Cabaret show takes musical look at '60s move 'up north'
A self-described "change-of-life baby," Sheri Williams Pannell was born in Milwaukee, but her parents and siblings - older by as much as 20 years - hail from Louisiana.
"Goin' Up North," a cabaret piece she conceived and will also direct, tells the story of their journey north. Except for opening night, it will be staged after each Friday and Saturday performance of Skylight Music Theatre's production of "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article
Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)
'Gravity' meets the government shutdown on 'SNL'
After hitting the mark with its Miley Cyrus-centric episode last week, "Saturday Night Live" slipped back into its familiar monotonous groove with an episode hosted by Bruce Willis.
The highlight might have been the opening "Gravity" meets the government shutdown sketch that opened the show. »Read Full Blog Post

Thanks for the…spice rack?
So, you participated in The Dirty Santa Game at the office, eh? And, you ended up with a spice rack…perfect, just what you needed, right? LOL!
Or, maybe you're like me and thought it was a good purchase when you made it. Now, years later it still has stale basil and it's collecting dust…AND counter space!
After some soaking and washing in warm water and soap, it can easily be turned into a button/brad organizer! It was a little tedious dividing my buttons into color groups, but I love that I can find the button I want to in no time at all! Sure beats my one-can method 😉 I bet you could find one easily at your local thrift store!
Merry Christmas to all!

The miracle beer diet.
With every diet there's a few catches and I don't beer is really the permanent weight loss solution we should be looking at. But it seems to have worked for this lovely lady. Perhaps we should stay off the pies, pizzas and other delicious bar snacks while we are drinking this tasty amber liquid- but they are just so tasty. I feel so guilty eating this bowl of nuts with my pint… oh-well they a few more and they will be all gone. ….better think about going back to the bar!

I am using the most common wifi standard so that it would be detected well. I had enabled boot from lan. But when I try to connect a machine it is not working. I was able to do that properly on Windows XP system. It looks I am failing somewhere in this part. I need some help here to boot from lan on Vista platform. Is there a requirement for some additional software.

This is how you market real estate and take advantage of social media. Draw attention like this fantastic video drew ours! It was created by Tronic Studio in New York, the same team that is busy putting on the finishing touches on the TCH TV video we will be showing here next week!
The real estate in question here is the 57-story luxury residence, 56 Leonard, in Tribeca, designed by the Pritzker-prize winning, Beijing Bird Nest-creating Swiss firm of Herzog & de Meuron. Tronic tapped into their architecture background to envision this video where the elements of each floor fall down from the Manhattan sky and land on the custom-designed sculpture by Anish Kapoor. Absolutely brilliant.- Bill Tikos
New York artist Tom Fruin's outdoor sculpture Kolonihavehus in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen has the appearance of a friendly and colourful stained-glass house, yet it also evokes thoughts of churches and Charles Rennie Macintosh.
Fruin's sculpture is constructed of a thousand reclaimed pieces of plexiglass ranging in size from 2x2 to 24x36 inches. They originate from many sources, including a closed- down plexi distributorship near Copenhagen, a framing shop, the basement of the Danish State Art Workshops, and the dumpsters outside the Danish Architecture Center.
The sculpture was brought to life by daily performances by Copenhagen-based CoreAct headed by Anika Barkan and Helene Kvint. The performances included poetry of the Danish Vagn Steen, Computer-controlled light sequences by Nuno Neto and a sound installation by Astrid Lomholt.
Kolonihavehuses were originally small garden sheds that were designed to give cramped and often impoverished city-dwellers a small plot and a refuge from city life. - Bill Tikos
Seriously one of the greatest mountain bike edits you'll ever witnessed. Impressive filming and riding.
The song is by Radical Face - Welcome Home
Creative duo Kirsten Rutherford and Lisa Jelliffe from London's Brothers & Sisters agency drew our attention to their current poster installation "Making the invisible visible" that hit the streets of London this past weekend.
It is a collaboration with the Berlin-based, three-person photographic street art collective Mentalgassi in support of Amnesty International.
The London poster campaign is specifically in support of Troy Davis, a man described as having "been on death row for 19 years in the USA, despite serious doubts about his conviction."
The posters, depicting a close-up Davis's face, are mounted on fence railings that disguise the posters so that the face behind the bars is revealed only when viewed from an angle. View the video.
The three posters are located at 4-7 Great Pulteney St, 21 Great Pulteney Street, and 5 Berners St (all W1). - Bill Tikos
TCH has been active online for 6 years and sometimes it seems we forget how amazing it is that the community that follows us just keeps growing. Many of our articles are read by millions of people, and the numbers of regular readers, followers, friends keeps growing and growing.
To celebrate this community, we commissioned artist Fernando Volken Togni from Brazil to create a poster. It reflects the multicultural, multi-discipline, multi-everything environment of the cool world of TCH.
Fernando also designed one of our car wraps which will be available in 2011.
It's The Cool Hunter logo as an art installation. Gabriel Dawe's colourful 'Plexus installation is currently showing at the Dallas Contemporary in Texas.
The construction is made out of gütermann thread, wood and nails attached at either end to blocks of wood, the effect is like a real-world version of computer generated imagery. Stunning.
Matchstick Art of the Day: Pei-San Ng's "Passion" — 2,500 matches glued to a piece of reclaimed plywood.
Dutch artists, mother and daughter Michèle Deiters and Bibi van der Velden, have created a series of sculptures that demand a double take. Their new partnership, Bibi Michèle, combines van der Velden's conceptual vision with Deiters's sculptural talents. The resulting pieces of art seem both new and timeless. The reflecting surfaces of the bold human-head sculptures incorporate the texture and light of the surroundings, and ask the viewer to participate.
The viewers can also see themselves reflected back from the sculptures which evokes a feel of conversation and communication. According to the artists, the viewer is an essential ingredient in the art by contributing emotion.
Weightlessness and an eerie out-of-placeness characterize the powerful pieces that are the duo's first main body of work as a team. - Tuija Seipell

Bachmann suggests on House floor that Obama's in bed with terrorists
There she goes again. Michele Bachmann took to the House floor yesterday to suggest that the President of the United States and the U.S. Attorney general wanted the guy who claims to be the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to recant his confession.
The CIA moved KSM and about a dozen other al-Qaida members to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2006. A 2005 Justice Department memo revealed he had been waterboarded 183 times in March 2003. That news once prompted Jesse Ventura to tell CNN's Larry King, "You give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders."
Here's what she said: "Did the president, did the attorney general, all say to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 'Now wait a minute. You don't want to plead guilty. Wait a minute. You don't want to be executed. You want to come to New York City. You want to have the trial, just like you asked for in the first place.' Why would we do that? Because all we will be saying. All the message we will be sending to future terrorists will be, 'You too can have a show trial in the city of your choice if you come to America."

I recently had my alternator replaced and literally the moment it was started and backed up the power steering acted like it had air in the line. Still does, in fact, but now I have a serious problem: my transmission is leaking like a seive, and the leak seems to be in the vicinity of the mounting bolts for the underside of the Alternator. Anybody got any suggestions or clues for me?

Gov. Corbett 'concerned' about probe of son-in-law
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett says he's "surprised and concerned" to hear reports about an investigation of his son-in-law, a Philadelphia narcotics police officer.
Several media outlets citing anonymous sources are reporting Corbett's son-in-law is under investigation by the FBI and internal police investigators.
Corbett says in a statement: "I was surprised and concerned to learn about the allegations regarding my son-in-law Gerold Gibson. Susan and I continue to give our family our love and support."
A message left Friday for Corbett's daughter was not immediately returned. She works as a deputy attorney general in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Police Department said an officer was placed on administration leave as a result of an investigation but gave no details. The officer's name wasn't released because he was not arrested or charged with a crime.

Romeo and Juliet
THE OUTBREAK OF PLAGUE that, early in 1593, had closed the playhouses and dispersed the players, was among the severest that had yet attacked London. Month by month, the toll of deaths increased. At the beginning of June, the Court left for Windsor, whence Londoners and citizens of other infected places were commanded to absent themselves; in July, the holding of Bartholomew Fair was temporarily prohibited; and, on August 14th, it was reported that, during the course of a single week, between seventeen and eighteen hundred persons had died within the walls of the City alone. Until autumn came, there was no relief from the sickness. Meanwhile Shakespeare was no doubt travelling; or maybe he had returned to Stratford. He had used his leisure to write Venus and Adonis; and, at the same time, he appears to have composed a new comedy, Love's Labour's Lost, which many scholars believe was specially written for a private audience. That audience may have been Southampton's party, assembled like the narrators of the Decameron in his country house at Titchfield. It is an odd and interesting play; and what distinguishes it from earlier and later comedies is not its construction but its general tone. It seems to have been designed less to please the groundlings than to amuse a small sophisticated group, who would appreciate all the esoteric jokes with which the text is thickly strewn. It suggests a fashionable pantomime, full of snip-snap repartee;1 and the points made in its dialogue are____________________

John Lurie in "Stranger Than Paradise"
The feature that broke Jarmusch out into the world, and certainly contributed to the definition of Independent American Cinema if it didn't solely define it, Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise" was only his second full-length film, but remains a touchstone today, especially for purists who regard it as the least compromised sampler of his particular vision. While we ourselves are fans of his later, more "compromised" work, we do have a very soft spot in our hearts for this seminal indie, of which the undeniable lynchpin is the central performance by John Lurie. In fact, this was already Jarmusch's second collaboration with Lurie who featured in his debut "Permanent Vacation," but here the rangy, impassive actor really has to carry to the loose-limbed, glamorous anti-glamor of Jarmusch's nascent style, and he does so in oddly touching style. Willie is a slacker and an idler and has nothing much of anything going on, but he's a strangely relatable one, and while his friendships with his visiting cousin (Eszter Balint) and equally shiftless companion Eddie (Richard Edson) may be grudging and largely unremarked upon, he manages to sell us on their depth. Perhaps that's the greatest trick of this performance, managing to convey depth in a character whose defining trait might be shallowness, and doing so with such undeniable cool that it makes his desire to live large with minimal effort, all the while buffeted along by the winds of chance and happenstance and his own indifference, seem somehow noble.
Youki Kudoh in "Mystery Train"
If "Mystery Train" is indeed "a valentine to the allure of the American way of pop culture" then Youki Kudoh's performance, as one half of the Japanese couple that make up the "Far from Yokohama," first segment in the triptych, the pink lipstick heart that dots the "i." Not only the center of the film's most affecting segment, Kudoh also provides its most memorable moments, bouncing through the wasteland landscape with her suitcase suspended on a stick between her and her boyfriend (Masatoshi Nagase), lighting his cigarette with a zippo held between her toes, or, most iconically, smearing his mouth with lipstick in a messy kiss in an effort to change his mood. As with other great Jarmusch performances that don't have the benefit of a whole film in which to play out, Kudoh does a fine job of making us feel like her Mitsuko, aside from her wonky belief system which unites the Empire State Building with Elvis and Madonna in some sort of weird trinity, has a whole life outside this story. And so in contrast to some actors' interpretation of the Jarmusch style, which is to go to the more artificial, airless end of the spectrum, Kudoh is in fact a breath of fresh air, a breeze that blows through the film, and again shows us that while Jarmusch may have a strong affinity for the recurring character of the impassive, deadpan man whose droll reactions to the world are so minimal as to be absurdist, when he happens upon that character's converse, as with Roberto Benigni or Kudoh here, he's just as enchanted. And so Kudoh pouts and fidgets and frowns and pulls faces, but she's totally unmannered for all that, and delivers a charming performance that might not be among the most typical of Jarmusch's canon but certainly feels like one of the freest.
Tilda Swinton in "Broken Flowers"
Of the many terrific female performance in "Broken Flowers" (really Jessica Lange, Sharon Stone or Frances Conroy could also have taken this spot), we're giving the entry to Swinton for a couple of reasons. Obviously, her glorious turn in "Only Lovers Left Alive" is still fresh in our minds, but also she plays so against type here, and takes the role of the final ex of Don's toward whom the film's rhythm has been crescendoing, that she's in many ways got the trickiest part of all. Also, the bitterness and rancor that her character, Penny, still harbors toward Don is in marked contrast to the curiosity, defensiveness, or nostalgia-tinged melancholia that has characterized some of his previous encounters, and so it shifts the tone of the film, making serious and consequential what could otherwise drift off into some picaresque flight of fancy. But Swinton is nothing if not resolutely committed and supremely confident in the role of the trailer-park biker chick, in fact she's so convincing we barely recognise her as the cultured, alabaster aesthete she has more recently played for the same director. And of all the many exchanges in a film brimming with two-hander scenes, she's such a perfect foil to Murray's Don that we could watch the two of them play off each other forever. In fact, our only criticism here is that there's not enough of her--still, that she manages to wring so much out of so little screen time is little short of amazing.
Forest Whitaker in "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai"
If this list has an outlier, this is probably it, but then the film it comes from is, as much as any, an outlier too. Forest Whitaker's performance in "Ghost Dog: Way Of The Samurai" is unusual in the Jarmusch canon for being so absolutely without irony, despite the fact he's playing perhaps the most outrageously off-the-wall of the director's characters: a misfit loner obsessed by the Japanese Samurai tradition who repays a debt to the mob by becoming their hitman, only commuicates via carrier pigeon, and has no friends bar a little girl and a Haitian ice cream man who speaks no English (the also-terrific Isaach de Bankole). With all that potential wackiness, Whitaker's instinct to play Ghost Dog absolutely straight is somehow crucial to the effectiveness of this defiantly odd genre mashup (hip-hop, mafia movies and Kurosawa). No matter how batshit the details are around him, Ghost Dog himself remains a soulful, touching figure. He's a sad, isolated man who has taken refuge in a code that no one else understands, and that provides no comfort or redemption for the terrible things he does in its name, and no defence when his "masters" turn upon him for their own petty reasons. There is a perfectly valid reading of the film that suggests that Ghost Dog is simply flat-out insane, but Whitaker manages to preserve all possible ambiguities for the character by playing him with absolute conviction and sincerity, never winking at the audience, and never suggesting that the character himself is anything but totally self-serious. It makes the skewed tragedy of how it all unfolds cut all the deeper, and is one of the most fascinating aspects of one of Jarmusch's oddest movies — odd especially because it's possible (even if we wouldn't suggest doing so) to view it as the most straightforward genre movie in his filmography.
Tom Waits in "Down By Law"
With almost every Tom Waits movie performance a portrait of marginalization, usually he's on the edges of the story, a little texture for the background, as with "The Fisher King" playing a Vietnam vet/"moral red traffic light" or in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" as a deranged, bug-eating lackey Renfield. But Jarmusch has specialized in bringing fringe characters in from the margins and placing them front and center, and so in "Down by Law" we get the main-course helping of Waits that we've always craved, in a role that, unlike say his turn in "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" feels like it was written not just for him, but from him. The chemistry between the central trio of John Lurie, Roberto Benigni and Waits is a joy but Waits' character, Zack, the paradoxically un-chatty radio DJ, is arguably the most nuanced of the three, with Waits' aura of broken Americana optimism, so familiar to fans of his early music, perfectly jibing with Jarmusch's beat-noir ethos. Now, the friendship that grudgingly builds between the three men, particularly Zack and Jack, feels almost redemptive and is the most moving part of the film, so it's difficult to discuss this performance in isolation, yet there is still a particular melancholy (oh, this "sad and beautiful world") that Waits projects even when he's not saying anything, or interacting at all. Waits has such personality, and exudes such a personal, idiosyncratic charisma from the bullish set of his face to his hangdog, twitchy physicality to the gorgeous gravel of his voice, that it's hard to know how much he's acting, and how much Jarmusch shifted the orbit of the film around his persona, but however it happened, the result is totally synchronous. In fact in the film's preference for langorous takes and atmospheric visuals over snappy storytelling it's possible to see a correlation with Waits' music which is often as much about rhythm and mood as melody. It's hard to see Waits ever delivering a movie performance more defining than this one, (his soundtrack is pitch-perfect too), so it's a good thing the infinite rewatchability of "Down by Law" means he doesn't really have to.
Jarmusch's films are so liberally peppered with spicy cameos and surprising bit parts that we easily could have filled this list three times over. But some that actually hurt us to exclude were: Screamin' Jay Hawkins' deeply funny supporting role as the concierge in "Mystery Train," if for no other reason than it's such a sweet call back to his version of "I Put a Spell On You" which was such an intrinsic part of Jarmusch's breakthrough, "Stranger than Paradise"; basically the entire, stacked supporting cast of "Dead Man," (Michael Wincott, Jared Harris, Iggy Pop, Billy Bob Thornton, John Hurt, Robert Mitchum, Alfred Molina, Lance Henrikson, Crispin Glover, Gabriel Byrne, the Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes et al) but the greatness of Gary Farmer as Nobody in particular; and that's all before we even get into "Coffee and Cigarettes" in which the Bill Murray, RZA & GZA segment, as well as the Steve Coogan/Alfred Molina one are probably our favorites, closely chased by Cate Blanchett meeting herself and the Roberto Benigni/Steven Wright one that started it all.
Still, all that said, we just know with a resume this crammed with delicious, fetishizable performances, we'll have missed some that you adore, so tell us all about them below. And in the meantime, because it's the greatest thing ever, check out the entire Jim Jarmusch episode of "Fishing With John," the bafflingly short-lived, now Criterion-approved show in which John Lurie takes a succession of his friends out fishing.

Further growth for state should be focus of 2013 Legislature
OKLAHOMA'S workers' compensation system is broken. It has been for a long time. Lawmakers have passed many reforms through the years, but those changes amounted to nibbling at the margins. Wholesale change is needed.
This is the year to make that happen, and there's momentum for it as the first session of the 54th Legislature gets set to convene Monday.
Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa, has vowed to make a major comp system overhaul his priority. "You go around and talk to small business, really any business in Oklahoma, and they say the No. 1 issue is workers' comp," Bingman told us recently. He supports replacing our current system with an administrative system.
We hope Bingman has plenty of company. Oklahoma's court-based system sees too many cases being litigated, which drives up costs for employers and often delays the time before injured workers return to their jobs. The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services found that Oklahoma's workers' comp rates were sixth-highest in the nation. Index rates in every state bordering Oklahoma are at least 41 percent lower.
The disaster that is our current system is illustrated in the case of state Rep. Mike Christian, R-Oklahoma City. After waiting more than a year to even file a claim, he was awarded more than $51,000 for a car accident that took place on his way to the Capitol. Workers' comp doesn't apply to average citizens driving to work. Somehow it applied for Christian's accident.
Mary Fallin for years led the charge for workers' comp reform as lieutenant governor. Now, as governor, she's far more subdued. Her husband, an attorney, makes his living at the court. Nevertheless, Fallin needs to support any meaningful reform legislation that makes it to her desk.
In the area of protecting recent education reforms, Fallin should play a forceful role. Efforts to roll back or weaken those changes are never-ending; the work of protecting them should be too. The same can be said of corrections. A justice reinvestment bill approved in 2012 has a chance to reduce crowding in our prisons and save money for the Department of Corrections — but only if the reforms are carried out by the various agencies involved. Being smart on crime isn't the same as being soft on crime. Oklahoma needs smarter corrections policy.
As the session dawns, we renew our call for caution where the state income tax is concerned. Last year saw efforts to slash the 5.25 percent top rate by half or even to eliminate the tax. Those plans failed. The present maximum rate needs to be reduced, but better to do it slowly and responsibly.
And speaking of being responsible, using bond issues to pay for some of the state's infrastructure needs (state Capitol complex, state medical examiner's office, for example) is something lawmakers must consider. Rejecting the idea on strictly ideological grounds is the height of irresponsibility. Fallin, Bingman and House Speaker T.W. Shannon, R-Lawton, need to demonstrate solid leadership in this area.
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention our persistent plea for lawmakers to avoid partisan sideshows and trivial pursuits, even if such pleas tend to fall on deaf ears. Unlike most recent sessions, the 2013 Legislature has growth revenue to work with. Lawmakers should focus on what will help produce more growth revenue, starting with a workers' comp system makeover, sensible income tax restructuring, infrastructure repair and finding ways to make state government smarter, more efficient and more focused on core functions.

a Novell authorized reseller. I started a business servicing Novell networks and installing them for lawyers. I successfully implemented a $110,000 network for a client. In so doing, I overwhelmed myself with work and found myself short of some experience, so I put the business on hold and went to work for a large company on a project team implementing a client server network of 7,000 computers (NT).
I have drifted from a fairly technical IT background to a project management background, yet I am currently no longer certified in either. I have racked my brains wondering which way to go -- technical or PMP.
I hold an electrical engineering degree and am currently 50 years old. I am concerned that a PMP designation would not be valuable without a technical certification. I feel I am getting too old to do the technician type of work. Could I use my background and technical prowess and become a consultant in this market? What career path would you suggest? Is it worth getting an MCSE and security background at this late date? The experience factor concerns me. I feel it's too late. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
In your various musings and the information you provide in your posting, I see you leaning away from working as a technical contributor and more as a project manager or consultant. My gut feeling is that given your background and interests, you would find the PMP to be sufficient to keep yourself busy for the next three to four years. You're also right to be concerned, however, about keeping your technical knowledge at a level where you can manage technical contributors effectively. To that end, it might also be worthwhile to obtain and maintain an MCSA rather than going for the full-blown MCSE. This requires taking four exams to obtain and a single exam to upgrade, and might be just the solution to your dilemma.
On the other hand, if you're interested in security, you might consider going after the Security+ and then the CISSP, assuming you can meet the latter credential's stringent "four years of relevant OTJ experience or three years plus a college degree" requirement. Security is a VERY hot field right now and full of opportunity for the foreseeable future.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
