don't use
from time to time there is a post like this...
The difficult part of the configuration is the interface with Twitter, and it is not due to the plugin but to Twitter security policies that guarantee users.
Other settings are really intuitive and immediate...
So I have to disagree with you.
lucky you that you find it "Intuitive" ... seems I don't have your intuition :P
The Twitter interface part is objectively complex, but it reflects Twitter security needs...
Then you can understand other options step by step... and, since it is a free plugin, you can also think to write a small starting guide.
I appreciate your comments, th3br41n. Thanks for commenting, as well, ptroxler, but in all practicality there is nothing I can do to make that setup any simpler unless Twitter makes some substantial changes to their API; and although they regularly make changes to their API, they haven't generally tended to make anything simpler.
So.. i installed this plugin and activated it. When i try to go to settings page i get a error saying that i don't have permission to view that page? How do i fix that?
Can you start your own support request, and specify information like your WordPress version, etc.? It's very helpful to me to keep individual support threads unique, rather than changing the topic of a thread periodically.

800-900-5867 | How Much Do I need to Save? | The Retirement Group
Provided by John Jastremski | One rule of thumb is that retirees will need approximately 80% of their preretirement
exactly how much they need to save is another issue altogether. With all the
information available about retirement, it is sometimes difficult to decipher what is
appropriate for your specific situation.
salaries to maintain their lifestyles in retirement. However, depending
on your own situation and the type of retirement you hope to have, that number
may be higher or lower.
Fortunately, there are several factors that can help you work toward a retirement
savings goal.
Retirement Age
The first factor to consider is the age at which you expect to retire. In reality,
many people anticipate that they will retire later than they actually do;
unexpected issues, such as health problems or workplace changes (downsizing,
etc.), tend to stand in their way. Of course, the earlier you retire, the more money
you will need to last throughout retirement. It's important to prepare for
unanticipated occurrences that could force you into an early retirement.
Life Expectancy
Although you can't know what the duration of your life will be, there are a few
factors that may give you a hint.
You should take into account your family history—how long your relatives have
lived and diseases that are common in your family—as well as your own past
and present health issues. Also consider that life spans are becoming longer with
recent medical developments. More people will be living to age 100, or perhaps
even longer. When calculating how much you need to save, you need to factor in
the number of years you will spend in retirement.
Future Health-Care Needs
Another factor to consider is the cost of health care. Health-care costs have been
rising much faster than general inflation, and fewer employers are offering health
benefits to retirees. Long-term care is another consideration. These costs could
severely dip into your savings and even result in your filing for bankruptcy if the
need for care is prolonged.
Factoring in higher costs for health care during retirement is vital, and you might
want to consider purchasing long-term-care insurance to help protect your
Another important consideration is your desired retirement lifestyle. Do you want
to travel? Are you planning to be involved in philanthropic endeavors? Will you
have an expensive country club membership? Are there any hobbies you would
like to pursue? The answers to these questions can help you decide what
additional costs your ideal retirement will require.
Many baby boomers expect that they will work part-time in retirement. However,
if this is your intention and you find that working longer becomes impossible, you
will still need the appropriate funds to support your retirement lifestyle.
If you think you have accounted for every possibility when constructing a savings
goal but forget this vital component, your savings could be far from sufficient.
Inflation has the potential to lower the value of your savings from year to year,
significantly reducing your purchasing power over time. It is important for your
savings to keep pace with or exceed inflation.
Social Security
Many retirees believe that they can rely on their future Social Security benefits.
However, this may not be true for you. The Social Security system is under
increasing strain as more baby boomers are retiring and fewer workers are
available to pay their benefits. And the reality is that Social Security currently
provides only 27% of the total income of Americans aged 65 and older with at
least $50,000 in annual household income.1 That leaves 73% to be covered in
other ways.
And the Total Is…
After considering all these factors, you should have a much better idea of how
much you need to save for retirement.
For example, let's assume you believe that you will retire when you are 65 and
spend a total of 20 years in retirement, living to age 85. Your annual income is
currently $80,000, and you think that 75% of your pre-retirement income
($60,000) will be enough to cover the costs of your ideal retirement, including
some travel you intend to do and potential health-care expenses. After factoring
in the $12,000 annual Social Security benefit you expect to receive, a $10,000
annual pension from your employer, and 4% potential inflation, you end up with a
total retirement savings amount of $760,000. (For your own situation, you can
use a retirement savings calculator from your retirement plan provider or from a
financial site on the Internet.)
The estimated total for this hypothetical example may seem daunting. But after
determining your retirement savings goal and factoring in how much you have
saved already, you will be able to determine how much you need to save each
year to reach your destination. The important thing is to come up with a goal and
then develop a strategy to help reach it. You don't want to spend your retirement
years wishing you had planned ahead when you had the time. The sooner you
start saving and investing to reach your goal, the closer you will be to realizing
your retirement dreams.

Successful companies are those that have an aligned set of goals with buy-in from all levels of their organization. A strong collaborative environment is necessary to ensure that these goals are shared and aligned; however, as companies become more global and the workforce spreads out, creating and maintaining these goals become challenging tasks.
Companies have been turning to collaboration technologies to help meet this challenge. Although the products discussed here provide collaboration capabilities on their own to the organization, a better solution can be an integrated implementation of Lotus Connections, Lotus Sametime, and Lotus Quickr.
Solution overview
The IBM Community Collaboration offering provides the benefit of collaborating beyond the basics afforded by just an email system. It provides capabilities to integrate these tools into a single solution that you can use to share and manage your collective knowledge. These tools provide the ability to communicate instantly, share information, network, and manage teams. Let's look more closely at the three products that make up this bundle.
Lotus Sametime
Lotus Sametime provides organizations with a solution that allows individuals to communicate instantly through chat and meet effectively through online meeting spaces. These features help an organization save time, increase communication effectiveness, and save on the costs involved in bringing groups together physically. Included with Lotus Sametime are the following key features:
- Instant messaging. Allows two or more users to quickly communicate and share information interactively.
- Online meetings. Helps facilitate meetings with multiple users at once, allowing teams to collaborate without having to bring everyone together, face to face. Users in meetings present, share resources, and work together in real time.
- Community. Allows users to broadcast announcements, poll groups of users, and interact with experts to find answers quickly.
Lotus Quickr
Using Lotus Quickr, companies have the ability to facilitate work group teaming and sharing. Through this Web-based application, Lotus Quickr Places can be created for specific purposes that help people work together to achieve a common goal. Lotus Quickr allows the sharing of documents, including check-in/check-out capabilities, discussion areas, shared calendars, and task management, and can also be customized to meet any workspace that a teeam needs.
Lotus Quickr 8 has two editions:
- Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino® is tightly integrated into the IBM Lotus Domino platform.
- Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere® Portal is integrated with the WebSphere Portal platform.
Both editions offer different benefits, and both can be integrated with Lotus Connections and Lotus Sametime to provide a complete collaborative solution.
Additionally, Lotus Quickr comes with connectors that plug into Microsoft® Windows® Explorer, Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes®, and the Lotus Sametime Connect client. With these plug-ins, you can access Lotus Quickr content directly from these applications.
Lotus Connections
Lotus Connections provides business-oriented social networking tools. Its key features are as follows:
- Profiles. Information about members of an organization is stored and can be used to search for people with the knowledge and skills needed.
- Communities. Groups of users can form communities of interest to share knowledge and improve skills.
- Activities. Users can manage coordinated work efforts through tasks and shared supporting documents.
- Dogear. Users can share bookmarks to various Internet and intranet resources.
- Blogs. Users can write articles and share their knowledge with the whole organization using a Web log or online journal.
Another important feature of Lotus Connections is the ability to tag or categorize all the content within it, making information easier to find. Lotus Connections also has a connector that can plug into Microsoft Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office, allowing users to access Lotus Connections features from these applications.
Community Collaboration features
With the Community Collaboration bundle, the integration of these products provides additional key features to an organization. For example, a user's online status is shared among all products, a user can initiate chats with others directly from the various components, and information can be shared quickly with others from multiple integration points. Table 1 outlines where all of the products integrate.

Integrating with Lotus Sametime
For integration between Lotus Sametime and Lotus Quickr, the Lotus Quickr connectors let users directly access Lotus Quickr Place content within the Lotus Sametime Connect client (see figure 1).
Figure 1. Integrating Lotus Sametime and Lotus Quickr
For integration between Lotus Sametime and Lotus Connections, the Lotus Connections plug-in also provides integration from the Lotus Sametime Connect client to Lotus Connections features. Users can save chats to Activities or Community forums, view Activities from Lotus Sametime, and view Profile information from the buddy list (see figure 2).
Figure 2. Integrating Lotus Sametime and Lotus Connections
Lotus Sametime Advanced provides features for building communities of experts, similar to Lotus Connections Communities feature. These two communities can be synchronized so that a Lotus Connections Community user can send broadcasts to members of a Lotus Sametime community, when needing assistance or seeking expertise (see figure 3).
Figure 3. Synching Lotus Sametime and Lotus Connections communities
Integrating with Lotus Quickr
A user accesses Lotus Quickr primarily through the Web browser. This user interface (UI) can also be integrated with Lotus Sametime and provide the ability to see people's online status in Lotus Sametime, allowing them to initiate chats with users and schedule meetings directly from Lotus Quickr (see figure 4).
Figure 4. Integrating Lotus Quickr with Lotus Sametime
Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal also offers the ability to consume Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds from external sources. Using RSS feeds, a Lotus Quickr Place owner can bring additional content from Lotus Connections into a Lotus Quickr Place (see figure 5). Note, however, that this feature is not available in Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino.
Figure 5. Bringing content from Lotus Connections to a Lotus Quickr Place
Integrating with Lotus Connections
The Profiles feature of Lotus Connections can be integrated with Lotus Sametime to provide online awareness within a user's Profile entry (see figure 6). With this feature, a user can see who is available online and can initiate a chat directly with that person.
Figure 6. Integrating Lotus Connections with Lotus Sametime
The Communities feature of Lotus Connections can also consume RSS feeds from external sources. Community owners can bring additional content pertinent to their members from Lotus Quickr Places (see figure 7).

Usage scenarios
Numerous capabilities are available in all three products. Individually, these products provide a company with many benefits, but when integrated, they can provide even greater capabilities. To help articulate this value, here are a few scenarios that demonstrate these benefits.
Lotus Quickr
Lotus Quickr is a tool that provides team-based collaboration. Users are able to post information, perform basic document management functions, and discuss topics. They can also create and share group calendars and tasks. Often, when users are working in a Lotus Quickr Place, they find information posted by others on which they might have a question or with which they need additional assistance. With Lotus Sametime awareness enabled in Lotus Quickr, users can see the online status of others and can quickly contact these members, without going through the Lotus Sametime Connect client to get the help that they need.
Often information that is shared in a Lotus Quickr Place is from external sources. When this information is in Dogear (a feature of Lotus Connections), for example, a Lotus Quickr Place owner can create an RSS feed based on a specific tag and share all the Dogear bookmarks, using that tag directly in a Lotus Quickr Place.
Lotus Quickr is an excellent tool for assembling teams in an organization. When teams need to get together in real time, Lotus Quickr can be integrated with Lotus Sametime to allow Lotus Quickr Place members to schedule online meetings directly from the Place. Lotus Quickr Place members can quickly see when meetings are scheduled and can attend those meetings based on the information in the Place.
Lotus Connections
Using the Profiles feature of Lotus Connections, users in an organization can look up information about others. With Lotus Sametime integrated into Profiles, users can search the profiles to find an expert, and from that profile they can immediately initiate a chat session with them.
Lotus Connections Profiles can also be customized to display other data about users. If users have a personal Lotus Quickr Entry Place where they share files, for example, then their Profiles business card can also include a link directly to their Personal Entry Place. This link lets others see what files they have shared and made available publicly.
Lotus Connections Communities provide users with the ability to form a community of interest and often include a Lotus Quickr Place where users can share information and documents. Through RSS feeds from Lotus Quickr, Lotus Connections Communities can include information from these Lotus Quickr Places directly in the Community home page.
Lotus Sametime
The Lotus Sametime Connect client lets users chat with one or more other users. With the Lotus Quickr Connectors for the Lotsu Sametime Connect client, a user can advance his collaborative ability by providing shared access to Lotus Quickr content within a chat. If two users are discussing a problem that has been documented and stored in a Lotus Quickr Place, one user can share links to Lotus Quickr content and access Lotus Quickr information directly from the Lotus Sametime Connect client.
Using the Lotus Sametime Connect client, users can also quickly find and share information with various Lotus Connections features. For example, after completing a chat, users can immediately save that chat into an Activity or Community forum, making the chat transcript available for other interested users to read.
Additionally, from within their Lotus Sametime buddy list, users can see more detailed information about other users through the Lotus Connections Profiles business card. They can hover over a name in their buddy list and get this information directly in the Lotus Sametime Connect client, without having to look them up in Profiles.
Solution prerequisites
To achieve a highly integrated collaboration environment with the Community Collaboration bundle, there are a few prerequisites that must be met, the most important of which is an enterprise-scale Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-enabled directory.
Common LDAP-enabled directory
Most companies have a user directory in their environment. To effectively integrate all the Community Collaboration products, you must have an enterprise directory solution in place that is LDAP-enabled, and it should encompass the entire employee population. Security should be in place to ensure that user names and passwords are not compromised, and policies and procedures should be in place to ensure that users and groups can be managed effectively.
Although it is not required, providing users with self-service capabilities, such as password management, could help improve user efficiency. Also, the management of group memberships (for example, community memberships) should be given to the lowest level feasible in the organization.
Minimum LDAP requirements
All three products in this offering require an LDAP-enabled enterprise directory, within which there is a minimum required data set (see table 2).
Table 2. Definitions of the minimal LDAP data requirements
|Distinguished name
|The LDAP directory should have a hierarchical structure. A distinguished name based on the organizational structure is required of any LDAP directory, to ensure the uniqueness of all users in the organization.
|Unique identifier/user name
|A unique identifier that is used by all users to log in. This uid should be recognizable to all users and easily remembered.
|Last name
|A last name (surname) must be defined for all user accounts.
|Email address
|All users must have an email address defined in the directory. The mail attribute is necessary for the various products to send email notifications to users.
LDAP directory software requirements
All the products offered in this bundle have the following requirements for an LDAP-enabled enterprise directory:
- IBM Tivoli® Directory Server 6.0
- IBM Lotus Domino 7.0 and 8.0.2
- Microsoft Active Directory 2003
- Sun Java⢠Directory Server 5.2
Note that these are the LDAP directories that all products combined support. Each individual product has slightly different requirements.
Beyond the basics
Although it is not required for operating these products in the environment, some of, if not all, the data outlined in table 3 should be available in the LDAP directory.
Table 3. Optional data requirements and the reasons for their value
|Building Identifier
|Describe the building in which a person is located
|This data is useful for helping others identify the building location for a person when an organization has a multiple-building campus.
|Department Number
|Identifies the department for which a person works
|As the Lotus Connections Profile feature can be used by both users and systems, the department number can be useful for these entities.
|Display Name
|A user-readable display of a person's name
|This data is useful in all three products to help display a user-friendly version of the person's name.
|Employee Number
|Identifies the person's unique company identity number
|Often systems need this ID for uniquely identifying employees at a company. This data is also useful for supporting synchronization between LDAP and other systems containing employee data.
|Fax Telephone Number
|The user's fax telephone number
|If fax communication is important in an organization, this data can also be useful for users to look up.
|The floor where a person is located
|This data is useful for helping other people identify another person's floor.
|Given Name
|First name
|This data is useful for identifying a person's name, other than through the last name.
|Is Manager
|Indicates whether a person is a manager in the organization
|For both users and systems, this data is useful to help identify the managers of the organization. Certain features can also use this field to help generate a hierarchical structure of the organization.
|Identifies the manager of the person
|For both other users and systems, this data is useful to help identify managers of the organization and for showing the hierarchy of the organization.
|Mobile Telephone Number
|Person's mobile telephone number
|This data is useful for disseminating information important for communicating.
|Office Address
|Person's office address
|This data helps identify the physical location of a person.
|Name of the assistant for a person in the organization
|This data is useful in facilitating communications with business managers, team leaders, and executives.
|Telephone Number
|Person's office telephone number
|This data is useful for disseminating information important for facilitating communications among people in the organization.
|Time zone
|Person's time zone where they are physically located
|This data helps users and systems know where a person is located.
|Job title of a person
|This data helps identify what a person does in the organization.
|Work Location
|Such as in an office, mobile, or work from home
|This data helps identify where a person is typically located during the work day.
Openness in the organization
The effectiveness of this suite of collaboration tools lies not only in how it's used but in the fact that it allows the organization to openly collaborate. A key business requirement for deploying and integrating these tools should be to allow the organization to generate ideas and to organize teams both formally and informally. Businesses gain the biggest benefits by opening these tools to everyone, so that they can help improve the business and be more effective in their work.
Implementing the solution
The integration of Lotus Connections, Lotus Sametime, and Lotus Quickr offers a number of advanced features beyond what the products offer individually. The steps required to integrate the three products overall are simple and involve some basic configuration steps, detailed in the following sections. Note that it's assumed that all three products have already been deployed in the organization and have all been configured to work with the same LDAP-enabled directory in the environment.
Implementing single sign-on (SSO)
Single sign-on (SSO) is important for a seamlessly integrated environment. SSO ensures that a user can log into one of the products and be automatically authorized to access any of the other products without a subsequent login. All the products support the Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) protocol. For LTPA to work in the environment, all the products must share the same LTPA key and be part of the same Internet domain.
NOTE: If SSO and LTPA are already set up, then you can skip this section.
Follow these steps to set up SSO for all three products:
- Configure Lotus Connections SSO. After installing Lotus Connections, you need to set up LTPA on the IBM WebSphere Application Server that hosts Lotus Connections. This step is typically done when Lotus Connections is installed, but it is an optional step. If LTPA is already configured for Lotus Connections, then all you need to do is export the LTPA keys. Otherwise, create the SSO configuration and export the LTPA keys, using the instructions in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
- Configure Lotus Sametime SSO. In Lotus Sametime, an SSO LTPA token is created by default during installation. First, you must delete this token:
- Using a Lotus Notes client, open the Lotus Domino Directory (Names.nsf) on the Lotus Sametime server.
- Select Web - Web Configuration - Web SSO Configuration for LtpaToken and delete it.
- Replicate the changes to all Lotus Sametime servers in the environment.
Now, configure SSO:
- Click Create Web SSO Configuration.
- Set the Organization and DNS Domain field values.
- Select Keys - Import WebSphere LTPA keys. A window displays that prompts for the location of the export file you created in step 1.
- Save and close the document.
- Enable multi-server SSO for all the Lotus Domino servers hosting Lotus Sametime.
- Replicate the changes around the Lotus Sametime environment and restart Lotus Sametime.
Further details on setting up SSO can be found in the Lotus Sametime Information Center.
- Configure Lotus Quickr SSO. If you are using Lotus Quickr Services for Lotus Domino, follow these steps:
- On the Lotus Quickr servers, create and configure the Lotus Domino Web Server Configuration database.
- Configure this database to map the user login to the Lotus Quickr SSO login form, as detailed in the Lotus Quickr Information Center.
If the Lotus Domino server hosting Lotus Quickr is not in the same Lotus Domino domain as the Lotus Sametime server configured in Step 2, do the following:
- Create the Web SSO document in the Lotus Domino Directory for Lotus Quickr and import the LTPA keys from WebSphere Application Server. This step is identical to the process used in step 2.
- In Lotus Domino, enable Multi-Server SSO for the Lotus Domino servers hosting Lotus Quickr.
If you are using Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal, LTPA is already configured, but you might need to update the configuration to import the keys generated from the Lotus Connections WebSphere Application Server. Remember that all servers in the environment must be in the same Internet domain and share the same LTPA keys. For details on updating the LTPA configuration, refer to the section "Import Keys" in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
- Test the configuration. To validate whether the SSO configuration is in place and working as expected, log into each product and ensure that there is no subsequent log-in prompt when accessing any of the other products. Test the SSO combinations between Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr, Lotus Connections and Lotus Sametime, and Lotus Quickr and Lotus Sametime to validate the configuration.
Enabling Lotus Sametime awareness in Lotus Quickr
Lotus Sametime awareness lets users see the online status of others in Lotus Sametime, directly from Lotus Quickr. The steps here show you how to accomplish this configuration. Note that Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino and Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal have different configuration steps, both of which are included below.
- Configure Lotus Sametime to be case insensitive. This configuration ensures that all requests for awareness are processed correctly; by default Lotus Sametime is case sensitive, which can lead to problems. This capability is available only in Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 and later.
- Edit the Sametime.ini file for the Lotus Sametime Community Servers, adding the following to the [Config] section:
- Also in the Sametime.ini file under the section [STLINKS] append â-DAWARENESS_CASE_SENSITIVE=0â to the STLINKS_VM_ARGS setting as follows:
STLINKS_VM_ARGS=-Xmx128m -Xgcpolicy:optavgpause
- Last, update the stlinks.js file. Edit this file on all Community Servers in the [Domino Data Directory]\domino\html\sametime\stlinks directory and change the variable STlinksCaseSensitive to false, as follows:
var STlinksCaseSensitive=false
- Edit the Sametime.ini file for the Lotus Sametime Community Servers, adding the following to the [Config] section:
- Configure awareness in Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino only. Specify the Lotus Sametime Community server to Lotus Quickr. To do this step, go to the Site Administration interface of Lotus Quickr and edit the Other Options section, adding the community server's fully qualified host name to the Lotus Sametime Community Server field.
These changes take a few minutes to take effect. You can either wait or restart the Lotus Quickr server. Test whether the changes are integrated by logging in to Lotus Quickr and validating awareness.
- Configure Awareness in Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal only. Edit the CSEnvironment.properties file, which is located in the [Portal Server Directory]\shared\app\config directory, by changing the following settings:
CS_SERVER_SAMETIME.enabled=true CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.hostname=[Sametime server host name] CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.version=7.5.1 CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.initclass=com.ibm.wkplc.people.tag.AwarenessInitLwp CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.useLTPAToken=true CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnAuthorSeparator=/ CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.watchnameformat=dn CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.resolveNames=false
Additionally, comment out the following lines (add a # character to the front of the line):
# CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.serverappPort=8082 # CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.reconnect=10 # CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.timeout=50 # CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.nameFormatForResolve=dn # CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnNameSeparator=,
Save and close the file.
- Be sure that Lotus Sametime is configured to look up users in the LDAP directory, using the mail attribute. (If you have a default installation of Lotus Sametime, it already does this task.)
- If users in the environment also use the Mozilla Firefox browser, then copy the stlinks folder from the Lotus Sametime server to the Lotus Quickr server:
- The stlinks folder is in the [Domino Data Directory]\domino\html\sametime directory; copy it to the [Quickr Install Directory]\profiles\installedApps\[cell name]\wps.ear\wps.war\sametime directory.
- Also, copy the stlinks.jar file from the sametime\stlinks\signed directory to the stlinks directory on Lotus Quickr, overwriting the existing file.
- Finally, restart the Lotus Quickr server; awareness should now be available.
Enabling the Lotus Sametime Members Online applet
Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino has a Members Online applet that shows the status of all users who are members of a Lotus Quickr Place. To enable this applet, add the Lotus Sametime toolkit files STComm.jar, CommRes.jar, and the PeopleOnline31.jar file from the Lotus Quickr server to the Lotus Sametime server. This process is further detailed in the Lotus Quickr Information Center.
Enabling Lotus Sametime online meetings from Lotus Quickr
To allow users to schedule meetings from Lotus Quickr, copy the files STMtgManagement.jar, STCore.jar, ServiceLocator.properties, and sametime.ini to the Lotus Domino program directory on the Lotus Quickr server. These files are found in the Lotus Domino directory of the Lotus Sametime server.
Edit the Notes.ini file on Lotus Quickr, modifying it as follows:
JavaUserClassesExt=QPJC1,QPJC2,QPJC3,QPJC4 QPJC1=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\quickplace.jar QPJC2=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\log4j-118compat.jar QPJC3=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STCore.jar QPJC4=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STMtgManagement.jar
Enabling Lotus Sametime awareness in Lotus Connections
Lotus Sametime awareness in Lotus Connections 2.0 is available with the Profiles feature. Integration of awareness is done through a compatible Lotus Sametime client on the workstation. Currently the only supported clients are Lotus Sametime Connect client 7.5.1 and 8.x, and the integrated Lotus Sametime Lotus Notes client is supported in Lotus Notes 8.0.2 and later.
To enable Lotus Sametime awareness for the Profiles feature, follow these steps:
- Edit the Profiles configuration file, using the wsadmin interface.
- Find the line for the Lotus Sametime awareness feature identified by <sametimeAwareness enabled="false"/.>
- Change the enabled attribute to true.
- Restart the WebSphere Application Server that hosts the Profiles feature.
Further details for this process can be found in the Lotus Connections Information Center.
Integrating Lotus Quickr Entry into the Profiles business card
With Lotus Quickr Entry, individual users can host their own Lotus Quickr Place and share content with other users. If this feature is available in the environment, then a link to a user's personal Lotus Quickr Place can be added to their Profiles Business Card.
To enable this integration, follow these steps:
- Edit the Lotus Connections configuration through the wsadmin interface, adding the following service reference to the configuration:
<sloc:serviceReference serviceName="quickr" href="http://[Quickr Host Name]/servlet" enabled="true" ssl_href="https://[Quickr Host Name]/servlet" ssl_enabled="true" person_card_service_url_pattern="/QuickrEntry?email={email}" person_card_service_name_js_eval="generalrs.label_personcard_quickrlink"/>
- Save and apply the configuration change.
- Restart the WebSphere Application Server that hosts the Profiles feature.
This procedure is detailed further in the Lotus Quickr Information Center.
Configuring synchronization between Lotus Connections and Lotus Sametime Advanced
To allow synchronization between Lotus Sametime broadcast communities and Lotus Connections communities, follow these steps:
- Add an administrative user to the Communities server.
- Access the Lotus Sametime Advanced server as a Lotus Sametime Advanced administrative user.
- Select Administration - Administrative Settings - Server Configuration - Lotus Connections.
- Select https protocol, and enter the Communities host name and port details.
- Enter the user name and password for the Lotus Communities administrative user created in step 1.
- Select the Enable Daily Community Synchronization option.
- Click Save and click Synchronize Now to test the configuration.
Installing Lotus Quickr connectors
Lotus Quickr comes with a client component known as the Lotus Quickr connectors. These connectors allow users to access Lotus Quickr content directly from desktop applications such as Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes, and Lotus Sametime Connect. There are two approaches to installing the connectors:
They can be deployed automatically to users through an automated software distribution solution. The Lotus Quickr Connectors installer supports a scripted and silent installation method, the details of which are in the
Lotus Quickr Information Center
You can let users install the connectors themselves. The Lotus Quickr server by default has a link at the bottom of any Lotus Quickr page to the Lotus Quickr connector installer, which users can download and run. Users have options to integrate with Microsoft Office, Lotus Notes, and Lotus Sametime.
Lotus Connections plug-in
The Lotus Connections plug-in provides integration with Lotus Connections from Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, and Windows Explorer. This tool does not come with Lotus Connections but is available in the Lotus Connections Solution Catalog.
Like the Lotus Quickr connectors, the plug-in can be installed using two methods; that is, it can be deployed using an automated tool or installed manually by a user.
Also, note that the Activities sidebar in Lotus Notes 8 comes with Lotus Notes 8 Standard and is not a part of the Lotus Connections plug-ins. The Lotus Notes components in the Lotus Connections plug-ins are supported only with Lotus Notes 7.
The Lotus Quickr, Lotus Sametime, and Lotus Connections products can provide a great deal of value to an organization individually. By having all three integrated within the same environment, however, you can realize an even higher level of value from this solution. It enhances communications through presence awareness and instant chat from multiple entry points, helps facilitate knowledge sharing through multiple product features, and improves workflow and work processes in the organization.
This solution is designed to organize and improve work efforts, provide productive teaming opportunities, help users find and access knowledgeable resources and instantly connect with them, and share and make available intellectual capital to the whole organization.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shalini Windows for a Windowless Room! This is a great piece and is perfect in my basement media room. It brightens up the wall and is a great composition. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and is ready to hang. Very happy with it. January 20, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by SRQGoddess1 City Windows Artwork I love my City Windows Artwork. When I look at it, I feel like I'm looking out my window in Paris. Beautifully done. Large and looks great in my bedroom. Recommend it highly. February 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Harpo Much nicer than the photo on line I was looking for a wall hanging to use by our kitchen table. The French setting was perfect & looked so much nicer in person. I love the photo & the colors along with the large, long size of it!! March 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NalaKira Citylights wallart This picture far exceeded my expectations for the $. I have been looking for something to fill an area that was not a typical "picture" and not typical "wall decor" like a mirror or metal. This fit the bill perfectly. First purchase - I will return for additional purchases in the future! June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsDee City Windows I agree with other reviewers that the photo does not do this artwork justice. It is absolutely the most beautiful piece of artwork and is so versatile, it fits great with any decor! I am very pleased with my purchase! June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Iluvchet Loooooove it! I am remodeling and have just finished my guest room. I saw this picture and was immediately drawn to it. How perfect for a room that visitors will be staying in, considering it looked totally European to me...the theme of the room. This picture is absolutely gorgeous and would recommend highly. I just lovvvvvve, loooooove it! July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dfwguy They don't sell junk We purchased this City Windows Artwork to enhance our two 19th century Chinese wooden window shutters which are about the same sides of the panels they display in the ad. We had places these shutters in a half dozen places never finding the right spot or look. This art work really did the trick. Very good Quality and large enough to use with our shutters. We have never purchased anything from this company that wasn't the best quality. July 24, 2014

Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
Ultimate in comfort food dinner, and very easy to make. I got this as a "starter" from Emeril 5-6 years ago, and altered to represent real life circumstance of "leftovers", but the results are to die for. Leftover stuffing can also be added, and this kicks the spicing up "differently", given the variations of how you might choose to grind giblets, neck meat, etc into it, and/or use 12 grain bread for stuffing mix.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery rib
- 1 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic cloves
- 1⁄2 cup flour or 1⁄2 cup cornstarch
- 1 1⁄2-2 lbs cooked chicken (i.e. "leftover) or 1 1⁄2-2 lbs turkey meat, chopped to chunks (skinless boneless)
- 2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 potatoes, skinned and diced
- 3 large carrots, peeled and coined
- 1 1⁄2 cups frozen tiny peas
- 1 pie crust
- Melt the margarine/butter in a pan at low heat and add celery, garlic, peppers and onion and cook until translucent.
- Add gravy and/or chicken stock and heat until bubbly, then add flour and or cornstarch, mixing well to form a "roux".
- Add potato, chicken/turkey, carrots, and peas.
- Heat until at a full simmer.
- Season with salt & pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning, to taste.
- Empty into a Dutch oven and cover with a pie crust, venting to suit.
- Cook in a 350°F oven for 90 minutes, and serve.

Well! After the other review I was a bit nervous of making this... Christmas has not been good to our wastelines! Never the less, I made it for 5 people for dinner last night and the only substitution was that I used a little Olive Oil in place of the cup of margarine. Everyone raved about it, and it was a real success. From the left over crust dough, my father in law cut an L and placed it on top, to show it's my first time with the recipe and it's a learner pie! It won't be the last time though. It was simple and quick and delicious. Thanks Chef!
I did not make this, however, if you look at the calories 1333 (not to mention the portion is 1.5 lbs) is almost a full days worth of energy. Not exactly something people should be eating with any regularity. The submitter had it right when they said it's "to die for", because you will if this is your normal meal intake.

We are using the OpenVPN module on Untangle and it works fine. However, when we send the client to a user, and it is installed, all they have to do is right click the client and they can connect to our OpenVPN server.
While it does appear that the user can right click, configure the option to add their own username/pass, is there a way to do this ahead of time, before sending them a client? We are coming from a Cisco VPN background where we could do this and it added an extra layer of security for us in case the client system was ever compromised.

Aerial - the woven wool upholstery collection by Eleanor Pritchard.
The reversible double-cloth designs have a pared-back geometric patterning and a strong graphic quality. The palette includes deep inky tones, cross hatched greys, hot orange, straw yellow and black and white marls. Drawing inspiration from sound waves and radio transmission, the fabric names reference UK transmitter masts.
Complementing the patterned double-cloths are four co-ordinating pick-and-pick 'ground' cloths.
The fabrics are all designed and sampled by Eleanor Pritchard in the London studio and are woven in Scotland on the Isle of Bute.
The fabrics are suitable for both contract and domestic use, and the stock range is available to order by the metre. We also offer a bespoke design service for larger projects.

This should be music to the ears of Arsenal fans everywhere, because ever since the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich started pumping money into Chelsea, the Blues have regularly been able to beat the Gunners to any transfer targets that both clubs want, as well as being able to poach the likes of Ashley Cole with the offer of a massive hike in salary.

Arsenal linked with yet another keeper
It seems to me that every year there are hundreds of Arsenal transfer rumours linking us with just about every goalkeeper in the world, whether they are available or not! This year seems to be no exception, despite both Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski having quite good runs between the sticks.
Could Gnabry take Walcott's place at Arsenal?
Promoting Gnabry by KJ
The Walcott contract situation is dragging on now and even though I remain optimistic, we need to prepare ourselves for the worst. Walcott could potentially be sold in the January window, forcing Wenger to promote German wunderkind, Serge Gnabry.
Agent – Arsenal favourites to sign Serdar Tasci!
Arsenal have been linked with lots of players at the World Cup, but today they are being reported as favourites to sign a Germany squad player that hasn't even figured in the first team yet!
Hleb available on the cheap!
So how many Arsenal fans can remember how good the Gunners were with Alexsandr Hleb and Matthew Flamini were in the team. Flamini couldn't be persuaded to sign a new contract as he had been ignored for the previous three years, and Hleb went off in a sulk because the 'weather wasn't good enough in London'!
Hleb tells Fabregas – Stay at Arsenal and win the Premiership!
The ex-Arsenal midfielder Aleksandr Hleb, who famously forced Arsene Wenger to sell him to Barcelona, is advising Cesc Fabregas (and Gael Clichy) not to make the same mistake that he made.
Arsenal rumours 25th April – Pepe Reina, Hangeland, Clichy and Rosicky
There seems to be an air of desperation in the Sundays papers today when it comes to any Arsenal transfer news, especially after Arsene Wenger's outburst the other evening when he was quizzed by journalists about his transfer plans.
He said: "We are at the moment not on the transfer market,".
Arsenal bid for Stuttgart keeper rejected?
I have absolutely no idea where this Arsenal rumour came from. Well I mean of course I know that it was first reported in the Daily Mail, but they don't give any sources for it at all.

About Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
Return on Invested Capital evaluates companies by asking, How much net income has been generated per each dollar of invested capital? For instance, if a stakeholder gave one dollar to this company, how much money would the company earn by investing that one dollar? A ROIC of 5% means that a company earns 5 dollars per 100 dollars invested.
ROIC is often considered a more reasonable estimate of managerial performance than Return on Equity (ROE) because it takes into account investments by debt holders. Similarly, it is different from Return on Assets because it includes capital that shareholders have invested into the company.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2005
Running Time: 72
Director: Ramsey Karson
Company: TVX Home Video
Cast: John Gilliam, Cris Cassidy, Linda O'Bryant, Turk Lyon, Jon Martin, Rick Lutz, Lori Rhodes, Mike Ranger, Serena (I), Georgina Spelvin, Mark Howard, Mack Howard, Leslie Bovee, Dorothy Le May, John Leslie, Samantha Cardin
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Golden Age
More fun for the golden age section.
Just when you think the three gardeners are going to throw her in the pond, they take Leslie Bovee upstairs and rape her in the living room. Even though she becomes a suddenly willing participant once the action starts, it's still the kind of romance one rarely if ever sees these days in today's story-driven porno.
But it's not the fault of the horny guys, it's the amulet worn by Bovee that drives men to commit such acts. The amulet gets passed around, just like the women who wear it. Fortunately, there are some super-hot dolls involved, in particular Samantha (aka Monique) Cardin, Dorothy Le May and Serena.
Modern porn fans who can get through the muff will see some familiar acts, like the double b.j., d.p. and pissing. The box cover says Sensual Encounters was nominated for Best Picture in 1978, though it doesn't say who did the nominating. Then again, who can remember 27 years later? Whether or not it was one of that year's best, most of the scenes still hold up.

Hi Mike,
I created a form for my client to enter an appointment date and time to meet me.
The admin side receives an email containing the date and time (no problem).
However, the sender side only receives the date correctly, but the time field is still displayed as "[time]", instead of an actual time.
I am using WP 3.6.1, and your latest plugin 4.0.15.
Please advise. Thanks.

This article tries to present a broad view on the values and ethicalissues that are at stake in efforts to rationalize health policy on thebasis of economic evaluations (like cost-effectiveness analysis) andrandomly controlled clinical trials. Though such a rationalization isgenerally seen as an objective and `value free' process, moral valuesoften play a hidden role, not only in the production of `evidence', butalso in the way this evidence is used in policy making. For example, thedefinition of effectiveness of medical treatment or health care serviceis heavily dependent on dominant individual or social views about thegoals of the particular treatment or service. There is also a concernthat a reliance on EBM in health policy will occur at the expense ofwidely shared social values like equity and solidarity. Moreover, thereis a concern that when economic considerations and rational proceduresbecome more influential, various `outside' groups third parties likeinsurance companies and policy makers will get a stronger influence onmedical practice which may lead to a change in the patient-providerrelationship. The authors conclude that social values and patientpreference should be explicitly addressed when health policy making isbased on economic and other scientific evidence.

In this paper a new model for studying cardio-renal reflex dynamics has been introduced. Such models are important since by understanding cardio-renal dynamics well, better total artificial heart (TAH) implants may be designed and/or better drug treatment plans may be developed for helping TAH patients. The model introduced combines relevant parts of the two cardiovascular system models developed previously by Guyton et. al. A simulation of total surgical cardiac denervation (a condition which results in TAH implants), has resulted in an increase in the blood volume below the experimentally observed values. A correction of the kidney model including the effect of the renal sympathetic nerve activity on the set point of the tubulo-glomerular feedback mechanism is suggested.

Editor: The Iraq veteran's letter of July 17, likely represents many servicemen and women.
Please hopefully consider another perspective he might find reasonable.
Many hold you should not have been there in the first place. But, fighting with patchwork armor for vehicles, insufficient ordnance, equipment poorly maintained, troops inadequately supplied and maintained all add to the conundrum.
The call up of out-of-shape, aging reservists and extending tours compound the critical status of our forces. Potential recruits are not deaf or blind. They're unresponsive to recruiting efforts. Who blames them?
Our thousands of dead, our tens of thousands wounded and dismembered, and the horrific numbers of innocent Iraqis killed and maimed, even by their own, give reasoned laser-like focus to challenge this administration's policies and decisions.
While in Iraq, you had only the viewpoint of U.S. media which may have appeared to trivialize our dead, casualties and military actions. We who oppose the political conduct of the war truly empathize with you.
We cannot pull out. On that we all agree. Arms, material and additional troops are to be sacrificed as Congress proposes to strip military funding to feed pork-barrel legislation just to maintain tax reductions for the wealthy. The reality is self-interest; power manipulating politics.
Please, rethink what you perceive as those who'd leave you turning in the wind. You'll discover unity among the politically diverse with heartfelt support for you.
Our unwilling blind support of President Bush foists attacks to label us disloyal and unpatriotic. Hear rather, the whimpering of majority bullies railing against a new insurgency determined to support you!
We all want you all at home. But this was a political agenda for war planned well before 2000 and executed on lies.
It is unconscionable to leave our forces in harm's way and innocent Iraq citizens in the lurch.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 2001
Running Time: 90
Director: Pat Myne
Company: Metro Distributors
Cast: Ashley (I), Erik Everhard, Pat Myne, Shelbee Myne, T.J. Hart, Kelsey Heart, Amber Michaels, Others
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Anal filler.
Though there's hot sex, the video gets it ass backwards - literally - with its overpowering soundtrack that drowns out the oh-so-sweet sounds of fucking.
It's a problem that plagues the video and turns what could have been strongly strokable sex scenes from Shelbee Myne (nice and enthusiastic scene), Ashley (great anal), T.J. Hart (who looks great in her scene) and the underrated Kelsey Heart (doing a dynamic d.p.) tepid.
However, Amber Michaels' scene seems to get it right. The music is not as loud and doesn't get in the way of enjoying Michaels deep throat a cock and take it loud and proud in her holes. The angles used when she goes into cowgirl accentuate the great ass she has, but it's too little too late.

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Naugle once discovered the key to a hidden fortune toasted onto a grilled cheese sandwich. It sure was tasty.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of National Treasure (Blu-Ray) (published May 2nd, 2008) and National Treasure: Two-Disc Collector's Edition (published December 24th, 2007) are also available.
The Charge
The greatest adventure history has ever revealed.
Opening Statement
A surprise hit at the box office in 2004, director Jon Turteltaub's National Treasure ignited moviegoers' imaginations with its rush of adventure and a family-friendly PG rating. Starring Nicolas Cage (The Family Man), Jon Voight (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), Diane Kruger (Wicker Park), Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction), Sean Bean (Goldeneye), and Christopher Plummer (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), National Treasure makes its thrilling DVD debut care of Walt Disney Home Entertainment.
Facts of the Case
Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicholas Cage) is the last in a long line of historical treasure hunters convinced that a fortune in Egyptian bling-bling is hidden somewhere in America, and that the clues to its location are printed, scribbled, and hidden all over our most precious historic documents. It seems that, decades upon decades ago, some Masonic descendants—including nine signers of the Declaration of Independence—had the Knights Templar hide an incredible fortune throughout the years. Gates thinks that he's cracked the code, which is printed on the back of our nation's one-dollar bill, as well as the Declaration of Independence, which Gates steals for two reasons: (1) to get the invisible code printed on the back of it; and (2) to keep it out of the hands of Ian Howe (Sean Bean), a fellow treasure hunter who couldn't care less what—or whom—he ruins in the process of obtaining his fortunes.
Aided by a feisty archivist, Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), and a sarcastic techno-junkie named Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), Gates must outwit both Ian Howe and the U.S. government to find the riches he's been searching for all his life.
The Evidence
Disney's mega-box office hit National Treasure is one of those movies that is endlessly entertaining while simultaneously making no sense whatsoever. Oh, I'm sure that in some form or another, if you really paid attention to the plot, the movie would come together the same way a child's red wagon will come together even if you don't read the directions; it'll just be a goofy-lookin' wagon. The good news is that you only need to know the basic gist of the thing—obsessed treasure hunter uses our national history to help him find fortune and glory—to really enjoy a movie like National Treasure.
Some have likened National Treasure to the book The Da Vinci Code, as well as the Indiana Jones films and every other action movie ever made starring Nicolas Cage. They are correct. National Treasure steals from every source under the sun, and then some—either by plot, character, action, dialogue, or exposition. By no means is National Treasure an original movie, but it is a well constructed one that often rises above its stupendous flaws and contradictions.
I'm sure we could write volumes about why Nicolas Cage is considered an action star, and multiple volumes about why he shouldn't be let near an action movie set. I have my conflicting opinions—while I wasn't a fan of such movies as Gone in 60 Seconds or Con Air, I think Hollywood has worn me down to the point where I'm indifferent about Cage as an action star. Whatever, fine, okay…you got me. Let the guy run around exploding planes if you must, but make sure the movie around him is enthralling.
I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I liked National Treasure. I had fun with it, even when it was too goofy for its own good. Of course, I found it hard to believe that our founding fathers would construct an invisible map on the back of the Declaration of Independence—it seems there were more pressing matters at the time that document was being drawn up. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was Ben Franklin who said (and I'm paraphrasing), "Give me liberty or give me a Jerry Bruckheimer movie." I also found it difficult to watch Nic Cage stealing the nation's most important document, then carrying it across multiple states without the thing getting ripped, torn, or ruined. Hell, I can't get from Chicago to Milwaukee without scratching up at least two CDs in my car.
But I'm nitpicking. The movie clips along at a breakneck pace, and the actors, while two-dimensional, are engaging in a "turn your brain off" sort of way. Nicolas Cage, who is balding in real life but adds years of growth onto his head with each passing movie, is able to play the determined oddball well. He is complemented by a fine supporting cast including Jon Voight as his worried father, Sean Bean as his arch-nemesis, Diane Kruger as his love interest, and in a blink-or-you'll-miss-it cameo, Christopher Plummer as a grandfather with an adventurer's twinkle in his eye.
In the end, it isn't the actors we're paying attention to as much as the special effects and breakneck pacing. Though National Treasure isn't as effects-riddled as something like The Mummy Returns (a movie National Treasure seems to share a kinship with), it's full of rousing chase sequences, a few explosions, and an ending that seems preposterous but fitting for the proceedings. I don't know as I'd consider this movie to be a real cinematic treasure, but it is a lot of fun (sans lots of violence, sex, and profanity), and that counts for something.
National Treasure is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. The Mouse House has made sure that fans get a decent looking transfer, though there are a few problem spots, including haloing in the image. Overall, the colors and black levels are solid and dark without any dirt or grain in the picture. While the transfer is good, it's not great, and in this day and age of DVD, that's somewhat of a shame.
The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English. This 5.1 mix is very good—there are many instances that require the use of all six speakers, and this track steps up to the challenge. Trevor Rabin's action-oriented score is prominently displayed while crumbling rock, screeching cars, and gunfire blasts fill the background. Also included on this disc is an alternate French soundtrack, as well as Spanish and French subtitles.
Sift through National Treasure's extra features and you'll find a goldmine of supplements! Okay, well, maybe not a gold mine, but you'll find a few that should placate rabid fans. First up are a few featurettes, including "National Treasure On Location," "Treasure Hunters Revealed," "The Templar Knights," and "Riley Poole's Decode This!" The longest featurette ("National Treasure On Location") runs a little over ten minutes long and is, alas, mostly just promotional fluff for the film. The rest of the featurettes don't fare much better—they cover everything from looking at real life treasure hunters to making the viewer play silly little games and decode riddles to watch them. If you're a fan of the film I'm sure you'll enjoy these; otherwise, the rest of us can skip right along.
Next up are two deleted scenes running just under eight minutes, and a cheesy alternate ending that was—thankfully—dropped from the final cut of the film. An opening scene CGI animatic is exactly what it sounds like, and the optional trivia track doles out fun facts about the movie as it plays.
Finally there are trailers for the movies Herbie: Fully Loaded, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Tarzan II, and The Pacifier, as well as a Verizon Wireless commercial. Blah.
Closing Statement
If you're looking for an action movie you can watch with your kids, National Treasure is the way to go. I was taken aback at how much I liked this movie, even with its apparent flaws. National Treasure is easily worth a Friday night rental with your family, or the date who doesn't like violent action flicks.
The Verdict
Hey, it's pretty silly stuff…but I was entertained.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give National Treasure a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.
