"I can't" and the amazing truth about us all
We say "I can't" all the time:
"I can't come to dinner, because it's my wife's birthday."
"I can't stop smoking. Its too hard."
"I can't figure out why I'm so tired. I'm just tired."
But its never true. Every "I can't" is always an "I don't want to":
"I don't want to come to dinner because I prioritise my wife's birthday."
"I don't want to have to deal with "too hard" while I quit smoking."
"I don't want to figure out why I'm so tired. I'm satisfied with 'so tired'."
If we can realise that "I can't" is never an expression of ability, we will be more truthful about what it really expresses: Willingness.
If we can replace "I can't" with "I don't want to", we will be more honest with ourselves and everyone else.
It will be hard, but we will be willing to do "hard".
"Of course," you will say, "there are limits to this denial of can't."
"OK, maybe I don't want to go to dinner with you, but I can't play anything on a violin! "
But it's not true. There are no limits.
If I want to play a violin, I will play a violin. It's as simple as that. We are all amazing. We are all limitless. And we are all able.
If we want to be.
"No, no, that's enough," you will say, grasping at straws. "There are still some things I can't do :
I can't jump over a tall building without any aid from technology."
And you will wait for me to say that you could try if you wanted to.
But I won't. Because that's not the point and not the truth that gives rise to the point.
Yes. There are some limits in physical ability.
I could not go out today and complete an Iron Man faster than anyone ever did.
I can't jump over a tall building.
But that is not a reductio ad absurdum to the real point.
Because the point is not about physical limits and you damn well know it.
When did you ever say "I can't jump over a tall building" until today ?
You are just looking to argue your way out of hearing the truth about how we all speak all the time.
And the truth about who we really are.
The point is about being a lion, not a victim.
We all have amazing ability.
We all have dreams.
We all have a "real me" hidden behind the bullshitting victim that other "me" is trying so hard to cling on to.
We can all be decisive and take ownership for whatever action we choose to go out and get.
We can all dare to announce to the world the limits we choose to place on ourselves.
And we can all believe in and be willing to be who we really are and do what we really want.
Sometimes I don't want to.
And that's OK.
But I always can.
And that's the amazing truth about us all.
Speaking the truth with non-violent communication
The following is a collection of phrases that I regularly think, say myself or hear other people saying. Some seem positive and some seem negative. But none of them are true.
Understanding this and practicing the habit of speaking the truth results from my learning about non-violent communication. Sometimes non-violent communication is about respect towards others and sometimes it is about self-respect. It seems helpful to me because I can more easily share opinions with others, being more open-minded and leaving room for dialogue in place of conflict. When I practice non-violent communication with myself, I feel more self-aware and more confident.
I say: I have to write that report this evening
How many times have I thought and said such a phrase? The problem here is that such obligations don't exist. No-one has a gun to my head and I am free to choose the consequences of not meeting the deadline. When I hold myself to such obligations, I am denying my own ability to choose what seems right to me. And when I use this as an excuse to stay home instead of having dinner with friends, I am being dishonest about my preferences.
I prefer to say: A deadline was set for the end of the day and I would prefer to write this report to achieve that deadline
I say: I'm no good at playing the piano
Sticking labels on myself and my incompetence doesn't make me feel good about myself. If I can't play the piano at all today, it might seem fair enough to say I have a limited ability to play the piano. But when I judge that limited ability as "bad" I am holding myself to a standard which I value and then labelling myself as sub-standard. In my head, I create a self-image of someone hopeless.
I prefer to say: At the moment, I can't play the piano to the standard I would like
Or: I can currently make sounds with a piano that do not correspond to the first graded level of piano playing
I say: That's ridiculous!
..and I wish I could stop saying this! Sometimes it goes so quickly: Someone shares their ideas on things and in a flash before I can even stop myself, I pronounce these words, as if I was the holder of all the answers, the one who knows everything about everything. This kind of language is oppressive and impolite at the worst. At the very least, it translates as "What you say is stupid" and therefore doesn't seem a nice thing to say.
I prefer to say: I don't agree with your idea. It doesn't fit with my way of seeing things.
Or: Given the information we have and my own vision and knowledge of the topic, I don't see how that can work.
I say: She made me really angry
No she didn't. She did something and I was angry. Anger is not something someone else can cause in me. To make such a statement is to deny the boundaries of responsibility when it comes to feelings. My anger is mine. Her (in)actions or words are hers. Changing this phrase to the preferred statement (below) helps me to take more responsibility for my anger and also to question which values and goals I have that are not in-line with the actions of the other person.
I prefer to say: She did XYZ and I feel angry
I say: It's a beautiful day
Seems fair, right? But the truth is only that there are no clouds in the sky and the sun is shining with more heat than it was yesterday. It is also true that I like that kind of weather. But when I name things as "beautiful" I am imposing my vision of the world onto reality. Does this make it true? If I can imagine anyone having a different opinion (agricultural industry? not enough rain?) this should be enough for me to recognise that my words are no more than personal opinion.
I prefer to say: I like the weather today
All of the preferred statements above are attempts to use non-violent communication. For the purpose of this blog, I would define "violent communication" as any speech that mixes up (my) perception with (the) factual reality and imposes the former onto other people. When I push my vision of things on other people, it is not respectful to our differences or potential difference of opinions. It is a form of verbal aggression which can lead to confusion, conflict, loss of dialogue and even sadness and bitterness.
For example, telling my children they are being "bad girls" or that they "can't do that" are simple everyday examples of violent communication that seek to impose my values onto them and to bend them to my will. As a parent, I might find it best that I decide for my children what they can and cannot do and I might even want to impose that on them. But when I present my ideas to them as the truth about "good" and "bad", "allowed" and "not allowed", my communication is violent: It imposes my vision of reality onto them in a non-respectful way. This particularly worries me since I know that my kids are like little sponges soaking up everything Daddy says for the future. If I can learn to instead say that "I don't like what you are doing" or "In my house, I want you to follow my rules" this is much closer to the truth. It will open the dialogue with my children towards mutual understanding of what we all (don't) like and or (don't) want. And I leave them free to form their own opinion.
Outside of family life, the same idea is valid in many environments. I might argue that something is "not fair" when I really mean to say that "I don't feel comfortable with it" or "I'd like to find other solutions where I get more of what I want". I might say "You're performance is unacceptable" when a non-violent version would say "I expected you to achieve XYZ and you haven't so I am not satisfied". I might say "You're disturbing me" when the truth is that "I'm working on something now and I don't want to talk'.
When we use non-violent communication, we respect the rights of other people to think differently and (importantly) we give them an open-door to reply with their own vision of things. We state things as they truly are and not only as we see them.
If you are in the business of oppression and control, stay violent. But if you want respectful communication and the possibility of dialogue that leads to sharing and deeper mutual understanding , go non-violent.

A 5-step process for handing-over work to other people
We all have things to do. Some of us have lists and lists of things to do. But that doesn't mean everything on the list should be done by us, ourselves, alone. Before you take any action, slow down, look at your to-do list, and consider the following process for handing-over work to other people…
STEP ONE: Figure out what is for you and what is not… Ask 3 questions
What must I do myself?
- These are the things that it would be wrong to give to anyone-else. This is your core functional and personal business. You can't hand-over a personal medical check-up to someone else and you shouldn't be handing over strategic decision making either.
What could I give to someone else?
- Strictly speaking, this is everything left over after the first question. But its worth asking again as it gets you thinking about why you could hand it over. Sure, I like the grass to be cut in nice straight lines and sure I enjoy making that report, but I certainly could ask someone else to do these things.
What should I give to someone else?
- Depending on your vision of work, your answers may vary. If you are the "Tim Ferris type" you might think that everything that could be handed-over should be handed-over. If you are feeling guilty about workload, you might feel that you should be doing it all yourself. This question is about the reasons why handing-over work could be the best thing for you, for others and for the organisation. Of all the things you could hand-over to others, what things should you give away so you can focus on bringing more value to the organisation? What jobs will give someone else the opportunity to grow and bring more value to the organisation?
Possibly, as you tried to answer these questions, you were thinking: "But there is no-one else!" and so the answers went as follows: Everything, nothing, not-applicable.
To really use this process, you need to forget all of this during step one and just move forward. Imagine a perfect world where you were surrounded with opportunities to hand-over work. Now go back and answer the questions!
STEP TWO: For whatever tasks you have decided should be handed-over to someone else, define the competence required for the job
Now you have listed tasks/jobs that you ought to give to someone else, answer the following 3 questions for each of them:
- What knowledge is required to do this job?
- What skills are required to do this job?
- What attitude is required to do this job?
This step is all about defining requirements for the job. There may be other requirements like time, resources, specific environmental requirements… but right now, we are trying to imagine what competence someone would display in doing the job. Don't worry yet about who does or does not have this knowledge, skill or attitude. Just name it.
STEP THREE: Think about the right people for the work
This is usually the point where people say again "But there is no-one!". And telling you again to "imagine a perfect world" is too much to handle. So let's get realistic about people with the following 5 questions. Answer them as they appear. Don't get stuck on asking whether those people want to do the work or not…
- Of the people who work for you, who could be good for this job and why?
- Of the people in your immediate surroundings, team or department, who could be good for this job and why?
- Of people in any part of your organisation, who could be good for this and why?
- Of anyone else you know outside the organisation, who could be good for this and why? (yes, ANYone!)
- Of anyone anywhere currently unknown (!?) who could be good for this and why?
Reading these questions, some people will find them ridiculous. But taking the time to ANSWER them often provides new insight. You might realise that this thing should never have been on your to-do list in the first place. Or that its time to recruit. Or that you have a bigger network than you thought. Or that your lower-level tasks can actually be awesome motivating work for someone else…
STEP FOUR: Take care before you take action
If by now you are ready to hand-over work to someone, just take a moment to define the risks associated with that:
- How could this all go wrong? How likely is it that it will go wrong?
- What will be the impact of this work not being done well?
Be careful with these questions. If you are into controlling everything or worried about letting people down, its very easy at this point to just think: "The risk is too high – I'd better do it myself". But by now you should have realised that doing everything yourself is not the best solution ..or simply not possible.
STEP FIVE: Hand-over the work in the right way
Now it is time to actually give this work to someone else, take one last moment to consider the following 3 questions:
- When is the right time to hand-over this work?
- What support do you need to help you get the support you need?
- How will you communicate the job hand-over?
- How will you follow up on the work?
If you have followed the 5-steps and actually answered all the questions above, you might have realised a few things about yourself, the people you work with or your organisation. You might even be ready to hand-over some work.
Good luck!
Creating customer delight
In December last year, I delivered some training in Poland for the European Graduate Programme of one of my clients. Arriving at the hotel after a stupidly long-day of airports and travel, I discovered 2 things: The hotel had a spa with pool and I really should have packed my swimming trunks 😦
I asked if the hotel could give me some (clean) trunks from lost-property. With a big smile and much sympathy, the lady at reception told me they could not. But she did offer to arrange a taxi to a large shopping centre just down the road. Already tired, hungry and not motivated, I declined and added: "It doesn't matter. It's not a problem."
At that very moment, the hotel general manager had just arrived. He asked "Is everything OK?" and I told him that everything was perfect, I was just disappointed not to profit from the pool at the end of a long day. He looked me straight in the eyes and said: "I will go to the shop and buy you some trunks. What size would you like?"
As a polite English man, I felt this was too much to ask and replied that it was OK, not necessary. Again, he looked me straight in the eye and added "I want to help you and I would like you to be able to really profit from our hotel. Please, let me go."
And he did.
While he was gone, I ate a great Indian room-service meal and wondered how I would deal with paying for the trunks, whilst not having it on the hotel invoice I would be sending my client and accountant.
45 minutes later, a knock came at the door and a smiley face gave me a package: Wrapped in Christmas paper were my new Adidas swimming trunks with a note that they were offered with the compliments of the hotel and wishing me a good stay.
In this example, the service was amazing. Conscious of my situation, the hotel went way beyond the standard to satisfy my needs. Since that day, I have been telling everyone about this hotel, posting videos and comments on their Facebook page with my great review.
Of course, not everyone can give their time (or swimming trunks) for free. And customer delight doesn't necessarily come from giving (in) to everything your customer asks. But if you are in the business of serving clients, there is surely something to be learnt here: Whatever your work and whomever your client, are you (not) delivering against expectations or are you creating delight and loyalty with real care, long-term relationships and results?
ps – when I went back to that hotel last month, I found an inflatable swimming pool ring and arm-bands waiting on my bed 🙂
The depressed inventor
The depressed inventor hadn't always been depressed.
For most of his life he had been really happy.
As a little boy, he loved to invent clever ways to fix problems. Once he invented a cat flap to feed the family cat when she came home in the morning. And to get to school more quickly, he invented a really big catapult to throw him from his house to the school yard (although Mummy said "No" to that one).
For every problem, he invented a solution.
And that pleased him very much for many years.
Until the day he ran out of problems to solve.
At first, he thought it would be a good moment to take a holiday. Surely when he came back, he would find lots of new things to invent?
But when he got home, he still couldn't find anything to work on.
Until he had an idea: He would invent a problem!
For days and days, he worked very hard at inventing his problem.
No time to eat, no time to sleep. So much work to be done!
Finally, he was satisfied: He had a problem to solve!
So he set to work to invent a solution.
No time to eat, no time to sleep. So much work to be done!
He read lots of books and talked to lots of people. He made lots of notes and did lots of sums.
But after lots of time, he still hadn't invented a solution.
And so he started to get sad. And sadder still. And sadder still, under he was completely depressed.
For the first time in his life, he didn't know what to do.
So he went to bed and slept. And slept. And slept some more.
After a few weeks, the doorbell rang.
The depressed inventor dragged himself downstairs.
At the door stood Benny the Baker, who wanted to know why he hadn't come to buy any bread for so long. And his little girl Jenny, who asked "Why do you look so sad?"
So the depressed inventor explained. He told Jenny how he loved to invent things to fix problems and how he had always worked hard to make everything work just so. When he told her how he had run out of problems, little Jenny started to smile.
As he started to explain how he had invented a problem, little Jenny started to giggle.
And when he said he was sad because he couldn't invent anything to fix his problem, she just burst into laughter!
The depressed inventor looked at Jenny all seriously and asked: "What's so funny?"
And so little Jenny told him:
"It's so silly. You can't fix your problem because you just made it up! And the more you work on it, the worse it gets. But it doesn't even exist, because you just made it up! Your problem is that you had no problems and made up a problem so now you have a real problem because you can't solve your problem. But there's still no problem. It's so silly!"
All at once, the depressed inventor understood.
Little Jenny was right.
And he started to smile again as he remembered he had made up his own problem.
And that's not really a problem at all !
No more self-employed lazy guilt
As a self-employed person, I have a tendency to work, work, work. But right now, it's 9.15am and I still haven't "done anything". Is this bad?
Well, first of all: It is not true. Having gotten up at 6.30, I packed my kids off to school, spent 45 minutes exercising and have since been reading "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel whilst eating a healthy breakfast that I enjoyed taking the time to prepare. So I have done something.
But let's pretend that I had just rolled over in bed, left the family to it and done nothing but sleep. Yesterday, I only did a 2-hour coaching session and I just spent all of July and August on holiday. That doesn't sound like doing much. Is that OK? Is that what self-employed people do?
Last week, I read an article about the morning rituals of awesome entrepreneurs like Jack Dorsey or Mr Branson. Up at 5.30. Sport. Meditation. Family etc.. Inspired by that this morning, I thought I should probably now sit down and seriously meditate on my top 3 priority business objectives for the day, week and year to come. I should make plans for new services or products, improved efficiency and more profit. That's what successful business types do in the morning, right?
But quite frankly, I can't be bothered. I don't need to do anything. Tomorrow and Friday I'll be delivering training all day, my revenue-winning calendar is as fully-booked as I'd like it to be and I don't have anything hanging over my head. Except the "self-employed-lazy-guilt", that is.
And then the phone rings. Is it a new client calling to ask me if I'm available for training next Wednesday? What will I say? Strictly speaking, I'll only be lazing around doing nothing but fuelling my own pleasure. Will I be able to say "No"? Can I tell the truth? Or should I say I'm fully-booked? What if he takes a day off himself and sees me at the cinema at 11am? Or running in the park? Where will I hide?
Or maybe it's my mother, calling to tell me I'm a lazy freelancer and I can't possibly expect to be successful if I just hang-around doing nothing when work could be done. "Everybody has to work". "You can't expect to just take random days off in the week. Your father could never do that." Or even worse: "Don't say 'No' to work now. You never know if you'll still have more next year. You're lucky people ask you. You should say 'Yes'."
Fortunately, it's an unknown number. The stuff of voicemail. I don't answer it. Today, I am calling all the shots. As I was promised when I read "Freelancing for Dummies" all those years ago, it would be great if I could do whatever I want whenever I want. If I chose to work for myself, it's because I thought I could be a better boss to myself than anyone else. Well, I want a boss who loves my happiness more than the cash, productive hours or time-filling. Who is happy with achieving targets and going home early. Correction: Who doesn't even call it "early" because that implies some form of 9-to-5 ritual just for the sake of it.
For the new season ahead, my boss is going to tell me take it as easy as possible. "The clients are satisfied and so should you be. And even if they aren't, you can't please everyone all the time." Relax. It's not lazy. It's awesomely efficient, minimum effective dose. It's long-term sustainable, more rounded and balanced. You deserve it. Not because you worked so hard before, but just because you deserve it. Full stop.
So go lay on the grass for a while..
Super Dad inspires again !
When I was a boy my Dad was amazing.
At the end of a long day somewhere, as I would drift in-and-out of consciousness in the back seat, he would pilot the car home. I was unaware at the time as to what he was really doing. He was simply an amazing Dad who could drive. When we got home, he was use his super-Dad powers to scoop my 20 kilograms of dead weight into his arms and take me to bed, somehow magically getting me into my pyjamas without waking me up.
Between October and December, he would crack nuts, using only a nutcracker and his super-Dad strength. I couldn't do this.
At the weekend or some evenings, he would magically remember all the things he needed to do to make spaghetti bolognese, which everyone would agree was brilliant.
And he had a great collection of music. Loads of different stuff. He introduced me to James Taylor, Kris Kristofferson, ELO and god only knows what else. He was even the first person I knew to dig Nirvana.
Today, I am a Dad.
I drive a car, carry my kids to bed and introduce them to music. I still don't crack nuts. But I can. Because I am amazing and I have super-Dad powers.
It would be easy therefore to think that my Dad was actually just normal. Just bigger and further on in life. But that's not the point.
The point is that the little things we take for granted as adults continue to amaze and inspire our kids, and to affect their future.
I still make spaghetti bolognese like my Dad told me to and I can see the awe in the eyes of my girls when I do these normal things and they see super-powers.
And the same is true for the not so cool things. I don't really remember what they were with my Dad, but it stands to reason that if all these other things were blown up into super proportion, then the not-so-good things were too. So what do my girls think when I am tired and miserable, impatient and angry?
And the inspiring never ends.
When I see my Dad today, I see someone who has understood what is important and what is not. Who has stopped running around and no longer does the things he doesn't want to. I see a man who got his shit together to retire at 50. Who can build a pond or a vegetable patch or fix a motorbike. He still has super-powers and I still want to be like him.
So, I guess that whatever I am doing on Father's Day, the point is the same: For better or worse, I am inspiring my kids.
All Dads are.
Make it count.
Good luck!
Days 3 + 4 at ATD2015
Back in Belgium, here is a mini-summary of the last 2 days of ATD2015, which thanks to Harry Potter and Lufthansa, could not be delivered earlier…
Day 3
- Like Ken Robinson in 2013, Sugata Mitra reminded us of the important truth that we are all born learners and that we need to let learning happen, not make it happen
- David Rock explained the neuroscience of why I don't believe a word anyone says unless they are just like me. Didn't believe him 🙂
- Met the most fabulously gorgeous pair of the conference during lunch, Mel and Will, accompanied by a slightly less gorgeous but nonetheless 129% awesome Don Taylor (who, for the record, was in disguise)
- Got some good simple tricks for contextful learning in one session in the afternoon and won a book prize during the session on Infographics for drawing this (!)
- Had a real adventure in Universal Harry Potter land (watch the video!) catching with Trish Uhl, abusing Alywn Klein with my Lethal Weapon 2 South African accent, watching learning geeks like David Kelly take pictures of a dragon and spending some good times with my new French friends Valerie-Ann (E-Doceo) et al..
- Back to the hotel at 1am, I made the mistake of thanking all those lovely session #M101 attendees who tweeted praise for my session.. bed at 3
Day 4
- Despite my good intentions to find out what WordPress has to offer for trainers, I skipped the 8.15am session I had planned for an extra 90 minutes in bed
- Finally caught up with JD Dillon to follow his session on how Kaplan has turned users into contributors
- Interviewed by ATD-TV on social media for formal learning
- Had lunch in the expo, discussing the "Jack Reacher" dream, carrying the minimum-effective-dose of training materials and turning around people's attitudes during training
- Bumped into Paul Meshanko and Todd Costello to muse over the finer points of respect, marriage, happiness, business development and work:life balance
- Followed a most excellent session with Brian Melven on visual storytelling and learnt got a simple process and lots of resources to turn boring learning materials into comic-style awesomeness (see my first example here)
- …and tried my first Nutshell video, discovered via Rick Lozano and featuring Eric Van Kamp
- Sat with JD for the closing keynote: Erik Wahl making amazing paintings of Bono (picture) and Steve Jobs (picture) in a matter of minutes, whilst explaining how we need to let go of our fear and get out there!
- Unlike some of my colleagues, I didn't rush off to the airport, but went for a swim before the long ride home
- …driving the bus back, of course 🙂
- Had a really nice catch up at the airport with Yves Plees of SWIFT
- Slept 3 hours on the plane 🙂
…and that's pretty much it. Another year of ATD conference fun over 😦
It was really great!
Thanks for reading

A charity is warning of fraudulent collections after discovering its logo is being used on unauthorised clothes recycling bags.
Meningitis Now is aware of collections taking place in parts of Scotland – and is urging the public not to make donations in this way.
The bags are designed for people to donate their unwanted clothes, shoes, and other items, which are then collected at the roadside, often to raise money for charity.
However, Meningitis Now does not raise funds through schemes such as these, and there is no agreement in place with any company to collect unwanted goods on its behalf.
It says it is not the only charity affected by this, as its logo sits alongside other charities on the fraudulent bags, including bibic, which supports children and young people with disabilities and learning difficulties.
Stephen Service, policy manager at the Fundraising Regulator, said: "While many clothing collections are legitimate, charity bag fraud is an increasingly common problem which makes victims of donors and charities alike. If in doubt, check with your local council directly before you give to ensure the collection is licensed."
Dr Tom Nutt, CEO at Meningitis Now, said: "Sadly, this is an issue that affects the wider charity sector, not just Meningitis Now.
"Charities rely on the generosity of public donations to help keep vital services running – at Meningitis Now this means ensuring that everyone affected by meningitis gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.
"I would like to make it clear that these bags are fraudulent and nothing to do with Meningitis Now. Please do not make any donations in this way.
"We are working together with other charities and the charity regulator to minimise the impact that this type of behaviour has on the charity sector as a whole."
Lynda Williams, CEO at bibic, added: "We are extremely disappointed to learn of the continued fraudulent use of the bibic brand.
"To falsely claim to be changing the lives of children with disabilities and learning difficulties is disgraceful, and I urge anyone that receives a bag purporting to support bibic and Meningitis Now to follow the advice from the fundraising regulator."
Anyone with any doubts about the use of the Meningitis Now logo can check with the charity by call 01453 768000, or via its Facebook page
The charity would also like to remind its generous supporters that there are other, safer ways, to make donations, in particular via the Meningitis Now website
For more information about bibic visit the website bibic website or call 01458 253344.

NORWICH � Two competing entities are vying for state approval to construct a medical marijuana production facility in the Norwich business park � a move that Mayor Peter Nystrom and other top city economic development officials are embracing.
Bloomfield-based Nascent Sciences and David Kimmel of Montebello, N.Y. have applied for one of a handful of production licenses expected to be approved by state regulators in the coming months.
Both applicants want to open in the former Decorative Screen Printers building at 9 Wisconsin Ave.
In one of his final public acts as mayor, Nystrom said getting behind the program could put the city into an elite position.
�I feel Norwich will benefit from being a leader in a new and expanding industry that can help so many,� Nystrom said. �The issue of whether it�s legal or not, they addressed it. Licenses are going to be granted and if it�s going to bring revenue and jobs, there�s no reason we shouldn�t support it.�
In May 2012, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed into law House Bill 5389, which authorized the use of medical marijuana for specific medical conditions, but limited the number of producers to between 3 and 10.
In documents released publicly on Monday, Nystrom revealed that four separate proposals for production facilities arrived at his City Hall office, and two ended up moving forward with the application process.
Nystrom said the city�s strong police force and the ability of Norwich Public Utilities to handle the infrastructure needs for marijuana producers make the city a strong candidate.
�We have the best position in the state in my opinion to be able to safely help with this new industry � Uninterrupted power is a necessity for this type of plant, and we are able to respond in a very timely manner in power outages,� he said. �In addition to NPU and because of our actions in the past few years, our police force is at or near full staffing and they will be able to aid in this manner.�
According to at least one estimate provided by Nystrom, such an operation could bring more than a million dollars in revenues from new utility sales.
Jason Vincent, vice president of Norwich Community Development Corp., echoed Nystrom.
�We�re very hopeful Norwich can position itself to be on the front end of the curve,� he said.

I have for you two speco treats for all you lovers of the 'for kids' lessons. Today is the day that I finally show you all how to draw a hummingbird, step by step. This is such an awesome tutorial to tackle because it is super-duper easy. Hummingbirds are one of the most interesting summer birds to watch as they come around looking for nectar that is left out for them. My mother absolutely loves watching all different colored hummingbirds that come around sniffing for something sweet to eat. They are such a trip to watch, and sometimes they will fly right by your head. You know these birds are around when you hear a really loud noise that sounds like an oversized bumble bee fly by your ear. This is going to be a lesson from the side profile of the bird, and you should be able to tackle it with ease. Let me know if this tutorial helped you draw a humming bird. I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun so try to stick around even though it's Friday. Peace people and enjoy.

Two Metro Vancouver tech workers have launched a Google-inspired commuter bus club that's turning their daily journey from Surrey into working hours on a deluxe coach complete with coffee service, wireless Internet and all the perks of a mobile office.
Chris Geoghegan and Darian Kovacs, founders of Pacific Commuter, were inspired to create the deluxe commuting club by the Google bus — Google's own shuttle service to its Mountain View headquarters ferries 3,500 employees to work every day in leather-seated, wirelessly connected comfort.
"This is a business we started out of frustration," said Kovacs, who works in the same Coal Harbour office as Geoghegan. "Chris has young children, I have a five-year-old son, we'd like to spend more time with our families.
"I usually leave home at 6:45 in the morning to get to work for 8:30 and I try to leave around 5:30 and I get home at 7 or 7:15. Our kids are in bed by 8 o'clock so it's a bummer.
"We wanted to use that commuting time to get work done so we could spend more time at home."
The service, which starts a three-month pilot Tuesday, will pick up commuters in the morning starting with a 7:25 a.m. stop in Langley then make stops in Surrey, arriving at the Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver at 8:35 with a couple of other stops downtown.
Rather than jostling for a seat on crowded transit trains or buses, or driving in traffic, the commuters will cruise along in reclining leather seats, sipping lattes and working on desktops that flip down in front of each seat. The bathroom counter is marble-topped, there are 11 screens for overhead movie viewing, a kitchenette and a quiet area for making phone calls.
The bus leaves Vancouver just after 5 p.m., reaching its last stop in Langley close to 6:30. Commuters can bring their bikes with them and the commuter club's annual fee includes a Car2Go membership and a 30-minute credit in the short-hop car-sharing service.
So far 14 commuters have signed up for the club; with 42 seats on the bus, Kovacs said 35 members would be considered enough to make the project succeed.
"We have three months to test it," he said. "Our goal is to have 35 people by Oct. 1 but we expect we'll have more than that and we hope to have two or three buses going by the fall.
"As new members come on we'll add different pickup times and different locations."
Kovacs and Geoghegan figured if they could turn their commuting time into part of their working day, they'd have more time at home.
Already Geoghegan is reaching his goal — his boss told him if he works during his commute, adding an extra two hours to his working day from Monday to Thursday, he can take Fridays off to be home with his kids.
"Everyone is happy," said Kovacs. "It's great for reducing stress and it's great for the environment."
At a monthly membership fee of $495 or $395 paid annually, the Pacific Commuter isn't aimed at transit users, who typically pay $151 for a regular adult monthly transit pass that would enable travel from Surrey and Langley to Vancouver.
Instead, Geoghegan and Kovacs are hoping to get people out of their cars — a more expensive commute that can cost more than $500 a month by the time you take into account the cost of rising gas prices and parking.
Added to that is the stress of commuting.
"I can't get any work done on transit so it's just wasted time for me," said Kovacs. "On the bus I can work on my computer, I can make business calls because there's a quiet spot for phoning.
"People who can bill for their time can get in extra working hours."
Kovacs said the commuter club is attracting Web developers, accountants, lawyers — anyone who can work as long as they have a computer and an Internet connection.
Some commuters who don't need to be in Vancouver five days a week are opting to share memberships, a preference Kovacs said Pacific Commuter may recognize with part-time membership fees.
"Human resources departments are going crazy over this," said Kovacs. "They're looking at buying packages of six to 20 for their employees. We'll give special rates for that as well."
Geoghegan and Kovacs contacted Google to tell the Silicon Valley company its employee buses inspired them to launch the Pacific Commuter club.
"They were like — it sounds awesome, keep up the good work," said Kovacs.
Kovacs said the bus is chartered by the commuter club just as people hire limos or buses for graduations or other special events.

How many airbags can car manufacturers stuff into their vehicles? Trick question! When it comes to my safety during rare automobile accident, the only correct answer is "whatever it takes to produce an impervious airbag marshmallow around my person."
This latest airbag design manages to fit some extra protection into the driver side seat itself by way of a bulbous tongue-looking thing that bursts out the side and up in the event of an accident.
The design is a specialize one, meant to protect heads during especially deadly "t-bone" collisions when the impact arrives on the side opposite the driver. These accidents account for about 11% of accident fatalities and, while rare like the rollover, are targeted by this airbag's tubular, driver seat-mounted design.
The airbag took about three of research in the GM labs and should begin to appear in select SUV trucks in 2013. [GM via DVICE]

Head in the Clouds
Nearly everyone in software development has been aware of the year-long discussion of the "cloud." The ill-defined term originally meant a pool of hardware computing resources from which systems could be quickly provisioned and torn down. Scalability testing would be a perfect use of the cloud, as would be hosting a website that suffers sudden spikes in traffic. Today, though, even this definition is evolving, and the cloud increasingly refers to an offsite hosting platform that has flexible deployment characteristics. That is, companies are increasingly examining and adopting the cloud as a place to host applications and data. Some of the clouds are private (so, within the firewall), others are public.
So far, so good. The problem developers face is that programming for the cloud, especially public clouds, is no simple task. The main providers of cloud services — Amazon EC2, Google App Engine (GAE), and Microsoft Azure — all use different, proprietary APIs that tie applications fairly tightly to the cloud platform. In most cases, the principal hooks that block migration are the database APIs. Amazon and GAE both use highly distributed data stores, which have different architectures and distinctly different APIs. Microsoft offers modified versions of its SQL Server for a fee in its cloud instances.
The programming issues extend beyond databases, however. GAE, for example, supports Java, but not the full set of standard Java libraries. If your application relies on a JAR file that's not on Google's white list, your app won't run. Similarly, if you use Python on GAE, you'll be locked into a fairly old implementation of the language. Many of the recent improvements made in Python will be off limits.
As developers, we could abide these problems if the information on how to deal with the APIs and cloud-specific issues were widely available. But it's not. There are precious few books on the topic (a situation I am sure will change) and much of the knowledge currently seems to be part of an oral tradition that is captured in bits and pieces in blogs and in forums.
At Dr. Dobb's, we are convinced that the cloud is fast becoming a game-changer in the way IT functions. In fact, we expect its effects will be felt way beyond IT: scientific computing and possibly even consumer-level computing are likely to find the cloud an agreeable home.
Because of this view, you'll start to see more coverage of the cloud in Dr. Dobb's. Next week, we'll run the first installment of a series of how-to articles that target the GAE. Also, on April 14th, we're presenting a half-day virtual event consisting of multiple webinars about developing for the cloud. We'll have presentations on the GAE and Microsoft Azure as development targets; and we'll also offer a session on doing testing and continuous integration in the cloud. Attendance at these webinars is free. Details will appear shortly on our site.
As we continue to poke our heads into the clouds, we hope you'll send us your feedback and thoughts and let us know how we can best align our coverage with your needs.

Lighter, bubblier massage.
Air, like water, can be used for therapeutic massage. Arctic Spas offers an available therapy air package on all spas for frothy fun. We start with a powerful air blower that forces air out of multiple air jets throughout the spa for a gentle, bubbling massage that makes you tingle from head to toe.
Your Therapy Air System can provide year round comfort. Unlike most other spas that draw cold air from the outside, Arctic Spas Therapy Air draws warm air from the heated air space under the spa, providing a warm and comfortable massage even in cooler weather. And in the summer, the use of an optional Louvered Door with your Therapy Air system will help keep the water refreshingly cool.
Get the best of both worlds with Therapy Air.

The building had been owned by Daytop Village, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that purchased the building in 1973 from the Overseas Press Club for $850,000, according to a New York Times article dated January 3, 1973. Daytop Village has relocated just down the street to the Spring Mill Building at 104 W. 40th Street.
Allied Partners, a New York City-based real estate investment and management firm, owns several buildings in the area, and we congratulate the company on its newest asset.

In many low-wage jobs, breaks are built-in requirements; if you work in retail, fast food, or at a big box store, there are mandatory breaks — and this is because even large companies (that often don't even pay their workers a living wage) know that to do our best work, we all need mental and physical breaks, even if just for a few minutes. The same is true for high-paying and stressful gigs: Airline pilots, surgeons and big-rig drivers are closely monitored to ensure they have plenty of time off from work.
The rest of us? Not so much.
But breaks are really important. And I'm talking about get-up-from-your-desk, walk-around or stare-out-the-window breaks, not Facebooking or answering a personal email. Because, it turns out that breaks are very beneficial to productivity, overall mental happiness, and even brain health.
Because you know who takes the most breaks of all? The highest achievers, from Albert Einstein, to Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet. Cerebral congestion is a real thing (more on the data behind this idea in this great Scientific American article), and it's affecting us all, since our brains need downtime to process, sort and organize the massive amount of information many of us take in every day. Meditation can help, but breaks during the day are important too.
So if you are currently on a "I eat at my desk and go from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on devices, working" kind of person, here's how you can realistically work breaks in — and avoid burnout, which is the inevitable result of too much brain on-time.
When: If you have a regular work schedule, you can schedule breaks at similar times every day (which will, in a few weeks, then become a habit); start with three, which is doable. I find myself getting overwhelmed in the afternoon, so I take one in the morning, and two in the afternoons. Set your phone or computer alarm, and when it goes off, unless there's something truly pressing or an emergency of sorts, get up and move away from your desk or workstation.
If you have a changeable workday, take a moment in the morning to schedule the alarm on your phone for three random times throughout the day (obviously not when you have a meeting or a call). OK, so you might miss one; it's bound to happen — but that leaves two other times, each day, every day, to get up and take five or 10 minutes for yourself.
How: If you can walk outside and take some air, do so. Or find your way to a window. Just stare off into the distance (which will give your eyes a needed break of their own), and observe the light. Think about what you are grateful for. Daydream. Take some deep belly breaths, or just clear your mind for a few minutes. Maybe do some side stretches or walk for a couple of minutes. Two five- to 10-minute breaks that encompass all or some of these tactics can do a world of good, giving your brain some off time to recover and decompress.
Results: In a few days, you should start to notice your stress levels decrease a bit, and also your productivity and creativity increase. When the brain is given time off, it can return to task more efficiently. Research also says that you will make more ethical decisions, and better ones, since your brain will have incubation time, which allows you to be a smarter dot-connector.
And of course, naps are another great way to give your brain a break!

I have a sample of ~700 animal locations that I will be using for habitat selection analysis. I am trying to figure out a way to subsample my locations in a way that will maximize my sample size for analysis, but minimize spatial autocorrelation. I envision taking a subsample of the points such that no point is within X distance (the distance at which autocorrelation is no longer a problem) of another. I don't necessarily need to select the "maximum" number of points, it is more of a conceptual problem of balancing sample size with autocorrelation. Is there a way to do this in ArcGIS 10? The images below show the type of data and spatial clustering I am working with. The autocorrelation distance is roughly equal to that of the gray buffer (570 m), so subsampling based on that will severely limit my sample size. Is there a better approach that I am not thinking of?
Thanks for any input!

Testing has been a part of learning and the exchange of knowledge forever. Interestingly, we often learn best from our mistakes. These errors quickly identify what we don't know and what requires more time, attention, and effort to master. That reality, coupled with the breadth of information that can be accessed and delivered via the Internet, led to the development of Learning Exams by Neu Academic.
A Learning Exam starts like any other test. The exam creator – typically an educator, knowledge expert, or subject enthusiast – composes questions that are used to assess understanding, and defines the correct answer. Utilizing instant feedback offered by Internet, any taker of a Learning Exam can immediately identify their mistakes or knowledge gaps. Neu Academic makes this process even more powerful by facilitating multi-level answers in short and detailed formats. The detailed format offers a complete learning opportunity, made possible by the features and capabilities of the web.
Because feedback is immediate, takers of a Learning Exam can focus on their errors, when they are most familiar with the material and receptive to learning. The detailed answer explanations - which might include video, audio, image, text, and web resources – can then be used to overcome a lack of understanding. The benefits are not just limited to the test taker. The creator of a Learning Exam can use the results to identify areas that might require more explanation, or teaching attention, or even a different teaching approach. The immediacy and the presentation of test results allows exam creators to provide a more effective and successful learning environment.
The founders of Neu Academic have been involved with web-based learning for the past 15 years. They have backgrounds in technology, design, finance, marketing, and, of course, education. While a lot has changed over this period, the idea that we can learn from our mistakes remains as true as ever. The advantages of the web simply make it easier to do so for those that teach or convey knowledge, and those that learn or need to confirm their understanding of what's being taught. Please let us know what you think of the Neu Academic experience.
Thank you. You're good to go.

MIAMI (AP) -- With tax filing season heating up, the Internal Revenue Service is mounting an aggressive crackdown against identity theft and tax refund fraud.
Officials said Thursday that a January sweep in 32 states and Puerto Rico identified 389 ID theft suspects, including 109 who were arrested. The number of IRS ID theft investigations tripled in 2012 and is focused on high-risk cities such as Miami, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
In 2012, the IRS says its investigations prevented $20 billion in would-be fraudulent refunds.
Authorities say Florida leads the nation in identity theft complaints at 178 for every 100,000 residents.
Miami U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer says the fraud is spreading in Florida like a virus.

You really want me to remember the many many many wrong predictions you have made on PSD? Well here is one http://forums.prosportsdaily.com/sho...0&postcount=41
Dude do you even watch the Thunder play? Also do you remember in A.I.'s MVP season when many said he was playing out of position? Look at what happened. However I know you're going to come back saying Russell Westbrook isn't A.I. news for you he doesn't have to be if you're going by that premise. You really need to put that crystal ball down because damn near every prediction you make turns out to be wrong.
Did you see me say anything about points? There have been more 7 occasions this season in which Westbrook has led the Thunder in scoring while attempting the same amount or less shots than Kevin Durant. By that notion you'd be saying that Harden is also better than Durant too right. This goes way beyond points, its based on overall performance on both sides of the ball and leadership. Knowing when to step up when your best player isn't playing his best. Westbrook has shown the ability to do that as this season has progressed just as Harden stepped up when Westbrook wasn't at his best.
Are you willing to admit that Russell Westbrook is better than James Harden yet?
Haters gonna hate. I like how Bulls fans keep trolling in your thread, and overrating Rose. They can't stand that Rondo is a better passer, rebounder, defender and WINNER. Coming from a Heat fan.
Your sig is too large. You need to remove the gif or the quotes. Up to you.
I notcied you took that other sig quote down since your Celtics couldn't even make it far enough to be steamrolled by the Bulls.
who do you think they should target for big men? Its obvious they need to limit KG's minutes big time next season, and resigning Green would allow them to give Pierce reduced minutes. What players are you targeting?
I love his loyalty, that is for sure. Man, I forgot he went to Oak Hill, damn. Hey dude, what do you think the C's need to do to be in the conversation next year for a title?
sweeeeeeet. Thanks bro

Tokyo may be a cosmopolitan city, but it's also more than just skyscrapers and shopping districts.
If you're looking for an urban adventure in this bustling region, be ready to set aside a full day or two to travel to the city's outskirts.
With convenient access to trains in the city centre, getting to the suburbs can easily be achieved under two hours.
Fuji Safari Park
Trekking trails in Mount Fuji may only open in mid-July, but the region surrounding Japan's highest snow-capped mountain is accessible throughout the year.
Fuji Safari Park is one attraction families and animal lovers shouldn't miss. Like Japan's famous Nara Deer Park, wildlife like lions, tigers and giraffes are allowed to roam freely here, among the scenic backdrop of Japan's highest mountain.
Visitors can choose to explore the safari on a rented 4WD sports vehicle for 5,000 yen (S$61), a ticketed bus tour, or in their private vehicle. If you're planning to save cost, opt to go in your private car as you would only need to purchase the park admission fees.
Do take note that only the guided tours allow visitors to feed animals from behind the safety of caged vehicles.
The park also includes the Fureai Zone, which visitors can explore on foot and interact with smaller animals like meerkats, red kangaroos and capybaras.

An 81-year-old Florida woman was arrested after authorities say she continued to feed wildlife in violation of a probation order, then fought with a state agent and deputy sheriff as they took her into custody.
The News Sun reports that Mary H. Musselman of Sebring was arrested Wednesday after the agent found trays with bird seed and corn in Musselman's yard.
Musselman was put on probation two weeks ago after being charged with two counts of feeding black bears. A Highlands County judge had ordered her not to put out any food to feed bears or other wildlife for a year.
When the agent with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission visited Musselman's home, the elderly woman greeted her with an expletive-laden tirade and ordered her to "get off the (expletive) property," the paper reported.
"Musselman said once she gets out of jail, if I step foot on her property again she will shoot and kill me," the agent said in her report.
In November of last year, FWC officials reported they euthanized a bear after it was fed by Musselman.

At that time, the already-overcrowded queens community school district 30 was projected to need an additional 99 school seats dentist list; but as of 2018, more have 3,200 new students have come to the neighborhood. It is considered to be the fastest growing community in the country best dental clinic.
The environmental review for downtown brooklyn's 2004 rezoning projected that 979 new apartments would be built by 2013; but as in long island city, the growth has far outpaced projections. Some 3,000 apartments were created by 2013, and by 2018, another 5,000 new housing units had been built, according to the municipal arts society's analysis. Similarly to long island city, 446 new students were expected to enter brooklyn community school district 13, but nearly 4,400 new students ultimately flocked to the neighborhood.
City council members what are dental implants criticized the city's methods tuesday, questioning how CEQR assessments can be relied on for planning purposes if they have a track record of being inaccurate. "how can you expect us to trust your reports when you're not fact-checking or double checking your recommendations?" said rafael salamanca, who represents the south east cosmetic dental surgery bronx and is the chairman of the land use committee. Alarmed council members also blasted the city's lack of reassessing its CEQR projections as "arrogant" "irresponsible," and "cavalier."
"I think this city isn't held accountable and doesn't take responsibility 24 hr emergency dentist for what it gets wrong and I think it's very unlikely that it's going to correct its course by itself," said francisco moya, who represents northern queens and is the chairman of the subcommittee on zoning and franchises. "it seems to me that we're treating new york city dentist office residents in primarily low-income, minority communities as guinea pigs in badly designed experiments."
In 2015, the de blasio administration announced plans to rezone 15 neighborhoods as part of a push urgent care dental to create or preserve 200,000 units of low-income top dental housing. Since then, east new york, downtown far rockaway, east harlem, jerome avenue, and inwood have been rezoned, and the mayor increased his goal to 300,000 units. At the moment, gowanus and bushwick in brooklyn, and the bay street corridor in staten island, are going through the rezoning process dentist dr, with more on the horizon. Fears of displacement and an over burdening of existing infrastructure dominate in each area.
On tuesday, a cadre of city agencies expressed willingness for change but spelled out concerns with the proposed bills.
The department of transportation (DOT) said dental implant specialist it does not believe the studies it would be tasked with carrying out "would effectively inform" updating the CEQR technical manual and stressed that they would be "highly resource intensive," according to naim rasheed, DOT's senior director of traffic engineering and planning.
Similarly, the president and CEO of the school construction authority, lorraine grillo, said "we do not believe CEQR is the appropriate tool to address the concerns" raised in the bill that would prompt school capacity studies.
For its part dental benefits, the department of housing preservation and developed (HPD) noted that "although displacement is an incredibly difficult thing to track and can occur in many forms, HPD is open to evaluating and updating our dental services tactics to address this issue," the agency said in a statement.
OEC generally supports tracking mitigation commitments for land use actions to promote transparency, but also does not believe "CEQR is the appropriate tool to address the universal concerns" raised in the other three bills, said semel. The environmental review process is one dental clinic of many pieces considered by DCP and the city planning commission, amron emphasized, noting that there are myriad factors causing neighborhood change.
"to focus solely on rezoning as the driver of neighborhood change misses the complex reality of new york city's population dynamics, and treats neighborhoods as static places," amron said. "while we take these issues very seriously laser dentistry, addressing them in the context of environmental review is not helpful, as environmental review is not a panacea to address systematic issues."
Rezonings transform nyc neighborhoods—but the city dental implants before and after doesn't meaningfully study their impacts - curbed ny
The city uses an environmental review process dentist that accept medicaid, known as the city environmental quality review (CEQR), to predict how rezonings and other major land use actions will impact neighborhoods. It's used to study changes to neighborhood character, the potential for residential displacement, and strains to existing infrastructure, as well as developing ways to mitigate those impacts.
"we don't then go back and try and figure out whether precisely what we had projected actually comes to be in 10 years, or 15 years, or five 24 hour dentist years," said susan amron, the general counsel at the department of city planning (DCP).
"in fact, there are always unforeseen circumstances, unforeseen influences dental implant tooth that can effect the projections of the future."
Four city council bills would change that by mandating city agencies study impacts— transportation, school capacity, and secondary displacement—and compare those findings with the predictions that were identified in the final environmental review.

Oscars 2012 Articles
2012 Academy Awards (Oscars) hilights, gossip, photos, and video.
Most Oscar Try: Angelina Jolie
FREDERIC J. BROWN/Ethan Miller/Michael Buckner/JOE KLAMAR/Kevin Winter/Getty
I'm in LA with an entire crew of people working in entertainment news. You could say we are professional celebrity watchers. And none of us can remember seeing Angelina Jolie the way she was last night, especially not the Angelina Jolie Full Story
Gwyneth Paltrow: Best at the Oscars 2012
Alexandra Wyman/Michael Buckner/Jeff Vespa/VF12/Kevin Mazur/VF12/FREDERIC J. BROWN/Getty
If you read my site regularly you'll know this isn't the first time I've mentioned my obsession with capes. Here's a recent example. Here's another. So no, this isn't just about my Gwyneth, actually; it's also about the Cape first, and a Cape designed by Tom Ford was the closest we came to a game changer last night at the Oscars. Full Story
Worst Dressed: Melissa McCarthy
Kevork Djansezia/Kevin Winter/Ethan Miller/Michael Buckner/Getty
It pains me to have to say it. But you know that I'm right. I looked at that dress, felt disappointed, and then went back to look at McCarthy's award season to see what I wanted instead. I mean, it's hard to say. All her previous gowns have been a type. A jersey-esque long-sleeve with a v neck in a muted jewel colour. Full Story
Ryan & The Dictator at the Oscars
Ryan Seacrest is so successful because he's the guy who gets it, right? He laughed it off when Simon Cowell mocked him and they became a comic duo. He sees what the world loves in the Kardashians and lovingly exploits their exploits all the way to the bank. He's trusted by all. He laughs in the face of almost everything. Full Story
Jean Dujardin: Best Actor imitating Ian Somerhalder
He's charming, yes. I am happy he won, totally. I love how much he appreciated his moment, 100%. And I know how much you all are into him. So I will apologise in advance. Sorry. But I am over his eyebrows and the eyecock and the face acting silent movie-ing. Because it is annoying. Do you hate me? I don't think you should. Full Story
The Chosen Dress At Oscar: Tina Fey
Kevork Djansezia/Kevin Winter/Ethan Miller/Michael Buckner/Getty
I did something very out of character for me yesterday. Before the show, before all the panic and craziness, I went for a hike. In LA, where people hike. This is not something I undertake all the time. In fact, people who know me and are reading this just spit out whatever beverage they were working on. Full Story
Oscar Party Awkwards: Cruise + Beckham
Pascal Le Segretain/Kevin Winter/ROBYN BECK/Getty
Tom Cruise did not walk the carpet with Katie Holmes. Instead, he went straight inside and presented the final award of the night, a responsibility usually reserved for a big deal name. Thank you Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Tom Cruise keeps hanging in there. You do have to admire his tenacity, don't you? He will never let you push him out. Full Story
Oscar Afterparty Charm: Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt
AFP/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty
I wasn't really worried. Not actually. Maybe just a little bit. Jon Hamm was out a few times this month without Jennifer and I started to get just a little...heightened about the whole thing. As the events grew more and more high-profile, the fact that she was busy working was both completely awesome - they don't have to be together all the time! She doesn't just exist to squire him to things! - and a little angst-making, because there's something about these two that is special to me. Full Story
Oscar Apocalypse
Michael Buckner/Kevin Winter/JOE KLAMAR/Getty
It is surely the apocalypse, because here I sit, in front of pictures of Natalie Portman, and I feel...fine. I have no rants here. Are you still there? I don't know what to say, almost. I like the dress. Not on everyone, not to every event, but it was beautiful vintage Christian Dior, and the delicate polka dots work for me. Full Story
Oscar slumming: Cameron Diaz edition
Ethan Miller/Kevork Djansezian/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Jeff Vespa/VF12/Getty
I'll say this: I really like the Gucci she wore to the show. I walked past her on my way to the press room and the beading on the skirt as she moved was gorgeous. In person Cam really carried this piece beautifully. But I did not enjoy the harsh orange Victoria Beckham she wore for Vanity Fair. Because of her build, on her it just looks like gym attire, especially from the waist up. Full Story
Oscar Slumming: JLo edition
Michael Buckner/Kevin Winter/ROBYN BECK/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty
I didn't hate the silver Zuhair Murad as much as some of you. Having said that...it's Zuhair Murad. So not-hate will never become like or love. My feelings about JLo from last night though aren't focused on her attire.How can they be when there's so much other business to sh-t on. Like the body language she had going on with Cameron Diaz while they were presenting. Full Story
