Every year, GLAAD compiles a report that searches studio films for depictions of LGBT characters and then determines whether or not those depictions are positive. While only one studio actually received a "good" rating from the organization (Sony Pictures, the first to ever do so), most of the films and studios covered were found to be either adequate or failing. However, a few movies were directly called out, and one of them was David Twohy's Riddick.
GLAAD found that Riddick committed the cardinal sin of featuring a lesbian character but then perpetuating negative stereotypes related to sexuality. If you haven't seen the film, Katee Sackhoff (the gloriousness that is Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica) plays a lesbian named Dahl who spends almost all of the film being harassed and assaulted and physically attacked because of her sexual orientation. And then, at the conclusion of the film, Vin Diesel's Riddick manages to "convert" her with the promise of some serious deep-d*$#king.
When I saw Riddick in theaters, I too was caught off guard by this decidedly misogynistic and highly ridiculous plot line. How could Katee Sackhoff, who previously played one of the strongest and most badass women in sci-fi history, allow herself to be portrayed in such a manner? Further more, was Vin Diesel really starring in such a homophobic film? I mean... really? Vin Diesel? Really?
According to the people at GLAAD, having a negative portrayal of an LGBT character, like the one in Riddick, is worse than having no gay people at all... Do you agree?

there's someplace like home
Bocas del Toro Travel Blog› entry 14 of 14 › view all entries
Am sipping a strong, delicious coffee from Lilly's café, which is catty-corner from our home base at Hotelito Del Mar in Bocas Town. It's t-minus two hours until I hop on a Nature Air puddle jumper back to San Jose, and my heart hurts. I am using the time I should be using for proper goodbyes to write about my week here, as it's one of those places that I feel like writing about it after I've left, in retrospect, would be cheating.
When Sarah and I made the decision to fly to Panama for the last full week of our trip, we did so with the intention of squeezing in a couple more dives, procuring better tans to return to the real world with, adding one more stamp to our passports, getting a strong dose of Caribbean water that we agreed is the best soul medicine.
When we first arrived in Bocas Del Toro exactly one week ago and dropped our bags at Casa Verde, we learned three things. One – that there were no beaches right here in town, nor was there really a place to swim. Two – that Bocas seemed to have some decent food. Three – that there had been a robbery (which we were told was commonplace) the night before in the very room we were supposed to sleep in. And so we moved house to Hotelito Del Mar and started sussing out the local dive shops so that we could get some dives in before relocating ourselves to the nearby island of Bastimentos.
After inquiring at each of other three dive shops, we walked into La Buga and met the owner, Ricardo Porras – the very same man who, when I called from Monte Verde Costa Rica, had convinced us book our tickets to Bocas in the first place by saying "It's not the best diving in the world, and we're not right on the beach, and it could potentially rain the whole week when you're here, but right now it's sunny and beautiful and I wish I could show you through the phone what I am seeing right now, because it would make you want to be here next to me." And so there we were, less than a week later, looking out from La Buga's dock at the clear green-ish playground and plethora of islands from which we could explore it.
I don't have much time to write, as I need to pack and say some tearful goodbyes, but the highlights of the week are as follows:
Befriending Lilly. We had eaten in her café several times before we met her, although we were already big fans of her 'Killin' Me Man' homemade hot sauce and had grown quite fond of her daughters, Shayda and Frida, who had served us. On Sunday morning, which was our first rainy day on the island, we planted ourselves at a table on the dock for breakfast, and asked the charming owner if she'd come sit and chat with us for a while. This chat quickly secured us a new friend, and Lilly invited us to come cook in the kitchen at her home later that evening. "Just tell any taxi driver to take you to casa de senora Lilly.
Diving. After our first dive, we hopped back onto the boat a little disappointed by the visibility and lack of marine life. We agreed that it may not be worth it to continue diving, and instead soak in the beaches.
Six hour boat tour. This day started out as a clusterfuck, trying to organize a semi-private boat with some friends who wound up flaking on the tour…and just as Pilo, the boat captain, was about to turn Sarah and I away, Robin, who lives in New York, showed up, and we were able to talk Pilo into taking the three of us for a few extra bucks apiece. The tour started out at Dolphin Bay, where we hung over the egde of the boat laughing excitedly as flipper and his buddies raced with the boat, jumping over each other playfully. Next, snorkeling at Crawl Cay, which had some of the richest, most vibrant coral I have ever laid eyes on. And finally, Cayos Zapatillas. Uninhabited powdery beaches surrounded by clear aqua bath-like water.
There were so many other magical moments – a bike ride to starfish beach, we powered thru thirteen kilometers of hilly, jungle roads before Sarah unfortunately busted ass as the result of an inadequate bike chain – listening to and playing music in Toro Loco – a midnight boat ride to a party on Red Frog Beach, where we danced by moonlight waist deep in the crystal-clear sea.
There's so much more. Bocas Town is so full of flavor and color and art and music and it's surrounds are truly paradise. It is the first place on my trip that I think I could live, and a place that I know I'll return to. It's time now. I've had my coffee and I need to get my shit together so we can make our flight. Insert long, sad sigh. Pics to come.

|"The diaspora knowledge networks (DKN) - associations of highly skilled expatriates willing to contribute to the development of their origin countries- have emerged in the 1990s. They provide a new option with regards to 3 policy areas: Innovation/ S&T, Migration and Development/ Cooperation, for both the North and South. A new actor in the recent and developing transnational arena, DKNs have been received with some suspicions, doubts and even citicisms on their real, effective ability to perform a development role. Recent evidence convincingly dismisses excessively sceptical approaches and shows the actual and potential importance of such kind of networks. They are numerous and many of these, especially in Asian cases, have had an outstanding positive effect. A survey of existing visible DKN and historical analysis on the Indian IT growth and expansion do show the original and irreplaceable developmental action of these networks. However, the experience also shows the erratic activities, limited results and precarious life of many DKN. This fact does question the dynamics of such networks: do they have autonomous effects or are they strictly context dependent? What are the market and/ or policy impacts on their developments? This presentation draws on the actor/ network sociology to explore the way that action shapes the context and therefore results of transnational activities and relations in the making. In particular, the theory of translation and the concept of interessment (intéressement) are used to explain constructive strategies for DKN. In the process of building sustainable diaspora networks, traditional entities - such as state, national organisations, public local institutions as well as firms, NGOs and intergovernmental organisations- may be involved. They can find there a new field of expansion and the reproductibily of some DKN' successes is a challenge for all." (author's abstract)

"And it was [Vayehi] when Pharaoh sent out the people" Exodus 13:17
This week's sidrah contains some of the most exciting and uplifting moments in our history; the crossing of the Red Sea, the miracles of the manna and our victory over Amalek.
Yet it is this sidrah which begins with the word "vayehi" — which, according to our sages, is an expression of sadness. How can we possible explain this?
When God summons Moses to announce to Israel that they will go free, their unenthusiastic response is ascribed by Targun Yonatan to their unwillingness to leave behind those gods which they worshipped together with their Egyptian neighbours.
According to our sages, four-fifths of our people died during the plague of darkness because they adamantly declared that Egypt was their home. Even the fifth who remained alive insisted that while a land of their own was desirable, the time was not yet right.
Is this not a contemporary message for us the post-Holocaust generation? How clearly it has been brought home to us that our destiny is not in the diaspora and yet the state of Israel, a dream for two thousand years, has left the vast majority of Jews unchanged. The diaspora is their home and its values are their values.
The Talmud tells us that Resh Lakish, who lived after the destruction of the Second Temple, had no time for Babylonian Jews:"Had all of you returned with Ezra and left your wealthy businesses to start anew in Israel, then the Temple would never have been destroyed. Because you remained in exile, the minority of Jews in Israel battling valiantly, succumbed to the events that overtook them and exile occurred."
Is this not a contemporary message and was the Torah not correct in writing "vayehi"? The journey to the Promised Land is tinged with sadness.

Woodhouse offers a future
{gallery slider=boxplus.carousel}abenzi{/gallery}
Woodhouse offers a future
Furniture making is taught at the Abenzi Woodhouse in Stutterheim to hard-working youngsters. It gives National Qualification Framework levels one and two training, which includes marketing and sourcing materials.
30 May 2013
Young people in the small Eastern Cape town of Stutterheim are getting vital technical and business skills that will boost their chances of employment, and possibly open up doors for them to set up their own businesses.
Abenzi Woodhouse, a section 21 company founded by Amathole Economic Development Agency (Aspire) and Amahlathi Local Municipality, is giving a lifeline to young people in Stutterheim and the neighbouring settlements of Keiskammahoek, Kei Road and Cathcart. It provides training in furniture manufacturing to young men and women, who make furniture on order for local people.
Fondly referred to as the Woodhouse, it is situated on the outskirts of Stutterheim and is part of Aspire's small town regeneration programme, according to the agency's project manager, Duduzile Radebe. "The main aim of Abenzi Woodhouse is to develop the forestry value chain and position Stutterheim as a timber processing destination," she says.
More than 40 young people have enrolled at the centre since the first intake in July 2010, according to centre manager Sandiswa Qayi. "We provide learnerships at various levels at our training centre and mini factory," she says.
The training centre provides non-accredited National Qualification Framework (NQF) level 1 training as per Department of Labour standards. The course runs for eight months, after which trainees graduate to NQF level 2, an accredited learnership based on practical and theory training and assessment undertaken at the mini factory. Training is provided by the Forestry Industry Education and Training Authority (Fieta).
To pass level 2, trainees have to undergo 15 weeks of theory studies and a year of practical learning. Assessment is done by Fieta to check practical experience before trainees become accredited cabinet makers. To sharpen their woodworking skills, they produce furniture for sale to households, schools, and offices.
Once they have passed NQF level 2, the accredited cabinet makers have the chance to join the incubation and business cluster phase. Here, they can set up co-operatives or register businesses under the mentorship of the Woodhouse. But first, they must submit a business proposal and three business plans.
Two co-operatives have been registered so far, according to Qayi. "The Woodhouse realised that it will not be adequate to just train the local youth in technical skills and not create opportunities for them to utilise their skill in a way that will maximise the benefits and have significant spill over impact on the lives of other youth of Amahlathi," she points out. As a result, the Woodhouse has set out to create a business cluster to complement the incubation element, where trainees will be assisted with administrative duties such as ordering raw materials, and procurement of production goods to reduce overheads and operational costs.
Young people are free to join Abenzi Woodhouse as trainees, Qayi says: "Anyone with Grade 10 to Grade 12, or who has basic knowledge to adapt to learn quickly enough is welcome to apply."
Production manager at the Woodhouse Simba Bopoto says the centre is doing well, and is meeting orders from individuals, companies and schools. The orders are for a variety of items. "We make all kinds of furniture. Some orders, for example cot beds, we make according to customer specifications."
One trainee, 28-year-old Yolanda Noxeke, has been at the Woodhouse since September 2011. "Before I joined the Woodhouse I was doing some work for the Department of Agriculture. Unfortunately my contract ended and I ended up languishing at home doing nothing. Then I heard from a friend that the Woodhouse was looking for trainees in furniture manufacturing. I jumped at the chance," she says.
Before she joined the Woodhouse, Noxeke says she was just like most unemployed youth in rural Eastern Cape: bored and with nothing to do. But after enrolling at the centre, she has learned "to work with people – teamwork – and picked up leadership skills … I have also learned marketing, a skill which I will use when I open up my own business after I finishing training."
Another trainee, Melumzi Skundla, 22, who enrolled at the Woodhouse in the same year, comes from a village called Exesi. He loves "making things with his hands", he says, and that is why he is doing a course in furniture manufacturing.
"I have also learned quite a lot that will help me in the future in terms of furniture manufacturing, what a production line is and all sorts of manufacturing techniques," Skundla adds.

Donald Trump loves this country and explains how to win in his new book.
Trump is a walking success and America needs him more then ever.
Billionaire businessman Donald Trump released a new book on Tuesday, and the 193-page"Crippled America" was pure, unfiltered Trump — from cover to cover.
Even the book jacket was in line with the Trump brand and his campaign theme, "Make America Great Again."
His book-jacket bio noted that he is "the very definition of the American success story, continually setting the standards of excellence."
It concluded: "Mr. Trump has more than seven million followers on social media and is passionate about fixing America."
The book itself is dedicated, "importantly, to the people who are ready to Make America Great Again!"
In addition to relentlessly promoting the Trump brand and campaign theme, the book was essentially Trump-the-candidate packed into less than 200 pages. As Trump himself does on a regular basis, chapters would sometimes veer off on tangents to attack the media, defend his lack of specific policy proposals, and brag about his own fortune.
'Winning matters'
The very first chapter of the book — titled "Winning Again," the first sentence of which is, "America needs to start winning again" — stressed how successful Trump is.
"Donald Trump builds buildings. Donald Trump develops magnificent golf courses. Donald Trump makes investments that create jobs," Trump declared. "Winning matters. Being the best matters."
Trump's book contained a number of sections that would rarely be found in most political tomes, including a personal-finance statement assessing his wealth at $8.7 billion. And even though independent analyses have pegged Trump's net worth at roughly half that number, Trump included a two-page explanation about why he's worth far more.
"My net worth has increased since I released (at my presidential announcement) the attached financial statement which is dated as of June 2014. The value of my real estate in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Washington DC, Europe, and many other places has gone up considerably. I have very little debt, and even that is at low interest rates. My current net worth is more than ten billion dollars," Trump wrote.
"I was very pleased to file this disclosure and proud of what I've accomplished."
In the glossy-paged middle of the book — where memoirs typically feature photos of the writer throughout the years — roughly half the photos were of the grandiose properties he owns.
And then there was the 17-page "About the Author" section, which culminated in a three-page listing of all of his biggest hotels, resorts, golf clubs, buildings, ice rinks, planes, and helicopters.

|Opponents of Morsi hold protest rallies in Cairo on July 3, 2013.
Its not a secret that Morsi was universally loathed by the people of Egypt. He was cruel, heartless, and a despot elected in a rigged election. He was the choice the choice of the International Banker's. A Phoenix operation that removed one puppet, Mubarak, and replaced him with Morsi. And they didn't even have to change the monogramed towels in the Presidential Palace. We've seen the same tactics in the USA by the bankers, Bush replaced by Clinton (who was always in the Texas Camp despite being of the other party) followed by another Bush followed by Obama who continued GW Bush's tactics of "pre-emptive war", incarceration without trial, torture, and drone attacks. We've been "phoenixed" so many times in our own country.
So when I saw the blatently pro-Zionist CNN roundly attack the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood's Morsi, something smelled bad. What's wrong with this picture? Where's Waldo? CNN placed live images of the pro-Morsi minority in tight camera shots in a split screen against the millions of the Egyptians who wanted him ousted as if there was some 50/50 divide in opinion in Egypt. There was nothing of the of the kind! Why would they do this unless they wanted to present in the public mind that further violence would be sectarian in nature? This was public democracy showing in force they didn't accept the rigged and fraudulent election financed by Wall Street, London and Tel Aviv that put Morsi into power.
The Muslim Brotherhood had its start under the Grand Mufti who was the only muslim member of the NAZI SS...the scourge of terror of the Jews during WWII. So you'd think, anyone truly supporting Israel...would be glad to see this guy go...given the direct lineage of horror, unless the plot was so byzantine and more about Israel's deniable proxy wars in the middle east for the Rothschild clan.
Gordon Duff makes a remarkable prediction in this article, which from my early morning TV viewing seems to be already coming true... The good people of Egypt deserve better. -AK
"Game Over" for Morsi, Israel
Friday, July 5th, 2013 | Posted by Gordon Duff at Veterans Today
By Gordon Duff and Press TV
"Morsi's rule was a game, little more, in fact, no more than the selling of a totalitarian regime built on suppression of freedom of thought and expression and the careful grooming of extremism and slavish adherence to what had been intended to be a highly secretive plot, one so complex, so convoluted that discovery was impossible."
"GAME OVER" is what the massive laser light show in Tahrir Square in Egypt's capital of Cairo is announcing to the cheering throngs.
The sign is more right than some in Egypt, than all in the West, can begin to understand.
Morsi's rule was a game, little more, in fact, no more than the selling of a totalitarian regime built on suppression of freedom of thought and expression and the careful grooming of extremism and slavish adherence to what had been intended to be a highly secretive plot, one so complex, so convoluted that discovery was impossible.
The great game, Morsi trying to buy Egypt's place at the table with the new "Masters of the Universe," the coalition of Turkey's resurgent Ottoman dreams, rumored to exist only in Erdogan's diseased brain, Netanyahu's endless quest to prove to mankind that depravity knows no bounds, but we only begin.
It goes much further, much deeper, layer upon layer, a grand design clearly intended to end all human moral considerations, replacing them with a new "relativism," all thinly veiled hucksterism peddled by half-baked carnival conmen.
The con, selling "The Clash of Civilizations" as a "cover and deception" plan , covering the truth, deceiving any seeking enlightenment, meant to obscure the simple reality that a group of secret societies, some many centuries old, men serving an unseen master best described as "Satanic," believe they have been chosen to oversee the end of humanity.
Insane as it sounds, the list of those seeking membership is endless. I don't really think this is much of a secret anymore. No rational person could believe otherwise as we are drowning, in some cases literally, in evidence.
Only a fool would fail to see the patterns. Calling them predators is too generous. Our "elites" are more akin to a nasty strain of syphilis. You know the names, Morsi was simply trying to get on the list. Let's be honest, I don't think Morsi really made it.
Well, with "Game Over," one thing is for sure, the people of Egypt and their army weren't as easily fooled as the American people were after 9/11.
Most agree that the turning point for the army was Morsi's call for war against Syria. Those still harboring illusions as to Morsi, excusing his behavior as "unbalanced" or "insane," simply weren't paying attention.
The American media had no trouble either, saw no inconsistencies in his betrayal of the Palestinians, his systematic sabotage of Egypt's economy, his curious political alignments, neocons in America, Likudists in Israel and Al Qaeda in Syria.
Americans have gained a delightful "moral flexibility," an ability to rationalize, to betray, to deceive and be deceived and they seem to love it.
The Egyptian people saw, the army saw. Maybe it is simply that the West has so conditioned itself with absurdity and obfuscation that questioning anything, no matter how fanciful, seems, in itself, a pointless act. Perhaps I am giving too much credit.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
The ugliness Morsi brought with him, his slavishness to Israel, his soullessness, rode roughshod over Egypt's people like a pharaoh's curse.
Yet, as the dust settles, we know it isn't really over, not yet. "Morsi 2.0" is waiting in the wings.
Morsi was "Mubarak 2.0." The "Masters of the Universe" aren't going to give up on destroying Egypt, not so easily.
We can expect the car bombs, the favorite of Mossad's false-flag 'bag of tricks.' Sectarian violence, Tel Aviv hopes, will derail Egypt's second try for real independence. Consider this a prediction.
Did you get your "talking points" today?
Across the world, the bloggers and pundits are scrambling to save Morsi, their handlers frantically emailing and faxing "talking points." Coffers will open, cash payments for articles, even for slavish comment board spamming, an Israeli psyops practice carefully tracked by Jim W. Dean of Veterans Today.
As late as this morning, dozens of owned or rented "influencers" were attacking the Muslim Brotherhood as part of the worldwide Islamic conspiracy against all mankind.
Now, as thronging millions march through Egypt's streets, celebrating the overthrow of a government that makes North Korea look like Iceland, those same "shills," there is no other word that applies, have turned 180 degrees and are parroting the Talumdic gang's talking points:
· Military coup
· Suspended constitution
· Morsi was Egypt's first "freely elected" president
What kind of constitution allowed Morsi to imprison students for unfavorable "tweets?"
Then again, how many opponents did the Muslim Brotherhood "disappear?"
Consider this another prediction.
The lynchpin
Morsi was the Lynchpin to Israel's strategy. Morsi wasn't just another "pretty face," no indeed! This was, and is, a world-class thug.
Taking a lead from the Bush, Blair, Netanyahu playbook, Morsi tried to create a feeling of victimization and hysteria, first unleashing an imaginary jihad on Syria, Egypt's historical ally and one-time partner in the short-lived United Arab Republic.
His second ploy was a threat of war against Ethiopia based on half-baked rumors that their huge hydroelectric dam would interfere with the flow of the Nile.
The real role of Morsi was to isolate Egypt, turn it into the laughing stock of the Middle East, castrate its military and create base of operations for certain foreign intelligence agencies.
Morsi's hydra
The events of today are not to be underestimated, they are monumental. Least of all, it can be shown that a real taste for freedom can't be quelled with repackaged tyranny, except maybe in western nations like Canada, Germany, France and, just maybe, the United States.
Could the "developed nations" be the new political and intellectual "third world?"
As for the importance of Egypt as a slave satellite of Greater Israel, enough can't be said. One needs only to look to Libya.
After the fall of Gaddafi, more a murder than a fall, actually, there has been a total news blackout on Libya. A carefully coordinated disinformation campaign, the "pro/anti-Zionists" of the left, 99% of whom have always been useless oxygen wasters, along with their "imperialist/bankster" warmongering friends, the other side of the same counterfeit coin, have sought to rob the Libyan people of credit for a very real sacrifice.
Toward that end, our media-mogul fact-twisting friends have sought to erase Gaddafi's history, not just as a CIA asset and host to 20 years of P2 Gladio terrorism in Europe, but of his long military partnership with Israel, the evidence of which stoked Libyan fires for weeks.
Libya, with its vast oil and petrochemical wealth, has to be reined in. Morsi was part of that effort, holding down one flank, supporting the anti-government militias while conveying jihadists to do Israel's dirty work in Syria.
In the process, a new generation of Al Qaeda terrorists will spread a generation of suffering, down through Africa, up into Europe and, of course, assuring Libya will suffer the fate of Iraq, war without end.
Tonight, Morsi no longer sits at that table. Egypt's security services have been looking at foreign workers, language teachers, tourists who have lingered a bit too long.
Hundreds of young and helpful Israelis, many with "other" passports, have poured into Egypt to assist their blood enemy.
Morsi is gone, but will Egypt remain Israel's colony?

This kit is amazing sauce and seasoning and taco shells all in one. Like how it's assembled easy to find not going one place ail to ail to get what I need on taco nights.
My family loved it! It was fast to put together, everything in one box (just need your own beef) but it was a life saver when everyone was hungry and I didn't have much time to make anything else.
Ortega brand is my favorite for taco seasoning and shells. I like the kit so I don't forget anything (other than the meat).
I love Ortega taco seasoning.. it's not too strong but not too weak either! Shells tastes great, not that oily taste.
This kit is so amazing and so easy to use. Great flavor and easy to eat. Not messy at all. Love this

June 23, 2011 by Post Team
George Anthony Affair, On Wednesday, George Anthony's attorney, Mark Lippman never issued a sentence in favor of the question with the client, saying, Krystal George Holloway, who is also called the River of Cruz.
George is the father of Casey Anthony, who the cause of the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony Submit Go, 2, and in summer 2008.
That left the considerations for the sake of all days, then take the stand and am judged Casey Holloway, as he said WKMG was subpoenaed by Casey defended on Tuesday morning.
Lipmann at the beginning of a statement, released on Dec 17, 2010, denying Holloway with George here.
In recent message, and Lipmann, if ever, any relationship with the George Holloway to have received that money.
"… When it becomes evident he attacked what he intends to defend Mr. George Anthony could in any way, nor be dismayed by the D. Anthony stating that knows the truth," he said a lion.
Really working that occasion, when George Holloway in public, when they spoke investigators in 2010, the proportion of pain that he has denied him. She said yes, relationship to the investigators that he would not reveal it WKMG. Again, we must notice, you have already prepared the world bears witness to come to Casey with the trial.

Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil
Time Warner Cable Arena
April 8, 2014
Nothing and no one can perform like Jackson could, so it had a lot to live up to as Jackson fans shuffled into Time Warner Cable Arena on Tuesday night. The show touts 3D and holographic video technology that will amaze and make it feel like Jackson is in the room. So, as the lights go down, anticipation builds.
The Immortal World Tour starts out with Michael, as expected - sort of. Five Jacksons appear on the stage. They are "super fans" who start the show by having a dance off with their best MJ moves before going on a spray-painting rampage via a giant LED screen cityscape. "Working Day and Night" gets the show going, and it grinds to a heart stopping halt as the five Jackson's on stage produce an iconic image of Michael. It's hard to have a Michael Jackson show without the man himself, but stunts like this (along with some carefully selected video clips) could maybe fool you. But just maybe.
It's clear from the start though that this isn't a rock concert. With elements of Cirque, there's just no way. But where Cirque can veer dangerously, at times, toward becoming a circus act, Immortal actually avoids that pitfall by toning down all of the usual flipping in favor of focusing on the man and, of course, his dance moves.
Although some of the coolest scenes of the night had nothing to do with Jackson the man, but everything to do with the iconic items he made legendary. For example, his shoes. Two men stepped into a giant pair of Jackson's signature shoes - the ones famous for the "Smooth Criminal" lean, the moonwalk, you name it to bring a larger-than-life version of them to life.
Even Jackon's glove gets a place in the show. A single, giant, sparkly glove takes on a life of its own next to Jackson's shoes and socks, seemingly alive as it snores and awakens to tap in time with the beat. There was no need for flaming acrobatics or aerial dancers, and yet there was still an added element of playfulness which is unique to Cirque.
Naturally, aerial dancers and the like do appear. The show incorporates them mildly into pieces centered around video and dancers in various MJ garb displaying the most recent lighting technology in their costumes.
At times, what is normally the bread and butter of Cirque takes a backseat to a smorgasbord of visual aids. Other times, it brings certain subtleties of Jackson's greatest hits to life, like a pole dancer high above the audience working it for "Dangerous" or the balletic performance of a lone ariel dancer to "Just Can't Stop Loving You." Visually, it can be a bunch of organized chaos.
The show doesn't really tell Jackson's life story but it highlights his playful side everywhere you look. The first 20 minutes of the show were vaguely devoted to his childhood and the gates of Jackson's Neverland Ranch with childlike statues coming alive. (Fittingly the soundtrack is "Have You Seen My Childhood?")
Then Michael Jackson's "giving tree" takes center stage and the scene plays out with an unnerving, giant Michael Jackson child's head surveying the entire scene through a window. Hmmm...
The majority of the two hour show more than lived up to the hype. It's fun and incorporates Cirque with all of Jackson's best songs and dance moves. But that first 20 minutes is creepy and seems completely out of place. It's as though the creators knew they should touch on Jackson's obsession with remaining childlike, but finished the show and didn't know where in the show to stick it.
Luckily the transition to the rest of the show is good enough (here's looking at you, "This Place Hotel" - a number filled with exotic tango in a hotel setting that flawlessly leads into "Smooth Criminal") that you almost manage to forget the disturbing and random childhood segment. Almost.
MJ's spirit is definitely in the house with every single song and note, image and carefully choreographed move. The dancers who take the stage - to perform Jackson's iconic moves or as ariel dancers who fly above the audience - feel it and take that energy to another level to celebrate Jackson. Because that's what the show is at its core: a celebration of a legacy.
Perhaps Lamarre spoke too boldly when originally proclaiming the show would make the audience feel Jackson was back. It's a big party and celebration of Jackson and it doesn't disappoint in paying tribute to arguably the best performer of all time. How many other artists could inspire a show to this level and have such an impressive catalogue as to provide a two-hour soundtrack?
The show is a spectacle of color, lights and technology fused with live-action acrobatics that only Cirque can pull off. It doesn't even remotely fool the audience into believing they're at a Michael Jackson show but it will inspire a huge arena to dance and celebrate their hero's life. All while rocking out to some of his best hits in an arena rigged with a great sound system. What's not to like?

Johannesburg - The two police officers accused of raping a Johannesburg woman were each granted R2 000 bail by the Alexandra Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.The matter was postponed to February 23 next year when a DNA test report will be presented.The officers are a constable and a sergeant, aged 26 and 43 respectively.They were arrested last week for allegedly raping a 27-year-old woman in Paulshof, in the north of Johannesburg, on December 2.Magistrate Syta Prinsloo said the main reason for granting the two bail was that an identity parade was not held for the victim to point out the people who raped her."The defence lawyers say the State does not have a strong case here. We take that into consideration because there's presently no proof that the woman was raped by these officers," she said."It is not disputable that the woman was raped, but the element of identity is in dispute."Prinsloo read out the victim's statement made to the police, which she said contradicted the movement report about the vehicle used by the accused on the night of the rape."The vehicle tracking device reported that the engine of the officer's vehicle was switched off for only six minutes at the time of the rape. It further showed the officers were in Sandown at that time, far away from the scene of the rape."However Prinsloo pointed out that it was not the accused's profession that warranted the State granting them bail. She said that could make many people view the case in a bad light.The officers were represented by their lawyers, Jaya Moodely and Kamesh Maharaj.The courtroom was packed to capacity and some people were refused entry.
innocent until proven guilty,why then where they arrested if they were not close to the scene , this could have been sorted without the courts,waisting time and money while the real guys are still out there and if the rape is the truth
y would the police want to rape if they knew they gonna get implicated then again y would this woman lie :? hmmmm
what's that about the accused's profession?
I'm guessing prostitution or something - since they say it will affect their case negatively - but then why put that in the article, there's no substance to it at all.
The accused is the police officers, they are not making any insinuation about the ACCUSER's profession. Read the article!
the accused are police, not prostitues
@aardvarkie Do you have any idea how shocking your attitude is? The woman is not a prostitute, fact. And even if she was, does this mean that she deserves this in your opinion? Take a step back and look at yourself
So they can now go kill the women who reported them ..........stupid non-justice system
This whole investigation is a joke...before the investigation is even under way the newspapers are already splashing this over the front page as a "Dual Rape Horror"...how they can even say that without finding these policeman guilty is shocking....the state has a weak case with no evidence, everyone is getting emotionally charged about our police system and these 2 officers...seriously everyone has lost their minds. I'm not saying these officers are innocent and that the women are lying. But sheesh can we let the investigation reveal hard evidence before convict anyone. Something is very flawed about this whole process! Its disrespectful for the 2 women that have suffered this ordeal and for the legal process. If these officers are guilty then their time in court will come....if this investigation is carried out properly which by the sounds of things is doubtful??
Yes Andre, I'm with you on this one. I am sure if a rape is reported the victim should be examined by a doctor. That gives some proof.
Agreed Andre.
Didyou hear the girls talking on the radio? Fail.
They are probably waiting for DNA tests from the rape kit. She probably did see a dr.
R2000 bail you have got to be F-ING kidding me, south africa is fast becoming the joke capital of the world with crap like this going on
Well maybe i didnt read the first article but to me this story is not complete. How the hell did they get arrested?
I feel the police are botching this investigation deliberately as seems to be the case with most cases of police rape.
Regardless of the lack of evidence or the supposed guilt of these two - the woman was raped by two POLICEMEN or are we saying she fabricated it all? The issue here is how pultry the bail was set at and how endemic rape is in this country. The whole thing stinks!
ye but if its bail of 2 innocent police officers then how is that unjust? If its bail of 2 guilty rapists then yes we have a HUGE problem. Not saying they are either guilty or innocent but everyone has already convicted them and called them pigs without any evidence to support it...there's a huge problem with that too!
Fair point Andre - but we still have the very real possibilty that policmen are gang raping vulnerable women. This situation is untenable in any society - yet in SA it seems trivial and 2000 Rand bail certainly demostrates that!
no undoubtedly, we do have a real possibility... and the rape aside we do have a real problem with proven incidents of intimidation from officers to women late at night, that's been proven...but this investigation has yet to reveal anything so its unfair to comment on the fairness of a R2000 bail for a crime that may not even been committed by these officers is all i'm getting at. If they are found guilty then let the public outrage be known....before that happens though people are getting all defensive for nothing.
About three or four days ago some of a gang of robbers were arrested on the East Rand I think and it was reported that two of them were wearing police uniforms. That's more or less that I heard being said over the radio.
The point is that it is not uncommon for criminals to dress up and travel like policemen.
What about the woman who didn't stop for the cops, but rode to the police station instead. The cop chased her into the charge office, threw her to the ground and throttled her. He was found Not guilty of assault, but the only witnesses were other cops? I think you err on the side of caution. Half the cops are thugs and are a danger to the people they are sworn to protect. The other half have to live under the shame of the corrupt colleagues.
@Andre: Bail is decided before innocence or guilt has been determined. Bail amount mainly depends on the severity of the crime, potential threat to society, prior convictions and the potential risk of flight. Given that the most important of the conditions i pointed out above are quite highly negative for these officers, R2 000 bail is a very stale joke for these accused, especially since they make at least R7 000 a month and really wouldn't think twice abt skipping out on a lousy 2 grand they probably made in a weekend from bribes.
Bail is supposed to be high enough that somebody will not lightly consider skipping out on that money and also reflect the severity of the crime. If they are found innocent later, then fine they will get their money back.
I thought once the suspect appears in court the media is allowed to name the suspect. So why are these 2 not named even after appearing in court?
Because they have not pleaded. Once they have pleaded, guilty or not guilty, they can be named.
But off course they have!
If nothing else this was an oppurtunity for our justice system to show the public that when it comes to breaking the law your position/rank in society cannot save you. Test passed or failed... You decide. Myself im unsure i do however believe there far to many police officers capable of exactly this
Locking up and keeping people in jail without reasonable evidence will not deter the guilty ones.
As for fabricating the incident, there may be other reasonable explanations.
As for the act of fabrication, some people will watch a TV soapy tonight and tomorrow relate how the same events happened to them. Some people see little green men in flying/floating saucers.
You do not deprive people of their freedoms unless you have to and you only have to if the evidence supports you.
MANY get arrested in this country based on lies and whims - on all kinds of allegations. They sit inside for perhaps years and then it appears they should not have been arrested at all.
It is so easy to be outspoken against others' freedoms until the bad luck hits you personally, or someone close to you.
The average law abiding citizen also deserves a place in this country and has a right not to be targeted or be intimidated by unreasonableness and arbitrary actions.
How do you actually punish the guilty by locking up the innocent and keeping them behind bars based on nothing more than whims and suspicion?
I see my earlier comment was removed. Can't imagine of any rational reason for it. It was a response to what I considered a rather emotional, unthinking comment by someone else. All I said was that wait until you or someone close to you are arrested for bugger all.
I also feel that too many comments have been made across various news sites that entirely insensitive to the survivors of this rape. Allusions to consent, drunken deservedness and the like. We have to catch the right people yes, but we also have to make sure that we support these women completely. Imagine your wife, daughter or mother is raped, has the courage to go to the media and the police and is then publicly doubted in one of the most trying times of her life. I think what's in question here is ensuring the right people ARE CAUGHT and PAY FOR THIS CRIME and that the police DO NOT BOTCH THIS INVESTIGATION.
@Emily, no chance of that, these two woman will not get justice. The trend has been that rapists getting off far outweigh those being convicted. Let alone cops who will lie for their mates. This will go unpunished, as vehicle records will be doctored, and it will be their word against the woman's.
When I was in the army and if we found one guy out of line and that was going to adversely affect the whole platoon, we'd quietly sort them out, after lights out. If the sandton police have any self respect, they'd get hold of these guys and teach them a lesson. Right now the JhB metro police are looking really bad with this morning's attack and robbery on a crippled homeless man by another JhB Metro policeman.
News24 drama queens, there you go again. I just hope when this fabrication clearly comes out, as it is goin to come out, you wont hide your tails between your hind legs & shy away but come out & say sorry to the victims.
The thing with horrible stories is that so many think they are unbelievable and opt for the easy route of disbelieving. When it happens to one of your friends you will hope to receive the same support.
It could have been police from another area on duty or even off duty or it could have been criminals clothed as policemen.
It's unlikely that it is a fabrication.
The technology is available. No police other enforcement whoever should be allowed to conduct duties without proper surveillance the record of which can be stored. If visually and audibly recorded both suspects and officers will be protected against untrue allegations.
Here a tracking device may be useful as evidence. Still, more could have been accomplished. What can the problem be that the authorities do not take the simple expedient way to assist ALL?
Only if we can get rid of this subliminal bigotory. Lets wait for the ont come. By the way i have a cousin who was raped twice, im just bein real as per what i further heard about this story.
These two ladies involved are known to me so it really pains me to see some of the comments posted. I really hope they get the justice that they deserve. And you are also here commenting so I would include you with all of us feeling strongly about this situation.
R2000 to have sex with ANY woman in this country...
Certainly seems that way. Time to bring out the vigilantes.
Sloppy investigation work from investigator's side. Should have made sure the case was watertight.Where the officers in the same vehicle at that time when it was in Sandown or did they use another vehicle so to hide their tracks and another officer used said vehicle @ Sandown? Can the track record of ALL vehicles stationed at specific police station and even other nearby stations be scrutenized? Identity parade is crucial to strenghten a case. If it was the officers in question that raped, then its a pity they are back on the streets. Victim must be vigilant at all times whilst the case is still open. Hope sample was successfully collected for DNA that can identify the rapists.

Contact Info / Websites
Sup guys. So our names are Vash, Derek and Mali, nice to meet you all.
Anyways, just wanted to inform everyone a bit about us. So far we are just some
guys that have been animating sprites for years now. Derek and Vash started
thanks to site like newgrounds. We recently decided to start working together to upload
more content on the web. Sadly places like youtube aren't really the best when it comes to
animators and uploading animations. So we decided to also start uploading our content over
to newgrounds, the site that made us into who we are. Hopefully we can help entertain and
make a few people laugh in the process. Hope you guys enjoy.
Oh yeah and one more thing, we might be posting a lot of our older videos up here through out
the day so we are sorry if it gets spammy. Kisses ;D

Alex Bevan/Rachel Brown & the Beatnik Playboys: 7 p.m., $10. Nighttown.
Eclipse Movement: 8 p.m., $10. Musica.
Chris Hatton (in the Wine Bar): 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Imfromcleveland.com & Dirty Jones present The Shake Up with Nuke Franklin / Brian Baker/Common Ave/Archie Green: 9 p.m., $10. Grog Shop.
Jack of Heart/Mr. California/Royal Blood: 9 p.m., $5. Now That's Class.
Jam Night with Tower City Blues: 8:30 p.m. Grillers Pub.
The Main Squeeze/The MuckleBuck/Acid Cats: There are now so many musical threads that filter into the jam band scene that it's sometimes difficult to parse out an individual band's inspirations. Not that that matters too much, of course. (I mean, on the one hand, we're just here for the music, right?) But the Main Squeeze does a real fine job of making an analysis as multifaceted as possible. The band mashes up funk and soul with zeal, producing a full sound that can morph into an entirely different beast at a moment's notice. Their live show — the main act — has garnered acclaim and excited praise for a while now, riddling tonight's Cleveland appearance with anticipation. They've dropped two stellar albums (2011's First Drops being a terrific primer to the band). There's a bright future ahead for these guys, and the music they've already put out there has had time to develop a full-bodied life on the stage. 9 p.m., $8 ADV, $10 DOS. Beachland Tavern. (Eric Sandy),
Spyder Stompers/Rebecca Wohlever: 8 p.m., 8 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Acoustic Basement Tour: Now in its second year, this offshoot of the Warped Tour features punk bands playing unplugged. This particular installment brings Transit, Hit the Lights and Brian Marquis to town. It also includes Newark, Ohio-based Front Porch Step, Jake Mcelfresh's acoustic solo project. The "group" has just released its debut, Aware. Songs such as the title track and "Drown" push Mcelfresh's earnest vocals to the front of the mix. The music has rightly drawn comparisons to Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Saves the Day's Chris Conley. 6:30 p.m., $12 ADV, $14 DOS. Mahall's 20 Lanes. (Jeff Niesel)
A Concert for Open M featuring House Popes/Freez-R-Burn/Brick Road Ramblers/Brian Lisik: 8 p.m., $10. Musica.
Greensky Bluegrass/Tumbleweed Wanderers: 8 p.m., $17 ADV, $20 DOS. Beachland Ballroom.
Hollywood Slim/The Del Rios: 8 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Uncle Leo (in the Wine Bar): 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
G. Love & Special Sauce: Not many of the alt-rock and hip-hop acts that MTV made famous in the '90s are still kicking. G. Love & Special Sauce is the exception. Twenty years ago, the singer-guitarist G. Love and his two-piece band released their self-titled debut and had an instant hit with the woozy blues-meets-hip-hop number "Cold Beverage." In the two decades since that album's release, Love and crew have consistently toured and recorded; they received a good second wind in 2003 when Love and singer-songwriter Jack Johnson collaborated on the Johnson tune "Rodeo Clowns." Love's forthcoming album, Sugar, which will be released on April 22, reunites Love with upright bassist James "Jimi Jazz" Prescott and drummer Jeffrey "The Houseman" Clemens for the first time in eight years. The band will perform its first album, G. Love & Special Sauce, in its entirety during tonight's first set. 9 p.m., $20 ADV, $25 DOS. House of Blues. (Niesel)
Macabre: 7 p.m., $10.40. Agora Ballroom.
Mistake by the Lake presents Petrus Fest with Dog Lady Island/Andrew Coltrane/Arlo Zyvo/Moltar/Witchbeam/Fragments/Jason Rodriguez + Stopped Clock/Black Vision: 9 p.m., $10. Now That's Class.
Outlaws I & I/Ras Gato's Gullah Gumbo: 10 p.m., $7. Grog Shop.
Carrie Rodriguez: 8:30 p.m., $20. Nighttown.
Schwartz Brothers: 8:30 p.m., $6. Beachland Tavern.
Soul Music & Other Soul Music for the Soul: 6 p.m., $5. Happy Dog.
Tegan and Sara/Jessica Lea Mayfield: Oasis proved that putting siblings together in a band isn't always a great idea. The Gallagher brothers fought like arch rivals out for blood. Yet for sisters Tegan and Sara Quin, who formed Tegan and Sara nearly 15 years ago, feuding hasn't been part of the equation. "We have our conflicts and debates," says Sara Quin. "We've just learned to manage them with a gentler approach over the years. We were raised to keep our battles private whenever possible and our career is no different. I would be beyond humiliated to air our grievances publicly about one another. We have built thick skin and an array of skills to keep the conflict mostly at bay." It probably helps that the band's popularity continues to escalate. With its latest album, Heartthrob, the group sought to "expand and build" its fanbase, so it opts for a poppier approach and emphasizes the synth-pop side of its sound. That doesn't take away from the band's deeply personal lyrics and terrific vocal harmonies. "Even though this record is more 'produced' sounding, we've always had to dig through very dense compositions in the rehearsal stages," says Quin. "Our records have become cleaner and beefier but even on previous albums there were dozens of great ideas that came together to create the music. It's always a mystery to try and discover which of those ideas need to be there to create the most interesting version of the song live." 8 p.m., $35-$40. Masonic Auditorium. (Niesel)
Velvet Shakedown: 9:30 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
The Black Angels/Roky Erickson & the Hounds of Baskerville/Golden Animals: 8 p.m., $22. Beachland Ballroom.
Blackberry Smoke/Delta Spirit: Last year, the guys in Blackberry Smoke were on a tour that found them switching between arenas and clubs as they alternately opened for Zac Brown Band and headlined their own club dates. Their show at House of Blues was a sellout and the band — Southern rockers who proudly carry on in the tradition of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band — came off as some kind of newfangled version of the Black Crowes as it mixed country, blues and rock into a sonic stew with its own, particularly delectable taste. Tonight's show should be just as thrilling. 8:30 p.m., $20 ADV, $22 DOS. House of Blues. (Niesel)
Hard Day's Night Headlines Kent Beatles Fest: 8 p.m., $15-$18. The Kent Stage.
Adrian Krygowski/Joey Beltram/Oldboy (in the Locker Room): 9 p.m., free. Mahall's 20 Lanes.
Brian Lisik (in the Wine Bar): 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Mo Mojo/In-Groovement: 8 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Relaxer: 9 p.m., $5. Musica.
Scarlet and the Harlots: 9 p.m., $5. Happy Dog.
That '80s Band: 9:30 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Tinsel Teeth/Swindella/Red Sun/Real Regular: 9 p.m., $5. Now That's Class.
Thalia Zedek Band/Banging Fragiles/Brian Straw/Chin Shoda: The past year has been a busy one for singer Thalia Zedek, and she's only gearing up for more. After releasing the solo album Via and then reuniting with the indie rock act Come and reissuing Eleven:Eleven, she sat down and made SIX with her band this past October. Via has a layered quality but is dotted with accents of piano and lined with a husky viola. One song, "Want You to Know," even features a psychedelic-sounding guitar solo. On it, she takes her brooding, dreamy alternagirl style and pares it down in tracks like "Julie Says" and "Afloat," letting her voice take over in spaces guitar would normally fill. Both these releases focus on themes of recovery, loyalty and gratitude, reflecting a broader snapshot of Zedek's life as a recovering addict. 9 p.m., $10. Grog Shop. (Liz Trenholme)
Joshua Breakstone/Peter Dominguez Duo: 7 p.m., $10. Nighttown.
Cats on Holiday: 6 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Dark Star Orchestra: There are all sorts of ways to reignite the Grateful Dead's legacy in 2014. Local revival acts abound, jam bands get together for Dead tribute nights, Joe Russo's Almost Dead is making enticing waves (although note that, meanwhile, Furthur is now officially on hiatus). But Dark Star Orchestra remains a distinguished band that conjures the Dead in unique ways. The band rose up in 1997 in the wake of Jerry Garcia's untimely 1995 death. The idea was simple: Pick up Dead shows and perform the set list as it was written. Last year, DSO treated Cleveland to the May 21, 1977, show at the Lakeland Civic Center in Florida. Coalescing around a first set-closing "Scarlet Begonias" into "Fire on the Mountain," the set list was just damn near perfect. Who knows what era the band will take us to tonight? 8 p.m., $22.50 ADV, $25 DOS. House of Blues. (Sandy)
Death Stalks Sudan/Violent Suburban Marriage/Twat Waffle/Goyder: 8:30 p.m., $6. Grog Shop.
The Expendables featuring Stick Figure: Blending the alternately rowdy and sublime elements of the punk-meets-reggae sorts of subgenres, the Expendables certainly own their little niche. While a lot of their albums are great (Gettin' Filthy probably most readily distills the band's essence), it's their acoustic album that seems to be the Expendables' most enticing listen. Really, the laid-back approach of Gone Soft underscores the band's Santa Cruz roots in ways that heavier punk tunes just don't. To that end, what the Expendables do well is cover a lot of territory in just a few songs. Take a cross-section of any album for an example of that. Their live shows mirror that sense of variety too, giving audiences a chance to a) dance their asses off b) bob their heads in time with the two-four beats of a reggae send-up and c) throw down in whatever impromptu mosh pit might form at the foot of the stage. Go forth and rock! 6 p.m., $15.60. Agora Ballroom. (Sandy)
Dave Hause/Northcote: 8:30 p.m., $10. Beachland Tavern.
Night Owls: 3 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Polka Bash with the Polka Pirates: 3 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Kris Allen/Caroline Glaser: 8 p.m., $20-$50. Beachland Ballroom.
Dark Tranquility/Omnium Gatherum/Exmortus: 7 p.m., $16.64-$52. Agora Ballroom.
The Humminbird/Baat/Istvan Medgyesi: 9 p.m., $7. Mahall's 20 Lanes.
Ernie Krivda Jazz Workshop/Amanda Walsh: 7 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Huey Mack/D-Why/Timmy D/Zac Gatz/Veeno/B. Rich: 8:30 p.m., $12. Grog Shop.
Mojo Big Band: 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Velvet Voyage (in the Wine Bar): 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Galactic/Ryan Montbleau/Sassafraz: Straight outta the bayou, Galactic brings a funky energy that few other bands replicate with any sort of authority. Theirs is a sound that dwells hundreds of miles away from our frozen Cleveland terra, making tonight's show more of a vacation than anything. G'head and cue up Carnivale Electricos and take in the New Orleans-inspired vibes of "Magalenha" and "Carnivale Time." Hell, even the interlude "Guero Bounce" is a danceable highlight (and fully capable of morphing into a longer jam segment, clearly). Last week, the band dropped new tune "Dolla Diva" to widespread joy on the Internet. The heavy emphasis on bangin' drums and bass recalls the likes of "Guero Bounce" and promises all sorts of ass-shaking at tonight's show. 7 p.m., $25. Beachland Ballroom. (Sandy)
Jon Mosey/Charlie Mosbrook: 8 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
Robin Nolan Trio: Carrying the musical legacy of gypsy jazz to the modern era, Robin Nolan performs with carefree looseness backed by astonishing precision. In the vein of the gypsy jazz great, Django Reinhardt, Nolan's exotic harmonies blend with classic swing seamlessly. On his latest record, Gypsy Blue, these genres weave in and out of each other, sometimes even with a little bit of folksy twang. The title track makes use of catchy syncopation as Nolan skillfully solos on top. While the legacy of Django is a tough act for any guitarist to follow, Nolan's formative years studying the master's works led to some wonderful interpretations of his pieces. Tonight, he performs his exotic swing with his trio that includes a second guitarist and upright bassist. 7 p.m., $15. Nighttown. (Patrick Stoops)
Two Set Tuesday (in the Wine Bar): 6:30 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
10 X 3 Hosted by Brent Kirby (in the Wine Bar): 8 p.m. Brothers Lounge.
Tommy Castro and the Painkillers/Brickhouse Blues Band: Two years ago, blues guitarist Tommy Castro ditched the horn section to bring in the Painkillers, a leaner and meaner backing band. These guys back him up on his new album, The Devil You Know. The disc kicks off with the raucous title track and then never lets up as Castro and crew kick up some serious dust on tunes such as "Center of Attention" and "The Whale Have Swallowed Me," the latter of which concludes with a bluesy jam and solo from guest singer Tasha Taylor. 8 p.m., $20 ADV, $22 DOS. Beachland Ballroom. (Niesel)
The Damn Choir/Filmstrip/The Judys: 8:30 p.m., $8. Grog Shop.
Jane Monheit: On her latest album, The Heart of the Matter, Jane Monheit once again displays her vocal prowess. The Grammy-nominated singer beautifully works within a variety of jazz genres. Bossa nova takes on tracks like "A Gente Merece Ser Feliz" and the Carpenter's classic "Sing," delicately groove the album, giving it some much needed momentum from slower numbers like the Beatles' "The Long and Winding Road." Her voice smoothly glides along on gentle melodies like "Little Man You've Had a Busy Day," lending itself to a little bluesier, smokier style of jazz. While a full orchestration of strings and winds accompany her on the album, tonight she performs as a duo with her pianist for a more intimate, private performance. 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., $30. Nighttown. (Stoops)
Swirly in the Fryer/The Old One-Two/Old Souls: 8:30 p.m., $5. Beachland Tavern.
Xela/Eric Oswald: 8:30 p.m. Barking Spider Tavern.
