Potato Salad
Comment on this recipe
I believe the two secrets to good potato salad are to mix the salad up while the potatoes are still warm and to use bread and butter pickle juice.
5 pounds red or Yukon Gold potatoes 6 hard-boiled eggs 1 pint Miracle Whip or more Pickle juice off 1 pint bread and butter pickles 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1 teaspoon dill weed 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish 1/2 cup celery, chopped or 1-2 tablespoons dried celery 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped or 1-2 tablespoons dried onion
Boil potatoes until tender but not mushy. Boil eggs in shell for 5 minutes on low. While they are both boiling stir all other ingredients together with a wire whip. Put eggs in ice water and peel. Peel potatoes as soon as they are not too hot to handle. Combine all ingredients gently with a large spoon. Add more Miracle Whip and/or pickle juice as needed so potato salad isn't dry. Refrigerate until chilled. Stir again and serve.

Ship of fools
The ship of fools is an allegory that has long been a fixture in Western literature and art. The allegory depicts a vessel populated by human inhabitants who are deranged, frivolous, or oblivious passengers aboard a ship without a pilot, and seemingly ignorant of their own direction. This concept makes up the framework of the 15th century book Ship of Fools (1494) by Sebastian Brant, which served as the inspiration for Bosch's famous painting, Ship of Fools: a ship—an entire fleet at first—sets off from Basel to the paradise of fools. In literary and artistic compositions of the 15th and 16th centuries, the cultural motif of the ship of fools also served to parody the 'ark of salvation' as the Catholic Church was styled.
Literary use[edit]
Michel Foucault, who wrote Madness and Civilization, saw in the ship of fools a symbol of the consciousness of sin and evil alive in the medieval mindset and imaginative landscapes of the Renaissance. According to Jose Barchilon's introduction to Madness and Civilization,
- "Renaissance men developed a delightful, yet horrible way of dealing with their mad denizens: they were put on a ship and entrusted to mariners because folly, water, and sea, as everyone then 'knew', had an affinity for each other. Thus, 'Ship of Fools' crisscrossed the sea and canals of Europe with their comic and pathetic cargo of souls. Some of them found pleasure and even a cure in the changing surroundings, in the isolation of being cast off, while others withdrew further, became worse, or died alone and away from their families. The cities and villages which had thus rid themselves of their crazed and crazy, could now take pleasure in watching the exciting sideshow when a ship full of foreign lunatics would dock at their harbors."
A 1962 novel by American writer, Katherine Anne Porter of the same name, set in the autumn of the year 1931, also uses the device of the allegory, and can be seen as an attack on a world that allowed the Second World War to happen.[1] The novel was the basis for a 1965 film starring Vivien Leigh and Lee Marvin.
Ship of Fools is also the title of a 2002 science fiction novel by Richard Paul Russo where the Ship of Fools is, not surprisingly, a space ship on which no one knows the destination.
In addition, Ship of Fools was used as the title of a book by the Irish journalist Fintan O'Toole on the causes of the financial crisis in Ireland, the metaphor being used to describe the Irish political establishment and their self-deception regarding the economic situation in the country.
Theodore Kaczynski, more commonly known as 'The Unabomber', wrote a play Ship of Fools while in prison, which uses the allegory for the state and advocates violent revolution on environmentalist grounds.
The alternative-history novel The Years of Rice and Salt, by Kim Stanley Robinson, portrays a 'caravan of fools' composed of outcasts, criminals and liberals, whose clashes with Muslim ideologues prompt them to abandon their lives in newly-recolonised Al-Andalus and form new settlements in modern-day France.
In popular music[edit]
- Experimental Irish folk group, Dr. Strangely Strange, recorded a song titled "Ship of Fools" on their debut album Kip of the Serenes (1969).[2]
- The Doors, John Cale and Grateful Dead have all had a song called "Ship of Fools" in their respective albums Morrison Hotel (1970), Fear (1974) and From the Mars Hotel (1974).
- Van Der Graaf, the late 1970s incarnation of Van der Graaf Generator, had a song called "Ship of Fools" that was the opening track on the live album Vital and a studio version of the song was the B-side on the final single released by the band.
- World Party also released a "Ship of Fools" song, in 1986.
- Robert Plant recorded a song by this name in 1987 for his album Now and Zen; in the same year Erasure also released a song called "Ship of Fools".
- Ronnie James Dio explored the idea of the Ship of Fools when he wrote and recorded "All The Fools Sailed Away" in 1987 with his band Dio. The song appeared on the band's 1987 album Dream Evil.
- Pert Near Sandstone released a 7" vinyl titled Ship of Fools in 2013. The title song "Ship of Fools" was written by the bands mandolin/ fiddle player Nate Sipe based on the renaissance era fable. The band simultaneously released an animated music video to supplement the song with a story-line also written by Nate Sipe, animated by Emily Fritze.

Restoring iPhone 5 as new, but save contacts
Hello, I have been using an iPhone sense the 3g and have never restored my phone as new, always from a backup. I have had my iPhone 5 for some time and it has a lot of useless stuff on it. I would love to restore it as a new phone but do not want to lose my contacts. Is there any way I can save only my contacts, but restore the phone as new? It also would be great if there was a way to sort out duplicate contacts. Thanks in advance for the help!

CES: An ultrasonic way to lose weight (but how much?)
LAS VEGAS. Losing weight is a sensitive topic. Principally because most people are embarrassed about the need and depressed about their ability to achieve their ideal size and shape.
So when I espied the word "slimming" at the CES booth of Korea-based Ahrong Eltech, I knew I had to stop, just in case I had magically stumbled upon the solution to so many people's largest problem.
"Slimming" is one of the most powerful words in the world. More powerful than "change." More powerful even than "money." Claim it, and you will … Read more

Ikat fabric could be a stunning design choiceFeb 22 2011 Roman shades are made from durable fabric and will complement any interior design. Ikat is an ancient style of fabric weaving that originated in Indonesia. The design is made by weaving dyed yarn before it is made into specific patterns. There is no true style of Ikat, as the manufacturers can choose whatever color they'd like and create something unique. The fabric may be a perfect way to upholster a sofa or to incorporate a brightly colored Ikat pillow with a dark hued couch. The stylish material lends itself perfect to neutral shaded window treatments and can be a wonderful starting point for your interior design dreams. Roman shades could be the perfect complement to your Ikat design choices. The classic design is made of durable polyester, available in many styles and colors and is also available in a woven wood look. In addition, they are also available in an energy-efficient design called EnviroFusion shades, which contain cellular shade technology that provides additional insulation. Related Products

What about cycling, someone mentioned Tour de France?
The difference is cycling actually has a drug testing program in place, and cyclists actually fail them. You can also see the last 10 years how times have started to come down from where they were when doping was more common.
The NFL on the other hand.....when was the last time someone failed a drugs test for a performance enhancing substance? Or are we supposed to believe that linemen have gone from ~250lbs to ~330lbs purely through improvements in nutrition? And that of the thousnads of players in a sport based on speed, size and strength, where you can be cut in the blink of an eye, not one of them has ever been tempted to use doping? Its the NFLs dirty secret, the elephant in the room that no-one talks about.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hi, I am Mike. I am a results-oriented and compassionate teacher with 7 years of experience in Algebra 1 & 2. I have a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and am a thesis shy of a master's degree in electrical engineering with 8 years of experience in engineering and project management. My journey toward education started with my calculus professor in college who impacted and inspired me to develop a passion for mathematics; this passion compelled me to take a sabbatical from engineering for 7 years, to share and inspire young minds to develop that same passion for mathematics and learning in general. I specialize in tutoring Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Biology, Anatomy, and Organic Chemistry for success in high school and SAT, GED, and ASVAB exams. Whether we are translating words into algebraic equations or memorizing 206 bones in an adult human skeleton, one of my objectives for each session is to keep the student challenged, but, not discouraged. I assign challenging homework after each lesson, and provide timely feedback.I am committed to a high standard and often ask for feedback; I never bill for a lesson in which the student or parent is not completely satisfied with my service.I look forward to hearing from and making a difference in your academic life.

Conventional wisdom — and the ranting of the "my OS is better than yours" crowd on blogsites — holds that Mac OS X is a much more secure platform than any version of Windows. I have no dog in this hunt. I mostly run Vista at home, occasionally run RedHat Linux, and I wish that I owned a Mac. I do know from my job, however, that there are frequent patches issued by Microsoft, Apple, and the various flavors of Unix and Linux and that most of the patches have to do with security. Though I have Mac envy, all I can do is laugh at the internet posts claiming that Macs have no security flaws. Every OS has security flaws. Period.
George Ou at ZDNet.com recently wrote an article that counted and categorized all of the security patches released in 2007 for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X. The results were surprising — Macs had more than 5 times the security flaws per month than Windows XP and Vista combined.
I'm not posting this because I'm a Microsoft shill. I see strengths and weaknesses in all operating systems. All systems are vulnerable but those who practice safe computing are at little risk, no matter what operating system you use.
UPDATE — 12/27/2007 5:30 PM: The article at ZDNet.com that I linked to has a number of flaws. For a different point of view, please read Vista vs Mac OS X Security: Why George Ou's ZDNet Vulnerability Numerology is Absurd at Roughly Drafted. Note that Roughly Drafted is hyper pro-Apple and vehemently anti-Windows. Chill out, dudes — it's an operating system, not a religion.

10 Top Telescope Questions
Owners of reflectors and Schmidt-Cassegrains periodically need to collimate (align) their optics to get the best images. Unfortunately, collimation is one of those things that's much easier to do than to describe without the benefit of step-by-step pictures. But why reinvent the wheel here? An excellent, well-illustrated article on the subject has already been written by Nils Olof Carlin.

This wine is ruby red in color and has substantial aromas of red cherry and plum. In addition to the fruit, I notice fragrances of cinnamon, allspice, and leather, the leather being something I feel is classic in good Pinot Noir. In the mouth, I taste pomegranate and cranberry along with a continuation of the red cherry from the nose of the wine. These fruity flavors are accompanied by a pleasant buttery vanilla taste which was derived from the French barrels and the malolactic fermentation the wine underwent. The wine has a soft-tannic finish. -Steve MacRostie

If viewers think Pretty Little Liars is scary, just wait for the show's new spin-off Ravenswood.
"On Pretty Little Liars we've surprised people and we've put people in jeopardy, but we've never had a chance to straight-out scare people," executive producer Joseph Dougherty tells TVGuide.com. "Whatever the uneasiness level of Pretty Little Liars is, Ravenswood will be 20 to 30 times higher. I like to lull people in with a false sense of confidence and tell everyone that Ravenswood is a delightful romp and then have everyone watch and be terrified."

Is Red Coat really Alison, the Pretty Little Liars' Queen Bee best friend thought to be dead?
"We're going into Season 4 with [the question of], is she or isn't she [alive]?" executive producer Oliver Goldstick tells TVGuide.com.
On the Season 3 finale, the battle between Mona (Janel Parrish) and foursome Aria (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Emily (Shay Mitchell) came to a head with the reveal that not only did Mona never know the identity of her boss in the red coat, but that she, Spencer and Hanna ultimately believed her to be Alison (Sasha Pieterse). Does this mean Alison was never killed? Or does she have a twin? And can viewers believe Toby (Keegan Allen) when he claims he was only on the A Team to protect Spencer? Plus: Where the heck are Paige and Jason? Goldstick answers our (many) burning questions.
For Pretty Little Liars' A-Team member Toby, it's only a matter of episodes before the jig is up.
"The clock is ticking at a fairly quick pace in terms of the revelation of Toby, and the girls are getting closer to uncovering the truth about it," executive producer Marlene King tells TVGuide.com.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is a game unlike any other in the franchise. Until now, the quintessential Dynasty Warriors experience pitted a lone warrior against thousands of enemies. For the first time in a Dynasty Warriors game, up to four friends can join together to form a "Strikeforce". Working as a team, players can plan coordinated assaults to conquer massive armed fortresses and colossal beasts.
While immense castles, towers and ships serve as the settings for these legendary quests, the lighting-fast action will go where it has never gone before- the skies above. Gifted with new supernatural abilities characters can streak across the skies and battle enemies at high-altitude. With both single-player and multi-player quests, new "air" fighting techniques, radical character customization, new challenges to conquer, and downloadable content, Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce will forever change the way gamers experience the Dynasty Warriors universe.

The Lancet Publishes Carraguard Phase 3 Trial Results
Trial showed anti-HIV microbicide candidate is safe, but did not prove it effective
NEW YORK, NY (5 December 2008) — The Lancet today published the results of the Phase 3 clinical trial of the microbicide candidate Carraguard®. The trial evaluated the gel's safety when used vaginally during a two-year period and assessed its efficacy for preventing male-to-female transmission of HIV.
The Population Council previously announced these results and informed trial participants, government officials, advocates, and other interested parties in February 2008 when the results were finalized.
Trial researchers found the product to be safe for vaginal use when used approximately once per week, on average, for up to two years. The trial did not demonstrate that Carraguard is effective in preventing male-to-female HIV transmission during vaginal intercourse.
There were 134 new HIV infections in the Carraguard group (an incidence of 3.3 infections per 100 woman-years) and 151 new infections in a placebo group (an incidence of 3.8 per 100 woman-years). The difference between the two groups is not statistically significant.
The Carraguard trial, which began in March 2004 and ended in March 2007, enrolled 6,202 women and was conducted at three sites in South Africa: the Setshaba Research Centre, through the University of Limpopo/Medunsa campus; the Empilisweni Centre for Wellness Studies, through the University of Cape Town; and the Isipingo Clinic (near Durban), through the Medical Research Council of South Africa. These sites are located in areas where the HIV epidemic is acute.
Carraguard is made of carrageenan, a seaweed derivative that is on the US Food and Drug Administration's list of products "Generally Recognized As Safe" for consumption and topical application. Laboratory research has shown Carraguard to be effective in blocking cells from becoming infected by HIV and human papillomavirus and in protecting mice from herpes simplex infections. Carraguard and similar carrageenan formulations had undergone extensive safety testing involving more than 850 women and men in earlier clinical trials in Australia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Finland, South Africa, Thailand, and the United States.
Half of the women enrolled in the Phase 3 study were given Carraguard gel and condoms, and the other half received a placebo gel and condoms. Participants received HIV education, gynecological exams, risk-reduction and safer-sex counseling, and testing and treatment for curable sexually transmitted infections. The Population Council helped fund medical and psychological services for women who were HIV-positive at screening or who became HIV-positive during the course of the trial.
The randomized, double-blind study found that there were no differences between women using Carraguard and women using the placebo in terms of safety, and that gel-related side effects were minor and infrequent. The finding regarding safety and lack of side effects is important because Carraguard's favorable safety profile and physical properties make it a potentially useful vehicle for future-generation microbicides to be developed at the Population Council.
The trial was funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Read more about the Population Council's work on microbicides.

About the Population Council
The Population Council confronts critical health and development issues—from stopping the spread of HIV to improving reproductive health and ensuring that young people lead full and productive lives. Through biomedical, social science, and public health research in 50 countries, we work with our partners to deliver solutions that lead to more effective policies, programs, and technologies that improve lives around the world. Established in 1952 and headquartered in New York, the Council is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization governed by an international board of trustees.
The Population Council has been working in Africa since the 1960s and in South Africa for nearly a decade. It has a global network of regional and country offices, including one in Johannesburg, South Africa, and ten others in Africa. During the past decade, the Council has worked on projects in 25 African countries.
About microbicides
Vaginal microbicides are being developed primarily as female-initiated methods for reducing male-to-female transmission of HIV and possibly other sexually transmitted infections when used during sex. Women need more options to protect themselves from infection because current prevention strategies are not always feasible. While no effective microbicides yet exist, they would most likely be formulated as gels, creams, films, or vaginal rings. Research to develop microbicides is being expanded to include rectal, oral, and a wider range of vaginal products, some for daily or continuous use. More information about microbicides research is available at http://www.global-campaign.org, http://www.rectalmicrobicides.org, and http://www.microbicide.org.

"One of the most beautiful facets of St. John's is the sense of community. Student activities plays a unique role in this regard as one of the few opportunities students have to interact with fellow Johnnies of different class years. The camaraderie built through participation in such extracurriculars as rock climbing, backpacking, whitewater rafting, and our intramural program is a wonderful thing to witness. We really do have a world-class playground here in Santa Fe, and plenty of great opportunities to take advantage of it!" --Mike Thurber
Student Activities Center (Gym)
The Student Activities Center is the headquarters for most of the college-organized and student organization activities on campus. The 26,000 square-foot Student Activities Center houses personal fitness equipment and athletic facilities including a full-size gymnasium, weight room, and two racquetball/squash courts, as well as shower and locker rooms. In addition, three tennis courts, a soccer field, a 1/8th-mile track, and a nine-hole disc golf course are located next to the Student Activities Center.
There is an array of classes offered through the Student Activities Center, from Yoga to Tango. The College Community can borrow sports and outdoor equipment free of charge. A college ID is required in order to enter the gym and to check out any equipment.

Classes, Clubs & Activities
We have many clubs and activities, including an astronomy club in which students have access to telescopes and a portable planetarium as well as Santa Fe's tremendous night sky; Chrysostomos, the student drama club; a yearly musical directed by our artist in residence, Roy Rogison; RPG groups; a student newspaper and a literary magazine; and various study groups for interests not covered by the curriculum. There is a pottery studio available for student use and a number of classes are offered on campus, including Karate, black and white photography, fencing, yoga, soccer, swing dance, ballroom dance, tango, and other dance classes.
Outdoor Program
Our location in northern New Mexico lends itself to an extremely active outdoor program at St. John's College Santa Fe. The campus is situated between desert and high alpine environments, so students have the opportunity to participate in hiking/backpacking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, skiing, snowboarding, and other activities. Outdoor outings are led by our Outdoor Program Coordinator, Mike Thurber, who has more than 12 years of experience guiding and instructing in the western United States. In addition to a wealth of entertainment activities in the outdoors, St. John's students are also involved in Atalaya Search and Rescue, the mountain rescue team that responds to distress calls for the mountains above the campus.
Intramural sports are a mainstay of campus life. Sports rotate according to season and include Ultimate Frisbee, basketball, dodge ball, and floor hockey. We try not to take ourselves too seriously, so games are competitive but fun. What we might lack in talent or experience, we make up for in enthusiasm. Four-square is a favorite game on the Santa Fe campus.
Starting Your Own Club
If a club you want doesn't exist, we usually have the resources to help you find other like-minded students and get your new program off the ground.

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the thoracis spine is an imaging method that uses x-rays to rapidly create detailed pictures of the middle back (thoracic spine).
CAT scan - thoracic spine; Computed axial tomography scan - thoracic spine; Computed tomography scan - thoracic spine; CT scan - upper back
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you. (Modern "spiral" scanners can perform the exam without stopping.)
A computer creates separate images of the body area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of the body area can be created by stacking the slices together.
You must be still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
The scan should take only 10-15 minutes.
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
Contrast can be given in several ways.
If contrast is used, you may also be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours before the test.
Tell your doctor nurse if you have ever had a reaction to contrast. You may need to take medications before the test in order to safely receive this substance.
Before receiving the contrast, tell your health care provider if you take the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage) because you may need to take extra precautions.
If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Too much weight can cause damage to the scanner's working parts.
You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the thoracic or middle part of the spine. The test may help diagnose or detect:
Thoracic CT scan can also be used during or after an x-ray of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots (myelography) or an x-ray of the disk (discography).
Results are considered normal if the thoracic region is normal in appearance.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks of CT scans include:
CT scans do expose you to more radiation than regular x-rays. Having many x-rays or CT scans over time may increase your risk for cancer. However, the risk from any one scan is small. You and your health care provider should weigh this risk against the benefits of getting a correct diagnosis for a medical problem.
Some people have allergies to contrast dye. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to injected contrast dye.
Rarely, the dye may cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, you should notify the scanner operator immediately. Scanners come with an intercom and speakers, so the operator can hear you at all times.
The thoracic CT scan is good for evaluating large herniated disks, but it can miss smaller ones. This test can be combined with a myelogram to get a better image of the nerve roots and pick up smaller injuries.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 American Western film directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman (who won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film). Based loosely on fact, the film tells the story of Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known to history as Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford) as they migrate to Bolivia while on the run from the law in search of a more successful criminal career. In 2003, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
In late 1890s Wyoming, Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) is the affable, clever, talkative leader of the outlaw Hole in the Wall Gang. His closest companion is the laconic dead-shot "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford). The two return to their hideout at Hole-in-the-Wall to discover that the rest of the gang, irked at Butch's long absences, have selected Harvey Logan (Ted Cassidy) as their new leader. Harvey challenges Butch to a knife fight over the gang's leadership. Butch defeats him using trickery, but embraces his idea to rob the Union Pacific Overland Flyer train on both its eastward and westward runs, agreeing that the second robbery would be unexpected and likely reap even more money than the first.
The first robbery goes well. To celebrate, Butch and Sundance visit a favorite brothel in a nearby town and watch, amused, as the town sheriff (Kenneth Mars) unsuccessfully attempts to organize a posse to track down the gang. They then visit Sundance's lover, schoolteacher Etta Place (Katharine Ross). On the second train robbery, Butch uses too much dynamite to blow open the safe, blowing up the baggage car. As the gang scrambles to gather up the money, a second train arrives carrying a six-man team of lawmen after Butch and Sundance, who unsuccessfully try to hide out in the brothel and to seek amnesty from the friendly Sheriff Bledsoe (Jeff Corey). As the posse remains in pursuit despite all attempts to elude them, Butch and Sundance determine that the group includes renowned Indian tracker "Lord Baltimore" and relentless lawman Joe LeFors, recognizable by his white skimmer. Butch and Sundance finally elude their pursuers by jumping from a cliff into a river far below. They learn from Etta that the posse has been paid by Union Pacific head E. H. Harriman to remain on their trail until Butch and Sundance are both killed.
Butch persuades Sundance and Etta that the three should escape to Bolivia, which Butch envisions as a robber's paradise. On their arrival there, Sundance is dismayed by the living conditions and regards the country with contempt, but Butch remains optimistic. They discover that they know too little Spanish to pull off a bank robbery, so Etta attempts to teach them the language. With her as an accomplice, they become successful bank robbers known as Los Bandidos Yanquis. However, their confidence drops when they see a man wearing a white skimmer and fear that Harriman's posse is still after them.
Butch suggests "going straight", and he and Sundance land their first honest job as payroll guards for a mining company. However, they are ambushed by local bandits on their first run and their boss, Percy Garris (Strother Martin), is killed. Butch and Sundance ambush and kill the bandits, the first time Butch has ever shot someone. Concluding that the straight life isn't for them, they return to robbery, but Etta decides to return to the United States.
Butch and Sundance steal a payroll and the mules carrying it, and arrive in a small town. A boy recognizes the mules' brand and alerts the local police, leading to a gunfight with the outlaws. They take cover in a building, but are both seriously wounded when Butch has to make a run to the mules for more ammunition. As dozens of Bolivian soldiers surround the area, Butch suggests the duo's next destination should be Australia. The film ends with a freeze frame shot on the pair charging out of the building, guns blazing, as the Bolivian forces fire repeatedly on them.

The film was originally rated M (for mature audiences) by the Motion Picture Association of America. It was re-rated PG when 20th Century Fox re-released the film in 1974.
The world premiere of the movie was in September 1969, at the Roger Sherman Theater, in New Haven, Connecticut. The premiere was attended by Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Robert Redford, George Roy Hill, William Goldman, and John Forman, among others.[4]
William Goldman first came across the story of Butch Cassidy in the late 1950s and researched it on and off for eight years before sitting down to write the screenplay.[5]
According to the supplemental material on the Blu-ray disc release, William Goldman's script, originally called The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy, was purchased by Richard Zanuck at 20th Century Fox for $400,000, double the price the studio's board of directors had authorized.[citation needed] The title roles were originally cast with Newman and Steve McQueen, but the latter left after a dispute over billing. The role of Sundance was then offered to Jack Lemmon, whose production company, JML, had produced the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke starring Newman.[citation needed]. Lemmon, however, turned down the role; he did not like riding horses, and he also felt he had already played too many aspects of the Sundance Kid's character before.[6] Warren Beatty was then considered, as was Marlon Brando, but the role of Sundance eventually went to the lesser-known Redford. (Initially Newman was to play Sundance and Redford Cassidy.) Fox did not want Redford, but director George Roy Hill insisted. Redford later said this film catapulted him to stardom and irreversibly changed his career.
Butch Cassidy's outlaw gang was actually called "The Wild Bunch"; this was changed, in the film, to "The Hole-In-The-Wall Gang" to avoid confusion with Sam Peckinpah's recently released film The Wild Bunch.[citation needed]
The response of major American movie reviewers was widely favorable. Rotten Tomatoes, a film review aggregator counted 89% of critical reviews as favorable.[7] Newman's and Redford's chemistry was praised as was the film's charm and humor.
Time magazine said the film's two male stars are "afflicted with cinematic schizophrenia. One moment they are sinewy, battered remnants of a discarded tradition. The next they are low comedians whose chaffing relationship—and dialogue—could have been lifted from a Batman and Robin episode."[8] Time also criticized the film's score as absurd and anachronistic.
Roger Ebert's review of the movie was a mixed 2.5 out of 4 stars. "The movie starts promisingly... a scene where Butch puts down a rebellion in his gang [is] one of the best things in the movie... And then we meet Sundance's girlfriend, played by Katharine Ross, and the scenes with the three of them have you thinking you've wandered into a really first-rate film." But after Harriman hires his posse, Ebert thought the movie's quality declined: "Hill apparently spent a lot of money to take his company on location for these scenes, and I guess when he got back to Hollywood he couldn't bear to edit them out of the final version. So the Super-posse chases our heroes unceasingly, until we've long since forgotten how well the movie started." The dialogue in the final scenes is "so bad we can't believe a word anyone says. And then the violent, bloody ending is also a mistake; apparently it was a misguided attempt to copy "Bonnie and Clyde...." we don't believe it, and we walk out of the theater wondering what happened to that great movie we were seeing until an hour ago."[9]
The Writers Guild of America ranked the screenplay #11 on its list of 101 Greatest Screenplays ever written.[10]
The film earned $15 million in rentals in North America during its first year of release.[11]
With US box office of over US$100 million,[12] it was the top grossing film of the year. Adjusted for inflation, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ranks among the 100 top-grossing movies of all time and the top 10 for its decade, due in part to subsequent re-releases.
The film won four Academy Awards: Best Cinematography; Best Original Score for a Motion Picture (not a Musical); Best Music, Song (Burt Bacharach and Hal David for "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"); and Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced. It was also nominated for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Sound (William Edmondson and David Dockendorf).[13]
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid also won numerous British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor (won by Redford though Newman was also nominated), and Best Actress for Katharine Ross, among others.
William Goldman won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.
In 2003, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Also in 1969, the Spaghetti Western titled Sundance Cassidy and Butch the Kid was published, starring Giuliano Gemma and Nino Benvenuti.
The film inspired the television series Alias Smith and Jones, starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy as outlaws trying to earn an amnesty.[14] It has also been spoofed in films such as Shanghai Noon.[15]
In the 2011 movie Blackthorn, Sam Shepard plays an elderly Butch Cassidy.[16]
A parody titled "Botch Casually and the Somedunce Kid" was published in MAD. It was illustrated by Mort Drucker and written by Arnie Kogen in issue No. 136, July 1970.[17]
