People go to theatre for various reasons, whether it's to inject culture into their lives or for the security you're overcome with in a dark theatre. But it seems rare for those to go beyond the secular and enter a theatre for the spiritual. Fire Exit Theatre is a theatre company wanting audiences to leave their performance with a bit of hope. And this year Fire Exit Theatre does just that, celebrating their third season with Hitler. Or at least his image adorns the poster for their production of Douglas Anderson's The Beams are Creaking.
Based on the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Beams are Creaking follows the pastor/poet/musician/all around good guy conspiring to kill Hitler. It presents the play with its interesting dilemma. "I love the story of a moral dilemma," says artistic director and founding member of Fire Exit Val Lieske. "Do you sacrifice one conviction and hopefully save millions from dying or do you hold fast that killing is wrong? This is definitely the kind of stories we love to tell, where it makes you think about how do you integrate you faith into real life when the really hard issues come along. How does that play out?"
In the case of Bonhoeffer, the need to save many wins out and he plots to kill Hitler. What follows is his imprisonment and doubts as to whether he's made a difference or done the right thing. Faith? Beliefs? Religion? What if all that gives audiences the icks? Well that's still not enough to discourage Fire Exit.
"I'm not different than any other artistic director, I want to tell good stories," says Lieske. "Our tagline is 'hope, challenge, change.' A little bit of hope, we want to challenge your thinking and we want you to leave here changed. That you laughed a little bit more, that you're a little bit more pissed off. Whatever. I want you to leave saying 'wow that didn't really sit right.'"
The Beams are Creaking is a co-production with the Prairie Bible College and most of the cast is a part of the drama program there. It seems everybody was enraptured by it, and director Blaine McDonald is no different. "I heard about this play five years ago and I read it. It's been one of my favourite plays ever since," says McDonald. "But it's a huge cast, there are 33 characters in all. [It seemed] a mammoth task."
So remember, if you see posters around with a photo of Hitler on it, chances are it's not advertising the neo-nazi club starting up on campus. Nor is it suggesting this year's Christmas pageant at the local church will feature an elf, a reindeer and an out of sorts prospector befriending a giant Hitler who then would get to put the star on the giant Christmas tree at Santa's Workshop.
The Beams are Creaking plays at the Engineered Air Theatre from Nov. 24–27. Tickets are only $10 for students.

Osaka Hosts 11th Women's Event
Osaka, Japan, May 31, 2004 - The women's SWATCH-FIVB World Tour returns to Tannowa Beach for the 11th-straight season as the Olympic qualifying process for the Athens 2004 Games continues when the world's top Beach Volleyball players compete in the Japan Open in Osaka for US$180,000 in prize money.
Competition begins Wednesday (June 2) with the first of two days of qualifying. Thrity-two (32) teams will be competing in the Qualification Tournament that determines the final eight berths in the double-elimination Main Draw, which begins Friday with 40 matches to advance 16 teams to Saturday's rounds.
Another 18 matches will be played Saturday with four teams advancing to Sunday's semi-finals and medal matches. The "final four" tandems will be competing for $70,000 in prize money with the winning team sharing the $27,000 for capturing the gold medal.
Brazilian women will be seeking their eight-straight Japanese title as Osaka, the "City of Water," has become synonymous with Beach Volleyball. Osaka has hosted more SWATCH-FIVB World Tour events than any other international site with teams from Australia, Brazil and the United States winning titles.
The United States (1994 and 1995) and Australia (1996) won the first three events before Brazil started its run in 1997 when Mônica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel captured the title by defeating Maike Friedrichsen and Danja Musch of Germany in the final. Both Mônica and Musch will be competing this season, but with different partners.
Five-time Osaka gold medallists Shelda Bede and Adriana Behar will be making their eighth-straight appearance on Tannowa Beach this season. The Brazilian pair started their run of titles in 1998 before having their gold medal streak snapped in 2003 when Brazilian rivals Ana Paula Connelly and Sandra Pires defeated them in the final.
After opening women's Olympic qualifying events in Brazil, Greece and China, the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour departs Osaka for a weekend off before the final three Olympic qualifying events in Switzerland, Germany and Norway. The Beach Volleyball competition at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games will be played August 14-25.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Radim Vrbata, Phoenix's leader this season with 35 goals, took part in the morning skate Saturday and will play against Chicago in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
"He's going to play," Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said.
Vrbata was injured Thursday in the first shift of a 3-2 overtime win in Game 1 when he took a hard hit along the boards from Chicago's Andrew Shaw. Vrbata went down hard and skated off the ice in a crouch.
But the man who was responsible for one out of every six Phoenix goals this season took part in the morning skate at Jobing.com Arena and is ready to go as the Coyotes seek to take a 2-0 lead in a playoff series for the first time since moving to Arizona in 1996.

WATE's Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars Super Blogger
Dancing with the All-Stars Week Three is here and it was nothing short of fierce, fiery, and fantastic. The celebrities were given the control over which dance they performed, as well as any special affects they wanted to incorporate. While some couples went minimal on the stage props and spectaculars, others used this new found freedom to the hilt.
Drew and Anna had fireworks while Gilles flew through the air. Shawn and Derrick flipped out over the use of trampolines, and Kirstie Alley yet again kept us grinning and laughing at both her routine and her crazy antics.
It was sad to see Joey Fatone head home last week.His spunk and his energy made him one of my all-time favorites, but as I stated in last week's blog, his dance just wasn't up to par in comparison to the other dancers.
Melissa and Tony delivered one of their best performances yet. I wish the camera had been a bit closer in the beginning to see the crazy body contortions and trickery they had going on, but their samba blew me away. Melissa definitely is a dancer at heart, and this performance was one for the history books. It was fun, fast, and precise, and I completely loved it. And so did the judges, because they were awarded the first set of 9's by all of the judges and a high score of 27.
Right along with that theme of bringing it, was Kelly Monaco and Valentin Chmerkovsky. Once again wardrobe hit it on the mark with their outfits and Val just oozes that sexiness with every step he takes and word he says. (Except of course, when he mocks Kelly for her age.) I've still got Kelly ranked as my number one choice for taking it home in the end. Her Paso Doble was flawless. Her arm definition was sharp. She did as the judges requested and performed "bigger" and they gracefully made use of the entire floor.
The judges felt this was Kelly's defining performance and I fully agree. Ending the night up at the top with Melissa and Tony, they also received the highest scores given with a 27.
Be on the look-out, though, Melissa and Kelly. Shawn and Sabrina are sneaking up to you and these two tough little blonde girls may be small in size but they are big in competition.
Shawn didn't hold back last night incorporating new moves, stunts, and an amazing costume. Her quickstep was just 1.5 points shy of being up there with the top couples and I think she's proven her ability to dance in this competition. She is slowly gaining new ground by pushing the barriers and stepping outside of everyone's comfort zone.
Which, speaking of comfort zone, I really wish Sabrina would gain the confidence she deserves to have and let that little wild side show. Between her shocking elimination during her season of Dancing with the Stars and the critique to gain a little more control after her first dance, I think she is pulling back on the reins too much. Luckily for her though, her ability still shines through and she was able to end the night with an impressive score of 25.5.
While the girls are totally dominating the dance floor, we can't forget to mention some A+ performances from our gentlemen.
Yet again, Gilles stole the show, gracefully moving around the floor, not only making use of the props, but OWNING them. Gille and a bed? How could that possibly go wrong! He had strong arms, strong kicks, and stayed in character the entire time. The judges felt he lost his footing a few times, but I honestly paid minimal attention to where his feet were because I was so captivated by his grace and charm.
Another top male performance last night, was from Drew Lachay. And I can FINALLY see why he won season 2! The past two weeks I seriously questioned his ability, but last night he stepped it up and really took control of both the dance and the audience. I loved his interaction, the smile on his face, and the obvious fun he was having- maybe even a little bit too much fun with that booty popping and hip pumping. We did see that's how he has two babies already, so maybe we should be on the look-out for baby #3 to be making his or her debut 9 months from now?!?
Apollo and Emmitt seem to be holding steady on medium ground yet again this week. Emmitt impressively kicked off the season in week one, but I feel like his performances haven't progressed in comparison to the other contestants, and as the weeks go on that may have him going from where I once thought he could win this entire thing, to being in jeopardy of an elimination. I was surprised that after two weeks of loud colors, big movements, and fast music that Apollo toned it down and the only prop he really seemed to use were the statues in the background.
Carrie Ann seemed to love the dance, but her remarks throughout the season have made it clear that she "loves her some Apollo," so he could probably do a low key version of a country line dance with an attempt at the jive or quickstep in it and still be praised. Oh wait, that dance has been done.
Which leads us to Bristol. Was the footage up to her performance displaying her dramatic emotional breakdown necessary? Was showing us that she clearly had a moment (or 5) of weakness and stormed off beneficial to their stay on the show? It didn't convince me to vote for them, even though I do like to watch her. I'll probably enjoy it more on her reality show than on a dance show. Her costumes were fun, and the chess board that lit up the stage was probably one of my favorite sceneries of the night, but her performance yet again was far behind the others.
Rounding out the bottom with her is both Helio and Kirstie. Helio's performance was off last night, and as much as I enjoy watching him, I didn't love last nights performance, and felt slightly awkward for him during it. Kirstie is Kirstie, and she rocks the fact that dancing is not her strongest area, but personality it. I voted for this girl JUST because I love to watch her interactions with Maks, and her goofy ways during the rehearsals and interviews. Can we have a reality show that just follows her around?!
I think we've got another week or two of really being able to pinpoint who is in jeopardy of going home, but pretty soon the competition is going to get crazy. I foresee these celebrities surprising us with even greater performances, more extravagant stunt work, and a closet full of secret shockers waiting to be burst open.
Remember though, don't assume your favorite person will be around next week just because you think everyone else is voting for them, YOU have to ensure their safety yourself so call, text, or Facebook your favorites to keep them around!
Until next time…

My wife and I were thinking of headed down to the dessert mid Feb. to do Castleton tower, North chimney most likely. Any locals wanna give their opinion on how uncomfortable this route would be in the middle of Feb. If you think its a bad idea I am open to suggestions, or dry canyons near by. your input is appreciated. Danger-Russ
I climbed the North Face the first weekend of December and it wasn't bad. Highs were in the mid-50s I believe and we wore a long sleeve base layer with windbreaker. The Kor-Ingalls would be a bit more comfortable, though, as it's South facing and only slightly more difficult. On a windy February day Castleton will be rather miserable. So it really depends on the prevailing weather.
We did Ancient Art, Jah Man, and Kor Ingalls in a weekend last January and were fine. All these routes get good sun. North Chimney in the shade might be a different experience though.
I think it would be really cold but you won't need feeling in your fingers to do the chimney pitches.
We've done it in March without wind. It was cold in there. Hat, fleece, long pants, warm base layer shirt. It was cold enough to shiver and dislike waiting to climb. I'd consider hand warmers as a just in case. That being said, it's easier than Kor-Ingalls, but the slight difficulty difference and sunshine might make the KI worth switching to (if you haven't done it). The sun on top made us stop shivering.
north facing chimney in winter. sounds pretty cold. jah man is very south facing and sunny...
Could be nice, could be snowing. Have had it both ways. Check the forecast before climbing! Even on a warm day if it has BEEN cold, the air coming out of that crack will freeze you.
Thanks for the input guys! I think my wife might want to opt out for a different adventure

It's a return to league action this weekend, and with just three games to go, the race for the top six, and with it Heineken Cup qualification, for next season is now really hotting up.
Wasps face a run of Leicester (away), Exeter (home) and Sale (away) in a bid to pick up as many points as possible, and Young says the three game-run will get of to a very tough start this Sunday.
"There probably isn't a tougher fixture in club rugby than playing away at Welford Road – very few teams actually go there and get anything out of it even when Leicester aren't playing that well, let alone when they are playing well like they are at the moment," Young said.
"We know how tough it is going to be, but with three games left we're aiming to get as much as we can out of it and hope it is enough to get us that top six spot. They won't be in too dissimilar a position as us in that both sides have had a tough few weeks and we are both probably a bit battered at the moment. We are certainly carrying a lot of bumps and bruises and we are expecting to make quite a few changes for this game due to what we've been through over the last couple of weeks."
Leicester are in good form in the league and are in second place chasing a home semi-final, but Young says there is huge motivation for his side this weekend.
"By their own admission, if anything Leicester don't seem to start the best and they always come strong towards the end of the season so we are certainly playing them at a tough time. but in saying that there is a huge amount at stake for us as well. We've been through a bit of a losing streak and we've got to just get back on the horse and go up there and give it everything we've got and continue that for these last three games. We think that if we can win two out of the three remaining games, that hopefully may be enough to get us in the top six but all we can do now is go for it and hope it will be enough. A top six finish would be fantastic for us and a huge achievement given where we were 12 months ago and we'll be doing everything we can to get it."
Wasps have one crucial remaining home game against Exeter Chiefs on Sunday, April 21, KO 14:00.

Sarah: Graysmith undermines his own argument, frequently. Not in the last ten minutes. But some of the connections he draws in his research (and the film actually minimizes the miasma of bonko that attends some of his writings in real life) are from the land of tinfoil hats.
Mike: Sarah, I think Graysmith is dead wrong, for the record. Having spent a lot of time researching the case (from long, long before the movie was made—starting in 1981), I'm convinced Allen was not the Zodiac. Just a sidenote.
Sarah: I don't think it's him either. He has the most circumstantial evidence arrayed against him; it wouldn't have gotten him convicted. I do think the movie wants us to think that it's probably Allen...despite Graysmith, not because of Graysmith.
Matt: It's kind of funny in retrospect to see Zero Dark Thirty, knowing about its production history. It went into preproduction before they caught Bin Laden, and it was supposed to be more like Zodiac, as I understand it: a movie about living with not knowing, or without justice, whatever that means to you. Then they killed Bin Laden, and there was closure! History intervened with notes instead of the studio. And yet the two movies still have a lot in common, including a kind of mysterious, the-ground-is-shifting-under-our-feet vibe, coupled with a definite outcome and a lone wolf protagonist that we root for, and believe might be right.
I'm fascinated by movies like Zodiac -- movies that adopt what seem to be very conventional approaches and then frustrate the hell out of us. Our moviegoing DNA is encoded with particular expectations, which Zodiac refuses to satisfy. We get a few inches from the finish line, but we don't go over. In some ways I think that's more radical than if it had taken a more "art film" approach, a Blow-Up or The Conversation kind of approach.
Sarah: I wonder if that says more about the subject than the directorial approach?
Matt: Maybe it says more about the audience!
Sarah: It does in my case. Heh. "Lindbergh baby? I hope you bitches packed a lunch."
Mike: See, in the end, for me, it kind of boils down to this: If your goal is to reveal more and more and more but ultimately leave the viewer hanging in the way you describe, why in heaven's name would you have the last thing in the movie be a victim saying, very forthrightly, "Last time I saw this face was July 4, 1969. I'm very sure that's the man who shot me." CUT TO BLACK. (Followed by a bunch of chyrons further implicating Allen.) It just doesn't make sense to me.
Matt: Well, I think you're making the ending sound more definite than it actually feels -- or more definite than it felt to me, anyway. We know they never caught the Zodiac. All they had were hunches.

Sorry, I know this is a tangent--I enjoyed the conversation. But I'm completely distracted by the Lizzie Borden a technically open case where everyone knows who did it but no charges were filed?
Richard | January 29, 2013 3:00 AM
This is such a funny debate. I'm now going to show you what it says in the screenplay. This should leave the ambiguity at the door.
Graysmith walks through the aisles. Looking for someone. Finally spots him. A HEAVY BALD CLERK. Stocking merchandise. Graysmith walks up to him. The clerk flashes a smile.
The clerk's nameplate reads "Bob". He wears a "Z" ring on his finger. A Zodiac watch on his wrist.
Meet ROBERT HALL STARR.
They stand three feet away. Graysmith stares at him. looking him in the eye. Searching...
Starr's smile fades. Realizing why Graysmith's there. What he's thinking. He frowns. His face transforms. And at once we can see how terrifying this man really could be.
They hold each other's gaze for what seems like forever...
And Starr finally looks away.
Graysmith blinks. Once. Getting what he came here for.
Knowing for sure.
Graysmith turns and walks out of the store
I would say Fincher's interpretation of how that is written is completely on point. I read that and the scene flashed in my mind. Bear in mind, this is how the draft of the script ends. Before this there's a scene where Graysmith lays out his argument the best he can, compiled from all the evidence that is there. And it's convincing. Basically the point of this scene is he would never be able to prove it with evidence, but his gut feeling told him he was always right and that was as good as it was going to get.
Tony Gault | January 28, 2013 8:48 PM
I've always loved ZODIAC and its "chasing its own tail" narrative. Fincher, I believe, pays homage to another similar film, THE SHINING (and its legions of film analysis conspiracy theorists) in a scene where Graysmith is on the phone and his wife is hounding him in the background.
At about 1 hour 58 minutes, we see a can of Calumet baking powder in the background (a key element in another SF Chronicle reporter Bill Blakemore's analysis of THE SHINING that claims Kubrick was making a film about Native American annihilation. Then we hear Graysmith's wife say in the background, "Your toast is burning." Is this a reference to THE SHINING's chef, Halloran who says, âWhen something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind â say like if someone burns toast.â
Talk about chasing my tail....

Aaron Aradillas | January 28, 2013 8:42 PM
To put it bluntly: Mr. D'Angelo is so convincd there is no ambiguity in ZODIAC that he refuses to acknowledge there is long after multiple viewers have provided enough examples to the contrary.
Kris Pigna | January 28, 2013 7:48 PM
Boy, not sure where to start. But I love this movie, so let me jump in here...
"I see Graysmith becoming increasingly convinced that he knows who did it, and increasingly frustrated that he can't definitively prove it."
I think that gets exactly at the crux of it. I see what Mike is saying about how "Graysmith lays out all the evidence against Allen, a victim IDs Allen, etc.," and that he feels there's not enough in the movie undermining these things to justify it's "ambiguous" ending. But I think, with respect, he might be underestimating what it is that the characters -- or at least Graysmith -- are seeking. For Graysmith in particular, I don't think it's enough to just make a good "closing argument." He needs to know beyond a shadow of a doubt.
And I think there is, in fact, enough of a counter-argument made. In the scene Mike cites where Graysmith lays out his argument to Toschi at the diner, Toschi DOES seem fairly convinced, sure, but he still brings up the handwriting experts ruling out Allen, and points out that most of what Graysmith is basing his case on is circumstantial evidence. And when Graysmith comes just a hair too close to suggesting that shouldn't matter, Toschi (as Aaron noted) chastises him: "Easy, Dirty Harry" -- recalling their meeting during a screening of the film. And I think that's the key to it all. Even if Graysmith constructed an argument that seems heavily convincing, the fact that it was never enough to get a conviction (let alone an arrest) will always leave a shard of doubt.
As for the final scene, I loved it, but then I also saw it not as a final piece of evidence nailing Allen, but as a final example of just how futile the obsession had become by that point. Yes, Mageau's last words are "I'm very sure that's the man who shot me," but JUST BEFORE that, on a scale of 1-10, he's only able to peg his certainty at "at least an eight," which never struck me as particularly convincing. But even more concerning, he's ID-ing a man over 20 YEARS after the incident -- which, again, would never hold up in court.
But ultimately, I think that discussing whether the movie is "ambiguous," insofar as whether it makes a strong enough case for identifying the Zodiac killer, is in a certain sense the wrong discussion. Whether or not the movie makes the case for a suspect is not, to me, what makes the movie "ambiguous" or "unambiguous." I think it's ABOUT ambiguity, and is therefore unambiguously about ambiguity...if that makes sense? Or in other words, it's very plainly about what it's about, but it just so happens to be about ambiguity -- about the frustration of seeking airtight closure that never comes. That's why the ending, and the movie as a whole, is so satisfying for me -- it denies us conventional satisfaction as far as who the Zodiac was, but in doing so it commits to its true subject, which is in fact that very denial of conventional satisfaction.
And on one final, admittedly self-serving note, I found the comparison to Zero Dark Thirty fascinating since I -- cough cough, ahem -- recently made a similar comparison myself. :) http://semicoherentmusings.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/the-many-interpretations-of-zero-dark-thirty/

Wait, Tony Soprano isn't dead? I thought he got shot by the guy in the Members Only jacket. Am I gonna have to re-think the finale?
Steven M | January 28, 2013 5:25 PM
Mike is correct in that Fincher certainly believes that ALA was the Zodiac killer. There is no other logical reading of this film and just as Graysmith says "just because you can't prove it doesn't mean it's not true." Matt is engaging in the worst kind of psuedo-intellectualism here and ignoring the text (Isn't Matt the same guy who thinks Tony Soprano is still alive?). The ambigious part of the film is really about the nature of obsession (which is what the film is really about) and frusturation of never being 100% certain about anything.
Garibaldi | January 28, 2013 3:49 PM
This D'Angelo guy just doesn't get it. His side of the conversation is almost as tone-deaf as his Zero Dark Thirty piece.
The whole point, the whole communicated message of the film is that despite all the mountains of circumstantial evidence that point to ALA being the Zodiac Killer, despite everything that Graysmith and Toschi find that convinces them that Allen did it, there will never be enough to prove it was him.
In the ending -- I can't even believe how far off the mark D'Angelo is on this one -- after the moment that could be the single most convincing piece of evidence (the only witness identification of Z), even after a moment of "certainty", Fincher immediately undercuts that moment by telling us that the DNA didn't match ALA!
The sequence basically plays out like this:
Mageau: "I am very certain that's the man who shot me."
Text, paraphrased, obviously: DNA TELLS US THAT ALLEN PROBABLY ISN'T THE MAN WHO SHOT HIM.
I'm not trying to attack you, Mr. D'Angelo, but you've missed the point so much on this one, I had to say something.
Aaron Aradillas | January 28, 2013 2:55 PM
The use of the different actors to play Zodiac is an echo of Hitchcock's PSYCHO. Hitch had different people play "Mother," but not the actual actor who was "Mother." Fincher knew if he had one actor play Zodiac that would give audiences an excuse that one particular person was the killer. (If memory serves, we don't see the "Zodiac" who picks up Ione Skye on the highway. On the commentary Fincher states he never believed this incidewnt to be part of the Zodiac mythology. Explains why we never "see" this one.)
One of the key lines in the movie is when Graysmith tells Toschi "Just becuse you can't prove it doens't mean it isn't true." Toschi replies with the one clunker in the script: "Easy Dirty Harry." That's the difference between Fincher's movie and most other procedurals. Dirty Harry ALWAYS knew whodunit. ZODIAC is about being sure but not 100% certain.
People who buy into Graysmith's theory without thinking are clearly not paying attention to Fincher's intent. I've always been bothered that no one follows up with the inclusive handwriting samples. According the Sherwood (Philip Baker Hall), the samples match except for one letter. Why?
One separate note: Has anyone noticed that ZERO DARK THIRTY resembles ZODIAC both in structure and intent? The only difference is that we know for certain who did it. The masterstroke of ZD30 is its ending suggests, like ZODIAC, even vanquishing the boogeyman won't solve much.
twicks | January 28, 2013 2:47 PM
The film is compelling precisely because, like Graysmith, we feel the frustration of nearly everything pointing to Leigh Allen, while at the same time we lack the crucial evidence to decisively act on it.
The police donât have the evidence they needâ¦and Fincher wisely deprives us of the âvisual evidenceâ we need and are accustomed to (the sort of Scooby-Doo ending most movies give us, with flashbacks to all the murder scenes throughout the movie, only with closeups of Leigh Allen doing the shooting/stabbing).
To me, thatâs more interesting than turning Leigh Allen into a certified Dead End and concluding the film with a big, âOh well, weâre STUMPED.â
Grego | January 28, 2013 12:58 PM
I know this article is about whether the film is ultimately ambiguous or unambiguous, but I think something important is being lost here. The ending is perfect as it is because it shows a haunted man. The haunted man, a victim of the Zodiac, is visibly affected by his ongoing trauma. Sure, he "definitively" fingers the "correct" photo, but I think the scene is less about how certain Mageau is and more about how HAUNTED he is. Everyone in the film is haunted, and to me that is a very ambiguous feeling. The feeling I get at the end of the film is not one of certainty, but of a very haunted uncertainty. The end, which basically confirms Allen as the killer yet also says that he dies before he could be picked up and that the DNA evidence does not match, is also incredibly haunting, definitively ambiguous. Ok Mike D'Angelo?
Klay | January 28, 2013 9:18 AM
I would have to say, undoubtedly, that the average viewer sees this film as containing a tight resolution. I've watched it with multiple people I'd consider casual film-viewers--one of which is my dad, who scoff's at any stiff of an open-ended movie (re: The Imposter: "We watched that whole damn movie, and we still don't know what happened to the damn kid!!!")--and all of them agree that the film establishes Allen as the killer. It's all in the ending, and that "sense" of resolution is there.
But the key being that resolution is there if you want it to be. I think what these viewers wanted was a tight, "truth-centered" drama with a resolution, and, to their mind, it was delivered (expect for maybe the tight-ness). But as you've all discussed, if you're paying attention to the script, and to the way the film builds and builds upon the theme of obsession to no good end, you'll realize that the ending offers no clear resolution, and we're left with much of the same questions we began with.
Thanks for this. I love seeing smart critics like yourselves debate a very minute detail, but one that certainly illuminates a lot of elements that make the film great. Well done.

Thanks A! I really liked the Apre Yoga jacket last year with really cute logo liner, and I loved the bomber jacket so it will be interesting to try this on and see how similar it is to the one last year. Hopefully it has that cute liner.ReplyDelete
what store had the Oasis Cross Train photos?
oh dear, I love the striped one already and only brought it home for a 'visit'.... uh oh!
I really wanted to like this top, but didn't end up buying it. The ruching didn't appeal to me when on like I thought it would. And the luxtreme just isn't very forgiving AT ALL. Holding out for the run inspire pullover!ReplyDelete
Cheryl, I saw it here on the legacy place page http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4721063&id=123841143317#!/photo.php?pid=4787727&id=123841143317&fbid=420222213317
there was another US store that had a picture but I can't remember which one.
I like the top in this color combo.
I don't know how to decide between this one and the Run: Inspire top. Can't justify both! What does the Crosstrain pullover cost?
I believe the crosstrain pullover is in the $98 range. Would you use both for running frequently? It may be worth picking up both and then selling whichever one you would get less use out of (keep tags on of course) on the exchange page. I think luxtreme and running luon are both useful running items but I think the running luon is a bit more cold weather wile luxtreme is more cool weather.ReplyDelete

Last week, when the David Hann scandal began to unfold, the first story ("Conflict of Interest? David Hann, GOP Health Insurance Salesman") contained the screenshot to the right. And that's because that screenshot is what started this story. Here's what that tweet says: "News Today at MAHU forum: Sen David Hann, (R-MN) has license to sell insurance, has joined Boys & Tyler Fiancial, & is now on a MAHU board"
That story led to these:
"Conflict of Interest? David Hann, GOP Health Insurance Salesman" — 5:00am, Thursday October 25th, 2012
"When is a Conflict of Interest, a Conflict of Interest? You Decide." — Thursday, October 25th, 2012
"What does Sen. David Hann do for a living?" – 7:55pm, Thursday October 25th
"Fox9 News Scandal Coverage: "What does Sen. David Hann do for a living?" – 10:41am, Friday, October 26th
"TV station sees conflict of interest for Sen. Hann, others" – 2:12pm, Friday, October 26th
Which I followed up last Friday, with this:
BREAKING: David Hann Scrubs His Website, or: "Let The WhiteWash Begin!"
But one thing bothered me last week, from that tweet: "…& is now on a MAHU board." When I confirmed the tweet with Ms. Brase, I asked her which board at the Minnesota Association of Health Underwriters she was referring to. The reply was the announcement was made by the MAHU President, Alycia Riedl; it was noisy and Ms. Brase didn't catch which board – so I should contact Ms. Riedl for specifics. So I did.
Phone call and two emails. Followed it up with a phone call today; got a "no comment; I won't talk to you but I will talk to a reporter."
Heads up, reporters reading this!
On a hunch, I called the registered lobbyist for MAHU – and just got off the phone with him. The Lobbyist confirmed David Hann is on the Minnesota Association of Health Underwriters Board of Directors. Not just a committee of MAHU, which would be bad enough, but "the" board of directors.
So we have a State Senator chairing a committee overseeing a trade association he's on the board of, and has a lobbyist to lobby, well, him??!?
Well, maybe not specifically "him" but certainly his employer, Boys & Tyler Financial. Well, and his co-worker at Boys & Tyler Financial, and colleague at the State Capitol, Steve Gottwalt.
All this done with what appears to be an effort to conceal what industry Hann works in and who his employer is.
If the Legislature were in session, one would expect an ethics complaint (or two) would be filed.
At the least, Senator Hann should immediately resign his Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A Dougherty County family is homeless after a fire roared through their home.
Investigators say it started in a kitchen on Southgate Avenue around 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon as one man slept inside.
"It just went up so fast," said neighbor Sharita Thornton.
Firefighters found the Southgate subdivision home fully involved. Neighbors frantically called 911 when they saw smoke pouring from the house.
"At first I thought it was leaves burning. But then, when I saw the smoke getting blacker, I knew it couldn't be leaves," said Thornton.
She ran across to the street to see if anyone was inside and it turned out someone was.
"A younger guy was in the house. He kicked the screen out and came out the window," she said.
The 20-year-old man escaped without injury. Fire officials say he is the grandson of Loddie Thomas who owns the home.
"I asked the occupant if he was alerted by the smoke detector and he said no the he just woke up and found the fire," said Albany Fire Battalion Chief Kelly Harcrow.
It took firefighters about 20 minutes to get the blaze under control. Once the hot spots were extinguished, they began their investigation into the cause.
"The majority of the fire is in the kitchen area. All indications from our investigation right now looks like the fire started on or around the stove," said Harcrow.
The flames spread quickly throughout the house causing extensive fire and smoke damage. Fire officials say this is just one of many fires recently believed to have started in the kitchen.
"One word of advice - any time you're cooking in the kitchen don't leave - stay with it and make sure you're paying attention to what's going on," Harcrow said.
Officials say Thomas shared the home with her two grandsons. Only person was at home when the fire started.

Ed. Note: Bumped from the FanPosts. Fantastic work, Jen. - Travis
As noted in this morning's Fly By, there's some confusion over whether Danny Syvret is a Restricted Free Agent or an Unrestricted Free Agent. CapGeek still says he's an RFA, but he said on the radio yesterday that he's a UFA....
So which one is the truth?
In short: I believe Syvret is correct, and he is actually a UFA.
The explanation:
First off, there are lots of different types of free agents, numbered group 2 through group 6. Group 2 and group 4 are RFA types, and groups 3, 5, and 6 are UFA types. Most players fall into groups 2 or 3; while 4, 5, and 6 have special restrictions. There are also non-numbered UFA types, such as those that are draft related or who weren't tendered a qualifying offer when they became an RFA.
Let's look at the special restrictions for Group 6 Unrestricted Free Agency. From CBA Section 10.1, Unrestricted Free Agents (emphasis mine, and excess wording has been removed for clarity):
Group 6 Free Agents.
(i) Means any Player who is age 25 or older who has completed three
(3) or more professional seasons, whose SPC has expired and: (i)
in the case of a Player other than a goaltender, has played less than
80 NHL Games... For the purposes of the foregoing, the term professional
season shall: (A) for a Player aged** 18 or 19, ...
(B) for a Player aged** 20 or older, mean
any season in which such Player plays in one or more Professional
Games (including NHL Regular Season and Playoff Games, minor
league regular season and playoff games, and games played in any
European professional league, while under an SPC).
(ii) Any Group 6 Player shall, at the expiration of his SPC, become an
Unrestricted Free Agent and shall be completely free to negotiate
and sign an SPC with any Club, and any Club shall be completely
free to negotiate and sign an SPC with such Player, without penalty
or restriction, or being subject to any Right of First Refusal, Draft
Choice Compensat ion or any other compensation or equalization
obligation of any kind.
** Refers to the age of the player at the time they sign their first NHL contract.
Syvret Fact Check:
Birthday: June 13, 1985, currently 25 but will be 26 before free agency starts July 1st.
Draft year - 2005, Draft age - 20
First NHL contract signed - 8/29/2005, Signing age - 20
Career NHL games played: Reg Season - 59, Playoff - 10, Total - 69
Number of NHL seasons played by the above definition: 5
Feel free to double check me, but I'm pretty sure that makes DSOD a group 6 UFA, if he wasn't already a UFA by some other means.

DENVER (AP) - Silly rabbits. The furry creatures are wreaking havoc on cars parked at Denver International Airport by eating spark plug cables and other wiring. To stop the problem, federal wildlife workers are removing at least 100 bunnies a month while parking companies install better fences and build perches for predator hawks and eagles. KCNC-TV reported Thursday there's another way to stop the damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Mechanics say coating the wires with fox or coyote urine can rob the rabbits of their appetite. Fox urine can be purchased at many hunting shops.

U.S. Senate
Update 11:50 a.m.:
The Advocate of Stamford has endorsed Chris Shays in the GOP primary and Chris Murphy in the Democratic primary. The editors wrote that Shays has experience without being a creature of the Beltway, and "As a congressman he did not shy away from questions or challenges to explain himself and his positions."
The Advocate endorsed Chris Murphy in the Democratic primary in a Wednesday editorial, with the editors saying they "like Mr. Murphy's status as co-leader of the Center Aisle Caucus, a bipartisan group of House members working to alleviate the extreme partisan gridlock in Washington."
Chris Murphy (D): Murphy has gained $16,000 since earlier this week, bringing his campaign fund total to $5.59 million, reports the New Haven Register. Democratic rival Susan Bysiewicz currently has $2.4 million.
Linda McMahon (R): Politico reports that McMahon has improved since her last campaign and is now "Linda 2.0". They say that this makeover has left the candidate more "toned down."
Fourth District
Jim Himes (D): Congressman Himes has continued his 17 Towns in 17 Days, reports the Easton Courier. He will visit every town in the fourth district, including Weston, Redding, and Easton on Friday.
Steve Obsitnik (R): Obsitnik posted on his Facebook page about receiving an endorsement from business owners Allen and Sylina Levy.
Third District
Rosa DeLauro (D): DeLauro has co-sponsored a new bill introduced by Congressman Edward Markey, reports PharmaTimes. The Trial and Experimental Studies Transparency Act of 2012 aims to have all eligible clinical studies results posted on ClinicalTrials.gov within a year.
Wayne Winsley (R): Winsley held an open candidate's forum on Thursday at the East Haven Senior Center.
Fifth District
Dan Roberti (D): Roberti told WFSB-TV that he would need more information about rival Chris Donovan's campaign investigation in order to support him if Donovan were to win the Democratic primary, reports Real Clear Politics.
Justin Bernier (R): The Register Citizen reports that Bernier believes the fifth district Republicans' pro-life stance needs to be stronger, like it was in the 2010 election. His new television ad reflects his stance on the issue.

The new president of the Tennessee Valley Authority spoke to business leaders Wednesday in Jackson County. One of the talking points was problems at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
TVA President Bill Johnson spoke to the Rotary Club Wednesday afternoon in Scottsboro about the TVA and its vision of delivering power for the next decade. The agency was recently cited for a safety violation at Browns Ferry after an incident prompted an automatic shutdown of the plant.
The reactor was being tested following maintenance when the operator failed to follow correct protocol, leading to the shutdown. Johnson said there are growing pains as they work through problems at the plant. "We under-invested in the plant for a number of years," he said. "We just didn't put enough money in it, and we didn't have the right standard for our employees to work to."
"Over the last couple of years, we have made tremendous investments in that plant," Johnson continued. "The employees are working really hard, doing the right thing, and it's improving. It has a long way to go."
Johnson also discussed job losses and a slowdown with the project at the Bellafonte Nuclear Plant in Jackson County. This year, the on-site staff at Bellafonte is around 540 people, but that number is on a steady decline. Officials expect that number to drop to 151 by October 1. The plant's budget, once $182 million, is expected to dwindle to $66 million by the new fiscal year in October.
Johnson said the Bellafonte project is not dead, just slowing. The plant, originally built in the 1970s, is still unfinished. TVA had previously announced plans to restart the plant, but Johnson told the Rotary Club that circumstances had changed, due to lack of growth and demand for power.
"We set a peak level of demand in 2007," Johnson explained. "We are not likely to see that level of demand again until 2023. So we have a ten year period where we have very low growth, so the need for the plant has shifted."
Johnson said they hope to help that situation improve by phasing out older fossil fuel plants in order to shift need to Bellafonte.

Like Old Friends [Reyes/Avon ~ Day Seven] Mar 17, 2012 18:06:09 GMT -5
Post by Thundy on Mar 17, 2012 18:06:09 GMT -5
I walk through the tower as the sun rises, but instead of looking around, taking in everything the Gamemakers have created, the first thing I see is the last person I would ever want to meet here.
Avon Lightwood -- my district partner.
I squint away the light coming through the tower, but she's still there. I think back to when we talked before, in the dining hall, when I plopped down into a seat next to her and probably freaked her out with my question. Or maybe I just seemed like an idiot. Or awkward. I'm always awkward when talking to girls, especially when they're out to make me bleed.
"Will you kill me?"
"I hope not. Unless we meet in the arena. But then you might kill me."
And that was that. I never thought the day would come; I thought we'd somehow die separately, or one would die and the other would win and bring fame and glory and all that nonsense back to District One. How cruel the Gamemakers would be to have us meet, both being from the same place. Not that I'm attached, because I'm not. But she's one of the only people I've talked to in weeks. Everyone's so alone these Games, and I haven't seen anyone since the day I killed the odd, purple boy and took his purple axe. I miss the purple boy. I miss home, if only for the chance at normal human contact. I don't want to die like I am. I've always felt dead, of course, since they called my little brother's name out at the reaping and I stepped forward. Even before then. I've always been dead, and I don't think I'll ever live.
Walking forward, I don't take out my weapon. Or the purple boy's weapon. It's his, not mine. But he's gone, and I laid claims to it. That's how it works. Everyone, in the Games and out -- trampling on the weaker links to get to the top. I don't want anyone I've killed to be like that. I don't want to be evil, or emotionless. I may be dead already, but there's always room for remorse if you're an idiot like me. Stupid, idiot Career boy.
I'm not so straightforward this time around. "I, uh.. I.. "
This is a WIP because I have to go!

Date of birth: Sept. 4, 1949
Place of birth: Kansas City, Missouri
Nickname: Early in his career, Watson was tabbed "Huckleberry Dillinger" by some in the media. The unusual monicker stemmed from the young Watson's innocent-looking freckled face that didn't match his killer instinct on the course.

• PGA Tour: 39
• Champions Tour: 14
Major Championships:
• Masters: 1977, 1981

• Member, USA Ryder Cup team, 1977, 1981, 1983, 1989
Quote, Unquote:
• Tom Watson: "A lot of guys who have never choked have never been in the position to do so."
• Tom Watson: "If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate."
• Tom Watson: "I learned how to win by losing and not liking it."
• Lanny Wadkins: "Tom would never tolerate a weakness. He'd go to the practice tee and beat at it until the darn thing went away."
• In 1999, Tom Watson was made an honorary member of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. He joined four other Americans to receive that honor: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, President George H.W. Bush and Gene Sarazen.
• In four of Tom Watson's eight major championship victories, Jack Nicklaus finished second.
Tom Watson Biography:
In the period of time between Jack Nicklaus' peak and Tiger Woods' peak, Tom Watson was the best golfer in the game.
Watson stood up to Nicklaus on numerous occasions, one of the few golfers who consistently went toe-to-toe with Nicklaus and came out on top.
Their duel at the 1977 British Open - where Nicklaus shot 66-66 over the final two rounds, while Watson shot 66-65 to win by one - is one of the greatest head-to-head battles the sport has ever seen. Watson robbed Nicklaus of another major at the 1982 U.S. Open with his famous chip-in on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach. In fact, in four of Watson's eight major championship wins, Nicklaus was runner-up.
Watson played golf at Stanford University and graduated with a degree in psychology. He turned pro in 1971, but in his early years got the reputation of a player who wilted under pressure.
Watson began working with Byron Nelson, who would become a great friend and mentor, and in 1974 broke through with his first PGA Tour victory. In 1975, he won the Byron Nelson Classic, then his first British Open title. Watson was off and running.
He went on to win the British Open a total of five times; the Masters twice, and the U.S. Open once. He led the PGA Tour in wins six years, in money five years, in scoring three years. He was PGA Tour Player of the Year six times.
During those years, Watson was an aggressive putter, fabulous chipper and unsurpassed from tee to green.
His final PGA Tour victory came in 1998. In 1999, he began playing on the Champions Tour. Watson was Player of the Year in 2003, but the year also was marked by sadness: his longtime caddie, Bruce Edwards, was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Watson co-founded an organization, Driving 4 Life, to fight ALS. He donated $1 million to the foundation, and during 2003 alone Watson helped raise nearly $3 million for ALS-related causes and other charities.
In 2007, Watson won his third British Senior Open. And in 2009, Watson, nearly 60 years old, gave golf fans a thrill when he held or shared the lead in the British Open after the second and third rounds and nearly all of the final round. He reached the 72nd-hole tee with a 1-stroke lead, but bogied and then lost to Stewart Cink in a four-hole playoff. Had Watson pulled off the victory, he would have been, by far, the oldest major championship winner ever.
Tom Watson was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1988.
Watson has authored or been featured in several instructional books and DVDs, most recently the book The Timeless Swing (read review) and the DVD Lessons of a Lifetime (read review). He also has a golf course design business.
