I'd like to win the book, because I'm interested in how to bake without eggs. It's pretty easy to substitute rice milk for milk, and oil or margarine for butter, but I really haven't found a good substitute for eggs in several of the things I like to bake.

Before making a decision about where to store my items I read reviews about several different storage place. Uncle Bob's storage had very good reviews and I was not disappointed at all. Michelle was fantastic and very helpful. This is not my first time using a storage unit but this is the first time I have been this happy with a place. I am pregnant and due in a couple of months, Michelle went so far as to ask me to bring my little boy to see her sometime after he was born. So many places don't take the time to get to know there customers this place is not one of them!Sunshine from Independence, LA

Last weekend Tim and I visited our good friends in Seattle. We were treated to plenty of Mighty O Donuts, gorgeous weather, dinner at an amazing vegan restaurant, mini golf, homemade pizza and pancakes, and boxing battles on Nintendo Wii. That is a lot of fun to pack into one weekend!! Here are some photos of our adventures:
Thanks, Kim and Dave!
Stay tuned for tomorrow because I am posting a recipe for a fantastic sammie. You don't want to miss it – promise!

The cause of this issue was with our testing procedure for this particular case, which has been rectified. Our logs indicate that there's no sign of this being successfully utilized (beyond the person who found it). We've made a number of changes to improve security on the LastPass.com website and help reduce the chance of a recurrence of this kind of issue:
1) Implemented HSTS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
2) Increased our input filtering and stateful inspection.
3) We've implemented X-Frame-Options https://developer.mozilla.org/
4) We've begun implementing something very similar to Content Security Policy (CSP) https://wiki.mozilla.org/
We believe this issue to be resolved but are continuing to audit and implement ways to further mitigate risk. If you would like to take extra precautions in the interim a good security practice would be to avoid keeping yourself logged into LastPass if you're visiting websites of ill repute.
CSP is a big step forward in risk reduction from this kind of attack. While we're disappointed we missed this case up-front we're pleased that will lead to an even stronger product in the near term.
For those wanting to learn more about non-persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

The London film world (and its media) have been turned to the 2012 Berlinale. As film critics and journalists flock to Germany for the annual festival, complaints about the Teutonic cold are routine, as are the proclamations heralding a new masterpiece of world cinema. This year's programme featured a few interesting releases by African directors.

It is Sri Lankas hill capital and, at 488 metres above sea level, has a much cooler and more pleasant climate than Colombo or the southern towns. Kandy is classed as a World Heritage City by UNESCO and is home to the famous tooth relic of the Lord Buddha. Kandy is the venue of the Esala Perahera, easily the most colourful festival in Asia, held in July/August each year, in honour of the tooth relic. The torch-lit streets are filled with elephants and costumed dancers as they pay homage to the casket of the sacred tooth relic carried by the king of the elephants. The procession moves along the streets for seven consecutive nights and concludes on the day of the August full moon. The tooth relic is housed in a golden temple known as the Dalada Maligawa - the Temple of the Tooth. It is home to wonderful architecture and paintings, thanks to the patronage of the Kandyan kings. Other attractions in Kandy include walking round the large and wonderful botanical garden, watching elephants bathing, taking in an evening show of Kandyan dancing and traditional fire walking, to say nothing of the museums, historical buildings, and the lovely views of the mountains and the lake.

One sure sign of recovery in boom-and-bust power-generation markets is the renewed growth in the planning and construction of power plants. Active efforts are underway in generation development in...
Gas Market Outlook
Why America's bridge fuel faces a road block.
horizontal rig counts are down significantly less than other rig types and have begun to increase over the last several months suggesting that producers will continue to pursue shale development despite the fairly low price environment.
After months of holding steady despite falling prices and much lower rig counts, U.S. lower 48 natural gas production has shown some initial signs of decline. With fewer new wells being added, gas production could drop significantly in 2010, partly because of the shift to shale gas production and shale well's typical high initial production decline rates. 1 In addition, many areas of relatively expensive conventional production—such as the offshore Gulf of Mexico—are continuing to decline.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports increased slightly during the summer averaging approximately 1.5 Bcfd compared to 1 Bcfd for most of 2008. This winter, U.S. LNG imports increased, reflecting additional deliveries into the Northeast U.S. in part due to: new liquefaction trains coming on-line; low global natural gas demand; and new import terminals coming on-line in Eastern Canada and the Northeast U.S. (see Figure 4) . Most Gulf Coast LNG cargoes arrive under short-term or spot contracts. In general, Gulf Coast LNG imports have been the highest during the spring and fall when seasonal gas demand is lowest in other parts of the world. East Coast LNG cargoes include a portion of the deliveries under long-term contracts and in general, the terminals in the Northeast are expected to have higher utilization rates than those in the Gulf Coast. 2 While LNG imports are starting to ramp up, Canadian gas delivered via pipeline continues to be the largest source of U.S. natural gas imports. While Canada was a growing source of natural gas supply to the U.S. market for many years, U.S. net pipeline imports were down approximately 1 Bcfd in 2009 compared to 2008, reflecting growing U.S. shale gas production, declining Canadian natural gas production, and increasing Canadian natural gas demand.
Anemic Decade
Natural gas demand growth from the power generation sector likely will accelerate over the long-term driven by carbon restrictions and other environmental pressures that eventually will encourage the construction of new natural gas-fired power plant capacity. Over the next 10 years; however, natural gas demand growth is expected to be anemic.
The predicted slow growth over the next ten years should occur at least in part due to the significant growth in natural gas-fired power generation capacity that occurred in the early part of the 2000s, which created an over-build of capacity in some U.S. power markets. Natural gas-fired power generation capacity essentially doubled from 1998 to 2004, from approximately 200 GW to approximately 400 GW (see Figure 5) . Since 2004, natural gas-fired power generation capacity has continued to expand but at a much lower rate.
Since 1995, coal-fired power generation capacity essentially has been flat—as has nuclear and hydro-electric generation capacity. Oil-fired capacity has declined by approximately 10 GW. Renewable capacity began to grow in the last decade from a very small base, and in 2008 and 2009 increased at a rate of 10 GW/year.

May 8, 2012This is "Power Rangers" for adults, with fancier special effects. Please, a flying invisible aircraft carrier. My suspension of disbelief broke into a million pieces. It obviously wasn't there when the film asked me to believe that the horrendously destructive battle of six spiffy looking Marvel characters and thousands of space creatures pouring through a space portal in the middle of New York City didn't lead to the wholly unnecessary deaths of thousands of people. Please. "It's just comic book stuff" doesn't excuse the fact that it still must be made to look reasonable for the viewer to buy into it. There was no one to root for, no real plot tension, no depth of character -- the constant pointless bickering between Avengers doesn't count. Come on. What kind of shallow people these days think that a film that merely amounts to an agonizing overload of street kickboxing to defeat an effete space god is a "10" on this scale. Have video games made so many people this way? That's the real scary thing the Avengers should be avenging.… Expand
Jun 9, 2012Horrible film. Absolutely no content whatsoever. There is not a shred of seriousness of genuine emotion or action in this movie. Any attempt to create any sense of connection is broken up by stupid one liners, which continuously add to the shallow and unrealistic characters who couldn't really be farther from acting like superheroes. The plot is likewise very badly done. It felt like they tried to make the movie go forward just so they can show the meaningless 10-15 action scene where the "heroes" get together and kick ass.… Expand
May 8, 2012I think that the movie was a bit slow at first but then picked up a bit near the end. I did not enjoy the movie as much as everyone told me I would. I thought it was very okay compared to the other superhero movies. Some of the jokes they made were funny, but others were very lame. I just think that they may have relied a little too much on the effects rather than the story. I did not feel attached to any of the characters. Perhaps the only character I felt was the most fun to watch was Bruce Banner who played the Hulk. They are all amazing superheroes individually, but I did not feel the chemistry between them as a team.… Expand
Nov 9, 2012I finally saw Avengers the other night. I was expecting so much more from Joss Whedon. Where were the deep conflicted characters and the witty dialogue that I'm used to from Firefly and Buffy? This movie was too much like Transformers. It was way too heavy on action and special effects, with little to no character development. Also, I just can't get past how cheesy the costumes were, especially the villain's. I mean what was with those ridiculous horns?? I fell asleep about 6 times during the movie and kept waking myself up because I was waiting for it to get good. It just never happened. With all the amazing writers out there struggling for work why are we having to put up with this crap on the silver screen?… Expand
May 15, 2012The Avengers is middling at best. It is incredibly cliched, predictable and shallow. Character development is nil, as well as tension or suspense. Cheesy one liners and attempts at humor further sink The Avengers. The only redeeming quality of the movie was Loki, the main villain.
Oct 5, 2012Joss Whedon's widely influenced summer spectacular offers 130 minutes of popcorn-friendly fun, yet fails to deliver anything more than run-of-the-mill escapist entertainment. Tom Hiddleston is superb as Shakespearian villain Loki and Mark Ruffallo gives The Hulk some heart, yet the film's character development is minimal, its plot slow and formulaic, and its screenplay drizzled in gooey one-liners and excessive fanboy cream. Things pick up a little during the final act, but even a swooping, snarling Manhattan sky-battle isn't enough to save The Avengers from feeling bloated and underwhelming.… Expand
May 14, 2012Where's the story? Lots of punches but nothing to make me interested in the characters or the plot - what plot? What does it say about us that this movie has been so popular? I followed MC's recommendation and was sorely disappointed. The bits of humor and Robert Downey were the only bright spots in a really boring movie. Loki's horns looked ridiculous.
Jan 5, 2013The Avengers is shockingly phony, corny and cheesy. The movie is extremely clumsy with too many characters with all their personal backgrounds. The story and movie completely fall apart wth the lack of chemistry between any of the superheros. An action spectacle wth very little to show for.
Jan 3, 2013This is one of the most overrated movies I've seen this year. A weak and predictable plot masked by tons of action and great special effects. Limited character development also made it difficult to be invested in any of the characters. A waste of a good cast.
Jul 19, 2012Probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Only Tony Stark and Bruce Banner seemed developed. The storyline was dull and boring. The finale took forever. The "come together" moment was completely terrible. Hawkeye barely got any screen time. Unoriginal storyline creates a power rangers for adults. Mindless action that had no meaning makes this one of the worst Marvel movies of all time. The only good parts about this were the special effects (which had no meaning because of the terrible script, unoriginal storyline, and mediocre acting) and the only developed character, the Hulk. If you want a real movie, skip "Marvel's The Avengers".… Collapse
May 26, 2012Please answer this question: "What was the plot of this film?" If you can't sum it up in three sentences, please review the legitimacy of this film. When I watched it, I thought with dull sensations, 'Man, this is entertaining, this is cool. Hey, look, the Hulk is about to turn....into the Hulk!" But that was it. I'm no 'hipster' as the 'cinema-jew' says would only trash on the film. I'm a rational human being. Seriously, what is the film's plot!!!! Alien-warriors from a parallel universe team up with a demi-god who's supposed to be swirling in a blackhole, bent on conquering earth FOR NO APPARENT REASON?!?!?!?! What? This plot seems created by a toddler. It makes no sense. There are so many plot-holes (Ex: Why did Iron Man attack Thor when he knows about the Avengers in the first place? And why did Thor ever get the ability to beam down back to Earth?!?!?!) that it makes me feel stupid from watching it. The characters work well together and I enjoyed the comedic elements of the film, only because I felt they were making fun of their selves. This is the bane of American stupidity. And it's grossing millions!… Expand
May 20, 2012This kind of movie is for the young at heart and mind. Not that there's anything wrong with that-been there done that-it's just such a repetitive genre. Invincible people beat up on invincible people. No-one gets hurt- major damage to buildings though-and then they do it again. Hulk gets the best scenes and Iron Man gets the best lines. In the end after 1/3 of greater New York City is demolished Mayor Bloomberg (or whoever in the future where Aircraft carriers fly) asks for Stimulus money from.......Odin?… Expand
Dec 4, 2012My most honest opinion as a Marvel fan: this movie is an absolute piece of garbage and overrated as hell. It's just as dumb and moronic as Bay's Transformers by only focusing on big budget special effects and random silly jokes. I give it a 2/10 because Mark Ruffalo was the only good thing about this film otherwise it would have been a 0/10.
It's good for little kids but those 3D animated movies have much more depth than The Avengers. This movie could lower theirs and your IQ.… Expand
Jun 3, 2012This was the worst movie I have seen this year. I generally do not like comic book super hero films but this one really was dreadful. The plot was stupid, the acting was stupid, the aliens were stupid, the street scenes were stupid, and I was stupid for going. Captain America, give me a break! Why did Ruffalo and Renner appear in this piece of garbage? This is what audience crave? Thor and his hammer! God, I was sick to my stomach.… Expand
May 24, 2012I listened to everyone who raved about this movie and I was so disappointed. Boring with a capital B; I could generally anticipate everything that they were going to do, say, or have a big noise to surprize the audience. Even the visual effects was so predictable and the dialogue was straight out of Screenwriting 101. If you must see it, rent it on DVD so you can fast forward through all the endless exposition of people talking you to death.… Expand
Sep 12, 2012I usually give points for trying. I am not sure who tried to make this movie good, except critics and varied audiences. Extremely jerky plotline, at times it seems like I am watching a commercial for seven upcoming movies. In no way do any of the cast, save for Downey, represent what I would call acting. Johanssen is awkward to look at, seemingly too chubby to look viable as any sort of action actress, and again tends to float in and out of her lines. Hemsworth/Thor gives a good turn, yet he just isn't given much to work with. It is like watching a bad soap opera for teenage boys. Too silly and too cheesy to sit longer than a half hour through. I wanted to like this, set aside time and can pretty much say it falls flat.… Expand
Jun 18, 2012Stunning movie! Thumbs up to Mr Whedon and Mr Marvel who know how to put together a blockbuster, and for all you marvel followers who have seen this movie brace your self, the best is yet to come.
Jun 18, 2012The avengers is a shockingly plebian pleb fest designed exclusively for plebs.
It consists of two hours of the plebiest plebiancy you will ever witness with your plebian eyes.
I seriously hope you don't watch this movie, pleb.
Jul 20, 2012MI hermano lo vio y diji - que les pasa yo no quiero ver a hulk en bikini, yoprefiero ver el club de la pelea o algo asi- me imaginaba que no le gustaria por que brilla de infantil esta pelicula.
May 27, 2012I'm a Long time Whedon fan who was BORED BEYOND BELIEF. Can't believe the most commercially successful thing he's ever done is far-and-away his worst - oh, the irony. "Avengers" focused on everything that sucks about super-hero movies - absurd plot based on dumbest-ever world-threatening McGuffin, stupid villain, convenient-not-clever heroics. I don't hate the genre - I liked "Iron Man" and even "Capt America." But from the opening action sequence on, I just didn't care one iota about anything that was happening. Contemplated walking out after about 45 minutes and wish I had as it's an ENDLESS MOVIE and I'll never get those 2.5 hours back. I give Joss points for giving little girls someone to root for by making Black Widow a substantial member of the team and not the mere token chick. That there are about 3 good jokes, but none are worth the time and money. If you love Joss, watch Serenity again it's 10 thousand times better.… Expand
May 23, 2012Despite being billed as an action movie, The Avengers is painfully slow. Much of the plot involves the eponymous team fighting each other, though we all know going in that they will eventually team-up, so this lengthy attempt at conflict seems especially sluggish and misdirected. Robert Downey Jr. And Samuel L. Jackson both manage to pull focus and remind you you're watching a bad movie more than they usually do, which is saying something; and the cast is generally much too aware they are in a movie for it to work. Indeed, The Avengers is so remarkably unambitious they even manage to avoid developing some of the team's most notable members like The Scarlet Witch and The Vision, choices that would be mystifying if it wasn't so clearly a cynically half-hearted attempt at storytelling. Nevertheless, Chris Evans is still nice to look at.… Expand
Jun 10, 2012It is not good, but it isn't bad either. I don't like how according to the film no one died during the attack on New York. This film is nearly ruined because of that. I really do like Captain America though. I don't think that Chris Hemsworth is any good at playing Thor. I don't get the praise for the film, but maybe that's because I don't care about the comics and don't give a damn if every moment is filled with some fan boy's dream. Look, all I want is a good film.… Expand

Jun 3, 2012The 3-D Is Amazing And Epic!
We Want Somthing New Not Another Freaking Superhero Movie...
Jul 12, 2012This movie was very tasteless. There was not much of a story and when it started getting good it went right back down. I think it is just too many superheros for one movie. Many questions that came up for the things that just made nosense.
Jul 21, 2012Explosions and gags... Wrestlemania is better in this fields... Avengers is the worst movie of superheros of the history, because dont have story. Only Downey Jr. brings some emocion, all the rest are littles and poors.
Jul 21, 2012The story was horrid in this movie, it felt very lazy. There was never any inclination that the good guys could lose, or even injured; it made for a very flat, anticlimactic story. That's my biggest gripe, but not my only one. Even knowing the backstory of all the characters from previous movies, I just really didn't care about any of them in this one. The characters were written poorly and it was just compounded by the bad acting. Every scene that had Scarlett Johanson in it was painful to watch. The only character I was even remotely interested in was Bruce Banner / Hulk. This would be a great movie to take an 8 year old to. They would have no problem glazing over the shallow characters and lethargic plot.… Expand
Jul 25, 2012Avengers is for dumb people, or those that want to be entertained by a bunch of nonsense. We should ask more from Hollywood then the same retreads just on a larger scale.
Jul 27, 2012The best superhero movie ever? Not even close. Do NOT believe the hype with this film, it is simply a lot of hot air. Poor acting - check - there are a few brief moments mainly by Eric Banner
Poorly paced - check - unbelievably clunky beginning then into CGI battle after CGI battle - yawn.
Poor dialogue - check - this is my biggest annoyance. Whedon is meant to be great at dialogue. Where did it go so wrong here? Well this little line sums it up - whats the plan of attack? i have a plan. attack. Yeah its that cheesy. Some people are trying to defend the title of it being a mindless popcorn flick by trying to see things that are not there. This happens in any film where it really is as shallow as it looks. There are some nice glances between characters but it is all so contrived and unrealistic its hard to feel anything for it. When the characters are over being spoilt brats there is the coming together period which is meant to be one of the key character moments in an otherwise disappointing display. It's fair to say it falls short, again feeling contrived and unconvincing. DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE - this film is poor, at absolute best its around 4/10. I am giving it a 1/10 for a number of reasons. 1 - the number of 10/10 is ridiculous not many films deserve 10/10 and this film certainly does not. 2 - the hype lead me to believe this film would be incredible, its not, this caused great disappointment for me. As other top critics have said this film is shallow and a fun popcorn flick. If you like comic books then its almost certainly for you. If however you like intelligent film making with well developed characters which is well paced - go watch something else.… Expand
Sep 11, 2012Ok, the start was really slow and boring for me, some part were good, the acting was good, but it's just the actors seemed to made me board in this film but i did like them when they were in there own movies, most of the movie is on a ship, they is not much set changes in this film, the actor who plays the hulk was replaced by a bad actor. just this movie was very bad, i watched it like 10 times and as much as I've tried to like it i just don't like it… Expand
Mar 8, 2013A horrible movie, definitely did not deserve the money it made. I can't think of a lot of things that I actually liked about the movie, because there really aren't a lot. I was actually surprised at the story of the movie, it sounds like a mentally challenged child wrote it. The first ten minutes of the movie alone ruined it, it's just a horrible story that only idiots would like. The entire movie is pretty much just special effects and not much else. Unless you're one of those morons whose easily amused by the pretty lights on the screen, don't ever watch this movie.… Expand
May 27, 2013I don't like all characters, Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and antagonist. Their weaon, costume, armor is very unattractive. I don't like superhero movies. They are invincible, they always win easily. That is why I love protagonist from horror movies or mafia movie, the protagonist dies or survive. Protagonist who try to survive with kitchen knife, axe, or pistol with 3 bullets, like Erin from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.… Expand
Nov 27, 2013He did not like much. I expected much better. The film was highly overrated, no epic, no emotion, nothing was a cinch. People are very rare, then criticize the serious films like Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises, the truth is that this is awesome.
Nov 18, 2013I expected MUCH more from this movie, I could see a story in this film that really convinced me. I saw more special effects. El personaje de Iron Man, solo arrogancia, no se como les gusta a muchos, una mierda de pelicula
Oct 19, 2013I hate how marvel shows their heroes today, very violent and taking so many lives. they are too brutal and it's hard to view them as heroes especially when a huge part of marvel's fan base are children. They are viewed as gods and its ridiculous that they just take a life at will. Another thing that I hate is marvel is just being a copycat with this movie. With Loki purposely getting captured like the joker in the dark knight then destroying the air base from within just like how joker destroyed the police station. Another thing is the whole destroy the mothership and kill the whole army this is copied from Battle L.A. And Star Wars the phantom menace. Marvel is just a mediocre copycat company. They should be more original with the wonderful characters that they have.… Expand
Nov 29, 2013The truth is that neither film excited me at any time, lacks epic, awesome and it was very overrated. The truth donot like people I went crazy for this movie.
Dec 7, 2013I had never thought that I would see this kind of movie-franchise team up, and I have to congratulate Marvel for doing something that is now being copied by Sony and Fox (with their Spiderman and X-Men franchises). I mean; Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to fight aliens? What? Unfortunately, the first 45 minutes are kinda boring. The car chase in the beginning is boring. I personally think it's overrated. I liked Loki, but he and his army seem pretty weak. I just didn't enjoy this movie. HowevervI like the action.
Overall, I expected much better from Marvel.

Jan 17, 2013I obviously don't hold the popular opinion here, but to me this movie just didn't measure up. I've seen both Iron Man movies, Captain America, and many of the past Marvel movies including characters featured in this film, and I thought most if not all of them were better than this one. Maybe it's just that I've outgrown the more playful and mindlessly violent tone of these types of movies, but to me the movie just felt childish and simplistic. I realize that in a way, it's a great triumph seeing this crazy symphony of classic Marvel characters clashing with enemies and sometimes themselves, which in a way makes it the perfect superhero movie, but it just doesn't seem to create the same type of captivation one would expect from such an ordeal. It just feels goofy and undeveloped in a sense, unfortunately.… Expand
May 13, 2013I don't know if I'm missing something here. I felt like the Avengers had it's moments, but they were moments. The movie was predominantly stupid, which is frustrating. I watched the avengers act like children. I watched both the avengers, and the bad guys make dumb decisions. Hawkeye, you blew up one engine with an arrow. Why not blow up two, or three, or four? Oh, okay. You're going to hack the system to shut down the other one. Right. And I feel like this would be acceptable, if the film owned up to it. If there was some reason that being dumb was okay. But it didn't major plot twists were created, and solved on mistakes, jealousies, and blunders. That's a lot less fun than cleverness.… Expand
Feb 3, 2014Perfect example of an overrated movie. The saying "Less is more" applies here. There are too many super heroes in this film and none of them are used appropriately. The movie is also much longer than it needs to be. It never seems to end and for most of it, it is boring and forgettable. By the time the real action begins, you're already more than 3/4s into the film. This is a dumb stupid popcorn movie featuring a dumb stupid team of superheroes. Ironman on his own or Hulk on his own are great but throw them in with goody two shoes Captain America whose character is flat, boring and lifeless or Mr. Bulging Biceps Thor who isn't a super hero at all (He's a mythical God. Next time, the Avengers should recruit Zeus or Jesus Christ) and is the beefed up equivalent of Brandan Frasier's boy in a bunker and its just gets sloshed around into a muddled mess.… Expand
Jan 6, 2013Brainless action with no real story or character's development. The movie has tons of special effects and cgs but in the end it feels more like a colorful candy that is rotten inside. Almost complete garbage.
Apr 17, 2013Why. Why is there support for a bland film such as this? I'm telling you, it's just not that good. The characters are virtually the same. None of them have any real interesting characteristics or attributes that grabbed my attention other than Samuel L. Jackson simply because he is Samuel L. Jackson. Robert Downey Jr. and the other Avengers all act at the same level of social communication, but they jut have arguments in between to fool the audience that there is tension in the film. The villain is a laughable archetype in the movie, included with the most original lines such as "I will rule this world" and "The end of this world is nigh". 80% of the movie takes place on the airship with nothing to do but squabble and run into accidents. It's extremely boring, and the special effects and "classic comic lines" are not worth my time nor should they be worth anybody's. The Avengers does not deserve the praise it gets.… Expand
Dec 31, 2012This is a very silly movie that is Swiss-cheese full of holes. If your thing is Marvel comic books, and you really want to see eponymous figures from the various comics come together then... this is for you I guess (unless having heroes pointlessly bickering to create faux dramatic tension gets on your nerves).
Its got some spectacle I suppose. Silly spectacle that ultimately makes no sense (flying, invisible aircraft carrier that is vulnerable when flying, typically doesn't bother engaging invisibility, has nuclear missiles but can only launch them... from other aircraft... Hell the entire carrier almost gets taken out by an... exploding arrow... Christ). Get drunk if you are going to try and watch this film - it really, really helps.… Expand
Jan 24, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Avengers is a pitiful excuse of a movie. The film is so heavy on action sequences that plot, character development, and any good storytelling are just nonexistent. There is so much useless humor that the movie just drags on. The last battle seemed like it was half the entire movie and battle ended unnaturally quickly and with little effort but the avengers. Hawkeye and Black Widow, who are just human beings, seem to be able to take out huge aliens with guns with ease. The hulk, who said he could control his transformation by always being angry completely baffles me. If he is always angry and can control himself, then why did he transform when he was on the floating base. A highly overrated and completely terrible film.… Expand
Feb 9, 2013I still cannot believe I wasted my money on this, what a complete and utter waste of time! I am shocked by the fact people thought this movie was great. I mean the acting was poor, the screenplay was laughable and the directing was far from perfect. It's so sad that people don't know good movies anymore these days.
Jul 19, 2013todos los superheroes serie una peliculas de 10.00. horas sin embargo solo accion no rellena el vacio de lo monotono no es merecida de grandes cosas como son cada uno de sus heroes
May 19, 2013This movie is terrible the story is dog and I don't see why people buzz about it I turned it off after 40 mins and Loki come on why not red skull...
Oct 6, 2013I had been waiting to watch this movie, as it looked cool enough. I mean; Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to fight aliens? Awesome! Unfortunately, the first 45 minutes are kinda boring. I mean what good superhero movie starts with a pretty boring car chase and bland dialogue/scripts? I personally think it's pretty overrated. Cliched, predictable and shallow. I liked Loki though and liked the superheros fighting aliens.
However, there's also a lot of mistakes with the plot. For example, while Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are fighting, they leave Loki, their supervillain prisoner unattended. Also, SHIELD's entire Heli-Carrier is almost destroyed by one freaking arrow. All of The Avengers talk and pretend to have ear pieces even though they don't have any. Also, the Chitauri are nothing like they are in the comics. (And there's that annoying bickering between characters...) Overall, I expected much better from Marvel.

Dec 8, 2013A get together of superheroes should have been set more entertainingly. When you don't have a story good enough, even a lot of superheroes fail to keep you hooked. The Aviator might have sounded exciting on paper, but what I watched was a let-down. I take consolation in knowing that it worked out for the majority of its audience (purely going by the ratings shown here). Can't wait for the sequel!!! With all due respect, 1/5 sounds fair enough for the experience. Miss the good old days wherein I can picture myself enjoying this sort of movie.… Expand
Feb 27, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watch one of the most overrated piece of entertainment since call of duty, The Avengers. Watch one of the most forgettable superhero/ action movie of 2012. See one of the most basic story plots rip off other popular moments from other films E.g. The Dark Knight, Transformers, Star Wars and Power ranger? Watch the film that has terrible character development for all the characters except Tony Stark. See one of the worst Hulks and the worst actor to play Bruce Banner "Christ i almost mistook it for the BFG, i mean what the hell happened to Ed Norton". Watch how all these super hero movies can do what Christopher Nolan can do in just one film. "My god how the hell did this get so many good ratings".… Expand
Feb 1, 2014Mala muy sobre valorada, Joss Whedon puede ser bue guionista pero como director deja mucho que desear, la película es decepcionante y todos parecen niños desesperados por esta película. Una historia muy simple.
May 11, 2014Although, The Avengers is an entertaining, blockbuster, popcorn flick. It's not really too much more than that. It appears as though it's a film for 10 year olds. The plot is weak and there is nothing that really keeps you fixed to the screen. From an artistic perspective, The Avengers certainly wouldn't rank high in my books.
Aug 6, 2014Aburridísima. Pensé que no estaría mal juntar a tantos superhéroes pero el resultado fue una película con una primera hora llena de diálogos vacíos y chistes tontos (que alguien le pegue un tiro ya a thor y hulk, pensaba yo) y una segunda hora de acción que solo demuestra que lo único bueno de la peli son sus efectos. ¿En serio os gusta esto?
Películas para niños pequeños... Marvel las ha hecho mejores. Desastrosa.… Expand
The banter has zip, the effects are fun, the climactic battle is decently spectacular, and if the 3-D is mostly expendable, there are a few scenes where it adds a nice kick.
This mania is what Marvel followers have hungered for, and it would be fruitless to deny their delight. As Loki says to a crowd of earthlings, "It is the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation." We do, Master, we do.
They're fascinating characters, to be sure, with back stories ripe for development. But Whedon doesn't commit here, and the results are shrug-worthy.

Top officials at several U.S. retail gas companies reveal how they are rethinking their business models and developing new approaches to serve customers in the face of supply concerns and price...
Standard-Offer Service: Beauty or Beast?
In each major energy bill over the last few decades, Congress has acted to open up the wholesale electric power market by facilitating entry of new generators to compete with traditional utilities. … The Energy Policy Act of 2005 strengthened the legal framework for continuing wholesale competition as federal policy for this country. The Commission has acted quickly and strongly over the years to implement this national policy." 3
Given that it is the federal government and not any individual state that has jurisdiction over the PJM market and the promotion of wholesale competition, is there any role remaining for the Maryland PSC? There clearly is an important role: The Maryland PSC has stated its intentions to "continue to expand and elevate its presence as an advocate at FERC, PJM and in other forums on behalf of Maryland's energy future, reasonable rates, and fairness in the wholesale electricity markets." 4 This is an appropriate objective and a competitive wholesale market is crucial for the realization of fair prices at the retail level, whether the provider is the utility or a third-party generation supplier.
One recent example is the complaint filed by the Maryland PSC and several other parties at FERC ( Docket No. EL08-67 , May 30, 2008) concerning PJM's Reliability Pricing Model (RPM). (For related article, see Commission Watch, " Buyers Remorse .") The filing alleges: Capacity auctions at PJM have resulted in unreasonable rates (higher than those that would be produced in a competitive market or administratively determined under cost-based regulation); capacity auctions were extremely vulnerable to the exercise of market power; and existing generators will receive an unwarranted windfall. While it remains to be seen if there are any merits to the various issues raised in the complaint, it is certainly important for all interested parties to offer suggestions for improvements in market rules that will support efficient entry and pricing within the PJM wholesale market. However, while examining market rules to implement prospective changes is appropriate, it is unreasonable to seek any refunds for the bids that already have transpired; this is retroactive ratemaking and will, after-the-fact, change the compensation to parties that have made decisions to invest in capacity or demand resources based on the bid outcomes.
PJM reported in a May 15, 2008 news release that its auction for the planning year, June 2011 through May 2012, yielded a net increase in available resources of 4,238 MW of new generation and demand response. Constellation Energy recently announced that its Gould Street power plant, a 102-MW limited duty gas-fired plant, has returned to service after being idle for five years. The company stated on June 10, "Based on a new capacity market created last year by the PJM Interconnection … Constellation made the business decision to make the necessary investment to return the Gould Street plant to service. The new capacity market will help ensure sufficient generating capacity will be available in the future to meet times of high energy demand, and rewards electric generators for adding generating capacity that will be available during these 'peak' times."

The health of children and newborns is intimately connected to the well-being of mothers. In recognition of this, a global Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health was launched in 2005. By their first major assembly in 2007, the partnership was an alliance of some 120 other organizations with similar goals.
UNFPA has also teamed up with four partners, UNICEF, the World Bank, the World Health Organization and UNAIDS, to accelerate progress in saving the lives of women and newborns. Collectively known as the 'The Health 4+' or 'H4+', the five agencies have pledged to support countries with the highest maternal mortality rates.
The H4+ joined the Every Woman Every Child effort in 2010 to support to the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health. The agencies have helped countries to make commitments to this global initiative, and with the UN's MDG Advocates and partners, are supporting a group of countries—that together accounts for almost 60 per cent of global maternal deaths—to mobilize the financial, technical and human resources needed to meet their commitments.
Major collaborative initiatives:
- Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health
- UNFPA Campaign to End Fistula
- Columbia University's Averting Maternal Death and Disability
- Women Deliver Initiative
- Every Woman Every Child
Other key partners:
- United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
- The World Bank
- Healthy Newborn Partnership (HNP)
- Impact Initiative for Maternal Mortality Programme Assessment
- International Confederation of Midwives (ICM)
- International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)
- International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)
- Population Council
- The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood
Major donors:
- Austria
- Canada
- Columbia University's Averting Maternal Death and Disability programme with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
- France
- Iceland
- Johnson & Johnson
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- Norway

The cup (also chalice, goblet) is associated with the female forces in the universe: fertility, beauty, the womb, earth, emotion, love, compassion, receptivity, instinct, intuition and the subconscious mind. It is the receptacle of spiritual forces. It is associated with the element of water. Held upright, the cup is the open womb, ready to receive. Held inverted, it symbolizes birth and realization. The chief purpose for the cup in neo-pagan witchcraft is to assist in concencrating the circle, toast the gods, spellcasting, scrying, and ritual work.
Dragon Claw Goblet
Dragons are known for their power, force, beauty and grace. In mythology the legendary dragon has been known to hold magical powers for good and evil. This amazing goblet stands about 7.5 inches.

She may be a supermodel but Kate Moss still has the odd fashion crisis, can't bear to throw anything away and turns to husband Jamie for style-advice. Oh, and she has found out you can't walk a dog in heels.
As the current face of high street hero Mango, Mossy was in Barcelona last week to sit on the judging panel of the fourth Mango Fashion Awards. While she was there, Grazia's Polly Vernon was lucky enough to meet Croydon's finest for a one-on-one chat. In the latest issue of Grazia (out now!), we bring you the exclusive interview in full but in the meantime, we can tell you that Kate 'definitely' still gets excited about clothes and Sarah Burton gave her that gorgeous blue Alexander McQueen gown she wore in American Vogue, remember?
Brilliantly, the model dishes on her 'insane' wardrobe, which is organised into various sections per garment. What a dream! Also, now that she has a pet pup, Kate says she's dressing for Day rather than Night. Why? Because 'you can't do a dog in a heel!' As for whether getting hitched to Jamie Hince last year has affected her sense of style, the icon says her hubby 'would go mental' if she started dressing like a wife. Yep, this girl is rock n roll through and through.
From more from Kate's interview with Grazia, pick up the new issue and to see Mossy in action, watch the video below...
How does it feel to be a judge?
Kate Moss: Honoured, it's really nice to be here. It's great they're supporting all these young designers
Who was your guardian angel when you first started out?
Kate Moss: My agent, I'm still with them after a very long time. They discovered me and they were always there.
So what are the components to a brilliant designer?
Kate Moss: They obviously have to have passion, imagination and determination. It's a tough business, I think always believe in themselves. Originality is obviously important as there are so many people who want to do it.
So what's the most important ingredient? Huge creative vision or well-made clothes that sell?
Kate Moss: Both. You have to capture people's imaginations and then it leads into the daily lives of those amazing shows that feature the clothes but you can wear them in everyday life.
So which of the iconic designers you've worked with have that magic?
Kate Moss: [John] Galliano shows, always. They were like magic theatre.
How does it feel to be known constantly as a fashion icon?
Kate Moss: I don't really think about it, I couldn't. If I thought about it I wouldn't be able to get dressed in a morning. I just wear what I feel like wearing.
So in a sentence what are your thoughts on Mango as a brand?
Kate Moss: Mango is amazing because they are supporting the young designers who will eventually be working for massive companies like Mango.
So if you were going to give an award for style who would it be?
Kate Moss: Julie Christie or someone like that.
