William Fichtner is one of those actors you've seen in a million movies and TV shows. That's because over the past fifteen years, Fichtner has had memorable characters in The Dark Knight, Go, Prison Break, Contact, Armageddon, Heat, Invasion, Entourage, and that's just scratching the surface. But no matter the role, Fichtner always brings a real authenticity to whatever character he's portraying, and that's why he continues to land so many parts.
Anyway, in director Patrick Lussier's Drive Angry 3D, Fichtner is playing an all new character as he's an agent from hell trying to bring back Nicolas Cage. Needless to say, Fichtner told us he jumped at the chance to play this part. Hit the jump for a lot more:
For those not familiar with Drive Angry, you should start by reading my set report. But the quick synopsis is the film "centers on a man (Cage) driven by rage who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway."
What's great about the movie is that it's being filmed in 3D, it's a super hard R, and it's from the filmmakers behind My Bloody Valentine. Meaning…expect plenty of blood and guts! I'm super excited.
At any rate, back in early May I got to participate in a small roundtable interview with William Fichtner on the set of Drive Angry 3D. During the interview Fichtner talked about how he got involved in the project, who exactly is his character, how he prepares for his roles, and a lot more. I've been a fan of Fichtner's for a very long time, and I'm happy to report he was super nice and a lot of great things to say.
As usual, you can either read the transcript below or listen to the audio by clicking here.
And if you're going to Comic-Con this week, Summit is holding a panel Friday in Hall H at 2:15 – 3:15pm for Drive Angry. Here are the details:
DRIVE ANGRY 3D – In a Comic-Con exclusive, stars of the film including Nicolas Cage, William Fichtner, Amber Heard as well as director Patrick Lussier will debut footage from the high-octane, blood-spattered road trip through hell. In this newest action horror shot in 3D, a vengeful father hunts down the people who brutally killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby.
Question: We heard that you were planning on chewing up some of the scenery..
William Fichtner: Really? Who's saying that? (Interviewer points to Todd Farmer). Oh, all right so I asked for toothpicks, what can I say? I think this is the best role I've ever had.
That's a pretty big statement. Can you elaborate on that?
Fichtner: It's a really deep-layered character, and nothing's more exciting than that.
Can you tell us a bit about him? What's his deal?
Fichtner: Well, he wears one suit with one tie and one shirt. And he always looks really, really good.
Well, you looked pretty sharp out there amidst all the fire.
Fichtner: Yeah, thanks! A little wind-blown, but that's all right. Usually dies down around midnight. It's funny the way the wind currents work here.
There's a double-sided facet to your character. As the movie progresses, does it change the side that you play on?
Fichtner: My understanding of the events changes. And when that changes, I learn something. Yeah, it's very cool.
It's interesting because we want to talk about stuff, but everyone's being a little guarded.
Fichtner: No, really? Around here? Come on..
Could you talk a little about your character, talking about the movie, saying a lot but saying a little?
Fichtner: Well, it's what I'm trying to do. I really am. Like so many things, with this film in particular. There are so many things that you're just going to love to see later. It's just one of those, you know? There's so much we can't talk about that's really exciting. Nic's in this film, which is beyond awesome. I've been a huge fan of his for so long, and when I read this script knowing that he'd be in it, I read it and it's like "talk about perfect guy, perfect role" and I feel that about so many people in this film. Billy Burke playing Jonah King, I've never met him before but I can't imagine anyone else playing the part, I can't imagine anyone else directing this movie besides Patrick, you know? He's another guy that I think is just a perfect guy with perfect sensibilities to tell this story.
This is a 'Hard R', really violent film.
Fichtner: That is really safe to say, yeah.
Was this something that attracted you to the role or were you hesitant because of the violence?
Fichtner: The really hard R element of the film comes in many ways throughout the movie, character and action. But that's not really the driving force with the character I play. What attracted me to the film was the very first time that I read the story. It's got great dialogue and a really tough, hard R story that has a through line of a journey that's driven by one man's heart. Make no mistake, this is a story that has a heartbeat throughout and it's really powerful and never loses sight of that.
When audiences first see you, they don't know who your character is or where he's from. Can you talk about the scene where they first see you?
Fichtner: It might be 20 pages into the movie and you've seen so much by that point- colorful characters and grungy places and slap the 3D on top of that like eye candy. All of a sudden, this character shows up and there's no one else looking like him. Hopefully I've found the right rhythm; it's different because he's different. The first time you see him, he's just walking down the road, then I run into some people we've already met, a waitress and a short order cook. We have a little exchange and its very interesting and it has a little ballet to it.
Are they alive at the end of the scene?
Fichtner: Oh yes! I'm quite smitten with the waitress, actually. People live after they meet me! You know, pretty much.
Do you come up with your character's back-story?
Fichtner: You know it's great because one of the greatest pleasures of my life is to have as much time as I can before I start working on something. I knew about this one 2 months before we started so I could enjoy many bottles of red wine and think about it and call Patrick and run ideas by him, and he would throw me something and it would be very cool. The greatest joy in getting ready for the film is that there aren't many reference points for the journey and you've got to define it for yourself. So having conversations with Patrick and getting to meet Todd and the guys here was really a thrill to find the character. A week before we started shooting, I got here and we had time for rehearsals and those were different sort of rehearsals that I've never had before on anything because I wasn't sure that the way I'm walking, talking and thinking was making any sense. I remember when our first AD Steve Denton, the maestro out there, the very first scene we rehearsed, I asked him for large sides and he teased me and said 'you're not off book', and I said 'no, and I won't be until Monday morning' and I didn't want to be. I didn't know, we're still trying to figure out what feels right and the time we spent rehearsing in the coliseum hallways was invaluable.
You've played many different roles, do you rehearse for everything or do you like to improvise a lot?
Fichtner: When I was younger, I never wanted to rehearse because I thought that someone would figure out I don't know what I'm doing. Now I like to really spend the time and figure it out and rehearsal is to try something that doesn't work. It's hard to do that, because you always want to go with your impulse thought and you wonder if that's the one, did that work, you know? Sometimes the scene is a sad scene but you have to play it with a laugh to find out that that doesn't work or that there's really a part of that in it, and that's what rehearsal is for, we took that time.
A lot of actors say that they enjoy taking the first two or three takes while others take 10 or 15 takes. How are you as an actor?
Fichtner: That's a part of the thing I always say to Patrick. I say, "You've got a lot of film, right Patrick?" Cause the first 2,3,4, that's when people try things. That's when you start with the thing that you worked on, and the impulse and that, but usually by 2,3,4 if you feel like you got close to realizing that, then uh..you've always got to have 2 or 3 at the end to shake it loose, you know? To find the impulse thing that might not be there, but then as far as improv goes, a lot of that might be in rehearsal. I'm an actor out of New York, you know? You don't re-write a playwright's words, he wrote them for a reason so try to find what the moment was, and I think that about really great scripts like this one. In the spur of the moment I may have had an impulse to improv a moment in a certain way but I never felt the desire to do that in any sort of dialogue. It's so good the way it is, there's no need to do that- play with what he wrote, there's a depth to it..find it.
Your character has a certain depth about him, has it there ever been a point where it's been difficult to not get too excited and stay within that level?
Fichtner: I don't like to watch dailies or video playback unless I have to. We were doing a second unit shot the other day and they asked me to watch the playback because it has to do with a certain movement I was making with my arm. I watched the playback, and realized it was like "Oh, that's absolutely not the thing to do." And it was like "oh, you've got to do two more to try this" and as soon as I saw it I got it, but I think Patrick pretty much has his eye on that all the time and I do..I don't know, we'll see what happens.
Have you ever worked with 3D cameras before, and has that changed the process with the blocking of a scene and stuff that maybe you wouldn't expect when you go in a scene, like "Oh, I thought I'd be here and for some reason I'm here, because they need it for the 3D"?
Fichtner: You know, not really. I never felt that there was ever a moment like that, but knowing that it's 3D and I have a little one and going to see UP and Monsters vs. Aliens, 3D today is just so cool. You kind of get a sense of motion but I don't think it's a playable thing, though we had a scene once in a church and I had to come in and point to someone- I had to point to him and say 'What is that'? and our camera operator said, "You know, Bill, come in like this", and I got it, all of a sudden it was like 'whoosh' and I'm coming right by your head. Then you start twisting your hand around and it's like *slaps his own hand* 'stop'. I haven't found anything you can play it for; they're just catching the action, which is good. I'm glad that that's not..we talk about it, Nic and I talk about it sometimes, we're learning. We're learning little things, but I haven't planned anything yet.
I'm curious; you've played a lot of roles in a lot of different things in TV and Movies, what do you mostly get recognized for?
Fichtner: Well, it used to be As the World Turns back in the 80s- Josh, the misunderstood farmhand..military folks remember Black Hawk Down. It's hard to recognize anybody in Black Hawk Down, it's a fast moving movie, everybody looks the same but military guys will just shoot right across and thank me. I did a series a couple of years ago, Invasion that was cancelled after one season and that's a biggie because I remember at the time everyone was saying that Nielsen ratings were low. This show had no viewers, no one was watching it and that's got to be in the top 3. A lot of people asking me if it's coming back, and I'm like "no, it was 6 years ago, buddy!" That happens a lot, Invasion. And you know, weird things, I had a couple come up to me at a beach, they were walking with their kids, I was in Massachusetts like a year ago, and I always bring this up because it has happened a lot..I was at the Indy 500 at this really loud party after the race with all the drivers and this couple comes up and they come up and they start quoting liens from Drowning Mona! They're like "Hey, Shit Salad!" People are just starting to talk about The Amateurs a little bit because it's playing on Showtime. You know, Jeff won the Oscar and I did this little film and this is sitting right up there as my number 1 as well for the best times I've ever had working on something. Anytime somebody mentions The Amateurs, I stop what I'm doing and I'm like "oh, really", it makes me excited.
You had a very good cast in that film.
Fichtner: Oh, it was great; I think it was one of those situations where everything that could have gone wrong during the movie went wrong. I don't know all of the behind the scenes stuff but it just floundered and got lost and came out for like, 11 minutes and now they play it on Showtime on Saturday nights, which is great because people are seeing it again.
Do you find that when the movie is playing on Showtime or HBO that the next day you're like "Why is everyone talking to me about this movie?"
Fichtner: Yeah sure, yeah. Showtime or HBO, it pops up on there. Especially with a film like the Amateurs, knowing that Showtime was going to air it, that was great. Otherwise, who else is going to see it? People will see it, but that's a way of having a lot of people see it and then they'll mention it to someone else. I'm just really happy for Michael Traeger who wrote and directed it, that it's getting a little bit of an audience, a little bit of play right now.
You mentioned your positive experiences on Invasion- doing features right now, is potentially going back to TV something you're looking forward to or are you trying to stick in the feature arena for awhile?
Fichtner: I don't know what's next. You never know, it's all timing and the right role and looking for the right thing and an exciting thing. You know, I think that there's no doubt that to work in film is a bit more of a creative journey. It's not that I don't put the same time or heart into something that's on television but I don't think right now I'm ready for another 22 episode season of a show…but you watch, tomorrow, I'll be all "Yeah, I'm in!" I need to do something else when I finish this, something that's as cool as this.
If I may ask, what were you working on before you came to this?
Fichtner: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Cleaning out the garage, built and office, visited Costco, that's what I've been doing. I worked on something in the fall called The Big Bang, Tony Krantz directed this film with Antonio Banderas and Sam Elliott, sort of a film noir.
Going back to this role, is this a very physical role for you? We noticed you have a little scar.
Fichtner: Yeah, see that little purple stitch there? Is that cool or what?
Seems like your character is a tough guy.
Fichtner: Absolutely. That's a 3D moment; wait until you see how that happens! I was aware of the 3D-ness of that one. Is it really physical? I think the Accountant has an ease and a grace that..well, he doesn't want to get dirty. It's not even about getting dirty, it's not necessary.
You do get to dispatch a few people though..
Fichtner: It happens! Gracefully, hopefully.
Is he arrogant? Does he think he's above them?
Fichtner: Maybe he is. I think I have to leave it on that..
How are you enjoying spending time in Shreveport?
Fichtner: I grew up in Buffalo, NY- Shreveport is Buffalo with a muddy river. Same restaurants, same folks. I wanted to be a pretty trim guy for the suit but I wanted to be a little thinner, 4 pounds or something like that and I can't do that at home because my wife is Lebanese and Albanian and can cook the daylights out of anything so I came here a week early, got an extra fridge in my room. I have at all times non-fat cottage cheese, 2 pounds of turkey, lettuce, and non-fat vinaigrette dressing..I haven't really explored the restaurant scene here, although people have found some really good restaurants here. I've been eating pretty trim, I'm in a habitat- I go from the Hilton to the rental car to the downtown Y, I swim my mile, do the rest of what I do, I go back, I go to work. If I have 4 days off I plan to go home. I've been home a lot. After that first Saturday night when we got here I spent the next six weekends at home, which is great. And then the last two weekends, I've been here, so I've been getting out a little bit more. The people are really nice, and our crew, everybody's great.
There are a lot of badass vehicles in this movie, do you get to commandeer any of them?
Fichtner: Not the ones that I would like! That 69 Charger and the 70 Chevelle, the 454 Chevelle, I hop in a car and I hop in a truck.
I sense a bit of disappointment that you didn't get to drive any of these things.
Fichtner: It's okay, it's alright..why you gotta bring that up, man? I'm just getting over it and I've adjusted..no, there's some really cool stuff with cars. I get to ride other fun vehicles like hydrogen trucks. Very cool.
Todd Farmer interrupts: Are you still talking about cars? Are you not talking about the movie at all?
It's the first time he's mentioned the cars, honest!
Fichtner: That's true! That was the only question!
What's Todd like? (Todd groans)
Fichtner: Todd is writing something else for me so you can't ask me that question. Todd is my brother, buddy!
We've heard that this is inspired by old 70s car chase action movies. Are you a fan of those types of movies?
Fichtner: Yeah, the seventies were my high school and college years. I had a 69 Road Runner when I was a kid. I had it for 13 days, came home one day and my parents were in the driveway. They said, "meet the new owner" because they'd gotten phone calls about me burning rubber for the last 12 days. They thought I'd wrap it around a tree, and it was too much car for a 16 year old. I always swore if I ever got another one..in 95 when I was working on Albino Alligator, my agent called me up and told me he'd 'found my car'. I told him I wasn't looking for a car and he said "no, no, no, you're looking for this car." He took me to where the car was and opened the garage door, and I was like "What am I going to do with that?" I wanted to get a car so I didn't have to rent cars when I came in from New York! It's beautiful, a 1970 Vitamin orange Road Runner with 36,000 original miles, black bucket seats with a pistol grip.. just killer. Today's cars might be faster but they don't look like that, and they don't sound like that. Now it sits in my garage. When I read this script I was like, "I know cars!"
How old are your kids?
Fichtner: Two little ones, 18 and 8.
Are you worried that they'll pull a Ferris Bueller?
Fichtner: No, but I did say to my older son once when we moved into our house.."Do you like the house? Someday it'll be yours." He said "Give it to Van..I'll take the car." He's a bright kid. Good to meet you all, thank you guys!

"Is it true?" Geng Di thought, perhaps the two Mythological Beasts on her side might be very powerful. But there were hundreds of higher demons in The Rising Sun City; coupled with the middle and lower demons, it was not possible for them to completely yield to two Mythological Beasts.
For so many years, no matter how many strong figures and Mythological Beasts the Radiance Continent had mobilized, there was never a situation where demons had surrendered.
Their yielding meant death. Demons and humans could not coexist.
"Yes." Qu Rui nodded. He did not dare to act up in front of Geng Di. In fact, at that time, he had been captivated by Shen Yanxiao's beauty and had not paid much attention to other things. Afterward, he was directly scared by the two Phoenixes. Where would he get the time to pay any attention to Shen Yanxiao's abnormalities?
Geng Di squinted his eyes and said nothing more.
However, his heart had already been affected by this news. He originally intended to proceed with their plan again after a while. However, if they left her be, ghost knew when The Rising Sun City would be rebuilt with the current speed of the situation on Shen Yanxiao's side.
Most of the representatives of the Long Xuan Empire were defeated while trying to clear the demons. Few people could make it to this stage.
Shen Yanxiao and these representatives were obviously different.
If The Rising Sun City had been completely rebuilt, then in the future, the three other forces could just forget about the resources of the eastern region.
Now, his current plan could only be started before that nestling could learn how to leave its nest!
A trace of viciousness flashed past Geng Di's eyes. He immediately summoned his own henchmen.
Qu Rui stood by the side and looked at Geng Di. His heart became very excited.
Geng Di finally planned to strike. That damn little slut would soon suffer a heavy blow!
"City Lord, do you want to contact the other cities?" Qu Rui was looking forward to seeing Shen Yanxiao die without a burial ground. He had always been pampered so when he was hurt and his bare ear had been touched, he really hated it, gnashing his teeth in anger.
Geng Di said, "Not at the moment. I believed they should have received the same news as me. Even if I do not contact them, they already know what to do. The eastern region of the Barren Land is no longer for the Long Xuan Empire."
"Okay." Qu Rui smiled.
Geng Di thought for a moment and said to his men below, "Go and arrange teams for those people responsible for mining ores in the eastern region. Also, send some of the Senior Professions to follow. They must rebuild the city, but they must also mine ore. I'm going to see if the two Mythological Beasts can deal with so many teams."
When Geng Di issued an order, the entire Magical Fantasy City was mobilized.
Shen Yanxiao, who was in The Rising Sun City, still did not know that while The Rising Sun had been gradually formed, she had become a thorn in the hearts of the other three forces.
The Rising Sun City.
Shen Yanxiao sat on the stone stairs while looking at the city walls that were about to be completed. Her heart was very excited. During this time, apart from checking the progress of the reconstruction, she would bring out the three plants on the square every day for a while.
The dark elements of the three plants were endless, and could satisfy the needs of these tens of thousands of demons. Plus, Xiu would use his power to stimulate the proliferation of dark elements. Everything was natural.
'The city walls of The Rising Sun City will be completed in two days' time.' Xiu's voice sounded. During this period of time, Xiu could see Shen Yanxiao's busy life every day. Every night when Shen Yanxiao was asleep, he would use his own strength to relieve her muscles. But this fact was unknown by Shen Yanxiao.And chat with us in or in .

I have banking inertia. I'm one of those over-loyal creatures of habit who leaves his money where it is, even when it's obvious I could be earning better elsewhere. Indeed, I've only ever entrusted my money to two financial institutions. And this time next year, thanks to a bunch of brand-hungry Spanish financiers, neither of them will exist any more.
My first building society was the Abbey National. I signed up with them in the 1970s, back in the days when they were represented by a married couple under a roof-shaped umbrella. I threw my savings at them, I opened additional accounts, and I even whacked through a five-figure mortgage when the time came. I stuck with the Abbey National when they transformed from a building society to a bank, even though I wasn't 100% convinced demutualisation was the right way to go. Even when the boss decided to drop the 'National' and just call the company 'abbey' (in bright neon lower case), I still hung around.
And now the bank's new owners are taking away the Abbey bit as well. By next Easter everything old will have been gobbled, swallowed and re-packaged under the Santander label. Abbey may have been owned by the Spanish for five years, but now they're taking over everything including the bank's public face. This'll help UK customers to "leverage" global opportunities, apparently. But it'll also help shareholders to close down lots of "unnecessary" branches, and to sack long-serving "colleagues", and to "consolidate" customer service. Ultimately it means even less choice on the high street. And it's a damned shame.
I rather like the idea that my current bank started out in a Baptist Church in Abbey Road, West Hampstead, in 1874 (erm, this church, here), and that the Abbey name has transferred all the way through to the present day. I trust the bank more as a result, even though its underlying operations are now identical to those of its Spanish overlords. I know a mere re-branding really ought not to disappoint me, but it does, it really does. Maybe this is the kick up the backside I need to finally take my business elsewhere.
As for my first bank, that was gobbled up two decades ago. I entrusted my first salary cheque to the National Girobank, and many's the financial transaction I sent off in a Freepost envelope to a mysterious postcode in deepest Bootle. But, like many a long-serving building society, somebody suddenly thought it would be a good idea to float the privatised bank on the stock exchange. Lots of lovely income from the Alliance and Leicester deal to start with, but then the takeover sharks circled and gobble gobble munch munch gone.
Both the Abbey National and National Girobank are now consumed within a faceless pan-continental bank. There are lots of other historic names absorbed in there too, all of whom started out with big ideas but none of whom could quite survive through a century and a half of turbulent financial opportunism. The future of all these institutions can now be spelt out in nine letters. Sad innit?

The Santa Rosa Plateau is one of my favorite places to hike. The Plateau has something for everyone regardless as to what your skill level is. You can find dog, horse, and bike friendly trails. You can make your hike as easy or as hard as you would like by choosing trails that fit your skill level or just your vibe for the day. The fee to hike here is decent at only four dollars an adult and three a kiddo.
I have been to the Plateau many times and have tried several different trails, but I will be sharing my favorite route today which starts at the Hidden Valley Trail Head. This trail head does not start at the visitor center; however, you can stop there first for your hand stamp as they do accept cards. Otherwise, you can pay cash at the trail head.
I take the Hidden Valley Road to the Los Santos Trail which takes you all the way to the Vernal Pool trail head.
I would consider today's hike to be moderate as these trails are not entirely flat. According to my watch, this trip was 5.14-miles. There are several bits of the trail that go uphill where I needed to remind myself to breathe. There are some downhill areas and the occasional scattering of rocks on the trail that you need to watch out for. If the season is right you will be able to see many kinds of wild flowers and a couple of streams that I am happy to say were full today. There are several parts of this hike that made me feel like I was in the Shire; thumbs up to you if you are a Hobbit or LOTR fan and are picking up what I'm throwing down. Everything was so green and pretty. I was only slightly disappointed that there weren't patches of wild flowers or poppies like you see off the fifteen freeway in Lake Elsinore. Don't get me wrong; there are still a lot of flowers, just not the purple or orange patches I was expecting to see. I will admit that when I saw some scattered poppies I jumped with glee and grabbed for my camera.
After about 1.3 ish miles, the trail will curve left and you will need to turn right to stay on it. It goes up and over the hill, pictured in the top frame above. I had to remind myself to breathe when I got to the middle of this hill! That doesn't look steep you say? Pictures can be deceiving, my legs, feet, and lungs were yelling at me.
I have to say that one of the amazing things about the Plateau are the people that visit it. Everyone is so happy to be out there and so friendly when you meet them on the trails. My boyfriend and I bumped into a couple today at the Vernal Pools. We got to talking to them while we took a break and enjoyed watching the sparkling water dance in the breeze. They told us about one of the trails that is in a valley that was full of chocolate lilies. Chocolate lilies? I had never heard of such a thing, but then again, I am nowhere close to a Botanists so that didn't surprise me. Though we didn't take the trail they had mentioned, we saw some on the way back! Well, I thought I saw some, so I took pictures of them and went home and looked it up to be sure. I was right! Yay me! The Chocolate Lily is pictured below on the left. 🙂
After walking along the bridge at the Vernal Pools, I like to double back just a bit to take the Trans-Preserve Trail all the way back to my car. This trail crosses the Hidden Valley Road at one point, and gets a bit narrower on the other side, but it is still a great trail. You also get to walk near another steam and cross a few foot bridges by going back this way.
This hike took us about two hours and fifteen minutes, which is really pretty good since I stopped several times to take pictures, eat a Pop-tart, drink water, and breathe! I hope when you visit the Plateau you enjoy it as much as I do.

Here's a link to a great article on how Divorce affects Children called "How Divorce Scars Children." It's written by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.
Boteach grew up in a Divorced home so, unlike most experts on the effects of Divorce on Children, he can discuss the problems associated with the event honestly. His parents split when he was 8. From what my "research" on effects of divorce on different ages of children goes Age 8 is one of the most difficult for going through a Divorce as it represents a time span between 2 important astrological influences, one is associated with parenting and the other with marriage, among other things.
At Age 8, a child is coming out of his first attempts at maturation and self-development and is developing a sense that conditional love exists in the world. This is due to the Saturn influence. Generally this could show a time when he is beginning to become self-reliant and take on his own sense of authority in the world. When stressed by an event in the family where nobody is handling authority well problems can arise in his development as he will try to take the whole situation on and to fix everyone's problems. This can lead to an early but unhappy maturation in his character and a very heavy emotional burden that will eventually lead to lessons on how to control others and himself. The child will probably react to the divorce by becoming very serious or he/she will develop a cold-hearted attitude towards others. Sharing may become a source of great insecurity. Saturn rules Authority figures and the Father and Lessons related to Conditional Love. One can see how an event relating to those influences will perhaps permanently scar an child who is going through his first really stressful transit of that Planet later on. There can also be a great amount of guilt that forms as a result of a bad Saturn influence. For example, if the child doesn't receive a caring apology from the parents over the event then he could be hooked into an underlying anger problem later on.
On the other hand, at Age 8, the child is moving into a time of when personal values and one-on-one friendships will be very important. One's ego is combining with his sense of "The Other" due to a Sun-Venus influence so he is beginning to want to share with friends. Venus rules Marriage and the child will be getting a very painful first insight into how love and commitment (both Venus aspects) work out in people's lives (Sun). Since parents often begin to rely on their children for friendship during divorce there may be some unhealthy transfer of this influence back into the family atmosphere when it should be working out into the outside world. (A lot of recent movies seem to show this phenomenon lately, I've discussed a couple of them). During Venus transits one is more likely to be going through an extra intense phase of comparing ones self to others. A child from Divorce may have to go into denial about this through shame or just by having to defer to the greater needs of the parents.
Obviously a Divorce is going to provide a lot of negative difficult information through both the Saturn influence and the Venus influence. The natal chart will often show that these planets are strong in the chart as it is. In that case, a child needs extra support to be helped through those phases which be forfeited by the parents' needs. It's just too bad if the parents are not available to provide support for these phases because left ignored they tend to cycle back into the child's life later on as uncontrollable events. While his friends may see a little tiff on the playground with another child as the big influence at this age, the Child of Divorce will remember having to listen to hours and hours of complaining and fighting over money and parent's relationships. The child from the intact family goes home and has a very self-centered but helpful conversation with a parent. The child from the Divorced home, God only knows what happens when he opens the door so I won't even imagine.
The reason why I think these first transits are important to look at is because they are the first times that children experience their influences on a stressful level so they seem to form his development. When they match up to a exceptional life event they will become a very prominent influence in the individual's personality that might not manifest very easily later on. If an event is overly stressful this can lock a child into a negative cycle with this planetary influence which he/she will fall victim to later in life.

So interesting! I loved that article as well. I have never read anything correlating astrology with the effect of divorce on children. Thanks for a great read.

Stakeholder Group–The "Elderly"
A recent report by Goldman Sachs reported that economic growth in the BRIC countries will be impacted by the fact that young people will have to look more and more after older people. Estimates show that there will be a 46% increase in these countries of people over the ages of 65.
This information reminded me of reading the Commissioner's report on Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans where it was mentioned that one of the stakeholder groups Emergency Teams were not equipped and prepared to deal with was old people – most not in the medical system. Disaster staff reported dealing with bed ridden old and frail people.
Due to world-wide advances in health care, people will tend to live longer than the median age. More and More reports are showing that many people will not be able to retire and live off their pensions.
This raises interesting thoughts for Stakeholder Managers, for instance:
- How do we look after these people?
- How do we make use of their experiences and knowledge?
- What are their preferred needs and wants?
- Their preferred communication methods?
Viewing it from another angle it also raises interesting angles for Universities. Your alumni will get older and will need to be kept in the fold.
There is also this fallacy that all people want to retire and live happily ever after. In the early 80's I managed a Mentorship Scheme for the Small Business Development Corporation where we used retired executives to do small business management consultations and act as advisors to entrepreneurs (Similar to the US SCORE program). I recall working with a retired Swiss CEO called Werner Freund. He was as sharp as ever at 72 and I learned more from him in a year than I learnt in my studies.
These are the type of people who we need to embrace and use. They can be a useful resource if you think strategically about it.
I would also recommend that you visit the Department of Social Development's website for updated information such as this report deals with the rights of older people.
Crucial Questions to ask about Stakeholder Management
An organization derives its reputation from its stakeholders. Therefore the perceptions that is created through the things stakeholders see, read, hear about or experience first-hand.
This implies that there exist a web of relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders that needs to be monitored and managed.
But what is a stakeholder? The word stakeholder means anyone that has a legal, moral or economic stake in an activity. Some stakeholders have more clout than others, but that is also changing.
For example – Ghandi was an activist. Today with the right tools, any one person can become an activist or a journalist, hence the rising of the citizen reporter phenomenon. I can have a block of shares in a company, worry about ROI irrespective of the number of people who are retrenched. Alternatively I can be a member of the media. I will have an interest in what your organization does…because the public has a right to know.
The term 'stakeholder management' refers to the development and implementation of organisational policies and practices that take into account the goals and concerns of all relevant stakeholders.
The term Stakeholder Management also involves the dialogue, relationship building and process generation that take place between an organisation and its various stakeholders. Each of these stakeholders can affect an organisation's reputation positively or negatively and necessitate different strategies to leverage the situation.
In the King 3 Code of Corporate Governance specific mention is made of the importance of stakeholder inclusivity (,i.e. that the legitimate interests and expectations of stakeholders are considered when deciding in the best interests of the company), stakeholder identification and determination of expectations and needs, the proactive management of stakeholder relationships, and that management should develop a strategy and formulate policies for the management of relationships with each stakeholder grouping.
The King Code also makes mention that the Code is on an 'apply or explain' basis and that the board of directors, in its collective decision-making, could conclude that to follow a recommendation would not, in the particular circumstances, be in the best interests of the company. ''The board could decide to apply the recommendation differently or apply another practice and still achieve the objective of the overarching corporate governance principles of fairness, accountability, responsibility and transparency. Explaining how the principles and recommendations were applied, or if not applied, the reasons, results in compliance. In reality, the ultimate compliance officer is not the company's compliance officer or a bureaucrat ensuring compliance with statutory provisions, but the stakeholders"
In particular, the one danger that everyone is missing is Section 8.1 of the King Code 3 i.e. The Governing of Stakeholders states that the Board should appreciate that stakeholders' perceptions affect a company's reputation.
How can managers do this if they do not fully understand stakeholder management and its impact on governance and reputation?
Here is a quick test for you. Can your management team answer the following strategic questions:
- Who are our stakeholders?
- What are our stakeholders' stakes?
- What opportunities and challenges do stakeholders present?
- What economic, legal, ethical, and social responsibilities does our organisation have towards our various stakeholders?
- What strategies or actions should we take to best manage stakeholder challenges and opportunities?
- Do you have a system for managing relationships with stakeholders?
- How do you measure results? What metrics do you use to assess and gauge stakeholder relationships?
- In a crisis how quickly can you communicate with your relevant stakeholders?
- Do you know the various methods to engage with stakeholders and when not to use it?
- Can you state how much you are spending on each stakeholder group and what your ROI is?
- Have you developed a set of rules and practices on how best to manage the process of building stakeholder reputation with each stakeholder group?
Once you have answered the above questions, then you should attempt these:
– What strategies or actions should our firm take to best manage stakeholder challenges and opportunities?
– Should we deal directly or indirectly with stakeholders?
– Should we take the offense or the defence in dealing with stakeholders?
– Should we accommodate, negotiate, manipulate or resist stakeholder overtures?
– Should we employ a combination of the above strategies or pursue a singular course of action?
All of these are vital strategic questions to ask for any project, incident or issue. Reputation Risk emerges when the reasonable expectations of stakeholders are not met.
What is reasonable? Let me use an example. The recent amount of product recalls and scandals examples illustrates this very clearly. As a consumer safety is a basic right. I therefore would expect an organization to communicate with me, and warn me of the advantages and drawbacks of a product including tips on how to use it. (I wrote a short article on this in of my Powerlines newsletters )
But do companies do this? Only those who are enlightened do so, and not all are. It is only when a body like the FDA or the Consumer Protection Act forces some companies to comply, that they will come to the party.
Take a look at the Supersize Me saga, where through a class action law suit, McDonalds were forced to start to use more ethical labelling and change their menus. Why did it happen in the first place?
They were out of touch with current thinking. It is the same with collaboration methods. There are companies who try and stop staff from accessing Facebook, write blogs and use other forms of social media, thinking they can control messages. Yet, we deal with people in companies. Real, live people – not spokespeople, not Corporate Heads, but normal day to day people.
People want to connect with other real people.
How ready is your organization to engage with its stakeholders? Is there an integrated or a fragmented approach to managing stakeholders in the organization? Would you like to learn more about this interesting and holistic field of management?

Learn How to Think like an Activist
Many managers cringe when they hear the word activist. Because, activists as a stakeholder group can potentially damage an organisation's reputation if relationships with them are not carefully built, understood and maintained.
I have always been intrigued how in movies, psychologists trying to track a serial murderer, try and become that person. They study that person's motives, habits, appearance, background, etc. So, One of the best ways is to learn to be an activist yourself. By learning to become an activist, you will prepare yourself to handle potential reputational crises and campaigns against your organisation.
The Graduate School of Business at the University of Cape Town call this the immersion principle. Immerse yourself until you fully understand all there is to be an activist.
Trouble is that these days, activists are no longer a plural word. A single person today has tools at their disposal to start a one person crusade. Technologies such as Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and other social networks have increased the potential power of an individual, and companies should prepare themselves for online campaigns and other means of mobilisation.
Here then is a link to a free online course called The Virtual Activist – http://www.netaction.org/training/v-training.html – The course needs updating, but if you are a Twitter user, Facebook or MySpace follower, then you will learn a lot from this course.
The Virtual Activist illustrate why the communications efforts of social activists, including nongovernmental organizations, are so successful. Activists provide their supporters with both information and strategic and tactical tools. The combination of information and tools empowers people to take action, including communications or PR activities.
To further equip yourself, I can recommend the following site which should bring you up to speed: http://mashable.com/category/how-to-web/ with the latest Social Media tools and approaches.
Cut out Today's Page 20 from the Business Report (Star Newspaper)
The Media is a powerful Stakeholder Group and for me one of the best ways that I have seen the Media re-emphasise this; is through the full page spread that appeared in today's Star Newspaper – Business Report Section Page 20.
The Headline caption reads: ''For the news, turn to the news leaders''
Just read the following: Independent Newspapers remains the leading newspaper publisher in South Africa, dominating the country's four major metropolitan areas. The group has a nett weekly readership of 6, 768 million adults. The page then goes further to show the photos and details of their award winning journalists.
This is a good page to cut out and put in your Media Relations file and database.
Looking at the stats above, do you need any further encouragement to start a dedicated media relations function in your organisation?

The Council of Europe's Human Rights Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg said Thursday that Slovenia had a good human rights record, but two issues remain: the status of citizens of former Yugoslavia erased from the permanent residency registry in 1992, and living conditions of the Roma.
In a statement for the press at the end of a two-day visit to Slovenia, Hammarberg expressed the belief that the situation of the Roma in the country was improving, especially in the north-east, where there has been progress in relations with the majority population.
However, problems remain in several settlements in the south-east, according to him.
Touching on the erased, Hammarberg pointed out that many had not had their rights reinstated, despite rulings by the Slovenian Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. He added that another ruling was expected in Strasbourg soon.
The fee the erased need to pay to initiate the procedure to have their status reinstated is very high. People who were wronged by being deleted from the registry should not have to pay fees to have their wrongs made right, he said.
He also commented on the provision demanding that those who left Slovenia and lived abroad for over five years must prove that they had tried to get back, saying that this was often very hard to do.
Hammarberg said that the low number of people who requested to have their status reinstated was proof that the system did not work. After 20 years it is time to settle the issue, he said.
Hammarberg's term will conclude at the end of the month. He was accompanied by his successor Nils Muiznieks in what was a tour of the region that included visits to Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
On Wednesday the pair were received by President Danilo Türk. They were joined by Human Rights Ombudsman Zdenka Čebašek Travnik and representatives of civil society.
On Thursday, they met Justice Minister Senko Pličanič, Foreign Minister Karl Erjavec and Interior Ministry State Secretary Robert Marolt, as minister Vinko Gorenak was delayed at a budget session.
During the meeting with the foreign minister Hammarberg said that Slovenia was an important and active member of the CoE and its level of respect for human rights could serve as model to other countries, according to a press release from the ministry.
Talks with Marolt focused on the erased, according to the Interior Ministry. The commissioner was interested in Slovenia's activity in terms of providing relevant information to the erased and the administrative fee.

On a recent trip to my local Volvo dealership to shoot a short 3DVIA Composer "in action" video clip, I explained my purpose for the visit to the technicians, and went to set up my equipment nearby. I then overheard them talking about their frustrations with their existing service instructions. How difficult it was to understand how to assemble a vehicle part for the first time – especially for a new model. It was also interesting to hear, how their productivity often suffers because the service instructions contain irrelevant information or hyperlinks to useless details. Most notably, many also expressed how they wanted to be able to access information from anywhere on the shop floor or, even better, from inside or even underneath a vehicle.
While I carried on setting up my camera ...Read More

Happy first day of summer, here in the northern hemisphere! Down under, the Australian Navy has embarked on a project called REFINE (Realtime Engineering Fleet training Interactive Naval Environment), with help from our partner Invenio.
From this article on PACE news:
Invenio's REFINE solution specifically addresses naval training requirements by immersing naval cadets in a virtual representation of the ship on which they will serve.
Real-life scenarios that can be replicated include operating navigating equipment, fighting a fire, launching the ship's boat, responding to damage control or a call to action stations.

"Un Techo Para Mi Pais," (UTPMP), recognized by the United Nations as one of the non-governmental organizations best suited for public-private partnerships, gives disadvantaged families a new start by offering the security found in a new home, along with the social, educational and micro-financing services needed to create a responsive community or "barrio" where they can thrive.
But like many volunteer organizations, UTPMP faces the challenge of how best to train new volunteers while capturing the lessons learned by others leaving the organization. To do this, UTPMP is creating a real-time and online 3D community for sharing and retaining organizational knowledge.

Happy New Year everyone!
Take a look at this article about Creation, a UK-based company that is making great use of 3DVIA Composer to bring real-time on-demand service instructions to in-service vehicles. (That's my attempt for the New Year to link as many hyphenated words together in once sentence as possible!)
As mentioned in the article:
3DVIA Composer coupled with on-board vehicle breakage detectors provide condition reports and repair instructions that are also transmitted to base. 3D animated repair options are presented to the crew providing them the information they need to make better decisions in the event of breakage. This application of 3DVIA Composer is based on the same technical publications data that accompanies the vehicle into service to provide Z fleet operators with lower through life costs resulting from this advanced source of information.
It is...Read More

Taira Promote, a customer in Japan, is making great use of 3DVIA products to liberate 3D data out of engineering and into the hands of technical publications and training manuals. They are using 3DVIA Virtools and 3DVIA Composer to develop and launch their "i-manuals". These are in-depth , interactive, and on-line technical manuals to communicate and simulate highly complicated concepts.

By simplifying the 3DVIA Player interface and creating buttons to access only the most desired functionality, a custom and fully interactive application can be created: one that is designed for a specific set of users with a specific set of functionality.
And the best part is that everything you see in this podcast is 100% free as part of the 3DVIA Composer system!Read More
Back in podcast episode #44, you saw how easy it was to create complicated motion paths using the simple technique of combining assembly movements with part movements.
Yesterday I was browsing the 3dmojo forum, and I found a very good question posted by 3DComposter (clever and humorous username, by the way!). I thought the answer to this question would make a perfect podcast episode — how you can create a complicated motion path using very simple techniques.
Enjoy this podcast episode, and please feel free to continue posting questions to the forum. And if you have created any of your own interesting animation techniques, please feel free to share them with us by posting them directly into our forum under the "Share It" thread.Read More
Newsflash: 3DVIA Composer has been added to the breakout session grid at COE!
Chris Williams, the General Manager of 3DVIA Enterprise, will host an in-depth session titled Revolutionizing Design Communication: Creating Product Information with 3DVIA Composer. This presentation and discussion will begin on Tuesday, April 29 at 4:30 pm, as part of the "COE Briefing Center #1†track, in the Australia 3 room. This news is so late-breaking that the COE website has not yet been updated with this information.
I was reading, and frankly, not completely understanding, this very interesting story in the MIT Technology Review about the creation of 3D particles in a new chemical process and it got me to thinking about the "end state" of ubiquitous 3D.
I wondered what the cultural and business meaning is of particles with "precisely structured internal parts", a sort of 3D chemistry that expands 3DVIA Composer's "product information everyware" vision in ways we've never thought about before.
What if the vision isn't just about 3D for everyone, but becomes instead 3D chemistry in everyone?Â
When microfluidics can efficiently make "particles with exquisite internal structure" don't we have a classic assembly? Would there be a product tree for these particles?
It's fun to speculate about what a ...Read More
It's been a very fulfilling and exciting 24 hours for everyone in Seemage since our acquisition by Dassault was announced.
First, I want to give a shout-out and thank-you to some of the more authentic bloggers in the community, people like Robin Capper (post here), Chris Kelley (here) and Josh Mings (here), for noting our big news and for encouraging us to continue the blog. We will.
We wouldn't be true-to-form, however, if we didn't have a response to the "traditional" CAD press, as expressed in their blog posts on the acquisition (Ralph Grabowski's comment here and Randall Newton's here).
Trust me, we don't give a whit for Autodesk's "tags" (whatever that's supposed to be)...Read More

Last week, I watched a replay of Right Hemisphere's recent webinar and then, for comparison, I watched the replay of our most recent webinar.
You couldn't find a more different approach in the way the companies choose to present themselves and their technology. Our competitor chose to present an hour of discussion on the future of PLM. We chose to present our product in a live demonstration, using real customer data, in what we believe is a real-life example of typical problems people face creating rich product documentation.
I am astonished that in the 56 minutes of Right Hemisphere's webinar they showed no product demo at all. By contrast, we begin to demonstrate Seemage as quickly as possible...Read More
Many of you may remember the rock band called Talking Heads. And you may also remember their famous movie, Stop Making Sense, in which lead singer David Bryne appears onstage in an ill-fitting "big suit."
Both the title of the film and the fit of the clothes pretty aptly describe what we think of Parametric Technology's announcement of a "comprehensive, out-of-the-box solution for creating, publishing and delivering technical service manuals."
We wonder why you need four separate applications – none of which are widely-deployed standards – to author content. Will tech writers prefer Microsoft® Word® or Arbortext® Editortm? How eager do you think users are to learn a new text editing tool? PTC's press release says, "The success of any new solution hinges on an organizationâ€...Read More
We're back from a long holiday weekend here in the US, and I wanted to pick up the discussion thread started last week when we posted our assertion that the file translation problem has been solved.
Articulating that fact resulted in this comment from Deelip Menezes:
In the response to Scott Shepard, Alex says, "the manic focus on converting things obscures the need to do something with the info". I could not agree more. I have a small question though. How the hell are you going to do something worthwhile with the info if you do not have the correct info to begin with?
With apologies to Deelip, I don't want to get pulled into the sub-topic of file-format conversion accuracy, because that is, ahem, a religious war without solution.
Suffice it to say that I am happy to use a digital came...Read More
This week's Seemage podcast episode is presented by Franck Soulier who demonstrates Seemage Path Planning. First, Franck shows how Seemage can solve an abstract problem very easily: the path a ball must take to get out of a maze. That alone would make this a gripping video to watch. But then Franck goes further to show us a real-life application: how to remove parts in a maintenance situation.
Don't you wish the engineer who put spark plug #8 under the air intake in your car had used Seemage path planning? I certainly do.
Thanks so much to Franck for the great video, and as always, we welcome your comments on this podcast and our blog in general.Read More
We are very pleased to post here an unabridged version of the article Gordon Benson of NACCO Materials wrote for Machine Design magazine.
As you read Gordon's paper, we hope you will agree that the issues and challenges Gordon describes are universal no matter what CAD and/or PLM system your company uses, and that his approach to solving those problems in his company is applicable to your company as well.
Gordon places special emphasis on the ROI of better product documentation, something we believe is more and more evident inside manufacturing companies today. It's the kind of thing you might expect software vendors to talk about. But it's so much more authentic reading Gordon's perspective than simply hearing it from us.
We want to thank Gordon for allowing us to post the original...Read More
Here at Seemage, we marvel at the amount of time and energy people spend thinking about file format conversions. In a nutshell, we believe this is a solved problem…that people who want or need to convert file formats can and do, easily and accurately.
We think the real issue isn't about conversion…it's about content creation. Customers tell us they need technology to allow departments outside engineering and design to create useful, accurate product deliverables. Our customers' real challenge is to make it possible for end-users to achieve this in a compatible, secure way. (Naturally, we think Seemage matches this customer need perfectly.)
So, it never ceases to amaze me when I read a review of a product whose entire purpose…its complete market aspiration…its raison d'être is ...Read More

Title: Puzzle Me This
Author: Eli Easton
Buy link: Amazon.com (Second Edition)
Genre: Contemporary m/m
Length: Novella (88 pdf pages)
Rating: 3.75 out of 5 Rating Stars
A Guest Review by Feliz
Summary Review: A not too demanding, all-around pleasant geek-meets-geek, only that one of the main characters happens to be wheelchair-bound.
The Blurb: Luke Schumaker designs computer games, working from his home. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that someone who is completely smitten is watching. The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Alex's options are limited: he's too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won't let him follow into the woods. His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper. When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex's interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes. And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real?
The Review:
Luke and Alex have a lot in common: they're both good-looking, brainy gay men in their thirties, they like fantasy adventures, dogs, hiking, flannel clothes, and they both like puzzles. So it's no wonder that they click once they get to know each other. That one of them sits in a wheelchair? Barely relevant.
That's about the sum of this novella, and also its positive message. Alex' wheelchair is a fact, but not much of an obstacle. At least in the beginning, during the first rush of getting to know each other, exploring mutual sexual attraction and growing to like each other. I liked that part of the story a lot; it was beautiful to watch how Luke saw only Alex, the person, instead of Alex, the guy in a wheelchair–and how Alex refused to let himself be defined by being in a wheelchair. They were just two ordinary guys gradually falling in love with each other.
However, once the first euphoria had passed and the realities of life started becoming relevant again, this was when Alex' disability started coming to the fore. Like in any other relationship, there were doubts, misgivings and miscommunications between Luke and Alex, and understandably, mostly centered around Alex' disability. And this was where the story lost part of its appeal for me, because for one thing, the wheelchair becoming an issue came somewhat suddenly, and for another thing, the solution appeared rushed and rather starry-eyed to me. Both Alex and Luke had very reasonable concerns about their relationship; it didn't feel as if those problems were really resolved in the end.
All in all, rose-tinted glasses aside, this was a nice and uplifting story, low on angst and pleasantly written. If you're in the mood for an easy, positive read, you should try this.

A disheartening loss for Maryland as they traveled to Durham only to suffer a 21-point beatdown at the hands of the Blue Devils. After much anticipation and build up for this game, it was truly a shame that Maryland did not even show up to play. With the loss, Maryland goes from second to fourth in the ACC, with a record of 16-7 (6-3), while Duke has cemented itself as the number one team in the conference.
Maryland had a lead at one point, 6-5, but then Duke went on a 15-0 run to go up by 14, and eventually led by 16 at half time. Greivis Vasquez only had two points, and the Terps were 0-7 from three. In the second half, Maryland had a little spurt, cutting the lead to 54-44 with 9:28 remaining, but could not complete a full comeback. Vasquez scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half, but Maryland ended the game with 2-13 shooting from three and had 14 turnovers.
What truly makes this loss disappointing is the fact that Maryland did not give its best effort. Normally a strong three point shooting team, Maryland was missing open looks from behind the arc. Also the fact that the Maryland bigs allowed Brian Zoubek to have a career game (16 pts, 17 rebs) is just flat out embarrassing. He was a little bit taller than the Maryland big men, but nowhere near as athletic. At the end of the day it came down to who hustled and wanted it more, and Zoubek and Duke did so.
Now Maryland must rebound by playing 2 games in three days, starting with a home contest with UVA.

Crystal Palace have officially completed the signing of free agent goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri on a short-term contract until the end of the season. He will wear the number 16 shirt.
Palace were thought to have already secured a pre-contract agreement to sign Vicente Guaita from Getafe on a free transfer this summer, although new rumours of a potential 'get out clause' suggest that deal is not necessarily complete.
But the Eagles currently lack immediate goalkeeping cover as a result of Julian Speroni's injury, leaving 20-year-old Dion Henry as the only back-up to Wayne Hennessey.
"I am very happy to be here and have been training with the guys for some time now. The atmosphere in the dressing room has been really good and they have received me very well so we can talk a lot and get to know everyone. I am very happy with this opportunity," Cavalieri said.
The arrival of 35-year-old, who was released by Fluminense at the end of the Brazilian season in December, has previously worked with Palace manager Roy Hodgson, albeit briefly.
Having joined from Palmeiras in 2008, Cavalieri was at Liverpool when Hodgson was hired at Anfield in 2010. But having never made a Premier League appearance as a back-up to Pepe Reina, the Brazilian joined Cesena in Italy not long after the new manager had assumed control.
Cavalieri has played three times for Brazil at senior international level, earning his first cap in 2012 after his impressive form for Fluminense in their title winning season that year.
