Seeing that you wanted an upgrade from the comment that Tyler made above, you are truly a gentlemen to congratulate me on getting mine.
Thanks for being such a good sport and a friend.— Perrie
My 2-1/2 year old daughter just loves listening to the CD of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and watching the Yellow Submarine movie (she sleeps with the VHS casette holder). I guess kids know what's really for real -- and I've always enjoyed your own commentary very much, Sarge! Thank you!
— Rusty007
Sgt. Pepper is an awesome person and an invaluable asset to the Newsvine community. I honestly cannot think of a single time he's posted something that I've disagreed with (a true rarity on this site). Plus, he knows that I'm a huge Flight of the Conchords fan! What's not to like?
I believe the safe answer to the question about page appearances is 'sooner than you think'.
It'll be good when it happens, I'm sure - tech will take the time to make everything a smooth upgrade.

Time magazine chooses anxiety over revolution for U.S. readers
Notice anything different about the covers of Time magazine this week? I wonder why this is? Could it be that the cover story about anxiety is just so timely for Americans right now that it simply can't be published even one week later? I don't think that's it.
