Father's Day should focus on positive father involvement, not neckties and pajamas.
Many disenfranchised fathers realize that they are a crucial part of their children's lives but are locked out. Although courts can be stacked against dads and their children, it is important for dads to know that they shouldn't give up. There are strategies to seek out protection for a father's relationship with his children.
The current plight of Fatherhood in America is in crisis. Legislative and legal strategies for improving the plight of fatherless children who have been scarred by the effect of divorce and parental separation is necessary. There is no question that the intense suffering and toxic trauma inflicted on fathers and children by gender bias is serious, widespread and shameful.
For an evaluation of the cumulative, long-term consequences of father absence, however, we must step away from the chaos for a moment. By broadening our perspective, we can see how our court system's decisions affect our children, society and nation's future.
Social scientists have linked fatherlessness to a wide range of social nightmares and
developmental deficiencies. Among these problems, judging by the results of numerous studies, are substantial increases in juvenile crime, drug and alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, promiscuity, truancy, and vandalism. Strong connections have also been established between a father's absence and a child's likelihood of becoming a dropout, jobless, a suicide victim, or a target of sexual abuse.
According to the Fatherhood Educational Institute (www.fatherhood-edu.org), the absence of a biological father increases by 900 percent a daughter's vulnerability to rape and sexual abuse. FBI statistics indicate that a missing father is a more reliable predictor of criminal activity than race, environment or poverty. Psychologists have also documented the developmental difficulties endured by fatherless children. Low self-esteem, poor school performance, hyperactivity, lack of discipline, rejection of authority, depression, withdrawal and several degrees of paranoia were among the disorders identified. As a group, these emotional and behavioral symptoms from what one researcher calls "the adolescent reactive adjustment syndrome." For years after childhood, hundreds of thousands of the fatherless children continue to encounter educational, career, and relationship failures far more often than their peers from intact families.
The bottom line is, fathers are vanishing from the social landscape and it's having
dramatic and extremely serious effects on us all. However, responsible father
involvement can be implemented and should be in all cases, all the time, by creating a Judicial Task Force on Father Absence that would educate all judges on the effects of fatherlessness on children, families and society. Without the data, judges can make decisions that could effect the lives of children by expelling father involvement without knowledge of the effects of father absence on children.
My life long work has been dedicated to defending the rights of fathers and their children.
Their justice is my passion and legacy. As a voice of fathers' rights everywhere, I believe that every day should be Father's Day.

I know a lot of people may claim to make the world's best anything, and I generally never use that title except for when I'm really convinced. Let me tell you, I'm convinced :) This black bean and corn salsa is really delicious! I wanted to make a tasty salsa using these ingredients, but I didn't want to make a dry/chunky one like most recipes I've seen, but instead a more saucy salsa, which is more my style. It is still very chunky, filled with lots of beans and corn, but it's all bound together with a flavorful tomato-based sauce. I used canned black beans and frozen corn to make it easy, but if you wanted to be all natural (and I don't blame you), you can cook your own black beans from scratch, cook and cut fresh corn off the cob, make your own tomato sauce, etc, but I think this is perfect for when you want to whip up a batch of salsa without overexerting yourself. And trust me, when you have a craving, you don't want to overexert yourself :) Immediate gratification is what it's all about!
Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Makes about 6 cups

Since we work in a "pit" environment when one person gets sick we try to separate them from the rest of the group. Recently though a few people have been getting sick more often than normal. We decided to investigate by having the Office of Environmental Health and Safety come out to test the air. They came out but were only going to test the dust in the air. We were looking for mold.
So Tom purchased a do-it-yourself mold test kit. The test was simple: put a petri dish by a vent for 15 minutes and then wait 48 hours. It was Friday so it could sit all weekend but we were sad we couldn't watch its progress. Luckily, Jenn had a webcam and we hooked it up to take a picture every minute. The webcam was kinda crappy so the the video/images came out pretty blurry. Also we had a light on it that caused some condensation.
Time lapse video of mold sample
What happens next
Now that we have this sample we are sending it in for analysis. As you can see from the picture below the mold has begun to grow legs. We are very interested to learn what we are breathing in. As soon as we get the results we will be sure to update everyone.

.WS Domains
If you are looking for a good domain name, but it is not available with your preferred domain extension, one option we can offer you is the country-code extension for Samoa – .WS. The TLD was created in 1995 using the abbreviation for Western Samoa, the name of the state until 199.9 and its popularity has been increasing globally since then. If you wonder what is so unusual about it, just take a look at the actual abbreviation "ws" – for a lot of people it is short for "web site" or "world site", which makes a dot WS domain good for any sort of website, no matter if it is local or global.
The dot WS country-code top-level extension is operated by the SamoaNIC organization under the supervision of the national Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Having in mind that there are no stipulations on who can book a dot WS domain, any person or entity can get one. With our firm, it will take minutes for your domain to be operational. Transfers between domain providers are also permitted, so you can move your .WS over to us and start handling both your domain and your web hosting account from one single place instead of going through a couple of different companies. For the transfer, you will have to obtain the domain's transfer authorization key from the present registrar firm.
.WS Domain Names with Infinityhosting
You're at the right place if you are searching for a home for your .WS domain names. Being fully featured and easy-to-work-with at the same time, our Domain Manager tool will put domain control at your fingertips. You will be the real master of all vital DNS and WHOIS adjustments for your domain name. Want to have multiple domain names? No worries! Controlling multiple domains is a piece of cake with this useful instrument, it's a guarantee.
Moreover, if you're a hosting account owner as well, then you're already aware of the fact that the Domain Manager is in fact built into our Web Hosting Control Panel, containing a separate website administration area too. Yup! Here, websites and domain names are controlled from the very same place and users don't have to adapt to multiple interfaces.

In association with
The 470 (Four-Seventy) is a double-handed monohull planing dinghy with a centreboard, Bermuda rig, and centre sheeting. Equipped with a spinnaker, trapeze and a large sail-area-to-weight ratio, it is designed to plane easily. The name comes from the overall length of the boat in centimetres (i.e., the boat is 4.70 metres long). The 470 is a popular class with both individuals and sailing schools, offering a good introduction to high-performance boats without being excessively difficult to handle, but it is not a boat designed for beginners. Its smaller sister, the 420, is a stepping stone to the 470. The 470 is an International Sailing Federation International Class and has been an Olympic class since the 1976 games.

Did You Know?
"Aside from being a rebel god punished for: 1) creating humans in the image of gods, and then 2) providing humans with the gift of fire, he was banished by Zeus to a place where his liver was eaten each day, and then healed every night. In the medical community, the Prometheus System is sometimes used as part of liver dialysis.
"In fact, Rockefeller Center is a virtual shrine to Prometheus. According to Wikipedia, the golden statue of Prometheus stands at the head of the central fountain..."
Upon further exploration, I learned that Prometheus' liver was eaten specifically by an eagle, as depicted in this 1868 painting by Gustave Moreau. I suppose a hungry eagle would hurt far worse than a Bard sampler. Consider my blessings counted.

Storytelling is a virtue
People like people who are interesting, people they can relate to as being like themselves. Stories help us link up with others as human beings, sharing experiences. The most compelling network marketing stories are those that evoke strong feelings. There is an old saying that goes:
"Talk to me and I hear; Show me and I understand; Tell me a story and I'll remember."
Date Carnegie recommended beginning any speaking presentation with a personal story about an event which holds meaning for you as a quick way to make a connection with your audience. A fast way to start the bonding process with someone is to actively listen to the person and when it's your turn to speak, tell a story that ties into a point made by the other person.
It's natural, and wise, to tell people a story about your network marketing experiences, as the tale you tale can be even more important than product you sell.
A study by Northeastern University revealed that letting a prospect know about one's commercial affiliation with a brand had no measurable effect on the credibility of the word-of-mouth message. More than 75 percent of those surveyed relayed that affiliation was a "non-issue." In fact, the survey discovered people who knew of a representative's commercial affiliation were more likely to feel positively about both the representative and the company.

I have a haunch about these tenons
This episode is a bit longer, but details the entire process I used for cutting these odd looking joints. But I can assure you, the amount of long grain glue surface the haunched tenons provide ensures these doors are nearly indestructible. My process consisted entirely of power tools (except for some fine tuning of the panel), but hand tools could just as easily give good results. I found with power tools, the process is highly repeatable, so if you need to batch out a number of doors, you could do so with ease.

He Rob,
Nice episode ones again. I really like how much time you take in explaining things.
I posted your blog in the dutch forum of woodworkers since i truly think that the way you post your video's and do projects is of great education.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show your process. I enjoy seeing how people do the same thing in different ways. I've done the haunched mortise and tenon joints before too and they are really strong. Only thing I did differently was use a dado stack to cut the tenons since I don't have a tenoning jig. But, I do have a mortiser, so that part for me is much faster. I'll have to get a tenoning jig sooner or later though.
I noticed that you are using a mic now instead of talking to your camera from across the room. It's great that we can hear you in the video now, but the sound quality is almost like listening to you talk though a phone. But, like I said, at least we can hear you!

Thanks Ryan. There are always many ways to achieve a task, and lots of factors go into the decision. Speed to set up, precision, repeatability, safety, and even noise and dust. Tool availability can always be a hurdle, but also a good excuse to go spend some money. As for the audio, I did finally get an external mic, but am still dialing it in. There seem to be some external factors at play that I am working out.

By Paul Hodgson – CCO and Senior Research Officer
Several high-powered institutional shareholders, such as CalSTRS, have indicated that they are going to vote against a number of Wal-Mart directors who, frankly, should have known better. While institutions such as CalSTRS do not often go public with their voting intentions, when they do, you know it is because they wish to gain both traction and support for their point of view.
Not only that but most of the major proxy advisory firms have recommended that shareholders vote against those same directors. These directors include Lee Scott, former CEO of Wal-Mart, who should not be on the board in any case, as he is not independent and there are few enough independent board members as it is. They also include Christopher Williams, the chairman of the audit committee. To my mind, given his fairly evident knowledge of the scandal, I would expect Lee Scott to be the prime target of negative voting, and he may even be a sacrifice the company is willing to make.
As most commentators have already noted, there is no way, assuming that the Walton family votes and the insider (director and officer) votes all vote with management, that any kind of shareholder revolt will result in a majority of the outstanding shares being cast against any of the directors, or, for that matter, for any shareholder resolution, or against any other management resolution (though watch out for that Say on Pay vote!). The Walton family owns 49.81% of outstanding stock, according to GMI Ratings data, the insiders (offices and directors who are not Walton family members) own an additional 0.31% of stock. So the majority is theirs. On the other hand, that leaves just under 50% of publicly held shares that could be voted either way. If even half of those are voted against directors or against management (25% of the outstanding stock), then that would represent a majority of public shareholders.
After all, Wal-Mart is not News Corp, another controlled company to face serious shareholder dissent, but one which ignored what its shareholders thought through depriving them of any voting power. Wal-Mart does not have multiple classes of stock with different voting rights, currently it does not need such an anti-shareholder provision. Also Wal-Mart seems much more chary of its reputation and good name, despite all the social problems it has encountered recently, and even if a majority of "public" shareholders vote against certain directors – although not an absolute majority – this may be enough for the company to seek to come to some compromise.
We'll see.

A chili cook-off at Old Dominion on Friday helped raise money for The Salvation Army.
Teams paid $10 to enter the contest in the traditional, hot or non-traditional categories. Each team came up with their own theme and created their booth space around that theme.
"Professional" judges, including our own Tom Britt, were brought in before the event started to vote on the three different types of chili from each booth. Once the event started, it was opened up to Old Dominion employees. Employees could vote on Best Overall chili and the Best Presentation (or best booth).

When I was a trainer for a corporate restaurant chain, one area we would always focus on during the beginning of our training classes was the basic restaurant terminology. The reason being, that after working in an arena for a while we tend to take the terminology that goes along with the task for granted as just widely accepted common knowledge. We think everyone knows what we mean when we talk about div tags, design briefs, and splash pages because in the circles we tend to populate, most do. But when you are just getting started, it can be easy to get a bit lost in the lingo, and beyond that, not being aware of the non-commonality of our terminology can impact our client relationships.
Without this awareness of how much of our speech is ingrained in our industry, we forget when communicating with those outside said industry that they may not be following much of what we are saying. And though you do want your clients to know that you know just what it is you are talking about, you also want them to know just what it is that you are talking about. So be sure that you are familiar with which terms tend to only make sense to those in your field, to keep your client conversations on track and from veering into somewhat job-specific, proprietary directions.

Web Design Dictionary
We will begin in the glossary for web designers and I have broken it down into a few different categories to make it easier to swallow, if you will.
General Design Terms
Pixel – In digital imaging, a pixel (or picture element) is a single point in a raster image. The pixel is the smallest addressable screen element, it is the smallest unit of picture which can be controlled.
Resolution – describes the detail an image holds. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image detail.
Wireframe -is a basic visual guide used in interface design to suggest the structure of a website and relationships between its pages. A webpage wireframe is a similar illustration of the layout of fundamental elements in the interface.
Typography Design Terms
Baseline – is the line upon which most letters "sit" and below which descenders extend.
Ascender – is the portion of a minuscule letter in a Latin-derived alphabet that extends above the mean line of a font. That is, the part of a lower-case letter that is taller than the font's x-height.
Descender – is the portion of a letter in a Latin alphabet that extends below the baseline of a font. In most fonts, descenders are reserved for lowercase characters such as g, p, and y. Some fonts, however, also use descenders for some numerals.
Body Height – refers to the distance between the top of the tallest letterform to the bottom of the lowest one.
x-height – or corpus size refers to the distance between the baseline and the mean line in a typeface. Typically, this is the height of the letter x in the font…
Cap height – refers to the height of a capital letter above the baseline for a particular typeface. It specifically refers to the height of capital letters that are flat…
Overshoot – it is the degree to which capital letters go below the baseline or above the cap height, or to which a lowercase letter goes below the baseline or above the x-height.
Glyph – is an element of writing. It is a slightly vague term, but a more precise definition might be an individual mark on paper or another written medium that contributes to the meaning of what is written there. A grapheme is made up of one or more glyphs.
Character – is a unit of information that roughly corresponds to a grapheme, grapheme-like unit, or symbol, such as in an alphabet or syllabary in the written form of a natural language, such as letters, numerical digits, and common punctuation marks.
Font – (also fount) is traditionally defined as a complete character set of a single size and style of a particular typeface. For example, the set of all characters for 9-point Bulmer italic is a font, and the 10-point size would be a separate font, as would the 9-point upright.
Typeface – is a set of one or more fonts, in one or more sizes, designed with stylistic unity, each comprising a coordinated set of glyphs. A typeface usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numerals, and punctuation marks; it may also include ideograms and symbols, or consist entirely of them.
Italic – is a cursive typeface based on a stylized form of calligraphic handwriting. Due to the influence from calligraphy, such typefaces often slant slightly to the right.
Oblique – is a form of type that slants slightly to the right, used in the same manner as italic type. Unlike italic type, however, it does not use different glyph shapes; it uses the same glyphs as roman type, except distorted.
Kerning – is the process of adjusting white spacing in a proportional font. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of letters all have similar area.
Kern – is a part of a type letter that overhangs the edge of the type block.
Leading – refers to the amount of added vertical spacing between lines of type. In consumer-oriented word processing software, this concept is usually referred to as line spacing.
Ligature – occurs where two or more graphemes are joined as a single glyph. Ligatures usually replace consecutive characters sharing common components and are part of a more general class of glyphs called contextual forms…
Serif – is a typeface that contain serifs, or semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols.
Sans-Serif – is a typeface that does not have the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes.
Script – typefaces that are based upon the varied and often fluid stroke created by handwriting.
Monospaced Font – is a font whose letters each occupy the same amount of space. This contrasts to variable-width fonts, where the letters differ in size to one another.
Subscript & Superscript – is a number, figure, symbol, or indicator that appears smaller than the normal line of type and is set slightly below or above it – subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above.
Alignment – is the setting of text flow or image placement relative to a page, column (measure), table cell or tab. The type alignment setting is sometimes referred to as text alignment, text justification or type justification.
- Flush Left – the text is aligned along the left margin or gutter, also known as ragged right.
- Flush Right – the text is aligned along the right margin or gutter, also known as ragged left.
- Centered – text is aligned to neither the left nor right margin; there is an even gap at the end of each line
- Justified – ext is aligned along the left margin, and letter- and word-spacing is adjusted so that the text falls flush with both margins, also known as full justification.
em – is a unit of measurement in the field of typography. This unit defines the proportion of the letter width and height with respect to the point size of the current font.
em-dash – often demarcates a parenthetical thought or some similar interpolation.
en – is a typographic unit, half of the width of an em. By definition, it is equivalent to half of the height of the font.
en-dash – is usually half the width of an em dash and is commonly used to indicate a closed range (a range with clearly defined and non-infinite upper and lower boundaries) of values.
Color Design Terms
CMYK – is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key black.
RGB – additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.
Spectrum – is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye.
Hue – is one of the main properties of a color, defined technically (in the CIECAM02 model), as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, green, blue, and yellow,".
Lightness & Tone – a property of a color, or a dimension of a color space, that is defined in a way to reflect the subjective brightness perception of a color for humans along a lightness–darkness axis. A color's lightness also corresponds to its amplitude.
Tint & Shade – the mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, and a shade is the mixture of a color with black, which reduces lightness. Mixing with any neutral color, including black and white, reduces chroma or colorfulness, while the hue remains unchanged.
Composition Design Terms
Composition – the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art.
- Line – the visual path that enables the eye to move within the piece
- Shape – areas defined by edges within the piece, whether geometric or organic
- Color – hues with their various values and intensities
- Texture – surface qualities which translate into tactile illusions
- Form – 3-D length, width, or depth
- Value – Shading used to emphasize form
- Space – the space taken up by (positive) or in between (negative) objects
Perspective – an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn are smaller as their distance from the observer increases and foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight (see later).
Contrast – the difference in visual properties that makes an object (or its representation in an image) distinguishable from other objects and the background.
Symmetry – an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance such that it reflects beauty or perfection.
Whitespace – often referred to as negative space, it is that portion of a page left unmarked: the space between graphics, margins, gutters, space between columns, space between lines of type or figures and objects drawn or depicted. The term arises from graphic design practice, where printing processes generally use white paper.
Web Developer Dictionary
Now we come to the Developer's section of this massive web term glossary. Below are a plethora of definitions that should be a part of your vocabulary if you develop for the web.
General Developing Terms
CMS – A content management system (CMS) is a collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. In a CMS, data can be defined as almost anything – documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data, etc. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching, and publishing documentation.
Client Side – refers to operations that are performed by the client in a client-server relationship in a computer network. Typically, a client is a computer application, such as a web browser, that runs on a user's local computer or workstation and connects to a server as necessary.
Server Side – refers to operations that are performed by the server in a client-server relationship in computer networking. Typically, a server is a software program, such as a web server, that runs on a remote server, reachable from a user's local computer or workstation.
Frontend/Backend – generalized terms that refer to the initial and the end stages of a process. The front-end is responsible for collecting input in various forms from the user and processing it to conform to a specification the back-end can use. The front-end is a kind of interface between the user and the back-end.
DNS – The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary) identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
FTP – File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange and manipulate files over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server applications. FTP is used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access.
Sitemap – a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.
UI – the system by which people (users) interact with a machine. The user interface includes hardware (physical) and software (logical) components. User interfaces exist for various systems, and provide a means of input, allowing the users to manipulate a system, and/or output, allowing the system to indicate the effects of the users' manipulation.
Markup Language – a system for annotating a text in a way which is syntactically distinguishable from that text. Examples include revision instructions by editors, traditionally written with a blue pencil on authors' manuscripts, typesetting instructions such those found in troff and LaTeX, and structural markers such as XML tags.
MySQL – a relational database management system (RDBMS) that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements.
PageRank – a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set.
RSS – RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (usually called a "feed") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.
Root Directory – the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy. It can be likened to the root of a tree – the starting point where all branches originate.
SEO – Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.
Web Standards – a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development that includes those methods.
Web 2.0 – commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Examples of Web 2.0 include web-based communities, hosted services, web applications, social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashups, and folksonomies. A Web 2.0 site allows its users to interact with other users or to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of information that is provided to them.
Database – a collection of data for one or more multiple uses. One way of classifying databases involves the type of content, for example: bibliographic, full-text, numeric, image. Other classification methods start from examining database models or database architectures: see below. Software organizes the data in a database according to a database model. As of 2010[update] the relational model occurs most commonly. Other models such as the hierarchical model and the network model use a more explicit representation of relationships.
Developer Languages
CSS – Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts.
HTML – HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms.
XML – XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a set of rules for encoding documents electronically. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C and several other related specifications; all are fee-free open standards.[3]
XML's design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format, with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Although XML's design focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, for example in web services.
XHTML – XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which web pages are written. While HTML (prior to HTML5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because XHTML documents need to be well-formed, they can be parsed using standard XML parsers—unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
PHP – PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document.
ASP.NET – a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.
Developer Content Terms
Doctype – A Document Type Declaration is an instruction that associates a particular SGML or XML document (for example, a webpage) with a Document Type Definition (DTD) (for example, the formal definition of a particular version of HTML). In the serialized form of the document, it manifests as a short string of markup that conforms to a particular syntax.
Favicon – short for favorites icon is a 16×16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks.
Form – allows a user to enter data that is sent to a server for processing. Webforms resemble paper forms because internet users fill out the forms using checkboxes, radio buttons, or text fields. For example, webforms can be used to enter shipping or credit card data to order a product or can be used to retrieve data (e.g., searching on a search engine).
Hyperlink – a reference to a document that the reader can directly follow, or that is followed automatically. The reference points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document. Hypertext is text with hyperlinks. Such text is usually viewed with a computer. A software system for viewing and creating hypertext is a hypertext system. To hyperlink (or simply to link) is to create a hyperlink. A user following hyperlinks is said to navigate or browse the hypertext.
robots.txt – The Robot Exclusion Standard, also known as the Robots Exclusion Protocol or robots.txt protocol, is a convention to prevent cooperating web spiders and other web robots from accessing all or part of a website which is otherwise publicly viewable. Robots are often used by search engines to categorize and archive web sites, or by webmasters to proofread source code. The standard is unrelated to, but can be used in conjunction with, Sitemaps, a robot inclusion standard for websites.
.htaccess – the default name of a directory-level configuration file that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. The .htaccess file is placed inside the web tree, and is able to override a subset of the server's global configuration; the extent of this subset is defined by the web server administrator.[1] The original purpose of .htaccess was to allow per-directory access control (e.g. requiring a password to access the content), hence the name.
Flash – a multimedia platform that is popular for adding animation and interactivity to web pages. Originally acquired by Macromedia, Flash was introduced in 1996, and is currently developed and distributed by Adobe Systems. Flash is commonly used to create animation, advertisements, and various web page Flash components, to integrate video into web pages, and more recently, to develop rich Internet applications. Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics, and supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video.
CSS Terms
Span & Div – elements used where parts of a document cannot be semantically described by other HTML elements. Most HTML elements carry semantic meaning – i.e. the element describes, and can be made to function according to, the type of data contained within. For example, a p element should contain a paragraph of text, while an h1 element should contain the highest-level header of the page; user agents should distinguish them accordingly. However, as span and div have no innate semantic meaning besides the logical grouping of the content, they can be used to specify non-standard presentation or behaviour without superfluous semantic meaning.
ID & Class – The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element. The class selector is used to specify a style for a group of elements. Unlike the id selector, the class selector is most often used on several elements.
Float – Elements are floated horizontally, this means that an element can only be floated left or right, not up or down. A floated element will move as far to the left or right as it can. Usually this means all the way to the left or right of the containing element. The elements after the floating element will flow around it. The elements before the floating element will not be affected. If an image is floated to the right, a following text flows around it, to the left.
Box Model – All HTML elements can be considered as boxes. In CSS, the term "box model" is used when talking about design and layout. The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around HTML elements, and it consists of: margins, borders, padding, and the actual content. The box model allows us to place a border around elements and space elements in relation to other elements.
Margin – The margin clears an area around an element (outside the border). The margin does not have a background color, and is completely transparent. The top, right, bottom, and left margin can be changed independently using separate properties. A shorthand margin property can also be used, to change all margins at once.
padding – The padding clears an area around the content (inside the border) of an element. The padding is affected by the background color of the element. The top, right, bottom, and left padding can be changed independently using separate properties. A shorthand padding property can also be used, to change all paddings at once.
border – The CSS border properties allow you to specify the style and color of an element's border.
Positioning – The CSS positioning properties allow you to position an element. It can also place an element behind another, and specify what should happen when an element's content is too big. Elements can be positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position property is set first. They also work differently depending on the positioning method.
Overflow – The overflow property specifies what happens if content overflows an element's box. (visible, hidden, scroll, auto)
Z-Index – The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element. An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order. Z-index only works on positioned elements (position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed).
Typography Developer Terms
- Letter-Spacing – increase or decrease the space between characters
- Line-Height – sets the distance between lines
- Text-Align – aligns the text in an element
- Text-Decoration – adds decoration to text (underline, line-through, overline)
- Text-Indent – Indents the first line of text in an element
- Text-Transform – controls the letters in an element (capitalize, uppercase, lowercase)
- Word-Spacing – increase or decrease the space between words
- Font-Family – specifies the font family for the text
- font-size – sepcifies the size of the text
- font-style – specifies the style for the text (normal, italic, oblique)
- font-varient – specifies whether a text will be displayed in small caps
- font-weight – specifies the weight of a font (light, bold)
Font Stack – The font-family property specifies the font for an element. The font-family property can hold several font names as a "fallback" system. If the browser does not support the first font, it tries the next font. Start with the font you want, and always end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available.
Blockquote – used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source. Using the default HTML styling of most web browsers, it will indent the right and left margins both on the display and in printed form.

One spring evening in 1990, my wife said the two words I had hoped never to hear. No, not those two words . . . we already had three children. The words I'm referring to are "garage" and "sale".
Now, said separately and in another context, these words aren't particularly threatening. However, when placed in the same sentence, followed by a date and time, they can be devastating. At least that's the way I used to feel.
I can remember all the stereotypes associated with a garage sale (a.k.a. yard sale, rummage sale), and most of them, quite honestly, were negative. But since that enlightening weekend in 1990, I have developed a fondness, an acquired taste if you will, for these events. That's why I decided to write this book. I wanted to share the information, stories, and questions my family and I experienced concerning the easiest money I have ever made in my life.
Why Have A Garage Sale?
Of course my first reaction to the announcement from my wife that we were about to embark on this new experience, was "Why?" We were doing OK financially and no big payments were due .. . so what was the point of going through "all that trouble"? My wife's response: "It'll be fun." "FUN?" Well, there were some other reasons:
- Make Money (we made $700 that weekend).
- Clean our home of unwanted "stuff" (clothes, books, etc.)
- We met neighbors we had not known we had.
- We provided goods to other at a highly reduced price.
- It did prove to be a fun family experience.
Now before you question number 4, we had one family buy about $300 worth of baby clothes for about $100. (Some of the clothes had only been worn once or twice). And one man bought a lawn mower for $35 (it was about 5 years old and worked fine).
As for number 5, we had a great time. However, I did have to keep an eye on my four-year old. He kept trying to sell his older sister. I tried to sneak that tie my wife bought me for Christmas into the garage sale, but she caught me.
I remember that one gentleman came by just to talk. I was kind of hoping he would buy something. Later, I discovered he was a neighbor from down the street. He had used the garage sale as an opportunity to introduce himself and get to know his neighbors. Since then we have become good friends.
And, oh yes, our garage, attic, and closets had much more room available after our sale. But let's face it, the number one reason for a garage is to make money! And as I said before, we made $700 on our very first attempt. The garage sale is the single most-popular, home-based, money-making event in America today. I think that is why I became "fond" of garage sales; I enjoy making money. The comment I usually get from my skeptical friends is, "Yeah, but I don't really have anything I can sell." My response: "Everyone has something that someone else will buy." What's the old saying? "One man's junk is . . . " well, you know the rest.
Can I Really Make Any Money?
Well, that is the question, isn't it? I remember my initial response to that question: "Not enough for the trouble you have to go through." I was never so wrong about anything in my life.
First of all, the work involved was nothing compared to the financial gains ($350-$750 every time I've had a garage sale). Granted, there is some organizing of merchandise a couple of days before the sale – pricing and placement of "stuff" seems to be important. But once that's taken care of, the rest is easy. In a later chapter, I discuss the optimum placement and pricing of merchandise or "where should I put this stuff and how much should I charge?"
So now that it's been determined that money can be made, let's address what sells and what doesn't. As for what doesn't sell… nothing doesn't sell. OK, English teachers, I know, I know… what I mean, of course, is EVERYTHING sells. I've seen a toy truck with three wheels and no paint sell. It may not go for the $4.95 you originally paid for it, but it might go for 50 cents.
But you're not going to set up a sale just to make 50 cents an item; so I've developed a Top Twelve Most Often Sold And Bought Items In A Garage Sale List.
This list was compiled by some of the most respected and knowledgeable garage sale experts that I know: "Garage Sale Groupies" I call them (my in-laws, the lady who works with my wife, the PTA mom, and the guy who collects power tools and backgammon boards). These people not only go to garage sales, they plan their weekends, vacations, and retirement around them. Hopefully you'll find their list as interesting and helpful as I did.
What Sells… What Doesn't
(Top Twelve List)
As I said before, given the right price, everything will sell. However, some items sell better than others. So here is the list of the "experts":
- Clothes (especially children's clothes)
- Power Tools (saws, drills, sanders)
- Sporting Equipment (golf clubs, workout equip.)
- Bicycles (especially ones ready to ride)
- Electronics (stereos, computers)
- Toys (not broken)
- Household Items (refrigerators, irons, dishes)
- Furniture (chairs, tables, beds)
- Books (especially children's books)
- Gardening Equipment
- Jewelry (watches, rings)
- Miscellaneous (wall hangings, quilts, bedding)

With relatively comfortable temperatures and the dynamic mix of activities that his brood has undertaken, the last several weeks made up one of the more fulfilling Augusts the Miser can remember. Is it so wrong, then, to want to eke out one last weekend in the warmth of the sun?
One way to prolong the vibe might be to take the A train out to the Rockaway Beach Surf Club, a surfing-centric restaurant and bar that hosts a wide variety of exhibitions and performances. This Saturday evening, the ambitiously named Rockaway Beach Jazz Festival will present three veteran local ensembles. Tim Otto, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and the organizer of the event, which is free, is the headliner, with his Free Ride Quartet. Rounding out the bill are Curtis Hasselbring and the New Mellow Edwards, and Michael Blake's Blake, Bates and Bean.
Getting there can take a while, but is fairly straightforward: Take a Far Rockaway-bound A train, then transfer to a shuttle at Broad Channel for one stop, to Beach 90th Street. Arrive early for a reception celebrating the opening of an exhibition of surfing-inspired, neo-psychedelic paintings by Michael Miller at 4 p.m.
(Saturday from 6 to 11 p.m., 302 Beach 87th Street, at Rockaway Freeway, Far Rockaway, Queens; rockawaybeachsurfclub.com.)
Jazz fans back in Brooklyn shouldn't miss a weekend of rather genius pairings of pianists and poets by the upstart arts outfit Jack. Baby Grand Weekend will team the Angelica Sanchez Trio with Christian Hawkey on Friday night; Cooper-Moore, both solo and with a trio, and Carl Hancock Rux on Saturday; and the Connie Crothers/Ken Filiano duo with Eileen Myles on Sunday. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
(Friday through Sunday at 7:30 p.m., 505 ½ Waverly Avenue, at Fulton Street, Clinton Hill; jackny.org.)
While the Miser obsesses over the last shreds of summer, observers of lunisolar calendars are already celebrating mid-autumn. On Saturday afternoon, the Museum of Chinese in America marks the occasion with its Mid-Autumn Moon Family Festival.

This is my third day back from my trip in the Yucatan, and I'm still integrating all that I learned and experienced. For those who have not read my previous posts, let me give you some background information: I am a photographer, and was intuitively feeling that I should not bring my camera on my trip (I teach the Art of Intuitive Photography and generally try to live following my heart and intuition). The trip was part vacation, part spiritual growth as I joined a group to celebrate the end of the Mayan calendar, the beginning of the new era, as well as to welcome in the winter solstice.
The first few days were extremely difficult. I was going through camera withdrawal. I was seeing images everywhere, and even though I knew I had to let go of 'doing' my brain/body was having a hard time comprehending what that meant. Slowly I was able to comprehend what it felt like to be, to experience. Letting go and not having the weight of my camera on my neck/back/mind allowed me to feel much lighter but also free. Free to smell, touch, experience my immediate surroundings. To bask in the feeling of gratitude and humbleness (and let me tell you, there was a ton of that going on).
As my group members were busy taking photos during our free time in the pyramids, I found myself wandering and exploring. I found objects that were clearly gifts for me. I could watch the colorful birds fluttering by and heard their conversations. I sat and meditated. I connected to Mother Earth. I felt the universal energy flow in my body. It was all magical and beautiful and life changing.
The intent of this trip was meant for me to be, to connect to my inner self and my higher consciousness. I eventually succeeded. In the end, the images have all been captured and are residing in my mind and heart. But next time? My camera and I will go together.
PS – Of course I had to take some photos with my iPhone – I couldn't go cold turkey!

A pole runs through a pocket on each side; the base is driven into the ground, while the top is secured with ropes held by your cheerleaders. This allows your athletes to burst through the banner for a dramatic on field entrance.

Almost every business needs a quality manager, although not all companies use that exact term for the position. Other names for quality manager jobs include quality control manager, quality assurance manager, and quality project manager. Many businesses have specialty positions, such as cancer data quality manager, food safety and quality manager, and claims quality manager. When a person is seeking a job as a quality manager, he or she should read the company's job description carefully to learn about the position. Typically, businesses require experience in the field or industry as well as educational degrees.
Many different professions offer quality manager jobs. Quality managers work in manufacturing, retail, and service industries. Generally, the quality manager jobs are similar. Quality managers often supervise others as they perform quality checks and tests. They usually are responsible for setting quality goals, training workers to achieve the goals, and managing paper or electronic documentation.
In manufacturing, quality manager jobs often involve implementing quality assurance programs, such as Six Sigma, ISO, and lean manufacturing. Sometimes a quality manager works with other managers to set financial goals and monitor the progression of these goals. In specialty manufacturing, such as electronics, a quality manager is often responsible for overseeing the training of employees in processes like soldering and testing. In other manufacturing businesses, a quality manager may be responsible for documenting the company's compliance with regional and local regulations and laws. Often the quality department is responsible for implementing environmental policies.
Quality manager jobs in the retail, health care, and service industries are oriented toward people service more than the making and selling of a physical product. Often the quality manager is responsible for establishing employee training programs and monitoring the results. At times, quality managers may be responsible for ensuring that the business obtains proper licenses and accreditations, especially where essential data is involved. One example is that cancer data quality managers usually train employees to obtain and maintain accurate data.
Companies that operate in areas where there are environmental concerns often hire quality managers. Some of the businesses that need to monitor the quality of resources include large farms, forestry-based industries, and mining firms. Frequently, workers in these quality manager jobs spend a high percentage of their workday in the field, performing tests or training personnel to comply with government regulations.
Other quality manager jobs are available in the construction industry, in the biotechnology field, and at larger janitorial firms. Sometimes managers in fields such as janitorial or food industries travel from site to site, whereas other managers, such as a nuclear quality assurance manager, may stay at one facility. Supplier quality managers, purchasing quality managers, or merchandise quality managers usually visit vendors' facilities and often travel internationally.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Ken Griffey Jr's daughter, Taryn Griffey, turns down top hoops programs to play at 12-18 Arizona with her brother
Taryn Griffey is more than just Ken Griffey Jr.'s daughter; she's also one of the best prep girls basketball prospects in the nation. In fact, Taryn Griffey is such a promising prep hoopster, she was recruited by many of the nation's best programs even after missing her entire junior season following an ACL injury in October.
Most expected Griffey to accept a scholarship from one of those highly touted programs. Instead, she's heading to a school where the team often fails to reach a .500 record, let alone the Final Four.
On Wednesday evening, Griffey committed to play her collegiate basketball at the University of Arizona, which finished the 2012-13 season with a record of 12-18, including a dire run of 13 losses in the team's final 14 games.
That doesn't sound like a program well suited for a top-50 recruit, but there are other compelling reasons for Griffey to wind up in the desert. Primary among them is her brother, Trey Griffey, who is a wide receiver on the Arizona football team.
"My family was pretty shocked. I hadn't said anything because I didn't really know what I was thinking," Taryn Griffey told Central Florida News 13. "My brother is here and my dad and him were high fiving.
"My brother being out there had some influence on it, but I really like the coach and I really like the atmosphere out there."
Given the fact that Griffey Jr. and his father famously had a family thing going in Seattle, the Arizona connection between Griffey Jr's two children is a touching one that both brother and father clearly relish.
While Trey Griffey and the Wildcats coaching staff may have had some impact on the younger Griffey's decision, Taryn insisted that there was a larger motivation behind leaving Florida's humidity for the dry heat of Arizona: The chance to forge a legacy. Griffey cited the recent examples of Baylor superstar Brittany Griner and Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins as ideal models of what she hopes to achieve in Tuscon.

As part of this series, my Patrons have exclusive access to behind the scenes comic creation content, including the entire plotform synopsis for 7" Kara, the 7" Kara beat sheet, the Chapter 7 Synopsis, the Chapter 7 tight script, and loads more. If you learn best from working example, joining my Patreon will give you access to those files.
In comics, there are numerous ways of going from concept-comic, and multiple ways to write a script that works for you. Today I'm going to share my method for writing chapter scripts for my long form comic, 7" Kara, but you may find other methods suit your needs better. I recommend checking out the links in my Outside Resources section at the bottom of this post for more on scripting for comics. If you're interested in learning how to script for a short comic or a mini comic, please check out the below video, if you haven't already.
Lets Make a Comic Concept to Scripting to Thumbnails to Roughs-Becca Hillburn
For story and character development, please read Intro to Comic Craft: Step by Step: Brainstorming and Character Development.
Once I have a solid idea, and have done enough brainstorming to know the main beats of the story, it's time to start solidifying things into a synopsis.
Overall Plotform Synopsis
With the plotform synopsis, I start out pretty simple- beginning, middle, and end. After that has been established, I work on fleshing out the sections, based on the 3 Act structure mentioned in the Brainstorming post. Over the months, I've taken loads of story and worldbuilding notes, and this is a perfect time to weave them into a coherent whole.
My goal isn't to work particularly tight- as a story is drawn, it evolves, and I want to leave room for filling plotholes, new story ideas, and character development.
As mentioned in the Brainstorming post, it is key that you have an idea of how you want your story to end.
Once I've gotten a fairly fleshed out synopsis of my story, I begin to
Break synopsis down into arcs or books
This is more for my own benefit, so I have a reasonable idea of how much work is involved. Of course, with 7" Kara, this is really just an estimate, and it's very prone to change. That's ok! Be open and flexible with your webcomic projects.
Once I've broken my synopsis down into arcs or books, it's time to
Break the synopsis down into chapters
I work on a chapter per chapter basis, and occasionally go back to the original plotform synopsis document and make additions, notes, and changes.
So when I'm ready to begin a new chapter:
When writing a chapter
Copy that chapter text into a new file/Google Doc
Chapters should have a beginning, middle, and end as well. For children's comics, I lead in with large establishing shots, to give the young reader time to adjust to the change in scenery, and an opportunity to immerse themselves in the world.
Begin fleshing that chapter out
Once I've established where the chapter is going (and this is usually already established by the synopsis segment I've copy and pasted into a new document), it's time to start adding details and flesh things out.
Get an outside view on the overall chapter
For me, this involves sending my chapter (via Google Docs) to a couple beta readers. The earlier I can get critique, the more I'm able to make necessary changes and improve the story.
Break chapter into page units
Control Enter for each page, so every page is a fresh page. Convert original text to italic, begin fleshing out page in normal font.
I break my pages down by:
A row of panels, almost always related. Think call and response, question and answer. This is based off a technique demonstrated by Kiyohiko Azuma in Yotsuba&!.
Individual illustrations on the page, usually surrounded by borders. Try to limit your panel to ONE action, if possible, unless its a special shot.
In comics, dialogue is usually contained in speech balloons, narration is contained in boxes. Try to stick to one type per page, if possible. Dialogue can quickly overwhelm the page, covering up the background and characters, so limit it in scenes where you need to show action or scenery.
Include background and staging direction
For the full script, please join my Patreon for access to 7" Kara materials!
Send Google Docs link to Beta readers for comments
I enjoy using Google docs for writing as it allows for easy comments and editing. I can save specific versions of files as an archive if necessary, and have access to these files on any computer and via my phone. Google docs is free and is saved to cloud storage (although I can also download a PDF copy if I wish), so it's really a very handy way to work on comics when you're constantly traveling.
As with synopsis edits, script and dialogue edits are an important stage in refining my work. I try to stay consistent with who I ask to beta read my work, and am careful to pick artists/readers who are familiar with comics, familiar with my work, and feel comfortable being blunt with me.
I've found that, if you are careful with picking your beta readers, the comments that sting the most are usually the ones that have hit home, and definitely deserve your consideration. The sting often comes from the idea of having to cut your darlings- remove portions of the script that you love most, or edits that will take additional time to complete. While these are painful, they're well worth considering.
This is just my method of planning and scripting chapters for 7" Kara. What's important is that you try a variety of methods, and work with the methods that suit your comic best.
Tips on Writing:
Leave time for revision- from yourself and from others. This makes for a stronger story
Don't tight script (dialogue, panel descriptions) unless you know where the chapter is going, you'll script yourself into a hole.
Don't write checks your artist can't cash:
- Too much dialogue per page, no room for characters/setting
- Too many panels per page, for every single page
- Too many characters per page, every page
- Multiple actions in a single panel by a single character (this is just impossible)

Like everything what has a beginning, also has an end.
This is the ending point of my internship to become a Divemaster.
This is one point in my life when something new ended and the point when something will begin.
I must say it was a really great 12 weeks in my life with lot of studies, knowledge and practical exams. I met with new people, which people earned my full and clean respect with that lot of things what they did for me, what they taught me and because i never felt myself as an outsider, much much more as a family member of Paradise Divers!
They were patient all time, opened for any question and the high level knowledge what they ready to teach you!
On my last week we did rescue scenarios with Alvaro and Dan. On Sunday we spent the most of the time in the pool training and teaching Alvaro rescue skills. I was the "dead" diver this time. Before, Alvaro played this role for me so this time it was my to help him learn everything.
Dan sprang on me some rescue scenarios during a normal dive between us when I needed to "save" Alvaro 🙂
But this is the way how you can learn and prepare for this things, how to think and act.
This week we started and finished our mapping project with Alvaro. We did 5 dives for this.
Draw the map, bearings, points of interest, discover marine life on the site and measurements (length, depth).
It sounds easy… but it isn't. You must calculate lot of things together to get the final and correct "picture". After we collected all the data what we wanted we started to do one power point presentation.
On Saturday we showed the presentation to Dan, Tara and Adrian but in the same way as for new divers. They listened and scored the presentation like they are customers. After this went to a dive with them with same conditions. I was leading and Alvaro on the back.
After the dive we discussed what we need to change next time and to pay more attention. They gave very very useful tips/hints.
The good thing with this week was that we had nearly the whole week for us, to learn and practice. We had one scuba diver to open water diver upgrade. The other thing why it was good (not too much divers) is the weather. We had pretty rough days with waves, wind and surge.
We did the EFR traingng and lessons. For me it was a renewal for Alvaro was a full course.
So at all I finished 🙂
Now comes to most annoying part… waiting for my certification.
Thank you for all of you for reading my blog!! I hope you enjoined to read my stories about my internship.
You can still continue follow the blog of Alvaro.
Dan said I'm always welcomed around the dive center for dives so maybe we will met each other there!
I wish to all of you safe and joyful dives where-ever you dive!
Good bye!

What a difference a year makes.
Last June, the annual Run the Plank 5k race was held under some of the summer's worst conditions with a torrential downpour and unseasonable cold conditions keeping many who registered away.
Fast forward to Saturday and the event was held under bright blue skies that greeted the 1,237 runners who finished what has become one of the largest running fields of the year in Macomb County.
Taking top honors in the men's division was Andrew Nelson, 21, of Armada who completed the race in a time of 16:07. The top female was Kayla Gagnon of Riverview, who recorded a time of 18:49. The annual event is a combined effort between Immanuel Lutheran, St. Peter Lutheran, and St. Isidore Catholic churches.

Wild Tales
This beautiful and unique production takes you into the extraordinary imagination of Oscar Wilde with a dynamic interpretation of his collection of short tales, wherein a cold – hearted princess steals your heart, tantalising mermaids tempt your soul away, and rowdy witches drag you into the frenzy of the dance.
Inspired by Oscar Wilde's description of tents in a royal garden in one of his fairy tales, the design offers an evocative temporary stage setting for a troupe of travelling players. The fabric walls and canopy are designed to spark the imagination of the audience with images and associations shifting to suit the story played for example; the sails of a fishing boat, petals of a rose unfurling or blood soaked bandages.
"The beautiful sets were designed by Tobhiyah Stone Feller."

The first year of baby life is such an amazing time for both Mum and Baby to bond. I took this gorgeous photo of Michelle, and her little girl Amelie, when we were doing a family shoot.
Also present at the family portrait photography shoot were Amelie's two older brothers and Dad, Michael, down at Shorncliffe Pier, Sandgate, one early morning. Amelie is just the happiest little baby and was a delight photograph, hold and 'goo' over! It is no wonder that Michelle is having a lovely time with her little girl here in this photo. There is no doubt that she will have two excellent older brothers to look over her.
