New Movies
I noticed that JD recently brought up an interesting question that I too have been curious about. Anyone seen Heath Ledger's new movie? How is the summer movie industry going? Anyone have any suggestions from the past or present? What about "Step Brothers?" Although you have to wonder if "The Dark Knight" is as good as they say......seems I would like to see that more...commentary? Anyone seen it?

Sure... I got the chance to see "21" last night for the first time. I'm assuming that it is based on a true story as I remember seeing some sort of special on all of this a few years ago. Basically it is about a group of MIT students who try to "beat the system" by working together to count cards in blackjack in Las Vegas. I found it to be a very interesting movie overall. It shows a sharp contrast between their lives at school in Boston during the week, and their often extravagant lives in Las Vegas each weekend. It also really brings in question just how much you would be willing to risk, how far you would be willing to go, for the chance at becoming rich. To me, some parts were a bit frustrating to watch, but I would still recommend the movie as a whole.

Gina,
Be sure to let us know whenever you see the movie "Smart People"... that looked fairly interesting.
But don't forget to exercise too! :)

I saw "Smart People" ...... Jennifer Aniston did a good job with her role...nothing to really write home about, but it was interesting.....I wouldn't necessarily "run" to see it if I were you. I am looking forward to 21! You just never can tell with those damn critics!

Yup, just saw "21".....good film....very nice and well put together....I think it does bring up the question you mention JD but also the fact that just about ANYTHING can become an addiction.....too much of anything is not a good thing.....esp. if it involves such things as money, fame or power-
I enjoyed it:) I would recommend it.

Anyone see any new good films lately? I will have to check the daily news from Netflix? Doesn't seem like there are any good ones in the theater- "Twilight" (series by Stephanie Meyers) comes out in December...other than that, I am at a loss for good movies......

Santa moves from the North Pole to the Internet
Happy holidays from the Ning Team! While many people have today off, not all Ning Network members do. For instance: the members of MAPS (Michigan Association of Professional Santas), a Ning Network for Michigan-based Santas and their “counterparts” — elves, Mrs. Clause, etc. Members can take advantage of special offers for members (use of a [...]Waggleforce: Working together to get back to work
A waggle is the dance that an individual honey bee does, as he works for the greater good of the whole colony. Within a group of people working together, if each one does their own “waggle”, then a waggle force has been created. The Waggleforce Ning Network helps members collaborate with each other to create [...]A new way of reaching out for Immaculata University
On Monday, we talked about a trend we’re seeing on Ning; admissions offices creating Ning Networks for their admitted students to connect with each other before arriving on campus. Today we’re posting the second of three interviews we’ve completed with Network Creators of three these Ning Networks. Up today is Derek Luther of Immaculata University. [...]Is there life after New York?
A recent study found that New Yorkers are the unhappiest residents of the U.S., coming in dead last in a study of all 50 states. So what’s a New Yorker to do? For some, there’s a simple answer – leave. But how do you find the strength to leave a city that inspired the quote: [...]Online orientation at Alfred University
Ed note: On Monday, we talked about a trend we’re seeing on Ning; admissions offices creating Ning Networks for their admitted students to connect with each other before arriving on campus.

Today, we’re updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand our privacy practices and how we use data at Ning. Some of the key changes include the addition of a highlights page and simplified language. These changes do not alter the way in which we handle personally identifiable information and many [...]Orientation starts early for incoming college students
Only a half-dozen years ago, incoming college students first saw their classmates in a “facebook,” a collection of headshot photos, which was mailed to incoming students. And they likely didn’t talk to their fellow incoming students until new-student orientation began after they arrived on campus. Times have changed, and Ning is fast becoming an important step [...]Ning Apps for the Holidays
With the holidays upon us, I’d love to suggest a few Ning Apps that can help make the season brighter, more generous and possibly even a little more fun: SocialGiving Help support those that are less fortunate by donating to registered charities around the world. Ustream Stay connected with family, friends and fellow network members via live video streaming. [...]Thisis50: If it’s hot, it’s here
Thisis50 makes a clear statement — if it’s hot, it’s here. Members can purchase 50’s latest album, Before I Self Destruct, and weigh in on their favorite track with a poll on the Main Page. It’s also the place to watch music videos, like the official “Do You Think About Me” video, which features 50’s [...]It’s a Twilight Saga kind of year
There isn’t much more to say about Twilight at this point. If you haven’t read the books, caught a showing of the movie, stopped by the Twilight Saga Ning Network or chosen a side (Team Edward or Team Jacob), then you probably have found some secret lair that’s immune from the influence and effects of [...]© 2009 Created by G on Ning.
