Team Ratings
S. Sirigu
Very rash to hack down Alexis Sanchez inside the area late on to concede a penalty and nearly throw away the tie for his side. But thankfully for him, Blaise Matuidi was able to spare his blushes.
C. Jallet
Was a bit risky with a few of his challenges as he went in rather enthusiastically, but the defender still stuck to his task and fought hard to solidify his side of the field.
Thiago Silva
The Brazilian's stellar defending was a big reason that Lionel Messi was subdued for the vast majority of the first half. He never put a foot wrong, and read the game superbly throughout. After a performance like this, Barca must be ruing the day that they let his transfer slip from their grasps.
The Brazilian was rather overshadowed by his exemplary compatriot Thiago Silva, but still went about his business professionally at the back, and acquitted himself well.
The fullback rolled back the years with an energetic display in both halves of the field. Shut down the considerable threat of David Villa, and provided plenty of great moments pushing deep up the left flank to support his team's offensive efforts.
Ran down one too many blind alleys and could not channel his considerable pace into the counterattacking weapon that his team really could have used.
B. Matuidi
The midfielder won the ball back more than once to spark his side forward on the break, but his greatest contribution was to come right at the end, as he steered home a potentially priceless equalizer.
J. Pastore
After an encouraging performance during the first half, the playmaker began to play within himself somewhat after the break, and seemed a tad reluctant to take risks with the ball.
D. Beckham
Never ran around much, but the veteran Englishman was still a picture of cool in the center of the park, picking his passes well, and providing a decent threat from set pieces.
E. Lavezzi
His ability to win free kicks was a key part of PSG's first-half display. The Argentine nearly broke the deadlock in the opening five minutes with a shot from inside the box that hit the post. But he was markedly anonymous during the second half.
Z. Ibrahimovic
The big Swede was a very important outlet for his side to relieve the pressure, as his strength and vision enabled PSG to turn defense into attack quickly. Bundled home an admittedly offside equalizer in the 79th minute, before setting up another leveler for his side with a towering header.
Víctor Valdés
Some excellent saves in the first half kept his side in the game during a series of dangerous PSG attacks. Despite a gaffe for their equalizer at the death, the keeper can still take plenty of positives from this display.
Dani Alves
The Brazilian fullback is known for racking up the assists, but his feed for Lionel Messi's opener must surely take its place right at the top of his catalogue. He connected with the outside of his boot perfectly, and bent a beautiful pass right into the path of the Argentine.
Looked suspect for a large portion of the first half defending against the pace and movement of the Ligue 1 side on the counter attack. One or two narrow offside calls saved his shoddy positioning from being fully exposed.
Jordi Alba
A little subdued in the first half, as he did not always find the space to stretch his legs and overlap down the left flank in his usual manner. Assumed more offensive positions in the second half, and was a more effective cog in attack.
The diminutive attacking midfielder drifted in and around the front three, always making himself available for support or quick passing triangles. He made sure that Barca kept the ball well in the opposition half, and kept the opposition pinned back.
As ever, the midfielder was at the heart of another dominant display of possession from the Catalan outfit. He was not always able to be as incisive with his passing as he would have liked, but his accuracy and ability to keep play flowing was vital for his team. Kept his cool to bury a late penalty that made it 2-1.
J. Mascherano
The Argentine was more assured than his defensive partner Gerard Pique, as his superior anticipation and mobility allowed him to make a few important challenges inside and around his own penalty area.
At times, he was slow to get back and protect his defense as PSG found a fair bit of joy moving forward on the break. He would have perhaps been better served sitting a little deeper to be better positioned to thwart the counterattack.
A. Sánchez
The Chilean was largely underwhelming, with a poor piece of control to waste a glorious opening a particularly troubling moment. But to his credit, he never stopped trying, and was able to win the penalty that gave his side a brief lead.
David Villa
A rather frustrating outing for the forward, who was never really able to get into full flow and was mostly quiet throughout the game. Subbed in the second half.
L. Messi
The Argentine in truth was rather ineffective for most his time on the pitch, which did not last beyond the interval as a hamstring injury signaled an early end to his evening. But despite all that, he still managed to leave his fingerprints all over proceedings with a clinical finish from an angle that put his side into the lead.
Came on as a late replacement for Mascherano and may be forced to play a bigger role in the second leg with the Argentine suspended for card accumulation.
Found the pickings to be rather slim after replacing Lionel Messi in the front three, as he never found himself with any great shooting opportunities.
Came on in the 81st minute for Villa but did not factor into much.

Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio (by kirstendirksen)
Crazily this woman seems like she has a pretty good life in her tiny space. Applaud her savings :)
Still her rent is 700$ which is pretty hilarious - I mean New York prices vs. rest of world. Wow. (3600$ for a normal apt, she claims)
In 1970, the average size of a new home was about 1,500 square feet. Today, it's about 2,521 square feet, which is 68 percent larger. There are fewer people living in the average home, too, so each person has more space. In 1970, each resident of a home occupied 478 square feet, on average. Today, each person occupies 996 square feet. Many kids get their own bedrooms, some kitchens rival those in restaurants, and 90 percent of new homes have a garage.
Why You Might Be Better Off Than You Think - Yahoo! News
It's interesting to me how people are spreading out….
the fireplace — long considered a trophy, particularly in a city like New York — is acquiring a social stigma. Among those who aspire to be environmentally responsible, it is joining the ranks of bottled water and big houses. "The smoke from a fire smells very nice," said Diane Bailey, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council in San Francisco. "But it can cause a lot of harm." The tiny particles, she said, "can cause inflammation and illness, and can cross into the bloodstream, triggering heart attacks" as well as worsening other conditions.
The Love Affair With the Fireplace Cools - NYTimes.com
Ha, yeah, I'm with this article. I love fireplaces…but they are sort of a rare luxury that should be used not so frequently…Sort of junk food for the lungs…it smells good, but it ain't so good…
1,000 people live in the flooded labyrinth of tunnels below Las Vegas. Many of them have carved out incredibly home-like spaces for themselves, despite the water which covers most of the tunnel floors.
This handy mnemonic — color, cut, clarity and carat — was developed in the 1940s by the Gemological Institute of America, still the world's premier diamond-grading company. Lore holds that every diamond is unique and a work of nature's art. But this idea was intimidating to American customers who wanted a firm readout of a diamond's worth before buying it. De Beers therefore loved the Four Cs, and the company sent speakers on a promotional tour to explain these standards as if they had been observed for centuries. But when it comes to the most popular kind of diamond — the round, brilliant-cut stone that is a staple of engagement solitaires — a key factor embedded in the cut rating is likely to have a big impact on value. The "depth percentage," the relationship between the stone's top and the angle of its slanted sides, can make a diamond's glitter a little more spectacular thanks to the physics of light. The sweet spot? A ratio of 58 to 60 percent. Too many buyers of stones of less than two carats get hung up on minor gradients of color and clarity, which are invisible to the naked eye and meaningful only at the cash register. For those who don't plan to routinely ogle their stone under a microscope, an easier formulation would be the Two S's: size and sparkle. The resale value of a diamond drops between 30 and 50 percent the moment you walk out of the store with it (a sixth myth is that they are good investments; they aren't) so you might as well enjoy its illusory light while you can.
This kind of kind of hilarious - a good thing to think of when buying a diamond…just look for size and sparkle…
The article also has some interesting history about how diamond companies are all holding back on supply. In my opinion new supply coming onto the market is one reason why diamond prices have been flat and diamonds are a horrible investment - yeah…. it's all marketing… but it's marketing that has worked…

Diamonds Aren't an Investor's Best Friend - WSJ.com
"Diamonds are a marketing gimmick as much as anything else. Most men feel they have to give a diamond ring when they propose—even though, as anyone knows after a moment's thought, the only woman worth buying a ring for is the one who doesn't care how much you spent on her ring.
The biggest winner in the diamond game is the Oppenheimer family, which runs De Beers, the Standard Oil of the diamond world.
Nicholas Oppenheimer, the billionaire in charge of the company, admitted this week that most of the sales growth in the U.S. over the past decade has been the result of clever marketing campaigns.
There's no logical reason why you should have to cut a check to Mr. Oppenheimer's family, or even to their competitors, in order to ask your girlfriend to marry you on Sunday. But you probably will anyway. Most of us do. Marketing is a powerful thing.
Russell Shor, senior industry analyst at the Gemological Institute of America, has some advice. Pear-shaped diamonds can often seem bigger than round ones of the same number of carats, he says. And small differences in clarity are often less visible to the naked eye than differences in color."
As this graph shows, diamonds have been a terrible investment over the past 30 years. You might think that a diamond ring would rise in value over time, but no… it's just money sitting there that could otherwise be used for something else. It's one of the great cons that everyone should buy one - if I was a girl, I'd tell my guy not to spend a lot - I'd feel stupid with some expensive rock that never rises in value…
Having said that … of course it's possible diamonds may rise in the future… I can only infer that diamonds are plentiful enough that we haven't reached any sort of shortage yet - this is in stark contrast to gold which is marketed as a substitute for money and whose value has skyrocketed…
BBC News - Why eco-light bulbs aren't what they seem
"Currently, exaggerated claims are often made on the packaging about the light output of compact fluorescent lamps - for example that an 11-12-watt compact fluorescent lamp would be the equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent, which is not true."What wattage will be as bright?
The Lighting Industry Federation says the claims on the packaging are the nearest equivalent to the wattage of a soft white light bulb.
Liz Peck, of the Society of Light and Lighting, says this is because CFLs have a phosphor coating. "They compare like for like, but the trouble is people tend to use the clear bulbs at home and it's not equivalent to those."
The European Commission's advice is to divide the wattage of a traditional light bulb by four to get the equivalent brightness. So, to get the brightness of a traditional 60-watt bulb, choose a 15-watt CFL bulb.FIND OUT MOREMore or Less is on BBC Radio 4 on Friday 11 December at 1330 GMT, and repeated Sunday 2000 GMTOr catch up on the iPlayer
Copenhagen Summit 2009
But the Lighting Research Center in the United States goes further.
"We believe in the divide by three rule," says associate director Russell Leslie, who recommends a 20-watt CFL to match a 60-watt incandescent bulb. "The equivalent ratings you see on the box are usually got by testing in a laboratory environment."
At home, brightness varies as conditions change. "A compact fluorescent light is designed to provide maximum light output at 25C, and when it gets hotter or colder than that, its brightness can be reduced.
"If your bulb is in a recessed fixture in the ceiling, and it gets warm, you might see a 10-20% reduction in its light output."
And studies show CFL bulbs can get 20% dimmer over time.
Also talks about how you might have to spend more heating your house if you use CFLs because they produce less heat - because they're more efficient.

How can you get from Tucomen Int'l to the bus station at Albrook. Is there a shuttle or express bus?? We're arriving early afternoon and want to head towardes David the same day. Thanks
How can you get from Tucomen Int'l to the bus station at Albrook. Is there a shuttle or express bus?? We're arriving early afternoon and want to head towardes David the same day. Thanks
Take a taxi, should be about $25. Then hop on a bus at Albrook to David, I think it's $12.50 for the bus. If you know where you are staying, you can ask the bus driver helper to drop you off near it, or wait until you get to the bus station and take another taxi or bus to your hotel. It will be a long day. If there is a hotel somewhere along the way that you would like to stop at, just tell the helper. All the buses have someone to make change and help people on and off the bus.
Hi Becky.. hope you received my post from your other response.
I was hoping to find a shuttle or express bus between the airports. Yes, that may be a longer day than I want. I have never been to Panama but it looks like Santiago might be a decent "layover" spot. Any suggestions? We are not looking for "resorts" but more "typico" lodging. I have spent considerable time in Mexico, Honduras, and Costa Rica. Also spent 11 years in SE Asia, mostly Philippines. I enjoy getting on a bus.. and just getting off somewhere that looks interesting. My email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't remember seeing any buses at the airport. You may have to walk to the main road to catch one. It's not that far to the main road....you could do it. We always rented a car when we came to visit, so I don't know for sure.
If it was late when we got in, we just stayed at the Riande. It's about a mile from the airport. You never know what kind of room you will get there, good, bad, or ugly.
If it was earlier, we always stayed at Hector's Bay View hotel at El Palmar Beach, in San Carlos. This is definitely not first class accommodations, but we enjoyed the ocean and the people were friendly. He even let us stay there with our 2 dogs that moved here with us. We weren't very adventurous, when we found someplace acceptable, we stayed with it.
If you are taking the bus I would probably suggest you stay either in Panama City overnight or get all the way to Santiago. Stopping in the middle, such as San Carlos, will mean you have to catch a bus off the highway there and then you are stuck with whatever happens to not be totally full. You might wind up stuck on a short bus (no pun intended) or spend an hour or two waiting. It happened to me going from El Valle to the Azuero. I literally had to wait 1.5 hrs to wind up scrunched on a short bus.
You haven't really "roughed it" until you've done the Bolivian Altiplano in the back of a 5 ton stake truck loaded with locals, chickens,goats& assorted livestock !! lol Definitely makes jaws drop around the dinner table at the Marriott.
If you get the chance try fresh criadilla on the barby. Yummy Rattlesnake is good too but you have to handle veeeeery carefully !! lol If it runs, flies, swims or slithers I've probably tried it at least once. Prefer to kill & cook what I eat that way I know for sure where it came from. Fresh grubs are great; 10,000,000 skunks can't be wrong. lol
Honestly the bus system here in Panama is pretty decent. Sometimes people have a pet bird or live chicken in a box but no big deal. Many expats with cars that live in the interior do take the bus into the city just because driving is a pain in the butt. Somebody here in Las Tablas just purchased 3 brand new large comfy buses because everybody was going to Chitre and catching a bus from there. As far as eating weird stuff, no thanks.
There are some busses that stop near the airport....but not exactly at the airport, you need to walk to the main road. And then try to cath a Corredor Sur that goes directly to the busterminal. It is though very dificult to get a corredor sur bus because they are almost always full, and they're not allowed to take more people with them than the ones that can sit down (no passengers may stand in a corredor sur like in a red devil) There are also buses that go to the terminal with a lot of stops: every bus wich bus"helper" screams Terminal directoooooo is going to the terminal, but it will take at least one hour, Corredor Sur takes about 20 minutes.
Todo esto es vida, vivela!
Most any bus will be running to Albrook Terminal from the airport. You could skip the taxi fare.
hi does anyone know how i would go about getting from albrook to Tucomen on the bus??
Never seen a bus running from Albrook to Tocumen.
Do you want a bus that goes straight to Tocumen airport, or just the Tocumen area? I've never seen a bus that goes straight to the airport...most of the passengers at Albrook don't have a need to go to the airport. I'm sure there are plenty of buses that go out towards the airport. You will just have to get off the bus at the closest stop to the airport.
Buses don't go to directly to the terminal at Tocumen Airport.
They stop in front of the airport on Via Tocumen (which is probably a 7-8minutes walk with suitcases).
yes, Diablo rojo but I doubt there's a direct one from Tocumen to Albrook (I'm pretty sure there isn't) so you would have to transfer several times (at least one...probably at La Grand Estacion in San Miguelito....with luggage...not a good idea imo)
I don't recommend this option...just saying it exists
there is a "corredor tocumen" going thru the corredor sur, but im not sure if it gets close to the airport.... These buses leave from the small foodcourt at the terminal...(at the foodcourt ask for buses "corredor tocumen" and they will tell you where exactly they leave) It costs one dollar
Todo esto es vida, vivela!
Spend the money, save the headache, take a taxi when transferring from either airport.
There is no way in the world I would want to be dropped on the side of the road "close" to the Tocumen airport with multiple suitcases in the daytime, let alone at night. You might as well just give your stuff away at the Albrook terminal and save yourself the trouble of being robbed after you are dropped on the side of the road in Tocumen.
Hi all,
We have a flight from Tocumen back to Toronto at 8:45pm on Sunday.
I'm coming from Bocas and planning to book a flight to Albrook at 5:45pm.
Do I have enough time to get from Albrook to Tocumen and check-in (I'll take a taxi)?
Thank you
we actually have a suitcase to checkin. Hope it's not going to be a big deal.
There is another flight early morning at 8am. Just want to use last few hours to snorkel instead of sitting in the city
The Riande Aeropeurto hotel is a ripoff - if you walk in, they will say "we are full, but let me see what we can do". Then they come back with an outrageous rate (2-3x what you would expect). Just stay downtown.
I would like to see a nice shuttle bus to/from Allbrook and Tocumen.

This was a good, sometimes riveting, movie, in spite of the outlandish notion that a private security firm is about to take over Homeland Security, the U.S. Military, and all of our intelligence agencies as its central plot device. At least we at last have a political thriller where the bad guys don't work for the CIA. Even more remarkable was that the crusading but corrupt congressman and the smarmy senator were both Democrats. (Although party affiliations were never directly mentioned, it was revealed that Jeff Daniels' Senator Fergus was the Senate majority leader at a time when both houses of the Congress were controlled by Democrats). A.O. Scott mourns the passing of "real" journalism, and makes the risible suggestion that for the truly important stories we must have them on a "smudgy, crumply page." The idea that the truth can still only be found in a newspaper story is refuted every day by the very paper Scott works for: the "beloved" New York Times, which long ago abandoned it search for truth in its pursuit of ideology.

Potentially a good thriller, but with so many missed opportunities, story angles that were suashed or muddled, it simply leads to a final sense of "who cares?"
Never came close to the forbidding sense of danger in everyday locations in DC that All the President's Men achieved.
A mystery to me as to why this film was made in the first place
It seems like someone's tax write-off

Having rented the movie on pay per view I feel I got fair value. Liked the Crowe - McAdams chemistry, Affleck reminded me of a local congressman, the constant helicopter noise took me back to Conspiracy Theory, don't see how the salary revelation at the end carried so much weight or how Mr. Congressman's explanations were foreshadowed or provided motive for the murders - was it the word "unstable"?? However, I did keep wondering how the print medium would ever survive against the web - delay the printing at $20,000 per hour, require the services of a squad of life long reporters who will soon be pensioners, pay for the skilled labor of union printers and teamsters? Maybe it's because I was also in the newspaper business thirty years ago, but the subplot of print vs. web was more compelling to me than the corporate conspiracy or congressional perfidy.

As far as political thrillers go, State of Play satisfies. There are some holes, especially with the twist at the end, but it is engaging and and more interesting than the typical thriller. Additionally, the director and the cinematographer evokes good, realistic DC atmosphere. The film, unfortunately, was trying to be too smart for its own good. There, at the end, it failed the believability test. Jason Bateman is excellent as the corporate promoter/pimp - all DC business and just right in his fearfulness/vulnerability for his safety. Ben Affleck is really good as the upstanding Congressman who falls while trying to protect his image and take on corporate military interests. The convoluted plot, in the end, dooms Affleck's performance from fully making sense.

The problem with the ending is it inadvertently lets PointCorp off the hook, thus deflating the dramatic tension. Not Scott's "train wreck" but a feeling that the big one got away.
The acting, writing, and filmmaking make the movie still worth seeing despite the final plot twist, which is credible but less meaningful than it might have been.

There's two points about this movie that I'd like to make. (And I'll keep my story analysis suitably nebulous so as not to provide spoilers for those that haven't seen the movie as yet.) (If you're a fraidy-cat then don't read this.)
Firstly, although I think to the general public it was relatively intricately plotted and intriguing in parts, to a buffoon like me, who is generally totally clueless in thrillers, I thought the eventual villain was so bleedingly obvious from the first scene they appeared, that the whole intricately plotted movie became an exercise for me in simply observing how they joined the dots together that would lead me back to what I already knew.
And why I knew was because the eventual villain would be the very FIRST person in real life that the police would suspect. It happens in real life all the time, 99.9999% of the time, so why is it here that no-one (NO-ONE) acts as they would in real life and suspect this person immediately before any other murky red herring motives are presented? If you let that slide, then sure, you may get sucked in. If you have your real-life thinking cap on, even a dope like me would guess it.
My second point is that it seemed to me (and I wouldn't mind betting on it) that Russell Crowe's hubris at some point demanded that he as the hero, he as the star, had to make all the connections at the end whereby I would BET that in the original draft, Rachel McAdams makes a crucial contribution, makes the connection, puts two and two together (earns her chops) and reveals to Crowe who the villain is, compromising him in his final confrontation and completing her character arc nicely.
But no, here McAdams' whole character and development is tossed away like a no brain bimbo right at the end as Crowe has to take all the prime pickings where she clearly (CLEARLY) must have had a crucial part to share. This sharing appeared to be scrapped because Crowe did not want to share.
Oh that's right, he let her hit "send" at the end. Thanks for that scrap of generosity after vacuuming up everything else there was to take.
Just a theory. :) (Sorry Rusty!)

I agree with many other readers who found Scott's review overly snarky, and biased by his prior viewing of the BBC series. I agree that some elements of the plot were quite far-fetched (for example, the role played by two homeless drug addicts), and Affleck's acting was (as usual) irritatingly bad. But the center of the film is the collaboration between the characters played by Crowe and McAdams, who do an inspired and inspiring job at portraying the value of investigative journalism -- the real hero of this film. I think Crowe (especially) gives a fantastic performance -- one that stands up well against those given by Hoffman and Redford. Was Scott too caught up with the "louche" performance given by Bateman (which admittedly is pretty hilarious) to notice the obvious sexual tension between Crowe and McAdams? Scott is wrong to give a "go in peace" thumbs-up to the absurd "Angels and Demons," which is a mindless and sensational Hollywood blockbuster, but a thumbs-down to this movie, which for all its faults contains some fine acting and a storyline that is intelligent and worth pondering.

An above-average political/newspaper thriller, worth seeing if only for Bateman (in a small, but awesome role) and Crowe. I agree with Scott that the last act goes too far and seems almost tacked-on, but that should not keep you from enjoying the rest of the movie.
— JRBozek, NYC

This was a fascinating film, brilliantly plotted, acted and directed. Scott's review is a sneering and gratuitous trashing that belongs in a newsroom trash can.

This movie sucks you in from the first frame and never lets go. The twists and turns are nothing short of delicious and make for great screen viewing. Russell Crowe is (as ever) magnificent in his role of the smart and sly newspaper man. Rachel McAdams made her role come to life and was not just a pretty young face. Affleck actually acted! I enjoyed the film and was entranced to the very end.

Having seen the 5* bbc production of the same name, this doesn't even come close. The weaving of a plot in a six part mini-series clearly surpasses this 2 hour summary. There is no development or history of the relationship of the 2 main characters. There is an intense scene in the hospital that is watered down to 30 seconds leaving no time for the development of the intensity that this scene really has. A 2 hour movie just cannot do justice to a 6 part supurb mini series. The movie really was kind of ho-hum. My advice? Rent the BBC production and be prepared to stay up all night.

Not since Woodward and Berstein has newspaper reporting been elevated to such noble heights. That aside, this was an interesting movie.
Russell Crowe is a reporter investigating what may or may not have happened involving his old college roommate, now congressman, played (somewhat stiffly) by Ben Affleck. Without giving too much away, layers of truth are peeled away, making for an engaging story. Cliches aside...entertaining.

The plot was tight and believable. The acting was excellent. Russell Crowe was at his best. The movie made me sad as I see newspapers going out of business. A 'blog' could not have done what the reporter did. Where will we get the real story, after the newspapers go?
— jo an, honolulu
April 26th, 200912:17 pm
The actors were good, but what disappointed me was how superficial (or dumbed down) the issue of responsible journalism is presented in the movie, if in passing. The main conflict is printed news versus on-line material, but not even in the form of a newspaper, such as here, with our beloved New York Times, but diluted further, with Blogs! The movie is perfect then for people who love their daily five-minute dose of reading the news headlines on Yahoo! and think they keep up with current affairs and know each story in depth, as avid readers of headlines.
The mini-series, on the other hand, is an extensive study of the hard work that good reporters undertake to get the story to the printing press. Even if technology has changed, I don't believe people have changed so drastically as to stoop to the level of reading a blog. I read blogs as opinionated posts, with room to comment, like an open-editorial, but the real articles with in-depth analysis of facts will never die, no matter how technology changes the character of a paper.

State of Play wasn't a good film. They all tried to make it look good but they failed. The final twist was totally unnecesary and didn't add much to the story. Once you analyse the plot, you find too many holes and incoherent bits. The thing is that the film goes too fast and when you're finally digesting a scene, there has been another twist and you have a sense of being confused.
Liked the acting, specially Crowe and McAdams. Mirren was good but in the usual Helen-Mirren-type of character: a bunch of bad words, sexiness and attitude. I don't understand the praise for Jason Bateman who only had a few lines and looked like Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men. Ben Affleck was bad as usual, no doubt about it. He always brings the wrong notes to his performances.
State of Play is a decent experiment but don't expect too much as I did. You will seat there looking at the credits feeling that you were somehow robbed if you do.

It's a worthwhile movie for it does a very good job of explaining complex and important issues that should be dear to the hearts of all Americans. Somewhat feels formulaic, yet has many other redeeming qualities.
Eminently watchable, not killing it with a faint praise. It's very well directed and screenplay is pretty darn good, too.

lets start off this movie was designed perfectly to fit Ben Affleck, i mean he embodies what a young up and coming politician would be. the suspense was awesome, and even russell crowe played his part as a good journalist. and the ending i mean it all went together and was unexpected at the same time. a really good movie to relate to in the current times. Loved the plot!

Many thanks to all involved for bringing this stunner out in April, rather than waiting for the over-crowded Oscar season. I hope the Academy doesn't overlook it. For movie addicts like my husband and me, this was a mainline dose of suspenseful script, superb acting, wonderful direction and to-die-for everything else involved in making a film. It was also a brilliant tribute to our struggling newspaper industry and what it gives us. Don't miss State of Play.

April 21st, 20096:01 pm
This is an extremely enjoyable thriller which treats its audience as adults. The NYT review commented on the excellence of the movie but noted a level of dissatisfaction with the ending. I won't disclose the ending but it was plausible ...yes, one left the theater with questions given there was not clarity and there were "loose ends." One can speculate that the writers and director took some liberties in order to keep the movie at about 2 hrs in length (remember this was a 5 or 6 part BBC mini-series so one can appreciate the challenge the writers had).
Nevertheless, the movie was excellent and the cast, without exception, was outstanding. Rachel McAdams was very good which, in many respects, is a compliment to Russell Crowe. He gave her alot of room and never over- whelmed her. Helen Mirren was terrific as well but the role did not have alot of breadth. Ben Affleck was very good and Jason Bateman was tremendous as a caricature of a P.R. guy.
In life, as one ends an undertaking, all the "loose ends" are not always tied up in a neat little bow. Further, there are always threads, in this case sub-plots, that can and are interpreted differently by different people.
Go see it. It will be time well spent and you will enjoy discussing it with your friends.

Basket auction to benefit parochial school in Chatfield
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Monday, April 29, 2013 9:42 AM
St. Paul Lutheran School students Olivia Reps, Ethan Ruskell and Ana Ruskell show off some of the auction baskets that will be sold during the school's annual auction, this year slated for Sunday, May 19.
Area residents will have a chance to check out the big red barn, the potholders, cookies, shampoo and other baskets of goodies during the upcoming St. Paul Lutheran School's basket auction on Sunday, May 19.
The parochial school is marking its fifth year of operation, and the school family is hosting a basket auction once more on Sunday, May 19, to ensure that a sixth year of proud Christian operation is possible.
"This year's basket auction has lots of donations from local businesses, such as Dave's Barbershop, Kappers' Big Red Barn, Shear Hair Design and more," said St. Paul Lutheran School preschool teacher Shawn Reps. "We appreciate all the local support - and we also get baskets from individuals. So far, we have a cookie basket, a hair product basket, a homemade canned goods basket, one with 'Hello Kitty,' one filled with potholders and kitchen towels and one from Kappers' that has dairy products in it."
Local auctioneer Paul Gathje is donating his services to the school once again as the baskets are sold to the highest bidders who wish the pre-K through eighth grade school and its students well.
Reps related, "We raised $11,000 last year for our general operating expenses for the school. That covers books, curriculum, school supplies, salaries and more."
St. Paul Lutheran was established in order to support Christian parents in their God-given vocation of raising their children in the Christian faith. "We are committed to educating children in the faith as it is taught in the scriptures and as it is confessed in the historic confessions of the Lutheran church," Reps explained. "Because of this, we desire to train faithful, discerning and responsible students."
The school had its first graduation this past spring and five kids graduated from the school.
"Obviously, they and the other students have the chance to learn about Jesus in every subject, and that's great...being able to talk about Jesus," Reps said. "It's a small school with a small student-to-staff ratio, and it functions more like a family, because almost all the older kids help the younger kids at times."
Its staff is comprised of principal and head teacher Rhonda Dedor, teacher Sharon Meyer, Reps, music teacher Sarah Paul, administrative assistant Barbara Pentico and the Rev. Preston Paul.
Throughout the year, students enjoy one-room schoolhouse learning, visitors such as IBMers who bring Engineering Week projects to challenge their mechanical skills and Commonweal Theatre actors who share their dramatic talents with the students. They also go on field trips to the local care center to sing Christmas carols to residents.
The auction, which also features a hot dog and barbecue lunch with chips and root beer floats, shows the generosity of St. Paul Lutheran Church's parishioners and of the community.
"I think it's just the spirit that people have. They come to have fun and raise money for the school," Reps added. "It's just a real fun event. It's the spirit of giving. It's definitely contagious once people are there and bidding on baskets and other items."
Reps observed that the school is still accepting baskets for the auction, right up until a few days before. "We always need more baskets. Kids' items always go great. Unusual things interest people, and people always love chocolate. But we'd definitely like people to come and have a good time."
St. Paul Lutheran School's basket auction is slated for Sunday, May 19, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Chatfield, 128 Fillmore St. SE.
The auction's item preview begins at 11:30 a.m., lunch starts at 11:45 a.m. and the auction itself, at 12:30 p.m.
For more information, contact St. Paul Lutheran School at (507) 867-3038.

Hopefully Today Means Something to You
I'm hoping that today means something to you. More than just a day off from work. More than an annoyance that the Post Office is closed. More than just any other Monday if, like me, government holidays mean little to your schedule of events. I'm hoping that you stopped and thought about Martin Luther King, Jr's dream, if only for a few moments. As a birth mother to a biracial daughter in a fully open adoption, I do more than think about his dream for just a few moments today. I'm forced to consider the realities of that dream every time someone new enters my home and looks at our sprawling picture wall. When I'm asked, "Who is this," as they point to a picture of… [more]
Racism, Adoption and Birth Parents
Just yesterday, I wrote about how the topics of racism and adoption have affected me as a birth mother and an everyday mother. It was the first time I had shared a personal, hurtful story about how I had previously been accused of being a racist for placing my daughter for adoption. Now that I've broken the dam, apparently the words want to keep flowing. And I'm left wondering if other non-racist birth mothers who have placed a child of a different race have dealt with this particular issue. If there's one thing I've learned by writing and reading about adoption, it's that we're never alone in our experiences though things may differ from situation to situation and personality to personality. Issues of race remain… [more]

Thrifting In and Around Town
By Tony Turner 10/21/10
When was the last time you set foot into a thrift shop or consignment shop? If you haven't been recently you might be surprised at how thrift shopping has changed. "Thrifting" is a fun, exciting, and economical shopping pastime that is sweeping the nation!
Take a look at any home decorating magazine or coffee table book and you will find decorators, designers, and homeowners jazzing up their nests with refurbished, second hand finds from tag sales, flea markets, and thrift shops. Gently used home goods are finding fresh new life in fabulous new ways. Furniture, rugs, lamps, glassware, bric-a-brac, linens, and seasonal goods are in abundance at today's thrift shops and consignment shops, all at deeply discounted prices. Suffice it to say, thrifting is a great way to stretch a dollar.
But it's not just housewares that smart thrifters are searching for. Most shops also carry a nice selection of clothing for the entire family, kid's goods, toys, books, sports equipment, collectibles, antiques, and more.
Shopping at thrift stores may be the closest thing you'll ever have to a real life treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find when you walk into a second hand shop – that's part of the thrill of the hunt! As cliché as it might sound "one man's trash is truly another man's treasure!"
10 Easy Tips For Shopping Thrift and Consignment Shops:
1. Don't be afraid of used. Just because something has been previously owned or used by someone else should not be a deterrent. Remember that you are saving a lot of money!
2. Look for seasonal items, holiday collectibles, and decorations "off-season" (You can often find great deals and better selection of Christmas ornaments in June for example.)
3. Be friendly and courteous to the staff. They will quickly remember you and what you might be looking for, often holding back prime items for you when you come in again to shop.
4. Take cash. Some stores are more willing to haggle or give discounts to shopper's with cold hard cash.
5. Don't go with children. You may want to spend hours browsing aisles of shelves or racks of clothing and this is no fun for kids – especially very little ones.
6. Shop with a friend. Split up the store with you taking one half and her the other. You can cover more ground and bounce ideas off each other, plus make a fun afternoon of it!
7. Shop on sale days. Some thrift stores offer special prices on different days or different times of the month. Most discounts are posted at the front of the stores, or even on their web sites. Sign up for e-mail lists so you can be made aware of special sales.
8. Be open-minded and think outside the box. Wise thrifters are always thinking of new ways to repurpose old castoffs. Often times all is needed to make something "new" again is a needle and thread or an inexpensive can of spray paint.
9. Shop often. Good shops' inventory turns very quickly and you will always find many new items in a week or so.
10. Go with your gut. If something catches your eye and the price is right, put it into your cart. It's guaranteed that if you don't and you go back later for it, it will be gone!

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

Christian, Post-Christian – A book I think you'll like
September 14, 2014 By Kimberly Knight Leave a Comment
Sometime this past April I told you that I can no longer comfortably call myself a Christian. "...I am tired. I am tired of begging for scraps from the table. I am tired of begging to borrow an ounce of grace from the money changers in the temple. I am tired of being a pawn in the Christian culture wars. I believe in grace and I have faith in the Incarnation but I need to step away from the riot gear clad protectors of the faith who are pretending to be mediators of truth. It is time. … [Read More...]
The blasphemy of a homophobic Jesus
September 4, 2014 By Kimberly Knight Leave a Comment
Well my goodness, it would seem that yet another "pastor" in yet another "Christian" church has found his 15 minutes of fame on the interwebs by intentionally whipping up theologically inaccurate, fear based, power hungry homophobia. Get a load of this little diddy as reported by Raw Story A pastor of a large Southern Baptist church near Chattanooga, Tennessee said this week that Christians would never repent for discriminating against gay people like they had for racism because … [Read More...]

A Recipe for Spiritual But Not Religious
August 18, 2014 By Kimberly Knight Leave a Comment
This evening I am introducing a new series - my contribution to the "Meet the Nones" meme out there . I have been mulling over (uh, stewing furtively about) an in-depth response to a particular author/pastor from within my own tradition for quite a while. Back in 2011 Lillian Daniel posted "Spiritual but Not Religious? Please Stop Boring Me" on Huffington Post and I was shocked, dismayed and saddened by how utterly un-pastoral and alienating this post was. Rather than demonstrating a s … [Read More...]

Think you know everything you need to know about your man? The experts say a great relationship requires really knowing what makes their partner tick. Whether your romance is new or decades long, there are still ways to strengthen your love. All it takes is being aware of crucial bits of information guaranteed to take your connection to another level. Check out the 10 things every woman should know about her man:
More from The Stir: 5 Weird Things That Turn My Husband On
What else should be on this list?
Image via emilianohorcada/Flickr
His favorite "little things". He knows that your favorite flower is pink roses, that you love chocolate covered cherries and would kill for a massage and a manicure every month. So every now and then he surprises you with one or all of them. What would he like to be surprised with? Maybe HE'D like a pink rose sometime...
This list applies to fairly new couples, not the possible decades-together as mentioned early in the article.
People should find and read 'the five love languages' and have each themselves and their husband take the test. Its a great way to bond and figure some of these things out yourselves :)
I love The Five Love Languages, great suggestion!
I agree with all of these except for #3 unless he and his ex have children together. My man does NOT "need to have some kind of relationship with her", unless it is for the higher purpose of pleasantness for his children he shares with her. Just regular old run of the mill ex-girlfriends though? No reason what so ever to need to keep a relationship with her. Cordial with her sure. Nice, sure. A relationship--no, that ended and is why she's the ex and not the girlfriend.
Seriously!?! How could your romance possibly be "decades long" and you DON'T know this stuff?
My husband and I have been together for a couple of decades and I've known all of this extremely basic info for...oh....about two decades.
the only thing on that list that my husband and i deal with, is his ex. they have a child together so they have a friendship. other than that, its all new relationship crap on your list. i dont care what sports my husband likes and he knows i dont want to hear about them. and my husband is the talker in our marriage. i could care less about sharing my emotions. and our marriage works that way.
This is so great. I always read articles on what women want or how to please your wife. very refreshing and fun.

With football now finished, it's time to focus on basketball.
Unavoidably, we media types are somewhat late to the party But we're glad to be indoors, where it's warm.
Last week we caught up on the girls. Now let's glance at the boys.
Again, we've yet to see a game, so we value input from those who've been keeping up on things since games began Nov. 10.
– Region 8-AA: Union County seems to be running away with things in this region with a 7-0 start. The Panthers entered last weekend having outscored opponents 60-35 approaching their region opener against Greene County on Jan. 4.
– Region 7-AA: Like Union County in 8-AA, Dade County is blazing trails in this region at 8-1 through last week. After a loss to Tennessee's Howard Academy dropped the Wolverines to 2-1, they ripped off six straight wins, including a 110-63 clobbering of Marion County two weeks ago.
– Region 6-AA: Greater Atlanta Christian is off to a hot 7-0 start entering the Carrollton Tournament against Lithia Springs on Wednesday. The Spartans' quick start is reminiscent of 2010, when they began 10-0 en route to winning the first of two consecutive state championships. Westminster (5-2) began this week on a three-game streak, entering a matchup with North Atlanta and its Westminster Holiday Classic between Christmas and New Year's Day.
– Region 5-AA: With a win tonight against Central Talbotton, Manchester, runner-up to Laney last season, will enter the Albany Classic 5-0. Spencer (5-3) has rebounded from an 0-2 start by winning five of six, including Saturday's 107-104 overtime win against Carver-Columbus.
– Region 4-AA: Northeast Macon is scheduled to put its 5-0 start on the line in the South Cobb Shootout on Friday and Saturday. Bleckley County (6-2) has had a good run so far as well, winning three straight before the Antebellum Classic in Milledgeville.
– Region 3-AA: Harlem, which hasn't reached state in 10 seasons, entered last weekend 7-2 and having won five straight, including 69-58 over Greenbrier in overtime. Dublin is 4-1 approaching the Jones County Christmas Tournament, as is Josey rolling into the Houston County Bear Brawl.
– Region 2-AA: Vidalia could well be on its way to a second consecutive semifinal or beyond, thanks to its 7-0 start, including a 3-0 beginning in region. The Indians are scheduled to put that unbeaten streak on the line today at Toombs County and Friday at Montgomery County, before playing in the Brewton Parker Tournament.
– Region 1-AA: Nobody has really distinguished itself in the season's early weeks. Derek Dixon and Devonta Wyche have Thomasville looking strong early on, scoring 15 and 11 points in early season wins over Thomas County Central and Bainbridge, respectively.

Many students claimed the snowy weather and slick roads kept them home, forcing them to pay late fees for registering after classes began. However, because the school and roads were open, the late fee started on the day of classes. "Had the school or any roads to the school been closed, we would have extended the period for late registration," said Dr. Emil Hanson, the assistant vice-president of administration.Late registration dropped drastically during winter quarter, said Hanson, and he contends the late fee is directly responsible. The $15 fee has improved registration by 79 percent, Hanson said. "Last winter quarter, less continued on page 2 Student charged with marijuana possession A Weber State student was booked into Weber County Jail Thursday for possession of marijuana following an arrest by campus police, Lt. Dave Hestand of the campus police said. Ken Lee, 18, a Navajo from a reservation in New Mexico, was arrested after a police informant notified campus police that a strange smell was coming from a room in Promontory Tower, Kip - Ingersoll, campus police said. Ingersoll said, "When we arrived at the room we were given permission to enter by the suspect. At that time we were also given permission to search the room." Ingersoll said marijuana valued at $15 and eight peyote buttons with an undetermined value were confiscated. Lt. Hestand said that no charges were being filed in conjunction with the peyote. "Lee said he was using the peyote for 'religious purposes' and the District Attorney doubted we could make a conviction (for peyote) due to his ethnic background," Hestand said. Hestand said various types of paraphernalia were also confiscated.Lee is currently free on $55 bail. Motor pool accused of poor maintenance practices by Jill Niederhauser News Editor Claim and counter-claim have been the order of the day recently in a dispute concerning the upkeep and maintenance of state-owned vehicles in the WSC Motor Pool. The controversy centers around the college's 15-passenger van, the poor condition in which it is kept and who is to blame for the situation. One of the major users of the 15 passenger van is the WSC debate team. Debate team president David Allen indicated the van was in very poor condition and the motor pool was not fufilling its job of vehicle maintenance. Allen listed almost a dozen problems with the vehicle. Among the problems were: 1) No rear view mirror in the van for several trips 2) A missing headliner in the interior of the van 3) Ill-fitting wing windows 4) Grass and various other flora growing in opposite corners of the vehicle 5) A luggage rack that is falling off because of stripped bolts 6) Missing latch on the passenger side wing window, making it impossible to lock the van 7) Ill-fitting windows which leak air and water, causing those in the back of the van to be cold while those in the front of the van are hot 8) Dangerously loose steering 9) An ill-fitting door on the driver's side, which is practically impossible to close 10) General uncleanliness of the vehicle 11) No preventive maintenance on items such as headlights, windshield wiper blades and tires which have all broken down while traveling. In response to these allegations by the debate team, Mr. Cloyd Blain, supervisor of the WSC Motor Pool, said, "When the vehicle leaves the motor pool, it is in as good a condition as possible. Problems arising after the van has left campus are beyond the control of the motor pool." When asked about the fact that the van had no rear-view mirror for several trips, Blain replied that, "the van had two outside mirrors and the law does not require an inside rear-view mirror." Blain went on to indicate that much of the blame for the condition of the vehicle was in fact the fault of the debate team and not the WSC Motor Pool. Blain said, "The debaters ' bring the van back as filthy as they can." Professor Randy Scott, WSC debate coach, said this was not the case. He said, "I'll admit we don't bring it (the van) back immaculately clean, but I have personally taken it to a car wash twice this year myself. I have enough to do teaching classes, administrating the forensics program and coaching without having to maintain the van." Allen also said that "when the debate team picked up the van for the first tournament of the year, grass, fungus and an entire wastebasket full of garbage were taken from the vehicle." Dr. Fred Pashley, a WSC geology professor who has taken the van on several field-trips, also indicated a problem with the cleanliness of the van. Pashley said, "It's always dirty, as there is no policy concerning vehicle clean-up." Scott said he hoped "Mr. Blain would recognize that he performs a support function on campus and it is not his role to complicate matters for groups who must use the van." Mr. Blain said "the debaters are the only ones who use the van on extensive trips and if Continued on page 2

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

i wanted to just dive in head first with this device but i feel like i need to see some reviews i trust before making the commitment.
It's a shame that great tools are turned into toys. Actually, i was in Apple store yesterday, and for a moment I thought I was in toys r'us. I left without buying anything....
Bluetooth? I would have really like to develop for this. But Bluetooth specs are under bigger lock and key than the dock connector specs.
I'd like to see a company like this apply for Apple's Made for iPhone program, use the dock connector port, and provide us App Store developers a interface SDK.
They sell controllers, we sell games.
I can't believe how long it has taken for this thing to come out.
It's been longer than 3 years. The manufacturers were talking about this before 2007 was over.
Since this is a Bluetooth device, I assume the control pad does not plug into the charging port of the iphone. Does that mean it would work for the IPAD too?? Obviously the IPAD wouldn't fit in the display area, but could it still work while separated? Anybody know?
Yes. In fact, you can get the controller itself (without the iphone attachment) for a cheaper price.
Is this compatible with any game from the AppStore? Naturally it's not needed for games that are not joystick controlled.
Don't think games will be developed for this - Apple will probably kick them off of the App Store
HAHAHA I couldn't think of any better words than that!Rather, the device looks like the product of some hot Gameboy on GameGear action.
I agree, 69.99 is alot to ask with little or no credibility..... now, if they did like a 2 month promo at half price, with the agreement that you have to write a decent review on the product, we would be exchanging monies.
