Bael Fruit for Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome
Estimated to affect as many as 1.4 million Americans, inflammatory bowel disease includes a painful condition called colitis. While colitis is often treated with medication or surgery, natural remedies like bael fruit are sometimes used to alleviate colitis-related pain and other symptoms (such as bloating and diarrhea). An aromatic fruit long used to treat digestive troubles in ayurvedic medicine, bael fruit is thought to soothe colitis symptoms in part by reducing inflammation.
Although research on the health effects of bael fruit is very limited, there's some evidence that it shows promise in the treatment of colitis. In a preliminary study published in 2012, for example, tests on rats revealed that bael fruit may help fight colitis by curbing inflammation in the intestines.
Several other natural remedies may be helpful for colitis. For instance, some research suggests that such approaches as undergoing acupuncture and taking probiotic supplements may help treat the disease.

Lomi Lomi Massage for Healing and Happiness
For centuries, Hawaiian healers have practiced a form of massage known as lomi lomi. Rooted in a philosophy based on attaining harmony in mind, body, and spirit, lomi lomi aims to boost emotional wellbeing in addition soothing stress and easing health troubles. A typical session begins with a prayer, and may involve the use of meditation and breathing exercises. Also meant to clear blockages in the circulation of energy throughout the body, lomi lomi generally entails the use of rhythmic, flowing massage strokes.
While researchers have yet to explore the possible benefits of lomi lomi in scientific studies, there's some evidence that other forms of massage may help alleviate emotional problems. For instance, research shows that undergoing aromatherapy massage (a type of treatment based on using essential oils to enhance the massage's healing effects) may help lessen depression and relieve anxiety.

Say No to Sassafras Oil
An essential oil with a sweet scent, sassafras oil is extremely varied in its uses: sometimes touted as a natural remedy for issues like head lice, it's also used in the production of the drug MDMA (more widely known as "ecstasy"). But while sassafras oil was once widely used as a perfume and flavoring agent as well, it's now banned in the United States due to the potentially cancer-causing effects of a compound called safrole. What's more, the nonprofit conservation group Fauna & Flora International warns that production of sassafras oil is closely linked to the destruction of rare trees (and their surrounding ecosystems) throughout southwest Cambodia.
While few natural remedies are known to tackle head lice, sudsing up with shampoo containing an ayurvedic herb called neem might be helpful. Additionally, preliminary research suggests that essential oils like tea tree, peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus oils) could help knock out head lice and act as an alternative to sassafras oil.

Avipattikar: Natural Relief for Stomach Ulcers?
For help in soothing stomach troubles (such as indigestion and stomach ulcers), practitioners of ayurveda sometimes rely on an herbal formula known as avipattikar. Available in dietary supplement form, avipattikar contains a dozen herbs (including amla, clove, ginger, and haritaki).
In a preliminary study published earlier this year, scientists discovered that avipattikar may help stall the development of peptic ulcers (a condition in which sores form in the lining of the stomach or the beginning of the small intestine). In an experiment involving rats, the study's authors observed that avipattikar's anti-ulcer effects may be similar to those of the medication ranitidine.
Other natural remedies that show promise as a defense against peptic ulcers include cranberry, which may help prevent Helicobacter pylori infection (a major cause of peptic ulcers). In addition, managing stress with the help of mind-body techniquesmay be beneficial for people with peptic ulcers.
Read the article on avipattikar.
Bhringaraj Oil for Beautiful Hair?
In ayurveda, a natural remedy known as bhringaraj oil has long been used to enhance hair health. Made from a mix of extracts of bhringaraj (a plant also known as false daisy) and sesame or coconut oil, bhringaraj oil is thought to help treat imbalances in pitta (one of the three doshas) and, as a result, help strengthen hair, fight premature grayness, and aid in the treatment of alopecia areata.
While scientific support for bhringaraj oil's power to boost hair health is fairly limited, there's some evidence that it may help promote hair growth. For example, a number of preliminary studies published in the past decade have demonstrated that bhringaraj extract may help stimulate the growth of hair in animals.
Preliminary research indicates that several other remedies show promise as a natural approach to healthier hair. These remedies include biotin, a vitamin widely available in dietary supplement form.
Read the article on bhringaraj oil.
Ferulic Acid: An Anti-Aging Solution for Skin?
Some skin-care products said to slow aging contain ferulic acid, a compound sourced from such plants as sweet corn and tomatoes. Rich in antioxidants (and also taken in dietary supplement form to enhance heart health and curb cholesterol and blood pressure), ferulic acid is said to treat sun-induced damage and help remove fine lines and wrinkles from the skin.
While relatively few studies have tested ferulic acid's effects on skin, there's some evidence that applying this compound in combination with other substances may be beneficial in skin care. For example, preliminary research shows that a mixture of vitamin C, ferulic acid, and phloretin (a compound found naturally in apples) may protect skin from damage caused by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Additionally, a blend of ferulic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E may shield your skin by reducing oxidative stress.
Read the article on ferulic acid.
Carrot Seed Essential Oil for All-Natural Stress Relief?
A sweet-scented substance long used in aromatherapy, carrot seed essential oil is sometimes touted as a natural solution for stress relief. It's thought that breathing in the somewhat earthy fragrance of this essential oil can send messages to the limbic system (a brain region known to influence the nervous system) and, in turn, promote relaxation.
Despite its long history of use, the aromatherapeutic effects of carrot seed essential oil have yet to be explored in scientific studies. If you're seeking an aromatherapy remedy for better stress management, consider blending carrot seed essential oil with lavender essential oil (a substance shown to possess sedative properties). When combined with a carrier oil and massaged into your skin (or added to a bath), a blend of carrot seed and lavender oils may help you wind down after a stressful day.
Read the full article on carrot seed essential oil.
Red Raspberry Leaf for Menstrual Cramps?
An herb said to relax the uterus, red raspberry leaf is often taken in tea form to help ease the pain of menstrual cramps. Also said to enhance overall women's health, red raspberry leaf contains such antioxidants as quercetin and kaempferol.
To date, there's a lack of scientific support for the claim that red raspberry leaf tea can help tame menstrual cramps. However, sipping warm beverages such as herbal tea may be helpful in treating menstrual symptoms.
For more help in soothing menstrual pain, consider taking herbs like ginger, upping your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, or massage on the lower abdomen with a blend of essential oils of lavender, clary sage, and marjoram (combined with a carrier oil). Cutting back on caffeine and alcohol, exercising regularly, and managing your stress can also go a long way in stopping cramps.
Can Maracuja Oil Revitalize Your Skin?
One newly trendy ingredient in natural skincare products is maracuja oil, a substance sourced from the seeds of the passionflower or passion fruit plant. Fans of maracuja oil suggest that it can help shield skin by locking in moisture and reversing signs of aging (such as fine lines and wrinkles).
Although there's not much scientific support behind the supposedly skin-saving effects of maracuja oil, some research shows that the oil is rich in linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid that plays a central role in skin function) as well as in antioxidants (a class of compounds found to fight sun damage when applied to the skin).
Other sources of skin-protecting essential fatty acids include argan oil, baobab, and sea buckthorn) (all commonly found in natural skincare products). There's also some evidence that upping your intake of antioxidant-rich foods and omega-3 fatty acids may enhance your skin's health.
Thalassotherapy for Fibromyalgia
To soothe the pain and ease the fatigue commonly associated with fibromyalgia, some patients have tried a type of alternative medicine known as thalassotherapy. Sometimes considered a form of hydrotherapy, this practice involves using the ocean, seawater, or marine products like algae and seaweed to promote healing. It's thought that--once absorbed into the body--minerals found naturally in seawater (including magnesium and zinc) can help fight mineral deficiencies and enhance health.
Although research on thalassotherapy is limited, a few studies have shown that fibromyalgia patients may experience improvements in mental and physical health after undergoing this treatment. There's also some evidence that thalassotherapy may boost emotional health in people with fibromyalgia, a condition closely linked to anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues.
Other alternative approaches that show promise in the management of fibromyalgia symptoms include receiving massage and practicing yoga.

Review of chapter "Chapter 17: A Surprise Meeting" from
Great chapter! I really liked that you tied it into your "Lighthouse" Fic-A-Day story. & I loved that Buffy still ended up babbling a little bit when she met Amanda's people. LMAO That seriously cracked me up. Also, I like that Amanda was cautious, only makes sense (to be honest). Can't wait to see what happens next!
Comments from author:
Hey, just because she's the Queen, doesn't mean she isn't still Buffy - even if she goes by a different name now. And Amanda had good instincts most of the time on the show, despite her lack of formal training most of her televised career with the agency.

Thanks for the continuity with your story for a day/holiday challenge. It was nice to see the references to that story. And, while Billy may not at this time take Phoenix/Buffy up on the offer, he might be a good recruiter of support staff for the group that Buffy and the Immortals are forming. Now, on to the Slayers and see who truly deserves the power and who do not!

Good advice from Billy, but that's only what we expected.
Always glad to see another chapter of this.
Comments from author:
Mmm...Lee! Gonna need some a/c to cool myself down. If I didn't remember his stress levels being an issue on the show, I would have loved to have brought Billy into the Council. But if he was chugging antacids when dealing with agents, I can't imagine what he'd have to do to deal with Slayers and Defenders.

Review of chapter "Chapter 16: Good Advice Considered" from
Hello, I just reread this story and still loving it. I just wondered will there be any confrontation between Willow and Tara or will Tara wish to be kept a secret from Willow? I hoped there is confrontation between them because she deserved the dressing down after everything she has done to Buffy and siding with Kennedy instead of her.
Will there be a new chapter soon? I can't wait for confrontation between Buffy and the Scoobies along with the slayers.
Have fun!
Comments from author:
Musie and I haven't decided if Tara should be seen or not. Guess it depends how crazy Willow gets when she sees Buffy's alive. I'll try to poke Musie into working on updates.

Review of chapter "Chapter 16: Good Advice Considered" from
Hope you will update this one soon. I can't wait for Buffy taking and bonding the Slayers powers. Especially Kennedy's, I really don't like that girl. She is a spoiled, selfish and cruel brat and that's is a soft way of saying what I really think of her.
I hope you won't bring any other Scoobies back in Buffy's grace. I had it with Willow, Xander and Giles they are the old Council in disguise. The Dawn and Faith in your story acting more mature than in the series and with them I can live. But those three, they did everything I don't like in friends. They are not trusted.
I really hope you update soon and won't forget this story. In the meanwhile I enjoyed your other stories.
Comments from author:
I haven't really decided whether the others will learn anything or not. Guess that even if she allows them in her Council doesn't mean she has to forgive them...right? I didn't really want to include Dawn either, but the challenge sorta required it.
Right there with you on KenKen. *smirk* Good thing I can do anything I want to her in my stories.

Review of chapter "Chapter 16: Good Advice Considered" from
Excellent story. I get the impression Xander will be a Defender, as if he actually died, they're already pulling people out of Heaven. :P
But aside from that, the counseling scenes are kind of interesting (that is, getting them to go, and benefit after). It makes a great deal of sense, but doesn't happen often in stories. Probably due to the action-filled nature, partly due to Buffy having been involuntarily institutionalized. So for most approaches, the ground covered is fairly virgin. :-)
Comments from author:
I think so many of the problems of the past couple seasons of BtVS were due to lack of psychological support. If it were up to me, they would have had a counselor from season 1 on. Flutie was sort of a geek, but at least he had that right.

Review of chapter "Chapter 16: Good Advice Considered" from
I'm not usually a Highlander fan, but something made me want to try this one. And I'm so glad I did! Good to see a self-confident Buffy, after the emotional battering she took in seasons 6 and 7 (well, long before that, actually). I can't wait to see Kennedy receive her come-uppance - and unless something happens that results in a major change of heart, I'm guessing someone/something more powerful than Buffy will decide to strip Willow's powers, too.
Can't say I'm missing Xander either. The number of stories on this site where the author dares to kill him off could be counted on one hand (I think you've managed it twice, at least, elsewhere), whereas the other characters are killed off much more frequently. Personally, I always thought he was a red shirt waiting to happen from an early part of the series (no skills, no sense...)
Keep up the good work.
Comments from author:
Glad you gave this Highlander story a try.
Buffy's situation is helped by the fact that her advisors - at least most of them - have gobs and gobs of experience...as opposed to everyone in Sunnydale. Even Giles is a babe in the woods compared to most of the Immortals.
If I could get away with it, I'd kill off Xander in every story; that, or have him not exist in the first place.

Featuring a Tom fulp Voice cameo!
I love holiday themed flash, and I especially love claymation. Nice looking characters. I think the faces could use a little work. So, the voices are pretty good, improving with each movie. As usual, you have interesting looking characters and objects, and great movements. "Backhand!" Nice Christmas clay. That should be it's own section. I love it when people make cameos, especially really cool cameos.

Mitt Romney Is Off Base on QE3 Criticism
More simply, part of the Fed's hope is that these moves will buoy investor wealth and decrease the cost of raising money. Bernanke is also attempting to reduce the cost of capital for corporations to make projects more attractive to invest in.
The Romney campaign used the Fed's new monetary policy announcement to claim that it confirmed Obama's economic policies had failed.
"After four years of stagnant growth, falling incomes, rising costs, and persistently high unemployment, the American economy doesn't need more artificial and ineffective measures," Lanhee Chen, Romney's policy director, said in a statement.
Not all Republicans agree with Romney's approach."The Fed has had a decades history of independence from politics, and I think that the Fed acted when they felt they should act, and not when anyone else said they should act," said Jim Denton, a Nevada-based Republican political consultant. "I remember when President George H.W. Bush was upset with [former Fed Chairman] Alan Greenspan because he wouldn't lower interest rates during the election." The Fed downplayed the possibility of easing in the early part of the summer as investors magnified their calls for the central bank to step in to combat the elevated unemployment rate. The worry among many analysts was that if Bernanke and his team waited too long, Americans would see a late 2012 move as purely political -- something that would benefit President Barack Obama. It's unlikely that QE3 will have a noticeable impact on the economy before the election, and The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza pointed out that "economic-minded" Republican and Democratic strategists don't think the monetary stimulus will influence the presidential race. Many voters and market analysts may side with Romney, though on slightly different grounds. "Clearly, the effectiveness of each quantitative easing looks to me that each time they do it it's less and less effective," said Allan Flader, a financial adviser at RBC Wealth Management. "They keep making money plentiful; the economic term is 'marginal utility,' where you're coming out of the desert and you're really thirsty [so] that first glass of water you'd pay $1 million for, but the 100th glass of water you might only pay a penny for."

Perfect for my small corner
Karen Castelli from United States
This cabinet was perfect for a small corner in the dining area of my log home. It came fully assembled and east to uncrate. The quality was what you would expect from Hooker-excellent. I love the way you can see the logs walls through it and the rustic gray finish is a perfect contrast.
OUR SKU # HKR4070This item is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 638-50020

I've said this before, byut I think it's worth repeating.
Keep a good stock of ammo on hand at all timnes. and if you want a new gun, don't wait until the last six months before an election to buy it.
The manufacturers and retailers really love panic buying and shortages so they can raise prices. And the prices will not come down very much.

National buy ammo day? Lame. All that does is drive up prices.
How about a national write your elected officials day? There's 80 million gun owners. I know if a thousand gun owners sent me a letter, I'd sure as hell listen.

Girl, 14, struck and killed by train in Martinez – SFGate
Family members, friends and school officials are mourning the loss of a 14-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a train in Martinez when, according to her mother, she tried to retrieve a cell phone she had dropped on the tracks.
Jenna Betti was hit by an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway freight train east of Old Orchard Road near Howe Road about 5 p.m. Sunday, authorities said.
Three crew members on board saw two people on the tracks, said railway spokeswoman Lena Kent. "Both individuals got off of the track," she said, "and for some unknown reason, one of the individuals came back on the track."
This is getting the usual kind of weepy coverage such incidents always garner, but you know? Stupidity is occasionally fatal.

Wrap around leather straps are very stylish, but be weary of wrist size. Looks great on, esp with boots and jeans
This was the perfect gift for my teenage daughter, her face just lit up. She wears it every day.
Just wasn't for me. my arms are too skinny no matter how I wrapped it around would not fasten right.
This was a gift purchase for a college student which "got lost" enroute to her, So don't really know if she would have liked. But I think so, I thought it was a fun alternative.
This watch was already broken when I received it, but didn't notice until part way through the day when I was wearing it. When I removed the red "stopper" that kept the battery from wearing out (because it was the first time I was wearing it) the second hand started ticking right away. The hour hand seemed to be functioning properly, however the second hand stoped ticking at random and won't begin ticking again until I either tapped the watch or pushed on the nob that you use to adjust time. The minute hand on the watch does not work at all. It is completely loose in the watch and moves freely every time I move my wrist or arm. This watch is defective, which is a shame because I really liked the style. Don't waste your money!

Have you ever noticed how much the World Cup tournament has in common with the NFL's regular and post season model? The former is essentially a condensed version of the latter. They both field 32 teams who are divided into eight groups of four. During the NFL regular season, It is the goal of every team to either win their specific division or gain a wild card spot in the playoffs, which mirrors, in part, the pool play concept of the World Cup. If you initially win enough games or matches, then you automatically qualify to participate in the single elimination playoff rounds.
In another interesting parallel, the US soccer national team is strikingly similar to the Carolina Panthers. Neither has ever won a world championship and, as such, are frequently looked down upon by the media and opposing fans in their respective sporting communities, both nationally and internationally. But never underestimate the power of belief. These insufferable fan bases are experiencing a revival of sorts and are faithfully clinging to their most recent promising performances as proof that a trip to the top of the hill is closer than any so-called pundit can imagine.
Will the United States of America win the World Cup in 2018? I certainly wouldn't bet on it. However, when it comes to the Panthers, I would be willing to push all my chips to the center of the table as a manifestation of my unwavering confidence that they will win the Big One before the next World Cup. Unlike the national team, they will have four chances to do so.
What about you CSR? Will the Panthers win it all before the 2018 World Cup?

This fall, the Williston State College Foundation
is offering a new scholarship to regional students. It is called
the Teton Promise.
scholarship will be awarded to 100 local students and will cover half of their
tuition over the course of the next two years at the school.
graduating with the class of 2014 in Williams, McKenzie, Mountrail, Burke and Richland counties with a
2.0 GPA or higher will qualify for the Teton Promise Scholarship.
"Financially, very few students
have the opportunity to have half of their tuition paid for. To really get them
started on that track, and really work towards that student's success
model, we want students to be successful in their time at Williston state. Whether
they plan to attend here for two years and enter the work force, or attend for
two years and continue on for a four year degree," says Leah Windnagle the director for the college's enrollment services. .
To get the process started, students must
first apply for admission to Williston State College. There are only so many
spots available per each county, so Windnagle suggests students begin applying
as soon as possible.

Miliband calls for 10p tax rate
The Labour leader Ed Miliband has said he would use the next Budget to bring back the 10p rate of income tax, paid for by a "mansion tax" on homes worth more than £2m. The 10p tax band was controversially scrapped by Gordon Brown.
We would 'put right a mistake' made by Gordon Brown
– Ed Miliband, Labour leader
We would tax houses worth over £2 million and we would use the money to cut taxes for working people.
We would put right a mistake made by [former Prime Minister] Gordon Brown and the last Labour government.
We would use the money raised by a mansion tax to reintroduce a lower 10p starting rate of tax, with the size of the band depending on the amount raised.
This would benefit 25 million basic rate taxpayers and it would move Labour on from the past and put Labour where it should always have been - on the side of working people.
Davey: Miliband tax plan 'is best form of flattery'
The Lib Dem Energy Secretary Ed Davey has told ITV News he is "delighted" Labour has "seen the error of their ways" by announcing plans for a "mansion tax" on houses worth £2 million:
– Energy Secretary Ed Davey
Our flagship policy is fairer taxes.
People copying you is the best form of flattery.
If Labour are realising they should have supported the "mansion tax" when we argued for it when they were in government and could have delivered it, then I am delighted that they have seen the error of their ways.
Ed Miliband thanks audience for Valentine's Day date
Labour leader Ed Miliband has opened his major speech thanking his audience for "choosing to spend part of Valentine's Day with me and Ed Balls".
He is delivering a speech in Bedford in which he is expected to announce Labour's policy to reintroduce the 10p tax rate and a new 'mansion tax'.
Miliband announces plan to reintroduce 10p tax band
Ed Miliband has called for the 10p rate of income tax to be brought back.
The Labour leader insisted reintroducing the band - controversially scrapped by Gordon Brown - would make society fairer.
He said the move could be funded by a new "mansion tax" on homes worth more than £2 million.

August 28, 2014
Denver (AP) Colorado Springs Republican Representative Douglas Bruce has been ordered to leave the podium of the State House Of Representatives, after calling mexican workers "illiterate peasants."
Bruce made the comment today during a debate on a bill that would allow the state to help immigrant workers get temporary visas from the federal government. The bill is designed to ease a shortage of farmworkers in Colorado.
The Mexican consulate in Denver did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Today's incident wasn't Bruce's first run-in at the capitol.
In January, he became the first Colorado lawmaker censured by the house after he kicked a newspaper photographer for taking his picture during a prayer.

From the District's Facebook page:
"The District will close to protect the health and well being of students and staff because of the potential risks associated with frostbite and hypothermia. All scheduled events, including after school programs and extra-curricular activities are canceled.
"The District consulted with the National Weather Service and Dr. Sandra Ford, Director of DeKalb County Board of Health. According to Dr. Ford, 'As wind speeds increase, heat is carried away from the body faster, which lowers skin temperature, increasing risk for frostbite and hypothermia. In the weather we are expecting, children would need hats, gloves, coats, and even face coverings, as well as appropriate shoes and socks to protect those areas at greatest risk for damage from exposure: fingers, toes, earlobes, and the tip of the nose.' "
The forecast for the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area calls for a morning low between 4-6 degrees, with a projected wind chill at 7 a.m. of -10 degrees. The high Tuesday will be 26, with Wednesday's low around 16.
'The District's Inclement Weather Advisory Team will continue to monitor all district and school operations including facilities, maintenance, and transportation. Future decisions regarding school openings, closings, or delayed openings will be communicated to members of the Board of Education, parents, the public and the local media by email, phone tree calls, the District website, PDS-TV24, District website, social media channels and the DCSD 1200 line."
Monday was a teacher work day, with district employees reporting at 10 a.m.
Meanwhile, the area's two Catholic schools -- St. Pius X and Immaculate Heart of Mary -- will be open Tuesday. Both schools are allowing students to dress out of uniform to stay warm for the day.

No, it's not my fault. It's the fault of my father, brothers, nephews, uncles, cousins, classmates and friends who serve or served in the military. I'm from that generation of draft-dodgers and people who spit on those returning from Vietnam - those who hid out in college or Canada - and I repudiate them and all those milktoast cowards who cut and run. I don't have a problem with deferrments - not everyone is suited to the military, but don't spit on our military.<quoted text>
I was thinking, "Who the hell cares about Benghazi right now?"
And then I read this, and now I understand why you are obsessed with this issue.
It isn't really your fault.
Simple solution: Stop watching Fox News!
Carry on.
Fox News Focuses On Benghazi Attack While Largely Ignoring Hurricane Sandy
And don't sit in the White House, watch the action and go to bed to be well rested for a campaign fundraiser in Vegas. Do your job man - for once. The guy is basically out of his league, clueless, and a narcissist.

I am definitely taking a wait and see approach. I don't care about Iron Man one way or the other, a new Thor could be pretty cool, especially since Jason is still going to write that series and he has done an amazing job on Thor. I haven't really read Captain America since the Brubaker days but I am fine with Sam taking over. The Falcon isn't one of my favorite heroes but I don't dislike him either.
HT101's forum posts
My brother and I will be seeing it this weekend. I have been able to avoid what the mid- and post-credits scenes are so I am also excited about seeing what they are.
All of the great things that IDW is doing is just making me spend more money on turtles stuff. This is obviously an excellent thing.
@movieartman: I just bought those two last week and started it last night. It is truly amazing and how Jason has such an amazing handle on three different versions of Thor is truly a testament to his writing abilities.
Anything that includes Beta Ray Bill is excellent. I may actually buy these issues.
I knew about the ending scene for Iron Man before I saw it but I was glad I did because it just made me more excited about the film. I knew about the Avengers one as well and it was also super exciting. I will probably avoid any spoilers for the comic book movies this year though because I am really excited about them and I want my viewing to be as pure as possible. On the Skrulls thing, they couldn't be Skrulls since the rights for them are owned by FOX because of them having Fantastic Four. Also, the Chitauri in Avengers weren't even like the Chitauri in The Ultimates since they were just aliens and not shape-shifting aliens. It seemed like the reveal about them was just a little nod to people who knew what that name meant.
I still say this movie will never come out. DC has only succeeded with their movies when they let the director truly do his thing and the only one who really succeeded was Nolan. Singer did his thing, and for better or worse, it was deemed a failure. The two Chris Reeves Superman movies were really good and the two Burton Batman movies were decent but other than that, they haven't done a good job. Their animation studio is awesome but their actual movie studio has not filled me with hope that they will make this movie and that it will be good. A JL movie would be really cool but I just don't see it happening.
I watched it on demand through Amazon and it was awesome. It definitely would have made my top 10 list of movies from last year if I'd seen it last year.
If this movie ever comes out, I think that Warner Brothers will do a poor job because they haven't shown me anything that would make me want to see it. The Batman trilogy was so popular because Nolan pretty much said to stay away from me and let me do my thing. Superman hasn't been good since the first two Chris Reeves movies and Batman was left out to die because of Schumacher. Warner has done an amazing job with their animated series but their movies have not impressed me at all(besides Nolan's movies).
