Recipe Finder: Pub cheese
Oct 08, 2012 (The Baltimore Sun - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) -- Dianne Bernsten from Baltimore was looking for a recipe for making pub cheese similar to one she remembers from the Hilltop Inn and Lounge in Bowie, Md., many years ago. She said she has tried several store-bought versions over the years and has not liked any. The web is full of pub cheese recipes, the majority of which start with processed cheese like Velveeta as a base, but a recipe for a homemade Irish cheddar and ale pub spread that I came across on the food blog sweetnicks.com sounded really tasty.
Blogger Cate O'Malley from Rockaway, N.J., said she adapted this recipe from one that was made during an Irish-themed cooking class she took a few years ago. She said this simple spread calls for basic ingredients you can keep on hand and is a great thing to whip up when you have last-minute company. The original recipe called for shaping the ingredients into a ball and rolling it in chopped fresh parsley and chives before serving. She said she skips that step and just mixes everything together and serves in a bowl along with crackers. So whether you decide you want to get fancy and shape this into a ball or simply serve it as is, this spread is chock full of flavor.
___ IRISH CHEDDAR AND ALE PUB CHEESE Makes: 1 medium-size cheese ball or about 2 cups spread.
2 { cups shredded extra-sharp Irish Cheddar cheese 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons heavy cream [ teaspoon cayenne pepper \ teaspoon sea salt \ cup Irish ale (or any other beer you have on hand) 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided 4 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided In a food processor, combine Cheddar, cream cheese, mustard, cream, cayenne and salt. Process 30 seconds. Add ale; process until smooth. Pulse in 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 2 tablespoons of the chives until just combined. Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
To serve: If desired, shape the chilled spread into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Just before serving, roll the ball in remaining chopped parsley and chives. Serve with crackers.
Recipe adapted from Shop-Rite cooking class ___ REQUESTS Gerri Papp from South Bend, Ind., is looking for a French-style doughnut or Beignet recipe. She said one she had one she liked that came from a women's magazine in the 1970s. It was a basic yeast dough that was cut into 2-inch squares before the final rising, and cooked in hot oil until puffed and then sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving.
Elaine Marie Smith from Reisterstown, Md., is looking for a recipe for making creamed cucumbers like ones her mother used to serve. Unfortunately, she does not have her mother's recipe, but she remembers that she would peel the cucumbers and slice them very thinly, allowing them to soak in salt water for 24 hours. Then they were drained and mixed with a creamed dressing that she thinks was made with mayonnaise and perhaps vinegar but not sour cream.
___ If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, and The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you send in more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper and be sure to include your name, address and daytime phone number. Important: Name and hometown must accompany recipes in order to be published. Please list the ingredients in order of use, and note the number of servings each recipe makes. Please type or print contributions. Letter and recipes may be edited for clarity.

Watchdog Puts Off Decision on Power Distributors' Permits
Bulgarian energy watchdog DKEVR has postponed its decision whether to scrap the permits of operating power distributors.
At DKEVR's session on Monday, it was revealed that the state-owned National Electricity Company (NEK) had presented new evidence regarding the alleged BGN 350 M debt of power distributor utilities.
DKEVR therefore decided to adjourn its final say until April 28, the wesbite Expert.bg has reported, quoting the watchdog's chief Boyan Boev, who stopped short of specifying the nature of the new evidence.
NEK claims that Czech-based CEZ and Energo-Pro, as well as Austrian-based EVN, are to pay millions of BGN to the company.
The power distributors, on their behalf, demand some BGN 150 M of compensations for uncollected renewable energy taxes and explain they have kep back part of the sum to balance on their budget.
DKEVR announced in mid-March it would suspend licenses of the power distributors if they do not deliver on their debts by March 28. NEK warned against not receiving the money, declaring this could pose a threat to energy security and supplies to users.
No official decision has been taken so far after the European Commission stepped in by sending a letter to Economy Minister Dragomir Stoynev demanding an explanation of Bulgaria's behaviour toward the companies.
EC Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger even asked Stoynev why the government is trying to meddle into a "trade dispute".
At Monday's session of DKEVR, ambassadors from various EU countries were present, namely Austria, the Czech Republic and Spain's envoys to Sofia.

A5a: What Can Behavioral Health Providers Do? Improving Primary Care of Dementia Through Integration.
Awareness of the importance of integrating brief assessment to detect cognitive decline during annual examinations of older adults in primary care (PC) is growing, due in part to provisions associated with the Medicare Annual Wellness visit. However, rates of detection of dementia in PC remain low. This presentation will provide a brief overview of timely research findings and facilitate discussion of relevant clinical practice applications for behavioral health providers (BHPs) in PC. Presenters will engage the audience in discussion about ways BHPs can support the identification of undetected dementia, with particular attention to integrating validated brief screening tools to assess for cognitive impairment into routine clinical practice, partnering with families to address management of dementia and co-morbid conditions, and collaborating with medical providers .

A5b: Senior Weak: Improving Professional Expertise in Integrated Care for Older Adults
The American population is rapidly aging but few physical or mental health clinicians have particular expertise in providing integrated care for the complex medical, cognitive, psychological and social needs of older adults. In this workshop, we will identify the key components for educating professionals and improving elder care through presenting three innovative programs--a university-based, interdisciplinary training program; a community-based, dementia-focused psychoeducation and support program; and a health-system-based program of team-based care coordination for high-utilizing, frail elderly patients.

B5a: How to Crash the Party: Bringing Behavioral Health Specialists to the Care Coordination Team
Care coordination of complex patients in primary care has traditionally focused on physical health and chronic illness. This workshop will discuss strategies for Behavioral Health Specialists to become active and valued members of care coordination teams through: role clarification, acknowledgement of differing expectations, development of foundational supports for the work, and other lessons learned. Participants will be encouraged to leave the workshop with an Action Plan focused on increasing behavioral health involvement in care coordination in their agency or program.

B5b: Fast Track - Psychiatrist as Consultant Has Triple Impact on Patient-Centered Medical Home
Fast Track is a collaborative solution to access challenges for psychiatric treatment. Using the shared EMR for effective real-time communication, the psychiatrist functions as consultant providing assessment and treatment planning. The PCP maintains responsibility for management. The model uses both face-to-face interaction and remote access through telemedicine. Fast Track reduces fragmentation and improves outcomes by providing prompt access to psychiatric intervention within the medical home and educates PCPs while lowering costs of care.

C5a: We Need a Bigger Boat! Expanding the Integrated Team to Meet Triple Aim Goals
Vulnerable populations often have poor health outcomes due to life stressors that fall outside the expertise of medical or mental health providers. By expanding the integrated care team to include legal services, job training, case managers, patient educators, community health navigators, and dentists, primary care clinics can go a long way to achieving triple aim goals. These additional services can also reduce frustration and burnout among integrated providers who are otherwise left dealing with the fallout from unaddressed problems.

C5b: Top-Down and Bottom-Up Strategies for Building a Robust Integrated Service
To initiate and sustain an integrated primary care service, both "Top-Down" and "Bottom-Up" approaches are needed. The Top-Down approach refers to the use of financial and clinical outcomes data that generates buy-in from administrators, while the Bottom-Up approach involves using the right clinical model to win support from primary care providers. Services that ignore one approach or the other are likely to falter. This presentation will equip attendees with the information they need for both approaches, to help ensure development of a robust integrated primary care service.

This presentation describes the Department of Veterans Affairs' interdisciplinary, integrated model of in-home care known as Home Based Primary Care (HBPC). HBPC provides comprehensive, longitudinal care for Veterans with complex and chronic medical, social, and behavioral conditions. This care model is associated with reduced hospital and nursing home admissions and overall decreased costs as well as improved patient satisfaction. The application of HBPC in a rural area will be illustrated, including discussion of challenges, barriers, and successes.

E5b: Lessons from VA Integrated Care Implementers Part 2: Secrets of Successful Programs
Mental health professionals are integrated into primary care clinics in nearly all VA medical centers and large community-based outpatient clinics. At the 2013 CFHA meeting, we presented a review of the VA experience addressing resistance to integrated care. In contrast, early in 2014, we convened representatives from the most successful VA integrated care teams together with national leaders for a 1.5 day meeting. VA clinicians and administrators from 12 sites across the country participated. Our purpose was to distill the critical ingredients for integration success. These "secrets" of successful teams will be disseminated throughout VA. We will share our findings with the audience and engage in an interactive session where participants can discuss how these key ingredients of integration might apply in any setting.

F5b: Joining Forces to Create Momentum to Overcome Policy Barriers to Integration
This presentation delineates key integrated health care policy issues and how they can be addressed at the state and regional levels through: (a) the work of Integrated Care Learning Communities in North Carolina and New England; (b) a New England learning network of state health, behavioral health and public health directors; and (c) New England regional directors of SAMHSA and HRSA. This interactive presentation will include lecture, an interactive panel, and large and small group discussions to help participants: 1) Identify issues around policy reform, systems issues, reimbursement, privacy, education and training, workforce development, and other barriers to integration, 2) Understand the utility of joining forces with regional partners to influence policy and systems, and 3) Develop skills, identify partners and opportunities for taking action in one's own region to mobilize forces to address integration barriers.

G5a: An Approach to Fragmentation: Applying aspects of translational research to spread the word about the benefits of collaborative healthcare and increase the application of the field's knowledge base.
Healthcare research is often fragmented. The research of collaborative healthcare is fragmented by our different professional disciplines and our different journals and organizations. One evidence-based path to integration of our fields research is knowledge translation principles. For collaborative healthcare to make the move from knowledge fragmentation to integration we must identify, disseminate and integrate appropriate new research about our field, regardless of who creates it or where it is published. Application of these principles will allow the collaborative healthcare field to disseminate and implement new and evidence-based aspects of the triple aim (improved patient experience, reduced cost, and improved population health) into practice.

These work samples were coded by a reliable coder for consistency to MI spirit and technique. Findings to be reported include the differences MI competency between students completing the course online and those completing the course in-person. In addition, the relationship between student's self-reported MI competency and objective measurement of MI competency will be reported.

H5: Turning information to action: Gathering user perspective for design of the interactive AHRQ Academy web portal
The AHRQ Academy for Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care has established many excellent resources in tools available in its web portal. But users and potential users of web portals typically experience a gap between "information" and action—being able to use and act on information in websites. This session engages CFHA members—people who know the practical needs of the field—as a "design team" for interactive web-portal and community-building features to narrow the gap between information and acting on it.

Sundance came to us to direct four short films to play in front of the festival's discerning audiences at each event screening. This year's campaign extols a message of "Renewed Rebellion" and "Sundance Reminded," urging festival-goers to look forward by looking back at the festival's iconoclastic, anti-establishment origins. In keeping with the theme, we broke out the scissors and glue (and laser cutters and optical fibers) to create a series of original hand-crafted animations.
"Tell your Own Story" was a festival favorite, poking fun at the risk-averse, derivative, and referential hollywood pitching process, where stories are perpetually rehashed, at the expense of original ideas.
We used collage, live-painting and stop-motion to support the concept.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tiger Woods' public appearance Friday appeared to have done him more good than harm, paving the road for his successful return to professional golf. In fact, Woods' public expression of remorse to fans, family and business partners garnered a B+ from one crisis communications coach. "He did many, many things well," T.J. Walker, head of Media Training Worldwide says. "He seemed contrite. He seemed sincere. He hit the right emotional note." Furthermore, Tiger "defanged his attackers because he answered every one of their charges...he said he's completely guilty." Indeed, one of the first things Tiger declared when he took to the podium was "I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife, Elin, and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say." "Now when that happens it makes it much harder for people to continue pounding," Walker points out. "You're not going to have confrontation if one side is agreeing." However, Walker does fault Tiger on his presentation skills, saying that Tiger should have had more eye contact, instead of looking down so frequently. He also feels that Tiger should have gotten rid of the script and lectern. In terms of press strategy, Walker gives Tiger a C, explaining that he should have made this move much, much earlier -- three months earlier, that is -- and adds that Tiger missed an important opportunity to deflate media intensity over the details of his affairs by not opening the floor for press questions.

Review for Toyota of Puyallup
OPHELIA S N. on 11/20/2015
"Great Service from Start to Finish!"
Just so you know I drive over fifty miles round trip out of town to get my vehicle serviced because my car gets washed almost every time, the tires get rotated almost every time, my tire pressure is checked and adjusted if needed, my vehicle gets vacuum cleaned, and the oil changed. oh, and I almost forgot most fluids get topped off. No one tries too hard to pressure me into adding services such as replacing air filters, cabin filters, etc. only when absolutely needed and they bring me the proof that it's needed. Service department is always accommodating when it comes to making appointments and even last minute rescheduling. Just received a punch card after coming in for the last three years...there's also a $5.00 rebate if you want to go through the work. And yes I know I could go to my local dealer near home but why would I? You tell me where would you rather have your car serviced? Exactly! :-)

The Atmospheric Moisture Freezing Device was a cold-based weapon designed by Donnie Gill and Seth Dormer, and intended to be sold to Quinn Worldwide.
Dormer, a student at the S.H.I.E.L.D. scientific academy, approached Ian Quinn, wishing to make money and sell Quinn an effective weapon. Intrigued, Quinn agreed to make a deal, if Dormer could prove such a weapon was functional. Dormer then pressured Donnie, a loner in his classes, to design the weapon that would make them both rich.
Gill took the work of S.H.I.E.L.D academy legends Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz on a hypothetical crystalline nucleation process, designed by Simmons, and the delivery mechanism, designed by Fitz.
However, while their smaller prototypes worked, they burned out in a few a minutes and, despite his best efforts, Donnie could not fix the power problem. That was when Donnie and Seth planned to lure Fitz and Simmons to the academy by staging a series of freezing incidents and then having them help fix the device's power problem. In order to lure in Fitz and Simmons and throw suspicion off of themselves, they first activated one of their prototypes at the academy pool thus freezing it solid and almost killing Seth. This event brought the attention of both the academy and Agents Coulson's team.
Later on, while Simmons and Fitz were preparing to give a speech to the academy, the device went off again, this time freezing Donnie in his seat. Acting quickly, Simmons and Fitz broke him out of his icy cocoon and destroy the device under his seat. Fitz takes Donnie back to his dorm where Donnie asks for Fitz's help on fixing the power problem for a battery he was designing.
When Fitz later goes to check on Donnie, he sees the designs for the freezing device and realizes that Seth and Donnie are behind its construction. Caught, Seth runs off with Donnie and their final product to a parking lot, where they have a demonstration for Quinn to see. The device is the activated, causing a massive storm with cold winds and hail, with the two boys in the eye of the storm. The chaotic storm gets out of control, and Donnie attempts to shut down the device. The device explodes, injuring both Seth and Donnie. In the aftermath, Donnie is sent to the Sandbox, Seth dies of his injuries and the freezing device is kept on the Bus.
The freezing device, not given an official name, has the ability to rapidly bring down the temperature of a moist atmosphere, freezing anything the device is directed towards. Despite this, it was still a prototype and had a variety of glitches, such as going off uncontrollably. The device has the power to freeze water, encase a single, specific person in ice and create an entire superstorm of wind and hail.
In the aftermath, Donnie is seen with the apparent ability of cryokinesis - the ability to generate and manipulate ice. Whether Donnie had these latent abilities all along or if exposure to the source materials of the device creates this power is unknown.

The first time Greg Williams Jr. saw a production of Tarell Alvin McCraney's "Choir Boy" he wanted to stage it.
"When the show was over, I just sat there for five minutes. I knew I'd seen something incredibly special," says Williams, artistic director for New Venture Theatre. "It was very simple, very powerful."
The play was written in 2012 and addresses timely issues including bullying, sex, money and identity crises. The usual adolescent problems can hit young black men harder since they are taught not to express their feelings, Williams says.
"Choir Boy" centers around students at a charter school for troubled African-American teenage boys.
"The boys can't stand each other because they are all different. Then a professor comes in and forces them to deal with a lot of hard and in-your-face things," Williams says.
And yet, the play is a comedy.
Much of the humor comes from the way Mr. Pendleton deals with the students, forcing them to confront their own prejudices and throwing their own views back in their faces.
The professor marched with Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. He is frustrated that the boys are so focused on hating each other, the exact opposite of King's message. Mr. Pendleton has to prepare the students for a choral performance, but first he must address their problems.
"Everyone is different and everyone thinks their way is the right way. They can't get along enough to make the concert happen," Williams says.
Traditional spirituals sung a cappella are woven throughout the play. Combining the old songs with modern issues makes a powerful statement about the importance of understanding the past in order to deal with the present.
Thirty-year-old Williams plays David, a boy who ends up at the school, not as a result of getting into trouble, but because his parents don't want him.
All of the actors are at least 20 years old, a necessity given the play's content. "When it's heavy, it's heavy," Williams says.
When he decided to stage "Choir Boy," he knew that he wanted to use the intimate Hartley/Vey studio theatre. The small space will be transformed into a classroom with the audience as students, making them feel like a part of the performance.
Williams says that he hopes everyone will also take home some lessons about kindness and tolerance.
"We're all humans, and, at the end of the day, all we have is each other," he says.

A bit of an odd question, but something just doesn't feel right. I don't know if I'm just being overly paranoid or what, but my gut is telling me there's more to it.. I've been dating this guy for a while now and he still has pictures of his exes, he has no problem talking about the relationships and sees them as being just a part of his past and holds no hard feelings (not a problem for me). That said, there is this one ex that he doesn't like to talk about at all, there is no trace of her and if it wasn't for his family I would've thought she was a made up person. It's hard to explain, but he's EXTREMELY bitter and it's been years since they were together. All I know is his family loved her, they were engaged and apparently crazy about each other and that he dumped her.. He literally got rid of everything that reminded him of her, pictures, hand written letters, gifts she gave him all gone. I've tried talking to him about it, but he blows it off and talks about how much he hates her and never wants to see her again. He couldn't even give me a reason for dumping her. It's as if he were trying to convince me that he didn't have any feelings for her, to be honest I'm starting to think he still loves her and maybe has a serious case of regret. Thoughts?
What would you say if someone you were dating had traces of other exes, except for one?

I don't think is regret what he feels but it looks like he caught her cheating on him. She probably hurt him in some way, crushed his heart and ego.00|00|0
That's the thing that doesn't make sense because, he told me that all his other exes cheated on him, but can't give me a straight answer about her.
This time may have been different, he must have had deep feelings for her. You said they were engaged, he most likely saw her as the mother of his children and the woman he would spent the rest of his life with.
I know it's hard to let go of this kind of thing but don't let this past relationship of his haunt yours. If he's with you it's because he wants to be with you. If you're too insecure about that, I think you should move on. Good luck ;)

Series: ACS Symposium Series Volume: 662
334 pages, Figs, tabs
This book examines the potential health benefits of low levels of antinutrients in food processing and functional foods, and reviews the potential health risk at high levels. The authors identify and classify various foods as sources of phytochemicals while considering their anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic potentials. This volume will be a valuable resource for food scientists, technologists, and nutritionists, and for researchers in biotechnology and medicinal chemistry.
Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry of the American Chemical Society . . . Antinutrients are present in different amounts in practically all plant foods. Antinutrients and their breakdown products have a deleterious effect on the absorption of different nutrients and micronutrients, which determines the healthy functions of body organs. Besides this undesirable effect, beneficent influence, especially when they are taken in small amounts is manifested. . . . It was observed the low incidence of pancreatic carcinoma in the population with a high intake of soybean-based food which contains protease inhibitors. The high anticholesteremic activity of saponins, etc. was also established. These topics were presented and discussed in detail . . . in the 18 papers included in this volume. I have remarked in each contribution a rich up-to-date bibliography. The volume is completed by author and subject indexes.--Cellulose Chemistry and Technology

You might expect that such sound construction of the 2009 BMW 3-Series would lead to appropriately high crash-test ratings, and in this regard, the 3-Series is good but not quite at the top of its class. Fortunately, reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show that the BMW 3-Series boasts a number of first-rate safety features that help keep occupants safe.
In both IIHS and NHTSA testing, the 2009 BMW 3-Series scores much better than average. In fact, the BMW 2009 lineup of 3-Series vehicles is one of the top performers of any model in IIHS tests, earning the highest possible rating, "good," in both the frontal offset and side impact categories. The BMW 3-Series also warrants a 2009 Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS, which cites 2009 BMW 3-Series' "good performance in front, side, and rear tests and standard electronic stability control" as the primary reasons for the distinction. Although NHTSA is generally regarded as having less rigorous scoring procedures, the BMW 3-Series does not manage to sweep these federal crash-test ratings. In both driver- and passenger-side front impacts, the BMW 3-Series merits four out of five stars for occupant protection. However, the BMW 3-Series lineup achieves some redemption in the side-impact category, where it garners a perfect five-star rating from the NHTSA.
The 2009 BMW 3-Series is a technological showcase, and not just for the convenience features found inside the cabin. The BMW 3-Series also features an array of high-tech safety gear that constantly monitors the vehicle's performance, as well as the usual passive safety features that consumers have come to expect. Cars.com relates that the "standard safety features include: antilock brakes, electronic stability system, [and] side curtain airbags," while ConsumerGuide reports that "front side airbags" are also standard. Edmunds reviewers add that "run-flat tires" come standard, and the "stability control system integrates several features designed to improve braking performance, such as periodically wiping the brake rotors dry when the windshield wipers are in use."
BMW has clearly designed the 2009 BMW 3-Series to offer good visibility in all directions. ConsumerGuide reviewers find on their test drive that "thick front pillars can obscure vision to the forward corners," but they also note "rear visibility is fine," a welcome feature for those who loathe navigating parking lots or freeway lane changes.

Great, I like it. There is just a little thing. Some function is bind to two keys. EX: My format code bind to: 1. 'Esc Ctrl+F' 2. 'Ctrl+Shift+F' I hope it can show these two together when I try to click menu.
Works fine and is absolutely helpful. Unfortunately there is an issue in conjunction with the JInto resource editor, so I had to uninstall the plugin.

The sequel to Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is due out December 13 from Warner Bros, the second of three MGM- and Warners-produced movies adapted from JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings prequel novel. Here's the first look at the The Desolation Of Smaug, which introduces the titular dragon voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch:
Hot Trailer: 'The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug'
28 Comments
Looks more fun than dark…unlike LOTR 2…
The dragon looks like a cgi creation. Oh well…
I hope Jackson knows what he's doing and doesn't mess this up…
The whole picture looks like a CGI creation — because it is.
"The whole picture looks like a CGI creation — because it is."
Are you telling me there's no such thing as dragons? Jackass.
Okay… I'm calm now….
Christ, even the teaser trailer is over 2 minutes long. Can somebody please buy PJ an editor?
Mmmhmmm, because greater length always equals poorer editing. Jackson has worked with numerous award-winning editors, including Jabez Olssen.
In fact, the editor of Jackson's longest movie, Jamie Selkirk, has two friends he'd like you to meet, Eddie and Oscar.
ha! totally agree. I just hope there's at least a hour of footage of dwarves walking in this movie. Didn't get me enough walking in the last four movies.
I peed myself. I'm so excited for this.
This time, maybe, some actual story-telling and less video game? Will they introduce the laws of physics, for once? Ya know, when you fall great distances along with crumbling boulders all about you, you actually *will* get hurt–even in a fantasy world.
What's up with Orlando Bloom's face? Looks like they've digitally de-aged him. He just looks weird. And the way he "glides" looks like a kung-fu movie. The whole color grading looks off, just artificial and Disney-esque. Smaug looks like an expensive glove puppet. Is this really the same director who made the incredible LOTR?
How horrible. Even the trailer is full of scenes that scream: "HEY! 3D STUFF!" It's very distracting and spoils the look of the film. It was stupid and cheesy when they made Friday the 13th in 3D, and it's no better now. These films won't age well.
i don't know about that rendition of smaug and i still don't know what to think about PJ's liberties in adding to the plot.
I think it looks amazing. Can't wait to see it. I like that PJ is connecting future events LOTR with events in the Hobbit. It makes a much more cohesive narrative and links the two movies and stories together in a way that was previously only done by reading through various appendices and notes by Tolkien. THe Hobbit now gives us an overview of how events in Middle Earth led to the return of Sauron. Love it.
Does Smaug live in the Paramount Pictures mountain?
What's with all the negative comments? The trailer looks great and I can't wait for the movie!
Adding to the plot? Not sure what from the trailer has been added – other than Legolas' appearance?
for one thing, In the book, they just float down the river in barrels — do they have to hack Orcs apart in 3-D is every sequence?
The Hobbit was a great book. woulda made a great movie. (ONE movie, singular — one I coulda taken my kid to.) he added so much talking, so much back story, so many flashbacks, so much violence– it's sooooooo long, and he changed the tone from a kids' story, to an adult one.
Wish he'd a just done the book.
The trailer mostly looks great except:
1) wtf Orlando Bloom's face?
2) the dragon, not so good.
3) Still keeping it white, I see.
At least there's a chick with a few lines.
Really hate how everything is made into a battle or chase scene. This is so noticeable in this trailer in the scene of the dwarves in barrels in the river. In the book, they just float down the river. They aren't being chased or attacked.
Will the studios ever lay off the damn cgi! My heart sank as I watched all the cgi action that will go to make this film little different from the many other films that batter us around the head with cartoon like action. Of course cgi has its place when it used sparingly but in The Hobbit it was just overdone. If you can stick a dude in a good costume( like some of those seen in TLOTR) then people engage and believe. Throw cgi at me and I might as well watch the latest Disney film. Sorry to say that, to save money, this film has gone the whole hog on cgi so much so even the live actors are now replaced with cgi avatars in order to make them pull off the physically impossible. Why not just use film trickery so at least the moving objects have mass and don't just appear to float! And also why not use as much beautiful, natural scenery as possible without everything being on a green screen…give the actors something to work with as was one with Hobbiton! The colour looks weird as well. I hope I'm wrong but fear the cgi in this film is going to be worse than the last. Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the hobbit but it could've been epic with a lot less cgi.
That's definitely Lee Pace's V.O., not Benedict Cumberbatch.
Both have amazing VO-friendly voices.
Hideous sounding title. Just like the last one.
Really not excited for this. The last one was overlong and boring. The Hobbit was one of my favourite books growing up and one of the first novels I read. Sad to see it bastardised for corporate gain.
I totally agree. After the first trilogy if you had asked me how excited I would be for The Hobbit I would have been over the moon at the idea. After the first trailer for film 1 came out I just got meh about the whole thing and skipped it when it was in theaters. I barely got through part 1 at home and that was with two or three breaks.
I'm a fan of P.J. work but, this movie looks like a CGI video game. For a moment I thought that I was watching a cartoon. P.J. Should not have experimented with the 3D effects on this movie. It took time away from the actual development of the characters, and story line as evident in the first movie. He should have kept everything simple like he did on LOTR. LOTR was simple yet entertaining even for a 3 hour movie. The story line was so engaging that I didn't realize how long the movie was.
I think he may have screwed up this trilogy by being overly ambitious with the 3D effects, which by the way adds nothing to the movie and yet cheats me out an additional $5-$8 bucks. The cinematography alone would have compensated for the 3D. In his quest to out do AVATAR in the special effects department he sacrificed the movie, and that is what I call arrogance not ingenuity.
Very well said.
One specific gripe I had was that the dragon did indeed look very CG. The design of the dragon is fine, but it's bizarre to me that in 2013 a CG dragon looks worse from a realistic standpoint than the amazing one in Dragonslayer…a movie from 1981.
I'm only going to watch this to hear Cumberbatch's amazing voice.

Multiple entry forms for one user but only has to enter their personal details onceAsked by joreevejotforms on September 20, 2016 at 12:37 AM
I would like to set up an exhibition entry form where the user can enter multiple entries but only has to enter their personal details once. Is this possible?
JotForm Support
Yes, there's a workaround for that.
First, you will have to construct a prepopulated URL via URL parameter for the personal detail fields and place it in your form's thank you page. Once the user clicks the prepopulated URL in your thank you page, their personal info taken from their initial submission will be prepopulated to the personal fields.
Here's a guide on how to prepopulate form fields via URL parameter https://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-the-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters.
After creating the prepopulated URL, you can place it in your form's thank you message along with your custom message.
You can try to submit this form so you can see how it works https://form.jotform.com/62631342747961.
If you need further assistance, let us know.

Unemployed because he has been dismissed from the play which he rehearsed in Paris and in cold with his partner Françoise, Christian takes refuge at his friend Nathalie in the Corbières (Pyrénées - South France). This one fell in love with Hippolyte, which meets them between two business trips. His arrival brings about tensions so that Christian settles down in the "Campagne de Cicéron", the property of his friend Hermance. There he notices that Françoise was also invited...
In this non-realistic romantic farce, former opera-singer and current music festival organizer Hermance is married to Charles-Henry. However, she still has a passion for her former lover Simon, but he has a thing for Françoise. Meanwhile, Nathalie keeps trying to put the moves on Hippolyte, who is either unaware of or is ignoring her efforts, while her lackluster former lover Christian looks on and stays out of the whole mess. Who comes out the worst in this deal? Naturally enough, it's Christian, the fellow who has, for good or ill, kept the most distance from it, when Hermance, who seems jealous of everyone, tries to get even with Simon for running off with Françoise.

I got this recipe from a blog last week, which I currently can't find to site the recipe; I believe it's in the recipe (which you can download) below.
I can't say it is the best (cup)cake ever, however for the time, simplicity, taste, texture and health-ish-ness it is worth making. I add a bit of ginger powder(2/3rd tsp) to the icing which seems to be enjoyed even among those who don't like ginger - much to my surprise.
It only takes about 30 minutes from start to taking cupcakes out of the oven(a little bit longer for the cake). I made the recipe as cupcakes once, not knowing how much they would be enjoyed, and was asked to make them again a couple of days later. Right now I'm making the cake version of the recipe for an event at Ptarmigan which is happening tonight.
It is not such an exciting recipe but it is delicious, and health-ish, comfort food.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Dec 11,2004 8:24 AM
Predictions for advertising spending next year from two leading industry forecasters are surprisingly upbeat, as they project gains will be made even after the strong growth anticipated for 2004.
The unexpectedly optimistic predictions were offered by senior executives of two media agencies, Robert J Coen of Universal McCann and Steve King of the ZenithOptimedia Group. In raising estimates they made previously for worldwide ad spending in 2005, they cited reasons that ranged from a continuing boom in online advertising to the growing list of major marketers planning to substantially increase budgets to generate demand for aging or moribund brands.
The forecasts represent potential good news for Madison Avenue, which is worried that the robust growth it is enjoying this year may dissipate amid wavering consumer confidence and rising energy prices. Plus, next year will not bring a reprise of the additional billions of dollars spent in 2004 on elections or ads for the Olympics.
But the battles for consumer favour in crowded categories like drugs, automobiles, entertainment, telecommunications and packaged foods will generate sufficient additional growth, the forecasters said, to make 2005 the fourth consecutive year of year-over-year increases since the 6.5% decline in 2001, the first since 1991.
"Momentum will carry over into 2005," said Mr Coen because major marketers will find it difficult "to turn around and cut ad budgets when competition is heating up."
Mr Coen and Mr King made their forecasts at the opening session of the 32nd annual Media Week conference in Manhattan, which is sponsored by UBS.
Not everyone, of course, agreed with the rosy predictions. In separate presentations at the conference, the chief executives of two large agency companies—David A Bell of the Interpublic Group of Cos. and Sir Martin Sorrell of the WPP Group — expressed caution in forecasting growth.

This Food article about new independent bakeries incorrectly said that Amernick Bakery in Cleveland Park closed in 2000. It closed in 2004.
They've Got the Goods
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Last month, on an out-of-the-way road in rapidly developing Bowie, Sherman and Patricia McCoy opened a tiny shop with the hope that people will love their homey pies as much as the couple like making them.
Despite the obscure location, it didn't take long for word -- or perhaps the aroma -- of Best Pie to spread. In any community, a new bakery sparks the kind of interest that a new dry cleaner or bank branch can't, for obvious reasons.
"The pies, they are fantastic," says local attorney Josh Pierre, the first customer through the door on a recent morning. He knew exactly what he wanted: a mixed-berry pie with fresh blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. "They have that homemade taste, just like you got it out of Grandma's kitchen."
As they slice apples and roll out dough, the McCoys are also part of an apparent mini-boom of independent bakeries opening around Washington after a decade of closings and chain expansions.
In downtown Falls Church, a woman who specializes in Austrian nut tortes recently anchored her wholesale business with a retail storefront. And in the weeks ahead, a former restaurant pastry chef will open a European-style shop in Vienna, and a former art director will start selling his rustic breads, coffee cakes, pies and more in The Plains. Like the hundreds of small ethnic-restaurant owners in the Washington suburbs, they looked to areas where they live, where rents are lower than in the city and parking is easier.
Attending the new ovens are bakers who believe they have something to offer that the chains and supermarkets can't deliver: passion.
"Supermarkets have taken the excitement out of fruit pies," says Sherman McCoy, 61, a former Howard University Hospital administrator. "There is no one standing up peeling peaches, no place you can get a fresh fruit pie." Beyond the shop's austere salesroom, in the well-equipped kitchen, his wife was peeling away on a recent weekday morning, her hands submerged in a 10-gallon pot filled with once-fuzzy fruit.
"People get excited to have a pie just out of the oven," says Patricia McCoy, 53. "They can look through the window and watch us make the pies. There's the aroma, the anticipation for what we sell."
She steps quickly when an oven buzzer sounds, and out come beautifully browned 10-inch apple and mixed-berry pies that sell for $23.95 each. Then it's back to peeling.
The McCoys won't say how many pies they make or sell each day, allowing only that, thus far, "things are good." Their start-up costs, which included the conversion of a former used-book store and purchase of a truckload of new stainless-steel equipment, were $200,000.
In addition to having no retail or commercial baking experience, they have no desire to sell their pies wholesale or to restaurants -- or even to sell anything else. The McCoys plan to stay small.
That's all well and good, but if you ask longtime pastry chef Ann Amernick, such passion and drive won't guarantee success. "It's a hard way to make money," says Amernick, co-owner of Palena restaurant in Cleveland Park. "I'd like to see how long they'll hold."

Weed had been running strait from the start since Xreneus told him where to go. The direction he was heading is right off west and has been for about a day now. Though he was alone, he never felt like it. Now he knows where he is and where his friends are. One day...he had made it.
Weed. The young blue Akita. Had finally found where he should be. The large area was lush and green. Grass grew all around as moss sprouted from the wall. His trail opened up on a huge concave, opening up out into a valley, with 4 hills at its center.
"Whelp...here I am. Hope Phaedra isn't as much trouble to beat." Weed thought, going down a wall path to the valley. the name Phaedra was from Xreneus as he was talking to him
"Weed. How are you at fighting?"
"Well, fairly good. I did some training with Toube and I made it far in the championship." Weed sighed, rubbing the back of his head.
"Good to know. Now the colossi you have to fight is probably as natural to your instincts. She's a steed."
"A steed? Like a horse steed?"
"Yeah. But try to think strategy, not force! Unlike a real horse, it won't run when you arrive."
"I'll think strategy, Xreneus." Weed thought. When he got to the middle of the 4 hills, he couldn't see any colossi.
"Now where is she?" Weed asked himself, trying to find a scent. But he can't get anything with his nose. Though his eyes were getting a lot more. He looked up to the north and saw a silhouette of some sort of object. As Weed got closer, he made out something else...a large statue of an ancient stallion.
"Phaedra...now how do I wake her up?" Weed first tried barking...then howling...then screaming till his lungs got sore...nothing.
"Oh great." Weed thought. He turned and kicked a pebble behind him, hitting Phaedra's chest. Weed was about to leave when he heard an odd noise behind him. As soon as the noise stopped, he turned around...Phaedra was awake!
"Whoa!...Phaedra!" Weed called. Phaedra's maned head turned around, as if not seeing anyone.
"DOWN HERE! (Phaedra looks down to him). Okay Phaedra listen...this probably might not be as important to this place but it is important to everywhere else...I need your chakra orb."
Phaedra hardly made a reaction except for a tilted head as Weed continued.
"It might be shocking, but let me explain. Back in another world a monster is trying to destroy all the universes...including this one...so please. I don't want to fight, but I need the power in order to save the universe...but I don't want to kill you either in order to do so." Weed didn't really want to kill anyone, let along Phaedra. The giant horse looked down at him...and oddly started to shake her head.
"What are you doing?" Weed asked. Phaedra kept shaking her mane until Weed began to see a shining object from one of her brads...and she shook out the Chakra orb! Weed tried to catch it but Phaedra got to it first and it landed on her head. She looked down at the confused Akita as he was trying to think.
"...Is this some sort of test, Phaedra?...To see if I can get the orb from you?" Weed asked. Phaedra nodded.
"Well...in that case, let's start." Weed said. Phaedra nodded and their game started right away when the horse started trying to stomp him. She's not trying to hurt him, just making sure he keeps his distance. In between situations, Weed bolted to the 4 hills as Phaedra went after him.
"Man, some game. I gotta think." Weed thought. But Phaedra's already on his tail so he quickly raced into one of the hills tunnels. It's big enough to fit a normal sized horse but not a giant horse like Phaedra, and that's a good thing.
"Phew. Okay, Weed, think. How does one get onto a horse? Getting on its head won't help. There's nowhere to grab on its side so that won't work...come on..." but as Weed was thinking, Phaedra's head looked inside and saw him. The horse then started counting with one hoof, which shook the ceiling above Weed. Racing through the tunnel, he jumped out of the western facing hill and saw Phaedra at the eastern hill.
"I got it!" Weed gasped, clamping his mouth shut. But Phaedra already heard him and turned around.
"Darn it."
Weed immediately bolted back in his hole. He quickly popped his head out of the hole to see...only Phaedra nearly knocked the brains out of him! He tried this a few more times, Phaedra closing on him each time. One point he grabbed a stick, placed some sort of leaf or something on it and poked it outside...he shook it around...nothing happened.
"Cool. I'm safe from-(Phaedra's foot landing in front of him)..." Weed simply turned around and got back in his hole. But then he realized "What am I doing?! The world is depending on me, and here I am hiding from a horse!"
Weed jumped out of his hole to fight...but Phaedra wasn't around for some reason.
"Phaedra?...PHAEDRA!! WHERE'D YA GO?!...rats." Weed really thought Phaedra left...until a hoof landed behind him!
"AH!!...Phaedra don't do that!" Weed snapped as he saw Phaedra standing behind him.
"Okay, that's it. Phaedra! I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, I NEED THAT ORB NOW OR ALL THE WORLDS ARE GONE FOR GOOD!" Weed demanded. Phaedra stood still at first, looking at the determination in his eyes. Many colossi had seen many challengers fight...but this is different. Weed's reason was bigger than all the others put together. This isn't just for himself...not just for this world...but for all the universes combined! She can tell he was telling the honorable truth as well...Phaedra began walking back to her platform and got back in her starting position as Weed was following.
The horse didn't reply. Instead all she did was shake her head slightly and the orb dropped down to him slowly. Like a feather...it slowly yet gently landed on top of the Akita as it absorbed its power into his body.
"What the-..." Weed's mind was cut off as he felt more and more energy build inside of him. At one point he started running to one of the small trees...jumping up...and became as a ninja star! The spinning star sliced through the thin trunk of the tree easily as he landed on the ground.
"Now that's awesome. I really did that. Thanks Phaedra!...Phaedra?"
Weed didn't see at first, but Phaedra was no longer reacting to what ever he said...her eyes, and their blue aura...burned out...she's gone.
"Phaedra...thank you..." Weed sighed, bowing in front of the noble horse. Weed turned to leave but as he was gonna go. He looked up and saw a pigeon land in front of him...with a message on its back from Marage...
After reading, Weed raced off on his way...only now did the watcher come out. His masked head turned to Phaedra.
"Poor Phaedra...I sure hope this is all worth it in the end."
