Bead Fest Santa Fe unites do-it-yourselfers and arts-and-crafters during a four-day celebration of beads, jewelry—and for good measure—some more beads. More than 150 booths and tables set up shop for the event, each ready to restock repertoires with gems, stones, and a hodgepodge of other supplies.
In between exploring the sea of exhibitors, attendees learn about the latest techniques, tricks, and tools at nearly 100 all-inclusive workshops (not included with the price of admission). There, artists from around the country provide education on specific topics in classes such as Intro to Metalsmithing and Wire Weaving, where guests learn the craftiest way to escape prison. Free demonstrations, book signings, and other attractions round out the fest's collection of creative attractions.
At Sundance Aviation, shimmering fiberglass gliders soar up to 18,000 feet above see level as they cruise over the New Mexico desert. Pilots navigate gliders high above the air, riding thermal lifts in the summer and mountain wave lifts in the winter. Pilots offer easy-going, scenic tours as well as more acrobatic flights that take passengers on a series of multiple loops, wing-overs, chandelles, and deep stalls. Passengers can take to the skies in a modern fiberglass Grob 103 or the historic Schweitzer 2-33 that's powered exclusively by a furnace of handlebar mustaches.
The Santa Fe Southern Railway revels in a rich history, one that commenced in the 1800s and was heralded in the Academy Award–winning Judy Garland song "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe". Connecting Santa Fe to the rest of the country, the train line helped to build the southwestern city's reputation as a great arts destination as it transported visitors and wanderlust-filled paintbrushes to the picturesque terrain. During regular expeditions to nearby Lamy, the railway continues to dazzle riders with sweeping vistas just outside the windows of vintage 1920s train cars, which each sport their own snack and drink bar.
Body pampers and tones physiques with spa services and fitness training and tends to wee ones with childcare services and sating hungers at an organic café. Aestheticians buff visages with organic, Ecocert-certified Naturopathica products during custom facials and tighten sagging skin until it's smooth enough to host a microscopic roller derby with microdermabrasion, microcurrents, and derma-rollers. Yoga and dance classes invite limbs to bend and shake, working up an appetite sated by the café's menu, which pleases raw and vegan palates as well as source-conscious carnivores. After a massage or personal-training session, clients pick up eco-friendly fashions at an on-site boutique, where sustainable, fair-trade garments give patrons something to wear to a dinner party at Mother Nature's house.
When Eric Rose and Sam Hitman took over the Rosemarie Shellaberger Tennis Center in 2011, they acquired a 55,000-square-foot space spanning eight acres of land. Since the center's inception three decades ago, it has evolved into six indoor and seven outdoor Rebound Ace tennis courts, which push back on players' sneakers and stilettoes with a cushiony surface. Among the outdoor courts, a stadium court steals the spotlight with seating for up to 1,000 spectators, and four of the peripheral courts sport lighting for nighttime matches.
For adult programs, the center's staff of tennis pros captain private lessons and get hearts thumping during cardio tennis classes. They craft junior programs with youthful muscles in mind, honing hand-eye coordination at Pee-Wee Tennis and fostering competition as healthy as a brussels sprout with a therapist at the Elite Junior Tennis Program. After class, athletes can unwind in the lounge or atrium and peruse equipment from brands such as Babolat and Wilson at the pro shop.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, visitors would stop to rest at the historic El Rancho de las Golondrinas as they began or ended their long journeys along the royal road that stretched between Santa Fe and Mexico City. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Val Kilmer, and the cast and crew of some 30 films used the ranch's 200 scenic acres and 34 historic structures as backdrops to their movies and personalized birthday cards. With preserved and restored villages dating back to the early 1700s sloping through a rural farming valley, the grounds collapse time, bringing the past to the present and the present to the past. Today, guests wander this living history museum to explore how colonial and frontier life was lived the Southwest. During a self-guided tour, visitors pick up or download a map of the ranch before weaving through a snapshot of history brought to life by villagers clothed in the styles of the time. Feet patter past a molasses mill, a blacksmith shop, and defensive towers where guards kept watch on the horizon and coordinated messages for passing UFOs. With a reservation, docents will lead you through the trails that cut through a landscape dotted with goats, sheep, burros, and horses, fostering an understanding of the culture and arts of historic New Mexico.

The Thirsties Duo Diaper is a two-piece diapering system that has an absorbent insert and a waterproof sleeve diaper. Only 2 sizes are needed to diaper your baby from birth to potty training! One-size diapers are usually too big on the average newborn and too small for most toddlers over 2. So they aren't actually one size after all. You will probably need a different diaper for your newborn and another for your toddler. But the Thirsties Duo Diaper comes in 2 sizes that will truly take your baby from newborn to potty!
Thirsties Duo Diapers have an adjustable rise so they will fit whether your baby is tall or short, thin or chunky. The Thirsties Duo Diaper also has leg gussets that will keep those messes contained. It is made of a completely waterproof fabric that is breathable, pliable, and very comfortable. The soft microfleece liner on the inside protects your baby's skin from wetness.
The Thirsties Duo Diaper has a sleeve design which means there is an opening on both sides. This makes it easy to stuff and also easy to clean. You don't need to remove the soiled inserts when washing. Just toss the dirty Thirsties Duo Diaper in the laundry and the insert will agitate free from the diaper in the washing machine.
The Duo Inserts have 2 layers of surged microfiber terry snapped together with 5 surged layers of hemp jersey - that is 7 layers in all! Microfiber terry pulls wetness away from your baby's skin quickly, while the hemp holds all that moisture for added absorbency.
Thirsties Duo Diapers are easy to use! Stuff the insert in the sleeve of the diaper and wrap it around your baby. Secure the diaper with the hook-and-look closures for an easy way to get a perfect fit. Thirsties' leg gussets ensure leak-proof protection and the bindings are soft against baby's skin. The fold-over tabs protect the hook-and-loop-closures in the wash.
Thirsties Duo Diapers can be machine washed in warm or hot. Dry them in the dryer or hang to dry. Thirsties Duo Diapers are made in the USA of 100% polyester with urethane coating - free of PVC, phthalates, lead, and latex.
Size One | 6-18 lbs | 0-9 months |
Size Two | 18-40 lbs | 9-36+ months |
Available Colors:
Honeydew | Mango | Meadow | Ocean Blue |
Orchid | Rose | Storm Cloud | White |
Only $17.50 with Free Shipping on ALL Pocket Diapers!

Sleep Schedule WITHOUT Crying It Out?
Alrighty moms of Momaroo, I need your help/advice.Here I am, sitting across from my fiancé holding our son because I have once again gotten to my breaking point. Parker fell asleep last night at 1 in the morning, and by 3:30 was waking up every 20 minutes until 6:30 when I gave him his bottle and he got up for the day. It is now 12:15 in the morning and I am at my wits end in dire need of a full night's sleep.
Everyone told me by 5 and a half months he would be on a schedule. For just a pinch over 2 weeks he was on a schedule and sleeping through the night. It was pure bliss. Then he spent the night at my mom's, and since then he has never been able to follow that schedule.
I try. I really really try. But he refuses to follow one. I know one of my biggest errors is I do not have a set time we wake up in the morning. I am so exhausted that I sleep whenever I can, so if he decides to take a 3 hour nap at 10 in the morning, I take it with him.
He also is a really fussy eater. His formula is one that CANNOT be saved, so it is really risky to try and force schedule feedings on him. Some days he will eat 24 ounces total. Some days he eats 36 ounces. Some days he will take 5 bottles, some days he will only take 3. He is growing just fine so his pediatrician is not worried, but she constantly tells me how important it is to put him on a schedule. But she doesn't exactly spill the secret on HOW I am supposed to do that.
With his acid reflux, he does not sleep well at all once he does actually get asleep. He moves around like crazy, causing him to spit out his paci and once that is out of his mouth he freaks out and will not go back to sleep unless I race and put it back in his mouth before his eyes open.
Plus, He will not sleep unless a blanket is curled around him tightly, but that makes him hot. If I try to unroll it once he does get asleep, it wakes him up. I have tried very thin blankets and having him in just a diaper or just wear a onesie, and it never fails that the heat wakes him up.
Finally, it seems as if he has night terrors already as an infant. He has started to get VERY upset and nothing will calm him down. Once he fully wakes he is fine. But even if I hold him and talk to him sweetly, he whimpers, wiggles, cries, and whines until his eyes fully open.I have tried the routine of bath, bottle, and bed. It works and then 20 minutes later he is WIDE awake and will not go back to sleep no matter how hard I try. Not for another 2-3 hours. We basically have to play with him until he completely wears himself out and then we put him to bed for a few hours, he wakes up, and then I spent the rest of the night holding him rocking him to sleep.
I know, I should just let him comfort himself in his crib. I would be totally up for this except we live in an apartment. Parker's cry has two volumes: LOUD, and earth shattering LOUD. No matter how much it pains me and my fiancé to hear him at 3 in the morning, I know it is 10 times more annoying for our vertical neighbors. I cannot allow them to suffer through his screams just to try and train him.
I know there are other ways to get your kid on a schedule aside from crying it out, but I don't know any. We have tried to follow "The Best Baby on the Block" and NOTHING in that book worked for him.
I want to be able to have a time when he eats, when he naps, and at the very least sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I need to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. I knew the first couple of months I would be seriously sleep deprived, but I am not sure how much longer of this I can take.
I know, I know, a mother is always sleep deprived and blah blah blah… But seriously, I need my nights back! Even if it was just every other night. I just need some sleep, and I don't feel like that is too much to ask for.So I am asking, BEGGING any moms out there that had this same problem of a baby that refused a schedule and they were able to somewhat turn it around without having to resort to crying it out.
How did you do it?Please. Anything would be most appreciated.

PAT CAPUTO: Why ALDS Detroit Tigers vs Oakland A's is far from over WITH VIDEO
It's almost too good to be true, isn't it? Like a mirage or a pleasant dream.
After a summer during which losing close games was painful, the playoffs have started and weakness has been become strength.
The Tigers didn't play kick ball the first two games of the American League Division Series, the Oakland A's did. The Tigers No. 5 through No. 9 hitters a problem? The likes of Omar Infante and Alex Avila have delivered big blows.
Has anybody mentioned Justin Verlander and Kate Upton in the same sentence lately? Jim Leyland has gone from the old neighbor yelling at kids and dogs to stay off his lawn to a loveable lug.
It's time to clear the list for the next bestseller - "Don Kelly: Postseason Hero."
All summer, the Tigers lived in the doghouse in this town. They were labeled as underachievers. It wasn't so much they won the American League Central as the White Sox lost it. Now, up two games to none in the ALDS, there is an assumption the series is over and the bandwagon is rolling again in Detroit City.
It is a false sense of security. The Tigers have won nothing yet. They improved the odds by winning the first two games of the series, but there are other factors that will come into play that don't weigh in the Tigers' favor with the set moving to Oakland.
The first is location, location, location. Continued...
The Tigers were a great home club this year, posting a 50-31 record. On the road, they were 38-43.
Conversely, the A's had the same 50-31 home mark the Tigers did in 2012. Anybody want to know how difficult it has been to beat the A's in Oakland? Ask the Texas Rangers.
All they had to do was win one of their last three games in Oakland to clinched the AL West title, which appeared to be their destiny since the start of the season. The A's won all three of those games. In fact, Oakland has won eight of its last nine home games.
It's almost like the A's have the Tigers right where they want them. Oakland lost nine straight games in May. The A's lost two of their starting pitchers for the season, Bartolo Colon and Brandon McCarthy. On June 30, the A's trailed Texas by 13 games. The 2012 Oakland A's have The Rally Kings.
Even before taking a 2-0 lead in this series, the Tigers were the hip pick to win reach and possibility win the World Series. Bovada's betting line only listed the Yankees with having better odds than the Tigers, who had the seventh-best record in the American League this season.
There are good reasons the Tigers are so highly regarded. They have Justin Verlander leading a solid starting rotation. Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder are in the middle of the batting order.
But it's much more difficult to discern, in the next two games, what the Tigers will get from their starting pitching.
Who is the real Anibal Sanchez, the one who has been very good lately, or the one who struggled upon his arrival to Detroit after a trade from Miami? Game 4 starter Max Scherzer did throw hard in his last regular season start, but his previous starts he had a shoulder issue.
Sanchez and Scherzer on the road are not nearly the sure things Verlander and Doug Fister were at home in Game 1 and Game 2. Verlander is set for a Game 5 - if it is necessary.
Yet, for all his brilliance, Verlander has an ERA of nearly five in five postseason road appearances. Continued...
The Oakland leg of this series figures to put the respective bullpens to more of a severe test. It's the one area of strength the A's have over the Tigers.
The landscape for these playoffs is different because of the 2-3 format.
The Tigers took full advantage by winning the first two games of the series - and they are in the driver's seat.
Yet, it doesn't mean a crash isn't possible. While there is margin for error for the Tigers, they'd be best served by not testing it.
As the Texas Rangers can attest, the sooner you officially put the A's away, the better.

Saw it last night, and pretty much agree with the thumb sideways assessment. I can see what they're going for with the whole Azog thing; intended to build up to adding a less anonymous fate to Thorin in the eventual Battle of 5 Armies. But it was definitely clumsy from the start. The pale guy swore an oath to exterminate his bloodline! When they first met! Therefore he's a terrible enemy from his past! Doesn't follow. Radagast's portrayal was certainly a bit much. Poor Sylvester McCoy certainly does play the heck out of terrible things he's given though. My Doctor Who geekery has always wished his run as the 7th Doctor was given better things to work with, because I had the impression he really could've shined much brighter in the series if the BBC hadn't apparently been trying its hardest to murder the franchise at that point. (I'm guessing; just what it felt like. I digress.) I never even noticed the elfblade inconsistency of glow, but now I'll see it forevermore. Thanks! Jackson lucked out so much by getting Serkis as Gollum. I was annoyed every time it cut away to slapstick Goblintown fights from the awesome Bilbo vs Gollum confrontations. I worry about how they'll shoehorn in non-book Gollum appearances in the rest; I take for granted that they will. Probably end up having him ride Azog around like Master Blaster from Thunderdome.
On the Azog thing, I think they felt they needed to add something to the story that would create an enemy to focus on that the audience could see and understand rather then the few glimpses of the dragon we get. Remember, in Fellowship they did the same thing with the leader of the Uruk-hai, Lurtz.
I understand why he did it, I just think it was dumb. It was dumb in the LotR films, too, but at least there they used a villain that was already in the story. Both stories already have plenty of immediate enemies for the audience to focus on, anyway--Black Riders and orcs and the Balrog in Fellowship, and Trolls and Goblins and Gollum and spiders and elves and eventually Smaug in the Hobbit. I'm not sure why cramming in one more makes either story better or more accessible to the audience.
If you view the story as a single entity, then sure, you don't need more. But these are movies that won't see the next part for a year, so you need something that pays off the story so far at the end of each part. Defeating Lurtz accomplished that in Fellowship, leaving the audience on a high note. Granted, the way this film ended doesn't really achieve the same thing. But you can't set up Smaug as the main villain only because what happens after he's killed off? Even reading The Hobbit I always felt the stuff after was just a long epilogue. So what Jackson is doing here is creating Azog as a villain that will keep the audience engaged after Smaug is killed and justify however many more hours we sit through after that. Remember, Smaug will either die at the end of film two or sometime really early in film 3 (assuming there isn't some major story revision).
There was a scene right before the group encountered the storm giants where Azog was tracking them, and he says something about the mountain pass. So it didn't feel out of place to me that Azog was on them right after they escaped the goblins. IIRC, the Phantom Edit wasn't just some fan, it was Topher Grace working on his editing chops. Edit: I was wrong, Phantom Edit and Topher Grace's version were two different things.
Defeating Lurtz directly after confronting the Balrog was probably one of the biggest anticlimaxes in the history of cinema. Seriously, who the hell gave two shits about freaking Lurtz? He was just some dumb Orc that had no real relationship to the story aside from the fact that we got to see him early in the film, as foreshadowing. Azog is arguably worse, though. Because he survives the first Hobbit film, so we don't even get the incredibly superficial payoff of getting to see the heroes kill off some pointless character that nobody cares about at the end of the film. So instead, he's a pointless character that lives on, serving as an ongoing distraction from the main storyline. I suspect that Jackson thinks that people will be confused if the protagonists don't keep fighting the same enemy through the film, rather than having a series of mostly unrelated encounters (that end up being not so unrelated in the end, when all of the parties that they pissed off along the way come back to haunt them. With armies). I think he's wrong, and wish he would stick more to the story as written, since it's generally a damn sight better than the stuff that he invents.
Saw it today. Have nothing to add that hasn't already been said - just reread Ben's posts againg and you have my take. Having the brilliant scene between Gollum and Bilbo intercut with The Three (well Thirteen) Stooges escaping from Goblintown was a painful reminder that PJ also made the ghastly King Kong. But casting was great, and some bits shone - I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the full Smaug.
The fact that people in the theatre I was in cheered when he was killed tells me that a lot of people disagree with you on that. These films aren't primarily made for the hardcore Tolkien fan who will later watch them all in a short amount of time. They are made for the casual moviegoer who is looking for some entertainment and expects some sort of payoff for their 2-3 hour investment.
I know several people who were pissed off at the end of Fellowship because they didn't know it was only the first part of a trilogy. They were expecting a nice, tidy ending with everything wrapped up.
Good lord, I hope not. But the whole point of the end of the story... and I guess I should probably spoiler this...
Well, that's a fairly backhanded compliment. "They are written for people who won't think about them too hard." For what it's worth, I agree!
I just finished re-reading LOTR and I had forgotten how much was changed, especially in The Return of the King. The main plot points are there, but almost everything up to the Battle of Pellennor Fields is different. As much as I love Tolkien, I don't find him infallible, so I tend to forgive Jackson many of his transgressions. I may have made different choices in adapting the story, but let's not forget he took something most people considered unfilmable and turned out some damn good films and a billion dollar franchise. Ben, please tell me you're not one of those people complaining the Scouring of the Shire was cut? Talk about an anti-climax.
I agree with Ben's spoiler re: the themes at the ending of The Hobbit, but I think the third movie is going to circumvent this somewhat by focusing on the Necromancer by that point. While we don't know how the chronology of events will pan out, I doubt that Gandalf & Co. are going to pop over to Dol Goldur and banish the Necromancer while Bilbo and the dwarves are traipsing around in Mirkwood. It seems more likely that the movies will opt for a big onscreen confrontation that ends with the Necromancer's "defeat" and thereby provide the comic-book villain that some of the audience needs, hopefully without obscuring the themes of greed and pride that Thorin embodies. (And as someone upthread noted, the final movie will likely end - perhaps with an after-credits scene - by showing the Eye of Sauron opening above his tower in Mordor.) It's worthwhile to remember that Tolkien's dwarves are, by and large, not particularly admirable folk. They're often xenophobic, greedy, selfish, prideful, and cowardly. Even Thorin isn't an especially likeable guy - he's kind of an ass, in fact. Thorin's band of dwarves is not a group of honorable, selfless warriors on a sacred quest to reclaim their home - they're opportunists that are after wealth and treasure, first and foremost. Time and again, they "volunteer" Bilbo for the hard jobs and send him in to bad situations alone while they hide elsewhere. It's more explicit in the book, but as a whole, dwarves are not particularly brave or honorable.
It's not a matter of Tolkien being "infallible," just a simple question of "Are Jackson's changes better than the original material?" Almost 100% of the time, I find that they aren't. Note that this is not incongruous with the suggestion that Tolkien's work could be improved upon, though personally, I prefer when they stick closer to the books. My interest in the movies stems mainly from the fact that I love the books, so I think that's a perfectly valid position. That's one change that I actually agree with, despite the fact that I think it's a hugely important part of the story in the books. It's just not something that could be made to work in the format of a film, though--even a very long one. The ending already took a huge amount of screen time without the Scouring. And I agree that, in spite of my many criticisms, Jackson did a surprisingly good job filming a story that I long suspected to be unfilmable.
Pretty sure that's how it's going to go down. Benedict Cumberbatch is not credited as Smaug in the 3rd movie (although we all know IMDB is not infallible), but only as The Necromancer. The thing that sort of baffles me is that he's credited as both The Necromancer and Smaug in the 2nd, so I'm not sure how Jackson is going to work that out. I still want to know why we see his name in the end credits of the first movie. IMDB says he was The Necromancer. All we saw of The Necromancer was a shadowy figure surrounded by light that just sort of screamed for a few seconds. If all it took to get into the end credits was to stand there and scream, that would be freaking hilarious. He may have more presence in the Director's Cut, though (good lord, I don't even want to know how long that's going to be) and they simply left his name in after editing. I can''t think of any other reason. Second movie is going to be all about Smaug (it's named The Desolation of Smaug after all and we did get the final scene of his eye opening). Thorin is in the third movie. I predict either death by orc or going out in a blaze of glory, Boromir-style, defeating The Necromancer. Like you, I have a sneaking feeling that that's going to be the big climax. Bunch of tears, shouting, a bit of closure for everyone else, then cue The Eye of Sauron and fade to black. Just don't Lucas-up the other two movies, Jackson, and I'll probably be happy.
That's all it ever takes, this is nothing new for Hollywood. Short of just being an extra walking in the background if you're on screen or your voice is heard you're in the credits.
Yep. A buddy of mine got his SAG card and his name in the credits for saying two words and getting a piece of gum spit into his hand.
I think we can expect at least an hour and a half for the battle of five armies, including a ten-minute speech where Thorin rallies the troops.
I finally saw the movie this weekend and it felt like a lot of it was filler. I hadn't read the book since high school (about 25 years ago). My buddy explained to me that Peter Jackson added a lot of stuff found in the appendices and that some stuff were changed. I don't recall anything about a white orc. I thought orcs would be short-lived compared to dwarves? They said it had been sixty years since the dwarves were kicked out of their homeland. Even if that white work lived that long he's in surprising great shape for an 80 plus year-old.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a lot of it" when you call it filler, but most of this movie is straight from the book or only somewhat modified. I guess you can call the opening prologue filler, and of course the Radagast and Necromancer stuff, but that is only a relatively small part of this film.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I went in with fairly low expectations, expecting it to be LOTR-lite with more gags than I'd care for, and that's pretty accurate actually. However the dramatic bits were more compelling than I was expecting and the funny bits were usually restrained enough to be enjoyable. Radagast was pretty ridiculous but didn't bother me much, for whatever reason. If you're going to make him ridiculous a bunny sleigh is kinda cool. The Great Goblin, on the other hand, fell completely flat. As did everything in that scene, repeatedly, for a long time. That whole segment was the worst of trying to have it both ways - dramatic and comical - and failing at both. There's no tension in the dwarves being captured with so much farce thrown in, so the whole chase only really functions as comedy, and even for slapstick it's not very good. There were plenty of bits I thought were awesome though, like the mountain giants fighting, Gandalf at Rivendell, dwarf drama at Erebor, everything Smaug because DRAGON!!!!, and of course Gollum who continues to be brilliant. So yea, those are my cards on the table: when Peter Jackson does high drama it (generally speaking) really works for me, whereas his comedic and visual excesses do not.
I don't think Tolkien ever definitively established how long orcs lived, but he did say that they were created from corrupted elves. So presumably they are similarly long-lived. Edit: I just did a quick google search about this because, why not? And one guy was claiming that Tolkien never mentioned old orcs. Thinking back, I think he's right. And I even read the fucking Silmarillion. That could mean one of three things: 1) There are no old orcs because they all die in battle before they reach old age. 2) We don't get to hear much about orce domesticity because all the stories are written from the viewpoint of the orcs' enemies. 3) The orcs, much like their ancestors the elves, don't actually get old. Take your pick which option appeals to you the most.
My buddy, who read The Hobbit recently, said that the end battle with the white orc was created just for the movie. According to the Tokien wiki the white orc was mentioned by Gandalf in passing in one sentence. I thought the movie could have ended after the Company fled the goblins and I thought the warg battle and the rescue by the giant eagles could have been trimmed down (my buddy said the ponies made it up to the Lonely Mountain).
I have similarly read 'The Hobbit' recently (for the fourth or fifth time) and I'm about 90% certain that your buddy is talking through his hole because as far as I recall, there are no orcs in the book at all - just goblins.
Ah, looks like some people use orc and goblin interchangeably. Including, perhaps, Tolkien himself. I've always thought of them as separate races and there certainly appears to be a difference between how Jackson portrays goblins and orcs in all of the films (for example, in the Mines of Moria in Fellowship).
As a D&D player I always assumed the goblins were a smaller species like those in Moria. There are enough variations of orcs that the goblins could be sub-species I guess.
Is it me or almost all of the orcs and goblins in The Hobbit so far are all CGI? Previously they were stuntmen in suit and make-up (in the non-massive battle shots).
Yeah... Tolkien used "goblin" and "orc" as synonyms. Because he happened to use "goblin" more often in the hobbit, and because the orcs in that book were smaller orc breeds, many people associate "goblin" with the smaller orcs. But Tolkien himself doesn't stick with that nomenclature. They're all goblins & orcs. It's goblin & orcs all the way down.
Reading some wiki stuff, it looks like he wavered. In Book of Lost Tales, for example, orcs and goblins are explicitly separate things.
The end battle was certainly significantly jazzed up. In the book, the goblins set fires around the trees; the trees are just about to be consumed, taking our heroes with them, when the eagles show up and rescue everyone. There's no sword/axe play, and Bilbo does not get all heroic about saving Thorin. In fact, he barely makes it out with the eagles. I'm afraid your buddy is wrong about the ponies. The goblins get those when they capture the party, and they're not saved. They get more ponies later. In fact, The Hobbit is pretty rough on ponies all round. Maybe Tolkien felt bad about it enough to make Bill the Heroic Pony in LOTR.
Yeah, I was scratching my head about that statement. The ponies from when they set off from The Shire are not the same ones they ride to the lonely mountain. The original ponies are presumably all killed. I still think my favorite part of the movie was the interaction between Gollum and Bilbo, even if it was like 30 minutes long. Gollum was just so fantastically creepy in this movie that I barely felt the time pass. The overly-comedic and extremely long goblin fight, on the other hand, can go fuck itself.
The most enjoyable part for me is the Bilbo-Gollum part. Gollum is noticeably much better in the 10 years since the Lord of the Rings movies. Andy Serkis needs to be acknowledge by the acting organizations for his part giving life to Gollum.

A CampRight SUV tent is an economical alternative to a camper. It connects to your Ram 1500 to add more living and sleeping space for camping. The alligator clamp allows easy removal of the tent when you want to use your SUV. Sleeps up to 4 adults.
A CampRight SUV tent is more economical choice than a camper. Better yet, it allows you to use your Ram 1500's cargo space and power receptacles to enhance your camping experience. The SUV tent works with minivans, wagons, crossovers and trucks with caps. The alligator clamping sleeve attaches securely around the rear of your Ram 1500. The large doors and windows have storm covers for those rainy days, and no-see-um mesh to block pesky bugs.
No rain fly or ground tarp is necessary for this tent. The 130G polyethylene plastic bathtub-style floor on the main tent blocks water at the tent base. The tent fabric is WeatherGuard treated for waterproofing and the material is also UV-protected and fire-resistant. The Rightline SUV tent fits snugly over the sides and rear hatch of your Ram 1500 so that water can't run inside.
This large tent is packed with special features to make camping easier and more fun. Organize your camping supplies using the four gear pockets inside the tent. And use the glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls to find your way out of the tent at night without having to feel around in the dark.
Heavy-duty straps and nylon buckles secure the tent to your SUV body without scratching the finish, and the instructions are sewn right into the tent's storage bag so that they never get lost. Standard tent poles, guy lines and stakes are also used for setup.
The adjustable alligator clamping sleeve removes easily when you want to separate your Ram 1500 from the tent and drive off to sightsee or grab some groceries. Your tent will stay standing and ready for your return. And you won't leave behind a gaping hole - the tent has a door that zips up to secure your shelter until you return.The alligator sleeve material can be rolled up and secured with the dowel and loop fastners around the doorway.
When you're ready to pack up and go home take down your tent and store it in the included storage bag. This roomy tent sleeps up to four adults.

Saturday, 11 September 2010
(This column is dedicated to all of my friends who think it is so funny that I get nervous whenever a police car is near. They know I have never smoked anything and never abused any drugs. They know that I never let anyone that I do not know ride in my car, I rarely drink, and I never drink and drive. ...What I know is that my being a model citizen will never insure me from becoming a black corpse…)
I am disgusted by the droves of people killing other people everywhere, everyday. I can accept that everyday people are murderers. But, I will never accept that officers of the law are being allowed to act as state sanctioned murderers.
Increasingly, officers of the law are lawless. Though they claim to be hired to protect and serve, they are clearly being paid to torture and slay. Far too many police officers are fascist gangsters. They are bluer and bigger than The Crips. Far too many police officers are public executioners with attitudes. Unlike gang bangers who lurk under the cover of night to commit drive-bys, killer cops flaunt the luxury of daylight drive-bys before audiences.
Countless innocent, law abiding citizens have been gunned down by police officers. Most of these corpses are black and poor. None of them have been avenged.
When everyday murderers are prosecuted, they are usually imprisoned for life. When murderers who happen to be cops are exposed, they are rarely ever prosecuted. In fact, they are usually rewarded with paid vacations, strategically granted during bogus investigations.
Nationwide, the evidence of this evil is documented daily. The latest corpse to win a national audience is that of a 19 year old sister named Tyisha Miller. Recently, in Riverside, California, while reclined in a locked, parked car, killer cops ambushed Miller. They shot her 27 times. Four bullets burst her skull, one shattered her chest, and the others sprayed her entire corpse. Are you wondering what great crime she committed to warrant such an execution? This is it: She had a flat tire and awaited road service from police while Black!!!
The executioners are lying as you read this. They have changed their original lies many times. There has been no valid explanation for this senseless murder. There has been no revenge by street soldiers with rebel missions. Who will avenge the spirits of the countless Tyisha Millers of America? Who will kill these killers in uniforms? Who will protect the prey from the predators?
From the legendary COINTELPRO slaughters of Black Panthers to the frequently fatal beatings of black motorists, killer cops are rabidly engaged in a one-sided war against African-Americans. In a superior book titled Two Nations: Black & White, Separate, Hostile, & Unequal, author Andrew Hacker examines just how "Officer Friendly" (in white areas) morphs into Captain Deadly (in black areas):
"Black Americans have a three times greater chance than whites of dying from a policeman's bullet...By no means is every black person slain by the police a criminal...Quite enough incidents have made the news to suggest that blacks are more likely than whites to be killed in error. Indeed, in many cases no weapon was found on the subject's body...Most Blacks can recite a litany of names to be memorialized as victims of official white force. Here are just a few from the New York City area: Arthur Miller, Marian Johnson, Elizabeth Mangum, Peter Funches, Jay Parker, Michael Stewart, Eleanor Bumpurs, Nicholas Bartlett, Yvonne Smallwood, Stephen Kelly, Kevin Thorpe, Phillip Parnell. White New Yorkers would be hard pressed to cite even a single police victim of their own race...And, even if the police do not draw their guns, most Black Americans can recall encounters where they were treated with discourtesy, hostility, or worse...At issue is a proclivity of police personnel to judge individuals first by their color..."
Everyday murders are committed successfully. No one is ever caught or seen. Everyday I pray that millions of Black murderers will learn to kill their real enemies as quickly and quietly as they do their spouses, lovers, neighbors, associates, gays, and kin. The day that prayer is answered is the very same day that the Revolution will be reality.
Until that day, I await the payment of karmic debts which killer cops continue to rapidly incur, for the slaughters of persons like Tyisha Miller. It is a debt they MUST pay to the universe. It is one they WILL pay across oceans of time...
Tyisha Miller: Rest in peace my sista…We are still being slain. We will remember you eternally…
"Poem about Police Violence"
by June Jordan
Tell me something
what you think would happen if
everytime they kill a black boy
then we kill a cop
everytime they kill a black man
then we kill a copyou think the accident rate would lower subsequently?
sometimes the feeling like amaze me baby
comes back to my mouth and I am quiet
like Olympian pools from the running
mountainous snows under the sunsometimes thinking about the 12th House of the Cosmos
or the way your ear ensnares the tip
of my tongue or signs that I have never seen
like DANGER WOMEN WORKINGI lose consciousness of ugly bestial rapid
and repetitive affront as when they tell me
18 cops in order to subdue one man
18 strangled him to death in the ensuing scuffle
(don't you idolize the diction of the powerful: subdue
and scuffle my oh my) and that the murder
that the killing of Arthur Miller on a Brooklyn
street was just a "justifiable accident" again
(Again)People been having accidents all over the globe
so long like that I reckon that the only
suitable insurance is a gun
I'm saying war is not to understand or rerun
war is to be fought and wonsometimes the feeling like amaze me baby
blots it out/the bestial but
not too often tell me something
what you think would happen if
everytime they kill a black boy
then we kill a cop
everytime they kill a black man
then we kill a copyou think the accident rate would lower subsequently

BronchoscopyBronchoscopy is a procedure doctors use to look at the airways leading to the lungs. During bronchoscopy, a thin, lighted instrument (bronchoscope) is inserted through the nose or mouth into the throat and then into the airways leading to the lungs. Bronchoscopy can be used to collect samples of tissue or sputum for analysis, to check for growths (such as tumors) in the airways and lungs, and to remove blockages in the airways.

Calphalon® Nonstick 5-Piece Bakeware Set
Nice set
I'm not a huge baker, but these get the job done. I have this set as well as a couple single cookie sheets. Overall, I like the bakeware. It doesn't stick, it can be dishwashed, and it holds up well. However, the large baking pan warps when in the oven. It's not a big deal for some things I cook, but if I am cooking something liquidy, I am afraid it will spill in the oven. I don't know if this is a defect or normal for pans. The flat sheets, cake pan, or any other of the bakeware does not do this. Also, when cooled it returns to its flat shape. Weird!

Missouri's Owls
As predators, owls play an important role in controlling mice, rats and rabbits, which might otherwise overrun the earth. In the process, they tend to select the easiest to catch—slower, weaker or diseased individuals—thus forging a stronger and healthier prey population. The number of prey required to support each owl is so great that there simply cannot be very many owls. For this reason, owls can quite easily be forced toward extinction should their environment deteriorate.
Help Missouri's Owls
- Inform the Conservation Department or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service if you know of someone who has killed or disturbed owls or who has a live or dead owl in possession.
- Retain large, hollow trees or old buildings when possible—especially if owls are nesting in them. Protect all nesting sites.
- Place nesting boxes for barn owls and screech owls.
- If you must use pesticides or mouse and rat poisons, use conservative amounts with care. Owls can control your rodent pests to a degree if you encourage them to live around you.
- Don't try to adopt baby owls. First, it is illegal for anyone without a permit to pick up a baby owl. Second, it is normal for owls to leave the nest before they can fly. Their parents feed them regularly, although they may not be around at the moment. And baby owls are adept at defending themselves from danger. Captive owls often become sick and die. Even those few that are reared are likely to be social misfits that can never return to their proper place in the wild.
How are owls related to other birds?
Birds of prey, owls along with hawks, eagles and falcons, constitute a group called "raptors" whose members are distinguished because they have talons (sharp claws) on their feet for catching prey and hooked beaks for tearing it apart. Owls, however, are only distantly related to their daytime counterparts. They are more closely related to other nighttime (nocturnal) birds like whip-poor-wills.
Why are owls nocturnal?
The predator life style requires very special refinements, and owls display a variety of fascinating features and behaviors. Their nighttime existence, for example, makes it easier for them to hunt the mice and other small mammals that are also active at that time.
How do owls see?
An owl's eyes are huge so that they can gather more light, thus providing them excellent night vision. In fact, a Great Horned Owl's eyes are nearly as large as a man's. Unlike other birds, owl eyes look forward and therefore each eye sees the same object from two different angles. This produces three-dimensional perception, similar to humans, making it easier to detect the distance of prey, perches and branches as they fly about in the dark. Unlike a human, an owl's eyes are fixed in their sockets and cannot turn. To focus on another object, an owl must swivel its head. It can do this with amazing quickness.
How do owls hear?
The ear openings are also directed forward and are shielded beneath downy feathers within the owl's familiar facial disk. (The ear tufts of some owls have nothing to do with hearing.) The facial disk itself serves to focus sound waves into the ears. Strangely, the ear opening on the right is higher than the one on the left. Each ear therefore receives a sound from a slightly different angle. This provides owls 3-D hearing in addition to 3-D seeing, thus doing us humans one better. Experiments have shown this sense to be so effective that Barn Owls can locate prey in total darkness by hearing alone.
How do owls hunt?
To aid in nighttime hunting, owls are gifted with silent flight. This results from tiny serrations along the leading edge of flight feathers that reduce the sound of flowing air. Coupled with this, owls use a surprise attack. Having located their game while on the wing or from a perch they fly in quickly, feet first. Killing is rapid and the victim is usually carried in the feet or beak to a perch or nest where it is devoured.
How do owls eat?
Large items are torn apart with talons and beak. Small morsels, such as mice, are swallowed whole. Hours later indigestible bones, fur and feather are coughed up in firm, cylindrical one-to-two-inch pellets. Sometimes many of these pellets can be found under a favorite perch or nest. By identifying the remains in the pellets, the owl's food habits can be studied. The pellets beneath one perch contained parts of 1,987 field mice, 656 house mice, 210 rats, 92 blackbirds and four frogs.

More minimal synth madness from (Max) Brotman and (Jesse) Short, with a 2012 cassette release "Distance Unknown" pressed up onto wax where it belongs by the good folks over at Chondritic Sound! - dig it:
"LP version of the tape released May 2012 and the project that kicked off Chondritic's return to vinyl. One of my favorite duos after I picked up their excellent (yet hard to track down) debut LP "Heights". Modern minimal wave as aware of the genre's predecessors as it is of its future. Dark, stripped down minimal synth vascillating between energetic force and languid, somber burns. 300 copies on black vinyl, printed jacket, insert."
We loved this bad-boy when it was on cassette - here's what we said back then: "We absolutely loved Brotman and Short's best-of list topping "Heights" LP from last year (so much so that we've continually restocked it to present day). So you know we couldn't be more stoked to present their follow-up tape "Distance Unknown". We previously touted "Heights" as a really catchy, minimal, dark and dingy-basement groovy record that sounds authentically 80s, yet, like any good pop record should, completely timeless. Unlike many of the folks aping the genre's forefathers, Brotman and Short keep it simple and concise, at times sounding a bit like a more minimal, less angry Pop. 1280 on a heavy Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, and Tuxedomoon (John) Bender (get it? Bender?). There's no hint of cheesiness (sometimes a distracting factor on other records in the genre) at all, just dark, minimal, synthetic drums and key waves with the blasé vocal mixed just right. The same can be said about this new tape. Fresh jams, with a few more dancefloor friendly moments, but all in all, a killer continuation of the B&S sound that we can't get enough of. Ten possibly posthumous and positively potable analogically RECOMMENDED jazz-funk greats…" YEP - we still agree with every word. Recommended back then, and (now that it's on wax) RECOMMENDED even MORE. But act fast - it's limited to 300 copies that are liable to disappear faster than you could say "synthesizer"!
