Jamaican Comedy


Some may say that the life of a typical Jamaican is comedy. I am not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing.... Nonetheless, we are a set of people who have mastered the art of applying humour to our daily lives.We laugh even when there is nothing to laugh about just so that everything is 'Irie' because 'JAMAICA, NO PROBLEM MON!!' There are some people who make comedy their way of life and they have helped to build and what is known as the Jamaican Comedy. It is unlike any other......
Some of Jamaica's BEST include:

ITY & FANCY CAT


GLEN 'TITUS' CAMPBELL


OLIVER SAMUELS


APACHE CHIEF & SARGE


ANDREA 'DELCITA' WRIGHT


This is just to name a few as there are MANY others who have contributed to putting Jamaica on the map of Comedy as Jamaican Comedy is now in very high demand worldwide.......

SO LET'S CONTINUE TO LAUGH OUR PAIN AWAY......



Tax PLUS!!!!

The nation is being murdered from all ends with debris from the leaders who continue to launch their wordly missiles. The new dilemma is the increase in taxes on various items (INCLUDING PATTY). How will persons deemed to be in a part of the lowest economical class without a job and more than 5 children survive?
This question becomes harder to answer as the tax continue to increase government after government after government..... smh

Stylysh Hits Collab With Vybz Kartel


Red hot rookie Stylysh ha voiced on track with incarcerated deejay Vybz Kartel on rhythm produced by Calvin 'Moonie' Haye. ( The edited version of the song is called Are You Ready to love Me Right Now?).


Sheba And Former Gaza Members React To The Break Up Of The Portmore Empire


With news forthcoming that the 'World Boss' has disbanded the Portmore Empire, artiste Sheba says she is in shock since she was not informed about the decision.

"I was not personally informed about this. Mi just wake up and see a broadcast message about it and a wonder if a true, but since THE STAR a call me, it look like a true, den," Sheba said.
Sheba went on to say that she had not heard Kartel's side of the story, so she was not in a position to speak about the group being disbanded.
"Him nuh send no message wid him lawyer fi say nutten bout it, but a still music, me say. I want to thank him for a great run - it's been three years. To be honest, this news kinda shock me - is a sudden surprise. it's not something that was discussed with me," she said.
Sheba, whose given name is Tasheba Campbell, says she joined the Portmore Empire in 2009.
"Mi go up a di studio one day and tell him say me can deejay and him say, "mek mi hear a song den", and mi deejay fi him, and him say him like it, and that was it," Sheba told THE STAR.
She is most famous for her collabs with Kartel, including You and Him Deh, Like Christmas, and Do Me Dat (A Whe Me Do You).
Former 'Gaza' artistes sound off
The STAR also spoke with a few of the original members to hear their views on the disbanding of the Portmore Empire.
"I was there from the beginning, and I got the chance to learn a lot of things while in the Portmore Empire that could help me out with my career today. From they remanded him, some of the others should have been trying to work on their craft so even if he doesn't come back very soon, they can still manage on their own. "Empire taught me to fight fi what yuh believe in and him is a man weh him like fi see yuh a do things. So as a female, yuh haffi think like a man but act like a woman," said Lisa Hyper.
Another artiste, Dosa Medicine, said, "I understand what Vybz Kartel is saying. he is away and can't really push their careers the way he could have if he was out. Vybz Kartel is a man like this ... when it becomes too much for him, he will just let it go. I figure more or less that is what is happening. But still, to be one of the original members, it's good to know that the whole world was saying gaza, something I help to build."

Statement from Busy Signal


In this a time of reflection, I would like to thank my fans who have supported me through this difficult situation and who will continue to support me. Your messages and prayers via social networks and via members of my team are what have brought light to the darkness of my cell.

I have never admitted that I was involved in any drug deal or drug arrangement. I waived my rights to an extradition trial here in Jamaica, so that I can return to the US to face a charge of absconding bail ONLY. This incident took place ten (10) years ago before I even considered becoming an artiste.
As you can understand, this is a difficult time for me, however during my time away, my fans will not be left with a void - there are several unreleased tracks that will definitely keep you "busy" until my return. I recently released my album Reggae Music Again, which debuted at number 5 on the Billboard Reggae charts. On my recent tour of Amsterdam and Paris, we shot elements for the video to the title track of the album. It features cameos from Marcia Griffiths, Queen Ifrica and Anthony B and that will be released in a couple of weeks.

For my fans overseas, my management team has been in dialogue with promoters who have all shown their support for me and my situation and for that I thank them.

For my family, you have stood by me through thick and thin and I know you will continue to do so. In my time away, I have made the necessary arrangements with my management team to have you taken care of until my return.

To my band. Hi-Voltage, you have toured the world with me and have been a tower of strength. Continue to make good music until I return, cause the mission will continue.

I know that my facebook page has been inactive for a while, but, starting this week, Shane Brown, head of Juke Boxx management team, will assume direct control of my twitter account - @busysignal_turf and my facebook page - www.facebook.com/OneBusySignal. I will be kept updated so please continue to send your love, support and prayers through these channels, as they keep me going.

To my legal team, KD Knight, Bert Samuels and Roxanne Mars, your positive words and unfailing belief and support in me and my case have made this situation a little easier to bear. Thank you very much.

Finally my friends, my fans and my family, thank you again from the depths of my heart. Please keep me in your prayers. "We not going down, cause God alone controls my destiny"

Usain Bolt gets his own Hublot Watch


The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, now has a Swiss watch made in honour of him, which also features his image. The watch is aptly named King Power Usain Bolt.

In addition to the watch's many references to the sprinter, it features an interesting hallmark: the strap is made from exactly the same leather as the shoes he wore when he broke world records in Beijing in 2008.

Hublot, for whom he is an ambassador, has developed this special model in close consultation with Bolt to mark this monumental year in sport.

The watch is a fusion of symbols which represent everything about Bolt starting with his pose - his unique signature - stylised and immediately recognisable in an anthracite grey transfer on a black background. A 12-hour chronograph counter sits at 6 o'clock, and is decorated with a touch of green in a nod to the colours on the Jamaican flag.

Bolt, who turns 25 this year, recently opened his season in style by completing his first individual 100 metres in a quick 9.82 seconds at the National Stadium in Kingston, as he prepares to defend three titles in London this summer: the 100, 200 and 4x100 metres.

"That evil that found my son on 5/23/12...just hanging out on the Gaza on a holiday watching a football match, he laughed too hard at someone falling from a bicycle and he and his friend was stabbed by a very wanted young man...his last words as he ran to a friend of mine was "Yow oonu help me noh, oonu no see me no do di yute nutten and di yute look like him waan kill me dawg"..he died on his way to the hospital...so here I am, crying, wondering, questioning, crying, laying, sitting, stooping, crying, crouching, asking, crying, feels like dying..oh Lord, why me? ..seeking answers as to why a 17 year old who just told me Thursday "Diane the Cape dem easy, me nah lie, wey we say, UWI?" and me answering "UWI we say straight"..since he was 7 years old he told me he was going to UWI and in an instance, that dream was taken from him...I love you Shayheim Kasheef Earlando Marsh, I miss you, you were my star, you were my heart, you were my life..I spent a lot of money on you because I saw your potential my son," the grieving mother wrote.

Amelia 'Milk' Sewell - Three Cheese Lasagna


EFFERVESCENT, down-to-earth, zany and most definitely 'The Girl Boss' are just some of the words Amelia 'Milk' Sewell used to describe herself.
She believes in living her life the way she wants to be treated. Her favourite channel on television, the Food Network, explains Amelia's love for cooking as she enjoys playing with different seasonings to create new flavours as a way to add a twist to traditional dishes.
Amelia's Three Cheese Lasagna with Italian Sausage and Plantains is definitely something to make for dinner on a special occasion. And what better time than Mother's Day.




TEENage: What does Mother's Day mean to you?
 
Amelia: Every day is a Mother's Day for me. I really cherish the relationship that I have with my grandmother, who raised me and I cherish the relationship that I have with my own mother. Mothers should be celebrated every day not just one day. Mothers are the backbone of our society and the world.


Message to her grandmother, Gladys Baracatt:
Thank you for the hard work you have done throughout these years. I know that I have given you a lot of trouble but I turned out GREAT and it's all because of you. I LOVE YOU.



Ingredients
1 1/2 lb meat (grounded)
1 lb turkey sausage (smoked)
1 lb sharp cheddar
1 lb mozzarella
8 oz ricotta
1 pack lasagna pasta
1 tin Delmonte Spaghetti sauce
2 ripe plantains
1 head Garlic (chopped)
1 Onion
2 oz escallion
8 fl oz vegetable oil
1 tbsp dried basil
2 oz brown sugar
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Method

1. In a medium size pot add 1/2 gallon of water, salt and four fluid ounces of oil. Bring water to a boil and cook pasta for about eight to 10 minutes, drain, refresh, oil, and set aside.

2. Season mince with salt and pepper. In a sauté pan over medium heat, add onions, garlic and escallion, sauté for two to three minutes, and then add the mince. Cook for 20 minutes.

3. After the mince has been cooked for 20 minutes add the turkey sausage, salt, pepper, basil and sugar. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 350º F (180ºC).

5. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of meat sauce in a disposable pan. Layer the ingredients beginning with a layer of pasta, arrange the pasta so that there is an overlap of about one inch . Spread a layer of cheese followed by a layer of meat sauce then plantain. Continue layering the ingredients in this manner, reserving a portion of cheese. Finish with a layer of pasta.

6. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on the top of the lasagna. Place the lasagna in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The top should be a light golden brown when done.

7. Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it stand for 30 to 45 minutes before cutting into portions and serving on heated plates.

Tips

* When finishing the top of the lasagna, make sure that all the pasta is covered with cheese as any exposed are will become dry, crisp and burnt.

* Using turkey sausage in this dish alters the flavour profile by adding both a sweet and a smokey flavour to the end product.



Kartel disbands Portmore Empire

Incarcerated deejay Vybz Kartel has officially disbanded the Portmore Empire. A statement was released on one876entertainment.com by Adidjahiem Records and includes the following statement from Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer:
Dancehall fans worldwide, it with great regret that I, Adidja Palmer have decided to disband the Portmore Empire. These artistes have been under the Adidjahiem leadership for years, where they have honed their craft and made their mark, and as such, are well on their way to becoming major forces in Dancehall. They have reached a level where they are more capable to take on their careers by themselves, and it would be unfair to them, based on the limited resources of Adidjahiem Records, and current legal woes of the Adidjahiem C.E.O. and team members.
 
I wish them the best and I am confident that they will live up to my expectations. In the future, Adidjahiem will continue to bring out new acts and groom them for stardom.
 
Thank You

Busy Signal In Police Custody Facing Extradition To The United States

Busy Signal Arrested on Extradition Warrant in Jamaica!! Law enforcement agents have arrested another high profile figure from the West Kingston community, on an extradition warrant. Popular dancehall artiste, Busy Signal, whose real name in Reanno Glendale Gordon, was picked up at the Norman Manley International Airport, immediately after he stepped off a flight from the United Kingdom this afternoon. The Gleaner/Power 106 News understands that the entertainer was returning from a tour in Amsterdam. His arrest came months after The Gleaner broke the story that a prominent entertainer was under the radar of the United States to be extradited. ‘Busy’ is said to be linked to the operations of extradited West Kingston crimelord Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke. Coke is now awaiting sentencing in the United States on racketeering charges. His sentencing hearing is to begin tomorrow. According one of the law enforcement officers who spoke with The Gleaner, 'Busy' has been under investigation since 2002.


KISSING


Kissing plays a crucial role in starting, building and maintaining a meaningful relationship. Believe it or not……

A woman can know a whole list of things about a man, other than if he has bad breath or not, just by kissing him. She can know his sensualities, the way he makes love, how considerate he is about her feelings (does he want her to have fun as much as he wants to), can he take control, just to name a few….



Here are a few ways to effectively kiss a woman to ensure she is captivated:
1) Don't kiss as a precursor (something that comes before) to sex. Give that passionate "I want you right here and now" kiss and walk away leaving her breathless.

2) Kiss her with her back and your hands braced against the wall. Only the lips touching.

3) A soft moan while kissing or whispering something sexy such as, "I want you", just as you are about to kiss her send chills along her spine.

4) Kiss her, pull back, stare into her eyes then gently run your tongue along her lips or nibble on her lower lip before going in for another kiss.


5) Come from behind with hands on her hips or around her waist. Kiss her slowly from neck to ear then turn her around to face you and intensify the kiss.

6)  Hold or stroke the side(s) of her face while kissing her. This simple action will drive her crazy.

7) She will feel how passionate you are about her when you stroke her hair while kissing softly, then pull her closer by the nape (back) of the neck and kiss her deeper.

Once a woman enjoys kissing you it’s a BIG step towards a sexual relationship, provided that you are GENUINE.

Vybz Kartel Ft Tommy Lee – Informer [Exclusive Preview] MAY 2012


Reasons Women Stay with Cheaters!

We see it again and again, a man strays, lies, and cheats on his wife or girlfriend and she decides to give him another chance at fidelity. Yet, in relationships where the woman cheats, the relationship often ends in divorce. Why the difference?
 

CHILD ABUSE



Impacts of Child Abuse

Child Abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional mistreatment or neglect of a child or children. This is a burning and prolonging issue not only in Jamaica but worldwide and it needs to be dealt with ASAP. No child possesses the mental mechanism to deal with such an experience and therefore will have to deal with the consequences of living with the pain.

SEXUAL ABUSE
When children are molested they learn that adults cannot be depended on for care and protection meaning that there is a lack of support and protection. This leads to grief, depression, extreme dependency, inability to judge trustworthiness in others, mistrust, anger and hostility. Also the children’s bodies react with actions of shame and guilt.



PHYSICAL ABUSE
A single incident of physical abuse can result in severe trauma but the more the physical abuse occurs the greater the impact on the child. The younger the child was of the physical abuse, the greater the imprint the greater the impact. When the child has a very close relationship with the abuser, the feeling of betrayal are much greater because the very person who is supposed to protecting is instead inflicting pain.



EMOTIONAL ABUSE
The effects are directly connected to the relationship between the victim and abuser so the closer the relationship, the more devastating the effects on the child. As the intensity, frequency and duration of abuse increases, so does the effect on the psychological make-up of the child. 

Despite the type of abuse, behaviour and mentalilty will change and this can have an influence on the future of the individual. Abuse can affect the individual’s relationship and interaction with others.

Accepting the problem and trying to live with it will be hard but that is the only way to move on and live a happy and normal life.

INSECURITY = NO RELATIONSHIP

A friend introduced me to her newly found boyfriend some months ago as the love of her life and her heartbeat etc… As time passed she complained to me about her feelings for him and she wasn’t sure if he was the one. After that, she would be all in love again and finding it hard to go through a day without seeing him. She asked me what I thought and I told her that she was CONFUSED.


 Now the latest is she sending me a BBM to ask me when last have I spoken to her boyfriend which honestly, it has been awhile when all 3 of us met up somewhere. Her next question was if I knew where he was. “How would I know where YOUR man is?” I asked her. Her response which got me thinking was, ‘it seems like you 2 talk when am not around so I thought you would be the next best person to ask’


 Now seriously?? Is she implying that I am with her man? This coming from a girl who searches her man’s phone when he is sleeping, listen all his phone conversations and made it known very clearly that she hates his female friends, unless they are also her friends. This girl is downright INSECURE!!! 


 Listen ladies, insecurity is not attractive, not cute and definitely not protective. Being insecure is annoying and will lead to the failure of your relationship. Your man needs space, it’s called his PERSONAL SPACE. He should not have to ask for it. If he does, it’s because he is starting to feel crowded.


Men need to be left alone at times because they have their moods too….just like women. They may not be experiencing menstruation but they get moody at times. TOO MUCH OF ONE THING ISN’T GOOD!!! 


Another point, ladies if you think another woman is with your man you need to approach and question your man FIRST!! 


Solution to this unnecessary problem:
ADMIT YOUR FLAW AND BE A BETTER GIRLFRIEND!! IT HELPS TO ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE INSECURE!!!
