Hello everybody! It's May, the weather is lovely, exams are looming on the horizon and it's time for yet another edition of the TDP newsletter! And boy do I have news for you!
For one thing, the second Miss TDP Pageant will almost definitely with nearly 99% certainty begin Soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out the official Handdrawn and Dollmaker contest threads for some fun challenges! Alternatively, you could start your own contest in the Doll Creation forum. Just be sure to read the guidelines first!
And... okay, I lied, I don't actually have much in the way of news. However, I do have some birthday gifts, monthly awards, and horoscopes (admit it, that's what you were all waiting for)! Well, actually last month's horoscopes, but hey, they might still be accurate! After all, who truly knows the mysteries of the stars?
Doll of the Month
Untitled by MFrana - MFrana takes the price yet again with her baseless doll. With its elongated, stylized figure, the amazing detail on the clothing, and an excellent contrast of light and shadow, this doll reminds me of an old painting. Congratulations!
Want to comment? Her doll thread is here.
Libra by spirit_queen - spirit_queen was aiming for a sort of trading card look with this doll, and in my opinion succeeded admirably. It's the little details like the rays of light reflecting off the card and the semi-transparent shadow behind it that really make it work. Congratulations!

Art of the Month
Untitled by noirmali - noirmali has created a lot of great pieces in the last few months, but this one caught my eye with its interesting sketchy style. Although the sketchiness can give the impression that this portrait was drawn in a hurry, it is evident that a lot of effort was put into it - from the excellent lighting, the detailing on the hair and face, and the incredibly expressive eyes. A striking and beautiful picture. Congratulations!

Happy birthday to softballdoll, LILreBeL08, PalmettoMoonCEH, trouble38 and naruto_fan!
Happy birthday to virus, ArmyBrat1995, Cheer_chick2007, Sweet_Venom, BRUINS_CELTICS_GAL and Miggrator!
Down with the character limit!
Horoscopes by Miranda!
This Saturday, you will meet a tall dark strangler in the darkness behind your local pub. You will escape by the skin of your teeth, but never mind, you look good in polo necks in any case. You decide to introduce your coworkers to the two sock puppets you keep in your desk and explain that they should get some of the credit for your efforts as they are involved in most key decisions. By the way, that's a really, really bad idea. The bad smell in your house is caused by rotten apples behind your radiator. Tip: Avoid low flying geese and don't forget to sharpen all your pencils.
All those people at the park wearing shades and earbuds are actually CIA agents watching you. Try not to act suspicious if you can possibly help it. This month, you will step in dog poo every single Wednesday, at seven pm. Your skills as a convincing and interesting speaker could be called upon this week as your mate will need an alibi for an attempted murder. She's probably guilty, but beware; drop her in it, and she could well reveal that embarrassing secret that you have striven to keep out of the papers for years.
You haven't an enemy in the world, but all your friends hate you. Watch out for killer turtles in shallow puddles. They are not a metaphor for your backstabbing friends, but they will bite your toes off. You will have an argument with a member of your family in two week's time. Don't do something stupid like the last time; try to control your temper, and perhaps things will turn out better than you expect them to. On the other hand, you might just end up lying on the floor with a cat sitting on your face and the family dog chewing your feet. Life is full of surprises. Pro-tip: Beware of peanuts.
Your ignorance covers the world like a well made blanket; there's not a hole in it to be found. If you were any slower, you'd be going backwards. Due to a witty and extremely cruel insult bestowed upon you by a bystander, you become depressed and go on an all night cooking rampage. Your lack of ability to hear what people around you are saying will cause your uncle to commit you to an insane asylum. You will never amount to anything and it's hopeless even trying. Advice: Consider becoming a pagan.
You are the logical type and hate disorder. This nit-picking is sickening to your friends, who like to get their own back by spreading rumours about you. You are two faced and have a huge double chin. The reason why you have a unique personality is because it's split. You are not very nice; however, if someone told you this to your face, you would be hurt and upset. While taking a shower tomorrow, all of your clothes and window blinds will be mysteriously stolen and your towels tied to the nearest tree.
Stop over-analysing everything and planning every single little thing you do to the last detail. For once, I want you to ditch your carefully worked out plans and do something rash and very spur of the moment so as to not be as boring as you normally are. You have the alcohol capacity of Oliver Reed and the empathy of a Great White. Your face may be pretty but your personality is very ugly indeed. You are arrogant and would spend the whole of every day looking in the mirror if you only could. Tip: Avoid eating anything blue.
Life is full of ups and downs and the only thing you can do is hold on tight and scream for help. People laugh at you a great deal. Since you didn't have a lot of brains to begin with, you must take action immediately by standing on your head until a doctor can figure out what the problem is. All colours are unlucky for you today, so it is advised that you walk around with your eyes closed at all times. The only reason you're alive is because it is illegal to shoot people. Pro-tip: Mind the donkey!
You become consumed with the categorical imperative to eat the brains of the innocent, which oddly enough is a moral action that can be universalized. You're as good as your word, but your word is no good. Most people take one look at you and then have to struggle with the overwhelming impulse to pour lighter fluid over you and set you on fire for the good of mankind. The only reason you're still around today is cuz you have the ability to run fast. Paranoia has often gotten the better of you, in the past, but the past is exactly what it says it is: In the past.
Your breath stinks. Everything you eat or drink today will be impregnated with tiny lead particles. Your strange attraction to Pokémon will fail to score you a mate. Convert all of your money to cash and offer it to the gods by burning it in a giant bonfire in the center of the city park. The good news is... wait, there isn't any good news. Your life is in ruins. You're feeling stressed out; that's a given. You lack confidence and are generally a coward; you are also a communist. Beware of the headless horseman.
You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are pushy. When you were in line to be given a brain, you thought you were waiting for a drain, and said that you weren't interested. You're like a cork*****; twisted, cold, and sharp. A lot of Scorpios end up committing murder. They always get caught, due to the pathetic lack of intellect that Scorpios all have in common. You figure that you can put off washing your clothes for one more week. You will attempt to save money by burning junk mail to keep warm, instead of turning on your central heating.
You have a horse's ar'se. You have a reckless tendency to rely on luck, since you lack talent. We know you will not heed this warning, so after you have used the toothpaste, go immediately to your nearest emergency room and explain what has happened. Do you know just how irritating you are to others? What you don't know can't hurt you. That's why you've never been hurt. Warning: You must avoid talking to anyone named Jane for the next twenty five days. Otherwise, the worst thing that you have ever wished on a friend will happen to you.
Sometime around 6:00pm your face will start to itch. Do NOT scratch. Go immediately to your doctor, who will diagnose you with a rare disorder called scratchalis. You discover that no one really likes you A LOT and it's only just so-so. Bread will bring you good luck. You may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. You really are an idiot. People find you as interesting as watching a dog walking on two legs. It's not done well but they are surprised to see it done at all. Advice: Best thing you can do this month is keep your head down and play dead.
Oh dear, Elanorea, you've managed to surprise me again!
This must have taken so long to put together, teehee. >o<"~ And you did such a good job with it! : D
I love the dolls >O<~ And thank you for putting my art on here O__O""
Haha, the horoscopes are interesting. xD "All colours are unlucky for you today"

Pole Series 3 Complete is now on sale. Please discuss.
Does the series 3 wire system have its own legs, or is a tripod required?
If a 3rd party tripod is required, does the complete system come with the tripod fittings?
Are series 3 levels available?
Does the existing pole rotator handle the weight?
Has anybody used it yet? If so, what are your impressions?

Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Wii Remote for $9.69
Shipping - $4.69
Fully functional Wii Wireless Remote Controller
It's a Wii Remote and it's shaped like the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver and it has good reviews - what's there to not like about this?
3 Comments add a comment
Damn no Wii MotionPlus inside. You still need that adapter for those games then. Also, it's $11.90 + $4.69 shipping. My guess is one or more has sold since the original post.
@halogx: Yes, I bought one when I found it. I will ask to get the price changed. Thanks.
Wedit. It's expired when the price changes. You can re-post as a new deal with the new price. Thanks!
Wow... even if it works like crap, worth if for the nerd value alone.

I was wondering if there is anybody here who actually uses the 5D Mark2 with the 24-105 setup here.
I use the NN4 with the RD16 but I'm sort of contemplating on the panning angle.
With the 16-35 lens, I can shoot every 60 degrees with a vertical angle of 30 degrees up and down. I then shoot a nadir and zenith (both 90 degrees up and down).
Although I'm not sure if this is the way to shoot VR photography, it works and it saves time.
Just in case something happens to my wide lens, as backup, I think the 24-105 can deal well with VR photography. Although I think that 36 degrees works, I would like to know if anyone has a better workflow.
Thanks for reading.

Postal workers accidentally pepper sprayed
Employees rushed to hospital
POSTED: 3:17 PM Dec 24 2013 UPDATED: 2:59 AM Nov 07 2013
A letter carrier's pepper spray typically used to fend off aggressive dogs accidentally went off inside a post office, sending three employees to the hospital to have their eyes flushed.
Workers in the Portland, Ore., post office first noticed that there was something wrong with the air quality and fled the facility. 911 was called and firefighters reported to the scene to deal with the chemical contamination, according to The Associated Press..
The spray used by mail carriers is a heavy-duty version of pepper spray known as bear spray. It is unknown how the spray was discharged inside the post office.

A perfect day at Milnerton Golf Club – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph of Table Mountain from Milnerton Golf Club was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Craig Pitchers.
Says Craig Pitchers: "I played some golf at Milnerton Golf Club in Cape Town – a links-type course. We were blessed with one of the best winter's days ever. The sea was calm, there was no wind and the temperature was hovering at about 24 degrees. The day was so perfect that I thought I would capture the moment from the second green…"
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

I've just been hired as a member of a group that is developing in C++. For the last 11 years, I'd been coding on and off at my last job (some C, some Fortran, some C++).
The coding I'd done was mostly maintaining and adding new features to one of our systems. The code, being 10 years old, did not contain all the modern C++ stuff. Lo and behold, my new job is filled with programmers with 5-10 years experience of pure coding and they all use the most modern aspects of C++ (C++11, template, lambda, etc, etc).
They are expecting someone with that same experience... which I have: I've been working for 15 years total, but when I look at their code, I can't understand half of it! :-|
Anyone been in that situation? What would you recommend?

I'm aware to varying extents of the existence of certain decompositions of the space of $k$-forms on a compact complex or compact Riemannian manifold that split into closed, co-closed, and harmonic forms, and that the space of harmonic forms becomes isomorphic to the de Rham cohomology groups. However, these are defined differently, but there seems to be analogy here in the theorems and to some extent in the proofs; this is also suggested by the common name. Is there one? Or is there a more general way to encapsulate all this?
For any Riemannian (in particular, for any Hermitean) manifold there is the decomposition: all forms are the direct sum of the harmonic ones, exact ones and those in the image of the conjugate operator of the de Rham differential. Every de Rham cohomology class is represented by a unique $d$-harmonic form.
For any complex (Hermitean) manifold there is a similar theory for the $\bar\partial$ operator, and we get a similar decomposition for each complex $({\cal E}^{p,\bullet},\bar\partial)$ where ${\cal E}^{p,q}$ stands for complex valued smooth $(p,q)$-forms. See e.g. Chern, Complex manifolds. Every Dolbeault cohomology class is represented by a unique $\bar\partial$-harmonic form.
For general complex hermitean manifolds the above decompositions have nothing to do with one another. However, if the metric is Kaehler, some miracles happen:
As a consequence of the above, the Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence degenerates in the first term. This implies that the $dd^c$-lemma holds for Kaehler manifolds, and hence, they are formal. See Deligne, Griffiths, Morgan, Sullivan, Real homotopy theory of Kaehler manifolds.
The cohomological Hodge decomposition holds also for arbitrary bimeromorphically Kaehler compact complex manifolds (in particular, for smooth, complete but not necessarily projective complex algebraic varieties). See e.g. Peters, Steenbrink, Mixed Hodge structures, p. 49.
Hodge theory for Riemannian (real) and Hermitian (complex) compact manifolds are indeed completely analogous. The key tool in both cases is the fundamental theorem for elliptic operators as stated in Voisin's Hodge theory and complex algebraic geometry applied to the respective laplacian. The linked reference builds in parallel the Riemannian and the Hermitian Hodge theory.
Although the theories can be developed in parallel, I don't think there are strong relations between the Riemannian and Hermitian laplacians in general. But in compact Kahler manifolds the three distinct Laplacians satisfy the identities $$ \Delta = 2 \Delta_{\partial} = 2\Delta_{\overline \partial} , $$ which imply the Hodge decomposition $$ H^k(X,\mathbb C) = \bigoplus_{p+q=k} H^{p,q}(X) . $$ See Theorem 6.1 in the reference cited above.

How can this be?
Also. I've struggled to understand this whole access-token, client-id, app-id-business for ages now - is there a good tutorial where all this stuff is explained? I've never had this work without problems ever.
Thank you

If you are married to a girl and mashaich comes, wil you be married to her in the world to come or you start all over?!?

According to the Rambam (Laws of Kings 12:1), the natural world we know will continue to exist in Moshiach's times. So yes, marriages existing now will still be in effect when Moshiach comes.
Even according to the opinions that it will be an era of miracles and of a new natural order (Ramban), we'll still be physical creatures with bodies.
Rambam also makes a distinction between "the world to come" and "the times of Moshiach". "The world to come" (shamayim/olam-haba) refers to a spiritual world separate from our physical world. Our neshama goes to "the world to come" after we die and waits there until the times of messiah and resurrection (& I think if you die after the resurrection, you go back there).
When you get married, your neshama is bound to your wife's and you are like one person. So there is a permanent connection made in the spiritual realm as well as in the physical world, so the bonds of marriage also still hold in messianic-times/post-resurrection/the-world-to-come.
A divorcee who remarries will remain married to her second husband upon Resurrection. There is a difference of opinion as to the status of a widow who remarries.


text: Remember that movie Lady and the Tramp? Well, there was a dog breed in that film that I thought was really cute and was the Scottish Terrier. This lesson will show you "how to draw a Scottie", or Scottish terrier step by step. This stubby looking dog is an awesome and incredibly cute breed. I love their long snouts and the small stubby bodies. They have an amazing sense of bravery as they are a stand up breed. Drawing a Scottie is going to be fun, and easy. I don't think I ever made a drawing tutorial on this dog breed before so this is a first for us both. Have fun people and please let me know what you think.

I'm not even sure if I asked that right. Anytime someone mentions changing the root password, they mention changing
/etc/passwd, or just using the
passwd command, but I've never heard of having to change it in an authorized_keys file as well. Where might I find that, and how can I safely delete an entry or change this for root without causing havoc? Thanks!
If I change the root password on a linux server, can someone still access root if they created an SSH authorized_key for root user?
I'm not even sure if I asked that right. Anytime someone mentions changing the root password, they mention changing
Yes. You'll need to delete the user's public SSH key to completely remove access. If you're simply trying to remove one user's access to root it's a little tricky. Hopefully you've been using separate private keys, because otherwise you'll have to recreate the file and redistribute the public keys to the authorized users.
To remove the entry, you need to edit the
Yes; it's considered bad practice to allow people to ssh in as "root" for just this reason. Your boxes should probably have root's ssh disabled, and use something like "sudo" to provide access controls over who can do what as root, that way you won't need to give out the root password or anything equivalent.
Leavers' accounts can simply be disabled and you can guarantee that they can't get back in (unless of course, they've left some back doors, which is something you can't do anything about anyway).
We use an ldap directory to store users, groups and ssh keys, then restrict "sudo" access by group.
If someone has had root, it's very difficult, perhaps impossible, to be sure they can't get it back, unless you reinstall and restore from a backup taken before they had access. Things to watch out for: firstly an old trick: any extra users in
That extra user would have a separate password and be effectively root as soon as they logged in.
You should check
You should check for any extra processes running as root, that might offer up a root shell to a particular remote or local user; that process' executable need not exist on disk anymore, or need not be what it was when the process was started.
Finally, if you still don't think it's impossible: search any mount points whose mount options don't contain
A rootkit might have done any combination of the above, and might have patched the kernel (perhaps in memory too, without a reboot) to impede your ability to detect it (removing things from ps/netstat etc.)
Good luck. :-)
If you use SSH keys, you might want to consider disabling a password altogether.
SSH is close to unhackable without passwords, but these two are like an "or" so if you can hack either, you're hacked.
You can disable root logins via ssh by setting
It is worth thinking very very hard about using ssh's authorized keys for root.
Let's say that I can be root on system ZZ and I add my public key to root's authorized_key. Now, my private key is much more valueable because now it not only lets someone break into possibly all of my accounts, but, it allows root on ZZ as well. Plus, of course, any system that lets root on ZZ also be root on themselves.
Note that if I put my private key on a system that others can be root on, those users can also get root on ZZ since they can trivially get my private key.
It's a very dangerous relaxing of security. People tend to be a bit too free about where they put their private key since it make ssh so much easier.
I concur with no root ssh along with sudo, but, if you do that, you might want to add special users which have no NIS/LDAP/NFS/etc network dependency so that you can still log in when there is a network fubar. Normally root can log in when others can't since root tends to have less of these external requirements.

Can one define some measure of progress towards a proof of a statement? I'm not sure if it's even possible for general first order logic statements so let's restrict ourselves to propositional statements. Assume for simplicity that we know if the statement in question is true or false beforehand.
Then if one is using the DPLL system for proving a propositional statement false (or true after taking the negation of the statement and trying to prove the unsatisfiability of that), then one can easily define a measure of progress towards the proof - if the statement has $n$ variables and we encounter failure after branching on $k$ variables, then we have made $2^{-k}$ fraction progress towards a proof of unsatisfiability.
If one works with the resolution proof system, then I can't think of a polynomial-time computable measure. For an exponential-time measure, one could examine all clauses derived so far and calculate what fraction of the search space they prune.
For more general proof systems which allow introducing new variables however (like the Extended Frege system, for instance), I can't think of any measure. (Edit: except in a very limited sense in which we explore the space of all possible proofs and then decide whether a particular step counted as progress towards a proof of unsat)
So my question is whether there exist better measures of progress towards a proof of unsatisfiability (or tautology) of a propositional formula than the ones above.
A relevant link might be this which talks about defining a measure of progress in terms of computing a function in terms of proving lower bounds. If we take the function to output 0 if the input formula is unsat and 1 if it is not, then it could be relevant to the measure in question above.

Next time you're flipping through a magazine you may think of it a little differently. That's because more than one hundred of the nation's top magazines like Ebony, Oprah's "O" Magazine, Town and County and Jet are printed in South Central Kentucky at the R.R. Donnelley Plant at Glasgow.
The plant produces more than one point five million of the nation's top magazines a day. Production starts when the publisher sends the magazine layout to the company. It's then formatted to a printing plate. The template then rolls over magazine paper at 2,500 feet per minute. Images are created with thousands of little dots of black, blue, red, and yellow that are deposited on the pages.
As the printed page rolls out, it's folded in half, and then cut into sections. Those pages are then taken to the binding center where they are stacked. The glue is placed on the page's edge and a cover wraps around it binding them together. Finally the magazines are shipped off to various distribution centers and eventually they hit the newsstands all over the country, but not matter where you buy them there's a good chance they came from Glasgow.

Love is in the air! In honor of Valentine's Day, we wanted to give you a peek at some of the amazing couples here at Mad Dogg Athletics! We have some couples who met here, one that works here together and one that married into a family that works here!
Let's start with Jennie and Dan. This is from Jennie:
Jennie and Dan met in October 2009 at Mad Dogg Athletics. Jen had just started working in the marketing department and Dan worked in the web department. Jennie noticed Dan right away and thought he was soooo cute (and tall)! It was love at first sight! Since they didn't get a chance to talk much at work, Jennie knew she had to devise a plan so they could hang out, so she proposed a night out in Hollywood with a group of co-workers.
From that night on, Jennie and Dan were inseparable. Two and a half years later on July 7, 2012, Jennie and Dan were married. They both still work at Mad Dogg Athletics, only five feet away from each other.
How gorgeous is this wedding photo?! They are so cute together and Jennie sits right in front of Dan here at MDA!
Now onto Luvia and Fernando! This is from Luvia:
Fernando and I met over 12 years ago in High School and have been dating for over 6 years now. When we first started working at Mad Dogg Athletics we kept our relationship to ourselves, which as you can image was pretty difficult to do. Now, we will be celebrating our one year engagement anniversary tomorrow and are anxiously waiting for our wedding this coming September.
Luvia forgot to mention that Valentine's day is also her birthday! What a happy birthday it was and will continue to be!
Now onto Jackie, she has an interesting story. You'll see why.
I met Tony at his work's holiday party. The entire night he tried to get my attention. Almost 9 years later we are married and have two beautiful kids. It has been a pleasure working for Mad Dogg Athletics for close to 7 years. I view Mad Dogg as a big family, literally we are since I am one of the 5 Villasenor's that is employed here.
That's right there are 5 Villasenor's that work here!
We know that you all have amazing love stories, so please feel free to share them with us in the comment section!

This question came from our site for professional linguists and others with an interest in linguistic research and theory.
In linguistics we normally call lema the headword of a word (that is, the way we would find it in a dictionary: its form in singular/masculine/infinitive). All the inflections of a lemma (plurals, conjugated verbs, etc) are called formas.
So dog would be a lema, and its formas (word forms) would be dog and dogs.
Probably the easiest way to answer a question like this, is simply to read the Spanish version of the wiki page you linked in your question. Based on that, I believe the answer you seek is:

Millions of eyeballs will be on the Vice-Presidential debate tonight and whether those eyeballs are Democratic or Republican, they have one thing in common...hair.
That's right, there's nothing like a barbershop or beauty salon to really get people talking politics.
"I really think Biden will be aggressive." And being aggressive is just what might decide tonight's match-up.
"I do hope that he has a little more energy because Ryan...the guy's young but he's got a lot of energy about himself." But what Biden may lack in youth, he seems to make up for in debate experience.
"Having lived 69 years, he's gained a lot of knowledge...and of course Ryan appears very smart too, so it may be a draw." A great deal of the campaign has been about winning debates and coming up with the best negative ads but people in the Wiregrass are looking for something more.
"In fact voters in the Wiregrass are saying skip the negative campaign ads and instead focus on the issues."
"Jobs.. my son's been out of work for nearly two years and he hasn't been able to find employment so jobs are real important to me"
"We definitely need to have the kids in a predicament to where they can get a better education."
And no matter who wins tonight, Paula Durley says the best candidate will be the one who is clear and fair.
"They need to stay off the attack and have honest answers as to what they're going to do to get us out of the mess we're in." Which will make her feel good both inside and out no matter how her hair turns out today.
You can watch tonight's debate here on News 4 starting at 8p.m.

6 Insane Sequels That Almost Ruined Classic Movies
#3. Beetlejuice 2: Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian
Tim Burton's Beetlejuice was way ahead of its time, mainly because it had a message that still resonates with goths and emo kids everywhere: Death is far better than the torment of a comfortable upper-middle-class life. It also made like five times its budget, so it's no surprise that the studio was desperate to make a sequel and asked Tim Burton to pull something out of his ass as fast as possible.
And pull out of his ass he did. Apparently, Burton did not particularly feel like doing a sequel, so he offered the studio the worst sequel idea he could think of: Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. You can probably guess the entire plot from those three words, including the part with the surf contest won by Beetlejuice.
Also, he gets a Hawaiian shirt and a tan, at which point he becomes Nick Nolte's mugshot.
According to screenwriter Jonathan Gems, "Tim thought it would be funny to match the surfing backdrop of a beach movie with some sort of German expressionism, because they're totally wrong together." However, the studio ate it up: A script was commissioned, and both Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder signed up to do the film in 1990.
The script was practically a remake of the first movie, only in warmer weather. The Deetz family moves to a Hawaiian island and opens a resort that happens to be built on top of some ancient burial grounds. Winona Ryder's character, Lydia, goes to the afterlife to ask Beetlejuice to scare her own family off of the island. Beetlejuice takes the job, but also uses the afterlife version of Rophynol to make Lydia fall in love with him. The two hook up, and Lydia even agrees to get married to Beetlejuice.
A recurrent theme in the franchise, apparently.
In the grand finale, Beetlejuice turns into a giant monster ("Juicifer") when his plans have gone to shit and starts leveling the island with some help from reanimated dinosaur skeletons and monster Easter Island heads. Then, a no-longer hot for Beetlejuice Lydia uses her psychic powers to summon a tidal wave and ... levels the island herself, apparently. Including her parents' hotel. The end.
As shitty as it sounds, the movie would have probably been made anyway if Tim Burton hadn't gotten distracted by the Batman franchise. By 1996, the studio was still trying to get it made and even asked Kevin Smith to do a rewrite ... to which he wisely replied, "Didn't we say all we needed to say in the first Beetlejuice?"

#2. Casablanca 2: Brazzaville
Casablanca is one of those classic movies that everyone has heard of but that most of you probably haven't seen. It consistently makes critics' lists of the greatest films of all time, and has almost certainly become the most quotable ("Here's looking at you, kid" and so on).
And the infamous "Pass that blunt and let's knuckle-fuck a Nazi."
The movie takes place during World War II and stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick, an American nightclub owner in the Nazi-controlled city of Casablanca. He's the Han Solo character, the guy with the shady past and no particular allegiance to anyone but himself. But then his former lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) shows up with her husband and asks for his help getting them out of the country. So, he is to risk his own life so that the woman he loves can go off and live her life with some other dude.
But in the end, he does it, their plan only succeeding due to a change of heart by corrupt police captain Louis Renault. In the final scene, Rick watches the love off his life fly away, then he and Renault walk off and Bogart utters one of the many famous lines ("Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.") It's implied that they're going to join the French resistance and take on the Nazis.
"Have you ever fired a machine gun in each hand, Rick? It's pretty much the shit."
Casablanca's bittersweet finale isn't just a perfect movie ending -- it's the perfect movie ending. Pretty much every line of dialogue in that scene is now a classic movie quote. And yet as soon as the movie became a hit, Warner Bros. seriously considered doing a sequel that didn't just continue the story -- admittedly, the idea of Rick and Captain Renault kicking Nazi butt across Europe sounds kind of awesome -- but seemed specifically designed to undermine everything that was great about the original.
"Was that cannon fire or was it my hea- AAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!"
One of the things that made Rick interesting was that he was a cynical bastard who sacrifices his own happiness in the end for the greater good. Brazzaville would have started out by revealing that the gambling, the alcoholism and his shady past as an arms dealer were just a cover for the fact that he was a U.S. anti-Nazi spy all along. Same with Renault: He didn't have a change of heart in that final scene, he was secretly working for the good guys the whole time, too. A great deal of the first movie could have been avoided if they'd only told each other before.
Sam also was a spy, and so was his piano.
But at least they didn't mess with the classic Rick/Ilsa love story, right? Yup: Ilsa's husband Victor Laszlo dies pretty early in the movie, and so she spends the rest of the time chasing Rick as he attempts to infiltrate a German spy ring in Tangiers. This puts Rick in an awkward spot because part of his top secret mission involves sleeping with a sexy Spanish femme fatale working for the Nazis.
So, in a complete rehash of the love triangle from the first movie, Rick loves Ilsa but can't tell her because that would compromise the mission, and Ilsa loves Rick but decides to let him go for the greater good. However, Rick's sexy Spanish Nazi girlfriend ends up taking a bullet for him during the final confrontation with the German spies -- and with that, Rick and Ilsa are finally free to be together and are last seen on a boat heading for America, in a perfectly happy ending. It's the anti-Casablanca.
"Eh, we've probably done enough to help the cause by now, let's go home."
The most frightening part? Humphrey Bogart actually signed up to do the movie in 1943. Ingrid Bergman didn't, but was apparently deemed replaceable. Fortunately, the executives at Warner Bros. ended up deciding not to go ahead with the project, despite the fact that they probably could have made a shitload of money with it. Let's just hope they're not reading this article.
#1. Gladiator 2 (by Nick Cave)
How do you do a sequel for a movie where the main character died at the end? The answer is: You don't. Or, if you're Russell Crowe, the other answer is: You hire a rock star to write the most deranged gladiator movie ever conceived. It's important to note that we didn't make up any part of the story we're about to tell you: This is a real script that exists, and it was personally commissioned by Ridley Scott and Crowe. It's also the only entry in this list we actually want to see, because of how awesomely insane it is.
After doing Gladiator, Scott and Crowe were eager to do a sequel but had one little problem: As mentioned, the main character (Maximus) is unmistakably dead and buried by the end of the movie. Crowe thought there had to be a way around that pesky little detail and hired the legendary Nick Cave from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to come up with a "creative solution." The fact that the Gladiator 2 script was written by a famous rock star is the most normal thing about it.
Above: Either Nick Cave or the antichrist's drug dealer.
The story written by Cave opens with Maximus gladiatoring the shit out of some Roman gods in the afterlife until they agree to let him go back to the land of the living. The newly reincarnated Maximus then spends some time in Rome defending early Christians from persecution -- and somehow becoming immortal. During the next two hours, we watch Maximus kick ass throughout history, being present at every important war ever fought from the Crusades to Vietnam, like a more muscular Forrest Gump.
The end of the script reveals that Maximus ended up working at the Pentagon, which makes sense because it does sort of look like a gladiator arena. We like to imagine that even at the Pentagon he was still wearing that same miniskirt from the first movie, if only to justify the word "gladiator" in Gladiator 2.
Alright, so maybe he puts on a tie when going to a meeting.
Russell Crowe read this script ... and loved it. Seriously. Ridley Scott says they "tried to go with it," but the studio thought it was too over the top, for some reason. Eventually the two moved on to make Robin Hood, which might be more enjoyable if you pretend that Robin is actually an immortal Maximus in the 1100s.

Still Bitter Over Loss On Health Reform, GOP Seeks To Block Judicial Nominee For His Health Care Views
Since losing the health care reform fight, the GOP has vowed revenge by obstruction. Senate Republicans have been using a little-known rule this week to basically stop all committee and subcommittee hearings. They have also contrived a host of "poison pill" amendments to stall the passage of reconciliation. And Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) vowed that "there will be no cooperation for the rest of the year."
Now, Republicans have for "the first time…injected the partisan health care debate into the confirmation of a judicial pick," Roll Call notes. They are hoping to defeat Obama's nomination of University of California law Professor Goodwin Liu to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, aghast over his belief that all Americans have a right to health care:
Sen. Jeff Sessions: "'I have not seen any nominee's opinions go that far,' Judiciary ranking member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said in an interview, noting that Liu's legal writings indicate that equal protection under the 14th amendment includes health care coverage." [Roll Call]
Ed Whelan: "Perhaps most striking, in part because Liu presents his position as so modest, is his law-review article 'Rethinking Constitutional Welfare Rights,' which argues that judges (usually in an 'interstitial' role) may legitimately invent constitutional rights to a broad range of social 'welfare' goods, including education, shelter, subsistence, and health care." [National Review]
Ilya Shapiro and Evan Turgeon: "Liu's confirmation would compromise the judiciary's check on legislative overreaching and push the courts not only to ratify such constitutional abominations as the individual health insurance mandate but to establish socialized health care as a legal mandate itself." [Daily Caller]
Liu's right-wing critics are not telling the truth about his views. The article Ed Whelan cites, for example, does the opposite of call for judges to "invent constitutional rights to a broad range of social programs." Indeed, Liu expressly rejects the idea that judges can base their interpretation of the constitution on ideology or "transcendent moral principles," and he explicitly warns that the courts cannot create new welfare rights by themselves — instead, the legislature must always act first. In Liu's words, "it is only through democratic adoption of a program of mutual aid that that a welfare right plausibly comes into being for courts to recognize."
Nor is Liu's view that the Constitution protects certain people's access to social welfare programs particularly radical. In Saenz v. Roe, for example, the Supreme Court struck down a California law which denied some California residents a portion of their welfare benefits. Justice Scalia, one of the Court's most conservative members, was in the majority in Saenz.
Even right-wing torture apologist John Yoo — who is Liu's colleague at Berkeley — thinks Liu is "very well qualified." Liu also has the support of Kenneth Starr, who prosecuted President Clinton. Liu was expected to testify about his nomination today before the Senate Judiciary Committee, but Republicans have obstructed all such business in the Senate.

A port-wine stain is a mark that is usually present at birth. It is made of enlarged blood vessels. This makes it appear as a reddish-purple patch of skin.
Port-wine stains are caused by a problem with the small blood vessels in the skin. Blood vessels can normally open and close to meet the needs of the skin. In port-wine stains, the blood vessels stay open. Blood fills the vessels causing the purple color and raised skin. It is not clear what causes the problems with the blood vessels.
There are no known risk factors for port-wine stains.
Conditions associated with port-wine stains include:
Symptoms include a mark that may be:
A port-wine stain near the eyes may cause additional symptoms.
A port-wine stain can typically be diagnosed based on its appearance. In some rare cases, a skin biopsy may be done.

Port-wine stains are generally harmless. They may cause emotional and social problems due to their visibility.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Laser treatment may be used to destroy the blood vessels causing the stain. There are some risks with laser treatment. It may result in scarring and skin lightening or darkening.
Flash-lamp pumped pulse dye laser is one type used with port-wine stains. Multiple treatments may be necessary.
Other treatment options include freezing, surgery, tattooing, and radiation. These treatments have had limited success. Lasers have replaced most of these treatments.

Vintage Air Climate Control Install - Cool It Now! - TechWritten by on April 28, 2010 Installing A Vintage Air Climate Control System
One of the greatest inventions known to mankind is arguably air conditioning. Why do you think people in the Middle East are always fighting each other?! It's too dang hot, that's why! Spend an hour or so in bumper-to-bumper traffic in the dead of summer and you'll know how those people feel. But I digress. Maybe it's just regional politics. Anyways, that's an argument for another time and place. Right now, we're going to take a look at what makes installing a Vintage Air climate control system in your truck not only logical, but reasonably easy.
The system we'll be installing in the project F-1 is their Gen II Compac unit that features heating, cooling, and defrost capabilities in a compact package. As always, we're gonna add a CCT twist and make their kit fit our needs; after all, it wouldn't be Custom Classic Trucks if we did a straight install now would it?!
The first step is to locate where the evaporator (that's the black thing that goes up under the dash) is going to mount. We went with the Gen II Compac unit because it provides the most bang for your buck (re: cooling and heating capability) in a compact size. This will enable us to mount it nice and high behind the dash, keeping it out of sight for the most part. Since we're building the truck as a '50's-era custom, we want to play down some of the more contemporary items if we can, and this is one of those items. Plus, it leaves plenty of room for the passenger and keeps the inside of the firewall uncluttered. One of the drawbacks of mounting it as high as we did however, is that it ate up the space used by the glovebox, but that's one of the consolations we decided to make. We used a pair of floor jacks and some bits of an old hanger to hold the evaporator in place while the mounting brackets were fabricated. It was pretty straight forward and since every application will be slightly different, we'll skip that part. We will say that Vintage Air does provide a number of different brackets to get you started, which were very helpful.
Once the evaporator was in place, it was time to sort out the A/C vents. Once again, we didn't want the install to overbear the '50's vibe of the truck so we used Vintage Air's underdash vents mounted on a hide-away hinge that enables them to be tucked away, out of sight when not in use for the passenger and driver side vents. For the center outlet, we reconfigured the stock Ford heater box to direct the air up the center of the cab and out either side, controlled by the mechanical doors on the box. This enabled us to maintain the aesthetic while maximizing the A/C unit's efficiency of cooling and heating the cab evenly. One thing we did leave out are the defrost vents at the top of the dash. The Pontiac dash angles away from the rather vertical windshield at over 90-degrees which would make angling the vents towards the windshield fairly difficult. At this point, we opted to exclude the vents but we'll probably come back and install something at a later date.
Since we're still in the fabrication phase of the F-1 build, some of the install steps have been left out. While there are a few technical aspects we don't cover, like installing and crimping the hose ends (using a 134A crimping tool) and lubricating the O-rings, and installing the heater hoses, these are things that will be done once the truck is painted and in final assembly. At this point, the initial install is complete with all the major components in place, the important hoses cut and marked to be crimped, and what little fabrication that needs to be done, is completed.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Way back when we originally cut out the stock dash, we took advantage of the absence of the dash to test fit the Vintage Air Gen II Compac. Old hangers work good to hold the unit in place while the mounting brackets can be sorted out.With the Pontiac dash installed, a peek through the glovebox reveals how we took advantage of the tall dash and mounted it as high as possible to hide it. Mounting it this high renders the stock glovebox pretty useless; we'll use the space instead to mount the stereo head unit and other odds and ends.Our kit comes with a brand-new Sanden compressor that is mounted to the engine. The top, or suction, hose is a #10 A/C hose, which is the low-pressure return from the evaporator. The lower, or discharge, hose is a #8 A/C hose, which is the high-pressure out to the condenser. Those red and blue caps cover the service ports which are used to charge, evacuate, or service the system.These are the two hoses that will connect to the condenser, once in place. For now, the #8 high-pressure hose (top) and the #6 high-pressure or liquid line hose (bottom) are mocked in place to determine proper routing. Always be sure to mount the condenser with the #8 (high pressure gas) fitting on top and the smaller #6 (high pressure liquid) fitting on the bottom.The opposite end of the lower, liquid line hose will be routed to the evaporator via a firewall bulkhead. Vintage Air provides a template that is useful in getting all the proper holes drilled in the firewall.Once it's determined where the bulkhead should be located, the template is attached, marked, and drilled to spec. One helpful tip worth pointing out is that Vintage Air provides detailed instructions with their kits as well as being available for download at their website.Here's the installed bulkhead fitting with the low-pressure suction hose to the compressor on the bottom right and the high-pressure liquid line from the condenser to the evaporator on the bottom left. The two barb fittings at the top are for the heater hoses, which will be installed at final assembly. Crimp fittings for heater hoses are also available.Here's what the bulkhead fitting looks like from inside the cab. The tight 90-degree fittings will keep everything under the interior carpet via a formed access panel.
Here's a quick tip. If you don't have the proper 134A crimping tool and need to take your hose and fittings in to an A/C shop to get the fittings crimped, mark each end with a few short scribes of a Sharpie so that the relationship of both ends remains where you want it, preventing the hose from twisting or kinking upon installation.The adjustable heater control valve installs in the heater line that runs from the intake manifold to the heater tube nearest the blower on the evaporator. Note the flow arrow on the heater control valve. This is an inline fitting and should be mounted with the hoses below the servo.While the low-pressure line to the compressor goes straight from the evaporator to the bulkhead, the high-pressure liquid line coming in from the condenser goes through a binary switch as well as passing through the drier. The binary switch is a compressor safety switch that disengages the compressor clutch in case of an extreme low-pressure condition (refrigerant loss) or excessively high head pressure (406 psi), to prevent compressor damage or hose rupture. The drier's function is just as it implies; it filters the refrigerant and removes any water from the system using desiccant and should be mounted in a fairly cool, vertically-oriented location.Vintage Air offers a number of control panels to suit each individual's needs. Pictured is the Gen II four-knob underdash pod with center louver and optional Streamline knob kit.One great thing about Vintage Air is that the guys are hot rodders through and through and they understand that every individual install is different. Therefore, the control knobs that they offer with their pods can be easily removed and mounted individually.One example of this is how we decided to mount the Mode and Fan controls. The '52 Pontiac dash that we installed in the F-1 a few months back featured a panel behind the steering column that made for the perfect location to mount these two controls. On the left is the Mode control while the Fan control is on the right. Yet again another way we found to incorporate the contemporary features while maintaining that early aesthetic. The other two Temp controls will be mounted on the dash as yet to be determined.This is the A/C thermostat control that will be mounted on the dash. The gas-filled capillary tube on the end of the control goes into the evaporator and tells the compressor clutch when to cycle to regulate coil temperature and prevent coil freeze-up. Be sure to insert the capillary tube through the entire thickness of the evaporator core. Turning the knob clockwise makes the system operate colder.This is the heater control valve potentiometer that controls, you guessed it, the heater control valve.
Vintage Air provided the necessary wiring harness and relays to wire the controls to the evaporator and other items.The Mode control switch communicates with the evaporator to tell it what mode to switch to (floor, bi-level, defrost, etc.).The heater control switch wires directly to the control module in the evaporator which is then connected to the heater valve servo.The yellow/red/orange connector is wired from the high blower relay and fan speed switch directly to the blower motor to control the fan function. The white wire is a ground.Here are three different vents offered by Vintage Air. The left is a direct flow defrost duct, while the other two are underdash louvers.
It's attached via a hinge to the bottom of the dash and is held in an upright state using a cupboard magnet when not in use, allowing a hide-away state.It connects to the right side outlet of the evaporator. Be sure to stretch the flexible duct hose and route it as smoothly and directly as possible to get maximum airflow.The driver side vent mounts in the same way as the passenger side while the center outlet is somewhat unique. We used the stock heater box and fed it through the top to allow for a center outlet with two floor outlets as well. Check out the December 2009 issue of Street Rodder magazine for all the details.

"The Bond is the best overall book on animals I have ever read. Brilliant and moving, it will change the way we see the world and the way we see ourselves." (JOHN MACKEY, CEO and Co-founder of Whole Foods Market)
Majestic in sweep and beautifully written, The Bond is a monumental achievement. I can't think of any other book that is so valuable. It is truly wonderful!" (JEFFREY MASSON, New York Times bestselling author of When Elephants Weep)
From the Back Cover
A fascinating exploration of humanity's eternal bond with animals, and an urgent call to answer the needs of millions of at-risk creatures
A landmark work, The Bond is the passionate, insightful, and comprehensive examination of our special connection to all creatures, written by one of America's most important champions of animal welfare. Wayne Pacelle, the president of the Humane Society of the United States, unveils the deep links of the human-animal bond, as well as the conflicting impulses that have led us to betray this bond through widespread and systemic cruelty to animals.
Pacelle begins by exploring the biological and historical underpinnings of the human-animal bond and reveals our newfound understanding of animals, including their remarkable emotional and cognitive capacities. In the book's second section, Pacelle shows how the bond has been disastrously broken. He takes readers to a slaughter plant shuttered for inhumane practices, as well as the enormous egg factory farms of California. We visit Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas to speak with NFL star Michael Vick, then serving his sentence for dogfighting. Pacelle paints a portrait of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and highlights the heroic actions of residents and volunteers to reunite pets with their owners. Pacelle's narrative also leads the reader to remote locations in which conflicts over the killing of wildlife continue to play out—from the fields outside of Yellowstone National Park where bison are slaughtered with the encouragement of federal authorities, to the ice floes of Atlantic Canada where seal nurseries turn into killing fields.
In its final section, The Bond takes on the arguments of opponents and critics of animal protection and spotlights the groups and industries standing in the way of progress—from the National Rifle Association and agribusiness organizations like the American Farm Bureau, to surprising adversaries like the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Kennel Club. Ultimately, Pacelle points the way to a new, humane economy—one not built on extraction, suffering, and killing, but on the celebration, stewardship, and care of animals.
An eye-opening must-read, The Bond reminds us that animals are at the center of our lives, they are not just a backdrop. How we treat them is one of the great themes of the human story.

I think offering services would be OK, IFF the company makes a solid attempt to answer the question first, and makes an offer for their services for additional help or a more comprehensive solution as an addendum or something at the end of their answer.
This one didn't attempt to address the question at all, so I'm inclined to lean toward the spam view on it. (As for the links, I didn't think 1-rep users could add links...) An answer that detailed the many ways the import may be difficult, some of the later things that are likely to crop up, etc. would also have made me view the pitch for services in a better light... after all, it may be that the best solution really is "pay me to fix this for you".
I really don't think it should be done on here. Maybe if they offered in the comments. Maybe.
But the whole purpose of Stackoverflow is for the community to benefit from answers, it is not a place to hawk new clients who are having problems.
If every company posted a StackOverflow answer, then we'd be flooded. A comment might be okay, maybe.
Do you think your reaction be any different if they had a higher rep score?
Say they had 10k rep., their answer would be more like "We've done this before, we had to do ABC then DEF but don't do XYZ or it will blow up. Contact us if you get stuck"
As it stands, until they change their attitude, their answers aren't going to get upvoted.
I don't think there is much you can do to prevent this. It's quite easy to setup an rss feed on a tag.
The fact that they had +1 tells me they won't be around for long...
