In 2008 Marvel almost innocuously dropped Iron Man on the world to little hype or fanfare. I remember as a comic-book fan being much more excited for Christopher Nolan's Batman follow-up The Dark Knight and being much more lukewarm towards Marvel as their recent track-record was less than impressive (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Spider-Man 3, and X-Men: The Last Stand being the trifecta of disappointing Marvel films I had most recently seen). The fact that Iron Man turned out to be the best Marvel movie in years was a fantastic development. But one post-credits scene featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury as he talked about "The Avengers initiative" did nothing more than fundamentally change the movie industry forever.
With those fateful words Samuel L. Jackson set in motion the bold concept of a cinematic universe – where several movies featuring different characters in all of them would inhabit a theoretical shared universe where events in one film might affect outcomes in others. The biggest excitement for this shared universe would be that as the universe grew the prospect of characters such as Captain America and Iron Man might actually inhabit and visit one another's movies leading to the culmination in the aforementioned "Avengers initiative".
Such is the success of this experiment that today we take for granted its existence. Year after year multiple instalments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are released and every year we flock to these movies with such regularity that they have become the rare blockbusters that make more money the more instalments come out. What started out as a grand experiment has not become an industry (for better or worse).
So what better thing to do than to rank them definitively? For purposes of brevity I will refer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the MCU. Also for clarity the MCU is officially divided into three phases currently. Phase One covers all the movies up to The Avengers (2012), Phase Two includes all the movies up to Ant-Man (2015), while all the movies after that fall into Phase Three. And with that, let's dive right in.
19. THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008) dir. Louis Leterrier
The Incredible Hulk is in many ways the forgotten black sheep of the MCU. The movie was released during the heady days following the phenomenal success of Iron Man but before that success made Marvel Studios decide to try their grand cinematic universe idea. As a result it is the least connected and least referenced film in the MCU. The grand legacy of this film is that it basically forced any other standalone Hulk films of the table while necessitating a recasting of Bruce Banner in future films with Edward Norton getting the boot in favour of Mark Ruffalo. As for its quality, it cannot even garner enough enthusiasm for people to say it is undoubtedly better than Ang Lee's ambitious but highly flawed Hulk (2003) and at least Lee's film was much more memorable.
18. THOR: THE DARK WORLD (2013) dir. Alan Taylor
Thor has the dubious distinction of being the least popular of Marvel's big three (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor). Most of that has to do with the fact that as a Norse god who comes from a kingdom in another transdimensional realm he is easily the least relatable of the big three. While the original Thor movie played up the "fish-out-of-water" angle to comedic effect, this sequel leans hard into the medieval epic Game of Thrones-like aspects of Thor's backstory to less than compelling effect. It doesn't help that this movie also commits two of the grand cardinal sins of the MCU, namely having a bland and completely forgettable villain and using most of the runtime as a setup for future movies as Thor tries to retrieve one of those infernal Infinity Stones. Thank goodness Tom Hiddleston makes an appearance as Loki or the whole thing would be a waste of time.
17. AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (2015) dir. Joss Whedon
Age of Ultron is a classic example of how not to make a sequel. Where the original Avengers was a tight and focused ensemble movie that mostly focused on the relationship between Iron Man and Captain America, the sequel is a sprawling mess of a film with no less than ten characters who have their own narrative arc, a cavalcade of cameos of past and future heroes, that takes place over four continents with each continent being the scene of some epic action set-piece, while somehow finding time and place to set up future movies in the universe. If all that sounds exhausting to read, let me assure you that watching it provides a very similar experience. It makes me genuinely afraid for the success of the future Avengers movies because by all accounts these new ones are supposed to somehow even more epic that this one. The ultimate proof of the failure of this movie is that every subsequent MCU movie can easily be read as a course-correction to Age of Ultron.
16. DOCTOR STRANGE (2016) dir. Scott Derrickson
Doctor Strange isn't so much bad as it inspires absolutely zero emotion in me. It is perhaps the most visually ambitious of all the MCU movies, and by visually ambitious I mean "looks kind of like Inception." But apart from that, it is a paint-by-the-numbers origin story made in the age when the superhero origin story has more than run its course. It doesn't help that Benedict Cumberbatch's excellent casting is hurt by his horrible attempt at an American accent (Would anybody really have objected if they had just made Doctor Strange British? I didn't think so). Toss in a generic "destruction-from-above" type finale (previously seen in The Avengers, Avengers:Age of Ultron, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and a host of other non-MCU superhero movies) and it lands decidedly in the "meh"-category of MCU movies.
15. IRON MAN 2 (2010) dir. Jon Favreau
No question about it, Iron Man 2 suffers from the sophomore slump. In typical superhero form, the movie trades the one villain from the original for two in the Russian physicist/supervillain Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) and Tony Stark's corporate rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). Meanwhile the movie also drops in the introduction of Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson) and War Machine (Don Cheadle) into the mix. The result is a movie that is much less focused than the original while still trying to run through all the same beats that made the original the smash hit it was making the whole package seem just a little bit less fresh that the original. Still, the movie does introduce one of the best members of the MCU in Black Widow, so it is worth a watch for that point alone.
14. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011) dir. Joe Johnston
There is no doubt in my mind that no matter how often Robert Downey Jr. shows up as Iron Man in these movies that the most important and interesting character in the MCU is Captain America. Unfortunately what makes him the most interesting character is his unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the American way who finds himself transported to a much more cynical, opportunistic, and corrupt version of the America he loved. And that juxtaposition is decidedly absent in the first movie that traces his origins as a patriot in World War II, resulting in a much more blatantly patriotic movie. While there's nothing terribly wrong with the movie, it just does not resonate with this recent citizen as much as it probably does to those born in America.
13. ANT-MAN (2015) dir. Peyton Reed
Ant-Man came at a time of peak superhero exhaustion following the inevitable disappointment from Age of Ultron. As a result it comes across as a breath of fresh air as paradoxically the choice to go for a much smaller and much more intimate story revitalized the MCU. The movie plays more like a heist-comedy than a traditional superhero movie where the stakes are decidedly lower than the CGI-filled end-of-days scenarios of the last movies in MCU's Phase 2. By making the movie smaller (in many more ways than one), it places much more pressure on the central players to deliver great performances and fortunately the cast, helmed by a very funny Paul Rudd, is up to the task. Unfortunately, this movie suffers from being the biggest source of "what-if"-ness in the entire MCU as the original director for this movie was Edgar Wright (a director that my sharp readers will recognize is someone I am somewhat obsessed with). Even if it doesn't match up to the theoretical version that could have been, it is still an entertaining romp.
12. THOR (2011) dir. Kenneth Branagh
With Thor Marvel started to step into the business of universe expansion by bringing the norse god of thunder into the mix. It was also a test to see if Marvel could do different types of stories as the movie dove into more mystical and Shakespearean territory. Fortunately Marvel went two-for-two in terms of casting. First they cast Chris Hemsworth as the titular character who imbibed the perfect mix of gravitas and bro-dom to make him the most underrated character in the MCU. And in Tom Hiddleston's Loki, they managed to create the most compelling villain of the MCU (something that is often sorely lacking in many other movies). Add to that the "fish-out-of-water" comedic elements that ensues when Thor arrives on earth, and the movie becomes much better than you probably remember it for.
11. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 (2017) dir. James Gunn
We've established this before with Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World but sequels are just hard to get right. And unfortunately Guardians Vol. 2 suffers the same curse as those aforementioned movies, though not to the same extent. The second time out finds the gang more or less in their acerbically effective groove so to make it interesting the writers have to employ discord to break the gang up (in order to achieve the same grand feeling of getting the band together that the original had). Unfortunately splitting the gang up reveals that the whole really is more than the sum of their parts. In addition, the music soundtrack which was so much the hidden star of the original is in Vol. 2 only really solid without being a standout. Mind you, none of this makes it a bad movie, just not as good in comparison to the Guardians stunning debut.
10. AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018) dirs. Anthony and Joe Russo
As the culmination of the first decade of the MCU, Infinity War largely succeeds. After spending so much time sitting in a chair in the background of so many previous Marvel movies, uber-villain Thanos finally steps up to the plate and proves to be worthy of all the incredible hype surrounding his appearance. Seeing nearly two dozen superheroes team up in new and surprising ways is also every bit the nerd-joy fest fans hoped it to be while the ending is a truly jaw-dropping moment. Unfortunately hardly anybody not named Thanos gets any real space to develop their storylines. This is also the least accessible movie in the MCU as even the most avid Marvel fan is going to have to dig deep to not feel completely lost in this movie in which ten years and 18 other movies' worth of continuity comes to a head.
9. CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (2016) dirs. Anthony & Joe Russo
The ultimate sign that Age of Ultron was less than the stellar success that Marvel was hoping it would be is that exactly one year later they basically co-opted a Captain America movie in order to make a better Avengers movie. And that decision pays off because in spite of the fact that twelve superheroes face off against one another, the movie never loses focus on the fact that this is truly Caps film. The movie successfully closes Captain America's "patriot" cycle as he moves from literal propaganda machine in the original to an enemy of the state as he chooses loyalty to the people he loves over country. In between we get a full on brawl between superheroes, the fracturing of previous alliances, and a semi-decent and balanced exploration of the inherent tension between freedom and safety. All in all, not a bad movie.
8. IRON MAN 3 (2013) dir. Shane Black
Iron Man 3 had the unenviable task of being the first movie in Phase 2 following the ridiculous success of the billion-dollar grossing The Avengers. Wisely, director Shane Black decided not to try and match the epic scale, and instead created an intimate story as Tony Stark deals with his PTSD following the events of The Avengers which not only taps into the self-destructive darkness inherent in Stark's character but also moves the MCU into a slightly more grounded reality where the fantastical actions of superheroes have real-world implications. The portrayal of the Mandarin by Ben Kingsley is a fantastic and unique subversion of his character, even if it does ultimately rob us of another great villain in the MCU pantheon. But the importance of this movie is that is showed that Marvel could go small and still be as compelling as its more sprawling epics. While The Avengers is the most sensational peak of the MCU, Iron Man 3 reveals exactly how the series has managed to sustain itself and remain fresh.
7. SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (2017) dir. Jon Watts
Spider-Man: Homecoming continues what was a great trend in keeping the Marvel movies somewhat fresh and interesting. Rather than simply creating a superhero movie, Homecoming firmly plants itself in the realm of the high-school movie genre and the results are incredibly rewarding to watch. By placing Peter Parker back in high school not only does it return the character back to its roots but it suggests that the "superhero genre" is in fact an extremely fluid genre that can blend extremely well with other well-established genres for fresh and new expressions of something we are already familiar with. Additionally, in what will be a familiar theme for most of the movies at the top of this list, it is a self-contained story with little concern for larger world-building and can safely and satisfactorily be viewed without having to be savvy to most of the MCU's backstory. As the MCU becomes increasingly bigger and unwieldy, this is a valuable quality for an MCU movie to have.
6. THOR: RAGNAROK (2017) dir. Taika Waititi
With Taika Waititi's entry into the Marvel universe Thor finally gets the sprawling and magical epic that befits his character. It also helps that this is arguably the funniest movie in the MCU. But the comedy here is less of the iconoclastic fourth-wall variety but is the thoroughly earned comedy of superhero veterans who have been around long enough to appreciate the absurdities of their world-saving job descriptions. Chris Hemsworth has never been better as Thor and the supporting cast comprising of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Tom Hiddleston's Loki along with Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, and Idris Elba among others make for a star-studded and entertaining affair. It also manages the impossible trifecta of being a stand-alone movie with a self-contained storyline while simultaneously functioning to retro-fit all of Thor's individual movies into a coherent trilogy and also (briefly) setting up where the MCU is going to head for next. One hopes future MCU borrow from this template more when setting up the next movies.
5. IRON MAN (2008) dir. Jon Favreau
The grandfather that started it all is remarkable for how many things it got right straight off the bat, which only helped pave the way for the movies to come (a lesson that other cinematic universes have not heeded to their peril). Robert Downey Jr. was the perfect person to cast as Tony Stark/Iron Man as his own personal storymatched up perfectly to Stark's own darkness. But the biggest thing that makes the movie (and subsequent MCU) successful is that it had a clear vision of the kind of superhero movie it wanted to be, and that was to be a fun movie that tapped more into our childhood imaginations rather than our adult cynicisms. While it suffers slightly from a bland villain, Iron Man just had to accomplish two things: It had to produce a compelling superhero and leave us wanting to see more. And that it succeeds in doing, and in spades.
4. THE AVENGERS (2012) dir. Joss Whedon
In many ways, this is the most important movie in the MCU because it was the "proof-of-concept" movie. Had the movie failed, the whole idea of cinematic universes would have been cast aside by studios as an untenable concept. Now with the advent of cinematic universes in the intervening years for DC, Spider-Man (failed), King Arthur (DOA), Universal monsters (DOA), and even Hasbro among others we can debate whether the success of The Avengers has been a good thing for movies in general. But what is indisputable is that The Avengers was an incredible gamble by Marvel Studios that required four years and five movies worth of build-up. And it was a gamble that worked, paving the way for everything that was to come.
3. BLACK PANTHER (2018) dir. Ryan Coogler
Black Panther checks off most of the boxes of what makes a good MCU movie. It has a charismatic lead ins Chadwick Boseman, exceptional action set-pieces, a healthy dose of humour, and a story that is faithful to the comic-book formula but with enough twists to keep it from being overly familiar. But it is also so much more as it takes T'Challa's sister's advice to heart "Just because something is good does not mean it cannot be improved". The first superhero movie to have an almost exclusively black cast is a breath of fresh air to the often monolithic MCU and by embracing the African nature of the character and story it adds rich and vibrant diversity to the universe. The scene-stealing female trio of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, and Danai Gurai also make this as much a feminist story as it is an African one. But it is the addition of Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger that truly vaults this movie to the upper echelons of the MCU, as he is an actually compelling and complex villain who is dangerous not because he is a maniacal egomaniac, but because his villainous instincts is borne out of a sense of justice needing to be served making him all the more interesting and a worthy adversary for our heroes.
2. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2014) dir. James Gunn
If The Avengers was Marvel showing that the previously impossible concept of a cinematic universe could be pulled off, then Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel simply rubbing it in the faces of their competition. There was absolutely no reason why a comic book hero team featuring a one-liner tree and a talking racoon should have worked. Even within the comic-book reader realm the announcement that they were making a Guardians movie elicited a collective "huh?" But such was Marvel's confidence in superhero storytelling that they were able to take the perennial B-listers and turning it into one of the funniest, exciting, and action-packed space epics to have come out in years. Plus the true ace-in-the-card for this movie was the astounding soundtrack which served as the perfect backdrop along with the surreal landscapes for the most interesting corner in the MCU.
1. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014) dirs. Anthony and Joe Russo
One of the biggest questions for the MCU in the early was how to translate Captain America, who was conceived during an age of unquestionable patriotism, into an age where rah-rah American exceptionalism was much more of a questionable notion. Their solution in The Winter Soldier was brilliant because they leaned into Cap's wanting to defend truth, justice, and the American way but placed him in a world where his own allies no longer believed in those same principles. In doing so Captain America became no longer a symbol of an outdated Americana, but a prophetic reminder to us of all that we had lost. On top of that, The Winter Soldier is a fantastic conspiracy thriller with a compelling villain, fantastic chemistry between Captain America, Black Widow, and the Falcon, and a truly game-changing reveal that fundamentally altered the rest of the MCU. In short, the best that the MCU had to offer.

While winter may not be the obvious season to plan a wedding, there are many advantages to getting married in the colder months. Picture the bride, wrapped in a chic fur stole. An elegant bed and breakfast with stained glass windows decorated for a Victorian Christmas. Flower girls and bridesmaids in buttoned-up Victorian era boots under vintage gowns. But don't stop there. While a winter wedding may the ideal backdrop for a vintage wedding, it's also an excellent choice for a more modern wedding.
And don't forget, you can save a lot of money when planning a winter wedding! Winter is generally considered the 'off' season as far as weddings are concerned. So, you may be able to find tons of discounts on wedding items during these colder months. But remember, while there are many advantages, there are also a few disadvantages to planning a winter wedding. The important thing is to plan ahead. To get you started, I've compiled a quick list of the pros and cons of a winter wedding. Read more »
October 21st marks the anniversary of Thomas Edison's 1879 lighting of the first incandescent light bulb. This first light bulb burned in Edison's Menlo Park, New Jersey laboratory for almost 14 hours, lighting the way for millions of artificial lights to come. Today, the use of lighting, both artificial and natural, has become somewhat of an art in the bridal industry.
The wedding reception pictured above is an excellent example of carefully balanced natural and artificial lighting used to create ambiance. The bride and groom's seats at the top of the dais are spotlighted, drawing attention to the newlyweds as the two most important people of the day. Lesser players will be seated at the lower seats amid dim, yet romantic candlelight.

Going on a family camping trip is a great family activity. But just because you are away from home does not mean you should eat unhealthy foods. Follow these ten tips to eat healthy and delicious food while camping.
Camping is one of my family's favorite activities. It is so wonderful to get out in the woods, to enjoy nature and all of its beauty and wildness and to be able to spend time together as a family getting lost in the woods, catching fish and drowning worms, canoeing down rivers and creeks, fending off over-fed raccoons and squirrels, roasting marshmallows while trying to avoid roasting ourselves and making memories which will last a lifetime. The two things we don't like to do while camping is to eat so much junk food we ruin our trip by feeling bad and to spend much time preparing our healthier food. Below are ten tips we've gathered through years of camping which help us spend our time outdoors doing what we love while properly fueling our bodies.
1. Plan ahead – Prepare a simple menu with fruits and veggies at every meal. Without planning, I am tempted to fall back on junk food and fast food. A little planning in advance allows me to take only what we will need.
2. Take lots of fruit – Apples, oranges, pineapples, bananas and cantaloupe travel well. A sharp knife provides all the tools you need to prepare them.
3.Freeze meals ahead of time – In the weeks prior to our camping trip, we make a little extra of some main courses and freeze the leftovers. Placed in our cooler, the frozen entrees can take the place of ice for the first few days. Once defrosted, heat and serve.
4. Take frozen vegetables – Bags of frozen vegetables also take the place of ice in our cooler. Once defrosted, they will keep their shape and texture for a few days in the cooler. A small pan of boiling water is an easy way to prepare them once defrosted.
5. Take homemade muffins and/or sweet breads for breakfast and snacks – The day before we leave to go camping, I take a few extra minutes in my kitchen and prepare some whole wheat muffins and/or breads. We love them for breakfast and for snacks. No refrigeration or toasting is required.
6. Take along some shelf stable meat replacements – We love to take Soy Curls with us camping. (Soy Curls are a delicious,d ehydrated, delicately textured soy bean which we use a substitute for meat.) I just premeasure the soy curls into a baggie along with the dry seasonings that we like best. Once again, a small pot of boiling water to rehydrate the Soy Curls and we have a filling main course. With the addition of some barbecue sauce, we have another entree. Any leftovers are great stored in the cooler and when reheated, we serve them over bread.
7. Keep a lookout for produce markets along the way or once you've arrived – There is nothing like fresh, locally grown produce to fill out our meals while camping. We love to find neighborhood markets to explore the local treasures we may not find at home.
8. Freeze gallons of water ahead of time – Often while camping we are tempted to indulge in sugary soft drinks when what we really desire is a nice cold glass of liquid. By freezing gallons of water ahead of time, we have cold water to drink for days and ice for our cooler. As the water starts to defrost, we use it and refill it with fresh room temperature water. By our next meal, we once again have a cold beverage.
9. Take along sweet potatoes, squashes and baking potatoes – All of these vegetables do not need refrigeration and are quite easy to prepare. With the addition of some onions and a cast iron skillet, these core vegetables can take on a wide variety of flavors.
10. Relax and enjoy the margin you have built in to your family's health – By providing healthy and tasty meals the vast majority of the time, we go ahead and indulge our cravings when the mood strikes. When my kids were very little, I remember the advice to examine their eating habits over a week or month, not just one meal at a time. (This was especially handy advice when my son would go through his phases of only eating brown rice, or bananas, or avocados for a day or two.) So, I look at our week as a whole. If the vast majority of food our family has eaten has been healthy and life-giving, then I go ahead and indulge in an occasional treat. A local ice cream store or boiled peanut stand might just be what everyone needs.

Thank you so much for your wonderful coverage of Team Dawud in their first UCP Triathlon. It was a very exhilarating experience for all of us with Team UCP.
It was a very emotional and trying day for us all.
Only one who has traveled and been exposed to many paths of light in life could have been as kind and expressive as you. Thank you again
Congratulations!! THAT is what it is all about. I'm so inspired and proud of all of you. What a wonderful thing you did for these kids and families. Hats off to you!
This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing the pics. There is so much joy coming through in each one of them.
Hi everyone! It was a great day, a great race and all the kids were having fun. I am hooked and will be entering more to come. JT was sooo awesome to my family and all the families he was involved with. What a great guy. So glad we had the chance to meet and he could bring you our story..we received lots of support during the race which was awesome!! You folks rock...much love, Julia's MOM =)
Hey JT! You comment on lots of blogs that I read too but I'd never gotten around to your blog before, so here I am. :)

Hey everyone! I have a great product and company to tell you all about! Shore Soap Co. is a new company, in Newport, Rhode Island, that sells homemade scrubs, soaps, lotions, and more. They use sea salt, sugar, shea butter, and all natural ingredients to create long lasting and quality products!
I was vacationing in Newport, Rhode Island during April and bought the Lazy Lavender Sugar Scrub for $16. They have three other scents which include Original, Captain's Cocktail, and Keylime Cruise.
The description of this scrub on the website is:
Lazy Lavender contains lavender essential oil which is a great soothing scent, perfect for winding down after a long day. Our sugar scrub is designed to exfoliate your skin, removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin softer and smoother. It is one of the gentlest types of body scrubs, making it a good choice for extremely sensitive skin. The sugar is combined with shea butter and natural oils which helps hydrate your skin.
Because all of these products are made by hand there is a post on how they actually make the sugar scrub!
→ http://shoresoapco.com/blogs/news/7817419-making-sugar-scrub ←
This is awesome because you can actually see and know what ingredients you're putting on your body! Too many products contain sulfates and artificial ingredients that can irritate skin. These products are made naturally, so even the most sensitive of skins won't become irritated! :)
Application: I apply some of this product on my arms, legs, and anywhere else I'd like before getting in the shower. This is just easier for me because it doesn't all wash off while I'm putting it on my skin. I get in the shower and rub it gently into my skin You can feel the sugar exfoliating your skin, but the oils keep your skin soft! I happily smell the lavender and wash it off. After my shower, I usually put lotion on but it's not necessary because this product makes your skin so soft!
Opinion: I absolutely love this product! The scent is dreamy and relaxing after a long day. The scrub is not harsh or stripping of my skin, which I find most scrubs are. Because of the Rice bran oil, olive oil, and shea butter, your skin is left feeling extremely moisturized and smooth! You don't even need to lather up in lotion after using this! I would highly recommend this to everyone! No matter what your skin type, this scrub will
remove dead skin cells on the surface of your skin and make your skin extremely soft.
Bargain: Lush's Ocean Salt is another body scrub. The small size is 4.2 oz and $21.95 and the larger size is 8.8 oz. and $35.95..all the scrubs at Shore Soap Co. are 9 oz and $16! (I actually prefer this to Lush's Ocean Salt because it does not strip my skin or make it red.)
What if I want this product but don't live anywhere near Rhode Island?
Don't fear! Shore Soap Co. has a website:

that ships to anywhere in the United States. They also sell gift baskets which would be awesome for a gift for a friend or family member or if you just want to try out an array of their products for a good deal!!

So dare I say the T'Wolves are not as pitiful as we thought? They just beat Sacramento and NY NY. Against NY Big Love scored 30 points and grabbed AN ASTOUNDING 30 BOARDS! Is that his greatness or a testament to HoW BaD the Knick's interior D truly is? Let's call a spade a spade….Love isn't the most athletic man in the NBA. bUT his biddies are some ugly ass peeps. Big Love is one hard working PiMP. Lets take a look at his BoYs:
Granted to be fair this isn't his current look….that ain't MUCH better. In fact I think it makes him look more WHOREISH….and he has SOME BIG TEEF if you know what I mean 🙂
Now Sebastian Telfair is mighty CLEAN cut but there is one constant…Big Love likes Biggie Teef.
And for those who like the "preppy boys" Corey Brewer should fit your bill.
The girls who LoVe the "skinny white boy" are in luck! Darko Milicic is there for ya perusing.
Alas, though I poke fun at Love's BiDDies they have put something together. At 3-7 they may not be the laughing stock of the NBA. This is good news for Target. Their "center" might actually get some positive press before the snow is 10 feet high in January.
Beasley is averaging 20 PPG and WENT OFF against the Kings scoring 42 points. Big Love has scored 18 PPG and averaged nearly 15 boards per game. He WENT OFF against NY Vinnie's FAV team. Add that to Milicic's 2.3 BPG and dare I say the Wolves might win 25 games this year? This would be a VAST improvement from their 2010 showing off 15 wins. Kurt Rambis quite possibly learned something from my "GoD" my "MaKeR" Phil "HOF Coach" Jackson. Thank you Phil for giving the EnTiRe state of Minnesota hope. And thank you BIG LOVE for PiMPING out your team…All LaDies like man whores no matter how fuggley they look.

Quicker Vegetable Stock: Try Shredding the Vegetables
I just picked up a copy of River Cottage Every Day, the latest cookbook from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and am in the process of devouring it one page at a time. But more on that later. For now, I want to share this tip from the book for making super-quick vegetable stock any ol' day of the week.
Fearnley-Whittingstall advises coarsely grating all the vegetables going into the stock. This increases their surface area and helps their flavors infuse more quickly into the stock.
By shredding the vegetables, he says that you can actually make a very serviceable small-batch of stock in just ten minutes. That's just enough time to prep the rest of the dinner meal!
I agree completely with Fearnley-Whittingstall that good stock is one of the best and most versatile ingredients we can have in the kitchen. I also fully admit to buying stock much more frequently than I make it myself. But this short-cut might just help shift that balance.
Have you tried this method for making vegetable stock?

Claire Scherzinger: Synesthesia, personal mythologies and the language of art
Not long ago, we stopped by the historic Coffin Factory Lofts to visit the studio of Toronto-based painter and sculptor Claire Scherzinger. The artist holds a BFA from OCAD University, has shown work across the province and was announced a finalist in the 2015 RBC Canadian Painting Competition at the end of last year. We had an inspiring conversation about the influences leading to her most recent body of work: from synesthetic approaches to painting, awakening personal mythologies and the universal language of art:
What's your first memory related to art?
I made this drawing of a woman on a yellow piece of paper with gel pens and I remember really liking it and showing it to my parents, but then my sister drew on it and I was so upset! I don't know why that memory is the most poignant, but that was the first time that I ever felt I was actually really good at something. I didn't really understand how I was good at drawing, but it made sense. I was so disappointed when my sister drew on that little drawing, but ever since then, I've been using scraps of paper to sketch out ideas.
How have you seen your approach to art-making grow and develop throughout the years?
My upbringing was very creative and I think I've always had big ideas without quite knowing how to implement them. My head has always been in some other world, so I feel my style has adapted itself through bringing this world into different forms, closer to a sort of reality. With my most recent body of work, I sense more of an awakening to the world that's around me. I've begun to write again, images are more abstracted and I feel my personal mythology is coming through.
Would you say your background in creative writing has transformed how you paint?
I'm interested in conveying experiences to as many people as possible, and I think this is why I paint more than I write. Writing has barriers; languages are boundaries that make social and political ties difficult to convey, so the medium becomes limited. At the same time, my writing affects my painting which affects my lifestyle and back again. It's all interconnected. It's the same with music, which is usually my biggest form of stimulation. When I listen to music, I can picture the sounds in my head; it's some sort of synesthesia. These images of other worlds come into my head and I feel the need to let them out.
What's your take on gender disparities in the art world?
I could speak for hours about this because I experience it on a daily basis. Now, although more women are in the picture than there were before, the major representation of artists in the city are still white men. There are little to no racialized bodies. Gender politics is an intersectional issue, but speaking just on gender, there's clear evidence that women don't sell as much as men.
What stigmas do you note around women in the arts?
Men have always been able to make any kind of work they want about any issue. Women are still trapped into making certain kinds of work. Although you can create something about your experience as a woman, you can't count on selling it in the same way men can. It has to be neutralized in some sort of way in order to be put out into the public sphere, which I think is gross. It doesn't help that Toronto in itself is a very conservative city. The whole idea behind contemporary feminism encompasses a huge variety of experiences, but regardless of the fact that we are approaching a form of gender equality, we're still trapped and still have to work twice as hard as our male counterparts.
How do you see this gender inequality changing?
I think the best thing you can do is be kind, considerate and mindful about other's experiences. Be the best version of yourself. This is the mentality I try to keep. It's exhausting to keep arguing otherwise. In the sense of the art world, something that I find very interesting is hearing men and women repeat again and again what is wrong with the Toronto art scene. They say it's too conservative, that we need to take more risks, be more adventurous… But what does that mean? What are you going to do about it? We need to stop making the same boring work and start talking and being open about these issues. Hit the nail on the head. Then, maybe we can have a good conversation and begin creating more politically sensitive work.
Do you find artists shifting towards entrepreneurial action in opposition to commercial gallery dependence? What's your take on this DIY generation?
I feel like this whole DIY generation is more so than ever before about who has money and who doesn't. Seeing these young adults who are making art just because they can, without worrying about working, is definitely defining what is bought and sold in art markets across the world. I also feel like art has become all about the individual… simply another product of a neo-liberalist capitalist system. There will always be a DIY aspect to any art scene, but I think it should be more about how we interpret the zeitgeist within our own situations. Today, I think the zeitgeist is very much about inequality in all of its forms and how it's detrimental if we don't acknowledge its existence. That's a good thing. As a result, there are also a lot of positive entrepreneurial forays happening into making us all, hopefully, less ignorant of what is happening in the world.
How do you balance artistic introspectiveness to make sure you're not losing sight of reality?
It's amazing to have this privilege to be an artist. Art is not monolithic; it's a wonderful experience that we get to share with others. I think it's important to keep away from narrow fields of vision. Most of my friends are artists, but we also have to be open ourselves to other networks, people and other ways of being. Read, go outside, whatever living outside of art means—I've been trying to become better at doing that. I go to metal concerts, have coffee with friends, I'm not always in my studio. Art is like a song, when painting becomes musical…you know you're onto something. For me, it's a universal language, and it comes from how you choose to live your life.

Official Name Czech Republic
Population 10,290,000
Capital City Prague (1.7 million)
Languages Czech (official), Slovic
Official Currency Koruna
Religions Catholic, others
Land Area 78,864 sq km (30,449 sq miles)
The Czech Republic (Czech: ??esk?? republika listen?), is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The republic borders Poland to the north, Germany to the northwest and west, Austria to the south, and Slovakia to the east. Historic Prague (Czech: Praha), a major tourist attraction, is its capital and largest city. The country is composed of two older regions, Bohemia and Moravia, and part of a third one, Silesia. As of May 1, 2004, it is a member state of the European Union. The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1993 announced that the name Czechia
The Czech lands emerged in the late 9th century when it was unified by the Premyslids. The kingdom of Bohemia was a significant local power, but religious conflicts such as the 15th century Hussite Wars and the 17th century Thirty Years War were devastating. It later came under the Habsburg influence and became part of Austria-Hungary.
Following the collapse of this state after World War I, the Czechs and neighbouring Slovaks joined together and formed the independent republic of Czechoslovakia in 1918. This new country contained a large German minority, which would lead to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia when Germany successfully annexed the minority through the Munich Agreement in 1938, and Slovakia gained greater autonomy, with the state renamed "Czecho-Slovakia". Slovakia broke away further in 1939 and the remaining Czech state was occupied by the Germans.
After World War II, a reconstituted Czechoslovakia fell within the Soviet sphere of influence. In 1968, an invasion by Warsaw Pact troops ended the efforts of the country's leaders to liberalise party rule and create "socialism with a human face" during the Prague Spring. In 1989, Czechoslovakia regained its "freedom" through a peaceful "Velvet Revolution". On January 1, 1993, the country peacefully split in two, creating independent Czech and Slovak republics.
According to its constitution the Czech Republic is a parliamentary democracy, whose head of state is a president, indirectly elected every five years by the parliament. The president is also granted specific powers such as the right to nominate Constitutional Court judges, dissolve parliament under certain conditions, and enact a veto on legislation. He also appoints the prime minister, who sets the agenda for most foreign and domestic policy, as well the other members of the cabinet on a proposal by the prime minister.
One of the most stable and prosperous of the post-Communist states, the Czech Republic has been recovering from recession since mid-1999. Growth in 2000-2001 was led by exports to the EU, especially Germany, and foreign investment, while domestic demand is reviving. With a GDP (PPP) per capita of $19,475, the Czech Republic's per-capita output is approximately two-thirds that of the large Western European economies and approximately on par with that of Portugal, Greece and Slovenia.

Pak court orders release of LeT founder
The Lahore High Court stated in its order that Hafeez Muhammad Saeed's detention was against the Constitution and law.india Updated: Oct 17, 2006 15:28 IST
A Pakistani court on Tuesday ordered the release of Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafeez Muhammad Saeed, ignoring the government's argument that his "increasing activities" could hurt relations with "neighbouring" countries.
In his order, Lahore High Court Judge Justice Akhter Shabbir asked the government to immediately release Saeed, who was detained on August 28, saying his detention was against the Constitution and law.
According to Saeed's Attorney Nazeer Ahmad Ghazi, the judge held the arrest order and the reasons given by the government as "unlawful" and ordered his immediate release. A detailed judgement was expected later.
The arrest of the head of the self-proclaimed NGO Jamat-ud-Dawa was challenged by his wife Mehmoona Saeed.
Even though the government has not given any reasons for the detention of Saeed, it told the Lahore High Court on Monday that one of the reasons for his detention was that his "increased activities" could hurt relations with neighbouring countries.
He also said JuD collected donations for war victims of Palestine and Lebanon besides its increased activities hurting ties with neighbours.
The court declined to accept both the reasons, Ghazi told the agency from Lahore.
The United States has already banned JuD and sought the ban by the UN Security Council committee on terrorism.

Embracing The Big Society
Comrades, it is with not a little difficulty that I have decided to make the best of a bad situation.
I have decided to embrace the Cameron administration's fuzzy "Big Society" idea. And I make no apologies for using the word, "idea". In its vaguest possible sense.
I am embracing "Big Society". I shall conveniently ignore the fact it's essentially a wishy-washy PR cover up for an intensification of the neoliberal accumulation & centralisation of wealth and power. Rather, I shall make like a village idiot and throw myself spreadeagled into the warm bossum of what will now be, I am sure, an explosion of volunturism to replace essential public services.
If you believe in something enough, it will happen. Yes?
I and my three beautiful wives will be available in four of South London's busiest train stations (London Bridge, Waterloo, Clapham Junction & East Croydon) during the evening rushhour Monday to Friday, selling our handjob services to relieve stressed commuters after a hard day's slog at the core abstract furnace of hypercapitalism. With the money we scrape together we will subsequently try our best to fund numerous services in our glorious half-city, including care of the elderly & benefit payments for the mentally ill.
I am willing to be whatever South London needs me to be…

Last week saw the launch of a brand-new community exhibition 'Burnby Hall Gardens Restoration Project, The Story So Far' at Pocklington Arts Centre.
This free exhibition tells the story of the three-year Golden Jubilee Restoration Project, exploring the essential restoration work needed and highlighting the dedication and hard work of all the community groups and volunteers involved so far.
This exhibition features the latest updates from the restoration project as well as artwork from the Beverley Mental Health Art Group, a volunteer research display and photography in thanks to the Pocklington Camera Club.
The exhibition will run for six weeks until Thursday 10 May and is located in the studio at the arts centre.
There is also the opportunity to see a special edit of the drone footage, filmed and edited by Peter Knowles amateur dronist.
This short film provides a new perspective on the Gardens and the restoration project work.
The exhibition is part of the Golden Jubilee Restoration Project, which in funded in thanks to National Lottery Players.
In 2016 Burnby Hall Gardens was awarded £634,800 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
This grant is essential for ensuring the famous hardy water lily collection is safeguarded for future generations. The Gardens were originally designed by the Stewart family from 1904 until Major Percy
Stewart's death in 1962 when he left the Gardens in Trust to the people of Pocklington.
