POSITIVE: Excellent overall organisation, lots of people supporting. NEGATIVE: The hotels operate a cartel on that weekend and oblige you to book two nights at an expensive fare. It is ridiculous. I live in Montréal and wanted to stay only one night in Ottawa... not possible even booking 6 months in advance. This is the sole reason why I will not be running Ottawa next year!!! The organization should take action to solve that issue.
Signed up for Ottawa because it offered good temps, flat race course, and pacers. It delivered on all those accounts. I was trying to run under 3:05 to qualify for Boston, but I faded at the end to miss a PR by a few minutes. In retrospect, the pacer did not do many of us favors by surging right through some second-half water stops. The change in tempo eventually dropped me. The expo is not at a Chicago or Boston level, but it had most things. Although no one (and I mean no one) could confirm whether a 3:05 pacer group existed because the website had promised that and yet the promotional information only listed 3:10. I was bummed, but then on race day there was a 3:05 group. It was a fun course around the city. Loved the stretch in the beginning by the canal and the final few miles back in the main city. It was also great to be able to have my hotel a few blocks away from expo and start/finish. The only other odd thing about the race was that the runners really didn't communicate or converse many pleasantries with each other. This went against my Canadian stereotype, but it was noticeable that everyone stuck to themselves.
Some Good, Some Bad and Some Ugly. Condition: Race day was 5C to 12C / 41F to 54F GOOD 1)Nice race shirt by gender and different for all distance. The marathon (42.2 km/26.2m) is quite sharp and wearable after; navy with orange stripes on the sides. 2) On course medical bike team and paramedic Visible, in good number, and professional. *Thank you to all members of the medical staff part of the event. 3) Announcer at the finish line Named runners coming in great fashion for all. 4) Photographs Fine job by the Cie who covered the event to take pictures of the runners. 5) Course Mostly flat, Ottawa (Ontario course part) is enjoyable. BAD 6) Very disappointing expo (for this race size) No sweat bag handed by the organization, concession booth not ready for runners, almost no tasting or free sample handed, small. 7) No porta-potti at the start line on Elgin Street. UGLY 8) Road course security 8.1 A police officer in Gatineau let a car enters and crossover the 'closed' road while approaching the intersection ending up 1 meter and 1/2 from being hit. 8.2 No famous 'blue' line painted on road to fallow. 8.3 Gatineau roads conditions are mostly disastrous. 9) Crisscross 1/2 and full marathoner course with separate departure This cause 1/2 marathoners to catch-up slower full marathoners resulting both being in each other way, leading to crash (on right side of the road). One departure for both events? 10) Water-Gatorade stations Starting at 26 km Sussex Dr. part I many water stations were either out of Gatorade or simply closed with table fold (Sponge/Gel station volunteers were present) *Thank you to the residents of the 30-36km New Edinburgh course part for giving Mr. Freeze and home lemonade. 11) After the race 11.1 After crossing the finish line volunteer handed cold wet aluminum blanket and knew about it (told so) // had to hunt dry one. 11.2 NO FOOD, NO WATER / NO Gatorade / NO Entertainment / NO staff event at the finish area (FTR Finished way under the 7hours limit of this event). The Ottawa marathon tent event was CLOSED. Note: Volunteers at sweat bag tent had pizza box all over while runner starved. The Medical Students tent was the only one open at finish. OVERALL: For 107.35$ You make your own mind.
I just read the comment about the 2012 race having crappy medals/shirt. Someone must have heard you. This year's stuff was awesome! Lousy expo, but otherwise a great weekend.
This is a fantastic race. The course is a good mix of city, suburbs and natural scenery. It is flat and well supported. The oasis were superb; both sides of the road with sports drinks and water. They even gave gels at two or three points in the route. The community of Ottawa and Gatinau really support this race and it shows by the numerous volunteers and lots of cheering public. The city itself is small, therefore most hotels are within easy walking distance to the race site. Awesome experience this year with temperatures around 10C (50F). Recommended 100%
Well organized and improves every year. Half marathon fills up quickly. Course is Scenic, but the Spectactors make this race memorable. The spectators are everywhere and they inspire you at every mile. Two things that race organizers can improve on: 1)Half Marathon has too many participants and they would be better making Sunday a Marathon only race. 2)The shirts and medals are horrendous. Every runner I know who got one of the shirts or medals made a point of commenting how little effort went into the cheap unappealing race gear and finisher medals.
This was my second Ottawa Marathon, and the course was slightly altered this year. I don't mind, because the best part of travelling to a new city marathon is learning the layout on foot. The people were genuinely friendly (unlike some places that are friendly for the sake of marathon shoppers as well as runners invading the city for a couple days). I stayed at the historic Jail Hostel, which meant I had a two block walk to the start, and a block walk back to my room. I found the place by accident; did I luck out or what?! What I liked best about the marathon: so many different people running this event. What does a marathon runner look like? Never assume. I saw people of all sizes, ages, and abilities doing very well. Crowds were very motivational, because at some point your music can only do so much. Those of us who travelled to Ottawa alone and didn't know anyone were thrilled to have people cheer for us. Those are the memories I will always have of Ottawa. If you go, give yourself an extra day to take photos of the Parliament buildings and downtown. It's a beautiful city.
Very well organized race kit pickup process, and expo was also very good. Easy to access, quick to pick up, and decent deals and exhibitors. Bag drop was very well run, and took no time at all for drop-off and pick-up after the race (however, I ran sub-2:55, making bag pickup less busy). Lots of volunteers on hand, and you can tell the city truly embraces the race weekend, in contrast to others where such races are seen as a nuisance. Start area was well organized, and hopping the barricade to get into the front Blue corral was easy :) Plenty of porta-potties at the warmup area, and also included hand-washing stations, and excellent idea, not usually found at many races. Well done, Ottawa. Marathon course itself was well done, with plenty of water, gatorade and other stations. Sponge stations were excellent to have as well. Road conditions were very good, except for a number of sections on the Gatineau, QC side, where roads were in lesser state of repair, and one later section on the Ottawa side in 30km+ area under construction. Nonetheless, very good overall setup and choice of route. Fans were outstanding overall - some quiet sections, but understandable given the 42.2km nature. In particular, the final 5km-7km had incredible fan support, when runners need it most. Best race experience I've had to date - will definitely return.
This is only my second marathon. My wife and I decided to run it based upon the likelihood of cooler weather in Canada and the great reviews of previous races. As has previously been noted, the weekend was very well organized and the crowds were plentiful and enthusiastic. I am a little biased because I ran a BQ 3:14:59 and made it by one second, so I might be looking through rose colered glasses, but everything about my experience with both the event and the city of Ottawa was top shelf. I will be making the trip north from Florida to race this again.
One of my better marathon experiences, definitely. The expo was large and well- represented, colorful bibs with runner names were great, tech T was great and race info for runners and spectators was plentiful and easily accessible. Actual race was nice - crowd support was outstanding and medals were nice. 10K and marathon on different days helped multiple family members participate. Fluid stations were well stocked. Minor improvement possibilities: Chip was old fashioned, nowadays chip in bib is standard. Walk after end of race was a little long (meeting place was convenient).

Personal Stories
Rosetta, Uganda
Watching your toddler play and learn about the world around them should be a happy time for any mother. But Rosetta couldn't enjoy watching her 14 month old son, Joseph, grow up because she lived with the constant fear of him contracting malaria - a disease that's already taken the lives of two of her children.
Kids under the age of five are most at risk of dying from malaria - and both of Rosetta's children were the same age as Joseph when they caught the killer disease.
Sam was treated in hospital when he first got very sick, but the disease flared up again shortly after, and his body was just too weak to pull through.
A year later, Rosetta rushed her daughter Lillian to hospital. But tragically, it was too late – Lillian also lost her life.
Rosetta was devastated and felt utterly powerless – she simply couldn't stop the mosquitoes, that carry the disease, from biting her children as they slept.
But, thankfully, that's not the end of the story.
Last year, five of the brave celebrities who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Comic Relief went to Uganda to hand out half a million mosquito nets. And Rosetta was one of the first to receive enough life-saving nets to protect her entire family.
By getting the nets, and information on how best to use them - mums, dads and their kids, like Rosetta and her family, have a fighting chance against this deadly disease.
"After receiving mosquito nets distributed by Comic Relief, Rosetta's entire family now has a fighting chance against deadly malaria in Uganda."

This is the device that applies gentle, soothing massage to both the top and bottom of the hand. Similar to hand reflexology, it compresses trigger points on the palm and back of hand using a mechanical air pressure system that kneads the hand for a comfortable, spa-like massage. A team of physical therapists found the massager to have potential to help relieve pain and discomfort in the hands; its soothing rhythm helps to relieve the tension, stress, and fatigue associated with extended keyboard and mouse usage. After a hand is inserted into the device's soft polyester interior, a push of a button begins a 5-, 10-, or 15-minute session at one of four pressure levels. It can also provide far infrared heat during sessions to promote better circulation. Requires four AA batteries. 10 1/4" L x 7 3/4" W x 9 3/4" D. (2 3/4 lbs.)

Hand Reflexology Massager
By Typing Freenzy
from Santa Clarita, CA
Recently I dislocated my right shoulder and was experiencing severe pain in my right wrist. I type all day for work and both wrists were having some pain prior to the fall, but after...it was a major problem. I would wake up in the middle of the night with my wrist in so much pain I could not sleep. I remembered seeing this product in a catalog I received and decided to order it. I am so glad I did. It has made the pain go away and I can type with almost no discomfort. Now I need to find something for my neck which the dislocation of the shoulder has created some discomfort. I would recommend this product.

miracle machine
By Eric
from Ann Arbor, Michigan
I was so glad I have finally bought this machine. It works excellent giving comfort to my achy finger joints from gouty arthritis. Very convenient and saves my time going to a physical therapist. After a 5 minute reflexology massage, my hands feels relieve and less stress.
Not what I thought it would be
By MaggieMay
from San Diego, CA
Item was shipped quickly. Device is too small for a man's hand. As a woman, I have small hands and device fit just perfect. Massage was too firm for me tho, actually hurt my arthritic areas. I felt restricted as tho my hand may get stuck in device. I wouldn't recommend
really helps
By Grant, caring husband
from Moses Lake, Wa
My wife has lots of problems with her hands. Your machine seems to help a lot soothing her pain. She uses it 2 or 3 times a day and after using it, she has less difficulty using her hands. It was worth the money invested.

The ILA lobbies and is involved in politics. The two cannot co-mingle funds as the NRA is tax exempt and can't do political lobbying. The ILA does all the political lobbying. If the folks making this offer are NRA certified instructors (like Me) they get a small commission for each new member and each renewal member they sign up.

I'm an NRA instructor but have not signed up for the recruiter program. The $300 offer I received was due to me being a Life Member; I get no commission.

I am not an NRA instructor nor do I get any financial kickbacks. I was offered the $300 for Family and Friends and want to sign up as many who want to.

It never ceases to amaze me how many bull**** claims people can make to bitch about the NRA.
First off, the NRA does NOT offer good ratings based on issues OTHER than 2nd amendment issues. You may love your congresscritter like a brother, and think they're just the best thing ever, but if they cater to the anti-gun crowd they're not going to be an "A" rated representative. In my own state's last governor's race, they rated the incumbent, Ted Strickland, a Democrat, higher than they did John Kasich, a Republican. Hate to tell you, but Bernie is a Socialist. The NRA-ILA is not a advocate for gun makers, their mission is to lobby for gun rights in both the local state legislatures, as well as in the US Congress. And the cost of your membership does not go to their efforts. And to those who are angry that they paid full price for a life membership, while others are given the chance to attain the same level of support for much less, sorry. If you paid the money to be a life member, you should be overjoyed the association is doing all they can to add members to the NRA. More gun owners associated with the NRA adds to the influence they can wield with our lawmakers. I find it incredibly sad that in a country with better than 90 million gun owners, only a bit over 4 million feel they should support a group working to protect our gun rights. And yes, you should support your state gun groups, politics is more local than national. A strong support of your state association influences your state lawmakers efforts to strengthen your 2nd amendment rights. In my opinion, we should be applauding the members here who are offering to assist those interested in becoming life members by sharing the bounty they were given, not fear they're making money on the memberships. I was blessed to be able to become a life member from such a generous offer here a few years back, I've since upgraded my membership to endowment status. Frankly, I didn't spend the money to get a cool windbreaker, or flashlight, or other trinket embossed with the NRA logo. I considered the money an investment to keep my rights intact, and perhaps strengthen our rights for our children and grandchildren. But, there's always going to be detractors of the NRA. I'd be willing to bet they're the same people who refuse to shoulder their share of the load in our struggle against those in our country who would LOVE to see civilian ownership of firearms a fond memory, instead of a reality. But these are the same people who would complain the loudest if laws were changed, and bitch that "somebody should have done something." BE THAT SOMEBODY! Thanks to all of you who are sharing the reduced life membership this year, following a tradition seen here near as long as I've been a member here. I salute you! |

When the NRA said they weren't interested in endorsing a bid to get our constitutional carry rights back for us here in Texas, I decided that the NRA isn't interested in *my* 2nd Amendment rights, and that I wouldn't endorse them either. Screw 'em.

Re-posting since it's back a few pages...
0 out of 20 spots remaining. Got the offer for the 3rd year in a row. Got this down to a science now. ----------- So for those of you new to this, this is a 100% volunteer effort. I am not an NRA recruiter, and I receive no commission, rewards, kickbacks, etc. from doing this. It takes up 10-20 hours of volunteer time and maybe $7 in postage/handling. Some of the Perks: * ArmsCare Firearms insurance is now $2500 for all members (not just Life Members). This covers theft, fire, etc, and is free. Used to be only $1000. * Choice of monthly magazine subscription * Hotel/car rental discount similar to AAA discounts. I've knocked $20 off a hotel room price before. * If you believe in the cause, NRA membership is mandatory. 80+ million gun owners in the USA, but only ~4.5 million NRA members? AARP has a higher ratio. Please send me a PM with: * Name (exactly as you want it to appear on membership card and shiny Life Member certificate) * Address * Magazine preference (American Rifleman, American Hunter, America's 1st Freedom) AND if you prefer the print magazine or Digital edition * NRA number if you're already a member (so they can match it up easier instead of creating a duplicate account) Optional: * Telephone * E-mail address (Recommended so you get their e-mails) * Date of Birth I think they're asking for date of birth to clean up their computer database. With 4.3+ million members, there's gonna be some duplicate accounts (people with 2 or more NRA numbers). This will help them match people up. That and birthday will help sort out John Smith Jr. and John Smith Sr. This is just my guess why they're asking for birthday. That and demographics of gun owners and their members. I will reply to your PM with my name and PO box mailing address, where you can send a check or money order made payable to "NRA". I check that PO box every weekend and will send you a PM when I have received your check/money order. Once I have 20 people, I will send all the information and checks to the NRA. I send it at least Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation so everyone can track it. My deadline is January 15, 2012. I'd like to have this in the mail shortly after New Year's.

Gee,I live in Ohio, I'd love to see them devote all the resources they have to better my gun rights. But I'd prefer they spend those precious dollars to get a Chicago resident the right to actually have a self defense firearm in their home legally. Or any number of much more oppressive laws on law abiding cities in our nation. Funny, I've always been told Texas is a gun culture state, I had no idea you folks were so beaten down by "the man." Let's all take up a collection here to fund the effort to pass laws to liberate the poor gun owners in Texas. |

Texas gun laws are absurd. You can openly carry a rifle down the street - without a license - but you can't openly carry a pistol. You can drive down the street with a rifle sitting on the front seat, leaning against the window, but you can't have a pistol in plain view in the car. Yes, you can concealed carry, but only if you pay the state for the *privilege* to do so. In my eyes, those things do NOT make Texas a gun-rights-friendly state (one of just six states that doesn't have open-carry). When approached during the last legislative session, both the NRA AND the TSRA (Texas State Rifle Association) refused to endorse a bid to get open carry passed. They were more concerned with campus carry and employer parking lot storage. When either organization declares LOUDLY that constitutional carry is their primary goal, then I will consider becoming a member. I'm tired of taking "baby steps" in the fight to get our Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights back. |

I'm tired of it as well, but incremental steps is how the political game is played, unfortunately. I mean, GOA doesn't believe in taking incremental steps, but such an "all-or-nothing" hard stance results in "nothing."

One advantage you enjoy in Texas over Ohio law is a concealed carry permit exempts you from filling out a Form 4473 to buy a firearm. You have to obtain a permit to concealed carry, so do we. Had that dreaded NRA not been around to "compromise" on gun issues in 1968, neither of us would be able to even own handguns. And I'd agree with Ted Nugent on the need to obtain a state issued permit to allow me to carry a firearm for my self defense, the second amendment should be our concealed carry permit. But theory and reality are much different concepts. The GOA may try to assure you that they'll get constitutional carry the law of the land across the US. They'll fail in their attempt. Love 'em or hate 'em, the NRA has a much more pragmatic approach to gun issues. They understand that finding a consensus among legislators takes giving on some issues to enjoy a victory in other issues. Neither party alone has the "juice" to pass laws that return rights we lost long ago immediately. We didn't lose the rights we had overnight, we'll not get them back overnight either. I'd bet the residents of, oh, say Chicago, New York City or LA would love to see the gun rights you consider too little for your taste. You speak as if the parking lot laws, or campus carry are not important issues. Perhaps not for you, but for people who work in state where employers can demand that NO firearms are ever on their property in other states, it's huge. For college students who have concealed carry permits, campus carry is also huge. And given the level of crime against innocent victims we see on college campuses Nationwide, I tend to agree. For employees who have concealed carry permits, and work in areas not quite Mayberry when they arrive or depart from work, parking lot laws go a long way to protect these folks from violent crime. Bottom line is, not everything you or I see as a priority is an area of immediate need to protect people from criminals. Myself, I feel concealed carry for all truck drivers should be a Nationwide accepted right. We go into areas of cities that are not quite real fun at any and all times of the day and night. We are usually in control of a loaded trailer that usually has cargo some folks would love to take from us. Yet, in the most dangerous areas of large urban areas, if we follow the laws, we're disarmed. |

An organization like that, willing to sacrifice the rights of one part of it's constituency, for the benefit of another part does not have much appeal to me. I don't care to see the day my black rifle becomes restricted, because the NRA traded that right for something that benefits owners of shotguns, or hunting rifles, or whatever else. There are times when compromise is good, and appropriate. Rights should never be compromised. Not even a little. Ever. |

The NRA isn't perfect, and not all gun owners even agree on all gun issues.
That being said, where do you think our gun rights would be if the NRA didn't exist? Where do you think our gun rights would be if the majority of gun owners spent $20 - $35 bucks a year on NRA memberships (what power the NRA would have if it had 40 million members instead of 4 million? Get off the bitch wagon and start helping the rest of us haul your butt around. [now I'll get off my soap box]
Shame on you if you own a gun and are not a NRA member. NRA Life Member |

Farmland to
be conserved
The Vermont Housing & Conservation Board has awarded over $1.6 million in state and federal funding to conserve six farms totaling nearly 700 acres in Washington, Windham and Orange counties.
The board matched $740,000 in state funds with $864,000 in federal funding for farmland protection from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The Vermont Land Trust is raising approximately $170,000 to match the funding.
The farmers will sell conservation easements, limiting any future development to the terms of the easement. As a result of these funding commitments, the Vermont Land Trust will conserve farms in Barre Town, Washington, Thetford, Randolph, Westminster and Dummerston.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of August 24, 2009
Sonny told Claudia that he had set up a scholarship in honor of their son's memory. She was suspicious but he said that he wanted to make a go of their marriage. They established that they would show each other more respect from now on. She added that she wanted to try to have another baby. He said he wasn't sure if he was prepared to give his assent. Claudia said that she would raise their baby to be proud of who he is and what he does.
At Kelly's, Olivia behaved oddly and beat a hasty retreat with Jax after coming upon Carly, Morgan and Dominic at a table. Jax called Olivia out about Dominic being Dante; she didn't deny it and revealed that Dante is working undercover to bring down Sonny.... Carly and Dominic discussed Morgan; he volunteered to stay away from the boy but Carly could tell that Dominic genuinely cares for Morgan and wondered why he would work for
Sonny. She made it clear that she was trying to open his eyes to the bad decision he had (seemingly) made... Jax felt for Olivia, agreeing that she was in an impossible situation. She accused him of thinking that her son is Jax's best shot of getting Sonny out of his life. Jax tried to assure her that Dante is up to the challenge at hand. Back at Kelly's, Carly balked when Morgan proposed that Dominic drive him over to Sonny's, but when Jax returned, he said he thought that was a good idea. After Dante left with Morgan, Carly asked Jax why he had changed his tune about allowing him near Morgan; Jax tried to cover.... Dante and Morgan arrived at Sonny's. Dante and Sonny learned that they had both played shortstop.
Elizabeth and Nikolas fell into a steamy kiss. She pulled away and he apologized but said that he didn't know how to stop wanting her. Liz was flustered and admitted that she had wanted him to kiss her. Lucky returned home with the boys. After the group ate, Nikolas left and Liz and Lucky discussed how Nikolas was doing. Lucky pulled Liz into a kiss.
Nikolas went to see Rebecca and told her that he had overreacted to what she had done and while he was still angry, he had some questions for her. He told her that what they had between them wasn't done for him and he hoped it wasn't over for her. She looked pensive.
Jason and Sam discussed the end of their relationship and the good and bad times they'd had. When the tone became a bit intense, Sam said that she was going to get the car started and bolted outside. Sam returned and Jason was out of bed. She said she wouldn't lecture him. He began to fall and she steadied him; they sat on the edge of the bed very close together and she was flustered. She left again to continue her auto work. Sam returned again and the physical proximity between Jason and Sam continued to affect them both. Finally, he began tenderly to wash her off and they began to kiss passionately.
At the Q mansion, Rebecca apologized to Nikolas for deceiving him, stating that her feelings for him are genuine. She was skeptical that Nik could forgive her so quickly but he assured her that he had. Edward arrived and booted Nik off his property. Before leaving, Nikolas asked Rebecca to meet him that night at Wyndemere.
Claudia broke up a meeting of Sonny, Dominic and Morgan, who were talking sports. Claudia told Morgan that she was sorry she wasn't able to give him a little brother. Morgan then mentioned about going to the Yankees game with Dominic. Sonny suggested that they all go to check out the new stadium. After Morgan and Dom left, Sonny told Claudia that he was surprised she likes baseball. Claudia replied that she liked being a stepmom to his sons. Sonny then opened up about his past with Carly and his kids. Claudia marveled that she and her husband could actually have a civilized conversation. Sonny apologized for his bad treatment of Claudia and promised things would be better.
Sam and Jason proceeded to make love again. Afterward, Sam made an awkward exit, then questioned where do they go from here.
Dominic and Morgan walked in on Carly and Jax kissing. Carly was not thrilled that Morgan spoke so highly of Claudia.
In Mexico, Kristina was upset that Kiefer was hooking up with another girl in her absence. Kristina called Kiefer, who was sunbathing at the country club. He paid a female worker to answer his phone, say, "Kiefer's busy" and hang up. Kristina was visibly upset after the call. Michael couldn't understand why Kristina was so hung up on Kiefer. Later, a teary Kristina told Michael that she missed her beau and needed to go home.
Ethan visited Rebecca at the Qs and she thanked him for exposing her. Ethan claimed that he never wanted to hurt Rebecca. She spat back that Nikolas forgave her. "Don't come back!" Rebecca told Ethan.
On the docks, Elizabeth saw Nikolas. He thanked her for inviting him to the picnic. Liz apologized for coming down hard on him regarding Rebecca. They both managed to not discuss their latest kiss.
Back at Casa de Corinthos, Sonny assured Claudia that he and Olivia haven't slept together and he stated that he was no longer pursuing her. Dominic eavesdropped outside.
Rebecca showed up at Wyndemere, where Nikolas was waiting for her in the bedroom. Nik congratulated her on a job well done. Rebecca stated that she's glad the truth came out. Nik then pulled her into a kiss.... As Elizabeth soaked in the tub, she couldn't get Nikolas out of her head.
Dominic showed up at Olivia's, where he gleefully informed his mother that Sonny was going to patch things up with Claudia. "He's never going to see you again," Dom smiled. Olivia said she didn't care and told Dominic that she was still going to stick Port Charles around to keep an eye on him. After Dominic left, Olivia sighed.
Tracy met with Ethan at The Haunted Star to discuss the revelation that he and Rebecca were in cahoots to rip off the Quartermaines. Ethan admitted that he had no idea he'd find his real family along the way. They then discussed Luke's absence. Lulu walked up and wanted to know what they were discussing. Ethan came clean to his half-sister about his partnership with Rebecca. Lulu was upset to discover that she was the last to know — and that everyone was right about Ethan from the beginning. Dominic showed up and Ethan challenged him to a game of cards. As Ethan was collecting his chips, Dom was determined to win back his money. At that point, Lulu pulled two aces out of Ethan's sleeve. She walked out of the casino and Dominic followed her. As Dom launched into flirtatious conversation, Lulu kissed him just to get him to shut up.
At Wyndemere, Rebecca asked Nikolas how he could forgive her so easily for her duplicity. Nik pulled her into a kiss. Later, after having sex, Rebecca said that she was relieved that their relationship was not over. Nikolas assured her everything was fine, but he couldn't look Rebecca in the eye when he said it. Alfred prepared a special dinner for the couple. Nikolas proposed a toast: "To love," he smiled. Later, as Rebecca slept, Nikolas told Alfred that, "Rebecca spit on Emily's grave, and she will pay for that."
Things got tense between Spinelli and Maxie at the penthouse as they discussed their upcoming wedding. The lovebirds could not decide on their future living arrangements, either. Maxie said that if she had to live with Jason after they were married, then the wedding was off. Spinelli told Maxie that he'd live wherever she wanted. Then, he brought up their sex life. Spinelli suggested that they not have sex again until they were married. "Are you kidding?" Maxie shouted.
Jason and Sam headed out to find Michael and Kristina. The pair had trouble finding a good radio station during their drive. They listened in on a talk radio show offering romantic advice, which they quickly turned off. Later, as Jason nodded off, Sam pulled over to get some sleep but couldn't close her eyes without looking at Jason. Before they knew it, the pair was snuggling up together in their sleep.
In Mexico, after telling Michael that she wanted to go home, a tearful Kristina confessed that she was the one who caused Claudia's car accident. Kristina apologized to Michael for letting him think he was culpable for the crash. Michael told Krissy that he knows she wasn't being malicious and said that maybe it was time for her to head home.
Knowing that Olivia has been out of sorts lately, Johnny showed up at her doorstep with flowers. Olivia assured Johnny that she was merely concerned with her son. Olivia said that she couldn't get over dating a guy who was her son's age. Johnny said he wasn't buying that excuse and pulled her into a passionate kiss. "Tell me to go and I'll go," Johnny whispered, but Olivia couldn't find the words. They then fell into bed together.
Diane was incensed that Alexis seemingly went behind her back to cut a deal regarding Claudia's accident. Alexis assured her friend that she didn't. Then, Nikolas walked in and said he did the legal wrangling. "I'm a Cassadine," he pointed out. "Why wouldn't I?" Nikolas also assured his aunt that he'd take care of the charges against her regarding Brianna's murder, as well. The trio discussed the case. Alexis noted that Nik sounded just like Stefan. Alexis then said that she had no regrets about protecting Kristina and typed up her letter of resignation. Andrea showed up and gloated that Alexis would be going to prison but Alexis pointed out that Andrea seemed a little nervous.
At the penthouse, Maxie didn't like Spinelli's idea of not having sex again until after they were married. She came onto him but he remained steadfast, a little weak in the knees, but steadfast nonetheless. Mac showed up to talk to Spinelli and wasn't pleased to see that Maxie had spent the night. "Of course I did," she said, raising her hand. "I'm engaged."
At Jax's office, Olivia wasn't comfortable with her boss talking about Dante, in case someone might hear them. Jax agreed and apologized.
In Mexico, an obnoxious couple came into the store to rent wave runners. The creep, Chad, even hit on Kristina. Michael kept his cool and had the guy leave his valuables in a lock box and take the key with him. Kristina wondered why Michael was being so nice. Michael had a copy of the key, opened up the box and pulled out the jerk's watch. He then said, "How could I be mean to the guy who's going to by your ticket home?" he grinned. Later, Michael pawned the watch and bought Kristina a plane ticket home. She was still upset that he was taking the rap for the accident. Just then, Chad came in and said the wave runner he used was damaged and he demanded a refund and his possessions back. When Michael couldn't produce the watch, Chad punched him.
Sonny wanted to know why Johnny was giving his sister such a hard time but Johnny declined to answer. He then went to the garage, where Olivia was waiting for him. He vented about Claudia and wondered if he should just expose her to Sonny already. Olivia offered him some sage advice, then gave Johnny back his phone, which he'd left at her place. They kissed and he thanked her for listening. She smiled, then went back to work.
Carly told Sonny that the family joined the country club. Sonny asked Morgan if it'd be okay for dear old dad to tag along with them when they went. Morgan was enthused about the idea. At the club, Kiefer approached Sonny and Carly and asked if they'd heard from Michael or Kristina. Sonny told Kiefer to mind his own business and stay away from his kids. Molly came over and diffused the situation, but Carly warned Kiefer not to make Sonny angry.
At the hospital, Robin asked Patrick to help her find proof incriminating Andrea in Brianna's murder. They went to see Jax and Olivia and discussed their theory. The foursome determined that they needed to find the murder weapon. Jax had the staff pull the records of everyone who stayed at the hotel that day. Then, Olivia checked inventory records and discovered that a figurine was missing from Brianna's room. Patrick said the figurine could have been the murder weapon.
Claudia went to the garage to finish her fight with Johnny, who was still furious that she sent Jerry after Michael and Kristina. As they argued, Sonny entered and told Johnny it was time they had a talk.
Jax met with Spinelli and said he knows that The Jackal uncovered Michael and Kristina's location and demanded to know where they were. Jax assured Spinelli that all he wanted to do was to get them home safely. "Cancun," Spinelli spilled.
Dominic went to Sonny's and, seeing no one was there, stole some papers out of Sonny's desk. Just then, Max came in carrying Diane. He spotted Dom, dropped Diane on the couch and pulled out his gun. "What are you doing here?" Max demanded to know. Dom managed to talk his way out of the situation and left. Dominic then took the papers to Ronnie. There, Ronnie warned Dominic not to get to close to the people he's set to bring down.
In Mexico, Michael was mid-confrontation with the surfer who thought Michael
had stolen from him when Jason and Sam arrived. Jason pulled a gun on the
teen. Michael paid the teens off and they agreed to keep mum. After the
youths bolted, Michael asked Jason how much trouble he was in. Sam tended to
Jason and they told the teens about Jason getting shot and their respective
travails with Jerry. Kristina and Michael discussed whether Alexis was the
reason that Jerry isn't in jail. Kristina opened up to Sam about how much
she misses Kiefer. Sam asked Kristina why she had left with Michael in the
first place. Sam shocked Kristina with the news that Alexis had confessed to
causing Claudia's accident. Jason was examined by a doctor, then followed
Michael back to the surf shop. Michael told Jason that he was staying in
Robin told Alexis that she intends to prove that Andrea is guilty of the
murder, but unbeknownst to her, Andrea was listening in. Patrick caught her
eavesdropping and escorted her into the office. Andrea accused Robin of
making baseless accusations, then stalked off. While Patrick urged Robin to
be more careful, Alexis got the news about Michael and Kristina.... Andrea
researched poisons....
Jax told Carly that he's going out of town. She was greatly relieved when he
noted that he had located Michael and Kristina. Jason called Caly to say
that he had found the runaways. Jax relayed the news to Morgan. Morgan
blocked Kiefer's efforts to get Molly to tell him what was going on. The
Jackses went home and Morgan ordered Molly to stay away from Kiefer. Keifer
came by the house and apologized to Carly for his behavior at the country
club. Morgan called him out on his insincerity. Later, Kiefer left a message
for Kristina, claiming that he couldn't wait for her to come back and for
them to pick up where they'd left off.
Maxie and Lulu reeled when they learned that Couture's editor had been
arrested. They worried that Giselle would turn on Kate and that they would
lose their jobs. Kate showed up and the ladies were surprised to hear that
Kate had helped to engineer Giselle's downfall. Kate made it clear that she
knew that they had suspected her of sabotage but she was pleased that they
had remained loyal and discreet.
Sonny blasted Johnny for speaking harshly to Claudia. The confrontation
ended when Sonny heard about Jason locating his kids and he left. Johnny and
Claudia then resumed their own verbal scuffle. Johnny told Claudia that she
would be wise to get away from Sonny that night, or she might not have
another chance to avoid Sonny killing her. Claudia responded by insisting to
Johnny that Olivia is using him to make Sonny jealous.
Sonny interrupted a moment of passion between Diane and Max. Alexis joined
the group. Max and Diane left while Sonny and Alexis discussed the situation
with the kids. Sonny pointed out that Kristina could confess to the crime
even though Alexis had taken the fall. Claudia stood outside the room and
learned that Kristina was driving the car that ran her off the road.

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (3/20/13) - Webster County elementary schools are preparing to begin the process of allowing school choice for next school year. Although campuses will remain "closed" for the remainder of this school year, officials are ready to begin handing out transfer request forms. Each of the schools now have the forms on hand in the principal's office.
"The school board, district administrators and school administrators, with input from parents, worked together to create a procedure that gives parents an opportunity to request a transfer to a school of their choice," said Aaron Collins, the principal at Sebree Elementary.
That procedue is ready to begin, but there are a few things that parents need to be aware of before they begin the process. The guidelines set by the school board says that students are only allowed transfer if the transfer would not bring the class size any higher than two less than capacity.
In a case where a family has multiple children in different grades, the possibility could arise where one child could be allowed to transfer while the other would not because of cap size.
Although the school district wants to make that clear, this rule is also one that is not set in stone. The school choice option has been put primarily in the hands of the principals, who will have the final say in approving transfers, even if that means going over the number set by the board.
"I believe only a few students will request a transfer to another school," said Dixon principal Eric Wheatley. "Most will be because of it being more convenient for the parents instead of issues with a particular school."
The principal's job will be to determine what is best for both the student and his or her classmates.
"The last thing I would want to do is accept an applicant for next year and then have to turn around and send them back after a year," said Clay principal Jackie Smith. "As administrators of the building we can look at the big picture; students' needs and staffing. Then we can make those decisions. I think also, all of the principals will work together to make this work."
Officials expect a few growing pains as the procedue gets under way, but everyone from the school board to the principals seem to be behind it.
"I think this is a good plan by our board of education to provide choice for parents and their children," said Assistant Superintendant Riley Ramsey. "Although it will be limited at first (because of limited rooms in the schools). When the Middle School opens a year from now, it will provide a lot more flexibility for our parents."

I guess i'm not the target audience here being that I have an average atention span..............................But oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this film was slow slow... and why on earth didn't they just make it a documentary? because let's be honest, this is what this is...albeit a documentary with a weird pointless Dickens esque sidestory and some truly awful cameos- Was this review helpful to you?

(305)A film about what an adult thinks a child should like, rather than a genuine kids film.
By gep (2 reviews) , 06 Dec 2013Could have been good but essentially a film for adults who are imagining a film for children rather than for children themselves. At least my three thought it below par, mainly because it was boring. Pretentious and essentially a Director's ego piece, this film appeals more to adults than to the children and even adults will have to resist the feeling that it is so contrived and pretentious as to be essentially hollow.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Trishy76 (12 reviews) , 08 Oct 2013I found this film a bit weird. I got a bit bored in places but thought it ended good. My children (10 & 9) enjoyed it which is why I gave it a higher rating. I wouldn't watch it again and they wouldn't either apparently. It managed to keep us all watching though so there must have been something about it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Another visual treat from the maestro
By JafarIqbal (97 reviews) from London , 31 Aug 2013Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is an orphan living in the walls of a train station, in 1930s Paris. He becomes embroiled in a mystery involving his dead father, an automaton, and the enigmatic Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley). Im not a big fan of 3D in fact, I hate it. Im yet to see a movie that does the format justice but, admittedly, Hugo comes pretty bloody close. What sets Hugo apart from other 3D movies, and one of the reasons I enjoyed it, is that its a 3D movie about 3D movies. It therefore allows the filmmakers artistic license, and makes the format more acceptable. But thats what happens when Martin Scorsese makes a film the man is a certified genius, who knows how to get the best out of what hes working with. We all know he can do it with the actors, we know he can do it with genres, now he does it with 3D. And the truth is that, as good as everything else about this movie is (and theres a lot of good), the best thing about this film is the visuals. From start to finish, Hugo looks spectacular. The opening scene, as we see the camera zoom through Paris to the intricacies of the train station is breathtaking, and it retains that high standard throughout. Its also helped by the fact that the cast is full of incredible actors. From the young leads to the elder statesmen, everyone chips in with stellar performances. Asa Butterfield is a great choice for the lead actor, and Chloe Moretz does a very decent job with her English accent. That girl is gonna be a huge star when shes older, and will thoroughly deserve it. Not much needs to be said about Ben Kingsley and Christopher Lee and Ray Winstone and Helen McCrory, and all the other veterans. Theyre good, we know. Sacha Cohen is a revelation, though. He is fantastic as the Station Inspector. Hugo deserved all the awards that it won its a fantastic film and I loved watching it. Scorsese doesnt make many bad films and, with this, he proves that he can make films for children too. And that 3D is actually bearable.- Was this review helpful to you?

Overhyped children's movie
By ArrogantDuck (69 reviews) , 09 Aug 2013Whilst visually amazing and a genuine work of craft, the movie itself takes a long time to get where it's going and ends up being a tribute to early filmmaker and trick photography pioneer Georges Melies. Supposedly this is based on a children's book, but the content seems too adult for young children and the style and some of the comedy relief is too childish for adults. Still, it's beautiful to look at and encapsulates the feel of a movie the entire family could sit round to watch on a Christmas evening, it's nowhere near Martin Scorsese's best work and the fact this won 5 Oscars was rather generous. Good, albeit very overhyped.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dec 12, 2013I was expecting this to be a hilarious Will Ferrel driven film, but instead only had a few laughs and didn't hold up as well as I thought it would. Could have also made more use of the other characters.
Dec 4, 2013Really???
It seems like the intention of this movie is being an ironic comedy. But to do it, the director makes a retarded and bad movie with some nonsense things... It is a little strange for me to see a movie being intentionally bad. But that's what happened. I just laughed 2 or 3 times in the movie, and it was only because the scene was extremely retarded.
Not recommended at all. -
Nov 24, 2013Classic comedy full of amazingly funny segments, even though i'm not entirely sure what the point of the film was i enjoyed the hell out of it, this film as influenced our generation by giving us amazing quotes and meme material sadly because of memes this film didn't feel as funny as i was hoping yet still was very funny.
Nov 13, 2013Ron Burgundy is the balls.
Anchorman with its raunchy, over the top characters, and brutally stereotypical screenplay; incredibly succeeds. If you do not laugh at this than you are honestly dark inside. -
Nov 10, 2013Anchorman is definitely a funny movie: the jokes are there. Many quotes are memorable, and Steve Carrell is an improv genius. The middle does get a little slow and melodramatic, but the movie redeems itself in the end scenes that makes for a concise, raunchy comedy about working in the news.
Nov 2, 2013Officially cemented itself on my Favourite Comedies of All Time list. Ferrell is at his comedic best and the ensemble cast including a few uncredited cameos just bring it up even higher. Some lame jokes in one or two places that felt a little forced but ultimately, its a comedic excellence.
Aug 29, 2013One of the best comedies I've ever seen and probably the best with Will Ferrell. A lot of really funny jokes and perfect cast including some guest appearances by Jack Black, Ben Stiller and even Danny Trejo.

Aug 12, 2013
Jun 30, 2013I just don't know what to say. The first time I saw this, I didn't laugh. Then I watched it again, and I almost peed myself. This is arguably Ferrell's best film to date, no doubt a cult classic.
Jun 28, 2013It has its moments, but overall it is not entertaining to watch and rather boring. A huge cast doesn't necessarily bring huge laughs. It was a tedious script in which every character came off as stupid.
Jun 28, 2013There's no denying how funny this movie is. Just about every line is quotable due to how funny they are. In fact, there's a kid in my neighborhood who has, in fact, memorized just about every line in this movie. Every time he quotes Anchorman, I still laugh. I'm super pumped for the sequel.
Apr 6, 2013
Jan 20, 2013This is a very funny movie, one of Will Ferrell's best. It also has tons of other hollywood funny men as either main characters or a hilarious cameo. There's really not much else to say, as you can see by the score it's a great comedy and one that I recommend.
Nov 28, 2012An unending tornado of irresistible hilarity, "Anchorman" represents the finest work Adam McKay and Will Ferrell have to offer.
Nov 9, 2012I appreciate sophisticated humor as much as the next guy. I do think that such humor is often the best. But that doesn't mean that I don't love the s**t out of some silly nonsense every now and again.
Nov 8, 2012Is there even an ounce of sense to it? No, none. But its downright hilarious and has a language of its own.
Oct 28, 2012
Aug 18, 2012For me, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is pretty much the funniest film of all time. It's an eternal classic that never gets old and has the type of quotes that stay with you for life and enter your daily vernacular. Get your friends round, watch this movie as a group... comedy heaven!
Jun 5, 2012Such a great film. I had no idea that San Diego was discovered by Germans.....Will ferrel stars as a Anchorman for Channel 4 news, he has a happy life living with his dog Baxter. Until a new woman journalist comes in. This film was funny, smart and well though through. Steve carrel was especially good in this film.
May 31, 2012Its much funnier than Talladega Nights and theres a better cast here. Will Ferrell has rarely been better and the story, while sloppy in its construction, is very memorable.
May 27, 2012Anchorman is a decent comedy. It has its moments, and sometimes you will laugh pretty hard. But, its pretty dull most of the times also. From Will Ferrell, I expected more but it is worth a watch at least once.
Apr 2, 2012Anchorman is an extrememely funny film with great acting by everyone. Through incorporating an array of different personalties into the film, it creates a pleasurable and enjoyable atmosphere. One of the best comedies in years.
Mar 31, 2012Will Farrell is always funny. In this he is hilarious. It is pretty inappropriate. Irections and much more. If you like dogs you will see one fall of a bridge.
Feb 29, 2012A ton of hilarious parts in the film but the last 45 mins or so were incredibly stupid and ruined the first half of the film for me. Its still a funny comedy though so I guess it makes up for it.
Dec 26, 2011Quite possibly the most quotable movie of all time. "They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time." You don't have a sense of humor if you don't laugh in this.
Dec 12, 2011The movie starts off hilariously perfect but the last 45 mins or so of the film are just so terrible and poorly writting that it ruins the good experiance that you had before it. Far too long imo and that hurt the film big time.
Nov 30, 2011how the hell is this only a 7.1?! This was easily Will Ferells best movie and you people that comment with no sense of humor always screw it up! This movie was great btw. I say 10!
Sep 20, 2011Probably the funniest movie of the decade. Will Ferrell plays his funniest character to date. It just puts a stupid smile on your face. It has that unique quality of repeatably, where you can watch this over and over and not get sick of it.
Jul 27, 2011This movie is a perfect-to-watch-with-friends comedy. So perfect in fact, there wasn't a time where I wasn't at least smiling. It's humor is somewhat dated and slightly stupid, but it's actors carry it so well.
Jun 17, 2011A fantastic comedy film. It is incredibly funny, and well acted. The writing is brilliant, as is the premise. There are at least 7 moments for which I was laughing uncontrollably. It is easily the best collaboration between McKay and Ferrell, and a great movie all around.
May 19, 2011Adam McKay. Need I say more? This movie is my favorite comedy of all time. I loved every moment of it. Is it inappropriate, and crude humor? YES. Is it one of the most quotable movies of all time? YES. This (imo) is Will Ferrell's best film. I still watch it religiously. Should you see this movie? YES. But I am not you.
May 11, 2011
Apr 28, 2011A truly hilarious movie from start to finish. I must have seen this film at least 10 times and never have I found it boring. This is largely because Anchorman contains some classic quotes and great performances, with a large number of enjoyable cameos. The film never degenerates into a period where the laughs dry up, unlike many other Will Ferrell movies, and is a masterpiece of comedy.
Jan 18, 2011If you don't like Will Ferrell's style of comedy don't even give this one a try. If you do like his comedy then Anchorman is a must and is one of the funnier movies you will watch.
Oct 18, 2010Quotable and superb comedy. I'm not the biggest fan of Will Ferrel but this is one of the few movies where he pulls it out of the bag for me. 'Gonna find my baby,gonna hold her tight, gonna get some afternoon delight'.
ratethismovieAug 14, 2009
booloolooMar 16, 2009Between my 3 friends at school and me we have seen this 43 times. Brilliance from Adam Mckay.
TjEJan 21, 2009A very funny movie. I don't think anyone who appreciates comedy can watch this without laughing once. Be warned however, Anchorman isn't for everybody. People who don't like random jokes or watch movies only for plot will not enjoy Anchorman. Everyone else will fall in love with it.
ClintT.Mar 1, 2008It
aimeeJan 22, 2008This film is hilarious, will farrel is one funny man, I could watch this film over and over and it would never get old. Two phumbs up.
JesusC.Jan 18, 2008Extremely funny. Will Ferrel's best by far.
JustinP.Dec 5, 2007One of my all time favourite comedies.
IanM.Sep 17, 2007The arousal this movie gave me was painful in its intensity.
SophieJul 31, 2007Fantastic comedy.. just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Some of the lines are priceless and instant classics. I can watch this movie again and again and not get bored.
DickO.Jun 23, 2007To be honest, i cant handle to much dumbass comedy like Adam Sandler as such but this was in a whole different class of dumbass, absolute class.
MarkJ.Mar 30, 2007Terrible! Boring! I thought this movie woul be fun to watch, but it was total crap!
TyJ.Feb 20, 2007Funniest movie of recent times, and, upon further reflection, we can see a glimmer of what the 70's were like, gender equality struggles, and I think we can all see a bit of ourselves in the sweet, although conceited, Ron Burgundy as played by Will Ferrell.
JohnR.Oct 11, 2006Will Ferrell is hilarious once again. The man is good. I mean really good. The movie is filled with so many great quotes that no one can help but use in their everyday life. Two thumbs way up for this masterpiece.
CharlieD.Oct 3, 2006One of the best films ever, this truly is Will Farrell at his best....
JoshuaS.Aug 11, 2006
TinaS.Aug 4, 2006hilarious...absolutley hystarical.
FrancoH.Aug 2, 2006It's Anchorman! It's on Bravo's top 100 funniest movies of all-time! So that must mean something.
MatthewL.Aug 1, 2006
FelixQ.Jul 25, 2006
MikeH.Jul 10, 2006I thought Anchorman was great, and the movie is incessantly replayable. Typical comedy cliches are turned inside out and made original and the casting is inspired. There seem to be a fair few negative reviews, I guess the irony of the entire film was lost on some. To each to his own i suppose.
WillieG.May 23, 2006
RobP.Mar 30, 2006If i could have given this movie a 11 then i would have in the blink of an eye! First saw the movie over a year ago and me and my mates still laugh and make quotes from it today. Pure genius!
FraserW.Mar 12, 2006When i aw tis i was laughing so hard in the theater that i almost got kicked out even though the story line looks like it came out of a cows but i enjoyed the hell out of it... Overall: B-
FrankO.Jan 25, 2006Very funny movie but what should you expect with Will Ferrell in it; plotline and characters got a little old after awhile..interesting concept and a retro look at television news.
RitaP.Jan 24, 2006Gold, absolute gold. If you don't love this film then frankly you have tired of life and should confine yourself to your bed waiting for the inevitable. Otherwise join the rest of us in marvelling at the comedic genius of Will Ferrell and co.
AndrewHNov 22, 2005Old School was funny, and Elf was enjoyable enough to watch twice. This, on the other hand, is an insipid waste of time. If you laugh at this, you'll laugh at anything.
RodDogAug 29, 2005The entire cast is hillarious is this fun filled 70's theme movie.
JanetKAug 14, 2005This movie should be a cult classic like Rocky Horror! We should be going to see it at midnight showings for 20+years. Shout it from a mountain top!
DaveFAug 9, 2005Hilarious movie. This is SNL skit-cinema at its (almost) best, with far more laughs than groans. The surprise a capella "Afternoon Delight" was surprisingly well-done, too. It works because it's inversely ironic--a piece of real class set against a ridiculously silly and crude movie.
JakeAug 4, 2005If you hate this show because it's dumb, pull your head out. News Flash, it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be a damn artsie film. It made me laugh more than any movie in a long time, so it deserves a 10!
JoelA.Jul 18, 2005The best movie... How can you not love it?!
Mr.BJul 9, 2005As far as comedy goes, this is pretty funny. Not the best, but worth adding to you dvd collection. If you put too much thought into it, its not going to be a perfect movie, but who really cares, it succeeds in entertaining and making you laugh. Anyone who gives this a 1 should get a life and lighten up!
RobertS.May 23, 2005
BrianO.Apr 12, 2005The first time I watched Anchorman I would have given it a 6. But the more you talk about it and watch it with your friends, the funnier it becomes! Its definately a quotable movie. If you didnt like it at first, I suggest watching it with a group of friends because.."Sixty percent of the time, it works EVERY time"
JimW.Apr 4, 2005This movie was so bad. I didn't laugh a single time. I love stupid comedies (Airplane, Dumb and Dumber, etc) but this moive was just terrible. What version of the 70's did they live in, anyway? The video Sabatoge by the Beastie Boys looks more like the 70's than this hunk of shit. Avoid it at all cost.
ArthurO.Feb 23, 2005Saw this a long time ago, but I need to say something. This movie is awesome, its too bad that people like ashish and most critics cannot laugh at these great, stupid comedies. That's why brain-dead movies like Million Dollar Baby are up for an Oscar. For those of you who like to actually laugh while watching a movie, pick this up if you haven't already.
KevinE.Feb 7, 2005Slop. I kept waiting for it to rise above 'Bio Dome' stature but it just wouldn't. Finally pulled the plug after the umpteenth ploppy floppy dud of a go-nowhere punchline delivered by - take your pick (= to about 18 minutes into this bomb).
MarcusMFeb 7, 2005A halarious movie packed with witty lines and cool characters. The cameos are great too! Hands down, Will Farrell is one of the funniest men alive.
AshishC.Feb 5, 2005Hard to believe the studios allowed such a hackneyed script to be made into a film.. it is targeted at the lowest common denominator of mankind.
bmJan 26, 2005Delightful!
MattJan 25, 2005How can you not love this movie?! Hysterically funny, GREAT quotes! The next Zoolander.
PeterJ.Jan 21, 2005A good solid comedy. Not Will Ferrell at his best, but a very good performance nonetheless.
BorisG.Jan 21, 2005Pure genius!! Anchorman incorporates a diverse range of comedic techniques which provides the audience with constant laughter and entertainment. Through incorporating an array of different personalties into the film, it creates a pleasurable and enjoyable atmosphere.
NavinRJan 12, 2005This is a terrible movie unless you are a Will Ferrel lover.
BurtonM.Jan 12, 2005Another comedy masterpiece from will farrel. Hilarious. Especially if you are old enough to remember the 70's.
MitchM.Jan 10, 2005The film really nails things like Ron's hair, his clothes, his arching eyebrow, period details, and the artifice of his personna. The rest of it is all rather flat. ELF is a far superior vehicle for WF. (yawn)
LAhaJan 10, 2005One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Will Farrell is absolutely amazing in a role that he was born to play!
TylerN.Jan 9, 2005Suprisingly funny. Anchorman may have some slow and unnecessary sequences but other than that it is pretty much Will Farrell material. Not only is it funny, but it also one of the few movies I enjoy seeing more than once.
LouisSJan 8, 2005This was awful. Worst film I've ever watched!!!
DaveM.Jan 7, 2005This film was not as funny as I had hoped it would be but was still worth seeing. The scene in the jazz club was priceless!
CalamariJ.Jan 7, 2005A really funny movie with many cool cameos. Christina Applegate is spot on with her acting. Ferell and her have a great chemistry which makes this movie so damn funny.
TeddyGJan 6, 2005Underrated Ferrel vehicle significantly funnier than "Elf" or "Dodgeball," I think it has a few moments better than "Old School," despite its occasional descent into not-funny stupid. (i.e. the fight scene)
MattFDec 29, 2004My rating for this movie is very simple. If you like Will Ferrel, you will love this movie. If you don't, then I would avoid it.
NickR.Aug 19, 2004Even though this movie had a horrible plot, it was hilarious. It started off slow, but then sped up a lot.
HarrisonB.Aug 8, 2004I thought Anchorman was going to be real funny. It was. Yet, there were a few stupid parts in it. Will Ferrel was very good, and I thought Steven Carell was the most hilarious. Okay, but it needs less crude humor.
WillferrelloverAug 6, 2004AMAZING. The jokes were hilarious i think this movie was as good as pokemon heroes!
YanaS.Aug 5, 2004Horrible!!! After so much hype about this movie i can say that none of it was true. Will Ferrell was stupid and everyone else in the cast was no better. I kept thinking it would get better, but unfortunetly it never did. Like others said: Painfully boring!!! and overall stupid the laughs just arent there.
MikeN.Aug 5, 2004Dull, disappointing, and just plain not funny. Did any thought go into the making of this piece of crap? Do yourself a favor and go see something else.
AlanL.Aug 2, 2004
LebnY.Jul 31, 2004This movie had funny moments, but it lacked humor in some parts. Will Ferrell is funny, but he could have been hilarious.
DaveH.Jul 30, 2004This movie was painfully boring. i may have cracked a smile once but other than that it was an hour and a half of wondering why i paid $9.50 to be bored. im not sure who would find this movie funny if i, a fifteen year old boy, found the humor stupid, crude, and immature.
BrianJul 27, 2004
KristinJul 27, 2004Mr. Ferrell, what happened here? I thought this movie was going to be laugh-out-loud-hilarious, not flat and boring. I just stared at a screen with nothing but a blank screen with people on it. I did not laugh at all. I just slept. Honestly, depressed Earnest Hemingway could have written a more comedic script. Deeply disappointing, Will Ferrell.
MediaMaverickJul 24, 2004I was really looking forward to going to a funny movie and 'laughing like an idiot', as one reviewer noted. I was sooooo disappointed. I really wanted to like this one but it just didn't hit any marks.
Wonderfully silly all the time.
Ferrell, of course, has his moments. But he doesn't have an engaging "center" as a comedian.
I can't help but feel that a funny movie was waiting to be unearthed amid all this self-congratulation and juvenile prankishness.

This has quickly become a favorite spot for me. I just put my printout on the dashboard, in the window, and go. I don't care for someone else getting my keys, or moving my car, so this is great.
It was great!!
good and easy
Easy! Easy! Easy! I planned my day down to where I was going to park and this saved me time and the parking headache.
Got there Friday, little after 9am. Surprisingly, I actually had a choice of parking spots. Across the street: Jones College Prep. 2 blocks away: Harold Washington library and DePaul's Loop campus. Good, affordable spot if you want to walk through the Loop, especially down State Street.
As good today as yesterday
This is a surface lot in the south Loop. This location is less than a block away from Columbia College, and only 2 blocks from Grant Park.
This location is a commercial parking lot.
Preferred parking for Grant Park, Auditorium Theatre, Hilton Hotel, The Chicago Club, Buddy Guy's Legends.

East Asian Art Lidded Sutra Box with Design of Peonies, Leafy Fronds, and Long-Tailed Birds Made in Japan, AsiaMomoyama Period (1568-1615), Late 16th century Artist/maker unknown, Japanese Black lacquer on wood with gold lacquer decoration Currently not on view 2002-197-1a,b Purchased with the Hollis Family Foundation Fund, 2002 |
LabelThis box was made to contain sutras, the sacred texts of Buddhism. The gold lacquer motif on the lid and sides is the so-called hosoge karakusa pattern: the imaginary hosoge (jewel-faced flower) is probably based on the peony and is closely associated with Buddhism, while karakusa (Chinese grasses) refers to the vine motifs that originated with the early Buddhist implements imported to Japan in the sixth century. The floral design was created by sprinkling a light layer of gold dust on a ground of black lacquer. |
