Review this movie
Nov 23, 2014The Call es una película que sin dudas logra mantener al público en suspenso a medida que avanza el film, con presión recurrente y mucho entretenimiento.
Nov 13, 2014"The Call" 10 Scale Rating: 6.0 (Decent) ...
The Good: I typically loathe Halle Berry as an actress, but she was solid here. A gimmicky high-concept film, but for three quarters of the film it is very well done and keeps your interest. Despite the simplistic nature of the premise and plot, it is initially a fairly gripping tale.
The Bad: ... then it degenerates into something else entirely. Once Berry leaves the call center, the film takes a nose dive. After coasting along for an hour, the last thirty minutes are pretty standard fare ... and not overly good standard fare at that. The movie's villain, once fully revealed and explained, wasn't all that interesting.… Expand
Sep 1, 2014This is not a perfect film--but what it does perfectly is keep you on the edge of your seat with an intense story and gripping suspense. Halle Berry will leave you craving for more.
Apr 6, 2014Generally a somewhat thriller film "The Call" never dies down on It's plot and acting but It does on the actual story as well as violence. You may fine it as a stripped down version of "Maniac" comparing It's similar content. Nevertheless this film kept me watching, and I'm sure you will too.
Mar 30, 2014When it was announced that WWE was staring a film company, like most, I thought it was a joke. After some success with films like the Marine and 12 Rounds, the company earned some legitimacy and with it comes bigger talent and better Directors. The Call is the first WWE film that doesn't star a wrestler, and it was every bit as good as any Hollywood thriller that was released last year. Halle Berry stars as a 911 operator, whose worse nightmare is realized, when a kidnapping victim calls in from the trunk of a serial killers car. From there, the Call becomes 90 minutes of pure, non-stop intensity. It's hard to imagine a film that features a girl in a trunk and a woman in a call center, being as entertaining as it was, but that's where the experienced Hollywood talent comes into play. Halle Berry is not someone I consider to be a terrific actress, but she surprised me, by playing a character who had to overcome emotion and think on her feet. It quickly becomes evident that going by the book will lead to this girls death, and the operator comes up with some pretty novel ideas about how to deal with the situation. The supporting cast, which does feature an active WWE superstar, is also very good in assisting with the statewide manhunt. This film was really on pace to be one of my favorite films of the year until the ending. It was very strange, but the film gets to a certain point and then just ends. There may not have been much more of the story to tell, but the way it ended made me feel like I left the theater a few minutes early to answer an important phone call or something. It maybe a small thing to some, but to me, it really took a lot away from an otherwise terrific film. The Call is not that original, outside of the particular situation, it's a type of film you've seen many times over. It is however intense, fast paced, very entertaining, and most definitely worth the price of admission.… Expand
Mar 15, 2014i never saw a movie that Halle berry saves abgail breslin from a kidnap . i love the thrills and the watching halle berry save someone . great movie wonderful
Nov 30, 2013Great movie, Not one dull moment, keeps you waiting to see what happens.Makes you want to do something to help. The bad guy on this movie is twisted.My only problem with "The Call" is at the very end, but it wasn't a big issue.
Nov 16, 2013Surprisingly well written, suspenseful, intelligent, ok acting… then the third act unbelievably contrived, ridiculous, 7-in-a-row of the dumbest decisions ever made, worthy of the intellect of a 5-year-old, from a supposedly intelligent character, in order to end with a half-decent epilogue that didn't particularly fit with the rest of the film.
Wouldn't be surprised if the third act had a different author from the rest of a "half-decent" film.
Left me regretting the time spent watching the first ⅔rds.… Expand
Sep 28, 2013Llamada de Emergencia 911 genera un suspenso impresionante, ademas de poca predicibilidad, excelente calidad de actores como la hermosa Abigail Breslin, esta pelicula guardaba un contenido comun en peliculas de su genero, sin embargo logra desarrollarlo mas alla de normal
Sep 26, 2013If this was not the end yet, I would say that it stands out from the average, but it's unfortunately only one of many, and did not start badly, but then the ending
Sep 25, 2013The movie falls victim to a Hollywood ending, but the rest of the film is gripping and tasteful. Halle Berry is a very good actress in this movie, and Abigail Breslin is believable. It's a fun movie to watch with your friends on Friday night, there is no arguing with that.
Sep 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why do people say the ending is cliche, I have never seen a thriller end like that? It would be more cliche if she called the cops and they took him away and gave him 25 to life in jail Why would that have given you satisfaction I think leaving the psycho to starve to death in his own sick lair was a more interesting ending as his many victims would agree (the amount of scalps in the fridge show he killed more that the one girl shown in the film), maybe another film has this ending so it is cliché but I doubt that giving it a nice happy, the cops come and take him to jail, ending would really have satisfied you unsatisfiable people.… Expand
Sep 9, 2013An impressive thriller. It's tense, brutal, features a original idea, and, up until the very end, has believable moments and characters who act and make decisions like real people would. I have to give special praise to Halle Berry who gives a fantastic performance rather than just relying on her looks. This is also do to the fantastic writing. The only real complaint I have is that near the films conclusion it takes the predictable turn of the main character going in to save the girl by herself. It's predictable and cliche, but doesn't hinder the overall movie. All in all I was highly impressed with "The Call" and recommend a watch.… Expand
Sep 2, 2013Despite a haircut that makes it look like some kind of small animal died on her head, Halle Berry is excellent in The Call, a tense thriller that was a genuine surprise, a smartly written and performed film. When Jordan (Berry) is responsible for the death of a young girl, she quits work as an emergency call operator but when another girl, Casey (Abigail Breslin) is taken she finds herself back in the chair trying to save her from her captor. The Call is a pulse pounding film as it playfully subverts horror conventions to create a thriller so tense that you may well feel your heart beating in your chest. Grounded by an excellent performance by Berry as the good natured but self conscious Jordan, everything in the film feels real adding a new level to the action as Breslin's Casey gets closer to her destination and her expected demise. The usual diversions are to be expected and an odd and slightly pointless cameo by Michael Imperioli slows the film down but all in all its a film with an interesting premise, two great central performances and an ability to play with the viewers head. The only real downside is the film's villain, he lacks the charisma of other horror villains and while the tension and terror is real, the ending is written on the walls from the beginning and it takes the adventure out of an otherwise great film. It's not a bad film, it's fun, clever and creepy but it doesn't really push boundaries in its conclusion so much as nudge them, hoping they will fall over on their own.… Expand
Sep 2, 2013It was a good and exciting movie up until the last half hour where a 911 operator turns into high class detective discovering the location of the kidnapper. No cell signal where there was one in a previous scene, no cops at the location which they knew and was the only lead they had. They were there, but then left just before ms. 911 shows up and solves everything in 5 minutes flat. Oh and the last scene makes NO sense at all. Hal Berry is great, but the ending leaves you staring at the credits while you shake your head and wonder why the writers decided that was the best way to go out. Still giving it a 5 for everything up until the end. Don't watch this one people, you'll be disappointed...… Expand
Jul 29, 2013The call is a thriller about a 911 operator who gets a call of a girl who is kidnapped by a man in his car. It is a new idea and it is successful. The action and the plot are amazing. Abigail Breslin and Halle Berry were great and i think this film should have more positive reviews as it is a quality thriller and you will not get bored. Great things happen in that film and it has some suspense. I don't really know if there is going to be a sequel but the Call is a great thriller.… Expand
Jul 27, 2013The Call definitely had its plot holes and moments of stupidity. However, it was a very exciting movie and kept me on the edge of my seat. The weak part of the film is character development. I know a little bit about the characters but only just enough to get by. However, this is not really a character driven story. This movie was made to be a thrill ride. That is where the beauty lies. They want Speed and they somewhat get there. I thought the acting was pretty good. The villain of the film was very believable and did a great job. Overall, I wouldn't say its the best thriller I have ever seen but its pretty darn good.… Expand
Jul 19, 2013I thought this movie was amazing! Halle Berry did an amazing job, so did the teen and the "psycho". It was breathtaking, action-packed and sometimes surprising. I liked the ending which was a bit politically incorrect, and the fact that the guy in the wheelchair wasn't the guy in the wheelchair. He was just a worker that happened to be in a wheelchair. But the fact is that the identity of the kidnapper wasn't surprising at all and that his motives were not original at all. But the point of view was strong, the solutions that Jordan gives to the girl are intelligent, the acting was great, the music was excellent and the story was good. It did what I expected it to do and it did it well. Awesome movie!… Expand
Jul 12, 2013A very good film, has an awesome thrilling feel to it. The situation is somewhat cleverly executed and the film itself is something a little different which I like. It could had been less of a cliché but despite that, this film is still worth watching.
Jun 29, 2013Way to much of using a stupid tricks to given some shock? Not at all but no gut. If the film want to press the audience into corner just like Silence of The Lambs. It's a shame. You have to work harder and more original stuff that make sense please. While watching this film. I have a lot of questions that lead to unreliable plot.
Jun 25, 2013While the cast is pretty solid, Berry is a rather disappointing lead and Eklund, who plays the film's villain, failed to be a satisfying performance as well. The plot was also incredibly predictable at times as well, I often called what would happen next several minutes before it happened. The ending was also rather disappointing and made little sense. That being said, I still enjoyed The Call quite a bit. It was interesting and entertaining, I gotta give it that. It's worth giving a shot.… Expand
Jun 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Call is a perfect example of a movie that not only has a ton of potential but also is executed so very well until the very end. The plot is very interesting and well developed and the acting is absolutely incredible. Abigail Breslin deserves an Oscar nomination for how believable she is in this film. The back and forth between her and Halle Berry's characters immerse you completely into the movie and have you on the edge of your seat. The supporting cast of Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, and even cameo appearances by Michael Imperioli and others don't disappoint either but this is hands down the Berry and Breslin show. But as I said, the flaw was in the last ten minutes because up until that point, we were looking at a solid 9/10 caliber film. Those last ten minutes caused the film to go from a nail-biting thriller surrounding unfortunately realistic circumstances to yet another cliched film where drama and suspense is built upon stupidity and unrealistic actions and reactions. Some people might not care much but to me, that killed the immersion and the movie-watching experience and definitely took the movie down a few notches. The fact that there was essentially no closure just added to the last several minutes being weak. Nonetheless, this was actually a pretty good movie but it had "great" potential.… Expand
Jun 20, 2013How dare this movie have a 6.6 from the users and 50's from the critics. This piece of dog crud should be laughed about. The ending was stupid, the fact no one checked the cabin, she drops her phone, and doesn't finish him real good before he helps her. Too many retarded things happened.
Jun 7, 2013The first two thirds of this film is a strong 7, but the final third brings this film down to a 6. Still I would recommend watching the film for strong performances.
Jun 4, 2013"The Call is a somewhat intense, smart, but predictable edgy thriller. That actually makes you cringe a little bit. Although not unique or original in any way shape or form and its insanely forgettable. For the most part its that fun guilty pleasure." B
May 6, 2013This is the definite thriller I was hoping for, it deserves the wait, I was hoping it won't be bad, but with Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin and a thriller that moves under your skin and nerves, it is never a bad movie.
The Call delivers a good time and thrilling edge setting scenes, and overall it is intense and horrifying, and gives you absolutely a good time, although the movie is not perfect, it has so "I've been here before scenes" but it is so near a perfect action-thriller, with a great acting and a sick truth of a killer.… Expand
May 5, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This has a good premise on how 911 operators work. The first act sets up nicely, the second act goes smoothly and the final act jumps the shark. Once you know the antagonist's motive it becomes ludicrous that it become an episode of Criminal Minds.
Brad Anderson is a good director, who did The Machinist and Transsiberian which were good thrillers; it's a shame he had to work with a script that doesn't know how to have a proper finale.
Halle Berry doesn't even call the cops and instead goes vigilante on us. Once you think she manages to rescue the girl, the captive sugget to have the guy tied to a chair and lock him inside the hidden cellar. Sudden it has turned into a Hostel wannabe. This final act and ending ruined what could of been a tense thriller instead it becomes a 90-minute disappointed that doesn't give you a feeling of satisfaction.… Expand
Apr 29, 2013The first two acts of this film are great. It is intense, suspenseful and emotional. All the performances are good and it is very well paced. The problem comes when the third act starts. It turns from a twisted thriller into a dumb generic "Silence of the Lambs" ripoff. I would recommend watching the movie and walking out an hour in.
Apr 13, 2013This is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. It has everything you could ask that makes a movie good. Great acting, quality entertainment, originality, and a plot that is completely possible and believable. Not to mention that it teaches you exactly what to do if your in this kind of situation. The only minor problem is the ending because it's not all that believable but it's still satisfying. Not a big problem though. Overall, great thriller!… Expand
Apr 10, 2013The Call, a decent movie, nothing to write home to mom about, but enough thrills to keep me interested and engaged. I have to admit after viewing this movie I have many questions. Questions about the sister, the wife, etc. I would tend to think Halle Berry is the only reason this movie attracts viewers. I also can really respect the brief glimpse of the life of a 911 emergency dispatcher and how critical their jobs are.… Expand
Mar 27, 2013There was a time when "B" movies were meant to fill a couple of hours and entertain the masses...nothing more. Well, "The Call" is just that: a tight, vicious little "B" movie that never let's up and delivers the goods. All of the talent is acting as if it's an "A" drama, which helps keep the suspense level up: nobody is phoning it in...and it is an "R" rated thriller, so they are willing to get a bit nasty, which also helps the film, to be honest. A tight, vicious thriller that did the job it was made to do!… Expand
Mar 23, 2013Really good interpritatin of being kidnapped. I think Abigail does a really good job of portraying the emotion. only down fall is the ending it seems like they cut it short as if they ran out of budget. I feel it should have lasted 5-10 min. longer.
Mar 21, 2013Halle Berry plays a 911 operator who gets a call from a girl (Abigail Breslin) trapped in the trunk by a kidnapper. Not only is this a nail-biting rescue, it becomes a police procedural as we watch the resources used to find the caller. Most of the time, the film makes smart choices that keep you involved and sometimes even wanting to scream at the screen. The filmmaking is sharp with some flashy editing touches and solid sound design. Even though the conclusion is a bit much, up til then, it's a well-crafted, gripping ride.… Expand
Mar 20, 2013Interesting 911 police procedural and suspense is almost unbearable, although the torture of two female characters can be a bit much at times. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and a mite disappointed at the ending. Nice thing, overall, was no CGI. Halle was good as usual.
Mar 18, 2013Worst acting by Hallie Berry I have ever seen. B rated movie not meant for big screen. OK plot is the only reason it got a 3 from me. With an ending that leaves your jaw dropped and you have to push it back into place because you just realized you got ripped off and want your money back. Worst ending that I can remember. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I'M NOT EVEN WASTING ANY MORE TIME ON THIS MOVIE REVIEW. IF YOU WASTE YOUR MONEY AND SEE IT DONT SAY YOU WERNT WARNED.… Collapse
Mar 18, 2013I feel like I wasted my time watching this movie since it was already unpopular. Halle Berry had a bad performance and scenes just go down in history forgettable. It wasn't total failure but it could have and should have been more than it was.
Mar 17, 2013Remember movies like "House at the End of the Street" or "Gone", which lacked in character development, acting, and believable tone? Remember their misguided and incoherent endings that lacked any wit? Well, i'd say that "The Call" has much more wit and believability. It suffers from a lot of important plot elements that could have been added and maybe the supporting characters could have been put to better use, but this film is a treat in a genre that has recently had a lot of repetitive and lazy flicks.… Expand
Mar 17, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must admit I went into this film skeptical, however the trailer was intriguing so I gave it and chance. Halle Berry makes this movie exceptionally convincing and delivers an emotional punch. I will warn you if you are suffering from anxiety you need not watch "The Call." So many times I shifted forward in my seat in suspense, while biting my nails. Now with all of the positives this film does shove a few pins through my heart. 3/4 of the movie excels as a thriller, but in a blink of an eye were running upstairs when we should be running out the front door. The thriller quickly turns into a horror film and this is where the film loses me. We are given a "Saw" ending?! As the director, Brad Anderson had everything going for him, but gives up on the ending and it is extremely disheartening. In a nut shell "The Call" is a fun, outlandish, and suspenseful treat that is worthy of a matinee ticket.… Expand
Mar 16, 2013The Call is a slow, gritty thriller because the end or the climax is wonderful and disappointing at the same time. This movie is so edge of your seat edgy, nail biting, bloody thriller. The Call deserves a 9 because its a wonderful thriller.
Mar 16, 2013At a running time of 1 hour and 30 minutes the movie movies quick and if it was not for the final minutes of the film I would have given it a 8 of 10. Unfortunately, the absurd ending may be too much for some to handle, it really is overall worth the cost of admission.
Mar 15, 2013Hallie Berry shows her concerned side in this strange but interesting suspense fest. It sure is great with many clever ideas thrown out as Berry does her job. It just ends in such a weird note that while the credits rolled I decided to bump this rating down a notch. If you missed the last 30 minutes of the movie it gets an 8 otherwise its a 6 if you stayed and watched the whole thing. Why did the director do this I am so mad at him. So good and then, uuugh.… Expand
Mar 15, 2013Once you get past the unattractive Harpo Marx hairdo sported by Halle Berry in "The Call" the first 80 minutes of this 98 film presents an interesting thriller before it becomes a cliche of previous thrillers. At that point it falls apart leaving more questions than answers but you really don't want to waste time trying to figure out what just happened.
The screenplay by Richard D'Ovidio sets up the story of 911 star operator Jordan (Halle Berry) who makes a mistake and feels she is responsible for the death of a young kidnapped victim. Instead of continuing as an operator she now trains newcomers to the 911 center, known as 'The Hive' due to all the buzzing continuously going on of dispatchers answering phones with "911, what is your emergency?" and then following through to help solve them all from attempted suicides to a bat flying around in someone's house. Jordan has a handsome police officer boyfriend, Paul Phillips, (Morris Chestnut) and with the help of some pills seems to have recovered from her previous experience only to once again be put in the same position. One of things she keeps telling the trainees is to never make promises to people on the other end of the line.
Casey Wilson (Abigail Breslin) has been kidnapped in a mall garage by Michael Foster (Michael Eklund) who carries on in the Norman Bates, Hannibal Lecter and/or "Buffalo Bill" disturbed mode of killer. He puts her in the trunk of his car and using a cell phone, (What did thrillers use before cell phones?), she calls 911 and when the operator seems to be fumbling Jordan takes over. In most thrillers logic has to be parked at the door before the movie starts and this is no different but the various ways in which Jordan advises Casey and the sadistic actions of Michael as he travels Los Angeles highways and byways makes for gripping times in the film before it takes a wrong turn and makes the women action heroines.
Berry does her usual efficient job while Breslin takes a huge step into being ready for adult roles Eklund goes from a serious, sadistic killer to, at times, the script making him an object of ridicule. Michael Imperioli as an innocent victim brings an element of surprise as does Jose Zuniga. The direction by Brad Anderson is more or less pedestrian while the music by John Debney plays with the emotions.
"The Call" is rated R with gratuitous violence, sex and language but being a good thriller the first 80 minutes before going off the tracks and falling into the mundane.… Expand
Yet just when the movie has us in its grasp, the script falls to pieces and turns into a crass female-in-peril button-pusher whose shameless psycho-killer clichés insult the intelligence.
Mar 20, 2013A pastiche of classic plot devices scrounged from "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three," "The Conversation," "Blue Velvet," and dozens of other movies, the story often feels familiar, but director Anderson (The Machinist) has a such a flair for suspense that even the most jaded viewers will find themselves in a sweat.

How do you keep track of infants and toddlers when you can't always be there with them? People have been using baby monitors and web-based cameras for a while now, though Ben Henkel and his team at Integrated Systems (iSys) in Tarzana, Calif., regularly equip their clients with some high-tech twists on traditional child monitoring.
Instead of using web-based cameras that have trouble detecting a baby in the dark, Integrated Systems uses standard analog cameras with IR (infrared) capability so that they can "see" better when the lights are off.
In the case of this Malibu Hills, Calif., home, two Nuvico analog CCTV cameras were used in the nursery, and another two in the kids' playroom.
The signals from the analog cameras travel over coaxial cable to a central equipment rack, where a Panasonic analog-to-digital converter converts the video into digital form for viewing on any of several TVs and Control4 touchpanels throughout the house. From virtually anywhere in the house or remotely, the parents can check in on their little ones.
To distribute audio along with the video, Integrated Systems often uses a Panasonic telephone system. It simply installs another phone station near the crib, puts it on INTERCOM and takes the cord off the phone for safety reasons. The parents can monitor the baby inside the home from any one of the other phone stations in the house.
The Control4 system provides the proud parents with even more convenience. It's connected to a wireless Somfy motorized shading system that's on timers to close the shades to help block out the afternoon light during nap time.
Henkel reports that the parents really love coming into the nursery and pressing one button on a touchpanel called GOOD NIGHT to turn down the lights, draw the shades and play soothing music for baby's bedtime.

Deregulation is being tested by a series of crises, from a devastating hurricane to the Wall Street meltdown. Regulators and companies are applying the lessons learned to strengthen the Texas...
Carbon and the Constitution
State GHG policies confront federal roadblocks.
in the control regions of each of the RGGI states. 48 Those facilities that do not have to purchase allowances in order to operate and sell wholesale power ( e.g., unregulated out-of-state carbon-emitting power plants selling power into an RGGI-regulated state) thus will collect a price for their wholesale power reflecting the cost of RGGI allowances embedded in the highest hourly clearing price paid for power, even though they have no RGGI compliance costs.
Major fights have erupted in California over the allocation and auction of CO 2 emission allowances. One battle is whether allowances will be dispersed without charge to load-serving entities, and if so, whether the traditional load served or the traditional level of emissions should constitute the basis for distribution. 49 The California investor-owned utilities in May 2008 submitted comments to regulators, urging California to allocate carbon allowances to all emission sources based on historical power output, rather than emissions output, employing a uniform GHG baseline. 50 This would favor the award of allowances to less-carbon intensive sources and utilities. Surplus allowances could be sold. Dynegy and other independent power providers in California that operate higher-carbon electricity generators, believe that allowances should be distributed based on historic emissions levels, rather than power output, to "recognize the reliability benefits conferred by such sources," and the "loss of market value of these resources." 51 However, environmental groups charge that any allocation based on historic emissions "[g]randfathering ... rewards historical polluters, penalizes early actors, could lead to windfall profits, and asks the biggest polluters to reduce their emissions the least." 52
The concept of auctioning carbon allowances and capturing substantial payments has been extremely attractive to carbon regulators across the United States. Seven Western states participating in the Western Climate Initiative also recommended that 25 percent to 75 percent of total emission allowances be auctioned in their own proposed regional market design. 53 But several state regulators, including those from California and Washington, also have acknowledged that the states could be legally preempted in their efforts to regulate carbon. 54
Motives for Auctioning Allowances
Environmental officials in the various carbon-regulating states have declared that the rationale for auctioning 100 percent of the carbon allowances is to increase the cost of carbon-emitting power generation and capture of profits as state revenues. In New York, for example, the lead RGGI state, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) has issued public statements claiming that the decision and purpose of the auction of 100 percent of carbon allocations is to prevent affected electric generators to reduce the rate of return that power generators receive pursuant to their FERC-approved market rates, which NYDEC considers to include "excess" profits. 55 Thus, the auction policy is designed to alter, through state regulation, the "just" and "reasonable wholesale interstate" rates previously established pursuant to FERC-approved tariff or market design. Thus, the auction is designed to impose and regulate carbon costs by altering the market prices at which power from different generation sources trades at the wholesale level from wholesaler to retailer.

I have been looking through this Forum. I havn't seen any Question about this. So I will ask.
Are there plans to produce a Program (like Heavy metal Pro) and or a Disk with a SSD collection. So we can print out our ships as needed.

This is a really really cool idea. I think it would be great to buy a disk for each release that comes out. They wouldn't even have to be sold together. If someone is fine with just the cards for FC or the books for SFB, then they're set! But for those that have access to a printer or don't need coated, wet-erase cards...a purchasable version on disk would be fantastic! That way a customer could just go and print out SSDs (for either FC or SFB) to their heart's content.

Hello Master welcome to the forums. Now realise I am making this statement in good humor and it is in no way a attack or slam. Congratuations on being the 30something person to bring up the questions of somekind of PDF Products or Sell
The ideal of some form of Electronic Media being sold by ADB is a issue that ADB is in the process of evaluating and is not one that will be answered anytime soon. As such I expect that the poll portion of the post will probably be removed as this disscussion has happened ever couple of months over the last several years and I am sure it will be brought up again. If you take a few moments to scan back through the forums I am sure you will find some of the earlier disscussions that have taken place.
There is one cavat I am going to add and that is ADB is going to start a trial run of some PDF Products using Steve Jackson Games website. While this will initially be limited to Prime Directive GURPS Products and Materials it does show that ADB is listening to its customers and is trying to determine if and how PDF sells are possiable for ADB.

Am I wrong in thinking though, Master, is that you meant a tangible, physical disk with a program on it that allows you to print out SSDs? This wouldn't be downloadable PDF content. This would be an actual product that can be purchased through the ADB store.

I like the idea of collected SSD/Ship Cards on a disk. It would be very handy to be able to print out copies of what ever ships I need on game night. Of course it would also be nice to be able to buy the rules, scenarios etc this way.
I also like the coated color ship cards that Fed Comm uses now, and I love printed and bound rules.
Printer ink does get expensive, even if you are just printing out all the ships from Comunique.
As a bussiness owner I am afraid I can't quite see to make this a money earning proposition for ADB. Electronic versions would, I am sure, cut dramatically into sales of the hard copy versions. After all why pay for a hard copy when you can buy the digital version and print just the ones you need. I don't think the profit margin on coated ship cards is all that high considering the relatively low price of the boosters.
Plus it is easier to pirate a digital version as opposed to a print version. If pirate files start proliferating on the web ABD will shortly be in a very bad spot financially.
There is also the problem of distributing updated versions to gamers. I know I would be upset if I had to buy the whole disc over again each year to get the new ships and rules. As it currently stands if I don't want to play Distant Kingdoms, or Romulans, or Klingons, or what ever, I simply don't buy those supplements. If I want to keep up with all the doings of the Gorn Empire I can buy all the supplements, boosters, etc that have Gorn ships in them.
So, yes, I like the idea and would buy in if ADB decides to go down that road, but I will be far from heartbroken if they do not.

there are pro's and con's for this. if SVC decides to do this it will be based on something other than forum poll's. not that i am against poll's on this subject but this is how SVC makes his living and i am sure he does not want to end up where WOTC is today. that being said you should voice your thoughts either way on this subject but remember this is not something that will be decided overnight and SVC does not take our opinions lightly.

Yeah, it's most likely true. Printer ink is expensive. And the cards can be used over and over until they get too ear marked to write on anymore. Then the cards can just be replaced.
I got excited because I'm a graphic arts person and I love electronic media and art. But I have to keep in mind that this may not always be sound business practice as far as a company is concerned. I have never operated a business - so I bow to the advice and knowledge already present on these boards.

This may be an interesting read for some on the issue of companies selling PDF or other digital versions of their products:
From the article you can see that as of this week WOTC has discontinued all PDF sales due to piracy and will review other means of digital distribution.

I deleted the poll because it is pointless. It is unnecessary, and potentially inflamatory.
I have, however, left the discussion intact. It is a perfectly valid (if somewhat repeditive) topic.
But no poll.

As a note, Mr. West- the Romulan Battlehawk card link redirects to the Shrike's SSD.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, Mike; those cards will be most useful
I'm not sure there's 'every' ship from KB and RB, though; I can't find the large freighter.
But still, what a generous thing to do. Granted, they're all Communique releases, but there's some work gone into that. Thanks guys!

Recent Soft Shell Jacket Reviews
Arc'teryx Venta MX Hoody
Great all round soft shell for touring, mountaineering, and climbing, I used this jacket as my primary do-it-all layer for all of 2013/2014. The fit is closest to the Gamma AR, being slightly more tapered around the waist that the Venta SV. It was looser than the the MX. It does have a very almost hard-shell starchiness that makes it less stretchy than the Gamma MX, but immensely more water resistant and durable. I was a little put off by the fact it had Windstopper and pit zips, but I have actually… Full review
Eddie Bauer Men's Propellant Jacket
Very comfortable, lightly insulated, stretchy, wind and water resistant soft shell. Poor quality control! Great idea, this jacket could be awesome but...questionable execution. My hood elastic cinch pulled loose from the end the first time I pulled it, unthreading all the way out. Hmmm return or ??? I reluctantly rethreaded and sewed it back. The hem elastic cinch has no cord locks. I had to add them. Zippers were very sticky. I lubed them and they were better, but come on! This is an expensive… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Helium Hybrid Jacket
Super light, compact. Easy to throw in you pack or clip onto your belt or harness. Love the self stuffing pouch that has a nice clip-in loop. Once the Helium is on you the wind is blocked. I have only worn it in the lightest of mist and sprinkles, worked great there. I assume if you know it's going to rain you'd want something beefier. (The reviewer is an athlete ambassador for Outdoor Research.) Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Helium Hybrid Jacket
The OR Helium Hybrid is a lightweight, no-frills wind jacket that has additional protection from rain on the hood and shoulders. The minimalist design of the jacket provides satisfactory coverage from wind and moderate rain showers, which I found perfect for spring and summer weather. Background: I have been testing this jacket over the past three months using it as my go-to jacket when an extra layer is needed or as protection from the rain. It has been used primarily for hiking in the Columbia… Full review
Marmot Men's Vapor Trail Hoody
Great mid-weight wind and water resistant shell for early spring and higher altitude outings. As part of my preparation for summiting some 14'ers this summer, I bought this Marmot Vapor Trail Hoody to carry as my mid-weight layer. The weather can change dramatically and in a hurry at altitude so I wanted something with a hood that was highly breathable yet blocked wind and shed light rain or snow. I bought this toward the end of winter but we had a lot of spring snow and rain this year in the… Full review
Patagonia Men's Alpine Houdini
This is the lightest and most packable waterproof/breathable shell I have tried. It functioned extremely well on a variety of really unpleasant days, in both heavy rain and high wind. Consistent with many ultralight options, this jacket covers the basics but has a fairly spartan design overall — so if you favor function over frills, you will like this. I highly recommend this shell as a compact, light, but very functional insurance policy against foul weather. PRODUCT DETAILS: My size XL in "folios… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Alchemy Hooded Jacket
After giving up on soft shells I am back to being a fan. After the last soft shell jacket I was wearing became soaked during an all-day sleet I said never again. People told me, "soft shells are only for light rain or dry snow." I thought, So now I need to be able to predict the weather? Comparing the new Alchemy to those old jackets is like comparing my '02 Focus to a new Audi S5. If you remember such things, the MH Alchemy jacket used to be a hoodless soft shell made with Windstopper… Full review
Rab Men's Scimitar Jacket
Light, well-designed, all-around softshell for doing anything in the mountains. Purchased this jacket about six months ago and have had the opportunity to take this jacket hiking, biking, ice/alpine/rock climbing, backcountry, alpine, and cross-country skiing, and traveling to Asia. The fit in Rab is usually spot on for my body type, and this piece very nearly got it perfect; only gripes are forearms that are too snug to use very substantial layers underneath. Granted I'm a climber and my forearm… Full review
Marmot Men's Leadville Jacket
One of the best jackets I have had in the last 60+ years! It was an impulse end of season sale item, that lives up to its advertising. I was fortunate to find it marked down for a quick sale as gear in XXL/tall does not stay on the racks long. It is quite comfortable in the very unseasonable weather we have been having this year. It sheds the wind and rain better than I hoped for. It moves well with me. The only thing I dislike is the logos on the sleeves front/back and etc. It is solid black with… Full review

Bachelor of Science (Psychology) (Honours)
Course summary for local students
|Award granted
|Bachelor of Science (Psychology) (Honours)
|1 year full-time or part-time equivalent
|Faculty contacts
Health - Student and Academic Services
|CRICOS course code
|Deakin course code
Offered in Campus mode only
Course sub-headings
Course overview
The honours program assumes, and builds on, the content and research methods areas of psychology provided by the three-year undergraduate psychology sequence offered by the School of Psychology at Deakin, and accredited by the Australian Psychological Society (APS); or an equivalent APS-accredited sequence (see below). The Honours program is designed to provide students with the knowledge base and research skills to enable them to undertake a higher degree by research in psychology, to undertake advanced professional training in psychology, or to seek employment in an area of psychology using the skills acquired during a four year degree. The honours program is offered in campus mode only.
Professional recognition
This course is recognised for registration purposes by the Psychology Board of Australia and is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
Note: This course is currently accredited as at the date of publishing.
Course rules
Psychology Honours consists of two components: coursework and a thesis. The coursework component (consisting of classes and seminars) contributes 50% to the final grade of Honours awarded. As required by the accreditation guidelines of the Australian Psychological Society, the coursework covers:
- research methods;
- professional, conceptual and ethical issues in the science and practice of psychology;
- issues in psychological assessment; and
- counselling and interpersonal skills.
For further details of the coursework component, see the unit description for HPS425 and HPS426.
The thesis component (see HPS427 and HPS428) contributes 50% to the final grade of honours awarded. The thesis is a write-up (current length approximately 9000 words) of an individual research project based on an original piece of empirical research. A range of types of data (qualitative, quantitative, subjective, objective) and a range of data-collection settings and methodologies can be used as the basis of the thesis component.
The thesis is submitted in two parts: a 4000-word literature review submitted mid-year and a 5000-word report on the empirical component submitted in October. The literature review and empirical report section of the thesis typically contribute 15% and 35% respectively to the final mark for the thesis component. Both sections are marked by two independent markers.
Attendance and presentation at the annual School Honours Conference and attendance at the weekly School Research Colloquia are hurdle requirements.

Sometimes life is just better when you're naked. Or at least it's better when you're looking at a naked girl like Veroni.
When Veroni showed up to pose for Petter Hegre she was a complete virgin to the world of nude modeling. Twenty minutes into the photo shoot and Petter couldn't convince her to put her clothes back on! So what's a photographer to do in a situation like this? Why, make a film of course.
Sit back and relax as we take you on a trip through a normal day in the life of one very special woman. Of course, when she is completely nude, Veroni's life is far beyond average.

"I think Huntington's community is one of the best parts about it."
Since graduation, Nick Colgrove has delivered meals, worked as a youth director for a church, and even packaged donuts. All of these jobs, however, were just stepping stones to a larger journey — one of thought, reason and more schooling. Colgrove graduated from HU in 2011 with degrees in philosophy and Bible & religion-religious studies. In the year after graduation, Colgrove took some time to decide the right path for him: seminary or graduate school. "In the end, after continued guidance from a number of HU's professors, I settled on philosophy," he said.In the fall of 2012, he began work on his PhD in philosophy at Baylor University. "Entering into a graduate program in philosophy means facing some of the most intense competition out there," he said. "Huntington is a small liberal arts school, and its philosophy program is very small, but it prepared me to compete with some of the brightest students from all over the world."It was the writing techniques that he learned at Huntington that earned him a perfect score on the GRE's writing section. And it was the many professional conferences and graduate-level papers that caught the attention of Baylor."HU professors do not evaluate a student's work based on how it compares to the other students, but rather, base their evaluation on how the student's work compares to the student's potential," he said. "You are never a mere number or statistic to HU's professors, but you are an individual with your own special set of interests and abilities."Colgrove sought out a degree from Huntington because of the low student-to-faculty ratio and because it was a Christian school. At the time, he didn't know what to think about Christianity. He decided to give God four years to figure it out for him. God only needed a few months. He was baptized, along with his roommate, during the second semester of his freshman year. Colgrove continues to be best friends with his college roommate and has built lifelong friendships with the men who lived in his dorm. "I think Huntington's community is one of the best parts about it," he said. "I can't guarantee that others will be so blessed as I was, but I can say that Huntington is a place full of people who want to invest deeply in students' lives so that these students might flourish."

We are looking to fill in gaps in our Pikes Peak region high school yearbooks collection. After several years of contacting high school yearbook offices and alumni groups, we have added several hundred more volumes, but we still have holes to fill. We are the main repository in the area for these yearbooks and perhaps the only place where they are easily accessible. They are used extensively by our genealogy patrons, high school students, and those recently graduated from high school.
To serve our patrons better, we would like to have as complete a collection as possible. Therefore, we would like to appeal to our patrons to complete this task. Click here to see which yearbooks we are missing. If you have any yearbooks on this list that you are willing to donate to us, please contact the Library at (719) 531-6333, x2253.

Beginning in June, and continuing for the next eighteen months, PPLD's Special Collections will be releasing a free postcard featuring notable women who have made important contributions to the city of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region.
Each card will contain a small biographical description inviting you to learn more about these extraordinary women. You can drop by Special Collections in the 1905 Carnegie at Penrose Library to receive your postcard.
The images on the postcards are all from PPLD's Photo Archives, housed in the 1905 Carnegie. Photographs constitute one of Special Collections' most valuable resources. Numbering more than 500,000 items, the archive contains images depicting Colorado Springs, the Pikes Peak region, Colorado, the Rocky Mountain West, and the Southwest. Collections include a wide variety of formats and processes including glass plate negatives, stereo views, postcards, albumen prints, and cyanotypes, as well as negatives, slides, silver gelatin prints, and born-digital images.
Over 11,000 of these images have been digitized and can be easily searched through our Digital Photo Archives at photos.ppld.org.

Professional librarians at the East and Penrose Libraries are available to assist you with your information needs, whether you are looking for a great book to read, starting a business, or researching local history.
Research topics include, but are not limited to, finding materials for children or teens, locating health and wellness information, beginning legal research, and finding grant information for nonprofits.

Begin by completing the online form on our website. From our home page (ppld.org), click on Research and select Book a Librarian. You can also locate the service by clicking on the dropdown arrow under "How do I?" on the left side of the home page and selecting Book a Librarian.
Fill out the form with your information, including your library card number. If your research request differs from the options provided, describe your question or research need in as much detail as possible.
We'll look at your request and determine the best person on our staff to meet with you based on expertise and availability. We'll get back to you as soon as we can to schedule your appointment. Appointments may be scheduled for up to one hour at either the East or Penrose Library.
The Book a Librarian service is open to any PPLD cardholder. We cannot offer advice (e.g., medical, legal, investment) except to advise users of reputable sources of evaluative information. Also, we cannot offer troubleshooting or maintenance help with personal computers or devices. However, computer classes are available at several PPLD locations.
For questions, you can contact PPLD by email, chat, phone, or in person at any of our fourteen locations.

At a special event held at Penrose Library on Wednesday, February 13, El Pomar Foundation announced it had approved a challenge grant of $750,000 to support the Library's Tri-Building Project to create a 21st Century library system, which will bring significant improvements to Pikes Peak Library District.
The funds from El Pomar are earmarked for use at PPLD's Penrose Library, but the funds will allow for wider District-wide improvements at PPLD, including renovations and upgrades at PPLD's East Library and the opening of a new facility in 2014 at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive as well. PPLD's new facility will feature content creation areas for creative professionals, business incubation and hoteling space for small businesses and nonprofits, enhanced areas for job seekers to find career assistance, and much more!
El Pomar's generous grant will allow the Library to move forward on construction and renovation in 2013, with a projected opening of the new facility in 2014. The challenge grant is contingent upon The Pikes Peak Library District Foundation raising $3.15 million by January 1, 2016.

An Assistive Technology Station is an area set aside with equipment and software designed to help patrons who are blind, visually impaired, or those who have limited or no use of their hands to assist them with reading and writing tasks and accessing other resources on a personal computer. Pikes Peak Library District has two such stations: at Penrose and East libraries.
A typical station is equipped with an adjustable table, a large-print keyboard, a track ball mouse, headphones with attached microphone, and speakers. The computers are loaded with specialized software.
Although Library staff have a general knowledge of what is available at each location, it is the patron who becomes the expert user. The applications are so specialized with numerous hot keys and set-up requirements, they are mastered only as one spends time using each program.
For more information about these stations, you can watch the PPLD TV video above, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (719) 531-6333, x1371 or x2309.

One of the big questions leading up to the big day for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, was will Beyonce show up for the festivities?
While West and Beyonce's husband Jay-Z are tight, the same cannot be said about Kardashian and Beyonce. To add to the intrigue, around the time guests started to arrive at the Florence wedding Beyonce posted a photo of herself on Instagram dressed down and make-up free.
Meanwhile, a list of celebrities who did attend the ceremonies included Steve McQueen, director of Oscar-winner ''12 Years a Slave," and Lala Anthony, wife of NY Knicks basketball star Carmelo Anthony.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
American reality TV star Kim Kardashian (L) and American singer Kanye West (R) leave their residence in Paris on May 23, 2014, ahead of their wedding. Kanye West and his bride-to-be Kim Kardashian lunched on May 23 at a French chateau owned by iconic designer Valentino, kicking off a marathon celebration expected to culminate in the wedding of the year.

1)2) Some people just lack the ability to be better players, while others just do not care enough to try and be better and do not want to put in the time or commitment required, and still even more players are ok with not being great because they are playing the game for fun or just casually and do not care what others think of them. The problem is when those people want to be competitive raiders and think things will just get handed to them and they can continue to be sup-par players or start talking about how "MY GEAR SCORE IS FIFTY MILLION WHY DO I NEVER GET INVITED TO PUGS" because they do not bother to take the time and learn about their class.Originally Posted by Lore

Graeme Black has got in the big guns for his A/W '09 London Fashion Week show today. Sam McKnight creating the hair and Kay Montano doing gorgeous make-up. The hair was pulled up to the front of the head and rolled into a 'hair sausage' to give it a front roll. Blade Runner was the inspiration and even Sam admitted that it was hard work to create the look. Make-up was fairly simple with no cheeks and eyes had only liner in the inner eye finished with a neutral lipstick from MAC called Underworld. The finishing touche – Creative Nails custom-blending polish to match the collection. Priceless.

GREEN BAY, Wis.—The Green Bay Packers lost yet another offensive lineman, with T.J. Lang questionable to return after injuring his ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Lang joined wide receiver Jordy Nelson in the locker room. Nelson injured his hamstring on the second drive of the game. It was not clear if it was the same hamstring that forced Nelson to miss Green Bay's Oct. 28 game against Jacksonville.
Lang started the first nine games at left guard before moving over to right tackle after Bryan Bulaga suffered a season-ending hip injury. Undrafted rookie Don Barclay replaced Lang.
The injuries came just as the Packers' offense was getting back to full strength. No. 1 receiver Greg Jennings was active Sunday for the first time since Sept. 30.

I loved this ring when I saw it online, and it was a great deal being over 600 dollars off the MSRP price. Having bigger fingers I already knew that my ring would look small, but I still wanted the ring because it was pretty and it was a great price for an engaged couple on a budget. When I received the package I was excited, ripped it open, and was disappointed with how much smaller the ring is than the picture. The picture is REALLY magnified. Keep that in mind when purchasing. The ring is very pretty but equally small.

Marley Teardrop Multt Zip Backpack
Neat, stylish & functional
I just love this bag! I have used it for about 6 months & it still looks. It has lots of pockets, is not heavy & fits everything I need, ipad, kindle, phone, purse, small notebook & pen, tissues, wipes & a mini first aid, yet it is so compact! I love its classy, non bulky look, yet it has a surprising capacity. I chose the gorgeous red :-)
August 17, 2014
Received Compliments on day 1 and I LOVE IT!
This looks great whether at a client or out with friends. Lightweight and fits most things I need with me at all times. The description is completely accurate. And the plum color is so unusual and really nice looking! Thank you, Levenger!
November 20, 2014
this is great
One of if not the best bag I have. Enough compartments to organize my belongings without being bulky. I appreciate the security of having two sections that are against your back and not exposed when used as backpack. Being hands free is nice
November 17, 2014
softest and best designed
This backpack is the most supple and well designed purse I have. Don't let the smaller size fool you. It carries everything I need. Also the color of the red is fabulous. I'm going to buy another in a different color.
October 2, 2014
At last I found a classy backpack purse!
After much research and shopping for something to compare to this purse and to no avail, I chose to purchase this one. It is what I expected. One feature that could be improved is the zipper of the main compartment. Can you conceal it a little more, or at least make it more difficult for someone to "unzip" it? My friend bought one in Germany and the zipper is harder for someone to unknowingly get into her purse.
September 5, 2014
Great Bag
The quality of materials and construction is impressive. My sole regret is that there are not organizer pockets on the inside front of the bag.
September 4, 2014
Great backpack
I love the color and the functionality of the bag. I am able to put my Ipad air, Galaxy 5 phone and a number of other necessities in it without straining the bag or my shoulders.
August 14, 2014
Lovely bag, but beware
I love every aspect of this bag - the design, size, compartments, color (plum), quality and durability of the leather, but beware. Wearing a white shirt, I used this backpack on a not very rigorous hike and was so surprised to find purple stains where the straps meet the sleeves. It seems the bag should not be used when there is the possibility of moisture.
August 5, 2014
teardrop backpack
I loved this so much I replaced it with another one, and my husband carries one too. It makes a handsome, highly organized purse that does not strain an injured shoulder, for one can carry it by its handle or wear it as a backpack or frontpack. When I travel, I wear it in front of my body like an infant. The pockets are perfect for easy-access items like glasses, kleenex, earphones or tape measure, and checkbook. The pocket inside is perfect for my iPhone, with tiny pockets for my professional calling cards. The main compartment holds my Levenger "Road Scholar" and Levenger pencil case as well as one or two other little items. The handle accommodates my keys. The zippers and stitching are sturdy. Great buy!
July 23, 2014
Lovely purple backpack
I am really glad I bought this and use it consistently. My back had started hurting, so I had to give up just carrying a purse/briefcase/bag with just a single shoulder strap. Two shoulder straps to equally distribute the weight helped alleviate the pressure/pain. Broader and slightly padded straps would work better, but these are adequate. I'd prefer a bigger backpack, but it can handle most of what I need and still looks professional enough for work. I like all the pockets, though I could cheerfully handle a few more. :) The pen loops don't work for me - too small for most of my pens and the ones that fit also fall out. I don't find the two small outside zip pockets very useful (I keep forgetting they are there and what is in them) - but the longer outside zip pocket is handy for a charging cord and a lens cloth or kleenex and I stick a couple of granola bars in the back magnetic pocket for when meetings keep me from lunch. Initially I kept my kindle inside the main, but once I added the three pen holder and the two pen & glasses case from Levenger, my kindle didn't fit easily anymore. (My kindle has a protective leather cover, which doubles how thick it is.) I also fit in my keys, checkbook, and id; then I'm out of room. :( Ah, well, my kindle's normally in my hands, anyway, so I can read while I walk - and then everything fits. :) I'd like it if the dimensions were a bit bigger and there was a dedicated space/pocket/divider? for the iPad or tablet or kindle. As usual with Levenger, I bought this on sale, as I'd otherwise think it too expensive. That said, it is an excellent, well-designed backpack in a lovely color - an good blend of usefulness and professionalism. In the nearly eight months I've used it, it's still in near perfect shape. A couple of the leather edges are worn and a bit of leather on one corner and on the straps. I hope this purse lasts a while, considering the cost (I'd expect leather to be more durable than cloth). That said, bigger dimensions (WxDxH) and wider & thicker/padded shoulder straps would prompt me to quickly buy another.

I like his casual but stylish look. It's the kind of look I see a lot in the Bay Area. Thanks for letting me know who Gia is.

Love his look and smile - I'd certainly notice him in a "what a lovely looking man" kind of way.

Lovely, dappled lighting in here. I always think everything looks better under the trees! His style certainly evokes the Diesel look. Now you've reminded me of my niece's first clothing line. She's a student at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) and somehow got Urban Outfitters to take her t-shirt designs to sell online. -- J xxx
