Definitely Jerome Bel's "Véronique Doisneau" sould be left into oblivion...(saw some of ir recently...Oh, God.. )
Sorry, but I am going to disagree strongly here with what seems a universal opinion on BT. I like this piece on so many levels: formal, because it makes us pay attention to parts of the structure of a dance that occur while Le Grand Star is performing (this kind of taking apart is something music has done for years, btw); emotional, b/c it makes us consider the life of a corps dancer--who in the French system is fixed in status. I think we have more than enough opportunities to watch soloists do their thing in ways that raise our pulse; it's poignant and revealing to have a corps dancer's role--and life--explicated in a way that makes us think.

I asked before and got some help and have done some reading since. The temp in my mash jumped from 175 to about 195 after I put the lid back on. How much damage did I do? Some things I've read since suggest that it may be okay since the density of the grain(and, in this case, about 8lbs of cooked pumpkin) may have kept the center mass of the mash somewhat insulated. Opinions? There were some spices(cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne) added so it may mask any tannins.
@dana's answer is full of good info. I'd only make one change: if I were you, I would just wait it out and see what happens. It's possible the beer is ruined, it's possible it's the best beer ever, but it's probably somewhere in between.
Tasting the final beer will be an excellent learning experience, if nothing else. Learning from our mistakes is just as important as making great beer, in my experience.
If you measured 190 F at any location in your Tun, I would expect the average temp to exceed 170 F. Pumpkin is mostly water and I don't see it as a significant insulator.
Enzymes are little chemical keys that convert the starch in you pumpkins and grain into sugars that the yeast can consume. There are several families of enzymes and each can only tolerate a certain amount of heat before they denature, or fall apart. Once they denature they cannot be recovered.
All enzymes used in brewing denature at about 170 F. If you held your mash above that temperature for any length of time your enzymes denatured without an opportunity to convert the starch into sugar.
Without this important step, your wort will be composed of mainly starch. I would expect a very high final gravity, and a very cloudy beer.
I hate to say it, but you won't be able to drink this beer.
EDIT: I'm changing my recommendation, if you don't need the equipment to keep brewing. You should definitely ferment this out and see what happens. If you do this, please update the question so we can all learn from your experience.
P.S. - I think there might be a salvage technique you could apply if this ever happens again. IF you accidentally kill off the enzymes, you should cool the mash back down to an appropriate temp (say 145 F) and add Beano. Beano has the necesary enzymes for this job. Periodically perform an iodine test to measure your conversion. When the mash has converted "mash out" or raise the the temp above 170 again to denature the Beano. (Don't skip the last step or the beano will never quit, and you'll have a super dry beer)
I have done the same thing and my home brew man said put in a kumara. I have fermented my out and am hoping to try it in a few week see how bad it really is

Let $R$ be the group ring $\mathbb C[C_7],$ where $C_7=\{1,g,\ldots,g^6\}$ is a cyclic group. I would like to prove that
$$\mathbb C[C_7]\cong\bigoplus_{i=1}^7\mathbb C.$$
I was thinking that I could use the following theorem:
If $R$ is a commutative unital ring and $\{e_i\}_{i=1}^n$ are orthogonal idempotents in $R$, such that $\sum_{i=1}^ne_i=1,$ then $$R\cong\bigoplus_{i=1}^ne_iR.$$
That would mean I have to find seven orthogonal idempotents $\{e_i\}_{i=1}^7$ with
such that $e_i R\cong \mathbb C.$
Is this the right way to do it? I've managed to find one idempotent $e\in R$ such that $eR = e\mathbb C.$ That is, I take
$$e=\frac 17 (1+g+\cdots+g^6).$$
I have
$$e^2=\frac 17 \cdot \frac 17(1+g+\cdots+g^6)(1+g+\cdots+g^6)=\frac 17\cdot \frac 17\cdot 7(1+g+\cdots+g^6)=e,$$
so $e$ is idempotent. For $\sum_{i=0}^6 r_ig^i\in R$, I have
$$ \begin{eqnarray} e\sum_{i=0}^6 r_ig^i&=&\frac 17(1+g+\cdots+g^6)(r_0+r_1g+\cdots+r_6g^6)\\ &=&\frac 17(r_0+r_1g+\cdots+r_6g^6\\ &\,& \;\;\,+r_6+r_0g+\cdots+r_5g^6 \\ &\,& \;\;\,\vdots\\ &\,& \;\;\,+r_1+r_2g+\cdots+r_0g^6)\\ &=&e\sum_{i=0}^6 r_i\in e\mathbb C, \end{eqnarray} $$ (where $\mathbb C$ denotes the natural copy of the field $\mathbb C$ contained in $R$). Every element of $e\mathbb C$ can be written as $e\sum_{i=0}^6 r_i$, so $eR=e\mathbb C.$
But I need $eR\cong \mathbb C.$ $e\mathbb C$ is not isomorphic to $\mathbb C,$ is it? The former doesn't have a unity, right?
But even if I'm missing something very simple here and $eR\cong \mathbb C,$ then I still don't have seven idempotents -- just the one. Could you please help me with this?

Locoregional Failure of Post-Mastectomy Patients Who Had 1-3 Positive Axillary Lymph Nodes without Adjuvant Radiotherapy
Ryan Smith, MD
University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
Last Modified: November 6, 2001
Presenter: C. Cheng
Presenter's Affiliation: Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center
Type of Session: Scientific
Materials and
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
As stated previously, there is no consensus on standard of treatment (adjuvant radiotherapy or not) for post-mastectomy patients with 1-3 positive lymph nodes. This presentation points out a fairly significant LRR rate in this group of patients. Also, in these patients that do develop LRR, their risk of developing distant metastases and risk of death from breast cancer seems to be much higher. Whether this is from tumor seeding or simply points to the aggressiveness of disease in these patients is unknown. In this presentation, a number of risk factors were identified which may indicate a higher risk of recurrence. While these may hold, the number of patients with these various risk factors are small (e.g., patients age <40 (20 patients)). Therefore, these risk factors should not be strictly adhered to until they are verified by a larger, prospective study. This data, again, should compel physicians to enroll patients in a newly opening intergroup study randomizing postmastectomy patients with 1-3 lymph nodes to +/- adjuvant radiation.

I ask this because I am really annoyed by the behavior on superuser. I am a guy with questions, and I love technical details. If I have a problem I want not only to solve my problem, but to understand the underlying details on why the problem happens in the first place. I am curious, and my knowledge arises from this.
Now, the assumption is that SO/SU are for these kind of question: Hard questions that ask for the gory details, that are for technical people, those who sit on their attributes how big they are (and I am sure we are all well endowed, but in different fields). I don't necessarily expect a helpdesk, where I have a problem, and I get an answer that solves my problem, and that's it. I want to know more.
It appears that the first kind of questions is frowned upon on SuperUser. Specifically, I am having a problem with a printer, I asked why printers still suck, explaining my specific problem. My question is not a request for opinions. It's a request for technical details on why these things still happen. I'm not asking opinions, I'm not asking discussion. I am asking a complete, in-depth explanation why these problems still occur.
Now, you may counter with the FAQ, that the question should be specific (in my opinion it is), reasonably scoped (ok, it may open a can of worms, but I don't expect it... I expect the problem being in the nature of USB, the drivers, or the protocol). Fair enough. So, the question of this meta post is: where should I ask questions such as this? Because this tendency of SO/SE to pretend only to be a helpdesk is, in my opinion, damaging the qualitative and "in-depthness" level of notions that travel on it.
And if I attacked your business model, I apologize.

I am developing an iPhone application that supports AirPlay using MPMoviePlayerController. But, I need to display this AirPlay button in my custom-view. So, I took MPVolumeView and added it to my custom view; removed all the subviews from MPVolumeView except AirPlay button.
The problem is: 1) Can I change the frame of Volume view so that it fits in corner of my custom view with the size of AirPlay button? I know it is possible to handle this programmatically; Is it valid to do like this? The link Customize the Airplay button's appearance mentions that we should not change shape, position of AirPlay button.
2) I need to set the customized image to AirPlay button so that it matches my Custom View aesthetically. How do I do this?
3) Whenever device with AirPlay is not present, AirPlay button just disappears from MPVolumeView. Is there any notification available when button disappears? I need to adjust my custom view when AirPlay button is not present Is there any method to identify if AirPlay button is present or not? The MPVolumeView subviews array has this button and it is not in hidden state even if it is not displayed in MPVolumeView.
Thanks and Regards, Deepa

I know this may be a simple question but I am a total beginner at Wordpress coding and PHP. I am looking to embed five attachments to each post on my site, so I know it has got to do with inserting something into single.php or loop.php. So let's say I have 8 or 10 photos attached to a post, I want the single post page to show 5 of those photos and have a link to the 'gallery'/attachment.php page. Something like what this website does on this page, the 6 photos at the end of the post entry (http://www.celebuzz.com/2011-05-27/kim-kardashian-kris-humphries-makes-first-post-engagement-public-appearance-photos/)
I have tried using the wordpress [gallery] insert but all it does is show all the pictures and I don't want to use a plugin because I feel that it is overkill and all it needs is some code to call up 5 attached photos. Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance

This is a long-term follow-up of a landmark study by the West Japan Lung Cancer Group (WJLCG) directly comparing concurrent chemoradiation to sequential chemoradiation for patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients in both arms of the study received two courses of MVP (Cisplatin, Vindesine, and Mitomycin) and 56Gy of thoracic radiotherapy. The radiotherapy was delivered as a continuous course in the sequential arm of the trial but as a split-course in the concurrent arm with a 10-day break after the first 28Gy.
The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) is expected to report a 3-arm study comparing concurrent conventionally fractionated chemoradiation Vs concurrent hyperfractionated chemoradiation Vs sequential chemoradiation in the year 2000. In this trial, the thoracic radiotherapy dose was 63Gy in a continuous course and chemotherapy was cisplatin/vinblastine. This regimen is considered more conventional by US standards.
From the conclusions of these two trials, hopefully we will be able to reach a consensus regarding optimal treatment for selected patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.

- Carefully cut around the top of each tomato to make a hole 2in (5cm) in diameter. Using a teaspoon, remove the insides, ensuring you leave a wall at least 1/2in (1cm) thick. Discard the flesh and set the tomato shells aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan, add the onions, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until starting to soften. Add the okra and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, and pine nuts. Add the rice, season with the pepper, then stir to combine and add the stock.
- Cook for 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the parsley and thyme, and remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Stuff the tomatoes evenly with the rice mixture. Place them in a deep baking dish, packing them in fairly tightly. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil, sprinkle with the caraway seeds, if using, and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.

I have purchased a HP Ultrabook ENVY-4 1002TX with 500GB HDD +32GB SSD. It came preinstalled with Windows 7. I tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 through a USB stick. It boots up ok, but during installation it could not detect the 500GB disk. Before starting the installation I shrunk the partion and made an empty partition using Windows disk management. Please help.
I have exactly the same problem with a new HP ENVY-4. I have tried all the suggested 'cures' above.
The original HP partitioning is (roughly)
My 'best guess' is that for some (unknown?!) reason HP has set up the laptop disk and controller using "FakeRaid" - which makes no sense to me since there isn't a duplicate disk with 500 GB to "mirror" the hard drive to.
I found this community reference for installing Ubuntu to a "fake raid" device but note that it doesn't cover Ubuntu 12.04 AND the instructions seem really complicated AS WELL AS being different for every version of system referred to (as well as hardware setup?):
In short I tried digging into this but quickly was over my head and caused my computer to jump into RESTORE mode - which (in an hour or so) returned it to the "store bought" configuration.
I don't understand why the manufacturer created this mess to start with.
I don't understand why, since GParted can understand the hardware, partition it, etc. that (by now !!) the installer hasn't had this capability added to it.
OK, there is a lot I don't understand. Among them is how to follow the community instructions to successfully install Ubuntu 12.04 on my new laptop.
I miss my old Sony, on which comfortably ran Ubuntu for many years. I thought problems like this were behind Linux as the community has grown and large corporations have begun adding support for Linux. I guess I was wrong about this too.
I was, eventually, able to successfully install Ubuntu on my HP Envy-4, but in the process of getting there (rebuilding Windows 7 several times) I had damaged Win7 RECOVERY partition - so it is not dual-boot with Win7, but it is dual-boot with other Linux distributions.
I documented this (last) process in a .pdf which I put up on Dropbox for access.
Hopefully it will provide some information that will help for others who are dealing with the challenge of installing Ubuntu on the Envy-4 ultrabook.
I have a soution. In Hp laptops BIOS having options that prevents writing on HDD. ubuntu can not detect your HDD because BIOS prevents hides it.
Go to BIOS settings choose Hard disk settings in your notebooks. Diable Prevention of HDD.
Run ubuntu setup, You will be able to detect your HDD.
I successfully setup a dual boot Windows 7/Ubuntu on an HP envy 4 yesterday. Here are my steps:
Remove fake raid
HP sets up a (pretty useless) fake raid between the two drives (500GB hard drive and 32GB SSD). You need to get rid of this as a first step:
Free some space
While you're on Windows 7, fire up the disk utility and resize the "OS" partition (which is the biggest one, around 400GB). In my case, I freed 320G and left about 120GB for Windows.
Create new partitions
Now comes the tricky part. HP sets up 4 primary partitions in the hard drive (the 500GB one), which makes it not possible to create new partitions unless you delete one (the limit is 4 primary partitions). Some people on Windows 7 are having the same issue to create a data partition.
Fortunately for us, HP doesn't make use of the full capacity of the 32GB SSD. They only set up a 4GB partition to use as cache for Windows 7 (to ease suspend if I understood correctly). We will use that space to back up the recovery partition for now, and we will use it to install the OS later, making it a very fast setup.
Here are the steps I followed:
Install Ubuntu
Use the "other" (advanced) partitioning mode. Select
Anup, Did you format the "shrunk" partition?
Try to install using an .iso image burned to a cd/dvd.
Perhaps you can try to run the Gparted utility that is packed with the Ubuntu live cd and see the format of your hard disk.
Hope this helps.
When installing ubuntu you can chosse the option "SOMETHING ELSE" this will open the ubuntu partition editor "gparted". You then need 3 partitions 1 about 30 to 50 gig mounted on / formatted as EXT4 another about 5 gig as a "LINUX SWAP" partition an finally format any free space as EXT4 and mount as /home make sure you format all these partitions but not your windows ones obviusly and you cant format your swap.
This is the best set up as if you have any problems you can re install ubuntu to / and save all your file in /home to do this just tick the format box for the / partition and leave the rest as is.
There are many tutorials for this online if you dont understand just search "best way to prtition a hdd for ubuntu".
Hope this solves your problem.
Just make an empty partition (make sure it says "unallocated space" in Windows's Disk Management utility), then boot Ubuntu from an USB or CD, doesn't matter, and just chose Install along side Windows. Ubuntu will use the unallocated space to install Ubuntu and you will dual boot Ubuntu with Windows.
When installing first go to try ubuntu live from the CD or the USB.
Open a terminal and enter the command
You can know which is the SSD by typing
After this your installer should be able to find all the necessary drives.

Some welcome rain has fallen on western Kentucky, which is still experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions.
National Weather Service forecaster Kelley Hooper told The Paducah Sun that the rain gauge at Lake Barkley Dam recorded 1.2 inches of rainfall in Sunday's thunderstorms. No damage was reported in the region, although a tornado watch was posted for Sunday afternoon.
The weather service said western Kentucky is nearly 19 inches behind in rainfall for the year. At Paducah, records show only 27 inches of precipitation since January.
The U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook issued by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration shows western Kentucky as one of only a few regions where drought conditions are likely to improve through February.

5 Things You Do Every Day That Are Actually Addictions
#2. Tanning
It's possible you know (and maybe hate) at least one person who describes herself as a "tanning addict." When someone deliberately wears a tag like that, it tends to come off as a desperate "Look at me!" more than anything else. Let's face it: Suntans are cool and all, but who in their right mind could be addicted to intentionally exposing the largest organ in the entire human body to damaging, cancer-causing radiation?
We did specify "right mind."
Hell, after the total war we waged against the ozone layer in the '80s, it's a miracle we don't explode like microwaved hot dogs every time we make contact with sunlight. And don't even start with the beaches or solariums -- indoor tanning is just as bad, if not worse. So why would any sane person continue to actively tan, let alone bullshit us about being addicted to it?
The Addiction:
Because it actually gets you high, that's why.
Ah, the ol' bake-and-bake.
Tanning meets all the criteria for a drug that creates psychological addiction. The mechanism isn't much different from spicy foods -- in the process of frying themselves, a frequent tanner experiences a release of those same beta-endorphins, the morphine-like opioids that your brain creates to numb pain and deal with stress, presumably because it thinks that your body is currently in the process of being slowly grilled to a crisp. And just like with regular morphine, you can get addicted to the pleasurable sensation.
Actually, you know what? Let's ditch the morphine comparison completely, because it turns out tanning beta-endorphins can be up to 80 times more powerful than the big M. Hell, tanning can even create the physical sort of dependency regular drug users know and love, complete with withdrawal symptoms that can easily be every bit as severe as those of heroin.
Heroin: The official yardstick of all addiction.
To study the effects, or maybe just because they wanted to jerk people around, researchers gave frequent tanners and occasional tanners a drug that blocked their opioid receptors, negating the high they are able to get from narcotics. Then they turned the subjects loose in a tanning salon. The occasional tanners experienced no ill effects, but the frequent tanners soon developed nausea and jitteriness so severe some of them actually had to drop out of the test.
#1. Chewing Ice
The next time a bunch of you get together at restaurant, start watching after everyone has finished their drinks. Most people will consider the ice that remains to be a sort of drink of last resort if they still have food left but can't get a refill.
It's also great for chucking at slow waiters.
But then there's the people who start eating their ice, crunching through it as if they've been draining their Coke just to get to it. It's such a common habit that restaurant ice machines are specially designed to create ice that's fun or easy to chew. And yes, people get hooked on it.
Imagine this piled up on Tony Montana's desk.
The Addiction:
Ice chewing, or pagophagia, is a subset of a larger disorder known as pica, which causes people to crave things with no nutritional value (including much rarer and weirder compulsions like dirt, paper, chalk or even feces). Ice chewing specifically usually indicates iron deficiency, and chewers may actually be subconsciously trying to get the nutrients they're lacking from the water. This is further evidenced by the fact that ice actually tastes better to an anemic person, presumably because the brain is jonesing for a fix of that sweet, sweet Fe.
"You can just toss those beers out."
And here's the thing with ice chewing: it's a big, widespread thing. People have been munching on frozen water from at least the 17th century, and since the habit has no actual downside apart from brainfreeze and funny looks from other people, it tends to be for life.
Of course, not all ice chewers are in it out of habit or misplaced iron deficiency. Some do it for the kicks. And, as is the case for every single fetish you can imagine (and many, many, many that you really shouldn't), there is a home for those people on the Internet.

Good morning, lovelies. I hope you all had a perfectly splendid weekend. I found myself busy, busy, busy what with all the planning that I've been doing for the upcoming shoot I'm styling for Kate Spade. So exciting and fun, but goodness - it sure has been a lot of work. But it's the fun sort of work. The work you want to do. God, I love my job.
bridal party | photo by thenichols, wedding cake | photo by alante photography, cake by honey crumb cake studio via style unveiled, colored bottles | photo by best photography via love and lavender, centerpiece | photo by feather and twine photography via the lovely find
So anyways, back to this color story of mine. Shades of lavender and mint? What do you think? Are you liking the way these colors go together? I, for one, think that this blend of cool colors makes for the perfect Spring and Summer wedding palette.

Prince Saud: Iran needs to be more forthcoming on its nuclear program
February 13, 2013
Speaking at a press conference in Riyadh yesterday, Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal criticized Iran's lack of cooperation with the international community in resolving its nuclear crisis. During a joint appearance with Austrian Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Dr. Michael Spindelegger, the Saudi Foreign Minister stated, "The Iranian nuclear file was among the topics that was discussed in our meeting today, especially in light of the lack of response by Iran to diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving this crisis peacefully and removing the doubts that surround it to ensure the peaceful use of the program in accordance with the criteria and procedures of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and under its supervision."
Asked about the possibility of reaching a settlement between Iran and the international community regarding the former's uranium enrichment, Prince Saud responded, "It is natural and necessary to reach a deal between Iran and the international community. However, Iran should abide by the international rules in force, notably on increasing its nuclear arsenal in the region." He pointed out, "Iran did say that it was pursuing a peaceful path, but actually it was working on manufacturing an atomic bomb . . . If that was its intention, then it breached the international community's rules and U.N. laws and resolutions."
The ideal solution to the problem, Prince Saud argued, is to create a Middle East free of nuclear weapons. He reaffirmed the Kingdom's position against nuclear arms proliferation, expressing concern that the acquisition of such weapons by any country could create a domino effect. Relating this stance to Iran, the Foreign Minister explained, "We are seeking neither a conciliation nor a settlement between Iran and any entity that wants to negotiate with Iran. Instead, we are seeking a solution to evade any increase in nuclear weapons in the Middle East. We would like to see a nuclear-free Middle East, as this is the policy we are pursuing."

HistoryEvent - new constructor
Is there a good reason why HistoryEvent doesn't contain a constructor that accepts a token? Isn't the ability to supply a token the primary use of a HistoryEvent? Or am I just way off base on this?

1932 Chevy Coupe and 1951 Ford Tudor - Readers' RodsWritten by on June 1, 2010
George Rogers
Wind Gap, Pennsylvania
1932 Chevy Coupe
What's a hot rod without a bunch of homemade modifications and a whole load of character? Add the "alternative" element (see also: not a Ford, abbreviated rear fenders, Moon discs, big ol' IFS setup, bloodhound rake, and primer from before primer was cool) and you've got something as original as George Rogers' Chevy coupe. The 366ci Olds engine is wearing a single four-barrel in the photo, but now runs three deuces. The trans is a Turbo 400 and the Chrysler rear has 3.23:1 gears with a Posi. "I wanted you to see a hot rod that was 100 percent homebuilt. My car was born a hot rod in the early '60s and went through a lot of changes, but it's been like this since 1976. I still have the oil in my veins that I've had since 1958 when I was reading mags that were the size of a TV Guide."
Bob Malinowski
Rocky Point, New York
1951 Ford Tudor
"I have owned this car since I was a young lad of 15 in 1964. Starting with a hot Flattie, the car now has a stroker SBC. I converted it to Chevy power following a 'how-to' article in the Jan. '68 issue of Rod & Custom. Though it has a four-speed and 9-inch, the basic setup is from that article and still works fine. I also learned how to weld my own headers by following Tom McMullen's article in the Oct. '65 issue. The hood scoop is an oil cooler vent off a World War II bomber. I tell the import crowd, 'That scoop might've bombed Tokyo!' Built to '66 NHRA D/Gas specs and to current NHRA 11-second specs, the car is also fully street-legal, and has been driven and raced continually. Its best e.t. is 12.27 seconds. These days, I attend most nostalgia races in the Northeast. Not many guys have the car they drove to high school, or made their first quarter-mile pass in, but I do."

Have you ever wanted to be an action movie star blasting your way through a cheesy '80s film that features dinosaurs shooting laser beams from their eyes? Of course you have! Here's your chance, with the new arcade hit Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a goofy and neon-drenched first-person shooter now available for download from the Xbox Store.
Add Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon to your queue here (1200 Microsoft Points)
First off, it's important to note that this is not an expansion or add-on for Far Cry 3. This is a completely separate, standalone adventure. You don't need Far Cry 3 to play this game. Heck, you don't need to have ever played Far Cry 3 to jump right in and start having fun.
Welcome to the Party, Pal
Imagine all your favorite '80s action movies mashed into one, from Escape from New York to RoboCop to Predator and everything in between, and you get an idea of what to expect. A more apt analogy might be to call Blood Dragon the Airplane! of video games, as the developers at Ubisoft Montreal just throw every offbeat gag and insider joke at the wall and see what sticks.
"Geez, that sounds kind of stupid," you may be thinking. Well, it is stupid – it's deliriously stupid. It's also hilarious and completely over the top. You play as Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt, a wisecracking and heavily armed bionic antihero fighting against an army of cyborgs and wandering blood dragons (the giant fluorescent mutant lizards of the title). Colt is voiced by veteran actor Michael Biehn, no stranger to action movies himself (The Terminator, Aliens and many more).
Give Me Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle
The game itself is a simplified version of its older brother Far Cry 3. You're still stranded on an open-world island (although it's much smaller than Far Cry 3's sprawling environs), spending your time liberating garrisons, rescuing damsels in distress, and unlocking side missions like hunting.
The side missions give you money and weapon upgrades, but they're not really needed, as you have almost every weapon available from the get-go. Collect the VHS tapes, TV sets and research notes all strewn about the island for Cyber Points that deliver upgrades.
I Ain't Got No Time to Bleed
The story, such as it is, develops through a series of eight-bit era comic book-style cutscenes. In the dystopian future of 2007, the world has been ravaged by nuclear war and it's up to Rex to save the world.
Beneath it all, however, this is a very solid shooter created with the Far Cry 3 engine. The visuals are almost hallucinogenic, with a vivid color palate and a neon-tinged landscape. The animal attacks (generated dynamically) can really give you a scare when you're cruising through the jungle.
Say Hello to my Little Friend
So, expect lots of things blowing up (explosive-tipped sniper bullets? Yes please!) and frantic mini-gun battles. Throw in a great '80s soundtrack and you're got yourself one most excellent adventure. The blood dragons, however, really are the stars of the show. These giant day-glow mutant lizards shoot lasers from their eyeballs and seem almost impossible to kill at first. After a few weapon upgrades the going gets easier, and soon you'll find yourself luring the blood dragons into the garrisons to spring an explosive surprise on them.
The campaign takes about 10 hours or so to complete, although your mileage will vary with how much time you spend exploring. You can buy maps that show you where everything is hidden, so this game expects you to discover every last treasure. It's only 1200 Microsoft Points, but this downloadable game could easily have been a full retail title. In fact, I'd even suggest it as an early candidate for Arcade Game of the Year.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is selling like crazy on Xbox Live, and there are even some rumors swirling around the innerwebs about a possible sequel. If you're looking for an offbeat shooter with a real (albeit sophomoric) sense of humor. set in vivid environments and filled with mutant monsters and lots of different guns, you can't go wrong with this one.

As stated, pain is an extremely prevalent symptom in cancer patients and episodes of breakthrough pain are very common. This study hoped to report on the characteristics of these episodes, for which it was successful. There were obvious limitations. All patients were evaluated in the pain clinic and therefore likely had difficult to manage pain. Also, the clinician could easily introduce bias and the questionnaire method of data collection is less than optimal. However, much information can be gained form this report. The most applicable to the clinical physician is the quick onset and quick dissipation of pain. This indicates that the rescue treatment of these episodes needs to be extremely quick in onset to be efficacious. Also, a fair number of episodes were neuropathic in nature, indicating that anti-convulsants or anti-depressants may be better suited to treat patients with this specific pain syndrome. The fact that 96% of the episodes were related to either the tumor itself or from the treatment of the disease indicates that physicians need to continually be aware of the possibility of breakthrough pain episodes and that these episodes need to be managed aggressively, so that the cancer patient's quality of life is optimized.

Anyone excited for winter?
As much as I love summer being a very active snowboarder I can't wait for winter. Hopefully it's a good winter this year. Anyone have any good suggestions for places to go?
26 Answers answer
I'm more of a fall person.
If my lake freezes this year, I'll be happy. It didn't last year and I'm in metro Detroit.
Brace yourselves...
I like winter better than summer. Being cold is so much easier to deal with than being hot.
Fall is my favorite though, light jacket weather is where it's at.
'm looking forward to snow this year, I bought my first snow-blower last spring so I'm really looking forward to using it on the first big snowfall!
Definitely looking forward to winter. I love it when it gets down to 70 in the middle of the afternoon. What's snow?
@thedogma: fall is when the leaves fall. raking leaves sucks.
winter is good when i don't have to drive in snow. summer is good because of long days and being able to drive anywhere across the country without having to remember to bring chains.
@thedogma: I call that "sweaters and shorts" weather. The only difference is that is doesn't happen in Fall for me, it's more like Dec-Jan. You're right, though. Light jacket/sweaters and shorts weather is the best.
I love fall. Fall is my favorite. Maybe because my allergies aren't as severe in the fall as they are in the spring. Maybe it's because the cold fronts aren't as severe in the fall as they are in the spring.
Winter sucks. I can handle cold, but the lack of daylight and the fact that I get to work in the dark and I leave in the dark really irritates me. I spend about 3 months of my life each year devoid of sunlight.
What is this winter you speak of? As I type this it is 100 degrees and has been 100+ every day in September. I still spend most of the winter season in shorts/T-shirts.
@dw1771: Check the forecast. It's about 105 here now, but on Saturday it's gonna drop 20-25 degrees. May be the same for you.
@rprebel: I agree. I love that type of weather. Sweater and shorts or jeans and a t-shirt. Can't beat it. Sadly we don't get a lot of that where I am, but I remember it fondly from growing up in Michigan.
yes. football.
I hate it -- I used to motorcycle 365 and now that I live in Minnesota the bike goes in the garage until the spring. Dealing with massive snowfall is a drag, although it's certainly pretty to look at if I don't have to shovel or drive in it.
We plan on doing snowshoeing this winter, hopefully taking up a cold weather hobby will lessen my anxiety about the days getting colder and the nights getting longer. Until then, bleh.
Yes. My Schweddy Balls are due for a reprieve.
Looking forward to winter - but winter in lower Alabama isn't the same...lukewarm would be a good explanation.
No. I'm a summer person, I love the heat. I'd rather take a week of 100 degree days vs. a week of 10 or 0 degree days. You CAN cool off outside, water down, get in shade, jump in the river, drink a cold beer, etc. There is no warming up fast in the winter. I can't go someplace outside in the winter and warm up. I hate not being able to use my fingers, gloves kill all feeling.
But that being said, if it's going to be cold, there'd better be snow. All over, covering everything, in a nice blanket of white. And it stays white, if it's cold enough. A nice beautiful white, blanketing everything.
I'm not as excited about winter as I am about the end of summer.
In south Florida, there is no winter. Just hot summer and not as hot summer.
I'm very excited for winter, I love the snow! I also ski so I'm looking forward to that, especially after the crappy winter we had last year. And the cold will refreshing after this summer.
This summer was a total washout with mosquitoes. Couldn't be outside without being bit, unless you put bug spray on.
I got 6 or more bites a day.
I always loved fall. Hope it is a good one.
Winter....dog LOVES snow, but I have to shovel. It better not be a bad winter.
Fall is my favorite season by far.
Winter, Spring and Summer all have advantages and disadvantages that mostly break even within a given season, though I'd say that Spring slightly edges out Winter and Summer for second place and the last two are tied for third.
The cold of Winter isn't really a problem for me; dealing with more than an inch or two of snow in NY City is annoying after about the first seventeen minutes, but at least the humidity is low or a non-issue.
I believe you're also in (or around) NYC, @dontwantaname... the mosquitos are frakking annoying. First year I remember having to fight them (plural) in my car on a daily basis.
@baqui63: I'm 2 miles from Queens. So far today, 3 bites.
Bring on the Fall!
No, I'm not.

does anyone use this kind of configuration: Nodal Ninja 3 + D200 + Sigma 10mm Fisheye ?
does anyone know the proper set up?
buying Sigma 10mm I didn't thought that this could be an exotic rather setup,
there's a lot information on Nikkor 10.5mm and almost none on the Sigma

The Bluestem Middle School Cubs were able to defeat the Belle Plaine Dragons Thursday night by a score of 32-16.
The Cubs defense set the tone early in the 2nd quarter.
The Dragons used the entire first quarter to drive the ball down to within scoring distance. That was when the Cub's defense stiffened.
The Dragons had eight plays within the ten-yard line including three from the six inch line. They were held out by the cub's defense.
Bluestem then responding by driving the ball down the field until Dakota Clift was able to break loose and score a touchdown.
A quick three and out gave the ball back to the cubs.
Clay Hogoboom then connected with Garet Johnson for a long touchdown.
After a forced fumble and recovery Westin Scott threw a half-back pass to Dakota Clift for a score of 24-0 going into half-time.
The second half began as a stalemate until Westin Scott was able to get into the end zone one more time for the Cubs. A couple of late touchdowns by Belle Plaine made the final score 32-16.

Among the new bottom bracket standards in the bike industry is BB86. It offers frame designers a little more room for new designs in seat/down tubes and chainstays. Where a typical road bike has a 68 or 70mm bottom bracket shell width, a BB86 equipped bike has a shell that measures 86.5mm wide. A BB86 shell lacks internal threads and has a 41mm inside diameter.
This Shimano Dura Ace BB86 Bottom Bracket Assembly is made to press right into your bike. It will mate your Shimano HollowTech crankset to any frame equipped with a BB86 bottom bracket shell. Frames that use BB86 bottom brackets include bikes from Scott, Giant, and plenty of others. This bottom bracket comes with two steel cartridge bearings pressed into composite cups. The cups increase the outside diameter of the assembly to 41mm to match the i.d. of the frame's bottom bracket shell. There is a 1.75mm thick outer lip that provides a positive stop for the cups when you press them into place. Shimano includes their standard plastic o-ringed inner sleeve to protect against water damage should it find a way inside your frame. It uses black plastic dust shields that snap into the inner race of each bearing.

There isn't much to say about a well functioning bottom bracket, and there shouldn't be. This works as designed with no complaints.
smooth, no issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's really an industry standard. This thing works great and no problems at all
smooth and maintenance free
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Smooth and maintenance free, isn't that what we want out of a BB? it is for my and after a summer of commuting, training, racing, I don't even have to think about it, it's always dependable.

On Friday, May 9, the University of Colorado Boulder honored candidates for 5,891 degrees at the annual campus spring commencement ceremony at Folsom Field.
Cool weather didn't dampen graduate's spirits as they celebrated this milestone in their academic careers.
Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano called upon the graduates to recognize their education as a powerful way to bring change in their lives.
"With your education you have given yourself the power to transform yourself and the world," he said. He later continued, "For each of you, your growth has been personal – unique to you. But for all of you, it has prepared you for a life of career and contribution in a global society."
Also honored by the University of Colorado Board of Regents during the ceremony were Lanis Pinchuk and Michael Wirth.
Pinchuk received an honorary Doctor of Science degree in recognition of his decades of service to CU-Boulder. Wirth received the University Medal recognizing his advocacy of CU-Boulder and his personal dedication to furthering the goals of the university's students and programs.
Eric Stough, the producer/animation director of the popular animated television series "South Park," was the keynote speaker for the ceremony. Stough graduated from CU-Boulder with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film studies in 1995.
He called upon the graduates to celebrate the full range of human emotion, and find balance in their lives.
"Stay in balance and keep your foundation strong," he said. "We need you. Your diploma is an inanimate object, so be the animator and bring it to life."

Carisbrooke Castle- A History Fan's Dream Day Trip Destination!
If your idea of the perfect cottage holiday includes exploring ancient Saxon castles, a trip to Carisbrooke Castle should be at the top of your to-do list. There's been a fortress here since the 11th century, with the stone castle that stands today being only a few decades younger than its original wooden counterpart! Negotiate the historic castle ramparts which offer beautiful views over the surrounding landscape, before delving into the murky depths of the stockade to search for the cell of Charles I, who was incarcerated in Carisbrooke under the charge of high treason. Then, descend into the Edwardian-inspired garden, and take a tranquil walk among the colourful themed flower borders, tracing the steps of Princess Beatrice who lived in the governor's house at Carisbrooke in 1912. Can you think of a more charming way to spend an afternoon on your cottage holiday in the Isle of Wight?

Dr. Brett's Coaching Insights for Traders - Volume One
* If you're frustrated, figure out which needs of yours aren't being met and set yourself up for situations that meet some of those needs. The markets can't always meet your needs; make sure you have a life. It is very expensive to act out those unmet needs in markets.
* Knowing your past patterns won't, in itself, prevent you from repeating them, but not knowing them will almost surely guarantee that you'll fall into old traps. The first step in change is catching yourself in the act of repeating an unwanted pattern.
* What percentage of your trades are accompanied by very strong conviction, where everything comes together, makes sense, and you see markets well? Why are you trading when you lack that conviction?
* How, specifically, has your trading evolved in the last year? Real evolution comes from adding to strengths, not just reducing mistakes.
* What tangible evidence do you have in your P/L that you're evolving? If you're not consistent in implementing a change, that change hasn't truly become part of you. Making changes is easy; sustaining them is the key to success.
* If you want to do differently, think differently. If you want to think differently, perceive differently. If you want to perceive differently, shift the physical and emotional state that you are in. All change starts with a personal gear shift. Stay in the same life gear and you will get the same life results.
* Life goals start with today's goals. Life achievement starts with today's accomplishments.
* There are times, however fleeting, in which you are close to your ideals. Hang onto those and figure out how they occurred: there is a positive pattern worth capturing.
* Many people will be there when you're down. A true friend will share your dreams and accomplishments. Those that are there for you when you're down and not for your achievements are not friends. Ever.
* Change is a race against inertia: as with rockets, it takes a certain thrust to overcome the pull of gravity. Without thrust and fuel in the tank, we inevitably return to earth.
* If you have a hero in life, there, somewhere, is a hero within. Success and fulfillment comes from being that hero inside.

Dr. Brett:
I´m going to print some of this phrases in large fonts and display them allover my office. This is profound knowledge. Thank you again. Also, let´s talk about our next webinar and "coaching the coaches"
- Kevin said...
Hi Brett,
Two of my favorite saying are:
1-Always do what you've always done, and you'll always get what you've always gotten.
2- In order to do what you've never done, you need to become the person you've never been.
This post you've just written reminded me of those two sayigs.
Excellent post as always.

How do you cope with missing a move that you were orginally expecting but failed to execute the trade correctly? How do you keep yourself from letting the miss affect your trades later on in the day?
- markl67 said...
I can't stop buying tops and selling bottoms. I sense a move and instead of getting in right away I enter an order a point or so away and sure enough I get filled when others (scalpers) are profit taking.

Brett ~
Your observation...
"A true friend will share your dreams and accomplishments. Those that are there for you when you're down and not for your achievements are not friends."
... is so real, so true, that it deserves repeating here, if only by myself.
Toxic, malignant relationships are subtle and insidious. They are profoundly addictive.
People fall into them for a broad spectrum of reasons, unaware that the counter-party is drawing their strength from one's downturns and failures.
I've even seen it happen that otherwise intelligent, healthy people will fail into them in order to be embraced by someone offering the sort of "sympathy" best described as a parasite feeding off a host.
Everyone reading this can think of a friendship or marriage they have seen (hopefully not experienced themselves) that fits this description.
For a trader, such a relationship is a express train to poverty.
As you say, it is only someone who joyfully exclaims, "Oh, how wonderful!" when we announce a success whose empathy can be trusted when we go to them for postmortem of a loss.
Thank you for your wisdom.
Adam Sterling.

The 1st one I clicked on most of the sizes were sold out. (redwood).
hmmm, redirect. Try again. Redirect. Again. Yawn.
I blame the one armed man!
@morriea: I checked several other rings, and most of the sizes were sold out on them, too. What a great deal.
Hey guys, sorry about the problems. I'm trying to contact @thefenst. I fear he might be a heavy sleeper.
Looking into this. EDIT: Fixed.
Just purchased one > Awesome deal!
After wearing tungsten carbide, titanium feels like tinfoil wrapped around your finger. Spend a little more and get something that will last forever.
Too big. The smallest size they carry is 6.5. :(
This site needs to state clearly that these are plated. Obviously I have no proof of this, but I can tell you with certainty that nobody is selling a solid titanium ring for $8. Also considering that a steel ring on the same site is $5. These are all most likely steel rings plated with titanium or tungsten, which is not the same. If you want a ring that only "looks" titanium or tungsten, have at it, but you lose the other advantages of those metals.
What are the downsides of a titanium plated ring, if that is the case?
@synergynt - Titanium is not a terribly expensive nor rare metal. And if these were steel rings plated in titanium (the plating process would probably more expensive than the savings) you would know instantly as titanium is quite a bit lighter than steel.
I have Ti eyeglass frames and steel frames. You can tell an immediate difference in weight. In any event I have a Ti ring and a Tungsten Carbide ring from Tanga. They look nice and by weight seem solid.
@cabbageloins: They're not plated. They're solid jeweler's grade titanium.
@mliszka2: One of the reasons people get Ti rings are because they are as light as aluminium, but are not as soft. If I had a 5oz ring on my finger I would take every chance I got to take it off. I never take my Ti ring off. To each their own I suppose.

Newsome is Ansonia's unassuming running star
Ansonia High star tailback Arkeel Newsome's low-key personality defines him as a person, not as a football player.
That resonates with his Naugatuck Valley League rivals.
"Arkeel has a reason to be cocky, but he's not," said Wolcott senior safety Mike Nicol. "He's just a team-oriented guy. Arkeel is the most humble player I've ever seen, in my opinion."
At last year's All-State football banquet, Newsome proved that when he accepted the Connecticut Player of the Year award with a concise message, recalled Holy Cross lineman George Smith.
"Arkeel thanked his parents and the trainers at IAP in Oakville (Intergrated Athletic Performance) and then sat down," recalled Smith. "Some may expected some big thank you, but he sat down and there was some awkward silence, and then everyone began clapping."
Smith marveled at Newsome's genuiness.
"That attitude will take him some places," said Smith. "I don't know if I ever heard him say a word on the field. He just plays and plays hard."
The 5-foot-8, 170-pound Newsome doesn't take credit for his record-setting performances.
Last year, he set single-season state records for rushing yards (3,763) and touchdowns (62). And despite being hobbled by injuries this season, he's still managed to rush for 2,008 yards and 31 touchdowns, and recently broke the state record for career touchdowns with 116.
Newsome leads the Chargers (13-0) Saturday against North Branford (12-0) at 10:30 a.m. at Rentschler Field.
Earlier this week, Newsome praised his teammates and especially, the offensive line, for making life easier for him.
His opponents say that Newsome is being too modest.
"Arkeel is so shifty and quick, and with their big offensive line, it's hard to get a really good read on him," said Wolcott defensive lineman and co-captain Jim Nelson. "Last year, he'd go down maybe with an arm tackle. But this year, it has taken more than one person because he has gotten so strong. He's also gotten faster. When he gets past the line, it pretty much becomes a foot race, he's gone."
Smith was on the losing side twice against Newsome in 2011, in the regular season and in the NVL title game and once in the regular season this year. In all three cases, Newsome's talents won out.
"Arkeel's speed was the difference and definitely put him over the top," said Smith. "He got the ball on a couple of draw plays and once he got the handoff, his burst was unbelievable to watch.
Nicol noted that it doesn't matter if you line up as a safety, linebacker or nose tackle against Newsome.
"When you game plan against Ansonia, you've got trouble because you need to stop Arkeel Newsome," said Nicol. "That makes it tough."
Wolcott outside linebacker Joe Lynch says Newsome has an intangible that makes him almost impossible to defend.
"Arkeel is such a patient runner," said Lynch, "and his lateral movement is so good. He sees the field and an opening and makes you miss. On one play against him this year, I was on the outside on the opposite side, and when Arkeel went straight up the middle, I was trailing him the whole, and hoping to chase him down, but just couldn't get close enough.
"It's a sick and very frustrating feeling, but there's nothing you can do except tip your hat. You can't be mad. You just have to respect him because he's just that good."
Naugatuck senior Mick Pernell, the Greyhounds' best offensive and defensive player, said going against Newsome made him try to elevate his game even more.
"I was able to chase him down once or twice, but it's not an easy thing because he is so elusive," said Pernell. "If you hit him low, he'll bounce right off you. When we played against him in the NVL championship (in 2010), I couldn't believe his speed.
"His field awareness was so good and he's got to be fearless. After this year's game, he came over to me and wished me luck for the rest of my career. I said the same. I really appreciated that."

Mike has got to be one of my favorite characters from Monsters Inc. He was hilariously funny, and I really enjoyed the outtakes at the end. As you know Billy Crystal provides his voice talents for Mike Wazowski and that just makes this character that much funnier. Anyways, drawing Mike Wazowski easy will be fun, simple and exciting.

London (CNN) -- A Nepalese army colonel will appear in a British court Saturday to face torture charges linked to his alleged actions during his country's civil war, authorities said
Kumar Lama, 46, is accused of two counts of torture at an army barracks in the Nepalese Kapilvastu.
He is accused of intentionally inflicting severe pain or suffering, according to London's Metropolitan Police.
The alleged offenses occurred between April and October, 2005.
Lama is serving as a military observer under the U.N. Mission in Southern Sudan and was on vacation in Britain, Nepalese state media said.
His appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London comes two days after his arrest at a property in St. Leonard's-on-Sea, on England's south coast.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's counter terrorism squad searched his home.
The investigation into the torture allegations is being led by the squad, which also investigates alleged war crimes and human rights abuses.
Lama was arrested under Britain's 1988 Criminal Justice Act, which allows it to meet its obligations under the U.N. Convention Against Torture to prosecute anyone on its territory responsible for torture anywhere in the world.
Nepal summoned the British ambassador in Kathmandu on Friday to protest against the arrest, according to state-run Nepal Television.
The government demanded the officer's immediate release, the broadcaster cited Deputy Prime Minister Narayankaji Shrestha as saying. The Nepalese embassy in London has also been told to lodge a protest with the British government, it said.
Nepal's government is committed to ensuring justice, compensation and the human rights of torture victims, Shrestha is quoted as saying.
From the mid-1990s, Maoist rebels in Nepal fought a 10-year civil war to end the country's autocratic rule by the monarchy. More than 13,000 people died in the fighting.
The rebels signed a peace deal with the government in 2006, joined mainstream politics and won the most seats in a 2008 election for the Constituent Assembly. The victory transformed Nepal from a monarchy to a republic after 239 years of autocratic rule.
However, international rights group Human Rights Watch has warned of a lack of progress on accountability for violations since the political process stalled in 2011.
The group's Asia director, Brad Adams, welcomed Lama's arrest Thursday, saying it was "an important step in enforcing the U.N. Convention against Torture. Those responsible for committing torture in Nepal can no longer assume they are beyond the reach of the law in other countries.
"The lesson for the Nepal government and army is that it is time to end the culture of impunity that has left victims waiting for justice for far too long," he said.
Nepal has failed to prosecute anyone for torture committed during the civil war in the nearly seven years since it ended, the Human Rights Watch statement said.
Political disputes continue to plague Nepal, which failed to agree on a new constitution by a May deadline and has yet to hold new elections.
In December, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was deeply concerned about the continuing political deadlock in Nepal.
He urged the country's political parties to resolve their differences and form a broad-based government.
The U.N. said that despite the remaining challenges, there have been important achievements since the end of the civil war, including the integration of former Maoist rebels and removal of minefields.

CGI Boobs: 7 Special Effects The Stars Want to Keep Secret
If you gave any one of our big tech industries millions of dollars, a team of computer geniuses and cutting edge technology, they would probably waste it on AIDS vaccine research or nanocomputers or something. Hollywood will invest it in CG penis enhancement.
The reason is sometimes hours of makeup and the perfect lighting still aren't enough to make some stars look like stars. Welcome to the world of "vanity visual effects."
#7. Angelina Jolie's Naked Body in Beowulf (2007)
Beowulf continued the proud tradition of "performance capture" earlier exhibited in Polar Express, where real actors' bodies and motions are painstakingly captured and digitized into the computer world to play terrifying dead-eyed zombies (it is believed eye performances were captured separately, from that cupcake dog.)
In Beowulf, Angelina Jolie plays a nude lizard woman. In an interview, Jolie speaks about how shy she was about having her naked body scanned for the part, which is odd considering that the body you saw in the film came from Rachel Bernstein, who "has made a living winning swimsuit competitions" while "appearing in almost every lingerie catalog in LA."
That resume certainly qualifies her for the role, but leaves a few questions unanswered. Angelina Jolie, by all appearances, has a perfectly fine body, and any worrisome changes due to her three-month pregnancy at the time could have easily been touched up as they freely admitted to doing with the male actors.
"Ugh, she is hideous. Hire a body double, I'm gonna puke."
It might just be a symptom of society's double standards that actors can freely brag about getting better fake bodies while actresses have to keep up a pretense of being physically perfect. Or maybe she honestly didn't know. It certainly seems possible that when Angelina Jolie asked if they needed her to disrobe to have every square inch of her naked boobs scanned into a computer, some unscrupulous devil at the Sony scanning lab conveniently forgot to mention the body double.
#6. Kevin Costner's Hairline (and Neck Vaginas) in Waterworld (1995)
Waterworld holds a special place in entertainment history as one of the easiest punchlines of all time. When produced in 1995, for a budget of $175 million, it was the most expensive film ever made; money clearly well-spent on CG representations of things you can't find in real life, like the ocean. It turned out that, in addition to the planned out effects, after shooting had wrapped, some unfortunate observations came to light, such as the fact that Kevin Costner was losing his hair.
Costner in 1995. According to our Photoshop Department.
At this point, Costner realized that audiences would never be able to take his role as a half-fish/half-man seriously if they kept being distracted by his male-pattern baldness. Costner reportedly asked for reshoots and CG fixes, leading to one of many arguments that eventually got director Kevin Reynolds kicked off the movie.
Costner may have been inspired by another aging action hero. In 1991, it was rumored that Bruce Willis ordered his thinning hair touched up in Hudson Hawk which, if true, would have been even more ridiculous, budget-wise, as photorealistic CG wasn't available in 1991, and the hair would have had to be pretty much hand-painted frame-by-frame by a 2D artist. It seems like Costner may have taken the wrong lesson away from this cautionary tale of vanity (The biggest flop of the 90s prior to Waterworld? Hudson Hawk).
More understandable was some after-the-fact CG gill modification. Costner, as a fish-man in the movie, had gills on his neck. Above water they looked like gills, while underwater, as it turns out, they looked like vaginas. Needless to say, additional budget was found for some quick digital fixes. While they had saved themselves from losing the "family" audience, sales in Japan would suffer.
#5. Vivien Leigh's Eye Color in Gone With The Wind (1939)
It's easy to think that vanity visual effects started with the introduction of CGI to movies, but phoniness and gratuitous image manipulation have always been an integral part of Hollywood movie making, as the urge for this kind of arbitrary after-the-fact tinkering transcends technological limitations.
Like when they digitally added Jabba the Hutt into Citizen Kane.
In 1936, when it came time to cast an actress for the green-eyed Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, producer David Selznick went through an enormous two-year talent search looking at all the top actresses of the day. The final choice for the green-eyed Southern belle was a blue-eyed English actress named Vivien Leigh.
As production kicked into gear, in 1939, it suddenly occurred to Selznick that films were now in color. Technicolor had only introduced its groundbreaking three-color process for live action films in 1934, five years before, so Selznick could be forgiven for letting it slip his mind.
Rather than entertain the thought that the eye color of the main character may not be the most important aspect of a movie, Selznick pressured Monty Westmore, the makeup artist, to cover his ass on this one. He would call Westmore repeatedly at three in the morning and other odd hours, to explain that Vivien Leigh's eyes were still not green. Fans of the book would apparently settle for nothing less.
On the left you can see Vivien Leigh with green eyes as seen in Gone With The Wind, and blue eyes have been added on the right so that- oh seriously, who even cares?
Rather than wait decades for the introduction of colored contact lenses, the unfortunate Westmore, the cinematographer and the costume designer struggled to do their jobs using a combination of lens filters, reflective green costumes and enough green eyeshadow to drown a grown man.
#4. Nicolas Cage's Abs in Ghost Rider (2007)
Nicolas Cage has always been a little like a mild version of post-steroid Carrot Top--someone whose head doesn't seem to belong with his body.
Since at least Con Air, Cage has put a lot of work into his body, with fairly impressive results. Meanwhile, his head continues to look like Nicolas Cage's head, and his hairline in particular seems to take a step back for every ounce of muscle he gains.
This discrepancy is probably what has fueled accusations of CG muscle fakery against Cage from time to time, much of it likely to be unfounded. His action hero role in Ghost Rider once again calls for a handsome, ripped young man, but Cage was cast instead, and he did his best. He's talked about the amount of work put into getting in shape for the film and photos of him on the set seem to show the results:
So you'd think no CG help would be needed. However, some after-the-fact tattoo removal had to be done, and it seems that while they were in there, they couldn't help but fix a few other things here and there:
And now it's just silly. Why bother with a trainer at all, when they're just going to use the body of a Rambo action figure instead.
