David Soul, who has died aged 80, stormed to fame in the 1970s as half of the television “buddies” detective duo Starsky and Hutch, who careered across Los Angeles in their red and white Ford Gran Torino, over the roofs and bonnets of other cars, and through piles of cardboard boxes.

“When the Starsky and Hutch series was showing, police on patrol duty were adopting sunglasses and wearing their gloves with the cuffs turned down,” claimed Kenneth Oxford, a British chief constable. “They also started driving like bloody maniacs.” In south London, a council lowered a wall after fans of the tyre-squealing screen action used it as a launchpad to jump on to parked vehicles.

While Paul Michael Glaser played the streetwise, cardigan-wearing, junk food-eating Dave Starsky, Soul’s character, Ken “Hutch” Hutchinson, was the quieter, yoga-loving, healthy-eating one – two cool cops looking after each other as if they were brothers.

Over five series (1975-79), they patrolled a rough area populated by muggers, drug dealers, sex workers and pimps. They also fraternised with Huggy Bear (played by Antonio Fargas), a snazzily dressed, “jive-talking” informant with his own bar.

Soul traded on his newfound stardom to return to his first love, music. He recorded the ballads Don’t Give Up on Us (1976), a No 1 in the US and UK, and Silver Lady (1977), another British chart-topper.

His television career continued, but the starring roles rarely resonated beyond his homeland. An exception was the miniseries World War III (1982), in which he played an American cold war colonel trying to avert a nuclear holocaust. It also chimed with his political and social campaigning, which included supporting the anti-nuclear movement.

He took up the tempting offer to play Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1983), a five-part TV prequel to the film classic, in the role originally played by Humphrey Bogart, but it proved a flop.

Soul found renewed success – particularly on the West End stage – after moving to Britain in the 90s. He even hit the headlines beyond the review pages in the title role of Jerry Springer the Opera (Cambridge theatre, 2004-05), taking over from another American actor, Michael Brandon, as the “shock” talkshow host.

The BBC’s decision to screen Richard Thomas and Stewart Lee’s musical, complete with thousands of swear words, transvestites, tap-dancers dressed as Ku Klux Klan members and a nappy-wearing Jesus, received more than 60,000 complaints from viewers.

Soul simply relished the chance to fulfil his “dream to play in the birthplace of English-speaking theatre” after failing to “cut the mustard” when auditioning on Broadway.

He was born David Solberg in Chicago to June (nee Nelson), a teacher who had also performed as a singer, and Richard Solberg, a Lutheran minister of Norwegian descent. His father’s work as a representative of the Lutheran World Relief organisation during the reconstruction of Germany after the second world war meant the family moved to Berlin in 1949, returning to the US seven years later to live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where David attended Washington high school.

He then acted in plays while studying at Augustana College, before moving to Mexico with his family. Influenced by his father’s work, he initially had plans to join the diplomatic service, and learned Spanish and studied Latin American history. He was also taught to play the guitar by Mexican students.

After a year, he hitchhiked to the US, landed a job singing Mexican folk songs at a coffee shop in Minneapolis and set his sights on a career in music. He also gained some acting experience with the city’s Firehouse theatre company.

While talking with friends about the metaphorical masks people wear, he came up with the idea of wearing a real one while performing so that the music stood on its own merits, and billed himself “David Soul, the Covered Man”. The William Morris Agency signed him up after hearing a demo tape, and he soon had bookings. One was in The Merv Griffin Show on TV between 1966 and 1968, when he eventually dispensed with the mask. More significantly, a talent agent spotted his acting potential.

He had a regular role in Here Come the Brides (1968-70), a comedy western series set after the civil war, as Joshua Bolt, one of the brothers running a logging company in a male-dominated Seattle frontier town and importing marriageable women.

A guest star, Karen Carlson, became Soul’s second wife (1968-77), following the dissolution of his first marriage, to Mirriam “Mim” Russeth, in 1966, three years after their wedding.

Soul was then popping up all over American TV in guest roles himself, and had a short run in 1974 as Ted Warrick, the defence lawyer’s assistant, in Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law, before wider fame came in Starsky and Hutch. By then, he was living in an “open” relationship with another actor, Lynne Marta. When he moved on to his third marriage, to Patti (nee Carnel, 1980-86), former wife of the 60s pop idol Bobby Sherman, he hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

In 1982, having already struck Patti several times, he returned home drunk one night following a day’s filming on Casablanca – which he correctly feared would bomb – and hit her repeatedly. He was arrested on a charge of misdemeanour battery, but a judge spared him jail on condition that he underwent therapy. Soul admitted to having a violent streak and, although he and Patti were reunited, the marriage was soon over.

He kept working, landing starring roles as Roy Champion in the cattle ranch soap-style drama The Yellow Rose (1983-84), the private eye of the title in the TV movie Harry’s Hong Kong (1987), and “Wes” Grayson, leading an FBI forensics team, in Unsub (1989), but his star was on the wane. Another marriage, to Julia Nickson (1987-1993), also failed, before he had a relationship with the actor-singer Alexa Hamilton.

Soul’s career was revived when in 1995 the theatre producer Bill Kenwright was looking for an American to star in the comedy thriller Catch Me If You Can on tour in Britain. He played Corban, a newlywed whose wife goes missing. There were other tours and Soul was in the West End as Hank in The Dead Monkey (Whitehall, now Trafalgar, theatre, 1998), Chandler Tate in Alan Ayckbourn’s Comic Potential (Lyric, 1999-2000) and Mack in Mack & Mabel (Criterion, 2006).

In between, he had one-off roles on British television, including as a locum surgeon in two episodes of Holby City (2001 and 2002), a Boston detective helping to investigate his wife’s murder in Dalziel and Pascoe (2004) and a criminology lecturer in Inspector Lewis (2012). Soul and Glaser had cameos in the 2004 film spoof Starsky & Hutch, alongside Ben Stiller as Starsky and Owen Wilson as Hutch. In the same year, Soul was granted British citizenship.

He is survived by his fifth wife, Helen (nee Snell), whom he married in 2010, and five sons and a daughter.

Il Puppy Yoga sbarca a Torino: ecco come rilassarsi in mezzo ai cuccioli - FOTO E VIDEO

Cosa c’è di più rilassante dello yoga? Forse solo lo yoga con i cuccioli che scorrazzano tutto intorno. Anche se, a vedere una “seduta” dal vivo, pare un’esperienza più divertente che rilassante. E’ sbarcato anche a Torino il Puppy Yoga, una disciplina inventata negli Stati Uniti e arrivata in Italia solo di recente. In questi giorni sono partite le prime iniziative anche in città, come quella…

Prima di tutto, è importante sottolineare che la riduzione dei fianchi può essere ottenuta con una combinazione di dieta e esercizio fisico. La Lipo riduzione con il preparato Desobody o la tecnica ACRYOS di RENEVE sono opzioni di intervento chirurgico che possono essere considerate solo come ultima risorsa e dopo aver consultato Castellazzi Dr. Marco Per quanto riguarda la dieta di 1200 calorie, ecco alcuni suggerimenti per ridurre i fianchi: Ridurre l'assunzione di calorie: La dieta dovrebbe essere composta principalmente da cibi a basso contenuto calorico, come frutta e verdura, cereali integrali, proteine magre e latticini a basso contenuto di grassi. Bere molta acqua: Bere almeno 8 bicchieri di acqua al giorno può aiutare ad eliminare le tossine dal corpo e ridurre il gonfiore. Limitare l'assunzione di carboidrati: Ridurre l'assunzione di carboidrati può aiutare a ridurre il grasso corporeo, compreso quello sui fianchi. Si consiglia di limitare l'assunzione di carboidrati raffinati, come pane bianco, pasta, dolci e bevande zuccherate. Aumentare l'assunzione di proteine: Consumare abbastanza proteine magre, come pollo, pesce, uova e legumi, può aiutare a ridurre il grasso corporeo e mantenere la massa muscolare. Fare esercizio fisico: L'esercizio fisico regolare, come camminare, correre, nuotare o fare yoga, può aiutare a bruciare il grasso corporeo, compreso quello sui fianchi. Si consiglia di fare almeno 30 minuti di esercizio fisico moderato al giorno. #reneve #acryos #desobody #alydia #sodiodesossicolato #dimagrire, #salute, #benessere, #fitness, #alimentazionesana, #sano, #corposano, #allenamento, #motivazione, #perderepeso, #nutrizione, #dietasana, #pesosano, #fisico, #mangiaresano, #lifestyle, #foodporn, #ricettesane, #dietaequilibrata, #bellezza.

LOOKING FORWARD... “ In Attesa “ . Ho sempre pensato che se vuoi qualcosa te lo devi andare a prendere. Non si può rimanere fermi ad aspettare che le cose accadano per grazia ricevuta o che qualcuno lo faccia per te. L’attesa é quel tempo perso ( attesa in aereoporto, attesa del medico , attesa del tuo turno in cassa ) che io personalmente ho sempre cercato di impiegare in maniera produttiva come leggere, studiare , interagire con voi che siete la mia community qui sui social ecc... affinché diventasse prezioso e non più perso.

mha mentor headcannons!

pro hero!dekusquad as UA student!reader’s mentor!

characters: izuku midoriya, shoto todoroki, tenya iida, ochoko uraraka, tsuyu asui

summery: aged up au/pro hero au!dekusquad mentoring reader over there time at UA! essentially, it’s like an independent work study

izuku midoriya !

pro hero deku loves taking students under his wing

he lives to help students out like gran torino and sir nighteye helped him (and not all might, fuck all might)

he’s most likely to take in the smallest in the class, the one with the ‘weakest’ or most obscure quirk, or the ‘loser’ kid

what can i say, he just see’s someone like his self when he was young and he just needs to help out

and he is such a great mentor, with all his notes from his time in school and his time with his mentors

he does get nervous about his teaching style sometimes and worries that he’s doing more harm then help but deep down he knows he’s doing well for himself

speaking of his teaching style, he works you hard

it’s almost constant workouts and quirk training, he knows better than anyone how important control over your quirk is and he’ll have you work until you have complete control of your quirk

and when i say ‘almost constant’ i mean daily runs, in class stretches, 5 days of week of high intensity workouts, 1 day yoga, and one day rest

but in return he makes sure you know that he’s proud of how hard you work and how far you’ve come

he also sets you up with a meal plan so you’re getting proper nutrition with your intense training schedule

his main focus is quirk training and hero training, though he does teach you about being a part of an agency, publicity, patrols, and hero society

though because he’s the top hero those last parts are hard but he does his best

if for any reason he has to jump away from hero society teachings he’ll send out off to one of his friends from highschool or have one of his sidekicks accompany you

he really doesn’t like leaving you, especially since he promised to help you on your journey to becoming a hero but he does what he has to

and don’t forget that he’ll come visit everytime you land yourself in at home rest or in hospital to give you a light scolding and some food

and no matter how hard he works you, he cares very much about you

shoto todoroki !

pro hero shoto doesn’t often take students in for training after his history with over training because of his father

but he decided to try it out after midoriya met a young student with both of their parents quirks through his own mentorship of a student

like mentioned, he doesn’t take students under his wing often but he is willing if the circumstances are just right

but he is a good mentor, a little quiet and hard to read but good

he doesn’t really have a teaching style, he just tries to not be like his father

now he doesn’t do as much workouts but more quirk training and public image work

if you ever run into bakugo while your out with todoroki, he will 100% call you stupid for taking todoroki’s advice

but it’s not like bakugo has a great public image

and as he is also in the top rankings, he often gets called away but he’ll always apologize by taking you out for soba

he might just send you midoriya’s way if he isn’t busy

and everytime you find yourself top of your class in an exercise or completion he’s there at you next training with a congratulations and some coffee jelly

just so you know that he’s proud of your hard work

tenya iida!

okay, pro hero ingenium. i see him mentoring kids with some behavioural or over confidence issues. maybe a kid with a bad streak

he wants to help them to be the best hero’s they can be, which means helping them get their attitude in check and getting past their hard times

when doing this he isn’t mean or judgemental of the kid, he’s compassionate and shows them ways to communicate with the public and keep a good image up without changing who they are

he does a lot of focus on public relations, image work, and agency training

but he does keep a balanced schedule of workouts and quirk training

i’m fact he keeps you on a very strict schedule

including wake up times, homework, extracurriculars, individual workouts, cleaning, hygiene, meal plans, and a bedtime

it’s intense

but so worth it

you would make so much progress with him

and he ensures that you are aware that he’s proud and that you’re doing well

but he won’t inflate your ego to much

and unless it’s life or death, he won’t leave you during his training time with you

if he does have to leave, he makes sure to have you continue training and makes up for it with extra sparring when he returns

and after a hard week he might get you something to drink and something sweet, just to keep you on track- of course

totally not to cheer you up and remind you that you’re doing good

ochoko uraraka !

our lovely prohero uravity! i think she would be a fantastic mentor!!

she would definetly chose a student who’s underestimated or seen as an underdog, or someone who’s quirk is considered ‘one note’

she’s all about giving you a more diverse fighting style and showing you that your quirk can be used for more than just it’s obvious use

besides midoriya i think she would be the best mentor in 1-A

she just cares so much for you - i mean your dream of being a hero - that she puts her all into helping you

and like her friends, it’s intense working with her! she remembers feeling so exhausted and sore during her time with gunhead and aizawa-sensei

now it isn’t as planned as iida and midoriyas schedules, but it’s still pretty thorough

meal plans!!! every week she has a new meal plan for you and it’s always delicious! the meals she suggests are to die for. i couldn’t tell you why, but they’re so good

and you were not expecting how intense these workouts are- my lord it’s like she’s trying to kill you

but you make a lot of progress

and she loves having you around at her agency! and going on patrols with you!

she’s a very very well rounded mentor!

you probably will numb into bakugo with her, and though he won’t admit it, he’s scared that you could kick his ass after this mentorship

and of course, she personally brings flowers to your family and to you every time you get injured

and she’ll come visit you and spend time with you if you ever find yourself on bed rest

tsuyu asui !

the amazing pro hero froppy!! now i love her, but i just don’t see her being a great mentor-

not to say she’s a bad mentor, she surely isn’t!

but she has a very ‘my way or the highway’ out look, and her way doesn’t always match up well with quirk or experience

which is why she usually picks her mentee’s very carefully!

and when she has a kid she can work with, she thrives

she focuses mostly on hero society and hands on work, so prepare to be going on missions and patrols frequently!

every evening she’ll take you with her (and usually her side kick!) out on patrol with her, that way you can get used to interacting with the public as a pro!

and see just how boring some nights are-

but if something truly dangerous comes up, she keeps you out of harms way

and be prepared to deal with other pre hero’s a lot, she’ll often send you to talk with them that way you can understand the diplomacy aspect of being a pro!

that and she doesn’t like the diplomacy aspect herself-

and training with her is always interesting, she does t have you spar a lot but she does do a lot of terrain work

that means long distance swimming, diving, climbing, heavy snow, blazing heat, everything!

but she also does know when too much is too much and gives you days off
