...Weil paints a pair of hands holding a paint brush. The range of oranges in this canvas alone is impressive: While the background is painted loosely in a happy mango orange, the shade gradually merges into the russet-orange of the hands, and finally to a lemony yellow evoking the images of autumn leaves. While much of the paint is loosely layered, a thin layer of pastel blues and khaki greens can be identified underneath the intense oranges. These blues and greens are made visible through the artist’s manipulation of paint with a palette knife...
...asset sales won't do the job, that leaves some pretty tough choices. Analysts speculate that BT might cut dividends or issue more shares at cut-rate prices in a rights offering. (BT did have some good news last week; it is reportedly close to selling its Yell online yellow pages in a private sale worth as much as $4 billion.)

If we say that the premise of Blue Man Group, to the extent that it has one, is the exploration of the beauty of the simplistic, then the sequence in which the trio assembles a giant slide...
...movie-extra job. Hill did pick up some work as an extra for British TV in the '80s, a job he liked because you got "danger pay" for playing a soldier or policeman. "When the Troubles were at their height, it was considered dangerous," he says. "You wore big yellow BBC plaques at the top of your uniform just to make sure, if there were any potential snipers, they wouldn't mistake...
