F. Other Significant World War II Sites on Guam
III. Father Duenas' Execution Site
On capturing Guam, the Japanese sent all American military, civilians, and Roman Catholic clergy (including the Spanish Bishop Olano) to Japan as prisoners of war. They allowed two Chamorro priests, Fathers Jesus Baza Duenas and Oscar Lujan Calvo, and a Baptist minister, Rev. Joaquin Flores Sablan, to remain on the island. The Catholic Church had been on Guam for nearly four centuries and the removal of the clergy was a serious burden far the people to bear. Father Duenas, opposed to the techniques of the Japanese authorities from the start of the occupation, lived in the southern village of Inarajan and attended as best he could to the religious needs of all southern Guam. Japan sent two Catholic priests, Monsignor Fukahori and Father Petro Komatsu, to Guam to assist in religious matters and, presumably, to act as a bridge between the people and Japanese authorities.
Suspicious of Father Duenas because of his independent frame of mind, the Japanese considered at one time of exiling him to Rota. Only the intervention of Father Komatsu put an end to this idea. The Japanese priests and Duenas were not on friendly terms, however. On at least one occasion, Father Duenas criticized the Japanese for using the altar to praise Japan. Monsignor Fukahori, in turn, advised Duenas to stick to religious affairs. Eventually, Duenas refused to submit his sermons to Japanese censorship and to make official announcements for the occupiers during his sermons.
By early July 1944, it was clear to the Japanese that an American invasion of Guam was but a matter of time. On July 8, Japanese officials arrested the 30-year-old Jesuit, Father Duenas, in Inarajan, as well as his attorney-nephew, Eduardo Duenas. The two of them were tied and paraded through the village streets in front of their countrymen, who were ordered to be silent. Torture began almost immediately; water was forced into Duenas' nose and mouth, and both men were beaten. They were accused of being spies or the Americans and for helping navy man, George Tweed, who, ironically, escaped from Guam on July 10. Franciso Naputi was a witness to the event in Inarajan, "That morning . . . there was Father Duenas laid on a bench, being scourged. He was made to open his mouth while half a gallon of water was being poured into his mouth until he finished it. So many people there were crying, and whoever cried was scolded by the Japanese." [17]
Torture and interrogations continued over the next three days by various Japanese authorities. On the morning of July 12, Father Duenas, Eduardo Duenas, retired navy man Juan N. Panglinan, and an unidentified Chamorro were led to four fresh graves in the village of Tai, southeast of Agana. With their hands tied behind their backs, they were forced to kneel at the graves. One by one, Japanese officers moved forward and beheaded the men. Years later, Vincente Salas San Nicolas recalled that day:
Following the liberation of Guam, in March 1945, Father Duenas' remains were exhumed and moved to Inarajan. In a simple but impressive ceremony they were reburied beneath the altar in St. Joseph's church where they remain.
The site of the Tai killings is near today's Father Duenas Memorial School on Highway 10, just outside the community of Mangilao. Adjacent to the highway a statue of Father Duenas has been erected on a large grassy lawn with the school buildings in the background. Local people say that the statue is not on the precise spot of the killings but that it is close. There is no interpretation at the site. It is identified in a folder, "Guide to Guam's World War II Sites," which is readily avaiabie to visitors to the island.

Sue Paterno, widow of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, and their son, Jay, were in Harrisburg to speak about child abuse prevention Wednesday morning.
The Paternos admitted they didn't know the signs of child abuse when a
sexual predator was right in front them, and said they never thought
former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky - a man known for helping
underprivileged children - was sexually abusing boys he met through his
"I worked with Jerry Sandusky for several years," said Jay
Paterno, a former Penn State assistant football coach. "My own children were around him. My own children were
around him at youth soccer games. I didn't see anything."
"We were among those who were ignorant of the magnitude of the problem," Sue Paterno said.
The Paterno family spoke at a child abuse prevention month breakfast
sponsored by the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance at the Hilton
"If there is one thing that I have learned in the last year and half,
it is this sad fact child abuse offenders don't need enablers, but the
people who protect them do need enables for good," Jay Paterno said.
Their appearance didn't come without controversy. Joe Paterno lost his job in the wake of child sex-abuse charges filed against his former assistant.
"There are people who say the Paternos are not the right people to
speak out about child abuse," said Angela Liddle, executive director of the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance. "My response to that is a very strong, 'who
are wrong people to speak out about child abuse?' "

Made famous in Sebastian Jungers best seller The Perfect Storm, swordboat captain Linda Greenlaw 83 has written her own account of a 30-day fishing voyage on the Grand Banks. The Hungry Ocean is an unsentimental description of the art and craft of swordfishing, rich with detail about life and work aboard ship.
Greenlaw, who gave up swordfishing in early 1996 and now is lobstering at home on Isle au Haut, Maine, was called by Junger one of the best sea captains, period, on the East Coast. The Hungry Ocean explains her success. Greenlaw describes the meticulous process of planning for a month at seaeverything, from the maintenance of critical equipment to the laying in of provisions.
The captains greatest challenge may be managing the crew. Greenlaw, one of few women in the Gloucester fishing fleet, says her primary strategy in gaining respect from male crewmembers is to outwork them. She is uncompromising when it comes to safetyshe once woke a man whod fallen asleep on watch with a hard backhand to the face. But shes known as Ma among the crew, and she is deft with the psychological tricks required to keep morale up among men living too close together and working too hard.
Greenlaws greatest asset as a fisherman may be her solid practicality, which shows when she writes about her $2,000 fish. She tried for 40 minutes to land the massive swordfish. This was the one that fishermen dream of, and now that I had seen it, I had to have it, Greenlaw writes. In the end, the fish escaped and took a victory lap around the boat. I am afraid that I have never possessed much of that Free Willy spirit and confess that I have only bitter feelings about the one that got away, she writes.

After looking forward for almost a year to being on the latest and greatest ship of the carnival 2.0 line, it was so sad to find that the Sunshine was not really ready to sail. There was continuing work being done that was not completed before the ship went into service. The decor and general look is outstanding but(yes there is a big but), the wait staff has not quite gotten it together, the room stewards are still trying to get up to snuff on their duties. Room service was adequate but just not very outgoing.I may have been spoiled by an excellent cruise experience on the Magic just a week before. The crew and the staff on Magic the week of Thanksgiving overcame some very bad weather and left us all feeling relaxed and comfortable although most excursions were canceled and water was pretty rough most of the time.
But back to Sunshine woes. The entertainment staff tried very hard to overcome many problems(hurt performers, sick audio operator, not being able to present program originally offered). Jaime,Stephnie, J.J. and the rest did great job of trying to keep us entertained, but they are handicapped with the 1/2 hour shows being offered 2 or 3 nites per Cruise. Maybe the bean counters who are strangling any effort to retain current clients. So sad as we remember when making the cruisers keep coming back was a priority with Carnival mngmnt! Special thanks for scheduling Chris Williams show as this the kind of show we had come to expect from the entertainment staff, not a few 30minute efforts per cruise!

Kylie Minogue surprises fans at the Beresford
Kylie Minogue loves surprising her fans and last night was no exception after she staged a last minute performance at Sydney's Beresford Hotel.
News of Minogue's performance spread like wildfire on Twitter soon after her announcement at 7pm where she tweeted "It sounds like the Beresford is the place to be. Who's going to join me?"
Queues then began to form outside the Beresford before punters were allowed in at 8:00pm.
With excitement building during DJ sets from the Presets and DJSveta the crowd slowly began chanting "Kylie, Kylie, Kylie," with the pop princess then appearing onstage after 10:00pm.
She performed her new single Into the Blue and offered this message for gay fans, ahead of Mardi Gras:
"You've always supported me and I want you to know I'm always here for you," she said.

WarrenLooks like everyone was watching Kylie through their iphones!!
GrahamTThe video on SMH is much better (no screaming twinky):
GrahamTWould love to have seen this.. the sound system Upstairs at the Beresford is brilliant. Take note other venues!
On another note I was discussing Mardi Gras performers with one of the DJs who is playing at the Party. I suggested Macklemore would be brilliant for this years Party (and he's in town). "No. he is just ripping off gays" was the reply.
And Kyle, Cher, Tina etc aren't!??

I think it is clear that the SEC has dominated college football recently. My questions is this, Does that make it the best conference all around?
Is the SEC the best all around conference? They seem to have a very weak bottom half of the conference, but the best schools in the SEC seems to be the best schools in college football. Is this a dominance because the SEC is better, or because the top is so much better than the bottom. If we look at the numbers SEC has won more games. In the last 10 years against the big 12 the SEC is 23-15. This is a large difference, but 6 of those loses are form the now SEC team and former big 12 team Texas A&M, so if we get rid of those games it is 17-15 which seems pretty even just a slight favor to the SEC.
Both of these conferences had the same number of teams go to bowls games this year 9. This makes up 90% of the Big 12 and 64% of the SEC. In the big 12 we have seen any team be able to beat any other.
Last year. Kansas St. was about to go to the National Championship, but they are blocked by a Baylor defeat and so late in the year it makes it nearly impossible for them to go.
the year before OK st. is heading to the Championship, but loses to Iowa St. Texas Tech beats OU in norman and doesn't even go to a bowl game.
Can the SEC make a claim that any team could win any given Saturday? sure Alabama can lose to LSU and A Manzeil led Texas A&M, but could they lose to Kentucky, Tennsee, Missouri, or Vanderbilt? I can't see this happening. The top 6 teams went for 30-0 against its bottom eight.Iin the conference Alabama has only lost to A&M, LSU, Auburn, South carolina, and Florida, 3 of those teams ended up going to the National Champion ship in the last 5 years. 3 also ended up having a Heisman winner on the team.
If I am giving my opinion I believe it is clear that the media favors the SEC. They do this for a few reasons. 1 it is the biggest market so if there is an article over the SEC or ACC the SEC article gets more clicks and more revenue. It is also clear that it is the most dominant. I also believe that the Big 12 is deeper than the SEC. facts are facts and the bottom tier of the SEC cannot beat the top, but the big 12 can. I also believe it is less about a conference being better than it is about Alabama being better than every other team unless there is a Heisman winner on it.
There has also been a lack of other conferences getting the chance to compete against the SEC. the last 2 years no other conference got a shot. This is mostly due to the broken BCS system that is now finally getting a playoff system.
Do you believe the SEC is the best conference?

Weed: Been there, done thatJanuary 04,2014For a little while in my teenage years, my friends and I smoked marijuana. It was fun. I have some fond memories of us all being silly together. I think those moments of uninhibited frolic deepened our friendships.
But then we all sort of moved away from it. I dont remember any big group decision that we should give up weed. It just sort of petered out, and, before long, we were scarcely using it.
We didnt give it up for the obvious health reasons: that it is addictive in about one in six teenagers; that smoking and driving is a good way to get yourself killed; that young people who smoke go on to suffer IQ loss and perform worse on other cognitive tests.
I think we gave it up, first, because we each had had a few embarrassing incidents. Stoned people do stupid things (thats basically the point). I smoked one day during lunch and then had to give a presentation in English class. I stumbled through it, incapable of putting together simple phrases, feeling like a total loser. It is still one of those embarrassing memories that pop up unbidden at 4 in the morning.
We gave it up, second, I think, because one member of our clique became a full-on stoner. He may have been the smartest of us, but something sad happened to him as he sank deeper into pothead life.
Third, most of us developed higher pleasures. Smoking was fun, for a bit, but it was kind of repetitive. Most of us figured out early on that smoking weed doesnt really make you funnier or more creative (academic studies more or less confirm this). We graduated to more satisfying pleasures. The deeper sources of happiness usually involve a state of going somewhere, becoming better at something, learning more about something, overcoming difficulty and experiencing a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
One close friend devoted himself to track. Others fell deeply in love and got thrills from the enlargements of the heart. A few developed passions for science or literature.
Finally, I think we had a vague sense that smoking weed was not exactly something you were proud of yourself for. Its not something people admire. We were in the stage, which I guess all of us are still in, of trying to become more integrated, coherent and responsible people. This process usually involves using the powers of reason, temperance and self-control not qualities one associates with being high.
I think we had a sense, which all people have, or should have, that the actions you take change you inside, making you a little more or a little less coherent. Not smoking, or only smoking sporadically, gave you a better shot at becoming a little more integrated and interesting. Smoking all the time seemed likely to cumulatively fragment a persons deep center, or at least not do much to enhance it.
So, like the vast majority of people who try drugs, we aged out. We left marijuana behind. I dont have any problem with somebody who gets high from time to time, but I guess, on the whole, I think being stoned is not a particularly uplifting form of pleasure and should be discouraged more than encouraged.
We now have a couple of states Colorado and Washington that have gone into the business of effectively encouraging drug use. By making weed legal, they are creating a situation in which the price will drop substantially. One RAND study suggests that prices could plummet up to 90 percent, before taxes and such. As prices drop and legal fears go away, usage is bound to increase. This is simple economics, and it is confirmed by much research. Colorado and Washington, in other words, are producing more users.
The people who debate these policy changes usually cite the health risks users would face or the tax revenue the state might realize. Many people these days shy away from talk about the moral status of drug use because that would imply that one sort of life you might choose is better than another sort of life.
But, of course, these are the core questions: Laws profoundly mold culture, so what sort of community do we want our laws to nurture? What sort of individuals and behaviors do our governments want to encourage? Id say that in healthy societies government wants to subtly tip the scale to favor temperate, prudent, self-governing citizenship. In those societies, government subtly encourages the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature, and discourages lesser pleasures, like being stoned.
In legalizing weed, citizens of Colorado are, indeed, enhancing individual freedom. But they are also nurturing a moral ecology in which it is a bit harder to be the sort of person most of us want to be.

Dozier Named To ABCA All-Region First Team
June 11, 2012
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Stephen F. Austin sophomore shortstop Hunter Dozier was named to the all-South Central Region first team on Monday as selected by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
Dozier, a sophomore from Denton, Texas, became the first Lumberjack to earn first team all-Southland Conference honors at shortstop at the conclusion of the regular season after leading the `Jacks in nearly every offensive category. It is the third consecutive season SFA has had a player named to the ABCA all-region team, and third time since 2007 it has had someone named to the first team.
Dozier started all 59 games for the `Jacks this season, leading SFA with a .357 batting average while slugging 10 home runs and picking up 37 RBI. He set a new single-season school record with 22 doubles and slugged .595 with a team-best 43 runs scored.
He ranked in the top 10 in the Southland Conference in each of those categories, while his 22 doubles made him the first Lumberjack to lead the league in doubles since 1991, and just the second ever. Dozier was also named to the all-SLC Tournament team after hitting .444 in five games, smacking two doubles and two homers with five RBI in nearly leading the `Jacks to the tournament title game for the second straight season.
With his selection to the first team, Dozier stays alive for a chance at all-America honors which will be voted for in Omaha at the College World Series.

Carl Lamont Brandon, 39, of Augusta, Georgia, was convicted Tuesday by a federal jury after a 1-day trial before U.S. District Court Judge J. Randal Hall for possessing a firearm as a felon on October 8, 2012.
United States Attorney Edward Tarver said, "Through Project CeaseFire, the United States Attorney's Office will continue to vigorously enforce federal firearms laws to rid the streets of violent felons who carry guns. Felons who possess firearms can expect to be returned to prison, and serve federal time without the possibility of parole."
Evidence presented during the trial revealed that Brandon led police on a high speed chase down Bobby Jones Expressway and through parking lots after Columbia County deputies were dispatched to respond to a possible shoplifting offense committed by Brandon at a nearby Wal-Mart. Upon being cornered by the deputies, Brandon surrendered to authorities and officers found a loaded firearm concealed in a CD case in Brandon's car. Brandon was on parole at the time of the incident.
Brandon's prior felonies include an Aggravated Battery and a Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime, which resulted after Brandon shot a Richmond County deputy in 1990. His other violent felony convictions include Criminal Attempt to Commit Armed Robbery, Armed Robbery, and Aggravated Assault.
If deemed to be an Armed Career Criminal, Brandon faces a mandatory minimum sentenced of 15 years to Life, a fine of up to $250,000, and 5 years of supervised release. Brandon remains in custody pending his sentence. A sentencing date will be scheduled following completion of a presentence investigation and report.
The case was investigated by Columbia County Sheriff's Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The case was prosecuted under Project Ceasefire, a joint federal, state and local firearms initiative involving the U.S. Attorney's Office, ATF and various local police departments.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy C. Greenwood prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

Overall crime in Albany is actually down so far this year, but property crimes are still high.
Police say too often teenagers are committing those crimes.
Right now, the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office is conducting a 6-week camp giving teens something positive to do this summer.
While Albany Police have increased patrols to cut down on crime, the Sheriff's Office is targeting 166 kids in their CHAMPS Camp. CHAMPS stands for Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods for Promoting Safety.
It's an innocent game of dogdeball for more than a hundred kids, but it's got a lesson in it too.
"In dodge ball you have to, I always tell kids you have to be alert, be aware, and pay attention and if you're not alert, and aware, and paying attention in dodge ball you could get hurt," said Lt. Terron Hayes, CHAMPS Program Coordinator.
It's the same thing on the streets, which is why for a twelfth year the Sheriff's Office and partners are hosting CHAMPS Camp.
"They'd be bored, looking for something to do, you know the old saying an idle mind is the devil's workshop and they'd sure be looking for things to get into," said Dougherty County Sheriff Kevin Sproul,
They talk to these nine to 15 year olds about drugs, gangs, and bullying to know their choices have consequences.
"They get up and hang out with the wrong kids, get on the wrong street corners, do the wrong activities guess where they're going to end up one of two places, the jail or a funeral home," said Sproul.
Digging Deeper we learned students as early as third, fourth, an fifth grades are being exposed to drugs, alcohol, and gangs.
"It's important that we keep our hand on these kids and try to guide them through life in a right way," said Lt. Hayes.
Just take some of the counselors for example, Jaleesa Coe's been coming to CHAMPS Camp since 2000, she's now a student at Albany Tech and sharing her stories with other kids.
"To tell them that there are a lot of programs out there to keep them off the streets and to show them a good way of life and show them all the gang banging, drugs is not a good way to go," said Jaleesa Coe, CHAMPS Counselor.
Older students are encouraged to mentor younger participants in hopes both will continue to make good choices and not get involved in crime.>
The camp is just in the second of the six week camp. I can attest these kids are having a lot of fun and they're learning important life lessons along the way.
The CHAMPS camp runs Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM until 5:30 PM.
The Sheriff's office partnered with Dougherty County School Police, Phoebe's Network of Trust Nurses, Albany Police Americorps Cadets, and numerous businesses and organizations to make it happen.

'Why I Hate San Francisco' was interesting. I vacationed there for a week a couple of years ago, and was ready to get back home within days.
I was disappointed in all the touristy spots, and while there were other things (like great record stores and restaurants) that made up for some of it, I felt like the place had a cloying atmosphere of self-consciousness that made me want to get back to the South ASAP.
I liked how the author captured the dull commonness of these elements that would be considered inflammatory in some parts of the country. I never thought I'd see so many people who were so free to do and be whatever they want, yet having so little fun.
Maybe it's because living there is almost cost prohibitive. I know I'd be teed off all the time if I had to pay as much as people there do for a lousy apartment.

When FinalGear.com first started, the Scene wasn't ripping episodes of Top Gear or any of the other shows. So we came up with our own (dumb) format of "Top Gear - 2003.11.23.avi". We later moved to including the season/episode once I figured that out (those were dark days) as well as giving credit to the ripper.
That left us with today's filename format:
Top Gear - [20x06] - 2013.08.04 [FoV].mp4
Top Gear - [20x06] - 2013.08.04 [720p x264 by FoV].mkv
Top Gear - [20x06] - 2013.08.04 [1080i by CtrlHD].ts
I'd like to suggest that we move to the standardized Scene naming scheme for any future releases, which would look like this:
Top.Gear.S20E06.1080i.HDTV.H264-CtrlHD.ts (or something similar)
The advantage of this is that programs like Plex, Sick Beard, and so forth can correctly pull from sites like The TVDB and others. Right now due to our custom labeling of "Top Gear (US)" as "Top Gear America", this doesn't happen. This means in your media libraries, you would automatically get episode descriptions, thumbnails, TV show posters, etc. Some programs can correctly parse our Top Gear and Fifth Gear filenames right now but they don't correctly match against Top Gear America.
Plus just following common standards makes things easier across the board.
What are your thoughts?
EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not talking about file types or file extensions. Those won't change. I'm only talking about the name of the file.
FINAL UPDATE: We've decided to make this change and will be using the Scene's naming scheme going forward.

Went to "Andiamo Pizzeria" by recommendation of a friend of mine. We waited ONE HOUR for a large prossciuto pizza, but what is even worse is after complaining to our server and requesting the manager's attention, the manager took another 20 mins. to come to the table without an apology and an improper response to the delay os service instead. If you want to dine out and have a good time avoid Andiamo Pizzeria.

The panini's are very good but the pizzas are raw. They are like english muffin pizzas,certainly not anywhere near a New York pie. Ingredients are excellent and fresh.
Posted by Kent Bonde on 05/25/2012
Literally speaking, we have eaten pizza all over the world and I have to say that Andiamo's Pizza in Miami is hands down probably the best in terms of variety, taste and service. They also have a minimal corkage fee, so great place to enjoy a casual dinner with a bottle or two of your favorite wine.

I've lived all over the world, including some of the "pizza capitals," but this is the best pizza I've ever eaten. It's that simple. Eat here!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/06/2011
The best sauce in the world... Hands down.. Friendly staff and the atmosphere is great. Try the New Yorker with Caramelized onions... Bon Apetit
Posted by Gabe on 08/12/2010
the pizza is amazing; eat here!
Posted by Marta on 07/06/2010
The pizza was disappointing. I order something and they bring me another thing! You cannot complain because they just do not pay attention to you! Poor quality on how they treat the costumer, and on top of everything, I'm paying for cold pizza. Forget about it!

Child of Child Theme
I've created a child theme based on 'bp-default' for my main site/blog. I have another blog that needs to be a child of my child theme – the layout being slightly different, and most importantly 'set_post_thumbnail_size( 170, 235, true ); ' in the functions.php – along with any other differences I might think up in the future.
Is this possible? Currently if I set the template as 'bp-default' on this child-of-child I lose all the changes I've defined in the first child, and if I set it to be a child of my child theme it fails on 'Call to undefined function bp_dtheme_page_on_front()'.
Any clues as to how I might tackle this?

GMC Canyon Is the Yin to Chevy Colorado's Yang
General Motors (NYSE:GM) is responding to the segment-leading Toyota (NYSE:TM) Tacoma with not a single stab but rather a two-pronged attack to try and shake up Toyota's domination of the smaller pickup truck market. The first prong of GM's strategy came in the form of a new Chevrolet Colorado, which is already seeing action globally but is not on sale in the United States. The second prong is the Colorado's corporate sibling, the GMC Canyon, which was just introduced on Sunday evening, ahead of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Both Ford (NYSE:F) and Chrysler Group (FIATY.PK) each had players in the segment — the Ranger and Dakota, respectively — though the two models were yanked about two years ago. General Motors stopped producing the U.S.-spec Colorado and Canyon trucks around the same time, essentially leaving the market wide open for Toyota and, to a lesser extent, Nissan's (NSANY.PK) Frontier.
However, as fuel economy concerns grow — both for consumers who have to deal with the pump prices and manufacturers that are under pressure to adhere to more stringent fleet fuel consumption regulations — companies are finding that the breed of smaller, more efficient pickup trucks is an irresistibly appetizing market opportunity.

Hollywood Golden Age star Joan Fontaine has died of natural causes at her home in Carmel, California at age 96.
My favorite Fontaine role is the one she won an Oscar for, in Alfred Hitchcock's "Suspicion," opposite Cary Grant, along with her nominated breakthrough performance in Hitchcock's 1940 Daphne Du Maurier classic "Rebecca," opposite Laurence Olivier. In both parts this gorgeous Hollywood actress was able to persuade audiences that she was a real woman like the rest of us, not nearly as beautiful and confident as she should be.
Fontaine's older sister was also her greatest rival, Hollywood star Olivia de Havilland, who lost the Oscar for "Hold Back the Dawn" to Fontaine in 1942. Fontaine was also nominated as Best Actress in 1943 for Edmund Goulding's "The Constant Nymph."
Check out this charming clip from Max Ophuls' classic "Letter from an Unknown Woman," featuring the courtship between Fontaine's Lisa Berndle and Louis Jourdan's Stefan Brand:

Brian | December 16, 2013 12:25 PM
The "TCM Remembers" montage should get reedited. Eleanor Parker made it in, but Paul Walker, Tony Musante, Audrey Totter, Fontaine, Peter O' Toole and Tom Laughlin didn't. Next time they should wait till the end of the year.
I enjoyed many Fontaine films, esp. those made in the 1940s: REBECCA, SUSPICION, JANE EYRE, FRENCHMAN'S CREEK, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS and LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, to name a few favorites off the top of my head. In the '50s: SEPTEMBER AFFAIR, THE BIGAMIST, SERENADE and, a rare comedy, CASANOVA'S BIG NIGHT, where she holds her own alongside Bob Hope.
m | December 16, 2013 12:06 AM
First Peter O'Toole, now Joan Fontaine... !? Christ, they're droppin' like flies. If Olivia de Havilland and Lauren Bacall are next in line I think I might just have a heart attack and join 'em. :(

'Bomb' was handed in to Risca police officers (From Campaign Series)

'Bomb' was handed in to Risca police officers
Updated 5:46pm Tuesday 4th March 2014 in News
Enable automatic updates every 30 seconds? YES NO
- Member of public handed device in to Risca police officers 'yesterday' say police
- Cordon lifted from centre of Risca
- Controlled explosion carried out in Risca
- Robot used by bomb squad to destroy device
- Large area was cordoned off
A spokesman for Gwent Police confirmed that the incident yesterday afternoon was related to today's bomb alert.
He said: "The EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) attended yesterday afternoon to assess the situation. Following a thorough investigation of the device the EOD decided to conduct a small controlled explosion.
"Where possible this kind of procedure is always undertaken in daylight hours hence delay in action being taken."
The spokesman said that by the time the investigation was completed yesterday, darkness had fallen.
Picture from reader Harry Leigh of the bomb disposal operation today:
Picture from reader Callum Evans of the bomb disposal operation today:
Chris Powell, 42, of Howard's Butchers in Risca, said: "It was bedlam for us – absolute chaos. My father had to go onto the road to direct the traffic. At one point, there were five or six cars doing three-point turns at the same time, beeping and all.
"It wasn't panic at all, it was quite the opposite actually. Some people were annoyed that they couldn't get through but at the end of the day safety comes first."
His father, Howard Powell, was stood on the zebra crossing on Commercial Street for about an hour and a half, with the help of resident Sally Davies, before traffic eventually cleared.
Howard Powell said: "It felt like I was there for a while, it was a bit manic. I turned a lot of buses around."

Gwyn Lloyd, 38, from Bassaleg said he was driving up to Risca Rugby Club at about 9.15am and he noticed a heavy police presence which he said was "unusual".
He added the police were "all along the high street in groups of two and three".
He said as he turned into Risca Rugby Club there were three ambulances in the car park "just on standby by the look of things".
"As I was driving home I saw a bomb disposal van driving round the back of Risca Park and there were loads of people gathered round watching. It's not something you see every day in Risca."
Gwent Police said the alert was raised this morning after a "suspicious item" was handed in by a member of the public to officers based at Risca Police Station.
A spokeswoman said bomb disposal officers were then called to make an assessment.
The cordon has now been lifted through the centre of Risca.
Eyewitness said this was known about yesterday afternoon and wanted to know why they weren't notified until this morning.

Officer on scene says all houses within 100m cordon have been evacuated - cordon will be in place for at least another 20 minutes— Laura Lea (@ArgusLLea) March 4, 2014
Eyewitness Bob Collins, from Risca "said the Police had blocked the road off from the Commercial Pub in Pontymister to the top of Risca Road. He added: "There's at least two bomb disposal vans in Park Place and there are several Policemen around blocking the road.
"Everyone is out of their houses and out of the shops watching what's going on but we can't see much. It's a bit of drama that you don't normally get round here."
In Risca one resident said bomb disposal went in 20mins ago- saw small robot and heard thud of controlled explosion nr Police station— Laura Lea (@ArgusLLea) March 4, 2014
Roadblock near Lidl, large traffic queues in area
An eyewitness said a controlled explosion was carried out 20 minutes ago and a bomb disposal team is on site with a robot.
An eyewtiness said police started house-to-house at 9.30 this morning. He said shops and the library in Risca have all been cordoned off and it was "like a ghost town this morning".
Fleet of ambulances parked in Lidl car park. The cordon is between the corner of Brooklands Road and Commercial Street and Dan-y-Graig Road and Tredegar Street in Risca.
Location of bomb alert in Risca:
A bomb disposal team and fleet of ambulances is reported to have arrived on the corner of Station Road and Tredegar Street in Risca.
Reports are coming in of a bomb scare in Risca with premises being evacuated.

If the police knew that the bomb squad was going to detonate the the device today, why didn't they inform the bus companies and the public earlier, so other travel routes could be used, instead of utter confusion.

Owen Thomas, Business Insider
At such a competitive price, you'd think it would sell pretty well at first.
It is.
We cornered Hugo Barra, the director of product management for Android, at a press meet and greet last night to get some insight.
Barra wouldn't give us a specific number of course, but he said the first-day pre-orders were really, really good. When we pressed for a ballpark figure, he gave us a knowing smirk and said "it's big."
Naturally, it's Barra's job to make the Nexus 7 sound like a success. But in this case, we believe him.

Obama's VP
by Jerome Armstrong, Tue Jun 03, 2008 at 11:42:27 AM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- "Clinton tells New York lawmakers she's open to being Obama's vice presidential candidate."
What's this? I don't really have an opinion on it either way.
Anyway, congrats to Obama, for it looks like this is the day he pulls over the magic number for becoming the Democratic nominee. We should all hope he wins while running against McCain.
I've got a trip coming up on Wed., going over to Malaysia for about a week. I'll likely blog while there on the trip, as I'm attending a political conference while there.

CHESTERFIELD, VA—Chesterfield County Police have arrested a man they say impersonated an officer and pulled over a young driver Tuesday night.
Nicholas R. Solferino, 19, of the 16000 block of Hidden Sedge Court, was arrested and charged with impersonating a police officer.
Police say Solferino followed a teenage driver and then got the young boy to pull over his vehicle Tuesday night. It happened in the Woodlake subdivision off Woolridge Road on Tuesday night.
When the vehicle pulled over, police say Solferino approached the victim and stated he was an undercover Chesterfield Police Officer and said he would have the boy monitored by radar.
It's an incident that had neighbors worried.
"You never know who you will find next to you on the road," Sophie Lanniel said.
If you ever feel uncomfortable, officers say call Police and drive to a well-lit area.
"Now when my kids are outside playing I want to come watch them a little bit closer," said neighbor Beth Coleson.

Tryouts for fall soccer season for Collins Middle School will be on Monday, Aug. 12, from 5-7 p.m. at the field behind Collins.
Anyone interested in trying out is asked to bring cleats, a size 5 ball, shin guards, water and a completed sports physical form dates June 1 or after. No one will be able to try out without a current physical form in hand.
Sam O'Dell now has a special place in West Virginia golf's history books, as he won the 94th West Virginia Amateur Championship Thursday. The Hurricane native went 68-66-69-76 to win the championship at 5-under-par.
After the first round concluded, it was evident O'Dell was out to claim the victory, shooting a 68 on the Old White TPC's par-70 course. He was the only player to post an under-par score that day. As the field moved to The Greenbrier's Greenbrier course for the second round, he scored two strokes better than the day before. Staying on the Greenbrier course the third day, he shot 3-under 69. For his final round, he slacked off a bit, posting a 4-over-par score, but was still able to seal the championship by six strokes. O'Dell defeated Fairmont's Woody Woodward and Hurricane's Brian Anania, who tied for second at 1-over-par 285.
Earlier in the week, three-time champion, Tim Fisher was disqualified from the championship under rule 15-3, playing a wrong ball. This was the first event Fisher had played in since his three-year suspension in 2010.
Five-time champion, Harold Payne, picked up the low senior award, nabbing two-time champion, Steve Fox, by one stroke. Wheeling's Thadd Obecny won the low junior award.
The 2014 West Virginia Amateur will move up a couple months to June 2-5.
The Mountain of Hope Organization (a non-profit corporation) will sponsor the second annual Tom Stafford Memorial Golf Tournament to raise funds for college scholarships for the youth of southern West Virginia.

DALLAS - The NorthPark Center shopping mall was evacuated for over an hour after a fire broke out at about 10:30 a.m. Monday at the Panda Express.
While firefighters were quickly able to extinguish the two-alarm blaze, it took them a bit longer to clear the area of lingering smoke.
Firefighters were able to determine it was a grease fire that moved into the ventilation system.
People were able to go back inside the mall shortly before 11:45 a.m.
There were no injuries reported and the extent of the damage is not yet known.
The Panda Express is located on the second floor of the mall in the food court.

Cheers to Sizzla
SIZZLA Kalonji delivered a fiery set at the Arthur Guinness Day event Thursday at the National Indoors Sports Centre.
The annual concert — first staged in 2009 — celebrates the legacy of the Guinness drink, founded 253 years ago in Ireland by Arthur Guinness.
Thursday's show was broadcast to 55 countries. The jam-packed centre erupted into screams and whistles when Sizzla's voice reverberated throughout the venue, and would continue throughout his 25-minute set.
Dressed in white and backed by the Ruff Kutt Band, Sizzla belted out Holding Firm, Simplicity, Solid as a Rock, Praise Ye Jah, and Good Ways.
He later changed the pace and dedicated the rest of his performance to the females.
"Big up to my mother and all the mother of the world," he said before singing Thank You Mama, and Black Woman and Child.
Female fans to the front of the stage screamed uncontrollably, some with outstretched arms, hoping to touch the Rastafarian artiste.
Others songs performed by Sizzla included Woman I Need You, Give Me a Try, and Just One of Those Days.
He made way for Mavado who was also well received. Like all artistes on the show, Mavado made several toasts to the founder, then performed a string of favourites including Touch Di Road, Come Round, Box of Money, and All Dem a Talk.
The crowd roared with excitement when the deejay spoke words of encouragement for his jailed musical rival, deejay Vybz Kartel.
"Addi, no worry you soon dey road," he said, before performing Chat Dem a Chat.
Earlier, Pop Caan also delivered a great set while Trinidad and Tobago's soca singers Kerwin Du Bois and Destra Garcia had the patrons dancing throughout their performances.
Arthur Guinness celebrations also saw Third World performing in St Maarten last night and conclude with I-Octane in Guyana today.

Shaun Gladwell: Stereo Sequences
In 2000 a video of Shaun Gladwell skating against a Bondi Beach storm received massive recognition in both the Australian and international art worlds. The artwork's slow mo, fluid composition was vastly different to the choppy, fast paced direction generally associated with skate videos and it subsequently made Gladwell into a bit of an art star. His latest show, Shaun Gladwell: Stereo Sequences, which was commissioned directly by the Australia Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), includes a range of 'open experiments' from recurring themes in Gladwell's work, including breakdancing, skating and painting. - Nadia

Two Old Dominion University faculty members, geochemist Patrick Hatcher and oceanographer Margaret Mulholland, have been awarded a collaborative research grant of $276,000 from the National Science Foundation to explore the role that decay-resistant proteinaceous material plays in the sequestration of carbon and nitrogen in seawater.
Their project, which began in September and will continue through August 2009, is titled "Resistance of Peptide Degradation Products in Seawater." The researchers will investigate reaction mechanisms affecting fractional pieces of proteins called peptides, evaluating the capability of these bits of organic matter to remove carbon and nitrogen from marine cycles.
Photosynthetic microorganisms take in carbon and nitrogen as they grow, and their remains make up most of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the oceans. Most of the carbon and nitrogen is recycled as the organic matter degrades, becoming available to help to grow another generation of microorganisms. But some organic matter resists decay and becomes stable-also called "refractory"-DOM that binds up carbon and nitrogen to make them biologically unavailable.
"Little is known about the chemical composition of refractory DOM, or about mechanisms contributing to its resistance" to degradation, Hatcher and Mulholland wrote in a project summary. Research in this area is needed, they contend, because the recycling of essential chemicals is so important to the growth of microorganisms and to the overall food chain and biological productivity of the oceans.
Hatcher, who is Batten Endowed Chair in Physical Sciences, is the director of ODU's College of Sciences Major Instrumentation Cluster (COSMIC). He will use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in the COSMIC facility to track biological and abiological processes for carbon and nitrogen sequestration into DOM.
"Last year I published a paper suggesting that biologically produced molecules can become associated with dissolved organic matter via an abiotic process and we are testing the hypothesis that this might be important to nitrogen sequestration," he said.
Mulholland, an associate professor of oceanography, is an expert in carbon and nitrogen cycling in aquatic systems and a member of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee of the Chesapeake Bay Program. Her interests include the aquatic availability of nitrogen, such as that coming from wastewater discharges and runoff that can fuel dangerous algal blooms.

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Two people are behind bars accused of having meth and running from police.
West Monroe police said 38-year-old John Robertson and 25-year-old Stephanie Boyd are being held on a multiple charges.
Officers said Robertson, the driver, failed to use his signal light when making a turn. According to the police report, an officer then noticed the lights near the license plate were not working. That's when a police cruiser tried to pull over the vehicle, but the driver failed to stop, police said.
The chase ended in Monroe at Forsythe Park after the driver crashed the vehicle, police said. Robertson and Boyd then jumped out of the vehicle and started running from officers, according to the police report. Both suspects were captured. Police said they were forced to taze Robertson twice.
Officers said they found two plastic bags each containing two grams of meth, four other plastic bags with a smaller amount of meth, one bag containing cotton balls, one bag of marijuana, one syringe, one digital scale, one credit card, and more than 70 empty plastic bags.
Boyd has a $33,000 bond. Robertson has a bond set at a little under $38,000.

I love riding 100 mph on twisty, turning race tracks -- my favorite is Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. In racing, as in business, keeping the finish line in mind is important, but if you can't negotiate the curves and respond quickly to changing conditions along the way -- you won't win.
In this uber-competitive technology marketplace, the pace of change is only increasing. Disruptive new technologies are changing the game. Savvy business leaders are applying key agile concepts of continuous innovation, shorter iterations, and fail early/fail fast/fail often experiments not only to the development team - but to the entire portfolio management process.
Agile is not just for developers anymore. Once considered an esoteric "thing" that software developers "did," Agile practices have moved mainstream and are spreading across the the enterprise. Business leaders are working to engage more people throughout the entire company to make more informed decisions at a faster pace. The demand for better business agility is especially evident for portfolio management and strategic planning that has traditionally been tied to annual planning cycles.
An Agile business will establish a much faster cadence than the traditional...read more

The Renegade Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The Renegade Diet is a revolutionary eating plan incorporating fasting with strength training. The results are increased muscle growth, fat loss and overall improved health and wellbeing. The creator of The Renegade Diet is Jason Ferruggia. He is not an industry expert, but rather a student of training and fitness. Jason Ferruggia created The Renegade Diet after years of collegiate study and years of failing at diet and exercise plans. He even decided to branch out and train individuals according to his diet plan.
List of Ingredients
- The Renegade Diet is diet plan focusing on fasting as a way to increase weight loss and build muscle.
Product Features
The Renegade Diet is an extreme diet plan from fitness enthusiast Jason Ferruggia. The diet plan focuses on fasting in order to build muscle and improve overall health and wellbeing. The Renegade Diet is available on the official website as well as third-party ecommerce sites such as Amazon.com for $40. This is rather expensive, compared to similar diet plans.
The main principles of The Renegade Diet include fasting. The first phase is the fasting phase. Dieters will fast for a minimum of 12 hours and a maximum of 16 hours. Ferruggia explains the majority of fast is burned during the initial fasting phase. The second phase involves under eating. Dieters eat 1 to 3 times within moderation. The Renegade Diet limits the types of foods consumed. The final stage involves overeating. Dieters just do not eat; they eat for approximately 4 hours. This phase happens during traditional dinnertime.
The results of the fasting, according to Ferruggia is increased muscle and weight loss. Several testimonials we encountered on the website say dieters gained 20+ pounds of muscle. This amount is great, but virtually impossible, unless the correct diet plan is followed, as well as exercise and supplementation. We feel the lack of scientific evidence causes The Renegade Diet to have flaws.
- The Renegade Diet offers a money-back guarantee.
- There are testimonials on the website.
- You can purchase The Renegade Diet on the official website.
- The Renegade Diet discusses debunked diet myths.
- The program is expensive.
- There is no information relating to scientific research.
- The diet plan relies on fasting as the source of muscle building.
- The claims of muscle building are extreme.
- The diet does not discuss specifics relating to the type of food consumed.
- The Renegade Diet does not discuss exercise.
The Renegade Diet adds nothing new to the market. In essence, the plan is another fad diet making extreme claims not backed by scientific research. There are several claims that are virtually impossible to achieve by using The Renegade Diet. If the dieter wants to improve health and wellbeing, the right choice is to eat a healthy, balanced diet, exercise and consume the correct types/amounts of supplementation.

Totally lovable!Keep it up!The characters and dialog are amazingly well put together. The animation is clean and the story flows quickly but at the same time it keeps hooked. This is a must see! The artwork is pleasing and there is so much I want to see more of. Definitely something I would buy to own!
One of my favorites and you won't regret watching itThis mini anime ova is so cute and reminds me a lot of HP. If you finished everything HP and need a fix, watch this.
