Superheroes have long been a staple of entertainment, with many actors seeking out opportunities to take on one of the world's most well-known heroes, since some movies can make well over $1 billion worldwide during their theatrical run.
Over the last few years especially, superheroes have also made their way to television, with superhero shows like Arrow and The Flash finding huge audiences. Naturally, given their strong track record and the lucrative contracts that often accompany them, it isn't surprising to see many actors line up in hopes of landing such roles.
That said, history has shown that many things can easily go wrong and turn a high-potential superhero flick into a box-office bomb. While there can be multiple factors that lead to a film failing, the most common problems often come from poor writing, embarrassing CGI, bad actor selection, and cramming too much material into one movie.
However, one of the more noticeable issues is when an actor struggles to build chemistry with his or her fellow cast members. When that happens, it could forever leave a mark on that actor's resume and halt the progression of a franchise in its tracks.
Here are the 15 Superhero Actors Who Had No Chemistry With Their Cast Members.
15 George Clooney in Batman and Robin
After Tim Burton's successful run with 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns, Joel Schumacher took the helm. The results were disastrous. While Batman Forever was palpable, Batman & Robin quickly became known as one of the worst superhero films of all time.
Sadly, much of the negativity surrounding Batman & Robin was focused on George Clooney's portrayal of the Dark Knight. While highly respected in other roles, Clooney failed to capture the essence of Batman's mystique and struggled to connect with fellow cast members Chris O'Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, and Uma Thurman.
The result was a film that would cause Batman to hide away from the big screen for nearly a decade, until Christopher Nolan revitalized the character in 2005.
14 Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk
Edward Norton has a strong track record of impressive roles. American History X and Primal Fear were critical darlings, due largely to Norton's skillful acting, as both performances earned him an Oscar nomination. Norton, however, was not impervious to failure, as evidenced in this first superhero role.
Norton's role as Bruce Banner in 2008's The Incredible Hulk was devoid of any real emotion or meaningful connection with co-star Liv Tyler. Both Norton and Tyler missed the mark and seemed to just be putting in the time, ruining the immersion for movie-goers worldwide. The poor showing led to Norton being replaced by Mark Ruffalo in Hulk's next on-screen appearance.
The Fight Club actor has mostly recovered from his fledgling moment as the ground-smashing Hulk, but it will likely be a while before the decorated actor takes on another superhero role.
13 Finn Jones in Iron Fist
After the success of Daredevil and Luke Cage, Marvel fans were excited for another lesser-known superhero to take the stage when Netflix announced Iron Fist. However, those hopes and dreams were dashed when the show launched on the streaming service. Iron Fist limped through its first season, receiving mediocre reviews from both critics and viewers.
While there were a handful of issues with the show, it was Finn Jones' acting as Danny Rand that reaped the most criticism. Jones struggled to develop any real chemistry with the rest of the Iron Fist cast, leading to an uninspired experience that failed to live up to expectations.
While Jones upped his game in The Defenders, he still has much to learn when it comes to developing on-screen connections with his co-stars.
12 Jennifer Lawrence in X-Men: First Class
Thanks to the global success of the Hunger Games franchise, Jennifer Lawrence quickly became a household name. However, she had already found success with a previous franchise. Lawrence was first cast as Mystique, the blue skinned shape-shifter in 2011's X-Men:First Class.
Where James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender captured the hearts and minds of viewers, Lawrence's efforts fell flat. She was unable to really connect with her co-stars, and it hampered her efforts as Mystique. While the character is meant to be a little isolated, Lawrence failed to fulfill on the character's name and struggled with any attempt to add intrigue and charisma.
Hopefully, her recent roles in other films have provided a bit of additional training that Lawrence can bring to Mystique, in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
11 Jesse Eisenberg in Batman v Superman
On occasion, an actor will take a well-known role and add some new flare to it. While some changes are necessary in order to provide a fresh take on a well-known superhero or villain personality, it doesn't always work.
Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luther in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, was unfortunately an example of changes going wrong. While eccentric, his performance came off as brash and annoying. This was compounded by the fact that Eisenberg was unable to really click with his cast mates.
Whether you love or hate Eisenberg's performance, you can't deny that the actor was fully committed to the role. Unfortunately, it just didn't mesh with what his co-stars were doing, and is one of the reasons for film's constantly shifting tone.
10 Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider
Nicholas Cage isn't well known for being the most versatile of actors, so there were already very low expectations when he was cast as Ghost Rider in 2007. On paper, the casting of Cage as Johnny Blaze could have worked, as he was well known for his action roles of the '90s, appearing in such movies as Con Air and Face/Off.
While the overall character wasn't very strong, it was Cage's lack of chemistry with co-star Eva Mendes that brought about the most disappointment.
With Cage involved in a number of projects right now, and the poor reviews of Ghost Rider and its sequel, it's likely superhero fans won't see Cage join the MCU, DCEU, or any other hero universe on the horizon. This is probably for the best for everyone involved.
9 Ben Affleck in Daredevil
When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, many DC fans were cautious due to Affleck's lackluster portrayal of Daredevil. For those who remember, Affleck's portrayal was devoid of any ability to connect with the movie's other characters.
A supporting cast that included Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, and Michael Clarke Duncan seemingly wasn't enough to make this movie a hit. Ironically, Affleck has said that it was on this set that he fell in love with his now ex-wife Garner, but you'd never know it from watching this movie.
Sadly, Affleck's struggles have spilled over into his efforts as Batman, with some criticizing his role for being too stiff and lacking any kind of emotional connection with both his co-stars.
8 Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3
For many, Spiderman 3 was a horrible train-wreck of a film that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Much of the criticism that the movie has received revolves around the questionable acting from the main characters, including Topher Grace, who joined the cast as the infamous Venom.
Grace's efforts to stand out were easily dismissed, as he was unable to connect on screen with his cast-mates. Nearly every scene that Grace shared with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst was a letdown, with no visible chemistry.
It was a bit of a surprise, considering how well Grace had connected with co-star Laura Prepon in That '70s Show. Perhaps, as most fans voiced at the time, Grace was just completely miscast for the role of Eddie Brock.
7 Jessica Alba in Fantastic Four
One of the most important aspects of Sue Storm is her ability to connect with each member of the Fantastic Four in different, but meaningful ways. There's seemingly no relationship between Sue and her brother, Johnny Storm, played by Chris Evans.
This lack of chemistry extends to her main love interest, Reed Richards, who was played by Ioan Gruffudd. Their relationship is unnecessarily forced. Why did they need to get married? Everyone knew that a sequel was coming and they still just had to add in a cringeworthy proposal at the end of the movie.
This actually comes down to a writing issue. Alba is never allowed to flourish as her own character, as she is forced to take the back seat to the two male leads.
6 Eric Bana in Hulk
Before Mark Ruffalo took over, the Hulk was a bit of a cursed role. Eric Bana appeared as the on-screen green machine before Norton had taken the role.
While the overall production of Hulk could have used a handful of revisions, this doesn't excuse the lack of chemistry between the Australian actor and his co-stars.
To be fair, neither Jennifer Connelly nor Sam Elliott put up much of an effort to meet viewer expectations, but since Bana played the main role, it really was up to him to carry the cast.
Fortunately, the MCU found a better fit for the role of Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk by the time the franchise took off and developed into the multi-billion dollar powerhouse it is today.
5 Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange
After his impressive portrayal as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series Sherlock, it wasn't difficult to see Benedict Cumberbatch playing a self-centered jerk in Doctor Strange.
However, Cumberbatch does so well at being internally focused, that he is unable to fully connect romantically with co-star Rachel McAdams. While this seems like an appropriate character choice, it's obvious that Cumberbatch and McAdams were supposed to hit it off.
Fortunately for Cumberbatch, the rest of his efforts as Doctor Stranger were praised by fans and critics, so there's little doubt that the British actor will maintain his position as the mystical Marvel physician. Hopefully, he'll be able to better connect with McAdams and other co-stars in the future.
4 Will Smith in Suicide Squad
As the DCEU experienced a mediocre start, many fans were hoping that 2016's Suicide Squad would turn things around and give the franchise the lift it needed. While Suicide Squad was financially successful, it was critically panned despite an all-star cast and plenty of hype.
One of the most notable shortcomings was Will Smith's part as Deadshot. The actor was already trying to improve his credibility after getting mixed reviews for Focus and After Earth. Sadly, Suicide Squad didn't do much to help in that department.
To be fair, almost none of the cast was able to develop meaningful connections on screen, with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn being the one exception. It felt like Smith couldn't ever fully invest in Deadshot, which kept him from developing any chemistry with both his co-stars or the audience.
3 Henry Cavill in Man of Steel
In the minds of many Superman fans, Clark Kent simply isn't whole without Lois Lane by his side. When Amy Adams was cast alongside Henry Cavill as the iconic couple in Man of Steel, many fans were excited with the casting. Unfortunately, the result was lacking any romantic connection between the two, leaving a hole in the story.
Unlike the memorable show Lois & Clark, which made the relationship between the two characters a focal-point of the story, Man of Steel instead focused on Superman's roots. This unfortunately moved any romantic storyline to the back burner.
Based on the direction that the DCEU is going, it doesn't seem likely that the two will ever get the screen-time or attention they deserve. For now, it seems Cavill and Adams won't be able to make up for their lack of chemistry in Man of Steel.
2 Famke Janssen in X-Men
Like many other ensemble superhero films, the X-Men movies cast well-known and respected actors. One role that was crucial to the story was the love triangle that developed between Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Wolverine, played respectively by Famke Janssen, James Marsden, and Hugh Jackman.
Unfortunately, Janssen couldn't deliver on the promise of a romantic connection with either of her co-stars. In fact, had the writers not made the relationship between Jean Grey and Wolverine such a focal-point in the resulting trilogy, it would have gone virtually unnoticed.
It'll be fascinating to see if Sophie Turner can provide a better portrayal of Jean Grey in the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix. However, as for the time being, Jean has no love interests in the movie.
1 Halle Berry in Catwoman
Catwoman is widely considered to be one of the worst superhero films in recent memory. However, unlike Batman & Robin, Halle Berry had no other co-stars to blame for the terrible reviews. In fact, it was largely up to Berry to live up to the high standard set by Michelle Pfeiffer. The resulting film ended up being a huge disappointment.
Berry essentially wasn't given much to work with and failed to whip up any real chemistry with the rest of the cast.
In hindsight, this outcome shouldn't have been too surprising, considering the fact that Berry was unable to really connect with her co-stars in the X-Men movies. That said, Catwoman was on another level of bad. It's unlikely that Berry will ever have a chance of re-entering the DCEU as a superhero.
Who else do you think was unable to successfully build chemistry with their co-stars? Let us know in the comments!

Ink Review #123: Diamine Blood Orange/
In June of 2017, Diamine released 8 inks to add to their previous 8 ink 150th anniversary collection. The 8 inks are: Blood Orange, Golden Honey, Burgundy Royale, Dark Forest, Lilac Night, Tudor Blue, Espresso and Purple Dream. Today we are going to talk about Blood Orange. I purchased my sample of ink from Anderson Pens.
The color...
Blood Orange is a dark red orange. It almost seems more red than orange, but I think it still counts as an orange.
This ink does have a nice brown sheen, but it only shows up on Tomoe River paper.
Dry time: 40 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium-low
Bleeding: None
Other properties: Medium shading, and medium sheen
Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for RSS): Robert Oster Red Orange, Diamine Blood Orange, and Robert Oster Terracotta. I consider both Red Orange and Terracotta to be red-oranges, but blood orange has a lot more red in it than either of the others. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and here for the Orange inks together.
Longer writing:
I used a Pilot 912 FA and a broad Vanishing Point on Tomoe River.
Overall, this is a well behaved ink, like most of Diamine's ink. The dry time is a bit long, but other than that it works really well. It has some nice shading and a a decent amount of sheen. For me, the ink is really red-orange, too much red for my taste.
Disclaimer: I purchased this ink myself, and all photos and opinions are my own. There are no affiliate links on this page.

|Search Indexed File Hierarchy
The Index Module
The index module of Search Indexed File Hierarchy is for indexing files on USB flash drive, CD-ROM, hard disk, etc. (not on an online website), so as to provide the data needed by the search module.
After installing this program on your PC (either the trial version or after activating it to make it fully-functional) it is recommended to learn how to index a set of files it by following the directions in Example of Use.
Inclusion of subfolders
On the first run the index module asks for a project name (no spaces), the title of the project, and the location of the top folder, which is the folder containing the files to be indexed plus (optionally) subfolders (also with files to be indexed). For example:
If the top folder has subfolders containing files you wish to include in the indexing then click on the Include subfolders button and mark the subfolders you wish to include.
For an example of how to index a set of files see Example of Use.
Use of the index and data files with the search module
Both the index file and the data file are used by the search module. However only the index file must be found by the search module, because if the data file is missing then the search module will recreate it. So you can either keep the data file or delete it, depending on whether or not you have a lot of unused disk space. Keeping it means that the search module does not have to recreate it, which saves a bit of time, but not a lot. If you keep the data file then it must be in the same folder as the index file (which is where the search module will look for it).
Displaying files to be indexed
After you have specified the top folder, etc., and are ready to create the index file, it is advisable to view the files to be indexed before doing so. Click on the 'List files' button to see which files will be indexed.
If you see any files that you don't want indexed, exclude them explicitly as described in the next section.
It is advisable to exclude files which are not necessary but which might contain many words which do not occur in other files, since the indexing time and the size of the index and data files increases with the number of words found.
In particular, a single file in a language different from the other files should be excluded (unless required) because this will greatly increase the number of words to be indexed.
Excluded files
All files in the top folder (unless those files are excluded) and in all included subfolders (and optionally in all subfolders of those subfolders) will be indexed except for the files which (a) are specifically excluded, (b) are non-text files, (c) are automatically excluded or (d) are smaller than a specified size.
As noted above, the ability to list the files which will be indexed is useful because it allows you to identify any files which you wish to exclude from indexing; you can then exclude those files explicitly.
To do this click on the 'Exclude files' button and select the file, or multiple files (as illustrated here). That file (or those files) will then be added to the textbox which lists the excluded files (unless the selected file is not in an included folder).
The 'Excluded files' textbox is editable. Thus if you wish to remove a file which you have selected for exclusion then you can delete it from the textbox; just be sure that the excluded files are one to a line (blank lines are ignored).
The index module scans only text files, that is, files which contain only bytes with byte values in the range 32 through 255) plus white space (that is, bytes with values 32, 13, 10, 9, 12 and 8, which are the byte values for space, carriage return, linefeed, tab, formfeed and backspace respectively). Thus any binary file, such as a graphics file, is automatically excluded from indexing, and so does not have to be excluded explicitly.
Files with the following file extensions are automatically excluded (even though some of them are text files); no file with any of these file extensions will be indexed:
|bas bat bin bmp cgi com css dbf dll
doc drv exe fmt frm frx fx gdoc gif
ico idx ini jpe jpg js kbd mdb ocx
ovl pdf png prg rar rsc scr swp sys
tiff tlb usri usrs vbp vbs vbw vbx
xls zip htaccess
HTML files of less than 1000 bytes usually don't contain any text worth indexing, but rather are redirection files, files with a "This page has moved" notice, etc. Inclusion of such files, if there are many, would significantly increase indexing time, and would possibly lead to irrelevant results when the search module is used, so it is useful to be able to exclude files smaller than a certain minimum filesize. You can also exclude files larger than a certain maximum filesize, in case there are some excessively large files in the folder(s).
You can exclude files in the top folder while including files in subfolders by checking the 'Exclude files in the top folder' checkbox.
Excluded filepaths
A file is normally identified by a filepath, which is the name of the file preceded by the name of the folder containing it, preceded by the name of the folder containing that folder, and so on, up to the root folder. For example, if folder aaa is in the root folder of Drive C:, and contains a subfolder bbb which contains a subfolder ccc which contains a file file.txt then the filepath for that file is C:\aaa\bbb\ccc\file.txt.
The index module allows exclusion of files whose filepaths contain a given character string, which may be a substring either of a folder name in the filepath or a substring of the file name. This allows you to exclude subfolders of subfolders of the top folder and to exclude files with a certain extension (if it is not already among the file extensions which are automatically excluded). After examining (in Windows Explorer) the hierarchy of local files for a website, or (in this software) the list of files to be indexed, you might, e.g., exclude filepaths as below:
In this case all files in all subfolders (regardless of where they occur) whose filepaths include bak, unused, \no_index or 1990s\ would be excluded from indexing, and no files whose filenames end in bak xml, txt or _c.htm would be indexed. Character strings must be separated by commas, may contain spaces, and are not case-sensitive.
If you have too many character strings to be visible all at once in the textbox then you can click on the 'Expand' button and a window will open displaying them one per line. You can edit this textbox by adding or deleting character strings, and then cancel or confirm. If you confirm then the strings will reappear in alphabetical order in the 'Exclude filepaths' textbox.
This facility may be used in conjunction with the file listing facility (see above). The file list may be inspected for files which you wish to exclude, then some identifying part of the filepaths (such as a subfolder name) may be added to the 'Exclude filepaths' textbox or to the 'Filepath exclusions' textbox.

Let's kick this off with a little role-playing game: You... are not you. "You" have never traveled outside the tropical rain forest you know only as "home." There's no electricity in your village, the outside world is a sort of bizarre fleeting concept... and then one day a stranger shows up. An anthropology grad student. And you fall madly in love. When they ask you to leave with them, you can't suppress your exuberance when you say "Yes!" And this new love of yours gets a quizzical dancing look in the eyes, and says they'll show you a place where boiling water freezes in mid-air... a far, far away land called "Northern Minnesota," where the world is white many months of the year.
You get to Minnesota as summer is drawing to a close, and people warmly welcome you with you tips about how to dress in winter... and you inwardly smile a bit smugly, because you're wearing the sweater that a friend used to wear in the mountains. In fact, you're thinking about taking the sweater off right now, and it doesn't seem likely that temperatures could change THAT dramatically. But as the weeks start going by it gets COLD! And your new friends smile, and say something about the leaves all still being on the trees... and you start to listen to all their snippets of advice. Before long you feel almost dizzy with all these ideas on how to dress for "winter," and although you think there must just be some connection you're missing, a bunch of those ideas seem to contradict each other. What should you do?!
Let's start with a look at physiological need... completely aside from your comfort and not wanting to feel cold, why does your body need to stay warm? What is it trying to do? Why do some areas seem to get colder than others or, conversely, some parts seem sweaty while others seem almost numb from cold? Why does it seem like lots of clothing doesn't seem to make much difference on some parts of your body, but worn elsewhere even something thin can make you feel much warmer? In a word: survival.
As rude and cold and calculating as it might seem, your body is quite aware that some parts of it aren't critical for survival. Conversely, if other parts of your body shut down you'll die... so your body is "wired" to sacrifice some parts of itself to save other parts. Long before you actually get to the ragged edge of survival, though, your body lavishes attention on its critical parts: your brain, heart, & organs. The thing is, your body can only produce a finite amount of heat... like a small furnace in a big house, when things get really cold you have to close off some rooms. If your body senses that critical areas are getting cold, it shunts heat away from your extremities and brings it to your core. That's why our toes & fingers can so often feel cold when we otherwise feel comfortable.
Imagine, if you would, a house with well-insulated walls... and no insulation in the ceiling or roof. That'd be nuts, right? (It's pretty common for houses in northern latitudes to have two or three times more insulation overhead than in the walls.) Consider that analogy as it relates to winter apparel: If you're wearing a big poofy down parka, it wouldn't make sense to not also insulate your head. You would lose a wildly disproportionate amount of heat through your head.
Let's use a cooking example along a similar vein: You're broiling some steaks and smoke billows from your oven. The smoke alarm pierces your ears. You get out a fan... and close all the doors and windows? No, of course not. The smoke couldn't go anywhere. You open the windows and doors... you REMOVE THE BARRIERS to airflow. You put as little between the outdoors and your smoke-filled kitchen as you can, because doing so will get rid of all that air that would otherwise linger in your kitchen for days.
The point is that "creating" warmth really means RETAINING warmth. Your body produces heat; it's your job to keep that heat near your body, which we accomplish by creating DEAD AIR SPACE. Great insulation is sort of a nightmare-ish labyrinth for gleefully excited warm air. We make it more difficult for warm air to escape the microclimate over our skin. If you insulate some parts of your body and not others, the parts that are not insulated will, obviously, lose a lot more heat... which is why you can be wearing a big down coat and be cold, but add a hat and stay warm. By extension, if you wear a super-thick, wind-resistant jacket and counter it with a thin beanie with an open weave... you're obviously not as well insulated on your head, and you will minimize the efficiency of your big down jacket because you're blowing all kinds of extra heat out through your poorly-insulated head.
This is partially where the old saying, "If your feet are cold, put on a hat," comes from. Your head can lose proportionately more heat for its given body surface area, precisely because of mechanisms that shunt blood from your periphery to feed the core... there's more blood flow there, and it's more exposed.
Thermoregulators throughout your body constantly collect data and forward it to your main computer. If your temp is dropping, your peripheral blood vessels will constrict, which will help shunt warm blood to your core. Conversely, if you're overheating, your peripheral vasculature will dilate, maximizing surface area exposure and radiant heat loss. Incidentally, if you're wearing clothes or footwear that constrict or compress, it can have a similar effect of diverting some blood flow away from the periphery and toward your core. And this, this seems like a good place for us to pause. Next time we'll talk about what the whole concept of "layering" really means, when it works best, when not to dress that way, and how to make it work effectively when you do.

Don't even try and tell me this isn't big news.
Apple has just released its MacBook Air, and I couldn't care less because I know of a much more interesting Apple-related development. Sure the Air is thin, but is it Spore? I thought not. And guess what, in addition to bringing Spore to the Wii, creator and near-God Will Wright has now announced his intention to port what many are expecting to be his magnum opus to the Mac too.
As current games for the Mac consist primarily of The Sims, World of Warcraft, Age of Empires, some other Sims spin off and World of Warcraft – and some Sims – it has to be admitted that bringing what promises to be a completely fresh style of gaming to the platform can only be for the good. Personally I still consider Will Wright's genre-defining SimCity (now open source – i.e. free under the name of Metropolis) one of the finest games ever made, and often use it to pass away a train or car journey; as a passenger of course.
No release date is set for Spore but the press release does talk about the game coming out "later this year", which means we can guess within 350 days when it will come out – assuming no delays which given the game's current track record aren't unlikely. Nonetheless if you own a Mac, wish to play games and want those games to be good games then the porting of Spore is news to get very excited about, so stop reading this and start salivating instead.

Well-known Dublin restaurant gets injunction to reopen after landlord took possession of property
The court heard the restaurant is in a dispute over "alleged historic arrears of rent" of more than €140,000
A Dublin restaurant has secured a High Court injunction allowing it to reopen after its landlord took possession of the property on Wednesday morning.
The order was secured by Bel & Bellucci Ltd, of whom well-known businessman Robbie Fox is a director, and which operates an Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the Sweepstakes Centre in Ballsbridge.
The court heard the restaurant is in a dispute over "alleged historic arrears of rent" of more than €140,000.
Dylan West Bl, for the restaurant, said the matter was very urgent for his client because the landlord had, without any prior notice, taken possession of the premises.
Ms Justice Caroline Costello granted the restaurant an injunction against the landlord, Knockanore Properties, and a security company engaged by the landlord to take possession of the premises K-Tech Security.
The orders prevent the defendants from interfering with Bel & Bellucci's access to the premises and restrains the defendants from interfering with the restaurant's use of the premises.
The application was made on notice to the defendants.
Gavin Mooney Bl, for Knockanore, said it was accepted there was a dispute between the parties, and his side was prepared to allow the restaurant operators back into the premises pending the final outcome of the action.
The restaurant would continue to operate the terms of its lease until the matter has been determined, counsel added.
In a sworn statement seeking the injunction, Mr Fox said he was unable to access the restaurant after the landlord's agent forced entry and took possession of the property early on Wednesday morning.
Security staff were posted on the premises, and the locks were changed, he said.
He said the landlord had issued a forfeiture notice on the company in respect of the premises last April.
It alleges that over €140,000 in rental arrears are owed, which Mr Fox said he disputes. Attempts to resolve matters were not finalised, he said.
Mr Fox said that after the notice was issued company continued to make full rental payments to the landlord, which it accepted.
On that basis, Mr Fox said that the notice has been waived by the landlord.
He said that due to what he said was an illegal repossession the business had suffered financial and reputational damage.
He said he had to send staff members home as there was no work for them, and he was unable to contact customers who had made reservations.
The restaurant is near the RDS and the Aviva Stadium and he feared the business would lose a lot of trade generated by events scheduled to occur at these venues in the coming weeks.
The Judge adjourned the case to a date in June and said it was likely the case would be remitted to the Circuit Court for determination.

The US-led war games on the Korean Peninsula are now at an end, but as the war of words between Trump and Kim Jong-un continues to escalate, London CND Chair Carol Turner considers whether the crisis is bringing us closer to nuclear war.
Annual war games on the Korean Peninsula are the biggest in the world. This year these military exercises, a simulation of nuclear war with North Korea, have helped bring the world one step closer to a real-life nuclear conflict. The 10-day long Ulchi-Freedom Guardian exercises came to an end on 30 September, but the confrontation between US President Trump and North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un is still mounting.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have been high throughout 2017, aggravated by missile tests in the North and the installation of a US anti-missile system in the South, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD). Pressure grew at the end of July, when the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) successfully test-fired a long-range missile over the Sea of Japan. In response, the US conducted a live-fire missiles exercise with the Republic of Korea (ROK).
The present crisis came to the world's attention on 9 August, Nagasaki Day commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city, after a tweet by Trump threatening North Korea with 'fire and fury like the world has never seen'.
The DPRK military upped the ante with a proposal to fire ballistic missile near the island of Guam, a US territory in Micronesia in the Western Pacific, and a strategic American air-base. But Kim Jong-un took a step back, announcing on 15 August that he intended to wait and see before approving this plan.
In the run up to US-ROK annual war games, this August has been punctuated by a war of words between the two leaders. More seriously perhaps, it has also witnessed a series of increasingly provocative actions on both sides.
The threat of open conflict on the Korean Peninsula is now a real and present danger. South Korea is host to the third-largest number of US troops overseas, after Japan and Germany, with 35,000 US military personnel stationed across 83 sites. North Korea has taken on the United States before and fought it to a stalemate with the help of China, in the Korean war of 1950-53. No peace treaty was ever signed between the US and DPRK; the 1954 armistice is still enforced with a demilitarised zone between the two Koreas.
The 10-day long Ulchi-Freedom Guardian exercises began on 21 August, with military personnel from the UK participating, as well as Australia, Canada, Colombian, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. They were a simulation of nuclear war with North Korea, and are widely believed to have included 'decapitation missions' aimed at the assassination or capture of Kim Jong-un.
China and Russia proposed a de-escalation of the growing crisis: the DPRK should agree to halt missile tests in return for a moratorium on US-led war exercises. This was dismissed by the United States, and has been largely ignored by the West.
Responding to US pressure, the UN imposed more sanctions on the DPRK, banning imports of coal, minerals and sea food. China, often reluctant to support sanctions, this time announced it would implement them – a further measure of how seriously the threat should be taken.
As the military exercises were drawing to a close, on 29 August the DPRK launched a short range missile which flew over the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Trump responded with a White House statement that 'all options are on the table'. This revives the implied threat of a pre-emptive attack that his 'fire and fury' tweet triggered.
The US and Japan called an emergency meeting of UN Security Council, demanding tough action against Pyongyang. Stronger UN sanctions are under discussion, and the US and North Korea have clashed at a UN Disarmament Forum meeting in Geneva.
Meanwhile, the Ulchi-Freedom Guardian concluded with US and ROK fighter jets flying close to the demilitarised zones between the two Koreas in 10-hours of simulated strikes against Pyongyang. Japan also took part in this manoeuvre, providing an escorting for US bombers out of Guam air-base.
Less than 24 hours later, President Vladimir Putin of Russia was warning that large scale conflict was imminent, andhis Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described events as heading towards a war with large numbers of casualties.
In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is reported to be considering seriously upping the military budget, with controversial calls from the Japanese military for the development of long range offensive missiles. This move would violate Article 9 of Japan's post-war constitution, already under reconsideration, which provides for a self-defence force only for the protection of the country's borders.
The end of Ulchi-Freedom Guardian is far from ending the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula.

High School Sports
High school notebook: Friday's football schedule loaded with big district clashes
This is the best Friday night of high school football we've seen this season, and it's the best we'll see until the third week of the playoffs. Enjoy the bounty of big district games:
No. 1 Male (7-0) at Trinity (5-3): After beating St. X last week, Male goes for the sweep of the Class 6A Catholic powers. Trinity's defense was stellar in a 14-3 win over Manual.
No. 2 Bowling Green (6-1) at Warren Central (5-2): The three-time defending 5A champ Purples go for a 20th consecutive district victory.
No. 3 Scott County (7-0) at No. 10 Bryan Station (5-2): Scott County has beaten the Defenders 13 times in a row since 2000.
No. 4 Manual (6-1) at No. 8 St. Xavier (5-3): Manual tries to end a 24-game losing streak to the Tigers.
No. 6 Simon Kenton (8-0) at No. 9 Dixie Heights (6-1): Simon Kenton looks to show it's the best 6A team in Northern Kentucky.
Louisville Christian (8-0) at No. 17 DeSales (7-0): Last year the Centurions beat DeSales in the regular season, but the Colts won the rematch in the playoffs on their way to the 2A state title.
No. 16 Caldwell County (7-0) at Murray (5-2): Caldwell County is 19-1 in its last 20 games. The loss was to Murray in the 2A playoffs last year.
Bell County (6-1) at Corbin (6-1): Both teams have aspirations of contending in 3A.
■ Williamsburg's Skyler Griffith began his senior season as one of the most productive receivers in state history. He had 178 career receptions (11th-most all-time) for 3,676 yards (sixth-most) and 40 TD catches (eighth-most).
But with the Yellow Jackets in need of a quarterback — Dalton Sizemore graduated after leading them to a Class A state runner-up finish last year — Griffith took the reins. He's made the transition look easy. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior has passed for 1,388 yards and 19 TDs, and run for 528 yards and 11 TDs for unbeaten Williamsburg.
"He's a phenomenal kid, a phenomenal athlete," Coach Jerry Herron said. Griffith, who also plays basketball and baseball, quarterbacked Williamsburg to a middle school state title in 2010, so he's familiar with the position.
He has talented skill people around him. Senior receiver Corey Shelton is climbing the state record lists. He has 183 catches for 3,458 yards and 48 TDs. Chase Lowrie is another capable target, and Fred Massey is a big contributor at running back. Williamsburg's goal is a return trip to the state finals and make up for last year's 42-0 loss to Mayfield.
"Until we win that last game we've not accomplished our goal," Herron said. "It's a long, tough road ahead, and we know that."
■ Ray Zuberer Jr. is the latest quarterback to put up big passing numbers for Owensboro Catholic.
In 2004, Zach Barnard threw for 4,660 yards and 52 TDs to lead the Aces to a state runner-up finish. Over the past few years, David Woodward, Isaac Hardesty and Houston Hartz have each topped 3,000 yards passing in a season for the Aces.
Zuberer, a junior, is flourishing in his first season at the controls of John Edge's high-octane offense. Zuberer has thrown for 2,556 yards and 38 TDs in eight games. Zuberer is also a standout in baseball (with an offer from Western Kentucky) and basketball.
"He's a great athlete, so he's used to all of this," Edge said. "He's learned a lot and now he's excelling."
Zuberer, son of former Aces' girls' basketball coach, Ray Sr., led an epic Owensboro Catholic comeback last week. Mater Dei (Breeze, Ill.) led 42-22 in the third quarter, but the Aces rallied to win 68-57. Zuberer passed for 474 yards and eight TDs and ran for 66 yards and a TD.
■ Madison Southern was without star running back Damien Harris (sprained MCL) when it lost to district rival Pulaski County 35-0 last week.
But the victorious Maroons lost star quarterback Riley Hall in the second quarter when he suffered a broken collarbone.
Pulaski County Coach Johnny Hines said Hall will be sidelined 4-6 weeks. That means Hall might not be back until the second or third round of the playoffs. Hines said George Gregory, a junior wide receiver, will move to quarterback in the meantime. Jesse Whitaker and Matt Hendricks might also take some snaps.
■ Breathitt County's James Fletcher Collins had almost 600 all-purpose yards and six TDs in the Bobcats' 62-42 win over Clay County last week.
"He's special," Coach Kyle Moore said of the junior quarterback.
Collins ran 23 times for 433 yards and four TDs. He caught a 15-yard TD pass and returned a punt 82 yards for a score. He also had 53 yards in kickoff returns.
In a win over Magoffin County two weeks ago, Collins ran for 319 yards and four TDs, and had a 97-yard kickoff return for a TD. Collins' brother, Will Thomas, who played at Lexington Christian and Breathitt County, is a walk-on at UK.
■ Clay County's Evan Napier has never had a team decimated by injuries like this year's Tigers.
"It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen," he said. "We've lost 12 players, including all our linebackers."
Clay County has lost seven games in a row since an opening win over Perry Central. Despite their struggles, the Tigers have had bright spots.
In the loss to Breathitt, junior receiver Wes Wolfe had eight catches for 180 yards and three TDs. Senior running back Sam Carr rushed for 120 yards and two TDs, and had five catches for 103 yards and a score.
■ Jacob McKee rushed for 205 yards and two TDs as Russell beat Mason County 38-7, ending the Royals' 21-game regular-season winning streak.
■ Letcher County Central beat district rival Harlan County 54-24, its first win over the Black Bears in five years. Zane Blair ran for 109 yards and three TDs, and passed for 139 yards and a TD. Jaylen Williams rushed for 194 yards and three scores, and Hunter Hall had two TDs for the Cougars.
■ Highlands got a big game from senior quarterback Beau Hoge but suffered a rare regular-season loss, falling to Miami (Fla.) Columbus 38-34. Hoge threw for 341 yards and five TDs. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Hoge, son of ESPN analyst and former NFL player Merril Hoge, is getting looks from BYU, Ohio and Cincinnati.
■ Ashland Blazer junior Quinton Baker, who has an offer from UK, ran for 274 yards and three TDs in a 48-8 rout of Sheldon Clark.
■ Jacob Doss (Lexington Catholic) has coached Windermere (Fla.) Prep to a 5-0 record this season. Windermere is outscoring its opponents by an average of 57-18. Doss set a state record at Lexington Catholic by throwing a TD pass in 39 consecutive games.
■ This week in high school football in 1992: Leslie County freshman Tim Couch passed for 251 yards and three TDs in a 22-10 win over Paul Laurence Dunbar. ... Lexington Catholic's Davon Davis rushed for 199 yards and four TDs in a 42-6 rout of Berea. ... Chris Claypool threw for a TD, ran for a TD and returned a kickoff for a score as Bourbon County qualified for the playoffs for the first time in school history by beating Western Hills 35-12. ... Tates Creek blanked Henry Clay 14-0, saddling the Blue Devils with their 17th consecutive loss.
■ Henry Clay boys' basketball had a serious setback when Jeremiah Tisdale suffered a torn ACL last week.
The 6-foot-1 left-hander will have surgery Oct. 28 and miss his senior season. "It's a big blow to us," Blue Devils Coach Daniel Brown said. Tisdale was injured when he went up for a dunk "and came down funny," Brown said. "Nobody touched him. One of those things that's hard to explain."
Tisdale averaged 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds last season. He had 27 points and seven steals in Henry Clay's loss to Scott County in the region finals. Brown said Tisdale "dominated" in leading Henry Clay to the state AAU title this summer. Tisdale has an offer from Georgetown College, and interest from Northern Kentucky, Pikeville, Troy and Lincoln Memorial.
■ Less than seven months after he wrapped up his college playing career, Elisha Justice is the new boys' basketball coach at June Buchanan.
Justice, 23, said he couldn't stay away from the game. "I knew I had to do something with basketball. That's what I know and that's what I love." Justice planned on helping out this season at Shelby Valley, which he led to the state title in 2010 before the opportunity arose at June Buchanan.
Justice said he learned a lot from his former coaches — Jason Booher at Shelby Valley, Rick Pitino at Louisville and Kelly Wells at Pikeville — and he won't hesitate to call them for advice.
■ Andy Green, a former Lexington Christian Academy and UK baseball standout, will be the Arizona Diamondbacks' third base coach next season.
Green interviewed for the Diamondbacks' manager position, but Chip Hale got the job. Hale added Green to his staff this week. Green, 37, has been manager at Mobile (Ala.), Arizona's AA affiliate, the past two years. He has been in the Diamondbacks' organization for 11 years as a player or coach.

Moral machines and subjective humans
The latest issue of «meeting BSI», the business magazine for BSI friends, user advocates and customer whisperers, is dedicated to machine learning and our value "We are not interested in short-term figures."
We are not particularly interested in quarterly results. No one at BSI is evaluated according to turnover, profit or whether budgets are reached. It is banal to make a lot of profit in a short time and it is banal to measure performance with key figures. It would be an insult to the intelligence of our employees if they would not outwit them. Nevertheless, we do have an evaluation system, simply not one that is mindless or superficial. We honor long-term goals. The evaluation of performance in our company is made based on gut feeling, which subsumes countless factors and is based on many years of experience of weighing and ranking these factors.
Having this intuition, this gut feeling, is today a task of our employees – knowing they are people with their advantages and disadvantages: moods, biases, mistakes. Would the evaluation be fairer if we could delegate it to a machine in the future?
Researchers preoccupied with self-learning systems seem to be on the path to finding something akin to mechanical "intuition." With each action and each decision, the system changes and optimizes each subsequent action or decision – with the corresponding data volume it quickly makes up for years of lacking experience. We are approaching exciting times. If large companies, with mountains of data and intelligent systems, can react faster than start-ups, then the structure of our corporate landscape is bound to drastically change.
The latest issue of our magazine "meeting BSI" is dedicated to machine learning (ML) and its impact on our business, the way we interact with customers and the speed with which we could adapt to changing customer needs. Read more about this in the keynote and the employee interview. In which areas would you like to see ML? We would be pleased to receive feedback from you.
Have fun exploring.

Does anyone have any experience with California State University East Bay? I realize that's Oakland/Richmond area which to me, as someone who is only experienced with the East Bay through rumors, from reputation it's like going to school in Compton.
Is it in a safe university area where a short female can catch a train and get to class without too much risk of being accosted or is it crack-whore central?
I currently am attending a Cal State school in an area known for being kind of rough as well, but the area immediately around the school itself is a developed and nice university mini-town, so I only have to drive through minimal crap to reach the safe university perimeter. That type of thing is fine, and I'm used to that. I just want to know if the campus/means of getting to campus are okay.
I'd prefer to either stay within the Cal State system or go somewhere that accepts Cal State gen-ed credits, hence why I'm asking specifics.

Ordinary Communications Operator (OCO) Simeon watching the sun rise over Ho Chi Minh City from the flight deck of HMNZS TE MANA on ANZAC Day 2013
Watching the sun rise over Ho Chi Minh City is one thing, but seeing it from the flight deck of HMNZS TE MANA on ANZAC Day was something special for 19 year old Tyler (Simmy) Simeon.
Ordinary Communications Operator (OCO) Simeon is originally from Kaitaia, and attended Kaitaia College. She enjoys the opportunities to travel the world that joining the Royal New Zealand Navy have offered her.
"Within 10 months of joining TE MANA, I have already been to nine countries, Vietnam being one of them," says OCO Simeon.
"I love traveling the world, and being able to visit parts of the world that I never imagined possible."
OCO Simeon joined the Navy in June 2011. After finishing her Able Communications course she was posted to HMNZS TE MANA, and is enjoying their four-month deployment to South and North East Asia.
"There are so many opportunities and a great life to be experienced if you join the Navy."
OCO Simeon is involved with communication between ships using voice, flags and morse code. She also deals with messages that come through from other ships and Devonport Naval Base.
In her spare time OCO Simeon is involved with waka ama, swimming, gym work, netball and kapa haka. She manages to juggle her interests around her work commitments ashore, or when deployed on TE MANA.
She also participates in the Maori Cultural Group onboard TE MANA, "I enjoy performing when the opportunities arise."
OCO Simeon acknowledges that family connections make her feel at home whether at sea or alongside.
"Since May 2012, I have lived with my aunty who is a Medic in the Navy and has served 11 years. I find it awesome living with her because she has a lot of experience and knowledge.
"I get lots of satisfaction from being in the Navy. I have made some good friends, I travel, I am getting good qualifications and have a stable career.
"I am able to work in many different environments and overall I am having a life less ordinary!"
For further information, contact Lieutenant Commander Vicki Rendall, 021 244 0638.

Friday Perspective: San Francisco - Different, Yet the Same
Every Friday I give quick perspectives, opinions and thoughts on the world of marketing and beyond. This week's entry is below.
Warning: not writing about marketing this week. Enjoy a little change of pace.
I've been in San Francisco this week, five months after leaving the city by the Bay to move to Boston. In that short, five months I've heard much about how the city has changed - both from friends here in the city and from random writers on the interwebs. Rental prices have skyrocketed. Home purchase prices continue to rise. Over-gentrification has led to a devolving of the diverse culture that San Francisco was built on. Lots of the complaints center on the tech culture taking over the city.
I can see all that. Walking around SoMa, getting coffee near Moscone, it's clear the city continues to be driven even more heavily by the tech economy while the population gets more and more affluent. It forces the middle class to the suburbs and ironically, for a city so rich in culture, creates a class of citizens remarkably uniform.
It is a change, I suppose, yet all that feels very familiar. In fact, maybe it's not a change as much as it's a progression of the environment I left five months ago. People talk about how the change the city is going through is resulting in a less desirable place. I can see how that would be true. When San Franciscan friends talk about it not being the same, not being as charming, as diverse, as unique, I can't really argue based on some of what I've seen this week.
Yet, as I look west out of the third floor windows of the friend's apartment I'm staying in, I can't help but marvel at this city. This is the San Francisco I remember and grew to love. The rooftops of homes and apartments sitting atop rolling hills leading to the Pacific Ocean. The tall masses of trees of Golden Gate Park and the Presidio in the distance. The fog rolling in over the Richmond district. This is San Francisco.
When I walk along Geary the atmosphere feels very much like it did five months ago. Vibrant, diverse, full of life. The bars are divey, the restaurants down to earth, the people interesting. This is a San Francisco that feels completely unchanged, as if I never left.
When I fly back to Boston to my new home this weekend, I won't remember San Francisco for SoMa, the Moscone center or the tech chatter overheard. I'll remember my old home for everything else it was and still is. All the things that make it special and different from every other city. You can get a SoMa, a conference center and a tech scene in a lot of cities now. That feeling I have looking out my friend's window, that's something you can't get anywhere else.

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21
- What we believe about God will determine what we ask Him for.
- Worship increases our knowledge of God, and our knowledge of God intensifies our worship.
- The greatness of God demands great requests.
Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, "above all that we ask or think."
Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!
Andrew Murray
Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring;
For his grace and pow'r are such,
None can ever ask too much.
John Newton

DES MOINES — It's the groggy, nerve-sizzling season on the trail, and forget the attack ads and last-minute scrapping. Any candidate will attest that the epic fight now is against sleep deprivation, the gaffe-inducing monster that looms over every campaign in its final hours.
"We had 300 people outside, literally freezing to death," Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton marveled on Tuesday before a crowd in Iowa City. (No deaths were reported, in fact.)
"I won't remember Iowans," Mitt Romney declared in Altoona the other day before his wife, Ann, corrected him. (He meant that he would "never forget" Iowans.)
Mike Huckabee offered his "apologies" last week over the killing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan. (He meant "sympathies," his campaign clarified.)
Sleeping much?
"Obviously, I could use more than I am getting," said Mr. Huckabee, who is down to about four hours a night.Continue reading the main story
"He's like a machine," said Janet Huckabee, who was watching her husband work an Elks Lodge on Tuesday in Cedar Rapids.
But machines can falter or crash, and so can candidates. Or at the very least, their defenses will be lowered, and less-guarded beings will emerge, which can be fun to watch.
In Iowa City on Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton thanked a local organizer, "Betti O," who screamed, "Oh, thank you, Senator!"
To which Mrs. Clinton replied, "From one diva to another, Betty, I'm so happy to see you!"
It can also have serious consequences. Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York partly faulted a lack of sleep for the "severe headache" that put him in the hospital last month.
Fatigue-related missteps are legion in political campaigns. "When a person is fatigued, they will make a mistake," Senator John McCain said Wednesday in an interview.
Mr. McCain, who said he tried for five or six hours of sleep a night, cited the tearful meltdown of Senator Edmund S. Muskie just before the 1972 New Hampshire primary that led to the implosion of that front-running Democrat's campaign.
Aides to Howard Dean say his high-pitched ramble on the night of the 2004 Iowa caucuses was his sleep deprivation talking (and eventually screaming).
"Some politicians think you have to brutalize yourself to show how well you are doing," Mr. McCain added.
He could be talking about John Edwards, who ended on Tuesday with a midnight event in the city of Atlantic, west of here, and began Wednesday with stops at 2:15 a.m., Creston, and 5:15, Centerville.
His final event of the day was set for the wholly sane hour of 8:30 p.m. (Des Moines.)
But bleary-eyed blunders are hardly restricted to a homestretch. Modern presidential campaigns start earlier than ever and involve endless news cycles, relentless fund-raising demands and coast-to-coast travel.
Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico said he was tired and had flown all night before the debate last August in which he said that homosexuality was a choice, a remark he retracted.
Senator Barack Obama, Democrat of Illinois, blamed fatigue for his drastically overstating the death toll from tornadoes in Kansas in May. He said 10,000 people died. (12 did.)
"There are going to be times when I get tired," Mr. Obama said. "There are going to be times when I get weary."
Now, clearly, is one of those times. Mr. Obama, who said repeatedly on the stump last week that he received "eight hours of sleep" for Christmas, has seemed decidedly in need of a nap in recent days.
Although Mrs. Clinton, unlike Mr. Obama, never mentions her fatigue at campaign events, she is particularly sensitive to it, her aides say, especially at evening appearances. She has shown visible strain in recent days, as well as in an unflattering photograph that ran prominently last month in a number of news media outlets last month.
Bill Clinton was famous for requiring just two or three hours of sleep a night, a practice that Mrs. Clinton says she would want no part of in a White House of her own.
But former President Night Owl himself has said sleeplessness is partly to blame for the dysfunction of Washington. That is a little bit like Paris Hilton's blaming overexposure for the problems of Hollywood.
"You have no idea how many Republican and Democratic members of the House and Senate are chronically sleep deprived because of this system," Mr. Clinton said in September on "The Daily Show." "I know this is an unusual theory, but I do believe sleep deprivation has a lot to do with some of the edginess of Washington today."
With the caucuses upon them, candidates like to comfort themselves with the notion (or lie) that the end is in sight — notwithstanding that New Hampshire holds its primary in all of five days.
"I am hoping things will improve a little bit in the schedule so I can catch a few more winks," Mr. Huckabee said Wednesday, dreaming aloud.Continue reading the main story
