HUGH: You were determined to get what you wanted, and I think good directors do that. Cameron Crowe was telling me when he was directing Jerry Maguire that there was a line Renee [Zellweger] says, and he had Jim Brooks, who was producing, in the trailer watching a monitor, talking to him on a walkie-talkie between takes saying "It's such an important line--don't compromise!" And they went to Take 450 on this line just because it was so important. You had that steel...
COLIN: There's the expression about actors playing their reviews. They get great reviews, and then the next night they act out the description of themselves. Feedback is very dodgy. And the presence of a monitor? I've watched inexperienced actors go up and watch themselves, and you can see tragic levels of despair cross their faces...
...venture as far away from the router as you'd like with one of your networked notebooks, experiment with the router's placement. Indoor range should be about 300 ft., but will be significantly reduced by walls, hallways and other barriers.

...brief look at the composition of their advisory boards speaks to the difference between these groups: representatives of the very clothing companies the FLA supposedly monitors make up one third of its own executive committee; the WRC governing board, in contrast, is made up of labor experts, students and administrators. As a result, the WRC investigations are conducted and decisions about follow-up mediation are made independently of the brands involved. The FLA relies on the same corporations it’s supposed to monitor for much of its funding—seven out of the 11 monitors...
