Jean Grey/ Phoenix Appreciation
I've read comments from Marvel.com and other comic websites displaying unfund hatred for one of the original X Men. So I want to create a thread dedicated to others appreciation and love for Jean grey. why you love her, and for some who hate her( and I know someone's gonna troll) why you do? Favorite moment, and especially feats that shows her strength and badassness. GO!!!

I prefer Jean without the Phoenix Force because of the Phoenix arcs after the original.. JEan is my FAVORITE marvel character, and probably the X-man with the second most amount of fans(behind only Wolverine.) Jean takes ALOT of hate because of the size of her fanbase, and the Phoenix, which, in turn with its namesake, allows Jean to rise from her ashes. Though I'm not a comic reader, I have seen ALOT of pictures here on Comicvine that are bad-ass.

I love Jean and its about time she got her own appreciation thread on comicvine. The things i like about jean are her powers, her relationships w everyone else and her costumes! One of my fav jean moments is where she guided the space shuttle in uxm to earth and her reunion w scott in xf.
Jean is one of my favorite characters, i grew up with reading and watching her awesomeness on tv. She is one really skilled character, and has some of the best costumes i've seen. But if she were to come back in 616, i would like to see her without the phoenix for a good while, cause i find her more interesting as a person, when she is just Jean Grey.
I used to really dislike Jean Grey, back when I first got into comics. She just seemed so perfect, with the Phoenix Force's level of power and everyone falling in love with her and being trusted by everyone. I just didn't feel I could relate to her and that she was basically written to be the dream girl.
But when I read the Claremont run and saw her before she had those powers and seeing her relationship as it developed with Cyclops and with the other X-Men as well as reading how she was handling the Phoenix Force and how it changed her, and how she was affected by it, for better and for worse, I came to respect her. It's awesome that she has these god like powers but what really makes me a Jean Grey Fan flag waver is how she retained her humanity despite what she went though and kept from being drunk on power and from abusing it. She stays true to herself and to the X-Men even though she's now more powerful than them all and could just go off and create chaos or a new utopia.

i like jean grey tho her relationship with cyclops and wolverine kinda made both men look douchey ie. wolverine constantly trying to get between her and scott even after they got married, and scott dumping the mother of his child without a second thought for her and then cheating on her with emma

the first time i decided i liked Jean was the first time i read/ watched X-men, since i was very young i loved jean, she has always been my fav character in all marvel. She is so kind and has a great story. she is a major part of why i love the X-men and i cannot wait for her inevitable return. my fav part was when she expelled apocolypse from cyclops' body
What makes Jean awesome for one I think she was the first telekinetic in Marvel alone but the first telekinetic/telpath hybrid. Also another great thing is that the comic book always remind readers that Jean isnt perfect and it took time and sacrifice to grip her powers, relationships, and life. Finally the Best thing about Jean is her strong willed mind, loyalty and strength it took for her to weild the Phoenix Force and keep her sanity and not betray and destroy her x-men.
i was just hearing about hope and the second coming in march,and the some comments on comicvine want jean to stay dead. i have no idea why they say that knowing that she is part of the resurrection force. its just haters being haters and saying she's weak but they haven't read xmen revolutions and how badass she was. its the writers and their inept abilitiy to write a good jean story. i want something like a joss whedon character like illyria or willow people who have vast powers and are learning to be or stay human while interacting and fighting with others. sorry for the rant but had to be said. discuss your thoughts.
I've always loved Jean and Storm. I used to hate Emma because of Jean. Now, I just like both.
I love Jean because I kinda picture her like Prue from Charmed, only far more awesome............She has a relationship with all of the X-Men, and the series doesn't quite feel the same without her their (Charmed!)
And Rachel is NOT a replacement. She's a half-filled cup.

Rachel is in no way a Jean replacement...she's her own character...
Emma however, used to be a great character (even as a hero) but as of lately she just seems like a second-rate Jean replacement...
which sucks because I do want to like her, but I don't see a reason too...don't get me wrong I don't hate her (she's not even real) I just find her ok...
imo she shines best as an independent woman......
but anyways this is Jean's thread sooooooo back to her.....what's ya'lls favorite costume of hers?
my favorite is definitely her miniskirt look from her Marvel Girl days
I fell in love with Jeannie during X-Men: TAS. Of course, it was the Phoenix Saga that did it.
She was so sacrificing, and there was such a human element to the way she fought to contain the Phoenix's hunger.
And she never gives up. So, in my mind, Jean has some amazing qualities - she's definitely one of my faves (I'm one of those rare Jean AND Storm lovers).
I've been reading Jean-centric comics ever since.
My favorite moment? Can't say for sure, but a hilarious moment was when she made the U-Men sh!t themselves. True TK bada$$ness!
Why does she gets so much hate? My thought is this: people don't hate Jean, they hate the way she's been portrayed. When most people think Jean, they think the Phoenix Force, or they think Scott Summers (and the whole Summers' family tree). I don't think those are bad things to be associated with, but there's got to be more than just those storylines. At least, I want to see more in Jean's development than that. And I won't even get started on how damn near everybody in the Marvel U has been a PF host at sometime or in some alternate universe, or What If? issue.
Back to respecting Jean... there is SO much more to explore in Jean, & there are a thousand different stories that have NOTHING TO DO with the Phoenix, Scott, or Wolverine.
I'd like to see her come into her own & then deal w/the force, & deal w/all the dudes that wanna bang her.
They need to show her more in the present cartoons, like her being there in Wolverine and the x-men for one episode, and only about 20 flashbacks didn't sit well with me :P

I don't mind her, but the deaths are kinda redundant. ...Seriously, there has to be a final death.

Jean has he milestone in Comic Book History as the first ever superhero to die.. Back in those days, superheroes are always winners.. they may be punched and knocked out a few times but they will still win in the end.. Jean Grey changed that perspective.. she proved that superheroes are still humans.. that like any other human, she is flawed.. like the immortal words, "Power corrupts.. and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.."
she is the first superhero to display the weakness and fragility of being human, and on her last moments, showed everyone the strength of of that flawed human heart.. she showed everyone that true power is not with omnipotence or strength.. but rather, with love and sacrifice if it meant saving the ones you love most..
with with respect to Jean Grey, i would like to repeat the words of the Watcher during the last pages of the Dark Phoenix Saga.. words that are immortalized in my heart and soul..
"Jean Grey could have lived to become a GOD.. but it was more important to her that she die.. a HUMAN"

I remember reading that last bit with the Watcher and Recorder but I didn't really get it back then...I was pretty young and all I knew was that one of my favorite comicbook characters had just died and, needless to say, I was very upset...It wasn't until I did a re-read a few years later that I truly understood what they were trying to say...
great pull, lord_oraculous016...

Sprint to Throttle Customers Using More Than 23GB of Data Monthly
The move is being made to protect other customers from the abuses of a small number of users who can at times hog network resources.Sprint is now imposing a 23GB monthly high-speed data threshold on new mobile customers who have unlimited data accounts that will drop them to lower speeds on the network when they reach that data pinnacle. After 23GB of data is used each month, those customers will still have access to unlimited data under their phone plans, but their usage will be prioritized below other customers, Dr. John Saw, Sprint's chief technology officer, wrote in an Oct. 16 post on the Sprint Blog. The move is being made to ensure that the 97 percent of Sprint customers who use much smaller amounts of data aren't slowed down by the 3 percent of large-scale users who can hog the company's network, wrote Saw. The 23GB threshold is being added so the company can better manage its resources for all customers, he wrote. "One way we aim to make the customer experience better is to protect against the possibility that a small minority of customers might occupy an unreasonable share of network resources," wrote Saw. "With that in mind, we are introducing a new Quality of Service (QoS) practice that applies to customers who choose an unlimited data handset plan launched Oct. 16, 2015, or after, or customers who choose to upgrade their handset on or after Oct. 16 and remain on an existing unlimited data plan. For these customers, if they use more than 23GB of data during a billing cycle, they will be prioritized on the network below other customers for the remainder of their billing cycle, only in times and locations where the network is constrained."
Customers with unlimited accounts who reach the 23GB threshold will continue to receive data services without extra charges, but at potentially slower speeds.

Labour mocked for attacking VAT rise on food even though most of the weekly shop is exempt
- New poster accuses Cameron and Clegg of being 'two peas in a pod'
- Says the pair have hiked food bills by £450 a year
- But Tories say food and other essentials are tax free
- Comes just days after party political broadcast flopped
- Film featured out-of-touch Tories bullying shrinking Nick Clegg
Ed Miliband faced fresh mockery today after a second Labour attack advert in a week backfired.
The party released a poster accusing David Cameron and Nick Clegg of being 'two peas in a pod' and putting £450 on a family's food bill. It said George Osborne's 2010 VAT hike to 20 per cent had caused the price of the weekly shop to rocket.
But the poster featured a host of everyday items that carry no VAT at all - because they are deemed essential by the Government.
Labour's new attack on the Coalition accused Nick Clegg and David Cameron of acting together to hike the cost of the weekly shop. But most of a family's everyday food bill is VAT free
The botched attack ad came just days after the party was accused of resorting to a 'crass' class war after releasing a party political broadcast featuring Nick Clegg as the 'Un-credible shrinking man'.
Today's poster shows the Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader surrounded by images of everyday goods, including fruit and vegetables, soft drinks, ketchup and biscuits.
But most food and drink carries no VAT - although duty is charged on specific products such as alcohol, crisps and savoury snacks, and confectionery.
However, even the chocolate chip cookies used in Labour's poster campaign appear to be VAT-free.
According to Treasury rules, 'biscuits covered or partly covered in chocolate or some other products similar in taste and appearance to chocolate are standard-rated' at 20 per cent.
But 'chocolate chip biscuits where the chips are either included in the dough or pressed into the surface before baking' are VAT free.
Only when biscuits are 'wholly or partly coated' in chocolate do they carry VAT, according to HMRC's bizarre rules.
However, they are at pains to point out that the classic 'bourbon' biscuit 'and other biscuits where the chocolate or similar product forms a sandwich layer between two biscuit halves' are not taxed at all.
'Jaffa cakes and biscuits coated with caramel' are also VAT free.
Tory MP Henry Smith accused Labour of not knowing what they were talking about.
He said: 'It's the same old economic incompetence from Labour. They have no long-term plan to fix the economy so instead Ed Miliband resorts to political gimmicks that don't even add up.'
A spoof of the Labour ad was almost immediately created online, replacing Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg with Labour's leading figures Mr Miliband and Ed Balls.
The impromptu rebuttal says: 'Miliband and Balls, two Eds with no idea.'
The Tories immediately flipped the Labour attack back on Ed Miliband - accusing him of being so 'out of touch' he did not know food was VAT-free
But a Labour Party spokesman said: 'David Cameron and Nick Clegg are desperately trying to deflect from the truth of their VAT bombshell.
'Their decision to increase VAT has added £450 to family bills over the year, on the Treasury's own figures.
'Families are paying more on their typical weekly shop as a result of the Tories and the Lib Dems and this poster rightly holds them to account.
'It is not an itemised list of everything they have increased VAT on - it is a representation of an average shopping basket.'
Earlier this week Mr Miliband faced criticism from members of his own party over its 'un-credible shrinking man' political broadcast.
Scroll down for video
Ed Miliband has been accused of resorting to 'crass' class warfare in Labour's new advert for the European elections which features a shrinking Nick Clegg character (pictured)
The US-style attack advert is based on the 1950s film The Incredible Shrinking Man and seeks to portray Tories (character on right) as out-of-touch toff who bully Nick Clegg (left)
The film, titled shows an actor playing Mr Clegg shrinking in size as he ditches policies such as opposition to university tuition fees.
By the end of the film – a parody of the US 1957 movie The Incredible Shrinking Man – he is a tiny doll-like figure.
The ad is thought to be the first product of Labour's new collaboration with American election guru David Axelrod
One Tory 'minister' suggests he should be hunted, before an actor playing the PM sets the Downing Street cat on him.
The US-style attack ad is thought to be the first product of Labour's relationship with American elections guru David Axelrod.
A Labour source said: 'It was aimed at younger people who don't usually engage with politics and we think it has been effective.'
Party election campaign co-ordinator Douglas Alexander said the film was 'a bit of fun' but made a 'serious point'.
But critics in the party say its relentlessly negative message suggested a lack of ambition.
Some MPs said it recalled the 2008 Crewe and Nantwich by-election when an attempt to paint Tory candidate Edward Timpson as a toff backfired and led to a humiliating defeat.
One former minister described the film as 'crass'. He added: 'We tried waging class war in Crewe. It failed then and it will fail now.
'The trouble is the kids in the leader's team are probably too young to remember that.'
Another Labour MP said the broadcast was 'depressing', adding: 'Where was the positive vision to attract swing voters?'
Mark Ferguson, editor of the influential grassroots website LabourList, said the film lacked a 'positive agenda'.
Left-wing Guardian columnist Owen Jones said it was 'a classic example of politics with the hope stripped away'.
The advert takes place around the Cabinet table as 'posh' Tories lead by an actor playing David Cameron force Nick Clegg to backtrack on policies such as tuition fees
As Clegg abandons each of the policies he shrinks into his suit. However Labour critics say the ad doesn't mention Europe or their party
Mr Clegg tried to laugh off the film's efforts to ridicule him. He said: 'They spent money on this? Particularly from Ed Miliband who is the sort of missing man in British politics.
'He hasn't breathed a word about the issue we're supposed to be debating, which is whether we're in or out of Europe.'

About Me
To know myself
I don't know, I'm bad at describing myself because I always get hung up on the things that define me. I guess you are what you love, and I love being in motion and doing things. Walking, running, hiking, working out, that sort of thing. I love to read and write, I love listening to music and people. I love drawing and making fun creations for my friends in Adobe Illustrator.
Let's see, what else.. I love the moon and the sun, and trees and the ocean, and I'm an excellent whistler. I suppose that's about it :3 Oh, and I'm a vegetarian.
"..ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Right now I'm traveling and I don't have the opportunity to host. Though, I have hosted in the past and I look forward to hosting again.
So far, it's been awesome. It's a great way to see places from an more wholesome perspective. A few months ago, I drove from Maryland to California in a beat up old Honda Accord, and I couchsurfed most of the way. It was way cool.
Music, trees, books, debuachery, summer, pickles, oranges, animals, bugs, people, drawing, painting, thinking, laughing, and rolling around on the floor.

The same goes for movies, and as far as music goes, I think I like a lot of classic rock, alternative rock, and indie rock.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I was in Malawi, Africa on October something or other when the wet season started and all the termites came out with the first rain. The air was so thick with them, it looked like the entire world was flying around.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you about birds, bugs, plants and germs :) I can sing for you, and play guitar (poorly), and I can do impersonations and I suppose I can cook you dinner. I make a mean vegan chili and stir-fry.

Any chance you could add a paragraph or two and relate this five-way join to an actual sample query to show just what the permutations might be and the order that they would be processed? This also might help clarify your use of 'depth first' and 'left deep'.

Marcy Baruch
Red-haired and musically ambidextrous, Marcy Baruch has pole-vaulted into the inner sanctum of Denver-area singer-songwriters. Her debut recording, Clearly, suggests she's paid the dues to be there.
It's easy to imagine much of the material on Clearly co-opted by aspiring Faiths and Shanias, artists who toil in the gray stylistic divide between sugarcoated country and plain old power pop. But Baruch does just fine when she tackles the stuff herself. Though she sometimes mans acoustic guitar, piano and keyboards, she is most visible as a vocalist, backed here by the five-piece Elephant Band.
Some of the sonic accoutrements Baruch chooses to adorn her songs have a slightly dated feel; wah-wahing guitars and keyboard solos add unnecessary "flair" to otherwise solid and truly catchy material. And at times her songwriting feels a little too familiar, recalling everyone from Kim Carnes to Stevie Nicks. Baruch's individuality is most evocatively suggested by the spindly "Simple Is Enough," with its pitch-perfect harmonies and understated melody, and by "Crazy," a rollicking up-tempo dare of a number that suggests she knows how to work it as well as how to wail.

Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Storiesby Kelly Link, Gavin J. Grant (Editor)
Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels/b>
In the first major YA steampunk anthology, fourteen top storytellers push the genre's mix of sci-fi, fantasy, history, and adventure in fascinating new directions.
Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans solve crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships. Here, fourteen masters of speculative fiction, including two graphic storytellers, embrace the genre's established themes and refashion them in surprising ways and settings as diverse as Appalachia, ancient Rome, future Australia, and alternate California. Visionaries Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant have invited all-new explorations and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies its genre even as it defines it.
Editorial Reviews
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Veteran editors Link and Grant serve up a delicious mix of original stories from 14 skilled writers and artists...Chockful of gear-driven automatons, looming dirigibles, and wildly implausible time machines, these often baroque, intensely anachronistic tales should please steampunks of all ages.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Within these pages, there's a little something for everyone...This exceptional anthology does great service to the steampunk subgenre and will do much to further its audience.
—School Library Journal (starred review)
Editors Link and Gavin treat fans, old and new, to an array of fantastically rich stories in this polished, outstanding collection...the result is an anthology that is almost impossible to put down... From rebellious motorists to girl bandits, the characters in this imaginative collection shine, and there isn't a weak story in the mix; each one offers depth and delight.
—Booklist (starred review)
It is about time that steampunk short stories really got a focused and creative exploration in YA lit, and this anthology of fourteen pieces is an excellent start.

This book has something for all steampunk fans. Some were more "steampunkish" than the others. Cassandra Clare's 'Some fortunate future day' was too short to like or understand the main character. 2 more pages describing what motivated Rose's actions would have done it more justice. Also when compared to the others, this one fell short. 'The Last Ride of the Glory Girls' and 'The Ghost of Cwmlech Manor' were good but predictable. 'Clockwork Fagin' was the best of all and stayed true to the genre. There were two graphic novels included in the book which I thought was a welcome break. I liked 'Seven Days Beset by Demons' better than 'The Finishing School'. The former was short and simple while the latter was hard to follow. 'Hand in Glove' is a detective story which I liked despite the ending. It had great character development except for the mysterious murderer. I just didn't get it. 'Gethsemane', was enjoyable but I felt that the ending was rushed. 'The Summer People' was creepy or atleast I thought so. It had an ominous feeling to it from the start. I was asking myself what would I have I done if I were in her shoes. The others were less memorable except for 'Steam Girl' which was ok. flag
Best book ever.
She looks at u thoughtfully with her bright blue eyes for a second trying to geuss your age
I absolutely love this book definitely reccomend it
A very interesting anthology. The central theme, of course, being "steampunk", but the diversity of the stories really made the book worthwhile.

Those of you who see this and are like, da hell thats not how pico went. Well, imagine this story as the true happenings, beneath the cover up of Casandra being an alien thing, what really happened. Or not, u can just not believe it. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
Low Quality is suggested...
This would be my Pico Day submission entitled, A Pico Thing. It's a little bit more than 5 minutes long and 5,000 frames(a lot of it is frame by frame). I gotta thank newgrounds for helping me get to where I am today. If this site didn't exist, I would be somewhere very far away doing something very different.( maybe a pirate in the Caribbean).
It all started around March 15th, the week before my spring break. I read one of Tom's front page posts and it mentioned Pico Day, and I just kind of read it over, not thinking I would actually make a cartoon. That night I thought about it. I was still unsure whether to make one or not. So I went and played the Pico game the next day, and it struck me, Pico vs The Scientist Nerd, so I began to storyboard that idea. I figured it would be done, so I put a little more spin on the idea...
So I finished the storyboard, and during my spring break started to animate it. I put in lots of references to other stuff. One of the more obvious ones is Alien Hominid.
So as I worked on the cartoon relentlessly, college would occasionally take up all my time( or hanging out with people, I do that too) and I went for some time without touching the cartoon. So it only about a month of work, but it still took a shitload of work, and I am definitely proud of the final product.
Yeah, anybody gonna read this far down? Sorry about the music, I didn't really have much time to make a full out soundtrack to the movie on my own, and just didn't look through the audio portal. Sorry the size and lack of an entertaining loading page.
wow thats some good animation skills.
it was a bit jumpy but it was still awsome (keep it up)
why thank you
guy drains his main vein.

ah ha! Steamy. But why is this chapter so short??
Also, one typo I guess
"it was a good three to four second and both her eyes met and were locked"
If both he eyes met and locked, that would be really funny lol!
Great piece again! Way to go man :-)
I want ghosts! I want ghosts!
Kshitij's comment about eyes locking was really funny!
I have one more question - if Shruti was on the right window seat, and our hero next to her, how could the other two beautiful girls also be on his right?
One more type - hair'pin' bend, not hair bin!
Very realistic portrayal of the events. Do let me know when you post further.
u have got a long life...i was going to ask you abou the next chapter today and there it is...BUt...it is so small....
i do agree about ambassadors...Mom always wanted a car like that..u won't believe that the shock absorber in that is too good...and it is indeed the best car...i miss them so much....
About hair pin bend, Urja already pointed out..
the story is moving really really nicely but long chapters are in demand...
i am living in India through this story...THANKS
I honestly love it...u must seriously think about publishing it....
by centrifugal force to squeeze Shruti to the window...great imagery...I could see that perfectly and the squeeze of mild turn-on.
Fun story B!

In 2002 a draft sequence of the mouse genome was published and the NIH described this as "the genetic blueprint for the most important animal model in biomedical research." Every human gene has a mouse homologue and this enhances the probability that research using mice can provide novel insights into human disease. The long-term objective of this research program is to provide novel data concerning proteins that regulate sleep.
The Specific Aims were developed to address the mission of the agency and are directly relevant to the goals of the 2007 NHLBI Strategic Research Plan. All three aims address NHLBI challenge 1.1.b. "to identify intracellular targets of key signaling and transcriptional pathways in normal and pathological states." Pain disrupts sleep and there is an emerging understanding of the clinically significant interaction between sleep disruption, and pain perception.
Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that B6.V-Lepob mice lacking the ability to produce the protein leptin differ from congenic C57BL/6J (B6) mice in their response to nociceptive stimuli, before and after administration of cholinergic and adenosinergic agonists into the pontine reticular formation. By replacing leptin, Aim 1 also will determine whether leptin can restore the adenosinergic modulation of nociception.
Aim 2 focuses on adenosinergic and cholinergic activation of G proteins in prefrontal cortex and pontine reticular formation regions known to regulate sleep and breathing. Another family of proteins referred to as "Regulators of G protein Signaling" (RGS proteins) decrease the duration and strength of G protein actions.
Aim 2 will use transgenic mice to test the hypothesis that cholinergic and adenosinergic activation of G proteins in sleep-related brain regions differs between mice that are homozygous and heterozygous for RGS-insensitive proteins.
Aim 3 will provide functional data regarding RGS protein regulation of sleep phenotypes.
Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that RGS insensitive mice exhibit genotype- specific changes in cortical acetylcholine release, EEG power, sleep, and behavior caused by cortical delivery of cholinergic and adenosinergic agonists and antagonists. The three aims are conceptually unified by their shared focus on proteins as lower-level phenotypes that modulate higher-level phenotypes of sleep, nociception, and acetylcholine release in brain regions known to regulate sleep and breathing.
The NIH National Center for Sleep Disorders web site notes that more than 70 million Americans have a sleep disorder. Thus, disordered sleep is a significant public health burden. This research program will provide new and needed information on brain proteins regulating sleep.

Concerning hobbits
The Moment: Bilbo opens the trilogy with a brief explanation of hobbiting ways, their likes and dislikes, and what makes them so special.
The Awesome: The extended version offers a welcome vision of bucolic loveliness, taking the time to explain just what is at stake for Frodo and friends, and stressing how remarkable it is that such quiet-loving creatures could be the ones to save Middle-earth.
The Green Dragon
The Moment: The hobbits return to the Green Dragon pub after their long adventure, only to find life pretty much unchanged, the residents of Hobbiton oblivious to their exploits. Just as they like it.
The Awesome: Okay, so there are too many endings, but even accepting that criticism, it's still nice to see the story brought full circle. And Sam gets the girl as well!
The story continues
The Moment: The trailer for The Hobbit looks set to continue the brilliance of the original trilogy, with Martin Freeman stepping into Ian Holm's shoes as Bilbo Baggins.
The Awesome: The trailer fills us with a wonderful sense of nostalgia for the Shire, and Middle-earth as a whole. 14 December can't come soon enough…
Saruman's speech
The Moment: Saruman amasses his forces and sends them to Helm's deep with the following words: "A new power is rising… its victory is at hand. This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan. March to Helm's Deep… leave none alive."
The Awesome: The solitary tear that rolls down Wormtongue's cheek is a nice touch, as he realises the full extent of Saruman's evil.
End credits
The Moment: As the trilogy closes, the end credits roll, with each member of the cast's name accompanied by a beautiful sketch of their character. A brilliant touch.
The Awesome: It's a wonderfully celebratory way to close the series. We particularly like the fact that fallen hero Boromir also gets his due here.
Preparing war
The Moment: Aragorn dashes into the quarters of King Theoden to inform him that the beacons of Minas Tirith have been lit. "Gondor calls for aid," he cries. Considering for just a moment, Thedon grits his teeth and replies, "and Rohan will answer."
The Awesome: The petty quarrels of men are finally put aside, as Rohan and Gondor unite to take on Sauron.
The Moment: Legolas defies the laws of physics to mount Gimli's horse in spectacular style. The boy has got some moves…
The Awesome: We know it's a bit silly, but Legolas's flash-harry antics never fail to raise a smile. Gimli can only dream of such showboating skills!
Sam's monologue
The Moment: Sam encourages Frodo to keep going at the end of The Two Towers , with the following spine-tingling monologue: "It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for."
The Awesome: Sam is the heart and soul of the trilogy, and this little speech sums up his stout-hearted bravery. Good man.
Bilbo's trolls
The Moment: In the extended cut of Fellowship, the hobbits come across the petrified statues of the trolls encountered by Bilbo on his adventure. Hopefully we'll see them up and about in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey .
The Awesome: It's a throwaway moment, but a nice call-back to the prequel story. One that Peter Jackson will now be able to revisit in more detail…
The Prancing Pony
The Moment: The Ringwraiths smash their way into the village of Bree, head to the Prancing Pony, and plunge their blades into four hobbit-shaped beds. Fortunately, Aragorn has formulated a cunning plan…
The Awesome: It's a deft little switcheroo from Aragorn, and one that serves to alleviate a not inconsiderable degree of tension. Phew!
Family feud
The Moment: Denethor turns on his son Faramir, who queries, "you wish now that our places had been exchanged… that I had died and Boromir had lived?" "Yes," replies his father, "I wish that." Cold.
The Awesome: John Noble's performance as Denethor is supremely chilly, and nowhere is this more apparent than in his cruel rejection of Faramir.
The strength of men
The Moment: Elrond pours scorn upon Gandalf for suggesting that he put his faith in the strength of men. "The race of men is failing. The blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of men the ring survives. I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago, when Isildur took the ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed."
The Awesome: It's just a cracking bit of dialogue, delivered impeccably by Hugo Weaving.
Gandalf rides out
The Moment: As the Nazgul attack the retreating warriors of Osgiliath, Gandalf rides out to meet them, driving back the winged aggressors with the brilliant light of his staff.
The Awesome: Gandalf to the rescue, not for the first or indeed the last time. Never gets old though, does it?
The Dead Marshes
The Moment: Gollum leads Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshes, where the corpses of long dead warriors linger ghoulishly below the surface…
The Awesome: It's a pleasingly macabre sequence, made all the creepier by Gollum's glee at the hobbits' discomfort. "Careful now," he sneers, "or hobbits go down to join the dead ones, and light little candles of their own."
Pippin's song
The Moment: Pippin sings to Denethor, as Faramir leads the men of Gondor into battle. A beautiful moment of peace amid the bombast of battle.
The Awesome: Billy Boyd has got a belting voice, and his performance is a beautiful counterpoint to the mayhem of the battlefield.
Legolas vs. Oliphaunt
The Moment: Legolas scales a marauding Oliphaunt, dispatching its riders before planting an arrow in its brain and sliding down its trunk to safety. Pretty smooth…
The Awesome: "That still only counts as one," rages Gimli, putting the finishing touch on an excellent set-piece.
Aragorn returns
The Moment: Aragorn returns to Helm's Deep, slinging open the wooden doors and swaggering to the aid of King Theoden.
The Awesome: The prodigal son returns, and in some style as well. The fantasy equivalent of a gunslinger bringing conversation in the local saloon to an abrupt halt.
Bilbo's birthday
The Moment: Bilbo and the rest of the Shire make merry at the old hobbit's birthday celebrations, with a host of spectacular fireworks laid on by Gandalf.
The Awesome: The scene in which the dragon firework is launched by Merry and Pippin is more spectacular than most common or garden action sequences! Magical stuff.
The journey
The Moment: Gandalf reassures Pippin that death is not something to be feared: "The journey doesn't end here," he begins. "Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it… White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
The Awesome: Billy Boyd and Ian McKellen share a number of moving scenes in Return Of The King , and this is the pick of the bunch. McKellen really knows how to make Tolkien's words sing.
Galadriel's gifts
The Moment: The magnificent Lady of Lothlorien bestows a selection of gifts upon the Fellowship. Poor Gimli is quite star-struck however, asking only for the opportunity to look upon Galadriel one last time, "for she is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth."
The Awesome: It's nice to see Galadriel get a little more exposure in the extended cut, and in fairness to Gimli, she really does look radiant here!
Smeagol vs. Deagol
The Moment: Andy Serkis finally gets his face on screen, in the surprisingly brutal tussle between Smeagol and Deagol. The ring of power always corrupts, you know…
The Awesome: It's a shocking start to the third film, and a scene that reminds the viewer just how bound to the ring Gollum has become…
Glimpsing Gollum
The Moment: As the Fellowship journey into the Mines of Moria, Gandalf informs Frodo that they are being followed, a pair of beady eyes glimmering in the darkness…
The Awesome: We love the ensuing exchange between Frodo and Gandalf… "It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance," says Frodo, hotly. "Pity?" replies Gandalf. "It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand."
Funeral pyre
The Moment: The unhinged Denethor prepares a blazing funeral pyre for himself and son Faramir, until Gandalf and Pippin intervene. Nothing will stop the Steward of Gondor taking his own life however, even if his son must be spared…
The Awesome: As exits go, setting yourself on fire and jumping from a great height into a crowded battlefield is a pretty spectacular option!
The Mouth of Sauron
The Moment: The Black Gate opens to reveal the Mouth of Sauron, a hideous emissary who throws Frodo's Mithril vest at a horrified Gandalf. Aragorn isn't best pleased, and promptly lops off the ambassador's head. "I guess that concludes negotiations," quips Gimli.
The Awesome: Cut from the final film, the Mouth of Sauron is a truly unsettling proposition. Gruesome in the extreme…
Dwarf tossing
The Moment: Gimli entreats Aragorn to toss him into the fray at Helm's deep, only requesting that Legolas be kept in the dark about it.
The Awesome: Gimli and Aragorn launch themselves into a crowd of orcs about 50-strong. That's heroism for you!
Words of wisdom
The Moment: Boromir comforts Frodo in the woods of Lothlorien. "Gandalf's death was not in vain. Nor would he have you give up hope. You carry a heavy burden, Frodo — don't carry the weight of the dead."
The Awesome: We see Boromir act less than valiantly around Frodo on a number of occasions, but in this instance, his only thoughts are for the hobbit's peace of mind. A welcome scene, in its willingness to paint Boromir in a more favourable light.
I am no man
The Moment: Eowyn confronts the fearsome Witch King, beheading his winged steed before seeing to the rider himself. "No man can kill me," snarls Sauron's minion. "I am no man," replies Eowyn.
The Awesome: Eowyn doesn't muck about, jamming her sword straight into the Witch King's face. Nice assist from Merry, too.
Saruman vs. Gandalf
The Moment: Saruman reveals that he has allied himself with Sauron, provoking a right royal dust-up with his old friend Gandalf.
The Awesome: Christopher Lee and Ian McKellen throw themselves into this fight scene like a pair of twenty-year-olds! Somehow, their advancing years serve only to make this scene feel more brutal…
The black rider
The Moment: One of the Ringwraiths makes its presence felt, scaring the hobbits half to death as they cower for shelter under a well-placed log.
The Awesome: The Ringwraiths are bloody terrifying, what with their hooded faces and demonic steeds. Its an unbearably tense introduction to the first film's chief antagonists…
The Council of Elrond
The Moment: Old wounds reopen between the various races present at the Council Of Elrond, with the bickering only subsiding when Frodo steps up to the plate and volunteers to take the ring to Mount Doom.
The Awesome: Gandalf's reaction to Frodo's bravery is priceless, the venerable wizard wincing at the huge burden to be placed upon the halfling.
Enter Gandalf
The Moment: Gandalf the Grey makes his bow, informing Frodo that, "a wizard is never late Frodo Baggins… nor is he early… he arrives precisely when he means to!"
The Awesome: Ian McKellen's twinkly-eyed brilliance is in full effect from the word go. Note his faux-innocence at the notion he has been branded a "disturber of the peace"…
Come and claim him
The Moment: Arwen heads with Frodo to Rivendell, a posse of Ringwraiths on her tail. As she reaches a river crossing, she sends the black riders flying with a bit of Elvish magic…
The Awesome: Liv Tyler shows she can chuck out a one-liner with the best of them, taunting her pursuers with, "If you want him, come and claim him."
The legend of the ring
The Moment: The Fellowship Of The Ring starts in spectacular style, telling the story of the ring of power and its passage from Sauron to Isildur to Bilbo.
The Awesome: Now that is how you kick off a fantasy epic. Only a couple of minutes in, and we've already been treated to one of the most jaw-dropping battle sequences in celluloid history.
Stupid fat hobbit!
The Moment: Sam cooks up a delicious rabbit stew, much to the chagrin of Gollum. So ensues a culinary debate, in which Gollum turns his nose up at Sam's longing for fish and chips. "Give it to us raw and wriggling," he hisses, "you keep nasty chips!"
The Awesome: The dynamic between Sam and Gollum is racked with tension for much of The Two Towers , but it's also the source of some of the film's more humorous moments too!
The Moment: Aragorn is finally crowned King of Gondor, with Arwen on his arm as Queen. A happy ending at long last.
The Awesome: After three films worth of breathless carnage, the audience has earned this pay-off. Sealed with a kiss!
Honouring the hobbits
The Moment: Following swiftly on from the coronation comes Aragorn's honouring of his Halfling friends. "My friends," he says, as the Hobbits kneel before him, "you bow to noone." And with that, the King of Gondor sinks to his knees in tribute to the four most unlikely heroes ever seen to walk Middle-earth.
The Awesome: Well they deserve it, don't they? Despite the trouble caused by Pippin along the way...
Troll attack
The Moment: A swarm of orcs force their way into the tomb of Balin, accompanied by a hulking cave troll. One hell of a battle ensues…
The Awesome: Chained and ill-used by its masters, the troll is a surprisingly sympathetic figure, particularly when blundering round in its death throws. It's testament to the magic of Peter Jackson that audiences feel sorry for the monster that nearly killed off the hero just seconds earlier.
Gollum's demise
The Moment: As Frodo is about to pitch the ring into the fires of Mount Doom, Gollum makes one last grab for his precious. He eventually manages to get hold of it, but not before losing his balance and plunging to a fiery end…
The Awesome: At long last the ring is destroyed, taking poor old Gollum with it. It was meant to be, really…
Give them a moment
The Moment: The trilogy delivers its first emotional hammer-blow, as Gandalf the Grey is claimed by the flailing whip of the fallen Balrog. Cue much heartbreak amid the snow-capped mountain-tops.
The Awesome: Boromir speaks for all of us when he beseeches Aragorn to, "give them a moment, for pity's sake." Not a dry eye in the house…
Ent attack
The Moment: The Ents come to get some revenge on Saruman, attacking Isengaard with all their might. Payback's a bitch.
The Awesome: Finally, the pondourous Ents get in on the action. We particularly like the bit when the one that's been set ablaze dives into the cooling waters of the burst dam.
Lean on me
The Moment: With Frodo greatly weakened by the journey to Mount Doom, Sam is forced to take matters into his own hands. "I can't carry it for you," he cries, "but I can carry you." And with that, he throws his friend over his shoulder, and begins the agonising climb to the summit.
The Awesome: Sam really is a bit of a hero, isn't he? Just about as capable a gardener as ever we've encountered!
The Moment: Aragorn battles the Uruk-hai leader, Lurtz, finally seeing off Saruman's leftenant with a well-aimed swing of his broadsword. Off with his head!
The Awesome: Aragorn might turn him over eventually, but Lurtz is quite the warrior. Special mention must go to the deleted scene in which he licks his own blood off Aragorn's knife. Nasty.
The Moment: Frodo finds himself being stalked by something big, dark and hairy… it's only a giant spider, isn't it? Yikes…
The Awesome: The way Peter Jackson teases Shelob's big reveal is masterfully done. Cue mass squirming in the multiplex.
Lighting the beacons
The Moment: Pippin lights the beacon at Minas Tirith, setting off a chain-reaction of beacon-lighting across Middle-earth.
The Awesome: It's a truly majestic sequence. As Gandalf murmurs to himself, "hope is kindled."
Rallying the troops
The Moment: Aragorn gets his speech on at the Black Gate of Mordor: "Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, men of the West!"
The Awesome: Read it through again. Need we say more?
My captain, my king
The Moment: Boromir makes amends with Aragorn as he slips into the hereafter. "I would have followed you my brother," he says. "My captain… my king."
The Awesome: The chemistry between Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean is absolutely electric in one of the most emotionally charged scenes of the trilogy. As death scenes go, this one takes some beating.
Split personality
The Moment: Jackson shines a light on Gollum's schizophrenic nature by showing him arguing with himself over whether or not to betray Frodo.
The Awesome: Credit must go to Andy Serkis for his skilled portrayal of both sides of the coin. Poor old Smeagol, he's still in there somewhere…
Pelennor Fields
The Moment: King Theoden leads the Rohirrim into battle upon the sweeping plain of Pellenor Fields, coming to the aid of Minas Tirith at the pivotal moment.
The Awesome: Theoden really gets the goosebumps going with his rallying cry: "Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin… and the world's ending! Death! Death! DEAATTTTTHH!"
You shall not pass
The Moment: Gandalf faces down the infernal Balrog, warding it off with a swish of his staff and the immortal war-cry, "You shall not pass!"
The Awesome: This is the first time we see Gandalf in full-on badass mode, and it's quite the spectacle. If this doesn't give you goosebumps, you're probably dead.
Look to the East
The Moment: Just as the Battle of Helm's Deep looks lost, Aragorn remembers Gandalf's promise to arrive at first light on the fifth day. Sure enough, the white wizard is as good as his word and leads the Rohirrim into battle through a burst of brilliant white light.
The Awesome: Gandalf single-handedly turns the tide in one of the trilogy's most chest-beatingly awesome action sequences.

A review of the available worldwide evidence on the effects of increased potassium in our diets was recently carried out.1 The review specifically examined how higher potassium intake could reduce the risk of having a heart attack in healthy adults.
There is plenty of evidence to show that boosting your potassium intake to the recommended daily level (3,500mg) is associated with a drop in your blood pressure compared to lower intake levels; however, only people with high blood pressure experienced this effect. Further findings from nine observational studies indicated that a higher intake of potassium could reduce stroke risk by 24%.
You are what you eat
A balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit (particularly bananas), beef, bread, fish, milk, nuts, poultry, pulses, seeds and vegetables should provide you with all the potassium your body requires. However, too much potassium can be harmful particularly if you are already taking certain blood pressure drugs or have kidney disease.
This study supports the recommended daily amount of potassium but cannot draw any conclusions about the impact of increased potassium intake for children, nor can the results be applied to people with impaired kidney function. There are certain medications that may impair your ability to control potassium and tests for these were not included in the review.
Before you rush out to buy bananas or potassium pills, it always makes sense to check in with your doctor and take their advice first.

Juicing can ward off cancer, make you feel stronger than ever by giving your immune system a boost and even decrease your chances of a heart attack. Plus, opting for a detox juice recipe is great for giving your skin the goodness it needs to stay looking gorgeous.

Even if you're in need of a major health overhaul, juicing is a great antidote to that sluggish feeling we all get from time to time - you should feel lighter, healthier and more energized after just a couple of days.

Travel Blogs from Yogyakarta
... to pick up some simple phrases, as we always try to put in the effort to do, so we were able to order in Indonesian.
One of the main reasons for staying at Omar Sabah was the raving reviews, and most importantly the extreme praise for the breakfast. We were sure to inform them that we would like a local breakfast. A large bowl, full to the brim with egg, tofu, tempe, vegetables, sticky rice cubes, and a chicken drumstick, all submerged in a delicious mild curry ...
Yoga and Borobudur
... so many people stopped to just say hello to us. Why is everyone so nice here?!!! Biking was sick. Made me miss biking in Oxford. So fun. Then we headed back to hotel and went or for dinner. Dinner was so good. Had tofu finally and some really good noodles. Then went back and showered and had to sleep early cause had to be up at 4am to go watch sunrise at the temple. Obviously me and Karum didn't cause the Chelsea city game was on ...
The Carving is the Thing: Borobudur and Prambanan
... magnificently carved panels. The first levels illustrate major events in the life of the Buddha Guatama, Indian founder of Buddhism, including some of his early pre-human lives as various kinds of very generous-spirited animals. After Buddha's journey to enlightenment is completed a couple of levels up, next comes the story of the boy Sudhana who seeks and eventually achieves enlightenment when sent by the Bhoddisatva of knowledge named Manjusri. Another sequence ...
Temples, Meditation and Palaces
... 500 Buddha statues. When it was first rediscovered it had been buried in volcanic ash for over 800 years and the clean up operation took months. The nearby volcano erupts every year and almost always lays down a layer of ash over the temple. The reliefs around the side tell the story of Buddha, from his birth to his death. The view surrounding the temple is just stunning, over looking hills and mountains and on a clear day you can see the volcano. In ...
... temple where the locals only pay 30.000 rupiah and the foreigners 205.000 rupiah. Luckily I had my student card with me, so I only paid 110.000 rupiah. Still after paying this amount of money you would think that the Prambanan is the biggest attraction to see. Well it is not, the biggest attraction was the two white people going to the Prambanan. Everybody wanted to make photos with us and this just won't stop.
One day later ...

Hello all,
I have a simple copy task, that will copy ~4000 files in a directory tree to another dir *unchanged*:
For some unknown reason, the Ant copy task overwrites image files even if overwrite="false". For all other file types preservation of existing files seems to work, that is existing *.ini, *.xml, *.php files are skipped. It's just that the copy *always* destroys/overwrites my own logo.png in the destination's images subdir.
Is this a bug?
I had to change my fileset to
to make it work. But it's just an unreliable workaround.
Can anyone tell what it is? Could you please try this on your machine please and confirm Ant's wrong behavior? Whenever that task is called and there are files in the destination dir, no files should be overwritten. But the logo.png always is...
PS: The dir structure is this
+-- destination
+-- source
+-- dir1
+-- dir2
+-- images
+-- logo.png
+-- dir3
Of course you must copy another logo.png file to the destination dir for each run.
