It's been a rough road for Charlotte contractors hired in 2010 to widen a nearly 2.8-mile stretch of Upward Road by August, and completion now is expected to stretch until the end of the year, possibly into early spring.
It's been a rough road for Charlotte contractors hired in 2010 to widen a nearly 2.8-mile stretch of Upward Road by August, and completion now is expected to stretch until the end of the year, possibly into early spring.
First contractors ran into snags in the wet winter of 2010. Then they were cited by the EPA for Clean Water Act violations in 2012.
Now contractors claim utility trouble has kept them from meeting the August deadline. Fines of $2,000 a day may start adding up for the contractors in October if they fail to prove their utility woes.
The project includes relocating numerous utilities such as lines for gas, water, sewer, electric, telephone and cable.
N.C. Department of Transportation Resident Engineer Aaron Powell said he met with the contractors, Blythe Development Co. of Charlotte, on Thursday.
"They are planning to get everything completed by this December," Powell said, but he suspects it will be spring before they will be able to lay the final layer of asphalt and put markings on the road.
Contractors started work on the Upward Road widening project — turning two lanes into a four-lane divided highway from US-176 to Howard Gap Road — in May 2010.
The new traffic pattern should be in place this year, Powell said, if the weather cooperates.
"If it starts raining, it's going to throw some things off," he added.
It threw things off not long after work began in 2010 when rain, snow and ice led to flooding that stalled construction and made containing erosion on the site difficult to manage, a DOT spokeswoman told the Times-News in December.
Torrential rains and "utility delays" have also "thrown their schedules off" this year, Powell said.
The $23.8 million project is now about 75 percent complete and should be 95 percent finished by December, Powell estimates. Operating at a more than 2 percent cost overrun, the final project may cash in at more than $24.3 million by then — nearly $8.7 million a mile.
Powell said Blythe Construction engineers just started work on a culvert near Case Road that should take at least two months to complete.
"They said they can finish the section between Howard Gap and I-26 in a couple of months," he said, adding that they hope to have that done by the first of August.
Crews may tackle drainage work and widening down toward US-176 as early as next week, he said. Most of the work will be done at night.
Plans for the project marked two bridges (over I-26 and Bat Fork Creek) for replacement. Designs also called for the construction of a temporary bridge to shift traffic onto while the I-26 bridge was replaced. A 4-foot-wide, 5-inch-tall median will also be constructed in the center of Spartanburg Highway.

The 2012 M.O.T. Salvation Army Kettle Campaign bought in more than $23,000 this year.
The 2012 M.O.T. Salvation Army Kettle Campaign bought in more than $23,000 this year.
This year's total fell short of last year's record breaking $24,882, but not by a lot.
The more than 130 volunteers who donated their time during this past holiday season raised $23,160 during the month long campaign, said Jim Young, kettle coordinator.
More than 500 volunteer hours were put in between November and December at various locations in the M.O.T. area.
"We continue to see outstanding participation from all parts of our community and want tot thank each and every one for their time and generosity," Young said. "As we all know the economy has struggled even while we face an increased need for services."
Even though the holidays have come and gone, the Salvation Army is still accepting donations.
Anyone who wishes to still contribute can text 80888 SADEL and a one-time donation of $10 will be billed to your mobile phone.
Though the 2013 holiday season is months away, volunteers are already being encouraged to sign up for next year's kettle campaign.
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Jim Young at (302) 373-8200 or by email at email@example.com

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Friday that any use of chemical weapons by Syria would be a "game changer," but he cautioned that the United States needs more evidence that President Bashar Assad has used the deadly agents against his people.
"We cannot stand by and permit the systematic use of weapons like chemical weapons on civilian populations," Obama said in his first comments since the White House disclosed that U.S. intelligence indicates Syria probably has used chemical weapons.
However, the president said more evidence of such use was still needed, including when and how the deadly agents might have been used. He said the U.S., along with the United Nations, would seek to "gather evidence on the ground" in Syria to solidify intelligence assessments.
"This adds increased urgency to what already is a significant security and humanitarian problem in the region," he said from the Oval Office, where he was meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II.
The White House said on Thursday that the Syrian government probably had used chemical weapons, most likely the agent sarin, in the two-year civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
Obama's cautious response reflects a lack of agreement in Washington over aggressive military intervention. However, lawmakers in both parties also have expressed concern that inaction could embolden not only Assad but such countries as North Korea and Iran as well.
Obama has declared that the Assad government's use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" for a major military response.
"For the Syrian government to utilize chemical weapons on its people crosses a line that will change my calculus and how the United States approaches these issues," the president said.

QUINCY � Temperatures in the single digits have formed enough ice on the Quincy Chain of Lakes this week for fishermen to take to the lake during the 51st Annual Tip-Up Festival this weekend. Ken Fickle, a member of the festival committee, said unfortunately there isn�t enough ice for snowmobile or ATV races on the lake this year. The Department of Natural Resources requires 12 inches of ice for the races to take place. As of Wednesday the lake had a good�6 inches of ice on it, said Fickle. �I believe we are ready for the festival,� he said. �We have been fortunate this week. The building is ready to go.� The festival will kick off today at 5 p.m. with the Texas Hold �Em tournament at the Quincy American Legion. New to the festival is the predator hunt, which begins with registration from 6-7 p.m. Friday at Outdoor Sports, 837 E. Chicago Street. The hunt runs through noon Sunday. The cost for the hunt is $15 and three-member teams are allowed. Also new to the festival this year is the Vintage Chainsaw Show. A $25 cash prize will be given away to the best of show. Snowmobile enthusiasts can take part in the�Fifth Annual Vintage Snowmobile Contest, with a $100 prize being awarded to the favorite. The contest is for snowmobiles from 1979 and prior. Events throughout the weekend are centered around Tip-Up Island. There will be a variety of activities on the island including kids' games, a craft show and tug-of-war competitions. Die-hard enthusiasts will take to the waters of the Chain of Lakes during the 32nd Annual Polar Bear Splash at noon on Saturday. This year�s Tip-Up Queen, Alayna Herman, and her court will be taking part in the Polar Bear Splash. Her court includes First Runner-up Kailey Thorn and Second Runner-up Melissa Myers. The girls will be at the festival throughout the weekend along with the Little Miss Tip-Up Queen Madilyn Hayes and her court. The junior court includes Hailey Hord, second runner-up, Haley Schley, first runner-up and audience choice winner, and Kenadee Walls, princess and most photogenic. The fishing tournament will take place throughout the weekend with prizes given out for the largest, pike, crappie, bluegill, perch, redear and walleye. The Fisherman�s Ball will be from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday at the island with .50 Caliber. Fickle said none of this would be possible without many volunteers. �We have a really good group�of board members and volunteers,� he said. Fickle cautioned everyone�planning to take part in the festival to be aware of ice conditions throughout the weekend. For more information and a complete schedule of events visit www.QuincyTipUp.com.

For the fourth meeting in a row, the county's regulatory process got mostly positive reviews before an advisory committee set up by commissioners to seek out business-stifling rules. The city of Hendersonville, however, didn't fare as well.
For the fourth meeting in a row, the county's regulatory process got mostly positive reviews before an advisory committee set up by commissioners to seek out business-stifling rules. The city of Hendersonville, however, didn't fare as well.
Roughly half of the county's regulation review committee meeting Thursday was devoted to issues related to city rules and processes. Frustrated committee members said they wished the city was involved in their review process and urged the night's two presenters to talk with city leaders about it.
Larry Rogers of Henderson County Partners for Economic Progress, which monitors government on behalf of 75 local business and property owners, said he hears quite a few complaints in his job.
"But the overwhelming complaints have been about the city," he told the committee.
He said Partners for Economic Progress members have major problems with the city's "forced annexation policy in order to acquire water and sewer connections" and its "hefty increase in water tap and impact fees to hook up a new business."
Several contractors who sit on the committee echoed that sentiment. Mike Cooper, who is building Boyd Automotive's new dealership on Spartanburg Highway, said the county is "ready and willing" to issue his permits, but only after the city approves their review.
"The frustrating part is you go through the review process and you get your letter about what's wrong," Cooper said. "You fix that and then you go through another review process and the same people find things wrong with it again. And then you go through it a third time."
Committee member Jeff Justus, a commercial real estate broker, said the city "acts like you're trying to screw them over... I'm going to build this building and it's going to be nice, but there's this tone that, 'We don't want you to develop in our city,' almost."
Committee Chairman Bert Lemkes said if there was any way the discussion about regulatory review could be "conveyed to the city, that would be great." He and other members agreed a joint outreach by city and county officials would be more effective, since most of the complaints brought before the committee thus far have been related to the city.
"If Hendersonville doesn't make it easier to develop, Buncombe County is going to eat our lunch," Justus predicted.
Rogers said complaints from his members about the county have been "hit or miss," referencing a sign ordinance problem and "the slow speed that the process sometimes moves." He used the example of a Dollar General store that requested rezoning last December and waited until this week to get a decision.
But Rogers praised the county's Technical Review Committee as a one-stop shop for businesses and contractors to get answers. Members of the Technical Review Committee include a county engineer, planner, fire marshal, code inspector and environmental health supervisor, plus a state highway official and city utilities official.
Lemkes asked John Mitchell, the county's business and community development director, to bring back a flow chart showing steps businesses must take for various county approvals, showing "bottlenecks." He suggested perhaps putting a "maximum response time required by county staff."
Andrew Tate, president of Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, said his staff works closely with 135 existing industries through customized, regular visits designed to troubleshoot issues. He surveyed 20 companies that had pulled permits in the last 12 to 18 months, and reported "a lot" of positive feedback.
But he suggested the committee work toward creating an "ongoing outlet" for companies to share problems "without fear of retribution, and have it dealt with in a timely manner."
Tate also recommended that the county create an online, searchable code database, so companies "can do a little work on their own."

Document imaging can seem like a daunting task, and there is often natural anxiety of transitioning from a tangible paper file to electronic files. It is our goal to take away some of the anxiety from the scanning process. This month, the CCMS Project Team began to focus on the mechanisms needed to transform program paperwork into electronic files.
The IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture application will be used by the CCMS to scan documents into a server for validation, routing, storage, and retrieval for the case management.
There are two validation points: one outside of the CCMS and one inside the CCMS.
The Datacap Scanning User's Guide has been finalized. We tested the scanning hardware and software inside the State's network and external to the State's network. The scanner and imprinter were installed successfully, and the appropriate driver downloaded. Datacap software web links and log-ins functioned correctly and testers were able to successfully execute the IE Test Page, and view and edit their scanned documents in the server!
The following preview shows the Validate Documents page of the CCMS. For additional details regarding validation, please refer to the CCMS Job Aids and Wizards.
A CCMS CCAP Eligibility Worker or CCAP Manager will log into the CCMS, access the Dashboard and filter their Work Que to select a document to validate. Some of the details will auto populate.
The worker is now ready to validate another document!
Question: Did you notice the blue icon next to Case#, Provider Name, and Work Item ID?
Answer: If a worker clicks an icon, a pop-up search window will appear.

Two brothers were left temporarily homeless Tuesday night after fire broke out and burned up an upstairs bedroom at their two-story house in Butler, authorities said.
The blaze at 718 W. Penn St. is believed to be accidental, possibly caused by an overloaded electrical circuit, according to Butler Fire Chief Nick Ban.
John Waddell was in the living room about 9:30 p.m. when he smelled and noticed light smoke.
His brother, Tom Waddell, who also lives there, was not home.
John Waddell went into the basement but found no fire. He checked the breaker box and saw that one of the circuits had been tripped, fire officials said.
When Waddell went back upstairs, it appeared the smoke was thicker. He continued to the second floor and found more smoke.
"He felt the door to his bedroom and it was hot," Ban said. "He had a fire extinguisher there and opened the door slowly and saw fire in the area of the foot of the bed."
He used the extinguisher but to no avail. He closed the door and returned with two more fire extinguishers.
But again, Waddell was as unable to put out the fire. He decided it was time to get out of the house. By then, neighbors called 911.
City firefighters quickly snuffed out the blaze, containing the fire to Waddell's rear bedroom.
Ban suspects the fire started in an electrical outlet in that bedroom.
Damage to the house is estimated at $20,000 and another $5,000 to its contents.
The Butler chapter of the American Red Cross assisted the Waddells with temporary housing at a Butler Township motel.

Quote:Now what the individual obtains through this practice, bearing in mind the above concepts, can never be taken from him. It is WON through hard work. Blood, sweat and tears. THAT becomes the individual expression of JKD.
Quote:Nice synopsis, SNWD.
Quote:Having said all that about the training process, jeet kune do is still its own system.
Quote:The same training methods may be employed with pretty much any martial arts system, but to say you "employ" JKD with another system like karate or jujitsu is not entirely correct since the essence of what it is at that point in time is redefined from the tactical system of JKD to the developmental process of JKD.
Quote:By the same token, mixed martial arts is not JKD.
Quote:If you read those volumes compiled by John Little, there is a memo handwritten by Bruce Lee explaining to one of his students that mixing martial arts together is not the same is the simplifying and re-simplifying process of jeet kune do. It even has an algebraic equation on the page describing it.
Quote:For example, these days I personally practice a contorted system of defensive tactics used by police, security, and military personnel that uses tools such as compliance holds, basic grappling holds, handcuffing, and weapons, but no striking. This is supplemented by footwork similar to what I practiced in jeet kune do, trapping hands from Wing Chun, grappling methods from jujitsu courses I've taken, but still retains the development of scientific attributes from JKD. I suppose this would constitute a mixed martial arts system, but it is no longer jeet kune do.
Quote:Quote:Having said all that about the training process, jeet kune do is still its own system. Thus a "style"?
Quote:Quote:The same training methods may be employed with pretty much any martial arts system, but to say you "employ" JKD with another system like karate or jujitsu is not entirely correct since the essence of what it is at that point in time is redefined from the tactical system of JKD to the developmental process of JKD. What exactly is the difference, in your opinion, between the tactical system of JKD and the developmental process of JKD? Quote: The "tactical" system of jeet kune do is the root system itself, which employs its own techniques and uses them in a tactical manner against various types of unarmed attacks. The key focus in the execution of attacks is simplification and effectiveness within one to three movements. Indeed, the word "tactical" in context was simply an adjective. Perhaps a better word would be "unique" - the "unique" system of jeet kune do. This is the system Bruce Lee himself practiced.The tactics of jeet kune do stress simplicity in the number of techniques practiced, direct economy of movement, and development of specific attributes rather than the development of attributes within the confines of a kata (or whichever word is used to describe that). There are also other tactics used in practice that characterize the system such as the five ways of attack: single direct attack, attack by combination, attack by drawing, progressive indirect attack, and hand immobilization attack.The developmental process is the process of training used in the classroom or personal training environment. This is the development of the individual. The developmental process is the development of the tools and the physical conditioning used in the training. After the basic tools are learned, the practitioner does move to a stage of expanding horizons, where other things are learned such as complex trapping hands, high kicks, more grappling, and even movements from other systems. It is important, however, to remember these other styles may be used in the process of learning, but they do not become jeet kune do just because you choose to practice with them. Things like Muay Thai and Escrima are great in their own right, but it is not proper to place Bruce Lee's name on their practice or lineage. He had nothing to do with their development. Subsequently, they are not JKD. To place the brand name "JKD" on numerous martial arts actually cheapens their worth, like putting the McDonalds name on mass-produced hamburgers. Many burgers may be out there, but none quite come close to the original.In summary there is a difference between "jeet kune do" and "using no way as a way and having no limitation as a limitation".

The Smyrna High School boys junior varsity basketball team will head into the winter break with a 6-0 record after defeating Lake Forest 56-25 Thursday at home.
The Eagles were led by Latrelle Lee with 10 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 steals. Adding to the win were Greg Duggans with 11 points, and Charlie Taylor who finished the game with 10 points, 3 assists 5 rebounds and 4 steals.
Coming into the season, head coach Dontay Black said the coaching staff expected good things out of the incoming group of players — but not this good.
"I don't think we expected them to jump off to the start that we're at," Black said.
Not only have the young Eagles won, but they've outscored their opponents 355-203, also something Black didn't expect out of his team.
While it appears the JV team is dominating in games, Black said a few of the games have actually been closer than the score suggests.
"They need to work on being a little bit better on defense," Black said. "When we played CR, the score looked lopsided but they really exposed kind of who we were defensively."
Room for improvement
Black believes the team has done so well because of the players' poise, but he said there's still room for improvement. Along with the need to improve on defense, he said the Eagles also need to work on their half-court offense.
As for the players, they agree with Black on where to improve. Freshman Donte Ritchie said the team has done well but needs to tighten up to be a better team than they are now.
Sophomore Latrelle Lee agreed: "I think we need to lower our turnovers but we have good chemistry."
Looking forward
The Eagles will return from winter break with a game at St. Elizabeth and then at Dover, which Black said should be a good game. He said games against the upstate teams will be difficult too because of those team's fast-placed style of play.
"I'm more nervous about when we go up north when we play Concord at Concord," Black said. "Another big one is the Polytech-Smyrna game. It's just a rivalry game. When you have a rivalry, you never know what's going to happen."
As for the team, the boys want to go 20-0 on the season and it's something the players believe they can do if they stick together.
For Black, he just wants to prepare them to move up through the system.
"My goal really in the program as the JV coach is to get these guys prepared to play varsity for Coach Starkey," Black said. "When they go up to varsity and play at that level, I hope the guys are ready."

Slippery Rock High School is holding its senior prom on Friday. My nephew is a senior but will not be attending the prom because his application was a few days late.
He had surgery on March 25 and, after about two weeks of recovery, he returned to school on April 8.
He had not planned to attend the prom because he didn't have a date, and the $90 cost, plus the tuxedo rental, were more than his parents, who struggle financially, could afford.
The deadline for prom applications was April 10. On April 12, a friend offered to attend the prom with him and I — his aunt — offered to cover the cost of the tickets and the tuxedo rental.
On April 15, he took his application to the principal's office, along with $90, only to be told "sorry," that his application was too late.
He was told by the assistant principal buses had to be ordered and that there was no room for him and his date.
My nephew has been dealing with kidney disease for the last three years, and because his immune system was compromised he has been in and out of Children's Hospital many times due to illness.
But his health finally is improving and he was really excited about having the opportunity to attend the prom.
But now he is being denied that privilege.
Shame on the Slippery Rock administration!

An Unexpected Journey: Quint on the set of The Hobbit! Part 1 - Concerning Hobbiton
Published at: Oct 31, 2011 6:13:46 AM CDT
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here currently writing from the overgrown wilds of New Zealands North Island. Ive been rather secretive about my trip to the southern hemisphere and for that I apologize, but it had to be done.
Heres the deal. Im kicking off a new, temporary, regular column that Im calling An Unexpected Journey because thats exactly what it is. A little over a month ago an email arrived asking of my interest in embedding myself on the set of The Hobbit for the entirety of their location shoot, spending over 2 months in New Zealand rolled in with the crew and writing up their adventures, hassles, triumphs and tribulations as they traveled all over the country shooting bits and pieces from the upcoming two-parter prequel to Lord of the Rings. As Winston Zeddemore taught us all, the answer to this kind of question is always YES!
Calling The Hobbit a prequel doesnt exactly feel right, though. This isnt a film cooked up to cash in on an absurdly successful franchise. As most Tolkien readers and human beings over the age of 7 know, The Hobbit burst forth from the pen of JRR Tolkien first. There are many Middle Earth stories, but The Hobbit is the natural choice. Its high adventure and lets us revisit some of our favorite locations and characters within its own, unique story.
Case in point, the very first location visited on this trip: Matamata, Waikato, New Zealand North Island, also known as Hobbiton.
Gorgeous, isnt it? As amazing as it looks in those pictures or in the movies theres something incredibly surreal and humbling to stand ON TOP of Bag End and overlook The Shire. I love (good) CGI, I have a lot of respect for the digital artists that toil away for hours and days and weeks and months in a dark room so we can go to Ancient Greece or Pandora or spend some time with Jurassic Park dinosaurs or Gollum or Caesar or those fookin prawns, but if there was ever a shred of doubt that real wins it was obliterated as the sheep bayed, horses neighed, wind blew and smoke started pouring out of hobbit hole chimneys dotting the lush green landscape in the valley below me.
And when I say green I mean GREEN. The grass in this North Island New Zealand farmland is like Wizard of Oz Technicolor. Its so bright it almost hurts the eyes.
But we all know New Zealand is beautiful. Thats a given at this point. By the end of December youll be given your fill of unbelievable scenery images as I travel from location to location (especially when I hit the South Island). Lets get into what was actually happening in Hobbiton.
Wake up time was 5:15am, which barely gave me enough time to get showered and presentable before making the 40+ minute drive from my Hamilton hotel to the location deep in the rolling green hills of Matamata.
Once past security I found myself driving along a small dirt and gravel road following signs to crew parking. Sure enough, the countryside was beautiful and Tolkeinesque, but it wasnt until I made a turn and saw the incredibly iconic stone bridge leading to The Green Dragon that it really struck me where I was.
That feeling intensified standing at base camp, perched on top of Bag End, looking over Hobbiton with dozens of Hobbit holes laid out over acres of green hills and the massive party tree anchored in the middle of everything.
The crew was setting up a crane out on the narrow walkway in front of Bag End for their first shot actually in Hobbiton in over 10 years. Because of the narrow and steep path down, the crew had to bring crane parts down and assemble much of it there. It took a little while, but before too long the familiar circular green front door of Bag End cracked open and out stepped an even more familiar face.
Munching on jellied toast, Frodo Baggins sauntered out and hopped down the steps leading to the mailbox, grabbed some mail and headed back inside.
Whats Frodo doing in The Hobbit? I dont want to spoil too much, but I can say that Frodo is part of the connecting tissue between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring.
In fact, the next shot was an over the shoulder on Elijah Wood hammering a sign up on Bag Ends front gate: No Admittance Except On Party Business. You guys should have an idea where that puts this moment in the timeline.
Martin Freeman stood in for Ian Holm, who shot all of his scenes and close-ups in London. They would sometimes play footage theyve already shot to remind themselves of what they had done previously and to help them match up shots. Peter and crew did that for these reverse shots on Elijah and I got to see Ian as Bilbo once again. It was quite extraordinary, actually. Seeing Ian in close up, wearing the wig, the vest and the pointy ears just put a smile on my face.
While I didnt talk to Elijah about it, I bet it meant the world to him to have Martin there actually giving a performance for him to act off of. Freeman even adopted a little bit of Ian Holms speech patterns for these scenes and was so good at impersonating Ian Holm that more than once I wondered if the voice I was hearing over the coms was Ians on playback or Martins in real life. Usually in these situations theyll have the script girl or one of the dialect coaches read the lines and while that works a charm, theres something extra special about a performer giving a performance. Like I said, I didnt talk to Elijah about it, but I bet he appreciated Martin doing that for him.
Their conversation is about Gandalf and if Bilbo thinks Gandalf will show up. Bilbo says He wouldnt miss a chance to let off his whiz-poppers. Hell put on quite a show, youll see, and Frodo grins, saying hes going to go surprise him and bounds off down the path like a kid at Christmas. When I say he bounds down the path thats not an exaggeration for illustrative purposes. He was damn near skipping, a glimpse of that pre-ring Frodo we meet in Fellowship.
After Frodo leaves the frame is very wide featuring The Shire in all its glory; The Green Dragon and mill smack dab in the middle.
Its my understanding this shot will transition to 60 Years Earlier with Young Bilbo sitting in front of Bag End contently smoking a pipe and casually blowing smoke rings as Gandalf comes along and presents him with his adventure.
At lunch I caught up with Elijah who was wide-eyed and smiling, obviously enjoying being back in Hobbiton with the furry feet on. He ran off and I said, Where do you think youre going? His reply: Back to Bag End, my friend!
I had to run over to wardrobe to get fitted for my cameo the next day, but soon made my way back to set. We had the same scene going and this time they had the camera tight on Frodo. While it was a tighter shot than before, it still captured the landscape behind him. I mean, thats the whole reason we were out there in the first place, so I wasnt going to see a whole lot of close-ups and insert shots being filmed. In this case, it was a full on front shot of Frodo, the massive Party Tree behind him.
Seeing the footage of Ian as Old Bilbo was crazy, but nothing compared to seeing Elijah as Frodo in the furry-footed flesh. Ive gotten to know Elijah pretty well over the last 13 years and it was the very definition of surreal talking to Frodo. Not Elijah. Frodo. I was literally not talking to a friend, but a fictional character, not to mention the magnifier of actually seeing him in Hobbiton.
I have to talk about the livestock. This will be the first time Ive traveled internationally where I will have to check off the Yes box when asked if Ive been near livestock on the arrival card. All forms of livestock were on set. There was even a runaway cow who decided she didnt like the film business on the first take and bolted right the hell out of Hobbiton.
It was quite funny, actually. I feel bad for the production having to pause, but from my high-up point of view (remember I was standing on top of the hill overlooking Hobbiton this whole day) it was very entertaining watching this cow haul ass along the path between the hobbit holes with a poor A.D. running about 20 feet behind her, desperately trying to catch up.
There were all manner of animals on the set ranging from goats to roosters, pigs, oxen, horses and all of them had handlers there to make sure they were fed, watered and safely munching on the lush green grass of Matamata. They would quickly duck out of frame whenever shots would go up.
Shortly after getting the shot on Frodo the unmistakable sound of chopper blades hit our ears. It was circling us. Obviously someone had hired it to fly above and take photos of the set.
An hour or two later a small, single-engine prop plane did the same thing, flying low and circling. Photos hit the net shortly after, I noticed. The crew was quite annoyed, not because Hobbiton was being exposed to the world, but because the choppers and planes were constantly getting in the shot and the sound of the engines was either ruining takes or making the production halt until they got out of earshot which could be a long while if they are circling.
So, it was an unwanted intrusion, especially frustrating when you consider they were already waiting for the light to be right, to get behind a cloud or peak out from behind a cloud depending on the previous shot.
It got to the point that producer Zane Weiner asked me to take a photo of the plane so we can try to get its tail number. I had the 18mm-55mm lens on my camera (which means its a shorter lens and doesnt zoom in too far), so I ran back to my bag, grabbed my 200mm lens and popped it on, but I was too late. The plane had already gone. Zane wanted me to let you guys know I failed at that particular task. And on my first day of location reporting, too.
That was one day of location shooting on The Hobbit. One day down, two months to go! Before I conclude this article, Id like to set up a little space where Ill be featuring a member of the crew. God willing Ill be able to do this with each of my pieces, introducing you to the fine folks who I spend my days with. These guys are the unsung heroes of filmmaking, so I feel they should be represented.
Kicking things off will be Kiran Shah.
If youve watched the appendices on the Extended Editions of the Lord of the Rings films you should recognize Kirans name. Hes a much loved character around the set. Hes an actor, stunt man and scale double. On Rings he doubled Elijah Wood, but before Lord of the Rings he had a massive career.
For instance, hes in Raiders of the Lost Ark hes the guy who brings the poisoned dates into Indy and Sallah. He doubled Short Round in Temple of Doom, he was a character in Ridley Scotts Legend (Blunder) and even knew Stanley Kubrick.
The story he told me was that he got to know Kubrick a little bit, but even being on friendly terms with the maestro didnt save him when he popped in for a visit on the set of Eyes Wide Shut. Stanley spotted him and said, Kiran, out! We all know the stories about how Kubrick didnt like a lot of crew around and that was Kirans little tale about it.
He also mentioned that LOTR and Hobbit illustrator/designer Alan Lee did the character designs for Legend and even drew the character that Shah ended up playing to look just like him. Shah attributes getting the role to Lee because he remembered auditioning for it and seeing Ridley Scott do a double take when Shah entered the room, looking back at the character design and up at him again.
In The Hobbit, Shah is up to his usual shenanigans, making the crew (and visiting movie geek reporters) crack up in-between takes and doubling hobbits. In the above picture hes waiting to double Martin Freemans Bilbo, which is why his eyes are reverse raccooned in his picture. Theres an eerie silicone mask of Bilbos face that hell put on when Bilbo is needed to be seen in a close to correct proportion.
Shah will also be a Goblin in the film and is just an overall joy to be around and as such he is this columns inaugural featured crew member.
The next report will cover my cameo appearance during a Hobbit market in front of The Green Dragon. There is a particular actor in this scene named Leroy that Im especially excited to tell you about. He has huge talents and thats even an understatement. I expect that report to land in a few days, but taking my own pictures means a bit of a clearance process.
I know the watermarks are annoying. I hate them, you hate them, so I made them as unintrusive as possible. If I see a bunch of sites take these images without credit and a linkback future pictures will have bigger watermarks. So, dont be a dick. I dont care if you use the image, just give a link back here, will ya? Dont ruin it for everybody.
More soon! This is going to be a crazy couple of months! Oh, and Happy Birthday to Peter Jackson! Thanks for letting me join the circus for a spell, sir!

So at :51-:53, the man (clearly not a Dwarf) on the far right -- who the hell is that? Aragorn isn't on the list of cast members.
Meanwhile, noted that the cast list includes both King Thror and King Thrain, and Azog. VERY NICE. I don't necessarily know how they work it into the story arc well, but I'd love to see some of Appendix A to LoTR in the movies. Christ that would rule....

Here he is:
That being said, I can appreciate why they did it. If they just had a bunch of bearded brawny dudes, the characters would be indistinguishable. They broken canon on the dwarven race in order to make for better film. Judging from the preview, I approve.
In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

In a series of short posts updating those of you still not brain-damaged enough to actually be reading this , I'll be bringing you up to speed on my consistently hilariously miserable life, before going on hiatus and exam lockdown (as well as finally explaining why I've been so crappy at blogging and keeping up with the blogs of you lovely people who still mysteriously care enough to visit me so often). First up in any account of my daily activities is my
Just yesterday I handed in my third-year dissertation, which was on one of the theories of origin of autism and dyslexia. (Funnily enough, one of my friends remarked since I started typing this dissertation she's noticed some of the symptoms of both autism and dyslexia in ME. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that I started typing this dissertation 36 hours before the deadline. Losing that much sleep can't be good for you. Just ask the little green fairy sitting on my shoulder. --Editor)
Seriously though, writing up that dissertation really exposed me to the scientific method on a way that the past two years here didn't. True, it was mostly a caffeine-fuelled rush accompanied by nightmares of Simon Baron-Cohen cracking a whip behind me every time I fell asleep, but researching all those articles and getting a glimpse of the mudslinging that goes on even in respectable medical journals made me appreciate the huge, sometimes ridiculous, emphasis on science here. And, of course, the amount of people out there who dedicate their lives to research, knowing full well they will never get the credit they deserve, yet plugging on out of pure curiosity and drive (Professor Baron-Cohen himself included).
Next up: Thanks to a slightly misinformed TCS reporter, I go head to head with the entire Cambridge University School of Clinical Medicine! Call an ambulance, will ya?
*Ahaha seewhatIdidthere? The title of the post parodied 'Me Myself and Irene' which is a film about schizophrenia and Simon Baron-Cohen delivers lectures on schizophrenia which is funny, see? Mm? Yes? No? I can stuff what where? Oh damn you all!

Enormous support shown for Dane Gregg
There was a standing room only benefit for Dane Gregg, the voice of Pirate Radio and community contributer, on Sunday at the Knights of Columbus hall. Gregg was surrounded by friends as he battles esophageal cancer. The benefit was organized by close friend Aletha Odneal.
Friends were constantly coming into the building, even after lunch was served to show their support for Gregg. Many were wearing 'Team Dane' shirts, which were purchased at the event.
Gregg, along with his wife Jackie, took center stage as the program began. Longtime friend and Boonville High School graduate Tom Krse who has written a number of stories for Chicken Soup for the Soul, began with a story about football. The story touched on perseverance and concluded by comparing the storie's situation to Gregg and his battle against cancer as he moves forward.
"Never run away from what you are afraid of, run right at it," Krse said. "Behind fear is freedom. You never find freedom if you run away. As a matter of fact, not long, you have no place to run."
He told Gregg the people here today are here to support him and his family.
"They are here to cheer for you. Everyone in this room has been touched by you in some way," Krse said. "They are here to cheer for you and root for you and encourage you to take every step necessary to help you face this challenge. This illness brings a lot of fear. When fear comes just remember never run away from what you are afraid of, run right at it," he repeated. "We love you, we support you and you can do this."
Once Krse completed his words for Gregg, they shared a hug.
A quilt was stitched together for Gregg by members of a grass roots organization known as Quilts of Valor because of his service in the United States Marine Corp during the Vietnam War. Area quilters have been creating quilts for men and women who have served in all American wars since 2003 and have made 86 quilts during that time.
Odneal spoke for a few seconds expressing her love and appreciation for Gregg as a close friend.
"When I organized this, Dane asked me if he was worth it," Odneal said.
She replied to Gregg.
"You see by the turnout today that everyone around you is here to support you."
Gregg said he and Jackie were overwhelmed from the support they received.
"We do not have the words to express how grateful we are to everyone," Gregg said.
