not sure what i did wrong, but it was soggy. The flavour was good, but texture wasnt so great. my kids wouldnt touch it :(
The family loved this. I made a couple of changes. No almonds. I'm allergic to tree nuts and gluten intolerant. I used rice krispies for the almonds and gluten free flour for the ap flour. I wasn't in love with the texture of the corn meal but it had a good crunch and wasn't bad. The fact that the family loved it will have me saving the recipe AND doing it again.
What a great recipe! The crushed almonds were a great touch. Feel free to add some turmeric to the dry mix for a dash of colour.

NEW YORK—Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas is expanding its portfolio, adding five new-build properties across five countries. All are scheduled for completion by 2016.
The new additions will include the brand's Western Hemisphere debut, with properties under development in St. Lucia, Dominican Republic and Colombia; its first presence in Bhutan, and the opening of Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain, China at the end of 2013.
The expansion is in tandem with new leadership: Wolf Hengst is the new executive chairman and Neil Jacobs is CEO.
Bernhard Bohnenberger remains as president of Six Senses and Anna Bjurstam is the new VP/spa and wellness for the brand.
Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas also will introduce a new website in early March.
Six Senses resorts and spas currently operate in Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and Europe.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

The last time we wrote about the Fiat USA commercial Immigrants, it was to question whether the ad provided our first glimpse of the 500T. That was a year ago, but Fiat isn't finished utilizing that commercial theme. The song in the one-minute commercial was Sexy People (All Around the World) by Italian songstress Arianna, and the Immigrant commercial has been lengthened and turned into a music video for the song as Arianna prepares that track and more for her first studio album.

Provence Wine Tasting Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon
- Details
- Reviews
Blend ancient Roman history and traditional winemaking heritage on this 9-hour Provence wine-tasting day trip from Avignon. Take a scenic drive through the Châteauneuf-du-Pape winemaking territories. Visit two wineries with your guide and sample the wine for yourself during tasting sessions. Discover the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Pont du Gard, a 1st-century Roman aqueduct. Travel deep into the Alpilles mountain range and visit the medieval villages of Les Baux de Provence and Gordes. Enjoy personal attention from your guide on this small-group tour, limited to eight people.
Following a morning pickup from your accommodation in Avignon, meet your guide, hop into your air-conditioned minivan and head out of the city into the rolling hills of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape winemaking territories. With fertile soil and plenty of warm sunshine, the region offers ideal grape-growing conditions.
Visit two local wineries with your guide and gain insight into the grape varieties which flourish here. Counoise, Muscardin and Picardin are all known to grow well, but there are many more! Admire row after row of lush vines and learn of the age-old winegrowing techniques still in use today. Enjoy tasting sessions at each of the wineries during your visits and gain appreciation of the delicate flavors at play in your glass.
In the afternoon, continue on to the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Pont du Gard — a mighty aqueduct built by the Romans in the 1st century. Enjoy panoramic views over the Gardon River below and listen as your guide details the aqueduct's historical significance.
Head onward into the Alpilles Mountains and visit the picturesque medieval village of Les Baux de Provence. Perched on a rocky limestone outcrop, the village boasts amazing views over the French countryside. Gain insight into the village's rich heritage from your guide, then continue on to Gordes — widely considered the most attractive village in France.
In Gordes, enjoy free time to explore at your leisure. Perhaps find a local café or restaurant for lunch (own expense) and take the time to explore the cobbled streets. Like Les Baux de Provence, Gordes sits high in the Alpilles Mountains and the views over the landscape below are breathtaking.
When it's time to leave Gordes behind, hop back in your minivan and travel back to your hotel in Avignon, where your day trip will come to an end.

From no-calorie cupcakes to pinch-free stilettos, we admit that we're prone to wishful thinking. Another item near the top of our if-only-it-were-real list: a truly non-greasy body lotion. Much to our surprise, this decadent organic body butter fits the bill. It contains a trio of antioxidant-rich moisturizers that nourishes skin and wards off sun damage.
I couldn't use this product. I had to throw it away. So awful! Although the body butter is creamy and moisturizing, it smells so strongly that I become allergic and get a running nose. Seriously! I had to take Allegra and wash my hands to take the product off because I couldn't tolerate the smell.1
I hate this brand entirely! From the shave creams to these lotions!!! They can't ever seem to find a happy middle, this lotion was thin, did not penetrate and barely had a smell...while their shave cream is like cream cheese thick and smells way too strong.. Why would I even put on a lotion that doesn't serve its #1 purpose ?1
I have very dry skin and I have tried many body butters and other lotions for dry skin as well as regular lotions.this product did not make a difference. I kept it at work to use after washing my hands and I kept having to reapply. For something to be called a body butter-this didn't even compare to regular lotions for dry skin. A body butter should definitely be a lot more moisturizing than this.1

7REGAL is currently my top favourite Playtech casino, displacing Club Gold when its no-wagering bonuses were discontinued. For playtech enthusiasts like me, I would recommend playing at 7Regal. Wagering requirements are only 12x deposit+bonus, wagering tracking is provided so you know exactly where you stand at any time, has option to accept or decline bonuses being offered so that you can play without wagering when and if you wanted to, payouts are completed within 3-4 working days, and everything else about this casino is just satisfying. No complaints from me so far! ;)
I know a lot of players who prefer to play in Playtech casinos, and this would be one of the best that I have seen so far. Although I would prefer a little simpler site, it works fast, and the navigation surely won't be a problem.
If you have already play in some Playtech casinos, you will see familiar games. Not to be worried, they add all the new games regularly, so you will always be playing the latest and greatest.
One of the measurement of how the casino works is their support, and in my books it's simple: bad support equals bad casino. No problems with that here though, I did contact them a few times (more to check them out than because I needed some assistance). They were really good, informative and polite.
At first, I wasn't all that thrilled with the bonuses, but then, I got real lucky and had no problems making a nice little sum at the start. After that, I transferred the money without any problems.
Cool Casino, mostly because it's Playtech and has Playtech slots. The games are pretty nice, support is very good, you have all the elements to enjoy your time while playing. Promotions are also great and you can take advantage of one listed here, courtesy of LCB. Good luck!
Good playtech casino, good bonuses, good support. They verify my account in few hours, which is fast, but like many others playtech casinos they have 4 days pending period for withdrawals :(
Trusted site, with typical playtech games. Good customer service. Do need to provide documents.
Downside - pending 4 days for a withdrawal.
Min deposit here is only R100 :)
If you think that 7 is your lucky number, maybe you should try your luck in 7Regal Casino. 7Regal is cool, they are giving 10 pounds for free, only type code maxbonus, design of site is very nice, huge offer of interesting games.. Solid..
They're quite generous with their free bonuses if u make deposits and there's no max cashout on them either
Yeah . I love PlayTech. I love the games what they offer, mostly the Marvel ones. Just registered and got amazing 300% deposite bonus , what i think is great start when you deposite just 25$ :) I recomend this casino to everyone. Only the withdrawal pending time is long.
This casino is cool i like it very much i think is very important to play in this casino because he help me to earn a lot of money and join it
I like Playtech casinos so when i saw this casino and their welcome offer of euros free chip,of course i took their offer to try their games.Well used the free chip but didnt managed to wager it but had really good time,because i was playing Fortune Hill slot maybe more then half hour.I have never deposited in this casino,but from all i have read about this casino they are decent with good bonuses and casino it can be trusted.
As a fan of Playtech software, 7 Regal casino is in my list of favorite casinos. I like their bonuses, support is always great and the casino consists of my favorite this software games. Never have been disappointed or let down and definitely recommend them.
7 Regal is one of the best playtech casinos and I love playing here. They have great software with a lot of interesting games. I love their unique games like Final Score, penalty shot out and a lot of other arcade games which you can find only on playtech software. Beside great games they have nice customer support. So this casino have all you need for great gambling.
A lot of cash lost here,i start here few years ago, when i was playing big, and win big, but now 7 regal announce me , cause they will not accept play anymore from romania...i dont know why...but what the heck..i strat to not deposit here 1 year ago, so is not a big lost. Even so, 4 stars!
I tried and I got the 10$ free no deposit bonus .. but i lost it immidiatly on the Gladiator slot .. now its ok casino for me and there was no problem whatsoever but i know its game of luck but still couldnt get rid of the feeling that it just did not want to pay me anything slots is what i am talking abut its still probably just my unlucky time and i will rate it 3.5 because its worth of a try but i doubt i will deposit here anytime soon because i just could not win with it :)
the 7regal casino is definetly a good place to play, the withdrawals are fast and secure, there are many different payments options and the support is also nice so overall its a nice casino.
Although this casino is linked to the group that owns winner casino, magic red and winnerclub its a tad different to its sister sites, it appears to be more trustworthy from the reviews on other sites, I played there for about 6 months and didn't have any problems, I didn't withdraw from there, I like thief mobile platform and and have a soft spot for playtech,
Before playing here I advise anyone to carefully read there terms and conditions
Before playing there
I played at this casino in in the early days of my game play, it's a nice casino offers both instant play and
Mobile, nice no deposit bonus of 10€ but sadly thier terms and conditions are very dodgy in the event of a progressive jackpot win they payout monthly in low denominations super dodgey in my book
The homepage of 7regal gives the impression of being very professional.
But when I tried the browser based version the connection kept getting lost.
The games worked after I downloaded the software.
I like playtech games, they are second only to microgaming in my estimation. I am always glad to get a free chance to play my favorite slot, Gladiator
But it was not my lucky day at 7regal, maybe next time.
Nice designed website, you can play flash directly in browser or download the playtech software, which runs without any problems, no game laggs nothing. Deposited like 5 times already and had 3 cashout, all with banktransfer and got all within 5 days. Verification fast no problems. Had some luck with the high variance playtech slots on this casino, but didnt play here for over 1 year, cant say if they changed or something,
There are many awful playtech casinos on the gambling planet so this one is better one.
simple designed site, it is easy to navigate and to find what you are looking for.
They have some versions of welcoem bonus and it looks great. Many % for bonsu and wagering requirements are just 15 times. It looks great but i still didnt try to deposit because i have found much better playtech casinos. But it's always interesting to try something new so i think in the near future i will make my first one and here,

Oklahoma Rocked by Monday Afternoon Tornado Outbreak [VIDEO]
Multiple tornadoes reported in central Oklahoma late Monday afternoon
Multiple tornadoes reported in central Oklahoma late Monday afternoon
The awesome and frightening power of a tornado was on full display Saturday when a twister torched its way through Wray, Colo.
Severe storms uprooted trees and left thousands across Texoma without power, and a possible tornado was spotted near Henrietta.
Severe storms battered parts of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma Sunday evening and overnight
It was 37 years ago that one of the most destructive storms in United States history swept through our listening area. The event would put Wichita Falls in the national news and history books, while almost taking it off of the map.
I couldn't even begin to describe how pissed I would be if this happened to me.
New footage released shows the power of the tornado that hit north Texas the day after Christmas and killed 11.
While most our region was preparing for blizzard-like conditions, the Dallas area was buckling down for a tornado. The images of the tornado was what movies are made of, but the devastation left behind is heartbreaking.

He was named to Europe's team of the year in 2010, '11 and '12. And yet when he goes out for a stroll with his girlfriend, he's the less famous of the two. Piqué and his partner, the Colombian pop singer Shakira, have a 17-month-old boy, Milan, and the mother-son duo are certain to be prominent in Spain's fan section in Brazil. SI sat down with Piqué at the office of his Barcelona soccer video-game company GoldenManager.com—decorated with framed jerseys from the '10 World Cup final next to a piece of the goal net—to talk about Spain's mind-boggling run, celebrity life and . . . the San Antonio Spurs? (Interview edited for length and clarity): SI: Spain has a difficult World Cup group: The Netherlands, Chile, Australia. What are your thoughts on this group? Piqué: I think, as you say, a really difficult group. Because the first game we are playing the same game as the final in 2010, that makes it important. Normally the first game in the World Cup, it's really important for the team to start with a win. Then you have Chile, which is another really difficult team, really tough. They pressure a lot; they are really intense. Australia is maybe the easiest one of the three, but you never know. In a World Cup, everything can happen. I think we have to be really concentrated and try to finish first. Because if we finish second or don't qualify; it will not be great news. If we finish second, the first game we have is against Brazil if Brazil finishes first in its group. I think I prefer to qualify first and face Brazil in the semifinal or in the final. SI: The Dutch were unexpectedly dirty in the 2010 final. Do you think your game this time with them will be different? Piqué: I think so. I think because it was a final, and we were playing really well during the World Cup, they tried to change a little bit their game, their style of play. It was a decision that the coach or the players made at that time. It wasn't right for them because I think that we deserved to win the final. We were the better team. They just tried to stop us, and they have a lot of quality to try to beat us without tackling as hard as they did. But you never know. We won that important game. And we will see in 2014 how it will work. SI: I went back and I counted. If you go back to Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012, Spain has conceded six goals in 19 games and zero goals in the knockout rounds. Piqué: It's incredible, eh? SI: It's crazy. How do you explain it? Piqué: Sometimes Spain is recognized in the world because we are playing really well. But I think our main strength as a team is that we are really powerful because we are strong defensively. I mean, we are playing with [Sergio] Busquets and Xabi Alonso normally, but they are two defensive midfielders. At the same time, they know how to play the ball. And then, I think, we have a really good defense, too. In tournaments like these where you are playing knockout, you have to maintain zero in your goal. Then, if you score a goal, you qualify. If you see the World Cup in 2010, the four knockout games, were 1-0. It was important to be really good in the defending part. SI: You have so many superstars on the Spanish national team. How do you get everyone to put their egos aside and just play for the team? Piqué: I don't know. I think that we are lucky in some way. It's true that maybe the best player in the world is [Argentina's Lionel] Messi; the second one is Cristiano [Ronaldo of Portugal]. We don't have either of these two. But we have the third, the fourth, the fifth… We have Andrés [Iniesta], Xavi, etc. This is a good equilibrium. We don't have just one and all the others are kind of not very good. We have all the team at the same quality. This is very good for what you were talking about. The ego. We are a very balanced team, very experienced. This is always positive. We know how to face difficult moments, difficult situations during the game. I think we have a chance. I'm really positive on this one. SI: Your midfield hub, Xavi, is 34 years old now. At that age does he have another high-level World Cup in him? Piqué: Yes. I think he is arriving really good for the World Cup. Obviously for his style of play, he doesn't need to be really strong or really powerful. All he needs is to be focused, concentrated and trying to be at his best in touching the ball quickly, thinking really fast. Xavi is one of the best midfielders in the last decade because he changed a little bit the how to play football. Before, everyone is running and running and running. Xavi never runs. The ball runs; he stays. So he changed a little bit how we play the game. SI: Your coach for Spain, Vicente del Bosque, seems like a very nice man. But he is not a big personality. What's the most interesting thing you can tell me about him? Piqué: I think he is the best coach ever. He won Champions League with Real Madrid twice. He won the World Cup. He won the European Championship. He's won everything with clubs and with the national team. And he is really humble, like a village guy. He's with a team of superstars, and he is really calm. We lost against Switzerland the first game at the World Cup 2010. Everyone was like, "Crap, this is s***." He was like, "Easy, easy, we can qualify." He doesn't want to be a star. He doesn't want to be the focus. He doesn't want to be the protagonist. He wants to stay a little bit away. I think he is a great coach. He understands the football player because he was a player. He knows how to treat a dressing room like this. Planet Futbol Spain will attempt to repeat as World Cup champion, but La Furia Roja must navigate a difficult group just to reach the knockout stage. 2014 World Cup Preview - Group B by Avi Creditor 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More SI: You're from a prominent FC Barcelona family. You became a Barcelona social member at birth. Do you ever want to be president of FC Barcelona? Piqué: Pfft. I don't know. It's too early to think about it. It's true, as you said, Barcelona is my life. Since I was born I am a socio, a member of Fútbol Club Barcelona, and all I want is to be a part of this club for my life. I love football, I love sport and I love this club. Now as a player, in 10 years, you never know. I would like to be involved in the club definitely. SI: I know you're a big NBA fan. Very late at night during the NBA playoffs, I'll be looking at Twitter and Piqué is tweeting about the NBA playoffs… ' Piqué: Because next day is day off [laughs]. I don't have training the next day…. SI: You're a tall guy, 6-foot-4. Do you play basketball? Piqué: When I was young I played all kinds of games. I played football, I played basketball, I played handball. The only thing I didn't play was hockey. I am horrible at that. I was good at basketball, too. Not as good as football, definitely. I liked to play basketball with the basketball players when I was young in school. But football was better for me as a player, and at the same time I prefer, as a sport, football more than basketball. Which is why I went that way. But basketball is a fun sport. NBA, I think, is a great competition and at the same time it's spectacular. I enjoy a lot to watch NBA games. SI: Have you ever tried to do a slam dunk? Piqué: Yes. I try sometimes. We have a net in the dressing room, and sometimes we play some basketball there. SI: So what happens when you try the dunk? Were you able to do it? Piqué: Ah, ah…pfft. [Laughs] I have tried, but it's difficult to do. SI: What's your favorite NBA team? Piqué: I really like the Spurs. I mean, I know they are old. And sometimes you can feel in them that they are too old, and that the season is long for them. Gregg Popovich is doing a great job. He knows how to order the team. Like, sometimes [Tim] Duncan doesn't play or [Tony] Parker doesn't play or [Manu] Ginóbili doesn't play. But the last NBA finals, I think, was amazing. It was one of the best I remember. It's true that Miami has a really, really good team, but I prefer the Spurs. SI: You are one of the rare global superstars whose significant other, Shakira, is also a global superstar. What is that like? Piqué: For me it's kind of normal. It's natural. It's my own life, and I see a normal guy who is in love with a normal woman. The problem is when you see it from the outside. People start to think we are kind of different. Oh wow, they are stars. We are normal people. We go to the cinema. We go with friends to have a meal, or have some dinner. I am trying to live as natural as I can with my son. It's true that sometimes we have paparazzi or some kind of photographers following us, but you have to live normal. I mean if you try to not go to the supermarket or not go to the cinema, you won't live properly and you won't enjoy living. We are trying to be as normal as we can. I think we are enjoying a lot our relationship, and now that we are parents, we are enjoying a lot too with Milan. SI: How did you decide on his name? Piqué: We had a couple, like three, four names. We chose Milan because it was easy to say. In English. In Spanish. Sometimes you chose a Spanish name or an English name, and then in another country it's difficult to pronounce. It's great to be a father. SI: Shakira is very popular in the United States. Her television show, The Voice, is doing very well. How did you guys first meet? Piqué: Just before the World Cup in South Africa 2010. She was doing the Waka Waka song. And she chose me to do the video. I didn't meet her during the video, but with that excuse I met her once in Madrid. Some friend introduced her, and from then on we started to talk, to chat. And, I don't know, it happened. During the World Cup, it's true that one of the motivations was that she was singing in the final. So, I said to my team, "Come on, we have to arrive to the final, so I see her again." [Laughs.] And, we arrived, and I see her again. It was great. SI: She is from Colombia. Colombia is in this World Cup. Piqué: With a good team. SI: Which team will she support if Colombia plays Spain? Piqué: I don't know, to be fair. It's a tough question, and I think you will have to ask her. I hope she will chose Spain, but you never know because it's her country. SI: Obviously, she may be one of the best dancers in the world. Do you ever feel self-conscious when you try to dance with her? Piqué: No, I don't try to dance with her. I don't want to be ridiculed by her. I just try to follow her. She dances, and I just stand next to her trying to dance—because I'm not dancing, but following her. SI: Back to the Spanish national team. Who is the funniest guy on the team? Piqué: The funniest guy? I was really funny when I was young, but not now. When you have a son, you relax. To be fair, Pepe Reina maybe. I think he is the top one. And then like a joker maybe, Jesús Navas. He is a joker. SI: Spain has always had lots of talent, but it never really won anything until 2008. Why is this generation of Spain different? Piqué: Maybe we are more competitive. Before, as you said, Spain has always tried to play well, but maybe we were not as competitive as Italy, Germany or teams like this. They weren't better than us, but they wanted to win always. Like, Italy doesn't play the best game ever, but they are winning in penalties, they are winning in the kind of small things that ultimately decide a game and a competition. I remember in Euro 2008, the quarterfinal against Italy was the first time we beat them in penalties. Maybe that game changed a little bit of history of this country. We always got beat in the quarterfinals. It was such a switch of our history. SI: What else are you interested in away from soccer? Piqué: I really like business. I am trying to do now some kind of food for babies. We are starting now with some ideas. I'm trying to do another startup in the States with some friends there. I like to stay busy. I have a lot of things on my mind. Obviously football is my main thing right now, but in football, you train for to three hours then you have all day for yourself. I really like to think about things like this. SI: Did you study economics for a little while? Piqué: Yes. I studied economics with some teachers from ESADE. It's a really good school here in Spain. They helped me to understand a little about numbers, stats, economics, etc. 2014 World Cup Preview: Group B Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl previews Group B for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and picks his teams and players to watch once play begins.

Held at the Hilton Cairns again, the PFA Conference 2016 created an excellent balance of networking, stimulating forums and social events.
|From the GSA Golf...
|…and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
|…to the Welcome Cocktail Party by the Hilton Poolside...
|…to thought, and question, provoking plenary sessions...
The conference explored the Divergence of property, the value of dichotomy, in which capital market forces and fundamentals tell a different story regarding the value of property. We looked at Disruption, where emerging trends in technology have reshaped the nature of the workplace; consumption and distribution that are impacting the office, retail and industrial property sectors; and crowd sourced funding, which has impacted on the finance sector. The Conference would also not be complete without the White Night Themed Gala Dinner sponsored by One Investment Group and great networking opportunities. Click here to see who came along this year.

The Conrad is in a great location. I stayed here for 11 days on my recent business trip to Singapore. It's a short walk to the marina that has lots of great restaurants and bars. It is also a short taxi ride to clarke quay and orchard road. The hotel staff is respectful and helpful. The door men were always super nice and helped us haul a cab when it was raining and there were no cabs in sight. I am knocking off a point for the rooms. I expected the rooms to have better/newer decor but they were older looking rooms. Otherwise everything else was perfect. I was travelling for business and my company had a special rate with them where we got free breakfast and $20/day in laundry included in our rate. The $20/day for laundry helped!! :)

I'm trying to use xUnit.net as the test runner for SpecFlow. The SpecFlow 1.2 binaries from the official download area don't contain an xUnit.net provider but the master branch on GitHub has one, so I build SpecFlow.Core.dll from that. I'm using xUnit.net 1.5.
However, when I change the unitTestProvider name in the app.config in my spec project, I get a null reference custom tool error and the generated .feature.cs file is the single line:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Has anyone succeeded in getting SpecFlow to work with xUnit.net? If so, how?

Product Description
Thurgood (BD)
Thurgood is the dazzling fusion of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and actor Laurence Fishburne, who demonstrates the kind of charisma he hasn't shown since playing Ike Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It? This filming of Fishburne's one-man Broadway show is half charming character portrait, half wry but galvanizing history lesson. Growing up in the era of racist Jim Crow laws, Marshall had initial ambitions to be a dentist, but constant exposure to injustice led him to the law. He arrived at Howard University as a new dean set out to transform the academy into a top law school. Marshall rose to the challenges he was given and became a lawyer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), turning the "separate but equal" doctrine against the institutions that used it as an excuse to deny black applicants. He repeatedly risked his life fighting for voting rights and individual justice in the South, nearly being lynched at one point. He lost a challenge to segregation at the state level, but pursued it to the Supreme Court, experiencing his greatest moment of truth arguing before the justices--twice. The stage production makes use of lighting effects, sound effects, and projections, but these are mere window-dressing; this powerful story is driven by Fishburne, whose resonant voice, subtle sideways looks, deep humor, and sheer intelligence ably convey the mind of one of the great American jurists. --Bret Fetzer

Those completely new to the concept of a one man show should be aware that this is a piece that is reliant on words and performance. Aside from a couple of props and a creatively used backdrop that sets any particular scene, there is nothing here to watch except for Fishburne. So if you require extravagant production values or excessive visual stimulation, attending or watching a one man show may seem akin to watching grass grow. But if you appreciate engaging and intelligent wordplay and enjoy relevant history or even down home storytelling, it's hard not to be caught up in this delightful presentation. Marshall's life is played through its episodic high points (courtesy of a screenplay by George Stevens Jr.). Some of the film's essential moments include the historic battle of Brown versus The Board of Education, descriptions of the division between state law and constitutional provisions, and the cantankerous Supreme Court years in which judicial appointments evolve with political changes.
"Thurgood" is, ultimately, quite successful in detailing Marshall's career highlights. Personally, however, it is (by necessity and structure) a bit more superficial. References to his home life and his wives are played for pathos and/or humor as the situation dictates, but we never really see that side of Marshall. There are also plenty of comic asides that reference Marshall's wilder side--from drinking to an appreciation of women--that serve as levity points without being explored except as punchlines. But the intent of the piece was not to be a full scale biographical treatment of an entire life--it is an evening with the fictional Marshall as he regales you with his stories interpreted through his voice. As such, it is both informational and entertaining. And really, that's all one could hope for...and all that is needed! KGHarris, 3/11.
I have always complained that a severe problem with American actors is they have never confronted their audience - unlike the British, who spend years performing in the streets, at Shakespeare's old haunts and tiny old theaters. The British practically lay (or jump into) the audience's lap. Americans have no idea what an "audience" is.
In THURGOOD, Lawrence Fishburne, about whom I know little other than he's an actor I love, portrays USSC Justice Thurgood Marshall, a man who was a hero to both me and my father. Hoofing about onstage at the John F. Kennedy Center, before a live audience no more than a few feet from him, Fishburne shoulders this awesome one-man-play film with such cool, studied professionalism, I felt like it was actually Marshall.
But I know all along it is Fishburne and his amazing talent. He begins old, hobbled as I recall Marshall when he announced his retirement. Then Fishburne does the amazing: he ages backward twice, with nothing more (nothing less!) than his skill. Once he ages backward to middle age, then again to about his 30s. At the end, in the space of about ten minutes, he ages back to 'old age'. And he nails Marshall spot-on, voice, gestures, jokes and foul language that were hallmarks I recall very well.
This play mainly covers the story of Marshall's rise to fame in the law, describing his major lifetime accomplishments. It is sadly thin on his Supreme Court years because he did have a habit of simply concurring with Justice Stevens and nothing more. The play is happily thin on gimmickry, but I did not like the music competing with Fishburne's lines.
I loved the way certain photographs were flashed on the giant screen behind Fishburne, but that wasn't overdone, either. It flavored and bolstered the performance. I cannot believe the discipline, the memory and the sheer nerve it takes to do something this powerful and unique. This is not Leonard Nimoy playing Vincent Van Gogh's brother in "Theo". It isn't John Gielgud in his one-man stage film SWAN SONG, but it's darned close.
It is transcends an imaginary night with Thurgood Marshall; it isn't imaginary but it is 100% Fishburne. This is not the sort of thing I like at all. Some of my friends almost killed me for refusing to attend Hal Holbrook's portrayal of Mark Twain back when they brought the show here. I STILL would not go to a thing like that.
Here I am sorry as hell that I missed being at JFK Center to see Lawrence Fishburne - and when you see this, you will be sorry you weren't there either. Marshall once said he'd "live to be 110, then die ... shot by a jealous husband." Fishburne delivers the line flawlessly, and we wish the longevity had been true for Marshall. Certainly for Fishburne, and no doubt for this film.
Get this DVD and always have the next best thing. Remember also that you will be seeing something unique in modern cinema, something I hope we'll see productions companies do a LOT more often.
Howard University auditorium is the location HBO chose to film it and it proved the perfect locale. Fishburne even incorporates a couple of late arrivers to the show into the performance for good effect.
History, humor, humanity and drama blend here in a way you have never seen before and may never seen again. I intend to buy copies to donate to several local schools.
Laurence Fishburne has indeed come a long way from Cornbread, Earl, and Me. He made his mark in his compelling portrayal of a struggling African-American father with fierce integrity in Boyz In the Hood and since then he has more than become the consummate actor. He has maintained an air of integrity around him and his characterizations regardless of the weaknesses seem to possess at the very least a measure of dignity.
This performance can certainly be counted as an accomplishment. Understanding of the world then is made very personal and thus very easy to relate to. Fisburne wonderfully exemplifies Marshall's strengths and poignantly reveals his weaknesses in this intriguing, very informative, difficult, colloquial, sad, and funny one-man show. The wonderful photography and sound effects combine to make for a compelling evening of theater. Fishburne is in his element portraying the very human and ultimately exceptional example of leadership in the fight for civil rights. I was a teenager when Marshall was appointed in the 60s and can assure you it was indeed a VERY tumultuous time. It was eerie trying to celebrate and appreciate the magnitude of this progress while cities were going up in flames all around you.....and on a fairly regular basis.
.....obviously this was far more than an excellent theater production for me.....but isn't this just what good art form is supposed to do?!! :0)
I highly recommend this as not only an excellent one-man show with a tour-de-force performance but as more than a worthy addition to any movie library! It has something to say to ANY disenfranchised community.

Beauty or Beast?: The Woman Warrior in the German Imagination from the Renaissance to the Present (Hardback)Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly
Hardback Published: 17/06/2010
- Can be ordered from our supplier
A regiment of women warriors strides across the battlefield of German culture - on the stage, in the opera house, on the page, and in paintings and prints. These warriors are re-imaginings by men of figures such as the Amazons, the Valkyries, and the biblical killer Judith. They are transgressive and therefore frightening figures who leave their proper female sphere and have to be made safe by being killed, deflowered, or both. This has produced some compelling works of Western culture - Cranach's and Klimt's paintings of Judith, Schiller's Joan of Arc, Hebbel's Judith, Wagner's Brunnhilde, Fritz Lang's Brunhild. Nowadays, representations of the woman warrior are used as a way of thinking about the woman terrorist. Women writers only engage with these imaginings at the end of the 19th century, but from the late 18th century on they begin to imagine fictional cross-dressers going to war in a realistic setting and thus think the unthinkable. What are the roots of these imaginings? And how are they related to Freud's ideas about women's sexuality?
