The man who made public sexual allegations against Manitoba judge Lori Douglas and her husband late last month has been fired from his job as a computer programmer, said a friend speaking on his behalf.
Alex Chapman, 44, is out of a job at Great-West Life Assurance Co. partly because of sexually explicit photos of the judge that were kept on the laptop he used at work, said Sean Sam, a close friend of Mr. Chapman's.
The news comes just as a second complaint against Judge Douglas is filed in a Winnipeg court. It was formally filed by a woman claiming that the recent scandal involving Judge Douglas made her believe she was not given a fair court hearing.
Mr. Sam says his friend had been collecting files - the sexually explicit photos, e-mails and voice-mails sent to him from his former lawyer Jack King who was allegedly trying to get Mr. Chapman to sleep with his wife, Judge Douglas - on his work computer in a folder called Civil Matter. The files were meant to be evidence for a civil suit he intended to file against Mr. King and Judge Douglas, he said. But on Aug. 16, after Mr. Chapman had gone to the CBC with the story, the computer programmer was brought into a boardroom and questioned by an investigator and someone from human resources.
They asked him about a name change Mr. Chapman made years ago when he came to Canada from the Caribbean. They also asked whether he'd tried to open an offshore bank account with Scotiabank to store "millions of dollars." Mr. Chapman denied all of this, Mr. Sam said.
On Tuesday, Mr. Sam said he was with Mr. Chapman when he phoned Great-West Life's lawyer about returning to work. The lawyer said he was fired and that because of a court order filed last week for Mr. Chapman to return all of the photos and evidence he had, he could not return the disc of materials taken from Mr. Chapman's computer.Report Typo/Error

ZuiderSHAM: Zuiderdam Cruise Review by rwinps
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
Our last cruise was on the Eurodam and it was a great ship with good food and service and this was a deciding factor when looking at Alaska cruises. Our Zuiderdam experience was just the opposite.
First - The ship:
It is very tired and the Lido deck is in bad shape. Light grids are missing from the florescent fixtures leaving rusted fixtures to look at. The floor is gouged, tiles cracked with looking as if holes were punched in them, and Mismatched and worn furniture on the decks. Several light bulbs were burned out the entire cruise.
The buffet area had equipment that kept failing (steam tables, toasters, coffee machines, etc.) and one of the glass "sneeze" guards where entrees are prepared was shattered. Other noticeable items around the ship include torn ceiling panels in the piano bar, the worn wall More coverings in elevators, frayed and worn carpets, scratched brass...I could go on.Fortunately our cabins were in pretty good shape. We were in a superior suite and my parents in a deluxe suite. Baths showed signs of some bad grout and caulking repair and the a/c cover in our room looked as if it had been taped up with the sticky residue left behind. (Wouldn't have notice if it wasn't the first thing I saw when laying on the bed.)
Second - The food:
What happened HAL???!!! Perhaps the main reason we booked on HAL again was my father uses a motorized scooter and isn't always comfortable in the dining room so we take most meals in the Lido. The Lido food on the Eurodam was the best buffet food we've experienced on a ship. The Z'dam Lido food was about the same quality as a Hometown Buffet. Quarter inch "NY Steaks", overcooked inedible pork, and overall just very bland.
We tried the dining room for lunch to see if it was any better and again, very mediocre with one dish (mac & cheese!) inedible. My parents had room service on evening and to quote my mother, "how do you mess up a sandwich?".
Fortunately the Lido Manager (Oscar) was kind enough to get us into the Italian restuarant on two of the nights and the food was good. We also ate in the Pinnacle Grill and it too was very good.
Third - The service:
Our room stewards did a fine job keeping our rooms tidy but I must say the tin garbage cans roped to the front of there service carts had a bit of a cringe factor.
The Lido service started out to be very poor. For the first couple of days, tables weren't cleared, no table side beverage service, silverware and napkins difficult to find, and at times, no staff to be seen. The cook staff seemed to be going thru the motions and would not engage with guests.
Our dining room lunch waiter was very indifferent and quite frankly seemed to be very board with his job. Service was very slow and the room just didn't seem to be as clean as it should have been.
After voicing my opinion on a Facebook post I was contacted by the Guest Relations Manager (Dustin) who was very nice and pleasant. He apparently got on the ship the same day we did and I don't think was fully aware of some of the issues I mentioned. We did notice that after our discussion with him, the Lido service improved greatly. Staff were visible, friendly and very efficient.
Also, the hard sell for spa and shopping became very tiresome.
These are just some of the highlights of our experience but I've said enough.
HAL used to be a very good higher end cruise line but now offers a very generic experience and in our case, on a substandard ship. I guess being owned by Carnival is having an effect.
I know some may feel I'm being a bit anal about what some would call "little things" but HAL used to have a reputation for taking care of the "little things". Unfortunately, the have let some of the "little things" on the Zuiderdam become very big things. Less

Port and Shore Excursions
I inquired about getting my father to town on his motorized scooter and the ship personnel at the end of the gangway couldn't give me any information. I did happen to notice a white van with a lift in the handicap parking area and approached the driver who said she was there to give complimentary rides into town for handicapped passengers.
The town itself is not much to tour and a bit depressing.
To get back to the ship, the regular shuttle bus did have a lift but the driver seemed to not have used it too often...let's just say it ended up being an awkward and a bit embarrassing experience for my dad.
It is a shame that Juneau doesn't do a better job of beautifying this particular dock area and work to better accommodate handicapped people.
Picturesque but very touristy. I did go on the Bear Zip-line trip and it was good but perhaps the price-value relationship wasn't quite there. The rain forest though is spectacular! Would highly recommend that you take some sort of trip to see it in some form.
There are many tour sellers on shore and their pricing seemed to be about the same as the ships. I did note that the Deadliest Catch excursion was sold out at the ship's desk but you could still buy in on the shore.
This is a very charming and picturesque town. We spent a few hours shopping and then took the round trip train ride. It was a beautiful day and the views were spectacular.
It is quite impressive that the train company as tracks to each of the ships docked in port. They are very organized an accommodating.

Mary Allerton
b.16 Jun 1616 Leyden, Holland
d.28 Nov 1699 Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States
Family tree▼
m. 4 Nov 1611
m. 1636
Facts and Events
Mary Allerton Cushman (c. 1616 – 28 November 1699) was a settler of Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. She was the last surviving passenger of the Mayflower. She arrived at Plymouth on the Mayflower when she was about four years old and lived there her entire life; she died aged 83.
Mary Allerton was born about 1616 (according to some sources, baptised in June 1616) in Leiden, The Netherlands to parents Isaac and Mary Norris Allerton. She came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620, at about the age of four. Around 1636, she married Thomas Cushman, who had come to Plymouth in 1621 at the age of thirteen on the ship Fortune with father Robert Cushman, a prominent member of the Pilgrims' congregation in Leiden. Thomas and Mary had a surprisingly prosperous family; seven of their eight children survived to adulthood, got married, and provided at least 50 grandchildren. Thomas and Mary both lived to very old age, having never moved from Plymouth. Thomas died in December 1691, reaching nearly 85 years in age. Mary, who gave birth to and raised eight children, lived to the age of 83. Prior to her death in November 1699, she was the last surviving Mayflower passenger. She was buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth.

Hear My Interview With Jill Gelhausen From the SIC Marathon [Audio]
The third annual Southern Indiana Classic marathon, half marathon and 8k is happening this Saturday, April 14th and the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fairgrounds. And there's so much more to do than just the races. The SIC Marathon's Marketing Director, Jill Gelhausen, stopped by today to talk all about it.

As a concerned citizen and small business owner, I've been watching the fiscal cliff debates play out on cable news. Too often, what I hear carries no economic value, but rather seeks to promote a political agenda. I've become weary of these campaigns of misinformation and mischaracterization and feel compelled to add some Midwestern common sense into the mix.
The unfortunate truth is both political parties have contributed to what is now an enormous national debt. Although the public has allowed it thus far, it's become clear that if action isn't taken to shore up our country's finances, there will be consequences similar to those experienced by Greece.
What you don't hear enough people talking about is the real root of the problem. I'll say it here: Our government spends more money than it takes in. It has for decades and is likely to continue doing so into the future unless we do something to change the system.
Insiders, academics and most of the talking heads on the news try to complicate the problem with all kinds of noise and clutter. They either believe, or want us to believe, that the problem is much more complicated than it really is. They want to increase taxes, saying it's only on the wealthiest 2 percent, but I'm not buying it.
If you don't think you'll be hit with higher taxes, you may also be interested in the bridge I have for sale. If history is any guide, and it often is, they'll spend every penny and more of whatever extra tax revenue they get. And they'll barely scratch the surface of the debt.
As citizens, we need to force the politicians to stop with the scare tactics and class warfare, and wake up to the fact D.C. needs to live within its means. They need to concentrate on spending controls.
While the President likes to say the "responsible" thing to do is increase revenue (a politician's way to say "raise taxes"), I say the opposite. How can giving more of our hard earned money to a bunch of spendaholics be the "responsible thing" to do? To me, that sounds like the least responsible thing to do with our money. We don't have spending problems, but our government does. They just don't seem to get it.
Maybe they need a good healthy dose of common sense from the Midwest.

As college students we're all trying to get prepped for the professional world. As we transition from one social situation to the next we have to make sure to adjust accordingly. So how do you remain fashionable yet professional? This Fashionisto has conquered this task by saying no to dad's frumpy old suit and tie combo, and making the office-ready look work for him. No new young professional wants to enter the office looking as if they fell from their dad's coat closet; after all you want your fresh and innovative ideas to show through your attire. By keeping your professional look modern like this Fashionisto not only are you rebelling against conforming to the drab office look but you're also dressed appropriately for any meeting, office social event and presentation.
This look is great for showing the office oldies that you mean business. The military-inspired jacket is very clean cut and gives this look an edge that would be hard to accomplish with any suit. The slim, slightly white-washed denim jeans like these light washed skinny jeans and loafers comparable to this pair from black and white patterned pair also help to give this look a youthful, modern appeal. The slim fit jean and loafer combination is great for a comfortable, business casual look. This Fashionisto also sports a white collar button-down shirt tucked and secured with a black leather belt or try a colored option like this red leather belt for added flair. It's a look tha's safe yet has enough edge to get your point across. It can stand alone or be paired with a great blazer like this skinny suit jacket.
Hint: Black is a great color to start with but venture out by playing with other office-appropriate colors such as olive, khaki, brown, burgundy or even a modest metallic. Pair your blazer or jacket with a slim-fitting chino or a pair of dark washed jeans and a belt in any appropriate office color to keep the look appealing. This would also be a great time to color block and see how to get the most out of your look.

Learn about tools and other destination-based sales tax information
With passage of Substitute Senate Bill 5089 ("Streamlined Sales Tax"), Washington changed from an origin-based system for local retail sales tax to a destination-based system effective July 1, 2008.
Previously, Washington retailers collected local sales tax based on the jurisdiction from which a product was shipped or delivered - the "origin" of the sale. Presently, they must collect based on the destination of the shipment or delivery - the "destination" of the sale. This only affects shipments and deliveries to locations within Washington State.
Destination-based sales tax applies only to businesses that ship or deliver the goods they sell to locations within Washington. Under the new rules, if a retailer delivers or ships merchandise to a buyer in Washington State, the sales tax is collected based on the rate at the location where the buyer receives or takes possession of the merchandise.
There is no change for deliveries outside the state or over-the-counter sales where customers take home goods from the store location.
If you do not ship or deliver, nothing changes about the way you handle sales tax.
For example, if a buyer receives merchandise at your retail business location, sales tax continues to be based on that location – the "origin" of the sale.
Additionally, this change does not affect:
To help retailers transition to destination-based sales tax, the state Department of Revenue provides web resources, tutorials, and other assistance. In addition, after July 1, 2008, certain small retailers are eligible for up to a $1,000 tax credit (to offset any necessary changes to their accounting, point-of-sale, or other systems) or two years of assistance from a certified service provider (CSP) – a third party that handles the coding and files the sales tax returns for businesses. The credit will be available on the excise tax return, beginning with the July 2008 return.
Learn more about the tax credit/Certified Service Provider assistance.
Examples of how destination-based sales tax works
The legislation signed by Governor Gregoire allows Washington to petition for membership in the national Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA). It is an important step toward encouraging out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax on sales to Washington customers. In this way, SSUTA helps level the playing field for Washington's "brick and mortar" businesses.
Learn more in our Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement questions and answers.
No. Registration in the SSUTA by individual retail businesses is entirely voluntary. There are certain benefits for retail businesses who register with the SSUTA, but you do not have to join.
Destination-based sales tax is part of our state tax code.
This is true whether or not you register your business with the SSUTA.

Election monitors play important role
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
MARCO WERMAN: �Things might have been different in Afghanistan if there were International Monitors �on the ground' during the voting.� That's the gist, at least, of an international pole released today. We get details from The World's Aaron Schacter.
AARON SCHACTER: Worldpublicopinion.org surveyed nearly 17,000 people in seventeen countries. The results show that most people think their countries would benefit from International Election Observers. Steven Kull is Director of Worldpublicopinion.org.
STEVEN KULL: In general, we have been finding that people look to the International community as a source of legitimacy. They would like the United Nations to play a larger role in their domestic affairs, and this includes a substantial number of countries that you might not think would be eager to have election monitors in their country.
SCHACTER: And that includes the U. S. Nearly half of Americans polled said having International Observers monitor elections would be a good thing. Florida's �hanging chads� in the 2000 presidential election might have something to do with that. But Steven Kull says today's study is prompted by election troubles in Iran and Afghanistan. Neither country had a strong International monitoring presence. Iran doesn't welcome monitors, and the security situation in Afghanistan made it nearly impossible for foreigners to reach the most troubled spots. And, the allegations of cheating there continue to mount. Still, some who monitor worldwide elections actually consider Afghanistan something of a �success story.� Pat Merlot heads electoral programs for the National Democratic Institute.
PAT MERLOT: There are a certain number of safeguards that are in place in the Afghan election process--the election administration, on the one hand; the political competitors gaining access and knowledge about the system, so they can create �checks and balances;� and, non-partisan election observers. The last thing on the list, really, is the role of International Observers, because they play a smaller role.
SCHACTER: Merlot says International Monitors might have deterred fraudsters somewhat. There were some 31,000 election observers keeping an eye on things, but almost all of them were Afghans who were loyal to one candidate or another. If there had been more International Monitors, party loyalists might have been less apt to commit what appears to blatant fraud. Election officials have so far thrown out votes from 447 polling stations (about 200,000 ballots) because of fraud. For The World, I'm Aaron Schacter.

Roman, Syro-Palestinian (Samaria?), Snake-Thread Flask, Late 2nd - Early 4th Century A.D.
Snake-thread ornamentation originated in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire in the second half of the second century and its popularity peaked in the first half of the third century. Snake-thread decoration was revived in the second half of the fourth century in the east and in the west near Cologne in modern Germany. Serpentine form trails may vary in thickness, may be the same color as the vessel (usually colorless) or brightly colored (common in the West). Ontario Museum 309, with similar subtle snake-thread ornamentation, is attributed to Samaria, 3rd to early 4th century A.D.AG63814. Snake thread flask, cf. Ontario Museum 309 (for similar ornamentation), 12.4 mm (4 7/8"), Complete and intact, funnel mouth with rolled rim, cylindrical neck, bulbous body, snake-thread ornamentation on the body, flat bottom; from a Florida dealer;
Roman Bronze Vessel Handle, Ornamented With Bacchus and a Panther, c. 1st Century A.D.
The Panther was the companion of Bacchus. The grapevine and its wild barren alter-ego, the toxic ivy plant, were both sacred to him. This handle was once attached to vessel used for serving or drinking wine.AI30971. height 8.0 cm (3"), excellent condition with a nice green patina, bronze vessel handle ornamented with a facing young head of Bacchus wearing an ivy wreath in his long flowing hair, panther skin tied at neck, the curving handle ends with a panther head;
Roman, Bronze Repousse Plaque with Centaur Holding a Bow, Lorica Sqaumata Armor Plate(?), c. 1st - 3rd Century B.C.
Likely used in some legionary application; perhaps as a lorica squamata legionary armor plate segment. AA59779. Roman, bronze repousse, 1.75 x 1.75 inches, c. 1st - 3rd century A.D.; sheet bronze hammered from behind in repousse technique to raise the figure of a centaur holding a bow, remains of two rivet holes where it was attached, tear on body, rare and interesting; from a New Jersey collection;
Roman, Syro-Palestinian, Glass Sprinkler Jug, c. 3rd A.D.
This form is missing from the major references but we know of other examples from the market.AG63811. Sprinkler jug, 10.5 mm (4 1/8"), complete, tiny chip in handle (visible in photo), possibly a small rim repair or just flaked weathering, thick yellowish brown enamel-like weathering, free-blow, yellow-green glass, pyriform body, tubular neck, slight funnel mouth, washer-like constriction at the base of neck, handle attached below rim and below neck, kicked bottom with pontil mark; from a Florida dealer;
Roman, Bronze Patera Handle, c. 1st - 3rd Century A.D.
A patera was a plate used by Roman priests to make sacrificial offerings to the Gods. Paterae were thin and most often have been lost to corrosion leaving only the handle remaining.AL59776. Roman, bronze patera handle, c. 1st - 3rd century A.D., 5.6", heavy fluted handle terminating in a collar from which a ram's head with curled horns emerges; from a New Jersey collection; rare;
Roman, Syro-Palestinian, Fusiform Unguentarium with Iridescence, c. 3rd - 5th Century A.D.
Hayes' Ontario Museum catalog references many similar specimens, noting some are from Beirut. Our example is finer than most examples of similar form, many of which appear to be carelessly made. Hayes' dates the type 5th century or later. Perhaps the finer form indicates ours is earlier.AG63806. Fusiform unguentarium, cf. Ontario Museum 461, complete, intact, much iridescence; 16.5 cm, spindle-shaped long tubular body, upper half is a neck narrowing slightly to folded and flattened rim, small shoulder at center, lower half is a narrow tubular body narrowing to a rounded point; from a Florida dealer;
Roman, Eastern Mediterranean, Glass Bottle, c. 3rd Century A.D.
AG63812. Glass bottle, cf. Ontario Museum 150; 8.3 cm (3 1/4") tall, complete, crack down from rim, toes chipped (will not stand), free-blown, pale green glass, fire rounded rim with projecting roll below, long neck narrowing slightly to bulbous body, base ring of pinched toes, stand not included; from a Florida dealer;
Roman Greece, Barbotine Ware Amphora, 2nd Century A.D.
From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.
Barbotine is French for a ceramic slip, a mixture of clay and water used for decorating pottery. In English the term is used for two different techniques but here we are only concerned with the technique used in the ancient world. Barbotine is piped onto the object much like cakes are decorated with icing, using a quill, horn, or another kind of nozzle. The slip is often a color contrasting with rest of the vessel and forms a design, a pattern, or inscription, that is raised above the main surface. The Egyptians used barbotine decorative designs. Specimens have also been found at Minoan Knossos on the island of Crete.
This example was found near Corinth. The style is certainly related to the Egyptian Barbotine ware but it may have been made in mainland Greece.
AE36060. Barbotine ware amphora, Athenian Agora -, ROM -; 5 � inches high, Collectible condition, buff clay, ovoid body, wide tubular neck, strap handles, horizontal bands on neck, Barbatine rows of leaf shaped decorations on body; reconstructed, one section of rim, a small shoulder and part of one handle restored; rare; $300.00 (�267.00)

ISLANDERS are worried about the state of Canvey's sea defences after finding signs of damage to its seawall.
The 14-mile wall was battered by vicious storms last winter, tearing away concrete slabs and chunks of tar, leaving some parts of it deformed and possibly weakened.
One of the island's leading councillors fears if the Environment Agency doesn't act fast, Canvey could be at risk next time bad weather strikes.
Dave Blackwell, leader of the Canvey Independent Party and Canvey Central ward councillor, urged the agency to take responsibility for the weakened defences and act urgently.
He said: "It looks very strange and certainly needs attention. The wall has almost bubbled up and has taken on a strange form.
"I think the water has got under the brickwork and caused the wall to change shape. The Environment Agency needs to work with the council to ensure the wall is repaired and looked after."
Barry Palmer, 66, committee member of the Friends of Concord Beach group, is also concerned.
He said: "If it is not treated before long, parts of the wall could collapse. Children use the site and they need to be thought of, too."
When the agency repaired the wall in January, large amounts of rubble and potentially dangerous materials were not cleared away by workmen.
It prompted Mr Blackwell to describe some repairs carried out to the seawall as "a disgrace"
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "'We are aware there are concerns over this section of the wall and regularly monitor it for any signs of deterioration.
"The wall is treated to protect it from flood waters.
Should there be any sign of vulnerability, it will be detected during this monitoring.
"All our sea defences are regularly inspected and all defects are reported to our local team, which deals with any problems or issues as they arise."

DRM Issues: Windows Expert Looking to Move to Linux
Security expert Jesper Johansson is planning to remove Windows Media Center from his computer and to install Linux MCE due to frustration with his former employer Microsoft's DRM software.
Prior to moving to Amazon in September 2006, Johansson was Senior Program Manager for security with Microsoft. He publicly vented his frustration with Windows Media Center in his blog referring to the "Blue Screen of DRM Death", or the death of Windows Media Center. Johansson's frustration was triggered by his attempts to get a cable network video system to run on the machine. Shortly after the movie launched, the image was replaced by a blue DRM screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue followed, however, the machine kept on crashing after installing the Internet Explorer update for Microsoft DRM recommended by Microsoft. "Microsofts 'security update' caused a denial of service (DoS)", Johannson states. DRM fanatics made the Microsoft product completely useless, he writes. Johannson views Linux MCE as an alternative. Many users have reacted to his blog entry in the meantime, and shared their experiences with various systems, including MythTV on Ubuntu Linux. Surprised with the vehement responses, Johannson added that he had been satisfied with the Microsoft solution up to this point.

Product DescriptionAnti-Ageing Face Cream 75g
It is possible to help your skin remain young looking? The best methods do not involve creams that temporally plump out lines or creams that temporarily tighten the skin. In fact long term use of these creams may be detrimental. The best way to keep your skin looking young is to moisturise using creams high in anti-oxidants, maintain a healthy lifestyle without smoking, and to minimize sun exposure to healthy levels.
We believe moist, supple skin that is supplied with lots of anti-oxidants is much healthier than skin subjected to acids, temporary plumping agents and chemical line fillers. Our anti-ageing cream is designed to provide healthy ingredients to maintain youthful skin, not short term miracles that might cause damage longer term.
Our Anti-Ageing Cream takes a two step approach to anti-ageing:
- Provide the Oil Balance of Young Skin. Moist and supple skin resists forming lines. The main base of the cream is made from Olive Squalene. Squalene is one of the major components of the skin's own oil (sebum). After our early 20's, or skin starts producing less Squalene. Our Anti-Ageing Cream "tops" up the skin's Squalene to maintain the oil balance of young skin. This helps resists lines forming.
- Supply Anti-Oxidants to the Skin. Many would ask 'Why the fuss about anti-oxidants"?
One part of ageing is caused by "free radical damage". Free radicals are molecules that have become short of an electron. To become stable, free radicals seek out other molecules and can take an electron from them. This can cause cell damage leading to skin ageing, amongst other things. Supplying anti-oxidants to the skin helps mop up these freed radicals. The difficult part is to ensure that the ingredients get deep enough to function.
The star anti-oxidants for this cream are Resveratrol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, both included at the maximum suggested percentage by the supplier. Each are some of most effective and expensive anti-ageing actives available. It is especially effective at preventing and reversing sun damage and results should be seen over the course of a month.
We cannot say too much here, so we encourage everyone to look at the peer-reviewed studies being done on Resveratrol and its protective effects. You can find these studies do by going to www.scholar.google.com and searching under "Resveratrol Skin". This way you have access to the latest science journal information, not the cosmetic companies hype. It can be difficult to understand, but basically it is an important new development for skin that has had sun exposure.
We use the highest quality micronised Resveratrol of 1um size for best absorption and almost 100% purity. We developed (after 6 months of failures) a unique system of ensuring that the concentration we needed stayed stable in the cream. The difficulty of this ingredient is that in good concentrations it tends to make creams unstable. Rather than reduce the concentration, we changed the way we incorporate it within the cream so that we have probably a higher concentration of Resveratrol than any other cream. You will notice this new cream a little thicker as Resveratrol arrives as a very fine powder.
Price. The ingredients for this cream are amoung the most expensive ingredients of any anti-ageing product sold at any price. We have seen creams with similiar quality ingredients retail for more than $250. This is because few consumers are cosmetic chemists, and so are not aware of what makes a good anti-ageing product, and must rely on price and advertising as the only indicator. If you have time to do some research, we believe you will find this to be one of the best possible anti-ageing formulas available, and without the chemicals normally used to fragrance, preserve and add a pleasant skin feel (silicone) in most commercial creams.
If you currently use anti-ageing treatments such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, we strongly suggest not using any skin product in combination with these ingredients due to possible reactions with their acids, or contact the manufacturer of your product for more guidance.
Ingredients:Aqua (H2O's Fancy Name), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera), Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant Based Emulsifying Wax), Squalane (Olive), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Dimethyl Sulfone (MSM Organic Sulphur), Caprylic Capric Triglyceride (Fractioned Coconut Oil), Hydrolysed Milk Protein (For Skin Elasticity), Allantoin (Comfrey Root) Extract, Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt), Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Oil-Soluble Vitamin C), Polygonum Cuspidatum (Japanese Knotweed – Resveratrol), Glyceryl Caprylate (Emollient), Vanilla Plantifolia (Vanilla) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Communis (Pear)Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Extract, Citric Acid (Natural Preservative), Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract
|Aqua (H2O's Fancy Name)
|When we were told that we have to call our purified water "Aqua" we thought they were kidding, but we can't fight bureaucracy. We aren't trying to be fancy, but we do need to call our water "Aqua" sometimes. If we used only oils and actives, the cream would feel hot on the skin as the oils coat the skin and it becomes an occlusive. By making this cream with water, the cream penetrates the skin better which is more moisturising, soothing and cooling
|Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera)
|Aloe Vera is a flowering succulent plant that stores water in enlarged fleshy leaves, stems, or roots. The leaf juice contains many minerals vital to the growth process and healthy function of all the body's systems, and particularly known for its healing and soothing benefits (including skin and oral health!).
|Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant Based Emulsifying Wax)
|Cetearyl alcohol is a Plant-Based Emulsifying Wax emulsified, stabilised and produced from the reduction of plant oils and natural waxes. It's used for combining oil and water.
|Squalane (Olive)
|Olive squalane is produced from olives. Squalane enhances skin elasticity and moisture retention. It is also a unique antioxidant that protects our skin from free-radical damages. Olive squalane's composition is very similar to human sebum (oil) and can penetrate our skin very quickly to help our skin to fight dryness. Squalane is not to be confused with squalene, which is a form of shark liver oil and tends to quickly oxidize when exposed to the air.
|Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
|Olive oil is derived from the ripe olive fruit. It's packed with antioxidants and has a balanced fatty acid composition which restores moisture and nourishment to compromised skin. Olive oil is a great addition to natural and edible skincare.
|Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Oil
|Apricot Seed Oil is a finely textured oil, easily absorbed by the skin without leaving it feeling oily or greasy. It is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature and sensitive skin and helps to soothe inflammation. Apricot Seed Oil is rich in oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids.
|Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil
|Rice Bran Oil is extracted from the outer layer of rice. Rich in anti-oxidants, it is also a skin protectant, rich in gamma-oryzanol helping to replenish your skin. Rice Bran Oil can be an effective substitute for lanolin and can help soothe discomfort. It's a wonderful oil for itchy "alligator" skin.
|Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil
|Grape Seed Oil is a lightly textured oil, excellent for moisturising the skin. It is very high in antioxidants and contains high amounts of vitamin E, vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, and vitamin D.
|Dimethyl Sulfone (MSM Organic Sulphur)
|MSM is an Organic Sulphur compound which is present in every cell of the body. MSM has been proven to be a great skin softener and soothing compound for irritated skin. Often used in many anti-ageing cosmetic applications. It is non-toxic and promotes healthy skin for all types.
|Caprylic Capric Triglyceride (Fractioned Coconut Oil)
|Fractionated Coconut Oil is a blend of coconut oil and glycerine. It's considered an excellent emollient and skin-replenishing ingredient as well as being a great natural stabiliser.
|Hydrolysed Milk Protein (For Skin Elasticity)
|Hydrolysed Milk Protein is one of the most nutrient rich proteins due to its complete amino acid content. Studies have found that milk protein in a cream increased skin elasticity by around 20% compared to the same cream without. Skin elasticity ensures lines and wrinkles are minimised after any movement of the skin. For people with Lactose intolerance this is no problem, however for people that are allergic to Milk Protein itself, this ingredient would not be suitable.
|Allantoin (Comfrey Root Extract)
|Comfrey Root has long been associated with soft, healthy skin. Allantoin is a skin conditioner that has been purified from comfrey. A soothing and non-irritating ingredient, Allantoin is thought to help maintain healthy skin by encouraging the removal of dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of healthy skin tissue.
|Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt)
|Piroctone Olamine is an organic compound. It is a non-irritating anti-yeast ingredient which helps keep the cream free from bacteria and mould
|Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Oil-Soluble Vitamin C)
|Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is an oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. It's a powerful antioxidant that slows the rate of free-radical damage (free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.) Studies have shown Vitamin C to stimulate collagen production as well as tone and brighten the skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (the production of pigment) thereby promoting a more even skin tone. This form of Vitamin C is absorbed by the skin very easily and is well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin types.
|Polygonum Cuspidatum (Japanese Knotweed – Resveratrol)
|Japanese Knotweed is an excellent source of Resveratrol. Resveratrol is an effective anti-oxidant which may be an important additive to skin products to reduce the risks of skin cancer, and help prevent the skins natural sebum from oxidising.
|Glyceryl Caprylate (Emollient)
|Glyceryl Caprylate is an emollient, which has an excellent efficacy against bacteria and yeast and as such makes a great natural preservative for skin care.
|Vanilla Plantifolia (Vanilla) Fruit Extract
|Vanilla extract is used primarily as a sweet fragrance. Vanilla has some antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin firming properties. We use hops to preserve our cream and Vanilla combines well with the hops and other fruit extracts to keep our creams smelling nice.
|Pyrus Communis (Pear) Extract
|We've learned over the years that although Essential Oils can be great for some people, some are highly sensitive to them. For this reason, we tend to avoid them in our creams. We still want them to smell nice, so we've added a Pear extract which blends with the ingredients to smell great!
|Pyrus Malus (Apple) Extract
|Pyrus Malus (Apple) Extract contains a high level of Vitamin C, and a wide array of beneficial trace minerals. It also does smell amazing, so we put in some of our creams as it combines well with the Hops Extract (our natural preservative).
|Citric Acid (Natural Preservative)
|Citric Acid is a weak fruit acid used as a fruit based pH Balancer, and a natural preservative.
|Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)
|Natural Vitamin E can be sourced from a variety of plants and seeds, as they are common natural compounds. It has up to twice the bioavailability of synthetic forms. Vitamin E has antioxidant action as well as free radical scavenger properties, and in-depth studies from diversified medical fields have shown that this can slow the aging process. We use the more expensive, natural Vitamin E in our creams, not synthetic.
|Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract
|Skin Care needs to stay pure from yeast and mould. That is why ingredients like Parabens etc are used by a lot of companies. These work great at achieving their aim, but a lot of our "customers"prefer products without parabens. We worked for over a year to develop a preservation system based on Hops Extract. All our creams have now been checked for preservative efficacy using the British Pharmacopeia test. We are very proud that we are probably one of the first companies to develop this natural and edible anti-bacterial system into our creams.
One of my wonderful friends gave me a hamper this Christmas with MooGoo Udder Cream and a cake of soap, she purchased these from a little store in Balhanna in the Adelaide Hills, she knew nothing about the product however because I live on a farm the Cow pictures sold her, since using these products I have not had a spot of eczema since.
I searched our town Mount Gambier to stock up when I started getting low & couldnt find it anywhere our town motto is to 'Shop Local First', I went online to order more and I was so happy with how quickly I received my package and the wonderful sample enclosed. Keep up the fantastic customer service and products, finally no hidden chemicals or cortisone creams ...... I am what you would say an accidental over the moon happy client who will be letting everyone know of your product. Thank you very much.
Carolyn, SA
I have worked in the health and beauty industry for 12 years (health stores, pharmacies and department stores) and am obsessed with everything to do with skin. I've recently been reading a lot of studies on reservatrol and how great it is for the skin but thus far have only found it in supplements . . . .i am beside myself with excitement that your anti ageing cream has this amazing ingredient!
So you can imagine my disappointment when i went to my local supplier to discover the only stock they had on the shelf was the pre reservatrol kind. Is the new stock in circulation? I'm very keen to get my hands on some!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

MY SON THE WAITER Extends Through 7/20 at Lyceum Theatre
Audiences and critics are loving comedian and actor Brad Zimmerman's hilarious, poignant and inspirational story "My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy." The one man show has been extended at the Lyceum Theatre at Horton Plaza till July 20.
Produced by the same group behind "My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm In Therapy," "RESPECT: A Musical Journey of Women" and "Old Jews Telling Jokes," Zimmerman's story combines his training as an actor with years on the standup comedy circuit. This hybrid play weaves a bittersweet tale of one man's lengthy - and we do mean lengthy - struggle in New York. His send-ups on his family, career, childhood and misbegotten love life are as warm and poignant as they are hysterical.
As an added bonus, the producers are inviting any San Diego waiter or waitress to see the show for free. Part inspiration, part promotion, their goal of getting 500 waiters to see the show can be tracked at www.500waiters.com and our Facebook page. The website and Facebook page contain details about how individuals or restaurants can apply for tickets.
West Coast audiences not familiar with Zimmerman can take it from comedy icon Joan Rivers who said, "I've had three great opening acts in my lifetime: Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling and Brad Zimmerman.
"What makes audiences connect with this story is that it's true," the 58-year-old Zimmerman said. "I really had to struggle as a waiter until I was in my mid-50s." For Zimmerman, it's been worth the wait as the show is being seen by audiences nationwide. His career now includes opening for the late George Carlin and being Ms Rivers' opening act going on eight years. He's also worked with Dennis Miller, Julio Iglasias and Brad Garrett, and he played Johnny Sack's lawyer in "The Sopranos."
The show has generated much buzz while delivering an inspirational message: if you can find something in your life that you truly love, that gives your life meaning, then don't give up. It can make for a meaningful and rich life, no matter the when or what the outcome. "My Son the Waiter" is a performance for anyone who aspires to get the most out of their talents and is willing to stay the course.
If you've ever longed for something; if you ever desired it with all your heart; if you were willing to wait tables for 29 years to pursue your dream, My Son the Waiter will give meaning to your life!

Katie Walker is the undisputed ruler of the cheese slope. Give her a random pile of them and the odd handful of 1×1 plates, tiles or bricks and awesome things start to happen. You have to check out her latest. I keep thinking that she is going to run out of new techniques or ideas but it ain't happening.

Do a barrel roll!
Alexandre Bigeard's (V1lain) Starfox Arwing makes me just want to say that.
Nice Figure
I never thought I'd see a space ship with a slim waist, but the Feros by Stijn (Red Spacecat) is just that. This thing is all smooth curves, synched in by a belt (in this case the bridge) in the center. He's scattered a few interesting details throughout, which stand out starkly against the otherwise smooth figure.
As always, Stijn goes the extra mile in photoshop to bring us a nice presentation, as well.
Mark Kelso faces down the Eye of Chaos
We don't normally feature works-in-progress here on TBB, but Mark Kelso has been working on his next massive SHIP, and this photo captures the inevitable frustration of designing and building a large-scale LEGO model that we have to share. It's also nice to see the LEGO workspace of one of our favorite builders.
Mark says, "After the first wing section slipped off the SHIP and crashed to the ground for a second time, I realized another solution was going to be necessarry."
Don't worry — Mark didn't actually smash his next masterpiece, so we'll look forward to featuring the finished model here when it's done.
This ain't your Mummy's Sewing Machine.
This is Monster's Machine and don't you forget it. I can't say that I would fancy wearing clothes made from mummy wrappings, but to each their own. Matt has really been turning out the creations lately and I'm loving it.
Opalite-class H-17 cargo freighter
I love a good micro freighter. I can just imagine all the interesting things being carted around the galaxy. Lazer Blade uses pattern repetition and a wide variety of colors for the cargo containers to make a potentially boring freighter really rather awesome. My favorite detail is the ship number in red and gray near the back.
Hat tip to Evan B. for the suggestion (and photo editing, apparently).
Ma.K NPU
It took me a few seconds to recognize a Lego part on Adrian Florea's newest creation. Either I'm a noob or Adrian used some really obscure pieces to good effect. The only non-purist element is a painted canopy.
Ridin' the Big Thunder
I admit to being a sucker for Disney; I was 23 when I made my first trip. There's a certain joy in seeing Mainstreet USA for the first time.
So with that in mind, this creation by Fat Tony brings me to that point, of being at Disney for the first time, and the sheer joy of riding the rides and seeing that magic.
More shots on this glorious creation, check out the flickr gallery!
Light-up Lego Tron lightcycle
Jared Burks (Kaminoan) used EL wires to light up a Tron lightcycle designed by Ewok in Disguise. The minifigure uses custom decals designed by the master customizer himself.
It's all just a facade
Chris McVeigh gives us this wearable self-portrait. It is always amazing to me what a top-notch builder can accomplish with so little.
Also via The Living Brick
LEGO Pineapple Grenade
This pineapple grenade by Nick Jensen is truly a blast. I have a thing for 1:1 Lego weapons and this one is a beauty. I don't think I've ever commented on the fine, good looks of a grenade but there is a first time for everything.
Seen on The Living Brick.
Happy Camper
Nathan Proudlove hits the road with this lovely, yellow Dodge A100. This smooth build and excellent use of parts are just what we except from Mr. Proudlove!

Many people like to sit back and analyze the best conferences in college basketball. It is always a fun discussion when media members and fans debate this topic.
When I break it down, I see the Big East as numero uno. Bob Knight and I recently agreed that from top to bottom, the Big East is very skilled and incredibly deep. You really have to lace 'em up every night in league play.
If you don't believe me, look at what happened over the weekend. Connecticut took on one of the premier teams in America, the Longhorns of Texas. The Huskies had been struggling in recent weeks (before beating St. John's), but Jerome Dyson, Stanley Robinson and Kemba Walker showed they could beat anybody on any given day when they tap into their potential.
West Virginia took on a rejuvenated Ohio State squad which has All-Solid Gold candidate Evan Turner back in its lineup. Bob Huggins wanted this game badly and the Mountaineers got another big W.
What separates the Big East from every other conference is the strength up top. I feel there are six teams from that league capable of beating anybody on any given night on a neutral floor. I am talking about Syracuse, Villanova, Connecticut, West Virginia, Georgetown and Pittsburgh. The Orange and Wildcats have been dominant heavyweights in the conference and they may be heading for a showdown on February 23rd with the guys from Gameday in attendance. The Big East title could be at stake.
I am sorry that I won't be at the Carrier Dome that night. I will eat my heart out, though I know I will have fun sharing time with all of the wonderful fans at "ESPN-The Weekend" down at Disney. I will be running to the TV to catch Dan Shulman, Bob Knight and Jay Bilas calling that game.
From top to bottom, the depth is unreal. I have not even mentioned Louisville, Cincinnati or Notre Dame. They are capable of being very dangerous, and even a team like Seton Hall has the potential to upset numerous teams.
The VBDI (Vitale Bald Dome Index) has come through. The number one conference in America is the Big East. Challenge me if you like. I respect your opinions and I will listen. But I firmly believe in the facts and John Marinatto's conference should be dancing with joy. It is the best; awesome, baby with a capital A!

Grigor Dimitrov upset 11th seed Milos Raonic 6-3 3-6 6-4 7-6(10) in an 156-minute Australian Open thriller on Saturday to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time.
Famous more for being the boyfriend of Maria Sharapova, the 22nd ranked 22-year-old Bulgarian has long been identified as a rising talent in men's tennis but previously flattered to deceive on the game's biggest stages.
In the Margaret Court Arena bearpit on Saturday, though, he held his nerve through the tightest of fourth set tiebreaks to seal the victory on his fifth match point when Canadian Raonic netted a forehand.
The man once nicknamed "Baby Fed" for the similarity in his playing style to Roger Federer will next face world number 62 Roberto Bautista for a place in the quarter-finals after the Spaniard beat Benoit Paire 6-2 6-1 6-4.

Rounding out the team is IDOL veteran Randy Jackson, who will lend his industry and IDOL expertise to the contestants as an in-house mentor. Once again, the team will be led by Emmy Award-nominated host Ryan Seacrest, who has guided the IDOL contestants and judges through each season's incredible journey.
Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, FOX Broadcasting Company said, "AMERICAN IDOL has always been about discovering the next singing superstar, and next season our judging panel will deliver a most impressive combination of talent, wisdom and personality to do just that: Jennifer Lopez, the triple-threat global superstar who loves IDOL and whom IDOL fans love; Harry Connick, Jr., a bona-fide musical genius and fantastic IDOL mentor whose honesty and expertise can help turn these hopefuls into stars; Keith Urban, a multi-Grammy-winning artist who was such a positive force on the show last season.

text: Akin to the tale of David and Goliath, a small spider in Israel can take down a giant ant four times its size. But how does Zodarion cyrenaicum, which doesn't grow much larger than a pinhead, manage to pull off such a feat? Researchers studying its tactics found that the full-grown arachnid works alone, attacking fast from behind with a venomous bite, and then retreats to safety until the poison kicks in. Young spiders demonstrate the same poisonous chomp, but instead of evacuating, they're small enough to just cling to the backside of the ant until it goes limp. The findings are published in the journal Naturwissenschaften.

In 1982 the Czech violinist Jana Vlachová founded the Vlach Quartet of Prague (Vlachovo kvarteto Praha), but the ensemble's history goes back to 1949, when Vlachová's father—the important violinist, conductor, and teacher Josef Vlach—founded the original Vlach Quartet with musicians from the Czech Chamber Orchestra. In the decades that followed until 1975, the quartet made a significant contribution to the history of interpreting the Classical and Czech literature for string quartet, in both concerts and recordings. The characteristic, astonishingly faithful, powerful, and rhythmically solid playing of the quartet, whose membership changed over the years, was praised and admired internationally. The New Vlach Quartet (Nové Vlachovo kvarteto), as the new group initially called itself, was soon—thanks to the active support and sage advice of Josef Vlach, the father, mentor, and source of their name—able to pick up the thread of the great Czech tradition of the first generation of founders, establish an unmistakably individual tone and sound, and expand the repertoire they had inherited in every direction, in terms of both geography and period. Following a master course with the renowned Melos Quartett, their teachers gave their young colleagues the strongest possible recommendations: "Jana Vlachová, the quartet's first violinist, radiates a special charisma; she casts her spell on the listeners and inspires the ensemble to play in perfect harmony. This homogeneity is strengthened by the masterly performance of the middle voices and ideally supplemented by cellist Mikael Ericsson."
In 1983 Jana Vlachová and her fellow musicians were awarded the prize for the best interpretation of a contemporary Czech composition in the Czech String Quartet Competition in Kromĕříž; in 1985 they received an award as the best string quartet among the European competition at the International String Quartet Competition in Portsmouth, England; in 1991 the prize of the Czech Chamber Music Association followed; in 1992 they received the prize of the Czech Music Fund for a CD with string quartets by Smetana ("From My Life") and Janáček ("Intimate Letters"). In 1995 the Vlach Quartet Prag began a long-term project with the Naxos label to record the complete chamber music of Antonín Dvořák. Following the release of the String Quartets in F Minor, Op. 9, and in A Minor, Op. 16, the British magazine Gramophone wrote that this CD was all but obligatory for any curious fan of Dvořák. In October 2000 the Vlach Quartet Prague and the clarinetist Dieter Klöcker received one of the coveted annual prizes from the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik for their cpo recording of Esquisses Hébraïques: Clarinet Quintets on Jewish Themes. The text of the award certificate explained the choice as follows: "Klöcker and the phenomenal Vlach Quartet Prague manage in almost breathtaking fashion to bring this entire unique musical cosmos to life. A riveting musical event from the first note to the last!"
The Vlach Quartet Prague performs concerts throughout Europe that have been broadcast by the Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Südwestrundfunk, Danmarks Radio, and Radio France; Czech Television devoted a film documentation to the Vlach Quartet, both old and new. In addition to successful appearances in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Luxembourg, the quartet has toured in the United States, New Zealand, and Japan—their debut concert in Japan was broadcast by NHK, the country's largest television station. In 1997 the Vlach Quartet was quartet in residence in the Japanese university town Gifu. Their first concert in New York in July 2004 was praised in a review titled "Vlach Magic" in the specialist journal The Strad as one of the "musical highlights" of the season. The Vlach Quartet Prague was said to be among the world's finest quartets: "The players' tonal blend and intonation seem close to perfection, and while their sound is as smooth as glass, it's never hard or glaring." Following their Californian debut in February 2005 the Los Angeles Times raved about the "legendary Central European style and passionate, dark, rich sound" of the Vlach Quartet Prague: "Unique national features of a culture of performance survive in a inexorably united world." In their interpretation of the G-Major Quartet, Op. 106, by Antonín Dvořák the four musicians were said to have painted a "huge symphonic landscape."
In 2004 the Vlach Quartet Prague as Quartet-in-Residence in Schengen, Luxembourg.
Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana, Leoš Janáček, and Bohuslav Martinů—the pioneering Czech composers are naturally the focus of the Vlach Quartet Prague's concerts and radio and CD recordings. And of course the classics of the history of the string quartet as well: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and on to Bartók and Shostakovich. But the quartet's programs also include many surprises, rarities, finds, and discoveries, such as the string quartets of Arriaga, Fernström, and Fuchs. With musician friends such as the cellist Maria Kliegel, the pianists Jenö Jandó, Ivan Klánský and Helena Suchárová, the clarinetists Eduard Brunner and Dieter Klöcker, the guitarist Maximilian Mangold, Vlach Quartet places quartets and quintets in various arrangements and enrich their repertoire with rarely performed chamber music works. The Vlach Quartet Prague also headed courses in interpretation at universities in Ingesund and Gothenburg, Sweden and master classes in several high schools in USA and Japan.
In spring 2009 was VQP invited from the Palacio Real in Madrid to play a concert on the famous collection of Stradivari instruments.

London • Ryanair Holdings lifted its fiscal full-year profit goal after saying first-quarter profit more than doubled as it filled more seats and benefited from strong Easter travel.
Profit after tax for the year through March 2015 probably will be $833 million to $871 million, an increase from a previous guidance of $780 million to $833 million, the Dublin-based airline said Monday. Profit after tax for the three months ended June 30 more than doubled to $265 million from $105 million, as sales increased 11 percent to almost $2 billion.
Europe's biggest discount carrier has forecast a return to growth this year after the first profit decline in five years, as it refines its no-frills approach to draw business passengers, older travelers and families in a bid to fly more people. Measures include allocated seating, reduced bag charges and a simplified website. Full-year traffic will grow about 5 percent to 86 million people, helping the airline raise its full-year profit guidance, Ryanair said.

I've been on a health focused journey for the past year, hiking and running and being outdoors as often as possible. Amazed to find out that I can run, although I'm certain that I am the most inelegant runner in the world. I have had good and bad relationships and I wish to find someone who appreciates kindness in others and who can find it in herself to just be... nice..
Reading books about Photoshop, trying to come to grips with that program. So exciting, I know
