AFL Round 4 Review
After only a month it's already crisis time for Melbourne

The Australian Football League season may only be one month old but already Melbourne's tilt at premiership glory is effectively over: the Demons are winless and entrenched at the bottom of the AFL ladder, devoid of confidence and battling a crippling and mounting injury toll.
Already without a number of key players coming into the match against Fremantle, the downtrodden Demons couldn't afford what happened to them on Sunday afternoon, not only were they on the receiving end of 45-point loss at the hands of the Dockers, but what was a high injury tally became a disastrous one after Matthew Whelan (hamstring), Nathan Jones (ankle), Daniel Bell (concussion), Nathan Brown (calf), & Paul Wheatley (shoulder) all keeping the Demons medical staff rushed off their feet. Add that to the late withdrawals of Travis Johnstone and Brent Moloney and the Demons are looking like the Australian Rules equivalent of a Shakespearean tragedy.

Melbourne's problems though should not take away from the Dockers' fine win. The previously winless Fremantle midfield clicked, Paul Hasleby racked up 37 possessions and veteran Shaun McManus won the football 31 times. Dockers captain Matthew Pavlich made a welcome return to form after an average start to the season with a six goal return but the big story for the Dockers was Des Headland.
Headland, who made headlines in Australia after escaping suspension despite being found guilty of striking after the AFL tribunal accepted Headland's defense of provocation from comments he believed West Coast's Adam Selwood had made about his six-year-old daughter and was jeered at every turn by the partisan Melbourne crowd, had the last laugh. The former number one draft pick played one of his best games in the AFL, collecting 29 possessions and kicking three goals.
The most thrilling match of the weekend was played out at Launceston, Tasmania with Hawthorn holding on for a four-point win over Geelong. Little separated the two sides in the last three quarters after the Cats had made a great start, kicking the only three goals in the first quarter. But after that the Hawks adapted to the windy conditions in their second home better, especially when kicking with the wind advantage in the second quarter.
The Hawks grabbed the lead in the in the last quarter and held on desperately as the Cats attacked their goal again and again. Hawthorn's defense played brilliantly, keeping the Cats tall forwards of Cameron Mooney, Nathan Ablett and Tom Hawkins goalless, while the always dangerous Paul Chapman suffered the same fate, well held and well beaten by underrated Hawk Brad Sewell.
Richmond sit with Melbourne as the only sides in the competition yet to record a win in season 2007, like the Demons the Tigers campaign is already in tatters after Friday night's 32-point MCG loss against the Western Bulldogs. The Doggies made a positive return to form after a poor fortnight, leading at every change and rarely really challenged.
Robert Murphy and Luke Darcy both played their best matches since their return from knee reconstruction surgery, both kicking four goals. The pair's successful return with be a key if the Bulldogs are to make a genuine push for the premiership. Once again Richmond were their own worst enemy, overusing the ball, actually having 58 possessions more than the Bulldogs and were indirect in the path to goal, while the Tigers have been competitive in the first four rounds, concentration lapses and over handling off the ball have been costly.
The Kangaroos notched up their first win for the year, making a successful debut at their new second home at Carrara at Queensland's Gold Coast, handing the Brisbane Lions a 24-point defeat their second straight loss. In wet conditions the Kangaroos intensity at the football was too much for the Lions to handle.
The conditions did affect the standard of the match, with both side making over 40 clangers (unforced errors) each, while the normally reliable Jonathon Brown had a shocker with his goalkicking, only kicking 1.5 from six shots. Had Brown been on target may well have had the edge over their opponents. After critical attention in the local media in recent weeks Kangaroos Daniel Wells silence his critics with a brilliant second half, picking up 18 quality possessions in the second half that even had Lions coach Leigh Matthews impressed.
With only a four day turnaround before Wednesday's ANZAC Day clash at the MCG, Collingwood had their plans for the big match derailed with a string of injuries in their 18-point loss to Port Adelaide. The Magpies fell away badly in the second half in a rain soaked Melbourne Cricket Ground, not kicking a goal after the five minute mark of the third quarter as the Power kicked the last five goals of the match. Port Adelaide's Cornes brothers, Chad and Kane Cornes starred in the second half with 42 possessions between them in the second half of the match but they had plenty of support with the Power adapting to the conditions better than the Magpies over the full four quarters.
What will concern Collingwood ahead of Wednesday's fixture, one of the biggest of the football calendar, is the physical bruising the Magpies copped during the match with Simon Prestigiacomo (groin), Paul Licuria (hamstring), Dale Thomas (ankle) and Scott Burns (knee), all doubtful for Wednesday.
Collingwood's opponent for the ANZAC Day clash, Essendon, fared much better. Playing only kilometers away from the MCG, the Bombers avoided the rain by playing under the roof at the Telstra Dome and claimed their third win for the season, proving too good for St. Kilda, the Bombers taking away a 31-point win for their efforts.
With two of the best forward lines in the competition, the match was surprisingly low scoring at the start with only three goals between them in the first quarter but from their the Bombers took charge with their superior leg speed. The Bombers younger players impressed once again, Paddy Ryder in his second season showing that he has potential to fill a key defensive post. The highlight of the round came from this game as well, Essendon's Dustin Fletcher making his nomination for goal of the year with a massive roost from over 70 meters out that sailed through the goals.
Adelaide have proved once again that they are one of the best in the competition at stopping their opponents at playing their game as they choked up the Swans supply in their 17-point win at AAMI Stadium. The Crows controlled the tempo of the game and were happy to chip the ball around and hold up play and wait for the opportunities to present themselves. Andrew McLeod continued his great start to the season with another best on ground performance and All-Australian Ben Rutten played a magnificent game on Sydney co-captain Barry Hall. The Swans were uncharacteristically poor in their disposal of the football and their on-field discipline, the Swans missing many simple shots at goal and giving away too many silly free kicks.
In the final match of round four, West Coast showed they are a class above Carlton in their 61-point win. The Eagles set a new AFL record for most team disposals in a match with 469 (compared to the Blues 293) and had nine players who collected 25 or more individual possessions. West Coast got the jump on the Blues at the start of the match with the first two goals before heavy rain began to fall and from their the Blues found it difficult to score, only kicking four goals for the entire match.

Hundreds of Soldiers and Airmen from Fort Bragg participated in pre-race events and benefitted from the cheers of thousands of race fans during the Memorial Day weekend NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 held at Charlotte Motor Speedway May 27.
The XVIII Airborne Corps commander, Maj. Gen. Rodney Anderson, was on hand to speak to the crowd before the race and enjoy the sights and sounds of one of NASCAR�s premier events honoring the nation�s veterans.
�To have the (NASCAR) Coca-Cola 600 recognize and acknowledge our veterans on this weekend is just something special,� said Anderson.
Pre-race events showcasing Fort Bragg Soldiers and Airmen included a 21-gun salute fired by the howitzers of Battery A, 3rd Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, a jump by two Soldiers from the Black Daggers of the Special Operations Command Parachute Team and a crowd pleasing march through the stands by hundreds of uniformed men and women.
Soldiers and Airmen from Fort Bragg were able to interact up close and personal with some of their favorite NASCAR personalities and take cell phone photos and videos to capture the behind the scenes events of the day.
The U.S. Army is represented on the track by the number 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet driven by Ryan Newman.
In a NASCAR.com article, Newman encouraged fans to remember America�s servicemembers. He wrote that he hoped everyone would take a moment to honor the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifices over the years to protect our freedoms.

Sea Recovery
The Sea Frost Engine Drive System offers true cold storage refrigeration for offshore cruising. The cold storage method is like having a "self-replenishing block of ice" and is the best way to refrigerate a boat when a continuous power source is not available or when battey banks are inadequate to support electric systems. Driving the compressor from the engine rapidly freezes the contents of the holdover plate converting engine power to"cold" directly - an extremely efficient energy transfer. A well designed Engine Drive system can accomplish a day's worth of refrigeration in under an hour while otherwise using the engine: motoring, charging your batteries, making and/or heating water.
Water cooling is achieved by using a flow-through condenser (heat exchanger) and the engine raw water pump. This eliminates an additional water pump, strainer and through-hull fittings.
The Engine Drive is easily combined with other types of Sea Frost systems, including our dockside, generator or 12 volt models.
The vision and directions were specific: Create a simple-to-use automatic water maker with robust engineering, extended service life, and low maintenance. The Sea Recovery engineering team worked on this project for two years to bring water making to its ultimate, yet simplest form: Just touch the screen and the Aqua Matic does the rest automatically, with reduced maintenance, giving you more leisure time.
The Aqua Matic Compact style is a low profile, small footprint, horizontal one-piece frame configuration that minimizes installation time. All components within the frame are readily accessible for ease of maintenance. Items external of the frame include: sea strainer, booster pump, optional multimedia filter, optional plankton filter, commercial pre-filter, oil/water separator, optional rinse and clean valves, fresh water flush, optional remote touchscreen, and optional soft motor starter.
The Aqua Matic Modular style allows for separate system component placement, which gives more versatility to the installation when ther is insufficient space for the compact system.
Ideal for mid to large size yachts 40 to 150 feet in length (18 to 68 meters), the Aqua Whisper water maker features semi-automatic operation with a touch pad control panel that allows simple touch-and-go operation. The touch pad provides 10 illuminated LED status indication lamps of the system operation, which can also be viewed and managed with the optional Touch Pad Remote from anywhere on the boat. Product water quality is displayed in bar graph format with an additional 10 LEDs , and fault LED indication is provided for easy diagnosis of required maintenance.
Aqua Whisper Compact is a low profile, horizontal one piece frame configuration that minimizes installation time. All components within the frame are readily accessible for ease of maintenance.
Aqua Whisper Modular allows for separate system component placement when there is insufficient space for the compact system.
The Ultra Whisper is the logical choice for those who require a low power consumption water maker and is ideal for small sail and power boats that either have only DC power available or small AC generators less than 4kW in size.
This energy efficient water maker self-adjusts to any feed water condition. The user-friendly touch pad provides 15 illuminated LED status indication lamps of the system operation and product water quality. Fault LED indication is provided for easy diagnosis of required maintenance. Operation of the system can also be performed from a remote location.
The Ultra Whisper patented energy recovery device (enhancer) is smooth running, extraordinarily quite, and water lubricated, so no oil changes are required. This state-of-the-art pump is manufactured from highly corrosion and erosion resistant duplex stainless steel material that provides far greater protection than 316 stainless steel.
The Ultra Whisper Compact is a low profile, horizontal, one-piece frame configuration that minimizes installation time. All components within the frame are readily accessible for ease of maintenance.
The Ultra Whisper Modular allows for separate system component placement when there is insufficient space for the compact system.
Each Sea Recovery reverse osmosis desalination system comes complete and ready to produce great tasting potable water after installation. Certain applications, installations, or use can be enhanced with optional accessories specifically designed for each particular system in a specific application or use.
Ideally designed for: mega-yachts, commercial fishing vessel, work boats, oilrigs, charter boats, and land-based or shoreline businesses on or near the ocean that requires fresh water, the Coral Sea Series reverse osmosis desalinator is the ultimate quality solution for all applications.
The rugged, yet compact frame allow for versatile installations. The Coral Sea system features semi-automatic operation with touch screen controls. The user-freindly touch screen displays pictorial images of all operating conditions, which can also be viewed with the optional remote touch screen controller from any location on the boat. Back-up pressure gauges provide system operating conditions at a glance. All system readings can abe selected to display either U.S. standard or metric measurements. Automatic shut down can be set on a timer or for a specified product water amount.
The Aqua Mini water makers are ideal for the smaller pleasure craft under 45 feet in lenght (13 meters). The small footprint and compact configuration is easy to install and simple to operate. The compact frame design allows for easy access to components for operation and maintenance. The Aqua Mini produces either 170 or 350 U.S. gallons per day (644 or 1,325 liters per day) or 7 or 15 U.S. gallons per hour (27 or 55 liters per hour).
Aqua Mini Compact design is a low profile and small footprint, horizontal-paneled frame configuration that minimizes installation time and space. All components within the frame are readily accessible for ease of maintenance.

Summer school is for every kid.
Summer school in the Lake Washington School District is expansive! Along with opportunities to re-learn previously taught content, students can undertake accelerated coursework and engage in enriching experiences. From STEM and drama camps, integrated art/writing, and sustainable design, to multiple Jr. DigiPen courses (including game design, art and animation, music and sound design, and fictional worldbuilding) there's something to interest every kid.
not every kid can afford to go.
That's why the Lake Washington Schools Foundation is sponsoring need-based scholarships for summer school. With your help, we'll raise enough funding to secure summer school opportunities for students who would otherwise be unable to attend.

Words, suggestions and memories inside an essence. The inspirations of Silvio Levi became the notes of an ideal diary, a collection of ideas shared with perfumer friends that gave birth to instant and spontaneous olfactory poetry.
An adventure made of passion, friendship and love for the perfumes that have involved up to now, the compositional genius of Maurizio Cerizza and Mark Buxton.
It is surprising to discover how easy it is be to empathize the stories, how to feel part of it, because the perfume language does not have anything to envy about music, poetry or painting.
We are astonished by the emotions that the perfume can transmit; real and intense sensations, touch in the soul.
We discover that the first words that come to mind belong to the narration that gave birth to the fragrances, without any conditioning regarding the olfactive pyramid.
The accent is always on top of the fragrance, this is why a true "red accent" is the distinctive graphic element of the Italian brand.

Manu Chao visits Sheriff Joe Arpaio's (Ar-payaso) concentration camp in Maricopa County, Arizona.
I've not been active on this blog for quite awhile, but I hope to start up again. The past few years have been filled with both blessings and sadness. One thing that has remained constant, however, has been a continued struggle to plant the seeds for a better world and a steadfast solidarity with those who will inherit it.
With the recent passage of SB1070 and HB2281 in Arizona, it's imperative that we confront head-on this cancer that eats away at our communities and imperils any possibility of true freedom in this country. Arizona is not an aberration anymore than Mississippi was forty years ago. They only stand out in their naked honesty. It's as the master teacher Gil Scott Heron put it in his classic "Paint It Black":
So we travel to Arizona. Yet, we don't travel to save anyone there. We go because perhaps in joining with the heartbeat of Arizona…that is, our gente living and working in places like South Tucson or–most significantly–the original inhabitants of the land, the Tohono O'odham, we might actually learn something, we might tap into a wisdom that will enable us to save ourselves. And we can connect both those indignities imposed by this border (physically, psychologically, culturally, economically, and–yes–spiritually) and the powerful insight of those forced to confront them on a daily basis with those that afflict us here in the Bay and across the country. In a twist, Arizona might save this society from itself.
So my work with the Eyes on Arizona Collective is vitally important to me. It connects Arizona with the Bay. It connects campus to community. It develops leadership amongst those who are our future. More than a mere exposure program, it's a model to build power. It might not be as dramatic as a big demonstration or an occupation (which seems to be the most popular tactic today) but instead, like the symbol of the hormiga that adorns the buttons and shirts of TYLO, it slowly and subversively builds power so that it might effectively confront power. This departs from the instant gratification approach that posits if you confront power, and make a big media splash along the way, that collective power follows in its wake. By slowly building relationships and trust between faculty and students, between campus (SFSU) and community (local immigrant rights work), between the Bay and Arizona (No More Deaths and TYLO), we're creating something new. Something for the long-haul.
And that is clear to me now more than ever. The need for a long view. Walking those trails in the Sonoran Desert this past summer, you come to learn that many of these trails were traversed by people for multiple generations before there ever was such a thing as a US-Mexico border. Before there was ever such as thing as a United States or a Mexico. These trails were part of a network of people and goods moving between diverse communities. In fact, the border–with its high fences, aerial drones, hyper-militarized Border Patrol, and Israeli-manufactured "virtual fences," violently splits the Tohono O'odham Nation in half. But Brown men and women continue to use them. Today, however, these ancient paths are viewed differently. They're a 21st century Underground Railroad for some. For others, to the State, they're framed as threats to the sanctity of nationhood and national identity. My point, however, is that a long view tells us that we walk on paths (sometimes literally) of those blazed by unknown ancestors before us. And for those to come, we'll continue on those ancient paths. Not just for a better present. But for the long haul.
Finally, on a personal tip, the passing of my brother, Eric, this year underscored to me how precious little time we have on this planet. And in the face of this mortality, two questions echo again and again in my head. The first is one I hear Eric imploring me: are you appreciating and making the most out of every single moment you have today? (And believe me, I'm tryin', brother, I'm tryin'.) But at the same time, there is another: what are you concretely leaving for the coming generations (plural)? I guess there comes a moment when ego, when the present, morphs into a concern for something beyond oneself, beyond this specific moment. That's what I also mean by the long haul. Critique and confrontation today is but a mere tip of the iceberg; it only can get us so far. Media attention is illusory (as well as dangerous) Instead, I'm interested in building upon dreams and imagination, undoubtedly making mistakes in the process but then learning from them, all with the goal of building community and power. Building, again, like those invisible but tenacious hormigas of TYLO. It's not enough to know what you're against (anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-sexism, etc.): what are you for? How are you building the revolution? Is it based on love and humility, or something else? When does the future cease being an abstract concept that you are fighting for and become a matter of life-and-death that you commit to building day-in and day-out.
Eric understood this, I believe. It's a fundamental quality of a revolutionary. It is that which separates the activist (or even the radical) from the revolutionary. And we so desperately need that Revolution today.
"The dreamer is the designer of tomorrow. Practical men… can laugh at him; they do not know that he is the true dynamic force that pushes the world forward. Suppress him, and the world will deteriorate towards barbarism. Despised, impoverished, he leads the way… sowing, sowing, sowing, the seeds that will be harvested, not by him, but by the practical men of tomorrow, who will at the same time laugh at another indefatigable dreamer busy seeding, seeding, seeding." — Ricardo Flores Magon (June 28, 1921)
Miss you, brother.

Pinterest is a Liar!DIY/ DIY Recipes
I blame my daughter's school for this Pinterest disaster. They have the weirdest "politically correct policies". They don't allow the kids to wear costumes on Halloween, you can't bring anything that says 'Merry Christmas', it has to say ' Happy Holidays', and they don't celebrate birthdays. But yet, they're closed for Christopher Columbus day, the man that stole America. I try to be understanding about their rules, but c'mon birthdays? I talked to her teacher about this and she totally agreed. She said that she allows the kids to bring in treats, as long as they're in the kid's backpacks and no one else can see them bringing them in. So I got to thinking, hmm what 20 things can I make/ buy to put in her backpack as a birthday treat that won't kill some kid with a peanut allergy? Eureka! Cake pops! The more I looked up the recipe for these, the more I decided I was going to take the easy route and buy them. Then I saw them, 'Sprinkled Oreo Pops'. They looked amazing, every recipe started with "quick and easy", and some even said "cake pop alternative". I looked up a few recipes and none of them had more than 5 steps. Sounds perfect right?

There are still vacant lots for purchase both on the lake and off-the-lake at our private lake community known as Fishhawk Lake. You can find some that will carry a private contract, terms negotiable. The pricing can range from ridiculously low, say about $10,000 to waterfront at $80,000 currently.
If you don't feel like building right away, that is just fine! You can camp FOREVER if you would like to. Or camp for awhile, sock that money away, pick your plans and THEN build. The Homeowner's Association has certain restrictions to be aware of in your search for the building plans. It must be no smaller than 900 square feet and stick built with a foundation. No manufactured homes and no yurts! (I have been asked about both over the years as the full time resident/realtor at Fishhawk Lake).
Some important points to be aware of:
- You can leave a recreational vehicle on your lot for up to 60 days PER YEAR. That's all. We like to keep our community pristine and that means no blue tarps, no non-working trucks hanging out looking trashy.
- Water and sewer are "available", some lots already have it hooked up, some don't. It will cost you $1,000 per utility for hook-up. Contact the Fishhawk Lake office for information on how to do this: (503)755-2132.
- You can cut trees down for the footprint of the property only unless they are alders.
- Bring your building plans to the architectural committee who meets once a month at the Fishhawk Lake clubhouse. You don't have to have plans to scale, but a good set of drawings, paint chips and anything else that is pertinent would be good to bring with you.
- Any purchase of a home or a vacant lot at Fishhawk Lake will also include a $1,000 transfer fee at closing. The buyer pays this. If you happen to be buying a home with an extra lot, you will owe $2,000 at closing.
- Homeowner's association fees are currently $1442.00 per year and include all of your water and sewer usage as well as all lake amenities. It is the same fee whether you own a vacant lot OR a home at Fishhawk Lake.

For those of you who aren't familiar with beauty in Scandinavia, KICKS is a chain of beauty boutiques where you can find mainly high-end brands (in Norway we don't have Sephora, for example), they also have an online shop and their own range of products. I've tried some of their products before, I love their blushes and a few brushes from them, they also have fantastic body products that smell divine. Actually, me and my boyfriend shop there all the time, so I was really excited when they sent over their summer collection for me to test.
I've been using the products for a few weeks now but I'll still wait a bit longer for some of the skincare reviews and will update you on them later. The collection consists of face masks, moisturiser with SPF, primer, foundation, illuminator, contour kit and lip glosses.
All of these products are part of their S.H.A.R.E. initiative where 1 krone from each KICKS product sold goes to Mental Helse Ungdom, an organisation working for better mental health of young people. You can read more about S.H.A.R.E. here.
One of the first products I tried was the Age Defence Turn Back Time Sun Protection SPF 30* that comes in 50 ml tube and costs 169 kr. It has a lovely apple scent to it and feels really hydrating and smoothing. It looks a bit more shiny on my combination skin at first but sits quite nicely underneath make-up. I sometimes use it on top of my regular moisturiser that doesn't have sun protection and it still works well. It doesn't leave any white residue and doesn't feel heavy. I have to say I really enjoy using this cream at the moment, it's very hot here and I get the protection against sun damage and premature ageing but my skin is nourished, too. Also, a little goes a long way, so you really get a lot at a good price.
Then I'll apply the KICKS Pore Refining Primer* (30 ml, 159 kr). I can say it keeps the skin matte for a couple of hours and minimises pores but I'm still looking for the best primer out there. The product I'm a huge fan of and I can't wait to tell you about is the KICKS Flawless Wear Foundation SPF 20 in 02 Light* (28 ml, 229 kr) and that's also the biggest surprise for me, considering I rarely fall in love with foundations. This product has sheer to medium coverage, it conceals the redness on my cheeks, it's long-wearing and looks beautiful on the skin. It's soft and fresh, it's natural-looking and has a lovely radiant finish without being too shiny even on my oily T-zone. I'm completely in love with this foundation! It doesn't break me out, the shade is great for me and I'd highly recommend checking it out.
The KICKS Illuminator in Hot Sand* (30 ml, 139 kr) is quite an interesting product, it can be used all over the skin, mixed with foundation or applied just to the high points of the face. However, my favourite way of using this product is by mixing it with my body moisturiser and applying it on my legs or shoulders, for example. It gives a soft glow, feels lightweight and has good lasting power.
The new Lip Fusion glosses feel really moisturising thanks to the Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E in the formula. I have them in my handbags quite often and I just wish they were a bit more pigmented, they look great in the tube but the colour doesn't really show up on my lips. There are two shades, Candy* and Delicious* and they can be found at the price of 99 kr each.
I'm sad to say that the Contour Kit* (279 kr) must be my least favourite product here but first of all, I'm not the biggest fan of contouring and second, my combination skin doesn't really get along with cream products. I have to say that there's a nice mirror inside though. There are 4 shades in this kit, dark shades for shading and defining and lighter shades to sculpt and enhance features. The lightest shade is meant to conceal any flaws and highlight the area under the eyes and that's the one I can actually use and like, the blush shade looks fresh and pretty but the cream texture just makes the rest of my make-up underneath move a lot and doesn't look good on me. The two contour shades are a bit too warm for defining, they feel very slippy and I just can't seem to be able to work with such products.
I'll be preparing a separate blog post on the face masks* because I'm really impressed with them, so far but I think I need a bit more time to form an informative opinion. The four face masks are suitable for all skin types, there is a mud mask, a moisturising mask, a soothing one and an exfoliating face mask. Keep an eye on the blog because you might find amazing dupes for popular face masks that you love. Plus, all of these masks are travel-friendly, they need only 10 minutes to work and they are really affordable.
Looks like KICKS are having new body products, as well, so I should check them out once I'm back from my holiday but I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed by most of the products here. Have you tried some of them already?

There's no doubt a young lover can do wonders for ego but, what about relationships divided by huge age gaps, is it natural? Is it right? Many of these sugar grannies and grandpas are drawing their pensions, while their partners are barely legal adults. Just what are their young lovers getting out of these unconventional domestic arrangements?
From boob jobs, to colostomy bags, pension books to nightclubs, in this revealing documentary we'll be seeing how true love can survive, when your other half is old enough to be your parent – or even your grandparent!
Playboy model Cathy Lugner married billionaire Richard Lugner with a 58 year age gap. Sadly, just two years after they married, the couple divorced amicably. As a single mum, Cathy is not only looking for an older man again but someone who could be a father to her daughter Leoni. We find out why her marriage ended and follow Cathy looking for another older man.
When 28-year-old Sarah fell in love with her mother's ex-husband, it caused a huge family rift. They first met at his wedding to her mother, and although they didn't live in the same family home, love blossomed and they've been forced to leave everyone behind. Hiding deep in the New Zealand countryside we find another age gap couple, 47-year-old Sarah, originally from Bristol, and her 22-year-old partner Danyon, who is a friend of her teenage son.
Gay age gap couple 62-year-old Laurence and 26-year-old Sam, have had to come out twice, once about being gay and once about being in an age gap relationship. Sam is a super fit ex-rugby player who used to play for the Saracens, but his much older, much bigger fiancé Laurence isn't into sport, proving that opposites really do attract.

My Rocky Road Recipe, Christmas Candy at It's Finest!
When I was a child, I don't remember a lot of cool holiday traditions. I do remember the baking and the candy. Cookies, pies, fudge, and my favorite, the mother's Rocky Road. It was a delicious candy involving chocolate and marshmallows. What child or adult doesn't love chocolate and marshmallows? That pan of candy goodness was the one tradition I remember clearly (along with some kick ass fudge) and was my childhood favorite.
She never shared the recipe with me, and I never saw her make it. When I grew up, I asked her what was in it. She rattled off a few things and that was that. So, based on what I remembered, I made up my own version of that candy I loved as a child…with my own awesome twist.
Funny story, I once had a boss who LOVED my Rocky Road! He looked forward to it each year. Right before I moved cross country, he asked if I would still send him a batch at Christmas. I think I did for many years…
BONUS! This recipe can be made vegan very easily by simply substituting vegan ingredients. Enjoy!
To save this recipe, right-click the image and choose "save image as…"
Now, I wonder whatever happened to the mother's ancient copy of the blue Betty Crocker Cookbook…there was an amazing recipe for Boston Cream Pie in that book…

In between signing autographs at LAX, Jeff Bridges gave a ray of hope to all the Lebowski lovers out there.
When asked if he was attending this year's Lebowski Fest in Los Angeles, the actor said, "Maybe."
A "maybe" is far from an "abide," but for all the urban achievers out there, that "maybe" may be good enough to get extra excited about this year's fest.
For the uninitiated, Lebowski Fest (April 2-3) is a celebration of the film "The Big Lebowski" (read: white Russians, bowling and nihilists). The fest began in Louisville back in 2002.
Bridges, a.k.a. "The Dude" to festivalgoers, has attended the event before, and described it as his "Beatles moment."
The 60-year-old actor has been drawing a lot of water in this town lately with his award-winning performance in "Crazy Heart." Bridges is considered the safe Oscar bet for this year's best actor in a leading role.
Tickets for Lebowski Fest are on sale now. We're just going to go find a cash machine.

Best B&B in Franschhoek
The best B&B we have stayed in at Franschhoek. Very peaceful, convenient for the restaurants & High Street & with a charming hostess. The room was a little on the small size but the bathroom was spacious. The pool was a bit cloudy so we didn't venture into it. Breakfast was plentiful but I would have liked the food on the sideboard covered.
Judith, gb1 night trip

Marc Faber: Gold and Silver Stocks are Absolutely Undervalued
author Marc Faber this week. As a contrarian or as a value investor, Marc sees reasonable value in the gold mining stocks right now. Government bonds and other assets are essentially inflated, but the gold mining stocks are deflated.
This week we are kicking off the relaunch of Palisade Radio to mark our one year anniversary and over 100,000 views to date. We have put together an all star line up of industry experts that include Jim Rogers, Doug Casey, Eric Sprott, Rick Rule, Frank Holmes, James Turk, and today on the show with us is renowned investor Marc Faber.
When speaking about an imminent stock market correction, Marc Faber argues that since the market hasn't had more than a 10% correction since 2011, it is likely that we will se a 30-40% decline in the not to distant future.
Marc has witnessed many bull markets and crashes in his career. Marc says that bull markets frequently go on for longer than expected, but the current bull market is already very old, and has been going up steeply since 2009 – in other words, more than 5 years old. "The one thing I can say, is that we are in a aging bull market, and the recovery has lasted longer than the typical recovery phase over the past 100 years."
We ask Marc if the Fed's current slowdown in tapering will be reversed in a stock market correction? Marc points out that whenever there is a problem with liquidity in the markets (1988, 2000, 2007), the Fed has stimulated the economy by injecting liquidity, so it's not unlikely that the Fed will again try to support assets markets. The problem is when this goes on long enough, numerous assets aren't affordable for the majority of people. The impact of this may be negative for the economy, because some asset prices may rise disproportionally in comparison to other prices.
On the multi year low in mining equities, Marc says that general assets are very high right now. And the only asset class that in Marc's view are beaten down now are the gold and silver mining shares. When looking at the Dow Jones Index in comparison to the GDXJ(junior gold mining stocks index), the underperformance from the GDXJ has been colossal. As a contrarian or as a value investor, Marc sees reasonable value in the gold mining stocks right now. Government bonds and other assets are essentially inflated, but the gold mining stocks are deflated.
Speaking on the influx on gold into Asia... Marc thinks it's an interesting situation, because in the west we have rumors of central bank's manipulation of the gold market to keep the price depressed. Marc believes that these rumors are insensible – the West should want to sell their gold at a high price, not at a low price point.
Finally, in the last 20 years, there has been a huge increase of wealth in Asia. The increase in gold purchases in Asia, comes from a growing population, and a population which is increasingly affluent. Marc says that in terms of the Asian stock markets, they are relatively depressed in comparison to the US stock markets, and there is better value there.
Dr Faber publishes a widely read monthly investment newsletter "The Gloom Boom & Doom Report" report which highlights unusual investment opportunities, and is the author of several books including " TOMORROW'S GOLD – Asia's Age of Discovery" which was first published in 2002 and highlights future investment opportunities around the world. " TOMORROW'S GOLD " was for several weeks on Amazon's best seller list and is being translated into Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai and German. Dr. Faber is also a regular contributor to several leading financial publications around the world.
Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.

About Me
Hello there! I'm Kathy and I have spent the last seven years working with seniors and their families as a private transportation service provider in Los Angeles. In that role, I became an advisor to the adult children and their parents on everything from transportation needs, managing dementia care, dealing with depression due to loneliness and just navigating their new roles as caregiver and caree.
In addition to my work with seniors and caregivers, I am in a unique position of occasionally being the caree. I have a chronic illness that goes through flares and when I am in a flare, I need to learn to lean on my wonderful husband and accept support. It is incredibly difficult and humbling for someone with a Type A personality to admit to needing help. A positive spin is, it enables me to better understand the challenges seniors have in accepting their new role as caree.
I am a member of the Older Adult Task Force in Los Angeles, the Southern California Volunteer Driver Coalition and I have also received a certificate from the Schmeiding Foundation for Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care.
I am a wife and mother of two young boys and have found joy in working with my seniors. I hope this website will be a destination for caregivers and seniors to learn how to adapt to the challenges and joys of caring for their parents.
If you have any questions, or would like to reach out to me, email me at:
caregivingmadeeasy @ gmail. com
