Kathleen Reiman
Granite Mountain II
Heart deeply reaching;
Scared sides, pinion's burned,
Lion's silenced screams reverberating
Off boulders cracked and scared black by passing Inferno
Winter's still and silent grip close upon her wounded face. Holding hostage earth's primal healing.
A coming promise not realized.
A sleeping of a million dreams.
A new awakening.
The air filled with sweet sounds:
Birds rioting, grass growing, new trees reaching timidly for the azure sky as the Mountain watches stoically;
reaching deeply into time
Primeval wisdom revealing healing secrets long held in the ancient rocks.
Fire's searing cleansing creates abundant new life.

Talking 'bout my generation
Are baby boomers so different from their Gen Y offspring? Meghan Woods compares her life with her parents.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Trevor Woods grew up in Subiaco, WA in the 1950s. No TV, no computers, pounds instead of dollars and fast food meant fish and chips.
Meghan Woods compares notes across the generation with her parents Trevor and Debbie about games, food, music and more.
Since television was first switched on all those years ago, do you think it's really changed that much? Baby Boomers Trevor and Debbie tell you what they think.
When it comes to employment, Generation Y are said to be lazy, demanding and far from loyal. Gen Y Meghan discovers whether her parents attitude to work is really that different.
Trevor's favourite games were based around war and fighting, not surprising in the post war era. Growing up at the time technology began to influence our lives, Meghan counts computer games among her favourites.
In the sixties music developed a conscience; the Vietnam war, peace, love and freedom.
By the 80s, the pop making machine was back in control.
What have Gen Y learned from their mothers about cooking, cleaning and looking after the home?
They can't save and they're in debt. Why are Generation Y so bad with money?
Trevor and Debbie Woods try and teach their daughter a thing or two about how to save money around the house.
Meat and three veg anyone? Not in the Woods household. Trevor surprises Meghan with his culinary skills.

Ukraine has gas reserves which could suffice for three-months supplies to Europe, the country's Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan said.
He told the Bulgarian National Radio that, in case of halting supplies to Ukrainian end users, Europe's energy delieveries will be guaranteed until June.
Ukraine stopped pumping fresh Russian gas into its energy system on Wednesday, amid a pricing dispute with Russia's energy giant Gazprom.

NORMAN — City council members are considering asking residents to vote on a proposed increase in the hotel/motel room tax.
Norman City Council considers vote on room rate tax increase
An ordinance calling for the election probably will be on the Jan. 8 city council agenda for a "first reading," City Clerk Brenda Hall said.
A first reading of a proposed ordinance means it's on the agenda for notification purposes but is not up for discussion.
The "second reading," or a public hearing on the proposal, would be Jan. 22.
Council members are contemplating asking voters to increase the tax by 1 percent, which would bring Norman's total hotel/motel tax rate to 5 percent.
Currently at 4 percent, the room tax is divided among the convention and visitors bureau, which gets 50 percent of the money; the arts, which get 25 percent; and parks, which get 25 percent.
Hall said the council is requesting that the division of money remain the same.
In a recent city council study session, most council members indicated support for a 1 percent increase in the room tax.
Oklahoma City has a 51/2 percent hotel/motel room tax, and most Norman City Council members said they preferred that Norman's rate remain below that level.
"If we're equal to Oklahoma City, we lose that competitive advantage," Mayor Cindy Rosenthal said.
If council members approve an ordinance calling for an election, the question would come before voters April 2, Hall said.

Police dragged in for Olympics
G4s's Buckles says Olympics shortfall was humiliating failure
- Image Credit: Reuters
- Soldiers pass the Olympic Stadium in the London 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford, east London on Tuesday.
London: Police have been dragged off the beat to work on the Olympics after dozens of G4S security guards failed to turn up for work, it emerged on Monday.
Just four of the 58 staff expected to report for duty at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, showed up, one of whom later disappeared.
In Salford, Greater Manchester, only 17 of the 56 G4S staff due at another Olympic team hotel could be bothered to present themselves for work.
Home Secretary Theresa May admitted on Monday that she has no idea how many G4S staff will turn up for work - raising the prospect that thousands more soldiers may have to be deployed, on top of the 3,500 who have already been called up.
'The precise balance of the numbers that they will be providing will become clear over the next few days,' she told MPs.
The political pressure was also growing last night as a series of leaked documents revealed that some officials have known of the problem for at least three months.
May claimed that ministers were told only last week that G4S could not deliver the 10,000 security guards it promised. But she was directly contradicted by London Mayor Boris Johnson, who said: 'Everyone that was organising the Olympics knew this was coming up ages ago.'
An internal G4S memo leaked last night revealed that the company's bosses deliberately failed to train people early because it would not be 'cost-effective'.
The chief executive officer of G4S, Nick Buckles, said his company's inability to provide security staff for the London Olympics was a humiliating failure.
Facing UK lawmakers on Tuesday to explain his company's staffing shortfall that forced the government to send in more soldiers and police, Buckles said he informed the Olympics delivery committee, Locog, of the breakdown on July 3. Theresa May said she knew of the shortfall eight days later on July 11.
Asked by Labour lawmaker David Winnick if it was a "humiliating shambles for the company," Buckles answered, "I can't disagree with you."
"It's not where we'd want to be," Buckles told lawmakers. "To get 10,000 people plus on the ground has been a huge logistical challenge. We didn't know the contract was not going to perform until very late on because the whole process is very back-ended in getting people ready for the games."
Buckles apologized again for the shortfall in staffing by G4S, the world's largest security company, which led to 3,500 extra troops being deployed. Officers from nine police forces have also been drafted in to bolster security at athletes' accommodation and games sites.
Buckles said his future position in the company is "not my current concern."
'First Priority'
"My first priority is to deliver as many people as we can on this contract," he said. "I feel I am the right person to make sure this happens."
The BBC reported today that only 20 of a promised 300 security staff showed up at an Olympics cycling center today. A call to G4S wasn't immediately answered.
Separately, G4S won't be charged over the death of a man restrained by three of its guards at London's Heathrow airport on an Angola-bound aircraft in 2010.
There isn't enough evidence for a trial because medical experts gave several potential causes for the death of Jimmy Mubenga, who was being deported from the U.K., and there's no proof a "sufficiently senior person" at G4S made a criminal failure to act, the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement today.

So, are you a Janet Evanovich fan? If yes, then you are most likely a Stephanie Plum fan. So, next question...have you been sitting on pins and needles waiting for One for the Money to come out? Have you seen the trailer yet?
I have to confess I was keeping up with things back when they announced the movie and the actors. (I still have reservations...but I'll blog about that another day.) Then with so many other things I kind of....well...forgot... Until last night!
The other night, as we were calmly watching TV after dinner, the "One for the Money" trailer commercial popped up onscreen for the first time ever. Yep, I squeed all over myself. Then raced to the computer to find it on YouTube and share it with my bestie, partner in crime, and fellow Plum lover Marlene Sanchez.
Keep Reading...All Hail the Glorious Stephanie Plum!

Expert: 'Flame' can sabotage computers, attack Iran
Hacked 311.
(photo credit:Thinkstock/Imagebank)
BOSTON - The powerful Flame computer virus is not only capable of espionage but it can also sabotage computer systems and likely was used to attack Iran in April, according to a leading security company, Symantec Corp.Iran had previously blamed Flame for causing data loss on computers in the country's main oil export terminal and Oil Ministry. But prior to Symantec's discovery, cyber experts had only unearthed evidence that proved Flame could spy on conversations on the computers it infects and steal data.Symantec researcher Vikram Thakur said on Thursday that the company has now identified a component of Flame that allows operators to delete files from computers, which means it can cause critical programs to fail or completely disable operating systems."These guys have the capability to delete everything on the computer," Thakur said. "This is not something that is theoretical. It is absolutely there."Flame was deployed at least five years ago and is the most sophisticated cyber spying program ever discovered. Researchers have been racing to better understand its capabilities ever since Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab uncovered Flame last month after the security firm was asked by a United Nations agency to look for a virus that Iran said had sabotaged its computers, deleting valuable data.Last week, researchers at Kaspersky Lab linked some of the software code in Flame to the Stuxnet cyber weapon, which was widely believed to have been used by the United States and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear program. Symantec later also said Stuxnet and Flame shared some code.Current and former US and Western national security officials told Reuters this week that the United States played a role in creating Flame. The Washington Post reported that US and Israel jointly developed Flame and used it to collect intelligence to help slow Iran's nuclear program.Iran complained about the threat of cyber attacks again on Thursday, saying it had detected plans by the United States, Israel and Britain to launch a "massive" strike after the breakdown of talks over Tehran's nuclear activities. . It was not clear if the cyber attack referred to Flame, or a new virus.Symantec declined to comment on who the firm believes is behind Flame.If Symantec's conclusions are validated, that means Flame could be used as a weapon to attack computers that run critical infrastructure systems, including dams, chemical plants and manufacturing facilities, security specialists said.Boldizsár Bencsath, an expert on cyber warfare with Hungary's Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security, said there was at least a 70 percent chance that Flame was used to attack Iran in April."Of course it can be used for sabotage," said Bencsath, who began investigating Flame several weeks before it was first reported to the public. "It may have been used to attack critical infrastructure and it may be used in the future."Sean McGurk, a former Department of Homeland Security official who helped direct the US effort to protect critical infrastructure from cyber attacks, said that Flame was not the first piece of malicious software designed to sabotage systems by deleting data.What makes it unique, he said, is that the data-wiping module works alongside a suite of other programs including the espionage tools that have previously been identified."It could render computing devices useless," said McGurk, who is now chief executive of a consulting firm known as NExt Generation Micro LLC.That presents a threat, he said, because computers are used in all sorts of industrial control systems, affecting everything from critical processes at manufacturing plants to the pressure inside water networks. "Cyber elements can have catastrophic impacts," he said.

Just finished viewing Animal House stream – Good movie. Quite enjoyable. There were a few funny parts, but I think that it was a tad dark. I would claim that it truly is worth watching though.

Voters in Iraqi Kurdistan are going to the polls in an election that pits the region's main two factions against each other for the first time in more than two decades. Security forces began voting earlier in the week.
A total of 1,129 candidates, including 166 women, are running Saturday for parliament's 111 seats, 30 percent of which are reserved for women. The parliament reserves 11 more for members of the autonomous region's religious and ethnic minorities, including Yezidis, Turkmen, and Assyrian and Chaldean Christians.
For the first time since 1992, Kurdistan's two main factions, regional President Massoud Barzani's Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) - projected to win the plurality of the seats - and Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), have competed against each other. A third contender, the Gorran Movement founded in 2009 by Nawshirwan Mustafa, also hopes to make a strong showing in the polls. Two smaller Islamic parties - the Kurdistan Islamic Union and the Islamic League - are hoping to make gains as well.
In the 2005 and 2009 elections, the KDP and PUK ran on a joint list. They have also rotated the region's premiership on a two-year basis. That agreement, too, has now ended.
In contrast to that monopoly, Gorran, or Change, has campaigned against what members call the two main parties' maladministration and corruption. The Gorran Movement won 25 of 111 seats in the 2009 parliament, compared to 30 for the KDP and 29 for the PUK. The newer party poses more of a threat to the latter, appealing to the faction's more urban constituency at a time when its leader, Talabani - the federal president of Iraq - lies gravely ill in a German hospital after a stroke.
More than 2.8 million citizens have registered to vote in 1,401 election centers and 6,720 polling stations in the autonomous region in northern Iraq.

A new doping code is set to come into force worldwide at the start of 2015. In Germany, a new code will also start up, which will place a more demands on the country's own anti-doping authority. And, that costs money.
The two "Bayern-chasers" meet on Sunday looking to edge closer to the German champions. The result in Munich the night before may have a bearing on the outcome of the game in Gladbach.

Howson is under extreme pressure. And Columbus is having a fire sale. A few weeks ago Bob Miller said during the game when we were playing CBJ that the OWNER of the CBJ wanted to blow the team up but Howson wanted to make a few tweaks. So if CBJ is entertaining trading Nash then that means the owner is doing what he wants and that's to blow the team up. And Howson has to do what he`s told even though he doesn't want it to go that direction. And when you do things you dont want to do there is usually pressure. In a GM`s world that is extreme pressure.

Gibdock says that its versatility has been in full demand across a wide range of vessel types in the year to the end of April 2014, proving, they say, that 'variety is the spice of life' for the geographically well-placed ship repair and conversion specialist.
Visitors have included both conventional steel ro-ro and ro-pax ferries, as well as aluminium high speed craft, dredgers, tankers, containerships, yachts, seismic survey ships and offshore support vessels. In addition the yard docked the large cruise ship, Saga Ruby, for an extensive package of refurbishment works.
"You can see we have had almost the full spectrum of vessel types in the yard," says Richard Beards, Managing Director. "This backs up our contention that Gibraltar is an excellent location for the shipping industry generally, and not just for certain niche categories of vessel."
One of the biggest projects handled so far in 2014, however, has been the docking of Van Oord's trailing suction hopper dredger, Lelystad. This is the second time that Lelystad has been to Gibdock for repairs and demonstrates ongoing confidence from Van Oord, a leading Dutch dredging contractor.
The high volume of work experienced this year has meant that at times it has proved challenging to keep to docking schedules. But, Richard Beards points out, "We have again successfully managed to deliver what we promised and not one ship has been undocked late this year, maintaining our impressive track record."

The Vatican is to mediate in talks intended to halt Venezuela's worst political unrest in a decade.
President Nicolas Maduro's Government and Venezuela's main opposition group agreed yesterday to begin talks.
Representatives of the South American regional bloc Unasur will also mediate, both sides said.
Clashes between security forces and pro-government militants and opposition demonstrators have killed 39 people since mid-February, according to official figures.
The crisis in Venezuela has erupted following protests over high inflation, crime and food shortages, with some demonstrators vowing to bring down the Government.
The dead have included government supporters, their opponents, and members of the security forces.
Formal talks are set to begin tomorrow.
In a letter, the Venezuelan Government formally invited the Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who is a former papal nuncio to a Venezuela, to be named a "good faith witness" to the dialogue.
A Vatican spokesman confirmed the Church's willingness to mediate, but gave no more details. The Holy See has said that it is willing to send Parolin.
Last week the Venezuelan bishops accused the Government of Nicolás Maduro of repression and violence, suggesting that the country is no longer ruled democratically.
In their strongest statement on the continued hostility between opposition supporters and the Government, the bishops said that the violent suppression of peaceful demonstrations had achieved nothing.
The cause of the crisis, said the statement, was the Government's attempt to implement its six-year plan, known as Plan de la Patria, "behind which hides a totalitarian system of government".
The statement was read last week by the President of the Bishops' Conference Archbishop Diego Padrón, who said the Government "was mistaken in its attempt to resolve the crisis with violence" but emphasised that the Church remained politically impartial.
"We denounce the abusive and disproportionate repression, the torture used on those who have been detained and the persecution of mayors and deputies who are opposed to the official party," said Archbishop Padrón, who was accompanied by Cardinal Jorge Urosa.
The Jesuit provincial in Venezuela, Fr Arturo Peraza, said that the country had become ungovernable without dialogue between the two sides.
"We have reached the stage where the question is no longer whether negotiation is viable but how many deaths and how much pain is needed before the two sides sit down and talk?" he said during a debate on the crisis.

Oculus Rift Should Not Have Been Open for Sale
Posted on Wednesday, March 26 @ 17:43:49 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
You mad, bro?
I'm not angry that Facebook swooped in and purchased Oculus Rift, regardless of the privacy concerns, its data harvesting of everything I might be doing while in virtual reality, and the idea that everything Facebook touches dies. For Minecraft's Notch, that's enough. No, I'm miffed that Oculus Rift made itself open for sale in the first place.
I know that this is business and everything they've done is likely legal, within the rules, and done several times before, but that doesn't begin to make up for the feeling that every backer of the VR headset on Kickstarter has been made a fool. I'm happy that Oculus Rift isn't going to run into money problems anymore, and that it's possible that the headset will come out at a lower price.
But there's an expectation that any money the Oculus received through crowdsourcing should have used to complete the product instead of being used to support the company earning two-billion dollars (and not giving the rest of us a portion of that profit or at least our money back since they absolutely don't need it anymore). Of course, that's not going to happen.
The worst part is that this creates a distrust from the "crowds" that back a project on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc. where we can never be sure whether our help at the beginning is going to come back to us in any way. I suppose that's a risk we take as an investor, but we certainly don't have to feel great about it. In fact, look at all those canceled pre-orders... ouch...

Based on a character conceived of by Ziggy Marley, written by Man of Action Studios and illustrated by Jim Mahfood, Marijuanaman promises to shatter all expectations — this is not the comic you think it is! The oversized deluxe hardcover graphic novel tells the tale of a noble extraterrestrial champion, who has arrived on Earth to deliver an important message and at the same time save his own planet.
"Marijuanaman represents the hope of the future… the hope that we will utilize all of the power that the universe has given us to save our planet," Marley explained.
"Ziggy's given us a great concept to go nuts with," stated Casey. "This book goes beyond just being a comic…this book is an experience." He's a founding partner of Man of Action Studios, which will produce the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series premiering in 2012 on US cable channel Disney XD.
Mahfood adds, "Ziggy Marley is a visionary. Marijuanaman is not going to be what people except it to be." He has worked on Clerks (with filmmaker Kevin Smith) and on Spider-Man books for Marvel, among other comics.
Marley's newest and fifth solo album, Wild and Free, will release along with Marijuanaman this spring.

Jamaican reggae/dancehall artist Sean Paul will not be performing at Rotorua's Raggamuffin festival this weekend.
With less than a week before Raggamuffin 2011 opens at the Rotorua International Stadium, concert promoters have announced that Paul will no longer be part of the line-up.
Paul will not be replaced, but the remaining major acts will play extended sets.
The line-up now features international artists Mary J Blige, Jimmy Cliff, Maxi Priest, The Original Wailers and Ky-Mani Marley. Kiwi musicians include Che Fu and the Krates, Nesian Mystik, Sons of Zion and 1814. Che Fu and the Krates replaced Salmonella Dub who were part of the original line-up.
Paul was one of the international artists in the line-up for Raggamuffin 2011.
However, he didn't perform at the Australian Raggamuffin festivals in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne last week but promoters told The Daily Post on Thursday he would still be performing in Rotorua. They have since announced he wouldn't be part of the festival.
Promoter Andrew McManus said it was with great regret that he announced Paul would not be performing in Rotorua.
"We are as much disappointed as I know his fans will be," Mr McManus said.
It has been reported that Paul tweeted on his Twitter page after missing the Australian concerts "This msg is 4 all my Australia peeps!!! I'm extremely upset that I couldn't make it 2 raggamuffin.I am sorry".
"4 reasons beyond my control I couldn't make it. Truss mi if thing were diff. AUSI AUSI AUSI RRR".
Mr McManus said even though Paul wouldn't be part of Raggamuffin 2011, the line-up would still be impressive.
"However, we know that Raggamuffin fans will not be disappointed in the event. It remains a huge line-up."
The 10-hour music festival is expected to attract a crowd of 30,000 people and promoters are expecting it to be the best Raggamuffin to date.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

Shaggy reportedly tops list of richest Reggae acts
The top 10 living Jamaican artistes have amassed some US$90 million (J$7.7 billion) in net worth, equivalent to the annual export earnings from bauxite or sugar based on data from an online media report released last week.
These artistes, more than others, sold millions of records, toured successfully and entered into successful business ventures, according to the urbanislandz.com report. It listed the net worth of:
1. Shaggy at US$22 million ($1.8 billion)
2. Jimmy Cliff at US$18 million ($1.5 billion)
3. Sean Paul at US$11 million ($944 million)
4. Ziggy Marley at US$10 million ($858 million)
5. Sean Kingston at US$7 million ($601 million)
6. Damian Marley at US$6 million ($515 million)
7. Maxi Priest at US$4.6 million ($395 million)
8. Buju Banton at US$4 million ($343 million)
9. Beenie Man at US$3.7 million ($318 million)
10. Bounty Killer at US$3 million ($258 million)
Verification of these figures are hidden within music and tour contracts, however, Urban Islandz says it has compiled its data from sources both online and offline.
"We strive to make sure the content we published is fully accurate but we cannot always guarantee this," it stated about its list. Urban Islandz, an entertainment company, said it compiled the data to highlight "that our reggae/dancehall artistes are doing well on the global scale in the face of mounting criticisms that our music is in decline".
Shaggy topped the list due to selling over 20 million copies worldwide of his 2001 album Hot Shot, but equally due to securing a lucrative royalty deal for that album better than 90 per cent of the industry, they said.
"Shaggy managed to sign a sweet deal with UMG, named MCA Records at the time, where he earned (greatly on) each album sold for Hot Shot. Majority of artistes are lucky to earn $1 off each album sold. The Marley's on the other hand having their own company to work with, puts them at an advantage to earn more off album sales," stated urbanislandz in a written response to Splash's queries. "Regarding tour dates, again each artist's earnings vary according to their popularity and demands. Therefore, when artistes like Sean Paul or Sean Kingston would earn an average US$40,000 per tour date, other artists like Bounty and Beenie would be brushing an average US$10,000."
A respected musician and producer who toured with at least one the top five artistes told Splash that the data seemed credible. He spoke on condition of anonymity in order to respect private conversations with artistes.
"Sean Paul is conservative and I remember he even avoided buying a NY apartment calling it unnecessary. It is possible that Bounty Killer amassed that amount because he is also a conservative spender and has other businesses. Regarding Jimmy Cliff, definitely. He has been around from in the heyday of reggae and has been involved in music, songwriting and movies. He did songwriting for big artistes and also got his songs covered by the likes of Bruce Springsteen with Trapped. That would have been a big money earner," he said.
The combined worth at US$90 million is greater than the annual earnings from Jamaica's major exports including bauxite at US$85 million in 2009 (separate from the US$368 million earned from alumina exports) and sugar at US$72 million according to Bank of Jamaica statistics. It signifies the earning potential of the nation's music which has come under threat in recent years from international gay and government lobby groups. Consequently, all the top 10 artistes made the bulk of their income prior to the mid 2000s, but Urban Islandz has not discounted Reggae/Dancehall's future earning potential. They expect newcomers to factor on the list in the medium-term.
"Gyptian is one artiste to look out for as his career is doing exceptionally good and if this momentum takes him into next year and his album Hold Yuh sells well, he could become a strong contender. Mavado also is one to watch, something good should be happening for his career soon…Vybz Kartel is another to watch too, but may need a deal with a major label to put him there. Another reggae fusion artiste to watch is Iyaz from the Virgin Islands who is signed to Sean Kingston's label," Urban Islandz told Splash.

Reggae song bird, Shauna McKenzie better known as Etana has broadened her list of attributes in entertainment. The Reggae Ambassador has secured an acting role in the soon to be released film, "Ghett'a Life". The movie's official premiere is scheduled for Summer 2011. This will debut Etana as an actress and marks her arrival to the film industry. Fans can expect a different side to the performer in her fresh role, acquired through a succesful audition. Etana plays the role of 'Arnette', the mother of a youth troubled with life, frantically trying to get over on the other side.
The film is directed by Chris Browne, best known from the movie, "Third World Cop". Etana is enthused of this new venture and hopes her fans and the general public will share her joy and excitement, when the film hits theatres. The cast boasts notable Jamaican actors including Winston 'Bello' Bell, Chris McFarlane, Carl Davis and Teddy Price. Ghett'a Life has completed its principal photography and currently in post production. In early 2011 screening will commence at international film festivals.
Etana enjoys watching Academy Award winning actress, Angelina Jolie, who is among her favourite Hollywood movie stars. As one would imagine, the songstress has a very busy music schedule clogged with local and overseas shows, coupled with the release of her sophomore album titled, Free Expressions. It's amazing how she maintains focus to continue dominating at the top of the charts with her current #1 single, "Free". The singer now turned actress says, she prioritises and sticks to her schedule to strike a balance for smooth operation. She considers herself ready and welcomes more acting roles in the future.

It would seem that the Reggae/Dancehall music fraternity is being hit by one blow after another. Top deejays have lost their US visas and work permits, and Buju Banton, Ninjaman and Flippa Mafia are off the scene — all facing criminal charges.
The big question now is, how will this impact the dancehall community at large. Already, the top annual reggae show in the United States — Irie Jamboree — has cancelled this year's staging.
It would seem that the Reggae/Dancehall music fraternity is being hit by one blow after another. Top deejays have lost their US visas and work permits, and Buju Banton, Ninjaman and Flippa Mafia are off the scene — all facing criminal charges.
The big question now is, how will this impact the dancehall community at large. Already, the top annual reggae show in the United States — Irie Jamboree — has cancelled this year's staging.
Irie-Jamboree vice-president Louis Grant told the Sunday Observer that visa cancellations, primarily regarding Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Busy Signal, Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Jah Cure and Sizzla, as well as a few other notables, coupled with the incarceration of top tier acts Buju Banton and Ninjaman, were the primary reasons the decision was taken not to host the show, one of North America's premier reggae festivals.
"Not having access to this cluster of acts to factor into our line-up has adversely impacted us this year. At the very least, this situation is progressively becoming dire and needs to be strategically and properly addressed, via fair and prompt intervention, so that fair and prompt resolution can be achieved post haste," Grant said.
For G City Entertainment promoter Casey Rankine, although many of the major acts are out of commission in the United States market, it is "business as usual".
"It has not greatly affected my plans. The major challenge is the economy — weak audience turnout and poor ticket sales," Rankine said.
In fact, according to him, the situation has now created an opportunity for other good artistes.
"There are other artistes who have done work for years, or upcoming talents, and this gives them the opportunity to be highlighted, so we are looking forward to working with them," he said.
New York-based publicist Anthony Turner says the unavailability of the aforementioned artistes is not the greatest challenge for promoters in the US right now.
"Even if those artistes were available, it would not be a given that they could have brought in a full house or that the event would have been a guaranteed success," he said.
Like, Rankine, Turner said one of the biggest challenge facing promoters now is the economic recession.
"There are other factors to take into consideration too, such as finding affordable venues and receiving quality sponsorships," Turner shared, adding that unlike events in Jamaica, US sponsors do not give a lot of cash support, so promoters rely heavily on gate receipts.
But while some US promoters are experiencing challenges as it relates to the staging of reggae events, for Eddy Edwards of Riddim Marketing, it's all about having the right packaging. Edwards, who has hosted plays, church festivals and other family-friendly events, says he walked away from "the whole dancehall mix up".
"I lean to cultural and clean lyrics artistes, so as a result, I am not affected by what's going on right now. If you notice, somehow, those are the ones not in trouble," the promoter said.
He admits that the numbers have been down because of the recession, but says because of the nature of his events he has enjoyed enough support to make them viable — that plus the fact that the artistes with whom he has been working are "very reasonable".
However, Irie Jamboree's Grant is not swayed by the argument for cultural productions.
"Our very pervasive culture is so much a part of generations "X" and "Y"'s pop culture, that these kids, primarily of Jamaican and a wider Caribbean descent, will just not allow that to happen," Grant said.
He admits that growth may be stymied for several reasons, the main culprit being the lyrical content of some of the songs. But, he says recent steps by the Broadcasting Commission has helped to address, in a very profound way, guidelines that give "the stamp of approval to songs" which ultimately get played on the airwaves in Jamaica.
Grant believes that this move has helped to shape, and usher in a revolution of greater creativity in writing and consequently, many of the dancehall acts and music producers have made notable adjustments to their art.
"On a personal level, I am particularly happy for this advent, as the songs that get sent to us on a daily basis are better songs, if only by "air play" standards, which ultimately bodes well for the longevity and sustainability of the industry at large," he said.
According to G-City's Rankine, the solution going forward is for dancehall acts to "always keep it professional in terms of management, performance, public appearances, by keeping their artiste fees at a fair market value, and adjusting their attitude towards promoters, without (whom) they would have no shows, remembering at all times that it's a business."

WATERLOO — Kacee Vasudeva could have packed it in three years ago when his Waterloo auto parts company, Maxtech Manufacturing, was forced into receivership by the global recession and automotive slump.
He had accomplished more than most entrepreneurs in the 32 years Maxtech was in business, making exhaust components, fuel-system parts, brake drums and the like.
At its peak, the company employed 500 people and achieved annual revenues of $100 million.
"We were No. 1 in the world in oxygen-sensor fittings," says Vasudeva proudly.
There's just no quit in this 67-year-old immigrant from India. He was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug years ago and it hasn't let go. "I don't think I will ever fully retire," he says.
This time, the bug that has bitten him has legs instead of wheels. Vasudeva has launched a company to eradicate the scourge of homeowners, travellers and innkeepers alike: bed bugs.
Called the Bug Elimination & Prevention Company, or BeapCo for short, the firm makes a variety of products, including traps, detection kits, coasters that fit under chairs and bed legs and electric power bars that work as bed bug catchers at the same time.
There's even a travel kit, complete with a detection trap, bug spray and a laundry bag to take your bug-infested clothes home in. It dissolves when tossed into the washing machine.
After Maxtech Manufacturing died, Vasudeva was looking for something to stoke his entrepreneurial fires.
He still owned Maxtech Consumer Products, which designs and supplies power tool accessories for hardware stores, such as Canadian Tire and Home Depot, out of a 30,000-square-foot plant on Colby Drive in Waterloo.
But the firm was small — it has about 20 employees — and had been around for years.
The spark for the new venture came from articles he started noticing in the media about the little bug, smaller than a grain of rice, that was re-emerging as a threat.
When one of his managers came home from a holiday complaining about a bed bug infestation, he and several engineers at Maxtech began studying the problem. They visited trade shows and talked to pest-control firms.
They noticed that most pest-control companies used some form of chemical to eliminate the tiny insects.
"We're an engineering company. We don't know much about bed bugs and chemicals. We looked at it from a totally different perspective," he says.
Bed bugs are attracted by the heat of a human body. Vasudeva and his team came up with a trap that mimics that environment by emitting carbon dioxide and heat, luring the bugs onto a patch of sticky glue.
The trap can be placed between the mattress and box spring on a bed or underneath cushions on a chair. Not only does it avoid the use of chemicals, the trap is more durable than products sold by the competition, Vasudeva says.
Another innovation was a coaster that can be placed under a chair leg or bed post.
Other types of coasters would stop the bed bugs, but not prevent them from going back where they came from or indicate the source of the infestation. BeapCo came up with a design using grooved walls that not only trapped the bugs, but showed where they were coming from.
Another challenge was finding a way to hide the traps so hotel guests wouldn't know there might be a bed bug problem. BeapCo first tried table lamps and radios, then settled on the power bar, with a trap underneath.
"We have all the detection tools," says Vasudeva, who also owns an indoor golf dome in Waterloo called Max's Golf Centre.
Products are designed and assembled at BeapCo, but fabrication is outsourced to global and Canadian manufacturers. "We're trying to bring more manufacturing back to Canada," Vasudeva says.
BeapCo's products have been tested and certified by Rutgers University in New Jersey, a North American authority on bed bugs. The company tried to find a university in Canada to certify its bed bug systems, but none exists, Vasudeva says.
Sales were $75,000 in 2012, BeapCo's first year in the market, but Vasudeva figures they'll top $2 million this year. Customers are located as far away as Italy and New Zealand.
"People (in the industry) are literally shaking their heads that some company can make products not using chemicals and as effective as chemicals," Vasudeva says.
He envisions five channels in the market: hardware stores, pest-control companies, the hospitality industry, the travel industry and multi-unit housing.
BeapCo has five employees and is housed in the same building as Maxtech Consumer Products. The company also has plans to sell a fruit-fly trap and is fine-tuning a backyard mosquito catcher that resembles a small rain barrel.
Vasudeva's ultimate goal is to be No. 1 or two in the world at eradicating bed bugs and other such pesky insects.
The company studies the problem, listens to the experts, then marshals its engineering strength "to solve the needs of the customer," he says.
