Respond to Review of CLOSED: Demuths
by Mr Jefferson
Review: I have been to Demuths twice. Both times I left with a smile on my face and a cookbook in my hand (which I have to recommend more highly than the food as I've gotten greater pleasure from trying to recreate the dishes, especially the white choc cheesecake and jerk kebabs!).

BirdLife species factsheet for Dark-rumped Swift Dark-rumped Swift Apus acuticauda is known from just a few breeding colonies in the Himalayan foothills in Bhutan, and the hills of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram, north-east India (BirdLife International 2001, Chantler 2005, Ahmed et al. 2007). There are records throughout the year from India and during the non-breeding season from north-west Thailand and Yunnan, China (J. Hornskov in litt. 2005). It is currently listed as Vulnerable under criterion D1 because it was thought to have a very small population of <1,000 mature individuals. However, recently revised population estimates suggest that the global population of this species numbers 250-999 individuals, based on estimates of breeding colony sizes ranging from a few to 200 individuals. This estimate equates to 167-666 mature individuals, rounded to 150-700 mature individuals. Also, M. F. Ahmed in litt. 2012 advises that if estimates are based on known populations, the total population of this species is unlikely to be higher than 500 individuals. If there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the global population of the Dark-rumped Swift may number <250 mature individuals, it would warrant uplisting to Endangered under criterion D1 of the IUCN Red List. Little is known about this species; in particular, its seasonal movements and wintering areas remain poorly understood. Information is requested on its potential population size, distribution, trends and threats, and any further comments on the proposed uplisting are welcome. References: Ahmed, M.

Last year, I offered my list of the best superhero movies ever made, but I told you everything would change after the parade of superhero films this summer. And change it did! Not only did three excellent superhero movies storm theaters and climb up the list in 2012, but also this year I had a chance to watch most of these films again and reconsider my ranking of them. Several movies climbed up or dropped down the rankings. But remember, even if a film is low on this list, I'm still saying it's one of the twenty greatest superhero movies ever made, so there's no insult involved!
So let's get started, dear readers, with the best comic book superhero movies of all time! We'll count 'em down in reverse this time…
20. Blade II –Before he became a household name with his incredible foreign language film Pan's Labyrinth, director Guillermo del Toro crafted this superhero horror story, and it remains the best of the Blade series. Stylish and featuring excellent (if a bit over the top) choreographed fight sequences, it manages to make you distrust the good guys and feel a bit sorry for the villain.
19. Green Lantern –Despite poor box office performance and critical panning, this was a good Green Lantern film reflecting the Silver Age character, along with influences from modern stories as well. It looked great, had a good lead arc and fine casting choices, and was thoroughly entertaining. I'm still hopeful Warner Bros. will make a sequel (I've even written about how I think they should do it).
18. Spider-Man –This is the movie that really kicked off the modern superhero genre in full force. No other superhero had the power and pull to create the kind of "event" sensation that Spider-Man produced when he finally made it to the big screen in such glorious style. Spidey's huge success instantly confirmed that comic book films would dominate the box office for years to come.
17. The Incredible Hulk –One of the best translations of a superhero to film, in part because it smartly frames itself as a horror movie. After an earlier failed attempt to create a Hulk franchise, this soft reboot still didn't galvanize fans, but that can't diminish how successful the film was as an exciting chase thriller and monster movie. Hulk roaring at a thunderstorm is a truly great moment.
16. Hellboy –Guillermo del Toro makes the list again, with another superhero horror story even darker than his previous entry in the genre. Demons and black magic abound in one of the most unique comic book adaptations I've ever seen, and it does it all with practical effects and makeup, eschewing CGI. The sequel is also awesome, and it was hard to pick which one to include on the list.
15. Superman II — Even with the controversies and additional camp that came with the change of filmmakers, this is still a great movie, and the first superhero film to examine a hero's angst. Long before Sam Raimi's Peter Parker gave up his super-identity for a woman, Clark Kent was making that choice and learning to deeply regret it in what is easily one of the best superhero sequels ever made.
14. X-Men: First Class –The second-best film of the X-Men series, with a cool period setting and Cold War historical links that turn it into a superhero espionage flick. Inspired casting, a good sense of humor, and a slick style add to a fun story with hints of James Bond and one of the best cameos of the year. Director Matthew Vaughn proved himself a worthy successor to Bryan Singer.
13. Captain America: The First Avenger –Another period-piece superhero movie, this film was going to rise or fall on the casting. Lucky thing, then, that Chris Evans proved to be such great casting. The focus on Steve Rogers' morals and courage, taking time to get to really know him before getting him into costume, was a wonderful decision that honored the character and lifted the entire film.

Diary - Alain de Botton

I've been Booton, Botten, Alan, Alun, Allen, Ellen. My car insurance is made out to a Mr Bottom. My
by Alain de Botton Published
I've spent the past couple of years visiting building sites. I've worn a hard hat, operated a cement mixer, painted ceilings, laid bricks and hammered nails - and talked to property developers in country pubs (and on golf courses, too). I've been trying to get to the bottom of what is awry with housing in this country. We're obsessed with home decoration, DIY and property prices, and yet most of the houses built by the volume housebuilders are repetitive, unimaginative and patronising. British housing is rather like British cooking was around 1975. What's gone wrong? Why are we carpeting the landscape with the architectural equivalents of the prawn cocktail - when in other creative areas, such as fashion or music, Britain leads the world?
Then again, it's important to tread carefully when attacking the design of buildings. Few things are thought more impolite or aggressive than to disagree with someone's judgement in this area. While we commonly accept that there may be better or worse kinds of music or food or legal decisions, visual taste is an area where strong objections are speedily equated with snobbery and condescension. There is no difficulty in proposing that Bob Dylan has the upper hand over Barry Manilow, but in the case of architecture, the sensible arguments are all on the side of relativism.
Nevertheless, it does seem that the function of any building is to reflect its era and location, so there is something peculiar in the many new houses that ape the architectural styles of two centuries ago. They are the architectural equivalent of a person who insists on speaking in Shakespearean English or on going to the office wearing a cape and a wig.
To argue that we should keep up with our era isn't to advocate blindly following fashion or accepting all that the modern world contains. To extend the analogy, we can use a modern vocabulary but still try to capture some of the intelligence and wit of the great Elizabethan writers, or base our clothes on contemporary sartorial custom yet create something alive to the past.
Whenever I used to see pictures of writers talking together at parties, I'd imagine that if only I could be invited to such events, I'd find a bunch of elevated souls deep in discussion about the meaning of life and the purposes of literature. But at a launch party the other day, I thought how different reality is. There's a great scene in Robert Musil's book The Man Without Qualities where the hero is invited to a party attended by all the heavyweights of the Viennese literary world. He expects to find them discoursing on Homer, Shakespeare and Goethe, but instead discovers that they're obsessed with publishing contracts, taxes and accountants. Perhaps it's naive to expect that we should always have our heads in the ivory tower. It's only natural that writers, after a day spent mapping the vagaries of the human soul, should relax with a deep discussion about the self-employment tax system. There's currently no topic more popular among writers than the question of what precisely can be claimed against tax. Some accountants claim that office furniture is deductible, others that even holidays count as "inspiration". Talk of literature inevitably pales next to such rewarding topics.
However multicultural this country is supposed to have become, it remains the case that if your name isn't something solid and simple (like Johnson or Stephens), you'd better abandon any attachment to dignity or accuracy. I've ended up Booton, Botten, Alan, Alun, Allen, Ellen. My car insurance is made out to a Mr Bottom. My dentist calls me Elaine. Receptionists go, "What?" when I say who I am, as though I'd made it up to tease them. Even worse, given Anglo-French and class relations, my name evokes something French (it is
in fact Sephardic Jewish) and aristocratic
(my ancestors were impecunious rabbis). So I took heart a few years ago when an author with a name as weird and as foreign as mine was adopted by the British reading classes as one of their favourite writers: Louis de Bernières. The other day, however, I was chatting to a bookseller in Waterstone's, who told me that a number of customers had picked up books of mine and then commented to him that they were really radical (and rather disappointing) departures from my earlier title Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Alain de Botton's new book is The Architecture of Happiness (Hamish Hamilton). An accompanying TV series starts on Channel 4 on 6 May, 7pm-9pm

Mathworks Tutoring | MyTutorWorks | Learningworks Foundation | Internships | Publishing | Photography | Forensics ........ Contact us at 5644 Tavilla Circle - Suite 201, Naples, FL 34110; 239-591-2468
How The Weatherworks and its affiliated companies (Mathworks Tutoring, MyTutorworks and The Learningworks Foundation) all have a common goal - help kids of all ages enjoy learning . In this context, even teachers can be "kids."
The How The Weatherworks principals (H. Michael "Mike" Mogil and Barbara G. Levine) accomplish this through their extensive hands-on outreach activities (weatherfests, family science days, weather camps, hurricane awareness programs, tutoring activities, school and library programs and teacher training activities). Recently, Barbara and Mike led an 11-day high school, earth science focused, field study across Arizona.
How The Weatherworks also fosters internships in which students interested in meteorology have a chance to "work" meteorology even before they set foot at a college or university. Some students continue their internship while they are at college. Mike often presents at the American Meteorological Society's Student Conference, an event targeted at upper level college students.
They also have a proven track record in publishing. Mike and Barbara have authored two books showcasing easy-to-do, home-based weather activities; and two more about extreme weather. They have also created several cloud and weather posters, cloud flash cards and cloud postcards. If you must have a weather tee-shirt showing a satellite view of a hurricane, they've created that, as well.
Mike routinely publishes weather-based articles at examiner.com (National Weather, Southwest Florida Weather, and Learning). Over the years, including his work at several companies and while supporting weather pages at several newspapers, Mike has penned more than 1000 weather stories.
Mike, Matt, and Barbara are avid photographers. Their images have graced numerous books and one of Mike's images found it's way onto a U.S. postage stamp.
How The Weatherworks also provides forensic weather services to attorneys and insurance companies.

I would bet that Washington has assured Morsi that monies from the U.S. will flow into Egypt as before only if he establishes absolute rule in cooperation with U.S. interests as did the former regime. The U.S. Empire cannot afford to support a true democracy either abroad or at home that departs from supporting Washington's expansive military presence around the world. There is nothing more attractive to politicians wherever they hold office than a welfare check from Uncle Sam. Will the Arab Spring survive? Most likely it will. Too much water has flowed over the dam of repression to be recovered.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.

The PGA Championship's Most Underrated Shots
Why does everyone forget about these moments?
August 2014
2013: Dufner's Friday Eagle
Jason Dufner grabbing Amanda's derriere in front of the whole world stole the show at the 2013 PGA Championship. But the infamous grab overshadowed some particularly good golf from Jason, especially from tee to green. Had Amanda not rushed onto the green on Sunday, Dufner's holed approach shot on Friday at Oak Hill's second hole would likely be the moment lodged in people's minds.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Anthony RhoadsThe high school sports season is upon us once again and it should be another interesting year in Clayton and Henry counties. I'm looking forward to an exciting year of local high school sports but there's one thing I am not looking forward to n the increasingly appalling behavior at games. It's one thing to be passionate about your team but why do folks seem to think that just because you're at a sporting event, that gives you the right to curse like a sailor, make insulting comments at coaches, teams, officials and other fans and to generally act like a moron? One of the things that irritates me most is the bad language. It's increasingly getting worse year after year and what is really sad is that it seems like we are becoming more accepting of it. At one time, if a kid used bad language or made obscene gestures, school officials would deal with him and then his parents would deal with him. There are instances where kids have used filthy language at events but when school officials get on them, the parents get mad at the officials and say stuff like "you can't tell my kid what to do." I also don't like it when coaches curse a blue streak, dropping the ?f-bomb' and other profanities in their tirades at officials or players. Coaches should be held to a standard and should be examples of proper behavior. If coaches go on profanity-laced tirades, what kind of example does that show to the kids? I don't think I am prudish but it's just not right for a coach to spew out profanity at players and officials. Another thing that bugs me about sports is that fans think they have a right to threaten or personally degrade officials. Do fans have a right to question calls or to take part in good-natured ribbing of officials? By all means. How many times have we all heard comments like ?get some glasses ref'? Those kinds of comments are a part of the game but some comments go way over the line. Threatening to beat up officials is going too far. If you want to get technical about it, it's a crime for a fan to threaten an official and that official would have every right to file charges against a fan who threatens violence. Making fun of an official's race, ethnicity or personal appearance is going too far. Last year, an official of Hispanic descent was hammered with comments from fans during a basketball game and it was disgusting. Another referee was hounded because he was overweight. If officials are making bad calls, then address that and criticize their performance but don't make fun of a person's ethnic background or appearance. But I guess some fans are just too stupid and classless to act decently. A sports event, especially at the high school level, should be a time when folks should be able to get together and have some fun. Go ahead and root for your team and be passionate about it but it's really dumb to curse, to make threats and to fight over it. Anthony Rhoads is a sports writer for the Daily and his columns appear on Wednesdays. He can be reached at email@example.com .

This rebound moves the lens out a bit giving us some structure around the scene. We now see that there is more going on in another area. I don't like the muzzle-blast. The japanese might not be accurate but it works as a textural back-fill. The overall scene art is good. The next step is adding some color, hopefully I can get something done in the next few days.

Backup Exec 2010 v.13 Email Notifications
Hi Community,
I am helping support a local non-profit running Backup Exec 2010 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have tried to set up the email notifications without success.
We do not use Microsoft Exchange and run our email through a third party. Is there anyway to setup email notifications without a local email server?
I ran SGMon and sent a test notification using a hotmail account in the SMTP. It returned message
800e0004, batch: 7, index: 0
All help will be appreciated.

As far as I know, it has to be a local Exchange server as email relaying is not supported.
You can try using the IP address of the remote server to see if this allows it to go through.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
On the Backup Exec Media server, use telnet on port 25 and manualy type the commands to send a mail message. Then you can see the error-message you receive from the mailserver.
See here for the commands:
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
...this is correct. Nothing in the SCL/Admin Guide about using remote servers to relay messages.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
You can also setup a Windows server to do the relay for your. You configure BE to send to your local server, and that server will forward to your mail partner with authentication:

The annual 4th of July Picnic was a success. Over 100 people attended. It was quite a pleasant gathering. The weather was definitely co-operating. The good was good. Our chef, Meryl Redman, did a superb job as usual. I say, "as usual," because Meryl has cooked for all of our July 4th picnics. A special thanks to the ladies on the serving line. Larry Joslin and I were the speakers. Even Jim Calhoun got in a few words. If you missed it, don't miss it next year.
Pushmataha County residents littered the sides of the roadway, parking lots and side streets last night as they came out to Moyers to enjoy their annual fireworks display.
Residents were pleasantly surprised but the magnitude and beauty of this year's display.
"I have been coming to this show for years and this is the best one I have seen since I moved here," one resident said.
Another stated, "Simply beautiful! And them playing the Star Spangled Banner during the grand finale was the icing on the cake!"
Over the weekend the Antlers Police Department responded to a call about a woman who had shoplifted beer for Jim Ray's Quick Stop in Antlers.
Upon officer arrival, Officer Stewart Stanfield made contact with a blond female who was sitting in the front passenger seat of a vehicle. Officer Stanfield also noticed eight cans of Keystone in the back seat that were well in reach of the female.
The female identified herself as Tosha Dillishaw, who is also known as Tosha McPherson, a 28 year old white female of Antlers.

As of this time, the City has no estimated time for when service will be restored.
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court voted to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) citing "deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment." This law specified that for federal purposes, "the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife."

Upper Palette: Tom Macs new album
Upper Palette: Tom Macs new album
By Molly Fleming, Staff Writer
Local musician Tom Mac will be releasing a solo CD this year titled Upper Palette. Originally set for release Dec. 31, 2002, the album was held a few weeks for further polishing and will be available for listeners sometime in January. The jazz influenced folk nine-song disk includes original compositions by Mac as well as jazz standards and has been in the works since 2001.
Mac is well known in Rockford for his folk/pop groups that frequently perform at Café Patou, Paragon and other local venues that host jazz and jazz-influenced music. Mac also has the ability to bring in well-known musicians of great status to perform with him, such as saxophonist Marc Colby and drummer Paul Wertico, who have both performed with him in the summer of 2002 in Rockford.
The recording of the new CD took place in Chicago, Austin, Texas, and Sedona, Ariz.. Artists included on Upper Palette are world-renowned guitarist Stanley Jordan, seven-time Grammy Award winner and drummer Paul Wertico, as well as Roscoe Beck and Larry Gray on bass and John Moulder on guitar, as well as others. People might remember Moulder from the concert he put on at the Sinnissippi Band Shell in summer 2001 when his guitar playing and arrangements had the audience speechless.
With a lineup of such well-seasoned musicians, Upper Palette should prove to be a musical mix-up of the best. The CD has been engineered and mastered by Daniel Leake, who has 23 Gold Records to his credit and has worked with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson and Sting. The exact date for the CD release party will be announced this month, so keep your eyes open.

Miami Dolphins (5-7) at San Francisco 49ers (8-3) The 49ers lost to the Rams last week in St. Louis, which has gotten a lot of Alex Smith supporters saying "I told you so," questioning Jim Harbaugh's decision to bench Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick. These people seem to be forgetting that Smith was losing to those same Rams at home when he got hurt and that he also lost to the Vikings. Oh, and if David Akers had hit a makeable field goal or Delanie Walker hadn't dropped a very catchable touchdown, the 49ers would have won and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Kaepernick gives the 49ers the biggest ceiling and the best chance to win the Super Bowl. He allows them to use the entirety of their complex playbook with his running ability and deep play ability and he hasn't seemed fazed by the mental part of the complex playbook each, which was formerly Smith's greatest advantage. He also helps open things up on the ground even more for their tough running game, which is already...

In '08, I became a baseball/Reds fan, and dragged by dad back to caring about baseball again (the '94 strike didn't sit well with him, and the lost decade didn't help). Since then, we've been to GABP a few times each year, including Opening Day in '09, and we've made it to PNC once. Anyway, this season we'll probably make our first trip up to Dayton, as its really no farther for us than Cincy (we're in Oxford). So, any tips on where to sit, etc.? Any players to watch- I know Hamilton will be there, LaMarre- Is H-Rod there yet?
Yes its still a bit of a ways off before tickets and such, but I just thought about it, and baseball season is close enough.

If you enjoy a more natural approach to your hair products you will thoroughly enjoy the Herb Balsam by KORRES. This rich conditioner is infused with Rosemary and Eucalyptus essential oils that have soothing and strengthening properties to improve your hairs body and sheen.
So how did we rate it? As conditioners go one always expects a thick and creamy texture. The Herb Balsam has a very clean emollient texture and goes on the hair very light. At first one may think this is not enough, but I had to remind myself that this is a 'homeopathic' formulation that in essence is very pure. And that is exactly what the Herb Balsam delivers! And to top it off, the essential oils create a blissful and relaxed hair infused experience.

Supply Chain Execution vendor, Manhattan Associates, recently reported
record results for the first quarter of 2000. Total revenue for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $28.3 million, an increase of 22% from
revenue of $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of 1999 and an increase
of 56% from revenue of $18.2 million for the first quarter ended March
31, 1999.
Manhattan managed to grow both license and services revenues, their percentages
remained little changed from 1999 averages of 18% licenses and 65% services.
License fees for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $5.0 million,
an increase of 17% from license fees of $4.3 million for the fourth quarter
of 1999. Services revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000 was
$17.5 million, an increase of 20% over services revenue of $14.6 million
for the fourth quarter of 1999.
Manhattan's profitability streak continued in the first quarter with net
income of $2.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income
of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Manhattan's results are an achievement for the Atlanta, Georgia based
vendor, but mimic those reported by many of its competitors in the SCE
software market.
events in the quarter are worthy of mention:
Like its competitors in the SCE market, Manhattan needs to use its strong
first quarter to build momentum to drive further revenue growth. The SCE
market is highly fragmented and rapid time to market is an imperative
in winning new customers. Although Manhattan has provided the execution
backbone for dot-coms for several years, it has suffered from lack of
a well-defined Internet product strategy (see TEC note, "Transition
for Manhattan Associates Necessary for Long Term Growth").
President and CEO, Richard Haddrill is overseeing Manhattan's Internet
development, which is finally underway after a period of stagnation in
the latter part of 1999. Haddrill was appointed to replace Chairman Alan
Dabbiere in October 1999 amid a broad restructuring of the company's operations.
There is a low probability (30%) that the agreement with CGS will yield
a web hosted offering before the third quarter 2000, placing Manhattan
well behind competitors such as Catalyst International, which finished
work on its web deployed WMS in late 1999. Supply chain planning vendor
Logility formed an alliance to offer its WarehousePRO WMS over the web
through partner eBaseOne.com in January.
lagging Internet capabilities aside, Manhattan did make progress in meeting
its international market penetration objectives with its wins at large
facilities in the UK. Its success at Bleckmann Logistics also indicates
Manhattan knows how to spawn new business from existing installations.
Manhattan had installed its WMS at Timberland in 1998, which helped it
in winning the contract at Shoe Studio 3PL Bleckmann.
Users should view Manhattan's recent results as a confirmation of its
ability to execute in its core markets. For companies operating in retail,
apparel, or consumer goods manufacturing who need solid warehousing or
transportation management capabilities only, Manhattan is a logical short
list candidate. Companies who are looking for support for e-commerce initiatives,
such as e-procurement and Internet fulfillment will want to consider Manhattan,
but only in conjunction with vendors that offer web front-ends and transaction
processing engines (such as CommericalWare), at least until InfoLink is
generally available.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 15 August 2012 10:20AM
The fundraising ball, which takes place at the London Grosvenor Hotel on 5 September, aims to celebrate the achievements of athletes taking part in the London 2012 Paralympic Games, which will take place between 29 August and 9 September.
The funds raised will go towards work conducted by the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) Agitos Foundation, a global body that develops sports activities for people with a disability, and the British Paralympic Association (BPA), to create a legacy for the Paralympic Movement beyond the 2012 Games.
The event will be attended by sports and showbiz celebrities, president of the IPC Sir Philip Craven and chief executive of the BPA, Tim Hollingsworth. It has not yet been confirmed whether other brands will provide additional sponsorship for the event.
P&G is a domestic partner of the London Paralympic Games and continues to promote its sponsorship of the sporting event through its 'Thank you mum' campaign, which showcases its individual brands such as Tide, Pampers and Ariel under the P&G company name.
Nathan Homer, Paralympics director at P&G UK and Ireland, said: "P&G is delighted to be an official partner of the Paralympic Ball to celebrate the power of the Paralympic Games.
"The ambition, talent and sheer determination of the ParalympicsGB athletes is truly inspirational. In addition to honouring these world-class athletes, we're also using our voice to recognise their nearest and dearest – like their mums – who have supported them in achieving their dreams."
P&G last week revealed it is increasing funding for its global youth sports programme by $20m (£16m) over the next 10 years through donations and sales of its brands. It has already raised $5m (£3.3m).Follow @loullamae_es

Creative Women Can Rocket In Business 02/14/2012
I'm excited to let you know that registrations are now open for the 2012 Creative Women Can Summit with the theme this year Creative Women Can Rocket In Business!
Here's a short message I've just recorded to tell you about the Summit. We've got some amazing and inspirational speakers coming on board and I can't wait to share them with you. Please share this video with your network of wonderful Creative Women who Can!
What Is Personal Leadership? 02/02/2012
The sort of feelings and experiences I described are also signs that you're off track and not honouring yourself in an empowering way. Time to get back to what it means to be you, and to take charge as the leader of your life, business, career and go out and grab your vision and squeeze it so tight it just melts into you as a divine reality
Personal leadership is, as you may think from it's name, a very personal experience. My expression of personal leadership will be different to your expression as will the outcomes for both of us. That is, I think, part of what makes personal leadership so empowering
I'll be back soon with more on this fascinating topic so until next time I wish you succulent, effortless success
Finally It Is Here, The Year Of You (Don't Be Fooled By The Simple Formula I Share. It's Transformational!) 01/19/2012
_ Instead what I hope to do is to help you get clear on why you have held back in pursuing your dreams till now, or why you've thought more about giving up than breaking through. I hope to highlight, loud and clear, why this is the best time for you to empower your visions, transform your life and create the masterpiece the world is waiting for - you!
Let's just dive in......
Back in December I hosted free training Webinar called Seal Your Success in 2012. It was so popular that there was a repeat performance last week and hundreds of people signed up to hear me share key strategies that will, if you implement them, set you up to make 2012 your best year yet (if you missed it you can view the replay here)
Now during Seal Your Success I revealed a really powerful reflection that I want to ask you now. After i've asked the question I'd love you to start writing your answer right away, without pausing, without hesitation, trusting in what is flowing forth from you, knowing that your inner leader is guiding you here
Ok here it is......
I've recently asked you to define a few interesting destinations. We started with balance, then added some growth and success and now it's time for happiness
I seem to have had an ongoing challenge when it comes to gaining a mutual understanding about the source of happiness. Some people in my life have made it clear that happiness is something they can give to someone else. Ever heard the phrase "I can / can't make you happy"? I know I've heard it. In fact I've heard it, read it, seen it, and overheard it many times. I feel sad that so many of these times it's been in the context of someone saying "I can't make you happy"
There seems to be a constant need to move towards achieving happiness and I get that. Being happy is so important. The thing is, how do we really be happy? Earlier today I read a great article about happiness and choices. This was after I'd had a great session with a client who's core passion is to help others to understand that we all have choices in life. It seems so timely that these 'signs' all show up, one after another, in my day (got to love synchronicity) and therefore I figured it was time to tackle happiness in this destination series for the innovation challenge. While the article effectively has a flavour linked to happiness and relationships, it's core message is about happiness being a choice. That, for me, cemented my belief that our happiness is our own responsibility and that led me to decide to offer you the chance, through today's Innovation Challenge to ask the following;
That's it! Easy hey? (I smile with cheekiness as I write that last bit and wish you bundles of effortless ease defining and achieving your destination happiness)
Wishing you succulent, effortless success and a whole lot a happy
P.S. One of my favourite things to say when I was little was "Smile coz it makes people wonder what you've been up to!" ~ it's also a great way to show your happy self to the world and to see the world smiling back at you with happiness too!
I've had a few days away and now it's time to get back on track and back to daily articles for the month long Ultimate Blog Challenge. During my time away I had the space to really consider how effective I am in all areas of my life and business. I believe it is essential to take time out to "smell the roses" so to speak, on a very regular basis. Without this space away from your regular life and demands of the day to day it can be hard to evaluate just how effective you are being and whether you are truly aligned with your goals, your dreams, your values, your visions.
Today's Innovation Challenge, in line with taking time out to reassess your effectiveness and to rest, rejuvenate and reconnect is relatively short and sweet. I'd like for you to schedule at least a half day, sometime in the next 5 days, to smell the roses and contemplate just how effective you are in your life and business. If you don't like the outcome of your contemplation then define a strategy to make the necessary changes and take action to get a different result!
I can highly recommend it. Wishing you succulent, effortless success
Innovation Challenge 9: 12 Ways To Be More Innovative In Your Effort To Be Effortlessly Successful 01/10/2012
"Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don't quit" Conrad Hilton
There is an interesting phenomenon, if you like, that exists amongst people. When it comes to getting what we want we take one of two approaches. We either move away from or towards things in our lives - our goals, visions, dreams, relationships, feelings, opportunities.... and the list goes on
Can you think right now of one thing you move away from - it might be something you move away from all the time. Now, think of something you move towards. How do you feel when you're in the move towards place?
Moving towards is what I like to call an expansive action. It's something that makes you feel open, alive, encouraged, very enthusiastic, motivated, excited, free. It's uplifting and inspiring
In contrast moving away from is more of a contracting action. It can make you feel challenged, feaarful, uncomfortable, disconnected, reactionary, slow, depleated. It zaps your energy and can leave you feeling far from your best self
"All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise" ~ Robert Fritz
Do you get the feeling that it is time for you to soar? I do! I know it is for me and it feels like this year it is for all of us with great inspiring exciting visions for sharing our gifts with the world in whatever way we are called to do so
How though, do you soar? What does it take to 'take off' and fly with uplifting, sustained momentum?
It takes you to make new choices. Bolder choices. Daring choices. It takes you to get outside of your comfort zone. It requires you to stretch. To bend yourself in a new way
I want to remind you that if you are not happy with your present situation then you need to do something different to change the outcome. Remember Einstein said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome. How true that is
The start of your Innovation Challenge for today is to take some time to reflect on and answer these questions:
When did you last
1. Stretch yourself?
2. Take a bend to shift to a new viewpoint or thought?
3. Step outside your comfort zone to see what's 'lurking' out there in the big wide world beyond the limits you have placed on your possibility and potential?

As we move from Phase One to Phase Two of the awards season, things begin to take a new turn. Now, it's not only predicting who and what is going to be nominated, but also now a focus on potential winners comes into play. In a few categories, the winner has more or less been clear as day, but in the majority of them it's an open race still. As such, I'm going to take a shot today at attempting to predict the Golden Globe awards. The members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made their nomination picks recently, so now I get to sort through them and try to figure out how the Globes will turn out…
Before I show you the predictions, I'll quickly give you my train of thought. Essentially, I tried to split things between Birdman and Boyhood, since I'm not sure how the voters are going to deal with The Imitation Game, Into the Woods, and The Theory of Everything. I don't think all three will get shut out of wins, but at least one likely will. There are a few safe bets here, with the Globes likely to cite Patricia Arquette in Best Supporting Actress for one of Boyhood's wins, Julianne Moore in Best Actress (Drama) for Still Alice, and J.K. Simmons in Best Supporting Actor for Whiplash. Those are close to locks. The other categories, give or take Best Animated Feature for The Lego Movie, are certainly up for grabs. As such, for now I'm looking to Birdman to do very well in the Comedy/Musical fields while Boyhood leads the charge in Drama. A lot remains to be seen though, so sit tight. The race is far from over at this still early juncture. Technically it's not even Phase Two yet! We have a long way to go.
Alright, enough talk. Time for the good stuff, right? Here now is how I currently see the Golden Globe awards going down:
Best Picture (Drama)
1. Boyhood
2. The Theory of Everything
3. The Imitation Game
4. Selma
5. Foxcatcher
Best Picture (Comedy or Musical)
1. Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel
3. Into the Woods
4. St. Vincent
5. Pride
Best Actor (Drama)
1. Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything
2. Benedict Cumberbatch – The Imitation Game
3. David Oyelowo – Selma
4. Steve Carell – Foxcatcher
5. Jake Gyllenhaal – Nightcrawler
Best Actor (Comedy or Musical)

Golden Globe post nomination predictions for December
As we move from Phase One to Phase Two of the awards season, things begin to take a new turn.

In a few categories, the winner has more or less been clear as day, but in the majority of them it's an open race still.

A look at some potential first time Academy Award nominees this year
One of the most enjoyable things about the Oscars each and every single year is that a number of overdue veterans are finally cited with their first Academy Award nominations. These nods are sometimes for career best work and sometimes almost life achievement citations, but it's very rare that the noms aren't actually fully deserved. This year, there are no shortage of very deserving first timers who are only a matter of weeks away from hearing their name called out at long last. As such, I wanted to give you all a look at a number of them, mostly in the major categories, though not exclusively.
Here now are a dozen (well, technically more, as you'll see in a moment) potential first time Oscar nominees for this year:
1. (Almost) The entire Best Actor field – With the exception of prior nominees Bradley Cooper, Ralph Fiennes, and Jake Gyllenhaal, every realistic contender for a Best Actor nomination (not to mention the win) would be a first time nominee. They mainly include Steve Carell, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Keaton, David Oyelowo, and Eddie Redmayne, but also Ellar Coltrane, Oscar Isaac, Jack O'Connell, Timothy Spall, Channing Tatum, and Miles Teller as well. An embarrassment of riches here, so while perhaps the entire lineup in Best Actor will be first timers, more than a few will be snubbed as well.
2. J.K. Simmons – If there's a slam dunk win to be found among the big eight Oscar categories, it's first timer Simmons finally getting his due from the Academy. His role in Whiplash is perhaps the best he's ever gotten, though it's no surprise at all that he knocks it out of the park. You can put him down for his first nomination and first win in ink. It's happening.
3. Felicity Jones – With The Theory of Everything poised to do very well on nomination morning, it seems exceedingly likely that Jones will receive her first citation from voters. At one point she was considered a potential winner too, and while that time has probably come and gone, she's still almost certain to be nominated. From there, we'll just have to see what happens. Snubbed a few years ago for her breakthrough performance in Like Crazy, I'm glad that Jones is getting in now.
4. Hoyte Van Hoytema – Even if Interstellar winds up snubbed in most of the big eight categories, if not all of them […]
A Mid-December Oscar Predictions Update
We're almost at the point where it's time for weekly Oscar prediction updates folks. It's not quite that time, but before long it'll be bi-weekly at least, with some precursor winner predictions thrown in for good measure. Anyway, since it's the middle of the month, it's time for new Academy Award predictions. With the precursors in full swing, there's no shortage of things to consider, so expect a bit of a change in how a number of my categories look. There's only a matter of weeks left to nail down who the nominees will wind up being, so the final time to play games is now. Once we hit January, things are far more serious. There's no way to get things 100% accurate, but I certainly aim to come as close as I can.
What you'll mainly see here in this latest update is a real swing in the favor of Wes Anderson's film The Grand Budapest Hotel. What I once had all but getting shut out could now be in line for perhaps a half a dozen nominations. I highly doubt that a total as high as that will actually occur, but the possibility is officially there. If the precursors did one thing (aside from solidifying Richard Linklater's Boyhood as the current frontrunner/one to beat), it was to give Anderson and his movie a second life. We'll see if it lasts, but it's certainly been something that I took notice of. Other new things reflected here include slightly tinkered with Best Original Score and Best Original Song predictions, with the latter showing the actual song now, since the long list has now come out (along with the bake off titles for Best Hairstyling and Makeup having been announced as well). There's still the Best Foreign Language Feature long list that we need to see, but that could be basically at any moment now, so if it hits soon I'll just update here and make a notation. (It came out, so that's reflected here too)
Here now, without any further delay, are my brand spanking new/up to date Academy Award predictions. Behold:
1. Boyhood
2. Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
3. Selma
4. The Imitation Game
5. The Theory of Everything
6. Whiplash
7. The Grand Budapest Hotel
8. Gone Girl
9. Foxcatcher
10. Interstellar
Next in line: 11. A Most Violent Year 12. Into the Woods 13. Unbroken 14. Wild 15. American Sniper 16. Nightcrawler 17. Mr. Turner 18. […]
Updated Oscar predictions after the Golden Globe and SAG announcements
Happy Friday everyone! With the nominations for the Golden Globe awards and the Screen Actors Guild awards really giving a bit more shape to the Academy Award race, I thought it was time to break in a bit early with some new predictions. Yes, consider this a bonus Oscar prediction update. Enough has changed that I really think it's apt to begin putting these up a little more often. I'm not sure I'll do it every week just yet, but we're closing in on that sort of time period. Obviously we've seen certain titles/performances really come on strong this week, while others have really faded. As such, there's a fair amount of movement in this update.
Most notably, I've boosted Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Nightcrawler, while backing away from The Imitation Game, Interstellar, and Selma, to one degree or another, not to mention almost completely abandoning Unbroken. The Imitation Game and Selma are still viable Best Picture winners, but Birdman has jumped past them for now. Obviously, everything is in the shadow of Boyhood until further notice, but the jockeying below it is going on hot and heavy. Lots can and still will happen between now and the Oscar nominations being announced, so it's hardly a set field by any stretch of the imagination.
Here now are my most up to date Academy Award predictions, reflecting the Globe and SAG nomination results (including a quick additional update to reflect the scores and songs deemed eligible by the Academy):
1. Boyhood
2. Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
3. Selma
4. The Imitation Game
5. Whiplash
6. Gone Girl
7. Foxcatcher
8. The Theory of Everything
9. A Most Violent Year
10. Interstellar
Next in line: 11. Unbroken 12. The Grand Budapest Hotel 13. Into the Woods 14. American Sniper 15. Fury 16. Wild 17. Mr. Turner 18. Inherent Vice 19. Nightcrawler 20. Rosewater
1. Richard Linklater – Boyhood
2. Alejandro González Iñárritu – Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
3. Ava DuVernay – Selma
4. David Fincher – Gone Girl
5. Damien Chazelle – Whiplash
Next in line: 6. Morten Tyldum – The Imitation Game 7. J.C. Chandor – A Most Violent Year 8. Clint Eastwood – American Sniper 9. Christopher Nolan – Interstellar 10. Wes Anderson – The Grand Budapest Hotel

A December Oscar Predictions Update
Well, the calendar has turned to December folks, so now we're getting serious here in terms of Oscar predictions. Precursor awards are in full swing now, so expect the Academy Award picture to begin to clear itself up little by little. As I keep saying, that doesn't mean that from now on we'll suddenly know how the whole thing will go down, but we're close to the point where things should make more sense. Without any unseen contenders left, all that's left is figuring out how these various Oscar hopefuls will do. Well, that's what I'm here for ladies and gentlemen, so let's figure it out!
The big new piece of information here is that I've now seen and digested Angelina Jolie's film Unbroken. Honestly, I'm skeptical that it'll be a major player, which is why I now have it snubbed in the Best Picture category and not going home with a single win. I could be wrong, but I also think that Jolie will fall short in Best Director and Jack O'Connell won't be able to break through in the Best Actor race. It's not that I don't think it's a good movie, because it is, but it doesn't feel like something that can stand up to the major players in this race. As such, voters might leave it behind.
This leaves us mostly with a race that's going to come down to Richard Linklater's Boyhood, Morten Tyldum's The Imitation Game, and Ava DuVernay's Selma in terms of Best Picture as well as Best Director. You can make the case that Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a potential dark horse, but aside from that, it's those three. You'll see what I think will happen below, but get used to seeing those titles a lot, because those are the names that will compete for Oscar glory.
Anyway, it's time to get down to business, right? Without further delay, here is how I see the Academy Award nominations going at this current juncture, with once again my next in line picks listed for completion/as a bonus. Behold:
1. Boyhood
2. Selma
3. The Imitation Game
4. Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
5. Interstellar
6. Gone Girl
7. Whiplash
8. The Theory of Everything
9. Foxcatcher
10. A Most Violent Year
Next in line: 11. Unbroken 12. American Sniper 13. Into the Woods 14. Fury 15. Rosewater 16. Wild 17. Mr. Turner 18. Inherent Vice 19. Nightcrawler […]
Golden Globe predictions for November
It's Black Friday, so I know you're all mostly concerned with taking advantage of various sales, but since it's also the end of November, I wanted to bring some new Golden Globe predictions to you as well. We've been doing these for a while now, but this represents likelythe final one I'll be doing before the actual nominations are announced in about two weeks on December 11th (unless I preview the announcement with a final set of predictions…we'll see). As such, I'm hoping to really nail them this time around, and try to figure out how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association might go with their nods. The HFPA can go in some odd directions too, so these noms might even be a little more Oscar friendly than they wind up being. We'll see though.
The biggest addition this time around is accounting for Selma in the race. I still had it shut out last time around, and while I don't necessarily think it's going to dominate the Globes, I do think a shut out isn't going to happen. I also had to try to figure out what to do with Unbroken, which I don't see until Monday. As such, I left it alone for the most part. If I do indeed do one last update to these predictions, it'll be due at least in part to a need to account for the film, one way or another. Perhaps I'll need to predict it for some wins? Perhaps I'll need to drop it completely? Somewhere in between? I'll find out at the beginning of next week and report in on the film itself, but if I do update Globe predictions, reflections on that movie will be involved for sure.
Here now though, without any further delay on my part (since as always we know that you're really here just to see what I have below in each of the categories), are a brand spanking new set of Golden Globe nomination predictions to pour over. Behold:
Best Picture (Drama)
1. The Imitation Game
2. Selma
3. Boyhood
4. Gone Girl
5. Unbroken
If there's a sixth: Interstellar
Best Picture (Comedy or Musical)

A Mid-November Oscar Predictions Update
I'm going to keep it short and sweet today folks, or at least a bit shorter than usual in terms of set up. You all know by now that it's time for my middle of the month Oscar predictions update piece. Sometimes, there's only a tinker or two to be done, but today…today I have a seismic shift to include, namely in the arrival of Selma on the scene. It's gone from being shut out (what was I thinking?) to contending for wins in multiple major categories. In fact, more than one of the big eight categories have new winners listed, so this is a definite change in thinking. Some of it might be short lived, but that's what the upcoming new set of predictions next month is for, right? I've also added the three short form categories (Animated Short, Documentary Short, and Live Action Short), though I know that's not quite as big a selling point. Still, they're there now, so don't ignore them.
Anyway, let's get down to business, shall we? Without further delay, here is how I see the Academy Award nominations going at this current juncture, with once again my next in line picks listed for completion. Behold:
1. Boyhood
2. Selma
3. The Imitation Game
4. Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance
5. Interstellar

A November Oscar Predictions Update
The calendar has turned to November folks, so now we're getting down to the nitty gritty of Oscar predictions. Precursor awards have begun to be given out, so expect the Academy Award picture to slowly begin to clear up. That doesn't mean that from now on we suddenly know how the whole thing will go, but we're closing in on the point where things should begin to make more sense. We can still guess to our heart's content, but certain long shots just won't happen and certain likelihoods are even more likely now. That's just the name of the game. By nomination morning I should have things pretty accurate, but for now, it's still a matter of fine tuning. This is just the first phase of the game too, keep that in mind. Once the nominations are announced, the whole situation changes and it becomes all about figuring out winners. Nominees are one thing…winners are a whole other.
For this particular update, I tried to decide if there were any surprises to consider. For one thing, I backed away from American Sniper quite a bit. On the flip side, I've gotten pretty bold with Interstellar, including Christopher Nolan's first Best Director nomination. I also am sticking with my next in line bonus little thing in each category, since it give you all a further look at what I'm thinking as the weeks progress. Knowing the top ten in a given category (double that in Best Picture, obviously) can help assess the whole situation, so I think it's a help overall.
In terms of my winners, I just want to say once again that I think just about every race is still wide open (give or take Best Supporting Actor) and I refuse to predict a split between Best Picture and Best Director this early in the game, so when I switch one, I have to change the other as well. As such, you'll see a new winner or two throughout the big eight categories, but mostly the status quo from last time around. They could just be temporary, but time will tell in that regard. For now, that's just how I see the race…
Well, enough talk though my friends. I know you all just want to see how the predictions have changed, even if only a little bit, so let me oblige you. Here now are my most up to date Academy […]
Golden Globe predictions for October
With the month of October almost complete and the precursor season having officially kicked off yesterday morning with the Gotham Award nominations (I'll be writing about that on Monday or Tuesday as part of something more substantial about precursors), now's a perfect time for my monthly set of Golden Globe predictions. Some might consider it a bit too early still, but not me. It's time. Especially considering some of the embargoed things I've seen this month (including one big one I can't talk about yet), it's high time to discuss the Globes again.
To reiterate the basics to you all one more time, the biggest difference that you'll see here between the Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is that they tend to go for the bigger names or the bigger productions, as well as more European fare at times. So yes, some films that do better here might not do quite as well with Oscar. Certain titles will do about the same with both groups, like potentially Angelina Jolie's Unbroken, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, or Morten Tyldum's The Imitation Game. You also still might lose certain indie players here, as you'll see evidenced by much smaller nomination totals (or even shutouts) for Richard Linklater's Boyhood (though that one can go either way considering it's potentially a frontrunner for Best Picture), just as one example, though others could be movies like J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year. On the flip side though, the inclusion of comedies and musicals allows longer shot work like John Carney's Begin Again, Damien Chazelle's Whiplash, Rob Marshall's Into the Woods, and Theodore Melfi's St. Vincent to have a shot at not just contention for nods, but actual noms, as well as wins. Nominations that would have been wishful thinking with the Academy and AMPAS (or just harder to come by) are very much in play with the categories that the HFPA deals in. That's just the nature of the beast here folks.
Here now though, without any further delay on my part (since we all know that you're really here just to see what I have below in each category), are a brand spanking new set of Golden Globe predictions. Behold:
Best Picture (Drama)
1. The Imitation Game
2. Interstellar
3. Unbroken
4. Boyhood
5. The Theory of Everything
If there's a sixth: Gone Girl

A look at Screen Actors Guild predictions
I've been tackling Academy Award and Golden Globe predictions for a substantial portion of the year now, but there are of course other awards and/or precursors worth mentioning. Over the rest of the season, I'll be trying to figure those out too, with today marking the starting point as I attempt to decode what the Screen Actors Guild might do. SAG is one of the most important precursors, mainly because it shows off what the acting branch of the Academy might be thinking. This year, with such a wide open race in almost all categories, you have to imagine that SAG will be one of the biggest guild announcements of the year.
Below you'll see my predictions in all of the SAG categories, but keep in mind that it's early and they're completely subject to change. For example, I've hung back on some films like Selma while going out on a few limbs that make more sense now than they likely will during crunch time. In any event…here you go:
Best Actor is so packed this year, whomever is snubbed in this category could find their chances crippled. Last year, SAG went three out of five (nominating Bruce Dern, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey, and Forest Whitaker…Hanks and Whitaker were swapped out for Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio in Oscar's lineup), so they clearly help. McConaughey won here on his road to the Academy Award win, so that's worth noting as well. At this point, it's wide open…
Bradley Cooper – American Sniper
Benedict Cumberbatch – The Imitation Game
Michael Keaton – Birdman
Joaquin Phoenix – Inherent Vice
Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything
Prediction: Michael Keaton
With Best Actress, we're going to have to look to see which direction voters go, though last year won't provide any help. Last time around SAG went four out of five with Oscar (only having to sub out Emma Thompson for Amy Adams, as Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Judi Dench, and Meryl Streep all made the cut), so I'd expect a close relationship between the two awards. Still, it's going to be hard for them to resist the veteran here.
Felicity Jones – The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore – Still Alice
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
Reese Witherspoon – Wild
Shailene Woodley – The Fault in Our Stars
Prediction: Julianne Moore
Best Supporting Actor is a slam dunk this year, so unless SAG pulls a shocker, we know who's winning. Much like last year, there's basically […]

Looking the Part
For a director, getting an actor to try a radical new look is not always an easy process. Say, Jude Law in mutton chops?
IN CHARACTER: Shepard (left) directs Jude Law and Richard E. Grant in a scene from Don Hemingway.
Two months from shooting our film Dom Hemingway, Jude Law stares at me with a politely strained expression that seems to say, "Get me off this picture."
We're in a meeting to discuss what Jude should look like as the title character, and I mention with clear confidence that I would like Dom to look sort of like Lemmy from Motörhead, only wearing a three-piece suit intentionally tailored to be uncomfortably tight.
Jude tries to smile. But you can see the wheels turning. And they seem to be turning in one direction: toward the exit.
Already knee-deep in it, I then asked Jude to gain 25 pounds and grease his hair back for the role so I can see how it recedes.
Jude, who even in his scruffiest moments looks like a million bucks, wants to be collaborative and find the look for Dom together, but he's also scared shitless. My doodle of how I imagine the character doesn't help.
"Really? Lemmy?"
"Just the same facial hair." I say, trying to hide the sweat stains now soaking my shirt.
"How about a mustache?"
"Sure, we can talk about it. But I was thinking full-out mutton chops. I think it will be cooler."
"Cooler? You think?"
To be honest, Jude's fear is justified. This character is a risk for him. Dom Hemingway is an excon just out from prison who uses his wit more than his fists. He's a massively entertaining egotist who shoots himself in the foot at every turn. It's a great, big theatrical role, but truth be told Dom is hard to like; only an out-there, balls-out performance will work. The type of role where you either hit a home run or they hold it against you for years to come— especially the mutton chops.
It's an independent film. Not a lot of money. The ones you do for love. And Jude doesn't love the facial hair concept—not one bit.
"Really, mate? Lemmy?"
I'm a director who believes that wardrobe along with hair and makeup is the key to helping actors find their character. It's not till the actor gets into costume—gets their hair just right, finds the right accessories—that they start walking in that character's shoes, literally and figuratively. In this case, where we have to convincingly believe that prettyboy movie star Jude Law is a hardened con with an ego the size of South London, this facial hair is a vitally important first step to help him lose himself— and find Dom Hemingway.
Jude quietly sips some tea. "OK. I'll grow out my beard and hair and see how it goes. But I'm really liking the idea of a mustache..."
"Great!" I say, knowing this is going to be a tough and protracted battle. As a director who likes to rough up the way certain male movie stars are perceived, I settle in for the good fight.
Back in 2005 on The Matador, Pierce Brosnan had a similar reaction when I suggested his character have a degenerate porn-star mustache. Pierce almost stopped speaking to me, and nearly dropped out of the movie.
"Maybe Pierce can shave off the mustache in the first scene?" one of the producers suggested nervously.
"Maybe Pierce's mustache should look more like Clark Gable's?" suggested another.
"Maybe Pierce should be clean shaven— it would be easier to market the movie."
I held my ground. The mustache represented everything I wanted from Pierce in the movie—to break with things that made him comfortable and to make him someone else, both physically and emotionally.
But holding true to your vision is a tricky thing, especially when the star of your film is quickly losing confidence. Film is a collaborative medium, and disagreements breed creative solutions that are sometimes fantastic. You can't be too hardheaded, but you also can't give in just to make things easier.
I now faced a similar situation with Jude.
Jude is nothing if not passionate, and he wanted to find Dom in an organic way. So while not quite agreeing to mutton chops, he agreed to grow his facial hair and make the funny business decision down the road. He also agreed to eat and drink whatever was presented to him so he would gain weight, and to let Julian Day, our brilliant costume designer, have a suit made that was significantly tighter than he was used to.
But as production loomed, the facial hair situation remained unresolved.
Jude would call me up and say, "I've been thinking, I'm still not feeling comfortable with the mutton chops. I just want a mustache."
I would reply, "I hear you, but let's wait till your suit is made and see the whole picture."
And I did hear him. He was the one who had to play this part. If he didn't feel comfortable, how could he do it? That said, I also knew that for me, Jude with that specific facial hair was Dom. I just had to get him there.
With the clock ticking toward our start date, our producer suggested nervously:
"Maybe Jude can shave the mutton chops off in the first scene?"
"Maybe Jude should just have a mustache, like Clark Gable's?" offered another.
"Maybe Jude should be clean shaven—it would be easier to market the movie."
Finally, two days before filming, Julian had a beautiful tailored suit ready to go, significantly tighter than Jude was used to. The theory was that this was the same suit Dom wore to prison 12 years before. Julian also found the most amazing pair of boots that basically said 'Fuck me or fight me,' and Jude loved them. Using part of the plastic nipple from a baby bottle, Jude had fashioned a weird device that would go up his nose, allowing him to breathe but distorting the nose so it looked broken. With his suit on, boots on, nose distorter in place, and hair slicked back, Jude stared into the mirror at his bearded face and said, "Let's start shaving. We'll start with the Lemmy. Then go to the mustache."
Filming was starting in 48 hours. I knew that if we got to the mustache only, there would be no going back to the mutton chops. So if this fight was going to be won, it would have to be won now.
I took a few photos on my iPhone. I loved the way he looked, but I knew that unless Jude organically came around to loving it too, we were in deep trouble. You can't force it.
Jude kept staring at himself silently. Kept going for walks along the fading hallways of Pinewood Studios. No one said a thing.
During that time I texted one of the photos I had taken to my girlfriend Jenni back in New York. A few minutes later, she texted back.
I walked over to Jude, told him I had sent a photo to my girlfriend, and showed him her reply.
He read it silently. A few minutes later Jude said, OK, he was ready to move forward with the mutton chops.
We hugged. The weight of the world lifted. We had found Dom.
The text reply from Jenni had said simply: "He's never looked sexier."

What you are embarking upon is generally considered dangerous. If you are having doubts, go with your feelings and don't go through with it. <br />
Otherwise, make sure it is safe for you, perhaps bring a friend along.
