For people who have asked us where and how this band came to be, here it is from my perspective.
Marc LaFrance came into my life on November 1st, I had been hearing about this monster singer/drummer since I was in Shama. Marc was touring the prairies of Canada in the middle to late ’s, at the same time as Shama, and was in a band called Crowcuss.
When my band Paradox had started falling apart (Bernie Aubin left to go back to The Headpins), Jeff Neill and I started playing pickup gigs around Vancouver with various drummers just to keep some money coming in. On November 1st, we were asked if Paradox would do the closing sets on the last weekend of the ‘Outlaws’ nightclub in Vancouver. Since we didn’t have a drummer, it was suggested we call Marc LaFrance to play with Jeff and I. It went well… and Marc and I have worked together since that night. (I bought him an engraved picture of a gold watch on our personal 25th anniversary which he hangs in his office) Marc has become one of my closest friends and confidants and handles all business matters for Cease and Desist and Atlantic Crossing. He is able to keep a cool head in times of chaos and his organizational skills are second to none.
Brent Howard Knudsen came into my life in about Ironically the first connection was made on the birth of his first daughter Tammy. Since I was one of the few musicians I knew at that particular time who had kids (or at least kids they acknowledged possibly), I had heard about his daughter being born and brought him a card one night when we were both playing opposing gigs in the same hotel. I was in Trama at the time and was playing the bigger ‘pub side’ of the Caribou Trails Hotel and his band ‘Crisis’ was playing the cabaret side which was called ‘The Backstage Lounge’. In ‘my Trama’ broke up, supposedly for good at the time. Jeff Neill had just left ‘Streetheart’ and he and I formed Paradox. After a few months, Michael Sicoly and Tommy S

Experts say emotional intelligence &#; the ability to read, understand and respond to emotions in ourselves and others &#; is crucial in predicting our health, happiness and success.
It&#;s our emotional intelligence that gives us the ability to read our instinctive feelings and those of others. It also allows us to understand and label emotions as well as express and regulate them, according to Yale University&#;s Marc Brackett.
Most of us would probably like to think that we can do all of the above. We spot and understand emotions in ourselves and others and label them accurately in order to guide our thoughts and actions.
But many of us tend to overestimate our own emotional intelligence, according to Brackett, a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.
That&#;s important because experts say the ability to read, understand and respond to emotions in ourselves and other people is a crucial factor in predicting our health, happiness and personal and professional success.
So maybe we all need to take a breath and invest a little more time in schooling ourselves on what it means to be emotionally intelligent.
What is emotional intelligence?
The theory of emotional intelligence &#; and the term itself &#; originated at Yale and the University of New Hampshire. Peter Salovey, the 23rd president of Yale University, and John &#;Jack&#; Mayer, professor of psychology at the University of New Hampshire, wrote up the theory in , Brackett said.

Experts have continued to build on that framework to refine definitions of what exactly is at the core of of emotional intelligence. &#;Emotional intelligence is being smart about your feelings. It
