#1 Second deadly blast hits Russian city of Volgograd ahead of 2014 Sochi Olympics12-30-2013, 10:06 AM
By Jethro Mullen, CNN
updated 7:43 AM EST, Mon December 30, 2013
(CNN) -- Another deadly blast has struck the southern Russian city of Volgograd, killing at least 14 people and further highlighting Russia's security challenges as it readies to host the Winter Olympics in less than six weeks.
An explosion hit a trolleybus near a busy market during the morning rush hour Monday, a day after a blast at Volgograd's main train station killed 17 people and wounded at least 35 others.
Like Sunday's attack, the blast Monday was a terrorist act, Vladmir Markin, a spokesman for the country's federal investigation agency, told the state-run news agency RIA Novosti.
No one claimed responsibility for the explosions. But they come several months after the leader of a Chechen separatist group pledged violence to disrupt the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics
LINKMay the FORCE be with you!
Believe it or not Volgograd would be a place I'd like to visit. A lot of history was made there in 1942 when the city had a different name....Stalingrad.

Liberalism is what the stupid think is smart.
Vlad will soon be asking for Barry's help and hell will freeze over.
Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
I was thinking that Putin may be responsible for both blasts as a way
of clamping down and grabbing more power. How hard would it be for his
Secruity Forces to set up and supply the terrorists???
You know, kinda what the DUmmies always said Bu$h and Cheney did
with Katrina...May the FORCE be with you!

In his first foray into final-stage PGA Tour qualifying, Riversideâs Jeremiah Wooding was cool and comfortable, shooting an opening-round 3-under-par 69 on Wednesday at PGA West in La Quinta.
Wooding, a 24-year-old Riverside Poly graduate, is tied for 35th -- with a long way to go. There are five rounds lefts on the TPC Stadium Course and Nicklaus Tournament courses.
At the end, the top 25 will garner PGA Tour membership and the rest of the field will be eligible for Web.com Tour membership.
Temeculaâs John Chin and Murrietaâs Tom Pernice Jr. both shot 1-under on the Stadium Course and are tied for 82nd.
âItâs such a long week, itâs a marathon of golf,â said Wooding, who played his collegiately at UNLV. âYou just want to try to not have one shot rattle you this way or that way, to stay even-keel for six rounds -- which can be tough. But itâs what we work for, to be able to go out there and stay calm and play as if it was just any other day â" even though obviously today has got more on it than just any other day.â
At second-stage qualifying at Murrietaâs Bear Creek Golf Club, Wooding made the cut on the number. Now heâs five strokes behind Steve LeBrun, who shot 8-under, and one shot from cracking the top 20.
With his older brother, Joshua Wooding, on his bag, Jeremiah hit 16 greens and missed just two fairways on Wednesday.
âI felt really comfortable today,â Wooding said. âI didnât really have one shot that I felt as though it got away from me. âI tried to make every swing as stress free as I could and It was a really good ball-striking day in term of on-fairway, on-green, I just didnât get the putter going.
âBut if 3-under is the worst it gets for the week, Iâll be just fine.â
Temeculaâs Selanee Henderson shot 3-over-par 75 in the first round of play at final-stage LPGA Qualifying. Sheâs tied for 67th and seven shots behind the leaders at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla. Four rounds remain.
Those finishing in the top 40 will receive LPGA membership and players who finish outside the top 40 will receive 2013 Symetra Tour membership.
Henderson advanced past second-stage qualifying for the fourth time in October.

You can draft this guy in like the 14th round or pick him up as a free agent. I drafted Ben Tate in the 14th round last year.
I hope he does get overlooked, that way I can miss my draft again and still beat people silly. No one knows much about him, but he's had some incredible preseason runs in 2011 and a good senior season two years ago at Maryland.. He's almost as fast as C.J., but a little bigger.
I am going to take some hard looks at runningback this year. They destroyed me. Started with Johnson, Blount, and some other guy. It was terrible but I managed to make it to my championship game anyway.

Dying to get close to the stars of Fox's hit series "Glee," but couldn't get tickets to "Glee Live! In Concert" at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles? I have a tip for you: There's another way to see part of the cast live – Art4Life 4.
The annual evening of live art, music and dance – which was started by L.A. dancer and choreographer Gina Starbuck ("Wicked") as a tribute to her late father in 2007 – will take place May 31 at Level 3 night club, located on the third level of the Hollywood and Highland complex.
The night kicks off with a pre-show event hosted by "Secret Life of an American Teen" star Francia Raisi, who will lead a celebration of teen talent in the City of Angels.
Next up is a set by singer/songwriter John West, who will perform urban-acoustic jams from his latest EP Paper Plates.
You thought I'd forgotten about "Glee," didn't you? Nope.
Host for the main event is "Glee" queen of air-headedness, Heather Morris (Brittany), who will lead the rest of the evening's jam-packed entertainment schedule. Of course, since lots of surprise guests have dropped by in previous years to hang out – and even perform a little – the evening is certain to be filled with unexpected treats. (Hmm, did anyone else notice that Art4Life takes place the same day the "Glee" cast gets back to town from the "Glee Live!" tour?")
"I'm pretty sure my cat has been reading my diary..." (Heather Morris as Cheerio Brittany on "Glee")
Since no benefit would be complete without lots of goodies, silent auction items include dance classes with "Dancing with the Stars" pros Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya, autographed Adam Lambert and Debbie Reynolds memorabilia, a selection of NappyTabs hip-hop inspired urban dancewear designed by "So You Think You Can Dance" choreographers Napoleon and Tabitha D'umo, celebrity facials, haircuts, massages and tons of other great items.
Additional info on performers and items up for grabs is available at the event's website. Proceeds from ticket sales and silent auction items will benefit the American Cancer Society.
To purchase tickets for the fourth annual Art4Life event, donate or find out how to get involved, visit Art4LifeLA.com.

Medicaid growing pains
WASHINGTON Partisan politics are coloring governors' decisions about whether to expand Medicaid in their states, affecting billions of dollars and thousands of low-income people.
The question of whether they receive Medicaid coverage may have little to do with need, and much to do with the way their states vote in governors' races, including primaries.
Every Democratic governor has called for accepting larger-than-usual federal subsidies to expand Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor. The only three who failed were blocked by Republican state legislators.
Most of the 30 Republican governors have turned down Medicaid expansion, and the federal dollars that would come with it.
But a few Republican governors accepted billions in federal money to cover more people with Medicaid.
Of the eight Republican governors who will expand Medicaid, six are from states carried by President Barack Obama. One is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.
"My job is not to play party politics, but to implement this law in a way that best serves New Mexico," Martinez told state legislators.
In a similar vein, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval told a newspaper editorial board, "I couldn't sit here and defend to any of you $16 million that just went away because of 'principle.' "
At least 20 Republican governors have turned down the federal money and declined to expand Medicaid, although a few are considering other options. Many say government is too big already, and they suggest Congress will break the promise to keep paying a huge share of the cost.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says his state's residents should pass up federal aid even if other states take it. "Our refusal to expand Medicaid," he says, "does in fact help to reduce the growth in federal spending."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a 2012 GOP presidential candidate who may try again, called Medicaid expansion a brazen intrusion into state sovereignty. "I will not be party to socializing health care and bankrupting my state," he said.
But North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple, a Republican who agreed to expand Medicaid, told reporters: "We try to leave the politics out in the hallway when we make these decisions. … Are you going to allow your people to have additional Medicaid money that comes at no cost to us, or aren't you?"
Unlike many governors, Daylrymple won't face voters next year, but in 2016 instead.
The other Republican governor to expand Medicaid in a state Obama lost, Jan Brewer of Arizona, is barred from running again.
Medicaid expansion could emerge in the 2016 GOP presidential primaries.
Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and Chris Christie of New Jersey agreed to expand Medicaid. Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin declined. All are possible candidates in 2016, but Kasich and Walker first face re-election next year.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ– The New York Red Bulls lost a close, tough match Saturday night to the Kansas City Wizards by a score of 1-0. Wizards forward Josh Wolff scored the game's only goal just ten minutes into the match, and despite numerous chances, the Red Bulls could not even the match.
The loss dropped the Red Bulls to 4-17-4, with 16 points, staying in seventh in the Eastern Conference. It was the Red Bulls' first loss to the Wizards at home since a 2-1 loss on April 19, 2000.
Kansas City opened the scoring in the 10th minute of the match. Red Bulls midfielder Jorge Rojas' attempted backpass came up short, and Wizards forward Claudio Lopez ran onto the loose ball. Lopez attempted to score from about 20 yards out, but Red Bull goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul made the stop, charging at the edge of the penalty area. However, Coundoul could not direct his save, and the ball rolled right to the feet of Wolff, who fired a long shot past Coundoul for the goal for his ninth goal of the season.
The Red Bulls had a great chance to even the match in the 67th minute. A cross from the right side by Carlos Johnson forced Kevin Hertman to make a play on the ball. Hartman could not control it however, and the ball fell to Rojas, who took a left footed shot on the volley, but Kansas City defender Jonathan Leathers was there to clear the ball off the line and keep the Wizards in the lead.

Perfect for the sultry look.
Pigmented colors,easy to blend.The colors are deep and pigmented.Perfect to create that smokey look epecially the deeprr hue such as the purple,green,aburigine.A little goes a long way as the product has glitters but not much of a fallout,how ever it is advisable to use eye primer such as Too faced shadow insurance or UD primer potion for a more intense and lasting color.Sleek eyeshadow pallete is a must have!

Pigmented Shadows
A very pigmented and gorgeous colours shadows! Totally worth it to buy if you love drama shadows. You have to use a correct brush to get the pigments really seen on the eyes or best use your finger and dab it on your eyelids👍

exotic colours
I own almost all of sleek's palette available in luxola. In terms of pigmentation and stickyness in the eye it is top notch like any other sleek palettes. But in terms of colour prolly this is the most exotic one of all. Can create smokey look easily with this palette but not so usable for day to day palette as the colour is more suitable for smokey makeup. Love it but since it's not so versatile have to drop one marks.

Mixed reviews
Hmm. What can I say about this product? Yes, it's a good eyeshadow palette from Sleek once again. Sleek never fails in its eyeshadow palettes. But then, the colours & glittery look in this palette reminds me of Korean and Japanese drugstore palette colours. If that's the look you're going for, then I would recommend this palette. But if you've already got plenty of those, then this is unnecessary. the formula isn't very thick or terribly pigmented, but I think that's the look that sleek is going for in this particular palette.

Ana marie cortez
first of all i bought this palette on sale (i know thats a bonus) ad also it is also super pigmented to use, and it is so versatile if you want a day look you can and i you like night look or a party look it can be also.i usually use the gold shadow in my inner corners to give a glowy look. o would definitely buy more sleek palettes!
Was this review helpful?
I already had 2 Sleek eyeshadow palettes (Storm and Mattes V2 - both amazing!) when I ordered the Arabian Nights set. I had really high expectations and needless to say I was pretty disappointed. The colour selection is beautiful however many of the shadows have poor pigmentation and are flaky. Shimmer shadows are beautiful but matte shades were chalky and not true to colour. Price point is great but not worth it in my opinion!
Was this review helpful?
Pinky chang
Awesome highly pigmented colour!
Bought this and wore it for some dramatic eye effect for a company event. This palette is worth every penny, highly pigmented and sexy colours! If you love dramatic eyes, this is the palette to go for!

Tombstone Tuesday - Walter Bagovich
I don't post very often on my step father's side of the family so I thought I'd share the photo of his grandfather's tombstone.
Walter (Wladas) Bagovich was born in 1883 in Lithuania (we don't know where yet) and died in 1940. He is buried in St. Bernard's Cemetery in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Walter married Elizabeth (still working on her maiden name) around 1912. They had four known children: Andrew, Mary, Frances, and Nellie.
I'm still researching his death date and once found, I will be requesting a death certificate!

Many drugs are just fine years after they 'expire'
LOS ANGELES — Chances are, your medicine cabinet contains some pills that are past their expiration date. You might even have some pain relievers, some cough syrup or some sleeping pills that were purchased back when Richard Nixon was in the White House. But you can't seem to throw them away because you suspect they might still be OK to take.
If you've wondered whether medicines really do need to be tossed after their expiration date, you've got some company at the California Poison Control System, the University of California, San Francisco, and UC Irvine. Researchers from those institutions decided to satisfy their curiosity by testing the effectiveness of eight drugs that had been sitting around, unopened, in pharmacies for years after they had supposedly gone bad.

This review is from: WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX
Pros: 3TB
Cons: Bad Quality Control
Other Thoughts: I orignally bought 5 of these to replace the red 2GB drives in my NAS. Out of the 5 drives 2 were bad I got Newegg to replace those with 2 more. Both of these were bad as well so now almost a month later I still don't have my Nas completely upgraded yet. Pathetic that WD doesn't test their drives before sending them out. if it wasn't for the 3 already in my Nas I might skip on these drives. And I thought that Red were suppose to be better that the green so far that is not the case.
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX
Pros: Decent storage for the cost
Cons: 2 bad out of 5, No Quality control
Other Thoughts: I ordered 5 for a raid 5 NAS. Came bubblewrapped in a hardrive Styrofoam hold so packaging wasn't too bad however 1 was DOA and 1 Didn't make it through the testing phase (errored out). Then had to spend a ton of time trying to get replacement drives in decent time. Does WD test these drives from the looks of other reviewers it appears they don't. Shame on them taking the easy way out and making the customer do the testing for them. Although it will hurt them in the end.

Pros: I just got 2 of these both had no dead pixels & look great. As with the prev review about the Rebate. The lastest rebate was done through Newegg not Hanns-G. I will see though what happens but Newegg has never let me down before.
Cons: No DVI Cable.

Posted on Saturday, 30th August 2008 by Bcarter
Have you ever wished that you could use Google, Yahoo, and MSN all from the same place? I discovered a search engine this morning where you can search the big 3 all in one place. The search engine is called Scour. At first when I read about Scour, I immediately thought of the old time "get paid to search" sites that popped up shortly after Google introduced Adwords, but Scour is not the same. It has a professional look and you do not get paid by clicking on ads, which was the way things worked in the old days.
Combining searches from Google, Yahoo, and MSN is a great idea, but there's more to Scour. Once you perform your search, you will be able to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to a result. Kind of like DIGG or Stumbleupon for search results. Once you "thumb" a website, you are able to make a comment about the result and why you voted it up or down.
I knew that remembering to use Scour would be a problem because I perform most of my searches from the Google Toolbar in my browser. Shortly after that, I realized that there is a Scour Toolbar available for both Firefox and IE which I downloaded right away. It works exactly like the Google search from Firefox and now it is right there in front of my face reminding me to search using Scour instead of Google.
Now for the good part; how does Scour pay?
You are able to earn up to 300 points per day using Scour. Only 100 of these points can be earned from searching, the other 200 need to be earned from "thumbing" or commenting about a site. The 200 point balance can be earned from any combination of voting or commenting, but you are capped at a total of 300 points. Once you earn 6500 points, you can then cash out for $25 in the form of a VISA gift card. There is also a one tier referral aspect to Scour where you will earn 25% of the total points your referrals have earned. It's a great incentive to tell your friends. More information about the Scour rewards program can be found on their F.A.Q. page. Make sure you read the section about invalid usage and abuse to avoid banning from Scour.
Scour definitely falls into an easy and simple way to make money online, so I have added it to my favorite ways to make money online page.
Are you a member of Scour? What has been your experience so far? If you're not a member, do you think you'll become one?

Liberals are the New Nazis
Liberals love to call President Trump "Hitler." Ironically, they have it backwards. It is the progressive liberals who are the fascists. When we think of classical fascism, we think of the radical, goose stepping Nazi Party….but they were socialists. The Nazis had free health care, central control of education, the media was a tool for propaganda, and the government was involved in every aspect of life…. Read More ›

All of that Project Pink/Zune Phone rumor madness is back with one statement by Jefferies analyst Katherine Egbert:
"Our recent industry checks indicate Microsoft will be debuting its own phone sometime in the next two months...We expect the new phone to debut soon, at either the Feb 15-18 Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona Spain, or possibly at CTIA in Las Vegas one month later."Egbert believes that the Zune Phone will be birthed from a Microsoft/OEM partnership similar to what we've seen between Google and HTC with the Nexus One. She also believes the phone will feature a 5MP camera and 720P video support—neither of which are huge stretches of the imagination. [AllThingsD]

Work begins for 2013 World Youth Day in Rio
August 29, 2011
In an interview with the Vatican newspaper, the president of the Pontifical Council for the Laity discussed preparations for the 2013 World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro.
"The great wooden cross that always arrives before WYD will be like a plow in Brazil, tilling the ground for seeds," said Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko. "It will arrive in the Archdiocese of São Paulo and there start a pilgrimage to each of the country's 274 dioceses over the two years preparation for the event."
"It's very important to insist on the fact that after you have turned the spotlights off and everyone goes back to daily life, you need to follow up WYD with pastoral ministry," he added as he reflected on the 26th World Youth Day in Spain. "During the meetings in Madrid there were so many seeds sown, thanks to the presence and words of Benedict XVI, both so penetrating. But now comes the harvest time, the time of verification: we need to see how what we have invested in the Universal Church has been received and cultivated in the local ones. Above all, the young people who have chosen the consecrated or priestly life deserve special care, so that their vocation is not just a momentary spark."

Peter Jackson formally announced this afternoon that his take on The Hobbit originally envisioned as a two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkiens tale will be a trilogy.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker who, as Smeagol scholars are well aware, directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy to much critical acclaim and financial success had hinted about a third Hobbit during a recent appearance at Comic-Con. But todays statement officially confirms that a third, not-yet-titled movie will follow The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again. Part three of the Bilbo Baggins saga is slated for release in summer 2014. Unexpected Journey arrives this December.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Yee Haa
If it's a trilogy, he probably will draw from more source material than the Hobbit. I can see him drawing from Tolkien's other books of events that were happening at the same time as filler material.
The Appendices are full of material. A third movie could easily have Aragorn and Arwen share a romance and still have time for he and Gandalf to share an adventure in the years after The Hobbit but before LOTR.
The book is less than three hundred pages.
I am a true LOR fan and think he did a tremendous job with the trilogy, yet even in the extended versions he left out some major players particularly in the early stages of the films. Including Tom Bombadil who aided the adventurers in the Old Forrest prior to their stay at the Inn at Brie. He was a relatively important character and was mentioned at the Council of Elrond as a possible keeper of the Ring of Power. He was also in the ending chapters. The Rape of the Shire and the reclamation of Frodo's Home from the Sackville baggins's was left out of the LOR trilogy and it's extended version even with almost thirteen hours of film.
I only hope that he doesn't do to the Hobbit what he did to King Kong. The Movie was very good in some parts but was in desperate need of an editor. He could have lopped off a good 30 minutes or more of the film and made the picture much better by having LESS film.
Hopefully he will be far more faithful to the source material than he was for Lord of the Rings.
I'm not referring to omissions. I'm referring to deliberate alterations in the movies.
FR Hobbit Hole Pingie Thingie
Jackson also announced that after The Hobbit trilogy is done, he's planning to film a thirty part Silmarillion series that will baffle and mystify even hardcore Tolkien fans and sort of just end suddenly.
I agree with you. I hope this time they can keep from inserting things that never happened in the book and attempt to be more true to the characters. (No Elves at Helm's Deep and forget the excuses — you don't have to show character growth in every single character in the story.) I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movie, but the other two movies in the trilogy were nowhere near as enjoyable for me.
I just really hope these extra Hobbit movies don't ruin the story with padding and bloat the way Peter Jackson's King Kong was bloated.
I've read the LOTR books three times and seen the movies twice and don't really know anything major is missing.
I know Jackson excluded Bombadil. I would have liked to see that scene, except for the nude hobbits running across the fields.
Jackson said that it was an act that wouldn't have worked well in the film version. It would have left most movie goers puzzled as to why it was in the film and would have been a distraction to the overall movie itself.
I do know that sometimes what works well in a book doesn't work well in a film and adjustments have to be made to account for that. That's just the reality of film-making.
I think they should have had the cleansing of the Shire. I would have liked to have seen that.
I can appreciate why Bombadil wasn't in the movie, because it didn't fit the overall movie. To most movie goers, it would have been a strange scene to have the Hobbits running for their lives to go into this earthly paradise and strip naked and run across the field and talk to this elflike man, with a green hat, who could hold the ring with no harm done.
How could the ring really be that dangerous when this man is holding it like it was nothing? It would have undercut the danger of the ring, imo.
Peter Jackson's King Kong, to my mind, was exactly just right all around.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Apart from being able to really follow the book (a major criticism of the LOTR trilogy, as major plot points were completely eliminated or drastically altered; see: cleansing of the Shire, the Siege of Minas Tirith being reduced to a several-hour battle, the erasure of the Field of Cormallen scene and Aragorn's coronation, the erasure of the Black Breath subplot, Denethor's Palantir, etc), doing the movie as a trilogy allows him to explore the White Council and the expulsion of the Necromancer from Dol Guldur. It also permits a longer flashback for Gandalf when he found Thrain in the Necromancer's dungeon and received the map of the Lonely Mountain. Finally, it allows a bit of fill-in for the space between The Hobbit and the LOTR series, with Gollum's journey to Mordor, an introduction to the Rangers, and so on.
If you thought it was that bad, why did you finish watching it? Are you a masochist?
I think he could have been aided by a strong editor. That being said, a man that has a multi-billion dollar franchise under his belt does whatever he wants to do film wise. He could get a three hour documentary on watching grass grow green lighted. Sadly, I would probably pay to see it just because he would probably make it interesting. It would certainly be beautiful to look at.
The LOTR books aren't much longer, and Jackson had to heavily rewrite them to get a comprehensible and filmable movie. Scenes that take a few paragraphs can require tens of minutes of footage to accomplish. The announcement did say (and the trailers apparently hint that) Gandalf would be seen going to Dol Guldur, at least.
This way, we're more likely to get a good version of the battle in the caves, the arrival at Beorn's, the battle with the spiders, and the party's imprisonment in the wood-elves' palace. Hopefully, we'll also get a good build-up to the opening of the secret door, as well as the battle on the lake and the Battle of Five Armies.
LOL! Yeah, if anybody could make it interesting, it would be him. Odd ... the LOTR movies didn't do much for me, but King Kong, which is NOT typical of the kind of movie I like, really grabbed me on a bunch of levels. The scenes of the ship nearly foundering on the rocks, as I am of a seafaring family and have been on boats around surging shores a fair amount, was just so frighteningly real ... dang, now I'm getting a hankering to watch it again!!! Oh well ... it'll be a change from my recent Bullitt binge — for some reason I've watched it about three times over the past two months and could easily watch it again tomorrow except that I'd probably get tossed out of the house and have to sleep in the shed!
I think that it is in very capable hands. I simply believe that he will have to get several other sources beyond the novels narrative to flesh out what looks like another eight to ten hour trilogy.
He still needs to do the last book of ROTK.
I agree. I was not happy with the Jacksonized LOTR. I understand leaving out some material, unless one is going to do the Russian "War and Peace" marathon, with every scene and every line. However, leaving out the author's material and substituting the director's original composition is unacceptable.
I didn't get ten seconds into the "Hobbit" trailer before I started spitting, "That's not in the text! He didn't say that! His beard is the wrong color!" Our homeschool group has a "Hobbit Reading Club" going this summer and fall, but we may not be able to attend the movie when it comes out, because we have several young boys who are even worse cranks about the text than I am ;-). Maybe we can take duct tape to keep us all quiet ...
I thought the most egregious change in the story was the rather silly misuse of the Dead. Really, green glowing invincible warriors? Why didn't Aragorn just march on Mordor with them and get it over with?
Also the great misuse of Faramir's character. In the book he was one of the most admirable characters. Not to mention the way the hobbits somehow crossed the Great River twice without noticing it.
I look forward to seeing his work again in this trilogy.
I disliked some of the structural changes to the LotR movies back when they first came out. Recently I've been learning how to design stories that people want to read or watch and I've realized that some of the changes were necessary to put the movies into something closer to the three-act structure that we subconsciously expect. Cutting out Bombadil, for instance, was vital to making sure the moment of fateful decision appeared at the proper time. Structuring the Two Towers to end after the Battle of Helm's Deep allowed for a proper Act Three complete with low point and final victory.
That doesn't mean he should be allowed to get the color of beards wrong, of course! But if you (that's the general you, not you personally Tax-Chick) want to see a version that more closely follows the story yet is truly... awful as a story, the Ralph Bakshi animated version is instructional.
Hobbit is NOT enough of a story to support a trilogy.
Another example of Hollyweird greed.
Then they could have had a fourth movie about the return home and the cleansing of the Shire.
They finally figured out that with a franchise like this, another movie is 'like printing money'.
Don't know as how three "the Hobbit" movies are going to work - but I was definitely for there being FOUR 'Lord of the Rings' movies.
I agree with leaving things out and moving events from one "book" to another in order to make an effect film. I even agree with depicting events on screen that were described in conversation in a book. In a book, words are words, whether they're "live action" or a conversation, while on screen, fighting (for example) is not at all same as talking about fighting.
However, making up new material - action that didn't happen in the book, stupid modern jokes, significant changes in characters - is inexcusable, in my opinion. It's the imposition of the filmmaker's ego over the author, just because he can, and I believe it is dishonorable.
I saw the old, animated "Hobbit" movie when I was a child. It may have inspired me to pick up the book, but it was so long ago that I don't remember.
Some of those really bug me too. The little things like stupid jokes more than the big things like character changes, honestly. I adore LotR; it's been a favorite since childhood. But there's very little character development. It's essentially a milieu story. That sort of works in a book but it really doesn't work in a movie. Movies need to be character or event driven. So in order to make the movie work, they inserted character changes.
I don't like a lot of those changes. Aragorn's particularly bug me. But it did give Aragorn growth as a character. He had goals and fears. Original book-version Aragorn... didn't.
Some of it's hubris, the filmmaker thinking he can tell a story better than the author. Some of it is translation difficulties. And we as viewers have to decide how much altering of the source material we can take. There will always be some. I know exactly how Smaug looks and sounds and the movie version will be wrong, guaranteed, but I expect to enjoy the movie anyway.
Somebody who has spent 60 years working towards a goal just may have done all his "growing" already. Portraying this guy at his time of life as essentially an insecure twenty-something was insulting to the audience's intelligence.
If they had to have "character growth" it could have been handled via flashback. Five minutes of flashback showing Aragorns's life would have given plenty of room for character development.
Thanks ExGeeEye for the ping. With three movies, there should be a chance for a Moot at one of them. Or maybe not. Only time will tell.
I was with friends— the sort of friends I would stick with through times of great trouble or disaster.
Sticking with them through a movie I wasn't enjoying was, by contrast, a piece of cake.
I agree with Sherman Logan: a character can be fully developed - in the sense that the audience (or reader) knows what he is like, his values, his probable responses to a situation - without needing "to develop" or change significantly in the course of a work of narrative art.
Look at some of your great movie characters: General Patton, John Wayne as (fill in character ;-), Major Whittlesey in "The Lost Battalion." They are fully realized characters in their context, which is a combat-based context just as LOTR is. They don't need growth because they have grown already.
A character doesn't need to "grow up" to grow. A character needs to experience change during the story. He starts with a goal; takes steps toward that goal; suffers setbacks; deals with those setbacks. If he doesn't, he's not a character, just a prop. You can do all those things with a fully developed, mature character.
I think the way Jackson changed Aragorn's character did disservice to Tolkien by making Aragorn come across like a whiny loser. But I think what he was trying to do - show the audience what Aragorn was trying to accomplish - was the right idea. I just wish he'd understood Tolkien a little better and trusted the audience more.
So I totally sympathize! {^)
In summer 2014 my wife and I will turn 50. I've been casting about for something special to do that would involve taking a week off and going somewhere with lodging and a pool or something. I've been leaning toward an indoor waterpark resort here in Michigan, but considering similar places the greater midwest. Coordinating that with movie showtimes-- in this case, Hobbit 3-- should be a piece of cake.
Just a thought...
F'rinstance...or Cedar Point or Six Flags Great Americe, in OH and IL respectively...
Oh, and if we do this, I'd want to make the Hobbit-Moot part of it a surprise for MrsEx.
It would certainly be a great time!! Some of us have been discussing this on FB already, even when there were only going to be TWO Hobbit movies! It would be fun seeing you folks I haven't yet had the pleasure of 'meeting'.
I think I will require duct tape as well. I may even write "Remove at your own risk" on it. :-)
I can just imagine a whole row of us, all going, "MMMMPHHHH! SSSSSSSSSSRRRRRRRNNNNG! GRRRRRRUUUHHHHH!" Maybe straitjackets would help ...
The adults could pass a flask with an appropriate beverage, but the kids will probably have to be both bribed and threatened!

October 16, 2007
Anthony Richard Van Ryn, Partner
Moreno Valley Dairy
34005 Gilman Springs Road
Moreno Valley, California 92555
Dear Mr. Van Ryn:
An investigation of your dairy operation located at 34005 Gilman Springs Road, Moreno Valley, California conducted by representatives of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 14, 2007, confirmed that you offered animals for sale for slaughter as food that were adulterated under sections 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) [21 U.S.C. § 342 (a)(2)(C)(ii)] and 402(a)(4) [21 U.S.C. § 342 (a)(4)] of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). You can find the Act and its associated regulations on the Internet through links on the FDA's web page at www.fda.gov.
On or about February 13, 2007, you sold a culled dairy cow identified with Back Tag # 93GM1156 for slaughter as human food at [redacted] California. On or about February 13, 2007, this animal was slaughtered at [redacted]. United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) analysis of tissue samples collected from that animal identified the presence of sulfadimethoxine at 5.36 parts per million (ppm) in the liver and at 4.38 ppm in the muscle. On or about December 1, 2006, you sold a culled dairy cow identified with Back Tag # 93GK7416 for slaughter as human food at [redacted]. On or about December 1, 2006, this animal was slaughtered at [redacted]. USDA/FSIS analysis of tissue samples collected from that animal identified the presence of sulfadimethoxine at 6.67 ppm in the liver and at 8.15 ppm in the muscle. A tolerance of 0.1 ppm has been established for residues of sulfadimethoxine in the edible tissues of cattle as codified in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, section 556.640 (21.CFR 556.640). The presence of these drugs in these amounts in edible tissues from these animals causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) [(21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii)] of the Act.
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. You lack an adequate system to ensure that animals medicated by you have been withheld from slaughter for the appropriate periods of time to permit depletion of potentially hazardous residues of drugs from edible tissues. For example, you failed to maintain complete treatment records. Food from animals held under such conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) [21 U.S.C. § 342 (a)(4)] of the Act.
The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. We acknowledge that during the investigation you stated that you no longer employ the employee purportedly responsible for the tissue residue violation. However, as a producer of animals, which are offered for use as food, you are responsible for ensuring that your overall operation and the food you distribute are in compliance with the law.
You should take prompt action to correct the above violations and to establish procedures whereby such violations do not recur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice such as injunction and/or seizure.
You should notify this office in writing of the steps you have taken to bring your firm into compliance with the law within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter. Your response should include each step that has been taken to correct the violations and prevent their recurrence. If corrective action cannot be completed within fifteen (15) working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which such corrections will be completed. Please include copies of any available documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made.
If you have any questions or need clarifications regarding this letter prior to your written response, you may contact Barbara Rincon, Compliance Officer at telephone number (949) 608-4439.

Dubai is a modern city of two million with a futuristic skyline and an ancient heritage. One of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai's economy was built on the oil industry, but has since diversified and one of its main revenue sources today is tourism.
And Dubai has the attractions visitors want – everything from snow-skiing to desert safaris and eclectic amusement parks – as well as Arab cultural sites, traditional souks and grand hotels.
But perhaps Dubai is best known for the warmth of her people and a tradition of hospitality to visitors, a defining characteristic that has not been lost as this vibrant and cosmopolitan metropolis keeps its eyes on the future.
Flights to Dubai
Flying to Dubai is relatively simple, and finding cheap flights to Dubai is easy, too. On arrival, passengers will note that the modern airport features numerous duty-free shops, restaurants, open garden areas, showers, spas and even a swimming pool. Perhaps best of all, the airport is just two-and-a-half miles from Dubai.
Dubai International Airport (DXB): This is a major Middle East hub airport served by Delta, United, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic and many others, plus it is a hub for Emirates. Daily flights from Heathrow, plus nonstops from New York and other U.S. cities.
Attractions in Dubai
There are far too many "must see" attractions in Dubai than we have space for, but here are some visitor favorites and consult the links that follow for more..
Burj Al Arab – This hotel, shaped like a traditional Arabic boat with a billowing sail, is Dubai's signature building; it is taller than the Eiffel Tower and sits on its own artificial island. The decor has been called "contemporary Arabian fantasy" and it boasts butlers on call around the clock, personal shoppers for guests and a restaurant surrounded by giant aquariums. If you can't afford a room (prices start at about $1,000 a night), go there for high tea or enjoy the nightly light show.
The Beaches of Dubai – A warm azure sea surrounded by shimmering white sand makes this a perfect place to relax, but don't forget a hat and some sunscreen – summer temperatures typically hit triple digits (tip: the big season for tourists is December through March).
Desert Safari – Several companies offer these guided tours of the desert which typically include a thrilling ride over dunes and a catered BBQ dinner. Camel rides and belly dancing optional.
Dubai Museum – See artifacts dating from the third millennium B.C. plus exhibits on traditional Arab life including a souk and a date farm, and a vivid display on pearl diving.
Shopping and Restaurants in Dubai
Dining: The restaurant scene in Dubai is truly international; choose from native Arabic delicacies to French cuisine and gourmet Chinese, and yes, you can even get a great pizza here. Alcohol is available in hotels, restaurants and pubs.
Shopping: There are over 70 shopping malls in Dubai (including the Mall of the Emirates which offers an indoor ski resort), plus an annual Shopping Festival featuring music, fireworks and more. Visit one of the famed souks or marketplaces for a more traditional experience: at the Spice Souk, see cinnamon, cloves and incense sold out of sacks, or try the Gold Souk for ancient and modern jewelry designs.
Smart Tip
Check out the U.S. State Department's "country specific information" section for the United Arab Emirates for embassy contacts and visa/passport requirements, plus information on traffic, safety concerns and medical care in Dubai at Travel.State.Gov.
More Information on Dubai
For more information on Dubai attractions, consult with these websites; you'll find great choices for sightseeing plus recommendations on places to stay, and where to dine.
Dubai Dept. of Tourism and Commerce: An excellent guide to attractions and things to do in Dubai, plus a directory of hotels, restaurants and shopping centers, plus maps; sign up for the weekly newsletter and check out the section on useful tourist tips (don't drink alcohol out in public, and don't take photos of military installations or Muslim women).
Dubai Tourism: Attractions and listings of special events including jazz festivals and motor racing, plus where to go for ice skating, horseback riding, scenic flights and golf.
Go Dubai: This commercial site features Middle East news and weather, plus specials and deals on everything from dinner cruises and desert safaris to ballooning excursions.

Wait, What?Patricia Hernandez2/28/13 10:15pmFiled to: BattletoadsGrouponWtfHumor42EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Andrew Mason is the CEO and founder of Groupon, a deal-of-the-day website. Or well, he was—he was fired recently. Notifying the Groupon staff about his departure in an email, he made a ridiculously specific video game reference to Battletoads, which Wired breaks down for us.AdvertisementMason wrote:I'm OK with having failed at this part of the journey. If Groupon was Battletoads, it would be like I made it all the way to the Terra Tubes without dying on my first ever play through.What does that even mean?

It's often referenced as the most difficult video game ever, actually.AdvertisementWired's Chris Kohler muses two possibilities for Mason's comment:1. To get to the Terra Tubes on one's first try, having never played the game before, would be a Herculean, almost impossible, achievement.

Prisoners of Fate certainly has a lot to live up to. It's not only the last story of the year in the Fifth Doctor's trilogy of plays for Big Finish but it also address storylines that have been ongoing since 2010 when Nyssa rejoined the TARDIS after many years away from her friends.
And hasn't Nyssa been through so much in those three years? Avoiding death on a regular basis, adjusting to life back on board the TARDIS, keeping secrets from the Doctor regarding her new family and having her age decreased by several years to give her back her youth that she lost.
But with this series finale, if you will, , that all comes to a head. Nyssa's past is about to catch up with her and not everything will be able to stay the same.
Certainly with this story, writer Jonathan Morris has been able to pack a lot of emotional character development into the narrative. So much so in fact, that the first episode feels as if the whole adventure is going to be less action and more drama. The TARDIS arrives at the penal colony Valderon where Nyssa's son Adric is still trying to find a cure for the disease that Nyssa was trying to stop all those years ago before she disappeared: Richter's Syndrome. What unfolds for the next twenty-five minutes is a 'drama-of-errors', if you will. The audience knows that Nyssa is in her correct timeline but her son, having been told tales of her travels when he was a boy, fears that this is an earlier version of Nyssa due to her youthful looks, little does he know she's just had a bit of work done. Whilst this is an interesting premise in itself, the listener can't help but hope that the idea is not drawn out for long and thankfully, or skilfully, it's not.
The first fifty-or-so minutes of Prisoners of Fate starts to revolve around a punishment system where crimes can be foreseen and therefore prevented, a bit like Minority Report but thankfully without Colin Farrell. Of course, Tegan and Turlough are accused of a murder that they're destined to carry out and it's up to the Doctor to help exonerate them. But that's not even half the tale, because by the end of part two, there's a nice, big twist. The more enlightened of you will start piecing together the clues to this dramatic reveal along the way and by the end of the first half, you think you've guessed what's coming, but Jonathan Morris being Jonathan Morris means that he's put a twist on his twist, and it's a belter.
Prisoners of Fate really stands out because of its time paradoxes and sterling performance from Sarah Sutton as Nyssa who occasionally here, brings a tear to the eye. For those of you that don't like too much wibbly in your wobbly don't worry, the story is easy to follow and wonderful to digest. Morris takes an idea that's never been used before and offers a unique perspective on the Doctor's travels that Doctor Who fans may not have thought of before. This is a solid end to a high quality Fifth Doctor trilogy and a wonderful addition to the Doctor Who mythology during its 50th anniversary.
Another sterling effort by cast and crew alike.

Gardenia (Japanese: ナタネ Natane) is the Gym Leader of Eterna City's Gym, known officially as the Eterna Gym. She hands out the Forest Badge to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in Grass-type Pokémon.
In the games
Gardenia uses Grass-type Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the Forest Badge, TM86 (Grass Knot), and the ability to use Cut outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the Eterna Forest. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.
She appears in front of the Old Chateau, to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in Platinum, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the Battleground. She will also sometimes visit the Villa and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of Ghost-types and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a Grass/Ghost Pokémon.

- At the entrance of the Gym's maze, when player entersDP
- "At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader - me - until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting out in the back. Good luck, challenger!"
- At the entrance of the GymPt
- "Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's Gym Leader! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym Trainers first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"
- Before battle
- "You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle."
- After sending out last Pokémon
- "It's not the end yet."
- During battle
- "Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
- When defeated
- "Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
- After being defeated
- "I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"
- "Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"
- "By the way... have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... I'm here just for fun... Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"
- "Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too? You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"
- "Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"
- "...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"
- After buying Houseplants
- "Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."
- "Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"
- Before battle
- "Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"
- "Oh? You do want to battle?" (If No is the first answer)
- Yes: "Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"
- No: "You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."
- During battle
- "Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
- When defeated
- "Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
- After being defeated
- "Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."
Battleground (alternate)
- Before battle
- "My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"
- "My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?" (If No was the first answer)
- Yes: "I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"
- No: "Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."
- During battle
- "Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"
- When defeated
- "Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"
- After being defeated

In the anime
Gardenia first appeared in The Grass-Type Is Always Greener. In this episode, she had a short battle with Ash, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass Pokémon but not that it is her yet. She sent out Cherubi first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own Turtwig, which defeated both Turtwig and Staravia.
Gardenia has an obsession with Grass Pokémon to the extent that she did not appear to be taking Team Rocket seriously due to her fascination with James's Carnivine and Cacnea. But she seems to get over this problem in A Secret Sphere of Influence!, when she battled the Team Rocket without any hesitation by sending her Turtwig out. She also reveals her rank as a Gym Leader in this episode.
Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in The Grass Menagerie!. She sent out her Cherubi, Turtwig, and Roserade. Ash's Turtwig went up against Cherubi first, but it was returned. Ash's Staravia defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig, Ash sent his out. It resulted in Ash's Turtwig's victory. Roserade beat Ash's Turtwig with its Weather Ball, but later was defeated by Ash's Aipom's Swift and Focus Punch. Gardenia made use of the sunny weather to her advantage, such as increasing Cherubi's speed and allowing Roserade to launch fiery Weather Ball attacks. Despite this situation, Ash succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a Forest Badge.
She returned in Once There Were Greenfields when she took part in a Double Battle alongside James. After the battle, she offered to train his Cacnea and make it stronger. She also appeared in a flashback in Barry's Busting Out All Over! where she was revealed to have helped Cacnea to perfect Drain Punch.
This listing is of Gardenia's known Pokémon in the anime:
| ||
Gardenia's Cherubi was first seen in The Grass-Type Is Always Greener! when Gardenia used it to battle Ash's Turtwig in an unofficial battle. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.
It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's Gym battle during The Grass Menagerie!, where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its high speed and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against Staravia where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out. Cherubi's known moves are Magical Leaf and SolarBeam, and its Ability is Chlorophyll. | ||

Gardenia's Turtwig was first seen when it battled against Ash's Turtwig and Staravia. It was shown to be great in speed and very powerful. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the battle. It helped protect the Adamant Orb in A Secret Sphere of Influence!.
In Ash's Gym battle, it used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's Turtwig after a fierce battle. Gardenia reappeared in Once There Were Greenfields!, and Turtwig was used in a Tag Battle alongside James's Cacnea, but was defeated by Dawn's Pachirisu's Spark. Nando's Roselia is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle. Turtwig's known moves are Leech Seed, Leaf Storm, Bite, Tackle, and Razor Leaf. | ||

Roserade was the final Pokémon used by Gardenia against Ash. It was able to easily knock out Turtwig using a Weather Ball powered by the bright sun. When it went up against Ash's Aipom, it was unable to keep up with the active Pokémon. It was eventually knocked out with a combination of Focus Punch and Swift.
Roserade also appeared alongside Gardenia during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions. Roserade's known moves are Grass Knot, Weather Ball, Magical Leaf, and Flash. | ||

Gardenia first met Cacnea in The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!, when it was sent out by James. Gardenia automatically got attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using Pin Missile. Later in Once There Were Greenfields, after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn Drain Punch, so offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against Barry where it proved to be a strong opponent. | ||

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her Roserade use Grass Knot to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to Old Chateau and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a Gym Leader, she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.
Gardenia was the second Gym Leader that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a Double Battle against. Gardenia sent out Roserade and Cherubi against Platinum's Prinplup and Ponyta. To avoid ice and fire attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her Roserade used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. Cherubi on the other hand used Grass Knot. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a Blizzard into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.
| ||
Roserade and Cherubi were both sent against Platinum in a Double Battle. Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass Gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack technique, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly injured Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's Grass Knot (which was more powerful upon Piplup's evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her Blizzard in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at distance attack.
Cherubi's only known move is Grass Knot. | ||

Hareta first met Gardenia in Eterna Forest, both mistaking the other to be part of Team Galactic. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was Eterna City's Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by Piplup she changed her mind and agreed to battle.
| ||
Cherubi was the first Pokémon Gardenia used in the Gym battle against Hareta. It went up against his Shinx and was able to put up a great fight as it was finished off with Shinx's Bite. It was revealed that Cherubi used Leech Seed as part of the laid-out traps when Hareta's Piplup got to battle.
Cherubi's only known move is Leech Seed. | ||
Debut | Win with Teamwork!! |
| ||
Turtwig was the second Pokémon used in the Gym battle. It went up against Hareta's Shinx and allowed itself to get defeated by Shinx's Spark.
Turtwig's only known move is Grass Knot. | ||
Debut | Win with Teamwork!! |
| ||
Roserade is Gardenia's strongest Pokémon. It was the third Pokémon used in the Gym battle. It managed to defeat Hareta's Shinx due to the trap that her Turtwig set up. It also battled with Misdreavus where Misdreavus used Spite to lower the PP of Magical Leaf. Misdreavus too got defeated by Roserade which left Piplup as the last Pokémon. After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne Peck as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.
Roserade's only known move is Magical Leaf. | ||
Debut | Win with Teamwork!! |

- Gardenia is the second Gym Leader in the anime to receive a Pokémon from a main character. The first was Sabrina with Haunter.
- Coincidentally, there is a town in the anime named Gardenia Town.
- Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature TM move in the Battleground battles with her.
- However, she has all of her Pokémon knowing the move during the main battle.
- In the anime, when Ash was battling Gardenia's Cherubi, he withdrew Turtwig before he is hit. This occurred once before with Brawly of the Dewford Gym, when Treecko was going to be attacked and defeated by Machop.
- Interestingly, both were the second Gyms in a region, and both Pokémon withdrawn were the Grass-type starters of the region he was battling the Gym in.
- Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora both have fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both are only stage two.

Matthias Pohl (1869-1934), a Mennonite preacher, born in Emmendingen, Baden, Germany, on 26 March 1869, was a typesetter and proofreader in Langnau in the Emmental, Switzerland, where he also served the Mennonite congregation as preacher. In 1896 he was called as a co-worker on the Zionspilger and wrote several articles for this periodical. He also had some poetic gift and published some of his verse in a small volume, Blumen am Wege.
In 1898 he became editor of the Zionspilger and kept this position until he returned to Germany in 1900. In that year he was elected preacher in Sembach in the Palatinate. His work here was blessed until he retired in 1929. He spent his last years at the Thomashof. As an author he was unusually active, contributing devotional, narrative, and historical articles to the Gemeindeblatt and the Christlicher Gemeindekalender, thereby creating for himself a lasting monument of grateful appreciation. Matthias Pohl died at the Thomashof on 13 May 1934.
