Best Dressed
Oops, Lupita did it again! She wasn't nominated for a damn thing and she still stepped onto that red carpet dripping in 6,000 pearls like she was walking straight down from heaven and just gracing us with her glowing beauty. I saw her step onto the red carpet in her custom Calvin Klein gown and immediately tweeted, "That's the dress I want to be buried in." It was luminous, sexy, intriguing and elegant. Instant classic.
I think some of the subtlety of the color of Emma Stone's Elie Saab gown was lost with the flashes, but it was still one of my favorites of the night. I have a weakness for Saab's flashy runway confections and I had actually hoped someone might wear one of his acidic gold gowns. The bateau neckline is super flattering, the matching shoe feels both old-school and daring at the same time and her hair and make-up were ON POINT. She looks like she's glowing. It's her first nomination and it will just be more fun to watch her rack up more as the years go by.
Cate Blanchett is a true original, knowing just how and when to break some rules. Who else would pair winter-perfect velvet by Maison Margiela with summer staple turquoise and look like perfection? She also stuck to her role of previous winner and presenter perfectly. No stealing the spotlight, unless you consider matching a necklace perfectly to your water-blue eyes a distraction (and it's a welcome one). I also want to give her extra special kudos for not being one of these actresses who wears only one designer ever because they've gotten locked into some kind of crazy sponsorship deal that forces them to wear iffy gowns everywhere.
Most of us spent the weekend becoming very intimately acquainted with Dakota Johnson, so I'd say there was a little pressure to make sure her outfit delivered on the promise of her new stardom. Success! Her sleek Saint Laurent gown's bejeweled strap is such a lovely detail, her dark nails and messy hair are a great counterpoint and she just generally looked like the newly minted star she is. Now, if we can just improve her red carpet banter...maybe less time spent with her mom next time?
The moment I saw Julianne Moore I knew she had made sure to dress like a winner. Her sparkly Chanel couture was lovely, and looked VERY Chanel, which I appreciate. It's not my favorite dress she's ever worn by a long shot, but she won't be embarrassed by it 15 years from now. It's classic and elegant. Also, her earrings were beautiful and I was so touched by how emotional she seemed to be all night. Precious!
Rosamund Pike has had many missteps during this particular awards season cycle, so it was a delight to see her turn up in this perfectly tailored Givenchy red dress. It's just barely eked its way into my best dressed though; I do feel like I've seen it before, and the styling was lacking. Magpie me would always like to see a little more jewelry or a more daring makeup/hair look. Still, she looked amazing.
Jennifer Hudson's sunflower yellow Romona Keveza gown is amazing with her complexion, beautifully tailored and architecturally interesting. I didn't see her on the red carpet, but when I saw this picture, I thought the accessorizing was brilliant. She looks radiant and I bet she wishes she was wearing this when she won her Oscar.
This might be a little bit of a controversial choice, but in the battle of the sparkly tulle confections, I preferred the one worn by Luciana Pedraza (wife of Robert Duvall) over that of Jennifer Lopez. J.Lo looked great, don't get me wrong; I just get tired of nude frou frous and was pumped to see pretty coral. Also, this is a GREAT showing by the date of a nominee who happens to be a legend who might end up on camera a lot. Shrewd move, Luciana.
I flip flopped a few times on this one, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. At first, this Saint Laurent gown seemed a little like something Morticia Adams would wear to a disco, but then I started to really appreciate what the necklace was doing for the look as a whole and I do love a Halston-inspired disco moment. Also, I want to give Margot Robbie my most improved award; this is vastly better than her red carpet turn last year.
Good, But Not Ah-mazing
Reese is all about sweet simplicity these days, and though I can appreciate that, I'm also finding it sorta blah. This reminded me of a twinsie of her 2011 dress, which I also thought was a little boring bridesmaid. She looks very elegant in her Tom Ford, which seemed to be a subtle blue on camera, but it didn't feel Oscar-worthy (or particularly like something I'd expect from Tom Ford, king of sex).
Khloe Kardashian, of all people, was saying on E! that this color didn't strike her as "Oscars" and that this dress seemed like something you'd wear to a summer wedding. For the record, I love this color and Khloe is an idiot. BUT this Thakoon gown is missing a certain something that elevates it past your regular prom gown or sexy wedding guest outfit. Still, I appreciate Anna's efforts to play with color.
Jennifer Aniston's cream beaded Atelier Versace was va va va voom and had one of the best boob-area situations I've ever seen on a strapless gown. She looked super hot...just not quite enough going on here to land in my best dressed.
I was REALLY close to bumping Laura Dern into my Best Dressed list. Her sparkly pewter Alberta Ferretti is art deco and futuristic all in one, and she had fun with jewelry, which I love. I just couldn't decide if it was really special enough to be an Oscar gown, you know? Maybe I'm being picky. She's great.
My girl Oprah looked fabulous in her Vera Wang. I was feeling a little unimpressed with the color, though, but the fit is praise-worthy.
Kerry Washington also deserves some kind of award for reminding me why I used to love her on the red carpet before she started dressing like a crazy schizophrenic person. Her Miu Miu gown is packed with interesting details, from the embroidery and beading on the peplum, reminding me of a kimono, to the beading on the skirt. Her jewelry was also killer. The only thing keeping it off my Best Dressed list is that it still doesn't strike me as very special; just a vast improvement for HER.
Patricia Arquette has had a successful red carpet run, which is awesome. In the past, she's worn a lot of dresses that made her look either very busty or very stumpy, but this Rosetta Getty gown was elegant, made her look lean and classic, and was a much more interesting take on black and white than any of Reese's various gowns on that theme.
I'm On the Fence
I love Felicity Jones and I had really high hopes for her scoring a slam dunk on the red carpet, but I just couldn't fall in love with her oyster gray Alexander McQueen. It's not bad, per se, but it does feel like two separate dresses that would have been gorgeous individually. Imagine it as just a beaded sheath continuation of the top dress, or with an elegant satin top to the bottom. Don't those imaginary dresses look better? I'm a little pre-disposed to not like necklines like this, generally. It looks like it's choking her.
I have to always give Gwyneth kudos for wearing the unexpected and pushing the fashion game that much more out of its boring zone. Her delicate pink Ralph & Russo gown was a modern take on an 80's vibe and the rose sleeve is constructed very well. But on camera, the fluffiness of the sleeve + her blue eyeshadow + her giant earrings felt like a LOT of look.
Kelly Osbourne was gushing on E! that we'll see everyone wearing dresses like Marion Cotillard's Dior gown in the next year. I'm not really sure why. From the front, it's elegant enough and very French. The cutouts feel sporty and mod at the same time. But I also can't get the image of a laundry hamper out of my head and when she turned around...
I inexplicably didn't hate Naomi Watts' super sporty Armani Prive look, even though my friend Bret said it looked like overalls on top of a sports bra. That it did, and maybe even looks like something from a line of TLC-inspired couture designed by T-Boz. But it was weirdly working for me! I like that she takes calculated risks and she's very good at selling a vibe, like slightly goth girl at the prom.
Jessica Chastain's navy Givenchy gown was super meh. The cut and fit are great, and I can't entirely fault it, but it just reminds me of something you'd see on Raquel Welch or Sophia Loren...it feels a little mature.
Worst Dressed
Poor Gina Rodriguez got roped into wearing this year's "green dress" by designer Manon Gabard. These fashion challenges always sound so nice in theory, but always seem to be completed by designers who maybe aren't really ready for prime time glory. The color is super unremarkable, the cut is loose and unflattering and the fabric looks cheap. I hate to even compare it to a David's Bridal bridesmaid gown because their dresses are much prettier than this. Her hair also seems super formal and low-key at the same time. This girl is having a breakout year and unfortunately, this dress isn't going to make her a household name.
My first reaction is that this is the most understated Zoe Saldana has ever been, and thank God for that. Then my friend Bret reminded me that this blush Atelier Versace gown truly looks like formal Spanx and I couldn't unsee it. Change the color and we might have had a slam dunk.
Selma director Ava DuVernay seems to be giving the stank face here, and I can't tell if it's because her movie got practically shut out or because her Prada gown looks like a nun's habit redesigned for Vegas, as if the plot of Sister Act were told in reverse. That cut around her chest area is just so weird.
If this were based on dress alone, Gaga might actually be in my BEST dressed. Her sparkly Alaia was high fashion AND glamour and the skirt looked gorgeous from every angle. But her dishwashing gloves, as pointed out by the Twittersphere, are just too much to take. It's amazing how just that one accessorizing choice completely distracts from the construction of the gown. If the gloves were even just normal tight gloves the look would be 100% better. The glittery coral sticks in her hair, too...ugh.
Shut up, this is so ugly and stupid. I have a weird dislike for plucky old Chloe Grace Moretz anyway, so seeing her show up in a frumpy gown made from everyone's grandma's couch pattern in the 70s was just further validation. I LOVE pockets on a gown, but her insistence on keeping her hands in her pockets the entire time seemed insane. What does she have in there that's so much more delightful than being free to walk like a normal person? Is she sneaking candy? Is she squeezing some kind of stress ball? Is she making sure she still has all the junk that she apparently didn't want to put in a clutch? Totally weird. Kerry Washington must be so glad she wasn't sent this Miu Miu dress.
Oh Keira. This is a classic example of a runway yes that's a red carpet no. What looked romantic and pretty and fit perfectly in Valentino's Shakespeare and Dante-themed couture show just seemed like a twee wedding Pinterest board come to life on the red carpet. It feels more appropriate for her future baby shower than the Oscars.
Director Richard Linklater's daughter Lorelai has been serving April Ludgate realness on every red carpet. Everything about her body language seems to say she is profoundly uncomfortable and possibly uninterested in this experience. It's funny to me, then, that she would choose to wear such a sexy (and frankly trampy) Gabriela Cadena gown, when she seems completely uncomfortable in it. This feels like what the high school tramp wears to the dance right before she gets kicked out for smoking pot.
JK Simmons and his wife Michelle Schumacher are adorable, but neither of them were looking particularly great. His hat, while practical on a rainy day, seemed way too informal and her dress looks like a recycled formal gown she wore to a fireman's ball in the 80s.
When I first saw Nicole Kidman on TV, I asked Ashleigh if I liked this. She said NO. And in the light of day, when I can see that it appears her dog took a piss all over her Louis Vuitton disco ball dress, I see she was right. The red sash is frankly incongruous with the rest of the design and the raggedy hem is maybe supposed to be artful but just looks like a bloody mess. Her haircut was kinda cute, but skewed a little toward The Good Wife and even Alicia Florrick does fancy hair when she goes to a ball.
Octavia Spencer was famously well-tailored during her winning Oscar season by Tadashi, but I thought this Icecapades gown was an unfortunate case of ruching gone wrong. If a woman is amply blessed in the chestal region, you do NOT, I repeat DO NOT, add ruching across the chest on the horizontal. That's just rude. The sleeves also look tight and uncomfortable and my girl Octavia deserves better, especially after being forced to be Neil Patrick Harris' accomplice in one of the least funny Oscar gags I've ever seen.
Scarlett Johansson's entire Versace look seems to be a fashion representation and tribute to Ellen Ripley in Alien, combining the style and sheen of the alien itself with the tough girl haircut of my least favorite Aliens character, Private Vasquez. Her neckline literally reminds me of mold. Kudos on the fit, though.
Sienna Miller's dress is ostensibly not that bad but it's also far from Oscar-worthy. This Oscar de la Renta gown feels like one of the throwaway extra dresses you see in his runway shows right BEFORE the good stuff comes out. The tight bodice makes her look squished and gives her bad posture, and the bows came off as constricting rather than demure. It all around felt somber and not celebratory and she should sure as hell be celebrating because she was in danger of being forgotten and just crawled her way back into the spotlight in one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
Solange wore a Christian Siriano parachute fit for a modern dance tribute to Martha Graham and you almost have to love her for it until you look at the terrible things it's doing to her chest and just have to shake your head. SMH, Solange. SMH.
SOOO, do you agree? Do you disagree? Who did I leave out that you loved or hated?

Steven Spielberg is reportedly hoping to start filming his West Side Story remake in July 2019. The legendary director, now 71-years old, is showing no signs of slowing down in the later stages of his career. He just released Best Picture nominee The Post and global box office hit Ready Player One in the span of a few months, and he's actively pursuing another project to direct. He was set to prep Indiana Jones 5 for Lucasfilm, but that sequel has been pushed back to 2021 as Jonathan Kasdan rewrites the script.
The reunion with Dr. Jones is on hold for now, so Spielberg has been expected to turn his attention to one of the several other films on his plate. Among the possibilities were a Ulysses G. Grant biopic with Leonardo DiCaprio and Blackhawk for Warner Bros. and DC Films. One Spielberg vehicle that's remained in active development is his planned remake of the classic musical West Side Story, and it appears this is indeed going to be what Spielberg makes next.
Related: James Cameron Interviews Steven Spielberg
According to Discussing Film, Spielberg is hoping to commence production on West Side Story next July. While this isn't confirmation, it would make a great deal of sense, considering the aforementioned Indy 5 delay. Odds are, Lucasfilm won't be ready to start shooting that movie until 2020, giving Spielberg plenty of time to put together his musical.
Of all the Spielberg films that were said to be in the pipeline, West Side Story seemed to be the furthest along. Two separate casting calls were sent out in January and April of this year, as 20th Century Fox looks to find the lead roles. That's enough evidence to suggest the pieces have been moving on this one for a while, and with good reason. Spielberg is once again collaborating with writer Tony Kushner, who penned the director's films Munich and Lincoln. Both of those were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (with Kushner's screenplays on both also picking up nods), so Fox is obviously hoping they can replicate that success. Spielberg and Kushner are also said to be developing The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, but it appears as if West Side Story is the duo's top priority.
This has been a passion project of Spielberg's for years, as the director has expressed interest as far back as 2014. It's nice to see it's finally taking the necessary steps to get off the ground, and it'll be interesting to see what Spielberg (master of the blockbuster and historical drama) does in the realm of musicals. West Side Story was brought to the big screen back in 1961 and received widespread praise (10 Oscar wins – including Best Picture and Best Director), so it'll be a challenge for Spielberg to meet that high bar. But if there's anyone working today who can do it, it's him, and hopefully he delivers another memorable cinematic experience.

Testing of different configurations and a local search engine requires
an (additional) web server. My normal Linux development environment includes
the Apache web server with the standard configuration - which is
unfortunately made for a stand-alone single server. This means all changes
to this configuration would deeply impact my complete development
environment - a thing I rather wanted to avoid.
OK, let's have short glance at the internet resources ... quite easy to
do ... even SuSE's support database features a short article on this item.
Time to get to business!
Caution: The author takes no responsibility for any consequences that
my arise from the procedure described in this article. PLEASE, mind to keep
a backup copy of any configuration file you change!!!
My test system will consist of a web server which is locally reachable
and provides real name access. Setting up a DNS server is thus obsolete - a
few changes to etc/hosts are all I need to do. Additionally, there is no
need to bind a second IP address to my network device.
The configuration of a virtual web server means: Once virtual - always
virtual! Therefore I also have to reconfigure the default web server of the
test environment.
First of all, we're going to edit /etc/hosts - search for the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.100.100 machinename.local machinename
192.168.100.100 newname.local newname
ping machinename
ping newname
httpd.conf is the main configuration file of the apache web server.
In most of the recent Linux distributions it is located in
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf. Since we plan to reach our test system by name only, we have to tell
the server to deal with name-based virtual hosts reachable by one common IP
address. This done by adding this line at the end of httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.100.100
<VirtualHost machinename.local>
ServerName machinename.local
ServerAlias machinename*
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/htdocs
killall -HUP httpd
/etc/init.d/apache restart
rcapache restart
Again we add a few lines to httpd.conf, now with
slightly different names and paths:
<VirtualHost newname.local>
ServerName newname.local
ServerAlias newname*
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /new/path/which/does/not/overlap
There is one little thing to be considered when using a SuSE-based
system. Any time YaST/YaST2 or SuSEconfig are run (after the installation
of some additional packages) your manual changes to /etc/hosts
regarding the virtual servers are overwritten. There are to workarounds to
cope with this: Keep a backup copy of your modified /etc/hosts and
use it to restore your settings or change the CHECK_ETC_HOSTS
parameter in /etc/rc.config to "no".
This described server is everything but ready configured to be used as a
productive system. It is only for local testing. If you need a secure web
server, please use additional information. Also, we didn't discuss the legions of possible apache configurations.
Like always in life it's very easy to do once you know how :)In the
next part we will configure an IP-based web server as it is
used by web hosting services and we will go into the nitty gritty of
[1] Apache Virtual Host Documentation

While security integrators have become accustomed to offering cloud-based services to their customers, the same technology can be a major benefit to their own company.
For security integrators, there is no doubt that Software as a Service is changing business; in fact, using the cloud to enable access to data and to operate software applications from multiple devices over a shared network is becoming a pillar of successful integration businesses.
Synergy Fire and Security are an electronics Fire & Security company founded in 2008 by Steve Trassari and Gerard Ashelford. We interviewed the 2 directors along with Business Manager Emma Higgins, who has been with the company since the beginning, playing an active role in integrating simPRO into the business.
Independent Locksmiths & Security was started in 1971 by Michael McGovern in the traditional man-in-a-van style, with partner Stephanie taking care of customer calls and invoicing at home.
Today however, the family-run organisation employs 64 staff and is leading the security industry through their development of several brands under the one roof - bringing state of the art technology to the security trade in Australia.
This is their story.
Founded by Paul Sansbury, in 1994, Armitage Group oversees 5 divisions of various electrical engineering operations, and uses simPRO to manage them all with a single system.
After selling his IT business and taking extended time off it was time for Karl Gaines to take on a new project. Enter Garry. Garry had been finding it difficult to grow his security business, IQ Security and was therefore ready to sell.
After several discussions Karl bought in. The complementary partnership enabled Garry to continue excelling with his technical skills as Karl stepped in to organise and streamline the business infrastructure. As a result, in the last two years, they've seen triple digit growth.
Frank Bauer's, Proguard Protection Services has seen significant improvements since implementing simPRO in 2016. In the following story VP of Operations, David Divine and VP of Finances and Human Resources, Cheryl Bach outline the extraordinary savings that have been made since the software's implementation.
Frank Bauer II is the CEO of Proguard Protection Services in Aspen Colorado. The company has a total of 23 employees, 11 of which are in the field. Frank realized Proguard had hit a ceiling of growth. New infrastructure was required to lift the ceiling in order to continue building the company. As luck would have it, Frank found simPRO.
In 2016, the owner of BLUi Security, Boz Jovanovic, learned a lifetime of lessons. His company had just had its biggest quarter after five years of being in business.
It's not uncommon to hear stories from trade business owners learning the hard way what it takes to ride the roller coaster of profit and loss. Boz learned a lot last year, and he's come out the other side with a fresh approach and some fresh ideas.
Dropping in to see these Journey goers, you never know what news awaits.
Matt Harriden for instance has changed his business name (more on that in an upcoming update), Adam Bell was last seen getting back on the tools, now Boz from BLUi Security has evolved his own model of service delivery brought about by necessity after a string of unexpected events.
It was two years ago when Boz sat down with his wife and mapped out their dreams. They soon realised that if their two girls were to attend a nice school, if they were to own a house, two cars and travel annually the business needed to grow.

BP: Prudhoe at 155,000 bpd
BP began ramping down eastern operating area production at Prudhoe Aug. 6 in response to corrosion problems and a spill in the Flow Station 2 transit line. Prudhoe typically produces some 400,000 bpd from the eastern and western operating areas combined, plus some 17,000 bpd from Lisburne. BP said Lisburne is unaffected by the shutdown, as that transit line had been smart pigged and determined to be in good condition.
Cleanup of the FS 2 transit line spill is progressing with about 15 barrels of oil and 443 barrels of water collected from the tundra, the company said. Oil volume was originally estimated at four to five barrels; BP said the oil volume estimate is expected to increase slightly as responders continue to separate the collected fluids.
The latest incident report from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Aug. 9, said a patch has been placed over the pipeline rupture in the FS 2 transit line providing complete source control at the spill site.
BP said it is installing nine metal sleeves over sections of pipeline showing corrosion damage and has plans under way to mobilize a significant number of additional ultrasound testing personnel for the eastern operating area inspection program.
BP also said it has significantly increases in ultrasonic testing activity on western operating area transit lines and has completed more than 700 inspections in the current testing program.
BP has completed its orders for pipe to replace 16 of 22 miles of existing transit lines at Prudhoe Bay. The pipe will be supplied by U.S. mills with delivery anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2006, the company said Aug. 11.
Steve Marshall had originally indicated steel would come from U.S. Steel and Nippon, BP spokesman Neil Chapman told Petroleum News this morning.
But thanks to fantastic response from our suppliers and other suppliers all of our pipe will be coming from U.S Steel in Ohio and VM Stars mill in Texas, Chapman said. The transportation companies and steel companies have been extremely helpful.
Editors note: See full story in the Aug. 20 issue of Petroleum News.

|Monarch butterfly - Creative Commons photo courtesy of Wikimedia
A report published by the University of Florida showed that the number of monarch butterflies reaching their winter home from along the Atlantic coast has dropped by more than 80% since 2005. This report was written by Professor Hannah Vander Zanden of their Department of Biology and also appeared in the journal Animal Migration.
This echoes results published in National Geographic that focused more on western populations of the monarch butterfly, which also showed almost an 80% decline in their population. A third study by the researchers at the University of Texas-Austin showed similarily that these winged insects are in trouble.
I mention all of this because Michigan normally has a strong population of monarch butterflies. In fact, there are two areas in the Warrendale neighborhood of Detroit that have become strong habits for them. The Tall Grass Praire in Rouge Park is the largest and most strongly established one. Volunteers at the In Memory Of Community Garden at Minock and Whitlock Streets have also reported a growing population of these and other butterflies.
The fact that monarch butterflies - a winged insect that pollinates many other plants and enables them to continue growing - are in such trouble along with these two populations of monarch butterflies in Warrendale emphasizes, in my opinion, how important thee two programs are.
These programs are largely dormant for the winter but they will resume in spring, just in time for the surviving monarch butterflies to return to the Detroit area. While in Michigan, they will spend there summer here and hopefully lay enough eggs that to begin stabilizing their population.
The monarch butterfly in Rouge Park and at the community garden is, of course, one of the many stories that I will continue to follow in 2019.
Also, for my internatonal readers, may I suggest taking a look at "Protecting British Butterflies"by Chris Lee over on UP Gardner.
This post is a part of this blog's semi-regular Friday Focus series, which endeavors to highlight news and opinions that, in my opinion, don't get as much attention as they deserve. It's only because of scheduling challenges this week that my Friday Focus article is published on a Saturday afternoon.

Boasting a youthful and playful spirit, the single and the group have gotten mixed reviews from online fans, some of whom have expressed discomfort with the young age of the members.
The three NCT subunits include members from various countries, including Korea, China, Japan and the US.
After its first television appearance on Mnet's music program "M Countdown" on Aug. 25, NCT Dream will release "Chewing Gum" on local music platforms on Aug. 27.

Here's the real litmus test of an e-pitch: The "So-What?" factor.
You already know the elements, right? In a nutshell: Give your first name, a thimble-sized description of your industry, a credibility factor or success story, and ask an open-ended question.
Sounds simple but it becomes complicated when you come from your own stance rather than that of the person you just met at a networking meeting or—as if this really happens to more than a handful of people—in an elevator.
Here are some tips to help you pass the litmus test:
- Write down the critical factor—the pain your prospects generally feel.
- Respond with how your business solves the problem.
- Ask yourself, "so what?"
- Keep going. Drill down into the pain—because the first level of pain is rarely the real issue. At each level ask "so what?" until there is nowhere left to go with it.
THAT will take you to the customer's real issue, and THEN you can define how your business can resolve the issue.

In its 2017 report on the P&I Clubs, broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson asked all of the clubs a list of questions. Here are the responses of Skuld, Standard and Steamship to one of those questions. Tomorrow IMN will print the responses of the final three P&I Clubs.
Question: The P&I clubs collectively have racked up in excess of $5bn in surplus funds and together have reported profits for the year ending 20 February 2017 of close to $600m. To many ordinary club members this may seem excessive. What justifies the accumulation of surpluses at this level?
Skuld noted that each of the 13 Group clubs pursued its own strategy and business profile. It said that its own long-term strategy included targeting sub-100% combined ratios, which ensured stability and sustainability, and reduced the risk of unwanted additional calls.
It said that, in order to reduce volatility, enhance service and ensure competitive premiums, it had diversified into a wide range of additional marine products. These provided "a healthy income" and permitted the mutual business to run a higher combined ratio. Skuld's strategy was to maintain an S&P 'A' rating. It said that all clubs were aware that an S&P downgrade would be viewed negatively by owners and brokers. Clubs were also now subject to Solvency II regulations, which demanded higher minimum capital levels. "The board decides on an acceptable solvency margin, and surpluses, when generated, are channelled back to members as credits. This happened for 2015/16, and will be confirmed for 2016/17 at Skuld's upcoming AGM," said the insurer.
Standard Club said that P&I clubs had recently benefited from a relatively benign claims environment, with most recording lower than expected levels of medium and large pool claims. As a result, most clubs announced zero general increases at the 2017/18 renewal, and many gave rebates or returns of premium during the 2016/17 financial year.
But the Club also noted that, as recently as the 2013/14 policy year, many clubs reported one of their worst years for the number of medium-to-large claims notified to them, with Standard recording a combined ratio of more than 110% on that policy year. Less than a decade ago the global financial crash saw all P&I clubs record large reductions in their free reserves, with half of them requiring unbudgeted supplementary calls to maintain their capital base, observed the Club.
With this in mind Standard Club said that one of its main business goals was maintaining excellent financial security, "with the need to avoid making an unbudgeted call being a priority in its risk appetite and business strategy".
The Club said that, in the current difficult market conditions for the shipping market, members would not welcome unexpected and unbudgeted supplementary calls.
"As such the club aims to maintain sufficient levels of reserves to enable the club to avoid making an unbudgeted call in stressed conditions". The Club also noted that it had not made a supplementary call in over twenty years.
Steamship said that it was important to understand the factors which have led to the recent increase in surplus funds.
- The Solvency II regime had led to an increased scrutiny on capital held by insurers.
- Many insurers, including P&I clubs had seen back-year amelioration. The Club said that precisely why this had happened was a matter of some conjecture. It was possible that new technology had led to quicker and more accurate assessment of claims estimates, and hence a shortening of the tail. The Club said that the full ramifications for the calculation of IBNRs (Incurred But Not Reported) would be a matter for further discussion.
- Finally, the International Group pool and individual clubs at the retention level had experienced a low level of claims. "Many factors may have contributed to this experience. Whether or not this continues to be the case is unknown", the club concluded.

Cultural alignment is foundational to any organization's health. You know that putting a foosball table in the breakroom isn't going to resolve your cultural deficiencies. And you know cultural change doesn't happen in a boardroom, where you and your executives decide which core values to write on the office wall.
Plum's Solution
Quantify your cultural gaps to enact change.
Plum's Culture Gap Analysis provides deep insight into the gaps between your current culture and your ideal culture, offering important benchmarks for measuring organizational culture. Plum's 10 unique core culture values can be leveraged to spur success, support change, and align people and projects.
This isn't your typical employee engagement survey, which can be long, boring, and typically see a 30-40% response rate. After only a 10-minute survey, Plum delves into how individuals see the current culture, and how they specifically want to see it change. Not to mention, Plum's surveys see a 70% completion rate!
Plum's Culture Gap Analysis compares the core values held by executives, managers, and individual contributors to provide immediate insight into where different organizational groups are misaligned.
Culture transformation initiatives can take up a lot of time, energy, and money. With Plum, relax! Deploy cultural strategy with confidence, knowing exactly where your gaps are and what you need to do to align values.
Hiring for diversity is the easy part; how is your organization retaining and growing diverse talent with inclusion? Ditch the arbitrary "culture fit" and start hiring "culture add-ons" by clearly defining your organization's projected culture, instead of hiring to maintain the status quo. Protect your diversity investment with an adaptable and inclusive culture where no one feels on the outskirts.

SYRACUSE — Calvin Pickard thought he'd be seeing some glamour as a Las Vegas Golden Knight, but the Toronto Marlies are glad he's riding their bus.
With Garret Sparks exhausted by a double-overtime win less than 24 hours earlier, coach Sheldon Keefe played his strong netminding hand and turned to the NHL veteran in a rink the Marlies lost four times during last year's season-ending series.
With a sharp kick save against an early Crunch power-play and staring down a couple of breakaways later on, Pickard provided the needed encouragement on Sunday at War Memorial Arena. Toronto played a textbook first period on the road, then burned weary Connor Ingram 7-1 to provide a 3-0 cushion in the series.
"I'm glad I could step in with fresh legs," said Pickard, traded to the Leafs when the Knights unexpectedly added Malcolm Subban as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup. "It was settled last night that I'd play, I had a good rest and a good skate this morning."
Pickard's first career pro playoff win was also the Marlies' first on the road this spring after Sparks stumbled twice last series in Utica. Saturday's win had improved the latter's home record to 5-0 with a .949 save percentage.
"My mind was made up," Keefe said of telling Pickard he was in during the bus ride here. "Sparks did all we could ask and I thought we'd be doing him a dis-service. Calvin has waited for this opportunity. We had a bit of a demon here to conquer."
Pickard, credited with 20 of the Marlies 30 road wins in regular season and with a brief callup to the Leafs in December, made a calm save on a third period breakaway by Mathieu Joseph, which took the last of the fight out of Tampa Bay's affiliate.
Game 4 goes Tuesday night (7 p.m.), again in Syracuse.
The three star selections on Sunday were a no-brainer. The Marlies' all-Euro line of Miro Aaltonen, Carl Grundstrom and Andreas Johnsson had eight points and each scored. Johnsson made an impression at left wing with the Leafs this season, Grundstrom will be fighting to do the same somewhere up front, while centre Aaltonen hopes to fill the void somewhere if Tyler Bozak, Dominic Moore and Tomas Plekanec don't return.
Grundstrom was 0-for-7 shots on Saturday and particularly anxious to make amends.
"Sometimes the puck doesn't want to go in, but tonight I got one. We (three) had a good connection tonight. We play fast, too, that's the key for us."
Mason Marchment often talks about the vast difference between he and his father Bryan, making his way in the hockey world as a two-way winger while his dad was a hard-hitting defenceman.
Bryan, now a scout for San Jose, was also in hot water with the NHL on many occasions for low hits, while Mason was the victim of one in Game 2. The incident saw Syracuse forward Mat Bodie suspended two games by the AHL for clipping. Bodie perceived Marchment was too aggressive hitting a teammate and got a good piece of the latter's legs.
Marchment, who scored in the match, was not hurt and Bodie received two minutes. In Game 3, on what seemed to be unintentional goalie interference, Marchment was again stalked by Crunch players.
Mason was raised during Bryan's time in San Jose, where lack of strong minor hockey programs made him a late-blooming junior. He used a Leafs development camp tryout a couple of years ago to get a spot with the Marlies and recently signed a two-year entry level contract with the Leafs that will give him a higher profile at camp, especially if he keeps producing in spring. Saturday's goal, on a line with Trevor Moore and Dmytro Timashov, was his third point in seven post-season games.
"A good playoff for me would be a good playoff by the team," said the 6-foot-4 Uxbridge-born Marchment. "We have a great team, great goalie and a strong four lines."
Mason and Keefe have both noted that his skating under coach Barb Underhill has been his best improvement.
"His (overall) strength has really come along, (but) he has a way to go there still," Keefe said. "He knows what's required of him in terms of his positioning and that gets him more ice time and more responsibility"
The contest was just 31 seconds old when Pierre Engvall stumbled into a needless retaliation call against Crunch pest Daniel Walcott as they crossed paths to their benches.
But Pickard was ready and the Marlies' big-foot penalty-killers did the rest. After Engvall exited, Ingram let out a fat rebound that Chris Mueller buried and then Grundstrom burned off his Game 2 frustration.
The Crunch survived a full power play in their own end while one player had broken a stick, only to have Colin Greening make it 4-0. The Crunch was hemmed in a full minute by the board work of Mueller, Ben Smith and Timashov, before Erik Cernak finally clicked for Syracuse. Moore scored twice in the third, the Crunch running into a Marlies wall and defencemen such as Timothy Liljegren, Travis Dermott and Justin Holl firing stretch passes to open forwards.
The ECHL Orlando Solar Bears, Toronto's second farm team, were elminated from the playoffs in five games by the Florida Everblades in a 5-2 loss on Sunday. The Leafs are taking control of the ECHL expansion team in St. John's, Nfld., next year, while a team remains in Orlando (hopefully keeping those cool jerseys) … The Lightning advancing to the NHL Eastern Conference final means no reinforcements for Syracuse.

Some SoDakers are getting a little defensive ? The guys is simply disappointed.
Of course there are birds in SoDak and most are still wild (well the stats say that around 75% of your reported rooster harvest is wild birds) ...
I for one cannot imagine visiting SoDak to pay $150 - $200/day trespass fee (I usually have one or two of my kids with me), hunt overcrowded public land or worse, hunting road ditches. Quiet ditches and old section lines are great places - but would not be the sole place hunted if it was me. The best part of SD pheasant hunting is that it draws a lot of MN hunters away from their own "backyard". From my perspective (maybe goggles or blinders on) ... South Dakota is over saturated with nonresident hunters. Wouldn't it benefit most resident and nonresident hunters alike for the number to drop from say 80K to maybe 60K or less ??
In most years, Minnesota pheasant hunting is good enough that with a little work you can achieve limits or at least shots at a limit of birds for a few hunters - each and every time out. Group of 6 - 8 or 10 ... maybe on private land, but not likely on MN public land.

Luke 14:7-11
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places
of honor at the table, he told them this parable:
8 "When someone invites you to a wedding feast,
do not take the place of honor, for a person
more distinguished than you may have been invited.
9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come
and say to you, 'Give this man your seat.' Then, humiliated,
you will have to take the least important place.
10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place,
so that when your host comes, he will say to you,
'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored
in the presence of all your fellow guests.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and he who humbles himself
will be exalted."

The two Premier League sides clash in the June 1 showpiece following the conclusion of the domestic season.
Liverpool will be hoping to go one step further than last season after they were beaten in the final by Real Madrid.
And the Reds will be buoyed by having some extra options to choose from at the Wanda Metropolitano.
That's because a new rule change will see both Liverpool and Tottenham allowed to name 23-man squads.
This means Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino can pick 12 substitutes for the clash.
To add, both managers will be able to make a fourth substitution should the game go into extra-time.
The same rules will apply when Arsenal and Chelsea meet in the Europa League final later this month.
The extra bench allocation means Liverpool could give youngsters such as Rhian Brewster, Rafa Camacho and Ben Woodburn spots among the substitutes.
While Spurs could include the likes of Oliver Skipp, Luke Amos and Alfie Whiteman.
Harry Kane is also likely to be included despite being an injury doubt.
Liverpool boss Klopp is looking forward to the clash and is confident he can bring Europe's biggest prize back to Merseyside.
"We know each other pretty well, and that's it," Klopp told UEFA this week.
"But nothing else apart from that. It's a final and you have an opponent and you have to prepare for it, look at their strengths, look at their weaknesses, that's what you have to do. So that makes it no different [from any other final].
"There are no easy games. In the Champions League there are no easy games, so why should the final be easy? Certainly not. So far we've always used our experience in these moments, during every moment in our season.
"That's what we have to do. We have to play the football we stand for. We have to play LFC football. That's the plan, and then it will still be difficult, but it was difficult in all the other games as well.
"We know that already, so why should we think too much about it? If we are really at our absolute top level then we are a difficult team to play against, but we know Tottenham are as well."

"I'm running with scissors!"
Frasier is a vile, low-brow, crude, immature television sitcom whose humor derives from the star of the show, Frasier "Fat Bastard" Crane (Kelsey Grammer), wreaking havoc on Seattle. Typical misadventures include exploiting people's trust to get money out of them and deliberately giving out poor advice on his radio show.
Crane's rebellious antics made Frasier popular with young viewers, although it received much criticism from television regulators and the Christian right, who repeatedly attempted to get the program banned throughout its original run.
"I'm eating pancakes at a Seattle IHOP at 7:00 PM!"
Almost as shocking as Frasier is the character of Niles (David Hyde Pierce), Frasier's brother. Niles, whilst putting on the persona of an emotionally repressed homosexual, is in fact a sexual predator and much of the program focused on his ploys to ensnare the innocent maid Daphne into his twisted web of sexual deviance. This finally occurred when Niles left his wife-to-be on their wedding day and drove off with Daphne. The later series focused on his abusive relationship with Daphne, culminating in the birth of their child which Niles promptly sold into sexual slavery to buy more expensive suits. David Hyde Pierce was blasted by Feminist groups for his portrayal of the misognistic and abusive Niles and has been refused many high profile roles as a result. He stands by his decision to play the character, however, stating 'There's a Niles in all of us waiting to come out. Those who can't accept that don't deserve to watch television let alone criticise it.'
The show also regularly features witty one-liners and smug references that appear on a black background, referring to the events of the following scene. Over time, however, these became more and more overtly racist in tone and soon bore little relation to the actual content of the program. The now infamous phrase "Rights for Whites" recurred more and more frequently until by the Eighth Season it was the only message displayed during the show. When asked for comment, Grammer said "The show was so shit by that time very few people noticed."
Connection to Cheers[edit]
The character of Frasier Crane can be traced back to the lovable '80s sitcom Cheers, in which Crane was a regular at the Boston bar. Here, he would engage in banter with the rest of the barflies and even give free pschyciatric advice to those who requested it. However, as the series progressed, Crane became more and more frustrated with his pedestrian role in society and became lured into the mysterious arts of pretentiousness, a "dark side" if you will. By the eleventh and final season, Crane was almost beyond salvation, opting for a Martini or a Creme de Menthe over the usual beer, wearing a monocle at every opportunity, and meeting Cliff's dubious trivia with a curt "Hmph!" before continuing to read the Wall Street Journal.
In the series finale, Sam Malone attempts to change Frasier back into who he used to be with a zany Oktoberfest grill-off that blends the high culture of aristocratic Germany with the tastes of the Common Man. Competition between the two spins out of control however, and a fire breaks out in the Cheers bar, trapping the two inside. Crane refuses to call the fire brigade, stating that "to stay in the bar and immolate would be the gentlemanly thing to do". Sam is unable to turn Frasier and narrowly escapes, shouting "You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the higher classes, not join them!".
Frasier is eventually rescued, badly burned, and is put in the hands of Niles, who fixes him up with a face mask complete with breathing apparatus, which gives him his trademark smooth, baritone voice, perfect for radio. Crane becomes Darth Frasier.
Frasier's exploits[edit]
|Original airdate
|"Insolent Immigrants"
|September 11, 1993
|After hearing about an Indian immigrant's negative opinion about his radio show, Frasier plots his revenge. He manages to trace the man's location down to a news-stand, where the gentleman worked for a living, and after threatening the owner, Frasier scares him off and razes the news-stand to the ground. Frasier then dances around the fire singing "Burn Baby Burn" before giving his trademark maniacal laugh.
|"Frasier Grinch"
|December 19, 1994
|Crane hatches a mischievous plan to take money off some homeless people. On Christmas Day, he goes to a homeless shelter, eats a meal there and pretends that he can't afford to pay. In an act of kindness, the tramps gather what little money they have to pay for the meal, including an entire day's donations for playing the guitar on a street corner. Frasier then takes out his wallet, burns a 50 dollar bill in front of all in the shelter and drives off in his expensive car, while laughing like a maniac.
|"Beware the Greeks"
|March 25, 1995
|The Cranes visit the wedding rehearsal of their half-Greek cousin Nikos, a young man that Frasier tricked in being a juggler to have no competition for his keen "more impressive" medical degree. Before doing so he was first to mind-rape his Aunt Zora, head chef of a four-star Greek establishment and Nazi killer. Immediately arriving to the rehearsal the drank all the Champagne(with the inclusion of the French wine they brought). Drunk off their ties, Niles breaks the heart of his porn-star distant cousin Yvonne and having Daphne stab her with the nearest knife and dumping her in the garbage truck. Frasier then contacts Nikos's former lover and having them reconcile while he gives a speech, thus ruining the wedding. Frasier sings his theme song while Martin and Daphne destroy every tape Martin's cousin Eddie recorded during the family reunion. Frasier then says, "What is a boy to do"
|"Crash Course"
|February 21, 1996
|Frasier and Niles join a car-repair course in order to psychologically torment the teacher. After writing a litany of insults in French concerning the teacher's terminally ill sister, the pair are kicked off the course. As the credits roll, Frasier and Niles are seen accosting the teacher behind Cafe Nervosa before assaulting him and forcing him to perform oral sex on the pair. Niles and Frasier laugh maniacally throughout the abuse (although it later became apparent that this scene was unscripted and was a practical joke played by Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce on the actor that was shockingly caught on camera).
|"Roz in the Doghouse"
|January 16, 1997
|Frasier savagely beating Roz and forcing her temporarily out of a job. He then hires an poor inner-city black woman as her replacement. Mary tries to speak her mind during Frasier's shows but this just enrages Frasier, causing him to send a tirade of racist comments towards her. This deeply scars Mary and turns her into a nervous wreck, until one day she finally breaks out and tells one of Frasier's callers something that contradicts Frasier, causing him to beat her to a bloody pulp. She is near death when Kenny, the station manager, enters to offer Mary her own show. At this point the scene fades out with Frasier turning to Kenny with a menacing glare in his eyes. This episode drew heat for it's constant use of racial epithets by Frasier. He uses words like "nigger" and "monkey fucker" ad nauseum and the graphically violent beating scenes (these were later revealed to be real, and the actress who played Mary was reportedly on life support for 4 days after shooting wrapped up).
|"Smoking Gun"
|May 31, 1998
|Frasier's new station manager asks him to help his girlfriend with her smoking problem. However when Frasier sees that the woman is very attractive he plans to seduce her and have sex with her. He hides her cigarettes in his bedroom and when she goes in looking for them, he brutally beats and rapes her. The episode climaxes with the woman attempting to escape Frasier's apartment and meeting Niles at the door, brandishing a gun. He laughs maniacally while he watches Frasier rape her yet again before he himself rapes her. The woman then encounters the family patriarch, Martin, who has no interest in sexual relations, but beats her to death with his cane. The scene fades out with the three men laughing maniacally and discussing what to do with the body. This episode drew much attention from the FCC due to it's graphic depiction of sexual and physical abuse against women, including two graphic rape scenes. However the Frasier producers allegedly gave the FCC officials oral sex in order to keep the show on the air.
|"Sweeney Doc (Part 1)"
|December 16, 1999
|Frasier's most disastrous dinner soirée yet, this time held at Niles' apartment, take a turn for the worse with Frasier savagely beating a snooty wine club member over a trivial remark made at the expense of his signature chanterelle sauce. Panicking, and left without an entrée due the damage caused by the fight, Crane juliennes the man and hides the remains in a vat of gourmet seasonal chili Niles had been stewing for months. As the rest of the guests arrive, Daphne unknowingly serves the macabre meal while Frasier and Niles are forced to juggle an increasingly complex web of lies and misdirection to keep guests from entering the blood-streaked kitchen, wondering about the missing wine club member, or discovering that Roz is not actually reclusive fashion designer Minola DeFranc (in an unrelated subplot).
|"Sweeney Doc (Part 2)"
|January 8, 2000
|The dish proves a huge hit in the dining room, but when an obese, despised heiress (whose seat on the Seattle Opera Board Frasier has long-coveted) discovers the grisly scene one room over, Frasier hatches a plan to systematically do in a number of his bitter rivals while simultaneously gaining popularity among well-connected socialites by continuing to host upscale dinners centered around the popular recipe. He silences the heiress with a poison dart from an ornamental tribal blowgun while Niles ushers out the rest of the guests, and the two begin making preparations for future dinners featuring more of their newly-dubbed "Chili Con Crane".
|"Sweeney Doc (Part 3)"
|January 15, 2001
|The massive network of lies eventually comes crashing down in the third act when the entire Seattle Epicurean Society, drawn by Eddie's barking, witnesses a psychiatric rival of the Cranes' stagger from Frasier's kitchen impaled by an antique shrimp skewer. As the victim collapses before he can name his attacker, a quick-thinking Frasier's passionate, three-minute long speech (filled with showy but false deductive reasoning) is able to direct all suspicion toward his nemesis Cam Winston. The episode ends with Winston being carted away by police, screaming revenge in front of the terrified dinner guests as Frasier devilishly savors the last bite of his meal.
|"No Sex Please, We're Skittish"
|June 28, 2002
|A very uncomfortable tale creates controversy when Frasier immediately suspects Roz's (following her coming from the hospital) new boyfriend of being more homosexual than his real father. This leads Roz to try to accuse Frasier of being intolerant and a stereotype, so he declares revenge by not inviting her to a party his gay friend Alistair, played by Patrick Stewart (whom Frasier pretended to be gay for so he could be friends) later Frasier tells him he is not gay, this causes him to commit suicide.
|"Frasier vs. Martin and the 8th Commandment"
|September 8, 2003
|Frasier and Martin are at odds over whether or not to buy digital cable. Frasier hatches a plot to get his father to agree with him. Frasier proceeds to seduce Martin's new girlfriend, whilst his father remains ignorant at a low-quality play, the tickets to which Frasier stole from a poor man who spent his life's savings to buy, in order to make a gift for his family. Frasier then has sex with his father's girlfriend, video-tapes it, uses software to super-impose his brother's face over his own, and then mails the tape to his father. His father proceeds to disown Niles, and Frasier takes all his worldly possessions, blaming it on the foreign men that drove the moving truck. He then sits down on his couch, his father screaming hysterically at his girlfriend from the other room. We see a fade out shot of his father brutally beating his girlfriend, and his maid when she enters the room, and we hear Frasier laughing maniacally.
|"Goodnight, Seattle"
|April 20, 2004
|Martin and Frasier bicker over their 11-year "anniversary". Frasier decides to drive sweet-natured Martin out of the house by hurling his favorite chair over the balcony (this scene was filmed on-location in a Seattle hotel; a mother of three was killed by the falling recliner). When this fails, Frasier drowns Martin's dog Eddie in his own en-suite toilet, and leaves the canine corpse in Martin's bed. When Martin still remains committed to sticking by his troubled son, Frasier dresses as a murderous clown with the intention of giving his father a fatal heart attack. This backfired when Martin's actor John Mahoney, who had not been informed, had a genuine heart attack on-set. The producers wished to rush Mahoney to hospital but Grammer refused, insisting that it was for the integrity of the show that the cameras keep rolling. He then used this extra screen time to read from his upcoming autobiography/political manifesto, My Struggle. Mahoney dragged himself to a phone booth where he rang for an ambulance, and narrowly avoided death.
David Hyde Pierce was blasted by feminist groups for his portrayal of the misogynistic and abusive Niles, and has since been refused many high-profile roles as a result. Though in interviews he blames his drixobenzometapetramine addiction on his character's horrific behavior, he stands by his decision to play Niles, stating "There's a little Niles in all of us just waiting to come out. Those who can't accept that don't deserve to watch television, let alone criticize it."
John Mahoney, who played Frasier's dad Martin, was so appalled by the racist message of the series that he tried to leave several times. He was contractually obliged to complete all eleven seasons, however, and remained on the series after the producers threatened his loved ones. As a result, he rarely speaks in interviews about his time on Frasier.
John Mahoney, who played Frasier's father Martin, often defended the shows racist undertones, and frequently ad-libbed lines to make the ethnic extras and guest stars more uncomfortable. Mahoney also managed to work his own sexually deviant behaviour into the show on a regular basis, preying on young extras, getting them recurring parts on the show, and proceeding to sexually and psychologically abuse them on camera. Jane Leeves, who played Daphne, one of Mahoney's most frequent victims, was a constant defender of Mahoney in interviews, though this was generally accepted to be a case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Jane Leeves, who played Daphne, was often the victim of cruel on-set pranks from Grammer, such as putting starved rats in her costume and setting fire to her hair, which forced her to cut her hair unattractively short. She came down with a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome, however, and remains a close friend of Grammer's to this day.
Peri Gilpin, who played Roz Doyle, is today a feminist activist because of the abuse she received on the show, such as constant tirades of sexist remarks in nearly every episode, the aforementioned beating which put her in hospital, and the occasional unsimulated rape scenes. She often sexually serviced Grammer and Hyde Pierce for payment, before her 1999 arrest for protitution. After that she attempted to clean up her act, only offering oral sex.
Rather than being played by one single dog, hundreds of thousands of Eddies were bred in a specially-adapted warehouse for the show. The cruel conditions in which this was done were famously exposed by Fox News in its piece "Frasier Dog Factory". Series producer David Angell defiantly said on Fox, "These things don't mean anything to us. We don't even see them as animals. We call them units, and I'm afraid we need to get through at least fifty units a day to keep Frasier fresh and funny." This incident led to PETA boycotting the show for many years, and Grammer had many attempts on his life by animal rights activists.
Frasier and Niles' mother died before the show's events began. This was added to the show when the actress supposed to play their mother died mysteriously weeks before shooting began on season one. Grammer has denied any involvement in interviews, attributing her death to a "tragic dance accident".
Despite union regulations, Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce insisted that all alcohol the characters drink be real instead of a prop. This proved trying for sherry-swilling or wine-tasting scenes, as the actors would begin to slur their lines or forget them completely after multiple retakes. Grammer in particular was an unpredictable drunk, occasionally improvising hilarious moments that made it to air, but often becoming belligerent and setting production behind schedule by days.
Grammer and Hyde Pierce insisted that all the alcohol drunk on the show was real, resulting in the two lead actors stumbling through most takes in a perpetual state of inebriation. Much of the show ended up being unscripted, with Grammer and Hyde Pierce unable to read their lines, opting instead to commit various unorthodox and frequently violent acts.
Each mention of an obscure wine, literary work, or piece of classical music contains a hidden reference to racial topics. For example, while dining at a fancy restaurant, Frasier is often seen ordering a bottle of 1982 Château Élire Le Pen, before discussing the delights of Heydrich's enchanting opera, Der herrliche Völkermord, While sipping his afternoon latte, Niles often reads The Turner Diaries by William Luther Pierce.
Hurdles and scandals[edit]
The episode "Fraternal Schwinns", which involves the brothers participating in a KACL charity bike-a-thon, was ruined by the actors being so plastered during filming that neither could ride for more than a few feet, and had to be re-written at the last minute to include a subplot about them never having learned to ride. The most infamous moment occurred during the Valentine's Day episode when what would've been a classic scene of Niles ironing a pair of slacks for a date spun completely out of control, with the inebriated Hyde-Pierce cutting himself, accidentally setting the couch ablaze and eventually passing out on-camera. In a later episode where Frasier hosted a Halloween party that Niles attended dressed as the boys' father Martin, Hyde Pierce imbibed so much beer that he eventually launched into a tirade of unscripted abuse directed at John Mahoney himself.
After disgust at an episode of Frasier when David Hyde Pierce smashes the window of an art gallery, Hyde Pierce and Grammar were both arrested and put on trial, when Grammar said a rude word at the supreme court, Hyde Pierce was released and Grammar was taken to prison for three years. From seasons 3-6 Frasier was played by Grammar look-alike Jay Leno. This story was hidden from the press for 19 years.
One of the creators, David Angell, was killed in 9/11. It was later revealed that David Hyde Pierce and Kelsey Grammer were involved in his death, in ways such as paying David $1000 to get on that particular plane. Grammer used his immeasurable wealth to stop this getting out.
During the last seasons of the show, Niles and Daphne finally became a couple. This was planned as a storybook romance, but David Hyde Pierce's on-set drunkenness and violent behavior forced hasty rewrites. Niles was soon regularly beating his beloved Daphne while Frasier distracted their father by dangling his dog over the balcony. An ongoing storyline in the final season was Daphne's unplanned pregnancy, occurring after Niles drunkenly raped her. This story arc ended when Niles pushed her down the stairs, and Frasier ran in to kick her in the stomach for good measure.

Hi I'm Elsi, an English Lit & Creative Writing grad from Surrey University. After finishing in July of 2015 and having had the most ridiculously fun 4 years, I quickly applied to a temp agency and spent a few months working at a law firm before finding a job in Online Marketing which I've loved. The ultimate motivation to find myself these jobs came from a desire to take a gap year as soon as I could – something I've been nattering on about for the last two years. And here I am doing it and writing about it!
My journey began on the 23rd February and will sadly come to an end on the 9th August 2016 in Bogota, Colombia. So far it's been the most empowering, inspiring and incredible experience of my life and has only sparked my desire to explore more of the world and its many cultures.
Prior to this trip, I was not a stranger to going abroad after having done family road-trips in the USA, a somewhat challenging 3 week expedition in the Arctic and visited various countries in Europe; most recently Croatia which I absolutely fell in love with. But backpacking is very new to me and my aim is to share whatever I find, love, hate and do with the aim to inspire and even help a few of you too!
Of course I've tried to save up for this trip, but it's been difficult to stay on track and I've been doing this on a budget of roughly £1000 per month. If I can make my way through Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Colombia on a few pennies then I want to share the ins and outs of how I achieved it for anyone looking to do the same.
This is my first blog so I do hope at least one of my posts captures your interest and perhaps provides some inspiration and useful information for travellers like myself.

I almost never get a chance to paint a miniature these days. That sounds a little crazy, given that I spend around 16 hours a day painting miniatures nowadays. :-)
What I mean is that I never get the chance to pull out one of the many fun little Reaper figures I have collected and paint the darn thing. This is one of those times! I wanted to experiment some more with flow imnprover, mixing it with various colors, mediums, etc., to see what would happen.
It was very fun!
