Singer Jah Cure produces single
RECORDING artiste Jah Cure has ventured into music production and will be releasing a new single called That Girl on Saturday.
This is the first project under his Iyah Cure Music Limited label.
"I am investing in myself on a broader scale because I have come to realise that the Jah Cure brand is powerful. My name is worth millions and that's why other people want to invest in me, so I figured that I should invest in myself and be in control of my own destiny," Jah Cure told The Jamaica Observer.
It is the singer's first attempt at being an executive producer, and he believes that the song's arrangement makes it a "satisfying record".
"I am going to promote it fully, nobody can stop it. I have been involved from conception, from jump street, from the song itself, to its promotion because I supervised the artwork. I even ended up with two different masters, one with horns and without horns. I went all-out on this one," he said.
Cure's foray into production is a dress rehearsal for his upcoming plans to be the executive producer of his own album.
"Mi naah sleep pon my business, right now, I am on throttle mode, so when my contract clears, I can do my own album, so I am learning more things every day to move my career ahead," he said.

I am a Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington. My graduate (Northern Arizona University) and initial post-doctoral (University of Vermont) research focused on the social behavior and ecology of jays and ravens. I was especially interested in communication, social organization, and foraging behavior. My current research brings this behavioral approach to pressing conservation issues including conservation of endangered species, urban ecology, and the varied connections between crows and people. I enjoy blending biology, conservation, and anthropology to suggest that human and crow cultures have co-evolved. My most recent work applies a neurobiological perspective to understand the amazing feats of corvids (crows, ravens, jays and their kin).

Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard's band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all - a treasure-troving dragon named Smaug.
In this fantasy classic, master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkein creates a bewitching world filled with delightful creatures and thrilling dangers. Narrator Rob Inglis will hold listeners of all ages spellbound with his skillful portrayal of hobbits, dwarves, and enchanted beasts.

"Victory after all, I suppose!"
There are a rare handful of children's books and fantasy novels that definitely deserve to be experienced in different ways (books, movies, audio) and at different times (youth, middle age, etc). I remember my first exposure to this wonderful piece of high fantasy as a child. I loved the world Tolkien created and the way he was able to balance fantasy, poetry, humor and drama. I read it again during the whole 'Lord of the Rings' (LOTR) movie period, and now I've just listened to it on Audible with my own kids in anticipation of taking them to the movie. Wow!
When judging 'the Hobbit', it is tempting to grade it straight against the LOTR trilogy. There is a trap, however, in reading 'the Hobbit' AFTER reading the LOTR. While these works by Tolkien are obviously related, they are very, very different. Tolkien's approach, tone, style and intended audience was a different. If you separate LOTR from 'the Hobbit', gently, it is easier to see the greatness of 'the Hobbit' on its own.
As an adult, I now view 'the Hobbit' more as a Bildungsroman rather than a traditional quest novel. Listening and reading this with my kids, I found myself once more transported not just to middle-earth, but back to my own youth and innocence.
I love books! All kinds... classics, mysteries, Christian fiction, suspense and action! I'm also a sucker for anything romantic. ;) And just recently started getting into some non-fiction, philosophical books.
"Absolutely Amazing."
I am so glad that this is finally available on Audible! The book is one of my favorites, great all ages. Full of elves, dwarfs, dragons, wizards, goblins, giant spiders... Absolutely fun and engrossing.
I love the narrator as well. He brings the characters to life and his voice is very pleasant to listen to.
Anyone can, and should, enjoy this book. It was written for everyone! As another reviewer said, this is a book (and series) that defined the genre of fantasy. I can't wait to listen to all of them.
And THANK YOU Audible for, when finally releasing the series, and knowing it would be popular, having each book only 1 credit. Certainly worth more, but it means that people who haven't read these amazing books are more likely to take the leap and find themselves enchanted.
I plan on fully enjoying the next 65 hours and 17 minutes of my listening.
It's simple really, I am just a guy looking to enjoy the writing and reading talents of others while raising my family the best I can, just Like most everyone else!!!
"A grand literary adventure!"
What a comforting audiobook. How nice it is when you buy an audiobook that repays you with a great story and a comforting and riviting reader/actor. I had never read "The Hobbit" before so I had only a vague familiarity of the characters to start my literary adventure, but let me tell you how wonderful and exciting it was to go along with Bilbo, Gandalf, (and the Dwarves) Thorin, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, Oin, Gloin, Ori, Dori, Nori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. We met up with the Elves, Wargs, Goblins, Trolls, Humans and Smaug the dragon who lives in the Mountain that he had stolen from the Dwarves many years before. Oh I miss it already. I guess it's a great thing that I have a bad memory so I can enjoy this one again before too long (LOL). I refuse to spoil the story for you so I will have to leave off after adding that I hope you give this book a chance, that is only if your up for a grand literary adventure.
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Even more fun on audio"
I've lost count of the times I've read the Hobbit, but picked it up on audio with the deal of day. What a delight! I'm so happy to add this to my audio library now. The master, JRR Tolkien never fails to enchant and this is a really nicely done audio with the songs actually sung and special, fitting voices for the sweet, the mysterious, and the scary inhabitants of Middle Earth. If you have read it before, try it again on audio. If you haven't read it, why not???? Great for audiences of any age.
"Absolutely the BEST"
Rob Inglis's narration is clear and crisp with characters finely enunciated--from the individual dwarfs to Bilbo, from Gandalf to the spiders and the dragon! This reading is better than any dramatization (although there are some good ones) because it combines the best of narration with the value of the unabridged text. Inglis also sings the poetry--haunting and stirring melodies performed beautifully. In a way, Inglis paints the text vocally in the manner that Alan Lee painted the text visually. I am thrilled that audible has made the recordings of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series available in the US. Worth every penny/credit!!
Say something about yourself!
"The Hobbit. What else needs to be said?"
It is hard to believe its been over 75 years since this was originally published, giving birth to the high fantasy realm of literature. This is a timeless masterpiece that I would highly recommend everyone to experience in its written form.
Rob Inglis does a good job with the narration and I was surprised at the quality of his singing. However the task of singing these songs is a daunting one to say the least! I must admit that a few times I basically ignored the tune, and concentrated on the words themselves to grasp Tolkien's intent.
It seemed as though the actual recording of the reading could have been a bit higher quality, as there were several, albeit quite minor, issues with the recording that kept the performance from achieving its fifth star. This being said, even if you have read the book before, this recording is an experience that you should not miss!

"Quite a journey"
I read this book the first time many years ago. I was hooked instantly, and went on to read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I have loved these books ever since.
It was great this time 'round to have it read to me by a fabulous narrator. As I have read other reviews, I was struck by how many people were lucky enough to have a parent read this to them as children, or to read it along with a parent. I did not have that experience and am envious of it. So having Mr. Inglis read it to me is second best. That is not to say his reading is anything but amazing! and I also loved his singing of the songs. I want to believe he made the melodies up himself.
All in all, I was charmed again by this book, by the characters, the journey, the deep meaning, and the flow of Tolkein's writing. I rarely reread fiction, but this one is, and will be in the future, and exception to my rule.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Gather Around and Listen!"
If ever a book was meant to be read aloud, it's this one! The storyteller is a tremendously important part of "The Hobbit", and Inglis just does a wonderful job enthralling us all with this adventure.
The tone and significance of this work is very different from that of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. As long as you recognize that and accept "The Hobbit" for the children's book it basically is, you will enjoy this version of a classic. And, when it comes to a good tale, there's a child in each of us who will absolutely love it!
"Almost perfect"
What can I say? The story's almost incomparable, so let me switch to commending Rob Inglis' performance. I tend to shy away from dramatizations, but Inglis' delivery is mostly narration. He does just enough variation in delivery to make the characters distinctive without resorting to silly vocal tics. It's masterfully done and a great example of how a good narrator can enhance a book just as easily as a poor one can ruin it.
Addicted to audiobooks & podcasts. 5 Stars=I Loved It, 4 Stars=Enjoyed it Thoroughly, 3=Kinda Good, 2=Bad/Boring, 1=Complete Waste of Credit
I tried to read Tolkien when I was young but it just didn't hold my attention - too many weird names (I hate when I don't know how to pronounce a name in my head) and songs and maps to keep track of. Even though I've seen all the movies (and the animated version of The Hobbit of course), I've always felt left out - I knew that true Tolkien fans had some inner level of cool that I lacked. Now, I am SO glad I missed out as a kid because it made listening to the audio version so much better! The narrator is perfect and of course the writing is superior. I am going to listen to the rest of them and really hope they are as good as The Hobbit.

HTC is compensating with its own user interface adjustments, but the Flyer
won't be able to run tablet apps that require Android 3.0 unless it gets an upgrade. Still, with

Climb Every Mountain with Google Maps
The Guardian newspaper has published a visualisation by data scientist Robert Mundigi exploring the world's 50 highest peaks.
Climb Every Mountain features a clickable (non Google) map of the 50 summits that is synchronised with a Google Map to show the satellite images of each mountain. The visualisation also features data about each mountain's prominence and elevation.
All the different data panels in the visualisation are interlinked so that the Google Map always displays the mountain whose data is currently being explored.

Alexey Florov was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, and has a background in working with fine materials. His attention to even the slightest details of craftsmanship accompanied with his skill for problem solving and hand tooling made him a valuable asset to the Russian antiquities market, where he focused on repairing and restoring museum-quality furniture. After moving to the Chicago area in 1992, Alex found work in the industrial design industry as a model maker for various market products. Working in many different materials, he was challenged by his father-in-law to make a pipe in 2004, which is what started his secondary career as one of the highest-skilled pipe artisans in the world. Few others equal his enthusiasm and charisma for the art.
Each Florov pipe usually begins with a sketch, which Alex finds himself doing constantly at work, on napkins, or any other time an idea pops into his head for a shape or engineering detail. Primarily using a milling machine to drill precision holes in excellent briar, Alex is one of the few artisans in the world who carves most of the pipe with razor-sharp hand chisels. By working with such hand tools, Alex is able to create very detailed edges and concaved areas on a pipe that a sanding disk would not allow. His pipes are each graced with hand-cut vulcanite stems that have hand-turned vulcanite tenons and are either sandblasted or smooth (the Slonim being his highest grade). Some accents favored by Alex include bamboo, boxwood, horn, and any other material the pipe maker falls in love with.

The receptionist at my hostel tells me this beer purports to be made with 'very special water'.
A: Slightly dulled copper body with a lovely white head and great lacing.
S: Generic American IPA smell – orange peel and earthy.
T: Nice and bitter, earthy, sharp and snappy. Dry aswell, but the orange peel finish suggests sweetness. Some tea in there.
M: Quite fizzy.
O: A decent but very generic American IPA.

12oz bottle poured into my little hotel tumbler
Pours clear golden with a coppery ting, medium sized light beige head that clumps and clings along the edge of the glass, plenty of carbonation action. Smell is grapefruit and flowers, but mild.
Taste is grapefruit rind bitterness with some orangey sweetness behind it.
Mouthfeel is dry and light. Overall, I like it. Not terribly exciting, but good.

This is my 200th different brew! Having a UK pint of this cask brew at Vivo in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Clazziquai Project is singing a funky Korean slow-jam into my ears as I enjoy this foggy Gucci leather-colored pale ale. Nice and frothy, cream-colored head on this with a mouthfeel like whipped butter. Wonderful hop scent strolling over the rim of this brew. Beautiful lacing around the glass like a hyena, all mixed up between spots and stripes and random patterns. Keeps a memorable residue on my lips, inviting me to keep tasting it in its traces. Mikan orange and yuzu come through this brew... a distinctly Japanese flavor. As I drink this, it gets smoother and smoother like egg pudding. The lacing reminds me of the varying strata of the Grand Canyon now, telling the story of my sips like the eons of our land's history. As the beer starts to take effect, Crazy Ken Band suavely comes singing of Monte Carlo and Yokohama, coincidentally referencing the brew I'm drinking now. Perfect timing. The upbeat track matches the increasing tingle through my thighs that makes me want to shake my hips on a dance floor. As I read the description of this beer here at Vivo, it says this brew was in the category for the 2011 World Beer Award for World Best IPA. It is definitely an excellent brew in my opinion. Cornelius' "Like a Rolling Stone" comes on as I finish this fruity, hoppy, complex, wonderful brew. Highly recommended as a whole and definitely compared to other American IPAs.

The ACLU filed the lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court on behalf of The Lost Ogle, a satirical local news and entertainment website.
The Lost Ogle joined with several news organizations in a request for documents from the governor's office related to her decisions to reject a state health insurance exchange and Medicaid expansion under the federal health care law.
The governor's office released thousands of documents, but withheld about 100 pages of materials that her General Counsel Steve Mullins claims are "privileged."

Manchester United scored in the 7th minute against Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford. Then Connor Sammon was sent off for being kind of near Michael Carrick. It comes as no surprise, then, that United demolished their opposition. Dimitar Berbatov scored an impressive hattrick and Antonio Valencia got a fifth as the Latics were put to the sword.
They never really had a chance, of course - despite good performances against Chelsea and Liverpool at the DW Stadium Wigan couldn't have had much hope of getting a result against Manchester United away from home, and they played reasonably well until Sammon's harsh red card. Still, despite only playing against 10 men it was an impressive performance from an injury-hit United side.
The 5-0 win takes them to level on points with league leaders Manchester City and within five points of goal differential, which would have been pretty improbable sounding at the beginning of the month, when United were struggling and City surging. The defending champions' title challenge has well and truly ignited.

We the undersigned strongly believe that the area currently reserved for parks and recreation in North Fremantle should remain so. The WAPC intends to amend the Metropolitan Region Scheme for land in the local governments of Fremantle and Mosman Park, thereby transferring the zoning from Parks and Recreation reservation to the Urban zone. This will simply create money for developers and housing for a small suburb of rich people. Undoubtedly the buildings will also be as soulless as the Nth Bank development in Nth Fremantle. We demand that this area is turned into parkland for all the people of Perth to be able to enjoy regardless of their economic status.

Ledisi finds herself with CD 'Pieces of Me'
- Written by Bobbi Booker
- Published in Lifestyles
With her new CD "Pieces of Me," Ledisi proves that she is a woman to know. Loaded with emotion and charged with unparalleled soul, this recording adds another dimension to the persona the singer has been sharing with audiences since her explosive entrance on the music scene a few short years ago. She is like a Sharon Jones-meets-Nina Simone and has an amazing voice and an eclectic sense of style. The vocalist has performed twice at the White House under the enthusiastic patronage of the First Lady (who is one of her biggest fans and swears she listens to Ledisi everyday). "Pieces of Me" is a natural progression for the singer — with each song on the CD bursting with love, intimacy and self-assurance.
"Imagine some of the characteristics of Shug Avery from 'The Color Purple,'" Ledisi says playfully. "She is fiery, expressive, spiritual and uninhibited. Well, I would say this is my Shug Avery-like project," she adds with her trademark laughter. Anyone who's seen her dynamic live show or follows her on Twitter knows this lively and clever side of the singer, and "Pieces of Me" delivers all that and more.
"This project is more layered," says Ledisi. "All of the songs reveal aspects of the confident woman I am becoming. It's a discovery of another side of me."
Following her last two critically acclaimed releases — 2007's breakthrough hit "Lost and Found," which was nominated for two Grammy awards including Best New Artist, and 2009's rock & funk, attention-stealing "Turn Me Loose," which also garnered two Grammy nods and a No. 1 debut position on the Billboard R&B chart — "Pieces of Me" is a portrait of an artist possessing an involuntary penchant for growth. Delivered by an unmatched voice in its exquisite prime, this CD marks Ledisi's shining moment.
"What I love about (my new CD) is that there is a happy medium between the old school and the new school where everyone can enjoy it in one household, so it's really cool," said the singer. "I love the response from my female fans, but I'm surprised at my male fans' response as well. The album is more vocal and open and sensual, so it's doing something right. That's the part: to please everyone. I love that the songwriting also has resonated with people."
The title track is an introspective look at a woman discovering her unique offerings to the world. Co-written by Ledisi and in-demand songwriter Claude Kelly (Fantasia, Carrie Underwood), she sings "Like every woman I know/I'm complicated for sure/But when I love/I love till there's no love no more." "That's what a woman does," she states. "That is power and strength. It's okay to celebrate being a woman."
Demonstrating that she can be just as confident as she is loving, Ledisi flips the script on "Hate Me," a bluesy, juke-joint-worthy track, singing "I know it's hard to understand/Sometimes a woman wanna act like a man/And when it feels like I'm running things/I know you 'bout to lose your mind." "There is great honesty in this song. There are some independent women out there who don't need permission to be themselves. Writing this song helped me to be okay with the more dominant side of myself."
For Ledisi, it was a long journey to that "a-ha" moment. Born in New Orleans and raised in Oakland, Calif., where she says she developed ambition, drive and an appreciation for opera, gospel and R&B, Ledisi struggled for years. After constant rejection from recording companies, she and a partner formed their own label on which they released two independent albums, both of which gained national attention, resulting in her 2007 major label deal with Verve. Pieces of Me is a culmination of the challenges she's experienced and lessons she's learned.
"Before I started working on this album, I had to figure out what I wanted to offer, not only musically, but also spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. That meant I had to finally embrace the totality of me. Now, I see the greatness in me and that I have much to offer to this world."
Many of the songs on this album are evidence of this new attitude, including the barefaced "Shut Up," produced by Mike City (Bilal, Kelly Price). "I wrote this while driving in L.A., listening to the track which I'd had for two months. Someone cut me off on the freeway and I was irate. For some reason, I started thinking about what I wish I could have said to all of the people who said I was never going to succeed by being me. Now, I have a song for all of the naysayers."
Claude Kelly also lent his platinum pen to two other cuts, including the celebratory "Bravo" — which finds Ledisi declaring her new outlook on life — and "Shine," a celebratory ode to relationships. "It took me and a whole bunch of people to find that medium, and I just know that I'm in the middle so I want to display that middle on audio," said Ledisi. "It's just great to have songs that celebrate you, celebrate life and relate to people. And I've studied a lot of the greats — you have to study in order to find that medium, and it's a lot of hard work put into it. I'm inspired by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, The Beatles, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan — the list goes on and on. Abby Lincoln was a wonderful writer. Nina Simone was incredible. People love songs that relate to them; that is feels like, 'Oh, she wrote this for me.' And I love that — and it helps people understand other people.
It is clear who Ledisi has become: a complex and colorful woman who is open, self-assured, creative, unafraid and, most of all, inspirational. "Pieces of Me"defines this moment in her life. "Recording this album was my therapy. Every aspect of it is who I am. But, not all of me, just 'Pieces of Me.'"
After the highest charting release of her career, "Pieces of Me," which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and was the No. 1 iTunes R&B Album, four-time Grammy-nominated Ledisi is headlining her first tour and will be performing at Temple Performing Arts Center on October 22. Fans can keep up-to-date with Ledisi's tour schedule and ticket purchase info on her official website, www.ledisi.com or TicketMaster.com.
