Grammy Winning Disco Diva Thelma Houston Announces New Side Project with Emerging Producer Janitor

Leave a comment

Debut EP “Fortytwo” to be Released September 17, 2013

Los Angeles, CA, September 17, 2013 – Original songs aren’t a dime a dozen. It may be hard to recreate such a sound from one of American music’s most famous disco diva icons, Thelma Houston. Add into the mix a 28 year old producer named JANITOR who is deeply embedded in the Los Angeles indie rock scene and you have “fortytwo” – the EP concept and the actual age difference between Houston and JANITOR and an innovative new side-project that challenges the limit of an unlikely collaboration that incorporates both contemporary and vintage sounds.

Houston is well-known to the world of Disco, R&B and Motown. One of her most notable singles during that period was “You’ve Been Doing Wrong for So Long” which secured her a Grammy nomination for a Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Houston released her third album Any Way You Like It in 1976. The first single released was her version of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes’ 1975 song “Don’t Leave Me This Way”. In February 1977 the track hit Number 1 in the U.S. on the R&B and Club Play Singles charts and in April 1977 on the Hot 100 Charts. “Don’t Leave Me This Way” won Houston the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the Grammys for 1977.

Most recently she has teamed up with JANITOR, an up-and-coming producer and multi-instrumentalist who has played on hundreds of records as a cellist and bassist for veteran bands. Together they have formed this creative relationship built on respect and friendship.

This project is a testament to how an unlikely pairing can collaborate as they formed this partnership by creating songs that truly speak about their issues. Keeping an open mind, blending genres, styles, and focusing on the emotional context is what “fortytwo,” is about and not necessarily of the mindset if it will sound more like a pop or mainstream or commercially successful music release.

Infusing electronic and R&B and indie pop music, listeners can hear almost every genre in the five-song EP as JANITOR cites his taste in everything from jazz, hip hop to powerpop. Each song is a journey that starts from dark to light – raw, uncensored, thought-provoking lyrics is what JANITOR describes as “Conscious Club” music. They are making music that has a specific idea around it. It’s also the next generation of Thelma’s sound.

“Enemy,” is the first track from the album and first planned single and instantly draws you in with its minimal production and heavy lyrics. Houston’s stellar vocals and repetitive bass are prominent on this track with lyrics such as “Are you living with the enemy? Is the enemy in your head? Can you be good to yourself? Do you forgive yourself? Can you love yourself?”

Soulful, but yet dark, listeners can instantly understand how personal this EP release comes to life. “Enemy” is an ongoing song with the track clocking in just under six minutes which leaves one wanting more and the song closes with an excerpt of JANITOR’s string section. It was the first song they wrote together.

“Colorblind,” the fourth track from the EP, is about race relations and is meant to be an inspirational piece because it touches upon a controversial subject. JANITOR infuses a pop/punk and goth tone that also elevates during the chorus with positive, uplifting lyrics.

JANITOR and Houston are both drawn from each other’s musical and life experiences as they’ve co-written each song on the release.

The “fortytwo” EP will be released September 17, 2013 on most major digital retail stores.

CEO Justin Ligeri Named Fastest Growing Online Retailer with Three Year Growth of 16,689 Per Cent

Leave a comment

Hypergrowth is a term used to describe an economic BOOM. Today that word is also being used to describe Justin Ligeri’s astonishing rise in the online retailing world. In 2010, his fledgling company was broke. Today the three year old company is on track to produce over $20 million in retail sales.

Sebring, FL, September 16, 2013 (Straight Line PR) — When speaking with Justin Ligeri it quickly becomes apparent that he doesn’t have much patience or appreciation for other peoples’ rules. The young eCommerce phenom is famous for reminding his staff that most rules are there to create “normal” conditions. Normal is a four letter word to Justin Ligeri. His perspective is that the only way to create abnormal hypergrowth is to “think outside the box”, creating unconventional results.

The 35 year old eCommerce phenom’s company, Yagoozon, is on track to do in excess of $20 million in sales this year. Starting over with only $40 in the winter of 2010, he has bankrolled that amount into a hypergrowth business that has venture capitalists, suppliers and competitors amazed at his ability to sell merchandise. In fact, over the last three years, Yagoozon has grown 16,689%.

Ligeri called his company Yagoozon ( http://www.amazon.com/b?me=A393ZKPVGVX3TX ) because that word symbolized his online journey. He had started doing pay per click marketing and driving traffic to a website using Yahoo. Then he migrated over to Google. In the winter of 2010 he fell in love with Amazon. Ya-Goo-Zon. Very memorable.

“I believe in Abundance,” says Ligeri. “Although I am not a technologist, I know that technology makes abundance possible. Here in Central Florida we have millions of acres of orange orchards. Imagine all of the low hanging fruit being picked and eaten. The news media comes along and tells you that there is no more supply of fruit. Everybody agrees with the media. I come along with a ladder and discover that there is an amazing abundance of oranges, you just need to climb the ladder to be able to reach them easily. I tell my friends about ladders and the news media comes along and shares with everyone all of the horrible accidents that happen on ladders. This cycle is never ending. When you discover that you are an entrepreneur you trust what you see and what you know, regardless what the masses say. That will also ruffle some feathers. Because in spite of the horrible economy the opportunity to amass huge wealth has never been bigger. New technology creates new opportunities and new rules for amassing wealth,” he explains.

In a short YouTube video, Ligeri speaks briefly about what it’s like to run a company that has grown 16,689% in only three years: http://youtu.be/IjvQYWn7mPQ

He attributes his success to understanding and embracing the power of the web. Today, he is clearly a top contender to be the Entrepreneur of The Year.

“People often ask me to describe what it is like to create a company that has experienced 16,689% growth over three years. My response is to paraphrase Walt Disney and say that ‘doing the impossible is a lot of fun’,” Ligeri quipped.

The 2013 Inc. 500|5000 Conference is scheduled for October 10-12 in Washington, D.C. It is expected that Yagoozon, Inc. will be recognized once again as a rapidly rising star in the eCommerce firmament.

Rasta Imposta Defective Flimsy Halloween Costumes Concern Industry Insiders

Leave a comment

Halloween is big business. 148 million Americans will partake in Halloween festivites this year and are expected to spend in excess of $66 per person on costumes, candies and decorations. Here’s how to enjoy Halloween safely, and without spending a lot of money.

New York, NY, September 13, 2013 – (Straight Line PR) — Every year at Halloween, families gather to carve pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, attend costume parties, play pranks on one another, and go trick or treating. Halloween is big business. This year it is estimated that over $8.3 billion will be spent on Halloween related purchases.

Halloween is America’s second-largest commercial holiday, with Christmas being the first. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), 148 million Americans will take part in some sort of Halloween celebration this year and will, on average, spend in excess of $66 per person on costumes, candies and decorations.

The Halloween industry thrives on the primary driver that every year, children and adults get to be someone else for an evening. Spending on Halloween costumes alone is expected to reach $4 billion this year. Here are some tips to make Halloween purchases special – and safe.

First, it’s a good idea, when purchasing Halloween costumes, to be sure they are made with flame resistant fabrics. Avoid costumes made from flimsy materials, baggy pants, sleeves, large capes or billowing skirts.

Purchase costumes from a reputable costume manufacturer, one which guarantees their merchandise to be free from defects. Industry insiders recommend costumes made by companies such as Forum Novelties ( http://www.forumnovelties.com/ ), Rubies ( http://www.rubies.com/ ), RG Costumes ( http://www.rgcostume.com/ ) and Fun World ( http://www.fun-world.net/halloween.html ).

The key things to check on potentially flimsy costumes will be the seams and stitching of the costume. When the seams separate, the entire costume is at risk. Online purchasers are at a huge disadvantage in this regard as they cannot inspect the garment before making a purchase.

It is important to choose costumes that are light-colored, bright and clearly visible to motorists. Trick or treaters should carry flashlights to see where they are walking, and to ensure that they are seen by others.

To guard against injuries, all costumes should fit well and not drag on the ground. Sturdy footwear is required. High heels are not a good idea. Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be made of soft, flexible material, to prevent injuries.

Industry insiders who sell products on the world’s top e-commerce platforms have had some bad experiences recently trying to refund costumes from Rasta Imposta ( http://www.rastaimposta.com/ ) and California Costumes ( http://www.californiacostumes.com ).

The big online retail platforms collect and measure feedback from customers, rating their satisfaction with their purchses. Both Rasta Imposta and California Costimes have had above normal negative feedback from dissatisfied customers. In many cases, the negative feedback was close to 40% on certain costumes from these two suppliers.

Rasta Imposta is known for creating licensed costumes from The Hangover Movie, Chiquita Banana, Dumb and Dumber and Gumby.

Retailers report popular adult costumes this year include:
* Michael Jackson, following the pop superstar’s death four years ago.
* Vampires, spurred by the young adult Twilight books and HBO’s True Blood series.
* Sexy Queen of Hearts, nurse and burlesque babe outfits.

To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to http://www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC’s Hotline at (800) 638-2772. Consumers can read news releases and recall information at http://www.cpsc.gov , on Twitter @OnSafety or by subscribing to CPSC’s free e-mail newsletters.

Secure your Google Docs with Collavate

Leave a comment

Google Docs is an innovative Google service that lets users manage, edit, share and create documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other file types.

San Jose, CA, September 13, 2013 – Google Docs is an innovative Google service that lets users manage, edit, share and create documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other file types. However, even though Google Docs offers numerous benefits to all users, there are certain security concerns that arise when sharing documents outside the domain or when a sensitive document is mistakenly sent to the wrong user.

In addition to these “external” security issues, companies have also expressed concern that important documents can easily and inadvertently be deleted without notice, an event that has happened before. This is why many companies are still afraid or hesitant to use Google Docs when it comes to confidential documents.

One way to tackle the security issue is to have the Google Apps super admin disable outside sharing settings so that no one outside a certain domain level can access the files. However, the problem with this method is that you will no longer be able to collaborate with users outside the domain (e.g. clients or partners) once you switch off these sharing settings. Even if you were to disable outside sharing, users can still mistakenly or purposefully share documents with the wrong users.

If you are a Google Docs user and share these concerns, here’s some good news: a solution for your problems is finally here and its name is Collavate. Read on to learn more about what this Google Docs tool offers you.

Workflow with Document Ownership Change and Archiving
If you have to write a document and get it approved by your supervisor, all you have to do is define a workflow, edit the Google document and then submit it to your supervisor using the Collavate tool. Once the document is submitted, a unique document identification number is automatically generated as a prefix to the document name, and permission to edit the document is automatically sent to your supervisor via email. At the same time, ownership of the document automatically transfers to your domain’s designated document administrator and you will automatically become a viewer without permission to edit the document.

Your supervisor will have editing privileges, and can either accept or reject the document, or revise it and send it back to you. Once the supervisor has completed his or her review and takes action on the document, the supervisor’s editing privileges will end, and s/he will be able to only view the document. All changes to the document are stored in your domain’s Google Drive, and the document and all changes to the document will be properly archived and protected. If you would like to learn more about this security feature, try out the free version of Collavate.

Collavate’s 5-Tier Security Control System
Collavate’s 5-Tier Security Control System is designed to help organizations control access to documents. Each Collavate document is assigned a security access code number from 1 to 5 with 1 being the highest level of security access and 5 the lowest level.

Users are similarly assigned a security access code number by the domain administrator that designates the user’s level of access. So, for instance, if a user has a security access code of 3, that user may access all documents that have a security code number of 3, 4 or 5, but not documents with security code numbers 1 or 2. If users are not in your collaborative group, they will still be able to view the “S-Level” documents corresponding to their clearance level. However, they will not be provided with the option of downloading the documents.

This security level feature is developed and designed to give both individuals and corporate organizations total control of how documents can be viewed by employees as well as the public. By using this feature, you and your organization will be able to easily protect confidential information on Google drive.

Activating Security Levels and Labeling Documents
To further secure your documents, only administrative users can provide others access to the Admin menu of Collavate. If you have access to the Admin menu, you will be able to activate and customize document security by following these three steps.

* Enable the 5-Tier Security Control System,
* Set the security level or labels for Google Documents.
* Assign users to clearance level

Enabling the 5-Tier Security Control System
To enable the 5-Tier Security Control System on Collavate, all you need do is implement the following three easy steps:

* Click on “Admin,” which is located at the right top corner of your screen.
* Go to the “Collavate Admin” menu, which is at the left side your screen, and click on “Docs Security.”
* When the drop down menu of Enable Document Security Level is visible to you, click on it and proceed to switch on the 5-Tier Security Control System.

For 40th Anniversary “Forty & Fierce” Show Production and Tour

New York, NY, September 11, 2013 – SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK, the venerable and Grammy nominated a cappella ensemble has announced the launch of their first ever fan driven funding endeavor with Indiegogo. The Indiegogo campaign target goal is to raise $35,000. The funds will be used to offset production costs for SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY: FORTY & FIERCE show and tour which will be celebrated from January 2014 – January 2015.

“We did a lot of talking, soul-searching, and brainstorming and ultimately felt that the independent spirit that has fueled all our artistic endeavors and been the driving force to our longevity couldn’t be better served than by partnering with our fans and Indiegogo on this milestone celebration and venture,” stated Sweet Honey’s Carol Maillard.

Sweet Honey’s “FORTY & FIERCE” show will be the group’s most ambitious and adventurous live performance presentation to date. It will be their first scripted show, helmed by noted Director/Choreographer Dianne McIntyre. It will feature several new original compositions, medley’s comprised of some of their most popular songs, special guest musicians and vocalists, and intimate personal stories by each member that will be woven into a retrospective look at their incredible journey over the past four decades.

The group also intends to make it their most technically advanced show as well. It will feature theatrical designed and extensive lighting, a visual fusion of archival film/video and still images, newly created performance costumes, and special staging/set components.

The Indiegogo funds will be dedicated entirely to covering the production costs for the show, which is being independently produced by their company, SHE-ROCKS 5 Productions. The group is currently in the embryonic creative and development process, but will kick-off their anniversary year with performances at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Auditorium, February 12th, the Music Center at Strathmore in Washington, DC., March 1st, and the prestigious “Celebrity Series in Boston” at Symphony Hall on March 2nd. They are also planning a FORTY & FIERCE television special and a commemorative CD comprised of forty of the most popular songs they’ve recorded and released on twenty-three CD’s since their inception.

Sweet Honey fan contributions are tiered on several levels starting from $10.00. The ensemble is offering a wide range of perks to their fans in exchange for contributions including; VIP concert tickets and post-concert Meet & Greets; a wide range of never before released memorabilia; tee-shirts; specially packaged musical downloads; and other promotional items and merchandise.
