"Pulpy, peppery and sinister, served up in a comic deadpan...This scorpion-tailed little thriller leaves a response, and a sting, you will remember."--NEW YORK TIMES "The wittiest and most fun murder party you've ever been invited to."--MARIE CLAIRE WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 WOMEN'S PRIZE A short, darkly funny, hand grenade of a novel about a Nigerian woman whose younger sister has a very inconvenient habit of killing her boyfriends "Femi makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer." Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she's exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she's willing to go to protect her. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite's deliciously deadly debut is as fun as it is frightening.

Book three of Murders by Design Interior designer Deva Dunne just may have hit the jackpot. Sure, her new client Francesco Grandese talks tough and has shady friends, but he has the eye of a connoisseur, and a huge, empty mansion he wants her to decorate. Deva's boyfriend, police lieutenant Victor Rossi, has misgivings about her promising job—especially when he accompanies her to one of Francesco's dinner parties. After Francesco returns a dish to the kitchen untasted, the chauffeur promptly scarfs it down and drops dead from cyanide poisoning. Has the killer made a terrible mistake and murdered the wrong person? Or was the dead man the intended victim? The only thing Deva knows for certain is someone present that night committed murder. And it seems everyone—from the dinner guests to the kitchen help—has a motive. 71,000 words
A Killer of Serial Women

Publisher : Xlibris Corporation
File Pdf: a-killer-of-serial-women.pdf
Philosophers maintain that the goal of life is to gain wisdom, and the unexamined life is not worth living. And with aging comes the ability to accept ourselves as who we are. This book tests the truth of these precepts by posing the challenge of a life lived at the edge. William Marten gives us the rare opportunity to experience a side of life few of us know. His sexual development from his earliest years to the present has been as a sadomasochist, which has been the source of soul-searing shame. The only cure he could envision was suicide. A Killer of Serial Women, alternately painful and hilarious, traces Williams path through life, from the child who became fixated on a drawing of Prometheus tortured by an eagle, through the young adult tortured by desires for sexual release based on physical suffering, to an almost mythical ordeal through which he learns compassion and acceptance. With extraordinary honesty, intelligence, clarity, and humor, his life shows us that even people we think of as other, as alien, share our common humanity.

On the evening of August 21,1983, Metropolitan Police detectives raced to the cells of London's Clapham Police Station to find a prisoner dead and his cellmate sat cross-legged and quiet in the corner. Kieran Kelly, a laborer from Ireland, quickly confessed to strangling the prisoner – and then stunned officers by confessing to dozens of unreported and unsolved murders over the previous 30 years. Detectives believed they were in the presence of Britain's most prolific serial killer yet Kelly was convicted on just two of his admissions and his story went unnoticed until 2015, when a former police officer who worked on the case claimed the killer's crimes were covered up by the British Government. Strangulations, murders on the London Underground, an internal Metropolitan Police review – as the story's elements whipped the international news media into a frenzy, journalist Robert Mulhern set off on a methodical search for the truth against the backdrop of an ever-increasing body count. Could Kieran Kelly really have murdered 31 times?

File Pdf: killer-clown.pdf
The "chilling" story of America's most notorious serial killer by the man who helped catch him—now updated with the latest DNA findings (Nashville Banner). He was a model citizen. A hospital volunteer. And one of the most sadistic serial killers of all time. But few people could see the cruel monster beneath the colorful clown makeup that John Gacy wore to entertain children in his Chicago suburb. Few could imagine what lay buried beneath his house of horrors—until a teenaged boy disappeared before Christmas in 1978, leading prosecutor Terry Sullivan on the greatest manhunt of his career. Reconstructing the investigation—from records of violence in Gacy's past, to the gruesome discovery of twenty-nine corpses of abused boys in Gacy's crawlspace and four others found in the nearby river—Sullivan's shocking eyewitness account takes you where few true crime books ever go: inside the heart of a serial murder investigation and trial. This updated edition features new revelations that have emerged using DNA evidence to confirm the identities of additional victims—and sixteen pages of dramatic photos. "An unnerving true crime story of murder, terror, and justice." —Dallas Morning News "As with a good mystery story, to the very end of Killer Clown we find ourselves still rooting for good to triumph over evil, yet fearing that the dice may be loaded the other way." —Chicago Tribune "Gripping study . . . for true crime addicts" —Publishers Weekly "You will learn more in this book about the daily activities of a police department than you will from any number of Ed McBain novels or episodes of Hill Street Blues." —The Charleston News & Courier

From New York Times bestselling author Pete Earley—the strange but true story of how a young man's devastating brain injury gave him the unique ability to connect with the world's most terrifying criminals. Fifteen-year-old Tony Ciaglia had everything a teenager could want until he suffered a horrific head injury at summer camp. When he emerged from a coma, his right side was paralyzed, he had to relearn how to walk and talk, and he needed countless pills to control his emotions. Abandoned and shunned by his friends, he began writing to serial killers on a whim and discovered that the same traumatic brain injury that made him an outcast to his peers now enabled him to connect emotionally with notorious murderers. Soon many of America's most dangerous psychopaths were revealing to him heinous details about their crimes—even those they'd never been convicted of. Tony despaired as he found himself inescapably drawn into their violent worlds of murder, rape, and torture—until he found a way to use his gift. Asked by investigators from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to aid in solving a murder, Tony launched his own searches for forgotten victims with clues provided by the killers themselves. The Serial Killer Whisperer takes readers into the minds of murderers like never before, but it also tells the inspiring tale of a struggling American family and a tormented young man who found healing and closure in the most unlikely way—by connecting with monsters.

The haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California during the 70s and 80s, and of the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case—which was solved in April 2018. Introduction by Gillian Flynn • Afterword by Patton Oswalt "A brilliant genre-buster.... Propulsive, can't-stop-now reading." —Stephen King For more than ten years, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south, where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. Then he disappeared, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area. Three decades later, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist who created the popular website TrueCrimeDiary.com, was determined to find the violent psychopath she called "the Golden State Killer." Michelle pored over police reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the online communities that were as obsessed with the case as she was. I'll Be Gone in the Dark—the masterpiece McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death—offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman's obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Utterly original and compelling, it has been hailed as a modern true crime classic—one which fulfilled Michelle's dream: helping unmask the Golden State Killer.

Is it ever okay for a government to lie to the people? This work is a fiction novel that provides answers to the unnerving questions surrounding the John F. Kennedy assassination. It tells a story about people of power and the extremes they will go, to protect their interests. The John F. Kennedy assassination is inarguably one of the most publicly witnessed murder in the history of the United States. This thriller, as well as the sequel, Killer at the Ambassador Hotel, his fourth book, shows the author's deep Italian roots as he reflects on family traditions and relationships. Both mystery novels tie the Mafia into the Kennedy assassinations and follow a dutiful grandson as he abides by his family's rules. Although the outcome is all too well known, Richard provides an alternative possibility regarding the "How" of this tragic event in history.

Hello Charlie
By Charlie Hess,Hess,Davin Seay
File Pdf: hello-charlie.pdf
The 1991 abduction and murder of thirteen-year-old Heather Dawn Church baffled police for three agonizing years, and became one of the most infamous murders the quiet and scenic city of Colorado Springs had ever seen. It was legendary homicide detective Lou Smit who finally broke the case, sending Robert Charles Browne, a forty-three-year-old Louisiana drifter and career criminal, to prison for life. But the savage saga of Robert Browne did not end there. In 2000, Smit, now retired, joined forces with Charlie Hess, an ex-FBI agent and former CIA operative, to reexamine the cold-case murder files of the local Sheriff's Department. With the addition of amateur forensics buff Scott Fischer, the Apple Dumpling Gang was born. As their volunteer work continued, Smit, Hess, and Fischer came upon a taunting letter written by Browne, hinting that the death of Heather Church was only the tip of the iceberg. What other law enforcement officials had simply ignored, the Apple Dumpling Gang took on with single-minded determination. Charlie Hess began a correspondence with Browne in which, over the course of dozens of letters, the killer teasingly spun out the details of a horrific killing spree spread over thirty years and nine states. The tally, according to Browne: forty-nine deaths, making him one of the most prolific serial murderers in the annals of American crime. Hess's unique insight into criminal psychology, honed over his years developing informants and working as a polygraph operator, made him uniquely suited to match wits with the cagey and canny killer. But Browne was every bit the retired cop's equal: quickwitted, mercurial, and charismatic, with a penchant for riddles and a lifetime full of grisly secrets. A riveting account of the complex and chilling cat-and-mouse game Hess and Browne played over five years, Hello Charlie details Browne's bloody swath of murder -- by strangulation, poisoning, and dismemberment -- even as it explores the special bond forged between the cop and the killer, allowing Hess unprecedented access into the mind of a remorseless psychopath. As compulsively readable as any crime novel, Hello Charlie picks up where The Silence of the Lambs left off, with the incredible true story of one man's search for justice with a murderer as his guide.

He was offered an impossible mission: Coax a confession out of a fellow inmate, a serial killer, and walk free. Jimmy Keene grew up outside of Chicago. Although he was the son of a policeman and rubbed shoulders with the city's elite, he ended up on the wrong side of the law and was sentenced to ten years with no chance of parole. Just a few months into his sentence, Keene was approached by the prosecutor who put him behind bars. He had convicted a man named Larry Hall for abducting and killing a fifteen-year-old. Although Hall was suspected of killing nineteen other young women, there was a chance he could still be released on appeal. If Keene could get him to confess to two murders, there would be no doubt about Hall's guilt. In return, Keene would get an unconditional release from prison. But he could also get killed. A story that gained national notoriety, this is Keene's powerful tale of peril, violence, and redemption.

Private security divides Temescal
Yolanda Martinez on November 5, 2013
The quiet but vibrant Telegraph Avenue in the northwest side of Temescal is lined with busy coffee shops, small candlelit restaurants and thrift shops. It is a prime location for mugging — mostly cell phone snatching — in a neighborhood that is seeing robberies go up. The response to these crimes is dividing the neighborhood.
Some residents have banded together in an effort to hire private security patrols, like the neighborhoods of Rockridge and Maxwell Park. Supporters of private security, like business owner Ellen Kim, claim that patrols are only one component in an effort to make some residents feel safe again. Emi Kane, an opponent of private security, wants neighbors to come together and address the social and economic issues fueling the increase in crime.
At a community meeting in mid-October the two camps clashed.
Kim is a longtime resident of the area and owns a flower shop in Temescal. She first got involved after reading several articles about other neighborhoods that were bringing in private security patrols to prevent crime. She contacted Scott Vermeire, another local businessman who at the time coordinated efforts. She reached out to him, wanting to investigate the issue further.
"I don't think security patrols are a solution to all of Oakland's crime problems," Kim said, but she added she wants "to try something. I feel like our neighborhood needs to try something."
Kane has lived in Temescal for only two years, but she has been living in the East Bay on and off since 1999. She works with various Oakland schools and wants to discuss alternatives to private security, like more streetlights and supporting local community-based organizations.
"This neighborhood is changing rapidly," said Kane. "You can't talk about that without connecting the dots with poverty and displacement and the accelerated gentrification of the neighborhood."
Before the October meeting, the contentious issue of private security had been discussed in Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council meetings, online neighborhood forums, and chat groups. After a lightly attended NCPC meeting in September that touched on private security, co-chair Lee Edwards helped set up another meeting in October that expressly addressed the issue.
Edwards explained that the NCPC is not heading the private security efforts; it is only facilitating the discussion.
About 200 flyers were posted throughout the neighborhood that read, "Join the discussion to bring into Temescal Private Security Patrols."
"I think they thought it would be a recruitment event," said Kane, who was at the meeting.
Kim, one of the meeting organizers, did expect a more approving crowd. "In our minds it wasn't going to be a debate," said Kim.
The goal of the meeting, attended by 70 to 80 people, was a point of confusion for some. Kim was looking forward to getting community input in deciding next steps in the implementation of security.
But Kane said that many other attendees thought the meeting was only to discuss the prospect of security patrols. When opponents found out the meeting organizers were going to move forward, despite their concerns, some expressed frustration.
Several residents spoke about their concerns over racial profiling, especially after the death of Trayvon Martin, a Florida teenager gunned down by a neighborhood watch volunteer.
During the meeting, a Latino resident and a transgender resident questioned the safety of those that do not fit the description of an "average citizen." Both spoke to the idea that they could be considered outsiders in their own neighborhood and would actually feel less safe with private security.
"I believe that increasing police presence in a neighborhood only increases safety for some people," said Kane.
A major bone of contention, is whether to have armed guards or un-armed.
But whether guards are armed or unarmed, Kane said she is worried about the potential "militarization" of her neighborhood.
Proponents view things differently.
"I personally don't think it's detrimental to the neighborhood," said Kim. She added that "people are going to want to do it, and those people are going to pay for the service and move forward."
Oakland Police Lieutenant Chris Bolton was at the meeting and shared crime statistics for the area. During the meeting, Bolton acknowledged that crime displacement exists and that it affects OPD's patrol strategies.
Some residents have organized and are planning on hosting another meeting with neighbors who are against private security patrols. They know they cannot stop residents from signing up to hire private security, but they want to start a conversation about gentrification, displacement, and education in Temescal.
"Since the meeting, I've stopped being involved in the process," said Scoot Vermeire, who was one of the speakers in the October meeting. The issue has become too contentious.
With or without a neighborhood consensus, Kim said they will move forward. She has already talked to some security companies, but wants to continue doing research.
"We are going to start talking to other security companies to find out how they operate," she said.

No guns, no way. Something like Downtown has that's fine.
Terry Christian on November 6, 2013 at 10:54 am
Two year residents complaining about gentrification and displacement give me a headache. First rule is always do no harm, but if you're a new resident who doesnt want the community to change, you have to realize you're part of the problem, right? Moving is a good first step and something you can actually control
At the end of the day, lefties strive to create some reality where they get to pick and choose who gets to live in a neighborhood. Thats just not the way it works; and frankly it shouldnt. The fact that one of organizers is a local business owner and woman of color wont change their POV, Im sure.
Despite all the talk about "community," certain lefties will only be satisfied until they get their way. They cannot imagine that actual community sentiment could be different than their own desires. They will not accept anything they do not ideologically agree with, not even as an experiment. They will keep carping about "the community" not being heard when it's really "Im not getting my way."

Would you mind being a little more specific?
Emi Kane on November 6, 2013 at 3:23 pm
I am the 2 year resident of Temescal who is quoted in the article. While you don't actually know much about me, it is quite true that I've only lived in this neighborhood for a few years, and it's also true that we have lifetime and long-term residents who also have concerns about patrols. Our meeting is open to everyone, regardless of your opinion on the patrols, how long you've lived in the neighborhood, or where you land on the political spectrum. If you feel strongly about this issue and live here, then please join the next meeting to discuss community safety and what we can do as a neighborhood to address how we are ALL part of the changes taking place here. We'd love to have you in the conversation. Here's language from our flyer:
What does community safety mean to you?
Our neighborhood is alive and changing. These changes mean different things to different people. What do they mean for you and your family? What do they mean for your neighbors? What do these changes mean for community safety? Do you feel safe where you live? Do you think it is possible to build a neighborhood and city that considers the safety of all people?
Please join North Oakland residents at an upcoming event on November 12th to discuss these questions. Meet your neighbors, engage in dialogue around community safety, and hear diverse perspectives on the matter. ALL are welcome.
This is our honest attempt at creating space for respectful dialogue. We hope to see you there.

What data do you have to back up that there is (involuntary) displacement in Temescal and that gentrification is "accelerating?" No, not a few anecdotes; no, not your ideological structural conception of how housing markets work; but, rather, actual data about neighborhood composition, relatively recent changes and the impact of these changes on those who have left. Id even take proxies, like Ellis Act evictions. What I wont abide is justifying major policy intervention based on "feelings" about "changes." What does that even mean? When have things not been changing?
Not everyone who leaves a neighborhood, not even poor people, are necessary unhappy when they do. I know its hard to imagine that anyone would voluntarily leave a paradise like Oakland, but it does happen.
Also, have you "checked in" with your own complicity here? Who lived where you moved into, where did they go, were they happy they left? Are you part of the problem? If so, why remain?
John on November 7, 2013 at 10:51 am
Terry, I was at that meeting and it was the pro-patrols people who were "picking and choosing who lives in the neighborhood." I heard Ellen Kim say loud and clear, about patrols, "they see what's not right, what doesn't make sense, what doesn't fit." It was pretty obvious that she meant "who."
Moreover, it seems like the "major policy intervention" based on "feelings" is that people in the neighborhood "feel" they are in danger because there are muggings and robberies. These things, it must be acknowledged, are somewhat normal parts of living in a city, especially a city where there are some very rich residents moving into areas that were previously poorer. Census data show that between 2000 and 2010 the ZIP containing Temescal (but extending west of the freeway as well) lost a little over 10% of its black residents. This ZIP has an estimated Gini Coefficient (the existence of this measure at the ZIP level was news to me too) of .47, a little more unequal than Mexico, but this only measures income, while we know that African-Americans and Latinos in the US have only a tiny fraction of accumulated wealth and the housing crisis essentially destroyed the earnings of a generation.
At the tract level, the tracts east of the Grove Shafter (the original color line, if you look at the HOLC maps from 1936), lost about 10% of their black residents and gained about 10% white residents. Again this is up to 2010, and without a doubt 2012 numbers would be greater, but ACS estimates get rough at the tract level. On the west side the numbers were actually greater, and foreclosure data from the Code for Oakland data portal show extreme concentrations of foreclosures west of the freeway. We know from qualitative research that Oakland was hit hard by predatory lending and bogus refinancing, not "buying too much house." I would like better data to give you but I don't have it right at hand.
The fact is that east of the freeway is already a fairly well-established upper-middle class area, plurality and becoming majority non-Hispanic white, having gentrified some time ago, while the action is now in the Longfellow and Hoover-Foster. This doesn't mean that Temescal residents are just a group of angels who are being invaded by bad outsiders. But they are sending a clear message about the race and class status of who belongs in the neighborhood, and backing it up with manpower. I and many people attending the meeting think this is a problem.
Apologies, the ZIP lost a little over a quarter of its black residents, their percentage of total population decreased by roughly 10%. Nothing approaching the hemorrhage of Longfellow and West Oakland.
Ciaran on November 6, 2013 at 3:40 pm
Seems pretty straightforward.
Kim wants something short term, Kane wants long term. Surely they can complement each other….?

Seamus on November 26, 2013 at 6:10 am
It's difficult to discuss because of statistics and people's feelings.
I'm seeing some worrying apologetics for violent crime. "normal parts of living in a city."
It would appear to be a normal part of living in the robbery capital of the US — no easy job with some pretty stiff competition from Cleveland and Detroit. I think unacceptable levels have been achieved in the robbery dept. I also don't think private security patrols are an inordinate response, nor oppressive. BUT, …
How do we reduce danger from muggers without turning into Walnut Creek??
Question for the oracles, apparently.
Sarg on December 6, 2013 at 3:03 pm
I own a hose in Temescal (and no, I am not white) and at the beginning of this year, two individuals jumped out of a car at 6:30pm, at the corner of Manilla and 41st, put a gun to my head, stuck their hands in my pockets and took my backpack, money, etc. No I was not on my phone and I was raised in a monstrous city so I think I know a thing or two about being safe and preventing muggings. A month later, while at dinner out for 2 hours, I came back home to a completely ransacked house with lots of belongings missing. After having to deal with my employer scratching its head and wondering how two company laptops got taken in a month – and having to worry about whether I would still have a job to pay my mortgage or not- I am left thinking that something needs to be done. I'll be the first to admit I don't know what, but something. It is absurd to read that 333 violent incidents have happened within a ONE block radius in 4 months and to read that some folks think this is part of "city living". Again, born and raised at one of the most violent cities in the world and I still never saw stats like this. I've been to some of these meetings and I'm sorry to say it seems like folks are so polarized in their approach, neither side really sounding too common sensical. Any other toughs/options floating around? Would love to hear some short and long term ideas.

I feel much safer in Rockridge now with the few patrols I see, and I've seen them stop someone from taking purses set to someones side. Go to most third world nations, and you'll see security at almost every store, and often get frisked to go the mall. It does not bother the locals there…why does it bother us? You have a basic right to personal safety, and having local guards improves safety.
Birdie on June 17, 2014 at 7:26 pm
Let's admit it. Parts of Bay Area and the USA resemble third world class polarization and I've spent enough time in the philippines where private security I'd the norm at gas stations, 7-11s, malls, etc. I have no problems with private security since neighbors often don't know each other in their neighborhoods like in the philippines. The thieves will just go to other neighborhoods where there will be less resistance and patrols.

The monthly art crawl of downtown Wilmington galleries and art shows is this weekend, and the March edition of Fourth Friday includes mixed media works by Jamie J. Tilley at Acme Art, colorful spring paintings by Kay Billisoly at the Burgwin-Wright House and a dual exhibit featuring ink on paper by Bob Bryden and black-and-white photography by Harold Hodges at Art in Bloom. But the most fascinating attraction might be the new "cosmic chamber" at Expo 216, part of its "Death and Dying" exhibition. A mirror-paneled chamber outfitted with thousands of LED lights, the cosmic chamber is meant to recreate a near-death experience, something you (hopefully) won't find anywhere else on a Friday night downtown. Details: 6-9 p.m. March 23 at various downtown Wilmington galleries, many of which provide refreshments. For a complete list of participating venues, go to ArtsCouncilOfWilmington.org.


New Manchester United duo Angel di Maria and Marcos Rojo have chosen a surprising method to help them settle into life at their new club - by watching British soap opera Coronation Street.
The pair arrived at Old Trafford over the summer, with Di Maria becoming the most expensive player in British football history following his switch from Real Madrid.
Rojo set Manchester United back a further £18 million as they went about splashing around £150 million on six new players in the summer transfer window. Earlier this season Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal confirmed that he hoped his new players would be able to speak English within the next 12 months.
It seems some are taking it more seriously than others, with the Mirror reporting that Di Maria and Rojo have turned to television in order to understand their new team-mates.
In particular they hope that Coronation Street, a soap set in the fictional Manchester town of Weatherfield, in order to understand the local accent.
There may be a slight problem with the plan however - there are only a small handful of Manucnian players in the Old Trafford dressing room, with Spanish seemingly the dominant language.
Di Maria, Rojo, Juan Mata, David de Gea, Radamel Falcao, Ander Herrera all speak the language, although Van Gaal, who is multilingual, is adamant that they will all be speaking English sooner rather than later.
"You know already that all the Spanish players have lessons in English so we have started already more than two weeks,' he said back in September.
'We are only two weeks in this country because we were in the USA and after that we had the international week. But I can speak Spanish so it is better to communicate sometimes on the pitch in Spanish.
Despite the lack of communication things are starting to look a little better for Manchester United after back-to-back Premier League victories..
They claimed a tight win over West Ham two weeks ago before seeing off Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday. Those wins move them up to 4th place in the Premier League, with a showdown against West Brom to come after the international break.

Always Leave Them Laughing is a 1949 musical comedy-drama film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Milton Berle and Virginia Mayo.

Plot
Unoriginal comic Kip Cooper meets aspiring showgirl Fay Washburn at a second rate hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey, where he does his act in exchange for room and board. Kip gets a job as an emcee in a tough New York joint but he fails again. He takes a small part in the chorus of a Broadway show, but tells Fay and her ex-vaudevillian parents that he was hired as the lead. The Washburns attend on opening night and Kip, trying to stand out, does an impromptu gag that gets him fired.

Fay joins the chorus of big-time comedian Eddie Eagen's touring show. When Eagen is sidelined by a heart attack, Kip is hired to temporarily replace him, since he knows Eagen's routines by heart. Kip is a hit in the out of town tryouts, but also takes too much interest in his co-star, Nancy, who happens to be Eddie's beautiful and much younger wife. Eagen recovers and is scheduled to headline the show when it opens in New York. On his last night as the lead, Kip encourages Eagen to join him on stage for a song and dance routine. Eagen collapses and dies. Nancy offers Kip the chance to step in completely — on stage and off — but he rejects her and re-examines his life and career. Kip becomes a big TV star, but what he wants most is for Fay to take him back.

Cast
 Milton Berle as Kipling Cooper
 Virginia Mayo as Nancy Eagen (singing voice was dubbed by Bonnie Lou Williams)
 Ruth Roman as Fay Washburn (singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Erwin)
 Bert Lahr as Eddie Eagen
 Alan Hale, Sr. as Sam Washburn
 Iris Adrian as Julie Adams
 Mary Castle as showgirl (uncredited)

Production
This film, whose working title was "The Thief of Broadway", was originally intended for Danny Kaye. Berle, the most popular performer on television at the time, signed for $75,000 and a percentage of the profits. Berle had a reputation for stealing jokes, although he told the New York Times that it was he who started the rumor during a feud with comedian Richie Craig Jr. that was designed "to keep their names in the newspapers." Production began on July 18, 1949, when Berle's TV show was on hiatus. Audrey Meadows was tested for a lead role. Two sketches — "The Tank," where a fountain pen is demonstrated under water, and "Noises on the Street" — were purchased from the 1948 Broadway revue "Make Mine Manhattan" for the film. The film wrapped in mid-September and prepared for a mid-November released.

Reception
The Hollywood Reporter called the film "the comedy riot of year," and said Berle's "slapstick is superb, and the serious moments show fine acting style." Variety thought the "laugh sequences all click with the exception of the fountain pen sketch." However, Bosley Crowther of the New York Times complained that the producers have "latched onto a comic who, for all his bow-wow on TV, was never regarded or displayed as a screen performer of class. Nor even of charm, for that matter." Crowther thought that the film "shows no more originality than one of Mr. Berle's adopted gags. The people who wrote the screenplay must have subjected their brains to the lowest rate of taxation that has been put upon brains in years." Crowther summed up, "television (and Mr. Berle) should be left to homes and bars." Newsweek said that Bert Lahr, "even in his relatively small part...succeeds in pointing out the difference between comic genius of the old school and Berle's ubiquitous but largely imitative talent."

Small scale has the potential to be a significant source of new demand in coming years. Applications such as bunkering, motor fuels and small scale generation all have the potential to increase demand for LNG.
1. How do you see small-scale developing as a means to unlock new demand in emerging markets?
Small scale has the potential to be a significant source of new demand in coming years. Applications such as bunkering, motor fuels and small scale generation all have the potential to increase demand for LNG. That said, it will take some time before these new applications combine to boost overall demand substantially.
2. How competitive is LNG in the fuel mix and will we see an increase in the use of LNG to Power in the coming years?
3. What role do you see gas having in the next 5-10 years and what will be the relationship between gas and renewables?
particularly in markets where gas can displace coal in generation.
it tends to run whenever the conditions are right, and that can displace natural gas generation.

What will the bedroom of the future look like?
Humans have come a long way from having to sleep on piles of leaves or animal skins on the floor, and with NASA technology coming to the bedroom in the form of memory foam, you could be forgiven for thinking that the humble bed can't get much more advanced.
However, bed technology is far more than hitting the snooze button, and beds of the future could be substantially different to what we know today.
This might sound like taking the phrase 'drifting off to sleep' a little too literally, but floating beds could well be found in many bedrooms in the future, and there is method behind the madness.
Beds could be made that could float up to the ceiling in order to be stored away, making more space in the room below. They could even lift up to reveal a gym bench underneath, meaning that bed space can double as a workout venue.
In all honesty, how many of us can say that we clean our mattress regularly? We're not judging, and soon you might not have to worry anyway, because mattresses of the future may well clean themselves.
On average, a mattress weighs about 30% more after 10 years than it did when you first bought it. Slightly disturbingly, that weight is mostly dead skin, dust mites and other debris.
Mattresses of the future may well be able to sterilise themselves by using technology similar to that seen in a modern vacuum cleaner, meaning you are no longer sleeping on top of dust and dirt every night.
Do you ever get frustrated when trying to balance your body temperature in bed, with one leg sticking out of the duvet and the other one under it?
Beds of the future may be able to monitor the temperature in the room and control the air conditioning, to try and create the perfect temperature for you. It could also be possible to change the temperature of the duvet or pillow, meaning you can always have the cold side if you want.
Furthermore, beds could even feature sleep tracking, monitoring your heart rate and other vital signs, so that if anything goes awry during the night, you or your sleeping partner will know about it straight away.
This might not sound very glamorous or futuristic, but cardboard beds could well be a common sight in the future.
Eco-friendly, easily transportable and cheap, flat-pack kits of recycled cardboard have already been used to make beds that can support the weight of up to 20 people.
Ideal for those who are on a budget or move house a lot, a cardboard box might just be the surprising way of getting a great night's sleep.
Everyone dreams about sleeping under the stars, but often the romance of the idea doesn't convert to a good night's sleep.
However, beds of the future could come with built-in screens and speakers above the sleeper, which can project anything from films and social media right through to an accurate representation of the night sky outside.
This means you can gaze at the changing constellations above whilst also enjoying the comfort of your own bed. It's ideal for the intrepid explorer who likes a bit of pampering too.
Again, this might sound unnecessary, but light-up pillows really could improve how you feel after a night's sleep.
These pillows can be made to gradually illuminate at a set time, and this steady increase in light will help to wake you up gradually by interacting with your body's sleep-wake cycle, which responds to changing light.
Then, even when it's dark and cold outside in the winter, your body can still be convinced that the sun has risen and it's time to start the day.

The Rali Bro Cader proved to be a short but highly demanding rally, it gave a maiden win to Telor Pugh; Michael Gilbey navigated the Dovey Valley driver to victory. The pair were fastest by one second on the test that opened proceedings and they led for the rest of the night to win by over a minute.
Kevin Kerr/Max Freeman came within four seconds of the lead after a run through the Dolgellau Maze but were slowed after that by running first car on the road and fell behind Gavin Wyn Edwards/Cadog Davies by the end and finished third.
