Readers:
If you haven’t noticed this yet, please be aware that the Japanese Web Vendor – cdjapan.co.jp – has made a decision to no longer sell idol videos. So none of the links to the cdjapan web pages that offer the DVDs that I have reviewed work.
In fact, if you were to Google, these same DVDs, none of the links posted on Google that link back to specific idol DVDs once offered by cdjapan, are functional at this time. All you will get is a re-direct to a page that will inform you that: No items were found that match your query.
Since I had a link back to cdjapan for most of the idol reviews that I have published, eventually all of those links will be deleted, but in the meantime, simply don’t click those links because they will not produce any useful results.

Since water constitutes about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface and is essential to all known forms of life, it is a safe bet to assume that if you are reading this you have access to water on a daily basis and you likely live near a body of water. Given that many of you live near a coast, it is no surprise for me to tell you that man has had and likely will always have a fascination about what lies on the opposite shore.

The recent tragic news from Mumbai, formerly Bombay, regarding the terrorists attacks, has again turned my thoughts toward the world’s largest democracy. Apropos of Bombay, long ago, Rudyard Kipling, the British writer, who was born in Bombay wrote:
Mother of Cities to me,
For I was born in her gate,
Between the palms and the sea,
Where the world-end steamers wait.
So Bombay was not only Kipling’s birthplace, but was also the port of entry for most of the Europeans who emigrated to India in the times when one traveled to India by ship. Bombay Gate, likely where those steamers Kipling refers to made port, is just steps from the stately and regal Taj Mahal Hotel which was a target of those recent attacks. More

As you know, noted actor Paul Newman passed away recently. Newman had been married to actress Joanne Woodward from January 1958 until he died.
They weren’t your standard version of a Hollywood couple. In fact, at the time of his death, they had lived in Connecticut for many years.

To state the obvious, yesterday was the last day of the month — the 28th! And this event, a month ending on the 28th, is the norm for February for three out of every four years. Somehow that 29th day, in the year when it happened, came to be called Leap Year. Anyone know why?

We are going to sneak in a few days early because Sunday the 4th is the NFL’s Super Bowl. It is entirely conceivable that you will not be bringing your full attention to my column on that day, and why should you? I’ll be watching the game myself.
Our video reviews generally are from spots all over the globe. But sometimes the best trip is the one you don’t take. Staying home can be as thrilling as anything you could imagine. You betcha!
Alfred Hitchcock, the famed suspense movie director, had far beyond the minimum levels of imagination. Many of his dreams became motion pictures, and many of those have been loved by multiple generations of film-goers worldwide. Plenty of you are familiar with his works. Your grandparents may have seen his films in theaters when they were dating 50 years ago. Or maybe you caught some of them on TV.
