Should flags be made public?

I've made a
in the past asking this question, and for the most part, people said that it was a good idea.
Some said that incorporating this would be too complicated, but I know all it would take would be to add a name to a list once someone flags the topic. Others said that there would be a privacy issue, but privacy isn't an issue when dealing with a conspiracy website. As much information as possible should be revealed on this site as long as it doesn't interfere with one's security, and seeing who flagged seems more beneficial than decremental. In fact, people can already see what users flagged what topics by clicking on their user page - this would just make things a little bit easier.
I did not see a "Suggestions" forum on ATS, so I'm hoping this is in the proper forum to ask this type of question. Moderator input is appreciated, but I'd like further user input as well. I believe this can only be positive for the majority here on ATS.

At the moment you can't see who flagged such and such thread. But if you go to a member's profile, you can see a list of the last 8 threads flagged by that member.
Btw, suggestions can be submitted via the "
Complain / Suggestion
" feature in the member center

Yeah, I already mentioned that you can see their flags by clicking on their user page. I will take your reference, though, and send a feedback through the "Complain / Suggestion" feature, so thanks for telling me that.

I don't think that would add to the "Flag" concept in a positive way.
I could see people starting to flag other posts because the author had flagged their post. The "flag system" was started to show appreciation for a good post. Just knowing somebody appreciated your post/thoughts
be enough.
It could change the whole concept of the flag system from one of appreciation of an informative/interesting post to one of "paying back" a member who flagged your post. Then some people might stop flagging other peoples posts if they don't see that member flagging theirs.
I personally think it's better the way it is.

Otoh, to think that there is not a "buddy system" of flagging and starring is to be naive, imo. People star and flag just because they are a friend of the author.
I see no problem with "mousing over" a star or flag to see who the donor is.
posted on Jul, 19 2008 @ 07:27 PM
I really don't see any reasons that flags should be made public. The whole point of flagging a thread IMO is to flag it so you can look back at it later. It shouldn't be made person except for perhaps maybe the OP of the thread. I don't think that it would be necessary to make the flags public any further to the extent of that.

If the star and flag system remains anonymous (secret) then there will always be doubt and uncertainty as to how it functions and who or what is controlling the system. The people who are in control of the system (the used car salesmen) can tell us that the car was last owned by a little old lady from Pasadena, but we have only their word on that and no proof.
Suppose the system is made more transparent. The system is still controlled by the same small group of people who have access to the hardware and software. For that reason there will still be a group of people here and elsewhere that will claim conspiracy or foul play.
To quote the site owners, "we're damned if we do, we're damned if don't".
The only solution is the elimination of the star and flag system. But if that happens, then how will people know what to read and what to ignore? How will people know what is popular and what is not? How will people know what to think and what to do if someone else does not tell them what to think and what to do?
ATS grew into the position they are in today without the aid of the star and flag and wats systems. They managed this in part because past members took the time and made the effort to think for themselves. If the star and flag system were to be removed today then the current members would once again have to start thinking for themselves. Many of the current members do not have the time or ability to do that, so current membership would begin to dwindle.
If current membership begins to dwindle then the revenue they help generate will dwindle accordingly. If it dwindles too much then ATS would have to stop its expansion. If it continues to dwindle then ATS would have to pull back from projects already started, until they reach that point of equilibrium where the membership is once again primarily composed of people who are willing and able to put the time and effort needed into the work that they do here.
If that were to happen then ATS would be the "old" ATS, a much smaller forum populated by people who were sincere in their quest for truth and who took the deny ignorance concept seriously. But ATS has no desire to be the "old" forum. They have made it quite clear that they wish to be a large, profitable, multi media information and entertainment distributor. Since that is their goal, the star and flag system will stay in place as it facilitates that goal. At least until something better comes along.
As far as the content being starred and flagged by members goes, my Grandpa used to tell me, "boy, if you aint good nuff without it, you sure as bleep wont be good nuff with it"

Flag or not to Flag, That is the question.
........... I see both points clearly and each side has a valid reason, But It is all still in the hands of the powers that be......... Give it a little time and we will see there decision...........

LMAO at your avatar!
As to the flags.. I'm fine with it the way it is. Jsobecky is right, there's definitely a buddy system. I have a close friend who joined ATS this year and I try and support his posts through replies or flags. Yes part of it is because I'm his friend so it's human nature. But I would not flag a thread (even from a close friend) if I 100% thought it was nonsense. Likewise, I try and support newer members in general (through flags/replies) just because they are new! Long time contributors have the posting history and social networking already in place. It's not like I avoid their posts... just pay a little more attention to newbies so they feel welcome.
Personally, I think the flagging system is fine the way it is.

Scramjet 76, please understand that I am not targeting or attacking you in any way. I am simply using you and the groups mentioned below as examples only. For that I wish to thank you for your sincere and honest contribution to this discussion.
As I understand it, the OP's concern is that the star and flag system could be misused by certain peoples or groups in order to elevate one point of view to front page status, while lowering another point of view into obscurity.
That type of power, being able to manipulate the "page rank" of certain views or opinions, is frightening to some people. Imagine having that type of power over Google, or CNN, or, as we are discussing here, ATS, the worlds largest and number one portal for CT and Alternative Topics.
Now I would like to use you as an example, please do not be offended, this is not an attack against you. You state that your staring and flagging habits are biased. You tend to star and flag friends and new members as opposed to long time contributors. I believe that many people do this and that you are not alone in your habits. But suppose you (or they) had ten friends? Twenty five friends? One hundred friends?
Now it is no longer just a couple of buddies being polite to each other, now it is a group of people. Perhaps this group is organized in some way. Perhaps the thing that makes them friends in the first place is membership in some non ATS organization, say, the Mormons, or the Military, or the NRA. Publicly they lead their ATS lives just like the rest of us, but privately they are united in their star and flag habits.
Let us add to the danger of the situation. Suppose that this imaginary group of people has a leader with an agenda. The leader, and only the leader, is actively reading the contents of ATS and from that content determines how they would like the front page of ATS to look, the stories and discussions they would like to see there, the articles they would like Google to take special interest in and so on. The leader emails the members of the group (let us call them MOUSEKETEERS) and the group of Mouseketeers run over here and star and flag threads and posts as per their leaders instructions (without even reading the contents of the post, as you take the time to do, Scramjet 76)
This is an extremely simple thing for any group of organized people to do (religions, militaries, governments, all of those people we talk about in our CT discussions, and let us not forget "board wars". Members from other forums could infiltrate ATS and use this system to attack ATS and us).
This is a valid concern of the OP and of many other people. Requesting a greater degree of transparency is not unreasonable. Giving the membership the ability to track and trend who is starring what would be a good thing. It would give us, the membership, the tools, the ability, and the responsibility to deny ignorance for ourselves. Currently we are in the dark and ignorant about this subject. That cannot be considered a good thing.
And let us never forget, no matter how transparent the owners are or allow the system to be, there will always be groups of people who will shout foul. Just because we roll our mouse over a star and see a members name pop up (or something) there will still be those people who say that it is "fixed" or "rigged" or in some way false. Should that be used as a reason to not implement a greater degree of transparency? Personally, I think not. They (the owners) can never win. But the day they stop trying to win is the day we all lose.

To Hellmutt Super Moderator who made this statement:
Flags are semi-public, as the last 8 threads you've flagged are listed in your profile.
I must say that I am ashamed of you. Are you seriously suggesting that concerned members wade through 150,000 member profiles to find the 100 people who are driving a certain thread to the top of the list? Also, what about the last eight hundred threads flagged by that member? That is valuable data.
Which brings me to my conclusion. Anyone who as spent any time here is aware of the fact that the site owners are very interested in demographics. They keep very accurate records and statistics. Primarily this information is used for marketing purposes, but tracking and trending habits are also used for things like page layout, overall site design and so on.
As such, I find it all but impossible to believe that the data that is being requested by the OP (who is staring and flagging what) is not already on record and readily availible to the owners. This is priceless data from a managerial point of view. Not only priceless, but required. The owners and management simply have to know who is staring and flagging what in order to insure that the above hypothetical Mouseketeer scenario never takes place here.
If they do not have that data readily availible to them then they are being irresponsible to their membership and in their stewardship of this board. If that is the case then they need to be called on it and a system needs to be implemented asap.
If they do have that data readily availible to them and they are withholding that data from their membership then they are being irresponsible to their membership and in their stewardship of this board. If that is the case then they need to be called on it and a public inquiry into why that data has been kept from us needs to made asap.
Since no one has actually asked, point blank, allow me to be the first. Does ATS keep records of who stars and flags what? If no, why not? If yes, why is this information not made public?
As I have said, they are "damned if they do, damned if they don't"

This is one awesome drawing of Spurs' Tiago Splitter
Written by Jeff Garcia on .
Not to take anything away from Project Spurs' very own Jesse Blanchard. Trust me, he is one great artist but this drawing of San Antonio Spurs' Tiago Splitter ranks right up there in the "coolness" spectrum.
Check out this drawing of Splitter in a mixed Spurs-Team Brazil jersey. Though with no pupils in his eyes, he does look a bit spooky and souless.
(via Splitter Twitter)
I got a PORTRAT TATTOO of Tim Duncan on my leg, So i decided to share the artwork and dedication with you guys and instead you do an article on a wooden tiago splitter DRAWING? SMH....
Spooky and soulless ? Heavy art words that are beyond my reach ! It does make him look mean and like a machine. "The Brazilian Terminator" If he plays like that next season we will hoist a banner !

2 Previews Remaining! Watch Terri Jane's Full Movie Now!
Terri Jane For XLGirls.co
March 25th, 2011
The absolutely sensational, beyond-mere-words Terri Jane is now in the XLGirls house. What an eyeful this British handful is. Terri lives in a small town near Birmingham, England. Many magnificent bra-busters come from England, most recently Dors Feline, Karla James and Ashley Sage Ellison, and further back in time, Kerry Marie, Jessica Turner, Linsey Dawn, Denise Davies, Samantha Sanders and many more. Only 21 years-old, Terri recognized the wonderfulness of her tits so breast-men around the world should be grateful that she was never swept up by a dude and kept all to himself, away from the cameras. No, Terri likes sharing and hopefully she will continue to share for the next few years. Now is not the time to wonder and worry about how long she will model or how hot she will get in the future. Now is the time to savor those fantastic 43 inch, 30K gazombas! Savor! Enjoy! Relish! At only 5'2", Terri's tits look even bigger. Terri has it all. A beautiful face, and pretty eyes and hair; a round, sexy ass; shapely legs and a sexy tummy. Terri says she's kinky and freaky and horny. She also says she loves her tits, which is music to the breast-man's ear, because so many busty girls are trained to loathe their treasures by evil forces in society. In this vid, shot in the sunny Dominican Republic, Terri's boobs have intense contrast. She has tan-lines from wearing her swimsuit and her whiter shade of pale parts are decorated by her awesome veins and silver dollar areolae. These are the kind of tits coveted by tit-fanatics worldwide, the kind a man can suck on and play with all day. Terri swings 'em, touches 'em and creams 'em in this intro XLGirls.com video and she, like Kerry and Linsey, really knows how to say the things we tit-men want to hear. If you love Brit accents, consider that another bonus. Terri Jane was made for the camera. This is her time in the sun, her moment. Thank you, Terri, and thank you, God.

corporate lobby victory in brussels: a step forward
Calling it a step in the right direction, FoE Europe said the second Communication on the European Transparency Initiatve (ETI) was nonetheless too weak and limited, given the EU's global relevance and organised lobby groups' influence over EU policies. In particular, FoE Europe criticized the voluntary approach favoured by the Commission as beeing too weak and too limited.
FoE's Christine Pohl from Friends of the Earth said, "By first trying out a voluntary lobbying register, the European Commission is making EU citizens wait several more years before they get effective EU lobbying transparency. The whole system depends on an appeal to the lobbyists' conscience or their fear of damaging their reputation. But those that want to stay in the shadows will never register or disclose financial information on a voluntary basis."
Instead, FoE Europe and the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation in the EU believe the Commissions must make precise requirement on lobbyists to disclose relevant financial information on budgets, clients, and/or funding sources. A requirement to disclose income per client has been strongly opposed by the for-profit lobbyists, even though in the US similar obligations for lobbying firms have worked well.
A few weeks previous to the communication, the Commission took an important step towards improving transparency on special advisers, by releasing a list of 55 names of special advisers to the Commission and ensuring they had no conflicts of interest. However, much remains to be done to improve transparency and ensure a balanced composition of the many expert groups advising the Commission. Regrettably, the Communication on the ETI does not put forward specific proposals in this area.

Mikki's Original has been in demand since a snip was first unveiled on SoundCloud some months back and i've been wanting to get my hands on it since then. The new Kool Vibe remix applies a similar formula to his "House Fever" track and comes up with an instant winner whilst "If I Ever" bumps along nicely with lush pads and sweet vocal hooks, reminiscent of a 90's styled Nice 'N' Ripe Dub. It's hard to pick a winner here so i'm giving all tracks a 10/10, this is a must have package".

Pentair Introduces New Hybrid DI System With crosscharge Technology
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Pentair, Inc. (NYSE: PNR), a global leader in water treatment solutions, today unveiled its new Hybrid Deionization (Hybrid DI) system with Pentair's CrossCharge technology, the first electronic water purification system that is practical for residential applications. Hybrid DI systems using CrossCharge technology will be the first to offer consumers the benefits of a reverse osmosis (RO) system and those of a water softener without requiring salt.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100708/CG32032LOGO)
The CrossCharge technology within Pentair's Hybrid DI system was developed through a partnership with the Dutch firm Voltea. The company has licensed the technology exclusively to Pentair in residential and light commercial applications for point-of-entry products. The new technology uses capacitive electrodes to remove hardness and purify water without employing salt. The core of the system is Voltea's patented "stack" configuration of electrodes combined with ion-selective membranes. The treatment sequence begins with the purification step. This occurs as untreated water flows through the cell where ions are drawn through the membranes and absorbed in the charged electrodes, producing high quality treated water. The electrodes automatically regenerate when the system reverses its polarity. This drives the ions out of the electrodes and flushes them from the stack. The polarity is then reset to normal to start purification again. To see an animated illustration of the system, click here.
The state-of-the-art CrossCharge technology within this Hybrid DI system is driven by a Pentair developed, advanced micro-controller using an array of sensors to monitor and manage all system and water quality parameters in real time. The technology continuously assesses the inlet and treated water quality, controls the power supplied to the stack, and adjusts operating cycles and system flows to continuously optimize performance. The controller includes self-diagnostics and auto clean cycles. It also features a full-color touch screen user interface with animated "User" displays that are intuitive for the everyday user/homeowner and interactive "Technical" screens for system maintenance providers.
"Our business is providing clean, safe water for all and we strive to manufacture products that are kind to the environment. Our Hybrid DI system achieves just that," said Alok Maskara, president of Pentair's Residential Filtration business. "Since it treats water without salt, there is no net increase in discharged total dissolved solids. It also produces 90 percent less waste water than a conventional whole house reverse osmosis system." When asked about the term "Hybrid DI", Maskara responded, "we call it a 'hybrid' DI system because it combines the functionality of an RO system with that of a water softener, but without using salt. It is the first system to offer that combination and the first to purify water without salt. It's also much more efficient than conventional RO systems and, since it uses no salt, it's very environmentally friendly."
Perhaps most significantly, consumers using Pentair's Hybrid DI system will be able to enjoy great tasting, bottled-quality water throughout the entire home, a benefit not offered by any currently existing product.
Pentair's vice president for technology, Phil Rolchigo, hailed the product's launch as an important milestone for the global corporation. "Being first to market with this innovative technology is an excellent illustration of Pentair's ongoing leadership position in the water treatment industry," he said. "Our CrossCharge technology is convenient, green and delivers clearly appreciable consumer benefits."
Pentair's Hybrid DI system with CrossCharge technology inside is expected to become available in consumer products in 2012.

RPM Tick
I realize the chevy tick tick has been beat to death. So here is one to make you think a little. I have an 06 silver with 40000 miles on it. Runs strong, pulls great, rides nice. Great vehicle. Recently i have noticed a knock or tick coming in at 2000 to 2500 rpm's. Anything before is fine anything after is fine. Seems to have some kind of a small vibration a tad under 2000 then the tick starts. I was thinking exhaust or something small like that. Took it to dealership, nothing found. They checked for exhaust leaks, checked flywheel, all of the simple stuff. Nothing found. (I am currently out of town so it will go to my hometown dealership when I get home. can't let them rip her open here or I won't get home for a while.) Anyway, strange sound happening at a strange point in the rpm range. You can go down the highway and she purrs like a sweet kitty, you punch it and you get around 2000 to 2500 and tick tick tick. Any thoughts.....

Relationships between the structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of Si-aC:H thin films
Silicon-incorporated amorphous hydrocarbon (Si-aC:H) films with varying Si contents were deposited onto a Ti interlayer on Si and steel substrates by reactive sputtering in an unbalanced magnetron sputtering system. The objective of this study was to measure and relate the structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of these Si-aC:H films. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Si-aC:H phase is amorphous and TiC exists at the Si-aC:H/Ti phase boundary for all compositions. Mechanical properties such as hardness, indentation modulus, and intrinsic stress decreased with increasing Si and H content in the films, for Si/C ≥ 0.04. XPS measurements suggested that this is most likely due to the decreasing presence of a C-C sp3 interlinked network, accompanied by an increase in C-H and Si-H bonds. This conclusion was supported by radial distribution functions obtained using extended electron energy-loss fine structure analysis (EXELFS).

Topic: Beowulf
As seen in Beowulf, describe what transpires in the mead hall to provoke the anger of the monster.
1 Answer | add yours
The monster in Beowulf is called Grendel. Grendel has been exiled by God for being a descendant of Cain (the original murderer of the world). Since it was the actions of his ancestors which forced his exile, Grendel is not accepting of anyone who is able to live within God's light.
Since Heorot was built by Hrothgar to celebrate God, only those who are welcome in God's light are able to take part in the celebrations at the mead hall. Since exiled, Grendel is not allowed to approach the throne of God (within the walls of Heorot).
The Danes, celebrating life and God's power, provoke Grendel's wrath. The constant celebrations by the Danes tormented Grendel. Since he was unable to celebrate in God's light, the constant reminder of his exile proved to be far more than he could take. Grendel could only enact his anger against the mead hall and those who celebrated within its walls.

Claustrophobia: finding your way out by Andrea Perry
This book provides hope and help for people who fear and avoid confined spaces. Written by therapist and consultant Andrea Perry, Andrea speaks honestly about her own experience of claustrophobia, and draws on the views of others who have experienced similar anxiety and overcome it.
Andrea Perry has delivered a helpful and detailed understanding of claustrophobia. Recounting her own early experiences and the distress and debilitating anxiety that claustrophobia triggers, this warm, empathic book offers a healthy understanding of the phobia, the therapies and self-help strategies that exist to build confidence and overcome the overwhelming sense of dread that it generates. From elevators to MRI scans (which can initiate claustrophobia in the most resilient individual) the reader is encouraged to recognise their personal reactions to the content as a means of improving their skill in managing the anxiety.

The UN Human Rights Council last week passed its first-ever resolution to protect the free speech [JURIST report] of individuals online. The resolution was approved by all 47 members of the council, including China and Cuba, which have been criticized for limiting Internet freedom. Last month the Chinese Ministry of Information and Technology revealed its proposed changes to Chinese Internet law [JURIST report] that seek to limit the ability of users to post anonymous comments on micro-blogs and forums. A Bangkok criminal court in May sentenced [JURIST report] Chiranuch Premchaiporn, webmaster of independent Internet news site Prachatai, to an eight-month suspended sentence for failing to delete defamatory comments against Thailand's royal family. Earlier that month, a Dutch court ordered [JURIST report] Internet service providers in the Netherlands to block the file-sharing website The Pirate Bay or else pay a fine of USD $12,750 per day.

Parking: There isn't much to complain about parking. Some of the lots are not necessarily well-designed but they get the job done and support the demand of the campus.
Parking: The parking enforcement here is very strict. I've been given tickets for parking in my zone but in a "undesignated spot" Can be ridiculous at times and the fees are very steep.
Parking: The need for a car on campus is minimal--the only student parking is by the dorms (which means we have to walk to class or take the bus, but the exercise is a good thing). However, if you ever want to get off campus, you will either need a car or a friend with a car.
Parking: The cheap parking is far away. The close parking permits are ridiculously expensive ($450 for the parking deck).
Parking: Most dorms have parking lots extremely close. There are also generic lots for people who live off campus to park in that are close to classes.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Josh Morris
Students say parking is the worst thing about UA. Getting a parking tag is easy and inexpensive, but depending on where you live could make it difficult to park. Students living off campus get commuter parking tags, and these lots are usually full. But, if you get to the lots right when classes get out or if you take early classes, then you should find a spot. For the students living on campus, get used to walking because there is not a lot of parking. Don't panic, the school is compact, so the walk is not bad.
On or off campus, students recommend you walk or park someplace for the day and walk from there to classes. If you are set on driving, then leave early and wait for students to get out of class, then park in their space. Parking is tough at UA since there are more spots for faculty than there is for students. Students suggest walking so you do not have to worry about traffic.

My First Product!
Hi all! I'm new on the 3Dstudio.com. I'm Ranez. I'm 15 years almost 16! old and I live in The Netherlands. I am doing 3D modelling for a couple of years. I made in that period a lot of 3D models. One time I thought about it to delete them all, because it is a waste of space. Then I heard about selling it on the internet! I immediately made an account on the 3Dstudio. I picked an old bookcase model and I refined it so it was good for selling! I rendered a few images, exported the file and then, finally... I put it on the online!=D I am really happy to see my 3Dmodel, as a real product online:! Now it's time to refine some other old models and make new ones, so I can put more online! I just have to wait that someone buys my bookcase..
PS. Is it possible to accept Custom Requests?
Thanks for reading,
It's been a long time..

Hi all!
It was almost two years ago since I made my first product..
What I've been doing al that time? I worked on my school and played a lot on the drums, but I never stopped modelling!
I'm 17 years old now and worked a long time on a new model:
Roman Ancient Colosseum Reconstruction (3D Model)
I think it worked out pretty well actually, worth the effort I guess.
But there it stands now next to my 3 bookcases, which I made 2 years ago haha.
So what do you think of the model? And is the price to much/less?
I do love to hear some feedback from you!
Thanks for reading,
Reader comments:
Lisa @ The3dStudio.com
Welcome, Ranez! We are glad to have you and your models here at The3dStudio.com and hope to see more your models as you create them.
Starting a blog is a good way to bring attention to your models.
If you have not already done so, remember to read Matt's selling tips and also check the reports on last 100 searches which might help you get some idea for future models.
Good luck!
Your work is incredible. I love it! Could you please tell us how much time did you spend on the reconstruction of the Colosseum? Could you also share the sources/books/links with dimensions of the model.
Great work!
Thanks smicha! I'm glad you like it =)
The Colosseum took me very long though..
I think it took me a month/ 2 months if I worked on it al day?
I first made a simple version for a school project, that model took me about 17 hours. Then the hard part came when I decided to refine it and make everything perfect for selling. That took me verryy long! (I sold it 5 months later from the day my school project ended, but I didn't work on it all the time ofcourse)
For some of the sources (pictures), I suggest you visit this page:
I started a thread about it there, so if you like more information, it is fun to read:) (My username there is 'JVI')
For other sources, like dimensions, I used some internet sites. For example I looked up the Wikipedia page and then looked up the sources. But I don't know exactly which sites I used.. I also used my schoolbooks. But the problem was that there were different dimensions on different sources. The differences were like 0,5 meters, so nothing to worry about. But I still decided to take the average dimensions of all the sources I used.
Thanks for reading and I'm really glad you like it!

Heat occupies an exalted position among the countless contemporary crime films.
Robert De Niro's last great role before he devoted himself to self-parody.
This is simply the best American crime movie -- and indeed, one of the finest movies, period -- in over a decade.
As Heat progresses, its sensational looks pale beside storytelling weaknesses that expose the more soulless aspects of this cat-and-mouse crime tale.
Michael Mann and a superlative cast have taken a classic heist movie rife with familiar genre elements and turned it into a sleek, accomplished piece of work, meticulously controlled and completely involving.
Heat generates lots of energy but gives off little light.
The conversation in Heat is one of the most perfectly executed and eloquently intertextual moments in the history of American Cinema.
A stealth epic, framing an urban jungle and making its own kind of contemporary history by pairing acting giants Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in what has arguably become the preminent cops-and-robbers movie. [Blu-ray]
Quite rightly, this confirmed Mann as one of Hollywood's smartest, most stylish and emotionally articulate directors.
I have always wondered if Pacino and De Niro flipped a coin before the movie began shooting to see which of them would play which part?
A slow-moving, overburdened, well-meant and at times quite entertaining slog.
The director's signature sleek and romantic aesthetic is reason enough to take a seat for this operatic three-hour marathon.
Fascinante por se concentrar em dois homens que, obcecados por suas profiss�es, acabam dependendo um do outro justamente por n�o saberem fazer outra coisa.
I admire Mann's emotional commitment and his sense of style, but it also grates on me.
With De Niro and Pacino in excellent form, Mann's Heat ignites the screen.
De Niro delivers a frightening vision of frosty criminal efficiency.
It is a remarkably powerful, entertaining and invigorating piece of cinema that hits on more levels than seemingly possible.
Heat Heat has an intoxicating, seductive look and feel, and if viewers can check their brains at the door, it succeeds on a surface level.
...one of the greatest crime films of all time.
Echoes the tradition of American individualists.
An insightful dramatic look at the relationship between cops, criminals, and the women in their lives.
Riveting cops-and-robbers tale.
The action, just like in any great film, is subservient to plot and characters.
Audience Reviews for Heat
Super Reviewer
It's a more fleshed out and richer version of his TV production L.A. Takedown concerning two groups of people and their leaders: one being super slick professional thieves, and the other being highly determined and driven police officers. It takes the standard good versus evil story, ramps it up to the max, and throws in tons and tons of character development, atmosphere, and some of the most well done, realistic, and accurate gun play in motion picture history. This is all very rich, complex, and very compelling. It's a film both for those who like to think, and those who love a solid crime drama.
It also has the great selling point of being the first film to feature De Niro Pacino sharing screentime together. Granted, this selling point is dated, but compared to Righteous Kill (which has them on screen together longer), this one really gets it right and doesn't overdo the joy of seeing them face off.
The cast are firing on all cylinders here, making their characters, good or bad, interesting, sympathetic, and worth watching. Honestly, I'm really torn between which group I'd rather root for more, which I think is a great sign of brilliant work. Nothing is totally black and white, and each side has their pros and cons. Mann has encyclopedic knowledge of crime, criminals, cops, and police procedure, and it shows. There's a high level of attention to detail, and it really makes one appreciate the time and care that went into all this.
But of course, at nearly three hours, and with a fairly leisurely pace, this could prove to be too slow and boring for some. Honestly, I'm really not bothered by it, Sure, my patience sometimes begins to waver during the third act, but I have seen this several times, so maybe it's just a personal issue, and a bit of burn out.
Mann's trademark mood and atmosphere building tools are pitch perfect here, with some of the best and most expressive lighting and camera placement ever seen in a crime drama, or other type of film for that matter. And of course, one of the other main selling points: the superb action scenes. Granted, the movie isn't wall to wall action, but that's not the point. In fact, a lot of the film is made up of lengthy, quiet scenes with tons of yakking, and even more scenes with no talking, just letting the mood wash over the viewer and draw them into this hypnotic world. However, when this film delivers the action goods, it really delivers them, with the gunfights being intense, wild, loud, and jarring...like they're supposed to be.
Just see this film already. There's only so many ways I can think of to call this brilliant before it becomes redundant.

"Heat" is hardly your average cops and robbers tale. It's long, it's sweeping and is steeped in character moments and conversations. While much of the hype about the film has always revolved around its finale - the bank robbery - it's the small moments that make the film. Take for instance a scene in the middle of the film where Pacino, too tired and beat down to do anything else, tracks down his suspect (De Niro) and invites him for a cup of coffee where the two talk shop and in spite of mutual respect for one another, both vow not to back down. This moment serves to build the tension that is the big pay-off in the film. You get to know and feel for these very real and very flawed characters, so that when the heat is on, so to speak, you don't know who to cheer for anymore.
Undeniably, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are the stars of the film and are a large part of its greatness, but it is also Michael Mann's ("Collateral," "Manhunter") unique eye and story-telling sense that defines the film as well. Despite his insuppressible style, the film still retains a gritty, realistic air that is best evidenced in a shootout that takes place in the Los Angeles streets. Without a doubt, this is the director's masterpiece and definitely one of the best of its kind. It's a true epic that is filed to the brim with intense acting (nobody's forgotten about you either, Val) and complicated characters as intricate as the job they are trying to do. For all intents and purposes, "Heat" lives up to its name. 5 stars 5-24-13

Thomas J. Wilson II
I have been working at Allstate full-time
Pros – Growth opportunities, good work/life balance
Cons – Growth opportunities require an advocate
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Allstate full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great work-life balance - I work from home once a week, get 20 days of PTO, have flexible hours. Essentially, if you get your work done, you are fine.
Great benefits - Good priced HDHP health plan, dental, vision, etc. Pension PLUS 401(k) match. Tuition reimbursement.
Great facilities - Home office has very nice facilities. Remodeled cafe, full-service Starbucks and Red Mango, onsite doctor and pharmacy, barber, etc. Very convenient.
Good pay - Allstate has been extremely generous with pay raises and promotional opportunity. I feel I am rewarded for my hard work. Allstate seems to be ramping up their seriousness for retaining top talent.
Good recognition - Allstate Technology has a great peer to peer recognition program that allows you to receive items from a catalog and cash bonuses. There is also a trip rewarded to those who come out on top. Departments also receive a hefty budget for recognizing their employees throughout the year.
Employee Resource Groups - Allstate encourages employees to join various employee resource groups, groups that help develop employees professionally and personally.
Cons – Individual contributors do not receive bonuses or stock options. Would be nice to receive something just like the higher ups do.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great job recently. I joined a few years ago and the culture was rock bottom. There has been tremendous progress in employee morale, as seen in the company results. Keep recognition and rewarding hard working employees as top priorities. Your employees truly make or break this company... do everything you can to keep them happy. Happy employees = good company results.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Allstate full-time
Pros – -Good benefits, good amount of time PTO especially for newer people (you won't see many companies that start you off with the equivalent of 4+ weeks of PTO), CAT pay(equivalent to overtime for salaried employees), decent atmosphere, recognized for doing quality work.
Cons – -Claim volume varies. Sometimes when it's dead, you may just get 3 or 4 claims a day. When we have a catastrophe of some kind, we can get as many as 10 claims a day. 1 day, I got 15 claims in 1 day. When the claims come in bunches like that, it is very hard to keep up, and if you don't put the extra time in, you can easily get lost in the shuffle and get weeks behind. If you get majorly behind, it can take weeks if not months to catch yourself back up.
-You are never caught up. Even when you think you are good, something always happens, and falling behind is just part of the job.
-Management doesn't always understand what adjusters are having to deal with. There are always things on top of things that they require of us and don't realize that it takes away from the bottom line, which is to service the customer in a timely manner.
-Meetings=too many of them. Most meetings are pointless and only lead to adjusters falling further behind in their workload.
-Long hrs. Although you could work just 8-9 hr. days, you would fall very far behind and would spend 1/2 a year trying to catch back up. You are almost forced to work 10-12 hr. days to catch yourself up and keep yourself from falling behind. Luckily, CAT pay helps even out the need to work these long hrs.
Advice to Senior Management – -Hire more adjusters. Especially when you load balance claims from local offices across the country, we are still going to get a lot of claims, so why not hire some more adjusters to take some of the load off the current ones, which will help improve the customer experience by giving adjusters more time to focus on each customer.

Pros – Environment is easy going. Management was ok, not great but not too bad. Flexibility was great, was able to change my hours. Overall, great experience. I worked at night so I missed most of the drama.
Cons – Some of the coworkers were unfriendly but fortunately for me I only had to work with them for an hour before they left for home.
