This film has long been considered a classic, yet if the word 'classic' brings with it thoughts of black and white film and old Hollywood story lines , have no fear. From the dirty underbelly of London to the comfortable, luxurious living of the upper classes, My Fair Lady captures all these elements of the city, throwing together different classes, genders and ages to create something quite different from a 'classic' plotline. As a musical as well, it excels in using the songs to move the plot along and to emphasis points within it, compared with recent attempts in this genre in the modern era, where songs are forcibly forced into the story. The film is also a pleasure as it shows the re-emergence of characters which have disappeared from film such as the confirmed bachelor in the form of Professor Higgins. In short, My Fair Lady epitomises the essence of the word classic, that timeless quality which means that the film continues to be powerful, however long it has been since it was first filmed. A truly wonderful film, especially when watching with the older generation, where memories are shared and created at the same time.

Adapted from the 1938 original Broadway musical of the same name which in turn was based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is a 1964 film that ended up walking off with nearly all of the year's Academy Awards.
I'm sure most people are familiar with the storyline of My Fair Lady, but for those who aren't, it is set in Edwardian London, and largely centres around phonetics and language specialist Henry Higgins taking young street flower-seller, Eliza Doolittle, under his wing with the sole intent of turning her into a lady. Initially it was Eliza's cockney London accent that drew forth Henry's interest as he believed he could teach her to speak properly.
Resentful at Henry's aggressive tuition methods, yet wanting to stay with him for the accompanying treats she receives such as lovely clothes and lots of chocolate, Eliza at first makes a terrible fuss each time Henry criticises anything about her, but gradually she allows him to continue his work on her with no more than the occasional mild complaint.
That is the basic outline of the plot and I'm sure most people are familiar with the film to some extent, but if not, you may like to see it for yourself to find out more.
Back in the 1960s when My Fair Lady was all the rage, most people loved and admired the late Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, and it's true to say that she was an extremely pretty woman who is also fondly remembered for many other leading lady roles.
My own personal opinion of the acting style by all concerned in My Fair Lady, particularly that from Audrey Hepburn, is I think somewhat different to most people's. I feel the dialogue of the film races along much too fast in that all of the actors, particularly Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn, speak as if they're trying to imitate a round of shells being fired from a Kalashnikov. As well as speaking too fast for my brain to mostly keep up with, all of the actors shout their way through the film, which for me is a grating, unpleasant experience, and I thus always have to set the volume control to very low.
I can't fault the cast from the aspect of their acting as such, because each person truly became their part, but the whole film would be a lot better if firstly they'd have slowed down their speech quite a bit, secondly lowered their voices to ease up on the decibel levels and thirdly, for Audrey Hepburn to have taken lessons prior to filming in how people with a cockney accent REALLY speak! The accents throughout were absolutely terrible and nothing like true working-class Londoners would have spoken, even back in Edwardian times. Just as an aside....I spent a lot of my formative years around people who were elderly and haled from the East End of London; these people at the time My Fair Lady is set in - approximately 1910-ish - would have been about the age I approximate Eliza Doolittle was supposed to have been, and these people I knew didn't speak anything like that at all. Their accents were almost identical to mine, which isn't dissimilar to the original 1980s cast of the soap East Enders....and my accent bears no resemblance in the slightest to Eliza Doolittle's - nor have I ever heard any Londoner's that does.
To be fair to Audrey Hepburn though, she did act her part well so long as she kept her mouth shut, and Rex Harrison was quite believable as the well-heeled, self-interested, smug, belittling, arrogant Henry Higgins.
I really am not the world's greatest fan of musicals at the best of times as I prefer to watch something that carries me into the world the story is trying to create, and people breaking into riotous song every few minutes removes any existing levels of reality or authenticity for me, but I do quite like to watch a musical when I'm in the mood for something light and undemanding. If any of you are devout fans of musical film/theatre though, I feel certain you'd love this production as it certainly does go to town, tells a story and is something the kids can watch too as aside from one extremely veiled sexual reference contained within, which I'm certain even today's comparatively enlightened under-12s wouldn't pick up on or understand, My Fair Lady is 100% pure innocence.
I must have seen My Fair Lady at least twenty times in my life and when I was very much younger than I now am, I used to enjoy it in a strange sort of way. My own ageing process has laced my preferences with a modicum of discernment, to the point where I feel I can now say that purely for me, the film is nowhere near as good as I once believed. However, despite my feelings for it having changed through the passage of my adult life, I do understand why so many people love My Fair Lady as there's no doubt that it belts out rather than oozes, a high degree of family entertainment value.
The best time for me to watch My Fair Lady, or for anyone whose tastes in films and music is similar to my own, is on Christmas afternoon, whilst relaxing and trying to digest the mountains of roast turkey and Christmas pudding.....that's when it really shines, comes into its own, and presents as a first-class piece of entertainment. At all other times, I prefer to watch something powerful and moving, or darkly humorous.
It may seem that a hefty chunk of what I've said above appears to be overly critical in a negative sense, but My Fair Lady is a musical film which doesn't really hit my spot unless I'm wearing a paper hat from a Christmas cracker, have the top button of my jeans undone, am somewhat mellow from having sunk a couple of bottles of something rather nice and sitting with a bowl of nuts in front of me, smelling that Christmas tree pine needle aroma.
At the time of writing, the DVD of My Fair Lady can be purchased on Amazon as follows:-
New: from £3.50 to £12.66
Used: two copies available at £3.98 and £4.00
Currently, it does appear that My Fair Lady appears in its entirety on YouTube but part 1 has been blanked out. It is difficult to piece the film together as there are quite a few random files claiming to be the full film, yet when clicked into, some are merely clips/snippets. Many other clips/snippets are available to watch and I'd probably not recommend attempting to view the film in full on YouTube as I personally don't believe it's worth the trouble of trying to sort out the haphazardness of the various uploads which claim to be the full film.
It is very difficult for me to give an accurate star rating for My Fair Lady, because although I'm not massively keen on it myself, I can see and understand the appeal it would have across the board and it is a lavish production which is very well put together despite the dodgy accents, rabid dialogue and that infernal "Owwwwww!!" Eliza Doolittle expostulates each time Henry Higgins chastises her. Also, a lot of the songs written for the musical have deservedly become all-time classics. After having given the matter a lot of thought, I've decided to opt for three stars, although I'm not sure how George Bernard Shaw would have felt if he'd been able to see his work tampered with in this way.
Thanks for reading!

I used to always look out for My Fair Lady when it would come on TV, much to the frustration of the rest of my family who don't really go for 'old classic films'. When it last came on I sky plussed it. It taking up a fair chunk of the sky box, so when my sister spotted this on sale in HMV, for the princely sum of £3, she bought it for me in the hope that I would free up some space for her American soaps and be able to watch it on my laptop whenever I wanted!
My Fair Lady is based on the play 'Pygmalion' written by George Bernard Shaw in 1913. The film itself is a musical, with some spectacular songs, and is set in Edwardian London. It tells the story of a young flower girl called Eliza (played by Audrey Hepburn). Eliza sells her flowers in London's Covent Garden but dreams of bettering herself and working in a flower shop.
One evening, after the opera has finished, she is selling her flowers as usual when Henry Higgins (played by Rex Harrison), a phonetician, takes an interest in her and copies down everything she is saying to study later. Eliza becomes angry with this, and on hearing her speak some more with her 'dreadful accent' Higgins laments the English and asks why they can't teach their children how to speak properly. He boasts to the crowd that is gathered outside that in 6 months he could teach Eliza how to speak properly and turn her into a lady. At this point he bumps into an old friend, Colonel Pickering, who he invites to stay with him at his house in London.
The next day Eliza turns up at Higgins' house and asks to be taught to speak properly. Colonel Pickering bets Higgins that he cannot fulfil the boast that he made the previous night and says he will pay for Eliza's lessons. Higgins accepts and Eliza's lessons begin right away. Both Mrs Pearce, the housekeeper and Colonel Pickering express concern about Eliza and say they should find out about her family and think about what's to become of her after the 6 months but Higgins, excited by the challenge, brushes these concerns aside.
Henry boasts that in 6 months he will take Eliza to the Embassy ball and pass her off as a duchess. The story follows Eliza's highs and lows as she is spends hours re-learning to speak. We see the complex relationship develop between Higgins and Eliza and there are songs aplenty along the way. How will Eliza fare and will Higgins be able to live up to his claim and pass Eliza off as a duchess? You'll have to watch to find out!
-*My opinion*-
My Fair Lady has to be one of my favourite films. It's one that I come back to again and again. The story is engaging, witty and raises some interesting issues.
Higgins is quite a brash character and in some ways reminded me of a spoilt child! He judges people by the way they speak and believes that people can better themselves just by speaking a certain way. He even appears frustrated by people's accents and instead of admiring the richness this adds to the English language he seems to think we should all be speaking in the same way. When taking on Eliza as a pupil he had no thoughts for her feelings and welfare but just saw her as a challenge to be fulfilled. It is once Eliza has mastered speaking 'correctly' that we see Higgins naivety, as he believes that his job is done. There is no thought as to Eliza's background and how she would fit into the 'upper class' environment, in terms of etiquette, phrases spoken and topics to talk about, which have hilarious consequences when Eliza is 'tried out' at the races. At times his character was quite cruel and I really disliked him, however as the story develops, he comes to understand Eliza and finds he has a soft spot for her and towards the end of the story I didn't find him so bad.
Colonel Pickering on the other hand is a true gentleman and has a somewhat calming influence on Eliza and Higgins' relationship, often providing the voice of reason.
I thought Eliza played the role really well, although at the beginning her 'cockney?' accent did grate somewhat. I grew up in London and can't say that I've heard anything like it myself! She was charming, witty and head-strong and complemented Higgins' character really well.
There are some very catchy songs in the film including:
- Wouldn't it be loverly (my favourite!)
- I'm getting married in the morning
- The rain in spain
- I could have danced all night
- With a little bit of luck
- On the street where you live
and whenever I watch it I find it hard not to end up singing along - it's a good job I usually watch this on my own!!
The film itself was shot beautifully. The set was realistic and I was quite surprised to learn that initial scenes that take place in Covent Garden were actually filmed on a set and not on location! The film was made in 1964 and in my opinion has stood the test of time. The costumes I thought were elegant and eye-catching, particularly those in the scene at Ascot and at the Embassy ball.
Despite being around 3 hours long, the story is fast paced and at no point did I get bored. The DVD I am reviewing is a special double-disk edition, with the second disc containing bonus features such as interviews with the cast and commentary from the director, which were quite interesting, though I'm not sure I'd watch these again!
Overall I found the film thoroughly enjoyable and in my opinion, this is a timeless classic.
There is nothing finer than spending a cosy afternoon in watching an old musical - and My Fair Lady is one of the more sophisticated ones with its careful costume design (oh - those wonderful black and white costumes at Ascot). Starring Audrey Hepburn (who was dubbed by Marni Nixon for most of the film) as Eliza Dolittle and Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins, this is a tale of someone wanting to better themselves - only to find that they now have no social status anywhere.
Based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmallion, this is an opulent tale of London streets, people so poor that they sell heather to theatre goesr to make ends meet, and the balls and dances of the glittering classes. As I sadi the costumes are wonderful and the sets reminsicant of old time London. Yet at the heart of the film there is, what becomes, a simple love story between someone who doesn't know that he is looking for love and someone who just wants to be needed by someone.
Songs such as "Why Can't the English" and "I could have danced all night" have since passed into musical folklore - as has "Get me to the chuch on time". There have also been many discussion as to the ending - did Henry and Eliza end up together or nor?
Whatever the ending this is one DVD that all muiscal lovers hsould have in their library. It is completely understandable why both hepburn and Harrison won Tony awards for their performances. In case anyone is in any doubt - I love this film and this dvd - go buy it!
I just watched this for this first time in ages at the weekend. And it still holds all the charm it did the first time round. Of course with Audrey Hepburn as the leading lady with balls of steel and little manners it was always going to be good. What makes it though is Rex Harrison trying desperately to squash the common flower girl as he transforms her from street trash to royalty, before realising that it's her brashness that he actually likes as he gets a run for his money.
From the opening chords you know the music will be light but powerful and extremelly funny. From the lament of Wouldn't it be luverly and Eliza dreaming about what she thinks she wants to her belting out Show Me and Hymn to Him showing that she is a powerful force not to be tampered with this movie goes from slum to snobbery in true style.
Okay so rex Harrison speaks rather than sings, and Audrey Hepburn was dubbed, which I reckon cost her the Oscar to Julie Andrews for the incipid Mary Poppins that year.
The film not only charts the rise of a new socialite but also pokes fun at Ascot and the snobbery of the upper class. It's quite ironic that Freddy knocked Eliza down outside the Opera House and later drools over her at Ascot. the songs are fabulous with most of the comedy left to Rex and his continual maning about woman and why he his superior.
But don't forget Eliza's dad. he has two great numbers and shows how fun the working(?) class can be. he takes musical numbers and turns them into spectacles.
The costumes and set are stunning and Audrey hepburn looks amazing when dressed for the ball. The Ascot scene is especially well placed, watch out for the two women dressed the same!!! Horror!!
this film is perfect for a wet afternoon in on the couch. The only down side is the ending which some people don't like. I like to think that the two leads realise that they have met their match and who knows, will marry one day.
All in, it's a great movie, brilliantly restored with some very clever satirical comments that still have a place today. The male chavanism is wonderfully wicked and non PC, but that's the way I like it.
I have have only one questions. You haven't got a copy? 'Move yer bloomin' arse!!!'
A lover-ly film! Everyone should watch this film at least once, pure feel good escapism. Starring the incomparable Audey Hepburn as Eliza Dolittle, a lowly flower girl taken in by Henry Higgins (played by Rex Harrison), a rude and misogynistic phonetics professor with the intention of making her presentable in high society. As a musical the songs play a major role in depicting how the characters feel, most notably Eliza's feelings towards the professor, from Just You Wait Henry Higgins to I Could Have Danced All Night. However, Audrey Hepburn was criticised for not singing the songs herself, and having been dubbed by Marni Nixon. Saying this I can't imagine anyone else playing Eliza (are you listening Keira Knightly?!)
A lovely family film, a true rags to riches fairytale with likeable characters, even Henry Higgins becomes somewhat appealing!
I'll end the review with my favourite quote from the film
Eliza - "The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated"
Based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, My Fair Lady follows Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle as she is taken under the wing of well-to-do vocal expert Henry Higgins. Higgins wagers that he can pass Eliza off as foreign royalty at an extravagant ball and sets to work transforming her speech and manners. Eliza comes to resent Henry's strict rules as he forces her to practice her vowels until she is hoarse and Henry becomes equally frustrated with having to share his bachelor pad with an 'irrational' woman. But, with this being a classic musical, we all know a happy ending must be just around the corner!
This is a wonderful musical with some fantastic songs and beautiful costumes and choreographed scenes. The scene at the racecourse is particularly memorable for the exquisite gowns and hats of the ladies at the races. Audrey Hepburn is charming as ever as rough diamond Eliza Doolittle and Rex Harrison shines as lovable curmudgeon Henry Higgins. It is a great feel-good family movie.
My fair lady is a beautiful and irresistible musical. The dvd version of this film has been expertly restored from the original 1964 film version.
Audrey Hepburn takes the lead in what is a truly lovely story. A cockney flower girl, Eliza, is given the challenge of transforming from an outspoken commoner to a proper lady and taking on this challenge is Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison).
The film is taken from the play 'Pygmalion' and has a loveable quality about it. It is the story of finding out who you are and overcoming the barriers made within social divides.
The film has won 8 academy awards and has touched people hearts everywhere. I personally love the message of overcoming your social status and proving that everyone is someone.
Like any great musical, the film is jam-packed with super catchy tunes that you will be singing for days and days afterwards.
The film is quite dated and not always of the best quality, however if you have never seen my fair lady it is definitely worth seeing and giving it a chance.
This film is suited to people who love musicals and may not be something that everyone will enjoy. If you are looking for a film that has a lot of action and a lot happening then this is not the film you should watch but if you want a fun filled emotional musical with loads of fun catchy tunes and great characters then 'My Fair Lady' is a film you should definitely try watching.
Running Time: 166mins
Certificate: U - suitable for absolutely anyone!
My Fair Lady is my all time favourite musical. I love the story and I love the songs.
My Fair Lady is based in turn on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. It is about a misogynistic professor of phonetics making a wager with his friend, that he can teach any woman to speak properly so much so he can pass her off as a duchess.
The story set in Covent garden where Eliza Doolittle ( played by Audrey Hepburn ) with her strong cockney accent and rough demeanour became the challenge for the professor to transform her.
The lyrics of the songs are mesmerising and it stays in your mind all the time. My favourites are The Rain in Spain, I could have dance all night, wouldn't be loverly, on the street where you live, get me to the church on time and with a little bit of luck.
Everytime I watch the musical, I will remind myself about the correct way of pronounciation.The play with english words can be seen in the phrase" In Hertford, Hereford, Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen" and don't we always try to say with perfection " The Rain in Spain always falls Mainly in the Plain".
the Casts in My Fair Lady-
Eliza Doolitte - Audrey Hepburn
Prof Henry Higgins - Rex Harrison
Colonel Pickering - Wilfred Hyde-White
Alfred Doolittle - Stanley Holloway
My Fair Lady had won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.
My Fair Lady is a legend, a must have DVD at home to watch over and over again.
My Fair Lady is a musical that I really love to watch. It was produced in 1964 and stars Audrey Hepburn in the lead role of Eliza Doolittle but is still an enjoyable watch today.
My Fair Lady is quite simply a rags to riches story whereby Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, is spotted by the supremely assured phoneticist Henry Higgins. The reason behind his noticing of her is her somewhat coarse cockney accent, which does raise quite a few laughs when listening to it. After taking his abuse Eliza later visits Higgins at his home requesting that he teach her to speak properly so as she may own her own flower shop. An argument with his dear friend Colonel Pickering sees Higgins bet that under his tutelage Eliza could be passed off as a Duchess at the Embassy Ball.
The remainder of the film then follows Eliza as she struggles to learn the language of a lady and follows her transformation as she progresses from little more than a street urchin to become a lady of stature. It is now that the real laughs pour in thick and fast as Eliza tries to comprehend what she must learn and how she must behave and Higgins comes to realise the depth of the task he has created for himself.
Now being a musical the songs are of course exceptionally important to the film itself and for me they are truly fantastic and are definitely ones you will remember for a long time. They range from upbeat songs to more soft and sombre tunes and everything in between. The vocal performances of all the lead actors are tremendous with every note being crisp and in key. It must be added here therefore that Audrey Hepburn simply mimed her vocals as Marni Nixon in fact sang them.
Every song within the film certainly adds a certain something but my favourite songs simply have to be "Why can't the English?" and "Wouldn't it be Loverly", which are performed right at the beginning of the film. My reasoning for this is that these two musical performances showcase the differences between the speech of the two lead characters in a humorous and quite frankly brilliant way.
Of Course the cast itself are also very important and again seem to have been superbly picked for the roles they fulfil. Audrey Hepburn is fantastic as Eliza but wasn't the filmmaker's first choice. Julie Andrews was the first person wished to play the role of Miss Doolittle but was eventually dismissed, as the consensus was that she wasn't famous enough and would not draw in the audience - how wrong could they have been. Saying this however Hepburn really does do a sterling job in this role and her acting style really shows her to be a very versatile actress.
Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins and Wilfred Hyde-White as Colonel Pickering are also tremendous in their roles. The two characters compliment each other brilliant with Pickering constantly seeing the best in Eliza and Higgins always seeing the worst.
Now I'm not saying this film is in any way perfect as it does have quite a few flaws. For example if watched closely a great number of continuity errors do come to the forefront. As well as this when Hepburn's character screeches, which she does a lot, the sound isn't very pleasant and although I presume this was the intended effect it can become rather irritating and may make some people disinterested especially as it occurs early on in the film.
Despite this however My Fair Lady is still a film that I would recommend to everyone. It has a rating of U and so is suitable for all family viewing. I would however strongly recommend it to anyone who loves musicals, as this certainly is one of the best.
My Fair Lady is a musical adaptation of the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion. It tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, who approaches Professor Henry Higgins for speech lessons, in order that she may learn to speak properly, and work in a flower shop.
My Fair Lady is one of my favourite films ever, and I think a lot of this has to do with the casting. Although there was a bit of a furore at the time over the casting of Audrey Hepburn as Eliza, I think that it was a genius move. She is one of my favourite actresses, and brings so much to the part of Eliza. She also works particularly well with Rex Harrison, who plays Henry Higgins. Of course, these are the main, starring roles, but I think there are another two actors that are brilliant in My Fair Lady - Stanley Holloway and Wilfred Hyde-White. Holloway plays Alfred P. Doolittle, and his musical number "Get Me To the Church on Time" is one of my favourites. And, as General Pickering, Hyde-White is such a delight, the perfect foil for Henry Higgins!
This is really a great musical, and even if they didn't trust Audrey Hepburn to do her own singing, it's a musical that everyone should see!
~~ My Fair Lady ~~
This is a wonderful endearing film, a story of rags to riches, based on the original story of a cockney flower girl Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The Screenplay and Lyrics were done by Alan Jay Lerner he is also responsible for the stage musical before the film concept was taken on. Warner Bros paid a whopping $5 million for the film rights.
~~ The Film ~~
The film starts off in an Edwardian setting with all the gentry dressed in their finery coming out of the theatre on the wet cold night, you have the street sellers packing up and covering up their wares from the rain. This is the scene where we first meet five of our cast; it is one of the most important scenes as it sets the storyline. It is where our dear Eliza Doolittle a cockney flower girl meets the arrogant Professor Henry Higgins. It is quite comical hearing cockney at its most coarse; Professor Higgins is an expert on the English Language and also runs elocution lessons. I have to smile at one comment Higgins says, he calls Eliza 'a squashed cabbage leaf'.
Eliza approaches Professor Higgins and asks him to teach her to talk more genteel so that she could sell flowers in a shop, and get her own little place to live. Professor Higgins decides after an argument with his friend Colonel Pickering that he bets that he could turn Eliza into a lady and convince those at the forthcoming ball held in 6 months time at Buckingham Palace that she is a lady of stature.
We sit through and watch Eliza's struggle and her transformation from a street girl to a lady, this in itself has some extremely funny moments, like the time the maids try to give Eliza her first ever bath, I think the screams were probably heard 3 streets away, lol. We also get to know more about Professor Higgins and his approach to life, he sings a very catchy song that tells us exactly what kind a man he is : ).
I am going to leave the film now, as I will write little snippets with the cast and song titles to follow. Plus, I would not want to spoil the film for you.
~~ The Cast ~~
Audrey Hepburn - Eliza Doolittle - she played this part wonderfully, she is such and elegant and versatile actress. Sadly although she was nominated for an Oscar for this part she lost to Julie Andrews, who played Eliza on the stage, but was turned down by Warner Bros for the film version. Audrey Hepburn got the biggest payout ever at the time for her part as Eliza Doolittle $1 million flat fee.
Rex Harrison - Professor Henry Higgins, extremely well suited to the part. He actually approached Warner's for the part of Higgins, which he had played on the stage. At first he was turned down, but they eventually took him on at ¼ of the cost of Eliza Doolittle. He also had a trick of speaking his lyrics of the songs to the melody, instead of singing, but it worked very well.
Stanley Holloway - Alfred Doolittle - Eliza's father, he played a cockney out of work dustman, there are many funny scenes and songs with Alfred, one particular scene is where he goes to see Professor Higgins to 'sell' his daughter.
Wilfred Hyde-White - Colonel Pickering - A gentleman staying with Professor Higgins, he is Eliza's adversary who pulls Higgins up on his manners and behaviour at times, he also treats Eliza like a young lady even when she was a street flower girl.
Gladys Cooper - Mrs Higgins - the professors' mother
Jeremy Brett - Freddy Eynsford-Hill - Freddy falls head over heals in love with Eliza, will it be reciprocated, you will have to watch and find out.
Theodore Bikel - Zoltan Karpathy - he plays a small but substantial part to the storyline, he has the most comical hair do. He was also a past student of Professor Higgins.
Mona Washbourne - Mrs Pearce - as Professor Higgins house-keeper she looks after Eliza and tries to bring reason to Henry Higgins.
Isobel Elsom - Mrs Eynsford-Hill - She is Freddie's mom.
Director - George Cukor.
Choreography - Hermes Pan
~~ Songs ~~
Overture -
Why Can't The English? - Sang by Professor Higgins like all Rex Harrison's songs very catchy.
Wouldn't It Be Loverly? - sang by Eliza Doolittle (voice over by Marni Nixon, who has a wonderful voice). This endearing song, was sung in a cockney accent.
I'm An Ordinary Man - a catchy tune done by Rex Harrison telling us that he is just An Ordinary Man.
With a Little Bit O' Luck - sung by Eliza's cockney father Alfred. A chirpy number where he is on the scrounge for a few bob.
Just You Wait - Sang once again by Eliza, singing about what she would like to do to Professor Higgins.
Poor Professor Higgins - Sang by the Higgins household staff all offering him there sympathies.
The Rain In Spain - I love this song, it is sung by Eliza 'correctly' and the excitement and fun really come out with the song.
I Could Have Danced All Night - A lovely ballad sung again by Eliza.
Ascot Gavotte - A lovely scene with elegant black 'n' white costumes, performed by the dancers and singers.
On The Street Where You Live - This is sung by Freddie as he hangs around outside Eliza's home trying to catch a glimpse of her. A very pleasant love song.
You Did it - a chirpy congratulatory song by Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering.
Show Me - Eliza and Freddie - A sort of love ballad.
Get Me To The Church On Time - a fun song by Alfred Doolittle sang obviously the night before the big day - lol.
A Hymm to Him - Sung by Higgins about how he does not understand women (now I know you men will say who does, he, he).
Without You - Another sort of duet between Higgins and Eliza.
I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face - Sung by Higgins reflecting on the last 6 months.
~~ DVD Extra's ~~
Jump To Scene - there are 50 scenes and you can pick which scene from blocks of 4.
Select Languages - English, French and Italian. Subtitles are available here also. There is also a button which will take you to the Commentary - this can also be found in the special features section which I will come to shortly.
~~ Special Features ~~
Commentary by Art Director, Gene Alden, the restoration team of Robert Harris and James Katz, Marni Nixon also commentates; she did the singing voice of Eliza Doolittle. - This lasts the whole length of the film as they talk over each scene of the movie. I found it could take a little while to get used to as you have to cut off the sound track of the film in the back ground in your mind as they are both playing at the same time, obviously with the commentary being slightly louder. But if you love to know how it was all put together then it will be worth viewing and listening to.
Original Featurette - The Fairest Fair Lady - This is a 10 minute background feature showing you scenery and costume making, filming, dressing rooms, wigs, the staff behind the scenes and the millinery.
Audrey Hepburn Vocals - there are two songs listed under this title - Wouldn't It Be Loverly? And Show Me - both sang here by Audrey herself, she has a nice voice, but not a patch on Marni who does her voice over.
Theatrical Trailer - this runs for 5 minutes, introducing you to the stars of the show and this also has sections from the original featurette as well.
~~ My Views ~~
I love this film, it is a nice story of Rags to Riches, it has a touch of humour and romance, it is easy to watch and enjoy with the whole family. I love the music and the way it carries you along with the story. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn really compliment each other throughout. It will make you smile in just the right places. A timeless classic, they just don't make them how they used to these days. This film did not need magnificent million dollar special effects to make it good. The wonderful characters, the singing, the costumes, the atmosphere it created, the storyline all went to make it a fantastic film.
~~ Trivia ~~
It went on to win 8 Oscars as the 1965 Academy Awards.

If there's one thing I really enjoy it's old films, particularly musicals...and what better than My Fair Lady starring the one and only very fair lady, Audrey Hepburn, my favourite film star of all time. Filmed in l964 by Warner Brothers, My Fair Lady is, as most people will know, the film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion which in turn is based on the Latin Poet Ovid's story in Metamorphisis. In this Pygmalion falls in love with an ivory statue. He prays to Venus (as the Greeks did in those days) to make the statue come to life which duly happens. The l964 version was in fact the second time the story had been made into a film, an earlier version having starred Dame Wendy Hillier and Lesley Howard (who later found fame as Ashley in Gone with the Wind). It was also a successful Broadway hit with a very young Julie Andrews playing the part of Eliza Doolittle on stage. Julie was turned down for the film role however by Jack Warner who selected Audrey in her place.Luckily however, Julie subsequently won an Academy Award for the part of Mary Poppins, a role she would have been unable to play had she been selected for My Fair Lady. Poor Audrey didn't even get a nomination, although she attended the Awards and graciously accepted defeat in her usual elegant way. The film is directed by George Cukor who if I'm not mistaken also at one point directed Vivienne Leigh in Gone with The Wind although he was later replaced. Music is by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loew and the musical score is played by Andre Previn. Marnie Nixon dubs for Audrey as indeed she did for Deborah Kerr in the King and I, although certain parts of the song are actually sung by Audrey herself. Apparently Audrey was very disappointed not to be allowed to sing her own parts completely as she had undergone intensive training in this respect. If you listen carefully, it is possible to hear when Audrey sings and when Marnie actually
takes over ....usually when Eliza is playing her ladylike roles. The song "Why Can't a Woman be More Like a Man" was actually inspired by the rather grand Rex Harrison's disdain for his ex wife it's been said. My Fair Lady was nominated for no less than l2 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director and actually won 8 Awards. I wonder if anyone recognises Jeremy Brett in the cast .....he later went on to gain fame as Sherlock Holmes in the television series. Jeremy plays Freddie, the upperclass gentleman who falls madly in love with Eliza, particularly when she yells "Move yer bloomin' arse" at the Ascot Races. It was also nominated for best film set, although it has to be said that some of the sets now look very staged and rather dated and I have to admit that this does spoil the film somewhat in my opinion although this is more than compensated for by the music. Professor Higgins is played by the one and only Rex Harrison, with Colonel Pickering being played by the wonderful Wilfred Hyde White. The story itself is based on the bet between the two that Higgins, a so called phonetician, will not be able to pass off Eliza, a one time Covent Garden flower girl, as a highclass lady after giving her elocution lessons. Eliza, a dustman's daughter through trial and error is transformed, with many comedy scenes and a glorious soundtrack along the way. Her transformation is hampered somewhat by her father's interference and this role is given to Stanley Holloway who memorably sings "Get me to the Church on Time" when he inherits some money and becomes a man of substance, much to his horror. Eliza is eventually put to the test when she attends the ball with Higgins and Pickering hosted by the Grand Ambassador with the guest of honour being the Queen of Transylvania. The Queen is charmed by Eliza's beauty and it has to be said Audrey Hepburn di
d indeed look her elegant best at this point in the film. Eliza dances with the Prince and her accent is undetected by Higgins' greatest pupil who is also present at the ball. Look out for the scene when Higgins' mother expresses her concerns at her son's shoddy treatment of Eliza saying "You mean they never patted you or praised you for your wonderful achievments"......who does this bring to mind.....I couldn't help but think about Diana the last time I saw this film, it was an echo of what occurred during her lifetime. Higgins and Eliza fall in love and the film surrounds their realising this and the problems in their contrasting personalities, alongside this there is a background of the moralities and class prejudices of the time. There's no point telling anyone the outcome although I am sure there will be few who haven't seen it, but the film is a treat with glorious costumes and wonderful tunes including: Wouldn't it be lovely I could have danced all night .....my own personal favourite I've grown accustomed to her Face Get me to the Church on Time. With a little bit of luck. With dancing and fine acting, colourful film sets and the outstanding beauty of Audrey Hepburn, this is a family film not to be missed and one I personally will never tire of. Martine McCutcheon is presently playing the part alongside Dennis Waterman (as Alfred) and I am sure she will play the part well. For me however there will only ever be one Eliza and that's Audrey. On a final note just take a look at the My Fair Lady Website of playdolls. Somebody has actually set up Professor Higgins and Eliza Doolittle figurines,
Hollywood's legendary "woman's director", George Cukor (The Women, The Philadelphia Story), transformed Audrey Hepburn into street-urchin-turned-proper-lady Eliza Doolittle in this film version of the Lerner and Loewe musical. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady stars Rex Harrison as linguist Henry Higgins (Harrison also played the role, opposite Julie Andrews, on stage), who draws Eliza into a social experiment that works almost too well. The letterbox edition of this film on video certainly pays tribute to the pageantry of Cukor's set, but it also underscores a certain visual stiffness that can slow viewer enthusiasm just a tad. But it's really star wattage that keeps My Fair Lady exciting--that and such great songs as "On the Street Where You Live" and "I Could Have Danced All Night". Actor Jeremy Brett, who gained a huge following later in life portraying Sherlock Holmes, is quite electric as Eliza's determined suitor. --Tom Keogh

Draft Countdown: Four offers real value
NFL.com Staff | Tags: Draft Countdown, Brett Favre, Joe Montana
Four. In some Eastern cultures that number is bad luck and represents death. For a lot of fans, it will be death by a thousand paper cuts waiting for Thursday … Day 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft. Four is football at its essence: Four downs, four quarters, and going way back, the Four Horsemen.
But what does the No. 4 signify in the world of the draft?
- Round 4 kicks off the last day of draft weekend, which is often low on hype and high on value.
- Speaking of value, there's been some good fourth-round picks from the last couple of years, but nothing like the 2006 draft. Here's a sampling: Owen Daniels (98th overall), Brad Smith (103rd), Jahri Evans (108th), Jason Avant (109th), Leon Washington (117th), Stephen Gostkowski (118th), Brandon Marshall (119th), Elvis Dumervil (126th), Ray Edwards (127th) Willie Colon (131st). Wow, pretty good for a low round of one draft.
- OK, we have to say him. Can't escape it … the ultimate No. 4 is Brett Favre, who also was a great value in the second round of the 1991 draft.
- The fourth overall pick has been a cash cow for teams, with nine Hall of Famers to date. But that number will get even more bloated when Charles Woodson (1998) and Jonathan Ogden (1996) get in. And what if Philip Rivers (2004), Edgerrin James (1999) and Chris Doleman (1985) make it too?
- The fourth greatest player on "The Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players" is four-time Super Bowl winner Joe Montana. Vote here for the 2011's 100 best players.
- Montana beat the Bengals in two of those Super Bowls. With the Carson Palmer situation looming over their head, will Cincy take a quarterback at the four-spot?
- Four days from now, we'll have that answer.
– Elliot Harrison

Did you hear about this? Thanks to the Department of Health and Human Services the number of codes health care providers use for classifying injuries, illnesses or conditions is set to explode. Currently there are around 17,000 ICD-9 codes, ICD-10 is going to increase that number to a whopping 140,000. I can't even imagine the nightmare it's going to be to get the billing systems updated.
An avalanche of paperwork is about to fall on doctors
Is there a code for that?
Were you hit by a falling kayak? Injured while baking, vacuuming or spending too much time in a deep freeze? Encountered a lamppost for the second time? Were you bitten by a turkey? Never fear, the ICD-10 is here.
Starting this October, your doctor will be required to record precisely whether you were bitten or struck by a parrot, macaw, chicken, turkey, or any "other psittacines," or encountered any one of 140,000 other specific medical conditions, injuries or diseases.
This will be a significant and disruptive change to the health sector.
Medical providers who participate in Medicare, Medicaid and any other federal health program must follow highly detailed coding requirements to get paid — on top of trying to wade through the mounting complexities of ObamaCare.
For 30 years, the U.S. has used the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9), but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requiring virtually all hospitals, laboratories and medical offices to convert to the more complex ICD-10 coding system on Oct. 1.
Read the whole thing. Of course the government is saying this change won't be delayed, I guess they think it won't help Democrats in the fall to do so. But this is so bad that they're telling doctors to have six months of cash reserves on hand during the transition. How many doctors will just call it quits? As if Obamacare wasn't bad enough, now this.

Well my new tuner is breaking in nicely; apparently it had lain dormant in its box since being made and hence is still "new". Radio 3 FM sounds incredible - mid range and detail is better and sweeter than my CD, maybe due in part to thermionic valves in the output stage. . Borrowing the Chord Chorus 2 IC from my CD (in place of the old tuner's Cambridge ICs) further improved this. Bass not quite there yet but a google search indicates that this will come with burn in
Upsampled (192k) DAB is very good on Radio 6 but comparison of R3 FM with DAB proves the point that interpolation can't recover data that isn't in the transmission
I had considered streaming internet radio but this would have been a more expensive and at present I don't believe that this would match FM R3 (which I believe will still be there when I'm gone) broadcast quality. R6 may have been a little better than upsampled DAB but (to me) R6 SQ less important - main benefit of R6 (and R3 too) is to discover new music to buy on CD (or eventually high resolution downloads)


text: We were in Orlando in January spending a few days before our Fantasy cruise. We went to a timeshare presentation at Orange Lake Resort and ended up buying. I don't know what came over us. We're not impulse buyers, but the possibilities of using the points for RCI seemed to be very attractive at the time. Well, the next day we left for our cruise and were not in the country for the one week period where you could rescind your decision. We now have some major regret. We could have spent that money for additional DVC points and would also had access to RCI if we wanted it. I was wishing that something might happen to give us an out (a very unrealistic wish) when today we received an unsolicited call from Creative Travel Choice. They apparently got our name and number from Orange Lake. They have a program where you can contract with them and they rent your points to large corporations that are looking for resorts to send their employees to. The prices they quoted to me were very attractive and there was no commission. The contract for the rental would hold the corporations liable for any damages, not the timeshare owner. Has anyone ever heard of this before? We had no intention of buying a timeshare to make money, we just weren't comfortable with what we bought. It seems too good to be true. Thoughts, anyone?

Winter storm possible this week for the east coast and D.C. area
Latest guidance continues to depict the development of a winter storm for the east coast, including the D.C. area. At this point in time, I will already tell you it is too early to pinpoint or give an estimation of predicted snowfall totals, but there is a potential for multiple inches.
As usual with these kind of storms, snowfall totals will completely depend on the exact track, which at this point is still up in the air. Just a difference in 50 miles can greatly determine snowfall amounts across the area.Latest graphic from the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington Office
If you remember a few years ago the D.C. area was expecting a snowstorm around Christmas. The track ended up changing 50 miles and the Eastern Shore saw a foot of snow along the coast while D.C. barely saw a thing. These can be very difficult to track so we will be watching the set-up very closely this week.
Speaking of the set-up, what is giving this system more confidence for snow than storms earlier this winter? It appears we'll finally be dealing with some southern energy which will be able to pull in moisture from the Gulf and eventually the Atlantic as a coastal low is expected to develop by Wednesday night.12Z GFS 500mb Vorticity plot and heights forecast for Tuesday Morning(Courtesy: NEXLAB Models)
Combine that with energy about to enter the Pacific Northwest which will eventually catch up to the southern stream system and phase together. This will help develop a nice troughing feature which should help intensify the surface low pressure system.12Z GFS 500mb Vorticity plot and heights forecast for Thursday Morning(Courtesy: NEXLAB Models)
All the while, high pressure currently over the Midwest will help set the stage for this storm as it meanders to the east and eventually sets up shop over the northeast. A classic cold-air damming situation will set up and plenty of cold air will be situated across the D.C. area.12Z GFS MSLP and P-type forecast for Thursday around 1am (Courtesy: WeatherBELL Models)
High pressure should also help push the low pressure system up the coast instead of a more easterly track out to sea. This is where the question of what track will it actually take. Too far west and the D.C. area may see a wintry mix or rain, too far east and parts of the area may not even see snow at all. If it's just right we could be in for a big snowstorm.
Time will tell, but right now snow is looking more and more likely starting late Wednesday night continuing through Thursday evening. We'll have a full update with all of the latest tonight on ABC 7 News at 5pm, 6pm and 11pm.

Controversial anti-Bush administration documentary and winner of this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes, Fahrenheit 9/11, will have its Australian premiere in Melbourne.
The film by US documentary maker Michael Moore has been described by critics as a partisan but powerful indictment of US President George Bush's handling of the September 11, 2001 attacks and his war on terror.
Its first screening in Australia will take place at the 53rd Melbourne International Film Festival on July 22.
MIFF executive director James Hewison said the film would then start screening nationally the week after its premiere.
"We are thrilled to be able to add the Australian premiere of this much-anticipated film to the exceptional line-up of new documentaries that will be screened at this year's festival," Mr Hewison said.
"It is an incendiary work by one of the world's best known documentary filmmakers and we're proud to be the first in Australia to screen it."
Fahrenheit 9/11 is the first documentary to win the Palme d'Or since Jacques Cousteau's The Silent World in 1956.
The 53rd Melbourne International Film Festival runs from July 21 to August 8, with the full program to be announced on June 16.

CCU professor awarded prestigious Rome Prize
The Rome Prize for the 2007-2008 academic year includes an 11-month fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. Glaze, a medieval specialist who has conducted considerable research on medicine during the Middle Ages, will work to complete her current project, "Gariopontus and the Salernitans: Medical Practice and Medical Theory, c. 1050-1225."
Each year, through a national competition, some 30 Americans receive Rome Prize fellowships for advanced research and independent study in arts and the humanities. Only four post-doctoral prizes in the humanities are awarded for research in ancient studies, medieval studies, Renaissance and early modern studies, and modern Italian studies.
Glaze, who joined Coastal's faculty in 2003, earned a Ph.D. from Duke University. She taught previously at the College of Charleston.
Founded in 1894, the American Academy in Rome is one of the leading American overseas centers for advanced scholarly research. A private institution, the Academy is supported by gifts from individuals, foundations, corporations and universities, as well as by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.S. Department of Education.

It's easier to get onto the Honeycomb Spire than the Banana Tower. The Spire is lower than the main cliff (the Tower is level).
But its a much shorter step over the void than the Tower is.

|Sweet little area, take the first path off the main parking (closest to the lot entrance, furthest from the bathrooms) lot where the bathrooms are. Walk off the path at the "T", and drop your rope over the side. Couldn't be but a couple hundred yards. Easiest hike to climbing in the canyon! Good variety of moderate climbs. The cliff faces north, however, so winter climbing is not so great. A 70 degree spring day proved very inviting despite the leftover snow at the bottom.

VW Golf Mk3 - will it ever become a classic..?
100,400 miles and still banging along. As reliable as a Bosch dishwasher. Well maintained and no dings. Low costs due to 1401 cc engine... so what is wrong with it?
It's a Catch 22 car. Value to me, limitless. Value for part exchange at dealer, £175 for scrap. Top sale price on eBay -maybe £500. So why not sell it? Investment costs, probably about £3K. Hence loss of £2.5K.
The ony hope is for the trusty Mk3 to become a classic.
My mechanic says "If the world drove Nissan Micras and Mk3 Golfs, I'd be out of business."
I look forward to see them appearing in the clasifieds at C&SC.
Will it be a classic? Some definitely will: the VR6 and timewarp examples, but, paradocxically, general acceptance of all Mk3s as classics will take a lot longer because they are so good and so many of them are still around as daily drivers, just "old" cars instead of classics.
However far off it may be, the day will come though and until then it is nice that the market thinks so little of them that it is not worth letting one go.
If the value is just £175, what better argument to keep it, enjoy it and, even if prices don't ever go up, enjoy years more cheap motoring in something you cherish?
You may have to wait a long time. I have just driven to a classic auction in Poole next month a 1984 2.3 V6 Sierra, 90k very nice condition full main dealer service history and one owner from new. guide price £500/800.

Wheeler latest to leave, joins Red Sox for $3M
UPDATE, 4:14: Wheeler said there were some mixed emotions in leaving the Rays, and the comforts of playing at home since he lives in Seminole, but he was excited by the opportunity to play for his hometown team, having grown up in Rhode Island.
"I wouldn't trade any of my time in Tampa Bay for anything, I really enjoyed my time there,'' he said. "It's unfortunately part of the game, the business side of it, and you move on. I'm really excited about the opportunity to play for the Red Sox. Obviously I'm from Rhode Island, and they were my team growing up, so I'm definitely exited about it.''
Wheeler said there were some talks with the Rays about staying, but he obviously got a better offer: "I think this was just the best fit for me.''
UPDATE, 11:39: Wheeler got paid according to detail from fanhouse.com, with a $3-million salary in 2011 and either $3-million or $3.25-million for his 2012 option based on appearances.
DEVELOPING: Add Dan Wheeler to the list of relievers who've officially left the Rays, as he agreed to terms with the Red Sox, according to ESPN's Gordon Edes.
Wheeler got a one-year deal with a team option for 2012 that would vest with 65 appearances, according to WEEI.com. No financial terms were yet available.
Wheeler, 33, was 2-4 with a 3.35 ERA for the Rays in 64 games last season. The Rays first declined a $4-million option on Wheeler, opting to pay him a $1-million buyout, then declined to offer him arbitration. As a result they won't get any draft pick compensation for him.
Wheeler began his career with the Rays, then after stints with the Braves, Mets and Astros returned in a July 2007 trade for Ty Wigginton. Wheeler's 419 appearances since the start of the 2005 season are the thirs most in the majors behind Chad Qualls (another Rays free agent), 435, and Cincinnati's Francisco Cordero, 424.
Wheeler made 258 appearances for the Rays, just shy of Esteban Yan's franchise record of 266.
Here is an update on the Rays seven free agent relievers:
Joaquin Benoit, signed with Detroit ($16.5M, 3 years)
Randy Choate, signed with Florida ($2.5M, 2 years)
Dan Wheeler, signed with Boston ($3M, 1 year plus option)
Rafael Soriano, unsigned, seeking large multiyear deal
Grant Balfour, unsigned, seeking multiyear deal
Chad Qualls, unsigned
Lance Cormier, unsigned
The Rays get compensation-round draft picks for Benoit and Choate. They would get two draft picks each for Soriano and Balfour, and a compensation round pick for Qualls.

Building a patio table can be a simple do-it-yourself project if you have the right tools and materials. You can save time and a few headaches by planning and having the treated wood boards cut to size for you at your local home improvement store.
To make a wooden patio table, you'll need wood that's been treated for outdoor use. Treated wood is not as appealing to insects as other types of lumber; it will also hold up better in the elements. Your table design will dictate how much wood you'll need and whether or not you'll need plywood or planks.
To make a slatted table like a picnic table, you'll need 4- to 6-inch-wide boards that are at least 2 inches thick to build the table-top frame and for similar planks to fit across the top. To make a tiled patio table, you can use a sheet of 2-inch-thick plywood cut to fit for the top of your frame. Four table legs will complete the frame for your patio table; make your own or purchase decorative legs from the home improvement store. You'll also need support braces, decking screws and a drill bit to make pilot holes so that it's easier to insert the screws.
To make a rectangular patio table with either a slatted or plywood top, assemble the four sides of your top frame as if you were making a box. You can use L brackets to join the corners together, or use 3-inch decking screws. The 4- to 6-inch-wide boards should be facing out and will become the sides of your table-top frame, with support boards running across the width of the table every 16 inches. Attach the four table legs to the corners of your top frame with L brackets or decking screws. To add the slats for a picnic-style table, attach the boards to each of the support beams along the top frame. You'll also want to attach the plywood top the same way so that it will not buckle over time.
Finishing a slatted patio table made from teak, redwood or other treated wood can be as simple as applying wood sealer to help protect it from moisture. Maintain your patio table with wood sealer at least once each year. To paint or stain your patio table, sand the wood with medium-grade and then light-grade sandpaper before you apply the finish. You can tile your plywood table top with ceramic, porcelain or slate tiles for a decorative finish. Thinset mortar is the adhesive you need to tile an outdoor patio table. To make a mosaic design, draw the outline on the table top, add thinset mortar to each section and place the tiles. Grout and seal the table top and you'll enjoy dining alfresco on your patio for years.

Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and the state's GOP legislative leaders are proposing a new strategy for health care reform.
Bachmann will outline the plan Monday at a State Capitol news conference billed as a "Declaration of Health Care Independence." Senate Minority Leader David Senjem and House Minority Leader Kurt Zellers will also participate.
Bachmann has been a regular critic of the Democratic-led health care efforts in Washington. But she said at a rally last week it's now time to move forward.
"We can't just stay in a position of anger...just fighting each other," Bachmann said.
She added that GOP lawmakers need to put ideas on the table and move forward from there.
"But before we do that," Bachmann said, "we have to sit down and establish the rules of the game and debate."
Bachmann has previously proposed new tax breaks for individuals who purchase their own health insurance and a full deduction on the cost of premiums. She also favors an expansion of health savings accounts.

I will not quit dancing: Esha Deol
Esha Deol is hardly seen on the big screen, but the recently-married actress, a trained Odissi dancer, says she will never quit dance.
"It's [dance] a convention passed on to me and Ahana [sister] by maa [Hema Malini] and I will continue doing it. Dance is something that I am never going to quit," the 31-year-old said.
Deol, who tied the knot with her businessman beau Bharat Takhtani on June 29, was at a celebration for Krishna Janmashtami in Mumbai on Friday.
She performed Manglacharan, a popular style of Odissi, at the event.
"Since childhood, I have been a true devotee of lord Krishna. We [Bharat and I] even got married in Krishna's mandir [temple], so maybe it was his [lord Krishna's] call that I come and perform over here," she said.
On the big screen, Deol was last seen in Tell Me O Kkhuda, directed by her mother. It was flagged as Deol's comeback film, but it failed to click at the box office.

facing the University and all those who are aiding in the work of
providing scholarships for athletes. He pointed out that last
year a previous balance was used up and that this year the pro-
gram has ended with an operational deficit of $15,750. By direc-
tion from the Legislature, none of the money now budgeted for
operational expenses for the coming biennium can be used for ath-
letic scholarships. It was estimated that scholarships of $750
each would have to be provided for approximately 32 athletes to
assure a team to carry through the football season. After gen-
eral discussion by all present, it was the consensus of opinion
that sufficient money could not be raised. The above group of
men, except reporters Bennyhoff, Irish and Gillis, left the

impracticable to fulfill their commitments to aid the ath-
letic program at the University, and

funds were appropriated for the 1951-53 biennium, and
WHEREAS, such appropriations did not include moneys which
could be utilized for conduct of the athletic scholarships,
WHEREAS, it appears that it is wholly impracticable to carry
on a football program without the aid of scholarships, and
WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Board of Regents of the Uni-
versity of Nevada, it is a physical impossibility to meet a
football schedule such as that made for 1951 without incur-
ring futher heavy indebtedness, and

ation making it difficult to procure and retain enrollment
of athletes, and
WHEREAS, there appears to be general dissatisfaction through-

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer
The common problem on the 2000 Ford E 150 that sets the lean codes 0171 and 0174 is ofter cause by a rotted elbow on the PCV line where it connects to the back of the upper intake. When this happens, it creates an unmetered air leak and this can cause a lean engine misfire. Remove the dog house (engine cover) and follow the PCV line around to it hooks on to the upper intake, I suspect you will find a large vacuum leak. Replace the elbow .

I'd like to reduce the number of characters of a text field as displayed in the CMS view of the DOM, as the rows are getting ridiculously large in proportion to the overall view!
I managed to implement this kind of thing for an image field:
public function getDOMThumbnail()
return $this->Image()->CroppedImage(150,150);
Where 'DOMThumbnail' is placed in the DOM array. But can find no similar example of how to reduce a text field, in this case its an HTMLtext field, nor have any of my attempts/experiments from reading through the api docs really helped much either in solving the problem. Seems like it should be pretty simple really?!

This record is held by Devon Archives and Local Studies Service (South West Heritage Trust)
This additional deposit includes title deeds, leases, mortgages and marriage settlements dated from the 16th to the 18th century relating to estates in Crediton and Exeter St Thomas. It also includes correspondence, business and testamentary papers relating to the Gould and Yonge families
|1544 - 1841
|Held by:
|Devon Archives and Local Studies Service (South West Heritage Trust), not available at The National Archives
|Physical description:
|4 subfonds
|Administrative / biographical background:
This collection of Devon records is the eighth additional deposit of Buller family papers, and also complements the records of Buller of Shillingham in Cornwall, where the family settled in the 16th century. The Devon branch was established following the marriage in 1739 of James Buller of Morval, Downes, and Shillingham, MP for Cornwall, to Elizabeth daughter of William Gould of Downes. James Buller (1766-1827) was MP for Exeter, and his son James Wentworth (1798-1865) was MP for Exeter and subsequently for the Northern Division of Devon. The family and the records culminated in the career of Sir Redvers Henry Buller (1839-1908), including his term of office as Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as well as his military exploits in the China War, 1860, the Red River Expedition, 1870, the Ashanti War, 1873-4, the South African War, 1878-9, the Egyptian Expedition, 1882-4, the Sudan Expedition, 1884-5, and the Boer War, 1899-1900. 20th century records reflect the lives of Mowbray Buller and Dame Georgiana, daughter of Sir Redvers.
The family played an active role in the political life of their county, in the parishes of Crediton and St Thomas, and in the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The Bullers were related by marriage at one time or another to the Howards, Earls of Suffolk, the Howard-Molyneux-Howards, Dukes of Norfolk, the Wallops, Earls of Portsmouth, and the Watneys (the brewers). Several members of the family had distinguished careers, including the Right Revd William Buller (1735-1796), who was Bishop of Exeter from 1792 to 1796, and Ernest Wentworth Buller (born 1841), who was a noted engineer and mathematician.
The properties in and around Crediton and St Thomas, Exeter came to the Buller family through the Killigrew and Bodley families; part had been the original episcopal manor of Crediton. In the early nineteenth century, James Buller considerably extended these properties by purchase.

"My Female Boss Intimidated Me — And I'm Better Off Because of It"
By Claire Landsbaum
Female bosses have good reason to develop behavior patterns that their subordinates might find intimidating.
It's a well-documented fact that although women make up a little more than half (52 percent) of the American labor force, they hold far fewer leadership positions — only 14.6 percent of executive officers, 8.1 percent of top earners, and 4.6 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs.
In fact, studies show that male subordinates feel threatened by female bosses and tend to respond more aggressively toward them, and a new survey shows that adolescents — both male and female — still prefer to see men in leadership roles.
To compensate for the many, many factors working against them, some female bosses are strictly no-nonsense. Some are intimidating because they're utterly self-assured, and some are so straightforward that they come off as abrasive.
But brusque lady bosses come with perks. Although it might seem counterintuitive, your most intimidating boss can be your greatest asset.
John*, who worked as a recruiter for a web-based news company for almost a year, was initially intimidated by his female boss because of her dedication. "She always looked super engaged in whatever she was doing," he said. "If she was working on something, it was intimidating to try to pull her away because she looked so intensely focused."
Her attitude made him nervous to ask questions or admit mistakes.
"Finally I did something that ended up costing the company money," he said. "She put up a listing for a replacement. When I saw it I worked up the courage to confront her, and I think she respected that."
He left the position a few months later on a high note, having run the department while she was on vacation. "Toward the end I was more willing to speak up and had the courage to flourish at the harder parts of my job," he said. "I think that lack of complacency improved me as a person because it was the first time I had to work really hard to impress someone."
The key to a fulfilling job, he said, is to grow as an employee. It's easier to operate outside your comfort zone if your boss is someone who pushes you there, i.e. someone who won't let you do things halfway. In that vein intimidation — and wanting to impress someone — can be a powerful motivator.
Thanks to his intimidating lady boss, John became a better communicator and a more honest person. But, he cautions, intimidation doesn't work for everyone: "I don't think you should fake anything. If you try to be intimidating and you're not, as soon as someone sees the cracks in that facade they'll steamroll over you. So be honest about who you are and figure out how to make that work for you. Intimidation does not equal success."
When it comes to workplace demeanor, women are victims of a vicious double-standard: Too sweet and we're a pushover, too stern and we're the office bitch. When you're a woman in the workplace, the mere fact that you're confident might be enough to intimidate male (and female) co-workers, subordinates, and higher-ups. Women shouldn't have to adopt alpha-male characteristics to be taken seriously, but they shouldn't shy away from their natural confidence, either.
