Capone makes an emergency landing to talk FLIGHT with director Robert Zemeckis!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
So when you're given a very limited amount of time with a director with a track record as solid as Robert Zemeckis, your choices are limited. As much as I would have loved to spend all of my time wit him going over his entire career, spending endless minutes covering the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy, FORREST GUMP, USED CARS, ROMANCING THE STONE, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?, DEATH BECOMES HER, CONTACT, CAST AWAY, or his recent commitment to stop-motion animation works like THE POLAR EXPRESS, BEOWULF and A CHRISTMAS CAROL, I'd probably end up covering maybe two of those films, running out of time, and ending up with an unusable interview.
Zemeckis' films are such a part of the film zeitgeist, we almost don't realize it. Hardly a week goes by with some reference or joke being made about FORREST GUMP; entire online communities have been built around the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies; and Zemeckis himself can't do an interview without being asked about the long-discussed ROGER RABBIT sequel (sounds like the first draft of the script is complete; I asked).
Fortunately, his latest film, FLIGHT, about a substance abusing pilot who just happens to successfully land a passenger jet in distress, is such a powerhouse success of a drama that I was able to focus primarily on it during our 15-minute chat, saving my career-spanning questions for (hopefully) another day. With FLIGHT, the 61-year-old Zemeckis arms himself with as strong a cast as he's ever had--led by Denzel Washington, in one of the most gripping roles of his career--and what some might refer to as a micro-budget (relatively speaking, for a director like Zemeckis) and made a run at R-rated, high drama the likes of which he has never attempted, and the results are astounding.
Zemeckis was in his hometown of Chicago last week where FLIGHT was the Closing Night film of the Chicago International Film Festival, and I got some time to talk with him. Please enjoy my interview with Robert Zemeckis…
Capone: Hello, sir. It's good to meet you.
Robert Zemeckis: It's good to meet you.
Capone: So what does it mean for you to be back here? When you come back to Chicago, what does it do for you?
RZ: Chicago? You live here?
Capone: Yeah.
RZ: Okay, so you're not one of those guys from Texas?
Capone: From Austin? No. I just work for the guys in Texas.
RZ: Oh, okay. Well I love Chicago. It's the Paris of America. Look at that view [He points out the window of the hotel room we're in, which offers us a gorgeous northern view of the Lake Michigan beach front].
Capone: Yeah, you've got a great view. Were there lessons learned and attitudes born that you were able to carry through your career? Can you tell me about some of those?
RZ: Well, growing up on the far south side of Chicago and coming from that working-poor neighborhood, it helped me navigate the shark-infested waters of Hollywood really well. That healthy cynicism that you grow up understanding, growing up in this city is really a good tool to have in Hollywood. A lot of my peers who come from privileged families don't have that compass, and it's a very dog-eat-dog industry, so it's very helpful.
Capone: About the film, the question I took away from it was, "What is the truth worth these days?" It seems like it almost has no value anymore. Is it okay to give this pilot a pass, because of the lives he saved? It's a very cynical outlook on the world today.
RZ: I hear exactly what you're saying. I find myself every single day throwing my hands up when I reach something, and my new mantra, and it's really depressing me, is "Everything's corrupt." Isn't that how you see it?
Capone: Oh yes.
RZ: Everything's corrupt. I mean nothing is not corrupt. Anyway, to answer "What it's worth?", our story poses the question in the story in very human terms. So I think everybody has to answer it for themselves, but what I think is the power of the movie is that for Whip [Denzel Washington's character], it's life or death at the end of the day. So if it gets to the point where that's what is at stake, then you've got some real serious things to think about.
Capone: First of all I love that Denzel and Don Cheadle [they first were paired in DEVIL WITH THE BLUE DRESS] are in a movie again together, and their back and forth reveals that these guys hate each other, but they need each other. I love that Cheadle plays a Chicago lawyer too, like there's something slicker about a Chicago lawyer.
RZ: Of course. [laughs]
Capone: But they need each other, because one needs the lawyer to get off and the lawyer needs Whip to keep his winning trial record clean. Talk about that dynamic a little bit.
RZ: And that's exactly how Denzel saw it from the very beginning. He said, "I think it's really interesting that this guy is here to do everything that is in his DNA to get me off, and I hate him." And the same with Don. I am always fascinated by…and I understand why these attorneys work so hard to get these scumbags off; they do it because they love the system. They love the law and they hate the client. So it's like that kind of a system; everything is so grey and ambiguous in the movie, that's why I love it so much. It was all in the script.
Capone: How long ago were you introduced to this script?
RZ: I read it in February of 2011.
Capone: But it's a script that's been around for more than 10 years.
RZ: No, John [Gatins, screenwriter] has been writing it since 1999.
Capone: I was excited to see that you were returning to R-rated territory--the first time since USED CARS I think--but in the first 10 minutes, we realize you're not just returning to it, you're shot out of an R-rated cannon with this movie, with nudity, drug use, a porn set, a bit of violence. Did you set out looking for a more mature, adult subject matter?
RZ: Well it was the exact same impetus that I used to make THE POLAR EXPRESS a G-rated movie. First of all, I hate the ratings, but I have to live with them. The movie was what it was. The screenplay had to be presented. It's not a situation where you got a movie that has two "fucks" in it in a non-sexual context, which gives you an automatic R, because you can only have one. But this wasn't that material. This material was beyond rating. It just was what it was, and the rating is appropriate, but it wasn't like "Let's go make an R-rated movie." It was just, "Let's present the material the way it has to be presented."
Capone: I'm wondering, this is one of the most deeply flawed characters I think you've ever put in the forefront of one of your films. Who are some of your favorite flawed heroes or antiheroes?
RZ: Well this movie was very much like what was the coin of the realm when I was coming up in film school with all of those great movies of the '70s, where the characters were all antiheroes, and their movies were all full of wonderful irony and moral ambiguity and complexity. That's what I grew up loving, and this was just such a courageous screenplay, and Whip is a flawed character, but he's also really good at his job. So he's very good at this and he's very flawed here, so it's a really meaty character to work with.
Capone: What brought you to Denzel? He's done roles where he's played likable villains or not so nice guys. How did you guys sort of come together? Had you been thinking of working together before this?
RZ: We never knew each other personally until we did this, and when I read the script, I knew that he was interested in it. So as soon as I read it, I said "Well shit, he's perfect for it." I called him and said, "Are you really interested in doing this?" He said, "Yeah, are you interested in doing it?" I said, "Yeah." So he said, "Let's do it." Then it became this really long, close deconstruction of everything that he and I did all the way before we started shooting. So we both were on the same page when we got on to the set on the first day.
Capone: Are you talking about major changes to the character?
RZ: Oh, no. It's like you start with big global questions, and then you end up thinking about literally, "What color socks does this guy wear?" Somebody is going to ask you, "What color socks do I give this actor?" so you have to know. Again, you have to really know all of that stuff, and that's really the process. Then I heard Denzel, the way he understood the character; he understood how I understood it, and so we both brought what we needed to bring on the day.
Capone: Kelly Riley is going to be a big discovery for people, even though people may recognize her from the SHERLOCK HOLMES films, but it took me a while to recognize her from that. She's incredible. Tell me about finding her.
RZ: Well that's a real Hollywood story, seriously. I never would have thought to start looking in England for an English actress. She got her hands on the script, filmed herself doing a scene, sent it to my casting director who said "Bob, you've got to look at this."
Capone: Unsolicited, or was she asked to do it?
RZ: Unsolicited. She sent it in, because she just loved the character, and I saw it, and said "Wow, get her in here." She just nailed the character, nailed it.
Capone: What do you think it is that draws those two characters together other than just being codependent.
RZ: Oh my god, they're totally codependent, but there is one that's healthier than the other, and that's the good thing. And of course, it doesn't land in Denzel's world, but Kelly's character understands that she can't survive in this relationship.
Capone: Did the fact that this film was tackling such heavy subjects make it more difficult to get financing?
RZ: Oh, of course, but not the rating, because R-rated comedies are giant hits. It's not a ratings thing; it's the adult drama, moral ambiguity, complex character stuff that scares everybody. It's nobody's fault.
Capone: There isn't really a place for it anymore.
RZ: Isn't that sad?
Capone: Very sad, yeah.
RZ: It's hard to sell to people nowadays. So the only way that you can do the movie is to do it for a price, and we did this for $30 million, and of course Denzel and I had to waive our fees. So that's the only way that you can make a movie that's a complex story in Hollywood these days. But the studio really wanted to make it, but they weren't going to be suicidal. They said, "We love this, but we cannot risk it for more than $30 million," and once we were able to pull that off, then they were behind the thing 100 percent, because they really liked movies like this.
Capone: I've got to ask about the plane crash sequence both form the inside and the outside, but the inside looks completely 100 percent practical. How did you pull that off without people passing out and getting hurt?
RZ: Well it is real, because we built the set on a gimbal that could actually turn 180 degrees, and we filled the cabin with hearty souls and stunt people, who were happy to hang upside down all day, but our safety people only let them hang upside down for a minute at a time.
Capone: Oh wow, that's it?
RZ: Yeah, it was an arbitrary number. [laughs] The stuntmen were all like, "Really? I'm fine. Keep shooting." But you know, it's time consuming and it's dangerous, and we don't want to hurt anybody.
Capone: Were the crash visuals from the outside view a fairly sizable part of your budget?
RZ: No, I had all of these great GC artists that I had been putting together over the years. There are like 300 GC shots in the movie.
Capone: Wow. That's considerable for something like this.
RZ: I know.
Capone: I must ask at least one question about your legacy. There have been quite a few time travel movies this year.
RZ: What's the other one besides LOOPER?
Capone: In the last year, there was one called SAFETY NOT GARUANTEED; another called SOUND OF MY VOICE. Both were really small movies. Even MEN IN BLACK 3 had a time-travel element to it. But LOOPER writer-director Rian Johnson talked about how he borrowed elements from BACK TO THE FUTURE for the rules of time travel, and then added things that I've never seen used before.
RZ: How cool. Well I used H.G. Wells. [laughs] You travel through time, not through space. It's a very simple thing. I stuck with H.G. Wells.
Capone: He did a great job with doing the science-fiction, but also the human drama. Did you see LOOPER?
RZ: I have not, but I haven't seen anything lately. I will see it, of course.
Capone: It was great to meet you. Thank you so much.
RZ: Thank you so much.

Lucky, Capone. I couldn't even get them to choose me to ask Bob Z a question at the closing night presentation
by Kamaji
Bob Z was THE reason I attended the closing night, and I still intended to see 'Flight' when it came out (I've only missed one Zemeckis film in theaters, and that's 'Death Becomes Her.' Been seeing them all theatrically since 'Roger Rabbit'). Like you, I'd love to pick his brain regarding all his different films. i also feel that he's one of the more underrated directors out there. All the biggies (including Tim Burton) have at lest 3 dozen biographies, but Bob only has 1, and it's a POS (I skimmed it, and noted a few glaring errors). Maybe that should be my life goal to get me off my butt: write a decent biography on Robert Zemeckis.

Motion Capture DOES involve working with real people on set. Get educated on the making of Avatar, King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Rise of the Planet of the Apes before jumping to uneducated, foolish conclusions.

To me one of the greatest cinematic losses of the last decade
by Samuel Fulmer
Was Zemeckis spending almost the entire decade making mo-cap crap. I'm glad he's back in live action, I commend the guy for actually getting back to a smaller budget and waiving his usual fees (hint Hint Michael Mann whose last two films were well over 100 mil, and sure didnt' look like it), and I can't wait to see this.

How did John Goodman and Melissa Leo become involved in this film?
by tangcameo
Since I first saw the trailer and saw them, plus one other actor I've seen in Homicide and The Wire (the judge McNulty tells about Avon Barksdale in the very first episode), I've wondered if David Simon has a hand in this movie.
Could it be? Might Roger Rabbit 2 actually happen?

Great interview Capone
by t_allen
The fact Zemeckis was able to keep costs down and with a cast like that shows he is one of those great directors that doesn't squander the resources given. I like how you both went over the rating system, which sucks ass IMO, and how it relates to story and not so much getting tickets sold.

Made at the height of the pint-sized Ninja comedy craze, this fast-paced adolescent adventure stars teenage black belt Ernie Reyes Jr. as a California beach boy with a royal legacy. One minute he's a smart-mouth surfer and high-school jester, the next he's battling Ninja assassins, romancing a teenage princess (former Miss Teen USA Kelly Hu), and leading his subjects in a rebellion against a vicious metal-clad colonel (Leslie Nielsen). At least it gets him out of class. Real life karate kid and former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuntman Reyes has a winning (if somewhat loud) screen presence and Rob Schneider offers a few laughs as Reyes's clueless buddy. Nielsen, however, mugs his way painfully through a glorified cameo. More frantic than funny, with slapstick liberally sprinkled through the many bloodless martial arts battles, this one is strictly for the kids. --Sean Axmaker

It's dog-days on Durand Place in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. Paul and Joan Patti's chocolate Labrador Retriever Max, who they say is normally friendly, apparently attacked the mailman and hurt him pretty bad.
"I guess he was so afraid of the dog he raised his arm to push the dog away. The dog might have thought that he was gonna get hit. And the dog bit him," Paul Patti explained of the incident.
Now, the post office has cut off mail service, not just to the Patti's residence, but to the two houses on each side of them, a total of five homes on the block. Ron Zampella is the neighbor to the right of the Patti's and he says it's nothing personal, but his wife needs her medicine which comes through the mail.
"They said we delivered it, it's at the post office you gotta pick it up. Okay. The post office in Rochelle Park is closed on Saturdays, had to wait till Monday to get the medicine for my wife," he said.
Yesterday, when the noon mail delivery arrived, the mailman on duty, who was on vacation when the substitute mailman was attacked, said he himself has had history with Max the dog. He confirmed that Max jumped on him twice while delivering the mail and at times he felt like he could be in danger.
The post office says cutting off service like this is rare, but they added that they aren't going to put workers at risk. The Patti's acknowledge that the incident is their fault, but they can't see why the neighbors' service needs to be cut off too. Paul Patti says the Saddle Brook postmaster won't return service until Max has been put down or otherwise done away with, but that hasn't been confirmed. However, Paul says Max is family and that isn't even a consideration for them.
The post office is looking for solutions around the problem to help the surrounding homes get their mail delivered. These suggestions include things like moving the mailbox closer to the road.

Arriving a little too late to save Gavin Newsom from embarrassment, San Franciscan Lloyd Schofield wants to put a measure on the city ballot to ban circumcision, which he claims causes all sorts of psychological, physical and sexual trauma. (I'd ask my two sons but I don't think they remember the event itself and they're […] [Read More]
Courage, conflict, and context: digital timelines chart our lives
flattop341 Cowering under my jeep on a side road in San Salvador, caught in a vicious crossfire between guerrillas and Salvadoran soldiers, I was thinking survival, not historical context. A bullet ricocheted off the pavement and hit my gas tank, a few inches from my face. I yelled for two other journalists I'd driven there […] [Read More]
Would you like an O'Donnell with that Obama?
bobster855 Stop whining about the wildly eclectic nature of Tuesday's elections. This is all part of a design, intelligent or otherwise. When you open the cultural door to possibilities, you can't have a bouncer there deciding who comes in. The door is open. Period. Possibilities are endless.

5 Tips To Help You Cook At Home While Moving
Over the last week, my husband and I have started the (seemingly) never ending process of moving. We knew we'd need some bare essentials to tide us over for a short while and determined not to eat out, or have anything delivered, we packed a box, made a few lists and acquired a plan. So far, we're on day 8 of eating (well) at home, while also working day jobs and packing and running loads of our belongings to the new place (movers just aren't our style). All it took was 24 hours of prep time...
The last time we moved, my husband and I ended up knowing the Thai delivery man's name. I do believe we also saw pictures of his children, dogs and they knew our voice when we called. It was a sad, sad display for anyone, let alone a foodie. But when you've packed your 30th box of books and you can't fathom going anywhere near the kitchen, it's sometimes easier to let convenience get the better of you!
The amount of money we spent (and our favorite little place wasn't even remotely pricey) was ridiculous and the food made us sluggish and less productive, which in turn made us more and more annoyed with the whole process. We vowed to never do it again, and so far we're doing great with cooking from home and having dinner ready within a half hour of walking in the door.
Moving is a great way to clean out the freezer and pantry alike. There's always a box of noodles hiding somewhere and likewise a package of hamburger or turkey we froze and forgot about. This is a perfect time to use up what you have! We determined that with the base set of supplies below, we could make even the most lifeless pantry items usable.
To start things off, we packed a kitchen emergency box. In it should be the essentials to tide you over for 48-72 hours in your new place (or at your old place once it's all packed up). Here's what was in ours...
72 Hour Kitchen Emergency Kit Contents
• Kosher Salt
• Olive Oil
• 2 Lemons (and/or limes)
• 2 Red Onions
• 3 Heads of Garlic
• Heat Resistant Spatula
• Non Stick Pan
• 1 Kitchen Knife
• Dinnerware: 2 spoons, 2 forks, 2 knives, 2 glasses and 2 plates
• New Sponge/Dishsoap
• 1 Mixing Bowl
• Fresh Basil (although we managed to kill our living basil during the move!)
• 1 Bag of M&M's (because even we wanted a little sugar pick up during the evenings!)
We estimated that our kitchen and lives would probably be in upheval for the next two weeks. We're hoping that after 14 days, we will have had time to make it to the grocery store and have some resemblence or order to our lives once again. We decided to move, found a place, did a walk through and signed a lease within 48 hours, so we didn't have much time to put our plan into action. But managed it (along with laundry, packing and calling the utility companies) in 24 hours, here's how...
The 14 Day Plan
During a move, everything in the world gets moved, sorted and packed. To make our 14 day plan we wrote out a calendar of the next two weeks and taped it to the fridge so we never lost track. We made sure to write down other engagments as well so we didn't end up cooking something that took a full half hour to make when we'd really only have time for 5-10.
We keep a well stocked chest freezer full of meats, veggies (usually fresh that's been steamed and sealed) and other assorted goodies. This is where we started and plugged in the protien we had on hand in different days, we did find that tubed meats and prepackaged chicken have been the most helpful. They thaw quickly and have been the most versitile. We also made sure to plug in meals that used tofu instead of meat for nights we were extra short on time.
We added in our veggies and although it's just as easy to run to the store to pick up some fresh veg, we found it was beneficial to us to go frozen or canned. Having done a great deal of canning last season, we took full advantage of our previous efforts and dined on some of the most beautiful tomatoes, peaches, green beans, pears and roasted red peppers. They were easy to depend on and didn't even require refrigeration.
Next, we made the assumption that 4 days out of the next two weeks, we were just going to be too tired to do any cooking. We wish we would have changed that number to 6 or 7, but 4 was a good starting point. For those days, we threw together meals that could freeze up and be thawed a day ahead of time in the fridge while we were at work. We made a short batch of lasagna, a chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese (with hot dogs in it of course!), and an at home version of hamburger helper. Each one was put in a dish, foiled over and frozen.
As we've been moving and unpacking boxes, we've come across a more expanded version of our kitchen supplies and things like 1 bowl brownies and smoothies have started to come back into the menu. We feel worlds better this move, are full of energy and haven't been stressed about what we're eating or where it's coming from. Best of all, it's made our kitchen functionable and sorted faster than any room in the house, which is a first for us!
We have loved having foods that pull double duty around, a pasta salad that keeps well and can be dinner one night and late night snacks the next. Or tortillas to make any leftover into a pressed sandwich.

The last time I moved, I took some time off to unpack. The very first thing unpacked after the final round (I moved over the course of two weeks) was the kitchen. I was fully set up and ready to cook 8 hours after moving in and it made me feel so much better. Quick stir-frys and such work well if you're moving only a short distance and can bring all the food out of your old apartment.
To your emergency box, I would add a dishtowel or two, napkins and paper towels (or rags, if you're going paper towel free). If you have a pet, their dish and food should go in there, too.
Not a bad idea for a pending kitchen remodel either... I'll hopefully be using a list like this soon (yeah cabinets with functioning doors and getting my stove out from behind my side door!).
I wish this got posted at the beginning of June when I was preparing to move. Great tips/ideas though.
The last time I moved, I was in a state of denial (or naivete) about the time it would take to pack everything, so I put it off until the very last day. Granted, I didn't have that much stuff, but it took my boyfriend and I from 8 or 9 am until midnight to pack it all. We drove it to Chicago the next day and unloaded it all into his (already-equipped) place. Yes, it was 2 days, from start to finish. (It did, of course, take longer to assimilate things attractively.)
If it hadn't been for my darling Grandmother (dinner at midnight!) and Clif Bars, we might have died. :)
The next time around, I will absolutely keep this idea in mind; because I'm sure as heck not leaving anything like moving until the last minute again!
Good timing on these moving posts. My husband & I are moving cross-country next month, having movers do most of it and we're just packing the dog and a few essentials and driving to the new place.
I didn't realize movers don't deliver on a set date, it's a 7-10 day range, so I've been doing a lot of brainstorming about what essential cookware to pack in the car for those 7 days. Non-stick skillet (veggies sauteing and omlettes!), chef knife, paring knife, cutting board, medium saucepan for boiling water, soups, etc., though I see some cereal in our future!
Ugh. I wish this post had happened two months ago. We moved and you do't even want to know what we were eating during that awkward in-between period. Mostly eggs and random frozen leftovers but here was a good one:
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
We move at the end of the month, and I just looked around this messy apartment and thought "We'll never make it!"
At least now I know that in the scramble, we'll won't go hungry!
Great post! We use a rice cooker daily, and that was the first thing we unpacked and got going. (A bag of rice was packed inside.) We have a child, and I recall that hummus, crackers, and baby carrots made her happy and required just about zero prep. Another essential is eggs, but you'll have to pick them up when you get there.
I cannot live without the coffee maker set up. I prefer French press but there's no way to be cleaning that over and over during a move. A big (BIG) metal carafe of coffee, with whatever you drink it with, goes a long way toward happiness and mental health.

This is an article I have wanted to write for awhile, and I finally found the time to do it.
Wildlife Photography - There are many reasons wildlife photography is so addictive and fulfilling. We love the challenge of locating and successfully photographing the wildlife, and we love nature and the wildlife in it. Wildlife photography can be the most rewarding medium one minute, and then the most frustrating and disappointing the next. Some days yield no useable photographs, while some yield twenty. Wildlife photography takes studying locations and the species within them, and little to no sleep.
Your Responsibility - Giving yourself the opportunity to photograph creatures normally not seen by many people, comes with an important responsibility, a responsibility to have little to no impact on the wildlife while photographing them. We are out there to enjoy these animals in their natural settings, not to interrupt their lives or manipulate their surroundings. Negative practices, although they may yield impressive looking results, could physically harm the animals, cause them to abandon feeding locations and young, or become dangerously habituated to humans. There is definitely a right and wrong way to go about wildlife photography, and in this journal I will address both.
The Wrong Way - There are many types of unethical things some photographers do in order to get the shot they want. I will list some of the most common unethical behavior I have seen and heard about.
1. Intentional Spooking  - By far the most common unethical behavior I have seen in the field is intentional spooking. This is when a photographer intentionally scares an animal out of a location in order to get an action shot, or make the animal move to a more photogenic location. Every time I see this, it infuriates me. Examples I have seen are photographers throwing rocks in the direction of hunting herons to make them fly, honking a car horn under an osprey nest for a flight shot, and running through a tern colony on the beach. Spooking a mammal or bird away from a location can cause it to abandon young or give up on a feeding location. With coyotes in all 50 U.S states, and an abundance of other predators on the hunt, abandoned young don't last very long in nature.
Here is an example of this written by Iamidaho for inclusion in this journal:
"From about 200 yards away in a small meadow in Yellowstone I saw two photographers, both with professional grade lenses. Curious as to what they had seen I stopped my vehicle and watched through my binoculars.
The photographers were egging something on in the grass just a bit in front of them. Judging by the angles of there lenses the matter of there focus was very close to them, but I could not see what it was. You could see them waving their hands in aggressive mannerisms and hooting and hollering at whatever was just out of sight in the grass.
One of the photographers turned around and left his camera, and began wandering through the brush, only to find a large rock about the size of a small watermelon. He returned to where his camera was and flung the rock in the general direction. It crashed through the brush and stopped just short of where the lenses were pointed. Just than, a young newborn pronghorn antelope burst up and in a frightened panic ran in a confused circle, saw the photographers and in utter fear bolted again. Finally, in a clumsy newborn run, it took off over the ridgeline.
I could not believe what I had just seen.
Likely this behavior lead to the death of the baby. Pronghorns are commanded by their mother to stay still and silent, the mother cleans them religiously to the point they are odorless than she goes and forages for the nutrients needed to nurse the baby. She will return every five hours. "
Here is one more example, written by fubecando for this journal:
On a very cold, rainy May afternoon, I set out to find some wolves. *Iamidaho had told me about an elk carcass that was in the middle of river that he had seen a wolf eating from a few days prior. After driving around most of Yellowstone to some of the wolf hotspots, I saw nothing, so I decided to give this spot a chance.
The carcass was visible from a pull-off but unless you knew what to look for, you'd miss it. I finally found it and decided to watch the carcass from my car, as animals in Yellowstone are much more accustomed to not worrying about cars. I waiting for close to two hours until I finally saw something.
A large Bald Eagle landed right on the carcass and I had the pleasure of watching and photographing it pick at the rotting, bloated elk for nearly fifteen minutes. It was a brilliant sight to see. One of America's most elegant birds of prey in action.
The event ended very abruptly when a tourist from Utah noticed my white lens sticking out of my window aimed at something. He slammed on his brakes and immediately got out. In his hand was a point and shoot camera. After his first shot, he realized he didn't have near the focal length to get a close shot so he proceeded to walk directly for the bird. When the idiot ran directly for the eagle, the eagle spooked.
Some may think that its not that big of deal. It was spring and the eagle probably had a lot to eat anyway, right? In the world of nature, there is no guaranteed next meal.
Unethical to the max.
2. Cornering  - Cornering an animal is all too common, and one of the worst things a photographer can possibly do to stress out a wild animal. This is when a photographer gets way too close to an animal and either is so close that the animal is afraid to move, or has cut off all the animal's possible escape routes. Different species of animals have different responses to fear and being cornered. For example, when confronted by a human that gets too close, the northern saw-whet owls initial response is to freeze. With this species, photographers who get too close often think they have come upon a tame bird. I had the misfortune of seeing a photographer bust out a macro lens and hold it mere inches from a poor saw-whet owls eyes. Dont get too close, and dont corner an animal.
3. Capturing - Reptiles, amphibians and insects, are small, skittish and difficult to photograph. Some photographers think it is okay to literally capture them, and pose them how they like. This is disrespectful and unethical, as the strain and distress it puts on these creatures is not worth the photograph. When confronted, these photographers counter that the animal wasnt physically hurt, and was released after the photograph. How do you know it wasnt hurt, did it tell you? Here is an actual comment from DA, about one photographer's technique of photographing a wild snake I chased the male for about 15 feet and then lost him in the tall grass, so I snuck up on the female and nabbed her, she put up one heck of a battle, bit me 3 times, one drew blood!... but after shooting a couple of pics, I put her back near the male and off she scooted!" - This type of practice is unacceptable. Would you trap a wild fox or bird and pose it for some photos? It's the same thing.
4. Feeding - Feeding wildlife or luring them with food in order to get them close enough to photograph is a dangerous and unacceptable practice. Some animals around the country are so used to receiving food from humans that they get dangerously close to campsites and hikers. These habituated creatures are more likely to be struck by cars in human areas, shot by police because of their proximity to people, and many other negative things. Also, an animal that has been habituated to humans is much more likely to strike at a human rather than flee.
5. Dens and Nests - This is a simple one. If you know the location of something like an owl nest or fox den. Enjoy it from a considerable distance and keep the location of it to yourself. The absolute last thing you want is hordes of photographers stressing out the animals.
6. Dishonesty - If your photograph is not of a wild animal, and is of a captive animal at the zoo, say so. Nothing against zoo photographers, because zoo photography does have its purpose, but be honest. The wild animals gallery here on DA is becoming full of zoo animals, and some even claim these animals to be wild. A zoo photography gallery would really help. Also, game farms are awful. Trained animals are greatly mistreated and kept in unbelievably tiny cages. They are transported to natural locations for a photographer with a large checkbook. Some photographers then claim these images of tigers, cougars and other elusive animals to be wild.
7. Exaggeration - Don't exaggerate your settings or methods. If an animal was very cooperative and didn't make you work for the shot, dont say you stalked it for 3 hours and climbed eleven thorny trees barefoot to get the shot. Finally, dont exaggerate the elusiveness or skittishness of an animal. Dont say a common and easily approachable animal is seldom seen, and that it was a once in a lifetime chance that you managed to find it. An animals rarity does not determine its beauty. As another photographer once told me, although a specific species may be common in your area, it may not be common in others. Appreciate the time you have with any animal, not just the rare ones.
7. Local Laws and Regulations - Most locations have rules and boundaries that dictate where you can and cant go. Follow them! Also, some locations have rules as to how close you can get to wildlife. These are important also, as the people who made these rules, made them for a reason. Just because no one is looking, doesnt mean youre allowed to do whatever youd like. I know sometimes the, area beyond this sign is closed signs throughout our national parks can be frustrating; but remember, they are there for your safety, as well as to protect the wildlife. Remember, the more people that break the rules, the more strict the rules get in following years.
The Right Way - Observe wildlife from a distance. Dont attempt to interact with, feed, distract, taunt, or spook the animals. Keeping to these rules is much more fulfilling in the long run. You know your photographs arent contrived in any way, and the animals in them are going about their business undisturbed. Because distressed animals or animals in retreat look different from undisturbed animals, a keen observer can usually spot an unethical wildlife photograph. In the end, an undisturbed animal in a natural setting will look much better than a captive wild animal or a frightened animal in retreat. The goal of a wildlife photographer is to photograph animals in their nature habitat, capturing their natural behavior. The unethical practices listed above yield the exact opposite.
Acknowledgements - Thanks fubecando, Iamidaho, PeterJCoskun, and Nate-Zeman for giving me their input on the topic and reading this for me before I posted it.

"addons that automate inspect requests will be limited via server-side implementation during rolling restarts"
Yes! The death of GearScore!
"Since this isn't aimed at crippling addons that use the inspect feature, it's likely most or all of them will be able to weather the change"
kingoomieiii said...
Ugh. You know, you can replicate Gearscore's functionality with a macro? It just assigns weights to your gear based on slot and itemlevel and adds them up. You can't ban that.
Your problem is with the people who MISUSE gearscore. Banning it won't help and, frankly, it's stupid to try. They'll go back to demanding your achievement or directly inspecting you instead.
"Death of Gearscore" isn't something Blizzard can do. As long as you can inspect players, you can do that automatically (as long as developers are sane) and generate some numbers characterizing their gear.
Gearscore can be useful, everyone abusing it is a social problem. Killing this problem with inspect limitations is like killing racism by ordering everyone to wear masks.
The problem isn't that people abuse it. IT's that it's easier to exclude someone because of a generally accepted number system than it is to crunch down all those numbers or have a macro handy to do it for you. At least with achievements people quickly realize this person looking for people is an idiot, but with a universally understood and accepted ranking system, it's harder to ignore that someone who has a 3k gearscore isn't as good as a 5k gearscore person (though it's not always, and sometimes rarely, the case). If we went back to inspecting people and seeing their gear and spec choices when inviting them to a raid, things would be a lot less discriminatory I think.
But I'm glad people are starting to see it's useless. I deleted it the other day even though I love the gear comparison for master looters as a raid leader...made seeing if something's an upgrade faster without asking. But I was tired of continually seeing what people's gearscore was to compare to myself when I was sometimes better than someone 1k or more my own score on my toons. It's stressful and ruins the gearing game for me, since I always do things my own way.
Grovinofdarkhour said...
What I'd really like is a super tiny little addon that simply lets you mouse over someone and see whether they're using Gearscore or not.
That way, I can help rehabilitate the people I care about, and avoid the people I don't.
Jack Spicer said...
If they wanted to kill gear score, they would remove the item level from all gear.
Hoggersbud said...
That wouldn't kill Gearscore, it'd just make the addon maker have to add an extra step in the process.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - He's one of the most iconic images of all times, and his mission at promoting fire safety has been going strong for 65 years. Today Smokey Bear is celebrating his 65th birthday.
The bear, who's correct name is "smokey bear" and not "smokey the bear" has helped bring attention to forest fires for years.
His slogan "Only YOU can prevent wildfires" has been embedded into our heads for years, but this year he has a new message. He's asking Americans to "Get Their Smokey On."
"He's probably the most well known advertisement we have. Anyone who sees a picture of a bear with a shovel smokey bear automatically comes to mind. I have a 16-year old son and he knows who smokey the bear is," said Keith Ambrose, Captain at the Albany Fire Department.
The bear has the longest running public service campaign in U.S. history according to the National Forest Service and National Ad Council.

Composite siding damage/repai
Our home consists of composite siding. The siding appeared to be in good shape. The home is approximately 40 years old. We recently had the house painted in a dark taupe. Prior to the painting on a few portions, it appeared that there was running or dripping on the siding, but we thought it was dirt and would be covered by the new paint job. Our painter power washed the house and put two coats of paint. The house now looks as if the paint is running. Is this because their is a moisture problem? Is there anything we can do without replacing the siding?

Tenor René Barbera, a graduate of Lyric Opera of Chicago's Patick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center, has swiftly established himself as a young artist on the rise. At Placido Domingo's Operalia 2011 in Moscow, he was awarded First Prize for Opera, First Prize for Zarzuela, and the Audience Prize. He is the first artist to be the sole recipient of all three awards since the competition began in 1993. Earlier in the summer of 2011, he triumphed as Tonio in The Daughter of the Regiment for Opera Theatre of St. Louis. Of his performance, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said, "Tenor René Barbera…has a thrilling voice…His account of "Ah! mes amis" the one with the famous nine high Cs was tossed off with such apparent ease that some might wonder what all the fuss is about."
Mr. Barbera begins the 2013-14 season as the tenor soloist in the Verdi Requiem with the Melbourne Philharmonic, a piece he will reprise with the Seattle Symphony later this year. He will also be heard performing Bolcom's Lorca Songs with the Pacific Symphony. Mr. Barbera makes two major debuts this season, first at the Opéra National de Paris as Arturo in I puritani, and at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples as Count Almaviva in Il barbiere di Siviglia. He then returns to the United States to sing his first performances of the Duke in Rigoletto at Opera Colorado. Finally, Mr. Barbera finishes the season as Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore, first at Austin Lyric Opera, then at Opera Theatre of St. Louis.
In the 2012-2013 season, Mr. Barbera continued to make important company debuts throughout North America. He opened the season in his company and role debut as
Elvino in La sonnambula with Washington Concert Opera, followed by his debut with Michigan Opera Theater as Almaviva in The Barber of Seville, and his return to Lyric Opera of Chicago for his role debut as Ernesto in Don Pasquale. He sang performances of Don Ramiro in La Cenerentola in his debuts with Seattle Opera and Los Angeles Opera, and was heard as Almaviva at the Stanislavsky Music Theatre in Moscow. In the summer of 2013, he made his Santa Fe Opera debut as Rodrigo in Rossini's La donna del lago.
During the 2011-2012 season, Mr. Barbera was heard on the Lyric Opera of Chicago stage as Arturo in Lucia di Lammermoor, Brighella in Ariadne auf Naxos, and as Tamino in student matinee performances of The Magic Flute. Mr. Barbera made his company and role debut with Vancouver Opera as Almaviva in The Barber of Seville and made his company debut with Canadian Opera Company as Rinuccio in Gianni Schicci. Additional performances included a solo recital at the Festival of Music in Medoc, France, Rossini's Stabat Mater for the Grant Park Music Festival, and his debut as Tamino with Maestro James Conlon and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival.
Previous appearances for Lyric Opera of Chicago include Carmen, Un ballo in maschera, La Fanciulla del West, Lohengrin, and Don Ramiro in the Ryan Opera Center production of La Cenerentola. Concert performances include Handel's Messiah with the Apollo Chorus of Chicago, Rossini's Stabat Mater with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Chicago Philharmonic. Mr. Barbera is a 2008 winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and was a member of the San Francisco Opera's prestigious Merola Opera Program that same year, where he performed on the Schwabacher Concert Series and the Grand Finale Concert. In 2007 he won the Grand Prize of the Charles A. Lynam Vocal Competition, which led to his performance with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra. In 2006 he won first place in the Heafner/Williams Vocal Competition and First Place in the Charlotte Opera Guild Vocal Competition. Mr. Barbera studied at the North Carolina School of the Arts from 2004 – 2008 and further studies include the American Institute of Vocal Arts in Graz, Austria, and the Vocal Arts Symposium of Colorado Springs.

When an individual becomes dependent on drugs, his/her actions or defenses are troublesome because they invade the autonomy of others, merging boundaries just like infants merge boundaries with their mothers (Maxwell, 1986, p. 70). People with drug problems do not live in isolation. Their lives are intertwined with those of others, all of whom - friends, family members, coworkers, fellow students - are seriously affected by the problems that accompany the addiction. Drug and alcohol abuse disrupts family life and alienates close friends and relatives. It can sneak in and tear the family apart. And, as is usually the case with drugs, it goes out of control before you can do anything about it (Polson, 1984, p. 5).
Drug addiction and alcoholism each carries with them

Children with Past Lives?
Hello friends- I am working on a show called "Ghost Inside My Child" about true-life reincarnation stories. I am wondering- have you ever had a child reveal something to you that cannot be explained about a past life? if so, how did you react? Any advice for parents who are going through this?
I find the subject fascinating.
When my son was little, he told me that he had been a sheriff and his name was Rudy. Many years have passed and I don't recall the details that he gave me at the time.
Funny enough, in this life he doesn't like law enforcement!

Similar to Optifast, The New Directions Liquid Diet was a medically supervised fasting program - 800 calories per day - for individuals with a BMI above 30.
The Federal Trade Commission accused the marketer of New Directions - Abbott Laboratories - with falsely advertising the safety and effectiveness of this liquid diet program. Abbott settled the charges by agreeing to stop running the disputed ads, and to provide greater documentation for any weight loss and safety claims they make in the future.
New Directions shake products appear to still be available online. An 800 calorie per day liquid diet is likely unmanageable for any length of time for most people, but for some it can also be quite dangerous. Think twice before embarking on a program like this on your own if you think that may apply to you.

Often people wonder whether or not they should purchase life insurance. After all, that payment money could pay for a necessity such as food or a utility bill. Even so, life insurance is very valuable to have and doing away with your plan is not a good choice. If you are the head of your family, it is very important that you have life insurance.
If you are die prematurely, your family may be stuck without money to pay for your funeral or even take care of necessary bills and household expenses. Of course, contemplating your death is not pleasant, but it's smart to be prepared. If you have an adequate life insurance plan, you can be sure your family will be taken care of.
What does life insurance cover?
What is covered by a life insurance policy is determined by the beneficiaries. A good policy will yield enough to take care of your funeral and interment expenses. It will also help your family get by during the period of mourning. The average life insurance policy will give your family enough to take care of expenses for about a year. This will give them some breathing room to adjust and establish a way of making a living.
How much does a life insurance policy cost?
Costs vary. Be sure to compare all the different types of insurance policies that might work for you. If you don't smoke and you are in pretty good health, you should have lots of attractive options that you can afford. Talk with an honest insurance ageanty like RootFin.com to find out what their companies can do for you. Life insurance is usually quite reasonably priced. Making that little monthly payment can bring you a great deal of peace of mind and ensure that your family will be well cared for if you should pass away suddenly.

Reaching Google via Asia?
Across the Internet, yesterday, Google users twittered, blogged and emailed that Google search and mail were not usable. And, yesterday afternoon, on Google's official blog, Urs Hoelzle reported that Google "direct[ed] some [...] web traffic through Asia".
Ike Brings Biggest Multi-State Internet Outage since 2003
Ike swept across Texas on Saturday, devastating Galveston and severely damaging Houston and Harris County before plodding intensely north and east through Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. While many Texan networks remain unreachable, the recovery is proceeding remarkably quickly. From a peak of around 100 networks suffering outage through Monday, Ohio, still hard hit, is also slowly starting to recover. And Pennsylvania is the latest victim of Ike.
Ike Hammers Texas Internet
Ike made landfall near Galveston, Texas as a (high-end) category 2 hurricane around 02:00 CDT this morning. Today, we are all watching the destructive land-wake of the storm with our thoughts on those in its path.
The pattern of network outages seems consistent with other historical storms of Ike's ilk. The counties around Galveston and Houston, TX (most notably Harris County) have suffered a slowly climbing number of network outages over the last day. We expect to see this number continue to climb as the secondary effects (e.g. power loss, UPS battery failure, generator fuel unavailability) of the storm hit the region.
Pakistan hijacks YouTube
Late in the (UTC) day on 24 February 2008, Pakistan Telecom (AS 17557) began advertising a small part of YouTube's (AS 36561) assigned network. This story is almost as old as BGP. Old hands will recognize this as, fundamentally, the same problem as the infamous AS 7007 from 1997, a more recent ConEd mistake of early 2006 and even TTNet's Christmas Eve gift 2004.
Just before 18:48 UTC, Pakistan Telecom, in response to government order to block access to YouTube (see news item) started advertising a route for 188.8.131.52/24 to its provider, PCCW (AS 3491). For those unfamiliar with BGP, this is a more specific route than the ones used by YouTube (126.96.36.199/22), and therefore most routers would choose to send traffic to Pakistan Telecom for this slice of YouTube's network.

As many immigrants from Europe during the 1940s, Henry and Miriam Berkowitz were looking for the American dream. The Berkowitz family first arrived in New York City in 1949, after World War II. Henry believed in working hard and finding the best way to provide for his family. He also longed for the smell of green grass, fresh air, open fields and the cool breeze of the ocean. Henry and Miriam wanted to find a way to build a business, support their family and still surround themselves with nature's best elements.
Friends told them of the growing Agricultural business in New England. Rhode Island seemed like the perfect place for their dream to become a reality. Henry found his niche in the RI Agricultural business with eggs. In August 1955, Henry opened The Berkowitz Egg Farm. The business grew over the years and Henry passed down his business to his sons, Eli and Ralph Berkowitz. Nestled amongst the trees of rural Foster, RI, today the company is called Little Rhody Foods, Inc. and as proud owners, Eli and Ralph follow the same principles of their father: hard work, strong ambition and impeccable customer service. The company has several varieties of eggs on the farm, including their premium line, Little Rhody Natural Eggs. Most recently, Little Rhody Foods has expanded their business to include the distribution of other local RI products.
