Unfortunately, I can't give you a positive answer to your question. Disney has not yet announced whether or not it will be offering it's Florida Resident 3 Day Play Pass next year. My guess is that it will be offered since it is a very popular program. This particular pass is good for 6 months from date of purchase. Perhaps you can look into buying it towards the end of the year and planning your trip for the early part of 2012 so you can lock in the price? This pass has no block out dates.
I hope this information helps you! Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel!


I'm not sure about you, but since being immersed into the world of cupcakes, nothing is impossible, those little things once in your life are hard to get rid of. I guess we love them even more because they're inexpensive to make, can be made in batches of twelve, our creative mind and hands can do their work and best of all they're portioned sized…right! We take one, no more, just one and indulge in a decadence of flavours, frostings and taste sensations. All under control! I wanted to put a little pizzazz on that little cupcake…made for 'little' grown ups and a little surprise for those taste buds. A red velvet cupcake mix, with a surprise dash of kirsch, cream cheese frosting and chocolate Monetta luxury cream wafers. How does that sound to get your taste buds tingling! An easy entertainer…and a great eye teaser!

The hashtag "High-Speed Tyrant Woman" (#高铁霸座女#) already received a staggering 450 million views on Weibo today.
Manya Koetse
While the bizarre behavior of a male passenger went viral in late August, this time, it is a female passenger's rude behavior that's become trending on Chinese social media. Some netizens think the two 'high-speed train tyrants' (高铁霸座) deserve each other, creating memes putting them together.
In late August of this year, one rude man from Shandong who refused to give up the seat he took from another passenger became known as the "High-Speed Train Tyrant" (高铁霸座男 gāotiě bà zuò nán) on Chinese social media.
A video showing the man's bizarre behavior went viral, and netizens were especially angry because the man pretended he could not get up from the stolen seat and needed a wheelchair – although he did not need one when boarding the train.
The man pretended he needed a wheelchair, but actually did not want to give up the window seat.
The man was later temporarily blacklisted for his actions. Although he apologized in a public video, a newer video (Youtube link) made clear the man was everything but remorseful, as it showed him laughing, using an office chair as a 'wheelchair,' and joking around about his own behavior.
The "train tyrant" from Shandong.
The train bully that is now going viral, is a woman from Hunan who has been dubbed 'High-Speed Train Tyrant Woman' (高铁霸座女 gāotiě bà zuò nǚ") by Weibo netizens. She had taken a seat assigned to another passenger while riding the train from Yongzhou to Shenzhen.
A video (YouTube link here) – that has become one of the most-discussed topics on Weibo today – shows how a woman on a high-speed train makes a scene when the train conductor tells her she is in the wrong seat. She refuses to get up from her window seat to return to her own seat.
Instead, she raises her voice, talks rudely to the conductor, and simply claims she has bought a ticket and will not change to another seat until she has reached her final destination.
The hashtag "High-Speed Tyrant Woman" (#高铁霸座女#) already saw a staggering 450 million views at time of writing.
According to a Weibo statement that has been issued by Hengyang Railway Security (@衡阳铁路公安处) since the topic has become trending, the incident occurred on Wednesday, September 19, on a G6078 train. The stubborn passenger is the 32-year-old Ms. Zhou. She has now been fined 200 RMB (±$30) for "disturbing the order."
Weibo statement.
"Couldn't you fine these passengers a bit more?", some netizens wonder: "If the fine were higher, it might not happen that often anymore."
Many netizens are simply outraged: "Isn't this a society that is ruled by law? What do we do with these people?"
"How can people be so shameless?", a typical comment says.
While the incident is a source of anger for many, it is a source of banter for some; the incident has triggered a wave of new memes today that put the Shandong train tyrant and the woman together.
Some examples here:
Meanwhile, Guangzhou Railways (@广州铁路) has also responded to the issue on Weibo, stating that in cases such as these (when passengers are fined for their behavior), passengers can expect a 180-day ban from purchasing train tickets.
Just as in the case with the male 'train tyrant,' this time as well, the so-called human flesh search engine has come into action once the video went viral, meaning many netizens went digging to reveal the woman's identity. Her personal details have since been exposed on social media – a burden that will probably weigh much heavier on her than a temporary train ban or a 200 RMB fine.

Despite the overall condemnation of Iran, there are also many pointing the fingers at the US, writing: "It's all because of America."
First published January 11th 2020, 15:45 CST
Shortly after Iran's military announced on Saturday that it shot down Ukrainian Airlines flight 752 on Wednesday, killing all 176 passengers on board, the topic has become the number one trending hashtag on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
In a statement by the military, Iran admitted that the Boeing 737 was flying "close to a sensitive military site" when it was "mistaken for a threat" and taken down with two missiles.
Among the passengers were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans, and three British nationals.
Earlier this week, Iranian authorities denied that the crash of the Ukrainian jetliner in Tehran was caused by an Iranian missile.
The conflict between US and Iran has been a much-discussed topic on Chinese social media, also because the embassies of both countries have been openly fighting about the issue on Weibo.
Although many Chinese netizens seemed to enjoy the political spectacle on Weibo over the past few days, with anti-American sentiments flaring up and memes making their rounds, today's news about the Iranian role in the Ukrainian passenger plane crash is condemned by thousands of commenters.
"Iran is shameless!", one popular comment says. "This is the outcome of a battle between two terrorists!"
"Regular people are paying the price for these political games," others write: "So many lives lost, this is the terror of war."
The Iranian Embassy in China also posted a translated statement by President Hassan Rouhani on its Weibo account, saying the missiles were fired "due to human error."
Despite the overall condemnation, there are also many commenters pointing the fingers at the US, writing: "It's all because of America."
Meanwhile, the American Embassy has not published anything about the issue on its Weibo account at time of writing.
The hashtag "Iran Admits to Unintentionally Shooting Down Ukrainian Plane" (#伊朗承认意外击落乌克兰客机#) gathered over 420 million views on Weibo by Saturday afternoon, Beijing time.
Chinese state media outlet CCTV has shared an infographic about the US-Iran conflict and the passenger jet news, writing they hope that these "flames of war" will never happen again.

The US-Iran conflict has extended to Weibo, where Chinese netizens watch the online 'battle' unfold.
"Don't know if you all have discovered it yet, but the Iranian Embassy in China and the American Embassy in China have started to fight on Weibo," prominent Chinese media outlet 21st Century Business Herald (21世纪经济报道) writes on Weibo on January 10th.
The Iranian and American embassies have been all the talk on Chinese social media this week. While US-Iran tensions are dominating international media headlines, the embassies of Iran and US have been taking their conflict to the Chinese social media platform.
Ever since January 3rd, when the head of Iran's Quds Force Qasem Soleimani was killed by a US airstrike in Iraq, the Beijing embassies of both the USA and Iran have engaged in an online argument over the conflict between their two countries.
The Iranian Embassy (@伊朗驻华大使馆), that has 254670 followers on its Weibo account, condemned the assassination of Soleimani on January 3rd by reposting and translating a Twitter post by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, calling it a "dangerous and foolish" act of "international terrorism."
That post received over 23,000 likes and thousands of comments, with many of them showing support for Iran.
The US Embassy Weibo account (@美国驻华大使馆), that has over 2,5 million followers, also posted a response to the attack on January 4 by translating several quotes by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asserting that the decision to kill Soleimani was the right one and that it made the world a safer place.
Although many of the thousands of netizens responding to the American Embassy's post praised the attack, there was also a lot of criticism.
"The terrorist group 'USA' has claimed responsibility for this act of terrorism," one popular comment said, with others also pointing the finger at the American government for behaving as 'terrorists.'
With the deepening of the US-Iran crisis after the Iranian military launched missiles against US bases in Iraq earlier this week, the Weibo posts and comments just keep coming in.
On January 8, the Iranian Embassy wrote that the "end of malign US presence in West Asia has begun," a sentence also posted on Twitter by Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
In between some light-footed Weibo posts about the Golden Globes, the American Embassy published various Weibo posts explaining its stance on the situation. One post of January 7 detailed the "bloody history" of Qassem Soleimani, writing about him as a terrorist and evil man who killed hundreds of people.
The online 'battle' between Iran and the US has led to various hashtags, such as "The Weibo Fight of the Iranian and US Embassy of China" (#美伊驻华大使馆微博互斗#), a topic that is receiving a lot of attention on Chinese social media.
The official accounts of two foreign powers' embassies, discussing their conflict on a Chinese social media platform, in Chinese; it's not common, and Chinese netizens talk about it while Chinese media write about it.
One sentence* has been reposted dozens of times by Weibo users over the past days: "Here's the world's largest imperialist country and the world's largest theocratic republic, on a social media platform of the world's largest socialist nation, using Standard Chinese to engage in a fierce diplomatic fight."
"And we're all watching and eating popcorn," one commenter added [literal expression used is "Chī guā qúnzhòng" (吃瓜群众), online expression for "watermelon eating masses," meaning clueless bystanders watching the situation unfold].
The Weibo battleground has seemingly also turned into a way for the embassies to win the favor of the Chinese public; the Iranian Embassy, for example, published a post on its Weibo account that invites Chinese tourists to visit Iran during the Spring Festival and pinned it to its main page to attract the attention of readers amidst the recent online upheaval.
The online presence of the US-Iran conflict shows the importance of 'Weibo diplomacy,' also known as 'Weiplomacy.' A large number of foreign embassies in China have a presence on Sina Weibo to engage with local audiences. It is a low-cost, convenient, and seemingly effective tool to promote their countries, political goals, and inform people about their latest activities.
Over the past week, it seems that the majority of Chinese netizens have sided with Iran and condemned the US. This public sentiment, however, might have more to do with the prevailing anti-American sentiments over the past year than a general pro-Iranian stance.
In a 2016 overview of most popular foreign embassies on Weibo, the US embassy scored a number three position with its 1+ million followers, while the Iranian account only came in at number 39 with a mere 6000+ fans on its account.
Although it is unusual for foreign embassies to use Weibo as an online battleground for their offline conflicts, it is not the first time it has happened. In 2014, What's on Weibo reported how the Beijing embassies of Russia and Poland also argued on Weibo during the aftermath of MH17 crash.
This time around, some netizens conclude that the only one to really 'win' in online conflicts such as these is the Weibo platform itself. As the Weibo posts keep going, the 'melon eating masses' keep coming. "The Sina Weibo company must be secretly laughing at this ordeal," one person writes.

Good Luck, Mrs. K.!
By Louise Borden
Illustrated by Adam Gustavson
Mrs. Kempczinski -- "Mrs. K." to her third-grade students -- is everyone's favorite teacher. Exciting and dynamic, Mrs. K. knows sign language, celebrates Worm Day, and performs "homework dances." One day the third graders are explorers, learning about faraway places. Other days, they are poets or scientists or astronauts. Every day with Mrs. K. is different, and every day is fun.
Suddenly, though, Mrs. K. is not in school and Room 3 has a substitute teacher. The principal explains that Mrs. K. is in the hospital with cancer. The class writes letters and draws pictures for Mrs. K. One student, Ann Zesterman, tells Mrs. K. that she says "Kemp-chin-ski" for good luck when she plays basketball at recess. Another, A.J., wonders how many operations it takes to cure cancer, but no one has the answer. When will Mrs. K. come back?
Based on a true story, narrated by nine-year-old Ann and with lovely full-color paintings, this honest and forthright story addresses a subject of much importance and concern for young and old alike.

Baz Luhrmann and Nas will bring the South Bronx in the 1970s back to life.
If you're looking for something a bit more fast-paced than its eleven "slow TV" offerings in August, Netflix is adding plenty of original content, including Part One of The Get Down, Baz Luhrmann's highly anticipated new show set in the South Bronx in the 1970s.
This musical drama follows a group of teenagers coming of age during the birth of punk, disco, and hip-hop. The first six episodes of the show will hit the streaming service on Friday, August 12, with the rest of the first season to coming sometime in 2017.
"The series is very true to the early hip hop scene — the people that were there are all in this story, as well as people you never meet until now," says executive producer Nas. "It's the first time we all get to see a series about the time hip hop began." Netflix points out that the series uses archival footage and hit influential music of the era.
But how did Luhrmann, a 53-year-old white Australian come to this story half a world away?
Also coming to Netflix in August, the film adaptation of The Little Prince. The movie, which is available August 5, features stop motion animation and voice work from Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, James Franco, and more.
While the full Netflix August movie line-up feels a little weak compared to June or July, Netflix is also adding a few film favorites in August, like Pay it Forward, Blue is the Warmest Color, and No Country for Old Men. Plus, you'll be able to watch The Fast and the Furious and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift starting August 1. Hopefully that's enough to make you forget that your subscription is now a little pricier.

This is the third in a three-part series, How Does The Gospel Shape Our Gathering? Read, "Part 1: A Theological Framework," and, "Part 2: Our Liturgical Form."
We've moved in this series from the fixed and permanent things to the more flexible things. Every church should sing and preach the Word. But churches can go about that differently. I've known of churches where the congregation requests songs on the spot. That's not what we do but that's one way to do it. In this post I'll outline how we design our worship services. There are five sections of material here working chronologically as they typically happen. But these aspects of service design often blend in together. We have a formula to help us work well together, but don't mean to be formulaic.
Focusing the Service
The most consequential and non-negotiable part of our service is the preached Word. Preaching is the main way Christ by his Spirit saves and sustains the church. Preaching defines the gospel and, therefore, the church. For these reasons, preaching is the structural climax and thematic center for our service. Everything else leads to and flows from this.
Keying off the preached Word, each Sunday gathering has two themes: a theme of revelation and a theme of response. The first theme focuses our attention on a facet of God's glory and grace. The second theme focuses our response in a way appropriate to what God has revealed.
Here are some questions we ask to bring focus to a service:
Is there a doctrinal theme in this week's text, last week's text, or in the series that would be especially useful for this Sunday's gathering, keeping the overall diet in mind?
Is there a natural biblical response offered in the book or preaching text that we can draw from for this service?
How do these themes of revelation and response relate to the thematic emphasis of the sermon? (reinforcement, complement, contrast, etc.)
Gathering the Texts
Several tools help us gather our songs and readings. The first is a song catalogue, curated with about 160 songs that we sing as a church. These are songs whose texts are, in our judgment, especially good and whose tunes are especially singable. They are also songs that we can lead musically with excellence while still stretching us. We have songs that help us learn and sing just about every truth we believe. We have songs written for calling us into God's praise, for leading us in confession, and for praying for the Word. We tag each song in the catalog to help us find the best songs for each Sunday. The second tool we use is a liturgy notebook filled with Scriptures and readings. Some of these are home cooked but many are curated from various other resources.
In gathering our material, we want to avoid two ditches. We want to avoid the ditch of incoherence, where there is no thematic relationship between the songs. On the other hand, it's our approach to avoid a service that is too matchy-matchy. Someone should not end the service and think, "wow, we just sang a bunch of songs about how Christ is a 'rock.'" Rather, as a result of the cumulative effect of the design, we want to say together, "wow, Jesus Christ is our rock!"
Here are some questions we ask ourselves once our themes are chosen:
What songs, readings, or prayers immediately come to mind? How might these serve the following elements?: call, praise, confession, assurance, illumination, and response. With more research, what other songs, readings, or prayers might serve these elements?
Is there an opportunity this week to use a song that we haven't sung in over six months? Is this a good week to introduce a new song we have waiting for the right Sunday to introduce? Are there any newer songs we should repeat? Any regulars we should avoid repeating?
What additional themes have emerged so far in this preaching series—and especially last week—that we can at least subtly echo in this service?
Organizing the Material
There are three basic patterns we can follow in designing a service. First, the historic gospel pattern in which we move from a call/praise > confession > assurance > a prayer/song of illumination > preaching > response/ordinances > benediction. We may put a profession of faith in there, but that's the general flow. This is our most typical pattern and these elements will emerge in the other approaches as well, but for some elements less prominently. Second, there's the gospel narrative pattern, where we move through an event in Scripture, whether it be the Bible's whole story from creation > fall > redemption > new creation, or an event like the Exodus. The third approach is the gospel passage pattern. This is where we take a passage of Scripture—a Psalm or a paragraph in a letter, for example—and we work through that passage in the course of the service.
Here are a few questions we ask in this phase:
What pattern of service design seems best suited to the theme and texts we've gathered?
How can we bring a sense of proportion to this week's service with songs old and new, songs to God and to one another about God, traditional and modern musical settings?
How do each of these songs/readings/prayers uniquely relate to the service theme and how should they be ordered?
Ironing Out the Details
This step involves writing out the Call to Worship, modifying any readings to better advance our themes, and crafting song transitions. To return to our metaphor of a building, transitional comments are like signs that move through the gathering. They aren't destinations but directions to help us get where we're going. These are typically short—one or two sentences—just like signs should be. They should be meaningful, minimal, and memorable so that they can be delivered comfortably and with connection.
To write these, we identify where we are in the service and then meditate on the beginnings and end of songs to form a simple verbal conceptual link between them. These brief comments do more than explain, moving us from one element to another. They invite and exhort us, moving our spirits and moving us toward one another and to the Lord.
Here are some questions we ask in this phase:
Where is the movement plain enough between elements that we can forego a transition at least once or twice during this service? Where is the movement between elements unclear enough such that a transition of some kind is needed?
Where needed, how can we craft one or a few lines to help us move simply, briefly, poetically, and (for the leader's sake) memorably from one element to another?
How can we adapt the readings to more carefully unify the service and advance its themes?
Preparing the People
We want our gatherings to adorn the Word of God with undistracting excellence. We want to raise our affections with the Word. We want to involve the whole congregation without smothering their voice with our artistry. All of this involves a certain combination of musical and technical skill, spiritual maturity, nurtured relationships, and things like emails, software, and rehearsals. What does this mean for us week-to-week? It means involving the right people in the right ways and with the right preparation.
At Heritage, we are blessed immensely with skilled musicians who love our Lord and love his church. We have people skilled at playing instruments, arranging songs, leading rehearsals, mixing sound for the room, and organizing these parts to put our attention where it belongs. We have godly elders and deacons who prepare and lead us in prayers that are scriptural, understandable, and sincere. Deanna Moore skillfully prepares our music and our musicians. From the back of the room, Brian Burch leads our tech and mixing teams, so you don't even notice them. A post could easily be devoted to the work involved in the teams they lead. Lisa Hansen supports us all with with heart and administrative skill. Abe Stratton leads us pastorally and vocally most Sundays without missing a note. There are countless others.
Focusing now just on music and musicians, here are some questions we ask:
What kind of ensemble and instruments are best suited for this week's songs? Is there a song we're singing that requires a special musical touch by a particular musician? Importantly, who is available?
What musical settings and transitions will best serve this week's service themes and design? What can we do musically with undistracting excellence? How might we hold out the truth of a song with our artistry?
Are there any opportunities this week for us to grow musically and technically? Are there any singing difficulties with one of these songs that requires special attention?
As you see and know those who lead us in more and less public ways on Sunday, give thanks to God for them, and then give praise to God with them. That's why they're there.
In addition to preparing those who will lead us on Sundays we also prepare you. We prepare you with details about the sermon text and theme, with playlists of songs we plan to sing, and with prayer before the service taking place in a number of venues. Watch Friday's email, The Weekly, for those sermon and song details.
What Makes for Acceptable Worship?
Acceptable to whom? This is a good place to end this series of posts. Our concern in gathered worship is how we may offer worship acceptable to God. Our forms and expressions should be sensible for us as a unique local church. But our first interest is in worship that pleases the Lord.
What makes for acceptable worship to the Lord? Simply this: the blood and righteousness of Christ. There are many matters of prudence when it comes to the songs we sing and how to order our gathering. We should come on the Lord's Day with hearts devoted to him, no matter what happened that week or what we did the day before. But none of these things earns us a standing with God. None of these things makes us acceptable to God. That's because none of these things can make a worshiper of God. Christ and Christ alone makes us acceptable to God and Christ alone makes sinners into worshipers.
Before we come together we must come to him. And having come together, we come through him! Loved ones, remember, "as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" (1Pe. 2:9, 10).

I Am Legend was ahead of its time. Like, way ahead of its time.
Not only did the Will Smith tour de force depict Times Square emptied by a global epidemic more than a decade before the exact same thing happened IRL, but it also managed to predict DC's plans for a Batman versus Superman live-action movie. Unsurprisingly, the team behind I Am Legend was more confident about the latter.
"We kept saying, 'This is going to happen. It's going to happen, guys,'" visual effects producer Mike Chambers tells Inverse. "And eventually, that movie did come out."
Based on Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name, I Am Legend remains the definitive retelling (two other movie adaptations exist) thanks to Will Smith's memorable performance (in interviews at the time, he compared the role to Gladiator and Forrest Gump) and the daring decision to relocate the story from Los Angeles to New York and film largely on location.
"Why not just shoot it on the streets of New York?"
A gargantuan operation therefore began in order to present the city that never sleeps as the city that had gone to sleep. Smith's character, Dr. Robert Neville, who is immune to the virus that wiped out billions of people, roams around a deserted Times Square and beyond, rifle on shoulder, ready to shoot any of "the infected." Manhattan had never looked so empty, even if behind the scenes the set was swarmed by everyone from New York's governor to the city's police commissioner.
"It was a logistical nightmare but a pleasure to be on," recalls producer Michael Tadross.
On the movie's 15th anniversary, Inverse presents an oral history of I Am Legend according to the people who made the film. (Will Smith and director Francis Lawrence declined to participate.)
"Let's shoot as little visual effects as we can and get out on the streets of New York and make a movie." Village Roadshow Pictures
Naomi Shohan (production designer): We had an extremely long prep. We spent about six months in Los Angeles drawing concepts before we even got to New York and then another six months in New York.
Michael Tadross (producer): We took the raw script and broke it down. Nobody could figure out how to shoot it. A year or two earlier, they tried to do a very similar movie and they couldn't get it off the ground. So I said, "Why not just shoot it on the streets of New York?" They said, "Nobody's going to allow us to do that." And I said, "Well, everybody else wants to spend millions and millions on special effects. Let's shoot as little visual effects as we can and get out on the streets of New York and make a movie."
Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Zoe Neville): You just knew it was going to be a special movie.
Creating the Creatures
"It was lost, the grace of some of the dancers." Village Roadshow Pictures
Kathleen Chopin (casting director): From a superficial glance, you would think there are really very few people in the film. You don't realize how large the cast actually is. There was a very intensive focus and search on finding the creatures, who ended up being called "the infected" in the final script. They were a combination of modern dancers, stunt people, acrobatic people, and parkour people. The brief I was given was that they had to be between 5'10" and 6'1" and under 190 pounds or something.
Naomi Shohan: How to present a creature is always a difficult problem. We were talking about ants and birds and the way that swarms move. It was kind of a hive-mind idea. We did some work with a couple who were dancers who performed naked and really slowly and that was pretty interesting too. I guess they were completely shaved because I can't remember any body hair of any kind. They just sort of moved in an almost entwined way, close to the ground for the most part. It wasn't human in the normal way you expect a human being to move. The conversation was "Can we have our creatures be naked? Oh, the studio will never allow it."
"I guess they were completely shaved."
Kathleen Chopin: Will and Francis [Lawrence, director] and all the producers came in, and [the creatures] basically did a little performance, which was really kind of fantastic because by the time they were finished, literally the producers were all backed up against the wall, terrified.
Mike Chambers (visual effects producer): We were always saying, "Don't call 'em zombies" or "Don't call 'em vampires." They were not just undead but humans that had been transformed by this horrible disease. Early on, they were a little more primitive, a little more beastly. And as we went farther along, it became important to show that these weren't just monsters. They had been human beings.
Kathleen Chopin: Looking through my notes, there are pieces of paper like "Creatures day at the hair salon" because one of the requirements, if you were one of the creatures, was to shave your head. Performers on that level, particularly dancers, are very emotionally connected beings. So for most of them, it was quite traumatic to have their heads shaved. I literally sat and held their hands one by one as they were having their heads shaved.
Mike Chambers: I think the first shoot that I attended was the invasion of all creatures, running through Washington Square Park. We obviously had a bunch of performers running through the park; we didn't know exactly how they were going to look when we were done with them.
Kathleen Chopin: If you're someone that saw that work, there is a feeling that some of that was lost in them becoming so digitized.
Mike Chambers: It was lost, the grace of some of the dancers.
Creating the post-apocalypse
"A book came out shortly after our movie came out, and it said in three years the whole place would be covered in green, which was faster than we expected." Village Roadshow Pictures
Naomi Shohan: We started to take lots and lots of pictures of the streets from above and start[ed] to subtract cars in every shot. You end up with an image of an empty street, which can never ever exist in real life. I believe we learned how to do the subtraction from 28 Days Later.
Mike Chambers: Through the production period, it was really just being attendant to every location we were at as to what we would need to do to get rid of the city that never sleeps and didn't while we were there: everything from removing cars and people to building up weeds in the ground.
"It happened that Times Square was being redesigned, and we got our hands on the plans."
Naomi Shohan: The other important question was how long had this been going on, and what had happened to the city in the meantime? We didn't understand how quickly plant life actually would take over the city. A book came out shortly after our movie came out, and it said in three years the whole place would be covered in green, which was faster than we expected. I had been pushing for a more overgrown version of the city, and it wasn't until the illustrators drew a pile-up of cars at the mouth of the Holland Tunnel with an enormous puddle reflecting seagulls flying in the air that the idea of the eeriness of Manhattan finally came through.
Mike Chambers: Parts of the Times Square sequence were shot on a stage. Then we had to put in all the surrounding buildings, the street, stuff like that.
Naomi Shohan: We make the world and they shoot it. We built Times Square, which had a lot of blue screens, obviously. We were in an enormous armory in the Bronx that was 600 feet by 300 feet. Huge. It was big enough to do Times Square. It happened that Times Square was being redesigned, and we got our hands on the plans.
Mike Chambers: Everything was based on the actual environment, the real buildings there. I always liked the fact that in the Times Square scene, there's a sign on one of the theater marquees that says Batman vs. Superman. We kept saying, "This is going to happen. It's going to happen, guys." And eventually, that movie did come out.
"Everything was based on the actual environment, the real buildings there." Village Roadshow Pictures
Naomi Shohan: We took a private plane with Will to visit the CDC in Washington. We wanted to see a Level 4 lab. It's where they're experimenting with biological horrors. A Level 4 lab is the most secure. We were actually able to see how they sterilize a room. They cover it with some sort of paint so there are never any corners. Everything is round so they can get it completely clean.
The other big discussion was about what this virus was, and how could it be in any way sort of plausible that the virus could so quickly transform human beings into this other version of human beings. It was so interesting to me that we never thought about wearing masks. An airborne infection is really really dangerous, but none of us ever thought about people wearing masks. Isn't that weird? I'm really ashamed of that, actually. Even Dr. Neville, a scientist, never thinks of putting on a mask.
Shutting down the city
"Will had a huge trailer. It was like a double-decker. That trailer probably brought more neighbor complaints than anything else." Village Roadshow Pictures
Michael Tadross: We had a huge crew. It was the biggest film in the history of New York to date. Every day, something came up where I had to be there. The governor came one day, people from the city council; the mayor's office was there almost every day, and the police commissioner came. Will took pictures with all the police. It was a logistical nightmare but a pleasure to be on.
The helicopter on the pier — the big scene with him putting his daughter in the helicopter — was a tough scene to shoot. We had to close part of the FDR Drive. We had fire engines. It was very, very difficult. We were shooting out by the pier, and it was 3 in the morning and the extras were starting to fall asleep and it was freezing cold, and Will got onto the roof of a car and started singing "Miami," and all 300 extras started dancing.
"People can't drive that fast anymore when we shut down the streets in New York."
Salli Richardson-Whitfield: I remember when we shot the big sequence running up to the helicopter. I had obviously done other movies before that, but I remember thinking, "Oh, I thought I was in movies before… now, this is a movie." I do remember his daughter, who was playing our daughter. Willow was very young. I remember at one point she dropped the dog by accident.
Naomi Shohan: I know that they drove too fast and created a problem. People can't drive that fast anymore when we shut down the streets in New York.
Mike Chambers: Will had a huge trailer. It was like a double-decker. That trailer probably brought more neighbor complaints than anything else.
Michael Tadross: We cleared from 57th Street to St. Patrick's Cathedral. That's quite a few blocks. We had 350 production assistants, police, security. My wife came to visit the set that day, and she said, "This is ridiculous. We're standing on Fifth Avenue near Rockefeller Center. Will Smith is standing in the street and there's not one noise. Not one car. Not one horn. Nobody's speaking." It was just silence. They respected the movie.
"I met the dog. Lovely. Very nice." Village Roadshow Pictures
Naomi Shohan: I love the beginning of the movie when he's just alone with the dog. And I don't care for the rest.
Steve Berens (dog trainer): I started looking for a female [dog], and I found her in a kennel up towards the California coast. It was an old kennel that was kind of going under, and she was there. She was just under 2 years old and was going to be a breeder. She had the right look. As it started, I went to Will's place, and she started barking at him. I was like, "My gosh, settle down, you're going to get me fired before we get going here." Will was fabulous. He viewed the dog as his co-star, which is smart. I was very happy with the end result. I believe that she looked like his dog. She passed away three years ago. She was a fabulous dog.
Naomi Shohan: I met the dog. Lovely. Very nice.
Steve Berens: I actually worked with a treadmill that was in the hotel. I just started very slowly and would have the other trainer as a kind of safety. I took it to a complete sprint. As we got closer, I had this treadmill with a dial, and I could control it completely. Francis just wanted the dog trotting, and I was like, "Are you sure? Don't you want her to start sprinting when he starts sprinting on the treadmill?" I just made this face, and Will looks over and he says, "You got her sprinting good, don'tcha?" I said, "Hell yeah, man, I've been working on that like crazy. I want to do it." I don't think we ever did.
Michael Tadross: Having a dog run on a treadmill is pretty cool.
Steve Berens: We shot a couple of different endings, and you didn't know where it was going to go, but I thought the more powerful one was when he had to [murder] his own dog. I had the dog just roll down his arm and just get to the ground. She really learned the concept of letting it all go so much so that at first because Will hadn't rehearsed it, he was kind of catching her and was afraid she would hit too hard or whatever. She rolled down the arm but when her head just touched the ground, it was just a little bit of a bounce, and I was so happy with that shot. She had to learn that concept of releasing everything in the body as if you've fainted. I was about 6 feet away, just down low, probably on my hands and knees.
Multiple endings

Mike Chambers: We completed both endings, visual effects-wise. When we delivered, I don't think they'd decided which one they were going to go with.
Michael Tadross: We just wanted to make sure, if we had to do a sequel, we could do it. You don't know if he blew up or not because he was behind a brick wall.
Naomi Shohan: In the book, the end of the story is not hopeful for human beings as we know them at present. It's hopeful for the new kind. It's their turn. They've all turned into something else, and there's no way that you can have a human life anymore.
"The city of New York opened their hearts to us."
Salli Richardson-Whitfield: I went to the New York premiere, which was exciting. I remember Tom Cruise there. It was a huge premiere. They'll be great memories to have forever.
Michael Tadross: At different screenings, I would sneak into, there were people having standing ovations in the theater. People loved that movie. The city of New York opened their hearts to us. They've never done it before, and I'm not sure they'll ever do it again.


I would love to give Debbie Bridgewater a shout out at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, the Harley Quinn – Don't fix me love me for what's broken shirt. Debbie supported me and my husband after we lost our two baby boys last year. It's important that Midwives are recognised for when things go wrong as well as all the joy they bring. Thank you Debbie you was a rock to me.
It so nearly went undetected until another midwife said she wasn't happy, she was taken down to neonatal where it went from a little worried to she could die. From the midwife who picked up the issues, the Harley Quinn – Don't fix me love me for what's broken shirt and to the midwives who cared and nursed my little girl back to health in intensive care, I thank you and owe you the world, we got very lucky and it's all down to your quick thinking.
All midwives at frimley park hospital they acted so fast with my son who was born with meningitis due to me being a strep b carrier without they're quickness of Harley Quinn – Don't fix me love me for what's broken shirt and then treating me with my second whilst in labour meant for a quick healthy delivery for my daughter. They do an amazing job.

Joey Sturgis's top 10 tips for producers
By Danny Turner (Future Music) 2016-02-24T13:09:00.54Z Tech
Elite rock/metal producer provides invaluable advice for those getting into the production world
"There's a big business relying on you, including the band, all their families and even their managers. Definitely don't let that stress you out, but let that light a fire under your ass to do things in a responsible way."
American record producer Joey Sturgis only started recording in 2004, yet already has a vast array of production credits. Operating within the metalcore and rock domains, his experience in mixing, mastering and audio engineering has made him one of the go-to producers in his field.
Not only is Sturgis a producer, but he also owns his own plugin company, Joey Sturgis Tones. The latest product, Finality, can be found on the JST website.
We sat down with Joey to find out his top 10 tips for producers...
1. Listen to a lot of different styles of music and let that be influential
"I've found this to be important over the years. I've worked with a lot of interns and a lot of them think they need to know everything about metal in order to produce metal, but what I've found is you can listen to hip hop, for example, and take clues and hints about rhythm, counter-melodies and beats and apply that to metal.
"I feel that's not intuitive to most people. So listen to a lot of different music, let it influence you and don't be discriminative about genres or unpopular styles of music when it comes to what you're working on.
"Remember, rock music was an evolution of blues combined with some other things, so everything is an extension of something that came before it - and if it wasn't for that we wouldn't have the diversity we have now."
2. Don't be afraid to speak your mind - gut instinct is powerful
"When working with an artist, there's a lot of emotions involved. Sometimes it can be stressful because you're not sure if they'll think your ideas are stupid or if they're even open to ideas. It's important to know that the artist is walking into the room to try and sell you the song, and they might not even be 100% sure about it or think it's the best song they've ever written, but you've got to be able to see through that and not be afraid to speak up about it as well.
"What I say is, put it all out there and don't have any fear, because a lot of limitations in music come from fear. What if this song isn't going to make their fans happy? What if it doesn't sell? What if it's too heavy or too fast? But all these peer-driven things are going to put you in a box. I've found that gut instinct is always right.
"The first time I listen to a demo I'll take notes, because as a producer that's where the inception begins. Sometimes I won't even read them until after hearing it many times, but my instinct always tends to make sense."
3. Always have a reason for your ideas
"Let's say you're working on a song and the intro is too long. You want to shorten it, and in your mind that's exactly what you should do, but what if the artist asks 'why'? If you don't have a good reason, you're going to be hard to deal with, and that can happen on multiple levels.
"Part of speaking your mind is making sure you know why and what it is that you're trying to accomplish through those reasons. You've got to think of it as not going to war with an artist, but showing them how your idea is going to make the song better and prove to them why.
"This may be a moot point, but even if you're feeling something should happen in a song and you're not sure why, I still think you should speak up and try to feel out the reasons behind it."
4. Listen to the artist and try to put yourself in their shoes
"This is so important because I heavily disagree with producers who say, 'no, no, no, you're doing it all wrong, the chorus has to hit at x point'. Any type of rule set you come up with is completely wrong.
"If I can't come up with a really good argument for why one of my ideas is good, and I'm putting myself in the artist's shoes, then I know it's not the right thing to be doing. I also find it's very important to listen to an artist. They might tell you, 'this doesn't have enough bass', but maybe that's not what they mean - maybe the guitars are too loud so the bass isn't getting the opportunity to alter the song, or if the vocals aren't loud enough maybe it's because all the music's too loud.
"Try to understand to the artist, even when the words aren't coming out of their mouth."
5. Be confident - but don't have an ego
"Be confident, but make sure your confidence comes from a place of humbleness and sincerity, and that you only care about the quality of the product and the art.
"You don't want to be saying how you've achieved this and that or sold this many records and produced this many No.1 songs and therefore what you're saying is right. If that's your attitude, your ideas are probably wrong because you're essentially basing your decisions on what's happened in the past.
"Now, of course we need to be drawing inspiration from our experiences and all of the music that we have consumed, which has happened in the past, however, the decision-making process should be forward-thinking. Let's not forget that it's just art; it's not a right or wrong contest.
6. Be responsible and set good work hours
"This is a growing problem because the more readily available we are to home recording, the more this will become a factor. If you really want to excel as a producer, it's competitive. There's a lot of other people out there willing to wake up at 5am, go to the studio and work a 16-hour day.
"If you're not being responsible, somebody else is, and they'll take your work from you. So remember, there's a big business relying on you, including the band, all their families and even their managers. Definitely don't let that stress you out, but let that light a fire under your ass to do things in a responsible way."
7. Stay current, but know when to go off the beaten path
"It's important that you stay current and know what's going on, but you also want to contribute to that right? If you're just trying to follow everyone then you're not contributing, being a leader or paving your own path.
"It's important to have some sort of unique approach. For example, I started incorporating cinematic sound effects into the metal genre, adding explosions and car crashes into songs, and even went as far as doing movie trailer string compositions over the top of breakdowns, and that's what made me popular as a producer.
"What I learned from that is, once you find a new or unique approach to a certain style of music, it's something you should run with as long as you know that it's working."
8. Be prepared. Setup time kills vibe.
"The worst thing is when you get an artist that comes in fired up, super-inspired and motivated and you've got a six-hour drum setup process. By the end of those six hours, the artist is no longer stoked and you've killed the entire vibe [laughs].
"The way I have everything set up, it's always ready to go. I can record vocals, drums or guitars right away, and I also set up my production process so that I have sessions created if the artist wants to record a guitar riff on a song then immediately jump to vocals on a completely different song.
"That's super-important in today's environment, as the demand for instant recalls or delivering songs in ten different formats has gone insane. I'm always prepared for whatever the artist wants to throw at me, and that's what makes me a good producer."
9. Look at the bigger picture before the artist even walks through the door
"Ask yourself, how am I going to approach the record? Am I going vibey or more old-school? I want to know this before the band has even come through the door, because that's going to trickle all the way down to every movement I make in the studio.
"If you're thinking about the big picture with every move, it's going to create a more cohesive product in the end. I've always tried to get on the same page as the artist from the start, asking what they're trying to do with the record.
"I like to talk to them on the phone or hang out with them at a show if possible and almost become one of the band members. I find that to be very eye-opening and it's better than trying to do that during the creative process."
10. Have fun. The joy of the art creates wonderful art.
"All things considered, people can hear when you're having fun and when you love what you're doing, and the biggest translatable thing a producer can do is to funnel that into the music.
"Of course, you may have your sad and depressing songs, but I guess the motto here is, if you take it too seriously it will come to a point where you become unhappy, your work will suffer and the art will suffer.
"So put the art first, and if you're having a bad day try to put that aside because music is forever. You're literally creating history, and once that song's recorded it's out there forever."

I'm just curious to know how familia earnings are calculated. What are they based on? Assuming that they are based on my deposit, if I deposit $1,000,000,000, How much does my familia see of that?
Reward your closest Mobsters by adding them to your Familia. Every time you win in Battle, Complete a Job, or Claim a Hitlist, your Familia will receive a percentage of your earnings!

Is there anywhere I can see how many familia you can add per level?
Property income doesn't help Familia members though.
