Charlie Chaplin's first sound picture is a source of great excitement, but City Lights turns out to be a silent picture with a synchronized score and some sound effects; and becomes a huge success. The majority opinion is probably that it's the best picture of the year---and certainly it is a sublime achievement---but at this point in my life, I prefer to see Ernst Lubitsch's delectable third musical (in as many years), The Smiling Lieutenant, a bittersweet masterpiece with Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, and Miriam Hopkins, perhaps the only musical with an ambiguously unhappy ending. The uniquely magical world of Lubitsch, like the land of Mozart at once both light and dark, becomes more enchanting and precious with each passing year. But then, as John Wayne says in Rio Bravo, I'd hate to have to live on the difference: Chaplin's picture is still pretty devastating, that final closeup justly famous and haunting. Also essentially a silent movie is F.W. Murnau's and Robert Flaherty's Tabu, a dazzlingly beautiful, poignantly simple and tragic love story, combining the best elements of two profoundly different filmmakers, the illusionist and the poetic documentarian.
Now, King Vidor's Street Scene, based on the Elmer Rice drama set on one New York City block, is a brilliant example of how to adapt a play into a film; King saw a fly walking on a sleeping man's face, and thought that to the fly this person's face was an enormous area, so turning his camera into a fly, one city block could also be enormous. His vision was dead on, and paid off with a fascinating work. In a different vein, Vidor directs Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper in the tearjerker classic, The Champ, his second picture in my top ten. Also with two in the top ten is Josef von Sternberg, who continues his run of exotic odes to Marlene Dietrich with Dishonored, in which she plays a hooker conflicted between love and patriotism; and he also has released a somber, unromanticized, sharp version of the Theodore Dreiser novel, An American Tragedy (20 years later to be the basis of George Stevens' far more popular adaptation, A Place in the Sun).
The father of film narrative, D.W. Griffith, directs his last film, The Struggle, which gets terrible notices accusing this towering figure of being out of touch with the present, but it's a bum rap, for the picture is strikingly modern, about a man's alcoholism, graphically shot on the real streets of the Bronx. Yet the pans stick, the film tanks, and for the last sixteen years of his life, D.W.G. can't get a job---a tragic, irreplaceable loss.
For his second talkie, Howard Hawks does an uncharacteristic story---a harsh prison picture---with a particularly strong turn by Walter Huston, and fine support from Boris Karloff in his "first really important part," as Boris put it (having played a small role in Hawks' Scarface last year). Though this year also sees the release of James Whale's Frankenstein, which instantly makes Karloff a star and gives him a niche for life. Karloff also remains the one indisputable master stroke in an otherwise over-rated work (but then I'm not a horror fan). Also over-praised is The Public Enemy, crudely directed by William Wellman, with only fair writing, but it made James Cagney a star overnight, and he remains the only big reason to see the picture: he is pure dynamite, and will subsequently become one of the truly great star-actors of the Golden Age. Funny, he almost didn't get the part; indeed, he was first cast in a supporting role, but when he and the lead (Edward Woods) were in scenes together, Cagney pulled focus so strongly that Jack Warner had them switch roles. If it hadn't been this picture, though, Jimmy still would have become a star in something: he was born a star.
John Ford has three films released: a prestigious, if not especially personal, Sam Goldwyn-produced adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' best-seller, Arrowsmith, about an idealistic doctor, with Ronald Colman and Helen Hayes; plus two bread-and-butter programmers, Seas Beneath, with some pretty dated acting but numerous Fordian touches in embryo form, and The Brat, which has only one memorable sequence---an hilarious cat fight between the brat and a society girl.
Alfred Hitchcock, still in England (till the end of the decade), does a fine version of John Galsworthy's drama, The Skin Game---with some occasionally pretty stilted dialog---but distinctively handled by the future Master of Suspense; a morality tale well suited to the director's temperament. Sidney Franklin, a journeyman director at MGM for years, gets two glorious opportunities with two superb stage comedies: Noel Coward's irresistable romance Private Lives, and Ferenc Molnar's farce about actors, The Guardsman, but unfortunately Franklin brings little to the party, yet the casts save the day: Robert Montgomery and Norma Shearer studied the original Private Lives theatre-production's stars and staging--Noel Coward himself directing and playing the lead, with the divine Gertrude Lawrence as his co-star--- and did their best to reproduce the sparkle. For the Molnar, two of the greatest Broadway stars of the day in their first and only movie, the Lunts---Lynn Fontaine and Alfred Lunt; the movies diminish their mesmerizing stage presence and they both hate how they look. They needed George Cukor, of course, but they do better than they think.
Meanwhile, Cukor is busy over at Paramount with two releases, Girls About Town, concerning two high-priced N.Y. call-girls---very well played by the adorable Kay Francis and Lilyan Tashman with Joel McCrea as the love interest --- dated script but exceedingly likeable; also Tarnished Lady, a quite old-fashioned melodrama, yet the direction and star performer, the legendary Tallulah Bankhead, remain untarnished. Two (or more) releases too from Allan Dwan, Frank Borzage, and Frank Capra: Dwan's Wicked---clearly a "second feature"---is the most quickly plotted 55 minutes in pictures; there's a killing, unjust sentence, imprisonment before the first reel is over. Far-fetched script but an object lesson in directorial economy and pacing. Dwan's Chances is an effective World War I drama and one of his most respectable early talkies. Borzage's Bad Girl is in his usual romantic-antagonistic male-female tradition, with fine sparring from James Dunn and Sally Eilers; the script runs out of steam but Borzage's charm keeps it alive. Doctors' Wives clearly doesn't hold as much interest for Borzage yet retains his narrative ability, and his romantic personality shines through. Capra's Dirigible is a well done, though average, action picture, but his drama, The Miracle Woman, a good fictionalized view of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, is the filmmaker's second time (out of five) working with the brilliant, can-do-anything Barbara Stanwyck, always known as his favorite actress, and not at all surprising.
Adventurous Raoul Walsh has a couple of releases as well but only The Yellow Ticket is worth a look, though it's an uncharacteristic setting---Russia, 1913---still vigorous, fast-paced romantic melodrama with a very callow Laurence Olivier and pretty hammy Lionel Barrymore. Finally, the screen's most successful and famous director in his day, Cecil B. DeMille, does his third version (first with sound) of The Squaw Man, about an Englishman who flees his country for America, marries an Indian girl, followed by multiple complications, of course, done with DeMille's usual crude narrative skill. Howard Hawks summed up C.B. to me once: "DeMille was so bad he was almost good."

"And speaking of the newspaper biz, where's Capra's PLATINUM BLONDE? The lead, Robert Wiiliams, is obvious star material, but he died not long after the film came out. Jean Harlow is an odd choice as a Long Island society type (this could only happen at Columbia Studios), but Loretta Young is extra nice as the 'right' girl."
It's amazing to think that Harlow was all of 20 when she made this film (she wouldn't really find herself as an actress until 1932, when she shows signs of progress in "The Beast Of The City," then fully blossoms in "Red-Headed Woman" and "Red Dust"), but she's not the junior star; that title goes to Loretta Young, who is playing a big-city newspaperwoman at age 18! Could some of our younger stars today pull off such maturity? Tend to doubt it.
"Then, back home @ M-G-M, Gable gets to be mean to Norma Shearer, in her daring Pre-Code mode, in the ridiculously entertaining A FREE SOUL, the decor alone makes this worth a look."
Had a best supporting actor category existed in 1931, Gable certainly would have been nominated for "A Free Soul," and there's a good chance he would have won. The '31 Gable was brutish in his magnetism, far less refined than the charming rogue we came to know later in the decade. He and James Cagney brought a new persona to male screen roles, one that better fit the challenging times of 1931 when the recession which had begun with the 1929 stock market crash bottomed out into full-fledged global depression.
"BTW, thanks for giving THE SMILING LIEUTENANT so much attention Any film that lets Claudette Colbert sit down at a piano to play and sing 'Jazz Up Your Lingerie' has earned its place in the sun. How'd Lubitsch ever make this treat in Astoria? What an amazing man."
Great film, great song ("Be happy, choose snappy...music to wear"); don't forget Miriam Hopkins' contribution to the film, either. (Supposedly, Carole Lombard sought the Hopkins role, and while Carole is my all-time favorite actress, she probably wasn't quite ready yet for such a challenging part -- although one could argue she had more sex appeal than Hopkins. Of course, eventually Lombard would work with Lubitsch.)

In silence,Karloff spoke volumes in Frankenstein,while others spoke little and said nothing..."Talkies" really did cripple and set back a great visual medium that had begun to take off as never before in 1927-29..By 1933 they would have the kinks worked out,never the less theres plenty to love in those first few years.
I can't think of any 2 films better to start off a list than The Smiling Lieutenant and City Lights.A couple of my faves are James Whale's ,Journey's End-2hrs of nothing but talk in a WW1 Trench and never a dull moment...and Archie Mayo's 1931 Vitaphone live action cartoon,Svengali-maybe there is hope for cinema as a visual stimuli and Jack Barrymore is as engaging to listen to as he is to look at..
Rick K. | February 22, 2011 10:11 AM
Peter ... You should not allow your personal partiality against horror films color your judgement of truly notable achievements in cinema. I previously sensed your dislike for the genre when you wrote so despairingly about MAD LOVE (1935) in your essay The Kane Mutiny ... that film, by Karl Freund and Gregg Toland, is actually a horror classic. James Whale's FRANKENSTEIN is indeed immortalized by Karloff's masterful performance, but Whale's treatment was a transitory one with stylized flourishes which identify him as both a signature artist in an auteurist sense, and one who creatively nurtured and inspired genre conventions at the onset of a period now acknowledged as "the golden age of horror". At any rate, I hope you won't ignore Whale's THE OLD DARK HOUSE and Karl Freund's masterful THE MUMMY when you roundup your selections for 1932.
Also, I feel you have unfairly overlooked William Wyler during this period, whose HELL'S HEROES (1930) and A HOUSE DIVIDED (1931) are remarkable, cutting edge works. Both of these are compelling films which, in many respects, were ahead of the curve toward refinement of narrative technique during the early sound era. Whatever you may feel about his later career, this period finds Wyler at his most enterprising and resourceful (see also COUNSELLOR AT LAW, 1933).
MAK | February 21, 2011 10:01 AM
Just for neatness . . .
Everybody writes Lynn Fontaine, but it's actually Lynn Fontanne. (Flo Ziiegfeld gets the same treatment; everybody turns his name into Ziegfield.)
A few extra picks from '31:
The Marx Bros left Paramount in Astoria and made MONKEY BUSINESS at Paramount in Hollywood. A real film, not an embalmed stage show. And there's lots of S. J. Perelman material in the script.
Over @ Warners, Mervyn Leroy made one of his better films: FIVE STAR FINAL with Eddie Robinson, Aline MacMahon & another nice bit from Karloff. A little slow, but as timely now as then, plus lots of newsprint atmosphere.
And speaking of the newpaper biz, where's Capra's PLATINUM BLONDE? The lead, Robert Wiiliams, is obvious star material, but he died not long after the film came out. Jean Harlow is an odd choice as a Long Island society type (this could only happen at Columbia Studios), but Loretta Young is extra nice as the 'right' girl.
And it's fun to watch M-G-M spot Clark Gable's huge potential in George Hill's THE SECRET SIX - Gable only gets sixth billing, but they basically throw the picture to him. He even gets the fade-out shot at the end. You can almost feel Thalberg watching the dailies and changing the film's focus right in the middle of production.
On loan @ Warners, Gable treats Barbara Stanwyck plenty rough in NIGHT NURSE, another uneven William Wellman project, but Joan Blondell is on hand to be make nice,
Then, back home @ M-G-M, Gable gets to be mean to Norma Shearer, in her daring Pre-Code mode, in the ridiculously entertaining A FREE SOUL, the decor alone makes this worth a look.
And if you've ever wondered where the O.J. Simpson team got the bit about 'the glove won't fit,' well, this is where it came from. But instead of a glove, Lionel Barrymore, as Shearer's brilliant, but alcoholic lawyer/father, does the same routine with a HAT that won't fit.
BTW, thanks for giving THE SMILING LIEUTENANT so much attention. Any film that lets Claudette Colbert sit down at a piano to play and sing 'Jazz Up Your Lingerie' has earned its place in the sun. How'd Lubitsch ever make this treat in Astoria? What an amazing man.

I always understood that Flaherty and Murnau began as co-directors (and collaborated on the story), but were pulling in different directions and Flaherty wound up leaving before the film was finished. I don't take away anything from Flaherty or any contributions he might have made, but the film always felt definitively to be a Murnau work to me, more and more as it moves from idyllic opening to tragedy, and best appreciated as his film. And as it's his last, this is important.
Of course, it's Murnau's tragic death that ended his career, but it's still interesting his last film is in the same year as Griffith's. I like what you said about THE STRUGGLE and would only add that I would have TABU at the top of my list and THE STRUGGLE second. Of course, I don't take anything away from CITY LIGHTS--and especially don't feel differently from you or anyone about the ending. No one else could do what Chaplin could do as an actor--and did any actor ever direct himself better? And THE SMILING LIEUTENANT is a wonderful movie too, of course, but for me Murnau has the strongest claim on sublimity here, and Griffith and Chaplin have their share.
William Wellman was always uneven, and that goes for his generally uneven pre-codes too. What you said about PUBLIC ENEMY is completely fair. But one of own two votes for a film not on your list would be for one of Wellman's other 1931 films, the stunning and brilliant, if still obscure, SAFE IN HELL, for me one of a just a few Wellman films I consider to be really great.
The other one is THE LAST FLIGHT, very unusual movie and I consider it the best one I know of William Dieterle (his first American film too), thoug personally I'm a long way from having seen all of his films and have no strong feeling about how his body of work holds together.
Chris Barry | February 19, 2011 4:40 AM
I love your quote above re: FRANKENSTEIN and Karloff: "but then I'm not a horror fan."
Of course! Correct me if I'm wrong, TARGETS, one of the best "horror" films of the late 1960s is actually "anti-horror."
BTW - another great post!
PB | February 18, 2011 10:06 AM
I understand Flaherty served as a producer and worked extensively on the
script, and the picture certainly has a Flaherty quality in many ways.
KC | February 18, 2011 5:53 AM
Hi. Sorry for pedantry, as I very much enjoyed this article, but just seeking a clarification: Tabu is listed as "F.W. Murnau and Robert Flaherty's film" both in the text and in brackets used to indicate the films director in the opening list. I always thought that Flaherty just worked on the story and did not direct or co-direct this film.
The article makes no mention of other screenwriters by name so I was wondering why the promotion of Flaherty to being co-author, as it were, of the film? Is this due to an indiscretion in research, a highlighted collaboration because of his own celebrated name as a film-maker or a mistake on my behalf?

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Pigeon Forge is the glitz to Gatlinburg's rustic as tourists approach the Great Smoky Mountains. It's where Dolly Parton is from, and many of the attractions have the famed country singer's stamp all over them.
We had heard about the Dixie Stampede, so on our recent sojourn to East Tennessee we decided to take in the country-style dinner theater. It's one of a kind, nonstop entertainment from start to finish.
A word of warning: While the food is sumptuous, it is served entirely without utensils. So if you are fastidious about getting your hands greasy you may not enjoy it.
We were ushered into the "carriage room" for the opening act, a string band titled Mountain Ruckus, consisting of a banjo, guitar and string bass. It's an old-fashioned saloon (minus spirits) where you can order up a variety of beverages and popcorn to whet your appetite, and appropriately costumed saloon girls bring it right to your table. In anticipation of an impending full meal, we decided to pass, although we picked up one of the souvenir boot-mugs somebody left behind when we headed for the arena.
Dixie Stampede is in fact a Dolly Parton enterprise, though quite understandably her personal presence is limited to Memorex. The show is a modern-day Wild West revue, themed around a contest between North and South. We were on the north side, though I don't recall if we specified it when we ordered our tickets or not – but somehow all the Northerners were on our side and the Tennessee-Alabama-North Carolina-Georgia crowd were across the way.
The show begins, and then the servers start bringing the meal. We had a whole rotisserie chicken, barbecue pork loin, creamy vegetable soup (the bowl had a handle so you could drink it), a homemade biscuit, corn on the cob, herb-basted baked potato and a melt-in-your-mouth iced apple turnover, plus choice of beverage (we opted for Diet Pepsi). All of it had to be eaten with the hands.
It was all delivered with assembly-line efficiency, and they kept our drinks filled as well. When the meal was over each guest received a hot towel, the better to restore your hands in time to reach in your wallet for a tip.
The downside was it all happened while the show was going on, requiring divided attention.
Besides 32 horses and riders, there were races – pigs, chickens, ostriches, even lumberjacks. They were timed and the points added to determine the North vs. South winner. That night the South won.
But Dolly, on video, smoothed it over on the finale. "In reality there is no North or South, there is no East or West," she said. "We are all Americans, and we all love freedom." That led into her final number, "Color Me America."
The next day we visited Dollywood, opting for the many sitdown shows and museums instead of rides. At our age it's much more appropriate.

It's going to be a Matt Taylor-stravaganza over at Comic Con next week! In addition to the Sunset Overdrive print I just blogged about, here's something else from Mondo.
Batman: The Animated Series is rightly regarded as one of the high-points of animation of the last twenty years, and as part of the ongoing Batman 75 celebrations, Mondo are releasing a limited 7" of the title score for the show. There are going to be a bunch of variants, of which my Harley Quinn piece above is one.
This was a huge amount of fun to draw, especially the Joker singles scattered across the floor. As before, these will be on sale at San Diego Comic Con next week - follow Mondo on Twitter for more info.

Tank Top Knitting Pattern Yarn Choices
Monday, March 28th, 2011 by Rhonda Bell
With the help from the saleswoman at the yarn store, I came home with four different balls of yarn:
- Louisa Harding Albero, 50% Cotton, 50% Lenpur (Viscose), 50 grams (1.76 ounces), 110 yards (100 meters), 20 stitches X 26 rows = 10 cm/4 inches, 4.5 mm/7 US, $8.00
- Araucania Ruca Yarn, 100% sugar cane, 100 grams (3.52 ounces), 263 yards (241 meters),22 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches, 3.75 mm/4-5 US, $14.00
- Berroco Pure Pima Yarn,100% Pima Cotton,50 grams (1.76 ounces), 115 yards (106 meters), 22 stitches X 26 rows = 10 cm/4 inches, 4 mm/6 US, $6.00
- Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy, 34% Hemp, 41% Cotton, 25% Modal, 50 grams (1.76 ounces), 153 yards (140meters), 22 stitches X 30 rows = 10 cm/4 inches, 3.5 mm/4 US, $7.00
I must be a loose knitter because I can never get the gauge on the ball band with the size knitting needle that is recommended. I first knit up the Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy with a size 2 needle but decided to go down to a size zero because I didn't like the look of the fabric. However, that going down needle sizes did not help. The resulting fabric is too scratch and stiff. I will not be using this yarn for my tank top.
The yarn I liked best of the four yarns was the Araucania Ruca Yarn. It has a nice drape to it and feels soft. Because it is hand dyed it has slightly different shades throughout the skein, it has depth of color. I only bought one ball of this yarn so I will need to purchase more. The yarn does not have dye lots and they recommend alternating between balls to get a consistent color in the garment. That could be a problem, but I like this yarn enough that I may not mind so much the extra knitting effort.
You can read my full reviews of both these yarns at: Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy Yarn Review and Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy Yarn Review. I also reviewed the Louisa Harding Albero and Berroco Pure Pima Yarn yarns, neither of which I will be using for my tank top.

Students engage in leadership seminar
Presenting a different kind of seminar, a former Oregon state representative helped Linfield students discover what it means to be a true leader. A small group showed up to listen to Jefferson Smith speak March 14 in Riley Hall, 201, expecting a lecture.
But Smith told everyone he didn't want to do one of his speeches because they can easily be found on the Internet. He was more interested in getting to know the students in the audience.
"It's way cooler to do something that we can't replace," Smith said. He wanted to focus on answering questions and creating a dialogue.
He asked members of the group to think of traits that belong to a great leader. Students came up with characteristics like persistence, innovation, cooperation and responsibility. Smith suggested books and further resources that related to almost every trait written on the whiteboard.
Smith said leaders don't necessarily need to be charismatic, but rather should embody discipline and selflessness.
"I don't think someone who's magnetic or loud is necessarily a worse or better leader. Someone who is loud and obnoxious, or maybe shy and reserved, can make a tremendous leader."
Smith then asked everyone to think of an example that linked to one of the leadership traits. Sophomore Ian Franceschi gave the example of Vlad the Impaler, or Dracula, as a great leader, which gave the group a good laugh.
"He was a slave for the longest time to the Turkish Empire. He ended up coming out of the woodworks from his slavery and coming back to his people with ideas that were used within the Turkish and Mongolian armies. He brought those ideas back and ended up becoming one of the most feared men, and leader-oriented men in all of Europe in his day," Franceschi said. "The lesson is, I would say he was innovative."
Smith connected this example to the different eras of leadership in the world.
"For centuries, rule of the world was based on control of the best weaponry. I think the rule of the world today is dictated by access to the control of capital. The question is what the next era of history is controlled by, I think by ideas," Smith said, giving his "dumb" interpretation of the arc of history.
Then he asked students to brainstorm the hard parts of being a leader, the things that most people would rather avoid. Asking for help, maintaining support, dealing with conflict and staying motivated were a few ideas that students came up with.
With regard to motivation, he advised everyone to "never, ever, give up," as Winston Churchill once said in a speech.
Smith gave advice for what he could, but said that for some, he had no answers. He admitted that he is actively working on being able to deal with the hard parts, such as losing, criticism or failure.
Smith ended his presentation by saying that the most important thing a leader can do is develop other leaders. To lead is to empower, he said.

Customer Reviews
V3100 Replacement TankAdd your own review . See all reviews
Apart from a slight mix-up in shipping (they sent me 2 caps rather than 2 tanks), this order was exactly what I needed. When customer service was contacted, they immediately rectified the mishap, and I received the tanks within days. I have one unit in my bedroom and one unit in my daughter's room. The units were bought about a year apart, and both replacement tanks fit perfectly. The price on this site is also the best I found anywhere. I am very impressed with the level of customer service Kaz.com provides, and will definitely shop here again!
This product is just the water reservoir (the blue/white piece). The picture only shows the blue top, but it is the entire top piece of the humidifier, minus the round cap that holds in the water. I had broken the blue plastic part, so this was perfect for me, but if you've lost the round cap then save your money!
I also have a Vicks humidifier model V3100 and I also need a new cap for the tank. So come on Kaz Step up to the plate and take of your customers using your products and sell us a new cap for the tank.

The Murders of David and Carol Keeffe: Suspect and Arrest
On the day his house was searched, DeSisti was taken to the Athens Township Municipal Building twice, where he was questioned in an ongoing police interview. When confronted with information that his supposedly missing Smith & Wesson .22-caliber handgun had been found by police inside his house, DeSisti reportedly became nervous and told his interrogators that his wife had given him the gun prior to their marriage. He later contradicted that statement and claimed that the gun had been given to him by his grandfather. He said it was the only handgun he'd ever owned. The detectives duly noted the inconsistencies of his statements.
Earlier in the investigation, a PSP shoe-impression expert had compared the photographs of the bloody boot prints left by the perpetrator as he exited the crime scene to those in a database of footwear images. A match was not made at the time, and the impression expert set about trying to find a match by making inquiries at local footwear stores, also to no avail. After the search at DeSisti's home and the identification of the brand of boots that he seemed to prefer, the expert realized that the footwear-impression database had not come up with a match because it had not included Cabela's Outfitter series boots in its data. When the expert compared the bloody footprint photographs with the Cabela Outfitter boots that DeSisti had been wearing on the day of the search of his home, he found that those boots, along with two other pairs of boots of the same type seized from his basement, matched, according to a grand jury finding of facts. The expert concluded that any of the three pairs of boots, including the pair that DeSisti had been wearing, could have left the bloody footprints at the crime scene.

Bethesda has been way too busy fixing all of the glitches that keep popping up in their mega-monster hit, Skyrim. And then they have to fix the glitches that their fixes caused. They've been quite busy, too busy to even discuss a DLC posibility for Skyrim.
Or have they?
ZeniMax Media, Bethesda's parent company, filed a trademark in February for the word "Dawnguard" as it relates to video game software, which includes downloadable content. The trademark does not specify anything else. Speculation is bouncing around because of Skyrim's Mythic Dawn cult and Redguard race.
Do the assumptions add up for you or is this too close to reaching for straws for your taste?

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Just days after he helped save a family from a raging apartment fire in Clairemont, a heroic San Diego police officer is at it again.
This time, officer Zach Bradley pulled a suspected drunk driver out of her wrecked vehicle. An SUV flipped over and hit a natural gas meter on the side of an apartment building in Clairemont.
It happened just hours after Bradley wrapped up a press conference where he spoke about rescuing a woman and her two daughters as they jumped from a second-story building engulfed in flames Tuesday morning.
SAN DIEGO (CNS/CBS 8) - A San Diego police officer who helped two teen-aged girls and their mother trapped on the second story of their apartment building to escape during a raging fire Tuesday morning is being heralded a hero.
One of the first public-safety personnel to arrive at the two-story complex, San Diego police Officer Zach Bradley, rescued two girls, ages 13 and 16, and their mother by catching them as they jumped out a window of their burning second-floor apartment, SDFRD spokesman Maurice Luque said.
Officer Zach Bradley says he was just doing his job.
"It's what we're trained to do," the 27-year-old said during a news conference Wednesday evening. "There was no other way to evacuate at that moment in time"
"Officer Bradley deserves a lot of credit," said Captain Sean Murphy of San Diego Fire-Rescue. "I believe he saved their lives."
The two-alarm fire tore through a Clairemont apartment complex Tuesday, injuring four people, leaving 21 residents homeless and causing about $1.1 million in damages.
A cooking accident sparked the blaze in the 3800 block of Caminito Aguilar just after midnight, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
It took firefighters about a half-hour to subdue the flames, which spread through a total of four rental units, Luque said.
Medics took two teenage girls and two women to hospitals for treatment of smoke inhalation and non-life-threatening burns.
The American Red Cross was called in to help the displaced residents arrange for emergency lodging.
Investigators determined that the blaze was sparked by grease that caught fire as a resident was cooking french fries in her downstairs apartment, Luque said.
The monetary losses were set at $900,000 to the structure and $200,000 to contents.

Liu Wen, Tao Okamoto & Others by Terry Tsiolis for V #71
It's been a while. I guess many Asian girls are hoping to look like European, Amerian or anyone not Asian.
But I find Asian girls very beautiful and sophisticated. I don't get amused by those massive makeups that japanese girls usually put on their faces and stupidly huge fake eyelashes.
These are my favorite Asian models.

On Monday morning shortly before noon, Gillian Bennett dragged a foam mattress from her home on Bowen Island to one of her favourite spots on the grass, facing a craggy rock cliff, the place she had chosen to die. Bennett, who was 85 and in the early stages of dementia, chose to take her own life with a draught of good whiskey, a dose of Nembutal mixed with water and her husband of 60 years by her side.

Let's say you only need $10, but you have to withdraw $20 from the ATM. You know how that goes.
A few weeks ago two big banks said they would be introducing ATMs that would give you cash in any denomination in any amount you want.
The first of those new ATMs is now in the valley. It looks like a tablet, but this is the new ATM that may end the hassle of having to withdraw more money than you actually need.
"It allows you to withdraw one's, five's, 10's, 20's and 50's," says Ahmed Wabli, Chase Bank branch manager.
Right now there's only one in the valley, and it's located at the Chase Bank inside the Fry's on Via Linda and Pima in Scottsdale.
"If you walk up, you're looking to get $18 because you are going to a movie and that's the exact change you need… if customers are just looking to get a couple of dollars for a vending machine or a kids lunch money or they owe someone $276."
Soon it will even be able to dispense coins.

I love being an entrepreneur. I'm a realistic dreamer– I dream big and believe there's a way to make it a reality. I never take "no" for an absolute answer because I've worked in sales for more than 15 years and have heard lots of "nos" before the desired "yes." I do take calculated risks by following my intuition. I have an innate obsession for living life to the fullest and trying to make a difference in the world. Lucky for me, I married someone with my same passion and traits and this is why my husband and I started Project Left Behind.I've always had the longing to own a business. I believe you must have an entrepreneurial spirit to be a successful salesperson. I've also had fervor for food and cooking since I was five years old. To this day, I never follow a recipe completely; I always add my own variation to it. Combine this love of food with fitness and nutrition, which have been an integral part of my life since I was 17, and it seems I was destined to own a natural food company.When my husband and I adopted two beautiful boys from the Ukraine who were vitamin deficient, I became extremely focused on preparing creative, flavorful, super-nutritious foods for them. NuttZo is one of my favorite creations.One of the greatest things that happens to me these days is having new customers send me emails because they've tried NuttZo and are just going crazy over its amazing taste! Love that.Some of the best advice I've ever received from a mentor is to work smart. If you work and get burnt out, you lose. I set aside one hour a day for working out. I know my body and I need that time to re-energize; I call it my boardroom meeting with me, myself, and I. You'd be surprised by what great ideas come out of it.I have very thin margins, as most small manufacturing companies do. It's very hard to compete with big manufacturers. If you want to continue to get unique and high quality items, please help all the small manufacturing companies by telling your friends about their fabulous products. We couldn't be successful without the help of our avid NuttZo fans. Thank you! Eat NuttZo. Your body will thank you!Thanks for your support!Warm regards,

Does cell phone use pose a danger in flight? The debate has been going on for years, and in 2012 the FAA began a study looking into the matter.
According to a report on The Huffington Post, the FCC has recommended to the FAA that restrictions on cell phone use on aircraft be eased. That recommendation was made last month in a letter to the head of the FAA.
In a report made last fall, the Associated Press reported that the FAA doesn't ban devices such as smartphones and laptops, but says airlines can only allow them to be used if they have been tested not to interfere with the electronics in the cockpit. The report says with thousands of new devices coming out at such a fast pace, airlines just ban them during takeoff and landing.
The FAA will not have an answer to the study until March.
What do you think? Should the FCC ease the restrictions on cell phone use while in flight? Post your comments on our FOX 5 Atlanta Facebook page, or tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Members of Congress are visiting the University of Alabama to see the place where former Gov. George C. Wallace made his "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door" against racial integration 50 years ago.
The leaders will be in Tuscaloosa on Friday for commemoration program.
The event will held at the auditorium where Wallace tried to block the enrollment of black students at Alabama in 1963.
Among those greeting the delegation will be a daughter of Wallace, Peggy Wallace Kennedy.
The program is part of the 13th annual Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimage. Tuscaloosa was added as a stop because this summer marks the 50th anniversary of Wallace's stand.
Congressional members will be in Selma on Sunday along with Vice President Joe Biden for a commemoration of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march.

Ask The Experts: Favorites Of London Fashion Week-------
London fashion week is drawing to a close, and the fashion set is headed for Milan tomorrow, where Gucci opens the week. But as we've scooted around town for the innumerable parties, shows, presentations, and teas (this is London, after all), we've been asking everyone along to name their picks. Below, a few of London's finest sound off on what they liked.
"I thought Peter Pilotto was outstanding." —Jefferson Hack (He was cautious to add, "But it's not over yet—a lot more could happen.")
"The bags at Topshop were amazing, and it had a lot of tasseled dresses and swimsuits. I really, really liked it." —Julia Restoin-Roitfeld
"I saw Erdem, which was beautiful. The whole setting was perfect for it and what a perfect day for it! I [also] liked Roksanda [Illincic]. The colors were beautiful and also the fabrics she used were so soft." —Browns' Mrs. B
"I've loved a lot of things, actually. Meadham Kirchhoff, I thought was amazing. I thought they really honed their aesthetic—[there was] some continuity of what they did last season but better, I think. Also, I really, really loved Holly Fulton, Erdem, Louise Gray, Richard Nicoll…the list goes on, to be honest!" —Style Bubble's Susie Lau
"My absolute favorite, hands down, has been Meadham Kirchhoff (left), without a doubt! It was so excellently executed, so beautifully layered. The colors were amazing. They basically did what Courtney Love should have done back in the nineties!" —Browns buyer Erin Mullaney

Cape May County Prosecutor Robert L. Taylor and Wildwood Police Chief Steve Long report that on January 30, 2014, at approximately 12:08 AM, the Wildwood Police Department responded to the report of shots fired outside of the Cattle N' Clover Pub, located at 3817 Pacific Avenue, Wildwood, NJ.

Police on Long Island are investigating a single-car crash in Medford that left one man dead.
The crash happened about 1 a.m. on Express Drive South.
Suffolk County police say that Kyle Mueller of Farmingville was driving a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee eastbound when he apparently lost control of the vehicle approximately 100 feet east of North Ocean Avenue.
The vehicle left the road, went through a guardrail and crashed into several trees.
Mueller, 21, of 26 Oakdale Ave., was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
The Jeep was impounded for a safety check and the investigation is continuing. Detectives are asking anyone with information to call 631-854-8652.

Richard Linklater is certainly no stranger to mainstream fare. "School Of Rock," "Bad News Bears" and "The Newton Boys" were journeys into major studio filmmaking (and let's not forget, "Dazed & Confused" was also a major studio project for Universal made at a time when the majors were toying with indie talent) but none of those are as big as what the helmer is circling right now.
24 Frames reports that Linklater has met with Warner Bros. to direct the long-gestating remake of the 1964 family comedy "The Incredible Mr. Limpet." Said to be a "top-candidate" for the job, Linklater is certainly a... different choice than the names that have circled before. "Enchanted" director Kevin Lima was attached way back in the summer of 2009, while more recently, Tom Shadyac was said to be shortlisted (though his tree-hugging take on the material, even he admitted, wasn't likely to get him the gig). Zach Galifianakis was attached at one point last year, but it remains to be seen if he's still involved.
The move may seem surprising for some, considering Linklater's roots in indie filmmaking, but it's not entirely surprising. As we mentioned above, he's dipped his toes in the studio system before and he is no stranger the struggle to find financing: "Liars (A-E)" and a "Dazed & Confused" sequel most notably have been sidelined/shelved due to a lack of funds. Hell, he might just be curious to see what directing an effects-driven movie with studio money feels like.
While we'd rather Linklater do better things with his time, we can't say we blame him either and maybe his move opens up more doors for him to get more challenging/interesting material off the ground. The new version of 'Limpet' will be a live-action/animated hybrid -- with which Linklater has more than ample experience -- and the story updated to a contemporary setting. Frankly, if Galifianakis is still involved, our interest in this will definitely go way up.

Playlist, do you know anything about Linklater's untitled 12 year project? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1065073/
I've had my eye on it for years but know relatively nothing about it, if you know or can find anything out, I'd be a very happy man
Don Knotts | March 15, 2011 12:51 PM
Hayden Maxwell | March 15, 2011 12:39 PM
And it's a remake of a movie that has plenty of room for improvement.

I would layout the site as it needs to look before I put in the Asp.Net server controls in there. Either way the div tag does not need a runat = "server" attribute, unless you need it in the code behind.
About your HTML, Is there a reason you are using absolute positioning?
Not sure why you have floated the div right or used display none on the outer div. Also there is no div2 control. You might want to have its id set as div2.
This is what I have. The experts here might have better code for you.

Bandit Lites is proud to be supplying lighting once again for Montgomery Gentry's current tour. Their latest album, Some People Change, released in October of this year features twelve new tracks.
Lighting designer Michael Shucher says the main objective for the Montgomery Gentry show was to portray a big look with a minimal amount of lights. The initial challenge was to find lights that could compete with the arched video wall. Shucher needed the lights to cut through the video wall while still being lightweight and not too bulky. He also wanted the lights to be hard edge and have rotating gobos. The Vari*Lite 2500 achieved all of these requirements.
Shucher also found the High End Systems Studio Beams to be very beneficial. He placed them on the side towers to act as fans. The HES Studio Beams were also used to wash various set pieces, which include anything from flying motorcycles to mudflap girls (mounted on either side of the arch upstage).
This was Shucher's first time using the Coemar LED Pars. "I primarily used them as truss toners and for the silhouette reveal at the start of the show," he explains. "After the reveal, the upstage floor LED Pars were refocused as floor fans." Shucher also used the LED Pars on the downstage floor to wash the beer kegs (another set element).
A unique feature to this particular show was achieving a variety of looks using similar colors. Montgomery Gentry is very patriotic and the theme of this tour is no exception (lots of red, white, and blue). Shucher said the challenge was to use lighting that consistently featured the same color scheme (red, white, and blue) while still providing a diversity of looks.
Other equipment staples included Martin MAC 2k Profiles, MAC 500s, and MAC 600s. Lighting was controlled by a GrandMA Lite.
Bandit vice president, Michael Golden, comments on Bandit's relationship with Montgomery Gentry and crew, "It has been our privilege to work with Montgomery Gentry for the last seven years and we are very proud to be associated with the entire production team."

Snow brings holiday ski boost for NortheastBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | February 17,2013MONTPELIER The record storm that dumped 2½ feet of snow on the streets and suburbs of southern New England and New York last week has primed the ski resorts of northern New England for the Presidents Day holiday that could help erase memories of last years dismal season.
In the ski industry, its a truism that the weather event that drives skiers to the mountain, isnt heavy snow on the slopes but snow on city streets and suburban backyards that gets potential customers thinking about heading north, where theyll buy lift tickets, stay in lodges and inns, rent skis and eat in restaurants.
When everything is bare down-country, its hard to persuade people that the skiing is good. Thatll always be the case. Its a psychological thing, said Don Fowler, an avid skier and lawyer in Kingfield, Maine, not far from the Sugarloaf resort.
Intellectually, people might know that theres snow in the mountains when their backyards are bare but theyre not thinking about skiing, he said.
At Vermonts Killington ski resort, lodges and inns near the resort were mostly full for the weekend before Presidents Day on Monday, but rooms were available for the week following, when winter vacation is under way for many school children in parts of southern New England, said Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson.
The week of Presidents Day is the single most important holiday time for the industry, providing about 20 percent of the revenue resorts expect to generate. Christmas week and the Martin Luther King holiday follow Presidents Day week as revenue generators. Combined, the three account for about half of the seasons revenue, said Sarah Neith, a spokeswoman for the Vermont Ski Areas Association.
Snows during Christmas week gave way to a January thaw before cold temperatures returned, which made it possible for resorts to make snow. So far the season is on par to match or exceed the record 2010-11 season, Neith said.
The Institute for New Hampshire Studies estimates that about 750,000 out-of-state visitors will spend about $115 million over the nine-day period beginning Saturday.
Tony Vazzano, a meteorologist at North Winds Weather who provides forecasts for 17 northern New England ski areas, said ski area operators are singing a much happier tune this year than last.
Im sure when the numbers come in this is going to be one good season compared even to average, let alone last year, he said. The timing of the weather has just been terrific for them.
Vazzano said the next couple of weeks look good, with some light accumulation and enough cold weather to hold the snow. Its a whole different feel this year, Vazzano said. Theres so much terrain open.
But the optimism isnt universally felt across the region.
Doug Holler, general manager of New Hampshires Dartmouth Skiway, north of Dartmouth College in Hanover, wasnt effusive about the season.
It hasnt been fantastic, but it hasnt been terrible either, Holler said. The snow the blizzard dumped on his area last week was blown away by high winds that shut down lifts last Saturday, he said.
But Ski New Hampshires Karl Stone said ski areas in the Granite State report increased guest visits of between 4 percent and 37 percent over last year.
Were coming into a crucial two-week period and were optimistic, given the winter storm we were just blessed with, Stone said. The forecast looks good.
Business on Hunter Mountain in New Yorks Catskills has rebounded to nearly normal from the relatively snow-free 2011-2012 season, said Trista Chiarulli, the resorts marketing and communications manager.
Its helped that snow has fallen during some of the big holidays, she said, something also possible this weekend as a storm moves up the East Coast.
Weve been doing very well. Its definitely better than last year, Chiarulli said. There was a lot of pent-up excitement.

(Toledo News Now) - Have you heard of the term "showrooming?" It is when shoppers use a local store as a showroom, then make their purchase off the Internet. It is hurting one big store, and could affect its future.
Remember when big box stores, like Best Buy, were putting local retailers out of business? Now Best Buy is in trouble, closing stores and losing its CEO in recent weeks.
Many shoppers are wondering if is it safe to shop there and if it still will be in business next year.
The storm clouds are gathering over Best Buy with the announcement that it is closing 50 of its big box stores.
Customer Jeff Bailey hopes the chain is able to survive.
"I like it a lot. It's one of the stores I prefer, as far as electronics go," said Bailey.
But sales are down and Christmas season crowds have been getting smaller and smaller.
How did such a retail giant end up this way?
Jim and Violet Fousz said Best Buy's high-definition television displays no longer excite shoppers now that everyone has an HDTV.
"A lot of people, I think, have as many televisions as they need, and there's so much competition everywhere," said Violet Fousz, a Best Buy shopper.
In the meantime, former Best Buy shopper Tina Lawrence echoes what Wall Street analysts have been saying: Many shoppers are using Best Buy as a showroom for Amazon.
"I think what a lot of people are doing is they are using stores like Best Buy to compare prices, see what they want, and then they go online to see what's cheaper," said Lawrence.
The Los Angeles Times said Best Buy can be saved by offering expertise and good service, which is why shoppers flock to the Apple store. But without anything unique or special, it could eventually go the way of Circuit City and other retailers that failed to adapt.
While some on Wall Street wonder if it will survive, many retail analysts believe Best Buy will still be around in 10 years, but with a reduced size and role.
Bottom line: For now, it is safe to shop there. Best Buy is not going anywhere in the near future.
As always, don't waste your money.

You may not see them or hear them. But they may be watching your every move.
They're called drones or unmanned aerial vehicles. Technology once used exclusively by the military is now being used by everyday citizens.
FOX 29's Chris O'Connell explains how what some are calling a hobby others call an invasion of your privacy.
A van pulls in before sunrise to the chilly banks of the Delaware River. But animal-rights activists aren't here for fun. They're here to spy. And this is their weapon: an unmanned, radio-controlled aircraft – a drone.
"We're out here and filming what's going to be a pigeon shoot. They use live animals for live targets, and we video-document it," said Mike Koblisk of the group SHARK.
Every other Saturday, the Chicago-based "Showing Animals Respect and Kindness" travels to Beverly, N.J., to document what they call illegal live pigeon shoots across the river at the Philadelphia Gun Club in Bensalem. That's the club behind the large privacy tarp.
"We capture a lot of things. We capture cruelty to animals, we capture them abandon animals, and just a lot of wontless slaughter," Koblisk said.
This group videotapes the shoots from above. They use a ground station to monitor and record video from up to a mile away, hovering so high you can barely know it's up there.
At one point, using an octocopter – octo because it has eight propellers – you can see O'Connell on the video from about 300 feet in the air.
It's one example of a drone technology that is taking off into the mainstream. The University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering even has a whole program devoted to development of drones.
From small hobby models that cost a couple hundred bucks to larger drones that can run up to $100,000, technology that was once saved for the military is now in the hands of private citizens.
"The uses are almost unlimited," said Steve Hindi, also of SHARK. "What do you use your car for? Where do you go with your car? Anyplace I want to go. That's almost the same thing here."
PennDOT just bought a $20,000 drone to inspect roads for sinkholes in remote areas.
Farmers use them to inspect crops from above.
A fire department in Colorado uses a drone for thermal-imaging during fires.
Even a Manayunk dry-cleaner figured out a way to have dry-cleaning delivered by way of a drone.
But what about your privacy?
"These drones can have incredibly powerful cameras. They can pick out somebody's license plate from thousands of feet in the air. They can recognize your face. They can keep track of your movements," said Mary Catherine Roper, and attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union.
Privacy advocates say there very few regulations about how drones are used. Can some drones, equipped with high-power lenses and infrared technology, see too much?
Right now many states, including Pennsylvania, are drafting legislation about how the drones can operate.
"All this hoopla, 'Oh, fear the drones' – when did Americans start to be fearful of anything and everything?" asked Hindi. "I mean, bring on the drones. I say bring 'em on."
But with more than a million of these hitting the air every year, and the sales of drones expected to reach $94 billion in the next decade, there may be no stopping the drones.
"We need to be paying attention to this technology. It's fantastic technology. It can do a whole lot for us. But it can also do a lot to us," the ACLU's Roper said.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.
