Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers, and are more common among women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Many women who are diagnosed with breast cancer undergo genetic testing to see if they carry these genes or others which signal an increased risk of developing another cancer, but the optimal timing of genetic testing is not yet known.
Genetic testing may be done soon after diagnosis (before surgery), or it may be done after surgery. Researchers in this study want to determine if Ashkenazi Jewish women prefer genetic testing before or after breast cancer surgery, and how they feel about their choice later on, after some time has passed. Women may pursue genetic testing or not, and are surveyed at multiple points throughout the study about their feelings and choices.
This study includes Ashkenazi Jewish women ages 18 to 60 who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer and who have not yet had breast cancer surgery.
For more information about this study, please contact Dr. Mark Robson at 646-888-4058.

- Good support for medium to high arches
- Shoe slides some on hard courts
- Those with low arches are going to feel the arch support
There's no doubt Asics has made some serious inroads into the tennis footwear market. Players have come to love the Gel Resolution, now in its fourth iteration. Now Asics is expanding its offerings with a speed-oriented design. Enter the Gel Solution Speed. One thing's for sure, you're going to notice this shoe. It's hard to miss with its screaming pink color. But you better look fast. Why? Because whoever is wearing them is sure to be moving with some serious foot speed. Our testers found this shoe offered an outstanding lightweight feel, with little to no break-in required. The shoe also offered great comfort, and though a few playtesters noted that the arch support felt on the high side, it didn't cause any issues. A couple of testers also had to adjust to the traction level, as the Gel Solution Speed allowed a little sliding. However, with the lightweight feel and good durability, this latest Asics offering could be your next match day and training shoe.
Comfort - Score: 4.2
The Gel Solution Speed hugged the feet of our testers and scored high in the comfort department. Siobhan said, "These shoes only took a little bit of break-in. Initially there was a little bit of rubbing on the ankle collar (I had ankle surgery and am overly sensitive to this), which I remedied by not tying the laces through either of the top eyelets. There was also a little bit of pinching on the vamp fold when the shoe flexed while I was on my toes, but that went away after a little bit of wear. Right away I noticed how I was able to move fast while feeling completely supported and comfortable. There is a lot of cushioning, and even though I have narrow feet and the shoe offers a medium fit, they felt really good."
Comfort was immediate for Brittany, who said, "From the moment I started playing in these shoes until the end of the playtest, I found them to be nothing but comfortable. There was no break-in period and I could play with these shoes right out of the box. In fact, I played a doubles match the day I got these shoes and had no problems with comfort at all. I truly enjoyed the perfect amount of cushioning the shoe offered. I even went for a run in them!"
Carol added, "I thought this shoe was very comfortable. I really liked the Gel technology Asics has in the shoe and felt that the cushioning it provided felt great. The cushioning allowed for comfortable play and didn't overwhelm me during long practices or matches."
Tiffani noted how the Gel Solution Speed fit her wide feet by saying, "When I first put on the Gel Solution Speed I noticed how snugly they fit my wider feet. I thought they would be uncomfortable and constricting, but I was wrong. The uppers are very flexible and offered me plenty of comfort. As with other Asics shoes I've worn, the Solution Speed also provided good cushioning."
Ventilation - Score: 3.8
The shoe's upper is a mix of a cage-like structure with a mesh underlay. The Gel Solution Speed received varied reviews on breathability. Carol and Brittany thought the shoe breathed just well enough. "I have no complaints on the ventilation of this shoe, but I also have no glowing reports," said Carol. "I felt that the ventilation was adequate."
Brittany added, "I thought the ventilation in these shoes was OK. I never thought my feet were overheating, but they did feel a little warm at times. I could keep these shoes on after playing tennis and walk around in them."
On the other hand, Tiffani was impressed. She offered, "This shoe outperformed anything I've tested in recent memory as far as ventilation goes. While walking to the car after a hit one afternoon I actually felt that my feet were getting cold. During play my feet felt cool, and they didn't warm up after playing either, which is a problem I've had with other shoes."
Siobhan, too, was pleased with the ventilation. She said, "The mesh has great ventilation and the shoe never got hot. The mesh support on the vamp allowed increased ventilation. My feet weren't very sweaty after playing, and I think this was part of the reason they felt so good after a long hit. I liked that my feet still felt just as fresh from start to finish."
Arch Support - Score: 3.7
Our testers could feel the arch support in the Gel Solution Speed. Tiffani felt comfortable. She said, "I can't say that I remember having any issues with the arch support. The arch support is definitely there, and feels to be pretty healthy and higher than medium. However, my feet didn't hurt, signaling that it was A-OK for my low arches."
Though she has medium arches, Brittany shared similar thoughts. She noted, "The arch support was a little on the higher side of medium when first trying on the shoes and then walking around in them. During my first hit I could feel the arch, but it wasn't uncomfortable or painful. After a couple hits I felt the arch had settled into the correct place and I had no problems at all after that."
"I felt that the arch was a little high for me," said Carol, who also has medium height arches. "I am not used to playing in a shoe with a higher arch, so there was a little bit of an adjustment period for me. Overall, it didn't impair my movement on the court, but I think I would prefer a little lower arch."
With higher arches, Siobhan had positive feedback. She offered, "I have a high arch, but the medium arch support felt good. The support was right where I like it."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.0
Though lightweight, the Gel Solution Speed has the Impact Guide and Heel Clutching System to help provide on-court stability. Brittany also noted how fit played a role. She said, "These shoes have a glove-like fit. My feet did not move at all within the shoes no matter which direction I was moving, and especially stayed in place on a quick stop or start. Surprisingly, for such a lightweight shoe I found there was enough stability for me to confidently move on the court. I never felt that I was going to roll an ankle even when I was moving aggressively in singles."
Siobhan concurred. She added, "The good fit and low-to-the-ground feel made the shoes really stable. I trusted the shoe with all my movements, from the cage-like upper stopping me from moving within the shoe to the good lacing system to the heel collar that locked my ankle into place. I have a history of ankle problems, so the fact that I felt really stable in this shoe, despite its light weight and flexibility, was really impressive to me."
Fit was also noted by Carol. She said, "The Gel Solution Speed held my feet very well. It was really a snug fit. My feet did not move around at all. I was a little concerned about my ankles. The shoe does expose the ankle a little more, and I found myself at the beginning of the playtest moving around the court cautiously because of this."
"My initial impression of the Gel Solution Speed was that I felt like I was sitting up high in the heel area and that the heel cup felt almost too shallow," said Tiffani. "My first movements on the court were tentative because of this impression. However, as I became more accustomed to the feel of the shoe on my foot, the less apprehension I had with my movements. As it turned out, I had no reason to worry. I didn't have any issues at all with support or stability."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 4.0
Asics put its AHAR rubber on the outsole, and it held up well on hard courts. Carol said, "I have hit quite a bit with this shoe and have found the durability to be great. Nothing has worn out yet."
"For being a lightweight shoe, the sole held up well on the hard court," said Brittany, who plays an aggressive baseline game. "After my playtest I only had some minor smoothing up in the toe area. Compared to other lightweight shoes, I would have to say this held up pretty well."
Tiffani also gave the shoe a thumbs up here. She said, "When I think of lightweight speed shoes, durability isn't something that comes to mind. The Gel Solution Speed surprised me again. This shoe has held up extremely well after a month's wear. I'll get several more months out of this shoe."
After a few hours on the court, Siobhan has no complaints, either. She offered, "I started wearing this shoe a lot later than the other testers, so I really only got in about 8 hours of court time. There is no wear or tear with that amount of playing. So far so good!"
Toe Durability - Score: 4.4
The Flexion Fit upper gets some added protection from the AHAR outsole that wraps up onto the toe. Our toe draggers were satisfied. Brittany said, "The toe bumper held up extremely well for me. I felt the bumper came up high enough that even when I did drag my toe there was no damage done to the shoe. The black color also helped camouflage any rubbing that occurred."
Tiffani added, "As with the outsole, I had no issues with toe durability. The toe bumper was plenty beefy for my toe dragging, and I saw no wear on the the uppers. I'm more than pleased."
Traction - Score: 3.9
The mixed tread pattern and AHAR rubber received mixed reviews. Tiffani felt there was a break-in period. She said, "This is the only area I had some issues with. I initially found the shoe to slide too much on hard courts. I felt, though, that the traction settled in after a hitting session or two. I also felt like I settled into the slight give the shoes offered traction-wise, even though I am not such an aggressive mover that I slide on hard courts."
It was a similar experience for Brittany, who said, "I noticed a small bit of slipping with this shoe when I was changing directions quickly. However, this occurred only a couple of times and wasn't something I dwelled on. In addition, I found I had to work a little bit extra to start moving."
Siobhan, on the flip side, loved the performance in this category. She said, "The tread pattern provided the shoe with really good traction. I really value a shoe that has zero slippage -- I get scared of spraining my ankle. The sole pattern, rubber compound and pivot points really allowed me to move as aggressively as I wanted without fear of sliding."
Add Carol to the fan list, too. She noted, "Traction was great. I was able to change direction and move easily around the court. The shoe definitely gave me the confidence to run down more balls, and really let me concentrate on my good movement around the court."
Weight - Score: 4.7
With "Speed" in the name our testers expected the shoe to be light, and they weren't disappointed. Carol raved, "It's very light weight, and I loved this feature. The lightweight feel allowed me to really focus on my movement on the court and gave me confidence to run down a lot of balls."
"Loved it," Siobhan simply put it. She continued, "This is the lightest shoe that I have worn in a long time, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt light and fast. The heavier the shoe, the more I feel like I am going to trip over my own feet, but I felt completely in control of all my movements because the shoe moved so lightly."
Tiffani also laid on the praise, saying, "This Asics shoe got top marks for me in this category. I find there's a fine line between lightweight and plain not safe. Asics played it right, and the Solution Speed offered me a great, lightweight feel without sacrificing any needed stability."
Brittany offered, "My favorite element of this shoe was the weight. Being a size 8, this shoe weighs 10.2 ounces. This felt like the lightest shoe I have ever played in. It was really easy to move around in and I loved the low-to-the-ground feel. I felt extremely quick on the court and never had to worry about my shoes."
Overall - Score: 4.2
Siobhan - "How light they were and how easy it was to move in them, with no fear of sliding or slippage. Also the cosmetics -- I love the color scheme. A big bold statement for a girl used to traditional silver or white."
Brittany - "I liked the weight, comfort and bold color!"
Carol - "My favorite feature of this shoe is the weight. I really like the Gel technology that Asics implemented as well. Additionally, I like the cosmetics of this shoe. I know I have previously said that I prefer the traditional white tennis shoe, but I am really coming around to the wild colors. I received many compliments on this shoe on and off the court."
Tiffani - "It's supportive while being super lightweight, it's well ventilated and the cosmetics are great."
Siobhan - "The initial discomfort around the ankle and on the vamp fold when I was on my toes."
Brittany - "The traction was just OK in these shoes, and the arch took a bit to get used to."
Carol - "I felt that the arch was a little high for me, and I was very surprised by that. I also was a little concerned about my ankles in the shoe. The back support does sit lower on the back of the foot, so I definitely was cautious in the beginning with my movement. Ventilation was adequate, but I really think this is something Asics can improve."
Tiffani - "There wasn't much I didn't like, though it took me a day to get used to the ride and the slight slide I got from the outsole when stopping and starting."
Compared the Gel Solution Speed to other shoes they have worn, our testers said:
Brittany - "I would compare these shoes to the New Balance 851 and Lunar Speed 3. All three shoes are extremely lightweight, but I found the Asics Gel Solution Speed to have better durability and stability."
Siobhan - "With my personal shoe experience I would definitely rate this at the top. The stability was great, the fit was comfortable (with a tiny bit of wear in), and durability was good in the early days."
Carol - "I liked this shoe, but in comparison to the fit, durability and cushioning of other shoes out there I really felt that this shoe would be ranked in the middle of the pack."
Tiffani - "I think the Gel Solution Speed is a perfect balance of two lightweight shoes I have recently tested. I liked the New Balance 851 for its weight, comfort and good ventilation, but found it lacked adequate support for everyday play. I liked the Nike Lunar Speed 3 for its weight, looks and support, but found it took a long time to break-in. The Speed Solution has it all: immediate comfort, good ventilation, great cosmetics and good support."

Finite Well
Application ID: 459
This model defines transient flow to a well of finite radius in a confined aquifer. The results from this analysis are compared to the well known Theis solution for flow to a point well. What distinguishes this model from the Theis problem is the well geometry.
Since the analytic solution describes the well as a point source which produces unphysical results inside the wellbore. The COMSOL Multiphysics analysis produces a physically based solution in the well using extrusion coupling variables to extend the results at the well edge over the well interior.
Apart from the well geometry, assumptions underlying the Theis problem apply. The reservoir is of infinite horizontal extent and is confined above and below by impermeable layers. As the well fully penetrates the reservoir, withdrawals are uniform along its length, making flow entirely horizontal. Storage in the well is neglected. Fluids are released instantaneously from storage in the aquifer. Prior to pumping, the flow field is at steady state. Flow is horizontal, does not vary with depth, and equipotentials are axisymmetric about the wellhead.

Can't wait to try this! How did you do the lovely looking spaghetti that you served along side? Thanks again for yet another wonderful recipe to add to my repetoire :) - April 13, 2012 at 7:24 PM
- Chef John said...
Thanks!! It's the cut spaghetti I used in the video a while ago, this was just with tomato sauce.

What you say about the pan is true (i.e. heavier is better from a heat standpoint), but there's more to it. Stainless steel is attractive for cooking because it is easy to clean, it's not too expensive, it looks good even when it'ss old (unlike most people) and it is rugged. However, the thermal conductivity (ability to transfer heat and avoid hot spots) isn't very good and the specific heat (ability to "hold" heat)isn't either. One solution is to simply use a heavier pan, but SS still isn't very good. The folks at Al Clad overcome this problem by sandwiching aluminum between two layers of SS. Aluminum conducts heat up to 15 times better than SS and it has roughly twice the ability to "hold" heat. But aluminum isn't very scratch resistant, it's not particularly strong,it looks old when it's old, and some say aluminum leaches out into the food and causes Alzheimer's disease and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
Therefore the clad aluminum/Stainless construction is ideal, so we can enjoy the good properties of both materials. - April 14, 2012 at 1:11 AM

That looks soo delicious.
I like that you added tomato sauce and that you left the cream out and just used a dab of butter to thicken the sauce.
That way the sauce has to taste more "natural".
I will give this a try as soon as possible.
Thanks for the inspiration. :) - April 14, 2012 at 4:44 AM
Another amazing dish. I have been using the recipes from this blog for some time now and its just been one great tasting meal after another.
One criticism I have is that while chef John draws inspiration from so many different cultures and food traditions I see very little Indian cuisine represented. If this continues the fine foodies of Indian origin will interpret this as an act of war.
As the official ambassador of all Indian people that enjoy this blog I warn you that the consequences of such continued flippancy may be dire; these include but are not limited to the intense sadness of over a billion people :(
Thanks for all the great meals! - April 14, 2012 at 4:53 AM
Hi Chef - nice dish! I have a nice pair of tenderloin steaks in my fridge for this weekend I was looking to do a nice steak and sauce with so you read my mind. Nice on the All Clad freebie too. :) Any significant benefit in flavor or juiciness to buttering a tenderloin cut (or other high meat cut) before you season & sear? I read about this and was wanting to ask you this question. It seems to me you would burn the butter but figured I would ask. I have seen chefs toss butter onto the steaks AFTER searing and finish in an oven but was not sure if this was the same thing. Thanks for all you do and I'll be making this recipe this weekend. Yum!

Congrats on your 700th! Well I guess this 701th...Been a big fan for a few years now and look forward to every post!!
I have learned soooo much and hope you keep going strong! Can't wait to try this beef dish tonight! Thanks from Salem, MA!
Deej - April 14, 2012 at 12:01 PM

Yes, you can sear in butter if you want! Just a matter of taste. The butter will get nutty brown at that heat unless you clarify it 1st.
- April 14, 2012 at 12:08 PM
I made this tonight. Unfortunately, the mushrooms which I bought at an upscale large local supermarket were infested with tiny bugs, so I tossed them. I substituted onion for the mushrooms and Cabernet Sauvignon for the Marsala. I'm sure my end result was different than yours, Chef, but it really was quite good. I didn't have the heart to throw out the excess sauce. I served this dish with your pierogi. Also, I used a Revere Ware copper clad stainless steel pan that is probably 60 years old. It worked well. Thanks for another keeper.

"and some say aluminum leaches out into the food and causes Alzheimer's disease and some other stuff I can't remember right now." -badump, tssssh!
Sorry, but this dish is begging for a little sour cream and paprika. - April 14, 2012 at 8:11 PM
Nice Porsche!
Trying this one for dinner this week.
Happy over 700!

Chef, I make this dish often with chicken thighs. It's a scrumptious meal. I use a 25 year old revere ware copper clad bottom pan every time. Love my stainless steel set I invested in 25 years ago. Still looks new after a ton of cooking and always cleans up easy.

I have been slowly (ever so slowly due to the cost) collecting a few All Clad pieces and I don't know how I ever did without them. I have one stainless skillet, a 12 inch and it is indeed what I use for meats and pan sauces. I love cooking in my iron skillets for many things but I prefer this pan for sauces because the metal doesn't react with the acid in the sauces. I've spoiled myself rotten with this great cookware.
I do a lot of pounded thin chicken thighs and pork tenderloin with this technique. The occasional piece of beef... As you say, easy and fabulous. - April 16, 2012 at 11:58 AM

Porche. It was a gift! :)
- April 20, 2012 at 4:11 AM
Hi Chef John--I prepared this dish last night and could not believe that such deliciousness (Is that a word?) came out of my kitchen. Everyone at the table agreed that recipes like this one would make us never go to a restaurant again. Looking forward to preparing this sumptuous dish soon. Thank you.
- April 20, 2012 at 2:36 PM
Hi Chef John,
You must have learned to cook from me! That's exactly the way I cook our steaks and 'shrooms. But when I do the pasta I break them short and sautee it (some will brown...good) in the oil left from the mushrooms and tomatoes (from a can with sauce which I strain so I can get a better sear on the tomatoes) and then add back a little of the saved tomato sauce, it adds another dimension to the pasta. Try it.

love you - but --
you posted for 4 and cooked for 2
did you have 2 pans ? - April 23, 2012 at 6:44 PM
- Chef John said...
I only made 2. I would have used a larger pan to do 4. I posted the amounts for 4 for the contest.
- April 23, 2012 at 7:17 PM
Chef John! I can't eat beef and neither does my family and friend's because we are practicing Buddhists. Can I substitute this with pork? Would it still work good or do I have to adjust the timings? Thanks so much! I watch your videos from so long ago. You just keep improving and it really inspires me.
- May 25, 2012 at 1:36 PM

Use any meat you want!! Enjoy!
- May 25, 2012 at 2:40 PM
- Dan and Hilary said...
Chef John, you have done it again with this amazing technoque and flavor profile! I made this tonight for my wife and it was fantastic, probably my favorite pan sauce of yours I have tried so far, so tangy and robust!
I did not have Marsala or fresh Oregeno, but I did have a full bodied red and some fresh parsley and it totally worked. Next time I splurge on filet of beef tenderloin I will be fully prepared for the awesomeness, and will try it with Marsala.
Please keep posting your fantastic recipes. I have really learned how to really step it up as a home cook with the help of your videos ove the last few years. Plus, who knew cooking could be the precedent for so many bad, but hilarious jokes? - June 22, 2012 at 11:07 PM
- Chef John said...
- June 23, 2012 at 2:18 AM
Chef John,
Can you please give some advice for people that have to use an electric stove top versus gas. I am new to electric and tried this recipe as you wrote it and almost burnt it. I did however salvage it and it came out awesome! My question is: How to adjust the heat for a recipe that is being cooked with gas on an electric stove top. Thanks for ALL YOU DO! - July 10, 2012 at 9:31 PM
- Chef John said...
I never use electric, but even if I did, there wouldnt be much info I could give since they all have different settings. Sorry!
- July 11, 2012 at 1:42 PM
What else do you use grape seed oil for????
- September 14, 2012 at 8:13 PM
- Chef John said...
For anything. It's flavorless.

Hi Chef!
I picked up a Marsala "Sweet" wine, as opposed to the "Dry". Will this work for tonights dinner? Or should I go get the dry? - October 9, 2012 at 9:03 AM
- Chef John said...
I much prefer the dry! The sweet is dessert wine and not as good IMO.
- October 9, 2012 at 11:06 AM
- Dan Loftus said...
You Rock! I went a bought the dry Marsala, fixed it per your excellent directions, and could not believe the look on my guests face! They said thanks (several times) for the 5 star dinner!
Thank you very much! - October 11, 2012 at 3:37 PM
I used to be a le cruset man, now though, it is all about the All Clad. Thank you Chef John for all you have done to improve my cooking.
- October 25, 2012 at 8:52 PM
Hello Chef!
I was just wondering...how do you always keep your stainless steel pans nice, shiny, and brown-spot free!
Also! Thank you for your videos, I have made so many things already! My cooking has definitely improved a lot. - October 28, 2012 at 10:57 PM
- Chef John said...
Not sure, just wash in soap and water.
- October 29, 2012 at 1:10 AM
- Janie Dee said...
Anonymous I put my pan back on the burner with water and soap if needed. If that doesn't work you can use Bar Keepers Friend. Just remember to rewash with soap and water. Hope that helps.
- January 10, 2013 at 8:17 PM
- McShine said...
I love this recipe, the sauce is amazing! However, I'm a little confused about one thing: I've learned from a friend who works as a chef, that you should never salt a steak before frying it, because the salt draws out the water from the meat and makes it dry and chewy. However, I've noticed that you always salt your steaks before frying them, and they seem perfectly juicy. So what's the correct way to do it? I'd appreciate your input on this :)
- September 25, 2013 at 12:49 PM
- Chef John said...
Your friend is wrong. Did the meat look dry to you? ;)

This was absolutely delicious! The only downside to this recipe is that hubby doesn't eat meat or mushrooms so I had it all to myself. :-D

- nadya said...
chef john, i want to make this for dinner for my in laws (so your answer to this question is abscolutelt essential!). is it ok if i sear the beef and make the sauce a day ahead and then finish reducing/cooking the medallions when i get back home from work the next day and before they show up for dinner?? please say yes.
- December 8, 2014 at 9:32 AM
- Chef John said...
yes, but much harder to get meat perfect reheating!

Chef John, just made this again as a last meal in my soon to be old kitchen! Had it with roast potatoes and steamed fresh broccoli and was Amazing!

Benedictine Bottoms Wildlife Area
Atchison, KS
Manage: Kirk Thompson
Phone: (913) 367-7811
The US Army Corps of Engineers purchased the area as a Missouri River Fish and Wildlife Mitigation Project in 1993 and 1994. This area was purchased under authorization of Congress through the Mitigation Project in Section 334(a) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986. The 2,112 acre Benedictine Bottoms was then leased to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks for management in 1999 after development.
Access to the area as of September 8th 2011 is limited. Many roads in the Benedictine Bottoms Wildlife area are impassable due to the flooding in the Missouri River area. Access is possible from the city of Atchison, but only to the levee along Independance Creek on the west. It is also possible to access the area from the north, south of the town of Doniphan. As of this time approximately 70% of the area has water on it or is very wet, most internal roads including the road to the main parking area are underwater.
The area is a 2,112 acre wildlife area in the flood plain of the Missouri River. The river borders the area on the south and east. This site is managed for 3 habitat types that existed in the area before development, timber, native grass and wetlands. During construction more than 175,000 trees were planted, 550 acres of native grass were planted and 450 acres of wetlands were developed.
Construction on the area started with tree planting consisted of a variety of hardwoods and shrubs. These varieties will provide mast as well as escape and winter cover for many wildlife. Though most of the hardwood trees are still small many Cottonwood trees are mixed in and are doing quite well.
The grasslands were created from a mixture of big bluestem, Indian, eastern gama and switch grasses along with wildflowers and legumes. Most of the grasslands have done very well and is providing valuable nesting and escape cover as well as a source of food.
The 450 acres of wetlands were built using low-profile earthen berms and using the natural contour of the land. Three well and distribution pipe provide water to approximately 120 acres. Water control structures were placed on the wetlands to allow for control of water depth.
Currently the area has a great variety of wildlife. Many species of song birds use the area and can be seen throughout the year. Many water birds also use the wetlands including shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl.
Many game species are common to the area. Good numbers of deer stay on the area with several large bucks seen every year. A large population of pheasant are found on the area and is a favorite of the locals. Good numbers of quail and rabbits can also be found.
- The area is open to the public from April 1 through September 30. From October 1 Through March 31 an access/hunting permit is required. These permit are by computer draw only. Applications period will start in July and will be acepted on-line only at http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/, look for "Special Hunts"
- Off road vehicle, ATV and horse use is prohibited.
- No alcohol or cereal malt beverages of any kind are allowed on the area.
- non-toxic shot required for all shotgun hunting

I recently had the opportunity to interview Jeremy Leu of Campbell Cameras about camera equipment and methods for filming your very own hunt. There is a lot of information available in regards to the equipment and tactics of filming hunts, these are answers for just a few of the most common questions we hear...
Q: If you're a bow hunter looking to film your own hunts, what are the bare essentials that you'll need to get started?
A: A good mid range compact HD camcorder package like the Canon HFS30 Whitetail package will have everything you need to get started. The bare essentials would include a camera, camera arm, camera case, recording media and a spare battery. From here you can add to and upgrade your camera equipment.
The Canon HFS30 is an excellent package to start filming your hunts!
Q: Assuming you have a partner with you to run the camera while you hunt, is there any additional or special equipment that you should consider purchasing?
A: If you can budget for it I would scale up on everything if you have a dedicated videographer. Most of us operate on a budget so the items would definitely suggest are a LANC controller and wireless microphones.
Q: When picking out a camera to use, what do you believe are the most important features to look for?
A: The things I would look for are; Low Lux rating, 10x to 20x Optical zoom, manual focus option and 1080 HD recording format.
Q: What do you think are the most important technical features that every amateur videographer should learn about their camera and other equipment?
A: Learn to use manual Focus!! Also don't over use your zoom! Zooming in and out can be nauseating for an audience, only allow the subject to fill up about 1/3 of the screen.
Q: What camera and camera arm combo is the best bang for your buck right now?
A: The Sony NX70U and the 3rd Arm Bandit is a great setup.
Jeremy picks the Sony NX70U as the best "bang for your buck" camera.
Q: What are your feelings on Point-of-View (POV) cameras like the Epic Cam and GoPro?
A: Point of View cameras are a necessary tool for all videographers now days, solo hunt videographers especially. It allows the self videographer to set up multiple views from their stand live as they happen. I don't go into the field without at least 1 but usually have 2 or 3.
This is a still photo taken from a video recorded by my Epic Cam.
Q: When filming by yourself where is the optimal location to mount your camera?
A: I prefer to have the camera on a small tree arm in front of me, centered but down low. That way when I stand up to get ready for the shot I can shoot over top of the camera and get full range of motion for filming.
Q: When filming with a partner, where should the cameraman be located in relation to the hunter?
A: Of course opinions vary and there is no true right or wrong way, I like to position the camera stand 90 degrees to my right and high enough to not affect my shot but low enough to allow the camera operator to get that perfect over the shoulder shot.
There is no "perfect set" for every situation, but this is one we strive for.
Q: What is the biggest mistake you see amateur cameramen make while filming hunts?
A: Using auto focus and zooming in too tight or zooming in and out too much. Also audio can be over looked by beginners.
Using manual focus is key when it comes to filming quality hunts.
Q: What are the top 4 things you should check on your camera every time you go into the woods?
A: Make sure the batteries are charged, card or tape capacity checked, lens is cleaned and free of scratches and the audio is operating properly.
Q: Is the extra time and money really worth it in the end?
A: Depends on what level you are at or what you plan to do but any HD camera will provide good quality footage, the difference is in the lens size, low light capability, and size and number of sensors for color processing.
Sometimes cameras, equipment and everything that goes with filming a hunt can be quite overwhelming for something that most of us do as a hobby. If you have questions about camera gear don't hesitate contact the guys at Campbell Cameras and they'll be sure to give you sound advice, whatever your goal may be.

Floor Mats & Liners at 1A Auto
What are Floor Mats and Liners and where are they Located?
You may have noticed the small pieces of carpet material that lay underneath your and your passengers' feet in your car or truck. These are your vehicle's floor mats or liners, which are the buffers between your shoes and your interior carpeting in the front and rear. They protect the carpet underneath them and make it easier to clean the floor. The dirt, mud, sand, road salt, snow, water, autumn leaves and other debris from your shoes that would otherwise seep and grind into your carpet, is absorbed or channeled away from your feet by floor mats or liners instead. They also protect your carpet from spills of food and drink, as well as other things like chemicals, which could stain and ruin your interior. You can then take out your floor mats or liners and shake, beat, hose off, dump or vacuum the accumulated dirt and filth out of them, which is a lot easier than cleaning your whole automotive carpet. Floor mats and liners also help to prevent wear, snags and rips in your vehicle's carpet caused by foot friction when you enter, exit, or shift about in your seat.
While floor mats and liners serve a practical purpose, they also serve a cosmetic one. Clean, stylish looking floor mats help to enhance the overall appearance of your car or truck's interior. After all, nobody really wants to look at ratty, tattered or stained carpeting.
What is the Difference Between a Floor Mat and Floor Liner?
While floor mats and liners are similar in the fact that they are both protective automotive carpet coverings, and the two terms are often used interchangeably, there is actually a minor, yet fundamental difference between the two that most may not realize. Floor mats are almost always flat and because of that, they more or less are a direct fit. Carpeted mats would fall into the floor mat category. There are also other, more protective mats out there, made out of various materials like rubber, which have high ridges and deep wells or channels between the ridges that are designed to trap things like water, sand, mud, etc. from getting all over your carpeting. These types of floor mats fall under the all-weather category, which we will discuss in greater detail below.
Floor liners, on the other hand, are more rigid and are molded, also with a more or less perfect fit, to the shape of the floorboards of the particular vehicle to provide complete coverage. They are designed with raised lips that run up alongside the perimeters of the automobile's foot-wells, creating a basin that contains spills and whatever mess the soles of your shoes bring into the vehicle so that they never touch your automotive carpet. They usually also feature a channel/ridge surface pattern that carry fluid and debris elsewhere on the liner and minimize its movement, which also helps keep your feet dry while you drive. Floor liners also fall under the all-weather category.
Regardless if it is a floor mat or liner, they both will have something on the back/bottom to keep them in place. This can range from rubber cleated backing, to nibs, or some type of anti-skid bottom that creates friction with the carpet underneath to keep them from sliding around.
Types of Floor Mats and Floor Liners
There are many different designs and materials of floor mats and liners that are available for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. However, they can really be boiled down into two major categories: all-weather mats and liners, and carpet floor mats.
Carpet floor mats, which are almost always flat, provide a combination of classic style and protection to your car or truck's interior. They are perfect for that restoration project you might be working on, or if you are just looking for an alternative replacement. Carpeted floor mats are made out of materials like nylon and come in an array of different colors, so you can either match the shade of your old factory carpet floor mats or get crazy and add your own touch of style with something completely different. Due to the fact that they are carpeted, these types of floor mats are thick, durable and provide a softer feel than liners made out of rubber or thermoplastic, for example. In addition to the many different colors that are available, you can further customize carpeted floor mats with embroidery options such as adding a logo. Unfortunately, while carpeted floor mats provide style and a high degree of customization, they are just as susceptible to the elements as the automotive carpet they are meant to protect. If you live in a mild to moderate climate, where sunny skies are the norm, then this is not as much of a concern. However, if you live in the Northeast for example, those carpeted floor mats are going to take a beating come winter time, and you are going to have your work cut out for you in terms of keeping them clean.
That's where all-weather floor mats and liners come in. These types of mats and liners are constructed from heavy-duty materials like molded thermoplastic, and provide the utmost protection for your vehicle's interior against mud, snow, water, spills, grime, foot friction, etc. The big advantage that they provide over carpeted floor mats is that they are incredibly easy to clean - basically, you just need to wash them off, or give them a good, hearty shake, and they will be as good as new. They can also take a lot more abuse than carpet floor mats can. If you live in a wet or snowy area, frequently go off-roading or hiking in the outdoors, or haul dirty tools and equipment around all day in your work truck, these types of floor mats and liners offer superior protection and durability.
How do I Know if my Floor Mats or Liners Need to be Replaced?
New floor mats aren't a life saving device and they won't add more horsepower or improve fuel economy, but what they will do is improve the interior appearance of your car. Your interior floor mats and liners take a lot of abuse. After all, you step on them with your dirty shoes all the time. Over time they can fade, stain, or get worn or torn, depending on what type of mat or liner you have. A common reason for replacing carpeted floor mats is wear from the heels of shoes, as people tend to wear a hole in front of the accelerator pedal. These things can be a real eyesore, but these problems are easy to fix, especially here at 1A Auto.
The choice of automotive floor mat or liner really depends on a number of factors and your particular needs or preferences, such as the place you live in and the weather conditions, if you are restoring an old vehicle, whether or not you're an off-roader, or if you are looking for customized embroidered logos, to name a few. The sky is really the limit when it comes to selecting floor mats and liners, and 1A Auto has what you need.
At 1A Auto, we carry an incredibly large selection of floor mats and liners, for both the front and rear of the vehicle, for many makes and models. If you are simply looking to replace your factory floor mats or liners, or just want to upgrade what you have now, 1A Auto is the place to shop to make the inside of your car, truck, van or SUV look like new!
Can I Replace the Floor Mats or Liners in my Vehicle Myself?
Replacing floor mats and liners is about the easiest thing you can do to spruce up your car's interior. Just pull out the old mats, toss them in the trash where they belong, and put in the new mats or liners once you have purchased them. Our floor mats and liners are designed to fit your specific model just like the originals, so no cutting or alteration is necessary. They should fit right out of the box.
Need Replacement Floor Mats or Liners for your Car or Truck?
Are your auto floor mats so dirty, faded or worn that it's embarrassing? Does your vehicle's interior look like a stained and tattered mess? Or, are you looking for increased protection from the weather and potential spills? If the answer to any of these questions is a resounding yes, 1A Auto has the floor mats and liners your car, truck, SUV or van needs for a complete and great looking interior! We offer a huge selection of quality automotive floor mats and liners made from the finest materials in the industry, for every row in your vehicle - from the front all the way back to the rear. Whether you need a durable rubber floor mat for the family car or an authentic carpeted floor mat for your classic restoration, 1A Auto is the place for you!
Our carpet floor mats are made from 100% nylon cut pile material, are chemically treated to reduce humidity fading and lightfastness, and are available in exact-cut shapes and original styles. We also have a large selection of colors available if you are looking to customize, and we also carry embroidered logo floor mats, too! For those who are in need of a more rugged carpet protector, we also have all-weather floor mats and liners made from heavy-duty materials like moldable thermoplastic as well as durable rubber.
At 1A Auto, we make shopping for replacement floor mats and liners for your car, truck, SUV or van easy - we're here to help you select the right ones for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our new and aftermarket floor mats, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online. So don't be ashamed of those eye sores you call your automotive floor liners or fading carpet mats; replace your dingy, old floor mats or torn liners and bring back the look of your interior with new ones from 1A Auto!

This is a four-year accredited course.
If you have a good grasp of maths and design and love to solve problems creatively, then this civil engineering degree will be an excellent choice for you. During this degree, you will be actively involved in developing the specific design and professional skills required by civil engineers and will tackle numerous design problems to develop your analytical, technical and decision-making abilities. You will study all the major areas of civil engineering, such as structural design and applications, fluid mechanics and water engineering, geotechnical engineering and construction project management. Mathematics is embedded into all our engineering subjects which enables the relevance of sometimes obscure mathematical concepts to be appreciated.
For the first two years of the degree, all of our undergraduates follow an integrated BEng or MEng route. Once you've finished your second year, you'll then choose whether to complete the BEng H200 or go on to study for an MEng degree. Progression to the MEng will require excellent second year examination results.
Our MEng in Civil Engineering with Business Managment (H2N2) is a challenging and stimulating degree programme. This degree is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). See www.jbm.org.uk for further information.
We believe in developing the engineer in you, right from the first year. Our courses are designed to give you as many opportunities as possible to tackle problems. These take the form of design projects, which thread through our degree programmes. The design problems increase in complexity from the first year,where you will learn the importance of good conceptual design, until the third year, which sees you spending about half your time working on a real engineering problem provided by our industrial advisers.
At Birmingham, we develop your creativity and technical expertise from the first year and our courses are designed to apply the taught materials in design exercises. The teaching involves design projects, which thread through our degree programmes, increasing in complexity as the course continues.
You'll extend your technical understanding and learn how to apply your knowledge and creativity to solving engineering problems. You'll focus on designing real structures using concrete and steel and broaden your outlook by studying subjects such as ethics, disaster science or sustainability.
During your third year you solve real-world problems through challenging design projects. You work in teams and individually to engineer appropriate and creative design solutions. If you have chosen to include international study in your MEng degree, the third year is your year abroad.
The highlight of the fourth year is a challenging individual research project. You will deepen and specialise your knowledge in an area that particularly interests you, within either structural, water, geotechnical or energy engineering.
Your Birmingham degree is evidence of your ability to succeed in a demanding environment. Employers target Birmingham students for their drive, diversity, communication and problem-solving skills, their team-working abilities and cultural awareness, and our graduate employment statistics have continued to climb at a rate well above national trends.

Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. At Birmingham we advocate an enquiry based learning approach, from the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, qualities that are highly sought after by employers. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we?ll enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
How will I be taught? As a Birmingham student, you are joining the academic elite and have the privilege of learning from world-leading experts in the field of civil engineering. Throughout your studies, you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, thriving on challenge and opportunities to think for yourself.
Personal tutor At the start of your degree, you'll be assigned a Personal Tutor who will remain with you throughout your studies to help you in three important areas: supporting your academic progress, developing transferable skills and dealing with any welfare issues.
Contact hours In your first and second years, the course is delivered as lectures, small group workshops, laboratories, computer-based activities, enquiry-based learning and tutorials. A strong emphasis is placed on design project work in your third year.
Laboratory-based work is an integral part of our civil engineering degree programme, vital to develop your experimental practical skills, and to reinforce concepts introduced in lectures or to explore a particular phenomenon. Lab work takes place mainly in the first two years of the programme when you'll learn all the fundamental concepts, but you can also opt for a laboratory final-year project. You never know, you could be 'playing' in the Schools newly constructed wind tunnel.
Build something big. You could spend a week during your degree on site with your fellow students building a scale version of an iconic structure. It is muddy and exhilarating and our undergraduates rate it as one of the best experiences possible during a civil engineering degree:
Lectures take place in our theatres which, as well as the traditional whiteboard and pen, are equipped with the latest technology, including facilities to show movies, animations and molecular graphics, to record lectures and to interact with 'ask the audience' style electronic voting systems.
Small-group tutorials/personal tutorials run alongside the lecture course, addressing any individual problems you may have and allowing you to consolidate lecture material, as well as test your understanding through problem-solving exercises.
Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) is a group activity which requires you to work in a team, with a variety of assessment methods; in either a group or individually, by written reports and sometimes as a presentation. Based on techniques used in research-led organisations like the University of Birmingham, EBL gives you a research-orientated approach to a problem and helps you to gain essential skills that are highly valued by employers.
Each module is assessed independently with all containing some components of continuous assessment, which usually accounts for a quarter to one third of your marks. Some modules are completely assessed by coursework. Assessment methods include end-of-year examinations in May and June, written assignments, oral and poster presentations, computer-based tests, marked exercises, and laboratory and project reports.
In your first year, assessment is weighted more towards exams at 56%, with coursework accounting for 44% of your mark. By the second year they're weighted equally. In the third year your design projects take precedence and this is reflected in the marks; 55% coursework and 45% examination. These figures are the average for MEng Civil Engineering so they'll vary depending on what options you choose.
During your first year you will also undergo a formal 'transition' review, mentioned above, to see how you are getting on and whether there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your School or Department and can help with any academic issues you encounter. Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre?s aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions with support with mathematics and statistics based problems provided by experienced mathematicians, to workshops on a range of topics including note taking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
Feedback is an essential part of learning and we use a wide range of methods, such as written feedback on your assessments, class feedback sessions and discussions with your tutor. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, highlighting the positives of your work as well as any areas that need more attention. You will also be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you fail an exam we will ensure that you receive particularly detailed feedback to enable you to learn for the future.
Feedback shows that 80-85% of our students were employed or in further study six months after graduation. Of those in employment, 95% were in graduate-level jobs and earning salaries in the region of £23-£29,000 per annum.
As one of our Civil Engineering students, the range of career opportunities open to you when you graduate is enormous. The civil engineering and construction industries offer a wealth of jobs (from engineering consultants to contractors), with work in such fields as structures, geotechnics, water, environmental, highways, and railways. Engineering management jobs could also come from the environmental protection and local government sectors, or your problem-solving skills could, equally, be directed towards a career in finance, law, teaching and/or research.
Superb opportunities exist for you to gain industrial experience before you graduate:
You could add a year to your programme and spend this time in paid employment; usually between your second and third study years. You will gain relevant work experience, and earn money putting into practice the skills and knowledge gained from your degree. Students on placement get involved in practical projects which ask challenging questions that require good engineering answers - and which often lead to sponsorship and/or the offer of a graduate job.
Spending at least two summers in industries will enable you to obtain a 'with industrial experience' degree.
Many top construction companies offer sponsorship to students through the RESPECT scheme.
A rich vein of experience will be available for you to tap into, not only through the University's dedicated Careers Network, but from the School's own industrial liaison officer. From these careers professionals you will gain the skills to help you secure a range of placements from vacation jobs to, eventually, your graduate job.
At School-level, you can opt to add a year to your programme, whatever the course you are studying, and spend this time on placement in industry. You will gain relevant work experience, and earn money putting into practice the skills and knowledge gained from your degree. Students on placement get involved in serious projects which ask searching questions that require good engineering answers - and which often lead to sponsorship and/or the offer of a graduate job. On successful completion of a placement in industry organised by the School, and success in your studies, you will be awarded the Certificate in Industrial Studies to add to your degree and improve your employability prospects.
At University-level, our unique careers guidance service is tailored to academic subject areas, offering a specialised team (in each of the five academic colleges) who can give you expert advice. Our team sources exclusive work experience opportunities to help you stand out amongst the competition, with mentoring, global internships and placements available to you. Once you have a career in your sights, one-to-one support with CVs and job applications will help give you the edge. In addition, our employer-endorsed award-winning Personal Skills Award (PSA) recognises your extra-curricular activities, and provides an accredited employability programme designed to improve your career prospects.
We also offer voluntary work which complements your studies by helping you gain practical experiences in occupational settings while contributing back to society. This can bring new skills that will be useful throughout your future and can make a positive impact on your learning whilst at university. Volunteering enables you to develop skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-confidence and self-discipline all of which can be transferred into your studies.
Whichever of the above forms of careers guidance, or combination of such, you select you will find your prospects for employment after graduation considerably enhanced. If you make the most of the wide range of careers advice we can offer, you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.

Another Horror Movie Pet Peeve ....
What is this pet peeve I am talking about?
When someone gets their head cut off and then their eyes or mouth continue to move around a bit after the decapitation. That fucking annoys me to no end. It's not creepy, it's not cool, it just looks fucking lame. (It is however acceptable if the head in question belongs to a zombie or if the movie is called The Brain That Wouldn't Die!)
And yes, I am well aware that there are documented (or at least alleged) cases of such things happening in real life. It is said that the eyes and mouths of decapitated heads have shown signs of movement several seconds after a beheading. Allegedly, the human brain has enough oxygen stored for metabolism to persist for about 7 seconds after the head is cut off. So yes, it is in fact theoretically possible. But that doesn't change the fact that it just looks totally stupid when it happens in a horror movie. I may be the only one that feels this way and I realize that by stating that it's not such an unbelievable thing i'm kinda defeating my own argument, but this is just the way I feel. I'm sure there's lot of things that could conceivably happen but nevertheless would look lame on film.
I cite scenes from the afformentioned Toolbox Murders (hard to see because of the lighting), Dario Argento's Trauma (which is just totally ridiculous no matter which way you cut it), and the House of Wax remake (which also suffers from poor CGI) to back up my argument .....

My only question is, how to you speak without vocal cords? Wouldn't they have been severed?
- February 23, 2009 at 7:49 PM
- Wings said...
Maybe because it makes the fake, decapitated head look even faker? If that makes sense...
They should just not show the face.
Odd timing, as I just finished watching "Hatchet" and had no problem with the beheading in that flick, maybe because you don't have to look at the face later.
I WAS taken a bit out of the movie at the older woman's death tho... - February 23, 2009 at 8:03 PM
- Johnny said...
Cins - One would think so! That scene is just so ridiculous, much moreso than the others.
Wings - Don't get me wrong, I love a beheading and I don't mind seeing the face of the beheaded afterwards, I just don't want to see any movement of eyes and/or mouth! I'm a huge fan of Hatchet by the way. - February 23, 2009 at 8:11 PM

I knew that one scene bothered you when we watched this! In my opinion I thought alot of the special effects were very unbeleivable (unrealistic) but they didnt annoy me. I appreciate the diversity of the special effects in the different horror movies and I think sometimes theyre done so cheesy and unrealistically for a comedy relief type of effect. I enjoyed the movie though. The killer was extremely creepy when they show his jaw inhinged from side to side and when he is climbing up the center of that creepy triangular staircase. I liked the movie overall. It did indeed make us paranoid. ;]

I have just watched Jason Goes To Hell, so in my opionion none of these scenes (perhaps except the "talking one") looks THAT bad.. :-)
But as you say, it is annoying. - February 23, 2009 at 9:23 PM
- Johnny said...
I haven't seen Jason Goes To Hell in quite a while (and i'm okay with that!). Is there a scene in there where something like this happens or are you just saying that movie is so shitty that shitty scenes in general don't look as shitty as they should? lol
- February 23, 2009 at 10:37 PM
- Bjornabo said...
I am saying that after seeing Jason Goes To Hell EVERYTHING else looks good, an by that i mean REALLY GOOD.
I`ve had a Friday Marathon the last 2 days, and Jason Goes T Hell really was a waste of time in my opinion. There is only about 13 minuttes of Jason in a movie called Jason Goes To Hell, how is that possible? That is like making a Rocky Movie where Rocky stands in the crowd cheering for the star of the movie.In two word: Just stupid. I`m not saying that Jason X and Freddy Vs. Jason was good movies, but thank god they did not end the series with Jason Goes To Hell.
But i`m with you on this, when a head is removed from a body, ALL face-movements is a NO NO. - February 24, 2009 at 1:15 AM
- Johnny said...
I too had a Friday marathon a couple weeks back, which stopped after Manhattan. Never liked Goes To Hell and like you say, Jason's not even in it, so what's the point? He may not technically be in Part 5, but you can just pretend that Roy is him (which I do!) Never really cared for 7-10 all that much either.
And to throw another "it's like" into the mix, naming a movie Jason Goes To Hell and not having Jason in it is like naming a movie Jason Takes Manhattan and having only 10 minutes of the end of the movie take place in Manhattan! O wait ..... ;) - February 24, 2009 at 1:25 AM
- Johnny 666 said...
Well, it certainly pissed me off in Trauma, having severed heads whispering the identity of their killers to the cops minutes after they have been decapitated could only make sense to Argento... How about in Day of the Dead? When that dude gets his head yanked off by the zombies and it continues to wiggle its jaw? I dug it personally.
- February 24, 2009 at 8:03 AM
What about the decapitated Freddy head which winks at the end of 'Freddy vs Jason'? lol
- February 24, 2009 at 9:42 AM
- Johnny said...
Johnny - Didn't mind that one at all, I thought that looked pretty badass actually. His face was moving around AS his head was getting ripped off, so it didn't come off as cheesy.
Quanthor - Add another to the list of exceptions! Freddy's allowed to do such things as he's really not real anyway! =) - February 24, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- Live for films said...
Does my head in as well.
- February 24, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Honestly, never ever had a problem with this. It's a little pedantic, I think.
Oh, and also, Jason Goes To Hell rocks. The unrated version is crimson from head to toe. Try to get over the lack of Jason and you'll see it kicks ass.
It's not like you don't have 11 other films wherein to get your Jason fix. - February 25, 2009 at 6:15 PM
- Johnny said...
It's not so much the lack of Jason, I just don't like the movie. Halloween 3 had no Myers and I loved it and I always tell people to look past the fact that it has no Myers. Is it lame that Jason's not in Jason Goes To Hell? Very. But I could still like the movie regardless. I just don't .....
Pedantic. Good word. But i'm not sure it's the right one for this situation. It's just something I personally do not like to see in movies. Pedantic would be saying something like i'm bothered by tiny little continuity errors in horror movies. - February 26, 2009 at 4:18 AM
Look, fair enough, I guess. I just find it a little weird. I think it can be a really cool effect.
My favourite is in Blade 2, when the reaper gets the top part of his head sliced off, and then the rest of his body gets blown to shit by the UV light. Then there's a lingering shot of the top part of his head with the eyeball rolling around frantically.
But I guess that's different coz it's basically a vampire. Still, I like crazy shit like in that Trauma clip you posted (never actually seen it before, so I can't comment on the way it affects the tone of the film). It's just that sort of whacked out goodness that I can really dig though.
But, i mean, if we're just talking about eyes blinking and moving, I don't really see what bothers you about it so much. Is it just the lacklustre special effects? Would you be okay with it if it looked totally realistic? - February 26, 2009 at 4:16 PM

I just don't like it! End of story! You don't have to agree with me! We all have our different little things that bother us, and this is merely one of mine, sir.

And I appreciate the conversation, but just accept my thoughts on the topic lol. My apologies if I came off like a prick, it just seemed like you were trying to push my buttons. That being said, I still hope to hear more from ya in the future! =)

One last thing ....
I totally encourage you to post your own thoughts on anything I say and whether you agree with or disagree with anything I say. That's what I want more than anything, in fact. So don't think i'm trying to restrict that. It just seemed like you were trying to change my opinion and were getting agitated because you didn't agree with my opinion. But please, by all means, feel free to state your opinions on anything I post. - February 26, 2009 at 7:14 PM
I can't stand it when somebody gets a body part cut off but it stays in place for a minute, then falls off with that annoying sucking sound. What do you think?

I realize I'm about a year or two late w my response to this, but the comment about not being able to speak your killers name bc your vocal cords would be severed? That's true, they WOULD be severed, but if you're talking about the clip from trauma posted here, they aren't really speaking, jus kind of making noise w air from their throat, which can still be done. Im not sure how it works, but I know when someone has a hole in their throat put there to help w some kind of illness, if they plug up the hole they can make noise, its not really a voice, more like whispering, but you can be heard even if your vocal cords are severed.
