Product Description
In her beautifully illustrated new cookbook, Lidia Bastianich lays out a comprehensive curriculum of wise cooking tips--from the cutting board to the kitchen table. Channeling the instructive elements from her TV show, she teaches us that a good dose of common sense is the key ingredient to a stellar meal. As storyteller and chef, she draws on anecdotes to educate and illustrate. Recalling lessons learned from her mother, Erminia, and her grandmother Nonna Rosa, Lidia pays homage to the kitchen sages who inspired her.
Whether it's Citrus Roasted Veal, or Rustic Ricotta Tart, each recipe is a tangible feast. We learn to look at ingredients as both geographic and cultural indicators. In Campania, the region where mozzarella is king, we discover it best eaten three hours after preparation. In Genova we are taught that while focaccia had its basil origins in the Ligurain culinary tradition, the herbs and flavorings will change from region to region; as home chefs, we can experiment with rosemary or oregano or olives or onions! When it's time for dessert, Lidia draws on the scared customs of nuns in Italian monasteries and convents and reveals the secret to rice pudding with a blessing.
Lidia's Commonsense Guide to Italian Cooking is a collection of 150 delectable recipes, told with commonsense cooking wisdom, that teaches us how create simple, seasonal Italian dishes with grace, confidence and love.

It is quite easy to
create your own personalized scripts for chakra
meditation or self-hypnosis. If you look on the
Internet, you will find self-hypnosis downloads for
practically every addiction and illness, emotional and
physical pain, love and sex, personal and spiritual
development, business success and wealth attraction,
weight loss and body image, fears and phobias, and
At one level or
another, all of these issues can be boiled to chakra
work. Rather than buy these
pre-recorded MP3s, you can create your own personalized
self-hypnosis sessions tailored for your own particular
chakra needs. Every session should
have four parts:
An induction is simply
a progressive relaxation of the body from head to toe or
vice versa. It is helpful to name the body part and
tell it to "relax now."
After you are relaxed,
a deepener is used to
put you in a state of mind where you will be receptive to
the suggestions made in the main script. This usually
involves a simple counting backwards, telling yourself that
you will become more and more relaxed as you count
down. You can get as creative as you want with your
images as long as you are going down and relaxing with each
Here is
the meat of the session, the guided
or suggestions that can go to work changing or rewriting
the self-destructive subconscious scripts we live out day
to day without thinking. After you have read or listened to
a few, you may want to try your hand at writing your

is our belief that most of the specialty scripts available,

that when you make more fundamental changes that get to
the root of things, the symptoms will
disappear or at least be much easier to deal

Buccaneers' rally falls short against NavarroOctober 21, 2013
Blinn scores 21 third-quarter points, but Bulldogs halt comeback
The road to the playoffs just got a little longer for the Blinn Buccaneers.
Coming off a 42-28 loss to Navarro Saturday afternoon at Cub Stadium, the Bucs must win their regular season finale on the road Oct. 26 against the Cisco Wranglers and third-ranked Tyler must beat Kilgore in order for the Bucs to claim the final Southwest Junior College Football Conference playoff spot.
The Bucs (3-5, 2-3) were down early and struggled against a Bulldog (6-2, 4-2) attack that took a 28-7 lead at halftime. But for all its first-half struggles, Blinn rocketed out in the third quarter and scored on three straight drives.
The comeback started on their second drive when the Bucs found Kyle Fulks on a 26-yard reverse that made it a 28-14 game. Three minutes later, sophomore Klartel Claridy broke for a 19-yard run up the middle to cap a three-yard drive and make it a seven-point game.
After the defense forced a Navarro three-and-out, Blinn strung together a nine-play, 93-yard drive that was finished off by a 19-yard run by quarterback Garry Kimble to tie it at 28-all.
But for all of Blinn's third-quarter success, Navarro put up 14 fourth-quarter points to end the Bucs' comeback bid.
Claridy ran for 102 yards on 13 attempts and freshman Darrion Landry caught nine passes for 132 yards, including a second-quarter touchdown.
Kimble was 12-of-22 passing for 172 yards. Backup quarterback Logan Vinklarek threw for another 95 and a touchdown.
Navarro pounded the ball on the ground for 306 yards. Blinn combined for 413 yards of total offense, 267 passing.
Ron Knowles and Myles Curl led Blinn's defense with 7.5 sacks, and Darian Childers picked up the Bucs' only sack in the game.

Why do dogs eat grass?
Everyone seems to have a theory about why dogs sometimes eat grass, but nobody really knows for certain. Some people think dogs eat grass to get more fiber in their diet. But since modern commercial diets contain enough fiber, that theory has been dismissed by many.
Another theory is that dogs eat grass to induce vomiting when they've eaten something bad. This is because people observe their dogs vomiting after eating grass. However not all dogs vomit after eating grass.
Andrea N. Johnston, DVM, DACVIM, a clinical instructor in internal medicine at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine says that even specialists like her don't really know. Maybe dogs just like it.
In general, it's considered that eating a little grass isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it really doesn't provide much roughage or nutrients.
One caution on grass consumption: fertilizers and chemicals that may be on the lawn. Another concern is parasites that could be in the dirt and grass.
If you want your dog to have more greens, Dr. Johnston recommends simply feeding them some fresh or cooked vegetables.
Just remember that every dog is different and if your dog is frequently eating grass and vomiting, it wouldn't hurt to ask your vet about it to make sure he or she doesn't have some underlying medical condition.Image courtesy of Victor Habbick / FreeDigitalPhotos.net
Canine Ear and Hearing Problems
Sometimes Whistle's shakes his head and scratches his ears. This makes me wonder if his ears are bothering him.
Cornell University Hospital for Animals sees lots of dogs with serious ear disorders. While most ear infections can be remedied easily, some are only treatable with complex surgeries. In a recent issue of their newsletter "Dog Watch," they discussed canine ear disease.
One condition treated by an operation when it is in its advanced stages is a chronic infection called otitis externa, a painful condition that can lead to partial deafness if left untreated.
Just like our ears, dogs' ears are delicate equipment. Deafness can be congenital or acquired. Noise trauma, or certain antibiotics or anesthetics can sometimes cause deafness. Just like us, canines can also gradually have their hearing affected by aging, particularly if they are eight years or older.
How can you recognize the early signs or ear problems?
An affected dog might:
- Shake its head persistently and
- Scratch at one or both ears.
- Fail to react to voice commands
- React as if ears are painful when touched
Upon inspection you might notice:
- Inflamed or swollen skin on the underside of the ears
- Foul-smelling discharge in outer ear canal.
A trip to your veterinarian, where he or she can use an otoscope to look inside the dog's ears, might be necessary to diagnosis the condition. A microscopic examination of what is in the ear canal might also be needed to pin down the type of infection and medication needed.
I took Whistle to see to his veterinarian for a check-up. Luckily in his case, the ear scratching and head shaking were not indications of anything serious. My vet suggested that I used a mild ear cleanser specifically designed for dogs and a cloth to keep his ears clean.
Does my dog need vitamins?
You may take supplements even though you eat well, so does that mean your dog should take vitamins and minerals also?
Canine nutrition is an evolving field but today's high-quality dog foods generally make nutritional supplements unnecessary. So says the DogWatch newsletter from Cornell University. They asked Kathryn Michel, DVM, professor of nutrition at the University of Pennsylvania about the topic. Her advice?
Some dogs may require certain nutrients under certain conditions that are not provided in a commercial diet. For example, a dog with joint pain and arthritis might benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin, but this may not help all dogs.
Other supplements can pose a risk. Dr. Michel warns that people should not give their dogs the same supplements they take in the same doses. Fat soluble vitamins in particular, such as A, D, E, and K, are stored in the body and can become excessive. Too much calcium can also be dangerous.
Giving your dog a general vitamin-mineral supplement designed for dogs is not necessarily harmful, but not all the experts are convinced they will necessarily help your dog. Some say more studies are needed and that your dog may not be harmed by them, but you might be spending money unnecessarily.
Vitamin deficiencies are uncommon in the U.S. these days since dog food companies have formulated blends that will take care of "typical" dogs. But if your dog is a working dog, very athletic, or a puppy, they may have special requirements.
Things to look out for in balancing your dog's diet can include too many treats or a homemade diet which may not be giving your dog the nutrition he or she needs. If your dog is lethargic, weak, or has a coat which isn't healthy looking, make sure to consult with your veterinarian to rule out nutritional deficiencies.
I give Whistle a vitamin E every day. What do you give your dog?

Canine Lifetime Health Project
I am always interested in new studies that can support my assistance dog's overall health and well-being. The Morris Animal Foundation has started a huge new project which will study dogs over the course of their lives in an effort to learn how to prevent and treat diseases facing dogs.
Just as the Framingham Heart study observed people through their lives, beginning in 1946, and led to increased knowledge of heart disease, the new Morris project is hoped to improve knowledge about dogs' health. It is expected to provide information which will lead to new tests, diets and therapies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in dogs.
The first study will be for Golden Retrievers. This breed was chosen for study because more than half of them die of cancer. Although the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is restricted to Golden Retrievers, results from this study will benefit all dogs.
To be eligible, dogs should be under 2 years old at time of enrollment and have a three-generation pedigree. The study is expected to run from 10 to 14 years and enroll up to 3,000 dogs.
"This is truly the biggest scientific effort that Morris Animal Foundation has ever undertaken," says Dr. David Haworth, Foundation president and CEO. "And the benefits for advancing animal health will be huge."
You can participate with your dog. Just go to www.CanineLifetimeHealth.org to learn more and sign up. You can sign up for the Golden Retriever study or other upcoming studies.
Cancer and Early Detection – Conducting Routine Exams at Home
I don't know about you, but I am acutely aware of the sobering statistics related to large breed dogs and cancer. I try to examine Whistle on a daily basis just to make sure that he has no undetected lumps or bumps. And, if I do find something, I make sure to make an appointment right away with Whistle's veterinarian for his professional opinion and assessment.
I came across a helpful article in a recent issue of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's DOG Watch that I wanted to share with you regarding the importance of early detection of canine cancer.
Did you know that "it has been estimated that cancer is the cause of death in 50% of dogs over the age of 10 and that 25 to 30% of all dogs will be stricken with the disease at some point during their lives, regardless of their age"?
I don't want to be an alarmist but I think we can definitely take some proactive steps to protect our assistance dogs. As we all know, the sooner a cancer is diagnosed, the better our dog's chances that the cancer can be stopped and an assistance dog's life can be saved or extended.
The folks at DOG Watch stress the importance of owner awareness to such physical symptoms as: "an open sore that won't heal; an unusual lump or swollen area that doesn't go away; mysterious bleeding from the mouth or anus; troubled breathing; difficulty in urinating or defecating; uncharacteristic lethargy; reluctance to exercise; sudden weight loss". They also recommend that young dogs receive a yearly physical but dogs older than eight should have a physical at least twice a year.
Whistle is my third assistance dog. I have noticed that each of my assistance dogs' health changed between the age of 5-6. After age 5, I began monitoring their health a little closer and regularly scheduling a physical exam with our vet every six months. The cost has been relatively low because he is just conducting a physical assessment in his office however it gives us a base line to monitor Whistle's health as he becomes a senior working dog.
I routinely groom my assistance dog by brushing their fur at either the beginning or end of the day. Not only is this a good bonding exercise but it also gives me a chance to physically scan Whistle's body for any lumps or bumps, changes in his skin or other physical signs of potential health concerns.
Dealing with health issues is never easy but I feel it is my responsibility to be vigilante with Whistle's health care maintenance and overall wellness. Conducting routine exams at home with your assistance dog can be just what the doctor ordered!

Rock of Ages is about to be released in cinemas on June 15th 2012. This film is directed by Adam Shankman who is widely known for directing the musical: Hairspray, Cheaper by the Dozen, Bedtime Stories and so much more. He is now back to give movie goers a brand new movie that will immerse them in classic rock music and a love story. Let's take a look at a recent interview with Adam Shankman for the movie: Rock of Ages
"Rock Of Ages: A Personal Movie For Adam Shankman
The Broadway hit "Rock of Ages" goes from stage to screen under the direction of Adam Shankman, who also executive produces the film.
"Rock of Ages," which earned five Tony Award nominations, is still entertaining audiences on the Great White Way as well as in touring productions around the world. The show's book was written by Chris D'Arienzo, who is also a writer and executive producer on the film.
Personal Movie
Shankman, who grew up in Los Angeles, felt right at home in the setting. "My dad was a music business manager, and his office was on the Sunset Strip," he says. "I knew a lot of artists. I was choreographing music videos in 1987 and it was a world that I really understood and loved, so turning back that clock was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
At the core of the film is a boy-meets-girl love story woven into classic, only-in-Hollywood dreams of fame. Shankman's sister and producing partner, Jennifer Gibgot, elaborates, "Like so many people in L.A., the young lovers in 'Rock of Ages' have come here hoping to make it big and thinking it's going to be easy. But it turns out to be a lot harder to stay on the path, to keep believing in the thing that led them there in the first place."
The movie also shows the other side of the coin: what it was like to have achieved the fame and fortune that 1980s glam bands so thoroughly and unabashedly enjoyed. Fellow native Angelino and producer Garrett Grant, who grew up listening to that music and idolizing the artists, emphasizes, "It was important to portray the period authentically, and hit the tone as much as we could in order to truly pay homage to the rock stars—rock gods, really—of that generation."
Playing the rock god of "Rock of Ages," Arsenal lead singer Stacee Jaxx, is Tom Cruise. Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta portray the young couple. They are joined by an all-star cast that includes Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Mary J. Blige, Malin Akerman and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
For Shankman, the journey began when he went to see "Rock of Ages" on the stage: "The audience was having the best time I'd ever seen at a show. Everybody knew the lyrics to all the songs and was out of their seats and singing along and having the time of their life. That enthusiasm, that sheer emotion, convinced me to make the movie."
The rest of the interview can be read at emanuellevy.com

Putting together such a diverse cast of characters is absolutely genius, a perfect equation to a complicated problem when releasing what was previously a broadway musical. Oftentimes broadway doesn't beautifully translate to Hollywood. Adam Shankman did an awesome job moving this over to the big screen and I think it might even be better than the musical!

How big windows software can i use efficently in Mac Pro
I am software tester my profession and I use some big windows softwares which are not compatable with Mac OS. But after using iphone, ipad I have become a huge fan of Mac.
Please can you advice if I install virtual windows in Mac. Can I run my softwares as efficiently as I run in my PC? because I dont want to use boot camp and keep switching over. Boot camp will be last option for me.
Kindly advice. I am really stopping myself to buy mac just because of this issue..:|
For the most part, Windows software can be run in a virtual machine with little or no performance degradation. The exception is games or certain CAD programs that require the full power of graphics acceleration and 3D.
VMWare Fusion, Parallels, and the free VirtualBox are currently the choice you have for virtual machine software. Running Windows in a VM has the advantage of not having to reboot the machine each time in order to run.
Thanks mate for replying. I dont want to run heavy games or any CAD programs. Just want to run some windows software's which are not that resource hungry.
One more question, If I buy a mac pro 13inch, will that contain any software to run window in parallel or Do i have to buy it separately?
You might notice that that the next Mac OS X, named Lion, will be out in the next several days and has some VM features. Apple - OS X Lion - The world
Before Lion: There are three VM programs that are usable under the current OS X, Snow Leopard, Parallels, VMwareFusion, and the one from Sun. Some one volunteered to me that VMware Fusion had been doing the VM with Apple longer and felt it worked more smoothly. Not to say which would be best, as I am not an expert nor have I evaluated all of them. Just be aware that there is more than one VM program. VMware and Parallels are an extra cost. Which brings up the point. I have discovered that many times when I want accomplish something, it turns out someone has developed a really keen, smooth working program to do it, but it costs $$.
Just like you will have to have a legal copy of Windows to use in the VM program.
In VMwareFusion one must decide how much RAM to assign to the 'guest OS' in the virtual machine. If you want to use Windows in a Virtual machine, with a Windows program, then you might want to max out the RAM you get.
I see a note that Intuit, is not going to have a version for Lion. I am guessing that will not affect the Intuit software running in a Windows Virtual machine. Maybe someone who is now testing Lion could advise the OP before he spends any money.
A Mac Pro is a completely different kettle of fish to a MacBook Pro. Also consider installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp Assistant which is a free program within OS X.5, X.6 and no doubt the shortly to be released X.7.

Tata Motors' JLR to raise $400 million via bonds to fund growth
Jaguar Land Rover, the luxury automotive company wholly owned by Tata Motors has stated that the company is in the process of raising $400 million or INR .2,100 crores via bonds.
These will be guaranteed on a 'senior unsecured basis' by Jaguar Land Rover, Land Rover, Jaguar Land Rover North America, Land Rover Exports and Jaguar Rover Exports. All proceeds from the issuance and sales of these notes will be channelized towards growth and capital spending plans of Jaguar land Rover. It was earlier last year that JLR announced an investment of £ 1.5 billion per annum for the next five years towards product development in a bid to position itself as a top premium brand.
Following this announcement, JLR have also stated that it will be investing £2 billion for 40 product actions globally till the end of the current fiscal. Expansion of their Pune facilities is also on the cards. It was only last week, from this Pune plant that the company launched the locally built Jaguar XF 2.2 liter saloon. Plans are also in the making for local assembly of the 2013 version of Freelander which will be followed by the Jaguar XJ Ultimate luxury saloon and Jaguar F-Type sports car as a CBU.

I'm not a lace knitter (at least I don't add the extra stitches on purpose) but Christine (knitmaniac) showed me this website and I noted that Addi has added lace circulars to its line of knitting needles. Maybe this is old news, but I thought I'd put it forward here in case some of the lace knitters didn't know.
You sent me a private message asking about the Monday Night Knit...
but it said "Sender does not accept replies"...and you don't accept emails...(I'm not sure how you expected me to respond,,,)
We meet Monday nights from 7-9pm ( although many of us get there about 6:30)

Lottery to be used to handle W.Va. land searches
MIDDLEBOURNE, W.Va. (AP) — Tyler County is using a lottery to help keep oil and gas drilling companies from camping around the courthouse to research property deeds.
Starting Friday, Tyler County Clerk Teresea Hamilton will allow abstractors to randomly draw numbers to determine who will get one of the 96 coveted daily slots to access the records vault.
Officials told The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register that they hope the move will prevent the abstractors and their so-called "line holders" from camping around the courthouse all night long.
Middlebourne residents turned out Thursday to meet with county officials about the issue.
To accommodate the crowds, the courthouse has extended its hours and abstractors have been limited to two hours each inside the vault. The vault can only accommodate 16 people at a time.

The Orioles pitchers and catchers are set to report Tuesday with the rest of the squad three days later. The mystery is how many of the position players will wait those extra days before showing up to Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fla.
Many of the players are already on hand and others will show up on Monday. The first workout of the season is set for a week from now, but that schedule might be accelerated if everyone is there.
That's a good sign. Players are eager to report because they can't wait to start again. Last season was so much fun that they'd like to equal or exceed 2012's accomplishments.
With Friday's signings of Jason Hammel and Jim Johnson to one-year contracts, only Darren O'Day is unsigned, and he could sign without going to arbitration. A camp of little drama is likely. It's up to manager Buck Showalter to make the players a little uncomfortable.
Fifty-nine players are set to report. The Orioles have invited 19 players not on the roster, and if Trayvon Robinson clears waivers, he'll be the 60th player.
Only two of the 20 pitchers on the 40-man roster is new to the organization, T.J. McFarland, who was a Rule 5 draft choice from Cleveland and Todd Redmond, claimed on waivers from Cincinnati on Friday.
Four of the 20 position players are with the Orioles for the first time: infielders Russ Canzler, Alexi Casilla, Yamaico Navarro and Danny Valencia.
The intriguing 20 are the non-roster guys. There are eight pitchers. Among them are Kevin Gausman, last year's first-draft choice, Mark Hendrickson, trying to return to the major leagues after sitting out last year and Eduardo Rodriguez, a left-handed pitcher who sparked some interest last year at Delmarva. Mike Wright who made some cameos last spring, is back, too.
Luis Martinez, who the Orioles claimed on waivers from Texas and was waived when the team acquired Canzler, is a non-roster catcher. He cleared waivers on Friday.
Travis Ishikawa, whose defensive abilities impressed the team, has a shot to make the club as a first baseman. Niumer Romero, who played 12 games as a utility infielder in 2009 and 2010 with Cleveland and Boston is on hand, too.
Five non-roster outfielders—all with significant major league experience—Chris Dickerson, Lew Ford, Conor Jackson, Steve Pearce and Jason Pridie will report, and Robinson will find out early next week if he's the sixth.
Pitchers Zach Braddock, Daniel McCutchen, Adam Russell and Daniel Schlereth—all with major league experience—have been invited to camp, too.
Eighteen additional instructors will be in camp to assist Showalter and his coaches. Bobby Dickerson, who used to be on the auxiliary list, is the new third base coach, replacing DeMarlo Hale. Some of the familiar names helping Showalter are Brady Anderson, Mike Bordick, Terry Crowley and Scott McGregor. Former Orioles outfielder and coach Al Bumbry will be there, too.
The exhibition season begins on Feb. 23 with a game in Sarasota against Minnesota. Because of the World Baseball Classic, spring training begins a little earlier this year and there are three scheduled off-days: Mar. 4, 12 & 18, though intrasquad games or minor league contests could pop up.
On Mar. 29, a previously scheduled day off, the Orioles will face State College of Florida, and the exhibition season concludes on Mar. 30 against the New York Mets.
There will be 34 games against major league opponents with split squad games Feb. 27 and Mar.17. The Orioles host Spain's World Baseball Classic team on Mar. 6.
After camp breaks on Mar. 31, the Orioles will move up to St. Petersburg to start the season with three games at Tampa Bay on Apr. 2.

Orange juice is perhaps the most wasteful thing to make with oranges. Luckily, a chemist has discovered how to convert the orange peels (and pulpy waste) to ethanol, biodegradable plastic, and eco-friendly cleaning products.
Professor James Clark from York University has discovered an extraction method using high-powered microwaves, and the university has created a project to further his research. It's called the Orange Peel Exploitation Company (OPEC — rings a bell, doesn't it?).
This is definitely good news for the world, especially because more than three million tons of orange peels rot away a year in Brazil, the world's largest orange juice producer.

Reviews for Berry Shortbread Dreams
Sort By :
"I adore this recipe because they are good and easy to make! My family loves them so much that I automatically double the recipe. I often use other jams/preserves like apricot, blackberry, black raspberry and even peach. I rarely put the glaze on the cookies because they are so good without it."
"I have been making these for years now. They are EXCELLENT and a family favorite. I use store bought icing, melt it for 15 seconds in the microwave, tint it pink and drizzle over the cookies. It looks very pretty!"
"Excellent cookie! I'm making more. The only thing I'd change in the recipe is to add more water to the frosting. I followed the frosting measurements exactly and ended up with a sticky paste. It took about another tablespoon of water to get the frosting to a drizzle consistency. Also used a mini squirt bottle to get the frosting to decorate easily and neatly."
"I made these cookies for a political meeting we were hosting and they were the first cookies to go. I had several requests for the recipe. These are very good tasting cookies!"
"This recipe is the best!!! I've won 3 cookie awards making them for local baking competitions! I got overall reserve grand champion when I put cherry preserves in them. They are also wonderful with Lemon Curd! This is my family's favorite, and I'm begged to make them for Christmas every year :)"

This suit is the best I've purchased in some time. The bust fits and I don't feel like I'm about to "bust" out especially during water workouts.Most other suits are a little small on top.

Am well pleased with the Delta Burke swimsuit. I do water aerobics at our local YMCA and this suit gives good support and fits snugly. I like the wide straps because they are comfortable and I don't have to keep pulling on them. It feels great and gives good control.

July 28 2015 Latest news:
Emma Brennan
West Suffolk chief reporter
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
The creation of around 10,000 new jobs is at the heart of a blueprint that will shape the face of a Suffolk authority area over the next two decades.
Bold plans for economic growth are central to Babergh's new core strategy, which officers describe as a "jobs-led plan" aimed at creating 9,700 in the district by 2031.
The new local planning document, backed unanimously by councillors at a meeting last night, also seeks to deliver 6,000 new homes during that period, with a third of those being affordable.
Although Babergh's two market towns - Sudbury and Hadleigh - are the focus for growth, with 1,050 of the homes earmarked for the Chilton Woods development north of Sudbury, the core strategy also promotes a positive approach to rural development, with 40% of new homes planned for rural sites.
The council aims to plan for rural locations in a new way using a "village clusters" approach to reflect how rural communities work and connect with each other.
According to Rich Cooke, Babergh's corporate manager for spatial planning policy, all new developments will have to be "realistic, practical and achievable rather than just pipe dreams expressed on maps".
He said the strategy reflected the Government's new approach to planning and sustainable growth, which places an onus on councils to approve "the right kind of new development".
Mr Cooke told this newspaper: "The new plan is jobs-led, rather than homes led, with the starting point being identified with aims for the level of new jobs and prosperity. The need for new homes flows on from this aspiration.
"The emphasis in planning for new homes will be much more about ensuring the right kind of homes of high quality design, sustainability and affordability are provided in the right locations where most needed."
Babergh is one of Suffolk's most sparsely populated authorities with much of the district made up of small rural villages. Council members welcomed the strategy's new approach to planning for rural areas.
At the meeting last night, Clive Arthey, councillor for North Cosford ward, which includes the villages of Brent Eleigh, Chelsworth, Cockfield and Thorpe Morieux, described the strategy as a "fantastic document" that rural members should be proud of.
He added: "Prior to the First World War, village populations in Suffolk were twice what they are today so it's no surprise that many facilities in rural communities are suffering. Having 40% of growth designated to villages will help enormously to preserve the facilities that they have. This will help them to survive with balanced communities into the future."
Council chairman Nick Ridley added: "The core strategy is something for us to really build on in the future."
Changes made to the document have just been approved by a Government planning inspector, who confirmed in his report that the core strategy now provides an "appropriate basis for the planning of the district over the next 20 years".
The core strategy replaces 33 policies from the previous 2006 local plan. It contains policies relating specifically to the Chilton Woods strategic land allocation, land east of Sudbury at Great Cornard earmarked for up to 400 homes, a strategic site to the east of Hadleigh which will include 250 extra homes and employment land, a mixed use site on the Babergh Ipswich fringe and brownfield employment sites at Sproughton and Wherstead.

The problem is that public transport is not being improved with the growth in fact it is constantly being cut back. The public transport in the area is a joke you have no choice but to travel by car A cheaper option for restoring the Colchester, Sudbury, Haverhill Cambridge rail line could be to use a modern Trolley bus system . If using laser guidance it can be kept to a narrow lane. They can reach similar speeds to branch line trains ie up to about 50 mph and can carry similar number of passengers The cost would be a lot less than restoring a full rail link and it could also be installed a lot quicker. They can also run off of the overhead lines for some miles but at a lower speed http:www.tbus.org.uk

Tragic, and they still do not have a railway station (anymore - they had one many moons ago).
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Hadleigh wont get a tescos they pulled out completly. Good for hadleigh to grow welcome more housing but where are they being built or these new houses part of the the hadleigh park development
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Having read the document, as a resident of Ipswich it is absolute madness that a Council sitting in Hadleigh, from all the comments looking to links with Colchester is planning to dump all it's industrial development and a good chunck of housing on Ipswich. Why build on greenfield site right on the edge of between Tesco Copdock and where the Hadleigh Rd comes from where it crosses the A14 to London Road. 100's of more houses clogging up Ipswich Roads. Why use the Sugar Beet Factory site for industry when there are empty units in that area on existing sites, the block making site next to the railway which is huge is available, whilst Ipswich builds 5,000 homes on a greenfield site with no link to the A14 and no bridge over the Gipping to Hadleigh Rd to relieve Bramford RdYarmouth Rd and allow access to the A14 from the Harris Bacon Site which is going to be strangled by weight limits as it is miles from the A14A12 junction up London Rd. This is a classic example of unjoined up thinking where Ipswich will pay the price for years to come and have no say on the plan. Quite simply the Capel, East Bergholt, Holbrook and parts of the Hadleigh sections should be part of Ipswich and only then can a joined up thought out plan be built for Ipswich instead of Hadleigh dumping it's industrial build on Ipswich, so that part of the very industrial site at Bramtham can have houses built on it. As for building 40% of houses in rural locations, that's more traffic comming in to Ipswich or Colchester bunging up the roads because you can not provide a decent bus service to small villages scattered over the area. And us residents of Ipswich are tld to put up with Babergh traffic whilst we walk. Madness.

Photoshop CS4 for Photographers is an essential course for any digital photographer who wants to master the software's vast array of image enhancement techniques. Professional photographer and instructor Chris Orwig uses his own compelling images to demonstrate how the power of Photoshop can make photographers more passionate about their work. He covers many aspects of the application, such as working with RAW images, using curves and levels, making images snap, and enhancing bland photographs by converting them to black and white. Exercise files accompany this course.
I want to talk about how we can use Levels in combination with masking, in order to get the most out of our Levels Adjustments. We are going to be working on this image here corwig_uk_1; you can find it in the Chapter 17 folder. Go ahead and double click that one to open it in Photoshop and then press F to go to Full Screen View mode. Now I'm going to click on my Adjustments panel here and I'm going to choose one of my Presets, in this case Levels, Increase Contrast. All right, great. We have this Increase Contrast, except you know what? I want to push this image even further. Let me go ahead and navigate to the Blue-Yellow channel and I'm going to make this one a little bit more warm and then go to the Green-Magenta channel, add a little bit of Magenta there, okay I'm liking that. Then go back to the RGB Composite view and I'm going to deepen my shadows even more, want those nice and deep; brighten up the whites there a little bit and then modify the overall tone and the mid tones there, that looks pretty good.
Let's look at our before and after, here is before and after. Well I like this. I like how this image looks, except guess what happens? I print this out on velvet fine art paper or matte paper, or one of those rag papers and I notice that, these shadows they are just too dark. I need to brighten those up. In order to brighten those up, I'll click on my Masks panel and I'm going to then target the mask here. Grab my Brush tool by pressing the B key and paint with black. In this case I'm painting with a 100% Opacity black here. Okay great. And I'll go ahead and just click and drag to paint into this area because again I want to brighten this area up. I want to limit the adjustment to this area.
Now when I do that, I say, I like that I'm able to have a little bit more tone there except it just doesn't match because it's so gray. Well, we will fix that in a second. The next thing I'm going to do is lower the Opacity to somewhere below 50% here and I'm just going to paint inside of a board a little bit. Again, I want to bring some of those details back for the print. On Monitor this looks fine, it actually looks great on monitor but when I print it, I just don't have any detail in there. I need that detail in order for the image to look good. All right well now I have these two different adjustments that I have made on my mask. Yet again they are two strong, it looks gray, I don't have the right color on top of it. Well, here is a great masking trick for you. You can change the Density of your mask; I'm going to take this all the way down. Well, now it's gone. The Density or I like to thing of it as intensity is off but then I'm going to increase this and bring this up and now take a look at that. Let's look at our before and after, here is our before and then here is with that mask, after. We are just bringing a little bit of light into that.
Also, take a look at what's happened to your mask. Well, let's undo that by holding down the Option key on a Mac/ Alt key on a PC and then clicking on this mask icon. Well, here you can see my mask is much more gray, now as I increase that it changes the tones that I have used. Basically, it allows me to control the tonal value of the mask, it's kind of the equivalent of applying a Levels or a Curves adjustment right to the mask itself. Now, if that doesn't make sense, don't worry but just basically know you can control the overall Density or intensity of your mask. To bring it back to the normal view, hold down the Options key on the Mac/Alt key on a PC and then again find that sweet spot. You know a lots of time it just subtly backing that off and we can see our before and after here, overall before and after here.
Just want to check to make sure that, that looks good and you know what it does. Now there is one more adjustment that I want to make with this particular image, another Levels Adjustment. So I'm going to go back to my Adjustments and then click on the arrow that will allow me to see the Adjustment list. This time for my Levels Preset, I'm going to choose Darker. Now that darkened up the overall image and I want to darken that even further. Now once I have done that, I say, okay obviously it doesn't look very good. But wait till I tell you what kind of effect I want to create, I want to darken the corners of this image. So I'm going to go ahead and navigate over to the Mask option here. Now in the Mask option I have the ability to press the Invert button, which will then fill that mask with black. Okay that takes it all the way off, click it again to bring it back.
Now I'm doing that to just to get a feel for -- did I go far enough, are my corners going to be darkened up. Well, yeah I did. Next, I'm going to change my brush size, by holding down Command+ Option on the Mac and clicking and dragging. I want a real big brush here. On a PC, you are going to hold down the Option key and the right mouse button and then click and drag. I'm going to then paint with black in the middle portion of my image and I'm just looking to limit this adjustment so that it doesn't affect this middle portion of the image. Let's look at our before and after, before and after.
It's a subtle adjustment yet it's darkening those corners really nicely and here we have the before and after. Now if it's not intense enough, we will just go back to the Adjustments panel and then make it a little bit darker and that looks pretty good there. And then go back to the Mask icon. You can also control the overall Density as well of that mask to control how much of the mask is been affected. In this case, let's say we want to darken the overall image, just a touch there, very nice. Well, in closing we have gone through some advanced techniques here that have helped to improve this image. Let's take a look at the overall before and after.
We will click off the Eye icon. Here is our first adjustment and then we limited that adjustment so that it didn't affect these darker areas and that was especially important because those areas became darker once I added my final adjustment there. Well, now that I see that I have this final adjustment on top, I may want to go back to this mask and then control the overall Density, i.e. brighten that up even more. So I'm just sliding it in a one way or the other to evaluate that and say, yeah I do need to brighten that up a little bit more so that it prints well. In addition, I'm going to click on this topmost layer and lower the Opacity of this layer because I want to back that off a little bit. I want that effect but it was just a little bit too intense. The effect is a little bit more subtle and this image will print well.

STARKVILLE, Miss.--As Mississippi State's newest artist-in-residence, Louisiana printmaker Kathryn Hunter will participate in a partnership between the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee Wildlife Refuge and the university's art department.
Hunter, operator of Blackbird Letterpress in Baton Rouge, is a printmaking graduate of Montana State University who also holds a master of fine arts degree in printmaking from Louisiana State University. A native of Decatur, Ala., she is currently represented by Le Mieux Galleries in New Orleans.
The MSU art department artist-in-residence program was launched in January with Mississippi native William "Bill" Dunlap. While on campus, he helped coordinate a number of well-received guest artist demonstrations and presentations.
"The public benefited from Mr. Dunlap's time here in Starkville," said Lori Neuenfeldt, coordinator for the department's art galleries and outreach programs. "Not only did people have one-on-one time with successful artists, they experienced how important the arts are to society.
"We want to continue inviting more artists to become part of this community where they can interact and inspire everyone from children to adults," she added.
Hunter's current works provide visual comments on animal and human relationships, often focusing on their relationship to water. Through the use of printmaking, paper cutting and mixed media, her works illustrate the patterning of life, interdependence, autonomy, and the narrative between the animal and human worlds.
An exhibition titled "Kathryn Hunter: Confluence," will be on display in the Cullis Wade Depot Art Gallery Sept. 23-Nov. 1. The exhibit will be part of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine's Human-Animal Bond Week observance.
A free public reception for Hunter will take place 5:30-7:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the gallery.
As part of the one-of-a-kind program, Hunter will be staying at the refuge's Bluff Lake Residential Unit during late September. She will be working with staff and on her own to create art inspired by the environment and wildlife she encounters. She also will be donating to the refuge an original piece of artwork representative of her residency.
"Through collaboration with different supporters, we are seeing that many people from all walks of life are touched and inspired by art," Neuenfeldt said. "Whether it's enhancing our learning experience, introducing us to new concepts and cultures, or giving us a sense of peace, we all benefit by bringing art to the community."
Located 12 miles south of the MSU campus, the Hamilton Noxubee Wildlife Refuge is located across Oktibbeha, Noxubee and Winston counties. Established in 1940, the 48,000-acre federal land reserve serves as a feeding and resting area for migratory birds and resident wildlife, including white-tailed deer, alligators and beaver. Wetlands, cypress groves, prairie grasslands, and forest are among its many features. For more, visit www.fws.gov/noxubee/noxactive.htm.

The Obami are a stubborn lot. Even new and troubling evidence regarding the inanity of releasing dangerous Guantanamo detainees cannot shake them from their fixation with closing the facility. Administration background briefers tell the media — still — that we have to shut Guantanamo to protect our "values." (Does "common sense" or "the right of self-defense" make the list of values?) "Close Guantanamo!" was a campaign slogan devised with little information and pronounced in the heady opening days of the new Obama administration, before the commander in chief could survey the obvious political and practical problems of shuttering a secure, humane facility that could indefinitely hold those who would surely, if given the chance, return to kill more Americans.
Not only Republicans but Senate Intelligence Chairman Diane Feinstein are pleading with the administration to at the very least halt the release of detainees to Yemen, something which conservatives including Rep. Frank Wolf has been strenuously objecting to for some time. The facts about the Yemen connection are just beginning to emerge:
The al Qaeda chapter in Yemen has re-emerged under the leadership of a former secretary to Osama bin Laden. Along with a dozen other al Qaeda members, he was allowed to escape from a Yemeni jail in 2006. His deputy, Said Ali al-Shihri, was a Saudi inmate at Gitmo who after his release "graduated" from that country's terrorist "rehabilitation" program before moving to Yemen last year. About a fifth of the so-called graduates have ended back on the Saudi terror most-wanted list, according to a GAO study this year.
And we are told that investigators (to the extent they can get information from the now-lawyered up "defendant" and from other sources) are exploring whether Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab "was in contact with al-Shihri and another Guantanamo alum who turned up at the AQAP, Muhammad al-Awfi." We also know from an earlier release study that "one in seven freed Gitmo detainees—61 in all—returned to terrorism. Al-Shihri and Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, the Taliban's operations leader in southern Afghanistan, are merely the best known. The Pentagon has since updated its findings, and we're told the numbers are even worse." It would be nice to know more about the extent of the Yemen recidivism problem, but as Stephen Hayes has reported, the Obama administration has refused to release that data to members of Congress and the public at large. (We can guess why.) And, finally, it appears that Anwar Al-Awlaki, Major Nadal Hassan's favorite imam, who recently escaped a raid in Yemen, provided some "spiritual guidance" to Abdulmutallab, as well.
It is remarkable that before the Christmas Day bombing, the administration thought it was a good idea to dump detainees back into Yemen. After all, the administration — one supposes the president, specifically — did order a predator bombing in that country to strike a hotbed of terrorist activity. So why would they then and even after the Abdulmutallab bombing attack want to persist in effect with resupplying places like Yemen with Guantanamo detainees? It is nothing short of jaw-dropping, really. And it reveals the degree to which ideology has overtaken sound judgment.

American Idol
Confirmed! Haley Reinhart Signed to Interscope Records
For weeks American Idol fans have been speculating on whether Haley Reinhart signed a deal with Jimmy Iovine's Interscope Records. The clues have been stacking up for weeks — from her contract with Red Light Management to that Amazon page announcing a "new release." Recently, an Idol insider spilled to Lindsey Parker from Reality Rocks that those rumors about Haley's contract were real, and that an official announcement will be made very soon.
In a recent interview with Reality Rocks, Haley did her best not to spill the beans. She said, "I'm going to be saying whatever I gotta say [about the album] pretty soon enough, I just don't know if I can or not. But things are hopefully working out pretty well! In a perfect world, I would love [my album] to be bluesy, soulful, funky — a lot of stuff incorporated. I think it's possible!"
So for those of you keeping score, "I think it's possible" is Haley-code for "it's totally happening!" Are you as excited as we are to hear some original tracks from Haley's debut album?

"See me as a meal ticket, but I'm no lunch line."—Big Sean, Rapper
Earlier today it was announced that current UFC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo, finally decided to part ways (I prefer the word "dumped") with his long-time MMA management team, Tough Media Inc., which as many MMA fans already know, consists of two main founders—Ed Soares and Jorge Guimaraes (aka "Joinha").
No doubt, this has got to come as a tremendous blow to both Soares and Guimaraes, as this is now the second time in only seven months that they have lost one of their superstar "UFC Champion" clients...sorry...I meant, "family members."
The most ironic part of the story?
The fact that Aldo decided to retain the management services of Brazilian coach and training legend, Andre Pederneiras (pictured above with former WEC fighter, Will Ribeiro), who coincidentally was the only one who actually stuck by Ribeiro's side after his career-ending motorcycle accident, thus becoming like a father-figure to Will and his family when so many others walked away and disappeared from Will's life forever.
"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."
If you ask me, Aldo made the right move.
The plot thickens.
These are my opinions. If you don't like them...I have others. Feel free to check them out at www.mrjamesryan.com

I Am A Norwegian
By Wayne Pike
"Ich bin ein Berliner" is what John F. Kennedy said when he went to Berlin, Germany. He meant to say that he was one with the people of that city, but to the Germans it came out as, "I am a doughnut." Although I am no John Kennedy, I would like to claim that "I am a Norwegian" by my actions. Of mostly German blood, I make this claim to Norwegian ancestry because I have become an eater of lutefisk. I have come to dine on lutefisk at regular intervals at a neighboring Lutheran church. They have a lutefisk dinner every November and I am a regular.
The first time I attended was when I was just out of college and new in their town. I went alone and ended up seated with seven ladies whom I shall describe as small in stature and relatively mature, having already outlived a husband or two. The serving began with the mashed potatoes, rutabagas, lefse, and meatballs. The lady across the table from me took each serving dish from the server, helped herself, and then passed it on to her buddy. By the time the dish reached me, there was still plenty left. That is, until we got to the lutefisk. I could not believe the heaps of jiggly fish the ladies piled on their plates. When the lutefisk platter got to me, there were just bits of slippery white material left. I didn't know it then, but I found out later, that the ladies were sorting through the good stuff and leaving me with the overcooked and bony leftovers. When the server brought seconds and then thirds, the pattern was repeated. Those ladies loved their lutefisk and were not about to let my presence slow them down or impede their consumption. I get along well with older ladies and they generally take to me, but watching them eat lutefisk unnerved me. It was like sitting among a pack of coyotes gorging on a fawn.
From then on, the experience has been much better. I have even learned some of the terminology of lutefisk. For example, to establish myself as an eager eater, I learned that it is polite and appropriate to ask questions of my table mates. "Have you been to many fish suppers this season?" is a good way to start followed by, "How have you found the fish this year?" Asking about their attendance at fish suppers is simply a way of finding out how gullible your dining companions might be. Referring to lutefisk simply as "the fish" is a signal that you know all about it, almost as if you had gone out and caught it yourself. The rest of the chatter waits until later because everyone very quickly jams their mouths full of lefse, one of the true delights of the evening.
This time I found myself seated next to a true "fish" connoisseur. His last name was Carlson and I suspect he just might have been a Norwegian. He was from one of those towns in Iowa that is named after some tree by some river like Pine River or Oak Lake or maybe it was Cedar Falls. Anyway, he and his friend, a wizened and tattooed old salt, were making the lutefisk supper rounds. The two of them made it to a different lutefisk feed every night. This night they were about a hundred miles from home and loving every minute of it. Carlson rated the lutefisk as excellent and the value of the supper overall as, "One of the best. But, they are all good." He said that what made this one exceptional was that they served rutabagas instead of some lesser vegetable like corn and they served a selection of desserts. Carlson went after lutefisk like a walrus goes after a seal. He troubled me to pass him "the fish" several times after the rest of us had filled ourselves to over stuffed status.
My own consumption of the revered fish was somewhat more subdued. On the first round, after Carlson had meticulously chosen his serving, I boldly selected two slabs of lutefisk, each about the size of a deck of cards. I immersed it in more melted butter than is good for anyone. The fish was as good as I remembered. I added a bit of salt and pepper to give it some texture. There were only a couple bones. My only complaint was that I was sitting under a ceiling fan and the melted butter congealed around the fish faster than I would have liked. I had to eat fast.
After the supper, I went to visit my friend, Dwain, a good Norwegian who first got me going to the lutefisk dinner. I stopped at his house only to learn from his wife that he was still at the church cooking lutefisk. She was not a lutefisk eater and had not been at the church at all that day. When the lutefisk chef got home, he walked over to give her a hug and she promptly responded, "Get away from me. You smell like dead mice." That hurt.
Oh, did I mention that I am a regular lutefisk eater? This makes twice that I have had lutefisk. The first time was twenty-six years ago. I am looking forward to my next regular lutefisk dinner. Like I said, "I am a Norwegian."

WASHINGTON, April 7, 2006 The U.S. Senate confirmed Gordon England as the 29th deputy secretary of defense during a Capitol Hill voice vote conducted yesterday, according to a statement from England's office.

Now you see me, now you don't
Work > RL. I am living proof of this today and this is all the blog post you're going to get.
Still no luck with the FF XIV beta — anyone else?
EDIT – the BetaForce is strong in me. It seems to be working now, at least as far as getting to the "OMG OMG LET ME IIIIIN!" page. Applied. Waiting.
EDIT – and in. Code sent. Now I get to spend 17 days downloading the client. Good thing I have a lot of work to do, eh?
Once you get your code, the process is Account Management –> Select Services –> New service blah blah. Thought I'd add this because it's not clear where you should go once you hit the account management page (unless you actually read the whole mail *cough*).

It isn't easy for homeowners to discuss the complexities of property insurance — beyond saying that they pay way too much for it.
But in a series of articles called "Storm of Money," The Post and Courier's Tony Bartelme has given property owners enough information to explain to their representatives in Columbia why they are dissatisfied — often really, really dissatisfied — with what they are paying and how the industry works in this state.
And legislation submitted by Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, and gaining traction in Columbia, sets out to gather data, address concerns and ensure that consumers and legislators have the information they need to handle their business effectively.
Sen. Davis' bill is a work in progress. But its four basic tenets make sense:
■ Homeowners must be empowered as informed consumers — able to shop for fair prices and make sound choices. The state's insurance commissioner would be the facilitator.
■ More insurance providers must be willing to do business in South Carolina because they are confident it is a fair and profitable market. The more providers, the more competition and the better prices for consumers.
■ Consumers should be encouraged to lower their premiums by making improvements to their property. Sen. Davis' bill would increase funding that allows those upgrades to win homeowners tax credits, and would make people aware of other incentives related to property insurance.
■ The Legislature and the public need to receive regular, accurate and understandable data about the industry in South Carolina and elsewhere. What are the premiums? What are the profits?
Wisely, the senator's approach is not for the state to interfere in the insurance business overmuch, but instead to foster a market-oriented environment.
At this stage, a special subcommittee of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee is holding meetings to hear from different stakeholders. The plan is to meet around the state so that more people can attend.
"It won't happen quickly," Sen. Davis tells us. "It is complex and needs careful consideration. I expect the subcommittee will continue work on this throughout the summer and fall and bring a revised bill forward early in 2014."
The chairman of the subcommittee, Sen. Luke Rankin, R-Myrtle Beach, has committed to keeping this bill moving forward. And Raymond Farmer, the new S.C. insurance commissioner, has pledged his support and cooperation. Initially, the former lobbyist for the insurance industry declared that premiums in South Carolina are reasonable. But to his credit, he agreed to re-examine the facts and now concedes that some premiums are not commensurate with the risk assumed by providers.
That confusion is likely an omen of what is to come.
For example, Mr. Bartelme, after consulting with numerous experts, found that South Carolinians pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the country.
But in a letter to the editor, Russ Dubisky, executive director of the South Carolina Insurance News Service, said only 12 states have lower insurance rates than South Carolina.
Those whose insurance rates have skyrocketed — statewide, rates have increased 71 percent in the past 10 years — would have no trouble deciding whose figures are correct. But the disparity is a clear indication that Sen. Davis is correct in asserting the need for accurate, consistent data.
Such dissonance is also a reason for the Legislative Audit Council to investigate the homeowners insurance industry in South Carolina. Its clear, unbiased judgment would provide a solid foundation for the Legislature as it proceeds with reforms. In 1997, the LAC provided an automobile-insurance assessment that the Legislature used as a basis for comprehensive reform.
Homeowners insurance has a profound effect on consumers, business, and the real estate market. The subcommittee considering Sen. Davis' bill intends to hear from all sides.
If the final product is property insurance reform that gives consumers — and insurers — a fair, honest and competitive market, it will be well worth the wait.

Don't expect Rita Ora to sing about heartbreak, because, well, she hasn't had any. The 21 year-old superstar on the verge — who gossipmongers have currently dating Drake — swung by the VH1 offices here in Times Square last week to talk about a bunch of things; her new single, "How We Do," the Rihanna comparisons, and her forthcoming album. "One thing I can say is I don't have that many heartbreak tracks on this album because I haven't been through a heartbreak," she says in her adorable British accent.
What we can expect from her album, however, is a mixture of various genre influences including reggae, pop and jazz. Ora considers her album to be different, something everyone can listen to. "I have influences from my reggae side of like Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Vybz Kartel and Mavado. Then I have the 'Hollaback' Gwen Stefani kind of thing." The buzz around the Roc Nation signed singer continues to increase, but we'll have to wait until after the summer (hopefully September!) for the untitled debut album. And what does she have to say about what we're all dying to know the title, "The title definitely has a few names," she says excitedly, throwing out titles like Let's Run Away, Fair Is Fair or the eponymous Rita Ora. "I write songs and can't even put my mind on one god damn title." Check out our video above to hear Ora talk more about her upcoming album, and check back here this week for more updates from her (including her new video for "How We Do," which should drop in the next few days)!
