User Experiences I come across every day. Good, bad, and ugly.
If you're anything like me and own more than one computer that you check your email on, you might have the same inbox open on two machines. If and when you do, Gmail pops this alert up in your footer. This might just be a nice-to-have to most, but it's especially important for security reasons.
Say you go to the library and forget to sign out of Gmail. You come home and see this alert. You can click on "Details" and sign out from all other sessions.
Doing your homework is important. Even more so if you're setting out to design a mobile application. As much as I encourage innovation, I am also a big fan of gradual transition i.e., following some universal standards before making your own.
Designing a mobile application on the iPhone and making sure it works the same way on an Android isn't as important as designing an app for the iPhone and making sure it fits with all the other apps on the iPhone. Chances are, your end-user isn't going to be someone who uses an iPhone AND an Android. Yes, there are people out there like that, but the majority of the users stick to one OS. Design for the majority.
Let's look at the photo attached. The first photo on the hard left is of the native iPhone text messaging interface. The text circled in red is mine. i.e., I sent that text. I've been using my iPhone for a little over a year. When I look at text bound in a green speech bubble, I have been taught to recognize it as something I sent. What's App and Kik Messenger, as you can see, have followed suit. They realize that iPhone users have been trained to recognize the two colors - green and white as messages sent and received respectively. They did their homework and it paid off. I don't even feel the difference when I use their interface because it's so similar to the native interface. They make me not think. I love it.
Now look at Ping Chat and Words With Friends. They haven't just picked different colors. The designers behind these messaging interfaces have taken the same hues (green and white) and reversed them. #doublefacepalm. So they've completely flipped the switch on this to confuse me more than I need to be. Why they would've done that, I don't know. All I know is that I don't appreciate it.
Ever heard of the KISS principle? Keep It Simple, Stupid!
"Make the world easier to use" is a pretty powerful statement, but if anybody can make it, it's foursquare.
Formerly Dodgeball, which was acquired by Google in 2005 and later rendered a dead project, co-founder Dennis Crowley started this little baby from scratch. And it's come a long looooong way. From just being a check-in service that didn't care how far you were to check you in, Foursquare has partnered up with major brands like Louis Vuitton to deliver deals to the customer to their cell phone and big names like the Museum of National History to spread nuggets of historical information around the user's GPS location.
I too, formerly thought it to be a somewhat stalkerish app. But I've long since dropped that idea. It's about sharing experiences and unless you choose to do so, the app actually doesn't publish your information to the public.
The new website looks very chic! The home page (so for new users) looks a lot more inviting than it did before, though I do miss the constant update of people becoming mayors of places (might be a privacy related concern) that used to grace the home page.
The internal workings i.e., profile page is pretty similar to before. The top navigation bar is slightly thinner and sleeker looking and there are less lines staring at you and a lot more white space. Which seems like the way to go nowadays. Google Docs, 4sq, we'll have to see who's next.
One thing I'm not a fan of is the rounded-corners profile picture of the user on the top right corner. Kinda out of place and really not flattering.
What I love is the front page and the graphics on it. Oh, the graphics! They rotate and they twirl and they shine and they mesmerize. I especially love the carefully chosen words and how the five panes tell a story of what you can achieve if you harness the power of Foursquare.
Dennis says he eventually sees Foursquare being able to tell him the must-see places to go to and visit if he ever travels somewhere new based on where his friends have checked in and what kind of places he frequents. I think that's a wonderful future to look forward to.
Hi Huda, welcome to Paris! Might we suggest you visit "The Louvre"
OK, that was a little obvious, but you get what I mean - it has the potential to be Siri, only smarter and a lot less talkative
Sam Brown is a user-interface designer at Foursquare. Read his blog post about the redesign here.
American Express. Their cards look slick and they seem to have all sorts of point collection schemes. I recently got one. Their customer service is beyond terrible. BUT one part of their website is actually very awesome. It's where they ask you to register your card. See how nicely everything's laid out? So simple my grandmother could figure out.
Bless the UX Designer behind this.
For all of you who've upgraded your iPhone to the shiny new iOS 5, you've seen this in action already. For those of you with Android phones are no strangers to this new, very important feature on Apple's most popular product.
In the past, new notifications always came in the form of a pop-up on the iPhone screen. So say you got a Twitter message, a text message and a Facebook message, there was no way to view them all in a list of any sort. You'd have to hit "Close" on each pop-up to get to the next in line. Inefficient. Yep. But Apple has learned. Now, all your notifications are gathered in a neat little bar on the top of your screen. Swiping down shows you all your notifications neatly grouped together complete with the DOW index and your local weather.
It works exactly like the Android, in fact the subtle little things like the "collapse handle" at the bottom of the notifications screen looks the same too.
As always though, Apple's managed to make a feature that's been around for so long look so much nicer (and hence more useful in my opinion) than its competing Operating System.

August 12, 2004
On the last business day of June 2004, there were 3.0 million job openings in the United States.
The job openings rate (the number of job openings on the last business day of the month divided by employment plus job openings) for private industry and government combined was 2.3 percent. The job openings rate has remained in the range of 2.0 percent to 2.4 percent since October 2001.
In June, the job openings rate showed little or no change for all major industry categories. The rate was highest in leisure and hospitality (3.2 percent) and lowest in construction (1.2 percent).
These data come from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Data for June 2004 are preliminary and subject to revision. To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: June 2004" (PDF) (TXT), USDL 04-1519. "Job openings" are defined as situations where: 1) a specific position exists and there is work available for that position, 2) work could start within 30 days regardless of whether a suitable candidate is found, and 3) the employer is actively recruiting from outside the establishment to fill the position.

In the opening pages of "Mr. Fox,'' the latest novel by Nigerian-born author Helen Oyeyemi, a novelist's creation turns on him with reproach: "What you're doing is building a horrible kind of logic,'' she says. "People read what you write and they say, 'Yes, he is talking about things that really happen,' and they keep reading, and it makes sense to them. You're explaining things that can't be defended, and the explanations themselves are mad, just bizarre - but you offer them, with such confidence.'' This sounds like a fair description of the steel-trap logic of speculative fiction in general, and of fairy tales in particular, yet it is easy to see how for the narrative subject herself, such logic can be a prison cell - even, as for Bluebeard's wives, a death sentence.
"Mr. Fox,'' like Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber'' before it, draws inspiration from what Carter called the "latent content'' of the Bluebeard tale about the wealthy aristocrat who entraps and kills off a series of wives. The character is woven through the novel in such guises as Grimm's Fitcher, the werefox Reynardine, and the British Mister Fox. Though Oyeyemi doesn't have Carter's fierceness, nor what might be called her intellectualism, the two share an interest in using fairy tales to explore how things might be different, for women in particular. For one, Bluebeard allows Oyeyemi to pose questions of fidelity: Must being true to one love mean "killing'' previous ones? What lasting responsibility does a writer have to his characters (and vice versa)?

If you haven't been paying attention to the best Redskins legal drama since Albert Haynesworth felt up an unsuspecting waitress, it's okay, we'll get you up to speed. What this case boils down to is whether or not Redskins unrestricted free-agent tight end Fred Davis actually threw a pitcher at a young woman inside of a club after he had poured liquid all over her. You read that correctly. Here's how the inicdent occured according to NBC Sport's Pro Football Talk:
The woman who is suing Fred Davis says that the incident between them began because Davis was jealous that she was hanging out with Ravens players, not Redskins players.
Plaintiff Makini R. Chaka testified that Davis, a free agent tight end who has played his entire career for the Redskins, approached her at a nightclub where she was with a group of Ravens players. Chaka says that Davis, whom she described as an acquaintance before the incident in question, didn't like the fact that she was with players on the Ravens.
"The Redskins and the Ravens players don't get along," Chaka testified, via the Washingtonian. "A lot of the Redskins players are jealous of the Ravens players because they are a better team."
According to Chaka, she was with a group of Ravens players when Davis approached her, grabbed her wrist and yelled profanities at her. Chaka responded by throwing a drink in Davis's face, and Davis returned minutes later and dumped a pitcher of juice on her.
The lawsuit centers on whether Davis just threw liquid on Chaka or whether he also threw the pitcher itself and injured her lip, as she claims. A video of the incident is being circulated on Twitter by the Sulton Law Office, which according to The Big Lead is Chaka's lawyer. The video, however, doesn't add a whole lot of clarity beyond what was said in court.
Chaka is seeking more than $350,000 in punitive damages from Davis.
Now, Dan Steinberg at the DC Sports Bog has video!

What is the definition of having a "Right to drive" or other "Rights" as to opposed to having a "Privilege to drive" or other "Privileges"
This question came to me from a comment I made on the TED Talk "Google's Driverless Car". I argued that driving was not a right but a pivilege, but I noticed there were a few arguments against that thought. So it caused me to think a bit deeper on the differences between having a Right or having a Privilege. I found it impossible to truly define it in my mind. As the more I thought about it, I soon discovered my problem was, are there different definitions to this question depending what part of the world you come from or live in? As I have seen TED has an international base of people that enjoy these "Talks" and I thought I would pose this question to you all. So let the debate begin!! I look forward to your thoughts and comments on this. Thank You...
Closing Statement from Robert Sherry
First, Thank You all for your replies, you have all given some Great input!!
As for "Rights" I think John Frum gave the best reply (in my opinion) concerning rights. He seemed to understand the Spirit of my question, which wasn't just about "U.S. Driving Rights", but "Rights" in general and he also included the whole world. His answer is as follows.See Below
"Legal rights are one aspect of rights, but not the only one. Legal rights depend on which country one is a citizen of."
"Legality is based on morality.. in every country. What are moral rights based on? That's very debatable. I have my own ideas on what's moral, but I do not assume that everyone would share my views on that."
"If I were in Malaysia, Indonesia or some Arab country, I'd have no "right" to insult Allah or Mohammed. Left libertarians do not subscribe to the concept of property rights. Some countries, and the UN seem to believe in the "right" to water: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_water"
"The statement "this isn't an opinion, it's a legal fact" is empty without the context of time and place. For most of their history, blacks and women in the US did not have a "right" to vote. For quite a while, only landowners had that right."
"Legal rights are fickle. Moral rights are subjective"
Thank You to Pat Gilbert,This is his reply concernig "Privaliges" Below you will find exerpts from his various replies..
"Rights are generally intangible, privileges are tangible
"Rights are generally seen as natural law or providence. Of the two they are infinitely more important."
"A privilege would be as you state the privilege of driving, the privilege of unemployment benefits, the privilege of healthcare."
"At the end of the day privileges are what get abused by individuals, rights are what get abused by government."
Once again, I would like to Thank You all for some very enlightening responses!!
I have learned much from you all, and you have also given me much to consider!!! R.S.... ((:^)<(

Jan 17 2013: Greg, Thanks for the reply, I see you did take my question a bit further to include the Social aspect (which I was hoping this would leed to) But I think most of the replies so far seem to be concentrating on a small population of the US. Here is my reply to Edward Long in his response to my question. (Thank You Edward for the reply, Lets take this a step further. ( I just used diving in the US since thats what started this). How about other Rights of other people living in the U.S or those living outside the U.S, and lets add a few more ingredeints to the mixture,Male vs Female, Gay vs Straight, Elderly vs Young . Do you think that all rights can be taken away, that none are permanent? In other words, do you feel that there any "Rights" that we are all born with that cannot be taken away?) Thanks Greg, and I look forward to your further thoughts on this...
Jan 20 2013: No, I probably don't think there are any rights that can't be taken away. Every right comes with the condition, either spoken or unspoken, that you use it fairly and properly. You have a right to life, but if you kill someone, then you lose your right to life. (This doesn't mean I believe in the death penalty, as it seems that occasionally innocent people are executed.)
Jan 17 2013: Greg, you don't need permission to use a right. Do you need permission to speak or write, to practice your religion, etc...
Since we don't have total freedom, we are suppose to haveLiberty. Liberty is that you can do whatever, as long as you don't infringe on the rights of others. Other words, your rights can't stop someone else from using their rights and vise versa.
Jan 18 2013: Well, using some of your rights could be extremely dangerous. Yes, you have a right to drive, but if you let a seven-year-old kid drive it could be extremely dangerous. Thus you have a right to drive but you have to get the proper training first.
Even with speaking or writing, you have the right as long as you don't say something too out of line. You can't say you're going to kill someone or you will get in trouble. So you don't have a perfect right.

text: 'Girls Around Me' App: Be Careful Where You Check In On Facebook, It Could Haunt You The app, Girls Around Me, is a very scary app that you should be aware of. I see many of my friends check in constantly where they go. Innocently, it appears nothing can happen by doing so. Well guess again. Take a look at this app. You can pretty much guess what happens when you look at the image. Does it worry you yet? Basically, let's pretend I'm a woman who has just checked in to Starbucks On Facebook in your local neighborhood. With this app open, it gathers this 'check in' via your facebook information and showcases it for the world to see on a map. What's worse, is it has your name and facebook profile attached to it. With most people's privacy settings a little too open, people can then go click on it, see your pictures, your information, your family, where you work, went to school, and so forth. "So now I know everything to know about Zoe. I know where she is. I know what she looks like, both clothed and mostly disrobed. I know her full name, her parents' full names, her brother's full name. I know what she likes to drink. I know where she went to school. I know what she likes and dislikes. All I need to do now is go down to the Independent, ask her if she remembers me from Stoneham High, ask her how her brother Mike is doing, buy her a frosty margarita, and start waxing eloquently about that beautiful summer I spent in Roma." This situation is really the tip of the iceberg, you can imagine that it could probably get worse. So the next time someone comes up to you with a, "Hey, ____ long time no see!" and you have no idea who they are, it may be someone you really don't know. Furthermore, the other danger of checking in is that it tells people that you're not home. Don't think for a second robbers are also not spying on people with information that is easy to obtain. Especially now where people are friending each other without a second thought, do you really know who is behind your new friend? Faux accounts are pretty common. So on both accounts, it's a very scary threat. Keep your facebook private. The next time you want to check in somewhere, remember that it's not as innocent as it seems. Even if your account is well managed, this should be a tremendous wake up call about the privacy holes in Facebook. I suggest you spread the word about this app. Even if this gets taken down, there will be many others that pop up with the amount of stalkers and creeps roaming around. Either way, it serves as a good message to take more responsibility over what you post. [Via source] 2 years ago 3 Notes #girls around me #app #tech #news #etc #apple #app store

Nobody likes a funky smelling diaper! Clean diapers shouldnt smell like anything; dirty diapers may smell like urine, poop, ammonia, and any number of other smells depending on what your child may have eaten that day. Remember that disposable diapers mask any odors so if you are new to cloth diapering, what you are smelling might simply be pee and poop. In order to solve the stinky problem, it's important to find out the source/cause.
Tips for Preventing Ammonia & Stinky Diapers
Ammonia and Bacteria
Our bodies are pretty amazing, when our kidneys work to remove wastes from our bodies they secrete ammonia to help neutralize excess acid. Yes, ammonia is a natural smell in our urine. Depending on our diets and health, the strength and concentration of that ammonia might vary. Diets high in protein and nitrogen (leafy greens) may have a strong ammonia smell. If you are dehydrated, sick, or on certain medication your urine might also have a strong ammonia smell.
When you take a diaper off your baby, you might smell some ammonia. Especially in their overnight or nap diapers that smell may be stronger than daytime diapers. While some smell is normal, too much of it may lead to redness, rashes, and ammonia burns. If you suspect that you have too much ammonia smell in your diapers, you might need to change your wash routine or strip your diapers.
Do You Have Hard Water?
Simply put, hard water has a lot of minerals in it, namely calcium and magnesium. These minerals, if not properly rinse away, can lead to a mineral build-up in your diapers which may cause offensive odors! How do you know if you have hard water? Over 80% of the US has hard water, there are a few ways to find out if your water is hard. The easiest way to find out is to contact the water supply company for where you live and ask. You can also purchase a water quality test strip. Many pool supply stores will also check your water quality for you free of charge.
Hard water can lead to stinky diapers because:
Many detergents don't work as well in hard water because they have to work at softening the water rather than cleaning. Therefore, we recommend using a separate water softener, such as Calgon Water Softener* (NOT Calgon bath products). Calgon Water Softener is considered safe for use on all types of cloth diapers. *Use the recommended amount for your machine type based on the directions on the package.
If you do have hard water and havent been using a water softener, you might need to strip your diapers to remove the mineral build up. How do you strip your diapers? Read our troubleshooting guide on How to Strip Your Diapers for a few different suggestions.
You can read more about hard water and how Hard Water Can Be a Stinky Subject on our blog.
If you are battling with a rash or burn, please consult with your childs physician, it may require medical attention. For general tips for dealing with Diaper Rash, please refer to our troubleshooting guide, Diaper Rashes & Cloth Diapers.
If you need more advice for stinky diapers, you can always contact us.

Life sentence handed down for Dewani killer
The Western Cape High Court has sentenced Xolile Mngeni to life for killing tourist Anni Dewani, who was on her honeymoon in South Africa.
The Western Cape High Court has sentenced Xolile Mngeni to life for killing tourist Anni Dewani, who was on her honeymoon in South Africa.
Only after the judge considers his medical condition, will a sentence be handed down to Xolile Mngeni for the death of Anni Dewani.
Questions have been raised about who is funding the lawyer representing the man accused of pulling the trigger in Anni Dewani's murder.
Mziwamadoda Qwabe has been sentenced by the Western Cape High Court to 25 years imprisonment for kidnapping and murdering honeymooner Anni Dewani.
Two men charged with the township murder of British honeymooner Anni Dewani are to go on trial next year in the Western Cape High Court.
Xolile Mngeni, awaiting trial for the alleged murder of Anni Dewani, was still receiving treatment in prison for a malignant brain tumour.
Xolile Mngeni, one of the two men in police custody for the murder of Anni Dewani, has had surgery to remove a brain tumour, a court has been told.
A probe is under way into a security lapse around the alleged hitman in the Dewani murder, who was seen in hospital, unshackled with only one guard.
A UK court ruled Shrien Dewani can stay home for at least another two weeks following an application by SA to have his bail revoked.
When police arrested Xolile Mngeni for the murder of Swedish newlywed Anni Dewani in Cape Town in November, he was already a wanted man.
Closed circuit television video and damning text messages make up a mounting pile of evidence against Shrien Dewani.
The trial of three men arrested for the murder of honeymooning tourist Anni Dewani will resume in Cape Town on Monday
A second suspect has been arrested in connection with the hijacking and murder of a tourist in Gugulethu at the weekend.

Jwoww went beyond the call of duty during the taping of her wrestling match last Monday -- in fact, her Snook-alike opponent claims the "Jersey Shore" star's head-slamming stunt went a little overboard.
Cookie, Jwoww's opponent, tells TMZ, "I really think that girl needs to look into some counseling. Her anger issues are obviously out of control."
She adds, "Then again if my face looked like that, I'd be pretty pissed at the world too."
According to sources close to the lady wrestler, TNA medical personnel gave her a serious head-check after the beating she took ... but thankfully she was fine.
I have thought this same thing ever since I watched the show the first time. She lives to drink and then assault others. Her anger is out of control. She's constantly trying to pick a fight with anybody including her self proclaimed friends. This girl will be jailed eventually. TV series or not, assault is not funny and you aren't a hero for acting like that.
Wow, TNA is really milking this thing out as far as they can, huh? lol
Um if i recall this is wrestling it's 50/50% fake & real. If i got slapped i would do the same thing JWoww did to "Cookie" and that's how any woman wrestler reacts if they get slapped or a guest celebrity. So this "anger" issue should be thrown to the side because anger is not the case here when it comes to wrestling and putting on a good show. Why is TNA Total Non-stop Action wrestling pulling a Jersey Shore anyways? It's pointless.
JWow goes into a club and drinks and assaults other women. That's not fake and scripted. Several of these private citizens have filed lawsuits against her and others on the show. Not fake in the least. Watch the shows. She's always chanting about assaulting somebody. Even Sam.
I think Jenni is gorgeous. I find it funny how everyone else thinks it is degrading and reprehensible doing what she is doing. Why? you are a bunch of self loathing unapproachable douche bags that can't handle a woman... get real let her have her lime light.
The professional wrestler was out of line with her insult about JWoww's face. I personally think Jen Farley is absolutely beautiful, naturally. The wrestler can't fault JWoww either because she is not a professional wrestler and a few days of lessons wasn't enough. And besides, who the heck doesn't have an anger issue?
So she's a little stiff, and Cookie works the angle putting her over. Slow Sunday, TMZ?
jwowws the only good lookin chick on jersey shore, that ive seen
Who is Cookie? She's just pissed because after all her lame trash talking, Jenny kicked her ass. And Jenny may have fake boobs but she has a lovely face.
Seems kind of stupid to complain about getting hit after agreeing to compete in a wrestling match- that started with a bitch slap. If you dish it out "Cookie" you should be able to take it.
Why does that wrestler's voice sound so squeeky & broken up...she sounded nervous & damn is she ugly.
Jersey Shore is just as scripted and edited as TNA dumbass.
Get a grip.
i wish i could take my anger out that way. Job well done. Ya'll seen her on T.V. This **** is not new.
It's wrestling, what'd she think was going to happen? She got one wimpy-ass slap in and immediately got owned and she's obviously just bitter that she got humiliated by a Jersey Shore drunk. And what's she talking about with fake-ness? She's got the Snookie poof going, black french tips, big fake boobs. Oh, I get it. She must be mad that she hasn't been able to save up for the lipo that JWoww got. Lady, if you can't beat someone who was probably tipsy to begin with, you need to step out of the game and stop whining to the press. And Cookie? Damn, that's even worse than JWoww.
well this supposed to be stage up
but I think Jwooww wasnt staged enough
and beat her unexpected
well she screwed up
no wonder everyone ran off the stage
JSL...STFU. first off do you think she does this for free? cleary she is payed to do jersey shore and this event. This ugly troll deserved the beating that was handed to her. And jwow STANDS UP FOR HERSELF. if she didnt she would be a carpet and would be abused. So theyre ya go. Stop HATING ON HER SHES DOING HER THING. DAMMIT
Given the chance ANY OF YOU would do what she is.

Roosevelt Elementary School H.E.A.R.T. by H.E.A.R.T. - over 2 years ago
"Our Help Everyone be Active with the Roosevelt Team (H.E.A.R.T.) Closing event was held with a group picture of all 800 kids to celebrate their participation in our heart healthy event in Allentown, PA. The school worked with American Heart Association and Air Products in a walking challenge. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the kids walked with an Air Products volunteer before school started and received a heart sticker to post outside their classroom. Even though there was only one classroom winner, each child at Roosevelt received a H.E.A.R.T. t-shirt as a special surprise. CustomInk provided a great experience and product to help close out this special event!"

A ferociously entertaining thriller with sympathetic characters, stunning set pieces and pulsating excitement.
There's no better fun for movie lovers than a small, unheralded film that turns out to be terrific -- unless it's a small, unheralded sequel that trumps the original.
The first hour of this lean, mean, 95-minute scream machine is so tasty that it redeems the predictable conclusion.
A gruelingly tense, deftly plotted, and slyly intelligent piece of work. And also it's really really disgusting.
Deals with emotional concerns for half an hour. Then it turns into a mindless bloodfest, where it's impossible to care which characters end on the zombie gore-gasbord.

LarryBFeb 2, 2010No, Conor B., how misleading Metacritic users can be. Are you serious? You're suggesting that a zombie movie is...implausible? Are you kidding me? You're an idiot. Zombie movies aren't supposed to be about realism. They're supposed to be scary and intense, and that's exactly what 28 Weeks Later was. Stick to the more important George Clooney type movies with realistic situations and realistic people. Or, you know, you could just go outside and experience realistic situations yourself, but those aren't that entertaining, are they? And, Harry G., what they hell are you talking about? There were only a few scenes that even used CG.... Most of the people underrating this excellent movie don't even know what the hell they are talking about: they're either enraged that this movie is a sequel (and all sequels MUST suck, it's a traditional POV to take on all sequels) or they're upset over the lack of realism...in a movie about zombies. I'll stick with the critics, thanks.… Collapse
ZachB.May 14, 200728 Weeks is superb in the way it moves from Zombie film to allegory. There is a coldness and something that haunts the mind when you see the military occupation of ravaged London--now a city of the dead.… Expand
NikM.May 31, 2007Very...Very frightening. It reaches its goal of sccaring you and then some. After I saw movies like Land of the Dead, Resident Evil, Dawn of the Dead, and 28 Days Later ( all of which i liked) i classified zombie movies as action, not horror. After seeing this beast, it put zombie movies right back up in horror. Part of the movies horror though, comes not from the pictures, but from the loud, sharp and scary sound. Also, the movie seems to have absoulutley no sympathy for any character. A must see for horror movie lovers.… Expand
BruceMay 12, 2007Wow, i wasn't expecting much from this film, but it really delivered. I would say its just as enjoyable as the first film, but it definitely achieves this in different ways. Some things irritated a little bit, such as some fairly large plot holes, and a certain zombie popping up everywhere but you don't tend to notice them because of the pace at which the movie moves. A warning as well, this movie is incredibly violent. It makes the first film look g-rated in my opinion. I had one friend walk out 10 minutes in and another 3/4 of the way through.… Expand
ColbyS.May 12, 2007Jarring and unpleasant, but still a good movie. The critics were wrong about it surpassing the first one, though, as this one lacks the sense of isolation that made 28 Days Later so effective.… Expand
MaxL.May 11, 2007First half was pretty good. Second half was pretty mindless and stupid. Not nearly as good as the original. It's too bad because the premise held lots of potential to be great.… Expand
AudleyS.May 21, 2007The opening is astounding, but this terrifying rush soon turns into a plodding and implausible plot in which the characters are little but tired emotional stereotypes and are frankly so negligent and stupid that they all deserved their brutal fates. The infra red scene in the underground station was an unintentional high comedy homage to "most Haunted" and what started off as grim horror ended up as pure farce. The basic premise is the biggest hole in the plot. Stupid, unintentionally funny and a damned shame.… Expand

The Richmond School Board will close two schools and layoff administrators to close a budget shortfall.
The School Board spent four hours Monday night shaving down the spending gap from $11.6 million to $3 million. The two school closings will save money on building expenses.
The board didn't decide which schools might be closed. However, a rezoning study last year called for shutting down or re-purposing John B. Cary Elementary, Bellevue Elementary, and either Fisher or Southampton Elementary Schools.
The previous School Board decided not to close any schools after huge backlash from families and school staffers. However, the current School Board Chairman, Jeff Bourne, says there just isn't enough money to keep schools open if they are significantly under used.
"We've got tough decisions to make, and we've got an enrollment number that's declining… We've got schools that are grossly under-populated. So we've got to make some tough decisions with the information," said Bourne.
The School Board also aims to cut 42 administrative jobs, more than originally asked of Superintendent Dr. Yvonne W. Brandon. School Board members pushed another eight percent reduction out of the central administration's budget. Currently, about $4 million is being slashed. Brandon says those would likely be layoffs, as opposed to attrition or retirement. Another eight percent cut would mean additional administrative positions lost.
Some School Board members have been pushing for more cuts to what they believe is a bloated administrative staff. The superintendent resisted, saying that she fears slashing too much administration would have a negative, trickle-down effect on classrooms.
The School Board is set to vote on the final budget Wednesday, which will then go before the Richmond City Council.

Ever since her teenager years, Bo Dennis has always been on the run, leaving a trail of bodies behind her. She is a succubus, grown-up in a human family and not sure of her true roots or her true nature. That all however changes with her latest "relocation" as the whole huge supernatural community of beings similar to her is revealed. A community of beings called "fae"(faeries, fairies, etc) who have been coexisting in secret and feeding off humanity since the begining of time. The Fae are living in a fragile Cold War like situation, with the whole race split into two factions on a brink of a world war - The Dark and The Light. The war between the Dark and Light would lead to extinction of fae species, as well as of unaware humanty, so both sides mostly behave according to the set of rules they laid out. The main one being that every fae born has to be initiated into one of two sides.
In Bo's case, however - no one told her the rules, as she was hidden from both of the sides for majority of her life. When made to choose, Bo displays strong defiance to the way the fae have been living for hundreds of years - becoming a first unaligned fae, not bound to the Dark nor the Light, she starts to work as private investigator, trying to make her living in volatile town filled with criminals and secrets, both fae and human alike.
However by doing so, Bo is thrown into a middle of ruthless fae politics, with a lot of beings in both sides either wanting her gone or wanting to use her.
And as if that was not enough, the mystery of her true heritage is looming over has - as whatever has happened in supernatural community in past thousand years or so - it seems to be somehow connected to the legacy of her true family she never knew. The legacy that might as well destroy the fragile peace between two sides.
But that won't stop her. She was lost for years, but now that she has been found, she will live the life she choses to...
First of all we have:Bo Dennis
Bo is a succubus - a creature who feeds off person's life-force through sexual interaction. Bo is strong, carefree, a bit broody and dark, yet at the same time quite light-hearted when her mood allows it. Despite being what most would call serial killer, she is hellbent on retaining whatever is left of her normalcy, sympathising with humans - something unheard of in the supernatural community. She is bisexual, sexually uninhibited, a bit unstable, a bit cray, seeking out a lot of different thrils - be it pissing people off and getting into trouble, or be it no-strings-attached relationships.
Despite being what one would call a murderer and a sex-demon, Bo is surprisingly clueless at relationships(since most of those she initiates a relationship with end up getting killed by her) and there's an interesting sense of duality in her character - on one hand she is a murderer and a monster, carrying a huge weight of her own sins, as well as having to navigate the supernatural world of her real parents, whom she never knew. On the other hand she is bassically a lost schoolgirl, longing for closeness, connection, something normal, something human and warm. Which is made hard because of her ocassional tendency to snap and murder or eat people.
Defiant till the end, she is the typical example of an independent lead who does whatever the hell she wants and lives by her own set of rules. The rest of superntural world first sees her as a joke, due to the fact that she is unaligned, but soon grows to see her as either a powerful enemy or an ally.Kenzi
The moral compass of the show, a thief, a friend, a con-artist, a snark-machine, a cray cray almost-always-drunk girl with plans just as cray as her herself - Kenzi is all of those things all at once. She is Bo's human best friend that Bo ends up inadvertedly saving. She will always find time to call out others on their bullshit while ignoring her own. She will always find the time for appropriate and inappropriate pop-culture references. And despite being a mere human, she will always be a ferocious hbic capable of stunning and confusing most of supernatural community. At the same time, while she is the moral voice of the show, Kenzi also is quite possessive, self-centered, a bit egoistic, as well as fueled by her complexes, jealousy and fear of being useless. She also tends to sometimes get in way over-her-head, which might doom her in the future.
Strongly dislikes Lauren, yet has a very soft spot with Dyson, the two of them having a strange relationship bordering between friendship and something more. Despite that also seems to be somewhat attracted to Hale, since she can relate to him and enjoys him treating her as an equal.
The best way to describe Kenzi is to imagine an always-drunk cray hybrid of Buffy, Veronica and Cordelia, who has grown up in a family of possibly russian mafia. She is someone who is impossible to predict and could very well bring you a cake one day, rob you the blind the next and join travelling circus the third.Lauren
Lauren is a human doctor/scientist working for the Light side. Geeky, a bit insecure at times, but very direct, when she has something to say, Lauren is someone who, just like Bo is haunted and bound by the past, represented by the necklace she wears that has quite surprising meaning and origin.
Lauren is the "brains" of the whole cast. Someone who does not fear to voice her own moral concerns, but at the same time is someone who likes to hide quite a few skeletons in her closet(or basement), as well to do what she thinks is necessary.
She is in love with Bo and generally sees Bo as someone redeemable and certainly not a monster. Lauren generally has some sort of untold dispute with Dyson and is generally disliked by Kenzi.Dyson
Dyson is a VERY old wolf type of a shifter, possibly more than thousand years old. Humans would call that a "werewolf", but for Dyson that would be like being insulted, since werewolves don't usually survive that long, nor have control over their powers.
Posessive. Asshole. condescending. Overly-masculine. There are many ways to describe Dyson. Dyson is the typical "wolf" type of a character - someone who is prideful, enjoys being in control and hates being weak or being told what to do. Fairly provocative and challenging in self-defense, when someone picks upon his vulnerabilities. Although while egoistic, he would sacrifice himself for those he cares about without a second thought.
Dyson is in love with Bo, even if that love, at times, comes off as a whole lot more selfish than Lauren's. Generally displays a strong dislike towards Lauren. Has a strong soft-spot for Kenzi, as well as a long and mysterious history with Trick.Trick
Possibly the most enigmatic and mysterious character in the entire show, Trick does not like to reveal ANYTHING about who he is or what he wants. From the outside he seems like a nice, well-mannered, grandpa who would cheer you up and comfort you with a strong hug. However despite such an appearance and behavior, Trick can be very cold and calculating doing a lot of strange and dick-ish decisions if they benefit his goals. Also he might work as bartender, but he seems to hold influence in the supernatural community to the point that even highest-ranking fae would think twice before going against his suggestions.
Is friendly towards Kenzi. Has a particular interest in Bo. Seems to have a huge past connection to Dyson, as well as intricate knowledge of the role Bo is supposed to play in the things to come.Hale
Dyson's best friend(or as close as that gets with Dyson), Hale is snarky, light-hearted, playboy siren, coming from a very dysfunctional and dangerous family. He behaves in such a way Hale's origins or connection to his family might seem to be unlikely. Is very friendly with Kenzi, first because he can relate to being a "sidekick" and then because he genuinely admires her.
First of all, don't expect the cast to dress badly - just because you sometimes eat people does not mean you have to shop at salvation army store:
Also expect a LOT of eyecandy...for both genders:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TRAILERS Fan Made S1 trailer Official S1 Trailer
One of the most progressive shows on tv right now.
Takes the meaning of gender, sexual and racial equality to a new level and, what's more important does not try to differentiate lgbt relationships in order to get free publicity(which usually ends up happening in other shows, in turn turning what should be a great and interesting relationship into a caricature *cough* glee *cough*)
In this show, writers do NOT make a big deal about on how the lead is bisexual - she just is. Its part of who she is and everyone in the show treats it as completely normal and usual. Its not there to be a "point". Its not there to the "focus" - its there because its normal and no different from being hetero/homo/a-sexual.
The concept of slut-shaming does not exist. The fac that the lead enjoys sex is taken as a NORMAL thing and the fact that she has casual sex is not demonised, which is VERY rare for genre tv show, considering the amount of sexism it usually has. Bo is an independent strong female lead who is not restricted in her sexuality, who is not punished for liking both men and women. Which is EVEN MORE rare currently.
Plot and characters wise?
Its the best damn guilty-pleasure show that is airing right now. Every character is likeable, yet an asshole at the same time. The over-arching mystery of Bo's family, as well as the puzzle pieces of how her life and role fits into all of that are enjoyable too.
Let's not forget villains, which show does VERY DAMN WELL - just to take two to make an example - Vex is enjoyable, snarky and twisted. Morrigan is downright cold, calculating, cruel and snarky, yet at the same time somewhat vulnerable and petty.
The show also does GREAT in moral ambiguity department - lead characters are allowed to do bad things, to feel negative emotions, to be self-centered, egoistic and bitchy. Bo is a killer and show does not shy away from her past, nor her current struggle and the same can be said about other characters.
Relationship wise - Lost Girl has one of the most mature and grown-up definitions of relationships and love triangles. The teen-drama style of relationship problems is kept to a minimum and most of relationship roadblock situations are solved in surprisingly mature matter(for example, in one of most recent examples, one character has been unfaithful to the other, so what does that character do? Angst? NOPE. The said unfaithful sits down with the person he/she has been unfaithful to and just outright explain what happened. The said person understands and they both reconcile, setting up a sort of open relationship, being okay with either of them having casual sex with someone else)
Overall its just a damn great show. For me, personally it feels like a mix of first two-three seasons of Buffy, first season of TVD and the better parts of Charmed.

NEW YORK — The nation's biggest banks wrongfully foreclosed on more than 700 military members during the housing crisis and seized homes from roughly two dozen other borrowers who were current on their mortgage payments, findings that eclipse earlier estimates.
Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo uncovered the foreclosures while analyzing mortgages as part of a multibillion-dollar settlement with federal authorities, said people with direct knowledge of the findings. In January, regulators ordered the banks to identify military members and other borrowers who were evicted in violation of federal law.

Proximal renal tubular acidosis
Proximal renal tubular acidosis is a condition that occurs when the kidneys don't properly remove acids in the urine, leaving the blood too acidic.
Alternative Names
Renal tubular acidosis - proximal; Type II RTA; RTA - proximal; Renal tubular acidosis type II
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Your kidneys help regulate your body's acid-base balance (pH). Acidic substances in the body are buffered (counteracted) by alkaline substances, primarily bicarbonate.
The kidneys contain more than a million filtering units, called nephrons. Bicarbonate is reabsorbed into the blood in the initial (proximal) part of the tubule of each nephron. Proximal renal tubular acidosis (Type II RTA) occurs when bicarbonate is not properly reabsorbed by the proximal tubules, leaving the body in an acidic state (called acidosis).
Type II RTA is less common than Type I RTA. It most often occurs during infancy, and may go away by itself.
Causes of type II RTA include:
- Cystinosis
- Drugs such as ifosfamide (a chemotherapy drug), outdated tetracycline, aminoglycoside antibiotics, or acetazolamide
- Fanconi syndrome
- Inherited fructose intolerance
- Multiple myeloma
- Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Sjogren syndrome
- Wilson's disease
- Confusion or decreased alertness
- Dehydration
- Fatigue
- Increased breathing rate
- Osteomalacia
- Muscle pain
- Rickets
- Weakness
Other symptoms can include:
- Decreased urine output
- Increased heart rate or irregular heartbeat
- Muscle cramps
- Pain in the bones, back, flank, or abdomen
- Skeletal deformities
Signs and tests
Arterial blood gas and blood chemistries may suggest metabolic acidosis and electrolyte imbalances, most often low levels of potassium or bicarbonate.
Other tests that may be done include:
- Blood pH level
- Urine pH
- Urinalysis may show abnormal levels of phosphate, calcium, glucose, and amino acids
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
The goal is to restore the normal pH (acid-base level) and electrolyte balance to the body. This will indirectly correct bone disorders and reduce the risk of osteomalacia and osteopenia in adults.
Some adults may need no treatment. All children need alkaline medication to prevent acid-induced bone disease, such as rickets, and to allow normal growth. The underlying cause should be corrected if it can be found.
Alkaline medications include sodium bicarbonate and potassium citrate. They correct the acidic condition of the body and correct low blood potassium levels. Thiazide diuretics may indirectly decrease bicarbonate loss but may worsen the low blood potassium levels.
Vitamin D and calcium supplements may be needed to help reduce skeletal deformities resulting from osteomalacia or rickets.
Expectations (prognosis)
Although the underlying cause of proximal renal tubular acidosis may go away by itself, the effects and complications can be permanent or life-threatening. Treatment is usually successful.
- Electrolyte imbalances, such as hypokalemia
- Osteomalacia
- Rickets
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of proximal renal tubular acidosis.
Get medical help immediately if you develop any of the following emergency symptoms:
- Decreased alertness or orientation
- Decreased consciousness
- Seizures
Most of the disorders that cause proximal renal tubular acidosis are not preventable.

Fake product reviews widespread
Study of online reviews finds many more 'counterfeit' than originally believed. And not from paid reviewers, either.
Even though many sites that feature consumer reviews have tried to control fake comments -- which are sometimes paid for by businesses with an interest in shifting public opinion -- a new threat is on the horizon, according to a recently released study.
Real customers of companies are writing numerous negative reviews about products they haven't bought, according to research by Duncan Simester, a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and Eric Anderson, marketing professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
"We know of situations where online reviews are manipulated in a strategic way," Simester said. "But rather than being posted by a handful of rogue reviewers, our research revealed very critical comments by real people, most of whom have been very loyal customers."
The unusual aspect of the discovery is that there is no apparent financial incentive for the reviews as is the case when someone is engaged to disparage a competitor or prop up a particular product or business.
"These findings suggest that the phenomenon of deceptive reviews may be far more prevalent that we would otherwise think," Simester said.
The study looked at comments posted to the web site of a clothing company that has "hundreds of thousands of product reviews." An analysis of the reviews showed approximately 5% of the reviews were by consumers who did not seem to have purchased the items. And those reviews, the study found, were far more negative than the rest of the reviews. The professors said they also looked at book reviews on Amazon.com and found a similar pattern.
Simester said that even though a small percentage of people generate the reviews -- less than 2% of customers -- the reviews appear to have some impact on what people purchase.
It isn't clear why these people are writing so many negative reviews, although Simester suggested a couple of possibilities. These consumers "may be acting as self-appointed brand managers" and make the comments as a means of trying to guide the company. Or they may be trying to build "their perceived social status through demonstration of their expertise."
When reading reviews of products online, it's important to apply some filters before making a decision based on them. While some phony reviews stand out, some appear legitimate at first glance.
Here are some tips to consider when reading reviews:
- Be skeptical of those with overly glowing language or marketing terms as well as those that seem to go to an extreme in a negative direction. You'll get a better sense of reality from those that focus on the actual experience or use of a product.
- If a review really catches your attention, click on the reviewer's name to see other comments posted by the same person. It can give you a sense whether the commenter is a serial complainer or perhaps only writes positive reviews for a certain brand.
- Be leery of reviews that try to explain away problems cited in other reviews.
