Turned up just before 10am to find at least five teams in front! At least another five turned up after we'd done the first pitch.
Led the first pitch then soloed the rest. Had waited 25 years to do this so waiting half an hour for teams to move on didn't seem too much of a burden.

Lead P1 then soloed the rest. The top of P1 barely hanging after the 6 people in front and sun had done its work.

Fantastic day out. Left the car at 08.00, the first pitch was in the sun and was melting fast despite the sub zero temperatures.Also, there was a lot of water coming over the fall. Phil (& Dave Ryder) did a good lead as the ice was poor & there were some moves on rock to get to the belay.

Tough grade finish on 1st pitch. probably grade 4.steven - AltLd O/S - 08/Dec/10 with Dave Ryder
Main pitch running in the middle and looked dodgy on the (very short!) walk in. However, it was climbable on the left with good ice (though exposed to spray in places) and slightly dodgy at the top where the ice catches the morning sun. Rob led this, then I led the next small step after which we put the rope away and soloed the rest. This was where the real surprise was... The ice just kept coming!

Ah yes, the Big-Data revolution. To listen to the vendors and the Apache Hadoop faithful, Big Data is the latest and greatest buzzword that will save your company from wasteful spending, ineffective marketing campaigns, and customer bleeding. It's the best of Business Intelligence, Business Analytics, Data Mining, and a whole lot more, tied up with a ribbon.
But is Big Data really about gleaning all that juicy information from transaction logs, enterprise databases and unstructured data sources? Not quite. Right now, Big Data is mostly about just having a place to put all your data so you can actually perform calculations across it.
And that's why, while Big Data isn't just about Hadoop, we believe that right now, Big Data is mostly about Hadoop. That's because Hadoop is today's best general solution for cost-effectively storing huge chunks of data and then performing computation across that data.
Yes, there are dozens of companies that will sell you expensive solutions to do just this, but Hadoop is the best way to get in the Big-Data room without spending millions of dollars for the privilege.
So Big Data, step one, is about putting your information into Hadoop. The second step, which is where we expect most data-rich enterprises to be by the end of this year and into 2013, is to begin to actually ask that data questions. That's where analytics tools come into the picture. And as you can see in our Big-Data story this month, that's also where a lot of companies are hoping to make a big impact. But until enterprises get their data into a Hadoop cluster (or any alternative platforms that spring up), all the analytics in the world won't matter: A petabyte of data is just a concept unless you've got a place to put it.
In memory of Alan Turing
Alan Turing, the British mathematician and computer scientist, was born on June 23, 1912—one hundred years ago this month.
To computer scientists and historians, Alan Turing is most famous for his work at Bletchley Park, England, during World War II. His algorithms were critical to breaking German codes, and for his involvement in the construction of computers (called bombes) that helped automate the decryption process. His name is synonymous with the Enigma, the German navy's fiendishly complicated code machine.

Review: Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale (Bottle)
By Niko I (FF)
I was looking to give Great Lakes an opportunity to redeem themselves after the disappointing Eliot Ness, so I picked up their Irish Ale. I'm glad I did too, because this beer is pretty damn delicious. I call Great Lakes the masters of malt for a reason and this beer is no exception. Conway's Irish is not particularly complex, but it delivers lots of toasty biscuit, caramel, honey, pretzel, and lightly roasted coffee flavors.
Score = 8.5/10

Though owners pledge not to sue Major League Baseball when they purchase a team, that's not stopping plenty of lawyers from closely observing the battle between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's over San Jose.
The spectre of a lawsuit from either party has surely been a concern to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig as he maneuvers MLB through some pretty nasty hurdles. On the one hand, the Giants generate a quarter of their revenue from Silicon Valley businesses and fans, so you can see why ownership would be hesitant about allowing an A's move there. On the other hand, A's owner Lew Wolff knows San Jose well and rightly sees it as the answer to his team's financial needs. But Wolff put Selig in a bad situation by announcing his intent to build a San Jose ballpark before seeking a consensus on the issue from MLB owners, and he's paid the price -- as Selig and his committee have patiently waited for the storm to pass.
But it hasn't. So now we're in a situation that could get even uglier, with lawyers potentially ready to pounce no matter what Selig does, according to Steve Henson at Yahoo News. It is a problem that simply won't go away. Selig has been pretty consistent about his guiding principles regarding franchise movement -- if an existing city can show it's serious about a ballpark solution, the team won't be moved.
In any case, we don't see 75 percent of MLB owners agreeing to a move of the A's -- if the numbers were there, Selig would have probably already called a vote. Do the math: if the commissioner is allowed to disregard territorial rights here, what's to stop him from allowing the Tampa Bay Rays to move to New Jersey or Connecticut? Or stop the Cleveland Indians from moving to Boston or Philadelphia? Or stop the next A's owner from moving the team to downtown Los Angeles? Every big-market team relies on MLB territorial rules to maintain local monopolies. The current territorial setup has worked well for Major League Baseball, and you can bet that no one in the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox or Phillies front offices want to see it go.

The Virginia Department of Transportation will redesign part of Charlottesville's planned Western Bypass to preserve a historic African-American family cemetery.
The Sammons family cemetery was found - in the direct path of the bypass - during preliminary stages of construction in January.
Lou Hatter, VDOT spokesperson for the Culpeper District, says they're making this change out of respect for the Sammons family. No specific realignment designs are available yet.
VDOT says the cemetery will be preserved intact within the right of way and outside the construction limits and that they will provide access to the site - for the family - after the roadwork is done.

Help on Key Word Searches Using Wildcards
There is no need to enter an asterisk (*) for a wildcard search. Wildcard searches are automatic. In cases where you are presented with search fields that allow you to enter text, you will have the option of entering all or part of a name. The automatic wildcard feature will return a result set with each entry using wildcards for your searches. Wildcards provide a method for completing searches even when you do not know all of the required information.
Often, a candidate, committee, or PAC name entered does not match the name under which the entity filed reports. Also, a contributor's name may appear in the database in a different form than what you have entered. If, after reviewing this information concerning key word searches, you are unable to complete your search, contact the staff of the Commission at (609) 292-8700 or Toll Free in NJ at 1-888-313-ELEC (3532) for assistance.
Wildcards for Candidate or Contributor Names
An example of the value that automatic wildcards add to searches is a search on a name that such as "Williamson." The name can be searched by entering "Will," William," or "Williams." Therefore, if you entered the word "Will" in the non-individual name field, all variations in the database having the letters "Will" will be presented in the result set.
Another example of performing a search is to search by other criteria such as PAC Type, Party Affiliation, Year, etc and leave out reference to a name.
All of the search fields are optional. However, due to the size of the searchable database it is recommended you make at least one selection. If you are not sure of a search field or don't want to narrow your search by that field leave the selection at "ALL".
Search by Candidate Name when looking for filings by a specific candidate. First name and middle initial are optional, or use part of a name and Wildcards.
Use Committee Name to search for a joint candidates committee or other election-related committee. Do not use this option if you are searching for the "Committee to Elect" or "Election Fund of" a single candidate (see Search by Candidate Name). When searching for a committee, other than a single candidate committee, and you know the spelling of the committee name, click on the Committee Name button and enter the name, or use part of a name and Wildcards.
Use Office to search for candidates running for a specific office(s). Selecting the office sought helps narrow your search if the candidate has/is running for more than one office.
Use one of the two Location search boxes to find those entities filing reports in a specific legislative district, county or municipality. Use Statewide for gubernatorial or statewide ballot question committees only. Note: using the location of "Statewide" will not return a result which has searched through the entire location data bank.
Use Location All (Statewide, Legislative District or County) - to select either All or a specific location by selecting Statewide, a Legislative District, a County or Municipality within a County.
Or use Location All (Alphabetical) - to select either All or select from an alphabetical location list.
Use Party Affiliation to search by a specific party.
Use Election Type to search within a specific election.
Use Year to search for entities within a specific election year.
Use the Sort Order options to return your requested information organized in a manner useful to you. The default Sort Order is alphabetical by candidate/committee name.
Candidate and Election Related Committees Filing Periods - Form Description and the Time Periods Covered
Form R-1 is the detailed activity report form used by candidates or committees expending in excess of the threshold. It is used for quarterly pre-election, election cycle and quarterly post-election reporting. When the Form R-1 is used for quarterly pre-election reporting, it is shown on the Internet under the Form column as R1-Q with an associated filing period. See the R1-Q Filing Period Table below. Starting with the year 2004, the Form R-1 when filed for a pre-election quarterly report will be shown on the Internet under the Form column as RQ-2004, any pre-election reports filed in 2005 will be shown as RQ-2005, RQ-2006 in 2006, etc. The associated filing periods are 1, 2, 3 or 4. See the Form RQ-2004 Table below.
When the Form R-1 is used for election cycle reporting it is shown on the Internet under the Form column as R with an associated filing period of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. See the R-1 Filing Period Table.
*Because a filer can have a filing obligation at any quarterly filing date, the information contained in their first report can either be from the beginning of that quarter or from the end of the last 20-day post-election reporting period.
The R1-Q quarterly report filing periods, due dates and periods covered for the 1999 Primary through the 2005 general elections are listed below.
(Because scanning of reports did not commence until the 1999 Primary election, quarterly reports filed prior to the year 1999 for any election held in 1999 are not available electronically. Additionally, the quarterly schedule for the year 1999 and prior is not included here.)

WHO IS HE: Allen Edwards, the man known as "The Voice of Branson," began singing in public at age 6 at church, and by the time he was in college at Purdue University, he was performing regularly in clubs and restaurants throughout northwest Indiana. After graduating, Edwards maintained dual careers as a singer and policeman, eventually moving to Houston where he scored local hits with the songs "Walk Out Backward" and "Houston Just Ain't Big Enough." The success of the song "Could We Please Stay in Love for a While" led to an engagement in Branson, Mo. where Edwards wound up being a hit. He was able to open at the Roy Clark Celebrity Theater and a year later was opening his own breakfast show at a local hotel. Sixteen years later, Edwards headlines his own breakfast, lunch and dinner shows at the Allen Edwards Dining Showroom.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Singer Allen Edwards comes to the Resorts Casino Hotel for an engagement where he will get to display the singing pipes that have made him "The Voice of Branson." A performer with a conservative approach, the former police officer is proud to acknowledge his love of God, family and country. "I am so glad I had both careers," Edwards says on his official website. "The law enforcement career gave me eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to know the truth about our county. It instilled in me the desire to always help people and give them a beacon of hope, and that's what I strive to do at each and every show." Edwards' vocal style is reminiscent of greats such as Perry Como, Jim Reeves, Neil Diamond and Engelbert Humperdinck. Fans can look forward to hearing Edwards favorites including "Walk Out Backward," "Houston Just Ain't Big Enough" and "Could We Please Stay in Love For a While.
WEBSITE: AllenEdwardsTheSinger.com
SHOW INFO: Tickets are $25. The shows begin at 8 p.m. Tuesdays and 3:30 and 8 p.m. Wednesdays through May 29 at Resorts Casino Hotel.

Brain Damage0 Reviews
I also decided they had no idea what they were talking about.
The doctors were telling my parents that my brain had gone without oxygen for too long, and that if I ever did wake up I would have significant brain damage. That was completely wrong. My brain was fine; nothing was wrong with me. I had almost healed myself, if they kindly would have stayed out of it.
However, their words still brought a wisp of fear to me. If there was something wrong with me, I definitely wanted them to fix it. But it wasn't my brain. My mind was perfectly fine and intact. So was my heart, still beating strong.
Long-forgotten memories began to resurface in my mind. Some of them were familiar, while others didn't even seem to belong to me. I fell into a dream, imagining myself lying in a field of grass and staring up at a sun-drenched blue sky. A large gray moon rested right next to the sun. There were a few pale clouds close to it, but nothing dangerous or dark. I smiled to myself. The scene was comforting. Happy, even.
The imagery changed. I was now standing in a darkened hallway leading to nowhere, a single sunlit window gracing the wall beside me. I began walking, but as I progressed, strange figures began to appear around me. Strange, thoughtless forms shifted into the shapes of people, faces plastered to the floor and walls, even the ceiling in some cases. Newspaper was scattered everywhere. I tried to pick one up, but my hand went right through it as if I were only a ghost. It didn't bother me. In fact, it seemed normal.
An explosion of thoughts hit my mind all at once, a collection of memories and obscure thoughts. I couldn't take it. I screamed in agony, but no one responded. I shouldn't have been surprised; I was the only one there and I always would be. Nothing would ever hurt me again. Nothing. I hoped the guys would be okay without me, because I didn't plan on coming back. Their songs would definitely be different from now on, but I knew they would get through it. They could get through anything as long as they had each other. I would miss them, and to some extent I wished they could join me. But I didn't want to be selfish. Other people needed them more than I did.
The scene returned to the grassy field once again, where the moon had moved ever so slightly in front of the sun. The light was beginning to become obscured. Ominous dark clouds appeared as well, rumbling with thunder and threatening to rain. I wasn't afraid, though. I had nothing to be afraid of.
The clouds cleared away as quickly as they had come, but the sunlight was now gone completely. The moon had completely eclipsed the sun.
My heart froze in awe. I had never seen an eclipse so clearly before, or one so beautiful. The moon was dark, a true black, and seemed to be lit up with white fire from behind. I could die happy now.
I guess it's a good thing, because I heard the extended beep of the heart monitor sound painfully close to my ears, a shrill sound that made the clocks seem easily bearable. I knew all the darkness was gone from my heart when I heard it, and the eclipse became complete.
'I'll see you soon, guys,' I thought to myself, finally able to smile. 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.'

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success. Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.

Parents expressed concern about how the notifies parents of head lice cases at the November Board of Education meeting.
"At present only the child's classroom in which the lice is found is provided with notification," said Stacy Trantino, a representative from the PTA.
Assistant Superintendent Barbara Horsley explained that there had been 36 total cases of lice reported as of last week, which she classified as a normal number for this time of year.
"It's the kind of thing that happens as people close up their houses and the winter progresses," Horsley said. "If a live case of head lice is found on a child within the building, the child is sent home and the class is checked. The parent is then asked to provide proof they have treated the problem and they come back to school."
Horsley added that all families within that class are notified that a case was found and that their child has been checked by the school nurse. The nurse also checks the child on which the lice was found and any siblings in the district before he or she returns to class.
"Our concern is that not only does that child expose children within his/her own classroom but they go to gym, to art and ride buses and in all of those activities, there is a much wider exposure to children than just in the classroom of the child that has the lice," Trantino said. "A request has been made if there can be a reconsideration to the district policy."
Parents requested the whole school be notified or a general letter go home in the beginning of school about the time of year lice is prevalent. Horsley said that in some of the schools there is a letter that is sent home in the opening packet.
"Notifying the entire school for one case could be more than is appropriate in terms of attention to the issue," she said. "But sending one out at the opening of school so people are on notice, I can talk with the principals about that."
There is no district policy on lice notification, just "procedures we try to be consistent about," Horsley said.
Other parents at the meeting said classes were not being checked after cases were reported. Horsley responded that if a case was found on a weekend and is treated, the classes would not be checked.
"We did a full round of 'are we being consistent,' but if they missed that one, they won't miss the next one, because we made that concretely clear," Horsley said.
Speakers added that Farmingdale parents are worried and going to a business in Hauppauge called DeLiceful to treat the cases, which charges more than $100 per child to treat for lice.
"That is unnecessary," Horsley said. "But if you don't have a child where it happened in your classroom or home before, you might be blind sighted."

Art in the Bathroom
Inspiration Gallery
Since the invention of indoor plumbing, we have worked to elevate our room of necessity to a room of reprieve. We've fussed over paint, tile, fixture placement and shower curtains. But what about art?
It may not be the first thing you think of when planning a bathroom, but there's no denying the impact a few well-placed works can have in the commode abode. Whether it's a gallery wall, an oversized print or one small, precious piece – artwork in the bathroom has the power to transform, restore and reignite one of the most mundane spaces in the home. So go ahead – be bold, make a statement and reimagine the primping palace in your home.

I don't know what bugs me more about #3: the wallpaper itself or the fact that the toilet isn't centered.
Wouldn't any paper-based art get damaged from steam from the shower?
#16 is so amazing! That green with the white subway tiles is "so fresh and so clean clean"!
I like the black and white stripes. I want to see more of that bathroom. The glass shower seems to open it up pretty nicely.
Wow... First off- "Clean up on aisle five." Someone is spamming the heck out of this post. Ha.
Art in the bathroom is fine as long as it isn't anything you really care about. Humidity (and in gerneral any proximity to water) is one of Art's greatest nemeses. I would stick to cheap posters and found art dans le bain.
the only inspiration i get from the last one.. is a reminder to buy tylenol.. lol that would be too much..
I know this is not the point of this post, but oh my goodness, I want the copper tub in picture #1......
I also want the copper tub... and I love the use of the ledge in #13.
I would hate to be drunk & have to use #3. o.O
Also? Is there no mirror in #6?
The steamy environment is the trickiest part about decorating bathroom walls. I hang topographic maps in mine. I like the way they look, they remind me of my favorite hikes and they're waterproof.
Ann-Marie, those things bug me too but the fact that the picture is crooked makes it even worse!
misskitty I LOVE that there isnt a mirror, just an affirmation of beauty! the flirt at the Cingular store made my phone say "well hello beautiful" when i turn it on about a decade ago and it still does. I love it and it reminds me of that non mirror. maybe they have a full length on the back of the door, that would be good enough.
I love #5, however impractical! Who needs a mirror when you wake up and see "you look marvelous" everyday?!
#7 is definitely interesting and unique and could be used in multiple applications. I think it would be great for a boy's room or a mountain cabin. It also reminds me of LGN's post: The Map Room http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2011/04/map-room.html
how odd---I'm listening to sonic youth's goo this moment (#16)
the map above the marble bath #8 is pretty great

Dr. Alliegro A Candidate For Ninth Congressional District
By: SAM HOUGHTON, March 11, 2014
Mark C. Alliegro, a Waquoit resident and Town Meeting member, will run for US Congress as a Republican candidate vying for William R. Keating's seat in Massachusetts's 9th congressional district.
"I look around me and see a great country in trouble," Dr. Alliegro said. "Whether liberal, conservative, disheartened Democrats and Republicans, you don't find many people happy with how things are run today. This is a wonderful country we live in, but we are truly in danger of losing our freedom."
Dr. Alliegro moved to Falmouth in 2007 to work for the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole and so he and his wife, Maryanne Alliegro, could be closer to her family. The two, who have been married for 32 years, live on Metoxit Road. They have two daughters, Nicole, 28, a broadcaster in the Boston area, and Kelley, 24, who is in the Navy and currently on the USS George H.W. Bush "heading to parts unknown," as Dr. Alliegro said.
Dr. Alliegro is relatively new to politics, having worked as a cell biologist for more than 30 years. He is a senior scientist at the MBL, where he and his wife run the Alliegro Lab and study cell division. He teaches at Brown University, where he recently taught a graduate-level course on molecular and cellular biology.
However, he has temporarily put aside much of his work to make time for the campaign. He has raised funds from individual donors and through events, such as dinner parties. Speaking from Maryland after attending the Conservative Political Action Conference on Wednesday, Dr. Alliegro said that he works on the campaign seven days a week, from early morning until late at night.
His involvement in politics started a little over two years ago when he began The Upper Cape Tea Party, which began as a grassroots campaign with approximately 10 members. He said that the Tea Party often gets "smeared" by the media which portrays members as "anarchists" and "racist loonies." But really, he said, the Upper Cape group "is a network of concerned people worried about this country, worried that we are taxed too much. These are your neighbors. They don't have two heads but are sweet people that are well informed."
The Upper Cape Tea Party has grown to approximately 170 members and meets monthly, Dr. Alliegro said.
While he is the founder of the group, he refers to himself as a Republican and says much of the problems he sees cross party lines. "Republicans make big mistakes and Democrats make big mistakes. Most of what Republicans stand for, I agree with, much less so than Democrats. I believe in the principles of Republicans."
He understands the need to tax in order to pay for a defense budget or to study science and other benefits taxes pay for, but "it is how much do you spend and when" he said. "When people are suffering and without jobs and the country is in debt, you have to ease up on the reins a little bit."
In education, Dr. Alliegro believes that the federal government should keep its distance. "Our curriculum should not be controlled by Washington, DC," he said. "I like community control of schools. It belongs to the local districts, to the towns and to the villages."
Since President Jimmy Carter created the US Department of Education, Dr. Alliegro said that education in the country has slowly declined. "A factual trend, since the federal government became involved in education, our system has been in a long, slow downward spiral in competition with other countries," he said.
Common Core, he said, is a recent trend toward the federal government retaining more control. "What might work in Falmouth, might not work in Chicago," he said.
He supports renewable energy initiatives when they are used responsibly, he said. "I'm an outdoorsman. I'm a hiker. A scuba diver. There's nobody that has more respect for the outdoors than me. I grew up as an environmentalist."
The Keystone Pipeline, a project he supports, is an example of how the environmental movement has shifted. "A vast majority of our fossil fuels are transported by pipeline. Pipeline transportation is cheaper, cleaner, and safer," he said. "There is a mentality of stop our energy production at all costs, even if it doesn't make a difference for jobs or to the environment." Trucks and trains transporting fossil fuels are costly and dangerous compared to pipelines, he said.
As an example of pushing green initiatives too hard, Dr. Alliegro pointed to wind turbines. "If you live in Idaho and want to set up a wind turbine, that's great. But they don't belong as an eyesore on Nantucket Sound or in our neighbor's back yard," he said. "I would explore all options," he said.
He has a hard time believing the notion that it would cost $25 million to take them down. He said he was not sure of the costs, but he believes someone would come to take them away for their own use at a much cheaper cost.
The notion that global warming is man-made, he said, is a sham. "If Mars is warming and Jupiter is warming and there are indications that Pluto is warming, the earth's temperature rising cannot be due to SUVs or farm runoff. The bottom line is that there is no credible evidence that man is causing it." Not long ago, he said, scientists believed the Earth was cooling. The climate has always been changing and it will continue to change, he said.
"In some parts of the planet, the sea level is rising, but in other places in the world, it is dropping," he said. "That is a fact."
Dr. Alliegro grew up in the Bensonhurst area of Brooklyn, where his mother taught him how to treat others the way he wanted to be treated. Often, he said, Tea Party members are regarded as racist. This is far from the truth he said. He grew up with blacks, Jews, Italians and members of other ethnic groups. "When I look at a person, I don't look at the color of their skin. I look at their heart and I don't care if they are black, white or green."

NortheasternEEDr. Alliegro, If you read this please take note. Wind turbines do not belong here, there or in Idaho. As a Scientist you must understand the difference between power and energy. Wind turbine power varies with the speed of the wind cubed, and the wind is in constant flux. In the absence of bulk energy storage, which is unavailable and no one can predict when, if ever it will be available, wind energy is an impotent and expensive add-on energy source to the power grid. It only functions with the aid of flexible fossil fuel power sources that can run more efficiently in the absence of wind. I know the necessity of not going against the tide, but wind power is a loser even in Idaho!

ScoreKeeper's Book Report Confronts Rejection - TORN MUSIC: REJECTED FILM SCORES!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here making my way to the front of the class in preparation for my latest book report presentation. Film music is not exactly a hot topic for book publishers so fans, enthusiasts and scholars don't often have the luxury of choosing between a host of varying titles in which to indulge. The publications we are fortunate enough to obtain can be fascinating treasures shedding light on the craft and industry of film music in unique ways.
One particular industry-related topic which often gets swept under the rug or buried deep in the bottom of inconvenient closets is the rejected film score. A rejected score is a score which has been composed for a film only to have the entire work "thrown away" by the filmmakers and a new composer hired to compose a replacement from scratch. How often does this happen? Perhaps more than you realize.
The rejected score is not a topic that composers who have experienced it like to talk about. Aside from picking at the scabs of heartbreak, there are often legal entanglements which lawfully oblige a composer to keep mum on the details of the situation in question. Many of these torrid tales are left to conjecture churned out by gossiping rumor mills of film music fandom; however, the rejected score is a fascinating topic. Not only do they lend themselves to juicy "soap-opera-esque" stories of betrayal but they also provide a fascinating "what-if" scenario that cinema aficionados can't help but ponder.
What if Stanley Kubrick had used Alex North's rejected score for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)? What if Alfred Hitchcock had never stained his relationship with Bernard Herrmann by throwing his score for TORN CURTAIN (1966) into the trash? What if Gabriel Yared's year long effort composing the music for TROY (2004) wasn't tossed out and replaced by James Horner in a mere two weeks?
TORN MUSIC: REJECTED FILM SCORES, A SELECTED HISTORY by Gergely Hubai has accepted the Herculean task of chronicling a selected history of more than three hundred individual films whose original scores were rejected and replaced by another composer. Having done his due diligence, Hubai's well-scripted words have turned rumors, urban legends and industry myths into historical fact by relying upon the testimony of the folks involved in the rejection in question.
Did you know that Patrick Moraz (keyboardist of the band Yes) originally composed a score for PREDATOR (1987) before Alan Silvestri was hired to replace it? Did you know that David Arnold wrote about five minutes of music for CUTTHROAT ISLAND (1995) before being fired and replaced by John Debney? Do you think you know the whole story behind Howard Shore's replacement on KING KONG (2005) by James Newton Howard?
This book confronts and answers these questions and hundreds more just like it.
TORN MUSIC has no rival. It is as unique to this industry as it is fascinating. Hubai delicately and diplomatically lifts the rug of Hollywood and examines nearly a century's worth of dust-ridden scores swept there in hopes they would be forgotten. While a handful of these discarded scores have throughout the years been released to the public on various labels, the overwhelming majority of these titles remain unheard and neglected.
Let's face it. Not every rejected score deserved its ultimate demise but perhaps a few of them did. While many will forever remain unheard by public ears, Hubai has at least brought a very unique spotlight to a host of these titles and composers who continued their careers bearing the heartache of having one of their "babies" rejected.
This book was published by Silman-James Press and is slated for publication in May 2012. I highly recommend it to every casual or ardent film music connoisseur who has ever pondered the classic "what if" questions that rejected scores inspire.

Jerry Goldsmith's originally score for Timeline was one of the few to get a release
by ahdvd
He was replaced by Brian Tyler after the movie went through heavy re-edits and no longer fit the music he had composed, it got a proper release on CD after his death, sadly more as a cash in, but it was nice to hear his work, and for it not to just be lost.

Some of Bernard Herrmann's rejected Torn Curtain score made its way into the 1991 Cape Fear remake
by Nasty In The Pasty
Elmer Bernstein adapted and conduced Herrmann's score from the 1962 original for the remake, but since the concluding action sequence on the runaway boat ran so long, he just plain ran out of music to adapt, so he stuck some of the Torn Curtain music in to fill in the gaps. Anyways, rejected scores tend to fascinate me...why waste a couple of million dollars recording an entire score, only to toss it away because of some idiots in a test screening? Why not just tweak the score? Varese Sarabande released a great boxed set of three unused Bernstein scores a few years back...The Journey Of Natty Gann (replaced by James Horner), The Scarlett Letter (replaced by John Barry) and Gangs Of New York (replaced by Marton Scosese's record collection). The last rejection stings the most, as GONY was one of Bernstein's very last scores, and the patchwork quilt replacement music was all over the map. I'd love to see the movie re-edited (wasn't there a much-longer cut at one point?) with Bernstein's music restored.

Questions and stuff
by ScoreKeeper
Yes, THE EXORCIST is covered in pretty good detail. More so than I had ever heard. An included CD would of course be awesome but I'm hoping a book like this not only generates public interest for these scores but perhaps may loosen up the chains that keep them all in purgatory. Who knows? There have been a decent chunk of rejected scores released. If 2001 was released, ANYTHING is possible. I don't know about an e-book release. It didn't mention it in the materials I received. You could hit up the publisher with an email. I'm sure they'd answer your question. http://www.silmanjamespress.com/shop/pc/contact.asp And if you would like to check out sample pages click here... http://www.silmanjamespress.com/shop/flippages/TORMUS/TORMUS.html

Right on Goldsmith, raptor_jesus
by The Bear
I know I've got Goldsmith's score for "Legend" somewhere in my mess of a house, and I bought it here in the States. Great score. How in the world any director, anywhere, could decide to replace it with...Tangerine Dream! Then again, I guess Tangerine Dream was the "hot" new music scorer back in the dreadful '80s...

How about Morricone's rejected score for 'What Dreams May Come'?

The Goldsmith score for Legend is playable on the Ultimate Edition release
by Jaka
I know this because I GREATLY prefer it to the Tangerine Dream score. I've never been a fan of Tangerine Dream's new age synth stylings. They sounded outdated at the time of their release and they just sound cheesy now.
 I know some people will disagree. No attacking necessary - it's just my opinion.

Unused Goldsmith
by dpc01
Goldsmith had 6 scores go unused. (Actually, 6 and a half since much of Alien was cut). Legend, Alien Nation, Gladiator (the 1991 boxing movie), The Public Eye, 2 Days in the Valley, and Timeline. The usual reason was a studio's panicked reaction to the realization that a film might be a potential bomb. The score is the easiest thing to alter after the fact. Or re-editing, which can cause an accepted score to no longer fit. In the case of Goldsmith's rejects, the films all pretty much bombed anyway, so the wisdom of cutting a Jerry Goldsmith score, probably one of the only aspects of the films to be working, seems pretty flimsy in retrospect. Legend, Alien Nation and Timeline received CD releases, Gladiator and 2 Days in the Valley have leaked out on bootlegs, and only The Public Eye is completely buried to date, although a snippet of the score appeared in the initial trailers.

Interview with the vampire

I'd like to hear Howard Shore's rejected score for KING KONG...
by Mr. Pricklepants
To find out what made Peter Jackson decide to reject it and get someone else (James Newton Howard) to score it instead. Although, I don't know how much of the film Howard Shore got to score before he was replaced. Anyway, he's scoring THE HOBBIT (not like there was another option) so I guess he and Peter Jackson have put it behind them.

Possibly unreleased Drive (2011) score
by HansBubi
I'm still not sure if this is a rumor that some websites have possibly mistakenly declared to be factual, yet the album "Themes for an Imaginary Film" by Symmetry is supposedly the original score for Drive. Symmetry is on the same label as The Chromatics, who made the song "Tick of the Clock" which is actually on the soundtrack for the movie (great band by the way). The Symmetry album begins with the revving of a car engine, and then contains about 2 hours(!) worth of music. It's not an album for people that like traditional scores and need the music to be attention-grabbing from start to finish.

Why do (most) reviewers not include
by LowDevil
Their thoughts on the films score? I ALWAYS pay attention to the music while i am watching. Its the glue to all films. What did you think of the what we have heard so far from Prometheus? I think we have another masterpiece on our hands. I have heard rumors of the Avengers original cut of over 3 hours?? Does anyone know if this is truth? If it is true the DVD can not come soon enough.

by Cholerajones
Jerry Goldsmith also composed cues for POLRTGEIST III, and they were rejected for the Joe Renzetti score. I have some of the tracks and they're pretty in line with the first two pictures. Goldsmith's theme for the Nursing Home story in THE TWILIGHT ZONE movie was originially Norman's Theme from Psycho 2, until Richard Franklin cut it in favor of something more ominous.
May 5, 2012, 3:11 p.m. CST

Goldsmith' score for Legend *was* used,on the international cut of the film, which is available on the "Ultimate Edition" DVD/BR. The international version is also half an hour or so longer than the US theatrical version, and is a far superior cut of the film.

"Relayer" (the album that Yes made with Patrick Moraz) is their best album, IMO, in part thanks due to Moraz. Moraz also wrote large parts of "Awaken" (off their next album) including the opening section, yet didn't receive any credit for it. Aaaanyway....

"Themes for an Imaginary Film"
by ihatetalkbacks
was started well before the film was made. While on the Tangerine Dream sound a likes I cannot beleive how many films they scored. I may get a little heat for this but it hampers Man Hunter. I did like the Wang Chung To Live and Die in LA which is similar but sticks out like a sore thumb. Has all the Alien original music been released?
May 5, 2012, 5:30 p.m. CST
For me, it started with Gabriel Yared's rejected "Troy" score.
by 5_day_forecast
Way more delicate and... Biblical. Elegance might not have been what the producer's hoped for, however. Still - fantastic score. Should have been used. Won't hate on James Horner for his overnight redo, however. Repetitious as he's become these days, you've gotta be a damn professional to score a movie in less than a month and still have something that "really tied the room together".

My fave rejected film score story is how Phillip Lambro's score
by Brian Hopper
for Chinatown was rejected, and Jerry Goldsmith came up with a replacement score in less than three weeks. Lambro's score is serviceable (at least the bits I've heard, like in the original Chinatown trailer with Robert Evans' voiceover). But it's so weird trying to imagine Chinatown without Goldsmith's masterpiece of a score backing it. It takes the already great film to another level entirely.
May 5, 2012, 7:31 p.m. CST
I should add the legend is Goldsmith did Chinatown in 10 days,
by Brian Hopper
although I've read elsewhere there were additional cues done over a period of about three total weeks. Anyway, the end result of that pressure-cooker situation was a work of film scoring genius, with cues like 'Love Theme from Chinatown' which is among the greatest two minutes in all of film music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6b9kfI1Tw
May 5, 2012, 9:17 p.m. CST
Sounds like a must-buy.
by Darkman
There have been some fascinating rejected scores released by the specialty labels over the years. Chief among them is Tom Scott's hugely enjoyable work on NEIGHBORS. You'd be hard-pressed to guess that it was written for a comedy.

 Another I'm partial to (and I may well be the only one) is Jerry Goldsmith's ALIEN NATION. An all-electronic effort, but it's so maddeningly catchy. The love theme (the second score it appeared in, following its debut in Goldsmith's rejected WALL STREET score) would later be used in THE RUSSIA HOUSE.

 A rejected score I'd love to hear in its entirety is Maurice Jarre's THE RIVER WILD. There's a suite of it on YouTube and it is amazing.
May 5, 2012, 9:48 p.m. CST
there's another aspect to this...
by Detached
... and that is that the composer who does the final score often comes up with - and records- music for key scenes that for whatever reason doesn't work or is rejected. or a good piece of music doesn't make the film because the scene is cut. i would guess (and it's just a guess) that some decent music has fallen by the wayside for just these reasons...

So am I the only one that prefers Tangerine Dream's LEGEND?
by The_Genteel_Gentile
There's no debating that Jerry Goldsmith is the vastly superior composer, but his LEGEND score is very much rooted in classical tradition and I think that aural history psychologically confines and limits LEGEND to our world and past. Whereas Tangerine Dream's music truely feels otherwordly, ethreal and oneiric. It occupies an entirely different emotion space and transports me to an entirely different sensorial experience. I really wish I could watch the director's cut of LEGEND with Tangerine Dream's more simple yet evocative score, because Goldsmith's just has an entirely different and, for me, less immersive feeling. Goldsmith's music is, as always, very good though. TD's just feels more perfect for this particular film to me.

John Barry's rejected "Prince Of Tides" score has got to take the cake!
by The_Genteel_Gentile
Barry later released the music as "Moviola" for a classical solo album and it is just about as majestic as music can be! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lek7tqvV7s Of course James Newton Howard's music to replace Barry's was pretty darned good also! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJVEPxGN8jY

Graeme Revell's rejected score for THE THIRTEENTH WARRIOR is pretty great!
by The_Genteel_Gentile
Jerry Goldsmith's final score is better, but of course that's just a given. Goldsmith and Viking Adventure simply trip off the tongue like Fred Astair. I can still vaguely remember being enthralled sitting in the theater and seeing the first cryptic anouncement teaser for "Eaters Of The Dead", a dark new epic adventure from the director of "Predator" and Die Hard"! - And then years past. When the film finally did see the light of day it had a new title, "The 13th Warrior", and the composer originally cited on that announcement teaser's credit screen was curiously absent and replaced by the legendary Jerry Goldsmith! Novelist, Executive-Producer (and decent director in his own right) Michael Crichton infamously took control of the edit in post-production away from director John McTiernan, streamlining the story and reshooting the climactic confrontation scene in the underground liar with a younger, more agile and supposedly more imposing matriarchal villainess. I've always thought this a shame because although Crichton is a reasonably proficient filmmaker, he is certainly no John McTiernan (damn "Rollerball")! I feel you can tell within the finished film a certain lack. That some backstory and subplots have been clipped short, marginalized, or altogether striken that would have likelt provided a richer and more epic scopemto the film on the whole. A discerning eye can distiguish Crichton's more pedestrian reshot footage from Mctiernan's trademark virtuoso shooting style. While it was Crichton's decision to smartly change the name away from the confusing title of his novel, the one thing inarguably improved by his seizure was in bringing on frequent collaborator Jerry Goldsmith ("Westworld", "Coma", "The Great Train Robbery", "Runaway"). Graeme Revell's rejected music would eventually surface some years later and indeed prove to some marvelous work. Ahead of its time actually, in utilizing loads of ethnic vocals and instrumentations years before Hans Zimmer's "Gladiator" would make that type of sound all the rage. But as much as I'd love to see McTiernan's original intentions in a Director's Cut, and as much admiration as I do have for Graeme Revell's rejected music - I can not fathom disassociating "The 13 Warrior" from Jerry Goldsmith's rapturous and indelible themes. Truely a book or documentary detailing the tumultuous making of "The 13th Warrior" could prove most fascinating and invaluable. It's just a shame Crichton is no longer around to participate and explain himself. Whatever evils Crichton's intrusive interventions may have wrought, the masterstroke of bringing in Jerry Goldsmith is certainly not among them and in fact is so overwhelmingly choice as to almost negate and forgive whatever else may have transpired. Almost.

Re: raptor_jesus
by ArmageddonProductions
Oddly enough, when Goldsmith's unused LEGEND score got released here in the States on CD back in '94, I snapped it up and hated it in comparison to the Tangerine Dream score. I even wound up just giving the CD away to a friend. HOWEVER, when I finally saw Scott's director's cut of LEGEND after it was released on a two-DVD set a few years ago, with Goldsmith's score, I did a complete 180. Goldsmith knew exactly what he was doing, and his score elevated the movie into something completely different. I can't even watch the U.S. version now.

I need to watch Scott's Director's Cut of LEGEND more, but on first watch...
by D.Vader
I prefer Tangerine Dream's score to Goldsmith's, which is a TOTAL shock. Maybe upon more viewings, I'll change my mind. But one thing is for sure, Tangerine Dream's track for the Dress Dance is MUCH better than Goldsmith's.

I am a fan of the Tangerine Dream Version
by TheJudger
Thats how I recall it when it originally aired on HBO back in the 80's. That is the imprint of the film for me- i kn ow when they change shit and most of the time I dont like it. I saw it replayed on one of the hbo showtime channels with goldsmiths score. I was rather confused and disapointed, no F'that! I was Angry that the music was different. Legends can be now and forever- Loved by the sun MF'ers!

@m6y Goldsmith/Chinatown
by SenatorJeffersonSmith
I just saw the movie at a theater here in Chicago yesterday, and I was blown away how good the score sounded. Can't believe he did it in three weeks (or ten days). That's remarkable. I've seen Chinatown a bunch of times at home, but it's never sounded so good.

How come no one is mentioning that the excellent Amityville Horror score was the rejected Exorcist score?

Gabriel Yared score for Troy was rejected due to ONE viewer on a test screening

Horner on Yared's music for TROY:
by The_Genteel_Gentile
"Atrocious, And it wasn't because Gabriel's not a gifted writer, it's because he just doesn't have any knowledge of writing film scores. REAL film scores like that. And it was like -- It was so corny. It was unbelievable." - Maybe Horner shouldn't have said it, but you know what? -- it's the truth. Preach! And the same can be said for anyone who doesn't implicitly agree with that statement (save for them even being a "gifted writer"). Sure Horner's rushed score may be utilizing all his usual tricks and cribbing a bit from David Arnold's "Stargate" score, but no one can argue that it doesn't work like gangbusters. Make no mistake, Horner knows his business and his business IS big commercial epic adventure music wrought with sentiment. Yared's music really is rather naive and hokey.

Re: d.vader/thejudger
by ArmageddonProductions
See, I thought exactly the same way you did (and thejudger, for virtually the same reason; the Tangerine Dream version was my first experience with LEGEND) ... but not only does Goldsmith's version actually elevate the movie, the director's cut itself is a vastly superior beast to the original U.S. version. For some reason, when comparing the two, even while Goldsmith's score has no memorable hooks, and might even be considered one of his lesser works, it really locks with the movie in a way the Tangerine Dream version doesn't. It also actually alters the entire film; while the Tangerine Dream score somehow makes it darker and edgier (which is what Universal was hoping for, at the time), Goldsmith's score keeps the movie in a more classic fairy tale mode. Bear in mind, that doesn't make the Tangerine Dream score bad (and I'm even a fan of the Brian Ferry and Jon Anderson songs), I just think the Goldsmith score winds up being more fitting. Some of that, too, is the version of the movie it's serving.

The rumor on Howard Shore and King Kong
by hulkiest
From what I heard, Mr. Shore, with a big head after winning the Oscar while at the same time, procrastinating like crazy, didn't write much music for King Kong and Peter Jackson didn't like the themes he had written to begin with, so he was fired from the project. Meanwhile, maybe the high fast one to the head was just what Mr. Shore needed because his music to the Hobbit already sounds tremendous.

@senatorjeffersonsmith Yeah, it's interesting how
by Brian Hopper
hearing a score in the theater heightens the appreciation of it. Goldsmith's Chinatown score has moments that really resonate in a theater. A lot of the great cues in the score are at transition points in the story and really jump out. A few that come to mind are the scene in front of the rest home when Jake beats the guy up and kicks the gun... Goldsmith's music kicks in at just the right moment and has a huge impact. And one of my favorite music cues in all of movies is the scene in Mulwray's backyard with Noah Cross... the second to last scene in the movie. The way Goldsmith's music builds as Cross says, 'It's not worth it, Mr. Gits. It's really not worth it.' [beat] 'Now where's the girl?' And then you get the cut to the neon signs in Chinatown with Goldsmith's incredible music behind it. Brilliant. I once saw Lawrence of Arabia at the Cinerama Dome, and realized I had never fully appreciated Jarre's score until then. The way his music fills up the theater, combined with the take-your-breath-away visuals, is truly awe-inspiring.

Torn Curtain score by Herrmann and Addison
by Samuel Fulmer
The Herrmann one is superior, but I agree with Hitch that the farm murder scene didn't need scoring. Addison's score is okay, but a little too light. Herrmann's score helped add an emotional dimension that was lacking from Newman and Andrews' acting and most of Hitch's direction.

What about John Ottman's Halloween H20
by Samuel Fulmer
Preaty much most of his music was replaced with Marco Beltrami cues (some from Scream 2 and Mimic)? I think he had a whole score rejected for Cruel Intentions as well.

One of my favorite ironies in film scoring was Horner's Aliens and Michael Kamen's Die Hard scores. Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd didn't like his cue used for when the Queen was sucked out into space, so they chose to reuse his cue Bishop's Countdown, which has since gone down in history as one of the greatest cues ever. Fast forward two years later, and the producers behind Die Hard didn't like what Kamen had composed for the final scene when Karl returns one last time to kill McClane before Powell shoots him. They chose to dump Kamen's cue for that scene and used Horner's original composition that was dumped in Aliens' climactic scene.
