The forum is out of maintenance mode and back to normal operations.

I recall one story on the website where some young people organised a party for their parents but couldn't afford to be the first type of host (due to the number of relatives they had!) so had arranged for the guests to help with food, etc. IE. they were being host type 2. Their uncle then blasted them for this, saying they should have been the first type of host or give up the idea of the party entirely.

The mainsite is very good, lots of movie & tv-show news.
But their forums is a whole different story. Yes, you can meet a lot of people there who has the same taste as you and have some nice talks with them.
But then there is the dark side of the forums: Trolls, spammers, virus & trojan spreaders, people sharing links to copyrighted streams & downloads AND admins who does not take their jobs that seriously any more.
There are lots of cases, where people has done a good deed and reported abuse, then just to discover, that the admins does nothing to stop it.
Its like the admins almost has given up the forums and if that actually is the case, then they might as well shut down the forums completely, before IMDb gets in to serious trouble with the copyright owners for copyright violation, which also is being done in the forums, but ignored by admins when reported.
What also is needed is to make the ignore function of users much more brutal, so that topics created by spammers, trolls etc. vanishes completely and remains vanished even if people already have responded or later responds to the person.
Currently the ignore function is rather useless, because if some one has responded or later responds to the spammers and trolls posted messages, then they remain, which only is a thorn in the side for those who wants to have everything ignored by the person.
I am an avid moviegoer and have been for decades now. Now to prevent the heartache of wasting time behind a movie full of hot air, I ensure I read it up at IMDB. Prefer them to the many others around and with the Great Roger Ebert now gone this site i believe is only going to keep growing. Do read up before watching any movie.
Who is he? What was he in? Is he the guy from Lost?
Simply put, if you have any interest in TV or film, you're going to love finding out all about the actors, directors, films, and episodes, and getting involved in the community discussions about films after watching. Really fun time waster, and really valuable for finding other films by actors you really like!
I use this site all the time. Whenever i forget the name of an actor or actress, or cant remember the name of that 'one' movie i look up IMDB. It's come in handy in many social gatherings and heated debates between friends.
If your tastes extend to less mainstream movies IMDB is a rewarding visit. It seems to attract intelligent, informed reviews and has never disappointed me in my searches for a bit of insight into an actor, director, screenplay writer or just details on a particular movie title.
Imdb is very useful in many ways. It is a search engine for movie and tv shows ( current and older), you can see add's for movies that have not come out yet, you can make your own watch list of movies and tv shows that you wish to see and you can even rate the movies and tv shows out of 10. I would definitely recommend this website to others.
I live in Denmark and I prefer to get all the movie titles displayed in American, but unfortunately all the movie titles are displayed in Danish, which is pretty annoying. When I contact IMDB, they really don't care, they want me to register and log in to change the language.
I go here whenever I need to know more about an actor/actress, movie, etc. They definitely have all of the information and it is a very easy to navigate website which makes it even better. I can access it on my phone too for when I am not in front of my computer. I like the fast information!
dit is een prima site, maar ik adviseer je om gewoon lekker zelf een film te gaan bekijken ;-)
Nogle gange udsendes film med flere forskellige titler, selvom der er tale om samme film. Synes nogle gange amerikanernes bedømmelser af film utroværdige. Check fx, kult filmere Cannon Ball Run med Burt Reynolds.
This site is so user friendly.I love when i am watching a movie cant think of where i saw an actor before.I just IMDB it and get all the info.
This site was a bomb, but in last years it seems somehow that its reviews cannot be that much trusted.
If you need any information about any movie, it is probably on IMDB, regardless of the movie production or country of origin. Great site.
Before I rent a movie, I always check its rating on Imdb first, and see if the comments are positive.
I visit IMDB very often to read user reviews about various movies. Having an insight into opinions of others is truly valuable.
I often consult IMDB for any movie that is in theaters before I go to see it. Immensely helpful.
If you are a movie lover, this website is a must-visit. You will find all information and useful insights about movies in it.

If you are a movie fan, this site is a must. Here you will find relevant user ratings and everything you wanted to know about your favorite actors, movies and directors.
Ivan Leroy fand die Bewertung nützlich
I used to waste money on going to see films that turned out to be rubbish but now I use this website to ensure that every penny I pay is worth it. I love that there are incredibly detailed reviews on films down to how many times a certain swear word is used. It is easy to use and the content is always up to date and fresh.
Easy to search and find whatever information you need for any movies.
If you like movies and are looking for trustworthy movie reviews, this site is definitely the champion.
Karen Ashton fand die Bewertung nützlich
reviews, cast and crew information, trivia and quotes...ONLY movie/tv entertainment site worth visiting!
David McKeever fand die Bewertung nützlich
My favorite movies reviews website. Awesome in every regard!
Jason Allen fand die Bewertung nützlich
It happened so many times that watching a movie I'm puzzled - who is that actor, I know, I've seen him before. With iMDB it's easy to find this info and enjoy the rest of the movie.
Just about to download a movie?..then visit 'internet movie data base' first! (imdb) they tell you the low-down on every movie out and the members give it a mark out of 10!
The website is laid out well and east to use,i recommend visiting this site for yourself and see what you think? www.imdb.com
I used to come here all the time to check movie ratings, but it seems to me the ratings are not genuine as of lately
Karen Ashton fand die Bewertung nützlich
I always use IMDB if i wish you find out something about a movie. I really love this FREE service!
I love imdb the app is amazing!! It answers all my questions about anything tv or movie related.. And it's right at my finger tips... I'd be lost and very annoyed without it!!:)
Want know: Use Google translate Danish to English.
Denne sider er super grundig og der er tons vis af gode informationer om nye og gamle film. Der er også en masse karrierer informationer på skuespillerne.
Det heler er meget overskueligt og du kan sågar de en masse trailer på de fleste film der inde.
Jeg anbefaler klart IMdb! Mangler du informationer om film og skuespiller. Så er dette stedet for dig..
Number one movie database. I love its feature to see which group of users gave which rating to some movie.
Paul White fand die Bewertung nützlich

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
Not my fav, but it's ok. I think using it daily is not for me. Probably better to use with a certain palette look. Seems a little thick for blending.
This adds the perfect amount of brightness to my skin tone. The texture is nice and it blends in very well. Will definitely buy full-size when my sample is gone.
It's a little thicker and goopier than I expected; I thought it would be a sheer wash, but when applied, I had to work pretty hard to smooth it out so there weren't any noticeable streaks. It didn't make me break out, but it made the surface of my skin feel a little icky, and I had to wash thoroughly after use.
Thought it was a powder but it's a liquid. The brush is a small nail-polish type brush so it's awkward to apply HOWEVER, once on, it does provide a nice, subtle highlight.
I loved the sample for this and was sad when it ran out. It gave a slight glow when i applied it to my cheekbones that made them really pop; I loved wearing it for a night out or other special occasions!
I bought the rose shimmer, and while I love the color and it's just sheer enough to use all over, I think it's a little overpriced for what you get. I was expecting more product for my buck. However, it is a really great utility player in my cosmetics box.
I am not a makeup expert by any means, but this luminizer is the best I've ever used. I love it and highly recommend it for anyone in the market to try this product!
I am a novice when it comes to applying make-up so when i got this I wasn't sure how to use it, but it can go virtually anywhere! I started with a dab across my lids when i wanted something with a slight dewy shimmer and then I tried to do the whole contouring thing. I noticed such a difference in how my foundation and the shimmer made me glisten and gave me that bronze/golden like glow.
This shimmer goes on very easily and adds a great shimmer and color to your skin. It blends in well and looks natural.
Easy to use and apply - this brush on product doesn't overdo it when using. Instead of a powder, I have more control to where the shimmer goes.

It still might be another six to eight weeks at the earliest before the NCAA's Committee of Infractions announces the violations and penalties the University of Miami's football and men's basketball teams face, but that doesn't mean a tentative verdict hasn't already been reached.
In fact, it probably has, says University of Wyoming law professor Jerry Parkinson, who served in a volunteer capacity as Coordinator of Appeals for the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions from 2000-'10.
"Traditionally, what happens is when they have a hearing the committee all stays around until they've fully deliberated on each of the cases they heard. If they only had Miami [this past weekend], it's possible they did those deliberations on Saturday before everybody scattered," said Parkinson, who has followed the Miami closely through news reports.
"They'll take whatever time is necessary to go through all of the allegations to make findings that supported by the evidence and decide whatever penalties they're going to impose. At least the tentative decision will have been made already."
Parkinson said one member of the eight-person Committee on Infractions is then assigned to write the initial draft of the infractions report with the help of NCAA staff that is nearby in Indianapolis. That process can go through several drafts before it's presented again to the full committee during a conference call typically six to eight weeks later.
"The committee will get together and they will take a few hours because they go through the report thoroughly, essentially edit and make changes," Parkinson said. "If the committee members have changed their minds from where their initial decisions were made, they can throw that out, too. So, it's a work in progress, a working document that's in process right up to the point it's released to the press and made public."
Conference USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky headed the 16 1/2 hours worth of hearings this past weekend in Indianapolis, asking questions about allegations not only geared at UM, but former basketball coaches Frank Haith, Jake Morton and Jorge Fernandez and football assistants Aubrey Hill and Clint Hurtt.
"The committee operates by consensus so there are no dissenting opinions," Parkinson said. "There may be times when there are some disagreements during the deliberation process that the committee actually does take a vote. Whoever is in the majority is what holds fourth unless there are changes later on."
Was it a good sign for Miami that the deliberations took less than two full days compared to the USC case, which lasted three? Not necessarily, Parkinson said.
"Most hearings are scheduled for one full day and usually eight to 10 hours are enough to handle everything," he said. "The length of the hearing is really defined by the extent of the allegations and whether or not there is significant dispute about the allegations."
In UM's case, while the proceedings did get loud on occasion on the second day of hearings, word from those inside is that it ran smoothly and respectfully for the most part.
Ultimately, Parkinson said what helps Miami in its case is it self-imposed two postseason bans in football, and the primary witness for the NCAA, Nevin Shapiro, is a convicted felon, serving a 20-year prison sentence for running a $930 million Ponzi scheme.

Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Sells for $5 Million, Sets New World Record
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Auctions
A Patek Philippe Yellow Gold Calibre 89 pocket watch, the world's most complex timepiece as mentioned by my colleague Ariel Adams last month, just sold for a world record price of CHF 5,120,000, or $5.068 million at Antiquorum's 35th Anniversary Sale in Geneva. "The incredible result realized for the Calibre 89 in our 35th anniversary auction indicates that the market for the most complicated and important watches in the world remains exceptionally strong," notes Antiquorum Chairman Robert Maron. "We are extremely honored to have sold this exceptional and unique timepiece for the second time in Antiquorum's history and are thrilled that we have once again achieved a world record price at auction." With a staggering 33 complications, the watch weighs nearly 2.5 lbs. and has an 18k yellow gold case. It was made to honor the 150th anniversary of the famed Swiss watchmaker.

The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's office says a man is under arrest for intentionally exposing a woman to the AIDS virus. Spokeswoman Captain Dawn Foret says they received a complaint from the victim back in October who had recently found out that she had contracted the HIV virus.
"She did some research and learned that her on-again/off-again male partner for the past 6 years had indeed been diagnosed with the AIDS virus," Foret said.
Foret says the woman identified the suspect as 53 year old Enos Landry of Houma. She says they found Landry and interviewed him on Wednesday.
"He admitted that he's known for several years that he has been HIV positive and that he did engage in a consensual unprotected sexual relationship with the female and did not disclose to her that he has the AIDS virus," says Foret.

I have been a photographer for over 30 years now. I think I will always love taking photos. I see life as art I love to see photos the same way. There are lines I see when I am taking a photo I believe they are connecting lines for us to see a way passed our fears. You just have to ask for yourself to pass over and the unverse will do the rest. Namaste

Last week, Google release Chrome, their new web browser. My initial note about it's release can be found here. Google came to play with this release and after using it for a week or so I wanted to weigh in with a little more information. Here is a little bit more of a review.

Following up to my previous entry this is what the new F1 steering wheel looks like. Pretty neat and very interesting from a UI standpoint. Wish they made these for normal cars!
Also, check out some more photos from the Signapore Grand Prix, also from the big picture.
Update: Here are a couple more links: Some history of the steering wheel from F1Technical and another article about F1 User interfaces.
Brought to you from the ministry of the obvious, Wired does a piece telling you what you already know. Sci-Fi has a healthy dose of the "Fi". I watched the movie for the first time last night and was really impressed. It seemed remarkably well done. If you haven't seen it, skip the Wired article till you do, but its worth your couple of hours.
On a side note, the software and tech (not related to the suit directly except for that awesome HUD) featured a very prominent role in the film as well. Some scenes heavy on the "minority report" type effects, but all well done. If anyone knows of any discussions about the software around the internets please let me know.
This has got to be one of the best ideas I have come across in a while. From the New York Times:
But first he had to get there alive. He parked his car a couple of blocks away and started the treacherous walk, his only friend of late tucked under his black shirt, a curiously damp bulge.
His yellow-and-orange Uzi-style squirt gun.
Mr. Deane, a freelance audiovisual technician, was becoming a player to be reckoned with in this year's StreetWars tournament. With only a few days left, he stood a fighting chance at being the last person standing, the $500 prize in one hand and his dripping gun in the other. But with the pool dwindling, his own would-be killer could not be far.

PDF Warning. Article from 2006 by Maureen Stone. If you are ever designing data visualization (charts, graphs, infographics, etc) the colors you choose for your data sets are very important. It is amazing how wrong some software such as excel gets this right out of the box.

Her new book of the same name is a step-by-step guide to looking cool, chic, stylish, and above all nonchalant, as only Parisian's can - and it seems she's passed the "Parisian style DNA" on to her daughter, Nine.SEE NINE DE LA FRESSANGE HERENine is seventeen and is being courted by every brand and magazine you might mention, but having turned down all offers to focus on her studies (including the cover of French Elle), she relented and agreed to appear in the campaign for Bottega Veneta's debut fragrance."She turned down everyone," Ines de la Fressange told us. "Even someone from Vuitton stopped her in the street, but she wants to study. She said, 'Mum, I chose a course in Ancient Greek - is that ok?' I said, 'Well, yes, that's ok...'! She's done Bottega but who knows what will happen. No one can choose to be a model. You can't choose, you must be chosen. And no one can be a model all your life...except me!"SEE WHAT INES TOLD US ABOUT LAGERFELD Nine did consent to modelling for her mother's new book, Parisian Chic, however and - alongside her mother's illustrations - helps to document how to dress comme un Parisienne."You don't need to be born in Paris to have Parisian style," the book says. "I'm the perfect example, born down south in Saint-Tropez! Parisian style is an attitude, a state of mind. Between rocker and ho-hum bourgeois, a Parisian is always first, never second. A Parisian steps lightly around the fashion traps of the day. Her secret? She breathes the air du temps and puts it to good use, her way, and always with the same aim: fashion should be fun. The Parisian follows a few golden rules, but she likes to transgress, too. It's part of the style.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Carthage standout Nick Piroli, a freshman at Brown University, received Ivy League co-rookie of the week honors for the second time this season after this past weekend.
Piroli, who plays attack, supplied a career-high four goals in Brown's 14-5 victory over Vermont. He is now Brown's leading goal scorer with 12 and is second on the team in points with 16.
Piroli has taken 23 shots and has a shooting percentage of .522 for the Bears (3-4).

Bailey Slutsky and Luna with friend |
While West Highland terrier fans and owners had originally feared that the overnight drop in temperature would leave it too cold to truly enjoy the event, the weather cooperated.
Organizer Don Edelmann said, "This is by far the best turnout we've ever had. It was a swell day."
Lizzie Johnson and Luna Hyde, escorted by Kim Johnson and Joanie Hyde, kept it simple: "Woof."
The girls were dressed in matching red and black frocks, and were the belles of the ball, greeting each new arrival at the park in a flurry of sniffs and licks.
It only took a few minutes to realize that accessories were the way to go when trying to figure out who was who in the thronging herd of white dogs. Murphy "Squirrelinator" Rhea wore a personalized bandana with pride. Toots Edelmann, escorted by Bonna and Don, had a lovely turquoise collar to set off her gleaming coat.
Daisy, a lovely young mainlander with a pink and aqua bandana, made the most of the event, soliciting a pet here and there from new friends and playing fetch with a tennis ball.
"It's so nice that they have something like this, where the dogs can get to know each other," said her companions, Jerry and Linda Rogers.
Kathy Irwin was one of the more popular humans. She brought a bag of Pupperoni that Deedee of the pink collar was happy to share with her fellow canines.
Bailey Slutsky took honors as the youngest dog at the party at a mere 5 months old, and Orvis Richards was the elder statesman of the group at 17.
A good time was had by all, and the next event is already being greatly anticipated.

"Upgrade only if you need to, otherwise wait for Win9"
2.5 starson by decadrePros: Really awesome system tools and background OS features. Quick boot, unbelievably improved task manager, most productivity apps run noticeably quicker.
Cons: Metro.
Win8 is supposed to be intuitive, but it isn't.
Users will learn it and adapt.
What else is there to say when some of the best advice given to people is to down Start8, or Classic Shell which returns UI elements removed from Win7?Summary: Unless you've tried to RTM and like it, I'd suggest that most people stay with Win7 until they have to upgrade. If you haven't tried Win8 yet, head on out to a electronics store and give a display model a trial run before purchasing a new PC Win8.
Additionally, I may be wrong on this but I think you will still be able to get a new PC with Win7 until sometime in the summer of 2013. So you have sometime to research this still.
- 4 replies to this review
I keep seeing reviews talking about the UI, no start button, and whatnot, but it's obvious you guys are not even taking the time to learn the start button is there. The shortcut keys fill all of the needs and beyond. The charms bar is there for start, shutdown, and other utilities.
I wish people would take the time to learn the OS, for that matter, learn how software works period. -
Great Review. I just bought a PC with Win8(Grrrr)
Tradeoff for "Intuitive" is handing over total control to MS. True, users will adapt, but only after much frustration.
There's so much marketing data collection going on in the background that any performance improvement is lost.
It's so bad I want to wipe the drive and load Win7 - problem is you can't buy it from MS anymore. Guess I'll need to go underground. -
I like Win 8 better than all of the rest. You just need to get used to the user interface. I did that in a day.
By all means, UPGRADE. -
Windows 9 will be very similar to Windows 8. They will just add new features, possibly bring back the Start Menu because so many people are having problems learning to use the Start Screen like W8 intends. Microsoft is putting everything they've got into this new OS so not much is going to change for a bit.

Sure, Edward Snowden's non-flight to Cuba, whereabouts in Russia, and request for asylum in Ecuador are getting most of the attention this week. But amid all the hubbub, Monday's news also brought us this small but intriguing detail from a New York Times story on how Snowden planned his exit from Hong Kong over a "cloak-and-dagger" pizza dinner.
"Mr. Snowden," the paper noted, "wore a cap and sunglasses and insisted that the assembled lawyers hide their cellphones in the refrigerator of the home where he was staying, to block any eavesdropping."
The ol' cell phones-in-the-refrigerator trick is just one of many tradecraft-esque moves we know Snowden has attempted since going on the lam. He's lined the door of his hotel room with pillows, for example, and worn a hood while entering computer passwords. But how useful is putting cell phones in the fridge, really? Is wearing a hood while using your laptop stopping anyone from watching what you're doing? In other words: Does Edward Snowden know what he's doing when it comes to covert ops?
We reached out to FP contributor David Gomez, a former assistant special agent-in-charge and counterterrorism program manager with the FBI, to get his take. When was Snowden being savvy - and when did it seem as if he'd just watched a few too many spy movies?
Cell phones in the fridge
While it's true that cell phones can easily be compromised and turned into recording devices, Gomez says it's unlikely that anyone seeking to record Snowden would have used a phone anyway. If someone had wanted to eavesdrop, Gomez explains, he or she more likely would have worn a concealed wire. Or, if a government's agents had been trying to listen in from outside of the room, they might have deployed a long-range microphone, among other techniques. The bottom line: a refrigerated cell phone probably wasn't stopping anyone who wanted to listen badly enough - though it may have extended the phone's battery life.
Lining the hotel door with pillows
While not particularly effective at stopping anyone actively seeking to spy on Snowden, pillows could have muffled the sounds of any conversations going on in his Hong Kong hotel room enough that an unsuspecting person passing by wouldn't overhear something alarming, Gomez says.
Wearing a hood while entering computer passwords, to avoid hidden cameras
The danger while entering computer passwords is unlikely to come from a hidden camera planted in the hotel, Gomez says, but rather from keystroke-logging software, against which a hoodie provides little protection.
Signaling his identity to reporters by carrying a Rubik's Cube through a hotel
While spies do at times use signals to identify one another, the idea in doing so is to not draw attention to yourself, Gomez explains. Thus, when arranging a meeting, as Snowden did with a group of journalists in Hong Kong, it is both unhelpful and unnecessary to carry something as out of place as a Rubik's Cube. It would have been better, Gomez adds, for Snowden to have simply described, say, his clothing in detail. "If you're going to meet with all these people, what's the point of being Sneaky Pete?" Gomez asks.
In general, Gomez notes, Snowden's stabs at tradecraft seem like the work of an amateur - "the I'll be here, wearing a grey fedora, smoking this brand of cigarette kind of thing."
"I've never gotten the sense that he really understood what covert tradecraft is about," he observed.
Then again, Snowden spent enough time working in the intelligence community to know a thing or two about the long arm of U.S. law - plus he's a very wanted man. It's enough to inspire considerable paranoia - the kind that might make even the most grounded person chuck a cell phone in the fridge.

The Final Days of Traditional Beliefs? - Part Three
by Matthew Bauer
In this series of articles, I have been explaining why I believe the traditional theories behind Chinese Medicine are today being seriously undermined. My last article (Volume 1 Issue 5 - October 2006) focused on the doubts many modern scholars have regarding a lost golden age in the Chinese prehistoric past when sages of extraordinary insights were believed to have spawned the foundations of Chinese culture including the foundations of Chinese medicine.

Downsizing Blog
What to Cut Next
For supporters of limited government, there is some good news coming from Washington. On entitlement spending, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's new spending plan would reform Medicare and Medicaid, repeal Obamacare, and balance the budget over 10 years.
Senator Patty Murray Is Right…and Completely Wrong…about the 1990s
I wrote about the Ryan budget two days ago, praising it for complying with Mitchell's Golden Rule and reforming Medicare and Medicaid. But I believe in being honest and nonpartisan, so I also groused that it wasn't as good as the 2011 and 2012 versions. Now it's time to give the same neutral and dispassionate treatment to the budget proposed by Patty Murray, the Washington Democrat who chairs the Senate Budget Committee.
Ryan Budget Proposal Is Not a Blueprint for Limited Government
The now annual release of House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan's (R-WI) budget proposal has replaced the release of the president's budget proposal as my least favorite policy event of the year. The president promises big government and Ryan promises smaller big government. What makes the Ryan proposal more aggravating is that it's hardly a vision of limited government, but the left (and many on the right) treats it like it is.
Everything You Need to Know About the Ryan Budget
Sigh. Even when they're sort of doing the right thing, Republicans are incapable of using the right argument.
Treating the Symptoms
As the sequester took effect last Friday (and the world as we know it began to end), President Obama and his spokesmen took to the airwaves to insist that they had a fairer and more balanced alternative.
Round One Goes to the Budget Hawks
"The budget hawks have defeated the defense hawks." So read one analyst's verdict last Friday on the news that, despite months of dire warnings from the Obama administration and the Pentagon's allies on Capitol Hill, automatic budget cuts to the U.S. Defense Department would go into effect after all. Bill Kristol, the influential editor of the Weekly Standard, was despondent, writing, "the Republican party has, at first reluctantly, then enthusiastically, joined the president on the road to irresponsibility." But have fiscal scolds really vanquished their neoconservative rivals within the GOP?
Big Candy's Greed
That's the title of a quarter-page advertisement in the Washington Post on Wednesday.
Sequestration and Voter Ignorance
Sheldon Richman and I spent a lot of time last week running through numbers from theCongressional Budget Office in order to gauge sequestration's effect on federal spending. In the resulting column, Richman lays out the numbers and asks a pertinent question: How the $#!?% is the average voter supposed to have a clue about this stuff?
Herbert Hoover Was No Penny Pincher
In a story regarding federal budget cuts, the Washington Post reports:
'One of the last presidents to balance the budget was Herbert Hoover,' [Rep. Peter] King added darkly, referring to the penny-pinching Republican blamed for deepening the Great Depression.
What a loaded and inaccurate statement!
Brookings Glosses Over Amtrak's Failings
Intercity passenger trains are experiencing a "renaissance" with Amtrak ridership growing "faster than other major travel modes," says a new report from the Brookings Institution. Indeed, the report continues, Amtrak's short-distance trains (generally, routes of around 200 to 600 miles) have, on average, a "positive operating balance," so more such short-distance routes should be added.

It just shows that some people do not know how to drive. Sounds like they hit the accelerator pretty darn hard from a parked position.

Had the patrons been armed with automatic and semi-automatic weapons as our 2nd Amendment citizen rights to bear military assault weapons in Italian restaurants have been guaranteed by our founding fathers in the constitution, the tragedy may have been averted.

PC major HP announced its decision to scrap TouchPad, the company's flagship tablet device. But in a move that could rattle the OEM industry, there are feelers that HP might spin off its PC business. This is similar to what IBM did with its PC division, resulting in the subsequent creation of Lenovo. This move could take effect as early as by the end of this year. This is one of the most extreme makeovers in the company's 72-year history. It is sought to increase the company's long-term competitiveness against rival IBM. It is not known if the decision to spin off the PC division will affect any of the 300,000 jobs HP maintains worldwide. HP's PC division (that sells desktop PCs, notebooks, and netbooks and related support services), is its biggest revenue generator, but also it's least profitable division. Whatever the reasoning behind this, the decision is a 180 degree turn from last decade, when HP spent no less than US $24 billion to acquire Compaq Computer, on its road to become the biggest PC vendor. Source: MSNBC
Well they built cheap again after they worked to improve that. I've been dealing with a friend's HP for months. Keeps overheating. Keys on the keyboard pop out randomly. Then when going to clean it out, they used flimsy heatpads for the GPU/NB and a single heatpipe. Just terribly shotty construction once you got into it. Wouldn't label them all that if I hadn't heard the same from other HP owners. Something always seems to break on them.
IBM, anyone? There server business is still going strong, as is their printer business. I see this as a corporate refocusing of efforts. I always hated HP machines anyway. A damn nightmare to work on, unlike Dells.
Huh? Elaborate? I agree with everything what Red Machine says, but I cannot see how its funny or sarcastic.
The only recent HP pc i have worked on had an oem asus matx board (775, with a core 2 6300), a regular ATX psu, and an easy to replace CPU cooler, and was therefore a lot easier to work on than Dells of the same generation.
Yes, but to remove the hard drive of an HP machine, you've got to remove the front panel, unscrew the card reader, unscrew the hard drive and then slide it out the front. Dells you just unscrew the hard drive and take out out from the main bay. No faffing around.
If HP shuts down it's computer business, it also kills AMD in the same move. HP is by far the largest consumer of AMD chips, so this will shake things up pretty bad. We're looking at monopoly for the blue team, and who the heck will benefit from this except the greedy economy department @ Intel?
They are not going to shut down their computer making business, just selling it off I dont blame them for providing more Intel based systems, only at the absolute cheapest rung AMD consistently outperform against Intel in price/perf. The rest is very price dependent, with AMD losing their advantage the higher it goes.
Huh ? The most recent HP machine I've been tinkering with (one of the business desktop models, the "DC7900 CMT") had two HDD bay mounted sideways at the bottom of the enclosure. In order to remove a drive you'd have to remove the side panel of the enclosure, release the plastic latch, unplug the data and power cables and slide the drive out. It couldn't have been any easier, this is how most modern enclosures place HDDs. Now HP's model names leave something to be desired
Somehow I doubt they actually do spinoff their PC business very far. They remain a giant in consumer PC's. I feel like the TouchPad's problem (and webOS in general) was a lack of patience in cultivating a community of support and listening to input from consumers. Sometimes you gotta stick it through at the beginning to build a consistent base! Also, how many complaints did they get about the tiny buttons on the PalmPre (1 &2)? Thousands at least. Guess what kind of keys are on the Veer4G? The EXACT SAME KIND!
LOL, of course their cases differ bigtime! There are sub-500 home computers and then stepping up into the pro market. Each generation of cases differ, and for sure are made (thought) by different divisions. Just like printers, they make the best and... crap. Anyway, if they stop or not making pc's, that does not change the DEMAND, thus, as a principle, AMD should not lose sales, but only a big customer. Other customers will crow proportionally.
I cant really see this happening, it made sense for IBM to do it because IBM still had the business side locked down along with all the R&D and custom jobs they do for companies. HP on the other hand is mostly know for pc's ....so what are they thinking here?
Why didn't you include the option to choose: "Apple killed off the HP Touchpad because they are dominating the tablet market." EDIT: Not only did the iPad and iPad wannabes kill it off, but there are so many tablets out there is no room for development anymore.
the only way this makes sense is if they have a buyer lined up who's willing to pay more than the pc branch is making them. if that's the case then why not, in networking, servers, and printers/scanners HP is still doing quite well.
Think about it, though. With HP gone, or at least spun-off (which produces uncertainty for some time), the other makers (Dell, Acer etc.) have a ton of market share to gain, IF they move wisely.
Correct. And thats what makes me think that HP wont do it. having been established for so long, they have a HUGE market share. and it has to be making them pretty good money otherwise they would have scaled back their operations years and years ago. but they have just carried on growing and growing over the years. ------- When i walk to a shop called PCWorld here in the UK. the first thing that i notice is that HP machines make up about 80-90% of the machines on display (excluding laptops and pads) the rest are Acer or Dell's and the occasional Alienware. no matter what branch i walk into thats always the case. they could spinoff, but only if someone paid them a serious amount of money

Grandparents Raising Exceptional Children
Date: March 30, 2006
Creator: Phillips, Landeia & Rademacher, Joyce A.
Description: This paper discusses research into grandparents raising children with disabilities. Abstract: This study provides factual evidence and testimonials on personal, family, and school issues that grandparents experience as primary caregivers for grandchildren. The research study focused on six components: (1) school efforts to collaborate with grandparents, (2) quality of services, (3) comprehension of grandchild's disability, (4) impact of special education services on family life, (5) availability of support agencies and caregiver training programs, and (6) physical/mental health tendencies of grandparents. Knowledge of the problems grandparents experience is important because special education advocates may gain useful knowledge to expand the success of the partnership with grandparents raising children with disabilities. The ultimate goal of the project is to explore means to contribute knowledge and to increase visibility of the need for research on how educators and other professionals can better assist grandparents with their unique needs in parenting and educating children with disabilities.

Negotiating In The 21st Century: Bridging The Gap Between Technology And Hostage Negotiation
Date: April 19, 2012
Creator: Nichols, James & Richardson, Brian K.
Description: This paper discusses research on negotiating in the 21st century. Abstract: Hostage negotiation at its core is a communicative event developed to save lives through interpersonal tactics. The current protocol in hostage negotiation relies primarily on verbal communication through landlines. This protocol severely handicaps negotiators as it only open up a single channel of communication. The purpose of this study proposal is to promote the inclusion of new technology, specifically cellphones with text, call, and video chat capabilities, into hostage negotiation situations. The injection of new technology, and thus new communicative mediums, allows the negotiator to adapt to the hostage taker's fluctuating level of communication apprehension, communication competency, and levels of trust between them. The impact of new technology on hostage negotiation will be measured using controlled simulations accompanied by a completion questionnaire.

Problem-Solving Abilities and Feelings of Control: A Work in Progress
Date: April 2, 2009
Creator: Kaiser, Emily M. & Wang, Zuoming
Description: This poster discusses research on problem-solving abilities and feelings of control. The current study is interested in the feelings of personal control during conflict situations with a romantic partner. Previous studies have shown that the level of self-confidence in one's own problem-solving abilities affects the level of relationship satisfaction. This study seeks to determine a relationship between the level of self-confidence and the perception of personal control over conflicts. Also of interest is whether the attachment style of the individual can predict the level of personal control felt in conflicts. Two hundred undergraduate students in romantic relationships, or who have been in a long-term romantic relationship recently, will be surveyed. The author predicts that having a secure attachment style and confidence in one's problem-solving abilities will be related to a high sense of personal control during conflict.

Because the loans are short term, the annualized interest rates are very high.
Statistics show that more than half of those who receive the loans are low-income recipients of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a major federal anti-poverty program.
A refund anticipation loan is a risky proposition because it must be repaid even if the taxpayer's refund is denied, less than expected, or frozen. If the taxpayer cannot pay back the RAL, the lender may send the account to a debt collector.
The following are better alternatives to RALs:
- Open a bank account (if you haven't already) and take advantage of direct deposit for both your tax refund and your pay check. Many banks reduce or eliminate checking account fees when you have your pay check deposited directly to your checking account.
- File your tax return electronically (E-file) with the refund deposited directly into your bank account. You should receive your refund in three to four business days. Last year, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue issued 2.3 million refunds worth an average amount of $480.
- When you do receive your refund, avoid check cashers. They charge fees to cash RAL and tax refund checks. Cash your check at a bank instead.
- Reduce your income tax withholding so that you won't have to wait for a refund next year.
For free tax preparation, low- to moderate-income tax payers can take part in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which is coordinated by the IRS. VITA sites can be found in libraries, community centers, local governmental offices, non-profit organizations, and other locations during tax season. Most locations offer free electronic filing to expedite the receipt of tax refunds. To locate the nearest VITA site, call 800-829-1040.
For more information on the VITA program, go to the IRS website at
www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html. If you earned $54,000 or less in 2007, you can use the IRS Free File program to prepare your taxes online at
The AARP Tax-Aide program provides free tax preparation and assistance services to millions of low- and middle-income taxpayers, with special attention to those ages 60 and older. Electronic filing and online counseling are also offered by the program. See
