The red, orange and 'puke-yellow' uniforms did evoke anger and aggression — but it was directed at the jerseys that have become ingrained in team lore
There is a reason, Bill Boyd once asserted, that psychiatric wards were painted blue-green.
His theory went that, as colours were detected by the cones and rods in the eyes, they would travel along different nerve paths to the brain. "Blue-green is the coolest colour of all. Slows the pulse, reduces aggression, promotes calmness … Encourages tranquility."
How about white? "Being a passive colour, induces the least response of all."
And green? "Did you know that in ancient times green — not black, but green — was the colour symbolizing death?"
You don't say. How about blue? "To the ancients, blue symbolized saintliness. It was their colour of virginity."
This bold science was the reasoning the San Francisco-based designer laid out for legendary Province and Sun columnist Jim Taylor back in 1978 as he described the equally bold new look of the Vancouver Canucks uniform: The unforgettable Flying V.
"With the Canuck uniforms we are going from the coolest of colours — blue-green — to the hottest: red-orange. What we are attempting to create is an atmosphere that will help create the happy, upbeat, aggressive player — and, hopefully, the happy, upbeat fan. The Canucks want to provide the fan with an atmosphere in which it's easier for him or her to have fun."
Boyd did get one thing right: The red, orange and "puke-yellow" uniforms did evoke anger and aggression — but it was directed at the jerseys that have become ingrained in team lore.
Almost every player — and every fan — hated them, with descriptions ranging from pyjamas to clown suits to profanity that can't be published without a backlash from the pearl-clutching brigade. The garishly coloured uniforms were in stark contrast to the previous blue, green and white kit with the simple stick logo, but one can only wonder if Boyd's science was correct.
In the previous eight seasons, the Canucks made just two playoff appearances and missed the postseason for two consecutive years when the Flying V appeared on the scene.
But Vancouver made the playoffs the first six of the seven years they wore it, including the storied 1981-82 campaign, when Stan Smyl and Richard Brodeur led their first-ever playoff series win en route to their miracle run to the Stanley Cup Final.
No wonder Smyl is one of the few to publicly state their love for the Flying V.
"I loved that jersey," he told Postmedia in 2015. "It was my first year in the NHL. That was my jersey and I was going to do everything to wear it proudly. To this day, that's how I feel about it."
The jersey's existence as an outlier makes sense considering its beginnings. The Canucks commissioned Beyl & Boyd, a communications firm — yes, a communications firm — based in San Francisco for the redesign. It cost around $100,000, which would be about a cool half-million in today's dollars.
The Americans' lack of exposure to hockey was clear in their "scientific" design sense, which sounds like a warped version of feng shui.
"V is for Vancouver," said Boyd. "It's fortunate, too … because it creates the ideal diagonal stripe. All teams have horizontal or vertical stripes. That's static. Diagonal stripes get your attention. They're like the crooked picture on the wall. You have to fix it or it drives you crazy."
Mission accomplished. It drove people crazy, Smyl's adoration aside.
But general outrage has faded over the uniforms, to the point where they are now ironically fashionable.
And any lingering disgust could be further softened by the fact the Flying V gave birth to the Flying Skate — the runaway favourite of all Canucks jerseys. The logo, which had originally graced the shoulders of the Flying V, moved front and centre to the chest.
"We analyzed the colours and logo of every team in every major-league sport. We gave the Canucks 20 different approaches," Boyd said. "Mike Bull, a San Francisco illustrator who did the Levi jeans commercials on television and whose work is known to millions, did the one that's been accepted — the skate speeding over the word Canuck. It has motion and style. It's pop art, sure, but we don't mind the term. Pop simply means popular, doesn't it?"
The Flying V, finally embraced, 40 years on.

Art and Propaganda… some thoughts
There is certainly no way to quantify where exactly art ends and propaganda begins. Probably all art contains some percentage of propaganda and vice versa . In the same way, aside from Jesus himself, there is probably no such thing as a 100% pure motive. It's always a mixed bag.

Renting or selling a home can be a lengthy process. However, there are things we can do to speed up the process. There are many people who think that if a house is up for sale or lease you can just remove your personal items and leave it as is. But that cannot be done.
The house may have walls in disrepair, broken appliances and cleaning to do. So, it would be best to resolve these issues before putting it on the market. A house is an investment on your part, and you can accelerate the renting process by making your space more appealing, attracting the attention of more people who will eventually visit and then make offers for rent. In this manner you will quickly recover your investment and even profit from it.
Take a look at these six suggestions on how to prepare your apartment for rent, and think carefully about whether you can't do something better.
When we visit a house up for rent, we notice, of course, the state it is in. Walls with cracks in, with too much moisture and with the paint cracking is not an option. An ill-treated floor isn't an option either. Torn wallpaper? Hmm, we don't think so. Because we seek comfort and we do not, as a rule, much like having to do work which, as we know, always brings about a headache, we have to find some effective and easy strategies.
Therefore, we know it is a good idea to put ourselves in the place of interested parties and take care of our house before we announce it's up for rental. There are some easy interventions that can add value to your space. If you invest in some repairs, you can increase the rental price, and will always win in a market which is very competitive. Remember there is always a market for quality and people with economic power to pay for it.
In the case of walls and to solve its problems, choose a neutral colour for painting. White, for example, is a very basic and easily changeable base, should the future tenant want a more vibrant hue.
A lot of tenants are looking for apartments or houses that are at least partly furnished. This means having the basic furnishings with the most common appliances such as a stove, oven, fridge and washing machine. If you have a dishwasher, so much the better, but we would say it is not the main priority. In any case, inquire if all devices are running smoothly and repair or replace it where necessary.
Your future tenant will not be very impressed if one of the stove plates do not work, if the washer causes flooding, if the lamps have burned out, or if the oven doesn't heat up. Trust us. There are small things that can make someone "take it or leave it". In addition to the appliances, pass the comb through the taps, plugs, switches, latches and locks on windows and door.
A red sofa or a sculptural piece may delight you, but it may not be the same for everyone. In principle, before taking a decision, you will have to show the house to several people with distinct aesthetic conceptions. Preferably stick to a moderate colour palette and choose neutral furniture that will appeal to the majority.
Objects or colours that are too fancy will eventually become the centre of attention, possibly for the worst reasons. Remember, the intention is that the potential future renter see the space as a whole and not focus on this or that ostentatious element. Furthermore, on a white background, there are many decorative routes you can take which will be an asset when it comes to deciding whether or not to rent a space. The same cannot be said of vibrant colours.
Take note of this living room's proposed design by Germano de Castro Pinheiro, which has all the furniture needed for a good quality of life in simple, elegant tones.
This goes without saying. Not here and there, but at the core of things. Turn about the furniture and clean them on the inside, vacuum the baseboards and corners of the ceiling, use a detergent with a fresh, pleasant smell and, of course, don't forget to spray fresheners into the air of the house to provide a sense of purity and hygiene.
It isn't rare to see a house up for rent in the papers, and when we go to the place it seems completely different from what we thought. Sometimes this is because the owners have little style when it comes to preparing the house for visitors. Leaving the bed unmade, the dishes unwashed or all of the floors dusty will not make a good impression and reduce the odds of getting someone to rent your home. An untidy home can prevent tenants to see the home's possible full potential.
You're handing over your house to a third party, so avoid leaving personal belongings behind. You know what we're talking about, that picture with the birthdate of the prodigal son around the house, the photos of those family holidays, and the stencil of Hello Kitty in the nursery. These are the things you have to remove.
Take away everything that has a particular character. Remove all of these things from the furniture and the walls. Thus, when you are receiving visits from interested parties, they will find it easier to see the house as a blank slate that can later be filled with their own memories.
Yes it's true. We told you to get rid of all personal belongings because the house will no longer be yours. However, do not have to strip all the details and end up with a cold space, unattractive and unappealing.
You can, for example, spread the scent of candles here and there, buy fresh flowers to place strategically in the house on the day it will be visited, light lamps that illuminate points of interest in the house and leave mirrors or picture for some scenery. Thus, although the house will be neutral and ready for someone to move in, it can still be cosy with a nice atmosphere that arouses the desire to dwell.

Ezekiel 38
Originally written by David Guzik
Who is Gog:
Gog is a ruler of many nations with a powerful army. His allies will include Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Libya and Europe.
Note that this conferedacy may still be forming and be completed in the future.
(Gog has no direct ties to any modern day country, and it is still possible an alliance is to be formed in Europe, with allies of the six noted countries above, these countries having allegience to a coming "Anti-Christ", who leads them into battle against Israel).
Magog: The Land of Gog.
When will this happen: In the latter days, in the end-times.
Gog dreams an evil plan in his mind (Eze 38:10-13), to attack Israel and take its riches. 'Thus says the Lord God: "On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: You will say, 'I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates'— to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited"
Then God draws Gog to go forward with the attack against Israel. (Eze 38:4-6)
".. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. "
Gogs army will be well equipped, powerful and modern and ready for conquest, the mightiest alliance that has ever acted against Israel.
With Gog being an imperial power with vast military resources. With armies invading from every direction against Israel (Europe and Turkey North, Iran West, Ethiopia South, and Libya East).
The nations allied with Gog and Magog will come from every direction against Israel and, The number of listed nations allied with Gog and Magog is seven.
(Eze 38:7-9) Magog's armies come into the land of Israel.
"Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you."
This battle happens after Israel is dwelling in peace safety and security in their reclaimed land. (After 1967). The chapters of Ezekiel allude to this battle being fulfilled in the very last days, alluding to the battle of Armageddon.
d. You will ascend, coming like a storm: The armies of Gog would come against Israel as a great destructive power, something like a plague.
(Eze 38:14-17) Gog will come upon God's people Israel.
"On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes."
Thus says the Lord God: "Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
Certainly this includes the seven nations or peoples mentioned in Ezekiel 38:3-6 and possibly means more. (Remember, 70 countries turn on Israel, to split the property lines of Jerusalem).
- The Attack on Israel in the Last Days:
- A leader from the north (Gog), who was not an ancient enemy of Israel, will lead a confederation of nations against Israel (Ezekiel 38:1-6).
- He will be motived by his own evil plans and pulled by God (Ezekiel 38:10).
- It will happen in the latter days.
- The allied nations will come from every point on the compass, including Persia (modern Iran), and peoples from the lands of modern Turkey, Libya, Ethiopia, and perhaps Europe, Armenia and Germany (Ezekiel 38:1-6).
- Gog and his allies will come as a massive, swift, and well-equipped army (Ezekiel 38:4-6).
- Gog will come against Israel when they gathered back to their land (Ezekiel 38:8, 12) and when they enjoy considerable safety (Ezekiel 38:8).
- Gog will come against Israel when they are prosperous (Ezekiel 38:12-13).
- Other nations will watch and wonderful and how they might benefit themselves from Gog's conquest of Israel (Ezekiel 38:12-13).
- Yahweh will defend Israel and defeat Gog, and thereby glorify Himself among the nations (Ezekiel 38:16).
- This victory would fulfill the prophetic expectation of several previous prophets of Israel (Ezekiel 38:17).
One possibility is this battle to happen at the end of the last seven-year period of human government (the end of the tribulation) before the glorious return of Jesus Christ.
See the connection to Revelation 19:17-18 and Ezekiel 39:17-20.
This battle may happen as referenced by Revelation 20:7-9. Not all Christians agree on the specific concepts of God's plan for the future, but some of those who see the establishment of a physical, material kingdom of Jesus over this earth for 1,000 years think that the Gog invasion happens at the end of that 1,000 years, as Revelation 20:7-9 mentions Gog and Magog.
God's fury against Gog and a Great Earthquake (Eze 38:18-20):
"And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord God, "that My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: 'Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.'
This leads us to believe the timing is right before the battle of Armageddon, when Jesus ascends in Great Glory, and splits the Mt. Of Olives in Two! Every face will see him and every knee will bow, including the ones who pierced him!
Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel: One way God would defend Israel and come against Gog was to send a great earthquake.
All men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence: The great earthquake would humble man and bring glory to God. As mountains and every wall fell, they would know it was the hand of the Lord at work. (Men will hide in caves).
(Eze 38:21-23) God's judgment against Gog.
I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains," says the Lord God. "Every man's sword will be against his brother. And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord."'
I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed: Yahweh would also send disease and death against attacking armies. This would be a demonstration of His justice.
Flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone: The instruments of previous judgment would all be sent against Gog and his allies.
"The invaders are destroyed by earthquake (cf. Zechariah 14:4-5), by violent distrust of one another (Zechariah 14:13), by pestilence (Zechariah 14:12), and by torrential rain and fire from heaven (Revelation 20:9)." (Wright)
Jesus will be magnified and sanctified, and will prevail:
This overwhelming and obviously divine defeat of Gog and her allies would testify to the whole world of God's character and power.

Benefits of Employee Collaboration Essay
Within the modern workplace, there is an ongoing debate as to if traditional problem solving or employee collaboration produces the best results. Even though some people see employee collaboration as a waste of time, employee collaboration should be encouraged because not only can it benefit the company, it gives employees the opportunity to grow. When an employer encourages open collaboration with its employees in order to solve a problem, many positive outcomes can occur. In his article Improving Efficiency by Improving Employee Collaboration Brian Middle stated ââ¬Å"Tasks can be completed more effectively since individuals are concentrating on areas that they are well versed in and not in areas they struggle with.â⬠This thought process takes the pressure off of one individual to have all the answers to every problem in front of them. Yes, it is up to the person in charge to ultimately make the final choice as to how to handle a problem, but expecting them to have all the i nformation at any given time is not good business practice. Bringing together a team to solve a problem creates an atmosphere of individual and company growth by giving each employee an opportunity to succeed, and having a more effective way of completing the tasks. At my own place of employment, a lot of the decisions are solely made by one individual on a day to day basis. This individual, while he is a fairly good leader is in no position to make choices concerning my work. As required by the state I live in, in order to perform my duties as a Wastewater Operator, a large amount of schooling and licensing must be obtained. With my job, I must make decisions about what to do when a large amount of rain has fallen in a short time frame. The process, in my opinion should be a combined decision by me, the other operator, and the Town Manager. The operators should be able to give him the vital information about what would happen with each scenario, our professional opinion as to how to best handle it, and then discuss it. This process would take roughly 10 ââ¬â 15 minutes, and wouldnââ¬â¢t affect the overall plant performance. However, this is not the case. We are told what he wants us to do without our input, and this has at times led to bad outcomes. The mine-is-better habit seems to be the issue within our organization. Working with a lot of older gentlemen, I have noticed that any suggestion given to someone is immediately shot down due to egos. Instead of taking a little bit of time to review all the information from individuals with a more knowledgeable background on the subject, a decision is made from one persons point of view. Luckily, for all major decisions that do not need immediate attention; we have a Town Council who must put it to a vote. As simple as this seems it should be, there are some mine-is-better habits within the council as well. There are many routes I could take in order for my manager to overcome his habit of mine-is-better when making decisions. One of the approaches I can take would be to encourage him to take a moment to listen to what options we have, and how it would best suit him and the town to think things through. Giving him all of the information at hand, even if he hasnââ¬â¢t asked for it plants the seed within his own mind to consider everything before coming to a conclusion. The other option I can think of, is taking it solely out of his hands by involving the Department of Environmental Management. Having them simply explain to him that it is up to the operators themselves to draw the conclusion on what is best based upon the professional standing they have may help him realize that his way is not always the best way of doing things. The town I live in and work for would greatly benefit from open collaboration with its employees. Many of us our highly trained individuals, who take great pride in their field of choice. With so many different departments, no one person can expect to know how everything operates and works within the entire town. Many laws and regulations confront us daily while we perform even the simplest of tasks. Being able to talk to each other, to know how each decision made can affect the other departments and their processes can help us avoid unwanted extra paperwork and fines.

Caramel Architekten Discloses The Home Made Private Retreat Possibility
Caramel Architekten, the project leader of the displayed work private retreat possibility by Caramel Architekten explains, For the Architecture Biennale in Venice, Caramel's task was to design a 'refugee camp', using a vacant office building in Vienna. Safeguarding privacy, as in marking a place where someone can rest undisturbed by external influences, was the first and most important subject of "intervention". Starting with a minimal design repertoire the central criterion was that all elements can be rapidly dismounted and easily reassembled in a different location..

A conversation at work about living up on Box Hill prompted me to download my story published in Surrey Life 2010 and in Country wise Anthology 2010. As they say "the truth is out there"
The Beast of Box Hill
Box Hill is an area of outstanding beauty in Surrey. For someone fortunate to spend their life up here, the best time to appreciate the beauty of the hill is early morning or late evening. When the family picnics on the old donkey green have been packed up and the 4×4's have descended back down the hill to join the M25 home.
Standing one warm summer morning at the look out point, the mists were hanging low over the Dorking Valley and although already dissipating, they showed signs of hanging low across the landscape for most of the morning. I had seen this view many a time and it had become almost second nature to me. But this was the day I first realised just how easy it is to believe you know your environment so well and yet be so completely wrong. And how nature still has so many secrets to be fathomed. This was the day after I first saw the beast of Box Hill.
Eight years of living on the hill and I have only seen the creature twice. The first time I was driving back up from working in the vineyard down in the valley. The mists that had been hanging low in the morning were still suspended above the lower lying bushes but this did not suggest that anything untoward was going to happen. I had just taken the first bend on the Zig Zag road , suddenly a creature jumped from the bank side and stood in the middle of the road. I stopped and stared through the windscreen at what looked like a wolf. It had the same lopping stance as one, but I knew in my head it was not possible. This was Surrey and although Box Hill was home to lots of wildlife, a badger was probably the most exciting thing you would see. I continued to stare and caught its eyes, they were the shape of almonds and the colour of amber, it had to be a wolf. The long muzzle and the shaggy grey coloured fur. Was I so tired that I was now hallucinating?
Suddenly the creature lunged toward the other side of the road, and as quickly as it had come down the bank, it disappeared into dense trees, further down. I sat in the car staring into the foliage hoping I would catch another glimpse of it, but deep down I knew it had gone. I continued up the hill to my home. Just what on earth had I seen?
The sight of that creature remained indelibly marked in my psyche. I knew every each of the hill. I hiked out every chance I got. I knew where all the badger sets were. I knew when there were fox cubs down on the donkey green. I followed the flight of the bats nesting in the old unused fort. Saw the roe deer down by the old brick kilns . In spring I would take the riverside walk to see the new rabbit kits that were for a few days unafraid of humans. And watch the baby blue tits revel in their new found ability to fly. There would be no way that a creature like that would escape my notice. I had spent time tracking in South Africa and had been taught how to spot wildlife, how to spot changes in the landscape that would reveal a cheetah or even rarer a leopard. I had not noticed anything untoward up here.
The National Trust had sheep grazing on the open slopes and an animal like a wolf would need to eat and sheep would be its ideal prey. Yet there had been no reports of attacks. And no half devoured carcasses. That time of year – mid summer there were numerous day trippers to the hill and almost every inch would have been tramped upon, it would not have been able to hide. I reluctantly deduced that no, the mist had been playing tricks on me or perhaps tiredness from holding down two jobs had overtaken , yet its eyes seemed so real so wolf like.
Years went by and although I never forgot the appearance of the creature. I felt I would never see him again. The one autumnal day I saw him .
November was a glorious month for the fall up on the hill. I walked out one Sunday to clear my head after a rather boozy drinking session the night before with some friends. I decided I would take the long walk that could be considered quite a challenge , which consisted of Box Hill, Mickelham Downs and Headly Heath. A good five – six hour walk that would definitely work off a hangover.
Because the weather was so damp there did not seem to be that many hikers and of that I was relieved. I am very much a solitary walker. As I walked up Juniper Hill, my heart started to pump and I was working up quite a sweat. I paused at one point to catch my breath. Amid the profusion of golden and russets leaves on the trees a very cocky robin who was not flying south for winter flitted. He bravely sang his song, plumping up his red chest chirping out his little tune "I am the King of my castle, Get down you dirty rascals." His song hung ruby rich in the air . As he flew away I followed his flight and then suddenly, I could see through the russet colour of leaves a darker shape, an animal. I was immediately thinking roe deer, and crouching down as low as I could I crept nearer and nearer.
It must have smelt me, because the creature looked up, it was no roe deer, I stared into the amber eyes of a wolf. For a split second we both were motionless. This was incredible, here I was in Surrey face to face with what was most definitely a wolf. I just couldn't believe it. I gazed at the magnificent creature literally spellbound.
Suddenly the animal turned his body and with one agile jump was gone into the lower foliage of the golden beech trees. I stood back up to an upright position and looked around me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw hikers coming up the hill. Sitting down on a large upturned tree I drank from my water flask, trying to show my nonchalance as the two figures approached. The man and woman politely acknowledged me and continued on their way toward where I had spotted the wolf.
I made my self take in every tiny detail of my environment. The smells of the wet earth, the colours of the autumnal trees, the noise of a robin , the clothes the hikers were wearing as they disappeared up the track. Every thing even down to the mud on my walking boots. I confirmed that however strange the sight, it was no hallucination. I had seen a wolf.
As I followed the same route as the hikers, I looked down the slope and I saw a slight break in the landscape, a strange dark hump in the grass. Veering off the path I walked towards it, it was the partially eaten remains of a dear. I breathed in and out slowly. This confirmed even more that there was a strange creature out here and he or she was very good at hiding of that much it was obvious. Two sightings in eight years. Would I have to wait another eight years to see him again?
I prayed that he would remain undetected, that none of the other enthusiastic nature lovers like me would spot him. And that suddenly rather like the Loch Ness Monster, or Saskatchewan Man there would be wolf enthusiasts camping out with all their tracking gear and huge cameras. Desperate for a glimpse of the secretive animal.
From that day, my walks have been taken nearer to evening, when all the day trippers have packed up their picnic paraphernalia in their cars and descended down the hill. Or early morning when the dear are surprised at human footsteps. Would I ever get another glimpse of the elusive wolf? Somehow I thought no, not again soon, anyway. From time to time on a warm summers evening, walking back from the lookout post when the smells of wild marjoram and strawberries waft over to me, I hear rustling in the trees alongside of me and a low growl. I stop to peer in at where the noise is coming from, I see nothing, unusual. Sometimes the tail of a newt as he scuttles away under fallen leaves. I know in my heart the beast will only appear again when it is ready. For now I content myself in the knowledge that there is a strange wolf like creature living here and no one else knows about him. Yet……

All The Money In The World: DVD Review
It's hard not to view All The Money In The World without the fog of controversy that's clouded its admittedly quiet release ahead of the awards season in 2018.
The tale of the kidnapping of Paul Getty inspired by true events and through the lens of Sir Ridley Scott has been blighted since it was unleashed.
Wrapped in a furore after Kevin Spacey's JP Getty had to be digitally removed and was recast as Christopher Plummer following sexual misconduct accusations against Spacey, the film was further hit by a row over pay parity when Wahlberg netted 1500 times more for his co-star Williams in subsequent reshoots.
Interestingly, what plays out on screen in the adaptation of John Pearson's 1995 book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty is actually both sickly compelling and stultefyingly overlong.
For those unaware of the 1973 kidnapping of the 16-year-old Paul, grandson of oil tycoon JP Getty (Plummer, in a commanding and cruel presence from the moment he shows on screen) the story follows the back and forth between the kidnappers, Paul's mum (Williams, all grace and clipped diction) and the investigator Fletcher Chase (Wahlberg, solid and dependable) hired by Getty to return the kid at the lowest cost.
Playing like an episode of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, the film's strength comes from its performance of both Williams and Plummer - and a compassionate turn by French actor Romain Duris - rather than for the strength and depth of its story-telling.
A few flashbacks give some heft to the emotional backstory within, but Getty's particular cruelty feels surface-deep, even if Plummer's nuanced veneer bristles with intolerable cruelty and distinct inhumanity.
But the film's strongest is Williams, a non-showy turn that has both poise and vulnerability as the mother caught in the middle of a tycoon determined to stand his ground and a situation threatening to reek of tragedy. A few lip trembles here and there amid a distinctly controlled performance from Williams grants the film the emotional edge that it so sorely needs and shows once again, that she's an actress of fine form and prestige in whatever projects she chooses.
Ultimately, Scott's chopping back and forth in the story robs it of some its initial tension, though the suspense does build up at the expense of any true character depth - Wahlberg's CIA agent and subsequent change of mind is the worst served by the script and story choices.
In the final wash and when viewed away from what's clouded it, All The Money In The World could have used a slight cull and some tighter editing to ensure it keeps its vice-like grip tighter wound. It's a compelling, fascinating story, but bereft of some of its richer emotional edges, it teeters dangerously - and unfortunately - close to indifference.

Hi Katia,
I have already tried this before, it just doesn't matter. Except your HTML viewer provided in Telerik Reporting packages, all requests sent to Telerik Report Services (running on .Net Core target .Net Framework) will result in 415 error.
I have tried to use Postman, pure Javascript, Jquery, Angular, Asp.Net Web Controller and all failed with 415.......
This does not happen if I have the Telerik Report Services running on pure .Net Framework.
Could you confirm with the Tech guy and give me some solution on this?. This is quite essential for me to get a demo example working for my company next meeting

Welcome to The I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast. We start the podcast off doing a recap of round two of our March Movie Madness tournament. In the news this week Joseph Gordon-Levitt will produce and star in a "Fraggle Rock" Movie. Chris Rock is penning a sequel to "Top Five." South Korea is going to drop copies of "The Interview" into North Korea.
There's a new "Divergent" movie out called "Insurgent." As three thirty something year old males we hated it…well only Sean saw it but Josh and I have no interest in it. Josh is more interested in the next fan fiction story that'll turn into the next mom sex book.
Sean insists that Sean Penn could kick my ass…he's probably right. "The Gunman" is the new Sean Penn movie and it's as Josh called it, a movie. If you're going to the movie for Idris Elba, stay home, he's in it for three movies. Then there is a religious movie called "Do You Believe" that Sean bought. It's not the typical pandering piece of crap that keeps coming out every month. It's an honest movie that is a little convenient, but it's very cool about showing why somebody would have faith.
Our Undisputed Classic is the Robert Redford film "Three Days of the Condor." This movie is a great, smart CIA thriller. It's scary how accurate this movie ended up being. It is about as perfect as a CIA spy thriller can get.

Peter Berg #WetTShirtContest0
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Welcome to The I Hate Critics. It's award season so lets talk about the comedy of the year "Hercules." "Hercules" should have advertised itself as a comedy. This is a wanna bee "300" with no fun. "Lone Survivor" took a real life story and took it a little too "Ramboy." Then Bob goes on to wonder what every movie would look like if Peter Berg directed it.
Speaking of disappointment, "August: Osage County." It's probably good on the stage, but not so much on the screen. Sean's top two movies of the year are "Her" and "Inside Llewyn Davis." Josh and I can't argue with him. Both movies are award worthy. We had such a good time talking about these two films.
Our undisputed classic is "Amelie." This is a romantic comedy that is also an art film. Everybody I know that has seen this loves this movie and it surprises me that they love this movie, but it really is that good.
This week in 1984 a soft-core porn named "Hot Dog…The Movie." There was a wet t-shirt contest in it. Our contest this week is to come up with a movie that made it to the theater that includes a wet t shirt contest since "Real Cancun" not including "Piranha 3D."
Our trailers this week are:
"Kick Ass"
"Life Itself"

A new cycling anime called Yowamushi Pedal has just been released on YouTube! The anime series according to Wikipedia is released on 2008 as a magna(think of it as a comic book series) and now its on video.
According to episode 1, it portrays Sakamichi Onoda as an anime nerd who does not have the intention to join a sports club due to his huge love for anime. However, he is seen climbing well up a steep slope near his school with a market bike, and can even keep up with Shunsuke Imaizumi, a cyclist who have been training since young. How we ever feel when we are smoked or is amazed by some guy on a crap bike but yet is able to keep up.
Overall from the first episode, I think the developers have done enough work modelling the bikes, and equipment after some popular cycling brands around the work (I spotted a DA 7900 crank in anime in the opening theme and trek and scott! Obviously misspelled to avoid a copyright issue but the resemblance is uncanny) Waiting eagerly for the second episode!
The anime can be watched here . Cant wait for the second episode

Why choose a Green Roof?
Green roofs, also known as Eco or vegetated roofs have a wide range of benefits. They consist of colourful Sedums, grasses, mosses and meadow flowers which require little to no maintenance or fertilisation. Additionally, Green roofs are also very cultural and extremely popular in Japan.
It is generally accepted that there are two main types of green roof which are described as:
Extensive: Extensive green roofs are designed to reap the benefits that green roofs offer but with little/no maintenance and highly draught tolerant. Extensive systems can be placed on a low slope and pitched roofs roofs with up to 40% slope.
Intensive: Intensive roofs or "roof gardens" are at the other end of the scale and are often designed to provide recreational space for the buildings occupants. Intensive roofs are more popular in japan consisting of actual buildings built upon the roof.
The making of a Green roof
- The load-bearing component of the roof
- The moisture barrier
- The thermal insulator
- The waterproofing membrane (root barrier)
- The drainage layer
- The filtering layer
- The growing medium (substrate)
- The plant layer ( Sedums )

What crazy weather we are having! After a long and dry summer in 2011, when grass growth slowed enough to help us get on with other jobs, such as watering the new tree planting, it has swung in the other direction this season - being so wet we can hardly keep up with the growth rate. The warmth is there for sure, in fact it's been quite humid, but again this aids the growth rate, keeping us on our toes. The positives are there to be seen however, with lovely lush foliage and healthy growth throughout the grounds; the new plantings especially have settled in really nicely.
Time to wander through the grounds with a decent camera is always at a premium at this time of year, and photographs, those on this post included, are most often grabbed on my mobile whilst passing - please forgive those that are less than great! There are so many instances when I want to seize the moment with an image: an insect; a perfect bloom; shimmering reflections under the arch of a bridge - so many I could do with a camera hanging permanently around my neck. I'm so lucky, if a little frustrated, to be able to work in such a beautiful environment where photo opportunities come along often - at least to me! Anyhow, here are a few snaps with something of an update
|Adopt a Tree at Compton Verney
Painterly skies reach from ridge to ridge at Compton Verney, and on this day the sun beams down on the lush East Park meadow. Now enjoying its second year with a mown path, the park remains a haven for flora and fauna, and allows visitors a peaceful circular walk where seldom seen views to the mansion can be enjoyed, and where the scale of the designed landscape can be really appreciated. Unsurprisingly, I have little time out there, but when the opportunity arises, the insect buzz amongst the sward is very special and worth the effort. The flowers shine out from sward as though they've been sprinkled like confetti, and the butterflies flutter-by from grassy blades to brassy flowers. The meadow will remain lush for a couple more weeks yet, so if you are visiting do take a trip around the meadow, it is well worth the effort.
As the banks between the ice house coppice and the lake receive closer attention this year, to raise their manicured quality, some other areas such as the bank below the east park for example, have ever so slightly ran away with themselves. Nothing we can't conquer of course, but for now, the trimmed banks we enjoyed last year are sporting a tufty look!
The ice house itself continues to mellow and the extra trees interplanted amongst the mature Yews are establishing well. These additional trees are to retain a kind of 'cloak' around the house, which has been important for guiding bats to the house itself. The bats are once again visiting, but not roosting within the house, and the hatches are therefore proving their worth. Droppings are appearing on the catch sheeting in the base of the house, and after a few teething problems last year, the new lighting switch helps illuminate the ice pit.
Over on the West Lawn, the increased wildflower area continues to treat us with a succession of blooms, but for a while now, a nearby shrubbery vies for attention. Functioning as an evergreen shrubbery, with a majority planting of Prunus lusitanica (Portugal Laurel,) the usually calm green planting presently sports a mass of white, heavily scented blooms, which I thought worth recording for a change. Not generally given much spotlight, they are an impressive addition and shelter belt to the all important 'back' lawn.
A recent informal pruning may have helped, but whatever the trigger, they are amazing in their fluffyness and worthy of a toast or two. My last photo was snapped over at the childrens play area, and being but a few millimetres long, could be easily missed. On this day however, whilst checking through the play equipment I spotted a number of these ladybird larvae on the woodwork, enjoying the sunshine. Who would think they could change from this fearsome insect to such a beautiful one, and indeed be so beneficial to our gardens.
The season is flying by already, although having passed the longest day, it will be a while yet before we really start to see the shorter days. There's plenty to fill our days however, which is good, and there'
s much I want to achieve yet during this summer season before I can face the autumn. We'll be hedgecutting around the gardens before long, fighting to keep the grass under control, and spinning a number of plates to keep the show on track - I'll also be dabbling with a little grounds art next week, but you'll have to visit over flight weekend (7th-8th July) to see if it works or not! I hope you are all enjoying your gardening this year, and also finding the time to visit others for inspiration. If rolling parkland, shaded walks and lakes grab your attention, then why not pay us a visit? (Grounds tours featuring yours truly are 1pm on the first Thursday in the month - free to members and visitors!)
Enjoy your gardening!

A few years back Mikey Miller and I were hunting in Missouri. On the last morning of the hunt we went to a stand with conditions that weren't optimal, bad wind etc. We settled into the stand and said a little prayer thanking the Lord for letting us be there and asking him to provide for us if it be His will (say you haven't prayed that prayer in a deer stand, we all have). Just after daylight a nice young 10pt was headed up the hill directly toward us. At that moment I felt a little validated that we'd been able to sneak into that spot without spooking all the deer. This nice 2-3yr old 10pt came in stopped broad side at 20 yards directly down wind. We obviously acknowledged that this would be a great deer in 2-3 more years and let him peacefully pass. A few moments later I reminded Mikey that we had said our prayer and that if it was His will the Lord would provide. Mikey succinctly replied, "Oh, he's already provided, we're just too greedy to take it." I realized in that moment, he was right. How often do we ask God for something, he provides and then we reject/ignore it because it isn't the trophy or doesn't look exactly like we wanted.
Fast forward to this week in Utah, tough hunting conditions, mainly relative to timing & hot weather. Bulls not yet responding to cow calls and bugling at a minimum. We had 1 bull within 100 yards all week and that encounter didn't pay off. Friday morning we hiked up early, got on a couple of bugling bulls to no avail. We hiked over to another draw with really no good options remaining. We glassed up a few cows a couple hundred yards away but that was it. It dawned on me that it had been a couple days since we'd paused long enough to give thanks for the opportunities we have. So, we said a little prayer and continued glassing.
No kidding, inside of 3 minutes later we had not taken another single step and out walked this bull at 25yds. He never bugled, we didn't hear him coming, he just stepped out into the open. We were standing there with no cover, frozen. He immediately realized this as a situation he needed to vacate and I realized it as a situation I could not pass.
Slowly he made his way down the hill away from us. Slowly I put down my binos and nocked an arrow. He went around behind a bush and I came to full draw. He stepped out from behind the bush at 38.5 yards slightly quartered away (I mean, cmon). Having my pin dialed to 40 yards the arrow went right where I sent it.
I have a friend, Eric Stripling, who taught me a lot about God's provision. I've never met anyone who conveyed an understanding of God's provision quite like Eric. Eric has gone on to receive his reward but I think of him often and the example he set as a man of God who understood life was about more than the trivial things this earth has to offer. Now, you may say, "Grant, this is a long form rationalization for why you shot a small, young bull." No doubt, I can understand that. However, I can't say that I've ever been more thankful for a harvest. This one will always be a special memory and reminder of the Lord's perfect timing and provision in spite of my selfish, earthly desires. Good hunting ✌

|Q. What is the MOVE verb in Cobol?
|When you declare a variable in Cobol, the computer books and reserves memory space for you, to store data. Assume that, I declare a variable in my Cobol program GROSS-PAY.
The variable GROSS-PAY has a picture string 9(04)V99, it is six bytes in size. The computer reserves a six-byte slot in the memory for storing my data, as shown in the picture below. This storage field is identified by the name GROSS-PAY.
The GROSS-PAY variable is empty yet. Storing data in the GROSS-PAY variable can be accomplished using the MOVE statement. The MOVE statement assigns and stores data in a Cobol variable. It is a Data-Transfer verb.
The above MOVE statement transfers the number 1500.00 into the memory location GROSS-PAY.
A MOVE statement may also transfer data from one field(variable) to another field(variable). In the below example, the contents of the variable DEARNESS-ALLOWANCE are transferred, MOVE'd to OUT-DA variable. DEARNESS-ALLOWANCE is said to be the sending field, whereas OUT-DA is the receiving field.

|Level Five water conservation notice lifted
11 August 2017 - ADC - Ashburton District Council has now lifted the Level Five water conservation notice for the Rakaia water scheme, after successfully replacing the broken submersible pump for the supply.
The water scheme is now working correctly and residents are safe to use water for both essential and non-essential purposes.
"The Rakaia community has been very cooperative during the conservation notice and we'd like to thank them for their assistance in conserving water. The new submersible pump is now connected and working correctly, and we are pleased to report the notice is no longer required," Council Assets Manager Andrew Guthrie says.
Rakaia residents were put onto a Level Five water conservation notice on Wednesday afternoon after the submersible pump for the scheme broke down. The break down meant water could not be pumped into the system to service the town and Council quickly issued the notice while getting to work to replace the broken equipment.

Bath is a very old place, beginning with Celtic roots, then becoming a popular city during Roman times under the name of Aquae Sulis, which means "waters of Sulis." Sulis was a Celtic goddess. Bath was renowned for its natural, healing springs, which the Romans turned into baths that were sought after by many. These famed baths are still in usable condition today, though they are more for viewing than enjoying the healing waters. [There are separate baths available for the public.]
In the book, Wyrd, which I am currently working on, the city of Bath will play a relatively important role. Wyrd is a work of historical fiction set in the fifth century, during the Anglo-Saxon invasions, approximately 450-500. I received the inspiration and story idea for this book from the medieval poem called "The Ruin," which is partly about a person discovering this old ruin and wondering what could've possibly created it; the person thinks it might've been giants. It is believed that the ruin mentioned in the poem could very likely be that of Bath. Below is the poem and translation from the Wiki page:

This masonry is wondrous; fates broke it
courtyard pavements were smashed; the work of giants is decaying.
Roofs are fallen, ruinous towers,
the frosty gate with frost on cement is ravaged,
chipped roofs are torn, fallen,
undermined by old age. The grasp of the earth possesses
the mighty builders, perished and fallen,
the hard grasp of earth, until a hundred generations
of people have departed. Often this wall,
lichen-grey and stained with red, experienced one reign after another,
remained standing under storms; the high wide gate has collapsed.

many a meadhall full of festivity,
until Fate the mighty changed that.
Far and wide the slain perished, days of pestilence came,
death took all the brave men away;
their places of war became deserted places,
the city decayed. The rebuilders perished,
the armies to earth. And so these buildings grow desolate,
and this red-curved roof parts from its tiles

broken into mounds, where at one time many a warrior,
joyous and ornamented with gold-bright splendour,
proud and flushed with wine shone in war-trappings;
looked at treasure, at silver, at precious stones,

The poem hints at the theme of creation and destruction, and the significance of a person's footprint in this world, and what remains after he or she is gone. Essentially it all boils down to something to the effect of: what is the point of it all?
That's what I'm hoping my character is going to find out. It also delves into an issue I'm pretty much always addressing or exploring in some way in my own writing. I intend to do a more exploratory post on this particular subject, but a year or two ago I discovered, much to my surprise, that I often had characters who either were complete strangers in a new world, or felt like they didn't belong in their own particular world, or felt alienated in some way. As someone who now lives very far from their original home, it's certainly an interesting subject to talk about. Even more so considering I was originally unaware that I was writing these characters in my short stories and novels. Then I noticed it in one piece and proceeded to go through all my writings and was quite shocked at the result. As I said, this will be discussed and explored further in a future post.
While at the famed baths of Bath, I was also able to try some of the warm waters, for a nominal fee of 50p. I didn't find it that horrid of a taste, warm and metallic, kind of like the water that comes out of a hose at first on a summer's day. I was also able to pick up a great guide/history book on Bath and the baths for a good price, which will help me in my research.
For anyone thinking of visiting Bath, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. I traveled from London and was able to reach it in a couple of hours; there is also a train service available. Throughout the day there are a number of free tours offered that last about two hours and take you all over the town, and often to places you might not have discovered or thought to visit on your own.
Bath is filled with beautiful works of architecture in the form of churches and buildings:
And then of course there's the river and the view looking down upon it:

If the Opera Isn't Over Till the Fat Lady Sings Than Justice Isn't Decided Until the Last Level of the Court System Has Ruled
(This blog was originally posted on the Yahoo Contributor Network on May 1st, 2011. As of 7/31/14 YCN has taken down all of its content)
A philosophical question that has been asked for ages is if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise? I would like to rephrase the question as follows: If a hundred thousand trees in the forest fall how far away can you be and still hear it?
Yes it is hard to feel sympathy and easy to feel antipathy when billionaires fight with millionaires over how to divide their pie. However, in the end it's a business just like any other business and the fact that more money is involved doesn't change human nature. Two sides will fight not necessarily for what is fair but for the most they can get. Neither willing to show their hand or offer their best deal until who has what leverage is revealed and or desperation sets in. Leverage is where the courts come in.
As many of you know by now it has been widely reported that the lead attorney for the NFL players, Jim Quinn, has minimized Friday's order to reinstate the lockout instituted by the owners. His quote is that it is a: "Routine grant of stay and totally expected".
Yet given the media's response you would think Roe V. Wade was just overturned. Like a bad a reality show or Charlie Sheen's life, this off-season lockout is a story that the media has sunk its teeth into.
As for their coverage…
Question: who populates a good percentage of sports talk and news shows on ESPN, FOX Sports and talk radio? Answer: Former athletes and sports journalists that are fans of sports, who also work side by side with former athletes and want to interview current athletes.
Question: How do people who cover sports make money? Answer: By covering sports! So if a sport goes down, that can't be good for business.
Thus there are potentially multiple conflicts of interest in covering the collective bargaining negotiations especially when you factor in that benefits to ex players are part of the negotiations! This doesn't guarantee biased coverage but it does suggest you should look out for it.
Anyone with a high school diploma ought to know that typically between a plaintiff and a defendant either side will brag in-between rounds of court decisions based on who gets the favorable ruling. However, the media should act responsibly and not act, editorialize, or cheer-lead (like some are doing) as if it is over after the first ruling and between levels of the judicial system.
I wouldn't have expected the owners to cave on their position after Judge Nelson's ruling any more than I would have expected the players to had she ruled differently. The weird thing is from the outset, Minneapolis was always viewed as a friendly venue for the players and St. Louis for the owners.
The lifting of the lockout and its subsequent stay were nothing to get hyperbolic about. To paraphrase Miami Heat President Pat Riley, this labor dispute will get interesting when someone loses on their home court.
Until ultimate leverage is determined we are looking at preliminary rounds of negotiations. When the courts are done or as games are in jeopardy than the test of wills and negotiations will truly begin. That is when we will see who is willing to negotiate in good faith. Chatter before then is gossip and speculation. If it does get that far than bring on your wall to wall to coverage, bring on your hyperbole, and shine your spotlight on what both sides are willing to do and not do.
For the record… I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that when a collective bargaining agreement expires, if players have a right to strike, owners should have a right to lockout.
I say this while I agree with the players about keeping the season to sixteen games over eighteen, and I agree with the players that if the owners want them to give back money based on their finances then some degree of opening the books by the owners should happen. On the owners side I agree there has to be a rookie wage scale but given the short career expectancy of players there should be some combination of performance bonus and or opt out restricted free agency based on performance for the player.
And all the talk of a publicity hit and damage to the game is nonsense. In the end the game will be fine because people love it, they bet on it, there are twenty year waiting lists for season tickets for it, and the same media that rants about it will pump it back up once the games begins because that's what they do.

Gotta know fall is here, and it is absolutely my favorite time of the year! Here's a small list of things I love and look forward to in the time of fall/autumn.
- Baby Chewy's BIRTHDAY!!!: Yes, Baby Chewy celebrates his birthday in the fall, so he is starting to realize when leaves change colors and fall off the trees, he knows it's getting time. Earlier this month on the way to class, he kicked a leaf on the ground, looked at me and went, "Mama! It's my birthday soon!! Look! Look!" Needless to say we are now working on the fact his birthday is not "right after this day" or "in one more day" until I tell him it is. It's still super cute to see the excitement.
- Pumpkins: This will be the first year I get to decorate pumpkins and I am super excited to be able to do it with Baby Chewy and Big Chewy. I think it's going to be super fun getting our hands dirty, grimy, and covered in pumpkin guts. I also enjoy making the pumpkin seeds to eat during/after, so this will be super great.
- Apple Cider: I know, this might be a weird thing to look forward to, but apple cider, cold and nonalcoholic, is quite possibly my favorite thing during the season altogether. The crisp apple taste makes my soul burst with happiness and light. I can honestly say I smile when I drink it. Though, I am not a fan of the cider here, but the best cider I have had was made by the Amish down in PA.
- Pomegranates: Okay, so for those of you asking in your head, "Why??", the answer is because these delicious, succulent fruits only come out for a month and a half out of the entire year, and I look forward to buying the store out of them. I actually ended up buying about 10 when I went shopping earlier.
- HALLOWEEN: To finish off this post, Halloween is the best, best, best thing about fall. I love the spookiness, the movies, the candy, everything. It was always like this when I was a child, so I am not surprised that it followed me into adulthood. Honestly, it had to. Currently, Baby Chewy is going to be Chase from Paw Patrol and I am probably going to add to my Harley Quinn collection until I am at the weight where I can wear an actual HQ outfit.
What do you guys like about Fall? If you don't like the fall season, what do you like? I am super curious to hear. As always, if there's something specific you want me to write, let me know!
