I don't think he was. He was pretty impressive actually. While the thor movie showed his abilities with mjolnir, avengers showed that even without mjolnir, he could still manhandle his opponents. The only reason Hulk hit thor was because thor stopped dodging and was trying to reason with him. Hulk has to be shown a little stronger than thor because that is all hulk has. But anyone who isnt hulk obsessed could see that thor was portrayed as the most powerful and would've easily handled hulk had he been fighting and not trying to contain him.
Guys dont you think avengers movie Thor is TOO weak???

No, he wasn't too weak and here's why:
- Broke out of a cell meant to contain the Hulk
- Able to hold back an overhead strike from Hulk.
- He was still more powerful than Iron Man at 400% (was crushing his armor, a headbutt sent him flying)
- One uppercut with mjlonir launched Hulk.
- Used lightning to block the entire portal entrance, and in turn, destroy multiple enemies.
Just because Whedon didn't have him solo everything doesn't mean he wasn't powerful.
I could care less about how 'powerful' Thor is. I care about how strong he is because from day 1 he was first and foremost a melee character. I'm totally ok with Hulk being 'a bit' stronger than Thor. If Thor appears 75% - 90% as strong as the Hulk I'm having a good day. At that level, combined with the striking power of Mjolnir Thor should be able to stand toe-to-toe with Hulk in pure melee terms and likely have an edge due to 1000 years of fighting experience. But I'm just not seeing that. I'm seeing Thor at maybe 50% of Hulks strength (before Hulk gets angrier). I'm seeing Hulk take Thor's best Mjolnir shot and jump up angrier and, of course, stronger. I believe that I saw Thor past the point of resisting when Hulk 1 hand picks him up. I'm seeing Thor needing to jump out of the way of bullets while Hulk stands and roars at them. And I just can't picture for a second Thor taking down a crocodile ship the way Hulk did or any way that didn't involve his 'all-powerful' lightening. I see Thor punching Iron Man in the head and Iron Man taking it standing; he should have at least been knocked on his a$$. Yes, Thor's headbutt > Iron Man's headbutt, but Iron man took exactly zero seconds to recover so it couldn't have phased him at all (400% power makes Iron Man more durable????). Can you picture for a second Iron Man taking a standing punch from Hulk? Or taking zero seconds to recover from a Hulk headbutt. So yes, Thor is waaaaayyyy too weak. So weak that the 50 year Hulk-Thor rivalry is effectively over as Thor simply cannot hang with him (without calling upon his all powerful lightening - what is he, a Wizard?). Maybe if Thor fans are lucky the next 5 years can be an Iron Man - Thor rivalry,...until Iron man gets his new fancy extremis armour. Too weak to call himself a 'God of Thunder'.

@Kallarkz said:The majority of Thor fans (including some of the more delusional ones on this site) only enjoy Thor's character for his powers. He and Storm deserve better fans.
Agree with everything here.
Wow ok. Looks like the jury has spoken based on @k4tzm4n's post. So I'm just a crazy Thor fan, I get it. @k4tzm4n has a slam-dunk case and everybody agrees that none of the following makes Thor look physically weaker than concensus expects: 1. Thor does need to get out of the way of bullets. 2. Iron Man shouldn't fall down from a direct head shot from Thor. 3. Iron Man shouldn't be hurt in any way by a headbutt from Thor. 4. Thor needs 2 hands to block Hulks 1-hand (anyone see BRB in Planet Hulk? or Hulk-Thor in Ultimate Avengers) 5. Thor with Hammer after a short (historically speaking) fight with the Hulk is 1-hand manhandled by the Hulk.......and this is all we expect from Stan Lee's #1 God-hero? And,...... Thor the god,...Thor the arrogant,...and Thor's power level are completely separate in the building of his character. Face-palm. I give up. Obviously he broke a glass box so he must be powerful.
@Thorite: 1. Thor has been shown to not be bullet-proof in the comics for a looooong time now so that wasn't anything new. 2. Depends on how hard Thor hit him. Did you know that Ironman has beaten Thor (as well as Hulk and Silver Surfer) in the comics? He's not some chump. And, when Thor was angry, he casually swatted Tony away like it was nothing. Did you miss that part? 3. Did you not se that huge dent in Tony's helmet from the headbutt? Or notice the difference in how Thor was affected by IM's head-butt as opposed to how Tony went flying? 4. Yes, a fully enraged Hulk IS stronger than Thor and is typically shown as such in the comics. Your percentages are pure speculative and can't possibly be calculated, especially when we know Thor was holding back. 5. Yes, he was man-handled. Have you not seen comic Thor vs. Hulk when Thor doesn't have his hammer? He gets WORKED! This, again, is nothing new.
1. Whaaat? He's currently not bullet proof in the comics? You're kidding right? I mean, there was always that 1960s comic where Thor hid in a bush because a bunch of guys had guns, but that was right up there with the Hulk getting chocked unconscious by a snake in terms of consistency. Other than a couple of silly low end showings Thor has tanked things much more powerful than guns. Thanos' eyebeams, Silver Surfer's power cosmic, Hulk's punches,... 2. Iron Man's no chump but I don't think that I've ever seen or heard of Iron Man beating Thor in any type of media. Please direct me to such. If you've seen the Ultimate Avengers DVD (2006 ish) Thor-Iron Man's relative power levels are portrayed in what I consider consistent with the 60s,70,80s,90s comics. Iron Man's a top quartile Avenger, but the gap is very large. 3. Yes, Thor swatted Iron Man with his hammer and generally banged up his armour. Thank goodness for that. I actually loved the fight between them and the movie in general. Just pointing out that a Hulk-Iron Man fight wouldn't have lasted more than a few seconds. 4. The issue is that Thor has, for 4 out of 5 decades, been every bit as good as Hulk in melee combat. Some of the time he has been as strong or stronger than the Hulk (60s/70s). Some of the time he has been almost as strong as the Hulk but combined with fighting skills and Hammer he remains equal or possibly greater in melee (80s, 90s and even as recent as Hulk Annual 2001). In the last decade or so Thor is written as an absolute chump and Hulk appears to be far, far stronger than Thor to the point of no contest: Hulk vs Thor DVD, RULK vs Thor, Avengers EMH, Hulk-Let the battle begin (where Hulk does that 'why are you hitting yourself?' game that an adult can do to a child. All of these recent showings are a major departure from the past. Which, of course, is Marvel's right to do. Still if they're going to change his powers (not strong anymore, just powerful) I really feel that they should just do a complete redo of the character, like they did in the Ultimates. If Hulk's going to be way more powerful and Iron Man's going to be nearly as powerful, then stop making Thor a god. Stop making him sound superior as he gets his a$$ handed to him over and over and over again. This thread has the actual comic scans for most of the Hulk-Thor confrontation over the years without any fanboy biased, out-of-context conclusions that most other sites always have. http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/citizenbane/thor-and-hulk-what-really-happened-and-what-would-really-happen/87-79889/ So, based on this, I do somewhat dispute your claim that Thor gets man-handled without his hammer. Yes, bit by bit, Thor steadily loses ground until the conclusion of the fight is obvious. But in 4 of 5 decades he's never been past the point of resisting like he was in the Helicarrier battle. So yes, Thor losing like this to Hulk is 'new' at least under the lens of 5 decades of Marvel comics.

in the first Thor movie early on when he was fighting the frost giants, he did some kind of lightning strike which cause an massive earthquake, then they seemed to have toned down his strength to just flipping cars in the avengers movie, I mean he probably would have seemed too powerful compared to the rest of them otherwise, apart from the hulk, honestly just the two of them would have done the job, but yeah Thor was weaker or was holding back despite looking beat to hell in the avengers.
(causing an earthquake - to - flipping a car over )
In the Thor TDW prelude comic , it mentioned Thor being weakened by Odin's dark energy when he was sent to earth to find Loki during the time of the Avengers movie.
Going somewhat off memory here but I cant say thats accurate. IIRC it was stated that Odin was not sure Thor would survive the process but he wasnt stated to be weakened afterwards and it certainly wasnt implied that he was in a weakened state during his time on Earth.

Well, I imagine Thor will have a run like Harry Potter. His powers will continue to increase in his solo movies after the Avengers trilogy is finished.
It's the standard "niche" problem that occurs in team movies. When several characters share the same power niche or talents niche, all but one of them get de-emphasized so that there is only one person per niche.
In this case, since The Hulk's only niche is punching things out, Thor's strength ends up de-emphasized in the film. However, Iron Man is the hero of the film and gets priority, and his two niches are flying and zapping (with his pulsar beams), so Thor's flying and zapping (with lightning) also end up de-emphasized in the film. Captain America has only leadership as a niche now that Black Widow has taken his other niche of reading people (as when she tricks Loki into revealing his plan), so Thor's warrior wisdom ends up de-emphasized as well. With his niches of strength, flying, zapping, and warrior wisdom de-emphasized, all Thor is really left with is his Asgardian heritage, which is why his spotlight moments in the film center almost exclusively on trying to redeem Loki and on looking godly while summoning the lightning.
Joss Whedon clearly shows favoritism for The Hulk/Banner, Iron Man/Stark, and The Black Widow/Romanov in the film, and he clearly doesn't have quite as much of an idea what to do with Captain America/Rogers and Thor/Blake; one wonders whether he will know what to do with Hawkeye/Barton.
There's also, of course, the truism that it's just not safe to be a god in any of Whedon's projects, as Whedon is an atheist who takes amusement in knocking down gods a peg (and does so in a way which amuses his audience as well). It's unlikely that poor Thor will ever appear as impressive in a Whedon film as he does in films with other creative individuals at their helms.

@shazam117: yeah but his toe to toe with the Hulk was not what it has been in the comics or the cartoon. In the comics they have embraced and locked arms with neither one able to move the other while the Hulk was enraged with his strength growing. They made Thor weaker...they made Hulk look stronger and he isnt. In that fight Thor even jumped out of the way of the bulletd being fired from the fighter jet...

Pretty sure it's shown in a tie in comic that Thor was weakened during The Avengers due to Odin using "dark energy" to send him to Earth cause he crash lands pretty hard, (again!) and Sif wonders if he survived due to his weakened state. TV Tropes character page for Thor in the MCU has more info.
What has he shown to suggest hes weak, Solod a bunch of SHIELD agents while depowered, matched Huk in strength, took out half of Lokis army by himself, wrecked the Destroyer, and stood up against a infinity gem. Plus Thor 3 is looking to have Surtur in it. The only thing id say thats bad about him is his speed
@cgoodness: true, if his fight with IM showed anything, it's that he's got the strength and sheer power, but IM's got the speed and versatility.
He's clearly the most powerful all round Avenger (Hulk may be more physically but he doesn't have the flexibility).
Who cares if he's not up to the level of his comic version? Its all relative. Its not necessary to have movie characters do silly stuff. Any yes, any time you start talking "planetary" feats, you are talking incredibly silly concepts.

Dont mean to stir things up but in the MCU it seems Hulk is intended to be at least as powerful as Thor, going by statements from Whedon et al. Apparently thats why we see the Hulkbuster armour/fight - the Avengers need something to try and stop a beserk Hulk.
That said, for the most part they are supposed to clearly be the big guns (a la the scene where they take down the Leviathan together) and theres still a fair amount of ambiguity.
@fifthchild: considering Thor took out more Chitauri forces with 1 lightening shock then all of the other Avengers combined, it doesn't really matter what Whedon says. Thor also took on a stone user by himself which required another MCU team to do so (not that either were well written fights but w.e)
not really the point of my post anyways. Thor's plenty powerful.
Hulk has to be shown a little stronger than thor because that is all hulk has.
You made an interesting quote. I never thought of it like that.

As an attack with a wide area of effect Thor's lightning is far more suitable to take out a ton of lesser characters. That doesnt necessarily make him more powerful though.
By Thor taking on "a stone user" I assume you mean his melee fight with Loki? Thats not exactly the point of reference I would be using to argue that Thor is more powerful than Hulk...
Anyway I agree that Thor is plenty powerful in the MCU.
@fifthchild: I meant Malekith with the Aether. He took him on by himself. It took the entire GotG team to fight Ronan and they never really even fought him. (both ultimately won by PIS, but at least Thor went toe to toe with Malekith for quite some time)
but since we agree, no need to continue debating lol

Yes he seems a bit weak but only time will tell when we will see his true powers. If anything he is holding back and once Ragnarok gets released I think we might be seeing a new more improved Thor One that is not going to stalemate Iron Man or even let himself get handed that easily, One that is not going to get trounced by the Hulk, and one who is not going to let Loki get the best of him.

Both Hulk and Thor have been toned down for the films. Just look at the roster around them. The Iron Man armor is pretty powerful but compared to Thor and Hulk he wouldn't last more than a few rounds. I thought Whedon found a nice balance for both. Both Thor and Hulk had moments in the film where they knocked out entire flying ships on their own and made mincemeat of the cannon fodder soldiers. If they were portrayed in the films as they are in the comics, there would be no need for Cap, Widow and Hawkeye really. In Thor's skirmishes with Iron Man and Hulk they were exactly that, skirmishes. None of the characters really wanted to "kill" the other (except maybe Hulk as he was starting to get pissed off). Thor was annoyed with Iron Man and was trying to contain Hulk rather than really hurt him. I think Whedon portrayed a much more effective Thor than Alan Taylor did in "The Dark World" (where Thor actually did look like a chump).
Until the Avengers roster adds other powerful characters (Scarlet Witch and maybe Dr. Strange), Hulk and Thor will have their moments but to a limit. Otherwise their teammates will look useless.

Ok. I give. Plum golds.
So I've been reading Plumgolds for years. Never bothered to look because I couldn't figure out why some of these kitchen would want to add plum and gold accents.
Recently, I connected my dyslexia (usually just with numbers) to Plug molds and thought, "ohhhoooohhhh. Ahhh HA!"
One of the benefits of having no money and taking things slowly is the ability to change my mind. I have an electrically useful kitchen. i.e. I have quad outlets everywhere vs. singles. I incorporated switches and outlets into one box, so I didn't have a zillion things on my back wall. But electrically my kitchen is in this millennium.
I think it needs to take the next step. Ok, that would be finishing my cabinets, but a girl can dream, right!?!
Now... for the rest of the outlets, I want plugmolds. Gotta have them.
I'm going to look into how much my electrician will charge me to convert the outlets to plug molds (I keep wanting to type plumgolds) instead. He put them in in the first place, so a little change (insert belly laugh, "Little! HAHAHAH") won't be a big deal. I can only afford him to come every couple years, so may as well add this to the list.
I have broken my cardinal rule and posted before searching. Now I'm off to look at every single thread involving Plug. Molds. Not plumgolds.
Off I go.
Here's a probably ridiculously stupid question: Anyone wish they had big ol' outlets in the middle of their back splashes!
Didn't think so.
Hahaha, that is funny!! Those darn plugmolds caused me more stress in my remodel than most other things! My contractor wasn't familiar w/using them and the electricians didn't feel like taking the time to figure out how to use them without me having to make sacrifices on the way they were installed. Anyway, I have them now and love them. However, they are NOT cheap, which I wasn't aware of before I insisted on having them. The actual plugmolds themselves are pricey and the electricians charged me a small fortune. I kept one regular outlet where I keep my coffee maker so I wouldn't see a cord hanging down. But other than that I don't keep anything on my counter that plugs in, something to think about.
I have angled plumgolds aka plugmolds - I do think it is impossible to type this word correctly. My fat finger syndrome has trouble typing certain words.
I started out with all PM(easier to type) and got cold feet, so added a few outlets where switches were needed.
If I had realized that there was such a thing as the laser disposal switch on the sink - I would have nuked that one.
I also would have nuked the one in my baking area and done without a second UCL switch.
The only helpful wall one is in the corner and my DH keeps his coffee pot and grinder plugged in.
These are standard plug mold mounted on an angled piece of wood. I also wish I had gone with white but at the time, I though black would be more hidden (and didn't realize the underside of the cabs would be lighter than the cabinets.
If you plug in items all of the time and know where you use these items - then a wall mount would work so no "pigtails"
Another view
Look Ma - no plugs!
I would love to nuke this one!
Close up of the plug mold
By code - I would have needed 3 outlets along this wall - and as I said above - I would nuke the one if I could have done it over
There is a wall outlet and switch hiding behind the mixer - again, I would have nuked this one as well.
I have outlets in the middle of my backsplash by choice. I am not tall, but I'd still have to duck down to see a plug that was mounted right under the upper cabinet, and that would annoy me to no end. (Not quite brave enough to plug something into an electrical outlet by feel...) There are also undercab lights up there. We leave only one appliance (coffeemaker) out on the counter, so trailing cords wouldn't be a problem for us; but some people don't like seeing them.
My backsplash is white tile and my outlets and covers are white, so it all blends in. But I would have put outlets in the middle of the backsplash regardless of color, just for the ease of use. (I plug and unplug things every day.)
I won't apologize for small appliances on my counters, four of which are plugged in at all times (toaster, coffee maker, coffee grinder, Nespresso). Outlets mid-backsplash are mostly hidden by the appliances themselves. I would not care for cords hanging down.
Now if only you could choose the color of the cord.
I read about people keeping appliances on their countertops. It's a novel idea for me, given I choose to store (ready?) Piles and PILES of crap instead. Building materials, stain & paint, cabinets to be hung, stuff that should BE in the cabinets I've already hung, etc.
I have an espresso machine plugged in on my one and only workspace. Even when my counters are actually clean, I still seem to use only the 24" counter between my fridge and sink. The espresso machine takes up its space.
I don't like cords. When die and go to hell, it will be those, the smoking section, acid rock or mariachi bands, freezing cold, refried beans and guacamole with mushrooms, and someone telling me over and over, the same story about their brilliant kid and repeatedly telling me how the school system is against him because she knows her kid and her kid wouldn't..... Ok. I'll stop. I'll be tangled in cords and won't be able to get away.
However, I also don't like cords on the counter getting icky and having to wipe them down when I actually clean.
I like the idea of a smooth backsplash rather than the outlets. The idea of lower outlets is good.
I'm kind of wondering if there isn't a really nice plug mold that would go along the bottom of the back splash for the best of both worlds.
As far as color? I've become a believer in priming and chalk paint with a poly acrylic on it. Amazing stuff! I've been testing switch plates and outlets and so far, I can't scratch the paint. Given I don't plug/unplug a lot of things, somewhere this treatment might come in handy. That also means I wouldn't be shy about painting a cord I'm never going to touch, such as my espresso machine cord.
Ok, I'm wandering in my head. It's a lonely place.
I'm off to work on my cabinet doors. I've moved back into the kitchen after 6 weeks of MBR cabinets. yeah!
Hahaha.... ahhhh. Plum golds.
Well, not only DON'T I have plum golds but I also didn't think to tell DH to keep the outlets low so I'll have stinkin' outlets right in the middle of the whole shebang.
I asked him if there was anyway to change it at this late date and he just kinda gazed into the distance so I dropped it.
But, you go for it, girl!
Christine, taking things slowly is a good thing. I've become a firm believer in a 6-12 month GW kitchen forum education before even starting a new kitchen. Either that or stay off the forum once your kitchen is done.
I have the outlets in my backsplash even though all my walls were open & I could have done plug molds or placed them low & horizontal.
Just looked in my corner cabinet this morning & realized I have a lazy susan, not a super susan. It is a big improvement over my old lazy susan but still...
How could I have missed that?
Now, I need to pay to have my Blum soft close runners removed & have heavy duty ones installed.
I was on GW a good 6 months but I was spending my time obsessing over which white to use, hinges or no hinges, cabinet hardware, inset with or without bead.
There's more I wish I would have known to do but thankfully, I can't remember.

I suppose that plugmold along the joint between wall and counter would be too vulnerable to water? Otherwise it is a fab idea.
I would have been quite happy with the receptacles place horizontally and low -- in fact, told my guys that was what I wanted. They clearly didn't grasp the concept because they so didn't do that.
Romy, why would you pay someone to do that for you?
Get the appropriate runners and just swap them out! The hard part is done: the holes where you should screw them in are already there. Check into A H Turf, who has THE lowest prices on these babies. I'm here to tell 'ya!
Yes, 6-12 months is great. When you're lucky, as I am, you'll get 2-10 years. I'm heading on 8 years now, and no end in site. But that's for my whole house. I know, though. Anyone who whines about several months, or is proud of a 2-month renovation? I just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh (and the neighbors call the loony bin) and laugh...
I went through that initially, though. Just looking at the imagined finished picture, vs. the mechanics of all. Again, thanks to poverty, I've had the time to reconsider, change my mind, adjust, discard, and dream a lot.
I'm familiar with mocket sockets. I used to install them in conference room tables when I was an IT manager. If they weren't plastic (are they anymore?) they'd be a good choice. The thing is, liquid/spills would go right down them.
Good idea, gratela!
Raee, I'm thinking that little part of a counter that goes up the wall a little? Do we not use them anymore? (Worrying that I should be looking down my nose at that!?)
ahh. It's all in the future.
I start a 2nd job tomorrow to try to catch up on 8 months of zero to no income. It'll be a while!
My mother put plugmold in the kitchen when I was a teenager (circa 1975). It was placed about 6" above the lovely gold/brown countertop in a one color fits all tan. Oh and the backsplash, a lovely silver plastic 4x4 is still there along with the counters and plugmold. I put plug mold in my kitchen - almond in color - and placed it under the cabinet. Little did Mom know she was a revolutionary kitchen gal!
gretela, great idea and easier to match tile. The box stores sell the clear switches that are meant to have wallpaper behind them so the wallpaper doesn't get damaged so why can't the pic of the tile work? I never understood why people don't paint their outlets or switches, To me at least they stand out like wall "acne"" - taking the liberty of someone's reference to recessed lights as being "ceiling acne". Once and a while they might need a touch up but well worth the glaring boxes that are screaming "see me" in the midst of what are usually fab backsplashes or gorgeous paint jobs. IMHO
I have one strip to the right of my sink, and we keep the coffee maker and rice cooker plugged in all the time.
I kept reading about how expensive it was, but I did not find it to be bad at all. I bought a strip at HD, and while it was certainly more than a regular outlet, it wasn't crazy. I got a direct wire strip, and my GC just wired it in with a shallow junction box under the counter and we were set.
Here is a link that might be useful: PM at HD

Looking forward to those pics......I think come late August or September I'll have to take a shot at this brew, sounds tasty.

On May 27th of 2007 Good Riddance played their last show ever to a sold out crowd in their hometown of Santa Cruz, CA. Being one of Fat's longest running bands, we thought it only proper to document the evening in the form of a LIVE RECORD. The set list reads more like a greatest hits album, mixing the best of the band's 12+ year career and touching on favorites from each of their seven full lengths on Fat, EP's and 7"s. The final product truly captures the energy present in the room that night and is a perfect final chapter for Good Riddance. We posted the third and final mp3 from the record here and we are running a BIG SALE on their back catalog releases. This band is single-handedly responsible for kick-starting Floyd's acting career and we are going to miss them. Singer, Russ Rankin, had these comments about the release:
On a hectic day in late May 2007 one of the most exhausting and exhilarating chapters in my life came to a close. We'd played San Diego the previous night and with a set list of almost 30 songs, my voice was starting to go on strike. We had to be at the venue in Santa Cruz early for extra sound checks due to the live recording so I found myself leaving my hotel room in Hollywood around 6:00am for the 6 hour drive north. I was exhausted (hadn't gotten back to Hollywood after the San Diego show until about 3:00am the previous night) and very concerned about my voice. After a whirlwind load-in and soundcheck the show finally got underway. As was expected the guest list was a nightmare and we weren't happy about the barricade in front of the stage but the show ended up going off just about as flawlessly as one could hope for. As the last note of the final song echoed and decayed into the still, night air I was overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude for what we were able to achieve and experience during the band's career. It was an emotional moment for me and it served to punctuate an unforgettable evening and a bittersweet event for the band and thousands of our fans. All I can say is "Thank You" to everyone who supported us through the years and I hope you enjoy this documentation of our final show.
PS: Don't forget about our GIANT T-SHIRT SALE! Almost all of our shirts are only $7!
Fuse TV is going to be airing a series of documentaries on NOFX starting on April 15th at 10pm EST. Here is a statement from the band…
*So we got the bright idea to take two camera dudes on this sketchy tour we booked and make a documentary. We went to Singapore, Peru, Israel, South Africa, Turkey, Korea; you get the ideaâ¦countries where maybe punk music isn't too popular.
After a few weeks we realized there's way too much semi-interesting, sorta funny, kind of embarrassing stuff going on. How are we gonna fit all this on a DVD? So we thought maybe TV? Nah, thatâs never gonna happen—weâre not nearly as funny as Travis Barker. But we made a little trailer anyhow and showed it to some of our friends at Fuse. They loved it and showed it to some of their bosses. Their bosses didnât get it at all and told us they would call. We knew what that meant, so it was back to the DVD idea.
We kept the camera dudes on tour with us for the next year and some pretty cool stuff happened. Well…not cool for us, but cool for the DVD. Stuff like not getting paid, cops shutting down shows, Muslims getting pissed at us, Jews getting pissed at us, scoring the wrong drugs, getting beat up by Japanese women in latex, getting beat up by a Russian man in a pointy hat and basically having a super great time.
We finished the tour in South Africa and came home. We figured we might as well show it to the Fuse people again. (We showed it to HBO too, and they told us that maybe if we were U2 they would consider it…diss.) By this time Fuse had hired new people and the new folks loved it. They said they wanted to make it into a documentary series. Coolage! We signed the papers and now we have a TV show.
After months and months of editing and fighting amongst ourselves, we have 8 episodes of a show, but after you account for commercials it's only about the length of a really long movie. Think Titanic meets Spinal Tap. NOFX never had a video on MTV, but now we have a documentary on TV. Weird how things work out. Anyhow, it comes out in April sometime. My neighbors are never going to speak to me again.*
Alright, this is our big shot to get signed and we really feel that this is the year! Yeehaw! We've got a handful of Fat bands appearing at this year's South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX and here are all the details:
The Flatliners @ The Wave (Rooftop)
NOFX (1am), Dead To Me (12am) and The Flatliners (10pm) @ Red 7 (Myspace presents)
Dead To Me (2:30pm) @ Red 7 (Shirts for a Cure show)
NOFX (8:50pm) and Dead To Me (7:25pm) at Waterloo Park – Second Stage (Mess With Texas Party) / Free show, all ages!
PS: Time to get Trashed! This classic colored LP goes on sale tomorrow!
We have just posted all the tour dates and ticket links for the Northwestern leg of the Fat Tour 2008 featuring NOFX, No Use For a Name and American Steel! You might be looking at the list below and think "That's a pretty short leg" but sometimes things with a short leg are completely killer like those freaky mountain goats or Rivers Cuomo. Besides, he got that shit fixed after the Blue Album and try telling me how somebody with normal, boring legs could write a song as good as "Say It Ain't So." We're going to post the first mp3 from the upcoming No Use for a Name record next week to get you ready for the start of the first leg of the tour. We're cooking up some cool road diaries, podcasts, videos and contests for the tour and we'll let you know about those soon. Here's the dates:
May 2nd Denver, CO - The Fillmore Auditorium May 3rd SLC, UT - In the Venue May 4th Missoula, MT - TBA May 6th Edmonton, Alberta - AgriCom - Hall B May 7th Calgary, Alberta - MacEwan Hall Ballroom May 9th Vancouver, BC - Commodore Ballroom May 10th Seattle, WA - Showbox Sodo May 11th Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom
Happy Super Tuesday! If your state is having their primary today then you better go vote. If not then I guess just do whatever the hell you usually do and call it "Tuesday".
Build & Burn is the second full length release from Philadelphiaâs, The Loved Ones. The album was produced by Pete Steinkopf and Bryan Keinlen from the Bouncing Souls and features cameos from the Hold Steadyâs Franz Nicolay (piano, Hammond B3 organ, harmonica, accordion, saw) and Tad Kubler (guitar). The new record hints at Americana rock nâ roll with expanded instrumentation, plenty of backing vocals and a thematic concept based on the album title. The band will soon be filming a video for the song "The Bridge" but until then you can catch them on the first leg of their US tour on the East Coast or even at one of their after parties. In their 6th studio video update (below) the band is on a constant search for "The Boss" but they could have just asked us for El Hefe's phone number and saved themselves some time.

Minister's Corner: The Crown of Creation
Psalm 8
"O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth."
These are the first and last words of Psalm 8. The psalms are full of wonderful, poetic language and this beginning and ending is a good example. This sentence establishes so much in such a few words. God is Lord—Lord of creation, Lord of the universe, Lord of the world. Equally important, God is David's Lord—and ours. When we pray this psalm we acknowledge God as Lord of our lives.
David looks at the heavens, the sun, moon and stars, and stands amazed at God's care for humankind. "What are we humans that you value us so? Why should we be so important? Why have you given us so much?"

I'm seeming to have run into an issue in creating s stock chart.
I have a simple data set in Access of 1 stock, with price data (double) and a each day listed as date/time.
So when I load the data source into C#, the data come into my chart smoothly. But instead of seeing all the data (from 1980-present), I just want to see the data shown on the graph to default to 1yr ago - present, and thereafter I want be able to change the range of data that's shown.
I put in to 2 date/time pickers, 1 for beginning, 1 for the end range.
but when I declare the dates picked- and set them to a variable name- then have the chart x axis min and max set to those respective values, I run into a 'type is not double' issue. Even though the chart axis is set to date/time...
Can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks Pol;
I see a barley crusher and a squirt bottle in my future
4 sprays was about .1oz
I used .3oz on 1 pound of malt.
Truely, it is amazing, you cannot even fathom the difference, the photos dont do it justice.
Does this require a specific mill, an adjustable mill, etc.? The results look incredible and I would like to try this on my Malt Mill, but it is the non-adjustable variety.
Thanks for the pics. That's awesome.

Conditioning also helps to keep the dust down.
I measure out my water and then add it while mixing with my other hand. I find that by conditioning, the malt does swell ever so slightly, but enough such that I have to open my gap a smidge to keep the belt drive from slipping. I also now routinely double crush and can get a quite fine crush and still have mostly intact husks. The second crush is with a narrower gap.
I use a pump to do my vorlauf and then to drain the MLT and with the nice big husk pieces, I can drain it fairly fast with no danger of a stuck sparge.
Well, I guess if its better I'll have to go get a grain mill just so I can spray down the grains before they're crushed...
Hey Pol,
What is your reasoning behind having/wanting such high efficiency? It seems to me that tannins aside, you are getting more than just sugar out the higher the efficiency. Does your beer taste any different than 70-80%? You are a bit far away for a sample and critique, so I have to just go from what you say. Just interested.

What are some Full shade Mediterranean Plants
vikingboy2013September 24, 2011
I'm planning on what to plant in the flowerbeds on the sides of a stairway that leads to my front door. I do not get a lot of rain here and the Mediterranean theme would go well with the architecture of my house. I'm planting lavender, rosemary, thyme, bay laurel, citrus, and some bougainvillea. The problem is that 2 feet away from the entrance none of the beds get sun all day, so that area is full shade. What can I plant here that requires little watering and tolerates full shade but also goes with the Mediterranean theme? I'm interested in shrubs or tall plants for an architectural accent.

The official death toll from the typhoon is expected to keep rising — thousands are still missing. Aid continues to come into the Philippines from around the world, but its flow is being hampered by poor logistics. The central government is being blamed for not doing more.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hogs hog spotlight at CFL combine
Crop of offensive linemen particularly good this year
TORONTO -- They came into the CFL combine as the top prospects and Pierre Lavertu and David Foucault didn't do anything Sunday to diminish that standing.
The two offensive linemen capped the weekend with solid performances in the one-on-one drills at Varsity Stadium although Foucault, who was battling the flu, also showed he was human. The 6-8, 300-pound tackle was knocked on his backside in a one-on-one matchup with Western defensive end Dylan Ainsworth, who gave up six inches and 75 pounds on the Montreal Carabins offensive lineman.
"He did the bullrush and kicked my ass,'' Foucault said with a chuckle. "I was too high in my stance and he took advantage of my weakness.
"It was a good experience here to see all the best guys in Canada as well as the CFL teams. It was a good weekend.''
Lavertu, a 6-3, 300-pound lineman from Laval, and Foucault finished the season ranked second and third, respectively, on the CFL scouting bureau's top-15 prospects for this year's draft. McGill tackle Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who ended up No. 1, didn't attend as he'll hold his pro day in Montreal next week for both NFL and CFL officials.
That left the offensive line contingent with three of the remaining four top-ranked players -- Simon Fraser's Matthias Goossen ended the year at No. 5. The other was fourth-ranked St. Francis receiver Devon Bailey.
Ottawa Redblacks scout Miles Gorrell, who played 19 CFL seasons as an offensive lineman, gushed about the O-line talent at the combine.
"Their footwork and hand placement are very good, it's clear they're well-coached,'' Gorrell said. "You see guys like Pierre Lavertu, David Foucault and Matthias Goossen stepping up to the plate and being able to prove to the coaches and scouts they're ready to take the next step.
"But a kid like Jaskaran Dhillon of UBC really impressed me, this was his first year playing on the offensive line. I also thought Terry Hart from Mount Allison did a great job and I also liked Kyle Patterson of Regina and Aaron Wheaton from the U of T.''
Gorrell also had words of encouragement for Foucault.
"I'll guarantee you every offensive lineman has had that day,'' he said. "You consider a defensive lineman has 12 sacks in 18 games and he's had a great year, but that means the offensive line has stopped him 98 per cent of the time.
"It's all about how many times did you stop your opponent. David Foucault got beat on one play and I'd say he was out there for 30 plays, so what would you grade that as? Yes, Dylan Ainsworth rolled him but it's going to happen to the best of them... you just hope it doesn't stay on film forever.''
Mike O'Shea, the former CFL standout linebacker who's now the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was impressed with Lavertu's play.
"Polished, he looked very good,'' O'Shea said. "There's a bunch who look ready to go in the CFL and contribute right away.''
Predictably, Lavertu was hard on his performance Sunday.
"I think it was half and half,'' he said. "I won some, lost some, but overall I'm satisfied.
"We were up against the best (defensive linemen) in the country and I have to show the scouts I'm one of the top-ranked players.''
Unfortunately for Lavertu and the other prospects, the CFL draft won't be held until May 13. But Lavertu has plenty to keep himself occupied with between now and then.
"I'll go back to the gym to make sure I am ready,'' he said. "I'll work on my core, my leg strength and my technique.''
Manitoba's Evan Gill, the scouting bureau's top-ranked defensive lineman at No. 6, displayed impressive brute strength Sunday. However, not having been in pads since the end of the season took its toll on the 6-3, 300-pound Winnipeg native.
"It was tough knocking the rust off,'' he said. "You're getting a lot of reps at once and you're getting gassed out there, it's tough moving at that fast pace.
"But it's not necessarily how you perform, it's how you move, how your body works... they're the top coaches, they're professionals and they'll mould you into what they want. Overall, I think the weekend was a success because I met with all nine teams and I wanted to tell them my story and I feel I accomplished that.''
Laval defensive back Adam Thibault was a standout individually. Thibault, ranked No. 13 on the CFL's top-15 list, had the top 40-yard dash time of 4.454 seconds and also finished first in the left and right agility drills as well as the shuttle.
However Thibault, who had a personal-best 18 reps in the bench press Saturday -- tops among the defensive backs -- couldn't go in the one-on-one drills due to an apparent hamstring injury.
Many prospects showed their versatility Sunday. Concordia defensive lineman Quinn Smith performed quite well lining up as an offensive lineman while both Ainsworth and Saint Mary's Nigel Romick also worked with the linebackers.

Five high-profile arrests in the UAE
Many expatriates face jail terms in the UAE for crimes ranging from indecency to murder. Here are a few cases that caught international media attention.
August 5, 2009 1:57 by Aarti Nagraj
3. Last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board fined its fast bowler Mohammad Asif Rs1 million (around $12,000) for "bringing the country into disrepute" following his detention in Dubai last year for possessing drugs, reported the Guardian.
In June 2008, Asif was detained at Dubai airport after a small amount of opium was found on him. Following a 19-day detention, he was deported to Pakistan without the authorities pressing criminal charges.
4. American businessman Zack Shahin was not so lucky. The ex-CEO of Dubai-based property developer Deyaar, Shahin was detained in March 2008 for alleged fraud. Shahin, who is still behind bars, has since accused Dubai authorities of torture and detention without charge, and Human Rights Watch has also asked the UAE government to investigate his claims.
The UAE authorities were also criticized heavily by Shahin's lawyers for blocking access to the site www.SaveZackShahin.com.
5. In July this year, two men suspected of involvement in the assassination of former Chechen commander Sulim Yamadayev were referred to court, according to Dubai's Public Prosecution. Yamadayev, who was an opponent of the Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov, was shot in the car park of the Jumeirah Beach Residence in Dubai earlier this year.
The two men's involvement is unclear, but Acting Attorney General of Dubai, Yussef Hassan Moutawa, told the UAE official news agency WAM that he had wrapped up the investigation and that further suspects had been identified.
"The Interpol has issued an international red arrest warrant against the fugitives. They will be referred to us, as soon as they get arrested anywhere in the world. They committed the alleged murder in Dubai, the place of jurisdiction where they will be prosecuted," he said.
Dubai police chief Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim has accused Chechen politician Adam Delimkhanov of ordering Yamadayev's assassination.

READ : The authorities were also criticized heavily by Shahin's lawyers for blocking access to the site http://www.SaveZackShahin.com…………. Afraid of intelligence of readers….Or no confidence in the trust of public…..Guess, it takes years to break from this mode of thinking….Till then…..Keep Smiling !!!
i can only rate this article as total crap from the journalism point of view, i know Kipp has nothing to offer but to Quote the gulfnews and the National everyday, but you guys make gulfnews looks like the NYT.
Come on guys this is all old crap. Can u not find something newsworthy to publish!!!!
When on leave we like to keep informed on what is happening not what has past
I think this article is a bias and a condescending portrayal of the UAE.
WOW…Cover Story. I read the comments made and I must agree, what in the world you guys are thinking?? This is not a cover story, this is "I am running out of ideas, I missed my deadline to submit my other good story, I need help not to lose my job STORY". Give us a break.
One noticeable feature of all criminal activities when ever an white skin man is involved, their sentences gets either computed or released immediately. In case the imprisoned person is from Asian Continent or Philphines, they do not get any such relief even if they are innocent. Once they are arrested probably atleast for anothe one or two years they are held in detention on some or other technical grounds.
Ravi Shankar – Though you sound pretty "racist" ( thats the way this word has come to mean in the english-speaking world as I know it) I cannot stop myself from saying: There is no smoke without fire somewhere…It is upto the concerned UAE authorities to decide if they feel worthwhile to address such perceptions…. they may choose to ignore as sometimes in the past…However, Ms. (I presume) Raghda Helal's missing the point, or trying to close eyes on reality when she(or he if I was wrong earlier) says this article is a bias…The article lists some old (as some have commented…too old and rather not 'new' news for them, facts of criminal cases in UAE…So how can we view facts as bias ? Yes, you can think of the non-mention of achievements as one-sided view but the articles are titled and have to stick to them !
Keep Smiling !!!!

Also on Friday, Western and African diplomats called for an urgent deployment of peacekeepers to Somalia as al-Qaeda's deputy leader urged an Iraq-style fight against Ethiopian forces there.
Diplomats fear the Islamic courts, easily out-gunned in conventional warfare, may resort to guerrilla tactics.
Thursday's message from Ayman al-Zawahri, deputy to Osama bin Laden, posted on a website used by militant Islamist groups, is likely to reinforce Washington's belief that the Somalia Islamic Courts Council is linked to and even run by an al-Qaeda cell, a charge that UIC officials have denied.
Neighbouring countries
Saeed Jenait, head of the Peace and Security Committee of the African Union (AU) in Ethiopia, told Al Jazeera that the union was studying ways of funding a peacekeeping force in Somalia and that a decision would be taken in the next few days.
"We are talking about sending 8,000 peacekeepers, but the situation in Somalia must be reassessed," he said.
"The AU peacekeeping force will be sent in days."Saeed Jenait, head of the Peace and Security Committee of the African Union "We might call for countries from the region to participate. The AU peacekeeping force will be sent in days."
Meeting in Nairobi, the International Contact Group on Somalia, which includes the US, European and African nations, met Abdullahi Yusuf, the Somali president, and also pushed for a fast deployment of peacekeepers.
Jendayi Frazer, the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, said the security vacuum left after the defeat of the UIC needed to be filled. But she downplayed the al-Qaeda call to arms.
"I think a lot of bold statements were made by extremists in the Courts, that they were going to kill Somalis, that they were going to stand and fight... And they just ran," Frazer told Reuters after the meeting.
The Somali government wants a foreign peacekeeping force, approved by the United Nations before the war, to be deployed.
Uganda said it was ready to send troops to Somalia as soon as its parliament approves the plan, a move welcomed by the Contact Group on Friday.
Suspected fighters
Within hours of the UIC leaving Mogadishu, militiamen loyal to faction commanders ousted in June reappeared at checkpoints in the city where they used to rob and terrorise civilians.
