Africa's leading Film and Television Programmes Expo known as BOBTV which holds annually is back for its ninth edition.
The international event which attracts over 5,000 delegates including content-providers, programme developers, and auxiliary industries practitioners from around the world provides an all-round platform for business networking.
Organisers say the Expo' will also attract top government personalities, policy influencers, opinion moulders as well as notable figures from the Nigerian movie and music scene.
The three-day event which will showcase various exhibitions on the creative industries, provide master classes, market screening, capacity building and business networking will hold between Tuesday, March 13th and Friday, March 16th, 2012 at the Ladi Kwali convention centre, Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Abuja.
"The past eight editions have been amazing in many ways. We are convinced that, now more than ever, we need to begin to see the entertainment industries as creative industries and bring about worthy growth" says Amaka Igwe.
According to the UN Creative economy report 2012 "the Creative Industries are proliferating in Europe and North America, revitalizing the economy of urban centres through cultural and social developments offering attractive jobs, particularly to young people. The turnover of the European creative industries amounted to 654 billion Euros in 2003, growing 12.3 per cent faster than the overall economy of the European Union and employing over 5.6 million people."
Igwe continues "the aim of this year's Expo is to work towards a repositioning of the Nigerian entertainment industries which is rapidly growing in Nigeria and Africa, to a more robust and sure footed Creative Economy in line with world best practices by 2015".
Apart from exhibitions, trainings, workshops, conferences and seminars, BOBTV has since inception, recognized various individuals who have excelled in their service to various industries and rewarded them with the BOBTV Honours List Awards. Past awardees include: Mr. Peter Igho, Executive Director, NTA (2007), Mr. Andy Amenechi - Film Director (2007), Liz Benson - Actor (2007). In 2008, Late Mr. Sam Loco Efe, Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, and Dr. Umar Farouk also received awards. In 2009, pioneering Nollywood producer, Okechukwu Ogunjiofor, Lekan Ogunbanwo, Nkem Owoh, Bukky Ajayi, Zainab Bewal, Efere Ozakor and the Cast and crew of MNET's Jacob's Cross also received awards.
Last year's BOBTV Honours list includes Chairman Silverbird Group Ben Murray-Bruce, Nollywood movie marketer Ossy Affason, copyright lawyer Efere Ozako and Make-up and special effects Virtuoso Dagogo Diminas.
This year's edition will begin with a Music Fiesta organized by Storm 360 and hosted by Celebrities. Past editions have been hosted by the likes of the Bayelsa State Culture Ministry, Soundcity and Lagos State Tourism Board. There have also been performances from top artists like P-Square, 2Face, M.I, Mamuzee and many others.
"BOBTV 2012 seeks to prepare Africa to address "The Content Question in a Digital Economy" and expects the participation of various telecommunication services like mobile networks, digital broadcasters, ISP's, Broadband services, and DTT platforms. Workshops and seminars will also be organized for participants at the Expo." Executive producer Amaka Igwe says.
BOBTV started in 2002 by the pioneers of the Nigerian Film and TV Programmes Industry who wanted to create structures that facilitate the foundation and exchange of high quality TV programmes. The first edition was held in Lagos at the Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, supported by the National Broadcasting Commission and Multichoice Nigeria.
Subsequently, the demand to participate required a much bigger venue and BOBTV moved to the Ladi Kwali convention Centre in Abuja; the biggest convention centre in Nigeria today.
By 2005, the African film and Television Programmes expo had become an international event, attracting visitors, participants and resource persons from Canada, Zimbabwe, Namibia, England, United States, South Africa, Ghana and many more.
This also revealed the wide gap in the infrastructure that should support the growth of the audio-visual industry in Africa. "BOBTV is always fun and I'm looking forward to even more fun this year as we exchange ideas and reinvigorate the system'', Amaka concludes.
According to the organizers, a schedule of activities for this year's edition will be released next week.

"Taiye, Kehinde" are nomenclatures for Twins from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria but on this song, Harrysong takes it from the angle of searching for love and a soulmate regardless of what it takes.The song was unleashed today - Friday, February 24, 2012 and I believe it is worth copping.
Full name Harrison Okiri, Harrysong is a talented singer, songwriter and voice coach. He is signed to Questionmark Entertainment owned by Kevin Lucciano Gabriel.

Encomium weekly, Nigeria's foremost soft-sell and awards company has announced plans to celebrate its 15th anniversary with their annual revelry of thanksgiving - The White Gig!
The Lagos- based publication says they are leaving no stones unturned in celebrating 15 years of absolute excellence, "We know that absolutely nothing guarantees success than standing firm and strong, we are aware that being lucky, persevering and long suffering, being smart and hard working count for a lot. But grace, the grace of God and your karma come into play when it concerns endeavors" Kunle Bakare publisher of Encomium says.
So on Sunday March 18, 2012 at The Haven in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, the annual White Gig will not only play host to achievers from all walks of life, but also kick off a series of events marking 15 years of excitement, adventure, achievements, hard work and God's grace.
Apart from the White Gig, Kunle says other gigs on the card include The Green and White Groove, The Black and White Ball and an end of the year party. We're told a special publication to commemorate the anniversary is also in the works.
Since its debut in 2007 The White Gig has become one of the most anticipated events in Nigeria's social calendar. With celebrities and friends clad in gorgeous all white ensembles, the atmosphere is blindingly different, and of course there is enough to eat and drink "We can't wait to pamper our guests" Bakare says.
Encomium's White gig has hosted many stars over the years, including Sarah Sosan, Dr. Muiz Banire, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Funke Akindele, Genevieve Nnaji, Omowunmi Akinnifesi, Julius Agwu, T.W.O, Princess, Sunny Neji, Dayo Adeneye and Keke Ogungbe
Others include Alariwo, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Stephanie Okereke, Zizi Cardow, Segun Arinze, Bisi Olatilo, Frank Edoho, Prince Bisi Olatilo and Nikki Laoye.
Tagged "TAKE THE STEPS, WALK THE TALK", the 6-hour event will kick off with an elaborate red carpet reception. The iconic DJ Jimmy JATT will guide guests through soft, smooth and at times wild music; and guests will have an opportunity to dance and prance from 4PM to 10PM.
In its fifth year, the White Gig started when Encomium marked her 10th Anniversary in 2007. This year's event is supported by Kiss Events, Jatt INC, Couture Cakes, BlackHouse Media, and Replica Digital. It will take place at The Haven from 4PM to 10PM on Sunday March 18, 2012.
Founded in May 1997, Encomium Weekly has gradually but steadily risen to become the the celebrity journal to beat and copy. The magazine captures the triumphs and travails of celebrities, from music to movies, politics to big business, and those who dominate the social circuit. It has developed from being a purely black and white magazine with only color covers to one parading many pages of colour; and the most respected magazine in its category.

It's official! - Grammy award winning American musician Robert Barisford Brown (Bobby Brown) is coming to Nigeria for the first time ever. And he's making the trip with his pop group New Edition!
The R&B Singer, Song writer and dancer confirmed his appearance for the high budget concert organized by R28 events in an audio statement released on Monday from his base in America. The concert is scheduled for Friday March 9 in Lagos and Sunday March 11, in Port Harcourt.
In the audio message, Bobby Brown confirms he'd be in Nigeria in March "We'll be rocking the stage live in Nigeria live on March 9 and 11. Don't you dare miss it."
This is the first time New Edition will be performing in Nigeria, a city where they have millions of fans and followers.
According to their management, the former group members will travel to Nigeria with a crew of 50 band members and associates.
And as fans, the music industry and R&B lovers gear up for the event that has been tagged "The show of the year", the organizers have confirmed that 2face, Banky W, Duncan Mighty are getting set to perform alongside the visiting group.
Other co-headliners include Omawumi, eLDee, Burna Boy and Modenine.
"Music fans who appreciate the quality of good musical performances will be thrilled by the collection of the finest musicians we are putting together, this is a concert you don't want to miss," Gbolahan Balogun MD of R28 Events says.
R28 Events is a Lagos-based events solutions company set up to deliver simple, insightful and creative solutions through events, experimental marketing and corporate hospitality. The company says they are organizing the two-city concert as a way of redefining the quality of events in the country. 'This promises to be a world-class concert, not like anything you've seen here before. Both in terms of production, and the quality of talent…'
Bobby has been touring the world with his group New Edition since last year. Although he cancelled a performance in honor of Whitney Houston two weeks back, the event producers say "Bobby Brown considers performing as therapy to get him through a difficult time. He wrote to us last week that he'd like to do this concert in memory of Whitney, and we said fine".
The Lagos and Port Harcourt concerts will be dedicated to Bobby's ex-wife Whitney Houston who passed on February 11. 2012.
Bobby was openly emotional at a show in Mississippi on Saturday February 11, 2012 following news of Whitney's death, then pulled out of a New Edition performance in Nashville on Sunday February 12, 2012 and flew to Los Angeles to be with his daughter.
New Edition is made up of Ronnie Devoe, Ricky Bell, Mike Bevins, Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown. The group's hits include "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now", and "Mr. Telephone Man"
Produced by R28 events, the concert will hold at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Friday March 9, 2012 and at the Polo Club, Port Harcourt on Sunday March 11, 2012.

THIS IS REDKAD - "Follow Dey Go"
Today (February 16), is the birthday of one of one of Nigeria's fast growing rapper, Redkad. And to mark his day, he launched two singles - "Follow Dey Go" and UnderAttack". However, we shall be featuring only one of the songs which is "Follow Dey Go"... download/play listen and tell us what you think about it.
We just bumbed on an audio recording announcing that Bobby Brown will be in Nigeria with New Edition in March!!!
Bobby has been touring the world with his group new edition since last year. Although he cancelled a performance in honor of Whitney Houston this week, it looks like the singer plans to join his crew for a gig in Nigeria next month.
"Whaddup Nigeria, its Bell Biv Devoe season, and this is your man Big Ronnie Devoe, aka what about Ronnie, and I'm coming along with my boys Ricky Bell and Mike Bevins, we are not coming alone, we are coming with New Edition Alumni Bobby Brown" Big Randevouz member of New Edition says.
Bobby Brown coming to Nigeria is a big deal – dude's never been here. Matter of fact he's never been to Africa. And that he's coming weeks after Whitney passed? Is he going to perform Whitney tributes, and will he come with his daughter, Bobbi Kristina?

I was in an editorial meeting with my colleagues two days ago (Monday 13) and one of the items on the minute was choosing stories for the next edition of the magazine. My colleague mentioned an interview he conducted with 2Face where the star talked about his kids, women in his life and marriage intention…
The last time I checked - Annie Macaulay was on a location playing out a role in an upcoming Nollywood movie and according to a close friend of hers - on Monday (13) Morning, her BB status read "I miss Ene"… apparently because she was far from her daughter.
Now, certain situations cannot be analyzed mathematically but I guess, Annie returned eventually to spend Val' with her daughter and family. It is also natural that she would hook up with 2Face if he was available. Moreover, they were together on Tuesday evening - February 7 to be precise.
When the gist about 2Face proposing to Annie Macaulay crawled in on Twitter today, most people thought it was a joke until closer friends (Peter-Psquare, Ruggedman and May D) and other eyewitnesses, present at the scene confirmed with pictures - very sweet. 2Face is a public figure – it is almost impossible for him to do anything without people talking or spreading it. The 'proposal ceremony' took place at Club 10 at the early hours of today (Wednesday, February 15).
Earlier this year, words broke out about 2Face and Pero expecting another baby together – baby number six for Mr. Idibia and the third with Ms. Pero Adeniyi. This news came as a surprise to most fans who would have thought 2Face was done with having children. But then again I asked – who is to blame? My answer – none of the above. I believe, like every sexually active couple in the absence of contraceptives and condom, pregnancy is imminent. 2Face's song "Rain Drops" speaks volumes, if you know what I mean.
With all sense of responsibility, we should compliment Annie Macaulay who many refer to as the real 'African Queen'. She has been a part of 2Face for over a decade and trailing stuffs that have gone down over the years, we can say destiny is about to put everything in place.
Even though, Annie was like the closest 'off and on' girlfriend of 2Face, Sumbo Ajaba was the first to bear children for the star and it is apparent that Sumbo is not a fan of the media and the social circle. She is said to be born again right now and deep into church activities.
Pero Adeniyi's affair with 2Face was scandalous due to words that she was married and already had a child with her husband. Oh well, the marriage crashed and not too long, she got pregnant for 2Face and had the third baby for the multiple award-winning artist. I'm sure you know the rest of the story… how Annie was pregnant and had a miscarriage to how she got pregnant again and eventually had Ene Idibia. Pero had a second child to make it five for 2Face and yes – she's due again in April.
Now, Annie has been announced as the soon to be 'Mrs. Idibia' and with some of the pictures shared of the moment, it appears, Ms Macaulay was expecting this day and was overwhelmed by its eventuality. Pero's reaction to this news is unknown right now but I can bet this will be one hell of a 'tablet' to swallow, considering her possessive concern for 2Face and past brawl with Annie. Fingers crossed in anticipation for a sequel.
Like any other woman who could have been in this position today, I advice Annie to treat 2Face's proposal like the electoral process that says: REGISTER, VOTE AND PROTECT YOUR VOTE. A lot of us applied this phrase during the elections but some politicians are unpredictable, they have a tendency to forget what they promised yesterday… (readers, please decipher at your own risk).
From the Jarmzone – we wish 2Baba and Annie the best. I guess we should also expect the wedding date and more babies after.

Top African record label, Grafton Records, known for mentoring and developing raw African talents in Nigeria especially in Port Harcourt revealed its latest act, Mr 2Kay in 2011 and he's still on his mission to take over the Nigerian music scene with his unique style of street music!
Real name Abiye David Jumbo, Mr 2Kay, has had his fair share of the hardship of life and sees himself as a motivational artist who inspires other struggling youths through his music. He grew up in the rough areas of Port Harcourt and at a very young age, helped his struggling mother sell kerosene by hawking on the streets just to make ends meet for the family.
2Kay attended Community Secondary School, Bonny Island and then moved to Port Harcourt in the bid to enter into the university but this proved unsuccessful due to lack of funds. He later made his way back to his native, Bonny Island to take advantage of the booming oil and gas business in the South South and get a job that would help him save enough money for his university education.
During this time, with music still in his mind, he made ends meet by drawing portraits of people and selling it to them for cash. He later secured an employment during the constructing of the Nigerian NLNG project which helped him raise enough money to continue his education. 2Kay later gained admission into the University of Port Harcourt on a part-time course in Visual Arts. However he had to drop out of school again as he ran out of funds and decided to finally pursue his true love - music.
He went after the music industry with a strong passion and objective to make his music known. He attended various talent hunt competitions hoping to "catch the eye" of a producer or a label. He finally caught the attention of Grafton Records CEO, Tonye Ibiama in a competition that selected local acts that would perform at the 2009 Bonny Beach carnival. Finally, the deal was sealed and a delighted Tonye knew that he had found a diamond fit for the new Grafton Streetz label.
"This man had paid his dues where it really mattered, on the street. There was no fake with 2kay, it was all real-life experience going into that sound. That intertwined with his undeniable talent and hunger is why I had to have this guy on our label. There is nobody going to work harder to make his music work for the audience than 2kay. And people are really going to appreciate and love the passion and commitment he brings. And believe me, this guy can bring it big style." CEO Grafton Records, Tonye Ibiama emphasizes.
With the release of his debut single, "Run This Town" which scored major success across the Niger Delta and the South South, 2Kay plans to make a mark with his music in the Nigerian music scene. He also got the regions highest selling artiste, Duncan Mighty to work with him on a remix of the song called "We run this town".
His follow up single called "Waterside boy" established Mr. 2Kay as one of Port Harcourt next rated artistes getting him attention from music lovers and the media and he performed in major concerts that held in Port Harcourt and neighbouring cities.
2Kay is seen as the hope of the youths from the ghetto as he was once part of that life and is now aiming to reach the highest point of his career.
"Throughout my days growing up, I encountered a lot of trying times especially when I was trying to put my music out there for people to listen to and appreciate. My music is all about giving hope to young thriving artistes out there who have no means of making their music heard", Mr. 2Kay explains.
Grafton Records has worked with various artists like Channel O Awards winning De Indispensables and M Trill as well as Port Harcourt based artists like Tha Ibz, Jesus Boy, Dj Big Mouth along with Mr. 2Kay. Grafton has also hooked up with international artist, Junior Reid, the US-based Jamaican super star of former Grammy award winning group Black Uhuru. Junior Reid provided vocal support on De Indispensables number one hit, "I am Free".
Mr. 2Kay plans to release his debut album this February, titled "Waterside Boy" under the stable of Grafton records and the album features some of Nigeria's top artists including Duncan Mighty, Ruggedman, Lyrical, Double K, Big Mouth, Valo among many others.

So I have been up and about on this sunny Wednesday to hustle for my daily bread as usual – hopping from one meeting to another okada to justify what comes in and even if nothing comes in, the clouds can bear witness that it saw me amongst many heads that stepped under it today. Tomorrow is another day.
Getting home, work continues – oh yes the hustle goes round the clock and paper works are not done on the road. I've gat emails to read, send and reply. Part of my job description is receiving songs, new song releases and press releases to spread the word on the Jarmzone.
One of the songs that caught my attention today is "Oh Nana" by this upcoming, yet talented artist by the name El Prince. This apparently is an official re-introductory single and from all indications, this dude sounds as one that has been around for a while. Adept beat chef, Del B prepared the beat to this song, giving it a groovy tempo and a clear excuse for listeners to either bop their head or pick a dance step to further express appreciation for it.
"Oh Nana" is a love song but rendered with intent to appeal a wider audience; hence it will also come handy to club DJs and private party organizers. It has that sing-along factor and the repetition of the hook makes it stick in your ears. Delivered in English with a touch of Ibo and Yoruba in between, "Oh Nana" if well promoted and as fast as possible, should find shelter in the hearts of music lovers across the country especially at a this time, when there's not a lot of new songs in rotation.
Real name Prince Chimaobi Adieze is a singer-songwriter, dancer, instrumentalist and entertainer. He started singing and playing instruments like the guitar, piano and drums from the age of nine. Since the 90s', he has been crawling his way up Nigeria's music scene, performing hooks for other artists, and appearing as young talent alongside veterans - Daddy Showkey, Marvelous Benji and other great names from the star-studded Ajegunle area of Lagos, Nigeria.
El Prince is signed to Awestar Entertainment and his other works include "Liki Liki" and "Giri Die" ft. Igho. He already has a growing fan base across the country and he regularly organizes gigs in his hood for other upcoming talents.
Don Cornelius, 'Soul Train' Creator, Is Dead
A person called the police from Mr. Cornelius's house on Mulholland Drive in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood just before 4 a.m. and reported shots had been fired, a police spokesman, Chris No, said. When officers arrived, they were let into the house and found Mr. Cornelius lying lifeless on the floor with a gunshot wound to the head that appeared to be self-inflicted, said the Los Angeles County assistant chief coroner, Ed Winter.
Mr. Cornelius was taken to Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:56 a.m., Mr. Winter said. "It was reported as a suicide, a self-inflicted wound," he said. "I have investigators at the hospital."
"Soul Train" was one of the longest-running syndicated shows in television history and played a critical role in spreading the music of black America to the world, offering wide exposure to musicians like James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson in the 1970s and 1980s.
Don Cornelius conducted us on the "hippest trip in America" for more than two decades on Soul Train, and in the process shone a light on R&B stars that mostly performed in the shadows of the mainstream. At the same time, he invited the nation to a multicultural, cross-generational dance party that was broadcast into living rooms every Saturday morning.
With his smooth, resonant baritone, Cornelius introduced hundreds of stars to the TV audience, including Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Jerry Butler, Marvin Gaye, The O'Jays and Barry White, while overseeing a colorful menagerie of partiers who influenced dance and fashion. It opened a window to African-American culture that had received scant media exposure.
"Back then, there was no targeted television and I just had the sense that television shouldn't be that way," Cornelius told USA TODAY in a rare interview in 2010, when the show's 40th anniversary was celebrated with a VH1 documentary. "The primary mission of the show was to provide TV exposure for people who would not get it otherwise. People who didn't get invited to The Mike Douglas Show, or (Johnny) Carson. There was no ethnic television, just general-market television, which meant mostly white people."
"I am shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden passing of my friend, colleague, and business partner Don Cornelius," said Quincy Jones in a statement. "Don was a visionary pioneer and a giant in our business. Before MTV, there was Soul Train, that will be (his) great legacy. … His contributions to television, music and our culture as a whole will never be matched. My heart goes out to Don's family and loved ones."
The Rev. Al Sharpton said he was shocked and grief-stricken, "I have known him since I was 19 years old and James Brown had me speak on Soul Train," Sharpton said in a statement from New York. "He brought soul music and dance to the world in a way that it had never been shown and he was a cultural game changer on a global level."
Cornelius developed his brainchild while working as a journalist and DJ in Chicago. Soul Train started in 1970 as a daily after-school dance show on WCIU and it was supported by such local acts as Curtis Mayfield and The Chi-Lites. The show was sponsored by Johnson Products, makers of Afro Sheen, and with owner George Johnson's help, Cornelius was able to move production to Los Angeles for the weekly syndicated show that premiered in 1971. Stations skeptical of the unproven series were won over when Gladys Knight agreed to do the pilot. Other artists were quick to jump on board.
Cornelius would host the show until 1993. The Train stayed on the tracks for another 13 years with assorted hosts. By the time he sold it to MadVision Entertainment in 2008, he had created an empire that included the Soul Train Music Awards and the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
The show, the longest running, first-run, nationally syndicated program in television history, was rife with iconic elements. There was the Soul Train line in which pairs of dancers popped creative dance moves and flashed outrageous fashions on their way down. The Scrabble Board gave two dancers 60 seconds to unscramble the name of a notable African-American entertainer or historical figure.
The dancers became stars in their own right and created moves such as locking, roboting and waacking (later known as voguing) that would be replicated at clubs and parties around the world. Singer Jody Watley and dance partner Jeffrey Daniels, who would become part of the hit-making trio Shalamar, got their start on the show. (Daniels' "backslide" step is credited with influencing Michael Jackson's moonwalk.) So did Rosie Perez (Pineapple Express) and Fred "Rerun" Berry (What's Happening!!).
When it was time to go, the host always reassured viewers with his signature sign-off: "And you can bet your last money, it's all gonna be a stone gas, honey! I'm Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!"

Imaginary Pitch
- by Denise Dietz
This Thursday I fly to Chicago, where I'll be attending a writers conference called LOVE IS MURDER. I'm scheduled for an editor/agent panel, plus a couple of author panels.
And I'll be talking to writers who are looking for a publisher.
Therefore, I thought it might be fun to blog an imaginary pitch session:
DENI (making my pitch): In a tribute to Agatha Christie and the Beatles, the protagonist of my novel, GOTTA SING OR DIE, is an alien from another planet who assumes the face and body of a twenty-year-old and tries out for American Idol. Jaya San makes the top 12 with her original renditions of "I Wanna Borrow Your Hand" and "We All Live in a Yellow Spaceship." A finalist is murdered, then another. Jaya doesn't want to win the competition by default, so she sets out to find the killer…before she, too, gets eliminated. Think: STARMAN meets THE TERMINATOR meets COCOON meets Simon Cowell.
AGENT: What's the genre?
DENI: Genre? I guess you'd call it a "fantasy-mystery."
AGENT: You can't have two genres. Choose one.
DENI: How about a mystery with fantasy elements? Or a fantasy with mystery elements?
AGENT: We'll keep it simple and call it a mystery, okay? Now, let's talk about the future because that's more important than your book. So . . . where do you see yourself in 10 years?
DENI: I see myself writing a Jaya Say series, 26 books, with titles like GOTTA DANCE OR DIE and AMERICA'S TOP ALIEN. I see myself signing a movie option with Spielberg and appearing on Oprah and Ellen. I see mysel—
AGENT: How will you promote your series?
DENI (taken aback): Promote?
AGENT: Yes, promote. That's the first question editors ask.
DENI: Oh. Well, alrighty then. My website, of course. Posting on the DorothyL list every day (3000 members), maybe twice a day. MySpace. Facebook. A movie trailer on YouTube. A 52-state tour. A European tour with Lee Child, Harlan Coben and Marshall Karp. Conferences like Bouchercon, Left Coast Crime, NINC and Westercon. Conventions like ABA. The usual.
AGENT (looking at wristwatch): Our time is up. Why don't you send me 3 chapters and a synopsis?
Tick-tock, tick-tock . . . 3 months later:
Dear Mr. Deitz,
Thank you for submitting GOTTA DANCE. While I like the tie-in to that song from "Singing In The Rain", I'm afraid I'm not enthusiastic enough to work with your book. I did, however, put out a few feelers but Berkley already has a series starring an alien with a green card that tries out for Jeopardy.
Tick-tock, tick-tock . . . 18 months later:
Publishers Weekly starred review: "A fresh, imaginative concept."
Library Journal: "Recommended for readers who are looking for a good mystery with supernatural elements. Denise Dietz lives in B.C."
Kirkus: "…Gotta Sing or Die makes you want to sing and…"
Romantic Times: ****1/2. The steamy romance in GOTTA SING OR DIE left this reviewer breathless."
Harriet Klausner: "Readers will appreciate the part where Jayne Sands assumes her alien shape and Paula Abdul doesn't notice the difference."
DorothyL: I finished GOTTA SING OR DIE last night, and while I liked the book I skipped the sex scenes, so my question is, are sex scenes really necessary in a mystery?
DorothyL response: We discussed sex in mysteries 6 weeks ago, and 2 months before that. Check the archives.
2nd DorothyL response: I don't like mysteries with sex or cussing or dead cats because they can't protect themselves like humans can.
See y'all next month. Warning: I'll probably blog with a Chicago accent

Deni, That was a laugh and a half. The 3 DL posts at the end are out-loud-funny (I refuse to contribute to the glut of lols in cyberspace) and scary-real. You're like Robert B. Parker on estrogen.
LOL at Love is Murder (that one is okay because it means Lots Of Luck).
Denise Dietz says:
January 27th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Thanks for posting, Marshall. I've heard your third book – FLIPPING OUT – will hit the shelves this April. I adored The Rabbit Factory and Blood Thirsty, so I'll be first in line to buy Flipping Out. I'm sure I'll start LOL-ing (and that *is* Laugh Out Loud-ing) from page one.

Thanks for making me smile. Every once in a while we writers have to remember not to take ourselves too seriously.
All the Best,

Jacqueline, thanks for your comment. I haven't "taken myself too seriously" since my first published book, when my Walker editor suggested I second-mortgage my house and go on the road, my car's trunk filled with books. At the time, my PR consisted of handing out bookmarks – with the dinner tab – while waiting tables at The Olive Garden.
Estella says:
January 27th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Thanks! I needed the smile I got from reading your post.
Denise Dietz says:
January 27th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
And I smile – with pleasue – every time I read your comments, Estella. Thank you so much.
Patricia Stoltey says:

Not that I'm behind reading my mail or anything, Deni, but I just found the link to this pitch and came over to take a peek. Am leaving now, still giggling…Pat
Jerry Kaye says:
February 1st, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Thanks for the grin! I'm attending my first conference, signed up for "pitches" – and hadn't a clue! I never did take myself seriously, and still haven't a clue – but plan on having fun anyway! See you there!

Helping you keep up with your favorite Nashville superstars and country music celebrities since 2008. Read today what you'll be talking about tomorrow. TypePad Ashton Shepherd on getting rowdy, feeling 'Seventeen Again' & finding balance: Exclusive tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e552403d2f883301a3fd369280970b 2014-07-21T15:51:19-06:00 2014-07-21T15:50:33-06:00 In the face of pop-country, Ashton Shepherd remains stalwart in her traditional-leanings, blazing her own path on This Is America. With 10 perfectly thoughtful tracks, the album is one of the finest solo female releases in recent years, and the singer-songwriter couldn't be happier. One of the standout tunes is her current single "Seventeen Again," a mature perspective on what it means to be grown. "I'm 27. I have two children, and I've been married since I was 18 years old. I find myself thinking, 'who made these rules I live by?'" Shepherd shares in an exclusive interview with NashvilleGab,... Jason Scott 25 Best Albums of 2013 tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e552403d2f8833019b02a4b569970b 2013-12-13T17:07:58-07:00 2013-12-13T17:07:58-07:00 Country music absolutely thrived this year, and that doesn't include what the mainstream regurgitated out to the masses. No, there will be no Bro-Country records in this "Best Of" piece. In fact, what many of this list's artists are doing is what the mainstream should be doing. When it comes to remarkable storytellers and vocalists, you have to look a lot further than corporate-held radio to get a firm grip on compelling stories of love, loss, heartache and even happiness. While I enjoy plenty of what the mainstream has to offer, I find myself peering deeper within the genre's roots... Jason Scott Ashton Shepherd gets her own cooking show tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e552403d2f88330192ab6ff1ff970d 2013-06-21T20:00:13-06:00 2013-06-21T20:00:13-06:00 Cooking is apparently the new acting for country stars ... everyone's doing it and everyone's getting their own cooking shows, websites, and name-brand food. Trace Adkins has his sausage. Trisha Yearwood has her cooking show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen, and Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman has Kimberly's Simply Southern. Toby Keith has his I Love This Bar & Grill restaurants and his daughter has her recipe website, The Barnyard Bistro. Now there's a new country gal joining the ranks of the professional foodies. Ashton Shepherd announced on Facebook that she's getting a new cooking show on eWave TV. Other happy news!!!!... Shannon Ashton Shepherd let go from record label at same time as Lee Ann Womack tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e552403d2f8833016769429810970b 2012-08-13T20:23:57-06:00 2012-08-13T20:25:02-06:00 Okay, so this is sort of part 2 of this post about the JaneDear Girls breaking up -- something that turns out might have been a surprise to more people than just me. Funny, I don't think I've ever read one short story and got more out of it than this single piece on MSN. So it appears that the MSN piece sort of broke the news that the JaneDear Girls had broken up a few months ago, but then it also said that at the same time Lee Ann Womack parted ways with her record label (something I was...

Little Raden Delilah Cunningham joins the family with big brother James, 5, mommy Ashton, and daddy Roland. She weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz and measured a respectable 19 ½ inches.

She is expecting her second child in a few months. She sang her current single, "Look It Up" and her new album is due in stores on July 12. Dierks Bentley was up next with a short set, including, "Feel That Fire," "What Was I Thinkin'" "Up on the Ridge" and closing with "Sideways." Lady Antebellum entertained the crowd with "Our Kind of Love," "American Honey," and "I Run To You" along with new single, "Just a Kiss." Fans got a special treat...

They like the simple things in life. They like to return home to home cooked meals and their own bed. They like being with their family and just chilling. They like to hone in on a prey animal and kill it. My husband would be really appreciative of this story. Ashton Shepherd is an up and comer who I really like. She's on tour right now with Sugarland and Kellie Pickler and living every singer's dream. To look at her you'd think she'd want to hang out in the salon and have... Shannon

Jamal Lewis for Chad Ocho Sinco and LenDale White?
Fantasy Sports at 11 September 2008 03:09:00
Qwhat u guys think?
ROf course.Jamal Lewis is old and played out.Chad Ocho Cinco is a savage and is going to whoop ass this year despite the bad start. As for LenDale White, well its hard to tell what kind of year he has, but im thinking its not gonna be that great because how do you run effectively if you dont have a passing threat from Vince Young (if he is mentally stable that is).

Does anyone know who Michel Savage is for in election?
Elections at 12 February 2008 07:02:11
QI can't get him on the radio anymore but whoever he votes for, I will. He should be president.
RSavage is whacky but 85% of the time he's dead nuts on about Islamic goals in the world. Americans are just barely waking up to this reality after 9-11, some want to still stick their head in the sand while people are dying over Islamist ambitions.This presidency is far more important than paltry US racial infighting. This is about National Security.Obama is "using" the presidential bid for geopolitical motivations that few Americans can understand.You have heard about Christian slaughters in Africa? You do not understand what is behind them?It is an Islamist African unification war.Louis Farrakhan is the leader of America's "Nation of Islam".He went with Rev. Jeremiah Wright (of OBama's "church") to meet Libya's QADAFI, as well as ODINGA. Read who Odinga is below.Obama's church doctrines list a "nonnegotiable commitment to Africa", not to the US.Qadafi's been fighting wars instigating violence by PROXY in order to form an ISLAMIC AXIS, killing scores of African Christians, as part of his goal for the United States of Africa (USAfrica), with anti-Christian violence and death in Chad, Sudan (Darfur), now Kenya...Follow the money: $40 to burn down a house, $60 to rape and cut off limbs or murder...Obama flew to Kenya and campaigned for ODINGA August 2006 for the Odinga's presidential bid.The Kenyan press reported the Kenyan government said Obama looked like "Odinga's Stooge".Odinga and Obama are first paternal cousins from the Luo tribe, and have a "close personal relationship".Odinga's oil billions came from al Qaeda (via al Bakari, a 9-11 defndant), and Qadafi.Odinga sought to impose Sharia (strict brutal Islamic Law) on mostly Christian Kenya by making a signed pact with al Qaeda Islamists that if he won, he would change the constitution on this majority Christian nation.When he lost, his thugs killed over a thousand Kikuya Christians and displaced 300,000 more---so he could pressure Kibaki into power sharing and get underway with the Islamic Axis starting with Kenya and Sudan.Would Obama supporters go fight for a USAFRICA?Did Obama get some of those untraceable al Qaeda billions for his campaign?by the way Oprah also belongs to Obama's church tucc.org, she recently started a black girls school in South Africa.She has said that she will not rest until every black boy and every black girl are given the opportunity to succeed. She has called her staff "nice white folk".

Polls & Surveys at 28 July 2008 01:07:16
QI would be a...living dead doll or a begoth.THATS RIHGT I'M A FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or a american girl doll...
RSomething lovingly handcrafted by D.L. Marian. I own several of her creations, and also a couple of Chad Savage's dolls. http://www.darkcreation.com/home.htmlAs a child, my mother gave me a beautiful, sweet, porcelain doll every birthday and every Christmas. I was to display these pale-skinned, dead-eyed creations proudly in my room and sometimes I would weep and writhe under my covers knowing they were watching my every move, waiting to eat my soul at the first opportunity. My mother kicked me out when I was 16, so I took the dolls and donated them all to a charity auction. All twenty-two fetched a bargain price of $4600. My mother sent her boyfriend to my work. He broke into my car and stole my wallet - which had the charitable tax receipt. The wallet was returned to mall security a day later - with no receipt, but the $50 bill still tucked inside the cashfold.My mother didn't speak to me for several months, and it was bliss. I began collecting macabre dolls out of sheer revenge several years ago. Now I lovingly tend to their sweet, dead faces, their stringy hair, and filthy skin and have eveun began creating my own childlike horrors from thrift store corpses.

Can anyone tell me what "Bohemian Grove" is?
Government at 29 June 2006 06:06:10
QCan anyone tell me what "Bohemian Grove" is?
RBohemian Grove is a 2700 acre (11 km²) campground located in Monte Rio, California, in Sonoma County, 75 miles north of San Francisco, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's fine arts club known as the Bohemian Club, which was founded in 1872. Every year (since 1899) it is the location of a two-week (covering three weekends) encampment, beginning in the middle of July.The Bohemian Club's membership includes many artists, particularly musicians, as well as many high-ranking business leaders, government officials (including many US Presidents) and senior media publishers. As a measure of the Club's exclusivity, it is reported the waiting list for membership is about 15 years. Members may invite guests to the Grove, who are subject to a rigorous screening procedure. These guests come from across America and overseas. Californian guests are limited to attendance at the "Spring Jinks", in June, preceeding the main July encampment.This is what it officially is. unofficiallyThe private nature of the Club and its membership has attracted some attention and suspicion. Over the years, individuals have infiltrated the Grove then later published video and accounts of the activities at Bohemian Grove. German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt wrote about the Grove in his autobiography Men and Powers. He stated that Germany had similar institutions, some of which included such rituals, but that his favorite was the Bohemian Grove.There have been controversies pertaining to allegations of homosexual conduct. Commenting on the number of homosexuals in the San Francisco area and to a lesser extent, the number of San Francisco natives that are members of the Bohemian Club, former United States President Richard Nixon remarked, "But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time . . . It is the most faggy goddamn thing that you would ever imagine with that San Francisco crowd." According to the New York Post on June 22, 2004, in a page six article now removed from their website entitled, "GAY PORN STAR SERVES MOGULS," gay porn star Chad Savage worked as a reportedly anonymous valet at the Bohemian Grove.[1]Harry Shearer of This is Spinal Tap fame has made a movie with the same parody concept about Bohemian Grove, called Teddy Bears' Picnic.[edit]Purported ceremonies and customsDuring the Cremation of Care ceremony, a mock human sacrifice representing "dull care" is cremated to symbolize the liberation of the participants. It can be argued that its symbolism is analogous to that of the Burning Man which has often been compared to the Midsummer Encampment at the Grove.In the Franklin Coverup Scandal of 1989, investigators of that case discovered that Paul A. Bonacci wrote in his diary that he had been flown into the Grove by republican leader Lawrence King and was forced into sexual acts with other boys including snuff films and BDSM.[2] Paul Bonacci later testified to these charges in court with U.S. Senior District Judge Warren K. Urbom presiding. Bonacci won the court case and was awarded $1 million by Judge Urbom.[3]

Are there any Gay Adult Movies with a plotline?
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered at 29 March 2008 11:03:59
QI'm looking for an XXX gay film with a plotline. Something that is like a regular movie but shows everything.
ROf course there are, and several really good ones, too. Here are some suggestions (but there are many, many more out there):* "Dangerous Liasions": This sexy adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 masterwork Les Liasons Dangereuses, features a new twist on one of literature's most intriguing tales of betrayal and deceit. Taking place in modern day New York City, Michael Lucas stars as the head of a fashion empire who enlists the help of Valentine Moore to seduce his ex-boyfriend's new lover. Incredibly intense sex scenes result filled with passion, and hot pounding action. Strikingly filmed on gorgeous sets, we think this breathtaking film is dangerously addictive.* "Wrong Side Of The Tracks": Johnny Hazzard decides to leave his poor, small town behind in search of a better life in the big city, unfortunately he finds out soon enough that life there isn't any better and it's easy to be taken advantage of. When Johnny meets Chad Savage, a boy from the right side of the tracks, he discovers money doesn't always make life easier either. Smoking hot sex scenes coupled with this really well done double plot, make this feature a must see! An amazingly hot scene between Johnny Hazzard and Tyler Riggz was our favorite stand-out performance. Hot plot, great sex, and high production values make this powerhouse title a must see!* "The Hole": Yes it's true! The porn spoof of the very-spoofed horror movie, The Ring. This time though, in seven days, you turn GAY. From art film and mainstream director Wash West, comes our favorite gay title of the year (and winner of the 2004 GayVN awards). With lots of cleverly outrageous dialogue, endless amounts of ironic twists and turns, and long scenes of completely fantastic sex, this movie kept us completely enraptured from start to finish. So much so we almost missed the phone call! * "Gigolo": Director Michael Lucas really knows how to make a statement. He successfully combines smoking hot sex scenes with big budget Hollywood designers, stylists, and production staff. Gigolo explores the underground hustler scene in New York City as ex-hustler Louis McMann (played by Lucas) is thrust back into the hustle after his lover's untimely death. The fantastic production values add grit and authenticity to this hot tale from the city as Lucas creates scene after scene of plot-fueled erotic ecstasy.* "La Dolce Vita": Winner of 13 trophies at the GAYVN Awards, including Best Picture, this recreation of Fellini's famous film of the same name, carries on the themes of sex, glamor, and debauchery. This time around, the action takes place in busy Manhattan, in the midst of high society, fashion, celebrity, and the sexual underground. Beautifully shot with full sets, top-notch designer clothing, and gorgeous lighting, this film is definitely worth celebrating.Hope that helps you start exploring good porn with great plots!

Dear Auntie TUAW: What's that little dot in the iPhone's status bar?
I was driving home from an appointment today with my brother, and at a stop light, I noticed that instead of the Edge "E", I had this little blue dot. I just assumed that it was where i had connected to WiFi and had no bars, but it was much too big and centered.
My brother, who also has an iPhone, pulled his out to find that we both had the little dot. They are both first Gen iPhones, his 4GB, mine 8GB. I did not know what this meant, but being the Apple nerd I am, I figure I would have heard something of this dot before now.
Do you know what it is? Could it have something to do with 3.0 coming out soon as expected? Thanks, And I look forward to hearing what you think.
With love from your nephew,
Andrew Dixon
Andrew, sweetheart,
Speaking of the iPhone, are you including enough roughage in your diet? Now that I'm entering onto what we oldsters can only term our "tender years," I've grown to realize that bulk, bulk, bulk is the key to world happiness. Fiber is health; health, fiber. That is what we know at TUAW, and all ye need to know for better digestive function.
As for your question, that little blue circle means you youngsters were connected to a GPRS network, aka General Packet Radio Service. When the iPhone first debuted, it displayed the EDGE "E" when connected to GPRS. This made pedants cry. Newer firmware versions show this blue circle instead. As noted below, GPRS is quite a bit slower than either EDGE or 3G.
To check this icon out for yourself, you can browse through your iPhone files using sftp (on a jailbroken iPhone) or iBrowser (for iPhones with the developer deployment). The EDGE and GPRS icons live in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app and are named FSO_EDGE_ON.png and FSO_GPRS_ON.png. You'll need to convert the compressed iPhone-style png images to Mac compatible ones using a utility like fixpng.
Send my love to your brother and don't forget to wear a scarf to keep your neck warm!
Love and hugs,
Auntie T.

Title: What language did you play The Lost Odyssey in?
Posted: June 02, 2011 (11:57 PM)
So I picked up the Lost Odyssey based on a few words that Suskie said about it here. Unfortunately the English voice acting is pretty bad, so I checked the options to see if there was a Japanese voice option. To my surprise, you can select from not two, but five, different languages. I have since switched to Japanese and it is a bit better, though still not great. Did anyone else try out the other languages?

Title: Holiday gifts
Posted: December 20, 2010 (06:22 PM)
I work in a school, so my last day of work for this month was the 17th. At the end of the day the teacher I work for gave me a gift in a little red bag. I didn't check what it was until after she had left, but it turned out to be a $25 gift certificate to GameStop!
I was pleasantly surprised and I found myself asking "How did she know?!" I don't recall telling her much about my habits since I'm usually not quick to announce them, though at one point I may have said something like "I just bought an Xbox 360." Knowing her, she may have also thought: "He's 23 -- he plays video games." Such heuristics obviously have the potential to be wrong, but not in this case.
I decided I wanted to use this on something actually good. I ended up getting Lost Odyssey, since I have heard so many good things about it from people around here whose opinions I value, and BioShock, since it was only $10 and I had some space left on the card.
Haven't gotten to play either yet and I'm not even sure when I will. When I was younger there were so many games I wanted to play but I didn't have the money to buy them. Now, I don't even have that much money, but it feels like I keep getting more games than I have time to play.

This is Radical Dreamer, and I wrote that. Glad you found it an interesting read.
Anyway, I did a quick search on HDTV's on Amazon but I was swamped with a million results and wasn't even sure if all of them were HDTV's. Any way I can narrow my research?

Just got an Xbox 360 and I was wondering. My guess is that it simply looks better, but I'd like an answer from someone who actually knows. Does it affect framerate in any way? Text has also been small enough to be barely legible, but that may just be because of the screen size - would changing the aspect ratio make this any better?

Title: Tooth related happenings.
Posted: September 09, 2010 (08:10 PM)
At work yesterday, one of the kindergarteners who I take care of bit me. He's usually a really happy kid, right up until he's told no. One of the recess supervisors said that he hit a girl, so I told him that he was in timeout. He immediately threw a tantrum, and as I pulled him away from the playground, he sunk his teeth into the flesh of my stomach. I looked around to see a lot of people staring, and I told the other instructional assistant that he was biting me. If he had pulled away, he probably would have ripped my flesh, so I just waited there, made sure he didn't move, and hoped he would eventually let go. After about fifteen or twenty seconds, he finally did.
I came into work today and he greeted me with a smile and a high five.
After work, I had to go to the oral surgeon for a consultation about getting my wisdom teeth removed. Some of the teeth are rotting, and I found out that I have two partial bone impactions. The total for the procedure came out to about $1841, but fortunately, I think my insurance will cover most of it, so I think it will only end up costing between $370 and $650 for me. I'm usually pretty casual about medical stuff because I like to get problems fixed, but I will need to be under general anesthesia for this procedure, which I have never done before.

East West Petroleum Corp., Vancouver, BC, said seismic surveys are under way on the Tria (EX-2) block in Romania and will start shortly on the Baile Felix (EX-3), Periam (EX-7), and Biled (EX-8) blocks that have now been ratified by the Romanian government.
According to terms of the October 2011 farmout with Naftna Industrija Srbije jsc Novi Sad (NIS), NIS will earn an 85% interest by contributing 100% of the costs through the mandatory Phase 1 and optional Phase 2 exploration periods. East West will retain a 15% carried interest across all blocks through Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The minimum Phase 1 exploration mandatory program across all four blocks includes shooting and interpreting 2D and 3D seismic data and drilling three wells per block for 12 wells in total over the next 2 years. The four blocks cover a combined 1 million gross acres in the Pannonian basin.
The drilling will target conventional reservoirs using conventional technology, East West Petroleum said.

Competition Makes Groups More Creative August 17, 2010Posted by keithsawyer in New research.
Tags: group competition, markus baer, team competition
I just read a study by my Washington University colleague, Markus Baer, and three other authors* in the latest issue of the Academy of Management Journal. They start out by citing a history of prior studies showing that when you have different groups compete to reach a goal, the effectiveness of the groups goes up. That's because the external threat gives a group more coherence, and a greater sense of a shared goal–two of the important properties of what I call "group flow" in my book Group Genius. But no studies have ever specifically focused on group creativity as the potential outcome of competition.
They brought together groups of four undergraduate business majors and asked them to generate ideas "to make the university more attractive to students" by focusing on two areas: the transition from high school to college, and how to improve the quality of life on campus. The researchers had a panel of three graduate students rate all of the ideas for novelty and usefulness. Then they created three different competition situations, by varying the amount of the award for the best ideas ($4, $40, or $400) and the percentage of teams that would get a reward (top 50 percent, top 10 percent, only the top team).
The results: as they increased the intensity of the competition, the rated creativity of a team's ideas increased. So it seems that a little bit of competition can actually enhance group creativity.

[…] One of the key elements of things like copyright and patent laws, are that they are really attempts to eliminate certain forms of competition. That's always struck me as an odd idea, since it's competition that leads to greater innovation — as has been shown over and over again in the economic research. So this following study shouldn't surprise anyone, but Glyn Moody points us to a new study that shows that groups who are put in greater and greater competitive situations, come up with more creative solutions to challenges they're given.

| Easy to clean, works fine, real quality. August 9, 2002
Reviewer: A Customer from seattle
I've tried a couple other cheap juicers which broke and they are tough to clean. The Champion Juicer I cleaned in a matter of minutes with a small-medium nylon bristle brush. I'll never recommend any other juicer. I only juice fruit. The pulp is easily recoverable. It's true quality built. One of the few things I've bought of any thing that works a damn! (Besides an iMac :)
