TRE-ACE, HIP HOP ARTIST AND E-SHARP, PRODUCER/BEAT CREATOR
Tre-Ace is becoming a force to be reckoned with not only in Atlanta, but nationwide. Combining the hard knocks of the Midwest with the club banging hits of the South, this mellow-toned rapper adds his own swagger to the mix to create a new and unique sound. Tre Ace definitely has a great sound and is climbing his way up the charts with the smooth hit "Sunny Days" and the crunked hit "Walked Out". He's what we like to call a well rounded rapper.
Another one hitting the tops of the charts is E-Sharp. He began working with music when he was in the 8th grade. He was in a group at that time, working on vocals and production. He stopped for a while only to return in his adulthood as a Producer with ambitions of being the best. E-Sharp is located in the RDU area of North Carolina willing to work with the next great or the already established artist. He is also available for website music creations and more. Sitting at #2 on the charts of NeoBoogie.com , E-Sharp keeps spitting out crazed beats that no one can resist. E-Sharp can take any artist and give them the sound they have always wanted.
With featured artists like Tre Ace and producers like E-Sharp, there are endless networking and joint collaboration possibilities on Neoboogie.com . Let's continue to watch our list and see who will be on top next week. NeoBoogie.com is steadily growing and we are looking to feature you soon!

The Beginning: Taste the Same
Wine is inherently a complex drink whether it be the flavors involved or the stigma those who indulge in wine attach to it. Pushing these presuppositions aside, the staff at Tastevine.com is trying to change this by beginning with a few quality and reasonably priced wines for users to rate with their individual and unique palates. Using our 1-of-a-kind, apples to apples rating system, we are able to generate a Taste ID for each user that is used to help people find Taste Budds (people with similar taste profiles). Once matched, your budds' favorite wines become your new recommendations.
The most important thing to making this technology functional is for people to start off trying the same wines so they can be matched to other people. There are 3 ways to accomplish this goal:
By entering into this "experiment" in wine tasting, you will not only be given suggestions for more wines to try but also contribute to the wine experience of others.
DID YOU KNOW?
Women are more inclined to click on text-based mobile ads while men are more likely to be lured by video marketing messages, according to a study of U.K. users from Tickbox, a London-based market research firm.
The survey, which was commissioned by mobile media publisher MoMac, found that text ads are the most effective mobile advertising format, favored by 56% of wireless users. Sixty percent of women preferred text ads, according to the study, while only 47% of men opted for the links.
Picture or banner ads were the second-most popular format, favored by 29% of all users, while nearly one-quarter of males cited video advertising as the favorite method. Only 12% of females preferred video ads. Unsurprisingly, 16- to 24-year-olds preferred video by a nearly two-to-one ration over users older than 55.
Younger users also preferred to view ads in exchange for content, while more than half of users 45 and older opting to buy content a la carte. And 54% of females preferred the pay-per-download mode compared to 41% of men, who were more accepting of mobile ads.
Source: www.rcrnews.comVerizon Now Selling BlackBerry 8830
The BlackBerry 8830 is now available from Verizon. This is the first global CDMA device from BlackBerry. It retails for $399, but is available for either $299 or $199 based on rebates and plans chosen. The device is expected to be available from Sprint sometime in June/July.
The BlackBerry 8830 is the CDMA version of the 8800 which is currently available from GSM carriers Cingular and T-Mobile. Verizon and Sprint will both carry the 8830 starting this summer. Verizon will have it in May and Sprint is planning to have it available in June or July.
The device is a quad band device so it will be able to work overseas, making it BlackBerry's first CDMA device that will work internationally. It will also have a media player, a MicroSD slot, Bluetooth, full QWERTY keyboard, and built-in GPS.
Although Sprint will be the last carrier to launch the device, it will be worth the wait to hold off getting it from the other carriers. The reason is the phone will be unlocked from Sprint, while it is locked with other carriers. When traveling internationally with a Cingular 8800 or a Verizon 8830, you will be required to use the carrier's SIM card, meaning you will incur international roaming rates. Sprint gives you the option to use the SIM card of a local in country carrier, meaning you will be charged local per minute rates versus international roaming rates. This represents substantial cost savings for the international traveler. One caveat is that if you wish to keep the same number internationally, you will need to use the Sprint SIM card, incurring Sprint international roaming rates.
One cool feature about the MicroSD slot is it is located inside the battery cover. This makes it impossible to accidentally pop out and difficult to be stolen. The bad to this, is it won't be easily accessible, but security is key here.
Still missing from the 8830 is a camera/video recorder. Again, security is the reason for this.
"The Capacity to Bridge Partisan Divisions"
By Alex MacCallum - Jul 5th, 2007 at 4:02 pm EDT
Barack, Michelle, and their daughters criss-crossed Iowa yesterday, going to an AAA Cubs game and meeting with small groups of supporters.
During one stop, Barack came within a few blocks of Sen. Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas. He and Barack are far apart ideologically on almost all issues. But Barack has crossed party lines to work with Sen. Brownback on bringing an end to the genocide in Darfur.
When Sen. Brownback heard of Barack's presence nearby, he called him " a friend and someone I've worked well with."
In an interview yesterday with the AP , Barack talked about his ability to bridge partisan divisions:
"What I know is the kind of experience I have outside of Washington as a community organizer working with families that are struggling, as a constitutional law professor, as a state legislator dealing with the very issues that affect people, people find that experience at least as relevant, maybe more relevant, than experience in Washington. I would not be in this race if I didn't think I had the capacity to bridge divisions along partisan lines, racial lines, religious lines, that was unequaled in the field. "
Barack and Michelle also stopped at the Smokey Row Coffeehouse , where supporters pressed their faces to the glass to get an eye-full of the couple. Michelle spoke to those who snagged spots inside about being a citizen and a mother:
"I'm a mother, a wife and a professional, but I'm a citizen of this country, too. When I think about sacrifices, I think about children. I want to be in a world where people feel good about this country, where people feel good to be a part of this society. "
And Barack made sure to shake everyone's hand outside afterwards.
The Lion King and True Love Article on Bloggers
All this weekend I have been excited about two things. Let me talk about the first as I beg your indulgence for a few moments of vanity. OH MY GAWWWDDD I AM IN TRUE LOVE WEST AFRICA!!!! Ha ha ha!! Ok calm down Addy...calm down. So I and a few bloggers including Bella, Taurean minx, Bimby Lads and Aramide had the opportunity to be interviewed for the article. Honestly I wished more of 'us' could have been in it but y'all know there can't be enough space to contain all the GREAT NIGERIAN BLOGGERS we read every day. Before I continue, I have to give kudos to Bella. Only a special person can be offered the opportunity to have her picture splashed on the most popular magazine in West Africa and yet decline. WOW!! That's deep! People that humble are rare to find these days and unfortunately RIGHT NOW, I AM DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THEM. Especially as I was expecting this article to be one of those one page small passport-photo size picture type articles as I didn't think 'we were that important'. But Dude we got like 5 pages and I got 1 and a half. And the pictures were hot. As in 'EHEN NOW WE ARE TALKING'....not like the funny flying arm, eyes half close looking drunk pictures that the 'Street Style Tabloids' post. So embarrassing those ones are, in fact I cringe at the sight. BUT THIS ONE!! Ah.. this one is one in town. I look like I could sell white as black because I look like such a saint (I plead the 5th at this point). Anyways I have been singing and dancing TuFace Idibia's 'True Love' all weekend and irritating my siblings and friends. Gosh I think True Love made a mistake because I will be driving people crazy with this one. Yeah yeah it is not an achievement but me I have been dreaming of being in a magazine for the longest time... as SUPER MODEL(rotf-lmao). I think I can live with this one in a frame on my wall for the rest of my life. Slowly and surely I will get into Time and O! magazine one day and if I become anybody of world importance (like the person who brings world peace) perhaps I'll make the cover (hmh..did i just curse myself, because world peace seems quite elusive). Until then, being the bush girl that I can be I am milking it like a 5 year old in a nursery school play.
Which brings me to the second topic of importance. The Lion King was in Nigeria (ha ha... I hope you didn't miss that transition....go back and read the previous 3 lines.. I am just a G!!). Oh yeah back to what I was saying. Yes the Lion King came to the Muson Center in Lagos and guess what... I AM IN LOVE WITH SIMBA!!! Isn't he just too hot?
Kingsley Ogboso (Next Movie Star 2005) and the gorgeous kids at Standard Bearers Academy and their teachers performed the Lion King all of last week. Can I say that that's like the cutest thing I have seen since I came to Nigeria. Aside from the baby Donkey somewhere in Oniru Estate and Hero's 5 puppies and Hero playing soccer. Hero is the yard 'Mongrel' at STV (need to differentiate from the street mongrels that hang around outside the station) Anyways, the play was such a delight to watch. I was laughing hard and singing along as well, considering that I used to perform the Lion King to entertain my nieces in New York way back when I used to my house girl-aspiring-to-be-a-Broadway-star runs. Seriously I knew every word to the lyrics and even the movie. I am kinda rusty now but the play brought it all back. And y'all can never guess who was playing Timon. Fellow blogger Don Chichi himself. Great Job dude!! Great job to the entire school for putting this on. It was fabulous. It was no Broadway, but it was absolutely refreshing and honestly you can never go wrong with a production of Lion King especially if you have kids in it. Screams of total cuteness. I was actually feeling a little jealous of the mommies and daddies who were waving back to their kids on stage. There was this absolutely adorable little girl who was just too tickled about being a flower. Arghh!!! I couldn't resist waving back when she waved to her parents. Ok I sense my maternal instincts creeping up and I have adjusted my 'list of kids' to two now. We'll see how long that will last. Anyways I am looking forward to seeing another play in town soon, may be even auditioning for one. I gotta put my theater degree to good use now, just waiting for the 'aha' moment. Ya'll keep your ears close to the ground for auditions. I was actually discussing with a friend and wondering, wouldn't it be nice to see a Nigerian Adaptation of Grease? What other plays would you like to see performed? I absolutely love the Nigeria Classics like Ola Rotimi's ' The God's are Not to Blame', Zulu Sofola's 'Wedlock of the Gods' and all those Wole Soyinka and his contemporaries' plays that used to show at the Unilag Auditorium way back when the AIR CONDITIONER USED TO WORK!!!! LOL!!
Below are the pictures. They are not so clear but I am working on getting clearer ones. Y'all expect the True Love article on BellaNaija.com SOOOOON!!! I don't have a scanner and I am not about to buy 10 copies of the magazine to give all my friends who want to see it.
