "Gladiator"
Doh! that should read "Zulu war chant"
Anonymous – I always thought Maxwell Lord was based on Sam Neill.
Fraser – the Golden Age Green Lantern/Alan Ladd /Alan Scott story was I'm sure covered in a past Legends Revealed.
I sure hope that female alien meant she wanted to take LUKE to bed and not the talking hairless chihuahua.
For the younger readers on here, the dude (Terence Stamp) in the last pic is General Zod from Superman II.
Count me in as another huge fan of Zulu. If you haven't seen it yet, do so. Timeless stuff.
And yeah, the JLI creative team have mentioned how they based Max Lord on Sam Neill, if memory serves after seeing him in the third Omen movie. He's practically Max's current, evil version right there. Check it out.
As soon as I saw Silk Spectre in the Watchmen movie, my friend and I both looked at each other and said something like "My god, wouldn't she have made an AWESOME Mary Jane Watson?" instead of that horribly uninteresting lump of banality Kirsten Dumpst.. Mary Jane's got more pizzazz in an old hangnail than Dumpst brought to that role, Malin Ackerman could have nailed it. She was good as Laurie too, though.
"Count me in as another huge fan of Zulu. If you haven't seen it yet, do so. Timeless stuff."
Oh great! Another spoiler for this movie. Just stop already!
Oh great! Another spoiler for this movie. Just stop already!
Uh…that's not a spoiler, genius.
Well i didnt see one of the most obvious and recent actors used as models for characters, Tommy Lee Jones for Norman Osborn!
"Uh…that's not a spoiler, genius."
No kidding…genius.
As you probably know by now since millions of readers have told you:
Tarrant´s first name is Gerald. NOT Gabriel. Gabriel is Modesty´s archenemy.
These things happen.
Best regards
Jan Elvsén, Sweden
To those couple of posters who asked – yes, it was confirmed in a JLI letters page at the time that Kevin Maguire based Max on Sam Neil (specifically on his performance as Damien in Omen III)
T, A few comments regarding the Joseph Cotten as a model for Norman Osborn controversy:
1. The Ditko style: Unlike , say, Alex Ross, Steve Ditko is not a photographic realist. When Ross uses someone as model for a character, the similarity between the model and the character is readily apparent (e.g., his use of Patrick Stewart for Charles Xavier). Ditko, in contrast, is a cartoonist. He is presenting us with a stylized depiction of reality. One must "translate" the Ditko images into their real world equivalents.
2. "is that Cotten's hair, while slightly wavy with a widow's peak, is not as extreme as the tight, small waves and extreme widow's peak of Ditko's Norman Osborn": As noted above, one must view Joseph Cotten through the Ditko lens, so to speak. Ditko's visual shorthand style takes Cotten's natural characteristics and exaggerates them. To use your language, Ditko is presenting us with an "extreme" version of Cotten. Secondly, a close study of individual panels indicates that Osborn's hair is not as tight as you suggest . In Amazing Spider-Man #37, page 15, panel 1, a long, straight strand of Osborn's hair waves in the air as he moves. Again, on page 16, panel 6 of the same issue, Osborn's hair moves in a similar fashion as he strikes Spider-Man from behind.
3. "the actual face of Cotten doesn't seem as ruggedly large as Ditko's Norman…": Again, as mentioned above, Ditko's style exaggerates reality. Hence, rendered a la Ditko, Cotten's moderately craggy features become more robust.
4. "Ditko reused that hairstyle on several insignificant background characters and two other major characters, Harry Osborn and Sandman. That hair just seemed to be something that he liked to draw": I am not quite sure what your point is in this passage. Are you implying that Ditko's fondness for drawing this hairstyle is proof that it is not based on Cotten's? If so, I could just as easily argue that Ditko liked the hairstyle because he liked Cotten. Furthermore, the reference to Harry's hair does nothing to advance your argument, as Ditko plainly intended a father-son resemblance.
5. "Cotten didn't have that part in the middle": This seems to be true. At least, I have not been able to find a photo of Cotten with a center part. I would argue that that is a flourish on Ditko's part.
For me, even the idea that the "teddy bear" came from Roosevelt not killing a bear was a legend, so for you to provide so much detail on that as an incidental thing in the process of disproving something else was surprising!
Hey, that Dannish reprint has more graphic quality and colors than the original one!
[…] here to read […]
Pretty sure it was just a common hairstyle at the time (or within memory at the time). It's just any wavy-haired guy using Bryll Creem to style.

PHILADELPHIA Penn State University trustees named former FBI director and federal judge Louis Freeh on Monday to head an independent investigation into the child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the university.
Freeh told a news conference that the investigative team run by his law firm would examine gaps in Penn State's "control environment," oversight and culture that allowed years of alleged abuse to go undetected and unreported.
"The scope of our work will be broad, covering a lengthy period of time," Freeh said.
Word of the investigation came as a psychologist working with one of Jerry Sandusky's alleged abuse victims, now a senior in high school, said his client had been forced to leave school because of bullying.
Sandusky, 67, a former assistant football coach at Penn State, was charged this month with multiple counts of sexually abusing eight young boys over a 15-year period. In a nationally-televised interview, Sandusky denied he abused the boys and said he is not a pedophile.
Two former university officials were charged in an alleged cover-up. They have also said they were innocent.
The board of trustees fired legendary football coach Joe Paterno and Penn State's president for failing to tell police about the allegation of abuse once they learned of it.
Paterno's dismissal was said to have triggered the bullying that a youth, known in court papers as "Victim One," has suffered, a local newspaper reported.
Students at Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, about 30 miles northwest of the Penn State campus in State College, blamed the 17-year-old for Paterno's firing, psychologist Michael Gillum told the Patriot News.
Paterno's lawyer, J. Sedgwick "Wick" Sollers, said in a statement that his client condemned the bullying:
"Coach Paterno strongly condemns harassment or bullying of any kind, and he asks anyone who truly cares about Penn State to conduct themselves honorably and with respect for others."
Victim One, like Sandusky's other alleged victims, met the former linebacker coach through the charity "The Second Mile" that Sandusky started in 1977 to help at-risk children. The survival of the charity is now in question.
Multiple investigations have been launched into what led to Sandusky's alleged crimes and the university's response, including the one by the board of trustees that has now engaged Freeh and his law firm.
"We have to do an investigation that is perceived by everyone as fully impartial and comprehensive," said Ken Frazier, chairman of the trustees' special committee. Freeh, FBI director from 1993 to 2001, has no ties to Penn State.
"The scope of his work will be expansive, and he is free to take his work to whatever conclusions he deems appropriate," Frazier said, adding that no one, including the trustees, would be exempt from the review.
Some have criticized the trustees for being blind-sided by the grand jury report into Sandusky's alleged crimes and the role that university officials might have played in covering them up, even though the existence of an investigation was reported earlier this year.
There is no specific time-frame for Freeh to complete his investigation and the findings and recommendations will be made public.
Freeh said investigators he has assembled include former FBI agents and prosecutors with decades of experience, including some with experience in pedophile cases.
The team has established its own toll-free hotline and e-mail address for tips relevant to the case.

I loved the synths, they were awsome. The bass is also very nice. The only thing that got a little anoying was the delay on piano, but it'll pass ;)

Good song! I almost liked it more than the original, lol, (cause the original's got bad vocals). You could have added more to it, but it's sounds fine as it is. =)

Menopause sounds like it could be the end of a lot of issues women face on a monthly basis - no more PMS, no more cramps, no more accidental stains, no more pre-period breakouts, and no more tampons! But as it turns out, all those miseries can be merely replaced by others.
For many women menopause is no vacation. Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, crawling sensations on the skin, insomnia, acne, oily and dry skin, mood swings, unwanted hair growth, and hair loss on your scalp can all come on with a vengeance when menopause hits.
In addition to skin problems caused by accumulated sun damage, lifestyle choices, and your genetics, menopause just makes matters worse. Your skin becomes thinner, begins to sag, and is less elastic. Seemingly overnight, many women find that their skin has taken a nosedive toward looking older. Maybe those monthly cramps and mood swings weren't so bad after all.Read More Below
Whether you are going through perimenopause (which are the changes your body goes through before the onset of menopause), or already well into menopause, great skin care can make a difference. What is important to realize is that menopause is NOT a skin type and does NOT require special skin-care products. Let me explain:
I would love to say that there are skin-care products out there that can reduce the changes menopausal skin may experience, but there aren't for these reasons:
Menopause occurs when your body makes less of the hormone estrogen than it did when you were younger. There is research showing that applying topical estrogen to skin can help. But what about putting plants on your skin that have estrogen-like properties (called phytoestrogens)?
Certain plant extracts such as soy, black cohosh, yam extract, DHEA, and evening primrose oil, to name a few, are thought to be helpful when applied topically for menopausal skin because they are phytoestrogens. Yet research has not shown this to be case. Their benefits aren't any different from those of other anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients found in well-formulated skin-care products.
What about skin-care products containing actual bio-identical hormones or taking estrogen or progesterone orally? When taken orally, there is no question hormone therapy can have benefit for skin, but there are also possible risks that you need to discuss with your physician. In terms of topical application, there is little to no research supporting the exaggerated claims you will find online are true.
Because menopause is not a skin type, the same rules for all skin types apply: Treat the skin type you have and make sure the products you choose give your skin the brilliant ingredients it needs at any age. For example, if you have dry skin, oily skin, rosacea, acne, etcetera, you need to use skin-care products The Paula's Choice Team rated highly for those problems. You'll find all of our recommendations on Beautypedia.
Not all menopausal women have dry skin, but if you do, then products we rate highly for dry skin will work, regardless of your age. Again, you do not need to go shopping for products labeled as being for menopausal (or mature) skin!
Here are the basics for all skin types when you want your skin to stay as young as possible:
It is essential that you use skin-care products that are right for your skin type: If you have dry to very dry skin use emollient lotions and creams with the ingredients mentioned above. If you have oily, slightly dry, or combination skin with stubborn oily areas, use lightweight gels, serums, or liquids containing those ingredients.

Uhmmm.. Good!!
If you like a tawny, rich and slightly (very slightly) sweet porto, this is it. My first taste was at the Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT about 8 or so years ago. The only problem with this wine is it very hard to find! It is very full of woody, rich flavors and has a wonderful after-taste.
Tasting Notes
Porto Ferreira Dona Antonia Reserva Tawny has a beautiful red colour, with intense tawny shades that recall its slow maturation in wood. Its bouquet is intense and rich with hints of very ripe fruit (plum, apricot and marmalade) and floral notes. Complex, its spice and nutty notes derive from the evolution in oak wood, through oxidation In the mouth, it is a full-bodied and rich-flavoured wine, extremely well balanced, that combines elegance with a delicate yet persistent finish.
Technical Notes
This wine is from Portugal, Port region. Dona Antonia is a unique port, named in homage to the stately founding lady of the House of Ferreira. Its slightly amber red colour hints at the intense, rich and complex aromas of ripe fruit. This most elegant port is a carefully selected blend of the finest grapes of the Douro.Ideal as an accompaniment to desserts and strong cheeses, Dona Antonia also makes an elegant aperitif to accompany canapes.
