Phil Simms is feeling cranky. "In fifteen years of playing I can't even remember even two adjustments we made at halftime... You have spent a hundred hours in that week preparing for the game, drawing out detailed plans, and you have a contingency plan that basically covers almost every scenario in the game. Why would you need to make a lot of adjustments at halftime? After our 1986 Monday Night Football game in San Francisco, a lot of people asked me what adjustments we made to account for climbing out of a 17-0 hole at halftime to beat the 49ers 21-17... Well, I tied my shoelaces tighter.

The latest strategy analysis from our friend William Krasker looks at Houston's fake field goal against Jacksonville, Tennessee's first half-ending touchdown attempt, and Detroit's unfortunate choice to go for it on 4th-and-1 at the Dallas 37-yard line with 11:44 remaining. Right choice, stupid play by center Dominic Raiola, who tried to draw an offsides and ended up getting Joey Harrington hammered.

Here are the Football Outsiders team efficiency ratings after Week 8, along with Aaron's usual commentary for the math-o-phobic. This week's discussion topics include the Patriots loss and their upcoming opponents in St. Louis -- by far our lowest-ranked winning team. Plus, what upcoming schedules have to say about which teams are going to make the AFC playoffs.

The usual sweet and sour plays from our man Gregg Easterbrook, plus a discussion of that whole Redskins election thing and the correlation between cheerleader bikinis and winning.

This week's ESPN Page 2 Snap Judgment column, featuring the Football Outsiders quarterback ratings as well as commentary by yours truly and the usual ESPN.com gang. Topics addressed this week: Tom Brady's bad day, Daunte Culpepper's bad day, and Kurt Warner's bad day, which some people seem to think was a good day because his team won. Kurt, however, was awful. I hope I do a good enough job here of getting across the idea "don't jump to conclusions based on one game" which is one of our mantras. Thanks again to the FO gang for helping me with QB comments on games I didn't see.

Peter King, in his review of Week 8, has a tribute to the player at the bottom of the roster who helps his team to victory, focusing on Reno Mahe of the Eagles, Randall Gay of the Patriots, Mwelde Moore of the Vikings, and, being Peter King of course, Dave Roberts of the Red Sox. Who is not, in fact, a football player. Though you would have to think he would be a very good wideout.

I am not sure why I find this New York Times article on the proposed new Jets stadium so hilarious, but this guy is really, really angry about the design. I mean, really angry. (Free registration required.)

This week, two games analyzed FO-style in an article from Friday's New York Sun. Week 8 brings us two major matchups of a top AFC team against a top NFC team, where the strength of one team balances the strength of the other: The Baltimore defense against the Philadelphia offense, and the Denver running game against the Atlanta front seven. Plus, extra bonus insight from two Football Outsiders readers, one a Falcons fan and one a Broncos backer.

To Mayor Tommy Battle and City Council Members: Re: Ordinance No. 95-693, Chapter 5, Article IV. Sec. 5-48
Joseph Buscemi
Good Luck and I am completely in agreement that having a few hens as pets are more of a benefit to our freedom of choice and ownership of our lives.
Jesse Merry
Two hens should not be a problem. I would love to be able to be a little more self-sufficient by having a couple hens.
Jean Godwin
In 2 weeks I will be occupying the house next to my son's on Montdale Rd. Even if we put hens on our mutual property line we do not reach the footage the council is demanding. The hens eat bugs, help propagate fresh garden vegetables, and fertilize the soil. The pet hens can wander in the garden adding to the view and helping to make time pass by eating insects and vermin. I am a senion citizen, and have retired on social security and veteran's dependents benefits. Both checks are very small and would benefit from increased incomee. Thank you for considering our petition,.

A great book for entrepeneurs.
The method described is not exactly scientific. Science requires publication and peer review. The author only proposes experiments. But this is good enough for startups.

My head hurts. I got a mole removed this afternoon and the stitched area is hurting a little bit. I don't feel like doing anything, and I have to sleep on my back with my head elevated. And tomorrow I have to drive an hour for a follow-up appointment at the doctor.
On the plus side, I am planning a 2-3 day trip to a spa with a friend of mine. She is a teacher too, and today we were both lamenting the non-schedule of summer. So we're going on a little trip. I've been checking out some great spas...
Off to make some popcorn and watch some Without a Trace.
I think I found my new mantra. And even if it's only for a little while, it works for me. Here it is:
The only way to do it is to do it.
I read it in a book a while back (it was similar, I don't think it's exactly what was in the book...) and I have been thinking about it a lot lately. It applies to almost anything. Painting the closet room? It's not going to get done by itself. Putting together a table and then taking out the trash? The cardboard isn't going to walk itself out to the garage.
Phone calls? They aren't going to get made just by wishing. Getting stronger? Thinking about it isn't going to make it happen.
Tonight I have to go pick up my veggies and then I'm meeting a friend for dinner. I have been wanting sushi... mmm.
I made it to the gym today. Tomorrow afternoon I have to go get a mole removed (ugh) so I don't know how long I'm not going to be able to go to the gym. The mole is on my freakin' forehead. Not smack in the middle, but still. Luckily, it's in a place where my hair can cover it easily. Sigh...
Off to take out the trash...
I love love love the summer.
The problem (well, kind of a problem) with the summer is that I don't have a schedule. I don't set the alarm, which is nice and not nice. No schedule means no scheduled workout time, which means a fluffy Carrie.
A little while ago I stopped making to-do lists. I don't know why, I thought maybe I could get by without them. But I don't know how much I like the idea anymore. Like today, I sat on the computer and did some "window-shopping." Just what I *don't* need to be doing. There is so much to do!
So tonight I gave myself a little ultimatum. If I go to the gym tonight for some cardio, I can have some blueberry crumb later tonight (if I want it).
Off to drink some more water.
My inspiration for my room was a pair of curtains - I saw them and just HAD to have them.
I love my little walk-in IN my closet room! I finally cleaned it out and made it useable. It was holding junk and random stuff since we moved in three years ago, but I could use the space!
I found the perfect little vase for my room...
This morning I found a great rug! It's actually bamboo - so not soft like I wanted, but it was only $40.00 and it matches perfectly! Turns out I really like it.
This is my favorite wall - I love my jewelry against the teal color. I put up some cork boards so I'd finally have somewhere to put my inspirational stuff! Notice the Spark patch from JASR!
I'm so happy with the way it turned out. I didn't spend a ton of money, and I really feel like I have my own special little space now. No more using my room for storage!
Tonight I am having a treat of an Italian hoagie, some chips, and some cookie dough ice cream. I put half the hoagie and a few chips on a plate, and I ate much less than if I would have just eaten the chips out of the bag. The other half of the hoagie is for Brad when he comes home from work. I haven't really gotten to talk to him about the restaurant a whole lot... he's been so busy!
Off to clean up a little bit before I enjoy my ice cream!
Closet room is DONE!!! I am SOOOO excited. I will post some pics probably tomorrow. I still have 2 or 3 little things to do. But it looks great! I feel like it's MY room now, not just some room I moved into. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do.
Phew! It's time to crash on the couch.

Last August, when the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed its previous decision that the National Credit Union Administration is not barred from proceeding with a suit alleging that Nomura duped a failed credit union into buying misrepresented mortgage-backed securities, Nomura wasn't the only bank crushed by the ruling.

I was absolutely floored last week when my son mentioned he'd given out his cell phone number on the internet. We'd recently had the conversation about the dangers lurking on the web when I presented a program on internet safety to our middle school so my brain couldn't wrap itself around the fact that he blatantly went against the number one rule in our house for using the internet: NO PERSONAL INFORMATION is to be given out for ANY reason!
I was furious. I raised my voice in a manner reserved for serious offenses and felt panic well up inside my body. What would have possessed him to be so careless? What part of "grooming" (a term we'd discussed) did he not understand? (Grooming is when a predator will pretend to be whatever sex or age he needs to be in order to lure a child into trusting him so the child will reveal personal information.) I took a deep breath and sat my son down for a long talk about how serious this situation could be.
This time, I was very specific about what can happen when personal information is revealed to someone he doesn't know. He was in a popular game room for younger children and told me he knew this person was a girl his age from England. I asked him, "How do you know she is from England?"
"She told me she is. She gave me her phone number too."
"You didn't call or text her, did you?"

Friday 1st September 2000
The directors defended the company's share and option schemes as de rigeur in the new "e-conomy" in the face of criticism from shareholder rights campaigners Brian Gaynor and Bruce Sheppard.
In a two-and-a-half hour meeting they criticised the directors for failing to have a code of disclosure and for buying shares and options at a discount. On at least one occasion a director bought shares at 7c when the shares were trading at 28c.
"I'm comfortable with your [day to day] management but I'm not comfortable with your corporate governance," Mr Sheppard said.
A resolution to increase directors' fees to $150,000 each was defeated after shareholders pointed out it did not say where the extra money would come from, and so did not comply with the company's constitution.
IT Capital chairman John Robertson withdrew the resolution, saying it was a "distraction." He added the board was looking at adopting a code of some form, in line with both New Zealand and Australia, where IT Capital is listed on the ASX.
The directors strongly disputed all the claims made about impropriety in their own share buy-ups and said the company was duplicating a US IT company, Safeguard, which has had one of best growth rates for an IT firm.
Option schemes for directors and staff was becoming a well-used method, especially in such IT companies, and those occasions referred to had been part of management contracts, the directors said.
Chief executive Mr Dittus said the company planned to tackle the "new e-conomy" by partnerships with international venture capital funds.

Nothing but Jets
New York Jets news, commentary and insider info from beat writer Kimberley A. Martin.

[Updated] Report: Jets sign RB Bell
***Updated @ 5:05 p.m.***
According to La Canfora, the Jets have signed RB Kahlil Bell...
It's obvious the Jets offense needs a lot of work.
Well, according to CBS's NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, the Jets are working out running backs today -- including Steve Slaton and Kahlil Bell. The Jets, who set out to reclaim their ground-and-pound identity in the offseason, currently rank 16th in the NFL in rushing yards per game (106.9).
A main reason for that is Shonn Greene, who is averaging 63 rushing yards per game.
That puts him 20th in the league among other running backs. Lingering injuries to Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight have also compounded the issue. Powell separated his shoulder during the Jets' Week 6 win over the Colts and McKnight suffered a high ankle sprain a short time later.
Powell, who missed two games due to the shoulder injury, also suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to Seattle. On the flip side, McKnight returned from the ankle sprain and played against New England and Miami before the Jets' bye week. But he was forced to leave the Dolphins game after aggravating his ankle injury and did not travel to Seattle for Sunday's game.
Slaton, 26, has a history of injuries, but he's provides a lift when when healthy. The running back, who spent time in Houston and Miami in 2011, has 1,896 and 18 touchdowns in his career. But most of the yards came in his rookie campaign (2008) when he rushed for 1,282 yards for the Texans.
Bell, 25, has played just three NFL seasons, all with Chicago. For his career, he's averaging 4.5 yards per carry. But Bell played in just two games last year for the Bears before being waived on Oct. 15.

Zimbabwe's under fire vice president Joice Mujuru missed a crucial Politburo meeting that met at the party headquarters in Harare to amend the party constitution to concentrate power in President Robert Mugabe.

Chevy Chase, MD Women with a high concentration of anti-Mllerian hormone stand a better chance of giving birth after in vitro fertilization, according to a recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).
Anti-Mllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by the ovaries. The study found women with high AMH levels were 2.5 times more likely to have a successful IVF cycle than women of a similar age with low levels of the hormone. AMH levels were a predictor of pregnancy and live birth, even when the mother's age and egg production were taken into account.
Although a growing body of research has pinpointed AMH levels as an indicator of the number of eggs remaining in a woman's ovaries, this study is the first to demonstrate AMH levels are directly connected to birth and pregnancy rates, regardless of the number of eggs retrieved.
"For women who are struggling to get pregnant, a high AMH level should be very reassuring," said Thomas Brodin, MD, of Uppsala University in Sweden and lead author of the study. "High levels of this hormone mean there is a greater chance they have plenty of healthy eggs remaining to support a pregnancy."
Researchers concluded high AMH levels are associated with successful IVF treatment because the hormone levels reveal important information about the quality as well as the quantity of eggs left in a woman's ovaries. Women who have high AMH levels are likely to have a high proportion of eggs capable of developing into healthy embryos, Brodin said.
The prospective cohort study tracked 892 women who underwent IVF treatment at the Carl von Linn Clinic in Uppsala between 2008 and 2011. The participants underwent a total of 1,230 IVF cycles. AMH levels in the participants' blood were measured prior to treatment.
The study found that women were more likely to have a successful treatment outcome as their AMH levels increase

Sony Xperia Z3 release date, specs and price
The Sony Xperia Z3 is the latest flagship smartphone to be released from Sony following on from the stunning and incredibly powerful Xperia Z2. With Sony it's now a case of gradual evolution with new flagships released every 6 months, as opposed to the normal 1 year product cycle followed by other manufacturers.
The Sony Xperia Z3 adopts a very similar design to the Xperia Z2 meaning it retains Sony's Omnibalance design and is even more waterproof (up to 1.5m for 30 minutes) and still remains dust-resistant. However, it now looks even more premium with the new Copper colour sure to turn heads and impressively it's now lighter and thinner than its predecessor (7.3mm vs 8.2mm and 152g vs 163g).
The smartphone is fronted by a 5.2-inch full HD IPS display (1920*1080 pixels) delivering a 423 pixels-per-inch rating. Not only do you get all the latest Sony display technology, but the screen has a staggering 600nits brighness (compared to around 480 on the Z2) making it easily visible even outdoors on sunny days.
Powerful doesn't even begin to describe the Xperia Z3 which has a staggering 2.5GHz quad-core core processor and a whopping 3GB of RAM, which puts a lot of desktop PC's firmly in the shade. And you get 16GB of onboard storage which is expandable with a SD slot.
Sony's expertise in digital cameras hasn't been lost on the Xperia Z3 which has 20 mega-pixel snapper with Exmor RS technology that is capable of recording 4K videos and capturing stunning high-resolution captures. Selfies are also
The Sony Xperia Z3 is a high-end smartphone in every way from it's waterproof design, to its super bright display, amazing power and best-in-class camera. And as you'd expect it comes fully connected with support for 4G LTE, Bluetooth, NFC and more.
Got a PS4? Then you are in luck because the Sony Xperia Z3 support remote play with the Playstation 4. Audio is another area where the smartphone excels because it's got front-facing stereo speakers, Digital Noise Cancelling and can be connected up to High-Resolution headphones for crystal clear sound.
Overall, the Xperia Z3 improves on the already excellent Xperia Z2 in a number of key ways. And we've fallen in love with the rustic new Copper colour, which will be offered alongside Black, White and Green model
Release date and price
The Sony Xperia Z3 go on sale in September, although an exact launch date is still yet to be confirmed. The price is still yet to be determined, but a price-point of around £550 would fit in well with the launch of Sony's previously released Xperia flagships.
All of the UK's major operators will be stocking the smartphone including Three, O2, Vodafone and EE. And you'll also be able to pick it up SIM-free.

Greetings from New York City, where I'm doing my "Photoshop CS3 Power Tour" seminar for a record-breaking 1,300 people today at the Javits Center. I hope I get to see you today (if you're there and you read my blog, make sure you say "hi"). Now, onto the news:
- Q. Did I shoot in raw?
- A. You betcha. The whole time. The main reason was I wanted the flexibility to recover any clipped highlights from shooting out in the direct sun, and with all the white on the players jerseys (on both teams), it really, really worked out well.
- Q. Why did you shoot at 200 ISO
- A. The Buc's official Team photographer, Paul Abell posted an answer to this yesterday before I could, but it was to make sure we had enough shutter speed to get to around 1/2000 of a second. Paul's shooting Canon so the ISO noise issue isn't a big deal, especially between 100 and 200 (where the noise is barely perceptible), and so when faced with a decision; he could perhaps get a tiny amount of less noise, he (we'd) have to give up shutter speed and stopping power. Read Paul's comment yesterday for more details. Thanks Paul for jumping in and posting your comments yesterday. It's much appreciated.
- Q. What did you think of the Canon 1D Mark III?
- A. Remember when I talked about shooting the Canon 5D, and how I had two big gripes: (1) The shutter felt funky—almost a bit too digital, and (2) the LCD didn't have full screen highlights warnings? Well, both of my gripes have been addressed in the Mark III, and it was an absolute joy. I don't have a single complaint—it absolutely rocked (and the battery life is just incredible. I shot with it today at a studio in Manhattan for four hours, and I still haven't recharged since before Sunday's shoot).
- Q. Did you use your "Photoshop Seven Point System" on those shots?
- A. Absolutely. I use the Seven Point System on all my own photos (it's based on my own exact workflow), so if you see one of my shots, it went through "The System," but luckily not every shot needed all seven points. There are two images where I also applied a variation of the "Hollywood Effect."
- Q. Do you prefer shooting on Lexar?
- A. I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but I've never had one go bad, and at the end of the day, reliability is king.
- Q. Did you ditch your Nikon gear?
- A. I still have all my Nikon gear, but it's the old stuff (D200, D2xs, etc.). I haven' t decided what I'm going to do yet, but I can tell you this, right now I'm really loving that Mark III. I love the way it renders fleshtone, and the way it handles things that are red (like the Buc's jerseys), is really wonderful. I wish I felt a little more comfortable with all the controls, but it's getting more comfortable every day.
- Q. What's the Loupe around your neck?
- A. That's the Hoodman Loupe, and for outdoor events like that, it's absolutely invaluable. You can either use it, or turn off your LCD and save your battery, cause you can't see a dang thing on it in that direct mid-day sun. Other photographers on the sidelines kept asking me about it all day. Now that I've been using it, I don't know how I got along without it.
Well, that's it for today. It's 2:33 am, and I should probably hit the sack. Ya know, since I've got a class in the morning, and didn't get any sleep last night either. I'm gonna sleep like a rock on my flight home tonight, though.
Have a great Tuesday and I hope to see you today at the Javits! :)

This Sunday I got to shoot my home team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in my home stadium (Raymond James Stadium). First the big news; we won!!! (17 – 10). A Bucs win is always something to celebrate in my house, but getting to shoot them on field during a win was just an absolute blast (of course, had they lost, it still would have been a blast, just a smaller blast). Click on the slideshow above for larger views of the images.
Perhaps the coolest part was that I had incredible access because I had an "on-field" pass that got me out there with the players (I was even at a midfield for the coin toss) I pretty much had access to anywhere I wanted to go, and I went pretty much…well…everywhere. What a blast!
For the game I shot two different bodies that were with me all the time; For the wide shots, I used a Canon 5D with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, and for the long stuff, I shot a new Canon 1D Mark III (what an incredibly sweet camera, by the way!), with a 400mm f/4 with Image Stabilization, supported with a Gitzo monopod. It was a load to carry around, but it was absolutely worth it!
All the long shots were taken at f/4, at 200 ISO, to get a very shallow depth of field, and the wide shots where also at 200 ISO but mostly at f/5.6 or f/8 to get more detail in the background. All the shots were imaged on Lexar digital film.
A big thanks to Bucs Team Photographer Paul Abell, who is just a terrific shooter (and Lightroom User), for his gracious hospitality, and to his wonderful assistant Patrick who helped make sure I didn't get leveled by a 280 lb. linebacker. Also thanks to Paul and Dave Carlson at Canon for the two photos of me you see in the slideshow above.

"Wonderful Listen"
The Scarpetta Novels provide more "meat" to the characters. They are well developed with great dialogue. There are plenty of turns and twists. But there is none of the gratuitous sex and needless violence. Just plain old fashioned interesting detective work.
"Couldn't stop listening"
The great narration gave this wonderful story real life. I just couldn't stop listening even at 1am. Felt as though I'd lost friends when it was over.
"Sorry when it ended."
I had a little trouble getting into this book. But once I got going, enjoyed it a lot. Great and very funny dialogue. Great narration. Interesting plot. I hardly ever write a review but this was an unexpected delight. Give it a try.
"I get it!"
Could have been a good story except for the gratuitous and repetitive sex scenes. I started fast forwarding to try to get to the real story. I get it the main characters are hot for each other..............I'm no prude but enough already. Narrator did a great job.
"All Too Real."
This was a nonstop scare because it is much, much too possible. If you've ever lost power for a day, a week or months you'll have some idea of what could happen. This is a look at what happens to good people in bad times. Highly recommend.
"Did Not Want This To End"
What a great listen, good dialogue, realistic characters, fun all the way through. Narrator did a great job with voices and accents.
"Twists and Turn"
This one just kept me guessing until the very last minutes. Wonderfully drawn characters and of course Edward Hermann narrating. Not your routine mystery.
"Poor Editing"
I enjoy this series. However the editing on this book was very poorly done. There were gaps in between chapters which left out parts of the narrative. I have 407 books in my Audible library. This is the first time I've run into a problem this annoying. The story itself was wonderful as always but I gave it 3 stars due to the gaps.
Report Inappropriate Content
If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. This report will be reviewed by Audible and we will take appropriate action.

A disposable entertainment, redeemed by silliness, exaggeration, and Chan's skill and charm. I would not want to see it twice, but I liked seeing it once.
Chan defies time and gravity with remarkable energy, ease and resourcefulness, not to mention charm and humor. He even gets away with a nude scene, not bad for man who turns 50 in April.
There are five writers credited with the script for The Medallion, and between them they don't come up with a single original or amusing or clever idea.
The best of Jackie Chan's American movies, a pleasant little action comedy that makes one wonder how other filmmakers could ever get it wrong.
Chan's signature mix of screwball comedy and gymnastic derring-do landed him his own cartoon series a few years back, and The Medallion -- with its bumbling spies and bounding star -- is about as cartoonish as live action gets.
Longer on action than comedy. But with Chan's affable charm and stunning leaps, kicks and jumps, it's a good-natured and amusing spectacle.
Since the stunts are sub-par and feature considerable computer help, the movie gives the impression that it's trying too hard to be campy and silly.
The formulaic movie would be forgettable but inoffensive if it were anyone else posing for blue screen CGI effects.
Given the complete lack of chemistry between Chan and Forlani, their rather awkward lip-lock isn't worth $10 to see. Sadly, neither is anything else here.
As for the old and graceful Jackie, he's completely missing in action, his supple talents sacrificed on the high altar of movie technology -- that frenetic place where superheroes are a colossal bore and real ones are sadly impotent.
The supernatural stuff is ho-hum, the dubbing is sloppy and the action will only make you pine for the younger, hungrier and more injury-prone Jackie.
Evans fumbles through painfully extended homophobic jokes, weak double entendres and agonizingly contorted double-takes.
It's the cheapest looking, least exciting, least funny Chan project I've ever seen.
Once the action degenerates, the film relies on Chan's charming smile and Evans's mediocre slapstick for relief, making one wish the medallion's special powers could transport them into whole other story.
One of the Peking Opera-trained superstar's most mediocre films, rivaling last years God-awful "The Tuxedo" for sheer messy filmmaking and brazen acts of tedium... Abysmal.
Not that Chan isn't lovable; he is. But he's making it harder to feel warm and fuzzy about him with films like The Medallion. It's OK to age, but Chan needs to broaden his horizons. He is a trained singer. Where's that musical he's always dreamed of making?
So full of limp slapstick silliness and stock characters that it's hard to stay awake through it.
The Medallion makes you long for Tucker -- and for Jackie Chan to fly without digital wings.
As soon as the medallion appears, so do the digital maneuverings -- speeded-up movement, composite images, objects and people morphing into supernatural thingamajigs -- that undercut the genuine thrills of the genuine action.
Mr. Chan proves yet again that he has the virtuosic grace -- and goofiness -- of any of the great clowns of the silent era, and a complete refusal to abide by the laws of gravity. Do let us be clear, however, that the movie's plot, minus a few roundhouse kicks, is straight out of the Scooby-Doo playbook.
While the premise does lead to a few moments of inspired physical comedy -- the movie repeatedly falls back on poorly staged, choppily edited fight scenes between Chan and a gloomy, power-mad villain.
Though haphazardly put together, The Medallion stays fairly entertaining until it kills Chan off and resurrects him as an immortal being.
It's a likable enough smorgasbord, from its trendy Irish locations to Andy Summers turning in a Beatles cover to occasional giggles and gasps.
This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role, which is essentially the same one he played in the Rush Hour movies.
Chan's normally homegrown stuntwork is replaced by a lot of wire fighting and special effects, and this makes one think that the days of "Drunken Master" are far behind him.
At times plays as if it were aimed at children, but more often simply seems to be aiming blind at whatever genre cliche the five credited writers fix upon in any given scene.
This is a complete mess, making up its story logic as it goes along, though in contrast to the sluggish "Shanghai Knights" its chief problem is having too many ideas instead of too few.

Sep 4, 2013This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. From the start, you know what page you should be on in Jackie Chan vehicle The Medallion. It exists to entertain, not to make any kind of bold spiritual or meaningful statement, even if the plot is grounded in a delightful magical hokum, which may or may not be inspired by certain elements of Chinese mysticism, which I'm sure it takes many liberties with.
Still, in this kind of film, a MacGuffin is required to get the plot moving. The titular Medallion is thousands of years old, and grants the holder a host of powers, including strength, speed and immortality. Naturally, some unscrupulous individuals are bound to want to get their hands on this wondrous item, and indeed they do, making off with both it and its child guardian Jai, who has been chosen by the fates as the only one who can activate the Medallion, by binding its two halves.
Who's on hand to stop this selfish abuse of ancient power? Hong Kong police officer Eddie Yang, (Jackie Chan). Chan plays his usual role as the dogged nice guy, battling against all the odds, and a seemingly never-ending stream of enemy goons, with only his skill at martial arts to protect him. As ever, it's impossible to dislike Chan, and you end up along for the ride, and rooting for him every time.
Lee Evans appears as Arthur Watson, a somewhat incompetent Interpol agent who is partnered with Jackie and becomes his comic foil. Throughout Jackie Chan's extensive filmography, he has been paired with numerous partners, especially in his Hollywood productions that have tended to exploit the "buddy cop" dynamic to its full potential. Lee Evans, for example, is not Owen Wilson, who performs admirably alongside Chan in Shanghai Noon (2000) and its sequel.
Claire Forlani's character, another agent by the name of Nicole, is an old flame of Eddie/Jackie's. Regrettably, she is not particularly engaging and there is little chemistry between her and Jackie to give credence to their previous relationship. She seems to fill the obligatory role of the love interest to accompany the primary duo into the finale, but I would have preferred to see this role filled by Charlotte Watson (Christy Chung), Arthur's wife, who appears during a fight in the Watson household, revealing herself to be an agent too. Pre-dating Mr. & Mrs. Smith by two years, neither Arthur nor Charlotte have filled each other in on their true professions, but when her family is threatened, Charlotte springs into action. For some reason, nothing is made of this after the scene, and the character does not appear again.
Those who grew up watching the animated series Jackie Chan Adventures might enjoy a nostalgia trip when they recognise a familiar sounding villain in the form of Julian Sands, who proves that the stereotype of the well-spoken British villain is still very much alive in his role as the borderline psychotic crime lord known as "Snakehead". At times, this film can feel like a live action imagining of the aforementioned series, where Sands played Jackie's nemesis, a similar villain with a penchant for the theft of mystical items.
Gordon Chan directs, as an experienced figure in Hong Kong cinema who has worked with Jackie Chan before. Gordon Chan's other notable works include remakes of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury (1972): Fist of Legend (1994), starring Jet Li, and Legend of the Fist (2010). As ever, the real star is not the plot or characterisation, but the fight scenes with Jackie, who is well known for performing all of his own stunts, to the point that nobody would insure him. Typically, the director is happy to let Jackie do his thing, whilst the soundtrack plays some pop rock with a groovy bass line. During the finale, Forlani's fight with her female counterpart in Snakehead's organisation is set to a rocking blues guitar solo.
In a film about a medallion that gives supernatural powers, the most entertaining fights are the most realistic. These are the ones where Jackie fights a number of thugs in an industrial location. Once in the sewers beneath the streets of Hong Kong, and twice on container ships, in Dublin and Victoria Harbour. Once the characters inevitably become juiced up on the medallion's powers, the fights seem somehow less impressive. Whilst events become visually more extreme, and the stakes are technically higher, what with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, conflicts between these newly immortal warriors lack the tension of a fierce urban punch-up.
This film, while an hour and a half of entertaining absurdity, does not deserve further analysis, nor does it ask for it. Jackie Chan saves this film, simply by doing what he does best. But it is by no means his best work.… Full Review »
DannyD.Sep 24, 2005This movie was terrible, absolute tripe. The story was all over the place and action just seemed to come out of nowhere. Its actually a little funny to watch - just to laugh at how bad it is. I'm giving it a 1 just forr the line ' bring me the boy - in dublin'.… Full Review »

Barre Town voting starts slowlyMarch 05,2013
BARRE TOWN – In a town with no contested races Krista Metivier gets points for standing in the snow greeting voters as if her election to the Barre Town School Board depended on it.
"I need name recognition," said Metivier.
Apparently Metivier's, four-year-old son, Aiden, didn't get the message.
"Vote for my momma," he said greeting a potential voter without actually dropping his mother's name.
Metivier's son had time to work on his delivery because 90 minutes after the polls opened only 57 of the town's 5,887 registered voters had cast ballots.
"I wish I could say: 'We're busy,' but we're not," Town Clerk Donna Kelty said.
As has historically been the case, Town Meeting Day is an all-school affair in Barre Town. Municipal budgets and business is conducted during May elections.
Among the items on today's ballot include the $10.8 million budget for Barre Town Middle and Elementary School and the $12.3 million budget for Spaulding High School.MORE IN This Just InBARRE Hannaford Supermarket in South Barre recently presented Project Independence with a much...
