McGuyer Homebuilders, Wheelock Street Capital join partnership parade
- Jennifer Dawson
Joint ventures created to acquire distressed home sites are developing at almost a faster pace than actual home construction.
A new partnership formed by McGuyer Homebuilders Inc., or MHI, and Wheelock Street Capital LLC has acquired 3,000 home sites in Texas for more than $15 million.
Houston's largest homebuilder will develop the home sites and build on some, while others will be marketed for sale to different builders.
MHI is the third local homebuilder since the beginning of March to arrange a private equity deal for acquisitions. Investors are lining up for a chance to buy home lots at 30 percent to 50 percent less than development cost.
David Weekley Homes and LGI Homes are also trying to capitalize on the buying opportunities (see related box on page 54A).
MHI's newly cemented partnership with Greenwich, Conn.-based Wheelock unites the local homebuilder with a real estate private equity firm backed by institutional capital.
Founded in 2008 by Merrick Kleeman and Jonathan Paul, Wheelock pursues acquisitions and recapitalization opportunities in the hospitality, multifamily, condominium and residential land/home building sectors.
MHI ranked No. 1 on Houston Business Journal's 2010 list of the Largest Houston-Area Homebuilders, with $325.7 million in local gross revenue last year.
The company builds under a collection of brand names including: Pioneer Homes, Plantation Homes, Coventry Homes and Carmel Builders.
MHI has sold more than 37,000 homes since the company was formed in 1988.
The first transaction for MHI and Wheelock involved the acquisition of 3,000 home sites in eight residential communities in Houston, Dallas and Austin.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION This is an unfiltered Belgian Style Blonde Ale. The beer is blonde in color from the pale malted barley varieties. It is delicately hopped with Styrian Golding and Celeia for medium bitterness and aroma. Sugars are added for higher attenuation, following the practices of some Belgian brewers. Belgian ale yeast is used to add complex flavor esters. This beer is unfiltered and yeast is left in for additional conditioning. The beer is named Fatale because it is 8.5% alcohol by volume and will catch up with you if youre not careful.

News Brief
Tiffany Unveils Smaller, More Affordable Stores
Oct 27, 2008, 1:05 PM
Tiffany & Co. has unveiled a new concept store, reports Women's Wear Daily, designed to highlight its contemporary-and lower-priced-items.
WWD says the Glendale, Calif. store, with 2,600 square feet, sells jewelry in the $80 to $42,000 range--with average prices of between $200 to $5,000. Engagement rings and statement pieces, its priciest items, are not available.
Tiffany reportedly has been testing the new format for two years, and believes it may have the potential to expand to 70 units--all in markets where it operates larger stores, opening three to five of the new format stores per year.--Sarah Mahoney

Babylon Sup.: New State Test Results Still a Shock
Despite lower test scores, district officials feel confident as Common Core becomes further engrained.
Superintendent Richard Rozakis told the large summer crowd he, along with other school district heads had been forewarned about the expected results, but he said he was still surprised by the drop across the island, including within the Babylon School District.
"We want all of our children to be college and career ready," Rozakis noted. "The strategy is have every child ready is the Common Core Standard... unfortunately, this is the result."
Dan D'Amico, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, gave a presentation to those in attendance showing the results for Babylon's grades three through eight with the year-over-year difference, noting the tests had gotten dramatically harder than in previous years.
The new tests give score rankings based on the child's level of competence in the subject matter, with "1" being considered well-below proficiency and "4" considered excelling in the standards.
In English-Language Arts, Babylon students ranged anywhere from 38 to 52 percent within the "3" and "4" ranges while Math scores ranged from 34 to 48 percent.
Despite what was understood by many as underwhelming scores, Rozakis reminded district parents the school system was considered in "good standing" and said the children were receiving "an outstanding 21st Century education" in the district.
"I think its a good document," D'Amico said, referring to the Common Core, but also noted he had "some issues with it."
"It's not insurmountable," he added.
The full results and breakdown from the new state tests, as well as the presentation given by D'Amico can be found above or on the school district's website.

Perhaps the BUFSD should do away with the tracking system that supposedly makes the students feel good and teach all the sturdents at the same level. Also, sports teaches them to win not to prepare for the real world.

I'm going crazy with the url rewrite!
Scenario: - I have a store with 2 store views (languages) - I change the scope attribute of "url key" from Global to Store view so I can specify different url key depend by the language
The problem: In the english view (the non default view) not every where the path is traslated. The pages with this problem are: new.phtml, home_product_viewed.phtml, product_viewed.phtml, checkout/onepage/link.phtml
Instead, browsing the categories all the links are correctly translated.
Is this a know issue? there a solution? I'm doing something wrong?
Tnx folks!
try to use url rewrite
Yes, i was using url rewrite.
Anyway, with the latest version (1.1.1) they solves this issue.

Great alternative to a hotel room in a good central location for most tourist attractions, shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend for groups... of friends and it is suitable for family stays too. Room was a little worn but very clean and exactly what we needed for a touristy visit. Fridge, cooker and microwave an extra bonus. Small supermarket very close buy that sold all major items. No staff immediately to hand (the apartment is in more of a residential building) but this was not a problem as we had no issues. Full contact details were included in the pack up and they had an office nearby. Taxi from airport took approx 30mins in traffic. de Brian78 de Bedford le 30/09/2013

Modular toolkit for Data Processing MDP The Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP) is a Python data processing framework. From the user's perspective, MDP is a collection of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and other data processing units that can be combined into data processing sequences and more complex feed-forward network architectures. From the scientific developer's perspective, MDP is a modular framework, which can easily be expanded. The implementation of new algorithms is easy and intuitive. The new implemented units are then automatically integrated with the rest of the library. The base of available algorithms is steadily increasing and includes signal processing methods (Principal Component Analysis, Independent Component Analysis, Slow Feature Analysis), manifold learning methods ([Hessian] Locally Linear Embedding), several classifiers, probabilistic methods (Factor Analysis, RBM), data pre-processing methods, and many others.

Meir Panim's Tiberias Free Restaurant not only provides warm meals, but the opportunity to socialize as well.
More disturbing yet were Netanyahu's generally secular views about life and human history.
Perhaps by using secular barometers to measure how we value and enhance life, Netanyahu was simply trying to establish a common ground with the other delegates, to impress them with Israeli accomplishments they could perceive and appreciate. Certainly, the long list of Israel's achievements in the scientific and technological domains ("leading innovations in science and technology, medicine and biology, agriculture and water, energy and the environment") is quite impressive.
But one might hope that as the leader of the Jewish state, Netanyahu would embrace a truer and more complete understanding of how we perceive the world and our significant, divinely mandated role within it.
Maybe it is asking too much from an irreligious head of state to expect him to acknowledge there is more to life than the humanistic aspirations he expressed. Perhaps he really does believe the Jews are just another nation, willing and able to make their fair contribution to the inexorable march of history. We, however, certainly cannot support that component of his address.
Rashi's first commentary on the Torah (Bereishis 1:1) focuses on this very point. He states that the Torah began with the account of creation for one simple reason: "So that if the nations of the world were to say to Israel, 'you are thieves, for you conquered the lands of the seven nations,' [Israel) will say to them, 'The whole earth belongs to God. He created it, and He gave it to the one that he found to be proper in His eyes.' "
We understand that we were given our precious land for a purpose. It is not simply to serve as a place of refuge for Jews fleeing persecution or even a homeland like all others. If that were the case, there would have been no need for us to conquer a land that was already occupied by other nations.
Instead, we were given the land of Israel because God intended for us to do something special with it, to develop it into a spiritual center from which to elevate all of humanity.
Hopefully, this more elevated view will soon be shared by all Israel, from the political leadership down, so that we can proudly and collectively embark on our true mission: to bring about the final redemption and with it the long-awaited fulfillment of Isaiah's vision of a time when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore."
And with that, we will finally be able to put the political farce that is the United Nations, as well as Ahmadinejad and his odious ilk, out of their collective misery.

A fascinating Biblical echo
So much of the struggle between Israel and the Arabs continues to concern space.
Throughout the past week we have thanked Hashem for the improbable defeat of the powerful Seleucid forces by a small, untrained band of Jewish fighters. We also celebrated the story's one open miracle, when the menorah's lights burned for eight consecutive days following the Temple's rededication.
The exchange was brief and simple in its content, yet profound in its implications.
One morning this past summer, I davened at a shul in Passaic, New Jersey. Passaic was our new home as of mid-July, following nearly a decade of school leadership in other communities. After tefillah, I opened a conversation with someone who had also just concluded his tenure as a principal out of state. He informed me he had left the field of education entirely and had moved to the tri-state area to go into business with a relative. In the course of our talk, he mentioned that another colleague, also young by comparative standards, was not returning to the school he had helped found out west.
Throughout our nation's long history we have resided in countless countries and lived under numerous governmental regimes. For the most part, our existence in the diaspora has been difficult at best, intolerable at worst.
Earlier this month the London Games were all the rage. Tens of thousands descended upon Great Britain's crown jewel to witness the Olympics and cheer for their respective countrymen.
After three-plus years of economic challenge and uncertainty, we remain anxious for positive news, the kind that will finally let us believe the worst is fully behind us. Unfortunately, the outlook for the 2012 global economy remains uninspiring: recession in Europe, anemic growth in the U.S. and a sharp slowdown in China and other emerging-market economies all weigh on economist forecasts.
Asara B'Teves, the 10th of Teves, commemorates the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar that ultimately culminated with the First Temple's destruction on the 9th of Av the following year.
The twelve-member bipartisan congressional "super committee" on spending cuts formally conceded defeat late last month, after failing to reach common ground on the issues of tax increases and spending cuts.
The morning of November 8 (11 Cheshvan) was an unusual one for me. I had awakened early in preparation for a flight out of town to deliver a presentation at a teacher in-service program in the New York area. I scrolled through my inbox only to learn that Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, rosh yeshiva of Mir Jerusalem, had passed away hours before.

Santa Ana and Costa Mesa
Ethnically diverse Santa Ana is the region's largest city and the governmental hub of Orange County (the county's administrative offices and courts are here). It adjoins Costa Mesa, the OC's cultural epicenter and home to one of Southern California's toniest and most expensive shopping centers, South Coast Plaza. This designer-dominated mall is connected by sky bridge to the Orange County Performing Arts Center, which has evolved into one of America's premier cultural entertainment complexes. City lines blur here, making it hard to tell exactly where you are, but the bottom line is, this is where you can catch a glimpse of Orange County's cosmopolitan face.

Hiya's, Only my second post here but i am chuffed Well the card arrived as i was about to get some sleep Quick mess around i got http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/7d52m/ Then just after http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/e2duf/ Seems a heat issue is obviously the culprit as i just whacked fan to max and all was well, not surprising with no real fan temp strats lol Gonna sort a bios soon and then when water blocks ship i should be able to push her passed 1k/1k and another card will join this one next payday for x-fire bliss (i hope) Snap some screenies as n when TTFN Def
Nice , I nearly got one of those, in the end I opted for the sapphire toxic with the VapourX cooling, purely because it's silent, mine does 1050mhz without mods and with a slight voltage bump in rivatuner I can get 1100mhz but mine probably cost a little more than yours so i recon you did well there.
4890's are clocking beasts, if I didn't have my card I would prob be going for one. Very nice results!
Heya's, Only had a quick test, cheers for replies though Tucking into fish n chips now, then might do battle with fan settings and see about setting a nice bios up for it I have an x48 mobo so gonna get another card next payday Arma2 here i come lol Ohh Tatty i see you're from worcestershire, i'm across the east in staffordshire , small world he he TTFN Def
Hiya's, Was hoping my other 4890 would get delivered yesterday (sat 27th june) but nope It's being delivered tomorrow monday Anyways After checking through the XfX Black Edition bios, i picked up on the voltage resistor difference in the 0x18 and also the temp/fan stategy So i ammended my bios after saving original (not making that mistake again !! dohh) to match the black edition I am happy to say everything is great, fans a touch louder abviously as it's now set at higher rpm's at certain temps (same as BE) Chuffed again, and hopefully my card coming tomorrow won't let me down either oc-wise http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/7rpr4/ I just love flashing gpu bios's, less worry than a mobo bios for me lol Have Fun Def
Hi defiance,I'm considering a 4890 for my new build in the next month. Could you fill out your computer specs in the control panel. What resolution are you going to be gaming at?, would be nice to know how the 4890's are currently performing at 1920 x 1200. I'll keep watching this thread and good look with the crossfire
Hiya, Lol just done specs n realised i hadn't put res i use, anyways it's 1920x1200 In call of duties the card's that good i don't even have fraps running In the new arma2 (i am addicted to it lol) with everything mixing up with patches and suggested tweaks/settings i can't comment really yet, but when i get used to controlling the settings etc But put it like this, compared to my 4870 512 it's like night and day Neighbour's gonna sign for delivery tomorrow luckily, finish early tomorrow anyways so hopefully i can sort the x-fire X-fire virgin, so hopefully it's not too difficult !! Anyways i'll post back after other card goes in and hopefully it's a decent clocker like this card Have Fun Def EDIT::: Did a 3dMark 06 earlier, scored 16725 (no idea if that's good or bad, and even if the 06 test really applies to a 4890)
nah, with the newer cards from Nvidia and ATI u should use vantage, as i heard something like 3d06 doesn't take advantage of all the SPU's available in current high end cards. I mean with my build and when i had my 8800GT, i scored like 14,8XX in 3d06 but my build isn't anywhere near as powerful as your machine. 3d06 is kinda useless now for current gen cards; vantage does a better job at showing the performance of current cards, and performance differences.
Hiya a ump, Just dl'ing vantage now And while i'm here, what min psu for my system ?? (i mean single psus instead of my 2 working together) Cheers Def
well i'm not a pro at this, but if water cooling draws power from your computer i'd want a solid 700watt with the rest of your build minimum, though i'd get an 800watt just to give your PSU more breathing room and longevity. Though your current system(if H2O cooling doesn't draw from PC) should run with your 620watt, it's a great quality PSU. if you want to check yourself, i've used this calculator and it's the best i've found imo http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine i wasn't sure what water cooling u had or if it drew power from the computer, which can add 80-125watts to system watt usage. if the watercooling doesn't draw power from your pc i don't see why your current PSU can't handle the load.
For two 4890's, an overclocked quad and watercooling with the pump etc coming off the main power supply you need at least an 800W PSU. Tests show that without the watercooling they can run fairly happily on a 750.
Hiya's, Will the Akasa 400w run 1x4890's at black edition clocks you think and also a gpu cooling loop onto the akasa 400w (2x Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12V DC Pump, one as-is for cpu and a new one for gpu loop) ?? Ohh, just about to bench using the free dl of vantage so will post back in a while So then you can tell me if the scores any good for my sys specs Cheers Def
Ok vantage benchies Sys spec as per my dropdown Gpu Score 10231 Cpu Score 12672 3D Mark Score P10748 Means nothing to me really, hope it's decent for my trusty q6600 Have Fun Def
hi guys @ Defiance could you send me our upload your bios from your orginal card. You have a XFX 4890 right? i reflashed bios and i didnt save and you have same card so i assume the same bios. would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Infact u have the XT my bad, wish i had got the XT now as i heard it has the stronger core. ATM in at 950/1000
Hiya Reefer, I can point you in the right direction for a bios i think Gimme a few and i'll post back
in have seen the bios for the database but diffrent bios string/number I suppose i was looking for one that it came shipped with. o and could u maybe kindly tell me what u change in your bios to be like the black edition EDIT: WOOOOOOOOT! found it!!!!!!
Reefer, I do know XfX posted an updated bios for your card (read on ocuk forums yesterday) It was for a different fan temp/cooling strat If you reg'd the card on XfX site then goto support i think, bios etc should show If not hang while i try and track a copy down, could always ask in a post on the forum if someone will upload a copy of their bios In the next post i'll describe how and what i changed for you Def ps: lemme know if updated bios shows for you on xfX site
well i have the xfx 4890 but not the XT version. my fault on that part. I found my bios on the database here. so obviously we dont have the same cards, bios will be different. Im confident that i can reach 1000 core on the normal xfx 4890. I havent really stressed it yet but im at 950/1000 from 875/975 with no voltage increase. I havent had any update on the bios yet. but i will let u know if i do? problem at them moment is tho that if i stress test with furmark it sends my card up 100c. but its very very stable for 3dmark and vantage and in all games
Hiya, Ahh it's in the vault, that's good to know Here's a quick howto i did, if you dos flash using the usual dos app http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=1452036#post1452036 Some people have got the non xt version to be specs, read the link and it hopefully might help you Have Fun Def
hi, using the TPU gputool voltage tweak im able to run the card at 1000core and 1000 memory no problems and it passes both ati tool and furmark with 5 mins tests.
Niceone Reefer, You going to mod your bios and be done with software ?? (great bit of sw though) Maybe get to mess some more with mine at the weekend Well congrats again and have fun with the card Def
well i was going to mod the bios as it can be done very easily but if i burn out the card, (which i doubt will ever happen as same spped as black edition and it uses same heatsink) then RMA it then they might void my warranty if they see i have changed the bios. Tbh it works at the clocks with just a few clicks at startup. Im gona leave it like this for now and if the few clicks start to anoy me then i will flash the bios. So you gona push it a little more then 1000mhz on the core? i think im just gona leave it as it is for now, as its a great improvement and for £60 less then the black edition with the same results but i have heard that some people have had the card faster but that was maybe on watercooling not to sure.
Same as min there good with extra voltage and hit over 1000\1100. And yes heat is the issue. Dam VRMs. I have the MUSASHI on mine with the alloy part of the stock cooler as i did not want to stick those or any heatsinks on them due to possible issue''s later. MUSASHI needs better fans though to make it work better but i can over clock it too 950\1100 and no noise of the cooler lol. Problem i'm having is finding real good 100mm fans for it. MIGHT buy another cooler like the TT which should be out soon for it. Great Card... With a great warranty
Heya, Yeah, look at it as you got a discount of £60 I might mess a bit more if i get time saturday, i did the other day but with one thing and another (damn o2 conx went fubar) i got out of the modding mood lol, though like you the 1000/1000 is nice on these gpu's, and deffo not to be sniffed at with stock cooling Yeah only flash bios if and when you're sure Sounds nice and stable anyways and that's all that matters Have Fun Def

Gallery: How Oregon stocks fared in 2012
Radisys investors hope the company can recover from its late-year blahs. The company fared lowest among Oregon companies tracked by the D.A. Davidson Regional 99 Index.
- Andy Giegerich
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
The Davidson 99 measures companies in seven western states, including 20 in Oregon. Broadly speaking, those 20 are among the region's best-known publicly traded firms and they gained a healthy 11.59 percent during 2012. In contrast, Dow Jones index companies picked up 7.26 percent. The NASDAQ gained a 15.91 percent while the S&P 500 gained 13.41 percent.
Public Oregon companies in the D.A. Davidson 99 Regional Index outpaced national counterparts tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average but lagged behind their regional counterparts as well as the high-flying NASDAQ and S&P 500 indexes.
See 2012's gains and losses >> |
Non-Oregon companies in the Davidson 99 rose 13.42 percent on average since the beginning of 2012. The Davidson index tracks companies based on their Dec. 2011 close on an index of 100.
The top-performing Oregon company among the local Davidson businesses was Lithia Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: LAD), which earned 71.2 percent from its 2011 closing value. Umpqua Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: UMPQ) also gained 42 percent.
Radisys Corp (Nasdaq: RSYS) and Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: LSCC) lost 41.1 percent and nearly 33 percent respectively.

i am alone,
alone as the tiniest wren,
hidden from view
in the ivy of the day.
alone with its tiny song,
voice of an angel,
heard by the fleeting air,
carried beyond
until its end.
i am alone,
alone as the daffodil
just touched by light,
in the border of life.
alone with the shifting fragrance
of time,
and it's shackles,
and it's own peace.
i am alone,
and can see only one side,
as i lay in the dew,
resisting gravity.
and i will always be alone,
alone as the goose,
alone as the first swallow,
alone as the eddy
that spins under the bridge,
this is beautiful lk, it reminds me, that indeed all of us are really alone…. we may be joined to a partner or a family, but we are single entities…. who must find peace within themselves, I love the way this lead me into a sweet moment of contemplation on the stars, thank you :) gs :)
thank you so much kt, thats exactly what i hoped for with this piece…i find sometimes that feeling alone makes me feel stronger somehow…gs! :))
– uncleblack
I've always thought so too. x
thanks jane, im glad it reached you..
– uncleblack
At the end of the day – yes, we are all alone, sometimes even in a crowd – we are brought into the world usually on our own, exit at own own time, and "together" is the warm thoughts of shared life – your words you share do make a difference to others and are relateable to many i'm sure – for me I look forward to reading how people view life differently – at times UB your words have given me hope, a new perspective and comfort with images of what my home was like as a child – in my sometimes closed view – May light and hope touch your heart today and find you not so alone…cheers
thats is such a kind comment sp2, i am quite touched that my words could give anyone hope, that has truly made my day. i never really feel alone knowing there are such generous people out there…
– uncleblack
many many thanks for the feature jane :))

You did a fantastic job of showing the peace and clarity that can come with being alone. I love those moments when we can take the time to just "be"…you captured that feeling perfectly!

"Spoleto - Festival 30 June to 16 July 2006" Spoleto by icunme
Spoleto Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 124 photos
The walled town of Spoleto is located at the head of a large, broad valley, surrounded by mountains, Spoleto has long occupied a strategic geographical position. It appears to have been an important town to the original Umbri tribes, who built walls around their settlement in the 5th century BC, some of which are visible today. 126 km (78 miles) North of Rome - population according to the 2003 census was 38,000.
The Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds) was founded in 1958. Because Spoleto was a small town, where real estate and other goods and services were at the time relatively inexpensive, and also because there are two indoor theatres, a Roman theatre and many other spaces, it was chosen by Gian-Carlo Menotti as the venue for an arts festival. It is also fairly close to Rome, with good rail connections.
The festival has developed into one of the most important cultural manifestations in Italy, with a three-week schedule of music, theater and dance performances. For some time it became a reference point for modern sculpture exhibits, and works of art left to the city by Alexander Calder and others are a testimony to this effort.
The name of the festival comes from the parallel festival, Spoleto Festival USA, held in Charleston, South Carolina. After disputes with the Menotti family, the American Spoleto Festival is now independent. For a short period of time, a third parallel festival was also held in Australia.
It is a very important cultural event; it is usually held in late June-early July and this year (2006) will continue from 30 June to 16 July.

Protoje's album hits international charts
Friday, January 28, 2011
THE debut album by artiste Protoje is top 10 in three territories representing a rare chart rise by a local act.
The album was two in Canada, three in the US and four in France on the iTunes Reggae Albums chart for the album released Tuesday.
Protoje released the album The Seven Year Itch independently via his producer's label, Don Corleon Records. It will result in them receiving most of the album sales compared with less than 10 per cent under a major reggae label.
Offers by major reggae labels are increasingly unattractive for artistes during an era of low sales, but the labels themselves are hit by high piracy. Many reggae albums sell under 5,000 copies which means that an independent artiste would only need to sell 500 copies to equal the royalties earned under a major deal.
"There were talks with various distributors and for whatever reason we decided to do it on our own. Because we would have to make compromises and we were not willing to do," Protoje told Splash last week in a phone interview.
Protoje anticipated greater exposure than sales from his debut album: He now has a bit of both. The album released digitally on iTunes the largest internet music store will be supported with a tour of France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland tour starting February.
"The point of this album is for exposure," he said an interview last December. "I will be selling this album between now and kingdom come."
It's a rare occurrence for local artistes to chart on iTunes amidst the fall in album sales. Contextually, an album released last month of hits by Vybz Kartel, the most popular local deejay according to online searches, did not top 10 chart based on daily searches by the Observer.
"It took a long time to reach this point since in 2003 I decided to do this full time," he said on Tuesday at his album launch held at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston. "A lot of people who say that there is not any good music made anymore that is not true."
He wants the album to facilitate his touring into perpetuity.
"Its important how my music is viewed in 20 years from now. I am doing music for a legacy. I am not doing music for the now," he said then qualified his statement. "I am not worried about my legacy but the music will deal with legacy."
The 13-track album, produced by Don Corleon begins with the title track that chronicles Protoje's personal and musical journey, representing an informative reintroduction to his fans. It then proceeds into popular hits like Dread, Arguments, Rasta Love (featuring Ky-Mani Marley) and Roll.

Diary: Jackie Wilson says... Amis is OK
It's a while since Martin Amis wrote a novel of any great renown, but media types remain intent on sniffing out controversy in the poor chap's every utterance. So it was that last week he landed himself in a literary version of the Sky sexism row, with the Keysian contention that he'd only write a children's book if he had "a serious brain injury". Children's authors rushed to condemn him. "Arrogant twaddle," said Lucy Coats. "If he looked at the talent in children's literature he might change his mind," said Anthony Horowitz. "If I gave him £100 to write a children's book I bet he'd do a good one," agreed Roger McGough. Yet Amis has an ally in Jacqueline Wilson, creator of Tracy Beaker, who was today named the most borrowed author of the past 10 years in British libraries. "He's a very committed dad," she tells me. "When one of his daughters was younger, Martin and his wife queued up to get my book signed for her. He was sweet and charming and he's committed to making sure children are brought up reading children's books. He just likes to make dramatic statements." You'd think, with all this publicity, that he might sell a few more books.
* Dreamy Zac Goldsmith, the millionaire MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston, seemed more chuffed to be named Most Fanciable MP 2011 than his joint title-holder Chuka Umunna, of nearby Streatham. Neither Umunna nor his alleged girlfriend, women's winner Luciana Berger, saw fit to give a statement on their triumph. But Goldsmith, 36, told reporters: "I'm sure voters in Richmond and Kingston will be thrilled to hear that I'm making good progress as their new MP." Sadly, Zac's Valentine's Day victory has not translated into Bieber-like web fever. A signed photo of the blond bombshell is selling on eBay for the modest starting price of £1.99, but has so far failed to attract a single bidder. (A signed Beckham shirt? £2,359.99.)
* Spare a thought for Elisa Roche, showbusiness editor of The Daily Express, whose copy appears as if dictated to her directly by her boss: philanthropist and pornographer, Richard Desmond. On Tuesday, brand synergy specialist Elisa penned 250 spectacularly optimistic words on the launch of OK! TV on Channel 5 (described by another critic as "colossally vapid"). The hand of Desmond was perhaps evident in her description of the programme's "patriotic red, white and blue studio"; in the accompanying picture, of a grinning Desmond sitting in said studio alongside the show's hosts; and in the fact that Desmond owns the Express, OK! and Channel 5. Yesterday, Elisa led a report with news that "Stephen Fry urged his Twitter followers – more than two million of them – to tune in to Channel 5." The Channel 5 documentary Fry had referred to was in a worthy cause: the Starlight Children's Foundation. Yet the other such cause to appear in Fry's Twitter feed on the same day (a BBC Comic Relief iPhone app) went curiously unmentioned. Desmond is, of course, renowned for his charity work, as well as for Asian Babes. Sadly, that knighthood's still in the post.
* US blogs carry news that James Van Der Beek, formerly of Dawson's Creek, will play "himself" in a new sitcom entitled Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23. With Matt LeBlanc also playing "himself" in the disappointing comedy Episodes, Gawker.com has implored the television industry: "Let's cool it with the washed-up actors playing themselves thing." And the Yanks think they have it bad: Channel 4's next hot sitcom Rick and Peter is to feature, as himself, "T4 presenter Rick Edwards".
* Crispin Mount, this column's amateur Cotswold correspondent, took a personal interest in the Coalition's abandoned forest sell-off, he informs me. Crispin's wife Evadne, who probably exists, has just returned from a visit to relatives in the Forest of Dean, where she learnt that local MP Mark Harper was forced to run for his life after a public meeting about the policy turned nasty. Harper, whose fat 11,064 majority suddenly looked a lot slimmer, was pelted with eggs by locals shouting (Crispin alleges): "Run, rabbit, run!" The chastened MP fled in a police van, which ran over a protester's foot in the melée. "He should have known better," says Crispin. "The clue's in his constituency's name. But then again, as Minister for Constitutional Affairs perhaps he knows that the Forest of Dean constituency will shortly be renamed 'Teak Furniture'."
