Congratulations to the citizens of Pensacola. They had the courage to recognize and admit their city was going nowhere, and that it needed a leader, a champion, to raise it up. The status quo was not working.
We're referring to the story on this week's front page about Pensacola's adoption in 2009 of an elected CEO mayor. Sarasotans: Take note.
It seems so elementary, that everyone would get this — that any enterprise, organization, army, school, classroom, sports team or government needs a leader. Sun Tzu spelled this out in 500 B.C. in his "Art of War." The "commander" was one of his five constant factors in determining how to execute the objective, in determining how to get from point A to B.
You would think everyone would understand this and accept it as a given. But obviously not, not in the city of Sarasota.
We have the likes of former Mayor Mollie Cardamone, who chastised Commissioner Paul Caragiulo Monday night for having the audacity to present a charter amendment proposal that would have sought the wishes of city voters on what type of government they want. Isn't that government by the people? Doesn't he have the responsibility to propose what he believes to be right?
But no, Cardamone looked at Caragiulo at the City Commission meeting and said: "I did not vote to elect any commissioner to change our form of government. I feel duped and ashamed I didn't see through you …"
Oh, puleez. And why didn't she slap Commissioner Terry Turner, architect of another charter amendment that proposes to change the city's government — extracting responsibilities from the city auditor and creating a "strong" city manager?
Sadly, Cardamone, Turner, Commissioner Shannon Snyder and Vice Mayor Willie Shaw are part of the contingent of Sarasota naysayers who apparently believe the commission-city manager form of government is working just fine and has worked just fine.
Are you kidding?
As is always the case in the city of Sarasota, the Nabobs of Negativity like to throw darts at anyone who suggests moving the city's cheese, taking a risk or doing something outside the boundaries of historical mediocrity. (Remember the Ringling Bridge?)
They're quick to shoot: "The timing is wrong" … "It's poorly crafted" … "It will disenfranchise" … "Why do this? The strong mayor idea has gone down to defeat three prevous times" … Waaa, waaa, waaa.
It's never a good time for those whose are happy with the status quo. They seem to live to keep doing the same thing over and over, regardless of the results.
Surely, though, they can see what so many in this community plainly see: The City Commission, its decisions and the management of City Hall are dismissed as embarrassments. Bring up the subject of the City Commission and City Hall in any conversation, and it triggers a diatribe resuscitation of boneheaded decision making. Indeed, think long and hard for the last time you heard anyone praise the commission or City Hall.
Doesn't that concern you?
Of course, everyone likes to criticize his local politicians and government. But the degree to which Sarasota residents and business owners dismiss the City Commission is such that if it were a for-profit business, shareholders would be revolting — canning the CEO and every director. It's a crisis.
Where is the vision? What is the vision? Who is in charge? Who is the commander to lead the army?
There is no vision. There is no commander. There is a committee. And we all know what we get from a committee: Perpetual mediocrity — at best.
To think the new city manager, Thomas Barwin, is going to work miracles and magically fix all that is amiss at City Hall and be the commander to lead the city to the mountaintop is delusional. No matter who the manager is or how skilled he may be, he will encounter the same dysfunction that has existed the past 20 years — an elected group of directors/commissioners who bend to the nabobs who want to keep Sarasota stuck in the past.
OK, so maybe Caragiulo's proposal wasn't perfect and, as he said, was "a work in process." So what. Life is always a work in process. But at least Caragiulo has the vision to see — living it daily — that what exists is a disaster and has the courage to try to make things better.
The nabobs' response — including Commission Turner in that bunch — was typical. Rather than embrace an idea and try to discuss a way to make it work, it's dismissed with disdain. An alternative might have been an adult discussion along this approach: What about postponing Turner's charter amendment until March and placing both proposals on the ballot at once? Have a healthy, public debate about both, and let the people speak.
Caragiulo is not giving up. And he shouldn't. He'll obtain the required voter signatures in a petition, and it will end up on a future ballot. Perhaps it is better this way.
Sarasotans will have time to see how the vision-less, leaderless City Commission will remain an obstacle for an effective City Hall and city manager. And the elected-mayor proponents will have the time to shape their case. They have a model in Pensacola.
The nabobs, in the meantime, will have their usual choice — remain part of the problem or be part of the solution. One day we hope they face up to what the voters of Pensacola clearly realized: No matter how many mid-size cities use the commission-manager form of government, it is a recipe for guaranteed mediocrity — a condition everyone should refuse to accept.
By now, everyone knows if Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is to win the presidency, he must carry Florida's 29 electoral college votes.
Florida is one of the swing states. And indeed Florida is considered a "swinger" because of recent history:
• 1996: Bill Clinton won 48% and Bob Dole won 42.3%
• 2000: George W. Bush and Al Gore each received 48.8% of the vote, with Bush winning by 537 votes.
• 2004: Bush won 52% of the vote to John Kerry's 47.1%.
• 2008: Obama won 51% to John McCain's 48.2%
Now consider the registered-voter breakdown: Democrats: 40%; Republicans: 36.1%; NPA (non-party affiliates): 20.8%
Clearly, the non-party affiliates, or independents, will be crucial to the outcome. And this brings us to one of the most important factors, according to Dr. Susan McManus, Florida's political science expert at the University of South Florida: Voter turnout.
McManus told us recently that turnout is everything. Whichever party is most effective getting their people to the polls will determine the winner.
By that criterion, the Republicans have the advantage. In the last two presidential elections, Republicans outvoted Democrats in terms of having a higher percentage of their party's registered voters vote — by 9 and 18 percentage points.
What's more, McManus says, in this year's election she is expecting the conservative, white soccer moms to turn out, whereas in 2008 many didn't vote because of Sarah Palin. Add to this Obama's approval among suburban whites in Florida is dropping precipitously.
In the end, though, as it often does, the vote is going to come down to the I-4 corridor — who wins Orange (Orlando), Osceola (Disney workers), Hillsborough (Tampa), Pinellas and Volusia (Daytona Beach) counties.
Osceola, Hillsborough and Pinellas each voted for Bush in 2004, Obama in 2008. Volusia voted Democratic in 2004 and 2008, but voted for Republican Gov. Rick Scott in 2010. Orange is always Democratic, but its margins have been shrinking.
The 270towin.com website, an interactive site that predicts electoral college votes, estimates the following if the election were held today:
• Obama — 201
• Romney — 191
Needed to win — 270
Colorado 9
Ohio 18
Florida 29
Pennsylvania 20
Iowa 6
Virginia 13
Nevada 6
Wisconsin 10
N. Carolina 15

- Fair is fair, the proposal to return the departments that were taken away from the city manager and changing the auditor to a strong auditor by putting the clerk under the manager is not a change of government form. It cannot be compared to the extensive change to government form in the Caragiulo proposal. Let's compare apples to apples please.
The Caragiulo proposal is a drastic change in government form that would reduce the number of commissioners voters could elect (3 currently) to a single representative instead of a majority on the commission. Not only that, the commissioners would be so diminished in effectiveness as to become mere advisers, whose wishes could be overridden by political appointees and a political mayor. The voters would vote for the mayor, but the money supporting the campaign would have the greatest influence. Expectations of what that would do to city political campaigns is daunting. For example, many supporting Caragiulo's campaign were not even residents of the city -- should they determine what the city taxpayers have to support? In all likelihood the financial support of mayoral campaigns would come from non-residents. How can that be representative government?
- 2.
- A strong, elected mayor equals direction--a focus lacking in the committee/commission structure that now exists where everyone passes the buck around and around. An election of a strong mayor from several candidates will be a vote for a platform and a direction toward some concrete goals. Under the current form of government you're going nowhere. Wake up Sarasota.

With little more than a week before Iron Man 3, Marvel has wisely whets audiences appetites for their next endeavor: Thor: The Dark World.
The first glimpse of the Thor sequel is a swift 1:46, but it's chock full of details. We knew Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane (Natalie Portman) would eventually reunite, but the when/where/how has been up in the air. Now, we have a clearer picture. Here's the info we were able to trudge from the brief trailer:
The trailer opens on a group of kids entering a loading depot – no Thor or Asgardian magic to be found. Yet one of the kids seems to be either imbued with powers or being assisted by an off-screen presence. When he touches the front end of a mac truck, it begins to hover in the air. Are the other realms of Thor mythology bleeding into our own?
We get our first glimpse of Thor's new adversary Malekith the Accursed (Christopher Eccleston) from behind. He's dangling from a hookup that's more reminiscent of science fiction than the first Thor's fantasy aesthetic. Like the ship from Predator 2 or a Borg cube from Star Trek, Malekith's "ship" is pure alien technology, tying this the sequel to the grand finale of The Avengers.
It's unclear if this enormous rock pillar is connected to the levitating car trick, but clearly something from an alternate universe arrives on Earth's doorstep. Part Superman Returns' kryptonian rock, part Star Trek space drill, this otherworldly object smashes through the edge of the coast (at the National Maritime Museum? Brits, this one is on you), chasing Kat Dennings' Darcy Lewis.
When Thor and Jane make it to Asgard, they're greeted by Sif (Jaimie Alexander). If those aren't the eyes of jealous childhood friend ready to start a love triangle, I don't know what are.
Tanning bed or Asgardian medical bay? In this shot, Jane is wearing a dress different from when she zipped up the rainbow bridge to Asgard for the first time and when she's later seen grappling in the magical clenches of Malekith. What happens in-between? Her voiceover says "We're from separate worlds. Maybe they separate for a reason." Someone has a case of inter-dimensional jet lag.
Malekith's warships once again pull from a science fiction palette rather than one of run-of-the-mill, Tolkien-inspired fantasy. Thor stressed that what humans saw as magic was really an evolved understanding of science. Thor: The Dark World pushes that explanation further.
This is director Alan Taylor in full Game of Thrones mode (of which he is one of the main directors). One of the weaker parts of Thor were the hero's hammer-clobbering action sequences. The big Frost Giants scene from the first film was played in dim light. Finally, we see Thor bust some baddies up in broad daylight. The battle is likely taking place in Svartalfheim, the home realm of Malekith and his Dark Elf bandits.
And then there's the Malekith money shot. In paparazzi snapshots leaked from set, Eccleston was pasty white across his whole face. In this shot, we see that half of his makeup job is covered in a crusty metallic shell. The comics explain that Malekith has a weakness to Iron — are we witnessing him having an allergic reaction.
Very possible, thanks to what appears to be an iron piece of armor that Jane is wearing under her coat. Unless of course she thought a breastplate would be enough to ward off Malekith and she is painfully mistaken. In which case, Thor: The Dark World may make the bold (and, perhaps, contractually obligated) move of killing of Jane. Thor's Darth Vader-esque "NOOOOOOOOO!" plays to the theory.
And the big finish. Wondering where Loki has been since The Avengers? Apparently he's been locked in an Asgardian holding cell a la Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness and Javier Bardem in Skyfall, growing out his hair like an '80s rock icon and waiting patiently for Thor to return. He'll be back along Thor's side once again in Dark World (we actually see him scaling a mountain earlier in the trailer), but don't expect him to play too nice….

Gold leaf
This is the only body cream I use! It has a very clean smell. However with the Christmas rush my order went to someone else & I got a different order with someone else's receipt , but addressed to me. This has never happened to me! I will still order my favorite body creams even though they discontinued sweet baby leaf. ( my other favorite) . I will report this mixup Monday.
Absolutely Fabulous!
Goldleaf Body Creme is timeless, elegant, feminine and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky.I would prefer to have the Creme in a jar but the pump bottle is also fine. I have used Goldleaf products for at least 30 years and will continue using it.
Best fragrance anywhere
Besides Goldleaf being my favorite fragrance made by Thymes, this lotion is pure luxury. Ultra hydrating and moisturizing, absorbs immediately but I am left with the amazing Goldleaf fragrance. This is my must have lotion on my bedroom dresser. Even my cat loves it ... and she's very picky!!!
Host Mom

The coastline of Morocco is a seductive for beach lovers. It is has an amazing extension of sand that allows you to enjoy the sun and sea. In Casablanca, near the city, there are several places to choose from. And good ones. But to have more tranquility you'll have to deviate a bit from the center.
The most sought area is the Ain Diab and it is also the most interesting, since it is located in hotel area, full of restaurants and shops. You already know that the weather here is hot, which is a tempting invitation for a few great dives in the Atlantic or an afternoon of sunbathing. Around here are also some beach clubs like Le Tonga, Miami or Tahiti. Street vendors liven up the streets and defy the tourists to test their ability to bargain.Also in Casablanca, you can choose to go to La Corniche. It is known to be the most exclusive of "Casa ". You'll have to walk about 300 meters of sand till you reach the sea, so there is a lot of space to lay down. The sand is not very white, but it is a clean beach.Further down, between Casablanca and Rabat, is the district of Bouznika. Here you'll find little more of the traditional Moroccan features and do not be surprised if you see dressed women swimming. Furthermore, this beach is very popular for water sports, windsurfing or just a swim.

Smoked Viking Sea Salt - 2oz
Country of Origin: Denmark
We've tried many other smoked salts but they just don't compare with this amazing and intense salt made by one man in Denmark, who uses traditional salt-making methods that date back to the vikings. A number of different hardwoods are used in his fire that slowly evaporates the sea water and gives it the deep sappy smokiness that we love as a finishing salt on poached fish, soups or poached eggs. A little bit of this salt goes a long way. Please note spices are listed by volume, not weight.

My excuse for no blog posting has recently been a very good one. Thanks the generosity of my employers and the miracle of new life I have been on extended paternity leave. Now I'm back and raring to go again.
Global Village
My experience brought to mind the African proverb with a few variations which is in English summarized "it takes a village to raise a child" see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Takes_a_Village. To stretch the analogy I was well digger, dairyman, tailor, laundryman, waste disposal expert, heating and cooling engineer and took on lots of other roles only for three months and not all day every day at that. One of the many great things about new babies is that everybody loves them and everybody loves to help you do your work.
So I was thinking when I came back to my office in Detroit what collection of expertise is needed for a deployment of a software system like Capital. Capital has a large capacity to implement a re-engineering of design and manufacturing processes for our customers. Pilot projects and deployments both take collective effort.
- · A layer of leadership decide on goals and get results and to supervise and monitor the project, the possessors of authority to get things done.
- · The early adoption team to pathfind are specialists with in-depth knowledge of the way things truly work whose wisdom is put to work to fashion a practical application of the software.
- · Process experts are like scribes who write down the process, capture the methods to be followed, and then are the teachers who spread the knowledge through the community.
- · Then along come workers who follow the recommendations and the best practices and deliver the economic return from using the software.
When I've been feeding my child, changing diapers etc. and getting him off to sleep I'm the principal care giver for a time. However I didn't weave the blanket (his Grandma knitted it), and the music is Debussy's Arabesque featuring a piano soloist whose name I don't know, through the sparkling clarity of the British B&W speakers which is more soothing than my singing voice, then bathtime where the rubber ducky in the American bathtub was a gift from his aunt and made in China. The supporting cast is vast.
Now I'm back at work helping customers again, but it takes a village here too, not just little me alone. There are some other Mentor folks like the programmers and the product managers who put in the new features, and the consulting group often play role in customer success. But the most important contributions come of course from the customer. The customer's librarian worked hard to populate the definitions of devices and connectors. The customer managers reshuffled priorities in order to send people to training, and one engineer does one phase of the electrical design and hands on to another. Co-operating between OEM car maker, supplier and software tools vendor is taking place – different engineering groups within these organizations have liaison meetings and adjust behaviors and improve the processes and operate software tools to gain efficiencies. The customer's team is the most important factor in bringing success.
The villagers – people are the number one asset.
I know a much more than a fair amount about Capital having been with it from the start. But I have come back to work from my paternity leave with a refreshed understanding that on my own my help has limitations. Successfully getting the most out of Capital you need more than a single person – a lot of people have to show up for duty.
In a manner of speaking like the prosperous village needs a canoe builder, the shoemaker, the carpenter, the herbalist, the shepherd, the stone mason, the potter, thatcher and schoolteacher. You need the village people in a sense – but not the in the sense of the dancing and singing pop group who had success in the late 1970's – the cop, the native American, the construction worker and the leather-clad biker and the cowboy who collectively helped the German national soccer team to sing their official World Cup 1994 song. You can stretch analogies too far like this.
CHS succeeding in an enterprise is a collective effort.

The vaginitis wet mount test is a test to detect an infection of the vagina.
Wet prep
The discharge is sent to a lab. There, it is placed onto a slide. It is then viewed under a microscope and checked for signs of infection.
There may be slight discomfort when the speculum is inserted into the vagina.
The test looks for the cause of vaginal irritation and discharge.
A normal test result means there are no signs of an infection.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results mean there is an infection. The most common infections are due to one or a combination of the following:
There are no risks with this test.

One set of circumstances for marriage may consider, or not consider, the set of circumstances of another. That is why you have marriage, and why you have civil unions. The basic guidelines were adopted to fit the different circumstances. In this case, the requirements for marriage and civil unions differs, but both are afforded the same end results. You have yet to answer my question concerning the exact opposite senerio exists in civil unions, where age limitations are set on heterosexuals. I contend their are sound reasons why each has its own set of circumstances.
You can not have several spouses, isn't that discrimination? Should consenting adults be permitted to marry siblings or first cousins? Is every law about morality unconstitutional?

Dessert cocktails are usually not my thing. Their very etymology is redundant, and quite frankly, any drink sweet enough to merit the extra designation of "dessert" may as well just go by Insulintini as far as I'm concerned.
Dessert wines and dessert beers (the latter not a thing, really, but bear with me) tend to fall under that same philosophy, but in each case, I've got my much-cherished exception. For example, I love Moscato d'Asti, which is a peachy-flavored, pink-tinged, Italian sparkler that has become a hallmark of summer to me. Give me a split of Moscato and a porch on a 90-degree night and I'm completely in my cups (a phrase which, I swear to Bacchus, up until this very second I always thought meant just self-contentedly happy, but apparently it means happy via inebriation, which knowing me I can't argue against).
Beer-wise, I guess I would say I'm a sucker for coffee stouts and raspberry Hefeweizens; whether or not those should be called dessert beers I'll leave up to some other blog to decide.
So that brings me to La Naranja Blanca, which was invented by my cousin-in-law, Mark, and his girlfriend, Molly, during my most recent at-home cocktailing marathon (which also yielded yesterday's Income Tax Cocktail). I was kind of huddled in one corner of the kitchen experimentin' while they were cattycorner doing the same with all these coconut goodies I'd bought ages ago and never gotten around to using. La Naranja Blanca is a dessert cocktail I can get behind because it's got a lot going on and it manages to be sweet without being sugary (always my litmus test for any potation). Try it today!
La Naranja Blanca
1 1/2 ounces orange-infused Bacardi Gold Rum
1 1/4 ounces white creme de cacao
1 1/4 ounces Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut
1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water
3 dashes Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters
Orange twist, for garnish
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake thoroughly. Strain into chilled martini or cocktail glass. Garnish with orange peel.
Tasting Notes:
Info on how I made my orange-infused rum can be found here.
Canned coconut products run amok in my heavily-Dominican nabe, but you can purchase Coco Lopez on Amazon, too, believe it or not.
Orange blossom water, aka orange flower water, is new to my repertoire. I bought a bottle of it recently in Pittsburgh, of all places. There's a DIY recipe for orange blossom water here.

Considering how much Cameron Mackintosh has on his plate at any given moment, it's not surprising that it took the British mega-producer over 25 years to bring his time-honored classic musical Les Misérables to the big screen. For anyone who thinks they're busy, here's what is currently on Mackintosh's to do list: finalize the casting and design of the new version of Barnum; see rehearsals in Japan for a new version of Les Mis; finalize casting of the new version of Les Misérables in Toronto; audition for a production of Les Mis in Australia; oversee two versions of Mary Poppins on opposite ends of the Earth; prep the new and improved staging of Phantom of the Opera coming to Broadway; and help produce new productions of Oliver! being mounted in Korea and America.
"Plus, there are several new things in the works... I'm sure I've forgotten something," he says. Mackintosh is involved with every aspect of his productions — a reason why they're executed across the globe with masterful precision. He attributes that care to the success over the course of his career (the 2011 Sunday Times Rich List estimated his value at $1.1 billion). Shifting some meetings around to promote the Blu-ray release of his 2012 Oscar-nominated hit Les Misérables, we talked with Mackintosh on realizing the classic musical, what prevented it from happening 25 years ago, and when we'll see movie versions of his other popular properties (how is Miss Saigon not a movie yet?).
Clearly you're a busy man. How do you find time make a movie out of Les Misérables?
Cameron Mackintosh: It was quite a strain. An enjoyable one, but as I'm sure you know, with the film industry, it's not until they press the green button that everyone wants you to drop everything. Whereas what I do in the theater, because I'm so lucky to have many classic musicals, I'm two, three, sometimes even four years out planning how I'm going to put them on around the world. So it was a real strain over the last 18 months. I was on the set all the time. I didn't expect to be.
RELATED: Hugh Jackman Admits Singing In The Alps Is Harder Than 'Wolverine' Stunts
It came together quickly after years of being a possibility.
Mackintosh: The was that moment 25 years ago and the show opened on Broadway and we were going to do it. After five years, after Alan Parker [Midnight Express, Fame] couldn't wait any longer to make it, we didn't really find anyone else that I was happy with. There were sporadic calls over the years, but nothing really serious until Eric Fellner at Working Title [production company behind Les Misérables... said, 'Look, I'd like to have a serious talk with you.'
Why was this the moment when it finally took off?
Mackintosh:To be honest, it's really the fact that over the last five to eight years, people's acceptance of the musical form as widened. It's not an uncool thing for people to see musicals [laughs]. Whereas when I was starting 25 - 30 years ago, my friends didn't know if musical theater was something they wanted to see. Live music is generally something people want to go to now. The money is in live appearance. You have now an unheard of amount of pop theater music is played on prime time. It's on television, on the radio — people really embrace it.
So Glee, against all odds, has helped the world in some way.
Mackintosh: Yes, Glee, and Baz Luhrmann with Moulin Rouge. Evita happened. The huge success of Chicago. Indeed, Glee and Sweeney Todd and Mama Mia. All of these things have been growing and growing, and a couple of them have made serious money. The idea of a musical was no longer a, 'Oh, my dear. Nice idea, but no thanks.' I think we've hit the right moment. It also happened to be a practical right moment because it's a very first time a director approached me. At the time Tom Hooper came to see me, The King's Speech was still doing the rounds at film festivals. It hadn't gone into the cinemas. It hadn't gone from The King's Speech to The King's Speech. He just went to see the show, he had never seen it before. He thought it could be a really interesting movie. He had a point of view about it.
Of course, the cast we've been able to pull together. Most of them come or have some connection to musical theater. Most of them weren't born when I did the show originally! So we've literally grown the cast through the lifetime of the show. I don't honestly think, because I never got that far the first time around, that we would have been able to cast the film to the same extent. At that point we didn't envision it as a sung-through musical. Every studio we talked to went, 'No, you can have a lot of music, but we'd expect it to be a third spoken dialogue.' And unless we thought it was a problem, we were to go on with it.
Even with the first draft of Bill Nicholson's draft, there was a lot of dialogue in it. It was Tom Hooper who, as we started to go through it, said, 'I want to take all the marvelous stuff Bill has come up with and put more in. But I want it to be done and turned into the form that had been done for the stage show.' We pulled the stage show apart and used it as a bible to remake it as a movie, rather than just film the stage show. So we all sat around the piano and sang all the parts with Tom. We were far more brutal than Tom was. He started off thinking we'd be protective of our majorly successful baby, but we know she's a robust girl like Cosette!
RELATED: Samantha Barks On Singing In The Rain: 'Leave That Vocal Vanity at the Door'
Was there a specific moment of the show that you knew would be a challenge in the movie version?
Mackintosh:Having had the temerity with the fans to remake one of the most popular musicals ever, I knew as long as we did something they liked, delivered the same emotional impact as the original, they would relish the changes. When it came to the screen that there would be certain things. For instance, "One Day More," which is probably one of the greatest, theatrical End-of-Act-1 numbers ever written, all takes place in one place in a black box. You can not to do that. You cannot have marching peasants marching towards the audience. It would be ludicrous. That was a very hard piece for Melanie [Oliver, Editor] to cut and Tom to put together. Piece by piece... as we put it together, we realized we needed shots here, shots there, in order for it to have the drive in a cinematic way like it does on stage.
NEXT: Mackintosh Updates Us on 'Miss Saigon,' 'My Fair Lady' Movies
Was there something you thought of cutting that Tom insisted should stay?
Mackintosh:The only number that went was a number we always thought we wouldn't need for the movie because the movie allows you to explore characters in an easy way. We wouldn't need "Dog Eats Dog" because you get to know Thénardier much more from other shots in the film. You understood that side of his character, from the scene in the streets where they're getting money from Jean Valjean. That takes more screentime than it does in the show.
How have the success and failures of past musical adaptations influenced Les Misérables?
Mackintosh: I had nothing to do with the film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera, but to be honest, I would have wanted to do the film differently. This new version of Phantom of the Opera which we've done — I'm proud of the original production — but the new version is dangerous and gritty. It combines the world of upstage and the lair below. You see two different worlds. That would have been my approach to the film.
Are there any stories you want to tell exclusively in film?
Mackintosh:I would only have something to offer in helping my successful stage shows and giving them a cinematic life. I enjoy the adaptation when it's classic material.
I'm surprised more of them haven't happened. I look at Miss Saigon and think, 'this is a movie waiting to happen.'
Mackintosh: I think it is a movie waiting to happen. The thing is, as you know, it takes someone making a s**tload of money before they start making things. The fact that Les Misérables has made a great deal of money is going to encourage someone to do Miss Saigon. I do think the device of the show is inherently cinematic. It's already, with the dreams, allows you to do anything. In your head. Which is the thing that made Chicago work.
The thing that Les Misérables has proved, and the thing I'm glad Tom and I saw eye to eye about is recording it live. You needed to because it's completely acted. You only need to record some of Miss Saigon live, because it would be a visceral drama. The storytelling part of it. Other parts of it you can do in a more traditional way because it's about show business.
There had been rumors of a new Little Shop of Horrors. As someone who has been involved with that show in the past....
Mackintosh: I loved doing the original show with Howard Ashman, but David Geffen did the movie. It's certainly not a movie I would feel I've got anything to offer to. Or would I have time to do it. As you say, I've got things like Saigon, possibly Oliver! or My Fair Lady are more obvious for me to get involved with as movies.
RELATED: We Dream Cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 'Little Shop of Horrors' Remake
In theater, revivals are commonplace. In movies, people cry afoul when a remake is announced. Will there be room for a Les Misérables remake in the future thinking along the lines of how theater functions or is this the definitive version?
Mackintosh: Well, when they come around to doing it I'll be dead [laughs], so it probably won't be my question to answer. But if I found the right cast would I do My Fair Lady now? Yes I would. Because as much as I thought the original film had some amazing performances in it. I remember thinking as an arrogant producer — I was in school when it first came out — but I remember being struck that it was a rather stage-y film. I felt it was like huge theatrical sets. I think you could do a much more modern, fluid film.
It could feel like a real place.
Mackintosh: Yes. I think that's one of the strengths of Les Misérables. You feel like you've been taken to a world.
Is My Fair Lady a movie that you're actively developing?
Mackintosh: Because I staged the two major revivals in the last 20 years. My heart is very close to My Fair Lady. But there were various rights problems which are being finely sorted out as to when it can be made and remade. In the old days, you only made one movie! It's only in recent days that the word "remake" has had any significant effect. In the time these musicals were sold to Hollywood, people didn't have any interest in the theatrical world. They didn't think there was enough money in it. Now it's the opposite. All the film companies want to get into the theater world. Probably because Andrew [Lloyd Webber] and I have made so much money in it!
These days, every movie is being turned into a musical, for better or worse.
Mackintosh:Yes, for better or worse. You know, the real question — and it's always a difficult one — is, is there any reason for a particular subject to sing. Do you gain anything form them singing? For most stories, they don't gain. But when you get it right, it's marvelous.
With My Fair Lady, which is based more on Gabrielle Pascal's film, which was involved as co-screenwriter. The musical is based on the film rather than the original Pygmalion play. Just like Oliver!, another show I'm closely involved in and own part of the rights, that's based on the David Lean movie rather than the Dickens novel.
Films have always been a source for material, because you have to adapt a book to a movie. So that step of adaptation is always helpful. It was actually a musical that inspired Les Misérables. Alain Boublil had never seen a stage version of Oliver!, he had only seen the movie. As he watched this revival of Oliver!, in January of 1978, as the Artful Dodger is singing "Consider Yourself," suddenly in his mind popped Gavroche. By the end of the show, he thought, '[Les Misérables] could be a wonderful musical.' So he rang Tod Michelle in Paris and said, 'I found our next subject.'

Someone tell me this guy is not for real...and that he did not get this kind of stupid in public school. Is this the best that our public school system can turn out today???
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/geithne ... o-publish/
I laughed so hard when I realized the epitome of stupid here...until I realized this guy was in a top public office...and publicly schooled....and in a position of leadership.
Watch this quote..
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, speaking this morning on CNBC:
"That's the kind of balance you need," said Geithner. "Why is that the case? Because if you don't try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to — the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security." [/quote]
The "Privilege of being an American" ????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I missing something here? Being an American is a privilege granted by the Government??
Being a American is something issued by the Government????
Is this what they are teaching in public school today. Does no one catch it but me???
Do you have to be a public school graduate to "not catch on" to this stupidity???
Someone tell me how a pubic figure can make such a dumb stupid statement as "The Privilege of being an American" and no one ..even in the media catch on to it and call them on this???
I don't think being an American is a privilege controlled and regulated by the government. I believe it is something most Americans were born into and not issued by Government. This is called a right..a birthright. Right by birth...not issued by government. If anything ..government treads on an abuses this ...being an American through just such political hogwash.
Are we becoming that dumb that none of us catch this nonsense?? Is the media that stupid too...that none of them catch it??

The US/Mexico border is the most frequently crossed border in the world. There are currently 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States and over 60% are from Mexico. Close to half of the undocumented Mexican population entered the country illegally either by trekking thru the Arizona desert, wading across the Rio Grande or hiding in a cargo vehicle. Once in the US Undocumented Mexicans encounter low wages and poor/unsafe working conditions. The undocumented often find themselves struggling to survive in a country that needs them but has public disdain for them at the same time. The American media targets the "illegal alien" as the source of immigration problems and implies that the US alone needs to come up with a solution to combat this "invasion." However, the problems are bilateral as they involve two separate nations. The building of an impenetrable wall is what many Americans view as the only solution. A wall is only impenetrable if the guards are prepared to shoot anyone who attempts to penetrate it. A wall also further divides The United States from its neighbors.
Partition is a gallery installation of a dinner place setting that addresses the physical and mental borders that exists between the US and Mexico. The piece will consist of a table, two chairs, dinnerware and wallpaper. Partition uses the visual language and techniques of Product Design to spark conversation about a subject that so many Americans choose to ignore. Partition uses a dinner setting as a stage because many undocumented people who have crossed the border work in the service industry, particularly in the food industry.

One World Trade Center in New York will officially be the United States' tallest building when completed, beating out Chicago's Willis Tower. It was recently decided that the 408-foot needle atop the building would be counted in the total height of the tower. See how One World Trade Center stacks up against other tall buildings.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife look over an artist's rendering of the building during a tour of the 20th floor on March 15.
The building currently has 100 floors and stands 1,244 feet tall.
When all 104 stories are completed by 2014, 1 WTC will stretch 1,776 feet into the Manhattan skyline. Here's how it will stack up to the world's tallest buildings.
Burj Khalifa, also known as Burj Dubai or Dubai Tower in the United Arab Emirates, is the tallest building in the world at 2,717 feet tall.
A massive 60-foot spire makes Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan the third-tallest building in the world at 1,667 feet.
A trapezoid-shaped opening near the top reduces wind pressure on the world's fourth-tallest tower, the 101-story (1,614 feet tall) Shanghai World Financial Center in China.
The International Commerce Centre in Kowloon, Hong Kong, comes in at No. 5, at a height of 1,588 feet and 108 stories.
Tall spires atop the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, make them the sixth-tallest (tied) at 1,483 feet.
China's Zifeng Tower, which opened in 2010, comes in at No. 7 on the list, rising to a height of 1,476 feet.
The Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, was the tallest building in the world when it opened in 1974 and retained that title until the Petronas Towers opened in 1998. Today, it's the eighth-tallest in the world and the tallest in North America at 108 stories and 1,451 feet. One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in North America when a spire installed on the top topped it out at 1,776 feet, but the New York building is still under construction.
The Guangzhou West Tower, located in Guangzhou, China, is the world's 10th-tallest building, coming in at 1,439 feet and 103 stories.
America's current second-biggest building is located just blocks away from it's tallest. The Trump International Hotel and Tower, which opened in Chicago in 2009, rises to a height of 1,389 feet and 98 stories, making it the world's 11th-tallest building.
The towering Jin Mao Building in Shanghai, China, reflects traditional Chinese architecture and rounds out the top 10 list at 1,380 feet, but it's spot on the list won't last long.
The Kingkey 100, scheduled for completion in Shenzhen, China, in late 2011, will slot in at No. 8 on this list at 1,449 feet once it opens.
When it was constructed in 1931, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the World. Today, it's ranks 19th at 1,250 feet tall and and 102 floors.

butter LONDON Customer Reviews
IT WORKS! - 2/16/2015 4:17:17 PM My thin ridge filled, weak nails are growing. I've tried 1/2 dozen of these nail treatments and none have worked as well as this. It even seems to be smoothing out the ridges. Only been using for 3 weeks and already my nails are longer and stronger and not splitting.Nice Assortment - 12/23/2014 11:07:58 AM Butter London has quickly become my favorite brand of lip color. This is the best of both worlds, because you get color without the dryness of lipstick or the stickiness of lip gloss. I love the colors aside from the red. I would have preferred the red to be a bit deeper shade. It is a little bright for my taste and complexion, so I just use it to top a deeper shade of red lipstick that I already have.Best Blush - 12/16/2014 4:01:23 AM Naughty Biscuit is a very natural color. Cream blush is very easy to control and blends better.Great Product - 8/20/2014 9:19:32 AM I have natural nails and I do my own manicure weekly. This cuticle remover is great. Fast and effective. A bit pricey but the benefits make it worth the price.Best eyeliner - 7/31/2014 1:39:22 AM I absolutely love this liner, easy to use, only need one coat, very sexy liner. You need eye make up remover to get it off but it is definitely worth the purchase.Sophisticated nude - 5/28/2014 8:27:44 AM This is my go-to color when I don't want to go red or any darker shade. Superb coverage, and with two coats it does have a slight lavender undertone, but still my idea of a perfect nude. I always brush a bit across and under the nail tip to make my manicure last longer...and remember to wear rubber gloves when doing any dishes. Your manicure with last with minimal touch-up.Not my red - 5/16/2014 11:36:30 AM I love a deep, rich red nail lacquer, and that's what this appears to be in the online image. However, the actual color, when applied, is a chintzy looking cherry red, rather childish, not the sophisticated deep red I expected. I applied a coat of my favorite OPI "Kennebunkport" over it and was much more pleased with the result. Other than the choice of this color, I love the Butter London line of nail care and have converted to the full line.Great for dry lips - 5/16/2014 4:12:08 AM This is the best lipstick I've ever used. It has totally changed my lips. I used to have dry cracky lips, now they are never dry. It is also smooth and soft on my lips. Thanks butter!Heavenly - 5/7/2014 12:54:39 PM I don't understand the previous reviewer's comments about this smelling like mothballs. The aroma is actually quite addictive - like a pina colada, very fruity and summery. One application on my cuticles and they immediately felt soft. I have just transitioned all my nail care and color to Butter London and am loving the line. Pricey compared to other brands, but a little of everything goes a long way, so an excellent value in my opinion.One of the best lacquers! - 4/7/2013 11:17:42 AM I layered it over my gel nails to make my investment last long. When I got too lazy to go to the salon for a new pedi I just added a new layer of lacquer and it looked like a fresh pedi! -

Photo Credit Carmen Holt
Unofficial record holder: Westin St. Francis
Location: San Francisco
Holiday Season 2008
Your standard gingerbread house this is not! Inspired by the chateaus of southwestern France, pastry chef Jean Francois Houdré, a.k.a. the "King of the Castle," first developed this edible Sugar Castle in 2005. Over the years, he has added elements to his colossal confection, which now boasts 20 grand circular towers, 30 rooms, and illuminated windows, all surrounded by a quaint village and a running train. Over the last two months, Houdré has been preparing and assembling the giant castle, which contains:
- 70 pounds of gingerbread
- 130 pounds of pastillage (a powdered sugar, egg white, and gelatin dough)
- 40 pounds of pulled and bubble sugar
- Royal icing made of 300 pounds of sugar and egg whites
- 40 pounds of molasses
- 60 pounds of flour
- 100 pounds of Christmas candy
The Sugar Castle is on display at the Westin St. Francis from November 28, 2008, till January 2, 2009.

Tuitioning high school students impacts warrant decisions
Thursday, February 14, 2013
