A by-election is held in a particular House of Representatives electorate whenever a vacancy occurs. This may occur when:
- A member dies. This last occurred in 2001 in the Victorian electorate of Aston following the death of Peter Nugent.
- A member resigns. This may occur because a member wishes to retire or has been appointed to a government or non-government post.
Resignations are covered by Section 37 of the Constitution which states: "A member may by writing addressed to the Speaker, or to the Governor- General if there is no Speaker or if the Speaker is absent from the Commonwealth, resign his place, which there-upon shall become vacant.
- A member is absent. Section 38 of the Constitution states: "The place of a member shall become vacant if for two consecutive months of any session of the Parliament he, without the permission of the House, fails to attend the House." This has never occurred in the House of Representatives.
- A member is expelled by the House of Representatives.

I'm really exposing myself with some of the stuff I did here. I think this book ties for the record of "Cover Attempts For A Book' with something I did about 15 years ago called Scream Queens of the Dead Sea for Four Walls Eight Windows (now defunct) where I did something like 17 versions of the goddamn thing, only with them I was somewhat compelled to come up with this pile-of-poop, which was ridiculous since I had some really great ideas, really. I swear, if I find those comps I'll post them, they're probably on some Zip Drive disk or Syquest or something. Anyway, for Publish This Book, there were some good ideas here, funny ideas. No likey.

The Technology of the Internet
It was only a few decades ago that the world was unaware of the terminology 'Internet'. Today, there is virtually no literate human household that may be devoid of this facility. The internet has become such a norm that the mere existence of man at a certain place without having been connected to the internet is though impossible.
About (2011) defines the internet as:
"The term Internet today refers to the global network of public computers running Internet Protocol. The Internet supports the public WWW and many special-purpose client/server software systems. Internet technology also supports many private corporate intranets and private home LANs." (about, 2011)
The human society has been transformed completely with the advent of the internet. Human life before it was devoid of the thought of staying virtually connected to innumerable individuals just by getting connected to a network of computers that was nothing more than an obscure network of corporate computers just about a quarter of a century back.
Though it started off merely as a very small scale office network today the internet is the biggest network of connected computing devices from all over the world that has ever existed. This network is a massive den of information. This information may be related to just about anything and everything. It is an open network and the more users get connected to it via their connecting device the wider it becomes. The connecting devices may either be as small as a mobile phone and may even be as large as a super server computer. Any user can add just about any kind of information over the internet. Only information gathered from reliable resources is authentic and may be referred to others further on.
Isao Hiroki mentions internet in his paper in the following words:
"The virtual space of the internet permeates our daily lives and countless new services." (Hiroki, 2003)
For all students and inquisitive learners the internet is an ideal resource. This is because they can find out information regarding just about any of their topics from the internet. All they need to do id to search for the required topic by entering its' prominent words in efficient search engines. These search engines dig throughout authentic (spyware free) web pages and bring out their links as a result. The user can then make use of the massive data retrieval that is at his disposal with the additive advantage of it being free of cost. Evan Charles Sveum (July 2010) mentions Computing and Internet Technology in the following words:
"Computing and Internet technologies (U.S. Department of Labor, 2000) have changed the nature of work and occupations that would allow a person to earn a living." (Sveum, 2010)
The above statement narrates the fact that internet based jobs have been very popular among the public since internet technology has emerged. Besides that the availability of other jobs can also be checked via the internet as many vendors propagate the availability of jobs at their sites via it. Many people can now earn a living by earning over the internet in the form of e-business, writing blogs etc.

Love this! Easy to apply, streak free and a bottle lasts for ages! But best thing of all is there's no more dirty bed sheets from having to leave it on overnight! Genius invention from Fake Bake! Well done!
Naomi, N.I.
This product is absolutely Divine! (Super quick delivery from feelunique too ) it smells beautiful, very tropical and a slight hint of baileys in there. Very light mist with a nice colour guide not like most self tanners with the scarily looking green guide. I left mine on for 3 hours and rinsed with only water. (I only tanned my arms for work)
Rachel, United Kingdom
Don't be afraid to leave on for 3 hours its not a scary dark tan just very natural looking and healthy. I love this product!
The colour is lovely, dries really quickly and is streak free.
Karen, lanarkshire
Love this fake tan, it applies really easily and smells gorge. Left me looking all bronzed and it doesn't streak at all. Cheapest price is on feelunique so i'll definitely be buying from them again!
Dani, UK
I've tried plenty of different fake tans and this is by far the best. It gives a gorgeous, even tan that is so natural looking. It dries quickly as well so no awkward flapping about waiting for it to dry. It smells so lovely as well.
Danielle, Liverpool
Absolutely brilliant! It was my first time using fake tan and I found the application an absolute breeze. It left me with no streaks and a lovely brown natural tan. No orange!! I will definitely be purchasing another one from feelunique and you can't argue with the price.
Natasha, UK
The colour is gorgeous and it dries pretty much immediately with no streaking . It smells fine - not at all fake tanny !
Ally cutler, Uk
Such a good product for a general all over tan and perfect for a last minute night out.
Natasha Faulkner, Warrington

Another One: Beyoncé's "Dance For You" Video
By Patrice Evans onSo if you didn't eat enough for Thanksgiving, here's another Beyoncé video to stuff in your belly somewhere (is this the seventh video this year? No. 9? No. 9 million? I've lost track). The song's called "Dance For You," which is on the deluxe edition of her album, 4, and the video sort of looks like Sin City: Beyoncé, except in a classic noir-style twist the video is not sexy and has no sexy dancing at all. Haha. Kidding! It's all sexy and has lots of sexy dancing. No surprises!
I'm not sure what your current appetite for Beyoncé is — I feel nauseous-and-pregnant full at the moment — but I'd say with this clip, and the overall volume of her recent output, she's drifting dangerously close to self-parody.
Yet on the other hand, in the video's Youtube comments someone wishes they were a chair. Which I can appreciate the sentiment. But, awww, what happens when your one big wish in life is granted and now Beyoncé is grinding her hips all over you. Yay! Unfortunately, now, you're a chair. Oh no! Worse still: after the sexy dancing comes the pregnant mommy farts. And Beyoncé has to leave so as not to be associated with bad smells. AGGHHH. WHAT DID I WISH FOR??!?!?! I bet this guy didn't think that far ahead. And now you're a used-up chair that smells like dance-sweat and farts who no one cares about anymore. Sad face.
But even if this video is a little blah, and we suffer from Beyoncé overload during the holidays and get turned off (a la Lady Gaga), she still has the great big baby trump card to play which will eradicate haters and temporarily replenish all her karmic life-energy force like a magical elixir in a video game I don't play. So this is fine for a holding pattern. It's sort of like missionary position for sexy music videos. Fine, sexy, yes, grind grind, is good. Thank you. Cheers.

» Best Credit Card
How do I choose the Best Credit Card for me?
Today's consumers are presented with a wide array of credit card choices -- cards with low annual percentage rates, cards with no annual fees, rebate cards, gold cards, platinum cards, etc. So, how do you choose the right card?Here are some factors to consider:
Your Credit History: This is the most important factor in determining whether or not you will receive a credit card. If you have excellent credit, it is likely you will be approved for any credit card you apply for. But if your credit is 'so-so', or poor, you must be more careful in your credit card selection.
Platinum, Titanium, Gold, or Classic?
As a rule of thumb, Platinum and Titanium cards are normally reserved for individuals with excellent credit. If you have good credit, you may be able to qualify for these offers, but you are more likely to be approved for a Gold or Classic card. With increasing levels of status, individuals receive increased benefits such as and higher credit limits and lower APR's.
Secured vs. Unsecured
For individuals with poor credit, or no credit, several types of credit cards are available. These cards are an effective way to establish and improve your credit history. Secured credit cards are available to most individuals. They require a security deposit (normally between $150 and $300) to receive approval. Unsecured credit cards, on the other hand, do not require a security deposit. Both normally have higher rates and additional fees as compared to standard cards.
Prepaid cards are also available as an alternative for those with poor credit. They operate on a 'pay as you go' basis and boast Guaranteed Approval!
Tip: Apply for an unsecured credit card first!
Your Spending Habits: When choosing a credit card, consider how your will use the card. Will you pay off the outstanding balance in full each month, or will you carry a balance? If you carry a balance, you'll probably be more interested in a low APR credit card. On the other hand, if you always pay your monthly bill in full, and reward offers such as frequent flyer miles don't interest you, your best choice may be a card that has no annual fee and offers a longer grace period.
Your Specific Interests: Do you do significant amounts of traveling, use a specific brand/service, or shop at a specific chain of retail stores? Many credit card issuers will allow you to earn rewards for your devoted service.
Travelers: If you are a frequent traveler, many companies allow you to earn bonuses to benefit you. Frequent Flyer cards also known as travel reward cards allow individuals to earn free air travel with every purchase. Other offers such as gas credit cards allow you to earn free gasoline, or earn credit towards automobile purchases. Shoppers: If you are a frequent shopper, or prefer a certain retail store or brand of products, many companies allow you to earn cash rebates when you make purchases. Cash Rebate also known as cash back credit card offers allow individuals to earn cash back on all purchases made. In some cases, they offer increased incentives for purchases on certain products or brands.
Below you will find a sample of the best credit cards available in the industry today.

ABSTRACT- Integrin molecules are cell surface adhesion receptors which form a family of heterodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins. Integrins facilitate attachment of cells to the extra-cellular matrix (ECM), often binding the RGD tri-peptide motif, thus facilitating cell migration, mediating cell-cell adhesion, linking the ECM with cytoskeletal elements, and acting as signaling molecules. Adhesion activates signaling mechanisms that regulate integrin function, cytoskeletal assembly, cell behavior, and protein synthesis. Evidence for the presence of integrin or integrin-like molecules on the surface of oocytes has been found in many species, including hamsters, humans, mice, pigs and cattle. The present study was conducted to determine the presence of specific integrin subunits on the bovine oocyte. Immunofluorescence was used to determine the presence of integrin and subunits on the surface of bovine oocytes using a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for L, M, X, V, 2, 4, 6, 1, 2, and 3. Zonae were removed from IVM bovine oocytes and the denuded oocytes were incubated with each of the primary antibodies, washed, and then labeled with secondary antibody. Oocytes were then washed again and imaged using a confocal microscope to detect specific fluorescence of any integrin subunits present on the plasma membrane. Confocal microscopy indicated the presence of 2, 4, 6, V, 1, and 3 integrin subunits on the plasma membrane of bovine oocytes. Individual subunits were detected using different mAbs directed against the same subunit to provide greater certainty of the presence of each integrin subunit. The ability of a common integrin-binding motif (RGD) to mediate intracellular calcium transients and parthenogenetic development to blastocyst in bovine oocytes has been previously demonstrated. The presence of these integrin subunits on the oocyte vitelline membrane supports the hypothesis that sperm-oocyte interactions in the bovine are mediated by integrins. Further characterization of these integrin subunits and any specific interactions they have with sperm is ongoing.
KEY WORDS: oocyte , fertilization, integrin, bovine

Illustration for charity exhibition in aid of Wood St Mission in Manchester.
- Manchester and Salford Illustrated
In aid of Wood St. Mission. - This is my submission to Manchester and Salford Illustrated.Manchester and Salford Illustrated is a showcase of the very best commercial artists and illustrators in the area and has been created to raise funds and awareness for Manchester based charity, Wood Street Mission. The brief was based on the question, "What does Manchester mean to you?"
- The rationale to my piece is as follows:
"The history of my home town, Manchester, has always fascinated me, and it becomes even more fascinating when one is made aware of the city's role in the development of the nation and the world as a whole.
Manchester's story is deeply intertwined with industry and scientific innovation, most noticeably from the time of the industrial revolution, and this is evident in the buildings, bridges, archways, railways and canals that permeate the city.
The cotton mills , powered by steam for the first time, played a huge role in the city's rebirth as the first industrial metropolis, and the canals and railways, which were new innovations at the time, aided this process.
In the following years, Manchester's scientific community was elemental in key discoveries which changed the course of history. John Dalton's atomic theory was the forerunner of modern medicine, Ernest Rutherford discovered how to split the atom at Manchester University, and the most significant development in recent history, the first programmable computer, was also developed here in Manchester.
As an illustrator I am interested in shapes, patterns and textures. For this piece I decided to focus on the shapes, symbols and repeating patterns that portray the innovations, architecture and science that I described above.
I have combined threads of cotton, warehouse windows, cogs and wheels, railway tracks and early chemical symbols to create what could be likened to a modern version of a Manchester coat of arms, in the centre of which is a new version of the Lancashire red rose."

Dalziel and Pascoe: Child's Play
The ninth feature-length episode in the British mystery series Dalziel and Pascoe, "Child's Play" is set, as usual, in Yorkshire, the home and workplace of weary, aging police detective Andy Dalziel (Warren Clarke) and his young, eager-beaver partner, Peter Pascoe (Colin Buchanan). The case at hand involves a middle-aged man who shows up uninvited at the funeral of a much-hated local dowager, claiming to be the dead woman's long-lost son (lost for fifty years, in fact) -- and the sole heir to her fortune. Meanwhile, Dalziel and Pascoe's colleague Sgt. Wield (David Royle),a closeted homosexual who keeps his preferences secret for fear of being dismissed, is plagued by a blackmailer. These two plot streams converge into one when murder rears its ugly head. Originally telecast as single, two-hour special in the U.K., Dalziel and Pascoe: Child's Play made its American debut as a two-part miniseres, shown on November 6 and 13, 1998, by the A&E cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jack Hedley of The Anniversary stars as a hardbitten police lieutenant tracking a sadistic sex-killer in this gruesome thriller from splatter-maven Lucio Fulci. The misogynistic script (by Fulci and prolific collaborators Gianfranco Clerici and Vincenzo Mannino) posits a femme-hating psycho (who talks like Donald Duck) slashing beautiful women with a switchblade and a straight-razor because his daughter is in the hospital and will never grow up to be beautiful. Fulci was apparently trying to work in a statement about American competitiveness by making his heroine (Antonella Interlenghi) an aspiring Olympic athlete, and having a killer who is concerned that his daughter will never be "the best," but the point gets lost amidst the buckets of blood and gratuitously kinky sex scenes. Pandering to the lowest common denominator as never before in his career, Fulci showed with this blatant play for the sicko slasher crowd that the days of well-plotted, stylish Italian horror were gone, replaced with the most vicious sort of sexual violence and perversion. Despite all of that, there is one fairly masterful sequence in which the suspect's S&M sex partner learns his identity from a radio broadcast and must untie herself and escape while he sleeps. This scene is tense and nerve-wracking, a high-point of genuine fear amidst a nauseating collage of metal blades slicing female flesh. A shameful piece of work that makes Mario Landi's Giallo a Venezia look positively liberated, it co-stars Renato Rossini, Andrea Occhipinti, and Paolo Malco, with cult figures Alessandra Delli Colli, Daniela Doria, and Barbara Cupisti on the chopping block. Cinematographer Luigi Kuveiller, editor Vincenzo Tomassi, and composer Francesco De Masi have all done better work. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Roger Moore is back as Secret Agent 007, this time on the trail of shipwreck that holds an Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC) for all of the British Naval submarine fleet. Along the way he teams up with the beautiful Melina, played by Carole Bouquet, a maiden out for revenge against a Cuban hitman who killed her father, the head of a British effort to salvage the ATAC. Turns out the hitman was in league with Greek businessman Aris Kristatos (Julian Glover). who's working for the Soviets to attain the Communicator. Together with a drug smuggling rival of Kristatos (played by Topol), Bond and Melina race against time before the keys to all of Britain's missles get in the wrong hands. Richard Maibaum's screenplay has very little to do with the collection of short stories that made up Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only, save for the plotline involving Melina's seeking vengeance for the death of her father. The direction is by John Glen, who'd previously done second unit work on other Bond films and went on to direct four more films in the franchise. For Your Eyes Only eschews the gimmickry and campiness of earlier Roger Moore efforts by concentrating instead on intrigue, save for the campy opening that sees Bond dispatch the dastardly Blofeld in a broad comedic pre-credits scene. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Who Pays the Ferryman? [TV Series]
Created by Michael J. Bird, the British drama series Who Pays the Ferryman? was set on the Mediterranean island of Crete.

In his "search for himself," Haldane was not altogether pleased with what he found -- nor were those islanders whom he'd left behind. The first of the series' eight episodes was telecast on November 7, 1977. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
This TV adaptation of Tennessee Williams' prize-winning play stars Robert Wagner as Brick, a college sports champion who hasn't made it in the real world, and Natalie Wood as Brick's wife Maggie, the sexually frustrated "cat" of the title. Brick and Maggie are staying at the home of Brick's wealthy parents, Big Daddy and Big Mama, as are Brick's successful brother Gooper and Gooper's eternally pregnant wife Mae. Big Daddy (Laurence Olivier) has been seriously ill, thus his offspring are concerned over the size of their inheritance. It has been hinted that Big Daddy will leave his fortune to Brick provided Maggie produces a child, but the marriage has been plagued by Brick's refusal to sleep with his wife, and by a dark secret in Brick's past life that has brought about impotence and alcoholism. The reason for Brick's insecurity is his past friendship with school buddy Skipper, a homosexual who'd committed suicide. Brick believes that Big Daddy is convinced that Brick and Skipper "had sodomy together", and Gooper delights in taunting Brick over this. Big Mama learns that Big Daddy has inoperable cancer, and determines to keep the truth from her husband. She also knows that Brick is Big Daddy's favorite son, thus rejects Gooper's cold-blooded attempts to set up a trusteeship for Big Daddy's estate. In the final scene, Maggie lies to Big Daddy that she is pregnant, and Big Daddy (unaware of his imminent doom) chooses to believe her. Brick will get the estate, and Maggie will hopefully convince her husband to makes theirs a "real" marriage. A made-for-TV production, the 1976 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is more sexually explicit than the censor-ridden 1958 Hollywood version, but isn't quite as strong dramatically despite its powerhouse cast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Brief Encounter
Ignoring the old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," producer Carlo Ponti mounted a TV remake of the 1945 British masterpiece Brief Encounter.

Throughout their relationship, Loren and Burton are plagued by guilt; ultimately, they sacrifice their potential happiness in favor of "the right thing."

Bette Davis plays a wealthy one-eyed widow (complete with designer eye patch) who gathers her sons together once a year to celebrate the death of the husband she detested. Mama Davis couldn't be more castrating if her last name was Bobbitt: Her grown sons (it's been 10 years since daddy died) are essentially weaklings who seem to secretly covet the emotional stranglehold she has over them. When she can't exert her authority of her sons by normal means, Davis blackmails them with her knowledge of the skeletons in their closets -- and in the case of her eldest son, the women's undies in his dresser drawers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

How I Won the War

Add How I Won the War to top of Queue
Among the first of the late 60s anti-war films that reflected growing concern over the Vietnam War, How I Won the War takes a cold, dark look at the Good War, World War II. In adapting Patrick Ryan's 1963 novel, screenwriter Charles Wood and director Richard Lester offered a narrative fractured by characters making side comments to the camera, stylized cinematography, inserts of newsreel war footage, and plenty of absurdist humor and slapstick. Ernest Goodbody (Michael Crawford) is a bumbling British officer who manages to get most of his small company of musketeers killed while on a mission in North Africa to set up a cricket pitch behind enemy lines for officers of the advancing British army. The rest of the company dies in an ensuing campaign in Europe near the war's end, but all of the men continue to march along, appearing as monochromatic ghosts. (Original prints of the film intercut real battle footage tinted to match the color of the soon-to-be ghost soldier. Some prints of the film, including one shown on Turner Classic Movies, present the newsreel shots in black and white, undercutting the stylized touch.) The story is framed as a flashback, with Goodbody relating his version of events to a German officer (Karl Michael Vogler), while the real version of events, demonstrating Goodbody's ineptitude, plays out on screen. Among the supporting players are John Lennon, who had worked with Lester on A Hard Day's Night and Help; Roy Kinnear, a Lester regular, as a fat soldier who is certain his wife is cheating on him; Jack MacGowran as the troop's designated fool, and Michael Hordern as a general almost as oblivious to his suffering men as Goodbody. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

The Secret of Blood Island
This British WWII adventure film concerns a woman trapped in a prisoner of war camp and hidden by her fellow POWs from their Japanese captors. Elaine (Barbara Shelley) is a secret agent whose plane is shot down over the island of Malaya in 1944 by the Japanese. With no other recourse except capture, she enters the POW camp on the island and is hidden by Crewe (Jack Hedley) and his fellow prisoners. The Japanese realize that Elaine must be somewhere on the island, however, and when their search fails to produce her, they suspect that their prisoners know more than they are willing say. So the men are tortured one by one, and eventually a few crack and tell the truth. Elaine is then caught and also tortured. When her inquisitors realize the importance of the information Elaine carries, plans are made to send her to Singapore for interrogation at the hands of experts. The Secret of Blood Island (1965) was one of few features produced by television director Quentin Lawrence. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Of Human Bondage
This third screen adaptation of Somerset Maugham's novel about the destructiveness of sexual obsession stars Laurence Harvey as Philip Carey, a club-footed artist who after two unsuccessful years in Paris decides to pursue a career in medicine instead. During his medical studies he falls in love with a waitress, Mildred Rogers (Kim Novak), who takes advantage of his attraction to her. When Mildred leaves him to marry another man, Philip falls in love with a writer (Siobhan McKenna), who encourages him to complete his studies. Under her tutelage, Philip excels in medical school. But when Mildred returns, pregnant and abandoned by her husband, Philip takes her in and cares for her, breaking off with the kind-hearted writer. Staying with Philip at his flat, Mildred has an affair with his best friend. Confronting her with her indiscretions, Mildred tells Philip how repulsed she is by his club foot and walks out on him. Philip once again throws himself into his studies, passing his examinations and taking an internship at a London hospital. There he hears Mildred has become a cheap prostitute. Philip travels to the brothel where she is living in poverty with her child and takes her under his wing once again. As before, Mildred walks out on Philip, trashing his apartment and taking to the streets. When Philip comes upon her again, he finds that her child has died and she is suffering from the advanced stages of syphilis. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The Crimson Blade
Its the Cavaliers vs. the Copperheads in this costume drama set during the 17th-century British Civil War. Our sympathies are supposed to be with Oliver Cromwell's underground troops--and they are, since the arrogant Cromwell isn't around to comprise his followers' heroism. Lionel Jeffries, loyal to Cromwell, is confounded by his daughter June Thorburn's fidelity to the Throne. Oliver Reed co-stars as Jeffries' right-hand man and June's boyfriend. Crimson Blade does little to clarify the complex issues attending the war, but it delivers the goods in the action department. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Very Edge
This melodramatic tale of a sexual assault on a married woman has a few implausible moments but is believably acted by Anne Heywood as Tracey, the victim, Richard Todd as her husband Lawrence, and Jack Hedley as the man from Scotland Yard sent to track down the violent attacker. Tracey is pregnant and happily married to Lawrence, an architect. She has few cares in the world until the day a maniac breaks into the house, rapes her, and ultimately causes her to miscarry. Tracey falls to pieces and is so affected by the encounter she finds men repulsive, including her husband. Her attitude does not soften with time, and sooner rather than later, her husband takes up with his secretary. But in the meantime, the Scotland Yard detective has still not been able to track down the psychotic rapist, and there is no guarantee that Tracey is safe. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In the French Style
Author Irwin Shaw wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of two of his short stories set in Paris. Christina James (Jean Seberg) is a footloose American girl living in the City of Lights. She becomes involved with Guy (Philippe Forquet), who tells her that he's a student at the University studying engineering, but when they plan a rendezvous at a cheap hotel, he confesses to her that he's really only 16 years old. Christina breaks it off with him and goes through a series of brief and unsatisfying affairs with a variety of men until she meets Walter Beddoes (Stanley Baker), a journalist with an unfortunate appetite for alcohol. Despite the fact his work often forces him to travel abroad on a moment's notice, Christina is deeply in love with Walter, and when her father (Addison James) tries to persuade her to come back to the United States, she refuses, preferring to stay with Walter. In time, Christina realizes that Walter is away from her more often than he's with her, and when she meets John Haislip (James Leo Herlihy), an American doctor vacationing in France, she has to decide if her passion for Walter is more important than her feelings for John, who wants her to come to his home in San Francisco, where he'll always be there for her. In the French Style offered an appropriate role for actress Jean Seberg, who was born in Iowa but found most of her best film roles after she moved to France. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Nine Hours to Rama
This drama follows the nine hours that came before the assassination of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi by a Hindu radical. Naturam Godse (Horst Buchholz), a Brahmin who was rejected for service in the British Army and is horrified by the fighting between Moslem and Hindu fanatics, comes to the conclusion that the only solution to the civil unrest is to kill Gandhi (J.S. Casshyap), believing that the leader's philosophy of non-violence has only fanned the flames of unrest. In love with a married woman, Rani Mahta (Valerie Gearon), Godse spends a guilty afternoon with her as he flashes back on his life of violence and mistreatment; he also pays a call to Sheila (Diane Baker), a prostitute. Meanwhile, as civil unrest flares around him, Ghandi goes about his daily rounds, despite warnings from police chief Gopal Das (Jose Ferrer) that his life is in danger. J.S. Casshyap was a 64-year-old teacher and author before being cast as Gandhi in this, his first film role. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Lawrence of Arabia

Add Lawrence of Arabia to top of Queue
This sweeping, highly literate historical epic covers the Allies' mideastern campaign during World War I as seen through the eyes of the enigmatic T. E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole, in the role that made him a star). After a prologue showing us Lawrence's ultimate fate, we flash back to Cairo in 1917. A bored general staffer, Lawrence talks his way into a transfer to Arabia. Once in the desert, he befriends Sherif Ali Ben El Kharish (Omar Sharif, making one of the most spectacular entrances in movie history) and draws up plans to aid the Arabs in their rebellion against the Turks. No one is ever able to discern Lawrence's motives in this matter: Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness) dismisses him as yet another "desert-loving Englishman," and his British superiors assume that he's either arrogant or mad. Using a combination of diplomacy and bribery, Lawrence unites the rival Arab factions of Feisal and Auda Abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn). After successfully completing his mission, Lawrence becomes an unwitting pawn of the Allies, as represented by Gen. Allenby (Jack Hawkins) and Dryden (Claude Rains), who decide to keep using Lawrence to secure Arab cooperation against the Imperial Powers. While on a spying mission to Deraa, Lawrence is captured and tortured by a sadistic Turkish Bey (Jose Ferrer). In the heat of the next battle, a wild-eyed Lawrence screams "No prisoners!" and fights more ruthlessly than ever. Screenwriters Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson used T. E. Lawrence's own self-published memoir The Seven Pillars of Wisdom as their principal source, although some of the characters are composites, and many of the "historical" incidents are of unconfirmed origin. Two years in the making (you can see O'Toole's weight fluctuate from scene to scene), the movie, lensed in Spain and Jordan, ended up costing a then-staggering $13 million and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The 1962 Royal Premiere in London was virtually the last time that David Lean's director's cut was seen: 20 minutes were edited from the film's general release, and 15 more from the 1971 reissue. This abbreviated version was all that was available for public exhibition until a massive 1989 restoration, at 216 minutes that returned several of Lean's favorite scenes while removing others with which he had never been satisfied. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add The Longest Day to top of Queue
The Longest Day is a mammoth, all-star re-creation of the D-Day invasion, personally orchestrated by Darryl F. Zanuck. Whenever possible, the original locations were utilized, and an all-star international cast impersonates the people involved, from high-ranking officials to ordinary GIs. Each actor speaks in his or her native language with subtitles translating for the benefit of the audience (alternate "takes" were made of each scene with the foreign actors speaking English, but these were seen only during the first network telecast of the film in 1972). The stars are listed alphabetically, with the exception of John Wayne, who as Lt. Colonel Vandervoort gets separate billing. Others in the huge cast include Eddie Albert, Jean-Louis Barrault, Richard Burton, Red Buttons, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Gert Frobe, Curt Jurgens, Peter Lawford, Robert Mitchum, Kenneth More, Edmond O'Brien, Robert Ryan, Jean Servais, Rod Steiger and Robert Wagner. Paul Anka, who wrote the film's title song, shows up as an Army private. Scenes include the Allies parachuting into Ste. Mere Englise, where the paratroopers were mowed down by German bullets; a real-life sequence wherein the German and Allied troops unwittingly march side by side in the dark of night; and a spectacular three-minute overhead shot of the troops fighting and dying in the streets of Quistreham. The last major black-and-white road-show attraction, The Longest Day made millions, enough to recoup some of the cost of 20th Century Fox's concurrently produced Cleopatra. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The series offered three serialized stories, each lasting six half-hour episodes: "The World of Tim Frazier," "The Salinger Affair," and "The Mellin Forrest Myster." Debuting November 15, 1960, the series remained on the air until mid-1961. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Make Mine Mink
Terry-Thomas plays the military-officer head of an amiable gang of amateur British thieves. He is recruited for this task by wealthy dowager Athene Seyler, who merely wants to retrieve stolen minks from genuine crooks. Any profits accrued by this undertaking are to be turned over to charity. Once we're aware that everyone's heart is in the right place, we can laugh freely at the film's collection of would-be reprobates, and vicariously hold out hopes for their success. Best bit: Terry-Thomas, backed by Anton Karas' "Third Man" theme, skulking into what appears to be a waterfront dive to make contact with a "fence," only to discover that he's stumbled into a Salvation Army mission. Make Mine Mink was based on Breath of Spring, a play by Peter Coke. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Virginia Tech-Clemson in-game blog
Well, it was a theme familiar to longtime Tech followers: Defense does enough, offense (and special teams) does not.
But as I noted in my column for tomorrow, this is a program trend but not a 2012 trend. The defense has helped Tech get to 4-4 just as assuredly as the offense has.
"Field position got us a little bit," Frank Beamer said. "And then, to beat Clemson you've got to keep the ball, get some first downs and then get some points out of your possessions. Field position hurt us. But we just need to make a couple plays."
Mike O'Cain on the wideout pass:
"It happened so quick. And any of those things that you call, you don't want to say it's a hope and a prayer. You're basing it on some things that you've done, but they have to play it the way you think they're going to play it. And we really didn't get a good look at it the first time. So we thought it was worth another try. And obviously it didn't pan out. I think sometimes plays like that, they can be really big or they can be really bad. And you've got to take those chances at time.
Tech's off next week before facing Miami a week from Thursday. As always, thanks for stopping by.
Final: Clemson 38, Hokies 17
This one's getting away from the Hokies, as Clemson leads 31-10 after three (Tech is in Clemson territory).
Two huge calls went against Tech — the most egregious to me was when they called Thomas down when he wasn't close to it, negating a completion that would have picked up a first down. The other was a ruling that Sammy Watkins was down before fumbling when it looked like he wasn't. Both big plays.
The offense has to be better than this against a defense that hasn't been very good all year. Tech ran 10 times for 19 yards in the period. The Tigers have given up an average of more than 200 rushing yards per game this year.
Before the game, you'd probably say "could be worse" than to be trailing 17-10 at the half, but the Hokies have to feel like they should be leading as they head to the locker room. A big turnover on special teams, where a Clemson punt glanced off Tech freshman Christian Reeves, set up a short field for Clemson to drive for the go-ahead touchdown.
Thomas has thrown two interceptions, both on high passes. On the second one, Jonathan Meeks returned it 73 yards for a touchdown. Tech got a 40-yard field goal at the end of the half to put the score where it is.
Continue to be puzzled as why Tech's still running four tailbacks out there. To me, you've got to pick two (three if you want to use Scales as a short-yardage back) and just go with it. Just about every tailback in the world will tell you he plays better after he works up a lather. Tech's guys, limited though they may be, aren't getting that chance.
Clemson running back Andre Ellington looks like the best player on the field right now. Containing him might be the biggest challenge of the second half, particularly if Clemson gets the lead up to double figures again and wants to lengthen out the drives a bit.
The defense has held Clemson to 137 total yards. Tech has three sacks on Tajh Boyd. That's impressive. Like I said, "could be worse" doesn't really apply here.
Tech will get the ball first to start the second half.
The Hokies become the first team this year to hold Clemson without a first quarter touchdown and lead 7-3 after one. Perfect start for Tech, which got two sacks on Clemson's first possession, then quickly drove 58 yards on their first possession for a touchdown, capped by a 29-yard pass to Corey Fuller.
Hokies did miss an opportunity late in the quarter, seeing a 15-play drive stall at the Clemson 18 when Michael Holmes was stuffed on fourth-and-1.
Michael Cole's interception — snared while he was on the seat of his pants — was the third time the Cave Spring graduate had contributed to a turnover in the past four quarters. He had a pick and a fumble recovery last week against Duke.
VT—Fuller 29 pass from Thomas (Journell kick), 10:28. Drive: Seven plays, 58 yards, 2:52. Key play: Thomas 3 run on fourth-and-2 to CU 30. Virginia Tech 7, Clemson 0.
CU—FG Catanzaro 27, :00. Drive: 13 plays, 73 yards, 2:55. Key play: Ellington 26 run to VT 12. Virginia Tech 7, Clemson 3.
CU—Boyd 1 run (Catanzaro kick), 9:29. Drive: Six plays, 26 yards, 1:53. Key play: Steward recovers Reeves fumble at VT 26. Clemson 10, Virginia Tech 7.

VT—FG Journell 40, :03. Drive: Nine plays, 52 yards, 3:43. Key play: Fuller 22 pass from Thomas to CU 30. Clemson 17, Virginia Tech 10.
CU—Ellington 12 run (Catanzaro kick), 4:30. Drive: Seven plays, 52 yards, 2:54. Key play: Watkins 27 pass from Boyd to VT 10. Clemson 24, Virginia Tech 10.
CU—Hopkins 37 pass from Boyd (Catanzaro kick), :50. Drive: Three plays, 47 yards, :50. Key play: Humphries 13 punt return to VT 47. Clemson 31, Virginia Tech 10.
VT—Thomas 19 run (Journell kick), 9:52. Drive: Four plays, 61 yards, 1:13. Key play: Holmes 7 run plus 15 facemask penalty to CU 19. Clemson 31, Virginia Tech 17.
CU—Boyd 1 run (Catanzaro kick), 1:33. Drive: Nine plays, 41 yards, 5:22. Key play: Brewer interception to VT 41. Clemson 38, Virginia Tech 17.

Greetings from Clemson, where we're about 2 1/2 hours away from the Hokies and Tigers. The line has been bet down to Clemson by 7.5.
The Tigers are averaging 41 points per game, while the Hokies are giving up 22 a game. Clemson wideout DeAndre Hopkins has logged four 100-yard receiving games.
Clemson's defense is ranked 97th in the country, allowing 445.50 yards per game, including more than 200 rushing a contest.
The usual today: Thoughts after each of the first three quarters, plus a wrap-up post after the game.
Kickoff is noon. Drop by and share your thoughts.

Well, yes, that's why it's not exactly unexpected. ^^
Maybe he should be given a chance to warm up before the fight, just to make it fair.Given what was stated earlier in the thread, he did most of it in his teens. Which means it's that much training, 20 years ago, without refresher.
Suffice to say that by the time he's 34, it's pretty much gone.
"You, Average Man! Eight laps around the Arena, NAO!"
Though more seriously, he's not in bad shape if he can run a mile in 8 minutes. Most 34 year olds who wouldn't be considered to be in a good shape probably wouldn't be able to. It's just that the fighting experience bit is going to do something between jack and squat.

Mark Laita, a fine arts photographer is showcasing his work with snakes in his exhibit "Serpentine" at The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia now through September 22, 2013. Laita went on a worldwide expedition to capture a variety of snakes, from the Malaysia coral snake (Calliophis bivirgatus) to the Honduran milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis) to the black Pakistan cobra (Naja naja karachiensis) in a variety of poses. The collection of 12 images are from his latest book, Serpentine, which he says exhibit's "the sensual attractiveness" of these reptiles.
Laita spent more than a year photographing pythons, pit vipers, coral snakes and other snakes in the care of collectors, breeders, zoos, and venom laboratories. Laita shot each specimen on a black background to showcase their texutres, colorations and markings, and each photograph was taken right after the snake its skin to ensure the colors are at their most vibrant.
"Every time I photograph a snake, I am fascinated by its color and texture, of course, but what interests me most are the sensual forms its movement creates," Laita wrote in the prologue of his newly published book. "It's as if these creatures are—to their core—so inherently beautiful that there is nothing they can do, no position they can take, that fails to be anything but mesmerizing."

"In America majority of poor people do face real problems. No health insurance = you are in big troubles in US. Don't you agree?"
Not compared to the people of Ukraine, for example the poor in California can enroll in a free health insurance program called Medi-Cal, and anyone can go to the county hospital emergency room and receive free treatment, even illegal immigrants. One number gives a pretty clear picture; life expectancy, it's 76 for the US and 65 for Ukraine, with Ukraine falling below such "advanced" nations as Nicaragua for example. I've seen why. For one reason, there is no accountability. Some doctor makes a mistake, so what? There's no malpractice insurance here, and the administration has much more power than an individual, so they can do WHATEVER they want with impunity. The recent scandal about hospitals selling the organs of dead children in Ukraine, is a good example of this. Then you should look at the facilities, most are in buildings that would immediately be condemned and torn down in the US, and they use equipment that is incredibly old, and in some cases dangerous like 40 year old X-ray machines. I've actually seen some hospitals in Ukraine with no heat, yes, and in the winter to. Then consider the medical personnel, SOME are good, knowledgeable and responsible, and some, well, paid for their degree, do you know how to spot the difference? There are little differences that are interesting, for example in Ukraine you ALWAYS bring your own needles, because you want to make sure the doctor or nurse isn't re-using them from someone else, and if you're in the hospital unlike America, you won't have to worry about hospital food – there isn't any, you have to provide your own! Don't let the concept of free health care in Ukraine fool you, there is still money involved here, and lots of people die for lack of cash.
"You won't believe it but here in Ukraine I can't remember when I paid bribe last time, "
You're right, I find it hard to believe, do you have a legally registered company, if so, please tell me how many documents it took and how much time it took to prepare for and receive these documents, and how many bribes you paid
"don't know what middle class you met in Sevastopol, but middle class in Ukraine can afford medical treatment "
The middle class here can't even afford to eat decently, most people in Crimea earn between 100 to 200 USD month. You cannot eat a healthy diet on that amount, let alone have money extra for something else, anything else.
"Russian is the language in most common use in Sevastopol, some (not all) cities of Eastern Ukraine. But it is not in most common use in all over Ukraine. 70% of people living in Ukraine consider Ukrainian their native language"
I have no clue where you get that number from, I've been coming to Ukraine for 10 years, until 2004, I never once heard Ukrainian spoken, now a few speak it in Kiev, show me one person in Ukraine who DOESN'T know Russian. This conversion to Ukrainian language however is the result of government coercion, if you like coercion, then that's fine.
I'm glad you are able to predict the future so precisely that you can so securely state how successful the next generation of Ukrainians will be, I hope you're right, but I'm afraid unlike you, I am unable to write about Ukraine 20 years from now, but must confine myself to the Ukraine of today.
"In the brief history of Crimea you forgot to mention genocide against Tatars when they were deported to Siberia after World War II. One more reason why Crimea lost its population."
I was confining myself to Sevastopol and not the rest of Crimea, Tatars were not living in Sevastopol, and still mainly do not.
