Prominent linguist and expert on the languages of the Andaman Islands, Anvita Abbi has expressed disappointment with the decision of the Union government to rename three islands of the archipelago.
Ross Island, Neil Island and Havelock Island will be renamed as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, Shaheed Dweep and Swaraj Dweep respectively. The Union Ministry for Home Affairs has completed the formalities for changing the names of the three popular islands.
The forefront of the drive to rechristen islands in the archipelago with names given to them by indigenous peoples like the Great Andamanese, Jarawa, Onge, Shompen and Nicobarese.
The island be renamed to 'Thilarsiro' (literally meaning 'island of turtles' in the Great Andamanese language).
The names of the Havelock ('Thilarsiro') and Neil ('Tebishiro' meaning 'shores of the open sea') Islands besides a number of others as they are known by the Great Andamanese.
Havelock Island is named after Major General Henry Havelock and Neil Island after Brigadier General James Neill, both of whom were top-ranking officers in the army of the British East India Company during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Both allegedly committed the worst military excesses against the native Indian population during the Mutiny, especially during the bid to take back cities in the United Provinces including Allahabad, Kanpur and Lucknow.


If you've ever had popovers, you may agree with me on the fact that they are both addicting and adorable! These light and airy bread rolls make a delicious starter or side and definitely draw interest due to their unique cloud-like corky shape.
The possibilities are endless with the flavors you can incorporate with the egg based popover batter. Herbs, spices and cheeses make a savory taste for lunch or dinner while sugar and lemon zest make this creation a sweeter base for breakfast or afternoon tea.
I'm serving these as part of my Easter Brunch spread for my family this year. If you'd like to do the same, you will be excited to know that you can prepare everything ahead of time and all there will be left to do is assemble the little beauties before serving. The popovers can be prepared and stored in an airtight container and the cream filling stored in the refrigerator. I fill my piping bag ahead of time and refrigerate it to make the assembling process even quicker.
Popovers are super easy to make, but I'd like to share a few tips to ensure that they are perfect. First things first, do not over mix the batter, just blend until smooth and bubbly. A blender or hand mixer will help you achieve this. Second, bring the batter to room temperature before baking. You can prepare the batter the night before to make the morning of for fresh out of the oven popovers. The house will smell wonderful. Just let the batter sit out for about one hour. Lastly, be sure to preheat the buttered popover pans. The popovers like a hot oven and hot pan. The rest is cake! You will enjoy making them and will fall in love with this breakfast meets dessert concoction.
Breakfast meets dessert with this unique creation that will make you wonder why you don't have dessert for breakfast more often!
Blend the eggs and milk in a blender until combined. Add flour, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium pitcher and mix in lemon zest. Set aside and bring to room temperature, about 30-45 minutes.
Prepare Mascarpone Cheese Whipped Cream Filling: Place all ingredients for the filling in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Begin whisking on low speed then quickly increase to high speed and whisk until thickened and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Use immediately or store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.
Fill cooled popovers with filling, (option to use piping bag) top with berries, sifted powdered sugar and serve with warmed maple syrup.

'We've been waiting so long': Eager parents bring kids to Lexington vaccine clinic
One week after the federal government authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in children five to eleven years old, the Redwood Cooperative School in Lexington held a vaccine clinic for students and their families.
Posted at 11:07 PM, Nov 08, 2021
LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — One week after the federal government authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in children five to eleven years old, the Redwood Cooperative School in Lexington held a vaccine clinic for students and their families.
"I cried the minute I heard that it had been approved for kids," said Autumn Dmytrewycz, a parent and board member at Redwood. "We've been waiting so long for this."
By the end of the clinic, 128 vaccines had been given. 101 pediatric doses were administered to five to 11-year-olds.
Sarah Cummins, the Head of School at Redwood, said the clinic was established with the help of Wild Health. While it was originally designed for the school's students, Cummins said they later allowed some families from the broader community to book appointments.
"They first opened a certain number of spots for our five to eleven year age group, and it filled up within an hour," Cummins said.
Cummins said the demand has been so high that Wild Health agreed to return next week to vaccinate more kids.
LEX 18 spoke to parents and kids before and after their appointments. Their smiles were hard to hide--even under their masks.
"I feel like as a family, we're all heading in the right direction," said Erin Barker, whose two sons received their first shots Monday.
Most of the students who spoke with LEX 18 admitted they were nervous before getting their shots but that the actual injection did not hurt.
"It seemed like it was going to be painful," said six-year-old Lior. "But it actually felt like a gentle pinch."
Cummins said she was proud of her students.
"We have a few tears," Cummins said. "But everyone is being super brave, and they know it's okay to be scared, and it's okay to have big feelings."
"Sometimes we do the hard things," Cummins continued. "But we can do hard things, and they're all here getting it done."

After 3 dengue cases were acquired in Key West, Florida, we conducted a serosurvey to determine the scope of the outbreak. Thirteen residents showed recent infection (infection rate 5%; 90% CI 2%-8%), demonstrating the reemergence of dengue in Florida. Increased awareness of dengue among health care providers is needed.


For France, 2014 marks not just the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, but the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy and the liberation of Paris after four years of Nazi occupation. Yet while the centenary of the First World War has been marked by consensus among historians and the wider community, the Second World War remains a subject of contestation.
Matthew Cobb's Eleven Days in August largely circumvents the controversy by focusing not on the politics of the occupation, collaboration and resistance, but upon the experiences of ordinary Parisians in the days leading up to the liberation of the French capital. Where more recent historical research has sought to shift the focus to other areas of the country and to the French colonial empire, Cobb puts forward a case for the significance of the capital as a political symbol. Cobb argues that the struggle for Paris was a three-way battle for the future of France, between the allies, the Free French and the resistance, each having their own vision for the future. The liberation of Paris therefore played a decisive role in determining the shape of post-war France.
The book is a narrative history, and as such, its strength rests heavily on the story and the available material. Fortunately, Cobb has rich pickings, especially from the many first-hand accounts by participants and witnesses. Where the academic historian writing for an academic audience might mine these accounts for insights into the political machinations, military developments or social shifts, Cobb's focus is on telling the story in a way that engages and enlightens the reader. Cobb writes with a compelling fluency and an eye for vivid detail. In one of many memorable descriptions, Cobb describes the so-called 'passive collaborators' as 'human dust that could be blown away by events' (p. 5).
Cobb skilfully weaves together unconnected events happening simultaneously across the city, drawing upon a wide range of accounts. The sudden jumps and interruptions in the narrative give a sense of the complexity of the situation and how the path to liberation in August 1944 was far from inevitable and without immense risks. Despite resistance activities picking up pace in mid-August 1944, in some parts of the city, the deportation of the Jews and members of the resistance captured by the Gestapo continued.
One of the key myths about the liberation, which still holds sway in public memories and in some historical works, is that General von Choltitz, the military commander of occupied Paris, 'saved' the city from destruction by the Nazis. After the war, von Choltitz claimed that he did not destroy Paris, but did not mention that he did not have the means to do so even if he had wished to. His version of events got international attention in the 1965 book Is Paris Burning? by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, and in the film of the same name a year later. Cobb demolishes this suggestion, pointing out that Hitler chose von Choltitz to defend Paris precisely because he trusted him to carry out orders. Indeed, he had proven himself reliable when he implemented orders to liquidate the Jews in Crimea between 1941 and 1942.
Keeping a lid on the increasingly impatient and fractious resistance in Paris was a cause of considerable concern in the days leading up to the arrival of the allied forces. One of the biggest fears for resistance leaders was that premature action by Parisian insurgents might trigger the same bloody repression as the Warsaw uprising. For de Gaulle, it was also a critically important political matter. Seeking to prevent an uprising outside his political control was not just a manifestation of de Gaulle's imperious character, but was driven by a determination that the liberation of Paris should not be hijacked by Communists seeking a political and social revolution. The Communist Francs-tireurs et partisans (FTP) were increasingly frustrated at de Gaulle's orders to await the arrival of the allies, having issued a call to arms in early August 1944. For all de Gaulle's fears, however, Cobb argues that the FTP were not a revolutionary threat; they accepted the leadership of de Gaulle, had insufficient weapons to act alone and did not have the support of the majority of Parisians.
Cobb argues that the collapse of the German occupation of France began in earnest not with the D-Day landings in Normandy but with the allied landings in Provence on 15 August. For all the criticism that might be levelled at de Gaulle's leadership style and policies, he undoubtedly exerted significant pressure on the allied military leadership. As late as 16 August, the allies still had no plans to liberate Paris, intending instead to circumvent the city which they considered to have no strategic value. It was not merely the political symbolism of the capital that made its liberation so important but the mounting dangers of delaying action. Each day that passed was another day that the resistance leaders had to hold off an insurrection. Yet as the mobilisation of men into the Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur (FFI) and the militias stepped up, so did the repression. 42 young members of the resistance were captured and murdered by the Gestapo, including 34 in the Bois de Boulogne.
The lack of weapons held by the resistance meant that the liberation of Paris remained inextricably bound up with the progress of the allies on the western front. By the night of 17 August, the German administration had abandoned the city, taking anti-aircraft guns with them. German forces had been pushed back from the north-east of France, leaving Paris at the front line of the fighting. Yet despite the German army deciding not to defend Paris, von Choltitz maintained a tough stance, ordering that if his men were fired upon, they would kill all the residents in the area of the attack.
While the resistance leadership in Paris argued over politics, they found themselves out of touch not just with the allies but with their own rank and file as well. As the Comité Parisien de la Libération and the Conseil National de la Résistance (CNR) were meeting to discuss when to launch an insurrection, they saw a tricolour flag being raised over the Ministry of Education. Events had, quite simply, overtaken them. Yet disagreements within the resistance mattered: any division or appearance of division risked tipping France towards a civil war and risked the allies imposing a humiliating allied military government (AMGOT) on France. When de Gaulle arrived in France on 20 August, Eisenhower was still insisting that the allies bypass Paris to avoid unnecessary damage and deaths. But de Gaulle maintained that the resistance could not simply be left to fight alone.
Despite the allies remaining non-committal about entering Paris, on the night of 22 August, the resistance broadcast an appeal for insurrection. The following day, Hitler ordered Choltitz not to surrender Paris unless it had been destroyed. Wild rumours abounded that German bombs had been hidden across the city, including in the sewers. Yet as Choltitz held the telephone receiver out of the window so that his superior officers in Germany could hear the bells sounding the liberation, he was given no orders to defend it. In reality, none of the Germans, including Hitler, thought that Paris was so strategically significant that it had to be destroyed.
Throughout the war, de Gaulle had maintained that the Vichy government held no legitimacy and that he and the Free French were the only true representations of France. De Gaulle therefore refused to follow historical tradition and make a declaration of the Republic from the Hôtel de Ville, maintaining that it had never ceased to exist. The domineering demeanour that de Gaulle had used to great effect politically transferred less graciously to his first encounters with the men and women whose sacrifices had helped him to take power. He alone decided to hold a triumphal march through the ecstatic Parisian crowds. And while he may have been in modest dress uniform without any medals, he orchestrated the event to cement his leadership. His now famous speech of 25 August not only downplayed the role of the allies, but failed to acknowledge the contribution of the resistance to the liberation of Paris as well. In a further blow to the resistance leaders, shortly afterwards, de Gaulle informed the secretary-generals who had been running government departments since the liberation that they would not be part of the new government. Seeking to demonstrate the legitimacy of his government to the allies, de Gaulle wanted to present an image of continuity, as if the Vichy regime had never existed.
Ultimately, Cobb justifies his approach by arguing that the liberation was about ordinary Parisians who rose up against the German occupiers and helped create the circumstances that allowed the allies to pursue their policy of going around Paris. Parisians did not liberate the city single-handedly, Cobb argues, but their courage and sacrifice transformed the situation. Knowing that the allies were advancing gave them the confidence to act. But theirs was more than a military victory: Cobb finishes by quoting the British Government wartime publication Cadran: 'by liberating themselves, the Parisians showed the world that the soul of a people is invincible' (p. 367).
The fact that Cobb is not an academic historian, but a Professor of Zoology at the University of Manchester perhaps gives his writing greater freedom and his genuine fascination with the subject is evident throughout. While the book is aimed at a general audience, Cobb has approached his subject with academic rigour. It is meticulously researched, engaging with a range of French, British and American archival sources, as well as numerous first-hand accounts and secondary works.(5) The book does not claim to be a comprehensive study of the liberation of Paris, and in this sense, the narrative needs to be set into the wider context of the history of the resistance, the occupation of Paris and the process by which de Gaulle became the head of the French Provisional Government. Yet Cobb's book breathes new life into a familiar episode in France's history, evoking the tragedy, chaos and extraordinary challenges faced by the people of a city so profoundly shaped by its tumultuous past.

Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!: Shark decapitated. Oh buoy!
The shark wars have certainly been pretty intense over here in the wild west from time to time. But lately, aside from the occasional group shriek and placard rattle from the local Carcharodon cuddlers there haven't been any major new developments. Until now that is.
See, down south at a charming little beach called Meelup a shark's severed head has been discovered stuck on a buoy.
No doubt many Gaia-worshipping activists will be brimming with lefteous indignation over this brazen act of ichthyophobic barbarism. Hell, some of them'll be so upset they'll prolly even drop their bongs and forget to lodge their dole forms.
That's kinda funny, and sad. Whenever they hear of the latest human beheading in the name of Islam most deep green socialists are like, "Meh." And if they are at all upset about it the next step is to assiduously avoid the, er, caliphant in the room and blame the bad ol' USA, Rupert Murdoch, or even Tony Abbott.
Which leads me to the probable identity of the head lopper in this particular case: The obvious choice would be a local surfer or fisherman who takes pleasure in riling shark-huggers.
But given the watery killing's unique and disturbing modus operandi, there's another less likely but still possible explanation. It might just be the first strike in a new campaign by Islamic State. Tired of battling for lands lost long ago, have they decided to defiantly claim the oceans as their own and rid the depths of infidels?
Remember that these people are crazy enough to kill you over a cartoon, and believe they'll be rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven if they blow themselves to smithereens in a crowded cafe. When you're that flat out, howling at the moon insane anything's possible, isn't it?
Frankly, I'll be quite relieved if this is the case. More dead sea fauna means less dead land people. And it will be nice to have the greenies on our side for once -- even if it's only 'cause they believe "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Islamic State flag lodged in floating, decapitated sea cow carcass. Oh the hu-manatee!
Any others you'd like to suggest?

Open Satellite Project
"The final goal is to have a generic satellite receiver that is easy to configure to a new satellite or protocol," project originator Lucas Teske explains of the Open Satellite Project and its open-source weather satellite software.
Developer Lucas Teske has a very clear reason for having started the Open Satellite Project, an ongoing effort to develop open-source software for the receipt and decoding of satellite data using software-defined radio (SDR) hardware including the LimeSDR family. "I have studied electronics and computing since I was two years old, and one day, a few years ago, I saw that I could receive weather satellite images at home. That's where it all started. They're signals from space," he explains of his fascination with the concept. "Images from satellites are always amazing. But to know that there is something up in the sky that is sending something back and to actually see the signal that is coming and its content, its a totally different thing. It's amazing to receive and decode stuff, even if the output data isn't very useful."
Existing Software "Closed-Source, or Broken"
While Teske, and the other contributors to the Open Satellite Project, aren't alone in their quest to receive these signals from space, open-source software to support his new-found hobby proved thin on the ground. "Most of the software when I started a few years ago, decoding GOES 13 [US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 13], was either closed-source or broken," he recalls. "The documentation of the LRIT [Low Rate Information Transmission] specification – the GOES 13 protocol – was very bad, and sometimes incomplete. Also, some of the available DSP [Digital Signal Processing] stuff wasn't working correctly for GOES 13."
This discontent with the nature of existing satellite reception software led to the formation of the Open Satellite Project. "It's both a project to learn DSP [Digital Signal Processing], SDR [Software Defined Radio], and satellite stuff, and also a platform to develop new receivers," Teske explains. "It's currently focused on weather satellites, which have very little stuff on the internet – especially open source stuff – and which generate amazing outputs. The final goal is to have a generic satellite receiver that is easy to configure to a new satellite or protocol."
Community response to the project, which is fully open and allows distributed development via its GitHub repository, has been fantastic, Teske explains. "The most impressive thing was that after I created the OSP Rocket.Chat [team chatroom server] and started working on GRB Dump – the parser for the GRB [GOES Rebroadcast] protocol from GOES 16 – some people were contributing with code, hardware, and testing. A few months ago, when my depression kicked hard, I had to take a time from all my projects, and when I came back there were HUGE improvements in GRB Dump. That's probably the most satisfying feeling we can get: that the project can keep going."
While the primary output of weather satellites tends to be full-disk images capturing a third of the Earth's surface at a time across multiple light spectra, other data can also be found: higher-resolution shots of areas of interest, particularly when there are storms, text messages, and even distress signals can be received from weather satellites including the GOES constellation.
With input from the community, Teske has a clear roadmap for the Open Satellite Project's future development. "The main goal now is to have a single application that does everything," he explains. "So far OSP has several parts, which makes it somewhat hard to set up. We're rewriting the main application – now called SatHelperApp – in Go which helps a lot in making it cross platform and easy to use. We also want to lower the costs of building a GRB station, which provides the best images you can ever get from a satellite from the current generation – and also images from the Sun! The idea is to have a simple app that anyone could just download, follow some instructions for assembling the hardware, and get everything working, even if they don't have any technical skill for it."
For those interested in getting started with the project, Teske has some advice. "There are several ways to get involved," he explains. "The easiest one might be build a Receiver Station – for which the OSP tutorial itself is a work in progress, but Pieter Noordhuis has a nice tutorial of creating a GOES station, he has a really great hardware setup and nice piece of software that he made out of studying OSP.
"Another way to started with the software would be to get I/Q samples," Teske adds. "I share some of them in my blog, and there are some people in the OSP community that would happily provide them too. With I/Q samples you can run all the software to test or improve without having a physical satellite receiver or SDR. You can also join the OSP Rocket.Chat and/or #hearsat on StarChat IRC to talk about ideas for OSP. It does not necessarily need to be technical. Most of the helpful stuff that people did was to create tutorials about setup, testing, etc."
More information on the Open Satellite Project can be found on the GitHub repository, where the software is made available under the MIT Licence.

Abandoned Park Place Hotel set for demolition
Editors note: The lede to this story is somewhat hyperbolic. City officials stressed that the blast zone will be roughly 2,000 feet, which equates to a little less than half a mile. The likelihood of the blast being felt or heard outside the 2,000-foot perimeter is slim.
By Michael Bushnell
On the morning of Sunday, June 24th, between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., residents of Northeast will hear a large explosion, the earth will shake a little bit, and a large plume of dust and smoke will fill the air, signaling the end of the line for the hulking Park Place Hotel.
Located near Front Street and Universal in the Executive Park area of the East Bottoms, Park Place was built in stages between 1974 and 1978. The hotel was originally called the Breckenridge Inn at Executive Park. Upon the completion of its second phase, the hotel featured 328 guest rooms, upscale restaurant and banquet facilities, a health and tennis club and an indoor-outdoor swimming pool. At the time of completion, it was the 11th largest hotel in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
The hotel maintained its standing in the area through the late 1990s, but a series of ownership and name changes ultimately spelled doom for the once-upscale facility. It ultimately closed in 2013, becoming a magnet for crime activity. In November of 2016 a man believed to be a transient was found at the bottom of an elevator shaft of the abandoned hotel. Over the past 18 months, KCFD crews have responded to the address a number of times – most recently in March of 2018 when fire was discovered on the 5th or 6th floor of the South Tower.
The demolition is welcome news to business residents of the Executive Park area. Mark Felton with True North Real Estate – and outgoing President of the Northeast Industrial Association – expressed relief that the cancer on their business community would finally be relieved.
"Since the place went abandoned, It's just been one problem after another with crime, petty theft and scrappers that holed up inside the place," Felton said. "We're indebted to City Manager Troy Schulte and KCPD Community Interaction Officer Jason Cooley for shepherding the process and finally getting it taken down."
John Baccala, Communications/Community Liaison with the KCMO Neighborhoods and Housing Services Department, said that in-person visits by City staff will be accompanied by letters mailed to property owners and businesses in the area, notifying them of the demolition.
"We want to make sure everybody in the area is notified so that they can take preemptive action with their HVAC and air handling systems, given the amount of dust the implosion will create," Baccala said.
The Sunday morning demolition will take place between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Traffic on Interstate 435 will shut down at approximately 7:30 am between M-210 on the north and US-24 Highway (Independence Avenue) on the South. Front Street will remain open but Universal Avenue north of Front Street will also close to Traffic at 7:30 a.m.
Industrial Salvage and Wrecking, the company awarded the demolition contract, is coordinating all of the details of the demolition. That includes working with Controlled Demolition Incorporated (CDI), the company responsible for the actual implosion of the structure. CDI has been responsible for high-profile demolitions all over the world, including the Landmark Hotel in Las Vegas and the Kingdome, the former home of the Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, and Supersonics. Locally, CDI handled the last demolition event of this magnitude: when the Sears Catalog Warehouse at Truman Rd. and Cleveland Ave. was imploded on June 1, 1997.
Industrial Salvage and Wrecking will drill 2,200 holes in the hotel to aid the implosion. The company is currently making final preparations for the June 24 demolition.
"We've spent the last 30 days taking out walls and drilling holes for the implosion," said Chuck Cacioppo, Principal at Industrial Salvage and Wrecking. "We've also been working closely with the city's Dangerous Buildings Department, The Police Department, the Missouri Highway Patrol and MoDOT on all the road closures."

Wappen

Bei dem von den Musketieren getragenen Wappen (beispielsweise auf dem Oberarmschutz des Waffenarms) handelt es sich nicht um die Fleur-de-Lys (französische Lilie), wie sie auf dem Wappen des französischen Königs Louis XIII.  zu finden war und sie heute noch im Stadtwappen von Paris benutzt wird, sondern um die feiner ausgeprägte Form des Florentiner  Wappens mit ihren Staubfäden und den gewellten Enden.

What was Your Weirdest Meal?
I stumbled across this article on people discussing the oddest items they have ever consumed. The guinea pig really sticks out for me. The insects not as much with what is aired on TV these days. 😀 What was the oddest meal you have ever consumed?
When I though about my own experiences, it wasn't too out there. I guess venison would be the most exotic turf meal for myself.

And The Winner ISN'T: The Biggest Tony Awards Upsets In History (PART ONE)
by Jeremy Scott Blaustein April 15, 2019, 1:11 pm 12.7k Views
Did you ever have a day that didn't turn out the way you'd expected?
You're all dressed up for your big night. For months now you've been the talk of the town. The critics love you; the audiences love you, the nominators love you. You already won the Drama Desk a few weeks back, and tonight your show is nominated for more Tony Awards than anything else in the season. Everyone your parents have ever talked to are watching. You deserve this. Truly, you do. And you look mah-velous! Finally, they get to your category. When the presenter says your name on the list of nominees, your date squeezes your hand — one last vote of confidence, "You got this, babe! I believe in you." The envelope is torn. And…
… they call someone else's name.
I can tell you from personal experience: not winning is a miserable sensation. And it's especially painful when everybody said you would. But, hey, that's showbiz. Here are a couple of instances throughout Tony Awards history when people got robbed.
They deserved better. Here are their stories…
1. Best Musical: "Dreamgirls" vs. "Nine", 1982
Of the four musicals nominated in 1982, only two actually deserved to win. Those were "Nine" and "Dreamgirls". The also-rans that season were the cloyingly twee "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and the obscure honkytonk longshot "Pump Boys and Dinettes." For the majority of that season, however, "Dreamgirls" had dominated the landscape. The show was a big hit for its producers, The Shubert Organization. Jennifer Holliday's bombastic turn as Effie White was not to be missed. The show's director and choreographer Michael Bennett ("A Chorus Line") had delivered a seamlessly slick production with an unrelenting drive. The show was dynamite.
Then, on the very last day of Tony eligibility, a new competitor arrived. The Nederlander Organization (longstanding rivals of the Shuberts) had opened "Nine", an intimate musical based on the Frederico Fellini film "8 ½." The show had practically materialized from thin air. But, man, was it was captivating… and styled with artful restraint by director Tommy Tune. To be frank, "Nine" was downright sexy. Those assets earned the show 12 Tony nominations. "Dreamgirls" earned 13.
On Tony night, the race was neck-and-neck going into the final lap. For Best Director, Tommy Tune (of "Nine") beat Michael Bennett (of "Dreamgirls"). In an equitable turn, Bennett was consoled by beating Tune for Best Choreography. The presenter for the Best Musical category that year was Lena Horne. "I hope I can read this without my glasses," she chuckled while tearing at the envelope. "The winner is… NINE!" The audience was SHOCKED. The next morning in The New York Times, columnist Carol Lawson said, "The producers of ''Nine' were jubilant as their show beat out 'Dreamgirls,' the lavish musical unofficially based on the rise of the Supremes. For most of the season, which was a particularly weak one for musicals, 'Dreamgirls' had no strong competition for the year's awards. But all that changed when 'Nine' opened a month ago…" In the end, "Dreamgirls" won 6 Tony Awards — including one for Jennifer Holliday — while "Nine" won five. But one of those five was Best Musical, and that's really the one that matters.
PS: If you want to know more about this fascinating story, I highly recommend Michael Reidel's book "Razzle Dazzle." I couldn't put it down!
2. Best Musical: "Two Gentlemen of Verona" vs. "Follies", 1972
Look, a lot of people like to crap all over "Two Gentlemen of Verona." But I'm here to tell you: they're wrong. Well, for the most part. No one can deny that the show has a catchy score; it's tuneful and lively, full of sass and brass. The show's composer Galt MacDermott ("HAIR") said his inspiration for its sound was walking down Broadway on a nice day and hearing every kind of music pour out of open windows. The result was an eclecticism that warms like auditory sunshine.
Now, originally that production started out at Shakespeare in the Park. Then after receiving positive notices, it picked up its duds and legitimized itself on a Broadway stage. A STELLAR review from the Times established it as the one to see in 1972. Clive Barnes declared, "Love is in bloom and back in style. It has a surge of youth to it, at times an almost carnal intimation of sexuality, and a boisterous sense of love. It is precisely this that the new musical catches and makes its own."
Meanwhile, it's major competition wasn't proving to be so accessible. Word around town pegged "Follies" as more of an accomplishment than an entertainment — sort of like a worthy experiment that mostly paid off, even if it was a chore to read the scientist's findings. Critic Walter Kerr didn't seem to know what to make of it. The first paragraph of his review called it "exhausting," and "tedious." But then by paragraph five he said it was a "huge entertainment." Still, despite his indecision, the Tony nominations favored "Follies" with 12 and "Two Gentlemen" with only 9.
On the big night, "Follies" had nearly a clean sweep. It took home awards for direction, choreography, lighting, scenery, costumes, score, and for actress Alexis Smith. The only award "Two Gentlemen" won was for Best Book of a Musical (John Guare & Mel Shapiro). That's why it was such a shock when "Two Gentlemen" took Best Musical. And what a night it must have been for its producer (and founder of the Public Theater), Joe Papp. Not only had Papp produced "Two Gentlemen" — that year's Best Musical — but he had also produced that year's Best Play — "Sticks and Bones" by David Rabe.
However, history seems to have revised this decision. Since losing the Tony, "Follies" has received two major revivals on Broadway. Meanwhile, any and all attempts at "Two Gentlemen" have fizzled in the rain.
So, what were the factors that led to this upset? Well, for starters, the prior year "Company" had dominated the awards. "Follies" was another effort by the same collaborators as "Company", Stephen Sondheim and Hal Prince. This year's experiment yielded similar results and the voters wanted to support variety. Also, the other big Galt MacDermott show "HAIR" had been ahead of its time and, therefore, didn't win in its respective year. So, it is possible that this award for "Two Gentlemen" was an act of self-validation by the voters. It was as if to say, "See, we're with hip! We're with it… now!"
Personally, though, I think voters were blinded by "Two Gentlemen's" pure sunshine of a score. Anyway, it sure beats a lot better than "Follies" callused and withered heart.
3. Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical: Idina Menzel vs. Tonya Pinkins, 2004
It's not easy being green. In fact, according to Ben Brantley of The New York Times, it's a lot easier being pink. At least it is when you're Kristin Chenoweth (read: popular). Mind you, Brantley always has been a worshipper of KC. But his review for "Wicked" officially lit the candle at her altar. He even went so far as to declare her the show's one saving grace. "Be grateful," he said, "very grateful, that Ms. Chenoweth, who spent a brief exile in the land of sitcoms, has returned to the stage. She provides the essential helium in a bloated production that might otherwise spend close to three hours flapping its oversized wings without taking off… Yet it's hard to avoid the impression that whenever Ms. Chenoweth leaves the stage, 'Wicked' loses its wit."
Needless to say, he didn't find Idina Menzel to be nearly as appealing. He barely got around to mentioning her before circling back to Kristen. As he put it, "The talented Ms. Menzel will no doubt dazzle audience members whose musical tastes run to soft-rock stations. But for aficionados of the American musical, it's Ms. Chenoweth who's the real thing, melding decades of performing traditions into something shiny and new. 'Wicked' does not, alas, speak hopefully for the future of the Broadway musical. Ms. Chenoweth, on the other hand, definitely does."
To add insult to injury, it was ruled by the Tony nominating committee (who were likely solicited by the show's producers) that both Idina and Kristen would be eligible to compete in the same category — Leading Actress in a Musical. When they were both nominated in that category, it was impossible to think their onstage rivalry didn't bleed into the wings.
During the campaign, Menzel did have a slight advantage; Chenoweth had already won a Tony for "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and, let's face it, Elphaba does way more heavy lifting in "Wicked". Anyway, most voters thought that the two "Wicked" actresses would split the vote and, therefore, neither would win. That made the front-runner Tonya Pinkins. She was nominated for her breathtaking performance in "Caroline, or Change." Pinkins had won previously in 1992 for "Jelly's Last Jam" and a lot of people were saying she deserved it again. She was MESMERIZING as Caroline, the put-upon maid to a Jewish family in a haunting little show about race relations in the 1960s. Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times wrote of Pinkins, "If you needed no other reason to see ['Caroline, or Change'], Tonya Pinkins' understated, nuanced performance would supply it. Hers will, I hope, one day be remembered as a Broadway classic for its ability to balance smoldering anger with radiance."
Alas, come Tony night, it was Menzel took home the trophy — in which case Pinkins and Chenoweth were the ones turning green.
4. Best Musical: "Wicked" vs. "Avenue Q", 2004
If there was an award to be given for "Biggest Tony Award Upset in History," this would easily win. By the time the Tonys finally rolled around in 2004, the statues had practically been engraved for "Wicked." And, why not? The show was unstoppable. It was a critic-proof juggernaut. Its word-of-mouth was golden, as were its ticket sales (then and in the 15+ years since). When an informal poll was given among Tony voters by The New York Times, the consensus was that "Wicked" would definitely win. But then some naughty puppets got in the way.
The producing office for "Avenue Q" waged an all-out war against its competition. They ran an ingenious campaign encouraging people to, "Vote Your Heart." They took out full-page newspaper ads and held a pizza party for out-of-town voters. They even distributed CD's with a new song titled "Rod's Dilemma." The song features the entire cast of the show all helping Rod determine how to cast his vote for the new Rotary Club president ("Why not vote for the person who deserves it?"). Promotional buttons for "Q" were distributed at the theater. They even decorated the box office like a campaign headquarters. In total, the effort cost producers around $300,000. And, believe it or not, it worked.
Over the course of the evening, "Avenue Q" won 3 Tony Awards: Best Book/Lyrics, Best Original Score, and Best Musical. These 3 awards are the trifecta; they're the most important for a new musical to win. "Wicked", on the other hand, won for Idina Menzel, Best Scenic Design, and Best Costumes. Consequently, "Wicked" director Joe Mantello also won that night, but for his work on "Assassins."
Still, if I had the retrospective choice between investing in "Avenue Q" and investing in "Wicked," my green would be on green — Tonys be dammed. During its run at the Golden Theater before transferring Off-Broadway, "Avenue Q" took in a respectable cumulative gross of $121,918,918. Meanwhile, "Wicked" has earned $1,276,318,914 counting. Fly high, you wicked witches!

Are you interested in learning enough about wines that you could hold your own in conversation? Learning about wine can be a great way to impress your friends, with your new found expertise. Maybe you're wondering what the right wine is to pair with a meal you're cooking. Either way, read on to find out how to bring it to fruition.
Pinot Grigio goes beautifully with seafood. The wine brings out the amazing flavor of seafood and vice versa. Ocean dishes are also complemented by other white wines. White wine paired with seafood can be heavenly.
You can make a wine sauce for beef dishes. To make this sauce, just mix red wine with a little bit of butter in a saucepan. Simmer, reduce and allow it to thicken. Then, drizzle lightly over your beef entree.
Don't be intimidated by wine discussions online, especially in a wine forum. There are some great ones out there, and they are a wonderful place to interact with others and get ideas on which wines are worth exploring. Before registering, look around and find out if the community is a good fit for you.
Get creative when purchasing wine. Sampling a wine is one of the best — not to mention tastiest — ways to learn about a country or winery. Take your time to check out the differences in the wines available. This is the best way to find a new delicious wine.
White wine does not have to be cool to taste good. Not all white wines have similar textures, meaning some are served better at different temperatures. Sauvignon blanc tastes best cold, but chardonnay and pinot gris are best served a little warmer.
Lots of people like to have a drink after their dinner, and dessert wines can be ideal. There are many dessert wines including California Port, Italian Moscato and French Champagne. Your party guests are sure to love the relaxing ambiance that sipping wine can bring.
When you taste a wine, start by slightly leaning the glass in order to see the wine's color. Swirl your glass and breathe in to smell the fragrant aromas of the wine. Now sip a bit of your wine, roll it on your tongue and then spit it out.
If you are tasting a new wine, make sure you isolate all the aromas and tastes of it. You are likely to notice fruit and floral aromas. You may also notice secondary notes including smoke, honey or chocolate. Be aware of these various scents and you will get better at distinguishing them.
If you want to taste wine, make sure you call ahead and ascertain whether reservations are required. It's often believed that reservations aren't needed at many of these public tastings, but that isn't the case. You might be turned away from the event without a reservation.
Pinot Noir is always a good choice when it comes to wine. Red in color, a Pinot Noir can be paired with a lot of different foods. This is because it is not strong in flavor. Its taste falls nearly in the center of the wine taste spectrum. That makes it a safe choice if you are not sure what to serve.
With all you've now learned about wine, it's obvious how much it's now going to help you. Take the information you learned here and seek out more information to learn even more about wines. Everyone you know or meet from friends, family or even dates will be impressed with your new knowledge.
