Movie News
Director Sacha Gervasi talks about the difficulties of bringing Hitchcock to life and hires Quint to produce Hitchcock 2!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. It's awards season, so you're going to see a couple of after-the-fact interviews from me. First up is Hitchcock director Sacha Gervasi and it's quite an interesting chat. We cover a lot of interesting ground, from striking the balance of fact vs fiction to Jamie Lee Curtis' embracing of Scarlett Johansson playing her mother and talk of where a sequel would go.
As you'll see below, I'm totally now a big Hollywood producer because of my brilliant thoughts on what a sequel to Hitchcock should be. When that sweet, sweet studio money train comes pulling into the station I'm going to be rich, y'all!
Seriously, though, it's a fun chat and Gervasi had an obvious passion for the man, his work and the very talented team he pulled together for this film.
Enjoy the interview!
Quint: My first exposure to Alfred Hitchcock was through Alfred Hitchcock Presents reruns. That show was on constant rotation when I was a kid…
Sacha Gervasi: And they still are now, man! I was watching Chiller TV the other day and there he is! Crazy.
Quint: I think me having such deep and fond memories of Alfred Hitchcock Presents really helped me dive right into your movie because you bookend it just like it was an episode of the show, with Hitch addressing the viewer with a wry bit of dark humor.
Sacha Gervasi: I think that was important, you know. That was obviously a conscious choice that we made. Stephen Rebello's book (Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho), which I think is one of the most brilliant exhaustive studies of the making of a film, is amazing. You get everything, like how it took 7 days to shoot the shower scene, the nuance of the different dummy heads for Mrs. Bates and all that type of detail that I love. Stephen was like, "Look, if we make a film, I want to do an emotional, entertaining movie in the spirit of Hitchcock. He wouldn't have wanted the film about him to be dull."
John McLaughlin did a terrific job on the script. It's funny and tender and also tense, at times. What we wanted to do was embrace that spirit and not lose the humor. There's real darkness in the film. You've got Ed Gein throwing a woman's body in a tub and going, "I'm going to get the knives," in (Hitchcock's) mind. It's pretty fucked up, right?
That had to be there because that's also true about Hitchcock. The meanness, the darkness, all the stuff that made him very difficult to be around… but we didn't want to lose that lightness. We wanted to remind the audiences that he was an entertainer. He entertained for the people! The last movie he screened in his office was Smokey and the Bandit! You can imagine the entertainment value he got when all these generous, but polo-necked Frenchmen started showing up in the '60s. (in a French accent) "Alfred, why did you juxtapose the lifeboat with the fog? What were you saying?" He was obviously massively flattered for being appreciated and for people to be reading so much into his work and being passionate about it, but I think there was part of him that probably thought that was funny. He never forgot he was a populist and we wanted to stay true to that.
So, there's two things going on in the film. There's the real life struggle that Hitchcock had to make Psycho and there's also an emotional exploration of what might have been in his psyche, so we're having several levels of stuff going on with the idea that it's all hopefully entertaining.
Quint: Something that I think is a really interesting choice is how you portrayed Hitchcock himself as a voyeur. It's kind of obvious when you think about it, because it's a director's job to watch from the shadows…
Sacha Gervasi: Absolutely.
Quint: But I like the echoes you have of Hitchcock's real life mirroring the fictional film he was making, like how he had the Norman Bates peephole in his office.
Sacha Gervasi: We extrapolated, but a lot of the stuff that was in there happened. For example, we had two producers on the film: Alan Barnette, one of the original producers who had been with the film for years, and Tom Pollock. Alan Barnette was on the lot at Universal and he was taken to see Hitch's office where there was a peephole. Tom Pollock ran Universal for 12 years. He saw the peephole!
The point is, that peephole was in his office. That's a great jumping off point to then go in and say, "Well, what the fuck was it there for? What was he looking at?" Look, all of his movies are about voyeurism, clearly. What we tried to do was take the essence of truth and build on that, in a hopefully entertaining and cinematic way. At the end of the day, that was probably very close to what actually happened. I mean, we know he was obsessed with these women, with sex, death and murder and these wonderful POV shots, which we echo when he's in the kitchen with Alma and we go in on her neck as she's crunching the vegetables. It's like we're in his mind.
That's why the work endures. It's so rich and clearly so bizarrely personal. That's why we're still talking about it 52 years later. It was a really fun process to find the balance between the real stuff and the fantasy stuff and sort of throw it up and see how people respond to it.
Quint: I'm a huge fan of character actors and you nabbed some big ones for this movie. Kurtwood Smith…
Sacha Gervasi: Kurtwood! Yes! We got Kurtwood and Michael Stuhlbarg. By the way, there are also the lesser known actors that people don't really know yet. I have a group of actors and what we do is when we get a script that either one of the actors is going to do or I'm going to direct and they come over to my house, we all have dinner and we sit all around (and go over the script). A lot of the actors in that group are in the movie.
Kai Lennox, who you may remember from Boogie Nights and he was in Beginners last year, he plays Hilton Green, the first A.D. Currie Graham, who is this hilarious comedy actor, is the one who says, "Well thank God we've got Cinderfella for the holidays." He's one of those actors. Wally Langham, from Larry Sanders and CSI, he's one of those actors, too and he comes in plays Saul Bass very briefly in the movie.
What I'm saying is I've got these great actors that I fucking love and I've tried to put the people I love in, from the top roles to the smallest roles.
Quint: You decided early on that you wanted to make the movie about Alfred and Alma, with the making of Psycho as the backdrop to their story. As a fan, were you ever tempted to divert more of the focus to the making of the movie? Like, "Maybe we should try to squeeze in Martin Balsam?"
Sacha Gervasi: I tried to find the balance and in the end what I found is that emotionally you're locked into that relationship and those characters. As a fan, though, I had all these scenes which I took out. I had this whole thing about the prop dummy heads for Mrs. Bates. You had these guys coming up with all these different Mrs. Bates dummies and you had all the shit that was going on about how they actually filmed that shot of Balsam going down the stairs and how long it took… I could have made a whole other movie just of that.
Quint: You should do a sequel that's not a sequel, but that's happening at the exact same time as the events in Hitchcock, but focused on the ins and outs of the actual production.
Sacha Gervasi: That's a brilliant idea!
Quint: You could follow James D'Arcy's Anthony Perkins during the filming.
Sacha Gervasi: What do you think of that? That's actually a really fucking good idea. That could be really interesting, man. Seriously! In other words, we'd basically just go back to the Rebello book and just take all of those key episodes and instead of Psycho being in the background of the relationship, the relationship pops up against (the making of Psycho). That's fucking brilliant!
Quint: Do it!
Sacha Gervasi: That's such a great idea. Quint, do you want to be a producer?
Quint: Sure! Let's do it!
Sacha Gervasi: (laughs) I just want you to know we're all getting paid shit!
Quint: That's fine, as long as I get to hang out with Tony Hopkins we're all good.
Sacha Gervasi: No problem! By the way, he'd love that. He'd think that was a brilliant idea.
Quint: Just seeing how good James D'Arcy's Perkins is in the movie and how good Scarlett Johansson is as Janet Leigh…
Sacha Gervasi: Everyone comes up to me and says, "I really wanted more Perkins." If we could follow him for the whole movie… But also, it's a good sign. When people come out of a movie and they want more, that's a good thing. Maybe we'll deliver it to them! I'm totally serious! This is kind of a brilliant idea. It's the flip side, we just flip it around the other way. Quint! Not just an interviewer, but also perhaps producer of… What do we call it? Hitchcock 2: This Time It's Techy?
Quint: It depends on who the focus is going to be, really.
Sacha Gervasi: If you're saying we should follow Scarlett and follow Perkins, we should also follow the actual technical making of the film. (claps hands) Here's what we can do! The Psycho (shower) scene took seven days to shoot, do you realize the movie could take place just over those seven days? Why don't we just do the shower scene with all the other shit that goes on around it!
Quint: Yes! We can get to know the poor stand-in that had to have her face painted black so the camera didn't pick up any detail of Mother's face…
Sacha Gervasi: Her name was Margo (Epper). We had a whole scene with Hitch and Margo that I wanted to do, but again… it was another movie. It was this movie! It was a very funny scene that John wrote. Janet Leigh's body double is standing there naked and Jack, the cameraman, is coming up and measuring for the lens of the camera. She's standing there stark naked and Hitchcock is talking to Margo very casually, saying "So, Margo, have you ever sampled any of the fine dry Rieslings?" and she says, "If Safeway doesn't have it, I don't buy it." It's this bizarre little dinner party chat that goes on while Hitchcock is standing there next to a naked woman and holding a tape to her breasts. So, that could be in the movie…
Quint: And you can finally get your Mrs. Bates heads in there, too.
Sacha Gervasi: Exactly! The corpse dummy head thing went on for years. He got really upset! I think there were, like, fifteen of them. That's a brilliant idea…
Quint: The way it could really work is if you have overlapping moments from Hitchcock, but seen through the actor's point of view. Kind of like Back to the Future II, when Marty goes back to 1955 and sees the events from the first film from a different angle.
Sacha Gervasi: This is genius, Quint! And then you could show both films together! God, that's brilliant! Alright. Listen, I'm available.
Quint: (laughs) Well, let me know when all the paperwork is settled!
Sacha Gervasi: You never know, man! You never know.
Quint: I'm fascinated with behind the scenes stuff. Listen, I'm not a massive fan of The Artist, but I love what The Artist has wrought. I love that there's now a lot of behind-the-scenes of Old Hollywood films that have come in the wake of the movie, like Hitchcock and the upcoming Walt Disney/PL Travers movie starring Tom Hanks…
Sacha Gervasi: Saving Mr. Banks, yeah.
Quint: Ed Wood, Sunset Boulevard… I just love movies about the making of movies.
Sacha Gervasi: Did you notice Jeff Cronenweth's brilliant thing… When The Hitchcocks arrive at Paramount for the first time and we swing down off the Paramount (entrance), you realize Jeff is doing Sunset Boulevard! That's the Sunset Boulevard shot. There's constant reference to film history in there for the buffs who look.
There are also these tiny performance things that Tony does, like the scene at the pool when he says "Remember when we were young? I want to feel that freedom again." There are two things in that scene that I think are indicative of how brilliant the performance is. One, as Alma's getting out of the pool, he takes the flap of his jacket and he throws it across his belly. The other thing is, when he says, "I want to feel that freedom again," for the first time you hear his cockney accent. The truth of his background, being the son of a greengrocer and poulterer, his working class roots come through just a tiny bit in the voice. I love those little touches that people don't necessarily notice, but they're there. I would urge the people to come back and look at the film again and look at these little things that are in there because I think there's a lot of richness there.
Quint: Before we wrap up, we should talk a little about Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh. She's really very good in the movie and seemed to throw herself into the role. Could you talk a little about working with her on the film?
Sacha Gervasi: I was rehearsing with Tony Hopkins at my house, he was working on the script with me. Scarlett was going to come over and tell us whether she wanted to work on the movie or not. It was the first meeting.
She came over and we stopped working and she said, "What are you doing?" I said, "Well, we're just working on (the movie)." She said, "Can I see?" We were working on the peephole scene, just figuring out how to do it, and she said, "Why don't I do this?" It was a meeting about whether or not she would do the movie that turned into a rehearsal. Immediately. And she just went for it.
Within a week she phoned me up and said, "Listen, I've spoken with Jamie Lee Curtis, I've read all of Janet Leigh's books," because you know she wrote novels…
Quint: I'm actually in the middle of reading her Making Of Psycho book right now.
Sacha Gervasi: Right. She also wrote three fiction novels and Scarlett read them all!
Quint: In a week!
Sacha Gervasi: Yeah! She did all the research, she had been in touch with Jamie Lee, Jamie Lee was so thrilled to have the chance to have Scarlett play her mother that she shared personal memorabilia and photos and home movies and I thought that was incredibly generous of her.
I think it was important (to Jamie Lee), from what Scarlett told me, that that relationship between Janet Leigh and Hitchcock be represented for what it was. Yes, it was tough during the shooting. Yes, the shower scene was intense. Yes, he was mean and crazy and difficult at times. All directors are when they're under pressure.
Quint: Except for you, of course. (laughs)
Sacha Gervasi: I was crazy! But what I'm saying is that she felt that despite all that their relationship was really warm and tender. You'll notice, if you go back, that Janet Leigh only had wonderful things to say about Hitchcock, for the whole of her life! Similarly, Eva Marie Saint still to this day. Similarly, Kim Novak.
Quint: I remember Eva Marie Saint coming out after the Tippi Hedren stuff.
Sacha Gervasi: That's right. They were like, "Okay, that may have happened. No disrespect, the last thing we'd want to say to you is that you didn't have a horrible experience… but that was not the experience for most, if not all of the other leading ladies who worked with Hitchcock."
I think part of the point of our film is to say, "Look, whatever happened in that situation was that situation, but it wasn't the whole story." I think on the vast subject of Hitchcock and the complexity and contradiction of his character there is more to say than that episode that happened in The Birds. Again, I wasn't there and clearly it was traumatic and one wouldn't wish that on their worst enemy, but at the same time there were many other sides to Hitch and I think we shouldn't judge a man on one particular episode, we should judge him on his whole life.
That's what I hope people bring from the film. It's not an easy "he was good/he was bad." He was both! He's human! He was this creative genius and it brings up this debate about the difference between the man and the work. I don't know if you've had this, but I have idols in film and I won't say who they are, but I've met them and have been so disappointed because you realize the work is not the man. In Hitchcock's case, I think it was actually very close, but the point being he's still a man. That's why he's so rich and fascinating to talk about.
And that's the interview. As you now know, I'm kind of a big deal producer, so I've sold off most of my earthly goods, packed up my cat and my most treasured geek collectibles and am waiting for that Hitchcock 2 paperwork to come in. Any day now… any day now…

I'd love to see a 2nd film
by KingKirby
I understand that the desire to focus on Hitch and Alma for "Hitchcock", but I definitely would love to see another film about the actual making of the film...picking out the right head for mother, making the Bates mansion out of parts from other houses on the Universal lot (which this film tries to make us think was on the Paramount lot and was viewable from Hitch's studio office - you only see the mansion in a shot that I actually think is a professionally painted copy of the Bates Mansion model kit); building the motel...there's so much behind the scenes stuff that I want to see reenacted and following Perkins through the film would be terrific. I think since this was called "Hitchcock", call the next one: "Hitchcock: Making Psycho". Good call, Quint!

Your contract needs to be a 3 pic deal. Points in lieu of salary. Throw in a screenwriting credit, and you'll be good to go. Like your idea. Do some nifty flashbacks to Hitch when he came over to Hollywood. Good stuff you old salty dog.

Three books in a week!...
by Terry Powell
...C'mon, that impresses you? That's her fuckin job. I easily read at least two a week and I have a job working about 50 hours or so a week. I read Under the Dome this last summer in three days while putting in 10 to 12 hrs each day. I'm also kinda surprised that this guy thought Quint's "idea" was so brilliant. That's the film we were all expecting when they first announced that they were making a film on Rebello's work. I've brought this up before, but if they really want to make a good behind the scenes movie, they ought to adapt Shaun Considine's book Bette and Joan, about the making of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?. Those to women hated each other and it could be a really funny movie with two great parts for a couple of actresses to chew on. Make the first hour on the history of the actresses in Hollywood focusing on what fuel their fued and the next hour on the film itself. Bet it'd make way more than Hitchcock did.

Not sure regular audiences care for Behind The Scenes movies...
by Glenn
They've been inundated with this stuff on DVDs and Access Hollywood for years now. And you can't make an honest one until all the major players are dead otherwise it turns into a puff piece. Like, I'd love to see a BTS film about them putting together a new company called ILM to do special effects for Star Wars; apparently it was like Animal House for geeks, in between all the hard work. Lucas would be a fringe character who comes in to crack the whip. There would be lots of BTS of still-relevant films, but you couldn't show anybody's true dark side, like Spielberg of Zemeckis or Lucas... Chinatown, maybe? Nicholson likes his bad boy image. But I tried showing that film to a girl pal of mine and she couldn't get through it. Too slow for today's audiences.

Rep. Fred Durhal, Jr. thinks this story is a cheap shot. After you read it, see if you think the Detroit Democrat is spot on.Between now and the end of the year, Michigan's 148 legislators will be at the state capitol for 22 days. That means for over 100 days they will be doing something else and they would tell you that means doing your business back in the district.But some of them are also doing their own business."Traditionally they don't spend a lot of time here during an election cycle," recalls the former Democratic Speaker of the House Lou Dodak, who adds, "that's going to back to when I first came into the legislature."There you have it. When legislators are running for re-election they most often don't show up at the capitol and if you have a beef with that just remember it's a tradition. But they are still at home meeting with constituents, the argument goes.It's also not accurate, claims Sen. Roger Kahn (R-Saginaw), to focus on those 22 days because "we have more to do" back in the district.Head nodding is Rep. Durhal who says lawmakers are on call "24-7" and up taking phone calls at all hours of the night. They are attending meetings, and some even come back to Lansing to work on committee business.But you have to wonder how the average person views that 22-day figure?Brenda Reeber from Ludington, who was walking around the capitol rotunda the other day put it succiently, "I think that's ridiculous…there's an obligation to do your job, not looking to get the next one."Reeber may be onto something there, but in fairness some would argue it is misleading to judge lawmakers on the time they spend in town. The only challenge is, there is no way to verify what they are doing back home. The word trust comes to mind.So here is the fact: 22 days between now and the end of the year your lawmakers will not be here.Now, everybody on Rep. Durhal's "cheap shot" side, raise your hands.

Click hereto see Wally Snyder talk about this issue on the Oct. 17 edition of the KTHV-TV CBS Little Rock evening news (Windows Media Player required).
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 17, 2005 The American Advertising Federation (AAF) today called for a national initiative to promote physical education among children. The remarks were made by AAF president & CEO Wally Snyder at an Arkansas Advertising Federation event in Little Rock.
Concerns about rising rates of obesity especially among children continue to grow. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 16 percent of children and adolescents from 6 to 19 years more than 9 million young people are considered overweight. Many point to the advertising industry as a cause of this national weight problem. However, studies indicate that advertising is not a significant factor, if a factor at all. Rather, the key to obesity is a lack of strenuous physical activity. According to the CDC, regular exercise is a key part of any weight control effort, yet more than a third of young people in grades 912 do not regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
The AAF has called for a national initiative to promote physical activity among children. In his statement today, Snyder said, "I think it is vitally important that the AAF and the advertising industry call for the return of physical education to our children's lives and to our lives. We call on school boards across the country to provide before- and after-school PE programs for all students and for government and industry to provide funding support."
Snyder continued, "We call on the industry ourselves to use our expertise and resources to educate the public as to the many benefits, physical and educational, of exercise and physical education."
Physical activity has an impact not only on weight management, but on scholastic aptitude as well. States Snyder, "There is a wealth of research that shows a link between healthy minds and bodies. Studies have found that regular physical activity supports better learning and that there is a significant relationship between academic achievement and fitness levels. Other studies have found a link between physical activity programs and improved reading, writing and mathematics test scores."
The advertising industry has many initiatives already in place to educate the public on this issue, acting as a primary venue for conveying information on healthy activities. The ongoing programs of major advertisers and the Ad Council about the role of exercise in a healthy lifestyle demonstrate how the advertising industry can assist in this national health concern.
The American Advertising Federation (AAF), headquartered in Washington, D.C., acts as the "Unifying Voice for Advertising." The AAF is the oldest national advertising trade association, representing 50,000 professionals in the advertising industry. The AAF has a national network of 200 ad clubs located in ad communities across the country. Through its 215 college chapters, the AAF provides 6,500 advertising students with real-world case studies and recruitment connections to corporate America. The AAF also has 130 blue-chip corporate members that are advertisers, agencies and media companies, comprising the nation's leading brands and corporations.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals ask permission to interview Denver's Mike McCoy
Just a few hours after the firing of Ken Whisenhunt as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, the organization has begun the search for a replacement, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The Cardinals, along with the Chicago Bears, have asked for permission to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for the vacant position.
McCoy, 40, has spent 13 seasons as an NFL assistant, including the last four as the architect of the Denver Broncos' offense. This season, with Peyton Manning at the controls, the Broncos ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense (397.9 yards per game) and second in points per game (30.1). Denver is riding an 11-game winning streak heading into the postseason as the AFC's top seed.
But maybe more impressively, McCoy helped Denver to the playoffs last season with Tim Tebow at quarterback. McCoy helped devise a system to take advantage of Tebow's skill set and the team rebounded from a 2-5 start to go 8-8, win the AFC West, and defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
According to Schefter's report, McCoy will interview with the Cardinals this weekend, as Denver has a bye week for the first round of the postseason.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
This 2002 review is representative of model years 1999 to 2004.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
New models and improvements help keep Grand Cherokee competitive.
A new upscale model, along with items such as a hotter V8 and adjustable pedals, should keep the Jeep Grand Cherokee competitive in the 2002 model year.
The handsome, fun-to-drive Grand Cherokee once was considered the type of sport utility BMW would build. But then BMW unveiled its first sport ute for the 2000 model year. Called the X5, it turned out to essentially be a high-performance, all-weather combination sport ute/station wagon.
In contrast, the Grand Cherokee has more cargo room and Jeep's traditionally impressive off-road prowess. Although solidly built, it's had various long-term reliability issues.
Major Redesign
An ultra-responsive 5-speed automatic transmission with a second overdrive gear was added for 2001 models with the 4.7 V8. But one wonders how many Grand Cherokee buyers cared about such new items as the industry-first hydraulically driven engine-cooling fan, which slightly raises fuel economy and allows better air conditioning performance at idle.
Competition keeps heating up in the sport utility market, so Jeep has provided more visible changes and higher profile features to its 2002 Grand Cherokee lineup; it continues with base Laredo and higher-line Limited trims with rear- or 4-wheel drive.
New Top-Line Trim
Hotter V8
While heavy, the Grand Cherokee is no slug with any of its engines. But the hotter V8 is a good idea because even the 235-horsepower version provides average acceleration above 65 mph even with just a driver aboard—especially in heavier 4-wheel-drive form.
Best Fuel Economy
Those actually aren't bad numbers for a midsize sport ute that weighs approximately 4,000 pounds. The lightest Grand Cherokee is the rear-drive Laredo at 3,786 pounds, while the heaviest is the 4,364-pound, equipment-loaded Overland.
Fuel-Thirsty V8s
For what it's worth, a quarter-turn fuel filler cap that was new for 2001 will help owners get away a bit faster from filling stations.
Other new Grand Cherokee features include available side curtain airbag head protection in collisions for front and rear outboard occupants. They're standard in the Overland.
Power-Adjustable Pedals There also are available power-adjustable accelerator and brake pedals; they move 3 inches rearward of the standard pedal position to allow more driver comfort and to let shorter drivers move back farther from the steering wheel. The pedal position is incorporated into the "his-and-hers" memory setting, along with seat position, radio station selections and mirror settings.
Also new are rain-sensing windshield wipers (also standard for the Overland), improved air conditioning and—importantly—a new tire pressure monitoring system. Also, the Laredo and Limited get new wheels.
Top Four-Wheel-Drive Systems
Selec-Trac allows a shift into rear-drive, and all allow 4-wheel-drive to be engaged on roads at highways speeds. Low-range gearing helps give the Grand Cherokee sparkling off-road performance.
Quadra Drive combines the Quadra-Trac II transfer case and Vari-Lok progressive front and rear axles. It allows virtually a 100 percent transfer of developed engine torque to a single wheel on or off road to keep the Grand Cherokee moving while maintaining driver control when a traction situation looks almost hopeless.
Fun to Drive
Annoying Rocking Motion
The Grand Cherokee is one of few sport utilities in its class to use a unibody design, which allows a roomier interior. Big outside door handles and a fairly low floor facilitate reaching the quiet interior, where there's decent room for four 6-footers. But rear-door openings are narrow and the back windows don't roll down all the way.
Gauges can be quickly read and controls work smoothly. However, sound system controls should be larger. Front cupholders are nicely located and there are small storage pockets in the front doors. Vision to the rear is a bit limited, but there are big outside mirrors.
Folding Back Seat
While more attractive than ever, the Grand Cherokee could use a good dose of BMW reliability

Shape the Future - Dream. Design. Do.
Houston, We Have a Problem!
The future of engineering lies within the creativity and innovation of our nation's youth. However, as many recent papers and studies have chronicled, kids today are not pursuing futures in science, math, engineering and technology (Sullivan 2006; Rising Above the Gathering Storm; Duderstadt). Research studies show that students begin to lose enthusiasm for science in elementary and middle school (Greenfield 1996; Jovanovich & King 1998). One study showed that middle school students responded unfavorably when asked if they want to pursue a career in engineering (Mooney & Laubach 2002). Waning enthusiasm is more pronounced for girls as they exhibit lower science achievement scores than boys at the middle school level (Stake & Mares 2001). Standardized test results also illustrate decreasing math proficiency in the middle school years. To steer young students towards futures in engineering and technology, particularly girls and ethnic minorities, we must impress upon them the creativity, influence, and societal impact of engineering and the motivation to learn science and math during the critical K-12 years. Whether teaching stand-alone engineering classes in elementary, middle or high school or through integrating engineering activities into subjects like science, math, geography, etc., research shows that engineering-like education works!
Why Use Engineering?
Aside from being flat out fun, incorporating engineering activities into your classroom in a proper way is directly aligned with many instructional practices known to improve student learning. First of all, the process of engineering design where students identify and define a problem, formulate the right questions, conceive multiple possible solutions and evaluate those solutions through analysis and testing, is very similar to scientific inquiry. The National Science Standards (AAAS, 1989; National Research Council, 1996) have labeled the use of inquiry that promotes scientific reasoning as a central strategy for teaching science. The use of an inquiry based approach in a science classroom leads students to realize the way science is authentically carried out. Many studies have found that inquiry-based science activities have positive effects on student achievement, cognitive development, laboratory skills, and understanding of science content as a whole when compared with students taught using traditional approaches (Burkam et al. 1997, Freedman 1997).
Engineering lessons and activities are typically inquiry-based and incorporate problem solving, critical thinking and cooperative learning for all students. Research has shown that cooperative activities facilitated more active roles (Baker 1990, Johnson & Johnson 1999, Meyer 1998) and higher retention rates for female students (Kahle & Meece, 1994). Studies have also shown that African American and Hispanic students performed better in cooperative environments (Atwater, 1994, Bonangue 1992). Additionally, studies have shown that students in inquiry based classrooms have improved attitudes toward both science and school as compared to traditional methods.
Engineering curriculum often involve hands-on activities that are open-ended (more than one correct answer). Research has shown that students who participate in hands-on activities and perform their own science experiments learn more than those who do not (Burkam et al. 1997, Freedman 1997). Teachers who have implemented engineering activities have indicated that the open-ended, inquiry-based, and team-oriented approach encouraged the involvement of students who normally do not participate in class (Mooney & Laubach 2002). Teachers indicate that the hands-on inquiry approach is particularly appealing to students with disabilities, allowing them to learn using kinesic and verbal modalities, pictorial representations and creativity - traits that are strengths of students with learning disabilities (Mastropieri et al. 1999). And, the use of hands-on project based learning has been proven effective in educating English as a second-language students (Gersten & Baker 2000).
Stay Tuned
Research into how children learn and particularly how children learn science and math is clearly evolving rapidly. Agencies such as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Heath, and the Department of Education are funding numerous research efforts.

Besides, Ikea hot dog's are s**t
Had a holiday ban at work so I can't get the 4th off, I guess my only option is to pull a sicky...
ive got confirmation that im allowed the day off work so im definatly coming
are we considering this new location then thats seemingly good for photos/dogging ha?
That looks like a dogging spot for sure
Slightly concerned about that spot tbh... Sausage-female ratio is too high . LOL
I think Sargara isn't telling us something.
im in with the 4th!
Ikea or the dodgy back lane car park?
Hai guise, I could make the 4th, so it would be cool to swing by and say hello Be gentle with me...
May as well just make it Ikea and see what happens? Anything is better than that dogging spot.
You said you wanted "scenic" and "no security guards" its not my fault those 2 requirements are probably the same thing that goes through the mind of doggers
As i said though, no idea what its like and never been there i was just looking on google maps around Elvaston Castle
Could always meet at Elvaston Castle? The other Renault forum I use has had meets there for the past two summers and always been fine. Just costs a couple of quid to park.
Sup to you. If we all go to Ikea, I can almost guarantee we'll get kicked out, especially if we go for photos in the underground.
Elvaston Castle then.
Sorted. Say 1pm meet?
Can we make it 2:00?
1:59 and you have a deal?!

There is a place known as graffiti tunnel just on the A50 near your known dogging spot.

Otherwise, if your after local local stuff, I can see if MFN's grounds are free on the 4th and then could possibly get some photos next to the lock or in other various places.

Nose: Light but quite intense, with lemon sherbert, lemon butter icing and some lemon zest. Underneath there's some waxiness and touch of honeysuckle, along with a hint at some darker liquorice-like notes.
Palate: Richer than the nose suggests, with spiced sponge cake, light brown sugar and some caramel. There's also some darker woody notes appearing, with the liquorice hinted at by the nose complimented by some damp oak and woody spice.
Finish: Liquorice, butter and lingering barrel char.
Comment: It's definitely not the oldest dram in the world, but it's got a good punch of flavour - good spicy oak and some great darker notes to balance the up front sweetness.

The How, What, and Why of Accelerated Distance Learning
- Friday, September 09, 2011
One of the big questions facing homeschoolers is, "What about college?" Even if you've just started your home education journey, already your next-door neighbor (after asking about socialization) will question whether your child will be able to get into college.
Rather than trying to convince you that home-educated students can and have done exceptionally well in traditional college settings—other resources have already done that1—I'd like to consider the relatively new concept of Accelerated Distance Learning and how it worked in my real-life experience.
What Is Distance Learning?
Distance learning simply means studying off-campus, often from home, via credit-by-exam (CLEPs, DSST, TECEPs, etc.), correspondence courses, online courses, portfolio assessment, or other methods. Accelerated Distance Learning specifically focuses on working faster and more efficiently than the traditional semester-by-semester approach.
Benefits of a Non-Traditional Approach
Some of the benefits of distance learning include greater flexibility for work or ministry, protection from the temptations or distractions of campus life, accountability to family and mentors while living at home, efficiency through individual instruction and time-saving methods, opportunity to intern or work in your field while earning a degree, and the cost-effectiveness of certain distance learning techniques.
As parents and young people begin thinking about life after high school, I would encourage them to make careful decisions—on purpose and with purpose. Avoid reaching conclusions by default! Well, everyone I know is doing this . . . I don't know what else to do . . . Of course my child has to go to college—otherwise how will they get a job, get married, or move out of my house?
An on-purpose decision is one that is made wisely, with prayer, thought, counsel, and research. A with-purpose decision is made for a reason, with a goal in mind and a specific aim in view. Have you sought God earnestly for His plan for you or your young person: as a child of God, as a man or a woman, as an individual with unique strengths and gifts? Would a degree be useful or perhaps necessary for the career or calling you hope to see ahead?
My Experience
After I graduated from high school in 2005, my parents and I knew I would be continuing my education in some way. I love learning, wanted to continue growing academically, and thought a credential could be useful in teaching my own children someday, Lord willing. I still wanted to be a significant part of my family's work and ministry, though, and my parents and I didn't feel that four years away at school would be the best use of my time or prepare me fully for the future.
At just the right time, the Lord introduced us to Accelerated Distance Learning through the CollegePlus! coaching program. I was blessed to be able to study from home while maintaining close relationships with my family, being involved in entrepreneurial endeavors, serving in my church and community, and developing vital practical skills.
Because I began college work right after high school, I was able to build immediately on my high school studies and make fairly quick progress. For instance, after completing Chemistry and Advanced Chemistry in high school, I was able to pass the Chemistry CLEP test and earn multiple college credits in that first-year science course. I loved studying many things, including literature, business, English, mathematics, and history, and I wrapped up my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey for under $6,500 in about 18 months.
Following completion of my BA, I continued my distance-learning education with a one-year paralegal program through Oak Brook College of Law(OBCL), a Christian correspondence law school based in California, and passed a national paralegal certification test.

3 Health Care Stocks Spiking on Big Volume
MADISON, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Stocks the Pros Love This Summer Valeant Pharmaceuticals Valeant Pharmaceuticals ( VRX) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products primarily in the areas of neurology, dermatology and branded generics. This stock closed up 0.6% at $86.41on Wednesday. Wednesday's Volume: 8.34 million
Average Volume: 1.77 million
Volume % Change: 418% Shares of VRX jumped modestly higher on Wednesday after the company said it raised $2 billion in an offering of its common shares, which will be used to help fund its planned $8.7 billion acquisition of global eye-care company Bausch & Lomb. >>3 Health Care Stock Under $10 to Watch From a technical perspective, VRX bounced higher here right above some near-term support at $82 with heavy upside volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of VRX within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if VRX manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $88.67 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in VRX as long as it's trending above some key near-term support $83.86 and then once it sustains a move or close above $88.67 with volume that hits near or above 1.77 million shares. If we get that breakout soon, then VRX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $92 to $92.50. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put its next major overhead resistance level at $96.25 into range for shares of VRX.

If my love handle areas are not numb at all after three days (they weren't really that numb even the same day of the procedure), does that mean it didn't work?
3 Days Post-Op and I Have Zero Numbness on Lovehandles. Does That Mean It Didnt Take?
Doctor Answers (3)
No Numbness after CoolSculpting
Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after the treatment though patients may experience temporary pain or discomfort. Side effects can include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness to the touch, cramping, itching, tingling, and numbness. However, these side effects do not affect everyone. This does not mean your treatment did not take.
Coolsculpting doesn't usually create numbness
One doesn't need to get numb from CoolSculpting for it to work. During the first few minutes the chilling helps lessen the discomfort from the suction but the freezing usually doesn't create numbness in most patients as a side effect they notice for days after. So if you don't experience numbness after CoolSculpting you shouldn't think you won't get a good result.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com/zeltiq/index.html
Numbness after Coolsculpting
Thank you for your question.
No, just because you have NO numbness, it does not mean that the Coolsculpting Procedure did not work. Most of my patients don't have the tingling / numbness when the love handles are treated. More commonly, when the abdomen is treated is when patients have the tingling / numbness sensation.
Be patient and you should start seeing results 4-8 weeks out.
Best wishes.

Q. I am concerned our HOA board of directors is completely out of control with spendin. It gave the police and fire departments contributions without the knowledge of any of the residents. It appears that the funds came from our reserves. It decided to erect a new gate security house and roadway changes without approval of the owners. I feel if you give too much power to an individual it will eventually lead to corruption. How can we get a forensic audit performed by the state or city? Do we have to retain a lawyer? What are our legal rights?
F.V., Port St. Lucie
You are feeling the pain of a board that has little oversight by the members. My guess is that very few members attend the meetings and really understand who the best candidates are. The problem is that the board sees this lack of supervision and submissive attitude by the members and does what it pleases. Unfortunately, there is no outside help such as a state agency. You must start a grassroots campaign to elect better directors. It is good that you fear the unaccounted expenses and want to see if you can stop these actions by the board.
Q. Our HOA documents state that each home is to be maintained in a quality condition by each owner. We received a letter that strongly intimated we had to use a specific brand of paint. Three years past, we used a better quality paint than was recommended at that time and many owners who used the recommended paint have had failure of the paint. Now comes the board again forcing all homes to repaint using a recommended contractor and specific brand of paint. We would like a legal opinion as to whether the HOA board has the authority to order us to use the contractor and brand of paint.
J.C. & C.C., Stuart
I cannot provide legal advice; for that you need to engage an attorney. Let me give you an example of a similar situation I had last week. My HOA send a letter that I needed to paint my mail box. About once a year I take a spray can to my mailbox but it had been several months since my last painting. I immediately took my spray paint out to paint my mailbox. But I had a problem, as I had been using flat paint. I send back a letter explaining that I had painted my box with flat paint but wondered if they wanted gloss paint. I know that there is a difference between painting a mailbox and a fence, but the example takes the same action. The association answered that they wanted gloss paint but would accept my flat paint this year.
I suggest that you send a letter to the board and ask if they can inspect your current fence and see if it needs painting because you used a better grade of paint last time you painted. Sometimes it will be best to comply with rule enforcement rather than fight.
Q. You must be kidding! A quorum in my HOA community would be 10 people. The board has five people on it, so if each has a neighboring friend they can bully the rest of us? Any reasonable democracy would be saying majority is minimum as part of state law, that would be 51 percent or more. Clearly the association documents prevail.
L.R., Clearwater
It is not a case of a few bullying the many; it is a situation in which a lower quorum allows the board and associations to conduct business. To have an annual meeting and elect new directors, the state said that a minimum quorum is 30 percent in FS 720.306. The key reason is that many owners do not take interest in the operations of the association and do not attend the meetings and do not vote. This is a common event and the state dropped a higher quorum in order to allow HOA to conduct business. If members in the community attend the meetings, then the board cannot push their agenda. If the members do not take interest in the association, they are subject to the board's agenda. The answer is to attend meetings and vote.

Australian Prime Minister and distinguished sexist Tony Abbott is in Ottawa today to meet Stephen Harper, but Twitter users seem more occupied with a slip of the tongue from the weekend.
Abbott was asked about Harper's recent remarks about Russian president Vladimir Putin while at the Canadian War Museum on Sunday. On Global News' The West Block, Harper had called Putin an "extreme nationalist" and "imperialist," though he said the situation is not quite "Hitleresque."
When asked about Harper's stern words, Abbott replied "They're very forthright remarks. And I think that they're perfectly appropriate remarks for the Canadian prime minister to make. Canadia, Canada, probably has more involvement in the affairs of Europe than Australia often does…"
Watch the full clip below:
He quickly corrected his slip, but like an elephant covered in neon-orange Cheetos dust, the internet doesn't forget. In fact, it inspired a slew of memes, art and #Canadia tweets.

Sharks at Oilers, G6 '10-'11
There will be a time during this rebuild that the Edmonton Oilers send away a talented player who rips up the National Hockey League in another town. Fans will remember it for decades (Oilers fans have exceptional memories) and it'll be a major down arrow for the GM who pulled the trigger.
Good management these days has as much to do with contract numbers and length as it does anything else, but identifying talent is still the gold standard for hockey men and success.
The Oilers sent away Miro Satan many years ago despite all kinds of evidence he was going to have an impact. At 20, Satan spent 25 games in the AHL and scored 24 goals. That's a clear tell that he belonged in a higher league. The next season he popped 18 as an NHL rookie and has scored 363 goals in the big leagues as we speak. If we're making a list of "the ones that got away" then Satan would have to rank as a fine candidate for top spot.
The Oilers in the last decade have shown a tendency to put off decisions until forced to act under league rules. A good example is their current worrying over the backup goaltender situation.
Steve Tambellini was named General Manager end July 2008. Are there any Satan's out there? Here's the list of men once considered prospects who were offloaded by the current GM:
- June 27, 2009: Oilers trade C Kyle Brodziak to Minnesota for draft picks that were used to acquire D Kyle Bigos and G Olivier Roy.
- July 9, 2009: Oilers trade forward Tim Sestito to NJD for a conditional draft pick.
- September 29, 2009: Oilers lose C Rob Schremp to waiver claim by NY Islanders.
- March 2, 2010: Oilers trade D Cody Wild to Boston for F Matt Marquardt.
- June 26, 2010: Oilers trade C Riley Nash to Carolina for draft pick that was used to acquire Martin Marincin.
- June 28, 2010: Oilers decline QO's to Marc Pouliot, Slava Trukhno, Bryan Lerg and Geoff Paukovich.
- June 30, 2010: Oilers buyout Robert Nilsson's contract.
Some of these players (Brodziak, Pouliot, Nilsson) had established themselves at the NHL level (at least to a certain extent) but were certainly considered prospects during this past decade. Here's a quick glance at the group:
- Kyle Brodziak: Continues to be an effective 2-way talent at the NHL level. The prospects received look good, so the error on management's part has more to do with not replacing Brodziak (they did this summer by acquiring and then signing Colin Fraser) for a calendar year. Olivier Roy looks like an absolute gem at this point, so MBS deserves a tip of the cap for delivering on a draft bullet.
- Tim Sestito: He did make it to the NHL with New Jersey, in a very specific role. He's on the current Devils roster (has played 3 games) as an energy player, but his friendly cap hit probably has a lot to do with his roster spot.
- Rob Schremp: The young man had a nice season one year ago (7-18-25 in 44gp) and looks to have a future. Currently injured, the Islanders have players dropping like flies so there should be an opportunity for him upon return.
- Cody Wild: Has played only 1 AHL game so far this season (injury? HS?) but would seem to be in the mix for future recall down the line. One thing that is certain about defensemen: no matter how deep the depth chart in September, it is a long season and opportunity will eventually come knocking. I'd suggest he's a little less than Danny Syvret as a prospect, but the blue men can fool you. We may not know for certain about Wild for several years.
- Riley Nash: Young man did in fact sign a pro contract, and impressed the Hurricanes at TC. Since being assigned to the AHL, Nash has been scoreless in 7 games for the Charlotte Checkers. On the other hand, the return (Martin Marincin) is one of the shining lights in the WHL early this season.
- Marc-Antoine Pouliot: Lost his NHL job in Edmonton and now in the minors trying to get another chance in the big leagues. He's added the Antoine back onto his name and is currently tied for 8th in AHL scoring (5gp, 2-6-8 for Norfolk Admirals). I suspect he'll get another shot in the NHL in the next couple of years.
- Slava Trukhno: In summer, he signed in the KHL (Sibir Novosibirsk) but was released and I can't find out a thing about him.
- Bryan Lerg: Won a tryout with the Pittsburgh Penguins and made their AHL team (5gp, 0-2-2). The Oilers soured on him (he didn't play a lot last season) but he might get new life with his second organization.
- Geoff Paukovich: Currently on the roster of the Las Vegas Wranglers, but listed as inactive and he hasn't played this season. He did play for them in pre-season.
- Robert Nilsson: Having a nice start to the season with KHL's Ufa Salavat Yulayev (13gp, 3-10-13) and I expect this player will be back in the NHL soon (possibly as early as next season). He's on a team with Alexander Radulov and Patrick Thoresen, and everyone seems to score three points a night.
No Satan's there, no prospects sent away as prospects who have had a Miro breakout after being dealt. Schremp looks like he's going to have a career and good for him. Nilsson and Pouliot are going to have to wait for the phone to ring, and Brodziak keeps on rolling.
The Oilers walked away from some and sent others away, but if even one of Marincin or Roy turns out to be an NHL player I'd think Oilers fans would be pleased overall. No prospects of exceptional value have been sent away yet, and the rebuild is enjoying some strong drafts from the Magnificent Bastard. It would be nice if the club could add a few actual NHL players to the group sometime soon, but they're on track in the amateur procurement department.

This is a timely and prophetic album for this season of change that many of us are going through.
Like it or not change is inevitable. Through its uncertainties, we find out what we're made of--faith or fear. In God's genius, even our resistance to change makes us grow. If we're not changing we're stagnating. If the air over your city stopped moving, pollution would eventually kill you. If a river lost its current, the water would soon stagnate and everything that lives in it would die. A perfect example is the Dead Sea; it receives but does not give out. That's why we're in transition right now--we need a change. He wants to make butterflies out of caterpillars. So embrace the change, resistance is futile. Everything is going to change.
Let this album and its message of change encourage you as you go through life's transitions!
Track Samples
"It is encouragement in a simple form, an easy metaphor about the great metamorphosis. Easy to hear and take in; it lifts up your spirit so that you 'fly' like a beautiful butterfly."Erica
"His song is like a declaration of hope and a vision of our transformation. Not where we've been but where we're soaring and who we're soaring with. It speaks courage to the spirit and breathes life to the soul."Deborah
Born and raised in Clearwater, Florida, Michael Tyrrell started playing guitar around the age of ten and later studied classical guitar with Joseph Lazarro, a protegee of Andre Segovia. While still a senior in high school, Michael was "discovered" and, shortly after graduation began touring with Young American Showcase.
After knowing success for several years however, his circumstances changed. Michael's life became filled with harsh realities and sorrows which began to derail his dream of having it all. During this time, an acquaintance introduced him to cocaine, and it quickly overtook all else in his life. One night, he realized he could go no further and decided to kill himself. In what he thought were his final conscious moments, he called out to God, saying, "Only You can save me now!"
To Michael's surprise, he awoke in the morning...... surrounded by the glory of the Lord's presence. During this time of cleansing and dying to self, God touched Michael and reformed him into a vessel for his own use.
Michael's heart and focus is now to network Christians for a greater impact on the world. Michael and his wife, Lillian, live in South Florida.

UNDATED (WTVB) In Branch County high school sports, the student-athletes have the gyms to themselves for a few more days and then the stands will begin to fill up once again with fans to cheer on their favorite teams competing in the games of the winter season beginning next week with girl's basketball to be followed next month with boy's hoops and wrestling as well as gymnastics. The curtain on the fall season of events in Michigan is coming down this weekend at Ford Field in Detroit with the eight MHSAA football playoff title games. The only area team with a shot at a championship, Constantine, had their season end with a loss on Friday as the Falcons fell to Ithaca 37-to-27 in the Division Six title game. It was the Yellowjacket's third straight championship, capping three 14-and-0 seasons in-a-row, including a victory over Constantine in the 2011 title contest. Also crowned champions on Friday were Birmingham Brother Rice in Division Two, Grand Rapids South Christian in Division Four, and Harbor Beach in Division Eight. On today's schedule are four more games to decide the titles in Divisions One, Three, Five and Seven.
