By Rachel Filed under 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies', News 2 Comments
Luke Evans has said that the final Hobbit movie's name change From There and Back Again to The Battle of the Five Armies – was "absolutely" the right decision. Speaking to Digital Spy at the first annual Battersea Power Station party, the Bard the Bowman actor shared his thoughts on Peter Jackson's last installment in the Hobbit trilogy.
"I actually think it's absolutely right because when it was two films There and Back Again would've been the second film's title. Now it's three films it's become redundant," he explained. "We have the Battle of the Five Armies which we focus on, it's a very important part of the story. I think it's right, I think it's appropriate that it's changed and I think Peter would've thought about it with a lot of care. I think the decision's right – when you see the film you'll understand exactly why."
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will open in cinemas this December.

In many videos I have seen, the person being interviewed begins talking to the camera in a clip and then the screen flashes to another scene while still having the person talk, even though that clip is no longer playing. Is there a way to carry out a person's voice from a video into another in Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6?

Cut the clip where you want to stop and then where you want to restart seeing the speaker. Right click on the section you want to keep the audio for. Select delete video. You can then fill the gap with a clip of video which has had the audio removed. (As for delete video but delete audio instead). You can then highlight the whole thing, right click and select link items.
I hope this makes sense - I know what I mean!!

Watchdog says Bradford Council is not visiting enough food premises
6:00am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News By Julie Tickner, Bradford Chief Reporter
Bradford Council is the 16th worst local authority in the country for keeping on top of food hygiene enforcement, according to research issued by a consumer watchdog.
Which? looked at 395 local authorities in the UK and, using some of the latest data submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), ranked how they are performing.
Bradford Council was ranked 380th, just 16 from the bottom of the table.
But the Council's executive member for environment, Councillor Andrew Thornton, said Which? had selected only three sets of figures out of many more submitted to the FSA to compile its rankings.
He said the Council operated "very much a risk approach" focusing on businesses classed as high or medium risk.
Which? looked at the proportion of premises ranked as high or medium risk in a local authority that were broadly compliant with food hygiene requirements; the percentage of premises yet to receive a risk rating and the proportion of inspections and other follow-ups that were required but not carried out by inspectors.
Coun Thornton said: "They've take a very broad brush to how they've rated different local authorities in terms of inspections and interventions.
"In Bradford we operate very much a risk-based approach in which we target those premises most likely to cause problems."
He said if the consumer organisation had chosen to look at interventions at medium and high-risk establishments, rather than including those classed as low risk as well, the Council would have performed better.
Coun Thornton said the Council carried out all the inspections needed at businesses identified as 'high risk' and inspected 86 per cent of those in the 'medium risk' group.
In 2012/13 – the year the research is based on – Bradford Council carried out 1,361 formal actions to make sure food outlets were up to standard.
Last year, the Council prosecuted 14 food businesses for breaches of regulations and 11 more cases are being processed.
A Which? spokesman said it would expect councils to visit all food establishments to check their risk rating. In the Bradford area, 90.3 per cent were visited.
Working out the hygiene risk includes looking at the type of food, the number and type of consumers at risk, how food is processed or handled and the confidence in the management.
The leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the Council, Councillor Jeanette Sunderland, said: "I'm not surprised that we have got a problem with food hygiene. We appear to have no policy whatsoever of controlling it and no political will to control it," she said.
She said the Council could start to tackle the problem by allowing fewer takeaways to open.
The director of the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen's University, Belfast, Professor Chris Elliott said: "I think what the Which? report is indicating very clearly is that, because of the pressures that are on local authorities in relation to budget cuts, they are finding it very difficult to deliver the quality of service that is required."
Earlier this week Prof Elliott told the Telegraph & Argus that inner-city areas like Bradford were more likely to be vulnerable to the supply of contaminated meat.

It doesn't seem to matter whether it's uninsured cars, crime, empty shops or now it's hygiene- they all get immediately dismissed as rubbish. This was a survey by Which; hardly a disreputable magazine!
Wouldn't it be nice if just for once someone on the council admitted we don't live in the world's greatest city and tried to make it better rather than just burying their heads in the sand?

Funnily enough when the news is good the same councillors tend to take these reports as gospel and fall over themselves to pat each other on the back.
Wasn't it just last week where Cllr Thornton gave his backing to a report that suggested his braindead permit idea wasn't creating more flytipping and he also used a report to implement permits that didn't even factor in the use of Leeds tips.

The Starr Equine Rehabilitation Program of the Nebraska Humane Society rehabilitates and trains horses to make them more suitable for adoption.
Many of the horses have been either starved, neglected or abused, said Colleen Hamer, a former North Platte resident who now works with the rehab program.
Hamer said many of the horses have not been handled by humans and others have been handled poorly, but when the horses complete the program, most are perfectly healthy and suitable to do a job, whether it be roping cows, jumping jumps or carrying their human down the trail.
Hamer put together an entertaining three-minute video (at the lower right of the Bulletins front page) of some training clips, with music by Don Edwards (Ridin') where you can take a closer look.
The adoption fee for these horses is $100-600 depending on how much training they have had.

Fitness Marketing Expert Offers Tips for Starting a Personal Training Business
Bedros Keuilian, fitness marketing expert and creator of the popular blog PTPower.com, has just released a brand new video offering advice to fitness professionals looking start a personal training business on a budget. Keuilian admits that he made this video in order to help more personal trainers who lack a strong business background find the best methods for opening a facility without going into major debt.
He explains, "I wanted to make this video so I could reach fitness professionals and give them solid advice on starting a business because a lot of them tend to go the extra mile and spend more than they should when opening a training facility. I wanted to prevent a headache for personal trainers looking to venture out."
In this new video, Keuilian goes over important topics like how to choose a location, how to leave extra money on the table for critical business expenses such as marketing, and ways to find more personal training clients.
"Don't spend so much time and money on creating the perfect workout space. Make it look nice, but don't go to the extreme when designing your space and overspend," says Keuilian. "You also don't need to worry about street visibility to get clients because marketing will do that for you, so don't focus so much on the location."
Starting a Personal Training Business, out now on the Bedros Keuilian Youtube Channel, offers solutions to the most pressing issues that fitness professionals face when starting a new business. Hoping to set more personal trainers up for success, Keuilian's new video is a useful tool for those who are considering making the switch from a personal trainer to a fitness business owner and even gives examples of how to get clients into their new fitness facility.

Sounds like you need some back-up. Call a tech.

I would stick with Three phase..... efficency isnt everything. The unit will cost less and last longer if you choose to go back with three phase.
are you sure about that your gas rate? That seems really low. Electric is about right.
that sounds like a good idea. 73 degrees is really warm; have them check the charge on the system also. What brand is the system?
City, a varible speed air Handler will fix the cold air problem.
running more means that its using more power, right?
Everything sounds fine to me.
IF its a 2 stage unit, it is going to run almost all of the time. It gains effceincy by running at a low capicity for extented periods( usually all day).

A friend of mine makes her living by caring for older adults in their homes. She does light housekeeping, cooks, runs errands, or simply provides companionship. She knows that I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my income and has offered to set me up with one of her families. I'd be working 6 to 8 hours a week helping an elderly couple while the wife recovers from abdominal surgery. I'm interested, but wonder if I'd be putting my RN license at risk. I do carry my own malpractice insurance. What guidelines should I follow, or is this an opportunity I should pass up?-N.R., FLA.
Your first step should be to clarify your role and the couple's expectations. From what you've said, you'd be doing very general caregiver duties, unless they'd expect you to provide postabdominal surgery nursing care. Once you know the details, put your intentions and expectations in writing, including payment for your services, to avoid future misunderstandings.
Also, contact your personal professional insurance company to make sure your policy covers this type of nursing experience. Check your state's nurse practice act and the corresponding rules and regulations too, just to make sure that you understand the law in your jurisdiction. If you're currently working, make sure your employer doesn't have a noncompete clause in the employee handbook. You may not be permitted to accept home-care work if your employer provides similar services.
Finally, consider your own skill level. If a medical emergency arises, you'd be expected to meet the standards of nursing care because you're an RN. Can you competently handle any emergencies or other issues that you might encounter caring for an elderly couple? If you consider all these details in advance, you may find this part-time job a rewarding way to use your skills.

England may have finally managed a point in the World Cup with their 0-0 draw against Costa Rica, but Daniel Sturridge felt the wrath of supporters after missing a host of chances to salvage some respect for Roy Hodgson's side.
Hodgson rang the chances for this evening's final Group D clash, with England already eliminated from the tournament.
But despite the 0-0 scoreline, England could have come away with three points to go home on a high, but for a swathe of misses from the Liverpool striker.
And his wasted chances certainly didn't go unnoticed among England fans.
Wish Sturridge would stop that stupid stepover EVERY time he attacks. It's like watching some Conference chancer. #WorldCup2014—

LAKE HALLIE (WQOW) - A man accused of trying to return a printer to an area store with counterfeit money found inside the printer will spend four months in jail.
Jarad Carr, from Fond Du Lac, was sentenced this week in Chippewa County. Lake Hallie Police say in March, Carr tried to return the printer at Walmart, even though he didn't have a receipt. As store employees checked the printer they found two counterfeit hundred dollar bills.
Police say Carr still insisted on returning the printer, and even struggled with officers when they arrived. Carr is still facing charges in another case in Hudson. He's accused along with several other men of breaking into a man's home, holding him at gunpoint, and stealing 35 thousand dollars from his safe.

tag:destructoid.com,2006:blogXivSpew's Blog :: DESTRUCTOIDhttp://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/avatars/1/18591.jpgXivSpewhttp://www.destructoid.com/blogs/XivSpew2009-08-24T04:35:30Ztag:destructoid.com,2008:147171Disemployed (or why games very indirectly got me fired, and the lessons therein)2009-09-01T23:01:35Z2009-09-01T23:01:35Z[img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/18591-147171-firedJPG-620x.jpg[/img] Allow me to paint a picture of my day-to-day life up to a few weeks ago; perhaps a few Dtoiders may recognize themselves...well, maybe more than a few. I had a steady job in an unmentioned bank doing internal IT, a simple 9-to-5 cube farm kind of thing. The daily grind wore me down steadily, yet it gave me a semi-decent paycheck and provided me with ample time to safely peruse RSS feeds and indulge in interoffice nerd rage. ("OF COURSE BACK TO THE FUTURE'S PLOT HAS HOLES, THEY'RE PUNCHING CANNON HOLES IN SPACE-TIME!!!") After punching out for the day and winding my way slowly but surely home, I looked forward to the time I could spend with my consoles and uncomfortable yet charming broken-in IKEA couch. As like most of you, I've been playing games for as long as I could hold a controller, and I found the mixture of escapism, nostalgia, and sheer entertainment provided by games to be the cure to the ills of life. Not only that, but I have the kind of personality that could unabashedly invest in a 7-hour-long odyssey into something like Culdcept Saga or Fallout 3 or Insert Game Here without blinking an eye. I couldn't tell you about how many times over the years I called in sick to play the latest release (though I did legitmately take a few days off for GTA IV without harm). Often, I'd find myself at 3 AM, with a shift starting at 8 the next day, and I'd shake myself out of the trance long enough to turn shit off and fall asleep. More often than not, I would end up sleeping past my alarm and rolling into work just a [i]little[/i] later than was officially acceptable. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/18591-147171-sleepanywhereOHara101jpg-620x.jpg[/img] Now, one IP i'm a whore for more than anything is Batman. One late night, I discovered the Arkham Asylum demo was available for download. Hark! I would be a FOOL to pass up the ability to download it and play it now as opposed to getting good sleep and waiting until tomorrow to check it out. So I played it, more than a demo should be played, went to bed, and I woke up late. And came in late to work again. And then I was asked for my badge by my manager as escorted to the exit. For the next few days afterwards, I felt sheer hatred for my favorite past-time. Didn't turn on anything or even dink around with excellent browser-based games. Even sold a few really valuable gems I was holding onto for...whatever reason just to make rent for the next month. I held a weirdly nebulous yet heavy grudge against video games, and the mass tragedy to my personal life it had dealt me in this hand. It was less of a rage of The Hulk getting mugged in the alley, and more of a spurned lover crying in his beer while staring at the engagement ring he was saving. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/18591-147171-dawsoncryingjpg-620x.jpg[/img] After a week or so of applications, resumes, and cover letters being fired off like a Super Hadoken, Arkham Asylum came out. Since I had the intuition of paying the game off completely when reserving it, I grabbed it. Begrudgingly, I put it in after blowing the dust off the disc tray (yes, I like exaggeration). And hollllyyyy shit, it was everything I thought it was going to be and more. Finally, a game that lives up to the pre-release hype AND has a fucking bio for Prometheus that's unlockable (!!!!!!). In one playthrough, I not only regained my love of games and then some, but I learned a valuable life lesson. Games weren't the reason I lost my job. I lost my job because I had/have poor time management, poor self-discipline, and I fucking love sleeping in my comfy bed along with too-quiet alarm clocks. If it weren't video games, it would've been some other hobby or past-time that would've led me to the point that I'm at now. And yes, I'm only 23, so this is something young'ins should have ground into them at some point or another, or I should've known better so please don't comment something like "NO SHIT ASSHOLE". (would anyone on DToid actually say that? And how old do you have to be to be inspired to go there? Whatever, I'm just being defensive.) In retrospect, I should've seen the signs long ago working for a corporation that demands such adult responsibilties as coming into work on time while being a 20-something stoner who really, really enjoys being in a band and playing games. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll find A. the self control to go to sleep and wake up in a way that makes me function in a modern society or B. a job that doesn't sweat being 10 minutes late as much as before. Regardless, I figured there's a good number of you on Destructoid who share the same set of social variables as myself. So consider this a warning. Don't make the same mistakes I did and let the grand majesty of video games (zero sarcasm) get in the way of what's important IRL. Keep your shit in check, otherwise you'll be selling a chunk of your childhood memories to pay for food and rent. On a sidenote, is anyone hiring a smooth-talkin code monkey? :D

It's too late and I'm a little too drunk to really write anything worth reading, but I felt I should toss my controller into the pile in tribute. Thanks for existing, you vagabond website, you!!

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:145613The illustrious XIV takes a stab at this hurr blahg introducshun2009-08-24T04:35:30Z2009-08-24T04:35:30Z[i]Pre warning, i'm 99% sure that one or the many things that consist this first blog post are the wrong way to do it. Alignment's all fusted, few broken links hanging around, egregious self promotion...but this is my first time and i gotta give it all. Feel free to castigate me openly, but i just gotta try once...[/i] And here I am. Who am I? My name's XIV. XivSpew/XivGNP is my username on Destructiod (and other sites) allows for easier recognition and name calling. I hail from the frozen tundra of the Twin Cities, MN. I play keytar and scream in a band named OBCT. I enjoy many, many aspects of wonderful geek culture, from dystopian black comedies to the art of Hieronymous Bosch, and most of anything labelled with the suffix of - punk. Above all this, my dear droogies, is video games. Across the board, up and down, I dig them all. I like game mechanics that work seamlessly to let me feel i'm actually a thief skulking through medieval castles yoinking anything not tied down, only to stop when my light meter goes full blast. I like when a game's narrative allows me as a player to not just have the story told to me but to feel it. I like it when a game says it has a morality system, but instead of gaining access to better equipment or resources from the actions of my choices, my choices can make me feel like shit for ruining these fictional character's lives. I like games that enable the player to inhabit a puppetmaster role to the characters, weaving stories to and fro to whatever conclusion I see fit. And I like racing at 260 MPH off a ski ramp into a dandy soiree set in a theater hall filled with priceless, dangling glass. To reitorate, I love video games. Not just the games, but game theory, and how it is used with the millions of different variables and decisions that developers, publishers, beta testers, and finally the players make to change button pushes become much, much more than the sum of their parts. I have lurked on DToid for a long, long time, and commented semi-occasionally, but finally have the balls to get a blog rolling and participate in this frightening concept of community. I hope to do, see, and write much more from this point forward, so this is really my "Hey! I exist!" introductory blog, and I look forward to not only getting to know the rest of you better, but to participate in making D-Toid (best of the gaming blogs) even bestester. [b]SPELLING. IS. COUNTED[/b]. Oh, and hey, while i'm pooping this out, why not introduce myself further with self band whorage!!! As of right now, I play keytar and scream in a band in Minneapolis named OBCT. [img]http://www.obctonline.com/09/obct-bio-animation-web.gif[/img] It is your typical sort of music that comes from 5 angry nerds who really, really like industrial, metal, and 12-14 other genres. Slightly difficult to define, which is why I will present you with streaming audial magickry!!! [url]http://www.obctonline.com[/url] [url]http://obct.bandcamp.com/[/url] [url]http://www.myspace.com/obct[/url] And video, which we shot in a garage and backyard, during which my keytar almost caught ablaze (ANGRY XIV) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS2yYtXJfpE[/url] We released our last album not 3 days ago, with a middling yet incredibly killah release party at the Fine Line. If you dig it, i humbly implore you to do your part in proving that internet sales of music *can* indeed buy musicians lunch. We's on Itunes, Bacefook, MahSchpace, cdbaby, 30 other distributors we have very little control over, the works! [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2654/3835333168_b82962febb.jpg[/img] Prior to now, however, I played keyboards (and screamed again) for Gabber Nullification Project.

We sampled everything from RC Pro-Am, Punch-Out, Bayou Billy, Double Dragon, and god knows what else. I've left the band since, but they still carry that 8-bit torch so i recommend a listen at least. Our 2nd album was called 2A03 after the Famicom's sound chip, and we designed the liner notes as the instruction booklet for Super Mario Bros. [img]http://images.payplay.fm/g/a/gabbernproj2/600/gabbernproj2.jpg[/img] We also own 8bitch.com, which we made 4 tracks for using the same parameters the NES chip used. PM me if you realllllly wanna hear, i don't think they're online anywhere. And that's it! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Thank you and good night.

Today for my 30 day challenge, I decided to learn about mobile development. For a long time, I thought mobile development was fud, and there will be no business model around most of the applications. In fact, writing mobile applications never excited me. However, given the advancements that have happened in the mobile space, and the fact that more people access the internet on mobile devices than desktops, I decided to give mobile development a try. I will be using PhoneGap as my starting point for my mobile development journey.

She is such a well spoken inspirational writer and speaker. Makes me proud to be an African!
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie grew up during the 1980s in the university town of Nsukka, Nigeria. She moved to America to attend college and graduate school: she was a Hodder fellow at Princeton University during the 2005-2006 academic year and earned an M.A. in African Studies from Yale in 2008. She now splits her time between the U.S. and Nigeria, where she teaches writing workshops to school students.
Prior to the release of her first book, Adichie already was recognized internationally as a remarkable short story writer. Her critically acclaimed debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, chronicles the impact of politics and religion on a Nigerian family during civil war as seen through the eyes of a 15-year-old girl. The book "celebrates my culture," she explains, including "eating and sharing food, central to our Igbo way of life."
In Nigeria, Adichie's second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, has helped inspire new, cross-generational communication about the Biafran war. In this and her other works, she seeks to instill dignity into the finest details of each character, regardless of their social standing, exposing along the way the deep scars of colonialism in Africa. Her newest book, The Thing Around Your Neck, is a brilliant collection of stories about Nigerians struggling to cope with both corruption in their home country and with their immigrant experiences abroad. "Adichie builds on the literary tradition of Igbo literary giant Chinua Achebe (Things Fall Apart)—when she found out that Achebe liked Half of a Yellow Sun, she says she cried for a whole day." What he said about her rings true: "We do not usually associate wisdom with beginners, but here is a new writer endowed with the gift of ancient storytellers."

The CyberLover software was designed in Russia to engage people in conversations with the objective of inducing them to reveal information about their identities or to lead them to visit a web site that will deliver malicious content to their computers.
"As a tool that can be used by hackers to conduct identity fraud, CyberLover demonstrates an unprecedented level of social engineering," said Sergei Shevchenko, Senior Malware Analyst at PC Tools. "It employs highly intelligent and customised dialogue to target users of social networking systems."
In 1950, British mathematician and computing pioneer Alan Turing posed a game in which a human interrogator is given the task of determining which of two respondents is human and which is a machine. This game has become known as the Turing Test.
Turing expected that by now, programming would have advanced to the level where "an average interrogator will not have more than 70 percent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning."
He would probably be disappointed if he knew how we've progressed. The Loebner Prize of $US100,000 plus a gold medal was first offered in 1990 for a computer that could pass the Turing Test, but remains unclaimed.
