Not long ago I stumbled upon repulsive shoots and videos of amputees. On the one hand, it looks disgusting and weird due to their dissimilarity. But we should take into consideration that they’re live people who run into trouble.

On the other hand, amputee people are greatly in need of human help and understanding. I’ve got an acquaintance that has to move only by the use of an invalid carriage. I’m not sure whether such people need a pity or something like that.

The web area is full of various amputee online video clips. For what purposes do they upload the like videos? I can number some reasons why such videos are in demand:

- Amputees make themselves known as talented people

- Paralyzed people proved to be good sportsmen

Surfing the web and looking for amputee online video clips, a disabled man finds out that he/she is not hopeless. For example, video guides are catered to such people to learn how to live among the like throughout the world.

At devguide.org you’ll find out many related links. Amputee disabled women are capable of working with fitness programs for people with disabilities, invite to visit social clubs and support groups. They make extra money online at the expense of photo sets sale.

Google directory also presents a lot of links devoted to amputees. Different specialized web-sites are catered for amputees, amputee education and support groups. Promote the full participation of the disabled and the issue of accessibility. Loads of links.

The most important point, however, is that perverts are able to use these videos to suit their own ends. Which ones? Alas, I can’t answer this question.

Be careful sharing your private video collection on the web, because your face may become a part of one’s home video collection like porno clips.

If you”ll be asked a question, “How many card games movies can you name?”, - what would you answer? I believe just about everybody can easily remember a pair of films related to card-players or gambling somehow or other. Surely, professional gamblers probably know many more motion pictures. Okay, what playing-card games you can recollect? Put out of your head!

All movies display big bets and winnings with great hands. Writers and producers have an intention to attract and delight by arousing interest to this kind of activity. Hollywood often uses gambling, but rarely shows realistic card playing. I believe, real aces and amateurs at poker, fool, bridge, preference, etc. probably take advantage of such movies.

The most important point, however, is that such card-playing movies are great helpers if you have an eager desire to learn these technical skills. Live and learn. At the same time, you see only the most spectabulous moments in movies, that’s why, for example, poker films are not realistic, but very exciting. By the way, a number of films are poker oriented ones.

What else? Main heroes and characters put up a show of how they’re skilled at gambling. I picked up a great many movies devoted to the best card playing scenes. I tried to sort out those ones that related to gambling one way or another. (Most of these movies can be ordered via Amazon.com and imdb.com).

• Rounders (1998). In The Game Of Life… Play The Cards You’re Dealt. I find this film really exciting, but the main character leaves much to be desired. By the way, the term “rounder” refers to a person whose sole means of earning a living is by playing cards. Some poker scenes are useful, some – absurd. But with the growing popularity of Texas Hold’em and other poker games, Rounders has become a cult hit. That’s we don’t pay much attention to slip-ups.

• The cooler (2003). When your life depends on losing… the last thing you need is lady luck. The film follows a so-called Las Vegas casino “cooler” who spreads bad luck to those who are winning. William H. Macy plays the titular character, whose luck takes a turn for the better when he begins a relationship with a waitress at the casino, played by Maria Bello. This causes friction between him and his boss, played by Alec Baldwin. “The Cooler” is a must to see just for Alec Baldwin’s memorable play.

• Maverick (1994). The greatest gambler in the West has finally met his match. I bet you won’t find any realistic poker scenes in this movie, but still Mel Gibson does all his best (as usually) to win the heart of the audience following his own style of performance. Bret Maverick (as Mel Gibson) is a professional card-player traveling to a major poker game. He wants to win the poker championship for money and to prove that he is the best. The plot is rather shabby, but the play is too funny. All of the poker episodes are Five Card Draw.

• The Cincinnati Kid (1965). He’d take on anyone, at anything, anytime ….it was only a matter of who came first! Eric Stoner or The Cincinnati Kid (as Steve McQueen) is a professional card-player who travels to New Orleans to play in the high stakes poker game against Lancey Howard (as Edward G. Robbins). Surely, The Cincinnati Kid tries to prove himself in this high-stakes match. The game throughout the film is Five Card Stud. It should be mentioned, that the play is quite realistic. But even look back those days we can’t but agree that poker was considered a sport.

• The Big Blind (1999). “This remarkable adventure will keep you guessing. Who cashes in, and who cashes out… Who will live, and who will die?” This movie is truly shot for poker players. It’s not for guys who are interested in actions and like watching films in general, but for curious about poker. To tell the truth the Big Blind offers a lot of training scenes. The motion picture tells us about the lives of poker players at a California card room. The drama of the situation is that most of the characters are losers and crooks. It is of great value due to realistic scenes and actors’ play. Nothing unnecessary, nothing colors the truth.

• Honeymoon in Vegas (1992). It’s a love that’s All Shook Up! The film is opposite to the previous one due to its attitude to poker. Jack Singer (as Nicholas Cage) teamed up with a wealthy gambler (as James Caan) love the one girl. The problem is that Singer’s fiancé reminds the gambler of his ex-wife. Tommy Korman arranges for Singer to lose $65k to him a poker game (they’re playing no limit five card draw). Thus, Singer has to break his word given to his mother on her death bed that he would never get married.

• The Sting (1973). Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES. He had to make a SWITCH. We can’t let him get away with that. The Sting should be estimated at its true worth being among the best poker pictures ever made. Frankly speaking, it’s not about poker, but it contains one famous poker scene where Henry Gondorff (as Paul Newman) cheats the crime boss in a high-stakes game onboard a train, and also a scene where he shows off a very skilled cheat shuffling. As I have said there was not that much poker playing shown, and most of it revolved around cheating. The poker was limited to five card draw.

• High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story (2003). Gambler. Addict. Loser. Legend. The movie is about the life of master card-player, self-destructive junkie, Stu Ungar (as Michael Imperioli). Ungar was known as “The Kid”, who high-rolled himself to an unequalled three World Series of Poker championships, winning a reported $30 million is his brief career. Viewship can’t but agree that Unger had a special gift with cards.

• The Madison Kid (2007). In 1989, the 24-year-old Phil Hellmuth became the youngest World Champion of Poker by defeating the two-time defending champion, Johnny Chan, in the World Series of Poker main event. Hellmuth attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years before dropping out to play poker full time much to the chagrin of his father, a professor at the school.

• 21 (2008). This film is based on a true story, telling us about a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor (Kevin Spacey) who teaches a group of students to use mathematics to count cards and increase their odds of winning at Las Vegas casinos. The students are able to bring home millions as a result.

Decide on a film approppriate to your mood. Find out more about those card-playing movies that you still didn’t watch. Keep an eye open for the next poker movie selection.

Not long ago a very stunning team has created a TV experience on the web. I’m gonna talk about an eminent and ‘half-witted’ guy in hip-hop industry – musician and actor Ice Cube, who together with his permanent helpmeet (legendary DJ Pooh) launched the world’s first real-streaming TV network UVNTV.com (U View Network Television).

Surely this project couldn’t be realized without receiving a powerful backing from Microsoft (Besides, Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo to become even more popular search engine on the web holding Google back). The project operates by means of Silverlight platform, a cross-browser plug-in for delivering profound viewers experiences on the web. The whole point is that it’s the world’s first network broadcasting cable and satellite television.

Moreover, UVNTV.com is a unique real-time broadband social TV network offering such splashes like full screen DVD quality resolution, Dolby surround sound, ability to bookmark channels and shows, invite friends, channel widgets, statistical data. It’s an opportunity to show your talents, a home for amateur filmmakers and music makers, a place where fans meet with their idols online.

John Case, general manager, Developer Division, Microsoft Corp., says: “We are thrilled to work with Ice Cube and DJ Pooh, both whom have proven track records and have been at the forefront in music, film and television. We see UNVTV as a leading example of the changing landscape of how consumers experience entertainment, and how the industry is seeking new interactive platforms to better reach their target audiences.”

Ice Cube calls UVNTV a mix of YouTube and MySpace.

In conclusion it should be emphasized that interested parties predict a great future on the topic of the project. First off, they made use of user-generated content and created social video site to attain a targeting audience. Another one strong reason is that likewise living sites like Snoop Dogg’s Snoopadelic TV, fashion designer Christian Audigier’s Live TV and Ice Cube’s own Hip Hop 24/7 TV can’t compete with UVNTV.com.
