We enjoyed a day of skiing at Sugarbush on Friday. Took a quick look at the map and realized how close we were to The Bobcat brewery in Bristol. We headed over past the old Glen Ellen Ski area (Sugarbush North) and then past Mad River Glenn ski area on the way through the notch and down the mountain to Bristol. What a scenic drive including seeing a rainbow in the waning light! The Bobcat is located right on Main Street in Bristol with plenty of parking out front and nearby, the parking is the old style front in rather than bumper to bumper parking. We sat at the bar and gave a try of the BobCat IPA and the Bobcat Downtown Brown. Both brews were excellent! Given we were quite a ways from Burlington and would be driving in the dark in a snow storm we decided to head out after only 2 beers.
Saturday we skied at Bolton Valley and later headed back to Burlingtons Church Street area for dinner at the Three Tomatoes we enjoyed a few Switchback Pale Ales and called it a evening.
We got up early on Sunday to head back to Sugarbush for another day of skiing. It had snowed all day and night Saturday so we knew we would be in for a fantastic early season ski day. After a full day of skiing (last run at 4pm skiing in Alpenglow). We loaded up the Honda and headed over to the Alchemist to sample some Heady Topper as well as pick up some brew special ordered by fellow MTBRers. Great trip with a couple new breweries visited.

In a previous question I asked what I need to know about turbo trainers, but several answers mentioned the use of rollers. What are the pros and cons of turbo trainers and rollers?

Turbo trainers allow you to alter the resistance, so they are good for interval style workouts. They don't require any skill to use as you're locked in place. But as most people will tell you, riding a turbo trainer gets very dull very quickly, and unless you really concentrate they don't do much for your "souplesse" (spinning smooth circles at a high cadence, the most efficient way to pedal) - it's easy to just stomp up and down on the pedals.
Rollers require you to balance and it takes a little to get used to them. On some models you can't alter the resistance, although you can of course shift into a higher gear to work harder. It's generally accepted that they are very good for your souplesse, in part because pedalling smoothly makes it easier to balance. They are also a lot less dull than a trainer - you can even get fancy sets of rollers that allow you to stand up and pedal.
Ideally you'd want both - a turbo trainer for shorter, intense interval style workouts against resistance to build speed and power, and rollers for spinning smoothly for longer periods of time to get in the miles and build endurance.
I would argue that there are few advantages to the trainers other than ease of use. Chris B's answer that an advantage of a trainer is the resistance is not valid since it is possible to change the resistance on rollers either by using a similar attachment like a magnetic wheel, or by using rollers with a smaller diameter.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Oman from comfortable that all I have to say When you look at shoes on-line they don't always seems to be what you thought they would be, I tired these on and they were super comfortable. I returned them because I bought a 7.5 and I am a size 7, I wanted to see how they looked and felt. On-line only had a 7.5 so I just thought I try them. It did not work for me so I returned them to my local store. There was no problem returning them to the store. Yes, I could have sent them back by mail but I live close to a Rockport. Everything you see in the store is not what is on-line. On-line has some discontinued shoes so I tried to give these a shot.

Jailhouse Rocks
Years in the planning and sporting a $40 million renovation price tag, The Headquarters at Seaport District hosted a VIP reception the night before its grand opening.
Early arrivals were surprised to find a police battalion marshaling the crowd outside the pink-stuccoed, Spanish-style charmer. Was a riot already breaking out over Pizzeria Mozza reservations? Nope. The uniformed set were just part of an homage to The Headquarters' roots as downtown's original police HQ, constructed in 1939. After the ribbon-cutting, bartenders dressed in cheeky khaki renditions of police attire continued the theme, passing out cocktails. Guests wandered through the dazzling, fountain-splashed courtyard nibbling hors d'oeuvres and checking out the retailers and dining destinations, including star chef Nancy Silverton's Mozza, and Puesto, the La Jolla street-taco joint that scored spacious new digs (and a Thomas Schoos makeover) in the former jailhouse.
Mariachi horns blared and legendary entertainers The Temptations took to the stage before the evening ended with a bang—literally. Fireworks lit up the night sky as guests made their way home. –Photography by Tim Hardy, shotbyhardy.com

I am planning on learning Objective-C to write an OS X application but it will depend on a library written in C++. Can C++ be used in an Objective-C app? Bear with me, I'm new to desktop development.
The C++ library will be used simply to analyze a file and return some data about that file. For example, in the libraries compiled example, in terminal you'd type
./xlsanalysis my_spreadsheet.xls
and it returns:
rows: 34
columns: 10
first row: "My Spreadsheet header"
Can I include this library directly into the Objective-C app or interface with it some how?

As a park ranger I am often asked which, out of all the abundant wonders of the parks, is my favorite place.
That's easy! For me, it's got to be the Crescent Beach Overlook area — partly because it's just a beautiful place and partly because it's rather historic.
The overlook is one of the prettier coastal viewing spots in Redwood National and State Parks. Atop a 200-foot cliff, it commands a view that stretches from Point St. George to the bluffs north of Damnation Creek.
If you walk 100 yards to the north of the parking lot there is a viewing platform over the cliff. Below to the right is the northern end of the long, flat, crescent-shaped South Beach, with Cushing Creek coming out of the bluffs below. To the left, the rocky southern end of Enderts beach and Nickel Creek glitter in the sunlight. Enderts was once written up as one of the 10 best secluded beaches in the country and is certainly one of the best tide pool areas around.
But what I like is the history. There is a story here. The trail to Enderts Beach is actually the old Redwood Highway. Opened in this area in the early 1920s, it lasted about 10 years before landslides forced the building of today's more inland route. Look south at the bits of road in the landslides and you can see why they moved it. Walk to Enderts Beach on the trail, and you are walking that old road —a half-mile stroll through decades of time. Start the journey by letting your imagination roam, it's 1930 and a Model A with redwood tourists just rolled past you.
The Nickel Creek campground was the site of the old Enderts Beach cottages, still advertised as late as 1947. This and the Pozzi Family's Cushion Creek Auto Court at the Cushing creek side of the hill were the first places you might have stayed. Once they moved the highway nobody came anymore. Today, there's not much left but some pieces of concrete and landscape bushes now grown into trees.
Look for a line of rocks blocking an old driveway before you drive up the hill. That's the auto court. Can you imagine a row of eight camping cabins there?
There are a lot of people who still remember the Pozzi family. Santiago and Delphina Pozzi were immigrants from Switzerland. They and their children farmed the area starting in 1914 and it stayed in the family until 1974. Their slaughterhouse sat on the flats below you and the road used to be called Slaughterhouse Road. An old line of trees below you marks the location of their homesite.
They were not the first farmers here. Back in 1890, H.H. Alexander started buying up 400-plus acres of the flatland below you and started the H.H. Alexander Dairy ranch. They would have been part of Crescent City's robust dairy operations that provided butter to inland mine camps.
Turn away from the overlook and look at the cliffs behind you. Prior to the old Redwood Highway, there was a previous road that descended those cliffs. The hill was so steep the horse wagon drivers would tie logs to their rigs before coming down just to slow down. What a sight that must have been! They called it Ragged Ass Hill back then. Good name. I would not want to drive a wagon down that hill. It was the vital link that enabled trade to the south.
Take another look at the hill and step back in time to June 12, 1828. Jed Smith and his band of mountain men have just pushed in from Damnation Creek and tonight they are camped on the hill at the head of Nickel Creek. On June 13 they walked down that hill and stayed the night at a Tolowa camp at the base of Cushing Creek. Yup, they would have walked within eyesight of where you are standing today. Imagine that.
Take one more step back in time and hear the echoes of the voices of the Native American fishermen as they fished the surf with nets. This was Tolowa country and they inhabited and fished the coast from here north for thousands of years. Persecution, disease and forced removal almost decimated the tribe during the mid-1800s, but the operative word is "almost." The people persevered and their customs and ways are still alive. When I asked what I could say about them, they said, "Tell people that we are still here."
We're lucky they are still here, because we have much to learn from them.
I'll end with the really distant history: the geology. These cliffs were formed as part of a collision of two giant crustal plates. The full story is complex, but if you walk the trail down to Enderts Beach, turn to the left and look at the rock with a hole in it. It's a layered mix of black and gray rocks. The layers are twisted and bent and it's a place you can see a fault line going right through the rock.
Want to see something else interesting? Look at the sand with a magnifying glass or, better yet, drop a magnet into it. The iron tells us even more about how the land formed.
Why do I like the overlook? This is a crossroads of time: a place where one might stand in one spot for millions of years and see it all, from the birth of the ground to the birth of a national park.
If you are local, you might already know a lot about the area from your youth. So, what I really would like to say is Redwood National and State Parks are not just for visitors from far away, it is Crescent City's park as well. If you have a story to tell or would like to know more, I invite you to find me in the park. Let's share and maybe bring back some of your special memories.

I am looking for a reference concerning operator theoretical Models of $K(\mathbb{Z},3)$. Stolz-Teichner briefly say in "what is an elliptic object" that a certain hyperfinite Type III-factor, called "local fermions on the circle" should be the right thing. Thanks
Here is a $C^*$-algebraic version of the model described in Andre Henriques' answer (the latter was linked by David Corfield in the accepted answer above):
Let $\mathcal{O}_2$ be the Cuntz algebra generated by two partial isometries $s_1$ and $s_2$ subject to the relations $s_i^*s_j = \delta_{i,j}$ and $s_1s_1^* + s_2s_2^* = 1$. This algebra has vanishing $K$-theory as was calculated by Cuntz. By the universal coefficient theorem and Bott periodicity, $KK(\mathcal{O}_2, S^n\mathcal{O}_2)$ should vanish as well, where $S^n\mathcal{O}_2$ denotes the $n$-fold suspension of $\mathcal{O}_2$. The automorphism group of the stabilized algebra $\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}$ (where $\mathbb{K}$ denote the compact operators on a separable Hilbert space) fits into a short-ish exact sequence
$$1 \to U(1) \to U(M(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K})) \to Aut(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}) \to Out(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}) \to 1$$
where $M(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K})$ is the multiplier algebra. The homotopy groups of $Aut(A \otimes \mathbb{K})$ for so-called Kirchberg algebras have been calculated (yeah, I was surprised too :-). You can find them in a paper by Dadarlat called "The homotopy groups of the automorphism groups of Kirchberg algebras". The result is
$$\pi_n(Aut(A \otimes \mathbb{K})) \cong KK(A,S^nA).$$
Now, $\mathcal{O}_2$ fits into that class and therefore has weakly contractible automorphism groups, but - by a theorem of Mingo - $U(M(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}))$ is contractible as well. Analyzing the above sequence, we see that $Out(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K})$ has the weak homotopy type of a $K(\mathbb{Z},3)$... at least if
$$1 \to PU(M(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K})) \to Aut(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}) \to Out(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K}) \to 1$$
is a fibration. In fact, it could very well be that the topology on the quotient $Out(\mathcal{O}_2 \otimes \mathbb{K})$ is quite horrible.
The unitary group of any purely infinite von Neumann algebra is contractible (this is a generalization of Kuiper's theorem due to Brüning and Willgerodt, "Eine Verallgemeinerung eines Satzes von N. Kuiper"). Thus the projective unitary group of any purely infinite von Neumann algebra has the homotopy type of K(Z,2) and its classifying space has the homotopy type of K(Z,3). This result has nothing to do specifically with hyperfinite type III1 factors, they appear for a different reason in the cited paper by Stolz and Teichner.

Okeechobee County K9 Officers Retire
Two of Okeechobee's finest-- and furriest--have retired from the department. Of the six K9 Officers at the Sheriff's Office, two are leaving active duty. K9 Officer Rex and K9 Officer Ruby are now retired.
Officer Rex is retiring after more than 9 years with the department, after an extremely successful career with his handler, Detective Rick Voss. Rex has had a productive career in both drug and suspect apprehensions. Rex together with Detective Voss, made hundreds of narcotic arrests and have seized well over $10,000.00 in US currency. He also assisted in more than thirty criminal apprehensions which also included nine bites. Rex will join the Voss family as their pet upon his retirement.
Officer Ruby has worked with her handler, Cpl. Donald Ellis, for the past ten years and has had a productive career in assisting with numerous narcotic and criminal arrests related to narcotic finds.
Officer Ruby will spend her retirement as Cpl. Ellis' family pet.
The bond between a handler and K9 partner is inexplicable. While deputy partnerships are clearly important, that between a K9 and his officer take on a different dimension.
The Working Dog
My eyes are your eyes,
to watch and protect you and yours.
My ears are your ears,
to hear and detect evil minds in the dark.
My nose is your nose,
to scent the invader of your domain.
And so you may live,
my life is also yours.
Sheriff May said of the retirements, "We appreciate all that K9 Ruby and K9 Rex have done for the Sheriff's Office and the citizens of Okeechobee County. Together they have apprehended some really bad people and stopped a lot of dope from being sold on the streets, sometimes to our children. I thank Detective Rick Voss for K9 Rex and Cpl. Don Ellis for K9 Ruby. They will be almost impossible to replace. I wish them the very best in their retirement and hope that their retirement is a long one."

Octopus is a delicacy.
you're all villains
all of you
Watched some Wheatley quotes on youtube yesterday, and my gf laughed at a few of them. When I got home today, she had bought both games and have been playing non-stop ever since. I became teary-eyed, as any other boyfriend would.
I ate a freshly shredded one once...had a texture like rubber
They taste good as hell but I can't see myself eating one alive or uncooked. I'll eat raw fish all day but octopus is too much damn work to chew even cooked.
That reminds me of Odori Don. Sorry for posting a video in the picture section. But relevant video is relevant.

I am looking for some help creating a set dynamically in ZIMPL.
I have a parameter table:
param Q[W*W] := |1,2,3,4,5|
I can access elements like: Q[1,2] --> 1, Q[3,3] --> 1, Q[3,4] --> 0.
What I want to do is create a function that, given a row index, returns me the column indices that have a value of 1. Like, func(Q,2) would return {1,2}. And func(Q,3) would return {3}.
I have been struggling with this, I've read the ZIMPL manual, and I can't find the right methods to do this. I know how to create a function, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually compute the set to return.

I have matrices for my syllabus but I don't know where they find their use. I even asked my teacher but she also has no answer. Can anyone please tell me where they are used? And please also give me an example of how they are used?
I work in the field of applied math, so I will give you the point of view of an applied mathematician.
I do numerical PDEs. Basically, I take a differential equation (an equation whose solution is not a number, but a function, and that involves the function and its derivatives) and, instead of finding an analytical solution, I try to find an approximation of the value of the solution at some points (think of a grid of points). It's a bit more deep than this, but it's not the point here. The point is that eventually I find myself having to solve a linear system of equations which usually is of huge size (order of millions). It is a pretty huge number of equations to solve, I would say.
Where do matrices come into play? Well, as you know (or maybe not, I don't know) a linear system can be seen in matrix-vector form as
$$\text{A}\underline{x}=\underline{b}$$ where $\underline{x}$ contains the unknowns, A the coefficients of the equations and $\underline{b}$ contains the values of the right hand sides of the equations. For instance for the system
$$\begin{cases}2x_1+x_2=3\\4x_1-x_2=1\end{cases}$$ we have
$$\text{A}=\left[ \begin{array}{cc} 2 & 1\\ 4 & -1 \end{array} \right],\qquad \underline{x}= \left[\begin{array}{c} x_1\\ x_2 \end{array} \right]\qquad \underline{b}= \left[\begin{array}{c} 3\\ 1 \end{array} \right]$$
For what I said so far, in this context matrices look just like a fancy and compact way to write down a system of equations, mere tables of numbers.
However, in order to solve this system fast is not enough to use a calculator with a big RAM and/or a high clock rate (CPU). Of course, the more powerful the calculator is, the faster you will get the solution. But sometimes, faster might still mean days (or more) if you tackle the problem in the wrong way, even if you are on a Blue Gene.
So, to reduce the computational costs, you have to come up with a good algorithm, a smart idea. But in order to do so, you need to exploit some property or some structure of your linear system. These properties are encoded somehow in the coefficients of the matrix A. Therefore, studying matrices and their properties is of crucial importance in trying to improve linear solvers efficiency. Recognizing that the matrix enjoys a particular property might be crucial to develop a fast algorithm or even to prove that a solution exists, or that the solution has some nice property.
For instance, consider the linear system
$$\left[\begin{array}{cccc} 2 & -1 & 0 & 0\\ -1 & 2 & -1 & 0\\ 0 & -1 & 2 & -1\\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array}{c} x_1\\ x_2\\ x_3\\ x_4 \end{array} \right]= \left[ \begin{array}{c} 1\\ 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{array} \right]$$ which corresponds (in equation form) to
$$\begin{cases} 2x_1-x_2=1\\ -x_1+2x_2-x_3=1\\ -x_2+2x_3-x_4=1\\ -x_3+2x_4=1 \end{cases}$$
Just giving a quick look to the matrix, I can claim that this system has a solution and, moreover, the solution is non-negative (meaning that all the components of the solution are non-negative). I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to draw this conclusion just looking at the system without trying to solve it. I can also claim that to solve this system you need only 25 operations (one operation being a single addition/subtraction/division/multiplication). If you construct a larger system with the same pattern (2 on the diagonal, -1 on the upper and lower diagonal) and put a right hand side with only positive entries, I can still claim that the solution exists and it's positive and the number of operations needed to solve it is only $8n-7$, where $n$ is the size of the system.
Moreover, people already pointed out other fields where matrices are important bricks and plays an important role. I hope this thread gave you an idea of why it is worth it to study matrices. =)
Matrices are a useful way to represent, manipulate and study linear maps between finite dimensional vector spaces (if you have chosen basis).
So, it's a useful tool of linear algebra.
Moreover, linear algebra is a crucial tool in math.
Graph Theory --loosely, the study of connect-the-dot figures-- uses matrices to encode adjacency and incidence structures. More than simply bookkeeping, however, the matrices have computational uses. From powers of the adjacency matrix, for a simple example, one can read the number of available paths between any two dots.
"Spectral" Graph Theory derives graph-theoretical information from matrix-theoretical results (specifically, "eigenvalues" and "eigenvectors" --by the way, the set of eigenvalues is the "spectrum" of a matrix, hence "spectral"-- which come from the linear map interpretation of matrices). My own work generates coordinates for "symmetric" geometric realizations of graphs --think Platonic and Archimedean solids-- from this kind of analysis of their adjacency matrices.
Matrices are a useful tool for studying finite groups. Every finite group has a representation as a set of invertible matrices; the study of such representations is called, well, Representation Theory.
One of the major theorems of all time in finite group theory is the classification of all finite simple groups. These are the building blocks of group theory, the group-theoretic version of prime numbers. The "proof" took scores of mathematicians many decades, and could not have been completed without viewing these groups as groups of matrices. One just has to open the ATLAS of Finite Groups, or wonder what a group of Lie type is, to get my point!
(Of course, linear algebra is exceptionally useful etc. etc. but that is a topic better covered by an engineer...)
In the most general sense, matrices (and a very important special case of matrices, vectors) provide a way to generalize from single variable equations to equations with arbitrarily many variables. Some of the rules change along the way, hence the importance of learning about matrices - more precisely, learning Linear Algebra, or the algebra of matrices.
Matrices are used very often in 3D geometry (e.g. computer graphics) and are very powerful. A simple 4x4 matrix can represent a lot of transformations at once (translation, rotation, scaling, perspective/orthogonal projection). You can then multiply a 3D position vector (x, y, z, 1) by this matrix to obtain a new position with all the trasformations applied. Notice that this vector is also a 1x4 matrix (although the position is in 3D, the fourth component is added to make the multiplication possible and allow for the projection transformation, if you want to know more read about homogeneous coordinates). Similar ideas can be used in 2D or even in higher dimensions like 4D.
I know and use matrices for two things: systems of equations and holding data in programming.
Matrices can represent Markov Chains. They provide a means for the tabular representation of data. Their utility in mathematics and computing is huge.
Matrices are used in engineering, physics, computer science, and other applications of mathematics.
We are forever indebted to the mathematicians that made matrix algebra possible...
Real world applications of matrices make them extremely important and include the some of following I've had some experience with... (there are so many more!)
Robotics / Kinematics - matrices allow rotations, translations through planes to be easily calculated
Betting - matrices allow complex dutching/betting combinations without separate formulae such as multiple complex simultaneous equations.
Data Mining - Most data mining software use matrices to calculate the algorithms as it's fundamental to this field of mathematics both in the theory and the handling of data.
Graphics/Gaming - Anything from particle collision to ray tracing use matrices
All posts I've read so far have valid uses of matrices and so many more that I couldn't even comprehend...
I never fully got matrices until I left university. I am glad I understand now.
An example: A good quality camera will save the captured image uncorrected, along with a 3x3 colour correction matrix. Your computer will multiply this with the colour correction matrix of your display, and then by every pixel in the image before putting it on your display. The computer will use a different display matrix for the printer (as it is a different display).
Look at several real world examples. Experiment with colour or 2D/3D transformations, they are fun and visual (if you are a visual person). 2D is easiest and most visual.

Recent Guest Testimonials:
This place was perfect! Rooms were clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Pools were amazing and the arcade is fabulous! Brunch on Sunday is a must... We spent my triplets 8th bday there with 13 total family members. We've now decided this has to become an annual event! I'm a pretty picky traveler, so for all you questioning this hotel... Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
We, three generations now, have returned to The Bavarian Inn annually for 17 Thanksgiving holidays. We have wonderful memories from our visits. Lovely, clean rooms with each room dedicated to the history of local families that helped to settle the area. A variety of pools available for all ages and relaxing hot tubs, too. The younger part of the family happily makes use of the recently installed water slides. We also enjoy the delicious buffet available on the holiday. The staff at the Inn is very friendly and gracious. We have made use of the traditional feel of the Bavarian Inn to make special traditions for our family!
(We have also stayed here each September since 2002 for the Frankenmuth Autofest Classic Car Show / Event...good times!)
The staff was most informative,courteous,friendly and ready to make our stay"Home away from home".We highly recommend this lodge for great meals and top of the list in hospitality.We are now addicted to return shortly.Addiction can be very rewarding.
this is our go to place for a short getaway. Always clean, the service is great and it's got a lot for the kids to do. Indoor arcade, mini golf, several pools (including adult only if you are traveling without children) and water slides. In the evening they do family karaoke in the fun center. I recommend staying here if you like a nice hotel, great staff and good value!
We recently spent 3 days and two nights mid week here and were very happy with the accommodations. The three pools all have hot tubs beside them and one has the coolest kid area with the big slide that is covered and all kids love. We enjoyed the adult only pool as well. We enjoyed our retreat time in this little piece of Bavaria in Frankenmuth!!! Everyone is so friendly and happy you are there!!
My family and I stay here at least four times a year if not more and it has always been our favorite destination. The staff is always very friendly the rooms are clean and there is enough to do that you don't have to leave the hotel if you don't want to. This last trip we waited late to book it and even though they had sold the last room package already they gave us a slightly nicer room at the same rate! The young lady making our reservations made me feel like she truly WANTED us to be able to stay with them, SHE WAS AWESOME!
Perfect weather, perfect Autumn day, and after a day of touring and playing, the warm welcome, amazing rooms, and overall ambience of The Bavarian Inn Lodge kept the perfect going! This property never ceases to amaze me. Service is consistently responsive and friendly. The rooms and restaurants are impeccably appointed. And, despite the amount of people and all events taking place, I felt like one of the family. This will always be my choice of lodging when visiting Frankenmuth.
What better way to celebrate my wife's birthday, then a romantic getaway to this enchanting, warm and inviting venue. The architecture of this facility is breathtaking. My wife and I strolled the grounds daily. We especially loved relaxing at the Lorelei Lounge each night. The bar staff (Audrey and Diamond), made us feel at home. We were greeted with a warm "Welcome back you guys" each evening. I recommend the "Soaking in the Sun" cocktail! Nightly entertainment provided by Kurt singing to the bar patrons made us feel very welcomed.
Oma's restaurant was delicious. I recommend the banana nut bread french toast (no syrup required). Water slides were fun. All in all the atmosphere from this hotel could equate to receiving a warm hug from your grandmother. Can't wait to return.
Probably the fastest, most efficient check-in and check-out I have ever experienced. Staff very helpful and go out of their way to assist. Lots of kids activities but just as enjoyable for folks like us without kids.
We love staying at the Bavarian Inn Lodge when we visit Frankenmuth. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and there is so much to see and do within a short walk. Its great to see the families, the young couples and the seniors having a nice time at the Lodge. The Bavarian Inn restaurant has great food, they even offer a vegetarian menu if chicken is not your thing. We recommend it to anyone not already familiar with this Michigan treasure.
My husband and I were guests at the Bavarian Inn lodge while attending a wedding reception. The service, venue and food were absolutely first rate. Old fashioned personal service , excellent food and comfortable rooms are hallmarks of the Bavaraian Inn. I would much rather stay here than any big chain hotel!
I would recommend them to families with young children as well as older couples looking for quality and comfort. Jean Libs
Not only was the staff extremely helpful and friendly, the hotel itself was very accommodating. I came with my family of six, kids ages ranging from 8-2 and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The rooms were very spacious and so it was still enjoyable being in our room too. Overall a great time had by all and can't wait to go back soon!
I have been coming here since I was born, and my parents would come every year since they met. I thought it would be fun to spend a relaxing time and enjoy ourselves at the Bavarian Inn for my anniversary. And I was right! We had an amazing time, as always, and even though this was my first time coming here as an adult, I had just as much fun, if not more. The room was beautiful, the pools were clean, and if you don't mind being surrounded by children having fun then this place is the perfect hotel for an anniversary getaway!
This hotel has the friendliest staff of any place I have stayed at in many years. The rooms are very clean, well decorated and large. Excellent food and entertainment provided within the hotel. The location is perfect for visiting the sights in beautiful Frankemuth. Stay here and you will be glad you did!
Our family has been staying at the Bavarian since the 90's. Once again this beautiful well maintained resort did not disappoint . We had very spacious room with a view of the river. If you plan to return make sure to join the perks club. Try the pizza in the ratzkeller in the family fun center, and the chicken in Oma's . 5 pools with one dedicated to adults and 3 hot tubs. We always enjoy our stays here and walks across the covered bridge into town. We'll keep coming back.
We chose the Bavarian Inn because it had something for every member of our family. My oldest enjoyed the water slides, my youngest the putt putt, my husband liked the pretzel making class and I enjoyed the shopping. I can't wait to go back!

Spent 2 nights with our 3 granddaughters over Christmas break. This was our 2nd stay with them here. We had a great time. Plenty for the girls to do. They love the pools, arcade, games & dancing in the Lorelei lounge & karaoke in the Ratskellers. We didn't leave the lodge for the 2 nights because of the cold weather. Stayed in a family suite on the fun center level which was perfect. Nice refrigerator in suite but could definitely use a microwave in room to heat leftovers from meals. Plan on staying with them 3 nights next Christmas break and attending New Year's Eve celebrations.
My family and I having going to the Bavarian Inn for years. 20+ years, since I was a kid when my parents took me and my sister with there friends. So now in my 30's, my sister and I kept the tradition going by taking our families. My Family and I had a great time and obviously we're creating great memories' for our kids. What an OUTSTANDING PLACE for family fun and entertainment.
"I Felt Like I Was At A Couples Resort"
We have stayed at the Bavarian Inn Lodge multiple times over the years usually with our kids. We have always had a fantastic time. Kids absolutely love it. BUT this was a weekend away for just my husband and I for Snow Fest and his birthday. Our room was a walkout to the adult pool courtyard. And as much as I loved taking the kids there in the past, I would have never known there were kids in the lodge. I felt like I was at a couple's resort.
We spent a wonderful evening in the Lorelei lodge with fabulous service and wonderful entertainment.
We will definitely be coming back.
We had so much fun and the staff was awesome. I recommend hanging out in the lounge when entertainment sings! He has an amazing voice and my 3 kids loved it. We are planning our next stay!!
If you want great service, delicious food, a comfortable room, and fun atmosphere the Bavarian Inn Lodge is the place for you.
Three adults, three teens and a sixteenth birthday party. There was something for everyone, from an adults only pool to huge water slides and pools for the teens.We all had a blast, the birthday girl had a memorable time and best of all, not once did I hear, " I'm bored". Thanks to a great staff!
This was one of the best hotel/resort experiences that we have had. It was really unique to be able to step into a hotel and feel like you are in another part of the world! The staff was awesome from the check in to the games room and everywhere else. Good food and lots to do without even leaving the hotel. The water slides were fun for little kids through to adults! We planned to stay for one night and were able to book a second night although it was very busy during the winter festival in Frankenmuth. We felt very welcomed when, Kim, one of the managers of the hotel asked if he could assist us at the front desk and took the time to speak with us and our kids casually and ask us questions about our stay. Considering the level of service we received-even during a sold out hotel-we are already anticipating our next trip back!

Mini Stock Project Build - Honk If Parts Fall OffWritten by on March 14, 2011 The Method And Mayhem Behind Selecting A New Race Car And A Behind-The-Scenes Of The City Boy Teardown
Imagine my delight when we finally got the City Boy, our new Mini Stock Mustang, back to the shop and up on the lift. Here I was, thinking in a couple of days we would be down to the bare metal, welding in a cage, and heading out to the track. I mean, how hard can prepping a Mini Stock Mustang be? Unfortunately, my reckless optimism got the best of me once again and, as it turns out, putting a quality race car together is neither easy nor fast. Since the real brains behind this operation, Pete Epple and Editor Rob Fisher, like to cover every base before moving forward, we had two days' worth of inspection prior to making any real moves. In this particular build, that meant tearing our stock Mustang down to the core and really figuring out what could stay, what had to go, and what was ruined beyond repair. Luckily, we had a lot of the former and none of the latter, which meant luck was on our side during the pickup and purchase of our Mini Stock-to-be.
Trust me, I know this stuff might seem a bit boring at first, but I can't tell you how many racers we've seen waste weeks or months chasing issues that should have been solved from the start.
There's no point installing a high-horsepower cheater motor or a set of tricked out shocks if your chassis is twisted like a pretzel or your suspension pickup points are all out of line. That would be the equivalent of building a chassis without measuring it or without knowing where your moment center is (blatant nod to CT chassis guru Bob Bolles). You know what we're talking about here and no one wants to be that guy. "Hey, Joe, did you ever notice your car sits crooked and dog legs around the track?" That's not the conversation you want to have after spending six months in your garage, slaving away night after night to finish your project, and it's one you can avoid with a couple of hours, a keen eye, and a string. Yes, stringing your car is important and something you can learn how to do by searching the topic on www.circletrack.com.
Whether you're a first time racer, like I am, or a seasoned veteran of the oval track, we've collected some of the most common problem areas on any initial build and highlighted them on the following pages. As always, we invite you to follow along and send us your feedback!

Everyone knows racing isn't cheap, especially if you get halfway into a project only to find a major issue, like a twisted chassis or a destroyed suspension pickup point. That's the reason we took our time on teardown and tried to save all the loose change we found-you never know when it may come in handy! If you're following along at home and building a car from the ground up, you'll no doubt run into some bumps along the way, but that's what we're here for.Before checking out the engine bay or drivetrain parts, our first concern was the floorpan and chassis. From underneath, the car looked surprisingly in tact, but there's only one way to find out the real extent of any rust problem, and that's to dig deep.You could choose to leave the center console, dash, and armrest in place, but according to our rule set, "any interior part which is flammable must be removed," and it's OK to "remove any interior parts which are held in place with fasteners only." With weight and safety a primary concern, all of these parts had to go.The carpet in any production car is certainly flammable and heavy, which meant Epple had to cut it out and ditch it. Depending on your chassis, and the condition of the stock carpet, you may try to save it and sell it later. Good carpet can bring a pretty penny and that can help fund future modifications.With everything out of the way, we took a really good look at the floorpan. The driver and passenger footwells looked great in our project, which was a relief. Toward the rear of the car, under the rear seating carpet, we did find some signs of rust but not enough to concern us. If you find an issue with your car here, you have a choice to make: weld in new floorpans or scrap the chassis and find a new one. Neither option is a ton of fun but there's no reason to sink time and money into a project with major rust issues.Back to the fun stuff-the engine bay! When we purchased City Boy, the previous owner (Hi Jay!) told us that it ran but needed some work. Unfortunately, by the time we got to Savannah to pick it up, someone had stolen one of the coils and part of the electrical system. Not a deal breaker, but hopefully not a sign of things to come.Many Mini Stock racers run stock radiators on track, and while that's affordable and works well, you need to ensure that your cooling system is up to snuff before making any laps. Even a mildly damaged radiator can ruin your night and your car, so make sure to test everything related to cooling before putting the hammer down! Our radiator was junk, as you can see, so the hunt began for a new unit.Remember that rust from the interior? Well, it also made its way onto the driver- and passenger-side framerail. Upon initial inspection it looked pretty serious, but after some further investigation, the base metal looked decent. When in doubt, always make sure to dig a little deeper, even if it means breaking out a couple of tools to clean up and thoroughly inspect the area.On any modern race platform that starts with a stock body, it's important to pay special attention to all of the suspension pickup points or mounting brackets. Starting in the engine bay, our first concern was the shock towers. You want to verify they're in good shape, with no deformations or signs of fatigue. On early body Mustangs (pre 1970), these are notorious for sagging, which destroys alignments and severely affects handling. Luckily, most of the late-model cars show no signs of sag, as was the case with ours.
Think we're going racing on that shock? Think again. The driver side may be salvageable, but this one looked bent and beat up, which would cause a plethora of handling issues, that may or may not have been hard to track down. Maybe the previous owner liked to jump railroad tracks or hit curbs? Whatever the case, we made sure to put down four, stock-appearing shocks on our shopping list. Like those words "stock appearing"? We'll get into that later.While it's possible to race with the stock bars, we're not even going to consider it, as the advantage of a properly selected front and rear antisway bar is too great to pass up. Interestingly, our rulebook says nothing of antisway bars, which means we're going to spend a lot of time in the future coming up with the perfect set for our needs.The power steering pump, rack, and lines should be checked for leaks or tears in any of the components. While some people prefer to run a manual-style rack, we're going to leave the power unit for the first couple of races. This is a personal preference, so only you or your driver can decide what to do. Of course, any way you choose, you need to make sure everything is in proper working order before heading out on track.Gross! Not surprisingly, our little stock four-cylinder leaks around the oil pan. During this phase of our inspection, we noted this issue but didn't dive any deeper. Engines can always be fixed and we don't plan on keeping this one "stock" for long, so this is an issue for a later date. Of course, if you find any major leaks or holes, you're going to have to fix them before race day.Project G.R.E.E.N. may be an emissions complaint vehicle, but we have no such intentions! Even if you would like to keep a catalytic converter on your car, make sure you inspect it for any issues, such as a clog, now. Collapsed converters can wreak havoc on an engine and can result in a partial or complete loss of power and they often go undetected.Mini Stock racing allows for either a manual or automatic transmission, although we plan on ditching the slushbox for a real manual five-speed option. When selecting a project, try to find one with the right transmission, so you can save yourself the hassle and expense of converting the car over. We didn't, and will have to pay the price in a couple of months, when we go back and install all of the necessary parts to get the manual up and running.Each and every Fox-body Mustang must be checked for torque-box issues. The torque box, shown here, is the main mounting location for the two upper control arms. In cars with a lot of horsepower, or ones that have seen a lot of abuse, these torque boxes can tear out from the chassis. As you can imagine, this can cause major problems, especially if the issue isn't addressed early on. If you happen to have a torque-box issue, there are aftermarket solutions available depending on the severity of the problem and your end goal, or you can re-weld them yourself, if you can assure they end up in the original location.According to the rule book the "Drive axle must be strictly stock for make and model of car. Must not be locked." That's fine with us, since our Mustang came with a 7.5-inch rear, stuffed with a 3.73:1 ring-and-pinion. Depending on your track, this gearing may not be ideal but we hope it at least gets us going, so we don't have to spend the money twice (or three times!) to get the gearing right. The slightly moist cover isn't a great sign, but hopefully the internals are still in good shape.Last but not least, we checked out the stock brakes on City Boy. According to the rule book, we can only run "stock factory OEM 4 wheel working brakes" without any brake bias device. Obviously, these pads and rotors are shot, but after confirming the calipers are in good condition, a simple trip to the parts store should get us up and running. For now, we're putting the brakes on this story, and on City Boy's build, until we can gather up some parts for our chassis stiffening and safety upgrade. Check back next month to see our next move!

7 Animals That Are Evolving Right Before Our Eyes
People who doubt evolution tend to have one main argument: "If evolution is true, why do we still see monkeys running around today, all chimp-like? Where are all the monkey-men I was promised?"
Well, if you or someone you know refuses to believe that organisms change over time without proof on a monkey-man level, here are a buttload of animals in the middle of getting their evolve on. Well, seven anyway.
#7. Elephants are Evolving to Lose Their Tusks (and Avoid Poachers)
Here's a joke: What did the elephant say to the poacher?
Answer: Dear God in heaven, please don't kill me for my ivory.
"Stop! Ha ha! You're killing me!"
Sorry about that. Sometimes we get "joke" mixed up with "tragic imagined dialogue that could be happening at this very second if elephants had the power of speech." When the international ban on the trade of ivory took effect in 1989, there were about a million elephants in Africa and about 7.5 percent of those were getting poached to death every year. Today, less than half of them are left, and we're still losing about 8 percent of elephants to ivory poachers. Pretty much everything we've done to protect our wild pachyderm friends has failed.
And ever since animal rights got involved, unemployment has shot up 300 percent. Oh wait, we're being depressing again.
So elephants have decided to take matters into their own hands ... or trunks or weirdly rounded three-toed feet or whatever. To make themselves less appealing to their greatest enemies (poachers), elephants all over the world have begun selecting against having tusks at all. For example, it used to be that only 2 to 5 percent of Asian male elephants were born without tusks, and you can believe those few were the belittled Dumbos of the group.
By 2005, it was estimated that the tuskless population had risen to between 5 and 10 percent. And it's not just happening in Asia, either. One African national park estimated their number of elephants born without tusks was as high as 38 percent. It's natural selection in action: either lady elephants are deliberately choosing tuskless mates, or the only boy elephants surviving into breeding time are the ones born without tusks. Either way, that tusklessness is getting passed on.
Just like your debilitating lisp after reading that out loud
Which is incredible, because it's not like tusks are the elephant version of wisdom teeth. They're weapons and tools, and they're needed to dig for water and roots and to battle for the love of a lady. Which means nature decided poachers are a greater threat to the elephant's existence than its diminished ability to forage or to score.
#6. Russian Dogs are Evolving to Learn the Subways
Maybe you think you've got a smart dog. Maybe you've given him a monocle, named him Dr. Tesla Sagan and taught him how to roll over every time someone recites pi. But while you and Brain the Dog were perfecting parlor tricks, the stray dogs of Moscow have evolved to master the city's subway system.
You may have a degree, smart dog, but has it got real world applications? No? You're an asshole, dog.
Today, there are around 35,000 strays roaming Moscow, as dog catching fell behind when the Soviet Union collapsed. Over several generations of breeding, those dogs have gotten very, very smart. If Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure taught us anything, besides some sweet-ass songs, it's that street dogs have to rely on their wits to get vittles. And since only 3 percent of Moscow's strays survive long enough to breed, only the toughest and more importantly, the smartest, end up procreating.
Among these Einstein strays, hundreds have taken up residence in the underground metro stations and have freaking learned how to travel their territories via subway train. They'll stand and wait for the train, just like everyone else, then sneak on, go to sleep, and get off at their stops. Day after day. Scientists figure they use smell and the recorded names of stations to navigate.
Via popsci
"Late as usual, am I right? Oh, I mean woof."
And that's not all they've figured out. Roving gangs of begging dogs have learned how to send out the smallest and cutest among them to do their begging. And big dogs have learned the bark and grab: jumping and barking at on a person eating a snack, making them drop it, then pouncing on the dropped food.
"I have this human well trained."
You know what this means, guys? We are one Billy Joel song away from a real world Oliver and Company on the streets and subways of Moscow.
#5. Hudson River Fish are Becoming Immune to Toxic Waste
From 1947 to 1976, the Hudson River was on the business end of some of the country's most egregious water polluting. Specifically, General Electric's 1.3 million pounds of PCBs, which single-handedly turned the river into one of the country's worst Superfund sites.
And that's not even counting any of the surprise dead bodies.
So you'd think that the animals living in the Hudson would have either completely died off or mutated into hilarious pizza-loving crime fighters -- and you'd be mostly right. But only because no one told you about the Atlantic tomcod. Over the past 20 to 50 generations, the tomcod has done something that would usually take thousands of years or a comic book origin story to pull off: They've evolved immunity from the poison in their water.
Via National Geographic
"We haven't evolved immunity from air though, idiot. Put me back."
Most fish have a receptor gene that contains a protein which regulates the effects of toxins. The tomcods have that gene, but over the past few years, their version has dropped six base pairs, the part of the DNA that toxic molecules stick to. Think of those base pairs like an innocent woman's boobs, and the toxins in the water as Andy Dick's molesting hands. The toxins seek out and grope the crap out of DNA that have them, which triggers a chain reaction of mutations. Without those base pairs, the toxins slide off the gene like hot lard on a Slip-n-Slide.
What must have started as a freak mutation eventually became the only thing keeping the fish alive. And the best part? Eating the tomcod renders humans immune to all industrial toxins. (Just kidding. They'll definitely give you super cancer.)
#4. Lizards are Evolving to be Dancers
The interesting thing about lizards is how readily they submitted their allegiance to an upstart rock singer with way more interest in whiskey and mysticism than policy and governance. The other interesting thing about lizards is how adaptable they are.
There's really only two interesting things about lizards. This dull bastard hasn't moved for four hours now.
Take the southeast fence lizard, for example. When fire ants were accidentally introduced to the States about 70 years ago, the fence lizard found itself defenceless against them. The ants had no natural enemies, and it only took 12 of them to take a lizard down in about a minute. Seventy years later, the lizards that live closest to the port where the ants were first introduced have evolved an unlikely strategy for dealing with their antagonists. How unlikely? Well, there's a dance involved, which makes these animals the first on record to employ the West Side Story method of self-defense.
Check it:
While other lizards respond to ant attacks by "sitting still, just hoping the ants would go away," these smooth operators developed an ant-shaking shimmy that they've passed on to their kids. And those kids have longer legs for quicker get-aways. Just so we're clear: Nature, not weird daddy issues, has created leggy lizards that thwart attackers through shaking what their mommas gave them.
But maybe a lizard defense developed over a few generations isn't impressive to you. If that's the case, you should meet the lerista skink. Because, while the fence lizard was getting better at dancing, these skinks were watching their dancing careers end right before their eyes. That is, their legs are going away.
Via MSNBC
Which is why some of these skinks have little T-Rex nubbin arms, and others don't, like snakes.
Via biomedcentral
Apparently, slithering through the Australian sand is easier than walking through it, and these limb-shedders have adjusted. Of course, by that logic, you'd think humans would have evolved roller skate feet and Go Go Gadget arms by now, but we'll leave that conundrum for Darwin.

Waldorf-Astoria Takes Couple Back in Time
Ten years ago, the five adult children of Jerry and Peg Sussingham decided to chip in for a room at the Waldorf-Astoria so that their parents could stay in the same hotel that they'd stayed in on their wedding night in 1952. It was then that the family learned of a little-known policy honoring the original room rate for couples returning for a milestone anniversary.
Evidently the siblings had a real bargain on their hands, but there was a catch: The offer hinged on their father's ability to furnish the original receipt, a feat that seemed outside the realm of possibility.
But Mr. Sussingham came through. "He's very organized," said Mrs. Sussingham, sitting beside him on a love seat in a suite that now goes for $3,450 a night on the 19th floor of the hotel. The Sussinghams, who are both 83 years old, paid a whopping $21 for the room when they returned again for their 60th anniversary this weekend.
Mrs. Sussingham gave a tour of the bedroom, living room and two bathrooms.
"Plenty of closet space," she said. "We'll never live this well again. It's going to be tough checking out."
The pair wed at St. Patrick's Cathedral and have lived for the past 50 years in a brick colonial in Baldwin, Long Island. They met working for Blue Cross insurance where Mr. Sussingham was an employee for 44 years.
"You like something, you stay with it," he said.
Theirs wasn't love at first sight. In fact, they didn't fall for each other until separate injuries landed them in the same hospital.
"One thing led to another and here we are," said Mrs. Sussingham.
"She's a real smart one, beautiful and a lot of fun," he said.
While much has changed in 60 years at the Waldorf-Astoria, the hotel recently renovated its lobby to re-create its original 1930s grandeur. Perhaps this helped Mrs. Sussingham's flow of memory.
"This is what I remember, coming up to the lobby," she said. "It was all so beautiful. The fellow there at the desk saw me with my big corsage and he said, 'Oh, are you newlyweds?' I think he upgraded us."
The next morning, "We got pancakes, in the room. That was a big deal for me."
Would they be ordering them again this time around?
"I thought about that," she said. "That would be nice. For old-times sake."
Pancakes aren't covered in the milestone policy, however: They're currently on the menu for $24.00.

I've always wanted an automatic process for these tools instead of having to click insert again and again. It seems easy but I can't do it in modelbuilder and I can't seem to find anyone making a script for it on the web. I want to use a certain north arrow and scale bar each time.
Have you looked into setting up a map template with your prefered map elements? It may be a good workaround for you in the short term.

Fedora Linux
From OLPC
Fedora is the underlying operating system on the OLPC XO laptop. This is the Linux distribution (previously called "Fedora Core") developed by Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat.
Because it is the Linux base chosen by the OLPC on which to develop Sugar, it is a reference for any other Linux distribution attempting to run on the XO-1 hardware or present the Sugar UI on a conventional computer.
Each OLPC software release has been based on a version of Fedora, for example 10.1.3 is based on Fedora 11. Over time, the OLPC operating system has moved closer to a "stock" Fedora release with some additional olpc packages, created with the OS Builder tool.
Language support
Fedora Core 6 uses the SCIM (Smart Common Input Framework) system to support multiple IMEs and keyboard layouts for multiple writing systems and languages. This includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many other languages.
Installing Sugar
If you have a Fedora distribution running on a computer, you can install the Sugar environment that runs on the XO laptop.

I passed the roadsign below while driving home late last night, and realised that despite how many times I had seen it, I was still surprised by the choice of words used and unsure if it was actually grammatically correct.
After all, the wording on roadsigns is crucial. As we all know, it needs to be clear and succinct.
So, to my mind the words
Road liable to flooding
should be
Road liable to flood
or it could be rewritten
Road prone to flooding
Am I right, or is the original ok?

6 Reasons It's Time For Matthew McConaughey To Go Away
Matthew McConaughey is a chick flick man with no business being a chick flick man. The ratio of how dreamy he's being sold as to how dreamy he actually is can't be solved on a calculator without generating a division by zero error.
This is what the Internet says will happen.
I am not a chick flick watcher by any means but I do respect that as a genre, the romantic comedy has specific requirements and measures of quality, allowing individual films to run the gamut from abysmal abominations of overwrought, formulaic shit to very decently produced packages of overwrought, formulaic shit. Some chick flicks are qualitatively better than others, just like some attacks of food poisoning are better than others.
Left: Two Weeks Notice. Right: Gigli.
The most crucial contributor to romantic comedy quality? Story.
Got you there! But seriously, it's the guy. The male love interest must be dreamy. "Dreamy" is an objective term based on a 102-point evaluation of physical features and electrode measurements of key smile muscles. George Clooney works. Or Jude Law. Or Hugh Grant. Or Richard Gere, why not? Or that awful man from Grey's Anatomy. If you are a clever reader, you might sense I don't necessarily like all those guys, and you're right. But they have nice faces and movie star charm, so if someone wants them for a chick flick, it makes sense.
Then there's Matthew McConaughey.
#1. Matthew McConaughey Looks Like That
He has always looked somewhat like that. If anything, the stupid beard emphasizes his essential look rather than changing it.
However, that's obviously not what the casting directors used in choosing him as a romantic lead, so fine, here's him with his signature look.
I'm not sure if he has a Zoolander-style name for that look but I imagine it would be called the "Punch Magnet." I assume this is the trademarked charming smile that he uses to melt ladies' hearts and tickle the money out of their wallets at the box office. This makes no sense.
As far as corner-of-the-mouth smiles go, there's one that says, "I'm a loveable rogue and you just never know what I might do next!" and there is one that says, "I guess you saw through my tough outer shell to the sensitive guy deep down." He doesn't do either of those. What we have here is the "I've got a bridge I want to sell you" smile. Or in the context of his movies, "I'm going to tell you a bunch of lies so I can have sex with you."
"Like new. Hardly been driven. Have sex with me."
Some people think women like being lied to and mistreated by "alpha male" types, but these are generally people who study women only by reading books and being rejected. A lot of women enjoy some level of mischief and roguishness in a man, but not the level that would ditch them without a callback number and leave gifts such as a pregnancy, an STD or the privilege of being an entry in a book of "conquests." The thought of that is not usually appealing to a woman when being picked up on, because I guess women are just crazy.
Anyway, McConaughey might not be that kind of guy, but his face thinks he is. And that kind of matters for an actor.
But enough about his smarmy smile and his nasty hair and his stupid beard. Let's not get hung up on the fact that the man looks like he's draped a permed bird's nest over his head that has long been abandoned by its bird family and is now receding day by day under the wear of the elements. Dwelling on that is petty. Let's move on to weightier issues.
#2. They Manipulated Us Into Liking Him
"Us" meaning whoever is paying into the $100 million box office take for his movies, not literally us. Anyway, those poor bastards probably wouldn't even like him if they hadn't been conned into it.
The conspiracy started with McConaughey's breakthrough role, in the 1996 John Grisham adaptation A Time To Kill, a riveting sci-fi thriller about a futuristic society where all citizens can kill anyone they want between 2 and 4pm every day except holidays.
I assume. I didn't watch it. This was due to no lack of effort on Joel Schumacher's part though.
When you're putting out a film starring a relative unknown, it's a risk. You can either go with that risk and hope the movie will succeed on its own merits, or if you are director Joel Schumacher, you forcibly make this relative unknown into a star before the movie even comes out. He wined and dined influential movie media types left and right until he left his lip prints on every ass in Hollywood. The movie was a success and McConaughey was certified as an official Hollywood hunk, leading Schumacher to believe he could sell the public on anything.
He was wrong.
Anyway, in McConaughey's case, the movie-going public swallowed it hook, line, sinker. Women bought that he was attractive. Men didn't think he was so great and what was the big deal about him anyway, my pecs would totally look like that if I had time to go to the gym. Which essentially validated him as equivalent to Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or what have you.
And many people who wouldn't believe someone was sexy just because Joel Schumacher said so, apparently would if celebrity magazines said so. The magazines set to work and hyped him to an unwarranted level of fame where he would probably come to mind if you had to think of 10 or 15 male movie stars off the top of your head who would show up to a photo shoot if you called them, which I believe is how People Magazine came up with its 2005 Sexiest Men Alive list.
Seriously, Vince Vaughn and Ian McShane? I can think of many positive adjectives for Ian McShane but I don't think "sexy" is one of them.
And I can't think of any positive adjectives for Vince Vaughn.
So if you're entertaining the possibility that all this McConaughey promotion was just well-deserved appreciation of a genuine talent, try to remember these people immediately followed up their anointing of him with attempts to promote Batman and Robin and Vince Vaughn.
#3. Gratuitous Shirtlessness
If you were to ask the average McConaughey fan (and I'm using the loosest definition of the word fan, as in "someone who's watched him in enough movies to know what he does in them") to describe him in one word, that word would probably be "shirtless".
It's become so expected that he take his shirt off in every movie that some movies have to come up with the strangest excuses. In romantic comedies, he takes his shirt off to seduce women, which would be really weird in real life but sure, whatever, that's the formula. In EDtv, he takes off his shirt to brush his teeth. In Reign of Fire, he takes off his shirt before leaping into a dragon's mouth to be eaten, presumably because he is a really considerate meal.
I would have dropped the axe first in that case, but whatever, I guess that character is considerate, not bright.
They even managed to get his shirt off in Frailty, a taut psychological thriller exploring the depths of human nature, where he essentially played a narrator telling the whole story in childhood flashbacks at a police station. Despite the challenge, they found one scene where he was home alone, and had him tear that nasty old shirt off so he could have a phone conversation. If that wasn't enough, they had the kid that played him in the flashbacks take his shirt off too.
Now, a man's fine pecs are a nice thing to look at, but if you're going to imply your chest is so great that you need to lose your shirt in every movie and every photo taken of you, it had better be an exceptional chest, with an actual Michelangelo fresco across it or maybe at least a built-in HD screen or something else really cool. It is really anticlimactic when he pulls it off and all you see is that he works out sometimes. Big whoop.
There's a misconception that women will go to the theater just to see his shirt off, which can turn out to be a costly mistake. As Exhibit A, I present Surfer, Dude, a film apparently as dumb as it sounds, which only got distribution in 69 theaters because no one wanted to touch that piece of shit even though his shirt was off the entire movie. Surfer, Dude seemed like nothing more than a really obvious ploy based on how photos that happened to "catch him" out "surfing" seem to circulate really well on the Web. I admit women can be dumb about these things (see aforementioned photos). But not that dumb.
Meanwhile, Korean recording sensation Rain shows how a pro does chest overexposure: in a hilariously overdramatic way that provides both ironic and unironic entertainment to all. He tears off shirts so frequently in concerts that he has a vast supply of identical shirts with convenient pre-tears in the collar, which he rips off like he's unveiling Hyundai's next generation concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show. Plus, he actually has a nice face to go with it.
If you're going to keep taking your shirt off, you might as well pull out all the stops. Don't half-assedly pull this "oh my shirt fell off" casual shit, acting like it's so awesome it speaks for itself. Start by putting some Christmas lights around it or something and go from there.
