'Dumb and Dumber To' Review: An Unlikely Argument For the Power of Sequels
- By Kate Erbland
- @katerbland
- November 13, 2014
Here's a pleasant surprise: Dumb and Dumber To is a success. This, of course, comes with some qualifications. As a sequel to 1994's comedy cult classic, Dumb and Dumber, this new feature is a success. On its own, well, probably not so much. Twenty years sounds like a tremendous gap between sequels —...

What do we know about comedy sequels? Let's think about this year's biggest comedy sequel so far, 22 Jump Street, which lovingly pulls from both its first film and its source material (as much as we can call a bad eighties television show "source material," like it's a J.R.R. Tolkien book or...

It's, in a word, perfect. Talk about Bobby and Peter Farrelly's sequel to their comedy classic Dumb and Dumber had just about reached Ghostbusters 3 proportions (a special new realm occupied by Kick-Ass 2 talk) back in June when Jim Carrey dropped out, but the pair seem bound and determined...

With imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, the original Three Stooges would be most flattered (if they were still alive, of course) by the new Farrelly Brothers' film The Three Stooges. They could also very well be turning over in their graves. Even Joe Besser and Curly Joe DeRita...

LA JUNTA — Club Cosmo, a student organization associated with the Otero Junior College Cosmetology Career Academy, will be sponsoring their eighth annual "Cuts for Cans" food drive to benefit area food banks. In exchange for a minimum of three canned food items patrons can receive a free haircut at the academy's salon.
The project began on Oct. 17 and will continue through Nov. 16. The canned food collected will be given to Associated Charities and Head Start in La Junta, Salvation Army Food Banks in: Rocky Ford, Manzanola, Fowler and Crowley County. Donations will also be made to the food pantry at Las Animas Helping Hands and the Bent County Food Endeavour in Las Animas.
According to Tammy Dorenkamp, director of the academy, the "Cuts for Cans" project has been a great success in previous years, so students from this year's academy wanted to continue the tradition.
"Community service is one of the areas of professional development we stress at the academy. We emphasize the need for our students to get involved in their communities and to look for ways that they can be of service," said Dorenkamp. "The students realize that there are families in need within the area communities and this project allows them to use their skills and talents to help make a difference in someone's life," she said.
Men, women, and children can all take advantage of the free haircuts in exchange for three or more canned food items. The salon is open every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday through Nov. 16. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday. In addition to hair services, patrons can also receive skin and nail services. If patrons would like to secure a time-slot, they can call 719-384-6990 for an appointment. Walk-in appointments are also available.
The OJC Cosmetology Career Academy is located in McDivitt Hall on the San Juan Avenue side of the Otero Junior College Campus. Patrons can park in the McDivitt Hall parking lot and enter the academy's main entrance on the building's east side, marked by a large pink canopy.

Oswald Maxwell of Maxwell's grocery is calling it quits and handing over the reins to someone one else after two decades.
Come Friday, someone new will be at the helm of the long-time family owned business at the corner of 90 East and Crump Road.
Maxwell is getting out of the business, leasing it out to new managers.
All day long gas customers have been greeted by out of order signs and news that Mr. Maxwell is hanging up his hat.
Mark Pickel, a customer, said, "I've been shopping here for 11 years. I come in here four times a day. It is real convenient to my house. When he told me the news this morning it broke my heart."
Oswald Maxwell, owner, said, "We hate to go, to leave the people. I guess you could say we got caught up with the system, with the times. My wife and I hate to leave. Real nice folks out here, great place."
Maxwell will be leasing out the store. The familiar name will stay the same, and he adds employees who want a job with the new management will have one.

Both have similar riding styles, which mean, the both have the 125 and 250cc school.They both need a strong front end to keep their high speed thru the corners. Dovisioso will suffer in the begining at Ducati and if they don't change the concept, probably, in the end of the 2 years contract, he'll leave as well...There are some ignorante people here... Most of the haters here talk like if it's your body and you bones getting broken and bruised. Stoner raced a damaged ankle... Big deal!? Is he the first one to do that? Lorenzo did a couple of 2nd places with BOTH sprain ankles in his rookie year!!!! He couldn't even walk. Rossi got a 3rd in Donington with broken ankle and fingers. Why's Stoner so special?

I have a private key file that will be used in the following two use-cases:
SSH -i /path/to/private/keywithin terminal -- Requires 600 permission set

The file currently has permissions set at

Please can anyone suggest a viable solution, whilst maintaining good security on the key file, to enable me to use the same key file for both the aforementioned use-cases?

As a result of the changes driven by The HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act, all Covered Entities and Business Associates must be compliant and completing a formal Security Risk Analysis is a crucial step in doing so. Enforcement of compliance has increased significantly over the last year and includes the following:
- Mandatory Audits
- Business Associates Must Comply With New Laws
- Subcontractors Must Comply With New Laws
- Non-compliance Fines Are Being Enforced
- Stiffer Penalties
- Jurisdiction Provided To State Attorneys General To File Civil Actions Against Violators
Because of this, it is more important now, than ever before, to build your organizations risk management program on a methodical and proven software solution.
Based on NIST 800-series methodologies, HIPAA One® rigorously follows the 9-step process to conduct a Security Risk Analysis per the following Federal guidance:
Engagement Models
After working in HIPAA Security since 2006 in Health I.T. environments, we began focusing on the HIPAA Security Rule translating the complex requirements and rules into pragmatic, repeatable process. Married with medical workflow and real-world experience, HIPAA One® was originally designed so many consultants could perform the HIPAA SRA process in a consistent and complete fashion improving quality. We took cues from the PCI industry's best self-assessment questionnaires (PCI-SAQ) and incorporated these evolutions into our first release. Although it does help to have security experience to use HIPAA One®, it is designed so anyone with attention to detail can successfully complete the process. Reporting, documentation are all automated providing all the features spreadsheets don't while providing build-in controls to ensure the process is complete and satisfies all requirements.
Good: Guided Self-Assessment & Risk Analysis*
If your organization has an internal HIPAA Security Officer, or someone who wants to independently perform their own internal HIPAA Security Risk Analysis as part of a comprehensive risk management program, this option may be best for you and is the most cost-effective solution. This option covers all 78-HIPAA-compliance checks and is the "bare minimum" to check compliance and conduct a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis for the organization using our step-by-step, guided HIPAA One® workflow. Our certified-audit team will kick-off the process by setting up the software, and provide unlimited support throughout your project to ensure completion. The software comes with delegation, role-based setup and use to ensure collaboration between departments improving communications, awareness and operational clarity.
Better: Remote Risk Analysis*
Want additional liability protection? You may wish to have our certified audit team provide full analysis of each response ensuring appropriate controls are in place, and functioning properly. In other words, our team remotely provides all deliverables, physical walk-through checklists, remediation planning guidance and support and signing of the final report.
If you organization needs additional resources to complete the risk analysis and desires full guidance, consulting and training, this is a cost-effective way to ensure these services are all delivered remotely saving travel costs and approximately 20% of the professional services fees.
Best: Onsite Risk Analysis*
The preferred delivery model for larger organizations, or organizations desiring "boots on the ground", in addition to the Remote Risk Analysis, our team visits each site conducting a physical walkthrough checking for physical security, ePHI media, encryption, malware & software patches among onsite remediation planning and Executive Presentation of the results. For HIPAA controls already in place, we measure security process maturity in an effective comprehensive risk management program. This is the traditional onsite HIPAA Security Risk Analysis desired by most organizations and provides the maximum impact.
*All HIPAA One® licenses include:
- 1 year of access to our SaaS platform
- Access to our experienced, certified audit and security team
- Nessus Professional Feed® Vulnerability Scan
- Policies and Procedures Templates
- $100,000 Breach Assurance
- Automated Risk Analysis, documentation and reporting
- Unlimited users and remediation updates
- State, Federal and Best Practice updates
- Access to our Certified Audit Support Team
- Web site "Certified Compliant Seal"
- All data portable to PDF or .csv file

Darlene Holloway had a tougher time in high school than many of her peers, but it wasn't because of her grades.
"It was just extremely painful to walk," she says. The only way I could, you know, describe it was that my rib cage was sitting on top of my pelvis."
Spondyloptosis is a severe deformity that this father-son team of surgeons says is difficult to correct with standard surgeries.
"Those leave the patient with a residual deformity, which may result in not only a limited cosmetic result, but also a higher risk that they're going to have continued problems with their back," says Dr. Charles Edwards, II.
Dr. Charles Edwards pioneered a detailed surgery to fix the deformity.
"It takes a great deal of patience to do this procedure," Dr. Edwards adds.
In a surgery that takes about ten hours, Dr. Edwards uses these tools to stretch the ligaments and pull the spine upright. He also stretches the nerves.
"I found that to a remarkable extent, they can accommodate several inches of lengthening."
He compares the surgery to the eastern philosophy of gardening.
"I see the same ropes and stakes pushing trees to create the shapes the gardener wants. It added some inches, of course, to me and it also relieved the pain."
At twenty-nine, this college student says she doesn't even notice the hardware in her back.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by king_rat (13)
elvislegs, its one of the most famous climbs in the area, and many people go just to climb this climb. Its not that difficult but looks quite spectacular(about 5.9/5.10). On a summer day it probably gets a dozen ascents.
Re the amount of gear, if you are going to lead it onsight, then its difficult to tell whats needed from the ground. You can probably rule out the bigger cams, but other then that you would probably want to take one of each size.

Obama National Security Adviser to Speak at Anti-Israel Conference
James Jones, President Obama's National Security Advisor, has agreed to be the keynote speaker at the anti-Israel group J Street's first annual conference in Washington next week. While the group bills itself as the "pro Israel" and "pro peace" alternative to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, in reality it is a liberal organization actively campaigning against Israel's right to defend itself. As Michael Goldfarb has noted, other speakers at the conference include Eli Pariser, the former director of Moveon.org, and Salam Al-Marayati, who was quoted in the New York Times in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks saying Israel should be considered a prime suspect:
''If we're going to look at suspects, we should look to the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies.''
The announcement that Jones will speak comes as a growing number of Democratic members of Congress have announced they would drop out of participating in the conference, causing J Street to blame the Weekly Standard for employing a "classic 'swift boat' move" by publishing actual statements made by participants in the conference.
With each passing day, the outright contempt the Obama administration has for Israel becomes more apparent.
Goldfarb has more.

Dealing with Diabetes in School
By PEGGY MCCARTHY
Published: October 10, 1999
THE sixth-grade class attended by Catherine Agonis was going on a trip for five days to a nature center in northern Connecticut. Catherine's mother asked teachers if an adult, who knew how to take action if her diabetic daughter's blood sugar dropped, could accompany Catherine. The teachers said no and that Catherine should stay home. Except for teachers, the trip was to include only children, they explained.
Jill Agonis, Catherine's mother, appealed to school administrators in Greenwich. They allowed Catherine's stepfather to accompany her. He was able to give her a routine blood check at 2 A.M. to make sure that she had not passed out or gone into a diabetic coma. To avoid interfering with the teachers' planned activities, he kept his distance from the class. Catherine and her stepfather slept in a cabin separate from the rest of the group.
Catherine is one of thousands of children around the state with juvenile diabetes, a disease that is estimated to strike one in 500 children across the country. Although estimates vary on the number of children with diabetes across the state, advocates of children with diabetes and medical centers say that the number of children with the disease seems to be on the rise and advances in technology are permitting children to better manage the illness. But they say also rising is the number of reports, like Catherine's, of problems with the way schools handle diabetic children's needs.
Gail M. Shelton and Sara Trachten, executive directors of the Hartford and New Haven Juvenile Diabetes foundations, respectively, said that though many families are satisfied with their diabetic children's schools, some problems persist. Some students are prevented from having a snack or glucose tablets in their classrooms when their blood sugar is low because of policies restricting food to the cafeteria, they are sometimes refused permission to get water or to go to a lavatory, which is necessary when blood sugar levels rise and they are excluded from class trips or sports.
One reason for the increase in complaints, said Ms. Trachten, could be the increase in children with diabetes coupled with doctors' encouragement that children be more self-reliant in managing their illness. Recent studies that have found there is less likelihood of complications like blindness and kidney disease when a diabetic's blood sugar is tested frequently and insulin -- which diabetics have a shortage of -- is administered when needed.
Two routines of a diabetic child's life: testing blood and administering insulin have recently become simpler. More children are using insulin pumps, which are hidden under their clothes and provide a measured dosage of insulin over the course of a day. The pump eliminates the need for insulin shots and visits to the nurse's office for them. And advances in the blood test give children the ability to quickly do it themselves.
Mrs. Shelton said many children to want to test discreetly in the classroom to avoid calling attention to themselves as they leave the room and then try to catch what they missed in class. ''The last thing you want is to have a child with juvenile diabetes singled out and made to feel different,'' she said.
In East Haddam, the blood testing issue is being fought in court. The Crosses brought a suit against the school district after officials refused to let Katelyn Cross test her blood sugar in class, requiring her to go to the nurse's office instead. The procedure, done in seconds, uses a retracting, pen-like instrument, and the blood is caught in a plastic container. The family objected to having the nurse administer the test, and Katelyn's mother, Doreen Cross, went to the school several times aday to test her daughter's blood sugar in the family car. Nearly six years after it was filed, the case is still pending in U.S. District Court. This year, Katelyn transferred to St. John's School in Old Saybrook, where she is permitted to test her blood in the classroom.
Advocates for diabetics insist the new test is safe and does not jeopardize other students. They said children are more exposed to blood when a youngster scrapes a knee in a school playground. But some school officials say such policies are well-founded. Thomas Murphy, spokesman for the State Department of Education, said that schools have a responsibility to be even-handed in dealing with all students. ''We would expect that schools be reasonable in accommodating students' particular medical needs,'' he said. Blood testing is complicated, he said, adding that the courts may have to decide whether it is safe for a child to test blood in the classroom. He explained that many schools started establishing policies regarding bodily fluids, particularly blood, a result of concern about H.I.V. and AIDS.
Patrice A. McCarthy, deputy director of the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, said that conducting blood sugar testing in the classroom could expose a school to lawsuits. ''If something should go wrong, schools have a great exposure in terms of safeguarding the health and welfare of children,'' she said. ''They are better protected if any type of procedure is done in the nurse's office.''

Editor's note: Throughout this election season, we will be regularly analyzing campaign claims via our political polygraph.
Claim: "Michael Hancock gave himself a pay raise while first responders cut their own pay."
A mailing to Denver voters from Citizens for Accountability
Facts: We find this mailing's first claim to be in the "Gray Area," and its second claim is "Nothing But the Truth." But a third claim that Hancock used tax money to go on a vacation in China is a "Whopper."
Overall, the mailer lands in the "Gray Area."
Under state law, elected officials cannot give themselves raises. Every four years, the City Council sets the pay for incoming council and other Denver elected officials. In January 2007 and this year, the council approved pay raises for incoming elected officials. Hancock voted to increase the pay both times. In 2007, he was running unopposed. So he did, after the fact, receive a pay raise. But it is conceivable that he could have lost the election. This year, he also voted to approve the pay raise, but he could lose the election and he says he will not accept the $10,000 pay raise for mayor if he is elected.
In 2009, Denver fire and police staffers voted to forgo pay raises for two years to save the city millions of dollars. This prevented proposals to lay off 50 firefighters and 92 cops. Pinning it to Hancock's "management" must be alluding to his pay-raise vote in 2007.
Hancock was the only elected official from Denver to travel with Gov. Bill Ritter in November 2008 on a 10-day Asian trade mission. Hancock's trip, which cost nearly $10,000, was paid for by Denver International Airport. DIA's budget is not backed by tax dollars.

Cycle Stuff Direct Look At The Perceptions Of Cycling
SOUTHAMPTON, England, December 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A couple of weeks ago the National Institute for Health and Clinic Excellence (NICE) released new guidelines for local authorities who will be responsible for public health from April 2013. NICE reported that 3/4 of women and 2/3 of men do not exercise enough to stay healthy and fit and stated that cycling should be the key mode of transport for short journeys. Bicycle clothing and accessories website, Cycle Stuff Direct, are advocates of this as cycling has huge health benefits including weight loss, reducing stress and improving overall fitness.Dereck Pickering, Operations Director, says "Not only is cycling great for overall fitness, but compared to cars being used for short journey, it saves money and is better for the environment. I'm happy that NICE are advocating cycling as there has always been, and still are, concerns about safety and negative press that put people off cycling. An example of this is the BBC's documentary about commuter cyclists that was broadcasted last week." The documentary, "The War on Britain's Roads" showed video footage from cyclists' road bike helmets which included near misses and very angry drivers. Dramatising is what the media do but many people found this extreme. MPs and campaigners have described the documentary is "sensationalist" and "irresponsible." Dereck says that the issues covered on the programme were over the top and not successful in illustrating the truth. He states, "Cyclists including me have had zero problems when it comes to cycling on the roads. Many drivers overtake me safely and pass without incident. It's such a shame that when something negative is said about cycling it has a huge impact on people's perception of cycling."

We had no problems with obtaining our tickets. We found the play a bit disappointing. It was a little out of sync for us. The director chose modern dress. That seemed a little odd considering that it involved an absolute monarch with life and death powers over his subjects and frequent references to the Greek gods. It just didn't seem to go with three-button grey suits. It really would have made more sense to use period costuming.

Oh, dear. I was neither impressed nor enchanted. Has great production values and stagecraft, but no heart.

This was a clever staging on The Winter's Tale with some top-notch actors playing multiple parts. It wasn't a traditional setting, nor were the performances "traditional", but it was very good.
Running time is about 2 hours 45 minutes, with one intermission.

|New Exhibition Opening at the Figge
|News Releases - Art, Galleries & Museums
|Written by Natalie Dunlop
|Tuesday, 21 January 2014 15:46
Katja Loher: Videoplanet–Orchestra
Davenport, Iowa (January 21, 2014) – Beginning Saturday, New York-based Swiss video artist Katja Loher will create a multi-sensory environment in the third floor gallery of the Figge Art Museum for the exhibition Katja Loher: Videoplanet–Orchestra.
This site-specific "inter-planetary" installation will feature kaleidoscopic video works projected onto floating spheres and from within glass spheres. Elements from new and existing works will be incorporated and will all come together for the first time.
Visitors of Katja Loher: Videoplanet–Orchestra will enter the darkened third floor gallery space into a magical universe of floating spheres of varying sizes, whose rounded forms serve as sites for video projections. Museum patrons will have the chance to peer into a series of mini or micro-worlds in which costumed dancers form letters that compose words and sentences to pose simple, thought-provoking questions.
Loher's dramatic installation creates dreamlike, immersive environments for the visitor that question the balance between humans, nature and technology. Each tiny "universe" in the exhibition provides an elaborate commentary on big issues.
The exhibition is presented through a generous grant from the Riverboat Development Authority and through a multi-year grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the Eastern Iowa Community College District and will be on view through May 4, 2014.

Ten months after we left them, how are the mums coping with parenthood?
We took this colourful gaggle of pregnant ladies to our hearts and now they're back with some super-cute babies in tow! Unsurprisingly, with Kay Mellor at the helm, there's no let-up on the drama now the little ones are getting older. While both Rosie (Hannah Midgley) and Jasmin (Taj Atwal) are expecting again and face fresh challenges, a newborn is found abandoned... But it's Kim (Katherine Parkinson) who takes centre stage as she struggles to take time away from her baby and neglects her relationship with Neil (Jonathan Kerrigan), while her ex, Susie (Tara Fitzgerald), has a surprise in store. Fantastically watchable drama.

While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

16-year-old Casey Lantz Hare, a BMX rider from Joplin, Mo. was killed by Sunday's tornado that struck the Joplin area. Hare was a student at Joplin High School, an avid BMXer that spent many hours at the Autumn Ramp Park, and a student apprentice to Autumn Ramp Park director Jeremiah Anderson in his spare time.
Lantz's mother Michelle Hare told CNN that her son was ripped from a car Sunday night by winds exceeding 200 mph in Joplin, and that his body had been located after a four-day search by Hare's friends, family and Joplin Police.
John Andrus, a member of the Dirt Brothers crew and friend of Lantz, remembered him fondly. "Lantz basically lived on his bike and he always had a huge smile on his face. He put in tons of time helping me re-model Autumn Ramp Park every year. We will miss him a ton!"
Through the Autumn Ramp Park's Facebook page, Autumn Ramp Park director Jeremiah Anderson also issued a statement. "Thank you everyone for all the love, support and prayers for our friend Lantz Pantz. If you haven't already seen, our brother and friend has passed away. We want to focus on our love for Lantz and celebrate his life. We love and miss Lantz more than anything else."
Meanwhile, members of the professional BMX community offered their condolences to Lantz's family. Aaron Ross said "R.I.P Lantz Hare" via Twitter, and called him "BMX family." Terry Adams, who has competed in Joplin at the Autumn Ramp Park for the past several years, added, "My thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest in Peace man," via Twitter.
The tornado that struck Joplin on Sunday night was the deadliest tornado in the United States in 64 years. As of Thursday, 232 people are still reported missing, and the official death toll is at 126. More than 900 were injured, according to government officials in Joplin. It was the eighth deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
Since 2006, Autumn Ramp Park at The Bridge has attracted pro BMXers from the U.S. and abroad for the annual JoMoPro contest, and has featured $25,000 cash purses, and Harley Davidson motorcycles as Best Trick awards. For 2011, the contest switched focus to amateur riders, and was renamed "JoMoShowdown."
Hare had competed at the JoMoPro Intermediate level in 2010, and had moved up to the Expert class earlier this year.
Our thoughts are with Lantz's family, friends and the residents of Joplin during this difficult time.

Seattle City Council candidate Tim Burgess' campaign has been penalized for not reporting nearly $30,000 it spent on radio ads the end of August. Burgess' folks argued earlier this month that it was a question of when the ads were actually purchased versus when they were produced. But in a letter to Burgess, Seattle Ethics and Elections Executive Director Wayne Barnett notes that Northwest Passage Consulting, on behalf of the campaign, wrote a check to the radio stations Aug. 30.
"In this case the campaign committee clearly violated the code," Barnett says. Seattle elections code requires that all expenditures, including obligations or debts, be reported in a timely fashion. Incomplete or inaccurate reports are subject to a $10/day fine. In the letter, Barnett says that he settled on the $100 figure by weighing the limited time the inaccurate information was out there (Burgess' treasurer added the expense to the report the day after it was due), and the substantial amount of cash it involved.
The penalty is on the agenda as a discussion item for next Wednesday's Ethics Commission meeting, but Barnett says it's a done deal because Burgess has already paid the fine. Asked if it made any difference that Burgess is a former Ethics Commission chairman, Barnett says: "We tried to keep the blinders on and treat it as if it was done by anybody, no better, no worse."

This park is a little jewel hidden in southeastern Oklahoma. One section of the park is reserved for equestrian camping, one section for RV camping, and the third section for tent camping. Beautiful tall pine trees throughout the camp. Boats are limited to 7.5 horsepower, providing for a tranquil setting while hiking the many trails near the lake. Longer trails (for hikers, backpackers and equestrians) begin at the park and climb Winding Stair Mountain (elevation 2,451') which is directly south of the park. Deer and other wildlife, including black bear, are often seen in the area. - Billy & Barbie

Very nice caretaker on-site and they have safe pens for your horses to stay in as well. The park had many trees for you to stay cool under and the concrete parking pads were great for leveling out. We even enjoyed a nice rain shower while we were here and had a relaxing camp fire in the fire ring. I would recommend to you even if you don't have horses. It is fun to see them ride by while you cook your meals and enjoy some rest in the mountains. - DeGan

Do you think Peter Jackson's Hobbit films will be big successes?

National News
Cate Blanchett ''is passionately in love'' with Sir Ian McKellen, Barry Humphries enjoyed getting nude and Sir Peter Jackson just can't wait. The Hobbit love-in is underway.
Send your pictures of the Hobbit premiere day - whether you're there or celebrating somewhere else - to us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The stars of the show kicked off today's official Hobbit premiere festivities with a press conference at Te Papa in Wellington this morning.
Nearby, outside The Embassy theatre, more than 5000 fans staked out their possies next to the red carpet for when the stars begin their public parade around 4.30pm. Some had been there since 9pm last night, all were terribly excited.
The people they're waiting to see were also in an ebullient mood.
When British actor Martin Freeman, who plays the hobbit Bilbo and his known for his colourful language, was asked if he was a bit like the character and preferred the quiet life, he replied: "If I do I'm f*****.''
Australian comedian Barry Humphries, best known for his role as Dame Edna Everage, is the motion capture model for the goblin king in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
"It's the first film in which I've appeared nude," he said, bringing the house down with laughter.
British actor Sylvester McCoy, who plays wizard Radagast the Brown, explained the mystery surrounding his appearance in the first film, where his hair is caked in white on one side. "I was wearing bird shit on my face," he said. "But I had a blast really."
Cate Blanchett, who reprised the role of elf Galadriel, said a highlight was working again with Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf).
She was disappointed he could not attend the world premiere.
"I'm passionately in love with him.''
Blanchett said she had brought her boys on to the set and was comfortable with it being a film to show to children.
"Grimm's fairytales are wonderful things to read to children. It [The Hobbit] is a wonderful tale."
Richard Armitage, who plays Thorin, the head dwarf, said in terms of detail and image, the film was ''nothing like I've ever seen before".
Jackson said staff had been working up to the last minute to get the film finished.
"It hasn't really sunk in that it's done and I hope to get the real feeling after tonight's premiere," the filmmaker said. "But as long as we have some petrol in the car to drive the movie to the embassy in time, we're fine,'' he joked.
He said finding the perfect actor to play the goblin king was key.
''The character is gross, has some personal hygiene issues and is verbally raw, so it was was quite naturally to look towards Australia,'' Jackson laughed.
"And from all the Australians available to us, Barry Humphries was ideal."
Asked about the new 3D filming technology used for the Hobbit, which was criticised when scenes were shown at Comic-Con earlier this year, he said the film would be released in 24,000 theatres worldwide of which only about 1000 were able to screen in the 48 frames per second format.
"We're just dipping our toe in the water. As a filmmaker I have the responsibility to look at what's around now, and enhance the experience," Jackson said.
The new crisp format was a bit like hearing a CD for the first time. "The sound of music was the scratching of a needle and suddenly it was all clear."
Jackson struck the only real serious note we he reiterated that no animals were killed or harmed during the filming of The Hobbit, as claimed by former wranglers and animal rights organisation PETA.
He dismissed the claims as "pretty pathetic" and said it was ''an insult to the cast and crew".
Elijah Wood, who reprised his role, said returning to New Zealand to film with Jackson was like returning home.
"It was a gift and very unexpected, as Frodo isn't a character in the book. Looking into the mirror and seeing Frodo, that was magical.''
Three massive cave trolls joined the hobbits, elves and thousands of other J.R.R. Tolkien enthusiasts camped out ahead of the premiere.
The 1800kg Weta Workshop installation, which took almost six weeks to model and make, was set up near the red carpet on the corner of Tory St from 7am this morning, Weta assistant Ri Streeter said.
The trolls join sculptures of Gandalf at Bag End on the Embassy Theatre roof and Gollum at Wellington Airport.
Meanwhile, by 8am fans had taken all the prime space in front of the barrier, from Tory St to the Embassy Theatre.
Auckland University students Sarah Reif and Willemyn Dagevos would be keeping their eyes peeled for Andy Serkis, who plays Gollum.
''I've wanted to see him since I was 10,'' Reif said.
Too young to attend the premiere of the Return of the King, she thought she'd never get the chance to be part of the release of a Tolkien film, so was overjoyed when she found out the Hobbit would be made.
''It's fulfilling 10 years of dreams.''
Tolkien enthusiasts Charlie Allan, Elise Hart and Victoria Gridley had camped near Blair St overnight in full Hobbit costume, befriending a group that had brought a couch to sleep on.
The Melburnians had come to New Zealand on a Hobbit premiere tour, but said tonight would be the pinnacle of their trip, despite them getting very little sleep, Hart said.
''Just to be part of the passion of it all is life-changing.''
They had met director Peter Jackson and star Elijah Wood at Monday's pre-premiere party organised by fansite TheOneRing.net, and were now most looking forward to seeing Freeman.
Actor Mark Hadlow, who plays dwarf Dori in the films, and Wellington mayor Celia Wade-Brown, stopped by Courtenay Place earlier this morning to greet the queued fans.
Pre-screening entertainment in Courtenay Place begins at 2pm, with the stars and VIPs expected to arrive on the red carpet from 4.30pm onwards.
The premiere screenings at The Embassy and Reading cinemas begin at 7pm.

The Turlock City Council will consider a comprehensive repeal and replacement of the Turlock Zoning Ordinance at Tuesday's meeting, something that the council previously deferred back to the Planning Commission for further consideration in January.
The road towards college and career readiness is hoping to undergo construction in order to become that much smoother for California high school students, thanks to Assembly Bill 288's passage on Tuesday out of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education.
The transition of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau contract from the hands of the Chamber of Commerce to the City of Turlock is being actualized as evidenced by the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission meeting on Wednesday.
The west steps of the State Capitol were abuzz with skateboarders on Monday, but it wasn't a sign of kids enjoying their spring break. Instead it was Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen and those interesting in getting a feet-on demonstration of electronic skateboards.
There is more crude oil being moved by rail across the United States than ever before said Acting Administrator for the Federal Railroad Association Sarah Feinberg on Tuesday at the Modesto Transportation Center.
Affordable housing projects could be on the uptick in California as the state's Housing Finance Agency announced a new program on Wednesday aimed at making it easier for developers to establish less expensive housing options.
After 10 years of evolving plans, another step has been taken towards developing property in the southeastern part of Turlock which will include an elementary school, city parks and residential housing.
After eight months of negotiations and five months of working without a contract, the Turlock Associated Police Officers and the City of Turlock have reached an agreement deemed acceptable to both sides.
The City of Turlock is considering steps it could take to make it more transparent to applicants why they are paying a litany of fees when they apply for a building permit following a workshop on Tuesday.
It's April 1, which means the days left to file taxes before the deadline are becoming fewer and fewer.
The City of Turlock is using precious well water to irrigate Pedretti Park after recycled water began having an adverse affect on the Coastal Redwoods that embellish the public facility.

Events could be returning to the downtown Turlock area with a bridal showcase this spring and a monthly food fair this summer pending the Turlock City Council's approval of road closures for the events at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Caltrans and its partners are beginning the first phase of a $133 million project to create a unique protective structure to protect the roadway from rockslides and restore State Route 140 between Mariposa and El Portal, and provide a safe, direct route to enter Yosemite National Park.

Alternative business funding to banks
With figures showing that lending to small businesses under the Government-subsidised Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme has plunged 23% in six months, experts are encouraging firms to look farther afield for vital cash.
Support: Vikkie Griffiths is poised to open a nursery to look after children
Community Development Finance Initiatives provide loans and support to small firms and are typically based in disadvantaged communities.
Most lending by these organisations is to micro-businesses - those with fewer than ten employees - and social enterprises.
Loans are made to those who struggle to find finance elsewhere.
For example, would-be entrepreneurs who have a poor credit history, a lack of collateral, or little or no business experience.
Cash is available for a variety of reasons, for example, as start-up capital or to buy property or equipment.
Many CDFIs will ask to see proof that applicants have been rejected by a High Street bank or mainstream loan company before they agree to lend money.
Bernie Morgan, chief executive of the Community Development Finance Association, says: 'While the major banks take a box-ticking approach to loan applications, CDFIs build a personal relationship with their customers and assess each case on its merits.
'Their interest rates are slightly higher than you'll find on the High Street, partly to reflect the risk they are taking on and also to enable them to recycle the finance back into the community.
'For many businesses, a CDFI is their only hope of securing the finance they need.'
Fredericks Foundation is a charity and CDFI that was set up in 2001 to provide finance to those in areas including Devon, Gloucestershire, Kent and Oxfordshire.
Applicants have to present a detailed business plan and appear before a lending panel to pitch their case.
Financial Mail last week attended the latest panel in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Applicants are quizzed on all aspects of the business, from their financial projections to their plans for growth and even their personal background, by a panel that includes an accountant, an entrepreneur and a representative from Fredericks.
A decision is then taken on whether to lend all or part of the sum requested, or whether to turn down the application.
Working out the finances on the business plan is essential, yet according to Charles Dodwell, chief executive of Fredericks Foundation, in 90% of the cases they see, the cash-flow projections are wrong. This does not necessarily mean a rejection.
Dodwell says: 'The criteria we look for are whether the business is viable and whether the applicant has the skills and the character to make it a success. We are giving firms a hand up, not a handout.'
All applicants are given feedback on the reasons for the decision taken and those who are offered finance are given support and mentoring to help ensure the business succeeds.
Fredericks has lent to 110 businesses and the loan default rate is about 25%, having risen from about 17%, during the recession.
Vikkie Griffiths is about to open her first children's nursery, Mary P, in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
Vikkie, 35, a former nursery worker, was turned down by the banks when she approached them for a loan.
Through Business Link, she heard about Fredericks and successfully applied for a £15,000 loan over three years.
Vikkie is a month away from having her first child with her partner, self-employed electrician Simon Brannigan, 35, and plans to combine motherhood with the new business.
She says: 'Fredericks have been very helpful and given me support as well as finance.
'They understood what I wanted to achieve, rather than just turning me down because I didn't tick the right boxes.'
