Dear TPK Family!
On November 7, 2013, Hubba's mother and best friend was diagnosed with Stage IV Cervical Cancer and was later told that she only has a year to live.
More from Hubba…
We are in no way ready to give up and give in to this disease and plan to fight (kicking and screaming if need be) for more years of happiness and memories. Much of her treatment consists of monthly visits to dozens of doctors for everything from Chemotherapy to Radiation and regular check-ups. I am still very concerned about her motivation and mental state through all of this.
My mother, Jalila, is currently taking care of my 14-year old sister and cannot work. I help out financially with bills and food on a monthly basis. Money has always been extremely tight and often non-existent to points where she would get very creative with our meals and entertainment.
My family and I have overcome a lot and beat the odds that have been against us -to the surprise of many. I am the oldest of three and I've always assumed a supportive role as a leader in my family. Now, I want to take that full throttle and do something that will alleviate the weight of all this diagnosis and the trauma it brings to everyone in contact.
Please help me help my family and bring some much needed smiles to their faces. #LilaPieVaca

The Peculiar Kind's third episode of the second season focuses on LGBT Homeless youth. Featuring Claudio, a homeless 20 something living in NYC by way of Michigan, and Kate Barnhart, executive director of New Alternatives; an LGBT homeless youth program in New York City. We hope to spread the word, inform and inspire change within the LGBT homeless youth system.
Mentoring, donating and skill sharing are just a few things we can offer our youth. Specific housing and fostering programs/options are growing but are still few and far between. Let's actively work to change the violence, discrimination and sexual assault our LGBT homeless youth face.

Toyin Odutola for HEROES . Artist . Brooklyn, NY . 2013
"Where some may see flat, static narratives, I see a spectrum of tonal gradations and realities. What I am creating is literally black portraiture with ballpoint pen ink. I'm looking for that in-between state in an individual where the overarching definition is lost. Skin as geography is the terrain I expand by emphasizing the specificity of blackness, where an individual's subjectivity, various realities and experiences can be drawn onto the diverse topography of the epidermis. From there, the possibilities of portraying a fully-fledged person are endless."
On May 16th 2013, Toyin had her solo exhibit at the Jack Shainman Gallery in NYC. It was on that day that I decided to be open and invite everyone on my journey. I saw myself in her creations and it encouraged me to concentrate on the geography of my own soul, my existense, and my expansion as a human being and an artist. It is truly a blessing to have such a talented soul exist in this world. All in all, she is my hero.

Elated to be a part of this year's Out Magazine's Out 100 list. Here's a blurb from the writeup:
"My dream started by seeing Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show," says Mock. "I wanted to be her; I wanted to be beautiful, be successful, and maybe have a great family and a brownstone in Brooklyn." As she explained in her contribution to the "It Gets Better" project, "My gender was my very first 'This I know for sure' moment, as Oprah likes to call it."

The DEH-P9800BT is Pioneer's first CD receiver to use Bluetooth wireless technology. Using the handset with a cell phone compatible with Bluetooth wireless technology lets you make/accept calls (including call waiting), talk, and hang up without touching the phone at all. You can talk into the unit's included microphone while listening through your in-car speakers. Other features included are Voice Dial, Auto Answering, Phone Book Transfer and ABC Search.
Customizable Full-Color OEL Display
The DEH-P9800BT offers a first for CD receivers, a Full-Color (65,000-color*) OEL (Organic Electro luminescent) with animated graphics that retain amazing brightness. It's an innovation that, for the first time, allows the projection of motion and 3D animated graphics in multiple colors.
Like to customize the graphics on your OEL Display? No problem. Pioneer makes it easy to personalize your display. From a Pioneer website, you can download the necessary software that allows you to edit and create BMP, JPEG or PNG images. You can add animation, special effects, titles and more. Once the data is completed, burn it onto CD-R and insert into headunit. Custom images are uploaded and visible on your display.
Multi-Language Display
Multi-Language DisplayFor extra convenience, selected OEL models now come with a multi-language display, which can show information in three different languages-English, French, or Spanish. Using the Rotary Commander, allows the user to change default language for all screen displays and menus.
iTunes® AAC Playback Compatibility
Here's an important world's first from Pioneer: Apple iTunes AAC compatibility! The DEH-P9800BT can play CDs with AAC files ripped using Apple's iTunes Media Player. Now you can make iTunes your one-stop music player for your PC, iPod and CDs as well.
MP3 and WMA Playback
Enjoy your favorite music downloads and burn onto CD-R or CD-RW and play them on our MP3 and WMA compatible headunits. You'll also be surprised to find that our players support ID3 Tags and WMA text, which display artist, title, track and album information.
Built-in Auxiliary Input
The DEH-P9800BT features a new built-in AUX input, which can be easily connected with a wide range of external devices, such as digital audio players. Simply connect a mini-jack cable to the connector on the front of the unit.
Auto-Flap Motorized Face
Loading a CD into the Auto-Flap Motorized Face is actually fun. Push the OPEN button and the motorized face plate slides out of the way to expose the CD slot, and back again when the CD's loaded. Just for fun, do it again. And when you leave the vehicle, the face can go with you. Just push the OPEN button, pull the face toward you, and pop it into the included face case. And out you go. Another advantage with this design: the face protects the CD slot from dust.
Hi-Volt (5V) Pre-Outs
If you decide to connect an amplifier to the DEH-P9800BT, its three Hi-Volt (5V) pre-outs will deliver a clean, powerful signal path. The higher the volts that a pre-out provides, the better the signal strength to your amp, and then your amp doesn't have to work as hard. These Hi-Volt pre-outs help give you better dynamics, crisper highs, and big, deep bass.
Satellite Radio Ready? Ready.
Satellite Radio. It's digital, high-quality programming beamed from satellites. And the signal that doesn't fade, no matter where you drive. It offers commercial-free music of nearly every genre, plus talk, news, sports, weather, and more. There are two companies that offer this great product — XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio — and the DEH-P9800BT is compatible with both of these subscription-based services. So you choose. You'll just need a Pioneer digital satellite tuner to match the satellite service you select.
iPod Adapter Ready with New Full Control
Attention current and future iPod owners: this deck can be your gateway to taking your iPod music collection on the road! The CD-IB100II (or CD-IB100) iPod Adapter is available to add to your Pioneer headunit. Once you connect this adapter, you can control your iPod through the headunit and even view album, artist, and other music info on its display. iPod interface has improved with "Full iPod Control" with key features including control by Rotary Commander which is similar to actual iPod control. You can easily scroll through lists and there is also a multi-line display and list search available. The Pioneer iPod adapter powers your iPod and even re-charges its internal battery. Just think: now you can play all of your iPod tunes via a powerful Pioneer mobile audio system!

A bathroom is such a small space. Shouldn't I be done by now?
Two days ago, I shared my progress painting the walls and adding trim. I think I mentioned maybe waiting a while to update the oak cabinets. Well, forget that. Last night, I decided to drag out this mess even longer by just diving right into cabinet painting.
First, let's look at some before photos, since I didn't show the cabinets in Monday's update. This is how the bathroom looked before we moved in:
I thought these cabinets were new when we bought the house. But they're actually redone in an oak veneer that's about a quarter inch thick. The doors are new. After taking them off yesterday, I realized that the tall cabinet on the left was once a regular closet door. Based on the interior of the cabinets, I'm guessing a painted pine vanity sat to the right of a closet before it was updated. And while I didn't love the oak, I can tell that it must have been a vast improvement over what was under that veneer.
Once I painted the walls, I snapped a messy photo of the cabinets so I could play around in Photoshop with cabinet colors.
Natural wood can look amazing in a black and white space. But these oak cabinets were not the sort of wood that looks amazing anywhere, and the new paint wasn't changing that.
So last night, instead of finishing up the walls, I took off all the cabinet doors and started sanding the cabinet frames. Next came some Kilz primer. I guess it wasn't actually that spur of the moment, because I'd been to Lowes earlier in the day to pick up some gray paint samples. I even went so far as to prime a piece of scrap wood and paint swatches of each shade.
I picked my favorite swatch (the top one), and painted the cabinet frames. (I know they'll need a semi-gloss paint or polycrylic eventually, but using a flatter paint for initial coats seemed ok to me.) It's a good thing it was just a $2.99 sample, because even with my careful swatch painting, the end result was different once on the cabinets. Too light.
I tried to go to bed, but got up around midnight to paint another coat. This time, I went with the second from the bottom in the photo above. It looked perfect. It had just the right amount of contrast with both the white and the dark gray walls. On it went, and once it dried I realized that somehow it went a little blue. Blergh!
Determined that something needed to be done right before I went to sleep, I took a few minutes to add some shelf paper to the very gross cabinet interior.
Ah! Much better! Decades old unscrubbable filth, hidden from my sight.
A bit ago, I added a third gray to a few spots. I thought it was a little green on the swatch, but maybe that will work better in this room than the bluish hue of the other. So I'm far from finished painting, but here's a glimpse of where it's going:
I'm heading upstairs to check on that third paint color. It should be dry now. Fingers crossed it's the one!

Mike Peterson and Brett Romberg were added to the Birds' nest.
The Falcons have been slow and extremely deliberate in free agency. By contrast, last season they were swift and decisive in adding running back Michael Turner, safety Erik Coleman and the rest of the group.
Peterson has played weakside and middle linebacker. He comes "cross-trained." He was also a former captain in Jacksonville before falling out with head coach Jack Del Rio last season.
But Falcons coach Mike Smith never had any issues with Peterson. Word coming out of Flowery Branch is that their bond is still pretty tight and that allowed the deal to get done so quickly.
Despite his falling out with Del Rio, Peterson still led the Jags in tackles with 84. He missed six starts after Del Rio misinterpreted Peterson's attempt to fire up the team as a selfish celebratory move. It was also the last year of Peterson's contract and well, he thought he should have been extended.
But all that is in his rear view mirror.
Peterson steps into a unit that needs some direction and playmakers. Peterson and Stephen Nicholas can go at it for the weakside spot. If Peterson wins, then Nicholas could slide over to strongside and possibly play on passing downs if he can't beat out Coy Wire. Wire started on running downs late last season for Boley.
Now, if something happens to Curtis Lofton, Peterson can also play the middle.
Romberg gets reunited with offensive line coach Paul Boudreau and gives the Falcons another solid interior lineman behind center Todd McClure and guards Justin Blalock and Harvey Dahl.
Romberg, 29, has started 18 games over the last three seasons. He started his career in Jacksonville after playing at Miami.
Do you like the new Falcons?
March 10th, 2009
10:39 am
One slightly above average pick (Peterson); one average pick (Romberg). Nothing to get a fan excited. Tampa, Jacksonville, and New Orleans have all, on balance, upgraded considerably ahead of the Birds. TD better pull a couple rabbits out of the hat before this is all over. Right now no one would say we're a stronger team than we were last year.
March 10th, 2009
10:40 am
I am pretty happy with these two additions. The slow pace of their FA signings is irritating, but completely understandable. The possible addition of TE LJ Smith doesn't really do much for me, since he has a dubious injury history. The secondary needs addressing right away, because I thought they should have kept Milloy for one more season.
March 10th, 2009
10:44 am
I like both moves…I just hope we are not done. Without a doubt, Peterson is an upgrade over Brooking. We need some DL to help out next and maybe someone else in the secondary. Then I will feel much better about what the draft might bring us. We had a great draft last year, but it is hard to strike lightening twice.
March 10th, 2009
11:02 am
The Romberg move was okay but I don't expect to see him play really. The Peterson move is just okay too. We just signed a backup middle linebacker (Gilbert) and I expect Nicholas to take the weakside linebacker spot. If he's strictly backup great. If we draft a solid SLB then I will feel comfortable with the LB corp.
March 10th, 2009
11:04 am
Yes, I'm happy with both moves, but clearly not overjoyed. The secondary needs big help, and I hope they're not banking on the draft to upgrade this portion of the team. They're still uner the salary cap=correct, so why not make more free agency splashes?
March 10th, 2009
11:05 am
What's the word on Trey Lewis? Is he 100% yet? We need a hog in the middle to take some of those double teams off Abraham.
March 10th, 2009
11:12 am
Just remember, we can still re-sign Milloy, I don't believe he's signed with anybody else. As far as these two signings go, I see them as adding depth and that's about it.
March 10th, 2009
11:12 am
I'm okay with the moves. They're not flashy but serviceable. I think if a guy like Leroy Hill was available we would have made a big move. I would have liked to have seen Sean Jones visit. Seeing that he signed for just one year in Philly it seems like we could have made a play on him. Oh well, Delmas will be perfect if we can get him.
March 10th, 2009
11:13 am
These are moves a solid team does to strengthen an already great team. For us this does nothing to solidify a weakened defense and no realistic targets we can count on to get in the draft. A backup center,whoopee and another Jacksonville reject. Who's next the receiver who just got busted Matt Jones. It used to be we were the VA TECH graveyard now we get the Jacksonville rejects. Very dissapointed so far and yes I was wrong about Ryan but jury is still out on OUCH I'M HURT AGAIN SAM BAKER and the others from this so called great draft last year. It was the free agents that got us as far as we did….that and a quarterback who could throw a short slant and not decapitate his receiver.
March 10th, 2009
11:15 am
I'm pleased with the acquisition of Peterson. On the previous blog, I harped on the Falcons need to get some veteren leadership in the lockeroom, without breaking the bank. Well, we have that with Mike Peterson. This accomplishes a few things:
1) The Falcons have a guy who can show the youngsters, on the field, how to do their business
2) He probably won't break the bank
3) We're still able to build through the draft
4) He knows Smitty's system.
I like Lofton. However, after just on year, he's not ready to lead. We needed somebody who could step in and bring leadership until Lofton is ready to be the leader.
March 10th, 2009
11:15 am
Oh and stay the hell away from that crappy TE from Philly…Smith. All we need is another wimp sitting HURT? in a whirlpool.
March 10th, 2009
11:19 am
The Falcons would be a better team with or without free agent signings simply because of more experience with Ryan, and the same offense/defense coordinators and schemes. I love the way the Falcons are building this thing…only getting players that fit your exact scheme, and not just going after big names. Just like the Patriots have done it for years!!!!
March 10th, 2009
11:22 am
I'm happy they made the moves the linebackers got a good quality veteran as well as the offensive line. I think the falcons need to be more active in the free agent market, but i believe that the draft will help them in some of their needs.
March 10th, 2009
11:24 am
Hope Peterson still has something in the tank. I was wondering if this is the same deal like when Parcells moved to teams there seemed to be a couple of players he liked to bring with him (Pepper Johnson?, Bryan Cox?, Keyshawn Johnson?).
What this also (hopefully) does is make us less desperate to find an immediate starter at a NEED position in the draft and/or add more flexibility to use one of our two 5th round picks as a package to swap draft positions to move up if we see someone we like (kinda like we did last year with Sam Baker).
March 10th, 2009
11:28 am
EXACTLY RIGHT Falconian! Building slow and steady. If anybody needed a change of scenery it was Peterson, he will be a HUGE upgrade over Keith Broken and Romberg gives us depth on the OL. clthurman you need to drink a big ol' glass of chill the f*** out.
March 10th, 2009

I like the Peterson move, I don't have much knowledge about Romberg but the depth he adds can only help. The Peterson move at least brings in veteran leadership that hopefully will help the young players we have and rookies that we may acquire through the draft. Also, he was only signed for two years so he won't hurt the salary cap much if his tank happens to be half empty. I continue to be worried about the secondary, especially the position vacated by Milloy. D Led, what is your take on L.J Smith, it seems that many people feel he is an inadequate blocker, but when healthy he seems to play pretty well. Also, any other word on his potential signing with the falcons. I think that the falcons can afford to draft a tight end in later rounds and be okay with what we have, Peele looked pretty decent last year and I would rather have a young tight end that can develop and grow as Matt Ryan continues to develop and grow rather than a stop leak tight end, which seems to be the overall concern of most bloggers when considering L.J Smith.

The Falcons are doing what they need to do, slowly and methodically. They are getting help from the middle-level pool that does not break the bank. Yesterday, some idjit said they should have signed Haynesworth. For $100 mil+?! Thank God "he" is in charge of nothing more important than his sand box.
No, TD is doing a good job and with a couple of more small pieces + the draft he will solve the puzzle. The Falcons will be sound in 09!

I think the birds are not going out overpaying FAs. Our GM knows talent better than we do. I like the new guys we are signing because they are blue collar workers. The birds have been burned in the past in the FA market and sometimes it is not GOOD to jump to big names. Our GM is the best in the business right now and I predict a 12-4 season with home field. I think people on this line should set back and re-examine their comments. The birds are sleeping gaints in their division. We also will win our divison. Last year I said we will be 12-4 I was wrong by one game. To be champions, you must learn to fit the pizz and football is just like this idea. Look at the steelers and tell me do they have high price big name players??? NOPE

I like both signings a lot. Peterson guarantees that the LB corps is at the very least, as good as last year with the potential to be better. Romberg provides depth that is important and he has a lot of experience. Both of these moves will allow the Falcons to focus more on the Defensive line and secondary in the draft.

Hey Y'all:
Good solid and safe moves. These players, especially Peterson, will fill that playmaker role that we need a linebacker. His ability to also play the middle will build some great flexibilty in the Falcons defense. Now we have to get some "BIG NASTIES" to fill up the middle and on the ends on defense. Hopefully, we can find some of these young studds in the draft and/or through free agency. If fullfilled, then we will be moving in the right direction to beat all the teams we have on the schedule this year.
This is a SECRET from a FAlCON FAN!!!! TELL EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leon sorry to have scared you with my passion for all things Falcons. Peterson is a middle LB….we have one already..who is pretty good. I cant complain about Romberg just not really a need and any dollars spent away from our glaring needs seems well stupid. You cannot win in this league consistently without a good to great defense….you might get lucky one year but the teams that do well in this league consistently play good D…we do not. And we will not unless we upgrade with ready to play caliber studs. You don't get those very often in the draft, especially as one as weak as this one is.

I think the Evil genius of TD is gonna trade our #1 off to a team who is low on salary cap space and probably couldn't afford to sign a #2, like Indianapolis, so then we pick up a 29th, 55th, 59th and 90th and prolly all 4 will be starters. People wont like it but I have a feeling by the time our pick comes around most of the people we would take would be off the board already.
March 10th, 2009
12:22 pm
Alright I will just trust in the solid foundation that is the Falcon history of year in and year out good decision making. Ever wonder why organizations like the Steelers, Cowboys, Eagles always seem to be competitive…one reason is their fans just don't sit blindly after 1 season and say all is good. No they demand excellence. I'm not gonna sit here and say all is doom and gloom for the Falcons….their Offense is bad-ass. But I'll be damned if I offend or confuse people with my high expectations. And right now I am worried about our D and what Dimtroff is thinking. As a fan and I have been one since the Gritz Blitz days living in DC no less, I have high hopes this year and I want us to have 2 good years in a row, and not settle for 1 here and 1 there.

Nice Greg have "sex with a woman" I believe is your quote…would that be like a woman like you? If you want to debate what I said without getting personal then I'm fine with that. But if you are trying to show some type of clever humor then do a better job. Falcon Fans insulting other Falcon Fans ….yea that makes sense.
March 10th, 2009
12:32 pm
I don't want TD to make any stupid additions. Who would we add? Does Indy and NE do that? No. They build through the draft and add pieces as needed. They don't add stars, just team players. If a guy gets too big for the team, they let him go. That is what I want here in the ATL. Don't bring in any idiots. Build long term.
This team showed they can with with what most were saying would win 2 games. They will do the same again.
I hope us Falcon Fans will wise up and start wishing the new guys would do what has failed for so many years just because we want some news.
March 10th, 2009

D. MONEY: Falcons haven't given us medical updates. We'll have to get one on Trey when offseason workouts start this month.
BERT: Don't think Milloy is an option. When a team issues a release and says they are not signing a guy, that usually means good-bye. . . you know, like forever.
WR: Wouldn't overpay for L.J. But if he can still get up the field and catch the ball, he could be a nice weapon for Ryan. Problem is that they could get Jared Cook or Chase Coffman in the draft for a much cheaper price.
T.C.: Spud Webb at weakside. We know he's fearless.
BARRY: Welcome back!!! ONE HEARTBEAT BABY!!!
March 10th, 2009
12:37 pm
I think its a good move if we look at the big picture here. We definitely need a proven, solid veteran in EACH level of the D. I think the next thing to address is the secondary. I am starting to think twice about the L.J. Smith thing though. Guys, I dont know much about him. Is he really that bad or just too injury-prone? If he is, we don't need that here.
March 10th, 2009

clthurman u are getting personal with your comments about FO and staff. I'm not sure u are a Falcons fan. I've followed them since 66 so I've seen everything. And I know that the moves they made last year were heads up above what the last group did. You still need to chill.

What are we paying Peterson over the three years? How much guaranteed?
March 10th, 2009
12:57 pm
Greg, your comment is WTF? First off I am a Falcon Fan. I have in no way made any personal attack on the FO and staff. I am questioning their plans. And not their sexuality I might add either. So you have been a fan since 66 I respect the hell out of that…I have not for that long because I am not that old. I seem to remember other great starts we have had here and they have not ended well for us. So if I play the doubting Thomas to coin a phrase its because I care enough to not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. And Atlanta has not had a good track record. Fans who care want their teams to succeed, and not say all is well after just ONE SEASON…as a Falcon Fan you should know this. And again Greg…I would enjoy sex with a woman…what are you a parrot….I was in the porn business and ran a strip club as well…I have had more women than that little hand of yours has ever dreamt about…and still do.
March 10th, 2009

Orlando…do the FO and stuff think that highly of Decoud and Fudge to think they are ready right now? Or is a real prospect or 2 been mentioned as wants thru the draft.
March 10th, 2009
1:15 pm
clthyurman this is different. It is only one season but these people are running an organization the way it should be run. And it is America and you have the right to be wrong. You are bitching about what the have done so far. Last year they made early moves when they needed to. This year there was no one there of need or financially that they needed. Wait until the season starts and criticize. Of all the years I've followed the Falcons, this group of people, fron the FO to the coachiong staff, gives me more hope than I've ever had for the future of this franchise.
March 10th, 2009
1:21 pm
I am not saying that after one season all is well but, I will let the GM and coach build the team because they have the expereince to do so. If they don't get it right it will be shown on the field and then we as fans can question what the heck they are doing. Until then I will enjoy seeing a team being built for season after season not a one trick pony which is what we are use to. Loven the change!! Keep it up TD!!
March 10th, 2009

Bad teams make big splashes.The better the team .Tne smaller the splash.The teams that are consistent year in and year out.Are solid teams from GM/Owner to Physical therapist/towel guy.Everybody needs to do his/her job.If anyone in the league as FALCONFANS.We know what disfunction looks like.Dis Aint It
March 10th, 2009
1:27 pm
And I can respect that Greg. I was so excited over the development of our offense last year that I was really hoping we addressed the defense just as well. I agree that no free agents really stood out and am glad we avoided the HAYNESWORTH hype. I do feel Foxworth was a big mistake letting him go. I just don't see any real help in this years draft that will help us right away…so 2 steps back looks to be a reality no matter how smart our FO and staff are now.
March 10th, 2009
1:28 pm
Above all falcon fans the Falcons are signing based on their needs and also who fits into their style of play. I think at the osistion the Falcons are at in the draft, a real qualtiy player could fall at that 24 spot in the 1st round. maybe……. michael johnson….hmmmmmm
March 10th, 2009

Nice comment fan. That is exactly what i'm talking about
March 10th, 2009
1:32 pm
Great additions. Over and over, you hear T.D. talk about how he loves players that can play multiple positions. That is clearly something he believes in. These guys both give you that flexibility, which is a great commodity. These are the solid players you need to build a foundation that will be competitive for years to come. Remember, it's not all about next season with this regime…..they want to be good EVERY season. I'm liking it.
March 10th, 2009
1:35 pm
I'm on board with the thumbs up crowd. Folks, this is a 50 man team, if you spend all your time concentrating on the big moves, you wind up with no foundation and guys like these are the foundation. Quick – name more than 2 or 3 defensive starters with the Super Bowl Cardinals last year. Most probably can't – because what's hopefully happening here in Atlanta is what it takes to build a winner – concentrate on forming a winning team, not a team with as many stars as possible and fill out the roster with whatever is left over that other teams cut.
I point to the Redskins for an example. In the last 16 years they have all of TWO playoff wins and ONE division title (by the way, the Falcons have FIVE playoff wins and TWO division titles in that span). The point is, they always go out and sign the big name. Have an owner that spends lavishly. Builds the largest staduim in the NFL – and for over a decade and a half, has been less successful than Atlanta.
Moral to the story – we don't need to spend freely, just spend wisely (and carry a big draft board!).

Shit was epic. Hulk and Iron Man made the movie.
I was hoping they would give more in depth info on how Thor came back to earth, other than Odin havin' to use a lot of black magic... and one thing i was wonderin' about, why didn't Hulk attack the other Avengers (other than Thor with that one punch haha) in the last big fight, they didn't really show how he was able to control himself.
But like i said before, that movie is the shit!!!

Very true. I liked Captain America also. He showed true leadership. I had geek smile on my face when he told Iron Man to put his armor on and let's go a few rounds. Really all the characters shined. The only one I felt kind of played the backfield was Hawkeye. He still was awesome though.
damn i like jeremy renner the most as a actor outta all em
The Avengers Has Record-Setting $200.3 Million in Sales
By Michael White - May 6, 2012 10:35 AM CTSun May 06 15:35:11 GMT 2012
Marvels The Avengers opened as the top film in U.S. and Canadian theaters, kicking off the summer movie season with a record $200.3 million in sales this weekend for Walt Disney Co. (DIS)
Revenue topped the previous best of $169.2 million set byHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 last year, researcher Hollywood.com Box-Office said today in an e-mailed statement. Analysts had forecast sales of $150 million to $170 million for The Avengers.
Summer ticket sales are expected to surpass the record of $4.4 billion set last year, according to Jeff Bock, box-office analyst at Exhibitor Relations Co. Other films scheduled in the coming weeks include Warner Bros. The Dark Knight Rises,directed by Christopher Nolan, and Sony Corp. (6758)s Men in Black 3, a sequel that reunites Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as government agents managing Earths secret alien population.
The Avengers is the first Marvel movie Disney is distributing since buying the comic-book company for $4.2 billion in 2009. The movie provides Burbank, California-based Disney with a hit after the box-office failure of John Carter, the science-fiction film released in March that resulted in a $200 million loss for the company.
Rich Ross, the head of Disneys film unit, resigned in April, and the company hasnt yet hired a replacement. Disney is scheduled to report fiscal second-quarter results on May 8.
Marvel Heroes
The Avengers brings together several Marvel heroes, including Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, who were featured singly in previous films. They must overcome egos and discord to band together to fight an army led by Loki, the unscrupulous god of Norse mythology. The movie stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
The film took in $80.5 million in first-day ticket sales on May 4, according to Hollywood.com. The revenue was the second-best single-day performance after Deathly Hallows: Part 2,which took in $91.1 million.
The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, was the only movie opening in wide release this weekend.

Movie is dope...there is another scene at the ass end of the credits too...
This movie was fucking great. Great mix of story, humor, and action. Especially the Hulk and Loki part.
Everybody was energetic and cheered for the movie. But nobody hardly said shit for any of the trailers before the movie started, where I was at and it was a packed theatre. Maybe a few laughs here and there for that CG animated movie with that girl with the curly read hair. But not too much reaction from the crowd. I was expecting people to show some excitement for The Dark Knight Rises trailer or even The Amazing Spider-Man trailer. But no one hardly said anything.
This movie was epic. Saw it in IMAX 3D. That was my first movie. Will not see another 3D movie because it irritated my eyes like I expected.
Man, Loki was evil as fuck.
The actor owned that role.
Go Orlando Magic! Go Tampa Bay Bucs! Go FSU! Go CM Punk!
anyway- i couldn't help but think while watching this movie- 'damn- there is actually some good comedic timing shown'. Robert Downey Jr. could make a Tony Stark movie without suiting up at all and I swear it'd still be entertaining.
C'mon Marvel now all we need is that Avengers Vs X-Men animated movie. Do anybody remember in a interview about the Hulk Vs movie that they said they were planning on doing a Avengers Vs X-Men animation as well? I been reading the recent released comics. But I would so love to watch the animated take on it.
I was thinking that the Chitauri in the Avengers movie didn't use any of their shape shifting ablities, like they did in the Ultimate Avengers animated movie (or comics for that matter). Also it would have been cool if Cap yelled out Avengers Assemble at least once. I still love the movie.
On a side note. DC hurry up with that Flash movie for christ sake. He is my favorite DC character behind Batman and Superman. At least give us a Flash animated movie until we finally get a live action version.
just seen it last night with my kids shit goes hard not to fund of the 3-D, fuck round go see it again

I don't like wearing glasses period because they hurt my eyes after a few minutes. That's how it was with the 3D. I expected the 3D to hurt my eyes because of what I thought the 3D would look like…, but it really didn't. The issues were the lenses hurting my eyes and me being the person I am, if something bothers me, I will continue being irritated by it because it's on my mind. So yeah, I spent the whole movie playing with the glasses.
Go Orlando Magic! Go Tampa Bay Bucs! Go FSU! Go CM Punk!

On Wednesday, 1 October 2014 at 10 am Pacific Time (17:00 UTC), ArenaNet will be upgrading the wiki to MediaWiki software version 1.23.2. The maintenance is expected to last up to 90 minutes and the wiki will be unavailable during its duration. We're sorry about the inconvenience and thank you very much for your patience.
Game updates/20070823
From Guild Wars Wiki
[edit] Update 2 - Thursday, August 23, 2007
[edit] Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that reduced players' ranks in the Gladiator title. Affected players will receive Balthazar faction points equal to the amount their faction cap was reduced while the bug was in effect.
[edit] Miscellaneous
- Characters may now only equip up to 3 PvE-only skills at a time.
[edit] Guild Wars Wiki notes
- The Hard Mode option was removed. This was unintentional.
[edit] Update - Thursday, August 23, 2007
[edit] Territory and District UI Changes
- Travel between European and American districts is now available through the District List and the map travel dialog panel.
- The Change Territory button has been removed from the Edit Account panel in the Character Selection Screen.
- The District List and the map travel district menu have been updated to include a "More Options" button. Selecting this button opens a new dialog panel for travel to districts divided by territory and language.
- This panel also allows you to choose which numbered district to travel to, instead of automatically taking you to the active district.
- Players will now log in to the territory and language of the last outpost they visited.
[edit] Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug in the Nightfall quest "Into the Fire" that prevented players from collecting their reward occasionally.
- Fixed bugs in the North Kryta Province and Tasca's Demise that prevented players from Vanquishing them occasionally.
- Fixed a god statue in Fahranur, the First City that was mistakenly summoning Lyssa's Muse instead of the Champion of Balthazar.
- Fixed a graphical error with the Hourglass Staff preorder item.
[edit] Miscellaneous
- Added new ranks to the Kind of a Big Deal title track.
- Re-enabled the reconnect after disconnect feature.
- The Text Language drop-down list found in the Options [F11] panel now displays all language entries in both your current language choice as well as each entry's language.
- The Party panel can once again be resized vertically. It still re-sizes automatically whenever members are added or removed.
- To avoid players accidentally expanding or collapsing groups listed within the Party panel, players must now click on the [+] button to expand or collapse these groups.
[edit] Guild Wars Wiki notes
- This update required users to accept a new version of the EULA. These are the changes from the previous version.
- This update scaled the Gladiator title ranks up (first rank at 500), but did not convert existing player gladiator points. This was fixed in the second update
- The Lightbringer title rank 6 now is appropriately named "Vanquishing Lightbringer" (instead of "Conquering Commander"), and rank 5 has been renamed to Conquering Lightbringer. This does not affect German language selection.
- A slot was added to crafting material storage for Onyx Gemstones
- As of this update you cannot have more than 3 PvE-only skills on your skillbar. This is noted in the second update.
- When zoning with more than one elite skill on the player's skillbar the rightmost skill is retained instead of the leftmost.
- This update introduced erratic trade chat filtering.
- Underground zones (as well as other off-map zones, such as those in the Realm of Torment) are now shown on the world map in a popup window when in the zone. The "U" key toggles this popup on and off, as does the Mission Map button on the world map.
- This update added Moa Nests to the southeastern corner of Regent Valley and a Volcanic Rock to Perdition Rock.
- In Alliance Battles, the gates (of Ancestral Lands) now break every time when a player uses the Lever of it instead of opening for a few seconds - they also repair when a player uses a lever of a broken one regardles if the player is wielding a repair kit or not.
- In this update or one of the subsequent updates over the weekend, the tooltips for title skills were altered to show progression ranges from 0...(max rank) instead of 0...(80% of max rank).
