On my most recent trip to DC JW Marriott I notice that I was the only one who tipped the attendants in the CL. I was there 4 days and I never saw a single person leave a tip. I have found this to be the case in the other CLs I visited as well.
I wonder if these folks went to a buffet restaurant do they not leave a tip there either? Perhaps I am the odd person here and the norm for MR gold and platinum members is to NOT tip for service. Do these same people not tip the bellhop? Maybe they dont tip the cab driver?
Is there a difference between CL attendants and other service people?
what is your experience and habit on tipping in the CL?
I normally do not carry cash with me when in the CL, or for that matter much of anyplace, the little amount of cash I'd carry would be insulting to leave. When I have return visits to a property and the same CL Associate is on duty I always slip them a nice crazy out of control tip for their attention to the lounge and myself.
I am the same. Don't usually carry cash with me unless that state I'm traveling through has tolls, or if I'm in Vegas. Like you I normally tip on the last day if its warranted. I stay in Norcross, GA alot because that's where my company's home office is, and their CL is amazing! If you ever in the area, check it out.
Actually these days the only time I carry ANY cash is in Europe. At home, because I have a variety of reward credit cards that I pay off each month, I use them even for small postal service fees. On the few occasions I take out cash from my bank, it usually sits there in my wallet until coming back from Europe for tolls.
Same here. I never keep cash on me, because everytime I turn around, someone wants some!
I just want miles/points ! And cash is useless for that.
Have to admit I'm sort of hit & miss on tipping in CL. Usually do it when I get some personal service (e.g., picking up dishes) or when it is a very high quality CL with a busy attendant.
I have NEVER tipped in the CL (except for a single time when the attendant went above and beyond on providing liquor). Of course, people think of me as pretty tight........
I do not normally tip in the CL, though I am a very good tipper for my hotel room (assuming the service warrants it). The only exceptions were when I was staying in the Omar Khayyam Palace in Cairo and the Polat Istanbul. Wine costs a pretty penny if you buy it at a restaurant in most Islamic countries (though Turkey doesn't politically count in that rubric, it's wine is every bit as expensive. So if you give some money under the table to your regular servers they will keep pouring the free wine in the CL in those places.
I have in fact tipped a Concierge but not every time. I find that repeating at a hotel, getting beyond amazing service and being recognized deserves a special tip and that I have done for some special associates.
Most of the places where I have stayed have not been what would count as regular stays (the Grand Flora for a while and the good ole Rive Gauche were the only ones, and the Flora doesn't have a lounge). Most of the places where I do stay (like the Ledra) they tend to be interns, who are wonderful, but seldom the same ones twice.
THANK YOU for posting this and raising this issue. And, not surprisingly, our colleagues had already articulated many of my perceptions and practices: I look forward to seeing more responses, and I hope we'll get some reactions from the Marriott staff. Much interesting food for thought.
I agree there is a fine line between being served and getting service that you would expect for the room price being paid. In the lounge there is a steady stream of folks whom I have observed who do not want their tab on their bill (either because they have entered the lounge illegally or know that their expense will not be reimbursed when on business) but it is hard to know if the cash offers includes a tip.
I consider the lounge in most cases to be a perk earned, and if I choose not to buy any alcohol, then I am merely eating at a hotel restaurant for which I have paid. On weekends where breakfast coupons are offered, I always tip the server since he or she is working for those tips. Just my read!
My outlook, too, anadyr, although I just consider it to be the difference in the way waitresses are paid vs hostesses and not because of a perk. I tip on the value of the food for a comped breakfast since waitresses depend on tips. I don't think the CL falls under the category of the wages allowed by the government to be paid to food service personnel. I would be very surprised since that is a service provided by the hotels. If one of the hostesses were to ever serve wine to my husband, then I'm sure he would tip.
I ALWAYS tip in the concierge lounge...$1-$2, if alone, $2-$3 if accompanied by my spousal equivalent. I usually hand it directly to the attendant upon leaving the lounge.
I usually only use the CL to get water, but on stays that i actually use the CL (meeting the team for a end of the day sync-up) I'll tip the CL attendant. Also, if i use the CL regularly (even if i am only using it for the water), I'll tip the CL attendant on the day of departure. Once exception to this was my stays at a NY Marriott that I stayed at for about 9 months, every sunday-thursday, and the CL attendants went above and beyond every week ( leaving a snack and water in my room when i was checking in late, being generous with the pour's of scotch when i'd go to the lounge etc. etc.). I made sure i tipped all the CL staff at that hotel generously (gift cards / cash etc.; stopping by and saying hello to them if i was passing by the CL even if i didn't need anything).
In most Marriotts in Europe that have CLs, you simply serve yourself to wine, beer, other beverages (everything is free) as well as hors d'oeuvres and desserts. It was only in Turkey and Egypt (where it was still free) that you were served by someone, hence my money under the table. (The under the table part was a 'just in case' for those people since they may not have been encouraged to pour the wine liberally or take tips.)
I have actually had the lounge attendants (where they exist) do almost nothing for me except once in a while ask for my room number. The people who refill the food in the serving area, if they interact with you -- or once at the Ledra helped me with Greek -- are a different matter.
I also tip when there is no CL and weekend breakfasts are served complimentary in the hotel restaurant.
That would be above and beyond. I agree that tipping is deserved then. I once saw a hostess in the Dallas Ren. who sent food to someone who stayed there often and was sick. I would tip then, too.
I also tip extra to the housekeeper in a room where I've had to ask for late check out for some reason since that sometimes will put them behind in their schedule.
Same here, I always leave something.
I fall in the category of tipping for service delivered directly for my benefit - if they are providing me drinks or food or clearing tables, helping with reservations, providing information, etc. I am a very generous tipper for cabs that go fast or take the most direct route, restaurant staff that are clearly professionals and serve with both attention to detail but giving you your privacy and space (I have been accused of over tipping in europe, since they are professional wait staff who get a living salary/wage, but I would rather over than under tip) and, in general folks who take their service profession seriously and appear to geniunely care about delivering excellence. Agree with SSINDC on the issue of having to call and ask for something that should have already been taken care of - towels, shampoo, iron, roll-away if requested in advance, etc. I am not inclined to tip but always feel guilty when I don't, since there is a good chance the person delivering the requested items may not have been the one to err in originally delivering them.
Great idea for a post. I fall in the category of an occasional tipper with the deciding factor beinwe quality of service received. It is nice to see the other approaches and opinions .
I too do not carry cash all the time esp. on local and short trips. Tipping on CL for me is also a hit and miss. However, I will go out of my way to get cash if the service rendered was above the norm.
While we are on the subject of tipping, do you tip your housekeeper? Say, 2 night weekend stay or etc? I will usually leave 5-10 dollars in the room (desk) but of course, at times, I forget. Would like to know what others do. There was a time I left a check for a housekeeper that went above and beyond. I knew her name and asked for her last name; I asked for the manager if this is appropriate (during checked out) and she said it was alright. So I gave the manager the envelope to give to her.
Good to read post about hotel tippings. At times, I'm just not sure what's appropriate. Thank you!
Everyone seems to have a different opinion on tipping. I always tip the housekeeper in a fancy European hotel 5-10 euros a day; at an ok hotel about a euro.
i usually tip housekeeping, 5-20$ for my standard 3 night stays, depending on the location.
When I left Prague, I gave the rest of my Czech Republics (or whatever they are) to the maid. She seemed happy about it. I also tipped the morning lady and the evening lady in the CL at the end of my stay. They really did a great job.
The porter wasn't happy that my brother-in-law wouldn't let him take our bags. He grumpily told us, "This IS a five star hotel, you know!" I guess he must've felt that if we wouldn't give him an opportunity to do his job and earn a tip that he would give us a "tip" instead! (I don't know if it's because my brother-in-law is Aussie or frugal or that he just honestly drives a hard bargain, but he's not much of a tipper. In Oz, service personnel are paid well, and so tips are not really expected. If it had been just me, I would've happily let the porter take our bags. That's one of the perks I would happily enjoy while being on a special holiday, but to each his own.)
I read one Aussie teenager's thoughts on customs in the U.S. after she was an exchange student in CA. She didn't see why people in the U.S. tipped because they make decent wages in Australia.
If you think about it, there wouldn't have to be tipping here in the states if the federal wages didn't exempt the employers from paying them less. And then the IRS taxes them as if they earn tips on everything that they should, so the IRS is sometimes being unreasonable. I think I got a dime for a tip for the summer I worked as a waitress there. I found out one of the manager's daughters was very "religious" but was taking all of my tips while she wiped the tables and I took the orders. Her "non-religious, wild" younger sister dug through the trash to get the dime tip that I'd thrown away because "I never got tips".
There was a restaurant in Northeast Mall in Hurst, TX years ago that asked that people not tip because they were already being given wages and raises.
Someone else asked how people could be so insensitive as to not tip "working people". Well, not all people have jobs where they are tipped, but they make minimum wage and support themselves. Does that mean they shouldn't eat out? Some would say they should only get take-out at most, I guess.
I worked with a woman who made minimum wage. She bought her own food and kept it on a separate shelf from her husband's, whose food was much better than hers because he made good wages but gave her nothing. She paid her own way to all activities they went to together. They did separate income taxes because he made his money and she made hers. (Not a real marriage in my book.) But she left a quarter for a tip and did so very reluctantly once when we ate out together. I say I couldn't have lived under those conditions, but I wasn't in her shoes, since she had grown up in a family with an alcoholic father who beat her mother and sometimes all they had to eat were crackers.
When my husband and I were dating, we went to a buffet restaurant and my 2 sons sat in the booth on my side. They were young toddlers and I had no wedding ring on. Every time my "then date" emptied his drink, she was Johnny-on-the-spot with a refill, ignoring my sons and me. When we were through, she was standing near when I said "Let ME tip." as I got my coin purse out. She quickly hopped over and asked if there was anything she could get me. I coldly replied, "No, thank you." as I got a penny out of my coin purse. Her mouth dropped. She had worked so hard for the tip she was counting on.
I doubt that many of you have been in the situations that many people face yet some judge as if everyone is in theirs.
sounds like someone hit a chord with you on this subject. I would totally agree with you that this subject is very personal to some and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally, I have always felt that it is not my responsibility to make sure someone makes a fair wage. It is their employers responsibility. I tip generously when someone goes above and beyond for me, but do not feel anyone is entitled to any tip just because it is customary. Just as my 'bonus' (I would compare a bonus to a tip) is not guaranteed, nor should a tip. I truly hope folks can understand that my position is not elitist, because it isn't, and I am not. Would someone tip the hygienist at the dentist office? How about the stewardess on your next flight? Ever tip her? When we accept the responsibility for a piece of someone's income, the employer will never re-take that responsibility back. That's my opinion.
How people can be insensitive to working people surprises me.
You're right, shoeman. That anyone could even make this statement irks me to no end. Everyone has to think the way everyone else does? BORING!! That would mean we were all cut from the same mold. We're not.
To my way of thinking, it's really insensitive to think that everyone is in the same boat as everyone else.
I agree with you completely about the tipping.
And many times, when I tip a beautician, I get home to discover that the botched haircut I got was covered up really well by backcombing and hairspray and I feel doubly robbed that I tipped for that botched haircut. My hair is baby fine and I find out that the permanent I got is burning my hair because it wasn't rinsed enough or timed correctly after the chemicals are put in and the burning smell of my hair makes me have to wash it that evening. I'm through with perms for that reason.
When I was young and had 2 babies to support on my own, I was told I had to donate to the office for them to give toys to children whose mothers were on welfare. I chose to work, even for minimum wage at $1.65 / hr. so I could advance hopefully and so I wouldn't have time to worry. They were telling me that I had to donate to these women whose children were getting more than mine?
I was told on another job that I had to donate the same as everyone else for a blender for a wedding gift because her friend took up the collection and said that's what she wanted. She (the one taking up the collection) was single, living at home, and able to buy a new Mustang because that's the only thing she had to make a payment on. She also lived in the same neighborhood as Tom Landry and went to school with his daughter. (That shows what she was used to.)
I think a lot of people are just in their own little worlds and don't bother to find out what it's like for others.
BTW, living here at RI for the last 3 years, I've heard the housekeepers talk about their paychecks. They're bigger than I could ever make. And the hairpieces they wear, the nails they have applied, and the nights out that I hear about are more than I ever spend on those kinds of things.
EB - you made my day! as we used to say, 'keep on truckin''
pluto77, Your description of the money as Czech republics made my day!!! Love it! That is definitely something I would say
I leave $5 each day for housekeeping (even at RI and Courtyard) and then 5-10 on checkout depending on the space i have. if i got a nice upgraded suite i leave 10 on check out day. Most times i just find housekeeper in AM and exchange my towels and hand her a 5. i feel these folks work hard and many time are unappreciated. i have many good connections and friends at my regular hotels making friends with the employees. I use to work in the service industry so i appreciate these low wage, hard working folks.
I respect and admire your generous position on tipping. However, I wonder why a nice room or suite upgrade would prompt you to tip the housekeeper mpre generously. why not tip the front desk clerk that upgraded you? just-sayin'......
I tip more as there is more space to clean. Larger bathrooms, living room and bedroom, takes alot more time to clean larger space. At my regular hotels I will give the front desk person a small gift if they get me my favorite room. thanks for the question.
Interesting comments,
I'm a housekeepers dream. I always leave my hotel room spotless. I guess I'm just a neat freak! I, too, leave a tip for the housekeepers and the CL staff. If I see the housekeeper in the hallway, I might ask for shampoo, etc.; I do give a tip. Most are shocked of the tip as though they don't usually get tips.
I too am a housekeepers dream. I was taught to always leave it better than you found it (and neither here nor there, but to help out in the kitchen.) I've spent dozens of family vacations at my parents vacation homes where the rule is, when you're done, you clean it and leave it fresh and ready for the next family member. So it's just habit. Sometimes quite honestly, I forget to leave a tip for housekeeping. I hope at least on those occasions that being a "clean" guest is gift enough.
I have traveled for years and appreciate that CL persons do this for a living and deserve a tip even mores than perhaps Restaurant servers. You get the Food for Free and I would bet that many business persons put in for cash reimbursement on Expense accounts. How people can be insensitive to working people surprises me. I not only tip CL personnel, but room service every day.
Ever leave something behind in your room. Don't wait until the last day to tip them. They will remember you even if they don't get to know you. Leave a note with a happy face and a few dollars. If you ever forget a Charger, cell phone, etc. They will remember and even go out of their way to help the one person who tips
Great advice.... You're right! I've done that too. By the way, are you sure the person cleaning your room is the one who gets to keep the tip? I've encountered the supervisor with the clipboard who checks the room before housekeeping cleans it, will sometimes take the tip. This usually happens on the day of check out. It might be better to aways put the tip in the hands of the person you want to have it. Just food for thought.
Although I too am a housekeeper's dream, I have often wondered if my large tips end up in the hands of the person who refills the minibar (which would be a double problem since I hate minibars)!
you are correct in stating that sometimes the supervisor takes the tip, that is why i try to tip each day and then on checkout i try to find the person who will be cleaning my room and hand it to that person or leave it slightly hidden under something in the bathroom with a note should i not find the correct person. on multiple nights stays i hang the do not disturb sign and find the housekeeper to get fresh towels and other needed items and hand them a five. It seems like we are in the minority on this topic based on others responses.
I am sure most business travelers expense a daily tip for housekeepers and for the FREE breakfast in the CL and it is a real shame they are actually cheating on their exp reports and pocket the money verses actually leaving a small token of gratitude for those who provide the service and make minimal wages.
Totally agree. I spend several weeks at a RI in n fl each year. I tip the housekeeping staff and staff at breakfast. on one of my stays i had left a jacket in the room and the housekeeper ran down to the parking lot to catch me before i pulled away. Nice touch!
It used to be that everyone paid with cash, or possibly a check, for everything, everywhere. However, we now live in the credit and debit card age and are heading for mobile payments, but one should always try to tip servers with cash wherever possible. Source of article: Tipping
I agree that it is much better to tip with cash, but restaurant bills can get high and that is a lot of loose cash to carry around.
If I receive service I tip. In the CL's I regularly visit I get very lovely service. If I run in for water at night I don't tip.
I generally tip once a week in the CL as the people are the same and they split evenly - I have asked.
The same goes for maid service I generally tip 2-5 a day depending on the service. If it was horrendous I call and deal with it immediately. I have had wonderful housekeeping folks who have noticed things like I left a very expensive hair brush - they put aside for my next stay and left me a note when they saw I had arrived. They make sure I have water in my room, extra glasses - as I like to put my toothbrush in one to drain.
I travel with cash specifically for tips. If i eat in the CL free of charge i us this to get reimbursed - under $24.99 no receipt required.
I did work in the service industry so i am very sensitive to this.

A BREWERY is launching a series of ales to bottle the memory of some historic characters.
Wall's Brewery, in Northallerton, said it will toast Thirsk-born 18th century professional cricketer Thomas Lord, the father of flight and Scarborough MP Sir George Cayley with full-bodied brews.
The series has started with Longevity, a milk stout in tribute to Henry Jenkins, of Ellerton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire, who claimed to be 169 years old before he died in 1670.

Jenkins claimed to have been born in 1501, before parish records were required, and to have carried arrows to the English archers at the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
A spokesman for the brewery said: "It is a really strong area for tourists and hopefully people will see the bottles and ask more questions about the characters."

Get notified when packages go on sale.
With pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Jay Anderson, drummer Evan Sherman, and saxophonist/flautist Bruce Williams.
Eminent pianist Stanley Cowell started his jazz career in the 1960s, working with artists like Max Roach Charles Tolliver, Bobby Hutcherson, and Stan Getz. Of that period of jazz – and of Cowell's role in it – the New York Times noted an important balance that has always been a constant in Cowell's art: "music both of reinvention and repertory... original, independent-minded work, comfortable with jazz tradition and common practice but not beholden to it." The same can be said about every member of his A-list quartet. They perform a combination of originals and well-known tunes, but even the standards are often unique interpretations, broken down and reassembled anew to answer unasked questions like "what if Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie's breakneck bebop burner 'Anthropology' was performed as a loosely timed ballad?" The answers are always worth hearing.

We had them in Salt Lake City this weekend..
Utah is too die-hard conservativwe Republican for them to have much of an impact..
The whole purpose behind min- wage jobs is #1 have jobs for high school students and #2 motivate you to get the RIGHT education and training so that you DON'T have to say "Do you want fries with that??" These jobs aren't meant for folks to raise a family on..
If anyone is wondering what GOOD training is....consider horseshoeing/farrier work..dont' need a college degree and mine is busier than my stylist..when mine is out trimming my horse I have to book the next two month appoint.right there or I'll never get in....when you move out to Utah email me.
SaraSarah - they're just hippies - they won't have much of an impact anywhere that's not a college campus. They are fueled by rage and hate, not by a love of anything. They hate the country and it's institutions, and I am sure you will not find much love for Christ among those marijuana-reeking crowds either.
A bunch of "Rage Against the Machine" crap. And seriously, what a disgusting, horrible band, too.

Good morning, everyone. I just wanted to share with you one of the cards we made at the Christmas Card Class,I know I shared it previously but I wanted to add something about it. I think this one was the Favorite of all of them. I almost did not purchase this set because I thought it was going to be too hard to line up the stamps to make the snowman cute but it was really easy. I dont think anyone struggled with it.
I am also trying to find one that we can do at the Card Buffet on Friday night and I think I found the one I want to do but I am keeping my eyes open. I think this is now my favorite snowman set ever.Thanks for stopping by today
Rubber hugs

Subject | Re: Possible missing collation info for DVDs? |
Date | Wed, 23 May 2007 16:57:47 GMT |
I looked at ResultColumn's convertConstant method which has the 2 calls to DataValueFactory.getVarcharDataValue(String). This method gets called in following sequence convertConstant(TypeId, int, DataValueDescriptor) - org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ResultColumn columnTypeAndLengthMatch(ResultColumn) - org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ResultColumn columnTypesAndLengthsMatch(ResultColumnList) - org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.ResultColumnList bindStatement() - org.apache.derby.impl.sql.compile.InsertNode It looks like InsertNode's bindStatement method calls columnTypesAndLengthsMatch to make sure that the source and target column types and lengths match and if not, then it should insert a NormalizeResultSetNode on top of the source. If the source happens to have constants, then we try to convert the constant to the type of the target(this happens in ResultColumn's convertConstant method). Since none of this code flow happens for a collation operation, in theory, it will be ok with not setting the correct collation type and derivation and hence the code should not run into any problem even if it stayed as it is. If my understanding is wrong about how the constants in the insert statement can't be part of a collation operation, then please let me know. That will help me write a good test case for this insert case. Ideally though, it will not hurt to have the correct collation type and derivation setting on constants in this case whether or not they get used in a collation method. So, I will go ahead and do that. thanks, Mamta On 5/22/07, Daniel John Debrunner <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > These two classes have direct calls to DataValueFactory methods that > return a CHAR/VARCHAR DataValueDescriptor with UCS_BASIC collation. > > CharConstantNode > Two calls to DataValueFactory.getCharDataValue(String) > > ResultColumn > Two calls to DataValueFactory.getVarcharDataValue(String) > > > I wonder if they should instead be obtaining a CHAR/VARCHAR value based > upon collation settings? > > Dan. > > > > > > > | |

Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000) 3D plasma TV
Samsung's best plasma has 3D, Smart TV and a thin design
- Excellent picture quality
- Great design
- Impressive sound quality from a thin TV
- The Series 6 might be slightly better value
- EPG is slow to load and navigate
Bottom Line
The 2011 edition of Samsung's Series 8 plasma is, as we'd expected, an impressive piece of technology. Its sound and visuals are great, and the inclusion of various 'Smart TV' features makes the Series 8 a useful multimedia device as well as a traditional TV. The built-in Web browser isn't perfect and we'd definitely prefer a notebook if one was close to hand, and some of the features are a little imperfect, but the Series is is nonetheless a big step forward from the featureless TVs of a couple of years ago.
The Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000) is a 59in 3D plasma TV that builds on the high quality and impressive performance of last year's Series 7 plasma. It's got an excellent plasma panel and can display a great deal of detail from Full HD video, with almost no loss of detail in dark and bright scenes. We're still not sold on the 3D, but it's better than last year's attempt. Similarly, the Smart TV features aren't perfect but they provide a distraction to mundane digital TV.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000): Design
Samsung was onto a good thing when it debuted its new TV designs last year — twelve months on, they don't look outdated. The Series 8 has an all-metal bezel and the same four-legged stand that last year's Samsungs impressed us with (though we did sense some inspiration from Loewe, whose Individual TVs have a similar cross-style stand).
The Series 8's bezel is only around an inch thick around the entire TV display, and if you're viewing from more than a couple of metres away it doesn't stand out at all. Samsung says that the thin bezel has allowed an increase in screen size of an inch without increasing the overall size of the TV — thus the 59in display size instead of the more common 58in.
Worth mentioning early is Samsung's nifty new remote control. Combining regular TV remote controls on one side with a QWERTY keyboard and five-way directional pad on the other, it's available to purchase individually but should come bundled with Series 8 and Series 7 sets. It's a god-send when you're typing addresses into the Web browser and is simple to use with good tactile feedback. It's also unexpectedly dense once batteries are in — useful for clobbering an unruly house-guest in a pinch.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000): Connectivity
As you'd expect, the Samsung Series 8 doesn't leave out anything on the connectivity front. Four HDMI 1.4-compliant ports are arranged across the TV's rear and side, as are composite, component and VGA. Wi-Fi is built in on the Samsung Series 8 and Series 7 LED and plasma TVs.
Ideally, we'd want at least one more USB port on the Series 8 — this means you could plug in the Skype webcam as well as a couple of USB flash drives. Otherwise, the Samsung Series 8 has everything we see as important in a high-end TV.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000): Setup and interface
We ran through a short setup procedure involving a digital TV channel scan and wireless network setup, both of which were completed in less than five minutes. The menu is generally easy to browse and can be clearly seen from several metres away.
Our chief criticism of the Samsung Series 8's menu is the electronic program guide. It takes almost thirty seconds to start up for the first time, and switching between channels is a slightly tedious process thanks to the live channel preview. It's still acceptable to use, but it's slower than competitors' offerings.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000): Smart TV
Samsung's Smart Hub is the go-to menu for accessing all the Series 8's Web features. Using a similar grid layout to last year's TVs, the on-screen menu is vaguely reminiscent of a smartphone — we were getting hints of iOS and Android as we downloaded and installed apps. The apps range from quite fun but slightly useless (finding yourself on Google Earth on a big screen feels very CSI) to useful but of questionable value — watching Twitter update while you're watching #masterchef might be fun, but we feel like it would be easier on a notebook.
What makes Smart TV great is the range of video on demand services. BigPond Movies on Demand offers plenty of movies at high quality levels. The use of adaptive bit-rate streaming is a coup for Samsung, as it lets downloaded movies start near-instantaneously and ramp up quality based on the bandwidth available. Other apps like ABC iView also extend the content available beyond digital TV or Blu-ray.
The Search All feature also left a positive impression. We connected the Samsung Series 8 to our test centre's 802.11n wireless network, which also has at least a dozen notebooks or PCs connected at any time. Search All was able to quickly find the content we looked for, as well as polling YouTube for any relevant online clips — typing in 'trailer' found all the Apple movie trailers shared on a nearby Apple MacBook Pro, as well as a somewhat eclectic variety of YouTube videos.
The integrated Web browser works almost like a PC's — it displays Web pages with no drama, and HTML5 and Flash elements are displayed perfectly. We did miss the convenience of navigating with a mouse or a trackpad, but you can enable a pointer and control it using the remote's directional pad as a stopgap measure.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000):2D and 3D picture quality
Everything we said about the picture quality of the Series 7 plasma from 2010 rings true here. Its off-axis viewing angles are excellent, with no colour wash-out or loss of clarity if you're watching from off centre. Like last year's Samsung plasmas we prefer the image on the Series 8 once judder and motion compensation are disabled — these sometimes lend an artificially smooth look to video. Motion is very well handled by the Samsung Series 8, and as a plasma there's no messing around with 100Hz or 200Hz frame rate simulation.
Black levels on the Series 8 are a little better than last year's Samsung plasmas could manage. The Series 8's screen still isn't able to hit an entirely black level though. If you're in a completely dark room you'll be able to see a small amount of light in dark areas, but blacks are otherwise deep and won't be an issue during movie watching. We found the colour of the Series 8 to be excellent even in the default Movie mode, with no over-saturation and vibrant and warm colour tones.
The Samsung Series 8's 3D picture quality is a small improvement on last year's offering. We ran through Coraline and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs in 3D and noticed a small amount of blurry cross-talk, especially during fast motion scenes. Unless you're searching for it, it's not an intrusive issue. The 2D to 3D conversion mode means you can watch any video in faux-3D, but we found its appeal limited — some things just don't look good in 3D, and the effect often looks unrealistic when applied to low-resolution content like DVDs.
Samsung Series 8 (PS59D8000): Conclusion
Samsung's Series 8 3D plasma TV is an excellent all-round TV. Its picture quality is impressive and there are no major problems we could find with 2D playback apart from the black level. It is able to display content clearly and with good levels of colour and detail. 3D isn't perfect but it's slightly better than last year's offering.
The new Smart Hub features are a nice inclusion, even if a lot of the apps will see only occasional use. The Web browser's fully-fledged Flash abilities make it seem like a PC-based browsing environment rather than a cut-down mobile one. We also found the Search All feature to be an excellent feature.
The Series 8's accessible price also deserves recognition. A television of this size and specification would have easily cost over $5000 less than two years ago, whereas we think it won't be long until this Series 8 is sitting on store shelves for less than $3000. However, if Web features aren't important the Series 6 will be better value. The Samsung Series 8 plasma comes highly recommended.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
Andrew Grant
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
Ed Dawson
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Michael Hargreaves
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Aysha Strobbe
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Mark Escubio
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

There is only several days left to join the Municipal Art Society of New York (MASNYC) for their wildly popular MASter Class: Researching the History of Buildings in New York City. In four highly informative sessions, architectural historian Anthony W. Robins describes how to successfully research the history of buildings in New York City. A field trip to the Manhattan Department of Buildings completes the course. This is a wonderfully fascinating look into the city that we all think we know so well. Don't miss out!
We're only two weeks into 2014 and I'm wondering how many of you are following up on your New Year's resolutions. Now this is simply a question, and not a finger-pointing accusation. Far be it from me to attempt to make you feel guilty. I personally have made resolutions for decades and never fulfilled most of them.
Here at the SoHo Journal we love safe and consensual BDSM. So how do you keep that boy under control? How do you make him feel secure yet always at your mercy? Rope is the answer ... of course! In this workshop, Bob Pesce explains basic rope bondage including different types of rope (pros and cons), safety and best practices for safer rope play, and gives insights on what happens physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically? Bob shares his insights based on 25 years of using rope.
On January 14th let historian William Wander enamor you with the history of the Tompkins Market. The Tompkins Market stood on the small city block bounded by Sixth Street, Seventh Street, Hall Place and Third Avenue, where the newest Cooper Union building now stands. It first opened in 1830, but it didn't become popular until1860 when building contained the public market, and the armory and drill rooms of the Seventh Regiment of the New York State National Guard on theupper floors, an unusual combination in the 19th century or today.
Don't miss these special occasions to learn about volunteer opportunities at the High Line. Our volunteer community plays a critical role in all areas of the park's operations. All year long you will find volunteers tending plants alongside our gardeners, introducing visitors to the park's history during guided docent tours, helping at special events, and much more.
While the holidays are festive and fun, they can take a toll on the environment. All that shopping, decoration, food preparation and travel adds up to more carbon emissions and more waste. But there are ways to minimize our impact and still celebrate the season in grand style.
On Thanksgiving, when we Americans sit around our Thanksgiving dinner tables expressing gratitude for what we've been given are we in denial about what we've taken? This is a question I've been considering as the holiday festivities are approaching. Seems to me that that the table-dominating turkey with its sleep-inducing polyurethanes overlooks the actual originof this holiday.
Our oceans are indeed in a terrible state, thanks primarily to unrestrained commercial and industrial activity. Overfishing and pollution have decimated once abundant stocks of fish and other marine life, and the damaging practices continue to this day despite international agreements outlawing them.
The lot bordered by Grand, Varick, Canal Streets and Avenue of the Americas, just west of Duarte Square, is about to feature prominently in the 'rezoning of Hudson Square.' Over the last few years, the lot has hosted, through LentSpace, various art installations, events, live music, gourmet food trucks and lessons on how to take care of city tress by the Million Tree Inititive.

Lighter blamed in Philly blaze
Music memorabilia destroyed by fire
PHILADELPHIA – A man rescued from a fire at a renowned R&B record company had been using a lighter to see inside the building, which he entered while possibly intoxicated, police said Wednesday in charging him with arson.
Police said Christopher Cimini, 27, apparently believed he was someplace else and was seen trying a set of keys before kicking in the door of Philadelphia International Records, the home of musicians including Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls and the O'Jays.
Fire, smoke and water damage from last weekend's blaze ruined 40 percent of the company's memorabilia, though the recording studio was largely spared, label co-founder Kenneth Gamble said Wednesday.
"When I walked through it the other day, it was like an old friend had died," Gamble said. "I'm looking for the resurrection. Bottom line is we'll be back."
Cimini is charged with arson, risking or causing a catastrophe, burglary, criminal trespass and other crimes in the Sunday morning blaze.
The fire damaged gold and platinum records and the company's personal inventory of CDs by Michael Jackson and the Jacksons, Pendergrass, Rawls and LaBelle, Gamble said.
Gamble's partner, Leon Huff, said, "We'll bounce back. We wrote the song – 'Only the Strong Survive.' "
Gamble, 66, Huff, 67, and fellow Philadelphia producer Thom Bell are credited with creating the lush acoustics of 1960s and '70s soul music that came to be known as the Sound of Philadelphia. Gamble and Huff's songs include the O'Jays' "Love Train," Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones" and McFadden and Whitehead's "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now."
Many of their biggest hits continue to resonate in popular culture through remakes and commercial licensing. The duo won a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1989 for Simply Red's version of "If You Don't Know Me By Now," which was originally performed by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. The O'Jays' "For the Love of Money" is the theme song for Donald Trump's TV show "The Apprentice."
Before Gamble and Huff bought the three-story brick building in 1970, it was home to Cameo Parkway Records, where Chubby Checker recorded "The Twist."
Today, the building primarily serves as the licensing arm of Philadelphia International Records, which hosts tour groups and offers a small gift shop.

Amazing service
Such wonderful service. The food is so flavorful. Prices are very reasonable.
Pros: flavor, service, location
Great Place to Eat At
I have been coming here for years; highly recommend.
Small hole in the wall with AMAZING food
Went there for a quick catch up dinner with a friend. Service was okay. Decor was eh. BUT THE FOOD! The food was outstanding. I grabbed a take out menu and plan to eat here as much as I can!
Pros: Food, Dosas, FOOD
Cons: Atmosphere, Hard to access parking lot, Service
I love their food-and they're vegan-friendly :)
I love Udupi Bhavan. I go there every time I'm in Lowell. They are a vegetarian Indian restaurant and the food is excellent. I became vegan this past year, and now whenever I go and ask if certain dishes have dairy, they are always willing to talk to the chefs and have it made without if possible.
Pros: vegetarian, vegan-friendly, great prices

I'm sure you've all noticed the decline in the intelligence of our children. I'm not talking about knowlege of geography, politics, or advanced sciences, just the basics like making change for a dollar, or balancing a check book. In the rest of the industrial world, the kids seem to be getting smarter. Ours, not so much. Do you think it is some sort of reversal in the evolution of the collective American I'Q? Could it be some thing in the food or water? Or could this guy be right? What do you think? -- I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. I'm sorry,thanks. |

Well you get what you pay for. House GOP Looks to Slash Education Spending Republicans Cut Education Funds To Cause Public Schools to Fail (Click this link if video fails) How many ways can Republican subsidize corporations? Let us count the ways. The privatization of schools, Medicare, Social Security, Healthcare, Military contractors or mercenaries, and municipal water systems are all being considered as cash cows for privatization to the corporate contributors to the GOP. How do we spell "corporate welfare? CHA C-H-I-N-G!!! "Let's privatize our school systems", say Republicans. "Charter schools are better". This is a lie. But many people are buying in to the idea of more corporate welfare and less "socialism". The GOP's plan? Cut funds for public education, causing less money to be available for teachers and school district, wait for them to fail, then point to failed school system and say: "SEE! They aren't doing a good job at teaching our kids. That's why we need business to take it over." When you look at the statistics, New York is rated number one in education. There's a correlation between salaries of teachers and results. Maybe this is why Texas has the worst High School graduation rate of all the 50 States.
Just because Red States don't charge corporations as much in taxes, doesn't mean someone else doesn't pay for those tax breaks the GOP governors don't collect in revenues. So, the GOP's plan to privatize education is one that works to the benefit of the private sector, but not one that benefits our kids and their readiness to compete in a global economy. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

I might get beat up for this but I feel that lots of tenured teachers become complacent, they present a lesson plan by reciting some facts or statements and moving on. Children need to be taught to think and teachers need to be held accountable for the children's educational development. School Administrators need to be held accountable for the teachers, aids, etc that they are supposed to be supervising. |
#10 posted 03-11-2012 02:25 PM |
You are exactly right, Casual. Anytime someone can not be fired just because of incompetence, they have no incentive to exert any effort. Most government jobs are like that. You have to really try hard to get yourself fired. Even when an employee can't do the job, they'll will just move them somewhere that they can't do as much damage. -- I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. I'm sorry,thanks. |

Personally I think the teachers could do a better job if the Government would stay out of the classroom. The teachers can't even raise their voice to little Johnny/JoAnna without either getting scalped by the system or the parents. I can't fault any teachers, good or bad, because I couldn't put up with the little beggars. BTW, there is 4 teachers in my family and the things they tell, I know I wouldn't make it. -- Life is good. |

RandyM68, So just what are YOU proposing to FIX it Randy? Cut even more funding for schools so that school buildings fall into further disrepair? Cut off air-conditioning to these Deep South schools so the kids can sit and sweat in the classroom instead of learning? Cut teacher salaries so that fewer teachers will even choose teaching as a career? Cut MORE teachers and load up MORE kids in a class? Cut even more funding for buying textbooks and technology? OR, are you just busying building one of Patron's soapboxes? Since you have a hard time following, I posted this in two threads for you. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

The problems do start long before kindergarden. Most parents don't teach their kid's anything at home. Children get to school with having been taught their own name or adress, how to count to ten, or how to sit down and shut up. My wife works in an elementary school so I hear about the little idiots all the time. I know I couldn't put up with them. The parents are even worse. I do not blame the whole problem on the teachers, they are handicapped from the start. That doesn't excuse them totally either. -- I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

To want to kill my neighbours?
(14 Posts)I've had on going with my basically inconsiderate neighbours so was pleased when last weekend they decided to start tidying up their garden for the first time in 3 years. So I was less than impressed when I next looked out and saw not only had they ripped out everything (including my rose on my side of the fence) but pulled all the crap up against our fence so it is now leaning. I bit my tongue as DP said I should just be grateful they finally made an effort and the rose may have been a mistake.
So I wake up this morning after having been away for a few days and getting home in the dark that they have now done the same in the front garden and destroyed the lovely lilacs I had growing down the boundary. They weren't big enough to block their light, but did block our view which is now directly into a nieghbours house across the road. Not only where they lovely but they used to be fill of birds, and today we've almost no birds in the garden.
I've had a crap week so I may be over reacting, DP thinks I am, but the liliacs where on both sides of the fence and they have cut them all down to about 2ft high. I'm fed up of these neighbours they make constant noise, do DIY after midnight, have blazing rows laugh in your face when you do go and complain. I just want to go round and beat them with the now dying branches - some of which have been dumped in our front garden.
Argh! Sorry rant over, as you were
I'll come over and help you beat them up.
What rude people
How rude. I had inconsiderate neighbours too, they were frightfully middle class and were all "oh how awful" if we complained about anything but they were forever leaving bin bags everywhere, letting them fall into our garden and dropping litter.
bastards.... that's all i can say really
Can you offer to plant a nice dividing border or similar? Take charge of the garden, I know you shouldn't have to but if it is a case of a dredful garden or a great garden, but you do the work, I think I would choose the latter.
Very annoying though.
I hear you. Would volunteer to come round and beat em up with branches with you but I fear we might get into trouble! Feck em instead and hope the karma police get em.
Feeling your pain I have inconsiderate neighbours as well
have a
Thanks all - good to know its not just me being OTT.
I suspect beating them with the branches would get me in trouble especially if a mums net lynch mob turned up and helped - although it's a very comforting thought :-)
I'm going to try speaking to them, thankfully I have been growing some holly bushes in pots for a few years now and I may plant those out. I'm not holding out much hope for getting any joy from them, but hopefully if I explain these are my bushes and if they touch them I will then contact the housing association about them, maybe they will then leave them alone.
Apologies for the awful spelling and odd words in my first post, must read back rants when posted on anything with predictive text
Ooh a nice just what the doctor ordered
Anything they dump in your garden, chuck back.
yes but don't say 'don't touch my bush' as it could be misconstrued
Ah, sarah I would say "don't touch my bush" but then I LOVE confusing or worrying people like that!!!
Right with you OP...rotten situation.
Arguably, anything they've done on your side of the fence is criminal damage.

Reports: Black Friday, Cyber Monday attract international crowds
Don't count Cyber Monday out just yet. New numbers are out from comScore showing Cyber Monday still has a definite hold on US shoppers. According to their data $1.46 billion was spent online November 26 (Cyber Monday) - nearly half a billion more than was spent on Black Friday.
"Despite some news reports suggesting that Cyber Monday might be declining in importance, the day has once again set an online spending record at nearly $1.5 billion," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni. "However, it is also clear that the holiday promotional period has begun even earlier this year, with strong online sales occurring on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. Now, we shall see the extent to which continuing and attractive retailer promotions are able to boost sales for the remainder of the week."
The biggest sellers included digital content/subscriptions, consumer electronics and computer hardware.
Meanwhile, eXelate suggests the bigger change is that shoppers are moving to mobile more quickly than in year's past. Black Friday in the US has been a traditional brick-and-mortar shopping day, but this year mobile more than half (52%) of iPhone users and 11% of Android users shopping online Black Friday.
"The tradition of Football on Thanksgiving Day might be replaced by couch-potato shopping if retailers continue promote holiday shopping earlier," said Mark S. Zagorski, CEO of eXelate. "Today's advanced e-commerce technology enables multitasking and multiscreen consumers to benefit from the best of both worlds - watching the National Football League games on the big screen while simultaneously shopping for advertised products on their digital devices. We believe that 2013 will see an even greater shift toward mobile shopping and that all five days spanning Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday will even out as the notion of the Black Weekend becomes a reality."
And the trend to shop isn't just an American one, according to FiftyOne global shoppers turned out in droves between the US Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping days. Colombian shoppers spent eleven times more than average over the weekend; the average transaction was $337 at luxury department stores.
"More global consumers than ever before logged on to shop U.S. retailers this past Black Friday through Cyber Monday shopping weekend, and for the first time, FiftyOne saw a majority of its merchants actively market to and engage their international audience," said Michael DeSimone, CEO, FiftyOne. "The international opportunity is immense, and FiftyOne partners with American retailers to extend their ecommerce operations, build brand awareness, and grow sales in over 100 countries worldwide."
One-quarter (27%) of global shoppers said the completed at least one online transaction over the holiday weekend.

iMac Disk Repair/Rebuild/Restore from Time MachineMy 2007 iMac is giving me fits. It will not come up after reboot. I have used Tech Tool 6 to boot up and after running tools, get a Validation Error in an Allocation File (bitmap).
I am running Mountain Lion but did not have a boot disk for that OS, so I used my Lion OS USB disk to access the disk utility. All efforts to repair failed.
I have a complete Time Machine backup on an external drive, but the restore option does not see it.
Any input would be appreciated

I don't understand why you didn't use the Recovery partition within Mountain Lion to do the repairs? Neither Lion nor Mountain Lion are on disk - and yes, you can create a boot disk for either, but you can also use the Recovery partition. (command + r)
If all efforts to repair the hard drive have failed, it may be time to replace the drive. But before you go that route, try using Disk Utility from the Mountain Lion Recovery partition first. If that also fails, go to iFixit: The free repair manual and look up the step by step instructions for changing out the hard drive. Not an easy task in an iMac.
