My Master Bo Ou Mander
Bo grew up in China during the cultural revolution, attending a martial arts boarding school from the age of 8. Following a four year degree course specialising in the teaching of the Chinese martial arts, she went to Beijing to deepen her study of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. She had individual training from some of the masters responsible for well known forms including Li Tian Ji, who designed the 24, 48, 66, 88 Tai Chi forms and the 32 Tai Chi Sword form. Also Kan Gei Xiang at The Peking Physical Education Institute, inventor of the 36 Chen Style Tai Chi form.
In my opinion on of the greatest living martial artists. Stephen K Hayes the first American Ninja, body guard to the Dali Lama
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning fitness methodology. Its stated goal is to create "the quintessential athlete, equal parts gymnast, Olympic weightlifter and sprinter. Crossfit is not sport-specific and promotes broad and general overall physical fitness.
Cross fit doubled my liftng ability and took my arm measurement from 13 inches to 15.

The Worlds Largest, Oldest and most Successful Masonic Publisher
Lewis Masonic is a long established firm, founded in 1886, specializing in the publication of Masonic texts. Then called A Lewis, the focus of the company was exclusively on ritual books from Masonic Craft degrees through to the Masonic side orders. In 1973, A Lewis became part of Ian Allan Publishing and the name was changed from 'A Lewis' to 'Lewis Masonic'. Nowadays, ritual books are still kept a priority at Lewis Masonic but the company's focus has expanded to cover all areas of Masonic publishing.

Philippa Faulks
Author, researcher and historical adventurer, Philippa's love of the spiritual arts and ancient mysteries has led her to write books on diverse subjects. In her first book The Masonic Magician - The Life and Death of Count Cagliostro and his Egyptian Rite she and her co-author, Robert Cooper, immersed themselves in the life of one of Europe's most fascinating enigmas: the alchemist and Freemason Count Alessandro Cagliostro. Her research has led to extraordinary Hermetic discoveries which have encouraged her to write a companion volume specially dedicated to the ancient Egyptian path called The Quest for Hermes (publication 2010). Her other books include The Secrets of Meditation, A Handbook for the Freemason's Wife and Henna Magic (due 2010) .
She is also my wife and the love of my life :)

The Yoshida Brothers were born and bred in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. Each picked up the shamisen at the tender age of five, and began studying Tsugaru shamisen under Takashi Sasaki I in 1990. After sweeping prizes at national Tsugaru shamisen conventions, the brothers made their major debut in 1999. The debut album sold over 100,000 copies, which is an extraordinary figure for a traditional folk music release.
