A seemingly ill-conceived festival re-branding campaign in season two of the three-season behind-the-scenes theater series Slings & Arrows uses lines from bad reviews to connect with a new audience. One such review reads "…theater has never made television looks so good." Well, in the case of this Canadian TV import, I can honestly say television has never made theater look so good.
I first discovered Slings & Arrows during the non-stop coverage of The Sopranos finale. TV critics on NPR were debating, prematurely, whether the HBO mob saga was the best show in the history of television… ever. One critic chimed in on his love of the show Slings & Arrows, calling it the best show he had ever watched.
As a viewer who has taken in the series Slings & Arrows twice in its entirety, I'd have to say the critic wasn't far off. The show about the fictional New Burbage Theatre Festival (based loosely on Canada's Stratford Shakespeare Festival) is the best combination of Aaron Sorkin and Alan Ball, two people who have made what are arguably the best modern TV dramas, The West Wing and Six Feet Under, respectively.
With Slings & Arrows, we get Sorkin's behind-the-scenes look at theatrical productions of Shakespeare's classics featuring an idealized version of a festival's artistic director in Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross). Tennant is an eccentric artist who believes in the power of the theater. He takes over for former friend/mentor/enemy Oliver Welles (Stephen Ouimette), who – and here's where the dark comedy of one Alan Ball comes in – dies after a ham truck runs him over.
At the time of his death, Welles was, as the local theater critic puts it, going through the motions. The shows were stale, but profitable, something the bean-counting festival director Richard Smith-Jones (Mark McKinney) didn't mind one bit. Upon Welles's death, Smith-Jones, at the urging of an American business executive with ties to the festival's major corporate sponsor, Holly Day (Jennifer Irwin), begins to develop major Disney World-type improvements to the festival. That is until the board appoints artiste Tennant as interim artistic director.
The Diana Christensen-esque Day competes with Tennant for the direction of the festival. Is great theater enough to fill the seats? Does the festival need to be more business-minded? That's a major struggle in the above described first season, as well as the macro conflict of the show's three-season run.
The more character-driven portion of the narrative follows Tennant's attempt to work with his former lover and festival star Ellen Fanshaw (Martha Burns). Tennant once went mad in the middle of a performance of Hamlet because of Ellen's liaison with none other than the gay Welles. Everyone questions Tennant's sanity, but no one more than himself because he has regular conversations with Welles's ghost.
The ghost of Welles, a witch-like but prescient old donor, a dying old actor among many other intentional idiosyncrasies ensure that each season mirrors ever so slightly the Shakespearean production that Tennant is charged with putting on. The show, however, is at its best when dealing directly with the productions, allowing some of the finest working theater actors in Canada to take on classical roles with often towering intensity. Stars well known to American audiences like Rachel McAdams and Sarah Polley give performances you hardly expect if you've only seen them in their commercial film work.
There are many great performances in the show, but I love one particular performance in season two. Prior to a preview for the show Macbeth, the lead Henry Breedlove (Geraint Wyn Davies), an arrogant, complacent stage legend, is fired. He and Tennant don't see eye to eye (and Welles's ghost is siding with Breedlove!). The show goes on with Breedlove's unprepared understudy Jerry (Oliver Dennis) in the role of Macbeth. In this great, almost episodic program Jerry has his chance to rise up and create for a few brief moments an effective, if unusual Macbeth. It's an exceptional moment for Jerry, a bit part if there ever was one, but it also shows that the show is so solid that it can go on slight tangents without losing sight of the bigger picture. The episode that follows is near perfection.
Much of the series is at the level of that episode that follows Jerry's turn. It's a show that runs hard and runs fast, but fades out quickly. It's a sprinter of a series, with only 18 episodes in total, short of even a single season run for most broadcast television shows. The greatest delight is watching Slings & Arrows burn the candle at both ends. While it's burning it gives such a lovely light. I can't imagine the show ever holding up a longer run. Slings & Arrows, after all, is a show about theater, and the playwrights and actors who created it aren't writing a love letter. They've written a Dear John letter to the theater that has risen. It's evident in the constant lampooning of the corporatization of the medium, the ludicrous marketing campaigns, and a musical takeover of the festival. In the end, Slings & Arrows could be classified as a problem teleplay, if only because for every bit of comedy the show chronicles the grand tragedies of modern theater.
Don't miss these DVD features:
- Extended performance scenes
- Lyrics for the each season's opening song
- A bonus disc with some very raw behind-the-scenes documentaries
Slings & Arrows: The Complete Collection DVD set is available February 5, 2008.Powered by Sidelines

The marketing department at USA Network must have been worried people would think the lead character of its new hacker drama was pro-establishment—because the posters for the show, Mr. Robot, are anything but subtle. "F*ck Wall St.," "F*ck Social Media, "F*ck Society" and "F*ck the System" reads pretty much the only copy in four blustery ads that can't but evoke FCUK, except that the guy in the images, actor Rami Malek, is wearing the Mark Zuckerberg anti-fashion uniform of a hoodie (even though it turns out Facebook is now, apparently, officially The Man). USA deserves credit for not mincing words, and speaking truth to power, especially about the whole finance thing, given the sorry state of affairs—parent company NBCU's parent company Comcast has a market cap of only $149 billion. But at least in the trailer, there seems to be some grand Robin Hood caper brewing, toward the mass redistribution of wealth. (If the plebes can't have it in real life, they might as well get it in their fiction.) It was probably inevitable that someone would make a TV series about a good-looking, bad-boy hacker with a heart of gold, because everyone knows hacking is about being a revolutionary—not about old rich white men transferring their money to young white men who use it to fund fanciful whims that every once in a while turn out to be viable businesses. But in all seriousness, the show looks like it might actually have some potential—Christian Slater plays some lord of the digital underworld—so long as it doesn't include any mega virus monsters that infiltrate digital air conditioners to release a neuro gas.Read More
Television is dead! Long live television! This, the ancient cry of royal succession, is entirely appropriate to herald what's happening right now—literally before our eyes—to the medium of television. TV has ruled our lives and lifestyles, our news and entertainment, our politics and (through advertising) our economics since network broadcasting began in 1949. And now its sovereignty is over. Randall Rothenberg Illustration: Alex Fine "Linear TV has been on an amazing 50-year run, [but] Internet TV is starting to grow," Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said earlier this month, in announcing superb earnings for the streaming TV pioneer. "Clearly over the next 20 years, Internet TV is going to replace linear TV." Far be it for me to disagree. For what are the Digital Content NewFronts but an example of the revolution that is roiling television's half-century hegemony? Well, pssst, buddy, let me let you in on a little secret: The princeling that's replacing television … is television. Like the British monarchy or any long-lived royal line, TV has proved remarkably resilient and adaptable during its history. From black-and-white to color, from broadcasting to cable, from 15-minute newscasts to 24-hour news networks, from The Beverly Hillbillies to Mad Men , from wait-until-reruns to on-demand, television has been, is and probably will remain a near-perfect evocation of Darwinism, evolving rapidly to meet changes in technology, consumer interests and marketing needs. True, the changes television is undergoing now are breathtaking, in volume and speed. Prime time has become an anachronism. Today, Emmy-winning, high-quality shows, once the domain only of a specific time and device, are available across multiple devices at any hour of the day. We rarely sit down together as families and friends to watch a TV show after dinner. We watch the programming we love, on our own, several times a day, wherever we happen to be. And that family and friends with whom we hashed it over? That would be our social graph—an ever-present (and ever-growing) real-time feedback loop. The once-unmatchable power of the 30-second spot is also on the declineRead More
If MTV wanted to make it clear that it was the network for millennials, it did so with aplomb during its 2015 upfront presentation at New York's Beacon Theater Tuesday night. Featuring its top hosts and a concert by pop singer Jessie J, the network showcased what it would have to offer through the lens of the youth themselves. "All these MCNs (multi-channel networks) saying TV is dead, they are in our offices begging to be on MTV," Girl Code host Nessa said on stage. The network introduced eight new series, renewed 10 others — and announced a whopping 85 more shows in development. Returning shows include: Girl Code Teen Wolf Catfish: The TV Show Teen Mom 2 Awkward MTV president Stephen Friedman explained his slate of shows express millennials' "unbridled optimism" despite the fact that their "big dreams are harder to achieve." "It means layered and ironic entertainment," Friedman said. "The virtue they value above all others is hustle." Among the new shows: America's Best Dance Crew All Stars: Road to the VMAs which will focus on dance teams as they take on VMA-themed challenges. Middle of the Night Show: A late night talk show developed with College Humor, in which host Brian Murphy arrives unannounced in a random celebrity's bedroom and convinces the star to be the show's co-host on the spot. Scream: The TV Series, based on the hit 90s horror series by Wes Craven, debuting June 30. MTV has updated the iconic slasher films for modern times, complete with references to connected homes and extremely rapid text messaging. (Sadly, Ghostface has gotten a makeover. The new mask is still spooky, but we have to admit we're a little nostalgic for the vintage look.) If you needed further proof the 90s are back, MTV will also air Follow The Rules, a reality TV show about rapper Ja Rule. Despite the fact many of MTVs key demographic is too young to have experienced hits like "I'm Real" and "Put It On Me" while they were on the charts, MTV proudly touted the half-hour documentary series as a way for fans to keep tabs with the entertainer as he raises his family of teens and college-aged kids. Echoing previous moves to include more online influencers in its programming, MTV will also be adding Todrick, a reality TV series debuting Aug. 31 about YouTube star Todrick Hall—who has amassed more than 180 million views on the platform—as he creates dance and music videos. It is also developing a scripted comedy series around Vine star Logan Paul, who has more than 7 million followers on the app and 20 million Vine views. The series will chronicle Paul's early days as an social media star. Throughout the event, MTV prided itself on being able to connect marketers with the young demographic they covet.Read More
USA Network understands that audience demographics are changing. To further appeal to the mainstream, the NBCUniversal property is working on a new strategy to reach millennials.

Between 1 million and 2 million people will watch the return of Mad Men on Sunday night, but based on digital buzz, it seems only die-hard fans and not newcomers will be tuning in. Digital research from publisher and social media agency Moviepilot predicts that showrunner Matthew Weiner's sublime 1960s drama, now in the conclusive second half of its final season, will not break from its core audience and into more living rooms. "In the week leading up to the Season 7, Part I, premiere [in 2014], search volume for Mad Men was approximately 118,000," explained Moviepilot CEO Tobi Bauckhage. "And by Season 7's mid-season finale, [weekly] search dropped to 93,000. What we're seeing now is yet another drop, down to 88,000 searches. It would appear awareness and inquiry around Mad Men has steadily dropped over the past year plus, so another dip in ratings wouldn't come as a surprise." The Season 7 mid-season finale drew an audience of 1.9 million viewers . Bauckhage's company dug deep into social, search and video data to give marketers an idea of how much buzz—or lack of buzz—April TV premieres are getting. Check out what it learned about Mad Men, Game of Thrones and Daredevil's digital performance in the stats and infographic below. Mad Men On Twitter, the AMC drama has been picking up speed heading into Sunday's premiere, with an average of 2,000 tweets a day. That skyrocketed to 14,300 tweets on March 24, after news broke that leading man Jon Hamm had checked out of rehab, per Moviepilot. According to the Los Angeles-based company, search is the most predictive digital metric of TV viewership for people 35 and older. A week before the season premiere, Mad Men's Google performance looked only decent, with roughly 88,000 searches. Moviepilot's research also showed that Mad Men is weak on YouTube, where clips and trailers for the upcoming season barely eclipsed 1 million views as of April 1. "And while other factors certainly contribute, the substantial decline in premiere and finale ratings for Mad Men over the past two years largely reflect those social metrics," said Bauckhage. "Interesting that a show about savvy marketing has—at least to some degree—missed the boat on the social media revolution." Game of Thrones This HBO juggernaut is, not surprisingly, a social media phenomenon, with 14.5 million likes and more than 62 million views on Facebook for its various clips, as of this week. Mad Men and Daredevil combined for less than 3 million likes and 7 million views. And there were 380,000 tweets about GoT in the final week of March, per Moviepilot. That's pretty phenomenal when you consider that the much-hyped film, Furious 7, which premieres today, amassed 247,000 tweets during a week in mid-March, according to the company. Daredevil How will the first season of Marvel's Daredevil go when it debuts on April 10? Well, it appears that may largely depend on men—the Netflix show's Facebook audience is 98 percent male, with about 153,000 fans.Read More

March Madness, the annual rite of spring for college basketball fans—and a marketing bonanza for brands—is upon us once again (starting March 15 and ending with the championship game April 6). The three-week hoops tourney generated more than $1.1 billion in TV revenue for media rights holders CBS and Turner in 2014, per Kantar, and both networks expect to see more gains thanks to growing digital investments from sponsors like AT&T , Coca-Cola and Capital One. The NCAA's 68-team competition has become a cross-platform juggernaut, and CBS and Turner are leveraging social media labs, mobile video production houses and marketing stats centers in New York, San Francisco and Atlanta to serve an increasingly connected and social audience. New York-based Time Warner Media Lab, in particular, will assist sponsors with enough March Madness data to let them assess their business Xs and Os. "We have eye-tracking biometric equipment where we hook up respondents to measure heart rate, skin response, breathing and nonconscious responses to advertising," explains Will Funk, Turner Sports' svp of sponsorship sales, integration and branded programming. "It's serious research." Funk's division—which works arm-in-arm with CBS and the NCAA—runs the point on all of March Madness' digital and social extensions. He predicts a record-breaking year for revenue, adding that online inventory will be sold out this week, as 19 brands have nabbed roughly 60 percent of all available promos through category-exclusive sponsorships while various companies are buying up the rest. "We have 15 new digital advertisers," adds Funk. "We've seen a trend on the digital side with March Madness that there's more demand than supply, which is always a nice position to be in." Adweek caught up with Funk to talk about how the event may again deliver slam dunks for brands.Read More

Lovely location
by W1517APrebeccas on February 19, 2017
A beautiful location with cottages on the river, swing seats and a gazebo out on the water where we took our meals. The rooms could do with some maintenance for the price but we had a lovely outdoor bathroom and porch. The meals were plentiful and delicious. The family did everything to make us comfortable and we got to take part in some fishing and then eat the result for dinner.

I only have 1 child and she is 8 months old now. I'm feeling rather depressed about my figure, as not only have I kept 15kgs of the 23 I put on, I also have a stomach which looks like I'm pregnant and some people even ask me if I am pregnant again.
I don't mind the weight gain so much and I'm trying to eat healthy and exercise, although have been a bit slack in that area since Easter.
I can't find clothes that fit now as my stomach is emphasised and my boobs are smaller than stomach (even though they have increased in size but I was always on the small side). Everything looks bad. Not only that it is impossible to find clothes that I can breastfeed in easily.
Apparently you are supposed to lose weight and the tummy with BF but not so with me. Has anyone lost weight after BFing? as someone told me that was the case with them.
Any tips on getting rid of the tummy, especially from people with personal experience.

With the kindness of strangers, Jim Pinkerton travels to England cemetery.
COTON, CAMBRIDGE, England -- Along a quiet road near the University of Cambridge, thousands of American soldiers remain on duty.
I was there June 20 as a handful of people, most of them veterans themselves, wandered among the World War II soldiers' graves in the Cambridge American Cemetery, west of Cambridge, England. I was looking for the grave of Robert Pinkerton, of Springfield, Ohio.
I figured it was the least I could do. I had met Robert's brother, Jim, two years earlier, when Jim was trying to get to Cambridge. In the 66 years since his brother's death, Jim Pinkerton had never been to visit his brother's grave.
I met Pinkerton as he tried to complete that mission. In May 2011, I had the privilege to have a plane seat next to Jim as he set off to visit England for the first time — to see his brother for the last time, or so he hoped.
A difficult journey
Nothing was easy about that trip from Columbus, Ohio, to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to London's Heathrow Airport.
Jim Pinkerton, who still lives in Springfield, Ohio, wore a World War II veteran's hat with a Purple Heart logo. Because I had an uncle who served at Pearl Harbor, I struck up a conversation with him and soon learned he was bound for England, too.
He didn't have much of a plan, really. But he had a very specific goal: He wanted to see where his brother had been buried. Robert had been sent to Europe, but Jim was sent the other way, into the Pacific Theater. Jim was wounded in the upper thigh in the Philippines and shipped home to recuperate. By the time he did, the war was over. Back in the States, he ran a bar in Springfield for a while and had three sons. Now, at 87 years old, he was ready to make the trip he always planned to make. His wife, Barbara, had died the previous year. It was time.
He had $1,500 cash and two weeks to spend in England. And that was the end of his plan: Go to England, go to Cambridge and go home. There was no hotel in the plan, no sightseeing. Pinkerton was laser-focused on his mission.
Pinkerton had another challenge: his memory. Although he could, and did, recount tales of his injury and other war experiences from 60 years ago, he had trouble remembering where he'd put his passport. He asked me to write my name and phone number in his address book. I did before he asked me two more times. His goal and his long-term memories were quite focused, but Pinkerton had trouble remembering details of his trip. That's where I came in to help.
We soon exited the plane, but hadn't left Columbus because of a mechanical problem. I called ahead to try to make some arrangement for this man I barely knew. I got as far as finding the name of a hotel before they called our flight again.
The last I saw Jim Pinkerton that day he was talking to a British customs agent, trying to convince him that he should be allowed into the country. For two years, I never knew if he made it. I know now.
A big impression
On June 20, my family and I decided to visit the Cambridge American Cemetery.
Until I met Jim Pinkerton, I had no idea there was a cemetery dedicated to American soldiers in England. And even after meeting him, I really didn't give the cemetery itself much thought; I figured it was like any other cemetery.
I was wrong.
The online brochure showed that this was, in fact, a true American war memorial. I learned that this cemetery was dedicated to American soldiers who died in World War II, where they were taken after having been killed in mainland Europe. More than 3,800 of his fellow American soldiers are buried there with Robert Pinkerton. A mammoth wall bearing the names of 5,000 more Americans who never came home overlooks the graveyard.
Halfway there, I decided to try to find Robert Pinkerton, although at that point, all I knew was his brother's name.
When we arrived, I was blown away by the place. Thousands of headstones, most of them crosses but some bearing the Star of David, were lined up with military precision in sweeping arcs. A huge chapel sits at the left end of a memorial wall every bit as impressive as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The names on the wall bounce off a reflecting pool in front of it.
For the past 16 years, Michael Green has served as a superintendent at cemeteries like this one around the globe. A 20-year Marine Corps veteran who retired as a master sergeant, Green has dedicated the rest of his career to making sure America's fallen soldiers are not forgotten. It is he who proudly reminds anyone who will listen that these men are still on duty, thousands of miles from home.
I met Green with a simple-enough request: How do I find a particular grave? And I told him about meeting a World War II veteran on a plane two years earlier, a man with a desire to see his brother's grave and a short-term memory problem that made his trip challenging.
"You don't mean Pinkerton, do you?" he asked.
Most who know me know I don't often end up at a loss for words, but that did it.
The kindness of strangers
Jim Pinkerton was not deterred by a customs agent, after all.
He had walked outside, and despite all I'd told him about trains in the country, he hailed a cab.
Green told me the rest of the story. The cab driver started the meter when Pinkerton got in the car; he couldn't turn it off even when Pinkerton said he wanted to see his brother in Cambridge. Off they went, about 75 miles from the busy Heathrow pickup area west of London to the remote road west of Cambridge, a fare that added up to about 400 pounds, or roughly $600. And there, Jim Pinkerton met Green.
Green did what he does for everyone who comes to the cemetery looking for a relative. He took Jim Pinkerton and a handful of sand to Robert Pinkerton's headstone. They rubbed the sand, from Omaha Beach, into the carved lettering, making the letters stand out in a more readable way. They placed flags at the tombstone, and taps was played.
"As soon as taps was over, he bent down and hugged his brother's headstone with an embrace that showed how much he loved his brother," Green wrote — was inspired to write — soon after that May 2011 day. "As I wiped the tear from my eye he stood up and said, to his brother, 'I forgive you for socking me in the throat when we were kids.' It was as though this was part of his need to let his brother know he was forgiven."
Pinkerton's mission was complete, but he still had a problem. He was in a foreign country, with nowhere to go, and his trip fund severely depleted by the cab ride. He had two weeks to wait to catch a return flight.
The cab driver offered to take Pinkerton back to London for free.
Green arranged Pinkerton's hotel and got a return flight to the U.S. lined up for the next day. The cab driver then ensured the hotel staff would wake Pinkerton in time for his flight. He even found out how to contact Pinkerton in the U.S. and verified that he got back to the U.S. safely, then let Green know he'd gotten home OK, Green said.
And then Green wrote about it. The story was published in England soon afterward, but it was a very small circulation, so few heard the story.
"It reminded me of that generation. They were mission-oriented. They wanted to help win the war and go back and restart their lives," Green said.
A lasting memory
I recently met Jim Pinkerton for the second time, this time at his home in Springfield.
He distinctly remembers seeing his brother's grave and his trip to England, although the particulars are fuzzy.
I showed him a picture I took in England of Robert's grave.
Robert was a few years older and both were injured at about the same time. Jim, an airborne soldier, was shot in the leg after being "all over Manila" in the Philippines. Considering he parachuted into an area and was alone for a while and had to "eliminate some people," his survival was remarkable. He has a Purple Heart.
Robert was wounded in April 1945. He was in the 100th Infantry, near the German border, when he was injured. He suffered a broken spine and other broken bones, but survived another two months.
"My brother was always tougher than me," Jim remembered. In the end, though, the wounds were too serious.
For 66 years, Jim Pinkerton vowed to reach his brother's grave one last time; I remember his determination that day on the airplane that nothing would stop him from achieving that mission.
Thankfully, he did. He needed help along the way, and he got it — even if he never really asked for it.
Mission accomplished.

Old Town Albuquerque
Old Town comprises about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings, which surround Old Town Plaza. (Plazas were a common feature of Spanish colonial towns.) On the plaza's north side stands San Felipe de Neri Church, a Spanish colonial church constructed in the 18th century.[1]
Old Town was assimilated into the city of Albuquerque ("New Town") in the 1940s;[citation needed] today, it is a shopping and tourist destination. Many of the buildings in Old Town are residences that were converted into restaurants, shops, and art galleries. Bands play in the plaza's gazebo. During the Christmas and holiday season, thousands of luminarias (paper lanterns) line the streets and walkways.
The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, and the Explora science center are northeast of Old Town.

As anyone who has spent time in Napa Valley knows, Mustards Grill is an institution in the wine country-the friendly restaurant where locals first started going for a full plate of fabulous food and a glass of Napa's finest. Chef-owner Cindy Pawlcyn, founding chef of San Francisco's original Fog City Diner, put down her roots in Napa over 15 years ago, bringing her midwestern sensibility and flair for reinventing American food to the valley. Ever since then, Mustards has been affectionately known as the fancy rib joint with way, way too many wines.
The cookbook includes gorgeous full-color food photography from Saveur photographer Laurie Smith.
"The recipes in Mustards Grill represent a wonderful marriage between common American foods, California produce and influences from Latin American and Asian immigrants." —New Orleans Times Picayune
"The book is a perfect reflection of its author's eclectic style that melds sophistication and global inspirations with an earthy American quality." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Like its namesake, the cookbook is bright and bountiful, with a touch of tongue-in-cheek flippancy." —Charleston Post & Courier
"A feast for the eyes with no muss and fuss." —The Los Angeles Daily News
"The book is as honest as the chef" and the "dreamy desserts...are the epitome of comfort." —Santa Rosa Press Democrat
"Pawlcyn's casual writing style gives the reader a feel for her restaurant, and her easy-to-follow recipes are accompanied by chatty-and helpful-notes." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Mustards Grill is a place that's sophisticated without being pretentious. The recipes in this cookbook are no different." —American Way
"Mustards is universally loved by local residents and tourists alike for its smoky, tender, spicy baby back ribs; cornmeal-coated fried green tomatoes; tasty Asian-marinated flank steak; Chinese chicken noodle salad; and, of course, Mustards' always-crisp tangle of deep-fried onion threads. The enduring vitality of this place comes from the fact [that Cindy Pawlcyn] put all the dishes she loved on the menu: country dishes transformed by her sprightly offbeat style and sparkle." —Patricia Unterman, Food Lover's Guide to San Francisco
"As the first (some would say the best) in a string of successful, precedent-breaking restaurants originated by chef Cindy Pawlcyn. It changed Napa Valley and took the stuffiness out of dining by showing that Americans could be as serious about food and wine as the French, but have more fun." —Caroline Bates, Gourmet

Gruesome allegations have emerged in South Africa that the "fake" sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial service was involved in a mob which killed two men by burning them to death.
Thamsanqa Jantjie is currently the subject of an inquiry into how he was allowed to appear at the service a week ago alongside world leaders, including US President Barack Obama.
Questions have been raised over the screening of the man who has been the subject of complaints from the deaf community before, and who said he had hallucinations and saw angels while interpreting at the stadium in Soweto.
A cousin and three friends of Mr Jantjie have now said he was part of a group which caught two men with a stolen television, beat them and then set fire to tyres placed around their necks.
Other suspects were prosecuted for the killings in 2003 but Mr Jantjie was deemed not mentally fit to stand trial, the four men told The Associated Press.
Instead of facing the courts in 2006, Mr Jantjie was placed in a mental health institution for more than a year, after which he returned to live in a poor neighbourhood of Johannesburg. It was after this point that he started doing jobs interpreting sign language at African National Congress (ANC) events, the men said.
Their account matches the details and outcome of the 2003 incident as described by Mr Jantjie himself in an interview with South Africa's Sunday Times. He said: "It was a community thing, what you call mob justice, and I was also there."
The method of the killings, known as "necklacing", was reportedly relatively common during the period of struggle against apartheid. While so-called "mob justice" attacks on thieves still occur across South Africa, using tyres to burn people to death is now rare.
Government officials said that an investigation is underway to determine who hired Mr Jantjie for the Mandela memorial service, and whether he received security clearance. They have not said how long the investigation will take.
Four government departments involved in organising the memorial service have since distanced themselves from the interpreter, telling The Associated Press they had no contact with him.
Mr Jantjie said he was hired by an interpretation company where he has worked on a freelance basis for years. Yet the company was not recognised by any representatives for deaf people in South Africa, and the address he gave was occupied by a completely unrelated organisation.
The Deaf Federation of South Africa has said it filed a complaint with the ANC about bogus signing by Jantjie at a previous event where South African President Jacob Zuma was present.
"We will follow up the reported correspondence that has supposedly been sent to us in this regard and where necessary will act on it," the ANC said in a statement last week.

text: Naxos are beginning to issue Elgar's own classic recordings on their label. Luckily, the transfers are good; they are warm and with less surface noise, but this may not be to all tastes (transfers of 78s are always a controversial matter). However, at bargain price, no one should hesitate. The novelty on this CD is a highly controversial 'accidental stereo' excerpt of the Cockaigne Overture, much talked about in 78-r.p.m. circles. The apparent stereo seems to have been made possible because, as was normal in recordings of this time, two turntables would be running during the cutting of the wax recording master discs, usually fed from the same microphone. Sometimes, as appears to be the case here, two separate microphones were used and (to cut a long story short) were in effect left and right channels. When synchronized together, they give a crude but discernible stereo effect. The producer of this CD, Mark Obert-Thorn, who has written a fascinating note included in the booklet, has made a superb job of this process. It undoubtedly adds another dimension to Elgar's recorded legacy.

Sitting in a corner
Pouring my eyes out
No one there to hold me
To say its okay
And then they love to say
Why don't you care
And when you say
They don't care when you hurt
They act like its unfair
And say I hurt for wrong things
Like loss and broken hearts and souls
While they hurt
Because they cant find
A pair of shoes
Thats when you know
Their not true to you
Thats when you know
Them caring about you
Ain't gonna happen.

"Save the planet. Vote Republican!" Right now that may not seem the most credible of political slogans – up there, perhaps, with "You can trust Tony Blair" and "Gordon Brown cheers you up". But, after last week, it could soon be adorning bumper stickers throughout the United States.
For on Tuesday, Florida crucially threw its weight behind the American politician with the best record in taking action on global warming. Not Al Gore – who lost the presidency in the Sunshine State eight years ago, when the future of the climate appeared to hang on those fateful chads – but the now-leading candidate for the Republican nomination, John McCain.
Gore may have talked a lot about climate change both before and after his vice-presidential stint, but he did virtually nothing while in office: during the Clinton-Gore years US carbon dioxide emissions rose nearly 10 times as much as in George Bush's first term. Instead it is McCain who has been spearheading efforts to cut the pollution in Congress.
And while Gore gutlessly refused to campaign on the issue that he has long considered the most important of all – fearing it would cost him votes – McCain made it one of the defining features of his presidential bid, sticking with it even when his drive to the White House appeared to be stalling last year. So, as things stand, it is the leading Republican candidate who has the most longstanding green cred in the public mind.
Few would have forecast any such possibility when the Toxic Texan was dubiously elevated to the world's most powerful office at the turn of the millennium – the rapid emergence of global warming as a right-wing cause.
It began with the highly improbable Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hummer-loving Terminator, who – on being elected governor of California – took up the issue more vigorously than any other political leader. And it crossed the Atlantic when David Cameron, who had shown no discernable previous interest in the subject, adopted it first to help win the Conservative leadership and then to detoxify his party.
Next up was Angela Merkel, elected at about the same time to the German chancellorship, who quickly made her government much more environmentally friendly, both at home and in interntional negotiations, than the red-green coalition that preceded it . And now – though so far little noticed in this country – France's President Nicolas Sarkozy is beginning to implement the world's most ambitious and thorough-going green policy revolution.
True, Mitt Romney – now far behind McCain, but the only other serious Republican contender – is attempting to buck the trend, asserting that his rival's policies would cost each American $1,000 and insisting that climate change is for the rest of the world to solve.
But if there were no hypocrisy in politics, there would be little or no difference between the two. For Romney has, in fact, been a pioneer of the new green conservatism. As governor of Massachusetts until last year, he was another of the first American politicians to espouse policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He changed his stance as he began positioning himself for a run at the presidency. This helped to establish a reputation for opportunism that has gravely damaged his candidacy, but he believes it saved him when he won last month's primary in Michigan – home of the Detroit car industry.
But last week Romney ran out of road in Florida. More precisely, he ran into yet another new right-wing eco hero, the pivotal state's popular governor Charles Crist. Affectionately known as Chain Gang Charlie for his proposals for the treatment of state prisoners earlier in his career, he has made the once-liberal cause of climate change one of his signature issues – laying out a programme to slash the state's greenhouse gas emissions by a radical 80 per cent by 2050. He endorsed McCain, sealing his victory and putting him far ahead.
The front-runner's greenery may also help him on Super Tuesday this week. Nine of the 20-odd states that hold primaries the day after tomorrow are already on their way to making emission reductions of their own, and opinion polls are running strongly in favour of action. Even in conservative South Carolina, six times as many Republicans support measures to cut carbon dioxide as oppose them. Yet more surprisingly, even 80 per cent of Detroit car workers back proposals to decrease exhaust emissions, despite Romney's success with the dissenting party faithful.
And Ken Mehlman, manager of George Bush's 2004 campaign, says the Republicans cannot hope to attract independents in the presidential election unless they propose "specific solutions" to climate change.
McCain is no natural greenie; in his campaign against Bush eight years ago he was dogged by a heckler dressed as a penguin, protesting at his lack of concern over global warming. But he quickly became convinced by the climate change science, called the President's position "disgraceful" and, since 2003, has successively introduced three bills to enforce action across the country.
In truth, his proposals now look mild besides those being put forward by the two remaining Democrats. Both Clinton and Obama may have been comparatively late in coming to the issue, laying out their plans in the autumn, but they have been vigorous in making up for lost time. Both support the same 80 per cent reductions as Governor Crist. By comparison, McCain's current bill would curb emissions only by 30 per cent. Both Democrats have adopted ambitious increasing renewable energy targets, while McCain has not.
But this is all to the good, because it means a bidding war, all but unnoticed, incidentally, by the American press, on global warming has begun. All three leading presidential candidates in the race propose dramatic action, so that prospects for international action will be very different once George Bush departs. As Phil Clapp, deputy managing director of the Pew Environment Group and perhaps the shrewdest observer of US environment politics, says: "It is now clear that the climate will be a top priority for the incoming president." It's enough to make you want to buy a bumper sticker.

I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow...
— Donovan
If cars, music and jewelry can be sexy, so too can certain foods.
Take saffron for instance: it's the world's most expensive spice, it's picked by hand, and when used, saffron commands the center of attention—both in taste and in glorious color. Saffron is the queen of culinary make-overs: just a pinch of saffron can transform ordinary foods into sophisticated, drop-dead gorgeous meals that entice the senses with seductive aroma and eye-catching hues. A single bite of a saffron-laced dish can send a diner into heaven.
Fortunately, only a small amount of saffron is needed when cooking. In fact, it can be a lazy cook's best friend, as little else is needed to turn a meal from boring to sensational. But saffron also proves that you can have too much of a good thing: adding more than a pinch can overpower a dish with its characteristic pungency, so use it sparingly.
Being at times a lazy cook myself, I created several saffron recipes that look and taste elegant, yet are quick and easy to prepare. Saffron Poached Chicken illustrates how well saffron can work with just a few simple ingredients to produce a succulent but nearly effortless main course—and with a bonus saffron-flavored broth to turn into soup, sauce or for cooking with rice. Other simple saffron recipes that I whip up on occasion are Saffron Basmati Rice and Turkey in Saffron Cream Sauce, a "Turkey+Three Ingredients" dish.
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions about saffron:
One final tip: if you're going to buy the world's most expensive spice, don't be chintzy. It's worth getting a top quality saffron, even if it costs a few dollars more. You'll taste the difference immediately. Look for threads with a dark, deep reddish-orange color, and follow the tips above the get the most of this sexy little spice.
