There has been a wake and revolution of African-American creators, writers, producers, and all around game changers. With the recent success of creators like Lena Waithe & Issa Rae, we have all been curious and intrigued by Television and film creators. Seeing relatable black women create successful, tasteful, and lucrative TV has inspired many of us to shoot for the stars. These monumental moments in cultural and entertainment history have opened our eyes to a world that we never thought we would see ourselves a part of. The television and film industry is notorious for being run by white men. In 2017, it was reported that only about 5 percent of TV writers were African-Americans. If African-Americans only consist of 5%, we can only imagine how many of them were black women.
During Ava Duvernay's press run for A Wrinkle In Time, she emphasized that this is only the beginning of true inclusivity for people of color. We have come so far but we've got some ways to go. Over here at Live Civil, we pride ourselves on providing our readers with resourceful content. We wanted to get the scoop for you all on what it takes to write and create a hit TV series so we sat down with creator & screenwriter Ester Lou for the gems.
Ester Lou is most known for her role as a writer on the hit FOX series, Star. Star is an American musical drama television series created by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy. It revolves around three talented young singers who navigate the music business on their road to success. Star recently took over Wednesday nights on TV by attaining higher ratings than ABC's Modern Family. Her career in entertainment began after college when she worked at Lifetime in their corporate communications department. Since then Esther has worked in scheduling and programming at VH1, was an assistant at Nickelodeon, a PA on House of Lies, and an intern turned co-creator with Black & Sexy TV.
Ester got her big break through a fellowship with Fox where she went through a 4-month intensive process of working on a new pilot and learning how to pitch. The fellowship ended with a pitching contest where fellows were able to pitch to Fox executives. Ester won the fellowship and got her first staffing job on Pitch, she then went on to land a position with Empire and now Star. In this interview, Ester walks us through her personal journey to becoming a television writer. She talks about what it's like to be a woman of color in the writer's room, how to pitch, how to get good at script writing, the sacrifices that she had to make to become successful in the industry, and much more.
Walk us through a typical day as a TV writer on the set of Star…
At the start of the season before production we are discussing the season, the characters, everyone is pitching ideas for what we want to see for the season. Typically the showrunner has a vision and we're just pitching ideas to help execute that. That happens in the first week or week and a half. After that, we start settling in on some specific ideas and the big moments that we want to see happen in the season (The creation of story arcs and character arcs happens during this time).
As we get closer to production we start making the ideas more concrete and that's when we start talking about what happening episode by episode. We're all sharing ideas and we are all pitching different ideas. It's very free-flowing. It is my favorite part of the room because it is so chill and anything is possible! When it's just about time for production episodes & scripts are assigned to different writers. This is when people start to leave the writers room to go write their script alone in their office.
Once we start shooting, people start going to set to actually produce their episodes. This is when the pace and energy begin to heighten because the clock is ticking. At this point, we're thinking about production, budgets, actors, and schedules. It's a little more hectic towards the end but before you know it the last episode is being filmed!
What type of stories do you like to tell?
I love to tell stories about people who are accidental heroes, who weren't necessarily trained or positioned or elevated to the status of hero but life happened and extraordinary circumstances brought out the best in them and before they know it they become a hero to themselves and the people in their lives.
How do you handle rejection when it comes to pitching your ideas?
Your job as a writer is to fulfill the vision of the showrunner and creator of the show. It is not your show. Unless it is a show that you actually created, it is not your show. You can pitch an idea and see how the room responds to it. If they don't like it and you happen to feel very strongly about it, you can find an opportunity to strategically pitch it again later on. If that doesn't work you have to move on and let it go.
If they don't receive the idea then it's not received. Someone else can even pitch something similar to your idea with a tweak and it would work. At the end of the day, you have to not take it personally unless you feel like someone is batting down every idea you have. If they don't accept your idea it is cool, that is not the story that they want to tell and that is fine. Go back and think of something else.
When working as a PA, how did you go about letting the company know that you were interested in screenwriting?
I was always writing and working on a script as a PA. However, when you are a PA in the writer's room it was understood that you are an aspiring writer. If you happen to get a job further away from the writers you should always be writing. When I worked for House Of Lies, the writers knew that when the set was closed Esther was in the office because she is working on a script. Every job I had known that I was working on a script. They knew that when I had downtime that is exactly what I was doing and that is what you're supposed to be doing. People are always watching you, even if they don't comment on you or anyone else they are watching you.
I would also as if I could read a script or come in for a table read. Sometimes they said no but at least they knew where my interests were and that I was trying to grow and expand my knowledge. Always ask questions because you never know until you say something. Aspiring writers should also find someone who had a similar path, those are the people who will look out for you. The writers PA in my room at Star is my homie because I have done his job and I understand what it is and what it takes. Especially now in this climate, there are more black writers, people are looking out for each other.
You didn't stay at a job that didn't fulfill your creativity. You constantly took risks throughout your career until you were satisfied. Can you talk about the importance of taking risks even when they feel uncomfortable?
Your best life is on the other side of comfort. It does not live within the confines of comfort. There are going to be people around you who don't understand what you're doing and don't understand what you're chasing. You have to be able to have enough confidence and enough strength in yourself to not let those people and their fears and the confines that they place on their life influence you. As long as you have a plan for your passion it will pay off.
What was your biggest risk?
Moving to LA because I loved New York. Television writing is one of those careers where you have to move to LA. You can do production in other cities but if you want to work in television specifically you have to live in Los Angeles. There was not a lot drawing me there but I realized comfort would be my prison and years from now. I did not want to look back at my life and wonder what would have happened if I moved to LA.
What made you take the big leap?
I just got to a point where mediocrity was just so unsatisfying and disgusting. I felt like I could do more and that I could be more. When that happens you'll be willing to take that risk, no matter what. If you chase it and fail, I guarantee that you will get some benefit from it or you may end up on another path that you didn't even know was out there for you. There is never any real failure at risk, only divergent paths.
What do you suggest people do before quitting their job and risking it all?
Make sure you work your pocketbook. I'm not going to get into anyone's pocketbook but make sure you figure that part out. I emptied out my 401K, I would not recommend that to anyone else. It's paying off now but it worked out. Sometimes when you take a huge risk it places pressure on you to be super focused and disciplined because you've already risked it all. You don't have any other choice but to succeed because failure is not an option.
We love how extreme and intense Star is, it always takes the viewers on a crazy roller coaster. What do you love most about writing for Star?
One of the best things about working with Lee Daniels is that you have the opportunity to tell stories that aren't always told on television and you get to do it in a way that is exhilarating. We always go for it. I have also always loved music, I planned to work for a record label in college so it's cool to show up on set and it's a fictional record label. It feels like I made it in the music business after all!
The young ladies are also amazing, Jude, Brittney, and Ryan. They put in serious work. They rehearse back to back, learn lines, and choreography. So to live that girl group fantasy through them is really amazing. I have a great time doing that.
Why do you think that it is important for companies to have writers of color in the writing room?
At the end of the day, you want to have representation in the writer's room so that you can have a true representation on the screen. Where we are in our culture right now there are so many so many different people of so many different backgrounds that have amazing stories that have yet to be told. I think we are moving in that direction more and more, the politics and the profit have proven to be has proven to be lucrative for companies. They are understanding that the money is there and they are being shamed when the representation is not there.
S/O to Black Twitter, we will call you out and I so appreciate that. I think that is a major part of the reason why we are seeing that shift. Companies are learning, some are embracing it and some are learning the hard way. Either way, we are here and we are not going anywhere. Our stories will be told, we will tell them ourselves and we will do it with excellence and authenticity.
Have you ever been the only woman of color in the room? Can you tell us about that experience?
I was the only black woman in the writer's room on Pitch, which was about a female baseball player. That was my first show so I wasn't really sure what my role was in the room. I knew our show was about a black woman and that I was the only black woman. I felt a sense of responsibility and expertise but those two things have to be weighed within the context of the job that you are hired to do. It's a balancing act of working with the story that they want to tell vs. what I thought the story should be. That was a balancing act for me and something that I had to learn.
Fortunately, in that room, my thoughts and my ideas were very receptive. I have had colleagues who were in the same scenario and their ideas have not been receptive. It can go either way, every writer's room is different. I put a lot of pressure on myself but I had a writing group full of black women supporting and letting me know what was realistic and what wasn't.
Talk to us about your experience when it came to working with other people of color who were not black?
I have been in situations where I have been in a room and I have spoken up for another character that was a minority but not a black woman. People looked at me like, "This is not one of yours. Why are you speaking up?". There are similarities and a community. At the end of the day the mainstream is typically white caucasian and then there's the rest of us. So we look out for each other. If I see you saying something wack about a Latino man or a latino women I am going to comment on it.
What are the complexities that come with being a television writer and woman of color?
My counterparts can just pitch an idea. They don't have to think about anything else if they have a good idea they can just go for it. I would always have to pitch an idea but I would have to think about if it was good on the black front, woman front, immigrant front, etc. I juggle all my critiques so that they can be constructive and received well.
What advice do you have for people of color in the writer's room who want to speak up but don't know how?
Understand why you were hired, some people are hiring you specifically because they want your black voice. Some rooms, unfortunately, you will realize that you were hired because you are simply there to check a box for HR purposes, and you see that they really don't want to hear what you have to say. The first thing you should do is figure out what is your role in the writer's room and find a way to strategically do your job and find ways to make sure those characters are authentic and complex.
Your diplomacy game and your political strategic communications game have to be on point because it will be hard to get your point across if you're just attacking people in the room. So you have to find a way to fix problems with a story solution. Know how to communicate to the people in the room so that you can get the result that you want.
How do you feel about internships and/or working for free?
I interned on a lot of jobs for free. You must be clear about what you want to get out of it. Work hard to get that thing out of it and then be out. When I interned I let them know that I would work for free if I am able to shadow the director and the editor. Internships are supposed to be an exchange. Know the worth of your values. We joke sometimes in the writer's room if someone has a good idea, they say they are going to save that for their pilot. All though we are joking it really isn't a joke at all, you know you're golden egg and gold mine ideas. Don't ever give that up! The idea that is going to take you to the top, don't share that with anybody.
What's next for you?
I am working on some of my own material right now, production on Star is coming to a close. I am very excited to write dramatic thrillers starring black women so stay tuned!
What do you want the world to know about Esther Lou?
I want to expand the spectrum of blackness in the world and in pop culture. I feel as though we are in an amazing time where there are a variety of black woman on the screen in literature, small or big. The spectrum of blackness is expanding people are seeing more of who we truly are, the different sides of us, the different versions of us and I am so excited to be apart of that. That is my goal in everything that I write, whether it is my own idea or someone else's.
What type of stories do you like to tell?
I love to tell stories about people who are accidental heroes, who weren't necessarily trained or positioned or elevated to the status of hero but life happened and extraordinary circumstances brought out the best in them and before they know it they become a hero to themselves and the people in their lives.

Those of you who have travelled through Leeds Bradford airport will know that it is not exactly the best airport in the world. Sure, it serves a purpose for the local area, but with some nasty surprises such as the 'kiss and drop' tax and the lack of facilities within the airport, there is certainly room for improvement.
3.3 million people each year use the airport and with it being such a popular hub for Jet2 and other low cost airlines that are currently expanding, the need for a bigger airport that can truly rival the likes of Manchester and Newcastle is clear.
If the airport continues to grow, the knock-on effects on other transport links and other business opportunities means that the whole of Leeds (and Bradford!) would surely benefit.
Despite this, airport expansion is typically a painfully slow process in the UK, with the uncertain status over future developments at London airports a case in point. Given that Leeds is expecting to see a doubling of passenger numbers by 2030, now is the time real discussions to start as to how best to get the airport up to scratch.
One thing that must of course be looked into is the impact on the local environment; the Chevin area and the beautiful parks and countryside in the Yeadon and Rawdon areas need to be impacted upon to as small an extent as possible.
With over 30 hectares of greenbelt land being released for development as the plans stand, we have to hope that the plans help to shape the airport so that the environmental cost is not a wasted one. This will all be vital in ensuring that people can choose Leeds Bradford airport over other, bigger options, helping to boost our local area in the process.

Dead In The Water - The Sinking of the USS Liberty
Those who consider it unthinkable that the UNITED STATES government and the
ISRAELI government would fake a terror attack killing thousands to initiate
a war to benefit those controlling these governments should listen to the
sound track of the LOSS OF LIBERTY (Direct link for download:
It will take 2 hours to download with a 56k modem but it is worth it. This is
the account of how the 1967 WAR was started wherein all the Palestinian lands
now in dispute were taken and how Israel tried to sink an American ship and
blame it on the Egyptians. The US government was clearly a party to this
During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American
intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international
waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died
and 172 were wounded.
The attack has been a matter of controversy ever since. Survivors and many
key government officials including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former
JCS Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer say it was no accident. Israel and its
supporters insist it was a "tragic case of misidentification" and charge
that the survivors are either lying or too emotionally involved to see the
Israel claims they mistook our ship for the out-of-service Egyptian horse
carrier El Quseir and that we brought the attack upon ourselves by
operating in a war zone without displaying a flag. Not so. We were in
international waters, far from any fighting, and flew a bright, clean, new
American flag. The flag we flew is on display at the National Cryptologic

During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American
intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international
waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died
and 172 were wounded.
Yet the most pressing question remaining from that infamy is not whether
the attack was deliberate. That was settled long ago for most
reasonable people. The question is why Israel risked its cozy
relationship with America by killing American seaman on the high seas.
His brother died a hero on the ship's bridge when Israeli forces launched
an unprovoked aircraft and torpedo attack on the USS Liberty during the
Six Day War with Egypt in 1967.
>From Admiral Thomas H. Moorer:
I have never believed that the attack on the USS Liberty was
a case of mistaken identity. That is ridiculous. I have
flown over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, thousands of
hours, searching for ships and identifying all types of
ships at sea. The Liberty was the ugliest, strangest looking
ship in the U.S. Navy. As a communications intelligence
ship, it was sprouting every kind of antenna. It looked like
a lobster with all those projections moving every which way.
As survivors have frequently pointed out, Liberty men were not permitted
to speak freely and were directed to reply only to the questions asked.
Some men who wished to testify were not permitted to do so. George Golden,
who was the second ranking man to survive the attack, was severely limited
in the testimony he was permitted to provide. Jim Ennes, who was Officer
of the Deck during most of the daylight reconnaissance and could
personally testify to the closeness and frequency of overflying aircraft
and other key details, provided a sworn statement from his hospital bed,
but this statement was not permitted into evidence. Jim's hand-written
deck logs for his watch were key evidence, but they were not entered into
the record. Instead, they were rewritten and signed by someone else, which
is a violation of Navy Regulations.

Miami-Dade County
Poll: Gimenez leading Miami-Dade mayoral race, but undecided takes top spot
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez enjoys a sizable lead over challenger Raquel Regalado in his bid for reelection, according to a new poll that also found strong support for the massive mall he recruited to the county and his body-camera program for police.
Regalado, heir to one of the most prominent names in Miami politics, trailed Gimenez by 23 points in a survey done by Bendixen & Amandi International for the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald. Of the 600 registered county voters polled on their pick in the mayoral race, 40 percent chose Gimenez and 17 percent chose Regalado, a two-term school board member and daughter of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado.
While Gimenez easily topped his lone challenger in the survey, 43 percent of respondents opted not to pick a candidate. That left Gimenez, in office since 2011, the second-place finisher behind the undecided category with 13 months to go before the August 2016 primary that could decide the race.
"I think it says that the mayor is still vulnerable to a challenger," Fernand Amandi said of his Coconut Grove firm's poll. "Its just that the poll doesn't seem to suggest Raquel Regalado is that challenger."
The poll did not include County Commissioner Xavier Suarez as an option. The former Miami mayor said he is considering a Gimenez challenge in 2016. Regalado is the only elected official to file for the mayoral race, though Gimenez has said he is running for a second — and final — four-year term.
The poll was conducted July 8-14, on the heels of Gimenez's July 7 announcement of a 2016 budget proposal with flat tax rates and expanded services funded through a windfall in property revenues. A Gimenez political aide dismissed the high number of undecideds as mostly a measure of how early it is in the election cycle. Regalado noted a Bendixen poll of likely voters in January showed her within six points of Gimenez.
The latest survey showed Gimenez beating Regalado in every demographic group, including a 36-19 percentage point advantage with female voters. If elected, Regalado would be the first female mayor of Miami-Dade.
"We haven't started our campaign, but I am confident that once we do and inform Miami-Dade County residents about Carlos Gimenez's record and about my record, I will win this election," Regalado said in a statement.
Jesse Manzano-Plaza, the consultant working for a Gimenez political committee, said in his statement: "The fact that Mayor Gimenez leads among all demographics in this poll 13 months before the election, shows that Miami-Dade residents across the county support his strong leadership and responsible budgeting principles."
Voters gave Gimenez a 50 percent job-approval rating, with 39 percent disapproving of his performance as mayor. On countywide issues, they largely approve of various initiatives that Gimenez has either championed or supported in public comments:
▪ Gimenez spent a year negotiating a land-sale deal for American Dream Miami, a 4 million-square-foot entertainment and shopping destination that would bring the nation's largest mall to Northwest Miami-Dade, near Miami Lakes and Hialeah.
The project has been hailed as an historic boost for Miami-Dade's employment base, and also slammed as a pending traffic nightmare. Regalado chose the mall as the subject of her first single-issue campaign video, criticizing Gimenez on the project a few days before officially joining the race. "We should focus on diversifying the economy" instead of pursuing more low-wage retail and hospitality jobs, Regalado said.
In the poll, 67 percent of respondents said they approved of the "MegaMall Project," while 27 percent opposed.
Sara Rodriguez, 49-year-old banker in Kendall, was one of the respondents who supported the mall. "I think it's a good idea. It will bring some jobs to the area," she said. And the added traffic? "I live in Kendall," she said. "It's going to be far away from here."
▪ The poll was completed before Friday's announcement by Tomás Regalado of an agreement with David Beckham and partners to begin talks for a soccer stadium on city property next to Marlins Park. Gimenez was Beckham's leading political patron in early 2014, when the soccer star wanted to put a stadium on the county's PortMiami.
That deal fizzled, and on Friday Beckham partner Marcelo Claure confirmed that the Marlins Park area is the now the group's preferred site. While the University of Miami had been in talks with Beckham about partnering in a larger stadium that could also accommodate the school's football team, Claure on Friday said the city negotiations will only be for a soccer venue to be built with private dollars.
A joint UM-Beckham stadium next to Marlins Park enjoyed overwhelming support in the poll, with 78 percent in favor and 18 percent against.
▪ Miami-Dade voters gave strong support to legalizing Uber and its smaller competitor, Lyft. The companies rely on freelance drivers using their own cars, booking passengers exclusively through cellphone apps. Fares are based on demand, with prices fluctuating throughout the day.
The companies compete with taxis, and need changes to local for-hire regulations to operate. The taxi industry sees Uber and Lyft as unfair competition, since they wouldn't be subject to regulations requiring 24-hour insurance coverage, flat fares, cash transactions and other rules.
Efforts to pass pro-Uber legislation have died at the county commission, and Miami-Dade regulators are issuing citations to the companies' drivers. Gimenez endorses legalizing the companies' business practices, and the poll shows public support for that position. Seventy percent of respondents endorse "allowing private rideshare such as Uber and Lyft to operate legally in Miami-Dade County." Twenty-five percent opposed.
▪ For more than a year, Gimenez has waged a high-profile fight against Miami-Dade's police union over purchasing body cameras for patrol officers. Union leaders criticized the plan as prioritizing expensive technology for an under-staffed police force just to score political points. But with the White House and civil-rights groups touting cameras as a way to address police misconduct claims, Gimenez argued the devices could help avoid the kind of racial trauma seen in Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo.
The poll found strong support for body cameras, with 77 percent in favor and 19 percent against.
Both Gimenez and Regalado are Republicans, and the Bendixen & Amandi firm is a leading Democratic pollster in the Miami area. Amandi said the survey shows a Democrat has a good shot at challenging Gimenez, given there's the potential for the next mayor to be elected the same day a massive Democratic turnout is expected in Miami-Dade for the 2016 presidential election.
Aside from Suarez, an independent, former commission chairman Joe Martinez is the only prominent politician to say publicly he is considering a Gimenez challenge. Martinez failed to unseat Gimenez in the 2012 mayoral race, and lost in a Republican congressional primary last year.
Countywide offices face non-partisan primaries on Aug. 30, 2016, and anyone topping 50 percent wins outright and avoids a November run-off on Election Day. In a two-person race, that makes the primary decisive since there isn't a way for multiple candidates to deny the front-runner a majority of the vote.
"I'm getting a lot of support for the idea of running for mayor," Suarez said. "I don't feel this is a good time to decide."

Roy Halston Frowick, as known as Halston, was known to be an iconic outfit designer of the 1970s. Moreover, his design known to be sexy, yet elegant when it comes to dresses were a major staple in American discos.
In the 1970s, Halston became an iconic clothing designer. Moreover, this designer was born on April 23, 1932, in Des Moines, Iowa. In fact, his first trial in designing was in hats designing. However, the things that made him famous, were his dresses. In fact, the dresses he designed were sexy as well as streamlined, and appropriate to be worn to high-strung nights on a disco floor. However, after spending two decades of dressing the jet-set, the designer was diagnosed with AIDS, and he passed away in 1990.
Professional Career
Halston's hat designs were the reason for him to be brought to whimsy. In fact, he used everything to decorate coifs, hoods, and bonnets such as jewels, flowers and fringe. Moreover, it took him one year to be hired in order to serve as head milliner for a luxury retailer called Bergdorf Goodman. Furthermore, the one who made him famous was Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore a pillbox hat of his design to her husband's presidential inauguration in 1961. As a result, his clients became ones of the well-known people in that time such as: Rita Hayworth, Liza Minnelli, Marlene Dietrich and Diana Vreeland.
Women Wear Designing
In fact, he began designing women's wear in 196. Halston offered a perfect look for the famous women of his era. Moreover, His works of design were known to be for sexy, yet elegant. Additionally, in 1972, Halston introduced a simple shirtwaist dress that was made from a fabric that was durable as well as washable called "Ultra suede," for the fall season. In fact, it was only two years later that he offered the world his most famous dress that was his trademark, "The Halter Dress".

SPOTLIGHT ON: Jean Erhardt
How did you get involved in the Authors Supporting Our Troops event?
I learned about this worthy effort from my writer pal, Shawn Chesser, who is the author of an amazing zombie apocalypse series. I jumped at the chance to join in.
What is your latest release and what genre is it?
I write the Kim Claypoole mystery series. The first book, Small Town Trouble, was released in 2013. Book two (cover and title reveal soon!) is due out in May.
Quick description of it.
In Small Town Trouble, we get acquainted with Kim Claypoole's irreverent and witty ways of dealing with the peculiar characters and events that she finds in her life.
Claypoole's adventure begins as she leaves her home in the Smoky Mountains to help save her kooky mother Evelyn from financial disaster. Setting off to assist Evelyn (i.e., "the other Scarlett O'Hara") with her newest personal crisis, Claypoole leaves in her wake her Gatlinburg doublewide, her restaurant, The Little Pigeon and her restaurant partner and sometimes best friend Mad Ted Weber as well as a budding secret love affair that's hotter than an Eskimo in July.
Claypoole's savior complex leads to more trouble when she bumps into an old flame in her hometown who asks for her help clearing her hapless brother of murder charges. In true Claypoole fashion, she gets more than she bargained for when she gets dragged into a complicated quest to find the true killer complete with topless tavern dancers, small town cops, a stream of backwater characters-even a meeting with the Grim Reaper.
Something unique about it.

The Great Barrier Reef, Or, Laughter and Seasickness and Jellyfish -- But No Regrets
On December 27th we arrived in Cairns and it was immediately my favorite place in Australia. Humid and drizzly, surrounded by turquoise water and purple hills, a low fog hanging over sailboats moored in the small harbor. It brought back so many memories of my life on South. The town was smaller than I'd expected, so fewer hordes of people than Sydney or Melbourne (yay!). We walked around town and got Chinese on a porch restaurant overlooking the harbor, a heavy tropical rain pouring down just a few feet away. It was hot, with outdoor ceiling fans providing a slight cool. Then us girls swam in the pool and we all figured out a game plan for the next few days. Tiera, Kendra, and I were off for a three and a half day dive trip while Mom, Dad, and Kyla were going to snorkel closer to shore and head back to Sydney a day earlier. It wasn't fun splitting up on our vacation but I was beyond excited to be diving the biggest reef on earth. It's been on my life to-do list for years, so it was surreal to finally be there.
The reef is huge (2,300 km long - visible from outer space) and while the Inner Reef hugs the coastline, the Outer Reef is a full day offshore. Since the Inner is so much easier to get it, it is heavily frequented by tourists so much so that much of the biodiversity has been degraded. Divers all say that to really experience the Barrier Reef, you have to dive the Outer. Hence the need to spend three days on a boat. So Monday morning, the three of us packed up our gear and headed to port to board our floating home for the next few days.
The first few hours we toured the boat, settled into our cabins, and did various dive and safety orientations while we steamed to our first dive site. We stopped on the Inner reef to do an introductory/check-out dive and after coming aboard afterwards, I began to not feel very good. I had taken motion sickness medicine too late in the afternoon and within thirty minutes I really did not feel well. I went back to our cabin - luckily Tiera, Kendra, and I had a quad-share but no one in the fourth bunk - and tried to ignore the fact that I was on a steadily rocking boat. I wanted to just get sick and get it over with or get off the boat, anything to make me feel better. I was literally contemplating how I could get a helicopter to come out to get me -- I would have paid a lot of money to get off the boat. But we were too far offshore to go back and there was no landing pad ... so I was stuck. I skipped dinner and the second dive, afraid I would throw up while gearing up, and just laid in my bunk. At some point I fell asleep and when I woke up fourteen hours later, I had adjusted to the rocking and felt much better. Also, I learned to constantly take medicine whether I felt bad or not. (And now, I am so thankful that I couldn't get off the boat.)
Thus began our days of diving. One of the crew would come downstairs and knock on our cabins at 6:30 AM as a wake up call, a light breakfast was set out and then we dove at 6:45 AM. We'd come back to the boat to ravenously scarf down a hot "second brekkie" at 8:30 AM, sit around for a bit and dive again at 9:45 AM. Then lunch, another dive, snack, another dive, dinner, and a night dive. Diving every 2-3 hours was actually kind of tiring, plus the quandary of whether to change in and out of dry clothes or just sit on the sundeck in a swimsuit. But wearing a wet swimsuit in the air conditioned dining hall was a bit cold - especially after being 70 ft under for an hour. The downtime we had was spent reading (or sleeping) on the sundeck, chatting with our fellow divers, downloading the most recent dive's photos on the GoPro, napping in our bunks, reapplying sunscreen, or watching the unending horizon.
That trip I crossed off two items from my bucket list: diving the Great Barrier Reef, and being so far out in the ocean that you can't see land. At first it was a little unnerving, but then it was just peaceful to be so far removed from city lights and pavement, telephone wires and smog.
Main street in Cairns
Our dive boat - sun deck in the back for warming up after diving or enjoying a few hours of sun, the "tender" in the water ready to pick you up if you surface too far from the boat. When I took this picture, we were just finishing up a dive and getting ready to move to the next dive site - the tender is still waiting in case the last ones out of the water need a pick up.
The dive deck. We are just getting ready to go out again so Kendra is putting on her dive booties and fins. Tiera, Kendra, and I's dive gear are the 3 BCDs behind Kendra - we would dive and then strap them back in here so the crew could refill the tanks before our next dive. Everything on this deck had to be strapped in when we steamed to our next dive site - loose gear could fly off the back of the boat (to the right).
Another view of the dive deck from the back, and Tiera getting ready for a dive. Because we had to walk down the narrow staircase with our tanks on, the crew would have our fins for us at the bottom of the stairs. This was taken at the dive site Cod Hole, and you can already see the cod circling when the camera goes underwater!
All set for another dive!
Gorgeous reef.
We watched this guy napping on the bommie and then wake up and start swimming to the surface
Trip of a lifetime ... diving with my sisters
Cod Hole, the infamous dive site. The cod get quite rowdy since they know there is food around -- it was actually a bit intimidating just because they are so BIG. We were warned not to gesture with our hands because they will think we are food.
Evidence of sharks! These lemon sharks were swimming off the back of the boat the first night of our trip (when I didn't feel so hot). We saw others while we were diving but there were about 5 of them this night all together.
One night the winds and waves were getting strong right as they served dinner, which happened to be lamb, quinoa, roasted vegetables, and naan. I was doing okay eating my lamb while the boat was rocking, but it was taking a lot of willpower to tell myself that. Since the storm was getting closer, the captain said we better move up our night dive so we could at least go before it got worse. At that point, my stomach said I needed much more time to digest before I would be ready to get in the water. But somehow, 30 minutes later I found myself jumping into the dark ocean with a tank on my back and dive light on my wrist.
Our dinner that night was actually quite amusing: dinner was always a plated affair, served by the crew, who also poured sodas and drinks besides the typical water. When you are warm and dry and eating a delicious dinner, going diving again does not always sound so fun. When the crew came in to tell us about the storm and that the dive entrance/exit would be challenging, but still possible, most everyone said they would pass. One serious diver said he wanted to go. As dishes were cleared and people headed in different directions for the evening, there was the typical chatter over the incoming storm and the dive and who was going to go. Tiera, Kendra, and I really just wanted to stay in our sweatshirts but were feeling tugged that this might be something we would regret. Then a high-energy thirty-something from California said he would go if someone else would. On the other side of the boat, a mid-sixties dad and his two adult children, had their own conversation and decided that they would go but didn't want to make the crew stop if they were the only ones. We finally said "Why not?! We'll go". And a Canadian downstairs convinced his fourteen year old daughter to go with him so he could go as well. Suddenly there was a whole group of us willing to brave the night waters for whatever might be down there.
We donned our gear with high winds outside, the boat rocking so hard it was near impossible to stay balanced. We strapped fluorescent tubes to our tanks so we could see each other underwater, and passed out yellow dive lights. Walking down the stairs of the dive deck, waiting to jump in, the sky was black black and endless, the waves angry and white-capped. A slew of crows sat gripping our mooring line, which seemed ominous and a little eerie. It was a high-adrenaline, high-excitement night for those of us going.
Once we jumped in, signaled OK, and sank beneath the surface it was another world - silent, dark, still. At first glance. When we reached the bottom and began swimming through the coral heads, there was all sorts of activity. Reef fish sleeping in their mucus-lined bubbles, other fish awake and prowling, giant eels peering out of crevices, sea cucumbers inching across the sand, a two-foot-long lobster seeing us and backing away with speed you wouldn't imagine. And the coral, beautiful and still as always. When we got back to the boat, we stayed below the turbulent surface until the last possible minute, swimming up to the ladder and trying to grab it while still under. When back on the boat, the wonderful crew had hot water for us to rinse and warm up in, and within the hour we pretty much all collapsed into bed.
On several of our dives I had been feeling little pinches which I assumed was nothing, or just fish. Later, I saw some red bumps on my legs and I figured I must have gotten a few bug bites. It got progressively worse until at one dive site, I felt something sting my face and realized I wasn't making this up anymore. I inspected the water close to me and saw tens of tiny jellyfish, the size of golf balls, rippling around me. It was not the conclusion I was hoping for, especially since I was holding onto the mooring line with a few minutes left on my safety stop! I turned around and tried to shield my face but felt more stings as I waited out my time and then surfaced. The evidence appeared on my face soon after - a half moon shape of stings from my lip on down, and a nice patchwork around my knee. It was enough to get me to wear a wetsuit for the next dive, but then I gave up again because I strongly dislike wetsuits, especially when the water is warm enough not to need one. The stings were worth it. Kendra got a few, Tiera wore her wetsuit so really didn't get any, but my legs emerged quite battered by the fourth day.
Other forever memories from the trip: That time Kendra and I *almost* got lost underwater, diving with cod as big as we are, seeing turtles and sharks and barracuda and Nemo fish, making friends with our fellow divers who were amusing characters of all sorts, talking in our bunks before bed, rationing the hot water in our shower between dives, living on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
The third day we came upon Lizard Island, where we docked for the night and went ashore Thursday morning (New Years Eve). We had some time to explore the beach and we hiked over the ridge to the "airport". On Lizard Island, there is an exclusive resort, a research station, and not much else. Half of the divers on our boat (including us) were getting off to fly back to Cairns, while a new group flew to Lizard to join the boat that was going to continue another few days. When our 10-passenger plane arrived, we were amused to see the many responsibilities of the pilot: fly the plane, unload baggage, give the safety briefing, pass out refreshments (before we left, don't worry), and give historic/cultural commentary during flight. Since we had just been diving, it was a low-level flight back - just above the water. It was gorgeous and a highlight of the entire dive experience.
Land sighting! Lizard Island, just ahead.
Coming ashore on the beautiful Lizard Island.
From the beach above we trekked over the hill (currently atop) to the other side of the island.
Where we met our plane. No airport, just waited under the trees until the pilot told us we could get on.
We had to wear life jackets strapped around our waists in case we went down over the ocean. Also, notice my lips -- no I am not wearing lipstick, they are just dark because of the jellyfish sting on my lip and down the side of my chin.
Unbelievable views flying back to Cairns with the reef below us the whole way.
A few of my jellyfish stings ... as I am writing this, 3 weeks later, you can
still see these marks on my knee, just less red.
When we arrived back in Cairns, we had a few hours to kill at the airport before we flew back to Sydney for New Years Eve fireworks with the family. As our (much bigger) plane took off for Sydney, the three of us laughed and said wholeheartedly there were no regrets. There were so many unexpected experiences, ups and downs, hilarity and nervousness and sunburns and salt, but it was undoubtedly worth it. I do not get these moments with my sisters very often, so they are all the sweeter.

The Variety of Uses for the CBD Oil
Right now you could be joining millions of people who have found a safe alternative to healing, but you probably don't even realize the healing powers of the CBD oil. This powerhouse of a product has been used for years after cancer treatments to help patients to deal with pain, but today the uses are further reaching than anyone could have imagined.
Here are a few of the reasons you should at the least try the CBD oil. The CBD oil will;
Strengthen your weak and damaged hair by restoring the damage that was done by years of harsh cleaning products. When the natural oils are stripped away, the hair becomes weak and brittle.
Allow you to finally get that full night sleep by soothing the body and mind before you even climb in bed. The end result is you sleep soundly and wake the next day feeling completely rejuvenated.
Lower your cholesterol so the number is within the safe range for your age. The oils will also help to speed up your metabolism so that your body can burn fatty deposits more rapidly.
Lessen the appearance of those varicose veins. Additionally, it will help to lessen the discomfort that you are felling too. This is a huge positive contrast to having surgery to alleviate that pain.
Help to reduce the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles on your face by moisturizing the lower layers of the skin and giving you back that supple and soft glow you enjoyed in your younger years.
Helps to reduce anxiety and depression without the use of addictive and powerful medications.
These were just a small sampling of the healing properties of the CBD vape oils. Try it for yourself and you will stand back in awe at the difference it can make.

What is Web Hosting and why do I need it?
There is a lot of confusion around what web hosting is, why you need it and why you have to pay for it. Before getting into the various types of hosting available let's just clarify what web hosting is and why it's totally essential.
In essence web hosting is renting an amount of space on a computer (server) that is connected to a very high speed internet connection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is always on, always available and it's sole job is to display (serve) your website to user when required. It's also very common for your emails to be hosted in the same place (unless you are using a 3rd party for emails such as Office 365 or a hosted exchange server).
There is obviously quite a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make sure that this is always the case including the very high speed internet connection, hardware maintenance on the server, software maintenance and upgrades, security maintenance etc. Whilst it's technically possible to do all of this yourself for very small sites with small numbers of visitors the vast majority of businesses use a hosting provider, either directly (self-hosted) or via their web company (managed hosting).
These providers specialise in looking after very large banks of servers and ensure that everything runs smoothly including sorting out any issues that occur at any time. Costs don't need to be high and unless you are determined to satisfy your inner geek there is simply no sane reason to host a site on your own PC (which would then have to be left on 24/7/365) although it can be a fun learning experience if you are that way inclined 🙂
What types of hosting are available?
There are many types of hosting configurations available but if you just want to concentrate on the rest of your business and let someone else worry about making sure your website and emails are working then you can skip straight to the Managed Web Hosting section.
We are going to break hosting down into 2 types – self hosting and managed hosting.
As with many things on the internet hosting is rapidly evolving and prices and details may change quickly. It should also be noted that there are a huge number of hosting providers out there and some are much better than others. Spending some time asking questions is usually a good idea to get a feel for how helpful they will be. As a general rule they will all provide some technical support to you but ultimately this is at their discretion, especially if the issue is with the website coding.
It's also worth a brief mention that there are other approaches that are possible such as using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to provide a faster delivery of the 'heavy' files website use, especially images, videos and pdfs but that's beyond what we will discuss here.
Self Hosting
This does not mean hosting a web site on the old PC that you have in the spare bedroom. What it does mean is that you pay a monthly or annual fee for space on a server with a hosting provider. You will be provided with a control panel and some login details and you everything you need to run a single or multiple websites from it.
There are a lot of options depending on what you need with the main factors being how big the site is and how popular it is.
(The type of coding the site is written in is also crucial – the majority of sites (including WordPress) are written in languages that generally lend themselves better towards Linux based hosting but some sites (such as Kentico and MojoPortal) use coding that needs a Windows based server.)
Below is a list of the main options for self hosted sites including some idea of price and suitability.
The important thing to remember on shared hosting is that you will be fully responsible for ensuring any sites on there are kept up to date and secure – not least as it has a potential knock on to any other users also using that server.
Shared Hosting
This is the lowest option for hosting (there are some free options around but they usually have some kind of serious drawback so are being ignored here).
Shared hosting essentially means that you pay for hosting space on a server along with many other sites – a single server may have hundreds or even thousands or users and hundreds or thousands or websites on it. This means that whilst you have your own space on the server the server resources are being shared across all of these sites.
in practise this isn't as problematic as it may sound. The vast majority of the sites are likely to be fairly small with small amounts of traffic and therefore aren't placing big demands on the server. However, if there are any very big of very popular sites it can start to stress the server quite a lot and you might start seeing timeouts or other problems when loading your site – at the very least you will see a marked slowdown. Most (certainly the better ones) hosting companies do place restrictions on and controls though and sites that are constantly over using resources are asked to upgrade to one of the other options below.
If you are just starting out then shared hosting is usually a great place to start – it's a low cost solution and you can upgrade your hosting setup as your site grows where needed. There are many, many companies to choose from but someone like Siteground would be a good place to start with costs starting as low as £2.75 per month for a small site.
Virtual Private Server
If your site grows and you find you are getting very high volumes of traffic you may notice that it starts to slow down. At this point you might want to start looking at some more powerful hosting options that can better deal with your increased demands – nobody (including Google, likes waiting ages for sites to load).
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is generally the next step up from shared hosting. A VPS is where several virtual servers are installed on a single physical server. They are all run separately from each other and are given much more resources than is available to a shared hosting account – you can choose the configuration of the server upon purchase and will be advised by the hosting company.
As is expected the cost is also much higher and you may also be expected to maintain the server yourself – install software updates etc. Once you get into this level you'll also often find that the generally nice, user friendly control panels may disappear or be a paid for extra. You can purchase fully managed VPS solutions for around £40 per month from established companies like Vidahost.
Dedicated Server
This solution is generally one step up from a VPS and is a stand alone server that only you have the use of. A Dedicated server with a high specification will quite happily deal with all but the most demanding of website and traffic volumes. As with the VPS there tends to be a managed and un-managed option and unless you are reasonably familiar with servers I'd suggest the managed options. Also as with VPS servers you will probably need to pay separately for any control panel system or be happy to work directly with the setup (Apache, NGINX, IIS etc).
As you have an entire server at your disposal this option is again much more expensive, Siteground servers start at around £150 per month.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting covers a wide range of options and usually means that multiple servers are 'joined' together and their resources and files pooled. There are many ways to setup these kind of systems but the idea is that if any server in the group has a breakdown then the other servers will seamlessly take over. As the files are replicated frequently / constantly then it provides a very robust solution. It also means that if one server is extremely busy the other servers can often help out.
Cloud system can cover all options from shared hosting which is usually reasonably cheap (£5 – £20 per month) through to cloud based dedicated servers which may cost £thousands per month.
Managed Hosting
On the assumption that you are still with me you might be thinking that the above seems rather complicated and an awful lot of hard work, time and most likely frustration when really you want to be spending that time working on your business and leaving someone else to worry about all that?
In this case then looking at Managed Hosting solutions will be ideal for you. Whilst managed hosting options are fairly widely available in the WordPress ecosystem we will also include any platform managed for you by a third party.
Again I'm going to divide this group in 2 sections roughly grouped as Partly Managed Hosting and Fully Managed Hosting.
Partly Managed Hosting
This is some form of the hosting mentioned in several of the areas above – for example paying for a VPS where the VPS itself is managed for you – server software is updated, hardware is maintained etc.
In the WordPress environment partly managed hosting is also commonly offered by companies in the form of them keeping your WordPress install up to date (and sometimes plugin as a configurable option) as and when new releases are available. This ensures that any known security issues are addressed as soon as they are available and also means that you won't need to worry about keeping WordPress up to date.
However, there can be some drawbacks to this and whilst (thankfully) reasonably rare they do still happen. Sometimes when WordPress is updated and a security issue is fixed then depending on the details it can cause other things such as plugins and themes to break. If this happens to you then you can try to update everything else on the site (if it is accessible) and if that still doesn't fix it then you'll need to get in touch with a web developer to help you sort it out.
Prices vary widely but generally start around £20 – £30 per month for a single site.
Aside from any area (such as WordPress, server maintenance) that is managed for you it's important to realise that you are responsible for all other updates including important security updates.
Fully Managed Hosting
Finally we have the fully managed option which is the preferred option of the vast majority of the clients we build websites for – simply put they don't want the hassle of dealing with their own hosting and just want their sites and emails to work!
Although there are a lot of companies that offer fully managed hosting including some quite large one, especially in the WordPress ecosystem such as WP Engine each company offers it own service so check carefully what is offered. In some cases using managed hosting can mean restrictions on what you can and can't do – certain plugins might not be allowed etc.
The other key thing to consider is just how fully managed your site will be – are they just updating WordPress, updating WordPress and all plugins, updating WordPress and all plugins and checking that the updates haven't broken anything on the site etc. etc.
Again prices vary widely, partly depending on what is offered, but generally start around £25 – 40 per month, just be clear what you are getting with any package you choose as to what is being covered.
Swell Pixel offers fully managed web hosting as standard. For any websites that we've built this means that we will ensure they are kept fully up to date and resolve any issues that arise from the updates as part of the monthly fee. For websites we haven't built that we take over this has to be reviewed on a site by site basis as we need to look at how the site has been put together, potential quality issues etc.
As discussed above there is a large choice of hosting options available for your website (and email). In our experience most clients tend to prefer the fully managed hosting solution unless they have a fairly good level of technical knowledge, time and aren't too worried if their website and email stop working for (hopefully) brief periods of time.
If you want to discuss your hosting requirements or need any help or advise, please get in touch.

In the Battle for Overhead Bin Space, It Often Comes Down to Who's Paid A Fee.
A frosted cake. A 10-gallon hat. A car muffler.
People have crammed all sorts of things—including a kitchen sink—into airplane overhead compartments, states a recent New York Times article. But for airlines, the battle of the bins has now turned into the business of the bins.
After charging fees for checked baggage (which has encouraged more and more passengers to cram everything they own into carry-ons), airlines are finding new ways to make money from the baggage brought onto planes. Overhead compartments, the article says, are valuable real estate. And these days, they're going to the highest bidders.
If you're stuck at the bottom of the boarding hierarchy, good luck finding room for your bag.
From airline credit cards to first class seats to extra fees for boarding near the front of the line, priority is increasingly given to those who pay. "There are multiple ways you can improve upon your boarding zone," Andy Jacobs, the president of a candy company who travels about twice a month, told The Times. "As a diamond member on Delta, I never have a problem securing space."
Many travelers may not realize it, but a seat ticket does not automatically entitle them to overhead space. Once space runs out, passengers must check their luggage at the gate (for free), then wait for it at Baggage Claim at their destination. Airlines are capitalizing on the fact that many, if not most, fliers are willing to pay in order to skip the extra time and hassle of claiming their bag.
Limited overhead bin space all too often leads to bad behavior
So what happens when there are way more bags than places to put them? As frequent fliers know all too well, things can get pretty nasty. "When someone gets to their row and looks up and sees something's there, they kind of freak out about it," Brian Easley, a career flight attendant, said. "They will throw a fit and start screaming at whoever put their stuff in their spot. We've had to throw people off the plane just because they refused to walk up a few feet and stick it in another overhead bin."
Carl Hartman, a marketing executive in New York, said that on one particular flight, another passenger hauled his carry-on out of the overhead bin, then reacted with hostility when confronted. "I said, 'No, find your own space.' He then got really angry and just shoved my bag back where he found it," Mr. Hartman said. "No common courtesy."
Not only that, people will carry on anything and everything. On a flight to the Dominican Republic, Mr. Easley reported, a passenger brought a kitchen sink wrapped in a trash bag. "Luckily, we were flying a particular Airbus that has a ton of overhead bin space," he recalled.
Robert W. Mann, an airline industry consultant, said that although new planes were designed to accommodate more carry-on bags, "there's an infinite demand for overhead bin space," especially as airlines squeeze more people than ever onto planes.
Airlines say that priority boarding, for a fee, is something their passengers want
Boarding when and how they want is "something our customers desire," an American Airlines spokesman, Matt Miller, told The Times. And since there is little chance the airlines are going to do away with checked-bag fees anytime soon (in 2012 alone, domestic carriers collectively earned roughly $3.5 billion from these fees, according to the Department of Transportation), this means the avalanche of carry-on bags will continue, if not increase.
To make matters worse, not all planes are created equal when it comes to overhead space. Smaller, 50-seat regional jets are notoriously stingy with overhead bin space, and older models whose designs predate rolling carry-on bags also are less accommodating.
So before you cram 100 pounds of stuff into a 50-pound bag, especially if you'll be traveling on a smaller or older carrier, you may want to consider paying a fee for a priority boarding zone. Or, better yet, check it!

It won't be a 'no choice roller coaster.'
Posted By Rashid Sayed | On 13th, Jul. 2014 Under News | Follow This Author @GamingBoltTweet
With the advent of PS4 and Xbox One, there is an expectation that worlds will be bigger and more open ended. Battlefield 4 was a fairly linear game so what does that tell us about the mission structure in Battlefield Hardline? Will the single player missions take place across a vast open level or will it take across different regions?
"We're presenting the single-player as a bunch of episodes. We're not making a big open-world game, but it's not as linear as people might be expecting," Creative Director Ian Milham told to GamingBolt. "We want to offer lots of tactical choice within spaces and stuff like that. It's still is a level game with and story, it's not a broad open thing. But it's not just a no choice roller coaster."
Battlefield Hardline is due for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC this October. For more on the game, check out out wiki here. In the mean time let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

With so many fabulous things taking place at the Market Harborough Christmas Fayre tomorrow night (Friday), traders from Harborough Market are reminding shoppers that they too are open until 9pm and ready to join in all of the town's festivities.
So much so, in fact, that Crumbs! owners Simon and Trish Mayers are baking a 3ft celebration cake to wish the people of Harborough a Merry Christmas from all the traders at the market.
Anyone that comes along to the market after 5.30pm can have a free slice of cake (while slices last!) as a thank you for supporting the traders.
"Since re-opening after the refurbishment at the market, our celebration cake business has gone from strength to strength," said Mr Mayers. "This is our way of saying thank you to everyone in the town that has supported us and our fellow traders."
For a 20p donation, shoppers will also be asked to guess the weight of the cake, with the winner receiving a 6" celebration cake from Crumbs!.
"Any money we raise will be donated to the National Autistic Society," added Mrs Mayers. "So we hope people come down and support a great cause."
Sweet traders Brennan's Candy Cabin have also donated chocolates to be given away to children tomorrow night.
Harborough Market manager Sairah Butt urged people not to forget that the market is part of the town activities too.
"We have a host of fabulous stalls, hot food and drink, music from Saxaphonia inside the market, the fabulous Kibworth Operatic Society and the Main Street Band outside of the market, free chocs and of course cake, so hopefully the public will come along and shows us some support."
