The first batch of international reviews for the Hobbit are out, and they are tepid.
The website rottentomatoes.com, which rates movies by weighing up available reviews, had taken 23 reviews to give the film a 78 per cent positive rating.
This compares to between 92 and 96 per cent for each of the three Lord of the Rings movies, which also had the benefit of many more reviews and second viewings.
Of the three ''top reviewers'' on the Rotten Tomatoes site, The Hobbit didn't fare well.
In Variety, Peter Debruge says the movie ''rewards and abuses'' audiences' appetite.
While it had positives - adherence to the Rings trilogy, impressive computer graphics, and consistency with the tone of The Hobbit books - it was too long, with too many subplots.
''While Peter Jackson's prequel to The Lord of the Rings delivers more of what made his earlier trilogy so compelling - colorful characters on an epic quest amid stunning New Zealand scenery - it doesn't offer nearly enough novelty to justify the three-film, nine-hour treatment, at least on the basis of this overlong first instalment, dubbed An Unexpected Journey.
David Germain from Associated Press praised and criticised the film's technical wizardry and the decision to shoot it at twice the normal frame rate.
''The result is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that utterly distracts,'' he commented.
The story itself suffered from the decision to split the book into three movies.
''Let's hope Jackson has the goods to improve on a so-so start. Otherwise, The Hobbit - subtitled There and Back Again by Tolkien - is going to feel like travelling the same road more than twice.''
In Hollywood Reporter, Todd McCarthy said while the movie was ''a bit of a slog'', box office success was all but certain.
''There has almost certainly never been an adaptation of a novel more studiously, scrupulously and strenuously faithful as Peter Jackson's film of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
''Spending nearly three hours of screen time to visually represent every comma, period and semicolon in the first six chapters of the perennially popular 19-chapter book, Jackson and his colleagues have created a purist's delight, something the millions of die-hard fans of his Lord of the Rings trilogy will gorge upon.''
The technical aspects of the film were commended by McCarthy.
By contrast, the first of the Rings movies, Fellowship of the Ring, was largely praised by Variety and Hollywood Reporter, the latter of which said: ''[The film] rarely takes a wrong turn in its fairly faithful adaptation of the first Rings book ... [It is] quite masterfully paced and one of those rewarding movies that seems to get better and better as it progresses.''
While Variety's review was largely glowing for Fellowship, it was critical of the film's ''then, and then, and then'' narrative.

The Mystic Tales of Nikolas Winter: Nikolas Winter, the greatest of all magicians, has gone into hiding. His magic is too powerful for anyone, not even he himself dares to use it. Elizabeth Ward, a non-too-talented psychic, has started receiving visions of a beautiful but demonic young woman, and is desperate for help. Count Cagliostro, the most feared of all alchemists, has returned after being banished for performing dark magic - and will do anything to be reunited with his lost love, the mysterious Lady of Darkness, even if it means human sacrifice. Arthur Phillips, a young man bored with his mundane life, escapes night after night into his imagination, writing down elaborate tales of fantasy and intrigue. Each of these unique individuals will cross paths with each other, and either battle to the death, or live to tell another tale, in this colorful and unique fantasy directed by Ansel Faraj, and starring Linden Chiles, Audrey Stanzler, and Mihran Konanyan.

Bistro Elite Battery-Operated Wine Opener
fabulous wine opener!
I have carpel tunnel in both hands and have very little strength... this wine opener is a life saver. Thank you - love it - highly recommend for all wine lovers!katleg, CA
Works great!
I love this wine opener. I threw all of my others away! So easy to use and the reverse position lets you release the cork with ease. My family was over for dinner, and everyone wanted one!Boomer540, AZ
Beautiful wine bottle opener, works great and I love how it operates and it looks elegant.chewy, IN
Wonder Wine Opener
I love this product. It has a base that cuts the foil top of the wine bottle. No more tearing off by hand. Then it winds down into the cork. With a reverse movement it extracts the cork and releases it so you can put it back in the bottle. My only peeve is with the manufacturer. I knocked my opener off the counter and the small clear top broke. They will not sell a new top. This offends my ecological senses. It means that a perfectly good opener must go into the landfill because you cannot purchase a new cap to hold in the batteries and work the opener. Without that cap it is useless. Too bad Wolfgang! Pleas see what you can do to fix this.aussie213, FL
Best purchase!
Easy to use right out of the box! So glad I got it!DeeDee96, PA
Fabulous Item!!
I had a terrible time opening wine bottles. The cork would break or wouldn't move at all. This is the best gadget I've purchased in a long time!!candylechat, CA
Best Wine Opener
I bought this for myself and loved it so much that I bought it for my nieces. It works perfectly...no more broken corks or pushing the cork into the bottle.Von315, IL
Great Wine Bottle Opener
Really nice wine opener. I received this wine bottle opener last week and is the best wine opener I have ever owned it works perfectlyGeno397, RI
What fun!
I love this product. I don't drink much wine but whenever I wanted any it was a struggle for me to open the bottle. This is almost too much fun for an opener. It is very simple to use and works every time. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. I recommend this to everyone and it would be a great gift especially as a house warming or hostess gift!Jeanne43, WA

Ten Years of Images of Iraq
The Iraq war began on March 20, 2003, to rid Iraq of a dictator and eliminate his weapons of mass destruction.
The images remain fresh even as the memories fade - the blinding flash of "shock and awe" bombing, the square-jawed confidence of an American president leading his people into war, the cowering prisoner trembling on the ground in the face of a small piece of American power.
Then and Now Images
- Image 42
Photo 42 of 51
In this Thursday, March 14, 2013 photo, Hussein, 3, poses in Firdous Square in Baghdad with a photograph taken at the site by Jerome Delay of the Associated Press showing the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down by U.S. forces and Iraqis on April 9, 2003. Ten years ago on live television, U.S. Marines memorably hauled down a Soviet-style statue of Saddam, symbolically ending his rule. Today, that pedestal in central Baghdad stands empty. Bent iron beams sprout from the top, and posters of anti-Ameri

My grandson took the old side arms off and replaced it with the new. Everything was so easy and quick. Thank you so much. Joyce
Removed the upper shelf and removed the old broken right and left support sides and replaced with the new ones, screwed in beneath the shelf. Replaced the upper shelf that holds the meat drawer and slid in the new drawer. Wonderful to have a functioning part in the refrigerator that still works great.
Extremely simple. I just pulled the shelf out of the fridge, unscrewed the two screws on each track side. Remember to KEEP the old screws because new screws arenot provided with the tracks. Just screw them in, replace the tracks, replace the shelf and slide in the drawer...Done!!
The bin door shelf was easy, just snap it in. For the drawer support rails, the hardest part of the repair was removing all the food from the shelf above the meat bin. Once that was complete, I took out the shelf with the drawer supports, unscrewed the rails from each side, inserted the new rail and reinserted the screw tightening the rail on each side. You can't put the rail in incorrectly since the screw holes will not line up. Very simple and easy.

For the compass rose, I stitched the Adafruit neopixels together and hooked them up to the Adafruit Flora. Also connected to the Flora is a magnetometer/accelerometer. The magnetometer probably gave me the most grief. It turns out that if you want to use communications protocols (like I2C) on e-textiles, make sure the connection is SOLID! I became so frustrated with the magnetometer not talking to the Flora that I just soldered some wires instead.
Despite the frustrations, I'm pretty happy with how the bag turned out. This was also the first time using the Flora and I have to say, I love it! I can certainly tell that the folks at Adafruit put A LOT of thought into it. One little detail that made me really happy was strategically placing the SDA, SCL, power and ground pads so that you wouldn't have to have any thread/wires cross. If you've been working with e-textiles for a while, you'll know exactly what I mean! Seriously, Adafruit…thank you!!!

DEFINITION of 'MRO (Mauritanian Ouguiya)'
The currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Mauritanian ouguiya (MRO), the currency for Mauritania.

BREAKING DOWN 'MRO (Mauritanian Ouguiya)'
The Mauritanian ouguiya was first seen in 1973 when it replaced the CFA franc, the currency of the twelve formerly French controlled African countries, at a rate 5 to 1. The ouguiya, along with the Malagasy ariary (the currency of Madagascar), is one of only two currencies in circulation today that is non-decimal based.

My 3 Boundaries for Bringing Home Baby
Motherhood Meditations
In honor of Mother's Day this Sunday, and the conversations happening around the brunch table for mothers now and future, we asked one of our favorite bloggers, LaTonya Yvette, to bring us a few meditations on what she has learned about life, love, and happiness through motherhood. — Faith
Each time I've brought a baby home after birth it's been different. The sounds, the air, the way my body acclimated — everything. You would think by my first statement that I've had about five of them; but no, only two.
But somehow, my two children have been just enough to teach me the vast difference in what I should and shouldn't do and who I think I am and want to be. More importantly, they've taught me about boundaries.
How To Make Super-Crispy, Oven-Baked Asparagus Fries
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I don't just like asparagus — I love it! It's a bit of an obsession for me. I'll eat it broiled, roasted, steamed, baked, and even raw. To that roster of preparations is the recent addition of oven-baked asparagus fries in all their golden, crispy-brown glory.
With the help of a breadcrumb trick that you can make use of beyond this recipe, I present the crispiest, crunchiest, tastiest asparagus I've made to date — and folks, it's all done in the oven.
Recipe: Gluten-Free "Buttermilk" Raspberry Weeknight Cake
Mother's Day Brunch Recipes from Heather Christo
When I was growing up, my mother had a well-used recipe box. Do you remember those? The little boxes overflowing with hand-written recipes on index cards and pages torn from magazines folded into quarters. The best of those were the family recipes that were handed down from my Grandma Grace and great-aunts: family cookie recipes, fluffy biscuits, and pecan sticky buns. Then there was one of my favorites discovered in my early 20s — the magic recipe for a buttermilk cake that belonged to my mother's great-aunt Patience, affectionately known as "Auntie Pitts."
I remember making it the first time without very high expectations, because who knew how it would turn out? Well, it was wonderful — an ultimate single-layer yellow cake with all the right moisture and subtle tanginess that you get from buttermilk.
How I Found My Mama Tribe
Life with Children
In honor of Mother's Day this Sunday, and the conversations happening around the brunch table for mothers past and present, we asked one of our favorite bloggers, LaTonya Yvette, to bring us a few meditations on what she has learned about life, love, and happiness through motherhood. — Faith
Six years a mother, and I've seen it all when it comes to mama tribes. It's not that I purposefully went around the rodeo a few times; it just takes a while to find that core crew — years even. What I love most about New York City is that there are always people to meet and new friends to make, but when it comes to motherhood, I find this factor difficult at times.
26 Recipes to Make for Mother's Day Brunch
Recipes from The Kitchn
If there's ever a time to stay home for brunch, it's on Mother's Day. Not that Mom doesn't deserve a nice meal out, but it's one of the busiest Sundays for brunch every year. So if you're staying in, do it up big! Roll out the red carpet, bring her coffee in bed, and make her a meal that shows her how much you care.
If your mom's got a sweet tooth, any one of the sweet and fruity French toast options will do the trick. Want to serve something hearty and savory? A breakfast casserole or savory breakfast cake fits the bill. To round out the menu, we've included a few cocktails and flavorful mocktails, so no matter what you serve, you can raise a glass and toast to mom.

Recipe: Vegan Beet Pesto Pasta
Mother's Day Brunch Recipes from Heather Christo
Beet pesto pasta is a signature recipe of mine that I have been making for many years. I tried beets for the first time as a child (fresh from the can!) only to take a rather lengthy hiatus while my taste buds recovered (or maybe matured). I had them again many years later when I was working at La Folie in San Francisco, post culinary school. I was basically told "eat the beets." So I ate the beets.
I can still remember the varieties: purple, candy cane, and golden. They were fresh and beautiful and, to my great surprise, I absolutely loved them. Beets and I have been involved in a love affair ever since.
In Like a Lion: 5 Vegetable-Forward Recipes That Capture the Feisty Side of Spring
Recipes from The Kitchn
Spring's earliest produce can bring both elation and puzzlement. After months of lumpy storage vegetables and produce shipped from afar, verdant greens and tender roots are a welcome shift. But spring's first offerings aren't for the faint of heart – from spicy radishes to punchy greens to pungent alliums, early spring produce can prove tough to tame.
I've found that the best way to savor these first shoots and roots is to celebrate the season's assertive and uniquely green palate. To help, I have a few guidelines I turn to again and again to make the most of the season's early bounty.
Recipe: Blueberry-Lemon Skillet Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn

PassivEnergy promises to cool your heating bill
A new device that hopes to let you control the basic functions of how your house is heated is being shown off at CES in Las Vegas this week.
Called PassivEnergy, the system allows you to monitor energy consumption as well as set the temperature in your house by placing and then talking to a number of sensors in your home.
"You plug the box into your router, place a temperature sensor in your room and then replace your standard thermostat in your home", the company's CEO Colin Calder told Pocket-lint. "Using the remote you can then set when you want the heating to come on based on time of day, when you are out, when you are sleeping and other parameters".
In fact the system can even be trained to automatically adjust with the change in weather outside, learn the optimum time to turn on based on your movements, how your house heats up or the costs based on your provider.
The system, which already has Android and Apple iPhone apps incoming, hopes to save you wasting energy in the home based on the fact that it can be more efficient in regards to heating it because it knows where and what you do.
But it's not just the heating that the system hopes to control. Aping features from competitor AlertMe, you'll also be able to connect the device to your electronics gear via connected plugs and control appliances via the system controller or an online web page.
Plans for the future include control of your TVs, your washing machine, dishwasher and any other white goods.
The new system is expected to hit the UK around Easter with a starter pack including the thermostat, box of tricks and one temperature sensor for around £300. A US and global roll-out is expected sometime later this year.

The rooms were not what I expected from the Hilton. The elevators were not working due to renovations and I was generally expecting a little more from the Hilton, The TV we did not think was up to Hilton quality.

Strengthen judiciary to fight corruption: Khurshid
Kochi: Describing Indian judiciary as a very `valuable` institution, Law Minister Salman Khurshid on Monday stressed the need to strengthen it to combat corruption rather than substituting judges.
"... By strengthening the profile and position of Indian judges and not by substituting judges by anyone else can corruption be fought," he said while speaking on `Building a Corruption free India` as part of the fifth K S Rajamony memorial lecture at the Kerala High Court.
He said judges have many attributes.
"The judges have training, they have judicial mind, are compassionate and have attitude. This attitude cannot be found in anyone else," he said and urged judges not to allow civil society, politicians and media to undermine their (judges) role to win the battle against corruption.
"Unless you can inspire people`s collective conscience, unless you can take people together, unless you can persuade and ask them to join you, we will not win the battle against corruption," he said.
Pointing that the Union government was criticised for not acting fast enough on the Lokpal bill, Khurshid said, "Indian judiciary if given the right infrastructure,right intellectual support and right opportunity, there cannot be greater instrument of change than judiciary itself.
"It is possible judiciary itself is uncomfortable about reforms... Such reforms have to come from judiciary itself.

ATLANTA - February 04, 2013 - New functionality on Movius Interactive Corporation's latest platform will offer service providers different ways to target businesses of all sizes to supply their communications needs.
Movius is a global leader in solution enablement for service providers and recently launched the CAFÉ platform to enable a constant flow of new, relevant applications to end-users in an affordable, rapid and cloud ready environment.
New enterprise functionality, only recently unlocked, will give service providers the opportunity to offer business streamlining solutions. These include auto attendant functions, call handling services to answer, direct calls, and take messages; support of simplified mailboxes with email, voicemail, and fax messages all in one place; unified messaging and message waiting notifications. The system also allows click-to-call functionality to easily return calls; multiple greeting options to increase the professional presentation and group lists to simplify the distribution of messages and information.
"These are fairly common business requirements; the ability to 'host' them with a single multi-tenant, carrier-grade platform provides a more economical solution. Most businesses either already have their own equipment and interface with service providers associated with that equipment, or have people performing these functions. A more economical and simpler method lets them focus on their business and not on the communications functionality," commented Amit Modi, CTO at Movius.
"We estimate that service providers will have full payback within nine months to a year from the increased revenues and ongoing revenue for several years with only minimal support and maintenance."
New functionality includes Visual Voicemail (VVM) and Voice-2-Text (V2T) in addition to converged mailboxes for your desktop phone, mobile and other mobile devices to compliment the enterprise and basic voicemail features.
"In the hyper connected world today, boundaries between traditional enterprise users and consumers are fast blurring and businesses need solutions to drive greater productivity and empower people with secure personalization," continued Modi. "Movius CAFÉ with its business applications suite opens a window for this unique converged offering."
