About Will Evans
Above - A signed photograph of Will Evans in his early years - Kindly sent in by his Grandson Bill Evans.
Will Evans was a well known name in Music Hall and Pantomime in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He was the son of Fred Evans, a clown in the Grimaldi tradition. Fred Evans is known to have performed in a benefit for W. Holland, along with Arthur Lloyd, and many big names of the day, at the Surrey Theatre in February 1880.
Will Evans is often said to have made his first appearance with his father when aged just six years old in a production of 'Robinson Crusoe' at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1881, however, I have a copy of Will Evans birth certificate which clearly states that he was born on the 29th of May 1866 so the year for this event is clearly wrong and I can find no mention of it in archive newspaper reports of the time.
Anyway, Will Evans went on tour with his father's comedy company for many years before returning to London in 1890 to perform in the Music Halls with his first wife Ada Luxmore. After she died he carried on as a solo artiste and comedian. His specialty was playing in comic domestic dramas, now better known as farces, the most popular of which were `Building a Chicken House', 'Whitewashing the Ceiling', and 'Papering a House'. He was often to be seen in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane's regular Christmas Pantomimes.

Evans was also the co writer of a play called 'Tons of Money' along with Archibald Pechey. The play was written in 1914 but was not seen on stage until 1922 at the first Shaftesbury Theatre in London. It subsequently transferred to the Aldwych Theatre where it became the first of a series of successful farces.

It has also come to light recently that Will Evans also co-wrote a play called 'The Other Mr Gibbs' with R. Guy Reeve (shown right). It was a typical farce in the Aldwych style, involving a man called Mr. Gibbs who wants to attend a meeting about a gold mine he has put all his money in to, but at the same time needs to be at a family meeting with his wife's mother about her proposed will. The plot involves him hiring a music hall actor to impersonate him at the family meeting and the farce descends into cases of mistaken identity and the wife not knowing who her husband is.

In the biography of the Theatre producer J. Bannister Howard, who produced the Aldwych Farces, he says:- 'During a visit to Manchester with my Florodora company in 1921 my wife and I were sitting one evening in the midland Hotel, when Will Evans and his wife entered. Will had been playing at the Ardwick Empire. He came up to me and said "Hullo Bannister will you read a farce of mine if I lend it to you?" "ok" we took the script upstairs to bed and I was just dozing off when my wife began screaming with laughter. "What on earth is the matter" I said, she replied this is the funniest thing I have ever read".

In a later chapter Howard says: - "I wish I could say that I followed up Ton's of Money with a similar fortune maker but alas such plays do not fall from heaven too often- at least not in these days. I thought I was onto another good thing when I secured another farce from Will Evans. This was "The other Mr. Gibbs" which I staged at the Garrick with a fine cast which included Robert Hale, Mary Brough, and Kate Cutler. It made money but I regret to say it was not another Ton's of Money" - J. Bannister Howard 'Fifty Years a Showman' published 1938 Hutchinson.
(The above information on Will Evans' and R. Guy Reeve's play 'The
Other Mr Gibbs' was kindly sent in by Reeve's maternal Great Grandson
Jason Mullen who says: 'My Maternal Great Grandfather R. Guy Reeve 1879-1933
was born in London but moved to Manchester
as a child, he was a shipping agent for New York store Arnold and Constable
and co., (founded by his great uncle) who after world war one took to
writing songs and sketches for George Formby snr amongst others - Jason
Mullen 2013.)
Will Evans wrote many of his own songs and sketches for his appearances in the Music Halls and became a much loved part of the Music Hall scene. He died in 1931.

Whenever my wife has to tell me something she knows I won't like she adopts a certain tone that I immediately recognize as "The Bad News Voice". The bad news voice works just like the serious voice a teacher used, it tells me that this is no bullshit and I'd better pay attention. Sometimes the bad news voice will alert me to the fact that I need to take action, she'll look at me very seriously and say:
"We're out of gin"
Or she will use it to break things to me gently:
"We're out of gin and the Mets are losing"
Finally it can also be used for straight up bad news:
"We're out of gin and the robots have risen up against their human masters"
This morning I was still half asleep when I heard the bad news voice.
"Honey… Paul Newman died"
I was still half asleep and confused at to how she knew this while still lying in bed, had he died in our bedroom while we slept? She showed me her blackberry and explained that Twitter had broken the news. I wasn't even fully awake and I was sad already. I knew he was sick it didn't make the news any easier to hear. Paul Newman may be my favorite actor ever; he was an easy guy to admire both on and off screen and I'll miss him.
I still remember how I first learned who Paul Newman was. It was 1983 and we had just gotten a VCR so my mother sat me, my brother and sister down to watch a movie as a family. That movie was Slapshot. I was 9 years old and my brother and sister were 6 and 5 years old respectively. Sure it may seem like an odd family movie but my mother wanted us to appreciate the best things in life. We appreciated it just fine and from then on we were allowed to play hockey in the house…we'd re-enact the fight scenes while she played the Paul Newman coach role. After that we'd rent Slapshot out at least once a month, It would be a another year or more before I discovered that Newman was in other movies. Over the years I've seen almost everything he's done and I'm hard pressed to pick which one I like best unless I'm looking for a family film, then it's Slapshot every time.

|Research Area:
|Motion Tracking
|In progress
|Project leaders:
|Wang Yan
|Xiaoye Han
Adaptive tracking-by-detection methods use previous tracking results to generate a new training set for object appearance, and update the current model to predict the object location in subsequent frames. Such approaches are typically bootstarpped by manual or semi-automatic initialization in the first several frames. However, most adaptive tracking-by-detection methods focus on tracking of a single object or multiple unrelated objects. Although one can trivially engage several single object trackers to track multiple objects, such solution is frequently suboptimal because it does not utilize the inter-object constraints or the obejct layout information [2].
Without Constraint
In multiple object case, compared with the single object version, we add constraint that two or more objects can not appear in the same location in one frame, as well as the objects layout information. The training set includes a frame set \(\{ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \}\) indexed by time, and \(\{ \mathbf{Y}_1, \mathbf{Y}_2, \ldots, \mathbf{Y}_n \}\) is the correspond set of structured labels, where \(\mathbf{Y}_i = (\mathbf{y}_i^{(1)}, \mathbf{y}_i^{(2)}, \ldots, \mathbf{y}_i^{(K)})\) indicates the bounding boxes corresponding to \(K\) objects in frame \(i\). If the \(k\)-th object does not appear in the \(i\)-th frame, \(\mathbf{y}_i^{(k)}=null\). We design a function \(f(x, \mathbf{Y})\) such that the object locations \(\mathbf{Y}^*\) in frame \(x\) are given by maximizing
f(x, \mathbf{Y}) = \sum_{k = 1}^K \langle \mathbf{w}^{(k)}, \Psi(x|_{\mathbf{y}^{(k)}}) \rangle + \langle \mathbf{v}, \Phi(\mathbf{Y}; \mathbf{Y}_{i - 1}) \rangle, \tag{6}
where \(\mathbf{Y}_{i-1}\) is the layout in \(i-1\)-th frame and \(\Phi(\mathbf{Y}; \mathbf{Y}_{i - 1})\) is the layout feature of size \(\binom{K}{2} \times 2\), whose \(k\)-\(l\)-\(j\)-th element is
\Phi_{klj}(\mathbf{Y}; \mathbf{Y}_{i - 1}) = \left\{
\left| \left( \mathbf{y}_{i - 1}^{(k)}(j) - \mathbf{y}_{i - 1}^{(l)}(j) \right) - \left( \mathbf{y}^{(k)}(j) - \mathbf{y}^{(l)}(j) \right)\right| & \textrm{if $\mathbf{y}_{i - 1|i}^{(k|l)} \neq null$}\\
0 & \textrm{otherwise}
\end{array} \right., \tag{7}
while \(\mathbf{y}(1)\) and \(\mathbf{y}(2)\) are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the bounding box \(\mathbf{y}\)'s center, respectively. The model leads the following optimization.
\min_{\mathbf{w}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{\xi}, \mathbf{\eta}} \frac{1}{2}(\sum_{k = 1}^K \| \mathbf{w}^{(k)} \|^{2} + \| \mathbf{v} \|^2) + C_1 \sum_{i=2}^n \xi_i + C_2 \sum_{k = 1}^K \sum_{\mathbf{z} \in Z} \eta_{\mathbf{z}} \quad \mathrm{s.t.} \tag{8} \\
\sum_{k = 1}^K \langle \mathbf{w}^{(k)}, \Psi(x_i|_{\mathbf{y}_i^{(k)}}) - \Psi(x_i|_{\mathbf{y}^{(k)}}) \rangle + \langle \mathbf{v}, \Phi(\mathbf{Y}_i; \mathbf{Y}_{i - 1}) - \Phi(\mathbf{Y}; \mathbf{Y}_{i - 1}) \rangle \geq \Delta^M(\mathbf{Y}_i, \mathbf{Y}) - \xi_i,& \\
\quad \forall i, \quad \mathbf{Y} \neq \mathbf{Y}_i,&
\end{split} \tag{9}\\
l_{\mathbf{z}^{(k)}}(\langle \mathbf{w}^{(k)}, \Psi(\mathbf{z}^{(k)}) \rangle + b^{(k)}) \geq 1 - \eta_{\mathbf{z}^{(k)}}, \quad \forall k, \quad \forall \mathbf{z}^{(k)} \in Z^{(k)}, \tag{10}
(9) is the structured constraint, where \(\mathbf{Y}_i\) is the groundtruth object location set of frame \(i\), \(\mathbf{Y}\) is the set of locations other than groundtruth, and \(\Delta^M(\mathbf{Y}_i, \mathbf{Y}) = \sum_{k = 1}^K \Delta(\mathbf{y}_i^{(k)}, \mathbf{y}^{(k)})\) is a combination of losses on each objects. (10) is the binary constraint.
Following figures shows the tracking results on 2 different video clips, 'motinas-multi-face-fast' and 'toys' respectively. The videos can be found here.
In most of the cases, the proposed method significantly outperforms other adaptive single object methods, which quickly get adapted to other wrong image patches. The only exception is the Struck result of the candy bag, since the bag has never been occluded. For the face video, the non-adaptive multiple object tracking method (Huang) works fine since a good face detector is available. However, the same method works poorly on the second video because neither enough training samples nor trained detectors are available. In contrast, the proposed method works equally well on both videos due to its adaptive nature.

Anna Winterson doesn't know she's a witch and would probably mock you for believing in magic, but after moving to the small town of Winter with her father, she learns more than she ever wanted to about power. When Anna meets Seth, she is smitten, but when she enchants him to love her, she unwittingly amplifies a deadly conflict between two witch clans and splits her own heart in two. She wants to love Seth, to let him love her – but if it is her magic that's controlling his passion, then she is as monstrous as the witch clan who are trying to use her amazing powers for their own gain.
Although a perfect fit for the paranormal romance genre, A WITCH IN WINTER avoids fangs, excessive body hair and submissive female leads, and tells the heart-wrenching story of a couple meant to be together, but being forced apart. Seth is utterly irresistible and Anna is an empowered, proactive young woman with unimaginable magic inside her. This is fast-paced, sensuous writing with believable incantations inspired by Warburton's research into witchcraft legend and old English.
If only not for some unnatural dialogues, I would have really really liked this book. It is a dark and mysterious story that was gripping and thought-provoking. The author was very creative about the witchery thing here. This book reminded me of WitchCraft, not entirely the whole plot, but the spells and dark magic.. If you have watch this movie already you will know what I mean. Will definitely look out for the second book, see how it goes!
Overall, did enjoy it, but werent blown away like that. Anyway this is only my honest opinion, Im sure most of you will like this or even love this book, so Id say you try it.

Recently, the anthropological doctrines revolving around the complimentarity of male and female has been a subject of fierce debate within Evangelicalism. In the past decade or so, the debate has been taking a new form. So called egalitarians have been arguing that the uniform differences between men and women constitutes an ontological difference between the two sexes. So called complimentarians have responded by pointing to the eternal submission of the Son to the Father (ESS) demonstrating that functional submission does not equate to ontological subordination. One God in Three Persons is a collection of essays detailing the various arguments involved in this debate.
This book, edited by Bruce Ware and John Starke, pulls together some of the leading New Testament scholars. Due to the variety of authors, it is impossible to make general stylistic critiques. However, the book is well structured and free of technical and typographical problems.
Each essay focuses on a particular aspect of the debate. Whether it is a survey of the various exegetical proofs for ESS by Grudem, or a survey of the Patristic statements regarding eternal generation by Letham, the essays are thorough and approachable. While some collections of essays leave the reader wondering why a particular author was assigned a particular topic, this collection has clearly matched up proper scholars with appropriate topics.
Most valuable of all the essays was the contribution by Kyle Claunch titled "God is the Head of Christ." One point I think is often missed in this debate is that the analogy of submission between husband/wife and the submission of Father/Son is tenuous due to the differences in the relationships. While the Father and Son (prior to the Incarnation) share a singular will, a husband and wife only ever have separate (albeit ideally harmonious) wills. Claunch gives the first convincing argument that I have read that takes this into account as he exegetes 1 Corinthians 11, while still maintaining the position that ESS gives us a model for non-ontological submission. While I ultimately disagree with his conclusions, his argument was well reasoned and theologically crisp.
Overall, the book is helpful for someone looking to understand the arguments of one side of the discussion. Hopefully, a similar work will be published by proponents of the opposing view in order to get a robust and scholarly discussion of the topic at hand.

Martin's Mum's Gingernuts
Recipe by Millereg
This is Mrs. Cowan's famous secret (well, not any longer, it isn't!) recipe for gingernuts.
Top Review by Aunt Cookie
These are really yummy ginger cookies with a satisfying crunch. Just a couple of hints if you make these: put a LOT of space between each cookie (they spread a lot), and don't let them sit for very long on the cookie sheet, or they will really stick. This was my first recipe ever using golden syrup, and I wasn't disappointed. I got 72 big cookies out of this recipe. Thanks for posting!

If your company had all the information it needed, could your people use it effectively? Reliable and timely data is one thing. Changing management processes to use insight is quite another. Big Data and Business Intelligence (BI) is not about a few spending all their time analyzing. It's about all managers incorporating a little BI to make more effective decisions, every single day.
Inspire. Inform. Empower.
To move from business-as-usual to sustained business-improvements, smarter companies are creating a culture that thrives on fact-based decision making. But there are barriers. For buy-in, you need a solution that is easy. To maintain benefits, you need flexibility. To create impact, you need rapid projects with high ROI. Discover how you can use Jedox's business-driven innovations as a catalyst for change today.
Make better decisions
Your information is an asset. Jedox securely brings all your corporate data together in one place to provide executives with actionable insight. It looks stunning, modern and intuitive. Interactive and trusted dashboards unify sales, finance, logistics, HR, operations, external supplier and market data. Drill-down through KPIs, filter across departments, products, services, and clients. The Jedox platform scales to thousands of users, allowing you to align performance along business processes instead of information silos – at all levels of your organization.
Communicate strategy
By unifying planning, reporting and analytics, Jedox gives you a 360-view of your organization. Align your strategic planning, financial budgeting and operational monitoring in one consistent solution. The flexible writeback means you directly capture any input from individuals and departments. Agile workflows give you complete visibility and strengthen collaboration and engagement. Jedox provides total flexibility to fit your organization with a consistent, intuitive interface through Microsoft Office, the web, your tablet or smartphone, and the cloud. The future of your business is transparent, personal and decisive.
Quietly empower people
Change in organization comes from the top with headline-grabbing initiatives and decisive strategy. It also comes from the bottom-up, through steady incremental improvements every day. Alongside every enterprise system, sit business processes that capture, calculate, consolidate, and share information. Often manual and reliant on Excel and email, these processes are not visible to IT or Executives, instead impeding decision-making and create key person risk. In traditional BI, the most used function is 'export to Excel'. With ExcelPLUS, Jedox provides a flexible Excel-based modelling solution that securely communicates with your trusted data. This empowers business users and departments to incrementally and independently work smarter, and improve processes without adding IT costs.
Apply new analytics
Most corporate reporting is descriptive, showing what's already happened. You can't change the past. But you can learn from it. Jedox gives you predictive and prescriptive analytics. Powerful statistical heuristics test assumptions and reforecast to identify patterns of risk and opportunity that go beyond data discovery and simple visualization. You are empowered to continually benchmark corporate performance on revenue growth, margins, share price, and industry ranking. Jedox's in-memory performance enables new styles of analytics tailored to your industry, empowering you to find and solve problems with actionable insight.

Reduce costs
Jedox gives industry-leading Total Cost of Ownership. The flexible license model and unified Analytics and Performance Management platform solves the proliferation of departmental point-solutions.
Minimize risk
Traditional BI is slow to implement and expensive to maintain. A six month BI project is not a project. It's a problem. Jedox's modern architecture delivers outcomes in days and weeks. Rapid implementation and low running-costs mean shorter time to value.
Remove barriers

Here is my entry for this week's photo challenge, taken in Lisbon a while ago. Hard to believe it was December. I really like this city, and its bridge. If someone tells me to go back there, I will… 😉
Mostly photography and some other musings.
Here is my entry for this week's photo challenge, taken in Lisbon a while ago. Hard to believe it was December. I really like this city, and its bridge. If someone tells me to go back there, I will… 😉
My entry for this week's photo challenge. I took this one a couple of years ago, in a wonderful summer in Portugal.
Another three pictures from my quick trip to Portugal a few weeks ago. These are from Carvoeiro, close to Portimao. I don't know what that construction around that church is, but it looks like a wind barrier. Or an upside down boat… Also, I discovered some new wooden walks around the cliffs, with great views to the sea. I've visited this place for quite a long time now, and I still love it.
I did a quick trip this last weekend. I visited the Algarve, the south part of Portugal, an area I really love. These pictures are from some of the beaches I went to. The plan was drive to a place, lay on the sand, read a book, try to swim a bit in the chilly water and eat some great food in some local place And repeat. In order, you can see Marinha's beach, Arrifana's beach, and two pictures from Vila Nova de Milfontes, a place more up the north, in the Alentejo region. All great beaches except the last picture. Those sharp stone cliffs aren't very swimming friendly. They are in Cabo Sardao. I really like the texture of those bent and melted sediments. Geology at its best.
The weather was great and I spent most of the time these beaches or travelling to places. I even a visited a very special place (for me at least) where I lived more than 20 years ago. I managed to meet some friend of that time. Initially I was a bit concerned; what do you talk about with someone you don't see since such a long time? But things these days are a bit easier with this social media stuff. Maybe some of my imaginary friends are not so imaginary after all… We spent a whole day catching up about things. Fixing the world, as we say in Spain. Or should I better say our inner worlds…
Here you have a few more pictures taken in Lisbon. These are from Tagus riverside. There is a really long walk from Belen, where you can see the Discoveries Monument, to the harbour just down Alfama, where that gigantic ship was waiting for tourists. Midway in between you can sit and watch the sunset in front of the Praça de Comerço. This was in December, but it didn't feel like that at all.
I miss Lisbon.
I still have a few pictures left from my trip to Lisbon in December. This is in Praça dos Restauradores, where you can see this monument with two statues at each side, one symbolizes Independence and the other Victory. Not sure which one I took the picture of, but I like those two concepts.
A lot.
Two pictures with birds on them from my Lisbon trip, a few weeks ago. Going to the beach in December is great but it wasn't my intention to have a swim, so I just enjoyed playing in the sand with my daughter and stalking seagulls, like the ones shown in the first picture. This was taken in one of the small beaches in Cascais. Speaking of birds, that peacock from the second picture was even more elusive than this one. So there he is, standing between the rows of plants in that garden, keeping an eye on me. All the time… The garden, with a small zoo, surrounds the Condes de Castro Guimarães museum.
As I said, you need to walk a lot if visiting Lisbon. You can do a stop in some terraces called miradouros, and rest a bit. The views, if the weather is good and the air clear, are amazing. The first picture was taken from Igreja de Graça. There is a small coffee there, and waiting for the sunset is a really nice plan to end the day.
The second one was here, at Largo Santa Luzia, another quite popular sight-seeing point. This time the new thing was that ship full of tourists, quite possibly taking pictures of Lisbon. I wonder how many of them were on that boat. From here, exhausted, I went back home. Walking.
Another picture from Lisbon.
You can walk from the 25 of April bridge to here. It will take a bit, but this monument is a quite spectacular thing to look at. A good amount of Portugal's discovery history is represented here also. I used an electric tram for the return, something that I completely recommend, if you want to make the most of your visit.
Some pictures taken in Cascais, quite close to Lisbon. The weather was great that day. We could even try the water on the beach… In December.
Four men with a reflection of the river Tagus, in Lisbon, at their back.
Some pictures of Alfama, in Lisbon, from my quick weekend trip. Prepare to walk a lot if you want to visit this area of the city. The uphill and narrow cobbled streets make the visit difficult but enjoyable anyway. The best way I found to orient myself was going up all the time. At some points there are miradouros which are perfect for a stop and a coffee. The views from those are breath taking, literally. At the end of the day, when I felt a bit lost, instead of trying google maps on my mobile, I just asked someone for directions. I know it sounds silly, but it was also a way for me to try my almost forgotten Portuguese skills.

Stephen Sondheim's "Marry Me a Little" is just around the corner, but how much do you really know about this Porchlight premiere? Here are 10 things you might not know about this rarely seen Stephen Sondheim revue - Opening April 14 at Stage 773! Tickets and show information are available at http://porchlightmusictheatre.org/marry-me-a-little/.
"Marry Me a Little" debuted professionally in 1981 off-Broadway at The Actors Playhouse. The production set into a new dramatic context songs cut from Sondheim musicals produced up until that time, as well as songs from his then-unproduced musical "Saturday Night," "The Last Resorts," an abandoned project he was working on with playwright Jean Kerr, and "The Girls of Summer," the 1956 play of the same name by N. Richard Nash for which Sondheim created incidental music.
"Marry Me a Little" is the only Sondheim project that has a cast of two Bethany Thomas and Austin Cook play singles living in the same urban apartment building, both looking for love and not knowing their possible mate is just one floor away.
Bethany Thomas recently released her FIRST ALBUM! Titled "First," it is now available through CDBaby (iTunes soon to follow) and is currently streaming on Spotify.
Bethany Thomas first appeared at Porchlight Music Theatre in "Children of Eden" at the age of 19! She has also appeared here in "Into The Woods," "Once On This Island" among others, as well as numerous Chicago Sings concerts.
Austin Cook has twice received the Equity Jeff Award for his work here at Porchlight. In 2014, he received the award for Artistic Specialization for his work on "Ain't Misbehavin'"and again the following year for Music Direction for his outstanding contributions to our Chicago premiere of "Sondheim on Sondheim."
Austin Cook in NYC! Austin Cook currently lives in New York City, where his wife, actress Adrienne Walker, is starring in "The Lion King" on Broadway as "Nala". He has returned to Chicago specifically for this production.
Stephen Sondheim and Porchlight
Stephen Sondheim has given Porchlight permission to re-imagine "Marry Me a Little" for this production and to include material written since the show debuted in 1981.
Appearing for the first time in any production of "Marry Me a Little" are:
"Second Midnight" (cut from "Into the Woods") Used as the protagonists contemplate children (You're a good person and I'm a good person / You'll be a good father; we'll know what to do. / If / When / How will we say to our child in the night / Nothing's all black but then nothing's all white? / How will we say it will be all right / When we know that it mightn't be true? / What will we do? / I don't understand...) "Honey" (cut from "Merrily We Roll Along") Included to explore persevering in a relationship as things/life get increasingly more difficult. "I Remember Sky" (from the TV production "Evening Primrose") To explore the freedom breaking out of a bad relationship. "You Are the Best Thing That Ever Has Happened To Me" (from "Bounce") Used to explore being in love and writing about it at the same time.
Brand new orchestrations!
"Marry Me a Little" was originally presented with piano-only accompaniment. For this production, Austin Cook has created orchestrations for keyboard, cello, drums and flute and Bb clarinet as well has his occasional participation at the baby grand piano.
A first for Porchlight
This production will be the first time Porchlight has ever produced a musical "in-the-round."
Director Jess McLeod and Scenic Designer Jeffrey D. Kmiec thought it the best approach to create the "voyeuristic" atmosphere they were looking to achieve for the audience's experience.
Porchlight LOVES Sondheim
This is the first time Porchlight has produced "Marry Me a Little," but it's definitely not our first Sondheim.

Book by Arthur Laurents

"Sondheim on Sondheim"
In 1931 nine African American teenagers were wrongly accused of raping two white women while aboard a freight train in Alabama. Worried they might get imprisoned for prostitution while traveling aboard the same train, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates quickly cried rape, diverting the attention rather to the handful of innocent boys. These nine boys became known as The Scottsboro Boys, growing more and more infamy as their many trials became public interest throughout the nation. Fighting through Southern angry mobs, an all-white jury and a trial that was hastened, the nine boys were quickly convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. As word spread of the prejudice demonstrated, Northerners eventually stepped in to see that such a miscarriage of justice be overturned, but that was just the beginning of a process clouded by an ugly and unjust preconception. The uphill fight was long and grueling and successes were slow in the making. The story, superbly performed by Porchlight Music Theatre, is remarkable, sad and hopeful.
Written by David Thompson and directed by Samuel G. Roberson, "The Scottsboro Boys" is a controversial musical, now making its debut in Chicago after Broadway and London runs, and is the last featuring the music and lyrics of John Kander and Fred Ebb, mostly known for their triumphant smash hits "Chicago" and "Cabaret". The story, a compelling and emotional ride through the racist South is a painful lesson of our nation's dark history and serves as a stark reminder that change for a better world must never be ignored as we move forward as a unified people.
Throughout the musical's duration, we see an image of a pained Rosa Parks (Cynthia Clarey) who plays witness to the injustices that take place. Though her stand wouldn't take place until years later, we see the effect such a stirring account would have on approaching generations. Sad as this tragic story as such is, we feel hope for the future by the play's end and a realization for the work that still needs to be done.
"This is a story that needs to be told," says Mark J.P. Hood who stars as Mr. Tambo.
The nearly all African American cast delivers several all-around brilliant performances, doling out tremendous vocal harmony efforts, powerful acting and dance numbers that are both inventive and energetic. Currently running at Stage 773, a mid-sized theatre, the only drawback is that it is easy to envision the musical preformed on a larger stage, sometimes routines appearing a bit crowded. Still, that's a very small drawback, because the play's director is able to utilize its given space to maximize this Broadway-sized show effectively, moving boxcars and all.
Denzel Tsopnang and Mark J.P. Hood lead this gifted ensemble along with James Earl Jones II with commanding acting performances that would be hard to beat. The Scottsboro Boys is a real showcase for both Tsopnang and Hood, who flex their versatility while taking on a handful of roles. Veteran actor Larry Yondo, most recently known for his spot-on portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in Goodman's "A Christmas Carol", also puts forth yet another admirable effort as The Interlocutor. With several beautiful vocal harmonies that sweep the house with robust sentiment, it is perhaps "Go Back Home", a pivotal number that relates to those longing to find peace passionately led by Jones II, that will truly resonate with theatre goers long after the show. Though the vocal finesse is abundant throughout, fourteen-year-old Cameron Goode and Stephen Allen Jr. somehow find room to dazzle us even more.
As jaw dropping as many of the numbers are in their performance, the audience often finds reluctance in their clapping, the weight of the subject matter almost seemingly inappropriate to applaud. But it is in these performances that the story is told so well. A handful of poignant casting twists take place as the white policemen and the woman accusers are played by African Americans.
"The Scottsboro Boys" is a highly recommended theatre experience, both exceptional in its performance and its ever-important message. Wonderfully staged, acted and sung, this is a thoroughly entertaining production that will invoke much thought, inspire bravery and encourage action to be taken long afterwards.
"The Scottsboro Boys" is being performed at Stage 773 through March 12th. For tickets and/or more show information click here.
Porchlight Music Theatre is proud to announce that its 2017 – 2018 season will be performed at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N.

Events celebrating this new move will coincide with the launch in September 2017 of Porchlight Music Theatre's 23rd season, to be announced.
"Over the last few years, Porchlight has experienced an increase in subscribers and single ticket buyers that has accompanied an increase in the volume and scope of Porchlight Music Theatre programming. These factors pointed to the need for a larger capacity venue that would still retain the intimate approach for our musical productions, as we work to expand our audience and supporter base for future seasons," Jeannie Lukow, Porchlight Music Theatre's executive director said. "Stage 773 has been an invaluable venue for us and we've truly enjoyed their partnership in our being a resident company there. As Porchlight grows and our artistic and audience needs change, being an Artist In-Residence at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts offers Porchlight significant opportunities for our production capabilities and exposure not only to the community around the Center, but also to Chicago's tourism and travel markets."
Porchlight Music Theatre's Artistic Director Michael Weber added, "In addition to presenting our 2017/18 Mainstage and Porchlight Revisits productions at the Ruth Page Center, our School at Porchlight faculty look forward to collaborating with the Ruth Page staff on creating exciting new educational programs that bring together our individual focuses on music theatre and dance training. We look forward to announcing our first season at the Center and more details soon."
"Our Artist In-Residence Program has acted as an incubator for a number of Chicago's top theater companies – Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Lookingglass Theatre Company, and most recently Chicago Children's Theater." notes Venetia Stifler, executive and artistic director of the Ruth Page Center. "Music Theater complements the other disciplines present in our Center, and Porchlight's long history of artistic excellence make for an exciting new collaboration for both our organizations. We are so pleased to welcome them as our newest Artist In-Residence."

To say Judy Garland led a tumultuous life is an understatement. In a way, she was the mid-century equivalent of Amy Winehouse. A once brilliant, and at times triumphant star who faded out much too soon. Maybe some will only remember Judy as Dorothy Gale, but in her short career Judy was an international phenomenon. Her dependence on prescription pills and alcohol created a tortured existence of financial and emotional instability. Judy Garland died of a drug overdose in 1969. Her New York City funeral is often considered the catalyst of the Stonewall Riots.
There have been several TV specials, documentaries, and movies made about Judy's life. Some better than others. A small West End show, "The End of the Rainbow" about the final months of Garland's life became a smash hit in 2010. A huge part of the show's success was star Tracie Bennett's uncanny likeness to Judy. Bennett and "Rainbow" transferred to Broadway in 2012.
This show is popular right now in regional productions, but Porchlight Music Theatre's production is the Chicago premiere. Playing Judy is Angela Ingersoll. Under the direction of Michael Webber, Ingersoll turns in a tour de force. She's wise not to veer into impression and makes definitive choices for her Judy, focusing on character rather than accuracy. Though, she really brings it home in the cabaret-style musical sequences. She captures Judy's intimate performance techniques that make an audience feel warm.
The book by Peter Quilter is more of a dramatic play than musical, but the songs are all selected from Judy's regular repertoire. Quilter's script is a well-rounded account of Judy's life almost entirely composed of actual quotes and first hand accounts from her life. Judy's demise is an unpleasant story and "The End of the Rainbow" covers it without getting morbid or tabloid.
Porchlight's production of "End of the Rainbow" starring Angela Ingersoll is a deeply moving account of the hidden side of show business. It's also a bittersweet tribute to one of Hollywood's biggest legends. For Garland fans young and old, this show is not to be missed.
Through December 9th at Stage 773. 1225 W Belmont Ave. 773-327-5252
This excellent stage production of the 2013 musical Far from Heaven was based on Todd Haynes' 2002 motion picture of the same name.
Far from Heaven is set in 1957 Hartford, Connecticut, well before the advent of the sexual revolution. Cathy Whitaker played by Summer Naomi Smart discovers that her handsome, successful businessman husband Frank is having affairs - with other men! Frank was played very well and very selfishly - if not compassionately - towards his wife whose world is crushed unexpectedly by actor Brandon Springman.
After a time of trying to convert her husband back to heterosexuality by a psychologist, Cathy and her husband realize the emptiness and futility of their sexless and coldly critical relationship continuing just for the sake of the children.
Cathy's new gardener and widowed single father of a ten-year-old daughter, Raymond Deagan (Evan Tyrone Martin), becomes her friend and the scandal of her own life in spite of their necessarily platonic enjoyment of each other's company.
Evan Tyrone Martin has a wonderful rich smooth voice, arguably the best in the show and a nice natural quality to his acting. Summer Naomi Smart is stunning to look at as the real life "Stepford Wife" whose world comes crashing down when she tries to surprise visit her husband on a night he is "working late again" and gets the shock of her life when she finds him in the office in the arms of another man.
I've seen Ms. Smart in many musical comedies but this is the first time I have seen her really let loose in a dark way, especially in the scene when she confronts her husband about his homosexual affairs and lets out a terrifying and mournful wail that truly came from deep inside her character's psyche. It was nice to see her tackle then take the reigns on this multi-dimensional role.
Grant Saban's set seemed too much like a doll house to me, very one dimensional in color and shapes but perhaps that was intentional in terms of the subtext of the repressive 1950's. However, William Morey's gorgeous period costumes, which reminded me of a cross between Lucille Ball and Mary Tyler Moore's beautifully tailored and colorfully designed outfits in their respective series, brought the whole set to life.
Bri Sudia's performance is rich and dynamic as Cathy's best friend Eleanor, who is very sympathetic about the sexless and lovlessness of Cathy's picture perfect marriage yet deserts her best friend over the issue of an interracial friendship. All of the supporting characters and girlfriends of Cathy Whitaker in this production do an excellent job in their respective roles and deliver as many ironic laughs as possible with subject matter that really is just a lot of sad statements about the wasted loves of many marriages in the fifties - marriages, which were built on lies and social and financial convenience rather than genuine love and real sexual attraction.
Turning this subject matter into a musical may have made it more fun and palatable, but also detracted from the seriousness and tragedy of a woman who has given birth to two children and ends up totally alone, a single mother in the fifties, because of years and years of lies from a man who was supposed to be her best friend and true love. Yet the accompaniment of a great live orchestra really brings this sometimes somber score to life when needed.
Finely directed by Chuck Larkin, Porchlight Musical Theatre's Far from Heaven is playing at Stage 773 through March 13th. For more show information on this absorbing and well-pieced-together production, visit www.prochlightmusictheatre.org.

Jos Grain is by far the nicest, wittiest, and just absolutely the bestest out of anybody who has ever had anything to do with Iggy Pop and the Stooges.
Intensely human in a very real sense, per se, devastatingly handsome and a creative genius, he is the real driving force behind the band and indeed, of much of Western Civilisation. At school he was so popular that the teachers and pupils made a special medal for him with the words "Most Fantastic Person Ever" engraved upon it, and then carried him around the school for the next three days on their shoulders, shouting "Hooray!"
He was for many years a restless and courageous adventurer, who single-handedly opened up some of the world's more inhospitable regions - such as the Heavy Woollen District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, for example.
He doesn't travel as much these days, and when he does it is generally under an assumed identity, as heads of state and other such types would discover his itinerary and drop all other commitments to meet him at the airport and award him the country's highest honour, the keys to the city, or an expensive cake. Such is his modesty that he found it a little embarrassing, so now he tends to avoid this sort of exposure.
If he has any faults at all, I suppose one would have to say... er... No, sorry. It's gone.
As the author and also the subject of this profile, I am all too aware that there may be some people who, cynically, maintain that I might over-inflate my own worth in a narcissistic and egotistical manner.
I have personally investigated this possibility, and I can assure these nasty, narrow-minded individuals that their fears are utterly groundless.
Thank you.
Please Hire Me. I am a experienced roadie and I own a very fast Mercedes Sprinter 316 van. I live in the centre of London, King's Cross. Where the shit is...

Bait plants
I'm confused about the concept of bait plants. I have seen black aphids in my front yard and my back yard. They seem to love lamb's quarter, which grows as a common weed here. Am I supposed to leave the bait plants in place and treat them regularly so I know where the pests will go and can kill them? Or what?

Q: clutch replacement on 2003 BMW 325xi
(1) Answer
As long as you are sure that ALL of the bell housing bolts are out and the starter is completely out, and the clutch hydraulics are completely off, then I generally use a spreader tool to GENTLY spread the bell housing. Is the engine low enough so that it is not hitting anything in the 'tunnel' and is the shift linkage, shift lever completely out?

Mr. Balsillie, through a link at RIM in Waterloo, said economic stimulation is a necessity in the current economic climate. Problem is, he suggested, none of the great leaders of our time know what to do under the current economic climate, even U.S. President Barack Obama.
"Everyone is lost. The only thing some of them are good at is giving the impression, the illusion, the facade, that they know what they are doing. I absolutely, categorically assure you no one knows what they are doing right now and they are terrified."
Mr. Balsillie's fix-it suggestion took his audience back to medieval times, when Catholic cardinals were rounded up, placed in a church with bread and water and left to their own devices until they exited with a pick for a new pope.
He referenced Humpty Dumpty and fast food drive-ins.
"Reinflating Humpty, reinflating the economy or putting Humpty Dumpty back together again is insanity but allowing inflation to happen is chaos," Mr. Balsillie said.
An accomplished athlete and fitness enthusiast, he suggested the economy is about how we live, lamenting the fast food lifestyle, where people drive oversized cars to drive-thru restaurants and end up relying on doctors to fix years of poor lifestyle choices. "My instincts say that part of the answer lies there -- that is, we look after where we live and look after ourselves emotionally and physically and look after each other. Then the whole thing settles in a nice way."

Start the conversation
Tucked in among my collection of old pilot logbooks; journals that chronicle trips by ship, car and airplane; and pictures of historic events is a picture of four "antique" cars that appear to be lined up for the start of a race.
The story behind that picture - which I'm sharing with you here - is actually much more interesting.

London, Aug 17 (ANI): Pakistani rock artist and 'Junoon' band member Salman Ahmad is writing a new song for the people affected by floods in Pakistan.
The song titled 'Khwab' (dream) is due to be ready shortly and Ahmad hopes to record it with Pakistani and Western artists. He said that it was important to let young Pakistanis know that the world cared for them in their hour of need.
With the song, Ahmad is hoping to raise funds for the country's flood disaster.
The official UN aid appeal has raised only a quarter of its 459 million dollar aid.
Ahmad said that his music is a part of a cultural battle against Muslim extremism. He said he was concerned that disillusioned young Pakistanis might turn to violence in the future.
He said that he realized people in the West were hesitant about helping, asking why they should care for a country associated with extremism.
"But there are 100 million-plus young people under the age of 25 who can go two possible ways into the future," The BBC quoted him as saying. (ANI)

So how do peanut butter nutella cookies relate to nature nature? Um…peanuts and hazelnuts and sugar?
Okay, sometimes you just have to have a cookie. Thanks to Ken's mom, Janice, for the base peanut butter cookie recipe. Then we doctored them up with a little Nutella. We think the results are pretty awesome, and we're hoping it helps Jack and Annabelle win a blue ribbon in the fair this weekend. Here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Nutella (PB&N) Cookies
½ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup Nutella
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cup flour
¾ teaspoon soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Cream together butter, peanut butter, Nutella, sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Then mix in flour, soda and salt. Form 1-inch size balls and gently roll them in a bowl of sugar. Place on baking sheet and flatten with a fork. (Kids love the rolling and flattening part!) Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
