5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing, Important Film

2.0 out of 5 stars LONELY PLACE FOR CLASSICS AT COLUMBIA-TRISTAR
Nicholas Ray's "In A Lonely Place" is one of those eternally compelling film noirs that haunts you once you've seen it. Bogart is screenwriter, Dixon Steele. He's got a terrible temper that doesn't make him popular either amongst the studio big shots or his nightclubbing buddies. But has that uncontrollable rage led him to kill? Det. Sgt. Brub Nicholai (Frank Lovejoy) and...

5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing, Important Film,
For all the praise film-noir is lavished with (quite a lot of it valid), the majority of it relies on convention as much as the standard white-picket-fence, happy-ending 'family' film does: just invert the cliches and bathe them in deep-focus shadows. While this movie, on its surface, resembles the classic-style film noir of DOUBLE INDEMNITY, beneath the surface it's a whole different animal. No calculating evil females or tough guys masking hearts of gold populate IN A LONELY PLACE. It's a much more wrenching and powerfully disturbing film because the murder that draws the protagonists together turns out to be of peripheral importance, while the love story between Humphrey Bogart's troubled screenwriter and Gloria Grahame's B-actress spins inexorably towards damnation completely on its own power. The basic story has him a suspect in a killing, and her in love with him yet unsure of his innocence, but director Nicholas Ray stages the proceedings so that WE see it's not the murder that disturbs her but her own conviction that his self-destructive and volatile nature will destroy them both. To his credit, Ray never takes the easy way out of having Bogart turn monster on her. You care inordinately about the characters, hoping hard (as Bogart's agent does in the film) that some transforming moment will come that will spare these people and allow their deeply felt love to flourish and heal them both - even as the evidence before your own eyes tells you there ain't no way. For 1950 -hell, for any year- such an unsentimental and uncompromising treatment of a tragic adult relationship is a rarity. The shadows suffusing this excellent film come not from UFA-influenced lighting but from the Black Dahlia murder, the HUAC hearings, the death throes of old Hollywood & the moral and spiritual detachment of postwar American life. But most of all, they're projected from within the characters themselves. Grahame and Ray's own real-life deteriorating relationship formed the template for the doomed lovers, and for them, this film is an act of great courage. For his part, Bogart (the star and executive producer) takes elements of all his previous romantic loners and blends them with the harsh, sour pigments of Fred C Dobbs, running the risk of audience rejection. His performance is unflinchingly honest, among his best work ever. See this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A DEEPLY MOVING FILM!,
Elaine Campbell "Desert Dweller" (Rancho Mirage, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Filmed in 1950, this film is brilliantly directed by Nicholas Ray. Its production company, Santana Productions, was Bogart's own (Santana was the name of his yawl), which he started in 1948 and sold to Columbia Pictures in 1954, the problem being that his company simply couldn't outbid the large studios for properties he wanted, i.e., Dead End and The Detective Story (some of Santana's films included Knock on Any Door, Tokyo Joe and Sirocco, which Bogart himself called "a stinker").
Eric Lax, the definitive biographer of Humphrey Bogart, believes that he was drawn to this role because he could so closely identify with the character's inner turmoil, problems with women, and a rocky relationship with the ups and downs of the film industry itself. The character he plays is also a heavy drinker. Perhaps because of the similarities, and because Bogart was so greatly talented, his performance in this film leaves one in awe. It is wide and deep, cruel and unbelievably tender, and very, very moving. Gloria Grahame gives unquestionably the best performance of her career. The role was to go to Lauren Bacall, but Warner Brothers refused to lend her to Santana Productions for the film. Though I admire Bacall's early work, I am glad we got Grahame with her flower-like fragility.
It is a murder mystery, but more it is an in-depth character study and even a life study. Dix (Bogart's character) is full of rage which he has for years refused to confront. Laurel (Grahame's character) is lost. Both her film career and her search for a meaningful love are illusive at best. They genuinely fall deeply in love. Was she not strong enough? Was he not brave enough? We see what could have been, and are left with what will never be.
My great compliments to Art Smith, whom I consider to be the greatest character actor of his time (he played the psychiatrist in Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid, one of William Powell's later films). The scene in which he is violated is a great moment in film.
Hats off to a deeply moving film, brutally honest and perfectly executed, each performance being a gem of its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Bogart, Ray, Grahame,Solt,Lovejoy, etc,
Ian Muldoon (Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
One test for me is re-viewing and I've seen this film around ten times. The tenth time I found the initial scene between Ms Grahame and her lesbian masseur both witty and gripping as the almost sadistic masseur twisted, leant, squeezed with each vicious word her distaste for Ms Grahame's man, and I guess, for all men. But this is a film rich in such moments - including the apparently obligatory night club singing scene which was a cliche of the forties films - with the excellent singing performance interrupted by the enraged Dixon Steele (Bogart) as he physically attacks HIS BESPECTACLED BEST FRIEND AND AGENT at his table. Personally I find this film superior to REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. It is especially well written by Andrew Solt and Mr Ray gets fabulous performances out of all concerned. It is at the one time a film self deprecating about its own medium as an art - much irony within the film about the cliches of film - as well as a searing comment on post traumatic stress as the character played by Mr Bogart is clearly a victim of war. Indeed, I count the film amongst the best of its time which seems to get better with age. Brilliant in black and white.

5.0 out of 5 stars DARK, BROODING HUMAN EMOTIONS....,
Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
Excellent psychological noir drama about a cynical Hollywood screenwriter (Humphrey Bogart) with a disturbing violent streak who becomes a suspect in the brutal murder of a hat check girl from the club he frequents. His only alibi is Gloria Grahame, a starlet who's his neighbor in their apartment complex. She covers for him to the police even admitting that she likes his face. They begin a relationship and Grahame discovers his frightening violent tendencies. Now even she begins to doubt his innocence as well as fear for her own safety. Film crackles with cynicism and tension throughout and offers one of Bogart's best performances as the troubled writer struggling with his inner demons. Grahame is excellent in one of her first big roles before becoming the 50's film noir femme fatale she later did. Ironically, the film was directed by the great Nicholas Ray whose marriage to Grahame was falling apart at the time. This could explain why it has a bleak, gloomy feel to it and the two leads are such tormented characters who are powerless over their destinies. A must see, a must on DVD and a must have for those who know what Bogart could do in a role like this, for fans of Grahame and especially for those who are familiar with Nicholas Ray. A potent, adult film that's an underrated and overlooked classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Unpredictable Pseudo-Noir,
brewster22 "brewster22" (Evanston, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
"In a Lonely Place" is widely considered to be one of the best of the film noir genre, but I can't quite bring myself to give it noir status. It certainly has the ambiguity, sense of paranoia and seedy underworld setting of the standard noir, but it's also lacking in a few crucial elements that in my opinion give a film noir its noir: the femme fatale, the sense of underlying corruption. When Gloria Grahame first slinks her away across the screen, you think "Ah ha! Here's our femme fatale." But she's not, and this is only one instance of the way this film unpredictably turns the audience's expectations upside down.
The film is very unusual in the way it tells its story. Bogart plays a struggling screen writer suspected of murdering a young, star-struck girl. We know he hasn't done it, and we expect the film to be about the unraveling of the mystery surrounding her death in Bogie's attempts to prove his innocence. But that's not at all what we get. The murder is forgotten, never very important to begin with, and the film settles into a character study of Bogie, not concerned so much with whether or not he committed a murder but rather with whether or not he has the CAPACITY to commit murder. The cool, unflappable persona that greets us at the beginning of the movie (the Bogie we're used to), deteriorates into a paranoid, jealous, nearly psychotic loner by the film's end, and Gloria Grahame (who we early on suspected of having some devious aims) becomes our chief object of concern. The movie is all over the place in a good way, truly surprising and fresh.
The title of course refers to the lonely place of the interior psyche, and the demons that can haunt a man who has too much time with himself. Bogie spends so much time in the imaginary worlds he creates for his screenplays, that he can't seem to deal any longer with the reality of the material world around him, or maintain relationships that don't rely on his bullying his way into getting what he wants. And the saddest thing is that he knows this about himself. It's a great display of acting on Bogie's part and a neat deconstruction of the Bogie screen persona.
Grade: A-

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Great Performance in a Tragic Film Noir.,
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
Hot-tempered, uncompromising screenwriter Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) hasn't been able to write a successful script in years. When he's asked to adapt a popular novel, Dix invites an enthusiastic young hatcheck girl (Martha Stewart) who has read the book to tell him about it. She cancels a date for the chance to explain the novel to the famous screenwriter, and he's happy not to have to read the book. But Dix is summoned to the police station for questioning the next day, because the young woman was murdered shortly after leaving his apartment. A neighbor, Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame), who saw Dix the night before from her balcony, verifies that the murder victim left Dix's apartment alone. But Dix remains the police's prime suspect, as he and Laurel fall in love. Although she loves Dix, his controlling, violent personality eventually cause Laurel to distrust him, and then to suspect that he may be guilty of murder, after all.
"In a Lonely Place" is loosely based on the novel by Dorothy B. Hughes and is wonderfully reflexive in that Dixon Steele adapts a novel in the film, which he alters dramatically for his purposes. Edmund H. North, who adapted "In a Lonely Place", departed radically from Hughes' novel and completely rewrote the Dix character. Dixon Steele is a typical film noir protagonist in that he falls victim to his own character flaw: his violent and controlling nature. "In a Lonely Place" is a "Hollywood insider" film that takes place in and around the filmmaking industry and presents an unflattering view of the industry's motives and the audience's tastes. Even Burnett Guffey's "sunny California" cinematography is dark. Dix is to some extent made a heroic figure within this environment by his stubbornness -a writer with integrity trying to do good work in an industry of "popcorn salesman". Director Nicholas Ray is masterful at manipulating the audience's sympathies from Dix to Laurel and back again. When we are sympathetic to Dix, he frustrates the audience by being his own worst enemy. When he is callous and volatile, we wonder if he committed the crime. Ultimately, "In a Lonely Place" is about the corrosive effects of distrust and suspicion. Humphrey Bogart achieves true acting greatness with his complex performance, which is one of the most memorable of his career.
The DVD: Bonus features include 2 documentaries, a sort of retrospective of Bogart's career, and trailers for "In a Lonely Place", "The Lady from Shanghai", and "The Big Heat". "In a Lonely Place Revisited" (20 minutes) is hosted by director Curtis Hanson. Speaking from the courtyard of the hacienda-style apartment community where Dix and Laurel lived in the film, Hanson talks about various aspects of the film, including the director, actors, characters, and the collaboration between director Nicholas Ray and Humphrey Bogart that produced such an emotionally honest performance. He also contrasts the film and the book on which it was based. Commentary is illustrated with film clips. "In a Lonely Place: Restoration Story" (5 minutes) is an interesting look at the process of restoring the film from its original, very battered, cellulose nitrate film stock. Includes interviews with Sony's Vice President of Asset Management, Grover Crisp, the folks at Cinetech who restored the film images, and the folks at Chase Productions who restored the film's sound. "The Bogart Collection" (4 minutes) is a text bio of Humphrey Bogart's career, followed by posters and publicity stills for some of his films. Subtitles are available for the film in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. Dubbing is available in French.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating!!!!,
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place, released by Columbia Pictures in 1950, was long regarded as one of star Humphrey Bogart's minor films, as were most of the Columbia released Santana productions he made both during and after his lengthy and legendary tenure at Warner Bros. Now, the film is considered to contain one of his strongest performances. The Production Company was Bogart's own (Santana was the name of his yacht), which he started in 1948 and sold to Columbia Pictures in 1954. In a Lonely Place is not a whodunit, but it is cleverly disguised as one. The murder and suspense play a backstory to the study of an emotionally sick man involved in a world of strange tensions. The world is Hollywood and although a studio or camera are never seen on the screen, the film captures the loneliness, the lushness, and the edginess of it all. This remains one of the filmmaker's greatest and most deeply resonant features, and one of Bogart's best roles.Bogart plays Dix Steele, a fading screenwriter suffering from creative burnout. He is hired to adapt a best-selling novel, but instead of reading the book himself, he asks the hatcheck girl at his favorite nightclub to read the book and simply tell him the plot. The next morning, the girl is found brutally murdered, and Steele is the prime suspect. There isn't enough evidence to arrest him, but he's so good at thinking like a killer, and is always so up-front about what's on his mind, the police are forced to suspect him. "I'll be going now," he tells them. "Unless you plan on arresting me for lack of emotion."
It is the would-be starlet who has starred in a couple of B-pictures, Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame), a new tenant in Dix's apartment complex, who provides him with a solid alibi. Soon, they begin a romance in spite of Gray's lingering concerns that the violent Steele might in fact be the deadly killer, plunging the audience into an intriguing and suspenseful mystery, which quickly becomes a backdrop to the troubled romance between the two wonderfully realized characters.
A lesser director may have established Dix's innocence earlier on and although the spectator naturally assumes Dix is guilt-free (indeed, he does have an air-tight alibi), screenwriters Edmund H. North and Andrew Solt go to great lengths to play with audience expectations, although the film is more about the loneliness and despair in Tinseltown than about the murder mystery surrounding it. We don't see for ourselves that the cynical, alcoholic, and abusive Steele did not kill the hatcheck girl, and of course we have doubts since there is a limited amount of suspects. The only other suspect is Henry Kessler, who was Mildred's boyfriend. Dix, however, claims to have gone to sleep right after directing the girl to walk a block and take a cab home, but he is unable to provide the police with an alibi, and a tightening knot of suspicion begins to form around the writer. It is Mrs. Gray who claims she saw the hatcheck girl leave the apartment complex alone and provides him with one, and the couple fall in love as the suspense mounts.
At first, the new relationship is invigorating for the hard-boiled writer, who plunges into his latest script with a renewed vigor and discipline. But as the police continue to shadow him, Steele's own penchant for violence erupts against friends, strangers, and even Laurel herself, whose feelings are increasingly eclipsed by suspicion that her lover is a murderer, causing their relationship to spiral and her love to turn into mistrust, and fear. Bogart conveys Steele's world-weariness and underlying vulnerability, and manages the delicate task of making both his romantic yearning and sudden, murderous rages equally convincing. It gave him a role he could play with complexity, because the character's pride in his art, his selfishness, drunkenness, and lack of energy, stabbed with lightening strokes of violence, were shared by the real Bogart. Ultimately, that performance and Grahame's sympathetic work elevate In a Lonely Place into what has been called "an existential love story" more than a crime drama. The film is a desperate tale of fear and self-loathing in Hollywood cleverly posing as a taut noir thriller. It is the closing lines of the film version, which Dix had written into his
screenplay, that lingered in my mind longer than anything else. "I was born when she kissed me, I died when she left me, I lived a few weeks while she loved me." That powerful line sums up Dix's love life, and the film, extremely well

5.0 out of 5 stars Great direction, great acting!,
meiringen "meiringen" (the Midwest) - See all my reviews
This is one of those "small" films that get pushed aside in an actor's or director's body of work, and it deserves to be right at the top of both Bogart's and Nicholas Ray's best films.
Ray's direction is brilliant--use of light and shadows is great, and the pacing keeps you right on the edge of your seat.
Bogart gives probably one of the best (if not the best) performances of his career, and Gloria Grahame matches him. The two of them play off of each other brilliantly.
One of the "film noir" classics, and contains one of the most memorable quotes from any film:
"I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me."

2.0 out of 5 stars LONELY PLACE FOR CLASSICS AT COLUMBIA-TRISTAR,
Nix Pix (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
Nicholas Ray's "In A Lonely Place" is one of those eternally compelling film noirs that haunts you once you've seen it. Bogart is screenwriter, Dixon Steele. He's got a terrible temper that doesn't make him popular either amongst the studio big shots or his nightclubbing buddies. But has that uncontrollable rage led him to kill? Det. Sgt. Brub Nicholai (Frank Lovejoy) and Capt. Lochner (Carl Benton Reid) seem to think so. Dix' is their prime suspect in the homicide of a cocktail waitress. Of course it doesn't help that she was a guest at Steele's home the very night that she disappeared. Apart from its initial focus on murder, the bulk of this film is a moody melodrama buttressed by an impossible romance.
As is his trademark, Bogie plays Dix' as the brooding outsider but with an undercarriage of wicked cynicism that, at times, can be quite unsettling. Gloria Grahame costars as Bogie's sultry neighbor, Laurel Gray. At first believing Dix's innocence she embarks upon an ill-fated relationship, against both her better judgment and the advice of her meddling masseur, Martha (Ruth Gilette). Director Nicholas Ray keeps the tension taut yet supple, manipulating his audience with the proverbial "did he or didn't he" question ever looming in the back of our minds until the final fade out. But the film suffers somewhat from an inconsistent commitment to its many plot threads which never add up to a satisfactory conclusion in the end. Instead we are given a series of vignettes - - some feeling as though they belong to another movie - - and then a truncated conclusion which appears more the tack on after three or four viewings.
I'm not sure what the term "complete digital restoration" means over at Columbia Studios. When I think in those terms flashes of Paramount's "Sunset Blvd." or Warner's "Mildred Pierce" immediately come to mind. But when Columbia uses it, as they do in their 'restoration snippet trailer' included on this disc, they merely mean that they've digitally repaired some of the glaring rips and tears in the original camera negative. That's not complete and it's not even close to what a film like "In A Lonely Place needs. Throughout this often low contrasted B&W image, there is an excessive amount of film grain, dirt, scratches and, on occasion, aliasing and shimmering of fine details. Night scenes are worse off than day scenes, showing signs of rear projection photography that are extremely grainy and sometimes even out of focus. Indoor and day scenes on the whole fare better. But hey, this is film noir and often grit and grain go hand in glove. The audio is nicely balanced but again, needs more clean up to bring it up to acceptable levels for DVD release.
As far as extras, we get a feeble "making of" featurette and a really lousy "The Bogart Collection" montage that shows us stills from all the films Bogie made at Columbia, but not a single film clip, presumably because the footage is just so bad in terms of its deterioration of the original camera negative and film stock. It's such a shame that the regime at Columbia that was responsible for earlier efforts in the B&W classics dept. have either been fired or departed for greener pastures as their exemplary efforts are nowhere to be found on the studio's recent batch of lack luster transfers, of which "In A Lonely Place" is but one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bogey's Best,
R. A Rubin (Eastern, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Lonely Place (DVD)
Here's late 1940's early 1950's Film Noir, a love gone wrong drama. Bogart's ugliness, the angles of his forehead, the lines about his mouth are fascinating. Bogart is both violent and tender by body language. A truly remarkable and revealing performance. Not that the dialogue doesn't matter. It's brilliant give and take, literary musings with tough guy and gal repertoire. Gloria Graham is no piker either. She is the beautiful actress, but there is no doubt she loves Dixon Steele the screenwriter and comes to fear him too. I can't imagine another actress of this period pulling off this love story. And we get Bogart in love, a tough, and maybe psychotic guy in love. His manliness is counterpoint to his unprotected psyche. Also homage should be paid to Nicholas Ray's direction. There is a dark LA at night, eyes in the headlights of a post-war Buick feel in his direction. The story is adapted from a potboiler novel, but the adaptation takes it to another level.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The bidding war for a piece of Carolina Panthers history was just getting intense when the radio station employee asked Cindy Buchanan a question.

Remember That AdSense Publisher That Sued Google & Won? Well, He Lost
In March, we reported that a Google AdSense publisher sued Google and won in court, based on a Huffington Post story. Well, it turns out that on May 22nd, Google took this publisher to appeals court and the court overturned the decision.
Google's lawyers showed how this publisher agreed to the Google AdSense terms of service and then showed a screen shot of him violating those terms. I got my hands on the screen shot of his web site clearly showing users to click on the AdSense ads, which is against the AdSense terms of service. I also have obtained the court's documents showing the decision has been overturned.
Here is the picture of the web page that violated Google's terms of service:
Here is a copy as a PDF of the court document that shows that Google owed the plaintiff $0, overturning the ruling of $721 owed to the plaintiff.
Postscript: You can read the publisher's side of the story, which has a lot more detail, over here.

Whatever Happened to Tyler Beauty Who was Crowned Miss America?
Most Texans with long memories know about the two Texas beauties who won the Miss America Pageant in the 1970s, but you need an exceptionally long memory — or be very old — or both, to know anything about the Tyler girl who was Miss America in 1942.
The national press dubbed Jo-Carroll Dennison the "Texas Tornado" because she took the Miss America Pageant by storm. 18 years old at the time, Dennison won the swimsuit and talent portions of the contest with a boogie-woogie tap routine and a crowd-pleasing rendition of "Deep in the Heart of Texas."
Jo-Carroll was a natural entertainer because she was literally raised in show business, on the Medicine Show circuit by parents who headed a Vaudeville troupe. She was born in Tyler and she had been singing and dancing since she was two years old, but she returned to Tyler at age 17 to start supporting herself.
After going to business school and getting a secretarial job at a law firm, friends and others persuaded her to enter the 1942 Miss Tyler Pageant. From there she went on to win Miss Texas and Miss America.
As Miss America, Jo-Carroll visited defense plants, hospitals, army camps and sold war bonds. After her one year reign, she appeared in several movies including "Winged Victory" and "The Jolson Story." She also appeared in a number of television shows in the 1950s.
She married comedian Phil Silvers, but they were divorced five years later. She then married CBS producer Russell Stoneham, with whom she had two sons. She and Stoneham were divorced in 1981.
Jo-Carroll Dennison Silvers Stoneham is now 89 years old, and she still lives in California. Looking back, she says she "had a fantastic life and met so many interesting, talented people."
via East Texas Tales: Former Miss America Recalled As 'Texas Tornado'.
Jo-Carroll Dennison is one of only three Texans to win the Miss America title.
In 1971, long retired from show business, she was one of the judges who chose Phyllis George to be Miss Texas and send her to Atlantic City where she became Miss America.
In 1975, Miss Texas Shirley Cothran of Denton also won the Miss America crown.

Bojan Krkic made everyone in Barcelona take notice of him as the Spanish forward broke Lionel Messi's record of being the youngest player of the Catalan to be featured in La Liga match. When Bojan played for the youth academy of Barcelona, he made a name for himself by scoring over 850 goals during his time playing in the youth teams. It did not take long for him to sign a professional contract with the main squad of Barcelona and join the senior team.
After progressing to the senior team of Barcelona, his impact could never really be felt as he was usually being overlooked by other players such as: David Villa, Lionel Messi, Pedro and other players.
Barcelona eventually decided to release Bojan Krkic to As.Roma and Ac.Milan on loan deals with the option of the Italian club signing him on a permanent basis but neither of the clubs agreed to sign him permanently as Bojan could never really make his presence be felt in any of those teams.

Suarez Remains Banned Until End Of OctoberSubmitted by content on Tue, 08/26/2014 - 15:25.
Luis Suarez was recently given the all clear to make an appearance for Barcelona in the friendly matches and also to train with the team. However, he remains suspended until the end of October as a result of the four month ban he received from Fifa for biting into Italy defender Chiellini. It is highly anticipated that he will make his debut for his new team in the El Clasico against Real Madrid. Ahead of this match the expectations are that the striker will perform exceptionally well. However, there have also been some doubters who think that the 27-year-old will struggle to settle at the Camp Nou.
United Secures Shaw And HerreraSubmitted by content on Tue, 07/08/2014 - 15:37.
Manchester United has recently secured the services of a couple of exciting players in the form of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. The fans of the club are quite happy with these new signings and so are the other players of the team.
The two prominent players of the Red Devils' squad i.e. Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young have given warm welcome to the above mentioned two guys.
Young wrote on a social networking site, "I am very happy with the arrival of the new boys Ander and Luke and I want to welcome them with open arms. Really, can't wait to meet them."
While, Rooney, who is recovering from a disastrous World Cup journey with England, wrote, "Luke Shaw comes to United. He's a great bloke and a terrific player. Welcome boy."
The Red Devils are rumoured to have spent a lot of bucks to bring Shaw and Herrera at Old Trafford.
Andres Iniesta says Spain will remember Dutch humiliationSubmitted by content on Mon, 06/23/2014 - 10:21.
Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta has said the team is not likely to forget the humiliation they suffered at the hands of the Netherlands in their opening group game at the World Cup in a hurry and will look to make amends and secure progression into the next round.
Vicente del Bosque oversaw his side surrender a one goal lead to go down 5-1 to an energetic and hungry Dutch side with Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben grabbing two goals each as the reigning world champions suffered their biggest defeat since 1963.
The victory has been hailed by the Dutch media as a perfect payback for their 2010 World Cup final defeat at the hands of Spain while the Spanish media has slammed the team for being too casual in their approach to the game and being arrogant enough to not take the Dutch seriously enough.
Iniesta Believes Martino Is Right For The JobSubmitted by content on Mon, 06/02/2014 - 14:52.
Andres Iniesta has surprised everyone by stating that he feels that manager Gerardo Martino is the right fit for Barcelona despite rumours that he is set to depart at the end of the season after a very poor campaign. After winning the league title last season under Tito Vilanova, Barcelona were expected to push on to new heights under Martino. The Argentine was reportedly appointed after recommendation from Lionel Messi, but things have not gone the same way as he would have hoped.
BARCA PREPARESubmitted by isport on Thu, 05/08/2014 - 12:41.
Andres Iniesta's Barcelona team will be preparing to face rivals Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, as they look to seal yet another semi-final place. Barcelona have appeared in all the Champions League semifinals since 2007.
Iniesta has been a major part of it and he is set to make his 500th appearance for the club in this encounter. He needs to be at his best in order to help the Catalan club get over Atletico, who have a 1-1 advantage from the first leg. The score may be level on aggregate, but the crucial away goal gives Diego Simeone's team a vital advantage.
The second leg will be at the Vicente Calderon, where Atletico have been extremely strong this season.
BARCA TAKE ON REALSubmitted by isport on Tue, 03/25/2014 - 15:05.
Barcelona will be taking on Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu this weekend in what promises to be the title decider in Spain. Even though Atletico Madrid are also involved in the title race with only a handful of matches remaining, it is seen as a contest between Madrid and Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti's men have taken the upper hand over the Catalan outfit in the last few weeks. Barcelona have been inconsistent against teams like Valencia and this has made them slip four points behind Real Madrid. Midfielder Andres Iniesta has admitted that the club will not be able to retain the title if they do not win the upcoming El Clasico.
SOCIEDAD SHOCK BARCASubmitted by isport on Tue, 02/25/2014 - 07:37.
Barcelona went through a very surprising 3-1 defeat when they faced off against Real Sociedad and this loss has allowed Real Madrid to step it up and be the new leaders of La Liga, for the 1st time in this entire season.
Andres Iniesta has always been considered as a leader not only inside the pitch but also outside of it as well. Following the conclusion of the match, the Spanish midfielder had a few words of encoragement to say about their recent defeat.
"Real Sociedad played really well. They were better than us; we were always trailing them," Iniesta told the official Barca website. "This defeat shouldn't make us give up. We have to work hard and turn this situation around. There are many points left, and we have games against direct rivals."
INJURIES HIT BARCASubmitted by isport on Tue, 01/21/2014 - 07:35.
It has been made clear from Barcelona's side that the injury that Andres Iniesta had suffered on his knees while being on the pitch against Atletico Madrid is not serious and the midfielder would not be missing games because of that.
Iniesta had discovered the injury in the first quarter of that match and his movement seemed to have hindered by that. Eventually, during the half time break, the Barcelona management decided that he wouldn't take any further part in the match and when the second half action started, it was Lionel Messi who walked out with the team on the place of Iniesta.
Because of the fact that Iniesta wasn't sent on to the ground in the second half, some people were assuming that his injury might be serious and he might be ruled out for a few days, but, according to Barcelona management, he was taken off just for precaution. He went for the tests later on and it was confirmed that there's not anything to be concerned about.
NO PANICSubmitted by isport on Tue, 12/03/2013 - 14:04.
Andres Iniesta has said that his Barcelona teammates shouldn't panic despite a couple of defeats in the last few days.
Barcelona's performance in their last couple of games has been disastrous. They have suffered competitive defeats against Ajax Amsterdam and Athletic Bilbao respectively.
One can understand Barcelona's defeat against Ajax as the Dutch side has got some quality, but, very few people would have expected them to lose against Athletic Bilbao.
However, Iniesta reckons that everything is alright and panic shouldn't creep in the Barcelona camp.
The Spaniard was talking to the reporters yesterday. When he was asked if the confidence level of his side has gone down because of those two defeats, he said, "No, I don't think so. It was just a couple of bad days. We don't need to start panicking because of that. The confidence level of the guys is still the same."

Here are several things to consider before you stand before the ballot and make your choices.
- Can you trust the candidate to use their skills, talents and experiences to make wise choices, follow their convictions and be true to the promises they made on the campaign trail?
- The campaign process is a competition marathon. Has your choice demonstrated the type of character and personal values that you feel will allow her/him to deal with the stress of the office, stand up against the pressure to cave in to the demands of a strong willed senior representative, political party members or overly influential lobbyists or contributors?
- Is your decision based on your own research and knowledge of the candidate's positions, actions and experience or have you been unduly swayed by slick, politically bias advertising that solely painted the other candidate in an unfavorable light, perhaps even misrepresenting their position altogether?
- Will your candidate be capable of working across the political aisle to seek solutions to the problems that face our government or will she/he be an obstructionists who digs in their heels to anything proposed by the other side?
- Will your candidate place country, state, county or town first before their own political ambition or their personal gain?
Given the many issues facing our society it is extremely important that the choices we make during this election cycle be ones that cause positive improvement for the benefit of the population as a whole. We must put aside our own personal interest and look at the good of all as we cast the ballot that will set the course of government and the many lives affected by their actions for the next several years. May God bless and assist the men and women we place into these important offices. Please remember to vote Nov. 6.

One of the powerful, enduring legacies of St. John Paul II's nearly 30-year pontificate, are the priests and bishops whose vocations were inspired and formed by the newly canonized saint's efforts: the JP2 Generation.
One young priest whose heart was captured by St. John Paul II from the very beginning he stepped out onto St. Peter's balcony was a Father Donald Wuerl, today's Cardinal Wuerl of the Archdiocese of Washington.
A few years later then-Father Wuerl found himself a collaborator in St. John Paul II's reform of the priesthood: assisting in the mandated study of U.S. seminaries, and later (as bishop) at the synod on priestly formation that would lead to Pastores Dabo Vobis, the...READ MORE

Diddy is somehow keeping his goofy, candy-flavored Ciroc vodka brand afloat, so why wouldn't a Hollywood superstar like George Clooney step into the booze biz? Especially with a high-quality, 100% Blue Weber agave tequila made by master distillers in Jalisco, Mexico. His new Casamigos Tequila comes in 2 flavors, Blanco and Reposado and both are smooth enough for sipping straight-up.
Winespeak. It's for waiters and the ex-wives they wait on. All you need to appreciate wine is a mouth but this book can get you a few steps further along in understanding what you're drinking. Written without winespeak, master sommelier Richard Betts adds insight and humor (gasp) to help you identify and appreciate your wine. Yes, it really is a scratch-n-sniff book.
This season you can play the starring role in your own rendition of Bad Santa with this advent calendar that features 24 sweet 3cl sample drams of fine whisky instead of stupid chocolates. And when the whisky is spelled without an E, you know it's top shelf. Happy holidays indeed.
Booze billionaire Sidney Frank created Grey Goose vodka & 7 years later sold the brand to Bacardi for a cool $2 billion. Instead of disappearing on the permanent vacation most of us would take, Frank turned his attention to developing American Harvest. Made with all organic ingredients, AH vodka is handcrafted in small batches with wheat from a family-owned sustainable farm, then distilled & bottled in Idaho. Smooth, crisp, & yes, 100% American made.
Hall-of-fame Chicago Bulls power forward, 5-time NBA champ, crossdresser and wannabe diplomat Dennis Rodman is now adding Booze Purveyor to his résumé. His "tough and edgy, yet "smooth and classic" Bad Boy vodka will be available at the end of July for 20 bucks-a-bottle.
After 30 years as the frontman for Iron Maiden, it's safe to assume that Bruce Dickinson knows a thing or two about beer. But in creating their signature Trooper ale, the band didn't just license the logo for a beer label. Dickinson actually worked to develop the classic English Ale with the experts at Robinsons, a 175 year-old UK brewer. Available late summer in the USA.
Even the world's best coffee is not its best when served in a paper, foam, or plastic cup. The reusable glass coffee cup from Joco not only makes the taste of your brew better, it reduces waste. Bonus features include a thermal silicone sleeve, a spill-proof lid and a "cyclonic" cup base that evenly disperses your sugar as you stir.
Your neighbors sure are crafty, with their cruelty-free beekeeping & the organic herb garden they never shut up about. But when you ferment your first batch of homemade mead (that ancient honey wine consumed by dragon-slaying knights in the middle ages) you'll be the new champion of Who's Craftiest. This kit includes everything you need to make 5 1-gallon batches.
A pack of science lab lushes created a smartphone-controlled liquor-slinging robot that can accurately and efficiently mix hundreds of cocktails. We just hope this team of geniuses didn't forget to make the robot a good listener and a heavy-handed pourer. And what about tips?
The Green Revolution is real. It must be, right? How else could a blend of super-caffeinated coffee called Death Wish that's 200% stronger than a regular roast, actually be Fair Trade & certified organic? This would seem to suggest that having a Death Wish is actually a good thing.

Dean Griffin
Dean Griffin has had many different jobs in his lifetime. He started out doing telecommunications right out of high school, then worked as a limousine chauffer for 17 years, where his clients included Madonna, Metallica, Billy Squire, Bette Midler, Donald Trump and Barbara Streisand, just to name a few. From there, Dean went on to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a truck driver; a career with long hours and lots of hard work, but one he loved nonetheless. Unfortunately, after being seriously injured on the job, Dean had to give up his truck driving career and is now self-employed as a remote-control technician, repairing and building remote control cars, trucks, boats and planes. Dog training had never really crossed Dean's mind until he met his wife, who owned two pit bulls and fostered dogs for numerous rescues. Dean was inspired to pursue dog training as a career by his "stubborn, bratty and unruly" pit bull. He wanted to prove to himself—and everyone else—what hard work, dedication and positive-training methods could do. Dean is now in the final stage of the Dog Obedience Instructor Program, and has already been asked by his externship Mentor Trainer to stay on board with the San Francisco SPCA's Pit Crew.

Like many people after graduating high school, Janelle had a hard time deciding what she wanted to do with her life. She changed her mind many times and considered many different career options: social worker, wedding planner, real estate agent and mechanic. Nothing truly called out to her until she adopted her dog Marcus. She decided then that she wanted to be a dog trainer—and she hasn't looked back since. Janelle is currently working a retail job while she saves money to start her own business. She plans to open her own rescue and dog training facility, which will also include: grooming, agility courses, boarding kennels and a dog park. Continue reading

Keith Andersen
ABC Student, Keith Andersen resides in Burnaby, BC, Canada, and is currently working with Vision Quest Recovery Society as its in-house dog trainer. Dog training was not Keith's first choice of careers. He tried the accounting industry, but didn't like being stuck behind a desk. Keith then moved on to construction work and now is making dog training a full-time job.
"My goal is to retire very soon and devote the rest of my time to dogs," he said.
Keith found Animal Behavior College on Google. He had looked at many distant-learning programs as well as local ones. Out of all of them, ABC had the most professional look and was very reasonable.
What prompted you to become a dog trainer? Was there a specific event, circumstance or person who inspired you to pursue this career?
I decided to become a certified dog trainer after working with my dog Mak and using that knowledge to help others. It made sense to me to be certified. Working with Mak as a guinea pig taught me a lot about myself and how humans interact with their furry friends. It showed me how much fun humans can have and how our happiness with our buddies can make them happy.
Describe one pet story that touched you the most during your volunteer hours. Do you plan on continuing your volunteer work?
I have spent most of my volunteer hours doing the Puppy Pet Rehabilitation Program at Vision Quest. The most rewarding story is with Zander, our first rescue. He was shy and lacked self confidence when we first got him. His obedience skills were not bad but needed polishing. By using the Urban Agility and Confidence Program I am working on, we got him to come out of his shell and gain much more confidence. Also, he became much more athletic, a bonus.
I plan on spending much more time with that program and expanding it with the hope of introducing it to others.
Have you started training professionally yet? If yes, are you training full- or part-time?
I have started training but only part time. I am busy winding down the waterproofing business and developing the Vision Quest program. I also am completing my Pet First Aid Instructors program.
What are your plans for dog training? Do you want specialize in particular type of training or in training a particular breed of dog?
I will do basic obedience training but there are many "trainers" who do that already. I want to focus on the rescue program with Vision Quest. I also want to teach the Urban Agility and Confidence program, teach first aid and to run a program I call "Doguistics," which teaches humans how dogs communicate to themselves and to us. I also will include how dogs learn and how important "leadership" is as opposed to "alpha" and being dominant. I would also like to get involved with reactive dogs and helping them have a better life.
Which dog breed best describes you and why?
Labrador Retrievers; they are smart, hard working, very sociable and love people and other dogs. Also, they're well-liked by most people.

Linda Domer
In 2010, ABC student Linda Domer was diagnosed with a very serious form of cancer. Throughout multiple rounds of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgeries, the one thing on her mind was, "What will happen to Holly Belle if I die?" Holly Belle was a rescue dog who had come to Linda as an 8-month-old puppy with many issues. She was very guarding and aggressive, and made life with her a challenge, to say the least. By the time Linda was diagnosed, Holly Belle was a senior dog with bad behavior and her chances of being adopted were slim. Fortunately, Linda recovered and Holly Belle remained with her until she died. As Linda continued to recover, she decided that no one facing their own mortality should have to agonize over the fate of the pets they might leave behind. She made the decision to learn as much as she could about animal behavior and how to modify it- and she has never looked back.
What was/is the biggest challenge you faced during your externship and how did you overcome it?
The greatest challenge was when I took Delilah to her first training session with my Mentor Trainer, Chris Bevillard, in Frederick, Md.. Delilah was young, not food motivated and exhibited every single stressor on the list. She could not function at all in the class environment. It was time for a plan. I took her to Petsmart or Petco every day. At first it was only for a few minutes, and then we slowly built up to longer periods of time. We eventually began asking her to perform behaviors she would routinely give at home. By the time her second class rolled around she was a little improved but still not at all comfortable. So, we continued our trips and by week three, she was ready to work in class.
What has been your most rewarding moment during your externship?
My most rewarding moment was that week three when we walked into class and Chris said, "What's up with Delilah? She is calm, what happened?" My only reply was, "Lots of hard work." She continued to do well during the remainder of her formal training. We still continue training at home and she is brilliant.
Describe one pet story that touched you the most during your volunteer hours. Do you plan on continuing your volunteer work?
I have many great stories about the dogs I have worked with at the Washington County Humane Society, but the first always sticks with you the most. Deuce was a 2-year-old, unaltered, 51-lb male American Pit Bull Terrier who had been surrendered by his owner. He was terrified, aggressive and lashed out. The first few days I just sat by his kennel door and talked to him and offered treats. By day three I was in his kennel with him. By day five we were outside doing leash work. He would walk on the leash, sit, down and relax when asked. He no longer jumped on or lunged at people, and he was becoming a really great dog. I worked with him for about three weeks total; three days a week for about 1.5 hours each day. I left Deuce one Friday feeling really pleased for him because he was really "getting it" and for myself because I was making a difference in his life. When I returned on that Sunday to work with Deuce, he was not in his kennel. I hoped he had been adopted, but was told upon inquiry that he had been euthanized. I was devastated and left the building certain I would not go back. But, I did go back. I have worked with many other dogs and brought them successfully to adoption. I will always continue to work with shelter dogs and Deuce will always be right there with me.
What has your experience been like in the ABC Dog Obedience Program?
I have loved every minute I have spent in this program. It is well paced and help is always available.

Tanisha Shea Hasson
As a registered veterinary technician, Tanisha Shea Hasson was used to working with animals while they were under anesthesia on an operating table. However, it became clear to her that she preferred working with animals while they were awake and well, which ignited her interest in dog training. Tanisha began searching online for different programs and decided that Animal Behavior College best suited her needs; as it would afford her the flexibility to continue working while completing the program. After successfully completing the Dog Obedience Program, she has since gone on to launch her own business, Pet Pro Services. While dog training is the main service she offers, she hopes to expand her business to include grooming, pet-sitting, dog walking and cat behavior modification. Even as her business continues to grow, Tanisha still makes time to volunteer at her local shelter, helping homeless dogs become more adoptable.
Where do you live and train now?
I live and train in London, Ontario. I currently train part-time, but I am looking to expand my business and start training more.
What was the biggest challenge you have faced during your externship and how did you overcome it?
There were a couple of body postures that I was originally performing incorrectly. I just made sure that I listened closely to my mentor's instructions, and practiced them until I had them down correctly.
During your volunteer hours, describe one pet story that touched you the most.
There was a dog at the shelter who was extremely stressed out. She had been there for quite a while. As I worked more with her, she really began to show her true colors. She was smart, attentive and eager to learn. I was able to help draw those qualities out of her, and she was adopted later that week.
How did you hear about the ABC program and what convinced you to become certified?
I found out about the program online while researching about dog training. I am a firm believer in continuing education, and the flexibility of the ABC program gave me the ability to continue working while I studied. I wanted to earn my certificate in order to achieve the level of professionalism I feel is important when starting your own business.
Which dog breed best describes you and why?
I would say that I am like a Husky/Lab mix. I like my independence yet I am friendly and outgoing.

As a young girl, ABC Graduate Stephanie McSweenie always wanted to become either a veterinarian or a zookeeper. However, because she could not stand to see animals in pain, even though she would be helping them, she decided to become a dog trainer. While she and her friend were looking online for colleges to attend after high school, they came across Animal Behavior College. It wasn't until after Stephanie applied at a local doggie daycare that she made her final decision. Her soon-to-be-boss had an ABC Graduate Certificate on the wall in the lobby.

Karen Garmon
When Karen Garmon was just 14 years' old, she met a woman with lupus who had several service dogs to help her with everyday life. Karen knew right then that she wanted to become a dog trainer to help others in similar situations. However, it wasn't until recently—when her children were old enough—that she enrolled at Animal Behavior College to pursue her dream of becoming a dog trainer. Karen recently finished her externship and is currently doing her volunteer hours for ABC's Students Saving Lives program. After her externship, the owner of a veterinary office reached out to Karen to see if she would be interested in teaching classes and working as a behavior consultant. She never imagined she would have such a great opportunity presented to her before she even graduated. She was pleasantly surprised by how things seemed to fall in place.
"The options are really limitless, and the sky is truly the limit," Karen said. "When you love what you do, and the work is fun, you know you have found your niche." Continue reading

Nikki Headon
It is not often that people become known within their industry solely by word of mouth, yet that is exactly how current ABC student Nikki Headon became involved in the dog training world. She began doing basic obedience in the Lloydminster area (which straddles the border between Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada) for extremely cheap or sometimes even for free. Around that same time, Nikki began volunteering at her local SPCA. Between her obedience training and volunteering, she quickly became known for her work with particularly aggressive dogs. She was inspired to work with dogs that most people would have given up on. This passion for helping dogs in need prompted her to start her own dog rehabilitation and rescue. Coca's Promise specializes in helping dogs with behavior issues and has helped many cats and dogs find their forever homes. Continue reading

Our pre-cruise stop in Fort Lauderdale is the Hilton Garden Inn Dania. Not only is it convenient for airport and cruise transportation, but it offers a shuttle to the massive shopping center across the street, which is filled with shops and restaurants.
Our #1 choice of places to eat is Sal's Hollywood, which features great homemade Italian food at reasonable prices,( a hotel key gets you 15% off). On our latest visit, we enjoyed one of the house specials, Veal alla Romano, tender veal in a homemade sauce, which was outstanding.
