geoGirl ES Erase Screen Concealer Review, Swatches, Photo
People, let me tell you, these old eyes need some serious concealing power because I simply don't get enough sleep and the baggage under here is enough to take on my European Tour.
Occasionally I like going really light on the concealer particularly when I've had eight hours of sleep and just don't want a ton of makeup on my face.
And right now, that lightweight concealer of choice is from geoGirl, a collection of products that are actually made for tweens but I figure my mentality is that of a tween so I'm safe.
A creamy, lightweight concealer.
geoGirl is a new line of cosmetics launching at Walmart (it's already available at some Walmart locations) for Fall 2011. This collection will actually be replacing the old Mary Kate and Ashley Cosmetic Collection and features natural ingredients and is free from parabens. The line is meant for 8 to 12 year old girls (tweens) but there are a few pieces that might capture the eye of older makeup junkies like me or you…!
I'm picky with concealers but honestly geoGirl ES Erase Screen Concealer isn't half bad. This little guy is $4.98, mmm an ickle high considering it's competing with larger brands at Walmart such as Maybelline, L'Oreal, etc…and the tube is tiny..but…if you can get past the price you might enjoy it.
It comes in a tiny tube that features a doe foot applicator. The formula is a creamy, thin consistency that offers sheer to medium coverage. I tried the Light Nature shade which wasn't quite a fit for me but it did brighten my eyes up, covered some minor darkness, and wore well throughout the day when set with powder. Count me surprised. The formula is very moisturizing and blends easily. It's not going to erase all your problems particularly finer lines and darkness but it does do a mighty fine job of creating a natural, smooth base under your eyes. This is great for days you're going lighter on your makeup, or you're just running out on errands and can't bare the idea of heading out sans concealer, etc….I wouldn't go so far as to do a full makeup look with it in place but for lighter coverage? Hells to the yes Siree! Plus if you really don't need a ton of concealer anyway this is your girl!
Not alot of bad here if you're using it for the above reasons however if you're expecting miracles…no dice!
- Younger eyes or those who do not need alot of coverage.
- Those wanting a lightweight concealer for minimal makeup wearing.
- Those who don't have alot of problems under their eyes.
- Those who like a smooth, hydrating concealer.
- Those who have severe darkness, finer lines, etc…to conceal.
I'm not sure if the base group of 8 to 12 years olds really need concealer yet…that's a bit young to worry about under eye woe…but perhaps those in the range of 14 and up can take advantage and as for us old farts, we can use it on those lighter makeup days! I actually liked the formula and wish drugstore brands would catch on, this is how to make good, cheap concealer…the thinner, creamier consistency was a pleasure to work with and I'm considering indulging in a different shade when I find these at my local Walmart.
Not too shabby peeps!
Tried geoGirl?

i like the refreshing face gel, although it can apply a tad chalky if you use too much or the area can feel tight and dry. I go to the display before it was heavily picked over like it happens at wally world

Good luck on your tour.

It honestly bothers me that there's a makeup line marketed for girls this young, especially the lower end of the range. I started wearing makeup at 13 and I thought that was really young… And that was just concealer for acne. I'm not conservative at all and I totally support girls expressing themselves, but wearing makeup at 8, 9, 10? That seems crazy to me.
8/22/11 12:03 Cait:
I definitely don't think girls 8-12 should be wearing makeup, but if you think about it, there was always "play" makeup targeted for girls those ages. Parents could buy this as dress-up makeup for their little girls, and it's a lot healthier and more natural then the "typical" dress-up crap. I know when I was little I had a Lisa Frank kit (haha…i'm so old) with a poorly made bright blue eyeshadow and hot pink lipstick that I would use just around the house for fun. It looked hideous, lol, so I think it would have been much better to have healthy, natural options for playing around. In the end, it's up to the parents to teach their daughters what's appropriate.
8/22/11 13:55 Cait:
haha i loved those things! i was obsessed with Lisa Frank.

Collecting for the Boston Athenaeum in the 21st Century: Rare Books and Manuscripts
Presented by Boston Athenaeum at Boston Athenæum
April 23 - August 9, 2014
This Exhibition is a celebration of some of the most beautiful and important rare books and manuscripts acquired by the Library since 2000. Some were gifts to the Athenæum by generous donors. Most were purchased using the income from the numerous endowed book funds established by members and friends of the Library. These named book funds have been essential to the growth of the Library's book collections and continue to honor the memory of those people who realized that important collections need to grow.
As befits the Athenæum's extensive Rare Book and Manuscript Collections, these recent additions range widely in date and place of production. Many of the books to be exhibited are handsomely illustrated such as Thomas Pattison Yeats' Institutions of Entomology which is celebrated for the individual life-size paintings of insects that were added to the pages of the book by Louisa, Countess of Aylesford. La Création, which was printed in Paris by Francois-Louis Schmeid in 1928, is illustrated by numerous multicolored art deco woodblock print.
Fine bindings will also be featured in the exhibit. A particularly unusual one of engraved tortoise shell, dating from 1693, covers The Truest and Largest Account of the late Earthquake in Jamaica. Sybil Pye, a self taught English binder who was active in the first half of the 20th century created the distinctive binding for T. Sturge Moore's The Little School which was printed by the Eragny Press on vellum in 1905. This binding is illustrated on the cover of the Boston Athenæum's wall calendar for 2014 which features some of the books that will be part of this exhibit.

Well, being honest I cant really take to the colour scheme, but what we have to Realise is that without the Financial support of Qatar we would have One less Team in the WRC, one which has been a Major Player over the past seasons (since 1997)
This Colour is widely associated with the countyr of Qatar so I guess it remains their decision, what probably makes it a bit odd is the bit of Blue, if that was dropped in Favour of white it wouldnt look half bad i suppose - instead of a cut and shut - lol
Its what the car does that Really matters and I wouldnt be surprised to see M-Sport beat their 2012 Record of 3 Victories - if you include Portugal

I had just mentioned in yesterday's Les Fleurs D'ete de Chanel I was curious about the quad that would be launching with the release and it popped up on the British Beauty Blogger's site.
Loving the greens but getting more of a Fall vibe from it than Summer! I was expecting some tropical sunny shades for the quad since th rest of the collection definitely has that vibe.
Note: Release is subject to change once it releases in the US.
If you're looking to cheap up your brush cleansing routine, the new Sonia Kashuk Brush and Sponge Cleanser at $6.99 might be a good place to start.
This can be used on both brushes and sponges. I normally use MAC Brush Cleaner but I think I'll check this out my next visit to Target.
Available now from www.Target.com and at your favorite Target location.
It's ok to multitask your conditioner and use it not only on your head but also on your legs to shave with. However, I highly suggest NOT using your conditioner on your face.
Aveeno hasn't quite grasped the concept that applying conditioner on your face is NOT good.

My skin is bulletproof. I blame it on the dryness because seriously nothing can take it down. But for those who are sensitive, easily irritated, or suffer from redness you might want to try out the new Philosophy Keep the Peace Skincare Collection.

Director: Marcus NispelCast: TDBSynopsis: TBD
This should calm any fears that 'Conan' wouldn't get an R rating.
Conan the Barbarian would like to remind you that he still has that biopic coming out this August.
Some new photos from Marcus Nispel's Conan remake have been released and they look pretty good. Bleeding Cool got a look at what Nispel is cooking up and things are shaping up. The sets look pretty intricate and they really captured the sh*thole village aesthetic.
This really is a testament to wizardry of color-correction and special effects. For instance, check out this before and after pic from the set.
Simply amazing.
More (actual) pics after the jump…
'Bout time we see Jason Momoa causing pain as Conan the Barbarian. The first pic released showed him, what looked like, smelling a fart, completely not covered in someone else's blood. I'm not sure why water is spraying at him in the above pic, but my guess is one of those barrels they place on the side of the highway clipped him while he was trying to make the exit, and he had to lay the smackdown. If this movie is about Conan battling an army of road barricades it's going to be awesome. (/Film)
For those of you who can't wait for the upcoming remake of Conan the Barbarian, we have just the thing to hold you over. Behold, Conan the Barbarian: The Musical! Sing along to such classics as "Crom" and "Hear the Lamentation of the Women." Well, it's actually all one song, but I needed to fill some space. Watch Conan the Barbarian: The Musical after the jump.
Put a shirt on! You're making me uncomfortable!The first official picture for the upcoming Conan movie has me confused on multiple levels.When I heard there was a shirtless Conan picture on the Internet, I assumed it was Conan O'Brien, so I got ready to laugh. But when I clicked the link and was confronted with the raw animal magnetism that is a shirtless Jason Momoa, something deep inside me was stirred. It was something I hadn't felt since high school gym class, specifically the time I was partnered up with all-state wrestler Tim Nelson for weightlifting. The muscles, the grunting, the squatting: it was all too much for me to bear and I passed out.After staring at the Conan picture for five-minutes straight, I felt the same confusing feelings welling up inside me, and once again I passed out. But this time, instead of waking up to find myself duct taped to a flagpole, I awoke in a hospital bed. Turns out I'm an epileptic, and glistening male biceps trigger my seizures.After the doctor explained, I couldn't help but laugh, at least until the pain set in. Unfortunately, I chewed off my tongue during the seizure.True Story. Thanks, Jason Momoa. You ruined my life. (Film School Rejects)
Nerds have been on the verge of bonerdom since the above Red Sonja poster was released at Comic-Con in 2008. The status of that project has been unknown since then because Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez aren't banging genitals together anymore. Today, news that the actress has been cast in the Conan remake may finally trumpet that project's demise.McGowan has signed on to play a half-woman/half-witch opposite Fake Lenny Kravitz in Marcus Nispel's remake. Does this mean that Red Sonja is officially D.O.A. or does her agent only hang out with geeks and this role will serve as a taste of things to come? As of right now, it's too soon to tell if she will follow Brigitte Nielsen's career path or what the status is of her sleeping with Lil Wayne in season 26 of "The Surreal Life." (Variety)
Ron Perlman's face is a photo-cropper's worst nightmare.When it was first reported that Mickey Rourke was joining Marcus Nispel's Conan remake, I was skeptical. The project just seemed to be too much in the B movie realm for Rourke. Also, it must be impossible to insure your film when you have Mickey Rourke and swords on set. But then I just figured that it was a cocaine-based decision and the money was too good to pass up. Sorry Eric Roberts, but Mickey Rourke has a rubber cement habit to support.Since that report, Rourke has dropped out in favor of Gods of War. Hellboy and Season of the Witch star Ron Perlman has stepped in to play Corin in his stead and it seems like a much better fit. Also note that Rachel Nichols and Said Taghmaoui (both of GI Joe) are rounding out the cast. Unless false reports pop up saying that Sir Richard Attenborough is circling the project, we can assume that the film is cast and the universe is balanced once again. (Vulture)
"i'm a real tyrant without my morning cup of joe."After his breakthough as a scarred-up badass in Avatar, Stephen Lang is carving his niche as Hollywood's go-to son of a bitch. Colonel Quaritch has been offered the role of head bad guy in Marcus Nispel's Conan remake. The character, Khalar Singh, is a cruel warlord and former comrade to Conan's miniature dog-loving dad.This sounds like an exciting bit of casting in an otherwise unexciting film. Although it could be dangerous to the plot as I'll probably root for Lang over Jason Momoa. But only because I'll always root against white guys with dreads. Just make my coffee, Smelly.Lang was terrific in Avatar and I'm glad that's leading to more work. And before you rush to comment that he's essentially playing the same role, allow me to point out that this time he'll have a sword. It's a subtle difference. (Latino Review)
World's Greatest Dad.It was rumored some time ago that Mickey Rourke would portray Conan's dad in Marcus Nispel's upcoming Conan remake. The dealmaking fell through at the time but the producers likely sweetened the pot by offering a bag of sweetened pot (it's like kettle corn for your lungs). Now Rourke is close to signing on. As reported before Conan stars Fake Lenny Kravitz (with Leo Howard playing Lil' Conan) as he goes on a quest to avenge the slaughter of his people.This casting makes perfect sense. If Rourke were to have a child, there's no way that kid wouldn't grow up to have dreadlocks and a sword collection. (THR)
Last month we reported that Fake Lenny Kravitz had won the role of the titular barbarian in Marcus Nispel's remake of Conan. Today comes word that the role of young Conan will be played by Fake Joey Lawrence. Child actor Leo Howard, who was seen on screens as a little ninja in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, will portray the miniature barbarian for the first reel of the movie. Congratulations to Leo. And I'm not just saying that because he harnesses the ability to kick me in the face. In fact, I'll give him my unlimited approval if he takes out Jaden Smith at the All Valley Karate Tournament. (Latino Review)
BY THE ANVIL OF CROM! Usually, news about a guy who's made a career out of directing remakes is not very exciting; it's kind of annoying. The knock on them is obvious: they're never as good as the source material, and they're usually flashy flicks that lack substance. That's what makes this piece of news so darned interesting. It was announced that Marcus Nispel, the guy who remade both The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the Thirteenth, is on board to direct a remake of Conan. Yeah, it's a lackluster little bit of information but it's good news. Why? Because now we know Brett Ratner isn't touching the movie any more.

Day Two Of in-cosmetics Emerges with Abundant Technology
Posted: April 17, 2008
page 2 of 2Sun Chemical announced the launch of its ten new SunPrizma color effects pearlescent pigments, allowing for the creation of new looks. According to the company, the product's unique color-travel properties are created by light reflected at different angles. The materials are free from absorption pigments such as carmine, ferric ferranocyanide and chromium oxide. As the viewing angle of the color is changed, so is the appearance of the color. The company reports that the secret to the breakthrough tones in this color range is their unique composition—when conventional pigments are rubbed into skin, the black iron oxide platelets generally found in them separate, creating a darkening effect, which does not occur with this new pigment line. For more information, visit www.sunchemical.com.

A New Study Has Identified the Main Signs Women Give Off That Make Men Think They're Easy
May 24, 2012 1:44 PM
We've got the results from a study that covers pretty familiar material . . . men want one-night stands with wilder girls, but want to settle down with women who have more substance. Meh. We've heard all that before.
BUT . . . researchers at the University of Texas used the answers to identify the main signs that make a man THINK a woman is EASY. Now THAT'S interesting.
Here are five of the signs men look for . . . sometimes subconsciously . . . when they're trying to find a woman to get-it-on with that night:
Acting and dressing goofy or childish.
Looking SLEEPY.
Looking extra DRUNK.
Licking your lips a lot, or doing a lot of lip biting.
Touching your own breasts.

The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse, also known as the Jersey City Powerhouse in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, was built in 1908. The powerhouse made possible the subway system between New Jersey and New York for the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (which became PATH in 1963). The powerhouse was closed in 1929 and used as a storage place for railroad equipment. In the 1990s, the building was cited by Preservation New Jersey as one of the state's ten most endangered historic sites. The powerhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 23, 2001.[1][3] It is located near the Harborside Financial Center and Harsimus Cove on the Hudson River waterfront in an area undergoing much redevelopment. Efforts to stabilize the powerhouse from further deterioration began July 2009 and will continue through 2010. In 2011 the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey agreed to transfer its 55% ownership of the building to its co-owner, Jersey City, in exchange for a nearby lot where they will build an underground electric sub-station.[4] It has been determined that the iconic smokestacks cannot be salvaged and will be removed.[5]

Libor fraud, shipping litigation, aircraft finance. This and more is on offer at this internationally minded City firm.
Seoul searching
While shipping is still one of SH's strong suits (just look at the Chambers UK rankings), "the firm is also strong in a number of other transport sectors, such as aviation and rail," says training partner Neil Noble. For example, it advised Hitachi Rail on its bid to manufacture and maintain the new Crossrail trains, and it counselled Vietjet Air on its £480m purchase of 46 aircraft engines. The firm also attracts high Chambers UK rankings for areas as diverse as capital markets, civil fraud and commercial contracts.
International work is very important to Stephenson Harwood. It was one of the first UK firms to venture into Asia – opening a Hong Kong office in 1979 – and expansion in East and Southeast Asia has continued since: the firm now sports outposts in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore (a Guangzhou office shut up shop in 2014). The region is a major market for the firm with 25% of staff based there, while a whopping 60% of fee income is generated from clients based outside the UK. There are also offices in Paris, Dubai and Piraeus. And overseas growth is continuing, with a new office in Seoul now in the pipeline. This move came in the wake of the firm striking up alliances with local outfits in Singapore and Myanmar. A look at the rankings in Chambers Europe, Chambers Asia-Pacific and Chambers Global shows that the overseas offices all perform pretty well in their respective markets, especially in the fields of shipping and aviation.
The current strategy of overseas expansion and practice diversification appears to be working very well. The firm has enjoyed five straight years of revenue growth since 2008, with income reaching £121m in 2013/14, up an impressive 40% from the 2008/09 figure.
Small but MIT
Before arriving, prospective trainees are asked to list three broad departments they would like to sit in first, in order of preference. At later rotations, trainees are able to specify a more narrow sub-group they wish to join. According to interviewees: "Most people tend to get their first or second choice." Sources also told us that: "Commercial litigation is really popular due to its excellent clients – lots of people want to qualify into the department too." Three trainees are able to sit with the team at any one time and it took in four NQs in 2014. Overall 13 of 17 qualifiers stayed with the firm.
The MIT (marine and international trade) department works on all manner of contractual and insurance-related shipping and trade disputes, as well as non-contentious contractual issues. Recently SH defended RSA Global – a large Dutch marine insurer – against a range of claims related to salvage, pollution and repairs originating from a collision off the Chinese coast. Almost all of the work is international and multi-jurisdictional. For example, the London and Singapore offices recently acted for Dutch geo-surveyors Fugro in a dispute over the cancellation of a construction contract for a £71m survey vessel. Arbitration of disputes is increasingly popular: "Rather than going straight to trial, many of our clients now prefer using international arbitration because it's cheaper and more discreet." On the non-contentious side trainees undertake work "drafting and updating insurance companies' contracts and terms and conditions."
A seat in finance is a varied affair, with the department undertaking asset finance involving shipping, aviation and rail transactions, as well as property finance and some corporate finance. Trainees' work tends to mirror their supervisor's sector specialism. While there are administrative tasks like arranging notarial services and organising conditions precedent, one source had "drafted all ten security documents for one transaction," while another said "there are plenty of chances to meet with clients, especially at closing meetings." Asset finance lawyers act for lenders including many overseas banks, as well as aircraft leasing companies and "airlines ordering huge numbers of new planes." Finance is known for its "driven, high-pressure" environment and "punishing" hours. While in litigation you might finish at 7 or 8pm, finance is more likely to keep you until 9pm or 9.30pm if there's a deal brewing. One trainee cautioned: "I knew in advance that the hours would be intense, but they were a lot more challenging to deal with in real life than I'd expected. I didn't anticipate the stamina required."
Libor litigation and Forex fixing
The commercial litigation team has been involved in some topical financial cases recently, including the Libor and Forex rate-fixing scandals. The firm "often acts for senior individuals who are under investigation by the FCA or SFO"– these include Brent Davies, a broker alleged to have conspired with UBS employees to fix Libor, and Chris Ashton, former chief foreign exchange dealer at Barclays, who is currently under investigation for conspiring in online chat rooms to fix the Forex rate. The department also takes on more commercial matters: it was recently brought in to replace Shearman & Sterling by property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz who is suing the Serious Fraud Office for £300m in damages in relation to dawn raids carried out in reaction to the collapse of the Icelandic banks.
Trainees sitting in litigation have the opportunity "to get deeply immersed in a few major cases." One interviewee who'd been working on a "big defamation case" told us they had "drafted witness statements, attended client meetings, sat in on conference calls, and drafted instructions to counsel." Another trainee was sat with a partner whose practice focused on Africa and was heavily involved in arbitrations involving various African governments. In the course of this they "proofread transcripts, drafted witness statements, corresponded with counsel and worked on affidavits." Trainees noted that "because of the size of the cases you generally get less responsibility in litigation than in other departments."
The real estate team's assignments are often finance-related. For example, the firm recently represented HSBC and Deutsche Postbank on a £54m development near King's Cross. The department's clients are a varied bunch though: they include the University of Greenwich, which SH assisted with the £40m construction of a 358-bed student accommodation block, and Native Land, which lawyers helped with the £201m acquisition and redevelopment of the former site of Holland Park School. On larger transactions trainees are tasked with "research, compiling lease summaries, making applications to the Land Registry and carrying out due diligence." To thrive you have to be adept at multi-tasking, with one trainee informing us that they "had about 30 matters on the go at one time!" There is a run-up of "three to four months" before you'll be handling this volume of work, and by then "your supervisor will only give things a cursory glance every now and then, so you really feel like they trust you."
Schmooze don't snooze!
At every seat rotation trainees have the opportunity to head out to Hong Kong, Dubai or Singapore, apart from the first seat. Each office hosts one or two trainees at a time and offer a corporate/finance-focused experience with plenty of shipping and aviation work thrown in. The work involves "liaising regularly with local clients – usually airlines or leasing companies." Those clients include Lion Air and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's leasing arm. Trainees who'd been abroad told us they had "conducted closing calls independently" and "worked with SH lawyers all around the world." One source did note that "doing aviation finance work, I found that a lot of the aircraft are due to be delivered to places like Paris or Hamburg, so we had to work to European time. That meant deals often closed as late as 4am." While the Singapore office in particular has "a bad rep for its long hours," trainees did appreciate the "very nice apartments" the firm puts them up in and the opportunity to take holiday while in the region and travel to some of Southeast Asia's tourist hotspots. There's also the chance to meet, befriend and socialise with trainees from other firms which send people out to Singapore or Hong Kong.
Back in London, the highlight of SH's social calendar – and "the only event which brings together the entire firm" – is the black-tie Christmas dinner, which in 2013 was held at The Brewery in Moorgate. Future trainees are invited too and the evening is "a great networking opportunity and really makes future joiners feel like part of the firm already." The trainee group also enjoys "meeting for casual drinks on Thursdays and Fridays – though whether you can make it depends on your workload."
Trainees felt that they work in a "very supportive environment," noting that "supervisors are well chosen." As one put it: "No one has jumped down my throat... yet!" People tend to be of the approachable sort and "there are few who give off a 'steer-clear' vibe," although "occasionally when people are busy and stressed they might have less time to explain everything like they usually would." Trainees are encouraged to ask questions and to seek clarification; mistakes are tolerated as an inevitable part of the learning curve, "so long as you learn from your errors and don't make them again."
Stephenson Harwood moved into new offices on Finsbury Circus in 2011. That, combined with the firm's growth and drive to expand internationally, has, according to some, affected the atmosphere at the firm. One trainee believed: "It hasn't eroded our friendly and collegial culture, but it has perhaps made everyone a bit more purposeful and formal." One of the ways the firm is addressing its newfound larger size is by organising networking events. Trainees and NQs even run one themselves. One interviewee explained: "We're asked to invite peers from other organisations and SH lays on wine and nibbles." The idea is to get trainees used to the idea of networking and making connections in the industry. "Usually it's the partners and senior associates who get to go off to do the schmoozing, wining and dining of potential clients, so it's great to get that opportunity as a trainee too!"

How to get a Stephenson Harwood training contract
Vacation scheme deadline: 2 November 2014 (winter); 31 January 2015 (spring and summer)
Training contract deadline: 31 July 2015
ApplicationsIn 2014 Stephenson Harwood received 900 applications for its vacation scheme and another 600 direct training contract applications.
Both types of applications begin with the same online form, which asks candidates to list their academic credentials and work experience. According to HR manager Sarah Jackson, "non-legal work experience can be useful as well as legal experience – roles in a different industry can allow people to develop transferable skills and provide a valuable insight into a commercial organisation." She goes on to say that "applicants must be able to explain their interest in a career as a solicitor, and Stephenson Harwood specifically. We want to see that they've done their research and have thought about what life as a lawyer involves."
Tests and assessment day
Around 250 applicants make it past the screening stage, and are asked to take a few pass/fail numerical and verbal reasoning tests.The next stage is a 45-minute interview with a member of HR that involves a mix of competency-based questions and enquiries into a candidate's background and experience. This is the final step for vac scheme hopefuls; meanwhile, around 30 direct training contract applicants are invited to an assessment day. This kicks off with presentations from each candidate on a commercial issue of their choice, followed by a Q&A with assessors. Then there's a 45-minute to one-hour partner interview, which sees applicants given a commercial scenario to analyse before presenting their findings.
Jackson tells us: "We're looking for applicants who demonstrate intellect, good analytical skills and sound judgement, good verbal and written communications skills, drive and determination, and have an appreciation of the bigger picture."
The vacation scheme
SH runs five vac schemes: a week-long placement in the winter, a two-week scheme in April, and three two-week placements over June and July. There's room for eight candidates on each, and participants are automatically considered for a training contract.
Each attendee is allocated a partner or associate supervisor, plus a trainee buddy they can approach for help or with questions. Alongside their departmental tasks, vac schemers attend practice area presentations and strategy talks, and they carry out the aforementioned assessment day tasks.
The firm takes these assessments into account when deciding who gets a training contract offer, as well as feedback from candidates' supervisors and buddies. "We ask about their input into tasks especially," Jackson says. "I think enthusiasm goes a long way – we always remember the people who get stuck in and were always offering to help out with things. We're always impressed by those who ask thoughtful and considered questions."
The number of vac schemers who receive training contract offers "really varies year by year," Jackson says, adding that the firm doesn't prioritise vac schemers over other applicants. "We will make an offer to an outstanding candidate whether he or she has completed a placement or not."
Interview with training principal Neil Noble
Student Guide: What recent firm developments can you share with us?
Neil Noble: Our new Seoul office has opened this year. The new office will enable Stephenson Harwood to develop its existing Korea practice, where the firm acts for some of the largest conglomerates across shipping, shipbuilding and ship finance work, banking, and trade sectors.
The Dubai office opened the previous year, and it has now really got going. It's really grown from literally nothing and has now increased in terms of the numbers of personnel quite significantly. We've seconded a trainee out there for the first time this September.
Back in London, the finance group has seen significant growth, particularly in the rail team. We have brought in three rail specialist partners, alongside the one we already had. This is a significant step in the establishment and expansion of the team. Last year the team won the rail finance firm of the year award at the Global Transport Finance Awards. It's great to see the team recognised by the industry.
The rail team is a real example of the way that our sector focus has evolved. Our focus has to now be described as transportation. In the past we have been defined narrowly as a shipping firm, but now we have a much more diverse transport offering. Aviation, which we've worked in for some time, has been consolidated.
Partly this has been a strategic decision, as the shipping market has faced tough times in the last four or five years. Bank lending is down, and fewer ships are being built, which all affects our business. Having a spread of expertise is important so we are able to move resources around to the areas where they are best employed and keep trainees occupied.
SG: What would you say makes Stephenson Harwood stand out from other similar-sized City firms?
NN: Stephenson Harwood is a very well-balanced firm. Broadly speaking, there is a 50/50 split between the litigious and transactional sides. Then within those, the groups are all evenly weighted. We cover all the major areas that trainees might want to experience. They will always have plenty of variety. Unlike many other firms, we are not heavily biased in any way – no one group or sector dominates.
Having said that, within those disciplines we are very sector-focused. We work for transportation clients, financial institutions etc across the board – the tax department will deal with a bank's taxes, employment will handle their personnel needs, the finance team will help them advance loans and so forth.
Of course, not all firms can claim to have the international dimension. A quarter of our staff are now working overseas, mainly in the Far East. Everyone has the chance to work abroad as trainee or sometimes as an associate. This is the obvious international dimension. Less obvious perhaps is the fact that around 60% of our fee income now comes from outside the UK. Sizeable parts of our practice do no UK work at all. Even if a client is based in the UK, often the companies will be Chinese or German, for example, and we'll be dealing with the UK subsidiary.
SG: What do you look for when recruiting trainees?
NN: There is no one-size-fits-all model here; we have a mix of practices, and those need a mix of people. During the selection process, we're at pains to emphasise that it's good to have different people. Although we want a model candidate, we also want people who are a bit different.
We like it when people come to us with an entrepreneurial spark – perhaps they've run little ventures or businesses on the side of their studies. Or they might display a view of the world beyond academics and have their own views and opinions on the business world. In the future they can then sit down and know how to fill a blank sheet with a business plan. We like people who have an appetite to do things for themselves.
SG: Some of our trainee sources felt the qualification process is slightly more formal and lengthy than necessary. Can you explain why you take this approach?
NN: We always view the process as an opportunity to round up all the things a trainee has done and pull them all together. It's a two-year interview, really, and at the end we bring together all the appraisals and anything else we feel is relevant. When someone comes to us and says they want to join a group, we already have a pretty advanced opinion on them. In my view, the interview is not definitive.
It's a chance for candidates to interview us as well. Often there are two or three people who are interested in several departments and we have to fight with other groups to get the best trainees. It's a two-way process and a very important decision. It's a great opportunity to have a full and frank discussion and asks the big, important questions that no one generally asks, like 'What is it you enjoy about your work?'
Inevitably it will be a daunting time as it is a big decision, and there's the possibility you might have to leave. Most lawyers only expect to move two or three times in their career, so it's bound to be scary.
SG: The firm has recently made several secretaries redundant as certain functions are now outsourced. Is this something we can expect will be more of in the future?
NN: The business rationale behind this is common, and lots of firms are currently doing the same. A significant amount of the work the secretaries were undertaking was just typing. It doesn't matter if that happens ten paces or 1,000 miles away; in terms of pure mechanics they were delivering a service that could be done remotely. The role of secretaries has changed dramatically over the years; they're now better trained and educated, and provide general support rather than just typing, so the change was inevitable.
Any business is hamstrung by employment law. There have to be consultations over a period of time, and minimum periods have to be observed. This stretches a difficult situation over a long time, and it becomes difficult on a personal level. Unfortunately no one wins. It's been relatively painless in terms of the transition; the majority have stayed. They work for more people now, and the amount of typing has been reduced. The lawyers were unsure at first, but now that the change has happened and it works, they're more comfortable.
SG: Do you have any advice for readers planning to apply for a training contract at Stephenson Harwood?
NN: One thing I would emphasise is that the best way of learning is doing. We throw trainees into the work immediately, giving them real-life cases and transactions. They're working with clients, drafting documents, communicating in meetings by email and telephone. This is their evolution to becoming an associate. It's a curve, not a jump. We don't teach, but we allow trainees to watch us, and if they do something wrong they'll learn from it.
My top tip would be that no question is a stupid question. We would much rather you get it right than show initiative but go in the wrong direction, as this could work against your confidence.
Trade sanctions and international trade law
Trade sanctions have long been an important diplomatic tool in the arsenal of national governments. The United States in particular is known for enacting sanctions against countries – from Cuba to Iran – which have provoked its ire. Diminishing defence budgets and lack of public appetite for military intervention have led the US, along with the EU and various other nations, to impose sanctions on Syria, Egypt and Russia in recent years. Such sanctions can be imposed unilaterally by a single nation – as is the case with the US and Cuba – or by an international body on behalf of all its members – for example, the UN on Iraq and South Africa in the 1990s.
The aim of sanctions is usually to restrict the import or export of goods that might be used for military or terrorist purposes. Normal, legitimate trade is generally allowed to continue. The current situation in Syria demonstrates this: EU member states have the power to authorise derogations from the recently imposed sanctions under certain circumstances, provided they consult with the Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces.
Sanctions are playing an increasingly big role in the practice of international trade law. Certain businesses – including those in the shipping, energy and infrastructure industries – have to keep abreast of current sanctions are in place and consider the effect potential future ones could have upon their existing relationships with businesses in targeted countries. As a result, international law firms like Stephenson Harwood, which has well-established international trade and shipping practices, are tasked with monitoring the rapidly changing diplomatic landscape that influences the imposition and relaxation of sanctions. They must also keep a close watch on the ways in which courts have responded to the effects of sanctions in various jurisdictions.
In 2013 Stephenson Harwood successfully represented the Iranian Melli Bank, which was subject to an asset freeze under newly implemented EU sanctions. At the time the asset freeze was put into place, the opposing party in the case, ship management services company Holbud, owed Melli Bank a commitment fee under a discount facility agreement. Holbud argued that the imposition of sanctions frustrated the contract, thereby freeing it from its obligation to pay. The judge rejected this argument, stating that Holbud should have applied to HM Treasury for licence permitting payments to be made pursuant to the discount facility agreement. Evidence demonstrated that such an application was likely to be granted, and as a result Holbud was ordered to pay Melli Bank the full amount claimed.

How to Know when to Let Go
Two Methods:Knowing when to Let Go in GeneralKnowing when to Let Go in a Relationship
"Your heart will let you know when you're ready! You'll continue to think about the person once in a while but just remember how much time an energy it took to let them go."
Letting go may not mean just letting go of a crush, or a lover, or the loss of a loved one. It can also mean letting go of bad habits or quirks or obsessions regarding an idea or a thought. So how do you know you need to "let go" and detach yourself from the certain thing/person? Simple: It comes from self-awareness and inner-strength! Once you are aware that your habit/attachment/obsession is consuming and ruining not just you but also your thoughts, it's making you and others around you uncomfortable or uneasy and making your life harder than it may already be. We have to trust in our inner strength and there must be willingness to let go. That's when you will start salvaging the situation and work towards making a new beginning, possibly a new you!
Method 1 of 2: Knowing when to Let Go in General
1Take the self respect/esteem test: Ask yourself: I respect myself as a person, don't I? Does making this decision/action or continuing down this current path make me reckless? Will I regret this? Will there be major consequences? Will this be better for my life?
- If your answers are yes, then you know that it's time to work towards letting go. You know that no matter how hard the situation is, you have fight through it and jump over or tackle all the obstacles in between.
2Give yourself a reality check. Sadly most of the time, people do know they need to let go, but are unable to because they are afraid. A common example for this applies to relationships, but can be seen in other life habits, too:
- You know you are frequently arguing and getting into fights, or you know your partner is detaching, yet you are hopeful that they may still change and like you back. You feel you aren't ready to let go, so you stick around, even though the relationship is deteriorating. From a third person's perspective, it is easy to shout at the TV screen or a friend to tell the person to dump the other. But in reality, people often falter. Thus, we do the reality check.
3Get perspective from others. Grab a friend (or a parent/counselor if you are comfortable). Ask them what they would do in your situation or just ask if they would even want to be in such a situation.
4Analyze the situation. Write your feelings down on a piece of paper or maintain a diary where you pour your thoughts out. Read and accept the things that are not under your control. Accepting the situation will help you let go of things better.
5Know when you are sabotaging yourself over an ideal. For example, getting obsessed with drawing, and then sucking at it, and still not letting go, and sabotaging your time and money on it. Agreed practice makes perfect, but be patient and do not lose sleep over trivial matters.
6Balance your life. You need to know which investment is worthwhile. If a habit, obsession, hobby, or relationship is taking over your life and consuming the energy you need to devote to other areas, it may be time to let go. If you need to, take steps to break your habits, let go of obsessions, or end your relationships.Ad
Method 2 of 2: Knowing when to Let Go in a Relationship
1Look for signs that it's time to let go, if you're in a relationship. The indicators may vary, but a few red flags can be a bad sign.
2Beware of constant fighting: If you always fight for stupid reasons, it might be that the person is no longer attracted to you and/or feels little towards you/or you may have said/done something wrong for them to think differently towards you. This is not a 100% sure thing, however, as many couples fight. Don't let a couple petty/stupid arguments be the downfall of your relationship, but if there are a ridiculous number of fights between you two, think twice.
- Do you really want to do this? Do you or do you not love them? Are you ready to loose them because of this?). If you do get into fights, it may be a good idea for you both to take a moment and catch your breath as you are probably highly annoyed with one another (lots of time together will do that to you so the best thing to do is to always give each other time to miss one another, they may love you and you love them, but you still get on each others nerves). After that, maybe have a true conversation about your feelings (tell them you don't like fighting, etc.). This will either show clearly that it is over or confirm your feelings toward one another and they will understand/or even agree.
3Look out if you feel constant annoyance: When both sides are annoyed by each other, they show no sign of love and interest and thus, this ruins the whole relationship.You can know they are annoyed by you when nothing you do seems to be right or enough, or if some of your actions in public seem to embarrass them or make them ashamed of you (they should love you for how you act). However, this may just be a result of a fight and in that case, just give it a while and wait till you are forgiven. If it happens when it appears you have done nothing wrong than being yourself, then this is a clear sign of it being over.
4Look for loss of communication: For a relationship to go on, both sides must discuss problems and ideas and if they don't discuss this with you, you may want to consider that it's time to let go (they should be honest with their feelings and thoughts). If you are having serious issues maybe think about going to a couple counselor and sorting out the different emotions you each feel.
5Know that your not caring is a red flag. If you don't what to know about there friends or work or just their day in general, then you shouldn't be with them.
6Look for signs that one of you is pulling/pushing/drifting away: If they start making new friends and talking to other people to annoy you or to get away from you, it might be advisable to let go.
7Watch out for habits of ditching appointments or dates: When one side shows no respect to time and their date, it means they are not very excited and willing to be with them. Do not overreact to a single incident of this; there might be a perfectly logical explanation. But if it becomes a habit, be wary. Try not to ignore these signs. Evaluate them thoroughly.
8Listen to your partner. If the person is brave enough to tell you that they are no longer interested in being in a relationship with you, listen. This can be one of the hardest, most difficult things to hear; however, the truth never hurts as much as deceit. If someone has enough respect to be honest, allow them the respect back, by letting go. You can let go on your own schedule; however, remove yourself from their immediate area. It is never easy to hear that you are no longer 'it' for someone that you shared time with; however, it's a lot easier to get that kind of feedback rather than being left in limbo, right?
9Look for signs that they're trying to meet someone new. If you met them on a dating site and their profile is back up with updated pictures of them golfing in a goofy outfit or another picture taken while you've been with them, this is a major red flag!
10Move on if need be. If you've spent some time thinking over your relationship and analyzing how you feel about the signs that it may be time to let go, push yourself into the next phase. Learn that everything will be okay in the end. Make a plan for breaking up and move on.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- It is really hard, but it might be better for you to just let go in the end. Finding someone who is going to respect you and truly care for/about you will happen. Truly consider the better outcomes and opportunities that are yet to come!
- Be yourself, if they do not like you for who you are then, they should not be with you.
- Renew, release, let go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!
- Trust is always the key to a healthy relationship.
- Do what you feel is right, not, what your friends are advising. This is your situation and therefore, despite all of the advice that you may receive, including this posting, do what feels right to you after you've weighed all advice.
- You should probably be sure about this move. If you're not ready to let go or you find that your reasons don't match any of the above, don't let go unless you want to be the one ruining the relationship.
- It can be very hard to let go but you have to face the reality. Yes, you want to be happy, but you cannot find happiness if you're still clinging on to something that hurts you.
- Though it may sound hard, you need to be selfish in relationship, leave the other half with some dignity by facing up to the emotions you are feeling, and do the right thing for you, if you find this difficult, look at it from the other perspective, would you want to stay with someone that potentially didn't want to be with you anymore?
- It's very important to remember that what matters now may or may not matter in years to come. If you think that a decision you make now will matter to you far into the future then maybe it would be better to take time to resolve the situation in hand.
- Don't let them pressure you into staying with them, if you think it's enough, it's surely enough.
- Letting go may be the best thing that you've ever done for yourself. Although it seems hard and impossible, once you do that for yourself, you'll find a happier version of you!
- Speak more truths than lies. Lying will not make you feel good and will not make anyone else feel better.
- Make sure that you do not waffle on your decision. One of the quickest ways to lose someone's respect is to make a statement and then go back on it. If you draw a line in the sand, be prepared to never cross it yourself and to keep the line there.
- Take interests in things that they do, they may get the wrong idea of you drifting away.
- Missing them is just a part of letting them go. If you give the person time off, and love truly does exist, then give it time to prevail, but the best thing to do is to always give a person space when they really need it.
- Take time to assess the situation you are in, it is hard to find the distinction between loving someone, and being in love with someone. Being able to find which of these categories you fit into will go a long way in helping you to make a final decision.
- Stop harping on what has happened and move forward.
- Everything happens for a reason, good or bad. Learn from it and make sure that it does not happen again with the same people or different people.
- Seek closure. Sort things out with one another. It is hard for a person to face up to their mistakes but not doing anything about it does not mean that nothing has happened. It is only a sign of avoidance and weakness. Moreover, talking about it and analyzing things together will allow people to understand where went wrong and how to improve on things.
- If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were; only see you for the mistakes you've made in the past; then they have to go.
- Making a decision to be one with your spouse is also very important and we can lean on one another two are always better than one.
- The most important thing to pay attention to when your thinking about letting go is to listen to what your partner is say. Sometimes a man or woman will tell you that they're not ready for a relationship or that they just want to do their own thing right now, So if you're not on the same page as them as far as when you guys stand then it's time to let go because it doesn't matter how long you wait for that man or woman you can't make them change their mind. You can't make them love you, they have to want to change their ways for you, you can't force them to do anything and that's the most important thing.
- When it hurts more than it makes you happy, then it's time to let go.
- The most important thing to pay attention to when your thinking about letting go is to listen to what your partner is say.

You can't make them love you, they have to want to change their ways for you, you can't force them to do anything and that's the most important thing.
- If you decide to let go, avoid looking back upon the things that make you want to return to the way it was. That is not possible.
- Look yourself in the mirror and think about why you don't want to let go; this might hurt but afterwards you might find that you are reading this article, because the other person has already let you go and you are worth much more than that. Remember never to wait on someone who isn't waiting on you; there will be more opportunities to meet better people so don't slam the door behind you but don't look back at it either. Instead look towards the window of opportunity that only you are able to open for yourself. When writing your own fate don't let anyone else hold the pen.
- If you want to let go cut off all communications and everything linking you to that specific person or thing they're not worth holding onto if you have to contemplate when to let go.
- Do not go crawling back to this person.
- It might be a good idea to speak to the person about this first. There is a possibility that all of these behaviors are related to something else, and if that is the case you do not want to ruin a relationship off of a judgement you cast.
- If you still care, you should never ever, ever let go for hobbies such as drawing, writing, or dancing.

Big Price for Big Book
The master copy of the working draft of the book ''Alcoholics Anonymous,'' which belonged to William Wilson, a co-founder of A.A., was sold at auction yesterday for $1.576 million. Sotheby's sold the 161-page manuscript, considered the bible of A.A., to a classic book collector from La Jolla, Calif., said Matthew Weigman, a spokesman.
The auction house had estimated the manuscript's price at $300,000 to $500,000. It was offered for sale by an unidentified A.A. member who said he received it from an aunt who knew Wilson.
Some collectors and scholars expressed concern that the manuscript's sale would put it out of the reach of scholars interested in studying 12-step programs like A.A., which some consider one of the most important movements of the 20th century. They wanted the manuscript to go to A.A. or to an archive.
The typewritten manuscript has a multitude of annotations that showed how the Big Book, as it is known, was very much a group project. Early drafts went to dozens of people, from alcoholics to psychologists. In the manuscript's margins they refined the language and hammered out their philosophy of how only another alcoholic could help an alcoholic stop drinking. It was published in 1939.
Wilson, better known as Bill W., founded A.A. with Robert Smith in 1935 and became very much its public face. He died of emphysema in 1971.
A 1978 inscription on the manuscript is from Wilson's wife, Lois Wilson (who died in 1988), to a ''Barry.'' Some historians think that is the writer Barry Leach, who wrote a biography of her.
Magazine Uproar Grows
Resignations from The American Scholar in protest over the impending departure of its editor, Anne Fadiman, and three other staff members has grown to include 7 of the 12 members of the editorial board and at least 8 of the 11 contributing editors, some board members said.
The list of people leaving one of the country's premier literary journals reflects the tumult that ensued in March after a budget dispute between Ms. Fadiman and the publisher, the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Ms. Fadiman's supporters contend that she and the three editors were fired without an adequate explanation. John Churchill, secretary of the society and publisher of the journal, said the resignations (''She chose to say she was fired,'' he said) came because of the ''society's inability to work with her over budgetary matters.'' He said the three other staff members were part of a package deal with Ms. Fadiman.
''This is a scandal,'' said one former editorial board member, Todd Gitlin, a professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University. ''They simply told Anne she was gone. There was a lot of anger.''
Mr. Gitlin and some others who resigned contend that Ms. Fadiman should not bear the weight of the journal's budget woes. They were also angry that they were not told about decisions related to Ms. Fadiman's tenure.
The American Scholar, which was founded in 1932, has a healthy circulation, about 28,000, but it has also struggled with a deficit of $250,000, Mr. Churchill said.
While some board members said they thought the resignations could hurt the magazine's reputation, Mr. Churchill said they simply reflected loyalty to Ms. Fadiman. He said a search committee was looking for a new editor. FELICIA R. LEE

Author has written 20 stories for Rurouni Kenshin, Weiss Kreuz, Dragon Ball Z, Inuyasha, Beyblade, X-Men: The Movie, and Naruto.
Other alias-names? Ktiraam
Who am I? A woman, freelance illustrator and amateur writer.
Hobbies: drawing, writing, reading, handicrafts, studying English & Japanese
Loves: mangas, movies, books, comics, tea, music from '80s & '90s, fantasy, sci-fi, BL, het-couplings, mythologies, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greek, vampires, elves, nekojin (cat-people)
Current fandoms: Torchwood, Doctor Who, X-Men, The Hobbit, Transformers, Harry Potter, Naruto, Inuyasha, Jack & Ianto, Bofur & Bilbo, Gambit & Rogue, Jazz & Prowl and various sci-fi / TV series...
What else? I really hate having writer's blocks or artist's blocks. They kinda makes me feel frustrated when I have no idea how to go on from that point. When that happens, I spend my time reading books or other authors' fanfictions.
Speaking of fictions: might as well warn you readers that I work slowly with my fictions... it's mostly because of the writer's blocks and having no idea how to process. Not to mention that English is not my native language. I still have some difficulties with English spellings and grammars... where I need beta-readers to have a look at my writings. I'm more of a English talker than a writer.
To all you readers that have enjoyed reading my fictions so far: thank you. Thank you for reading and reviewing my fictions! Don't you worry, there will be more stories - both fanfictions and original stories. At least, in time... (Patiences, please.)
Fav. series, characters & couples:
Current fics in progress...
X-Men (movie-verse):
Other sites that has my works in them:
ART-BLOG: Momentous World (My so-called website, since Haikii.Org was closed down last year. ON HIATUS.)
Fan / Original stories:
AdultFanFiction.Net - (Pen name: k-tiraam)
((If AFF.Net is "down" or doesn't work correctly, and you can't read any of my NC-17-fics, email me and ask me for the fics.))
Fan / Original arts:
Boxer & Rice - (Pen name: Ktiraam) ((Warning: MAJOR adult and yaoi-themed website; all you anti-yaoi fans and minors, shoo!))
((That's some of them so far. There might still be others, but I need to re-locate them.))
NOTE (06/01/2014): Again? It happened again?! The time flies past too quickly! Ugh. I really need a TARDIS of my own. ;P I haven't been in a writing mood for very long time. Nor in artistic mood either. Well, not all the time, but I do have some ideas in planning... I just hope get inspired enough to get them done. My life have been filled with ups and downs and I have lost my interests in some fandoms. (I do love read fanfics of them, just not in mood to write or draw about them... )
In the meanwhile, enjoy reading the fics that are written so far. (Even though they are OLD!!) If any of you got any interests on beta-reading/editing my fics, please, contact me!

Hope you enjoy
Breakdowns and breakthroughs, rinse and repeat.
Fresh into my 33rd year with a big realization that I think will ultimately change my life for the better. Not that it's been an easy realization to digest along the way. For over five years I've poured my heart, my soul and my wallet into the dream of 'making it'. The goal that one day at least a million people will hear my music around the world. The fantasy that I will one day wake up to hear my music featured on the radio or be featured on a daytime show. The vision of having a kick ass band and touring through Europe together….
After these years of growth, of successes and failures, of built musical relationships and broken ones, I am tired.. I'm tired because the dream of creating music professionally has become something else. All of a sudden it's about social networking, how many 'likes' I have, talking less, drinking less and secluding myself from everyone around me to avoid further damage to my already injured voice. It got to the point where I felt like I was in a cage. Music became more about marketing myself as a product rather than simply doing what I love. For a minute I lost sight of the one thing that brings me complete joy. The place where I can be lost and found at the same time. The part of me that speaks my truest voice. My most vulnerable pleasure. Well…one of my most vulnerable pleasures.
I'm over chasing a band with the hopes of a collaboration when dollar signs speak louder than the pure enjoyment of collaboration, harmony and innovation. It's been discouraging to lose so many wonderful musicians because of that. Of course I get it. But it sucks. I never pictured it like this.. maybe because everyone in college was just down to play music for the sake of the music and only the music.
I may not be famous. I may not have a band.
In the end, I'm just a girl with a guitar.
And that's just perfect.
I'll be Waiting
Five months ago my father went to the hospital for a check up. The doctor told him it's a miracle he is alive and that he must prepare for an immediate open heart surgery. After the surgery, we heard from family members that it was successful. More than anything, though, I wanted to hear it from my dad. I wrote this song while I was waiting for him to wake up and tell me that he's okay….I'm grateful every day that he is healthy and regaining his strength.

A great first weekend on our About to Pop Tour!
Take off!
We had a great first time experience with the good people of New Paltz!! We took the stage at Snugs Friday night and enjoyed playing for a vibrant, dancing crowd. We're happy that we'll be playing there again on this tour and headlining this time (!) on Saturday, November 30th.
We opened the night with our World Pop flavor and enjoyed the reggae/ska band that followed, The Big Takeover.
Our second stop this weekend was in Binghamton NY at my old stomping grounds, The CyberCafe West. It was so nice being there and singing our newest material for old friends.
If you're ever in the Binghamton area, be sure to stop at this awesome place. The food, the energy, and the music that comes through this cafe make it so special to so many. Keep giving back to this small business that makes a difference for so many.
Our next stop is Stella Blues LLC in New Haven, CT. See you there Thursday night!
About to POP!
And we don't mean this kind of pop! http://instagram.com/p/fqta30QvvU/
The tour is just over a week away and I'm beside myself with excitement, anticipation. Looking forward to taking the show on the road, back to back gigs, bonding with my beautiful band, creating exciting and inspiring performances…THIS is just the beginning. Hope to see you along the way.
