How to Eat Sea Cucumber
This blog focuses on how to eat sea cucumber.
Sea Cucumber, although sounds more like sea vegetable, is actually a marine animal that is basically related to starfish family. It looks very similar to large caterpillar or even like a cucumber vegetable. Mainly used in Asian cooking, this delicious seafood has a similar flavor like clam. The process of cooking and eating sea cucumber is very easy. It is usually soaked in clean and dehydrated water before actually using in the recipe. Dried sea cucumber is also available widely in Asian supermarkets and fish stores. Below are some instructions on eating and cooking sea cucumber properly.
Cook & Eat Sea Cucumber Properly
1. Start by taking a large pot and placing the dried sea cucumber. Fill the pot completely using cold water and cover the lid of the pot. Let the sea cucumbers soak for about 12 hours.
2. Now, heat the pot on low flame after soaking the seafood in the cold water. Simmer the flame for 1 to 2 hours. Also, keep checking the water periodically to prevent from falling below the top of the sea cucumber. You can even add some more water in case required.
3. After that, remove the pot from the heat and allow the water to cool. It is very important to let the water cool down before draining all the sea cucumber from it.
4. Cut the sea cucumber into thick pieces of 1-inch and then stir-fry. You can use a wok or a frying pan for this purpose. Also, fry the sea cucumber over medium-high heat with very little or even no oil. Pour in 2 cups of stock and add some ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, sesame oil and a little sugar to prepare a sauce. Simmer the mixture for about 30 to 45 minutes or until the sea cucumber. Lastly, add corn starch to thicken the sauce prior to serving, if required.
Tips & Warnings For Eating Sea Cucumber
1. It is always better to include some vegetables like mushrooms, shredded cabbage or pea pods to the wok while frying.
2. Secondly, you can utilize some sauces while cooking the sea cucumber. This is very important to make sure that the liquid content such as stock is enough for simmering the seafood.
3. Never ever think of skipping or reducing the soaking time of the sea cucumber, because this might leave the marine animal more tough and tight. In order to skip the soak, buy only fresh and cleaned sea cucumber. Also make sure that you use these immediately.
Now when you have learned how to eat sea cucumber, it is high time to try making this sea food delicacy at your kitchen at least once.

Simon Cowell has reportedly named Paula Abdul, British singer Cheryl Cole as the judges he plans to have sitting beside the already-announced L.A. Reid for the U.S. "X Factor" that starts in the fall, according to Deadline.
The interview says that while Cowell has "made up his mind" to work with Paula and Cheryl, Abdul's deal "hasn't even started" and that Cole's deal "isn't quite done yet." But insiders tell Deadline that Cole will be announced within a week.
In response to question about whether former U.K. "X factor" judge Cole can gel with U.S. audiences, Cowell responds, "I never think about it as an American or British
audience … And with Cheryl, when I hired her initially,
I'd only met her literally once when I offered her the job on [British] 'X Factor.'
I thought she was bright, cute, knew what she was talking about,
ambitious. And you meet someone special a few times in your life.. And
this girl is special. She's just got a great ability to communicate.
Shes a great judge. She's smart. It's just a hunch. If people take to
her like the British public did, I think she's going to do really well
in America. And Fox was desperate to hire her."
And he says of the choice to work with Paula Abdul again: "I've always wanted Paula. Always been
very vocal about that. I missed her the second she left the show. Always
loved working with her even though she can be a pain. And I've been
consistent about this. I don't know what it is about her, but I've
always clicked with her. You just have to get that chemistry, and she's
right. I've never found anyone better than her."
What do you think, Zap2it readers? Are you happy with the choices?

BARCELONA, Spain — Working up a sweat may be even better than angioplasty for some heart patients, experts say.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Studies have shown heart patients benefit from exercise, and some have even shown it works better than surgical procedures. At a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology on Sunday, several experts said doctors should focus more on persuading their patients to exercise rather than simply doing angioplasties.
Angioplasty is the top treatment for people having a heart attack or hospitalized with worsening symptoms. It involves using a tiny balloon to flatten a blockage and propping the heart artery open with a mesh tube called a stent. Most angioplasties are done on a nonemergency basis, to relieve chest pain caused by clogged arteries cutting off the heart's blood supply.
"It's difficult to convince people to exercise instead of having an angioplasty, but it works," said Rainer Hambrecht of Klinikum Links der Weser in Bremen, Germany.
Hambrecht published a study in 2004 that found that nearly 90 percent of heart patients who rode bikes regularly were free of heart problems one year after they started their exercise regimen. Among patients who had an angioplasty instead, only 70 percent were problem-free after a year.
Hambrecht is now conducting a similar trial, which he expects to confirm his initial findings: that for some heart patients, exercise is more effective than a surgical procedure.
Other experts agreed that would likely be the case.
An angioplasty "only opens up one vessel blockage," said Dr. Christopher Cannon, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard University and spokesman for the American College of Cardiology. He was not linked to Hambrecht's research. "Exercise does a lot more than fixing one little problem."
Among other benefits, exercise lowers bad cholesterol while raising good cholesterol, helps the body process sugar better, improves the lining of the blood vessels and gets rid of waste material faster. Exercise also lowers blood pressure and prevents plaque buildup in the arteries.
Previous research has estimated one third of heart disease and stroke could be prevented if patients did two-and-a-half hours of brisk walking every week. In the U.S., that would mean 280,000 fewer heart-related deaths every year.
Joep Perk, a professor of health sciences at Sweden's Kalmar University and spokesman for the European Society of Cardiology, said two thirds of heart patients in line for an angioplasty could probably get better benefits by regularly working up a sweat.
Experts say less than 20 percent of heart patients get the recommended amount of exercise — about 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week.
Perk said doctors who performed angioplasties on their patients without asking them to change their lifestyles were ignoring the fundamental problem. "It would be like getting rid of the most troubled rust spots on a car without doing anything to stop more rust from appearing tomorrow."
Still, doctors admitted that persuading patients to exercise instead of simply going in for an angioplasty, which can take less than a day, would be a tough sell.
"Most patients want the quick fix," Cannon said. Exercise may improve patients' hearts better than an angioplasty, but it may also take months or even longer for patients to feel the benefits. "It's a lot easier to get your artery fixed than it is to exercise every day."

There are 2 parts to word practice:
Start with drill practice in order to teach your child how to say M correctly in words. Make sure to target M in the initial, medial, and final position.
Once your child can name or repeat most words correctly, move down to the Flashcard Games at the bottom of the page.
Have Fun Practicing!
Drill practice is exactly what is sounds like….drill practice. It is the time to practice, practice, and then practice some more. Now is also the time to experiment with which tactile, verbal, and/or visual cues work best for your child. Since, most likely, your child is young, drill practice needs to be short and possibly play based.
Materials: You have 4 options
Please print or make materials now
How To Practice:
If your child is not repeating words, give him or her 3 tries max. Don't refuse to continue your drills unless he or she says a word. This will only cause frustration.
Practicing the M sound during games is an important step for carryover of progress. Your child has to remember to say their newly learned way of saying M while being slightly distracted by a game. The distraction encourages your child to move their new motor habit to their automatic/procedural memory (this is the end goal after all!)
Materials: You have 2 options. If your child can't read, I suggest the pictured cards.
Please print out the cards you would like to use or make your own! If your decide to print, I suggest printing with a thicker construction paper if possible.
How To Practice: You will use your flashcards in a variety of different card games. Each game is very simple. The most important thing to remember is that you are there to get in as many repetitions of the M words as possible. The rules do not necessarily matter. I encourage you to invent your own as you go!
Materials: Flashcards
How to Play: Lay all the flashcards on the table face down. Take turns with your child turning over 2 cards at a time. SAY THE WORD ON THE CARD WITH EACH TURN. This is where you will get your speech therapy practice after all. During a turn, if a player finds a match, he or she keeps it and gets another turn. The person with the most matches win.
Materials: Flashcards and a Flashlight
How to Play: Tape the flashcards to a wall, preferably a small room like a bedroom or a bathroom. Make sure the tape won't take off the paint first!
Then, turn off the lights. Have fun shinning the flashlight on the wall to find your taped up flashcards. Name the pictures as you find them.
Materials: Flashcards and a Coin
How to Play: Turn over all the flashcards on a table. Under one card, hide a prize. This could be a piece of paper, sticker, or coin. Have your child turn over each card, one by one, in order to find the prize. SAY THE NAME OF THE CARD with each turn.
Materials: Flashcards
How to Play: Place the cards on the floor and have your child step on each one. As he or she steps on the card, have your child say the word. That's it! It is a simple and quick game, but yet very motivating for many children.
Materials: Flashcards
How to Play: Crumple each flashcard into a ball. Next, throw a "ball" to your child. Have your child catch it, open it, and say the word. Take turns crumpling and throwing. It is important for adults to take turns as well since we model the correct production.
Materials: Flashcards and Bean Bags
How to Play: Place cards on the ground face up. Take turns tossing bean bags at the cards and see which one you can hit. Once a card is hit, the player must name the card with a good M sound.
Materials: Flashcards
How to Play: Place flashcards on the ground and space them out. Tell your child that each card is a pretend rock in a shallow pond. Everyone has to jump from card to card while being careful not to get wet, wink wink ;) Make sure to name the card that you jump on and have your child do the same.
Materials: Flashcards
How to Play: Hide the cards around a room while your child counts to 20. When time is up, your child has to find the cards and name them as he or she discovers them.
Materials: Flashcards and Toy Cars
How to Play: Get on the floor with your child. Place flaschcards face up on the floor. Push cars towards the cards. When a car hits a card, the player must name it and keep it. The one with the most cards wins. If you use your imagination, there are many different ways to play this one!
Materials: Flashcards and Envelopes
How to Play: Name the cards as you place them in an envelope. Each card gets its own envelope. Place the envelope in a real mailbox or on the floor. Then, you can even take turns "getting" and "opening" the mail! Name the cards as you pull them out of their envelopes.

Judge Jeanine spoke with former Governor Mike Huckabee about the Republican presidential debate. I don't understand why anyone cares what the Governor thinks. He references his Christianity often, but actions speak louder than words.
David Huckabee, son of the former Governor, and a friend reportedly tortured and killed a stray dog. He was working as a Boy Scout camp counselor at the time. He was fired for killing the dog because he violated Scout law, "A Scout is kind."
It has been reported that Governor Huckabee tried to use his influence to make the charges go away. Newsweek quotes I.C. Smith, former FBI chief in Little Rock "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son." Though the prosecuting attorney asked for an investigation the state police wouldn't investigate or file charges.
Mike Huckabee had said,"My son was a minor at the time. It was not a criminal issue." His son was two weeks away from becoming an adult. The fact he can say torturing and killing a dog isn't a crime sickens me. Rumors were that David had slit the dogs throat, hung it and then stoned it to death.
The boys have claimed the dog looked mangy and emaciated. I have been involved in animal rescue my entire adult life and have had a dog with mange; a few weeks of medicine cured her. I currently have an emaciated dog that is missing a lot of hair from a flea allergy. Though she is so emaciated, I can't believe she's still alive, the vet says she expects the dog to make a full recovery. Help not torture is what a sick dog needs.
Now, had Governor Huckabee put his son in intensive psychotherapy, I could forgive him. But saying abusing a dog isn't a crime is sick and arrogant. The Bible even says we are to care for our pets. As a Christian he should know better. Proverbs 12:10 "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."
Studies have shown that people who abuse animals will hurt humans. Serial killers have a history of animal abuse. I'm not saying David Huckabee will become a serial killer, I am saying his father is a disgrace. This was given very little publicity when it occurred more than 10 years ago. The Huckabee supporters I know were stunned by the story and couldn't believe they'd never heard about it. It's a story I feel should be told.
Justice with Judge Jeanine is on every Saturday at 9:00 p.m. EST on Fox News Channel. You can follow Judge Jeanine on Twitter and Facebook.

As student leaders of The University of Mississippi, we want to respond to the incidents that occurred on our campus last Tuesday night. The hateful, small-minded actions committed by some students are unacceptable and embarrassing; they have tarnished the reputation of the university we love so dearly.
This year was special as we celebrated the University's 50th year of integration. We've made substantial strides in race relations since 1962; however, after the re-election of President Barack Obama, a small group of students took to campus streets playing "Dixie," shouting, "The South will rise again," and screaming racial slurs at their fellow students. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable on The University of Mississippi's campus, and it flies in the face of the university creed. Every single student on our campus pledges to uphold the values of the creed at orientation--including respect for the dignity of each person, and treating others with fairness and civility. And it is every student's responsibility to hold each another accountable for living a life that embraces the tenets of the creed.
We've made progress as a community and as a university since James Meredith bravely integrated our institution, but election night reminded us we still have a long way to go. The University of Mississippi is not a perfect place--we must not be complacent. We cannot settle for the status quo or think we've come far enough. That type of mentality is the reason inequality, injustice and prejudice still exist--and to move forward, we need to have meaningful dialog with one another, face-to-face, not by tweets or text or Facebook. ... Long gone should be the days of self-segregation, of exclusion, of hateful words and of ostracizing someone for being different.
To students who believe what happened is somehow acceptable, and to those who partook in hateful speech: you are not welcome at The University of Mississippi. We do not want you here. Our campus is not a safe haven for hate.
The University of Mississippi is a campus for all who follow the principles of our creed. We have our work cut out for us, but we're ready for the challenge to keep progressing as a student body and as an institution. We are dedicated to fostering and honoring the university creed not just on campus, but also as representatives for The University of Mississippi around the state, the nation, and the world.

By Don Lee Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON – New jobless claims last week fell much more sharply than expected, a reassuring sign that the damaging effects from Hurricane Sandy to the labor market have largely passed.
The Labor Department said Thursday that 370,000 people filed initial claims for unemployment insurance in the week ended Saturday, down from a revised 395,000 in the prior week. The latest claims number was just about the weekly average for the 10 weeks prior to the storms.
The Labor Department on Friday will issue its jobs report for November, and that is expected to reflect the disruption to commerce and temporary loss of work after the storm knocked out power and caused severe damage in the Northeast, particularly New York and New Jersey.
The economy added 171,000 new jobs in October, according to the Labor Department, but analysts are forecasting a number closer to 100,000 for November because of Hurricane Sandy. A report earlier this week by payroll processor Automatic Data Processing Inc. estimated that Hurricane Sandy shaved 86,000 private-sector jobs in November, likely resulting in growth of 118,000 payrolls at private employers for the month.
New jobless claims, which are an indicator of layoffs and labor market trends, had spiked to 451,000 in the first full week of November in the wake of the storms. The latest tally marked the third straight weekly decline and a near-complete reversal of the 90,000 jump in the week after the storms.

Kind of Freaking..
I've set up rides to and from baseball, school and birthday parties. I've washed laundry for the family as well as my running jacket, gloves, hats, gaitors, etc. It's nice to put on freshly laundered clothing during a race. Anything to give a little lift!
I've mixed up another batch of my foot potion. If you haven't read here long you may not know of my blister problem. Oooohhh..real horrific.
While running McNaughton last year I had the worst blisters ever. As blisters were popping new blisters were forming. It was awful. I asked the other 100 milers how in the world did they take care of their feet? Beth Simpson shared a recipe with me: 4 oz vaseline, 4 oz A&D, 4 oz aloe vera, 4 oz vitamin E, 4 oz Desitin. Oh yeah. It works. I slather on a layer each 25 miles or so and have only had a few blisters since. It will be interesting to see how my feet hold up at McNaughton. The course has river crossings and lots of sand as you exit the river. It tears my feet up.
I have charged up my iPod, as well as Tyler's iPod. We have the same music and I'm not sure how long my battery will last. He's offered his to me for the weekend. What a guy. I've charged my camera, have to have pictures!
I'm packing long pants, long sleeved shirts, short sleeved shirts, shorts, two pair of shoes. I am wearing Inov 8 Roclites. I have a size 10 and 11 to bring along.
I don't think I'll get to wear shorts. The forecast is still a high of 45 with rain/snow and high winds. Low of 29 during the night. Brrr. But crossing the rivers in pants will feel gross. I suppose I can unzip the legs and roll up over my knees to keep them dry.
I'm riding with my friend, Marie Barton, who is running the 50 mile. She ran the 30 at McNaughton last year. I'll head over to her place in the morning and we'll be on our way.
Goal: PR of 25-26 hours. 2005: 29:07 2006: 27:37
Woohoo! Over and Out..

Julie - I was praying for you over the weekend! I prayed early Saturday morning when you were maybe two hours in - Sunday morning as soon as my eyes opened I was supposed to pray for you but forgot! So I asked God, the Master of Time and the Universe, to take my positive prayers "backwards" to you when you were running through the night and over the rivers! Can't wait to hear how you did!

Like the original, the Intelligence Toilet II takes all kinds of readings from your urine, which are then organized into Wii Fit style charts and graphs on your PC via Wi-Fi. It's unclear what all is new aside from the aforementioned temperature monitoring, which can help women keep track of their menstruation cycles, but if you're going to import a crazy Japanese toilet, this is clearly the one.

My sister gave me this fabric 2 years ago for my birthday and I finally decided to make it into a summer skirt.
The pattern is a Knip Mode pattern – August 2012, model 13 – which was very easy to follow.
The skirt has 6 pleats front and back.
I topstiched the seam, the pockets and the waistband with double thread to make them more prominent.

Wednesday the Patriots returned to work to get ready for the Colts this Sunday, and as usual it was a busy day for the media as this match-up will likely get the most attention for the rest of the week.
Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald has an article this morning on how the Patriots will once again have to deal with Peyton Manning. Manning has gotten the better of Tom Brady and company in recent years, although he wouldn't admit that he's got a "handle" on Bill Belichick's defensive schemes.
"Those are your words and not mine. I don't think I have a handle on any defenses," Manning said when the obvious was stated in question form. "Like I said, every game takes on its own identity. Certainly, if you ask about a certain year, there have been certain times where our offense has executed better than in years past. It's really hard to summarize them all, put them into one. And I've never admitted to having a handle on anything."
The Boston Globe reports that the Patriots re-signed linebacker Pierre Woods yesterday, just one day after waiving Shawn Crable. Woods had been staying in shape and working as a groundskeeper at the University of Michigan since being cut back in September, and is excited to be back.
"Feels great to be back,'' Woods said. "Feels real good to be back. I'm real excited. Been in Michigan, working and working out. To be back is a blessing. Ready to go.''
Ian Rapoport of the Herald also writes that Woods stopped checking the waiver wire after a while and since he didn't have cable television at home, he evenntually quit keeping track of which teams needed linebackers. So he continued to work out, stay in shape, and wait for his opportunity.
Meanwhile the other news yesterday was the fact that Brady sat out of Wednesday's practice session to likely give his ailing foot another day to heal. Mike Reiss has more on the story and reports that Brady said he's "doing well" and "looking forward to the game this weekend".
The Boston Globe has a piece from Howard Ulman of the Associated Press on past match-ups between New England and Indianapolis, and summarizes each of the past match-ups since Brady and Manning started battling it out beginning in 2001.
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com breaks down each position group for both sides and gives who he feels has the edge – and he believes the Patriots have too much talent for this banged up Colts team.
Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star was on Dennis & Callahan this morning and said during the interview that to this point the Colts are just trying to "hold on" after dealing with a lot of injuries.
"I think there's a feeling, especially around here, that this team is just trying to hold on for dear life until guys come back and are healthy," Kravitz said. "I think people around here are sort of ready to take their lumps against New England and just hope they can hang on long enough to get some guys back and make a run at the playoffs."
We'll have more from Kravitz later on, as he joined us for "Five Questions" with Russ Goldman that you'll see later this morning.
Phil Richards of the Indianapolis Star writes that the Colts are wary of Brandon Tate in the kickoff return game, with head coach Jim Caldwell talking about him yesterday.
"Fast, explosive, good hands and he does a number of things well, not just from scrimmage but also in the kick return game as well," Caldwell said. "He's a very dangerous kickoff return man."
Jeff Howe of NESN has a piece this morning on Brady, who said yesterday he's not interested in being the NFL MVP, since history has pointed out that those guys don't generally end up with a ring by the time the season is over.
Greg Bedard of the Globe has a piece this morning on the rivalry between the two teams and feels it's wrong to pit this game as "Brady vs. Manning", and Manning said as much during an interview yesterday.
"I can't speak for Tom, but I think he would certainly see it the same way I do,'' Manning said. "I still see it as team vs. team. Basketball, maybe there is a little more — even though it's a team sport — maybe there's a little more one-on-one to it because there are just five guys out there. Football still is the ultimate team sport.''
Mark Farinella of the Attleboro Sun Chronicle writes that there's nothing new between these two teams, and Brady actually talked about his first ever start against the Colts back in the old RCA Dome yesterday, and was surprised Manning actually knew who he was.
"That was the old stadium," he said. "You'll never forget the first time you started a game in the NFL. I remember meeting Peyton (Manning) before the game, I was surprised he knew me, as a matter of fact. He said, 'Hi Tom. I'm Peyton,' as he was out there warming up, which I thought was pretty cool."
Tom Curran has an article this morning for NECN and feels that as much as they try and downplay it, this one Sunday – as usual – will be big for both teams.
Think the Colts don't mean anything to Brady? Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald writes that Brady keeps an eye on the Colts to see how Manning is playing. He also expects this to be a high scoring game.
"It's not going to be a 7-3 game," said Brady, whose team leads the NFL in scoring with 28.7 points per game. "You know they have offensive firepower. We've proven we can move the ball against these guys, and they don't mind giving up yards, they don't want to give up points. They're not going to give you anything."
And finally the Patriot Ledger has yesterday's Q & A with head coach Bill Belichick for anyone who may have missed it, as well as Brady's – which can be found here.
That's it for now. As I said we'll have our Q & A with Bob Kravitz in a bit, along with a couple of other features – so keep an eye on the front page of PatsFans.com for when they become available.

LOTR Blu-Ray Trilogy Extended Edition is on sale at Amazon for $50 now.
I would buy it but the extra features are on DVDs and they're Region 1 apparently so I can't play them
Is the price just going down or is it a temporary sale?
It was a sale, yeah. The price has gone back up to the $70 price
100% of Dwarves are CGI.
99% of Gandalfs are high as shit.
Just get a region 2 version?
LoTR extended Box-Set is the Bethesda RPG of DVD's The value is sky high. 11.5 hours of film + 27 hours of "Making of" material. Holy shit son! You're lucky when you get more than 30 minutes of that. One thing i always grudged the Harry Potter DVD's for... and any other.
Seriously, the Extra Material is what should entice buyers, otherwise they can just Download it or watch it once in Cinemas.
And i'm a greight-train gone off track. Sorry.
Damn it. Oh well, it'll probably go down permenantly in a few months.
Listening through the music from LotR.
And I'm extremely glad Howard Shore is making the score for "The Hobbit".
About time, Mr.Jackson:http://www.facebook.com/PeterJackson...50696869041558
Expect it in a couple of hours.
It's been so long :(
Don't know why it's taking so long :/ Last one was released like 4 hours after the announcement.
With each production video I just get more and more hyped. I can't wait.
The first picture is from post-production back in late 2010/early 2011.
Ugh, took me over 30 minutes to buffer the video in HD, then I press fullscreen and my browser freeze, resulting in having to buffer over again >:(
Youtube version
I wonder if it's the Lonely mountain at 03:23
hahahaha the part with bombur in the barrel!
Didn't know they used a mask for Bilbo, haven't been following the movie to closely so thought the actor looked like that.
fat jackson = win
he was fat when he raped the academy awards with ROTK, so we're in a good direction
That's just his scale double. As in when they're far out in the wilderness doing helicopter shots there's no point in bringing the actors for only to see their backs from a distance. Thus they dress up people with the same physical builds as the actors, which saves time and is much cheaper.
Jackson was thinner when they're filming for Part 2 at the VERY start of that video.
All the location running about did him some good.
I just fucking love that he uses real locations for his movies instead of 100% green screen.
not to say that there isn't a shitload of greenscreen in his movies
I was surprised to see that the background in that Gollum LotR scene was bluescreened.
You have no idea just how much is Greenscreened. All of Pelenor fields is virtual say for grass 5 meters ahead of the cam.
Same for all of the effect shots really.
pretty much all of mirkwood and trollshaw will be green screen. there is a lot of location shooting but there's probably just as much green screen / studio stuff
Most of Trollshaw was filmed on location. Even the cave.
I'm pretty sure that's mostly because hes got a HUGE budget, shooting in real locations is much more
expansive than just shooting in a studio.
But with the bigger budget he could of made the movie even longer in all CGI but he chose real places instead.
..and if he didn't have such a big budget he would have used only studio shooting, so my point
here is that he uses real locations mostly because he can afford it, and not because of some sort
of an artistic choice.
Somehow even the CGI in these movies looks better than almost anything else, I mean compare the Helm's Deep Battle in The Two Towers to the climactic battle in Attack of the Clones - the latter looks plastic and fake as hell, the former is utterly convincing. To say nothing of Gollum, still the most effective CGI character I've ever seen, despite the films being ten years old.
The CGI in the Fellowship of the Ring is amazing even today.
I would kill to work on that set.
Well. The watcher's obvious CGI due to the bad water and the troll has some unlucky shading. The balrog is a master piece and the other two movies don't really have any give-aways say from low-res textures in the skies that the cam pans up to at the end of TTT. This is only visible on the Blu-Ray ed. though and i've only noticed it once.
Really. Those effects are good when considering ho butt-ugly other huge films were at the time.
Yeah your right, i dont know what im talking about
I wonder if Smaug will have a British accent.
Considering the voice actor is Benedict Cumberpatch
plenty of green screen and studio shoots here. 6:15 is some troll shaw. ill take your word for it though that the majority of it was on location (put they even put greenscreens up at locations)
Ya, the nightscene with the trolls was in the studio, but one of the set reports show the forest they used for the daytime scenes.
They had built a fake cave but Jackson didn't like it so they found a real one instead.
Really looking forward to this film.
Also, I'm sure Benedict Cumberbatch is a shoo-in for the Oscar for Most British Name Ever.
Holy shit he is getting so fat. I still love him.
Don't turn this into EP3 with fat jokes.

Routledge, 26, has returned to the club he left in January last year, when he signed for the Magpies, and is expected to play a major role in the push for promotion to the Barclays Premier League.
Routledge has made 36 appearances to date for Newcastle, but has played a peripheral role in recent weeks.
"I think Wayne just needs an arm around him," said QPR boss Neil Warnock. "He is a super lad and a super player."
Thirty-one-year-old Frenchman Chimbonda was released by Blackburn this week and Warnock moved swiftly to add him to the Loftus Road ranks, on a contract running for the rest of the campaign.
Chimbonda told www.qpr.co.uk: "This is a good opportunity for me to be re-born as a footballer. Neil Warnock has given me a chance here and hopefully I can help QPR win promotion to the Premier League.
"I had a good talk with the manager, and he told me he wants me to come here and give my best. He is a manager who likes to win, and I am the same."

It's been a rough few days around here.
My husband spent the weekend running Ragnar FL Keys (on an ULTRA) team and woke up feeling pretty terrible on Sunday morning. I figured he was probably just dehydrated and worn out after running almost 20 miles.
Well…seems like it was more than that. Apparently he brought a stomach virus back with him from the Keys.
The poor Mini Athlete woke up Tuesday morning with vomit all over and around him. First time in his entire life he has ever thrown up. I'm sure it must have been rather traumatic!
He then proceeded to throw up at least 12 more times that day. We took him to the doctor to make sure he wasn't too dehydrated (he wasn't) and they told us to just let it run its course. There were lots of snuggles and cartoons over the next 24 hours.
I'm happy to report that he was back to his normal happy self today…
I sure did miss that little smile. 🙂
I had ever intention of running yesterday, but taking care of the Mini Athlete obviously took precedence. Here's to hoping I'll get a run in tomorrow – but if all else fails, I'll be running with the Island Running Club on Saturday! See? Told you that accountability thing is strong motivation for me!
Have you ever taken care of a sick child? The worst part is the fact that we couldn't explain to him what was going on and he couldn't tell us how he was feeling. 🙁

text: Ten Little Indians, the classic mystery by Agatha Christie, is again adapted, with enjoyable results. The setting of the now familiar mystery is moved to Africa, where the ten guests of a mysterious host are killed one by one as they travel on safari. None of the guests, played with great fun by a cast including Donald Pleasence, Brenda Vaccaro, Frank Stallone and Herbert Lom, know why they have been invited, but as they begin to be murdered, one by one, they fear for their safety and begin to suspect each other. The ending of this wonderful mystery should never be divulged, and the story remains surprisingly fresh despite its many adaptations. This film, while only average, remains highly enjoyable because of the charm and surprise of Christie's wonderful plot and great surprise ending. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

First Albany Keeps 'Buy' on Xoma
First Albany reiterates buy on Xoma (XOMA ).
Analyst David Webber says an FDA advisory committee gave a positive review of Raptiva for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. He believes the committee's unanimous vote for approval supports the likelihood Raptiva will be approved on or before the Oct. 27, 2003 FDA action date, with a cautionary but not harmful label.
Webber says the implications the of panel discussion are in line with his estimate that Raptiva will gain a 15% to 20% share of the market for biological treatments for psoriasis in 2007, translating into $600 million in expected sales that year. He upped his $9 target to $10.

"Thought and being are the same"[1] The truth–appearance distinction |
Parmenides of Elea (; Greek: Παρμενίδης ὁ Ἐλεάτης; fl. late sixth or early fifth century BCE) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from Elea in Magna Graecia. He was the founder of the Eleatic school of philosophy. The single known work of Parmenides is a poem, On Nature, which has survived only in fragmentary form. In this poem, Parmenides describes two views of reality. In "the way of truth" (a part of the poem), he explains how reality (coined as "what-is") is one, change is impossible, and existence is timeless, uniform, necessary, and unchanging. In "the way of opinion," he explains the world of appearances, in which one's sensory faculties lead to conceptions which are false and deceitful. These ideas had a strong effect on Plato, and in turn, influenced the whole of Western philosophy.
Parmenides was born in the Greek colony of Elea (now Ascea), which, according to Herodotus,[2] had been founded shortly before 535 BCE. He was descended from a wealthy and illustrious family.[3] His dates are uncertain; according to Diogenes Laërtius, he flourished just before 500 BCE,[4] which would put his year of birth near 540 BCE, but Plato has him visiting Athens at the age of 65, when Socrates was a young man, c. 450 BCE,[5] which, if true, suggests a year of birth of c. 515 BCE. He was said to have been a pupil of Xenophanes,[6] and regardless of whether they actually knew each other, Xenophanes' philosophy is the most obvious influence on Parmenides.[7] Diogenes Laërtius also describes Parmenides as a disciple of "Ameinias, son of Diochaites, the Pythagorean"; but there are no obvious Pythagorean elements in his thought. The first hero cult of a philosopher we know of was Parmenides' dedication of a heroon to his teacher Ameinias in Elea.[8] Parmenides was the founder of the School of Elea, which also included Zeno of Elea and Melissus of Samos. Of his life in Elea, it was said that he had written the laws of the city.[9] His most important pupil was Zeno, who according to Plato was twenty-five years his junior, and was regarded as his eromenos.[10] Parmenides had a large influence on Plato, who not only named a dialogue, Parmenides, after him, but always spoke of him with veneration.[11]
On Nature
Parmenides is one of the most significant of the pre-Socratic philosophers.[12] His only known work, conventionally titled On Nature, is a poem which has only survived in fragmentary form. Approximately 160 lines of the poem remain today; reportedly the original text had 3,000 lines. It is known, however, that the work was originally divided into three parts:
- A proem (Greek: προοίμιον), which introduced the entire work,
- A section known as "The Way of Truth" (aletheia, ἀλήθεια), and
- A section known as "The Way of Appearance/Opinion" (doxa, δόξα).
The proem is a narrative sequence in which the narrator travels "beyond the beaten paths of mortal men" to receive a revelation from an unnamed goddess (generally thought to be Persephone or Dike) on the nature of reality. Aletheia, an estimated 90% of which has survived, and doxa, most of which no longer exists, are then presented as the spoken revelation of the goddess without any accompanying narrative.
Parmenides attempted to distinguish between the unity of nature and its variety, insisting in the Way of Truth upon the reality of its unity, which is therefore the object of knowledge, and upon the unreality of its variety, which is therefore the object, not of knowledge, but of opinion. In the Way of Opinion he propounded a theory of the world of seeming and its development, pointing out, however, that, in accordance with the principles already laid down, these cosmological speculations do not pretend to anything more than mere appearance.
In the proem, Parmenides describes the journey of a young man from light to the "halls of Night" ("the daughters of the Sun made haste to escort me, having left the halls of Night for the light").[13] Carried in a whirling chariot, and attended by the daughters of the Sun, the man reaches a temple sacred to an unnamed goddess (variously identified by the commentators as Nature, Wisdom, or Themis), by whom the rest of the poem is spoken. He must learn all things, she tells him—both truth, which is certain, and human opinions, which are uncertain—for though one cannot rely on human opinions, they represent an aspect of the whole truth.
The Way of Truth
The section known as "the way of truth" discusses that which is real and contrasts with the argument in the section called "the way of opinion," which discusses that which is illusory. Under the "way of truth," Parmenides stated that there are two ways of inquiry: that it is, on the one side, and that it is not.[14] on the other side. He said that the latter argument is never feasible because nothing can not be:
- For never shall this prevail, that things that are not are. (B 7.1)
There are extremely delicate issues here. In the original Greek the two ways are simply named "that Is" (ὅπως ἐστίν) and "that Not-Is" (ὡς οὐκ ἐστίν) (B 2.3 and 2.5) without the "it" inserted in our English translation. In ancient Greek, which, like many languages in the world, does not always require the presence of a subject for a verb, "is" functions as a grammatically complete sentence. Much debate has been focused on where and what the subject is. The simplest explanation as to why there is no subject here is that Parmenides wishes to express the simple, bare fact of existence in his mystical experience without the ordinary distinctions, just as the Latin "pluit" and the Greek huei (ὕει "rains") mean "it rains"; there is no subject for these impersonal verbs because they express the simple fact of raining without specifying what is doing the raining. This is, for instance, Hermann Fränkel's thesis.[15] Many scholars still reject this explanation and have produced more complex metaphysical explanations. Since existence is an immediately intuited fact, non-existence is the wrong path because a thing cannot disappear, just as something cannot originate from nothing. In such mystical experience (unio mystica), however, the distinction between subject and object disappears along with the distinctions between objects, in addition to the fact that if nothing cannot be, it cannot be the object of thought either:
- Thinking and the thought that it is are the same; for you will not find thinking apart from what is, in relation to which it is uttered. (B 8.34–36)
- For to be aware and to be are the same. (B 3)
- It is necessary to speak and to think what is; for being is, but nothing is not. (B 6.1–2)
- Helplessness guides the wandering thought in their breasts; they are carried along deaf and blind alike, dazed, beasts without judgment, convinced that to be and not to be are the same and not the same, and that the road of all things is a backward-turning one. (B 6.5–9)
Thus, he concluded that "Is" could not have "come into being" because "nothing comes from nothing". Existence is necessarily eternal. That which truly is [x], has always been [x], and was never becoming [x]; that which is becoming [x] was never nothing (Not-[x]), but will never actually be. Parmenides was not struggling to formulate the laws of conservation of mass and conservation of energy; he was struggling with the metaphysics of change, which is still a relevant philosophical topic today.
Moreover he argued that movement was impossible because it requires moving into "the void", and Parmenides identified "the void" with nothing, and therefore (by definition) it does not exist. That which does exist is The Parmenidean One, which is timeless, uniform, and unchanging:
- How could what is perish? How could it have come to be? For if it came into being, it is not; nor is it if ever it is going to be. Thus coming into being is extinguished, and destruction unknown. (B 8.20–22)
- Nor was [it] once, nor will [it] be, since [it] is, now, all together, / One, continuous; for what coming-to-be of it will you seek? / In what way, whence, did [it] grow? Neither from what-is-not shall I allow / You to say or think; for it is not to be said or thought / That [it] is not. And what need could have impelled it to grow / Later or sooner, if it began from nothing? Thus [it] must either be completely or not at all. (B 8.5–11)
- [What exists] is now, all at once, one and continuous... Nor is it divisible, since it is all alike; nor is there any more or less of it in one place which might prevent it from holding together, but all is full of what is. (B 8.5–6, 8.22–24)
- And it is all one to me / Where I am to begin; for I shall return there again. (B 5)
Perception vs. Logos
Parmenides claimed that there is no truth in the opinions of the mortals. Genesis-and-destruction, as Parmenides emphasizes, is a false opinion, because to be means to be completely, once and for all. What exists can in no way not exist.
- For this view, that That Which Is Not exists, can never predominate. You must debar your thought from this way of search, nor let ordinary experience in its variety force you along this way, (namely, that of allowing) the eye, sightless as it is, and the ear, full of sound, and the tongue, to rule; but (you must) judge by means of the Reason (Logos) the much-contested proof which is expounded by me. (B 7.1–8.2)
The Way of Opinion (doxa)
After the exposition of the arche (ἀρχή), i.e. the origin, the necessary part of reality that is understood through reason or logos (that [it] Is), in the next section, the Way of Appearance/Opinion/Seeming, Parmenides proceeds to explain the structure of the becoming cosmos (which is an illusion, of course) that comes from this origin.
The structure of the cosmos is a fundamental binary principle that governs the manifestations of all the particulars: "the aether fire of flame" (B 8.56), which is gentle, mild, soft, thin and clear, and self-identical, and the other is "ignorant night", body thick and heavy.
- The mortals lay down and decided well to name two forms (i.e. the flaming light and obscure darkness of night), out of which it is necessary not to make one, and in this they are led astray. (B 8.53–4)
The structure of the cosmos then generated is recollected by Aetius (II, 7, 1):
For Parmenides says that there are circular bands wound round one upon the other, one made of the rare, the other of the dense; and others between these mixed of light and darkness. What surrounds them all is solid like a wall. Beneath it is a fiery band, and what is in the very middle of them all is solid, around which again is a fiery band. The most central of the mixed bands is for them all the origin and cause of motion and becoming, which he also calls steering goddess and keyholder and Justice and Necessity. The air has been separated off from the earth, vapourized by its more violent condensation, and the sun and the circle of the Milky Way are exhalations of fire. The moon is a mixture of both earth and fire. The aether lies around above all else, and beneath it is ranged that fiery part which we call heaven, beneath which are the regions around the earth.[16]
Interpretations of Parmenides
The traditional interpretation of Parmenides' work is that he argued that the every-day perception of reality of the physical world (as described in doxa) is mistaken, and that the reality of the world is 'One Being' (as described in aletheia): an unchanging, ungenerated, indestructible whole. Under the Way of Opinion, Parmenides set out a contrasting but more conventional view of the world, thereby becoming an early exponent of the duality of appearance and reality. For him and his pupils, the phenomena of movement and change are simply appearances of a static, eternal reality. This interpretation could settle because of various wrong translations of the fragments. For example, it is not at all clear that Parmenides refuted that which we call perception. The verb noein, used frequently by Parmenides, could better be translated as 'to be aware of' than as 'to think'. Furthermore, it is hard to believe that 'being' is only within our heads, according to Parmenides.
Parmenides' philosophy is presented in the form of poetry. The philosophy he argued was, he says, given to him by a goddess, though the "mythological" details in Parmenides' poem do not bear any close correspondence to anything known from traditional Greek mythology:
- Welcome, youth, who come attended by immortal charioteers and mares which bear you on your journey to our dwelling. For it is no evil fate that has set you to travel on this road, far from the beaten paths of men, but right and justice. It is meet that you learn all things — both the unshakable heart of well-rounded truth and the opinions of mortals in which there is not true belief. (B 1.24–30)
It is with respect to this religious/mystical context that recent generations of scholars such as Alexander P. Mourelatos, Charles H. Kahn, and the controversial Peter Kingsley have begun to call parts of the traditional, rational logical/philosophical interpretation of Parmenides into question (Kingsley in particular stating that Parmenides practiced iatromancy). It has been claimed that previous scholars placed too little emphasis on the apocalyptic context in which Parmenides frames his revelation. As a result, traditional interpretations have put Parmenidean philosophy into a more modern, metaphysical context to which it is not necessarily well suited, which has led to misunderstanding of the true meaning and intention of Parmenides' message. The obscurity and fragmentary state of the text, however, renders almost every claim that can be made about Parmenides extremely contentious, and the traditional interpretation has by no means been abandoned.
Parmenides' considerable influence on the thinking of Plato is undeniable, and in this respect Parmenides has influenced the whole history of Western philosophy, and is often seen as its grandfather. Even Plato himself, in the Sophist, refers to the work of "our Father Parmenides" as something to be taken very seriously and treated with respect. In the Parmenides, the Eleatic philosopher, which may well be Parmenides himself, and Socrates argue about dialectic. In the Theaetetus, Socrates says that Parmenides alone among the wise (Protagoras, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Epicharmus, and Homer) denied that everything is change and motion.
Parmenides is credited with a great deal of influence as the author of an "Eleatic challenge" that determined the course of subsequent philosophers' enquiries. For example, the ideas of Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Leucippus, and Democritus have been seen as in response to Parmenides' arguments and conclusions.[17]
Parmenides' influence on philosophy reaches up till present times. The Italian philosopher Emanuele Severino has founded his extended philosophical investigations on the words of Parmenides. His philosophy is sometimes called Neo Parmenideism, and can be understood as an attempt to build a bridge between the poem on truth and the poem on opinion.
Influence on the development of science
Parmenides made the ontological argument against nothingness, essentially denying the possible existence of a void. According to Aristotle, this led Democritus and Leucippus, and many other physicists,[18] to propose the atomic theory, which supposes that everything in the universe is either atoms or voids, specifically to contradict Parmenides' argument. Aristotle himself reasoned, in opposition to atomism, that in a complete vacuum, motion would encounter no resistance, and "no one could say why a thing once set in motion should stop anywhere; for why should it stop here rather than here? So that a thing will either be at rest or must be moved ad infinitum, unless something more powerful get in its way."[18] See also horror vacui.
Erwin Schrödinger identified Parmenides' monad of the "Way of Truth" as being the conscious self in "Nature and the Greeks".[19] The scientific implications of this view have been discussed by scientist Anthony Hyman.[20]
A shadow of Parmenides' ideas can be seen in the physical concept of Block time, which considers existence to consist of past, present, and future, and the flow of time to be illusory. In his critique of this idea, Karl Popper called Einstein "Parmenides".[21] However, Popper did write:So what was really new in Parmenides was his axiomatic-deductive method, which Leucippus and Democritus turned into a hypothetical-deductive method, and thus made part of scientific methodology.[22]

Random Div Background Images
I know absolutely no java and I am trying to set random background images in my masthead. I have been searching and trying all day and can't figure this out. I've pasted some of my code below, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

JavaScript != Java
You will do well to search out and post this in a JavaScript forum. Best of luck!
Huh... that looks like Javascript... which is NOT Java and this is a Java forum for developers. Maybe somebody here knows the answer, but I would suggest that you try a Javascript forum (you'd probably have beter luck getting an answer to your question).

Clegg Won't Rule Out Sending Sons to Fee-Paying High Schools
Kitty DonaldsonDeputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who says part of his role in government is to make society fairer, refused to rule out sending his three sons to private, fee-paying high schools.
Clegg was asked about his plans for his children's education after Prime Minister David Cameron, once a pupil at Eton, Britain's most famous fee-paying school for boys, said Jan. 18 he will send his eldest daughter Nancy to a state-run high school, citing improvements in London's educational record.
Clegg was also privately educated at London's Westminster School, yards from Parliament. His children with his Spanish wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez are called Antonio, Alberto and Miguel. Antonio, the eldest, will start high school this fall.
"My own view is we can, if it works out, we will send him to a good state school," Clegg told LBC radio today, refusing to rule out sending his son to a fee-paying institution. "Like all parents sending their children for secondary school in London there is huge competition for places."
In class-conscious Britain, the decision whether to send children to a fee-paying school is politically charged. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was criticized by some lawmakers when he was in office for sending his three eldest children to a state-funded school that selected applicants for entry.
Clegg said he doesn't want to make a political issue out of the education of his children. "I want the best for my child," he said.
Tempering Cuts
During the first of his weekly radio phone-in sessions on Jan. 10, Clegg emphasized that he entered a coalition with Cameron to fix Britain's economy. The Liberal Democrats argue that they temper Cameron's Tories' cuts to public services that would have hit the poorest the hardest.
"I'm actually immensely proud that facing one of the biggest economic crises that this government has seen in a generation, possibly in the post-war period, the Liberal Democrats took a big collective and brave decision to say right, we're going to step up to the plate, we're going to work in a coalition because no one won the general election and we're going to try and fix this mess, and we're going to try to fix this mess while also trying to make society fairer," Clegg said Jan. 10.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut Supreme Court will hear arguments in two lawsuits filed over a 2005 crash at the bottom of Avon Mountain that killed four people and injured 19 others.
Justices are scheduled to hear the cases Wednesday,
The widow of one of the victims who died and a survivor are suing the state Department of Transportation seeking money awards. They allege there were design flaws in Route 44 including a too-steep grade and inadequate warning signs.
A dump truck lost its brakes going down the 500-foot-tall hill and crashed into 19 vehicles at the bottom in Avon.
Lawyers for the state deny there were design flaws and argue the lawsuits should be dismissed because of government immunity.
The state added a runaway truck ramp and other improvements after the crash.

Vacherin, The Peignoir Cheese
I've wanted to try Vacherin Mont d'Or ever since I
first read Patricia Michelson's description of it in her book, The Cheese Room. She calls it a "melting sensation" and compares the texture to "the
folds of a satin peignoir." Read: nightie.
I was watching Mad Men at the time. I thought of Joan with her high, crimson hair and blousy
bedroom attire. When I imagined the taste of Vacherin, I envisioned something voluptuous
but repressed, delicate.
Oh, how wrong I was. Vacherin is a tiger. It may,
in fact, be the ultimate Mad Men-era
cheese because it comes in a box, like an engagement ring, and it's cinched at the waist
with a belt (made of bark). When you bake it, it turns to Jell-O pudding.
Vacherin is a seasonal cheese that hails from the
mountain range between Switzerland and France. It's ready in winter, and that's
because it's only made with autumn milk when the cows
come down from the Alps. The milk from these same cows -- in spring and summer -- is used to make Comté and Gruyere.
The name Vacherin
literally means "Golden Mountain."
Vacherin Fondue
Following Patricia Michelson's instructions, I baked this cheese in its balsa wood box. At 350 degrees, it took thirty minutes.
important to wrap the box in foil in case the melted cheese leaks out. After
the center warmed, I peeled back the top rind, swirled 2 tablespoons of
Sauvignon Blanc into the custardy softness, and served hot Vacherin with boiled
potatoes, pickled onions, and cornichons.
Unforgettable. Imagine a forest melting in your
mouth. A forest with nightgowns hanging like leaves from the branches. The taste is big -- mushrooms, sweet hay, night sweat -- and the texture is sumptuous. All you need is a salad with a vinegary dressing and a glass of Gewurztraminer.
Online, you can find Vacherin at Murray's and Artisanal. I purchased mine at the counter of Di Bruno Bros. If you're lucky enough to find Rush Creek, a raw-milk version of Vacherin made by Uplands Cheese in Wisconsin, you could try this same recipe.
This is a delightful supper for a winter Sunday. Change into your PJs as it bakes.
Cow's Milk,
Patricia Michelson,
