Lush... it's a brand you either love or hate. Me? I love it. Though I don't love all products, I do have my fair share of favorites. I adore their masks, their acne treatment products, their Christmas gift sets, and their soaps. Yesterday I went to Lush in the Hague (Den Haag), and got me some goodies. I'm talking about their soaps. They had their annually promotions again, which meant 50% off at a large selections of products.

I got some Christmas gift sets for a few friends, and got myself 3 soap bars. I'm a big citrus lover, thus got myself the citrus scented ones: 'Northern Light' (a freakishly neon yellow 'un), 'Sexy Peel' (gosh it smells so good), and 'Bohemian' (very relaxing). Got one gift set with the soap 'Honey I Washed The Kids', and really regret not picking it up myself. It's on the list of "to buy" things already ;-).

What are your favorite Lush items?

An Unplanned Beauty Haul

These are the beauty bits I've bought in the past week since I've been in the Netherlands. I know I shouldn't be spending this much money on beauty (actually on anything), but I just couldn't not buy them as I got great deals on most of the items.

I know I'm a bit late to the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat train, but I'm here, and I'm on it. I love the consistency, and the coverage of the foundation. I just don't see the dewiness when it's applied on my skin. As I have combination skin, I do need to powder my nose, chin, and between my brows (yes I do that, and more people should!). If not I look like a shiny, hot mess in a few hours - thank goodness for blotting papers (or soft tissues if you have to). I got it for around €34, as there was a 20% off at Douglas (a Dutch store specialized in beauty products, and fragrances) but a few days later I saw it on sale at, I felt like crying.

The two lippies are the YSL Glossy Stain in #11, and the Dior Addict Extreme in Plaza. Two lippies I already own in other colors, as I loved the formula so, so much. Was intending to get the Dior in Rivièra, as that color is gorgeous, but when I got home and opened the lipstick it said Plaza. Already applied it a few times when I noticed it, bummer. Love the color nonetheless.

On to the more skincare items, La Roche-Posay Effaclar DUO, and Formula 10.0.6 Down To The Pore Blackhead Banishing Pore Strips (jeez, they should make their product name shorter). Haven't tried the pore strips yet, will do that tonight as a pre-NYE pamper, but have been using the LRP moisturizer for the past three days. Because of all the stress, late nights/early mornings, and lots of (un)healthy food I broke out a bit on my chin. After reading tons of reviews, and ravings I thought I should give this 'un a shot, haven't noticed any changes in my skin though. Will keep you posted! Also repurchased the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment, as I finished my Clinique one, don't like the Lierac one I got in Paris, and love me some moisturizing eye cream when it's winter.

7 Things I've Been Loving (December 2012)

It's almost the end of the month, thus time for my monthly favorites. Can't believe it'll be the last one this year already! The bits are a bit of a mix this month, very random. Varying from face to hands, to lips to nails to something totally beauty unrelated.

I absolutely adore all Marc Jacobs fragrances (the man himself is a genius), so this rollerball fragrance is the best thing ever. I'm not the person to lug around full size perfume bottles - never have, but do love smelling lovely. It's great for going out, and to just pop it in my purse/clutch. The staying power is nice, lasts quite a while, and it's a very feminine, yet "young" scent. Not too sweet, not too heavy, just perfect.

I'm pretty sure you've seen this name poppin around some blogs lately. It's a gorgeous plummy color, great for autumn winter! It's MAC's lustre formula, and very moist and glossy. Color wise it'd say it is very close to NARS Never Say Never Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, it's just not matte, and not as drying.

Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover | €9
I won't spend much time talking about this product as I've done an entire post about it. Simply have been using it loads, and will definitely continue using it!

Burt's Bees Lemongrass Cuticle Cream | €7.79 (now €5.84)
Ditto. Have to stretch that I lurrve the lemongrass smell!

Bepanthen | €8
In the winter I suffer from very dry hands, and my skin becomes very sensitive. I've gotten red patches, dry spots, and just irritated skin because of the cold air. I just pop this on the patch, let it sink in, and it's all better. Repeat when it feels itchy again. I also have a few pocket sizes which are in my pencil case, make up bag, and just in the front pocket of the bag I'm carrying at the moment.

Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush 'Spicey' | €18.85 (now €15.08)
I'm pretty sure that I mentioned these before on my blog. I got two of 'em, and definitely will continue getting more colors as these are genius! They really stay on the entire day/night, don't budge, and have the most flattering, natural, and gorgeous colors. Spicey is very subtle, has a very natural shimmer in it, and is a peachy/pink shade. Basically looks like a natural blush, but better.

You've probably noticed me mentioning this website loads lately. That's because I cannot say anything bad about it. Alright maybe I do. But that's only regarding the stock level on some items (gone is gone), and the return policy (no free returns). Besides that, I'm one happy camper.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Finally the long awaited shoe haul. Two pairs from THEOUTNET sale, and one from the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M designer collaboration. I adore all three pairs, and they all fit like a glove. I'm not one to splurge on shoes that much, especially not getting 3 pairs of designer goodies, but I just felt that I'd regret it forever if I hadn't ordered them.

I know the lighting is a bit off, and the quality isn't too well. My camera died on me, it's charging at the moment, and had to take the pictures with the shabby iPhone 4S camera :-/.

Merry Christmas!

Hohoho, Merry Christmas babes! I'd like to take this moment to thank you guys for sticking with me all this while, and hope you'll have a great time during the holidays!

I've been back in the Netherlands for two days now, and have to say I like it, but obviously miss Paris!

When I got home I still had my theoutnet order, and my MMM x HM nude pumps to unpack. So exiting, and can't say that this wasn't one of the best buys I've made this year. Best thing about it: everything fit like a glove and didn't had to be returned. Expect a post soon! Also, since I've been home (well... in these two days) I did some unplanned shopping, and splurged a bit on the beauty side. Oops. Got great buys though ;-).

Have loads of mullet wine, and have a great time with your beloved ones dolls!

Marvis Toothpaste - Worth the Splurge?

Marvis toothpaste retails approximately for €9, depending on where you buy it

I've used this for the past two months now, and as the tube is almost empty I thought it'd only be fair to do a review about it. I purchased the whitening version. I'll be very blunt, the product doesn't really make me all rambly about it. After the first two days I saw dramatic results, and my teeth were really (italic) whiter. After that I didn't see any result or difference anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great toothpaste that makes me feel clean, and that has a great mint taste to it (I need a toothpaste with a heavy mint taste, so I feel clean ;-). Also the packaging is amazing. I mean: look at it. A vintage-ish looking tube, also available in different colors (which stand for the different ingredients/tastes).

But as only the taste, and packaging are the positive factors for me, I wouldn't repurchase this. It's simply not worth the extra pennies spend on the toothpaste in my opinion.

Have you ever tried Marvis toothpaste or are you planning to try it?

Bye-bye Cuticles

We all know it, the embarrassment when someone compliments you on your beautiful nail color, and then you feel their eyes burning on your dry, and not-so-attractive cuticles. Yep. Used to happen to me very frequently, until I bumped up into this amazing duo.

I'm talking about Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover and Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream, they literally changed my life. Before this, the only thing I'd do to "take care" of my cuticles was applying the Herome miracle pen once in a while (with that I mean once a month or so).

Now I apply the Sally Hansen cuticle remover once, or sometimes twice a week to get rid of the cuticle part that's there all dried up and being ugly. It's very easy to use. You just apply a generous amount of the product on your cuticles. I just finish the rest of my fingers, and then then gently push back the cuticles. Rinse it off with lukewarm "soapy" water, and done. I wait a minute or so, and then rub the Burt's Bees cuticle cream over the cuticles. It's a very nourishing cream that isn't sticky and I love the smell. I'm a great citrus fragrant lover, thus this citronella/lemongrass scent is a great plus in my opinion.

I often just rub the cuticle cream in whenever I are that my cuticles are getting a bit dry, or just when I'm watching a series, then I just rub it in and do nothing ;-).

This little combination basically is my once or twice a week home-mani now. Doesn't take more than 5-10 minutes. Easy, breezy, beautiful. Yep I just felt the need to quote Covergirl. No comment.

What products do you use to take care of your nails/cuticles?

Review: Chanel Joues Contraste Blush

I've featured this blush in my November favorites already, and blogged about it in my haul post, and I figured it's time to do a proper review. I won't say how much I love it, as I think my favorite post already covers that part ;-). The blush I'm talking about is 27 Rose Initiale. When Lisa Eldridge told me (well... us) that she used it on Keira Knigthley, and I saw how stunning that looked, I had to get it too.

The color is gorgeous, it's a very natural pink, which is perfect if you want to look like you don't have any make up on. There is a slight, very slight shimmer in the pan, but you barely notice it on the cheeks. It's not very pigmented, which makes it very blendable. It has a slight rosy scent to it. If you know how the Lancôme Dolls Eyes mascara smells like, the fragrance is similar. It comes in a velvet pouch, which I think is pure luxury. The packaging is their signature black plastic casing, which is very chic - if there are no fingerprints on. Inside there is a great mirror, which I use to put blusher on, as it's more focused on the face whereas the big mirror is just... well, big. I don't use the brush that comes with it, as I don't think it applies the blush nicely. I like to use my mini kabuki brush of Ecotools.

The staying powder good, it's still on my face after an entire day of university. I think it holds for about 8 hours, though I have to be honest, I didn't time it ;-). I made some pictures of me wearing the blush, but somehow my MacBook won't recognize the SD card or my camera, boo! Will try to see if I can get it uploaded soon, and post it as a FOTD.

All in all, I love it loads, and though it is very expensive, I'm definitely going to save up, and get another color. These are just great, and worth saving up for!

Have you ever tried a Chanel blush, and which color do you love the most?

Exams, Moving, and Internship Rambles

image courtesy of

Yesterday was my last class this semester, this school year actually. Can't believe that this semester went by so fast in Paris, it's kinda scaring me. Tomorrow I'll start with my exams, I have 5 in total, which is squeezed into 4 days. I've been working on 3 different projects for the past few weeks, and had to pull some all-nighters this week to finalize everything, and make it perfect. Handed everything in yesterday, so now I can focus on studying. I probably won't have much time to write any blogposts next week, but I'll do my best to at least pop one, or two posts!

As my semester ends next week Thursday, it means that I'll move back to the Netherlands that same weekend. Really will miss Paris, but glad to go home for Christmas, and New Years to spend time with my family and friends. Won't have much time to relax, or stay home, because I'll move to my next destination where my internship is!

Initially I wanted to go to NYC, I mean... who doesn't? But things didn't all work out, and it just took too long to get things confirmed, so I decided to open up, and apply to companies in London, UK as well. At this point my placement in London is almost confirmed by my uni, which means I'll be spending the rest of the year in England! So motivated, and enthusiastic about my coming 6 months there, can't wait to explore the British lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and just everything that comes with the life there. Though I don't think I can appreciate bacon and eggs at 8 o clock in the mornings...

Just wanted to share this exciting news with you lovelies! I've been apartment hunting these past few days, but if you happen to be a Londoner: please do advise me on which areas are the best to live in. My internship will be in Chelsea, so I'd rather live close to that area :-). Tips are always welcome!

Have a lovely Sunday!

NOTD #4 | Feeling Spotty Today...

I'm a gal that likes to change up her nail polish every other day, though I'm aware it's not really good for the nails. However, I've been rocking this look for over 4 days already, so proud of myself. And, the polish is not even chipping!

What have you been wearing on your nails lately?

THE OUTNET Clearance

It's that time of the year again, the huge clearance of THE OUTNET. Hooray! As a fashion addict, and shopaholic myself, I have to admit that this post might be very dangerous - if you know what I mean ;-). The sale lasts for 6 days, and started yesterday, so 5 more days to shop. But be quick, just like all the items on there, when it's sold out, it's gone... for ever.

There are some great pieces, and a whole lot of 'em are reasonably priced, or ridiculously discounted. I've seen a whole lot of nice things, but unfortunately had to "remove" them again from my shopping basket.

You must be wondering whether I got something. Err, yes I did. Not clothing, not accessories, not bags. Nope. I got shoes! I'm not going to tell you which shoes, yet, as that'll spoil the surprise when I receive them. I sent them to my parental home, so it'll take a bit longer when I can show them to you guys. Expect a shoe post, as I also have to share my MMM x HM purchase with you dolls!

The only thing that I'll say about my purchase at THE OUTNET is that I had an amazing deal. Checking out for once was a pleasure, and made me feel less guilty about the money spent ;-)!

What will you get from THE OUTNET clearance?

Sephora Haul

I though I actually posted this, but apparently I didn't. Sunday, 2 weeks ago, I went to the new mall that's just 10 minutes by foot from my place and did some shopping. Oh boy, it's such a nice mall, and so pretty! It's been there for almost 2 months now, and has some very nice shops in there.

Of course I stopped by Sephora, and couldn't resist walking out without the red-string bag. I only got two small nail products that have been on my list for decades now, the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry top coat, and Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover.

I've only tried both products once, but am very impressed! Will test them out a bit more, and might pop a mini review of both of 'em on the blog.

Have you ever tried Sally Hansen products?

Bag Crush #2 | Kate Spade Little Nadine

image courtesy of Kate Spade NY

I know that lately I've not been crushing on bags that much (okay... if you don't count my Christmas wish list...). Anyho'. Yesterday I went to ebay, and started to randomly browse, and then the Kate Spade limited sale event caught my eye. I saw a lot of bags that I liked, but not necessarily adored, until I saw little nadine. Gosh she's so pretty!

It's the perfect size, color, and shape for me. I found my daily it-bag I think. I love the pop of pink, my only colorful bag is my mini M.A.C. (Minkoff) in teal. As I got the mini, it's way to small for everyday - great for going out though. So this little nadine totally fits perfectly in my needs. I can hang it across my shoulders, or hand hold it when I feel like it. It has a turn lock closure, and gold detailing.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! The best part? It's at 57% off on ebay right now, sold by Kate Spade themselves, making this beauty cost only $169 (original retail price: $398). Bargain! I'd order one immediately, it's just that they don't ship outside the States, and Canada. Bummer...

For my American, and Canadian readers, do check out the sale, there are some really cool items there. The sale ends December 11th, so hurry ;-).

Have you found a Kate Spade bag you fancy?

Review: Chanel Correcteur Perfection Concealer

I featured this product in a previous haul, and favorite post a while ago, and have worn it every day - literally.

It's a very lightweight, rather matte (but non-drying) concealer. I have combination/oily skin, and it stays on me perfectly the entire day. It's a great overall concealer, I love it for the redness on my chin, around the nose, slight hyperpigmentation on the cheeks, and the odd pimple. As it is non-drying it doesn't flake around the pimple (if it happens to be a bit dry), and is long-lasting even without powdering it.

I tried it as under-eye concealer, but I prefer my Laura Mercier Undercover pot over this one. Though it does a good job concealing the area(medium coverage), I have the lightest one of the yellow undertones (20), so it doesn't work as good as a pinked toned concealer. It's the usual story: pink combats the dark purple color we have under the eye, etc. etc. ;-).

The packaging is nothing special, or extraordinary. Just the usual 'lipgloss' concealer packaging, with the sponge tip applicator. It's plastic, and the body is matte, showing the color of the product. The color of this concealer matches my skintone perfectly. Though it might look scary on the swatch, it's very blendable, and do keep in mind that it's swatched at the part of my arm which is lighter than my face.

It may sound weird, but when applied, the concealer gives a soft look. Almost velvety if that makes sense. The result is very natural, and you barely can spot that you have concealer on at all! The product is available in 6 colors in the States, and UK, and 3 colors in the rest of Europe. The colors range from really pink to dark orange-ish, and retails for approximately $40, £26, €33 respectively.

Have you tried this concealer before, and what are your thoughts on it?

Ooh La La!

Have you seen the newest Louis Vuitton campaign yet? Louis Vuitton collaborated with street style bloggers Miroslava Duma, Hanneli Mustaparta, and Elin Kling to showcase their newest mini bag range. J'adore! It's such a fun, and cutesy video, the 'Ooh La La', and the background music totally helps creating the mood for the campaign.

I usually am a big bag kinda girl, but oh boy, these mini bags have converted me. If I had the money I'd get one of each! They all have a strap, which is great for when you're on-the-go all the time, and still want to look fashionable whilst not having to struggle carrying a fashionable bag. If I had to pick my favorite... err, no I just can't ;-).

What do you think of their "Small is Beautiful" campaign,
and which bag is your favorite?

Oh Santa...

When my mum asked me what I wanted for Christmas today, I couldn't answer her question. Because honestly I haven't been thinking much about the things I wanted. Unlike last year, where the Clarisonic MIA was on top of my wishlist (which I in the end got - sweetest parents of the world). Now, I really had to think for a moment, and still didn't really know what to ask for.

So I figured it was time to make a wish list, and thought I'd share it with you. Maybe it'll be a source of inspiration for those that are undecided about what to put on their wish list, or if you want to gather some inspiration for gifts for others. I did all my Christmas shopping already, and just need to grab my dad a good old wine from Lavinia, and then I'm all set :-).

I kept the list very small, and reasonable. I mean... I don't want to make my parents bankrupt, do I ;-)? Let me know if you'd like me to write a Christmas Gift post!

What would you like for Christmas?

Review: Avène Eau Thermale

I've been really enjoying this product, even though this wasn't featured in my November favorites post. I made a rule to only list 7 things, and I have to keep my word, otherwise the list is never ending ;-). So to show you what an amazing product this is, a short review about the product.

Some of you might remember me reviewing the Evian Facial Water Spray, that was such a raved up product back in the day, and to me it didn't do anything. Though this is also a similar product, I actually can feel the difference when sprayed on.

I really like the way the mist is sprayed over the skin, I can't really describe it, but the spray itself is different than the Evian one, or any other spray product. It allows the product to be distributed well over the skin, and doesn't tighten up the skin. Though this certainly isn't something that should replace your moisturizer, ever, it's great for a pick me up after a day of hard work. Sometimes when I have had make up on all day, I just blot with either a tissue, or my blotting papers, and then spray this on. My make up looks better, and I just get an instant boost, just like the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.

There is no scent to this, and suitable for all skin types. Is this a staple in everyones skincare routine? No. Do I recommend you getting this? Hell to the yes. It's not a product that you absolutely need to have (unlike primer, moisturizers, toners, etc. etc.), but if you have the money for it, just try it out. It's not expensive, and has 3 different sizes. I got the 150 ml for around €5.

Have you ever tried Avène Eau Thermale, and what did you think of it?

7 Things I've Been Loving (November 2012)

November has passed, so it's time for my favorites from the month already. Cannot believe how fast this month has gone, and cannot believe it's December first today! It means that I only have 3 weeks left, or to be precise 21 days in Paris. Though I'm having a blast here, I'm ready for my next step in my life, which is where ever my internship will take me ;-).

This month I've totally integrated my new French pharmacy buys in my skincare routine, and have to say my skin has been looking better than ever! Even got compliments from my mum, and aunt... while Skyping. So yes, these bits have been amazing to me, and cannot say anything bad about them.

Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector (not in shot) | €75 - €130
It's a serum that claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pores, and imperfections (uneven skintone). It's been on the market for a while now, and has received many raves on the blogging/Youtube world. Though I have put off trying this serum out ever since it's been out, I gave the serum a shot at the beginning of the month. I still had a deluxe sample laying at home, and decided to try it for a while, and see what I thought about it. But wow, I can really say it does work, and I don't say that very fast for anti-pigmentation serums. I've tried a fair share of "brightening" serums etc, and I've only found this one, and the Kiehl's Color Correcting Serum to work for me. Little goes a long, long way, and I've tried this exactly a month now. Some pigmentation have gotten lighter, and some even almost disappeared! I'm not very sure whether my pores have been minimized, but I'll keep you posted on that.

This has been on my "to try" list for a while (with while, I mean years), and have never gotten to try it. As it's almost impossible to find in the Netherlands, and always sold out in the pharmacy. And I can get why. I was lucky that last time I was able to snap up a bottle (unfortunately, when I got there today it was sold out again...)! As I said in the beginning, my skin has been so clear, and well this month, and I'm sure it's also because of this. It's organic rosewater, and smells like roses - duh. I definitely will repurchase this, and am saying sayonara to my Caudalie Beauty Elixer as toner. It is a staple for my on-the-go make up bag for refreshing purposes, but I just feel that rosewater is doing many good things for my skin at the moment.

Chanel Joues Contraste '72 Rose Initiale' | €37.50
When I saw Lisa Eldrige's make up look for Keira Knightley, I absolutely adored the blusher used on her, and was dedicated to get it in duty-free.  It is very buidable, and gives the healthiest rosy glow to my face. It's not the most pigmented, but that is alright, as you can build it up slowly, and doesn't give you a heavy make up look. It also has a slight rose scent to it, which disappears once applied on the skin. It's a rosy blush mixed with some peach, and flattering for most skintones. There is a slight shimmer in the blush, which is great for sporting the no-make up look.

I've used this mask 4 times now, and can say I really like it. Though I don't see major improvements, once removed my skin does look brighter, and smoother in a way. It doesn't irritate my skin, nor breaks me out, which is always the factor I'm most scared of.

I picked this up at duty-free as well, and cannot be more happy with this impulse buy! I've gotten many compliments from my female friends about how gorgeous it looks on me, and how natural it is. Basically it's a very easy wearable "nude" tone. I first wanted to get 'Incognito', but that was too brown toned, so I looked very sick. 'Chérie Bow' has a slight pink hue to it, which makes it so easily wearable.

Chanel Correcteur Perfection Concealer '20' | €32
Eh... I kind of feel awkward to say, but yes. Yet again another duty-free purchase, this one from CDG in Paris though! Have been using this one literally everyday. I tried using this as undereye concealer, but though it's alright, I love using my Laura Mercier Undercoverpot for this matter more. I think it depends on what shade you get, as I got the one that matches my skintone more (yellow) it's not as useful for the undereye area. I guess the pink one would do a great job neutralizing the grey/blue tones. It's great for blemishes, redness, or minor imperfections. I would say the finish is rather matte/velvety if that makes sense. Great when opting for a natural look, as the concealer doesn't cake.

MUJI Blotting Papers | €4 (approx.)
I have these for a while now, and have only really used them a lot this month, as I finished my old pack of blotting papers. I didn't expect anything of these, but they have impressed me quite well. It takes the shine away without dragging or removing my make up.

Am loving all the new Hero Arts sets!! Love all of your cards, beautiful.Milo

Karen L K

Wow love all of your cards! That cardinal card that is the outline only of the cardinal with the post card stamps is my favorite. Love it.

Spectacular cards - they are all beautiful! Thanks for sharing !

John K.

Love all of HA products, but really like that cardinal so much! Love their layered stamp sets! Thanks for the chance to win!!

Hi Wanda, you were a busy bee! Sigh, I love them all. Yay for you having your projects in the catalog, you so deserve it. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring.

Kathy Mc

Sending You A Cup of Cheer is my favorite because it's so different than the usual, but all of your cards are beautiful, Wanda.

Karen Page

So many great examples, I can't pick a favorite! All I know is that I'm going to have a hard time limiting my craft budget this month!!!

Summer Braxton

So many wonderful cards. Thank you for sharing.

Lucy Schmidt

The mittens set has me smiling and hoping for snow. I'm a big fan of kraft, so was happy to see it used so effectively. There's not a loser in the bunch. Nicely done!

Mary-Anne V.

Love the Christmas florals on the first two cards and those coffee cups are really really sweet.

Karen O'Keefe

Wow! This blog was inspiring. I especially loved the card using the vintage stamp set (the one with the cardinal and writing in the background). I'll be purchasing that one!

You've been busy. Great Christmas cards made with this release. Love the coffee cups set.

Michele W

Love all your cards! My favorites are the one using the vintage Christmas stamps and the one with the mittens. Thanks for the inspiration!

Karen Viskup

Love your cards!

Monti Gale

I love the little critters, they are so cute.

Gail Plaskiewicz

I love all of your cards! They are so Christmassy and colorful. You even managed to make a cup of coffee look like Christmas1 How cool is that? My favorite is that bird! Everyone that has used it makes it looks so real and I know it's the stamp. I have more wood mounted stamps then clear because clear is a recent thing. I've been stamping since the 70's but really got into it in the 80's and clear stamps weren't invented yet. I used to love a stamp company that has since gone out of business called PSX. No matter which wooden stamps you bought, the images always came out clear and crisp when you inked them up. To me that is a great stamp company and that's how the bird looks. Great job!

Beth Buss

This is my first taste of Xmas cards. I love the whole bunch, but my favorite is from the
Hero Arts coffee set. Such a fun red color for

Brenda Regan

How beautiful! Love the BRIGHT colors used that still represent the season - I love all the samples!

Beautiful ideas for beautiful cards etc. I can see I'll be spending some money!

Lisa Roettger

I love your layouts, especially your use of panels on top of the kraft cardstock. I'm looking forward to getting the coffee cups set.

Jane M

I love your card using that amazing background stamp!

Kathy Carol

I love the Christmas vintage card with the Kraft paper. The use of the Kraft really sends a different feel than if you used red or green!
Repeating the script stamp on the background and on the front layer really ties the card together. Thanks for sharing.

Love all your cards using the new release. Such fun!

Dee Earnshaw

So many gorgeous cards to enjoy. Thank you for the inspiration

Long Nights, Legal Cases, and Nootropics

The following is a post by Eric Balaster a friend of mine, he is the co-founder of Pure Nootropics, where he writes extensively on the subject of nootropics through his company blog.

In the law profession, there is down time contrasted with extreme workloads. Some cases require late hours, clients call late at night needing assistance, and generally the profession can become quite tiresome. A lot of people in the legal profession are moving towards nootropics as a way of handling their stressful and demanding jobs. Nootropics are a special type of compound that help to enhance cognitive abilities. By improving memory, attention, focus, or even reasoning, these smart drugs can help lawyers to handle the rigors of the profession without falling off the edge. What follows is a great overview of nootropics for lawyers looking to improve their performance.

Mental Fatigue Nootropics

There are a lot of people who struggle with issues of mental fatigue, which explains the millions of people who drink coffee on a daily basis. However, there are methods of using coffee and other related stimulants to get a much better effect for your brain.

Caffeine + L-Theanine

If you have ever heard of L-theanine, it is an active agent in green tea that makes it easier for you to calm down and relax. Yet, when paired with caffeine, it actually helps you to avoid getting too jittery and makes it easier to focus on the task at hand. Typically, caffeine can make people too anxious and hyper focused on the wrong things. L-theanine brings you back down to earth so you can function properly and seem a lot sharper.

Modafinil (Provigil)

Speak with your doctor before taking Modafinil, but this is a prescription drug that can be utilized for a higher quality focus and attention than you've ever experienced before. It is far more powerful than caffeine and it will improve your ability to work exponentially. Just make sure that you research the drug beforehand and speak with a doctor to get the best dosage information for you.

CILTeP stands for chemically induced long term potentiation and it is a newer formulation based on studies from 2004. The active ingredients are artichoke extract and forskolin with added acetyl-L-carnitine and L-phenylalanine for protection. Altogether, this makes for a natural substitute for Modafinil, but it should be used with caution just as Modafinil. It will not work for everyone, but it does have a strong effect.

Memory Retention Smart Drugs

There are a few higher quality drugs that pertain to memory that can help any lawyer to remember more legal precedences, landmark cases, and facts. With some of these memory enhancing options, you can easily improve your practice.

This is one of the first nootropics utilized for cognitive enhancement in the early 1970s. Since then, numerous studies have shown just how powerful the drug can be for improving memory in animals and humans. Numerous human trials show that it is an effective drug for improving memory in young college-age students, but also in older individuals who are more memory prone.

A similarly structured drug, aniracetam, is a more potent racetam than piracetam. It was synthesized around the same time, but the low bioavailability makes most of the drug avoid getting metabolized. The little bit that does work will help to provide a stimulant as well as improve your overall cognitive abilities. A lot of people that take aniracetam notice it not only has memory effects, but also improves the ability to feel less anxious and perform under pressure. For lawyers with important trials, this could be the drug of choice. You can buy aniracetam online in the United States without a prescription.

By itself, choline is a great cognitive enhancing substance. It is just a precursor for acetylcholine and thus is very useful in providing the building blocks for the neurotransmitter. It is best to utilize choline with the piracetam or aniracetam for the most effects. The best sources of choline in our diet are typically not utilized, which is why supplementing with alpha GPC or CDP choline is probably a good idea.

Which type of bankruptcy is right for me?

As a New Mexico bankruptcy lawyer, I'm often asked which type of bankruptcy is the best. The real question is which type of bankruptcy is best for the particular individual's situation. Here are a few thoughts about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common because it gives people a fresh start. A Chapter 7 case usually takes between 4 to 6 months to complete from beginning to end. The discharged debts from Chapter 7 bankruptcy are permanently gone.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the second most used type of bankruptcy for individuals. The requirements for a Chapter 13 is that you make payments towards your debts for the next 3-5 years. Filing under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can stop home foreclosure proceedings; although you will still have to make timely mortgage payments that come due during the course of the Chapter 13-bankruptcy plan.

You can use Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings to eliminate a second mortgage while maintaining possession of your home, if your home has declined in value to point where the second mortgage is wholly unsecured (or in other words where the lien holder would receive nothing in foreclosure).

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also used because an individual is in a high income bracket, as higher income individual may not qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy based on the means test. Chapter 13 is also chosen if the individual has a lot of assets or filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the last 8 years.

An attorney can analyze which type of bankruptcy is best for you, or if bankruptcy is necessary in your situation. Be sure to contact a local bankruptcy attorney to assist you with your financial situation.

Battered Woman Syndrome

The following is a post by my law partner Keith Findlay. Keith is an Albuquerque divorce lawyer, that handles various family law issues for clients throughout Albuquerque and New Mexico.

Women have had and do have in parts of the world substantially less power over their lives, are subject to being treated as subhuman, and are
often forced to confront extreme violence in their daily lives. The idea of such conduct at this day in age in the US is met with disbelief and insensitivity over its existence in a civilized world. Such a social reaction can often lead to women not reporting incidents because of lack of support. The issue of violence towards woman and men in a relationship is too real a thing, and should not be ignored.

 In the late 70's, the term “battered woman syndrome” was coined to explain the coping mechanisms of a battered woman and the intense emotions they feel as a result; now the term battered person syndrome is more appropriate, as this syndrome can be found in male victims of domestic violence too. The concepts behind battered person syndrome once were highly debated but now are widely accepted.  Some states have even made them into law.

The three stages in a typical battering relationship:

  1. increased tension due to small problems;
  2. an explosion of violent conduct; and
  3. a cooled down period where the aggressor tries too apologize, makes false promises, and usually denial by the victim of reality of their circumstances.
This cycle of violence results in the victim trying to minimize or deny the batterer’s abuse out of self blame, shame, fear of the aggressor, and often because of a belief the aggressor can and will change. Even when a victim comes forward, the legal system can be a deterrent just by virtue of its daunting nature and procedural challenges. Pursuing relief against the aggressor can be even harder for a victim that has experienced substandard service from police or other local authorities.

There is no specific set of symptoms for a victim of domestic violence that has developed battered person syndrome. Each situation is must be considered contextually. Basically, the premise behind battered person syndrome is that the effects of battering go beyond psychological, sexual, and physical abuse. Victims of domestic violence that have battered person syndrome often take action to minimize the affects of the violence, an example would be covering bruises or other signs of physical abuse. Victims also tend to have or develop low self esteem. Often victims will not press criminal charges against the aggressor; even when charges are filed, some victims fail to follow through with their case for various reasons. Many victims, leave the relationship temporarily only to return to the same abusive relationship. Physiological symptoms are similar to that of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can be far-ranging including a heightened sense of danger; intense emotions of fear, vulnerability, and anger; denial; self-medication with drugs or alcohol; sleeping disorders; and physical symptoms of stress such as chronic fatigue and an impaired immune system.

It is important to understand the effects of fear on a battered woman.  It can cause the victim to deny the battering or retract police reports. Fear can lead to the battered woman avoiding reality and blocking out painful memories. These effects worsen as the abuse becomes more severe.  This can lead to the victim becoming dangerous.

Psychological testing has been used to identify symptoms of BPS and their severity, and assess the credibility of battered women.  All of the psychological tests support Battered woman syndrome being substantially similar to PTSD. It is important to understand this when dealing with such a victim. if you have questions about getting a victim help you should contact an attorney and a doctor. A doctor can provide with advice about how to help the victim, and a New Mexico family law attorney can provide you with advice of how to get the battered woman help.

Maintaining Limited Liability - New Mexico Business Attorneys

You may be in danger of personal liability should you or the business fail to comply with the regulations that pertain to your company's operations.  The following are some key criteria in maintaining limited liability standing. This list is not exhaustive, so if you're looking to form a New Mexico LLC and are concerned about the potential pitfalls, then be sure to contact a New Mexico business lawyer.

Individual Guarantees for Business Obligations

One of the major advantages of organizing an limited liability company is the protection it offers for individual assets.  The managers, members, and officers can be held personally liable for the LLC's obligations and debts in some circumstances, however.  Unless you sign a personal guaranty agreement, a lot of lenders will not offer credit when you begin a company.  Signing such an statement will make you personally liable for the debt or obligation secured.

By taking certain actions you could also take on individual responsibility for the organization's debts or obligations.  An adverse party might be able to “pierce the corporate veil” and make you personally liable for the LLC's obligations if you blend your personal interests or assets with business assets or if you neglect LLC rules and regulations.

In addition to this, it is crucial to diligently review all leases, credit agreements, contracts and equivalent written documents before signing them to be sure that they don't incorporate unseen personal liability representations or indemnification agreements.

Negligence (not to mention willful or intentional torts) might also result in the loss of liability protection for that individual.  If an officer, member, manager, employee or other representative of the Limited Liability Company engages in negligent conduct that hurts someone else they might be determined to be personally liable. Limited Liability Companies should think about carrying liability insurance coverage to safeguard against these types of risks.

Federal Taxes

An Employer Identification Number can be supplied by the Internal Revenue Service when you organize a Limited Liability Company.  Withholding and FICA taxes have to be reported, collected, and paid to the state and federal government as required by law.  The individuals responsible for keeping and paying for these various taxes may be held liable separately from the Limited Liability Company.

Distributions by the Company

Distributions from an LLC to its members are typically disallowed if they would render a company insolvent or when the company's assets are lower than its liabilities. In certain cases, improper distributions may be recovered.  Therefore, it is a smart idea to see whether or not a distribution will be lawful before making one.

Always Use the Entire Company Name for Business Transactions

When conducting business, it is imperative that you use the LLC name precisely as it's specified in the articles of organization.  Accordingly, all letterhead, stationery, receipts, and invoices should be made using the full and genuine LLC name.  A complete title ought to be added beside the signature when signing on behalf of the LLC to make sure that it will be clear the individual is operating as a representative of the Limited Liability Company rather than in his or her individual capacity. If you sign a contract and fail to list your relationship to the LLC near your name in the contract, one could argue that you should be held individually liable as a party to the agreement.

In a similar fashion, if you fail to state your connection with the Limited Liability Company when engaging in banking transactions or signing credit agreements you can be held individually liable for those obligations. The same protocols must be followed when leasing equipment, office space, furniture, vehicles, etc.

Recording and Approving Significant Transactions

Authorization from a manager may be necessary for any important transaction (the operate agreement of the LLC should cover these types of issues). The officers should follow the guidelines of the operating agreement. Alternatively, resolutions could be approved and recorded granting approval. Entering into a financial transaction without the blessing of the LLC might result in individual liability.

This is intended merely as a short overview, and it's certainly not meant to deliver an exclusive checklist of every way a company's limited liability standing could be jeopardized. Never depend on a brief overview on its own when determining the right way to run your company.  If you have any concerns you may want to speak with a business attorney for legal advice.

The Effect of Pre-Existing Injuries on your Personal Injury Claim

Below is an article by Keith Findlay of Baca, Findlay, & Dziak, LLC. Keith handles a variety of legal issues, but focuses heavily in personal injury. If you've been injured, Keith is the right Albuquerque personal injury attorney to help with your case.

The Effect of Pre-Existing Injuries on your Personal Injury Claim

The law does not hold a person responsible for injuries that existed prior to their supposed act of negligence that led to their being liable for such damages. Said another way, if you have a “trick knee” from an old skiing accident and one day you suffer a personal injury due to a treadmill malfunction, you can sue the gym or treadmill manufacturer for your injuries and expenses but you cannot reasonably expect to recover for a surgery to completely repair your previously injured knee. The law will only require that a defendant (or tortfeasor) compensate the plaintiff or injured party for the expenses associated with the injuries that stem directly for their act of negligence.
An area within New Mexico personal injury law that the concept of exclusion of recovery for pre-existing injuries is very active is that of injuries involving soft tissue damage. It is common to have whiplash, back strain and other such soft tissue injuries in car accidents. While injuries such as broken bones are easily attributable to a specific event, soft tissue damage is far more difficult to reliably pin point as far as date of injury is concerned. If the plaintiff in such a case has a documented history of previous neck or back problems, it suddenly becomes far less clear when the specific injury to the neck or back actually took place. This creates significant “wiggle room” for defense lawyers to attempt to minimize the damages attributed to their client.
Naturally, there are varying shades of grey in this concept for attributing liability only for direct injuries caused. If, say, the plaintiff had a history of back problems but had not needed treatment of any kind for many years prior to the event in question the connection between the event and the injury is more clear. However, if the plaintiff had been seeing a doctor regularly for the months immediately preceding the event, then the causation of the back injury is put in question. Perhaps this plaintiff was injured in the car accident, but they are trying to get extra money to treat an injury they had previously suffered.
The issue of pre-existing injuries in personal injury cases can further be muddled if you consider that many people suffering from such soft tissue injuries can go long periods without feeling pain or needing treatment, only to later find that their injury had caused significant degeneration of the tissue and even greater injury, only much delayed. Even if the plaintiff had not been suffering pain or undertaking treatment immediately prior to the accident, it does not mean that they did not have such degenerative tissue problems from their previous injury, and thus, they may not be compensated for injuries to their neck or back. Because the injury pre-existed, even though it had not been treated for years, means that it was not legally “caused” by the event and thus the plaintiff cannot recover for that soft tissue injury.
It can be treated as a general truth that an injured party will not receive full, 100% compensation for damages relating to their complaint if there existed previous injuries or damage because the defendant would no longer be directly and wholly liable. The practical effect of this is that most personal injury cases that involve at least some pre-existing injuries will settle, or even be adjudicated, at a percentage of the total damages suffered by the plaintiff. If you’ve been injured in an accident, of virtually any kind, do not delay. Speak with your local personal injury lawyer about your situation and learn more about your possible recovery/compensation options.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Its been a while since I've posted any new articles, fortunately we've been busy at the law firm but here is an article written by my law partner, Keith Findlay:

As a Albuquerque Criminal Defense Lawyer we are frequently asked what “beyond a reasonable doubt” really means. Essentially, reasonable doubt is the standard of evidence that applies in criminal cases (as opposed to a “preponderance of evidence” standard which is applicable in civil cases).

In order to find someone guilty of criminal charges, the prosecuting side must convince a jury (or judge in certain circumstances) “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the person is guilty of the crime they are charged with. The term “reasonable” gives the evidentiary standard some leeway, as the existence of doubt itself is not enough to get away with the committing of a crime. It has to be doubt in the mind of a reasonable person (i.e. claiming “an alien did it!” would not suffice for a reasonable person). New Mexico statutes defines reasonable doubt as: “a doubt based upon reason and common sense - the kind of doubt that would make a reasonable person hesitate to act in the graver and more important affairs of life.”

Generally speaking, a person charged with assault and battery in both a civil (tort) matter and a criminal matter will have a harder time defending against the civil case because the standard the evidence must satisfy is lower in civil cases; an example of these differing standards in action can be seen in the OJ Simpson murder cases. In the criminal case, he was found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted, but in the civil case he was found liable for the murder and forced to pay the family damages under the preponderance of evidence standard.

The rationale behind this important standard of evidences makes sense as the United States is a country that is premised on the notion of “innocent until proven guilty.” The other important consideration is that with criminal charges the stakes are usually considerably higher because people view life and liberty as inherently more valuable than the money that is commonly at stake in civil legal actions.

Just because the standard of evidence is higher in a criminal case does signify that one should take any criminal charges lightly (because, again, the stakes are so high). I always recommend that someone charged with a crime be sure to discuss their case with a local (as the law can vary from place to place) criminal defense attorney to assure the best representation possible.

New Mexico Probate Change 2012

Albuquerque Probate Lawyer on 2012 Law Change

In a recent article we published something regarding the New Mexico Small Estate Affidavit and how it works in New Mexico. One of the important changes to the New Mexico Probate Code here in 2012 increases the amount that the Estate must be under in order to make use of a Small Estate Affidavit. It used to be $30,000, but that amount has increased to $50,000 for people who die in 2012 or later. This change will make it so that families with small estates will not have be burdened by the expenses associated with probate to transfer items of personal property. Again, a Small Estate Affidavit is a useful tool in being able to wrap up a deceased loved one's affairs, but it cannot be used to transfer real estate.

The fact that the deceased person may have owned property at death does not necessarily mean that a probate proceeding will need to be commenced to transfer that property.  In New Mexico there are several ways that land can be transferred so that probate is not required. A Albuquerque Probate Lawyer can tell you if a particular piece of real estate will have to go through probate to transfer ownership.

Of course the key to avoiding probate is talking to an Albuquerque Estate Planning Attorney, who can help you setup your estate in such a way as to avoid probate. With regard to transferring property, an Estate Attorney can advise you how to do so without having to go through probate. Hiring an estate planning attorney that is local is important because where you die controls part of your property, but with regard to real estate, the property (and mechanisms to pass title of that property) is controlled by the State's laws in which it resides. Good planning will help cut down the costs associated with probate, but often more importantly, good planning can cut down on the time factor that a probate proceeding inherently adds. Some transfers of real estate can be setup to happen automatically, which can be important for the heirs in trying to administrate the deceased person's estate.

Introducing The 8-Foot-Long Plasma TV

By Jamie Sotonoff

An 8-foot-long plasma TV?

That's the size of the Panasonic Professional Plasma 103-inch 1080p HDTV.

To put it in perspective: If the gigantic former NBA star Manute Bol was lying on the couch, it would be a whole foot longer than him.

The monstrous TV is a main attraction to customers at Abt Electronics in Glenview, where it's been in stock since February.

How much does it cost? $69,995.

Kind of rules it out as a Father's Day gift, but shockingly, they've already sold five of them, an Abt representative said.

Panasonic isn't the only electronics company selling 103-inch TVs, but it still ranks as the largest consumer television set currently made.

Need more Namaste?

Yoga-inspired athletic wear is the specialty at Lululemon Athletica, an expanding chain with a store in Oak Brook Center. It's a higher-end retailer - their popular "groove pants" are $92 - but customers love the quality and camaraderie the store provides. The Oak Brook store has complementary yoga classes at 9 a.m. every Saturday, plus monthly events such as "Namaste Saturdays" at the mall.

Lululemon's clothing offers moisture-wicking fabrics and other functional features (hidden pockets, mesh paneling, etc.). The clothes can't be purchased online yet, but phone orders can be taken at (877) 263-9300.

Where have you been?

Has your Dad's life been an interesting journey?

Then a neat Father's Day gift might be a JourneyMarker, a porch decoration that includes personalized directional signs. Add whatever places you want: Wrigley Field, Indiana University, Vietnam or Margaritaville. Prices start at $89 for five mile-markers, and $13 for each additional one. Orders can be placed at

Fashion notes

Between now and June 15, if you purchase a pair of Brighton sunglasses, you'll get a free beach towel. Brighton products are sold at more than a dozen suburban stores. See for a complete list.

A sure sign of spring....

Signs of spring are everywhere around my house:

The peach tree is blossoming.

The air is warm.

And there's a silent auction basket sitting on my dining room table.

I'm not exactly sure why spring and silent auctions go hand-in-hand, but they do!

And much like last year, I am once again making a basket to be auctioned off (though for a different cause this time).

For this one I picked up some plastic wine glasses, a wine opener, and some wine charms at Homegoods....

I put them all in this darling insulated picnic basket.

(Can't you just see yourself using it at a Fourth of July picnic??)

Then I made a cute little tag with my Silhouette...

And finally, I added two bottles of wine.

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the wine (and no, I didn't drink it ;)  but I can assure you that the whole thing looks great all packaged together.

Now I just need to bid on it  ;)

Happy Spring everyone!!

  1. What a wonderful package and lovely for the 4th of July too! :) Happy Spring! xo Holly

  2. awww so cute!! I love those glasses!!

  3. Sounds like a great idea, Elena. I like your no I didn't drink the wine disclaimer...lol. The tag looks great too.

  4. Love this idea! So cute. If I was there, I would bid on it!

    :) Linda

  5. Super cute! I love the idea (and the picnic basket is to die for).

  6. What a sweet auction item. I love that you added a few Elena touches. I am sure it will get some bids!

    And, you certainly know how to keep yourself busy, don't you?

  7. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

  8. How cute! Can I still place a bid? I think I'm feeling inspired to go on a picnic. Maybe even this holiday weekend!!!

Comments let me get to know my readers.

They also make me a do a little happy dance every time I open my email.

Don't you want to be a part of that?

Jimi Hendrix Bio

Jimi HendrixBorn Johnny Allen Hendrix on November 27, 1942, Jimi Hendrix would squeeze a lot of living and a lot of guitar playing into his 27+ years. Today, 35 years after the accidental overdose of "reds" that killed him, he is still considered the greatest rock guitarist of all time.

Self-taught, Hendrix was influenced early on by blues legends like B.B. King and Robert Johnson. As a teenager, he played in some local bands in and around Seattle. After serving a couple years in the Air Force, he found work as a backup guitarist playing for artists like Sam Cooke, Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, The Impressions and King Curtis. He moved to New York City, gained a reputation for his innovative guitar playing, and came to the attention of Animal's bass player Chas Chandler. Chandler, who wanted to get into management, persuaded Hendrix to go to London where he would launch a career as a headline performer.

"Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel" ~ Jimi Hendrix

Chandler hooked Jimi up with a bass player and a drummer, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. Together they formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Almost immediately, they became a hit in the UK. Their debut album, Are You Experienced?, showcased Hendrix's guitar playing and his songwriting artistry as well. Singles from the album, "Hey Joe," The Wind Cries Mary," and "Purple Haze" each became hits. The album was subsequently released in the US with a few changes. The hippies of Hippieland loved it. It was a huge hit.

Though he spent a lot of time in the studio, Hendrix would make only three fully conceived studio albums -- Axis: Bold as Love, the double LP Ladyland, and his tour de force Are You Experienced?

"It's funny how most people love the dead, once you're dead you're made for life." ~ Jimi Hendrix
Jimi's life, musically, financially, and personally, would become a chaotic mess. Contract disputes, lawyers and drugs all became part of the whirlwind. The Experience broke up in 1969 and he formed the Band of Gypsies with drummer Buddy Miles and old Air Force buddy Billy Cox. It was with them that he made an appearance at Woodstock where he laid down his immortal rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. In 1970 the Experience got together again only to break up shortly afterward. At the time of his death, he was working on an album tentatively titled First Ray of the New Rising Sun.

After a lengthy court battle, in July 1995 the rights to Hendrix's estate, including all his recordings, was turned over to his father, Al Hendrix. With the help of Jimi's half-sister Janie Hendrix, they formed Experience LLC. They proved themselves conscientious keepers of Jimi's legacy. Subsequently, Jimi's first three albums were remastered and re-released and compilation albums, drawing from the wealth of recorded material Hendrix left behind, were produced.

"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do." ~ Jimi Hendrix
Recently, Experience Hendrix LLC filed a copyright infringement suit against Trans World Entertainment, the parent company of the FYE retail chain, for allegedly selling the unlicensed CDs "Jimi Hendrix: His Greatest Hits" and "Jimi Hendrix: LA Forum", for which no royalties are paid. The suit demands that Trans World stop selling the CDs, and that any remaining copies be destroyed, as well as damages and attorney's fees.

Said Janie Hendrix, who's now the President and CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC, "We have an obligation to protect Jimi's legacy and these unauthorized, inferior-quality CD releases confuse and disappoint his fans throughout the world. We will continue to make every effort to confront copyright infringement and piracy issues wherever and whenever possible."

Q: Why Don't Creatives Like Working on Property Brochures?

Hitler is one fucked-up agency executive.

This is almost as funny as Hitler gets banned, a homage to his love for the Xbox.

It's great that we've learned to laugh at this icon for human tragedy. But how long before our laughter eases the stigma around the toothbrush mustache? Until an ordinary man can walk about with one, sans persecution, our work is far from done.

See all reviews of Deathstroke (11)

Based on the cover, Deathstroke really ticked off Ra’s Al Ghul, but wait, weren’t they friends last issue?

Deathstroke #20 (DC Comics)

So what’s this book about? The official DC summary reads:

It’s all-out war! Slade Wilson attacks the island stronghold controlled by the mercenary army called “the Dead Bastards,” while his one-time comrade Victor Ruiz leads a lethal strike group from the League of Assassins. But in order to protect his children, Rose and Jericho, Slade may be forced to battle Ra’s al Ghul…to the last killer standing. Will this be the end of Deathstroke?

Why does this book matter?

I was impressed with the art and story last issue as Deathstroke was faced with a pivotal choice: befriend Ra’s or else his kids die. At the same time Deathstroke has to fight through three of his biggest villains. Danger from all sides, what’s not to love!?

Fine, you have my attention. What’s good about it?

Writer James Bonny let’s the action fly once again in this issue and does so with a few surprises up his sleeve. Ra’s may be calling the shots, but when Victor Ruiz attempts to escape, Deathstroke goes full tilt cutting through multiple henchmen and supervillains to get to him. It’s a lot of fun action and damn does Deathstroke not hold back. If you wanted a bit of gore with your Deathstroke you came to the right place.

Once again I’m digging the art by Paolo Pantalena with nice details in costumes, action, and neck veins! There’s somewhat of a manga feel to the issue and it suits the high action and big drama on every page. When Ra’s and Deathstroke fight (no spoiler here folks it’s on the cover!) Ra’s looks like some kind of ancient warrior teacher going up against the soldier like Deathstroke. Who I might add looks fantastic too.

It can’t be perfect can it?

Action drives this entire issue so if you’re looking for anything more you’ve come to the wrong place. The end wraps things up too quickly (a problem a lot of comics have due to the 22 page count), and Ra’s too easily accepts the offer on the table at the end. Does it all make sense? Yeah, more or less, but not enough is developed to make it all feel earned.

Is It Good?

A fitting end to the story arc as Deathstroke delivers the ultra violence. Action fans should pick this up, but anyone looking for more robust character work can skip it.

Deathstroke #20 Review
Lots of gory violence and actionThe actions of the characters all add up but...
...all of it doesn't feel earned

Recording Orchestra and Other Classical Music Ensembles
Richard King

Richard King's new book explores techniques and methodologies specific to recording classical music. Whether a newcomer or a seasoned engineer looking to refine their skills, this book speaks to all levels of expertise and covers every aspect of recording symphonic and concerto repertoire, opera, chamber music, and solo piano. With a focus on the orchestra as an instrument and sound source, this book features sections on how to listen, understanding microphones, concert halls, orchestra seating arrangements, how to set up the monitoring environment, and how to approach recording each section of the orchestra. Recording Orchestra provides concise information on preparing for a recording session, the role of the producer, mixing techniques, and includes a "quick-start" reference guide with suggested setups aimed at helping introduce the reader to the recording process. A companion website, featuring audio examples of various techniques, reinforces concepts discussed throughout the book. The content of the book includes:

Recording Studio Design 4th Edition
Philip Newell

This new edition explains the key principles of successful studio design and construction using the straightforward language and the use of practical examples appreciated by readers of previous editions. Updated to reflect new industry standards, this fourth edition addresses improvements in cinema sound, with specific attention paid to B-chain electroacoustic response and calibration. Using over 50 years’ experience, author Philip Newell provides detail on the practical aspects of recording in various environments, not only exploring the complex issues relating to the acoustics but also providing real-world solutions. While the book touches on performing rooms, control rooms, and mobile studios, concepts of the infrastructures are also discussed, because no studio can perform optimally unless the technical and human requirements are adequately provided. In this new edition, sound for cinema provides a platform for discussing many, wider electroacoustic topics in a way that is relatively easy to visualise. The way in which sound and vision interact is an important aspect of many, modern, multimedia formats. The new edition includes:

·       A new Chapter 22 that will thoroughly reflect recently published SMPTE investigations which will drastically impact standards for cinema sound
·       The inclusion of new academic research and its practical applications.
·       An entire, new, illustrated chapter on room construction principles.
·       The consolidation of ideas which were only emerging when the earlier editions were published.
