Happy Holidays from TORONTO-LIME.com

Happy Holidays everyone,

At the end of each year I attempt to thank everyone for their contributions and support for the past year, and each year I leave out many of you. Now that list has grown ten-fold and I will not attempt to start listing people off. My New Years resolution is to show my appreciation and say thanks whenever I can in 2008. For all you that I did not get a chance to say thanks to throughtout 2007, may I say THANK YOU!

Thank you for the tremendous support throughout 2007 and the previous years. Rest assured, you can certainly look forward to much more in 2008.

In the meantime, keep loggin-on and enjoy the Christmas music while taking in some ham, pastelle, blackcake, sorrel, and ginger beer *lol*

Most of all, please remember to be safe and drink responsibly. "Do you know when it's safe to drive?" Here's a little article I came across on the BBC news I think is a good read for all... see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7147803.stm

Be safe and hope to see more of you all personally in 2008. Seasons greetings to you this holiday season and may 2K8 be your year to shine!

Merry Christmas & A HAPPY New Year!!

Bless,

JEF

President / Director

Nurse Karen Celebrates Two Years On-the-Air

Toronto, ON - Monday December 3rd, 2007 - The fun-loving source for all that is new in the world of soca celebrated two years on the radio on Sunday. Known to listeners as Nurse Karen, entertainment journalist Karen L. Richardson offers a light-hearted look at the devolopment of the soca genre on Flow 93.5 FM's Soca Therapy. "Dr. Jay's Rounds" was first conceptualized in August, 2005 when Richardson had just graduated journalism school. The idea was immediately pitched to 2-time SAO International Soca DJ of the year Dr. Jay and given the okay by Flow three months later.

Karen L. Richardson received her Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of King's College in 2005. She has since worked in radio television and print. Online she has contributed to Toronto-Lime.com, Boom-Tribe.com and WeMagOnline.com. She got her earliest experience working with The Vincentian, the oldest publication in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Always an avid lover of arts and entertainment, Richardson is a well-known spoken word performer. In 2004, she published and edited T-Dot Griots: An Anthology of Toronto's Black Storytellers with Steven Green.

To mark the special anniversary, Richardson is launching the (Nurse) Karen (Etc) blog. The site offers The Rounds to an international online audence that may not be able to catch her on-air each Sunday. "Ever since I started the Nurse Karen character, artists have been asking me to send them updates of what I say on air. I'm looking forward to providing a way for industry personalities to subscribe and track their press. I really can't wait to interact with the listeners. It should be fun to hear their opinions on the news I cover," said Richardson.

(Nurse) Karen (Etc) will be updated weekly with The Rounds scripts, and Richardson promises more! Readers can log on for special music reviews and carnival recaps, plus artist photos and video from Richardson's travels.
