Salgado riddle comes to an endNovember 17, 2014 at 8:23 pm | Posted in Vancouver Whitecaps, Whitecaps season 2014 | 1 Comment
Tags: Omar Salgado, Vancouver Whitecaps
The story of Omar Salgado's time with the Vancouver Whitecaps is shrouded in mystery and has me scratching my head. What promised to be a great beginning to a great career fizzled out in a way that was unsatisfactory to everyone involved.
Salgado was the first draft pick the Vancouver Whitecaps made upon entering Major League Soccer. He was young at the time, just 17 years of age, and ineligible to actually play professional football. His physical attributes were very promising: he was very tall and lean, looking for all the world like a young Ruud Van Nistelroy.
In his first interviews Salgado seemed shy and awkward, unable to suppress his teenaged giggles. During their first MLS season the Whitecaps mounted a legal challenge to declare him eligible to play, which they eventually won. Salgado scored his first MLS goal against Columbus in Columbus that year. It was a fine header which showed so much promise of future goals. It turned out to be his last goal for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Salgado's efforts in Vancouver were demolished by some terrible foot injuries, the first of which occurred when he went away to play with the US Men's under 23 side. His last good game for the Whitecaps came in a home match against the Seattle Sounders in 2012. He tore up the Sounders defence although he failed to score. He was injured in that match and that is all we would see of him until the end of the season when he came back unfit and unimpressive in a few late season matches.
Another injury to his foot in 2013 killed that season off and he missed almost the entire season. Salgado attended training camp for the 2014 season and looked to be fit and ready to go. During one pre-season match, however, he started but was subbed off and stormed off the pitch, refusing to shake new coach Carl Robinson's hand as he left the pitch. It was a direct affront to a new coach who needed to establish he was in charge.
Salgado was immediately on the outs with Robinson. It was a side of Salgado we fans did not know existed. He repeated the feat early in the 2014 season during MLS play, coming off the pitch and refusing to shake the hands of any of the coaching staff. Frankly, it was incredible to see him take the same mistake twice. By this time the fans had begun to love their new coach and it felt like an insult to us too. After being in the Whitecaps squad for three years and having scored only one goal it just boggled the mind and left a very bad taste in the mouth. It just looked like he was biting the hand that fed him.
This year's squad seemed to be a very happy one, with one glaring exception. There were also tales of Salgado having training pitch bust-ups with teammates.
The Whitecaps made one last attempt to get money for Salgado by shipping him off to Tigres in Mexico for a trial, but nothng came of it. Last week the Whitecaps announced he had been released, and Salgado left a conciliatory message to Whitecaps fans on Twitter. As happened before he did the right thing after making the mistakes he made, but the point of it all is not to make the same mistake twice.
The whole Salgado experience was one of bad luck and bad judgement; the injuries were bad luck, but the outbursts against coaching staff and teammates were just bad judgement. So little came out of so much potential.
It is not clear where Salgado will end up, but I imagine he will be taken by another MLS team in one of the many player dispersal drafts the MLS conducts. Salgado, now a man rather than the boy who first came here, will have to act like a man if he wants to succeed in football. In spite of it all, I hope he does eventually unravel the riddle and succeed in the game.
Lazy MLS refereeing sinks the Vancouver Whitecaps ship yet againOctober 30, 2014 at 6:19 pm | Posted in Vancouver Whitecaps, Whitecaps season 2014 | 1 Comment

There is something about Major League Soccer referees which makes them think it is fine to make crazy discretionary calls against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Perhaps it is because we are a Canadian club. Perhaps it is because we are a smaller city. Perhaps it is because we are relatively new to MLS.
Back in mid-September the Whitecaps were in Dallas for a regular season match. Down 2-1 in injury time the Whitecaps had the ball headed straight towards the Dallas goal with pace on it. One of Dallas' defenders had his arm raised in the air, not by his side; the ball struck his arm and was deflected away from its path to the goal. The ref adjudged the hand ball to be accidental and did not call a penalty kick in the Whitecaps favour.
During last night's playoff match against Dallas, the home side had the ball going across the box, not towards goal, which took a deflection and hit Kendall Waston's hand, which was not outstretched, but by his side. Waston knew nothing about it when the ball hit his hand, and clearly did not intend to handle the ball. There was no imminent scoring opportunity taken away from Dallas. It was called a penalty kick and the match was effectively handed on a silver platter to Dallas.
Is there any wonder MLS teams and players are regularly complaining about crazy calls and inconsistent officiating by MLS officials? Remember those two penalty calls against Jay DeMerit for challenging for the ball in the 18 yard box earlier in the season?
My own view is that referee Mark Geiger saw lots of work ahead of him in extra time and penalty kicks last night and decided he would rather have an early night. He took the lazy way out. He later claimed he thought Waston had handled the ball intentionally. All of the video and the circumstances of the play demonstrate exactly the opposite. Another bad call by an MLS referee against the Whitecaps.
Would this call have been made if it was a Seattle Sounders or a Los Angeles Galaxy defender? My guess is no. This is the kind of call a team Like little Atalanta receives when they are playing powerhouses Juventus or AC Milan in the corrupt Italian league. The refs would never dare to make such a call agains the big clubs.
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and it demonstrates that officiating is still one of the biggest problems with the credibility of MLS in world football.
The Vancouver Whitecaps must find a way to impress upon the League and its officials that we are not cannon fodder for other teams, but a serious football club that cannot be treated in this way.

What a special night! This was one of the most anticipated matches in the Vancouver Whitecaps MLS era. It was the first match back at BC Place after the Whitecaps sealed both the Cascadia Cup and qualification for the CONCACAF Champion's league. There was an air of celebration and a palpable confidence that we could qualify for the playoffs as well. Playoff frenzy and retail frenzy went hand in hand as the Whitecaps put their merchandise up for 50% off for the night.
It was one of those nights that was going to be a heaven or a hell. If the Portland Timbers won and we lost or tied, we would be out of the playoffs. As I walked along the concourse of BC Place I caught sight of Darlington Nagbe scoring to put Timbers up 1-0 in Dallas. Then, as we were waiting for kick off, news came through that Urruti had made it 2-0 Timbers in the 80th minute. It became clear we would have to beat the Colorado Rapids in order to make the MLS playoffs.
Carl Robinson started the match with Darren Mattocks up front, Morales, Rosales and Fernandez in attacking midfield, Teibert and Laba in defensive midfield, Harvey, O'Brien, Waston and Beitashour on the back line and the ever-present Ousted in Goal. Beitashour was soon injured and had to come off for youngster Adekugbe, who filled in perfectly after switching sides with Harvey.
The Colorado Rapids were eliminated from playoff contention long ago, but did their best to play spoilers. If not for some excellent goalkeeping by David Ousted, they might just have succeeded.
The pattern for this match was set early, as Colorado hunkered down and defended in numbers, while the Whitecaps buzzed around the park dominating possession. The tension in the crowd matched that on the pitch. The Whitecaps looked nervous and had trouble stringing passes together as Colorado broke up play after play.
Carl Robinson's decision to start Darren Mattocks rather than Erik Hurtado up top proved to be the only questionable choice he made on the night. Mattocks had one of his feet-of-stone games, where the ball just bounced off of his foot whenever it came to the striker. His running was poorly timed and his one chance to score off of a Morales cross resulted in a poor deflected header that went wide. After this performance, will we see him play in a Whitecaps shirt next year?
As time passed by in the first half the consensus in the stands was that the Whitecaps had to score before half-time to take some pressure off of the team. It did not happen, however.
The first half did not look particularly good for the Whitecaps: they were nervous as a unit, Pedro Morales looked like he was nursing an injury, and Mauro Rosales was a bit slow and getting pushed and fouled off of the ball all too easily.
Seba Fernadez broke through midway through the half and was all alone on the keeper for the Whitecaps best chance, but ran out of room to take a quality shot. His weak effort was easily smothered by Clint Irwin in Colorado's goal. The half ended scoreless and the tension in the stands grew. It was made all the more tense as just before halftime Colorado's striker forced Ousted to make a difficult diving save to his right.
The second half began with the same personnel, but Carl Robinson did not wait too long before he rolled the dice. Ten minutes in to the second half he took out defensive midfielder Teibert and put another attacking player, Kekuta Manneh, into the fray. The move left Mathias Laba on his own protecting the back four, but greatly increased the pressure on Colorado's defence almost immediately. Manneh did some spectacular runs down the left side of the pitch, cutting inside and striking the crossbar on one such run. All of the sudden it looked like Colorado could be broken.
In the 67th minute a sigh of relief could be heard as Mattocks, who was no threat to Colorado on this night, was replaced by the more effective Hurtado. Three minutes later the Whitecaps scored.
Kekutah Manneh won a corner kick in the 68th minute and the crowd leapt to its feet, willing the Whitecaps to score. As he had on all set pieces and corner kicks, Kendall Waston stepped up into Colorado's 18 yard box. Morales hit the ball on the corner kick as only he can; the ball curled to the near post and dipped viciously. Hurtado jumped but the ball was just too high for him to head it. seemingly out of nowhere, Waston launched his body across two Colorado defenders with the top of his head heading straight at goal. He made contact with the ball, deflecting it low and past Irwin. BC Place erupted with the loudest sound since Peter Beardley score the first Whitecaps goal back in 1983. It was pandemonium, and the celebration lasted for a good five minutes.
Hurtado got through on goal a few minutes later to try to make it 2-0 but an onrushing defender made him snatch at his shot which went straight at keeper Irwin.
While Waston was always going to be the hero on this night, spare a thought for our Keeper Ousted who made two very difficult saves in the last minutes of the match to keep us in the playoffs. Not only did he make two great saves, he controlled the ball so no rebound was coughed up. It was superb goalkeeping from a man who has grown in stature the most this season.
When the final whistle went a party began the likes of which we have not seen in four years of MLS. Players stayed on the pitch celebrating, and fans stayed in the stands to join them.
Prior to the match Jay DeMerit took his retirement bow and gave a great speech about his time with the Whitecaps. After the match he celebrated in the Southside holding the Cascadia Cup in his hands.
The last time we made the playoffs in 2012 we got there because other teams were so terrible they were more terrible than us. This time we did it on merit: the Whitecaps got into the playoffs because they are a good football team.
The win set up a one match shootout in Dallas with Dallas FC this coming Wednesday. If the Whitecaps win that one, a home and away series with the Seattle Sounders awaits. The prospect is mouth watering; lets hope it happens.

Tags: MLS playoffs, Portland Timbers, Vancouver Whitecaps
This Saturday night's regular season finale at BC Place against the Colorado Rapids promises to be a special one. If the Vancouver Whitecaps win the match, fans are guaranteed to be celebrating an auspicious triple crown which includes the Cascadia Cup, CONCACAF Champion's League qualification, and a place in the Major League Soccer playoffs. The first two have been achieved, but the last is still at stake.
At 5:30PM our playoff rivals the Portland Timbers will be playing Dallas FC away from home. If the Timbers lose that game, they are out of the MLS playoff and we will be able to party during our game, which begins at 7PM at BC Place. If the Timbers win or tie, we must win the match verses Colorado, because tie-breakers go against us. Whatever happens it will be a night of drama to remember.
It is advantage Whitecaps because Dallas FC will be highly motivated to beat the Timbers in order to leap over Real Salt Lake into third in the standings. If Dallas win they will avoid the one match shootout the fourth placed team must play against the fifth placed team to determine who will proceed in the in the Western Conference play-offs. Furthermore, Portland will be playing its third game in 9 days because of its mid-week trip to Honduras to play a match in the CONCACAF Champions League. The Timber's weary squad will have to face a well-rested Dallas FC which is traditionally fierce at home.
The night will also feature Jay DeMerit's retirement celebration. Prior to the match we fans will get to celebrate the wonderful leadership he brought to our team during its MLS infancy .
All in all it is shaping up to be the biggest celebration for the Vancouver Whitecap's fans since match day one back in March of 2011 when we beat Toronto FC 4-2 in our very first MLS match.

CHICAGO — The Obama administration will promote health insurance coverage at shopping malls starting on today and continuing through the busiest shopping days of the holiday season, officials announced Wednesday. They said more than 462,000 people selected a private insurance plan in the first week of 2015 enrollment through the online marketplace HealthCare.gov.
WASHINGTON — Consumers across most of America will see their health insurance premiums go up next year for popular plans under President Barack Obama's health care law.
But it will take time for families to figure out the best bang for their budgets — even as a bigger political battle brews over the program's future.
For many people, government subsidies will cushion the hit. And there's a new factor: Returning customers who are savvy about health insurance and prepared to shop for a better deal.
NEW YORK — Millions of Americans across the country marked Thanksgiving Day with lots of turkey, football, parades and early shopping, while many overcame nasty weather, power outages and even being buried in the snow. At the White House, President Barack Obama spent a quiet holiday with a traditional meal.
Here's a look at how Americans celebrated:
NEW YORK — Early-bird shoppers headed to stores on Thanksgiving in what's becoming a new holiday tradition.
In the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois, the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store was full roughly 30 minutes before Thanksgiving deals started at 6 p.m., including $199 iPad minis.
In New York City, there were 500 people in line by the time a Target store in the East Harlem neighborhood opened at 6 p.m.
And 200 people rushed at the Toys R Us in New York City's Times Square when it opened at 5 p.m.
FERGUSON, Mo. — Protesters in Ferguson pressed pause Thursday as the city welcomed Thanksgiving, decorating boarded-up storefronts with some Dr. Seuss inspiration and gathering for church services — a stark contrast to previous days of outrage over the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case.
VIENNA — Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on hold and sit out falling crude prices that will likely spiral even lower as a result.
Oil prices fell sharply on the news. Even though the decision was largely expected, it showed the once-powerful cartel is losing the power to push up markets to its own advantage.
The move to maintain a production target of 30 million barrels a day appeared to reflect acceptance of the Saudi view within OPEC that short-term pain had to be accepted for later gain.
NEW YORK — Turkey, stuffing and a helium-filled Thomas the Tank Engine are on the menu as friends and families gather across the United States to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Here's a look at how Americans are celebrating:
Oohing and ahhing spectators of all ages lined the route of the nationally televised Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which counted Thomas the Tank Engine, Paddington bear and the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger among its six new giant balloons.
NEW YORK — Millions of Americans are expected to head to the stores for holiday gift shopping on Thanksgiving in what's quickly becoming a new holiday tradition.
Just a few years ago when a few stores started opened late on the holiday, the move was met with resistance from workers and shoppers who believed the day should be sacred.
Last year, more than dozen major retailers opened at some point on Thanksgiving evening. And this year, at least half of them — including Target, Macy's, Staples and J.C. Penney — are opening earlier in the evening on the holiday.
Video: Cop shot
boy in seconds
CLEVELAND — The police officer who fatally shot a 12-year-old boy carrying a pellet gun fired within 1½ to two seconds of pulling up in his cruiser, police said Wednesday. During those few moments, he ordered the youngster three times to put up his hands, they said.
The city released a surveillance video that shows the shooting of Tamir Rice, who was carrying an airsoft gun that shoots non-lethal plastic pellets.
FERGUSON, Mo. — Some witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was lying face-down when Officer Darren Wilson finished him off. Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy, or admitted that they didn't see the shooting at all.
WASHINGTON — There's no free lunch — or breakfast or dinner — for President Barack Obama on Thanksgiving Day. Or any other day for that matter.
He has to dig into his pocket to pay for his holiday feast of turkey, ham, two kinds of stuffing, sweet and regular potatoes, and six different kinds of pie. It's a longstanding practice that a president pays for meals for himself, his family and personal guests.
Obama also pays for other basics — everything from toothpaste to dry cleaning.

Many older brains have plasticity, but in a different placeNovember 20, 2014 8:38 am | by David Orenstein, Brown Univ. | Comments
A widely presumed problem of aging is that the brain becomes less flexible or plastic, and that learning may therefore become more difficult. A new study led by Brown Univ. researchers contradicts that notion with a finding that plasticity did occur in seniors who learned a task well, but it occurred in a different part of the brain than in younger people.

Spiraling light, nanoparticles and insights into life's structureNovember 20, 2014 8:12 am | by Nicole Casal Moore, Univ. of Michigan | Comments
As hands come in left and right versions that are mirror images of each other, so do the amino acids and sugars within us. But unlike hands, only the left-oriented amino acids and the right-oriented sugars ever make into life as we know it. Scientists know the other varieties exist because when they synthesize these amino acids and sugars in a laboratory, roughly equal numbers of left- and right-facing arrangements form.
Could hydrogen vehicles take over as the "green" car of choice?November 20, 2014 7:59 am | by American Chemical Society | Comments
Now that car makers have demonstrated through hybrid vehicle success that consumers want less-polluting tailpipes, they are shifting even greener. In 2015, Toyota will roll out the first hydrogen fuel-cell car for personal use that emits only water. An article in Chemical & Engineering Newsexplains how hydrogen could supplant hybrid and electric car technology.
"Cloaking" device uses ordinary lenses to hide objects across range of anglesNovember 20, 2014 7:51 am | by Univ. of Rochester | Comments

World not close to avoiding dangerous warmingNovember 19, 2014 11:00 am | by Seth Borenstein - AP Science Writer - Associated Press | Comments
The world still isn't close to preventing what leaders call a dangerous level of man-made warming, a new United Nations report says. That's despite some nations' recent pledges to cut back on carbon dioxide emissions. The report looks at the gap between what countries promise to do about carbon pollution and what scientists say needs to be done to prevent temperatures rising another two degrees.

Study: Light may skew lab tests on nanoparticles' health effectsNovember 19, 2014 8:38 am | by Chad Boutin, NIST | Comments
Truth shines a light into dark places. But sometimes to find that truth in the first place, it's better to stay in the dark. That's what recent findings at NIST show about methods for testing the safety of nanoparticles. It turns out that previous tests indicating that some nanoparticles can damage our DNA may have been skewed by inadvertent light exposure in the lab.

As reliance upon Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) exhibits by market participants grows, the potential risks and consequences to companies may expand accordingly. Companies will have to address compliance with applicable federal securities laws and will want to avoid market consequences that might result from XBRL exhibits that are inconsistent with the information in the original financial statements. The SEC prescribed limited liability for XBRL exhibits submitted within the first 24 months from the time the company is first required to submit XBRL exhibits. After this period, the liability provision for XBRL exhibits will be aligned with existing penalties for financial–statement filings.
Your issue:
How can we help you?Although the SEC does not require an auditor's attestation report on the XBRL exhibits, an auditor may perform agreed-upon procedures on the XBRL-formatted financial statements. In addition we could provide the following services:

Just a short post that includes some words of wisdom on people from Warren Buffett. While Buffett's thoughts are generally applicable they are also very applicable to entrepreneurship and venture capital. I look for Buffett's three qualities in any entrepreneurial team we look to back and, as Buffett says, if they don't have the last one, forget the other two. Hat tip: Farnam Street blog
"You're looking for three things, generally, in a person," says Buffett. "Intelligence, energy, and integrity. And if they don't have the last one, don't even bother with the first two. I tell them, 'Everyone here has the intelligence and energy—you wouldn't be here otherwise. But the integrity is up to you. You weren't born with it, you can't learn it in school."
Buffett and Munger were fortunate. They were both smart and worked hard to improve that advantage. The integrity, however, they chose.
"You decide to be dishonest, stingy, uncharitable, egotistical, all the things people don't like in other people," argues Warren. "They are all choices. Some people think there's a limited little pot of admiration to go around, and anything the other guy takes out of the pot, there's less left for you. But it's just the opposite."

North Korean with ties to Kim Jong Un reportedly escapes kidnap attempt in Paris
PARIS A North Korean student with family ties to the regime in his country escaped a kidnapping bid in Paris, where he was studying, and is now in hiding, a French source with knowledge of the case said Saturday.
The architecture student, identified only as Han, avoided the kidnapping attempt at a Paris airport where he was to be put on a plane for Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly on the sensitive matter.
The failed bid to capture Han occurred in the first week of November, and he has been in hiding since then, the source said. It wasn't immediately clear if French authorities had played a role in the escape, how many kidnappers were involved, or where they are now.
Han is reportedly the son of an aide of the once powerful uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The uncle, Jang Song Thaek, was considered the country's second most powerful man before he was executed in December on treason charges.
South Korea's spy agency believes North Korea also used a firing squad to execute several people close to the uncle, South Korean lawmaker Shin Kyung-min said in October after attending a closed-door agency briefing.
Who was putting him on a plane back to North Korea....and who decided to rescue him at the airport.
Trying to figure out what is going on in the blackhole called North Korea....gives me headache.

Expression & Response: Plein air Laguna, CA
Tuesday, Jun. 23rd, 2015 through Friday, Jun. 26th, 2015
Registration Open July 1, 2014
Hosted by Debra Huse Gallery
4-day Workshop
Advanced-Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Painters welcome.
Plein air experience strongly recommended.
Lori Putnams paintings are a personal and genuine response to a scene, and she encourages her students to learn to do the same. Putnam believes that each artist sees differently and leaves his or her own, distinctive mark. Yet letting go of formulas and finding the confidence to express ourselves honestly seems difficult, sometimes even fearful. Students will leave this workshop excited; ready to experiment more on their own; and, above all, pointed toward meaningful, personal, artistic growth.
Putnams approachable, giving nature, energetic demonstrations, and hands-on teaching style have made her one of the most sought-after instructors of our time. Her workshops fill rapidly, and are increasingly difficult to find. Expression and Response is the only workshop she will be teaching on the West Coast in 2015.
Workshop includes lectures and demonstrations, individual painting time, personalized instruction, and group critiques to promote your progress.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Expression & Brushwork: Study to Studio Chesapeake Fine Art Studio
Thursday, Oct. 29th, 2015 through Sunday, Nov. 1st, 2015
Registration Open July 1, 2014
Oil. Acrylic painters welcome.
4-day Workshop
Advanced-Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Painters welcome.
Plein air experience strongly recommended!
As an artist you know you see differently than the rest of the world; you feel inspired and excited by scenes and cannot wait to paint them. Throughout your painting, you loathe some passages, wonder if others are finished or overworked, and live in fear that you will "mess up" the very best parts of the painting that you actually like. In the end, your completed works do not convey your original inspiration or excitement.
Brushwork, paint consistency, and fearlessness are rarely taught. Lori Putnam believes they are essential to mastering more thrilling paintings. In this workshop, students will begin en plein air making many sketches, grasping excitement, and capturing ideas. These sketches (most with little or no detail) will then be used as inspirational material for more-complete studio pieces that remain fresh and inviting.

Stunning hotelPosted Jul 4, 2014 on Hotels.com
It is absolutely beautiful. The room was clean and very comfortable. Unfortunately our minibar had not been stocked properly so we were unable to have any cold water and were too tired to wait for it to be brought up! That and the fact that no hot food is available after 9.00pm were the only downsides to this amazing hotel. You feel lucky to be staying here!

Good for a few nights stay or weekend break.Posted Sep 18, 2012
Pros: the history and ssurroundings
Cons: Lack of walkin shower in the standard bedrooms
With the amount of space we had in the bathroom I was supprissed that there was only a shower fittting to the bath taps. I would have liked to have seen a walk in shower. The restaurant was good but the menu was very similar each night.

Lovely hotel, just 4 hours drive from England.Posted Jul 24, 2012
Pros: The staff; who had that "5 star" ability to make you feel very special.
Cons: The room was a little "musty" and needed airing.
Location: A chateau in beautiful parkland setting with an adjoining golf course.
We stopped here on a return drive from Tuscany and only stayed one night, however we were so impressed by the hotel and its facilities that we intend to visit it for a long weekend soon.

dreams come truePosted Jun 19, 2012
It was my childhood dream to stay in a chateau, so in honeymoon I wanted it become true. The hotel is may be a way of touristic but still amazing. Super quiet, very elegant, full of wonderful sights. We didn't have the courage the gastronomic meals of the restaurant, they suggest us a super cute town with warmer restaurants which was also a lovely mini-trip.

The House of Marley has been patiently waiting to reveal Rocky Dawuni's "African Thriller" music video. The first single off his new album "Branches of the Same Tree", which will be released in 2015. This video is filled with amazing dance moves, ladies in gorgeous outfits and much more for you to enjoy!
Check out more of these dope behind the scenes photos on FARAHSTOP by Farah Sosa!Follow Me
Yesterday the House of Marley was blessed to meet and interview Etana, reggae's beautiful leading lady. It was a big day for Etana as it marked the release day of her 4th album "I Rise". We were given a sneak peak of the album and we put it on blast non stop in the office. Etana's mesmerizing voice and positive words uplift the soul and can make any worry you have slowly creep away. Peep the interview below and the wise words Etana gives to aspiring artists.
Dee: What inspired you to write "Wrong Address", and did you think this song was going to be such a huge success on reggae music charts?
Etana: I had no idea. But my aunt is the person I wrote that song for, who applied for a job and didn't get it. The song is not like reggae reggae so I didn't even think it would fit on the radio.
How did you balance obtaining your nursing degree with your passion for music?
It wasn't a passion of music that made me decide to not go to school. I was just bored and tired of going to work after school and doing the same thing over and over again.
What advice would you give aspiring artists who can't decide whether to stick with school or pursue their music dreams?
You have to follow your heart, that's all it's about really. You have to know within you what you want for yourself and you always. You always have to follow your heart and do whatever makes you happy.
What was the biggest lesson you learned from being in the girl group "GIFT"?
Following your heart, and not being afraid of expressing myself , and doing what I think is right for me.
If you could go back in time what advice would you give an 18 year old you?
There is so much time in the world to do everything, so pace yourself.
What is it like being a woman in a male dominated genre of music?
I always know that I have to go hard, and go hard everyday. A little harder as long as I possibly can, thats all it is.
What was your first reaction when you heard your name being called at the International Reggae and World Music Awards for Best Female Vocalist?
I was a little shocked, it makes you feel good that you are being acknowledged at such an event. To even be nominated is a good feeling.

|Had an amazing anniversary shoot today with my clients Chloe and Rudy near the George Washington bridge. I photographed their wedding two years ago and today Chloe surprised her husband with this gift.
|Nicole and Casey's backyard wedding was incredibly intimate, heartfelt, joyful, beautiful and simple. I just adore the honesty and unpretentiousness of the day. Nicole's dress was perfect for the setting and bare feet all day just added more charm to her already charming personality. gorgeous couple indeed!
|Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Lots of great energy on this day and the car is a serious old vintage belonging to Kyle's grandmother, it made for a fun prop.
venue: Appleford Estate
|Ok! so I'm loving my clients. The engagement shoots have been such fun with clients who glow and have a good time. you can definitely see it here, it just doesn't stop and I love it!
Lorimar & Adam's shoot was photographed in their characteristic neighborhood in East Village, walking around allows for a multitude of fun, colorful and lively backdrops, we definitely had a good time even through the shyness, which I think adds a layer of goodness.
|It's funny how some seasons can be lots of shoots in parks while others are more urban city streets. It's nice to go back to the streets especially in neighborhoods I love. This of course is the west village which is my favorite neighborhood in NYC, it's where I wanted to live when I first came to NYC 14 years ago, but instead ended up on the upper west side.
I love a bubbly personality when it comes to photographing people, it makes for a dynamic shoot. Alyson was all aglow, all smiles, super bright eyes, and such a sweetheart and Sean was laid back and easy going the way I like it - looking forward to their wedding this year!
