Mazda3 Maintenance & Repair
bbrich58 Posts: 1Try shifting into a higher gear... say, third?
I own a 2004 5 Dr, hatchback 5-speed.
My wife and I recently made a trip from Texas to northeast Pennsylvania and got an average of 32.5 MPG, and that was loaded.
On the way back, we were dragging a 5'X 8' U-Haul trailer full of stuff, and not very aerodynamic I might add, and got 15.5 MPG overall.
On the average week I drive 33 miles a day to and from work, in Austin city traffic, and depending on whether or not the A/C is running I can easily get between (and no less than) 25-30 MPG.
What are you doing to this poor car????
ivan_99 Posts: 1,678In summer I had my AC on all the time and had no where near 16mpg.
My feeling is that there is something wrong, be it mechanical or electronic/computer, with a Mazda3 if it is getting 16mpg.
Just for comparison, the 2007 Chevy Tahoe city mpg is rated at 15mpg – 5600lbs, 320hp V8.
Not sure what the solution would be other than going to the dealer.
moontom Posts: 28I've read the back posts on this, and I'm still in the dark: does anybody know for sure if Mazda changed/improved the AC system for the '06 3s? (has to be something more than the pollen filter, doesn't it?)
also the sluggish first-gear problems w/ cold engine (auto trans)?
thanks in advance for any/all insight....
I agree...no the defrost (thanks) I think the valves need to "seat" and until then....we had an incident where a car wash jockey spun the car out but the rev limiter we hope did it's job. took it to the dealer after that,...i do not know if they did a compression tests. they stated the rev limiter is absolute protection.....appreciate the posts.
Dealer's Service Department did further research on my throttle issue. Now says that Mazda knew they had a throttle problem on thousands of 2006 Mazda 3s. The throttle's were replaced as mine was when the cars reached port in the States. Something about not enough clearance to accomodate carbon build ups which resulted in the throttle sticking open at a certain RPM level. However, the throttle replacement did not solve the trick and now Mazda has a new fix with a further refined throttle replacement. I'm waiting for the part to arrive and hope it solves the trick. Thanks for the suggestions.
mdaffron Posts: 4,421Something about not enough clearance to accomodate carbon build ups which resulted in the throttle sticking open at a certain RPM level.
... But I thought carbon build-up was something that happened after thousands and thousands of miles, using poor gasoline? Surely carbon can't build up in a throttle body enough to cause problems on a car's first tank of gas?
I don't think anyone can answer your question - because no one knows the answer except Mazda.
But Mazda will not even admit that there is a defect in SOME of the 2004 & 2005 models - I do not see them making some kind of anouncement - LOOK WE FIXED THE AC SO NOW IT COOLS THE CAR!!
There is no way to know until we get a large number of 2006 Mazda3's on the road AND we also have some nice hot 90+ degree days. That is when the complaints will show up - if the problem has not been fixed.
Just be aware - since Mazda has decided to not fix any vehicles with the weak - defective AC systems if you do get a bad one then you are stuck. If a good AC is important I sure would not buy one until I could let it sit in the sun for an hour or so on a nice hot humid 90 degree day and test it out for myself.
Or I guess you could ask a sales person - I bet they will be happy to tell you something like - never heard of that problem - I am sure IF there was an issue it has been fixed - and if a problem ever does come up you have a 4 year 50K mile warranty.
Problem with throttle sticking open didn't develop on the first tank of gas, but around 1000 miles on the car and about 5 times since episodically after I reached that mileage mark. Will see if dealer's service department knows what they're talking about ( If I explained the problem and fix correctly on this forum thread) when the new "revamped " throttle is installed. Thanks, Meade, for your thoughts on the issue.
I welcome any thoughts on another issue with a 2004 Mazda 3s sedan I talked my mother into buying and am now on the hot seat over. We put 17" Bridgestone Potenza RE 750's on the car right after purchase and sold the OE Goodyears on eBay. The car vibrated at 55mph from the get go. The Mazda dealer has balanced the tires 4 times free of charge and rotated them once over the last year - she has only 6100 miles on the tires. 8/32 tread depth left. Still the vibration persists. Service manager says the wheels are fine - nothing bent. Finally, we put new tires on the car and had them Hunter road force mounted/balanced to ensure no tires were out of round as we suspected might be the case on the Bridgestones. None were. We went from an ultra high performance summer tire to a Grand touring All Season tire, the Continental ProContact purchased from the Tirerack. Can only conclude problem is with the car. Suspecting the brake rotors as Mazda 3s have had issues with them. Beyond that possibly suspension tightness, wheels bearings ? Any ideas out there ? Mother is about ready to buy a Jetta or Civic as her frustration mounts. Going to call Mazda Customer Assistance and open a case file on the car and see if that lights any fires. Maybe arbitration as dealer has had many opportunities to fix the problem and cannot correct the vibration.

A couple of weeks ago I test drove a top-of-the-line Mazda 5 with 205/50-17 tires by Toyo. When I commented to the Mazda salesperson that Mazda had switched tire mfg. from Goodyear to Toyo he tells me that the 17" Toyos are mfg. by Goodyear for Toyo.
Till date, I can't verify what he said; nor have I been able to find 205/50-17 tires from Toyo. At the time I didn't think about it, but thinking back I should have looked at the tread design of the Toyos to see if they looked anything like the Goodyears.
Does anyone have any insight as to the performance of these all-season tires? My test drive was brief and inconclusive.
Well first of all the car runs richer (and longer) during warm up in winter, and some engines never warm up properly during short trips; then the gasoline is often re-formulated for winter; and generally in bad weather people tend to drive in lower gears for traction.

for the local dealers customer service they do as little as they can get away with, I finally went up the cooperate ladder to Mazda USA in California to get reimbursed for the rental that got us home after my 3 blew it's engine at 3559 miles... The local slogan is "where nobody buys just one" one is more than enough for me!
audia8q Posts: 3,138A guy gets his car towed into our shop and he states that it started making a bad noise and he pulled over to potentially avoid any further damage...turns out he had just come from a well known quick oil change place...well our techs look at the car and the oil cartridge was cracked from improper installation and the car lost all oil and cooked the engine....of course mazda will not cover this under warranty since wasn't mazda fault and the quick oil change place won't cover it either. They sent a guy down who did alot of talking and excuse making but refused to accept responsibility... so now the poor guy is facing a $5700 bill for a new engine on his year old mazda3.
The point of the story is to be very careful who you let change the oil cartridge on your Mazda3s...it requires a special tool to get it just right and one little mistake and your walking...

Re-Animator Blu-ray Review
It's Dead! It's Alive! It's Dead! It's Alive! It's Dead AND It's Alive!
Reviewed by Michael Reuben, August 31, 2012
If Re-Animator were just an exceptionally gory film (which it is), it wouldn't have nearly the reputation it does. Director Stuart Gordon's debut feature shattered all conventions when it came to showing disgusting imagery, but there's been plenty more splatter where that came from, and very little has had Re-Animator's staying power. What accounts for this low-budget classic's longevity? Start with the source material. The H.P. Lovecraft stories on which the film is based may not have been the author's proudest moment (according to Gordon, Lovecraft wrote them for money and was ashamed of them), but they were well-crafted and provided a firm narrative backbone for the film, even as Gordon and two co-writers made substantial changes. Anyone can spew buckets of entrails and stage blood on screen, but audiences won't be scared unless it's part of a well-told story. And even though Gordon had never directed a film before, he'd been telling stories for years as the director of the Organic Theater Company in his native Chicago, a background that would serve him well. Among other things, it led him to cast actors with stage experience like Jeffrey Combs and David Gale, whose theatrically exaggerated performance style perfectly suited Re-Animator's over-the-top material. (Smart directors of horror, sci-fi and fantasy cinema often recruit stage-trained actors who know how to play "big"; it's why Peter Jackson cast so many in The Lord of the Rings.) As a good theater director, Gordon insisted on rehearsing his cast for several weeks before production began, an almost unheard-of luxury in modern filmmaking. By the time the company arrived on their dilapidated set, everyone knew what story they were telling. They were ready to make the gore count for something. As Gordon says in his commentary, actors are "the best special effect there is". Finally, there's the film's comedy, which was put there deliberately. Composer Richard Band was so taken with the film's comic elements that he deliberately parodied Bernard Hermann's famous theme from Psycho, on the theory that no one could possibly miss the joke. (Naturally, some people did.) As actress Barbara Crampton says in the accompanying documentary, parts of Re-Animator are gross (stomach-churningly so), but parts are very funny. What Crampton doesn't say, though I suspect she'd agree, is that they're often the same parts.
As star Jeffrey Combs says in the documentary Re-Animator Resurrectus, the film packs a lot of story into its 86-minute running time. The (you'll forgive the term) animating force of the narrative is a bright green potion invented by a modern day Dr. Frankenstein named Herbert West (Combs) that miraculously re-animates dead tissue. West wants to conquer death, but as is always the case with mad scientists, things never go according to plan. After a brief prologue set in Switzerland, where West's mentor, Dr. Gruber (Al Berry), perishes spectacularly, the action shifts to Miskatonic Medical School in Arkham, Massachusetts, where the rest of the film plays out. Re-Animator can best be described as an overlapping series of dramatic triangles, in each of which something's got to give. The most obvious and ordinary triangle is that involving promising med student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott) and Megan Halsey (Crampton), daughter of Miskatonic's dean (Robert Sampson). With Cain, Megan is a mature and sexual woman, but with her puritanical father, who is a widower, she still plays the dutiful daughter who cooks and keeps his house. In front of the Dean, Megan and Cain comport themselves like teenagers. Not until Cain graduates to become a full-fledged doctor can they openly declare themselves an adult couple. A second and more sordid triangle lurks beneath the surface, such that Megan and Cain are barely aware of it. Dr. Carl Hill (David Gale, in a bad wig necessitated by the makeup effects, but perfectly symbolizing his false exterior) is the dean's close friend, Cain's professor of neuroanatomy and one of Miskatonic's most effective grant generators. He's also obsessed with Megan to the point of being a stalker, and he's not above insinuating to his friend Dean Halsey that the young med student in his class isn't good enough for the dean's daughter. The arrival of mad Herbert West as a transfer student creates additional triangulations, as West sublets a room from Cain and resumes his experiments in the basement, starting with Cain's cat. When Cain discovers West's work, he's repulsed but also fascinated, because he's an idealist who can't bear losing a patient and can't resist West's siren song of eternal life through re-animation. Megan senses that she's losing her lover to West, and an epic battle for Cain's soul arcs through the rest of the film, remaining unresolved until the very last shot. By then, the experiments have moved to the med school's morgue, and a lot more than a cat has been re-animated. As Gordon likes to point out, Re-Animator successfully switches villains in midstream. Initially it's West with his crazed effort to bring back the dead. But when Dr. Hill steals West's work, he becomes a much more dangerous monster. You could say that Dr. Hill loses his head over the prospect of taking credit for a discovery that could win him the Nobel Prize. (Then again, as West taunts him: "Get a job in a sideshow!") As cheesy as some of the practical make-up effects may seem, they are actually more effective than a CGI equivalent. There's substance to a live person covered in latex, gel and stage blood that a digital creation just can't match. You can feel it in the reactions of the other actors on the set. The infamous scene in which Megan is strapped to a table, stripped naked and sexually assaulted by a re-animated body part simply wouldn't be the same if Barbara Crampton had been shot against a blue screen and the attacker added after the fact.
Re-Animator Blu-ray, Video Quality
The source material for Image Entertainment's 1080p, VC-1-encoded Blu-ray is in remarkably good condition, considering the age and low budget of the production. Except for occasional, minor speckling and a few random print blotches, the material is clean. (I know this sentiment isn't universally shared, but I actually enjoy the occasional print flaw; it's how I've seen film for most of my life.) The overall image is soft, which has led some internet posters to claim that the Blu-ray is a DVD "upconvert". It isn't, and any claim to the contrary bespeaks an over-reliance on screenshots. There's too much detail in faces, hair, clothing, sets and make-up for the Blu-ray to be an upconvert from a 480p image, and it's the kind of detail that isn't necessarily obvious from a still frame. (People too often forget that Blu-ray is a lossy video format and "persistence of vision" plays its part in video compression.) This isn't to say that a new scan at some future date might not reveal additional layers from the negative of Re-Animator, because the technology for translating film to the digital realm is constantly improving. But the current Blu-ray is no slouch and offers a worthy presentation of this tricky material. Black levels are generally excellent, which is essential for the many scenes that use darkness strategically. Colors, notably blood red and the peculiar green of Herbert West's re-animating "agent", are vibrant and well-saturated; this quality is also noticeable in the famous title sequence designed by Robert Dawson (Ed Wood, Point Break, The Fifth Element and many others). The film's grain structure appears natural and unfiltered, and there is no evidence of artificial sharpening. To accommodate the film and extensive extras, Image uncharacteristically stretched for a BD-50. I do not have the Elite "Millennium Edition" for direct comparison, but I have looked at a few of the screen captures that show cropping on the Blu-ray as compared to that edition. The Elite DVD has black borders on all four sides, a practice that was sometimes adopted by DVD producers when CRT sets with major overscan were still the prevailing display device. Now that overscan is much less of an issue, I suspect that Blu-ray producers are more comfortable filling the disc's entire frame. In any case, the compositions on the Re-Animator Blu-ray did not look cramped or compromised.
Re-Animator Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The film's original mono track was remixed at some point for 5.1 and is presented here as DTS-HD MA 5.1. There's nothing particularly surround-worthy about the mix, but the format does give Richard Band's lively score room to breathe, and it sounds great. Dialogue is so clear that you can immediately detect almost every bit of looping, which only adds to the film's low-budget character.
Re-Animator Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Some of the extras for Re-Animator, notably the commentaries and the deleted/extended scenes, date back to the laserdisc released by Elite Entertainment in the mid-1990s. These were included by Elite on a DVD of Re-Animator released in 1999 and a two-disc "Millennium Edition" released in 2004. The Millennium Edition also included extensive interviews and an isolated music track, among other new extras. In 2007, Anchor Bay acquired the rights and released a two-disc special edition that preserved most of the extras previously prepared by Elite, plus an all new documentary. (I don't have the Anchor Bay set, but as far as I can tell, it did not include the isolated music track.) The Blu-ray from Image preserves most of the extras found on the Anchor Bay edition.. Omitted are: various still galleries (Production; Behind-the-Scenes; Fun on the Set; Posters and Advertising) and DVD-ROM features, including the screenplay and the text of H.P. Lovecraft's "Herbert West: Reanimator" series.
Re-Animator Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Producer Brian Yuzna likes to tell the story of attending his first screening of Re-Animator at the Paramount (as it was then known) in Los Angeles, where audience members were standing and yelling at the screen, and some of them leftand then came back. Over a quarter century later, Re-Animator still has a powerful impact, especially on first-time viewers, because Gordon and his collaborators had the courage of their convictions to pursue the story's dark themes to rigorously logical (if twisted) resolutions. Nothing was sugarcoated, and certainly nothing was held back. It's understandable that some fans are waiting for a later release. Independent horror films are prime candidates for multiple editions, because the fanbase is loyal. A U.K. release of Re-Animator is reportedly being prepared, and this Image disc certainly won't be the last version in Region A. But it's available now, it's well done, and it's a good deal. Recommended.

Qualities of the Effective Leader: How to Improve Your Management Skills for a Leadership Role
For you to break through the success barriers in your own life, you must aspire to maintain a successful leadership role and become an effective leader. You must develop your management skills and influence others to work with you to achieve your goals and objectives.
Becoming a leader, however, requires that you understand the leadership role and responsibility of being an effective leader. Individuals in a leadership role must strive to make better choices and decisions for the sake of others.
Leaders are largely self-made as the result of continuously working on themselves and improving their management skills over the years. No one starts off as an effective leader, but you can aspire to improve your management skills by learning what leaders do and then by copying them until you become one yourself. Here are some qualities of successful leaders you can focus on to strengthen your management skills.
Focus on Strengths
An effective leader focuses on strengths. They focus on the strengths in themselves and on the strengths in others. The fact of the matter is that strong people have far more weaknesses than they have strengths. You can never achieve greatness by compensating for your weaknesses. But you can become an outstanding and effective leader by identifying your areas of great potential strength and by then focusing all of your energies on becoming outstanding in those few areas.
Lead by Example
One of the most important qualities of an effective leader is to maintain a respected, leadership role model, to be the kind of person that everyone else looks up to and wants to be like. An important quality of an individual in a leadership role is that they carry themselves at all times, even when no one is watching, as if everyone was watching.
Leaders live in a goldfish bowl. Everyone is watching the individual in the leadership role. They are very aware of the impact of their words and gestures on the people around them. You must always be sensitive to the fact that everything you say or do is magnified times the people who report to you or look up to you for guidance.
Quality of Integrity
Perhaps the most important and respected quality of a person in a leadership role is the quality of integrity. It is the most required and most admired quality of all people, but especially of the effective leader with impressive management skills.
Trust is the quality that binds all relationships together. The willingness and ability to trust the people that you look up and report to is absolutely essential to your ability to perform at your very best. One of the most important things you do, if you want to be successful at work, is to choose your boss with care. I have seen very few occasions where a person has been successful under a negative or dishonest boss with poor management skills. In most cases, you are wasting your life and your career by staying in a situation with a negative person because the situation has no future.
Clear Vision
The effective leader always begins with the "needs" of the situation. The most common characteristic of leadership, throughout the ages, is that leaders have "vision." Leaders can see the big picture. The effective leader can project forward 3-5 years and imagine clearly where they want to take the organization and what it will look like when they get there.
Leaders have the ability to articulate this vision in such a way that everyone around them can see and understand where they are going. The individual who maintains a successful leadership role has the ability to articulate an exciting vision of a compelling future that everyone wants to be a part of.

L'Occupazione Cinese: Made in Prato, a documentary by Massimo Luconi, produced by D4 with Rai Cinema (in Italian with English subtitles) was screened on 29th October as part of the 6th Chinese in Prato & 4th Wenzhouese Diaspora Symposia held at the Monash Prato Centre on 29-30 October.
As part of the ongoing collaboration between Monash Translation and Interpreting Studies and the Monash Prato Centre, the English subtitles for the documentary were provided by Erika Padovan, Hannah Kirby and Nicola Ranson, all of whom are currently enrolled in the Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies.
Reflecting on the experience, this is what Erika said:
I am very grateful to the Monash Prato Centre and in particular to A/Prof Rita Wilson for giving me and two other translators-in-training the opportunity to participate in this exciting and highly creative subtitling project.
Under the supervision of Andreu Pedró i Garcia, a specialist in audiovisual translation, I learnt the theory and the practical art of subtitling – including condensing, segmenting, simplifying – and mastered the use of specialised software, such as Subtitle Workshop and Jubler. I have gained precious knowledge about the craft of subtitling that theory alone could not have given me.
Throughout the project, I liaised with the client in Italy on behalf of the team. This role gave me an understanding of what real-life translation project management is like. As a result, I feel confident about approaching new clients and managing future assignments in a professional way.
It was a great privilege to collaborate with the Monash Prato Centre. And what a great addition to my portfolio!
Hannah and Nicola added:
It has been fascinating to discover the challenges and difficulties that are specific to the medium of subtitling. We have had the pleasure of collaborating with an expert in the field of subtitling, Andreu Pedró i Garcia. He has guided us through the processes of subtitling including the many specific conventions of software.
We were in direct contact with the director Massimo Luconi so as to fully comprehend the content and message of the dialogue. Embarking on this project has not only been challenging but also rewarding.
This project has inspired thoughts on future careers and study paths. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Rita Wilson and the staff of Monash Prato Centre for guiding us through this project.

2003 Acura RSX Type S 2.0 4 cylinder from North America
Practical Luxury Sports Coupe
Nothing so far. Flawless reliability I expected from a Honda/Acura product.
General Comments:
Fantastic little sports coupe. Plenty of standard features that are options on more expensive cars.
Handling is superb, regardless of the FWD layout.
Simple clean good looks. No racy, spoilers, splitters, or exaggerated lines.
Effortless acceleration in any gear. VTEC is amazing... winding the car up in the lower gears is hard to resist.
Beautiful interior, excellent driving position, well bolstered sport seats.
Six speed transmission is a pleasure to use.
Hatchback design makes this/that more practical.
Aftermarket tuning options are endless.
A few negatives of course:
Stock tires need more grip.
Engine lacks needed torque.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 21st July, 2004

So rather than give their background, how about what 3:10 To Yuma is about.
The film stars Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol and Ben Foster, in a modern take on the classic Western short story by Elmore Leonard. The film was directed by James Mangold (WALK THE LINE) and produced by Cathy Konrad, from a screenplay by Halsted Welles, Michael Brandt & Derek Haas.
In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Bale), struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each others respect. But with Wades outfit on their trail and dangers at every turn the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.
A little while ago I posted a number of movie clips, so in case you missed them you can click here.
During the short press conference, the two of them talked about the challenges of filming in freezing conditions, location filming, and the special relationship between a man and his horse
As always, you can either read the transcript below or download the audio as an MP3 here. And since I wont be transcribing the other interviews I was able to participate in for the movie, heres the links to the audio for Peter Fonda and Ben Foster, writers Michael Brandt/Derek Haas and director James Mangold and producer Cathy Konrad.
3:10 to Yuma opens everywhere this Friday.
BALE: Morning all, I recognize a number of faces here (to Crowe) Ive had to do Rescue Dawn just recently.
CROWE: Right.
BALE: Im like a regular right now.
Q: Youve played American roles before, but were you surprised to be asked to be in a western?
BALE: Not for a second, no.
CROWE: No, it didnt surprise me. Id spent quite a bit of time with Jim Mangold about six years ago. I didnt realize that he was spending time with me I was recording an album in the studio at the time, and he was spending time with me because he was prepping Walk the Line. I didnt realize that at the time, but we became conversational friends. So when he sent me the script I read it and I enjoyed the dynamics between the two characters, so thats basically decision made, you know.
Q: Russell youre known as an actor who does a lot of research and preparation for period roles, whats the real story of the level of work you put into things like this?
CROWE: Well, I think we should decide not to talk about preparation just this once, because then it just all becomes about the preparation and not about the movie. The thing is, I was working on another movie right up til this, and then promoting another film in Europe, so I didnt really do that much preparation, but as you may know I have a working farm, so theres a lot of things on this movie thats just part of my day to day.
Q: Would it be okay to ask if there was anything from the other western you did, The Quick and the Dead, that also applied here?
CROWE: I had the good fortune of working with a guy called Thell Reed who was an armorer on Quick and the Dead in a period in my life where Id never actually touched a handgun, so he utilized that, put a lot of information in my head because he didnt have to get past things that my dad had taught me incorrectly, or my uncles had taught me badly, as he finds with a lot of American actors when he works with period guns. So it was just a matter of taking that same information and refreshing it in my mind and then changing the style of how this particular guy killed people.
Q: Can you guys talk about being in New Mexico and filming on location and also working together?
CROWE: Youve been silent for awhile Batman - Im going to do that all day you know.
BALE: I was kind of guessing that. New Mexico, I dont really now that I think about it I have no recollections of Santa Fe particularly, but the canyons, being out in the high desert, that was nice; being out, riding your horse, shooting your guns, thats a lot of fun.
CROWE: It was really cold.
BALE: It got to be bloody freezing, especially some of the night shoots; it got cold.
CROWE: Terrifyingly cold
BALE: We had the worst winter storm in recorded history came in.
CROWE: And we were surrounded by four and a half feet of snow doing scenes that talk about the drought. It was one of those sort of movie experiences.
BALE: And he (meaning Crowe) was just a real bastard to work with.
CROWE: And Peter Fonda started something that I think SAG should pick up on. One day he actually said that he couldnt act in period costume, on location, below 13 degrees.
BALE: Which is superb, Im having that put in my contracts.
CROWE: I reckon SAG should work on it, because I reckon theres - like you shouldnt do Shakespeare in a draughty hall in tights below, say, eight degrees, there should be a whole scale.
Q: Christian, you had just come from a very uncomfortable location for this when you were shooting Rescue Dawn, was that more uncomfortable than this one or was this one a little more challenging for you?
BALE: I kind of like movies where I just get to just be dirty and crawling in the mud, Rescue Dawn it was all very primordial stuff, and with this one it was all about wearing the same clothes day after day and getting sweaty and dirty and sun exposure, and its meant to be like that; westerns are meant to be dirty, they shouldnt be all nice and clean. And I like getting my hand dirty.
Q: Russell did you like the fact that the bad boy had a conscience?
CROWE: I didnt really read it that way. Hes just very efficient at surviving whatever situation that hes in. The end result is an example of that. Obviously that group of men that hes gathered together, theyre probably a little dangerous now, so lets just move on and clean the slate.
Q: Im from Equestrian News so I have to ask a horse question
(both actors nay and Crowe hits the desk with his hand like a horse would count with his hoof)
Continued on the next page ------------>
Q: How would you explain that special relationship between man and horses?
CROWE: Well Im an absolute horse lover. Its a very complex and long answer in its full sense, but Ive always found that even from the time youre a little kid theyre just like people, there are some horses that you have a deeper connection with immediately, and you can work on that over time. I found over the years the antithesis of some other peoples thought processes, the gentler that you are, and the most constant you are with the horse, the deeper that connection gets. And its funny doing these sort of movies, and Ive done a few with animals, because you get really actually close, because the working relationship is quite intense, 10, 12 hours a day for a number of months, so its hard to say goodbye.
Q: He was using the whistle, do you have something in your personal life that you use?
CROWE: Yeah, yeah. It would depend on what the situation was, mainly just a series of mouth clicks actually.
Q: What makes your character the way he is, suddenly killing his friends?
CROWE: As I was saying, he just responds in the situation to whats around him in order to survive. So hes just that kind of animal himself.
Q: What makes him like that?
CROWE: Well, theres a history thats talked about in the film, whether or not thats the complete version of his life story, thats a different thing. You can throw out a lot of assumed experiences that an abandoned child might have in the old west, and all of those things will add up to where he is. I think one of the important things because weve had no history of Wade being we dont know his future, we dont know if he gets captured and all that sort of stuff, so I was always taking the attitude that he was actually very successful at what he did, and this is probably the fourth or fifth version of his gang. And when they become too proficient, the gang members around him and the things that he taught them, thats probably the time to clean the slate and move on and go and get himself another gang. Theres a story in The Princess Bride when theyre talking about the dread pirate robbers changing hands and that would go through my mind in terms of how to explain him.
Q: Can you talk a little more about each other, had you met before and if not, what surprised you about each other?
BALE: No, wed never met before at all. Whenever people asked me what I was doing next, and I said I was going to be working with Russell, they kind of looked like (oh no), Youre going to be in for a tough ride with him. And its absolutely true. (Russell laughs) No, Russell was I dont mean to talk out of school, but a lot of actors, they sort of complain and winge and do everything to avoid actually getting on with the work, you know, so its nice when youre working with somebody like Russell where you can just get to the point and you can have blunt conversations about the scenes, and it just makes it easy. Hes obviously, you dont have to be told, hes a bloody good actor and its a pleasure to work with somebody as good as that.
CROWE: Right from the first time we did a reading I could see that he had a sense of humor and was very balanced about what the job is, and all that sort of stuff. Once youve worn the cape, it must be hard to keep your feet on the ground.
BALE: This aint going to go away all bloody day!
CROWE: And you can tell theres a lot of base jealousy coming from me about the fact that he gets to wear the cape.
BALE: I bought him his own special rubber outfit.
CROWE: Which I appreciate. I appreciate it greatly.
BALE: Youll be seeing him in the meat district in Manhattan.
CROWE: We found it really easy to get on and when youre dealing with I mean, some of the days, we talked about Peter pulling out (off?) at 13 degrees, but actually some of the days were -15 and stuff like that, so its really nice to have an easy rapport when youre trying to do complicated things in rough conditions.
BALE: Even though your jaw cant move because its too cold to talk.
CROWE: The thing is it was easy, and the thing I think I said to him on the last night when we were finishing up, I just said to him that hes all class, on a daily basis, always ready, got great questions, his choices with his weapons, the way he approached the horse riding, its all good. From my perspective, to know that the guy that youre working with has put the effort in, is switched on, is ready to go regardless of the conditions and the hours and all that sort of stuff, just makes you feel like youre in the right place.
BALE: We were both a number of drinks down the line by that time of course.
CROWE: Which is also a good thing; being able to simply finish a days work and have a regular conversation with a bloke over a beer without it being some big to do, breaking some sort of contemporary taboo or something, we dont do that in Los Angeles.
Q: Can you talk about working on Batman right now?
BALE: Russells going to be actually in the new Batman movie, which is a big surprise and I want to reveal it to everybody right now!
Q: Are you going to do Justice League after
BALE: No.
CROWE: What about the Green Lantern?

The day got started with my walk short but fulfilling. Then went to cut down a couple of trees for my mom. Now that was exercise. For the day got 13159 steps in so far. Since I've registered my steps for the day whatever I do for the rest of the night are bonus. Well made a very good dinner tonight healthy veggies, Pork Steak cooked on the grill with just onion & Garlic powder and pepper. Baked some onion rings and just had 6. Well hope you all had and are having a great day good night all.
All the Boo Hoooing I've done lately with not getting out walking as much as I was and eating what seems like everything in sight did not hurt my weight loss like I expected. I weighed in today after three weeks off and was very surprised to be at 146 right where I was. Now I wonder where I would have been if I had done better. I'm not going to dwell on the negative though and be happy I;m where I am. I'll keep getting out there 6 days a week and continue thinking about what I'm eating and tone the "junk: down a bit. Well this blog was early but I was excited about this. I hope you all have a similar good day later.
Well the price of gas in going down here in the house. Something I ate I think. Well I know TMI but thought it important. Well day went well got walk in this morning and eating on for day. Looking forward for tomorrow night it will be my friday and a coup,le of days off. Well good night all,
Had a ball at work but it was a long day. Put in 9 hours today. Had to go in early to help with the holiday celebration we had at the post. Lots of dancing and felt like an aerobic day while getting paid. Eating for first part of day great once things settled down at work dove in with the junk food. got 14490 steps in with almost 2 miles of walking just at work. Well hope you all had a great holiday weekend good night.

The Red Sox not only got a dependable and top-flight starter last night but they cleared a path for their best position prospect in years.
Right-hander Jake Peavy will join the Red Sox rotation from the White Sox as part of a three-way trade in which the Red Sox shipped shortstop Jose Iglesias to Detroit and the Tigers sent outfield prospect Avisail Garcia to Chicago.
Righty reliever Brayan Villarreal, who will report to Triple-A Pawtucket, also came in the deal with Peavy. Villareal was with the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate.

Women And Their Fantasy… Sports
by Paul on 11/20/08 at 12:13 PM ET

from Carly Weeks of the Globe and Mail,
In order to cast their net to a wider audience, an increasing number of fantasy sports companies have started offering simpler games that can appeal to a more mainstream audience - one that doesn't have the statistics of every player and team in a league memorized.
The changes have helped attract a growing female fan base, who now represent up to 25 per cent of the North American fantasy sports industry, according to some estimates.
"It's all in fun," said Jeffrey Thomas, president of the U.S.-based Fantasy Sports Trade Association. "Some [women] will do it to say 'Hey, I can beat you,' and it's fun, and it's fun competition and it's fun interaction."

Waiting For Their First Goal

from Scott Cullen of TSN,
Some players that are of interest to fantasy owners have yet to light the lamp a month into the season. Here's a breakdown of the more notable goalless NHL forwards.
Jonathan Toews, C, Chicago (0-7-7, minus-1, 36 shots in 12 GP)
He still leads Blackhawks forwards in ice time and he's getting more shots per game than he did as a rookie last season, so Toews will break through soon enough.

A Look At The Backup Goalie
by Paul on 10/28/08 at 12:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Victoria Matiash at ESPN Fantasy Hockey Blog,
Backup goaltenders are funny ducks when it comes to fantasy value. Some provide a positive, if occassional, boost as a third goalie. A few ascend to starter's status during the season and become those precious fantasy commodities we all strive to find. And others are just downright wretched. A handful, with varying degrees of value, were in action Monday night.

Don't Be Fooled By Early Stats
by Paul on 10/27/08 at 05:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the CP,
Still, there are some players with bigger numbers than you might expect heading into the fourth week of the campaign and for poolies they can either represent waiver-wire gold or a wasted transaction.
Brandon Dubinsky (4 goals, 7 assists, all stats before Monday's play), Filip Kuba (0-11), Mikko Koivu (1-9), Aaron Voros (5-4), Antti Miettinen (5-2), Ales Kotalik (4-3) and Bryan Little (4-3) all fit into that category and trying to decide if they're legit can be tricky.
If you're picking them up as an injury stop-gap or to milk a hot streak before moving on, there's little risk involved. But if you're looking at them as long-term solutions and plan to drop someone off to a slow start, than you had better be more careful.

Marleau Playing With Confidence

from Jim Wilkie of ESPN Fantasy Hockey Blog,
The new coach, who shares Saskatchewan roots with Marleau and has known his dad from when the Sharks captain played junior hockey in the WHL, has taken a patient approach with Marleau while he adapts to McLellan's new system. So far at least, McLellan's communication style has been a better motivator than the blunt criticism of former coach Ron Wilson, who was fired after last season's second-round loss to the Stars.
"He just looks so strong and he has a lot of confidence," Thornton told the San Jose Mercury News about Marleau. "You can tell. When you play with confidence the sky is the limit for guys like that."

Fantasy Talk From Duhatschek
by Paul on 10/01/08 at 01:25 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Durability is one of – if not - the most important criteria in determining where to put a player on your draft list. Take Martin Havlat for example – and the surprise is that so many choose to do so, even if Havlat has proven to be shockingly injury prone throughout his career. Two years ago, he produced 57 points in 56 games and was the dynamic offensive force the Chicago Blackhawks felt they needed to get their organization turned around.

from Jim Jamieson of the Vancouver Province,
Roenick was in Burnaby along with five other NHL players to go through some moves for Electronic Arts, in part to mark its launch of the 2009 version of the popular NHL video game franchise. Although he's 38 and has logged lots of miles over 19 NHL seasons, Roenick was the most entertaining character on and off the ice.
"I get more people asking about my [NHL 94 for Sega]," laughed Roenick of his legendary status in that version of the game. "I'm holding onto that."
In fact, Roenick makes most top-five lists for top athlete in video-game history, but he said his 11-year-old son Brett will be more pumped about his being in the 2009 game.
"I'm not a big gamer, but my son is a huge gamer," said Roenick. "My son thinks this is the coolest thing about me being a professional athlete."

Is He Ready For The NHL
by Paul on 09/08/08 at 03:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Chris Nichols of Sportsnet,
Teams tend to take varying approaches. Some opt to season prospects with more junior, college and AHL experience, while others will throw them directly to the proverbial wolves out of sheer necessity or sheer stupidity – take your pick.
Occasionally a player is just flat-out ready to step in and contribute right away; leaving management no choice but to play him.
This is an especially salient topic now, with NHL training camps on the verge of opening.
As poolies, we always want to be on the cutting edge of which guys are set to break out; whether they're entering their first year in the league or they've been finding their stride for the past few seasons in the pros and are now ready to make that next step.

An interesting thing happens when our kids reach that awkward adolescent age (and by "awkward" I do mean "horrible"): As fiercely as they pull away from us, seeking to establish their independence, we tug back, hoping for just a little more time together.
Sports and fitness provide a limited opportunity. We can show up and cheer at their ballgames. That still falls under the early-teenage code of cool. Some kids of 13 or 14 will also agree to a hike, a run, a bike ride or some tennis with the old man — as long as their friends don't see it, of course.

Business Leaders Begin Preparing For War
The University of Pennsylania's Wharton School of Business held an international symposium this week with global executives to discuss how businesses can and should prepare themselves in the event that the United States goes to war with Iraq.
The threat of war, coupled with a lame economy, has caused many businesses to postpone new projects and hold off on any new investments until more certainty of the future is known. "A lot of businesses have put themselves on hold," said Colin Crook, an adviser to the Wharton Fellows program and former chief technology officer for Citibank. "And the feeling of general economic malaise is worsening it. This is a … bleak situation, a double whammy. Nobody sees any positive signs of any sort."
Separately, in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, and large cities across the United States, business leaders are meeting with local government officials to prepare contingency plans, evacuation plans, and "survival" plans in the event of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack.
Resources Available to Business Owners
A number of resources have been developed to assist business owners create a disaster plan and prepare for the worse. Among them:
- Homeland Security Advisory System Recommendations [1] (American Red Cross) - describes recommended actions for businesses at the various threat levels identified by the Homeland Security Council
- Preparing Your Business For The Unthinkable [2] (American Red Cross) - guide to preparing your employees, customers and business in the event of a disaster
- Terrorism: Preparing For The Unexpected [3] (American Red Cross) - a step by step checklist of what to do in the event of an attack
- Emergency Management Guide For Business and Industry [4] (Federal Emergency Management Agency) - emergency planning, response and recovery guide for companies of all sizes
- Open For Business [5] (Small Business Administration) - A Disaster Planning Guide For The Small Business Owner
- Homeland Security State Contact List [6] (White House) - provides a map of the United States to identify each state's security coordinator

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Pregnant women throughout the United States are protected from employment discrimination under federal law, but that's not necessarily the case in Florida. Two state lawmakers are now trying to change that fact.
The article goes on to quote one of the legislators who want to amend the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA) to prohibit pregnancy discrimination:
"Some (of the pregnant women) are terminated from their jobs or they go into a hostile work environment because of their pregnancy so we want to make sure we eliminate those kinds of things," said State Sen. Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando.
Don't be misled by Senator Thompson or the Fox News article. Pregnancy discrimination is illegal in Florida, as it is in every other state.
It is true that courts disagree as to whether the FCRA prohibits pregnancy discrimination. I wrote about this issue on this blog last year. The proposed legislation attempts to end that debate.
But make no mistake, federal law, specifically Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, has prohibited pregnancy discrimination since 1978, when the Pregnancy Discrimination Act amended Title VII.
Employers with 15 or more employees are covered by Title VII. Employees of such employers – including employees in Florida – are therefore protected from pregnancy discrimination. That's because under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, federal law takes precedence over conflicting state laws.
The FCRA also covers employers with 15 or more employees. And the proposed amendments to the FCRA would not change that. So really, the issue of whether the FCRA prohibits pregnancy discrimination does not make a substantive difference.
So why is this an issue? Well, a cynic might argue that it's about political grandstanding. Most voters don't understand the nuances of state versus federal law. And most, I suspect, would be glad to hear that their representative voted for a law that prohibits pregnancy discrimination in employment. For a legislator, supporting such a law would seem to be a no-brainer.
There would be a practical effect to the legislation, though. Many plaintiff-side lawyers prefer to litigate discrimination cases in state court, which is generally seen as more plaintiff-friendly. If the proposed legislation is enacted into law, we will see more pregnancy discrimination cases filed in state court (under the FCRA) rather than in federal court (under Title VII). That's not an insignificant fact. But it's hardly a major civil rights issue, despite what the press and some legislators would like you to believe.

quote:Do you hate freedom?
quote:But they persuade these doctors into writing more of their prescriptions.
quote:.They get the Dr's ear, but there is no incentive to use their product, unless its whats needed, or you've got a patient that is perfect for it..
quote:Who forces you to take iChat the doc prescribes? If you don't like it, ask for another medicine. Or get another doctor. Stop pretending you're helpless. Take responsibility for your own health. It's not unreasonable to expect.
quote:ain, rather than being an insult-happy Internet badass, why don't you explain to me why buying food for doctors is done for anything other than getting doctors to prescribe their drugs
quote:Well one would hope that the doctor has your best interest in mind when he prescribes you something.
quote:How is a person outside of the medical field suppose to know which product is best?
quote:According to your logic, why even go to the doctor? If you need heart surgery, just do it yourself, take responsibility of your own health
quote:One would hope you'd take an interest about your own healthcare.
quote:I'd pose the same question to you: how do you know the doctor isn't prescribing the best medicine, but the most profitable? You seem to have the answers about what medicine is best.
quote:They pay doctors thousands of dollars to give speeches endorsing their product/products
quote:Also, they persuade the doctors into writing more of their prescriptions so that they can have the opportunity of giving one of these 10 minute endorsement speeches that will result in them getting paid thousands of dollars.
quote:Should we be concerned with these types of practices? Especially considering in something that is as serious as health
quote:10 minute, 2500 dollar endorsement of the product
quote:Wouldn't taking interest in one's own healthcare mean going to the doctor.
quote: I don't see anything wrong with expecting them to know more than you. I mean after all they went to medical school. I don't think we can expect the average citizen to spend the time to educate themselves on all of the details that doctors are paid to know
quote:I haven't even said out right that they ever prescribe you to much/ or an inferior medica
quote:why don't you explain to me why buying food for doctors is done for anything other than getting doctors to prescribe their drugs?
quote:It really is odd. These two assume docs are corrupt...but have zero evidence to support the assertion.
quote:Why not just send the information to the doctor without the food? Are you saying that doctors don't care to research new drugs without a little something to sweeten the pot?
quote:Eta: why would anyone care what the pharmicist thinks?
quote:FYI the SUBSYS rep was a 20 something blond that wore tight, short dresses during her visits to the doc.
