On Her Majesty's Secret Service
On Her Majesty's Secret Service This sixth installment of the James Bond cycle was dogged by something more serious than mere creative hiccup: the departure of the iconic Sean Connery from the title role. If the film's strong screenplay and grittier, more realistic action sequences were a plus, the producers insistence on recasting Bond with another unknown (as Connery had been before Dr. No) was less sage; Australian model George Lazenby became an uncomfortable cinematic footnote and trivia subject after he, too, refused to reprise the role. But the presence of John Barry insured that the series' musical continuity, even if the composer took the opportunity to expand his palette to include the same sorts of contemporary Euro-jazz/pop influences (including early synths) then percolating through the comedy and adventure scores of Morricone. Legend Louis Armstrong forged the Barry-Hal David penned, "We Have All the Time in the World," into one of the most sublime (and unusual) of the "Bond songs;" it was the first not to be used as a title theme and marked the last recording of Armstrong's remarkable career. Thus inspired, Barry rose to the occasion with what remains one of his most subtle and introspective Bond scores. This digitally remastered edition effectively doubles the running time of the original with 10 tracks of previously unreleased cues, music that further underscores the mature, almost melancholy essence of what remains the composer's most unique contribution to the Bond canon. --Jerry McCulley

James Bond Collection
James Bond Collection The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3 (GoldenEye / Live and Let Die / For Your Eyes Only / From Russia With Love / On Her Majesty's Secret Service)
James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3 (GoldenEye / Live and Let Die / For Your Eyes Only / From Russia With Love / On Her Majesty's Secret Service) Goldeneye: The 18th James Bond adventure was a runaway box-office success when released in 1995, thanks to the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the fifth actor (following the departure of Timothy Dalton) to play the suave, danger-loving Agent 007. This James Bond is a bit more vulnerable and psychologically complex--and just a shade more politically correct--but he's still a formally attired playboy at heart, with a lovely Russian beauty (Izabella Scorupco) as his sexy ally against a cadre of renegade Russians bent on--what else?--global domination. There's also a seductive villainous with the suggestive name of Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), and the great actress Judi Dench makes her first appearance as Bond's superior, M, who wisecracks about 007's "dinosaur" status as a globetrotting sexist. All in all, this action-packed Bond adventure provided a much-needed boost the long-running movie series, revitalizing the 007 franchise for the turn of the millennium. --Jeff Shannon

Live and Let Die: Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

For Your Eyes Only: After a ship sunk off the coast of Albania, the world's superpowers begin a feverish search for its valuable lost cargo: the powerful ATAC system, which will give its bearer unlimited control over Polaris nuclear submarines. As Bond joins the search, he suspects the suave Kristatos (Julian Glover) of seizing the device. The competition between nations grows more deadly by the moment, but Bond finds an ally in the beautiful Melina Havelock (Caroline Bouquet), who blames Kristatos for the death of her parents. The non-stop action includes automobile chases, thrilling underwater battles, and even a breathtaking tour over razor-sharp coral reefs. But all of this is merely a prelude to 007's cliffhanging assault of a magnificent mountaintop fortress. -- Robert Lynch

From Russia with Love: Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young, the second James Bond spy thriller is considered by many fans to be the best of them all. Certainly Sean Connery was never better as the dashing Agent 007, whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela Bianchi), and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte Lenya) with switchblade shoes, and by a crazed killer (Robert Shaw), who clashes with Bond during the film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express. From Russia with Love is classic James Bond, before the gadgets, pyrotechnics, and Roger Moore steered the movies away from the more realistic tone of the books by Ian Fleming. --Jeff Shannon

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Australian model George Lazenby took up the mantle of the world's most suave secret agent when Sean Connery retired as James Bond (although Connery returned in Diamonds Are Forever before leaving the role to Roger Moore); Lazenby's subsequent career fizzled, yet this one-hit wonder is responsible for one of the best Bond films of all time. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 007 leaves the Service to privately pursue his SPECTRE nemesis Blofeld (played this time by Telly Savalas), whose latest master plan involves a threat to the world's crops by agricultural sterilization. Bond teams up with suave international crime lord Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti) and falls in love with--and marries--his elegant daughter, Tracy (Diana Rigg). Bond goes monogamous? Not at first; after all he has Blofeld's harem to seduce. Lazenby hasn't the intensity of Connery but he has fun with his quips and even lampoons the Bond image in a playful pre-credits sequence, and Rigg, fresh from playing sexy Emma Peel in The Avengers, matches 007 in every way. Former editor Peter Hunt makes a strong directorial debut, deftly handling the elaborate action sequences with a kinetic finesse. Though not a hit on its original release, On Her Majesty's Secret Service has become a fan favorite and the closest the series has come to capturing the spirit of Ian Fleming's books. --Sean Axmaker

NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Fifth Season
NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Fifth Season Describing season four of NCIS as "the season of secrets," executive producer Shane Brennan suggests that season five (offered here with 18 episodes, including a two-part finale, on five discs) is "the season of answers." For the most part, that's true--but at season's end, loyal viewers are likely to be thrown for a loop by the death of a major character and a startling set of changes bound to have a profound effect on the show's future. Picking up where the previous year left off, this new batch jumps right in with a continuation of Special Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and company's pursuit of notorious international arms dealer La Grenouille ("The Frog," played by Armand Assante), whom NCIS director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) is particularly keen on taking down--a quest that's complicated by the fact that the bad guy is a CIA asset, and by Agent Anthony DiNozzo's (Michael Weatherly) love affair with La Grenouille's daughter. That storyline, barely touched on thereafter, is resolved in the 14th episode, "Internal Affairs." Meanwhile, the NCIS crew is distracted by an array of other cases, most of them involving murder. Of particular interest are several episodes related to Iraq and the War on Terror: a Naval officer of Syrian descent who's suspected of being an Al Qaeda mole is murdered seconds after Gibbs talks him out of jumping off a building ledge; a Marine who's having a violent bout of post-traumatic stress after returning from the Mideast turns out to be far worse off than that; Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum) refuses to conduct an autopsy because of the deceased's Muslim beliefs.

There's no doubt that NCIS is slick, entertaining prime-time television in every respect: writing, acting, production values, music, and so on. Still, one's appreciation of the show largely depends on the characters' likeability, and that's very much a matter of taste. Gibbs may be a chick magnet, with four former wives and a past relationship with Shepard to prove it, but he's also a taciturn fellow with horrible social skills. DiNozzo's funny and insouciant, but his smugness and incessant razzing of computer nerd Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) soon becomes tiresome, while Shepard is steely and simply unlikeable (the most appealing characters are arguably McCallum's Mallard and Pauley Perrette's mouthy Abby Sciuto, the goth-like forensic expert). Bonus material includes cast and crew commentary on various episodes and a typical assortment of featurettes. --Sam Graham

NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Complete First Season
NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Complete First Season Equal parts JAG and C.S.I., NCIS does a formidable job of blending relevant military headlines with quirky characters who are tenaciously determined to solve a crime--even if it means having to sleep in the morgue to get a few minutes of shut eye. Created by Donald P. Bellisario (JAG, Quantum Leap), NCIS actually began as a two-part episode of JAG in 2003. Later that year, the drama made its full-season debut on CBS. On this six-disc set, which includes all 23 non-JAG episodes plus optional commentary by Bellisario on the first episode, viewers are introduced to an elite squad of special agents, led by Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs is a hard-nosed investigator who doesn't say much. But when he does, an insult usually comes out of his mouth. He's brilliant when it comes to ferreting out the truth, but he's not savvy enough to figure out how to block his ex-wife's nagging phone calls. Instead, he makes do by destroying his cell phone. Gibbs' team is fleshed out by an eclectic and somewhat eccentric set of colleagues, including medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), wannabe playboy and former homicide detective Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), forensics expert and resident Goth chick Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), and former Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander).

The murder of a peripheral NCIS agent halfway through the season is a taste of what's to come in future seasons when core characters leave the show (voluntarily or not). But in its first year, the show sets up a strong premise that (while not wholly original) is well executed. One of the more stickling aspects of the show is its reluctance to allow Tony to show signs of maturity. At times, he behaves more like a rambunctious puppy than an ace investigator. --Jae-Ha Kim

Open Question: Why Wont So Called Christians Release Repentant Criminals? ?
Why Wont So Called Christians Release Repentant Criminals? Concerning Matthew 18:25-35 Please read and pay attention to whole detail of outline so you won?t give a stupid response. Their are practical forms of legislation and social reasoning that can confirm the logos behind what you may deem in prejudice ridiculous Please Don't resort to stupid insults and slander either Think of it this way can you say that when you?re spiritual you refuse those seeking mercy and charity and condemn those who ask for it to hell. Can you say when you?re feeling nostalgic that incarceration prevents crime and repeat offenses? Recidivism rates would argue against your flawed logic. Can you state that change of behavior and rehabilitation comes from external means or is it an internal development? That being said why would anyone believe in changing their behavior when they have no reason to and while they dislike prison it really fairs little punishment but to those few who are preyed on and many of them are divided from population(Some however are not and receive unfair cruel and unusual punishment). So why should anyone want to change or believe in god when we ourselves show hypocrisy in our hearts and actions how then can such individuals make internal changes needed for true rehabilitation that without released into society after incarcerated actually makes the public more a danger from the inmate who has become psychologically warped from the lifestyle of incarceration and given little helpful tools but to network and make more contacts creating a more intelligent and dangerous criminal Now for legislative logos statistics show increased cost of funding in criminal justice and punishment has in no way reduced crime in fact just the opposite we are seeing a trend of increase 5 times the average we are also seeing a dramatic increase in cost and prison over crowding while sociology experiments are showing that merciful acts in state show a dramatic reduction in crime such examples were taken during the Vietnam war and drug rehab center legislation prior to mandatory minimum sentence concluding it just feels good and costs a lot in fact white color crimes are said to be more expensive to jail then a hospital bill and drug offenders on average are more expensive to jail then rehab programs Yes put away violent offenders but their are alternative punishments to non violent offenders or at least reduced sentencing The real question we should be asking ourselves is what is the correlation between incarceration and crime rates experts say their is none that incarceration does not equal change in behavior so for all our incarceration are we really safer experts say no Can we draw out a public safety plan that is fiscally sane remember your flipping the bill for these people The answer is yes many bills offering programs without sentence or reduced sentence are offered part of religious rehabilitation program even with violent offenders in church services and anger management but because of republicans and conservative Christians this bill has been shot down Also we must come to the moral realization that prison is in no way fair punishment I mean that the punishment is not equal to all inmates and that constitutes a moral ethic of un equal punishment as well as for a select minority cruel and unusual I think corporal punishment if agreed upon should be administered by government not by underground seedy organizations like prison gangs that are obviously cruel and unusual in addition safety regulation has occurred for prison inmates increasing Co Officers and was effective in Texas but the law was later removed by you guessed it Conservative Christian republicans Quote: To repeat same activity expecting different result is insanity. Do we not do that with the aspect of incarceration seeing only increase in prison populations? Note: The Separation of church and state is just a clause How Is Church and State Divided? Ok I know The U.S Constitution right; the first Amendment Congress shall pass no law that is in favor of any religion. but isn't American economics founded on the protestant ethos and don't we have to swear oaths in courts Don't we say god in the pledge of allegiance does it not say in god we trust on our printed money Don't we pass state laws favorable to monotheism like abortion and bans on gay marriage like prop 8 politically hiding it's involvement as to make lies successful like saying it's about the definition of marriage which it was not It was about civil liberty in making a amendment to the state Constitution because a law regarding same sex marriage was over tuned in four case precedents from judges in Northern California. Why have republicans become political candidates of conservative Christian?s Why do we always attribute morality and god to our wars or political projects Why cant we remain in logos of political movements why did feminism take so long why was prohibition passed (more...)

Open Question: Have you ever considered giving up....?
DRIVING?? OMG, ok I wouldn't say that I have "road rage"...really the thought of it is dumb....But I have noticed lately that people are the dumbest when it comes to driving! Im not necessarily talking about people that are in their early 100's either, Im talking about dumb a$s b!tcH ladies that are (maybe even teens), on their cell phones trying to get from one lane to the next without even looking...then you pass them and they are steady talking their life away on the phone. Or how about the funny guy thats on your a$s for no reason at all when your driving on the freeway (express way for some of you)? This angers me the most when Im driving 10 OVER the limit as it is and all other lanes are clear. So I love to slow down even more in front of them, then when they FINALLY decide to move over to the next lane, I step on it leaving them way behind... LOL, I know I get nothing from it but it somehow warms my heart! So I guess if you call that road rage then thats me! So I have just decided, "I may no longer drive". I just get really annoyed. Does this happen to everyone else also or am I just dumb because I'm pregnant and hormonal? If not, have you ever thought of quiting something because peoples actions bring out ANOTHER side of you?? For example, playing a sport, customer service...whatever... BTW, I myself could not (even if I truly wanted to more than anything) give up driving completely.... I live in the Dallas Metroplex and it would be impossible! It was another brilliant idea of mine that i KNOW would fail.... : ( oh well! (more...)

Premier League - Fears for West Ham future Eurosport - Fri, 09 Jan 12:56:00 2009 West Ham owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson's hopes of selling the have suffered a fresh blow after the Premier League announced a new investigation into the Carlos Tevez scandal. More StoriesNew probe into Tevez affair Transfer window: An agent's view The Icelandic banker is looking for buyers to ease his financial problems. But Thursday's announcement of a new inquiry, to be conducted jointly by the FA and the Premier League, is another blow following last year's defeat by Sheffield United in an arbitration tribunal that leaves the Hammers facing a payout of millions in compensation. United have demanded a £50 million payout after successfully arguing that they were relegated as a direct result of West Ham's illegal use of Tevez. The final figure will be decided by the tribunal some time in the spring. This fresh probe raises the prospect of further sanctions that the Upton Park club fear could send them out of business. West Ham were fined £5.5m in 2007 for breaching league rules over third-party agreements in signing Tevez, and the new inquiry will focus on the club's dealings with his representatives after the initial punishment. It follows the arbitration tribunal chaired by Lord Griffiths, who ruled in favour of Sheffield United and pointed the finger at West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury. The key point to be investigated is the evidence provided to the tribunal by lawyer Graham Shear, solicitor for Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian. Shear said that Duxbury had provided verbal assurances, or "oral cuddles", that the third-party agreement still existed - despite the Hammers chief having informed the Premier League that the agreement had been terminated. Griffiths said in his findings: "If the Premier League had known what Mr Duxbury for West Ham was saying to Mr Joorabchian's solicitor following the commission decision, we are confident that the Premier League would have suspended Mr Tevez's registration as a West Ham player. "We have no doubt that those [Tevez's] services were worth at least three points to West Ham over the season and were what made the difference between West Ham remaining in the Premiership and being relegated at the end of the season." The inquiry means West Ham or individuals could face further disciplinary action but the club say they have nothing to hide from the new inquiry. Club insiders acknowledged the need to investigate Griffiths' findings but say they are convinced they can provide the evidence to prevent further disciplinary action. A club statement said: "West Ham United will co-operate fully with the joint inquiry convened by the FA and Premier League. "We have acted in good faith throughout the various inquiries and investigations into this matter and fulfilled the undertakings given to the Premier League following the initial penalty. "We have nothing to hide and will ensure that this is once again reflected in our evidence to the FA and Premier League." West Ham have stood by Duxbury since the arbitration tribunal and said his position is not under review.

Open Question: Any idea what this medal/badge is?
This is supposed to be a military service medal, is what I was told. I've looked on the Internet for service medals, but can't find anything like it. Someone said it might be a badge, not a medal at all. It looks to be solid gold and the clasp is "c" shaped which indicates an old manner of closing the pin. It has the inscription "sic" and "rannis" in the banner. I believe it may be incomplete for sic temper tyrannis possibly. Maybe the original jeweler got carried away buffing it. Any suggestions as to what it iswould be appreciated. Thank you for looking. http://s548.photobucket.com/albums/ii341/GeeQT/?action=view¤t=Estatemedal.jpg (more...)

Open Question: Has anyone ever filed a dispute through the warranty on a Gateway laptop?
Hi...I purchased a Gateway laptop almost two years ago. At the time of my purchase I did not buy an extended warranty but just went with the one-year warranty that came with it. I did renew for an additional year near the anniversary date of my purchase. Well, now it's been almost two years and my extended warranty is about to expire. The problem is this: I have sent my computer in for repairs (the same repair) three times now in the last five months. I don't have it back yet but don't anticipate that it will be fixed completely either. I have one month left on my warranty and would imagine that they'll hang on to it as long as they can. Their customer service hasn't been any better. Innumerable times I've called and they don't even have a record of my machine. My experience with them has been BEYOND belief. I will never buy another Gateway machine. That being said, I'm not ready to just let them off the hook either. According to my warranty documents, if I choose to pursue this, I am required to file a dispute through a third party, which is identified in my warranty. Has anyone else done this? Is it worth my time and hassle? I would even consider being part of a class-action law-suit or something. I can't believe they get away with stuff like this. (more...)

Resolved Question: Please help w/ matching accounting terms with their definitions.....?
In reconciling the bank account of Lane Company Ltd., the accountant had to deal with the following sin items: 1. Outstanding checks. 2. Bank service charges. 3. Check No. 502 was issued in the correct amount of $350 and paid by the bank in that amount but had been incorrectly recorded in Lane Company Ltd.'s accounting records as $530. 4. Collection by bank of note receivable left with bank by Lane Company Ltd. for collection and credited to Lane Company's account. 5. Customers' checks deposited by Lane Company Ltd. but returned by bank marked "NSF." 6. Deposit in transit. Classify each of the above six items under one of the following headings: a) an addition to the balance per the bank statement b) a deduction from the balance per the bank statement c) an addition to the balance per the depositor's records d) a deduction from the balance per the depositor's records. Question #2: Listed below are errors or problems that might occur in the processing of cash transactions. Also shown is a separate list of internal control procedures. a) The bookkeeper of Center Hardware frequently has trouble in getting the bank reconciliation to balance. If the book balance is more than the bank balance, the bookkeeper writes a check payable to Cash and cashes it. If the book balance is less than the bank balance, the bookkeeper makes an accounting entry debiting Cash and crediting Cash Over and Short. b) In serving customers who do not appear to be attentive, a salesclerk often rings up a sale at less than the actual sales amount and then removes the additional cash collected from the customer. c) Without fear of detection, the cashier sometimes removes cash forwarded to him from the mailroom or the sales department instead of depositing these receipts in the company's bank account. d) CJ Spectra, who has prepared bank reconciliations for Brandy's Pub Ltd. for several years has noticed that some checks issued by the company are never presented for payment. Spectra, therefore, has formed the habit of dropping any checks outstanding for more than six months from the outstanding checks list and removing a corresponding amount of cash from the cash receipts. These actions taken together have left the ledger account for cash in agreement with the adjusted bank balance and have enriched Spectra substantially. e) All the cash receipts from Monday through Thursday were lost in a burglary on Thursday night. f) The official designated to sign checks is able to steal blank checks and issue them for unauthorized purposes without fear of detection. g) The monthly bank reconciliation continually shows a difference between the adjusted bank balance and the adjusted book balance because the cashier regularly deposits actual cash receipts, but the debits to the Cash account reflects cash register readings that differ by the amount of errors in making change in cash sales transactions. Internal Control Proceedures: 1-Periodic reconciliation of bank statements to accounting records 2-Use of Cash Over and Short account 3-Adequate subdivision of duties 4-Use of prenumbered sales tickets 5-Depositing each day's cash receipts intact in the bank 6-Use of electronic cash registers equipped with optical scanners to read magnetically coded labels on merchandise 7-Immediate prepareation of a control listing when cash is received, and the comparison of this listing to bank deposits 8-Cancellation of paid invoices at the time of signing the checks 9-Requirement that invoices be initialled as advance authorization of every cash disbursement 10. None of the above control procedures can effectively prevent this type of error or problem from occurring. You can just answer it like: a) #1, etc Please help, the questions may seem long, but the answers are very short. Thx in advanced!! (more...)
