EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND http://www.zazzle.com/rossheywood/gifts?cg=196306623959773530?rf=238721890077113262 UPDATE! I heard on the radio this morning (March 2nd) that it could take 15 years to rebuild Christchurch and the bill could be over $10 Billion. My account has $3.81 in it now from sales. I thank those people. Every bit counts. Ross All earnings from this Ross Heywood's Zazzle Store section will be donated to the Earthquake Relief Fund in New Zealand. New Zealand suffered one of its worst natural disasters when a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the second-biggest city called Christchurch on 22nd February. A 7.1 magnitude shake also struck Christchurch on September 4, 2010, causing damage but no deaths. This time the shallow quake, just two miles below the surface, caused several office blocks to collapse as well as destroyed a 110-year-old Anglican cathedral. I know a little about New Zealand.

I can forget about everything else when I watch a good movie. I was a passionate moviegoer in the past. Back then I had months when I watched movies every day counting with home video. I was told by American friends that I knew more about c
