Tribune Staff Reporter
WITH this year's Junkanoo Carnival three months away, Bahamas National Festival Commission officials yesterday could not say how much money has been budgeted for the upcoming event.
At a press conference yesterday, Noelle Nicholls, Bahamas National Festival Commission (BNFC) marketing consultant, said that information will be provided at a later date by "regular press briefings" to address all aspects of the event, including cost savings, budgeting, and the BNFC's international marketing campaign.
She also said the BNFC is working "very closely" with the Ministry of Tourism to create a sound international marketing campaign for the upcoming event.
The government budgeted $9m for the inaugural Junkanoo Carnival, but due to cost overruns and other failures on the part of the commission, that spending ballooned to $11.3m. Last year, the government reaped $8.3m in combined direct and tax revenues, with the latter providing $6.7m of that sum.
The commission subsequently faced strong criticism for going over-budget, lack of proper planning, not enough international marketing and not announcing a headliner for the festival's concert sooner.
In January, Tourism Minister Obie Wilchcombe said that this year's festival would be more structured, better budgeted and constructed in such a way as to guarantee a solid return on investment. BNFC officials have also said this year's event will cost less than what was spent in 2015.
However, some persons, like Free National Movement Deputy Leader Peter Turnquest, have suggested that the BNFC hasn't learned anything from last year's festival and are "back to making the same mistakes" with regards to budgeting and marketing.
When asked yesterday for an update on the budget of this year's festival, Ms Nicholls said: "We're going to have regular press briefings to address all aspects of the festival. And so in the same way we're going to be speaking specifically to the international marketing campaign, we'll also be speaking to some of the things that we're going to be doing differently, whether it's from a budgeting point of view and some of the cost savings and all of that.
"So we're definitely going to be providing the media with a list of all of those scheduled briefings so that we can speak to those issues."
When questioned on what the BNFC is doing to enhance its marketing campaign, Ms Nicholls said: "We're actually going to be having a dedicated press conference. The commission is working with the Ministry of Tourism very closely, things are active. We're going to have regular press briefings, including a dedicated press conference where we will have persons from the sales team at the Ministry of Tourism, persons who handle their international digital advertising, so that we can inform you of all of our plans as it relates to the international marketing."
The BNFC announced yesterday that Bahamian artist Julien "Believe" Thompson is to be the music producer for this year's Music Master's song competition, a contest where Bahamian musicians submit their songs in hopes of being crowned Music Master's champion of Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival.
Mr Thompson will be tasked with ensuring that every song prepared and submitted by local artists can compete with "any other song you hear internationally," officials said.
"It is indeed a privilege as a young Bahamian musician and artist and songwriter to have such a prestigious post," Mr Thompson said. "I feel it's important to start the process, at a young age, of handing the baton over and being able to share my gift with my other Bahamian brothers and sisters. And so far it's been an amazing experience."
The second Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival will take place on May 5-7 in New Providence, with a kick-off event from April 15-16 in Grand Bahama, officials have said.
According to the BNFC, "intense planning is underway" for the 2016 event, which the group has said will be "even better" than the inaugural festival.
The BNFC held its first planning meeting for carnival in mid-January.
At the time, Mr Wilchcombe said the BNFC had been mandated by Prime Minister Perry Christie to create opportunities for entrepreneurship and cultural expression.

Please slap everyone in the Gov't for this. It should have never happened again after the inaugural FAILURE. This time round, thing look like it dun fail in the planning stage.
They had a whole year to develop a strategy and a plan. From long time they should have been setting up the stage acts, vendors, ADs FOR TOURIST (the whole argument of why this thing even exists).
Instead it's a next half azzed bunch a non-sense. Three months and no budget, not act schedule, and internationally, EIN NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS THING IN THE BAHAMAS!!!!
MORE Tourist know about Junkanoo and Regatta than this fool!!!! and the lack of planning (translating into the lack of advertising) will keep Tourist ignorant of this supposed cultural event.
The PRIORITIES SEEM CLEAR TO ME. Set up ya nice kick back, "mis-allocate" a bunch of the UNKNOWN FUNDS allocated to this event into personal pockets, and laugh all the way to the bank as y'all tell we y'all need more Loans for hurricane relief, road works, developments etc etc etc etc.
Seriously, this is so criminal. Any a y'all go jump up at dis thing just know you are celebrating Bahamian oppression!!!! HAVE FUN!

How can you plan an event without a budget? The answer is that you can't unless you plan to waste and pour money down the drain.

With less than 2 months to go, the Carnival committee has not put in place even an iota of organization or publicity. They complain that there were very few foreign visitors at last year's Carnival, yet haven't put out advertising or marketing to bring those visitors in. When will they do this -- a week or two beforehand?
Why would tourists want to come for Carnival is we can't even get our growing crime rate under control?
Once again, more wastage of money, more kickbacks and vanishing money. And for what -- a naked hustlers parade and a few ill-attended concerts. And let's not forget the fiasco of having to pay back vendors for their losses!
So much more could be done with the money -- hurricane relief, reducing crime, establishing more social and work programs, reducing the ever-growing national debt -- all so much more worthy than a feel-good Carnival in such dire and dangerous times.

Who are the complete failures who are supposed to be planning and running this event. If they had ANY idea what they where doing they would have started planning and organizing from the very day after last years event. What fool would think you could start planing an event of this size three months prior with NO budget? Only a government entity would be so lost/clueless/disorganized/out of their depth. Once again our FAILURE of a government is showing the people exactly why they are unfit to govern. Once again the Bahamian people's money will be flushed down the toilet with a few loyal PLP's the only winners. When Oh when will my Bahamas wake up to the ABUSE this government is dishing out?
Emac 4 years, 1 month ago
I keep telling yall this carnival thing just a front for the PLP to throw a lavish party on the house(the public purse) If they had canceled it this year, it would be admitting that they were wrong in the first place, in regards to this event being successful. Further, next year's carnival will even be greater and will culminate into election fever. Trust me, the PLP gat a bag of tricks that they keep pulling out to fool gullible Bahamians.

Comrades remember my pre Carnival 2015 posts that question the original plan in the budget to build designer Outhouses. Oh yes, it may have since been shredded but there really existed the artist's conception of what the toilets would look like - taxpayers paid for at that too. Not a single member of the official opposition, talk or communications media, ever asked the PLP Cabinet, if this was true. I wonder, why that was?
MonkeeDoo 4 years, 1 month ago
Tal: There is no opposition. There is more opposition to the PLP expressed in these blogs than is expressed in the HOA. That is some sad shit. If the bloggers here could run under their blog names, we could change the whole shebang in the house and have good governance till us bloggers were no longer equal with the rest of the population but were MORE Equal. In fact the Tribune should organize a meet and greet cocktail reception for its bloogers and one would have access simply by connecting your real name and blog name.

Any event of this magnitude requires a precise budget to be decided months in advance or how else can you apportion the funds to different sectors of the Carnival. Politicians should never be in charge of any business venture that involves making a profit, they just don't care when it comes down to the finer points.

The trouble is that they do care and make sure their friends family and lovers get what they want them to get. Politicians are not in it for the taxpayers they are in it for themselves and who they want.

Today I did something I'd never done before. I rode a mountain bike on a genuine, suitable for mountain bikes and billy goats, rugged as hell mountain bike trail!
It was a blast.
It also kicked my ass. I worked harder in 90 minutes to go a bare 4 miles than I have in the past going 15-20 miles in the same amount of time. Here's a link to the GPS track of my ride; you can click the play button to see the ride animated.
Now, prior to today, I had ridden my (birthday/Christmas present) Trek Cobia mt. bike about 50 miles on local gravel roads. I had not, on any bike at all, ever ridden the type of trail I rode today.
I loved it.
This wasn't a casual, steady peddling, crank out the miles ride. No, this was seemingly straight down runs, over rocky, bumpy single track, followed by sharp turns and then straight up climbs. Well, straight up to my inexperienced legs.
Another big difference is that a ride like this is quite unlike a casual, traffic-free ride on empty country roads that are flat and go straight. Those roads are so mellow I even use my headphones sometimes (and my mirror!) I get a lot of thinking done on the Freemount and Bridgeport loops.
Riding a trail like this commands one's full attention at all times. I slipped once, early in the ride and had a couple of close calls, but avoided the ground after the first time. Tricky is a word that comes to mind to describe riding these trails.
Oh, and then there was the thrill of riding a barely wide enough to fit track right along side the lake. Water on one side and an unyielding rock on the other. I did dismount and walk through part of this section (I did the same on a few steep hills earlier in the ride).
All in all, I can't wait for the next ride like this!
Following are a few photos from the ride. The quality is not up to usual standards as most of these are screen shots from a video (helmet cam!) I shot during the ride.
My trusty ride, waiting patiently for the ride to start.
I'm leading the rear, which turned out to be appropriate as I ended up being lapped by most of the other riders. The fastest rider? 8 miles in 45 minutes. Me? 4 miles in 90 mins. Yeah, my first ride.
Turns out the downhills on mountain bike trails are much (much!) steeper than the down hills one finds on country gravel roads. Plus, on those roads you can get going fast and keep going for a while. On the trail, it's time to turn just when you're getting up to speed!
Beautiful ride today, just wonderful.
This part was awesome! It was thrilling to be riding on a single track right at the water's edge.

After a strange beginning to the season that included an exhibition after the Huskies' season opener, UConn (1-0) is entering the regular season for good on Saturday when the Huskies take on Vanderbilt in the Hall of Fame Showcase.
Saturday's game will serve as the only chance for Connecticut fans to see the Huskies in action before they leave to play in the Paradise Jam tournament in the Virgin Islands. The team won't play in Connecticut again until Nov. 28, when it faces DePaul.
Here's everything you need to know about No. 2 UConn's game against Vanderbilt:
Site: Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville
Time: 6 p.m.
Series: UConn leads, 4-2
Last meeting: Nov. 29, 2014
Radio: 105.9 FM
Vanderbilt (1-3)
Probable starters: Chelsie Hall, G, 5-7, So.; Mariella Fasoula, F, 6-5, Jr.; Cierra Walker, G, 5-8, Jr.; Autumn Newby, F, 6-2, So.; Kaleigh Clemons-Green, G, 5-7, Jr.
Offense: Vanderbilt tends to start out slow on offense before picking it up in the second half behind leading scorer Chelsie Hall and forward Mariella Fasoula.
Defense: Vanderbilt has struggled defensively in recent games. In the Commodores' game against NC State on Thursday night, they failed to defend the Wolfpack from behind the arc, which could be problematic, considering the Huskies have Katie Lou Samuelson.
About the coach: Stephanie White is in her third season coaching Vanderbilt.
UConn (1-0)
Probable starters: Napheesa Collier, F, 6-1, Sr.; Crystal Dangerfield, G, 5-5, Jr.; Katie Lou Samuelson,G/F, 6-3, Sr.; Megan Walker, G/F, 6-1, So.; Christyn Williams, G, 5-11, Fr.
Offense: The Huskies haven't had any problem scoring so far this season, beating Ohio State by more than 30 points and outscoring their exhibition opponents by even more. UConn is looking to put up as many points as possible early in the game to make up for what it lacks in defense, UConn coach Geno Auriemma said.
Defense: UConn's weakness this season. Auriemma said he's looking for freshman Christyn Williams to have a more aggressive presence on defense to force more turnovers and help the Huskies score in transition.
Key to the game: Defense. UConn is still a dominant team that shouldn't have any problem defeating an unranked Vanderbilt team, but focusing on strong defense will only help better prepare the Huskies for much tougher tests down the road.

Jurlique Edit
Jurlique Edit
I have just had the most AMAZING facial at Jurlique in the Wintergarden.
I was treated to a Nutri-Define Touch of Luxe Contouring and Defining Facial Treatment. It was both indulgent and relaxing and my skin has never felt so great.
I experienced and loved Jurlique's signature compressions. A muslin cloth is soaked in hydrating essence and compressed all over the face. This is great for skin micro circulation and stimulation. When the cloth came off my skin felt like air. I also enjoyed the traditional chinese style cool jade roller which helps to smooth any fine lines while increasing circulation. My favourite part of the facial was the warm custom blended pure rose oil application and Rose Quartz stone massage. The stones are heated to improve circulation which helps to rejuvenate the skin leaving it looking firm and plump.
I haven't used Jurlique products for many years so I was really excited to see what was new. I know Jurlique as an Australian company and they have been a leader in natural skin care since 1985 but did not know they grow all of their ingredients on their biodynamic farm in South Australia. Their products are always evolving as they apply advanced technology from decades of experience to create high performance skin care.

What is known as Qarqayan is an inherited tradition in Saudi Arabia. Children go out in their traditional clothes after 'Isha' prayer and walk outside their homes. "In the corridors of residential neighborhoods carrying pots and drums, they knock on the doors of their neighbors' houses, chanting" Karkeq Qarqai'an "between Qusayr and Ramadan. "The house of Mecca will redeem you .. He will judge you for your parents." They ask the one who opens the door for the name of the eldest son, and they invoke songs with that name. At this time, each family prepares to prepare sweets and nuts to fill the children's pots and go joyfully to the other neighboring houses. As the days passed, some details developed and pots changed into cloth bags decorated for ease of carrying. Mothers began to invent more and to prepare sweets in bags for each of Tarek's shares. Now with our residential sites and large cities, the family has become a suitable place to gather children and relatives to celebrate all of them.
There is a difference about the origin of the name of Qarqayan, some said is the door knocker and others say of the pots of the children to collect sweets; or from the pots and the two stones smooth to announce their arrival. In the novels there is consensus on the embodiment of the children's fuss regardless of their source. Such times, Goody's kitchen is happy to share the joy of knowing the customs of our country, the authenticity of our heritage and the origin of our traditions.

Many Americans rely on the government to pay for their very expensive long term care costs. The Federal and state governments usually work together to assist those in need through their respective Medicaid programs. In California, these benefits are managed by Medi-Cal, which is a means tested program. Only those that fall below a certain financial level qualify for these benefits in the state.
Even for those who are eligible, chances are that when the money becomes available they will be pursued. If a Medi-Cal enrollee passes away, the state can take steps to collect the money they spent on that persons care from their estate or surviving spouse. Right now, the only protection for the surviving spouse of a Medi-Cal enrollee is an exception that exists if collecting the money would cause the spouse substantial hardship.
There has been a push in the California legislature to reform the Medi-Cal recovery rules. Senate Bill 1124, proposed by Senator Ed Hernandez, was introduced but eventually rejected. This bill would have revised the Medi-Cal recovery rules to allow only Federally required actions to collect expenditures. It would have limited recovery to cases where the recipient used the benefits to cover nursing home care and disallowed recovery in cases of expenditures for necessary medical treatment. The bill would have also barred recovery from surviving spouses' estates. In essence, the legislation would have made it much more difficult for the state to collect the money they laid out to Medi-Cal recipients. Recently, the bill was vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown. While he expressed that reform might be necessary in this area a better solution is needed. As the state does not collect anywhere near what it expends on Medi-Cal benefits, the Governor reiterated that reform must be made with this is mind.
If you or a loved one are having trouble paying for long term care or are interested in planning to avoid this hardship, speaking with an experienced Medi-Cal planning attorney is in your best interest. Eligibility for Medi-Cal benefits can be difficult to understand and you should rely on a trusted advisor to explain all of the options to you. Call Orange County, CA attorney Brian Chew at (949)347-5256 for a consultation today.

United Way of Weld hits 37 percent of goal
October 23, 2003
United Way of Weld County officials announced Thursday that they are 37 percent closer to their goal of raising $2.77 million for this year.
As of Thursday, pledges and contributions totaled $1.02 million since the initial goal was announced July 17. United Way contributions totaled $2.72 million in 2002.
Executive director Jeannine Truswell said the next six weeks are critical to the success of this year's campaign.
"Needs within health and human services continue to grow and in a time where the economy is unstable, more and more people are hurting," she said.
Highlights of the campaign:
n Staff members at Billie Martinez Elementary School in Greeley recently completed their United Way campaign by raising more than $4,000.
Recommended Stories For You
n Students in Greeley-Evans School District 6, the Weld Central Re-3J school district and Mountain View Academy in Greeley had coin campaigns and raised $8,767.29.
n The communities of Eaton, Ault, Pierce and Nunn have raised 50 percent of their $30,000 goal.
n Erich Ehrlich is heading up the Windsor/Severance campaign and has reached 20 percent of its $60,000 goal.
This year's campaign chairwoman, Kay Drake, suggested that if people are looking for ways to save money on their 2003 taxes, consider the Child Care Tax Credit, which would bring a savings of nearly $700 for a $1,000 donation.
"We need everyone's help. Every contribution, every dollar counts," she said.

Under-bed Storage
Usually tiny bedrooms has short storage, so better value every inch from the wasted space. Ancient dough bowls, wide baskets, rolling drawers or the plastic bins create easy-used extra storage on the bottom of bed. Save for more storage area by stuffing the containers with things closed in the vacuum area bags.

The Earthling
Banx awoke in his cryonic sleep chamber with a terrible crick in his neck. He must have slept wrong, which was bad news since he'd been in there for three years. It would be days before he'd be able to straighten his neck again. Not only that, his finger and toenails had not been cut for the whole time either. They had gone curly.
The fluorescent lights of the Starcraft Kierkegaard were harsh on Banx's eyes. Groaning like an old man, he scrambled out of his tube and hobbled over to the door - squinting and with his right ear resting on his right shoulder. His overalls were hanging on one of those little plastic hooks that you attach to the backs of doors using double-sided tape. He took them down and climbed into them. In his chest pocket he found a post-it note that read: "don't forget to re-animate the cat".
Feline officer Spock the cat had been assigned to Banx in the capacity of Uncritical Companion. He was now frozen solid in a small cryowave. Banx hit the defrost button and watched the cat-laden platform within start to rotate while the timer counted down from thirty. When it hit zero, there was a loud "ding" and he opened the door. Spock emerged, steaming and a little soggy. He jumped onto the floor and stretched before sitting down to give himself a thorough licking.
First they went to the mess hall where Banx threw down a high protein synthetic energy tablet. Spock ate horse mince. As they ate they watched a movie from the vLibrary entitled "Escape from New York". The film depicted the city of New York in the distant future of 1997, in which the whole of Manhattan had been converted into a maximum-security prison.
"So this is what 1997 will look like," said Banx. He laughed, straining his neck in the process. "People haven't lived in New York for years, and it's only '96 now."
Spock ran his paw over his ears in agreement. Indeed, the world had become a vastly different place since Sylvester Stallone ended the Cold War in '85, using only his impassioned speech from the climax of Rocky IV. He had convinced world leaders everywhere that if he could change, they could change. Everybody could, in fact, change. In 1987 he created the Hard Rock Party with Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. When they came to power in '91, the U.S.A. was doomed.
The subsequent redistribution of global finances had been beneficial to Banx's island home of Anguilla, which had used its newfound wealth to begin its own space program; the Anguillan Aeronautics Program (AAP). The AAP became the world leader in cosmic sciences, inventing SPT (Socratic Paradoxal Technology), the foundation of which is that ignorance of any given subject is the key to its mastery. For example: in the early days of brain surgery it was thought that the brain was one large organ that performed one task, i.e. thinking. The opposite turned out to be true, of course, when surgeons discovered that the more they learned about the human brain, the more there was to know and the more confounded they became. SPT proposed a more "ignorant" approach in which, the less scientists knew about something, the more likely it was to work. Scientists at AAP had absolutely no knowledge of physics or aeronautics. They were, in fact, philosophy and communication graduates.
He turned the television off. There was much to do before the Kierkegaard touched down on Ganymede, the largest of Jupiter's moons. The Kierkegaard would be conducting atmospheric tests, soil composition analysis and a marketability evaluation, and Banx had to make sure that all of the ship's windows were washed before touchdown, in his official capacity of Silical Decontaminant Officer. Time to trim these nails.
"Look at all these windows, Spock."
The main hall of the lower deck was an expanse of white lino and floor to ceiling glass, looking out into blank, empty space.
"We're here to clean the windows, but if we weren't here there wouldn't need to be any windows, so they wouldn't need window cleaners."
Spock looked doubtful.
"Never mind," he said as he set his stepladder down in front of the first window, #338. "I'm not about to complain. What other job am I gonna get with an Arts degree?"
He stepped to the top of the ladder, squeegee in hand, and began cleaning.
"You know, Spock, this ship, she's meant to be so great. Self-sufficient. The computers, they take care of everything: navigation, engine maintenance, but can they get the windows completely streak-free? No, for that they need the gentle, loving touch of a lowly human."
In the top right hand corner of the window he could see a short, silver hair. He brushed at it with his fingers, but it wouldn't come away.
"Oh my lord," he said. "That's a crack, Spock. A crack in the glass. Tiny one."
From his pocket he produced a small tube of Tarzan's Grip, the strongest glue known to humankind. Using the handle of the squeegee, he trowelled some over the fracture.
"Crisis averted, eh?"
A few days later the mail came. Amongst the pizza menus and offers for free home valuations was a letter from Shirley Rafferty, the Head of Operations at the AAP.
Dearest Banx,
I hope this letter finds you well and that your window cleaning duties have been productive. All of us here at head office are thinking of you and sending our best wishes.
I would like to take this opportunity to warn you of a serious condition that has befallen some of our other Silical Decontaminant Officers. It seems that some of you have been hallucinating after prolonged periods of solitude. I like to call these hallucinations "Space Madness", thought the AAP lawyers have asked me not to.
On an unrelated note, my wife and I have recently purchased time-shares in a lovely villa on the northeast coast and are looking for other interested investors. If you or anyone you know are interested please let me know and I'll fill you in on all the details.
S. Rafferty.
How he wished Rafferty would stop using that ridiculous (and barely legible) "Bradley Hand" font on all of his correspondence. He suspected that Rafferty thought he was fooling everyone into thinking that he hand-wrote all of his letters, even though most of the time they were form letters and you could tell by the way he often forgot to un-highlight the merge fields before printing them. Still, there was something vaguely charming about a man of his standing still being so delighted and fascinated by the intermediate functions of word processing software. As he threw the letter into the wastebasket, he thought he saw, out of the corner of his eye, he could have sworn that one of the ship's struts (really?) had floated past the window.
"Are you worried?" he asked himself.
"I'm not worried," he said, scraping soapy water from window #443. His reflection looked as though it was outside, bobbing in space.
"Because now is not the time to start hallucinating."
"I've never felt more clear-headed."
"This far from Earth, you start losing it, you got trouble."
"Oh come on. I could clean these windows with my eyes closed."
"Maybe. But perhaps that's not the problem."
"What are you talking about?"
"Maybe you need to start thinking about what's holding this ship together."
"What does that mean?"
Throughout the night Banx slept uneasily. What was eating at him? Did his subconscious know something he didn't? Something about the ship's engine. The Kierkegaard had been built according to Socratic Paradoxal theory. Basically, they welded a heap of scrap metal together and tipped in a random bunch of nuts and bolts, with a collection of Arthur C. Clarke paperbacks. Perhaps some Ray Bradbury had been slipped in there, thus weakening the genre-drive.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud creaking noise. He sat up in bed and listened. Then a large piece of siding from the ship's hull floated past his bedroom window and, sitting atop it, Spock the cat. The expression on Spock's face was that of mild annoyance.
"Spock... no!"
But Spock was already doomed. All Banx could do was watch as his companion drifted into the darkness.
"Of all the souls I have encountered," he said, "His was the most human."
The mess hall, night. Banx eats his tablet slowly, shaving bits off with his teeth and rubbing them between his tongue and the roof of his mouth. Banx sits across the table from Banx, chewing a tablet of his own like a teenager chewing bubblegum.
"The ship's fine," says the first Banx.
"You think the ship's fine."
"Exactly. It's working. Everything is okay."
"You're delusional."
"I don't even know what you're talking about. What are you talking about?"
"How does the ship's engine work?"
"I don't know. I'm not an engineer."
"The ship wasn't built by an engineer."
Banx looked at him. At himself.
"If everything's fine then why should I be worrying?"
"Happy thoughts."
"Don't lose your happy thoughts."
"Why don't you go fuck yourself?"
He got up and left. No point listening to that guy. He wasn't even sure when his internal monologue had become a dialogue. And exactly what was wrong with ignorance? If it hadn't been for ignorance this great ship wouldn't even have broken Earth's gravitational field, let alone made it all the way out here. All this way out, so far from everything and everyone. There was a great shudder throughout the ship's decks. Lights flickered and then righted themselves. Things were getting serious.
Day ten. Banx awoke from a dream in which he was standing in the middle of his high school science class with no pants on. Shaking, he walked into the bathroom and washed the sweat from his forehead.
At breakfast he forwent the energy tablet and ate a portion of Spock's raw horsemeat. His usually high standard of window washing had deteriorated to shooting a few squirts of window cleaner onto the window, often not bothering to wipe it off. Then he discovered it.
He had gone to the toilet to clear his head (among other things). He had rooted through the magazines lying on the toilet floor, looking for a copy of NME that he hadn't yet read, and there it was. A textbook.
"Introduction to Physics" said the title. Horrified, he jumped up and washed his hands. This is it, he thought, this is the reason the ship's failing. A poison pill! After deliberating for some minutes, he knew what he must do. He would blow the piece of filth straight out of the airlock.
He took the textbook down to the lower deck, holding it between thumb and forefinger. The ship was grumbling and the lights were threatening to shut off completely. He opened the inner door of the airlock and tossed the book into the small white room, then closed it again. Through a small window in the door (#186), he could watch the evacuation. Next to the door was a red safety button marked "outer door". He pushed it. The book's pages flipped open as all the air began to leave the room, then it was pulled over to the expanding doorway, then it was pulled through, into space.
Immediately the lights went back to full power and the turbulence stopped. If I keep saving the ship like this, he thought, I'll be up for some kind of medal.
He turned and walked up the main hall. Through the now grimy windows he could see Ganymede approaching. Not long now, he thought. Not long before we set down, do the damn tests, and then get out of here.
Something flickered up past the window. That damn book. He averted his eyes as quickly as he could, not wanting to even catch a glimpse of the thing that had nearly caused his end.
But it was too late. Before he could look away, the book had danced into his field of vision, open to page one hundred and fifty-three. Without meaning to, he read the following sentence:
Aerodynamics is the name given to the physical science that deals with lift...
And that was enough. The ship resumed its trembling. The lights finally went off. The window in front of him (#336) cracked like lightning, top-left to bottom-right. He fell to his knees. This was the end. In a mighty, awe-inspiring display of destruction, the Kierkegaard tore itself apart.
As Spock tumbled through nothingness his mood shifted from annoyed, to less annoyed, to full of wonder. He was seeing things that no cat had ever seen before. The stars, the absolute black of space and, looming before him, the vast milky surface of Jupiter. Then more feelings came, thrust upon him by an external intelligence. In his mind he saw things; the beginning of time, the end of time, all things coming and going at once. And lights. Bright, dazzling lights, shifting and flowing over each other. His consciousness was being elevated at an undreamed-of rate, millions of years of evolution in mere seconds. His thought processes overtook that of a human and became something new. He became something new, something never seen before. Then he knew why he was there. Some extraterrestrial being had summoned him, brought his whole ship out here unharmed. The entire mission had been leading up to this. Spock kept evolving until his mind no longer had use for his body. His consciousness floated out into the universe. He was the first Earthling to make contact, the first Earthling to evolve past the need for physical being. He was Space Cat.

Yesterday we learned that the RNC had paid over $230.000 to President Donald Trump's legal teams for fees billed toward legal defense stemming from the multitudinous charges of collusion with Russians during and since the election. Today we learn that the payments from the RNC extend even farther into their donation bucket.
From Politico we got a general breakdown of the expenditures on Trump, Sr.'s behalf:
'The RNC, which is expected to release its August spending totals on Wednesday, has totaled expenditures of more than $230,000 on the president's Russia-related legal fees: $131,250 to Jay Sekulow and $100,000 to John Dowd, both of whom are part of Trump's personal legal team.'
Today we learned that the RNC has spent almost $200,000 on behalf of Donald Trump, Jr. who has no political affiliation with the RNC and is not currently running for or holding any elected office or government position:
'The RNC also spent nearly $200,000 to cover Donald Trump Jr.'s legal fees, according to a committee official. More than $166,000 was paid to attorney Alan Futerfas, while another $30,000 was paid to the Williams & Jensen firm. Both helped the younger Trump prepare for testimony.'
What must of course be asked at this stage is, "Was that the intended destination for those donated funds?" Or are donors being bamboozled by a con game being played in the highest office of the United States?
According to RNC spokesperson, Cassie Smedile, from Politico:
'The money comes from the RNC's legal proceedings account, which has several million dollars in it. Funds from the legal proceedings account "do not reduce by a dime the resources we can put towards our political work."'
A sum of almost half a million dollars to defend two people against charges of collusion against the United States. An act bordering on treason, and the RNC is actively paying their legal fees. What does that say about the credibility and integrity of the RNC?
From the DailyMail:
'Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking at possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in last year's election, and whether Trump may have obstructed justice by firing FBI Director James Comey, among other actions.'
With the continued digging into the Trump-Russia collusion matter, the Trump's legal fees will undoubtedly continue to mount. The true test of loyalty will come when the RNC finally gets tired of footing the bill and declines to continue supporting this dead horse. Will Trump stay loyal to the GOP? Or will he turn on them like a rabid dog and go on the attack using Twitter to destroy them (at least in his own mind)?
Got popcorn?

Take a day trip to Isla Holbox
Over the Christmas & New Year break we tried out the Holbox boat trip available through Tours Aventura (booked with Luis in the El Cuyo main square – the house with the lighthouse wallart). Nora @solotravelz was my travel buddy for the day and we were both visiting Holbox for the first time – with high expectations but not much background knowledge.
We made our way to the port to meet our Captain Luis at 7am and we left the harbour shortly after – on a day considered 'a bit' windy. The journey to Holbox is only 31 km and usually takes an hour, but Luis wasn't able to get up much speed without us bouncing on the waves, so we tootled along slowly. Thankfully this meant we were able to spot and slow down in time to coast along and watch a family of dolphins swim along beside us – two adults and a baby!
By the time we reached Holbox, I was getting hungry and my telephone was showing the time as just past 10am. Holbox is in Quintana Roo which is one hour ahead during winter daylight saving time, so the journey had only taken 2 hours – and not 3 as I'd originally thought (although to be honest, my bum felt more like it had been 3!). Luis informed us we had till 1pm to be back on the boat (so 2pm going by the time on my phone) and off we went to explore the island.
To get around Holbox 'downtown', you can explore easily on foot, however to visit the further away and less touristy parts, you can rent golf buggy or bikes by the hour, or you can take one of the island's yellow taxi golf carts. After a very brief discussion regarding the limited time we had and the size of the island (41km long), we opted for renting a golf buggy.
Golf buggy hire prices are pretty standard across the island at $200/hour. We rented from Gama Extreme which has a palapa hut right by the Tiburon Ballena jetty, and this worked out fine. Make sure you have the payment in cash and they'll take an ID card from you as a deposit.
If you're interested in bike hire, there are loads of places in town to choose from and prices vary. It usually works out at about 50$/hour.
Taxis are priciest, if you choose to do a tour they'll charge around 250$ per person per hour – so if you're on your own it's not too bad, but if there are 4 of you, it's much cheaper to hire your own buggy.
I'd heard a lot about Holbox (pronounced Hol-bosh). In fact, when I arrived in Mexico over 18 months ago, the first person I met had told me it was the most beautiful place she'd visited since she'd been travelling Mexico, and that it had to be seen to be believed. Sand tracks, no cars, brightly painted wooden houses, hammocks in the sea, a traveller vibe, great wall art, and peace and tranquility…my idea of bliss…fingers crossed it was going to live up to expectations!
First off we drove around 'downtown', doing photo stops at the best wall art, and then we headed to the ferry port – not much to see, but the yellow taxi golf carts lined up waiting for people getting off the ferry was funny! By now, I was starving, but thankfully Nora has some snacks as we were in too much of a rush to stop anywhere and have breakfast.
Time was ticking, so next on the list was Punta Coco. I don't think we actually made it all the way, but we ended up at the Carolinda beach club, where the beach had a totally wild feel about it. We spent some time chilling out in the free hammocks (no drink purchase necessay!), swinging on the swings, wandering in the white sand and swimming in the shallow green waters. There are some really great photo opportunities here so if you're a budding photographer (or just an Instagram fan) this place is worth a visit. By the time we were leaving Carolinda beach, I was much more relaxed and although our visit to Holbox would soon be over, I'd stopped stressing so much about seeing EVERYTHING…it's just not possible! Better to relax and enjoy!!!
We U-turned back into town and stopped for lunch (by this stage I'd munched through my finger nails and was ready to eat my own arm) at a little French café called Cafecito. The sign outside said 'Not fast food' but I asked if it was possible to get take out as we had to return to the boat in 30 minutes, and they happily agreed. The salmon and cream cheese croissant was superb, as was the melon water – and I think it cost about $100 (I remember thinking it was much cheaper than I'd expected!). It was super speedy too so we actually sat and ate it in the café. All in all, a very nice experience.
And then we had another little wander in town, bought an ice-cream, tootled back to return the golf buggy (and to retrieve my driving licence) and headed back to the pier where Luis was waiting in the boat.
The return journey was much less choppy (as we were travelling with the wind), and we sped along happily. No dolphins this time, but sting rays instead! We stopped off at 'La Isla Bonita' – a shallow area of turquoise crystalline water somewhere in between Holbox and El Cuyo. The experience of standing waist high in water in the middle of the sea is just surreal! Coming back into El Cuyo, the kiteboarders were out in force so we whizzed past them performing tricks and turns for us, and we were back in El Cuyo port for 3.15pm.
This trip with Luis (who speaks a little English) at Tours Aventura costs $3000 and the boat can take up to 5 people. Please note that the boat is a standard and clean fishing boat which isn't kitted out for tourists, but Luis is a safe and confident captain who rides the waves well! He leaves port at 7am and returns at 3.15pm. All in all, I'd recommend the day – and yes, Holbox was as good as I'd hoped and is definitely worth a visit…I'll be going back! Aventura Tours do a number of other boat trips from El Cuyo – click here for more information.
Nuscaa Experiences (a newly established tour provider in El Cuyo) have two different offerings for Holbox. They do a one-way tour via Holbox to Cancun for those who want to make the most of their travel day (or who need to be in Cancun for an early flight), or they also do a day trip package to Holbox that uses a local Captain, includes all of the above – plus the Yalahau cenote, pick up from accommodation, information, map and recommendations on what's best to do on Holbox and a ceviche picnic on the return journey. For more information and prices, please click here.
If you have your own car, you can drive to Chiquila (it takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes), leave the car there and take the ferry to the island. There are several car parks costing $50 half day or $100 for 24 hours. The ferry takes about 30 minutes and costs $140/adult, $90/child. Ferries start leaving Chiquila from 6am and go approx every two hours depending on the season. Return ferries leave on the hour from 4pm until 8pm, and then the final one at 9.30pm. During peak vacation dates the ferry is hourly. Click here for up to date ferry times and prices.

Our records show you haven't updated your free Google Business listing
Have you received this call? Did it sound like it was from Google? I can assure you, it wasn't.
Spammers are cold calling local businesses and claiming you need to update your Google Business Listing.
I am getting this automated phone call at least three times a week. It then asks you to press 1 to update your listing and 9 to be removed from the list. I'm here to tell you they are not from Google and pressing "9" does not get you off the list.
The calls get excessive and are very annoying. If you have call blocking, that will help.
I actually decided to play along and find out what their game was last week, so I pressed "1". A nice sounding man came on the line and said that I need to update my Google listing. When I asked him why he said my website isn't ranking as high as it should and that he could get my website on page one of Google.
My answer to that was "I am already number 1 on page 1 of both Google and Bing. Can you top that"? I got a bit of silence, and he said, "uh no". I replied, "I could probably teach you a thing or two about SEO." He hung up…
The fact is, there is nothing to update on your Google listing unless you have changed your contact information or website address. This is a company who is preying on small business owners for their own financial gain. The way they start out, with deceptive tactics, makes me think they are not ethical and someone you do not want to do business with. If you receive this call, I would suggest blocking the number if you can.

Stephen King's Ultimate Playlist
Rodney Crowell, Bruce Springsteen, and Langhorne slim made our columnist's megamix
Sorry, but I'm not going to do a year-end Best Music column this year; I've decided to replace it with Best TV instead. Not because there hasn't been any big audio dynamite in 2009, but because I haven't heard enough to fill up a column. That's the bad news. The good news is that in the meantime, I've made you my very own Uncle Stevie Mix, guaranteed to please the soul and soothe the savage beast. Just remember to download all tunes from an accredited source, because those of us who live by copyright know that bootleg mixes are the devil's work.
"WORRIES" Langhorne Slim
I first came across this sweetly reassuring tune ("I won't hurt you/Won't desert you") in a Travelers Insurance ad full of floating umbrellas. I won't say it'll make your day, but it might make a little piece of it.
"FAST GIRL," The Tractors
It's got a heavy, rollicking backbeat, and how can you not love a song about a chick who has "a high-toned way of gettin' real low-down"?
"BEAUTIFUL WRECK," Shawn Mullins (live version)
The girl's a hopeless alcoholic, far too drunk to drive herself home from the local bar, but the guy singing the song is still head over heels for her.
"WILD WEEKEND," The Rockin' Rebels
Still the best instrumental of the rock era, featuring a thudding rhythm guitar and a tear-the-roof-off-the-sucka sax solo.
"MRS. MCKENZIE," Janis Ian
Recorded when Ian was just 15, this creepy song about the world's most cold-blooded mommy gives me the chills.
"STEP IT UP & GO," Alvin "Youngblood" Hart & Teenie Hodges
I stumbled across this revival-style rocker while watching The Great Debaters and downloaded it immediately.
"SHAKE," Sam Cooke
Uptempo, sexy soul music of the finest kind; if this doesn't run your motor, you need a tune-up.
"STARS ON THE WATER," Rodney Crowell
Songs about drinking the night away are rarely beautiful and romantic; this one is, and the steady-rolling rhythm line is hypnotic.
"CARLENE," Phil Vassar
A young man finally gets a chance at the girl he longed for back in high school: "Oooh-la-la, lookin' good, Carlene."
"I SHOT YOUR DOG," Fred Eaglesmith
Country music at its best.
"SEEDS," Bruce Springsteen
I originally meant to put the new Springsteen song "Wrecking Ball" on my mix, but then I listened to this again. It's one of the best live rock & roll tracks ever laid down.
"GALVESTON FLOOD," Tom Rush
The big Texas flood happened 105 years before Katrina hit New Orleans, but you know what they say: The more things change, the more they stay the same. Six minutes of unrelenting knife-style guitar. This is a killer ballad caught somewhere between folk and rock.
"1952 VINCENT BLACK LIGHTNING," Richard Thompson
The ultimate ladies-love-outlaws song. "Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" — were truer words ever spoken?
"FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE HOTLINE," Robbie Fulks
Possibly the funniest (and most loving) send-up of pop music ever recorded.
"CAN YOUR PUSSY DO THE DOG," The Cramps
Just a totally great punk tune, so get your mind out of the gutter! (Or not.)
"BAYOU TORTOUS," James McMurtry
Alt-country's poet laureate at his drily sarcastic best: "Just another night with the missus and me/Sittin' on the couch, watchin' Court TV."
"BABY COME BACK TO ME," The Manhattan Transfer
A dynamite cover of an old doo-wop street-dance classic called "Morse Code of Love." Who sang that? Doesn't matter; this is the rare cover that redefines the original.
"DIAMOND SHOES," Tift Merritt
Merritt's sweetly wistful voice is perfect for this song, urging that little mousy girl in the corner to get involved with life, to put on her diamond shoes.
"MANIFESTO NO. 1," Shooter Jennings
A steamy anthem about the joys of slightly kinky physical love, especially after a hard day at the office: "Let your hair down/Get out of that skirt/But leave those high heels on."
No mix would be complete without the Young brothers and gravel-voiced vocalist Brian Johnson. This is my favorite AC/DC track — powerhouse rock combined with gleeful double entendres.
Your mission — should you choose to accept it — is to download the tunes to your player of choice, and turn that sucker up to 11. Think you can manage that? Yeah, I knew you could.
Now rock on, brothers and sisters. Rock on.

Fantastic 15 How To Wire A Light Switch From Fuse Box Photos

Fantastic How To Wire A Light Switch From Fuse Box Photos - Now you're geared up to run your wires according to the wiring diagram. Hold wires near an current wire loom and be cautious of loops and sagging wires, which may snag on a transferring issue of the automobile. Do no longer upload the crimped ends to any of the wires till all the wires are in location. Cut and leave about 6 inches of extra twine at each terminal point. I'm a huge believer in having a brilliant pink rear foglight on my vehicles. Not unusual in europe as each factory gadget on a few makes of motors and after market on others. Hella usa used to import a pair exclusive rear fog lights and a actually neat transfer that might permit just the rear fog mild to function, allow just the front fog lighting to operate and a blend of each. Alas, no longer availiable at least inside the usa. I simply hooked up a remarkable brilliant crimson led rear fog mild that pia has on my subaru outback. Stressed out to work one at a time or with front manufacturing facility fogs. The pia unit is fairly costly but a ways much less than having a few idiot smack you within the rear in foggy weather due to the fact he was using too fast for conditons.
I agree – assuming the switch turns on the connection among 30 and 87on the relay, i might have thought 30 on the relay should be connected to the fuse-block and the low modern supply to the transfer from the low-beam twine. Not that i'm an expert or anything however connecting the opposite manner round as defined inside the write-up might be basically the same as crimping each fog lights to one low-beam headlight which might bring about blowing the headlight fuse(?). Turn on the ignition and hit your switch. Nothing need to appear. Now, turn on your headlights to "low beam" and the fog lighting fixtures will come on. Toggle the switch and see that the lighting fixtures paintings nicely. Use lock ties to comfortable all wires.
I remember the times when i rummaged approximately in my "box of wires" and grabbed any gauge wire of sufficient or inadequate length, splicing together a "rat's nest" of wire connections and crimped ends to connect any quantity of preferred add-ons. After a few smoke-stuffed incidents i am a good deal extra cautious.

Permanent destruction of the hair follicle has been a life changing technology for millions of women and men. The technology has improved tremendously over the last 15 years making the process quicker and more comfortable. At Wellpath we have the newest technology allowing us to efficiently get you to a smooth, hair-free body.
The way it works is simple. The laser emits a light that is attracted to the pigment in the hair. This light travels down the hair shaft into the skin where the follicle lives. Traveling with the light is heat, and the heat destroys the blood supply at the base of the follicle. Without its blood supply, the hair follicle dies and can never produce hair again.
The newest technology adds radiofrequency to the light. This allows us to blast the hair follicle with 4 times the heat of conventional lasers while keeping the skin cool–making the treatment much less painful than with older technologies.
If you are suffering from ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing, you will start to see the improvement immediately after the first treatment.
The results with this revolutionary technology are so predictable that Wellpath offers a guarantee that after 8 sessions done on protocol, any extra treatments needed to clear up any patches in the 6 months following your 8th session are free.
Sessions start at $150
When you purchase 5 sessions, you will receive one free.
For multiple areas in the same session, the smaller area is discounted by 50%
How permanent is it? We can only destroy the hair follicles that exist at the time of the treatments. Your body will continue to produce new follicles over your lifetime as part of its normal function. However, the number and quality of the new hair is much different, being very sparse and more like baby fine hair. Some people go years without doing any touchups and some people come in on a yearly basis to eliminate any strays. For example, you may have 3 or 4 hairs in the underarms sprout up over the years. Men's backs and women's faces tend to require a little more maintenance because over time they tend to be areas that stimulate follicle growth with aging.
Can I do a Brazilian bikini? Yes, you can. However, the process is not as efficient due to the irregular surface on the labia. We recommend doing it for the first few times to reduce the volume and then return to waxing for what will be left. Also, this is a permanent treatment and hair will not grow back once it is eliminated.
How long are the sessions? Doing underarms or bikini only takes 15 minutes and you can go right about your normal activity. Legs and back take about 1 hour.
When is the best time to do the treatments? Hair removal can be done all year long. However, we recommend not doing it during times when you might have a lot of sun exposure to the area especially for bikini and legs and back.
Can I still wax and shave between appointments? Yes, both are fine. We do need the hairs to be just poking through the skin on the day of the treatment.

Dr. Jame' will Change your Life! – Dr. Jame' and the Wellpath staff are AMAZING. I started seeing Dr. Jame' 8 years ago with crazy hairy legs/bikini/underarms and a sun damaged blotchy face. She has changed my life!!! Got rid of all my unwanted hair and I only need a touchup AT MOST once a year. I never shave. The dark spots on my face are gone (the result of IPL and peels) and my winkles have softened considerably with my recent few treatments of Refirme facial tightening. But, i have to say that the best thing about going to Wellpath is Dr. Jame' herself. She seriously has the BEST bedside manner. Instead of feeling like you are having a treatment done, it's like you are hanging out with your girlfriend or therapist (take your pick depending on what kind of day you are having!). Completely unpretentious medical spa with a Zen decor, the nicest staff, and a great new location. 100% recommend.

Made Me HOT – I love this place! I have been going to Wellpath for three years now. I first went because I wanted to have laser hair removal on my back, and it was the closest place to where I live. I felt a little awkward at first because I thought it was a med spa just for women, but Dr. Jame and Jennifer made me feel very welcome. They love their gays! While Jennifer was doing my laser treatment, she asked if I had ever tried anything for the stretch marks on my back. (I do a lot of weight training and had some serious stretch marks from some big muscle gains.) I told her that I had tried various creams and treatments and that nothing had worked. She told me she could treat the marks with carboxy therapy. I decided to give it a try. Best. Decision. Ever. After just a few laser treatments for the hair and a few carboxy treatments for the stretch marks, I had (and have!) a smooth back without noticeable stretch marks. Most recently, I returned to see about getting some localized fat treated. After bulking up for a few months, I was trying to lean down, but I could not get rid of a little lower back fat, and it was driving me crazy. Jennifer put together a personalized package of Zerona, carboxy, and Velashape treatments, and ZOMG, it did the trick! I was 13% fat at the beginning and 9% at the end! I did some dieting in there, which I know helped, but the difference was that the fat came from the right places–my lower back and a little area around my belly button!! Try this place! You (and everyone who sees you shirtless and/or naked) will be glad you
did. Cheers! K

Well done at Wellpath – I had laser treatments for my underarms here and I was quite pleased. I found the staff to be very informative and polite. They really are thorough and walk you through the process. The environment is cheery and down to earth. I highly recommend visiting for any of their services. I also booked an Epicuran facial (I swear by that line by the way) as a birthday gift for myself and can't wait to go, as I hear their newest esthetician is fantastic!

Great doctor, Amazing results, Zero Attitude — Best Spa Bar None! – II have been a client of Dr. Jame's for almost four years and I recommend her and Wellpath without reservation. Dr. Jame is extremely knowledgeable and capable. I have had laser hair removal on most parts of my body and it has been more effective than I could have ever imagined. I have not had to shave my legs in years!!! She has changed this hairy Italian gal's life! I also have had both IPL and peels done on my face for a good amount of sun damage and dark spots. The treatments have vastly improved both the texture and the glow of my skin. My mom always says that my skin has never looked better. I look more refreshed and my skin has literally been transformed. In addition to the amazing results from treatments, I also cannot say enough about Dr. Jame's "bedside manner" and her wonderful staff. She REALLY cares about her clients and puts her heart and soul into making sure you are happy with the results. She really puts you at ease and she just exudes something that makes you feel completely relaxed. If you want a warm, friendly and down to earth place with zero attitude, a caring staff and an awesome and professional doctor, this is the place for you.

WONDERFUL spa! – I've done their Carboxy Therapy, Endermology, laser hair removal, laser for acne, facials and eyebrow waxing. The whole staff is amazing – warm and friendly, helpful, wonderful. When I was told that the laser treatments were "painless" I laughed. But they really are!!! And I'm a HUGE wimp. Dr. Jame is sensitive and gentle and really takes her time with you. Jennifer makes you feel like a sister. The receptionist's are great. And Leda gives the BEST eyebrow wax I've EVER had. I love this place. It's like, my home away from home.

Great results and value – I initially went to Dr. Haskett for laser hair removal during Spa Week 2004. At the same time, I was seeing another doctor for laser treatments to a different area. Dr. Haskett was, by far, much more thorough. She explained the entire hair removal process to me and walked through the procedures that she would utilize. She was extremely clear on what she could accomplish and the results that she could obtain for me. Prior to my consultation with her I had extremely unsatisfactory results with electrolysis and realized I was receiving less than satisfactory results with the other doctor. Additionally being a satisfied client, with respect to the laser hair removal, I have utilized Dr. Haskett;s services for carboxytherapy, with great success. I have always been extremely satisfied with the results and value. I highly recommend Dr. Haskett for her professionalism, her ability and the results she has obtained for me.

I gave Wellpath 5 stars because Dr. Jame' and the Wellpath staff are AMAZING. I started seeing Dr. Jame' 7 years ago with crazy hairy legs/bikini/underarms and a sun damaged blotchy face. She has changed my life!!! Got rid of all my unwanted hair and I only need a touchup AT MOST once a year. I never shave. The dark spots on my face are gone (the result of IPL and peels) and my winkles have softened considerably with my recent few treatments of Refirme facial tightening. But, i have to say that the best thing about going to Wellpath is Dr. Jame' herself. She seriously has the BEST bedside manner.
