Weyerhaeuser Company
Reaching for the Summit on Iron Mountain
By Kells Hetherington - August 27, 2013 | Tickers: DLR, UFS, DFT, IRM, WY
Investors' long ascent up Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM) was stymied by the IRS, which issued a "tentatively adverse" ruling in response to the company's planned conversion to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). The day the IRS news was made public, shares of IRM plunged 16%. However, the pending IRS decision on Iron Mountain is a paradox from which investors are set to profit.

Pinocchio Does Not Play Soccer
By Damian Illia - July 9, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, RYN, WY
At the potrero - slang for the neighborhood's soccer field - those who can't perform are said to have wooden legs. The slang is meant to look down on soccer players who lack dribbling skills.
In this analysis, however, everything related to wood is good. Since the timber industry is steadily recovering, Plum Creek Timber (NYSE: PCL), Rayonier (NYSE: RYN), and Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) have seen its reports become increasingly more »
A Strategic Timberlands Deal
By Anh HOANG - July 3, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, RYN, WY
Recently, Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) has made a good move to expand its U.S. timber portfolio by acquiring Longview Timber from Brookfield Asset Management. The total transaction was worth $2.65 billion, including the assumption of debt. Weyerhaeuser has not performed well on the market, gaining only 2.4% since the beginning of the year which is much lower than the S&P 500's return of more than more »
REIT Investment Opportunities Continue to Become More Diverse
By Brian Shaw - July 3, 2013 | Tickers: AMT 131116P00072500, DLR, PCL, VNQ, WY
Traditionally, companies that own office buildings, shopping malls, and apartment complexes have been the most likely to be structured as real estate investment trusts (or "REITs"). However, there has been a trend in recent years for a much broader range of companies to make the conversion to a REIT structure. This conversion process has been so widespread that the IRS has begun to ramp up scrutiny of the application of more »
Investors: Who Do You Believe?
By Michael Ugulini - July 1, 2013 | Tickers: PCH, RFP, WY
As an investor, if there is ever a time for engaging in even more diligent "due diligence," that time is now. There's a lot of hot air blowing around, and it isn't just because summer's arrived. The current investment climate is rife with hype, bold (and maybe even some unfounded prognostications), and contradictory views that can confuse investors.

How to Build Up Your Portfolio
By Marshall Hargrave - June 27, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, RYN, WY
Plum Creek Timber (NYSE: PCL), one of the largest private timberland owners in the U.S., is down some 10.5% over the past month, which is well above the 2.5% pullback in the S&P 500. Now appears to be a great time to buy this market-leading timber REIT.

By Mike Thiessen - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: BAM, PCL, WY
A recent deal between Federal Way, Washington-based lumber REIT Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) and Toronto-based property management firm Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM) could have important ramifications for the firms' shareholders. Judging by its size and scope, it could have significant implications for the timber and home-building industries as well.
The core of the deal involves the exchange of Longview Timber Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield. Longview owns nearly more »
Weyerhaeuser's $2.65 Billion Forest
By John Moore - June 21, 2013 | Tickers: LPX, UFPI, WY
Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) will buy 645,000 acres of timberland from Longview Timber for $2.65 billion. Weyerhaeuser plans to fund the deal with a 50-50 split of equity and debt that would total $2.45 billion. This company – and the timber industry in general – has been systematically positioning itself for the housing recovery. Who says only tech companies can mega-deal?

The Effects of an Improving Housing Market
By Robinson Roacho - June 17, 2013 | Tickers: RYN, RFP, WY
The housing market has been improving recently. The low interest rates set by the Fed to stimulate the economy and the declining unemployment rate have positively influenced the housing market. The demand for new homes is strong. According to several construction companies, there was a rise in new homes orders in the first quarter of 2013.
Houses in the United States are mainly built from wood. Further, S&P expects more »
Yelling Timber!
By Victor Lai - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: WOOD, PCL, WY
While this commodity doesn't get as much attention as its popular cousins oil and gold, wood is also a scarce and valuable natural resource. What's more, I think the secular case for lumber is strong due to how the world is changing. As countries develop and industrialize, they typically follow a pattern of building and resource consumption. It starts with demand for concrete to lay out a foundation more »
A Win-Win Scenario
By Brendan Marasco - June 3, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, PLD, BX, WY
Earning income from owning profit-producing assets sounds great. It is.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) should comprise a part of each person's asset allocation. Are you living in retirement, wanting supplemental dividend payments? Are you paying down the mortgage on that first house? How about the extra cash to take your family out to dinner? Regardless of the scenario, REITs can be an effective solution to portfolio needs.

The Last Remaining Play on the Housing Recovery
By Ted Cooper - June 3, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, RYN, WY
Investors who are just now recognizing that a broad recovery in the U.S. housing market is well underway are almost too late to the party -- nearly every stock connected with the housing industry has run up already. However, despite the broader run-up in prices, some of the uglier and more cyclical businesses still trade at decent prices for investors who want to catch the tail-end of the rally.

Play It Safe With This Timber REIT
By Mark Lin - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: PCL, PCH, WY
Timber REITs are more defensive and better inflation hedges than other types of REITs. But not all timber REITs are created equal. Plum Creek Timber (NYSE: PCL), North America's first and largest timber REIT, is the best proxy for the growth in demand for timber with the recovery in the U.S. housing market, given that it has limited non-timberland businesses unlike its peers. Furthermore, its attractiveness relative to more »
Shareholders Are Getting Robbed by These Companies
By Ted Cooper - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: IP, RFP, WY
Commodity businesses are rarely wonderful, but some are downright terrible. Companies in the paper and packaging industry are net value destroyers, and shareholders should demand a full return of capital. Instead of doing this, though, companies like International Paper (NYSE: IP) continue to pour free cash flow back into money-losing businesses.
Lately, companies like Resolute Forest Products (NYSE: RFP) and Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) have become better stewards of shareholder capital more »

The U.S housing market is still going strong, according to the S&P Case-Shiller Index of property values in 20 major cities in the United States. The price index, which gauges the health of the domestic housing market, rose 9.3% year-on-year in the three-month period ending in February. That jump, which exceeded the median analyst forecast of 9.0%, represents the index's biggest year-on-year increase since October more »
Timber Investing for the Average Investor
By Jeff Stouffer - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: WOOD, PCL, WY
Investing in timber has always been one of my preferred alternative investments. Returns are based more on the supply and demand of timber than the overall stock market. One of the key fundamental drivers for timber is new housing construction. Home building appears to be on a rebound, and all the excesses that occurred before the market meltdown of 2008 seem to be absorbed.
Direct investment in timber has primarily more »

as much as i love having people around me, constantly, i tend to forget the most important thing: at the end of the day, when everyone's gone home...
One particularly sad fact about advertising is you don't come across great long copy ads very often anymore.
Sure, you see some astounding campaigns that gracefully utilise a plethora of relevant media and capture the imagination of consumers and invoke an unhealthy jealousy within industry professionals.
But what I love is the reserved delight of finishing a long copy ad because the writer succeeded in keeping my eyes snagged to their words from the rhetorical question to the concluding thought.
This writer did that for me and if I can write something as creatively conversational as this during my career, I will taste sweet life satisfaction.
11HP/29" Snowblower
Price $900.00
Address Moncton, NB, Canada
Do you like shoveling snow? Then stop reading this and go back to your pushups and granola because you are not someone that I want to talk to.
Let's face it, we live in a place that attracts snow like Magnetic Hill attracts cars, only that ain't an illusion out there. That's 12 inches of snow piling up and, oh, what's that sound? Why it's the snow plow and it's here to let you know that it hates you and all the time you spent to shovel your driveway. Did you want to get out of your house today? Were you expecting to get to work on time? Or even this week?
You gave it your best shot. You tried to shovel by yourself and I respect you for that. I did it, my parents did it, some of my best friends did it. But deep down inside, we all wanted to murder that neighbor with the snowblower who was finished and on his second beer while you were still trying to throw snow over a snowbank taller than you are.
So, here we are. You could murder your neighbour, which could ensure that you won't need to shovel a driveway for 25 to life, but there are downsides to that too. What to do?
Here's the deal. I have a snow blower and I want you to own it. I can tell you're serious about this. It's like I can almost see you: sitting there, your legs are probably crossed and your left hand is on your chin. Am I right? How'd I do that? The same way that I know that YOU ARE GOING TO BUY THIS SNOWBLOWER.
I want you to experience the rush that comes with smashing through a snowdrift and blowing that mother trucker out of the way. The elation of seeing the snow plow come back down your street and watching the look of despair as your OTHER neighbour gets his shovel out once more while you kick back with a hot cup of joe (you don't have a drinking problem like that other guy).
Here's what you do. You go to the bank. You collect $900. You get your buddy with a truck and you drive over here. You give me some cold hard cash and I give you a machine that will mess up a snowbank sumthin' fierce. I've even got the manual for it, on account of I bought it brand new and I don't throw that kind of thing away. Don't want to pay me $900? Convince me. Send me an offer and I'll either laugh at you and you'll never hear back from me or I'll counter.
You want a snow blower. You need a snow blower.
This isn't some entry level snow blower that is just gonna move the snow two feet away. This is an 11 HP Briggs and Stratton machine of snow doom that will cut a 29 inch path of pure ecstasy. And it's only 4 years old. I dare you to find a harder working 4 year old. My niece is five and she gets tired and cranky after just a few minutes of shoveling. This guy just goes and goes and goes.
You know what else? I greased it every year to help keep the water off it and the body in as good as shape as possible. It's greasier than me when I was 13, and that's saying something.
You know how many speeds it has? Six forward and two in reverse. It goes from "leisurely" slow up to "light speed". Seriously, I've never gone further than five because it terrifies me. I kid you not, you could probably commute to work with it dragging you.
You know what else is crappy about clearing snow in the morning? That you have to do it in the dark. Well, not anymore! It has a halogen headlight that will light your way like some kind of moveable lighthouse (only better, because lighthouses won't clear your driveway).
Oh, and since it's the 21st century, this snow blower comes with an electric starter. Just plug that sucker in, push the button, and get ready to punch snow in the throat. If you want to experience what life was like in olden days, it comes with a back-up cord you could pull to start it, but forget that. The reason you're getting this fearsome warrior was for the convenience, so why make it harder on yourself?
By this point, you're probably wondering why I would sell my snowblower since the first snowpocalypse is upon us today. I'll tell you why: because I heard it was time for you to man up and harness some mighty teeth and claws and chew your way to freedom, that's why.
This is my snow blower. Make it your snow blower.
The job I hold currently at Lucideas, I took from someone else.
I say take, I mean offered. My copywriter friend, Alan, was working here before me and decided to move on. So he called me up in NZ and asked if I wanted to take over his job and three months later, I arrived in Kuala Lumpur.
I was clearing Alan's desk and making it my own when I came across a little gem Blu-Tacked to the wall at the desk's corner.
It was a simple piece of A4 computer paper. And on it, was a list. Scrawled quickly and without ceremony in what looked to be an black inked Artline with a 0.6 tip. There was no title, just eleven points.
Any other writer would also not need a title.
Its instructions were quite clear:
1) Have something to say.
Otherwise, why are you writing? If there's no purpose, then it will show and people will stop writing.
2) Be specific.
You've worked too hard to have some Joe read your piece and not be able to recall exactly what you were talking about. Be sure to mention exactly what you're trying to say.
3) Choose simple words.
With most people, simple words are what we all know and love. The message gets across clearer. It's nice to fiddle with English and explore its nuances, but if you come out looking like a douche, then there's no point.
4) Write short sentences.
Short sentences are easy to read. They're more punchy too. Biff.
5) Use the active voice (SVO).
Sentences sound better with an subject-verb-object (SVO) structure. It's more active and quicker to say and read.
'Joshua plucked out his grandmother's teeth' rather than 'Joshua's grandmother's teeth were plucked out by him.'
6) Keep paragraphs short.
Keep to the point. Short paragraphs can get a reasonably long piece of writing read rather quickly. Long paragraphs look intimidating; the look of your writing will scare people before they read it.
7) Eliminate fluff words.
These are words that we tend to add to our copy that don't actually need to be there.
Quick examples:
"He said that his father helped do his homework." Take out 'that'.
"We need to utilize his skills." 'Utilize' doesn't do what 'use' can't.
Some more examples in this article.
8) Don't ramble.
Especially in ad copy. You've got 2 seconds to grab someone's attention and 4 seconds to keep it.
Your girlfriend's father give you 15 seconds to convince him why he should let you take his daughter out. Do you stick to the relevant points, or prattle on about how you're making a portrait of her using all the photos she's tagged in on Facebook?
9) Don't be redundant or repeat yourself.
Repetition is a language device, true. But most of the time it's not used consciously. It's annoying enough when people say the same thing over and over. It's no different in writing. Sometimes, it can be used in a clever way in your writing, but most people don't use it like that. Don't you hate it when people repeat themselves all the time to you? You turn off, don't you? Same goes for writing.
10) Don't over write.
A lot of writers tend to have a thunderous need that comes from deep within their creative soul to express their thoughts with such great and wondrous illustration and elaboration, that it completely loses the reader in a jumble of articulation and eloquence. We would be wise as the oldest sage to be mindful of such a atrocious risk.
11) Edit ruthlessly.
Wow, that's a really well-written sentence. Good use of adverbs. I see that it doesn't really do anything for your message, though. You've grown attached to it? Aw. Get over it. It happens.
If I have to condense them, the rules simply state when writing copy, keep it short and to the point, but not without your own bit of zazz.
Maybe Alan wrote this list, maybe it was up on the wall all along. Nevertheless, these commandments were delivered to me (much less dramatically than certain dudes that live in the clouds) and I plan to uphold them the best I can, like any good copywriter should.
Account Exec: We need some copy to go in the place where they agree to the Terms and Conditions before submitting.
Copywriter: What do you want it to say?
Account Exec: Like, 'I agree to the Terms and Conditions.'
Copywriter: There you go.
Account Exec: What?
Copywriter: That's the copy. Right there.
Account Exec: 'I agree to the-'
Copywriter: Yes, yes. What you said.
Account Exec: Ok, cool.
Copywriter: Do you need me to write it down and email it to you?
Account Exec: No, I should be fine.
Copywriter: Great.
Account Exec: Sweet. Good work.
Copywriter: Sure.
"Mr. Tanimoto found about twenty men and women on the sandspit. He drove the boat onto the bank and urged them to get aboard. They did not move and he realized they were too weak to lift themselves. He reached down and took a woman by her hands, but her skin slipped off in huge, glovelike pieces."
- John Hersey, Hiroshima (1946)
This is a quote that is forever singed on the inside of my mind; it is such a concise yet illustrious way to portray the horrors of Hiroshima (and Nagasaki).
Every time I read it, I have to swallow. It's graphic, painful and extremely sad.
And that is only one, tiny excerpt.
If you read one powerful book in you life, make it Hiroshima.
Ok, I know I posted an article recently about how the best way to communicate is the old fashioned way of the bard; storytelling in person. Although it is infinitely entertaining and much more interactive, something more concise can be just as interesting.
I've heard this following quote come from so many writers, I have no idea who actually said it. I was told Mark Twain once wrote to a friend:
"I'm sorry for writing such a long letter for I did not have time to write a short one."
I suppose I should Google that, but who said it doesn't matter at all. It means that it's a lot more challenging to write something in fewer words. Give a (bad) writer all the freedom he wants, and he becomes verbose as hell.
To be able to sum up complicated ideas and thoughts into a mere sentence or even a handful of words is damned skillful.
And graceful.
Not to mention admirable.
And actually kinda sexy.
Which is why I squealed to myself in geekish pleasure when I came across this wonderful website: Espresso Stories.
Like the name implies, this site contains thousands of stories that are 25 words or less (the time it takes to read them and drink an espresso are roughly the same). All submitted by writers* from around the world.
It's phenomenal what people can tell in just a few words.
Other times, it can be frustrating as hell:
"Hi there! How was your trip backpacking through Europe?"
"Yeah, it was good."
Some of my favourite stories:
'This Is Ned' - Zac Petrich
'Blood Sucker' - Jiminy Rockerfeller Plaza
'Perspective' - Vijayendra Mohanty
'Doubtful Wishing' - Elisabeth B
'The Point Of No Return' - Colin Fraser
This is my most favourite:
'Illiterate' - Lorenzo Trenti
*I say 'writers', but that just means anyone, really. Ever written a status update or a tweet that people have particularly responded to? It could be a best-seller on Espresso Stories.

Earlier this morning, our team was waxing on about Google's (GOOG) record share price, and whether the company would maintain its dominance for years to come. We got to talking about big-shot online players of the past, and I mentioned that a lot of the top sites from years ago are now either gone or, worse, forgotten. So, when I came across Max Freiert's recent post on the Compete blog, "Internet Allstars '01: Where are they now?", I felt vindicated.
As you can see, not only has almost every site on the list (save for Google and a few others) dropped considerably, there's (obviously) no sign of many of today's top players. No Facebook. No MySpace. No Wikipedia. No Craigslist. In fact, a lot of folks around here were surprised to see that Google came in at #12 — which seems pretty high, although this was when they started to get popular.
Say what you will about "attention" as a metric; it still shows that being the Web's "next big thing" isn't necessarily a goal worth having. (No offense to Neopets.com, but free cartoon screen saver downloads don't quite have the "wow"-factor they used to.) Six trips around the Sun may not be a long time in human-years, but in Internet-years, it's a lifetime.
When one company owns 40% of the market for online advertising, it's just not sustainable (30% would be a much healthier number). Google may be one of the most important companies of this Internet era, but let's face it: they don't have the assets or a General Motors or the customer loyalty of, say, Wal-Mart. The other search engines are innovating faster. And, let's not forget, Microsoft will go to great lengths to steal advertising market share.
Online, success means running a marathon, not sprinting to the top. As we've said since 2001, beware of selling yourself short on traffic.
What do you think? Will Google be the top dog in another six years?
Yea, I think Google will still be top dog. Today they scooped up Jaiku and they will continue to buy small companies at a discount. Plus Google will be following the success of Facebook applications to move into a better position with Social Networking. Google originally wanted to you to search and leave, now they also want you to be addicted to all their free services for years to come. It will take a lot for another company to get more "attention".
Yes, as long as Google continues to acquire smaller companies with potential such as Kaltix (2003), Ignite Logic (2004), Keyhole, Inc (2004)., Where2 (2004), Urchin Software (2005), Dodgeball (2005), Measure Map (2006), Orion (2006), YouTube (2006), Endoxon (2006), Marratech Video Conferencing Software (2007), Feed Burner (2007), Peak Stream (2007), Zingku (2007) and most recently, Jaiku, (2007) and more.
These purchases, among others have no doubt been the reason for the 381% increase since 2001. Take a look at the past purchases, there is a definite relationship between the, demand of searchers to the supply from Google. As long as it (Google) continues to 'listen' it will continue growth. Google is moving along at a steady pace, look at the acquisitions and then take a glance in the direction that the average user is looking, Google seems to be one step ahead.
I wonder what Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin think of their creation now?
[...] touched on the topic yesterday, and Scoble, Dave Winer and the Guardian are debating the concept over at Techmeme. [...]
That is an interesting list that you linked to, but note that the methodology is a bit suspect, as several people in the comments pointed out.

The Early Films of 7 Modern DirectorsFeatures By Monika Bartyzel on September 18, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
I love looking at filmmakers' early work. Sure, it might be juvenile or lacking the grace of experience, but it's also the artistic eye before fame, celebrity personas or narrowly honed visions. It's the work they made before output was partially (if not totally) influenced by investors, studios and critics. First films can be like cinematic diaries of the directors' vision – like David Lynch's iconic Eraserhead, which is now on Criterion Blu-ray with almost all of his short films – or whiffs of artistry before the mainstream. Some, sadly, are still out of reach to the Internet masses, though they'd be fascinating first glimpses at cinematic themes and techniques. Long before 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen debuted with a revealing video installation, Bear, which only makes the rounds at live events. Kathryn Bigelow "plays down" her first film from 1978, The Set-Up, where Gary Busey and another guy fight each other as semioticians deconstruct the images – a film that certainly speaks to her future work, but hasn't been released for modern audiences. And though someone who thinks they're clever put up a slave scene on YouTube, insisting it was Spike Lee's first film, his debut – the Super 8 film Last Hustle in Brooklyn – is actually about "Black people and Puerto Rican people looting and dancing." Those three might remain out of reach, but here eight filmmakers' early visions that speak to humor, darkness, unexpected twists, and for one – an artistry before an obsession with […]
David Lynch Offers a Surreal Ice Bucket Challenge as Only He CanFeatures By Scott Beggs on August 27, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
An iced coffee, a trumpeted rendition of a magical tune, and the man from the White Lodge. David Lynch has now transformed the ephemeral absurdity of the ice bucket challenge into physical absurdity. It's enough to make you wonder why thousands of people have made videos of themselves being doused in freezing water. Think about how truly strange that is for a moment. Like we were all hypnotized, allowed by society to be socially bizarre for a good cause. The two funniest moments are when Lynch says, "I'm taking the challenge" so sweetly (we don't even have to ask which challenge he's talking about), and when he says, "The second bucket…" so casually after his mid-musical, caffeinated sloshing. Perfect comic timing. Of course, both laugh lines are due in large part to Lynch now being a fantastically adorable old man. Life just keeps staying weird. Source: The Film Stage

David Lynch Subverted a Franchise to Ensure a Sequel to 'Dune' was ImpossibleFeatures By Kevin Carr on April 18, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Anyone who knows David Lynch's work is familiar with his penchant for messing with the audience. One only has to look at how he ended his popular series Twin Peaks, or pretty much any part of the mind-bending Eraserhead, to realize this. Even though in the early 1980s, Lynch had been courted as a potential director for some major films (including Return of the Jedi… wouldn't you have liked to see the Ewoks in that version?), he had his big studio break with the adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. While it was a commercial and critical failure, Dune also represents Lynch's subversive filmmaking nature, more than some people even realize. At the time, Hollywood was looking for the next Star Wars, much like how they are furiously searching for the next Hunger Games now with films like Divergent and The Maze Runner. Dune had been in development since the early 1970s, and it finally got off the ground with Lynch at the helm. Lynch was a bold choice for the film, considering he was handed a massive potential franchise when he was known for more intimate and often obscure and surreal personal films. Ultimately, Lynch made a film that ensured a sequel was impossible, and that was a brilliant though almost career-ending move.
Movie Houses of Worship: Minneapolis's The Trylon MicrocinemaFeatures By J.L. Sosa on January 26, 2014 | Comments (1)
The Trylon Microcinema Location: 3258 Minnehaha Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN No. of Screens: 1 Opened: July 2009 History: You can't properly tell the story of the Trylon without pausing to remember the late, great Oak Street Cinema, an Art Deco style movie house in Minneapolis that screened classic and indie selections from around the world. The Oak Street was kind of like my first car: It was old, clunky and died an ignoble death, but it took me places I'd never been. Trylon repertory programmer Barry Kryshka takes the story from here: "A lot of the people who were instrumental in founding the Trylon were involved in the Oak Street Cinema. The big impetus was we loved the programming the Oak Street was doing, and when it stopped we wanted to continue it somewhere else, some way." Barry and others launched the nonprofit Take-Up Productions and started showing movies in 2006 anywhere they could, whether it was in a city park or a back alley. By 2009, the group had saved up enough to buy their own permanent space, in a former art supply store. "We built out the theater and the projection booth," says Barry. "It was a warehouse, basically."
The Greatest Trick David Lynch Ever PulledFeatures By FSR Staff on July 17, 2013 | Comments (2)
Looking for any excuse, Landon Palmer and Scott Beggs are using the 2012 Sight & Sound poll results as a reason to take different angles on the best movies of all time. Every week, they'll discuss another entry in the list, dissecting old favorites from odd angles, discovering movies they haven't seen before and asking you to join in on the conversation. Of course it helps if you've seen the movie because there will be plenty of spoilers. This week, they fall down the rabbit hole of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive with an exit strategy. In the #28 movie on the list, a young woman with stars in her eyes helps an actress with amnesia discover who she is, and why she has a stack of cash and a mysterious blue key in her purse. But why is it one of the best movies of all time?
Casting Couch: Infamous Cut-Up Harrison Ford Joins 'Anchorman 2,' More Names Announced For 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' and MoreCasting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 4, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
What is Casting Couch? It's your handy roundup of news stories regarding which actors managed to land gigs over the weekend. Today we have an update on what's going on with Guardians of the Galaxy as well as news of who gets to be Johnny Depp's latest leading lady. Film fans have been keeping a close eye on Harrison Ford in recent weeks, just waiting for the official confirmation that he's going to be reprising his legendary role as Han Solo in J.J. Abrams' new Star Wars movie. Today we all got a curve ball thrown at us though. While it's looking more and more likely that Ford will indeed be revisiting his legendary role, it also appears that he's not done making new legends. THR is reporting that he's now the latest name to sign on to Anchorman 2, where he'll be playing a "legendary newscaster" who's being likened to Tom Brokaw. Given that description, one can't help but imagine a perfectly quaffed Ford smelling of tanned leather, scotch, and stale tobacco, and wonder if this character is going to be a rival to Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy, or possibly a mentor figure. Either way, it should be interesting to see Ford going for something this broadly comedic. You know, given how grumpy he is.
7 Directors Who Got Their Start in Science FictionCinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 7, 2012 | Comments (5)
Science fiction has long been considered by some experts to be a lesser genre than traditional dramas and character studies. Because it lends itself so easily to exploitation, science fiction isn't always given the respect it deserves. Sure, it tends to be a box office winner, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the all-time domestic grossing films fit easily in that genre (with at least two more – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Shrek 2 – marginally related as genre films). Still, some still consider science fiction something not to be taken seriously. It is for this reason that "legitimate" film directors might shy away from science fiction in lieu of more important or significant projects. However, many directors got their start or their earliest fame from working in science fiction and other allegedly exploitative and pulp genres. This week's release of Prometheus reminds us that even though Ridley Scott has directed historical epics (Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven), military action films (Black Hawk Down), crime thrillers (American Gangster) and straight dramas (Thelma & Louise), he got his start in science fiction with Alien and Blade Runner. Scott isn't the only director to begin a successful career in science fiction. Here are seven other directors who started out or received some of their earliest success in this genre.
Peter Berg Wanted to Add 'Star Wars' and Grit to His 'Dune'Features By Jack Giroux on May 17, 2012 | Comments (3)
Another adaptation of Dune has been kicking around for a little while now. The last we heard of it was Pierre Morel (Taken) quickly joining and then leaving the project, a project which Paramount soon after dropped. Four years ago a genuinely enticing filmmaker got attached to finally make it happen: Peter Berg. Berg, for those of you who don't know, has his gigantic board game adaptation Battleship opening in theaters tomorrow. The Kingdom and Friday Night Lights director isn't the first person to spring to mind when you think Dune, but Berg was certainly the most interesting director whose name was mentioned. The director can certainly do epic and big, but could he do fantasy? Either way, his plans fit nicely into his signature style: gritty and rough. When asked about what his plans for the film were, Berg told us, "My feeling was, I wanted to make a grittier, rougher film than the [David] Lynch movie. My experience with Dune was just a really great adventure story, and it was muscular, violent, and intense. Obviously there was a very cerebral, mystical, almost-supernatural component to it, and mind communication, and the Bene Gesserits were kind of a bunch of badass witches. At its core, I wanted to make something that felt more like Star Wars, where it just had more grit to it."
8 More Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been MadeCinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on May 10, 2012 | Comments (1)
The flames are hot here in development hell, and there's way too much cocaine. Way, way too much. So why wouldn't we come back? When we first examined 8 Promised Movies That Still Haven't Been Made, it was an exploration of the complex world of filmmaking where the smallest issue can derail an entire project potentially worth millions. Nervous executives, scheduling conflicts, hangnails. Getting a movie made is a miracle, and even those that get hailed in the press as moving forward are sometimes abandoned. Considering our national grand obsession with hypotheticals, here are 8 more movies we were told would happen that haven't (including some that won't).
What Google Image Search Thinks About Famous Movie DirectorsFeatures By Scott Beggs on April 10, 2012 | Comments (5)
Recently, Flavorwire got a kick out of a post from Slacktory where they used that ever-present man behind the curtain called Google to see what our internet age connects with celebrities. Then, we got a kick out of Flavorwire's answer which involved 25 famous authors and what the search engine had to say. The experiment is simple. Type a name into Google Image Search, and the program automagically suggests more words to narrow down your search. Judging from entries like "white people problems" for J.D. Salinger and "death, oven, daddy" for Sylvia Plath, it seems like Google might be kinder to famous movie directors. Some of the responses fully encapsulate the person's artistic output while others push toward the fringe, but all are shaped by what we're searching for. Here's a few things Google thinks you should add to the names of some of your favorite filmmakers.
Interview: Willem Dafoe Talks Turning Up the Heat, Mr. Bobby Peru, and 'The Hunter'Features By Jack Giroux on April 6, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Willem Dafoe delivers a quiet performance in The Hunter, Daniel Nettheim's observant character-driven feature debut. It's a character which relies purely on movement, expression, and action – all internal. The protagonist, Martin, a.k.a. The Hunter, is a man skilled in violence, and that's about as much as you can say for him for most of the film's running time. As you would've predicted, the character grows in a way of showing warmth and humanity, but, as Dafoe explains, not in a sentimental way. Martin is the type of character who feels at home in the woods wielding a rifle, rather than watching after a pair of children. Do not expect this to be the story of a cold man who in actuality has a big heart of a gold they're ready to unleash, because it's far from it. Here's what actor Willem Dafoe had to say about Martin, directors with intense passion, and Bobby Peru, the ultimate force of nature:
Culture Warrior: How the 70s Proved Mass-Marketing Wasn't the Only Way to Make MoviesCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 24, 2012 | Comments (1)
As much as I admire the incomparable films made during the era, New Hollywood (the term referring to innovative, risk-taking films made funded by studios from the mid-60s to the mid-70s) is a title that I find a bit problematic. The words "New Hollywood" better characterize the era that came after what the moniker traditionally refers to. Think about it: if "Old" or "Classical" Hollywood refers to the time period that stretches roughly from 1930 to 1960 when the studios as an industry maintained such an organized and regimented domination over and erasure of any other potential conception over what a film playing in any normal movie theater could be, then if we refer to the time period from roughly 1977 to now "New Hollywood," the term then appropriately signifies a new manifestation of the old: regimentation, predictability, and limitation of expression. Where Old Hollywood studios would produce dozens of films of the same genre, New Hollywood (as I'm appropriating the term) could acutely describe the studios' comparably stratified output of sequels, remakes, etc. What we traditionally understand to be New Hollywood was not so much its own monolithic era in Hollywood's legacy, but a brief, strange, and wonderful lapse between two modes of Hollywood filmmaking that have dominated the industry's history.
8 Great Films Made for Under One Million DollarsCinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on October 22, 2011 | Comments (16)
Since we all have a million dollars, our minds are almost always tuned to the day dream of what kind of movie we'd make with all that loose cash just lying around (since banks do nothing but lose things). Would it be a romantic horror film? Would it be a silent action film? Would we blow of all of it on lighting and forget the other elements of production design? Probably. Fortunately, we've all had a few filmmakers tread before us in using their million bucks with efficiency and artistry. In a world where Michael Bay needs 200 suitcases full of $1m, these directors made it happen with only one of those suitcases (or no suitcases at all), and they created a lasting legacy despite their lack of foldin' money. If they can do it, why not us? Here are 8 great films made for under a million dollars that we can all learn from. (And if you enter our contest sponsored by Doritos, you might actually win that $1m you need for all those lights.)
Culture Warrior: Directors Making CommercialsCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 16, 2011 | Comments (2)
We often don't think of commercials as having authorship, at least not in the same way we think of movies. Commercials are created by advertising companies, by focus groups, by strategists; not by "artists." But while the purpose of a 30-second ad may on the surface differ from the motive of a feature length film (though not always), both are media assembled through a particular economy of storytelling devices and are made often by a collaborative company of individuals. But commercials don't often contain credit sequences, and thus the phenomenology of its making is cloaked and the personalities who made it unconsidered. The focus is on the product being sold, not the creative team selling it. So it can be surprising to find out that well-respected, top-tier, artistic filmmakers often direct commercials. Sure, many filmmakers regularly make commercials as a more lucrative and less time-consuming alternative to feature filmmaking, and there are many visual artists who have honed an ability to express their personality in various media forms, but a surprising number of supposedly cinema-specific auteurs make commercials, despite a lack of apparent monetary need or professional benefit. This subject came to my attention recently because of a series of articles on Slate last week by David Haglund about the oeuvre of the Coen brothers that included the filmmaking duo's commercials in considering their larger cinematic contribution. It's an interesting way to view a filmmaker's career, for it forces you to look for their identifying traits and revisited themes via […]
Short Film of the Day: David Lynch's 'Rabbits'Features By Scott Beggs on June 30, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Why Watch? Because. There's probably only one man on the planet that knows what's going on in this short which stars (although you wouldn't know it) Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Scott Coffey, and Rebekah Del Rio as humanoids with rabbit heads going about a very quiet evening at home. It's interspersed with a laugh track, a few lines of enigmatic dialogue, and it's absolutely not for those with short attention spans. Rabbits blends the strange with the pedestrian in a way Lynch fans might find familiar and a way non-fans might find infuriating. Is it brilliant or just bizarre? What does it cost? Just 9 minutes of your time. Check out Rabbits for yourself:

Culture Warrior: 6 Movies That Were Booed at CannesCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 17, 2011 | Comments (9)
Yesterday the Twittersphere (a place where topics are only discussed in rational proportions) was abuzz with the news that Terrence Malick's long-awaited magnum opus Tree of Life was booed at its Cannes premiere. While the reaction to Malick's latest will no doubt continue to be at least as divisive and polarized as his previous work has been, for many Malick fans the news of the boos only perpetuated more interest in the film, and for many Malick non-fans the boos signaled an affirmation of what they've long-seen as lacking in his work. (Just to clarify, there was also reported applause, counter-applause, and counter-booing at the screening.) Booing at Cannes has a long history, and can even be considered a tradition. It seems that every year some title is booed, and such a event often only creates more buzz around the film. There's no formula for what happens to a booed film at Cannes: sometimes history proves that the booed film was ahead of its time, sometimes booing either precedes negative critical reactions that follow or reflect the film's divisiveness during its commercial release. Booed films often win awards. If there is one aspect connecting almost all booed films at Cannes, it's that the films are challenging. I mean challenging as a descriptor that gives no indication of quality (much like I consider the term "slow"), but films that receive boos at the festival challenge their audiences or the parameters of the medium in one way or another, for better or […]
Movie News After Dark: Rachel Weisz, David Hasselhoff, Star Trek and David Lynch Sells CoffeeMovie News By Neil Miller on May 12, 2011 | Comments (1)
What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly round-up of all things interesting and wonderful happening in the world of movies. At least, that's what it was born as. Lately it's been feeling as if it might be more of a Rachel Weisz News After Dark kind of column. A Rachel Weiszsexual, if you will. And yes, that's the technical term. It's a tough affliction to live with. Because their just isn't enough Rachel Weisz in the world. Luckily Hollywood is hell-bent on changing that… Guess what this week is… Rachel Weisz week. Based on a survey of our male 18-35 demographic, which represents a solid percentage of our readership, this is somehow preferable to all of my updates about Doctor Who. I don't see why, as Doctor Who is excellent. But I can understand your affinity for Rachel Weisz news. Anyway, she's not only in line to take a high profile role in Oz the Great and Powerful and The Bourne Legacy. According to a report from Cinema Blend, Weisz is high on the list to star opposite Johnny Depp in Rob Marshall's remake of The Thin Man. Even though that film sound unnecessary, we just can't say no to more Rachel Weisz… can we?

Dinosaurs and More Dinosaurs, 1965
By M. Jean Craig
I remember ordering this book from the Scholastic Book Services as a second grader. The monotone illustrations are
by George Solonevich and many of them have a funny texture about them, almost as if they were prepared using a muddy
colored clay. I have two copies of this book, one with a 1965 Copyright, the other with a 1982 Copyright. The 1965
version (the version that I had as a child) has a preface in which it is noted that the illustrations "are such a departure from
conventional illustrations [that] we have asked Mr. [Georg] Zappler [of the NY American Museum of Natural History] to
comment on them from a specialist's point of view." Georg Zappler then proceeds to justify the illustrations as "within
the realm of the educated guess." These illustrations need some kind of justification because many of them are just plain
The illustration, above, of an Anatosaurus would fit right in with other "typical" dinosaur illustrations from the 1960's.
However, the revised 1982 version replaces this illustration with one that is probably the most outlandish version of an Anatosaurus
that I have ever seen! (see below). The 1982 version also does away with illustrations of Prosaurolophus, Syrmosaurus,
Pentaceratops, and Corythosaurus that were in the original 1965 version. If you collect old dinosaur books, get a copy of this one,
if only to see some of the weirdest dinosaur illustrations ever found in a "serious" kid's book on dinosaurs.
Below are the illustrations of Prosaurolophus, Syrmosaurus, Pentaceratops, and Corythosaurus missing from the 1982 version.

A local family has reached an agreement with a school district after a girl with autism who uses a service dog was told that she had to change schools due to her teacher's allergy to dog dander.
Charla Gretz said a school official told her on the first day of class at Morrison-Gordon Elementary School in Athens County that her daughter, 6-year-old Shyanna, and her black Labrador retriever could not attend the school.
Charla said the official told her that the special education teacher at the school is extremely allergic to dog dander, and that Shyanna must transfer.
Shyanna gets overwhelmed by sensory issues and does not cope well with change, Gretz said. Her dog is trained to calm her and to walk on an attached tether so the girl cannot wander. Gretz said changing schools would disturb her daughter.
The school district has since said that Shyanna will attend the Beacon School, a school for students with special needs.
She will return to the district next year.

Three challengers file for village, school board seats
Three non-incumbents have tossed their hats in the ring for open Brady village board and school board seats that will be filled during the November general election.
Three positions for four-year terms are open on the village board.
Chairman Jeff Miller has chosen not to file for re-election while trustees Todd Roe and Lynn Herrick will attempt to retain their seats on the board.
Both Roe and Herrick were appointed to the board March 2011 to fill vacancies left by mid-term resignations.
Challenger Rodrick Brown, 107 E. River St., completed the filing process with the Lincoln County clerk and election commissioner prior to the Aug. 1 deadline.
In the school board race, four will vie for three four-year terms.
Incumbents Marge Spencer and T.J. Walker had previously filed the to be on the November ballot.
Both were elected during the 2008 general election, with Walker serving slightly longer after having filled a vacancy earlier in the year.
Longtime school board member Harry Haythorn did not file for re-election.
Official challengers on the school board ticket will be Ryan Stearns, 21847 S. Scott Road, and Bryan Franzen, 302 W. Popleton.
Residents still considering running for either the school board or village board have until Oct. 26 to file a notarized affidavit with the clerk as official write-in candidates.
The general election is set for Nov. 6 with the Brady polling site at the Community Center.Polls open at 8 a.m.

I haven't written anything in a really long time, other than PowerPoint decks, and I need to get back to my voice. It's been a little lost.
I've been working my ass off, I had a kid, my world has flipped upside down so many times in the last few years that I need to find a way to get back to what I think and feel.
This blog is an attempt to do that.
So what am I going to do this time around? I'm going to say fuck the rules, fuck the topic, it'll just represent me. Maybe it won't be interesting enough for anyone to read, but that's okay. It's for me this time.

Hey Friends!
It's been awhile since I've posted. In fact too long. But… so much has happened in my theatre life.
I've become a company member and then took over the Managing Director role at Glass Mind Theatre.
I'm also mid-run for a show I directed called And Underneath the Moon.
Okay - well that doesn't seem like that much when I word it that way, but let's say all the little things that cascade out of those two things are abundant.
Honestly though, I've been blessed to start working with an amazing group of people, not only the theatre company, but also my cast for Moon. Not only are the people I surround myself with colleagues, but they are also my Baltimore family.
I love my day job. I'm good at it, it gives me purpose and it provides for the life that I have. My work in theatre feeds my artistic soul though, and keeps my head in the right place.
Well it's the holiday times, and Glass Mind has taken on the ambitious goal of raising $5,000 before the end of the year. To do my part, I'm making it my personal goal to raise $600 in the next 3 weeks.
Here's where my friends and family come in. I need your help.
At Glass Mind, we're really committed to making theatre accessible - for us that manifests in many ways:
So here is where you come in. I'm asking you to donate $10 to GMT before December 31st. If I can get 60 of my friends and family to donate $10 each, I'll make my personal fundraising goal.
I'm only asking for $10, but feel free to donate more if you can.
The incentive. If I hit my personal fundraising goal, I will send (or hand deliver depending on where you live) the top 5 donors, by amount, a dozen of my awesome Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies w/ White Chocolate Morsels or my Dark Chocolate Espresso Cookies - your choice - in an awesome holiday tin. And trust me, I'm an awesome baker.
To ensure that I can keep track of your donations (and see who gets the baked goodness), please email me at lmorton [at] glassmindtheatre [dot] com after submitting your donation.
Online. Through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas. They help DIY artists like Glass Mind be able to function as a non-profit.
By Mail. Send a check made out to "Fractured Atlas", with "Project: Glass Mind Theatre" written in the memo line to:
Glass Mind Theatre
P.O. Box 19013
Baltimore, MD 21284.
Please be sure to include your Name, Address and Email with your check so we can make sure to get you a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.
All donations will receive a receipt from Fractured Atlas.
Alright, so that's enough from me. I hope that you don't hate me for turning a blog post into an ask for donations. It's just Glass Mind means a lot to me. I feel like I finally have an artistic home, a place to take risks and really explore the next phase of my life as an artist. I hope you'll join in supporting this amazing group of people I have the pleasure of working with.
There's been a lot going on in my theatre life lately, almost too much to have time to write about it all (I'll break it down soon, I promise!). But when someone from your past makes their final exit, it's time to slow down and reflect on their role.
I recently learned that Rusty Clauss has passed. If you grew up during theatre in Fairfax county, more than likely you had some exposure to Rusty or her work. She was a force who came in a very small package.
I remember when I used to hug her, even then I felt as though if I squeezed too hard I'd break her, yet she had the tenacity of a terrier, always pushing us to challenge ourselves further.
I met Rusty when I attended Edison for high school. Though she had taught there prior, she was not my theatre teacher. Every year as a part of the Folger Shakespeare Festival (I think that's what it was called, it was a bunch of high schools performing at the Folger) we would prepare a Rusty Clauss cutting of Willy Shakes. Her work taught me about the continuity of storylines, what was okay to throw away and what was vital to keep the audience engaged in what was happening.
Her cutting allowed me to play Queen Margaret in Richard III fifty years before I should have. Her cutting of Hamlet allowed me as a young artist to try my hand at stage managing and costume design. That production also introduced me to Tapestry Theatre Company and Peggy Jones as I needed to go outside the Edison costume room to find what I needed. Tapestry gave me my first opportunity to play an ingenue (and I think probably one of the last times I appeared on stage in that type of role), they also showed me that people were writing plays all the time and exposed me to new play development. I also built a mean castle wall with Peggy and Rusty one day, and though Rusty had a good many years on me, she was as hands on as the rest in the building process.Those ladies popped the bubble of what I thought being a theatre artist was all about. They showed me that you can have artistic fulfillment without having it be your day job. A lesson that I live every day of my life.
Though Rusty's name was mentioned many more times than I had chances to meet the lovely, kind, supportive artist, I'm glad that I did have my moments with her. Without her, I don't know if I'd be the artist that I am today.
Thank you Rusty for all that you did. You will be truly missed.
Another installment on my artistic process for MIXTAPE. (This post was meant to publish weeks ago, but apparently I forgot to click "queue")
This time we're talking Viewpoints.
I've been using Viewpoints as a technique to create ensemble with the group of actors and to help them get out of their heads and into their bodies. The piece I'm directing is so heavily influenced by the music that using Viewpoints just seemed like a nature fit. Mind you, we aren't dancing, but expressing meaning through the use of the human form.
Anyways, if you've never done Viewpoints, it's interesting as hell to explore. Feel free to peruse my notes that I used to help acclimate the actors:
Crash Course in Viewpoints
Viewpoints is a technique of composition that provides a vocabulary for thinking about and acting upon movement and gesture. Originally developed in the 1970s by choreographer Mary Overlie, The Viewpoints theory was adapted for stage acting by directors Anne Bogart and Tina Landau.
Bogart & Landau think of viewpoints in two categories - Time & Space
* Tempo - How fast or slow something happens on stage.
* Duration - How long an event occurs over time; how long a person or a group maintains a particular movement, tempo, gesture, etc. before it changes.
* Kinesthetic Response - A spontaneous reaction to a motion that occurs outside of oneself. An instinctive response to an external stimulus.
* Repetition - a) Internal: repeating a movement done with one's own body, and b) External: repeating a movement occurring outside one's body.
* Shape - The contour or outline of bodies in space; the shape of the body by itself, in relation to other bodies, or in relation to architecture; think of lines, curves, angles, arches all stationary or in motion.
* Gesture - a) Behavioral gesture: realistic gesture belonging to the physical world as we observe it every day. b) Expressive gesture: abstract or symbolic gesture expressing an inner state or emotion; it is not intended as a public or "realistic" gesture.
* Architecture - The physical environment, the space, and whatever belongs to it or constitutes it, including permanent and non-permanent features.
* Spatial Relationship - Distance between objects on stage; one body in relation to another, to a group, or to the architecture.
* Topography - The movement over landscape, floor pattern, design.
Overlie's Viewpoints:
* Space - Architecture, Spatial Relationship, Topography
* Shape - Shape, Gesture (Behavioral & Expressive)
* Time - Tempo, Duration, Kinesthetic Response, Repetition
* Emotion
* Movement - different ways of moving your body/quality of movement (jerky versus smoothly), can occur in different parts of your body
* Story - How all the different elements influence each other and work together, focus on isolation first on it's own before integration
Through view points we will…
As a group:
- Learn how to move as an ensemble
- Learn about spatial relationships between the group
- Move away from a place where things are expected, safe, comfortable or middle-of-the-road to a place that is unexpected, in the moment and authentic
As individuals:
- Move from self-consciousness to consciousness
- See obstacle as opportunity
- Move with "soft focus, cool face, open heart"

8 Tips for Handling "Infant" Separation Anxiety

Infant Separation Anxiety
Infant Separation Anxiety begins around 6-8 months when infants suddenly become fully aware that their parents exist apart from them. They understand that their parents can leave, but they don't, however, fully understand that they are coming back. This can last several weeks to several months. Infants eventually realize that their parents are not disappearing forever, but just going to the bathroom! And they will come back.
In our " Mommy and Me " Program, we "practice " parents going away and coming back every time we play peek-a-boo and every time we use our colored scarves while singing the song, "Someone is Hiding" . This helps infants to understand and to manage their separation anxiety. For toddler separation anxiety we also recommend listening to one of our favorite songs on our Hap Palmer CD entitled "My Mommy Comes Back". This song is so reassuring to young children. "My mommy comes back, she always comes back, she never will forget me."
Here are 8 Tips for Handing Infant Separation Anxiety
1. Play "peek-a-boo" several times a day. This activity is a way for babies to "practice" their understanding of going away and coming back.
2. Tell your baby you are going away into the other room and then say a big "I'm back" when you come back.
3. Introduce your baby to other regular caregivers such as grandparents or a trusted babysitter during infancy for short periods of time. These experiences can minimize anxiety later on.
4. Keep your "good-byes" short. Prolonging your departure can give your baby the idea there is something to fear.
5. Match your body language with your words.
6. Flash a smile and give a cheerful wave. Your baby can sense your confidence as you walk out the door.
7. Avoid sneaking off. This interferes with trust and increases anxiety.
8. Instruct caregivers to redirect baby's attention directly after you leave. Make sure that your baby's transitional object or "blankie" is available so that the caregiver can use it to provide extra comfort for your baby while you are gone.
Watch for tips on handling toddler separation anxiety and stranger anxiety next week.

I really appreciate this article on separation anxiety, however what if you have the exact opposite situation when your toddler (now four year old) has no problem going to others. My grand baby has never had separation anxiety through out the years, and it has made me contemplate the possibility of R.A.D.,( Disinhibited Behavior). "Children with disinhibited behavior seek attention from virtually everyone, including strangers. This may happen when a baby has multiple caregivers or frequent changes in caregivers. Children with this type of reactive attachment disorder may frequently ask for help doing tasks, have inappropriately childish behavior or appear anxious." But he has not had multiple caregivers,(has a stay at home Mom) nor does he ask for any help with DAP tasks, and he does not act or appear anxious, he just simply has no problem going to strangers or little known people for babysitting on occasion. He just does not have the concept of 'stranger danger' in his head, this concerns me…am I an over protective paranoid G-mother?April 25, 2011
Thank you for your comment and question.
Yes, it is unusual for infants and toddlers to exhibit no separation or stranger anxiety at all at some point during their early development. It actually is something we look for as a normal part of growth, and we tell parents to celebrate the fact that the baby has a close, healthy attachment to mom and dad AND is realizing his/her separateness. Separation anxiety and stranger anxiety comes and goes and usually heightens during the second year of life.
Sometimes this stage is delayed and we see it later. Sometimes it comes in a mild form and is barely noticed. Sometimes there is a disturbance in the attachment or other stressors in the family that effect it. Sometimes there is a diagnosis present.
It is difficult to know what is happening with your grandchild just by your description. I would need a lot more information. Have you spoken to your grandchild's parents to get a history? Perhaps there actually WAS some separation and stranger anxiety when he was younger but it was not when you were around?
I am available for telephone consultations and would be happy to set up an appointment for you if you want to discuss this further. If the family has concerns, let then know that I am here for parent appointments as well and would be happy to see them in the office.

Here is my song "Mama Back Soon" I wrote for my own kids dealing with separation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_8EEzMj3IDecember 22, 2011
My daughter is 4 months old and stays with my in-laws about 20 hours per week. She is fine with them as long as my husband or I are with them. She laughs and plays and lets them hold her. As soon as I put my work bag on my shoulder she cries for me. At first it stressed me out which probably made it worse so now I make her laugh and tickle her and say bye bye with a big smile and it distracts her enough until I go. They say she cries a little after I go but then is fine after several minutes. Just wondering since she's young for separation anxiety according to all the websites if that means it will get worse as she gets older? Maybe it means she's really smart and understands this whole thing early! Lol. I should probably expose her to more people to get her used to it. I was a nervous child and she's probably like me but I'm trying to not be stressed or nervous and let her pick up on it!January 23, 2012
Thanks for your question, Jonette. Yes, separation anxiety usually does get worse as your baby gets older. It typically comes and goes throughout the first 2 years of life. Your 4 month old daughter has become much more aware of her environment and who is in it. This is typical of 4 month old infants. She has figured out that when you put on your work bag, you are going to leave which means she is developing real memory! She is letting you know she doesn't like it when you leave which is also typical at this age. Babies between the ages of 4 and 6 months usually become much more "discriminating" about their attachment figures,usually preferring their primary attachment figure, mom.This also is typical. As she begins to crawl away from you she will experience an increase in separation anxiety again until she develops object permanence. The good news is that your baby recovers quickly after you leave right now. It helps when you make the good-bye short and positive. Let her you will always come back and follow some of the other suggestions mentioned in the article. This will help.January 24, 2012
I have recently started sitting for a 4 month old a few hours a day. Initially she was comfortable with me, cooing at me and smiling, she napped for me too. When it came time to give her a bottle, she became very upset. Her parents say she was having some trouble with the bottle, but not much. It seemed more that she just didn't want the bottle from me, pretty much a stranger. The next day she was asleep when I arrived, but was very upset when I picked her up at the conclusion of her nap. Her mother and I have been trying to "introduce" me to her, having her hold her while I play with her and vice versa. It seems to be working pretty well, she has been calm when the mother leaves, but the bottle is still an issue. I have experience with infants who really struggled with the bottle but, I don't think it is just the bottle that is the issue. I feel it is a combination of wanting to nurse and having separation anxiety. Do you have any suggestions?March 22, 2012
Hi Tess, I agree it is both of those issues, separation anxiety and wanting to nurse. It is best if you can arrive before the baby goes down for her nap. That way, she is not surprised when she wakes up and mommy is not there. You need to have lots of contact with her so that you are not a stranger and she is familiar with you. Feel free to email me at email@example.com. I have some other suggestions to offer and there is more room to write you if it is by email. Look forward to connecting with you again.

My 6 month old has a major sleep issue which began at 4 months. While at first I thought it was acid reflux, the medication has only prevented her from waking screaming once in awhile. Now, she is still waking at night and the only comfort is giving her my hand which she grabs onto tightly and puts to her face. The doctor believed from day one that this sleep issue was really separation anxiety… Last night was my breaking point. After sleeping soundly for 6 hours, she woke literally 12 times in an hour and a half, sleeping only for minutes at a time. Since I have been through this before, trying food as well as changing her in vain, I finally broke down from exhaustion and put her in the bed next to me. Within seconds she was asleep and slept for another 3 hours until morning. I am trying to follow the Secrets of the Baby Whisperer because my husband and I refuse to let her cry. If this is, in fact, separation anxiety, what can I do to address this issue at night?May 14, 2012
My daughter is 11 months old. She is friendly and will smile & wave to anyone and everyone…but that is where it ends. She will not allow anyone but me, my husband, my mom and her daycare teachers (2 ladies) actually carry her. Is that a normal part of separation anxiety? Also, one of us on her "chosen list" must be in the room with her or she will come unglued as soon as she realizes she is in the company of the "not chosen."August 7, 2012
This is very normal at her age. It is a typical stage in her development as she becomes aware of her separateness. The treatment for separation anxiety is to make yourself as available as possible. This may mean sitting with her on the floor while you do your work. You will need to let your friends and family members know that she is going thorough her normal stage of separation anxiety and she may be clingy when they come over. Don't worry. It will go away. If you are very concerned about it, please call our center and we can do a consultation over the phone or in the office if you live near by.October 2, 2012
My baby is 6 months old. I have been in the hospital 3 times since her birth, and have to go back in a month. She will not let anyone else hold her for more than a few min without crying for "ma". Could this separation anxiety be exaggerated because I was away? And, what tips do you have for us to prepare again?September 6, 2012
Yes, absolutely! The separation anxiety is exaggerated because you were away. The treatment is to make yourself as availailable as possible while you can and always prepare her for separations. Before you go into the hospital next time, talk to her about where you are going to be going. You can wave at the hospital when you drive by and even visit the hospital waiting room with your baby before you go in as a patient. Say something like "this is where mommy will go when she has to have her boo boo fixed (or whatever it is that you are having done in the hospital)." "Mommy will miss you and grandma (the main caretaker) will come to take care of you and soon mommy will come back." Also, make sure that she has trantional object to hold preferably something that smells like mommy. This will help to maintain the connection to you when you are not there. I often a make a simple book that tells the story of what will happen or what has already happened when there has been a separation (see the blog for making stories). If you need more help, feel free to contact me at our center. We can schedule a consultation.October 2, 2012
My 11 month old is fine if we are at home, but if we go anywhere he cries if anyone else holds him. This has been going on for about 2 months, I feel like he will never grow out of it, it is really hard on me and everyone who is around us.
He won't even let his grandparents hold him.
Any advise would be great.
thanksSeptember 19, 2012

My daughter is 9 months old. She used to love being at the crèche at gym. She would cry when I went to put her back in her pram. The last two times however the staff told me that she would cry if the tried to put her down. At home she is not at all like this and loves rolling around ( not quite crawling yet) or sitting and playing. Is there anything I can do about this? I really need the exercise for my well being, but not want to make her distraught!
Thanks heaps,
Brittany R.October 16, 2012
Hi Brittany, At nine months, your daughter could definitely having separation anxiety. As long as the daycare provider is able to hold and comfort her, leaving her for a little while should not be a problem. If she is not able to provide her with comfort, it is probably not a good idea to leave her right now. This stage is temporary and will pass. Let me know how it's going. MarileeNovember 13, 2012
Thank you for your communication and questions about separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is very common in 9 month old babies. As babies begin to crawl and move away from Mommy there is a sudden realization of their own separateness which can be scarey. The baby cries because she has not yet developed an understanding of
" object permanency" which is the knowlege that objects and people exist even when we cannot see them. Over time your baby will come to understand that you and other people do exist when she cannot see them and the anxiety about separation will lessen. Your baby will begin to understand that Mommy goes away and she always comes back. But right now, she is anxious when you are out of her sight and she needs your helpand patience to develop her understanding of "object permanancy". You can help by using your voice to maintain contact when you walk into another room. You can play games with her like "peek-a-boo" during which you go away for a minute and come back right away. You can also cover up toys and other objects with a blanket or towel and then playfully uncover the toy, saying "peek-a-boo"! The "treatment" for separation anxiety is to remain close and allow your baby more access to you while she is going through this stage of development. Sit on the floor and let the baby crawl up to you to check in when she needs to.
Sneeking out actually worsens separation anxiety and this may be the reason for your baby's "severe" reaction. When you sneek out your baby learns to be "on guard" all the time because she never knows when you will disappear again. She will cry more because she is worrying that at any moment you will go away again. My recommendation is to develop a "good-bye" ritual and always use it when you leave. Even if your baby cries and tantrums. Never sneek out. Over time your baby will become less anxious and the crying will lessen too. She will learn that she can count on you to always let her know when you are going away. And then she will learn that she can always count on you to come back.August 19, 2011
