Nancy Eckerson: Use heart-rate training to increase running speed
Sunday, April 28, 2013
As runners, we look for ways to get the most out of our training time, trying to find the most effective techniques. In the last few years, running form has been frequently and favorably discussed.Better running mechanics do allow for improved efficiency and the fastest most efficient runners have high stride frequency of at least 170 – 185 steps per minute. But, does a higher stride frequency automatically translate to faster running? Not necessarily. I spoke with Dave Abbett, local physical therapist and partner of Sub 5 Race Management, about another technique that may better relate to increased running performance.
To assess what this means, Abbett recommends running on a treadmill with a heart rate monitor. First, warm up slowly, and then run for 20 minutes staying close to your MAF heart rate, and paying attention to your running speed; as much as 80% of your training should be done in this zone. It may feel too slow at first, but over time, your speed will naturally increase while staying at the same MAF heart rate. Abbett also recommends checking your resting heart rate in the morning; if you notice your resting heart rate increasing it can be a sign that you are overtraining.We've often heard that it is important to listen to our bodies when it comes to training, and heart rate training will help to ensure this.

- condition
Atherosclerosis is hardening of a blood vessel from a buildup of plaque. Plaque is made of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and calcium. Plaque buildup causes the artery to narrow and harden.
Plaque buildup can slow and even stop blood flow. This means the tissue supplied by the artery is cut off from its blood supply. This often leads to pain or decreased function. This condition can cause a number of serious health problems. Depending on the location of the blockage, it can cause:
- Coronary heart disease —Loss of blood to areas of the heart
- Stroke —Loss of blood to areas of the brain
- Peripheral vascular disease —Loss of blood to the extremities
AtherosclerosisCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A hardened artery is more likely to be damaged. Repeated damage to the inner wall of an artery causes blood clots to form. The clots are called thrombi. They can lead to a further decrease in blood flow. A thrombus sometimes becomes so large that it completely closes off the artery. It could also break into clumps, called emboli. These clumps travel through the bloodstream and lodge in smaller arteries, blocking them off. The tissue supplied by the artery receives no oxygen. It quickly dies. When this occurs in the heart, it is called a heart attack. In the brain, it is called a stroke.
Long-term atherosclerosis can also cause arteries to weaken. They may bulge under pressure. This bulge is called an aneurysm. If untreated, they can rupture and bleed.
Atherosclerosis is caused by plaque. Plaque is created by high levels of cholesterol and fat in the blood. Scar tissue and calcium from vessel injury can also add to the plaque buildup.
The process leading to this may begin in childhood. It takes decades before it causes serious health problems.
Factors that increase your chance of getting atherosclerosis include:
- Family history of the disease
- Age 45 years and older in men; 55 years and older in women
- Sex: Male
- High cholesterol —Especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Poor diet
- Cigarette smoking
- Diabetes type 1 and type 2
- Overweight and obesity
- Lack of physical activity
- Metabolic syndrome —A combination of three out of the following five findings:
- Low HDL-cholesterol—Also called good cholesterol
- High triglycerides
- Elevated blood sugar
- Elevated blood pressure
- Increased waist circumference—greater than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women
Early atherosclerosis does not have any symptoms. Symptoms may begin to appear as the arteries become harder and narrower. Symptoms can occur suddenly if a clot blocks a blood vessel or a large blockage breaks free.
Symptoms depend on which arteries are affected. For example:
- Coronary arteries of the heart—May cause symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain
- Arteries to the brain—May cause symptoms of a stroke such as weakness, vision problems, speech problems, or headache
- Arteries in the lower extremities—May cause pain in the legs or feet and trouble walking
- diagnosis
Most people are diagnosed after they develop symptoms. However, people can be screened and treated for risk factors.
If you have symptoms, your doctor will ask you questions. These will help determine what arteries might be affected. The doctor will also need to know your full medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests will depend on which arteries may be involved. Many of these tests detect problems with the tissue that is not getting enough blood. Tests that evaluate the atherosclerotic arteries are:
- Angiography
- Cardiac catheterization
- Ultrasound
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- treatment
An important part of treatment is reducing risk factors. To do so, see the steps in the prevention section below. Treatment depends on the area of the body most affected.
Treatment may include:Medicines
Medicines can:
Catheter-based Procedures
- Interfere with the forming of blood clots
- Control blood pressure if elevated
- Lower cholesterol if elevated
- Improve the flow of blood through narrowed arteries, such as cilostazol (Pletal) or pentoxifylline (Trental)
These procedures involve a thin tube called a catheter. It is inserted into an artery. They are most often done for arteries in the heart. They may be used to treat atherosclerosis elsewhere in the body as well. These procedures include:
- Balloon angioplasty —A balloon-tipped catheter is used to press plaque against the wall of the artery. This increases the amount of space for the blood to flow.
- Stenting—Usually done after angioplasty. A wire mesh tube is placed in a damaged artery. It will support the wall of the artery and keep it open.
- Atherectomy —Instruments are inserted via catheter. They are used to cut away and remove plaque so that blood can flow more easily. This procedure is not used as often.
Surgical options include:
- Endarterectomy —Removal of the lining of an artery obstructed with large plaques. This is often done in carotid arteries of the neck. These arteries bring blood to the brain.
- Arterioplasty— Repair of an aneurysm. It is usually done with synthetic tissue.
- Bypass —Creation of an alternate route for blood flow. The procedure uses a separate vessel for blood to flow.
- prevention
There are a number of ways to prevent and reverse atherosclerosis. They include:
- Eat a healthy diet. It should be low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It should also be rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Exercise regularly.
- Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, lose weight.
- Don't smoke. If you smoke, quit.
- Control diabetes.
- If your doctor recommends it, take medication to reduce your risk factors. This may include medicine for high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
- Talk to your doctor about screening tests for coronary artery disease if you have risk factors.

Fire damages several McMinnville apartment units
No injuries reported in Monday evening two-alarm blaze at the Brockwood Village Aparments
One upstairs unit at the Brockwood Village Apartments, 730 S.W. Brockwood Ave., was heavily damaged and three other units sustained lesser damage Monday night when a fire broke out at the complex.
Firefighters responded about 6:20 p.m. to the report of an apartment that was fully engulfed. As the first firefighters arrived, heavy flames were visible from the windows and a door in which the blaze started on the east side of the complex.
Firefighters determined there was no one inside. Flames could be seen on the roof and coming from under the eaves. Smoke was pouring from the unit and was visible from several blocks away. The smoke could be smelled from a distance, as well.
Firefighters first attacked the blaze from the exterior of the structure before going inside.
A majority of the damage was contained to the apartment of origin. There was minor fire damage to the adjacent upstairs unit. Two lower units sustained significant water damage. The four units are uninhabitable until repairs are made.
Six adults, one child and three pets were displaced. The Cascade Region Branch of the American Red Cross is assisting everyone with clothing, food, lodging and other support services.
Six units and about 40 firefighters from Amity and McMinnville responded to the scene. By about 6:40 p.m., flames had been extinguished and mop-up work was underway.
Unattended cooking in the apartment of origin was determined to be the cause, according to fire officials. There was no immediate dollar estimate on the loss.

The retina is a thin layer of tissue on the inside back wall of your eye, containing millions of light-sensitive cells and other nerve cells that receive and organize visual information. Your retina sends this information to the brain through your optic nerve, enabling you to see.
Retinal diseases can affect the area of the retina that serves your central vision (the macula and the fovea at the center of the macula). Many retinal diseases share common symptoms and treatments, but each has unique characteristics. The goal of retinal disease treatments is to stop or slow disease progression and preserve, improve or restore vision.
Retinal diseases and disorders vary widely, but most cause visual symptoms. Some retinal disorders are common and easily diagnosed, while others are rare and hard to diagnose. These may require complex and sometimes urgent treatment. Untreated, some retinal diseases can cause severe vision loss or blindness. It's important to pay attention to any changes in your vision or new visual symptoms and seek appropriate care quickly.
Common retinal diseases and conditions include:
Learn about retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration.

We'll send you monthly updates about issues like human trafficking and child health.
We'll also alert you to urgent action opportunities.
Join us in urging Congress and the president to take action on critical issues for children, and pray with us for the health and safety of children around the world.
Email President Obama to tell him that you don't want your tax dollars supporting children as soldiers.
Child soldiers risk injury or death, witness terrible brutalities, may be used as sex slaves or suicide bombers, and suffer extreme emotional and physical abuse. They are deprived of the opportunity for an education and a hopeful future.
Each year, when the president signs the U.S. federal budget, he can make the choice whether or not to include waivers to the Child Soldier Prevention Act of 2008. When waivers are included, it means that the United States will provide military funding to countries that knowingly use child soldiers.
Speak out against this human rights violation.
Be sure to sign up to receive our monthly newsletter, filled with updates about issues like human trafficking and child health and urgent action opportunities.
Today, nearly 19,000 children under 5 will die of preventable causes.
Many are newborns in their first month of life. Almost all of these children die of treatable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria.
We refuse to accept that five is a child's lifetime.
Beyond 5 is our advocacy campaign calling for global action to protect children from deadly yet avoidable diseases.
Visit www.worldvision.org/beyond5 to learn more about the campaign, follow our blog, and sign up to receive updates and alerts for timely action opportunities.
Together, we can help babies and toddlers stay alive to celebrate their fifth birthdays — and beyond. Join us!
No child should have to participate in combat in any way. Child soldiers risk injury or death, witness terrible brutalities, may be used as sex slaves or suicide bombers, and suffer extreme emotional and physical abuse. They are deprived of the opportunity for an education and a hopeful future.
In South Sudan, a brutal civil war is taking place. The number of child soldiers is growing — an estimated 9,000 children are now fighting on both sides.
South Sudan continues to receive military aid from the United States, despite a U.S. law prohibiting such aid to countries that use child soldiers.
Tell President Obama to stop U.S. military aid to South Sudan. Send him an email telling him that you don't want your tax dollars supporting children as soldiers.
No child should be used as a weapon of war. Take action today: Send an email to President Obama.
Ahead of the 1-year anniversary of the conflict in South Sudan, World Vision spoke to 160 children about the risks that daily life now holds for children displaced by the conflict. These children articulated the same needs: for the conflict to end, to be able to return home, to be protected from harm, and to return to school.
The report (.pdf) calls upon the international community to ensure that children are protected from exploitation and violence and are able to access safe and free education.
Millions of children remain invisible to their government and unable to fully participate in their communities each year.
They are denied education and health services and are at risk for exploitation, violence, abuse, and underage recruitment into armed forces, all because they do not have a simple piece of paper — a birth certificate.
You can join us in speaking out to ensure that all children are counted and recognized.
Birth registration is the foundation of child protection.
Why does registration matter? Human traffickers pursue individuals who are vulnerable and powerless. Without a birth certificate, children are an easy target.
Every year, 51 million children are unregistered at birth, leaving them without an official name or nationality. The opportunities children are denied when they don't have a birth certificate reads like a checklist of what human traffickers look for:
The list goes on.
Birth registration impacts all aspects of a child's well-being. Lack of birth registration often prevents children from accessing healthcare such as immunizations, enrolling in school, and even receiving inheritance.
A birth certificate helps protect children from human trafficking, child labor, early marriage, underage recruitment, and conscription into military service. If a child is abused, neglected, exploited, or exposed to violence, a birth certificate ensures his or her access to services and justice systems.
Birth registration is often low on the list of a country's priorities. Because issuing birth certificates is so simple, it's easy to overlook or allow to languish.
Sometimes all that's needed is a nudge or support from the U.S. government to help create a functioning birth registration system.
The Girls Count Act is a bill that did not pass during the last Congress — but we expect it to be reintroduced during the 114th Congress.
At a time when the international community is working to empower women and girls socially, economically, and politically, a lack of birth registration remains an obstacle to girls (and boys) experiencing life in all its fullness.
The Girls Count Act elevates birth registration in U.S. foreign policy and assistance. It authorizes the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to support programs that promote sustainable registration systems, ensure children are able to access social services, and encourage enhanced training in developing countries to address registration.
The act does not call for new spending. These are programs where money has already been allocated. The act ensures that the simple and foundational step of birth registration is not overlooked amid all the other efforts to protect children.
What's more, these efforts will help strengthen and sustain the work World Vision is doing around the world to ensure that every child is counted and recognized.

After nearly 18 months of continued advocacy by World Vision supporters, the Water for the World Act was signed into law on December 19, 2014. More than 748 million people in the world are without clean water, and nearly 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation. This law will now put measures into place to help assure that U.S. funds for water, sanitation, and hygiene will go to the countries and communities most in need where there will be the greatest impact — not just places where the United States may have political interests.
On March 7, 2013, President Obama signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2013 into law. As the largest piece of human rights legislation to pass the Congress, it comprehensively addresses the domestic and international dimensions of human trafficking.
For more than two years, World Vision advocates and others called, wrote letters, and met with their members of Congress to ensure that critical anti-trafficking programs and funding were protected.
SIgned into law in 2008, the Child Soldier Prevention Act was passed to ensure that U.S. taxpayer money will never fund the use of child soldiers abroad.
Some 12,000 citizen advocates contributed to this success by contacting their members of Congress to express support for this bill.
Signed into law in 2004, the Northern Uganda Crisis Response Act, supported a peaceful resolution to the decades-long conflict, called on the U.S. to work with the Ugandan government and the international community to provide humanitarian aid and development assistance, and called for increased protection of displaced civilians, particularly women and children.
Signed by President Bush in 2003 the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief approved $15 billion for AIDS prevention, treatment and care. Programs funded by the legislation helped prolong the lives of 2 million people infected with AIDS, as well as prevent 7 million additional infections and care for children orphaned and made vulnerable by the disease.
Legislation to prohibit the import of so-called "conflict diamonds" — gems mined in African nations that help to fund human rights abuses — was signed into law in 2003.
The bill was designed to choke off a key funding source for rebel groups in Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola and other nations.
In April 2003, Congress passed the PROTECT Act (Prosecuting Remedies and Tools Against the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003) to provides new tools to protect children from sexual exploitation. The law established the national systems to recover abducted children, included stronger laws to combat child pornography and exploitation, increased penalties for sex offenses against children, and included important enhancements to current "sex tourism" laws.
World Vision advocated for these changes to current U.S. law in order to better protect children from American pedophiles that travel to poor countries to engage in sex with minors.
President Bush signed the Sudan Peace Act into law in October 2001. The legislation provided aid to Sudanese citizens, required the United States to monitor peace negotiations, and allowed for sanctions if Khartoum interferes with humanitarian efforts.

He has checked out of the marriage
Q: Dear Meredith,
I am in my mid-40s and have been married for 20 years. I have four children ranging in age from 7 to 17. For the past few years, my marriage has become increasingly difficult. Like most couples, we have ebbs and flows, but it seems like lately my husband and I are on different pages and that we bring out the worst in each other -- impatience, avoidance, blame, etc. Recently he told me that our relationship "sucks," that I am "no fun," that he hasn't "been happy in 10 years," and that he has "checked out." Needless to say, this made me incredibly sad.
Divorce is not an option now with children at home. I have decided to go to counseling on my own, but find that even with that, it is increasingly difficult for me to get through my week and deal with full-time work and all child and home responsibilities with my faculties intact. My children know nothing of this, although occasionally they have heard us arguing mildly. Do you or your readers have any tips for coping? Thank you.
– No fun, Plymouth
A: Are you going to therapy on your own because he refused couples counseling? Is he open to talking to a professional about your problems? I guess I'm confused about what happens next. He told you how he feels, but is his assumption that you'll get a divorce when the kids are out of the house? And are you "incredibly sad" because you're still in love with him and want things to work out?
My coping tip is to talk to him about the plan. I understand that with four kids you barely have time to sleep, but you can't go on like this, just getting through the day in relationship purgatory. You need to know whether you're going to try to make things better or whether you're simply biding your time until it's convenient to move on.
It seems to me that if he hasn't been happy in 10 years, you guys never figured out how to manage four kids and each other. I want you both in therapy (together) to talk about that -- and your future. You can't cope if you don't have a goal, whether it's fixing your relationship or planning your new life. You can't just sit around in a "no fun" zone for another decade.
Readers? Coping tips? Do they have to come up with a plan? Do you get the sense that she wants to stay in this marriage? What questions should she ask? And how? Help.
– Meredith

Gafney wreaths available
Thursday, November 15, 2012
SANBORNVILLE — The Gafney Library is now taking orders for their annual holiday wreath fundraiser. After four years of practice, library board members led by member Sharon Theiling, have mastered the art of bowmaking. After two such workshops, members have produced 160 very full, colorful Christmas bows waiting to be placed on each 24-inch full, double-sided wreath in late November. Members then wire on a couple of pine cones from this year's crop as a finishing touch. The result is a very full, fresh, nicely decorated holiday wreath available by pre-order for $15. Supply is limited and demand is high, so place your order early.

It's easy to forget it was Holman & Moody that helped first put a Ford Mustang on track in competition. Well before Carroll Shelby ever spun a wrench on one of the pony cars, H&M served up a set of race engines for Alan Mann Racing. That team took four specially prepared 1964 notchback Mustang models to the 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile and brought home first place in the Touring Car class. Holman & Moody have chosen to celebrate that milestone with a special 2014 Ford Mustang

Organized public library service in Tazewell County is a relatively recent phenomenon. Through the years, women's clubs offered lending library programs, some to members, some to the general community. Notices of new books available for lending appeared in the pages of the Clinch Valley News from time to time.
In the early1960s, as a result of Sputnik, federal funds for education increased significantly and led, through the Library Services Act, to initiation of public library service in previously unserved communities. This provided the impetus for establishing many library systems in Virginia, particularly those serving small and rural populations. The Virginia State Library offered to demonstrate library service in a community for two years, at the end of which time the locality would assume responsibility for continuing it if it was successful.
For many years, Mrs. W. B. Leslie, a teacher and newspaper publisher, had sought to have a public library in Tazewell County. The Demonstration Library program delivered the vehicle for reaching this goal. Mrs. Leslie worked with a number of interested county residents and officials to apply for the Demonstration Library, which was approved. Dorothy M. Fuller of the Virginia State Library guided the library to its opening July 1964. The Town of Tazewell arranged for space in the town hall, built wooden shelving, and furnished utilities. The Library of Virginia selected, bought and cataloged books, organized the collection, trained the staff, provided a bookmobile to reach communities beyond Tazewell and paid all operational costs. Mrs. Edith M. Farley was the first librarian and she had a staff of four.
Tazewell County assumed operational responsibility for the library at the end of the agreed two-year demonstration. The Board of Supervisors appointed a five-member Board of Trustees, chaired by Mrs. Leslie, and including Lester L. Jones, Cora Lee Philpott, T. G. Shufflebarger, and Mary Sue Sult. They built a permanent library on Main Street, on the site of the old Tazewell High School. Dr. W. F. Wadsworth, Presbyterian minister and community leader, worked with Mrs. Leslie and the Board, Mrs. Irma Gillespie and many other individuals and community groups, and the support of E. R. Kilgore, James Bailey, and Graham Hedrick of the Board of Supervisors, to see this building project through. The library was dedicated 3 December 1967. The architect was J. Coates Carter and the contractor was Fort Chiswell Construction Company. Major funding was provided by federal grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Library Services and Construction Act.
Mrs. Farley served as Librarian from 1964 until her retirement in1976. She was followed by Clare DeCleene, 1976-1977. Laurie Surface Roberts was librarian from 1977-2012. Lynne Bartlett became library director in April 2012.

Dude @_nicholas u might have solved my problem lol. I've been thinking of a way to do basically what you just did, but in a different situation. You mind sharing your settings for that shot? I'm gonna assume you flashed 4 times as she walked?yeah I just set my camera on a tripod and set the shutter to bulb. i held down the shutter and had her walk slowly as i used my dslr to fire off 4 flashes. i fired the first flash right after i opened the shutter and i closed the shutter right after i shot my fourth flash. the shutter was open for like 6 seconds maybe and the aperture was 2.8. i shot the same photo 3 times using different apertures to guarantee that one of the shots would be properly exposed.

POSTED: Thursday, October 25, 2012 - 1:22pm
UPDATED: Thursday, October 25, 2012 - 1:27pm
New York City, New York — A New York City police officer accused of planning to kidnap, rape, torture and cook a number of women and eat their body parts has been arrested and charged in the case, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan said Thursday.
Gilberto Valle, 28, a six-year NYPD veteran, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Queens. He is accused of illegally accessing a national crime database to locate potential victims, and exchanging e-mails and instant messages with alleged co-conspirators about plans to target women, the attorney's office said.
"Gilberto Valle's alleged plans to kidnap women so that they could be raped, tortured, killed, cooked, and cannibalized shock the conscience," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. "This case is all the more disturbing when you consider Valle's position as a New York City police officer and his sworn duty to serve and protect. Our investigation is ongoing."
Valle was due to appear in Manhattan federal court Thursday, charged with one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and one count of illegally accessing and getting information from the National Crime Information Center database.
CNN's attempts to reach attorney Julia Gatto, who is representing Valle, were not immediately successful.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court says Valle was in contact with at least two women mentioned in his plans, though FBI spokesman J. Peter Donald told CNN the agency has "no information to believe Mr. Valle harmed anyone at this time."
The investigation began in September when the FBI learned that Valle was sending e-mails and instant messages from his home computer, detailing his plans, the bureau said.
A search of his computer revealed a database of "at least 100 women and containing at least one photograph of each woman," according to a statement from Bharara's office. "The computer also contained personal information about some of these women -- including relevant addresses, physical descriptions and photographs -- and electronic communications in which Valle and co-conspirators detailed their plans."
The FBI declined to say how it learned of Valle's electronic communications.

Lillian Takeda received praises and recognition from the City Council of Honolulu on June 4, 2014 for serving 19 years as a volunteer in Kuakini. Along with other noteworthy citizens, she was given an honorary certificate during the special ceremony held in the City Council auditorium.
Of the more than 400 volunteers of Kuakini's Volunteer Services, Lillian tops the rank for clocking in a total 21,694 hours of service – and still counting – since she started donating her time and talent in 1996 to Kuakini Geriatric Care, Inc.
At 77, Lillian is enthusiastic and energetic. She keeps the Kuakini residents engaged during her exercise sessions, which she holds twice a week in the facility. Her drills appeal to their imagination. "Let's go to the beach! Let's go to the park! Let's walk!" she would say. The residents eagerly follow her instructions to lift their feet, raise their arms, stretch their legs, or tap their heads.
Lillian also helps serve food to the residents during meal time. At home, she sews napkins, blankets and scarves, which she gives to them as gifts. She likes to keep herself busy and productive, she said.
Aside from Kuakini, Lillian also volunteers at the Moiliili Senior Center, helps with a weekly hanafuda card group and knits caps and booties for newborns at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children.

More than 40 Level 4 gymnasts from the region competed. To be eligible for the competition, gymnasts were required to earn a combined score of 31 points or higher during a prior NH USAG sanctioned meet. Once this is achieved, gymnasts competing in a sectional qualifier and must attain a combined score of at least 33 points to qualify for the State Championship Meet in April.

This is great news, if it actually happens. I've always preferred The Hobbit to its more epic offspring. I agree the filmmakers will ditch the talking animals. Poor Smaug will probably lose all his humor, but perhaps the actor playing Bilbo can insinuate the proper tone in those scenes regardless. Too bad Ian Holm isn't younger. I hope they don't go as young as they did in LotR. Frodo I could buy in a younger incarnation, but Bilbo needs to be at least a bit older.
I'll trust the filmmakers, but ask a few hypothetical questions anyway:
1. What are the chance we'll see Gollum the blood-thirsty cannibal here, and not the same funny/pathetic schizo from the movies? Personally, I need to believe he's ready to chow down on hobbit flesh. He never quite achieved that level of menace in the LotR films for me. I really want to see Gollum as the "ghost that drank blood," ate infants, all that jazz. Although we don't find those events out until FotR (and never in the film), it would be neat to see them somehow hinted at in the prequel.
2. Would we actually see Gandalf and co. attack Sauron aka the Necromancer, sort of like they did with the scenes between Gandalf and Saruman in FotR? In that case, could there be two plotlines here: one dealing with Gandalf and Sauron, and the second dealing with Bilbo and Smaug?
3. How might they play out the climax of the movie? If memory serves me, doesn't Bilbo literally pass out at some point, and wake up when its all over?

Good news... and BAD news!
Bad news...! Just when it was looking good...
Last week I read more and more reports that The Hobbit would probably go ahead, with production beginning in 2008 or 2009. At this rate, when the movie is released it will have been about 10 years since Fellowship! Anyway, it was still good news, and the other good news was that the studio wants to make TWO MOVIES!
But just today, the bad news: New Line has apparently dropped Peter Jackson from the project, because he is still entangled in a law suit against them (for apparently not giving him proper profits on Fellowship), and Jackson has said he won't do the Hobbit until the lawsuit is settled. The studio is saying that they have limited time in which to begin The Hobbit, and so now they're apparently actively seeking a new filmmaker.
This brings up all kinds of concerns, like who the new director will be, whether he will be any good, whether they will still use WETA for effects, and actors like Ian McKellen for the roles...
November 21st, 2006, 06:20 AM #19
In the article I was reading Jackson is in dispute with New Line and therefore won't be making the Hobbit. They want him to do the movie, but for the wrong reasons, according to Jackson. Ian McCelland and Andy Serkis both have said they won't do the movie without him, to show their loyalty to Jackson. I really hope they can get their problems resolved because I honestly can't see anyone else making this movie. But I guess as it stands now it is a no go.

Thanks for that link EA. Jackson's letter to the fans was really well written! It's just too bad that New Line has told him they "no longer require his services". I think that's a huge mistake. What other director could do the same job? Fans are not going to like it if The Hobbit has too much of a different feel to LOTR.
And if, as Sic's mom pointed out, McCelland and Serkis aren't going to do the movie without Jackson, then forget it! You can't have a different Gollum and you just can't have a different Gandalf!
I wonder though, if it isn't better that the project be a no-go. As Eurytus explained (last year, this is an old thread!) likely some elements of the story would have to be changed to make the movie more appealing for a movie audience, and especially to make the movie meld more with LOTR for the millions of fans of those movies. The Hobbit is such a magical book for me...I don't know, I just fear that a movie would destroy the magic. LOTR, imo, was more suited to movie-dom--and even then, the movie still can't match the magic of the book, for me.
Well anyway I guess there's no use speculating when the project hasn't even been started yet, and may never be. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!

Vexed beyond all imagination?
Okay, Mods, not sure where this should go--Tolkien forum, perhaps, but it seems the broader fantasy audience would be better.
But I am vexed, flummoxed, distracted, and dumbfounded by the news that New Line has basically told Peter Jackson and his team, "No thanks. We don't need you for The Hobbit Movie. We'd rather keep a little bit more money."
If you haven't read this amazing letter written by the genius director of the LotR movies, you can read it here: http://www.theonering.net/staticnews/1163993546.html
Maybe this is sheer venting, but anyone else out there have some thoughts on this? Am I the only one who feels New Line just raised the bar on greed?
Is there any way that SFF can flex its muscle and tell New Line, No Jackson, No Hobbit???
Mannnn, I'm miffed.
November 21st, 2006, 02:11 PM #24
Actually, pretty glad at this because -- although Jackson would do a great job with the visuals -- I'd be worried that he'd screw around with the essential nature of the characters as he did with LOTR, i.e., turn Aragorn into a simpering, angst-ridden weakling.
November 21st, 2006, 02:25 PM #25
There are Tolkien purists who could find fault with any screen adaptation that could ever be made. I am a Tolkien purist, but not to that degree. In essence what Jackson did was nothing short of miraculous. To capture so much of the heart of LotR, the settings, the relationships---just an amazing feat to me.
I think to have anyone else do The Hobbit would create such a HUGE disconnect between that and LotR. Directors have such different styles and visions. Imagine what some other directors would do: Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, etc. It would be so very different (maybe not bad in and of itself) that a mental block would exist in the vision of Tolkien's work.
And on the note of creative liberty: I for one would like to see some creative development of the "gray areas" of The Hobbit. I mean, actually seeing the White Council make war on the Necromance in Mirkwood---that would rock!

As a lawyer, I think it's important to remember that in litigation, particularly disputes about contracts, rights, fees, etc., there is always more than one side to the story. Further, litigants tend to use whatever means available of painting their adversaries as the "bad guys"--including going to the public with e-mails to fan sites.
What's more, nobody has a monopoly on greed--after all, Jackson's lawsuit demands a very large amount of money on top of the earnings he's already made.
I don't know which side, if any, is "right." It's quite possible that what's really happening is that both sides are positioning themselves for further negotiation and that Jackson will ultimately find himself reinstated, as it were, and that his lawsuit will be settled giving him a payoff.
November 21st, 2006, 03:20 PM #27
Oh there's a lot more examples I could give, but yeah, I think we'll just have to disagree. Plus, there's less room for jiggering about with character in the Hobbit. And Jackson would do a great job with bringing Smaug to life . . .
(OT: the recent pictures of PJ look great. He's lost a lot of weight. Maybe he could play Thorin?)
November 21st, 2006, 03:58 PM #28
Nope, this needs to go to the Tolkein forum or the Film forum. I'll put it in Tolkein for now and you can see how it goes.
For the record, I think Jackson needs to move on, and since he's turning himself into a major film studio at this point, including numerous fantasy projects, I don't know when he'd have the time to do the film anyway. Let somebody else take a shot, and since the Hobbit is more of a kid's book, maybe make it a little more kid-friendly. Though the purists would probably get out the torches on that. But Jackson did not do well with King Kong -- no director is bullet-proof, and most of the time, they do better if they try out something new, rather than rehash the same old franchise.
And when New Line and Jackson patch things up, as they will -- they always do -- Jackson can be involved as a producer and loan out his Hobbit village. It might mean we get a Hobbit movie sooner this way.
November 21st, 2006, 10:43 PM #29
In a way, I almost hope it turns out to be a colossal failure. I would love to see the studio mess up the good thing they had with LOTR. Hollywood execs just seem to be the most short sighted, narrow minded, disgusting greedy people. They don't care at all about the magic of these books, just the magic of big bucks.
I'd love to see a fan-boycott if they don't get PJ, but I know it won't happen. If the movie looks at all decent, I'm sure every Tolkien freak (including myself) will be lined up on opening night.
Still, I think I will cry and cry and sob and cry some more, if they don't have Ian McKellen as Gandalf, and Andy Serkis as Gollum. That will be a tragic, tragic mistake in my opinion, and the movies will never measure up unless they're on-board.

Of course, this is all too soon anyway. I don't even think there is a screenplay written yet.
This to many of us cinema fans is a giant upset, simply because Jackson was anamazing director, and created three amazing movies. The new Hobbit movie has the potential for greatness, but also can be like the original dune movie, a complete and total flop.

From Kicking Tires:
http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...-at-17025.htmlWhen the 2013 Toyota Corolla goes on sale later this summer, it will start at $17,025, including a $795 destination fee. That's a $100 increase in the MSRP and a $35 increase in the destination fee.
The 2013 Toyota Corolla is available in L, S and LE trims. For the 2013 model year, all Corolla trims get a new front grille. The LE trim gets a chrome grille and a chrome-accented beltline. Photos of the updates won't be available until September, according to Toyota North American representatives. Both LE and S trims get a 6.1-inch touch-screen display with USB connectivity and Bluetooth streaming audio, standard. The S trim sees a $240 price increase, and the LE trim gets a $270 price increase.
The LE is available with two new packages, and the S with three new packages, including a Premium Complete Package, which comes with navigation and Toyota's new Entune multimedia system and automatic climate control. The North American 2013 Toyota Corolla is already in production in Japan (since July 9); Toyota will begin production at its two North American plants in early August.

Japanese Beef Rolls with Mizkan Ponzu
This is the second installment of Mizkan, Bringing Flavor to Life campaign on Rasa Malaysia. (Please check out the Salmon Teriyaki recipe and the Mizkan landing page.) The featured recipe today is Japanese beef rolls and enoki mushroom with Ponzu sauce.
One of the defining characteristics of Japanese cuisine is its emphasis on visual presentation, and this recipe delivers just that. This is often my go-to recipe whenever I have a party, or whenever I wish to impress my guests. These beef rolls are best served as an appetizer as your guests take in sips of wine and mingle around. They certainly have that WOW factor and absolutely delicious…
This beef roll recipe is inspired by the popular beef tataki, or sliced seared beef prepared using the tataki cooking technique. Traditionally, tataki-style beef are prepared using a Japanese mesh grill tray over charcoal fire, with only the surface of the beef cooked. Then, the meat is plunged into a bowl of cold water to stop the beef from cooking. For my beef roll recipe, I adapted and simplified the cooking method so everyone can attempt it easily at home. I prefer my beef cooked so I used a non-stick pan and seared the beef until slightly charred on the surface.
Two of the most important components of this recipe is the marinade and the serving sauce. For the marinade, I used Mizkan (Bonito Flavored) Soup Base and Mizkan HONTERI Mirin Seasoning, and for the serving, I drizzled the beef rolls with Mizkan AJIPON® Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Soy Sauce. I especially love the Ponzu sauce as it adds a citrusy flavor to the beef rolls and complements the taste beautifully.
Ponzu has become more common due to the increased popularity of Japanese cuisine. Nowadays, you can easily find Ponzu at regular grocery stores here in the United States. There are many brands of Ponzu available, but Mizkan AJIPON® Ponzu is the best, in all honesty. I am saying this not because I am working with Mizkan, but because I have another bottle of Ponzu by another Japanese manufacturer in my pantry. After a side-by-side taste test, Mizkan AJIPON® Ponzu is a clear winner.
Do try out this Japanese beef rolls recipe. It's really quite a treat.

I think I've had this at a high-end Japanese restaurant somewhere, it was delicious. Glad that you shared the recipe. Where can I get Mizkan ponzu?
I've always wondered what I can do with ponzu sauce. Thanks for this recipe, now I know how to use it.
Love the pictures and your recipe. Would be great if you can share more ponzu recipes. I only use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings/gyoza.
Oh YUm! Nice and simple. Looks so delicious.
How do you make Ponzu sauce?
How to make Ponzu sauce?
Hi, I've a question on your cornflakes cookies. How long do I need to cream butter & sugar on my Kenwood electric mixer and at what speed? I'm a new baker & appreciate your reply. TQ.
This looks amazing! What makes one ponzu sauce better than the other?
this is such a simple recipe but it looks delicious and elegant. good party food!
This looks really good. I have never tried this!
These are beautiful. Bet they're delicious, too.
A few years back, Nakano was making a push into my local grocer with mirin, rice vinegar and such. They reorganized and renamed themselves as Mizkan to bring themselves into alignment as a single global brand. They were also known as Mitsukan for a while too in some parts of the world.
We love tis dish. Now, I can learn to make this too…thks for sharing Bee Yinn.
I have eaten a similar dish with asparagus instead of enoki called asparagyu. it is super yummy I could bet that this is just as good.
