Monroe entrepreneur creates professional workspace for women
Monroe: Entrepreneur creates cooperative workspace for women
MONROE --For many female entrepreneurs, like handbag and accessory designer Carissa Black, workspace is a scarce commodity.
"I have been in business making handbags for a number of years, but never had a space outside of my house," Black said.
Enter Tracy Mate, executive director of Thirty-One Gifts, a direct sales company offering purses, totes and accessories in signature black, hot pink and white. With 380 independent consultants on her team, Mate helps women develop their own business. So it seemed a natural extension of her growing company to create the Collaborative Women's Center, which opened recently in Monroe.
The center on the second floor of Gaslight Square on Monroe Turnpike, came from Mate's realization of the need for space for successful businesswomen.
After being laid off from Health Net in Shelton three years ago, Mate said she began Thirty-One Gifts as a supplement to her severance pay, never thinking it would grow into a full-time job.
"I didn't fathom I would ever be as successful as I was, but I was inundating my family," she said. "The UPS guy was at my house every day with 10 to 20 boxes; my phones were ringing at all hours of the night. I needed my own space." And she said she realized other women needed space of their own too.
"If you're working at home, the tasks that could probably take two hours will take between eight and 10 hours to complete between laundry, the meals to cook and messes to clean up. You get interrupted all day long," she said. "Here, you don't have to worry about mopping the floors because a customer is coming over, or if your family isn't being quiet enough."
Mate says the center has a following of about 300 Monroe women with three tenants, including a health and nutrition coach, the Monroe Chamber of Commerce and Black, the handbag designer, who subleases a desk.
Membership to the Center for Collaborative Women costs $31 per month, allowing use of the common space and members may reserve a workstation with a private desk for $200 per month.
"I always felt a constant pull between wanting to succeed at my field and be a good wife and mother. The center helps women carve out that time they need for them," Mate said.
Mate says the center hosts events and classes like watercolors, knitting, furniture restoration, scrapbooking and direct sales, among others, that are open to the public.
For Black, the Collaborative Women's Center gives her the opportunity to teach women how to sew.
"The concept is amazing. It provides a place for people with different skill sets to come together and share their talents with each other and the community," she said.

It has been 36 years since Voyager 1 was dispatched in 1977 on a mission to send back images of Jupiter's atmosphere and volcanic eruptions on one of its moons, Io. Then it was due to travel to Saturn to examine that planet's system of rings and moons. However, after traveling more than 11 billion miles, where is Voyager now? It seems that no one knows for sure.
NASA scientists, including Edward Stone, the father of the program at the US space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, say Voyager 1 has yet to pass beyond the sun's radiation.
However, a controversial study published last week in the Astrophysical Journal claims NASA scientists misinterpreted magnetic field data and the satellite actually passed beyond the boundary known as the heliosheath a year ago. Put another way, Voyager 1 has left the solar system.
According to Marc Swisdak, an astrophysics researcher at the University of Maryland and lead author of the study, Voyager 1 made that giant leap on July 27 last year, when it recorded a permanent drop in heliosphere-produced particles and an increase in galactic cosmic rays from outside the solar system.
"Our three lines of data are consistent with Voyager being outside the solar system," Swisdak said a week ago. "There's a class of particles generated within the solar system and we're not seeing them any more. Then there's the question of the magnetic field. You can get outside the solar system without seeing too much of a shift in the data."
As Voyager clears the distortion, the magnetic data will begin to conform, he said.
"This is the first opportunity to take actual direct measurements of the particles and the magnetic fields," Swisdak said. "Instead of a indirect, complicated chains of arguments, we can say what's actually out there — and that's something rare in astronomy. Voyager is allowing us to see what's really out there."
NASA has yet to confirm the finding. Scientists at the California Institute of Technology, led by Stone, believe the craft is traveling through a mysterious region at the edge of the heliosphere. They have said they will know Voyager has left the solar system when magnetic fields emanate from the long arms of the galaxy, not the sun.
However, after running 100,000 processor hours of computer simulations on a Berkeley supercomputer called Hopper, Swisdak's team claim the agency is failing to account for "magnetic reconnection" — when opposing magnetic field lines come together, snap and form new connections. They hypothesize that the magnetic fields of the sun and of interstellar space join in "magnetic islands" that make the border uneven.
Their study echoes claims made earlier this year and dismissed by NASA in the journal of the American Geophysical Union that Voyager 1 had traveled outside the solar system. This time, the agency has taken a more measured approach.
"The Voyager 1 spacecraft is exploring a region no spacecraft has ever been to before," Stone said. "We will continue to look for any further developments over the coming months and years as Voyager explores an uncharted frontier."
Conceived of to take advantage of a rare alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that occurs once every 175 years, NASA's original program was designed for a "Grand Tour" of the solar system by harnessing the gravity of one planet to swing to the next. The mission's two probes, Voyagers 1 and 2, used satellites designed to last just five years.

I work in the teen department of a public library. We are using your idea for a teen craft program and I wondered if we might use some of your pictures or your video in our promotional stuff. We usually make detailed instructions for the kids, but yours are so good, it doesn't make sense to redo them. We will give you full credit for this great idea.

Sam: How's it going Brian and Greg?
Brian: It's going great! All kinds of fun things going on in 5.3, can't wait to see what happens when everyone gets their hands on it.
Greg: It's a small patch for us in terms of contents, but there's a lot of pretty big changes in there and we want to see what the reaction is.
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street
Sam: 5.3 is an upcoming patch. This interview will be a lot about some of the main goals for PvP balancing and specific class changes in 5.3. So to get started off, what were some of the main goals for PvP balancing in 5.3?
Brian: Well the biggest would obviously be the gear changes. Everybody is well aware of that. I think that the goals with the base resilience change and resilience off gear change was to give players some more survivability. We kind of tune the game assuming that with high gear level everyone has around 65% damage reduction, does about this much damage, and the game's pacing and such was appropriate there. However anyone without gear, particularly in random battlegrounds, or just starting off in arenas were just dieing really quickly. People who did not PvP frequently was having a really negative experience. Common complaints were "I get cc'd and die really quickly." The only way to get around this was to earn all that honor for honor gear before you're even at a starting point. We wanted to increase participation in PvP. This really seems like the place that was fairly easy for us to solve. Originally resilience was put in on gear when we didn't have PvP Power. We Just felt like PvP Power makes a lot of sense, it's a great tool to make PvP gear better than it's ilvl for PvP. But resilience is causing a few problems because of the way without it players explode. So, we made this change. I think it's a good change. Obviously on Twitter and forums we're watching everyone's feedback and see what their concerns are. All in all I think it allows players who play the game a lot to dip into PvP more and hopefully get more players participating. That's really the primarily goal behind that. As far as class balance is concerned, we changed a lot of the talents in 5.2. There were just a lot of adjusting that needed to be down. We wanted to make talents more competitive. As a result some of the things we did may have created situations where game play may have suffered. A lot of class changes in 5.3 were to bring some of those talents back in line by looking at some of the classes that are mandatory at high level of play, and buffing some areas when appropriate.
Sam: 5.3 does have a lot of PvP changes. Some of the concerns were the PvP resilience and PvP Power changes is a great nerf to PvP stats as a whole especially in terms of gemming it. Was this intended?
Brian: Yea it is. I just recently said on Twitter the design intent on PvP Power was to allow us to have a stat on PvP gear to allow PvP gear to be better than the ilvl it showed. The intent was not to make it the one and only stat that PvPers want. I think the way it was did create that situation. Some people do have concerns that everyone will gem Strength and Agility. But it's not like Strength and Agility aren't PvP stats. They are PvP Stats and they really do make you a more powerful player in PvP. The choice you're really making is between defensive and offensive stats. Whether it's stamina or resilience, crit, haste, mastery, whatever. You're making interesting choices when you're gemming. That was what was really behind the gemming change. There were situations that PvE gear had extra gem slots. When you gain a gem slot you lose some primarily stats. But PvP Power as they were budgeted was strong, so it was easy to take a PvE piece and gem it and make it the BIS piece. We wanted to avoid that, something players really wanted. In terms of the stat concern we changed it from 265 pvp power for 1% to 400 pvp power for 1%. That was a point where a fully geared pvp player had 60% more damage. A common complaint is that the fully geared guy is really exploding the people that's 1 tier behind it. We just thought this was really an opportunity to change this, adjust the gap a little bit, reduce damage a little in PvP and make the experience better.
Brian Holinka
Sam: In regards to the PvP Power stat change, some people are concerned about PvE trinkets being an issue next patch. The trinkets right now would provide less than it would in 5.3. Do you guys think this is a legitimate concern?
Brian: I think it's a legitimate concern that people have. In our conversations about this, our primarily concern is when a trinket comes in and really breaks game play. In the instance of the Brutal Shado-Pan Assault that was a case where it hurts the game overall. People were coming in the game, such as a rogue, and would get 10,000 agility because a sub rogue would. Game play suffered, that's not what we want. If you're saying you have the option of getting another PvE piece that's interesting or has another play style and someone might argue that's the BIS, that's their opinion. The PvP trinket will offer more sustain damage but there will be a debate whether this particular trinket is better. In 5.2 none of these trinkets were scaled down but in 5.3 they will be scaled down to ilvl 496. That really adjusts a lot of those values. We made a lot of changes to these trinkets such as bringing their proc magnitude down while increasing their duration and quite honestly those things used to be the case where you gotta get the heroic trinket. In the case of the brutal ones they were 1750 valor, I totally understand PvP players don't want to even consider it to be a BIS, but lets honest be reasonable about the time investment needed to get those.
Sam: Another concern stemming from the PvP stat changes is also the 2pc and 4pc bonus on PvE gear. Another possibility being of course the legendary gear from PvE. What is the goal in terms of balancing PvP and PvE gear for PvP?
Brian: Like I said before, one of the main thing we wanted before is we want PvP gear be the best. It's what we strive for. If there is a situation where someone argues this PvE piece in this situation is better than this PvP piece, that's kind of on a case to case basis that they don't break the overall view and game play experience. But there's a lot of debates. People hit me up on twitter with arguments this or that being better. But there are certainly things you will lose if you break your PvP set bonus that can actually be quite valuable. PvP isn't always be about hitting a target dummy, it's about mobility, control, and movement. A lot of utility is actually given in the PvP set bonuses. Time is going to tell, but we do have an option to tune it.
Greg: In our intent, someone who gets started in PvP who has an awesome raid set is great for getting in the door. But you should want to transition into PvP gear pretty quickly and we'll keep adjusting things to make sure this happens.
Sam: I believe some cosmetic incentives are being added to PvP in 5.3 such as a tabard. Are there any more of this planned for the future?
Brian: Yea we have some interesting ideas for the next patch and for the next expansions. It's a challenge for the amount of things we can put in within a given time. But we have some pretty cool things and we want to capitalize on that. I think to be honest though. cosmetics are cool, but for some people it's not appealing. While it's great for some people, and we do want to do those cool cosmetic rewards, I don't know if it's enough. We're looking for even more, and opportunity to do more if we can.
Sam: Going into things for increasing arena participation, I would say cosmetics are one of the things that can help out, and as you said there are other things as well. Looking at the forums, some people have talked about the issue since there are no longer any upgrades or elite gear at 2.2. People are now gearing faster and thus there is less incentive to keep playing during the season.
Brian: I think the primarily thing that gets people to participate in arenas is getting gear. The majority for our players are in the 1800 to 2200 cap. They come in, they cap, they get a piece of gear, they get excited and they play some more games. They try out some of their new gear and they're pretty happy. I think we're kind of dealing with a situation where we introduced upgrades in 5.1, and because that was going to require and additional 20,000 conquest points to fully gear we increased the conquest cap for everyone. That meant no upgrades were a big idea, and elite gears were gonna cost problems in the future. Now everyone is going to gear quicker. I don't think a popular decision is to revert back to the upgrades in 5.1, so we just need to find other things that are interesting for players to spend conquest on. I think what's also positive about that change with the addition of the new conquest cap in 5.3 players will try to play alts. I know I have an alt I've been kind of holding off to experience what the conquest cap is like. I think it'll be easier to gear alts than ever before. It's easier to catch up, I think there's always that as an option too.
Sam: Going into some class specific questions for this interview, I saw that the recent DK nerfs got reverted. Was this a PvE or PvP change?
Brian: That was primarily a PvE motivated change. There was kind of concerns about the main way to play a DK. Get your really positive AP increasing stats up, get out your diseases, and kind of juggle them in the fight. The first attempt to fix this was adjusting things such as Unholy Might and Festering Strike and such. Through further investigations it was really the issue with Tricks of the Trade being applied to DKs. We kind of decided to revert those changes as they were not motivated from PvP to begin with.
Sam: PvE and PvP changes seem to collide very often, do you guys believe that balancing both may require a lot of specific PvP and PvE only changes? An example would be Find Weakness in 5.3.
Brian: Yes, and when we do it. Find weakness is a great example where PvE needed a buff and it would've cost big problems to PvP. We keep it in mind and Frost bomb is another example. We try not to do it too often, it's a lot of things to keep track of. We're the designers and people on Arena Junkies are really passionate players that really keep up on all the changes, but a lot of players are not. To ask our general player base that your spell does this and it does half damage or 25% or something like that, it's really not something we want to do too often. Especially hey we want eviscerate to hit 10% less on players. That's really inconsistent and a tough thing. We usually do it when it's really a significant thing such as Find Weakness is 50% less and Frost bomb is 40% less.
Greg: There's also this persistent, I'll just call it a myth, that if we just bite the bullet and make 2 versions of every spell suddenly we'll have class balance nailed and it'll never be a problem again. I'm pretty confident if we went ahead and split sub rogues into 2 abilities on every ability with different damage numbers you'll still see players saying why they can't just tune down this one ability that's costing pvp burst problem. In other words players will still want us to make changes even if we have the numbers split up, I don't think it'll suddenly make players feel their class is viable in every situation
Sam: Warlock's Gateway is being changed next patch. What was the goal behind changing it to be kill-able but with a shorter cast time? Was it like meant to be a buff, a nerf, or something to change it up?
Brian: We didn't really like the play style of the gateway, matches played out in a very binary way. Either Warlocks got the Gateway initially and the game played out in a certain way or you got to him in time and stop the gateway and then the match goes completely different. We kind of wanted Warlocks, if it's something they are going to be using, they should be able to use it. But we also want it to have a different counter. Right now it depends on who you ask, the jury is still out on how these changes are working. We feel like being able to put it up and players being able to kill it, it'll be going up and down. We'll see how that play style is going to go for a little bit. Just kind of being up and not being up, it just didn't seem like it made a lot of sense.
Sam: Some Hunters have been wondering why nerf Exotic Beasts and Pet CCs at the same time? Exotic Beasts were toned for BM nerfs which many people considered was much needed for that specialization in arena. However, the Pet CCs would hurt Marksman and Survival more.
Brian: In general we felt like everybody had that CC issue, that instant cast CC chain you know. Silencing Shot, Frost Trap, Pet Stun, there were just a lot going out there. BM is just extra bad in that sense. BMs have Beastial Wrath which is a really strong core ability they have. The idea to also have that CC is an issue. If we had to choose one of those 2 things Beastial Wrath was more iconic and decided to keep that. We thought some hunters CC needed to be reduced. At first we tried to put Scatter In the same diminishing return as Frost Trap. Players came back to us that hunters have always been kind of doing Scatter Trap. They have it in their muscle memory to Scatter Trap. We felt the right thing to do was to change pet CC. I think increasing the CD and not changing exotic beast was less of a change for BM hunters. We wanted to make sure it was a change to the hunter class and not to one spec only.
Sam: In the history of changes a lot of nerfs and buffs are really large, which usually changes the "balance" of one class from one to another such as warrior and rogues last patch. Warriors were arguably the top notch class in 5.2 but kind of went to the bottom barrel. Rogues basically had the opposite happen to them. Do you guys think smaller changes would be more ideal or how would you look at it?
Brian: Obviously when we can we would like to make smaller changes. I think what you saw with rogues in 5.2 was that there were a lot of calls for their survival to be improved. So we made Prep baseline, took Cloak off, so they weren't constantly unpeelable for 12 seconds, and moved it to a short CD. I think these were good changes, but what pushed rogues over the edge was we tried to create some talents to make them more attractive and give them variety. Shuriken Toss, Mark for Death, and Cloak and Dagger, those were all probably a little bit too much. 5.3 Rogues were really about reigning in those talent changes. We kept the survivability changes the same but we wanted to reign in the unpeelable Cloak and Dagger, the ranged play style of Shuriken Toss, and those were I think really smart changes. We didn't also nerf Mark for Death and a bunch of other changes. The Find Weakness change was mainly for burst on higher armor targets. We thought that wasn't appropriate. We made some changes in 5.2 that didn't mean to be buffs, but for talent choices to be more interesting and we needed to reign those in. In 5.2 Warriors were a really good class due to their control. We're reverting the defensive stance change. We nerfed it because they sat in it so much, but with the rage change we kind of needed to put that back in line. We like the ideas of switching between stances of offensive and defensive, but we didn't like that they could be both at the same time. Once we realized the rage changes in defensive stance really made them want to be in offensive stance we felt we could buff defensive stance again.
Greg: If you remember in the beginning of the season we had problems with Mages, Warriors, and BM hunters. We applied a few hot-fixes to tone them, and it just didn't work. Mages were like okay, I get we're overpowered but we're getting nerfed every week and none of them are the right ones. So we hit 5.2 with some really heavy nerfs on something like warriors. In retrospect some of them were too strong, but you know we just wanted to make sure we weren't nickeling down this ability, and that ability, and not watch their actual power change at all.
Sam: The final question for today, I think a lot of 5.3 changes were made in regards to helping solve the short burst game issue. There's been a lot of changes to make people not die instantly especially in arena. I think the Find Weakness nerf and Hunter CC nerfs will greatly help this regard. The PvP Power stat change also helps lower burst. However, at the same time I know there are a lot of 25minute fights, particularly in caster compositions due to their CC potential. This happens more in higher ratings. Do you think something can fix this in the future?
Brian: I guess we'll have to see a lot of matches. We'll have to see what specific specs run into this kind of problem. You know like caster classes, there's a lot of caster classes, is there one of these caster classes that run into this more? That's kind of what we need to look into. It's hard to look into this without finding out which class it really is. Are you seeing this on the PTR, or are you kind of judging on whats happening on 5.2?
Sam: Well, personally wise I played a bit of PTR and I would say most casters run into this problem. One example I know there was a Warlock, Elemental Shaman, Restoration Druid team that timed out against many teams a week ago on live and forced teams to stop queing. But sometimes there's the Mage Warlock teams, Shadow Priest Elemental Shaman, and I know Shadow Priests are getting changed a lot so this composition is probably a worse example. I think it's mainly from the CCs that casters have. If something happens they have the utility to just start fearing and sheeping them. I also think it puts a mental thing into players as well that makes them act more "turtle" and just keep living they don't want to just suddenly die and lose after such a long game.
Brian: I see, so players are playing very defensively, and kind of like shutting you down during kill times?
Sam: Yea, and I think the worst comes from when I watch other players play Healer plus 2 casters versus Healer plus 2 Casters. If anything happens in these match ups, the other team can literally just hit their CC buttons to stop it. If one team decides to sit behind a pillar it's really hard for the game to actually end.
Brian: Yea, I think that's a problem we'll kind of have to talk about, and come up with some ideas. I think it's ironic that one of the main things is people have to die in arenas right? People complain about burst situations, but with the way the game is played out right now someone has to die eventually and that means some things will have to be bursty. It'll be interesting, and we'll definitely keep an eye on it and if it's a big problem we'll try to provide incentives for players to play more offensively. Just purposely trying to draw a game out is just not the right way to play. We might need to see what is exactly happening to cause tie breakers, and if we see a situation where people are just stalling.
Greg: We end up with burst being dominate because we're so paranoid with the match that goes on forever and no one can kill anyone until the healers run out of mana. We often error on the side of too much burst, which is of course not too fun either, but we try hard not to overcompensate.
Sam: I think that'll be all the questions for today, once again thanks for the interview Brian and Greg!
Brian: Yup, and we're still looking at it. It's one thing to look at all the patch notes and come up with things hypothetically. It's hard for a lot of players to go on PTR and get all that raid gear to compare to the PvP gear. PTR participation is not the same as a live experience. We'll be keeping an eye on it.

I didn't see this posted anywhere. Thought those of us who can't get enough of Dillinger and/or Public Enemies might enjoy reading it.
ROGER EBERT by Roger Ebert
Michael Mann saw the Biograph Theater at 2433 N. Lincoln for the first time while riding past it on a streetcar when he was 8 or 9. His mother, Esther, told him, "That's the old Biograph Theater where they killed Dillinger." She took a bow from the audience at the Chicago premiere of his movie "Public Enemies," which leads to a corpse on the Biograph outside.
After he graduated from film school in London, Mann moved to Webster Street, a few blocks away from the theater. "I used to go there when it was an art theater," he told me. The theater then and now figured on anyone's tour of historic Chicago sites; the legend of John Dillinger and the Lady in Red is woven into the city's memory.
When Mann rebuilt two blocks of Lincoln Avenue for his film, even laying down the streetcar tracks, "these forensics experts from the Chicago Police Department came to our set and they rolled out this long piece of paper, and it was every foot of the 88 feet he walked from there to here where he got shot. So when Johnny Depp gets shot in our movie and he goes down and his head hits the ground, he's looking at the exact brick wall and that old wooden telephone pole that Dillinger looked at when Dillinger was down. Dillinger lived for about three minutes after he was shot. And what was in Dillinger's eyes was in Johnny Depp's eyes, and it became somewhat magical."
Same thing way north in Manitowoc, Wis., where Mann filmed at the original Little Bohemia Lodge, scene of the bungled attempt by the FBI to capture the Dillinger gang. They got away, but innocent civilians were killed.
"Went to the real Little Bohemia," Mann said, "I was surprised it was still there and unchanged. So the room that Johnny Depp is in is Dillinger's bedroom, and it was that bed, and when he puts his hand on the doorknob, that's the doorknob that John Dillinger used. Even the toilet fixtures are unchanged. Everything was exactly the same. And we used the exact route that Dillinger broke out of. They went across through a red bedroom, and they got out that window over the roof and down and escaped to the north along the bank of the lake, and Baby Face Nelson went up south. If there'd been a better way to do it, I probably would have used it, but there wasn't. The way they suppressed the FBI assault and then escaped out the back and scooted off in the woods was brilliant.
"We even had his clothes, by the way. We had his clothes, his shaving kit, everything he abandoned in Little Bohemia."
For Mann, "Public Enemies" was a homecoming. His first theatrical feature, made after much work for television, was the powerful "Thief" (1981), starring James Caan. He filmed it in Chicago. Since then he has established himself as an important director of intelligent action-oriented films, most notably "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992), "Heat" (1995, with the first pairing of De Niro and Pacino), "The Insider" (1999, seven Oscar nominations), the ambitious biopic "Ali" (2001), and "Collateral" (2004).
For this film, he drew information from a well-regarded book by Bryan Burrough, "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI."
"What mystified me," Mann said, "was that Dillinger had no idea of a future. Not even a concept of future plans. You just go and do what you're gonna do for as long as you can do it, and it may short and sweet, but one hell of a ride."
Mann was in a room in the Peninsula Hotel, talking now about the man who has occupied his thoughts for four years. He is known for preparing a film meticulously.
"They were there for the intensity of the ride. The grimness he came from was so extreme he never even questioned the bountifulness of the moment. If you're lucky enough to have a job in 1933, you're making $500 a year. They were kings; they put their hands in their pockets and they had $20,000 in cash in there. They believed in fate. Expressions like 'There's a bullet with your name on it,' or 'When your time's up, your time's up.' In other words, a kind of Calvinism without God -- of predetermination."
Popular fancy made Dillinger a sort of Robin Hood, an anti-establishment outlaw in the Great Depression. The banks were failing. Dillinger was robbing banks? Good for him.
"I don't think he was Robin Hood," Mann said, "unless Robin Hood is defined as 'steal money from the rich to keep it all for yourself.' People cheered at who he was taking the money from. I think he was superb at managing his public image. He was great at it, and it was all very conscious and tactical by design. He knew how to behave. He was really charming. The newspaper accounts of that period, they're shocked at how well-spoken he is, how charismatic, how he cracked jokes. People would say that after being in his presence for two or three minutes you thought he was your best friend. This was all manipulative. There was nothing that wasn't self-serving or designed."
In working on Dillinger's manner, Mann and Johnny Depp benefitted from the single news account that discussed his speaking style. It was written by a photographer.
"The lady who played the cashier at the Biograph -- she gave me an article written by her husband's grandfather. He was a photographer named Sol Davis who worked for the old Chicago Times. He read that Dillinger had been arrested in Tucson and was gonna be flown to Crown Point, Ind., and he knew they'd obviously land in Chicago because in those days commercial air travel was only four years old. And there were 17 stops from Tucson, and one of the stops was St. Louis.
"So Sol Davis took the train to St. Louis and he bought a ticket on the airplane, a commercial airplane, so he and his camera could get on the flight from St. Louis to Chicago with Dillinger. And he shot all the famous pictures of Dillinger where you see him handcuffed in his seat on the airplane with a blanket around his shoulders and taking a nap. And he did the only interview with Dillinger in which someone wrote down Dillinger's speech patterns; the only place we really have Dillinger actually speaking and it being recorded is in Sol Davis' article."
Depp also conveys a coldness and steel core beneath the popular exterior.
"I think Dillinger had an invincible spirit. One of the things I marveled at about him, with all the attrition of all the people who were close to him, with the devastation all around him, was that he never gave up. Dillinger was a guy who was just so tough, mentally tough, not just physically tough, but mentally so tough. He was 5'8"; he wasn't a giant, but just so strong-willed and of an indomitable spirit."
He was toughened in the Indiana State Prison, Mann found.
"They had institutionalized forms of torture, of beatings, suffocation of people in straitjackets -- it was horrendous, it was a hellhole. And he survived that at the top tier of that kind of population, so this was a tough, tough guy."
He also got his education there.
"These are guys who could plan in exquisite detail very disciplined robberies and getaway routes. There was a whole system invented by a guy named Herbert K. Lam, from who the expression 'on the lam' comes from. He influenced Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. He'd been in the Prussian military, and he applied military tactics to the science of robbing banks. He mentored Walter Dietrich, and Walter Dietrich mentored John Dillinger, and that's where John Dillinger got his skills. So the time in prison was a post- graduate course in bank robbery -- how you're gonna employ the methodology.
"They'd lay on a score for two weeks before they'd take it down. It was very strict; they had caches of gasoline on three different escape routes. They had a detailed tenths- of-a-mile list on the dashboard, and they would take one route or another, and everybody had their appointed job. One guy was Red, who's driving the getaway car, and all he cares about is driving that getaway car. The lobby man, Pete Pierpont, he's controlling the lobby, and he's not gonna worry about anything coming at him from outside because the outside man, Homer Van Meter, he will take care of everything on the outside. The vault man doesn't worry about the lobby or the outside and the tellers because he's just looking at the vault because Charles Mackley is taking all the cash from the tellers. So it was a disciplined, small unit, and they were in and out as fast as possible."
That's where the mystifying part came in.
"With all this planning," Mann said, "it never occurred to these guys to steal $250,000 and then go to Brazil. There was no idea of the future; just this intense, white-hot burning drive. And in Dillinger's case, he lived his whole life in 13 months, that's it. He hits a bank, gets shot up, gets wounded, gets patched up and all that occurs in 10 days. They go to Sioux Falls -- no, Mason City, Iowa, then they're suddenly in Wisconsin, then they decide to go to Florida. And everything is happening in days and weeks, and it's all this insane ride. It's only when Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) enters his life that, for obvious reasons, he starts to have even the idea that there's something beyond the immediate right now."
Dillinger shares the spotlight in "Public Enemies" with the legendary FBI agent Melvin Purvis, who became famous for Dillinger's killing, although the case may eventually have driven him to taking his own life in 1960.
"Melvin Purvis left the FBI," Mann said. "Hoover hounded him. It was like a personal form of blacklisting. He wrote letters to whatever job Purvis had. Hoover expected to get the benefit of killing Public Enemy No. 1. Purvis got the credit. Dick Tracy is kind of modeled on Melvin Purvis. So Hoover sidelined him, kicked him out of the FBI and then hounded him.
"The FBI was totally cooperative with us about this. They had no sensitivity about Hoover at all -- zero. In Washington they said, 'Is there anything else you'd like?' And I said, yeah, pull out the Melvin Purvis file. They went to get the file. There's one sheet of paper in it. One sheet of paper. His employment application. That was it. They were stunned. It was like Stalin erasing all these pictures of the politburo with Trotsky. Same thing. Hoover erased Melvin Purvis."

Re: Michael Mann interview by Roger Ebert
Wow, I'm just stunned that the police forensics guys had details, exact details of Dillinger's walk down that alley, but Melvin Purvis is erased from the FBI files. That just took my breath away.
Good interview. I'd love to read the interview by Sol Davis. Time to get my books out.

Thanks for posting that here, Bluebird. It was a great read!
You can't judge a book by its cover.
The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story.

Two Excellent interview...I may even see a question or two for the discussion lurking about in there.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -
Wow! What a ride!

The Supper Club Dinner Party @ The Big 4
On March 20th, The Supper Club hosted a spectacular dinner party at the historic Big 4 Restaurant at The Scarlet Huntington Hotel located atop beautiful Nob Hill. Stylish San Francisco members gathered in the iconic lounge for a festive evening amongst new and old faces, to a backdrop of live piano music. Guests mixed and mingled while enjoying a delicious selection of reception cocktails — from a Ketel One Martini and Bulleit Bourbon Old Fashioned to a Cuatro Grande with Don Julio Blanco.
The evening's festivities continued with a seated dinner in the secret private dining room - the Central Pacific Room. Warm green tones and dim lighting paired with twinkling candles and stunning yellow florals set the scene for a fabulous feast ahead. As guests settled in their seats, Diageo Brand Ambassador, Ashley Alvarez, delighted the crowd with details about the featured spirits – Ketel One, Bulleit Bourbon and Don Julio.
The three-course dinner featuring contemporary dishes designed by Executive Chef Brendan Dion included an indulgent Ranch New York Strip and a Bluenose Sea Bass paired perfectly with a tasting duo of the 2011 and 2012 The Mascot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley – introduced by Nikita Stone, Director of The Mascot. To top it off, the signature Big 4 Bread Pudding was served for dessert, as Chef Brendan emerged from the kitchen to make a special guest appearance at the table. Members toasted to San Francisco's rich cultural past while making friendships promising to last long into the future.
