BWW Review: Playhouse's MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL Comes 'Home'
by Joseph Baker - May 9, 2016
When Director and Co-Choreographer Jordan Nichols first saw and enjoyed MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL, he knew that he just had to stage a production in the city itself; as polished and entertaining as it was, it needed just a little something . . . 'an infusion of Memphis grit.' In Playhouse on the Square's powerful, pulsating production of the musical, he has achieved just that. Memphians are very proud and protective of their musical heritage, and though originators Joe DiPietro and David Bryan have not attempted to portray real persons and events, their knowledge of the early 'rock and roll' era and its personalities has resulted in a satisfying approximation. Having few musical gifts outside a kazoo, I could nonetheless play 'Six Degrees of Elvis Presley' with some confidence: My third cousin was Bill Black, bassist for Elvis Presley in those early days; and my first cousin's brother-in-law was cult rockabilly musician Charlie Feathers ('Tongue-tied Jill'). I remember enjoying disc jockey Dewey Phillips (on whom MEMPHIS protagonist 'Huey Calhoun' is based) and his outsized personality, and anyone with any knowledge of Sun Studios and the early careers of Jerry Lee Lewis (who shocked an older generation with his marriage to a younger cousin), Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley know that these artists came from humble ('cracker,' in the play) beginnings. These icons always acknowledged their debt to black gospel and blues musicians. All of that, together with racism and interracial relationships, surfaces in MEMPHIS. (more...)

BWW Review: RING OF FIRE, Johnny Cash Jukebox Musical, Delights at Porthouse
by Roy Berko - Jul 11, 2016
Johnny Cash, 'The Man in Black,' was noted as a somber singer of such songs as 'I Walk the Line,' 'If I Were a Carpenter,' and 'Ring of Fire.' The latter was chosen as the title for Richard Maltby, Jr.'s jukebox musical, now on stage at Porthouse Theatre, which loosely centers on the trials and tribulations of Cash's life. While not autobiographical, per se, there is enough of the tale of the man to gain an understanding of Cash, his music, his strong belief in social causes, and his personal problems. (more...)

Landers: Land Trust hits 15,000 acre milestone
Trust is the operative word in the name of a nonprofit group that's helping make the region a better place for fish, wildlife and people.
"We work with landowners and sometimes it takes years before they're ready to make decisions on the future of their property," said Chris DeForest, executive director for the Inland Northwest Land Trust (inlandnwlandtrust .org).
The nonprofit group, founded in 1991, closed on two agreements last week to hit the milestone of 15,000 acres of private land preserved in conservation easements on 47 properties.
"That 15,000 might sound like a drop in the bucket," he said, "but it's a very important drop."
Five white-tailed deer flashed their namesake flags as if to emphasize his point Wednesday as we approached the latest conservation prize, on Hangman Creek east of Spangle.
The 142 acres signed into a perpetual conservation plan by the Ralph Hein family on Friday joins a 322-acre easement secured in 2008 just downstream from Kentuck Trails Road. Together they assure that 2.5 miles of the creek, pine-shaded basalt cliffs, cottonwood-hawthorn bottoms and some of the most intact native ecosystems on the drainage continue to provide for fish and critters.
This is the Land Trust's third protected parcel along Latah Creek and fourth within the Latah Creek watershed.
"I like to think of it as conservation sprawl," DeForest said. "It's a small way to try and balance the not-so desirable type of sprawl. A conservation easement is a permanent decision, but so is subdivision and development."
Landowners draw up easements for a range of practical and private reasons: "Some are protecting the land for their kids and some are protecting it from their kids," he said.
Hein family members discussed the options for 13 years before deciding to protect the land their ancestors had acquired in 1889. If the family ever decides to sell, the land will continue to be protected.
It's not all in natural condition. The family wants to continue generating income from crops on a portion of the property that's cultivated, and the contract guarantees they can develop an acre on the property should they ever want to build.
Cropland next to good habitat is a win-win for wildlife, DeForest said: "And providing one acre for potential development is a far cry better than the other alternatives. Under current zoning, this land could be divided into eight parcels."
These slices of wildlife heaven are essential in maintaining corridors for wildlife that needs to move, such as elk and moose, he said.
The INLT has helped protect small but critical lands that were later taken over by other entities, such as Mirabeau Point Park, now managed by Spokane Valley, and the Reardan Ponds, a prime waterfowl rest stop assumed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Also last week, INLT protected 297 acres and 1.5 miles of shoreline in the Priest River basin in Bonner County. Logging will continue on the land under a plan that assures protection for elk habitat and a tributary important to bull trout.
So far, the group has protected land along 34 miles of river and lake shores in the region, not counting the intermittent streams.
The strategy for the next five years is to focus on land along waterways and lakes.
"This land has the greatest habitat value and also faces the greatest threats," said DeForest, a trained forester. "We apply science and common sense to where we work."
In addition to peace of mind, landowners can benefit financially from conservation easements.
Giving up some of the value of their land to a charitable organization offers tax benefits.
"That's society's way of thanking the landowner for contributing to clean water and habitat protection," DeForest said. And estate taxes are lower for conservation land that is no longer open to subdivision.
About 1,800 land trusts are working across the United States, including eight in Idaho and 30 in Washington. The conservation easements they oversee give agencies and other groups the assurance they need to initiate restoration and enhancement projects that won't be undone by the next landowner.
For example, easements in the Hangman drainage are prompting The Lands Council, Department of Ecology, Trout Unlimited and school groups to invest time and money for conservation efforts.
"Our three objectives are protecting land, caring for land and connecting people with nature," DeForest said, noting the INLT's nature walks and specialty outings to educate people about birds, butterflies, dragonflies and other species.
INLT, based at 35 W. Main Ave. in Spokane, has a volunteer board of directors and a staff of five supported by grants and fund-raising efforts plus about 400 members who donate $15-$5,000 a year to the cause.
"There's an example of a family that ought to support the Land Trust," DeForest said, pointing to a rural home recently built overlooking the Hein property and Hangman Creek.
"Our conservation easement has protected their view forever."

It's no secret that Rashida Jones can carry a tune. She shows off her vocals on an annual basis to duet with Jimmy Fallon for his yearly holiday recap of the year's previous songs. Plus, she's the daughter of legendary producer Quincy Jones. Music is in her blood.
Back in October, the 39-year-old Parks and Recreation actress lent her vocals to a new song from Boss Selection, a project from producer Sunny Levine. The music video for the laid-back jam, "Flip and Rewind," has just arrived.
Staying true to the throwback vibe of the track, Jones serves major 90s realness in the clip. She pays homage to TLC, Mary J. Blige, Brandy and more who had major hits during that decade. Check out the fun clip below featuring some memorable fashion trends from that era. Baggy overalls and oversized blazers anyone?
"The inspiration for the video that [writing partner Will McCormack] and I directed was to try to evoke the feeling of the '90s, but not in a mocking way," Jones told Rolling Stone. "I think for you and I both, it's such an important time musically, emotionally, and psychologically. Every part of us formed during the '90s, and we took all of the quintessential R&B videos from the '90s and did our best to recreate them."
Jimmy Fallon has once again teamed up with Rashida Jones for another holiday memorable performance. I love their annual tradition of parodying the biggest pop songs of the year by putting a festive spin on the lyrics.
With the assistance of Queen Latifah and Eric Nally, they take on Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money," Drake's "Hotline Bling" and Silento's "Whip/Nae Nae," to name a few. My favorite is this little gem below.
"Bitch better have my stuffing
Put it up that turkey's butt
Stove Top Top Top!"
Check out the highly-amusing clip below.
Love, love, love both these ladies. While most of primetime was in rerun mode due to Thanksgiving, late night provided some original programming. Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Lawrence popped up on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman's Late Show respectively, Thursday night.
Underwood joined Rashida Jones and Fallon as they performed a holiday medley. Instead of using traditional Yuletide tracks, the trio mashed up some of the year's biggest pop hits including "Roar," "Blurred Lines," and "Royals" but with altered lyrics. Carrie belted lines like "You made me cook a butterball. And then a green bean casserole," to the tune of Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball." Just like Miley's AMAs performance, a giant kitten appeared on the screen behind her.
Meanwhile over at CBS, Lawrence along with Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Martha Stewart recited Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's infamous crack apology. As you recall, Ford recently admitted to smoking crack and made a series of inappropriate remarks. Oh, Canada! Check out both clips below.
All is not right in the city of Pawnee. There is breaking news that two veteran actors of the NBC sitcom are leaving in the middle of Season 6. This won't be the first time a main castmember has exited Parks and Recreation. Paul Schneider left in the middle of Season 2, shortly after Adam Scott joined the cast.
While the show has never been a huge ratings winner, it is a critical darling and has served as a launching pad for its cast. Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones and Chris Pratt have inked deals for films, book deals, comedy tours and more as a result of their work on the show. The Amy Poehler show was the only comedy to get a renewal from NBC last season. Find out which two actors are leaving below.
How many of your (gay) friends break up and get back together and break up and get back together and break up and "stay friends" only to get back to mother-freaking-gether again? Yeah, it's a pandemic. In the vein of that annoyance (yes, I can judge, I've never done it but have been "the friend" to many a reuniting buddies and roll my eyes every time), I choose to recommend this comedic pick o' the week starring to B-listers giving a pretty good demonstration of what a modern funny couple looks like in today's world.
While Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones don't exactly scream leading roles, they are nonetheless consummate comedians and every scene of this movie is executed to make you smile… even the sad parts. Short synopsis: boy and girl date forever and are best friends and break up but remain inexorably intertwined and drive their friends absolutely insane with their are they/aren't they facade. It's a pretty original storyline that strangely enough has really been done too much and because it's so relatable, you're captured by the plot. No, the movie isn't going to win awards or sky rocket any careers but it's mos def worth a view to anyone who's been in this situation or laughs at friends who have. Andy is very good at being the boner, aloof mess that I'm sure he method acts through his live when the camera is off and Rashida shines brightly for me in this one as the Type A comedic bitch-lite who just can't get her life straight.

A week after the Sandy Hook shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, two videos from very opposing camps hit the internet. First you have celebrities asking in a PSA, "How many more colleges? How many more classrooms? How many more movie theaters? How many more house of faith? How many more shopping malls? How many more street corners?" Demand A Plan is a grassroots initiative to mobilize Americans to DEMAND a plan to end gun violence from Congress and President Obama. Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce, Michelle Williams, Selena Gomez, John Hamm, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and many, many more lend their voices to the PSA.
Coincidentally on the same day, National Rifle Association president Wayne LaPierre, held a live press conference. LaPierre claims the media is to blame for the shootings and not guns. He explains that the entertainment industry makes "the filthiest form of pornography," citing violent music videos and films Natural Born Killers and American Psycho. He further goes on to say that "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." His most controversial comment that has celebrities on Twitter in a tizzy is his claim that had armed guards been at Sandy Hook, innocent lives would've been spared that day. Check out both vids below.
Last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the Thanksgiving holiday was celebrated in an awesome parody of several of the top songs of the year in a one big holiday medley. The song was performed by Jimmy Fallon and special guest Rachida Jones (Parks & Recreation). The two combine today's biggest hits with various holiday themes to come up with one instant classic. Here are the songs that they parody (in order):
For example, "You Don't Know You're Beautiful" lyrics become, "You don't know you're really full" and "Call Me Maybe" becomes, "Pass the gravy," etc. One of my favorites was "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" modified into, "We are never, ever, ever, wearing ugly sweaters." LOL. Watch the hilarious segment below.
This movie looks so good! Rashida Jones and Andy Samburg star in a new romantic comedy called 'Celeste & Jesse Forever' and we've got your first look at the trailer. Aside from the stellar cast, this movie seems to tell a very honest story about relationships, breakups, and heartbreak.
Jones & Samburg play two people that met in high school, married young and are now growing apart. At 30-years old, they decide to get divorced and try to stay best friends while they pursue other relationships. Needless to say, this is easier said than done. Celeste (Rashida Jones) is pretty certain that divorcing the Jesse (Andy Samberg) is the right thing to do. Even though he is still in love with her, Jesse accepts her decision and transitions into being "best friends". When reality sets in, Celeste starts to realize that maybe she had a good thing and is making the wrong decision. Unfortunately, this revelation is bad timing for Jesse.
Supporting cast include Elijah Wood, Emma Roberts, Chris Messina, Ari Graynor, and Will McCormack. The film hits theatres on August 3. Check out the trailer below!

~ Feralas ~
"Unlike its barren neighbors to the north, south, and east, Feralas is a lush forest. Both the Horde and Alliance lay claim to the area and have to contend with powerful local forces. These include the bloodthirsty Gordunni ogres who control a number of scattered ancient Elven ruins, including the vast dungeon of Dire Maul. The ogres have desecrated and defiled much of Feralas, damaging the land with their taint. The Horde in particular is concerned with the unchecked expansion of the Gordunni and has put out a call for adventurers to aid the war effort against them. Feralas is also home to a number of scattered Grimtotem tauren tribes, members of which are hunted by order of Belgrom Rockmaul in Orgrimmar. The far western islands are crawling with Naga and recently several Silithid hives have been spotted. Feralas is also the location of one of the four Great Trees leading to the Emerald Dream and guarded by the four Emerald Dragons. The three others are in Ashenvale, Duskwood, and the Hinterlands.
Once part of the great expansion of Night Elf power, the forest of Feralas holds many ancient ruins as well as the great city now known as Dire Maulthat have long since been overgrown by the native plant life. One possible explanation for its abundant flora and fauna could lie in the fact thatKalimdor was once nothing but lush forests prior to the Great Sundering. It is likely the high mountains that surround the area served as a protective barrier from such outside factors.
Built twelve thousand years ago by a covert sect of Highborne sorcerers, the ancient city of Eldre'Thalas was used to protect Queen Azshara's most prized arcane secrets. Though it was ravaged by the Great Sundering of the world, much of the wondrous city still stands as the imposing Dire Maul. The ruins' three distinct districts have been overrun by all manner of creatures — especially the spectral Highborne, foul satyr and brutish ogres. Only the most daring party of adventurers can enter this broken city and face the ancient evils locked within its ancient vaults."

When Do Christmas Lights Need To Come Down? (POLL)
It's no secret that kids love Christmas lights. To be honest, if it wasn't for our children a lot of us may never put up Christmas lights.
It's no secret that kids love Christmas lights. To be honest, if it wasn't for our children a lot of us may never put up Christmas lights.
Taking your kids to see Christmas lights is a holiday tradition for most families. One of my families favorite places to go see Christmas lights is the Candy Cane House.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — An Idaho homeowners association has backed down from threats to sue a man whose extreme Christmas light display last year bothered neighbors.
When to set up the Christmas decorations is, and will always be, a matter of debate. It will always be too early or too late depending on the person (we won't get in to when you take them down). I say "to each his own" and don't complain if I put mine up before you think I should. I don't tell you how to landscape your yard in the summer, so if somebody wants Christmas lights up before you take down your Halloween decorations, I think that is their right.
Most of us love Christmas and want to celebrate it in every way possible. The big question is, in order to celebrate Christmas do we need to put up Christmas lights?
One of the best things to do around Christmas is load the family into the car and drive around town to check out all of the incredible Christmas lights around the Magic Valley.
Everybody loves Christmas lights and we can all agree the season wouldn't be the same without them. The Magic Valley Mall has put up Christmas lights around the Mall for the past several years. This year the Magic Valley Mall will not be putting up lights.
It's time to put up Christmas lights! Every year, I think I need more lights than I had the year before...or I discover that all my Christmas lights are broken from the year before.
For years people have driven the treacherous road into the South Hills to see the amazing Christmas lights and Bull the Camel. This year they moved the whole event and things are a lot easier! So, where is the new location for the South Hills Christmas Lights?
Last year the 56,000 light Christmas display which adorned Jan Stewart's Fountain Valley, California home went viral, with a YouTube video of the lights in action garnering close to 500,000 views.
This year marks the end of a long standing Christmas tradition: the Rock Creek Christmas Lights--which locals call the "South Hills Lights." This is the final year to drive out to the South Hills and see the lights at the Wojcik's home, walk through the display, and feed 'Bull' the Camel.
However, next year will see the beginning of a new holiday tradition.

Brian Cohen's biggest claim to fame is being the first investor in Pinterest. He's also the chairman of New York Angels, a consortium of 75 accredited investors that have collectively invested over $45 million and the co-founder, along with his son Trace, of Launch.it, a platform for startups to manage and distribute news.
The title may say "every investor", but these are definitely Cohen's opinions. Still, the principles and advice he shares in the book are common to most angel investors. Cohen's take on angel investing is that it's a "contact sport". Founders and angels need to stay engaged. Even the significance of a meal shared by angels and founders is discussed.
Instead of general ideas, this book is filled with clear-cut advice on how to make the best impression with potential investors. Examples included in the book are:
Types of Angels to Avoid
5 Tips For a Perfect Elevator Pitch
8 Questions For founders
Sequence of a Pitch Deck
6 Models of Crowdfunding
A lighter moment is the What Company Said ("We have an incredible game-changing transformational vision for the future") and What Angel Heard ("We have our heads in the cloud with little idea how to execute") section.
Bottom line, What Every Angel Investor Wants You to Know is a rare look into the minds of angel investors, and perfect for any entrepreneur seeking funding or in the process of getting funded.
Cohen holds your hand and takes you step by step through the process of getting your start up funded. He gives you "key phrases" of what to actually say to investors in critical situations. He tells you the best way to approach an angel investor and how he likes to be approached. He lists the key things that angel investors look for in their decision process. He tells you the mistakes that most start-up entrepreneurs makes, so you can avoid making the same mistakes. And if that is not enough, he gives you resources and tells you exactly where to find angel investors and how to contact them.
"There are 250,000 Angel Investors in the U.S. funding 50,000 start-ups in a year. Angel investors commit about $20 billion to start-ups." I was stunned when I read this statistic in Cohen's book. It's data from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Bottom line... there are plenty of angel investors out there and they are looking for businesses to invest in. Mine as well be yours right?
If you are an entrepreneur and starting a business or thinking about starting a business my recommendation is that you stop everything you are doing right now! Buy this book, read it, study it, take notes and apply everything you see. If you do that, then I believe your $16 investment will pay for itself a thousand times over.
Why would they want to invest in our business? What are they looking to accomplish? What traits and characteristics are they looking for in us? What is all of that important to them?
In What Every Angel Investor Wants You to Know, Brian Cohen answers these and many more questions.
Many might think it's all about the money.
Wrong. Angel investors already have a pile of money.
They don't want to lose money, to be sure. But angels are looking to accomplish something, to be part of something meaningful.
And if you are the right person and have the right business, you can help them succeed. You can help them help you get what you want.
The appendixes alone are worth the price of the book.
For a more extensive review, check out startupnegotiator.com/blog.
The book is full of practical advice for entrepreneurs raising finance for their startup. And it has plenty of case studies to make sure the lessons sink in.
Best in my opinion is that the book is written not by an academic but a person who lives and breathes this stuff every day. Brian S. Cohen is an active angel investor in the New York City startup community, and the chairman of New York Angels.
In his book, Cohen relates tons of examples from his investing experience on the startup trail, including a men's briefs designer he's backed (and endorsed). But more common are the stories of tech entrepreneurs he's backed and the reasons why. One key factor behind all his investments, including Pinterest, is the entrepreneur's deep knowledge of the market.
The book is loaded with personality -- humor, warmth, candor, upbeat -- and reads like it's written from the heart.
I highly recommend this book for any entrepreneur serious about getting ahead in the startup world.

Bio: ElectroFoam!, or EF as they are commonly referred to, was founded by Mikey Hevr guitarist/vocalist in early 2009. After a few years of playing local shows, changing members, and refining songs, Jody Bailey (lead guitarist) was added. The acoustic/pop-punk band is currently based in Oklahoma City,...See Full Bio
"ELECTROFOAM!: The one thing I keep coming back to with Lawton, OK's ElectroFoam! is early Damone; female vocalist/guitarist [Mikey Hevr] makes me think of that band's singer/guitarist Noelle, not least of all because she's got a roughed-up, tomboy-ish quality to her voice, but also because the guitars ride the line between poppy punk and streetwise metal. Oddly, the track that impresses me the most is the acoustic track "Regrets," which is pretty much just [Hevr] spitting embittered lyrics over a fast-strummed guitar line, with bandmates [Jody Bailey] and Jon Michael Jackson doing gang vocal backups. The whole thing makes me think of One Small Step For Landmines, and it's a great freaking song, in spite of being as minimal as it really could possibly be. Check it out, below: And hey, in case you miss 'em at SHFL, the EFF! kids are playing in town a second time, Friday, March 23rd, over at Bohemeo's…"

The Northeast Georgia Fellowship of Christian Athletes will host its first All-Star game on Dec. 20.
Here is the list of players participating
Six Jefferson wrestlers won two matches as the Dragons defeated Berkmar (41-33) and Druid Hills (58-15) in a tri-meet on Wednesday.
Ben Kelly won two matches by pin at 120 pounds and Chase Piperato won two matches by pin at 126. Tanner Thurmond (132), Jack Dollar (145), Bam Little (160) and Johnny Paolozzi (170) won two matches each.
The Dragons travel to Greenville, S.C., for the South Carolina Duals on Saturday.
DANIELSVILLE — Doug Kesler's fingerprints are all over Athens-area softball.
They're found easily in Madison County's softball complex, where banners list the Red Raiders' six region championships and four consecutive elite eight appearances.
They're seen in other programs, thanks to the coaches that have come to Kesler and picked his brain, trying to replicate his 16 years of success.
And they're easy to spot among his players, 26 of which have gone on to play collegiate softball.
COMMERCE — East Jackson is used to winning tight games.
The Eagles played tight games with Banks County, Oconee County, Commerce and Hebron Christian this season, so as North Oconee pulled even with East Jackson in the third quarter on Tuesday, the Eagles weren't in new territory.
"We've got to learn to finish games and be smarter in games," East Jackson coach Brian Turner said.
The Eagles went on to win 76-74 after squandering an early lead midway through the second quarter.
BETHLEHEM — Madison County's Mya Moss registered a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds and recorded six blocked shots Tuesday as the Raiders stopped a three-game losing skid with a 53-34 victory over winless Apalachee.
Kiara Hooks scored a team-high 17 points for Apalachee (0-6).
Madison County (3-5) will play at 7 p.m. Friday at Stephens County. Apalachee will play at 5 p.m. Thursday at Loganville.
ATHENS CHRISTIAN 46, PINECREST ACADEMY 39: At Athens Christian, the Eagles outscored Pinecrest Academy 26-13 in the second half to improve to 4-0.
COMMERCE — There was little fanfare as time expired on North Oconee coach Donnie Byrom's 300th victory on Tuesday.
For Byrom, the Titans' 43-31 win over East Jackson was just another game.
"It's good to get the individual stuff out of the way so we can focus on the team as the season goes on," Byrom said. "But I'm excited that I've been blessed to have had to the opportunity to coach this long."
The fifth-year coach has notched 100 wins since arriving at North Oconee in 2009, and at least some of his players can remember his last major milestone at the school.
Former Jefferson coach T. McFerrin, who led the Dragons to the Class AA state football championship last December, will be honored Saturday by the Atlanta Falcons with their Lifetime Achievement award at the Georgia Dome.
Since 2008, the Falcons have hosted their Salute to High School Football during the state championship games held at the Georgia Dome. The team recognizes a Coach of the Year from each of the state's six classifications and honors a former coach for his accomplishments over his career.
Boys basketball
Kamar Baldwin, Alantae Billings, Joey German, Apalachee — In Apalachee's 66-59 victory Tuesday over Gainesville, Baldwin scored 21 points, Billings added 17 points and German contributed 16 points. In Apalachee's 78-64 victory Friday over Flowery Branch, Baldwin scored 24 points.
Some three months before the Monsignor Donovan boys basketball season began, the team's fortunes took a decided turn south.
Junior Lee Brackman, the Rams' tallest player at 6-foot-4 and the school's quarterback, suffered a shoulder injury on Sept. 20 against Covenant Christian, effectively ending both his football and basketball seasons.

While I have no doubt that the basic story (DeBeers' blatant manipulation of diamond prices, dangerous working conditions in diamond mines, and rampant trade in "blood diamonds") is accurate to some degree, it's a challenge to find anything resembling specific claims with definite proof. The book reminds me more of a "20/20 expose" than a careful, verifiable and accurate telling. Random photographs scattered throughout the text (of such fascinating subjects as outside entrances to mine workers' quarters) do little to improve this impression. Worse, there are a few "side subjects" (such as a discussion of synthetic diamonds) that contain obvious inaccuracies.
There's an interesting and vital story here, and Roberts is to be commended for presenting it in the face of a cartel with billions of dollars at stake and no compunction to "play fair". (Compare Roberts' relatively hard-hitting story to Michael Hart's ambivalent, yet very probably DeBeers-approved, "Diamond".) If the appendix describing her difficulties in getting her film aired is to be believed, there's more than a little "funny business" going on.
But... it's such a fascinating story that it doesn't need the journalistic excess that permeates this book. A sober and straightforward account would've been more convincing and ultimately more helpful.
This review was in The Independent newspaper in the UK on May 22nd. It is by Boyd Tonkin. I think it one of the best.
"After Disney apparently refused to handle Michael Moore's celluloid polemic, Fahrenheit 9/11, the row over market censorship rumbled long and loud. That's America - and Hollywood - pundits over here might say. In Britain, and in the book world, we take such liberty for granted.
We can't, of course. Publishers' fear of libel suits - in particular, of "libel tourism" by foreign claimants - acts as an often-invisible brake on controversy. Mostly, it inhibits not vapid tittle-tattle about private lives but serious reportage. Take Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud, acclaimed in the US for a careful exposure of the close ties between the two first families. Here, Secker & Warburg announced the book but then failed to release it. In other cases, news of the suppression of books may emerge very late, or not at all. Thanks to an intrepid US firm, an extraordinary example has just come to light.
Disinformation, a New York outfit, has issued a formidably well-researched and widely-sourced account of the global diamond trade by the Australian-based investigative journalist Janine Roberts. It strikes this lay reader as one of the most dogged and damning exposés of a near-monopolistic industry to appear in years. The greater wonder is that it has appeared at all.
Roberts first began to unearth the stories of diamond miners and traders while reporting a clash between Aboriginal people and prospectors more than 20 years ago. The project meant, above all, following the trail of De Beers.Read more ›
Roberts maages to gain access to some places thought untouchable such as the De Beers mines, and it is depressing to find that everything you hear on the grapevine is basically true. This industry is hard to fathom at the best of times, with the corruption and unethical treatment of human beings.
Worse still is the wool being pulled over the consumers eyes over conflict diamonds, exploiting the progession of consumer conscience. This is horrible and there needs to be some real action from the UN, rather than getting into bed with the problem!

Product Description
40 Oz. To Freedom
Ska music has been deeply ingrained in the punk rock culture since the Clash adopted their rude boy stance near the end of the British punk invasion and the 2-Tone label put ska on the map. Suddenly, punks stopped kicking the crap out of each other long enough to dance. The debut release by Orange County, California's Sublime is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of dub, reggae, rap, sampling, scratching, and badass dancehall ska with old-school punk overtones. Musicianship on this record is exceptionally tight, featuring Brad Nowell's innovative guitar work and bright, soulful voice. Packed with 40 oz. of rock (21 tracks) including the ultimate pot-smoking anthem "Smoke Two Joints" and the novelty hit "Date Rape." --Gail Worley

40 oz's is by far their masterpiece, and if you're new to the ska scene, it would be a shame for you not to buy this album first and foremost before any others. Every song is a definate listen and though it takes time for some people to hook onto them, it will be definately worth the time and effort to listen to this whole cd. Even the shoutout track at the end is great! This album is the soul of Bradley and it shows the struggles he dealt with, and the heart and soul he poured into getting his band off the ground and into history.
1. ruca- The cd starts off with lou dog barking (he's the dog on the back cover), and then goes into ruca. I listen to ruca non-stop the first time i heard it. With just a one note bass and some kicks, this song is brilliant. Bradley's song writing skills show early on
2. 40. oz. to freedom- This song is great. it's sort of a ska song, but then the guitar kicks in, swithching the song at the chorus.
3. smoke 2 joints- classic. This is the only song i know where in my hometown, the gangsters, the punks, and of course- the pot heads jam out too. This is sublime's most popular street song. Great lyrics. I'm not too sure though i who did it first (the toyes or sublime), Bradley said he was jacked from the toyes, if anyone knows, email me.
4. We only die...- a sort of punk song (its a cover, forgot who did it first), with Bradley's great voice. Picks up the cd to the next level
5.Dont push- Where to begin with this song, its brilliant. Alot of people dont get how good this song is. Bradley made three (maybe more)versions of this song, and he's not recycling lyrics, he's just looking for the right fit. The lyrics trip you out, they're so great. The endong is great too- tweeking every weekend and we just cant take it...
6. 5446/ball and chain- Great party song. The song swithces up in the middle, its real good. Another cover
7. Badfish- one of sublime's top three songs. Has a great line- i swim but i wish i never learned (right now) waters too polluted with germs-, talking about his heroin addiction.Read more ›

Hey guys,
I recently began building a WordPress site that doesn't actually have a homepage. When visited, you are presented with a single, random post. I've done this using the following code on index.php.
query_posts( 'posts_per_page=1&orderby=rand' );
This works for displaying a random post when visiting the site, but isn't working well for SEO purposes. Instead of using the meta title and meta description for the single post, I get the general meta info (Site name and Site Description).
What I'm looking for is a way to display the posts on the homepage using single.php so each post will have the correct meta info for the single post.
I tried creating a custom page template using the same code as I did for index.php and setting it as my static homepage, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I have tried researching this issue, but haven't been able to find a solution.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I can provide more information if need be.
